MONEYMARKET AND C 0 MME RCI AL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have not deemed it advisable to make any further alteration in the rate of discount, which continues at 4i per cent. This announcement was generally expected, as it was not considered likely that the authorities would lower their minimum quotation till after the pay ment of the dividends, notwithstanding the consi derable enhancement which is supposed to have taken place in the position of the establishment. The present rate is moderate, and it will not occa sion any inconvenience by its continuance a week or so longer. The demand to-day is slight, and as the Lrokers have a plentiful supply of floating capi tal at their command the terms for the negotiation of first-class bills are 4 and 4i per cent. The Stock Exchange markets show no important alteration in prices, but the tone is firmer, and some of the principal foreign stocks and railways are at a slight advance. Consols remain steady at 89if a for money, and 89i for the account. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon consisted of an influx of 111,000, and a withdrawal of 3,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. The French steamer, from Vera Cruz, is due at St. Nazaire, and is expected to bring about £600,000, chiefly in Mexican dollars, which are flatter in consequence. The directors of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway intend to issue a reply to the report of the Committee of Investigation, and it is con sidered likely that it will be presented to the share and debenture holders within a day or two. The fourth series of public sales of wool at Liver pool have been fixed to commence on the 23d inst. About 18,000 bales of East Indian have arrived, and further imports are expected, which will pro bably make the quantity to be offered 23,000 to 24,000 bales. The arrivals for the next London sales, which are expected to commence about the 15th November, are to the extent of 30,324 bales. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great Wester n 1866. 1865.80,25 76,248 North West ern 127,787 124,858 South Western Br 28,779 27,729 Midland • 33,023 32,596 Great N or th ern Lancashire an d Y or k s hi re 44,870 41,827 Bristol an d E xeter 7,319 7,287 North E as t ern 74528 73,345 Manchester Sheffield, and Li nco l n 21 . ,696 20,357 Great Eastern London, Chatham, and Dover 12,627 11 ; 835 These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, are generally of a satisfactory character.

The Montreal TVitness gives the subjoined account of the steps taken in London in order to obtain the restoration of Lamirande to liberty. The account, it will be seen, consists of a letter addressed by their London agents to Lamirande's advisers iu Canada : "London, Sept. 7. "Mr. J. Doute, Q.C., advocate, Montreal.—Dear Sir, Your telegram, dated Montreal, 30th ult., reachedus on the morning of the lst inst., and we immediately placed our selves in communication with Lord Carnarvon, who hap pened to be in Hampshire. On the 2d one of our partners went down to his lordship, who said he was not acquainted with any of the parties named, but hadreceived a telegram from Lord Monck, saying that Lamirande would arrive in England, but not saying who he was, or how coming. His lordship therefore did not see how he was to interfere. By notes and telegrams we instructed our agents at London derry, who, in consequence of the Damascus staying so short a time, were only able to ascertain that the parties were on board and had proceeded to Liverpool, and to so inform us. This information reached us on the 4th, the Damascus having touched at Londonderry at 8 p.m. on the 3d. Our information was so meagre that it was impossible to make an affidavit strong enough to apply, with the slightest chance of success, to a judge for habeas corpus and it being the vacation here, to get hold of a judge at all would be a work of some difficulty. We therefore, by tele graph, instructed our agents at Liverpool to go on board the steamer immediately on her arrival, see the prisoner, and ascertain the facts, and send us up affidavit by that night's post, so as to enable us to get a habeas corpus and intercept the parties in London. Our agents were not allowed to have an interview that night with the prisoner. They, however, managed to keep him in Liverpool, and in the morning made au application to the stipendiary magistrate for an order to have him brought before him. This the magistrate refused to grant, and declined in any way to interfere. Our agents then applied to the French Consul, and found him antago nistic to the prisoner. The police were applied to, but with equal bad success, the keeper of the prison where ho was bookin - r, him as " in transit." This information reached us by telegraph about 3.30 on the sth, and with it a de scription of the prisoner, and an intimation that the whole party, supplemented by the