" Gentlemen,—Parliament having been dissolved fresh elections will immediately take place, and I beg to solicit from you a renewal of that confidence with which you have honoured me during seven successive Parliaments. " If I were now addressing you for the first time, it might be necessary for me to dilate upon the future ; but I think I may with propriety found my appeal for a continuance of your favour upon a reference to the past, and to the results of the course pursued by the Government of which during the last six years I have had the honour of being a member. " During those six years, notwithstanding the heavy pressure of three bad seasons on Ireland and the severe distress which prevailed in some of the manufacturing districts in consequence of the great diminution in the supply • of cotton from North America, the United Kingdom as a whole has enjoyed a remarkable degree of pro gressive prosperity. Peace has been preserved with foreign nations, and this country has been exempt from the exertions and sacrifices which within that period other countries have been required to make. Additional freedom has been given to the employ ment of capital, and to the exercise of productive industry; trade with foreign countries has been re lieved from many obstructions, while new and im portant channels of commerce have been opened in distant parts of the globe. The result has been that the wealth of the United Kingdom has rapidly in creased, and though great reductions of taxation have been made, and some diminution has been effected in the national debt, the public revenue has always been sufficient to provide for the public expenditure, and to maintain in efficiency those national defences, naval and mili tary, which are to every country among the best securities for peace. The present time is remark able for the progressive application of the re sults of science to the operations of war both . by sea and by land, and the country has not in such matters lagged behind the other great Powers of the world. Nor has our colo nial administration been less successful. The population of our North American Provinces are devotedly loyal and attached to connexion with this country ; and India, no longer the scene of insurrection and rebellion, is making rapid strides in civilisation and general prosperity. " But the six years' period, in these respects so happy, was doomed to witness a calamity which plunged the whole nation into grief, and while the loss of the Prince Consort will for ever be recorded among the great domestic misfortunes of the country, the universal sorrow which that loss oc casioned will at least testify that the nation duly appreciated the high and admirable qualities of the Prince whom they mourn. " On the other hand, a bright gleam of hope for the future has cheered the land by the fortunate and happy marriage of the Prince of Wales and the birth of two royal Princes. " 110 v, long the Ministry of which I have the honour t o b e a member may continue to direct the affairs o f this great nation must depend upon the will of the Parliament now about to be elected, but I think I may be allowed to say for myself and my colleagues that a just judgment of our past admi nistration will entitle us to the same measure of goodwill which has been extended to us by the Parliament now dissolved. " In the meantime I again respectfully and earnestly solicit from you a continuance of that con fidence which for so many years has been to me a proud and honourable distinction. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obliged and obedient servant, " PALMERSTON." I[ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues to present a very active appearance. The inquiry for accommodation has been exceedingly large in consequence of heavy Indian engagements falling due to-morrow. The rate out of doors is fully equal to the Bank mini mum, and only in exceptional instances is assist ance obtained at 21 per cent. The Bank of England return presents alterations o f an unf avoura bl e character, but as they were to be , expect e d at t h e present season no great surprise has been created.

