MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is evidently assuming a con dawn bordering upon stringency. The commercial classes find some difficulty in negotiating first class short -dated paper at 38 per cent., and it is only in very exceptional cases that 34 per cent. is taken. The Alli ance B an k (Li m it e d) not if y t h at t h ey will be prepared to pay the coupons of the Mel bourne Railway Company. due on the 16th inst. In the Foreign Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been a fair amount of business transacted. Sugars have been in good de mand, at full rates ; for coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, while a few transactions have taken place in the new season's crop of tea, at full prices. Rice has been dull and rather cheaper, while considerable depression has been experienced In the tallow market, but a partial recovery has since taken place. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69 f. 22c. Heavy. The English Stock Market has denoted heaviness, and a decline of about -1 per cent. has taken place in the Funds, Consols being 89/ 1 for money, and 89 i. 90 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. xis • to 2s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 105 f ; do. Enlaced 51 per Cents., 109 ; do. 4 per Cent. Bonds, 21 s• ; and Bank of England Stock, 248 250. The Foreign Stock opened with a rather firm appearance, but subsequently a reaction took place, and a slight decline has been reported in most of the principal descriptions. Turkish Consolides are 494 ; Mexican, 241 1 ; the New Loan, 231 k ; Greek, 20/ 21; Spanish Passive, 29/ 30/ ; the Certificates, 144 15 ; Italian, 651 ; and the Con federate Loan, 6 7. In the American market quotations have been i naintained at about former values. United States Government 5-20 Bonds are 68 ; Erie Shares, 55 ; Illinois, 791 8 ; and Atlantic and Great Wes tern Certificate of Debentures, 871 88. Business in the Railway Share Market has been i nactive, but prices have slightly improved. North Western, have advanced 10s. ; and Great Eastern, Great Western, Metropolitan, Midland, and North Eastern (Berwick), each ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines show no change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued in very limited request. European are dealt in at New South Wales at 42 ; Hindostan, China, and Japan at 211 ; Hudson Bay Company at 151 16 ; and Peninsula and Oriental Steam at 76k.

COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL FOR WILFUL DAMAGE.—Ann Smith, a low-looking woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully breaking two panes of glass, of the value of £B, the property of Mr. Thos. Henry Cockhead, of the Queen's Head, 381, Oxford-street. Mr. Cockhead—About a quarter to one this morning, while busy serving in my bar, I heard a smash at my windows, and on going outside I found the prisoner in custody of a constable and two panes of glass in my win dows,• of the value of £B, smashed. I then gave the pri soner, into custody. _ _ . Mr. Knox—Do you know anything of the prisoner ? Prosecutor—About half-au-hour before she came and knocked at the shutters, and said she would do for the windows becausa we would not take her into the house. She was a very drunken woman. . . . • Prisoner—Every time I pass his house he points me out to people. About three months ago I charged him with cutting my head open. Mr. Knox—ls that true ? Prosecutor—Yes, and I gavo her money to settle it. James Livermore, 118 C—l saw the prisoner take up a stone and with it break two panes of glass in Mr. Cock head's window. I then took her into custody. Sho was sober, and said she would pay for the windows if she had time. Prisoner The prosecutor entertains an animosity towards me. Mr. Knox—l am going to send you to tho sessions. You people who break licensed victuallers' windows are under a mistake, as they insure their windows, and are not therefore injured by their being broken. You are liable to five years' penal servitude. The prisoner, who declined saying anything after being cautioned by Mr. Knox, was then committed for trial. Mrs. Ill'aregor's Levee. the title of Mr. and Mrs. Gourlay's new Scottish entertainment, which was given for the first time in London last evening at the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street, Strand. Mr. Gourlay has long been known throughout the United King dom as one of the best delineators of Scottish cha racters on the stage, and Miss Susan Goddard (Mrs. Gourlay) has also acquired a reputation for her vocal abilities. On the rising of the curtain we were presented with a very capital representation of a Fifeshire inn, and then we are introduced to Mr. and Mrs. M'Gregor, who are staying there for a short time during their wedding tour. The lady is j im Englishwoman, supposed to be doatingly fond of Scotch songs, novels, dances, and Scott's novels ; in fact, everything Scotch, even to her husband, Mr. Duncan IN regor, the happy man, who is everything a newly married man should be. Their joy, however, is interrupted by the arrival of a telegram calling him back to his office in Edinburgh for a short time. To amuse the lady during his absence, Mr. M'Gregor invites a number of Scottish curiosities, both male and female, to pay her a visit, and thus the oppor tunity is presented to Mr. Gourlay to assume a variety of characters of the most amusing descrip tion. First, we have " Andrew