presence of a Liverpool detec tive, would reach London about nine, en route for France. An affidavit of facts was also sent by post, to be ready in the morning. Tho judge not being in town, the only chance was, by some means, to keep Lamirande in London until we could make our application. To do this we applied, at Scotland-yard, to Sir Richard Mayne, who consulted Mr. Waddington, the Under-Secretary of State ; and after some consideration they decided they could not interfere. We met the prisoner at the station, in charge of Melin, Sipling, and Carlisle (a Liverpool detective), the latter having a regular transit card from the head Liverpool office, and he stated his instructions were from the superintendent, who was acting in concert with the French consul, to see the prisoner through England, and leave him at Dover, in the hands of the French officer, and this he meant to do. Re sistance to Carlisle was useless, as the police would be on his side, and would help him as a superior officer. Lami rande seemed exhausted and in a sort of stupor, and unable to attempt an escape, and we were therefore obliged to let him go. The result was that the whole party left London by a very early train for Paris. We are sorry we could not carry out your instructions, but everything we could pos sibly do we did. We found out detectives in London were pretty well up to the story of his capture in Canada, and were expecting every day to have the job of ' running him through.' " DIABOLICAL CRUELTY.—EarIy yesterday morning it was discovered that a horse belonging to Mr. Cookson, of Stratford, whilst grazing in a meadow, had its tongue tied to the lower jaw with whipcord. It was supposed to have been done at least three days previous, and the suf ferings of the horse appear to have been very great. A reward has been offered for the discovery of the perpe trators of this atrocity. THE WOUNDS OF RIFLE BULLETS IN BATTLE. — There is in the museum of the Army Medical Department a very interesting specimen of a bullet, connected with a woundof the head, and exhibiting nearly one complete turn on its long axis after it had been thus caught or lodged. This bullet, a Russian conical rifle bullet, has been divided in its deadly course by an oblique slit from the apex or tip to the base; and the two divi ted parts are only held together by a narrow isthmus of lead at ono of the angles of the base of the section. But that is not all—this isthmus, or connecting strip, is twisted round itself like a piece of cord, carrying with it the thinner section of the bullet, or that section which was most easily acted upon by the twisting force. There are ridge and furrow lines on the separated surface of the bullet, and they are contorted from the right to the left—indicating the direction towards which the rotary force of the projectile has modified the direction of the bi secting force. Here we have the demonstration of the in fluence of the spinning property of a rifle bullet in motion, first detected, we believe, by Deputy-Inspector Gen. Thos. Longmore, professor of medical surgery, Army Medical School. Although, when the spinning force is first im pressed upon the projectile, it is limited by the degree of spirality of the grooves of the bore to one turn in a distance varying from 20 inches to 78 inches, according to the rifle used, yet there seems to be reason for believing that the degree of tub, or the distance within which a complete spin takes place, constantly lessens from the time the projectile quits the muzzle of the barrel, owing to the greater opposi tion to the forward motion than to the spinning motion in its passage through the air. At any rate, when the forward motion is stopped, or nearly stopped by a substance capable of opposing sufficient resistance, the shortened turn is in certain cases rendered obvious to sight, and it is undersuch circumstances that the fact is of importance to surgeons. The general conclusion drawn by Dr. Longmore is, if elongated projectiles, such as the Whitworth bullets, were substituted for the Enfield, first—that the number of head and trunk wounds would be greatly increased ; the amount of increase being proportional to the velocity and lower trajectory and greater hardness of the Whitworth hexago nal projectile. Secondly—that of these wounds a greater proportion than now usually happens in war would be at tended with fatal results on the field of battle. Thirdly-- that there would bo, in like proportion, a greater number of fractures of bones, as well as of flesh wounds of the ex tremities, but the comparative degree of severity of these can hardly be stated without further experience. — United Service Magazine. " General Garibaldi," says the Italia Militare, " has sent in his resignation as commander of the Volunteers, and it has been accepted by the King." Count de Barral, Italian Minister at Berlin, took leave immediately after the signature of the peace for the cong6 of a month. LIVERPOOL STATUE OF MR. GLADSTONE.