From and after at date shareholders will be allowed to make pay ments in advance on account of their shares, which payments in advance will bear interest at 6 per cent. During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Market. Sugars have advanced about 8 per cent., while coffee, rice, and cocoa have been at — fully previous rates. Fruits and spices have been in very limited request at barely former prices; while tallow, although inactive, has in most instances supported late quotations for both present and forward delivery. The shareholders of the Westminster Brewery Company resolved, at a general meeting, to pay an interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per an num, free of income tax. The share certificates of the South African Land and Finance Company may be exchanged for the bankers' receipts at the offices of the company. The application list of Thomas Adams and Co.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO HORSES.—Daniel Coakley, living in Dudley street, was charged before Mr. Knox with cruelly ill treat ing a horse by working it in an unfit state. Mr. W. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended to watch the two cases. William Temperley, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that on the previ ous evening he saw a horse attached to a cart laden with rubbish in Cranbourne-street. He examined the horse, and found the saddle was pressing into a large raw wound of old standing ; that it was lame in both forelegs, and quite unfit for work; in fact, only fit to be destroyed. • The wife of the owner of the horse said she took as much care of the horse as of her children. Rutherford, another officer of the society, corroborated his brother officer. Mr. Knox said the owner's wife said she took as much care of the horse as her children. He should like to ask her if she sent her children out lame and with large sores on their backs? He would hear the other case. Thomas Picking, in the employ of Mr. Thornton, a carman at Battersea, was next charged with cruelty to a horse. Rutherford said that on the previous evening he saw the defendant pulling the reins attached to a horse drawing a carrier's cart, in Cranbourne-street. The prisoner was at the time beating the horse, which could hardly get out of the walk, with a stick. He stopped the defendant, and on examining the horse found it to be in a miserable state— mere skin and bone. It was old, and the back part of the collar was pressing into a wound, and there were other wounds and marks of violence about it. In addition, it had both knees broken. On asking the prisoner why he beat it, he said he was obliged to do so to get it along, and on telling his master he was sure he would be locked up his master said it was all nonsense, and that he must take in out. The prisoner said he only struck the horse once ; but this tho officer denied. After hearing evidence in corroboration, Mr. Knox in spected the horses, and on returning into court said that as regarded the last case it was a positive scandal that the horse was' allowed to live the poor creature being scarcely able'to put one leg before the other. With regard to the other, lie was not judge of horses enough to know whether itsoulci be made use of again. The horse could be examined by a'veterinary surgeon, and summonses should be issued against the owners, and the prisoners could appear again in a week. Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, Jolin-street, Adelphi, John Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., in the chair. There were also present Captain Sir E. Perrott, Bart., Admiral Gordon, W. H.. Harton, Esq., Ad miral M'Hardy, Colonel Palmer, A. Boetefour, Esq., Capt. De St. Croix, and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £4 was voted to the crew of the institution's lifeboat at Groomsport, fol. putting off during a heavy gale of wind and rescuing the master of the smack Agnes and Mary, of Glasgow, which had struck on the rocks off Groomsport very early in the morning of the 30th May. A shore-boat had previously altempted to save the man. A reward of £7 was also granted to the crew of the tubular lifeboat of the institution stationed at Rhyl, for going off and assisting, in conjunction with a steam-tug, to save from destruction the sloop Catherine, of Liverpool, and her crew of four men. The vessel was observed in a disabled condition during a fresh gale of wind off Rhyl, on the 11th ult. A reward of £l3 was likewise granted to the crew of the life boat belonging to the institution at Bude Haven, for put ting off through a heavy sea, and saving the crow of four mon from the schooner Johnson, of Exeter, which was wrecked while attempting to enter Buds Harbour, on the 30th ult. The cost of this valuable lifeboat station, amounting to £6OO, was defrayed by a benevolent gentleman in memory of his late mother. It was reported that the Van Kook lifeboat of the institution at North Deal had gone off in reply to signals of distress, with the view of rescuing the crew of the schooner George, which was found abandoned and sunk during a strong S.W. wind, on the Goodwin Sands, on the 2d ultimo. The Ramsgate harbour lifeboat had also gone out to the assistance of the wreck, but neither lifeboats could find any tidings of the wreck's crew. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of shore boats and others for saving life from ship wreck on the coasts of the United Kingdom. Payments amounting to £438 were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. It was stated that Eleanor, Duchess of Northumberland, had expressed her wish to station a lifeboat on the Northumberland coast, in memory of her husband, the late duke, who was for many years the president of the institution. A benevolent lady, residing at Cheltenham had presented to the institution £6OO, to defray the cost of a lifeboat station, at Anstruther, on the Scotch coast. She wished the lifeboat to be named the Admiral Fitzroy, "in commemoration of the scientific efforts of the distinguished officer of that name to discover the law of storms, with the benevolent view to diminish the loss of life on our coast." New lifeboats and transport ing carriages had been sent during the past month to Noith Sunderland and to Whitby. Both boats were the gifts of benevolent persons to the institution. The Great Northern and North-Eastern Railway Companies had, as usual, kindly given the lifeboats and carriages free conveyance to their respective stations. It was reported that the French Lifeboat Society were having six or seven additional life boats built for them in England and elsewhere. Colonel Fitzroy Clayton, of the Grenadier Guards, had re cently delivered a lecture at Eastbourne in aid of the objects of the institution. Messrs. Peacock and Buchan's composition had again been used in painting the large fleet of lifeboats of the institution. The Devon and Cornwall Lifeboat Bazaar, which was to lie held at Teignmouth on the Bth and 9th of the ensuing month, under the special patronage of the Prince and the Princess of Wales, was reported as likely to be a very grand and successful undertaking. Two benevolent ladies, who are unknown to each other, had expressed a wish to present to the institution the cost (£600) of two lifeboats, the amount in each case being their housekeeping savings. A sailor's daughter hy.d also sent to the institution, through Messrs. Drummond, the bankers, a further contribution of £lOO. The committee decided to place a new lifeboat at Cahore,' on the Irish coast, and to name it the Sir Jamsetjee Jejeeb hey, after the late benevolent baronet of Bombay, who was a munificent contributor to the funds of the institution. Reports were read from Captain Ward, RN., the inspector, and Captain David Robertson, R.N., the assistant-inspec tor of lifeboats of the institution, on their recent visits of inspection of the society's lifeboat stations on the Irish and Scotch coasts. They found, with few exceptions, all the lifeboats in thorough working order. The institution has now 149 lifeboat stations under its management, and dur ing the past eighteen months it had contributed to the saving of upwards of 1,000 lives from various shipwrecks on our coasts. The proceedings then closed. THE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR.—The rumour which we announced on Tuesday has now been confirmed, as Lord Cranworth has been appointed to the vacant office of Lord Chancellor. The noble lord's experience, and his familiarity with the duties which he is about to resume, afford the best guarantee to the country that the selec tion of his lordship is as judicious as it is likely to be beneficial. PREPARATIONS FOR THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS. —Yesterday the erection of hustings for the nomination of candidates at the general election, consequent on the disso lution of Parlianient, commenced in the Guildhall for the City of London, in the Covent-garden market for the City of Westminster, on Clerkenwell-green for Finsbury, and the customary places for the boroughs of Marylebone, Southwark, Lambeth, and the Tower Hamlets. THE NEW SEWAGE ACT.—Yesterday the act to facilitate the more useful application of sewage in Great Britain and Ireland was issued. It recites that it is expedient to remove difficulties under which local boards and other bodies labour having the care of sewers in dis posing of the sewage in their districts so as not to be a nuisance, and to give facilities to such authorities to make arrangements for the application of such sewage to land for agricultural purposef. There are various provisions in the act. The sewer authorities are to prevent the pollution of streams and to dispose of the sewage. LONGEVITY.—On Saturday Mr. Wm. Thurston, of the White-house, Dymock, expired in his 92d year. On his 90th birthday he went out fox-hunting, and seemed to enjoy the sport as keenly as ever he did. Ever since he has been in business he has lived in the same house—that in which the "Man of Ross" was born. The late General Sir J. Thackwell was first taught by Mr. Thurston to ride to hounds. The present master of the Ledbury hounds, Mr. J. C. Thackwell, can recount many a happy reminiscence of his friend Mr. Thurston. Many will regret his death, for he not only entertained the rich, but " ne'er forgot the poor."—Gloucester Journal. THE COAL TRADE AT LIVERPOOL.—At a meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board on Thursday, Ir. C. Langton, the chairman of the Traffic Committee, stated that from the Ist of July, 1863, to June 30, 1864, the coal which passed over tho High Level Rail way at the Bramley Moore and Wellington Docks, amounted to 98,515 tons, and from July 1, 1864, to June 30, 1865, to 140,625 tons, showing an increase of 41,810 tons. This statement was considered exceedingly satis factory, as for a long period the export coal trade on the Liverpool side of the Mersey was in anything but a pro gressive condition. THE GREAT NORTHERN PLANT WORKS, DON CASTER.