MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No change is observable in the prospect of the Money Market. The brokers are refusing to nego tiate business in the best short short-dated paper under 34 per cent., as the belief still exists that the Bank authorities will soon have their minimum. To the Bank are therefore taken nearly all the bills brought forward, but the inquiry for accommoda tion is not very large. The amount of gold withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England was 40,000 sovereigns for transmission to Alexandria. A sale has been effected to-day of Mexican dollars at 4s. llkd. per Ounce. It is given out that the Imperial Credit Anstalt of Austria is about to contract a loan amounting to £3,000,000 sterling for the Pasha of Egypt. . During the last few days rather less animation has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in moderate request, at steady rates, while superior qualities of coffee have maintained full prices. Rice and cocoa have remained dull, and there has been scarcely any business transacted in tea, while tallow has been in fair demand, at steady rates, for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 50c. Very quiet. The English Stock continues in an unsteady and languishing condition. Business is very limited, and there is no desire on the part of dealers in the public to speculate. Consols are 898 90 for money and account. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities are 891 4 ; do., 1885, 18 / 1 I ; Exchequer Bills, par 4s. prem. ; Bank Stock, 248 ; India 5 per Cents., 104- s ; do., 4 per Cents., 99 ; Enfaced Paper, 5} per cent., 110. In the market for foreign stocks no material change has taken place in prices. Consolides are 491 a ; Mexican, 23/ 8 ; ditto New, 228 23* ; Greek, 201 21; Spanish Passives, 28/ 8 ; Certifi cates, 13/ a ; Italian 64 I ; Oonfederate Loan, 7 9 ; United States Five-Twenties, 70 f ; Erie, 524 534 ; and Illinois, 881 89. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market, and prices have shown a slight improvement. Great Eastern have advanced £1; North Western 15s. ; Great North ern A Stock 10s. ; and North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern each ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without material alteration in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain very quiet at about previous quotations.

It appeared that a person named John Wood was a member of a building society at Walthamstow, and as collateral security for £2OO advanced him by that society he assigned to trustees acting on behalf of the shareholders the lease for 97 years of some cottages which he then possessed. He was also to pay the debt by instal ments, but failing to do this the trustees sold the interest in the cottages for £240. The defendant set up a previous assignment to that to the trustees, and also alleged that Wood by the last assignment did not empower the trustees to sell the estate. The Master of the Rolls decided that the last assignment should be binding. The Lord Chancellor agreed with his Honour, and dis missed the appeal, with costs. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) SIDNEY V. SIDNEY. In this case the wife had obtained a decree nisi dis solving her marriage with her husband, who was a man in affluent circumstances. The court afterwards awarded the lady permanent alimony, but a question was raised as to whether, when a full divorce had been granted, the wife was entitled to the same, as she would have been in tho case of a judicial separation, and the respondent had in timated his intention to appeal to another tribunal to re verse the award. Sir J. P. Wilde, at the sitting of the court this morning, said he thought, under the circumstances, that it would be advisable if ho explained his views in reference to the question at issue. By tho old ecclesiastical law the wife could obtain only a divorce mensa et thoro, but was entitled to permanent alimony. Referring to the section of the act bearing on this subject he thought by the constitution of the court it was empowered to grant permanent ali mony in cases of dissolution of marriage, for he could not think the Legislature contemplated placing the wife in a worse pecuniary position when she succeeded in getting a divorce from her husband than she would have been if she got merely a judicial separation. It had been said that granting permanent alimony in such cases would hold forth a pecuniary incentive to the exercise of actions for divorce against women; and no doubt, it being the duty of the Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage, it should endeavour to quench any attempts to dissolve the nuptial tie. But, on the other side, this pecuniary consideration might be supposed to operate in preventing the husband from com mitting himself so as to render himself liable to its imposi tion. jt would be hard, indeed, if the husband, having, by his ill-treatment, desired his wife to seek for a divorce, and obtaining what he required, namely, being freed by the court from a partner who had become dis tasteful, should be exempted from making any provision for the woman who was the victim of his misconduct. In this case he would decree that the respon dent should allow the petitioner £245 a-year, which, with hei• other means, would give her an income of £4OO. That amount would not maintain her in the position she occu pied when living with the respondent, but it approached as near as possible to the award that would have been made by the ecclesiastical court. The Learned Judge then made the decree nisi absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE SIR J. A. DOUGLAS, KNT.