• MONEY MARKET 40, AN COMMUCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK A rather dull inquiry for discount accommodation has been experienced this morning, and no disposi tion is evinced to take business under the Bank rate. The extra demand now made is believed to be merely temporary ; but there is less capital afloat, in consequence of some of the bankers having re called their loans in order to pay dividends for joint-stock companies. The liquidators of the Western Bank of Scotland have announced a sixth return of £7 10s. per share to the contributories. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been of a very satisfactory character. The demand for cloths and yarns at Manchester has been more animated, and a fair export business has been entered into at fully previous rates. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been consi derable activity, and the operatives in almost all departments are fully employed, chiefly in the pro duction of winter goods. The hosiery and lace de partments of Leicester and Nottingham have been busy, and in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been a more cheerful tone, owing to an increased inquiry for goods suitable for home requirements. Two o'CLocir At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 95c. Quiet. The English Stock Market has been inanimate, but prices have nevertheless. been well maintained at former values. Consols for honey are 89i I, and for the account 89} 11. Foreign Stocks show but very slight alterations in their value: Turkish Consolides are 49i I ; Mexcan, ex all, 22f i ; New Loan, 218 i ; Greek, 204 i ; Spanish Passive, 281 f ; Certificates, 131 i ; Italian, 63f ; and Confederate Loan, 57. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been very limited, and prices, with one or two ex ceptions, have remained depressed. Metropolitan have declined £l, while Great Western have im proved 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in moderate request, without however any material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in moderate request, and at slightly reduced rates in several instances. Union of London are dealt in at 53 ; Alliance at 2821 ; and Royal Mail Steam at 114 i.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF POLICE CONSTABLES.— William Watson, a respectable looking young man, de scribed as a clerk residing in Stamford-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Police-constable Charles Bluett, 170 C. The constable said that about 10 minutes past one on Sunday morning ho was in the Haymarket when he heard a great disturbance through some foreigners shouting a song. The defendant, who was with about half a dozen other men, was pushed, when he fell over his (witness's) foot and fell. On getting up he accused him of having knocked him down, and said he would given him (witness) a straight one, and then gave him a blow in the breast. The defendant said, with some companions ho was going in the direction of Coventry-street when they met a friend, and had not stopped more than a minute when the con stable (Bluett) came up and said " Move on, " at the same time giving him (the defendant) a push which made him fall, twisted his arm, and then, without any resistance on his part, took him into custody. He was told at the station that it was too late to call witnesses, and he had to get bail as well as he could. He was perfectly sober at time, and having been suffering from cholera for the past few days, thought he would have died in the cell, as he could scarcely breathe, and had to put his face to the grating to do so. The defendant called a witness, who said the constable pushed the defendant down and afterwards against a lamp-post. He asked the constable to let him go in and see the inspector, when the door was slammed in his face, and he was not allowed to go in, although he wished to be a witness for the defendant. Mr. Knox asked inspector Walker if that was the case, and whether it was the practice not to allow witnesses into the station on behalf of a person who was locked up ? Inspector Walker said he understood it was the case on Saturday night, but it was not the practice. Mr. Scott, of 6, Hatfield-street, Stamford-street, who was also called by the defendant, said he was with the do fendant and the last witness, and were just shaking hands with a friend when the constable (Bluett) came up and said "Move on," and before they had time to do so the constable seized hold of the defendant and threw him down, trod on his heels, and forced him against a lamp-post. Another constable (322 A) then came up and also seized hold of the defendant and nearly choked him. He went with his other friends to the station to see the inspector, and the constable at the door, in a jeering way, said, "Now what do "you think of that 2" and shut the door in our faces, and would not let us in. In answer to the constable the witness said he had been in the Hay'ine►rket before, but had actor caused the slightest disturbance. Cast of Dr Pritchard's Head. Mr. Walker said ho wished the witness to be asked whether he did not see the inspector (Draper). The witness said he did after some trouble, but then the charge was taken. It was too late for them to be heard, and the defendant was in the cell. The inspector