The nineteenth half-yearly general meeting of the Scinde Railway (Indus Steam Flotilla, Pun jaub, and Delhi Railways) Company will be held on Friday, the 29th September. The Union Bank of Ireland opened a branch to day, under the management of Mr. Wm. Mac fadin, at Abbeyleix, Queen's County. The accounts from the manufacturing districts have generally been satisfactory. At Manchester a rather large business has been done in shipping yarns at an advance of id. per lb., while for cloths there has been an improved demand, owing to the small ness of stocks in the hands of manufacturers. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been seasonably active, while at Leicester and Nottingham a moderate amount of business has been reported in lace and hosiery goods. At Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance. ['heir SHARE MARKETS—This da: ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share/ Railways.

Two days back the police found the corpses of three young girls who had terminated their existence with charcoal in one of the old houses of that street. It appeared that the family to which they belonged had a monomania for suicide ; that the father, in consequence of commercial misfortunes,had thrown himself from the top of the Tour St. Jacques; that the son had enlisted as a soldier, and then blown out his brains; lastly, that Eugenie, one of the three girls, had made seve ral attempts to commit suicide, and had been confined at Charenton. It was only a fortnight ago that her mother, thinking her entirely cured, withdrew her from that asylum and took her home. Eugenie, being left alone with her two sisters, took the opportunity of converting them to hor own ideas of life and death ; the consequence of which was that they went out, bought charcoal, and then re-entered their room. The mother on return ing home found her three daughters dead, in a kneel pvaure, and all attired in their bet, droi4is. 0 I 94 16 CO 134 135 5 6 [1 63 (5 El 16 17 110 112 47 48 7i 8) 13 , 132 )0 1 15').} 151 .0 1 126 129 86 46 67 G 7 63 65 45 47 90 45 'O5 107 194 120 10 188 . 90 1(3 105 )0 3 i 40 /0 12t :24 )0 £o} 97 )0 57 b 8 11 135/ 1311 7 3 Si p, 10 1281 128/, )0 98 100 59 61 zS .6 101 116 674 (13 tO3 IU3?

MARKETS—This Day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. - BOW-STREET. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CIIILD.—Goorgo Kettley, cab man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Flowers, charged with causing the death of a child named William Lacey, aged four years, by driving his cab over him. Joseph Jackson, 14, Middlesex-street, Somers-town, said about a quarter past five on Sunday evening he was stand ing at the top of Bow- street, near Long-acre, and while there he saw a hansom cab coming from Endell-street, and going towards the Strand. Just at this moment a child darted into the road, and before the cabman could pull up the horse knocked the child down, and the cab wheel passed over its head. Police-constable 168 F said he was on duty in Long acre last night about half-past five, and when near Mr. Merryweather's, the fire-engine manufacturing establish ment, he saw the cab driven by the prisoner coming along. It was not going at more than three miles an hour. It had just got into Bow-street, and when he looked round again he saw the wheel of the cab pass over the child's head. The prisoner stopped directly he could, but not before the child was knocked down. He took the child to the station, but it was quite dead. Robert Saunders said he came up just as the accident had occurred. He saw the witness Jackson pick up the child. The child was given to him, and he ran with it to the doctor's in Long-acre, but he was not at home, and ho then went for Dr. Harvey, and ho also was absent, but in about five-and-twenty minutes ho arrived at the station. The child was then dead. Lacy, the father of the child, residing at 14, Broad court, said he was assured by all those who had seen the sad occurrence that it was purely an accident, and there fore he could say nothing in the matter. The child had not been out of his home but a few minutes. He bad but just ran out for a few minutes while his tea got cool. He had a few friends with him to celebrate his birthday, and the shocking accident that had occurred had given a most melancholy termination to the evening. Mr. Flowers said it was a very sad accident, but there did not appear to be any blame attaching to the prisoner. There would, of course, bo an inquiry into the matter by the coroner, and therefore he could not discharge him, but he should order him to enter into his own recognisances to appear that day week. DISTURBANCE IN THE STRAND. —Mary Macdonald was charged with creating a disturbance and obstructing the footway in the Strand. Police-constable F 149 said the prisoner was in the Strand near the Charing-cross Railway station selling fruit. He told her to go away, but she turned round and used a dreadful expression, and then he attempted to take her into custody, but she resisted violently. Ho was compelled to use force to take her to the station. The prisoner said the constable had used her most shamefully, and she had witnesses to prove it. Mr. Carter, of the Strand, said he was sitting in his room last evening when he heard loud screams, and on looking out of the window ho saw the constable using the woman in a very brutal manner. Ho saw the policeman throw the prisoner violently down in such a manner that com pelled him to cry "shame." He went to the station to state what he had seen, when he was refused admittance. The constable shut the wicket of the station-house door in his face very rudely when ho asked to be allowed to enter. One of the inspectors, however, came