MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No change is observable in the prospect of the Money Market. The brokers are refusing to nego tiate business in the best short short-dated paper under 31 per cent., as the belief still exists that the Bank authorities will soon have their minimum. To the Bank are therefore taken nearly all the bills brought forward, but the inquiry for accommoda tion is not very large. The amount of gold withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England was 40,000 sovereigns for transmission to Alexandria. A sale has been effected to-day of Mexican dollars at 4s. 111 d. per ounce. It is given out that the Imperial Credit Anstalt of Austria 1s about to contract a loan amounting to £3,000,000 sterling for the Pasha of Egypt. During the last few days rather less animation has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in moderate request, at steady rates, while superior qualities of coffee have maintained full prices. Rice and cocoa have remained dull, and there has been scarcely any business transacted in tea, while tallow has been in fair demand, at steady rates, for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. itentes were 67 f. 50c. Very quiet. The English Stock continues in an unsteady and lnguishing condition.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. It appeared that a person named John Wood was a member of a building society at Walthamstow, and as collateral security fer £2OO advanced him by that society he assigned to trustees acting on behalf of the shareholders the lease for 97 years of some cottages which he then possessed. He was also to pay the debt by instal ments, but failing to do this the trustees sold the interest in the cottages for £240. The defendant set up a previous assignment to that to the trustees, and also alleged that Wood by the last assignment did not empower the trustees to sell the estate. The Master of the Rolls decided that the last assignment should be binding. The Lord Chancellor agreed with his Honour, and dis missed the appeal, with costs. COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) SIDNEY Y. SIDNEY. In this case the wife had obtained a decree nisi dis solving her marriage with her husband, who was a man in affluent circumstances. The court afterwards awarded the lady permanent alimony, but a question was raised as to whether, when a full divorce had been granted, the wife was entitled to the same, as she would have been in the case of a judicial separation, and the respondent had in timated his intention to appeal to another tribunal to re verse the award. Sir J. P. Wilde, at the sitting of the court this morning, said he thought, under the circumstances, that it would be advisable if he explained his views in reference to the question at issue. By the old ecck;siastical law the wife could obtain only a divorce mensa et thoro, but was entitled to permanent alimony. Referrineto the section of the act bearing on this subject ho thought by the constitution of the court it was empowered to grant permanent ali mony in cases of dissolution of marriage, for he could not think the Legislature contemplated placing the wife in a worse pecuniary position when she succeeded in getting a divorce from her husband than she would have been if she got merely a judicial separation. It had been said that granting permanent alimony in such cases would hold forth a pecuniary incentive to the exercise of actions for divorce against women; and no doubt, it being the duty of the Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage, it should endeavour to quench any attempts to dissolve the nuptial tie. But, on the other side, this pecuniary consideration might be supposed to operate in preventing the husband from com mitting himself so as to render himself liable to its imposi tion. It would be hard, indeed, if the husband, having, by his ill-treatment, deSired his wife to seek for a divorce, and obtaining what he required, namely, being freed by the court from a partner who had become dis tasteful, should be exempted from making any prows • ion for the woman who was the victim of his misconduct. In this case he would decree that the respon dent should allow the petitioner £245 a-year, which, with her other means, would give her an income of £4OO. That amount would not maintain her in the position she occu pied when living with the respondent, but it approached as near as possible to the award that would have been made by the ecclesiastical court. The Learned Judge then made the decree nisi absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE SIR J. A. DOUGLAS, ENT.-ONE OF ENGLAND'S NAVAL COMMANDERS. This bankrupt, who is somewhat advanced in years, is described as a retired staff commander in the navy, now on half-pay, and to-day was appointed for the order of dis charge. Mr. Denny supporting. The debts are only £144, with no assets, and the bank ruptcy is ascribed to insufficiency of income and non-pay m3nt of claims on her Majesty's Government. The bank rupt states that he is entitled as a retired staff commander to a pension of ss. per day as half-pay, which seems is pay able quarterly. He is also entitled to an out-pension o £5O per annum from Greenwich Hospital for wounds and public services. In addition to the causes of the failure Sir J. A. Douglas says—" I consider myself entitled to re ceive from her Majesty's Government a very considerable sum by way of compensation for services rendered, and losses suffered by me in the public service in China in the years 1839-40, during which period I protected, at my own expense, British lives and property there." Mr. Denny, on behalf of the bankrupt, made a most ener getic address, and pointed out to the Court the long ser vices he had rendered to his country, and his Honour granted the order as prayed. IN RE MATTI-A HEAVY DEFICIENCY. This bankrupt was described as a merchant of Great St. Helen's, and to-day was appointed for the order of dis charge. The accounts by Mr. W. F. Smart, of 33, Cole man-street, show debts £69,200, with a deficiency of £54,505. The case was adjourned. IN RE REES-ANOTHER HEAVY DEFICIENCY. This bankrupt was also a merchant of Great St. Helen's, coming up to-day for the order of discharge. The accounts by Mr. W. F. Smart show dobta £91,200, with a gross deft - relic - Sr of .E 85,700. The not deficiency is estimated at £13,000. The case was adjourned in consequence of the absence of counsel. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) BAD MONEY AND PUBLIC-HOUSES-SINGULAR DECISION- JONES V. BRAZER. This was an action to recover two shillings and sixpence in lieu of a bad half-crown alleged to have been taken at defendant's public-house. Plaintiff, in answer to his Honour, stated that she went to defendant's house and changed a half sovereign, receiv ing from a lad in the bar four half-crowns. She paid her landlady three shillings, changed a third half-crown on the following Monday, and the fourth she discovered two days afterwards to be bad. She went to defendant, who said he was quite sure she did not get the bad money at his house. His Honour—Did you have anything to drink when you went to change the money ? Plaintiff—No. I received the full money as stated. His Honour—l think, though I know it is not law, that when persons go to a publican or shopkeeper for change and purchase nothing, the tradesman is not bound to exer cise the same care that he would do if a purchase had been made. Defendant then said ho was quite sure the money had not been taken at his house, as all moneys passed four or five times through his hands. It was, besides, quite ab surd to come to him four or five days after the coin had been received. His Honour —lf she had come tho same day would you have changed it ? Defendant —Certainly not. His Honour said it was useless setting up the defence. Defendant then made some strong c h arges aga i n st plain tiff and her husband, which were denied. His Honour said such charges should not be made in a case of this kind, and asked plaintiff if sho could swear that she received the bad coin at defendant's house. Plaintiff—Upon my oath I did. His Honour then found for the plaintiff, but ruled that as she had been careless herself in not examining the money as she received it, ho should grant no costs. Verdict for plaintiff, without costs.

THE STRIKE OF THE NAILERS. BELLOWS Cum/ca.—The strike w hi c h has extended Over about seven weeks was gradually terminating this week, but owing to several bellows being cut, by those still "out," the bulk of the " thousand" nailers have again left their work, and are on strike, and they now state that the payment of the full score allowance will alone cause them to resume their work. It is said that those who continued firm in the strike, seeing that it was impossible to gain their end so long as some were at work and some were at play, commenced spoiling the workmen's bellows, so as to compel them to leave, their work, and to frighten others away from their work. Attempts are being made to find out those who have committed these trade outrages. WILFULLY DAMAGING TILE RALLiicas OF ST. JAMES'S CHURCII.—A boy named' Charles Wilkinson was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully damaging the railings of St. James's Churchyard, Piccadilly. Mr. Benjamin Tissant, of No. 7, York-street, Sloane square, said that while passing St. James's Church that morning•ho saw the prisoner with a lump of wood knock off the head of one of the iron railings. He therefore felt it his duty to give the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that if every ono was as prompt as the witness it would prevent a deal of mischief being done to property. Frederick Green, the beadle of St. James's, said that several of the railings had had the heads broken off, and they had not been able to find any of the persons doing the damage till fortunately Mr. Tissant caught the prisoner in the act. The damage to the railing amounted to 7s 6d. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the boy to pay the amount of damage, and a fine of 10s. or 21 days, observing that such gratuitous mischief must be marked. A FORGIVING WlFE.—James Pickett, a stoutly-built young man, residing in Husband-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with assaulting his wife. The complainant said—The prisoner is my husband; we have been married twelve months. Last night he struck me on the head, and the wound bled a little, but 1 am not hurt, and do not wish to punish him. Inspectcrr Harrison—The complainant received a very severe blow, and I had to send her to the hospital. The complainant—My husband did not intend to do it. He meant to strike me on the knuckles, but I put my head in the way. Inspector Harrison—l was informed that the prisoner deliberately struck his wife. The complainant—l don't wish to proceed with the case. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are a kind creature, but you must be protected. Your husband will only be doing it again if you show him any mercy. The prisoner —I only struck my wife to prevent her in juring my face with a glass. The complainant—That is not true. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The prisoner will hale to find two be: in £lO each for three months. THAMES. RETURNING FROM THE FOREST.—Charles Plummer, aged 21, a sweep, of 9, Pear-tree-street, Lambeth, Ellen Plum mer, his wife, 19, Thomas Edward Gosling, of the same place, 20, a sweep, and Mary Glancey, 61, of No. 14, Middle-pollards, Tower-street, Lambeth, the mother of Mrs. Plummer, were all charged with being drunk and dis orderly and assaulting various persons in Bow, Middlesex, last night.

