—Oa go of a face woo,ch rident )rk of deter ig ad me of MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The business of the week has commenced with an extreme degree of quietude. The supply of com mercial bills on offer are limited, and speculation in securities of all descriptions is much below the ave rage, notwithstanding this proverbially dull season of the year. The sum of £ll,OOO was sent into the Bank on Saturday afternoon, including 8,000 sovereigns from the Continent. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are 66 68, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds 48 49. The directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada have announced their intention of recom mending a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, leaving a balance of £2,648 12s. to be carried over, including the sur plus of the present half year. The return for the month of July on the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company amounts to £2,997, against £2,763 at the same period of 1865. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week state that business generally has remained dull. At Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field only moderate dealings have been effected in woollen goods, chiefly for home consumption. At Manchester there has been a very limited inquiry for both cloths and yarns, at barely previous rates; While the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have shown a slight improvement. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been very little ani mation in any department of business. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 20c. In the discount market there is some degree of dulness, and the rates show a downward tendency. At the Stock Exchange speculation is partially suspended, and the operations for permanent invest meat are too limited to impart any appearance of animation to the different markets. With an ex treme degree of quietude, however, it is satisfactory to notice that almost every class of secu rity is sustained in its convertible value. " Left alone" is the motto that might be ap plied to more than half of the Stocks and Shares marked in Messrs. Wetenhall's Lists. The New Threes are 86i 4 1 and Reduced Annuities 861 8 ; Annuities, 1885, 12 13-16 ; Bank of Eng land Stock, 242, for account ex div. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 4 ; and Exchequer Bills 2s. dis. to 3s.

American Securities are very dull, and prices are generally lower. United States 5.20 Bonds are 711 72 ; Erie shares, 47/ 8 ; and Illinois, 771 78. Business in the Railway Share Market has been very inactive, and the general tendency of prices has been downwards. South Western have declined £1 10s., North Eastern (Berwick) £l, Great North ern A Stock, North Western, Midland and South Eastern, each 10s. ; and Great Western ss. ; while London, Chatham, and Dover have improved 10s.

MARKETS.--This Day. MARK LAN]. The trade for wheat in the country markets bold on Saturday ruled quiet. The aggregate business transacted, however, was to a fair average extent, and prices ruled firm. For barley, good and fine malting qualities commanded higher prices. Oats, beans, and peas, ruled steady at full quotations. Flour was firm at quite late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm at fully late rates. Spring corn had changed hands at full quotations. At New York the business done in breadstuffs for export to Europe is small. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 7;508 quarters of wheat, 2,675 barley, 19,903 oats, 2,400 beans, 724 linseed, 5,693 rape and oilseeds, 9,400 58 71 I maize, 1,717 sundry seeds, 671 sacks and 1,333 barrels of flour. 291 I I:Sf Sj 9 The malt trade was firm, and prices were rather on tho ad van co. 1•231 21 The market was moderately, but by no means exten sively, supplied with oats - .