up and reproved the officer for not allowing the witnesses to go into the charge room and give their evidence. Mr. Morris said he resided at York Buildings. Last evening he saw the prisoner, with a few pears in her hand, in the Strand. He perceived the prisoner speak to the woman, but the next thing he saw was tho constable throw the woman down. She got up, and ho seized her a second time, threw her down, and fell upon hor. He heard the woman say she would go quietly if her arms were not held so tightly. Tho constable let her get up, but it ap peared to him that a groat deal of unnecessary violence was used. Edward Welch said he saw the commencement of the disturbance. The woman was on one side of the way and he on the other. She had some pears in her hand, and the constable told her to go away, but she turned round and said something, and the constable then pushed her and she fell down on her basket. When she got up the constable then took hold of her and threw her violently on the ground. The screams at this time would be those that brought Mr. Carter to the window. The constable took hold of her by her arm the last time, and thrust her very violently in the doorway of 443, Strand. The woman appeared quite sober. Roubach Martin said he resided in the Strand, and last evening he was walking near the Charing-oross station. He saw the police-constable tell a number of persons who sell fruit in the street to go away. The prisoner refused to go, and the constable then pushed her and she fell down and went in her basket. Ho did not see the constable throw her down a second time, but as she got up he kept hold of her by the arm. The prisoner used very bad lan guage to the constable, who, according to his view of the matter, was very patient. Inspector Brennan said it was an inexperienced constable at the wicket. Immediately he came up he gave directions. for all the witnesses to be admitted. Mr. Carter said nothing could be more gentlemanly than the conduct of the inspector. He could not, however, but think that the behaviour of the constable in taking the woman into custody was inhuman and violent ; at least, all that he had seen bore that aspect. He certainly did not see the beginning of the matter ; but it quite made my blood boil to see the policeman use the woman so cruelly. Mr. Flowers said he should discharge the woman, and reflect a little on the evidence that had been given. The constable might have exceeded his duty, but he could not say that until ho had carefully gone through the evidence. Inspector Brennan said the constable 149 F was a very well behaved and attentive man. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANCE.—Guiseppo Marsalina, an Italian organ player, was charged before Mr. Arnold with playing his organ to the annoyance of Dr. Jelin Ash burner, physician, of 7, Hyde -park-place, and refusing to g o away when directed to do so. Dr. Ashburner said that on Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, his family having all retired, he heard a loud bar rel organ playing near his house. He wont to the window to see whether ho could stop it, but, as he could not, he called up his servant, and sent him to tell the man playing the organ (the prisoner) to go away. The prisoner then crossed from one side of the street to the other, and con tinued playing. The nuisance had occurred so often that he had resolved, the first time he had an opportunity, to give the prisoner into custody. John Winn, servant to Dr. Ashburner, proved being sent by his master to tell the prisoner to go away. The prisoner then crossed to the other side of the street, nearer to Dr. Ashburner's house. Mr. Arnold asked the witness whether the prisoner un derstood what he said. Tho witness said he not only spoke to the prisoner, but motioned him away with his hand. Mr. Arnold asked the witness whether he told the pri soner to go away a second time, and the witness admitted that ho did not, nor did he point to the house the inhabit ants of which he was annoying. The prisoner, through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said he did not understand what the servant said to him, but he afterwards showed that he did. Mr. Arnold said, in the first place, it was a most unrea sonable time to be playing an instrument in the streets, and in the second place the prisoner was bound to go away when ordered by a housekeeper. If he came to this country he must obey the laws. The prisoner must pay 55., or be imprisoned for four days. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A young w oman, name d Sarah Ann Bromley, servan t to a lady residing at No. 5, Somer set-street, POrtman-square, was charged before Mr. Arnold with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself into the Serpentine. A young man named Dempsey, a tailor, said that on Saturday night he was crossing Hyde-park about 10 o'clock, when he saw an object in the Serpentine which ho at first thought was a Newfoundland dog, but after wards found to be the accused.no went into the water and . succeeded in getting her out, she being at the time unconscious. She was taken to the Receiving-house of the Royal Humane Society, and afterwards to Mount-street Workhouse. Tho mistress of the accused stepped forward, and, in answer to Mr. Arnold, said that the only cause she could assign for the young woman's conduct was that she bad been slightly reprimanded and told to go to bed for some thing which had occurred while they were out of town. Mr. Arnold said ho should remand the young woman for a week He thought at the same time there must be some other cause. The mistress of the young woman asked that She might be allowed to take her home, but Mr. Arnold refused' the requeiA, stating that alto I.

