MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOk. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The commercial classes are busily providing them selves with the accommodation required for the bills falling due on the 4th, and the Money Market is therefore very active. The supplies of floating capital are plentiful, but the quotations of the brokers are firm at 4-1 per cent. for the best bills. The directors of the National Bank of India have issued a report for the half-year ending 30th June presented to the meeting of shareholders at Calcutta 29th August. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per anaum is recommended, leaving a balance of 7,726r5. to be carried over, after increas ing the reserve fund by an addition of 52,000r5. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a further influx of £122,000, of which £1.08,000 was in bars, and £14,000 in sovereigns. From the accounts published by the Board of Trade, it appears that the imports of raw cotton during the past eight months have been largely in excess of those in the corresponding periods of 1864 and 1865. Subjoined are the particulars:— 1864, 4,670,000 cwts. ; 1865, 4,561,040 cwts. ; and 1866, 8,809,601 cwts. In Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been an absence of animation. Only a small quantity has changed hands, at about previous rates. For coffee the de mand has been limited, and prices have slightly given way. Rice has also been in less request, and at reduced prices ; while tallow has remained very inactive, at about previous quotations for both pre sent and forward delivery. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 22c.-:—Heavy. t In the English Stock Market there have been numerous dealings, but prices show no material variation. The Funds have been firmly supported at former values, and Consols are 891 1 for money, and 891 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 871 1; Ne 21 per Cents., 711; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. ; Bank of England StoCk, for account, 2411 ex div. ; India Stock, 211 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1041 105 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1001; ditto Debentures, 1011 ; and ditto Bonds, 20s. 245. prem. Very few movements of importance have taken place in the Foreign Stock Market to-day. Turkish 5 per Cents, are 311 1 ; Mexican, 161 4 ; Greek, 15; ; Spanish Passive, 221 231 ; the Certificates, 141 151 ; and Italian, 56/ 1. United States 5-20 Bonds have receded 1 per cent., to 691 701; Erie shares, however, have ad vanced 24, to 51 52 ; and Illinois 1, to 771 /. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures are steady at 65 67 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 46 47. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been been on a very moderate scale. Prices, how ever, are generally firm. North Stafford and Great Eastern have each improved £1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s ; and Great Western, ss. ; while London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Northern, each declined 10s. ; and South Eastern, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show little change of importance. Dutch-Rhenish are marked 19i ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian, 161 , Grand Trunk of Canada, 19/ f ; and East Indian, 1021102;. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain Very quiet. Consolidated are steady at 51 1 ; London and County, at 63 631 ; Anglo-American Telegraph have improved to 161 17 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. paid up to 1121 115 ; Telegraph Con struction and Maintenance to 161 ; while Na tional Discount Company have declined to 1f prem.

SURREY SESSIONS---This Day. (Before T. Tilson, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.) CHARGE OF STEALING TALLOW. George Morris and Robort Toocock, lightermen, were charged with stealing a cask containing 1,000 lbs. of Rus sian tallow, the property of William Joyce and Sons, lightermen and barge proprietors, at Shad, Thames, and in another count with receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Joyce appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley for the prisoners, both of whom pleaded not guilty. It appeared that the prosecutors were employed by the St. Katharine's Dock Company to bring to the docks 94 casks of tallow, which were on board a vessel called the Dweria, which wait lying in front of the wharf at Shad Thames. On the 28th of August last, two men in the em ploy of the prosecutors removed the casks into the barge William, where it was loft. On the 29th the barge drifted and sank, and the casks of tallow floated about the river, but 93 of them were recovered. The missing ono was supposed to contain the tallow which it was alleged was stolen by the prisoners. On the afternoon of the 29th of August Toocock and Morris were seen proceeding in the direction of Horsleydown, ono wheeling a barrow which had three bags filled with tallow. Suspicion being excited they were given into custody. Portions of a cask bearing the same brand as the other casks was found on board a barge, the property of Toocock's father. Mr. Lilley su')mitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury. The Deputy-Judge was of the same opinion. The law dealt very Vlerently with a case where property was merely lost and not actually stolen. The jury immediately acquitted the pi:sonor. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A MURDEROUS SCENE IN ST. GmEs's.--James APCaI thy, a labourer, was charged with violently assaulting Hannah Regan with a life preserver. The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said she lived at No. 5, Cho-eh-lane, St. Giles's, and between 9 and 10 last night he went into the Jamaica Stores publichouse, accompanied by a female friend. Directly afterwards the prisoner's wife and mother came in, and the former asked her if she would fight. She told the wife that she did not feel inclined for a fight then, and the wife then struck her, and they fought and fell together. The prisoner then came upend struck her on the head with a life preserver, and she fell senseless. She got up to make her way out, and on getting to the door the prisoner's brother took the life pre server from the prisoner, and struck her on the head with it, knocking her down senseless. She was afterwards at tended by a doctor, and the female who was with her gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said she was positive the prisoner's brother struck her with the life-preserver, but she did not see the the prisoner strike her, but the witness did. Elizabeth Sheehan, the complainant's witness, after corroborating some portions of the evidence, said the pri soner drew the life-preserver from under his arm, and struck the complainant. The prisoner's brother then said, " Sling it," and receiving the life-preserver from the pri soner, struck the complainant on the head. Police-constable House, 46 E, said the brother was then in court. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the complainant whether she wished to charge the brother with assaulting her, and on her stat ing that she did, the brother was taken into custody and charged, giving the name of Edward M'Carchy. The complainant having repeated her evidence, House, 46 E, said that on going to the spot he found the complainant covered with blood. Ho took the complain ant to the King's College Hospital, and James M'Carthy was taken into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho would remand the prisoner for a week to see whether the complainant died or not. The complainant said her life was in danger from the prisoner's friends. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ;f any ono molested her she was to come to the court for protection. MONTHLY PERIODICALS. BIACKWOOD.- 44 Sir Brooke Fossbroolce" is more welcome in its details in this instalment, because that very objectionable man Colonel Sewell seems to be declining in prosperity. He is a consummate villain iu his way of proceeding, and it is quite a relief to find his star on the wane. Mrs. Sewell also appears to great disadvantage here, and the other, gentle Lucy, is quite an agreeable contrast to her. We meet with accounts of back-stair influence, and certain little occurences take place which would not bear the light of day, but which, nevertheless, aro not without their due influence on public matters. Sir Brooke himself is a fine old man, and his long career of misfortune seems likely to be changed into good augury at last. " Concerning Salads and French Winos" is a sketch that is amusing and enter taining in its way, and contains many varied receipts for making salad. The conversations that ensue are very ludicrous, and it seems as difficult to come to a peaceful lecision or a unanimous conclu4on concerning salad-mak ing as anything else of a more 'mportant character. Much is said in favour of French wines by these learned dis putants ; but we trust that the good-will between England and France may be strengthened by other and more effectual means than the importation of claret into this country, for it never will become a favourite hero. " Light And Dark Blue" is a suggestive sketch, and it is truly state' that if you take two well-educated Englishmen, and intro duce them to each other, an& leave them to their own devices to entertain and make conversation, there is one question pretty sure to pass between thorn, " Are you Ox ford or Cambridge ?" Some of the reflections at the con clusion are very deserving of attention. It is asked if no mode can be adopted, with the great wealth of our col leges, " for making some of them available for the reduc tion of college expenses to those who require it, and so opening their advantages to a larger class." " Nina Balatka, the Story of a Maiden of Pragte," is as intricate as ever. Her adventures are very strange and exciting, and sh e seems left to herself in a very extraordinary manner to carve out her own fortune. "Alison's