The Court sat for the first time this day since the end of the long vacation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, BOW-STREET. Charlotte Thompson, the daughtet of a boarding-house keeper in Norfolk-street, was charged with stealing some wine, the property , of Mr. Mackie, who lodged in the house. Mr. Mackie said in September last ho went out of town, and on his return he found a bottle of port had been taken from his cheffionier. Ho was told the prisoner had stolen it, and out of copsideration for her mother he forgave her. On Wednesday morning last he again found the cheffionier had been forcibly opened and another bottle taken, and as it was the wish of the mother he prosecuted in the present ease, as it appeared to be the only way to cure her of her propensity for drink. Mr. Vaughan—When did you give her into custody ? Witness replied, when he returned last night. She went out in the morning and returned drunk in the even ing. When she was accused of stealing the wine she, with an oath, denied it. Elizabeth Arnold, housemaid at No: 5, Norfolk-stroet, said she found Mr. Mackie's cheffionier broken open on Wednesday last, and some wine had been taken away. At that time the prisoner was in the kitchen with her mother, the worse for drink. She went down to get the key of Mr. Mackie's room, to lock it up. - She did not speak to the prisoner, but told her mother. Yesterday morning, when she got up she found the prisoner absent from her bedroom, and she must have got up early and gone out. On the bottom of the flight of stairs she found an empty wine bottle concealed amongst some brushes. She recognised it as one of Mr. Mackie's bottle by the seal. When the prisoner came home she was the worse for liquor, not so bad as drunk, but not sober. She told her she had been at Mr. Mackie's wine, but she denied it. Mr. Vaughan—What do you know of the former case ? Witness said she saw her on the Wednesday morning coming out of her bed-room tipsy and partly undressed. She had a bottle which contained wine, from which she was drinking. She went up to her and told her she had been at Mr. Mackie's wine, but she again denied it. Mr. Humphries, the second clerk—How did you know it was Mr. Mackie's wine ? Witness said she knew it by the seal. The prisoner's room was next to Mr. Mackie's, both being in the front and top of the house. She had got out of the window, crawled alone the varagot, and entered by the window of Mr. .Mackie's room. After returning to her own room she had washed her soiled garments, in order that witness might not see the marks of her progress along the parapet. Mr. Humphries reminded the magistrate that the prisoner had been promised forgiveness. The prosecutor said he only meant to convey that he had not condoned the matter by saying ho would forgive her. The prisoner denied the charge, and said things were often missed from the house, but she did not take them. What she had taken to drink she had paid for. Mr. Vaughan remanded the prisoner for further evi dence. The Correspondence of Voltaire (From the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) It would.seem that the correspondence of Vol taire is inexhaustible, and that letters of his will continue to be discovered in some corner or other to the end of time. The Revue Francaise publishes 25 epistles addressed by the " Patriarch of Ferney" to the Margravine of Brandenburg-Baireuth, Fre derica Wilhelmina, sister. of Frederick the Great, and which the writer in the Revue affirms have been lately discovered " among the papers of a rich and noble family." These letters, supposing them genuine, contain, howeVer, nothing remarkable. One, written while on his way back to France after the rupture with his royal friend, runs thus : " The Duchess of Gotha has just filled me with surprise and gratitude by telling me that she has charged M. de Gotha to speak to the King, your brother, and to implore your protection in my favour with his Majesty. Your Royal Highness knows that I never desired any other than yours. But for the fatal circumstance, and the unlucky , journey of my niece, I should have gone from Leip sic to Baireuth to throw myself at your feet. The evil is done ; but is it without remedy? Can the philosophy of the King, your humanity, your coun sels, your prayers, do nothing ? Who can speak the truth to a great man, if it be not you ? I admit, I have said, I have written to the King, and I shall say so all my life, that I was wrong to be obstinate; but, Madame, is this an affair of State? It is but a puerility of literature, a quarrel abOut algebra, a minimum—and it is for that that I have been kept six weeks a prisoner at Frankfort, that I have missed the season of the waters with my frightful malady; that my niece has been dragged by soldiers through the streets of Frankfort ; that a wretch sent away all her servants, and attempted to out rage her. These acts