WESTMINSTER. STONE THROWING NUISANCE—NARROW ESCAPE.—Peter Jones, a boy 14 years of age, was brought up on a warrant charged with wilful damage. Augustus Hobainn, a Germain, who spoke very bad English, said that on the 13th of August he was sitting at about eight in the evening in his parlour, at 1, Causton Cottages, Regent-street, Westminster, when suddenly a stone was thrown through the window, which struck him on the side of the head and made a great swelling. Com plainant's wife had been sitting with an infant seven weeks old in her arms in the same place as complainant but a minute previously, and had the stone struck the child it might have killed it. Mrs. Clara Kirk, a neighbour, said she saw the stone de liberately thrown through the window by the defendant, who then ran away. Defendant—There was a lot of us as heaved stones. Mr. Selfe—That makes it so much the worse. Mrs. kirk—He was alone down by the wall when he deliberately threw the stone. I am sure I owe him no ani mosity. Boys will be boys I know when they are all together. Mr. SeHe—And when they are not, too, I suppose. What made you do this ? Defendant—We were a having to break the windows. Mr. Selfe—Why ? Defendant—We were having a game with Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Selfe—You will have to have a game with me. What is this about Mr. Kennedy ; does any ono know ? Policeman—He is the landlord of the property. He is a little queer in the head. Mr. Selfe— And his lodgers will soon be the same if stones are thrown about in this way. Poticeman—This boy has been here before for felony, and gives a great deal of trouble. People frequently com plain of him. Mr. Selfe—This conduct on your part, boy, is mischie vous, wanton, and most dangerous. Had the woman and child been in the chair, you might have killed the baby. If brought here again I shall put you away for three years to a reformatory. Defendant was committed for 14 days in default of a fine and costs. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very quiet. Old produce changed hands at full prices ; but the quotations for new wheats were very irregular. Scarcely any alteration took place in the value of spring corn, and the trade for most descriptions ruled firm. The flour trade was steady, at late rates. Our accounts at hand from America, this week, are much more favourable, and it is anticipated that a large quantity of wheat will be secured, for the most part, in excellent condition. The trade, however, at latest' date, was firm, at higher prices, but with a limited export demand. On the Continent the wheat trade is rather quiet. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports from abroad consisted of 17,219 quarters of wheat, 2,171 barley, 30,628 oats, 2,000 beans, 166 peas, 3,983 maize, 150 sundry seeds, 85 sacks, and 6,101 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of home grown wheat were moderate, and were comprised almost entirely of new produce, which came to hand in very middling condition. The trade was much quieter than on Monday last. Even good and fine samples of old wheat sold heavily, and prices declined to the extent of is to 2s per quarter as compared with this day se'nnight. New wheats wore extremely difficult of sale, and the quotations were very irregular. At the close of business a total clear ance of the supply had not been effected. Floating cargoes: of wheat were in slow request, and prices had a drooping tendency. Spring corn, however, ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. The demand for most qualities ruled inactive, at late rates. The malt trade was firm, at fully last Monday's currency. There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The trade for all qualities was very inactive. The amount of business transacted was limited, and prices were somewhat lower than on Monday last. A cargo of wheat came to hand from Alexandria last week. The market was moderately supplied with oats. For most qualities there was a good demand, and prices were about 6d per quarter higher than on Monday last. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at full currencies. Peas changed hands at fully late rates. The marke was scantily supplied. Iu flour about an average business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

There was a considerable falling off in the supply of foreign beasts exhibited on sale here to-day. The show of sheep, however, was good, and the quality, on the whole, tolerably firmer. The trade was steady at full prices. Fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were limited. The receipts from Ireland were moderate. The general quality of the stock was very middling, and all good and prime breeds changed hands at full prices, whilst inferior stock met a somewhat inactive sale at last Monday's currency. The general top quotation was 5s 4d, the extreme 5s 6d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,500 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of England, GOO of various breeds ; from Scotland, 67 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 250 oxen and heifers. The total supply of sheep on sale was moderate, and the quality, generally speaking, was tolerably good. For most breeds there was a steady demand, and last Monday's cur rency was well supported. The general top figure was 6s 8d per 81bs ; but really first-class Downs sold as high as 7s per 81bs. About 3,000 sheep were in the pens. The lamb season must now be considered over; but the few choice breeds on sale realised 7s per 81bs. Calves were in very moderate supply, and the trade ruled steady at full prices. The top quotation was 5s 4d per 81bs. For pigs there was a fair demand at quite previous rates.

