The money market continues to show symp toms of stringency, but no alteration has been made to-day in the charges upon which accommodation is granted. Brokers require fully 4 per cent. for the best short dated paper. In the Stock Exchange there is an abundance of capital on offer, at 3 per cent. The directors of the London Bank of Mexico and South America have made a call of £2 10s. per Blum, making £l5 paid, in order to meet the re quirements of the increasing business of the bank. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Thursday, the 17th inst., a special settling day Li the scrip of the Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Company, which is not to be marked In the official lists. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 6 7f. 90c. Demand. The English Stock Market has been dull and heavy, and at one time there was a decided tendency to a further depreciation. Very little business has been negotiated, and there appears to be great apathy on the part of investors. Consols for money are 891 it, and for the account 891 R.

American Securities show very little alteration in prices United States 5-20 Bonds are 681 ; Erie shares, 561 4 ; and Illinois, 76/ 77. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a very moderate scale, and prices generally have shown increased depression. Metropolitan have declined ; Great Northern A Stock 10s. ; and Great Western and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln each ss. ; while Midland has improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive, and without any material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous shares are dull.

This morning another of those great forgery cases, which of late have been of frequent occurrence, was en tered into by Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street, Police court. Two Frenchmen, named Augustin Francois Berral Ancenay, of 127, Gray's-inn-road, and Adrien Nicholas, of 4, Berwick-street, Soho, were brought before his worship, in custody of the detective police, charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, in the engraving and making certain plates for the fabrication of forged notes of the Bank of Russia, and also with having in their possession twenty-five divers plates of the same kind. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted on the part of the Russian Govern ment, and Mr. Edward Lewis appeared for Nicholas. Ancenay was undefended. Mr. Sleigh, in opening the case, referred at length to the particulars connected with the forgeries, and then pro ceeded to call the following witnesses : • Inspector Thompson, of the Detective Police Force, Scot land-yard, said—Yesterday I proceeded to Southleigh Lodge, Datchet, near Windsor, and found the house empty, and, with the sanction of the landlord, I searched it. In the back room up stairs I found two portions of a printing press. The room smelt strongly of acids, and there were stains on the floor. In a room down stairs I found two wooden cases. On opening one I found it to contain about 12 pieces of litho stone, amongst which I found the one I now produce with traces of drawing upon it. The other contained about eight pieces, and these stones have also traces of drawing upon them. I next opened a hamper, which I found filled with acids of various kinds. Some of them were wrapped in paper similar to that produced—a proof of bank note plate. I opened another case, a smaller one, and found different kinds of printing ink, of various colours. There was also in the box a quantity of pumice stone and sponges. I next opened a large case in the garden, and found it to contain a complete printing-press, of which I took possession. From inquiry I ascertained that a man named Ancenay had lived there, but had left. I then came to town, and last night I arrested Ancenay in Gray's-inn-road. I asked him if his name was Anconay? He said "Yes," and spelt it to me. I told him I was an inspector of police, that I had been to Datchet, and that I had searched Southloigh Lodge and opened sundry cases, and brought with me to London two plates such as are used in fabricating Russian notes. He replied, " I don't quite understand all this ; please tell me in French, and I did so." He then said, " I'll tell you all I know about it." I cautioned him with regard to making a state ment. He then made a communication to me to the fol lowing effect :—" I am one of the oldest lithographers in France. Several years ago two men came to me and en gaged me to make notes for the Government of Hungary. I came to London, and worked for a Mr. Day, and we fabricated notes to the amount of 290,000,000. We were then stopped by the