Mr. Paget—How did ho do that ? to keep a good look out. The prosecutor no sooner reached his home than he was met by the prisoner at the door, and he said he would have his life. The prisoner at the same time made a snap with his teeth at the prosecutor's nose. Pearson quickly drew his nose away, and the prisoner re peated the attempt, and said, " I'll swallow your nose." The prosecutor, to use his own words, hooked his nose away a second time, and it was only slightly marked. The prisoner then battered his head against the prosecutor's breast, and before he could recover from the shock, struck him a tremendous blow over the left eye, and knocked him down. He got up and was knocked down three times in succession. Tho prisoner then knelt on the prosecutor, and was proceeding to further violence when the police, fortunately at hand, interfered and took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Paget asked how the prisoner got the cut on his head ? Pearson—l don't know. -The prisons/ said that Pearson "bobbed his nose" into his mouth. Prisoner—l don't kno w. A I tried to keep his nose in my mouth, but could not. He hit me, and his boys tore me to pieces. Charles Skinner, 439 K, saw 40 or 50 people in front of the house in Philip-street, St. George's-in-the-East, and great noise and disorder there. He took the prisoner into custody, and saw the contusion on his forehead. After a long discussion, in the course of which it ap peared the prisoner's wife had been engaged in a row, and received two black oyes and other injuries, Mr. Paget said no doubt the prisoner committed the assault, and a very brutal one it was. If there had been an oppressive distress that court would have afforded a remedy. Ile sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month and kept to hard labour. An English Gun in France. A Paris correspondent of the Standard writes as follows :--The remarks of some of your contempo raries on the inefficient armament of the French ironclads which took part in the naval festival at Portsmouth shows how little is really known in England of what is being done in this respect by the French Government. It is true that these ves sels are at present only armed with the 50 pounder smooth bore and the 68 pounder hooped rifle, but the Government is now making strenuous exertions to render their artillery superior to ours, and if our authorities are not a little more on the alert they will succeed. The system which is now being worked out in France was introduced by an Englishman of the name of Parsons. He submitted a plan to the Emperor of making new and strengthening the old-fashioned cast-iron guns by lining them with a reinforced tube of steel; the suggestion was acted on, and an experimental gun altered under Mr. Parson's superintendence. The endurance it showed was so astonishing that the Government officials, who were at first dead against the scheme, are now so convinced of its superiority to all others that its adoption is decided on, and some very formidable guns are in course of construction on this plan. I have fortunately been able to obtain full particulars of the trial of this gun, for the correctness of which I can vouch, and I think it will have the effect of opening the eyes of some of our great gunmakers at home, who as yet have done nothing to equal it. The following are the particulars :—The gun was originally a cast-iron 30-pounder, weighing 604 cwt., and it was con verted into a 100-pounder rifle, weighing, when altered, about 62 cwt., of which the steel lining tube weighed 15: 4 1 cwt., the original calibre of 62 inches being retained. It was tested at Gavre, and sus tained 510 rounds with a charge of 91b of powder, and 661 b. cylindro-concidal shot, then 500 rounds with 16i1b. of powder, and 100 lb. cylindrical shot. During the test, which continued over a considerable time, the bore was constantly gauged, and gutta percha impressions taken of it, but at the end of the 1010 rounds not the slightest flaw or enlargement of the bore could be detected. A great portion of the firing was at high elevations, varying from 15 deg. to 20 deg., and on some occasions the firing was continued with the greatest rapidity pos sible, until the gun was so heated that it was almost dangerous to load it, and it was then suddenly cooled by deluging it with cold water. A number of rounds were also fired with a considerable air space left in the powder chamber, which is well known to artilleryists to be the most destructive test a gun can possibly be subjected to ; in fact, every effort was made to burst it, but up to this period without effect, and the gun was then practiCally as good as when the firing com menced. The charge was then increased to 26k1b. of powder and a shot of 1351 b., in order to test the gun a l'outrance, and ascertain if with this excessive charge the breech fastening would ex hibit any sign of weakness. Mr. Parsons pointed out that from the great length of the charge, which occupied half the length of the bore, the first shock of the explosion would extend to the chase of the gun not designed to sustain it, and predicted its failure at this point. The gun, however, sustained ten more rounds with this enormous charge, and burst at the eleventh, exactly in the