POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. •MANSION-lIOUS E. USING ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.—Mary Fletcher, a dissolute looking woman, was charged with using abusive language. Mr. Hurst, landlord of the public-house, 26, Lower Thames-street, said that about 11 o'clock last night the prisoner was outside his door, and used the most offensive and abusive language to a gentleman who was then stayin'g in the house. He remonstrated with her, and sho then commenced abusing him. Finding that AEI would not go away quietly, he gave her into custody. For a consider able time sho had been in tho habit•of coming to his house and using the most insulting language towards him and his customers, and she was a regular nuisance. Police-Constable Shea deposed to having taken the woman into custody, and having used very disgusting language. Sir Robert Carden sentenced the prisoner to seven days hard labour for causing an obstruction in the streets. Henry Hughes, a young man, was charged with ob structing the thoroughfare in Leadenhall-street. Police-constable 0 59 said that about 11 o'cleck this morning he saw the prisoner, who had a basket of walnuts on his head, looking in at a picture•shop. Having the basket it caused an obstruction on the pavement, and ho desired him to move on, which ho refused to do. He the took him by the arm and pushed him but without unnecessary force into the road, upon which the prisoner abused him in the coarsest manner, and ho took him into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and flippantly inquired of the magistrate whether he had not a right to look into a picture shop if he liked. Sir It. Carden—Certainly not, with a basket on your head, and I shall fine you five shillings, or send you, in default of payment, to prison for seven days. BOW-STREET. A gentlemanly-looking young man, who gave the name of George Andrews, but whose real name it is said is Geo. Farlance, was charged with obtaining goods by false pre tences from Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, outfitters, Strand. Mr. John Wm. Amoney, assistant to Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, stated that a few days back the prisoner called at the shop and ordered a quantity of goods of witness, saying that he was an officer in the sth Fusiliers, and was about to sail in about a week. He ordered goods to the amount of about £4O, saying he would call again by the time they were got ready. He gave his address " George Andrews, sth Fusilier Guards, Somerset Hotel, Strand." He took away with him some gloves, handkerchiefs, &c., and desired that the other articles, to the value of £4 3s. 9d. should be sent to the hotel. This was done. A few days later he called and obtained other goods, to the value of £1 ss. fid. Upon a third call he obtained some other articles. Yesterday he called again, and gave a fur ther order. Witness then said he had referred to the Army List, and could not find the name of Andrews as an officer of the sth Fusiliers. The prisoner said he was appointed but not yet gaaetted. Witness said he should like to have the money for the goods already supplied. The prisoner said if witness would call upon him at the Tavistock Hotel the next morning he would give him a cheque for the amount, £ll some odd shillings. Witness replied, " I would rather go with you now." He went with the prisoner to the Tavistock Hotel, where the prisoner, after speaking to one of the waiters, said to witness, "I have not got the money. lam hard up for cash, but I will give you a check." He then wrote an order upon the " London and County Bank, Albert Gate Branch," . for the amount. Witness said he could not take that as payment; but would go with him to the bank. They then got into the cab, and ordered the cabman to drive to Albert-gate. On the way he stopped at a cafe in Windmill-street, and several other places, on the pretext of asking friends to lend him the money, in each case making some attempt to get away by another door, or in some way to evade witness's com- Witness, however, kept close to him, and now told him that he believed the paper was worthless, as the prisoner would have gone on to the Bank at once. Tho prisoner admitted that it was worthless, as the account was overdrawn. He said he expected £5O from his mother. Witness then brought him back to the shop, whore Mr. Cerro], the chief clerk, saw the prisoner and told him that the firm was convinced that he was attempting to swindle them, and that he had never been in the Fusiliers at all. The prisoner took up the paper from the table, said it was of no use, tore it up, and threw the pieces in the fireplace. He, however, per sisted that his name was Andrews, and that ho was an officer in the Fusiliers. He was given in custody at the Station, and he admitted that this was not true, but that he had been in business in Cheapside and had failed. He was remanded for further inquiry. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE I r tilllFG VAGABOND.