During the six weeks of their course a tendency to further improvement has been manifested. It is scarcely to be expected that the manufacturing districts will be as well employed as in the first four months of the year; and inactivity of trade there largely decreases the consumption. A deficient harvest tells heavily upon the demand for clothing materials, and, by all accounts from the, corn-growing districts, an unsatisfactory result is to be feared. But for this circumstance the pro spects for wool must be considered good, and they are likely to remain so so long as tho consumption of the article follows as closely in the wake of the supply as it dm at present. Mid ( D, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. The Flower Show at the Industrial Exhibition. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. MANSION-HOUSE. (From the Revi:fra:•-Genr: - a,'s Pe:urn) USING ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.—Mary Fletcher, a dissolute looking woman, was charged with using abusive language. Mr. Hurst, landlord of the public-house, 26, Lower Thames-street, said that about 11 o'clock last night the prisoner was outside his door, and used the most offensive and abusive language to a gentleman who was then staying in the house. He remonstrated with her, and she then commenced abusing him. Finding that ske would not go away quietly, he gave her into custody. For a consider able time she had been in the habit of coming to his house and using the most insulting language towards him and his customers, and she was a regular nuisance. Police-Coustable Shoe deposed to having taken the woman into custody, and having used very disgusting language. Sir Robert Carden sentenced the prisoner to seven days hard labour for causing an obstruction in the streets. Henry ll.ighes, a young man, was charged with ob structing the thoroughfare in Leadenhall-street. A very interesting feature has just been added to the Working Men's Industrial Exhibition at the Agricultural Hall, Islington—viz.: a working man's flower-show; and when the lateness of the season and the uncongenial state of the weather is taken into consideration, the greatest loverof flowers could. not wish to see a greater variety of well grown plants even at the Herticultural Gardens. The " show" is very tastefully arranged in the lec ture-hall, and the splendid and unusual appearance it presents attracts general attention and commenda tion. Although the competition for prizes was solely confined to working met, a large number of very splendid specimens of exotic plants have been contributed by the great nurserymen surrounding the metropolis, to " back up" the amateur display, and such a proceeding entitles them to especial praise. The plants arc arranged in the usual form adopted at such display, and embrace fine specimens of roses, dahlias, fuschias, balsams, geraniums, &e. Amongst the principal objects that attract the audience is a splendid collection of coniferme lent by Mr. Gordon, and certainly a more unique display we have never seen. Then the gorgeous contribution of (gladioli, ferneries, - and ornamental boxes for window gardening, all filled with the most lovely plants by the Messrs. Carter, of Holborn, present a very striking feature, and elicits universal admira tion. Mr. Puig, the ornamental rock-worker, of St. John's-wood, sends two elegant designs in orna mental rock-work for out-door ferneries—one in imitation of ruins, and the other cragged rock, with natural dried ferns, both of which are most cleverly executed. The amateurs who have succeeded in taking prizes are--For roses : Mr. Murray, of Ley ton, and Mr. Mathews, of Lea-bridge ; for fuschias, Mr. Gray, of Islington, and M. Green, of Green wich ; for geraniums, Mr. Mathews and Mr. Gray ; for balsams, Mr. Green; for foliage plants, Mr. Long and Mr. Trushell, of Stoke Newington ; for dahlias, Mr. Mathews ; for exotic ferns, Mr. Young ; for hardy ferns, Mr. Trushell ; for asters, Mr. Mathews and Mr. Rose ; for cacti, Mr. Cappus ; for fruit and vegetables, Mr. Young; for grapes, Mr. George ; for table decoration, Mr. Hester ; for bona nets, Mr. Russell and Mr. Bent ; and for de signs for flower gardens, Mr. Powell and Mr. Murray. Police-constable C 59 said that about 11 o'clock this morning ho saw the prisoner, who had a basket of walnuts on his head, looking in at a picture-shop. Having the basket it caused an obstruction on the pavement, and ho desired him to move on, which he refused to do. He the took him by the arm and pushed him but without unnecessary force into the road, upon which the prisoner abused him in the coarsest manner, and he took him into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and flippantly inquired of the magistrate whether he had not a right to look into a picture shop if he liked. Sir It. Carden—Certainly not, with a basket on your head, and I shall fine you five shillings, or send you, in default of payment, to prison for seven days. All the specimens