MONEY MARKET AN COraraCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE 0' CL 0C K. No material alteration can be reported in the discount market beyond the usual diminution of inquiry on Saturday. First class commercial bills have been negotiated at 38 4 per cent., and there has been rather more inclination on the part of bankers and brokers to secure business. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no gold operations. The directors of the General Credit and Finance Company of London have notified a dividend of 2s. per share, being at the rate of 5 per cent. per an num, for the past half-year, payable on the 15th instant. The General Credit Company have _published the full details for the conversion and unification of the internal debts of the Ottoman Empire, which will take effect on the 15th instant. The report of the Societe Financiere d'Egypte has been issued, and states that the net balance at the credit of profit and loss account amounts to 257,992 francs, which admits of a distribution of interest to the shareholders of 5 per cent. per an num, leaving 7,492 francs to be carried forward to the new account. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. The specie movement during the week has been rather limited, the imports having only amounted ta£102,300, and the exports to £171,400. Two o'CLocic. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 85c. Very quiet.

(Before Mr. Jones.) KNOWLES T. ROBERTS.-A MARRIED WOMAN EXEMPTED FROM IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. This was a judgment summons against Caroline Roberts for money lent, she having signed a promissory note as security for another person. When the ease was called on a working man stepped into the box, and his honour asked him for whom he appeared. He replied that he appeared for Caroline Roberts, and was her husband. His Honour (surprised)—Her husband ! Witness—Yes. His Honour (to plaintiff)—lf this woman is a married woman how came you to get her to put her name to the bill ? Plaintiff—l did not know she was a married woman. She never told me she was, and I do not believe it now. Roberts—Oh ! I can easily prove it by running home and fetching my marriage certificate, besides which my sister, who was present at the ceremony, can at once, as she is in court, bear me out in what I say. Plaintiff—WOl, I have never aeon any man at the house. Where have you been ? Roberts—l have been to sea for five years. His Honour—Well, plaintiff, you see that the defendant is a married woman, and you have not the power to send a married woman to prison for debt. Plaintiff—Well, if I were the judge no doubt I should be of the same opinion as you, but as I am the plaintiff I think it is a very hard case. His Honour (smiling)—Well, I am very 'glad to hear you say so much. You see the defendant is a married woman, and I must dismiss the summons, as I believe the evidence given by the husband. Summons dismissed. A Tribute to the Hammam. (From the Athenxum of to-day.) That Mr. Urquhart has done London good service in placing the Turkish bath amongst the permanent institu tions of the town no one will deny. The Jermyn-streot Hammam is a precious gift to a large number of London residents—to invalids suffering from certain chronic maladies for which the best remedy is a steady per severance in the use of really effieient ,hot baths ; to men of sedentary pursuits and indulgent habits who are debarred from hunting, gymnastic sports, and the many exercises by which the young and vigorous can usually secure for themselves abundant daily perspiration ; and to those numerous persons who, though they prefer the cold bath as an ordinary instrument of ab lution, have recourse to the hot bath when temporary ill ness makes them wish for a quick and thorough sweat. In every respect the establishment is well managed. The cool ness of its frigidarium, the various temperatures of its hot rooms, the efficiency of its attendants, and the delicate cleanliness of its furniture deserves cordial praise. What pen can do justice to its various shampooers,—the thoughtful Teuton whose firm pressure wins the patient's gratitude, the vivacious negro whose forte lies in dext rous percussion with closed fists, the vicious Creole who nips and pulls your fingers till the joints crack, the whimsical Asiatic who with long nails pinches the languid frame from head to foot, and then gently cossets it into delight? What pen can do justice to tha emollient soap, the gentle friction of the hair-glove, the exasperating douche or thrilling plunge, the slow luxurious toilet, broken with coffee and cigar, and lastly the glowing skin, tingling nerves, and glorious sense of rejuvenescence with which the bather walks to his club? The place is a precious gift, all the more valuable because the Turkish bath is