MONEY MARKET AND CODIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued ease prevails in the discount market, the supplies on offer being abundant. The directors of the Bank of England at their meeting to-day having made no alteration in the minimum, the rates remain unaltered. Bar gold to the amount of £28,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Denmark has arrived from New York with specie amounting to £17,000, and the Queen of Nations, from Sydney, has brought gold to the amount of £27,016. The Devana, from Port Philip, brings £86,000 in gold. The biddings for 2,700,000 rs., £270,000, in bills on India, were held to-day at the Bank of Eng land. The minimum price was fixed at ls. 110. on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. Hid. on Bombay. No tenders at these prices were received. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1867. 1866.

On the Great Western Shares there is an increase of £1,577 ; on the North- Western, ,of £2,140 ; on the South- Western, of £2,081 ; on the Brighton, of £2,705 ; on the Midland, of £4,641 ; on the South-Eastern, of £2,607 ; on the Great Northern, of £3,210 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £2,535 ; on the Brist o l an d E xe t er , o f £746 ; on the North- Eastern, of £5,191 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £1,565 ; on the Great Eastern, of £792 ; on the London, Chatham, and Doter, of £2,880 ; on the North British, of £l2O ; and on the Metropolitan, of £406. At the meeting held to-day of the Merchant Banking Company of London, a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was declared for the half-year end ing the 30th June last. At the meeting of the Varna Railway Company to-day, the report to the 30th June last stated that the railway was permanently opened in March last, after having been closed from November, when it had been previously opened with the verbal consent of the Government ; but even this latter date is within the time stipulated by the terms of the concession. The completeness of the railway, SO far as its construction is concerned, is established hY the return of the Sultan to Constantinople by this route with a suite of 700 persons ; so much so that his Imperial Majesty not only expressed his a pproval of the railway in all its arrangements and de tails, but, as a special mark of his satisfaction, commanded that the carpet provided for the impe lila' saloon should be sent to the palace at Constantinople, to be retained as a souvenir of his journey over this railway, which cir cumstance, the directors need not point out, 4, according to Eastern custom, a most complete I ? l.°° f of his Imperial Majesty's approbation. The "rectors had also the satisfaction of informing the aba reholders that the traffic now offering leads them to as sume with confidence, that the railway will earn from this time a sum in excess of its working ~e x Penses, thereby leaving the guarantee available for division amongst the share and obligation :holdersand there is every prospect that it will , i n the of a f ew years , ren d er it se lf independent of guarantee. te , F rom Buenos Ayres, by supplementary mail, in "'gene° h as b een rece i ve d th a t a fire had again broken out in the Government building on the mor ning; of the 27th of July, the day of departure t he mails, and d es t ro yed everything that the pre - IT ' I °us fire had spared. It was evidently the work of taincendiaries, and it is said to have begun in the Secre ,..l7 of the Interior's office, the tapestry of which • ;as saturated with turpentine, and the bars of the other had been also painted with this or some run inflammable material, so that the fire should „„ ti up over the outside of the building. All the '4.,°_l ) ers were destroyed, even those inside the safes. '2 lB sews is corroborated by the Anglo-Brazilian -clines of the 7th of August. Two o'CLocK.

