(Before Mr. Justice Shea.) CHARGE OF ARSON. Edward Breese, 15, tailor, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the dwelling-house of his master, William Andrews, he being therein at the time. The evidence did not bring home the offence to the pri soner to the extent charged, but it showed that he had committed a very wicked act. Mr. Justice Shee addressed the boy in very feeling terms, and told him the extent to which his act might have led him. Under the whole of the circumstances he ordered the boy to receive 12 stripes with the birch and then die charged. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) CHARGE OF BURGLARY. James Buckland, Thomas Murphy, and Ellen Smith were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Jas. Fitzgibbon, a bootmaker at Woolwich. _ From the evidence it appeared that on the night of the burglary the shop of the prosecutor was safely closed, but at an early hour one of the shutters was found to have been removed, and a boot and a pair of slippers were found to have been stolen, the burglars, it appeared, having been disturbed by the noise made by the breaking of the glass windows, which alarmed the inmates. With respect to Buckland, two Of the witnesses swore that they never lost sight of him until he was captured after he ran away from the spot, but with respect to the other two such was not the case. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery. Murphy and Smith further stated that they were not out of their own room at all on the night in question ; but that, on the contrary, they were in bed at the time. The jury found Murphy and Buckland guilty, but acquitted Smith. A former conviction was proved against Murphy. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said he found that Murphy had been previously convicted of a oharge of robbery with violence, which was a very serious offence. As he appeared to be a person of some education and ability it was not safe that he should be left at large. As he had on the present occasion been convicted of burglary, which was another serious offence, he should order him to be kept in penal servitude fur sevon years. With respect to Buckland the case was different. It appeared to be his first offence, and therefore he should only sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Madame Valentine surrendered to an indictment charg ing her with perjury. The circumstances connected with this matter have so lately appeared at length in all the public newspapers that a repetition is quite unnecessary. The trial is not ex pected to conclude till late to-morrow. FOURTH COURT. (Beforo the Common Sergeant.) THE RUSSIAN BANK NOTE FORGERIES. Augustin Ancenay, printer, was indicted with having in his possession, without lawful excuse, divers plates, stones, ex., for the production of fictitious Russian bank notes for 50 roubles each. The prisoner, it will be recollected, occupied a house at Datchet, and at that place the detective officers discovered the plates, stones, and other matters for the manufacture of the notes, and also a printing press for the striking off the notes after they were perfected. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Henry Thomas Durrant, en gineer of 23, Little Drummond-street, Euston-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting James Powell, a superannuated constable of the 0 division, and formerly one of the officers attached to the Marlborough-street Police-court. Powell said—l reside at 6}, Oxford-market. Last night about half-past 10, while I was lying down, my wife brought the prisoner and another man into the room. The prisoner said " We have got you now," and struck me on the face, threw me back, and, while the other man and my wife held me down, placed a pair of handcuffs on my wrists. (There were marks on the prosecutor's wrists, where the handcuffs had grazed them.) My legs were then tied together. The prisoner said he had a cab at the door, and was going to take me to the Marylebone workhouse. I called " Police " and " Murder ! " and the other man made his escape. It is not the first time my wife has done such a thing. The landlord and others came in, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Edward Stone, the landlord of the house 61, Oxford Market, said—l have always known the prosecutor as a quiet, man. Hearing a disturbance last night, I went op stairs, and found him lying on the bed, with his legs tied together, and handcuffs on his wrists. It was not the first time the wife had brought men to the house. I called in the police. Police-constable James Croske, 160 E, said—l was fetched to 61, Oxford Market, last night, about half-past 10 o'clock, and there saw the prisoner and the prosecutor, the latter with a pair of handcuffs on, which could not be got off, the prisoner stating that he had lost the key which unfastened them. The wife has been troubling me for two or three weeks past, wanting the prosecutor to be taken into custody, stating that he was mad. She has herself been in a madhouse. Mr. Knox—ls that the case ? The Prosecutor—lt is, sir. The wife of the prosecutor handed the magistrate a paper. The paper was signed by Mr. Clapp, one of the medical officers of St. Marylebone, and was an order for the pro secutor's admission to the insane ward of the workhouse. Mr. Knox (to prosecutor)—Did Dr. Clapp ever come and examine you ? Prosecutor—l never saw him in my life. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Were you sent to the place by any authority of the parish, or were you acting by the authority of the wife ? Prisoner—By authority of the wife. I have nothing to do with the parish. I have only just come home from a long voyage. Mr. Knox—The prosecutor says he never saw Dr. Clapp, and yet Dr. Clapp signs an order for his admission to the workhouse, on the ground that he is insane. I will send for Mr. Tubbs, the assistant overseer of Marylebone, and Dr. Clapp, that the matter may be explained. Inspector Silverton, C Division—The wife has com plained to me of her husband, and stated that he was mad. On Mr. Tubbs attending, Mr. Knox told him that the wife had handed him a certificate, signed by Dr. Clapp, and he wished for an explanation of the matter. Mr. Tubbs—Dr. Clapp issued an order for the admission of the prosecutor to the house, but when it was brought to me I declined sending any officers to take him. I told the wife that if she apprehended danger, and brought the pro secutor to the house, I would take him in, when having been seen by a magistrate, he would be sent to Hanwell, if necessary. The prosecutor was brought to the house, but ran away, and the master took no steps to recapture him, and I heard no more of the matter till the certificate pro duced was brought to my office yesterday. Mr. Knox—Then the parish had nothing to do with what took place yesterday, in authorising the prisoner, an engineer, to interfere. Mr. Tubbs—Nothing whatever. Dr. Clapp acted quite regularly, and a more discreet medical officer is not to be found in London. 1 have refused the wife's applica tion to send any officer to take him away. Mr. Knox-1 am glad to hear your explanation. Dr. Clapp said—l saw the prosecutor on the 7th, and he was then insane and very violent. He tried to knock me down stairs. I signed a certificate, which I gave to the wife, with the intention that he should he taken to the workhouse, and then and there the relieving officer would have taken the onus on himself. Mr. Knox—l think the certificate should have been given to the officers and not to the wife. You see what use she has made of it. Dr. Clapp—l gave the certificate on the ith, and perhaps would not have done so on the Bth, but it was not put in force till yesterday. The prosecutor was labouring under delirium tremens. The prisoner, when called on by the magistrate, and after being cautioned, Mr. Knox having expressed his in tention to send the case for trial, stated that he had acted solely by request of the wife, who stated that she had the proper papers for hie admission t• the workhouse. Mr. Knox said that it would be the utter ruin of the pri soner, who was a ship engineer, if he sent him for trial. He believed the prisoner was the third agent of the prose cutor's wife, and that he had been blinded by a Master's order of Dr. Clapp. Me should therefore fine the prisoner £5 or a month for the assault, as he believed that if he sent him to the sessions he would get no more punishment. The prisoner said he was to sail on Monday for New Zealand. Mr. Knox said he emphatically declared that but for the unfortunate circumstance of Dr. Clapp's handing the order to the wife instead of the officer the matter would never have occurred. which they both attacked her, as was expressed by a witness like furious lunatics. "Tbdluau beat her with his fists, and his wife struck her repeatedly with a key, in flicting eight severe cuts on her head and contusions on her body. The complainant was found by a police-con stable named Joseph Hague, No. 132 H, bleeding and ex hausted. Mr. Joseph Horton, surgeon of High-street, Stepney, who had examined the complainant, deposed to the serious nature of the injuries she received, and said that a key or some other hard substance had been used. The complainant lost a large quantity of blood. Several witnesses deposed to the savage nature of the assault committed on the complainant, and that she was kicked while she was down by the male prisoner. The prisoners said Mrs. Lewis began the affray, and only re ceived as good as she gave. They called witnesses, whose evidence was very contradictory. Tho prisoners had not received any injury whatever. Mr. Paget said he could not rely on the evidence for the defence, and that he was of opinion a most savage and dastardly assault had been committed on the unfortunate complainant. He sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. There was applause and clapping of hinds when the magistrate gave his decision. Mr. Paget called silence, and said the court must be cleared if there was any noise. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RICHMOND (YORKSHIRE) RACES—WEDNESDAY.