He refused to do so, and she laid hold of the reins. There was a violent struggle for the P"''"'"" of the reins, Auclinnramer began. to beat the old woman. She screamed,-all the parties in the cart were fighting and tumbling over each other, the horse reeled, a mob collected about the party in the cart, and a police constable, named Joseph Goodson, No. 227 K, seized the horse and told the party to desist. Charles Plummer im mediately jumped out of the cart and struck him with a piece of the whip *die he had broken over Mrs. Clancey. He then threw himself on the ground and laid hold of the policeman's leg, and the young woman followed her hus band and tried to bite the constable. Gosling leaped out of the cart and took part in the affray. He struck the police man several times. A general skirmish then took place. All the parties were on the ground fighting and tumbling over each other, while Mrs. Plummer and Mrs. Clancey used their tongues, and called out " Murder !" as loudly as possible. Mr. Harry Tucker, the landlord of a public house, who interfered in the interests of peace, was as saulted by the women, and Mrs. Clancey got possession of the constable's truncheon, and attempted to beat him with it. The staff was taken from her. Other constables ar rived, and the prisoners, instead of finishing their excur sion in Lambeth, were consigned to tho cells of the Bow road station-house, and the horse and cart were taken to the greenyard. Mrs. Clancey declined to charge her friend Mr. Plummer with the assault, and said it was all owing to the drop of drink and the heat of the weather. Mr. Partridge said the prisoners had made a very bad finish to their day's excursion to Epping Forrest, and would apparently suffer for this a long time. Ho fined Charles Plummer and Thomas Edward Gosling 40s. each, Mrs. Plummer ss. only, and discharged the old woman Clancey. Tho fines were paid. The Earl Cathcart has left Maurigy's Hotel for Thornton-le-Street, Yorkshire. LORD DERBY AND ins SON.--CURIOUS ELECTION INCIDENT. --An incident showing the odd changes which time can make occurred at Preston last week during the course of Conservative canvass in that town. The two Conservative candidates, along with their party, were pro ceeding up one of the streets of the town, when one of them, sidew i with h a f t k h e e e n r ci d e . t Ao businessilforo,b s e a r: d e a d d a e voter s t o m n t i t o h n e o o f t h t h e e r usual blandness prevailing at election times, followed. An introduction succeeded, and after the voter had shaken hands with Sir T. G. Ilesketh he turned to the Hon. F. A. Stanley (Lord Derby's son) and said, "Allow me to ex press the pleasnre I feel at being introduced to the son of a man whose life I saved many years ago." The honourable scion of the house of Derby and his party wondered what the old voter meant, and as they appeared to bo anxious for some explanation, he proceeded te tell how, many years ago, when Lord Derby, during the course of the celebrated contest between himself and Orator Hunt was being kicked, beaten, pelted with refuse, and generally abused _by the Conservative mob in Preston, and then dragged opposite his (the voter's) house, where in all pro bability he would have been killed, had not he seized his lordship (then Mr. Stanley), and pulled him into his dwell ing, where he hid him in a dark closet. The infuriatedmob immediately afterwards broke into the house, but were un able to discover Lord Derby. They then rushed out in another direction, fancying that his lordship had escaped by some back way. The voter thou administered re freshment to the victim of Tory bigotry and violence secreted in his house, and afterward got some policemen to taken him to his head-quarters. When the voter had concluded the narration of this story the Hon : o t ho the n gentleman, F. A. Stanley thanked the voter for his kindness t t a i e m tn e teile n ,ms areed, and then begged for his supp or t " for his fh a sa n k , e c . Ons A ide n ra eg tl a y surprised, tivereplyw was given, rejoined, " But, you know, you are an old supporter of my father." "Yes," ho answered, " but your father has changed his politics since I was his supporter. I have not. I, like your father, was not a Tory then ; and I don't intend to go over to the party who abused him in Preston." He was questioned pretty closely about " that party," and some of the Conservatives present blushed pretty extensively whilst the ancient voter verbally castigated the Tories for hunt ing and maltreating Lord Derby when he contested Preston at the time named. Ho afterwards left the two candidates and their supporters to reflect upon the change that had ensued since the present head of the Conservative party in England was chased and almost beaten to death by a mad Tory mob in the very town which has just returned his son to Parliament as a Tory member. A DOUBTFUL STORY.