Little business has been transacted in the discount Market to-day, and there is no alteration to report In the terms upon which bills are negotiable. About £4,000 in gold was taken out of the Bank yesterday for export to the Continent. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon Were in a few instances slightly lower. The movements of specie during the past week have been on a very limited scale as regards the i mports, and which have only- amounted to 42,244 ; while the exports have been to the extent of £376,190, chiefly to the Continent. The third report of the East London Bank has lust been issued. The profits for the half year end ing 30th June, 1865, after providing for all bad and doubtful debts, deducting rebate of interest on cur rent bills, and writing off an adequate proportion of the amounts standing to the debit of bank pre lllises and preliminary expenses, enable the directcrs t o recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. Per annum, free of income tax. The directors think , it right to a dd th a t th e num b er of current accounts, bo th at head office and at the branches, have been a nd are steadily increasing, and the amount of mosey deposited is much larger than heretofore. The report of the English, Scottish, and Austra hlian Chartered Bank, for the half-year ending in e col on i es 31st March, and in London 30th June, has been issued. It shows a balance of profit of d 44 22,53 8, with w hi c h th e di rec t ors are enabled off l are a divid en d o f 7 per cent., to write £l,OOO Premises and f urn it ure account, and to carry forw ard £538 to the ne x t h a lf- year. Th e d i rectors ; e gret that th e necess i ty has arisen to write off a nrther sum to meet the loss from failures referred '.° in th e f ormer report, but anticipate with con 4clenee that the future profits will admit of an in creased dividend. -"- n ,odges' Distillery Company, requiring , a capital 47 £2 00,000, in shares of £25 each, is 'a new under iaking of great promise.

Th e o bj ect i s to provide as regular e of steamers between London and the East, and direr contract has been made, by which the able are enabled to secure, on /unusually favour f° terms, te rnas, five new steamers admirably adapted trade. These steamers have been only re- ZirltlnYislaunched, and having been built specially dim . th e Mediterranean trade, there will be no D ur ,, e , lll tY in commencing operations at once, The partTage-money will be paid partly in cash, and p osed in shares of the company. It is pro -1,04 to run . a li ne o f power f ul steamers from 144°11 to Gibralt ar , Si c il y, M alta, the lonian thecills, and the principal ports of Greece, Turkey, tru e l ack Sea the Islands of the Archipelago, the — ast of s • yria, and Egypt. The import and export cit ' l 7e of Great Britain with Turkey and Greece di lln in g the last five years has assumed an extraor 4rY magnitude. The principal impediment to the e Pans' ion of the trade has hitherto been found in Wont of a di rect communication between the cou ntries vn ; but as th e establishment of this company S upply the defi c i ency, there can be no doubt old that a well-organised steam and trading com- Pally, with ample capital, will command the 'greater Portion of the trade. The list of directors comprises ie veral gentlemen largely connected with the com nierce of the East, and some holding high official Positions.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —An alarming accident occurred yesterday after noon near the T Twyford station, and but for theeprecaution of Abraham Hills, the engine-driver, it might have been attended with serious if not fatal consequences to some of the passengers. It appears that the through train for Exeter, leaving Paddington at two o'clock, and which is not timed to stop until it reaches Reading at 2 55, proceeded safely until within 200 yards of Twyford station. At that point a gang of platelayers were employed on the " down" linp, and they had out some cross timbers, known as " tran soms," when the train came in sight, running at full speed. Hills saw there was danger, and his presence of mind prevented what must have been a fearful acci dent, for no less than eight carriages ran off the metals and tore up the permament way, but the train was fortu nately brought to a standstill before the platform was reached, and the carriages which had been dislodged were thus pre vented from coming into collision with the stonework of the platform. The passengers were much shaken, but not injured, and so greatly did they feel indebted to the engine driver for the care ho had displayed - that they spontaneously collected a sum of money andpresented to him. Very soon a body of labourers were despatched from Paddington, Reading, and other parts of the line, and after a delay of about an hour and a half the down traffic was resumed. It was not stated why the metals were in an unfit state at the time, but doubtless it will form the subject of inquiry. THE ACCIDENT AT WINDSOR.