— James Bowen, 20, apprentice to Mr. Thos. Henry Hartley, marble factor, of 7, Earl-street, Westminster, was charged with leaving his work and absconding since Juno last. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Hartley, who carries on extensive businesses, at home and abroad, .has great number of apprentices from unions, whom he teaches the various branches of the trade, and when they, lave been with him a few years, and have' learned what the* , consider sufficient to enable them to get a living elsewhere, they absconded from his employ. The prisoner, who is 20 years old, was apprenticed in August, 1860, and has to serve seven years. In Juno last ho absconded with others. His sister said ho was ill, and ho accepted the excuse ; but hearing that he was at work elsewhere a warrant was obtained, and he was appre hended by Emanuel Davis, 234 B. Prisoner said he was ill three weeks, and then did not return because he had only 12s. a week at Mr. Hartley's, and earned 18s. a week elsewhere. Mr. Hartley said his agreement was for 125., but he had 15s. a week to encourage him. Prisoner's mother said ho did not earn sufficient at Mr. Hartley's to keep himself. Mr. Arnold said if others deserted ho was old enough to set a good example, and must be made an example of. His agreement said 12s. a week, and he had 15s. to encourage him, but was not content with that. When his time es - pired next August Mr. Hartley would be able to require him to serve 14 weeks longer (the time he has left). He was then sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OMNIBUS THIEF-CAUTION TO LADIES. Eliza Wood, a well-dressed female, who gave the ad dress No. 174, New Kent-road, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt was charged with stealing, from the dross-pocket of Mrs. Ann Hem, the wife of a coffee-house keeper, at No. 8, Sloe ne-square, a purse, containing money, while in a Victoria omnibus. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner. Mrs. Hem said that on the previous afternoon she got into a " Victoria " omnibus in Grosvenor-place, and sat next to the prisoner, who was on her right hand. When at the bottom of Park-lane she felt her purse safe in her pocket. The omnibus stoppad at the top of the lane, and the prisoner got out. Directly after she had done so, she (prosecutrix) noticed that some of her keys, which were in the same pocket as her purse, were at the bottom of the omnibus. She went after the prisoner, and saw her standing inside the park looking after the omni bus. She want up to the prisoner and said, " I have lost my purse," and the prisoner said she had not got it, and hoped she did not accuse her of stealing it, and talked a great deal about her respectability. She told the prisoner that she should give her into custody on suspicion of steal ing her purse, and a gentlemen went for a constable, and she then gave the prisoner in charge, and subsequently the purse was found in the possession of the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the prosecutrix said that her pocket had been cut. The female searcher proved finding the prosecutrix's purse in the prisoner's umbrella, and the prisoner offered her £lO not to say anything about it. Mr. Lewis said he could offer no defence for the prisoner after hearing the evidence. She was the wile of a respect nuto luau, ana /ma no doubt yielded to temptation when she took the prosecutrix's purse. She would plead guilty to the charge if his worship would deal with the case. Mr. Tyrwhitt consented to deal with the case, and com mitted the prisoner for 3 months with hard labour. A CHINESE PORTRAIT.—.I-.10 is a limber-limbed young fellow, very thin, with very long slender fingers the which, with patient deftness, he knows well how to use.• His complexion is of uniform pale saffron, of the texture of parchment, and he is perfectly beardless. Ho has very long lustrous black hair falling over his shoulders. In the centre of his countenance, which, in its yellow, smoothness, does not ill resemble a boiled batter pudding, show, like currants in the said pudding, a pair of little 'sharp black eyes. His forehead is very low, his cheek bones very high, and about his lips there lingers con tinually a scarcely definable yct ineffable simper of com placent beatitude, due, perhaps, to an inward consciousness of merit, or to opium, or to sheer innate imbecility. Where have you seen that parchment face, those eyes, that up turned calmly conceited smirk beLfre ? On a tea-tray ? On a tea-chest ? On a fan ? On a rice-paper view of the Porcelain Pagoda at Nankin ? To whom, in fine, should those features and that expansion belong but to a brother of the sun and moon, a native of the flowery land, a deni zen of the Celestial empire ? They appertain, indeed, here to a Chinese coolie.