The public sales of tea have continued without any ma terial change as regards prices, while coffee in some instances has been a shade cheaper. Rice has been dull, but in the Tallow Market there has been con siderable excitement, and prices have shown an upward movement for both present and forward delivery. Two o'CLocK.

George Horton was a slave, too fond of tippling for his own welfare, but a great favourite with both male and female members of the community. It is said that many a fair beauty has now in her possession loving rhymes which George has written at the instigation of sighing lovers. The students were pleased with and en couraged his manifestations of poetical genius, but his dis sipated habits caused him now and then to be very sum marily ejected from society. A HEAVY hISURANCE CLAIM.—By the death of the Earl of Strathmore the insurance companies have tx meet a claim amounting to nearly X 200,000.

THE BOIMBRY AT THE CHARING-CROSS HOTEL—The three men, Hodgin, Manshott, and George, charged with rolbery at the Charing-cross Hotel, were to-day placed before Mr. Vaughan, on remand. It will be recollected that the two prisoners, Manshott and Hodgin, wore found near the rooms 87 and 88 in the hotel by one of the chambermaids named Mitchell, and she feeling they had no right there, called the porter to ques tion them. On seeing them he at once went to Sergeant Toby, the constable attached to the establishment, when the prisoners ran away. Toby, however, succeeded in capturing Hodgin, and as they were going to the sta tion the prisoner struck him with a jemmy which he had concealed in his coat pccket. Previous to the alarm Toby had drawn the attention of Sergeant Monkton to the three prisoners, whom he had seen in company together underneath the front portico of the Charing-cross Railway terminus, near the hotel entrance. George was appre hended a few days after by Inspector West from the infor mation by Sergeant Toby, and the officer afterwards identified him at the police station as the third man he had already spoken of. Sergeant Monkton said he went into the 87 and 88 after the prisoners Hodgin and Manshott had been locked up, and found one of the drawers of.;:t cheffonior had been forced open. Mr. Poore, the gentleman who occupied the apartment said, when he left the room in the early part of the day the drawers was quite perfect, but when he tried to open it, on his pointing out the marks, he could not do so. Inspector West said he examined the marks on the drawer and door, referred to by Sergeant Monkton, he found they corresponded with the jemmy taken from Hodgin's pocket. He went to the House of Detention on Saturday, the 30th, and while there he saw George waiting outside. The prisoner went into the public-house at the corner. As soon as George saw him he and another man ran out of the house, but they were pursued by himself and Inspector Silverton, the latter of whom secured him on Clerkenwell-green, and he was afterwards put in a cab and taken to the station-house. He asked what he was taken into custody for, and he (witness) told him it was for being concerned in a hotel robbery. He said, " You make a mistake," but he (witness) told him the names of the two other prisoners. He said he could not deny that he knew them, and as he had known llanshott for a long time he was persuaded to visit him at the House of Detention. Witness told him he was going to take him to Bow-street, and if he was found not to be the person he would be let go. He gave a false address at the station. He was identified by Toby as the man he saw in company with the other two prisoners at 12 o'clock. Mr. Vaughan asked whether there was any further evidence to connect George with the robbery than that already adduced ? 1 Inspector West said there was not. Mr. Vaughan was of opinion that the evidence was very insufficient. Although the man might bear a bad characto the - evidence only went to the length of saying that he was in company with the two men at twelve o'clock and nothing more. The robbery took place about two o'clock, and he was not about the station or hotel at the time. He should therefore order him to be discharged. George accordingly loft the dock, and the charge of robbery was then proceeded with against the two remain lug prisoners. Mr. George Poore said he was a merchant, and at the time of the robbery he was stopping at the Charing-cross Hotel. The property stolen from the drawer, consisting of two Austrian 'coins, belonged to him. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Vaughan, after giving the usual caution, asked the prisoners what they had to say in answer to the charge. The solicitor who appeared for them asked the magistrate to deal with the matter instead of sending the parties for trial. Mr. Vaughan replied that he intended to commit ilodgins on two charges. Ono for felony, and the other for resist ing and assaulting the officer who took him into custody. Application was then made to admit Manshott to bail, his legal advisers saying he could get substantial bail. Mr. Vaughan inquired if there was anything known about the prisoner ? Inspector West said they were two old thieves, and both ticket-of-leave men. Mr. Vaughan immediately committed both for trial, and not another word was said about bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE.—Henry Harper, a lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct. Mr. Byrne, a bootmaker, Marshall-street, Golden-square, said that he felt it his duty to proceed against the prisoner for the sake of the public, and with the view of assisting the police in checking a most disgraceful nuisance. On the previous night he saw about 20 lads and girls collected in Marshall-street, who were pelting every one who passed with bags of flour. The prisoner, who was very active, threw a bag of flour at a female, smothering her from head to foot, and just as he was receiving another bag of flour from a lad he (Mr. Byrne) seized him and took him towards the station, when meeting a constable he handed him over to him. On the former night the prisoner and his com panions had stretched a cord across the street for the pur pose of throwing persons down, and they were in the habit of jumping on the backs of persons, the police not being able to take any of the offenders into custody, owing to lads being placed to give the signal when the police were coming. Mr. William Brown, of 14, West-street, proved seeing a number of lads and girls pelting one another, and every one who passed, with flour. At the time Mr. Byrne seized the prisoner he had a bag of flour in his hand, and another bag was found upon him. A constable said he found a bag of flour and a piece of cord on the prisoner, the cord being used for tripping up persons. The prisoner said he did not throw any flour, and the cord was given to him. Mr. Byrne said the nuisance had been going on for some ime. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was evident the prisoner had plenty of what was called " cheek." He should commit him for 21 days with hard labour, and he wished some of the others had been brought before him. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT SIR JOHN HARRINGTON'S.—CharIes James Loates, a youth of 16, was charged before Mr. Self() with stealing articles of wearing apparel and other property from the mansion of Sir John Harrington, 58, Eaton-place. Angelina Churcher, housemaid at Sir John's, proved that prisoner had been in the service as a sort of super numerary, but slept in the house. Her master was out of town. Having suspected prisoner of dishonesty several times, and having missed but very lately a half-sovereign from a place where prisoner alone could have had access, she discharged him soon after. Soon after he was gone it was ascertained that several handkerchiefs, scarfs, and stockings belonging to Sir John had been stolen, and prisoner was watched. Books and boots, besides other property, were afterwards missed, and information having been given to the police he was apprehended. Sergeant Brooker, 26 B, proved that prisoner went into service at 12, Eaton-place West, after he left Sir John's service. He had not been there long before he suddenly decamped, and a X 5 note was missing. He left a carpet bag behind, on searching which stockings, boots, handker chiefs, and other property belonging to Sir John Harring ton were found. The housemaid said prisoner had stolen things before. Sergeant Brooker asked for a remand, in order to make inquiries respecting the .£5 note. Prisoner was accordingly remanded. THAMES. AN AMATEUR THIEF-TAKER.—Three boys, named Wil liam Spurt, Joseph Blackett, and Reuben Smith were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a piece of bacon, weighing 511b5., and valued at 4s. 6d., from the shop of Mr. Joseph /lure, of No. 16, Langley-place, Commercial-road East. H.M.'s India Store D e part m ent, an d d we lli ng at No. 18, George Plowman, a respectable young man, Old Nelson-street, Stepney, stated that he saw the priso ners on Monday night. They were looking in at the shops, employed in and he watched them some time. He did not see them take anything, and the hour growing late he went home. Last night he saw the prisoners again. They were walking up and down the Commercial-road, near Mr. Mure's shop, and occasionally looked in. Two of them were on the look-out while Spurt put his hand over the cheesemonger's shop board, took a piece of bacon, and put it under his coat. The prisoner ran away, but had not proceeded more than a dozen yards before he seized him and took him back with the bacon to Mr. Mure and de tained him. He said to the prisoner " There wore two more with you," to which he replied, "No, there was not." On the way to the station-house ho saw the prisoners Smith and Blackett following Spurt, who was in the custody of a police constable. He seized ono of the prisoners and the prosecutor captured