A WELL-MATCHED PAHL—John Frost, aged 40, a painter, and Henrietta Frost, his wife, aged 32, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assault ing Margaret Lewis. Tho prisoners have been dwelling at No. 17, Green Bank, St. George-in-the-East, and the complainant at No. 2, Roebuck• place, in the same locality. There had been some quarrelling between the women. Yesterday evening Mrs. Lewis, who has only been out of her confinement five weeks and was in a very weakly condition, met the male prisoner in a public house, called the Ship, in Anthony street, St. George-in-the-East. He called her very foul names and spat at her. He said he had a wife who couldbeat six women like Mrs. Lewis. He fetched his wife, and they both joined M using the most foul epithets. Mrs. Lewis said their language was not at for the beagte of the field, on SOUTHWARK. ONLY A FANCY.—Thomas Rogers was charged before Mr. Burcham with being drunk and endangering his life. One of the guards of the North Kent Railway said that last evening when' the train was approaching the New Cross station the prisoner opened the door and was very near falling out, and if he had done so he would unques tionably have been killed. The door was smashed to pieces. He was the worse for liquor, but not very drunk. The prisoner said ho had been drinking for three days, and his opening the door was only a fancy. Mr. Burcham said that as the damage to the carriage was not entered on the charge-sheet he could not make the prisoner pay for it, but ho would fine him 10s. on the other charge. THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MONEY BY A NEWS PAPER PROPRIETOR. —Mr. Burcham this morning referred to the case in which a summons had been obtained on. Tuesday by the secretary of the National Ho rse Insurance. Company against the proprietor of the Joint Stock Reporter and Insurance Review for threatening to publish an article calculated to damage the company in question. The facts have already appeared in The Sun. The worthy magistrate said that in tho wurao of the-proceedings the term "scur rilous" was applied to the article, but he had read it, and considered it very well written and a fair critique. Christ's Hospital. - - _ VISIT OF THE LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION. THIS DAY. This morning, it being St. Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and other members of the Corporation, proceeded in state to Christ's Hospital, Newgate-street, for the purpose of hearing the annual orations by the Grecians who are about leaving Oxford and Cambridge. Divine service was performed in Christ Church, prayers being said by the Rev. Prebendary Gibbs, and a sermon preached by the Rev. Claude Hubert Parez, M.A., Fellow of Pem broke College, Cambridge, one of her Majesty's inspectors of schools. The civic procession then moved into the great hall, which was well filled with visitors, the Lord Mayor and his party taking their seats at the western end. The prologue was delivered by Mr. John Elliot Hewi son, second Grecian, Thompson Mathematical Medallist and Montefiore Prizeman, Somerset Exhibitioner of St. John's College, Cambridge. Mr. Rlclimui. LEE, 4th Grecian, Rustat scholar of St John's College, Cambridge, delivered the great oration on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals. He thought there was no occasion to point out with minuteness what benefits were composed by such noble charities as those, for instance, which provided for the sick and dying, or by those which offered a refuge to the poor creatures whom Providence had visited with the fearful affliction of madness, or lastly by those that aimed at the reformation of the criminal and the stained with shame. The blessings which charities like these produced, and the benefits which they brought about were so plain and apparent that they were immediately re cognised by all, but the good which Christ's Hospital did could not be fully made known or duly appreciated but by those who had had personal and practical experience of it. And why ? Christ's Hospital did not receive those the very sight of whom was an appeal to their sympathy—did not take those who were a burden to the world, but re ceived and provided for such as had but few on whom to depend for support. Again, Christ's Hos pital was distinguished above the other royal hos pitals by the fact that she fitted her sons for every walk of life, and this to such an extent that were one to say that the object in view in founding Christ's Hospital was that it should benefit not a single sect or land, but indirectly the o world at large, he would but be uttering