of violence were committed by one Freiatag, who calls himself the King's Minister. The King does, not know that this same man was condemned to an ignoble punish ment in Dresden. All these frightful circumstances are known in every Court, but perhaps his Majesty does not know them. And as for me, Madame, what is my situation ? lam old and in firm. I sacrificed to the King the last years of my life, and I lived for him alone three years. All my time was divided between him and my work. I abandoned everything for him and he knows it; and does he only bear in mind an unlucky, literary quar rel ? I must toll you the truth ; your royal high ness is worthy of hearing it. All the evil comes from the letter which the King printed against Koenig and myself at a time when he was not rightly informed of the - dispute. I do not say this to extenuate my fault. I shall always admit that I was wrong in not holding my tongue, and in being obstinate ; but 15 years of the most tender attach ment ought surely to weigh something against a mo ment of ill humour. I leave your royal highness to judge of the matter. I ask you if there is not glory in so great a man forgetting one fault, and bearing in mind so many services? Shall so many monu ments of the correspondence with which the King has honoured me, and of my idolatry for him, go down to posterity, only that posterity should say, All has ended in a prison, and in outrages on an inno cent woman ?' Ah, Madame, is there no glory but that of having a fine army ? The King, your brother, loves true glory, and he merits it. He loves you, and he should believe what you say. It is for you, Madame, to prove the greatness of your soul, and to touch his. Do whatever you please I place myself entirely in your hands. Ido not speak to your Royal Highness of all that is said at Versailles, Vienna, Paris, and London ; it is only your heart that you . must listen to ; and it is only to the heart of the King that you must speak. You cannot but touch him, since you have resolved to do so. My heart will be for ever penetrated with the profoundest and most tender respect for your Royal Highness. , • Will your 'Royal Highness permit me to place at the feet of t lonseigneur, " Formerly Brother, " VOLTAIRE ?" The following letter appears from five of the pri soners confined in Sainte Pelagic : " Some of the prisoners attacked with diarrhoea, or colic, have been admitted into the infirmary of Sainte Pelagic. Those who have relations here will certainly have heard of it. As they may feel alarmed at this moment of sickness, we think it right to give some information, which we request you to publish. It will serve to tranquillize that part of the population interested in knowing the truth. Five or six persons have been suffering for the last three days from gastric and intestinal de rangements, but with none of the characteristics of cholera. These patients, treated with the greatest skill by Dr. Philippart and M. Patti, head apothe cary of the prison, are recovered or in a fair way of recovery. One only sank rapidly. It is right to say that this man was attacked under circumstances most unfavourable for the treatment of such a dis ease. He was in an underground cell. The humidity of such a place, the wart of exercise, food consisting only of bread and water, are not calculated to enable the constitution to resist the malady, but rather the contrary. The prisoners in general, not possessing resources to improve their position, are in a condi tion to predispose them to gastro-intestinalderange ments even in ordinary weather, and they are still more liable to contract them in a wet or cold season. The regimen to which the most of them are subject is in itself sufficient to explain the cause. For this reason it would be a great mistake to attribute it to the prevailing epidemic. In order to fully justify this observation, and to explain it clearly', it may be use ful to describe this regimen in a few words. When the prisoners are not employed in the workshops, they remain in the court-yard in the open air, and without any shelter. There are cer tainly two heated rooms, common to all the prisoners, and capable of containing from 20 to 30 persons each, but they are quite insufficient to re ceive at least 600 prisoners confined in Sainte Pelagie. There is no occasion to enlarge on this fact ; it is not new for the public. The opposition members men tioned it in the Chamber of Deputies the last Session. Nothing has been yet said as to the food. The ques tion, of first-rate importance, merits serious examina tion. In order to explain it it would not be necessary to enter into minute details. It is sufficient to state that a speculating contractor receives 16c. (Id.) per man per day to feed him.. It must be under stood that bread is not included. The authorities undertake to have the bread made at the female prison of St. Lazare, whence it is