NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been rather more inquiry in the general Discount Market, owing to the preparations in pro gress to meet commercial payments due on the 4th inst. No charge, however, can be reported in the rates current, which remain at about 11 1f per cent. A further influx of gold, amounting to £57,00), took place at the Bank of England on Saturday last. The Flamstead, from the River Plate, has brought specie to the amount of £98,820, and the Shannon £ 7 3,895. The Weser, from New York, has also arrived with £24,415. Business in the Corn Market continues dull, and owing to large supplies of new home-grown wheat on offer a further decline of I.s. to 2s. per quarter has taken place. Foreign wheat barely maintained former rates. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per the Shannon, the following report, dated Morro Velho, 29th of J uly :—Produce, second division of July, 11 days, 16,514 oifavas ; yield, 7,609 oitavas per ton ; re mittance, 102,087 oitavas 98041b5. troy. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that the business (except in a few instances) has remained quiet. At Manchester the dealings in cloths and yarns have been to a very limited extent, and owing to the late advices from the East Indies and China prices have again receded. 14 the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been a moderate in quiry for seasonable fabrics, and some rather large transactions have been reported in winter goods, chiefly for exportation at about previous rates. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been without much variation, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a slight improvement has been apparent in the demand for goods suitable for home re quirements, shopkeepers in the various principal towns having shown a disposition to sort up stocks to meet harvest requirements. Advices from the north-eastern ports report the arrivals of vessels in the Tyne during the past week to have been 311, of which 53 were screw steamers. The sailings were 183, 47 being screws. There has bee n an increased demand for freight to the Baltic as the season is now far advanced, but the supply has been more than equal to the requirements. On the Wear grain freights have been in some measure depressed by the abated ac tivity in the foreign corn trade, and for the Brazil and West Indies there has been very little inquiry. The demand for London has not been active, ruling at Gs. per ton. At Hartlepool there has been very little animation, freights to London being about Gs. to 6s. 3d. per ton. For foreig❑ parts, however, there has been a fair de mand, particularly for Norway and Sweden and Denmark ; and the herring trade has continued brisk and successful. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per C ent. Rentes were 69f. 70c. this morning. Heavy. Affairs at the Stock Exchange are remarkably firni, all the markets being buoyant, though not by a nY means active. Yet there is more business than n ight be expected considering the absence of so m any operators and the comparatively high range °f quotations. Consols are 94Z for transfer, and the irupending settlement ; and 94i, for October. Foreign Stocks generally are a shade higher.

Child on the all-important subject of the drainage of towns. Mr. Child commences by a reference to the fact that, although the towns in the valley of the Thames will very shortly be compelled to find some other receptacle for their sewage than the river, they have as yet apparently made no effort to provide a sub stitute for its disposal. He might with equal truth and point have included in his opening remark the great majority of the other towns of the kingdom, because it is clear that the decisions of the courts of law and the expressed feelings of the public will no longer tolerate the destruction of the salubrity and the enjoyment of our beautiful rivers and seaboards by the flow thereto of noxious sewage. Mr. Child then proceeds to commend to publi c notice the drainage system of the city of 11.1ilan, which in effect appears to be very much the sam e i n principle as that which was the universal system in this country before the interference of the sanitary doctors who originated the Boards of Health, s cc .,_. namely, a cesspool for every house, to be periodically emptied as occasion required ; the difference in prac tice in favour of the Milan system being the proved mode of emptying the cesspools and carting away their contents. Mr. Child lucidly explains this process, and shows that it is a very pretty hydraulic operation and well adapted to the purpose for which it is Used. Mr. Child having pointed to the urgent necessity for some improved and comprehensive system for the removal of the sewage, and inferentially recom mended the adoption of the Milan system, proceeds to establish its decided superiority to the " water sewage system at present recommended for adop. tion," and there can be no doubt that its adoption at Milan has proved, and its adoption in many places in England would prove, a great advanta6. It labours, however, under many and serious dis advantag, s. It involves the necessity of a cesspool at each house, the frequent emptying of the cess pool, and, the expense and delay of performing the operation at every house ; and it is, moreover, open to the same objection as was raised by Lord Robert Montagu to Moule's earth closets—namely, that it would, if generally adopted and properly carried out, necessitate the use of a very large number of carts and a vast amount of labour. It would not become me to question the expe diency of adopting the plan recommended by Mr. Child, as any improvement in the present miserable system is better than none, unless I was prepared to advocate some other, and in my opinion superior mode of dealing with the sulliage of towns ; and, as Mr. Child speaks upon the authority of what he saw at Milan, I may perhaps be permitted to recommend a system of town drainage upon the strength of what I witnessed at West Worthing. There the solid portion of the sewage, which in fact constitutes the real sulliage, is separated from the water