The Directors of the Bank of England this morning made a further advance in the rate of dis count of 1 per cent., the current rate being now 7 per cent. The demand for money continues active, and first-class bills can only be negotiated on the above terms. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have not been of a very extensive cha racter. The imports have amounted to about /556,872, chiefly from Australia and New York ; while the exports have been to the extent of £149,081. A new joint-stock undertaking, which is likely to rank amongst the highest of those introduced within the last few years, has been introduced this evening. It is to be called the Merchants' Company, and is formed for the purpose of carrying on the business of merchants, with limited liability ---a system which has undoubtedly proved of the great est benefit wherever it has been adopted in banking and financial undertakings. In the present case the directors, in order to secure a basis on which to commence immediate operations, have succeeded in purchasing the old-established and lucrative business of Messrs. Lane,:llankey, and Co., and they propose to take in other busi nesses of a similar character as favourable oppor tunities occur. The sum agreed to be paid to Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co. for the purchase of their property is £25,000 in debentures, payable one-fifth annually, with 5 per cent. interest, and 2,500 shares, with £l5 each credited as paid thereon, the vendors at the same time guaranteeing a mini mum dividend of 10 per cent, per annum for a period of three years ; and this the firm may well afford to do, as it has been found from an examination of the books by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Co., that for the last six years the annual net profits have averaged £17,816. The capital proposed to be raised is £500,000, but the first issue will be for only half that amount, in 10,000 shares of £25 each, £1 to be paid on application and £4 on allotment. The share list will remain open only until the 12th inst. CL O'OCK. At the Pari s B ourse this mornin Two g, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 77c. ANOTHER ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. Much astonishment has been produced by an ad vance in the Bank rate of discount thiamorning. The pressure upon the establishment was so great thatthe authorities were compelled to make the alteration. The movement has produced considerable excite ment, as it must be remembered that this is the third time that the rate has been raised this week ; it is consequently argued that there must be some very powerful motive. Securities of all description show great heaviness, although the variations have not been considerable. Consols closed at 881, fr for money and the 10th instant, and 88.1 for No vember. Increased depression has prevailed in the Foreign Stock Market. Mexican stock has receded 4 ; do. New, i; Spanish Passive, ; the Certificate, it; and the Italian Loan, I. The operations in the Railway Share Market ha ve been on a very moderate scale, and prices have shown increased dep ress i on consequent upon the advance in the value of money. Great Northern and Metropolitan and Great Northern have each declined 1 ; North Western, I ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, and South-Eastern, each. The Foreign and Colonial lines are also at slightly reduced rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull, and in some instances are a shade flatter. The Discount Companies and private firms have raised their allowance for deposits to 5 per cent. for money at call, 51- for 7 days' notice of withdrawal, and 6 per cent. at 14 days' notice. ---- BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

I'M SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1865 LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. SWEEPSTAKES AND HORSE RACES-FISHER V. COLVIN. This was an application to set aside a verdict of the Court, which had been given in favour of the plaintiff in a recent trial. It appeared that the plaintiff had agreed to join a sweepstake upon the last Derby day race, and the subscription was is. each member. The club was held at defendant's house, each member signing his name. Upon the night of the draw plaintiff was riot able to attend, and it did not appear that he had paid his shilling. It was alleged on his behalf that against his number was drawn the horse Gladiateur which gained the race. On behalf of the plaintiff it was stated that he had tendered his shilling on the morning after the draw, but it was declined, and in the original action he claimed the stakes ; Mr. Steadman, who appeared for him, contending that he was clearly en titled to them. Mr. Earle, for defendant, said that the whole affair was illegal, and that the plaintiff was not in a position to re cover. on one occasion, when all were playing at cards, Locke bad got the bank, and ho said "How long is this game to last. I can tell you I shant' cash any more of your the kee. I could not say who this observation was addressed to. On one occasion I had to wait for Mr. Locke and when I remonstrated with him for keeping me so long, he satd, Hold your tongue; I've been up stairs collaring the coin. I asked who the fellows who stayed were, and he said they were Holloway's clerks, and that they were giving it to him hot. I have spoken to him about the money, and the defendant Locke always led me to be lieve that the clerks were "nailing" old Holloway. Cross-examined—I am a dealer in wine and spirit war rants. My private address is 31, Ashburton-grove, Hollo way. I live in apartments. lam in business on my own account, and have been so for four years. I was formerly traveller to Mander Brothers, of Wolverhampton. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Flower—Then I shall commit both prisoners for trial. OFFICIAL REPORT. THE LOSS OF THE ALEXANDRA (S). To the Lords of the Committee of Privy, Council for Trade. His Honour, however, ruled that the defendant was liable to the plaintiff for the amount of the stakes, the ver dict being for the sum claimed. To-day Mr. Earle moved for leave to set aside this verdict, on the ground that it was against the law upon lotteries and gambling. He urged, with some force, that this sweep stake was no more than a lottery, and, as a result, quite _ . His Honour said that he should bo willing to hear tho case argued on a future day. Mr. Earle replied that he should be quite ready to argue it on any day that the Court might appoint, and would pro duce satisfactory proof that the verdict ought not to stand. His Honour considered f hat the plaintiff ought to have time to answer the objections taken against the decision of this Court in the first trial, and appointed a day for the arguments. Leave granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE S —This Day, BOW-STREET. THE ROBBERY AT PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY'S. This morning the prisoner Utton, lately a clerk in the employ-of Mr. Holloway, .Strand, and who already stands committed for trial, was placed at the bar on a charge of stealing a number of valuable securities, viz., cheques, the property of his master ; and Henry Locke, the landlord of the Holyrood Palace, also appeared in answer to a summons charging him with receiving the said cheques, knowing them to have been stolen. There was also a charge of con spiring with Utton to obtain the property made against the defendant. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, said the defendant Locke, it appeared, kept an account at the Temple-bar branch of the London and Westminster Bank, and ho should call evidence before the Court to show that with the knowledge that the persons employed in Mr. Hol loway's establishment were paid daily, he cashed no less than 13 cheques, amounting in the gross to about £l3O. He should also show that Locke and Utton were in the habit of playing cards after dinner, at blindhookey, for consider able sums of money. When the robbery was discovered Mr. Locke, in answer to Mr. Holloway, the manager of his brother's business, said he had taken them all in the way of business, and the defendant produced a book showing how the various cheques had been cashed for Utton. The entries in the book showed that a portion of the sum for which the cheque was drawn was paid in money, the re mainder in brandy, cigars, &c. Mr. Metcalf appeared for the defendant Locke. Mr. Henry Holloway, brother and manager of the esta blishment of Mr. Thomas Holloway, said—On Sept. 12 I went to Mr. Locke's house in the Strand, and told him that a number of cheques had been stolen from the house, and they had passed through his hands. Ho said a great many had done so, and I asked how many, and he replied from 12 to 20, as near as he could guess, amounting in all be- : ween £l5O to £2OO, and be then produced a small book from which he tore a leaf (produced.) I put it in my pocket. The leaf, he said, would show how he settled the amount of the cheques with Utton. I then asked him if he was not aware that Utton had stolen the cheques, to which he replied that he knew nothing about that, and it was no business of his. I then left the house. Locke said he did not know that Utton received his wages daily, and he said he knew nothing about it, and how Utton got the cheques was no business of his. Mr. Locke the next day attended at my brother's house, and, I showing him the cheques, asked him if he had taken them of Utton, and he said " Yes, with the ex cepttion of two of which he was not certain." The cheques were those I had previously signed for Utton, to be paid away by him to customers. All our clerks are paid daily. Cross-examined by Mr. Metcalf—The cashier, who was on probation, received ss. a day. The prisoner Litton re ceived ss. a day. I appealed to Mr. Locke, as a friend and a neighbour, to give me all the information he could. Ho gave me the leaf out of the book I have referred to. He also took me to his banker's to ascertain whether certain cheques had passed through the bank. The next day Locke came to our house, and I handed him a bundle of cheques, and he selected from it those which had passed through his hand. He did so. In the bundle there was a crossed cheque, upon