—On Thursday morning a fire broke out at the Great Northern Plant Works at Doncaster, and it is supposed that it was occasioned by the spontaneous com bustion of some lampblack kept in a portion of the carriage erecting shops. The works of the company are of great extent, and have recently been considerably enlarged. The fire was discovered about 3 o'clock by one of the three night watchmen. The supply of water for the town and company's engines was obtained from the river Don, but notwithstanding the exertions of both brigades the flames extended to several carriages, and entirely consumed a di rectors' carriage, a first-class carriage, and a brake van. Tho roof of the building was seriously damaged, the fore man's rooms wore burnt down, and not less than £1,500 damage has been done. There was no wind at the time, and had the flames been at all fanned the whole block of buildings would probably htive been destroyed. FOUNDERING OF A BRIG.—On the evening of Friday last the brig Emma Jane, of Newport, laden with coke, from Middlesborough to Genoa, sprung a leak off Cromer, and foundered. The owner was on board, who together with the captain and crew took to their boats, and were picked up the schooner Alfred, of Guernsey. On Sa turday at 9 p.m. they were landed at Dover, when the crew were immediately taken to the Sailors' Home. In the case of the convict Patrick Kilkenny, under sentence of death in Ireland for murder, the judges by whom he was tried had declined to support the recom mendation of the jury. The death warrant has been for warded to the county sheriff. A memorial is in course of preparation to be presented to the Lord-Lieutenant for the purpose of having the sentence commuted. MEMORIAL OF " BULL RUN."—On the 16th of June a stone monument 27 feet high was erected with duo ceremonial on a crest, a little south of Henry-house, " in memory of the patriots who fell at Bull Run Jnly 21, 1861." The spot selected is where Heintzelman's division made their hardest fight, but were finally driven back by Kirby Smith. A considerable force of troops were on the ground, and a large company of civilians ; proper religious exercises were gone through, some addresses delivered, and then a salute was fired by Capt. Smith's Massachusetts Battery on the very spot where Rickett's battery Was cap tured. The battle-field itself presents few evidences of the engagement. Here and there a mound indicates a grave, but they are not numerous, and the only relic found was an old musket barrel. We (New York Times) watched carefully along the entire route for evi dences of returning peace and prosperity, but in this part of the State the people will recover their wrecked fortunes very slowly, for they have suffered with terrible severity. Around each farmhouse a few acres are temporarily fenced and planted with apparently just enough to live on, but the broad fields, now rich with full summer verdure, are fence less and tenantless pastures, all the way from Alexandria to Manassas. A few waggons were observed making their way out from the city with loads of supplies, but this country has nothing to send to market. A drove of sheep on their way to the city, crossing the battle-ground, attracted great attention, especially from the soldiers, who were astonished that there should be so many left in the State, but were assured that they had already been driven many miles. TRIAL OF Dit. PRITCHARD THIS DAY. THE VERDICT. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. EDINBURGH, FRIDAY. The intense interest manifested during the whole of the four days this extraordinary trial has lasted was greater than ever this morning. Crowds of people outside the court who had not been success ful in obtaining admission were trying every means in their power to gain an entrance into court, and the police had the greatest difficulty in keeping a space clear for those personally engaged in the trial. As early as seven o'clock this morning Parliament square was densely crowded, and as the hour of opening the court approached the crowd increased to such an extent that it was difficult to reach the top of the lligh-street. It was even greater than on the celebrated trials of Madeline Smith (who was tried eight years ago for poisoning her sweet heart, and was acquitted on the peculiar Scotch verdict of " Not Proven") and Mrs. Gilmore, who was also acquitted on a similar charge of poisoning her husband. The latter female, it will be remem bered, was the first person brought back under the extradition treaty with America. The court opened at ten o'clock, but for some time previous that portion not appropriated to the public presented an extraordinary appearance. The jury entered the court shortly before ten o'clock, and upon their lordships' arrival the prisoner was placed in the dock. His appearance was much the same as it was at the commencement of the trial. There was, how ever, a slight shade of sadness in his expression, but no trace of that anxiety and deep mental suffering to be expected in a person charged with such a dreadful crime and with his life in such imminent danger. During the continuance of the summing up to-day, notwithstanding the strong remarks of the Solicitor-General with reference to the damag ing points in the evidence against the prisoner, he presented that coolness and indifference he has all along exhibited, with the exception of the time when his children were under examination. The Lord Justice Clerk, in a very audible voice, commenced his summing up, and having called to the recollection of the jury the evidence adduced both on the part of the Crown and for the defeiN, concluded by earnestly impressing on the jury the importance of their fully considering all they had heard, and said that the case now only awaited their verdict. Unless they thought that clear conviction was brought to their minds it would be their duty to acquit him. They were not to proceed upon sus picion, or even strong suspicion, but there must be strong conviction in their minds, and if there