The money market is in an easy condition, and accommodation is obtainable and in some in stances 4, per centjbelow the official minimum. The demand for money is nevertheless active owing to the settlement to-day at the Stock Exchange. A report has been issued by the Cambrian Gold Mining Company, which is to be presented to the sharehotders on the 21st inst. It recommends a dissolution of the concern. The directors of the Alhambra Company have announced that the subscription list will close on Monday next, the 20th inst., for London, and on Tuesday, the 21st, for the country. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse, yesterday, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Reutes were 68 20. All offered. Few dealings are recorded in the official list; of the Stock Exchange to-day except in connection with the fortnightly liquidation in foreign securi ties and the various share departments. Quotations, however, are by no means unfavourable, notwith standing high rates of continuation. Monetary, commercial, and political prospects at present show Ile discouraging feature, and affairs consequently appear healthy. Consols for transfer are at the present time 841, exhibiting an advance, and for the 7th proximo, ex div., 878 88.

This was a petition for dissolution of marriage presented by the wife against her husband.

FEE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1865. PARIS, Nov. 13. The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed a report to the Emperor, dated Nov. 8, recommend ing that, in the Paris International Exhibition of 1867, there should be a representation of the pro gress made by the moral and political sciences in France during the last 20 years, by means of a series of reports from eminent men upon the several branches of these subjects. The Minister's report is as follows : " Sire,—The idea of periOdical exhibitions is en tirely French. It dates from Louis XIV. for the fine arts, from the Revolution for trade, and France, after having given it to the world, has unceasingly enlarged its proportions in order to render it more fruitful. As far back as 16 years ago, sire, you wished to invite all the nations to these grand so lemnities. It was England who realised this idea, and saw the first International Exhibition. The palace in Hyde-park only received in 1851 objects furnished by nature herself or by human industry. In 1855 the Emperor decided that the two previous French exhibitions should be united. Art was placed side by side with manufactures. Amid the magni ficence displayed in London in 1862, it was recog nised that the most precious instrument of labour was still man, and that the productive value of the workman would be increased by augmenting his in tellectual value. The English commission created a special class of popular instruction with this same object ; the imperial commission has just established two. But international exhibitions tend to become the complete representation of modern society in all its modes of activity. After having placed art by the side of manufactures, which it embellishes and elevates, your Majesty wished to place pure science near the applications, which are only its outward manifestations. While the Emperor directs the study of the question which will lead to the discovery of that organisation which, since the destruction of corporations, the mercantile world has been con stantly seeking, you desire, sire, that it be demanded of the moral and political sciences what they have produced to ameliorate the state of society ; and of French literature what it has done to elevate the soul of the nation. The way of realising this idea is simple. Let the Emperor deign to authorise the Minister of Public Instruction to be an exhibitor. If his productions occupy a small space under a very modest form, they will none the less attract attention ; and I do not hesitate to say that several will survive the triumphs of their more brilliant neighbour,3, since the one much more than the other expresses the mind of France. I have al ready secured the support of eminent men, who will describe in a series of reports, bearing their signa ture, in order that each may have the honour, as the responsibility, of his work :-1. The progress accomplished in France in the mathematical, physi cal, and natural sciences during the last 20 years— that is to say, since the era of the great exhibitions. 2. The progress accomplished by the moral and po litical sciences in their application to the necessities of society. 3. The part fulfilled by French literature, which should be studied less in point of form, which is the mission of literary criticism, than in its effects upon the general education of the country. At the Exhibition palace, in the midst of those material products, which are a pledge of national welfare, the liberal arts can only enter by showing that they bring to a people not only noble amusement, but moral strength and dignity. The Emperor, whose solicitude extends from the simple teaching of the infant school to the highest speculations of science, cannot give a more useful encouragement to thelat ter than this picture of the efforts, the greatness, and even in certain points the defects, of the mind of France. If foreign nations thought fit to make a similar examination of themselves, it would no longer only be by the invention of each that all would profit. By a comparison of the progress accom plished in various parts in scientific and moral order, every people would enter the path of fresh progress, the level of civilisation would rise, and an addi tional guarantee would be given for the peace of the world.