History of Europe,' 1851-2, is an elaborate article, which does full justice to the subject. It is well remarked that the "reputation of Alison is a growing reputation," and he may discern the approving verdict of posterity in the signs of the present day. "lie does not write in the interests of any class, or to humour the public of the present day, and he will reap the reward of enduring,fame." "Lectures on the History of the Jewish Church,n: by the Dean of Westminster, are here considered. T wo,only as yet of the three volumes are before the public ; the criticism hero passed upon them is not a favourable ono, on account of their being too hesi tating and uncertain in their treatment of religious matters. Cornelius O'Dowd is chiefly occupied this month in consi dering the German War. TEMPLE BAR.—" , Lady Adelaide's Oath" is pro ceeded with at some length, and it is very eventful. iu this portion. We meet with several details. of interest. Lord Dane has the audacity to take pos session of all the goods which had been cast up by the sea, and especially of a certain box which had boon claimed by the American who escaped shipwreck. The gradual way in which Lord Dane is sinking down into infamy is very well described, and he is evidently working out his own destruction by the course ho pursues. No doubt this box contained proofs which were not very agreeable to the haughty nobleman, and therefore ho stooped to the mean trick of concealing it. " Archie Lovell " also attracts notice on account of the stage which it has reached. Archie is in sad trouble, more so in fact than Gerald himself, who is brought before the magistrates on a charge of murder. This is a very effective point in this story, for it shows in a forcible manner what evils accrue to those who take a wrong step. That may pass by un noticed at the time, or indeed not be found out at all, but sooner or later the day of retribution will arrive, and woo betide the luckless offender then. It Soton is a fine, straightforward character, and gives Archie the best pos sible advice under the circumstances. "Fail coque dois : advienne quo pourra"is indeeda noble maxim, and one that ought to be much more extensively acted on than it is. There would be far less of sin and suffering in the world if all acted on the principles of Major Seton. " Truth un compromising, unwavering, is the only rule of life that I have ever known to answer either for man or woman. If pride and self respect and family honour had to be main tained by sacrificing it; they would not, I should imagine, be worth holding any of them." There is something ori ginal in this tale which attracts notice, and makes it appear out of the common. A " Tale of the War" is a curious sketch, which is effectively told. It ends sadly enough at last. " Through Somerset" is a very pleasing little sketch, which furnishes us with some good descriptions. The reminiscences of Bath are inte resting, and there aro some pretty verses en the city of "thermal fountains." The "weird and wandering echo of its abbey chimes" haunts the traveller in foreign parts, and he is glad to recur to the scene of former days, though twenty years have altered many things. An entertaining account of Bristol is given, and it is said that among the people of Bristol there is a quaint hereditary tendency to blunder. They aro full of "energy, strength, and daring, but they miss their opportunities." Foreign scenes aro not forgotten, for we meet with the records of a Iritlit to the Mound Praries, taken from. V.....ootavor'a 'amid. "A Ramble on Salisbury Plain" is another agreeable sketch, and an excellent article appears on "Cant." Some of the advice given is well worthy of regard by all. For poetical contributions we have an effective sketch called " The Magic Mere," and a Spanish tale, entitled "Hugo the Bastard." CORNIIILL.—" The Claverings" is continued, and matters seem to be nearly approaching a crisis. Lady Ongar displays a good deal of sense and spirit, but she is in too difficult a position to extricate her self with anything like success. Perhaps the indi vidual who conies out to the most advantage in this number is Theodore Burton. His downright manner is quite a relief after all the subterfuges to which some resort in the furtherance of their schemes. In all probability wo shall meet with Some striking occurrences in the next instalment. " The Village on the Cliff " is likewise con tinued, but not very satisfactorily in point of narrative ; though the style story is very charming. The scenes in the French life of the heroine are described most delight fully, and the reader feels inclined to wander among the fair scenes so temptingly put before him. Miss St. George is ono of those gentle little creatures who seem to deserve a kind fate, and yet to moot continually with an adverse one. " Presentiments " is an article that will most likely attract attention, for it treats of a subject that interests all, more or less. It is truly said that we may lay it down as a rule that the essence