disappearing from the land of its birth. The Blockade of Santo Domingo by Spain. --~-- (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) MADRID, Aug. 2. Official despatches have been received here to-day explaining why the Spanish naval force continued the blockade of the island of Santo Domingo after the evacuation. The Captain-General announces in despatches from Santo Domingo, under date Bth July, forwarded via England, that the troops were preparing to quit the capital on the 10th of the month after the evacuation of the other points in occupation, with the exception of the bay of Samaria, had been completed. The blockade of the coast was continued on account of the Santiago Government not having ratified the convention agreed upon by the commissioners appointed to negotiate the eva cuation. Daspatches from the Captain-General of Cuba, dated July 15, state that the Captain-General of Santo Domingo embarked on the 11th July with the forces remaining in the capital, announcing from Santiago de Cuba, on the 13th, that the oper ation had been safely effected. The Diario de Espanol contains the following upon the subject of the Spanish blockade of the island :—" We have received a letter from Havana, which represents a serious state of affairs at Santo Domingo. According to our correspondent, to whom we must give entire credit, the Dominicans, besides declining to accept the convention, refuse to deliver up the prisoners. General Gandara was consequently compelled to issue a notification, dated sth July, declaring that he should continue the war until the Spanish Government determined the question, and that a blockade of the Dominican ports would immediately be established." The semi-official Correspondencia de Espana says : " Our intelligence confirms the above, and we may add that General Gandara, upon seeing that the Dominicans did not fulfil the treaty of the 6th June respecting the surrender of the Spanish pri soners, seized several Dominicans of note at San tiago de Cuba as hostages. On becoming aware of this act, however, the Spanish authorities ordered the hostages to be set at liberty, considering such measures to be repugnant to civilisation, humanity, and sound policy. _ _ " General Gandara believes that the blockade will suffice to compel the Dominicans to fulfil the treaty. " The General is expected to arrive in Europe within three or four days." The Madrid Official Gazette publishes the nomination of Senor Augusto Ullea as Spanish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the King of Italy. The Queen signed last night the decrees appoint ing Senor Isturiz Ambassador at Rome, the Marquis of Lema Ambassador at Paris, and Senor Comyn, Minister at Lisbon.

" Many men have taken pledges," says the writer, " who, to our certain knowledge, do not intend to be bound by them." We fear Blackwood keeps bad company ; perhaps even admits pledge-breakers to its columns. TIIE LONGEST AERIAL FLIGHT ON RECORD, according to the Mechanics' Magazine, was made by Mr. Wise, Mr. La Mountain, and others, who started from St. Louis for New York. They succeeded in follow ing the course they had mapped out for themselves until they had crossed Lake Erie, when they were caught in an adverse current of air and forced to abandon their original design, after having travelled 1,150 miles in less than 20 hours. Mr. Low, another American aeronaut, has con structed what he terms an aerial ship, the greatest circum ference of which is 387 feet., with a capacity to hold 700,000 cubic feet of gas, and a lifting power of 22 tons The machine is furnished with many novel appliances for the purpose of elevating, depressing, and directing the machine ; and in this machine Mr. Low proposes to cross the Atlantic in fifty or sixty hours. THE DUTIES ON SPIRITS.—The duties on spirits realised in the year ended the 31st March last amounted to no less a sum than £10,640,066 13s. 10d. The net produce was £10,176,731 4s. 3id. THE DUTY ON RAILWAYS.--i-it appears that £439,343 15s. 3d. was the duty paid by railways in the year ending the 31st March ist; POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. A very military-looking man named Walter John Plun kett Wade was placed before Mr. Flowers, on 'remand, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. The prisoner was first brought before the magistrate at this court on Saturday last, and tho officer who had him in custody said as he approached him on the previous night the prisoner mounted on the parapet of Waterloo-bridge, and appeared to be about to jump over. Tho constable ran up to him and seized him by the coat, when he began to struggle, and said he would return and destroy himself even if he was prevented from doing so on that occasion, as he was sick of life and endless trouble. The officer brought him to this