the other. Smith said, "You will soon have to let ma go." . At the station-house Spurt said the other prlsoners told him to take the bacon. Mr. Partridge said the witness had behaved well, and deserved the thanks of the public. Robert Payne, a police-constable, No. 198 K, said that while ho was taking Spurt to the station-house he said, " I should not have taken the bacon if it had not been for the other two prisoners." All the prisoners had been con victed before, and were most incorrigible and audacious young thieves. Mr. Partridge said he should require evidence of the for mor convictions, and when and where they took place. The witness Plowman had acted perfectly correct and legal. Any man or woman could act as a police-constable and take a thief into custody if they saw a felony com mitted. He should remand the prisoners for a week, and at the next hearing should expect full proof of the former convictions. SOUTHWARK. ITSFOUNDED CLIAILGE AND UNJUSTIFIABLE CONDUCT OF TUE POLlCE.—Thomas Olds, a boy about twelve years of ago; was charged before Ur. -13unham with otealing £2 4s. 10d., the property of a carpenter, named Coleman and the case presented some peculiar features. Henry Coleman, who appeared to be about ten or eleven years old, said he knew the prisoner, who had worked in his father's house, near Northampton-street, Old Kent road. Last Saturday, between 11 and 12 o'clock in the day, he met the prisoner outside his father's house, and he (prisoner) asked him to go back and unlock the drawer in the parlour where his mother kept the money. He was frightened of him, and he went back to the house with the prisoner. They both went down stairs to the kitchen, and the prisoner took the key of the drawer from him and went up stairs. He was absent about five or ten minutes, and he returned to the kitchen. He said he would give him (wit ness) some good money if he met him at the Green lan gate, but when he went there he could not see the prisoner. The witness was closely questioned by the magistrate, and it was elicited that there was a ledger named Ballan tine in the house at the time of the alleged robbery, and the reason he assigned for not acquainting her with the fact of the prisoner being in the house was his fear of the latter, who was older and stronger than himself. His mother returned to the house about ten minutes after the prisoner was stated to have left but he said nothing to her about the drawer having been rifled, and she did not discover the loss until Monday last. He admitted further that he had taken is. 6d. out of his mother's pocket some time back. The prisoner strongly denied the charge, and said that if the money was lost it must have been taken by the wit ness. Mrs. Coleman said that she was the mother of the wit ness, and she remembered having left four half sovereigns and some silver in the draWer, and when she discoveredthat the money was gone she suspected her son, who had taken money from her before. He denied any knowledge of the money, and she gave him into charge. On his being taken to Bermondsey station, be at first persisted in his denial, but after some time said that the prisoner had taken the money. Mr. Burcham said it was most improper on the part of the policeman who took the boy (Coleman) into custody, to convey him to the station with a view of extorting a con fession from him. The boy was charged with felony, and should be brought before the magistrate before he was discharged. The prisoner must be discharged, and he would inquire further as regarded the policeman. As for the evidence of the boy (Coleman) it was not to be be lieved for one minute, and there was no a tittle of evidence against the prisoner. Be could not sufficiently express himself as to tho atrocity displayed in reference to this case. He desired that the inspector at Bermondsey, the policeman who took the boy into custody, and other officers present at the time should be brought before him immediately. The Treatment of the Federal Prisoners in the Late War. -+- The most important testimony adduced before the Wirz court-martial at Washington on the 21st ult. was that of Drs. F. S. Hopkins and G. L. Rice, two of the Confederate medical men who were on duty at the Andersonville prison hospital. Dr. Hopkins read a report on the condition of the prison and hospital which he had prepared and submitted to General Winder, after receiving instructions to make a complete inspection. Ile found the causes of the great mortality and the alarming prevalence of disease to be the crowded state of the pen, the absence of proper or sufficient food and medicine and all facilities for cleanliness, want of wood, water, and clothing, and of shelter from heat and cold, and the filthy and poisonous condition of the prison. Dr. Hopkins suggested remedies for all these evils ; but no attention was ever given to his report. An order of General Winder to Dr. H. was submitted, showing that the Richmond authorities were