-ONE OF ENGLAND'S NAVAL COMMANDERS. This bankrupt, who is somewhat advanced in years, is described as a retired staff commander in the navy, now on half-pay, and to-day was appointed for the order of dis charge. Mr. Denny supporting. The debts are only £144, with no assets, and the bank ruptcy is ascribed to insufficiency of income and non-pay ment of claims on her Majesty's Government. The bank rupt states that he is entitled as a retired staff commander to a pension of ss. per day as half-pay, which seems is pay able quarterly. He is also entitled to an out-pension of £5O per annum from Greenwich Hospital for wounds and public services. In addition to the causes of the failure Sir J. A. Douglas says—" I consider myself entitled to re ceive from her Majesty's Government a very considerable sum by way of compensation for services rendered, and losses suffered by me in the public service in China in the years 1839-40, during which period I protectO, at my own expense, British lives and property there.". Mr. Denny, on behalf of the bankrupt, made a most ener getic address, and pointed out to the Court the long ser vices he had rendered to his country, and his Honour granted the order as prayed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. DOW-STREET. INTERFERING WITH A SOLDIER ON DUTY.—Charles Pen nington, a shabbily dressed man of about 45 years of age, was charged with being drunk, and annoying a corporal of artillery in the execution of his duty, viz., in convoying a prisoner. James Collyer, a corporal of ,the C Battery, D Brigade, Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich—l was passing through London yesterday conveying a prisoner (a de serter), when ho had occasion to stop 'for a few minutes in the Strand, near Temple Bar. While I was waiting for him the defendant spoke to me, and told me to sheath my sword. I saw that he was the worse for liquor, and at first I took no notice of him. He then said he was a volunteer, and again desired me to sheath my sword. I told him I was on duty, and I should be obliged to him if ho would let me alone. He continued, however, to annoy me by insisting that I must sheath my sword. He caused a crowd to assemble, and they pressed around me so that I was afraid my prisoner would escape. I put him into a corner, and stood before him, to keep the crowd off, and after several times requesting him to desist, as I was on duty, I gave him in custody. Policeman Garner, 375 A, who took defendant into cus tody, corroborated the corporal. The defendant said he did not know that the officer was on duty, and he only spoke jocularly. He regretted that he had given annoyance, and he should not have done it if he had been sober, . Mr. Flowers said he wa,s glad at all events that the de fendant admitted himself in error and expressed regret. At the same time it was no excuse to say that he only did it jocularly. Nobody had a right to be jocular with a soldier on duty. It would be bad enough in a sober man, but tine prisoner, being drunk, had carried the joke a great deal too far, by continuing the annoyance after being re peatedly told that the corporal was on duty. He must say that but for the very creditable forbearance and good humour of the corporal serious consequences might very Proba . bly have resulted. However, considering that the defendant_ probably did not mean to do any great mischief, he would mitigate the penalty to .£1 fine or 14 days' im prisonment. The defendant WilB locked up in default of payment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WILFULLY DAMAGMG THE RAILING S OF ST. JAMES'S CHuncß.—A boy named Charles Wilkinson was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully damaging the railings of St. James's Churchyard, Piccadilly. Mr.• Benjamin Tissant, of No. 7, York-street, Sloane square, said that while passing St. James's Church that morning he saw the prisoner with a lump of wood knock off the head of one of the iron railings. He therefore felt it his duty to give the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that if every one was as prompt as the witness it would prevent a deal of mischief being done to property. Frederick Green, the beadle of St. James's, said that several of the railings had had the heads broken off, and they had not been able to find any of the persons doing the damage till fortunately Mr. Tissant caught the prisoner in the act. The damage to the railing amounted to 7s 6d. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the boy to pay the amount of damage, and a fine of 10s. or 21 days, observing that such gratuitous mischief must be marked. A Folt.Givixo WlFE.—James Pickett, a stoutly-built young man, residing in Husband-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with assaulting his wife. The complainant said—The prisoner is my husband; we have been married twelve months. Last night he struck me on the head, and the wound bled a little, but 1 am not hurt, and do not wish to punish him. • Inspector Harrison—The complainant received a very severe blow, and I had to send her to the hospital. The complainant—My husband did not intend to do it. He meant to strike me on the knuckles, but I put my head in the way. Inspector llarrison—l was informed that the prisoner deliberately struck his wife. The complainant—l don't wish to pro c e e d w ith the ca se. _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are a kind creature, but you must be protected. Your husband will only be doing it again if you show him any mercy. The prisoner—l only struck my wife to prevent her in juring my face with a glass. The complainant—That is not true. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Tho prisoner will have to find two bail in .£lO each for throe months. Railway and other Companies. SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN), LIMITED. The report of the directorsstate that since the last gene ral meeting the works had been proceeded with in the most satisfactory manner, and the progress which the con tractors were now making left little doubt that the line would be completed by the commencement of next year, thus anticipating their contract by nearly two years. In contemplation of an early opening of the line, the directors had considered it desirable to enga,s-e a traffi( ; manager and a locomotive superintendent, and tht7 woul. I proceed to Brazil at an early date, so that they might hate.) the opportunity of organising the staff and taking the neces sary steps to insure the efficient and economical worki. of the line.. The gentlemen selected for those important positions had both held similar appointments in Brazil be- I fore, and were, therefore, in addition to their other quali fications, conversant with the habits, customs, and lan guage of the country, an advantage, in the opinion of the directors, highly to be estimated. The relations between the company and the Imperial G o vernmeut and local autho rities were most satisfactory, and the directors continued to receive from the representatives of the Brazilian Go vernment the most friendly support and co-operation. The report of Mr. Bruulees, the engineer-in-chief, stated that the present position of the works, and the rate at which they were being advanced, warranted the belief that the railway would be completed and ready for opening in the early part of next year. With regard to the traffic he found that if they estimated a return for traffic based upon the tonnage at present carried to and from Santos on the existing road, and made an allowance for working ex penses of one-fourth more per train mile than it cost the Pernambuco Railway Company, •the receipts of the first year would more than double the working ercpenses. The total expenditure to the 30th . of June amounted to £2,174,049, leaving a balance at the bankers of £95,912. THAMES. RETURNING FROM THE FOREST.—Charles Plummer, aged 21, a. sweep, of 9, Pear-tree-street, Lambeth, Ellen Plum mer, his wife, 19, Thomas Edward Gosling, of the same place, 20, a sweep, and Mary Glancey, 61; of No. 14, Middle-pollards, Tower-street, Lambeth, the mother of Mrs. Plummer, were all charged with being drunk and dis orderly and assaulting various persons in Bow, Middlesex, last night. The parties had been to Epping Forest in a light cart yesterday, and indulged too freely. On reaching Bow Mrs. Glancey, who was inebriated, wanted Charles Plummer, who was driving the horse and cart, to pull up at a public house and have more drink. He refused to do so, and she laid hold of the reins. There was a violent struggle for the possession of the reins, and Plummer began to beat the old woman. She screamed, all the parties in the cart were fighting and tumbling over each other, the horse reeled, a mob collected about the party in the cart, and a police constable, named Joseph Goodson, No. 227 IC, seized the horse and told the party to desist. Charles Plummer ho mediately jumped out of the cart and struck him with a piece of the whip handle he had broken over Mrs. Clancey. He then threw himself on the ground and laid hold of the policeman's leg, and the young woman followed her hus band and tried to bite the constable. Gosling leaped out of the cart and took part in the affray. He struck the police man several times. A general skirmish then took place. All the partie s were on the ground fighting and tumbling over each other, 'while Mrs. Plummer and Mrs. Clancey used their tongues, and called out " Murder !" as loudly as possible. Mr. Harry Tucker, the landlord of a public house, who interfered in the interests of peace, was as saulted by the women, and Mrs. Clancey got possession of the constable's truncheon, and attempted to beat him with it. The staff was taken from her. Other constables ar rived, and the prisoner; instead of finishing their excur sion in Lambeth, road station-ho use , and the horse and cart were taken to were consigned to the calls of the Bow the greenyard. Mrs. Clancey declined to charge her friend Mr. Plummer with the assault, and said it was all owing to the drop of drink and the heat of the weather. Mr. Partridge said the prisoners had made a very bad finish to their day's excursion to Epping Forrest, and would apparently suffer for this a long time. Ho fined Charles Plummer and Thomas Edward Gosling 40s. each, Mrs. Plummer 55. only, and discharged the old woman Clan coy. The fines wore paid. The Earl Cathcart has left Maurigy's Hotel for Thornton-le-Street, Yorkshire. LORD DERBY AND HIS &N.—CURIOUS ELECTION INCIDENT.