court next morning, when he mado a long and painful story about the breaking up of his home, the desertion of his misguided but still beloved wife (who had been the victim of a vile seducer), and the poverty which had come upon him in consequence, his mind being unfitted for any mental labour. He stated that ho had been in the army, and since conducted a small school for army students, at Richmond, but that now he was a ruined man, without the power of supporting his two little ohildren whom he had hitherto kept at a school away from the corrupting influences of a vicious example. He had commenced proceedings against his poor wife, but had abandoned them out of sheer love for her ; ho was willing to forgive all. Mr. Flowers said on the charge that had been made he felt disposed to discharge him, but Mr. Oehme, a solicitor, who appeared on the part of de fendant's wife, said he wished to inform the court of the true history of the case, and of the cruel wrong he had done the woman, who, for the purpose of exciting sympathy, he had pretended to love. He showed, from documents, that the prisoner had a wife living at the Cape when he married, and had been the first to taunt the latter with the invalidity of the mar riage. She was compelled to leave him and go back to her relatives, but he refused to give up the children to her, and she could not tell where he had placed them. The charges of infidelity against his wife were absolutely and utterly false; but, :on the other hand, he had cohabited with a girl named Rowe, and he had the girl's letters and the prisoner's own admission to, the fact besides other proofs of . his abandoned and heartless conduct. There was no doubt he had been formerly in the army, but he was dismissed the service. Ha obtained the hand of his present wife by a false affidavit that he was a widower. Prisoner—My wife knew all the circumstances of the first case when she married me. It is false to say that I deceived her. My acquaintance with Miss Rowe was not criminal, and as to the proceedings in the House of Lords involving the culpability of my wife, refer to the case of Dickinson v. Keeling. It is known to all the world, and was the last case tried in that place. M. Flowers said he should decline to go into these par ticulars, except as an act of justice to his wife, who com plained of his former statement in court respecting her. He said last time he bad commenced a suit against his wife. Mr. Oehme—Which was dismissed by the Court. Defendant—That is not correct. I withdrew it. Mr. Oehme asked the magistrate if he thought the pri soner was a fit and proper person to have the charge of the two children, girls of the ages of six and nine years. His wife's family were quite ready to take charge of the chil dren, but the prisoner refused to say where they were. Prisoner—l am quite willing to take them to m y wife. Mr. Oehme—Your wife very properly refuses to see you, or have anything to do with you. His conduct has been abominable, your worship. I have letters, your worship, to young girls, including one in which he apologises for liberties he had taken with her. In the letter the prisoner called himself a sound Churchman, and that he bad been only following the apostolic mandate of greeting each other with a holy kiss. Prisoner—You must be joking; you can't be sorious. Mr. Oehme—You wrote so in a letter I have read ; do you call that joking ? You also told the young lady you were neither married nor single. Prisoner—That was pending divorce. Mr. Oehme—How could you apply for divorce without you were a married man ? Mr. Flower said he did not think that any good would result from carrying the case further. When the defendant was first before him he felt his statement—when he could not very well stop at the time—was one which would call forth the sympathy of the benevolent persons if true, and also a reply from the lady if untrue. It hsd, done both. A solicitor had attended on hor behalf, and he had heard the emphatic denial that was given to the statements made by the prisoner; that was all ho conceived that was necessary on her part. With respect to public sympathy that had also been aroused, and he had received a number of letters containing considerable sums of money, which ho (Mr. Flowers) was supposed to give to the prisoner if he thought proper. He must also tell the prisoner he had received some letters from people who knew him personally, and from one, written from a place not far from the county of Middlesex, he found him to be quite undeserving of public sympathy. He felt now that his attempt at self-dectruction was a mere pretence, that he never hold any serious intention of doing anything of the kind, but it was merely a trick to enable him to make a statement which would be cal culated to draw forth the assistance of the