Government, and I went to Paris. About two and a half years ago the same two gentlemen came to me and desired me to again make notes for them. J have been engaged with them in the business from that time to the present. On the Ist of June 1 wont to Southleigh Datchet. There I saw a gentleman who gave the name of Mascaras. By his direction I engraved plates. He said they were not good enough, and that he intended to try photography. I accordingly photographed several notes. The man left about a month ago, and as he had not paid him the prisoner left Southleigh Lodge and returned to London, having previously packed up the plates and material. I intended in a day or two to go to the Russian Ambassador and give myself up, as I knew we were all doing wrong." I asked him if he had any plates with him in London. He said, " I'm living with a woman, and she has some in her room." I went with the prisoner to No. 127, Gray's-inn-road. We went up stairs to the second floor back room, when he took from under the bed the wooden case produced, and gave it to me. It contained 13 negatives of a note of the Imperial Bank of Russia for 50 roubles. I then asked him if he knew where any of the other plates were. He said, " Yes ; there's ono of my friends in whose hands I have left two cases." I asked him where he lived, and he said, "No. 4, Berwick. street, Soho." I accordingly went there with him. Mr. Sleigh—Did he mention any name ? Witness—No, he did not. I went into the first floor front room, where I saw the prisoner Nicholas and his wife and children. The prisoner Ancenay said, "I have come for the boxes as it is important to send them to Paris to night." Nicholas said, "you are going to give them up then." Mr. Knox —In French or English. Wit ness —ln French. The prisoner Ancenay then took a box from under the bed, in which Nicholas assisted him. Nicholas then took the case now on the table of the court from the shelf. It contained photograph plates of the back of the notes, and on that box was attached with a piece of string the steel plate produced, on which also the prominent parts of the note were deeply engraved. It was packed in brown paper. I took possession of the property and told Nicholas that I was an officer of police, and that I should take him into custody for having the things in his possession. He replid, " I don't know what is in them." I said "I believe they contained forged bank notes." He said I've no knowledge of what they consist of ; I only took charge of them for my comrade, Ancenay." I told him it would be for the magistrate to decide that question. He was taken into custody. Mr. Sleigh—Does Nicholas ostensibly carry on any busi ness at his place of residence ? Witness—He told me he was a printer, and showed me some prints in his room. I saw pointed tools, suitable for engraving, on the table, but no printing press. Mr. Knox—What sort of box was it under the bed? Witness—A large one. it contained a great number of lithographic stones. I produce some more of the stones. Some were quite ready for printing. Mr. E. Lewis—The box was packed up ready for trans mission. It had also a seal on it. Ancenay said Nicholas knew nothing about what was in the box, but that he was perfectly innocent in the matter. Ancenay also told me he was in the employ of Messrs. Concannin and Co., the lithographers. A Russian gentleman, residing at 33, Victoria-road, Kensington, said—l am conversant with Russian money, and I have looked at the engravings and plates, and found them to represent Russian bank notes for 50 roubles. I know nothing of the prisoner Ancenay. Mr. R. Dunn, of Datchet, said—The prisoner Ancenay occupied a house of mine called South Leigh College. Ho lived there from last May till last Monday week. I knew he was going to leave the house for a time, but that he should return in a day or two. He never came back. A fortnight before he left a female, whom he called his neice, came there. I went into the house to see all was right, as I did not let the house to him, but to a person who gave me a very excellent reference. The house has been greatly damaged by some trade in which acids aro used being carried on there. Sergeant Druscovitch said-1 was present when both prisoners were taken into custody. I had a conversation with Nicholas. He made a long statement to me, the effect of which was that he knew Ancenay, but that he did not know the contents 'of the boxes. Mr. Sleigh—That is all the length which 1 propose to day, and I have to ask that you will remand for a week, as I said in my opening statement, Nicholas seemed to be entirely ignorant of the matter, yet the circumstances under which he was taken into custody compels me