A pamphlet of 16 pages octavo has been published recently by Hall and Co., of 25, Paternoster-row, which merits •the attention of meteorologists, although they may not concur with the senti ments of the author, who it appears, in March last, read a paper upon this subject in the hall of the Society of Arts in London. The pamphlet is addressed officially to the President of the Scottish Meteorological Society, with the title of " Admiral Fitzroy, his Facts and Failures." By Chr. Cooke, author of " A Journey due East," &c. The author having quoted the opinions of se veral naval officers upon the subject, and of northern meteorologists, respecting the real utility of the storm-signal system, carried on by the late Admiral Fitzroy, and having quoted the opinion of Mr. G. Symons, respecting the us 3 which might be made of the barometer in the foreknowledge of mine explosions, describes various weather theories, apparently desiring to do justice to the various theorists—Kirwan, Saxby, Pu Boillay, Plant, &C., who have written upon this subject. The author then proceeds to describe the theory of astro-meteorology, based upon the idea that planetary light, including solar and lunar light, acts upon the earth's atmosphere according to certain angles, formed by the planets amongst themselves, and with respect to the earth. Hence he expects that the 21st of October next will be fine and mild, owing to Jupiter's gaseous influence. This theory will be deemed questionable, doubtless, but it merits more examination and fair play than hitherto it has received. The author shows, from numerous testimonials and statistics, that the late Admiral Fitzroy had predicted truly in many cases, according to the report of the Board of Trade Committee, which was published in 1866, and wherein it was recommended that the system of signalling should for the present be discontinued. Meanwhile the author recommends that at the chief coast-guard stations signals should be dis played, pointing out the rise and fall of the barometer, BO that fishermen and sailors may have some warning beforehand—namely, coloured flags by day and coloured lights by night. Something of this kind has been demanded by numerous petitions and testimonials, recently presented by Colonel Sykes, M.P., and other members of Par liament ; and it seems to deserve official notice, for although the plan might not be successful in all cases, the probability is that it would succeed fre quently, and tend to lessen the fearful sacrifice of human lives which now prevails annually on and near the British coasts. Every movement which tends to decrease the wreck list is worthy of notice and support. It would ap pear from this pamphlet that the Fitzroy system, although far from perfect, was more successful than is generally supposed, and that the good seed already sown may yet produce good fruit when more ma tured by time and experience. For the above-men tioned reason, " Admiral Fitzroy, his Facts and Failures," may be recommended for public perusal, and even for the perusal of professed meteorologists, although they may not feel disposed to believe in the author's theories, or in the theories of the Astro meteorological Society, for which, it seems, he was solicitor during its existence. HORRINGER FAlR.—This important Suffolk fair was held on Tuesday. Business was not very active, but a lot of half-bred Leicester lambs sold at 30s. each, and some useful ewes at 455. each. The Marquis of Bristol was, as usual, an exhibitor, and his entry comprised some excellent half-bred lambs. Some of Mr. Aylmer's well known long-woolled rams found purchasers at from £6 to £9 each. Some ram lambs bred by Mr. G. Kent, of Gaze ley, realised 345. to 555. each ; some shearing rams by the same breeder made 50s. to 90s. each, and ten ewes 13s. 6d. each.

BOW-STREET. A Too CLEVER LETTER WRITER.—A youth named Edward William Lane, a porter at Messrs. Cogswell and Harrison's, gunmaker, 224, Strand, was charged with stealing four revolvers, valued at £5 10s. each, from his employers' premises. Mr. George Lewis, of Ely-place, conducted the prosecution. He stated that the prisoner had been some time in the service of Blessrs. Cogswell and Harrison--at first as errand boy, but latterly as light porter, which was a position a step higher, both as to the trust reposed in him and the amount of wages. A few days ago, however, Mr. Steil man, bookkeeper to the prosecutors, received infor mation from Messrs. Lawley, pawnbrokers, Far ringdon-street, of the following circumstance : A lad, representing himself as being em ployed by the prosecutors, had called at Messrs. Lawley's shop offering a pistol in pledge, and presenting a letter, purporting to be signed by Mr. Harrison, authorising him to pledge the re volver for £2 or sell it for £4, or, if that amount was refused, to take what he could get. Mr. Law ley's assistant, Mr. Henry William Bass, desired him to bring his master's card. The lad went away and returned with the card in about a quarter of an hour. .Ir. Bass detained the pistol, and gave in formation to the prosecutor. On being confronted with him, Mr. Bass at once identified the prisoner, who was given into custody. He was remanded for a few days, and wrote in prison a letter to his mas ters confessing that he had stolen two other re volvers, and pawned them at two pawnbrokers' shops, which he indicated, and another which he con cealed at the back of the warehouse, not being able to find an opportunity for removing it from the premises. He added that he. had now confessed everything he knew, and that he