&ONEY MAR.KET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL TWLLVE O'CLOCK. FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. The bank of England Directors have just ad vanced the value of their official minimum to 5 per cent. The increased demand experienced within the last few days for discount accommodation, and the expectancy of its continuance, especially till after the 4th of the month, have induced the au thorities to further enhance the value of money. Gold and silver are in demand for transmission to India for payment of cotton, and the increased employment in the manufacturing districts has lately and is now occasioning a larger absorption of capital. The rate in the open market is very firm, and first-class bills cannot be negotiated under 51 per cent. - The report of the directors of tho Great Western Railway of Canada states that the balance to the credit of the capital account is £26,989 18s. 4d., from which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £33,604, and leave a balance of £3,205 to be carried to the credit of the current half-year. The loss on the conversion of American funds during the half-year • amounted to the sum of £54,937. The purchases of gold have been effected at an average rate of 153 i. An additional loss of £4,670 14s. 6d. has been incurred by the con version of the sum of $77,504 American Funds since the 31st July, and a further amount of $164,654, also in American Funds, was at that date due to the company on traffic account. The rela tions of the directors with the American connecting railways continue satisfactory. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 52c. The English Stock Market has been very inac tive and depressed through the increased value of money. Consols have receded to 88j. 89 for money, and to 89 for the account. The Foreign Stock Market shows that prices are generally at fractionally lower values. Turkish Consolides are 491 ; Mexican , 261 j. ; the New Loan, 251 j ; Greek, 201 I ; Spanish Passive, 291 ; the Certificates, 141 s ; Italian, 64 1; the Con federate Loan, 68 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 31 prem. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a limited scale, and prices have shown a further depression. Great Northern A Stock has declined 4 ; Great Eastern, Lancashire and York shire, and Midland each ; and North Western, Metropolitan, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern, each is. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained inactive, without any material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Lon don and County are marked 77 4 ; Affiance Bank, 3144 ; Union of London, 53 4 ; Hudson Bay Co., 16i ; and 0 verond, Gurney, and Co., 16} 4. Transatlantic Steam Ship Company Shares are quoted par 1 prem.. ; London and Australian Agency, 1 prem. ; Allan's Telegraph Company, 1 11 prem. ; and Gale's Gunpowder Company, 1 13 prem. The various discount houses have made a propor tionate alteration in the allowance of interest on deposits, viz., to 4 per:cent. for money at call, to 41 per cent. for 7 days' notice, and 4i per cent. for 14 days' notice of withdrawal.

THE SUN, 1,01s:DON, MONOAY EVEN G, OCTOBER 2,186 E MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and prices were rather on the advance. Most descriptions of spring corn were in but moderate re quest, at late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and a fair busi ness is passing in spring corn, at full prices. At New York the export demand for produce continues limited. Limited supplies of home-grown wheat and other pro duce were received up to our market last week. The im ports from abroad amounted to 19,867 quarters of wheat: 9,164, barley; 48,001, oats; 15, beans; 2,339, peas; 5,148, linseed ; 3,348, oilseeds ;- 3,850, maize ; 3,014, sundry seeds; 85 sacks and 4,770 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were small, both from Essex and Kent, and the bulk of the samples was received in bad condition. For good and fine dry samples, therefore, the trade was firm at full prices. Damp produce was very difficult of sale, and sold at irregular quotations. A fair supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. The demand was by no means active, but the trade presented a firm appearance, and last Monday's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices ruled firm. Barley was in short supply. Good and fine malting parcels were scarce and realised full prices. Inferior barley met a dull sale at barely late rates. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent on former terms. There was a good supply of oats on offer. The trade was steady for good and fine samples, at full pricos ; but in ferior qualities were rather cheaper. Very few beans were on offer. The trade was quiet, at late rates. There was a fair supply of peas on offer, the trade for which ruled somewhat inactive, at previous quotations. There was a moderate demand for flour. Prices were without material change from Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

