Money is easier at the quotations current yester day. Ten thousand sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank for shipment to Alexandria. The movements of the precious metals during the week have again been of an extensive character as regards the imports, which have amounted to about £599,716, chiefly from Australia and Ame rica. The exports have been to the extent of £124,957, a large proportion of which has been despatched to the continent through private houses. The Anglo-Swedish Steel and Iron Company is launched with a capital of £1,500,000, in 60,000 shares of £25 each ; of which it is not supposed more than £l2 10s. will be called up. 16,000 shares are taken by the vendors, and do not participate in any dividends for five years unless the divi dends on all the other shares amount during such period to 15 per cent. per annum. Already a considerable portion of the amount has been sub scribed, and the list will close for London on Thurs day, the 30th inst., and for the country on Saturday, the 2d December. The directors possess standing and repute, and it is believed the company will be successful. The object is to amalgamate the Iron, Steel, Shipbuilding, and Engineering Works and Estates of the Hogbo Company in Sweden with the Northfield Steel and Iron Company, near Rother ham, in England. The whDle of the estates and properties of the vendors, including blast furnaces, rolling mills, foundries, engine and shipbuilding works, &c., will be taken at a valuation by two valuers, one to be appointed by the vendors and the other by the directors of the company, and will be conducted on the principle as between an out going and incoming partner. Two o'CLocir. Business in the Stock Exchange Markets has been stimulated by sales for realisation of profits after the recent advance. Consols are consequently per cent. lower than they were yesterday afternoon, be ing 89k for transfer, and, less the dividend, 881 1 for the Bth proximo. The other principal British Stocks, though a little weaker, are not materially altered in market value. Foreign Stocks have been dull, and Greek have receded I per cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) GAVARON V. GAVARON AND CARTOUCHE (THE QUEEN'S PROCTOR INTERVENING). In this case the husband, who is a lawyer living in Clifford's-inn, obtained a decree nisi, by reason of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. After the court had pronounced the decree the Queen's Proctor became informed of certain facts which in duced him to plead collusion, adultery, and want of proper maintenance of his wife. The Solicitor-General and Dr. Spinks appeared for the Queen's Proctor, and Mr. Brown for the peiitioner. The respondent was not represented by counsel. The evidence fully proved that for the last eleven years the petitioner had been living in adultery with a female, who passed as his wife, at the Queen's Bench Prison, and elsewhere, and the object of the intervention by the Queen's Proctor was to prevent the decree being made absolute. The pleas of adultery and neglect were clearly established, but no evidence was given as to the collusion, and the jury found a verdict accordingly. Mr. Brown contended that the collusion not being proved when it had been pleaded was fatal to the application of the Queen's Proctor. The learned Judge decided the other way, and reversed the decree, but made no order as to costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE C. DUBOIS. they would not give them up (except Reardon) when asked to do so. James Connor, called to corroborate Simpson, said that the parcel fell out of Simpson's pocket, when Finch picked it up and ran away. Reardon cut the parcel open and; divided the spoil, witness having his share. It having been intimated that Reardon had previously had three months for stealing lead, Mr. Selfe said he did not think the boys could be legally charged with stealing after Cannor's evidence, and after cautioning them as to their future conduct, dis charged all but Reardon, whom he remanded. The Court had not risen 10 minutes, when Sarah Cox, the mother of one of the boys, was brought into court charged with assaulting the lad Simpson for giving evi dence against her boy. Simpson deposed that tho instant he left the Court this woman took hold of him and shook him violently, and then struck him on the face and on the back, hurting him very much. Police-constable 220 B corroborated the boy's testimony and said that the instant the boy left this woman said, " You shall suffer for this, you young vagabond," and struck him violently on the head. He remonstrated with her, and she followed him down Warwick-street, accom panied by a crowd of roughs, all threatening the boy. Defendant declared that she did not strike the boy, and only told him he ought not to play on his errands. Mr. Selfe said she had no business to say a word to the boy. Whether the parcel was stolen or fell from his pocket, he had a perfect right to give evidence, and wit nesses must be protected from being bullied in this manner. The accused was then mulcted in the ridiculously small sum of ss. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week, Spain and Chili. La Patrie publishes the following : "We are informed that the Madrid Cabinet is disposed to accept a European mediation in the Chili question. This news has been received this day at Paris and at London. " We moreover learn that a despatch has been sent by the Spanish Government, via New York, Aspinwall, and Panama, to Admiral Pareja, in command of the Spanish squadron before Valpa raiso, informing him how matters stand, and order ing him not to make any attack upon the ports of the republic. An armistice might, therefore, be signed at Santiago for the provisional raising of the blockade, and the suspension of hostilities." The same journal says : " Various chambers of commerce of towns which have important relations with Chili have sent dele gates to Paris to confer with the Government. These delegates, we are assured, have been told that the most effective measures will be taken for the protection of our commerce." La Patrie also says :—" The Madrid papers pub lish a petition addressed to the Emperor by a large body of merchants, soliciting his Majesty to exer cise his high influence to have the difference between Spain and Chili settled by international arbitra ment." The substance of the above has already appeared by telegraph. This bankrupt was described as a commission agent, of Percy-street, Tottenham-court-road, and to-day he applied for his release from custody, Madame Valentin, of 30, Claverton-street, Pimlico, being the detaining creditor. The debts are about £1,600, and the bankrupt claims to have £1,500 due to him in reference to the Tamira Railway Company. Mr. Robertson Griffiths appeared on behalf of the detaining creditor, Madame Valentin ; Mr. Reed also opposed on behalf of Mr. Brunel. A long examination resulted upon the bankrupt's transactions with Madame Valentin, and some evidence was given as to a sum of £2,000, but the Commissioner said that he consider it advisable to take the rest of the examination in a private room before the registrar of the day, intimating that as the bankrupt's real name was Coppa, the notifica tion in the name of Dubois would not be sufficient notice to the creditors upon the day of the appoint ment for the order of discharge. The bankrupt said that he could swear he had no debts in this country except those contracted in the name of Dubois. The Commissioner replied that as his real name was Coppa, his description, as given in the present proceedings, are incorrect. Mr. Griffiths said that such was the case, and the petition must be amended. The examination was then taken by Mr. Regis trar Murray in a private room, and of course the reporters withdrew, but the application was ad journed until after the choice of assignees. CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Forster). ACCIDENTS TO SERVANTS AND LIABILITY OF MASTERS. BACON V. STANFORTII. This was an action to recover £7105., ten weeks' wages during a period that the plaintiff was confined to the hospital in consequence of an accident while in defendant's service. Mr. Hicks appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Roberts representing defendant. Plaintiff stated that he had been in defendant's service from May up to August 2, the day of the accident, when he was with his master (defendant) in a gig. Defendant was driving, and in conse quence of the mare being very spirited and not having proper harness it bolted at a furious pace. Plaintiff was thrown out of the gig, and so severely injured that he was confined to the hospital for the ten weeks mentioned, and was even now an out patient. In cross-examination plaintiff denied that he had had notice to leave on the Monday after the acci dent. Mr. Roberts then called defendant, who deposed that he had given plaintiff notice to leave on the Saturday before the accident as he (defendant) was going abroad for a few weeks, and did not require plaintiff's services. The notice would have expired on the Monday after the accident. Defendant had intended to give the plaintiff something, but did not consider that he was bound in law to pay the wages while the plaintiff was in the hospital. Upon this evidence his honour said he could not find for the plaintiff, as it was positively sworn he was under notice on the day of the accident, but, in order to avoid future litigation, suggested that the parties should come to some arrangement as to com pensation for injury .