—l am, &c., " V. DURUM, The Minister of Public Instruction. (Approved) " NAPOLEON." A Self-Accused Murderess at Middlesbro% One of the most extraordinary cases of imposture that has come under our notice for some time has just occurred at South Stockton, where the police have been imposed upon by a young woman, who has proved herself a thorough adept in deception. On Saturday evening last one of the officers of the South Stockton force, whilst in Mandale-lane, near the town, found a young woman of rather respectable appearance, who seemed to be greatly distressed. The officer inquired what was the mat ter, but her replies were at first vague and unsatis factory. At length she told him she had taken a quantity of tincture of saffron to procure a miscar riage, and, as she really appeared to be very ill, a vehicle was procured, and she was conveyed to the police station. Here she repeated her story, and Mr. J. Lailer, surgeon, was sent for, and the drug not having been successful in effecting its pretended function, she seemed to get better slowly under medical care. In a day or two she seemed restored to good health, and she gave the people the startling intelligence that she was a murderess, having strangled and thrown the infant child into the river. She said she had been living for a week with a man at Middlesbro', who had left her, and that on the morning of last Saturday week she took her female child, aged twelve months, down to the ferry landing at Middlesbro', and after strangling it she threw it into the river, from the pontoon bridge. The cir cumstantial account she gave of the occurrence led everybody to believe her extraordinary statement, but no child could be found. On Thurs day she was taken before the magistrates at Yarm, charged, on her own confession, with the offence, but she was remanded. Inquiries have been made by the police as to her antecedents, and it turns out she is a well-known impostor. She gave the name of Mary Ann Taylor Ward, and that she came from Stafford, but this was untrue. She is a native of Burslem, in the Staffordshire Potteries, and her proper name is Mary Hutton. At the Quarter Sessions, at Stafford, in October, 1863, she was convicted in the name of Mary Ann James, alias Taylor, alias 'Williams, of being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond, after being before convicted of a similar offence, and was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. She had also been found at Wolverhampton, crying in the streets, threatening to destroy herself, saying she had come from Burslem with a young man, who, after giving her a drug to procure abortion, had deserted her. On another occasion she charged three men with having committed a rape upon her, when there was not the slightest ground for the charge. In May, 1863, she was found at Eccles hall, in Staffordshire, on a Sunday morning, when she appeared to be in such a state that a county magistrate and a magistrates' clerk were sent for out of church to take her dying depositions. In November last she was taken up at Blakenhall, Cheshire, when she pretended she had heen delivered of a child, and had thrown it into a pit, and that she had taken poison. These are only a few of her ex ploits which might be narrated. All who saw her before this information was received were so de ceived by her artless manner as to express their deepest pity for her condition. She is believed to be the same person who some time ago kept the police of four places all at one time making inqui ries into her pretended murders of her babes. She will no doubt be sent to prison again as a rogue and vagabond, and thus be kept for a time at least from imposing on the public with her shameful practices. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few d a y s th ere h as no t been much animation. Sugars, however, have been in better request, and prices have slightly improved. A steady demand has prevailed for tea at fully late rates, while a considerable business has been done in rice, chiefly for home consumption, at slightly higher prices. Tallow has been in more request, and prices have shown an upward tendency, BAINES V. BAINES. This was a petition presented by the wife against the husband praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion. _ The marriage having been proved, the following wit nesses were examined : Elizabeth Baines, the petitioner, said - after she was mar ried she continued to live at her father's house. Her hus band never came to see her after her marriage for more than three weeks. He wanted her father to find a home for her, but he of course refused, and after that he only came near her when he wanted her money. She on one occasion gave him some, and after that he went away, and she bad continued to live at her father's house ever since, which was about four years. . Ann Bettinson said