BOROUGH HOP. Picking is making rapid progress, and the accounts at hand respecting the yield are most satisfactory. The qua lity of the produce is exceedingly good. The trade, con sequently, is dull, with a downward tendency in prices. Kent produce is selling at £4 lOs to £6 ; and Sussex at £4 4s to .Z 5 5s per cwt. Old hops command but little attention. There was no import into London last week. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Moderate supplies of potatoes are on sale, the trade for which is dull, at lower prices. Prices range from 50s to 90s per ton. The arrivals aro almost entirely confined to home-grown produce. WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool continue to be well attended by home buyers, and the demand for most de scriptions of wool for home consumption is tolerably ex tensive. The export inquiry, however, is still of very mo derate extent. As regards all good and fine wools, prices aro decidedly firm ; but faulty descriptions are rather ower than at the close of last series. In English wool, by private contract, an incroabed amount of bu4ieb4 Inu been THAMES. JEALOUSY IN HUMBLE LIFE...A little African, with strongly marked features of the negro type, who gave th e pugnacious name of Peter Crawley, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and making a disturbance in Devonshire-street, St. George-in-the-East. Donald M'Kay, a police-constable, No. 275 K, said h was called to a disturbance in Devonshire-street at one o'clock this morning, and saw the pris oner, who was rav ing loudly and offering to fight every one near him. The prisoner also called upon the people at No. 35 to come out and he would kill them all. Ile endeavoured to quiet the prisoner, but could not ; and after a scene of wild strug gling and rolling upon the ground he was obliged to take him into custody. The prisoner had nothing on but hi s trowsers. The house, No. 35, was a scene of great con_ fusion. The windows were broken and furniture de stroyed. A woman was severely beaten by the prisoner and had two black oyes. She had made an appointment with the prisoner, who went to the house at midnight, and on entering the room ho found her in bed in the arms of another black man—(laughter)—which so enraged him that he attacked both, half killed his sable rival, and dragged the couple out of bed. The clothes hanging up on lines to dry were torn down, the chairs and tables smashed, and a general wreck made of the contents of the room. Mr. Paget—He was jealous of the other black mau ? _ _ _ M'Kay—He was, sir; he was raving mad, and said he would kill the woman and the ugly black nigger who was with her. (Loud laughter.) The prisoner, in a few words of broken English, said he came home in the ship Norma yesterday, and he knew the woman who played him false three years ago. Mr. Paget —That is a long time. You must not make these disturbances and beat the woman for preferring the attraction of the other black man. The Prisoner—l will kill her. Mr. Paget—No; you must not touch her. I shall coin. mit you to prison for seven days. The Prisoner—Then I shall lose my clothes, my money, everything. Mr. Paget—No ; the police will look after your clothes ; your ship will be paid off to-morrow (Tuesday), and your wages will be found at the shipping office. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 2. Joseph Cummins, the brave fellow who so nearly lost his life in resisting the attempts of an Irish- American rowdy to murder and rob him on the Finglas road on Tuesday night, lies still in hospital in a precarious state. As the man is very poor and has a large family depending on his daily labour, subscriptions are being actively collected, and already upwards of £5O have been subscribed for their support. It is believed that had it not been for the interference of the injured man's son, who furiously attacked the highwayman with a whip handle, Cummins must have been killed, as the ruffian was able to fire one shot at the son, which happily missed him. An examination of the wounds has been made by Mr. Fleming, which was attended with satisfactory results. The wound in the eye was examined with a porcelain probe, on Nelaton's principle, and the fact of the bullet being lodged in the skull, close to the brain, ascertained beyond a doubt. This probe was invented by the celebrated French surgeon Nelaton, and first suc cessfully applied in the discovery of the bullet in the ancle of Garibaldi. It consists simply of a rough point of porcelain. If the wound contain a lodgment of lead, contact with it will impart a black mark to the porcelain ; if the body lodged be iron, the mark will be of a red colour. The Nelaton probe was exten sively used in the American war. Mr. Fleming made his examination in the presence of Professor Houghton, M.D., Dr. Butcher, and other gentle men, together with the surgical class of the hospital. What he used was not a specially constructed appliance, but merely a few inches of