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, There are two very important races to be decided at this meeting, which, no doubt, will make a cousiderablealtera tion in the betting for the two great auturnn-h - andicaps. Potomac, the favourite for the Cesarewitcho y s going back point by point, which looks as if he was going to be scratched, when enough has been got out of him. Ethelred does not go so healthy as his early backers could wish. Mathilde looks like securing a short price. Breeze will turn out the best of Baron Rothschild's two, and if she keeps - well will defeat all the favourites. Jollity and Re galia are both worth backing, the latter especially, as she beat ACkworth far more easily than Rama, the latter only beating Ack worth by eight lengths, while Regalia beat the latter by half a distance, and could not have lost the Doncaster Cup if she had started. The meeting conumences to morrow and extends over Friday, with thirty-nine items spread over the four days. Of these eleven are appointed for the first day, the most important of which are the Hope ful, the Grand Duke Michael, the Four Year Old Triennial, the Buckenham Stakes, and the Great Eastern Railway Handicap. For the Hopeful 39 horses have been nomi nated, the most distinguished of whom are Achieve ment, Marksman, Lady Hester, Julius, Cellina, Verulam, and Sunnylocks. The great form shown by Achieve ment gives her the pull over these as well as over all tho horses we know anything about, consequently her defeat can alone be accomplished by a good "dark " horse. Tho Grand Duko Michael Stakes, unless Lord Falmouth should run Honiton, is likely to be reduced to a match between Lord Lyon and Knight of the Crescent, and as the victor of the " triple crown " is penalised 71b and Lord Exeter's horse takes a olb allowance, my vote must be for Knight of the Crescent. The Seventeenth Four Year Old Triennial will bring to the post but a limited field, and in the almost certain absence of Elland it is a gift to Kin rinska. New Guinea will win the Buckenham Stakes. There is the immense number of 79 horses for the Great Eastern Railway Handicap, which, being open to the post, renders this popular race most dif f icult to deal with. Those most favourably treated are Master Richard, Cedric, Plutus, Il Re Galantuomo, and Proserpine, and one of them I shall expect to furnish the winner. The list for Wednes day contains nine items, only three of which have yet closed, viz., the St. Leger, the Granby Stakes, and the Three Year Old Triennial. In the St. Leger Savernake and Knight of the Crescent are engaged, with a certainty, according to; the Doncaster running, of its falling to Lord Ailesbury's horse, unless he should be reserved for tho Triennial. The Granby, in which fourteen horses are en gaged, may bring out some "dark" youngsters, including the high-priced Pedagogue,but I nevertheless think the con test will be between Friponnier and Bounceaway. The former has to give Prince Soltykoff's filly 71b, and, the distance being six furlongs all up hill, I consider Bounce away entitled to the preference. In the Triennial sixty three horses are engaged, but nothing possesses the least chance of beating Savernake. The October Handicap looks a good thing for Breadalbano or Castanet, but those wishing to invest had better wait and see the result of the Great Eastern Railway Handicap. NOTES A FRESH MAN. FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS (THIS DAY.) FINDON. Our downs are exceedingly heavy from the late succes sive rains ; but all our Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire horses are doing well, if we except Sidewind, who has been amiss, and is merely trotting just now ; and Rama, who is walking. Potomac, after her usual mile canters, takes a gallop of quite a couple of miles daily. So does Thalia. Both are looking and going uncommonly. We have a good string under orders for Newmarket, to assist at the First October Meeting there. All aro well and fit.

Matilda Afargetson was brought before this court on the charge of threatening to assault her husband, a journey man hatter. Complainant stated that the prisoner had just come out of gaol, after undergoing three months' imprisonment, for assaulting him. She came opt of prison on the 20th, and on that morning she waylaid him in the Strand, and abused him most extravagantly. She demanded that he should give up his furniture to make her a home, and allow her a certain sum per week. He said ho would have nothing to do with such a worthless drunken woman—if she wanted an allowance he would pay what the parish compelled him to allow her. She called him names, and said she would pay him out, and either disfigure his face or do him some bodily injury. On the 21st he came before the magistrate and obtained a warrant against her, in order to make use of it if she again molested him„ ThQ next night she fol lowed him as he left his business, abusing him and declar ing that