HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A reduction off per cent. has been made this morning by the directors of the Bank of England In their minimum rate of discount, which is now 4 } Per cent. This concession was expected, but it will not be the less agreeable to the commercial classes. Although the position of the Bank would u ndoubtedly admit of a greater relaxation than that now afforded; yet the lowering of the value of money cannot be too gradual, especially at a time when it can hardly be said that we have fully. and safely emerged from the results of the recent panic. The demand for accommodation this Morning has been a little more active than it has b een for the past few days, and the general rate is 44 per cent. The sum of £98,000 in bar gold and 46,000 sovereigns was sent into the Bank yesterday after noon. The various private and public discount houses, i ncluding Messrs. Alexanders, Cunliffes, and Co., the National Discount Company, &c., have made a r eduction in their allowance of interest on deposits t ° 3i per cent. for money at call, and to 3/ per cent. for seven and fourteen days' notice of withdrawal. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's t elegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 691.55 c. Heavy. The English Stock Market, after manifesting signs of depression, shows a firmer tone. During the earlier hours of business sales were effected, but subsequently speculators were induced to pur chase, and a recovery took place in values generally. consols are 891 for money, and 891 f for the account.

Bl A COSTLY MISTAKE.—In the Manchester County Court, yesterday, before Mr. F. Ovens, thejudge, &hawker, named Thos. Hoyland, sued Jacob Rosenberg, a Jew, to recover .£2, money had and received. Late at night, on Saturday, the 11th August, the defendant bought some potatoes from the telaintiff, to whom he tendered a half crown. The plaintiftgave him by mistake a sovereign and two sixpences in change ; the defendant alleged that one of the sixpences was bad, whereupon the plaintiff took both back, and gave the defendant another sovereign in mistake for a shilling. He discovered his error three or four minutes afterwards, and at once went to the house of the defendant, whom he had known for some years, but who was not at home. The defendant denied that he was the person to whom the sovereigns were given. His Honour found for the defendant. STAG HUNTING IN DEVON AND SOMERSET.— Some capital sport has been enjoyed during the present season in hunting the red doer on Exmoor and its borders. The deer are plentiful, thanks to the strict preservation of Mr. Knight, M.P., who owns the moor, and to the means adopted to prevent poaching. It is said that most of the poachers have been induced to become gamekeespers, by which the deer here have been much increased. A few days ago one of the most splendid runs for the season was en joyed by a field of between 300 and 400 horsemen and horse women —for many ladies were present. A fine six-year old stag was hunted for several hours, Mrs. Browne, the wife of a clergyman, and two other ladies being in at the death. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. Share I Railways.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. DARING ROBBERY.—Jamos Pagden and Wm. Bromley, two young men, wero charged before Mr. Alderman Finnic with stealing a leather hamper containing patterns of woollen goods, the property of Lewis Moir, a commercial traveller, from the passage of Mackie's Hotel, Ironmonger lane. Police-constable Whitney, No. 98, said that yesterday afternoon he was in company with Green, a brother officer, in Friday-street, and he saw the two prisoners and another man, not in custody, loitering about, and he and Greer followed them through Wood-street to Ironmonger-lane. Pagden was carrying a bag over his shoulder, which he gave to the man not in custody.. They stopped opposite Mackie's Hotel, and Pagden and Crawley went into the passage, and almost immediately after came out with the hamper in question. When they reached Gresham street Green rushed up and stopped them, and Pagden threw the case at witness. Crawley ran away with the other man not in custody, and they were followed by Greer. He took Pagdeu to the station, where ho gave a false address at St. John's-square, Clerkenwell, where his mother was living, but where he had not been for two mouths. He knew nothing of him, but he had some know ledge of Crawley, which induced him to watch the pri se ners. Police-constable W. Greer, 280, corroborated the evidence of Whitney, and said ho took the prisoner into custody. On