the truth, in proof which he might state that there was scarcely a land wher e art, and science, and industry flourished in which it was quite unrepresented. All honour then to the memory of its royal founder. By this one act he had shown to all succeed ing ages what kingly qualities he possessed. Need he tell them how that school had outlived the prosecutions of malic, and bigotry, unharmed by all the changes of more than 300 years. Need he point out to them how it had never experienced ruin or decay—how it had only gathered fresh strength from the lapse of time, and even gained both more influence and power from the attacks which had, from time to time, been made upon it. It would be superfluous to remind them of this, for it had stood, and by God's help would still stand—for it was founded on a rock, a spiritual rock, and that rock was Christ. The orator passed a high eulogium upon the Rev. William Webster, who has been 3b years mathematical master of Christ's Hospital, and who has recently been presented by the governors to the rectory of Essex, vacant by the death of the R ev . Dr. Greenwood, e formerly Head Master. Th e ora ti on was Co li ie n delivered in excellent Greek, and was loudly applauded. Mr. JOHN EDWARD, First Grecian, Thompson Classical Medallist, and Richards Medalist, 1865, Scholar of Wad ham College, Oxford, proceeded to deliver the English oration. After dwellin g upon the merits of the school, he said :—lt was almost needless to point out how the original character of the school had been in reality sustained throughout all the changes and improvements which had been introduced from the time of the first foundation until now, how bountifully it still supported those who most needed, and who could best appreciate the education which it offered. How when its noble objects became more fully end more justly esteemed, it a d vance d in one uninterrupted c ourse o f prosper it y t o t h e hi gh recognise, d position which it new occupied, and how throwing off the trammels with which a narrow prejudice would hamper its exertions, it strove to follow out in the spirit, rather than in the letter, its first founder's royal liberality. It was eminently iu its objects and early institution a Protestant school. Founded by the first Protestant King of England, admitting only Protestant boys, using in its services the prayers that an eminent Protestant bishop composed, it was a meet emblem of the religion of the reformer estab lishing itself, and flourishi ng upon the foundations that the Romanist had laid. There yet remained a cluster whose walls were said to have echoed to midnight masses and to solemn requiems, and which in later times had been lighted up by the flickering torches of the sad procession, chaunting the Burial Anthem at night behind the bier of a dead com panion. Closely, however, as Christ's Hospital had followed her early traditions, she had not suffered them to stand in the way of improvement, or to blind her to the necessity of such changes as the times demanded. She had now her library and her gymnasium. The education she bestowed was from time to time so improved as to keep pace with the progress that other schools were making around her, and she had reason to boast of some of her sons that had done her honour in the eyes of the world He would not now go through the long list of distinguished children who had passed away—the list that began with Camden and ended .with Leigh Hunt—but could point to some that were even now winning themselves a name. At the late commemo ration at Oxford an honorary doctor's degree was conferred upon a former scholar of that house, famous for his high university honours, for the dignified position he now held in India, and for the extensive reforms that he had effected in the tangled mazes of Indian law. Others there were less known perhaps to fame, but occupying useful and honour able positions in their several paths of life. These should never amid their success forget what Christ's Hospital had done for them—should never forget that it was there they learnt not only their first rudiments of knowledge,. butindep en d ence an d self-re liance much to gain them their high positions. After a complim en t to the Lord Mayor for his services in the cause of education th e ora t or p asse d t o a ls w o h those t oh m early lessons done of so public affairs, referring especially to the death of Mr. Cobden and President Lincoln. Then, after adverting to home affairs and the retirement of the Rev. W. Webster, ho bade the masters and governors a hearty farewell. The orator retired amidst loud cheers. Cambridge.