to ask that he bo detained in custody until the next examination. Mr. Lewis—lt is quite open for my friend Mr. Sleigh to make such a request, but I have to ask that Nicholas be either at once discharged or admitted to bail. Mr. Sleigh —I only want him detained in custody until certain inquiries are made. If it should turn out that there is nothing against him, I shall, of course, withdraw the charge at the next examination. Mr. Knox—l will only consent to take heavy bail to-day, two in £250 or one in £5OO. If the charge is true ho might run away 'from two £5OO sureties. Nicholas is either innocent, or ho is as thick in it as any of the other persons. Mr.Seigh—The man Mascaras is at present in the hands of the police in Paris. There are four or five persons in that country already tit custody iu connection with this matter. watch. Mr. Lewis—Such large bail as you require is tantamount to a refusal. Mr. Knox—That may be, but what would be said of me if I were to let these prisoners slip through my fingers. Mr. Sleigh—And what would be said of me as counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Knox—l will have serious and large bail. Further than that I wont go to-day. A gentleman from the firm of Concannin and Co. here came forward, and offered himself as bail for £5OO for Nicholas. Mr. Knox—l will order inquiry to be made respecting the firm, and then I will decide what I will do. The other prisoner was then remanded for a week. POLICE , INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—STRANGE CON DUCT OF A PROSECUTOR.—Margaret Jones, a young woman. was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing from the per son of Lieut. Robert B. Baldwin, of the 89th Regiment, a gold watch of the value of £2O. The prosecutor, who said he resided at Dover, deposed that as he was returning home that morning, having left Evans's about one o'clock, he stood by the Haymarket, and three girls, the prisoner being one of them, came up and spoke to him. After a short time one of them said they must be off, and directly after they left him he found his watch chain hanging down in front of him and his watch gone. lie was confident his watch was safe two minutes before. It was of the value of £2O. All the girls ran away as fast as they could ; but, as ho was positivs the prisoner was ono of them, ho went after her, and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the prosecutor's Sergeant Lees, 9 C, said that about 2 o'clock that morn ing ho saw the prosecutor run from the Haymarket to wards Great Windmill-street andknock down some females. fie went across, thinking it was some one assaulting them, and the prosecutor, who was intoxicated, told him that one of the females had stolen his watch, and he gave the pri soner into custody. The prosecutor behaved in a violent manner while at the station, and said that he had lost his watch between Evans's and the Haymarket. Mr. Knox inquired if the girls seemed to be running away, and the sergeant said they did not, and that the pro secutor knocked them down and behaved like a madman. Inspector Draper said that while at the station the pro secutor shouted loud enough to alarm the neighbourhood, and all that he could get from him was that he had his watch at " Evans's," and took it near Windmill-street. On asking the prosecutor some other questions, ho said it was no business of his (the inspector's), and that he would tell the magistrate all about it. Mr. Knox said it was impossible to detain the prisoner on such a charge. He would not only discharge her, but stated that if the prisoner applied to a solicitor the prose cutor would find himself in a very awkward position. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RE J. JOHNSTONE. This bankrupt (prisoner for debt) was described as a gen tleman of Upper Stamford, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting and proof of debts. Bankrupt states that ho owes £ll,OOO, but £9,000 is secured by an estate in Ireland, ho having made himself responsible for his father's debts to that extent. IN RE SOPHIA MOOR. This bankrupt, also a prisoner for debt, was described as a widow, and she was detained by a tradesman for the costs of an action which she had brought against him for false imprisonment, and in which she_was unsuccessful. The debts are but trifling, and an assignee was chosen. Serious Fire in Chiswell-street—(Tbis day). Shortly before 5 o'clock a fire broke out on the premise , ; of Mr. T. Hayward, confectioner, No. 55, Chiswell• street, St. Luke's, which nearly resulted in the loss of three lives. The policeman on duty, in going his rounds, dis covered the fire, and at once raised the alarm. The en gines