searching him at the station ho found on him 6s. in silver and two knives ; and on Crawley some coppers and a knife. He knew Crawley, who had been convicted of stealing an umbrella, and was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction at Holloway. The lady to whom the pro perty bolodged took an interest in the prisoner, whom she visited at Holloway, and got into a situation on. his release, in which he remained only a short time. James Brown, a porter at Mackie's Hotel, deposed to having seen the hamper in the passage about half-past 3 o'clock. Mr. Moir identified the property as being his, and also to the hamper being deposited at the hotel at 10 o'clock in the morning. The prisoners were remanded for a week in order that the officers might endeavour to apprehend tho man who had escaped, and who was known to Green. BOW-STREET. In reference to the case of George Andrews, who was yesterday placed at the bar of this, court, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, of the Strand, the prisoner gave his address at the Somerset Hotel, Strand. Mr. J. W. Curran, the pro prietor of that establishment, requests us to state that no such person has been staying at the hotel, neither had any goods been taken in for him. Mr. Amery, the witness who gave evidence on the occasion, was reported to have stated that the goods were sent to the Somerset Hotel, which was a mistake. The goods, we believe, were ordered to be forwarded to an hotel at Margate. Atlantic Telegraph Company. An extraordinary general meeting of the directors and shareholders of this company was held to-day at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the consideration of the present position of the company, with a view of adopt ing measures to extinguish the amount now payable pre ferably to the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, viz., thd sum of .£12.5,000 a year and half the surplus profit be yond the eight and four per cent. to the preference and or dinary stock of the company. The lion. J.) S. WORTLEY occupied the chair, and, in opening the proceedings, congratulated the meeting on the faVourable circumstances under which they now met together. Formerly lie had had to encourage the timid and animate the strong to complete the great work they had in hand,, but now the task was simply finished, and their perseverance was the theme of universal admiratiOn. The chairman then stated the steps proposed to be taken with respect to the financial position of the company, the effort that was being made to reduce the charge of ..£2O per message, and he then moved the following rosolutions, whichwere carried by the meeting " That the directors and shareholders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company assembled at this extraordinary general meeting, desire to convey to the commanders, officers, and crews of the respective ships employed in the recent expe dition, and to the engineers and electricians, together with their respective assistants, engaged in the laying of the new eable, and in the restoration of the cable of 1865, their earnest thanksl and congratulations, and to express their sincere admiration of the eminent nautical and scientific skill and ability, in conjuction with inflexible courage and patient perseverance, which have been displayed by all in their several departments, and whereby the success of this remarkable enterprise has been so satisfactorily realised." " That the directors be, and they are hereby authorised to issue for the general purposes of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, the balance of the company's unissued capital to the extent of £BOO,OOO, either as ordinary capital. or as second preferential capital, bearing such a rate of dividend as the board may deem it necessary to attach thereto ; and that the directors be further authorised to issue the said capital at such time, in shares of such amount, and on such other conditions as may seem to them desirable for the in terests of the undertaking." "That the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany be, and they are hereby authorised and requested to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for power to increase the capital of the Company, with the consent of the shareholders, from its present nominal amount of £2,000,000, to anominal amount not exceeding £5,000,000, inclusive of the existing Capital. And they are hereby , further authorised and requested to make similar applica tion for such other additional powers as may be deemed advisable for the more convenient and successful carrying out of the undertaking. At the extraordinary