part predicted, leaving the breech and reinforce intact. lam assured that there is no known instance of any gun, however costly, having sustained so severe a test in proportion to its weight and calibre, and if the large guns now being made bear anything like a proportionate charge, and show a like endurance, they will be more formidable than anything we have got to bring against them." LAW INT, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE EDWIN THOMAS REEVES. The bankrupt was described as of the Strand Music Hall, vocalist, and of other addresses. it may be remem bered that the bankrupt was recently singing at the Strand Music Hall, his debiit being advertised extensively, and the bankrupt being announced as the brother of the great English tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves. The debts are only £290, with no assets, and the cause of the bankruptcy is stated to be inability to obtain pupils and an engagement, together with pressure of creditors. To-day - cps appointed for the order of discharge, which it was understood would be granted. IN RE WILSON. This bankrupt was a stock and sharebroker, of Crown court, Threadneedle-street, and to-day he applied for the order of discharge. The debts are £25,250, and the defi ciency £21,480. Mr. Lawrence for the assignees offered no opposition, and the order was granted. IN RE PHILP. This bankrupt was described as an author and publisher of Colebrook-row, Islington, and to-day was appointed for the order of discharge. The debts are £1,132, and the deficiency £1,052, the failure being caused by literary speculation. In the absence of opposition the order was granted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. CAUGHT AT LAST. George Clark, a well known thief, was indicted for steal ing a coat, the property of a pawnbroker in Brick-lane, Spitalfields. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. From the evidence it appeared that the first robbery the prisoner committed on the day in question was the removal of a quantity of silk from a warehouse-man's cart, with which he got clear off. His next robbery, a few hours after, was that of a lady's reticule, which he snatched from her arm as she was walking. A lad saw the prisoner steal the reticule, and pursued him, calling "Police ;" but in this case he also succeeded in eluding the police. Later, however, in the day he stole the coat, but in this in stance he tempted his fortune too much, and he was cap tured. The lad who saw the lady robbed identified tho prisoner as the person who stole the reticule. The jury pronounced him guilty. The police officer in charge of the case said the prisoner had only been discharged from prison a week, where he had been confined for stealing carpet. The Assistant Judge sentenced him to two years' im• prisoninent with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—John Brigenshaw, a lad apparently not more than 16 or 17 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor this morning charged with driving over a female and causing her death. The defendant, it appeared, was driving a heavily-laden van belonging to Messrs.W. and A. Gilbey, of Oxford-street, on Monday afternoon about half-past four, and was pass ing in front of the Mansion-house at the time the accident occurred. According to the evidence of the witnesses-- none of whom appeared to have seen the occurrence very distinctly—it appeared that two women were running across the road, and by some means they fell down A time-keeper of the omnibuses saw them fall and picked one of them up, and was about to turn round to help the other up when he saw her knocked down by the defendant's horses, and before he had time to extricate her the wheels of the van passed over her head. Police constable Regan, 488, who was close by, heard the outcry, and saw the wheels pass over her head, and stopped the horse as the hind wheel was touching her. The woman was extricated and put into a cab to be taken to the hos pital, but died before she got there. The defendant, it appears, was driving at a very slow pace at the time. Inspector Foulger said he had made every inquiry, and had sent information to all the police stations, but had not been able to ascertain who the deceased was. The:defendant was remanded to await:the result of the coroner's inquest, and was admitted to bail in one surety in £5O. BOW STREET. Frederick Mill, a chimney-sweep, was placed before Mr. Flowers charged with stealing a ham bone, the pro perty of Mr. Batter, the proprietor of a ham and beef shop in the Strand. James Thomas, shopman to Mr. Batter, said that last evening he was busy serving customers in the shop, when the prisoner walked in and deliberately went to the farther end of the shop, took up the ham bone, and walked out with it under his arm. He followed him, and on coming up with him near the Dark-arches, prisoner knocked him down ; he, however, got up, followed him, and on taking hold of him again a struggle ensued, during which the policeman came up, and on his attempting to take the pri soner into custody ho resisted violently, but ultimately he was overpowered and taken to the station-house. The complainant further stated that his shirt and waistcoat were entirely destroyed by the prisoner iu the