—Dickens's " All the Year Round." ' THE IRISH LEGAL APPOINTMENTS. —We under stand that the Government •have at length come to a decision about the legal arrangements, and that the Attorney General, Mr. John Edward Walshe, will become Master of the Rolls. Ho will be succeeded by Mr. Morris, and the solicitorship will be accepted by Mr. Sterne Ball Miller, M.P. The retirement of Judge Hayes is said also to have been arranged, and a seat on the common law bench has thus been provided for Mr. John George, M.P., who, rumour has it, refused the offer of the Rolls. —Free man's Journal. PROPOSED INVITATION OF MR. GLADSTONE TO BELFAST.—The Northern Whig of yesterday says that the financial reformers of Ulster are about inviting Mr. Gladstone to a banquet in Belfast, in consideration of his great financial services, The Flower Show at the Industrial Exhibition. A very interesting feature has just been added to the Working Men's Industrial Exhibition at the Agricultural Hall, Islington—viz.: a working man's flower-show; and when the lateness of the season and the uncongenial state of the weather is taken into consideration, the greatest lover of flowers could not wish ,to see a greater variety of well grown plants even at the Horticultural Gardens. The " show" is very tastefully arranged in the lec ture-hall, and the splendid and unusual appearance it presents attracts general attention and commenda tion. Although the competition for prizes was solely confined to working men, a large number of very splendid specimens of exotic plants have been contributed by the great nurserymen surrounding the metropolis, to " back up" the amateur display, and such a proceeding entitles them to especial praise. The plants are arranged in the usual form adopted at such display, and embrace fine specimens of roses, dahlias, fuschias, balsams, geraniums, &c. Amongst the principal objects that attract the audience is a splendid collection of coniferm lent by Mr. Gordon, and certainly a more unique display we have never seen. Then the gorgeous contribution of !gladioli, ferneries, and ornamental boxes for window gardening, all filled with the most lovely plants by the Messrs. Carter, of Holborn, present a very striking feature, and elicits universal admira tion. Mr. Puig, the ornamental rock-worker, of St. John's-wood, sends two elegant designs in orna mental rock -work for out-door ferneries —one in imitation of ruins, and the other cragged rock, with natural dried ferns, both of which are most cleverly executed. The amateurs who have succeeded in taking prizes are---For roses : Mr. Murray, of Ley ton, and Mr. Mathews, of Lea-bridge ; for fuschias, Mr. Gray, of Islington, and Mr. Green, of Green wich ; for geranitimg, Mr. Mathews and Mr. Gray ; for balsan4S; . :Mr. Green ; for foliage plants, Mr. Long and Mr. Trushell, of Stoke Newington ; for dahlias, Mr. Mathews ; for exotic ferns, Mr. Young ; for hardy ferns, Mr. Trushell ; for asters, Mr. Mathews and Mr. Rose ; for cacti, Mr. Cappus ; for fruit and vegetables, Mr. Young; for grapes, Mr. George ; for table decoration, Mr. Hester ; for bolia nets, Mr. Russell and Mr. Bent ; and for de signs for flower gardens, Mr. Powell and Mr. Murray. All the specimens sent in competition are worthy the highest praise, especially as many of them have been produced under the deadening effect of London smoke. The show has been produced entirely through the praiseworthy exertions of Mr. Broome, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Green, seconded, as they have been, by the contributions sent by the following nurserymen, viz., Mr. Henderson, of Pine Apple-place ; Messrs. Downie and Laird ; Mr. Burley, Mr. Williams, Mr. Legge, Messrs. Cater of Holborn, Mr. Preston, and Messrs. Barr and Sugden. The display will remain open till Friday, until which time it will assuredly attract thousands to the Agricultural Hall. Metropolitan and Provincial Working Men's Exhibition. This Exhibition, which is attracting vast crowds of visitors to the Great Metropolitan Hall, Isling ton, has been now open for three weeks, and, judging from the numbers who have already attended it, is likely to be even a greater success than that of 1864, held in the same place and under the same manage ment. The arrangement of the numerous objects of display, which was far from complete on the day of inauguration, has been carried out with great care and excellent effect, even the articles which arrived after the opening day obtaining eli gible places in the tasteful distribution. Some of these latter are of rare merit, so that those who at tended on the earlier days of the Exhibition will be fully repaid by a second visit. During the first week 42,000 persons paid for admission, during the second 54,000, and during the third 53,000 ; making a total of something more than 150,000 visitors during three weeks. These numbers, how ever, are not to be taken as a criterion of the pro bable success of the undertaking, for the promoters of it expect that when many who are now from home come back to town that the returns will show a great increase, especially in the number of day visitors, who have to pay more than