—The accident to Mrs. Brand, the wife of Captain Brand, and daughter of the Belgian Minister, has terminated fatally. The unfortunate young lady expired after her premature confinement on Thursday evening, in spite of every medi cal attention, at the residence of her husband in the cloisters of Windsor Castle. Naturally, the sad event has much affected the families of Captain Brand and of his Excellency M. Van de Weyer. Mrs. Brand, who was married to Captain Brand at Bray Church, amid much re joicing, about two years back, was beloved by a large circle of friends and relatives. ANTICIPATED Loc K-OUT IN THE BUILDING TRADE. —The Associated Society of Master Builders have refused to comply with the demand of the carpenters and joiners for an immediate advance of wages to 71d. per hour, but promise to make an advance to 7d. on the Ist of January next, and this morning each gave separate notice to the men in his employ, that unless Messrs. Cubitt, Whose men have gone out on strike upon this question, obtain a sufficient 'supply of bands by Monday morning next, they will proceed to the lock-out, which there is ,no doubt will become general throughout the trade. The men show no disposition to give way, and those on strike from Messrs. Cubitts receive an allowance of 20s. per week from the trade funds. A DOUBTFUL STORY.—The Courrier de l'lsere relates the following extraordinary instance of de termination which occurred three days since at Miribel Lanchatre, in that department. A boy, 12 years of age, named Durrand, having alined a tree to take a bird's nest built in the hole of a trunk, had just inserted his hand to reach it when the branch on which he stood broke, and being unable to withdraw his hand, he remained sus pended by it. In this predicament, seeing no help near, he drew a pruning knife from his pocket, and cut off his hand at the wrist. Having fallen at the foot of the tree without further injury he walked home, whence, after a first dressing had boen applied, he was conveyed to the hospital at Grenoble. ELECTIONEERING JOKES.—At Brighton, Mr. MOOT was sadly put o u t on the hustings by some one raising up a l arge placard inscribed, in large letters, "Moor in his Last Agonies." Mr. Ch r i s ti e, w hi le vituperating his opponents as imb ec il e, venal, &c., demanding of him w h et h er it was was s t i h le a re he d w b a y s aammeman ber of the Christy Minstrels. - 1 pm. ; London Quays, z dis par ; British India Trust and Agency; 1 1i pm. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company (Limited), 28 28 pm. ; Belgrave Mansions, par pm. ; Blakeley Ordnance, 0 0 pm. ; Metropolis Sewage, 6 7 pm. ; Peruvian Rail ways, 5 6 pm. ; Lion Brewery, 2 21 pm. ; Bar ned's Banking, par 2 pm. ; Dalbeattie and Kirkcon - nell Granite, 2 21 pm. ; Hop and Malt Exchange, 2 p.m ; Gowhatty Tea, 2 1 pm. ; Austin Con solidated Silver Mines, par pm. ; London and Me diterranean Banks 3i 4 pm.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. HARPHAM V. HARPHAM. This was a petition of the husband fora dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co respondent and some other man unknown. Both defen dants traversed the allegation of adultery, and the respon dent further pleaded cruelty. . From the evidence for the petitioner, it appeared that the parties were married at Ashford, in Kent, in Sept., 1853. The petitioner was a perfumer and hair dresser, and the respondent, whose maiden name was Wilkinson, was in the same station of life. There was no issue of the mar riage, but the parties lived happily together until 1855, when the respondent contracted habits of intemperance, and sometimes became so violent that she had to be re moved from the shop. In 1861 she became acquainted with the co-respondent, who was a married man, and they lived together at York-road, Lambeth, where they opened a tobacconist's shop. They had since been cohabiting else where. With reference to the charge of cruelty, letters were read from the respondent to her husband, in which she spoke in grateful terms of her affectionate treatment, and admitted that she was not justified in deserting him. It was not denied that he had refused to take her back. Evidence was then called to disprove the charge of adul tery, and to show that the petitioner did not supply his wife with necessaries, which her delicate state of health required. The learned judge decided that the adultery was proved, and that the evidence of cruelty was not entitled to cre dence. Decree nisi, with costs against the co-respondent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-8 TREE T. ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.