Marmato mines for the month of September, 1867, cost $12,796 ; returns, $14,786. The cause of the lower amount of returns for this month is the lower standard of the mineral heated and a short supply of water. The cost is also increased by an extraordinary item of $BOO.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Mellor, Shee, and Lush.) THE CASE OF FUAD PACHA. Mr. Manesty, Q.C., again brought the case o Fuad Pacha before the Court, and contended that the Pacha was a privileged person, and therefor( was free from arrest. The Court, however, said that before they ordered the suspension of proceedings against Fuad they must be satisfied from the Turkish Embassy that he was attached officially to the Sultan's suite on the occasion of his visit to England in the first instance. The Embassy could be communicated with through the Foreign Office, and until that in formation was before the Court the matter must stand over. coma OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittingi in Banco before the Lor 1 Chief Baron and Barons Martin and Bramwell.) EMERY V. PARRY. This was an action tried before Mr. Baron Mar tin at the first sittings during the present term. It will be recollected that the plaintff is Mr. Emery, the actor, and Mr. Sefton Parry, the proprietor of the Holborn Theatre. The point at issue was, what was the nature of an agreement entered into between them, which provided that Mr. Emery should take a certain part in a drama entitled " An tipodes," which was brought out at the Holborn Theatre, and that his remuneration should be £lO a week during the run of the piece. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that, although there was a written agreement to this effect, there was a parol contract which provided that the piece should run for at least eight weeks. Mr. Baron Martin considered that no such other contract could do away with the effect of the written document itself, and therefore directed the jury to find a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Parry now-moved for a rule for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and con tended that there was a separate and special con tract that the piece should run for eight weeks, and that the plaintiff was entitled to give parol evidence of the fact ; and that it, in fact, was a supplemental contract. It would be absurd, he argued, to take " the run of the piece" as signifying only the length of time that the drama was played, for it might only run a week. Who was to decide, then, what was the run of the piece ? He contended that this was a separate contract, and that parole evidence could be given on it. On these grounds he asked for a new trial. The Lord Chief Baron said that he had but one or two observations to make, and they were, that it was in:possible for the plaintiff to make this con versation part of the contract, and also that it could not be incorporated into a written contract. The parties themselves had imported no understanding of the nature alluded to into the written document, and therefore the court had no occasion to do so. The rule must be refused.- COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) BARNES V. BARNES AND GRIMWADE. This was a suit instituted to obtain a dissolution of marriage on account of the wife's adultery. The Queen's Proctor, intervening on the ground of collusion, Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, and the Attorney-General and Mr. Hannen for the respondent. The co-respondent did not appear. It appeared that the parties in this action were persons in humble life, the petitioner being in the position of a servant in the employ of a gentleman in Ipswich, and the co-respondent was a shoe maker. The petitioner had been living sepa rated from his wife for some years, and she had been lodging in Ipswich alone, but it was alleged that latterly she had been cohabiting with the co-respondent. From the evidence of one witness it seems that Mrs. Barnes lodged with her iu 1864, and that as they went about together they frequently met Barnes, and on several occasions he had given the respondent money ; and on one par ticular occasion had treated her to some gin. The respondent left her in 1834 to go to London, and then returned to live with her again. Sbe afterwards left her, and the witness believed that she was living with a shoemaker named Grimwade. She was not a particular friend of Grimwade's. She did not remember Mrs. Barnes talking about a divorce. She heard Barnes