which there 'yes a direction from the defendant to his banker to pay the amount. Mr. Bower May has acted in this matter for us, but we have changed our solicitor in this matter to Mr. Lewis. I will not swear a clerk of Mr. Bowen May was not present when the defendant Locke and Mr. Stafford were with me in my room. I don't recollect that a person there said to defendant, " I am Bowen May, and unless you pay the money before to-morrow morning you shall be placed in the dock with the other prisoners. I will swear I never heard the expression used. I did not say on that occasion to Locke, "I don't want to give you into custody, all I want is my money." I will swear I did not say so. Ido not know that it is a common practice for publicans to cash crossed cheques. I should think they would not. Mr. Sleigh—ls there any pretence for saying that you have instituted these proceedings because you could not get your money back? Witness—On my oath there is not. While the deposition was being read over, Mr. Holloway said—l now perfectly recollect that Mr. Bowen May's clerk was present on the second occasion that I have re ferred to. Mr. Stafford—l am in the engagement of Mr. Holloway. From directions 1 received from Mr. Holloway on the 13th Sept., I went to defendant Locke's house, ani asked him to come round to Mr. Holloway. I had previously been to Coutts' to get some cheques. Locke was waiting for his necktie, and while it was being got for him he said to me, " This is a bad business." I replied, "It is. How ever did you come to take the cheques from those fellows, knowing their position ?" He said, " What do I care ? Holloway's name was at the foot, and that is quite enough for me. I did it in the way of business, and bring me as many more of the cheques I'll cash them." Cross-examined.—This conversation took place in the defendant Locke's bar parlour. I did not go the public house to get information. I went to the defendant to come to Mr. Holloway's. Oxford Jonathan, a friend of Mr. Locke, was present in Mr. Henry Holloway's room when the conversation took place about the cheques. One of Mr. Bowen May's clerks was present. That person did no; say "I am Mr. Bowen May." I will swear I did not hear Mr. Bowen May's clerk say, " Unless the money is paid by 11 o'clock you will be placed in the dock." The clerk I believe said to Mr. Locke, " I will give you till 11 o'clock to think over this matter." I believe that Mr. Holloway prosecutes this case for the protection of trade, and not because the defendant Locke did not refund the amount of the cheques. I believe Mr. Bowen May's clerk said to defendant, this will be a bad business for you, as you knew the position of Utton, and, as well as I can recollect, Locke replied I don't know so much about that. The clerk said this must be cleared up, and Locke said I don't see what I've got to with it, and then the clerk said I'll give you until 11 o'clock to-morrow. Mr. Metcalf—What for? Witness—l don't know. Mr. Metcalf—Was anything said about being given into custody ? Witness—No. Mr. Locke asked for the address of Mr. Holloway's solicitor, and it was given. The conversation about giving Locke into custody took place down stairs I never heard anything about the repayment of the money before 11 o'clock. I will swear I heard nothing of the kind that could lead to such an inference. I cannot recollect whether Mr. Holloway has said in my hearing that all he wanted was to get his money back. Mr. Metcalf —Yes ; and if he did not, he would giyo Mr. Locke into custody? Witness—.l never heard him say so. Mr. Thomas Hutchings said I am in the employ of Mr. Holloway, and was present at the interview between Mr. Holloway and Mr. Locke. I heard Locke say he had received as many as 12 or 20 cheques from the prisoner, amounting in all to about .£l5O or £2OO. I asked him if he knew whether one of the cheques was drawn in favour of Robinson. I asked him if he knew tho names of the clerks, and he said yes. I asked if ho knew that they were paid daily. He said he cashed the cheques in the way of trade. They bore Holloway's signature, and that was enough for him. The way of business was that he had furnished Utton - with brandy, champagne and boxes of cigars. Mr. Robert Cathpole said, lam dealer in wine and brandy warrants, Old Swan Wharf, City. I have known Mr. Locke for years, and within the last twelvemonths I have seen the prisoner Utten at Mr. Locke's house. I have also seen Spooner and Sellen there. I used to call at the house some times at dinner time as Mr. Locke had an ordinary, and I have seen the prisoners there until after the ordinary. I have seen them playing cards. They generally commenced with the game of 100 and finished with blind hookey. I have seen the three defend ants and Mr. Locke play so frequently that I cannot give the exact number of games played. I don't know the amount of the stakes. I canuot say whether they were shillings or pounds. On one occa sion after seeing all three prisoners up-stairs playing with Locke, ho came down stairs and told me he had wog £l7. I have seen Spooner and Sellen stake money. I recoileo, Mr. Metcalf—l have only