101\TE-Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENGB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 118 Money M ar k e t is firm, and so far as the Bank is concerned tolerably active. For the moment there is a disposition on the part of discounters to limitationlll4 t heir operations, but the influx of gold and the of trade must very soon lead to a reduc 'ea in the value of money. E n Tie re is still a flow of gold into the Bank of ft :g l,l and ; bars, representing £86,000, were taken Z e re:yesterd ay , an d 13,000 sovere i gns —the latter '4.0111, the United St a t e s.

Th e movements of the precious metals during the past week have been of an extensive character, a :, in g to large arrivals from New York, Australia , the continent. The imports have amounte d to ab-' „ °llt i 1,559,876, while the exports, consequent 11 von large remittances to the continent through l ' at e sources, estimated at a tont £860,975, have ell to the extent of £1,042,950. hThe Cuba has ar r ived from Boston with £ 329 , 985 , "m gold. Two O'CLOCK. ch til llness has prevailed to-day in the Stock Ex haall,ge markets, and comparatively little business u een negotiated. Sales, however, have been madevcr to close accounts as usual at the end of the st, e „ e ' and as the war feeling on the Continent is ril -- a n glY in the ascendant, a few speculators have 801 7 e ,their appearance to operate for a fall.

It is stated that one of the largest shipbuilders in the neighbourhood of Greenock, who has a number of vessels for a German company, is about to send his ships across to Germany to be fitted out. Another vessel, which is in hand for Messrs. Burns's Belfast mail service, will, it is said, be sent to Liverpool in order to be finished there.

(Sittings at Nisi Priusbefore Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) PERINAWSKI V. FREEMAN AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor at the West-end, against the defendants, who are house sur geons at St. George's Hospital, for alleged improper treat ment, to which the defendants pleaded not guilty. From the evidence of the plaintiff and some of his wit nesses it appeared that some months since ho was suffer ing severely from piles, and he obtained admission into the hospital, and was placed under the treatment of the defend ant. He was forcibly subjected to sitting over scalding water according to his statement, and he sustained serious injuries in consequence. A MERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CUBA. The Royal Mail steamer Cuba, from Boston and Halifax, arrived at Queenstown at 3.45 p.m to-day (June 15). She brings 246 passengers and $1,649,927 in specie. She landed 100 sacks of mails and 30 passengers," and proceeded imme diately for Liverpool. - All well. (Via Roche's Point.) - ' NEW YORK, June 5 (Evening). The Fenians at Fo r t E r i e b eing prevented from receiving reinforceme n t s b y F e d e ral picket boats, evacuated that place before daylight on the morn ing of the 3d inst., leaving 32 men on picket duty, who were captured by the Canadians. 400 Fenians, including O'Neil and a number of other officers, were captured by the Federal boats, and are now held prisoners at Blackrock, under the guns of the Federal steamer Michigan. General Meade arrived at Buffalo on Sunday night, and ordered General Sarny to seize all arms intended for the use of the Fenians. _ _ The reports of the number of killed and wounded in the fight at Ridgway are conflicting—only six Canadians are positively reported killed. Five Fenians are reported to have been tried by drum head court-martial at Fort Erie on Sunday, and shot on Monday. The Fenians are stated to be moving in large bodies towards the frontier. They are concentrating opp os it e an d threatening Mon treal, Cornwall, Pres co tt , an d Kingston. The Federal District Attorney h as o rdered the vessels guarding the St. Lawr ence Ri ver to sink any boat attempting to cross with F en i ans o n board. The Fenians are in large force near Saint Albans, Vermont. 30 of them seized arms in a private store at Watertown, and cArried them towards Potsdam. General Meade sent troops to intercept them. Armed Fenian vessels have left Chicago, Detroit, and Erie. British regulars and volunteers are arriving at all exposed points of the frontier in large numbers. No further danger from raids is to be apprehended. 5,000 Fenians are reported to be on the St. Lawrence, mostly at Malone, Potsdam, and oppo site Montreal and Edwardsburg. They have no artillery and are poorly armed. Numbers were arriving yesterday, but to-day it is said many are seeking to return. 1,000 left Fairfield, and 1,800 left Highgate yesterday, all going towards the border. The inhabitants of St. Armaud's have re moved their valuables to Montreal. General Meade is at Ogdensburg.. Recruiting has progressed vigorously among the Fenians in large cities. On Tuesday and Wednesday 2,000 were enrolled at New York. Large contributions have also been made to the Fenian treasury. It is, however, generally considered that the ac tion of the Federal authorities will cause a per manent and immediate abandonment of the Fenian scheme for the invasion of Canada. Stephens is in Washington. NEW YORK, June 7 (Evening). President Johnson has issued a proclamation against the Fenians. In this document he ad monishes all good citizens against aiding 'Or coun tenancing the expedition being carried out by evil disposed persons from Federal territory against the British colonies, in violation of the laws of the United States and the law of nations. Ile expects the national officials to employ all lawful power to arrest and bring to justice all such persons, and has empowered General Meade to employ the Federal land and naval forces to prevent the carrying on of the said expedition. • General Sweeny was arrested at St. Albans last night by the Federal authorities ; and Roberts, the President of the Senate faction, was arrested in New York to-day by the Federal Marshal. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of other prominent Fenians. • The Fenian prisoners at Buffalo were released on Tuesday, the men on their own recognizances and the officers on bail, to appear when required, and answer the charge of a violation of the neutrality laws. • Various seizures of Fenian arms and supplies by the Federal authorities are reported. The Fenians who seized the arms at Watertown were overtaken by the Federal troops at Richville and the arms re covered. The Fenians were retained prisoners. - The Richmond Circuit CoUrt has adjourned until the first Tuesday in October, until which time the trial of Mr. Davis is postponed. His counsel has gone to Washington to appeal for his release on parole or bail. The amount of the public debt on the Ist inst. is officially stated at $2,800,000,000. The coin in the Treasury amounts to $50,000,000. The shipment of gold yesterday to Europe amounted to $3,500,000. The City of London, Herman, Nova Scotia, and Africa have arrived out.

(From the Correspoadettl.) KOHLFORT, June 12. This little town, the junction of the two lines of railway which lead from Eastern Saxony and Southern Silesia on Berlin, is not unlikely to be the scene of exciting events should war between Aus tria and Prussia really occur. At a distance of 140 English miles, or six hours' journey by an or4i nary train, from the Prussian capital, it is about 16 miles, or three quarters of an hour's railway tra velling from Gorlitz, where two Prussian corps d'armee are at present cantoned. The town itself is protected to a certain degree from an attack from the west by the small stream of the Tschirne, which—no important obstacle in its general course —forms near the town some small lakes, behind which infantry or artillery might with confidence await the attack of an enemy's cavalry. The real importance which Kohlfort acquires from a military point of view is due to the convenient situation here afforded for the concentration of troops previously spread along the frontiers to resist an advance from either Eastern Saxony or Silesia. If the enemy should attack from Saxony, the troops at Gorlitz can avail themselves of the river Neisse, which flows close to that town, as a line of defence, and covered by it check considerably superior num bers until the corps coming from Silesia have time to reach .Kohlfort. Should, on the other hand, the direction of the attack be from Silesia, the river, Boher, over which the railway passes near Butzlau, affords a line that will protect the troops, who retiring from Silesia have to cover the assembly at Kohlfort of the troops coining in from Gorlitz. Of this strategi- cal point the Prussians appear to intend to take ad vantage. The head quarters of Prince Frederick Charles at Muskau, are about 20 miles to the north- west, full g le corps tr armee, mustering over 60,000 est and figh t w atGorlitz, while in Silesia the same number are within easy distance of this point of junction. It is curious to notice in this dis trict the extreme prevalence of semi-Russian two tiunn are graphical names. The existence of this apparently anomalous nomenclature is due to this portion of the kingdom being still inhabited by the repre sentatives of the Slavonian tribes who formed the population of the whole of Prussia before it became subject to the ancestors of its present Teutonic possessors. The name of Muskau is iden tically the same with that of the capital of Russia, and a .quarter of a century ago was still pronounced Moscov. The Slavonian inhabitants now number about 80,000 souls, probably a much smaller num ber than were living here at the time of the Seven Years'War, but they still rem ar k a bl y preserve th e physiological peculiarities of their race, and are a l m ost entirely untinged With Germanic blood. All remembrance of an origin different from that of their fellow countrymen has, however, long since died out from among them, and they would regard it is anything but • a compliment to be told that they are by blood more nearly allied to the Poles than to the inhabitants of Brandenburg oi• Saxony. Popular opinion has to-day sketched out new plan of operations for General Benedek. It is Low distinctly asserted—how the information has been obtained, or to whom the Austrian General has confided his plans, cannot be so clearly ascertained —that the Austrian army is to advance in force against Silesia, to mask the fortresses in that pro vince, press against the Prussian left with its main body, force it into Prussian Saxony, and then, taking up the line of the Oder, to cut off Berlin from the old provinces of the kingdom. This plan, successfully carried out, would deprive the Prussians of some of their finest recruiting ground, but the steep roads through the narrow valleys