brought to St. Pelagie. Are 16c. sufficient to feed a man, exclu sive of bread, especially when the profit the con tractor has a right to expect is deducted ? Wishing to give this note its real signification, we declare that we have personally no interest in the question. The regime imposed on political prisoners is, with out being perfect, better than that on which prisoners of another class are forced to live. order to give a proof of justice and impartiality,n we even declare that, lodged in the eastern wing of the prison, we are in a very healthy position. But this consideration cannot make us silent on a sub ject which we regard as a question of humanity. We consider it a duty to publicly urge necessary and urgent reforms in the prison system for the sake of the unfortunate men who have so many other misfortunes to support." It was recently announced that, in accordance with orders from the Empress, the juvenile convicts at La Roquette were removed from that prison and sent to penitentiary farms in different parts of the country. Most satisfactory accounts have now been received from one of the establishments at Vail hauques (II erault). The children already there welcomed the recent arrivals with great cordiality. The paternal but firm system acted on, and the somewhat military organisation established there, has increased the feeling of self-respect of the new corners. The lads are active and intelligent, and show great aptitude in the use of implements with which they were before quite unacquainted. They besides take a pleasure in the agricultural labours, and do not regret their former life; they also enjoy the partial liberty in which they live. The success of the experiment will be a .source of gratification to the Empress, to whose generous solicitude it is due. The Archduchess Mathilda, second daughter of the Archduke Albert of Austria, and the . Princess Hildegarde of Bavaria, has just been confirmed by Archbishop Rauscher, in the chapel of the palace of Burg, in presence of the whole Court. Lord Palmerston. A writer in the present number of Fraser's Maga zine records numerous anecdotes illustrative of Lord Palmerston's character, from which we make the following extracts : Every one has heard the story of Sheridan's din ner party, at which the sheriff's officers acted as waiters. On its being mentioned as apocryphal at Brockett, " Not at all," exclaimed Lord Palmerston, "I was atit. Sheridan, Canning, Frere, and some others, including myself, had agreed to form a society (projected, you r may remember, by Swift) for the improvement of the English language. We were to give dinnersinturn ; Sheridan gave the first ; and my attention was attracted to the peculiarity of the attendance by the frequent appeals on the part of the improvised servants to Mr. Sheridan.' " " And did you improve the language ? " " Not certainly at that dinner; for Sheridan got drunk, and a good many words of doubtful pro priety were employed." He was purist in language, grammar, and ortho graphy, and some curious illustrations of his zeal for their reformation are preserved in the Foreign office. He had a confirmed dislike to " that that" and " had had ;" as in a sentence thus constructed : " It was said that that general had had a check." In the last speech from the throne her Majesty is made to say that \ she had great satisfaction in recur ring again to her Parliament. Some of the literary men objected, and their objection was stated to - Lord Palmerston one evening (February 10), when he had been' unexpectedly detained in the House of Commons, and had only just risen from an eleven o'clock dinner. He defended the expression, and maintained the argument with unabated spirit till the subject was dropped. The next mornng, before ten, the objector received the following memoran dum, written in the Premier's clear, bold, well known hand : " JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY. " ' In this Life the Thoughts of God and a future State often offer themselves to us. They often spring up in our minds, and when expelled recur again:—Calanty. " One 'meaning of Recur' is to have Recourse to,' and it is perfectly good English to say I have Recourse to you again.' " Etymologically, to recur' is to run back,' and one may with Propriety say I run back, or come back, to you again. " The Queen recurs or comes back to her Parlia ment at the ciad of every Recess, and she does again that which she has done before." . . . " He was as much at home in Italian as in Eng lish ; and some amusement wan caused in the House of Commons by his correction of his accomplished friend, Mr. Monckton Milnes (Lord Houghton), who unluckily said Cagliari instead of Cagliai. . . . His company hours were materially curtailed by business, but, from the Moment he joined the circle till he left it, he was always ready to amuse and be amused ; he was never out of temper or out of