to say that at the trial I shall have a complete answer to the charges, and also that an action will be instituted as soon as the trial is over for a malicious prosecution against Mr. Holloway, as he had re peatedly said all he wanted was to get his money back. Mr. Metcalfe—There will be no objection, I suppose, to admit the defendant Locke to bail ? Mr. Sleigh—l am instructed to object. I believe the defendant has been heard to say that if he could get bail that he should " step it." I am also told that since the present summons had been issued the defendant has dis posed of one of his two places of business in London. Mr. Metcalf replied that such was not the case. The bail he had in attendance was of the most substantial kind• Mr. Flower decided to admit Locke to bail, himself in £4OO, and two sureties, one in £2OO and one in £lOO. The sureties being in attendance, the formalities were completed and the defendant left the court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORGED ORDERS.—John Watson, a young man, described as a blacksmith, charged with obtaining good; by means of a forged order, from Mr. Douglas, hairdresser, of 44, South Audley - street, was again brought before Mr. T yr whitt. The evidence showed that the prisoner went to Mr. Douglas's shop and presented an order which purported to be signed by a gentleman named .Guisett, of the Albany Goods were given to him, and he handed Mr. Douglas a' cheque for £3 45., which also bore the name of Guisett on it. Mr. Douglas, after deducting the amount of the goods, £1 10s., gave the prisoner the change. Subsequently he went and had more goods, and at last suspicion being aroused, and inquiries made at Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s bank, it was found that no person of the name of Guisett had an account at the bank. The prisoner was then taken into custody by Dawson, 301 A. Dawson now informed the magistrate that he had made inquiries at the Albany, and there was no person of the name of Guisett there. He had also ascertained that the prisoner had only recently been discharged from prison after undergoing twelve months' imprisonment for a simi lar offence. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE DRUNKARD AND ALLEGED SWINDLER. —One of the principals of the firm of Messrs. Youngman and Hanman, silk mercers, Sloane-street, Brompton, ap plied to the magistrate for a warrant against a lady of position for obtaining goods under false pretences. Appli cant stated that at about 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon a lady came into the shop and ordered goods to the amount of £3O ; she gave her name as Mrs. Mary Jane Richardson, of Melberry-terrace House, near Harewood-square, and wished the goods to bo sent there on approbation. She said she would like one silk dress to take with her to bo made up at once as she was going to a party. They said it was not usual to do such things, but being referred to the Court Guide, and finding her name and address correct, she was allowed to take one with her, the value being £7 10s., the goods being taken next morning. Mrs. Rich ardson was denied ; the servant said she had not been there for months, and her husband was now instituting a suit against her in the Divorce Court. The servant would not receive the things and handed witness two papers that had been printed by order of her master. The first was a caution against her to the general public, and the second contained three cases against her at the Marylebone Police Court on February 13, 1865. She was fined £5 for as saulting a man who came to eject her from her husband's house; eleven days after she was sentenced to seven days hard labour for being drunk and riotous, and on March 20th she was discharged with a caution for annoying her husband. She had swindled thirty tradespeople, and had obtained a valuable opera glass from Attenborough only yesterday, which she pawned, as well as all the other articles she obtained. Mr. Selfe inquired of applicant what was the nature of the false pretence? It must not be the false pretence of a promise, but of an existing fact. Applicant said on the faith of her being a lady, living at the address given, and her name being in the Court Guide, ho let her have the silk dress. The warrant. was granted for her apprehension. SOUTUWARK. SUSPICIOUS CASE.—Mary Ann Willoughby was charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate, with stealing a blue bag containing divers numbers of the Home Maga zine and other cheap periodicals, a banker's pass-book, and other articles, the property o f Mr. Turner, a draper, resid ing at Hanwell, in the county of Middlesex. From the evidence of Police-sergeant M‘Leod it appeared that Mr. Turner was driving his waggonette along the Southwark-bridge-road, having the bag containing the property mentioned in the charge deposited in the rear of the vehicle. Before arriving at the Elephant and Castle he discovered that the bag and its contents had been ab stracted, and he at once communicated his loss to the wit ness (Sergeant M'Leod), who immediately put detective officer Robert Borschlayer in pursuit of the stolen