cog nisant of the evils, and that Winder had authority to abate them. Dr. Rice gave evidence in regard to the terrible condition of the prison pen, and the dying of men from starvation, cold, hunger, and other causes. The testimony of other witnesses to the same effect was also taken. An Indiana cavalry man, named GeorgeW. Gray, testified to some out rages on the part of Wirz that had not been put in evidence before. In June or July, 1864, the wit ness and a young fellow named Underwood, of the 17th Indiana cavalry (his own regiment), went to the sutler's tent. Wirz was there. Underwood asked for something to rub his wound with. The sutler said he would give it, when Wirz said, " No, he cannot have it, unless he pays me a dollar." Underwood gave Wirz his only money, which was a ten dollar bill, and when he asked for the change Wirz kicked him out of the door; the witness was put in the stocks four days for attempting to escape. He knew a man to die in the stocks in August or September, 1864. The negroes took him out of the stocks after he was dead, threw his body into a waggon, and hauled off. He knew Wirz to shoot a young fellow named William Stewart, belonging to the 9th Minnesota infantry. He and the witness had gone out of the stockade with a dead body which they had begged, when they met Captain Wirz. He rode up to them after they had left the body in the dead-house, and asked them by what authority they were out there. Stewart replied that they were there by proper authority. Wirz said no more, but drew the revolver and shot him. After he was killed the guards took from his body 20 or 30 dollars. Wirz took the money from the guards and rode off, telling them to carry the wit ness to prison. It was the witness's determination to escape if he could, and for that reason he had gone out ; but he was not attempting to do so at the time. When the prisoners were being removed to the cars for exchange, Wirz gave orders to Lieut. Davis to bayonet any man who laid down on the road, and the witness had seen men who wereicrawl ing on their hands and knees to the cars bayoneted by the guards. Witness heard one of the surgeons ask Wirz where he was going to remove the Yankees, and Wirz's reply was, " these Yankees, they will all be dead in a few days, any how." He had seen a prisoner who had been caught by the dogs, with a part of his cheek torn off, and his arms, hands, and legs gnawed up so that he only lived 24 hours. On the same day of the trial it was put on record that Gen. Howell Cobb, one of the main pillars of the Confederacy, and an intimate friend and coun sellor of Jefferson Davis, made a speech at Ander sonville, in March last, where a number of paroled prisoners had a chance to hear him. Pointing to the stockade where the prisoners were huddled together a mass of skeletons, Gen. Cobb told his own men how much better off they Were, and bade them go home, kiss their wives and sweethearts, and find new courage to struggled for success. An then, in full view of 15,000 prisoners enduring the pangs of starvation, Gen. Cobb, in a voice of stentorian power (raised so that the prisoners might hear him), said that he would treat them well, he would feed them well ; and—pointing to the graveyard where they were thrown by hundreds into shallow pits, he added, " he would take care of them !" The proceedings were closed amidst a somewhat exciting scene. Wirz,who, owing to his weak con dition, has for som e d ays testif of ying beingto pastas t requested reclined ono rise f a couch o while in the court-ro om , w r the a cases id ent o i identified d murderby a and ri brutality t ness m o b on his part. When the witness said, " That is the d been man," Wirz glared at him fiercely and made efforts to contradict him, and Was so overcome by his ex citement and passion that he sank exhausted and almost lifeless. Measures were immediately taken to resuscitate him, the court adjourned, and the room was cleared of spectators. It is thought that the accused cannot live to see the conclusion of the trial. SCARCITY OF WATER IN LANCASIIIRE.—The re servoirs of the Blackburn Waterworks Company are all but empty, and the company now only turn the water on for an hour each day. There aro places in the town where the inhabitants have not had the water on for more than a week. The people are consequently driven to all manner of straits, and water has to be carried by them from the I lakes in the park, and from springs and other places in the I outskirts of the town. At Toulon, says Galignani, the mortality dimi nishes very perceptibly. On the 30th ult., the number of deaths was only 49, of which 41 were from cholera. A certain number of surgeons of the navy have arrived there within the last few days, to insure the service of the hospitals as long as the epidemic lasts. The local journals anno uncethed o e f at t h ry o in f g D a r. cu T r o e ur b e y tte c , ol o d f Paris, lvater w h o s e arrival had only just taken place.

BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO. The report of the directors states there was a diminution of the expenditure of the railway for the past half year as compared with the corresponding half year to the extent of £2,883. During the same comparative period the receipts showed an excess of £3,116. This favourable result had been accom plished notwithstanding the temporary stoppage of the line, on one occasion for 12 days, and on an other for three days, owing to damage caused by a fall of rain unprecedented even in the tropical cli mate of Bahia. Besides other damage, three large culverts and two bridges were carried away ; but the directors were happy to state that the extraor dinary expenditure caused by those accidents had been mainly provided for in the accounts now sub mitted. The gross receipts for the half year ending the 30th of June, 1865, amounted to £14,817, against £11,701 for the corresponding half of 1864, show ing an increase of £3,116. The gross expenditure amounted to £24,143, against £27,026 in the cor responding half of 1864, showing a decrease of £2,883, which, added to the £3,116 increase in the receipts ; made a sum of £5,999 in favour of the working of the railway for the past half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of 1864. The directors regretted that the expenditure was still in excess of the receipts by £9,326, which amount being deducted from the guaranteed interest re ceived from the Imperial Brazilian Government, added to the balance brought forward from last half-year of £1,045, left a balance for dividend of £54,719. The directors proposed to the proprietary that a dividend of 12s. per share, or 3 per cent. f3r the half-year, be declared, which would absorb £54,000, leaving a balance of £719. The amount to be accounted for on capital account was £32,969, inclusive of the sum of £11,569 interest accrued during construction, respecting which a difference of opinion existed as to whether it belonged to capital or revenue. The greater part of this sum would be required to complete the works, and for the provision of a suitable stock of stores and materials, without which it would be im possible to work the line economically and profitably. The board had addressed the ex officio director claiming the payment from the Imperial Brazilian Government of the amount of the loss (128,147 17s. Id.) in working the line for the year 1864. A reply had been received by the ex o f ficio director from his Government, and communicated to the board. The directors regretted that the Imperial Government should not have deemed it expedient to comply with this demand, the more so as the obligation which the Imperial Government admitted it was under to open out roads and communications with the trunk line of railway had still been very imperfectly ful filled, owing to the absence of a sufficient provision of funds for that purpose on the part of the Govern ment. The directors did not cease to importune Go vernment on this vital point, and they held in re serve, and were prepared to exercise at the time it should be deemed expedient, the power of returning to the higher scale of tariff charges, which they re duced on the express understanding that greater energy should be shown in this particular so essen tial to the proper development of the traffic. The directors were informed that a new president of the province of Bahia had been appointed, who was re ported to be a functionary of energy and public spirit, and under whom the board anticipated more rapid progress would be made in the completion of the scheme of roads laid out. The capital account to June 30 last showed that £1,790,866 had been expended. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 30th showed that £78,863 had been received, including a balance of £1,046 from the preceding half-year, and £63,000, the guaranteed interest from the Government. The expenditure amounted to £24,144, leaving a balance of £54,719. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts of this company's lines for the week ending Sept. 16 amounted, for local passen gers, to £7,930 ; for foreign passengers to £4,020 ; for emigrants, to £348 ; for mails, &c., to £829 ; for local freight and live stock, to £13,685 ; and for foreign freight and live stock, to £4,o4B—total, £30,860 against £25,481, showing an increase of £5,379. The total receipts from the Ist of July to the above date amounted to £285,141, and for the same period last year to £256,022, showing an in crease of £29,119 or 11.37 per cent. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of home-grown wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate. Owing to the large arrivals of foreign wheat the trade was dull for all qualities, yet no material change took place in prices from Monday. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The demand for most descriptions was in a sluggish state at about previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late prices. Barley was in very moderate supply. The trade, how ever, was quiet, but good and fine malting produce ruled firm. Malt was in moderate demand at full prices. There was a gdod supply of oats on ;ale. In most de scriptions sales progressed slowly at about Monday's currency. Beans and peas moved off slowly at late rates. The flour trade was steady, on former terms. • :ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O.—A scullers' race for .£5O took place yesterday from Putney to Mortlake between Benjamin Edwardes, of the Tower, and Frederick Russell, of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, in old-fashioned boats, and turned out different to what had been the general expecta tion, the betting being upset in the most conclusive man ner. Neither man has figured to any extent, and there was, therefore, no great amount of speculation, but the final quo tation was 6 to 4 on Russell, who is very much smaller than his opponent, but defeated him for Doggett's coat and badge in 1863. Mr. Wormald having been chosen referee, the men got to their stations, Edwardes, having the toss, taking Middlesex. Russell took the lead, but only kept it for half a dozen strokes, when Edwardes was up to him, cleared him at the London Boat House, and rowing away iu the easiest possible manner was three or four lengths ahead at the Dung Wharf ; this he increased to sixat Ham mersmith, and won by ten lengths. The Citizen M accom panied with a large party, conveying Mr. Wilcox, umpire for Edwardes, and George Cannon, for Russell. FIGHT WITH A SHARK.—The Greenport (Long Island) Watchman says :—" At about 9 a.m. of Sun day last the schooner Catherine Wilcox, of Lubec, Maine, was proceeding down the Sound, and while becalmed abreast of that port, about eight miles off shore, the captain and a young man 17 years of age, named Peter Johnson, belonging to Maine, formerly a soldier, and now working his passage home, stripped off their clothing and jumped overboard for a swim. Johnson swam a few rods from the vessel to pick up a small piece of wood, and while returning a huge shark, judged to have been 14 or 15 feet long, darted towards him and seized him about the middle, and instantly disappeared with him, dragging him down, as he says, about 30 feet deep. He struggled and fought with the ravenous monster, fear fully lacerating his right arm in the effort. Ho finally succeeded in grasping the shark by the head and by gouging one of his eyes, at the same time dealing him powerful blows about the head, he succeeded in wresting himself free. Ile then swam to the schooner pursued by the monster, but being a man of remarkable physical strength and pluck, he finally succeeded in driving him off, and got on board of the schooner, pulling himself up by the foretopsail clue-line which hung overboard, but not until the terrible teeth had left their mark in many a ghastly wound, so that he was one mass of gore. There were some 34 distinct wounds on his person. Tho abdomen and groin of the right side was fearfully mangled, the flesh being torn off and left hanging by the skin only, nothing but the thin lining membrane of the abdomen preventing the entrails from gushing out, the femoral vessels were laid bare, and the nerves completely exposed. On the left side of the abdomen was another wound similar in character but less extensive, the right thigh was very badly torn and gashed. Nothing but his indomitable courage and physical vigour enabled him to escape alive. The shark must have been of the species known as " man-eater," which are common in low latitudes, but are rarely seen in shoal water. The common shovel nose shark of our waters seldom , if e ver, attack kind. Johnson is still living, and alth ou g h in a very precarious situation, there is yet some hope of his u ltimate_recov w e 7 .