those who attend in the evenings, and to whom the manage ment looks for success in a pecuniary sense. But even with a weekly attendance of about 50,000 there is no doubt that there would be a consider abla surplus after paying all expenses. After the Exhibition of 1864 alluded to above the surplus then in the hands of the treasurer was forwarded to the Society of Arts, and the interest of that sum is now given in prize money to the exhibitor in art workmanship from the northern district who may prove successful in competition held annually. This year, however, whatever remains in the hands of the committee after all expenses have been paid will be added to the prize money already voted, so that there is every reason to hope that the number of awards will be more than usually large, and their value more than usually substantial. During this week there will be a great variety of entertainments. On Wednesday there will be a musical reunion of the children of the Bail of Hope schools, which is expected to be of a varied and interesting cha racter. The Emperor and Empress of the French at Biarritz. Tho Emperor, almost immediately on his arrival at Biar ritz, took a walk on the terrace overhanging the sea, ac companied by the Prince Imperial and General Fleury. At night the whole tewn was illuminated ; and about nine o'clock his Majesty and the Empress walked for some time in the midst of the crowd, and were everywhere received with the greatest cordiality and respect. The day after the Emperor paid a visit to the works in progress for form ing a port of refuge. A letter from Biarritz gives some details of the Empress's excursion to the grotto of Sore : "Her Majesty, the Prince Imperial, and a suite of about 30 persons, arrived at Sara at one o'clock. The journey was made in breaks d rawn by horses from the imperial stables. The travellers alighted at the house of M. Michel Dihursubohere, where they stopped about two hours, wait ing till the woad:ter, which had become rainy, should clear up, as they intended to go on, after seeing the grotto of Sare, to that of Z ugarramurdy, in Spain. The Empress, Prince, and many of the suite mounted on horseback, while most of the ladies and General Fleury's children took their places in pack-saddles on the backs of mules, thus reviving that ancient mode of travelling formerly so well known in the Pyrenees, and now almost forgotten. Nothing could bo more curious than this caravan, which was guided by a troop of young men of the neighbourhood, who, by their height and the elasticity of their frames, as well as their bold, free bearing, brought to mind that proud nation of Cantabrians from whom they are descended. The party, furnished with torches, went through the grotto of Bare, and afterwards visited that of Zugarramurdy, which is open at both ends, and in which flows a large rivulet, which all the party forded. Here the travellers requested the guides to sing some of thei r country songs, in stantlyand a number of fine voices ar ouse d t h e ec h oes o f th e s pot. . The Empress and the Pri nce I mperial, on t h eir re turn, again rested at the house of M.Dih ursu b e h ere, sa we ll known to the imperial court und er th e s i mp l e name o f M. Michel. Tho imperial party arri ve d at the Vill a E ugenie at about 10 at night." The Empress, three days back, visited the hospital of Saint Loon, at Tosse, near Biarritz. her Majesty was ac companied by M. d'Auribean, Prefect of the Department, and remained about an hour conversing with the superior and committee of management on subjects connected with the institution. Another letter from Biarritz states that Count de Bis marck has engaged for the end of the present month an apartment in one of the principal hotels of that watering place. Lady Emily Toler and Miss Howard have ar ived at Farrance's Hotel from Littlehampton. A sad affliction has fallen on tho family of the great surgeon, M. Ndlaton. M. do Basneville, whose mar riage contract with M. Ndlaton's daughter was signed last January by the Emperor, was standing in his farm-yard giving orders to his steward, behind a cart to which three horses were harnessed. M. de Basneville happened to be leaning against a wall when the horses suddenly backed. M. de Basneville instantly stooped and tried to got under the body of the cart. In the attempt, his head was caught and literally crushed by one of the huge back wheels with such frightful violence that part of the brain and hair were found adhering to the wheel. M. do Basneville had just entered his thirtieth year, and leaves his young wife enciente. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Return) In the week that ended on Saturday, Sept. 23, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,256 the deaths registered, 3,003. The annual rate of mor tality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,057 boys and 976 girls, in all 2,033 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, corrected for increase of popula tion, was 1,950. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,350. It was the 38th week of the year, mid the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,20 G. The deaths in the present return exceed the estimated number by 144. This number is exceeded by the deaths in the week from cholera. The deaths returned in the four last weeks from cholera were 198, 157, 182, and 150 ; from diarrhea in the same periods 128, 132, 110, and 98. The deaths from cholera are less by 32 than the deaths from that disease in the previous week. Of deaths registered last week from cholera and diarrhea, 14 persons died from cholera and 11 from diarrhcea in the West districts, 28 from cholera and 19 from diar rhoea, in the North districts, 19 from cholera and 17 from diarrhcea in the Central districts, 56 from cholera and 24 from diarrhea in the East districts, and 33 from cholera and 27 from diarrhcea in the South districts. Fifty-three young persons under 20 years of age died from cholera and 81 from diarrhea, at the age of 20 and upwards 97 deaths occurred from cholera and 17 from diarrhoea. Woolwich, unlike the other parts of the metropo lis, had no medical health 'officer at the time of the outbreak of cholera ; but the Board of Works, on the appearance of the first case of cholera in Lon don, appointed a committee, who made the two union officers health officers for the time being, and took other active steps to combat the threatening epidemic. In the case of Brewer-place, where six deaths from cholera occurred, it is admitted that there was some delay in the application of proper measures. Four deaths from cholera occurred last week in Woolwich, and ten in Deptford. The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 per 1,000 in London, 19 iu Edinburgh, 27 in Dublin, 18 in Bristol, 18 in Birmingham, 52 in Liverpool, 30 in Manchester, 29 in Salford, 21 in Sheffield, 26 in Leeds, 21 in Hull, 35 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 22 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 43 per 1,000 during the week ending the 15th inst., when the mean temperature was 1.4 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.564 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29.94 in. on Tuesday to 29.04 in. on Saturday. The mean tem perature of the air in the week was 53.7 deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 66.9 deg. on Wednesday. The lowest night temperature was 42.4 deg. on Tuesday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 24.5 deg. The mean of the highest tem peratures of the water of the Thames was 57.7 deg. ; that of the lowest was 56.8 deg. The difference be tween the mean dew-point temperature and air tem perature was 5.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. Rain fell on five days in the week to the amount of 0.88 in., one-half of which was measured on Saturday. The general direction of the wind was south-west. The mist was observed on five days of the week. THE CHOLERA. A retrospect of things done in connexion with the epidemic that is now gradually passing away should suggest useful inferences as to the conduct of the future, and so secure to all classes the benefits of prevention on a very extended scale. The vast amount of good that has been derived during the last three months from a system of house-to house visitation in most districts of the metropolis is too palpable to need comment or argument in its fa vour. None can tell to what extent the epidemic has been checked by this means, but it is an incontes tible fact that, if we have cured little, we have pre vented much cholera. There are, however, few, if any, districts that show so many outward signs of good effected from strict inspection as that com prised in our owngreat water-way. During the past two months, the Thames, from London-liridge to Woolwich (including the Regent's and City canals) has been taken in hand by the Seamen's Hospital - Society, and a ship-to-ship visitation has been and is still going on between these points. Above 400 vessels are so visited daily, and medicines are given in all cases of diarrhoea. It is difficult to calculate precisely the number of individuals brought under medical supervision, but the above numberof vessels represents at least 1,800 persons of both sexes and all ages. In the epidemics of 1849 and 1854 respec tively 250 cases of cholera were received by the Dreadnought authorities. During the present epi demic but 73 cases have been entered on the books of the Belleisle hospital ship, and three only have come from those parts of the river visited by the staff of the Seamen's Hospital Society. Other de tails might be given with reference to this salutary work, but a sufficiency is here to indicate a large and definite amount of preventive aid afforded. In thus, however, Ehowing what has been recently effected, we wish to show at the same time how emphatically this success indicates a dire want, and exhibits a glaring sanitary defect, in the governance of our