or fluid part before the soluble salts which are contained in the sulliage are dissolved, and is then carried away without the slightest annoyance either in its re moval from the sewers or in its cartage, and in a manner which renders it conveniently available for fertilising purposes. The process by which this is accomplished, and which has now been in operation for upwards of 12 months, consists in the use of portable filters from beneath, the solid portion deposits itself and is re tained in a manure box enclosed in the filter, and the fluid part passes through and is purified by the filtering medium. The filter is lifted daily from the sewer and im mediately replaced by another. This operation is performed in the early morning, but it has fre quently been done in the daytime ; it occupies not more than from five to ten minutes, and does not occasion the slightest annoyance to the occupiers of the houses or to any casual passer by. The fluid or water which runs from the filter is found to be sufficiently pure to admit of its flowing at once into the sea. By this process, equally with the Milan system, but at far less cost, and without its disadvantages, all the evils of the present system of town drainage and all the difficulties of the water system enume rated by Mr. Child are obviated or evaded. It is applicable to any town, without regard to soil or situation, and with little, if any, alteration in the existing culverts or drains ; it does not endanger the water supply, and it produces a manure possessing the same fertilising properties as those contained in the Milan manure, which is removed under condi tions which render it conveniently portable and valuable for agricultural purposes. In conclusion, I would earnestly entreat Mr. Child, to whom I consider the public much in debted, and every other gentleman who takes an interest in this vital question, to visit West Worthing and investigate the merits of the system of drainage which has there been adopted, and continues to be managed by commissioners acting under the powers of a special Act of Parliament, passed expressly to secure the best sanitary provisions for the health and comfort of the inhabitants of the district. LIVERPOOL COTTON 111ASKE7—This Day. The Market opens steadier with a better feel ng. Sales probably fully 10,000 bales. D rt. Li VINGSTONE.—The following, just received in a private letter from Bombay, will be read with hopeful ness by all who are interested in the Into of Dr. Living stone :—" Wo feel great anxiety hero about the fate of the doctor, from whom nothing has been heard for upwards of a year. Wo do not, however, credit the acounts given of his murder by Musa, and his Hinzutini companions. Not a single one of the eleven Christian Africans who accom panied Dr. Livingstone from Bombay has returned to us ; and we conclude that ho has most likely gone with them into the unexplored lake country. Two of them, who were educated to a certain extent in the Mission Institution under myself, were young .A jawas whom he had brought to India; and they were well acquainted with the lan guages of the country to which he was going. Had their master fallen, as described by Musti, both they and their companions (who were all from the Church Mission at Nasik) would, we are confident, have sought to return to India, where they have many warm friends willing to assist them in a settlement in Africa were it necessary,"— A thenmuni.

MARK L INE. There was a moderate supply of new English wheat on sale in the country markets hold on Saturday. For all descriptions the inquiry was limited, and prices, in some instances, were is to 2s per qr. lower. Flour was very dull. Spring corn generally was arm in value. Ou the Continent the grain trade was fairly active at late rates. The imports of grain, &e., into London last week con sisted of 35,523 qra. of wheat, 13,C48 barley, 99,562 oats, 1,500 beaus, 5,175 linseed, 10,005 rapeseed, 7,031 maize, 169 qrs. sundry seeds, 6,811 sacks and 3,22.1 barrels of flour There was a full average supply of new English wheat. on sale here to-day in excellent condition, but the show of old parcels was very limited, The trade was in a sluggish state at a decline iu the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from 1s to 2s per quarter. The quantity of foreign v heat ou offer was moderately extensive. Good and fine qualities were held at full prices, but inferior kinds were very dull and lower to sell. Floating cargoes of grain met a heavy inquiry, at barely lato rates. The quantity of Enslish barley on offer was trifling, of foreign on the increase. Late rates were supprted, wit I; a fair inquiry. Wo have to report a slow inquiry for nmlt— the supply of which was seasonably good— at barely stationary prices. Oats, though in good supply, were in request, partly on French account, at previous quotatioas. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE Wheat— Essex and Kent, red, new, per qr.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock in somewhat improved condition. For all kinds the de mand ruled heavy at drooping currencies. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts wore moderately extensive, and of full average weight and quality. All breeds met a dull inquiry at a de dine in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of fully 2d. per Blbs. A few very superior beasts were disposed of at ss. per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,600 short horns; from other parts of England 670 various breeds, from Scotland 8 Scots, and from Ireland 170 cows, Jcc. ; the latter in wretched con dition. The supply of English sheop was on the increase, and the condition of most breeds was good. Sales progressed heavily, at from 2d. to 4d. per Sibs less money. The best Downs and half-breds changed hands at ss. per Sibs. Lambs veers very dull at mutton prices. We have now ceased to quote them, as the lamb " season" is over. Calves were in short supply and moderato request, at last week's prices. The top figure was ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. In pigs very few sales took place. Nevertheless th o quotations were supported.