Gudale, the land lord o' the Thistle, Scotch to the back bane," and certainly a very entertaining fellow he is. Next comes Miss Kitty M'Tavish, a gossiping old maid, who is, according t o t h e d escr i pt i on o f t h e worthy landlord, " as fu' o' gossip as an egg's fu' o' meat." She is a maiden lady on the sunny side of fifty, with a little money and less occupation. She is in fact the village scandal-monger. Her little secrets involve everybody in the village, from Jenny at the mill, to young Bob Sparke, the banker's son, a wild daerin' lad, that gangs fox-huntin' and horse-racin', and that whistles "Dainty Davy" on the Sabbath day. The Luly aco,ny,to <7.l the merits of Xll th, people in the village, but her visit is cut short by the announce ment of the arrival of Mrs. Paterson, a strapping amazon, but " sair gi'en tae the dram." Miss M'Tavish disappears, and then we have the per sonage who thinks that for a cordial " there's naethin' like a drap of guid Scotch whisky," The tippling widow is excellently and judiciously por trayed, as Mr. Gourlay stops just at the proper point. Then follows " daft Wattey" and " Needle Tam," the latter of which, to our thinking, is the best character in the entertainment. " Needle Tam" is no knavish mendicant, he does not cringe or whine, but plies his profession, such as it is, in a manly way. He is everybody's friend, and is univer sally liked for his good . qualities and nobility of nature. He favours us with a capital song, " Kate Dal rymple," and, having taken his departure, we next have " Kirsty Claver, the Newhaven Fishwife," and, finally, the " Auld Village Nurse." From the above it will be seen there is plenty of character about the entertainment; but there is, in addition to the pranks of Master Gourlay, a merry lad of about 12 years of age, whose unexceptionable Scotch pleases the audience amazingly. He sings two or three songs, but here we must take objection, not to the abilities of the little fellow, but to the taste that selected for him, in a Scotch entertainment, such an unmitigated vulgar song as " Slap, bang, here we are again." R is a decided mistake, and the sooner it is omitted the better. The entertain ment is an exceedingly good one, and we can con scientiously recommend it to the pleasure-seekers o the metropolis. This is The Wealth of France. The following very able article we quote from the Herald of to-day : The advent of Prince Louis Napoleon to political power in France spread universal disquietude amongst us—as well as amongst most other European nations—and this dread of the consequences which might ensue was by no means allayed as he progressed step by step towards the attainment of the object of his ambition, until, by the al most unanimous will of the French people, he was placed in triumph upon the Imperial throne. It was feared that, smarting under the reminiscences of the deposition of the founder of his race, and anxious to consolidate his power by yielding to the wishes of a gallant nation panting for an opportunity to avenge past reverses, he should seek to wrest from their present possessors the territories torn from France by the Treaty of Vienna, and thus prove himself to be the inheritor of his uncle's policy and the redresser of his country's wrong. Few believed in the sincerity of the declaration, " L'Empire, c'est la paix;" but one consolation remained to those who dis trusted his intentions, "he had not the funds necessary to embark in war," and capitalists smiled as they buttoned their pockets, and declared that none should he get to carry out his aggressive projects. It was then the general conviction that money could only be procured to the neces- sary extent in England, and as those who could control its supply had determined to withhold it, it was hoped that the peace of Europe might be preserved from the lack o 1 means to disturb it. When the Emperor, passing over the great capitalists whose trade it was to negotiate loans for the Powers who required them, determined to appeal directly to his people for pecuniary support, the project was received with mocking incredulity by otr men upon 'Change. The attempt to obtain any considerable sum from a nation composed of petty landholders, in which there were no great proprietors. and but comparatively few ex tensive merchants, must, according to them, as a matter of course, end in signal disappointment ; but the sagacious sovereign persevered; he knew, none better, the vast, though widely disseminated resources of his subjects ; he tapped the spring of national wealth, and it flowed in super abundance, for three times the amount required was in stantly subscribed by the middle and lowest classes of so ciety, This unexpected result ~....ttriLuiaa L a , "ur acres to the intrigues of the French Government. The market was supposed to have been - "rigged," and it was almost generally believed that the success achieved was more apparent than real, most of the applications for in vestment being set down as fictitious, while even those who believed in the reality of the offers considered the first lonn as an experiment which could not be again re peated. Two subsequent appeals, however, eventuating in tenders largely exceeding in amount those made on the first occasion, convinced the most sceptical that money could be found out of England. Then the question arose as to the sources from whence it came ; and to this inquiry the recently published letters of our