The row was entirely owing to the existence of an illegal gin and rum shop in Glasshouse-Street. It was kept by a woman named Barry. The house was opened for the sale of rum, gin, and beer after the publichouses were closed. Mrs. Barry received two half-crowns for pennies, and would not give change, and a jar of beer was completely smashed, and it was only water. Carr seized him during the row, when everybody was hitting and kicking everybody, and accused him of striking and kicking him. The two con stables bent hiS arms up to his head, and in that position dragged him to the station-house. James Hayes, an Irishman, the father of the prisoner, said his son came home "full of blood," and went out to look at Carr's number, and was immediately seized bp him. The witness, who is a very respectable and sensible fellow, said, " There will never be any peace in the neighbourhood until Mrs. Barry's "ginhouse is suppressed," All the dis orderly actions and rows were caused by this place, to which people were admitted by signs or introduced by old customers. It was No. 8, Glasshouse-street. He had been 17 years in England, and no policeman ever put his hand on his shoulder. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that Hayes, the witness, was an honest, industrious man, and his character stood high with his employers, the Corporation of the Trinity House. Hayes was a ballast getter, and his son was in the same employ, and was a hard-working boy. He knew him since he went to school. Mr. Paget said he intended to let the good character of the prisoner and his father have its effect. Roche . was an old and valuable officer, and could be depended upon. He intended to send the prisoner to the House of Correction for one month, and to be kept to hard labour, but after the character given of him ho should fine him 40s only. He was satisfied the police had acted pro perly and with discretion in the matter, and that Carr had been ill used. With respect to the illegal gin shop where beer and spirits were illicitly sold, he had no doubt the inspector of the police of the district and the revenue officers would look after it, and take measures for its speedy suppression. Inspector Bendy, II division, said he would look after Mrs. Barry's house directly. Memorial to the Secretary of State on behalf of Madame Valentin. (From the Sunday 7 inzes) Yesterday Mr. Montague Leverson, of No. 66, Bishopsgate-street, the solicitor in the case of Louise Pierrette Valentin, convicted of perjury at the re cent sittings of the Central Criminal Court, waited upon Sir George Grey, and presented the following memorial on her behalf, viz. : "To THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, ONE of HER MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARIES OF STATE, " The Humble Petition of Louise Pierrette Valentin, sheweth, "1. That upon the 25th of November, 1864, Jean Lafour cade made an affidavit iu the Court of Exchequer of Pleas in which he swore that I was about to leave England and go to America with all possible despatch. "2. That upon such affidavit Mr. Baron Martin granted a capias ; but, although the plaintiff's attorney knew well where to find me, I was not arrested until the sth of De cember, 1864. "3. On the 15th of December I was further detained in a further action, at the suit of the same plaintiff, on an order obtained from Mr. Baron Pigott on another affida vit of the said Jean Lafourcade. "4. The action was tried, and a• verdict given in my favour, on the 9th day of June last, after a trial which lasted five days. . "5. After the trial 1 prosecuted the said Jean Lafourcade for perjury committed in the affidavit on which 1 had been arrested, as having sworn that I had told him I intended to . leave this country and proceed to America with the utmost possible despatch. . "6. The trial of the said Jean Lafourcade commenced on the 15th day of August last, and lasted two days, and was tried before Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C., the Recorder of the City of London ; and on tho 16th day of August last said Jean Lafourcade was convicted, the jury who tried the said prisoner accompanying their verdict with a censure upon the plaintiff's attorney, who was also the attorney for the prisoner. "On the 22d of August one Eugene Thion, a perfect stranger to me, applied for and obtained a summons for perjury, alleged to have been committed by me on the trial of the said Jean Lafourcade, in that I had stated (as the fact in truth was) that I only came to London towards the end of Sept. 1864, and had never been in London before ; whereas the said Eugene Thion alleged I arrived in Lon don on the Bth of September. " I was committed to take my trial on that charge, but was admitted to bail ; no evidence of any kind being ad duced before the magistrate of any other charge or assign ment of perjury. " 9. My trial came on before the said Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C., on Thursday, the 21st of September inst., when I was tried on the above assignment, it being held by the learned Recorder to have been wholly immaterial " 10. M. Berryer Fontaine, physician to the Emperor of the French, and many other persons attended on the trial, who were ready to -prove distinctly that I was in Paris at the time it was pretended I was in London, and the hotel keeper and his wife, where it was sworn I lodged, and two of their guests, proved before the magistrate that I was not there at the time alleged, nor until the end of September. "11. The indictment against me contained two other as signments for perjury, viz2:— " That by deposing upon the trial of one Jean Lafourcade at the August sessions of tho Central Criminal Court, that that from the time I came to England till I was taken in custody I never told Jean Lafourcade or any one else that I was going to America or that I intended to leave Eng land and go abroad, and that by deposing at the time and place aforesaid that on May sth when Jean Lafourcade came to me in Whitecross-street prison I did nct speak to him, I did commit wilful and cos rapt perjury. 