MARLBOROUG 11-STREET. STONE THROWING IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.—Thos Goddard, a boy, was charged before Flowers with stone throwing in Kensington-gardens, to the common danger of the passers-by. Park-constable Topp, No. 36, saw the prisoner on Saturday evening, in company with about a dozen other boys, throwing stones at the trees -for the purpose of knocking down acorns, and as there were a nutzber of chil d:•en about, and the practice was attonded with great danger, ho took him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner said that he (the park constable) could net do anything with him for throwing a few stones, and afterwards that he could not have more than 1-1 days, and at the most 3 years. Mr. Flowers told tho boy that stono throwing was at all times, and more especially iu such a placo as Kensing ton-gardens, forbidden. The defendant would be fined 2s. 6d. THAMES. A TROUBLESOME WOMAN.— POLICE REGULATIONS.— Catliorino Dugan, a bloatei, dissipated, clamorous woman was brought befora Mr. Benson charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting another female. _ . John Sheppard, a police-constable, No. 43 H, stated that the prisoner wa3 fighting with another woman, and was very drunk and noisy. The prisoner, who kept up a continual noise with her unruly tongue, said that she had been sent to prison fOr seven days, and when she was released her two children were in the workhouse. She then went into a, noisy history of some of her adventures, and said she had faith fully observed the temperance pledge for nine months, and if she was liberated she would take the pledge for twelve months, and keep it faithfully. Mr. Benson—How can I rely upon you ? Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was the most troublesome woman ho ever encountered. Last time she was at that court and locked up she put her infant through the wicket, and it would have fallen on tho pave ment outside, if he had not caught the child. If ho had been absont the child would have fallen on its head and been killed. Mr. Benson hardly knew what to do with the prisoner. She had a black eye, there wero contusions on her face, and ho was afraid she was punished worso than the woman who had charged her and did not appear. He should put the case back, and consider what he would do with her. The prisoner was then removed, and in a few minutes the constable returned and said tho inspector at the adjoin ing stationhouse objected to receive the prisoner and lock her up. Mr. Benson said ho wished to deliberate upon the case, and the woman could be locked up temporarily in one of the - cells attached to the court. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said the warder of the court only received prisoners after their cases had been finally determined by the magistrate. Sheppard said the police station adjoining the court be longed to the K division, and he belonged to the H divi sion. If the woman was locked up he should have to stay at the door of the cell till she was brought out again, but if she was locked up in the H division station in Leman street, Whitechapol, she would bo under the charge of the inspector on duty there. Mr. Benson ordered the woman to stand in the dock again, and sentenced her to one day's imprisonment. WESTMINSTER. LAMENTABLE EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—WiIIiam White, a man about 30 years of age, presenting a most wretched and dirty appearance, was charged with robbing Mr. William Sparrow, of 2, Ranelagh-terrace, Pimlico, chemist, under the following circumstances. Mr. Sparrow said that ho had occasion to go outof town on Monday fortnight, and left the prisoner, who had been recommended to him as a highly respectable man, in charge of his shop. lie left him £5 in gold and other money for change, but the prisoner disappeared before his return on Monday last. When he came back he found the prisoner had absconded, and he could hear nothing of him until yesterday when he was informed that he was sitting in fiyde-park. Besides the money which had been left the prisoner had removed the whole of the takings for different articles sold in the shop. A man, who described himself as a billiard-marker, out of employment, said that he chanced to be sitting on the same seat in the park with the prisoner, who told him that ho had got drunk, and got robbed of his employer's money, and that he had then deserted his shop, which he had left unprotected. He was now vary sorry, and did not care what became of him. Ho sent witness to prosecutor. Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said ho had left the money in the shop. Ho was remanded. THE ALTOi TRAGEDY. niederick Baker is known at Guildford as a man of cosiderable intelligence; but his h ibits were of j the most dissipated character. Ile was for some time secretary of the Guildford Institute Debating' Society, but his irregular habits induced the com mittee to request him to resign the office. His animal and bibulous propensities during the last three or four years were matter of common remark in Guildford, and he was looked upon as a " ne'er do weel," past all hope of reformation. Notwith standing his well known profligate habits, he was at times a great professor of religion, and partook very regularly of the sacraments at Trinity Church. There is no doubt that he was very carefully brought up and instructed in the truths of religion by pious parents, and until four years since he was a very pious, steady young man. At that time he was p a ying his addresses, and was engaged to be mar ried, to a highly respectable young person who was in the service of Mrs. Haydon as lady's maid, but his advances were suddenly checked. by certain communications which some persons thought it their duty to make to the young waman's parents. The girl's brother also interfered, and the match was broken off. Young Baker was exces sively indignant at this intervention, and talked loudly about actions for slander and the like, but of course nothing came of them. From this time, however, he was a changed man. He gave way to drunkenness and other vices, became utterly reck less, and never seemed to have the least regard either for character or appearance. He was sup posed to have been intimately connected with the Guildford " Guys" and to have shared iu their most dangerous proceedings, but on this head nothing positive is known outside the im mediate circle of the " Guy" fraternity. For some time after going to Alton he was a total abstainer from intoxicating drink, and would not enter a public-house under any circumstances whatever. At length, however, he relapsed into his old habits of recklessness and dissipation. About two months since Mr. Phillips, the hon. sec. of the 'W ork ing Men's Institute at Guilford, who was also an active promoter of the debating society, in conjunction with Baker, received a letter from Baker, dated Alton. In it he said that Mr. Phillips would be glad to hear that he (Baker) had entirely reformed. his course of life, that he abstained from drink, went to bed at eleven o'clock, and rose at seven. He added that his employers were very kind to him, and that he spent his spare time in boating and reading good authors. He regularly attended church, and experienced great comfort from the ministrations of an excellent and devoted clergyman. He felt much happier in his mind since he had altered his course, and he was assured that there was a bright future before him. He said that he wrote thus to Mr. Phillips because, as connected with the old debating society, he was satisfied that it would give him great pleasure to hear of this reformation ; and he concluded by trusting that the great God would give him grace to persevere in the right path. Had this been written under the influence of real conviction, it would have been a very touching episode in this young man's career; but when we learn that at this very time he was pursuing a course of secret vice and dissipation, we can only regard it as a transcendent specimen of duplicity. In writing to another friend about four weeks since Baker says—" My quiet life here at Alton has en abled me to reflect upon the errors of my past life. I have quite reformed. I drink little,. go to bed ear:y, and do not neglect my Sabbath duties. I often think of my foolish conduct at Guildford, but I have prayed to God for His grace, and I now feel that a better course is open to me. lam very happy here, and my employers are exceedingly kind to me. Remember me to all old friends, and tell them that Fred. Baker is not now a drunken sot, but, by God's grace, a steady, respectable man. This is a quiet old town, and does not offer the temptations of Guildford. I know that you will be glad to hear of your old friend, and that is why 1 write." It is said that on a former occasion, when some of the young man's misdeeds became known to his father, the poor old man became almost dis tracted ; and we are informed that the communica tion of this dreadful intelligence has been succeeded by an utter prostration of the nervous and mental system. His wife has been dead some years, and poor Baker is tended in his solitude and bereave ment by an affectionate and pious daughter, on whose behalf the sympathies of the neighbours are earnestly enlisted.— West Surrey l o nes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAY, Members assembled in strong force, and some animated speculation in future events took place. The main feature of the doings was the increased favouritism of Hermit for the Leger, who in " one hand" was supported at 5 to 4 to win a "monkey." The friends of Achievement would have accorded the filly support at anything over 7 to 4, which however went begging. Neither of the outsiders were iu request.