spirits, never inattentive, absent, or pre-occupied the dis tinctive good breeding of working statesmen, as punctuality is the good breeding of kings. He listened as well as he talked ; he thoroughly enjoyed good conversation ; and he liked it the better for being enlivened with fancy and fun. He told a story capitally, frequently with an apropos, which brought its application within Barrow's somewhat large and elastic description of wit. " If (says Sydney Smith) I say a good thing to day, and repeat it again to-morrow in another com pany, the flash of to-day is as much the flash of to morrow as the flash of one musket is the flash of another; but if I tell a humorous story there are a thousand little diversities in my voice, manner, lan guage, and gestures which indicate a rather different thing from what it was before, and infuse a tinge of novelty into the repeated narrative." Thus was it with Lord Palmerston, and his best anecdotes, when he could be coaxed into repeating them, had always a fresh zest. His play of mind was equally effective in catching and improving any passing drollery or humorous thought. When Lord D erby's translation of the Iliad was first announced, a gaest at Broadlands told him he must keep pace with his great rival by translating the "Eneid. " Stop till I am out of office, and theparallel will be complete." He laughingly quoted the authority of an emi nent physician, that continuance in office, with the resulting employment, NA as good for the health. " Would not active opposition do as well ?" " No, no ; that stirs up the bile and creates acidity. Ask Disraeli if it does not." Nothing, by the way, created acidity in him ; he never said or sanctioned an ill-natured remark on anybody. On being told that a clever assailant Jegretted a personal attack, he said, " Tell him I am not the least offended—the more particularly because I think I had the best of it." It was mentioned to him that his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir George Lewis, had been writing letters to Notes and Queries on " The Wakefulness of Geese." " The wakefulness of geese ! Why the Opposition will think he means them ; and (what is worse) they may say they are the geese that saved the Capitol." A couple were censured for going to country houses without an invitation. " Don't be hard on them," was his suggestion, " for if they waited to be invited, they might go nowhere." On its being stated as a good sign that Lady was only attended by a popular physician, who shall be nameless, he said, " Ah, very true, when you trust yourself to Dr. you should have a super fluous stock of health for him to work upon." When at Broadlands, he was a regular attendant at Romsey church, but was occasionally late. Once, when he did not appear till towards the end of the second lesson, the sermon was more than ordinarily long, which a guest attributed to the complacent consideration of the clergyman, who was determined that his lordship should gain in one way what he lost in another. " I never saw it in that light before. I will take good care not to tax his kindness again." BUSINESS OP •THE COURT. From an analysis of the list of cases for the current term, it appears that there aro a large number of probate causes, and 69 new and 24 standing-over cases set down for hearing. The amount of divorce causes is rather under the aver age. There are 17 set down for hearing by common juries ; the remainder are to be heard before the learned Judge Ordinary without juries. The Court was occupied during the day in • hearing a disputed will case, which was of no interest. The judges in the other courts, in consequence of at tending the fune►al of the late Justice Crompton at Wil lesden Churchyard, did not take their seats until nearly two o'clock. The greatest inconvenience was occasioned to the jurors who had been summoned for the day, as the jury cases were adjourned until to-morro dr. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE SIR R. NICHOLSON. This bankrupt, whose case has been before the Court for some time, and who has made repeated unsuccessful at tempts to obtain his order of release, applied again this morning io Mr. Registrar Winslow. Mr. Lawrence, in support of the application, urged the length of time the bankrupt had been in prison, and pointed out that he really had, in spite of all obstacles, endeavoured to furnish satisfactory accounts. The debts wero all trade debts, and there could be now no reason why the bankrupt should be any longer kept in prison. He had been adju dicated a bankrupt by the Registrar at the usual monthly clearances some five months ago, and he had beenin prison ever since. Mr. Sasgood opposed for two creditors, and his Honour remarked upon thd absence of detailed accounts. Mr. Lawrence observed that the bankrupt had prepared such accounts'is he was able. His Honour said that the bankrupt had applied, unsuc