general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the English and Swedish Bank the report presented states that the gross profits for the half-year, including a sum of £2,492 4s. 10d. brought forward from the last account, amount to £26,171 13s. id., which, after writing off ascertained bad debts, deduction of current expenses, and rebate of interest, leaves a net profit of £12,569 18s. 7d. The amount of calls outstanding on the 30th June was £22,420. This has been reduced by subsequent payments to £5,075, and the directors have the in tention to forfeit all shares on which the call shall remain unpaid on Sept. 30. The recent financial crisis in England, which also extended to Sweden, was na turally not without its influence on the business of the bank, and in consequence a portion of its funds is for the moment unavailable. The amount inoperative does not however exceed the sum of £140,000, against which the bank holds securities. The realisation of these securities must necessarily be a work of time, and until this has taken place it is impossible to state with certainty what pro portion of the above amount may be ultimately irrecoverable, / but the directors, after a most careful investigation of the several accounts, beg to express their opinion, supported by that of their general manager in. Sweden, that under the most unfavourable eventualities at present to be apprehended, the utmost loss cannot exceed £100,000; while, on the other hand, the altered state of the money market will, in all probability, considerably diminish this estimate by enhancing the value of the securities in question. Mean while the directors regret that under these circumstances, the payment, on this occasion, of an interim dividend cannot be made. It there fore becomes the duty of the directors to state what, in their judgment, is the best 3ourse to pur sue; and they propose and recommend to reduce the working capital of the Bank, by writing off £5 per share from the £25 now called up, thus reducing the paid-up capital from £25 to £2O per Snare. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1866. 1865.

COUNT BAcioc9HT, who died on Sunday night, at the age of 63, was the son of Count Francis Baciocchi, colonel of the Noble Guards of the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Elisa Bonaparte, who was married to Prince Baciocchi, his relation. He was a senator, first chamberlain of the Emperor, superintendent-general of theatres, grand officer of the Legion of Honour, and deco rated with most of the European orders. He had no less than 18 grand cordons. From a biographical sketch of him in La France of the other evening we take the subjoined extract :—" The Empress gave him many proofs of affec tion, and recently, before her departure from Biarritz, she paid him a last visit. He wept, he who was little apt to Weep, when the Sovereign and the young Empress, with touching effusions, pressed him in their arms. He wept again when relating it to his doctor. On the morrow of that visit the Empress, by an act of unexampled favour, sent to him to keep in his room so long as his illness should last— as she had kept in hers at the moment of the birth of the Imperial Prince—a jewel which is assuredly the most pre cious of the Crown of France. This is a reliquary, the skilful work of Fremont Meurice, in which is seen a piece of the Swaddling clothes of our Saviour, a portion of the Virgin's veil, a fragment of St. John the Bapti§t's wind ing -sheet, and in the middle, suspended in the manner of a pendulum, Charlemagne's talisman which the magistrates of Aix-la-Chapelle gave to Napoleon I.; finally, a frag ment of the bone of the great Carlovingian's right arm. The talisman, of the dimensions of a 5f.-piece, is formed of an aqua marina, which contains, and.through which one perceives, two fragments of the true Cross, themselves crucially disposed. The letter which accompanied ,the reliquary, and which the count showed only to a few pri vileged friends, is a monument of fervent piety and of lofty reason, in the most elevated form, worthy of an Em press of France." According to the Count's wish no funeral honours will be done him in Paris ; lie is to be buried in a patrimonial chapel at Ajaccio, his birthplace. A PARTY OF ENGLISH DBOWNED IN THE NILE.