Much uncertainty seems to prevail with regard to the immediate prospects of the money market, but there is an idea in many influential quarters that many weeks will not elapse before there is an advance, owing to the negotiations of loans, the progress of Joint-Stock adventure, and the revival of trade likely to be experienced towards the close of the year. No bullion operations of importance took place at the Bank on Saturday, and the export market both for gold and silver is particularly quiet. The success attending the negotiation of the Brazilian loan is likely to lead to immediate shipments to the Government for which it is being raised. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week have been favourable. At Manchester the manufacturers generally are fully employed under contract, and prices of both cloths and yarns are firm. At Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield there has been a seasonable inquiry for winter fabrics ; while at Leicester and Nottingham business generally has continued steady. At Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton rather more activity has prevailed in most departments. The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received the following re port, dated Morro Velho, Aug. 17, 1865 :—Produce for July, 33,117 oitavas; cost for July, £9,865; profit for July, £2,903 ; produce 10 days of August, 9,494 oitavas ; yield, 5.772 oitavas per ton.—W. INGLIS, for the managing director.-8, Tokenhouse yard, Sept. 18, 1865. The half-yearly interest on the bonds of the Venezuela Six per Cent. Loan, 1865, negotiated by the General Credit Finance Company of London, due the Ist proximo, will be paid on and after September 30. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 87c. Firm. The transactions in the market for English secu rities to-day have been extremely moderate. The members of the house complain of the paucity of business, but in many respects there is a more cheerful tone consequent upon the brilliancy of the weather, the improved pro spects of th'l harvest, and the probability of a renewal of speculation at the end of the holiday season now approaching. Consols are 89 for money, and 898 90 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 8811 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. to 2s. prem ; and India 5 per Cents. 1068 -I. Foreign Stocks have been largely dealt in, and several of the principal descriptions show an im provement.

Very little business was transacted in wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. No further change of importanco took place in prices; but as regards old wheat the quotations were 3s. to 4s. per quarter below the late highest point. The demand for spring corn ruled inactive, and the tendency of prices was somewhat in favour of buyers. The flour trade was dull at barely late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is very inactive, and prices are drooping. The spring corn trade also is without animation. At Now York the demand for wheat and flour for export has fallen off. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were, received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 27,289 qrs. of wheat; 5,092 barley ; 21,897 oats ; 35 bens ; 141 peas ;- 13,266 linseed ; 2,632 oilseeds; and 350 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate. A portion of the supply of new produce was received in good condition ; but at the same time there were several indifferent samples on the stands. The trade was devoid of animation ; but as regards good and fine wheats, prices were firm, and last Monday's currency was supported. The more important transactions were ohiefly confined to the best samples of red and white produce, a portion of the supply, owing to its inferior condition, being left unsold at the close of business. The market was well supplied with Russian and Prus sian wheats, but the show of American produce on the stands was limited. Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, and the total amount of business transacted was but moderate. The prices of this day se'ennight, however, were steadily maintained. Wheat, afloat, was in slow request, at the late decline in the quotations. The supply of English barley on sale was small, and varied considerably in quality. With foreign barley the market was but moderately supplied. The barley trade, however, ruled quiet, at about late rates. The demand for malt ruled inactive, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was moderately good. On the whole the trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. The flour trade was quiet, yet prices ruled stationary. Foreign sacks were in moderate supply, but the market was scantily supplied with barrels. Beans were a short supply, yet there was very little in quiry for any description. The quotations were unaltered from Monday last. Peas, although scantily offered, met a slow sale at late rates. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Good and fine wools fully support the rates of last sales, but in ferior qualities exhibit a decline of about id. per lb., as compared with the same period. In English wools about an average business is doing, and prices are decidedly firm. The import of wool into London last week was 3,670 bales from Sydney, 730 Melbourne, 1,012 Adelaide, 2,482 Algoa Bay, 1,141 Port Natal, and 459 bales from the Cape.