—An incident showing the odd changes which time can make occurred at Preston last week during the course of Conservative canvass in that town. The two Conservative candidate; along with their party, wore pro ceeding up one of the streets of the town, when one of them, with a keen eye to business, observed a voter on the other side of the road. A rush to him, and a demonstration of the usual blandness prevailing at election times, followed. An introduction succeeded, and after the voter had shaken hands with Sir T. G. Hesketh he turned to the Hon. F. A. St an ley (Lord Derby's son) and said, "Allow me to ex press the pleasure I feel at being introduced to the son of a man whose life I saved many years ago." The honourable scion of the house of Derby and his party wondered what the old voter meant, and as they appeared to be anxious for some explanation, he .procceded to toll how, many years ago, when Lord Derby, during the course of the celebrated contest between himself and Orator Hunt was being kicked, beaten, pelted with refuse, and generally abused by the Conservative mob in P res t on , an d t h en dragged opposite his (the voter' s ) h ouse, where in all pro bability he woula have been killed, h a d not he seized his lordship (then Mr. Stanley) , and pulled hi m i n t o hi s dwell ing, where he hid him in a dark closet. Th e i n f ur i a t e d mo b immediately afterwards broke into the house, but wore un able to discover Lord Derby. They then rushed out in another direction, fancying that his lordship had escaped by some back way. The voter then administered re freshment to the victim of Tory bigotry and violence secreted in his house, and afterward got some policemen to taken him to his head -quarters. When the voter had concluded the narration of this story the lion F. A. Stanley thanked the voter for his kindness at the time named, and then begged for his support "for his father's sake:" A negative reply Was give; and the hon. gentleman, consideraily surprised, rejoined, " But, you know, you are an old supporter of my father." "Yes," ho answered, " but your father has changed his politics since I was his supporter. I have not. I, like your father, was not a Tory then ; and I don't intend to go over to the party who abused him in Preston." He was questioned pretty closely about "that party," and some of the Conservatives present blushed pretty extensively whilst the ancient voter verbally castigated the Tories for hunt ing and maltreating Lord Derby when he contested Preston at the time named. He afterwards left the two candidates and their supporters to reflect upon the change that had ensued since the present head of the Conservative party in England was chased and almost beaten to death by a mad Tory mob in the very town which has just returned his son to Parliament as a member. :A DOUBTFUL STORY.—The Courrier de l'lsere relates the following extraordinary instance of determination which occurred three days since at Miribel Lanchiltre, in that department. A. boy, 12 years of age, named Durand, having climbed a tree to take a bird's nest built in a hole of the trunk, had just inserted his hand to reach it when the branch on which he stood broke, and, being unable to with draw his hand, ho remained supended by it. In this pre dicament, seeing no help near, he drew a pruning-knife from his pocket, and cut off his hand at the wrist. Having fallen at the foot of the tree without further injury, he walked homo, whence, after a first dressing had been ap plied, he was conveyed to the hospital at Cironoble. IN RE MATTI-A HEAVY DEFICIENCY. This bankrupt was described as a merchant of Great St. Helen's, and to-day was appointed for the order of dis charge. Tho accounts by Mr. W. F. Smart, of 33, Cole man-street, show debts £69,200, with a deficiency of £54,505. The case was adjourned. IN RE REES-ANOTHER HEAVY DEFICIENCY. This bankrupt was also a merchant of Great St. Helen's, coming up to-day for the order of discharge. The accounts by Mr. W. F. Smart show debts £91,200, with a gross deficiency of £85,700. The net deficiency is estimated at £13,000. The case was adjourned in consequence of the absence of counsel. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) _ - BAD MONEY AND PUBLIC-HOUSES - SINGULAR DECISION- JONES V. BEAZER. This was an action to recover two shillings and sixpence in lieu of a bad half-crown alleged to have been taken at defendant's public-house. Plaintiff, in answer to his Honour, stated that she went to defendant's house and changed a half sovereign, receiv ing fronts, lad in the bar four half-crowns. Sho paid her landlady three shillings, changed a third half-crown on the following Monday, and the fourth she discovered two days afterwards to bo bad. She went to defendant, who said he was quite sure she did not gat the bad money at his house. His Honour—Did you have anything to drink when you went to change the money ? Plaintiff—No. I received the full money as stated. His Honour—l think, though I know it is not law, that when persons go to a publican or shopkeeper for change and purchase nothing, the tradesman is not bound to exer cise the same care that he would do if a purchase had been made. Defendant then said he was quite sure the money had not been taken at his house, as all moneys passed four or five times through his hands. It was, besides, quite ab surd to come to him four or five days after the coin had been received. His Honour —lf she had come the same day would you have changed it ? Defendant—Certainly not. His Honour said it was useless setting up the defence. Defendant then made some strong charges against plain tiff and her husband, which were denied. His Honour said such charges should not be made in a case of this kind, and asked plaintiff if she could swear that she received the bad coin at defendant's house. Plaintiff—Upon my oath I did. His Honour then found for the plaintiff, but ruled that as she had been careless herself in not examining the money as she received it, he should grant no costs. Verdict for plaintiff, without costs.