pro perty, which Mr. Turner had fully described, especially mentioning his banker's pass-book. • The testimony of the detective officer (Borschlayer) went to show that, from information which he received, he went to the house of the prisoner, No. 4, Gun-street, within the district of this court, and there in a box which ho now produced, not only the bag, but the banker's book and all the other property which have since been identified by Mr. Turner as having been stolen from his waggonette. The prisoner, when asked what she had to say in answer to the charge, declared that while she was in the back yard of her house a young man, whom she did not know, came in and asked her to take charge of the bag. The books which were found loose in her box belonged to her children. She had lived eight years in her present house, paying 4s. a week. In reply to the Magistrate—Sergeant M'Leod stated that the prisoner, who was a widow, had long been suspected as a receiver of stolen goods, but until the present case no charge had been made against her. He believed she has resided in Gun -street during the time she had stated. Mr. Burcham said that though the circumstances were suspicious, yet looking at her long residence in the neigh bourhood, and also the fact that she has never before been charged, he would permit her to go at large on her own recognisance in £lO to appear in a week, THAMES. ROBBING FURNISHED APARTMENTS.—EIIen West, alias Metcalf, alias Smith, a well-dressed young woman, aged 23, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing two sheets, a table-cloth, a counterpane, and a teapot, the property of Mrs. Harvey, a respectable widow, of No. 5, Portland-street, Commercial-road, East. On the morning of Thursday, the 28th of last month, the prisoner hired a bedroom and a sitting-room in the house of Mrs. Harvey, and represented to her that she was the wife of Mr. Metcalf, chief mate of the ship Stanley, that the vessel was wrecked, and that all the clew were drowned except her husband and the captain. She also stated that her luggage would be brought to the house in a few days, and that her husband would Join her shortly, and was expected in London hourly. Tho prisoner occu pied the apartments until the next evening, when sho received a visit from a female who remained with her some time. Both left the house soon afterwards, the visitor first and the prisoner next. On the same night, at 12 o'clock, Mrs. Harvey visited the apartments hired by the prisoner and missed her property. The prisoner did not return to the house, but she was met in Jubilee-street, Stepney, on the following evening and given into custody. She then gave the name of Smith, and subsequently gave the name of 'West. She refused to give her address, and said she had been servant to a gentleman Named Arnold, at No. 5, Ashburnham Villas, streets were Avilslittehde,Aesehd cboutrilndha n m o t villa s , m b r e s found.avißawlins, ies terraces, ,nr S ghne i iar r e a b l ac n e eue y d un , ltyt ,Naroseof robbing Edith-street, n s il t 4 gmh -a A s rt,rrieeebotl Hackney road, ready-furnishede a v e e k d ne t y h - e rlpoord' lt i:gdo i : • nn . wgeP:lsiht not d d t gb.aeeweellaormegmitted the prisoner for trial. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market continues strong at steady rates. Sales, probably 25,000 bales. A BORDER SABBATARIAN.—Same time ago, a young man, when travelling on a border moor one Sunday, saw a fine salmon lying in a shallow stream. Owing to the sanctity of the day, conscientious scruples would not permit him to kill the lonely and helpless fish, although he was exceedingly anxious to get it into his possession. His ingenuity, however, hit upon what he seemed to consider a very safe compromise. Seizing the salmon, he carried it away to a retired pool, and there built a drystone dyke around it, so that it might remain secure and unmolested during the week in return for his fine prize His scheme succeeded ; in a few days ho returned, and, free from all Sztbbatarian pangs, took possession of the so much coveted salmon, which lie found safe and sound within its extemporised water-prison ! How exquisitely balanced are the consciences of " th© unco' godly !"—Kelso My Lords,—ln accordance with your instructic)ns, we, the undersigned, two magistrates for the county of• Sussex, have held an inquiry into the loss of the Alexandra (s), assisted by Captains Baker and Thurburn, the nautical assessors appointed by your board. The Alexandra was an iron paddlewheel steamer, of 180-horse power, built at Greenock in 1863, registered at Newhaven, her re gistered tonnage being 204 tons. She was commanded by Mr. Abraham Blampied, who holds a master's certificate of competency, dated March 9, 1861, had a crew of 21 hands, all told, and 27 passengers on board, and she also carried a valuable general cargo. The ship was in good condition, and well equipped. The Alex andra sailed foom Newhaven, bound to Dieppe, on the morning of the 7th of September, at 2 30 a.m., she being a passenger steamer belonging to the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. On leaving Newhaven she steered a