said he could then do nothing in the matter, and that he was not a magistrate. In answer to Mr. Knox, the defendant said that bail was taken as soon as it could be procured, but ho believed that had his witnesses been admitted to the station the inspector could never have taken the charge at all. He had no par ticular complaint to make against the inspector, but he had of the way in which he was treated by the constable. He had several other witnesses he could have called. Mr. Knox said there had been a scandalous abuse of duty on the part of the police-constable (Bluett), who, if what the witnesses stated was true, was no longer fit to be retained in the force. He would advise the defendant to take out a summons against the constable who had mis handled him in the way described, and the defendant could then produce all his witnesses and the constable his. As for what took place at the station, he thought witnesses for a person taken into custody should instantly be admitted to the station. He thought it probable that the men out side excluded the witnesses without the inspector's know lodge at all. He should discharge the defendant, and advise him to take steps against the constable. FUNERAL OF MRS. FORWARD AND CHILD. (rnom oun OWN REPORTER.) RAMSGATE, Sunday. Another melancholy scene in the terrible tragedy perpetrated by the unparelleled murderer, Stephen Forward alias Earnest Southey, took place this morning, viz., the burial of two of his victims, Mary Anne Jemima Forward, his wife, and Emily Frances, his daughter. The bodies of the two un fortunate creatures were removed from the Infir mary, where they had lain since the murder, to the residence of the late Mrs. Forward, No. 61, King street, on Friday ; and it having become generally known that the burial of the bodies would take place on Sunday morning, an immense crowd of the inhabitants of, and visitors to, Ramsgate, as sembled before the house as early as 9 o'clock, with the intention of joining the melancholy cortege which conveyed the bodies to their last resting place. Shortly before 10 a strong body of the Ramsgate police arrived, and having to some extent taken possession of the street, the hearse and mourn ing coach drove up soon after, and in a few minutes the coffins containing the bodies having been deposited in the mortuary carriage, it drove off at a slow pace followed by the carriage with the mourners, which consisted of the two uncles of the deceased and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, in whose house it will be recollected Mrs. Forward and her daughter were savagely shot dead. The funeral procession proceeded to St. George's Church, at the entrance to which it was received by the vicar, the Rev. Mr. Nesbitt, and both coffins having been placed on biers, they were raised on to the shoul ders of the bearers and conveyed into the Church, followed by a large concourse of persons, the num bers remaining outside amounting to nearly a thousand. The funeral service having been read in the most impressive manner by Mr. Nesbitt, the bodies were then conveyed to the new burial ground, a short distance from the church, and here the whole of the spectators fell into something like order, and a more melancholy spectacle cannot be imagined than the long, silent, and sorrowing train presented. From the grave into which the two bodies were deposited the remains of one of Mrs. Forward's children, a boy who died some six years ago, had to be removed, and after the latter portion of the service had been said it was returned to its resting-place, and thus poor Mrs. Forward and her two children take their last long sleep together. The Rev. Mr. Nesbitt, seeing so large an assem blage before him, could not refrain from addressing a few short, but impressive observations to the crowd, during which he said the present was one of the most melancholy duties he had ever had to per form, and he hoped that the lesson it taught would not be lost upon those now before him. It showed to what terrible lengths a person departing from the right course could go. The man who was now in the hands of justice, from an honest man had by degrees become a gambler, a faithless husband, a treacherous friend, and a murderer. He besought all present to reflect on the terrible consequences of a falling from the course of rectitude, because one false step might, if not at once recalled, lead to the most lamentable and fatal consequences, conse quences which not only perilled life, but perilled the mortal soul both here and hereafter. The crowd paid the greatest attention to the observations of the rev. gentleman, and at their conclusion the as semblage quietly dispersed. MARK-LANE, The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very firm, and an advance of is to 2s per qr. took place in prices as compared with the previous week. All descriptions of spring corn changed hands at fully late rates. For flour 01 trade was firm, and prices had an upward tendency. _ _ _ On the Continent the wheat trade is firm on higher terms. Spring corn rules firm at full currencies. At New York prices of wheat and flour have advanced, in conse quence of unfavourable accounts in reference to the crops. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 21,402 qrs of wheat, 3,420 barley, 40,333 oats, 779 beans, 858 peas, 21,667 linseed, 2,200 rape and oilseeds, 2,447 sundry seeds, and 10 sacks of flour. The arrivals of old home-grown wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate ; the show of new wheats was limited. Owing to the unsettled state of the weather and the unsatisfactory accounts at hand respecting the progress of harvest-work, the trade was firm in the extreme both for red and white qualities of last year's produce, and prices were Id. to 2d. per quarter higher than on Monday last. Millers, however, operated cautiously, but at this advance, the supply of white, as well as a por tion of the supply of red, wheat was disposed of. Fine new' red wheat was quoted at 475., and fine new white at 525. per quarter. With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. The advance in the value of home-grown produce induced factors to demand 2s. per quarter more money than on Monday last for all descriptions. At this improvement a tolerably extensive business was transacted. Old Baltic wheats sold at high prices. Fine old Rostock wheat realised 58s. to 60s. per quarter. Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, at an advance in price of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Spring corn, afloat, held firm. The malt trade was firm, and the late advance in prices was well supported. The'supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Most descriptions were in fair average request at fully late rates. Scarcely any home-grown produce was on offer. The market was scantily supplied with beans. The trade was firm, at full currencies. Peas changed hands at fully late rates. The market was scantily supplied. The supply of barley on sale was limited, and consisted almost entirely of foreign produce. The trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The flour trade was very firm, and prices were on the advance. English qualities advanced is. per sack. Foreign sacks and barrels wore rather dearer.

Some of the beasts and sheep came to hand in inferior condition ; but the supply, as a whole, was in ferior. Sales, however, progressed steadily, at full quo tations. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of boasts fresh up this morning wore only moderate. Very few really prime breeds were amongst the supply. Prime Scots, shorthorns, Devons, and Herefords sold freely, at prices equal to Monday last. Inferior stock was a dull inquiry, and 2d per 81bs. beneath the rates current on this day so'nnight. The general top price was 5s 4d, the extreme 5s Gd per 81bs. Tho arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,000 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 105 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 200 oxen, cows, and heifers. The show of sheep was moderately good as to number ; but the quality of most breeds was inferior. Downs, half brods, &e., were in good request, at full prices ; but in ferior sheep were rather lower than on Monday last. The general top figure was Gs 4d; but a few very superior Downs sold at 6s Gd to fully 6s 8d per Blbs. • Lambs—the supply of which was limited, wore in fair demand, at from 6s to 7s per 81bs.

A DISGRACEFUL lioTlin.—Mary Ann Thurston, a woman about 35 years of age, w as charged under the following circumstances : John Bragg, armourer sergeant, 74, Regent-street, West minster, said that on Saturday night he saw her drunk in the street near his house. She was pressing the child's throat with both hand; and the child cried, "Don't, mother." He immediately interfered, and after some trouble got the child away from her, and she was then taken to the station. Mr. Selfe—Was she pressing the child's throat hard ? Witness—So hard that it was as much as I could do with all my strength to loose her hands. Mr. Selfe— What was the age of the child ? Witness—Sir or seven years. Mr. Selfe—Were the child's feet off the ground ? Witness—They Were. Defendant—l love my child, your worship. Mr. Selfe—That's your reason for hugging it so tight, I suppose. Defendant--She is very tiresome, and would not come home. Mr. Belfs—So you squeezed her throat as a remedy. Witness said defendant was drunk, and also struck him. A gentleman came to the station-house to speak against defendant. Defendant admitted she had bean drinking, and said she had not dons her child any harm. She was always a peace ful, well-disposed woman. Mr. Salle thought if that were true this was a great deterioration, and committed her for 10 days in defa - alt of paying a fine. THAMES. A DESPERATE CRARACTER.