say that it would cost £4O to get a divorce, that he had paid up £2O of that sum, she should 80011 save the rest. This was in a public-house in the Butter-market, in Ipswich. It was in Nov., but she could not say the year. She had heard him say that more than once. Another witness said that more than once. Another witness said that for five or Six years, at the fair time he had seen Mr. and Mrs. Barnes and Grimwade there together. Barnes was there, and, although his his wife and Grimwade were always partners, he never objected. He used to leave them together. This would be about one o'clock in the morning. Respondent and Grimwade would remain till four dancing. When the petitioner was told of it he would say, " Oh Charley's a decent sort of chap." After some further evidence the Court dismissed the petition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, --- MARLB OROUGH-STREET. UNGRATEFUL CONDUCT.—Mr. John Walter Boyer, landlord of the Goldsmiths' Arms, East Acton, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner. Sergeant Brady, 22 C , said that on the previous afternoon he was in Oxford-street when he saw the defendant fall off a cart, and as he was drunk he took him into custody. On the way to the station the defendant behaved in such a manner that he was obliged to ask the assistance of another con stable, who was in plain clothes ; and on the way to the station the defendant 'accused him of having put his hand into his pocket and taken out £5O, and he afterwards accused the other officer of doing a similar thing. On getting the defendant to the station £27 was found upon him. The defendant said heAidinot . remember accusing the police of robbing him. Mt. Knox said that was because the defendan was drunk. • The defendant said he was at the Gloucester coffee-house with a friend, and had a glass of stout, and on getting on to his cart he slipped off, and the police took him, but he was not disorderly. Mr. Knox said he considered the defendant's conduct very bad, as but for the police he might have broken his neck and been robbed. Instead of thanking the sergeant for what he had done, he had accused him of robbing him of £5O, and also a con stable who had assisted the sergeant. The police had saved the defendant's life and money, and the return he made for it was to abuse them. The de fendant would have to pay a fine of 20s. where the lead was stolen from:was their property, as also the lead. Both the prisoners said it was their first offence and wished the magistrate to settle it at once, bat they were committed for trial. MARKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with English wheat, coastwise and by railway. The demand for both red aLd white parcels was far from active; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. The imports of foreign whist were seasonably good. For most kinds the inquiry was restricted, at late cur- reticles. Floating cargoes of wheat, barley, and rye were in active. Maize, afloat, were held firmly at extreme rates. Fine malting barley was scarce. Inferior kinds were a dull sale, and the turn cheaper. Malt, the supply of whit was good, moved off slowly, at the late decline in value. Oats gave way 6d. per quarter owing to large arrivals. No quotable change took place in the value of either beans, peas, or flour. seeds and cakes were a slow sale, but not lower in price.

Webb, youths, were charged with stealing lead from a house, the property of the Metropolitan Railway Company. J. Buxton, 295 B, said at 11.30 p.m., Nov. 18, he was in York.-street, and heard an alarm of thieves from an empty house in Blue Anchor-yard, and he and another constable went to the house, No. 4, and found Brown there with the lead now produced. Webb had been living there with his father and mother. lie found a pair of boots on the trap door leading to the roof. He told Brown the charge against him, when he said Webb had induced him to do it. After that he went and apprehended Webb at his new lodgings, the Blue Anchor publichouse. Witness told him he should take him into custody for being concerned with Brown in stealing lead from the roof of a house. When at the station he said the boots found on the house were his ; he put them on and was now wearing them. The lead had been fresh cut and weighed 351 b. Alfred Margery, a surveyor's pupil, proved that he was employed in the Metropolitan District Railway Company's surveyor's office the house BOROUGII lIOP. We have no change to notice in the market.