S.E. 4. E. course, being well to the eastward, to allow for the ebb tide running at the time, the weather being fine and clear, with a light breeze from the N.E. Nothing unusual occurred until about 630 a.m., when the weather became foggy, and at 6 45 a dense fog set in, as allowed by all the witnesses. During the passage across a good many vessels had been passed, causing the steamer's helm to be ported and starboarded frequently to avoid them. At 715 a cast of the lino was taken, but no sound ings obtained with 20 fathoms of line. At 730 they got soundings in 17 fathoms. From this time the lead was hove occasionally, the engines having been slowed to half-speed at '6 45, and at 8 30 to dead slow, soundings then having been obtained in 8i fathoms, and shortly after in 6i fa thoms, this being the least water got by_the lead, as sworn to by the master; but, by the evidence of the boatswain and second mate, who was himself heaving the lead, he got one cast of 3i, one of less four, and of five fathoms. At 8 40 a boat was lowered, the engines being stopped, and the chief mate sent in charge, with orders to pull in towards the land to ascertain the ship's position. In about fifteen or twenty minutes the boat returned, and the mate reported to the master that the ship was to the west ward of Cape Ailly, distant about one and a half or two mileS. On getting this information the engines, by the master's orders, were turned ahoad dead slow, and the helm ported hard-a-starboard, her head being at the time about east, with a strong flood (spring) tide setting in that direction, directly towards the rocks, of probably four knots per hour velocity. The ship payed off slowly to wards the north, off shore, approaching rapidly, by the set of the tide and her own way through the water, which was about two and a-half knots, a dangerous reef of rocks, called the Ailly Rocks, projecting out from the Cape about one mile, and in a few minutes she struck lightly upon a rock. When her head had payed off to the N.E., the vessel passed over this rock without any ap parent damage, as it was at once ascertained that she made no water. On her getting clear of this rock the engines were stopped, and remained so about 15 minutes, during which time she must have been drifting with the tide towards the reef. In the meantime orders were given to see all the boats clear for lowering. After this was done the engines were again turned a-head dead slow, the helm being kept hard a-starboard ; but in a few minutes she struck a second time by the starboard fore sponson at 9.30, and remained firmly fixed, the rock having gone right through the ship's side, the engine-room and fore com partment being quickly filled with water. The Alexandra has subsequently become a total wreck upon the reef of rocks off Cape Ailly, about half-a-mile from the Point, and nearly five miles to the westward of Dieppe. Fortu nately no lives were lost, the passengers and crew reaching Dieppe safely in the ship's boats. Since this disaster a considerable portion of the baggage, cargo, and stores have been landed from the steamer, in a more or less damaged condition. This is a brief narrative of the facts as supplied to us by the evidence. In the opinion of the Court the course steered was a safe and judicious one, and should have taken the ship considerably more to the eastward on approaching the French coast. It would be difficult to account for her being so far to the westward. Probably the helm was ported a good deal more than starboarded during the passage, and the ebb tide may have been unusually strong. It did not appear that any doubt existed as to the correctness of the compasses, although something was said about machinery being stowed on the upper deck ; but this being some 70 or 80 feet from the compasses, did not in all probability affect them. The Court feels bound to give the master credit for having exercised the precautions of slowing his engines for using his lead when the weather became foggy, but it is impos sible to continue to render the same credit to him for his conduct after 840 a.m. when he sent a boat on shore. For although it may be conceded that he was misled by the incorrect report of his mate, that ho was one and a-half or two miles to the westward of Point Ailly, when, in fact, he was actually much closer to it, it is inexcusable that he should afterwards have omitted to use the lead, as he himself states, with one single exception, until the vessel was finally stranded. In coming to the decision upon the conduct of the Master, taking into consideration the precautions which he did take and the good character he bears, the Court feels inclined to visit him with a lenient sentence. At the same time, for the interests of the public, and to prevent, if possible, future casualties, it felt it a duty in cumbent upon it to pronounce Mr. Abraham Blampied in default for having neglected to keep his lead constantly going after he found the ship in so dangerous a position, and we have, therefore, with the full concurrence of the Nautical Assessors, suspended Mr. Abraham Blampied's certificate for three months from this date.