—Patrick Welsh, a tall and powerful man, was charged before lir. Paget with vio lently assaulting Policeman Watt, 1K 803, and biting his thumb. _ The complainant stated that he was on ,duty in Broad street, Wapping, when he heard a cry of "Stop thief." H e saw the prisoner running, and stopped him. The prisoner turned round upon him and struck him. The prisoner re sisted violently and bit his thumb. In answer to Mr. Paget, the constable said that the pri soner had only just been released from prison, where he had been a month for assaulting a constable. The prisoner was sent for a month to the Heusi of Cor rection. A DISORDERLY FEMALE PAUPER. —Rachel Noble, a young woman, an inmate of Mile -end Workhouse, was charged with the following assault. Mott, the porter, said that on Friday a lady came to the workhouse and said that she wanted a servant. She made choice of the prisoner. On Saturday she was told to pre pare herself to go to the lady. She refused again, when he told her again to prepare. She then threatened to break every window in the house. He laid hold of her arm, upon which she made a determined resistance, and bit his arm. By Mr. Paget—She has had many good places, but will not keep thorn, and she has frequently left the workhouse on her own account. On ono occasion she went to a situa tion, and was well clothed. She tore all her clothing, and returned to the workhouse. Mr. Paget described her conduct as highly improper, and observed she was ono of that class who think that they have a right to be supported by the rate-payers. Her conduct was very bad, and she must be punished. She was sent to prison for a month. DEATH OF LADY CAROLINE WOOD.—The above venerable lady died on the 10th inst., at Littleton Park, near Staines, after a somewhat protracted illness. TO THE.EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—O wing to an attempt of the person in Edinburgh who was permitted to take a cast of the head of Dr. Pritchard for scientific purposes to make it private property, a copy has only re cently found its way to London. The head is by no means of the low animalised type. The chief defect is in lack of development of the organs of " Firmness" and " Conscientiousness" rather than in .any unusual redundancy of the animal region or any of its organs. Had there been a full develop ment of the above-named moral organs, the head would rank, in point of shape, with the superior types. When we consider the vast importance of the faculties whose primary office is to give sta bility and fortitude, love of justice, and adhesion to truth and integrity, we can readily see what a wide inlet is afforded to any strong passion by which the individual, defective in those protective powers, may be habitually solicited. But thin parti tions divide moral weakness from wickedness. Un protected by innate firmness and integrity, Prit chard had long pursued a down-hill course, and descended by little and little to the state of mind which made him the creature of unfavourable cir cumstances—avowedly believing in God, and in a future responsible existence, whilst, like too many so-called believers, he was practically an atheist. In judging the man it should be considered that for many years he made friends and bore a good character among his companions in the navy ; and that, unlike many who have plunged into crime, it was comparatively late in life when the last increase of burthen broke the originally feeble back of the unfortunate animal, for into such had Pritchard at length become mentally degraded. Certain practitioners of phrenology in the pro vinces have made Pritchard's cast in all points con form:to his actions. This ex post factoskill in phreno logy is within easy reach ; but I venture to say that had Pritchard ever submitted his head to any of these oracles lie would have received for his money no small amount of laudation. The cast was very badly taken. The open mouth makes the feeble chin still more feeble in expression. The nose, though indi cative of breed,- has naturally a more prominent cartilage and more compressed nostrils than the physiognomist could be pleased with. That Pritchard had a good intellect, and was by no means " all evil," cannot be doubted. The cast is to be had from Vago, of Gray's-inn-lane, at a fair price. C. DONOVAN, School of Phrenology, 111, Strand, Aug. 14, 1865. The Officer Shot at Chatham. Major De Vere, the officer fired at by a sapper of the Royal Engineers at Chatham on Friday after noon, under circumstances already detailed in The Sun, was still alive at the time of the despatch of our correspondent's parcel yesterday evening. He was, however, without any apparent chance of recovery. The rifle bullet entered the back just below the right shoulder, and taking a slanting direction passed out an inch or two below the left breast, striking the ground a few feet in advance of him. During the whole of Friday night Major De Vere remained in an exceedingly weak and prostrate condition, but on Saturday he somewhat rallied, and was pro nounced better. Yesterday, however, unfavourable symptoms became apparent, and in a nswer to in quiries it was stated that he was hourly becoming weaker, although retaining consciousness. The accused, John Currie, who made the attempt on Major De Vere's life, has maintained the most stolid indifference since he has been in custody, and has frequently expressed the wish that he had killed that officer outright. On being informed that hopes were entertained that Major De Vere would recover he became greatly excited, and expressed the wish that he might die. He said it was " a pity such a tyrant as he had been should be allowed to live." Only 'a few days before the attempt on Major De Vere's life . Currie had been released from the cell 3, where he had been confined by Major De , Vere's orders for some trifling military offence. This, coupled with his having been reduced by the same officer to a lower class in his working squad, whereby his working pay was considerably reduced, appears to have induced him to make the determined at tempt to take that officer's life. Currie is described by his more intimate comrades as being generally of a mild and inoffensive disposition, and, from his general demeanour, not at all the man to commit the serious crime of which he has been guilty. RAGS.