had nothing to do with two burglaries-reeently committed on their premises. He declared that at the time of the but glaries he had never thought of anything dishonest, while he had been subsequently tempted in con sequence of the expenses he had incurred by joining a volunteer corps. The revolvers . were produced mid identified by Mr. Stalmar, upon which the 'pawnbrokers gave them up to the prosecutors. The prisoner had nothing to say but that he had confessed everything. Mr. Lewis said if the prosecutors believed that they would not press the prosecution beyond this court; but as they had gond reason to apprehend that he knew a great deal more than he acknow ledged, they must ask the magistrate to send the case to a jury. The prisoner was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Charles Barman, a respectable-looking young man, was charged before Alderman Lusk, to-day, support with refusing o fhis mother, t ommahkere, any allowance towards the o is nearly 70 years old, and an inmate of the East London Union. It appeared the prisoner was a brushmaker at Bow, and employed three or four men. There were two other sons, both in employment. The refusal of the defendant to contribute anything to the mother's support was said to arise from some ill feeling between him and the brothers. Mary Ann Barman, the mother of the defendant, deposed to the fact that for the last five years 'she was incapable of earning anything. The defendant, who has a wife and one child, said that he was laid up for six months in the year with disease of the lungs and dropsy, and that he had to pay heavy doctors' bills. He had only one man in his employment, and he was quite unable to do more than barely support himself and family. The Magistrate appealed to the good feeling of the defendant to contribute to his mother's main tenance, and on his refusal to do so, ordered him to pay 2s a-week. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT AND NARROW ESCAPE. —Margaret Brown was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct and assaulting police-con stable Thomas Hand, 51 E." The constable stated that he was on duty last night about 11 o'clock when he saw the prisoner, who was intoxicated, three times attempt to throw herself under the omnibuses, and but for the circum stance that one of the drivers suddenly pulled up, nearly overturning his omnibus in doing so, the wheels would have gone over her. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether he meant to say the prisoner was trying to get herself killed? The constable said she was, but he believed the principal object was to get money. A constable said the prisoner was an unfortunate, frequenting Bedford-square. The prisoner asked the constable how he dared to say such a thing. _ _ The gaoler informed the magistrate that the pri soner had been once before charged at the court, and he believed with a similar thing. The prisoner said she had been drinking, but a llowed her to go. c ould have found her way home if the constable had hand said the prisoner was very violent, and kicked him, and he was obliged to get some one to assist him in taking her into custody. Mr. Knox said the prisoner was known as a dis orderly person, and would have to pay 20s. or 14 days. CARRIAGE THIEVEs.—John M oor e and John Smith, two young men, w ere c h arge d with attempt ing to steal a parcel from a carr i a ge. Sergeant Cole saw the prisoners go up to different carriages, and, after looking into them, they walked away. Moore then walked up to a carriage and lifted up a parcel, but being noticed by the coach man, he dropped the parcel, and walked away with his companion. Sergeant Cole followed the priso ners, and took them i n t o custo d y . The prisoners had no d e f ence to ma k e , b u t asked to be dealt leniently with. Sergeant Cole said that he believed the prisoners were 'at large on tickets of leave, and they would therefore at the expiration of any sentence his worship might inflict upon them have to go back for the remainder of their term. Mr. Knox asked the sergeant whether there was any probability of finding the coachman. Sergeant _Cole said . he thought not. Mr. Knox said that being the case he would deal with the prisoners under the Vagrant Act, and commit them for three months' hard labour each. THAMES. How PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THE P UBLIC STREETS.— Paget charged with furiously and recklessly driving a ho rse an d car t i n the public streets, to the danger of passengers an d vehicles. brought janieS C before ottle, MI. a man "ab ou t 30 years of Charles Stroud, a police constable, No. 270 K, stated that last night, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, he saw the prisoner in a cart which con tained seven or eight men and women. The pri soner was driving the horse at a furious pace along High-street, Shadwell, from Ratcliff -high way. People were screaming and shouting in all directions, and several called to the prisoner, who took no notice of them, and proceeded at the rate of 11 or 12 miles an hour. He called to the prisoner to stop, but no notice was taken of him. He ran alongside of the horse and cart for some distance, and at last caught hold of the reins, a young man at th 3 same time on the other side of the horse caught the reins, and at the immi nent risk of their lives the horse rind cart were stopped. A cabman came up and complained that the prisoner had run against his cab and injured it. The prisoner was very drunk, and said he had been to Barnet Fair. He was about to take the horse and cart home when the prisoner's friends pitched him out of the cart. He then took the horse and cart back to the station house, and thence to the Green -yard. Timothy Cox, police sergeant, No. 45 K, stated that the people in the line of street over which the horse and cart passed were very much alarmed, and several narrow escapes took place. and was return ingT fromhe Barnet sa F id air b . e was tipsy' Mr. Paget—More shame for you to be driving a horse and car along the public streets while you were in a state of intoxication. It is rack . t disgrace ful. This is how people are killed in tho. streets. The prisoner was then sentenced to pi f a fine of 20s. THE TRAGEDY IN LIMEHOUSE.