cessfully, to himself in the first instance,.to Mr. Commis sionor 11.1.. yd, them to Mr. Cunituiboluiler Goulburn. and now to himself again ; but he could not be released from custody until he had filed proper accounts. There were two statements pled by the bankrupt upon which the cre ditors were entitled to be informed. In the first place, he claimed property worth £3,000 per annum in Scotland, and on the second property in Van Diemen's Land, valued at £2OO per annum. Upon these items the bankrupt must furnish a full statement, after which he could apply again. Application again refused. - SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) SMITH T. JACKSON. This was an action to recover a sum of money as the balance of an amount to be paid upon the transfer of a certain beershop. The plaintiff stated that when the house was transferred to the defendant he paid for everything but the gas and a cask of beer. His Honour asked defendant what he had to say ? Defendant—l admit owing for the gas, but not for any beer, as the brewers manager! . all that. Plaintiff—Oh ! dear no, for the brewers do not recognise the beer I mean. His Holseut—What beer was it then ? Plaintiff—A cask of black beer. His Hohour—Black beer ! What is that ? Plaintiff—lt is what all beershop-keepers use for colour ing the beer. His Honour—Colouring the beer, indeed. In my opinion it is used for adulterating it. Plaintiff—lt is always used. His Honour—Well, if it is always used I shall not allow for it, and certainly will not for one moment uphold adul teration in any shape. I shall find a verdict for the amount claimed as due for gas, but no more, as it is clearly a fact that this black beer is used for an improper purpose. Verdict for plaintiff for gas only. Startling Accident at the Great Northern Terminus• - .11.- The King's-cross Terminus of the Great Nor thern Railway was last evening the scene of a start ling accident. Shortly before 6 o'clock a loaded coal train without an engine dashed through the station on the London side metals, which were for tunately clear at the moment, and bursting over the " blind buffer" at the end of the platform, lodged five of the trucks on the platform level, the end truck being brought to a stop in the middle of the public road. Two explanations are given of the manner in which the accident happened. One is that the driver of the goods train, which consisted of about 30 trucks, all loaded, stopped at Holloway, and detached his engine for some purpose, " spragging" the trucks meanwhile, and on going back with the engine he " unspragged" the train, but forgot to couple the engine to it, so that when he started for the London goods department the trucks followed by reason of the incline. His entering the Holloway tunnel prevented him from seeing that the train was not behind, and when he came out of the tunnel, and had passed on the goods line, the points man reversed the points in time to allow the follow ing train to go on the passenger line, which it did at full speed, there being only the brake van in the rear, the guard in which vainly endeavoured to break the speed of the trucks. The other explana tion is that the train uncoupled in the tunnel, and the foremost part having passed on the goods line, the points were reversed, and the other portion of it ran on as described. It is a most fortunate circumstance that the line was at the time quite clear. A train had only been shunted off the station about three minutes before the accident happened, and the chances were that an unexpected train would have come into collision with an unloading passenger train. It is stated that only one person was injured, and that a little boy, the son of one of the officialF, who was knocked over by the leading truck. The accident created a very great excitement in the neighbourhood, and attracted a great number of underway by a lsapregcet a b t o o r d s y , owfh thew ere y d kept ivis i o o u n t o o f f p h o a l r i in c ;apse: night g r s h tF until a n z t e i l r a a n l d at ß e a b r o b n e r r B. in T r h e e m m o v e w g e t r n e e a t t r n w e o k r s k , which was found a dangerous and difficult work, the wheels of the five which mounted the platform level being broken off, and the ponderous vehicles had to be dragged in over the torn-up ground.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PROCURING ADMISSION TO A WORKHOUSE BY FALSE AND FRAUDULENT PRETENCES.