The above is the expression of gratitude by a gentleman iof Dover, who, having completely shattered his health by ntense study at the university, and undergone two years' treatment by some of the first medical men in town, was reduced to a fearful degree of emaciation, hardly able to stand, his stomach too weak to retain any ordinary food, and his nerves in constant irritation, preventing all sleep, commenced living on Du Barry's Revalenta, Arabica Food on the 14th April, 1860, when he had been reduced to a mere skeelton, weighing only 1091 b.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A RAILWAY CASHIER. CLEVER CAPTURE.—Yesterday, before the Liver pool stipendiary magistrate, George Woodruff was charged with having embezzled sums of money, the property of the London and North-western Railway Company. He had been 13 years in the service of the company, and had latterly been employed as cashier at the Park-lane goods station. Information which empowered the police to in terfere reached them yesterday morning, and Detective Scaife, finding that the steamer City of Baltimore would start in 20 minutes from the river, took a boat and went on board. There he found the prisoner, who bad taken a passage in the name of George Longfellow. When charged he admitted that he had taken £4O or £5O, and £4O was found upon him. He made no defence, and was re manded. _ IN LUCK'S WAY.—In the course of the recent civil war, and in less than three years, the town of Win chester, Virginia, was occupied 48 times by Union troop s and 27 times by Confederate troops, making 75 times.

GOVERNMENT OF CANADA.—General Sir John Michel will be the administrator of the government in the absence of Lord Monck, who will be away all winter.— _ Toronto Globe. TORPEDOES IN SWEDEN.—By order of the King of Sweden, experiments with submarine infernal machines aro about to be tried on the old ship of the line Charles XIII. The New York Tribune, commenting upon the haste with which books are poured out from Ame rican presses, says that a great number of sheets are sent to the binder before they are dry, and appear in the market in book form hopelessly disfigured by " off-.setting"—that is, by the damp impression of one page printing off on an ' other. Many and many a copy of well-known books have been turned over in the stores to find one free from this blemish, and often in vain. The register of the book is so imperfect that the effect of the off-setting becomes the more conspicuous—in the head-lines of the page espe cially. " There is another sort of disfigured book," adds the Tribune, "we would have every buyer reject, • those, viz , which attack him with an advertisement oppo site the title. It has grown to be common of late for pub lishers to advertise on the reverse of the fly-title, facing the title-page proper, so that purchaser or reader cannot possibly turn to the title of the book he buys or consults without being affronted by this thrusting of other wares upon his notice. Worse even than this are some books which bear an advertisement upon the back of the title-page itself, so that it is impossible to tear out the advertisement except by tearing out the title. This latter abomination is not yet, we are happy to say, very common; but it may grow to any extent unless buyers refuse to touch those books in which the publishers' cards are inserted in such a way that they cannot be removed without injury to the book itself." FIVE PERSONS BITTEN BY A DOG.—On Wednes day evening a bull terrier dog followed another dog into the shop of Mr. Cochran, grocer, North-street, Brighton. One of the workmen named Wild attempted to put the terrier out of the shop, when the animal suddenly became ferocious and flew at him. Another workman named Benham went to the assistance of his companion, but be fore they got the dog into the street it had bitten both severely. Outside the shop the animal rushed at an iron monger's porter named Street, and also bit him. A. butcher's assistant who was passing struck at it, and he also suffered. A borough constable named Clifford ran up with his staff drawn and hit the animal with the weapon, • but when it loosed its hold of Street it in turn attacked the officer, bit him in both hands, and tore his coat. A by stander hit it with a large hammer, and it retreated into the shop of Mr. Joel, fruiterer, who ran a spike into its head and disabled it. It was then killed. Wild, Benham, and Street were taken to the hospital. The two former are so severely injured that they must remain under medical treatment for some time at the institution ; Street was discharged after his wound had been dressed. There is ground for hoping that the dog was not rabid, and only be came infuriated at being interfered with in the shop. STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CDYDE.