struggle. Mr. Flowers—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—Say, your Worship ? Why, that I paid for the ham. I gave the man a silver sixpence, and as I was going out of the shop he said he wanted threepence more, which I didn't mean to give him. He told me the ham bone was only sixpence. Thomas --Nothing of the kind took place. He came into the shop, took up the ham, and walked off with it without saying a word. Ho appeared quite sober, but when the constable came up he began to conduct himself as if he were intoxicated. Prisoner—l was knocked down for nothing. I was a little elevated, it's true. Mr. Flowere—Not when you were knocked down. Prisoner—Of course not. (Laughter.) I paid him for the ham, and no mistake. Police-constable 126 F said he came up while the witness Thomas was struggling with the sweep. He took hold of him, and then he made a desperate attempt to get away. He, after some trouble, got him to the station-house, but not before he (witness) was as black as the prisoner. (Laughter.) _ Prisoner—Why, I never had any parley with him, your worship. He shoved his knuckles into my throat, and in course I tried to move 'em. I never made any objection to go into the gentleman. Constable—He wanted to go down the dark arches. If I had let him do so I should never have got him out again. When we arrived at the station-house the prisoner said nothing about paying for the ham-bone himself. On the contrary, he said his wife was outside the shop and he was going to get the money to pay for it. Prisoner—l know I paid for the ham. _ _ _ Mr. Flowers—l shall remand you for a week iu order that some inquiry may be made about you. WESTMINSTER. GROSS CRUELTY TO AN INFANT.-Mr. John Roach, resid ing at 15, Sutherland-street, Pimlico, was brought up on a warrant, by Sergeant Brooker, that he did unlawfully and cruelly neglect to provide proper food and clothing to John Kelly, aged 5 years, placed in his care and control, prisoner being the uncle of the child. Mr. Smith appeared for prisoner. The child was found in a most deplorable condition last week in an empty room, covered with filth and human excrement, and taken to the workhouse. A summons was applied for and granted, but information having been re ceived that Roach was about to leave the country for America a warrant was obtained against the prisoner, and he was apprehended by Sergeant Brooker, 26 B. Mr. Rogers, from the parish of St. George's, Hanover square, appeared to prosecute for the parish. Mr. George Badderly, assistant overseer, said —On Wednesday last I went to the defendant's house with two of the police. In a dark back kitchen I was just able to discern the child, now in court. Witness described the room and furniture, which were in a shockingly filthy state. The child was full of vermin ; its loins were a mass of lice, and its head had a scald and was also full of lice. The mattress was saturated with urine, and the boards also. The child was weighed on Friday and weighed 24 lbs., and was 5 years old last September. It was weighed this morning and was a pound heavier. Witness gave further evidence of neglect. In cross-examination nothing was elicited. _ _ Sergeant Brooker corroborated. When prisoner was on the way to the station he said he was head of the family and must suffer for it. It was lucky they took him, as he was going to America. The other children looked healthy and well. There was no appearance of want. Mrs. Martha Emma Woolston gave similar evidence, showing that the child was always ravenous and ate the food she threw away. Walter James Woolston also corroborated. Medical evidence having been given describing neglect and insufficiency of food, after some discussion as to the liability of the defendant the case was adjourned for a week. THAMES. TRYING TO BITE A MAN'S NOSE OFF.—James Dempsey, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting James Pearson and attempting to bite his nose off. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is 55 years of age, and a plate-layer on the London and Blackwall railway, had the misfortune to have the prisoner in his house as a lodger, and a very noisy and disorderly one he turned out to be, continually swearing, shouting, and drinking with his countrymen, who occasionally assembled there in large numbers. At last the prosecutor ;distrained on the pri soner's goods for rent due, but he would not leave the house, and threatened to have Poarson's life. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner and several others were in his room ready to meet and pummel Pearson when he came home. The prosecutor gave notice of the intended violence at the station-house in Kingsland-lane, and said he apprehended personal danger. lie was requested by Police-sergeant Sutherland to go home, and to send for the police if any person attacked him. The police constables were directed SOUTHWARK. A FAITHLESS WIFE AND HER PARAMOUR.