SPORTING NOTES. The contest for one of the most interesting events of the year—the Doncaster St. Leger—is rapidly approaching, and the divergence of opinion expressed by the racing prophets respecting the two favourites is " wide as the poles asunder." Should nothing occur to interfere with the preparation of Hermit and Achievement, no event of late years at any rate since the great match between Voltigeur and the renowned Dutchman at York will equal the excitement which will be produced amongst their rival supporters, when the day, big with their fate, arrives. Mr. Chaplin's horse still heads the list of quota tions, but I doubt even Captain Machell's purse or in fluence being sufficiently great to keep this celebrated son of Newminster at the "head of the poll," although the largo bet of £6,000 to £5,000 which he laid on Hermit against the filly to a Nottingham bootmaker at Darby, on Wednesday last, bespeaks an immense amount of confidence. Still no private judgment, however trustworthy, will be of any avail to counterbalance public opinion, and under the impression that the general idea is favourable to the superior racing capabi lities of the " modern Crucifix," I fully expect to see her start first favourite, and finish in front of all her op ponents. In the Woodcote Stakes, which was the only time they ever met, Colonel Pearson's wonderful filly beat Hermit in a canter, but exception is taken to that per formance on the ground of the latter getting a bad start. Admitting that such was the case, I give this celebrated descendant of Stockwell the preference, because wo have a line to corroborate that form through other horses. Whenever Achievement met Vauban and Marksman they were defeated in a common canter, and considering the penalties she had to carry in several of her races last year, her running, to my thinking, is decidedly superior to Her mit's. The winner of the Derby did not, I think, give either of the two placed horses in that race a 71b boating, whereas the mare meets them on 9lb bettor terms for the Doncaster pi-Iz.) than whea sho beat them with consum m tte ease last year, and also carries 21b less than when She ran away from Hermit last year in the race above alluded to. OR TtleSclity FALSE ALUM or LADY MARGARET will most likely bo the winner of the 31-trgate Handicap, and SORREL should have no difficulty in securing the Ladies' late for her Owner. The programme for Warwick September Meeting will provide two capital days' sport, sixteen races being set down for decision during the two days. Of the sixteen no minations for the Handicap of a sovs I seo nothing to boat KING'S CROSS, who ran Success to a neck for her Majesty's Plate at Lichfield on Friday. In the Avon Stakes BROWN TOMMY claims 101 b. allowance, and should have no diffi culty in beating the lot engaged therein. Should TRA TIATA be amongst the "contents" for the Woodcote Nur sery Handicap, I shall certainly bo one of her followers. The Shorts Handicap looks a good thing for MlDwzrE or DIAMOND, as both of them appear to me to have 101 b less than their performances entitle them to. Of the twenty four acceptances for the Leamington Stakes we may expect to see some nine or ten competitors at the post, and these will probably be John Davis, Beeswing, Rama, Regalia, Mail Train, Pintail, Monitress, The Lizard, and Safety. Of this division the mast eligible look to be Beeswing or Monitress, Regalia, and Pintail. Mr. Heath cote's two are especially dangerous, and if Beeswing should be selected to represent the Squire's interests on this occasion, I have very little doubt of her Success, as I believe the mare is a better class than the public are yet aware of. At the same time with her light weight Mr. Graham's representative is bound to take an extraordinary amount of beating. With 21b more on her back she won the Windsor Handicap with ridi culous ease, and I have no hesitation in saying, if they come well to the post, that the finish will be between REGALIA AND BEESWING, but if they should be destined to be defeated, Mr. Payne's representative (probably PINTAIL) will be their successful opponent. There is nothing but VEDA or THE 'Emu, for the Castle Park Stakes. The Grand Stand Plate, run on Wednesday, has a lot of speedy horses engaged, of which I think MOONBEAM and SILENUS are as well in as anything. Now that BLACK PRINCE is in good form he cannot very well be beat for the Welter Cup. Of the 39 subscribers for the County Handleop my choice is in favour of MIRELLA or GOOJERAT. Of those horses entered for the Warwick Cup, eight or .ton of them aro really Good animals, but if GOMERA is selected to do battle for the Danebury stable I shall stand her, next to whom I fancy Booming and Moulsey. For the Nursery Handicap PRINCE REGENT and HERENNIANUS take my fancy most. For the Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, I shall plump for TUMBLER ; and GRETNA'S winning jour ney seems likely to be for the Members' Plato. At Abingdon, which meeting commences on Thursday, the FAUN will win the Maiden Two-year-old Stakes, VOLUNTEER should be successful in the Trial Stakes, and I think MusA. just good enough to win the Craven Ht.indi cap. The Berkshire Stakes is reduced to a Match, and it looks any odds on NARINO. If Mr. Saxon decides upon starting VORTIGERN for the Nursery Plate she will not be far off the winner; indeed is very likely to repeat her victory at York. The Culham Stakes, Mr LOVE will about win. For the Abingdon Stakes ORION must repre sent me, as I think he is sure to beat Patti, or anything else that may bo brought out to oppose him. The different events to be decided at Leicester, which also take place on Thursday and Friday, will bo mate rially influenced by the running at Warwick, but I have very little doubt either SUCCESS or NUTRITION will attract the judge's notice for the Leicestershire Stakes, and PERO on Friday for the Castle Doniugton Nursery Plate.