—TIIO design for a marble statue of the Right Hon. W. E. Glad stone, to be the work of Mr. Adams, sculptor, and which, when finished, is to be placed in one of the niches in St. George's-hall, has been on private view during the past few days in Liverpool. The statue, which is to be com pleted in about a year and a half from the present time, represents the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer is his official robes. ri!E SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1866.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET INGENIOUS ROBBERY BY A DISTILLER'S WAREHOUSEMAN. George Hewitt, warehouseman, in the employ of Messrs. Rickards, of No. 207, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his employers of a quantity of brandy and gin. _ _ _ Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Sergeant George Clark, of the Detective Force, said— In consequence of instructions I received from Mr. Rickards, distiller, of Piccadilly, I yesterday evening watched the prisoner as he left the warehouse, and followed him into Windmill-street. I then stopped him, and told him that I was a police-officer, and that 1 suspected he had something concealed about him belonging to his employers. The prisoner said, " Then you had better search me." I said that I should do so, and asked him to go back with me, and he did so, and ou the way to the station he said he was very sorry to say that he had got some brandy and gin. On getting to the station I searched him, and found con cealed under his coat two tin cans, one containing brandy and the other gin. [The cans, ingeniously made so as to fit the prisoner's boq, were produced.] Mr. Rickards said—The prisoner entered into our em ploy in 1862, and, in consequence of suspicions I enter tained, I communicated with the police. I believe the brandy and gin produced to be our property. By Mr. Sayer—l have been three years trying to detect the prisoner, and have on different occasions taken bottles out of the prisoner's coat pocket, but did not discharge him, acting under legal advice. Mr. Sayer—The prisoner will plead guilty if your wor ship will deal with the case. _ _ Mr. Knox —I cannot do so. I must send the case to the sessions. The Prisoner was then committted for trial. THAMES. FALSE CHARACTERS.—IMPORTANT CONTICTION.—AIfred Hunt, a grocer's assistant, about 25 years of age, was brought bofore Mr. Paget, charged with unlawfully offering himself as a servant to Mr. Duncan Wallett, grocer and tea-dealer, in the Commercial-read, Stepney, with a false' forged counterfeited certificate of character, purporting to be signed by Mr. William Williams, of East-street, Wal worth. • Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for Mr. Wallett, and said the offence charged against the prisoner was of a very mischievous description. Grocers were more liable to be plundered than any other class of tradesmen, and it was of the utmost importance to them that young men of honesty and integrity should be employed by them. The prisoner came to Mr. Wallett,who carried on an extensive business in two establishments as a grocer, tea dealer, and wine and spirit merchant, and offered himself for the vacant situation of assistant, which the prosecutor had advertised. The prisoner was approved, subject to reference as to character, and referred to a Mr. Barrett, of Salisbury, as his lost employer. Mr. Wallett wrote to Mr. Barrett, and received a letter with the Salisbury post mark upon it, giving the prisoner an excellent and glowing character. Mr. Wallett's suspicions were aroused in con sequence of the unbusiness-like terms of the letterf and made inquiries through the great firm of Peck and Co., in the City, who informed him there was no grocer named Barrett in the city of Salisbury. The letter was a forgery. When the prisoner called upon Mr. Wallett again, he said he should like a town reference, and he subsequently brought a letter purporting to be signed by Mr. Williams, of East-street, Walworth, speaking of him in the highest terms. That letter was also a forgery. Mr. Charles Young then called 31:r. Williams and Mr. Walcot, who fully bore out the solicitor's statement. The prisoner made a romantic defence, and said he had married the daughter of a baronet in one of the shires, and that she gave him .£5OO to go through the form of mar riage after he seduced her, although he had another wife living. Through this affair ho obtained the forg characters. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a very grave offence, and fined him £2O, and, in default, three months' imprisonment and hard labour. London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. The report of the committee of investigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany was issued last evening, and forms a remark able chapter in joint-stock enterprise, comprising the whole art of making railways without money, at what cost to the real shareholders remains yet to be seen. It appears that from 1860 up to the pre sent time the whole cf the capital created and de bentures issued have been taken by Messrs. Peto and Co., or their nominees, and whilst the total ex penditure has been £16,683,302, even the nominal receipts on capital account have only amounted to £15,253,320, leaving a deficiency of £1,429,782. This capital has been placed on the market at various times by Messrs. Peto at most depreciated rates, and our readers will recollect that three fourths of the whole ordinary stock of the general undertaking, or £2,207,300, were, shortly before the recent panic, placed in the market, and sold at £27 10s. per cent. Messrs. Peto now claim that they did so only as the agents of the com pany, and therefore only give the company credit for that amount, less £38,500 expenses in placing it. Messrs. Peto and Co. have furnished an ap proximate statement of .-the balance alleged to be due to them from the company, amounting to £384,010 ; but the committee express their convic tion that, upon a full adjustment of accounts, .a large amount will be found due from the firm to the company. Large amounts of capital were nominally created, in one instance to the extent of £1,070,000, no portion of which, however, has been paid or expended, in order that the statutory declarations might be made and the debentures authorised on the payment of capital be issued, and debentures for £365,300 were accordingly at once created. The result is that the debentures far exceed the autho rised proportion .in regard to the capital, the total outstanding debentures on the City lines only being now £460,678, whilst the Parliamentary limit was £333,300, the capital being £1,500,000 (part of the amount put into the market in March last) was nominally created in August, 1864, and the full amount of debentures authorised immediately issued. The committee do not recommend any course for rescuing the company from its difficul ties, but urge the creditors and others to abstain from individual legal proceedings, and for the pre sent to leave matters to stand as they are, all funds being under the control of the Court of Chan cery, which will doubtless settle the position in which the various claimants stand as regards priority. A kind of supplementary report from the manager shows that within the next three years, to complete the line and stock it, a further expenditure of close upon £1,500,000 will have to be provided for. Altogether the report presents a most extraordinary state of affairs, and the only wonder is, not that the company has collapsed, but that it did not do so long before. It now behoves all parties interested to put their shoulders to the wheel, and devise some scheme for reconstructing the company, so as best to protect their various interests, as was done with the Caledonian Company some years since, and which, from being one of the most depressed, is now one of the most flourishing companies in the king dom. Parliamentary powers will no doubt be re quired, and in any act passed for the purpose suffi cient safeguards must be provided to prevent such flagrant violations of good faith, alike towards the Legislature and the public, as disclosed in the report now before us. The following remarks by the Directors of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, on the Report of the Investigation Committee, have been forwarded to us for publication : The directors, while assured of the desire of the commit tee of investigation to record the results of their inquiry fairly and accurately, cannot allow the report to go forth to the shareholders without pointing out some serious errors and offering a few observations upon it occurring to them in the short period allowed to them since its issue. The chief points upon which the report remarks are— 1. The difference between the amount actually received and expended upon the. railways and the total nominal re ceipts on capital account. Under this head they state that there is a sum of -no less than, £6, 057, 85/ 4 3 which has been expended in the re bate, loss, and interest, temporary loans and dividends, while the sum actually expended on the railway is only ... 10,625,498 7 3 Making a total 0f... ... £16,683,302 11 6 The directors would submit the following details, which were furnished to the committee, and which show that of this six millions the shareholders have already had the benefit, by stock issued to them at a discount, or by interesC paid to them upon their stocks of nearly four millions. Be-. yond this the money actually paid to the debenture holders was nearly £400,000. The shareholders and debenture holders have therefore had the benefit of about £4,400,000 ; the revenue loss another £400,000; and the actual charge for interest en the temporary loa', &c., is out of the total under £1,400,000.