—WiIIiam Johnson, a labourer, was charged with assaulting a man named William Dowe, and both parties live in Red Cross court, Borough. From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared that his wife had for some time been living with the pri soner, and occasioned him considerable annoyance by coming to his lodgings. Last evoning she repeated this conduct, and he was obliged to leave his lodgings -in consequence of her gross abuse of him. She followed him into the Catherine Wheel public-house, whore she saw the prisoners. They both asked him to go to the place where they wore living to see his children. When he got up to the second flight of stairs the prisoner attacked him, knocked him down stairs, and except that he was caught by the landlord of the house in his arms he might have been brained. As it was he had received severe injuries, and his face was very much disfigured. His wife encouraged the prisoner to continue his assault on him, crying out "follow him up." He could not say whether she struck him, he was so stupified by the violent treatment he had received. The prisoner said be merely pushed the prosecutor, and if he was struck it was by the woman. James Perry, landlord of the house where the prisoner lived, proved to having seen the assault committed, and the prosecutor came "thundering" down stairs, when he caught him in his arms. The prisoner repeated his previous statement, and said the prosecutor came to his place, making some inquiries about his children, and he had never seen him before, and he was living in his present lodgings for eight months. The fact was that he was assaulted outside his place by the prosecutor and some of his friends, and had received a black eye in consequence of their violence. He called a witness, who said the prosecutor and his wife fell down stairs together, and the prisoner did not assault him. Mr. Woolrych sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT.—WiIIiam Rowe, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with embezzling money received on account of his employer, Mr. Edward Pointing, dairyman, Groat Pulteney- street. Two cases wore proved in which the prisoner had re ceived money daily from two of Mr. Pointing's customers in the Albany and Warwick-street and never accounted for the same. The prosecutor said the prisoner was authorised to receive money from the customers and to account for the same every evening. He had never accounted for any money received from two customers in the Albany and Warwick-street. On his (prosecutor) making application for the amounts due-18s. and Bd. and 13s. 3id.—he found that the prisoner had been paid every day for the milk supplied. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who said he was guilty, the prosecutor stating that there were other cases against the prisoner. Putting Down the Betting Houses. At the Guildhall Police-court, yesterday, Mr. Charles Bush, of No. 2, Bell-yard, Gracechurch• street, was sum moned before Mr. Alderman Phillips by Mr. Alfred Laurence Foster, superintendent of the City Police, for keeping a room for the purpose of betting with persons resorting thereto upon horse-races. Mr. Poland, instructed by the City solicitor, prosecuted ; and Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Thomas Beard, de fended. Mr. Poland having stated the case very shortly, called Thomas Griffiths, who said—l am a police-constable. I went to No. 2, Bell-yard, Gracechurch-street, on the 6th of August, and again on the 10th. On the ground floor there is a furniture shop, and the defendant's office is on the first floor. The name of Mr. Bush was painted in black letters on the door-post. There was an officer of the name of Warren with me. When I want there were about 15 or 16 men in the room, and a person seated at a desk with a book in his hand. The defendant was in the room taking money, and there was a case containing racing -lists there; it was for the Stewards' Plate and the Reading Stakes. There were also lists of other horse-races, with the odds. I saw one man point to the name of a horse in the lists and give the defendant a sovereign. The defendant then communi cated with a man at a table, who had a book, and he then made an entry in it. One man who came into the room said, "I will back Endsleigh." I saw him point to a horse-list, and he whispered something to the defendant, who said to the bookmaker, "Enter 10 to 4on Endsleigh." An entry was made, and I saw the man take a £5-note from his pocket, which he give to the defendant, who returned him £l. I asked him the odds on Pearl Diver for the Stewards' Plate, and he said, " Three to one." I went again on the 11th of August, and each time I saw the defendant there and several other persons. This evidence was confirmed by Robert Warren, police constable 552. Mr. Metcalfe contended that the act was neverintended to put a stop to betting which was conducted in a proper and legitimate manner, otherwise if the Legislature had intended to suppress betting proceedings would be taken against Tat tersall's. His client was a highly respectable man, was a member of Tattersall's and also of the Victoria Club, and he could not see that the act of Parliament was formed more for the suppression of betting in the City than it was for the West -end. Mr. Metcalfe then argued that the money might have been received for other purposes, such as in payment of a debt incurred on a previous race, or as money received for re-investment. Mr. Alderman Phillips —It is quite plain to me that no person would bet 10 to 4on a race which had come off. If Messrs. Tattersall