The twentieth half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the offices, 2, Great Winchester-street-buildings, E.C. ; Mr. It. B. Harvey, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that, in accordance with the report of the directors to the shareholders in Feb ruary last, a bill in Chancery was filed against the London ; Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and various parties interested in the different sec tions of that undertaking, for the purpose of having it declared that the heads of agreement for the working of the line v the London, Chatham, and Dover Company were binding upon all parties. The suit thus instituted came on for hearing before Vice-Chancellor Stuart, on the 26th day of June last, and, very much to the disappointment of the directors, his honour made a decree that the Dover Company were not bound to continue the working of theline under the heads of agreement, and directed that they should cease working on July 31 last, unless terms for their continuing the working were arranged with this company. The decision being entirely contrary to the view which the same learned judge had taken of the subject upon the former hearing before him, the directors gave immediate notice of their intention to appeal against it ; but that appeal cannot come on for hearing until, at the earliest, the month of November next. It is right to state that iu addition to the grounds of objection to the agreement, which were referred to in the former report, it was now attempted to show that the heads of agreement as submitted to the shareholders of this company were not identical with those which had been submitted to the shareholders of the Dover Cowany, and that consequently the terms of the Act of Parliament, which required the assent of the shareholders of both companies, had not been com plied with. The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks terminated the proceedings. The special train in which the Emperor Napoleon with his suite from Paris to Salzburg is described as exceeding in comfort and elegance anything of the kind that has hitherto been known. The train con sisted of nine carriages, communicating with each other by tastefully decorated bridges. In the middle was a handsome sitting-room, furnished with chairs, ottomans, sofas, mirrors, pictures, clocks, and chan deliers. On one aide of this room was the dining room, and on the other the Emperor's study. In the middle of the dining-room there was a table, capable of being extended or contracted at pleasure, with easy chairs placed parallel to the sides of the carriage. The Emperor's study contained an ele gant writing-table, a clock in the style of the re naissance, a thermometer, a barometer, and a tele graphic apparatus, by means of which telegraphic communication was established with the apartments of the various court officials travelling with his Majesty. Next to the study was the bedroom of the Emperor ani Empress, with two beds placed transversely against the sides of the carriage. Two dressing-rooms were attached to the bedroom. The remaining carriages consisted of a kitchen, a wine cellar, and the apartments of the Emperor's suite. There was also a conservatory filled with the choicest flowers. The contract for building the Milford and Woon socket Railroad has been awarded to a Mr. Greene of Fisherville, New Hampshire, for about $BO,OOO, exclusive of land damages and depot buildings, and work on it will be at once begun. The stockholders of the Vermont Valley Rail road at the annual meeting at Bellows Falls, on Wednes.lay, August 14, elected Hugh H. Henry, Governor Morris, Alexander Hamilton, G. R. I. Bowdoin, Jo.d Page, Charles Chaplin, and Madison Sloat directors, and they subsequently elected H. 11. Henry president, the treasurer and clerk holding over for another year. As the Shore Line Railroad train from Boston was approaching Providence on Tuesday at noon, 13th iust., an unknown man, of respectable ap pearance, laid his neck on the rail just in front of the advancing locomotive and was instantly be headed. The body was shockingly mutilated, and has not been recognised. Hiram Cook has been appointed Isaac Pressey's successor as roadmaster of the Norwich and Wor cester Railroad. THE EXPEDITION TO ABYSSINIA.--It is believed in official circles to be quite impossible to have the arrangements connected with the Abyssinian expedition completed in time to allow of active operations being un dertaken in November, For the information of the many who are anxious for employment in connection with the Abyssinian expedition, it may be well . to state that all these appointments rest with the Bombay Uovernmeat, acting under the advice of Robert 4 Napier. Applications to the home authorities is useless.—Sunclay Gazette. On Satur day three very fine steamers, belonging to the West India and Pacific Steamship Company, were selected by the Admiralty.