from Whitecross-street, under the direction of Mr. Engineer Flynn, were promptly on the spot, as were also the fire escapes from Bunhill-row. The smoke at this mo ment was pouring out of the window, and nearly suffo cated the inmates. The conductor of the fire escape raised his machine, and rescued Mr. J. T. Gibbons, Mrs. Gib bons, and their son, front the second floor, amidst the cheers of all present, otherwise they must have been suffocated. Mr. Sheppard, of the New River Com pany, having procured a good ;supply of water from their mains, the steam fire-engines of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Company got to work in first-rate style. The flames after a time were got under, but not before considerable damage was done. The cause is at present unknown. The l)ss will fall on the Phoenix Fire Office. The second fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Hawten Myddleton-street, Clerkenwell, which also did very con siderable damage, and the inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. The cause is unknown. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The weather having become settled, and the progress of harvest work being satisfactory, the trade was decidedly less firm as compared with Monday. Factors, however, held both red and white qualities at that day's advance in prices ; but millers being unwilling to purchase except at some concession, say of 1s per quarter, the bulk remained unsold at the close of business. With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. The demand for all quotations ruled quiet, and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes of wheat met a slow sale at barely late rates. Spring corn, however, was firm in price. Very little barley was on offer. The trade was firm, at fully late prices. Malt changed hands at the late advance in the quotations. There was a good supply of oats on offer. Most descrip• tions were in steady request at full currencies. The trade for beans and peas was firm at fully late rates. About an average business Was transacted in flour, and Monday's currency was fairly supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

Mr. Stanford, of Charing-cross, has just pub blished a guide map to the constituencies of Eng land and Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, showing at a glance, by colours and statistics, the pre vailing party in the counties, Parliamentary boroughs, Cinque Ports, and universities ; the number of members for each constituency, the name and party of every candidate, and of each member of Parliament chosen at the late general election ; the number polled for each contested seat, the number of the registered electors, and the populatiob, according to the latest returns. On the map the names of the two great parties are denoted by colours, yellow and blue, the former signifying Liberal the other Conservative politics. The .general arrangement of the map reflects the greatest credit on the talented pub lisher. It will be found to be of general use, and also a welcome addition to the library of every public establishment and private gentleman, WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat on sale is moderate. The trade is slow, as follows : Beef, from 3s 4d to 4s 10d ; mutton, 4s 4d to 5s 10d ; lamb, 5s 4d to 6s Od; veal, Be 103 to 4e 10d; and pork, 3s 8d to 5s Od per 81bs by the carcase. The Nottingham Election Riots.—A Scene in the Town Council. At the quarterly meeting of the Council on Monday, Mr. Patchitt, chairman of the Finance Committee, said there was an item in the accounts of the last quarter of £l,OOO for the services of special constables, extra police, and military during the late election. Mr. Barber—Does that sum include the damages done by the rioters ? Mr. Patchitt—No. Mr. Cox said the Council had no right to pay money away to the magistrates in this way, and it appeared that £l,OOO was only the first item. Notting ham had been distinguished for scenes of electoral dis order and riot, but nothing like the proceedings at the late election had ever disgraced her annals. He then alluded to the case of Mr. Hedington, the late chief con stable, and to the letter he had published in the news papers, and said he doubted whether Mr. Hedington had received justice, though he would not say on which side. He (Mr. Cox) was the first to call attention to the irregu larities of the late chief constable, and he thought there ought to be a thorough inquiry. Mr. Hedington told him (Mr. Cox) that if he came into the town on the 26th of Juno his life would bo in danger, but he was unable to say who gave him the information. Mr. Bradshaw rose to order, declaring it to