-1:110 Courrier de l'lsere relates the following extraordinary instance of determination which occurred three days since at Miribel Lanchhtro, in d that department. A boy, 12 years of age, named Durand, having climbed a tree to take a bird's niest built in a h o l e o f the trunk, had just inserted his hand toreauenhaibtlewthoewnitthhe dbrraaw his nchonhwhichand, he o he re s m te a o i d ne b d ro s k ui) e, eaunddeby it. I n this , being pre dicament, seeing no help near, he drew a pruning-knife from his pocket, and cut off his hand at the wrist. Having fallen at the foot of the tree without furth er i n j ury, he walked home, whence, after a first dressing had been ap plied, he was conveyed to the hospital at Grenoble. The Secretary read the report, which • stated that the company bought the business of Mr. flouter at a price based upon the estimated revenue for the pa* three years, with its prospective increase, and from Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co.'s report the actual not profits during• that period ex ceeded considerably the average amount on which their contract was bated. ,The balance-sheet showed a profit of £6,645 for . the six months ending Julie 30 last. The direc tors declared an interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cont. per annum on the paid-up capital, which would absorb £6ll, and after payment of all charges and writing off £2OO from the 'preliminary expenses there would remain a balance of £2,442 to be carried forward. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, with• regard to the dividend, the directors thought it prudent to proceed cautiously at first by giving a moderate one with a view of increasing it in future. They considered it advisable to have a large balance in hami, as there was £30,000 due to Mr. Reuter for the purchase cf the business, and there were also other claims against the company. The directors had everyreason to believe that the dividend would be incrodsod next year. Tho business of the com pany was 'yelp satisfactory. . Sir J. HAY seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was unanimously carried, and the dividend recommended in the report was agreed to. The meeting . was then made special, and a resolution was passed to prevent the company from investing its funds in the purchase of shares of the company. It was stated that therewould be no call until September. Mr. REtTER 'said the business of the company was well secured by contracts for six years. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. -._-..-....- ----,---. BOW-STREET INTERFERING WITH A SOLDIER ;;DlTTl(.—Chitrles Pen nington, a shabbily dressed man of about 45 years of age, was charged with, being drunk, anc% annoying a corporal of artillery in the execution of his duty, viz., in conveying a prisoner. • James 0011yer, a corporal of the - C BattOry, Brigade, Royal ; Artilli?ry, stationed at Woolwich -4 was passing through Lon,don yesterday conveying a prisoner (a de serter), when he had occasion to stop for a few minutes in the Strand, near Temple Bar. • While 'I was waiting for him the' defendant - spoke to me; and told me' to sheath my sword: I saw that he was the worse for liquor, and at first I took no notice of him. He then said he was a volunteer, and again desired me to sheath my sword. I told him I Was on duty, and I should be obliged to him if ho - Wouldlet the alone. He continued, hoWever, to annoy me by insisting that I must sheath my sword. He caused a crowd to assemble, and they pressed around me so that I was afraid my prisoner would escape. I put him into a corner, and stood before him, to keep the crowd off, and after several times requesting him to desist, as I was on duty, I gave him in custody. Policeman Garner, 375 A, who took defendant into cus- - tody, corroborated the corporal. The defendant• said ho did not know thatthe officer was on duty, and ho only spoke jocularly. He regretted that ho had given annoyance, and he should not have done it if he had been sober. Mr. Flowers said ho was glad at all events that the de fendant admitted. himself in error and expressed regret. At the same time it was no excuse to say that he only did it jocularly. Nobody had a right to be jocular with a 'soldier on duty. It would