benevolent. He would not go further into the matter, but he should discharge him for the offence ha had committed, as he had expressed his regret for his conduct to the chaplain of the House of Detention ; but with respect to the money which had been sent to him (Mr. Flower) he should certainly not hand it over to him (the prfsoner), because he believed him quite disentitled to it. He should retain it in posses sion until the senders had bees communicated with Mr. Oehme asked what was to be done about the chil dren. The prisoner refused to give any information. If he was retained in custodg he would be able to get at them through a habeas. Mr. Flower said the residence of Wade was now known to the officers of the court, and he could act in the matter at once without his detention in custody. M ARLBOROUGU-S TREE T. ROBBERY TN A CAB—A CABMAN COMPLIMENTED.—Sarah Consols—but who when before the magistrate changed her name to Maria Alexandra Smith—was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. John Reed, bookseller, of 80, Tachbrooke-street, Pimlico. Inspector Walker, C division, proved having his atten tion called by a cabman in Leicester-square to the prisoner, who was about leaving his cab, the cabman stating that a gentleman who was in the cab asleep had a watch when he got into the cab, and that when the prisoner left it it was gone. The prisoner then jumped into the cab, and he (the inspector) followed her, and while she was "leaning over the gentleman with her hand in her dress pocket, ho seized it, and found in it a gold watch and chain. Hearing at the station in Vine-street, where he took the prisoner, that the gentleman had £5 or .46 in his possession, ho asked the prisoner what money she hid, and she said only five or six shillings, but afterwards above £5 was taken from her. In answer to Mr. Knox, the inipoctor said the prosecutor was drunk, but that the prisoner, who gave a false address, was quite sober. Morris, 173 C, proved that while waiting for the female searcher he saw the prisoner put her hand under her dress, and, on seizing her hand, he found in it £5, one half - sovereign, and some silver. The prosecutor said he met the prisoner in the street, having a friend with him at the time. They went to Notting-hill, where he left his friend, and he then rode back with the prisoner, being drunk at the time. The watch and chain were his property. Mr. Knox said the prosecutor ought to be very thankful to the cabman for recovering . his property, and Mr. Reed said he was. Samuel Bell, cab-driver, badge 14,918, having proved calling the inspector's attention to the prisoner, in conse quence of what he had seen, Mr. Knox. said he had behaved, particularly well, and he wished every cabman wan: like him. Lie would remand the prisoner. THAMES. A BAD Frr.--Henry Radford, a young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a pair of trou sers, a waistcoat, and a 6s. in money, from the ship Mid lothian in the West India Dock. Charles Wilson, a dock constable, saw the prisoner about to leave the dock at the principal gate with a pair of trou sers and a waistcoat upon him which did not at all corres pond with his coat in age and seediness. Wilson demanded of the prisoner where he obtained the trousers and waist coat, to which he replied that his father, a foreman tailor, made them. " Then," said the officer, "he has made a very bad fit, and I shall detain you." He soon ascertained the clothes belonged to John Ward, a sailor on board the barque Midlothian. They were £3 in gold and 6s. in silver in the waistcoat pocket. The inonty was recovered. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON P OLICE - CONSTABLEB.—George Care, aged 21, and Joseph Mills, 23, labourers, were charged with violently assaulting several persons. The prisoners, two idle, ruffianly fellows, who frequent public-houses and beer shops to drink other men's liquor and bully them, and also to rob them if there is an oppor tunity, were in a public-house in the Old Manor-road, opposite Stepney Church-yard. They made a disturb ance there and were ordered to withdraw. They refused to do so, and Care kicked the landlord, John Prince, on the low part of his person, and both prisoners severely beat a man named Thompson, who merely said, " Why don't you go out." The police were called, and before the prisoners werelsecured they severely bruised and _maltreated two constables named Bullock and Smith, Mr. Partridge sentenced Mills to two months' imprison ment, and Care to three months' imprisonment, both with hard labour. There is a chicken in Dartford, Winconsin, with three pairs of wings. One pair is placed where they be long ; the second pair are attached to the legs at the joints, and are as large as the first ; the third are attached to the feet. The chicken is about two months old, and as large as others of the same hreed.