MONEY - MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLoca. There is less activity, and comparatively little apprehension now prevails as to future results in the money market. Floating capital also is more abun dant, and bills are more scarce, which tend to allay much of the fear previously existing as to a further advance in the official minimum. The rates for accommodation are also less onerous, and brokers are evincing a desire to secure short dated paper at 7 and 7f per cent. The settlement in Consols yesterday occasioned a very l arge d eman d f or money i n t h e S toc k Ex charge, and loans from day to day were charged 6 and 61 per cent. To-day, however, the terms are easier. About £56,000 in gold was forwarded to the Bank of England yesterday, but 10,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for payment of cotton in Alexandria. The transfer books of the Anglo-Egyptian Navi gation Company will be closed until the 16th inst., preparatory to payment of an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending 30th September last. The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada have announced the payment of the half-year's in terest due on the Equipment Mortgage Bonds on and after Monday next.

Consols closed yesterday afternoon at a rise of and another advance of per cent. has to be recorded to-day, the latest quotations being 884 for transfer, and 89i for the Bth proximo.

This was a second bankruptcy, the bankrupt being de scribed as a clerk in holy orders, of Leigh, formerly of Hammersmith and Foltham. No accounts have been filed, and the case was adjourned until the proceedings under the first bankruptcy shall have been disposed of. were brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and disorderly last night in the York-road, Ratcliff. They were also charged with being concerned with others in assaulting and robbing Captain John Harkness, master of a merchant ship, and now dwelling at 25, Bromley-street, Stepney. He appeared to be injured, and there was a serious bruise over his left eye. He said that he was pass ing along the York-road, close to the North London Rail way, last night at eleven o'clock, when two men and the female " baulked" him. They all "run aboard of him at once," and one man jumped on his back. Another hit him on the head with a piece of wood or some other instrument. His eye was terribly swollen last night, and it had gone down since. His pocket-book was taken. It contained £1 10s. in gold, and ss. in silver. His gold chain, an old one for which he gave £ll 10s., and which he now valued at £9, was detached from his watch and stolen. He was much ill-used. He made as much noise as ho could, and informed a policeman of the robbery. He drank considerably last night, but he was sure the prisoner Francis was one of the thieves. In answer to questions by the woman, the prosecutor said he was in a beershop, and saw her before the robbery. Ile was followed out of the beershop and robbed. Other evidence was given implicating the woman in the outrage and robbery. She was roman,/ed until Monday. Regan was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment for being drunk and disorderly. Great-Western Railway of Canada. MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held at London Tavern to-day—Alderman and Sheriff Dakin, the president, in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, already published, which was agreed to. lie then said that he was glad to be able to con gratulate the shareholders on the gleam of sunshine that had broken through the circumstances which once indi cated storm and disaster. He thought the directors were entitled to much praise for their exertions, by which the undertaking was enabled to surmount the disasters to which he alluded. He ccnsidered the report showed, as far as possible, the progress of the affairs of the company. Their receipts on capital account during the half-year amounted to £674 Os. 10d., and the total receipts up to July 31st were £5,146,349, and deducting the disbursements there was a balance to the credit of the company on capital account of £26,982 18s. 2d. There had been an increase in the expenditure as compared with the corresponding period of last year, but the expenses which they incurred were rendered unavoidable by their position. They had to provide accommodation by an extension of their station, both for passengers and goods traffic, at the important city of Toronto, from which their station was two miles distant, and they were also compelled to incur an outlay for a new station, and also for works which were indispensable. The expenses of the half-year warranted the directors in not recommending a dividend of more than 2 per cent. ; but on the improving aspect of their affairs there was every reason to believe that before long that dividend would be considerably increased. (Hear.) A valuable arrangement had been effected, by which the loss sustained in the conversion of their American funds would, for the future, be avoided. The decrease which had taken place in their traffic arose from exceptional causes, namely, the severity of the weather during the winter season, the stoppages on American connecting lines, and the impediments in the way of traffic by the adoption of the passport system. How ever, the improving prospects of business generally afforded ground for hoping that there would be a corre sponding improvement in their receipts, to which hope the abundant harvest