slender por celain, which had formed part of an ornament. The brain of the sufferer has not been injured by the shot. He is at present going on well, and there is every hope of saving his life. The Evening Freeman says :—" We are happy to state that the operation of extracting the bullet from the eye of poor Cummins was carried out this morn ing, at the Richmond Hospital, with partial suc cess. Surgeon Fleming undertook the operation, at which Surgeon Gordon and other medical gentlemen were present. After the surgeon had probed the wound, he ascertained that the bullet had flattened, and that it had broken into two or three pieces. It struck, it appears, against the wall of the orbit, and was thus prevented from reaching the brain. Surgeon Fleming succeeded in extricating about half of the bullet, and he hopes to find the remaining portion to-morrow morning. No attempt has yet been made to extract the bullet from the thigh, the wound in that region not yet being in a condition to be operated on." The highwayman, O'Flynn, is in rather a dan gerous state in prison, the punishment he received on the head threatening to produce erysipelas. He has been identified by Mr. Taylor, of the Dunsink Observatory, as having attempted to plunder him on the same evening at Finglas. The prisoner fired at him, and Mr. Taylor had a narrow escape, as there is a bullet-hole in the tail of his coat. Capt. Knollys, author of " Misses and Matri mony," has a new novel in the press.

PRINCE ALBERT'S PETS.—Prince Albert" was in tensely fond of animals, and especially of birds. Few gardens have been so densely peopled by the feathered songsters as those attached to the palace at Pimlico, for it was a place of privilege to them ; not a nest was ever knowingly disturbed, and it was the constant aim of the Royal father to teach his children to show tenderness to helpless creatures. The Princes and Princesses had each their little garden ; nests were often watched --not to ter rify the parent birds, but to guard them from accidental disturbance, so that every family of fledglings had from the moment of their birth a guarded home on sacred ground. On one occasion one of the children found in the garden a blind sparrow. This member of a great pugilistic com munity h s ad had its eyes scratched out in a fight, and when found was quite helpless. The child was much concerned about its fate, and secured the good services of Mrs. Wyness, the gardener's wife, begging of her to nurse it while the family were away at Osborne. On their return to Pimlico, the child, who had never forgotten the blind sparrow, hastened to inquire of Mrs. Wyness respecting it, and was deeply grieved to hear that it had died in spite of themost careful tending.—Hibberd's Gardener's Magazine. 47 2 I I 101 :39i 1241 2 1371 9 1271 I 2; 18 4 1104 51i Sli 1031 41 ITIES. The New Steamship Allemannia. This noble specimen of marine architecture, just built for the Hamburg and American Steampacket Company, left the Southampton Docks on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, with a party of about 100 ladies and gentlemen on board, and proceeded to Spithead, for the purpose of testing her speed and the working of her machinery before being placed on the line between Hamburg, Southampton, and New York. The Allemannia was built by Messrs. C. A. Day and Co., of the Northern Ironworks, at Southampton, from the designs of Mr. Macormac, their nautical constructor, and engined at the same establishment. She has accommodation for 60 first and 160 second class passengers, and 600 emigrants, while stowage capacity is provided for 1,000 tons of cargo and 900 tons of coal. The length of the ves sel between perpendiculars is 313 ft. ; breadth, 40ft. 3in. ; depth from base line to spar deck, 35ft. 10in. ; I tonnage, builders' measurement, 2,484 ; engines, 400 horse-power nominal, fitted with four boilers, superheating apparatus, and all the most recent improvements applicable to marine engines. During the run on Saturday the engines made 62 revolutions per minute, with 251 b. pressure of steam, and vacuum 27iu. The chief saloon is fitted up in the most elegant style, and the arrangements of the sleeping berths and other parts of the vessel are com plete in every respect. The spar deck is flush fore and aft, the hull has a straight stem and round stern, and the vessel is brig rigged. On leaving Southampton the Allemannia steamed direct to Spit head, and passed down the line of the English fleet there at anchor. After running through Spithead the Allemannia steamed out towards the Nab Light, and then returned and proceeded to the westward, nearly to the Needles, finally reaching the docks about 7 o'clock in the evening. A very high rate of speed was sustained throughout the trip, and the performances of the ship gave great satisfaction to all on board. During the afternoon the company partook of a d6efiner in the magnificent saloon, where a few toasts were drunk, and the builders of the Allemannia