Edward Stack, 39, and Eleanor Stack, 28, man and wife, were charged upon an indictment, and also upon a coro ner's inquisition, with tho wilful murder of their male child. The circumstances, which have been detailed in the police reports, were of the most painful character. Tho jury found the man not guilty, and convicted the female prisoner. Sentence deterred. THE CASE OF ESTHER LACK-THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. Esther Lack, aged 41, was indicted for the wilful murder of Christopher, Eliza, and Esther Lack, her three children. Mr. Lilley prosecuted. The first witness was the eldest son of the prisoner. He told a melancholy tale, the details being those which were narrated iu the police reports. His mother was or dered to go to the hospital, when she said. " I do not like to go to the - hospital, and leave my children to the world's charity." He had often heard his mother speak of things that were irrational and not true. He gave many instances, showing that the unfortunate woman laboured under severe mental delusions. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity. Mr. Justice Shee said he entirely concurred in the verdict. The Alleged Poisoning of a Young Lady by her Lover. - ADJOURNED INQUEST.—THIS DAY. SALISBURY, Thursday. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Miss Emily Sophia Blake, aged 19, who was alleged to have been poisoned by William John Storer, a surgeon, and late assistant to the father of the deceased lady, was resumed this morning at the Town Hall. The prisoner was not present at the inquiry. Superintendent Caldow aaid—l went to Falmouth on Thursday; the 7th of September, to apprehend William John Storer. I did not meet with him there, but went on the Bth to Exeter, and from there to Topsham.. I found him there.' I informed him that I was come to apprehend him, and read the warrant which I had. I searched his person in Mr. Salter's house. He wished to go up-stairs, when I said, " Mr. Storer, you:must recollect;you aro my prisoner, and where you go I must go." When I read the warrant to him, he said, " I did not murder her. I have been absent from her father's house three weeks." I gave him the usual caution, and then said, " Mr. Storer, did you. give Miss Blake any medicine previous to her leaving her father's house, or have you sent her any since leaving her father's house ?" His reply was " No, never." Ho then said, "Is she dead ?" and I said, " Yes, poor girl, she is." He then said, "If she is dead, her father is the cause of it.'" Then it was he went up stairs into his bedroom, and took out of his coat a bundle of letters, and placed them on the dressing table. I said, " Mr. Storer, I must take possession of those letters, and everything else that belongs to you here." After washing himself we came down stairs. He opened his portmanteau, and I saw a quantity of letters and wear ing apparel. I left the house with him, and got my war rant backed. I took him to Exeter, and thence to Salis bury. I afterwards went to Falmouth to the prisoner's lodgings, and there I found two cases, one of which con tained a small medicine chest and a number of letters. In the medicine chest there was a variety of drugs, which I have showed to Mr. Martin Coates and Dr. Bla,ckmore. There were also some drugs in the dressing case. I took one packet of drugs out of the medicine chest to Professor Taylor on Monday last. The pink Laver produced con tains six grains, and the professor has taken five grains out of it. It has on it. a portion of a label, of which the letters 'tyro" only remain. _ _ _ The Coroner then read the letters found by Superin tendent Caldow. The following were amongst the corre spondence : One of the letters says:—" Thanks, darling, for the powders. I have taken two, but no good yet. Mamma wroto to aunt and said it is my time ; I was to take care of myself. Do you think you had better send me something stronger ? I mean pills—also more powders. lam always down in the morning to take the letters out of the box, so you need not fear sending the pills, so long as I have them in the morning. I hope 1 shall be all right before I come home, for mamma will be sure to ask me on Friday. Write to morrow. Good bye, pet." No. 2 : "My Darling, —Mamma says that papa is in a way about me, and is going to examine me. Do you think ho will find it all out. Mind, I shall still say you have taken no liberties with me. Say yes or no to ' Fernanda' whether he will find it out or not. Burn this." No. 3 : " Dear Pet, Do you think you will go away before tu d e you will write to me, darling, wo