Special Correspondent travelling in France furnish, we think, a full and satisfactory reply. The advocate of farming on an extensive scale must be not a little surprised at his statements, although their truthfulness will be readily admitted by those who have resided for aby time in France, and occupied themselves in investigat'ng the condition of its inhabitants. Farm ing on a large scale, and on the most approved principle; may prove most remunerative to the individuals engaged in it. They, however, are but the few. And it may be fairly asked whether it tends to the general advantage thai those few should prosper, while the agents of their prosperity, their labourers, are steeped in ignorance and misery, or whether small holdihgs should become the rule, with their occupants, as is the case in France living in comfort, the national wealth being at the same time enormously increased by their industrious exer tions ? When we find that our hoMe growth of cereals, which in 1841 was sufficient to support 23,250,000 of our population, is now, with all the boasted modern improve ments in tillage, inadequate to the maintenance of 13,000,000, while a corresponding reduction has taken place in the amount of all descriptions of live stock, we may fearlessly assert that there is a progressive and rapid decline in our agricultural products, indicated but too truly by the re duction of the rural and the unnatural increase of the urban population, which, the moment a check is given to manu factures, becomes a burden on the land. On turning to the statistics of the Irish Registrar-General for 1864 we find that the number of horses in Ireland has di minished by no less than 50,000 within the last two years, while there was a deficit of 10,606 head of black cattle, and of 28,354 sheep in the stock brought for sale to the great fair of Ballinasloe in 1864, as compared with those sent there in 1858. Whether a similar reduction has taken place in the number of live stock we cannot posi tively say from the want of official statistics, although the fact that one-half of the number of beasts now sold in the Metropolitan Cattle-market are returned as of foreign growth goes far to support the supposition that such is the case ; and while this is the condition of agriculture in Great Britain and Ireland under the boasted sytem of ex tensive holdings, we find that the cereal productions of the small holders in France have been doubled in amount during the last twenty years ; their black cattle being now more than double in number what they were forty years ago, and their sheep having Increased by about five millions since 1852. That the French peasantry are content with their lot is made evident by their disincline - - tion to emigrate even to Algeria, whioh lies at their very doors, although every inducement is held out to encourage them to do so. The secret of their prosperity and happi ness lies in the subdivision of land, which stimulates them to exertion in the hope of becoming proprietors ; and this grand object of their ambition they aimost always attain, although as tenants they pay higher rents, hold under shorter leases, have less encouragement from their landlords than the farmer of any other country; and what no doubt would be by Irishmen considered more discouraging still is, that in one month after a half-year's rent falls due, and remains unpaid, they are liable to summary eviction, without any right of redemption, by the simple order of the justice of peace of the canton to which they belong, their cattle, crops, afM furniture remaining in the hands of the proprie tor, to be sold by auction in discharge of their arrears. Those small proprietors whose value is so little appre ciated in this country from the veritable conservative power of France—as proud of their petty and hard-won possessions as the long-descended baron is of his ances tral estates, and consisting, in a great proportion, of the annually discharged soldiers, who, while serving in, the ranks, have received an education which enables them to appreciate the value of their social advantages ; deeply imbued with the imperishable renown of the First Empire, and having been many of them participators in the glory of the present one, they form the bulwark which will defend the Government of the people's choice against the assaults of Red Republicanism or the intrigues of Legitimacy, and, should need be, they would quickly teach those who sought to overthrow the Sovereign who has so signally benefitted themselves and their beloved country that Paris is no longer France. The funeral of Colonel Plunkett Burton left his late residence in Grosvenor-square, on Monday morning the 11th inst., and he was interred in the same vault with his much-beloved mother, the Hon. Mrs. Ryder Burton, in Kensal-green Cemetery. The hearse was drawn by four horses, followed by three mourning carriages and four, and private carriages. Several peers came to town from a great distance in the country, to pay a last tribute of respect to one whose virtues and noble disposition adorned his life. TRUE MODESTY.—The Spectator publishes a letter addressed to its editor, beginning—" Sir,—l am a constant reader of your journal, and a great admirer of it. I find in it profound thought and true piety," &c., &c. [We cannot but regret that our very able contempo rary should have allowed itself the luxury of printing in its entirety an eulogium that, no matter how well deserved, appearing as it does (in the Spectator itself) amounts to nothing less than the grossest self-laudation.] KISSING A LADY IN A RAILWAY CARRlAGE.