—John Freeman and James Costello, the former a private of the Grenadier Guards, and the latter a costermonger, were charged—Freeman with stealing a watch and chain, and Costello with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. The evidence of Wm. Sysless, waiter at the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, went to show that on the previous afternoon he saw Freeman and a tipsy man go into the taproom of the Crown public-house, Green-street, Leices ter-square. Observing something rather suspicious in Freeman's conduct, he looked through the glass-door and saw Freeman feeling the tipsy man about the waistcoat. Subsequently he followed Freeman, who left the house alone, to Trafalgar-square, and gave him in charge on sus picion of robbing the tipsy man. Freeman was then taken back to the public-house, where he passed a watch and chain to the other prisoner, Costello, who had followed the soldier back to the house with a crowd of others. John Richards, staying at the " Sailors' Home," Well street, Wellclose-square, identified the watch and chain as his property. He met the soldier yesterday, and had drink with him, and got drunk. Riscorla, 69 E, proved seeing Freeman pass something to Costello. Costello then walked away, but was taken back to the house, when the watch and chain were found in his possession. He saw the soldier give them to him. M'Cabe, 313 A, proved finding the property on Costello, who said the soldier must have put it into his pocket. Inspector Draper said that at the station Freeman owned the handkerchief in which the watch and chain were wrapped. Freeman denied the roberry, but Costello admitted re ceiving the articles from Freeman. Mr. Knox committed them both fur trial. THE ROAD MURDER. TRIAL OF CONSTANCE KENT.—SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED. A summary of the following appeared in The Sun of yes terday : SALISBURY, Friday. The trial of Constance Emilie Kent, charged on her own confession with the murder of her half-brother, Francis Saville Kent, at Road House, in this county, on the 30th June, 1860, took place in the Assize Court here to-day, before Mr. Justice Willes. It being known that the ac commodation for the public in the Assize Court was very limited, there was not so great a crush at the doors, on _ their being opened, as he had anticipated. The Court, however, was in a fearfully crowded state ; but the police arrangements were as effectual as they could be under the circumstances. It was rumoured about in legal circles last night that the prisoner intended to persist in her plea of guilty ;" that every effort had been made to induce her to retract it, but in vain; and that her counsel had even favoured this course, in the expectation that the sentence of death, which would inevitably follow, would not be carried into effect. This rumour, it will be seen, proved to be well founded, and the proceedings of the trial were consequently very brief. By half-past eight o'clock the court was filled. Shortly before nine his lordship arrived and took his seat upon the bench. The prisoner had previously been brought to the Court-house by a private cab, and not in the common prison van. On being brought up from the cells into the dock she was addressed by her attorney, Mr. Rodway, who appealed to her for the last time to alter her determination to retract her plea, and to plead not guilty. She, however, remained _firm, rind then advanced to the front of the dock and raised her veil, which had been previously drawn over her face, and, clasping her gloved hands before her, stood facing the judge. She was attired, as on her examination at Trow bridge, in deep mourning. Every eye was fixed upon her as she stood awaiting the commenoement of the proceed ings. Miss Grenne, the lady superior of the Brighton Hospital, and the Rev. A. Wagner, incumbent of St. John's, Brighton, sat on the bench appropriated to the witnesses, almost immediately behind the dock. Gough, the nurse maid, and some other witnesses were not brought into court at all. Mr. Kent, the prisoner's father, was in Salisbury, but was not present at the trial. It is said that the pri soner's brother, who, it will be remembered, ran away from home in company with his sister, was also in Salisbury. The counsel who appeared for the prosecution were Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., and Mr. Lopes ; for the defence Mr. Cole ridge, Q.C., Mr. Edlin, and Mr. Ravenhill. The Clerk of the Arraigns, addressing the prisoner, said —Constance Emilie Kent, the indictment charges you with the wilful murder of Francis Saville 'Kent —are you guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner replied in a voice almost inaudible --Guilty. His Lordship, after a short pause, addressing the pri soner, said—Are you, as you are charged, guilty o f h av i ng lfly, bhe , t , understood to reply, " Y es " The Judge—l must repeat, you are charged with h av i ng wilfully, maliciously, and with malice, killed and m ur d ere d wiul rore The prisoner was and of malice, killed and murder e d your your brother—are you guilty or not guilty ?