sent in competition are worthy the highest praise, especially as many of them have been produced under the deadening effect of London smoke. The show has been produced entirely through the praiseworthy exertions of Mr. Broome, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Green, seconded, as they have been, by the contributions sent by the following nurserymen, viz., Mr. Henderson, of Pine Apple-place ; Messrs. Downie and Laird ; Mr. Burley, Mr. Williams, Mr. Legge, Messrs. Cater of Holborn, Mr. Preston, and Messrs. Barr and Sugden. The display will remain open till Friday, until which time it will assuredly attract thousands to the Agricultural Hall. Metropolitan a , 2d Provincial Working Men's Exhibition. This Exhibition, which is attracting vast crowds of visi;ors to the Great Metropolitan Hall, Isling ton, has been now open for three weeks, and, judging from the ill:inters who have already attended it, is likely to Le even a greater success than that of 1864, held "n the same place and under the same manage ment. The arrangement of the numerous objects of &splay, which was far from complete on the day of inauguration, has been carried out with great care and excellent effect, even. the articles which arrived after the opening day obtaining e•F__ Bible places in the tasteful distribution. Some of these latter are of rare merit, so that those who at tended on the earlier days of the Exhibition will be fully repaid by a second visit. During the first week 42,000 persons paid for admission, during the second 54,000, and during the third 55,000 ; making a total of something more than 150,000 visitors during three weeks. 'lhcse numbers, how ever, are not to be taken as a criterion of the pro bable success of the undertaking, for the promoters of it expect that when man,/ who are now from home come back to town that the returns will show a great increase, - especially - in th number of day visitors, who have to pay more than those who attend in the evenings, and to whom the manage ment looks for success in a pecuniary sense. But even with a weekly attendance of about 50,000 there is no doubt that there would be a consider abla surplus after paying all expenses. After the Exhibition of 1864 alluded to above the surplus then in the hands of the treasurer was forwarded to the Society of and the interest of that sum is now given in prize money to the ethibitor in art workmanship from the northern district who may prove successful in competition held annually. This year, however, whatever remains i i the hands of the committee after all expenses have been paid will be added to the p r i ze mone y a lready v ot e d, so that there is every reason to hope that the number of awards wall be mo re th an usua lly large, and the . r. value more than usually substantial. During this week there will be a great variety of entertainments. On Wednesday there will be a musical reunion of the children of the Band of Hope schools, which is expected to be of a varied and interesting cha racter. • The Emperor and Empress of the French at Biarritz. The Emperor, almost immedi7tely on his arrival at Biar ritz, took a walk on the terrace overhanging the cea, ac companied by the Prince Yrnperial and General Floury. At night the whole town was illuminated ; and about nine o'clock his Majesty and the Empress walked for some time in the midst of the crowd, and were everywhere received with the greatest cordillity and respect. The day after the Emperor paid a visit to the works !a pzogres3 for form ing a pelt of reluge. A letter from Biairitz gives some detals of the Empress's excursion to the grotto of S!,re "Her Majesty, the Pranc e Imper:al, and a suite of about 30 persons, arrived at Sare at one o'clock. The journey was made in bre:_ks drawn by horses from the imperial stables. The travellers alighted at the house of M. Michel Dihursubehere, where they stopped about two hours, wait ing till the weather, which had become rainy, shou'd clear up, as they intended to go on, after seeing the grotto of Sara, to that of Zugarrarnurdy, in Spa;n. The Emprese, Prime, and many of the suite Mounted on horseback, while most of the ladies and General Fleury's clai'den took their places in pack--addles on the backs of mules, thus revivi ig that ancient mode of travePing formerly so well known in the Pyrenees, and now almost forgotten. Nothing could bo nio:pcurious than this c aravan, w hi c h was gu i ded b y a troop of young men of the neighbourhood, who, by their height and the elasticity of frames, as well an their bold, free bearing, bought :o mind that proud nation of. Cantabrians from whom they are descended. The party, furnished with torches, went through the grotto of Sara, and afterwards v:sLed that of Zugammurdy, which is open at both ends, and in which slows a large rivclet, which all the party forded. Here the travelle:s requested the guide:, to sing some of their country conga, end in slan,ly a number of I' ne voices aroused the echoes of the spot.