be bad enough in a sober man, but the prisoner, being drunk, had carried the joke a great deal too far, by continuing the annoyance after being re peatedly told that tho corporal was on duty. He must say that but for the very creditable forbearance and good humour of the corporal serious consequences might very probably have resulted. However, considering that the defendant probably did not mean to do any great mischief, ho would mitigate tho penalty to fine or 14 days' im prisonmerrt. •• • • • The defendant was locked up in default of payment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Railway and other Companies, SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN), LIMITED: The report of the directors state that since-the lad - oene ral meeting the Works had been proceeded with in the most satisfactorimanner, and the pi-egress - which the co: 1 - tractors were new making left little doubt that the lina' would be completed by the commencement of next . year, thus anticipating-their contract by nearly two years. In conteMplation of an early opening of - the line, the directors had . considered it desirable to gpgage a traffic manager apd a locomotive superintendent,.and they would proceed to Brazil at an early date, so .that they. might have the opportunity of organising the staff and taking the neces sary steps to insure the efficient and 'econtirilical working of the line: The gentlemen selected for those important positions had both held similar appointments in Brazil be fore, and were r therefore, in addition to their other quali fications, conversant with the habits, customs, and lan guage of the country, an advantage, in We'opinion of the directors; highlyto be estimated. The relations between the company and the Imperial Government and local autho rities were most satisfactory, and the directors continued to receive from- the representatives of the Brazilian Go vernment the most friendly support and co-operation. The rep'prt of Mr. Bruuloes, the engineer-in -chief, stated that the present position of the works, and the rate at which they wore being advanced, :warranted the belief that the railway would be completed and ready for opening in the early part 'of nest year. With regard to the traffic he found that 4:they estimated a return for traffic based upon the tonnage at.present carried to and. from Santos on the existing road, and made an allowance -for working ex penses of -one-fourth more per train mile than it cost the Pernambuco Railway Company, the receipts of the first year woad more than double the working expenses. The total expenditure to the 30th of. Junia, amounted to £2,174,049, leaving a balance at the bankers of £95,912. REUTLR'S TELEGRAM The first ordinary general meeting of tliis company was held yesterday eA the London Tavern.—Mr. J. Dent in the chair. Precautions Against the Cholera. The local authorities of the outposts, and of cer tain other places in the United Kingdom, have re ceived a circular letter from the Clerk of the Privy Council,. suggesting the adoption of precautionary measures against the spread of cholera. The letter runs as folloir : Privy Council Office, July 22, 1865. . _ Sir,—l am directed by Lord President of the Council ;o request that yOu will call tho attention of the authorities at to the reports which have appeared in the newspapers respecting the severity with which the cholera has visited Egypt, and to the fact that some cases of that disease have occurred in Turkey and in Italy. From the most recently received intelligence there is reason to believe that that disease is on the decline ; but while the Lords of the Council do not consider it necessary to enforce the restrictions of quarantine against vessels arriving from countries which have been visited with cholera, their Lordships cannot altegether ignore the apprehension that that serious malady may visit the United Kingdom. Feeling strongly the im portance of neglecting no precautions against the spread of the disease, if it should unhappily make its appearance in this country, their Lordships direct mo to transmit to you, Mr your information, the enclosed copy of a letter, which, by their instructions, was sent to the various outposts of the United Kingdom in 1859, together with a copy of the sanitary memorandum therein referred to; in order that the authorities of your locality may be enabled to take such measures as they may think proper for the preserva tion of the health of the inhabitants of their neighbour hood.