she would not leave him. Ho walked on, looking for a policeman, but did not • find one till ho got to Scot land-yard. She was still abusing and threatening him. He then gave her in custody. She was detained while the officer was sent for to execute the warrant. The prisoner denied that she ever threatened him at all, and as for the assault, for which she was sent to prison, he had provoked it, by bringing a broker in and selling off the furniture one morning before she was out of bed. He would not even pay her the allowance of 12s. a week which had been ordered by Mr. Flowers, when the parish pro ceeded against him. Complainant said he was summoned afr the instance of the • parish, because he refused then, as now, to pay her anything unless he was compelled. The order being made he paid the allowance for some time. She then took to lying in wait for him as he went to and from his work, and besetting, him not as now with threats ,but with tears, which had more effect on him for they went to his heart. The result was that he consented to take her home on her solemn promise, made upon a Bible, in the presence of her own sister and uncle, that she would keep from drinking. She, however, soon broke out again, and took to pawning his shirts, which he redeemed several times, and also the furniture. He produced a list of articles pledged to the value of £l2 and upwards. All this was for drink, in which she spent every halfpenny she could lay her hands on. The prisoner said this was not true, but her husband did not believe in the Christian religion, and his oath was valueless. She only pledged a few things because he left her without sufficient money for food, sometimes giving her but 3d. or 4d. to provide dinner. She was ordered to find bail in one surety of £2O to keep he peace for 12 months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WHOLESALE ROBBERY BY A DRESSMAKER'S FOREWOMAN, —Hortense Delenge, forewoman in the employ of Madame Anna Neveux Teuillet, dressmaker and milliner, of No.lB, Princes-street, Hanover-square, was charged beforo Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of property belonging to her employer; and Jules Dolange, husband of the female prisoner, was charged with receiving the stolen property with a guilty knowledge. Henry. Dawson, 301 A, said--About a fortnight ago Madame Feuillet came to the station, in consequence of her stating that she had been robbed of a large quantity of silk. I kept watch on the female prisoner, who was in Macrame Feuillet's employ as forewoman, and saw her leave the house on different nights and join the male prisoner, who was waiting outside. I followed the prisoners and saw them go into No. 18, Stephen's-street, Tottenham-court-road. On Saturday night I went to 18, Princes-street, and the female prisoner was called from the workroom. I told her, through Madame Feuillet, that I was a police( officer, and that a quantity of silk had been missed from the pro • raises, and asked her if She knew anything about it. She said she did not. I then asked her if she had been in the shop of Mr. Neate, a pawnbroker near Manchester-square ; and at first she said she had not, but afterwards that she had, and she had pledged her ring. I told her I should take her to the station, and took from her a little bag, and in it found some duplicates relating to silk and lace, the whole of which the prosecutrix had since identified as her property. On speaking to the prisoner about the lace she began crying, and said she was very sorry she had taken it. I found the male prisoner outside, and on telling him that I should take him into custody for being con cerned with his wife in robbing her employer, he said he knew nothing about it. I afterwards went to Stephen-street, and fn_ the room occupied by the prisoner found a box, which I opened with a key I found on the male prisoner. I found 45 yards of lace, 20 yards o velvet ribbon, 15 yards braid, pieces of silk dresses partly made, and 37 duplicates, all relating to silk and other ma terials used used by the prosecutrix. Madame Anna Feuillet, of 18, Princes-street, deco rator and milliner, said—The• prisoner has been my forewoman for about twelve months. In consequence of missing about £3OO, I spoke to the police. The whole of the articles produced are my property in cluding two pearls found in the possession of the prisoners. The property produced 'is of the value of £lO 10s., and four pieces of lace, handed in by the purchaser, are of the value of £3. I had suspected the prisoner some time. Wm. Wells, assistant, tb Mr. Robert Attenborough (late Neale) Duke-street, Manchester -square, pawnbroker, pro duced four pieces of lace pledged by a person who gave, the name of Dupont, but be could say it was the male pri soner. The person gave the address 17, Berkeley -street. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners,. who made no answer to the charge. Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day.