12. Notice of the above additional assignments of per jury was given to me and my attorney, but notice of the witnesses intended to becalled in support thereof was not given to either of us. 13. The jury found me guilty upon the said two last mentioned assignments, but I solemnly declare I am wholly innocent thereof, and I respectfully solicit that this my pe tition may be referred to the said Russell Gurney, Esq., Q,C., for his opinion. "14. I am prepared with abundant evidence of my in nocence, if any evidence whatever be thought necessary beyond what is already known to the said Russell Gur ney, Esq., Q.C. "15. That my proper counsel, W. C. Sleigh, Esq, be ing engaged in a trial in which the life of a prisoner was at stake, and which he, therefore, could not leave, several hundred sheets of brief were handed to an able member of the bar at ten o'clock on Thursday, the very day and hour on which my case was called on, and such counsel was ignorant of the facts except as he was able to gather the same as the trial proceeded. 6 6 And your petitioner most humbly prays that her most gracious Majesty may be advised to grant me a free par don on the ground that I am wholly innocent of the charge of which I have been convicted.

The Belgian National Rifle Contest. His Royal Highness the Count of FlanderS last Sunday week formally opened the annual contest for prizes held near Brussels, and known as "Le Tir National," to which for these last two years English vol unteers have been specially and cordially invited. At the time his Royal Highness opened the proceedings there was a fair number of representatives of London and country volunteer corps present, and the Count, whO was received .by them with military honours, returned the salute and entered. into conversation in English with the visi tors, whom he individually bad welcome to Brussels. After Sunday the number of English volunteers increased, many coming in by the Harwich and Antwerp routes, the benefit of the mail route via Ostend, the fares by which between Dover and Brussels were lowered by the Belgian Government to volunteers in uniform to one-half, about 17s. 6d. the return journey, being in some degree lost through the London and Dover Railway Companies refusing to grant return tickets. Notwithstanding the attractions of the four days' fetes in Brussels, the shooting place was crowded from morning till night each day, and shooting was carried on even on those days when there were many outdoor sights, with unabated vigour. The great majority of the competitors in the " any rifle series appeared to be of the labouring and artisan classes, which in England take delight in any sports except rifle shooting. The explanation of Tgris easily found in the fact that rifle shooting in Brus sels is exceedingly cheap, a franc being the general fee charged for five shots iu a prize series, and sighting shots are only charged for at the rate of a franc for 10, while in England there are few prize entries under lOs each for the same number of shots, and sighting a rifle has to be paid for at the rate of is. a shot. The workmen class of competitors in Brussels possess exquisite gallery rifles, in which they appear to take the greatest pride, and there being only one range for " all comers" prizes—viz., 225 metres, or 246 yards, they exercise great inge nuity in so regulating their sights and charges as to make it a mere matter of personal steadiness to gain a good number of " cartons," the central part of the " beau blanc," the white here taking the place of the English black " bull's eye." The shooting ground is about 20 minutes' walk from a central part of the city, and all the shooting is done under cover of a large and handsome brick building, which is generally known as " Le Tir." The interior of this is about 200 ft. long and 30ft. or 40ft. broad. On one sido are 3G little " pens" or boxes for the shooters, each box opposite a window looking on a target. In the centre of each box is a desk at which sits a clerk, who watches the target, and enters in a book the value of the shots made by the competitor, and which value is shown at the firing point by a large figure " 1" standing for an outside shot, " 2 " for the next, and so on to " 5" for a bull's-eye, a red flag showing when a "carton" is made, the value of which depends upon its close ness to the centre. There is no time lost in squad ing, for the competitor has only to get his ticket for a series, to write his name and address upon the " coupon," and to enter at once the place set apart for the series. Every box or " pen" is fitted with a rack for the rifles, and shelves for the shooter's tackle, little matters in themselves, but which add greatly to the comfort of shooting. No " wrong