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, E. IlAnniso.N. The documents referred to are of great length, and set 'forth' a number of sanitary precautions against epidemic diseases. INJURY' THROUGH JUMPING FI%OM A TRAIN.--A frightful accident occurred to a young gentleman named Henry Tayleur, at the Earlstown junction of the London and North-Western Railway,on Friday night. Mr. Tayleur, about 22 years of age, is a'nephew of Mr. Tayleur, managing director of the .Vulcan Locomotive Works. He had been to Warrington, and was returning to his uncle's residence at the time of the accident. Near the EarlstOwn junction is a sharp curve, and on approach ing this it, is usual to slacken the speed of the train. It has been the practice on the evening train slackening speed for some adventurous persons to jump out of car riages whilst in' motion. At all events Mr. Tayleur seems to have d(Mo so; his motive, it is understood, being to avoid having to,walk back from the Now-bridge station. He got out, intending to jump on the siding, but in attempting to do so his legs became entangled in the wheels. One of his legs was caught, and completely torn from his body, and the other was fearfully mutilated. Ho was speedily conveyed to his uncle's dwelling, and surgical aid pro cured. He pathetically exclaimed, when taken home, " I am ruined for life." We hear that he had been courting a young lady in Wales, and he had an excellent business prospect before him.—Manihester Courier. ELECTION DISTURBANCES IN WARWICKSHIRE.— Two men now lie at Warwick, so injured in the election disturbances there that it is uncertain whether they Will recover. After the polling Was o'vbr, late on Fri day night, some men from Coventry,: who:had been parad ing the town, crying " Mordaunt and Wise (Conservatives) for ever," proceeded towards the railway station to return to that city, when they were attacked by partisans of Lord Duncan, the 'defeated Liberal candidate, and so severely handled that several of them had to'be carried away. It was alleged that many persons had voted, for Mordaunt and Wise who had no qualification,- and popular indig aation at the result was carried to the length of destroy ing a: porticin of . the polling booth: At Leamington a mob paraded. the streets, "bonneting" people and throw ing stones. • At Atherstone, Nuneaton, and Brins low, in the 'nnrthern division of the county,• the mob made similar demonstrations. Intelligence reached Coventry on Saturday of the death of Mr. Morgan Treherne, one of the members of that city, through excitement in the recent election there. PRINCE 'NAPOLEON IN SOUTH ' WALES.—On Saturday, quite unexpectedly , his Imperial High ness Prince Napoleon arrived at his beautiful corvette Lo Jerome Napoleon at Cardiff. After ]finding from the corvette the Prince paid a visit to a few pfaCes in ;ho town, and then took the express train for Swansea. Sis 1 22- , peHal Highness travelled without any retinue of attend ants, being attended only by one gentleman. On Saturday evening the Prince drove around the neighbourhood of Swangea, and staid at the Mackworth Arms that night, and early on Sunday morning he psiid a visit to Caswell bay, where ho bathed, and then returned. to the Elms at the Mumbles: The distinguished visitor left Swansea on Sunday afternoon in a carriage and pair for Carmarthen and Milford Haven. The Prince purposeg visiting Holy head, but it,is not known whether he will return to Cardiff, or whether the corvette will put in at Milford for him. ACCIDENT ON THE H.A.M3IERSMITII RAILWAY. —On Sunday morning a Hammersmith,' traiii.was running to Hammersmith, and when it hadreached the Shepherd's- bush Junction, the swithchman on duty there opened the points and the engine passed along the proper line, but before the whole of the carriages had gone over the points the switchman let go his hold, and the conseque nce was that the connection between the carriages was suddenly severed, and the latter part of the train was thrown on another line, dashing against an old building and knocking a portion of it down. The guard of the train kept to his post, and was very severely shaken, while the passengers in the rear portion of the train were also shaken and alarmed. Snch accidents as the above, which might under some circumstances, prove more serious in their results, are liable to occur frequently, either from carelessness in its various forms, or from unlooked-for accidentsof apersonal kind, such as seizures of cramp, &c., while the switchman is at his post, and this exemplifies the great utility of the locking-gear, which renders the points immovable until trains have passed over.