A DOMESTIC TYRANT.— WiTliam Thorpe, a carman about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting his wife Jane, a woman of slender make, who appeared to have been half starved. The parties have been dwelling at 1, William-street North, Stepney, where the prisoner was struggling with and beating his wife for an hour yesterday afternoon, and her appearance indicated that she had been very roughly used, and her face and neck were marked with bruises and contusions. She had been married to her husband 18 years, and had borne him nine children. The prisoner, a rough and boisterous fellow, here bawled out, " Tell the truth, madam ! You have had ten children! Mrs. Thorpe said her married . life Yv had been one of great sorrow and persecution. Her husband was a coafirmed drunkard. He had frequently beaten and disabled her. He was once before Mr. Woolrych for savagely assaulting her, and she interceded for him, and he promised to leave her and allow her 10s. per week. He paid one week's allowance only, returned to his home, and resumed his brutality. A warrant was applied for and granted, but he kept out of the way until the time fOr exe cuting the process expired. He then returned to his dwel ling, and commenced a course of savage tyranny. H e frequently came home intoxicated, broke up chairs and tables, and took out things to pawn to enable him to in dulge his propensity for strong drinks. He had not con tributed anything towards the support of his family for some time. She procured a scanty living by her own needlework and labour of her three boys. There were three other young children at home who could not work. Last evening (Friday) her husband came home partially intoxicated, and after abusing her he took away her last shawl and dress for the purpose of raising money upon them at the pawnbroker's shop. She at tempted to snatch them from him, and he boat her with his fists, kicked her, dragged her into the yard, where he beat her head against the stones, and run out of the house. She caught him at the door, took the things from him, and threw them into the parlour through the window. He then struggled with her again, and used her so badly that the bystanders interfered and took him into custody. Police-constable Wm. Elson, 809 A, was called into a baker's shop last night and found the woman covered with blood, the children about her crying, and a mob of 200 or 300 persons assembled about the place. The people said the prisoner had seized his wife by the throat and nearly strangled her. Several respectable witnesses, some neighbours and others living at a distance, confirmed the complainant's evidence in every particular. The mplainant was de scribed as an industrious, sober, 'and well-conducted woman. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses very rudely, and he asked Mrs. Jane Fergusson, a master baker's wife if he was not entitled to clean shirts, to which she replied "If my husband acted like you and did not bring me money on Saturday night he should not have one." Mr. Partridge, in a feeling and eloquent manner, des canted on the serious nature of the prisoner's offence, revelling in sensual gratifications, neglecting his home, subjecting his wife to insupportable tyranny and persecu- tion, and actually converting his wife and children's clothes into money to procure strong drinks. No wonder the poor and ill-used wife resisted her husband in taking away her shawl and dress. The complainant and her children were in a state of semi-starvation. The prisoner was a savage and wicked man, and he (M. Partridge) felt bound to put the law in force with great severity. He sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. A GANG OP YOUNG DEPREDATORS AND A VIOLENT Alorrann.---Tive youngsters, named Joseph Finch, 11 ; Frank Cox, 9 ; Michael Boyce, 9 ; Patrick Reardon, 14 and William Bull, 11, were charged with stealing a quantity of scissors and razors. John Simpson, another boy, 13 years of age, who gave his evidence in a very straightforward manner, said that on the previous evening he was coming down South-street, Chelsea, with a parcel in his pocket containing the articles in question, which had been ground, and which he was re taking to his master, when he stopped to play with these boys and another named Connor. Suddenly ha felt some one at his pocket, and looking round saw Finch running away with the parcel. Reardon afterwards gave him one razor, and all the articles were recovered but a pair of scissors, which Cox sold in Marlborough -road. He was certain this parcel did not fall out, as it was in a very deep pocket. Did not think the boys took them for a lark, as Railways. Miles Opened. Receipts. 1865. 1864. 1865 1864 Belfast and N.