targets" can be made by the firers, for boards are so placed on each side of the line of sight from the windows that only one target can be seen. Fixed screens effectually protect the shooter and the sights of the rifle from the sun. Opposite the shooting boxes are refreshment counters, places for cleaning arms, and the box for the Council of the Tir, the president of which, M. E. Dailley, is generally pre sent during the shooting. The marking at the targets is excellently managed, and is so arranged.that it would appear impossible for an accident to happen to the markers. The place for the markers is a paved and brick-built court, running the whole length of the range, and it is said to be an unusual thing for ladies to be walking up and down this while firing is being carried on. The targets, which are circular, of 3ft. 9in. diameter, are of paper mounted on iron frames, so contrived that if the iron should be hit the bullet would not glance off below. Behind the target is a high embankment for receiv ing all the shots, and white on the one hand no shots can go over, no harm can result from a rico chet. The target frames work on an axis, two to each frame, which is balanced by a heavy weight. On the target being struck a small disc points out the spot, a string is pulled which raises a number showing the value of the shot, and the balance being turned the target with the hole in it disappears, and a second rises in its place. While the first target is thus turned down the marker pastes a piece of paper over the hole made by the shot, and it is then ready to take the place of the other when it is struck. The shooting goes on very rapidly, and every half-hour the cartons and bull's-eyes of each target, which are dropped into a box numbered the same as at the firing points, are brought up by a clerk and shown to the registrar of shots. There can be no disputing of the marking, and the Tir pro ceeds uninterruptedly, except a stoppage for refresh ment, from morning till night. A sad and fatal accident occurred to a member of the Garde Civique on Monday. Some members of the Garde were shooting together, when one, in disobedience of the order that "no rifle is to be capped except on the rest," when the shooter comes to fire, capped his rifle while another was shooting, and stood with the weapon on his arm at full cock. A. jerk or touch of the trigger, the pull of which was exceedingly light, like all in use here, sent the bullet through the heart of the unfortunate man in front, and killed him on the spot. A public funeral was given to the corpse, and the English Volunteers fol lowed. The competition is for prizes amounting in the whole to 70,000 f., and is open to any rifle, and to "military weapons." The only qualifications for military weapons are that they shall have neither telescopic nor aperture sights, and that they shall be capable of carrying a bayonet or sword bayonet. The weapons which enter as military weapons are as different from the English notions of a military weapon as it is possible to conceive, they having fine bead fore sights, and exquisitely finished back sights, capable of the finest adjustment for bull's eye marking at a short range, where there is no need of allowance being made for wind. These weapons are mostly small-bores, and the charge of powder shot with is so light as to allow the shooter tobalance his rifle on the tips o f hi s fi ngers, a manoeuvre which gives him the a d van t age o f rest i ng his left elbow on his side, and the pull of the trigger is as light as the firer likes to have it. Of course, the Enfield, with its blurring rough and ready sights, is no fit competitor at this range and under these cir cumstances, and the English Volunteers are not backward in acknowledging the inferiority of their arm so placed ; but they do not hesitate to express the opinion that they could beat their hosts if a longer range were given them to fire at, and in the field their training with military rifles and at the various and long range targets would, without question, give them the greatest advantage over those who are practised only at the one range. During the week the English Volunteers have re ceived every kindness from the authorities and the different societies. Their uniform has admitted them to all festivals held here, and they have accepted the cordial invitations given them to appear at the grand balls given at the Rue Madeleine by the Societe llarmonique, the:Societe Royale Methul, and the Societe Reunion Lyrique. On ente ri ng the ball-room of the Societe Royale Mehul, the band struck up " God Save the Queen," and the o th er guests saluted the English visitorsin the most cor dial manner. The competition ends on Tuesday (to -morrow) and the prizes are to be claimed before the sth November.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a very large supply of foreign boasts and sheep on offer here to-day, in fair condition. Sales pro gressed slowly, at 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. less money. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate. The receipts from Scotland were trifling, but a fair supply reached us from Ireland. Most breeds came to hand in but middling condition. The beef trade was heavy, at a decline in the quotations com pared with Monday last of from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. The general top price was ss. 2d., but a few choice breeds realised ss. 4d. per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,300 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds ; from Scotland, 12 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 370 oxen, cows, and heifers. The total supply of sheep was very large. English breeds, however, were by no means plentiful, but their quality was tolerably good. The mutton trade was in a depressed state, and the quotations gave way 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. Prime Downs and half-breds sold at 6s. 4d. ; in some few instances at 6s. 6d., and even 6s. Bd. per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with calves, which moved off slowly, on rather lower terms. The highest figure was ss. 6d. por Blbs. The supply of pigs was rather limited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day, BOW-STREET. Michael Ryan, a big, hulking fellow, was charged with assaulting one of the barmen employed by Mr. Smith, the landlord of the Marquis of Anglesey, Bow-street. The complainant said the prisoner entered the house on Saturday evening in a state of intoxication and asked to be served with more liquor, which was refused. He became disorderly, and went to eject him from the house, when the prisoner seized him with both hands, and having swung him over his head dashed him to the ground with great violence. He received a severe wound on the temple from coming in contact with the ground. The magistrate said it was a cowardly proceeeding, and fined the prisoner 205., or 14 days' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mary Ann Rustick, a vendor of boot-laces, was charged with assaulting Mr. Hunter, the landlord of the Old Bell Tavern, Wellington-street. Mr. Hunter said the woman came to his house and asked for drink, which was, of course, refused. Ho went round to put her out of the house, when she commenced-slash ing him in the face with the bundle of laces she had in her hand. Mr. Flowers asked Mr. Hunter if he was much hurt ? The laces, however, did not appear to be very thick. Mr. Hunter said they were certainly not very thick, but each one had either a brass wire or a tag at _the end, and when all were used at once as a means of offence, they were exceedingly dangerous. He did not wish to punish the woman ; all he wanted her to do was to keep away from his house. Mr. Flowers told her he should send her to prison for a week. • Prisoner—Then bad luck to them for bringing me here. She was then locked up. Three men named Woods, Leonard, and Foster, were placed at the bar, charged with creating a disturbance and committing a violent assault. The barman to Mr. Lawson, landlord of the Two Spies, in Brydges-street, said on Saturday evening the prisoners Woods and Leonard entered the house and asked to be served with drink, which was refused, as they were in toxicated. They then became very abusive. Leonard struck him in the face, and Woods, had it not been for the assistance he received from Mr. Lawson and a friend, would have been very severely injured. Mr. Lawson, the landlord, said the prisoners came into his house, and because they were refused drink they be came very abusive. They were told to leave the house, and when the barman went round to persuade thorn to go, the prisoners conducted themselves in a most outrageous man ner, and a constable had to be sent for. Whilst the two prisoners were being conveyed to the station, the prisoner Foster came up and told him he had a good mind to servo him the same ; and he also said, "I'll do for you some day if I don't do it to-day." William Howard said he was called to render assistance. Woods came up to him, and threatened him if he inter fered. He afterwards knocked Woods down, and helped the constable to convey the prisoners to the station. John Joyce, a volunteer, said he was standing at the corner of Catherine-street, talking to a police constable, when a man came up and said the barman and the land lord of the Two Spies was being murdered by a set of roughs, and that a great riot was going on. He, with the constable, went up and found a great confusion. Seeing the constable required assistance, he at once rendered it, and when the prisoners were being taken to the station Foster came up to him and began menacing him. He told him that if he (Foster) insulted him, or attempted to stop him, as he was going on. duty, he would take him into custody on his own responsibility. He received a blow on the chest from Foster, and he then gave him into custody. Police-constable 117 F corroborated the evidence of Joyce as to the assault. Police-constable M'Gloir, 40 F, corroborated the evidence of the witnesses who spoke to the riotous proceedings in front of the public-house. The prisoners called some witnesses, who said they were not so much in fault as had been stated. They received a good character. Mr. Flowers said it appeared that the prisoners were not persons addicted to creating disturbances, and therefore he should deal leniently with them, as there appeared to have been a great deal of excitement throughout the disturbance. Woods and Leonard were fined 205., or 14 days' imprison ment ; and Foster was ordered to enter into his recognis ance; to keep the peace for three months. SOUTHWARK. SERIOUS CASE or STABBlNG.