of the Riesen Gebirge and the fortified places in Silesia would require considerable time to pass, during which the hostile army that is now watching the issues of the passes could be largely reinforced by means of the railway transport at its disposal. Neither could the Austrians by this route avail themselves of their cavalry, which they not unjustly consider to be the best in the world. The telegram which announced that the Emperor had reached Olmutz has, after creating considerable excitement in Berlin, been contradicted ; now, in the revulsion of popular feel ing, rumours of probable peace are being circulated widely on this side of the frontier, but beyond the mountains it appears that serious preparations are being made to open the campaign. On the Silesian frontier the Austrians are reported to be cantoned in force on a line stretching from Zanernig, near the county of Glatz, to the vicinity of Cracow, and to have a strong corps near Frei stadt, on the road leading on the Prussian fortress of Ratibor. It is possible that the collection, or, more probably, the discovery of the collection, of large numbers of Austrian troops in this direction may have given rise to the rumour to which allusion has been made above, but, even if the reported con centration at Freistadt be a fact, it does not prove that auy serious attack against any province fur ther north than Silesia is contemplated. Many men in Prussia whose opinions are entitled to conside ration have held for some time past that in the event of war the Austrians would cross into Silesia, but only with the intention of overruning the province and levying contributions on its inhabitants, while the main attack would be made through Saxony. Perhaps the result of this very opinion being enter tained may lead to an attack against the line of the Oder through Silesia, for of course the ob ject of every General who conducts an advance is to burst out where he is least expected, and where his columns are likely to meet with the least amount of resistance. It is expected that the proposal of Austria will not be brought before the Diet till Thursday; should it be carried and Federal execution decreed against Prussia, Austria will enter the field as the chief executioner of the orders of the Bund. The States of the Confederation which are almost certain to join Austria are Wurtemberg, Hanover, Nassau, Hesse Darmstadt, and Saxony. Bavaria can hardly do otherwise on account of her position, but she does not seem inclined to enter heart and soul into the national Cave of Adullam, and the Prussians hope that although the Bavarian army must be certainly mobilized, and probably in the field on the side of their enemies, the blows it will strike against them may sometimes fall short, and may never be very severe. Of the others public opinion in this country speak a little sharply. Should a future opportunity ever occur for settling old scores, Prussia will, no doubt, have an unkindly remembrance of them all, but especially of Wurtemberg, which would fare, indeed, ill if its fate were to be decided by the uni versal suffrage of the Prussian people in their pre sent frame of mind. In winter, or after much rain, the country be tween the Neisse and the Elbe, through which run the affluents of the Upper Spree, is marshy, and much intersected with brooks, which, on account of the flatness of the ground and the consequent slight fall for drainage, form many ponds and little lakes; when these are filled with water the Spree-wald is not fit for the movement of cavalry or artillery ; but when, as- at present, the weather has been toler ably warm for a short time the water evaporates, and this district affords a very fair field for the em ployment of those arms. The Prussian War-office, fully alive to this fact, are said to be massing a large force of cavalry in this direction, which is to be or ganized on a different system to that which is in general use in the service. Usually a certain number of regiments of cavalry are attached to each corps d'armee, and follow the movements of their corps, except when actually upon the field of battle ; an exception, it is said, is now about to be made to this rule ; only one cavalry regiment is to be left with each corps, and the remainder, with a strong force of artillery, to be organised as a large independent cavalry corps, which will, if the campaign should open on the side of Saxony, have an opportunity of proving its mettle. That the Austrians will make great use of their horsemen cannot be doubted ; so much care has been lately bestowed in their army in this particular branch of the service that it will doubtless have a chance afforded it of adding to its already high reputation. If the campaign takes place on the Saxon frontier, an opportunity may be afforded for arriving at some decision on the ques tion which has for the last few years been rather polemically discussed by many of the military authorities—namely, whether arms of precision have abollshed the necessity of cavalry in the field of battle, or if it is possible for squadrons to execute a charge under the fire of rifled artillery. It is supposed that the Austrian troops which left Altona, if they can pass through Hanover without molestation, will be sent in the direction of Hesse Darmstadt. They and the troops of Wurtemberg, Hesse, and Nassau are there, it is said, to be made into one