—John I.Viggins, a lighterman, charged with the wilful murde r of Agnes Oaks, a woman with whom he cohabited and with cutting his own throat, in Lower North-street, Limehouse, on the morning of the 24th of July last, was brought up on remand for the fourth i;irne. An arrangement was made between Mr. Poland, counsel for the Crown, who is instructed by Mr. Pollard, clerk to the Treasury solicitor., and Mr. Charles Young, the prisoner's solicitor, that the prisoner should be brought up to-day, r to evidence offered, and be again remanded until lie: et Tuesday. This arrangement was carried out, and the pri soner was put into the dock and formal7y remanded. Inspector Brady, of the K division, applied for a summons to enforce the attendance of a witness, who could give important evidence agalnst Wiggins. Mr. Paget granted a summons. WESTMINSTER. GROSS OUTRA GR.—M. Fitzinorres and E.Gellings, two young women, were placed at the bar, charged with committing the following outrage. James Massingham, a very respectable-looking middle-aged man, said, " Last night I was quietly passing Hyde-park-corner when these women sud denly rushed upon me, and seizing my umbrella tried to take it away from me, called me very bad names, and pushed me about." Mr. Arnold—Were they strangers to you ? Prosecutor—Perfect strangers. Mr. Arnold—Had you any conversation With them before this occurred ? Prosecutor—Not a word had passed between us. After what I have described one of them took off her shawl and flecked it in my eyes, and that it hurt them. I said I would give them in charge, when they got into a cab and laid -down in the bottom of it, but I found a policeman and gave them in charge. Mr. Arnold—What became of the umbrella ? Prosecutor—l succeeded in keeping it. Policeman William Watling, 197 B, said he found the women in the cab, and took them in charge. Mr. Arnold—Were they sober ? Constable—Yes. One had been drinking a little, I think. Mr. Arnold—Was prosecutor sober ? Policeman—Perfectly. Mr. Arnold—What did the women say when you took them ? Policeman—They accused one another about trying to take the umbrella. The women said they had nothing to say. They were committed for one month each to hard labour. EXTENSIVE POISONING BY MUSHROOMS. An inquest was held on Tuesday night by Mr. S. T. Langhatn, the deputy-coroner for IVestminster, touching the death of Miss Annie Warton, aged 17, who fell a victim, as it is believed, to the poisonous effect of a certain class of mushrooms. Six other persons were also poisoned, including Mr. Alfred IVarton, the father, an Italian warehouseman, of 13, North Audley-street, Grosvenor-square, who is still suffering. Mrs. Ann Warton, mother of the deceased, said her family of six, including herself and husband, and accompanied by one of their ser vants, went to Chislehurst for a short time, and on Friday last her now deceased daughter there gathered some mushrooms in Slade's-wood. Some were selected by her daughter as being good and wholesome, and were grilled. Others were sub mitted to the judgment of a friend and neighbour, and were condemned. Some, very small, were pronounced by him to be good to eat. Some eight or ten were fried by their servant in an ordinary pan with butter, and the whole family partook of them at supper. The next morn ing they were all taken ill, and her deceased daughter was so alarmingly bad that they at once came to town, calling upon their medical attendant in Spring-gardens, Charing-cross, on their way home. He most promptly attended, but her daughter died on Sunday afternoon. Dr. Robert Cross deposed to attending the deceased, and find ing her vomiting incessantly, and in a state of general prostration, undoubtedly from poisoning by a vegetable alkaloid. He had tested the refuse of the stomach, and found no signs of mineral poison. She died from crustaceons, or mushrooms of a very poisonous character found in the woods, of which there was a variety. He believed they belonged to the class Agaricus crustulinzforrnis. She died from the effects of the poison on Sunday afternoon at half-past two. He might add that she had suffered from chronic gastritis and subacute inflammation of the stomach, which rendered her more susceptible to the effects of the poison than the other six, who were slowly progressing towards recovery. A ver dict of " Accidental death by eating poisonous mushrooms" was returned. MARKETS.- 7 -This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Although the supply of beasts on offer here to-day was only moderate, the demand for most breeds was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The top figure was 5s per 81b. Sheep, the show of which was by no means extensive, were a slow inquiry, at late rates. The best Downs and half-breds were disposed of at 5s per Blbs. Calves wore quite as dear as on Monday, owing to the small number on offer. The highest price was 5s per 81b.