—Lauronce Fleming, a labourer, about 50, was charged before Mr. Woolrych, this day, with stabbing Jeremiah Ryan, also a labourer, under the following circumstances. The prosecutor, a delicate-looking young man, stated that he returned home last night about nine o'clock, and when ho came to the corner of Palmer's-rents, Bermondsey, where ho lived, he perceived a number of persons assembled in front of his house. Amongst these were the prisoner, his wife, and some of his relations. The prisoner wanted him to fight, and when he refused to do so immediately knocked him down and pulled a quantity of hair out of his head. He succeeded in getting up, but the prisoner's brother then assaulted him, and when he was on the ground jumped on him. The prisoner followed him to his door •with a large knife, and said J er ry, where is my hat ?" and on his reply ing that he did not know, the prisoner stabbed him in the back and he became insensible. He did not re cover consciousness until some time after he had been con veyed to Guy's Hospital. The knife penetrated his clothes and wounded him, but he believed not dangerously, although he was stabbod twice and was suffering from the attack which was made on him. One of the women in the crowd endeavoured to hold him while the prisoner attempted to stab him again, and if th e persons present p h i a n d .su n o o d t i h n i t m erf in er t e o d theh would have su ccee d e d . The prisoner house. Mr. 0. T. Duke, house surgeon at Guy's Hospital, said that the prosecutor was brought to the hospital last night about 9 o'clock, and he attended him. He was suffering from an incised wound about an inch long at the lower part of the spine, which appeared to have been inflicted with a sharp instrument, such as the knife which the prosecutor described. The wound was slight, but erysipelas might supervene, and he had known cases of a similar character where it had taken place. Under the circumstances he could not say that the prosecu torwas out of danger. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was fully committed for trial, Ryan being bound over to prosecute. THAMES. ILLEGAL GIN SHOPS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. —Timothy Hayes, a young man, son of Irish parents, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assault ing Adam Carr, a police constable, 40 11, in an Irish colony called Glasshouse-street, Rosemary-lane, near tho back of the Royal Mint, on Sunday morning, at half-past 1 o'clock. It appeared from the statement of Carr, himself an Irish man, that there was a row among his countrymen in Glass house-street, and it assumed such formidable proportions that he was obliged to cal l u p o n other constables to assist him in suppressing it. The prisoner was among th e p ri r o i t s e o i n •s e , r pulled his o and dwas c vs a r3 t r off, nnisy and quarrelsome. Th e used much foul language, struck him and knocked him down, and while he was down he was kicked. Ile could not say the prisoner was the man who kicked him. The statement of Carr was confirmed by another constable, who said the Irish were very noisy and quarrelsome, and they were all fighting with each other before the police interfered. The prisoner alleged that he was improperly interfered with by Carr and ill-used on his way home, and that leis coat was off all the evening in cunsequence of the heat of , ITIES. 9131 7 } r.._.-.

A census of the dairy cows of the town was taken on Thursday evening, when the number, which stood at 1,657 on August 17, just before the outbreak of the epi demic, was found to be reduced to 874. The whole decrease of 783, however, is not attributable to the epidemic, but in great measure to the panic, many dairy keepers have carried their stock to dis tant markets and run the risk of forced sales rather than incur the danger of infection. About 200 cows have been buried in the fosse opened to receive the carcases of animals unfit for food, and about as many more have been disposed of in other ways. The sanatarium has proved an almost total failure, and but for the opportunity given for the study of the disease would not be worth keeping up. Among the fat and feeding stocks the disease wherever it has appeared has been nearly as fatal as among the dairy cows, and some fine herds have almost totally disappeared under its fell swoop. The cattle trade has been utterly paralyzed by the blow, and the spread of the disease since the Falkirk trysts of September has given rise to an agitation to put a stop for the time to all public markets. On Friday the magistrates of Edinburgh received an influential deputation calling upon them to stop the holding of Hallow Fair this year, and the magistrates resolved to consult counsel as to their legal power in the matter. The approaching markets of Dalkeith, Cupar, Haddington, and other places, have already been advertised off. Meantime meat is rising to a frightful price, and butter has risen about 4d. per lb. within the last few days. At a meeting held at Lin lithgow on Friday, the Earl of Hopetoun presiding, it was resolved to recommend the county to impose a voluntary assessment on the proprietors and tenants to compensate those who have suffered losses by the plague.