of A, true presentiment is that it shall be spontaneous." Many curious instances are given of this kind of feeling prevailing among people in certain cases, and with more or less similitude, to after-events, as the sequel proved ; and on the whole a wise conclusion is arrived at when it is said that " we cannot safely be guided by presentiments till we have the means of knowing when they are genuine, and this we cannot know; but we may do something to wards knowing it, and by means of that wo may all steer a course between the danger of blind subservience and blind mistrust." " Naval Men" refers to a want that has boon often before acknowledged of our acquaintance of the difference occasioned by professional divisions, and naval men aro indeed notably distinct and separate. They are trained for their employment; as is well put here, " they aro bred in their profession,'while other people are bred for theirs." Some noteworthy remarks are made at the con clusion of this article, which contains anecdotes of many characters of eminence. It is said that when wars aro dis cussed as possible, we always hear of our " naval defences," never of our "naval attacks." Other navies are spurring up to contest the palm with us, and "meanwhile a painful uncertainty prevails as to what modern changes really amount to, and whether the odds are against us or not; and, along with all this, there is a growing party, who tell us that we must never attempt to be even the first naval power in the world again: What wonder then, we say, if naval men aro ill att,:?.se, and less like the light-hearted British tars of other times? If this bo so, the proper course for their countrymen is to consider in what way any grievances they have can best be remedied, and to encou rage them by that hearty confidence in their future which is inspired by every phase of their long past. " A Night on the Ortlor Spitz" presents us with details of exciting adventures, which were often most pefilous. " Sister Leucathea" is a melancholy reminiscence of convent life, which possesses, however, a fascination in its exciting de scriptions. "Clough's Life and Poems" may be entertain ing to some, and it is affirmed of him that "if we seek to affiliate Clough to his legitimate predecessors in English literature, we shall find that he descended lineally from Wordsworth. Beth belonged to the lovers and observers of nature in all her works, philosophical thinkers, and liberal politicians, who form the flower of English literary men. " The Peace Conflicts of India" furnish subjects for reflection. FRASER.—" Notes on Florence," which first greet the reader on opening this number, gives an agree able picture of life in the new capital of the Italian kingdom. The moderation of the charges for dotnestic necessities and pleasures is something marvellous, and render it not surprising that four thousand crowns is reckoned a good Florentine income, equal to as many thousand pounds iu the hands of an Englishman. It is a lively paper, dealing more with the social aspects of the fair city on the Arno, though a little of the political element is necessarily mingled. " The Indian Civil Service " is the next topic discussed, and it is ono that in these days is of considerable importance. The whole question of the advantages and disadvantages of an Indian career is entered into fully by one who is familiar with it, but is by no moans inclined to paint the picture in too attractive colours. Ile sums up his judgment as fol lows: —" The total of the account will then stand thus : An Indian career in the civil service holds out a certainty of good pay, honourable position, fair pension, and reason able independence. But those secular advantages aro pur chased by twenty-two years' actual exile, by loneliness and isolation, by the endurance of the numberless trials of a tropical climate, by the chances of death or of impaired health and energy, and by the urge than chance 91 sepra tion from children and wife. The disadvantages aro so manifold as to outweigh the solid benefits, and we feel quite certain that any measure tending to lower the emoluments or curtail the privileges of the Indian civil service would still more diminish the number of candi dates for admission to that body." With regard to the system of competition, the writer says that it has now been tried for eleven years, and that while it excludes dull ness and incapacity, suchas could formerly pass through Haileybury, its best candidates are not superior to the b e st men formerly appointed. Still this is something gained' and a further experience may improve upon the result. Two very ell-written and readable articles follow each other closely—" On Living in Perspective," by the author of "John Halifax," and "On the Education of Girls by a Utopian." The first of these, though brief, is suggestive, and gives some very plain, straightforward advice to many self-tormenting rnm ',al& By living in perspective is meant simply living according to the rules of moderation and good sense, with