In the week that ended on Saturday, Sept. 23, the births registered in. London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,256 ; the deaths registered, 3,003. The annual rate of mor tality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In Londun the births of 1,057 boys and 976 girl s, in all 2,033 children, were registered in the week. In tile corresponding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, corrected for increase of popula tion, was 1,9,50. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,350. It was the 38th week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,20 G. The deaths in the present return exceed the estimated number by 144. This number is exceeded by the deaths in the week from cholera. The deaths returned in the four last weeks from cholera were 198, 157, 182, and 150 ; from diarrhoea in the same periods 128, 132, 110, and 98. The deaths from cholera are less by 32 than the deaths from that disease in the previous week. Of deaths registered last week from cholera and diarrhcea, 14 persons died from cholera and 11 from diarrhcea in the West districts, 23 from cholera and 19 from diar rhcea in the North districts, 19 from cholera and 17 from diarrhoea in the Central districts, 56 from cholera and 24 from diarrhcea in the East districts, and 33 from cholera and 27 from diarrhcea in the South districts. Fifty-thrce young persons under 20 years of age died from cholera and 81 from diarrhcea, at the age of 20 and upwards 97 deaths occurred from cholera and 17 from diarrhcea. Woolwich, unlike the other parts of the metropo lis, had no medical health officer at the time of the outbreak of cholera ; but the Board of Works, on the appearance of the first case of cholera in Lon don, appointed a committee, who made the two un'on officers health officers for the time being, and took other-active -steps to combat the threatening, epidemic..,, In the cane of Brewer-place, where six deaths from cholera occurred, it is admitted that there was some delay in the application of proper measures. Four deaths from cholera occurred last week in Woolwich, and ten in Deptford. The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 per. 1,000 in London, 19 in Edinburgh, 27 in Dublin, 18 in Bristol, 18 in Birmingham, 52 in Liverpool, 30 in Manchester, 29 in Salford, 21 in Sheffield, 26 in Leeds, 21 in Hull, 35 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 22 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 43 per 1,000 during the week ending the 15th inst., when the mean temperature was 1.4 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-564 in. he barometrical reading increased from 29.94 in. on Tuesday to 29-04 in. on Saturday. The mean tem perature of the air in the week was 53.7 deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 66.9 deg. on Wednesday. The lowest night temperature was 42.4 deg. on Tuesday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 24.5 deg. The mean of the highest tem peratures of the water of the Thames was 57.7 deg. ; that of the lowest was 56.8 deg. The difference be tween the mean dew-point temperature and air tem perature was 5.3 deg. 'The mean degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. Rain fell on five days in the week to the amount of 0.83 in., one-half of which was mez.sured on Saturday. The general direction of the wind was south-west. The mist was observed on five days of the week. BOW-STREET. A gentlemanly-looking young man, who gave the name of George Andrews, but whose real name it is said is Geo. Parlance, was charged with obtaining goods by false pre tences from Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, outfitters, Strand. Mr. John Wm. Amoney, assistant to Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, stated that a few days back the prisoner called at the shop and ordered a quantity of goods of witness, saying that he was an officer in the sth Fusiliers, and was about to sail in about a week. He ordered goods to the amount of about £4O, saying he would call again by the time they were got ready. He gave his address " George Andrews, sth Fusilier Guards, Somerset Hotel, Strand." He took away with him some gloves, handkerchiefs, ac., and desired that the other articles, to the value of £4 3s. 9d. should be sent to the hotel. This was done. A few days later he called and obtained other goods, to the value of £1 ss. 6d. Upon a third call he obtained some other articles. Yesterday he called again, and gave a fur ther order. Witness then said he had referred to the Arrny List, and could not find the name of Andrews as an officer of the sth Fusiliers. The prisoner said he was appointed but not yet gasetted. Witness said he should like to have the money for the goods already supplied. The prisoner said if witness would call upon him at the Tavistock Hotel the next morning he would give him a cheque for the amount, £ll some odd shillings. Witness replied, " I would rather go with you now." He went with the prisoner to the Tavistock Hotel, where the prisoner, after speaking to one of the waiters, said to witness, "I have not got the money. lam hard up for cash, but I will give you a check." Ho then wrote an order upon the " London and County Bank, Albert. Gate Branch," for the amount. 