be unfair to attack a person who had no opportunity to reply. Mr. Cox—l have been put down by bullyism out of doors, but I am not going to be put down here by Tory interruptions. (" Order," and confu sion.) Mr. Annibal said Mr. Cox was doing an injustice to the chief constable. Mr. F. W. Parsons said the proceed ings were so irregular that he should leave the hall in disgust. He then put on his hat, Mr. Cox exclaiming, " The respectability of the company will be improved when you are gone." (Confusion.) The Mayor—l must have order, gentlemen. We cannot inquire into all the circumstances attending the late riots. The magistrates made an order on the town treasurer for the £l,OOO, and we have no control over them. Mr. Patchitt protested against Mr. Cox's irregular proceedings. Mr. Cox said if Mr. Hedington was present ho could take no part in the discussion. He argued that a great number of sufferers through the late riots had a right to have a government inquiry. He (Mr. Cox) had serious charges to bring against a magistrate, but where was he to pre . __ fer them. Other councillors rose to order, and Mr. Cox at length gave way, but before doing so gave notice of a motion for a Government inquiry to be asked for rela tiye to the late riots. Mr. Dickinson—l hope Mr. Cox will withdraw the blackguardly expression he made use of to Mr. Parsons. ("Order," and confusion.) Mr. Cox—Don't use any of your pot-house language here, Mr. Dickinson. Go into Coatpit-lane with it. (Renewed uproar.) Mr. Dickinson—l am not ashamed of keeping an inn. I may tell Mr. Cox that the young lady who keeps that house for me would not allow Mr. Cox to use the language which he is in the habit of using in other public-houses in the town. (Cries of "Oh," and confusion.) Mr. Cox—Mr. Parsons' conduct to me was offensive, and I will not withdraw the remark. A motion was then brought forward recommend ing the appointment of a stipendiary magistrate for the borough, allusion being made to the conduct of the magi strates .during the late election. The subject was ad journed to a future meeting. INFANT MORTALITY.—SHOCKING DEATHS FROM SUFFOCATION AND STARVATION.—TWO inquests were held upon the bodied of children in the City-road. In the first case Eliza Jarvis, aged seven weeks, was found dead by her mother's side in bed on Sunday morning, two other persons sleeping in the bed, a small one, at the same time. The second case was that of Eliza Cull, aged one year and four months, the daughter of very poor people, who died at St. Luke's Workhouse on Saturday from pre vious Etarvation. In the first case the jury returned a verdict of death from suffocation ; in the second, that the deceased died from effusion of serum on the brain. SERIOUS CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—On the after noon of Sunday, the wife of the Rev. Dr. Hannah, warden, Trinity College, Glenalmond, and Miss Cole, of London, were being driven in a phaeton from Inchbraikie to attend service in the Episcopalian place of worship here. When opposite the Crown Inn the horse, a spirited animal, became restive, and immediately ran off along the High street, at full speed. The vehicle capsized near James's.. square, and the ladies were thrown on the ground with great force. Mrs. Hannah by the fall had one of her legs broken, and was sadly cut and disfigured about the face, besides sustaining other injuries. Miss Cole fell above Mrs. Hannah, and escaped with a few slight bruises. The driver was dragged after the machine fully 20 yards, owing to his coat being entangled with the vehicle, but his injuries are not serious. The shaft of the phaeton snapped, and Mrs. Hannah's watch was smashed to pieces. Dr. Gairclner immediately attended to the injured lady, and she was removed back to Inchbraikie in the evening. —Scotsman. .THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT MILLWALL.--Yes terday Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for the county of Middlesex, received notice of the death of Charles Hayes, aged 21 years, a stoker, one of the unfortunate sufferers at the late boiler explosion on the premises of the Great Iron Steam Shipbuilding Company's Works at Millwall, whereby he sustained severe scalds over the body and limbs. He also had a long iron bolt forced through his leg by the violence of the shock. The poor fellow expired in great agony. John Wood, aged 30, a boiler makes, also died in the same ward of the institution from severe scalds and contusions on the body. THE EXPORTATION OF GUNPOWDER.—The de olared value of gunpowder exported in six months ending the 30th June last, as appears from accounts rendered to rtirliament, waq 4226,860. HEALTH OF LONDON.