that perception of the relative fitness or things which will prevent virtues from running into vice, gene rosity from becoming extravagance, economy from dege nerating into parsimony, devotion from passing into idolatry, industry from sinking into a complete absorption in business. it may easily be seen hew wisely and kindly the author of "John Halifax" handles such a subject, and the pre-Raphaelite picture which suggests her musings may form a very apt illustration for the lives of too many well-meaning but one-sided people.. "On the Education of Girls" is likewise a very sensible and profitable paper, though it discusses a somewhat threadbare subject. It no longer requires " a Utopian " to argue in favour of a solid training for the female sex, though the full advantages of such a system are as yet but imperfectly recognised. The arguments brought forward in this paper are ceilainly conclusive, and they are enforced by several examples. The remarks on schools and colleges at the end aro just and suggestive. Very much remains to lie done in this matter of girls' education ; but something is already gained, since it is now generally admitted that it requires more than the fact of wanting to gain a decent livelihood to qualify a teacher for her ardu ous and responsible office. " Em's First and Last Lodger" is the title of a story which possesses two very great merits; one is a claim to originality, and the other the unusual attraction of beginning and ending within the compass of one number. The author has contrived, notwithstanA ing, to sketch his characters with some care, and to intro duce several incidents, so that it is to be hoped his,suc cess will inspire other story writers to follow his desirable example. There remain several other articles of varying merits and interests, and the number is altogether congi durably above the average. THE SUBURBAN MAGAZINE.—,This is a pleasant, l'vely miscellany enough, although somewhat flighty occasionally. As it is a new corner it must not be hardly judged, and is very well calculated for what it apparently aims at—beguiling the hour spent in passing to and from the centres of business and the metropolis. THE FLORAL WORLD.—Here we have, as usual, plenty of good advice and interesting comment for the botanist, the market gardener, and the floral amateur. The two latter may learn something from its hints on the best modes of coltivation, and the new plants most in vogue, but the language is rather too learned for the general reader. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER.—This serial has a good deal of scientific discourse and instruction, though it is not exclusively devoted to abstruse study. There are two sensible and suggestive papers, which do not at all necessitate very learned tastes to appreciate and profit by. Ono is on " The Street Archi tecture of London," and is deservedly severe upon some of our ambitious attempts. The other is on " The Family Life of the Middle Classes," and shows, in very strong colours, a great deficiency in our domestic circles. Micro scopic research and natural history occupy, as usual, a considerable portion of the strictly scientific contents. THE ENGLISH MECHANIC.—We have here a scientific and industrial magazine of a standard character, very well calculated for the information of skilled workmen, whose comprehension of the narratives will be much assisted by the illustrated diagrams Female Fashions for October. (From Le Follet.) The tendency to simplicity which just now characte rises la mode—above all, la mode Parisienne—is almost unprecedented in tho annals of fashion. The most elegant dresses are at the watering places, so that toilettes do ville are, for the time, little talked of. Preparations for winter are being made, but are scarcely sufficiently advanced for us to speak of in a very decided manner, except in a few general remarks. Ono topic of interest is the fact that all acknowledge the groat probability that short dresses will be adop'ed for out-of-doors wear, though we believe no lady of elegance will give up the long, graceful-trained skirt for at home or evening dress. Of course, short dresses necessitate a very small cage—so small, indeed, that they cannot be recognised as such. Still a total absence of cri noline would produce a remarkably moan effect. Just enough is required to prevent the dress from clinging. . Another fact may be confidently affirmed,, that the pep lum wll maintain its rank in the realms of fashion. It will be made of satin trimmed with lace, of ,velvet embroidered with beads, &c. Speaking of peplums, we must not omit to describe the peplum ceinture. It is made to imitate the whole peplum, and is a very econom?cal and convenient fantasie. Three wido bands of material are cut about a quar ter of a yard in width. The middle one is in a point forming a V ; those at the side are the same width and length, but cut in a bias point. The three ends or basques are joined together at the top, and fastened to the ceinture• This may be trimmed with