—Yes terday, at Croydon Petty Sessions, a young man named M'lntosh was tried for attempting to kiss a young lady named Sutton whilst passing under a tunnel on her way home in a South-Eastern Railway carriage, on the 7th of the present month. He was handed over to the police at the Croydon Station, and Miss Sutton was advised, as. well as anxious for the protection of other ladies, to pro secute. The defendant through his solicitor expressed great sorrow, and he was fined in the amount of £5, and 13s. costs. CANADIAN IMMIGRATION. —The number of people who arrived at the port of Quebec during the month of July last was 3,705, of whom 172 were cabin passengers. The steerage passengers consisted of 1,765 male and 819 female adults, 776 children between the ages of 1 and 12 years, and 173 infants. The total number of deaths on ships arrived during the month was 11. Twelve persons immigrated by parochial or Government aid, 1,168 persons immigrated from England, 625 from Ireland, 394 from Scot land, 437 from Germany, and 1,081 from Norway ; but the nationalities of the immigrants were-612 English, 822 Irish, 334 Scotch, 378 Germans, 1,360 Norwegians, and 190 Swedes, Danes, and French. The principal occupations re presented were-508 farmers, 665 labourers, 70 clerks and traders, and 522 mechanics. The total number of arrivals from Jan. 1 to Aug. 1 was 13,188, being a decrease of 212 in the immigration of the corresponding period last year, which was 13,400. A large number of the Norwegians who arrived iu July were entirely without means, and as their destination was the Western States they had to be assisted to the frontier. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR DERBY.--On Saturday evening Mr. Samuel Thompson, aged 29, of the firm of Thompson and Fryer, builders, Derby, and Mr. Robert Dickenson, aged 51, foreman to the firm, were killed by being thrown from a Whitechapel cart, the shaft of which snapped asunder while it was going at a rapid pace. The accident took place at Shardlow, about seven miles from Derby. THE OPERA HOUSES.—" Every one will be glad to hear," says the Atheneum, " that the project of making a gigantic speculation by uniting our two foreign operatic theatres—the result of which would have been fatal to art, in every sense of the word—has come to nothing." THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 12. T h e peninsula).- and Oriental Company's steam ship Delta, Captain Kellock, with th e a b ove ma il s, has arrived.

Eight fresh cases of cholera have occurred during the last twenty four hours, but only one death in the same period. The Tangier Board of Health has, according to letters from that town, decided that all vessels from Gibraltar shall be driven away from Tangier and the ports of Barbary, so that all intercourse must cease between the kingdom of Morocco and those places in which the Tangier Board of Health may decide that cholera exists. A private letter from Port Mallon mentions the arrival there of a large Egyptian steamer with 1,280 pilgrims on board _for Tangier. The steamer had lost some of her passengers, and decomposed re mains were said to have been found on board. It is further said that the number of pilgrims was originally 1,800. It is probable that some had been landed at Tripoli. The mission, about to proceed from his Majesty the Sultan to the French Court, arrived at Tangier on the 24th ult. The ambassadors arp the Governor Sid Ouled Eba Mohammed El Sharqui, maternal uncle of the Emperor, and Sid Hadj Mohammed Ben Said. The following British vessels have arrived here since the sailing of the last mail for Southampton:— Steamer Oswin, seven days from Grimsby ; steamer Poonah, six days from Southampton ; steamer Calpe, seven days from Liverpool; steamer Penin sula, eight days from London ; R.Y.S. schooner Heroine, ten days from Falmouth; brigantine Revival, twenty-three days from Swansea; and steamer Bienda, eight days from London.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE.—Robert Link, a little sun-burnt, weather-beaten seaman, who arrived, yesterday afternoon, in a ship from Callao, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently assaulting John Kent, police constable, No. 341 K, and John Kenny, No. 531 K. Kent stated that last night, soon after 11 o'clock, he met 11,0 pr;.uurtr in WM+. yl.es Commercial-1-o.a, a noise, swearing and cursing. He begged of the pri soner to desist, and the reply made was " I shall not mind what a Bobby says to me." He again asked the pri soner to leave the street, and go home. The prisoner made use of foul language and struck him on the face. He took the prisoner into custody, and led him a few yards, when he turned round, put his foot out, and throw him heavily on the ground. The prisoner kicked him several times while he was on the ground, and then fell upon him and beat him furiously for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Another constable came up and took the prisoner off him. Mr. Paget—Are you much hurt ? Witness—l am, air. I can scarcely walk now through the kick on the hip. lam very ill and sore indeed. John Benny, a police constable, No. 538 B, stated that he saw the prisoner on the top of the last witness, and took him off. The prisoner was very rough, and threw him. He got up, and the prisoner knocked him