Conductor Ward promptly attended, and several engines of the London Brigade followed in rapid succes sion, including some of the land steamers, by Shand, Mason, and Co. The firemen at once went to work, and, with the aid of the small hand-pipes, and the directions given by Mr. Bridges and Inspector Baddeley, the fire was got out without setting the large engines to work ; but a great portion of the roof has been burnt off, and the stock in trade damaged by fire and water. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Sketch of Louis XVIII. M. Poujoulet, who has written a variety of works, travels, memoirs, history, and some of them of much merit, is going to publish a " History of France" from 1814 to the present day, in four volumes, two of which will probably appear to morro A , or the day after. The following sketch of Louis XVIII. may not be without interest at a time when Parliamentary Government is held in such light estimation in France:— " Historians hostile to the House of Bourbon have not spared Louis XVIII., and they have assigned to him as his sole merit the pride of being King of France. But they will not efface what is not to be effaced. To the reign of Louis XVIII. at taches an importance and a lustre peculiar to itself, so as to make it impossible to confound it with any theory or to prevent it from growing great in the memory of man. This prince was the man of his time and of the circumstances reserved for his destiny. An Emperor who was always ou horseback had fatigued the world. France, from her immense desire for peace, was not displeased at having a King quietly seated in his arm chair, but whose fathers had known what battles were. The nation was vexed and wearied out by a restless and terrible will; and a Sovereign whom his infirmities unfitted him for a life of activity was, as it were, naturally sent to establish among us a constitutional system of government. Amid the disasters which an ambition that had grown to insanity brought upon us we wanted a King, the most ancient of Kings, who could speak from the height on which the grandeur of twelve centuries placed him ; a King whose misfortunes invested with interest ; whose soul was thoroughly French ; whose mode ration inclined him to political compromises ; andwhose clear perception enabled him at his mature age to judge of men and things. Such a King was found in Louis XVIII. Never was any prince's position more difficult than his ; he had so many knots of policy to unlcose that he left each for its own hour and acted with hesitation. Called to bear the sceptre at a late period of life, he had neverthe less, during his long experience, acquired a consider able knowledge of mankind. His will was persistent even when he appeared to yield. Nothing troubled him: his soul was firm and his intellect keen ; but why should we not admit that he was crafty? Poli tics are so intricate that a little subtlety is pardonable in a constitutional Sovereign. Sly but not malignant, he satisfied orrevenged himself with quotations from Horace. Ever master of himself, he was ever cour teous ; and politeness presupposes a certain kind ness of disposition and a command of oneself. Had Louis XVIII. been hasty or passionate he could not have performed the task which Providence marked out for him. The 18th century had left its marks in his thoughts, but if at times the man was frivo lous the King was never so. Restorations and com promises go together. The inflexible, the absolute, are rocks on which destruction is easy. Louis XVIII. was no niggard of concessions, and the his torian may reproach him with venturing a little too far in this way. But, though it be true that he greatly desired to content his enemies of the mor row, it cannot be denied that his condescension was never wrung by necessity, and never the result of misplaced confidence. During the ten years of his reign he practised in all sincerity the representative regime, and it is to the constitutional predominance of this or that political system that should be assigned the successive changes in the conduct of Louis XVIII.'s Government. He deli vered us promptly from the foreign armies which, it was pretended, he needed to prop up his throne. He paid our ransom and debts which were none of his incurring; he gave us liberty, re-established our credit, led us once more to glory, and imparted to our country an immense movement of confidence. Conspiracy was ever busy during his reign, and, in spite of the assaults on his cro wn , if h e on ly con sulted his heart, not a drop of blood would have been shed. Napoleon had exhibited the terror of the sword ; Louis XVIII. displayed the power of the sceptre, and that power was for us liberal and conservative. After so many terrible shocks, after the excesses of brute force, people had lost all notion of the majesty of right. They saw it appear in its calmer grandeur. Louis XVIII. showed it living and invincible. The axe might cut it down, but intimidation would not make it bend. That majesty of right in which nations