passementerie, guipure, &a. Long sashes, very wide, with large coques or rosette bows, are much worn, with evening dress especially. They are tied behind. They are worn either with the peplum or with high or low body. Ribbons for these aro made either plain, watered, or with velvet, and of satin for moire or taffetas dresses. Cluny lace, embroidered with straw, is a trimming much patronised for muslin dresses, vestes, or tuniques. Many charming trimmings aie made for these simple toilettes. Others we may also mention, such as Cluny embroidered with dewdrops, on a moire corsage ; with ribbon embroi dered with beads, and edged with fringe to match.. For a saute-en-barque, guipu:.e with white or black beads, hang ing ornaments, balls, tassels, silk or woollen network, gold cords, chenille worked with steel, &c. The small cachemire paletot, so much in favour last spring, is decidedly again the favourite for this season; it is no longer, however, embroidered all over with beads — that has become rather common—but it is trimmed with bands of galon or cachemire, worked with beads. If the cachemire be of a pale colour, the beads are frequently white—for instance, a paletot of turquoise blue, with white beads—black cashmere with black beads being the most suitable for mourning or general wear. Beads have been worked into such a variety of forms that it scarcely seems possible to make any novelty in them, though they are still much in vogue. A new style of trim ming is, however, being manufactured, which it is supposed will be greatly approved of. It is composed of cut cache mire of divers shades, embroidered in black silk. We must devote a short space to the subject of lingerie, which is now so important, including not only sleeves, collars, cuffs, &c., as formerly, but those charming white morning toilettes, indispensable to a lady of fashion. We will describe one, and with this commence our monthly list of dresses. It is made of percale long robe with a train, without plait or waist, quite high to the throat, and fas tened all the way down the front with small filigree silver buttons. Sleeves and casques fastened with buttons to match. If the robe is of muslin—material more suited for dejeuner or at-home dress—a small corselet of blue, green, or gold-coloured satin should be worn with it, with sleeves of the same, having small jockeys of embroidered muslin, trimmed with lice, and the front of the skirt trimmed with rosettes of the same coloured satin, and looped up on each side over a petticoat with embroidery and Cluny insertions. A toilet of drab poplin. Under skirt cut round tho bot tom-in long tabs, trimmed with black velvet worked with thick white beads. The upper skirt is shorter, and trimmed to match. The seams are covered also with a beaded black velvet. Fitting casaque, the same material, with a ceinture with long festooned ends, and buckles at the back and on the shoulder of velvet and beads. A toilette of taffeta; of two colours. Violet under skirt, trimmed round the bottom with a wide flounce put on in hidden plaits. The upper skirt of pearl-grey taffetas, fes tooned and edged round with black guipure. Body of vio let taffetas, made in high chemisette style, with hollow plaits and sleeves trimmed with guipure. For pardessus, a vest without sleeves, of pearl-grey trimmed like the upper skirt. Peplum with tassels of thick violet silk. A dinner dress of pale drab taffetas with the four front seams covered with white guipure insertion over biases of mauve taffetas. Tight body, with sleeves ala Juive, under-sleeves and collantes. Evening dress of embroidered Indian muslin, looped up on each side with blue silk cords over a skirt of blue taffe tas. Low body, with large basquine, embroidered and fes tooned like the skirt. The autumn bonnets have not altered visibly in shape only in the materials used. Thus, a chapeau " Lamballe,' of black lace worked with jet. At tho back, a conquille of lace, fastened by a band of jot, forms a small curtain. At the side a bunch of cornflowers or ponceau velvet, with a spray of silvered leaves. Wide strings of ponceau, covered with black lace. A charming coiffure—we cannot venture to call them bonnets—was formed of a square of black tulle, trimmed with daisies of black jet, and ed g ed with a fringe of jet. Tbo barbes of black lace, wh ich are ver.7 wide, are fastened loosely under the chin with an ornament of jot or small moss-rose buds ; a large moss rose on one side, and lon g bows of black ribbon falling over the back hair. VALUABLE DISCOVERY. --A gold ornament, dis covered, in excellent preservation, by a workman employed in drainage works in the parish of St. Juliet, Cornwall, about five foot from the surface, has within the last few days been sold for £5O. WESTMINSTER. A FRIGHTFUL PICTURE.