own port of London. The disposition of arrange ments by the Board of Health enjoins that the me dical officer in each district is to be deemed respon sible for the supervision of that portion of the river flowing through such district, and to inspect all floating habitations moored thereon. But such an arrangement is utterly impossible of performance when an epidemic is raging, and at ordinary times it is no ill compliment to district medical offi cers to say that such a duty is entirely foreign to their general scheme of work. The Thames is ruled by a Conservancy Board, and no interference with the administrative management of that great highway for commerce is permitted to the authorities of the parishes through which it flows. This body have harbour-masters with their subor dinates, a body of police, and an inspector of nuis ances. The exertions of the last named individual are confined to the duty of preventing the Thames from being used as a convenient dustbin by its floating denizens, and his work has no reference whatever (except, perhaps, in a negative sense) to the sanitary condition of the shipping. The Con servators are, as a body, rightly endowed by the Legislature with great powers, having charge of most important commercial interests. In due sup port of those interests it is right they should possess and use the power to appoint a medical staff of their own. The parishes around the river would so be relieved of a charge in which they can have no possible interest, the Thames Conservancy would have the advice of a responsible sanitary officer, and we are justified in affirming, with the above results before us, that such an arrangement would largely influence for good the port and its vast floating po pulation. Few landsmen can form any kind of idea as to the unhealthy state in which that population normally exists. Let them look well and they Will learn much. The Conservators of the Thames should be, as far as in them lies, also conservators of the he a l t h o f it s p eop l e , an d c an now, with good case, apply for powers to have their own district under their own medical governance. Among our many sanitary sins of omission few at present are more patent than the non-existence of a medical officer of health for the port of London. The following is the official return of deaths in London from cholera and diarrhoea registered on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 23 and 24: Cholera.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET RACES-TUESDAY. The inauguration of the first of the autumnal meetings at head-quarters suggests the near approach of the closing of the racing campaign. The "First October," in addition to the interesting and attractive sport, is doubly important on account of the transactions which take place upon the great back-end handicaps, the Cesarewitch and Cambridge shire. The special and other trains on Monday were re markably, heavy, while the arrival of horses from the various training quarters was also very largo. During Monday even ing "the Raoms" were almost deserted, and no attempt was made to speculate by the few members who dropped in dur ing the evening. There appeared every probability of a change in the late unsettled and disagreeable weather, the night being, remarkably bright and clear, and the meeting was ushered in by a fine autumnal morning ; the sun shone brilliantly throughout the afternoon. The programme for the opening day being a somewhat formid able one, required an easy commencement, and at a quar ter to one eight of the ten animals entered for the Trial Stakes next to the post. The "talent" were fortunate in their selection of Opoponax, who was freely backed at 7 to 4, and, pulling over her opponents, she won in a canter by two lengths. The principal race of the day was the Great Eastern Handicap, appointed to be run at 2.35. Consider able excitement was manifested when the numbers were hoisted on the telegraph-board minus that of Master Richard, who had been the favourite for a few days back and largely backed by the public. 16 of the 37 competitors entered went to the post, and of these Il Re Galantuomo was made favourite and supported for considerable sums of money at 3to 1. The English -bred representative of the French stable, about whom 9 to 1 was obtainable, made play throughout, and won cleverly by a neck from Out and-Outer, who was mcst resolutely ridden by Custance. The Hopeful Stakes fell to the flying sister of Lord Lyon, who won easily from her two opponents. The Grand Duke'Michael Stakes produced a field of four runners, and considerable interest was taken in the result, inasmuch as Lord Lyon was conceding Knight of the Crescent twelve pounds. Lord Lyon's supporters, however, backed him for a good deal of money, although The Knight was fancied by a strong party, and supported for a good round sum at sto 4 against. Tho St. Leger winner, on being called upon by Custance, gamely answered, and won easily by six lengths from The Knight.

