ITONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is less activity, and comparatively little aPPrehension . now prevails as to future results in th• money market. Floating capital also is more abun dant, and bills are more scarce, which tend to allay much of the fear previously existing as to a further advance in the official minimum. The rates for accommodation are also less onerous, and brokers are evi ncing a desire t o secure s hort dated paper at and 7i per cent. The settlement in Consols yesterday occasioned harry' large d emand for money in the Stock Ex ge, and loans from day to day were charged 6 an d 6 1 per cent. To-day, however, the terms aro easier.

This was a second bankruptcy, the bankrupt being do scribed as a clerk in holy orders, of Leigh, formerly of Hammersmith and Foltham. No accounts have been filed, and the case was adjourned until the proceedings under the first bankruptcy shall have been disposed of. were brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and disorderly last night in the York-road, Rateßif. They were also charged with being concerned with others in assaulting and robbing Captain John Harkness, master of a merchant ship, and now dwelling at 25, Bromley-street, Stepney. He appeared to be injured, and there was a serious bruise over his left eye. Ho said that he was pass ing along the York-road, close to the North London Rail way, last night at eleven o'clock, when two men and the female " baulked" him. They all " run aboard of him at once," and one man jumped on his back. Another hit him on the head with a piece of wood or some other instrument. His eye was terribly swollen last night, and it had gone down since. His pocket-book was taken. It contained £1 10s. in gold, and ss. in silver. His gold chain, an old one for which ho gave £ll 10s., and which ho now valued at £9, was detached from his ,vatch and stolen. He was much ill-used. He made as much noise as he could, and informed a policeman of the robbery. He drank considerably last night, but he was sure the prisoner Francis was ono of the thieves. In answer to questions by the woman, the prosecutor said he was in a beershop, and saw her before the robbery. Ile was followed out of the beershop and robbed. Other evidence was given implicating the woman in tho outrage and robbery. She was remanded until Monday. Began was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment for being, drunk and disorderly. Great-Western Railway of Canada. MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held at London Tavern to-day—Alderman and Sheriff Dakin, the president, in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, already published, which was agreed to. He thou said that ho was glad to be able to con gratulate the shareholders on the gleam of sunshine that had broken through the circumstances which once indi cated storm and disaster. He thought the directors were ec titled to much praise for their exertions, by which the undertaking was enabled to surmount the disasters to which he alluded. He considered the report showed, as far as possible, the progress of the affairs of the company. Their receipts on capital account during the half-year amounted to £674 Os. 10d., and the total receipts up to July 31st were £5,116,349, and deducting the disbursements there was a balance to the credit of the company on capital account of £26,982 18s. 2d. There had been an increase in tho expenditure as compared with the corresponding period of last year, but the expenses which they incurred were rendered unavoidable by their position. They had to provide accommodation by an extension of their station, both for passengers and goods traffic, at the important city of Toronto, from which their station was two miles distant, and they were also compelled to incur an outlay for a new station, and also for works which were indispensable. The expenses of the half-year warranted the directors in not recommending a dividend of more than 2 per cent. ; but on the improving aspect of their affairs there was every reason to believe that before long that dividend would be considerably increased. (Hear.) A valuable arrangement had been effected, by which the loss sustained in the conversion of their American funds would, for the future, be avoided. The decrease which had taken place in their traffic arose from exceptional causes, namely, the severity of the weather during the winter season, the stoppages on American connecting lines, and the impediments in the way of traffic by the adoption of the passport system. How ever, the improving prospects of business generally afforded ground for hoping that there would be a corre sponding improvement in their receipts, to which hope the abundant harvest in Canada in no small degree contributed. A satisfactory arrangement had been made with the pro vincial Government relative to the postal service, which would continuo in operation for four years. The appeal of the Commercial Bank of Canada, which was argued before the Judicial Committee, had been dismissed with costs, but there were certain points, sub judice, which were still to be considered. Very encouraging informa tion had been received with respect to the oil districts of Bothwell and Enniskillen, which were situated on the company's line, and American and other capitalists were making large purchases of land and sinking new wells, in consequence of the improvement in regard to so impor tant an article of commerce as oil. (Hear, hear.) The chairman concluded by referring to the satisfactory footing of the relations of the company with the American con necting railways. After some discussion a resolution was agreed to, sanc tioning a proposed arrangement between the company and the Atlantic, Great Western (Buffalo) Extension, and the Erio and Niagara Railway Companies. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and board of directors.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. —Nearly the whole of last sitting was taken up with papers on cholera, and we are happy to state that the communica tions are in general aro of a nature to deprive tho epidemic of all its real terrors. It is now proved beyond a doubt, from facts collected throughout Europe : 1. That Asiatic cholera is in all well-authenticated cases pre ceded by premonitory symptoms. 2. That these symptoms may be removed with the greatest ease, and with the certainty that, once removed, the dangerous period need not bo feared. 3. That a wholesome strengthening diet, and the commonest attention to the state of the general health of the individual, will prevent the occurrence of any alarming symptoms ; and 4. That ignorance and imprudence, habitual neglect of cleanliness, and unhealthy dwellings, are the only causes of fatal cases, oothffta the painspheoi.s short, choler a i s a di sease m uch less to be dreaded than typhus fever and o th er ep id e mics by which we aro unconsciouslysurrounded.presente d to the A c From adem t y h general we wil ln s o u N p i summa n r a o r ceed to a few particulars. Dr. Pietra-Santa states that in the course of the period beginning with the Ist of September, 1853, and ending on the Ist of October, 1854, out of 2,186 inmates of the prison to the Madelonnettes, situated in a very bad quarter, only 517 experienced premonitory symptoms, and ont of these only 12 were attacked with real cholera. Of these 12, eight were cured. Ile adds that the rep. its of Dr. Blondel, Inspector-General of Public Assistance, show that out of 4,740 cases registered in that year, 4,359 were preceded by premonitory symptoms; that in the other 381 cases the question of premonitory symp toms was not properly sifted, so that nothing certain could be known about them ; and that the efficacy of a preventive cure is the only point on which all the r is r .i,ifins of the Paris hospitals aro agreed. All the numerous observations coliectea In Engia.a, Fran,.., and Italy, tend to confirm this view. Dr. Jules Guerin, in a second paper on the same subject, expresses himself as follows:—" I have long persisted in pointing out the prac tical advantages resulting from the existence of a premo nitory stage, during which a disease that, in an advanced stage, bids defiance to all remedies, may be mastered. Stop diarrhea; I have said, and you stop cholera. That is suf ficiently precise, but not sufficiently known. I regret to say that physicians are still seeking the specific which is to revive a dead body, instead of making known the period during which the disorder may be cured. But what science crtunot do with the limited moans of publicity at its dis posal, the Administration can." Here the writer enters upon the excellent English system of house-to-house visi tation, whereby, out of 130,000 persons treated in the 15 principa • l cities of Engl and, onl y 6,000 narrowly escapad real cholera, and only 250 actually got it ; and then con cludes with announciug authoritatively that the Adminis tration f system of effectual pre ventive epidemic invade the capital time. Dr. Mourin, Secretary generalo Franco measures organised has f t fo h erthe Statisticalshould complete Society the of Marseilles, in a paper on this year's invasion of cholera in that city, calls it a pseudo-epidemic, the disease coming on slowly, and rather itioling to malignant or typhus fever. Tho prophylactic or preventive treatment succeeded perfectly there. Poverty, fatigue, and weakness were the predisposing elements in all the cases observed. Opiates were found very useful, but diluted with a little water, because much drink causes irritation. To all this overwhelming mass of evidence in f avour of the existence of premonitory symptoms, another contributor, a Dr. Pellarin, opposes a flat denial of the fact, supporting his assertion by a sort of scientific quibble. Ile says that diarrhma cannot be con sidered premonitory, because no one can foresee whether it will degenerate into cholera or not. We need not point out the utter puerility of this argument. Capt. F. Scott, C. 8., A.D.C. to the Queen, Flag- Capt. to the Port Admiral and Naval Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., resumed the command of her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Sa.turcay on return from leave of absence. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY. THE CESAREWITCU. Rarely has there been such an uninteresting event as the first of the great autumn handicaps appeared on paper to be. The Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire of old 30 years ago—boasted such horses as Faugh-a-Ballagh, The Baron, Lanercost, Alarm, and many others of almost equal fame among the roll of competitors. Lately there has b3en a sad falling off in quality, and this year the acceptances for the first-named race, commencing with Dr. Syntax and terminating with Morris Dancer and Le Papillon, showed nothing but what was second-rate in form. We presume that it is much more difficult to handicap mediocre horses than good ones, and to this cause must be assigned the bad acceptance in a numerical point of view. Salpinctes and Alabama have kept their position as first and second favourites, the former with great firmness. Rumours of a trial with Privateer yesterday somewhat affected Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, and the former, who from the combined causes of his owner's health and the hard ground had retrograded in the betting, came again with some force during the afternoon. Mr. Savile we were happy to see on the heath, and the welcome rain had removed the other obstacles to his starting. The Danebury stable has had so many irons in the fire that the public have been rather diffident in its selection. Lansdown, at the first ap pearance of the handicap, was mentioned as a good thing, but he speedily went back into obscurity. Yesterday John Davis was the horse ; this morning it was Gomera, or rather last night that a furors set in about Colonel Baillie's mare, which ended in her being nearly ac good a favourite as Salpinctes. Zephyr has been strongly supported, and at the eleventh hour the Oaks winner has thrown a little "quality" into the affair by being announced as a starter. The rain has done much towards increasing the field, which but for it might have been smaller. As it was, 27 runners were telegraphed, and after a comparatively short delay despatched to one of the most level starts ever seen. But little-opportunity is afforded at Newmarket for that " stock-taking" so interesting to all sportsmen. Saddled, some at the Stand, others at the Ditch, it would require the fleetest of hacks and the sharpest of eyes to see them all. They, doubtless, looked in splendid condition, as horses prepared for a great ovent would naturally be, and as they came through the gap and ascended the rise the old comparison of a charge of cavalry might well have been applied. On they came, but in the Abingdon Mile bottom the bolt of many was shot, and the yellow jacket and scarlet belt of Salpinctes was seen in the van, going well. Gratitude, the second last year, was pressing him hard, but little Scorey rode with a clear head, and, although much exhausted, landed his horse in by a head. John Davis proved himself a very good animal by getting third place under the weight he carried. Hardly so many people were present as we have remem bered, but still the scene partook of the usual Cesarewitch features. Prince Amadeus, attended by the Marquis d'Azeglio and his suite, was on the Jockey Club Stand, which was crowdad with the usual aristocratic habituis of New market. The weather was delightful.

Precisely at the time sot down the 27 riders were ex hibited on the telegraph, and shortly after they reached the starter, who at the first attempt effected an excellent start. After they had taken their places the running was taken up by Endsleigh, who, with Ostregor, Privateer, Duel,foot, Quiaaoli4, and mei.y body, came on slightly in advance of Elland, Brown Bread, Morrie Dancer, Gratitude, Alabama, and Salpinctes, and to these succeeded, wide on the loft, Farce, Zephyr, Solon, The Clown, and Vertugadin, and in the extreme rear came John Davis, Pearl Diver, Regalia, Fantail, and Nuneaton. They re tained these positions as they came through the Ditch Gap, but on crossing the flat they became distributed, and ran wide to the Rowley Mile post. Here Ostregor headed Endsleigh, and came on with a clear lead, which he retained to within a couple of hundred yards of the Bushes-hill, where the pair were beaten, and were imme diately headed by Salpinctes, who took his place in the centre of the course, closely attended by Brown Bread, Elland, Gratitude, Merry Wife, and Farce, the latter being wide on their left, and two or three lengths in their rear came the heavy weights, John Davis and Regalia, close in whose track'were Solon, Gement, Buckfoot, Alabama, and Privateer. Half way down the hill Elland was b eaten, followed in a few strides further by Al a b ama and Farce, and when fairly in the Abingdon Mil e b ottom Gratitude and John Davis joined the two leaders ; but as they com menced the ascent for home Brown Bread broke down, and was immediately headed by Gratitude, who half way in the cords got to the favourite's girths, but was never able to quite get up, and was beaten, after a splendid race, by a head ; John Davis finished third, a couple of lengths in their rear ; Brown Bread was fourth, close up with whom was Merry Wife fifth, Farce sixth, and Regalia seventh ; then came Elland, Buckfoot, Alabama, and Privateer, who headed the next lot, in the rear of which were Morris Dancer, Vertugadin, and Count Cavour.