— A letter from Alexandria in the Messager du Midi states that an accident lately took place on the railway bridge over the Nile at Kafres-Zaiat from the bursting of a boiler, by which seven persons were killed and a great many wounded. " I have also," says the writer, "to mention the catastrophe to an English family, whose boat was capsized on the Nile, where all were drowned except a young girl rescued by an Arab. Since then the friends of the victims have been strenuously demanding that search should be made for the discovery of the bodies, but the Arabs have shown a marked reluctance to act, and the bodies of the father and one of the female servants were brought up in a net without their aid. Two Greeks afterwards found the corpse of another servant on the opposite bank. A finger and the extremities of both ears had boon cut off to obtain possession of the gold ornaments. Just as the body was being bnried a great number of Arabs came down and forced the Greeks to throw it back again into the river to prevent discovery of the mutilation. You may imagine that the English here are greatly irritated at all this, and their Consul has demanded prompt and severe justice from the Viceroy. The cheick of the village where the act was committed is personally responsible, and has offered a large sum to prevent the affair being followed up ; but the Eng lish have rejected all proposls of that nature, and it is hoped that the Government will continue inflexible." HORSEFLESH seems—horrible to relate—to be becoming popular in Paris. According to the French cor respondent of the Standard a working man advertises that he will offer a grand banquet at a place in the suburbs on the 30th inst., at which nothing but horse will b e con sumed. The menu is a curiosity. Horse-soup to begin with ; saucisson de cheval to follow as a remove, then boiled horse au ?laurel; horse ala mode, as an entrée; for vege tables, beans fried in horse oil; horse for a roast; and, finally, salade a l'huile de cheval. This equine repast is to . be open to all who choose to pay two francs—"ladies ad mitted," adds the prospectus. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Gardevisuro has returned home. Breeze has got into much better work, and this morning had a long gallop by herself over Long Hill, her usual companion, Lothario, being indulged in trotting only, after his severe race with Knight of the Crescent and Saveruake, whom he divided yesterday in the Newmarket St. Leger, which must give him a groat chance for the Cesarewitch, which we have all along said he bad. Jollity again had a two mile gallop ; and Python, Nukuheva, and Volunteer were following Vulture. Hippia and Jasper galloped steadily with Guinivere ; and Emigrant was leading Gas and Marmite. Tragedy was schooling the Rake ; and the Hermit was at exercise with Breadalbane, Knight of the Garter, Satyr, and Problem. Friponnier was trotting, but Miss Harriette, Qui Vive, Artesian, Ceerops, Littleport, Chapel Royal, Ly tham, Friday, and others of Joseph Dawson's strong team exercised freeely. Mazurka led Court Card a mile, and Stradbroke went about the same distance. Gladiateur gal- loped all two miles, going as strong as ever. Jennings was also schooling Imperator, Dragon, and Trocadero, who look very big and well. We had several other Derby horses working nicely, including Julius and Bombastes from Mat Dawson's, who were accompanied by Pericles and Opoponax. The Hatter was galloping with La Dau phine. 11 Re Galantuomo has gone into Mr. Ten Broeck's stable ; and Baron Rothschild's Robin Hood and Lord Stamford's Gownsman have broken down. Saladin went a mile and a quarter, but is very big. Master Richard galloped a mile and a half. Others of of John Day's cantered smartly two or three times. Star of India, Lochaber, and Sister to Hippolyta did good work. Bumblekite was very fidgetty. Blink hoolie and Verulam looked very fit, as did Ettrick, Reign ing Beauty, and Sour de Charite. Nightingale has re turned to Dover's charge, .and has gone northward. Pedagogue is not ripe yet. Anti-Macassar and Mount Palatine galloped a mile splendidly, as did Vespasian and Broomielaw. THAMES. Emma Anderson, a violent-poking woman, was charged, before Mr. Woolrych, the sitting magistrate, with stealing 14 herrings, and breaking windows to the amount of ss. Augusta Leigh said that she kept a general shop at No. 2, Bow-common-lane, and some days since she took out a summons against the defendant for an assault, which was returnable on Saturday next at this court. Yesterday afternoon the defendant came to her shop, and, after using very bad language, she stole 14 herrings from the stall and dashed them through the windows, breaking glass to the value of ss. The defendant denied the statement of the complainant, and said that she kept a " leaving shop," and she left a chair in pledge for ls., and when she went for it the com plainant wanted 9d. for the interest. She refused to pay more than 2d. interest, and took up her chair, when she struck her over the hand with a knife. This the complainant stoutly.denied. The magistrate said that it was quite clear the defen dant was a violent woman, and if she chose to pay 9s. he would end the case at once. This was refused, and the husband was bound over in the sum of £l5 for the appearance of his wife on Saturday next. WESTMINSTER. WIFE BEATING.