AN AWKWARD LARk.—James Duvaney and William Shaughnessy, two young men in the garb of bricklayers, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing a carpet. Joseph Davis, furniture dealer, 25, South-street, Chelsea, said that, while he was out at a sale yesterday afternoon, . _ the prisoners stole a carpet from his door. He was in formed of the circumstance by a boy who had seen it, and the prisoners having been pointed out to him he gave them in charge. The boy in question said that he was standing opposite the prosecutor, when he saw the prisoner Duvaney, who came from a public-house opposite, snatch the carpet from some area railings, and walk away with it, with another man. There were four men altogether at the same house, and the prisoner Shaughnessy was one, but he was only walking before Devaney and laughing. When witness went after them they tilt ew the carpet at them. Prisoners had been drinking. _ Police-constable 220 B said he was called to the public house opposite the prosecutor's, where he found the pri soners, who were given in charge, Mr. Arnold (to prisoners)—Do you wish to say anything? Devaney—We did not intend any harm. We took the carpet for a lark. We had no idea of stealing it. Sha,nghnessy—l never touched the carpet. We had all been drinking and larking with one another. I was laughing at their throwing the carpet about, and when the boy came we threw it at him. We went back to the public house opposite the shop, and then were given into custody. Mr. Arnold—What aro you ? Duvaney—Hard working young men. We last worked for Mr. Trollope. We havo no idea of thieving. Mr. Arnold—Were these men sober, constable ? Policeman—They were not. Mr. Arnold—ls there any one here who knows the prisoners ? . _ _ Duvaney—None of our friends know we are here. Mr. Arnold-1 must remand you till to-morrow, when if any one'prove that you are hard-working, respectable men I may, as you had been drinking, consider this a lark, and treat it accordingly. I must keep you at present. MARYLEBONE. ALLEGED OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT ON A YOUNG GENTLEMAN BY A PARK CONSTABLE.—George Walters, who wore on his breast the Victoria, Cross and a Crimean medal with five bars, was charged on a summons with unlawfully assaulting Mr. Henry Percy Berry, a young gentleman re siding at 81, Adelaide-road, St. John's Wood. Mr. Johnson, solicitor, appeared for defendant, and In spector Caunt watched the case on behalf of the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Works. Complainant deposed that on the evening of July 20 he and some ladies and gentlemen had a boating excursion on the ornamental waters, Regent's-park. At 20 minutes to 9 the whole of the party went to one of the exit gates near the Zoological Gardens. The gate was locked, and accord ing to the statements made by some 20 people who were waiting to get out, it had been locked for some time. Being desirous that the ladies should not wait there for an indefinite period, he got over the gate, and as he was getting over a second gate for the purpose of going to the inspector's lodge, defendant came up, seized him by the throat, and after violently shaking him, said he should take him into custody and charge him with an assault. After offering the constable his card, which was rejected, he asked to be taken before Mr. Edwards, the superintendent, at North Lodge, but this was refused, and he was led to the police-station by defendant, another park constable, and a drunken cabman, who said he was a detective. On the way to the station he was kicked and knocked about in a most disgraceful manner, the result being his body and arms were bruised and his coat torn. On the following day he was charged before the magistrate for assaulting de fendant, and discharged. Cross-examined—H e did not know he was a wrong doer in getting over the gate. It was not true that he used any bad language, neither did ho strike defendant, or offer any provocation whatever, or resist in any way. Ho was perfectly sober at the time. Two well dressed young men, named Edward Castle and Mathias Milner, fully corroborated complainant's story. Both averred they were strangers to complainant. Mr. Johnson addressed the bench at considerable length, after which he called a cabman, named John Holder, who said he was a retired sergeant from the metropolitan police force. A little after 9 o'clock on the night of the2oth July he was passing by the North Lodge, Regent's-park, when he saw complainant and defendant struggling together. The latter called for his assistance, saying complainant had assaulted him. He did assist, and as the complainant not only used bad language, but was exceedingly violent, they were compelled to get the assistance of another park con stable before they could him to the station. On the way the defendant told complainant he was tearing his coat through his own violence, w hen the latter replied " and the co a t." He never saw a man exhibit more civility and forbearance than did defendant on this occa sion, and he never saw a man behave more violently than complainant did. John Woodgett, night watchman at the park, fully endorsed the evidence of last witness. Mr. Mansfield, in the course of a long summing up, said that when the young gentleman