George Price, the historical line engraver, late of 7, Offurd-road, Barnsbury, who was charged with causing the death of his wife Francis Price, by a series of. ill treat ment and bad conduct towards her—the particulars of which were fully reported in our columns on the first and subsequent occasions—was again placed at the bar beforo Mr. Baker for re-examination. The court was crowded to excess, and the Marquis Townsend was accommodated with a seat on the bench beside the magistrate. Mr. Chipperfield, instructed by the Society for the Pro tection of Women and Children, appeared again to pro secute, and Mr. Lewis as before defended the prisoner. Mr. Chipperfield said he proposed to call one witness more in order to complete the case on the part of the pro secution. The witness he proposed to call was one of two who were in attendance on the last day, but who were not examined in consequence of the late hour to which the pro ceedings were protracted. She was a domestic servant tiring near to the deceased, and had been frequently sent in by her mistress, Mrs. Indermaur, with refreshments. He would adhere to the rule his worship had laid down, and limit the evidence to within a fortnight or three weeks before death. Mary Murphy said she was servant to Mrs. Indermaur, of 9, Offord-road, Barnsbury. She knew the deceased, and was often in her house with food, and that continued up to Mrs. Price's death. She was in the house sometimes three times a week. When she took in the food the prisoner used to answer the door, and she asked if she could see Mrs. Price. Ho used to say his wife was lying down, and she could not see her then. He used to take the food, but Mrs. Price told her about four times in his presence that he had not given her the food she had taken. Within about three weeks of the death of the deceased, she was in Mrs. Price's room. She had asked if she could go in to get the room ready for the doctor. A short time afterwards the prisoner went into the room stupidly drunk, and threw himself across the deceased, and she asked her to take him off. She (witness) said, " You are not inclined to smother the lady on her dying bed," and he said, "Yes, I am." She re membered seeing the prisoner doing something to the de ceased in the mouth. Cross-examined—On the occasion she spoke of he was stupidly drunk. During the three years and nine months that she had lived opposite to the deceased she had never seen him sober three months together ; in fact, she had never seen him sober three days together. Mr. Chipperfield said that was the case for the prosecu tion, and on the evidence adduced he had to ask the magis ti ate to send the case for trial. Mr. Lewis, for the defence, said it had been laid down over and over again by the authorities that the intent must depend on the state of mind of the accused at the time the act imputed was committed, and he submitted that if the prisoner was stupidly drunk, as the witness had sworn, he could not have had the intent which was now charged against him. But, apart from this isolated case of alleged ill-treatment, there were three points which the learned magistrate would have to consider, whether the deceased died from natural causes ; secondly, whether death was accelerated by ill treatment ; and lastly, whether the pri soner, by his acts, had caused that acceleration of the death of his wife. The learned gentleman then contended that it was shown by the witnesses for the prosecution that they. supplied the deceased with food, &c., out of their own re sources, and that therefore she could not have died from starvation. The supposition of ill-treatment by the prisoner was, he argued, negatived by the fact that he called upon lir. Gowland in March last and entreated him to visit the deceased as a medical man at her own home. The prisoner also requested his neighbour, Mrs. Sellers, to visit the suf ferer, and that invitation had been accepted. Was that the conduct of a man who sought to accomplish the death of his wife by a course of ill-treatment and cruelty ? Much had been introduced into the case to create a feeling of prejudice, but it could not be forgotten that the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of "death from natural causes." Mr. Barker observed that with the finding of the corn. ner's jury he had nothing whatever to do. Ho had simply to act upon the sworn evidence which had been adduced before him. In conclusion, Mr. Lewis maintained that the medical evidence would not justify the committal of the prisoner. _ _ _ Mr. Joseph Turner, whom Mr. Lewis then called, said —I reside at King-street, Soho, and am a hatter. The prisoner's wife was my sister. I have a brother named Charles William. The last two or throe months I have seen my sister two or three times a week, and within eight days I saw her four or fire times. 1 will not say I saw her every week, but I saw her oftener than any one else. On those occasions she was confined to her bed. I have sent her food. The prisoner has been present on nearly every occasion when I have visited my sister. Whenever he has been present my sister has never complained to me of insufficiency of food. During the time I have been present I have never seen him unkind. He was generally kissing her, and saying "My dear wife." The only thing I ever saw unpleasant was when the prisoner attempted to kiss his wife when he was in liquor. 