In case of depraved or superabundant bile, these Pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail. In bowel complaints they are equally efficacious, but they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, though a gentle or more genial aperient than these Pills, in moderate doses, has never yet been discovered. If taken according to the printed in structions, they not, only cure the complaint, but improve .the whole system. • METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Although a steamer on her passage from Tonning has foundered at sea with about 360 beasts and 1,000 sheep on board, there was a large supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day in about average condition. The trade was heavy, at depressed currencies. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were on \ the increase, and mostly of prime quality. The best breeds moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Inferior beasts were very dull, and quite 2d poi 81b lower than on Monday last. The general top of foreign was 5s 4d, but some inferior oxen realised 5s 6d. per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton we received about 1,800 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 8 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. We were tolerably well supplied with sheep in improved condition. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, and the quotations gave way 4d per §lbs. The'best downs and half-breds sold at Gs per 81bs. Calves wore in moderate supply and sluggish request as to late rates, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs. There was a slight improvement in the sale for pigs and the quotations had an upward tendency.

Most of the planters are now busily employed in secur ing their'crops. In some districts, however, picking is still in a very backward state, and the great fair recently held at Worcester was for this reason a decided failure. Com pared with last year the present crop is very inferior, both as regards the yield and the quality of the produce. _Never theless, the accounts from the continent have, generally speaking, been of a favourable nature ; we may therefore rely upon receiving a fair quantity from that quarter. At the same time, there is a large amount of yearlings still unsold in the market; consequently there appears every probability of the wants of brewers being amply provided for throughout the year. For new produce the trade is steady as follows :—Mid and East Kents, 160 s to 180 s ; Weald of Kents, 150 s to 180 s ; and Sussex, 140 s to 168 s per cwt. Last week week's imports were 49 bales from Bou logne, 86 Rotterdam, 3 Ostend, 8 Hamburg, and 12 Bremen. BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS. The accounts respecting the disease are unfavourable. The market is fairly supplied with potatoes, the tratsac- tions in which have been to a fair extent at about late rates. There were no foreign arrivals Regents Rocks WOOL. There has been a good attendance at the public sales of colonial wool. The transactions on Yorkshire account have been somewhat extensive, but have been chiefly con fined to fine qualities, for which high prices have been paid. French buyers have operated moro freely, and a fair quan tity has been taken for Belgium. As yet, however, Ameri can houses have purchased sparingly. For English wool the trade is firm at late rates. The imports into London MALTON. Klarinska, Knight of the Crescent, Knight of St. Michael Hebe, Queen of Nuts, Knight of the Grove, and a few Others have left to fulfil their Newmarketengagements this week, and are looking uncommonly well. Klarinska has done first-rate work of late, that she must win the Seventh Triennial Produce ; and it is ridiculous to suppose that Lord Lyon can beat Knight of the Crescent at I2lbs. dif ference for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, for our horse has gone on improving since Doncaster, whilst the Dsley will never be made bettor than he was for the Leger. Klarinska may remain at Newmarket until after the Cesarewitch is over, but ho wants stronger work for that event. Brown Bread is in preparation, but from the exor cise he is doing now, a mile and a quarter daily gallop, he looks as if he was going for the Cambridgeshire instead of a long race. Treasure Trove is not doing a great deal, nor the Lion ; but both are looking exceedingly well. Taraban and Grand Cross are merely walking at present ; and Oppression, Messmate, Syceo, My Love, Jonquil, Mockery, Domestic Bliss, Skylark, Bezique, Ballot, Musa, Punster, the Merletto colt, and several others cantering only. Wild Wind is in the hospital. NEWMARKET. We shall have a big meeting here this week. Yesterday and this morning our several horses engaged had their final long gallops, and several strangers arrived. 