corps. When war breaks out this corps is to be despatched against the Prussian pro vinces on the Rhine. It can only be surmised that such a destination is intended for them, but it is known that the Prussians have a strong force at Wizzlau, the only object of which would be to guard against some such attack being made on West phalia or Rheinland. Were the Austrians to suc ceed in cutting off communications between Berlin and the eastern provinces, and this heterogeneous division at the same time to be successful on the Rhine, affairs would go badly with Prussia. Some are bold enough to predict that this, or something of a like nature, will be the result of the first cam paign ; but the issues of war cannot be judged on paper, more especially when it is almost impossible to ascertain satisfactorily the number of troops each Power has or is likely to put into the field, to say nothing of the reserves and recruits which each may be able to raise. Nor, even if num bers were known, can any just conclusion be arrived at•except by those who are admitted to the inner most secrets of both political and military Cabinets. States and provinces are not to be implicitly de pended upon. Were Hanover to side with Prussia, as many Say she must do, to avoid her own imme diate annexation, such an attack on the Rhine pro vinces might be attended with not only disastrous, but perhaps fatal, results to the corps which might be detached to separate the Rhenish territories from the main kingdom of Prussia. Should the war break out in the neighbourhood of this town the names of the actions will probably have almost a familiar sound. There is hardly a road leading to the frontier which has not some town or village that has given a name to a battlefield. And this iS natural, for Central Germany has already been the theatre of three of the most fierce contests which have been recorded in the history of Europe. The Thirty Years' War, the campaigns of Frederick the Great during the Seven Years' War, and the last offensive campaign of Napoleon before his abdica tion, have all given celebrity to the naMes of some of the places in the immediate neighbourhood. About 25 miles to the west is Bautzen, where the French Emperor defeated the Allies in 1813, but did not by his victory succeed in shattering their coali tion. A short distance beyond Gorlitz lies Reich embach, where Duroc was killed, and Buntzlau was the scene of another of Napoleon's victories gained over the Prussians, To the north is the little town of Sagan, where Frederick the Great met with one of his few defeats at the hands of the Russians, and in the south is Landshut, where he fared equally ill with the Austrians. Still the locality suggests me mories most glorious to the Prussian arms, for to the east and south-east are Leignitz and Schweid nitz, the two fields where those victories were gained, which, with Leuthen and Rossbach, established for ever the fame of the hero of the Seven Years' War. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. 'Moro Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) BRIDGMAN V. THE MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the husband, who is en gaged at a wharfinger's, and lives at Cornwall-road, Lam beth, for injuries through the alleged negligence of the defendants' servants inflicted on his wife. The defendants paid £lO5 into court, which they pleaded was ample com pensation for the injuries of Mrs. Bridgman. It appeared that Mr. Bridgman was returning to London last August by an excursion train of the defendants', and on reaching Colney Hatch station the train came into ool lision with some waggons that wero being shunted on the line. The defendant and her mother, who also has an action against the defendant, were dashed with great violence against the front of the carriage. Mrs. Bridgman became very ill a few days after, and was for some time under medical care, and the inquiries of which she complained were described as very serious, and from the effects of which sho was not quite recovered. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £3OO damnges. CENTRAL CRIMINAL-O—IIRT --This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) CUAILGE OF BICIIDER. Helen Forester, 60, was indicted for the wilful murder of Helen Ann Venables alias Sloman, by making use of instruments to procure abortion. The evidence-was of a nature which it is not desirable reproduce. The important point in the case being whether the de ceased's statement amounted to a dying declaration, and as the evidence was not conclusive on the point, the learned judge directed au acquittal. The prisoner and her daughter were then again indicted on the coroner's warrant, but no evidence was offered, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. This terminated the business of the session. POLICE MTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH - STRE ET. ABUSE or KlNDNESS.