1 took him away, because my sister told me to do so. When I have been present my sister has had food. On one occasion I saw him take a plate of food to her, and heard her tell him to take it to the children ; but I do not know who sent it. The deceased died on a Tuesday, and I was with her on the Monday, the day before she died, and the Tuesday pre ceding her death, as well as the Sunday preceding the Tues day. I did not see her with food on either of those three days I have mentioned. The week previous to her death I took her some brandy, and my wife gave her some of it. I placed the bottle at the top of the bed, and the nurse took it off the drawers and said, " Don't let him see it." She placed it at the foot of the bed, and there were three other bottles there, under the clothes, all containing a red liquid. On that occasion I was there, I think, between two and three hours. Whilst I was there no wine came in from other parties. Cross-examined by Mr. Chipperfield—l have been friends with the prisoner since he came from America. Whilst he has been in the Offord-road I have occasionally been out with the prisoner, and I may have had a glass with him. Within the past two or three months he has been frequently the worse for liquor, and has bean more excited. He has been worse fiinco my brother locked him up in Whitecross street for money for the food and clothes he supplied to my sister. I was at the prisoner's house on the night before my sister died. The prisoner was rationally drunk, if you could call it so. I should not say that he was positively drunk, but ho was the worse for liqu or. His wife did not complain before me of his making a noise. Mr. Lynch asked me to go out with him to the tavern at the corner, and whilst there the prisoner came in. A quarrel took place between Mr. Lynch and the prisoner about the pri soner wanting to drink out of Mr. Lynch's pot. Ho was drunk, and leaning over her bed, and I took him away. Mrs. Elizabeth Isabella Turner said—l am the wife of tho last witness. I was in the habit of going to the house of the prisomw to visit his wife. I was there on the 15th of August previous to her death. Sh e sa id she should like a little brandy, and i t was given to her.

Cross-examined by Mr. Chipporfleld—l was there on the 15th of August, and had previously seen her at the end of May. Mr. Lewis said that was his case. Mr. Barker said ho had heard nothing to induce him to alter his intention of sending the case for trial. He then fully committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial on the charge of manslaughter. Mr. Lewis —Will you take bail ? Mr. Barker peremptorily refused to admit the prisoner to bail. The prisoner, who seemed rather chapfalleu at the deci sion, was then removed. RAILWAY PROGRESS IN INDIA.—A marvellous illustration of the progress now taking place in India is supplied by the railway btatis ties. The annual official holiday, known as the Doorga, Pooja, begins on the 25th of September, and lasts about a fortnight. On the 15th of August the great Junina.-bridge, near Allahabad, w as opened to the through traffic, reducing the delay between Calcutta and Delhi by two hours. Tho East India Rail way Company offered holidaymakers return tickets avail able for three weeks between the two capitals—English and Mussulman—for £7 second, and £l2 first-class, and each may take two servants at 2s. a head, besides lug gage. The distance both wayB is 2,040 miles ! More over, the superstitious llindoo is tempted to visit his holy kasi, Benaros, by the offer of a third-class ticket for £1 45., a distance both ways of 1,081 miles.

The claims on the file amount to £12,000, but the case was adjourned for further accounts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF EMBEzzLEMENT.—A respectable-looking man, named William Bushell, was placed at the bar this morning before the Lord Mayor, having a warrant charged with having embezzled a considerable amount received by him on account of his employer, Mr. Charles Luton, a straw-hat and bonnet manufacturer at Luton. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared to prosecute. On opening the case he said the prosecutor was a straw-bonnet manufac turer, having an extensive business at Luton Marshes ; however, to extend his business ho took an office in Milk-street, Cheapside, and gave the prisoner the entire management of the business at that office. Not wishing it to be known that he was doing anything in the retail trade, Mr. Jones told the prisoner he did not wish the business to be carried on in his name, and the prisoner suggested that his name should be put up. Thereupon an agreement was drawn, which, Mr. Lewis said, could leave no doubt that the prisoner was only a servant in Mr. Jones's employment. The agreement specially stated that Mr. Bushell was to hold the position of manager at Mr. Jones's London office, and that the business was to be carried on in his name, and he was to receive half the net profits, and was not to bear any of the losses in the business. From what Mr. Jones heard he came to London in May last and discharged the prisoner. Since that time he had been investigating the prisoner's account, and the result was that he had found the prisoner had received several sums of money for which he had not accounted. Besides the charge of embezzlement, there was also a charge of forgery, into which Mr. Lewis said he should not then proceed ; but it appeared that Mr. Jones was in May last sued upon a bill which was mixed up with those which passed through the Birmingham Banking Company, and in which Taylor and Kelley were con cerned. The payment of several sums, amounting to about £BO, was proved, which Mr. Jones said had not been accounted for, and the prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. Mary Ann Cartwright, alias Atkins, was placed at the bar before Mr. Vaughan, on remand, charged with stealing a pair of gold earrings, the property of Mrs. Syphoid, the wife of a oompositor. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, who wished to withdraw the charge, it appeared she met the prisoner in company with a friend of hers a few days ago, and after a short conversation it was proposed to go and have some thing to drink. They went to the Wellington Tavern, and there she (prosecutrix) spent a shilling, but afterwards she went to a pawnbroker and pledged ono of her rings to stand treat with. They then went to the Old Drury public house, and had some more drink, and then they all returned to the Wellington. While they were drinking at the bar tho prisoner admired her (prisoner's) gold earrings, and took one of them out of her ears to look at it. It seemed to please her very much, and in a short time after she came round to the other side and removed the other. While she was attempting to replace a pair of jet earrings for the gold ones she had taken out, she did it in a very bungling manner, and at length she (prosecutrix) was induced to put up her hand to her ear, and then she found the pri soner was trying to substitute her comparatively valueless articles for her expensive ones. She demanded her earrings back, but prisoner said she had not got them. A constable was called, and the prisoner was given into custody ; and while she was being conveyed to the station, she was seen to put something in her mouth and swallow it. Constable M'Gloin said he took the prisoner into cus tody. While she was being taken to the station he saw her swallow something, and when they were in the charge room, prisoner again placed something in her mouth, and, with a great effort, swallowed it. On looking at her mouth it was found to be bleeding. Jane Butler said she saw the prisoner doing something to the prosecutor's ears. She could not say whether she took out her gold earrings. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said they were all out drinking, and the prosecutrix took out her earrings, after they had been together for some time, and said she would pledge them to get money to finish the day with. She (prisoner) objected to such a thing, and the articles were afterwards wrapped up in her handkerchief and after that she never saw the things any more. She asked some questions of the prosecutrix, who, in replying, said she was so overcome with liquor that she could net deny anything that was attributed to her. She might have done as pri soner said she did, but she had no recollection. She said drink made her quite unconscious. Mr. Vaughan committna the prisoner for trial, and the witnesses were all bound over to give evidence at the sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING AN HOTELKEEPER.—AIexander Sarre, a waiter in the employ of Mr. Giovanni Chiles, hotelkeeper, (the Cape do L'Etoile), Great Windmill-street, was charged bsfors Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the sum of £8 65., the moneys of his master. Mr. Charles Albert interpreted. Mr. Ciales said—The prisoner is a waiter in my house, and I have suspected him of robbing me. In consequence of what my wife told me at one o'clock this morning, I asked the prisoner to let me see his box, first asking him if he had any money in it, and receiving an answer in the negative. I then looked in his book and found £8 in gold, some shillings and coppers. I asked the prisoner where he got the money from, and he said he had earned it. I then accused him of stealing it from me, and he said it was not true. I then sent for a constable, and he searched the prisoner's boxes, but found no more money. Afterwards ono of my waiters found a portmonnaie containing about £8 under the flooring of ono of the rooms. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long has the prisoner been in your employ, and what wages did he receive ? He has been with me two months and received 10s. a week wages. He afterwards said he had taken the money and begged to bo forgiven. The first £8 was found in the prisoner's box, the second £8 under the flooring of the waiter's dressing-room. Mrs. Ciales—Last night I took up a bowl containing .£l6 odd and put it in a chest of drawers outside my bed room. This evening my husband asked me for some money, and on going to the bowl I missed about half the money from the bowl. I had seen the prisoner leave where the bowl was after I placed it there. I put the bowl there because I did not think any ono would rob me. I have placed the bowl there before and missed money from it, and I suspected tho prisoner. Ernest Adler, a naiter in Mr. Ciales' employ, proved finding the portmonnaie containing money under the flooring of the waiters' dressing-room. Sergeant Leech, 14 C—l was called to Mr. Ciales', and on the purse taken from the prisoner's box being shown to the prisoner, he said it was his, and that he had received the money partly from his late employer and partly from Mr. Ciales. I searched the prisoner's boxes, and found in them a quantity of new clothing. Subsequently the waiter Adler found under the flooring a portmonnaie, containing £B. The prisoner said the purse belonged to him, but that the money was his master's. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has the prosecutor missed money before ? Mr. Ciales—l have. The prisoner, who put no questions to the witnesses, said, after being cautioned—l have admitted taking the money ; what more can I say ? He was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT BY A SOLDIER.—Wm. Walker, a private in the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. White, landlord of the Throe Tuns, Broadway, Westminster. Mr. White said that last night, about a quarter past ten, the prisoner and two other soldiers came into the house ; they had nothing to drink. Two very respectable men same in and called for something to drink. The prisoner took the glass up off the counter, with their liquor in it, and was going to drink. Witness and the two men inter fered, and took the glass away from him ; upon which ho drew a bolt that he had secreted somewhere, and struck witness a violent blow over the counter across the head with it, inflicting a wound upwards of an inch long, and causing it to bleed profusely.