11 Re Galan tuomo, having won his trial with King Charming and Antimacassar ought not to lose the Great Eastern Railway Handicap, as he is a good speedy animal, and is as fit as possible. Plutus, nevertheless, is much improved, and looks very dangerous. With these two we shall be able to face all comers. Klarinska is to be dreaded for the Seventeenth Triennial, but Mr. Chaplin's trio—Out and-Outer, Broomielaw, and Breadalbane— aro very ripe. The whole of the above galloped to-day about a mile and three quarters steadily, and the following were also doing a fair amount of work : Hippia., Nancy, Plunder, Vespasian, Satyr, Problem, Delium, Water Cure, Cecrops, Janitor, Gownsman, Magi cian, Miss Harriette, Tomahawk, Musician, Nu, Brahma, Breeze, Sealskin, Eakring, Jollity, Medina, Chapel Royal, Whitby, Rector, Duke of York, Guinivore, Honiton, the two Robin Hoods, Cromwell, Ettrick, Lochaber, Verulam, Sunnylocks, Madlle. do Charolais, Julius, and Nightwatch, all of whom have engagements this week. Breeze and Eakring go very badly at present. Sealskin gallops a mile and a half only at present, but Jollity did two and a half to-day: Lothario also had a nice long gallop. Hippia goes splendidly, so do Julius and Knight of the Garter. MARLBOROUGH. Savernako goes to Newmarket, and if ho keeps as fit as he is At present he will win both his engagements there, for hi goes even better now than we have ever seen him do. Bradamante had a severe two miles and three quarters last Saturday, and of course has been eased since. The little mare is sure to take a prominent part in the Cesare witch if the ground be not " holding." Dulcimer and the Splitvote colt continue in good full work. Tho Mayonaise filly is amiss; and Staghound still off duty. Bugler and Dragoon aro fit. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon and Achievement hate been eased a little in their work during the last day or two, which will doubt less benefit them after their recent severe preparations. It would be policy to keep them from fulfilling their New market engagements this meeting ; but nothing definite has oozed out here, at present, of Mr. Dover's intention, though from the limited work the brother and sister are doing, we infer they will not be sent to the metropolis of the turf this meeting. The General goes very short this morning. No animal could look moro fit and move more freely than Split the Difference; so that he ought to go and pull off the October Handicap. The youngsters, under the tutoring of Jezabel, are improv ing rapidly; and Gardevisure is giving Rust a rare good schooling now. Ellaad is amiss. Warrener is sending Gay Tom along ; and Lowe is giving Threadbare a strong preparation. Pryor gave Paris, Peon, Slender, and Fitzroy a long gallop on Saturday ; and they have done very little since. Claymore, Miller's Maid, Vampire, Vocalist, Celt, Aggravator, and the other horses here are doing uncom monly well. THE FORTHCOMING PRIZE FlGHT.—Arrangements have at length been completed for the great fight between Marsden and Baldwin, which is looked upon as a prelimi nary to the contest for the champion's belt. The fight is to take place to-Morrow (Tuesday) in what is known as the London district. DEATH OF A GREAT STAGE COACH PROPRIETOR. —A man, once, of considerable importance, has departed. " Mr. Edward Sherman, of the Queen's Hotel," is not in itself an announcement to arouse general sympathy. But the " Queen's Hotel" is the polite form given, since rail roads upset the coaches, to the old "Bull and Mouth," in St. Martin's-le-Grand, where the ancient inn first set up its testimony to the value of the Tudor victory in Picardy, as the "Boulogne Mouth," or harbour. Mr. Sherman was the great coach proprietor. He has died at the age of ninety. The rail threw him off the road, on which he saw as many changes as most men. For him the world was turned upside down; but ho scorned to die of grief of it, and lived on till ho had reached the stage of the last ten miles towards the hundred. Mr. Sherman was born when George 111. was young, and people of condition, but small means, travelled by the waggon. The old coach proprie tor's body can be carried by rail to the Great Northern Ce metery in r,s many minutes as it took days (when he was young) for the coaches starting from the old " Bull and Mouth" to reach Edinburgh.--ilehen&um• - THIRD EDITION.