Tho learned Queen's counsel then resumed his seat, and the judge directed the officer of the court to call upon the prisoner in the usual form. The Clerk of the Ariaigns, addressing the prisoner, said —Constance Emilie Kent, you have confessed yourself guilty of the crime of the murder of Francis Saville Kent ; what have you to say why the sentence of death should not be passed on you according to law ? The prisoner remained mute, and silence haying been proclaimed while the sentence of death was passed, His lordship put on the black cap, and in a voice low and broken by emotion, addressed the prisoner to the fol lowing effect :—Constance Emilie Kent, you have pleaded guilty to an indictment charging you with th e wilful mur der of your brothe r , Francis Saville Kent, on the 30th of June, 1860. It is my duty (here the learned judge was much affected) to receive that plea which you have deli- This was a suit by the wife for a dissolution of her mar riage with her husband, John Ilarphain, a saddler in busi ness at Alford, in Lincolnshire, on the ground of adultery and cruelty. Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner, and the respondent made no defence. It appeared that the peti tioner was the daughter of a farmer who formerly lived at Farlsthorpe, in Lincolnshire, and that the marriage was solemnised on the 10th May, 1849. The parties then removed to Alford, where they lived happily for about 18 months. The respondent contracted habits of intemperance at that time, and then commenced his ill-treatment of the petitioner, whom he was in the habit of assaulting vio lently, and she had frequently had black eyes and other injuries in consequence. His conduct became so bad that in 1853 she was obliged to leave him, and returned to her father, with whom she remained until November, 1854, when she was induced to resume cohabitation with the respondent, in consequence of his stating that he had be- come a" teetotaller," and had joined the Wesleyan body. For some time ho continued sober, but shortly relapsed into his old habits of drunkenness and cruelty to the peti tioner. On one occasion he came home intoxicated, and threw a knife at the petitioner ; afterwards he threatened to strangle her. In 1856 she again returned to her friends, and her father dying in 1862 she had since lived with her brother at Alford. The respondent made overtures to the petitioner to come back to him, promising amendment, but she refused. The brother of the petitioner made some in quiries relative to the conduct of the respondent, and dis covered that he had been leading a most profligate life since his wife was obliged to leave him. The last act of impropriety on his part which was ascertained took place late in 1864. Decree nisi, with costs. GORE V. GORE AND MARSH. berately put forward. It is a satisfactiom to know that fills plea was not pleaded until after you haver had the advi, ?.o of counsel, who, I know, would have relieved you of tha t painful duty if it could have been d one . I 'an entertain no doubt, after having read the evidence in the lepositions, that you are guilty of the crime ; that you have pleaded the plea as being the only guilty person concerned in the crime ; and that it was one committed with great de. libe- ration. You appear to have allowed feelings of jealon,7 andanger to have worked in yourbreast until they assumed over you the influence and power of the evil one. (His lordship here paused for a few moments, evidently overcome by his feelings. Ho then added—) Whether her Majesty (with whom alone the prerogative of mercy rests) may be advised to exercise that prerogative on the ground of the fact of your youth at the time of the committal of the mur der, or of the fact that you have been convicted chiefly on your own confession, and the fact that that confession re moves any suspicion from others, it would be presumptuous in me to say here ; but it will become you to live what is left you of life as one who is about to (lie. Seek for more