At the beginning of the week we witnessed two sights in the streets of the metropolis which reflected disgrace equally upon our police regulations and the administration of public and private charity. Early on Sunday morning, at the time when the stream of church-goers was beginning to set steadily along the chief thoroughfares, a crowd drew together to watch the actions of a man in one of the west-central squares. This unfortunate man was so thinly and imperfectly clad that the barest rule of decency was hardly met, and but the very slightest protection from the bitter cold was afforded. His feet, arms, neck, and great portion of the shoulders were bare, and exposed to the piercing wind, and they had a horrible, dusty-red, mottled aspect. With his arms closely folded as if to protect himself from the in clement weather, and an aspect of suffering, he was moving about in a restless, indeterminate fashion, paying no heed to the lookers on, and not soliciting any charity. His lips were moving rapidly, as if he were muttering to himself, and his face had 'an unmistakeable appearance of weak in tellect. Presently, and before any scheme of dealing with the man could be de eised, he started off at a very rapid pace, and was soon lost to the sight. On Monday, again, in a back street of Bloomsbury, we saw a man pacing along with a regulated step. He was bare-headed, and with bare feet, and the latter, as well as the face were purple with cold. Under his aria he carried the semblance of a bagpipe, to the drone of which were attached bunches of jingling met_il. At every fourth pace he uttered a loud kind of imitation of tho instrummt, shaking the seeming drone and its metallic appendages at the same time. He looked neither to the right nor the left, but passed along the centre of the street, while he remained in sight, as if heedless of all else except his own imaginations. He was wretchedly clad, and it was a sad spectacle to witness the effect of the nipping but seemingly unfelt cold upon his exposed head, feet, and hands. If the two men we thus casually saw were not lunatics, they were cer tainly accomplished vagrants, who plied their trade with heroic indifference to physical suffering ; for, under ordinary circumstances, and in a normal state of body, the condition of the exposed skin, as affected by the cold, must have caused acute suffer ing. But whether lunatic or vagrant, it is surely a grave public scandal that such spectacles should be witnessed in the teeming thoroughfares of the me tropolis. If these men were vagrants, surely it was the duty of the police to remove them from the streets, and prevent the public being imposed upon as well as horrified. If they were lunatics, surely it was equally the duty of the police to see that they were placed under control, and properly supplied with food and clothing. The law has amply pro vided for both contingencies, and the Commissioners in Lunacy would do a welcome serrice to the coun try if they would make inquiry as to the state of vagrant lunatics, and the mode in which the provi sions of the law with regard to them, or applicable to them, are carried out. We commend the subject I to their consideration. —Lancet. The Architect of the Rouse of Parliament- Pugin or Barry ? The KentlCoast Times of yesterday, in comment ing upon Mr. Welby Pugin's recently-published pamphlet, takes occasion to remark as follows " Mr. Pugin declines to submit the dispute to any tribunal but that of the public at large ; and unless the Barrys have a much stronger reply than any thing they have yet advanced, that verdict will will be what we have above indicated. " A strange phase has, however, just arisen, for the Messrs. Cooper, solicitors to the executors of the late Sir C. Barry, have written to Messrs. Longman and Co., prohibiting the publication of the pamphlet, until they have compared the same with the original documents. " We can understand the Messrs. Barry wishing to be in possession of all the facts of the case, but why they should desire to restrain the publication, if the facts aro incorrectly given, is beyond our comprehension, for should such prove to be the case, their success in damning Mr. Pugiu's claim wouLl be simply proportioned to tho number of copies issued.

REPLY TO THE ADDRESS. The Earl of BRADFORD road her Majesty's reply to the loyal Address which had been presented to her by their lordships' house, which was as follows : " I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address, and I am confident that I shall receive your cordial assistance nud support in all measures to maintain the dignity of my Crown and the happiness and welfare of my people." The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—L.IFr EVENING. `1 • he SITAXER took the chair at four o'clock. MILITARY EDUCATION. Lord E. CECIL gave notice to move for a Royal cons 7nission to inquire into the state of znilitary education iu the country, and also to inquire into the system carried on at Woulwi,•h and Sandhurst. CONS UL CAMERON. Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for War ash ther Consul Cameron had a commisi:oa in her Mz jesty's army at present, and whether he formerly held a commission ; and if so, what were the alleged reasons for his retirement ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said COnsul Cameron did not at the present time hold a commission in the army. He had on a former occasion held a commission as ensign from 1846 to 1851, and he then sold out in consequence of his being unable to obtain promotion under the purchase system. He afterwards settled at Natal and served during the Caffre war, for which services he received the Cape war medal. Ho afterwards served under Sir F. Williams at Kars, holding the local rank of captain, which rank of course ceased on the close of the war. Ho had received testimonials from General Williams with respect to the services of Consul Cameron, all of which spoke in the highest terms of his bravery and ability. (Hear, hear). SALE OF CATTLE AT FAIRS. In reply to Mr. HODGKINON, Lord R. MONTAGU said there would be no objection to grant sale licenses to fairs under certain regulations. Mr. HODGKINSON asked whether cattle could be sent to those fairs with passes. Lord R. MONTAGU replied in the affirmative. • THE RIVER THAMES. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether it was true that the navigation of the river Thames was in danger of being obstructed by the formation of mud banks near the outfall of the . main drainage sewers at Crossness and Barking Reach ? Mr. CAVE said in the summer an obstruction occurred near Barking Reach, and a survey was ordered by the Board of Conservancy, which reported that there were mud banks six feet in height off the main drainage outfall at Barking Reach. A portion of the deposit had been sent to Dr. Letheby, whose opinion was, that the mud was decidedly the deposit of sewage in an advanced state of decomposition. The conservancy had given directions for the removal of the mud banks, and during the operations there need be no fear of the navigation of the river being interfered with. There was, however, some difference of opinion between the Board of Works as to the liability of the latter to perform the work. There would be no objection to lay the papers connected with the subject on the table if required. ABYSSINIA. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Secretary of State for India whetherany arrangements were being made for con necting by telegraph the pert of disembarkation of the expeditionary force on the coast of Abyssinia with the ports of Suez and Aden. Sir S. NORTLICOTE said no arrangements of the kind had been made. A proposal had been made to him by the Telegraph Maintenance Company which ho could not entertain, and he had on that made a counter proposition to the company, but he did not think there was much hope that the proposal would be accepted. STAFF APPOINTMENTS. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Secretary of State for War when the returns relative to staff appointments, ordered in June last, would be laid upon the table. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he hoped to be able to lay the returns on the table in a few days. THE CASE OF MAGUIRE. Mr. WATKIN, in reference to the case of Maguire, who had received an unconditional pardon with respect to the conviction that had been obtained against him at Man chester, said tho man had served 13 years in Her Ma jesty's service, and he hoped ho would not be deprived of the benefits of that service, because if so he would suffer great injustice. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he would state what 19,18 to be done in the course of a few days. M:.. CORRY said perhaps his hon. friend would allow him to make the announcement that Maguire had boon restored to his position in her Majesty's service. (Hear, hear.) THE METROPOLIS REGULATION BILL. Mr. HARDY said it had been found that a certain clans) in the bill, which received the sanction of Parlia ment just before the close of last session, if put into full op-ration, would work with great ' injustice to a large number of industrious people. He therefore had to introduce a bill to remedy that state of things. (Hear, hoar.) The measure ho now ha•l the honour to lay on the table was a very short one, with but ono clause, which was to the effect that the section in the Metro polis Traffic Act should not apply to costermongers, street hawkers, and street traders so long as they complied with the regulations laid down by the Commissioners of Police. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AYR TON said the present bill was the result of hasty legislation, but whilst so much consideration was paid to the costermongers, some consideration should be given to the shopkeeper, who paid rates, while the costerrnonger did not. There were many other matters in the bill which required reconsideration, and he hoped the house would not agree to pass the bill now introduced until some other matters which required consideration wore disposed of. Sir G. BOWYER said that when they were considering the matter something ought to be done to limit the powers of the Commissioners of Police, and if no one else felt dis posed to take the matter up ho would, and he should be prepared to propose a remedy, and also to make the Com missioners of Police responsible for what they did. Alderman LAWRENCE said there were other persons besides the costermorgerswho had hardships to complain of. There were the cab drivers and cabproprietors. They were by the bill to provide lamps to their cabs, which would entail very groat expense on them, without any material benefit to the public. Ho hoped their grievance would not be overlooked. Mr. HARDY said the grievances of all parties could not be redressed at once, and if it was proposed so to do it would be impossible to pass the bill during the present short session. With respect to the grievances of the cab proprietors, he did not think their grievances had been so fully proved. They, in fact, when they waited upon him, wished for a consolidation of the law. The