DEATH OF LADY RAGLAN.—WC regret to learn that Lady Raglan died on Saturday after a very short ill ness. Her ladyship was the only daughter of the late Gene ral the Earl Beauchamp. She was born in 1832, and leaves a youthful family by Lord Raglan, to whom she was married in September, 1856. "'DEATH OF THE DUKE DE GRAMONT CARDEROUSSE, well known on the turf and in other haunts of the Paris fashionable world. His elder brother, who was in the Diplomatic service, having been drowned, he came to the title in the year 1851. The disease that carried him off was an affection of thelungs. The title of carderousse has expired with him. His fortune was considerably impaired by prodigality, but what remains of it—said to be stil something considerable—he has bequeathed to his phy sician, Dr. Desclot, with the exception of a legacy of £2,000 to some other person. The Sport says :—" Biarritz is extremely ani mated. The period of fetes and receptions having passed, the Court freely indulges in all the pleasures of the rilleggiatura. A small portion of the beau monde of Paris is assembled at this elegant seaside resort. There are many pleasant meetings and agreeable walks, receptions at the Villa Eugenie, social evening and' morning parties, din ners, and assemblies at the Casino. The Empress as well as the Emperor is beaming with health. His Majesty is very gay, in excellent h umour, an d appears greatly to en joy his stay at Biarritz. The Empress is most amiable and affable. In the morning she bathes at the Old Port, after first holding a kind of little Court, surrounded by her ladies of honour. In this circle may be seen persons of the diplomatic corps and of the fashionable world and foreigners of distinction towards whom her Majesty is inexpressibly gracious. She freely enters into conversa tion, compliments the ladies, deigns to notice the toilets which please her fancy, and by a few kind words makes many a one happy in the eager groups around her. THE " DINING ROOM " gives some trustworthy details concerning the produce in 1865 of the most celebrated Burgundy vineyards. Ilomanee-Conti has yielded 11 casks, or 280 to 300 dozen ; Clos Vougeot, 250 casks ; and Chambertin-Ouvrard, 20 casks. The vintage took place on the 12th, 13th, and 14th inst., in tremendously hot weather. The grapes were literally roasted. The quality of iihe wine is expected to be very goo d . THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD. --At the pre sent time the population of the world is estimated to amount to 1,000,000,000 of persons,- speaking 3,064 ;life is estimated at 33 years languages, and professing 1,100 forms of religion. The nqhdnuanri quarter of the children born die before one-half before their 17th. Out of the 1,000,000,000 persons living, 33,000,000 die each year, eir 91,000 each day, 3,730 each hour, 60 each minute, and con sequently one every second. These 33,000,000 deaths are counterbalanced by 41,500,000 births—the excess being the annual increase of the human race. It has been re marked that births and deaths are more frequent in the night than during the day. Calculating one marriage for every 120 persons of both sexes and of all ages, 83,000,000 are celebrated annually. Mn. SALA ON HIMSELF.--" Finally, will you believe me?. The Morning Star, a proi)os of a book I wrote on North America, after giving me a grotesque nickname compounded of the cognomens of two notorious liars—Mandeville and Mendez Pinto—was good •enough lately to wonder that I should be so sensitive about being accused of falsehood in narrating that which I had seen in the course of travel ; so that I may be taunted for doubting whether any testimony of mine respecting what Mexico is or is not like can be received as credible evidence: It is refreshing, is it not, for one whose life has been passed in wandering up and down and going to and fro on the earth in quest of truth, to be called by a scurrile Radical 'Mandeville Pinto Lineage' —a 'penny-a-liner and a ?'"—" Streets of the World," by G. A. Sala, in Temple Bar. The football match at Rugby, 'between the sixth form and the school, will take place on Saturday, the 7th of October, instead of September 30, as erroneously announced. 4' I C h, ed er I 100 et 1 too 1 luO 100 100 all 100 100 100 f 100 2 100 100 190 100 100 10 100 100 2.1.0 29 2.14.6 2. 4.9 8.3.0 3.9.0 10.8.0 101/ 1011 2 93", 3 906 1 trol a