The committee, page 14, charge the directors with leasing and working other railways " regardless of the sufficiency of the company's net revenue to bear any conse quent loss." 3. The committee, pages 13 and 15, make strong charges in respect of the manner in which subscription contracts have been entered into previously to obtaining the certifi cates of the magistrates for authorising the exercise of the borrowing powers. The directors are assured that in every instance the sub scription contracts have been entered into in the usual way, and it is the fact that in every instance, excepting that of the eastern section, shortly to be alluded to, the share ca pital has been fully created and issued either to the con tractors or the public. _ It is true much of this capital having been taken by the contractors as the consideration for executing the works was by them issued at a discount, from the fact that in no other way could holders have been found. The issuing at a discount was matter of regret, but also a matter of neces sity, and the directors altogether deny the charge made by the committee of intentionally evading or violating the Parliamentary powers—a charge based upon the supposi tion that share capital, whatever its real value, can only be issued at par. The debenture debt comprises a capital of £4,295,230. (Report, page 51.) The debenture-holders have the security of £10,625,498 actually expended on the line and works, irrespective of the £6,047,804 further capital before alluded to. Even on the showing of the committee the debentures ars backed by the security in share capital, fully laid out of more than the 50 per cent. contemplated by Parliament. As respects the Eastern Section, Sir Morton Peto and other parties subscribed ihe amount, and undertook in re spect of it to construct the lines for which the capital was raised, and were largely in advance to the company. The failure of that firm occurring the works have been sus pended, and Sir Morton Peto and Co., into whose names the shares have been transferred, seeing their inability to complete the contract, executed the transfer to one of the directors and the secretary of the company, in ordor that they might, so far as in their power, repair the injury which would result from the non -completion of the works. The receipts set forth in page 16 of the Report merely record the fact of Sir Morton Pete and Co.'s subnsesriu pectpntdioenr and payments upon the sh ares ands the oblig.atio which that firm lie to construct te works in res of which they held the shares. 4.—The Over-Issue of Debentures. This matter was fully explained to the general meeting of shareholders on the 31st of August, 1866. The direotors, in reply to the charge of the committee, -that the transactio n " was altogether unjustifiable," can only repeat that the transaction would have been perfectly regular if the money intrusted to Sir Morton Peto and Co. for the purpose of retrieving the pledged debentures had been duly applied to that purpose, and the directors submit whether they IWO u9t juetifisgl, in, anticipating that the commission so intrutsted was placed in safe hands and would be faithfully performed. s.—The Registration of £l,soo,ooo:Stock, The committee, at pages 19 and 20, have charged as an extreme irregularity the registration and conversion into stock of this capital, but it was taken by Sir Morton Peto and Co. as part of the consideration for executing the works and finding moneys for the purposes of the general under taking, and having been subscribed by them, and put in the names of their nominees, it was issued to them as paid-up stock, and so registered in the books of the company. This is part of the stock which was disposed of in March last, and for which the market value only was obtained. G.—Surplus Land, — The last general meeting had before it the statement of the company's valuer that the surplus lands would realise nearly the amount of the liabilities of the company on land account. The - committee have stated that part of the lands treated as surplus would be required for the company's business, and have contented themselves by saying that they have no doubt the surplus will ultimately produce a considerable amount. It is, however, scarcely doing justice to the posi tion of the company to omit the fact which was shown to the committee that this considerable amount would be equal to about £BOO,OOO, since a sum like this makes a material figure in the assets and balances of the company. T. Over-Statement of Deficiency in Revenue. At page 30 the committee give the deficiency of revenue upon the year ending 30th of June, 1866, at £274,165. It was pointed out to them that on the debit side they had charged a sum of £147,928 in respect of interest and com mission which could not again occur, and that this should have been specifically mentioned, so that the shareholders might understand that, instead of a deficiency of £274,000, the remaining deficiency would only be £126,237. It is, of course, a very different thing to look forward to overcome a deficiency in revenue of £274,000 or £126,000 ; the latter is really the deficiency, and the directors think it due to the shareholders that this should be made intel ligible. 