Recorder, in charging the grand jury, acid ho re gretted that the calendar contained the names of persons charged with serious offences. There were two charges of murder, one was against the soldier Currie, for shooting Major De Vera at Chatham, and the other against Esther Lock for the murder of her three children at Skin Market place, Bermondsey. They would have the whole of the evidence placed before them in order to ascertain whether there was a prima facie case against each of the prisoners accused, because if so it would be their duty to return true bills against each of the accused, leaving the state of mind of the prisoners at the time the act was com mitted for consideration by the court and jury. There was also a charge of manslaughter against a foreigner named Brenner, for causing the death of another foreigner, a Ger man, Joseph Kuchen, and in this case also they would be called upon to inquire very minutely into the circumstances which led to the quarrel. The learned gentleman then re ferred to the depositions, and detailed the facts under which the quarrel which led to the death of the man arose, and said it would be for them the Grand Jury to say whether the charge in the indictment was made out. Besides the case of manslaughter referred to, there were others of a similar description, and it was much to be regretted that such lamentable loss of life should be of such frequent oc currence as lhad of late unhappily been the case. In the case of the prisoner Riciman, he was charged with killing Sarah Anu Scott, the female with whom he cohabited. It is alleged by the prisoner that when he wont home (4, White's-grounds, Bermondsey), he found the woman beastly drunk, and that, having become enraged, he inflicted blows on her which caused her death. There was an indictment against Charles Gordon Sprague, the surgeon, for a rape on Hannah Hart, a servant of Mr. Jenkins, surgeon, of 22, Philpot-lane, Fenchurci-street, in whose employment the prisoner bad been two days. The grand jury, ho felt cer tain, would be quite able to dispose of the cases submitted to them ; but, in the event of any difficulty, the Court would most willingly render them all the assistance re quired. The grand jury then retired to their room, Advertisement Agents and Public Companies At the last sitting of the Lord Mayor's Court, before the Recorder and a Common Jury, Messrs. Allen and Garbutt, the well-known advertising agents, of King William-street, suod the United Warehouse Company (Limited) to recover 1,320, the balance of an account for advertising the com pany in various newspapers. Mr. Talford Salter (instructed by Mr. Snell, of George. street s Mansion-house) appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Philbrick (instructed by Messrs. Sheppard and Reilly) re presenting the defendant. It appeared that the whole bill for advertising the com pany was £460, out of which £l4O had been paid, and the question in the cause was as to the liability of the defendants to plaintiffs. There was no dispute as to the orders for the advertisements, but an issue was raised as to whether the liability was not personal to one of the gentlemen inter ested in the company. In the course of the case a letter received from the secretary was handed to Mr. arbu and was read by Mr. Rowley, the deputy-registrar of the Court. From this it appeared that the let ter was written upon the company's printed papers, and it requested the plaintiffs to advertise the quotations of the shares, &c., in the newspapers in which plaintiffs were advertising the company's business. Mr. Philbrick admitted that he was quite surprised at the letter, and did not expect the production of such a document. His Lordship had not the slighest doubt that the learned counsel was surprised by the letter, and asked how the case could be defended further. Mr. Philbrick admitted that ho could not proceed, and his lordship directed the jury to find for the plaintiffs for the full amount. Verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount sought to be recovered. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day The market continues strong at ; Id. to id. over ast week. Sales, probably 20,000 bales. The coupons of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, New York division, Second Mortgage Bonds, and of the Pennsylvania division, First Mortgage Bonds, will be paid on the Ist of October, at the rate of 4s. per dollar, at the Consolidated Bank. The directors of the English and Australian Cop per Company have received advices from their manager, dated Adelaide, July 27. The quantity of coal at Kooringa was 1,3961 tons ; at Kapunda 869 tons; and at Port Adelaide Works all the furnaces were out for stock taking and repairs, but would be lighted again about Ist August. At Koo ringa there were three furnaces at work. Since date of last advices about 61 tons of copper had been shipped. PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO CHAUCER.