—New - York-Tribune, - Suspected. Murder in Lincolnshire. An inquest was opened at Chapel-hill on Tuesday morning last, before Mr. Clegg, on the body of Edward Longthorne, aged 24 years. Deceased was a young man well known in the neighbourhood as the driver of the market packet between Chapel-hill and Boston. On Sun day evening a party of gentlemen wished to proceed from Tattershall-bridge to Boston, in order, it was understood, to take the train for Louth, and a bargain was struck with the deceased to harness his horse and haul the boat down the river to the Grand Sluice. The party arrived in Boston somewhere about 9 o'clock, and deceased was seen by several persons returning home alone. Beyond Langrick Ferry he was seen about 10 o'clock gallopping his horse on the bank towards Chapel-hill. The next morning an alarm was raised, the bores being found on the bank, and also the cap of the deceased. On the river being searched the dead body was very soon discovered, and as -the face was much discoloured a rumour soon spread rapidly that the deceased had been murdered. As the inquiry is not yet concluded we forbear to express any opinion, but the fol lowing evidence taken at tho inquest will afford the fullest particulars as at present known. George Sfothard, parish constable, said— On Monday morning, at 9 o'clock, I accompanied Mr. Geo. Longthorne and Mr. Retch to make search for the deceased, Edward Longthorne, who was reported to be drowned or killed We took a boat and went about a mild and a half from Chapel hill towards Boston. There were many other persons on the bank also looking for any signs of the body. When we got opposite the "round house" I saw him lying at the bottom of the water. He was flat on his back, his arms raised and elbows doubled. We got him into our boat. His left cheekbone and forehead seemed much bruised. Mark Baker—l was going home along the Witham bank last Sunday night about 11 o'clock, when I passed a man who was lying on the ground against the river, opposite the "round-house." He was on his face, as if asleep or drunk. I did not think it my business to speak to him or disturb him. When I got further on towards Chapel-hill, about 100 yards, I saw a horse standing against the gate 'trying to go through. I thought it looked like the packet horse ; it had hauling gears on. I know nothing further. I met no other person on the bank and saw no one. Towards Chapel-hill I could hear loud voices as of people quarrel ling ; the voices appeared to be on Mr. Goose's farm. Joseph Ilolmes—l was at Tattershall-bridge last Sunday evening, when-I heard a party in a boat engage the deceased to haul them to• Boston. I saw them s►art, deceased having put the gears on his horse. About 4 o'clock the next morn ing I started to go to Boston. When I got about a mile and a half-past Chapel-hill I saw a horse standing at one of the gates on the bank. I knew the horse. It belonged to deceased. It had on the hauling gears. It was reined up. One of the hames was broken off by the collar, and the headstall of the bluff was broken in two. I thought that deceased must have gone on the other side the hedge for a certain purpose, and I passed on. Further on I found a hat on the bank. When I got to Langrick Ferry I made inquiry, and a man, whose name I do not know, said that he saw deceased galloping towards Chapel-hill between 9 and 10 o'clock the night before. I then gave the alarm to the friends of deceased. Alfred Barker—l am an engine3r.' On Monday morning I heard that the body of deceased had been found in the river, and I went to examine the spot. Close to where he was found I observed that a horse's foot had slipped from a raised part of the bank, and had ploughed up the sod downwards, as if the horse had fallen. At this spot there was also a quantity of vomited matter, showing that some person had been sick. There were also the footmarks of one person at this spot right down to the water. These footmarks were distinct. There was no sign of scuffling or any struggle having taken place. There were many foot marks of people who had been on the bank that morning, but they were several yards to the right of this particular spot. Charles Blades, surgeon, of Tattershall—l have care fully examined the body of the deceased, assisted by Mr. Pilcher, surgeon, of Boston. The lungs presented all the appearances which death from drowning would occasion. The stomach was distended with fluids having an odour of spirits. We carefully examined the head. There was a bruise on the forehead and left cheek bone. We divided the scalp, and especially examined these bruises. They were very slight and superficial, and could in no way have caused death. I have no doubt that death was caused by drowning. William J. Pilcher, surgeon, of