—EIIen Newnham, a wretched looking woman, was charged before Mr. Barker with pro curing admission to St.,Martin's Workhouse by means of false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Dack, the porter of St-Martin's Workhouse, said that yesterday evening the prisoner, who was in a filthy condition, came to the workhouse and stated that she was destitute, and asked to be admitted. He at once admitted her; when it came to her turn to have a bath she refused, and as she on Tuesday last, when she was also admitted, refused to have a bath, and that he had reason to believe that she had money secreted about her, and that she was fearful of its being discovered, he had her clothes searched, when lls. 10d., in gold and silver, was found upon her. Mr. Barker asked the witness whether he asked the prisoner if she had any money about her, and the witness said he did, and that she said she had not got any. Mr. Hislop, the master of the workhouse, said he heard the . prisoner distinctly asked if she had any money about hear, and beard her say " No," and, as she was suspected of having money about her when at the workhouse on a former occasion, he ordered her to be searched, and lls. 10d. was found in her clothes. The prisoner said that if she did have a night's lodging, sho had to do some work for it. She only went for a lodging, and had to pick a pound of oakum in return for it. Mr. Barker committed the prisoner for 14 days with hard labour, and told her that the money found upon her Auld be restored to her when she came out of prison. THAMES. DESERTING A WIFE AND FAMILY.—James C. Wilson, man who formerly held a good position in the parish of All Saints, Poplar, was brought up on a warrant before Mr, Partridge charged with deserting his wife and children and leaving them chargeable to the parish of Bromley St. Leonard, Poplar Union. The prisoner, who is married to a lady of high respecta bility, the daughter of a wealthy and retired tradesman, was convicted some time ago for assaulting his wife and sent to prison. Mr. Spratly, relieving-officer of Bromley, said the prisoner had since his release from gaol refused to maintain hie wife and Ho had an interview with the prisoner, who said that he could not maintain his wife and family for ss. per day, which was all he earned. The prisoner had an interview with the Board of Guardians on the following day, and they endeavoured to persuade him to make an arrangement. The prisoner most positively refused to come to any arrangement whatever. The parish had allowed Mrs. Wilson and her family 7s. 10d. per week for the last four months. Mr. Partridge—How can five persons live upon that sum ? Mr. Spratley;—The wife has some other resources. Mr. John James Pritchard, a gentleman residing in Pritchard-street, Stainsby-road, was present at the mar riage of his sister to the prisoner on the 29th April, 1851. The prisoner could maintian his wife and family but he squandered his earnings in drink. Ultimately an arrangement was come to, whereby the defendant agreed to allow his wife 10s. per week. THE FARMER'S ALMANAC.—" The Farmer's Alma nac and Calendar for 1866" has just been published, and, like all its predecessors, it is full of valuable information, both practical and statistical. The agricultural notes are clearly and concisely written, and many are the novel and serviceable hints con tained therein. The Almanac treats on nearly 200 different subjects, all of which will be found of in terest to the agricultural population of the United Kingdom. M. GOURLAY'S ENTERTAINMENT.--The last representation of Mr. and Mrs. Gourlay's entertainment in London is fix e d f or M on d ay even i ng nex t, on w hi c h occa sion Lord Elcho and the officers and members of the London Scottish Volunteers will attend.

Courses, and divided comprised threedistinct sittings. At the first sitting the courses consisted of soups and almost numberless "made dishes," into the composition of which entered fish, flesh, fowl, and vegetable substances in a thousand forms undreamt of to French cooks and Caucas sian housewives genes ally. The famous " bird-nest soup," which was pronounced delicious by all who partook of it and a vast number of sweetmeats and preserves of different fruits were included in these courses. No knives, forks, or spoons of our patterns were upon the tables at the first two sittings, chop sticks and the short thick China spoons or scoops being what each guest was expected to help himself with. The efforts of the uninitiated guests to master the chop-sticks and convey the food to their mouths with them created a vast amount of amusement to the company, and sometimes not a little mortification to the most awkward of the party. Some of the guests soon got "the hang of the things," while others, after repeated failures, gave up the attempt, and contented themselves with spearing the mor sels of food with a single stick, as an Esquimaux would harpoon a walrus, or a schoolboy impale an unlucky blue bottle on a pin. Champagne, claret, and the finer qualities of Chinese rose-coloured wines were served in profusion with every course. At the last sitting fruit only was served, all the varieties in the market being included in the list. At the end of each sitting the tables were entirely cleared, and the company adjourned to the recep tion room to smoke and pass away the time until the next was