'Witness said he could not take that as payment ; but would go with him to the bank. They then got into the cab, and ordered the cabman to drive to Albert-gate. On the way he stopped at a cafe in Windmill-street, and several other places, on the pretext of asking friends to lend him the money, in each case making some attempt to get away by another door, or in some way to evade witness's com pany. 'Witness, however, kept close to him, and now told him that he believed the paper was worthless, as the prisoner would have gone on to the Bank at once. Tho prisoner admitted that it was worthless, as the account was overdrawn. He said he expected £5O from his mother. 'Witness then brought him back to the shop, where Mr. Carrol, the chief clerk, saw the prisoner and told him that the firm was convinced that he was attempting to swindle them, and that he had never been in the Fusiliers at all. The prisoner took up the paper from the table, said it was of no use, tore it up, and threw the pieces in the fireplace. He, however, per sisted that his name was Andrews, and that ho was an officer in the Fusiliers. Ho was given in custody at the Station, and he admitted that this was not true, but that he had been in business in Cheapsido and had failed. Ho was remanded for further inquiry. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG VAGABOND.—James Bowen, 20; apprentice to Mr. Thos. Henry Hartley, marble factor, of 7, Earl-street, Westminster, was charged with• leaving his work and absconding since Juno last. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Hartley, who carries on extensive businesses, at home and abroad, has a great number of apprentices from unions, whom he teaches the various branches of the trade, and when they have been with him a few years, and have learned what they consider sufficient to enable them to get a living elsewhere, they absconded from his employ. The prisoner, who is 20 years old, was apprenticed in August, 18G0, and has to serve seven years. In Juno last lie absconded with others. His sister said he was ill, and he accepted the excuse ; but hearing that he was at work elsewhere a warrant was obtained, and he was appre hended by 'Emanuel Davis, 234 B. Prisoner said he was ill three weeks, and then did not return because he had only 12s. a week at Mr. Hartley's, and earned 18s. a week elsewhere. Mr. Hartley said his agreement was for 125., but he had 15s. a week to encourage him. Prisoner's mother said he did not earn sufficient at Mr. Hartley's to keep himself. Mr. Arnold said if others deserted he was old enough to set a good example, and must be made an example of. His agreement said 12s. a week, and he had 15s. to encourage him, but was not content with that. When his time ex pired next August Mr. Hartley would be able to require him to servo 14 weeks longer (the time ho has left). He was then sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. MARL BOROUGH-S TREET. AN OMNIBUS THIEF-CAUTION TO• LADIES. Eliza Wood, a well-dressed female, who gave the ad dress No. 174, New Kent-road, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt was charged with stealing, from the dress-pocket of Mrs. Ann Hem, the wife of a coffee-house keeper, at No. 8, SloEne-square, a purse, containing money, while in a Victoria omnibus. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner. Mrs. Horn said that on the previous afternoon she got into a " Victoria " omnibus in Grosvenor-place, and sat next to the prisoner, who was on her right hand. When at the bottom of Park-lane she felt her purse safe in her pocket. The omnibus stopped at the top of the lane, and the prisoner got out. Directly after she had done so, she (prosecutrix) noticed that some of her keys, which were in the same pocket as her purse, were at the bottom of the omnibus. She went after the prisoner, and saw her standing insido the park looking after the omni bus. She went up to the prisoner and said, " I have lost my purse," and the prisoner said sho had not got it, and hoped she did not accuse her of stealing it, and talked a great deal about her respectability. She told the prisoner that she, should give her into custody on suspicion of steal ing her purse, and a gentlemen went for a constable, and she then gave the prisoner in charge, and subsequently the purse was found in the possession of the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the prosecutrix said that her pocket had been cut. The female searehor proved finding the proseeutrix's purse in the prisoner's umbrella, and the prisoner offered her £lO not to say anything about it. Mr. Lewis said Le could offer no defence for the prisoner after hearing the evidence. Sho was the wife of a respect able man, and had no doubt yielded to temptation vthen she took the prosecutrix's purse. She would plead guilty to the charge if his worship would deal with the case. Mr. Tyrwhitt consented to deal with the ma, and coin mated tho prisoner for 3 months with hard labour. A CHINESE PORTRAIT.