He was described as a carpenter, of Hastings, in the county of Sussex. Mr Paget asked the prisoner, who was well dressed, arid apparently in comfortable circutustances,how he came to bo placed in such a disgraceful position ? The prisoner, who was shivering, put on a quaint ex pression, and in a voice of childish treble said, " I was in the rain last night and was very wet. I met with some friends also from Hastings, and they said as you are wet without you may as well be wet within, and I drank with them." Mr. Paget—You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.-CAISTOR, NORFOLK, Oct. 7.—About half-past 7 o'clock on Wednesday even ing last (reports the Rev. G. W. Steward) signal lights of distress were seen off the Scroby Sand, while the wind was blowing from the S.E. The Caistor lifeboat of the National Institution was at once manned and launched, and taken to the spot indicated by the signal. On arriving there the lifeboat found a brig on the middle of the Scroby Sand, full of water, and with her rudder gone, the sea break. ing over her. After assisting the crew at working the pumps for about an hour or so, the beachmen were forced to leave the vessel, taking with them the crew of 9 men, whom they safely landed at Caistor about half-past 11. The men afterwards proceeded to the Yarmouth Sailors' Home. The next day, the brig being still on the sand, the bcachmen went out again with the lifeboat, the vessel being unap proachable by any other boat. They fortunately succeeded in getting her off and in bringing her into Lowestoft has, bour. She was the brig Harling, of Sunderland, bound from Sunderland to Lowestoft with a cargo of railway sleepers. A BULLOCK AT THE TOP OF A HOUSE.—Yester day (Monday) morning as a bullock, the property of Messrs. Snook and Son, butchers, of Salisbury, was being driven along the Butcher-row it suddenly turned tssqe(uodt time mfr l to y ehere ec several erh stories storingc vo u s house and darted into the house of M Brnoh r ym, . aofrn E utohs . uneei Morris, grocer.

In this dilemma it was proposed to shoot the animal, and a ladder was placed across the house and a gun procured for the purpose, but it was afterwards found that if the first shot should not prove fatal a scene of an alarming nature would ensue, to say nothing of the disagreeable inconveni ence of making a slaughter-house in a store filled with cheese. It was determined, consequently, on second con sideration, to try other means before adopting this last re source. It was next therefore suggested that if the window could be got open the poor brute would in all probability great height. No one, however, jump o u t, ne n em ot e w d it i h n s e t l a in n e d d ing the to run the risk of mounting the ladder and being tossed off aga in in order to raise the s ash, and consequently this had to be accomplished by me ans o f a grapnel let down from th e roof. The bullock, howeY er, when this new mode of egress was opened to him, instead of jumping rig • ht out of the window at once anti breaking its neck in the descent, as was expected, contented itself by forcibly ejecting a large tray and box, by means of its horns, into the street, and putting its head out of the win dow, quietly surveyed the spectators, to the intense amuse ment particularly of the juvenile portion of the assemblage. Another proposition was ultimately made, which proved more successful, and that was to knock a hole through the wall of an adjoining room and to get at him by moans of sticks in that way. This was done, and by a violent effort the bullock, after knocking down and trampling on the cheese, got round and forced his way down stairs again into the street, where he was secured and driven to the slaughterhouse and killed. now TO ESTIMATE THE WEIGHT OF FISH.— " All that is wanted is that the angler should bear in his memory a good specimen of the kind of fish in question as his primary solid. Thus, if a trout of ten inches (extreme length) in an average water weigh /lb., one of twenty inches from the same will weigh 4]bs. (eight times as much) and something more—one of 30 inches, 13/lbs., or 27 times as much. But in a very fattening water like the Thames, a high-conditioned trout of 12 inches might weigh 11b., in which case one of 18 inches, being to the first as the cube of 3 to the cube of 2, would weigh 3lbs. 6oz. at least, and one of 24 inches 81bs."—Fisherman's Magazine.