came into the City they would be dealt with in the same way. The fact is these betting offices aro public nuisances, and I think the magistrates aro quite right in the course they have taken for their suppression. I shall fine the defendant £2O and £2 costs. The' fine was paid. Mr. George Wiltshire, of the Blue Last, No. 1, Broadway, Ludgate-hill, also appeared to a summons for allowing betting in his house wilfully and knowingly. In this case Mr. Lewis, jun., defended. Thomas Griffiths gave evidence as to seeing two betting men with books in the bar, and that a man came from the parlour and said that there was a policeman in private clothes there, on which the defendant said, "Has any money passed ?' and being assur e d that none had passed, he said, ":'ill right; they cannot d o anything to me, as I Goodwood Stak es . s do u n sp l ic s i e o e n m fo o r ne th y e pass." A bet wa s made on a horse named Mr. Lewis said he would take the evidence of the wit ness as entirely confirmed, and would first go upon the act, that as the defendant did not himself bet with the other parties it did not apply to him. It stated distinctly that the landlord must not be found betting with those who came to the house. He should also submit that there was insufficient proof, inasmuch as the Court would scarcely convict a licensed victualler of wilfully and know ingly permitting betting in his house merely because one bet had been made in one of the compartments of his bar. The summons was dismissed on the ground of insuffi cient evidence as to wilfully and knowingly allowing betting in his house. Mr. Robert Francis Beeton of the Nottingham Castle, fi A n n e g d e s 2 t o r e a Angel-e, pleaded a c d o e s d t s ; guilty ttn da to sec t o h n e d s s a u nle m o o f f n e s nc e, was an granted ra n w t e a was against a man named Barnett, of No. 1, Pudding-lane, who did not appear to his summons. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market opens with less excitement, and the sales will probably foot up 15,000 bales. During the last few days there has been rather less activity in the foreign and colonial produce markets. Sugars, however, have fully supported former prices. Coffee has been in fair demand, and superior descriptions of colonial have brought full rates. Rice has been neglected, while tallow has been in moderat e r equest, the de man d for consump tion having slightly increased, and prices h ave b een generally well maintained. THE CHOLERA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) SOUTHAMPTON, Monday Evening. I regret to have to announce that since my last report another fatal case of Asiatic cholera has oc curred in this town. The unhappy victim was a highly respectable man, 62 years of age named Henry Westcott, residing at No. 11, Anglesea-terrace, Chapel. After a slight attack of diarrhoea, extending over two or three days, Dr. Bencraft was called in on Thursday evening, and he almost immmediately came to the conclusion that it was a case of Asiatic cholera. On Friday the poor fellow was seen by Dr. Wiblin, M.R.C.S., medical officer of quarantine at South ampton ; Professor Parkes, of Netley Hospital ; and Dr. Cooper, the medical officer of health, but, not withstanding all the aid that could be rendered, he died at t y en minutes to five on Friday evening. The cause of death was certified by Dr. Bencraft as " Asiatic cholera," and I am informed by some of the medical gentlemen named that every symptom of the genuine form of that dreadful disease was present in this case—such as vomiting, purging, cramping in all the limbs, ricewater evacuations, marked cho leraic voice, sunken eyes, and the peculiar shrivelled appearance of the hands and extremities. This case, with the fact that others with premonitory symptoms are occurring, has been communicated by the autho rities to the medical department of the Privy Council, who I understand intend to despatch an inspector to Southampton to co-operate with the mayor and to take such steps as may be necessary to preserve the health of the town. In connexion with this subject I have still greater regret in announcing to you that during the last few days there has been an outbreak of cholera at Sholing - common and at Bitterne, situate relatively about four and two miles from Southampton, both healthy districts, situate on a gravelly soil, abundantly sup plied with good water, and on former visitations of this epidemic totally free from any attacks. They are situate on the south-eastern side of the river Itchen. The two cases at Sholing-common have proved fatal ; of seven cases at Bitterne two have proved fatal—the other patients are, it is hoped, improving. The four deaths have been certified by Dr. Osborne, who attended all the cases, as " cho lera." There is also a marked prevalence of diarrhoea all over the district of Bitterne. This sad visitation has, as might be expected, ex cited much alarm in the neighbourhood, and this afternoon a public meeting has been held at Bitterne, presided over by the rector, the Rev. Mr. Usborne, to devise remedial measures. The meeting was at tended by nearly a hundred of the resident gentry, landowners, and other inhabitants. Dr. OSBORNE opened the proceedings by detailing the circumstances of the