down, and bruised him. On the way to the station-house the prisoner was exceedingly violent, and considerable difficulty was expe rienced in getting him along. The prisoner, in defence, said he came on shore yester day and got drunk. He bad been knocked about and ill used, and did not know by whom. Mr. Paget—Y ou have violently assaulted these police men. It is an offence I always look upon seriously and punish severely. I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. Mysterious Death of a Young Lady. APPREHENSION OF TIER LOVER. The city of Salisbury was thrown into a state of consider able excitement en Wednesday morning last by a rumour, which was subsequently found to be true, that Miss Emily Sophia Blake, only daughter of Mr. T. J. Blake, surgeon, of Castle-street, had died during the night from the effects of poison. The young lady was only 19 years of age, and of an exceedingly attractive person, and her death occurred under somewhat unusual and mysterious circumstances. Late on Tuesday night Mr. and Mrs. Blake were alarmed by hearing loud cries from Miss Blake's bedroom, and on pro ceeding thither found her in great agony, screaming loudly, while her body was in a state of rigidity, and exhibiting symptoms of the presence in the system of strychnine. Her parents questioned her as to whether she had taken anything likely to cause illness, but could not obtain a satisfactory answer. They immediately sent for Dr. Roberts and Mr. W. M. Coates, who shortly afterwards arrived, and applied all the usual remedies in a case of this nature. On being questioned whether she had taken any medicine, she denied that she had done so ; but she was afterwards privately questioned by Dr. Robertson, who told her she was dying, when she admitted that she had taken three pills. Dr. Roberts asked her who gave her the pills, and she replied, " They were given to me by Mr. Storer, who said then_ -wort, te keep well." [Mr . . Storer was the late assistant to Mr. Blake.] Dr. Roberts asked her if any of them were left, and she replied, " There's a box in the dressing table drawer." The box of pills was found, and on being asked if that was the box from which she had taken the pills, she said it was. Shortly after this she fell into convulsions and died. On Wednesday, at 1 o'clock, an inquest was hold at the Council-house, before Mr. R. M. Wilson, coroner, when the jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the body, and the inquest was adjourned until nine o'clock on Tuesday (this day), for the purpose of having a post-mortem exami nation. On Wednesday evening Dr. Roberts, Mr. W. M. Coates, and Dr. H. P. Blackmore made a post-mortem examination of the body, when they found the principal organs in a healthy state, while the symptoms which appeared to have occasioned death, were such as would result from poisoning by strychnine. The stomach and its contents were accord ingly sealed up, and, together with the pills found in the box, forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis. The post mortem examination revealed the fact that the young lady was not in the family-way. It is evident from all the circumstances that Miss Blake was not in such a state of mind as to induce the belief that she took the pills with any intention of committing suicide, as she had written a letter to one of her aunts respecting a journey to London, and sho was in very good spirits a short time before her death. She was out for a walk on the Tuesday evening, and was met by various persons, who observed nothing unusual in her appearance. She also had a romp in the kitchen with the servants before she went to bed. Mr. Storer, the person who, according to Miss Blake's statement gave her the pills, was for some time an assistant to Mr. Blake. It is stated that he proposed to marry her, but his suit was rejected by her father, and his conduct not being satisfactory, he was dismissed. He left Salisbury for Falmouth about three weeks ago. After he was gone Mrs. Blake received a telegram from his sister, stating that he was very ill, and was in a desperate state of mind respect ing the young lady. It is said that Mr. Blake had no strychnine in his surgery ; and thus, if the pills which oc casioned Miss Blake's death ►ere prepared for her by Mr. Storer, the poison must have been procured out of the house, and must have been purchased for the purpose. The following aro some additional facts respecting Mr. Storer:—About two years since he entered the employ of Mr. Read, chemist and druggist, Salisbury, when he re mained as assistant for about six months. Previously to his engagement at Mr. Read's, Mr. Storer was employed by Mr. Stone, chemist, of Marlborough. While in Mr. Read's employment he conducted himself with great pro priety. Ho left Mr. Read's, and was for some time an assistant in a chemist's chop at Cheltenham. He subse quently returned to Salisbury, representing himself as a duly qualified medical practitioner, and was engaged by Mr. Blake as his assistant, with whom he remained until a few weeks ago. A warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Storer was issued on Wednesday, and it wee entrusted to Superintendent Caldow, who started for Falmouth on Thursday evening, in order to effect his capture. On Friday a telegram was re oeived announcing that Storer had been apprehended. He was expected to arrive in Salisbury on Saturday afternoon. —Sallsbury and Winchester Journal. MARKETS—This Day.