Waverley Cottage, Prahran, near Melbourne, May 14, 11365. . Mr. Frederic Maccabe's Entertainment Profesior Anderson introduced: to a „London audi ence yesterday, at a private entertainment in St. James's Hall,' a very clever young artist, of unmis takable Hibernian proclivities and of the full aver age amount o f Celtic drollery. Mr. Frederic Mac cabe, following in the footsteps Of Charles Mathews, Albert Smith, John Parry, Valentine Vox, Mr. German Reed, Mr. Arthur Skachley, and other humorous delineators of class and character, has earned for himself in the Sister Isle considerable reputation, and there cannot be the shadow of doubt, looking at his own intrinsic merits, and having re gard to the favourable impression which he created in yesterday's • amusing performance, that he will secure in:the English metropolis no scanty meed of popularity. Favoured with an intelligent, personnel, and a peculiarly pleasing appearance, Mr. Maccabe, who is apparently little advanced beyond the years of manhood, is gifted with marvellous powers of mimicking, an easy and natural adaptation of cha racter, an incessant flow of the raciest humour, power's of ventriloquism certainly such as 'We have never heard approached, a well-cultivated and nicely-balanced voice, and perfect command over the pianoforte, the guitar, and the piccolo. With such a combination of natural characteristics, aided by gentlemanly address, keen appreciation of the ridiculous, and close observation of passing events, Mr. Maccabe sums up under the title "Begone, dull care" about as agreeable a mono-dramatic enter tainment as one could desire to laugh over. His de lineation of !‘:The Wandering Minstrel," in two pictures, " Romance and Reality," especially as the " Troubadour of Modern Days," was remarkably good, bringing to vivid remembrance Frank Robson in the greatest of his palmy days. " The Railway Porter" and 'his description of " the Lancashire Lad" were also faultless. Mr. Maccabe introduced several delightful morceaux of vocal illusions in con versation. with invisible beings, for the purpose of illustrating the perfection to which the art of ven triloquism can be brought, and he made six or eight of his leading sketches additionally interesting by the pleasant rendering of some characteristic songs, for the most part Irish in their origin, including Lover's "Whistling Thief," and two Very beautiful melodies, his own creation, " Early in the Morning," and " Yeo, Heave Ho." Professor Anderson has engaged Mr. Maccabe for his season, which is to commence on Monday next, and no doubt the ad dition of such 'au artist will impact additional bloom' to the alrady . highly tinted " World of Magic." PROFESSOR ANDERSON'S NEW ENTERTAINMENT. On Monday nexi .Professor Anderson will ' commence at St. James's Hall-his farewell season in London prior to his departure for Australia. In a new and original entertain ment bearihg the'!tttractive title of "'Begone, Dull Caro," the Wizard of the North will be assisted, not only by Miss Louise Anderson and her sisters, but by Mr. Frederic Mac cabe, a gentleman who, though a stranger to the metro polis, has gained great reputation in the provinces. A SKETCH 'OF MR J. S. MiLL.—.(Worthy of Publicola when at his best!)—What is J. S. Mill ? Without any means to stand a contested election, his can didature is: sustained by voluntary efforts and subscrip tions. His economical doctrines are avowedly subversive of the whole existing framework •of society. They especially wage open war with prerogative and here ditary privilege. They maintain that thdre should be no collateral inheritance, no lineal heritage beyond one generation, no succession at all, except to the extent of a most. moderato subsistence; that all the residue should be resumed by the community at• large —a com munism raisonne. In religion he considers Christianity to include more than one mistake. lie holds that our morals have scarcely any connection with our faith. He supplements the ethics of Christ with those of Plato and Mehemet. Ile holds that the completest of our moral teachers are men who have perfectly well known, and deliberately rejected, Christianity. Socially, he is simply $ pensioned clerk in the Eas t India Company. He is no thing but an author of the most startling social, econo s mical, b d y e l the i b deliberately o r a gf tr the h l a y et royal man ipalace, c chosen f and Westminster—then otby spiritual himself,p e paradoxes. but ixbtyeysh.oif the his That constituents, whole nobility and of the • • gentry, eli te of the moneyed • , int , jest, the bankers, lawyers, 'judges, physicians—above all, by tu. dignified clergy of the Establishment—to re-- present it anc: them in Parliament. The electors who return him, indeet., disavow his PrinciPfes, say they return him simply out of c:iriosity, only because they think "he ought to be in Paxliamen.!.." They may find, when too late, that this lazy laxity of ;mblic duty is playing with fire.—Weekly Despatch. Loss OF THE SHIP ESSE.X.—A•telegrT..ni was re ceived yesterday in Liverpool, announcing the oNa donment of the ship Essex, Captain Barnes, belonging to Fernie Brothers and Co., of Liverpool. The Essex was bound from Net , York to Liverpool, but shortly after leaving the, formOi port she sprang a leak, and the ,water continuing to increase Captain Barnes determined on abandoning his ship, which was done on the 2d inst. in long. 60 W. The crew were in their boats on the open sea until the sth inst. when they.were picked up by the Bre men ship Constantine, and landed at Deal yesterday morn ing, all well. When the Essex was abandoned she was in such a condition that it was not possible she could keep long afloat. She had only 3,000 staves on board, and both ship and cargo, We uuderstand, were fully insured. THE CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES. —Encourag ing reports reach us from all portions of the country. In the west the wheat crop will be much more than au average yield, and the prospects for ctrn are highly favourable. Oats and rye promise well,, but barley may be of small yield. There has been much more cotton and sugar planted in the Mississippi Valley than we were led to suppose from early accounts. The hay crop is enor mous,. Fruit is abundant and of excellent quality, and altogether the promises of the coming harvest are most satisfactory:— New York Herald. T HE MEETING OF THE FLEETS. -- I , .