Boston—l have care fully examined the body of the deceased, and made a post mortem examination. The bruise on the forehead and on the cheek-bone was a diffused bruise, and deceased had fallen on a broad flat surface ; not at all the bruise which would be occasioned by a blow from a stick or other weapon. If those bruises had been inflicted by an assault, traces would certainly have been left. A concussion on the fore head from a fall of a horse would cause exactly the sort of bruise we observed. The bruises could not have caused death, or even danger to life. The condition of the lungs, heart, and stomach showed that deceased died from drown ing and suffocation.. By a JUror—He might certainly have been stunned by the violence which caused the bruises, but I cannot say whether he would be so stunned as to be unable to walk. Wm. Petchell—l am father-in-law to deceased. I saw the body taken out of the river. I examined the bank, and saw no signs of any struggle having taken place. The clothes of deceased were in no way disordered. I saw Dr. Blades and constables Stothard and Atkinson examine the pockets of deceased. Ho had not been robbed. His money was right (.£l, ss. 3d). Ido not believe that he was as saulted by any one. Thos. L. Pearce—l am a county constable. I produce a portion of the broken hames of the horse collar, which was found sticking in the ground as if the horse had fallen, and also the whip of the deceased, found on the same spot. I have heard that some Irishmen passed down the bank on Sunday night, but I have ascertained that they turned on to the farmhouse where they were employed, fully a quar ter of a mile before they would have arrived at the spot where the body was found. The Coroner said, before proceeding further, he would take the opinion of the jury on the evidence they had heard. It was proved that deceased, in returning from Boston on Sunday evening, passed Langrick and was seen on horseback galloping towards his residence at Chapel hill.. The slip of the horse's foot on the bank and the broken gear rendered it highly probable that the horse stumbled and came down heavily ; this would fully account for the diffused bruise on the forehead of the deceased, and this view of the case was rendered specially probable by the proof that some person at that particular spot had vomited. Sickness would be a natural result of any concussion to the brain, especially when the stomach was somewhat distended with stimulating liquid. If, after hearing the evidence, the jury were of opinion that de ceased, having fallen from his horse and being partially stunned, had by misadventure got into the river and been drowned, it would be sufficient by their verdict to say that he was "found drowned." If the jury were not satisfied the inquiry must be continued. The court was then cleared, and aftor nearly an hour's deliberation the jury sent for the coroner, and the foreman (Mr. William Stothard)said—" We are unanimously agreed that we believe he was first assaulted, and then thrown into the river." The Coroner—That is murder. On what portion of the evidence do you found your opinion ? The Foreman—That is our unanimous opinion. The Cdroner—Then in order that Superintendent Man ton and his constables may make every possible further inquiry, this inquiry stands adjourned until this day week, at half-past nine o'clock. The jury were then bound over to appear to their re cognizances. The excitement in the district of Chapel-hill is very groat. The opinion seems to be general either that the unfortunate young' man was assaulted by a number of Irish harvestmen, or that he was found insensible on the bank, and by them thrown into the river. The police warn all Irishinen not to appear in the parish for the pre , sent. Mercury. • STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Aug. have again a quiet demand for export y arns , an d t o e ff ec t sales a trifle less has to be accepted. The market for these goods is not worse than it was on Tuesday, and scme orders of rather fair amount have been given out in yarns suitable for India. In home-trade yarns we have had a very quiet market, with prices slightly in favour of buyers since Tuesday. A number of mills are stopping, and short time is increasing both in spindles and looms. For cloth this has been a flat day. There is no regular demand whatever. The only business obtainable is at very low prices, and the offers are confined to very few houses. Business can only be done at all in the better kinds of skirtings, as far as Indian goods are concerned, and transactions of any kind are exceedingly small. Even the sellers of printing cloths, who have of late been about the most active of any houses in the cloth trade, complain that their demand is decidedly less. Quotations remain the same as on Tuesday. Norrimuum, 4th.