—Elizabeth Moulder, a charwoman, living in Tom's-court, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £4 10s. Mr. John Henry Hubert, of the Barley Mow, 'Duke street, Grosvenor-square, said that on the previous even ing the prisoner, who was very drunk, came into his house and requested to be served. She was refused, whena c us she made use of Very d is g usting language, and took up tomer's pot and drunk out of it. After ordering her seve ral times to leave the house, or ho would have to put her out, she went out a nd tried to break a large pane of glass with her fist but as she was unable to do so' she got a stone and smashed the pane of the value of £4 10s. Mr. Knox—The prisoner was brought before me yester day charged with being drunk and disorderly, and finding and that she had that she had don e no harm to any one, d isc h arge d her. It is no use her b ee n locked up all night, I d appealing for mercy a second time. Sergeant Rowe, 3 C, said the prisoner, who was drunk, told him that she throw the stone, but did not intend to break the window. The prisoner said her husband had been on the drink some time, and they had had all their things taken from them. Sho hoped the magistrate would be lenient. Mr. Knox-LYou are a drunken, dissipated woman. No sooner are you let off, through the mercy of the court, than you get drunk again, and not only get drunk, but smash a pane of glass of the value of £4 10s. If you think I will have the property of respectable persons in this dis trict destroyed in such a way you are mistaken. You will go for two months, with hard labour. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—William Drury, -of • Fulham Fields, waste collector, was charged before Mr Knox at the instance of Mr. Love, of the Royal Society fur the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse by working it while in an unfit state. Smith, an officer of the society, deposed to seeing the defendant in Piccadilly driving a horse attached to a cart containing a large wash tub. Observing the horse to be in a most wretched state, he examined it and found it to be very old and poor, and to have a very bad • sore with the crppper pressing into it. Mr. Knox ordered a summons to issue against the owner of the horse, the defendant's mother, and took the defend ant's recognisance;to appear on the day fixed for hearing. When the case was again called on the defendant appeared in answer to his recognisance, but in such a disgraceful state of intoxication that Mr. Knox remanded him, and adjourned the caselor a fortnight, to see if the horse was fit for further work. On the defendant, Mr. Drury, coming up again, Mr. Knox, after remarking in strong terms on his improper conduct in attending a court in a state of intoxication, fined him 205., or 14 days, stating that the defendant had better take care and not use the horse until after the sum mons was disposed of. THAMES. LAZY PAUPEnS.—John Swan, aged 32, James Green, 19, William Ward, 18, and George a ansden, 17, able-bodied fellows, who spent last night in Ratcliff workhouse, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with refusing to execute the task of picking 21b. of oakum each in return for supper, lodging, and breakfast. One prisoner said his fingers were bad, another that he was not used to picking oakum ; a third that he ought not to do so anyhow, and the fourth said nothing. Mr. Paget—Then you expect to be fed and lodged at the expense of the ratepayers without doing a little work for the same. You are sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. A DISHONEST GUEST.—Henry Smith, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of John George, of No. 28, King-street, Tower-bill. The prisoner, who was an old friend of the prosecutor, dined with him and his wife yesterday, and.after dinner the prosecutor left Lome on business, and the prisoner remained gossiping with Mrs. George, who dozed off to sleep. She awoke in 10 minutes, and her husband's watch was gone, and the prisoner was also missing. The prisoner was found this morning in Hare-street, Bethnal-green, and he admitted taking the watch, and said he was sorry for it He had pawned the watch, which was produced. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial, MARKETS,---This Day. COVENT GARDEN. Fair average supplies of fruit and vegetables are on sale.

The Union C ompany ' s steams hi p R om an arrived here this afternoon from the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th, St. Helena 22d, and Ascension on the 26th ult. She brings 105 passengers, 1,000 bales of wool, 1,400 wet hides, 10 cases of ostrich fea thers, 16 cases of aloes and gum, 60 tons of sesame seed, 61 tusks, 5 cases of ivory, 1,077 bags of cop per ore, 60 casks 14 cases of wine, 25 cases of sun dries from the Cape, and two boxes of specie from St. Helena. Among the passengers are Justice Bcll, on six months' leave of absence, and the Rev. A. Murray, of the Dutch Reformed Church, deputed by the Synodical Commission to visit England to watch the appeal which has been made to the Privy Coun cil in the Berger case. The weather continued remarkably fine at the Cape, and a quiet reaction towards the return of better times progressed. Farming operations were being carried on very favourably in every direction, but heavy losses still occurred i n isolated districts from diseases among cattle an d sheep. The commander of the forces had returned from his official visit to St. Helena. Mr. C. J. Becker, sub-sheriff at Malmesbury, had absconded, after forging bills and promissory n o t es to the amount of £1,500. The settlement of a treaty of peace between the Basutos and the Free State was progressing satis factorily. _ _ --The Cape colonists had presented an adiress to President Brand, congratulating . ,hitu upon -th e honourable conclusion of the ;var. The gold discoveries in Transvaal were