she knew the respondent, who lived at Moorhouse, in Nottinghamshire, about two miles from her residence. She became acquainted with him about 4 years ago. He came to her father's house and told her he was unmarried. This witness proved the adultery against the respondent. The father of the last witness said he recollected Baines coming to see his daughter. He did not know then w he ther he was married or single, but he looked like a single man. (Laughter.) He said he wanted to become a suitor to his daughter. He remained there some hours and then left, and came again in a day or two after, during which time he (witness) discovered he was a married man. He ordered him off his land, and told him not to come there again. His lordship made a decree nisi with costs against the respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE WILSON. This bankrupt was described as a stockbroker, late of Austin-friars, and now of Crown-court, Threadneedle street, and to-day was appointed for the dividend meeting. The accounts show debts £24,888, with assets disclosing a deficiency of £21,481. Messrs. Lawrence, Plews, and Boyer are the solicitors to the petitioner, and there is about £1,250 ready for division. IN RE PERKINS. The bankrupt was described as a licensed victualler, for merly of the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, now of Brompton. The debts are only £650, and the largest creditor is Mr. Broadhead, of Cork Harbour, military store clerk, £370. The bankrupt attributes his failure to the refusal of the Earl of Cadogan to renew the lease of the Yorkshire Grey, for the goodwill and fixtures of which the bankrupt paid in April, 1862, £4OO. IN RE W. BLAKE. This bankrupt was described as a non-trader, formerly of Park-crescent, now of 28, New Styne, Brighton, and to day was appointed for considering a proposal to take the estate out of Court. The accounts show that the Marquis of Anglesea is a creditor for £33,181, for which he holds bonds and pro missory notes. Amongst the creditors who have proved are Mr. Skinner, £18,893 ; and Mr. Hancock, the well known jeweller, £4O. The total amount of the debts are about £GO,O 00, but it is understood that the estate will be wound up underjthe provisions of the 100th section of the Bankruptcy Act. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) DOGS AND CATS-CAUTION TO LADIES SROPPING-MORIAM V. FORBES. This was an action to recover 155., the value of a marble table top, which it was alleged that defendant's wife had broken. Plaintiff produced the pieces of the table top, and said that upon a .certain day Mrs. Forbes came into his shop and had nothing whatever to eat, but before they went out Mrs. Forbes knocked over one of the tables and broke it. His Honour—Well, Mrs. Forbes, what do you say to this ? Mr. Forbes—lt occurred in this way. I went into the plaintiff's shop with a zriend and my little dog—(a laugh) —and called for some ices, but it happened very unfortu nately that in the shop plaintiff kept a cat—(laughter)— and of course the dog flew at the cat, and the cat flew at the dog until there was a scene of great confusion. (Laughter.) Of course I went to save my dog and plaintiff wished to save his cat, and the result being that one of the tables was knocked over and the top broken. As this was an accident I thought I was not liable. His Honour—Oh, yes. It comes to this, that you must not take dogs, when you go out shopping, into shops where there are cats. (Laughter.) Your dog clearly had no right in the plaintiff's shop, and his cat had. Mrs. Forbes—'We are obliged to keep a dog to watch our property. _ _ His Honour—But you are not obliged to take it into the plaintiff's shop, and as the damage was caused by the in terference of your dog with plaintiff's cat, you are liable. Verdict for the plaintiff. Destruction of an Oil and Colour Warehouse by Fire. Late last night the inhabitants of Clapham were thrown into a state of the greatest excitement, in consequence of a breaking out in one of those buildings known to contain such a great quantity of combustible materials, viz., an oil, colour, and tallow warehouse. The premises in ques tion belonged to Mr. Saxby, and were situated at No. 3, Bromwoll's-road, Clapham. It appears that one of the warehousemen was in the act of drawing from a can some volatile oil or spirits, when the fumes came in contact with a light, and a general ignition of the con tents of the vessel followed. It then became apparent that the whole place was likely to be destroyed, and the customers in the shop wore obliged to make preci pitate retreats. The first thing sought to be accomplished was to roll out all the gunpowder on the premises, which was successful. Owing to the quantities of oil, candles, and other equally inflammable goods on the premises, the flames spread with amazing swiftness, and from the ware house they rapidly seized upon the upper floors, lapping round the furniture of every room, and were attack ing the first floor of No. 2, next door. The local engine quickly attended and rendered essential service in stopping the spreading of the flames in the direc tion of the contiguous houses. Had it not been for its services several other buildings unquestionably must have been reduced to ruins, for