n 't you. r Butday I hopef you ou go. I thinkif you get bett er b y Saturday the change you may come back again; that is, if y ou want y u won ' t to. Do give me something to make me poorly by to-morrow, mamma will know it ; and if you lovo me you will seek to keep all trouble from me. Oh, lam miserable. I really think it too bad of you not to sand me something to bring it up." No. 4 : "Mamma asked mo this morning if lam poorly. It has aot come on at all. If it does not corns on this evening - or to-morrow morning mamma will find it out, and then papa will examine me ; that is what it will be. 011, you don't know how miserable I am. Do put me up something this Inorning for it, and put it in the back parlour, where you Are going to put the other. De you think that I shall be dl right? I thought I should have been yesterday after what you said. I don't know what I shall do. I shall die if lam not. If you love me, darling, you will try all you can not to get me into trouble. Now don't forget i to put .ne up something directly after breakfast." No. s: "It is just coning on, darling, a little. I don't think I ought to take any more pills, and that I shall ba all right now." Letter No. 6 was of similar purport to Nos. 3 and 4. The Coroner then read some letters which had been pro luced by Superintendent CaldoW. Mr. Leich, a juror —I should like you to ask 11,', Blake few queztions on those letters. Mrs. Blake having been sent for, The Coroner said—Had you, before Mr. Storer left, any Cause to imagine that there had been improper connection between Mr. Storer and your daughter ? Mrs. Blake—None whatever. The Coroner—Had you any reason to suspect it ? Mrs. Blake—No. The Coroner—ls it a fact that you ware frequently making inquiries of her as to her irregularities ? Mrs. Blake—l might have asked once. The Coroner—These letters state that you had threat ened to have her examined by her father. Have you ever threatened there should be a strict investigation of her by her fat her ? • Mrs. Blake—No, I have not. I keep the key of the letter box, and the deceased could not get the letters out of the box without my knowledge unless she possessed another key. The Coroner—l think these letters which have been read show that there was a considerable degree of intimacy between the parties. Some other letters were put in and partly read by the coroner. They were letters sent by Storer to the deceased, and couched in the warmest terms of a lover, but as they did not affect the question under consideration the coroner refused to admit them as evidence. The Court then adjourned till half-past one, for the arrival of Professor Taylor. Bank of England Return,•-.Tliis Evaning.

Mr. Jewell, of Great Russell-street, has made a very welcome addition to the catalogue of pianoforte music by the publication of three new pieces of more , than usual excellence. The " Zeuobe Quadrilles," by W. W. Pearson, are exceedingly effective, and, although unaccompanied by any difficult pas- • sages for the performer, they are very pleas ing, and certain to become favourites during the approaching festive season. "La Gazelle" is a brilliant fantasia by Immanuel Liebich ; and the " Watchman's Tread," by John Fox, is a song after the style of the " Postman's Knock." It is pub lished both in B dat and C, and is remarkably well suited•to a baritone voice. Both words and music are equally good, which of course implies that it is a capital song. 93 15 131 133 6 6 67 7 , ) 71 73 110 111 48 49 8 9 133 135 153 134 126 .29 91 93 66 CN 63 65 45 47 35 40 104 106 121 i 1212 SO 92 104 106 38 40 125 1254 97 98 58f 5911 1139 141 3 S 1271 1281IP 98 ILO ,0371 32 84 1104 1114, en 891 104 105 j 361 374 - -p 10 11 p 118 120 77 78 11 12 159 154 60 62 57 59 81i 52 84 Ibt 150 155 3 p 104 106 5) 62 IsIONS. 56 58 101 102 48 5 9 10 99 101 70 75 101 103 102 ft. 3 10 , 1 1115 I iP 19 2) 9 91 64 66 53 :8 - 55 57 48 51 44 46 33 12 27 :8 25 f 7 , 101 105 p 101 1(2 lit SO 6 18 85 d 7 1 id 101 102 93 95 83 90 61 66 82 84 100 101 100 101 I 4 id 11004 1014 141 I I llt CT SECUIi 96 98 95 97 95 97 84 85 83 45 103 105 107 109 108 10t 1(5 107 3 105 109 111 104 106 106 iCB 107 109 102 104 96 98 9) 101 93 95 i 0 01 103 105 814 851 08 100 102 103 108 108 Ica 110 INKS, C} 9; 16 39 560 680 4 1 21 26 it 12 5, 21 :1 10 11 1 2 1 1 } 21 22 1 11 35 1 35 'a 2; 40 42 6 31 1} s 4} 41 21 14 11 13 25 35 I ft 1* 1, 12 2 30 32 470 490 15 2.' 13 15 174 183 6 7 - 8 10 70 75 165 175 75 80 271 321, 4 6 195 200 17 18 48 1981 133 1541 31 2j 3 661 i 121 f a 1054 5 44 125 41 4 51 96} 2 59 8/ 1391 123 72 661$ 33 111 1041 ,ITIES. fourth.