—A screw named the Oneglia has been launched by Messrs. Macnab and Co. The Oneglia, which is 130 ft. in length, by 18ft. in breadth and 10ft. in depth, will be propelled by a pair of direct acting engines, of 40 horse-power, con structed by the same builders. She has been built for the San Remo Steam Navigation Company, and is intended, with the San Remo, a sister vessel, built some time since, for the coasting trade on the Sardinian coast. The Zeta, built by Messrs. A. Stephen and Son and Messrs. H. Bath and Son, of Swansea, and intended to be employed in the passenger and copper ore trade between England and Valparaiso, has " run the lights" between Cloch and Cumbrae on favourable conditions. Thus the Zeta, which was engined by Messrs. A. and J. Inglis, attained a speed of 94 knots, the steam being merely auxiliary. The Limena has made the run out from Liver pool to Valparaiso, a distance of 9,000 miles, in 30 days 23 hcetrs, with a coal consumption of 880 tons for the whole voyage. The Limena was one of four steamers built on the Clyde last year by Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and Co., for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. The Java, recently built by Messrs. G. and J. Thomson, and the latest addition to the Cunard fleet, has left the Clyde for Liverpool. In running the lights between Cloch and Cumbrae she attained a speed of rather more than 16} • miles per hour. SHORTNESS OF TIME IN DREAMS.—One of the most remarkabl e ph enomena connected with dreams is the shortness of time needed for their consummation. Lord Brougham says that in dictating a man may frequently fall asleep after uttering a few word; and be awakened by the amanuensis repeating the last word to show he has written the whole ; but, though five or six seconds only have elapsed between the delivery of the sentence and its transfer to paper, the sleeper may have passed through a dream extending through half a lifetime. Lord Holland and Mr. Babbage both confirm this theory. The ono was listening to a friend reading aloud, and slept from gra t o o fsp he in a the beginning of the sentence to the latter part . of the sentence immediately succeeding; yet during this time liable to woke oln skeletont feeling s mie he had a dream, the particulars of which would have taken more than a quarter of an hour to write. Mr. Babbage the concluding words of a friend's answer to aquestion he dreamt a succession o n f be e y v ma e an n d t re s, w.a a an n sl d hao w fb ohAam whent t e l ha n en ly in get embarking he skeleton.

A NEGRO POET. ---it is proposed to issue a volume of poems by George Horton, "the negro bard of North Carolina." George Horton was a slave, too fond of tippling for his own welfare, but a great favourite with both male and female members of the community. It is said that many a fair beauty has now in her possession loving rhymes which George has written at the instigation of sighing lovers. The students were pleased with and en couraged his manifestations of poetical genius, but his dis sipated habits caused him now and then to be very sum marily ejected from society. A HEAVY INSURANCE CLAIM.—By the death of the Earl of Strathmore the insurance companies have to ...... . _ meet a claim amounting to nearly X 200,000. The Scotch offices are those principally conc erned, thou g h severalpolicies were effected with English companies. Insu rance Record. ___. ..._ A PRUSSIAN PANIC. The Prussians are so alarmed on account of the cattle plague that they will not admit within their frontiers foreign animals of any kind, and even the drovers and all persons suspected of having comp in contact with beasts susceptible of the plague are under an interdict. Two pairs of pigeons sent from Bel gium were stopped by the Prussian officers ; and t a stuffed dog was also, it is said, seized on the frontier.