in Canada in no small degree contributed. A satisfactory arrangement had been made with the pro vincial Government relative to the postal service, which would continue in operation for four years. The appeal of the Commercial Bank of Canada, which was argued before the Judicial Committee, had been dismissed with costs, but there were certain points, sub judice, which were still to be considered. Very encouraging informa tion had been received with respect to the oil districts of Bothwell and Enniskillen, which were situated on the company's line, and American and other capitalists were making large purchases of land and sinking new wells, in consequence of the improvement in regard to so impel - - taut an article of commerce as oil. (Hear, hear.) The chairman concluded by referring to the satisfactory footing of the relations of the company with the American con necting railways. After some discussion a resolution was agreed to, sanc tioning a proposed arrangement between the company and the Atlantic, Great Western (Buffalo) Extension, and the Erie and Niagara Railway Companies. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and board of directors.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—NearIy the whole of last sitting was taken up with papers on cholera, and we are happy to state that the communica tions are in general are of a nature to deprive the epidemic of all its real terrors. It is now proved beyond a doubt, from facts collected throughout Europe —l. That Asiatic cholera is in all well-authenticated cases pre ceded by premonitory symptoms. 2. That these symptoms may be removed with the greatest ease, and with the certainty that, once romeved, the dangerous period need not bo feared. 3. That a wholesome strengthening diet, and the commonest attention to the state of the general health of the individual, will prevent the occurrence of any alarming symptoms ; and 4. That ignorance and imprudence, habitual neglect of cleanliness, and unhealthy dwellings, are the only causes of fatal cases, that, in short, cholera is a disease much less to be dreaded than typhus fever and other epidemics by which wo aro often unconsciously surrounded. From this general summary of the papers presented to the Academy we will now pro ceed: to a few particulars.

Of of Dr. Blondel, Inspector -General of Public Assistance, show that out of 4,740 cases registered in that year, 4,359 were preceded by premonitory symptoms; that in the other 381 cases the question of premonitory symp toms was not properly sifted, so that nothing certain could be known about them ; and that the efficacy of a preventive cure is the only point on which all the physicians of the Paris hospitals are agreed. All the numerous observations collected in England, France, and Italy, tend to confirm this view. Dr. Jules Guerin, in a second paper on the same subject, expresses himself as follows :—" I have long persisted in pointing out the prac em existencet a h y a b t 'o in mastered. a on f t sn i ti c at a og l r ye a , dbsvti bids stage, etdaegdfieu during r ue : 3g s u g to 1% 1 , t ha i n il clii remedies, a i o rn diseaset h aadPv rae S nuc t l o : Stop diarrhoea, I have said, and you stop cholera. That is suf ficiently precise, but not sufficiently known. I regret to say that physicians are still seeking the specific which is to revive a dead body, instead of making known the period during which the disorder may be cured. But what science cannot do with the limited means of publicity at its dis posal, the Administration can." Hero the writer enters upon the excellent English system of house-to-house visi tation, whereby, out of 130,000 persons treated in the 15 principal cities of England, only 6,000 narrowly escaped real cholera, and only 250 actually got it ; and then con cludes with announcing authoritatively that the Adminis tration has organised a complete system of effectual pre ventive measures should the epidemic invade the capital of France for the fourth time. Dr. Mourin, Secretary general of the Statistical Society of Marseilles, in a paper on this year's invasion of cholera in that city, calls it a pseudo-epidemic,the disease coming on slowly, and rather incling to malignant or typhus fever. The prophylactic or preventive treatment succeeded perfectly there. Poverty, fatigue, and weakne ss were the predisposing elements in all the cases observed. Opiates were found very useful, but diluted with a little water, because much drink causes irritation. To all this overwhelming mass of evidence in favour of the existence of premonitory symptoms, another contributor, a Dr. Pollan'', opposes a flat denial of the fact, supporting his assertion by a sort of scientific quibble. Ile says that diarrhoea cannot bo con sidered premonitory, because no one can foresee whether it will degenerate into cholera or not. We need not point out the utter puerility of this argument. Capt. F. Scott, A.D.C. to the Queen, Flag- Capt. to the Port Admiral and Naval Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, Sir M. Seymour, G-.C.8., resumed the command of her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Saturday on return from leave of abs,cnce. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY. THE CESAREWITCII. Rarely has there been such an uninteresting event as the first of the great autumn handicaps appeared on paper to be. The Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire of old times—i.e., 30 years ago—boasted such horses as Faugh-a-Ballagh, The Baron, Lanercost, Alarm, and many others of almost equal fame among the roll of competitors. Lately there has been a sad falling off in quality, and this year the acceptances for the first-named race, commencing with Dr. Syntax and terminating with Morris Dancer and Le Papillon, showed nothing but what was second-rate in form. Wo presume that it is.much more difficult to handicap mediocre horses than good ones, and to this cause must be assigned the bad acceptance in a numerical point of view. Salpinctes and Alabama have kept their position as first and second favourites, the former with great firmness. Rumours of a trial with Privateer yesterday somewhat affected Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, and the former, who from the combined causes of his owner's health and tile, hard ground had retrograded in the betting, came again with some force during the afternoon. Mr. Savile we were happy to see on the heath, and the welcome rain had removed the other obstacles to his starting. The Danebury stable has had so many irons in the fire that the public have been rather diffident in its selection. Lansdown, at the first ap pearance of the handicap, was mentioned as a good thing, but he speedily went back into obscurity. Yesterday John Davis was the horse ; this morning it was Gomera, or rather last night that a furore sot in about Colonel Baillie's mare, which ended in her being nearly as good a favourite as Salpinctes. Zephyr has been strongly supported, and at the eleventh hour the Oaks winner has thrown a little "quality" into the affair by being announced as a starter. • The rain has done much towards increasing the field, which but for it might have been smaller. As it was, 27 runners were telegraphed, and after a comparatively short delay despatched to one of the most level starts ever seen. But little opportunity is afforded at Newmarket for that "stock-taking" so interesting to all sportsmen. Saddled, some at the Stand, others at the Ditch, it would require the fleetest of hacks and the sharpest of eyes to see them all. They, doubtless, looked in splendid condition, as horses prepared for a great event would naturally be, and as they came through the gap and ascended the rise the old comparison of a charge of cavalry might well have been applied. On they came, but in the Abingdon Mile bottom the bolt of many was shot, and the yellow jacket and scarlet belt of Salpinctes was seen in the Tan, going well. Gratitude, the second last year, was pressing him hard, but little Scorey rode with a clear head, and, although much exhausted, landed his horse in by a head. John Davis proved himself a very good animal by getting third place under the weight he carried. Hardly so many people were present as we have remem bered, but still the scene partook of the usual Cesarowitch features. Prince Amadeus, attended by the Marquis d'Azeglio and hie suite, was on the Jockey Club Stand, which was crowded with the usual aristocratic habitues of New market. The weather was delightful.

Czarina finished a similar distance in advance of No Name ; Bella was fourth, and Bishopton next. The others were beaten off.

On entering the dip Fordham increased the lead, and in a few strides further had all his horses beaten, and won in a canter by half-a-dozen lengths ; Chronometer finished a bad third, Potomac was fourth, and Willie Sharpe fifth ; Sans si, Dalesman, and Stoneham were beaten off.

Precisely at the time set down the 27 riders were ex hibited on the telegraph, and shortly after they reached the starter, who at the first attempt effected an excellent start. After they had taken their places the running was taken up by Endsleigh, who, with Ostregor, Privateer, Buckfoot, Gomera, and Merry Wife, in a body, came on slightly in advance of Elland, Brown Dread, Morris Dancer, Gratitude, Alabama, and Salpinctes, and to these succeeded, wide on the left, Farce, Zephyr, Solon, The Clown, and Vertugadin, and in the extreme rear came John Davis, Pearl Diver, Regalia, Fantail, and Nuneaton. They re tained these positions as they came through the Ditch Gap, but on crossing the flat they became distributed, and ran wide to the Rowley Mile post. Here Ostregor headed Endsleigh, and came on with a clear lead, which he retained to within a couple of hundred yards of the Bushes-hill, where the pair were beaten, and were imme diately headed by Salpinctes, who took his place in the centre of the course, closely attended by Brown Bread, Elland, Gratitude, Merry Wife, and Farce, the latter being wide on their left, and two or throe lengths in their rear came the heavy weights, John Davis and Regalia, close in whose track were Solon, Gomera, Buckfoot, Alabama, and Privateer. Half way down the hill Elland was beaten, followed in a few strides further by Alabama and Farce, and when fairly in the Abingdon Milo bottom Gratitude and John Davis joined the two leaders; but as they com menced the ascent for home Brown Bread broke down, and was immediately headed by Gratitude, who half way in the cords got to the favourite's girth; but was never able to quite get up, and was beaten, after a splendid race, by a head ; John Davis finished third, a couple of lengths in their rear ; Brown Bread was fourth, close up with whom was Merry Wife fifth, Farce sixth, and Regalia seventh ; then came Elland, Buckfoot, Alabama, and Privateer, who headed the next lot, in the rear of which were Morris Dancer, Vertugadin, and Count Cavour.