—HC LS a limber-limbed young 'fellow, very thin, with very long slender fingers tho which, with patient' deftness, ho knows well how to use. His complexion is, of uniform pale saffron, of the texture of parchment, and he is perfectly beardless. He has very long lustrous black hair falling over his shoulders. In the centre of his countenance, which, in its yellow, smoothness, does not ill resemble a boiled batter pudding, show, like currants in the said pudding, a pair of little sharp black oyes. His forehead is very low, his cheek bones very high, and about his lips there lingers con tinually a scarcely definable yet ineffable simper of com placent beatitude, due, perhaps, to an inward consciousness of merit, or to opium, or to sheer innate imbecility. Where have you seen that parchment face, those eyes, that up turned calmly conceited smirk before ? On a tea-tray ? On a tea-chest ? On a fan ? On a rico-paper view of the Porcelain Pagoda at Nankin ? To whom, in fine, should those features and that expansion belong but to a brother of the sun and moon, a native of the flowery land, a deni zen of the Celestial empire ? They appertain, indeed, here to a Chinese coolie.—Dickens's All the Year Round." THE IRISH LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—W O under stand that the Government have at length come to a decision about the legal arrangements, and that the Attorney General, Mr. John Edward Walshe, will become Master of the Rolls. He will be succeeded by Mr. Morris, and the solicitorship will bo accepted by Mr. Sterne Ball Miller, M.P. The retirement of Judge Hayes is said also to have been arranged, and a seat on the common law bench has thus been provided for Mr. John George, M.P., who, rumour has it, refused the offer of the Rolls.—Free man's Journal. PROPOSED INVITATION OF MR. GLADSTONE TO BELFAST.—The Northern Whig of yesterday says that the financial reformers of Ulster aro about inviting Mr. Gladstone to a banquet in Belfast, in consideration of his great fulaticial services. THE CHOLERA. A retrosptct of things done in connexion with the epidemic that is now gradually passing away should suggest useful inferences as to the conduct of the future, and so secure to all classes the benefits of prevention on a very extended scale. The vast amount of good that has been derived during the last three months from a system of house-to house N'sitation in most districts of the metropolis is too palpable to need comment or argument in its fa vour. None can tell to what extent the epidemichas been chetked by this means, but it is an -incontes tible fact that, if we have cored little, we have pre vented much cholera. There are, however, few, if any, disLicts that show so many outward signs of good effected from strict inspection as that com prised in our own great water-way. During , the past two months, the Thames, from London-bridge to Woolwich (includin,g the Regent's and City canals) has been taken. in Lard by the. Seamen's Hospital Society, and a ship-to-ship visitation has been and is sill going on between these points. Above 430 vessels are so visited daily, and medicines rre given in all cases of diarrhoea. It is difficult to calculate przcisely the number of individuals brought under medicrl supervision, but the above number of vessels represents at least 1,800 persons of both sexes and all ages. In the epidemics of ICI9 and 1834 respec tively 250 cases of cholera were received by the Dreadnought authorities. During the present epi demic but 73 cases have been entered on the books of the Belleisle hospital ship, and three only have come from those parts of the liver visited by the staff of the Seamen's Hospital Society. Other de tails might be given with reference to tbil salutary work, but a sufficiency is here to indicate a large and definite amount of preventive aid afforded. In thus, however, showing what has been recently effected, we wish to show at the same time how emphaticary this success indicates a dire want, and exhibits a glaring sanitary defect, in the governance of our own port of London. The disposition of arrange ments by the Board of Health enjoins that the me dical officer in each district is to be deemed respon sible for the supervision of that portion of the river flowing through such district, and to inspect all_ floating habitations moored