Lady readers will be interested in the following account of au Alpine excursion by a party of ladies. It has been sent by a correspondent of the Liverpool Daily Post, extracted from a private letter :- 4, Zurich, Switzerland, August 27, 1867. "We joined our friends at the station here on Monday, the 20th, and with them proceeded on a short tour among the Swiss Alps, indeed into the very heart of them. We proceeded by steamer to Rappers-chwyl, at the other end of the lake. We then took the train to Glarns, a place memorable for the great fire, which, a few years ago, consumed every house in the town, leaving the inhabitants without shelter. To-day it presents a far different aspect to what it ever did before, few wooden houses are to be seen, all are built of stone, and are hand some mansions. We visited the cathedral, also a new building, in which beauty and simplicity are combined. Tha Roman Catholics hold their service in it in the morning, and the Protestants in the afternoon. On coining out of the hotel it seemed as if the face of the sky was obscured by a tremen dous black cloud, and so close to us that our very breath felt oppressed as it were ; but this was the colossal mountain, with its stony face, bare of vegetation, it looked the grim monarch of the spot. We stayed here for au hour or so, and then ordered a carriage to take us up to Stachel berg, where we arrived in two hours. Oh what beauty; what grandeur! what awful summits towered away into the clouds ! Numerous were the waterfalls, some descending the face of the moun tains in graceful cascades, others leaping and plunging from rock to rock, disappearing, and again forcing a passage through some cavern. As we neared Stachelberg the great Todti, with its unmelted snows, came in sight. The mountain breeze was cold, and we were glad to gather our cloaks around us. Except the summits, all the mountains around were covered with trees ; here and there were beau tiful verdant slopes, on which goats, pretty piebald creatures,were browsing, and then the Swiss home stead was sure to be near at hand. It seemed to me that the waters of the river and those of the foaming cataracts fed by the melting snows never mixed ; the former were clear and sparkling, the latter of a milky colour. We reached the hotel in time for tea. A large apartment was full of guests, all eating and drinking and talking—such a Babel ! Only another party besides ourselves had a tea-pot before them, which sufficiently tells that England had the fewest representatives. How we all en joyed the delicious rolls, butter, and honey. Strange to say, though having a quiet bedchamber, I could not sleep ; and indeed the whole time I was there I slept but very little. Nevertheless, I did such feats in the way of walking, clambering up the Alpine passes, with my Alpine stock, and feeling, compara tively speaking, no fatigue, that I can only attribute to the air of the mountains the wonderful strength and vigour of my body. " One of our excursions, whilst there, was to the foot of the Todti ; we drove up as far as the hotel, and then set out, staff in hand, to theTanton bridge. Winding our way along the edge of deep ravines, then through beech woods, up paths roughly hewn out of the mountain side, down again into dells, again with desperate efforts climbing the steep and rugged path, we reached the goal—a new-built stone bridge. On a finger-post hard by we were informed that the former one, having stood the torrent for 400 years, had at last been washed away, and that the present one was erected by the Canton of Glarus. Picture to yourself a roaring river rushing madly, as it were, down its inclined bed, jumping over huge rocks, tossing up its foam, and then taking a leap into a chasm of fearful depth. "Not far from this is a plateau, with a couple of benches to rest on, and a memorial—inscribed on the faco of a portion of the mountain, or rather let into it—to a gentleman, a native of Saxony, much loved and respected here in Zurich, who lost his life in the spring of the year in which we arrived here, attempting to ascend the ' Grunhorn'—a part of the Todti range. He was foolish enough to go up without a guide. K--- and the boys went fur ther up, but they had a guide—one of the hotel people having business 0 transact, and a franc re munerated him for his