—It is pro posed to purchase by subscription and to preserve, as a memorial of Chaucer, the Talbot Inn, in the Borough High Street. The testimony of admiration thus proposed would be so far imperfect that it would be hard to prove any portion of the structure in question to be so old as the time of Chaucer. DESPERATE ATTEMPT OF MR. GORDON ALLEN, THE BARRISTER, TO COMMIT SUlClDE.—Yesterday after noon a painful sensation was created in the Inner Temple amongst the benchers, owing to a report being raised that Mr. Gordon Allen, barrister-at-law, bad attempted to destroy his life by cutting his throat. The unfortunate gentleman, who, it will be remembered, took a prominent part in the proceedings against Mr. Edwin James, has for some time been noticed to be in a very desponding and unsettled state of mind. He occupied chambers at No. 2, Dr. Johus.m's-buildings, in the Temple, and yesterday afternoon he was found in his office with his throat cut. Medical aid was promptly called in, but such was the languishing state he was in that his instant removal to the hospital was deemed indispensable, and Assistant In spector Harris and Police-constable Henderson removed him to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he at present re mains without the least hope of recovery. THE TORPEDO.—Mr. Donald M'Kay, the well known American shipbuilder, is at present in this country, and is in close communication with the Admiralty on the subject of torpedoes. It is the intention, we understand, of the authorities to entertain seriously the question of having on hand a stock of these destructive missiles, with a view of laying them down, in the event of a war, in the diffe rent channels leading into our harbours, thus leaving our fleet to a great extent free to proceed to sea.—army and Nary Gazette. PERIGORD TRUFFLES.—This precious cryptogam, the nature of which is but little known, though every one is practically acquainted with its singular appearance and peculiar flavour promises an abundant crop this year, after an almost total failure last season. The heavy rains that fell in the month of August after the prolonged heat in France have aided wonderfully in the development and mul tiplication of this root. The truffles already appear at the surface of the ground, and, though still in an embryonic state, begin to emit that peculiar odour for which they are distinguished, and are now rapidly developing themselves, as the tubercle increase in size.—The Grocer. DEATH OF A POLICE OFFICER CHARGED WITH UTTERING BASE COIN.—It will be remembered that Police constable Warren was committed for trial to the Reading Borough Sessions, for passing a Hanoverian token as a sove reign at one of the stalls at Reading races. He was bailed out, but the disgrace hanging upon him so preyed upon his mind that he died on Thursday last.—Berks Chronicle. The Journal de Bruges states that a disease is destroying the chickens of the district in great numbers. One proprietor near the town lost 37 in a few hours. The cattle plague is also raging in the province. TOM MOORE'S BESSIE.—The grave has now closed over the last of a poet's household, says the Athe nzewn. The widow of Moore rests by her husband's side. The voice of song had long been silenced in the little bower of Sloperton, where she who once listened lived on the memories of the old sweet echoes: In future hours, some bard will say Of her who heard and him who sang the lay, They are gone ! They both are gone ! The papers which have announced the death of Mrs. Moore, early last week, have agreed in misstating her age, which they set down at 68. As she married Moore in 1811, this would imply that she was only 14 when she married the bard, who was then in his 33d year! The difference between their ages was by no means so great. Another, and a graver mistake, is the repetition of the malignant as sertion of "the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker," made by him almost before Moore was buried, that the poet was a husband who cared little for his wife ! This assertion gave great pain to Mrs. Moore, and was resented by Lord John Russell. The "Right Hon. John Wilson Croker" only aggra vated his unmanly offence by sneering at Moore's widow as "Lord John's interesting victim." All this malignity was the fruit of well-nursed wrath, which was excited by the fact that 50 years before Moore had omitted to name Mr. Croker in the notes to Anacreon. Setting aside the terrible affliction of the loss of all their children, the home of Tom Moore and Bossy was a happy one, Because his journal only records his fittings abroad, and barely alludes to his home except in notice of some labour there, and thankfulness that he had leisure to perform it—be• cause he sang lightly of Brilliant short pleasure that flashes and dies; men are apt to forget that the poet was a solid scholar, and that his knowledge of patristic literature was more real than his acquaintance with Fanny of Thumol. It has also been said that Moore seldom or never alludes to his wife in his poetry. He was not publicly uxurious, but all his allusions are in exquisite taste, and a hundred passages in his diary are testimonies to the worth of his admirable wife, and to the high estimation in which he held her. " Then come," he says, in his metrical invitation to Lord , Lansdowne to dine at Sloperton,— Then come—if a board so untemptiing hath power To win thee from grandeur, its best shall be thine : And there's one, long the light of the bard's happy bower, Who, smiling, will blend her bright welcome with mine. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—It appears that of the 196 new Members who have been returned to Parliament, the army furnishes 35, while the navy supplies only five. The class of country gentlemen has received an accession of 47 members; while the merchants have added 26 to their numbers, but the manufacturers only fi ve . Three of the new members are bankers, and four are or were brewers. The medical profession has added a mem ber to its strength, while tha lawyers have increased their numbers by 21. A yeoman farmer of celebrity, a distin guished author,' a learned university professor, and a well known Irish newspaper proprietor will make their first appearances in the ensuing Parliament. The railway in terest will be assisted , by a gain of three civil engineers, two railway chairmen, and four Contractors for public works. There are also six members who have been in the diplomatic service of the State. There are no less than 30 gentlemen who previously sat in Parliament, and who, after some years of retirement, have again sought and re ceived the suffrages of "independent electors." The Banffshire Journal notices a roe hunt at Advie :—On Friday last, Mr. Munn, accompanied by a number of tenants in the district, and the party from Tulchan Lodge, had a day's roe-hunting in the Knockfrink plantation. After beating for some time with good success, the party resorted to an.elevated spot on the margin of the wood, where they met with a kind reception from Mr. and Mis. Munn, and found an excellent luncheon spread "among the bonnie blooming heather." Mr. Bass, M.P., in proposing the health of Mr. and Mrs. Mann, expressed a wish, which was heartily concurred in by all present, that they may long be spared, and may often return to visit the Highlands. After ample justice had been done to the luncheon, the party re turned with new vigour to the chase, which they continued till about five in the afternoon, when, on reviewing the work of the day, they found the result to be as follows ;- 7 roe deer, 21 hares, and 2 brace black game, METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of foreign stock cn sale in our own market to-day was very large. Generally speaking, the quality both of beasts and sheep was inferior. The trade was quiet at about last Monday's currency. There were some good Normandy beasts on offer. Fresh up from our grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were very limited. Tho supply from Ireland was but moderate, whilst the receipts from Scotland were con fined to 18 head. There was a great scarcity of prime stock on offer, and the very few choice breeds exhibited for sale changed hands at full prices; otherwise, the beef trade was dull, and the quotations ruled somewhat irre gular. The top price was 5s 4d, but this value was rea lis©d in only a few instances, the bulk of the primes t breeds on offer, which was really of only secondary qua lity, having sold at 5s and 5s 2d per Blbs. ar. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, comprised 1,100 head ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 18 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 200 oxen and heifers. Tho supply of sheep on sale was moderate, but the qua lity of the stock was very middling. Good and prime Downs, half-breds, and Lincolns, moved off freely at ex treme rates ; otherwise, the mutton trade was steady at last Monday's quotations. The top price was 6s 8d per Blbs. Lambs were in request, and the limited supply on offer realised higher . prices. A few choice breeds sold at 8s per Blbs. There was a fair demand for calves, and prices ruled firm. The top price was 5s 6d per 81bs. The pork trade was firm at fully late rates.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF DRESDEN CHINA FIGURES.