—Charles Ribbon, a labourer, was charged with assaulting his wife. The poor woman had one of her eyes bandaged. On being sworn, she stated that she did not wish to press the charge against her husband, but merely wished him bound to 'keep the peace. She admitted that he had inflicted the injury sho now bore. Mr. Arnold—Let the witness stand up. Mary Ann Welding said that last night she was walking behind the complainant, who was with a female cousin. Her husband came up, and, with some appellation, struck the complainant brutally. Defendant—She was having an altercation with her cousin, and I did not like to hear it. The Wife— I don't want to press the charge against my husband this time. I only want him to keep his hands off me for the future. Mr. Arnold—l have made up my mind never to pay any attention to the requests made by wives in cases of this description. With few exceptions their wish is always to screen their husbands. I am determined for the protec tion of other wives to punish all such offenders. I shall commit you for a month to the House of Correction, and require you to enter into your owu recognizances to keep the peaoo for three months. MARKE TS. --This D ay. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

CARRIAGE SALOON FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES. —A very handsome and elegantly fitted-up car riage saloon has been erectedin the carriage department of the Great Northern Railway Company, at Doncaster, for the Prince of Wales. In design and general execution - the saloon is a very admirable piece of work. It is '27lt. in length, and the internal height is 7ft. lin., so that the tallest person can stand erect at any one of four doors by which access is gained. A division in the centre divides the saloon into two equal parts, and at each extremity of the carriage a lavatory has been fixed. The furniture of one compartment corresponds exactly with the other, ex cepting that one of the arm chairs is a little less than the other and more suitable for a lady; in fact it is intended for her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. Both compart ments are elaborately fitted up. Two sofas similar in de sign to the old-fashioned sofas that have almost gone out of fashion, a handsome oval table, and arm chair, form the furniture of each compartment. The sofas are covered with morocco leather, royal blue in colour, and the wood work which separates the lavatories is covered with blue cloth, padded so as to form a very tasteful design, and imitation columns are placed on each side of the door. The centre of the roof of each compartment is covered with white silk moire antique ; a different design is plated at the sides. Blinds are attached to each window, with tassels of blue and white ; and similar tassels, and border to correspond, are attached to the cushions pro vided for each sofa, the seat of which has the peculi ar ity of being so made as to draw out about six inches, t o g i ve greater of width reposing in thereupon.cas oof his A royal o y r uas carpet cov e r s thel highness being de sirousentire flooring. The handles of the doors are plated silver, and the external ironwork is copper bronzed. The furni ture in the saioon is of the best walnut ; tho carriage itself is of teak (Baltic) timber, varnished and finished in a man ner to show the grain of the wood to the best advantage. The body of the saloon rests on india-rubber blocks ; and to provide for the breaking of any one of the springs upon which the saloon rests, pieces of india-rubber are placed over each, so that, should a breakage occur, the ironwork will not come in contact with the woodwork. The six wheels are all " blocked," which may be better explained by stating that the centre is filled in with wood ; and every care has been taken to give perfect ventilation, and by an admirable plan the rattling of the windows is prevented.— Doncaster Gazette. FRENCH HOPS.