kindness. In the meantime, having rested, we turned to go down the mountain. This was severer work than any, for the sun by this time shone down upon us, and the rocks reflected his rays. But the descent was effected, and glad were we to get under the roof of the Todti Hotel. The host brought us a bottle of delicious Spanish wine, and, with addition of some bread and cheese, we refreshed the inner man, and started off in our one-horse shay for Stachelberg, which we reached in time for dinner at one. " On Friday we left at six in the evening, reached Glarus between 7 and 8, had tea, went to bed, and started at 6 in the morning for Kloenthal—a valley in the Glaruish mountains. Hare the scenery was not of that character which fills the mind with awe, but it was beautiful beyond description. The river, like successive sheets of liquid silver, flowed down the rocky gorge. As we ascended the narrow road, it was evident that great landslips had from time to time taken place ; immense rocks had tumbled down ; and, while some had stuck midway in their descent, others had pitched over into the bed of the river, and out of their crevices sprung up the fir and beech tree. It was a long and steep ascent, but we reached the top at last, and here, stretched out before us, lay the Thai, or valley, with a lake of considerable extent, clear as crystal. From its bed numerous springs rise, by which it is fed, the gorge acting as a waste pipe to carry off its surplus waters. It abounds with fish. While the horses were being fed we had a bottle of wine and some bread. The host of the inn took us across his meadow, and sang one of his Swiss mountain songs, which was beau tifully echoed from the other side ; and now, having inscribed our names in the Strangers' Book,' we bade farewell, and started off on our return to Glarus. Dinner over, we packed up our traps, and walked to the station on the opposite side of the way. " It had occupied us just six hours going and re turning from the Kloenthal. A slight shower of rain before we reached the hotel was the only draw back, but all was over before we took our seats in the train. In a steady downpour of rain we arrived at the Zurich Station. We soon packed into a carriage and drove home ; so thus ended our tour among the mountains. " L. J. T." THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—The telegram announcing the release of the prisoners has not been fol io wed by instructions for countermanding the preparations for the Abyssinian expedition: The work of fitting the ships is being briskly pushed along, and the whole of the transports will be ready in a few days. Of these 14, or two-thirds of the required number, have been taken up in Liverpool-11 for troops, and three for mules and stores. The West India and Pacific Company supply tour— namely, the A m erican, the California, West Indian, and Bolivar; the National Steam Navigation Company two— the England and the Queen, and the fine new steam er , th e France, is under survey , and it is expected will be chartered. The Inman Company furnish the City of Dublin, the City of Manchester, and the Kangaroo; Mr. C. E. Dixon the Bosphorus, and Mr. Fernie the Peruvian. The Meander, belonging to Messrs. Bibby, has been pl ace d under survey for the conveyance of mules ; and th e Bolivar, taken up on Tuesday, was yesterday s en t round to Deptford to be fitted up for the same description o f service. Two of the Liverpool Admiralty surveyors have been despatched to Newcastle to survey the steamers Emperor and Empress, for the conveyance of mules and stores. A detachment of the Military Train, consisting of Captains Morrison and Miller, Lieutenants Devine and Walsh, Ensigns Noake and Stone, and 2G men, left South ampton yesterday in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Massilia, for Alexandria, whence they proceed to Suez for service in connection with the Abyssinian expedition. BEER AND ALE EXPORTS.