Tho court was crowded to excess, and the Marquis Townsend was accommodated with a seat on the bench beside the magistrate.- Mr. Chipperfield, instructed by the Society for the Pro tection of Women and Children, appeared again to pro secute, and Mr. Lewis as before defended the prisoner. Mr. Chipperfield said he proposed to call one witness more in order to complete the case on the part of the pro secution. The witness he proposed to call was one of two who were in attendance on the last day, but who were not examined in consequence of the late hour to which the pro ceedings were protracted. She was a domestic servant living near to the deceased, and had been frequently sent in by her mistress, Mrs.-Indermaur, with refreshments. He would adhere to the rule his Worship had laid down, and limit the evidence to within a fortnight or throe weeks before death. Mary Murphy said she was servant to Mrs. Indennaur, of 9, Offord-road, Barnsbury. She knew the deceased, and was often in her house with food, and that continued up to Mrs. Price's death. Sho was in the house sometimes throe times a week. When she took in tho food the prisoner used to answer the door, and sho asked if sho could seo Mrs. Price. He used to say his wife was lying down, and she could not see her then. He used to take the food, but Mrs. Price told her about four times in his presence that ho had not given her the food she had taken. Within about three weeks of the death of the deceased, she was in Mrs. Price's room. She had asked if she could go in to get the room ready for the doctor. A short time afterwards the prisoner went into the room stupidly drunk, and threw himself across the deceased, and she asked her to take him off. She (witness) said, "You are not inclined to smother the lady on her dying bed," and he said, "Yes, I am." She re membered seeing the prisoner doing something to the de ceased in the mouth. Cross-examined----On the occasion she spoke of he was stupidly drunk. During the three years and nine months that she had lived opposite to the deceased she had never seen him sober three months together ; in fact, she had never seen him sober three days together. Mr. Chipperfield said that was the case for the prosecu tion, and on the evidence adduced he had to ask the magis ti ate to send the case for trial. Mr. Lewis, for the defence, said it had been laid down over and over again by the authorities that the intent must depend on the state of mind of the accused at the time the act imputed was committed, and he submitted that if the prisoner was stupidly drunk, as the witness had sworn, he could not have had the intent which was now charged against him. But, apart from this isolated case of alleged ill-treatment, there were three points which the learned magistrate would have to consider, whether the deceased died from natural causes ; secondly, whether death was accelerated by ill treatment ; and lastly, whether the pri soner, by his acts, had caused that acceleration of the death of his wife. The learned gentleman then contended that it was shown by the witnesses for the prosecution that they supplied the deceased with food, &c., out of their own re sources, and that therefore she could not have died from starvation. The supposition of ill-treatment by the prisoner was, he argued, negatived by the fact that ho called upon Mr. Gowland in March last and entreated him to visit the deceased as a medical man at her own home. The prisoner also requested his neighbour, Mrs. Sellers, to visiit the suf ferer, and that invitation had been accepted. Was that the conduct of a man who sought to accomplish the death of his wife by a course of ill-treatment and cruelty ? Much had been introduced into the case to create a feeling of prejudice, but it could not be forgotten that the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of " death from natural causes." Mr. Barker observed that with the finding of the coro. ner's jury ho had nothing whatever to do. He had simply to act upon the sworn evidence which had been adduced before him. In conclusion, Mr. Lewis maintained that the medical evidence would not justify the committal of the prisoner. Mr. Joseph Turner, whom Mr. Lewis then called, said —I reside at King-street, Soho, and am a hatter. The prisoner's wife was my sister. I have a brother named Charles William. The last two or three months I have seen my sister two or three times a week, and within eight days I saw her four or five times. 