—A favourable report is given of the hop haryot hi Alsace. THE CHOLERA. TUE METROPOLITAN VISITING SOCIETY AND THE MANSION-HOUSE COMMITTEE. Yesterday afternoon a conference, adjourned from 'Wednesday, the 19th inst., took place between the representatives of the Metropolitan Visiting Re lief Association, of which the Bishop of London is president, and the Mansion-house Committee, for the purpose of considering the best means of unit ing the two funds, so as to enable the administra tors of both to work satisfactorily together in pro viding for the relief, permanent and otherwise of the large number of young persons who have been made orphans by the cholera. Lord Ebury pre sided. Sir Mordaunt Wells said that since the last meeting he, on the part of the Mansion-house Com mittee, and Mr. Tilson, on the part of the Metropo litan Visiting Society, had had consultations, and had found that the Mansion-tiouse Committee had 505 orphans to provide for, and the Metropolitan Visiting Society 510, making together 1,015. He and Mr. 'Filson had gone together through the lists, and they had struck off all those they supposed not to be properly chargeable to either fund. He then thought that, considering the whole of the circum stances, each fund might maintain an independent course of action, a plan all the more advisable, he thought, considering the mixed character of each committee. Even then there would remain the very important question of orphanswhich each committee must necessarily take up. During that day 19 cases had come under his own consideration in connection with the Mansion-house Committee, and these could not therefore be included in such a final settle ment as he intended to suggest that day. He pre sumed that independent of the 1,015 orphans he had mentioned there might be 60 or 80 more in connec tion with each society, and - the list of their names being sent by one committee to the other might be dealt with hereafter. If they did not now deal with the lists which had already beenkprepared, he feared they would never come to arrend of their work. Considerable discussion took place, and ultimately the following resolutions were adopted That the cordial thanks of this committee be rendered to Sir . Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson for the great trouble they have taken in examining and classifying the list of orphans now laid before the committee, and that the proposition of dividing the lists into two iortions as equal as they can be for the separate ac tion of the two committees be adopted. That no ap plication for relief by cholera orphans, children of parents already deceased, be received after Oct. Ist, and that it be left to Sir Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson to adjudicate upon any claims that may arise in the interim, and to divide the sa.ne between the two funds." The following is the official return of deaths in London from cholera and diarrhoea registered on Tuesday, Sept. 25 Cholera,. Diarrhoea.. West districts 1 1 North districts ... 9 3 Central districts ... 5 3 East districts ... 6 6 South districts ... 9 ... 3 Total ... 30 A Melancholy Belies of Casualties. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Last Friday afternoon a widow named Ann Brown, a bleachfield worker at Calder bank, Lochwinnoch, near Glasgow, while standing on the edge of a boiler containing boiling ley, into which she was emptying some of the cold liquid, slipped and fell into the cauldron. Her screams brought a me of the workers to her assistance, and she was taken out almost insensible. DEATH AT A RAILWAY STATION OF A MAN UN KNOWN.—On Monday an inquest was held at Crofton, near Wakefield, zelative to the death of an unknown per son who fell down dead on the platform of the station at that place, on Sunday night, just after having taken a ticket for Wakefield. From inquiries he had previously made of a porter, it seemed that ho intended to take the Barnsley train from 'Wakefield. He was attired in a re spectable suit of black. In his fob a silver watch, made by Taylor, of Pontefract, and which had seemingly been lately repaired by Ramsdon, of Wakefield, was found. A hymn-book, inscribed with the name cif William Gowan, and a printed bill respecting the Cawthorn Wesleyan Re form Chapel anniversary, were found in the deceased's pocket, but there was no evidence as to who he was. He appeared about 45-years of ago.'. The jury returned a ver dict of "Died from natural causes." ' FATAL FALL FROM A CIIURCH.—On Tuesday afternoon John Nelson, foreman to Mr. Harrison, builder, whilst superintending the work connected withthe repairs of St. John Micklegate, York, steppedfrom the roof through a window upon a plank which had been fixed with others under the tower. The plank gave way, and ho fell to the floor with great force. Although taken up alive he died shortly afterwards. A CLERK KILLED AT A RAILWAY CROSSING.