was brought before him on the charge of assaulting the present defendant, ho was of opinion then that the evidence given in support of the charge was a tissue of falsehoods, and therefore he dis missed the charge. On this occasion the complainant and his witnesses had given their testimony in a manner stamped with the impress of truth, and it was his opinion 'a most infamous outrage had been committed upon the complainant in hauling him through the streets in the ruffianly manner as described by the two young men called by the complainant. He could not adequately give ex pression to his feelings of indignation at the manner in which the cabman had given his evidence. in fact, from beginning end , it was a base li e an d fabrication. Defen dant or go to prison for on e month. must pay£4, THAMES. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—James Loving, a young man, who had been a hawker of wood, and often in custody, was brought before Mr. Paget on ft charge of breaking into the house No. 1, Gould's-hill, Shadwell. Mrs. Lccind Rudd; the wife of William Rudd, of No. 1, Gould's-hill, Shadwell, stated that at 15 or 20 minutes before four this morning she was aroused by the barking of dogs in hor yard, and on looking out of the window she saw the prisoner on the top of a shed, and about to step on to an outhouse. She asked him his business there, to which he made a very foolish reply. She called a police constable, and the prisoner was given into custody. In the witness said that a qanusawnteilt.ytooqf u m e • s e t t i° li n n s e b n y w M as r. u P p a o g n e l t ines in a yard adjoining her own dwelling, and the way the prisoner was going would lead him into the yard and enable him to carry away the linen. A police constable said he found the prisoner coining up the stairs of the house adjoining Mrs. Rudd's dwelling. The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour for stealing linen from the garden of a house in Stepney. Mrs. Rudd made a long and earnest appeal to the Magis trate to be merciful to the prisoner. It was very shocking to see a strong healthy youth in a felon's dock, and he had a mother to support, who was outside the court, and who was in much grief. She was a mother herself, and as a Christian woman wished the prisoner to be forgiven, and not cast into a prison. _ _ Mr. Paget said the sentiments and kindness of the pro secutrix were highly creditable to her, but he (the Magis trate) could not comply with her desires, and had a duty to perform to the public. The prisoner had admitted that all that was said against him was true, and it appeared he had been already convicted and sentenced to two months' im prisonment for stealing linen. That was doubtless the object of the prisoner this morning. He should now sen tence the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hardiabour, for being in an enclosed yard with the hateution of committing felony. French Academy of Sciences• At the last sitting a paper was received from M. Tournouer on the southern part of the asteria or star-fish beds of the basin of the Garonne, in the arrondissements of La Role and Marmande. This lime formation, with subordinate strata of Ostrea longirostris, rests on a lacustral lime-be d, containing other species, besides the Paloplotherium, which is to be found at Aubiac, near D u ras.on the border of the star-fish form ation, in the vicinity of Mon segur, interesting remains .of terrestrial vertebrata ar e found mixed up with marine ones, such as the Halitherium, Aceretherium, Dremo therium, etc. In the environs of Meilhan (Lotet-Garonne) there are nummulites and oper culines in vast numbers, forming a regular yellow sandy bed. M. Tournouer is of opinion that a portion of the tertiary strata near Vicenz should be detached from the lower tertiary formation, since it contains many organic remains not met with in the latter.—M. Fouque sent in a map of the eruption of Mount Etna in Feb., 1865, with the details of all the surveys, barometrical and magnetic readings, &c., taken by the author.— A letter was received from Professor Silvestri concerning the great earthquake which occurred on the 18th of July last at 10 p.m. near Catania in Sicily. Although upwards of 200 houses were destroyed within a belt of land about a kilo metre in breadth, and extending in a direction from W. to E., no shock whatever was felt at Catania itself.—M. Aucapitaine wrote to contra dict the opinion, first emitted by Bruce, then by Dureau de la Malle, and confirmed by Dr. Guyon, viz., that the Kabyles of the Aoures are the descend ants of the Vandals, having their white complexion, blue eyes, and light hair. The author of the letter contends that these same characteristics are to be met with among all the Berber tribes that inhabit the various mountainous districts of Tunis, Algeria, and even Morocco. In his opinion they are de scendants of the llyksos, who, coming from Asia, ravaged the valley of the Nile for a long time, and were at l e ngth driven further west. The Academy received a paper from M. Mantazzoli on the tri section of the angle, a question as likely to be solved as the quadrature of the circle. .It . was of course . rejected, it being one of those ridiculous subjects the Academy does not take notice of.