The first ordinary generttl meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Taiiern—Mr. J. Dent in the chair. Tho Secretary read the report, which statod . that the company bought the business of Mr. Reuter at a price based upon the estimated revenue for the past three years, with its prospective increase, and from Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co.'s report the actual net profits during that period ex ceeded.considerably the average amount on whit.h their contract was based. The balance-sheet showed 'a profit of £6,645 for the six months ending June 30 last. The direc tors deClared an interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cont. per annum on the paid-up capital, which would absorb £6ll, and after payment of all charges and writing off £2OO from the preliminary expenses there would remain a balnnce of £2,442 to be carried forward. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, with regard to the dividend, the directors thought it prudent to proceed cautiously at first by giving a moderate ono with a view of increasing it in future. They considered it advigable to have a large balance in hand, as there was £30,000 due to Mr. Reuter for the purchase of the business, and there wore also other claims against the company. The directors had everyreason to believe that the dividend would be increased next year. The business of the com pany was very satisfactory. Sir T. HAY seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was unanimously carried, and the dividend recommended in the report was agreed to. The meeting was then made special, and a resolution was passed to prevent the company from investing its funds in the purchase of shares of the company. It was stated that there would bo no call until September. Mr. REUTER said the business of the company was well secured by contracts for six years. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the meeting. Precautions Against the Cholera. The local authorities of the outposts, and of cer tain other places in the United Kingdom, have re ceived a circular letter from the Clerk of the Privy Council, suggesting the adoption of precautionary measures against the spread of cholera. The letter runs as follows : Privy Council Office, July 22, 1865. Sir,—l am directed by the Lord President of the Council to requeit that you will call the attention of the authorities at to the reports which have appeared in the newspapers respecting the severity with which the cholera has visited Egypt, and to the fact that some cases of that disease have occurred in Turkey and in Italy. From the most recently received intelligence there is reason to believe that that disease is on the decline ; but while the Lords of the Council do not consider it necessary to enforce the restrictions of quarantine against vessels arriving from countries which have been visited with cholera, their Lordships cannot altogether ignore the apprehension that that serious malady may visit the United Kingdom. Feeling strongly the im portance of neglecting no precautions against the spread of the disease, if it should unhappily make its appearance in this country, their Lordships direct me to transmit to-you, for your information, the enclosed copy of a letter, which, by their instructions, was sent to the various outposts of the United Kingdom in 1859, together with a copy of the sanitary memorandum therein referred to, in order that the authorities of your locality may be enabled to take such measures as they may think proper for the preserva tion of the health of the inhabitants of their neighbour hood.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, _ E. HARRISON. The documents referred to are of great length, and set forth a number of sanitary precautions against epidemic diseases. INJURY THROUGH JUMPING FROM A TRAIN.—A frightful accident occurred to a young gentleman named Henry Tayleur, at the Earlstown junction of the London and North-Western Railway, on Friday night. Mr. Tayleur, about 22 years of age, is a nephew of Mr. Tayleur, managing director of the Vulcan Locomotive Works. He had been to Warrington, and was returning to his uncle's residence at the time of the accident. Near the Earlstown junction is a sharp curve, and on approach ing this it is usual to slacken the speed Of the train. It has been the practice on the evening train slackening speed for some adventurous persons to jump out of car riages whilst in motion. At all events Mr. Tayleur seems to have done so, his motive, it is understood, being to avoid having to walk .back from the New-bridge station. He got out, intending to jump on the siding, but in attempting to do so his legs became entangled in the wheels. One of his legs was caught, and completely torn from his body, and the other was fearfully mutilated. He was speedily convoyed to his uncle's dwelling, and surgical aid pro cured. He pathetically exclaimed, when taken home, " I am ruined for life." Wo hear that he had been courting a young lady in Wales, and ho had an excellent business prospect before him.