the nearest brigade stat ion was over three miles from the scene. The necessary informa tion having been forwarded to town the engines of the brigade, and the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., attended with as little delay as possible, and were set to work, the firemen labouring in an admirable manner, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the warehouse and the dwelling-house were entirely consumed and some damage done to No. 2 adjoining. The total loss is o of f l o the e sCounty promptlyire - ffi c i e n ' andve r m c o n n i darr, i a s b s l o o n . t t ler assessor , attendance to ascertain the amount of damage done, but as yet nothing definite can be learned. Conductor Ayes also attended with the Royal Society's escape. Another de structive fire happened on the premises of Mr. John Casey, a blacksmith, at Mile End-road, Conductor Rickett, quickly attended with the Royal Society's escape, and several en gines of the parish and Fire Brigade followed, including the land steamers by Shand, Mason and Co. Plenty of the East London Company's water having been procured, the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the mastery over the flames until the contents of the upper rooms were destroyed by fire, and the lower part of the building was damaged by water. The origin of the fire is also unknown. Fortunately the sufferer was insured. A GOLD TOWN IN NEW ZEALAND.—Hokitika is extending itself. Its principal street, Russell-street, is about half a mile long, and contains 264 buildings, sub stantial and commodious places of business, where mer chants and tradesmen of all classes exercise their daily duties. A traveller, whose letter appears in the Nelson Examiner, gives a few further interesting statistics of this place. There are, it appears, no fewer than 55 hotels in ilokitika, and two dancing saloons, but, owing to a want of the fair sex as partners, these latter are not extensively patronised. " There are 52 stores, consisting of wholesale merchants', drapers', ironmongers', commission and ship ping agents', grocers', and fruiterers', &c., oach and all apparently doing a thriving business—so much so that, owing to the late rushes to the Grey and the Totara, many of the wholesale men are completely cleaned out of stock. The butchers in this street are eight in number ; as a general rule they keep good meat and look particularly clean. There are nine shoemakers, six blacksmiths, four restaurants, three chemists, and one portrait gallery, seven bakers, two tinsmiths, four hairdressers, two sale yards, five tobacconists, three banks—the New South Wales, Bank of New Zealand, and the Union—none of them look ing like a bank at all. In the same street there are two saddlers, two doctors, two barristers, four stationers, throe jewellers, two paperhangers, two auctioneers, two tent makers, two millinery establishments, one printing-office, and these, together with about 60 tents, and shanties of various descriptions, comprise the whole of the buildings in this street, with the exception of those situated in the camp reserve."—New Zealand Examiner.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FRAUD. —lsaac Brackenborough Truman, describing himself as a traveller, of Swan-street, Bethnal-green, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant with unlawfully obtaining a horse and cart by false pretences from Mr. Coggings, licensed victualler, of the Earl of Derby public-house, Forest-gate, Essex. Mr. Thomas Beard prosecuted, and in opening the case stated that, although the face of the prisoner might not be familiar to his worship, it was so to his colleague, as ho had been previously charged at that court with a similar offence, but escaped. Mr. W. Coggings said—On the 3d November last I had a pony, chaise, and harness for sale. On that day I met the prisoner at the New Cattle-market. Ho came up to me and said, "Do they belong to you ?" I said, " Yes; they are for sale. Aro you a buyer?" The prisoner said, " I should like to see how the pony can go." I then told him to get up and I would show him, and he did so. I drove him round the market, and he seemed very well satisfied, and said it was a pony that would just suit him. He then asked me if it would•run in a four-wheel chaise, as he had one, and wanted it for his wife to drive round the park. He asked me what I wanted for it, and I said 20 guineas, and he then said he should like his wife to see it before he paid for it. He then asked me to take it to Sawyer's livery stables, in the Curtain-road, at 8 at night, and that ho would then meet me there and pay me the money. He then asked mo what was the lowest I would take, and I said £2O. I went to the place ap pointed and saw the prisoner. He said his wife had gone out, and asked me to leave them and to meet him the next morning at half-past 10 o'clock at the Baker and Basket public-house. I went there the next morning and found a card left for me that the prisoner had gone to St. Martin's lane. I went to St. Martin's-lane, opposite the Horse Repository. On the prisoner coming out I asked him if he had the money to pay me, and he then said that he had been purchasing two van horses, fo,r which he had paid £5O, and that had made him short