8. So frequent allusion is made to Sir Morton Peto and Co. throughout the report that the directors feel bound to call the shareholders' attention to the fact that from the year 1858, in which the Western Extension of the under taking was entered upon, Sir Morton Peto and Co. have been well known to be the contractors for nearly all the company's works. The directors are not aware that any firm of contractors could have been found of greater power of capital, or higher character. The tone of the report of the committee would lead to the inference that no check whatever has been placed on the dealings of the contractors, and in page 14 the corn mittee assert that the necessary precautions do not appear to have been taken in fixing the prices to be paid on the con tracts. It is right, therefore, to state that the prices origi nally fixed were not only submitted to the company's engineer and reported upon by him, but were made matter of reference to the late Sir Win. Cubitt, and finally settled under his award, and that every subsequent contract was based upon those prices, and the variations submitted to the company's engineer, and the company had the benefit of his judgment. No certificate of works was given to the contractors except on the measurements of an independent professional surveyor. As regards financial operations, in which the company were assisted by Sir Morton Peto, the directors comprised in their own body gentlemen conversant with the money market, and were advised by others competent to form a judgment upon these affairs ; but the company has had to encounter great difficulties in procuring money to carry on and complete the works, and sacrifices were unavoidable. The Board cannot allow, withottt emphatic contradiction, any suggestion that they did not, and to the best of their ability, act upon a due consideration of all the circum stances of the moment, and with a sincere desire to procure for the company the best terms that could be obtained. 9. The Board had anticipated the Committee of Investi gation would have suggested some course for the extrication of the company from its difficulties. They think it right distinctly to record their opinion that the whole undertak ing will be in great jeopardy unless measures are promptly taken to raise capital to pay off the floating debts, and thus enable the debenture holders and shareholders to receive the net proceeds of the lines as they accrue. It is true, as stated by the committee, that the order of precedence of the different interests of the company is under the examination of the Court of Chancery, but the Beard cannot too strongly express their conviction that the Court of Chancery is by no means a desirable resort for a railway company, and the sooner the company can arrange its own affairs and deliver itself from the supervision of that Court the better it will be for the best interests of the undertak ing. The Board, after every examination, and using the re sults of the inquiries of the Committee of Investigation, are still of opinion that it will be requisite for the share holders to raise not exceeding a million of further capital, and this sum will be sufficient to retrieve the affairs of the company, and enable its directors to apply the net revenue for the benefit of the debenture holders and shareholders. It is impossible to conceive that the conductors of an un dertaking of the magnitude a the London, Chatham, and Dover can hesitate to raise such a sum for such a purpose. The directors themselves inviod the appointment of the Committee of Investigation, and although they have felt bound to criticise some of the details of the report, and to vindicate themselves from the charges which might be im plied from its tone, yet they feel, as they are sure the shareholders generally will feel, that these gentlemen will have placed the company under great obligation by the time and labour they have bestowed upon the investiga tion, and by the elaborate report they have issued. By order of the Board, W. E. JOHNSON, Secretary. NOTES FROM TRAINING DIS,TIRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET.