were warmly complimented on hav ing produced so noble a vessel, creditable alike to the firm of Messrs. Day and Co. and to the port of Southampton. The command of the Allemannia is intrusted to Capt. H. N. Trautmann, and she is in tended to leave Southampton, on her first outward voyage to New York, on the 20th inst. A new screw steamer named the Surat, of 2,596 tons and 500- horse power, and 14ft. longer than the Allemannia, is rapidly approaching completion for the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Messrs. Day's yard a Northam Place-Hunters and Pensions. (From Fraser's Magazine.) The late Bishop of Durham (Villiers) was the victim of an accidental and seemingly insignificant circumstance. The appointment of the son-in-law, whose sole disqualifi cation was the relationship, would probably have passed unchallenged, had he not rejoiced in the attractive name of Cheese. The value of a bishop's daughter in the matri monial market is as high as if no such misadventure had occurred. Masterships in Chancery are no longer con ferred from private or political motives, because they aro no longer conferred at all. When Jekyll, at past eighty, proposed to resign upon a pension, on the plea that he was no longer fit for the duties of the office, Lord Eldon com forted him with the remark that he was quite as fit as ever —which was the truth. The little law Jekyll ever knew was common law, and he accepted his mastership in the same spirit in which Colonel Hanger answered Pitt, when told that the place he wanted was not a sinecure. "Give it me, and leave me alone to make it one." The unabashed profligacy of place-hunters, and the enormous gains of statesmen prior to the present century, may afford com fort to modern economists and financial reformers; and we may begin with the patriots of the Revolution. "At this time (1688)," says Lord Macaulay, "Montague's wishes pointed to the Church. At a later period, when he _ . was a peer with twelve thousand a-year, when his villa on the Thames was regarded as the most delightful of all suburban retreats, when ho was ready to revel in Tokay, from the Imperial cellar, and in soups made out of birds nests brought from the Indian Ocean, and costing three guineas a-piece, his enemies were fond of reminding him that there had been a time when he had eked out by his wits an income of barely fifty pounds, when he had been happy with a trencher of matton chops and a flagon of ale from the college buttery, and when a tithe pig was the rarest luxury for which he dared to hope." if Montague came honestly by his twelve thousand a year, he must have saved it out of his official emoluments. Speaking of the last days of Queen Anne, Lord Stanhope says that "service of the country was then a service of vast emolument " Ho computes the yearly income of the Duke of Marlborough (e x elusive of Blenheim and Parliamentary grants, &c.) at £54,825, and the Duchess's offices and pensions at £9,500. Lord Dartmouth, in a note to Burnet, computes their joint salaries at £90,000. Sir Robert Walpole, who lived sumptuously and laid out enormous sums in buildings and pictures, more than quadrupled his hereditary estate, be sides providing for his sons by patent places of the aggre gate value of £14,000 a year. Fox, the first Lord Hol land, could not have made less than half a Million out of the perquisites of office. With the exception of Lord Melville, the two or three last generations of British statesmen have been free from the suspicion of peculation and venality, although neither Pitt nor Fox was remark able for extreme delicacy in contracting pecuniary obliga tions. When the secession of the Duke of Portland, with a large section of the Whig party, towards the commence ment of the French Revolution, deprived Fox of all im mediate chance of office, he stooped to accept an annuity of £1,500 by way of compensation. When Pitt's debts had grown more than ordinarily embarrassing he allowed £12,000 to be raised by way of loan amongst his friends and supporters, some of whom (like Rose) were trading on him as a main source of preferment. There is still a startling amount of laxity where the public purse is concerned ; and few people see any harm in giving a consul ship or minor governorship to a ruined spendthrift, or a commissionership to a relative without any imaginable qualification. No one complained of Mr. Disraeli for pro viding handsomely for a brother at one of the Boards at Somerset House, nor even for awarding himself a pension of £2,000 a-year, for barely two years' service, under circumstances which laid this latest act of his official life peculiarly open to comment. It is the capricious nature of public opinion, tolerant by habits, but intolerant by fits, that operates as a snare to high functionaries ; and the moral to be drawn from Lord Westbury's fall is, that there is no true safety except in the strictest absence from ne potism and the steady uncompromising adherence to prin ciple.