The Cholera at Smyrna. The following letter appears in the Levant Herald of September 13 : " SMYRNA, Sept. 9. "" At last the cholera may be reported gone. Only an isolated case or two have happened for some days, and the visitation is therefore considered virtually at an end. Though the epidemic itself, however, has died out, its effects on the local trade and industries will be felt for months to come. Our society of every class has been in a measure disorganised, and another month or six weeks at least must pass before business can regain its normal course. " The Relief Commission, thanks to English liberality, has now a large amount of funds in hand—nearly £2,300 in all. Its difficulty is to know what to do with this large sum, for I owe it to truth to say that the sensational statements put forth in the London papers as to the extremity of the local distress greatly over-colour the fact (the poor have, it is true, suffered much; but certainly not at all to the ex tent reported)—l doubt not with the best intention, and, as the result shows, with at least an excellent pecuniary effect. The Jews have, perhaps, been the heaviest sufferers from the disease, and as yet the Commission has done comparatively little or nothing for their relief. In fact, lam assured that the contribution from their own community to the commis sional funds have considerably exceeded the amount spent upon them. Such, however, as the action of the body has been, only its least praiseworthy features have found imita tion in the conduct of the village commissions"—for Bour nabat, Boudjah, and all the other hamlets have parodiedthe town. In Bournabat a considerable sum of money was raised, but what has been done with it no one knows. The improvised " authorities" have rendered no account to the public, and I am unable therefore to do more than hint at current explanations." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

FEMALE CRICKETERS.—A few weeks since we gave the result of a cricket match which had been played at Finchdean between 22 females—married and single. The return match was played last week, and it seems that the spirit of these eriuolined cricketers is likely to be kept up ; it is the intention, we understand, of the Finelideaners to challenge au adjoining village. In the return match alluded to the maidens beat the matrons by 42 runs. The following are the totals :—Single, 39-24 ; married, 14-7. Surrey Standard. HIGHLAND MODE OF DETECTING THE CATTLE DISEASE. —A correspondent of the Dundee Courier states that in 1814, when the cattle disease raged in Caithness shire, the following mode of discovering the animals affected was resorted to :—A peat fire was kindled, and leather burned upon it. The cattle were then made to ' move round it, when such as were affected commenced sneezing and coughing, •Kith matter coming out at their nostrils. Our correspondent says he has seen this mode tried on the Ord of Caithness, when 300 cattle passed through the or deal, and the diseased ones were separated from the sound. • The nummums, in Covent-garden, so well known as the resort of literary and political celebrities of past generations, is doomed to destruction ; the old house, like many others in the metropolis, being demanded as a sac rifice to " metropolitan improvements." The lease, i appears, has expired, and the Duke of Bedford will not renew it, as he thinks it will be better to extend Covent garden Market in consequence of the - ?apid increase of its trade. - ~,E7,lplM Share 13.14 st st st 50 20 too et I 10 100 all 10J 100 {lOO 2 100 100 VO 100 100 10 100 100 2.1.0 30 2.14.6 3.10 2.7.0 2.