—litanchester Courier. ELECTION DISTURBANCES IN WARWICKSHIRE.— Two men now lie at Warwick, so injured in the election• disturbances there that it is uncertain whether they will recover. After the polling was over, late on Fri day night, some men from Coventry, who had been parad ing the town, crying "Mordaunt and Wise (Conserattives) for ever," proceeded towards the railway station to return to that city, when they were attacked by partisans of Lord Duncan, the defeated Liberal candidate, and so severely handled that several of them had to bo carried away. It was allege'd that many persons had voted for Mordaunt and Viso who had no qualification, and popular indig nation at the result was carried to the length of destroy ing a portion of the polling booth. At Leamington a mob paraded the streets, "bonneting" people and throw ing stones. At Atherstone, Nuneaton, and Brine low, in tho northern division of the county, the mob made similar demonstrations. Intelligence reached Coventry on Saturday of the death of Mr. Morgan Treherne, one of the members of that city, through excitement in the recent election theye. PRINCE NAPOLEON IN SOUTH WALES.—On Saturday, quite unexpectedly, his Imperial High ness Prince Napoleon arrived at his beautiful corvette Le Jerome Napoleon at Cardiff. After landing from the corvette the Prince paid a visit to a few places in the town, and then took the express train for Swansea. His Im perial Highness travelled without any retinue of attend ants, being attended only by one gentleman. On Saturday evening the Prince drove around the neighbourhood of Swansea, and staid at the Mackworth Arms that night, and early on Sunday morning he paid a visit to Caswell bay, where ho bathed, and then returned to the Elms at the Mumbles. The distinguished visitor left Swansea on Sunday afternoon in a carriage and pair for Carmarthen and Milford Haven. The Prince purposes visiting Holy head, but it is not known whether he will returh to Cardiff, or whether the corvette will put in at Milford for him. ACCIDENT ON THE HAMMERSMITH RAILWAY.--on Sunday morning a Hammersmith train was running to lianimoriniith, and when it had reached the Shepherd's bush Junction, the kwitharnan on duty there opened the points and the engine passed along the proper line, but before the whole of the carriages had gone over the points the switchman let go his hold, and the consequence was that the connection between the carriages was suddenly severed, and the latter part of the train was thrown on another line, dashing against an old building and knocking a portion of it down. The guard of the train kept to his post, and was very severely shaken, while the passengers in the rear portion of the train were also shaken and alarmed. Stich accidents as the above, which might under some circumstances, prove more serious in their results, aro liable to occur frequently, either from carelessness in its various forms, or from unlooked-for accidents of a personal kind, such as seizures of cramp, &c., while the switchman is at his post, and this exemplifies the great utility of the locking'-gear, which renders the points immovable until trains have passed over. 'TIE LADY'S MILE.—Most of our readers , are doubtless aware that the favourite drive in Hyde-park is called the " The Lady's Mile." This name Miss Braddon has chosen for the title of her next literary adventure, which, we understand, is to commence in an earlyfiumber of the " St. James's Magazine," where it will succeed Miss Braddon's last and most successful work, ".Only. a Clod." The latter novel has reached a fifth edition. Prc , fessor Anderson's Property in Gipps' Land. V tr, "e have much pleasure ipublishing the follow correspondence.—En..SUN, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—ln The Sun of last evening I read a paragraph about Gipps' Land, where, it seems, that Professor Ander son, the Wizard, has some property. As lam about to emigrate ;there I want to know if it• is as good a place as it is said to be. There are four of my friends who are going out with me, and we would all like to hear a little more from Professor Anderson about the kind of place it is, and what our chances are. .If you have any more news f rom him. will you oblige r,s by publishing it.