breathe, and which was like the majesty of our nation itself, will endure as a sort of glorious vision in the history of our convulsions, our usurpations, and our social devastations. On the 24th of October, 1824, were celebrated, in presence of a vast concourse of peo ple, and pursuant to the ceremonial of the ancient monarchy, the obsequies of the King. The coffin reposed for a month in the Church of St. Denis, was lowered by 12 of the Body Guard into those vaults from which the remains of his ancestors had been torn 30 years before. The Grand Master of the Royal Household reversed his staff, and cried, The King is dead !' and the King at Arms having answered, 'Long live the King !' the cry was repeated by all present to the sound of trumpets and drums, and, amid military music, Louis XVIII. went to his sleep where his fathers had slept ; and Charles X., whose accession was proclaimed by the cannon outside the church, was fated not to attend the rendezvous to which his brother summoned him. The vaults of St. Denis await in vain his Royal re mains, as the palaces also await in vain the return of their ancient inmates." MADAME VALENTIN.—This complicated case, which bids fair to rival even the renowned one of " Jarndice v. Jarndice," appears to be cropping up at every step in some new phase or another, but the most recent and certainly the most novelproceeding has just been accom plished by the indefatigable solicitor for Madame Valentin. It will be rememberd that upon the examination of Madame Valentin on the charge of perjury at Guildhall, of which that lady was subsequently convicted and im mediately afterwards pardoned by her Majesty, that a warrant was applied for and granted against a person named Coulane, who, it was alleged, had committed per jury on previous proceedings against Lafo urcade. Coulane however, not deeming it prudent to stand his trial on such a charge, quitted the country and entered the army of France, and his evidence being now material for the prosecution against Hall and others for conspiracy, dm, Mr. Leverson applied to the Foreign Office for an assurance that the Attorney-General should be instructed to quash all proceedings against Coulane u p on his appearing at the trial and turning Queen's ev idence. A communication was at once addressed through Lord Clarendon to our chargi de'affaires at Paris, requesting him to endeavour to obtain the consent of the French Government to the ap pearance of Coulane at the forthcoming trial. The re quest was complied with by the French Minister of War upon the faith of his lordship's assurance that Coulane is not to be subjected to any criminal proceedings or deten tion in this country, and a semi-official intimation has also been convoyed to Coulane, that if he shall give his evidence in a truthful and straightforward manner her Majesty will bo advised to grant him a free pardon in respect of the matter charged on the warrant now out against him. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.—A specimen of virgin gold has been discovered in a tin stream in Cornwall. It measures nearly 3 inches in length, and 21 inches in dia meter and weighs rather more than two ounces. ........ The directors of the Ebbw Vale Company have made a call of 15 per share, payable on the 4th day of January next, at the Bank of England or any of its branches. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets have not been very extensive, and prices in some instances have slightly given way. The reduction of the Bank rate of discount yester day, however, caused some animation. Sugar has slightly advanced in value, while a large business has been done in coffee at enhanced rates. Tea has been in moderate request at steady quotations, while rice, fruit, spices, and tallow have remained at steady values. • AMERICA. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] ARRIVAL OF THE JURA. (Via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (Noon). The South Carolina Legislature has adopted the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, thus securing the adhesion of the necessary number of States to make the amendment form of the Federal Constitution. Mr. Worth has been elected Governor of North Carolina by a majority of from 5,000 to 10,000 over Mr. Hobden. The States of Wisconsin and Minnesota have voted against negro suffrage. It is officially reported that the mortality among the negroes during the war against the South ave raged from 30 to 50 per cent. This excessive mor tality continues in many parts of the South. A semi-official statement has been published asserting that Mr. Crawford, the British Consul at Havannah, gave direct personal assistance to the rebels during the war. Over two million kJ-ales of cotton and 50,000 boxes of tobacco had been smuggled through the blockade with Mr. Crawford's connivance. A list of persons in England stated to Lave fur nished the rebels with contraband of war has also been published. DENMARK. • -O. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 23.--In the Folkthing, Col.