—The following information has been re ceived at the Foreign- office by telegraph from her Majesty's representatives in Belgium and Russia :—" The law for the abolition from the Ist of January, 1868, of the export duties on rags on the Polish frontier of Russia has been reduced to 20 kopecks.'" 47 i 131 301 651 5 4 4; 5, 1191 i 934 [o6* 1221 f 100 Sni 1331 4 n 3 10 129; 9 i 1111 11 671 661 81} 1 1865. 28,240 42r 6d to 42. 9d 2,351 15,375 2, 5? 11,132 45. 9d East London Industrial Exhibition- The ceremony of closing this exhibition, which during the last month has been held in St. Mary's School-rooms, Whitechapel-road, took place on Saturday. The comparatively brief period during which the exhibition has been open has been suffi ciently long to insure the entire success of the under taking, the receipts from visitors having been suffi cient to meet all expenses without the undesirable necessity which has arisen in other cases of making any demands upon guarantors. The close of the exhibition was only hastened by the fact of the school-room being now required for their ordinary uses. The articles shown were of more than ordi nary interest, being the productions of hard-working men and women inhabiting some of the most densely populated districts of this metropolis, and who car ried on their labours of love under specially disad vantageous circumstances. Although rewards were given for excellence in trade productions, as well as for specimens of skill and ingenuity in pursuits foreign to exhibitor's ordinary business, yet it was curious to obserVe that the majority of articles shown were the results of the producers' industry at times when their daily labours had ceased, and applied in a direction wholly different to that of their usual working hours. It was pleasant to find that a char woman had gained a silver medal for the excellence of a knitted quilt, and that an engineer's apprentice, aged 15i years, had obtained a similar award for the model of an approved oscillating engine ; but it was strange to find policemen exhibiting—one a violin and carved walking-stick, and another an oil painting; shoemakers and blacksmiths, in large numbers, send ing oil paintings and drawings, entomological col lections, admirably arranged and classified, and other specimens of patient industry and intelligence. Two lightship-keepers had sent work-boxes, tea caddies, and other articles of cabinet-work, while a mariner and a waterman had devoted their leisure hours to the production of elaborately designed rugs. A cheesemonger's assistant showed a model of an improved fire-escape, and an ingeniously conceived apparatus for preventing suicides, and finally adapted for Gravel-lane bridge —a spot frequently selected for attempts at self-destruction ; and plans for improved communication between guards and drivers on railways, models of calculating machines, locomotive engines, and public buildings were numerous. The closing ceremony was to have taken place under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftes bury (who opened the exhibition on the 12th of July), but in consequence of the funeral of his mother, which was fixed for Saturday, his Lordship was unable to attend. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., was in vited to preside and to distribUte the awards to the successful exhibitors. The Rev. G. 11. M‘Gill, in cumbent of Christchurch, Whitechapel, chairman of the committee of management, gave a brief out line of the financial results, and stated that the receipts from visitors had been sufficient to defray all expenses and to leave a small balance in hand. The cost of the 30 silver and 100 bronze medals to be distributed had been met by contributions from the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Shaftes bury, and other guarantors, who had kindly sub scribed for the purpose. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., then addressed the meeting, and said that although it was gratifying to find that the exhibition had been a financial success, it was equally gratifying to notice the large number of persons who had derived pleasure from visiting it. lie trusted that the records of the exhibition would be preserved, as they would afford an instructive lesson to some persons who thought the working classes did not require increased opportunities of visiting the national col lections. It had been his lot on many occasions to press upon the managers of our great national ex hibitions that great injury was done to the working people by those exhibitions being kept open during their industrial hours, and closed during their hours of leisure, when alone they could visit them ; and it was only in the last session of Parliament that he had induced Mr. Gladstone, who was one of the trustees of the British Museum, to declare that he would consider whether the great national institu tion could not be made available for the great bulk of the people. The efforts of those who had pro moted this exhibition might be of some service, in showing to the trustees of the