KELSO—ANGLING IN THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.— The frequent showers which have fallen during the week have had the effect of keeping the rivers in a swollen state. On account of the comparative dryness of the weather on Sunday and Monday, the waters subsided considerably, but on Tuesday they again came down in flood. On Wed nesday the Tweed had so far decreased as to allow of an gling with some success. On the Markerston water, three fish were caught, one of which gave Mr. Malcolm, yr., of Poltalloch, an exciting run of three minutes, and when landed was found to be a new run salmon of 33ilb weight On Thursday, Sir Richard Jeffson, in the Sprouston water, killed a bull-trout ; but tho water was rather full for sal mon angling. In the Teviot during the week, two pikes, fish very rarely caught iu this district, were landed—one by Mr. Johnston and the other by Mr. Train. The former weighed 4ilb and the latter 71b. On Thursday night there were several very heavy showers of rain, whieji brought the Tweed down iu flood, and it will be Monday, with fair Weather, before angling can be pursued with success. A goodly number of fish have reached the upper waters. —The &AI tracts. STREET HUMOUR.—During the period of the Great Exhibition at Kensington the omnibuses in that district increased their fares from threepence to four pence. A Frenchman, unacquainted with the change in the tariff, proffered a threepenny piece in payment for the journey. "Fourpence, mosso," answered the conductor, wagging his head. Tho unfortunate alien, who could not speak a word of English, still tendered the smaller coin. " One, two, three, four—Four," cried tho other, counting the numbers on his fingers, and roaring at the top of his voice, as though that would render him more intelligible. "Four, four !" This wont on for about five minutes, in the presence of a 'busful of people, who wanted to settle their own little accounts, and enter tho building. "Ile don't understand nothing," groaned the conductor, when his store of abuse was utterly exhausted, " Will any lady or gentleman bo so good as to oblige me with the French for a blessed fool?"_ For the forthcoming exhibition at Paris next year a distinct order of reward of a novel character, con sisting of ten prizes of £4OO each, has been an nounced by the Imperial Commission, and British competitors for these rewards are to send in their claims on or before the Ist of November next, in order that, if the claims appear suitable, they n iay be transmitted to the International Jury, which it is announced will meet on the Ist of December, 1866. These rewards are "in favour of the per sons, establishments, or localities which, by a special -organisation, or special institutions, have developed a spirit of harmony among all those co-operating in the same work, and have provided for the material, moral, and intellectual wellbeing of the workmen." Besides these rewards there are 20 " honourable mentions." Moreover, one grand prize of 100,000 f. (£4,000) in addition, will be awarded to the person, establishment, or locality distinguished under this head by a very exceptional superiority. Three jurors are assigned to the United Kingdom, and theirnames will be shortly announced. ....... 'HE CO T A IICION - KINGFISIIER. ",....... (From Routiedge's Illustrated Natural History.) The common Kingfisher is by far the most gorgeously - decorated of all our indigenous birds, and can bear con.. parison with many of the gaily decorated inhabitants of tropical climates. It is a sufficiently common bird, although distributed very thinly over the who're country, and considering the great number of eggs which it lays, Ad the largo propor tion of young which it rears, is probably more plentiful than is generally supposed to be the case. The straight, glancing flight of the Kingfisher, as it shoots along the river -bank, its azure back gleaming in the sunlight with meteoric splendour, is a sight familiar to all those IN ho have been accustomed to wander by the sides of rivers, whether for the purpo 3C of angling-, or merely to study the beauties of nature. swift is the flight of this bird, and with such wonderful rapidity does it move its short wings, its shape is hardly perceptible as it pasts through the air, and it leaves upon the eye of the observer the impression of a blue streak of ligot. This straight, arrow-like course is that which is generally adopted by the bird, but on some occasions the Kingfisaers will become very playful, and sport with each other in the air, turning and wheeling with touch adroitness as they mutually chase or avoid each other in their game. The food of this bird consists chiefly, though not exclu