I purchased the property in Gipps' Land 'at a land sale in Melbourne in 1859, never imagining that it would realise £2O profit. • Hor.'ever, for th e in tion of your correspondent and others, I enclose you the letter of my agent in Melbourne, Which you are at lib er ty to publish.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, TILE WIZARD OF THE NORTH. Waverley Cottage, Prahran, near Melbourne, May 14, 1865. MY DEAR AXDBRSON,—I have some very good news for you about that property you bought in Gipps' Land, and the papers for which you left with me. The picture on this will show what your property was like, and now it is on the outskirts of a town ! I wrote to you about their first finding gold in:that part of the ountry, and I told you that I had got Simpson to go over and see about your land. Ho told me when ho came back that he believed it would turn up all right soon—and so it has. " The yield of gold in the neighbourhood is richer than anywhere around Gipps' . Land—put in her . produce with Buckworth last year and beat Ballarat. Ballarat did 72,203 ounces for the year, and Buckworth with Gipps' Land did 83,083 ounces, with a higher average by far; her average being 1 oz. 3 dwt. 16 3-7th gr., and Ballarat only 4 dwt. 16 2-sth gr. They've built a town adjoining your property, and call it Sale. It's going ahead, and a railway through from Buckworth will be constructed very soon. No w, mind this, my dear Anderson, your property is every day growing in value. They want it . now, and I was so much surprised at what I heard it could be sold for that I have boon over to see it. There is no mistake about it, but that every square yard of it will soon be worth a bag of gold. I think I could sell it for you before the end of the year for thirty thousand poundS, or thereabouts; but would not liko to make any move without having full instructions from you. Why can't you come out yourself ? It would pay you better than conjuring, and hots Hai you might b.- come there's no knowing. James Wilson, who bought at the same sale you did, has sold his and has gone off to Calcutta with his money. God has thrown a. stroke of luck in your way, and you must attend to it Write me out full instructions, and send me proper power of attorney to do whatever you want, but come yourself if you can.—Yours, my dear Anderson, your friend to serve, ANDREW MACLACRLAN. To Professor Anderson, London. Mr. Frederic Maccabe's Entertainment Professor Anderson introduced to a London audi ence yesterday, at a private entertainment in St. James's Hall, a very clever young artist, of unmis takable Hibernian proclivities 'and of the full. aver age amount of Celtic drollery.. Mr. Frederic Mac cabe, following in the footsteps of Charles Mathews, Albert Smith, John Parry, Valentine Vox, Mr. German Reed, Mr. Arthur Sketchley, and other humorous delineators of class and character, has earned for himself in the Sister Isle considerable reputation, and there cannot be the shadow of doubt, looking at his own intrinsic merits, and having re gard to the favourable impression which he created in yesterday's amusing performance, that he will secure in the English metropolis no scanty weed of popularity. Favoured with an intelligent, personnel, and a peculiarly pleasing appearance, Mr. Maccabe, who is apparently little advanced beyond the years of manhood, is gifted with marvellous powers of mimicking, an easy and natural adaptation of cha racter, an incessant flow of the raciest humour, powers of ventriloquism certainly such as we have never heard approached, a well-cultivated and nicely-balanced voice, and perfect command over the pianoforte, the guitar, and the piccolo. With such a combination of natural characteristics, aided by gentlemanly address, keen appreciation of the ridiculous, and close observation of passing events, Mr. Maccabe sums up under the title " Begone, dull care" about as agreeable a mono-dramatic enter tainment as one could desire to laugh over. Hi s de lineation of " The Wandering Minstrel," in two pictures, " Romance and Reality," especially as the " Troubadour of Modern Days," was remarkably good, bringing to vivid remembrance Frank Robson in the greatest of his palmy days. " The Railway Porter" and his description of " the Lancashire Lad" were also faultless. Mr. Maccabe introduced several delightful morceaux cf vocal illusions in con versation with invisible beings, for the purpose of illustrating the perfection to which the art of ven triloquism can be brought, and he made six or eight of his leading sketches additionally interesting by the pleasant rendering of some characteristic songs, for the most part Irish in their origin, including Lover's " Whistling Thief," and two very beautiful melodies, his own creation, " Early in the Morning," and " Yeo, Heave Ho." Professor Anderson has engaged Mr. Maccabe for his season, which is to commence on Monday next, and no doubt the ad dition of such an artist will impart additional bloom to the already highly tinted " World of Magic." PROFESSOR ANDERSON'S NEW ENTERTAINMENT.— On Monday next Professor Anderson will commence at St. Jamob's Hall his farewell season in London prior to his departure for Australia. In a new and original entertain ment bearing the attractive title of " Begone, Dull Care," the Wizard of the North will be assisted, not only by Miss Louise Anderson and her sisters, but by Mr. Frederic Mac cabs, a gentleman who, though a stranger to the metro polis, has gained great reputation in the provinces.