was any reasonable doubt, it was their duty to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt ; but if they came to that clear conclusion of his guilt, they were not to allow any suggestion made for the defence to deter them from doing their duty. The learned judge having reminded the jury of the oath they had taken, concluded by beseeching an all-wise and all-seeing Providence to direct them to a right verdict. The jury retired at half-past one o'clock, and, after an absence of 55 minutes, returned into court. The Clerk of the Court, addressing the jury, said—Gentlemen, have you agreed to your verdict ? The Foreman, in a firm tone—We have. The Clerk of the Court—How say you, gentle men ; do you find the prisoner Guilty or Not Guilty ? The Foreman—We unanimously find the prisoner " GUILTY" of murdering Mary Jane Taylor or Pritchard, his wife, and also unanimously find him " GUILTY" of the murder of Jane Cowan or Taylor, his wife's mother Silence having been proclaimed, The Lord Justice Clerk put on the black cap and passed sentence of death in the usual manner, which he said would be carried into effect at Glas gow, on Friday, the 28th of July. The prisoner was completely overcome when he heard his doom. SHARE MARKETS—This day. Share/ Railways. 13.14 Bir.. Wol.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—Ann Jones, alias Clay, alias Lowe, a woman stated to be 30 years of age, who looked much older, was brought before Mr. Partridge on remand charged with stealing a large quantity of property from the premises of Mr. Lindley J. Higham, a grocer and post master of the district, 9, Brighton-terrace, Stepney. A man named Richard Lowe, 55 years of age, who was described as a carpenter, was originally charged with the woman as being concerned in the felony, and was dis charged. The two persons had been lodging in the house of Mr. Higham from April last until the day of their ap prehension, yesterday week. All the portable articles in their furnished apartments, including blankets, sheets, a quilt, a cabin lamp, and other things, had been pawned The female prisoner had given up the pawnbrokers' dupli cates relating to the property, and took all the blame upon herself. The man was consequently discharged. Several pawnbrokers' assistants proved that the woman who had passed as Richard Lowe's wife had raised money on her landlord's goods. She was committed for trial. Mr. Graves, clerk to Mr. Vann, a solicitor, said the pri soner bad obtained money from Mr. Piggott, landlord of the Fountain publichouse, Virginia-row, Bethnal-green ; from Mrs. Bullen, Bridge House publichouse,• Stepney ; and others by means of forged advance notes and allot ment notes, purporting to be issued by shipowners and shipbrokers in favour of seamen who had gone to sea. They were made payable at the offices of firms which had no existence, or at the offices of respectable firms who were not the owners of the ships named in the notes. The prisoner received £l4 of Mr. Piggott on those worthless documents, £lB of Mrs. Bullen, a widow, and various other sums. The documents were made out in the ordinary manner, on printed forms, which could be easily obtained. • • _ _ Mr. Partridge said the cases of fraud and Sofgery against the prisoner were not complete, and the nfiittey was ob tained in Bethnal-green and other places out of the Tham: police court district. The prisoner was already committed for trial, and she could be indicted at the cessions on the charge of issuing the notes. WESTMINSTER. DARING ROBBERY.—Bridget Gellighan, an Irishwoman, without bonnet or shawl, was placed at the bar, charged with the commission of the following daring robbery : Miss Fanny Wright, of 8, Green street, Marlborough road, said—This woman robbed me last night near Albert gate, Knightsbridge. I had, in consequence of the rain, come late froni Kensington in a cab, and got out of it at half-past 12, with an umbrella in my hand. I was walking away towards my home, and wearing a black silk mantle, fastened by a brooch, when the prisoner, who had a child slung behind her, came behind me, and, seizing my mantle, stripped it off my back, and I lost my mantle and brooch. The prisoner crossed to the other side of the way, and I kept her in sight, and told a policeman what had happened, and he went one way and I went another. When he spoke to the prisoner she said she had not got it, and after she had crossed the road she dropped it from her person, but I have not found the brooch. Prisoner declared that he knew nothing whatever about the mantle, and that it was all a mistake to suppose that she had had it, as she had no opportunity whatever of concealing it about her person. The police said it could be shown that the prisoner did drop it. Joseph Walker, a cabman on the stand opposite the Alexandra Hotel, said that as the prisoner crossed the road with the policeman she dropped the mantle in the road. A policeman proved taking her as described. She had been drinking, but knew what she was about. Mr. Selfe—ls anything known of the prisoner ? Police—She has been charged hero several times with felony and other things, and has been committed to prison. She was remanded. The Cholera in Egypt. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) ALEXANDRIA, June 28. The deaths from cholera yesterday were 208. For some days past the variations in the tempe rature have been followed by corresponding fluc tuations in the rate of mortality, which confirms the prevailing opinion that the epidemic arises from the state of the atmosphere in the city. Yesterday the heat was much less than ordinary, and even during the hottest period of the day there was a strong breeze from the sea. Nubar Pacha, the lifinister of Public Works, who recently directed that the numerous labourers working upon the railway embankments should be exempt from labour during the hottest time of the day, has now ordered rations of wine, soup, meat, and rice to be served out to the men on the Govern ment works morning and evening. Thanks to this timely nourishment. No case of cholera has occurred among the numerous working population depend ing upon the Ministry of Public Works. IRON SHIPS.—The French Royal Mail Company —"Service Maritimes des Messagerie,s Imperial"—after a long trial of variousanti-fouling" compositions for keeping the bottoms of their iron fleet efficient and clean in India, &e., have just sent a large order to Messrs. Peacock and Buchan, of Southampton, to be forwarded to Alexan dria, for their depot at Suez. The success of this com position over all competing preparations has been exem plified most practically and satisfactorily in H.M. navy on H.M. troop-ship Himalaya, and other ships where it has been tried ; and as a proof of its commercial success, which, after all, is perhaps the best test, we are informed that these gentlemen have orders on hand for supplying the depots in India and China of the largest iron steamship company in the world, and also large orders on merchants' account for Hong Kong, Shanghae, Sydney, New Zealand, the Medi terranean, &c. We can but congratulate Messrs. Peacock and Buchan on their well-merited success, the result of more than twenty years practical study and perseverance, of which we have already g i ven many instances in the pages of this work.—Extract from the Nautical Magazine, Ist July, 1865. THE FIRE AT MARLBOROUGH HOUSE.—The fol lowing is the official report of Captain Shaw, the chief of the Fire Brigade, respecting the recent fire at Marlborough House, with the amount of damage, &c. : "At half-past 2 o'clock p.m., on the 4th inst., called to a fire at Marlborough house, Pall-mall, the residence of his - Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, caused by a lighted swinging gas bracket in a ventilator shaft coming in con tact with its wooden casing. Extent of damage :—Floor ing, joisting, and partition on second and third floors burnt and damaged, and 20ft. of roof cut away over east wing; ceiling and passages underneath damaged by water. Building not insured. Fire extinguished by inmates and firemen." It should be mentioned that Captain Shaw was telegrapled for from Marlborough House, and on arriving there made a thorough survey of the place, and convinced the Prince and Princess that all danger was at an end, and the place was safe, the Prince thanking him for his attention.

THE COUNSEL AND THE REPRIEVE.--The execu tion of Chas. fi. Walters for the murder of his mis tress, Nancy E. Vincent, which was to have taken place at the Tombs yesterday, was postponed by order of Governor Fenton, until the 7th proximo. The reprieve did not arrive till within a few minutes of the time appointed for the execution. The prisoner's counsel, ex-Judge Stuart, had gone up to Albany, it appears, the day before for the pur pose of making a final effort to obtain a respite, and on Thursday evening succeeded in obtaining the Governor's signature to the document. He at once telegraphed the fact to the Sheriff, and said he would be on hand in the morn ing with the necessary papers. This was the only notice the Sheriff received, and the friends of the condemned man anxiously awaited the arrival of ex-Judge Stuart to see if the news was true. In the hurry and confusion attending the undertaking ex-Judge Stuart missed the train from Albany, which arrives in this city about half-past 10 o'clock, and was obliged to fall bark upon the uncertainty of a steamboat, which ought to have arrived here about 5 o'clock. Unfortunately a thick fog set in on the river soon after the departure of the boat, which caused a delay of se veral hours, rendering the counsel's position decidedly un easy. He knew that it was Walters's express desire that the execution should take place as early as possible, and he was fearful that the reprieve might not arrive in time. The fog still hung over the channel of the river, and the boat's progress was so slow that it was really a matter of doubt whether she would reach the wharf in time to be of any ad vantage to poor Walters. The captain was urged to push ahead, and no doubt did his best to make up for lost time, but the counsel was fidgetty, and insisted that he would be to , ) late unless they put on a little more steam. The sus pense of the counsel was soon over, however ; the city ap peared in view, and the captain assured him that he would land him at the foot of Canal-street at half-past 8 o'clock, which would give him sufficient time to reach the Tombs before 9 o'clock, the hour appointed for the execu tion. True to his word, the captain landed his passengers at the appointed hour, and the way the ex-judge jumped ashore before the gang plank was out and made straight for a carriage was a sight worth seeing. As we have pre viously stated, he reached the Tombs in time to postpone the execution, and entered the condemned man's cell and acquainted him with his good fortune. Walters was con versing with his mother and sister when his counsel's arrival was announced, and before the turnkey could unlock the cell dOor the ex-judge and his client was shaking hands and congratulating each other through the iron gratings of the door, Walters wept like a child when he heard the news, and his counsel vented his feelings in the same way, only that he was more excited, and cried faster, louder, and longer than the prisoner did.—New York Herald, June 24.