—TWO young men named Geo. Rutherford, porter, and Geo. Chatham, labourer, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing from outside the shop of Mr. N. W. Jacobson, 311, Oxford street, dealers in works of art, two Dresden china figures. Sergeant Bentley, 13 C, deposed that about half-past five on Saturday afternoon he met the prisoners in Pulte ney-street. Observing they had something under their coats, and suspecting them he asked Rutherford what he had got, when he said it was a figure a man had given him to carry to Bryclges-street, Covent-garden, and on asking the other prisoner what he had he made a similar answer. He then took them iutp custody. A little girl, a daughter of Mr. Jacobson, proved seeing the prisoner take the figures from outside her father's shop on Saturday afternoon. She directly afterwards told her father. Mr. Jacobson, having identified the articles as his property, stated that they were not quite complete, as they would be xorth £lO ; in the present state they were of the value of £5. His daughter had been asked by one of his men to stand at the shop door for a moment, and directly the man left the two prisoners instantly snatched up the figures and made off, Mr. Knox asked if the prisoners were known ? Sergeant Bentley said he believed both of them were ? Mr. Knox said ho felt bound to state that he had himself observed in passing lir. Jacobson's shop, where there w ere a number of p re tt y things exposed, that no one was in charge of them. Mr. Jacobson care of the good s . said he kept a lad for the purp ose o f t a ki ng The prisoners were remanded. A CRUEL ROBBELY. THAMES. —Elizabeth Muirhead, a very in temperate and violent woman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a coat and several articles of female wearing apparel, the property of Mr. 'T eague. The prosecut or and his wife are living at No. 1, Nightingale-lane, Lfmehouse. The prisoner was their next door neighbour. On Thursday afternoon last Mrs. Teague left home and securely locked the front door, but the back door was open, no robbery being contemplated by any one from that quarter. On her return Mrs. Teague discovered that her dwelling had been entered in her absence, and her husband's coat, a shawl, two stuff petticoats, two pair of drawers, a red scarf, and a few chemises had been stolen. The prosecutor and his wife are poor card working people, and the loss of their property was tc them a heavy one. Michael Holton, a police-constable, No. 26 K, was called upon to investi gateentrance had been made from the back of the dwelling and he came to the con c l us i on t h at an ho u the affair, s e.The garden or yard at the back of one house could be easily reached froze the yard of the next. The prisoner took advantage of this facility of access to rob her neigh bours, and raised money on the property she had stolen, which she expended in strong drinks. She pawned the prosecutor's coat at Mr. Matthew's shop, and gave the ticket to a man named Pilcher, who gave it up to Holton. Tho prisoner said she had pawned the re mainder of the stolen property, with the exception of a pie° of canvass, which she sold to a rag dealer. The dupli cates relating to the stolen articles were not forthcoming. The coat was identified. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a very cruel robbery on her neighbours, who were poor and could ill afford the loss. It was a very wicked and unneighbourly act, which deserved severe punishment. He convicted the prisoner of larceny, and sentenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months, WESTMINSTER,, ALLEGED GROSS MIMISCONDUCTOF THE POLICE.—John Lane, a labourer, was charged w ith rescu i ng a prisoner f e r x n e m cu c ti u o a n to o d f y ih a e n ir d duuntlyawfully assaulting the police in the . Mr. Louis Lewis defended the accused, who was in a frightful state from bruises and cuts inflicted, as alleged, by a constable's staff, and was unable to stand, being allowed a seat in the dock. Police-constable Francis Fishley, 112 B, said on Sunday morning at 12 30 he was in Pet er - s t reet. A man w i shed to give another in charge. D e f en d ant assaulted the man, and witness remonstrated with him. A woman then took defendant's part, and struck the constable in the mouth. He took her into custody, and another constable assisted. Defendant tripped that constable up, and dragged him along the ground. The crowd rescued the female from witness, and prisoner assaulted him. H o struc k prisoner across the head withhis trunch eon, an d t h e ot h er con stable s omewhere about th e arms. Th ey t h en caccidentally also hit him took him to the station, where he was very badly con ducted. In cross-examination it was elicited that prisoner was struck several times, and with great force, by this witness and his brother constable. • Police-constable 223 B proved that he was severely , assaulted by prisoner and another man, and other:vise cor roborated last witness. Cross-examined—l bled very much from the assault committed on my head by another man. W. Harris, 125 B, reserve man at the station, said pri soner was violent. He struck. hia breazt and caid he would have a month and give Fishley one when he came out. Believed there were three wounds. It teok only myself to take him to the cells. He was obscene there, and said ho would give Fishley one when he came out. -- Mr. Lewis ably addressed the magistrate, and said he should call witnesses to give a totally different version of this affair. The case was proceeding when our parcel left. Colonel Herbert, M.P., has again been so ill that , an eminent physi c i a n w en t f rom D u b l i n to see him, but he is rapidly recovering. lie has been prayed for in the Eoinan cathQlic cathedral, Killarney.