Crystal Palace. Yesterday was perhaps one of the most entertain ing days that has been spent at the Crystal Palace. The occasion was the annual benefit of Mr. Nelson Lee, a gentleman whose long connection with the theatrical profession has made his name as familiar to the public as a household word. Having due re gard to the varied tastes of his numerous supporters Mr. Lee had resolved to please every one of them, and to send them all home thoroughly satisfied, not alone by placing before them a programme full of variety, but such a one as could not be obtained elsewhere, nor indeed under any other circumstances. --- Ike began by inviting all who were disposed to re spond to his appeal to the Palace and its magnificent gardens. He entertained them with some admirable selections by the orchestral band of the company, followed by the dexterous performances of the " Hicken Family" upon their lofty, revolving pedestals —an ent erta i nment t h at met w i th the hearty applause of the audience. This was suc ceeded by the acrobatic feats of the Brothers Ellistra, and next came the really clever perfor mances of Signor Fortuny on the violin. This violinist, who has been but a short time in England, acquitted himself in a series of solos in a manner that took every one by surprise 'and earned him a most enthusiastic acknowledgment in the shape of encores. This concluded the first part of the programme, and the interval from two to three o'clock was agreeably filled up by a grand display of the fountains. At three o'clock the company of the Olympic Theatre, by permission of Mr. Horace Wigan, played the comedietta of " Always Intended," the caste being—Mr. Muddle, Mr. Mac lean; Charles, Mr. G. Vincent; Mr. Project, Mr. Horace Wigan ; Mrs. Mowbray, Miss Sheridan ; and Mary, Miss Ada Harland. This performance, it is hardly necessary to state, met with the most hearty applause. Next succeeded the " great and original Christy's Minstrels," including their " peer less tenor," Mr. J. Rawlinson, whose singing is so generally admired. After this the " celebrities fro m the halls of Merry Monms"—Vance, Lloyd, Lingard, W. Randall, and J. H Stead—severally acquitted themselves in their most popular songs to the grati fication of a very crowded audience. Mr. Paul Bedford also vocall y favoured the audience. The " Pantomimic Revel Extraordinary," in which some twenty clowns were introduced, succeeded ; and a series of selections on the great organ brought the entertainments to a close, and Mr. Lee's benefit to a very successful issue, there being no less than 14,000 persons present. Mr. and Mrs. Windham Again. The London correspondent of the Belfast News Letter is responsible for the annexed scrap of gossip in reference to this distinguished oouple :—" Mr. and Mrs. Windham ap pear determined to keep themselves well before the public. The interesting heir of F e lb r i g H a ll st i ll drives the coach from Cromer, and passes his leisure h ours i n the society nd o s tl ers. A profound excite mento was created in Norwich the o th er d ay b y t h e appearance of Mrs. Windham en Norwich of t cabmen a grande tenue. Had the Princess of Wales driven over from Sandringham, and promenaded the market-place, she could not have received a greater ovation. The charming Agnes was al most mobbed by ladies and gentlemen who would no doubt have been dreadfully offended had they been invited to meet Mrs. Windham at a dinner or a croquet party. The report soon got wind that she had come to Norwich to see her husband, with the view of inducing him to sign some thing or other, but as her husband was at that precise mo ment on his way to Cromer with his coach she could not see him. Subsequently she ordered a carriage, and followed him to Cromer. Certain of his friends, however, deeming it better that they should not meet, sent an express after him to Cromer, and he quitted the town a few minutes before his wife entered it. In two years snore, should he live, Mr Windham will succeed to an estate of about £4,000 a year, which, of course, will devolve upon the child born to Mrs. Windham a twelvemonth since. The existence of this child of course destroys the hope of the estates descending to Mr. Windham's other relatives. The costs of those pro ceedings in lunacy against Mr. Windham have at length been ascertained and paid. It seems, that so far from getting anything by them, their authors have had to pay £13,0(0, which has been contributed by Gen. Wind ham, the Marquis of Bristol, Lord Listowel, and ono or two others. Gon. Windham has not any property worth mentioning in Norfolk; and when, at the late general elec- tion, he endeavoured to propose a candidate in the interest of the Whigs, he could not get a hearing. How delusive is the vox populi ! At one moment he was perhaps the most popular man in England. The whole of the Norfolk estates which Mr. Windham had the power of selling have been purchased by a retired grocer in Norwich, named Kitten, who succeeded in acquiring a large fortune during the Crimean war by speculations in oil cake. The Lord Lieu tenant of the county and the principal families in the neighbourhood have consented to recognise the new owner of Felbrig Hall as one of the landed gentry, and have left their cards for Mr. and Mrs. Ritton. Two bales of this year's growth of Bavarian hops have just arrived for Messrs. Wolton and Co., Hibernia Chambers, Borough, and been forwarded by them to Evan Evan's, Esq., Yale of Heath Brewery, Heath. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Sept, 11. The September sessions for criminal business were con tinued to-day at Clerkenwell before Mr. Serjeant Dowling, sitting for the Assistant-Judge ; Mr. J. Payne, Deputy Assistant-Judge ; Sir James Tyler, Dr. Jervis, Mr. Good hart, Mr. Tewart, and Mr. W. P. Bodkin, justices. Mary Holden, 22, was charged with stealing several sums of money belonging to Henry Harris, her master. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted; Mr. Daly defended the prisoner. The wife of the prosecutor lived at 49, Duke-street, Man chester-square, and she had a sum of money in a chest in the back parlour, of which the housekeeper kept the key. There was another key of the chest in a wardrobe, and money having been lost she accused the prisoner of taking the key and so gaining access to the chest. The wardrobe was found locked and the prisoner denied the charge. The jury found a verdict of not guilty. _ _ _ _ _ John Kollett, captain of a barge, was indicted for steal ing a quantity of lead, the property of Messrs. Cubitt's, builders. Mr. Richard Harris prosecuted; Mr. Montagu Williams defended. It appears that the prisoner was the principal person on board the barge in question, and that the key of the fore hold in which the lead was found was kept in the cabin, to which others had access besides himself. Three men were on board at the time, but as soon as the lead was discovered made their escape, although Kollett ordered that no one should leave the barge. There was no evidence to show that Kollett knew any. thing of the load being in the hold, and a verdict of not guilty was taken. (Before Mr. Payno.) William Thompson and William Welch were charged with attempting to break into the house of Mr. James Mapleson. Mr. Collins prosecuted; Mr. Horry defended Welch. The prosecutor, the lessee of her Majesty's Theatre, re sides at 3, Park-village East, and on the night of the 2d of September the prosecutor's brother-in-law was aroused by some noise at his window. He jumped up and struck at the prisoner Welch through the window. The prisoners at that time escaped, but were subsequently apprehended at some distance from the house, Welch without hat or boots. The premises were searched, and a pair of boots and two hats were found on the lawn. Welch, on being taken to the station, immediately claimed the boots as his own, and they were given to him. The jury found the prisoners guilty. There were ten previous convictions proved against Welch. The Deputy Assistant-Judge sentenced them each to ,wo years' hard labour. Robert M‘Lean, a sailor, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously wounding John Wright. Mr. Richard Harris conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Collins defended the prisoner. It appeared that M'Lean, his brother, and a woman were in the Royal Pavilion publichouse, hVauxhall-road, on the night of the 26th of August, when a dispute arose respect ing the breaking of a drinking glass. The potboy of the house accused prisoner's brother of having done it ; the landlord and barman'proceeded to clear the house, and it seemed that after the prisoner was outside the act was com mitted with which he was charged. There was a struggle to get in again, andthe prisoner struck at the barman, soon after which the latter found that he was wounded. The defence was that the wound was of so slight a nature that any edged instrument, as the door latch or the buckle of the prisoner's belt, might have inflicted it. Mr. Antonini, the house-surgeon of Westminster Hospi tal, said the wound might have been occasioned by any sharp instrument, and was a mere scratch. The jury, after deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced to a fine of .£3. The next sessions commence on the 25th inst. A GRAND BAPTISM IN HAIVAII.—On Tu esday, the 13th of June, the young daug hter of the Bishop of Honolulu was baptised in the Honolulu temporary cathe dral at Peloula, which was very well attended. The god fathers were his Majesty the Icing, and Captain Hanham, of the yacht Themis, from England ; and the godmothers were her Majesty Queen Emma, her Excellency the Gover ness of the Island of Hawaii, Mrs. Hanham, and Miss Edith Staley. Her Majesty Queen Emma being absent on her visit to England, Mrs. Synge had the honour of being her sponsor on the occasion. The Lord Chamberlain, attended by Colonel Prendergast, the Hon. Kamakau, and the Hon. Makalina, appeared as his Majesty's sponsors, having the honour, by his Majesty's special will and command, to give the child the name " Kaholomoana," signifying the depar ture of the Queen to Europe, the child herself being born the very day of her departure. There were present, we noticed, his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, the Lord Chancellor, and many other distinguished persons. The bishop, assisted by his clergy, performed the service. —John Bull. • THE MATE OF A VESSEL BURNT TO DEATH.— Early on Friday morning a fire was discovered in the after cabin of the brigantine William, a collier lying at the Commercial Wharf, West Cowes. The crew were im mediately roused, and the vessel, being on the outside, was soon hauled off into the river. The flames were subdued in about half an hour, when the cabin was entered, and it was then found that the mate, James Penf old, had been burnt to death. An inquest was held the same day, when it appeared that he returned on board between twelve and one o'clock on Friday morning partially intoxicated. He asked some of the crew who were on deck for tobacco, but they did not give him any, and he went below, where they observed that he wanted the candle and some supper. There is little doubt that he accidentally set fire to his cabin, as shortly afterwards smoke came up the hatchway. The sailors attempted to descend in search of him, but were driven back by the smoke. A verdict of accidental death was returned. CAPTURE OF THE REV. MR. MORTON.