of cash. He then asked me to take a bill on the London and County Bank for the amount. I said I could not do so for the whole amount, as I must have some cash. After conversation I agreed to take a bill for £l6 and £5 in money. Ho said he could not say whether there was a sufficiency at the bank at pre sent, but that there would be £3OO or£4oo in a day or two, and for that reason the bill was made payable seven days after date. The prisoner then produced a bill stamp and asked a cabman to fill up the bill, but that was spoilt The prisoner said he could not write himself and asked me if I could write. I said I could a little, and he then told me to fill up the bill. Seeing the word " Number " on it I asked him what number I was to put in, and he said " 107." I told him I could not do it, and did not un- derstand it ; he then took the bill from me and filled it up. He told me that he was in the flour trade in a large way of business, and that he lived in Swan-street, Bethnal-green Believing his story to be true I parted with my property.. At the end of the seven days I went to the London and County Bank, both in Lombard-street and Shoreditch, and the answer I received was that the prisoner was not known, and that he had never had an account at the bank. I have never been able to find the prisoner nor my pro perty. Prisoner—Did I not say that I did not wish for your property without the money ? Prosecutor—You said you had a banking account. I went to the address you gave me in Swan-street, and there was no appearance of your being largely engaged in the flour trade, as I had to knock twice, and the card did not find you. . _ Philip Shrives, 82 C— I took the prisoner into custody last night. He told me that he would go with me, but that the bill was not duo. He said he had the property still, but would not say where it was. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner for a week. The prisoner—Will you take bail ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—Certainly not. MARYLEBONE. DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--A respectably dressed married woman, named Elizabeth Haye, was charged with being drunk and incapable, and further charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police-constable 221 D deposed that on the previous even ing he saw the prisoner in a very drunken state outside a public-house and a large crowd assembled around her. She had two baskets in her possession ; one contained a bottle of port wino and a bottle of gin, the other a sheep's head and 17 large apples. He took her to the station-house. She had a return ticket to Charlton. Thomas Campran, 381 A, said he placed her in the cell, and shortly after, hearing a very strange noise, he called the inspector, who unfastened the door. They found the prisoner on the floor with a long piece of narrow linen tightly wound round her throat. • They at once cut this off, and the prisoner being unconscious, the divisional sur geon was sent for, and it took him a considerable time before he could restore her. She had to be watched for the remainder of the night. Prisoner, in reply to the charges, said she was extremely sorry for what sho had done. As to attempting her life she did not recollect that. Mr. Yardley thought he ought to detain her. Prisoner hoped he would allow her to go home to Charlton to her children. Air. Yardley said she had disgraced herself in tho eyes of her children. Prisoner said she was ashamed of herself. Mr. Yardley asked he: if he allowed her to go would she promise him not to dray the corks from the bottle. Prisoner gave the revired promise, and was discharged. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOIISE.—THE CAREFUL LAND LADY.-Wm. Moore, a man of somewhat respectable ap pearance and manners, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged withstealing a watch, an Albert chain, shirt, and other property, and £ll in money, belonging to Thomas Spaul, a car enter, of 16, Devonshire-street, Globe-fields, Stepney. The prosecutor said ae lodged in the house of Mrs. Ann Jones, of 16, Devonshire-street. Tho prisoner took a lodging in the same home, and slept in the same bed with him on Monday night. The prisoner went out before him yesterday morning. IR received information in the course of tho day which induced him to go home, and he then missed from a box in his rcom his watch, worth £7, his purse, containing 11 sovereigns, and other property. Mrs. Jones said the prisoner stated that ho came from the country on Monday night, when he hired a lodging, and that he went away early yesbrday morning and returned in the course of the day and said he intended to lie down on his bed. She suspected If m, and when lie had gone into the room and closed the does she returned and heard him breaking open a box. At last she heard a click, which was followed by the ransacking of the box, and she at once sent for the police. Nicholas Johns, a police-constable, No. 108 K., said he found all the money and property taken from the prosecu tor's box on the prisoner wen he took him into custody. There was a gold ring in the house and another in the prisoner's pocket. Both were the property of Spaul. Inspector Roberts, of the E division, believed other cases of a similar description would be brought against the pri soner if he was remanded. Mr. Paget remanded the lrisoner until this morning, and there being no other cllses against him, the deposi tions were read, but the prisoner declined saying anything, and he was committed for trill. HORRIBLE CRUELTY.