General Kilpatrick has been appointed Minister to Chili, and he will previously visit Spain on azi official mission. Preston King, the collector of the New York Customs, has committed suicide. The Georgia Convention have repudiated the rebol debt. Outlawry conflicts between the whites and the negroes continue in Mississippi. Provisional Governor Sharkey has received orders from Washington to continue his functions as Governor until further orders. The Georgia Convention and the Mississippi Le gislature have petitioned the President to pardon Mr. Davis. The Provisional Governor of Georgia has sub mitted 'o the State Convention documents advising the State to claim the cotton seized by Sherman, and subse quently confiscated by the Federal Government. Orders have been forwarded from New Orleans to muster out all the colored regiments that can be spared. Governor Humphreys, of Mississippi, had issued a proclamation calling upou citizens to maintain law and order, and to avoid oppressing the negroes in any manner. Texas advices state that the freedmen in that State generally refuse to work, and that the agricultural inte rests there are suffering greatly in consequence. Col. Thomas, assistant commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in Mississippi, announces that the Le gislature of the State manifests through the action of the Committee on Freedmen a disposition to deal fairly and generously with the negroes, several bills for their protec tion having already been framed. The negroes in Louisiana are said to be regarded by the white population with increasing aversion. Large numbers of Germans, Swedes, and Danes are pouring into Virginia. But the supply is not equal to the demand. The prices fixed for their services as farm hands or labourers is $l5O a year, with food and lodging, for men between twenty and fifty years old, and for women $lOO. Bolling Hall, James H. Clanton, and other pro minent citizens of Alabama, have issued an appeal to the planters of the State to meet in convention at Mont gomery, October 18, to devise means to reorganise labour and to provide for the "ignorant black man." A despatch from New Orleans says that General Canby has received orders from Washington to muster out of the service as many negro troops as can be spared. Several negro regiments are soon to be discharged, and, in order to prevent insubordination among them, General Canby has ordered that they be not allowed to purchase their weapons. The Mississippi Legislature proposes to set apart 25 per cent. of the public debt to pay the State debt tax to be levied for the support of disabled Confederate soldiers and the widows and children of soldiers killed in the war. Where colonies of freedmen exist in the Southern States at such points as the relief system of the Freedmen's Bureau has not reached the mortality among the freed people, as shown by the official returns to the bureau, has reached nearly 30 per cent. Where the operations of the bureau have been so extended as to take in a number of these colonies the mortality has been speedily reduced to 4 per cent. by the medical assistance of the bureau official. The population of Atlanta, Georgia, is estimated at 22,000. Owing to the scarcity of houseroom, small frame tenements, with only four apartments, bring 100 dollars per month. A great deal of attention has been given of late to the cultivation of tea in the Southern States, especially Georgia and South Carolina. A correspondent' of the Savannah Herald, who has been experimenting in the matter for the last five years, says that his plants grow finely, and the flavour of the leaves is excellent. The plants require no care after the third year, and do not need renewing for a long time. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says that more than half the spelling-books now sold in Houston go into the hands of negroes. Several schools for colored persons are now in operation in Houston and Galveston. Many planters buy a stock of school books for schools already, not unfrequently upon plantations. The recent elections have resulted in a decided Republican victory. In New York, Slocum (Democrat), was defeated for State Secretary by Barlow, by about 27,000 majority. In New Jersey, Marcus L. Ward (Re publican) was elected governor by a majority of 2,000; while in Massachusetts, Bullock (Republican) was elected governor by 76,000 majority, General Crouch, his oppo nent, receiving but 25,000 votes. The elections in the Western States also show large Re publican gains. It is semi-officially stated that the United States army now numbers 189,000 men of all arms. A severe gale had been experienced on Lake On tario, and much damage had been done thereby to the ship ping. AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—Isaac Newton, Com missioner of Agriculture of the United States, in his report for October, says :—The threshing of the wheat has shown that the injuries from wet weather were over estimated. In the report for August the returns for the wheat crop showed in quantity and quality that there was a deficit of 26,241,698 bushels, but the estimates now made, which are final, exhibit the decrease under last year's crop in quan tity to be 12,172,994 bushels. The increase in the oat crop in 1865 is nearly 50,000,000 of bushels, and of the hay crop of 5,000,000 of tons. The tables exhibit the Fall crops as most abundant. That of corn is all that could be desired. It will be the largest ever grown in the United States, so that plenty of cereal food will bless the country and the labors of the farmer. The corn crop is equally good in the Southern States, and as planting there is much greater than ordinary that section can consume only a portion of the amount grown. It can, therefore, the Com missioner says, devote the next crop season to a greater production of cotton. A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN NEW YORK.