enduring mercy by a sincere and deep contrition for your crime. (Here the prisoner buried her head in her hands and wept bitterly, still maintaining a firm and erect posi tion)—and by a reliance on Him who is the only redemp tion, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the whole world. It remains now for me only to discharge the duty which the law imposes on the Court without any alternative—that is, to pass the sentence which the law awards to the crime of wilful murder, which is, that you be taken from the place where you stand to tho place whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, that you be hanged by the neck until your body be dead, and that your body bo afterwards buried within the pre cincts of the gaol ; and may God have mercy on your soul ! The prisoner then turned round in tho dock, and pulling her thick black veil over her face, walked firmly and slowly downstairs to the cell beneath. It was observed by -those who stood near the prisoner, that when his lordship attributed the crime to " feelings of anger and jealousy," the prisoner said, in a low tone, " Not jealousy." This was the only audible remark made by her after her plea. At the close of the case his lordship, who appeared quite overcome by emotion, left the court for a short time. Subsequently, on his return, Mr. Coleridge made an ap plication to the judge\ for a special order to admit the rela tions and friends of the prisoner to see her in the con demned cell, subject to the regulations of the gaol. It is stated by those who have conversed with tho pri soner since her commitment that she deprecates an inter ference on her behalf for substituting imprisonment for life for the capital sentence that has now been passed on her. She declares that death can bo the only expiation of the dreadful crime which she has committed. The prisoner was, in the course of the afternoon, re moved to Salisbury gaol, where she will remain until the sentence is carried out—that is, unless the Royal clemency should spare her life. Loss of the Ship Van Cappellan, HORRIBLE DEATH AND SUFFERING OF THE CREW. The ship Naturalist, Captain Hyde, has arrived in the Victoria-docks from Calcutta, having on board five seamen, the only survivors out of the crew of 16, of the iron-ship Van Cappellan, which foundered in the Indian Ocean. The statement of the survivors shows that the poor fellows underwent the most horrible suffering, several of the unhappy crew, who were drifting about in a boat for 15 days, dying from exhaustion and the want of food. The Van Cappeilan, Captain Sewell, left Calcutta in the early part of February for Hull, and the voyage proceeded as usual, nothing particular oc curring until the morning of the 16th of March, when the vessel was in lat. about 6 S., long. 58 E. At 5.30 a.m., all sail being set, ship on the port tack, a heavy squall struck her, heeling her over on her starboard beam ends. All the en deavours of the crew failed to right her, and the ship being noticed to be settling down, the boats were cut adrift and spare spars prepared to make a raft in readiness for leaving the ship. At 7 a.m. the ship disappeared, taking down with her Captain Sewell and Mr. L. Price, chief officer, John Stone, the cook, John Herman, seaman, H. French, A. 8., and George Allan, apprentice, leaving 16 hands clinging to the bottom of a small boat, spars, hen coop, &c. Robert Hamilton, the carpenter, thus describes what followed :—" With great exertion we managed to get the boat turned over. We baled her out, and picked up the survivors, who were clinging to spars, &o. We succeeded in picking up three pumpkins, a small pig, and four ducks. Seeing a ship, we pulled after her, but the breeze springing up we lost sight of her, leaving us to our fate. To each man we then served out 1i inch of pumkin, a piece of raw pork and a piece of duck. On the 17th sighted a ship with painted ports; pulled for her, but the breeze increasing we wero unable to get to her. The sun very hot, and we had little or no clothing to protect our bodies, having cast them off to save our lives. We suffered very much from want of water, and the pork being spoiled could not eat it. There were a number of sharks alongside, and we tried to get one, but were unsuccessful. On the 18th, cloudy, with a light breeze, sun very hot, served out to each man some pieces of pumpkin ; tried to entice a shark into a running bow-line with a piece of the spoiled pork, but was unsuccessful. 