The third series of the London colonial wool sales has been closed, and in accordance with general expectation opened with an advance upon the clos ing rates of June last. During the six weeks of their course a tendency to further improvement has been manifested. It is scarcely to be expected that the manufacturing districts will be as well employed as in the first four months of the year ; and inactivity of trade there largely decreases the consumption. A deficient harvest tells heavily upon the demand for clothing materials; aud, by all accounts from the corn-growing districts, an unsatisfactory result is to be feared. But for this circumstance the pro spects for wool must be considered good, and they are likely to remain so so long as the consumption of the article follows as closely in the wake of the supply as it does at present. ELECTRICITY.—An Austrian chemist, M. Leinel broek, has discovered a way of enclosing electricity in small glass capsules which will explode under the in fluence of the slightest shock. The capsule is enclosed in a steel cone, so that, if shot from a rifle, it will enter the flesh, and the explosion which follows is sufficient to kill a man. Experiments have been made on oxen and horses with perfect success, these horses having fallen down as if struck with lightning. Even the slightest injury inflicted by this means is said to have caused death. We do not warrant the truth of this statement; but, admitting it to be correct, we fail to see the advantage of the invention, since in war the chief object to be aimed at is fortunately not killing, but disabling tho enemy. 111.11RIS EDITION.

Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very scarce, but, on the whole, in fair average condition. Very few buyers were in attendance. Never theless, the trade for all qualities ruled firm, and Monday's improvement was maintained. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rate. All descriptions supported the late advance, with a firm inquiry. Floating cargoes of wheat were in steady request at 'full quotations. For other kinds of produce afloat there was a good demand at about previous currencies. The market was again scantily supplied with both home and foreign barley. Fine malting parcels changed hands at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts wore dis posed of at quite late rates. Malt ruled firm on former terms. Oats, the show of which was moderate, moved off freely at the recent improvement in prices. Beans were in steady request at Monday's advance, and peas were held on former terms. The flour trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 690 610 620 = 8 Irish Foreign 9,230 980 -10,850 380 sks. bls. BOROliCill 1101'.

Gustavo Neu meyer's new gunpowder. These experiments took place in the presence of M. de Sebach, the Saxon Minister ; de Querlaa,de, an officer attached to the Austrian Embassy; Gan. Beuret, Director of the Gunpowder and Saltpetre Establishment ; M. de Puymory, Director of the Gun powder Manuf,:ctory of Lo Bouchet, and other competent persons. M. Neumeyer was, accompanied by D r. Klein, a young German advocate, who has un ills The t P r e ° x P p e l l o l d Y in ° g f t d h e i t s t a k n e e n w t o o propagate r the co n i s n i v s e t s n ti in a n unless subjected to a strung pressure. Its ingre dients are the same as those of the common sort, but - the proportions are probably different, a circumstance which, of course, is the invent Or's secret. M. Neumeyer makes four kinds of gunpowder, viz , one for ordnance, another for muskets, a third for fowling-pieces, and a fourth for mining purposes. The three first are granulated, but the fourth is a very fine powder. A certain quantity of the other sorts was set lire to iu the open air; it burnt away with a fizzing noise like that of sulphuric acid dropped on a brick ;it emitted a smell of sulphur. Eleven kilogrammes of the compound were introduced into three small wooden b arre l s, w hi c h were then carr i e d ivith , their bungholes left open into a small house built and roofed with tiles.