confirmed. Several expeditions had left Natal on their way to the diggings. The South African Mail says:—" The Colenso question still raged violently. The court had granted an order requiring the dean to give thebishop access to, and the use of, the baptismal registry. In reply, the dean had positively stated to the court, in writ ing, that he declined to obey the order, as he deemed the matter beside the functions of any civil court. For this contumacy the Court had, without award ing any personal punishment by imprisonment or fine, decreed the Dean to be in general contempt and under sentence of t legal excommunication.' He is unable to go before the court to seek any redress so long as in contempt. The bench de clined to make a martyr of the Dean by more extreme measures than by placing him in the po sition of ' deprivation of law.' Mr. Justice Phillips remarked, in reference to the judgment, that if it did not affect the Dein more than ecclesiastical excommunication did the other side he did not think it would affect him much." The Panama and New Zealand Company's steamer Rhuahine arrived on the 11th of May. The mail steamer Briton had not arrived ; she left St. Helena on the 9th of May. Her Majesty's ship Rapid left Port Elizabeth on the 12th of May for Simon's Bay. The Valorous was at Angra. The Pequima and the Salamis left Algoa Bay on the 14th of May for the Mauritius, and the troopship Lady Melville arrived on that day in Simon's Bay from Madras. The Roman landed her mails I ere, and pro ceeded this evening for Southampton. The following is from the Cape Town Advertiser and Mail:— " The most gratifying intelligence we have to send home this month is the announcement that the war between the Orange Free State and the elasutos has been ended. Though British subjects as such were neutrals in the strife, yet the interest the colony felt alike during the continuance and at the result of the struggle was almost as great as that of the belligerents themselves. While the war lasted it had a tendency to excite restlessness among our own Caffre neighbours on the eastern border ; it closed the civil courts of the Free State, checked the export of produce, and thereby stop ped the flow of remittances, heavily due, to mer chants and traders in the colony. Thanks, how ever, to the perseverance of the burghers generally, and to the stedfastness, zeal, and energy of the,President in particular, it is now hap pily all over ; and peace has been obtained and de clared on terms more advantageous to the State than could have been anticipated by the most san guine only a few months ago. The Basutos have been thoroughly humiliated, without being hope lessly broken. All their leading chiefs, from Moshesh downward, have paid up with unwonted punctuality heavy fines of sheep, cattle, and horses. Two of them—Molappo and Nehemiah, both sons of Moshesh, have, with their tribes, and at their own request, been admitted as subjects of the Free State ; while a tract of valuable land, some 5,000 square miles in extent, has been ' annexed,' and is now being divided into farms, which will . shortly be given out' on a tenure of military ser vice for the defence of the frontier. The effect of all this on the trade and general prosperity of the Cape colony will be very marked. Already the wool produce of the Free State is being transported to the coast iu large quantities, and the usual busi ness relations between the merchants and the growers are being rapidly resumed. It is very gra tifying to be able to report this month an exceed ingly favourable change in the condition and prospects of the country. The drought which prevailed so long and so disastrously everywhere has now:everywhere broken up, and from all quarters we hear of abundant rai ns,with genial sunshine intervening, so that the veld is clad with luxuriant vegetation, and ploughing and all other agricultural operations are progressing apace. It seems as if we had passed through one of our long and recurrent cycles of drought, and entered upon what we trust may prove our seven years of plehty. If, indeed, we should have only two or three, instead of seven such favourable years as the ono which has now set in, it is the confident opinion of even the most cautious and experienced that the colony will quite recover 'itself again, and be more abundantly productive and prosperous than it ever was before." CHAPEL ROYAL, WHITEHALL.—The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of York will preach the anniversary sermon in aid of the Clergy Orphan Schools to-morrow morning, at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall. TIIE LAST NEWLY-COINED SCIENTIFIC TERM is Pidacology (from 7rtB4, a fountain). It is used to denote the science of subterranean springs.

When the warmth of the weather determines unduly blood to the skin all these complaints assume a worse appearance, and their symp toms become more harassing unless Holloway's ointment be applied to check increasing inflammation and to soothe the excited nerves. No knowledge beyond that contained in the "Directions for use" is required for using this cool ing and healing unguent, which always acts beneficially. Thousands afflicted with bad legs, who were slowly sink ing under their sufferings, have been rescued from their perilous position (after all curative means seemed power less) by persevering with Holloway's medicaments.