—WiIEam Singer, a labourer and ostler, was brought before Mr. Paget, on a warrant, charged with torturing a horse. Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said thatin February last the prisoner was in the employ of a cowkeeper in the dis trict, and be forced a red hot iron into the body of the animal in the rear, and the animal, which was suffering excruciating tortures, was killed two days afterwards by the advice of a veterinary surgeon. A warrant was applied Charles The prisoner t t a , b li s c o o . n 3 d 2 e 2 d , n a d n w d as e taken . applied for a remand and summonses for t f L o h o l i . v s a e n m ) d o n r g o n r w i a n n g te by . witnesses. Mr. Paget, after consulting several Acts of Parliament and authorities, said ho had no power to determine this case summarily, because more than six months had elapsed since the commission of the offence. He dischargedthe prisoner. The magistrate gave a hint to Mr. Love, who immedi ately requested Abbott to take the prisoner into custody again. This was done, and the charge of malicious injury to cattle entered on a police sheet at the adjoining station house. The prisoner will be brought up again this after noon. BURNT TO DEATlL—Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the borough of Southwark, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital relative to the death by fire of Mrs. Henrietta Newton, aged 39 years. Mr. George Newton, 80, James-street, Borough, a master cooper, said that the deceased was his wife. On Friday last he gave her a sum of money to lay out at a linendraper's, and she went out for that purpose, wearing a large crinoline. At night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, upon witness.. going through the shop into the kitchen, he saw her in flames. She was crouching in a corner uoxt the cupboard door, which was also burning. He had the presence of mind to take off his coat and fling it over her, and ho then threw a quantity of water on his coat. She was dreadfully burnt, and was so exhausted that she could not tell how the fire originated. But the witness had no doubt that she had been trying to reach a vase on the mantleshelf, in which she kept money, after her return home from shopping, and that her large crinoline caught fire at the grate. Mrs. Caroline Coleman, a neighbour, said that she was called in to deceased by Mr. Newton, and found her dreadfully burnt. There was a large fire in the kitchen grate, and the crinoline had evi dently thrust her dress between the bars. The deceased refused to see a doctor, but the next morning she was taken to the hospital. Mr. G. East, house-surgeon, said that the deceased was brought into the Hospital on Saturday morn ing dreadfully burnt over the legs, arms, and lower part of the body. She died at midnight from the effect of her injuries. The coroner having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY MEETING-TUESDAY. There was nothing very particular in to day's card, beyond the Cup, the other events being short Handicaps and Selling Race, interesting to those speculating on them. Convent, who could not go a yard at Liverpool, showed a liking for this course by defeating a great favourite in Vulture for the Five Sovs Sweepstakes, and old Hesper and Queen of Trumps could not live with the young ones in one of those objectionable three furlong spins that they are a little too fond of at Shrewsbury. The Battlefield Handicap was a good thing for Overture, and the Borough Members' Plate Professor Anderson, ac cording to the Liverpool running, could not lose. He won in a canter, and was bought at the hammer after the race by the Marquis of Hastings for 400 guineas. The Cup was a good race, and the pace first-rate. It was doubtful for some time which was the better favourite, Raglan or Dalby, but at last Raglan left off with a decided call, Gomera and Bradamante being also backed for some amount. The favourite made the most of the running ex cept for a short interval, when Sidewind was in front, but she was headed on entering the straight, and the two ran a good race home, Raglan, with always the best of it, win ning by half a length. The attendance was larger than on the first day. A Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, with 25 sovs added, for 2-yr olds and upwards, with selling allowances. Maidens allowed 51b. About one mile. 8 subs.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Vulture, 3to 1 agst Convent, 4to 1 agst Black Prince, 6 to 1 agst Peignoir, and 8 to 1 agst Lampoon. Lampoon appeared in front for a few strides, when he was headed by Convent, who, with the favourite at her girths, came on with the running into the straight, where they singled themselves out and finished the race home, Convent winning easily at last by a neck. Black Prince was a badthird. The winner was bought in for 210 guineas, and Captain White claimed Vulture. A Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 SOTS each, for all ages.