sively, of fish, which it takes, kills, and eats in the follow ing manner : Seated upon a convenient bough or rail that overhangs a stream where the smaller fish love to pass, the Kingfisher waits very patiently until he sees an unsuspecting minnow or stickleback pass below his perch, and then, with a rapid - movement, drops into the water like a stone and secures his prey. Should it be a small fish, he swallows it at once, but if it should be of rather large dimensions, he carries it to a stone or stump, beats it two or three times against the hard substance, and then swallows it without any trouble. The Kingfisher is sometimes given to hoarding, and having caught more fish than he can eat, will take them to his secret storehouse, and there hide them until he is able to eat them. In one such case, in which an account has been forwarded to me, the bird seemed to employ its storehouse for the reception of fish which it had caught and which were too large for it to swallow. The treasury chosen by this individual was a crevice formed by the roots of a willow-tree that grew close to the water's edge, and it usually contained one or two fish. Sometimes there would be five or six fishes lying in the hole, and some of them so large that they have been removed and cooked. The bird must sometimes have found a groat difficulty in getting its prey fairly ashore, as the tracks were evident on the soft mud of the bank where the fish had been dragged, and the bird's feet had trodden. Young trout were the general occupants of the storehouse, and in every case the fish had been killed by a bite across the back of the head or neck. Sometimes the bird has been Down to meet with a deadly retribution on the part of his prey, and to fall a victim to his voracity. One such example I have seen. A Kingfisher had caught a common bull-head, or miller's thumb, a well-known large-headed fish, and on attempting to swallow it had been baffled by the large head, which re fused to pass through the gullet, and accordingly choked the bird. The Kingfisher must Lave been extremely hungry when it attempted to eat so large a morsel, as the fish was evidently of a size that could not possibly have been accommodated in the bird's interior. Several similar examples are known ; but one, which is recorded by Mr. Quekett, is of so remarkable a kind that it is worthy of notice. The bird had caught and actually attempted to swallow a young dabchick, and, as might be supposed, had miserably failed in the attempt. The most complete instance of poetical justice befalling a Kingfisher is one which occurred in Gloucestershire, and was related to me by an eye-witness. 'The narrator was sitting on the bank of a favourite river and watching the birds, fish, and insects that disport themselves upon and in its waters, when some strange blue object was seen floating down the stream, and splashing the water with great vehemence. On a nearer approach it was seen to be a Kingfisher, from whose mouth protruded the tail and part of the body of a fish. The struggles of the choking bird became more and more faint, and had well nigh ceased when a pike protruded his broad nose from the water, seized both Kingfisher and fish, and disappeared with them into the regions below. The same person who related this tragical story, and who has always felt an ardent love for birds, beasts, and things that enjoy the blessings of life, and to whom I have been indebted for much curious information and many valuable specimens of natural history, also tells me that Kingfishers are greatly susceptible of music, pro vided that it be played in a slow and solemn strain like the old ecclesiastic chants. There was an organ in the house placed in the room that looked towards the stream which the Kingfishers frequented, and it was observed by the household that whenever music of such a character was played upon the organ the Kingfishers would soon make their appearance at the bottom of the garden, and sit as if enchanted with the strains. Quick and lively' airs seemed rather to disconcert the birds, a fact which was not discovered until after many experiments and the con sumption of much time. With the fish it generally feeds its young, being able to disgorge at will the semi-digested food which it has swal lowed, after the manner of most birds of prey. Fish, how ever, do not constitute its sole nourishment, as it is known to eat various insects, such as dragon-flies and water beetles, and will often in cold weather pay a visit to the sea shore for the purpose of feeding upon the little crabs, shrimps, and - sandhoppors that are found upon the edge of the tide. Still, by far the greatest portion of its diet is composed of fish ; and