The Cholera in Italy, (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) GENOA, Aug. 4. The Movinzento says :—" Letters from Ancona represent a gloomy state of things in this city. On the Ist and 2d inst. the emigration of resident families, either to the country or the neighbouring provinces, commenced upon a vast scale. The panic was such that some of the frontier provinces were obliged to form sanitary cordons, in order to repel those who were endeavouring to enter the province." T4TRIN, Aug. 5. The military camps of Gluardo and San Maurizio have been broken up, the state of the public health being such as no longer to allow of so many men being assembled in one spot. The Diritto says on this subject :—" We are not aware why the camp of Son:ma , is not also broken up. The malady might there develop itself and would then be beyond remedy. it, is to be feared that the soldiers after all their hards Lips may still have to undergo perilous and long rnarcii;s before arriving at their destination. Some of them Live to go even as far as Sicily." According to the Italie, however, the camp at Somma continues in an excellent condition. "It is erroneous," says that paper, " to suppose that the camp is to be broken up. The troops will con tinue their exercises there during the period ap pointed. If the camps of Ghiardo and San Maurizio were recently discontinued, it was because the period had terminated during which the troops were to be under arms.

It's very poor fun, though, if you can only scramble and struggle, hold on by another, or shout for a life-belt. In such sad plight as this I fancy I sin just as well in shallow water, stagnant though it be, and a little muddy at bottom. To be rich enough for London means to bo able to enjoy the best society of Europe, in the midst of more material comforts than ever met together elsewhere. " Non conduit cuique" to live in Park-lane, however, and fortunately for us small minnows of the fish-pond, there are little pools and rivulets where we can disport ourselves very pleasantly, and where none of us is so ill-mannered as to hint at there being such creatures as whales. Now, though I cannot afford a box at the opera, I should like to go occasionally, of an extra night say; so I would be well pleased if fortune permitted me now and then to visit this marvellous place for a week or so, to cross over the great bridges—lounge in its parks—eat its fish dinners—hear a good debate in the House —or, better still, listen to a good dinner conversation, such as I have heard many lately. I certainly enjoyed myself more in England than I ever re member doing before; and I am graceless enough to believe that I owe it to myself, mainly at least, and for this reason, that I found there were scores of things which once on a time used to irritate and annoy that now vexed me no longer. Whether it was that when younger the current of life was more turbulent in its very buoyancy, or that a craving am bition to be something, or to do something, quite beyond me, left me restless and fevered, but so it was. I always found myself in London very cross that I was not rich, that I had not a house in Piccadilly and a seat in Parlia ment, that I was not so much sought after as this, or as much in request as that other ; in fact, that I was such a mere " waif " there was no one so poor as to claim me. Well, time has rolled on and made me no better—far from it, only so much older, more wayworn, and more stupid but, as a sort of compensation, it has made me more pa tient. I no longer fret that my place is below the salt; the fare is very good, after all, and scores of pleasant fel, lows, I well know how much better than myself, sit there also. Our own fault is it, if we keep our eyes on those at the head of the table, and long for the costly viands that are served to them; our diet is good and - wholesome, and very pleasant is the company who partake of it. . . • So far as my opportunities extended, I should say that they dine better in England than of yore, they talk better, and they dress better. I don't think the House of Com mons so eloquent as I once remember it ; and I am sure that the drama is just as dull, and the acting as intensely vulgar as ever ; but what is to be done with an audience who never laugh except at old jokes that they are used to, and must have their drollery, as infants have their food, made easy for mastication before it reaches them ?—Black wood's Magazine.