Notwithstanding the present failure of the Arctic exploration voyage intended to precede a larger ex pedition next year, public attention is still largely occupied with the project. The Hansa avers that the undertaking has found influential support, and publishes a lengthy article containing the sketch of the plan that ought to be pursued in order to obtain success. The most important parts are here ap pended : "We require a sum of from 210,000 to 220,000 thalers for an expedition of two screw steamshirs equipped in the completes t and best manner. We con - sider two screw steamers essential, party for mutual assistance and also to carry on independent researches in different directions, and thus double the results. These ships, however, should not be men of war. In former Arctic expeditions with sailing ves sels the Governments of the countries whence they proceeded have almost invariably given the assistance of ships and crews. We believe we may state that both Austria and Prussia would be ready to do the same for a German Arctic expedition, but in our opinion we should only want the crews. To make any way with steamers in the ice regions it is essential they should be supplied with sufficient coal to enable them to keep up steam continually for eight to ten weeks. But our modern war steamers are unable to do this. Speed is the chief considera tion with them, and they have all therefore compa ratively large engines, which consume an enormous amount of coals. Even by making use of all available space a vessel of this class could at most carry coal sufficient for three weeks' consumption. Now it must be admitted that such a ship as the Prussian corvette Medus, for instance, would still retain her full sail ing power, but we consider that ten times as much can be done with steam power, and that vessels able to steam ahead for four months would effect more than sailing ships in four years. They are not ex posed to the danger of being frozen in, being able to extricate themselves at will, and a steam expedition would therefore be considerably cheaper. For all these reasons we regard wooden screw steamers be longing to the merchant service of from 350 to 400 tons burden, and of at most 80 horse power, best 'suited for Arctic exploration. The consumption of coal by such a ship atfull steam power would at most amount to 8 tons daily. As it is moreover quite un necessary, and would be entirely opposed to the pur poses of the expedition to steam from Hammerfest, where the vessels are to take in coal, at greater speed than half-power—i.e., at a ride of five or six knots an hour, the consumption would be limited to an average of five tons daily ; 250 tons of coal would therefore suffice for 50 days, or 7 weeks' continuous steaming. Reckoning that ea,chvessel onlymakes five knots an hour, a distance of 12,000 nautical miles, or 3,000 geographical miles might be accomplished by both without reeoaling. Should it be found, in ex ploring Spitzbergen, that the coal bed already disco vered there can be used for the expedition, this natu ral depot will suffice for taking in a further supply ; but, on the other hand, care must be taken to deposit a second supply of coals either at Spitzbergen or Gillies Land, by which the vessels would be enabled to steam another 3,000 miles, and thus fully accom- Iplish their tank. The great - risks to which they would be exposed would cause any insurance office to re fuse a policy except at an enormous premium, and it would, therefore, be more judicious to purchase. We propose wooden ships, because, first, if properly strengthened, they offer a much greater resistance than iron vessels to any pressure of ice ; secondly, because wood is known to be one of the worst, iron, on the contrary, like another metals, one of the best conductors of heat; and lastly, because of the im portant magnetic observations, forming one of the main objects of the expedition. The cost of two such vessels, which need not be new, would amount to 120,000 thalers. To this sum must be added, say another 10,000 thalers for strengthening, in which we principally include an iron casing, with 4 inch plates in the neighbourhood of the water line. We should consider a crew of 60 men, inclusive of offi cers and scientific men, as amply sufficient for both vessels. As already observed, it is probable that the navy would very readily furnish volunteers, and in that case wages for two years (which it is quite pos sible the expedition may last), estimated at 34,000 thalers, would not be required. Provision depots to be established at different points, the quantity being sufficient for three years' consumption, would require 22,000 thalers, at the rate of ten silver gro schen per man per diem. Two cargoes of coal, amounting to 1,000 tons, would cost 600 thalers. For other items in equipping the vessels we reckon on 10,000 thalers, and the same sum for unforeseen expenses, amounting in all to 212,000 thalers. A third vessel, to keep open the communication be tween Hammerfest and Spitzbergen, by way of Gil lies Land, would, of course, be of great use, and for this service a first-class Prussian gunboat would be excellently adapted. We do not, how ever, think it absolutely necessary, although we doubt not the Prussian Government would place one at the disposal of the expedition. When the great treasures to be derived by science, and also with respect to our navigation in the polar regions, which are situated so near to us, are taken into consideration, and if it is borne in mind that such an expedition would at once place Germany in a far higherposition with regard to other countries, it is scarcely to be supposed that the necessary su m will not be at once forthcomi ng . From the lively interest with which the proposal of Herr Petermann was immediately taken up by all classes of our countrymen, and which was so plainly manifested in hamburg and Bremen at the recon noitring expedition of Capt. Werner, we may surely hope