19th. Cloudy, but no rain. Thinking the water was fresher be low the surface, I lashed an oar over the stern of the boat, and went down and drank freely, but without finding any relief. 20th. Cloudy with a light breeze ; we bathed frequently to keep ourselves cool. 21st. Cloudy. Caught a shark and drank its blood, which relieved our thirst a little, and partook of a small piece of the shark with our daily allowance of pumpkin. Wm. Allan, A. 8., George Liberty, A. 8., Joseph Pask, and Hugh Howard, steward, persisted in washing the meat of the shark, but they became delirious, and died in the evening. 22d. Cloudy, with a light breeze. Em ployed ourselves in cutting a gutter in the shafts and gunwale of the boat, to catch fresh water should it rain. 23d.Cloudy, with a few drops of rain. 24th. Clear ; sun very hot ; no sail in sight. Bathing fre quently to keep ourselves cool, but the salt water was making our skin very sore. 25th. Dark and cloudy weather. Hawkins died. Caught about a bucket ful of fresh water off the shafts of the boat, drinking sparingly. 26th. Light breeze and hot sultry wea ther. Served out one and a half of pumpkin. This being the last morsel of food in the boat, and no water left, things began to look very dismal. Thomas Price, 2d officer, died. 27th. Cloudy. Bathing fre quently, and drinking our own urine. Hugh Coonar, boatswain, Hugh Price, A. 8., and Smith acting 2d officer, died. Drank the blood O Coonar and Smith, and eat a piece of the body. 2Sth. Cloudy, eating sparingly of human flesh. At sun dawn sighted a sail, Lbut night coming on, lost sight of her ; pulled with all our strength all night in the direction of the ship. 29th. Light airs and cloudy ; 1 a.m. Andrew Brince died. Drank his blood, and cut a piece of his flesh off, in case we might lose the ship sighted the previous night. At daylight we saw the vessel coming right for us, at 7.30 a.m. came alongside the vessel, which proved to be the ship Naturalist, from Calcutta, for Lon don, and the following men, all those remaining of the 16 who first took to the boats were taken on board :—Robert Hamilton, the carpenter, a cooper, Chas. Eade, Alfred Ralph, and Antonio Nicholas ; but the latter was so weak that he shortly expired." Had the poor creatures been out twelve hour longer they would doubtless have all perished. Mr. James Muir, the chief officer, was on deck when the boat, which was a mere speck on the water, was first seen, and having reported the circumstance to Captain Hyde, the ship at once bore down for the boat. When they came alongside they were in such an exhausted condition that a chair had to be lowered in order to lift them on board. Captain Hyde at once made every provision for their corn- fort, but great care had to be taken in giving them stimulant's, in consequence of their critical state, arising from the horrible sufferings which they had gone through during the fifteen days they had been tossed about in the boat. They at length were refreshed by sleep, and gradually recovered. Nothing could exceed the kindness which they re ceived on beard the Naturalist. It seems that the boat was seen by a passing vessel, since arrived in London, on the day after their own ship foundered, but it being thought or represented that they might be pirates, the ship sailed away without rendering them help. At that time the whole of the 16 men were alive in the boat, but the want of food and water and the intense heat soon began to tell upon them, and they one by one perished, as before nar rated.