—The Rev. Mr. Morton, lately one of Ignatius's 46 monks," and who, under pretence of being a regularly ordained clergy man, obtained the post of curate of St. Martin's, Worcester, and who whilst in Worcester was unmasked, was appre hended on Saturday night in Birkenhead. When he left Worcester the delinquent took away with him a gold watch and chain, which he had obtained by fraud from Mr. Slterratt, goldsmith, of Worcester, and upon that c h a rge he was apprehended. Yesterday Police-cons table Whit e h o use, of the Worcester police, was despatched to Birkenhead to receive the prisoner, who will be brought before the Worcester magistrates to-morrow. A reward of £5 had been offered for the apprehension of the prisoner. —Birtning4am Gazette of Monday, SPORTING I NTELLIGENCE--This Day. DONCASTER RACES —Tors DAT. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

GLADIATEUL The objection against Gladiateur on account of age was formally lodged by Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia, on Tuesday afternoon, at Doncaster, a proceeding which has created the greatest sensation. The stewards, however, after a consultation late at night, came to the conclusion that they cannot entertain the protest unless Mr. Graham is prepared with evidence in support of his extraordinary charge.

Another document, belonging to Mr. Collier, affords evidence that he continued to reside in Southwark to the year 1608. And a note taken from the poor's-book of St. Saviour, at the date of April 6, 1609, states him to have been then assessed to their relief at 6d. weekly, the highest sum of any one in the Clink Liberty. On Dec. 81, 1607, a brother, Edmund Shakspere, was buried in the church. It is probable that our great poet and dramatist retired to his native place about 1611 or 1612, not long after the production of his last play. On Bankside lived Beaumont and Fletcher. They lived together, and composed their celebrated joint productions. " Both bachelors lay together, and had ono wench in the house between them. There was the same clothe; cloke, &c., for them." Old Wit, in Shadwell's Bury Fair, is made to say, " I knew my friend Fletcher, and his maid Joan well. I shall never forget him. I have supped with him at his house on the Banksido. Ho loved a fat loin of pork of all things in the world."—South London Chronicle. A COMIC CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—Two men were lately overheard talking of the forthcom ing visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Kelso, an event in which they appeare d to take the g reatest intere st.

R EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES. —. The plant for the use of the southern embankment of the Thames is being landed at the wharf adjoining Westminster-bridge from the Crossness Works, which are now completed. Extensive premises are being erected on the ground for the convenience of the works, which will be commenced forthwith. It is intended to widen the narrow part of the Thames near Vauxhall, which is known as the Gorge, by the removal of the whole of Upper Fore-street, to which it runs parallel. ADVANCE IN STREET ARCIIITECTURE.—Every where we behold piles of warehouse s that have the di g nit y of palaces; individual traders even mock the greatest of guilds and corporations in the splendid edifices they rear for the purposes of trade, and the prevailing architectural tastes are sound, and in acer the ntur most p ar tyhence, i f London they a r are lasts re a l s l y o long, the fine frontag es now in course of erection will please the eye, because, for beautiful, and things beautiful are a joy for ever. West minster Abbey was always beautiful, and the headquarters of the Horse Guards were always hideous. Those who build well give to posterity a feast of beauty in brick and stone and wood, blossoming into imperishable flowers, and utter ing in graceful lines the permanence of all true principles of design and decoration, for principles are as eternal as the mind which appreciates them. Those who build badly tell posterity that once upon a time there were men who pretended to be exponents of art, but really were expon ents only of their own ignorance, and shameless perverters of the plainest teachings of nature. It is a matter for gene ral congratulation, that art is asserting her place and her rights amongst the agencies of true civilisation, and the re sult is, that recent changes in the architecture of the City are all creditable to an age and a place which have the ad vantages of wealth and power, and which make pretensions in Bishopsgate, there is no w bein g reared a to a capability for adva ncement. On the site of the old Flower Pot, pile of buildings which, for grandeur of design and rich ness of decoration, will probably rank highest in impor tance in the whole of London City. It is not, there fore, for destruction solely that the razors are at work.—Py Press, less stle I by gh -.:ess this Liss ier, out as at led in ,rl- - a )0 I 20i 10 100 t 100 100 204 204 100 100 all 100 100 {lOO 2 100 100 100 I 00 10 , ) 100 100 190 100 100 1( 0 100 100 3.12.