British Museum the advantage that would accrue from opening that building in the evening ; for when it was seen how many thousands had paid their 2d. to visit a local collection of comparatively limited extent, no one could doubt how great a benefit it would be to the working masses of the metropolis if the British Museum was open to them at times when it was within their power to visit it. (Hear, hear.) The secretary then read a report, from which it appeared that upwards of 40,000 persons had visited the ex hibition during the month of its existence, the largest number in one evening being 2,336. There had been 1,100 morning visitor at 6d. each, and 1,000 child ren, belonging to 11 different schools, had been ad mitted at a charge of Id. each person ; 400 inmates of workhouses had also been admitted at a similarly reduced charge. The chairman then proceeded to distribute the medals, which were handsomely de signed and admirably executed, and the proceedings were closed with the customary votes of thanks. RESPITES.—The capital sentence in the case of Thomas Cockcroft, convicted at the Leeds Assizes of the murder of his sister by blows and kicks, arising out of a quarrel between them, has been commuted to penal servitude for life, on the recommendation of the presiding judge, who has expressed to the Secretary of State his concurrence in the recommendation of the convict to mercy by the jury.—Hughes, sentenced to death for murder at Middlesboro', last assizes, was respited yesterday morning. FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.—Shortly after 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out at a house in the Hatcham-road, Old Kent-road, in the occupation of Mr. Mead, chandler's shop-keeper. It appears that Mr. Mead _ had been sitting up reading, or at his books, when he fell asleep, and on awaking found the place on fir_ e e. th instantly alarmed his wife, who, with chil dren, was in bed at the time, and all managed to get out of the burning place in safety In a few minutes from the first alarm the house was a m ass of fire, and, in fact, may be said to have b urnt itself out, f or it was a considerable time before any water was obtainable ; inadequate supply, when it was obtained there was a ver y supply, a circumstance which caused a great deal of alar m amongst the inhabitants of the surrounding houses, the more especially so as there are some large factories and saw - m ills adjacent. It wa s stated that Mr. Mead was unable to save a particle of property. ARSENIC.—The Abeille Medicale contains an in teresting article on the medical appliances of this deadly poison. The author, Dr. Papillon, of Saujon, Cha rente-Inferieure, maintains, in allusion to a paper by Dr. Wale, addressed to the Academy of Medicine and advo cating the same views, that arsenic, instead of being a de bilitating drug, is, on the contrary, a strengthener, and one of the best remedies in cases of cachexy in marshy dis tricts, king's evil, lymphatism,chlorosis, and even consump tion. Against this opinion there is an opinion of Dr. Briquet's, which consists in measuring the pressure of ar terial blood after an arsenical injection into the veins. As the pressure appears to diminish, Dr. Briquet infers there from that arsenic exercises a depressing influence on the animal economy. But to this our author replies that any drug whatever, even iron, the greatest strenghtener known, will cause weakness, and even death, when so mis applied against the laws of nature. On the other hand, he contends that he has seen pale, sallow, weak, and thin pa tients use iron, vegetable tonics, and cod-liver oil for months and years without the slightest benefit, and those same patients acquire appetite, strength, flesh, and a healthy complexion on taking daily doses of a few milligrams of arsenic. He denies that arsenic may momentarily act as a stimulant, though when absorbed it ultimately debili tates ; and ho declares that he has caused arsenic to be taken daily for years together, and always found it induce regularity in the nutritive functions. He adds that ho has himself for the last five or six years been taking a daily dose of two milligrams of arseniate of antimony, and that to this practice he attributes not only the cessation of pal pitations of the heart with which ho was afflicted, and which prevented his sleeping on his left side, but also a considerable improvement in his general health and the disappearance of violent headaches which he used to have once a week for 24 hours at a time. Dr. Devergie, he fur ther observes, has admitted the tonic qualities of arsenic, but only in the beginning ; a continual use of this remedy, according to this practitioner, induces debility. To this Dr. Papillon replies that arsenic is generally administered under the form of Fowler's drops, or of Asiatic pills, with variable proportions of arsenious acid, the doses increasing progress i ve l y . In this way the body gradually receives more arsenic than is necessary, and it then of course acts live every other tonic, which by excess loses its strength ening power, and becomes debilitating ; but the dose of two milligrams may be continued with impunity for any number of years without any other effect but that of stimu lating and renovating the vital powers.—Galignani.