—A shirtless and shoeless child, with scarcely a rag to cover him, was, to the su pulse of all present, charged before the presiding magistrate. Mr. Arnold—What is this child's age ? Policeman— Seven years. Mr. Arnold—Are any of his fi:euds here ? Policeman—His father is. Mr. Zeboye, surgeon, Belgrave-road—l found this child begging last evening at 8 o'clock, and looking at his age and his condition, I thought it VCly pitiable, and, as an act of charity, had him brought to the station. Mr. Arnold—What has the child's father to say to this ? The Father, a br:cl - layer,:namod Pendegrast —I can't do no goof with the boy—he is always knock'ng about the streets, and sleeps out for nights together. Mr. AI cold—Have you any other children ? Father —Three more —two younger than him. Mr. Arnold—You might surely put a shire on the ch'ld Father—lt wou'd be no good—it would soon all be to rags, either iu the new building or down by the water side. Mr. Arnold —I shall. send this poor ch:ld to an industi:u school for three years, and you will have to assist 5u main taining him. Adjoemed for necessary arrangement. MARKETS.--This Day. HAY.

Last evening the hon. secretaries of the Volunteer Committee received a telegeam from Brussels stating that at its sitting yesterday the Conseil Communal of that city fixed the commencement of the anniversary fetes, postponed from last month, for the 12th inst., and the reception of the foreign Riflemen for the evening of the 11th. The Tir National will be opened on the 12th, and the shooting and the enter tainments to wl•'ch the Volunteers are invited will extend over several days. It is believed that the reception of the Volunteers wi". be witnessed by the King and Royal family; and it is skated to be the intention of his Majesty to nominate the Lord Mayor of London, Lord Elcho, Lord Spencer, and Colonel Colville Commanders of the Order of Leopold. The fetes will be even more splendid than was originally intended ; and from the number of fresh applica tions for entry tickets it is believed that the Volun teers will muster in much greater force at Brussels than they would have done if the visit had taken place last month. Indeed such is the demand for hotel accommodation that the hon. secretaries are most anxious that Volunteers who have taken tickets but cannot go should intimate the fr?l as soon as possible by communication to the committee, at their office, 79, Basinghall-street. Up to the present time not a dozen of the entire number of Volunteers who took tickets lastmonth have applied for a return of their money. It has been determined to close the lists at noon on Friday next. Accounts received by the committee yesterday state that the cholera has disappeared from Brussels. THE NEW CONSERVANCY ACT.--Colonel E. W. Harcourt (one of the Harcourts of Nuneham) has announced his intention to become a candidate for the post of conser vator of the Thames under the new Thames Conservancy Act. There are four elected members of the new board, and Colonel Harcourt is the first in the field for the office. The Emperor Napoleon has caused himself to be inscribed as an exhibitor of the 10th class at the Great Exhibition of 1867. That class comprises ameliorations of the mord and physical state of man. His Majesty has designed a model for a workman's house, which to lowness of price unites all the accommodations desirable and the conditions required by the public health. By paying a moderate rent, one part of which would be devoted to a kind of sinking fund, the tenant would in a few years become the proprietor of the house, such being, in his Majesty's opinion, ono of the surest methods of instilling habits of order and economy in the working classes. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—The three cables in the Channel, which were broken by ships' anchors during the recent gales, have boon repaired, and the telegraph communication between England and France, and England and Belgium, is re-estabiished by all the company's cables. It is deserving of notice that those cables wore repaired in the course of ono week, showing how easily telegraph cables can be repaired in suitable weather, such as that which has prevailed during the last PALIQ 9E ton days. 124 31i 41 20-1 191 118 11 833 3 56 100 94 1621 103 j 3 f BRECON ELECTION—This Day. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gwyn 124 Lord Churchill Mr. G wyn's return is certain The Common Kingfisher, - (From Routiedge's Illustrated Natural Ilistory.) [CONCLUDED]. Tho nest of the Kingfisher has long boon known to con sist of the bones, scales, and other indigestible poi .;ions of the food, which aro ejected from the mouth in "castings," like those of the hawk or owl ; but until Mr. Gould recently procured a perfect K'ngfisher's nest, its shape and the manner of construction were entirely unknown. Ills ac count of its discovery, and the ingenious manner in which it was procured, is so interesting that it must bo given in his own words. " Ornithologists are divided in opinion as to whether the fish-bones found in the cavity in which the Kingfisher deposits its eggs aro to be considered in the light of a nest, or as merely the castings front the bird during the period of incubation. Some are disposed to consider these bones