sad visitation, and urged on the wealthy and influential inhabitants the ne cessity of entering into a public subscription, more especially for the purpose of purchasing every requisite that might be necessary for disin- fecting and deodorizing the premises of the poorer population, and giving them such necessaries and comforts as may be required. He read a num- ber of rules which had been drawn up by Professor Parkes and himself for the purpose of directing the people how to act in the event of their being attacked by diarrhcea. Dr. PARKES, of the Royal Military Hospital, Netley, then addressed the meeting, and gave some valuable Indian details, as well as those collected from the Board of Health returns, as to the invalu able system of house-to -house visitation. He re commended the appointment of a committee, con sisting of gentlemen who would take upon them selves the duty of visiting and examining the water closets and cesspools of the poorer people, and dis tributing among them disinfecting and deodorizing preparations. Among other suggestions, he laid particular stress upon one, that the inhabitants should be supplied with pure water, conveyed daily to the dwellings of the poor. Mr. J. HOARE next spoke, proposing the forma tion of a committee, and named several gentlemen, who all acquiesced in giving gratuitous aid. He then introduced Dr. WIBLIN, of Southampton, who said he had seen several visitations of cholera, and had consi derable experience in .that fearful disease. He had seen some of these cases at Bitterne with Dr. Os- borne, and speaking, as he did, of the nature of the disease in his own locality (Southampton), he did not consider it proper to use eany degree of reticence on the nature of the complaint which had made its appearance. Ile had taken a very active part in the treatment of Asiatic cholera in three severe visitations of the disease, and he had no hesitation 1041 1 211 in saying that the present resembled in every symp tom the disease he had seen on those occasions. The enemy was at their door, and they should be prepared to meet it in the best way they could. Resolutions were agreed to to carry out the ob jects of the meeting, and a subscription was com menced, headed by Mr. Hayes for ten guineas. Bitterne and Sholing-common are the districts lying immediately contiguous to the Royal Military Hospital at Netley. The weather here is brilliantly beautiful—by day an unclouded sky and burning s un , w i t h light and' pleasant breezes from the eastward, at night heavy dews, the moon and stars shining brightly. The season has been exceptionally fine, and the tempe rature now more closely approximates to July than to that ordinarily experienced in October. Scarcely a drop of rain has fallen for the last five weeks. A break-up of the weather is universally desired, since it is thought that a heavy downfall of autumnal rains, with such disturbance in the atmosphere as would be caused by the periodical equinoctial gales from the south-west, would probably have important and beneficial effects upon our sanitary condition. Alpine Tourists• (Prom a Correspondent of the Times.) CIIAMOUNIX, Sept. 27. There is nothing in the world, I believe, calculated to give six hours of more unnaingled delight than the drive from Aosta to Courmayeur. We left the for mer place at noon on Monday in a one-horse chaise, and toiled up the narrowing valley in full sight of the monarch of mountains. The sun was declining behind it as we advanced, and its rays set forth its domes and aiguilles, its various ridges and cliffs, with a distinctness which would have been extraordinary on any year except this one, in which Alpine tourists have had throughout the weather " made to order." Those six hours' drive led us through a perfect maze of mountains, along fields and vineyards, woods and pastures, the luxuriancy of which does not seem to belong to this pcor work-a-day world. The people of Aosta have not known such a vintage, such a harvest of chestnuts, walnuts, and fruits of every description, as the present one for this many a year ; and the bins that bear the date of 1865 will be the delight of connoisseurs throughout Europe for more than one generation, unrivalled by any previous crop, either as to quantity or quality. The joy of the pea santry, as they went to their easy work, revelling in that great lavish of nature, had something catch ing in it. We were in a trance of delight all the time, wondering at the golden fruit ripening on the chestnut-trees, more 'fruit than leaves, laughing at the boys and girls that passed us with full baskets, and their faces all besmeared with the blood-red must which trickled down their heads, and now and then lifting our eyes to gaze at the gushing waterfalls wearing out deep chasms in the wood-clad mountain side. To go over that ground and not to be happy so long as the drive lasts would be impos sible for the most heavily care-laden mortal. From Courmayeur to Chamounix there is a variety of roads, the Col du Geant and the Glacier de Miage, right across Mont Blanc, and the Val de Ferret and the Col de Balme, round the great moun tain on the right, or the Col de la Seigne and Col du Bonhomme, around it on the left. We decided for the latter route. My seven-league