To the Secretary of the Admiralty, Whitehall, London, H.M.S. Wasp, Seychelles, May 26, 1865. Sir,—ln obedience to your orders of the 12th May, I proceeded with the pinnace and first cutter, manned and armed, to endeavour to intercept a dhow which was to sail from Zanzibar the same evening. On leaving the ship I at once sent Lieut. Charles B. Thoobald, in the pinnaco, down to Chapney Island, giving him directions to look out for the dhow, and also for me in the cutter. I then went in to where the dhow was at anchor, at sunset, but found that she had sailed. On inquiring on board another small dhow, I heard that she had sailed about half an hour with only part of her slaves on board, and that the rest had gone after her in three large canoes. I immediately proceeded to pick up the pinnace, and having come to the conclusion that she must have anchored somewhere close in shore to receive these slaves, I proceeded, in company with pinnaco, to search the shore, intending to go down to Cockotoni, if we did not find her in our way, the pinnace being about a mile from the shore, and the cutter about a half a mile. After proceeding about two miles, I observed a canoe in shore of me, and immediately chased her ; as soon as she saw mo she made for the shore,and reaching it all the crew ran into the bush. I searched the canoe and found in it several baskets of yams and a copper kettle, and from what the interpreter said I had no doubt she was one of the three canoes. I took her in tow and shoved off, and just as I hoisted the sail, I observed a sail coming round the point, and stood off towards her. As I closed her I saw that it was a large dhow with her sail half hoisted, apparently looking for something. When I was within 200 yards of her she appeared to make me out, and hoisted her sail, at the same time firing at me. I at once chased and commenced firing at her, she returning it, and finding that the cutter was sailing faster than the dhow, I kept about 80 yards astern of her, intending to wait for the pinnace. After chasing her about half a mile I observed the pinuace commence firing on her from some distance ahead, and at once got the oars out. About ten minutes after I saw the pinnace close to the dhow, and almost im mediately she boarded her on the port bow. lat once boarded with the cutter on the starboard quarter, and after about ten minutes severe fighting we succeeded in captur ing her, many of her crew jumping overboard, and, owing to the darkness, succeeded in cutting the boat away from the stern of the dhow, and escaping in her. 1 must leave Lieutenant Theobald to finish this report, as I regret to say I became insensible from loss of blood, and on coming to I found myself in the cutter with several wounded men, on our way to the ship, which we reached at 7.30 a.m., on the 13th. I have now only to say, that it is my firm conviction we should never have captured her if Lieutenant Theobald had not at once stood across to cut her off on seeing the firing, and then without hesitation boarded. I wish also to bring to your notice the manner in which Mr. W. Wilson, midshipman, John Williams, able seaman and coxswain of the cutter, and Charles Proudley, yeoman of storeroom; behaved—the latter saved my life, when, owing to loss of blood and my sword being broken, I was hardly able to defend myself.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHARLES C.

I sent the cutter, with Lieutenant Rising and the worst of the wounded, back to the ship, with a request for assist ance to be sent to me as soon as possible ; I then got un derway in the dhow, with pinnace in tow, and stood over to the African coast until shortly before daylight, when I wore, and seeing the ship coming towards us, I anchored the dhow close to Chapney Island, and returned on board at 11.30 a.m. In conclusion, I beg to call your attention to tho gallant behaviour of Mr. J.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Thursday morning Mr. Priest, who is a very hard-working respectable man, left his home, in the village of Worfield, at 6 o'clock in the morning, leaving his wife and one child (about 18 months old) in bed together, and two children iu bed in an adjoining room. He had not been gone long before the woman went into the next room to her other children with a gash in her throat and the blood rushing out. The children of course raised an alarm, and some neighbours went iu. They found the child (the one 18 months old) in bed with its throat cut, and quite dead, and the mother apparently dying. Dr. Thursfield, of Bridgnorth, was sent for, but when he got there the woman had ceased to exist. There is no reason to assign for this unnatural act on the mother's part. She had been cautioned by the doctors not to stickle her child so much.—Birmingham Poet. A despatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received from Captain Bowden, of her Majesty's ship Wasp : Sir,—ln compliance with article 31, page 5, of the Slave Trade Instructions, I have the honour to report that, on the night of the 12th May, an Arab dhow was captured by the pinnace and cutter of this ship, under the charge of Lieutenant Charles C. Rising, at a distance of from eight to ten miles from the port of Zanzibar, with 283 slaves on board. She had a large crew of northern Arabs, who made a desperate resistance, but owing to the gallantry displayed by the officers, whose names aro in the margin,* and their boats' crews, the vessel was carried, the Arabs taking to the sea, and to a boat they cut from the stern, but leaving S dead and 13 prisoners. I regret to say that John New (coxwain of pinnace), the first to board, was killed, and three officers and eight men wounded. I cannot speak too highly of the judicious way in which the attack was conducted, and the gallantry displayed by Lieutenant Rising, who has received three very severe wounds. THIRD EDl'ffoTi.