as entirely the castings and faces of the young brood of the year before they quit the nest, and that the same hole being frequented for a succession of years, a great mass is at length formed; while others believe that they are deposited by the parents as a platform for the eggs, constituting, in fact, a nest; in which latter view I fully concur, and the following are my reasons for so doing:— " On the 18th of the past month of April, during one of my fishing excursions on the Thames, I saw a hole in a precipitous bank, which I felt assured was a nesting-place of the Kingfisher, and on passing a spare top of my fly rod to the extremity of the hole, a distance of nearly three feet, I brought out some freshly-cast bones of fish, con vincing me that I was right in my surmise. Ou a sub sequent day, the 9th of May, I again :sited th ) spot with a spade, and after removing nearly two feet square of the turf, dug down to the nest without disturbing the entrance hole or the passage which led to it. Here I found four eggs placed on the usual layer of fish-bones ; all of these I removed with care, and then filled up the hole, beating the earth down as hard as the bank itself, and replacim; the sod on the top in order that barge-horses passing to and fro might not put a foot in the hole. A folLnight afterwards the bird was seen to leave the hole again, and my suspicion was awakened that she had takon to her old breeding-quarters a second time. " The first opportunity I had of again visiting the place, which was exactly twenty-one days from the date of my former exploration and tqking the eggs, 1 again] passed the top of my fly-rod up the hole, and found not only that the hole was of the former length, but that the female was within. I then took'a large mass of cotton wool from my collecting-box, and stuffed it to the extremity of the hole, in order to preserve the eggs and nest from damage during my again laying it open from above. On removing the sod and digging down as before, I came upon the cotton wool, and beneath it a well-formed nest of fish bones, the size of a small saucer, the walls of which were fully half an inch thick, together with eight beautiful eggs and the old female herself. This nest and eggs I re moved with the greatest care, and I now have the pleasure of exhibiting it to the Society, before its transmission to the British Museum ; the proper resting-place of so inter esting a bird's nest. The mass of bones then, weighing 700 grains, had been cast up and deposited by the bird, or the bird and its mate, besides the unusual number of eight eggs, in the short space of twenty-one days. To gain anything like an approximate idea of the number of fish that had been taken to form this mass, the skeleton of a minnow, their usual food, must be carefully made and weighed, and this I may probably do upon some future occasion. I think we may now conclude, from what I have adduced, that the bird purposely deposits these bones as a nest ; and nothing can be better adapted, as a platform, to defend the eggs from the damp earth." The Kingfisher, if unmolested, soon learns to be fami liar with man, and has no hesitation in carrying on the daily affairs of its life without heeding the near presence of a human observer. I have known a Kingfisher to sit upon a projecting stone that overhung a stream running at the foot of a garden, and to permit the owners of the garden to watch its proceedings without exhibiting any alarm. If managed properly, this interesting bird will so far extend its confidence to man as to become partially domesticated, speedily rivalling the robin or the sparrow in the bold familiarity of its manners. One such bird, that was tamed by a friend, owed its domestication to the loss of its parents. Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day. The market opens very strong.

NEWMARKET. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and three-quarters this morning, and Achievement not quite a mile, the pa;r of them looking and moving uncommonly well. Breeze followed Tourmalin a couple of miles, and Janitor took Lothario a similar distance. Il Re Galantuomo led Paris nearly two miles, and the Derby colt Fitzroy followed them a portion of the way: King Charming had a gentle two mile. spin. Bombastes was walking, but Julius, Opoponax, and Pericles galloped three-quarters of a mile fast. Ostregor led Aeta3a a mile aucl,a half clipping, and the latter looks good enough for a place investment in the Cesarewitch. Thermometer and Miss Fanny also galloped. Leybourne led Sealskin nearly two miles. Eakring was absent. Nu goes very short. Medina took good exercise, as did Peon. Duke of York had a nice long gallop, and goes very free, Jennings had Gladiateur bowling along again. smartly ; and he gave La Favorite, Imperator, Dragon, Trocadero, and Bayonnette plenty. Har lock's team of Lord Glasgow's horses did very little. Broomielaw galloped a mile and a half, as did Out and Outer, but Sultan and Saccharometer did a mile and a quarter only, yet very fast.