—The attendance at our Ex change-hall to-day was small, and the demand for lace yarns was quiet, at late prices. Buyers hold off making purchases, in the expectation that a further decline will take place. Hosiery yarns had a dull sale, at prices tending downwards. China and Bengal silks lower Italian silks unaltered. Spun silks quite as dear: Brown nets not mate rially changed. THE SUPPOSED FATAL ACCIDENT TO FIVE YOUNG MEN.— Nothing has transpired to throw any light on the fate of the five young gentlemen who left RiugsencLin a boat on Monday evening. A rumour was current through town yesterday to, tho effect that a portion of the boat had beep washed ashpra between Pnlkey ankKingston, but we believe such to be without foundation.—b•i. The National Artillery Association. The first annual prize Meeting of the association was brought to a close yesterday by the shooting for a prize, value 150, presented by his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales. This was fired for under precisely similar circumstances as those which ruled the previous competitions--namely, that each com peting detachment should, fire five rounds—three at 1,250 and two at 1,500 yards, each shot alter nately, so as to necessitate pointing the gun in a different dire c ti on each time, and causing as well a change of elevation. The competitors were the Ist C Cinque Ports, the Ist A Cinque Ports, three detachments of the Ist Middlesex, two detachments of the 4th Cinque Ports, the 2d Mid dlesex, the 4th West York (Sheffield), the 3d Dur ham,.the 2d Cinque Ports; and two detachments of the Ist Kent. The third detachment of the Ist Middlesex fired with the 18-pounder, and the Ist Kent held to the 68, the remainder keeping to the 32. The highest scores made were :—The Ist de tachment of the Ist Middlesex, 21 in 7 min. 1 s e c. ; the 2d detachment of the Ist Kent also 24.; the 4th West York, 23 in 6 min. 10 sec. ; and the 3d Dur ham and 2d Middlesex, each 22d. The Ist Mid.. dlesex men were then called upon to fire off the tie, and it was found that they had left the range, not estimating that their score stood any chance. When they were found they were brought up at the double, and, as may well be imagined, were not able to make good practice. The Ist Kent got the range at the first shot, and were declared the win ners of the prize. In the morning the Volunteers were permitted to see the Royal Artillery practice with the Armstrong guns, and the capabilities of this arm of precision in the hands of skilled men were proved in a very short time. The 40-pounder Armstrong was first practised at a small target at 3,000 yards, and even the sighting shots were so close to the target that they would have obtained the maximum number of points for direction and elevation. Mortar practice and some shooting with the 100-pounder Armstrong at the long sea ranges also served to show the younger service the strides which were being taken in gunnery, and the Volun teers left the range with increased respect for the rifled gun, and with something like the feeling for the smooth-bore which the Rigby riflemen would have for the discarded Brown Bess. The officers of the Royal Artillery expressed the highest opi nion of the manner in which the Volunteers had handled their guns. The only fault found by Col. Fisher, whose position as an instructor of the Royal Artillery gave great weight to his words, was that in general the No. 1 of the detachments appeared too anxious and assisted too much in the manual labour of skifting the gun, when (he said) all their attention should be directed to laying the gun properly, to accomplish which task they must be free from excitement. He appreciated the general smartness of the men, and he more than once highly praised detachments for their efficiency—a praise which was no small consolation to men who had not won a prize. The sergeants of the Royal Artillery invited their equals in rank among the volunteers to mess with them, and a most cordial feeling has sprung up between the two services. The members of the Ist Middlesex Artillery, in appreciation of the kindness shown them in this way, and also in in structing them in the Armstrong gun drill, last evening presented the sergeants' mess of the Royal Artillery with a large and handsome silver cup, as a memento of the meeting. As has been before noticed, the commissariat department was an utter failure, owing perhaps to too much trust being placed on the powers of Shoebury. In other re spects there would have been much wanting had not the council of the association, under the presi dency of Col. Harcourt, shown great energy in dealing with unlooked-for difficulties, and Col. Will matt, the commandant, been exceedingly kind in offering facilities for the encampment being formed. The association had struggled through