— On Monday evening Mr. James Smith, bookeeper, in the employ of Messrs. Day, Nephew, and Sons, Dewsbury,was passing over the Dark-lane crossing, when a train from Heckmondwike dashed over him, cutting off both his legs, and otherwise mutilating the body. The deceased was a married man, and has left four children. FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN OMNIBUS DRIVER.— An inquest was held at Manchester on Tuesday on the body of William Tomlinson, aged 52, the driver of an omni bus. On Saturday last, whilst the deceased was driving past St. Petet's Church, h 9 was observed to slip off his seat, and fall on to his head. He was taken to the infir mary, where be died. Deceased was in the practice, while whipping his horses, of leaning over the footboard, and it is supposed that his foot slipped on this occasion whilst he was so doing, the footboard being in a wet condition. Verdict—Accidental Death. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MERCHANT'S CLERK. —On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Vestry Hall, Fair-street, Horsleydown, on the body of Mr. John Hargan, aged 37 years, a clerk employed at a wharf in Upper Thames-street. On Sunday morning deceased was seen by a friend in Rotherhithe in a state of intoxication. This friend offered to see him home, but was obliged to leave him as he abused him for not lending him some money. The body of the deceased was found in the river near Pickle Herring Stairs. He had been drowned. The jury, after a short consultation, returned the following verdict :—That the deceased was found drowned in the 'river Thames, but how he came into the said waters there is no evidence to show. ACCIDENTAL AND SUDDEN DEATHS.—On Tues day an inquest was held at Paddington on the body of Charles Moat, a navvy, who was killed by a ton of earth falling on him while excavating a tunnel on tie new Mid land Line near Kentish Town. A verdiet of Accidental Death was recorded.--The same day an inquest was held at Drayton, on the body of Walter Hunt, aged 32 years. The deceased was engaged on the third floor of a water mill putting corn into the hopper, when he fell against the large rigger (a vertical wheel) which drives the machine, and his head became entangled therewith. Although he was released almost immediately, the pressure was so great on the head and neck as to deprive him of life. Verdict, Accidental Death. - In the,evening another Inquest was held on the body of Elizabeth Jane Roebuck, a servant, aged 55, who fractured her skull by falling down the area steps at the residence of Mr. Oliver, 37, Glouces ter-square, Hyde-park, on Sunday night last. A verdict of Accidental Death was roturned.--An inquest was also held in Cow Cross-street, on the body of James Burn, aged 46, a harness maker. Deceased earned good wages, but was in the habit of going "on the drunk" for several weeks. The last of those fits of intemperance proved fatal. A verdict was returned of Death from Disease of the Heart, accelerated by intoxication.—The same coroner also held an inquest at the Marylebone Workhouse on the body of Margaret White, aged 55, an habitual drunkard for the last 20 years. On Friday night she drunk a quantity of rum, and was found dead in bed on the following morning. The jury returnei a verdict of Death from Serous Apo plexy, accelerated by habits of drunkenness. A CHILD THREE.YEARS AND A HALF OLD SEN TENCED TO HARD LABOUR.—The following circumstances relating to a case disposed of at the head police-office, Dublin, on Saturday last, have been communicated to us : " Shortly after mid-day on Saturday, two children, named Bryan—one a girl aged eight years, the other, a boy, aged three years and six months—were arrested by a police-con stable in Westmoreland-street for soliciting alms. They word taken to Cullege-street police-station, and charged in due course, and were then brought before the magistrate, Mr. U. O'Donel, at the head police-office. The charge was proved, and the magistrate made his decision, That deci sion was, that the girl should undergo imprisonment in Grangegorman Penitentiary for 14 days, and be kept to hard labour! and that the boy, 31 years old, should be sent to Richmond Bridewoll—be there detained for fourteen days, and kept to hard labour ! The next questions were —what clothes he should be dressed in, and to what hard work put ? Never contemplating that such a youthful prisoner would be sent to gaol, the board of superintend ence had made no provision in their wardrobe for him, nor the inspectors-general defined what hard work was suitable for his age. The result was that the humane governor was obliged to procure slight articles of clothing for the poor creature, and send him to the hospital ward to be taken care of. Meanwhile the inspectors-general have been communicated with, and by their instructions the local inspector has this day forwarded to the Govern ment a report on the case, accompanied by a copy of the magistrate's committal.