I have never yet found any frag ments of insect anatomy among the debris which forms the nest. The nest of the Kingfisher is always made in some con ver.ient bank, at the extremity of a hole which has previ ously been occupied and deserted by the water rat or other mining quadrupeds, and been enlarged and adapted for use by the Kingfisher. Now and then the nest of this bird has been found built in the deserted hole of a rabbit-warren It is always found that the tunnel slopes gently upward, and that the bird has shaped the extremity into a globular form in order to contain the parent bird, the nest, and eggs. Sometimes the nest is placed in the natural crevices formed by the roots of trees growing on th o wa t er ' s edge. ... In many cases it is easily detected, for the birds are very care less about the concealment of their nest even before the eggs are hatched, and after tho young have made their ap pearance in the world, they are so clamorous for food and so insatiable in their appetite that their noisy voices can be heard for some distance, and indicate with great precision the direction of their home. Some writerssay that the intorior of the burrow is kept so scrupulously clean that it is free from all evil scents. My own experience, however, contradicts this assertion ; for, after introducing the hand into a Kingfisher's nest, I have always found it imbued with so offensive an odour that I was fain to wash it repeatedly in the nearest stream. As the Kingfishey is se so d piscatorial in its habits, it wou ld naturally be supposed that the nest would b e pl ace d i n o close connection with the stream from which the parent birds obtained their daily food. I have, however, several times seen a Kingfisher's nest, and obtained the eggs, in spots that were not within half a mile of a fish-inhabited stream. The bird is greatly attached to the burrow in which it has once made its nest, and will make use of the same spot year after year, even though the nest be plun dered and the eggs stolen. The eggs are from six to eight in number, rather globu lar in form, and of an exquisitely delicate pink in colour when fresh, changing to a pearly white when the contents are removed. As soon as the young are able to exert themselves, they perch on a neighbouring twig or other convenient resting place, and squall incessantly for food In a very short time they assume their yearling plumage which is very nearly the same as that of the adult bird, and soon learn to fish on their own account. AQUATICS. PRINCE OF WALES YACaT CLUB. The closing trip of the above club took place on Satur day afternoon. At 2.30 the Octoroon, 12, F. H. Lornann ; Eva, 22, E. S. Bulmer and Lowe; Lotus, 21, J. Charner ; Clytie, 12, S.:liarvvood, rend ezvouse d at Bl ac kwall Pier, and had a capital run to Purfleet, off which they brought up, and the me m b ers and their friends d i ne d a t th e R oyal hotel. Mr. C ec il L ong, the vice - comm odore, was i n t h e chair, and in giving the toast of "The Prince of Wales Yacht Club," dwelt upon the successful season they had had, and the prospect of a briltfant future if they would continue to support the chili as they had done. The other toasts followed, and the party spent a very agree able evening. CHALLENGE FOUR-QA] ED RACE. On Saturday a four-oared race was rowed between cre ws of tho Hope and Surrey RJwing Clubs from Green wich to Charlton for a Challenp Cup, to be won twice in succession by the same club before it became their pro perty. The Hope had won it once. The result was as follows : Hope.—C. Brown, C. Miles, G. Miles, W. Marriott, W. Renshaw (cox.) Surrey. —W. Arnold, B. Griffiths, J. Higgs, J. Flet cher, It. Whittaker (cox.) Mr. Searle was starter and referee. They had a good race of 200 yards, when the Hope gradually drew away, and won a fast race by ten lengths, thus winning the Cup absolutely. The Alexandra No. 3 accompanied with a large party. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. —J. Sadler, of Putney, has issued a challenge to row either R. Chambers or R. Cooper for the charapionship and £2 aside. At the luncheon of the Easingwold Agricultural Society, on Tuesday, the Hon. A. Duncombc, M.P., gave the usual loyal toasts, and, in giving'that of " The Prince and Princess of Wales," ho said that whilst their lioyal Highnesses were inspecting the recent show at the York shire Agricultural Society, at York, one of the thorough bred horses cast a shoe. The Princess desired that the shoe should be presented to her, and he (the chairman) had the pleasure of giving it into her Royal Highness's hand; at Bishopthorpe, and of hearing her giving instructions to have it packed up as carefully as one of her bonnets.—.