LADY ROTHSCHILD'S SABBATH SCHOOL.—An excursion party of 100 young women, belonging to the Bible class of Lady Rothschild's Sabbath school, in Devonshire-square, City, made a pleasure trip on Wednes day, to Hayes Common, near Bromley, in Kent, where they were liberally regaled with an excellent dinner. After roaming about this delightful spot, they were provided with tea, cake, &c., and the youthful excursionists returned to their school-room highly delighted with the entertain ment, heightened very considerably by the fineness of the weather and the excellent arrangements made on their behalf. EXECUTION OF NEGRO SOLDIERS.—TweIve negro soldiers were executed at Vicksburg on the 26th of May for the murder of Mrs. Cook and her child. The men had loft their camp one night without leave, and for the purpose of robbery. They wont to Col. Cook's house and shot him, but after a little time he managed to crawl out to a barn. Meanwhile they demanded money of Mrs. Cook, and on her refusal to give up her property shot her and her child dead. They sacked and fired the place to wipe out all traces of their crime. They had a fair trial, and were justly convicted. Thousands flocked to see the execution. The ground was kept by their own and other regiments. Being asked what they had to say, they stated they had fought for their country, and been taught to hate rebels, but as • sorted their innocence of the murder, and said "Jesus was their friend." They then sang a hymn, and the chaplain made a short prayer. The executioner went along, placing the rope round , each man's neck, and adjusting the caps over their heads. The word was given, and the twelve men were between earth and heaven. A wild murmur of the black women and children rang from hill to hill, but the band struck up, and. the multitude gradually dispersed. —Memphis Bulletin. HYDROPHOBIA.—The efficacy of Dr. Buisson's sudorific treatment of hydrophobia, as reported in Galignani, is confirmed by the Revue des Provinces, which quotes from a journal printed in 1830 :--" I i r emamber," says the narrator, " a man who formerly lived n the same place as I did, and who was unfortunate enough to bo bitten by a mad dog. Some time after he fell ill, and very soon appeared all the symptoms of hydrophobia, which became so violent that his friends resolved to ter minate his sufferings by suffocating him. To accomplish that dreadful design, four of them extended a feather-bed on the floor, threw the unhappy man upon it, and covered him with a second bed, on which they placed themselves to press upon and smother him. During the time, his wife was held in the adjoining room by some of her relations. Tha state of this unhappy woman may be imagined during the struggle and groans of the sufferer ; she remained at first apparently stupified, but when a frightful silence had suc ceeded the tumult, she seemed to break loose from her apathy; the full horror of the scene rushed upon her mind, and, with a shriek of despair, she rushed into the chamber of death. With superhuman force she threw aside the men who were holding her husband down, and pulled away the bed which covered him. Life had almost de parted, but respiration was soon re-established, and at last he opened his eyes. The efforts he made had covered him with so profuse a perspiration, that it ran in streams from the whole of his body. He was calm, and, a short time after, to the astonishment of all preseni, announced that the symptoms of his cruel malady had quitted him. This man lived long after, had a numerous family, and never felt any recurrence of the attack." Juliet Stoic I ~,.