The poor fel 19vi was engaged pile driving, and by some accident fell in the water. It was three quarters of an hour before the body was recovered from the Thames. OUR DUST-BINS.—We find as dark a hole as we can, and we call it a dust-bin. In small houses a favourite place for this is under au internal staircase in utter darkness, or if not a dark vault opening into an area at the front or back of the house. By the word dust is meant the ash, cinders, and unburnt particles of coal, which was for merly very valuable in brick-making, under the name of breeze, probably a corruption from the French debris. This matter mixed with brick-earth causes the heat to penetrate easily. In fact, the bricks are burnt by internal heat. But the contents of the dust-bin are by no means dust only, which would be harmless enough ; they contain also waste portions of food, positively more injurious to health than the undigested food that has passed through our bodies. In short, the dust-bin is the kitchen midden, a far worse collection than the farmer's midden, which latter has the advantage of being in the open air. It is composed of bones of animals, damaged cooked meat, fish, wasted cooked vegetables, cabbage leaves, wasted bread, and everythtng that will not float in water or pass down a sink grating. And when the bones do not get into the dust-bin, but are kept separate for sale in some closed cupboard, they do not therefore fail to give off their noxious vapour separately. These kitchen middens festerand putrify, aud fill the house with poisonous gas. It is supposed that the parish dustman carries them off once a week, but these goods folks are by no means so regular as our publication.—Once a Week. ALL ENGLAND PLOUGHING MATCHES.—The two crack men from Ipswich and Bedford met at Peter borough on Tuesday, when Messrs. Howard's man, Pur ser, carried off the silver cup, against Messrs. Ransome's man, Barker, thus beating the Ipswich man three times out of five within a week. Ou the same day, at Wis beach, Ransome's new man, Dale, met Howard's man, Brown, and, after a severe contest, Dale took the first and Brown the second prize. At Sleaford, yesterday, Howards, with their man Brown, once more carried off the All England Prize. Another large gathering was held yesterday, at Maidenhead, under the presidency of John Walter, Esq., late M.P. for Berks. The All England prizes were carried off by local men, with Howard's ploughs— Mr. Gillett's man, J. Ryling, taking the first, and Mr. Mill's man, W. Brothers, tho second ; the crack man of Ran some's, Barker, being placed third. Twelve competitors contended for these prizes. ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES.—In a report ad dressed to the Emperor, M. Millet, a member of the Institute, gives an account of an important scientific mission to Greece on which he was sent last year. Tho island of Thasos, visible from Mount Athos, contains a vast number of unexplored remains of towns, theatres, and temples, and M. Millet was fortunate enough to find there several work 3 of art which had escaped destruction at the hands of the peasants, who, seeing Europeans so anxious about large stones, imagine them to contain treasures, and therefore not unfrequently break them into small fragments, in the hope of finding some. This was the case with a large and splendid bas-relief, repre senting a woman in a sitting posture, and holding a casket in her hands. On the freeze the words—" Philis, daughter of Cleomedes," were sculptured. The islanders had broken this beautiful work of art into ten pieces, and then, having found no treasure in it as they hoped, had fortunately thrown them into a corner of a warehouse, where M Millet had the good fortune to discover them. The frag ments, put together again, revealed the beauty of the com position, and the head having escaped all injury, the whole was immediately shipped off to France, together with three bas-reliefs, representing Apollo, Mercury, and eight of the Muses, each bearing articles connected with the toilet, and dressed in long robes with small folds, an d diadems of pearls on their heads, the pearls bei ng represented by grains of some metal. These bas-reliefs are about three feet high and eight in length, and bear inscriptions in the old lonian dialect. Besides these, M . Millet has sent over five bas-reliefs, two of which repre sent funeral banquets, and the three others heroes on horse back, also forty marble slabs bearing inscriptions, many of which are of the time of Alcibiades. The number of hitherto unpublished inscriptions collected by our author amounts to about 200, nearly three-foulths of which - were found in the island of Thasos, the remainder being from Larisha and Saloniki. The latter place was especially remarkable for a large monument adorned with four groups of statues which were daily threatened with destruction or mutilation ; they they now safe at the Louvre, with a con siderable number of antiques of minor interest, such es two lions, a marble seat, &c. TILE REPRESENTATION OF BRECON. The an nouncement in our impression of Tuesday that Mr. Howell Gwyn, who unsuccessfully contested Barnstaple at the last general election, was a candidate for the representation of Brecon, was, it appears, premature, Mr. Gwyn not having yet issued an address. The Earl of Brecknock is the only candidate actually before the electors, and his lordship is highly popular iu the borough. A PRUSSIAN PANIC.