instance of the lamps he did not think a great hardship, because nearly every Hansom cab, previous to the passing of the bill, carried one, but which they put out immediately the bill passed, because, ho supposed, they objected to any compulsory enactment. The lamp of the Hansom cab was very ad vantageous, because it enabled them to be hailed some distance away; and with respect to the four-wheeled cabs he thought a compromise might be made by their placing one lamp on the splash board, which might very easily be arranged. The subject then dropped, and leave was given to in troduce the bill. THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS. Mr. MAGUIRE moved the adjournment of the house, in- order to make an appeal to her Majesty's Govern _ _ _ meta to glelay the execution of the four persons now "under sentence of death at Manchester. lie said there Wore circumstances connected with the trial which loudly called for delay; the evidence had in one case broken down, sad if the men were executed before all the judges had fully reconsidered the whole of the evidence, the most lamentable consequences would result. He thought tho whole of the judges should be called upon to consi ler the point of law that had been raised at the trial. He called upon the Government to do that, and not perpetrate that which might be called legal murder. Mr. F.A.WCETT thought some difference ought to bo mado between tho an Allen, who actually fired tho shot, and the other throe mon who had not committed so groat a crime. Sir G. 130WYER thought tho execution of the men ought to be suspended until the point of law had boon de cided by all the judges. Sergeant GAZELEE, and other members, urged for postponement. Mr. HARDY said he was placed in a most painful position, becaus3 to do as the hon. gentleman opposite required, ho called upon him to do an illegal act. The point referred to had ho believed boon fully considered, and Mr. Justice Blackburn bad ho believed consulted the whole of his brother judges on the point raised, and fro In not ono had ho received an opinion adverse to the udgmont ho had formed. Mr. M. CHAMBERS thought the point should be refer red to the whole of the Judges for consideration. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the expression of such an opinion by so eminent a legal authority as his hon. and learned friend, deserved the deepest consideration. The ATTORNEY-GEN ERA.L said Mr. Justice Black burn had consulted the whole of the judges before ho decided the point raised was untenable. The house then adjourned. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

LI The objection against Jacob, who came in first for this race on Tuesday, was gone into yesterday, and the stewards confirmed the judge's decision. Immediately afterwards air. Dixon, the owner of the second, lodged another objection, and this this time that the horse's pedigree was not given, and the case, therefore, is again in abeyance, the owner of Jacob having gone home. It is probable the matter will be gone into to-day.

Emmanuel Liais, dated Rio Janeiro, Sept. 6, in which he describes his observation of the eclipse of the sun of Aug. 29th, which was total at Montevideo, but partial at Rio. The weather was splendid, and he obtained both contacts ; he then took advantage of these data to determine anew the longitude of Rio from the meridian of Paris, and found it to be 3h. lm. 4345. M. Liaises former measurements had given 3h. lm. 32.45., which he still considers to be nearer the truth than his last one.—When a bullet falls into a vessel of water, an air-bubble quickly appears at the point of ingress. M. Laroque examines, in a paper addressed to the Ac.►demy, how the air came there. A part of it of course rushes into the momentary cavity caused in the water by the passage of tha bullet, and gets imprisoned there by the water closing over it ; but M. Laroque finds from experiment that a certain quantity of air is also pushed in by the bullet in the swiftness of its progress. M. Velter, taking up a remark lately made by M. Peligot, to the effect that com mon salt was not so useful to architecture as was generally supposed, replies that its favourable effects may be explained from the fact that, in a calcareous soil, rich in organic matter, salt or chloride of sodium is transformed into carbonate of soda ; the chloride also sinks into the soil in the shape of chloride of lime, and this, retained by the earth, acts upon the organic matter it contains, and forms nitrate of soda. A Canadian clergyman was not long since called upon by an Irish girl, who inquired how much he asked for " marrying anybody." Bo replied, "A dollar and a half," and Biddy departed. A few evenings later, on being summoned to the door, ho was accosted by tho same person, with tho remark that she had come to be married. " Very well," said tho minister; but perceiving, with astonishment, that she was alone, ho continued, " Where is the man ?" An expression of disappointment and cha grin, too ludicrous to be described, passed over Biddy's features as she ejaculated, "And don't you find the man for a dollar and a half ?" A young member of the bar thought he would adopt a motto for himself, and after much reflection wrote in large letters and posted up against the wall the follow jog; —" &cum Cuigue," which may be translated, " Let every ono have his own." A country client coming in, ex pressed himself much gratified with the maxim ; but added, " You don't spell it right." " indeed ! then how ought it to be apolt r" 5,10 Tioitorrepliod, "guo'ora quick."