SHAMEFUL OUTRAGES UPON WOMEN.—Edward Rigby, a wood-cutter, was charged 'with the following shameful outrages upon women : Mrs. Anne Ryan, of 83, Great Peter-street, said that last evening she was in her shop when she saw him throw her servant down upon the pavement and endeavour to bite a piece out of her face. She went up and remonstrated with the defendant, and, with a neighbour, endeavoured to re lease her servant from his brutality, when he took off ono of his thick boots, and beat her about the face. Complainant was much disfigured. She had a severe black eye, and her face was swollen. Mr. Selfe—Do you say he was trying to bite a piece out of the young woman's face ? Complainant—He was, and that was the second person he had attacked. Defendant—T hey of course begun upon me, and kicked me about, and I took my own part- - Mary Anne Murray, 26, Great Peter-street, said that as she was passing along the street she saw the defendant grossly ill-using a young woman. He had been lying on the pavement, and was upon the top of her, trying to bite a piece out of her cheek. Witness endeavoured to remove him, when he assaulted her violently with his boot. Police-constable Matthews, 80 13.—1 found both these women bleeding from the face, and they gave the prisoner into custody. He was very violent, and it took three of us to get him to the station. _ . . Defendant—l was drunk, and I don't know what oc curred. They all knocked me about. Mr. Selfe —Your attack upon theso women has been most unprovoked. _ _ _ Committed for three months with hard labour.

The prisoners were fully committed for trial. They were admitted to bail in the sum of £5O each. THE CHOLERA. MANSION-ITOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE. At the meeti ng o f t hi s com mittee yesterday, Sir Mordaunt Well s i n t h e c h a i r , e xpressions of great gratification dropped from several of the members that the Times had, in a leading article that morn ing urged upon the Government the necessity, on many grounds, but especially as an incentive to exertion on the part of local sanitary authorities, of resuming the daily publication of the returns of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, and had so en dorsed and enforced the views expressed in the committee on that subject at their meeting on Mon day last. In the course of the day a communica tion was received from Mr. Arthur Helps, Clerk to the Privy Council, to the effect that a letter which the Lord Mayor had addressed to that department, recommending, on the part of the committee, the resumption of the publication of the daily returns, had been referred to Mr. Secretary Walpole, with whom the matter rested. From that quarter the committee confidently expect a favourable answer. At the meeting yesterday the committee voted £l,OOO towards the maintenance of the children made orphans by the disease, thus supplementing by so much the sum, of £5,000 which they had pre viously set apart for that purpose. From that fund they granted yesterday £1,230, to assist in providing for 123 orphans in Mile-end Old-town, the money to be dispensed by trustees selected from among some of the most influential inhabitants of the dis trict, and at the head of whom are two of the Messrs. Charrington, the brewers. At their previ ous meeting the committee voted £1,530 to Mr. R. Wigram and Mr. E. Currie, representing the Local Relief Committee in Poplar, towards the mainte nance of 153 orphans there, the money to be dis pensed in like manner by trustees c are f u lly chosen. Mr. Wigram, who is himself a member of the Man sion-house Committee, took occasion to say that the more wealthy of the inhabitants of that district had raised upwards of £9OO among themselves as a pro vision for the orphans there, and that sum would go to supplement the Mansion-house grant. The Lord Mayor, Sir M. Wells, and the Rev. F. Blomfield bore emphatic testimony to the energetic and credit able manner in which the Poplar Committee had acted all through the emergency. The Lord Mayor thanked Mr. Wigram personally for the conspicuous part he had taken on the occasion. 3lr. Wigram explained that much of the credit in reference to the orphans was due to his coadjutor, Mr. Currie. Yesterday an anonymous donor sent to the com mittee three dozen of port wine and a d ozen an d a half of brandy for distribution among convalescents from cholera. The Lord Mayor has received £l2 Bs. Id. from Bromsberrow, Malvern, a collection at a harvest-home, through the Rev. R. Hill ; £2O from Mr. J. Clerk, barrister-at-law, through Sir M. Wells ; £lO from Mr. J. Wood, Blackheath ; £lO 10s. from Mr. R. Burrow ; £lO from Mrs. Long ridge ; and £7 25., a collection at a harvest-home at Silverton, through the Rev. H. Palmer.

The dis figurement was exceedingly great, and her Royal High ness, moved by motives of compassion, commissioned Mr. Taylor, surgical instrument maker, of St. Giles's, to make an artificial nose. This has been done, Mr. Taylor having ingeniously manipulated a flesh-coloured silver nose for the girl, which requires some amount of attention to dis tinguish it from the more common and natural average of noses.