A TICKET-OF -LEAVE " GENTLE3fAN."—Sometime ago the proceedings of a ticket-of -leave man at Cork wore noticed in these columns. He worked his way into the best society in the city by representing himself to be a gentleman and an owner of racehorses, ex. Having been found out by the Cork police, he was taken into custody, but on the way to the station escaped from the officer who had him in charge, leaving behind him in Cork three horses he had bought there. The constable who had been stationed in Drogheda during the election recognised him on Monday there drinking in a public-house, and imme diately arrested him on a charge of burglary and robbery of 450 from a Meath gentleman some months since. Upon being brought up before the mayor on the following day, h e presen fa t s e h d ilo a na n b r gentlemanly ble stated thatlecmonanstlayappearaneebeing dressed the pri soner very was a ticket-of-leave man, and that since he had got out he was accused of several robberies, and that he (the constable) had been on his track since May, and that although he got himself into such high circles, he was only the son of a labouring man residing in Meath. When he arrested him he had £2O in his possession. The prisoner was committed to Trim gaol. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--AS some labourers were doing some repairs yesterday afternoon, on the top of the Exeter Hall Hotel, one of the vases accidentally fell into the Strand, and fractured the skull of a respectable young man who was pass ing along at the time. On inquiring of Mr. Child, the house-surgeon at Charing-cross Hospital, at half-past six last evening, our re porter was informed that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery, as his skull was fractured in four places. He has been quite insen sible since his admission to the hospital. EARTHQUAKE IN STYRIA.—VIENNA, July 18.—At 10 minutes to six on the evening of the 13th inst. a severe shook of earthquake visited the town of Pollan, in Styria, and its environs. The shock was felt in a north-- westerly direction, and was accompanied by very strong un dulatory motions,which continued for about three seconds. Another shock was experienced the next morning at a quarter to 10 o'clock, but was weaker than that of the pre vious night. !Shocks were likewise felt on the same day at about the same time in Hartberg and Fehring. Three shocks occurred on the 13th at two minutes past 6 in the evening at Furstenfeld, having a north-easterly direction. By the last of these, which foll owe d eac h o th er in rapid succession, the walls of several buildings were cracked.— Reider's Express. THE SIAMESE FLEET. —The King of Siam has just ordered the reorganisation of his fleet, and has decided on ordering a corvette and four gunboats, all iron -cased, to be constructed in France. These vessels are intended to act against the numerous pirates which are incessantly ravaging the coast of his territory. A few months back these 'marauders appeared in the Gulf of Siam with 50 junks, and ascended the Meinam, spreading alarm even as far as the capital. EXTENDED SUFFRAGE.—Mr. Lowe, M.P., in his speech at Caine, said ironically of the elective franchise : " Why stop at the ladies ? It was an old story in Greece that Themistocles was governed by his wife, that his wif• was governed by the child, and that, therefore, the child of Themistocles governed Greece. As children exercised so potential an influence, why not give them a voice in the representation ? Only the ballot should be applied lest they should be subjected to the illegitimate influence of their nurses." reat care should be taken in the present hot weather to bury all dead animals without loss of time. Several cases of carbuncle have already occurred from stings by flies which had fed on putrid bodies. person, named Perrault, at Iruisseau-sur-Mauves (Loiret), was only saved by his own presence of mind with a certain courage. Having been stung on his light cheek bytt venomous insect, he at once made a deep incision in the flesh with a pair of scissors, in order to allow the blood to flow from the wound and prevent tho inoculation of the poison, and some compresses of ammoniac water being applied to the place, the swelling and pain, which had already commenced, disappeared in a few hours, and the sufferer appears to be now quite out of danger. Other cases hay's occurred at Couhniers and Meuog, in the same department, but by a prompt application of remedies, cures were effected.— Galignani. 10') all 5 100 all ',