The electors who return him, indeed, disavow his principles, say they return him simply out of curiosity, only because they think "he ought to be in Parliament." They may find, when too late, that this lazy laxity of public duty is playing with fire.— Weekly Despatch. Loss OF THE Slur ESSEX.—A telegram was re ceived yesterday in Liverpool, announcing the aban donment of the ship Essex, Captain Barnes, belonging to Fernie Brothers and Co., of Liverpool. The Essex was bound from New York to Liverpool, but shortly after leaing the former port she sprang a leak, and the ,water continuing to increase Captain Barnes determined on abandoning his ship, which was done on the 2d inst. in long. 60 W. The crew were in their boats on the open sea until the sth inst. when they were picked up by the Bre men ship Constantine, and landed at Deal yesterday morn ing, all well. When the Essex-was abandoned she was in such a condition that it was not possible she could keep boas afloat. She had only 3,000 staves on board, and both ship and cargo, we understand, wore fully insured. THE CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES. —Encourag ing reports reach ns from all portions of the country. In the west the wheat crop will be much more than an average yield, and the prospects for corn aro highly favourable. Oats, and rye promise well, but barley may be of small yield. There has been much more cotton and sugar planted in the Mississippi Valley than we were led to suppose from early accounts. The hay trop is enor 'moue. Fruit is abundant and of excellent quality, and altogether the promises of the coming harvest are most satisfactory.—New York, Herald.

A Modeneso by birth, ho became a political refugee many years ago, and found an asylum in this country. During the earlier portion of his English career he occupied the honourable but compare five-1y humble position of teacher of Italian at the University College, Gower-street. When the " delicate investigation" with respect to the unfortunate Queen Caroline took place, it is said that Mr. Panizzi evinced great aptitude in eluci dating mysteries relating to that unhappy lady, and that he thus obtained the notice of Henry Brougham. At any rate his course subsequently to that period was progressive until his guiding star culminated, and ho became principal librarian to the British Museum. We have only rumour, widely extended however, for authority in saying that the assistance of Mr. Panizzi has been often pressed into the service of the Foreign-office of late years, and that his di plomatic labours have largely supplemented those con nected with his office in Great Russell-street.—Building News. - - THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE MATTERHORN. — The Dumfries Herald says :—" Thursday and yes terday had been set apart as an occasion of great rejoicing at Glen Stuart and throughout the Marquis of Queens berry's estates, in celebration of the majority of the young marquis, but the proceedings have been suddenly inter rupted by intelligence that will be received with the deepest sorrow throughout the county and district. A telegram arriving on Wednesday afternoon brought the lamentable news that Lord Francis Douglas, a younger brother of the marquis, aged 19, who had been engaged in an alpine ex cursion, had perished in company with two companions and a guide while descending the Matterhorn. We need not remind our readers that Lord Fsincis Douglas was a young nobleman of the highest talents • and promise, and that great things were beginning to be looked.for frond ono who seemed likely to adorn the ancient name of Douglas with qualities well worthy of that old and distinguished house." v the and tend 0 of 11 he it 5 Ay, ace, was mi - dge 0 of ne, day chre sent and left and )od- [ r i d ley de- Share !3,14 st st st 50 20 100 {lOO 2 100 100 MEN 100 100 10) 100 100 190 100 100 10 100 100 .II iI. 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.3 601 all 1.1.0 7.8:3 8.13 4.3.0 211 3 32/ 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7 11 18.18.9 30.17.6 1021 1(3 111 122 I