On Friday the remains of the late Mr. Justice Haliburton, the well-known author of " Sam Slick," were conveyed from Gordon House, the residence of the deceased, to Isleworth churchyard, for interment. The funer a l, which was conducted M a private and unostentatious man ner, took place at noon, the corpse being followed to the grave by the friends of the late Mr. Haliburton. The latter were taken in four mourning coaches to the place of burial. The Rev. S. R. Anderson, 8.A., read the service for the dead. Most of the houses in Isleworth were wholly or partially closed, in which place Mr. Haliburton was greatly extremely quiet respec t e d and esteemed. As abov e s t a t e d , the funeral there (according being to scarcely h ihis o wn a dozen wis wish) was people an on the ground one, d n addi tion to the mourners. FREE SUNDAY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yester terday about 15,000 persons, shareholders, share holders' friends, and the members of the Crystal Palace share clubs and their friends were admitted to the palace and grounds by f ree ti c k e t s . The bulk of the company belonged to th e m iddl e c l ass . The weather was magnifi cent, and all present seemed thoroughly to enjoy the privi lege. During the afternoon a selection of sacred music Was performed on the grand organ by Mr. Coward, and a short address was delivered by Mr. Baxter Langley in ex planation of the principles of the National Sunday League, under whose auspices the arrangements were carried out. It was announced that shortly a free Sunday would be given to the letter-carriers of the metropolis. A SCOTCH FARMER OF THE OLD SCHOOL—Mr. M'lan, senior, was a man past eighty, but fresh and hale for his years. His figure was slight and wiry, his face a fresh pink, his hair like snow. Age, though it had bowed him somewhat, had not been able to steal the fire from his eye, nor the vigour from his limbs. He entered the army at an early age ; carried colours in Ireland before the century came in ; was with Moore at Corunna ; followed Wellington through the Peninsular battles; was with the 42d at Quatre Bras, and hurt when the brazen cuirassiers came charging through the tall rye grass ; and, finally, stood at Waterloo in a square that crumbled before the artillery and cavalry charges of Napoleon—crumbled, but never flinched ! . . . Wlan was an isleman of the old school ; penetrated through every drop of his blood with pride of birth, and with a sense of honour which was like a good conscienee.—Alexander Smith's Summer in Skye. LARGE TAKE OF MACKEREL.--The last spring tide in St. Bride's Bay, Pembrokeshire, brought immense shoals of mackerel close to the shore, and the fishermen succeeded in capturing tons of the fish with their nets. Large takes were also made at Neyland, Milford, and all around the Pembrokeshire coast. It is eight years since such large shoals of mackerel were captured on the coast befor SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.

A meeting of the bondholders was held at the London Tavern this day to consider their altered position in refe rence to their 7 per cent. cotton loan, arising from the fact that the Government of the United States was now the executive of the Confederate States, and to appoint a com mittee to take such other steps as should be deemed ad visable for the protection of their interests : Admiral Sir Probyn Wallis was moved to the chair. Mr. CIIAMBERLAIN said that he was instrumental in call ing the meeting, but he was not in a position at present to place before the meeting any facts as to the rights of the bondholder; which was a question for the committee to decide. The question they had to consider was whether the bonds were worth the paper on which they were wrttten, and the prices ehey had given. He considered that the questions involved were of most grave and important character. (Hear, hear.) They had to as certain whether the Confederate States were not liable to to the payment of the bond; notwithstanding political evnts, inasmuch as it was a qnestion as to whether they ha forfeited tdeir national rights by rebellion. It was also a question whether the Federal Government was not bound to indemnify the claims of the bondholders, having seized the property of the Confederate States. After some further observations, he cited the deci sion of Vice-Chancellor Wood in a recent case in which the learned judge ruled that the United States had not a lien upon some cotton which they had seized. He stated also that an eminent Q.C. was prepared to tell the bondholders that the Confederate States property was liable to the bondholder; or that the Federal Govern ment should pay their claims. After some discussion a committee of three was ap pointed, with power to add to their number. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting adjourned until the 18th October. THE CHOLERA. The Courrier of Marseilles gives the following account of the mortality there :—" On the 28th ult. 60 deaths were registered, of which 16 were from cholera. On the 29th, 50 deaths were registered by one o'clock, of which 32 were from cholera-8 of them in hospitals, and 24 in private dwellings. The number of deaths from cholera at 'Marseilles during the five weeks which have elapsed since its first ap pearance on the 23d July are :-Ist week, 20; 2d, 45 ; 3d, 49 ; 4th, 108 ; sth, 107—total, 389." The latest Italian cholera bulletin is as follows : —Ancona, 29th ult., 17 cases and 17 deaths ; San Severn, 28th, 137 cases and 62 deaths ; San Nicandro, 27th, 6 cases and as many deaths ; Apricena, San Marco in Lamis, and Torre Maggiore, 2 new cases and 3 deaths in all ; Osimo (near An cona), 28th, 3 cases and 1 death ; on the 29th none ; Manduria (Terra d'Otranta), 27th, 80 cases and 31 deaths. The Odessa Gazette announces that there have been five cases of cholera at Galatz, of which two terminated fatally ; five cases of cholera had also occurred on board three vessels which had arrived at Odessa from Constantinople. General Kotzebue has issued an order that all vessels coming from the Principalities, Constantinople, and the Turkish ports of the Black sea, shall un dergo ten days' quarantine. Moreover, the Go vernor-General, after consulting with the authorities and physicians of the city, has ordered that all vessels coming from foreign ports shall be stopped near Langeron (three miles from the city), where a guard shall be placed to watch them. The quarantine of the town is quite closed, and there is no communi cation with it. A committee has been formed at Odessa to deliberate upon the measures to be taken to stop the cholera, and diminish its effects in case it should appear in the town. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

A NEGRO WEDDING.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Hilton Head on 1 A l ly 15, says:—" Some of our party, who remained last night at Beaufort, have been giving amusing accounts of a negro wedding. It seems that the good superintendent's remark—if he had only known we were coming he would have had two or th ree we ddi ngs for us—was no idle boast. young Scarcely , volunteers e ta,fora Sunday passes imagine theirmonthly pay a pretty good assewithou t a marriage, and the who family, are especially given to matri monial ventures. Many of the Sea Island er s, w hil e i n slavery, came well up to the description of Brigham Young, whom Artemus Ward pronounced " the most marriedman" he ever saw. But polygamy is a practice not permitted by the beneficent government to the poor negroes now—only white people, and they in distant localities, can be indulged in so dangerous a luxury—and herewith arises one of General Saxton's chief embarrassments. It would often happen that in the course of being transferred from one plantation to another, a negro would have successively three or four, or even half-a-dozen wives. Now that he is restricted to one, which should it be ? Moralists and theorists would answer ' the first.' General Saxton, with the instinct of a sound political economist, says ' the one that has the most children.' As for the rest, they must hunt up other husbands, The negroes really seem to appreciate the dignity and solemnity of the marriage institution ; and they have a great anxiety to enter its bonds fashionably. At the Beau fort wedding last night the bride wore a calico dress, whose colours were as glowing as her own was swarthy ; her hands were covered with white cotton gloves.; and for her head, neck, and shoulders, a true history will be for ever at a loss to tell how they were clad, for over her head was cast in flowing folds of portentous thickness a gauzy sheet, supposed to represent a white veil. It shrouded the fea tures in unnatural pallor ; it suggested no hint of neck, and but the remotest suspicion of shoulders ; and it was only gathered into terminal folds somewhere in the region of what should have been the waist. From beneath this effectual concealment, the bride made haste to give her responses. The poor girl had been cheated out of her marriage a week before, by some unexpected order to the regiment which claimed the services of her soldier-intended, and she was determined to have " de ting trou with dis time." When the minister asked if he would have this woman to be his wife, she hastily exclaimed, " Oh yes, massa, I'll be his wife ;" and when the irrevocable words were said, the huge veil disappeared with wondrous rapi dity before the ardour of the kiss. But they got, on their marriage certificate, the signatures of a couple of witnesses which the highest born in the land would be proud to possess. A tragical incident occurred recently before the Tribunal of Leibnitz, in Germany. A young woman had summoned the son of a miller of the neighbourhood named Rupp before the justices to compel him to assist her in sup porting a child she had by him, and when in presence of the court the young man first spat in the face of his former mistress, and then drew a pistol from his pocket and dis charged it at her. The female saw his movement, and by throwing herself aside received the ball only in her arm. Rupp was then arre sted, and ex p ressed his having succeeded in his attem p ted crime. He also regredtecaltarneodt that before coming to the Tribunal he bad drunk largely to obtain sufficient nerve for the act. ~..-+ a r has Em- , and I, the when the Park, ouisa shire, grace Lan- >n in arde, a tho town d to pass- )cl at cton and park- aine ?hire, I the s, re— Iter- nley Acby h is Bass, nsolf y by . title 11 be hout LOIVII Sven ;My now The ated the is e , the :ET etty -oho field, flay , J ord Jora - t rod are Sir 50139 tin; 101 i 121 l 4 104 92i 101 i iooi loot