—Dublin Evening Mail. Ara h 161 83 I 5511 LAMBOURNE. Regalia went two miles by herself this morning, and Chepstow galloped a mile and a half steadily, a.% alone. Both are looking and going splendidly, particularly the favourite for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, who has beaten the mare in a rough up, which will account for the heaps of money Mr. Graham is entrusting the colt with for both his Newmarket engagements. He is own brother to Chattanooga, possesses a magnificent turn of• speed, has grand action, and is sure to stay home in the longer race. Caithness is walking at present. Pluto, another Cesare witch horse, galloped a mile and three-quarters, but he is very moderate. Mr. Merry's horses are all healthy, but doing very little this week. RICHMOND. Rose and Plaudit galloped a mile steadily this morning, led by Louisa, and followed by Chatsworth. Zenobia merely trotted and cantered, but Moldavia went a and a half gallop along with Hawkswell. El Cid took Gracio Ea a mile, but Quick March merely had a couple of canters, as did Imperator, Podargus walking. There is nothing the matter with Zenobia, excepting an attack of " metallic fever." Empress of India, Feemy, the Admiral, Violet, and two or three others are gone to Scutland. Bob Chambers is galloping a mile and a half now ; and Lim ber, Magna, Lady Durham, and Minette two miles. Alice Faucouberg, Lurcher, and Raunds are stopped for a while, and both Dolau and Molly Carew are turned up for the season. MARLBOROUGH. Pepper's Ghost is now in longer work, and this morn ing had a nice gallop of over two miles , . Pintail, Brada manto, the Splitvote colt, and Dulcimer (the three latter in the Casarewitch), had a nice " pipeopener" of nearly the same distance, led by Nimble, the Flutter colt pioneering Bugler, Overtonian, Overture, Pussy, and some others. Adam Bede was walking for a time. Our Cesarewitch favourite is doing uncommonly well, and our only fear is that there:is not enough of her to "get home," if tho New market heath be heavy. However, she will have the best of condition on her side, and that is more than half the battle. Savernake returns home on Saturday. Countess Amy is now galloping two miles by herself, very quietly though. MALTON. Klarinska started for Newmarket, but was suddenly re called, and was eased for a day or two this week, but is now in good work for the Cesarewitch, galloping quite a couple of miles this morning. War (who was sweated on Monday) did a similar gallop with Westwick, and goes uncommonly free. Brown Bread, also in the Cesarewitch, has been stopped again, but to-day went a mile and a quar ter steadily. This looks as if the Cambridgeshire was more likely to be his Newmarket journey. Treasure Trove and The Lion walked. SPOR rING INTELLIGENCE. iNEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. WEDNESDAY. The sport on Newmarket heath to-day was characterised by every feature of an " off" occasion, the fields through out the running being generally of a moderate description and the running of very little interest. During Tuesday night the weather underwent another great change, and rain fell early this morning, but although the clouds had a threatening appearance, the rain kept off. in point of attendance, also, there was a slight diminution. The de monstration, which took place on Tuesday night in favour of Chepstow, was renewed this morning as soon as there was a meeting at the rooms, and as little as 7 to 1 was ac cepted about him. This had the effect of slightly depres sing the next favourites, Mathilde and Bradamante. The latest quotations, however, on the important handicaps will be found below. The only incidents of the day calling for any remark was the success of Savernake over Ley bourne and Strathconan in the Eighteenth Triennial, and his subsequent defeat by Knight of the Crescent, who took a seven pounds maiden allowance. This advantage enabled the latter to win very easily by three-quarters of a length Savernake not only suffered defeat from " The Knight,' but was beaten for second place by Lothario, and conse quent upon this performance the baron's horse came into demand for the Cesarowitch, for which event, if this running be correct, ho must have an immense chance; but Savernake is probably " Bottled" for the season, and his form cannot be depended upon.