for the best results. We must not, however, expe ct everyth teinvgetorinbe an d n o , ne we consider eG r Government, and,with Herr it necessary that the German people should also perform its part. It only requires one word. No meetings are necessary, for it already possesses considerable sums. In Frankfort 100,000 fl. of the money sub scribed for the German fleet are still in hand, in addition to 9,000 thalers in Elberfeld, more than 5,000 in Berlin, and a few thousands in Magde burg. These sums were subscribed by the German people in order to increase our naval importance. Can they ever be better applied than in an expedi tion of this description, which will gain us greater renown than a dozen men of war ? The money now lies unemployed and fruitless. Even if it should be handed over to the Prussian Minister of Marine it would not be enough to build even half a corvette. On the other hand, it would cover nearly a moiety of the expenses of a German Arctic expe dition, which, by the probable discovery of produc tive whale fisheries in the seas to the east of Spitz bergen, would yield a profit of millions to the coun try.” SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

A swimming match of novel character came off on Satur day. It was organised by the London Swimming Club, one of the valuable associations formed of late years for the purpose of promoting the acquisition of a most valu able art. Thanks to the exertions of such men as Pew tress, Beckwith, and others, the acquisition of the art of swimming has been reduced to a few easy lessons. Men who can swim their half-dozen miles in the Thames are as plentiful as blackberries. Not long since Walker, a north country swimmer, swam from London-bridge to Greenwich, a distance of five miles 300 yards, in an hour, and very recently we have heard of the astonishing feat of a German swimming across Lake Constance, where it is 12 miles in width. The competitors were to see who could swim the longest as well as the furthest without touching anything, and without taking any stimulant or refreshment, as the aquatic German who traverses Lake Constance does liberally. A. gold medal, value £5, was given as a first prize, with the entrance fees divided for the second and third men. No really well-known Lon don crack swimmer entered, with the exception of the veteran Beckwith, and he did so with the avowed inten tion of only refreshing himself by swimming two or three miles, not with any idea of competing for the prizes. The following were the names of those who contended : Frederick Poole, Chas. Whyte, William Adams, W. Aviss (of Coventry), E. A. P axon , G. J. J arra tt, W. Wood, J. eSlade, A. Chaino, C. Willi ams , E. R ow l e y, R. Cooper, C. Powell, F. Beckwith, and W. Payton. A boat containi ng an u m pi re was told off for each t h ree competitors, to see that the conditions of th e matc h were measure, not infringed, and a l so as a precautionary of any of them being seized by cramp. Towards re' the end in case _ _ of the race, as the number of co mpetitors was diminished by men giving up, a boat accompanie d eac h one. The start t oo k place from Toddington Lock , from boats placed ac ross t h e river in line with the tail of the lock. The men of course were stripped to their slight bathing drawers. All took the water together, about five minutes to 3 o'clock, some diving head first and coming up several yards in their course down stream, others jumping in feet first. The veteran Beckwith and a slight but plucky youngster,named Aviss, soon showed in front, heading the rest of the com petitors, and improving their position for the first half mile e very stroke. Young Aviss, who had come all the way from Coventry to measure his strength against the metro politans, swam in splendid style. After a short time he swam away from Beckwith, who, not putting out his strength, was challenged by Whyte, the next competitor, and fell back into the third place, whioh he retained, swim ming easily u n til E el Pie Island was reiz,hed, 25 minutes after the sta r t, when he gave up. H i s examP lo in this re spect soon began to be followed by others, until the num ber was considerably diminished. At Richmond the order was —Young Aviss, leading near a quarter of a mile ; Whyte coming next, followed by Adams, Powell, Poole, Wood, and Rowley. Between Richmond and Kew Adams and Powell gave in and retired from the contest. The others swam on to Mortlake, when young Aviss's strength gave out, and he was carried ashore to the ship. The race now lay between Whyte, Wood, and Rowley, Poole having given up about the same time a s A v i ss. Wh y t e had a fine lead, and from his being in the habit of bathing all the year round in the Serpentine, and being considered capable of bearing cold, his chance was thought to be ex ceedingly good. Wood, of Huddersfield, though far in the rear, was swimming strongly, and being by far the fattest of the competitors, had a great deal in his favour. Whyte, on the contrary, was exceedingly spare, and there fore likely to suffer soonest from the long immersion. About half a mile on the Middlesex side of Strand-on-the- Green, Wood was seized with cramp, and had to call for assistance, but before it could be rendered he recovered himself, and went on again as gamely as ever. Before reaching the railway bridge at Barnes, Whyte and Wood had the race to themselves ; the former was far a head, but when half a mile on the Hammersmith side of the bridge his powers gave out, and he was got ashore in a fainting condition, after swimming between seven and eight miles, and being in the water three hours and 20 minutes. Wood who was still strong, came gallantly up, and after passing 20 yards beyond where Whyte was being rubbed on the bank, was hailed by the referee as the win ner. Being towed to the shore he had strength enough to walk up unassisted and dress himself. Mr. Hanson, of the Chancery bar, succeeds Mr. Trevor at the Stamp-office. Mr. Charles P.