announced. At the end of the first sitting the six pre sidents paid their formal compliments to Colfax and party, thanking them for their attendance, in oriental style, through their interpreter, and receiving the thanks of their guests in return, and then took their leave according to the "statutes in su ch cases made and provided," and every where recognised as rules of action by the Chinese. A Chinese band was now introduced, and the guests were amused and interested by their peculiar performance, until the tables wore ready for the second sitting. During the second sitting a deputation of the merchants approached Colfax and Governor Bross, and presented their compli ments, welcoming them to the feast, and expressing their appreciation of the honour done them by their presence. li e d in short speeches, which wore trans- The gentlemen rep then r 1 lated by the interpreter, and the merc hants t. ire( At the end of this sitting the company were entertained in the reception room with a Chinese historical recitative song, accompanied by the music of a full baud ; and six visiting cards conveying the compliments of the six companies were presented to Colfax "for his high consideration." At the end of the third and last sitting - a committee of the com panies again approached Colfax and party, andrepeating the thanks for the honour of their country, expressed their re gret at not being able to furnish a more sumptuous repast. Colfax returned thanks for the honour done himself and friends, and said be was unable to conceive of a possibility of a more sumptuous repast being provided. A general skaking of hands and exchange of compliments followed, and the company separated at 12 o'clock, the dinner having occupied a few minutes less than six hours.—Alba California. Molecular Composition. For many years past M. Gaudin, one of the cal culators of the Bureaux des Longitudes, has been engaged in a series of ingenious attempts to unravel the mystery of the molecular composition of bodies, that is, to represent a molecule, or minute particle of a substance in chemical atoms, such as it is. It is not easy to give a clear idea of his system with out diagrams ; we will, however, attempt to do so, by stating that all vegetable substances without exception are invariably composed of at least three elements—carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, with possibly a fourth—nitrogen. But these elements are variously combined in each body— carbon and oxygen, for instance, under the f orm of carbonic acid may exist in it d;ox oxygen and hydrogen under the form of water ; nitrogen and hydrogen undea the form of ammonia, &c. Or the combinations may be more complex still, since vege table matter, such as we receive it from nature, also contains certain metals, such as potassium, for in stance ; and what we have said of vegetable sub stances applies equally to animal ones, the two kinds constituting the bodies which form the subject of organic chemistry. Now, suppose we take an in finitesimal particle of sugar, for instance, and callit a molecule ; this particle, small as it is, contains all the three elements, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, viz., six of the first, and five of each of the other two. Each of these parts is called an atom, so that the molecule in question contains ten atoms altogether, but of three different substances. But it so happens that, if you take a molecule of starch instead of sugar, you will also find in it six atoms of carbon, five of hydrogen, and five of oxygen, and the same composition will also exist in wood. Sugar, starch, and wood are what are called isomeric bodies, because they contain the same atoms of the same elements. To explain the great difference which exists between the properties of these substances, notwithstanding their identical chemical constitution, nothing remains but t o attri bute it to the arrangement of the atoms, an arrange ment which, if it exists in one molec u l e must exist in exactly the same order in each of the other mole cules of the same substance. Now, it is these different arrangements, in the most complex bodies imaginable, that M. Gaudin has succeeded in repre senting in relief, after thirty-five years' intense study and application.—Galignani. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderato. Tho trade was firm for all qualities, and in some instances higher prices than on Monday wore demanded. The condition of the produce was tolerably good. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. Most descriptions were in steady request, and the quota tions ruled very firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, a ex xeme rates. Tho supply of barley on sale was very moderate. The trade was very firm, and the late advance in prices fully supported. hr alt sold steadily, at the full prices of Monday. The supply of oats on sale was but moderate.