an exceed ingly rough time in many respects during this last fortnight, and it may reasonably expect that official recognition will be given to artillery prize firing on a more extended scale, and with weapons of modern use. Last evening the Marquis of Hartington was entertained at "Shoeburyness by the officers of the Royal Artillery, and the volunteer officers in camp were invited to meet his lordship. A concert was held in the larpe artillery drill shed, where the band of the Royal Artillery, which came from Woolwich fOr the occasion, played a variety of selections. Among the members of the council present, besides Col. Harcourt, were Viscount Hardinge, Col. Glad dish, Major Inner, and Capt. Rutley. City Baths, Laundries, &J. A circular, dated July 27, and signed by Lord Shaftesbury and Messrs. A. Lusk, J. Abbiss, R. Taylor (of the Lambeth Baths and Washouses), E. Horner, Robert Baxter (of the firm of Baxter, Rose, and Norton), T. B. Smithies, R. Smith, and J. Lilwall (hon. sec. pro tem.), was recently issued, re questing the attendance of those who might be in terested in the public opening of a fine stack, of buildings, under the above designation, which have been erected through the enterprise of Mr. A. J. Vieweg, a Wood-street warehouseman, in Golden lane, Barbican, one of the lowest and most neglected districts in London, where they promise to prove a great moral and social blessing. The history of the undertaking is, in brief, this :—Mr. Vieweg, of whose generosity and single-mindedness there can be no doubt, originally set to work to carry out, as he thought, an outlay of £20,000, his idea of com bining for the first time under one roof all the re quirements of decency, respectability, and moral and physical wellbeing. But he found he had spent nearly £40,000. He seeks no profit whatever for this large outlay. But many of his influential friends thinking that he should be at least reimbursed for the great excess of actual expenditure over what he felt able and willing to incur at the outset, have come forward with the project of a limited liability com pany for the completion and carrying out of his views. Mr. Vieweg takes £14,000, in any case, in shares. Out of any further moneys, w hether taken in shares or debentures, he is to be paid cash up to £lO,OOO. But, if no shares or debentures are taken, he is to take the £lO,OOO in debentures. We give a short description of the building. It cost £40,000, covering an area of 11,000 ft. The architect is Mr. Charles Martin, C.E., of Leadenhall-street. The exterior style of the structure approaches nearer to the Italian than any other style of architec ture, and it is of rusticated brickwork. But use, and not adornment, was chiefly kept in 'mind in designing it, and it-appears to be speci ally adapted to the requirements of the class of people for whom it was intended. Thebuildings con sist of a basement, ground, and four other floors. On the basement there are two large tepid swimming baths, first and second class, wherein the working man can have th e rea l l uxury of a sw i m a f ter hi s day's toil. Here, also, is a large laundry, worked by steam machinery, and containing 80 washing compartments, with every convenience for drying, mangling, and so forth. These, as likewise all the other parts of the edifice, are thoroughly ventilated. On the ground floor there is the dining-hall, 70ft. by 30ft. This is a light and airy room. It is meant to be conducted on the Glasgow principle. The kitchens, too, are here ; when completed they will be fitted with all modern applicances. There are on this floor also 100 private baths, first and second class. They are of porcelain, in one ,piece, as de signed by the late Prince Consort, and are supplied by Mr. Finch, of Adam-street, Adelphi. We may state here that the looking-glass frames and other toilet fittings in the bathrooms are all of porcelain, and also supplied by Mr. Finch, as aro the glazed bricks with which the swimming-baths are lined. Above arc four floors, consisting of tenements for families of two rooms each, varying from 15fe. to 16ft. square. These are approached by several flights of flreprOoi staircases leading frOm the street. The roof consists of a series of extensive flats for purposes of recreation. A portion of the building has been set apart for a spacious chapel and school, capable of seating GOO or 700 persons. The water is supplied from a well sunk into the chalk under the premises, some 300 feet deep, and worked by a powerful steam-engine. Among the company which met yesterday were tho Hon. A. Kiunaird, M.P., -Mr. J. S. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. Hubbard, M.P., Drs. _Marsh. and Smith, Messrs. Simes, Jowatt, R. Taylor, and Erasmus Wilson. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LEWES RACES.—Tuts DAY.