Queen of Trumps on the left got away with a clear lead, having Hesper and the Blue Bell filly in close attendance to the distance, where the former dropped away beaten, leaving the lead with Hesper, who came on with the run ning to the stand, where Mr. Foy's filly came out and won in a canter by three lengths; Carnizette, who headed Lord Craven a short distance from home, finished a length in advance of Mr. Saxon's dolt. Hesper was a bad fourth, Queen of Trumps fifth, and Knight of the Whistle sixth. Caprice and Belzoni were the last two. The Battlefield Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 30 sovs added; the second to save his stake. Winners extra. About three-quarters of a mile. 22 subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Overture, sto 2 agst Confederate, and 10 to 1 agst any other.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Raglan, 4to 1 agst Dalby, sto 1 agst Gomera, 6 to 1 agst Bradamante, 8 to 1 each agst Bally Edmond and Windham, 10 to 1 agst Sidewind, 100 to 1 agst Fisherman's Daughter, and 20 to 1 agst Joco. Joco, on the outside, got away in advance of Valiant and Raglan, the two entering the straight a length or two in advance of Bradamante, Bally Edmond, and Dalby, who were followed in close order by Fisherman's Daughter, Blue Mantle, Sidewind, and Windham. Approaching the distance Raglan ran past his horses, and came past the stand in advance of Valiant, who was followed by Joco, Fisher man's Daughter, and Bradamante nearly abreast. To these succeeded Bally Edmond, Dalby, Sidewind, Blue Mantle, Windham, and Gomcra, in the order we have given them ; but on rounding the turn on the far side, Lord Westmore land's filly rushed through her horses, and on coming up sides with Bradamante and Fisherman's Daughter she hung so much as to drive the latter, whose leg she cutbadly, into Bradamante, who was sent on the wrong side of the post, and his chance was in consequence extinguished. Kenyon fortunately was enabled to keep his filly straight, and before they reached the mile-post, she joined Raglan. Gomera, who had hitherto laid away in company with Windham, also, became third and fourth, close up with whom were seen Bally Edmond and Dalby. Proceeding along the bottom, the effect of the pace began to tell its tale, as the field ex hibited an extended appearance as they rounded the turn into the straight. Here the popular colours of Sidewind were clearly seen in the van, and her success was vocifer ously proclaimed from the Stand, but shortly after she was seen to give way, and the favourite, admirably ridden by Loates, came up on the outside ; the pair running together to half-way in the distance, when Raglan drew away and won a good race by half a length. Gomera finished a bad third, Windham fourth, Dalby fifth, and Blue Mantle sixth. The others were pulled up at the Stand, and did not pass the post.

The mail train from the North to Sheffield left Masbro' in the morning, and the driver found upon approaching Sheffield that a heavy goods train was in front. The rails were so greasy that the goods train could not get on, and the mail train could render no assistance. In this dilemma the two drivers agreed to work "single line," which is always a dangerous experiment. The guard of the goods train told his driver to detitch his engine and go on to Sheffield, and acquaint the signal men and pointsmen with the state o f thin g s. This the man did, but he then returned on th e other line with his engine, in order to pilot the mail tra in. Unfortunately, the driver of the mail had crossed a t a p oint behind the goods, an d Sheifireeltduronning. Both the downßh were line, going at a along which the es goodscomin gup to was e ngine pretty smart rate, and neither saw the other until they were so near that a collision was unavoidable. The en gines ran into each other with great force, and both were serious l y damaged. Two of the passengers in the mail tra i n were hurt, one o f t h em so tench so that h e h a d t o b e removed to the Sheffield Infirmary, The • rY• engines were complete wrecks. NAVIGATION AND POLLUTION OF RIVERS.

The inquiry at this place, it is expected, will occupy the remainder of this week. COST OF SIGNALS ON RAILWAYS.—From a report on the subject we learn that the signals on a railway forty miles long cost as much as £3,000, and that the complicated ones at the chief stations'of a great railway cost about £2,000. A CURIOUS INVENTION has been provisionally patented by Mr. E. S. Jones, of Liverpool, according to which he proposes to compress air into suitable chambers, conveniently stored in various parts of ships. The com pression may be effected when the ship is in port, in o r d er that it may be available when required in c46os of emer gency. too 1 OSSE 100 100 100 all 100 100 190 100 100 140 100 100 ,03 I 1041 5 17} 17 105 i