boots have been left behind long ago, on the sunny side of 50, and I am no longer up to an ascent up to the very shoulder of the great European giant ; we, there fore, chose to walk up the Allee Blanche as far as the Col de la Seigne, go down to Chappieux for our night quarters, and, on the morrow, travel across the Col du Bonhomme, down to Condamines and Sallenehes. You need not ask whether the weather was favourable to our trip. The sky was wrapped in dense clouds as we left Courmayeur at half-past 5, and before we had gone up to La Saxe at the entrance of the Allee Blanche, at 6 the clouds had cleared off as rapidly as the curtain rises at a theatre, and the whole firmament was a mass of deep blue, from the midst of which Mont Blanc stood up, blushing all over with the rich rosy tints of the rising sun. Silent and desolate that valley of the Allee Blanche opened before us, hoary with the dilapidation of centuries—its steep crags all bare and rugged, its richest glaciers turned into dull and dingy crumbling moraines. The glittering beauty of the Alps is gone for this year. The heat and glare of this unexampled September have drained to their last drop the great reservoirs of Europe ; and, were the world to witness a succession of eight or ten such summers as this, I really believe the irri gation of the lowlands of Italy and France would be impaired, and the whole aspect of Europe would be changed. A quelqueehose nzalheur est bon, nevertheless. If the Alps have lost much of their beauty, and per haps some of their usefulness, owing to this never ending drought, there is no doubt but the melting of the ice has made them more accessible, and there is no year on record in which so many ascents of the highest summits and so many journeys across the loftiest passes have been achieved. The portals are opened, and it is given to the meanest mortal to explore the innermost recesses of the temple. I was assured at the Riflieberg that the top of Monte Rosa was reached on an average at least twice in the week throughout the season. The same, I saw with my own eyes, was the case with the Wetterhorn, the Eiger, and most of the peaks of the Oberland. We need say nothing of Mont Blanc, which will soon be as commonplace as the Rhigi. Even as lam writ ing I hear the reports of guns announcing the tale arrivals of two different parties who are to attempt the summit of Mont Blanc to-morrow. On the Col de la Seigne we fell in with a boy who was car rying to Chamounix the portmanteau of a lady, who had that very morning ventured across the Col du Geant. The Alps have become a mere plaything, and adventurous climbers must seek for a worthier field among the mountains of the moon. We came to the summit of the Col de la Seigne at about 12 o'clock at noon. The scenery is of a grand but savage character, and the sun glare laid it as bare before us as if the earth had no more atmo sphere than the moon is said to have. A wild, stern, barren scenery, unredeemed by any beauty ; with not the least sight of green, and hardly a speck of snow here and there; the heat per fectly killing, even on the summit of the Col. Two hours more would have taken us down to Chap pieux, where the prospect of a long dreary afternoon stared us in the face. So upon reaching Mottet, half way down, we resolved to strike across the Col des Tours, leaving the Col du Bonhomme on our left, thus getting over the two passes at one pull, and achieving two days' work in one. It was done ; we drank some some sour wine and ate a crust of bread at Mottet, then toiled up the high wall of this Col des Tours, and hence clambered down the stony descent as far as Nant-Boran and Condamines. It was severe work, but we reached Condamines before 6, having travelled the best of 13 hours, and left behind us two of the great ribs of Mont Blanc. This morning we left Condamines at 7 in a char a-banc drawn by one mule, came thumping and jolting down one of the most stony roads in the world, reached St. Gervais at 10, and thence, leav ing Sallenches on our left, we took a short new cut to Servoz, and came up to Chamounix at 2 p.m. I was already familiar with this place, but had come to it in former times from the Col de Balme, and was not aware of the overpowering beauty of its approach from the heights of Servoz. Here, as at Courmayeur, Zermatt,Grindelwald, and other places high up in the mountains, the beauty is less in the spot itself than in the road to it. Here at Chamounix you are neither on the summit nor at the base of the mountain. This may be a good pied a terre for the tourist, convenient to start from on a variety of excursions ; and even in that capacity I think Cha. mounix is in a great measure surpassed by Cour mayeur. The Crammont, at the latter place, en joys a grander panorama than the Flegere at the former. Mont Blanc, in my estimation, is not the noblest of mountains. Monte Rosa is a more stu pendous mass; the Jungfrau has more majesty and elegance of outline, the Matterhorn is more unique, more fantastic, more unearthly in his huge pyramidal form ; but Mont Blanc is not only a mountain, it is a world of mountains.

Speculation on the Cesarewitch, this day, was chiefly noticeable for the firmness of the favourite, Salpinctos, about whom 11 to 2 was taken.