RICHARD THORNTON'S WILL.- Mr. Smith, the record keeper of the Court of Probate, cor rects the statement made relative to the will of the late Mr. Thornton. According to Mr. Smith, " the will is not yet proved, and the account of the legacies contained in it, and also the amount under which the personal estates is sworn, is entirely inaccurate." Mr. Smith further states that the will cannot be seen by the public •until the pro bate is under seal, which, he is informed, may not be for some days: _ _ MIL PANIZZL—The antecedelits of kr. Panizzi are somewhat curious. A Modenese •by birth, he became a political refugee many years ago, and found an asylum in this country. During the earlier portion of his English career he occupied the honourable but compara tively humble position of teacher of Italian at the University College, Gower-street. Whoa the " delicate investi,gatiou" with respect to the unfortunate Queen Caroline took place, it is said that Mr. Panizzi evinced grOat aptitude in eluci dating mysterie,s,relating to that unhappy lady, and that he thus obtained the notice of Henry Brougham. At any rate his course subsectuently to that period was progressive until his guiding star culminated, and ho became principal librarian to the British Museum. We have only rumour, widely extended however, for authority in saying that the assistance of Mr. Panizzi has been often pressed into the service of the Foreign-office of late years, and that his di plomatic labours have largely supplemented those con nected wittt his, office in Great Russell-street.—Building News. . . ITIIE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE MATTERHORN.— The Dumfries Herald says :—" Thursday and yes terday had.been sot apart as an occasion of great rejoicing at Glen Stuart and throughout the Marquis of Queens berry's estates, in celebration of the majority of the young marquis, but the proceedings have been suddenly inter rupted by intelligence that will be received with the deepest sorrow throughout the county and district. A telegram arriving on Wednesday afternoon brought the lamentable news that Lord Francis Douglas, a younger brother of the marquis, aged 19, who had been engaged in an alpine ex cursion, had perished in company with two companions and a guide while descending the Matterhorn. We need y not remind our readers that Lord Fr ancis Douglas was a noblemen of the highest talents and promise, and t to be looked for from one h i e ng ancient name of Douglas whoha t great seemed t likelyg things w t e o re at b io eg rn in t u with qualities well worthy of that old and distinguished house." A WOULD-BE CALCRAFT.—One evening this week several urchins were amusing themselves a short distance from the metal bridge of the railway com pany, Montrose, when the case of the notorious poisoner, Dr. Pritchard, fell to be discussed. After expatiating upon the enormity of his crimes, his punishment was touched upon, several of the urchins expressing themselves as curious upon the mode of the infliction of that punish ment. One of them, more knowing than the others, pre mised to show thorn the manner experimentally, provided some one would volunteer to be Dr. Pritchard, .pro tem. One of them having agreed to this, a small rope was pro cured and fastened to the paling. The culprit having in serted his head into the noose, it was adjusted, and the little felloW wits then suspended a distance of several inches from the ground—the executioner remarking at the same time, " This is the way they are going to hang Dr. Pritchard." The urchin was then cut down, but not till he had been severely injured about the neck by the trope. SI3OS74ING INTELLIGENCE.