thereon. But such an arrangement is utterly impossible of performance when an epidemic is raging, and at ordinary times it is no i'l compliment to district medical offi• cers to say that such a duty is entirety foreign to their general scheme of work. The Thames is ruled by a Conservancy Board, and no interference with the administrative management of that great highway for commerce is permitted to the authorities of the parishes through which it flows. This body have harbour-masters with their subor dinates, a body of police, and an inspector of nuis ances. The exertions of the last named individual are confined-to the duty of preventing the Thames from being used as a convenient dustbin by its , floating denizens, and his work has no reference whatever (except,, perhaps, in a negative sense) to the sanitary condition of the shipping. The Con servators are, as a body, rightly endowed by the Legislature with great powers, having charge of most important commercial interests. In due sup port of those interests it is right they should possess and use the power to appoint a medical staff of their own. The parishes around the river would so be relieved of a charge in which they can have no possible interest, the Thames Conservancy would have the advice of a responsible sanitary officer, and we are justified in affirming, with the above results before us, that such an arrangement would largely influence for good the port and its vast floating po pulation. Few landsmen can form any kind of idea as to the unhealthy state in which that population normally exists. Let them look well and they will learn much. The ConServators of the Thames shcu'd be, as far as in them lies, also conservators of the health of its people, and can now, with a good case, apply for powers to have their own district under their own medical governance. Among our many sanitary sins of omission few at present are more patent than the non-existence of a medical officer of health for the port of London. The following is the official return of deaths in London from cholera and diarrhoea reg:stered on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 23 and 24: Cholera. Diarrhoea.

The inauguration of the first of the autumnal meetings at head-quarters suggests the near approach of the closing of tho racing campaign. The "First October," in addition to the interesting and attractive sport, is doubly important on account of the transactions which take place upon the great back-end handicaps, the Cesarowitch and Cambridge shire. The special and other trains on Monday were re markablyheavy, while the arrival of horses from the various training quarters was also very large. During Monday even ing " the Rooms" were almost deserted, and no attempt was made to speculate by tho few members who dropped in dur ing tho evening. There appeared every probability of a change iu the late unsettled and disagreeable weather, the night being remarkably bright and clear, and the meeting was ushered in by a fine autumnal morning; the sun shone brilliantly throughout the afternoon. The programme for the opening day being a somewhat formid able one, required an easy commencement, and at a quar ter to one eight of the ten animals entered for the Trial Stakes next to the post. The "talent" were fortunate in their selection of Opoponax, who was freely backed at 7 to 4, and, pulling over her opponents, she won in a canter by two lengths. The principal race of the day was the Great Eastern Handicap, appointed to be run at 2.35. Consider able excitement was manifested when the •numbers were hoisted on the telegraph-board minus that of Master Richard, who had been the favourite for a few days back and largely backed by the public. 16 of the 37 competitors entered went to the post, and of these Il Re Galantuomo was made favourite and supported for considerable sums of money at 3to 1. The English-bred representative of the French stable, about, whom 9 to 1 was obtainable, made play throughout, and won cleverly by a neck from Out and-Outer, who was most resolutely ridden by Custance. The Hopeful Stakes fell to the flying sister of Lord Lyon, who won easily from her two opponents. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes produced a field of four runners, and considerable intereat was taken in the result, inasmuch as Lord Lyon was conceding Knight of the Crescent twelve pounds. Lord Lyon's supporters, however, backed him for a good deal of money, although The Knight was fancied by a strong party, and supported for a good round sum at sto 4 against. The St. Leger winner, on being called upon, by Custance, gamely answered, and won easily by six lengths from The Knight. The remaining events are fully described in the appended returns : The TRIAL STAKES of 10 soya each, with 50 added ; weight for age ; winner to be sold for £5OO, if demanded ; pe nalties and allowances; A.

Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very scarce, but, on the'whole, in fair average condition. Very few buyers wore in attendance. Never, theless, the trade for all qualities ruled firm, and Monday'4 improvement was maintained. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was mode, rate. All descriptions supported the late advance, with firm inquiry. Floating cargoes of wheat were in steady request at full quotations. For other kinds of produce afloat there we.% a good demand at about provious currencies. The market was again scantily supplied with both home and foreign barley. Fine making parcels changed hands at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were die-. posed of at quite late rates. Malt ruled firm on former terms. . Oats, the show of which was moderate, moved off freely at the recent improvement in prices. Beans were in steady request at Monday's advance, and peas were held on former terms. - The flour trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. aeat.Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Gustave lieu mayor's new gunpowder. These experiments took place in the presence of M. do Sebach, the Saxon Minister; M. de Querlaade, an officer attached to the Austrian Embassy; Gen. Beuret, Director of the Gunpowder and Saltpetre Establishment ; M. de Puymory, Director of the Gun powder Manufactory of Le Bouchot, and other' competent persons. M. Neumeyer was accompanied by Dr. Klein, a young German advocate, who has un dertaken to propagate the invention. The property of this new gunpowder consists in its ndt exploding unless subjected •to a strong pressure. Its ingre dients are the same as those of the common sort, but the proportions are probably different, a. circumstance which, of course, is the inventor's secret. M. Neumeyer makes four kinds of gunpowder, viz.,. one for 'ordnance, another for muskets, a third for fowling-pieces, and a fourth for mining purposes. The three first are granulated, but the fourth is a very fine powder. A certain quantity of the other sorts was set fire to in the open air ; it burnt away with a fizzing noise like that of sulphuric acid dropped on a brick ;it emitted a smell of sulphur. Eleven kilogrammes of the compound were introduced into three small wooden ,barrels, which were then carried with place, but ild their bungholes left open into. a small house buil t of stone and roofed with tiles. The door was l ocked and a train fired. A thick smoke firs o t i is .e s a u l ed from explosion the took chimney ; and was followed by flames; no after a few seconds the roof was thrown down, together with part of ono of the walls, whilst the three barrels. though somewhat injured, were found entire; so that the above-mentioned effect must be attributed merely to the pressure occasioned by the heat and the gas. In another series of experiments, a cartridge containing 38 desigms of gunpowder was introduced into a Prussian needle-gun. At a distance of 150 metres, the olive-shaped bullet went through a target composed of a piece of oak between two pieces o an aggr ega t e t hi c k ness o f a b or t a foot. The r' h fi esa f in rm eq in u g antity of gunpowder introduced into the gun without being rammed, simply fizzed and did not expulso the bullet. We understand that these experiments aro to be continued. ELECTRICITY.—An Austrian chemist, M. Leinel broek, has discovered a way of enclosing electricity in smell glass capsules which will explode under the in fluence of the slightest shock. The capsule is enclosed in a steel cone, so that, if shot from a rifle, it will enter _t . 14 . ? flesh, and the explosion which follows is sufacion h t or = a man.