1 will not say I saw her every week, but I saw her oftener than any one else. On those occasions she was confined to her bed. I have sent her food. The prisoner has been present on nearly every occasion when I have visited my sister. Whenever he has been present my sister has never complained to me of insufficiency of food. During the•time I have been present I have never seen him unkind. He was generally kissing her, and saying "My dear wife." The only thing I ever saw unpleasant was when the prisoner attempted to kiss his wife when he was in liquor. 1 took him away, because my sister told me to do so. When I have been present my sister has had food. On one occasion I saw him take a plate of food to her, and heard her tell him to take it to the children; but I do not know who sent it. The deceased died on a Tuesday, and I was with her on the Monday, the day before she died, and the Tuesday , pre ceding her death, as well as the Sunday preceding the Tues day. I did not see her with food on either of those three days I have mentioned. The week previous to her death I took her some brandy, and my wife gave her some of it. I placed the bottle at the top of the bed, and the nurse took it off the drawers and said, " Don't let him see it." She placed it at the foot of the bed, and there were three other bottles there, under the clothes, all containing a red liquid. On that occasion I was there, I think, between two and throe hours. Whilst I was there no wine came in from other parties. Cross-examined by Mr. Chipperfield—l have been friends with the prisoner since he came from America. Whilst he has been in the Offord-road I have occasionally been out with the prisoner, and I may have had a glass with him. Within the past two or three months he has been frequently the worse for liquor, and has been more excited. He has been worse since my brother locked him up in Whitecross street for money for the food and clothes he supplied to my sister. I was at the prisoner's house on the night before my sister died. The prisoner was rationally drunk, if you could call it so. I should not say that he was positively drunk, but he was the worse for liquor. His wife did not complain before me of his making a noise. Mr. Lynch asked me to go out with' him to the tavern at the corner, and whilst there the prisoner came in. A quarrel took place between Mr. Lynch and the prisoner about the pri soner wanting to drink out of Mr. Lynch's pot. He was drunk; and leaning over her bed, and I took him away. Mrs. Elizabeth Isabella Turner said—l am the wife of the last witness. I was in the habit'of going to the house of the prisoner to visit his wife. I was there on the 15th of August previous to her death. She said she should like a little brandy, and it was given to her. Whilst I was there I saw the nurse sent for port wine, which Mrs. Charles Turner paid for. The wine was not given to her. I never saw any ill-treatment of the prisoner to his wife. Ho was given to drink t but he always did what his wife wanted. The prisoner was at home on that occasion, but the wife did not say sho wanted food. Cross-examined by Mr. Chipperfield—l was there on the 15th of August, and had previously seen her at the end of May. Mr. Lewis said that was his case. Mr. Barker said he had heard nothing to induce him to alter his intention of sending the case for trial. He then fully committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial on the charge of manslaughter. Mr. Lewis—Will you take bail ? Mr. Barker peremptorily refused to admit the prisoner to bail. The prisoner, who seemed rather chapfallen at the deci sion, was then removed. RAILWAY PROGRESS IN INDIA.—A marvellous illustration of the progress now taking place in India is supplied by the railway statistics . The annu al official holiday, known as the Doorga Pooja, begins on the 25th of September, and lasts about a fortnight. On the 15th of August tho great Jumna-bridge, near Allahabad, w as opened to the through traffic, reducing the delay bet ween Calcutta and Delhi by two hours. The East India Rail way Company offered holidaymakers return tickets avail able for three weeks between the two capitals—English and Mussulman—for £7 second, and £l2 first-class, and each may take two servants at £2 2s. a head, besides lug gage. The distance both ways is 2,040 miles 1 More over, the superstitious Hindoo is tempted to visit his holy kasi, Benares, by the offer of a third-class ticket for £1 45., a distance both ways of 1,081 miles.

CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT.—A respectable-looking man, named 'William Bushell, was placed at the bar this morning before the Lord Mayor, having a warrant charged with having embezzle . d a considerable amount received by him on account of his employer, Mr. Charles Luton, a straw-hat and bonnet manufacturer at Luton. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared to prosecute. On opening the case he said the prosecutor was a straw-bonnet manufac turer, having an extensive business at Luton Marshes ; however, to extend his business ho took an office in Milk-street, Cheapside, and gave the prisoner the entire management of the business at that office. Not wishing it to be known that he was doing anything in the retail trade, Mr. Jones told the prisoner he did not wish the business to IA carried on in his name, and the prisoner suggested that his name should be put up. Thereupon an agreement was drawn, which, Mr. Lewis said, could leave no doubt that the prisoner was only a servant in Mr. Jones's employment. The agreement specially stated that Mr. Bushell was to hold the position of manager at Mr. Jones's London office, and that the business was to be carried on in his name, and he was to receive half the net profits, and was not to bear any of the losses in the business. From what Mr. Jones heard he came to London in May last and discharged the prisoner. Since that time he had been investigating the prisoner's account, and the result was that ho had found the prisoner had received several sums of money for which he had not accounted. Besides the charge of embezzlement, there was also a charge of forgery, into which Mr. Lewis said he should not then proceed ; but it appeared that Mr. Jones was in May last sued upon a bill which was mixed up with those which passed through the Birmingham Banking Company, and in which Taylor and Kelley were con cerned. The payment of several sums, amounting to about £BO, was proved, which Mr. Jones said had not been accounted for, and the prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. Mary Ann Cartwright, alias Atkins, was placed at the bar before Mr. Vaughan, on remand, charged with stealing a pair of gold earrings, the property of Mrs. Syphoid, the wife of a compositor. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, who wished to withdraw the charge, it appeared she met the prisoner in company with a friend of hers a few days ago, and after a short conversation it was proposed to go and have some thing to drink. They went to the Wellington Tavern, and there she (prosecutrix) spent a shilling, but afterwards she went to a pawnbroker and pledged one of her rings to stand treat with. They then went to the Old Drury public house, and had some more drink, and then they all returned to the Wellington. While they were drinking at the bar the prisoner admired her (prisoner's) gold earrings, and took one of them out of her ears to look at it. It seemed to please her very much, and in a short time after she came round to the other side and removed the other. While she was attempting to replace a pair of jet earrings for the gold ones she had taken out, she did it in a very bungling manner, and at length she (prosecutrix) was induced to put up her hand to her ear, and then she found the pri soner was trying to substitute her comparatively valueless articles for her expensive ones. She demanded her earrings back, but prisoner said she had not got them. A constable was called, and the prisoner was given into custody ; and while she was being conveyed to the station, she was seen to put something in her mouth and swallow it. Constable M'Gloin said he took the prisoner into cus tody. While she was being taken to the station he saw her swallow something, and when they were in the charge room, prisoner again placed something in her mouth, and, with a great effort, swallowed it. On looking at her mouth it was found to bo bleeding. Jane Butler said she saw the prisoner doing something to the prosecutor's ears. She could not say whether she took out her gold earrings. _ _ The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said they wore all out drinking, and the prosecutrix took out her earrings . after they had been together for some time, and said she .would pledge them to get money to finish the day with. She (prisoner) objected to such a thing, and the articles were afterwards wrapped up it , her handkerchief and after that she never saw the things any more. She asked some questions of the prosecutrix, who, in replying, said she was so overcome with liquor that she could not deny anything that was attributed to her. She might have done as pri soner said she did, but she had no recollection. She said drink made her quite unconscious. Mr. Vaughan committed the prisoner for trial, and the witnesses wore all bound over to give .evidence at the sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING AN HOTELKEEPER.