—On the morning of the sth inst. the residents of the lower part of New York were startled by what seemed to be the report of a cannon. Some vague rumours went flying from mouth to mouth that an infernal machine had blown up the Wyom ing Hotel, No. 325, Greenwich-street, and it was soon ap parent that something of the sort bad taken place. It was found that not a pane of glass was left in the windows, every door was burst open, some taken off their hinges, and others split from top to bottom. The mirrors in the par lours, two very fine and costly ones, were shivered to atoms. The furniture in the parlours and other apartments was broken and displaced. Beds were thrown across rooms ; chairs, stands, and tables were not only thrown down, but in many instances hurled against the walls with force enough to break them. The buildings on the block between Duane and Jay-streets, on which the hotel is situated, were also much injured. The hotel is near the corner of Duane-street, but every house on the block was more or less injured. Every window was shattered, and the doors of the stores and dwellings broken open, and the chimneys thrown down. Eighteen persons have been more or less injured by this explosion, some of them very severely. The cause of the accident is mysterious ; for the explosion is attributed to the presence of a square box, containing some chemical fluid, which a man named Leers, a boarder at the hotel, had left there. The following is the statement of this man, who was at once apprehended :—I am a German, born in Hanover, but residing until a few months ago in Hamburg, when I resolved to come to America. Mentioning my in tention to Wilhelm Roe, a large commission merchant of that city and a brother Mason, ho said he would help me. a small m de e m ric ij a oh to n of advantage. chemical H o e il d , id wh n i o c t hh s H a e i d g l a could ve m sell in e ex plain to me any of the properties.of..h oil,thelhadtaken but t en sentitto me passage ou board the ship Donau, in N\ h to New York. When I received it it was boxed up, and I never opened the box or tried to sell it. I slept with it under my bunk on board the Donau. I arrived in this city on the 28th of August, and went to the Wyoming Hotel on the 31st. I left there on the 11th of October. I forgot the box, but afterwards told Mr. Schoonmaker, Messrs. Yolk's clerk, to get it for me, which he neglected to do. 1 am innocent of any crime. I did not know what was in the box." Leers was detained.—Neto York, Tribune.

The prospectus has appeared of the Naples Public Works Company, a new undertaking, with a pro posed capital of £1,200,000, for the purpose of exe cuting public works in Naples, and will commence operations by constructing a Boulevard upwards of a mile in length, connecting the centre of the city, the Royal Palace, and the Government buildings with the chief carriage-drive of tho city. A tender for this work has been made and accepted by the municipality of Naples, who are to contribute a subsidy of 1,800,000 francs, payable progressively as the works proceed. The revenue from rentals, it is calculated, will yield at least 10 per cent. per annum on the cost of construction. The first issue of shares will amount to £600,000. The shares are already 21 to 3 premium. Mr. J. F. O'Brien, who for many yegs has been in Italy, is appointed Secretary. Yesterday the convict Charlotte Winsor was brought up in person before the Court of Queen's Bench on a writ of habeas corpus, but after some discussion her case was ordered to stand over till next term. The Chicago Tribune of the 2nd says—A Major General in the confidence of the President—if wo may re ceive his own assurance upon this point—was given to understand but a few days since, in a frank interview with his Excellency, that the message would receive and convey to Congress all execut ive responsibility in con nection with reconstruction : that his Excellency would say for substance : " Gentlemen of the two Houses,—l have the honor to represent to your soveitahreeithgneeetuinescilts e that u p on u p on a ssuming office I found a very conciliatory policy reorga nizationalready of inaugurated, Louisiana, lying formall y, ready i n: the Administration, for universal application upon the return of peace. Coming to the Presidency under such circumstances as shadowed my coming, I could not think it courteous to my pred ecessor, or to his constitutional advisers, who were also mine, to interrupt the course of events already shaped, by the introduction of theories more satisfactory to myself. I have, therefore, without essential modification, carried forward the plans of your late President, not without the approval of a large pro portion of my fellow-citizens, deferring the formation of a new policy until I could avail myself of your very valu able counsels, and hero I pause for your reply." General Canby has issued an order at New Orleans, revoking all the restraints or conditions hereto fore imposed by military authority on the sale or transfer of lands in Louisiana. The California Navigation Company has just launched the largest steamer ever constructed on that coast, designed to run on the Sacramento River. She cost $3OO 000. CHOLERA IN THE ATLANTA.—The Atlanta steam ship, which took cholera across the Atlantic, sailed from London with about 150 passengers, and on arriving at Havre received about 400 more, most of whom were Ger mans.