—The quantity of beer and ale exported from the United Kingdom varies very considerably. During the month of July in the current year, 1,547 barrels were sent to the United States, 1,581 to the British West Indies and Guiana, 8,289 to India, 10,027 to Australia, and 11,121 to other countries, making a total of 32,708 barrels as compared with 50,399 barrels in July of 1866, and 41,721 in the same month of 1865. British India and Australia are the chief markets for those drinks, the declared value of the quantities exported to India in July being £29,766 and to Australia £34,202 sterling. During the past seven months of the year beer and ale have been sent to the former country valued at £387,846, and to the latter country at £278,741 sterling, though a progressive decrease is observed as to the total quantities sent to both countries duriva the rust seven mouths of the, past three years. MEAT. NEWGITE AND LEADENTIALL.—Thore aro good supplies of town-killed meat on salo hero, but only a moderate quantity of country on offer. Beef, from 3s Od to 4s 6d ; mutton, 3s 2d to 45 6d ; veal, 4s Od to 48 8d; pork, 35 6d to 4s 4d per 81bs by the carcase. HAY. MITHFIELD —Meadow hay, £2.15s Ofl to £1 ;' clover, £3 Os to £5 15s Od ; and straw, £1 16s to £2 . 2s per load. A good supply. CUMBERLAND—Meadow hay, £2 los to £4 lOs ; clover, £3 Os to £5 17s 6d; and straw, .£1 165 Od to £2 28 per load. A fair demand. WHITECHAPEL —Meadow hay, £2 17s 6d to £4 7s 6d; clover, £3 Os to £5 17s ; and straw, £1 168 to £2 2s per load. A good trade. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.--A new additional model, life-size, of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan of Turkey, is now added to Madame Tussaud's magnificent gallery in Baker-street. The likeness is pronounced to be most ac curate ; and we feel assured that from the high estimation in which his majesty, during his brief sojourn amongst us e was held by all classes, that the figure will prove an im mense attraction. THE QUEEN'S GILLIE.—A London correspondent says it is understood that the Queen will shortly lose the personal services of her faithful Highland gillie, John Brown, who has been her Majesty's chosen attendant in her rides and drives ever since the death of tha Prince Consort—who had a special liking for and trust in him— transferred him to her service. Ile was included, as it may be remembered, in the striking picture, by Sir Edwin Landseer, of the " Queen at Osborne," in this year's Academy Exhibition, and no photograph could have given a more perfect fac-simile of his personal appearance and respectful bearing. It appears that, despite the confiden tial post assigned him in the R )yal household, he is de sirous to redeem the troth long ago plighted to a young Scotchwoman of his own grade ; and it is understood that a residence in one of the lodges at Balmoral, with the supervision of a certain part of the domain, will prove a gratifying testimonial to him of the value entertained of hls service by his Royal mistress.—Manchester Examiner. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11e110way's Ointment and Pills.— Fear Not ! Though surrounded by circumstances disad vantageous to health,. these remedies, if properly applied, will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria and a host of other complaints always lurking about to seize on the weak, forlorn, and unwary. The superiority of Hol loway's medicines has boen so fully and widely proved for subduing disease, that it is only necessary to ask the indicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions folded around them be followed, no disappointment will ever ensue or dangerous consequences result.

It appeared that the deceased went with two other young men to bathe in a large pond in a brickfield by Queen's-road, Peckham. Whilst in the water they thought fit to dive, and two of them appear to have stuck in the mud after their first plunge. The third man went under after them, and succeeded in recovering ono alive, but th© body of deceased was not drawn out until about two hours had passed. A verdict of "Accidental death while bathing" was returned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAT. Speculation to-day was not of a heavy nature, though several horses were supported for the Great Yorkshire handicap. Monitress, by general consent, remained favourite, but was in no request. There appeared to be most disposition to support Thalia, Miss Harriette, and Seville. The Leger betting underwent no great change except in respect to Vauban, who advanced to 100 to 8, and 7to 4 kindly taken for a place. An even " pony" was betted between Hermit and Achievement the best of one, two three. Prices are appended. ST.