—AIexander Serre, a waiter in the employ of Mr. Giovanni Ciales, hotelkeeper, (the Cape de L'Etoilo), Great Windmill-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the sum of £8 65., the moneys of his master. Mr. Charles Albert interpreted. Mr. Ciales said—The prisoner is a waiter in my house, and I have suspected him of robbing me. In consequence of what my wife told me at one o'clock this morning, I asked the prisoner to lot me see his box, first asking him if he had any money in it, and receiving an answer in the negative. I then looked in his book and found £8 in gold, some shillings and coppers. I asked the prisoner where he got the money from, and he said he had earned it. I then accused him of stealing it from me, and he said it was not true. I then sent for a constable, and he searched the prisoner's boxes, but found no more money. Afterwards one of my waiters found a portmonnaie containing about £8 under the flooring of one of the rooms. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long has the prisoner been in your employ, and what wages did he receive ? He has been with me two months and received 10s. a week wages. Ile afterwards said he had taken the money and begged to bo forgiven. Tho first £3 was found in the prisoner's box, the second £8 under the flooring of the waiter's dressing-room. Mrs. Ciales—Last night I took up a bowl containing £l6 odd and put it in a chest of drawers outside my bed room. This evening my husband asked me for some money, and on going to the bowl I missed about half the money from the bowl. I had seen tho prisoner leave where the bowl was after I placed it there. I put the bowl there because I did not think any one would rob me. I have placed the bowl there before and missed money from it, and I suspected the prisoner. Ernest Adler, a waiter in Mr. Ciales' employ, proved finding the portmonnaie containing money under the flooring of the waiters' dressing-room. Sergeant Leech, 14 C—l was called to Mr. Ciales', and on the purse taken from tho prisoner's box being shown to the prisoner, ho said it was his, and that he had received the money partly from his late employer and partly from Mr. Ciales. I searched the prisoner's boxes, and found in them a quantity of new clothing. Subsequently the waiter Adler found under the flooring a portmonnaie, containing £B. The prisoner said the purse belonged to him, but that the money was his motor's. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has the prosecutor missed money before ? Mr. Ciales—l have. The prisoner, who put no questions to the witnesses, said, after being cautioned—l have admitted taking the money ; what more can I say ? He was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT BY A SOLDIBR.—Wm. Walker, a private in the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. White, landlord of the Three Tuns, Broadway, Westminster. Mr. White said that last night, about a quarter past ten, the prisoner and two other soldiers came into the house ; they had nothing to drink. Two very respectable men same in and called for something to drink. The prisoner took the glass up off the counter, with their liquor in it, and was going to drink. Witness and the two men inter fered, and took the glass away from him ; upon which he drew a belt that he had secreted somewhere, and struck witness a violent blow over the counter across the head with it, inflicting a wound upwards of an inch long, and causing it to bleed profusely. Ile then left the house, but witness followed, never lost sight of him, and gave him into custody. Prisoner declared that he never struck him. Police-constable, 302 B, proved taking the prisoner, who said he took his belt off, but did not strike prosecutor. The prisoner was remanded for a short time, prosecutor having a witness who was not now able to attend, but would at a future time. THAMES. WET WITHIN AND WET WITHOUT.-401111 Taylor, aged 80, who was so infirm that he could scarcely reach the dock, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. He was described as a carpenter, of Hastings, in the county of Sussex. Mr• Paget asked the prisoner, who was well dressed, and , a pparently in comfortable ci rcums t ances, how he came to be placed in such a disgraceful position ? The prisoner, who was shivering, put on a quaint ex pression, and in a voice of childish treble said, " I was in the rain last night and was very wet. I met with some friends also from Hastings, and they said as you are wet without you may as well be wet within, and I drank with them." Mr. Paget—You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

HOW TO ESTIMATE TIIE WEIGHT OF FISH.-- " All that is wanted is that the angler should bear in his memory a good specimen of the kind of fish in question as his primary solid. Thus, if a trout of ten inches (extreme length) in au average water weigh -1.1 b., ono of twenty inches from the same will weigh 41bs. (eight times as much) and something more—one of 30 inches, 1311b5., or 27 times as much. But in a very fattening water like the Thames, a high-conditioned trout of 12 inches might weigh 11b., in which case one of 18 inches, being to the first as the cube of 3 to the cube of 2, would weigh 3lbs. Goz. at least, and one of 24 inches Blbs."—Fisherman's Magazine.