P. Wood, the Archdeacon of London, Mr. Hubbard, M.P., the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, and the Attorney-General, in consequence of his salary, which is paid out of the Colonial Bishoprics' Fund, being withheld. It sets forth that in the year 1841 the then Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Howley) called a meeting of the clergy and laity at Willis's Rooms, when it was resolved to make more adequate provision for spreading the principles of the Church of England in the colonies and depen dencies of the British Crown, the resolutions being signed by all the Bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland, who were appointed a com mittee ; Mr. Gladstone, Vice-Chancellor Wood, the Archdeacon of London, and Mr. Hubbard being appointed treasurers. When the Bishopric of Natal was founded the council of the Colonial Bishoprics' Fund agreed with her Majesty's Government to ap propriate for ever out of the proceeds of the fund to the use of the Bishop of Natal the sum of £662105. per annum. This annual income was duly paid to the plaintiff after his consecration by the treasurers down to and including the half-yearly payment due on the sth of April, 1864, but has not since been paid, and in the month of July, 1864, the plaintiff received a notice from the clerk of the treasurers, in which it was stated that they had directed the salary hitherto allowed for the Bishopric of Natal to be reserved and carried to a separate account, adding the:following reason for so doing :—" The council having received a caution against continuing to pay the salary hitherto allowed for the Bishopric of Natal from the Bishop of Cape Town, on the ground that he had deprived the Bishop Colenso of that post, and Bishop Colenso claiming to receive the same, it was resolved that, under existing circumstances, the salary be reserved and carried to a separate account." The plaintiff having stated that he makes the arch bishops defendants, as representing the whole of the Episcopal bench, and that he is advised that her Majesty's Attorney-General is a necessary party in respect of the questions which arise concerning the irrevocable appropriation of a portion of the fund to the endowment for all time of the see of Natal, prays as follows :-1. That it may be de clared that out of the said Colonial Bishoprics' Fund a sufficient part has been irrevocably ap_ propriated to the endowment for all time of th e Bishop of Natal for the time being, and that the said annual income of £662 10s. ought, out of the said fund, to be duly and regularly paid to the Bishop of Natal for the time being, and that the same may be ordered and paid accordingly. 2. That the first f ou r defendants may, in particular, be declared trustees for the plaintiff of the two h a lf- yearly pay _ m eats reserved and carried to a separate account as aforesaid, and may be d ecree d to pay the same to the plaintiff, with interest, from the dates on which they respectively became due as aforesaid. 3. That the defendants other than the Attorney-General may be decreed to pay the costs of this suit. 4. That the plaintiff may have such further or other relief as the nature of the case may require." Au appearance has been entered on behalf of the de fendants, and the case will be argued after the long vacation. SHIPPING INTELLIGENOE—This day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEIM, Monday Morning.

" Positively for one week only !" is the announcement mot with on the bills and programmes issued by the above artistes,: and we must confess we took advantage of the first night, fearing, from our previous experience of entertainments in :the above rooms, that their stay would not exceed, if it reached, the announced limit, but conceive our astonishment on arriv ing there and finding the rooms filled to repletion. Re served seats were not to be had for love or money; second seats uncomfortably full ; whilst the third seats were " crammed" with a highly -respectable audience. Our humble self was stowed away upon a side-stool, only get ting "a view" by a painful distortion of our person, hut we were content therewith, being :obliged "to grin and bear it." The burthen of the evening is pretty equally borne by each artist, though Dirs. Gourlay is herself throughout, and by her really charming manner gives great effect to the entertainment, whilst the presentation of the characters devolves upon Mr. Gourley, and they are al marvellously clever personations.—Brighten Gazette. AYTOUN'S SUCCESSOR.—The names of several candidates for the Edinburgh chair, left vacant by the death of Prof. Aytoun, have reached us ; and it is evident that Sir George Grey, with whom the appointment rest's, will have a large and varied list of men to choose from. We think it fairest in this vacation time not to give those candidates who are at home an undue advantage over those who may be abroad by mentioning any names.
