MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England at their wevkly meeting to-day made no alteration in their minimum rate of discount, it still remains at 2 per cent. In the general market there continues to be a limited inquiry, and no change whatever can be reported. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised a purchase of £9,000 iu bar gold, and a withdrawal of £32,000, supposed to be for Belgium. The amount taken in since the last return is £116,000, while £92,000 has been withdrawn. The report of the directors of the Bahia and San Francisco Railway Company (Limited) was pre sented to the shareholders at the ordinary general meeting held this day. It states that, notwith standing a diminution of the traffic receipts during the half year comprised in these accounts of £l,Bll 19s. 4d., as compared with the correspond ing half year in 1866 (in consequence of the failure of the sugar and tobacco crops, alluded to in their last report), and of £253 14s. 11d. as compared with the half year ending last December, the direc tors are in a position to recommend the same rate of dividend as before, namely, three per cent. for the half year ending 30th June last, which will leave a balance of £2,546 2s. 7d. to be carried forward. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great Western ...

On the Great Western there is an increase of £1,039 ; on the North- Western, of £5,802 ; on the South-Western, of £639; en the Brighton, of £1,153 ; on the Midland, of £6,936 ; on the South-Eastern, of £3,136 ; on the Great Northern, of £3,592 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £3,009 ; on the Bristol and Exeter, of £BB4 ; on the North-East ern, of £2,496 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £ll5 ; on t h e G rea t E as t ern, o f £656 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £2 1 498 ; and on the North British of £267. The traffic receipts of the East Indian Railway for the week ending 18th August, 1867, amounted to 597 against £34,153 12s. 6d. of the corres- P °ll ding week in the previous year, showing a de crease of £6 435 12s. 6d. The London market for United States Bonds has been entirely influenced by continental news, and during the week, in sympathy with the panic on the Paris Bourse, 5-20 Bonds were sold as low as 714, and the 1865 issue at 69*, but from this point there has been a rally, and the market, to-day, is steady at quotations. The chief feature in shares has been a rise in Eries of $2, while Illinois on good buying close nearly $1 higher. The distribution of the dividend of 2s. in the Pound, under the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), commenced yesterday, and the amount paid out was upwards of £lOO,OOO. The whole of the £420,000 will have been distributed by Saturday. The Eighth Ordinary General Meeting of the Standard Bank of British South Africa (Limited) will be held at the offices of the Company, 10, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, on Friday, 25th iust., to receive the directors' report and to declare a dividend. It is stated that the Brazilian Government have arranged with the San Paulo Railway Company the question as to the funds to be provided to cover the guaranteed interest at the rate of 7 per cent., and that the requisite amount has already been paid. At the same time the development of the traffic continues highly favourable, and an effort will be made among the landed proprietors of the locality to extend the line as soon as possible, at their own cost, 26 miles to the coffee-growing district of Campinas. The San Paulo Railway was opened on the 16th of February, and the cash divi dend to be declared will therefore, it is presumed, extend from that date to the 30th June. Two O'CLOCK.

The condition of the sheep was by no means first rate. The few calves on offer sold steadily at full prices, viz., from 4s 21 to 5s 21 per 81b.

MANSION-HOUSE. A CONFIDING COCOA NUT DEALER.—William Smith, a Jewish-looking costermonger, was charged, before the Lord Mayor, with stealing some bags of cocoa nuts, the property of William Slip, of Brent ford, in Essex, a fruiterer. The prosecutor said that on the 26th of June last he had given the prisoner the care of a horse and cart in Botol ph-lane, Lower Thames-street. Shortly after wards he took the horse and cart from him, and on his representing that he wanted some money pro secutor gave him eight shillings, and gave irim eight cocoa nut sacks to take to Duke-street, Aldgate, which he valued at about 3s. Ile saw no more of the prisoner, nor did he deliver up the, sacks or return to him with the money. He had instructed the police to look after him, and he was taken yesterday. Mr. Brently proved that the prisoner had not delivered to him the sacks, neither had he seen lain at all. Mr. Pearce, of Botolph-lane, had recommended the prisoner to him and given him a good character. The police-constable who took him in charge said that he had given a false ad dress, stating that he lived at 110, Old Kent-road. On inquiries being made it was proved false. The prisoner said that he could not find the pro secutor to give him the money, but that he would repay him by instalments. The Lord Mayor said that he evidently never in tended to deliver, and never went near the place. He should sentence him to 21 days' hard labour. 7HE CHEAP DINING MOVEMENT_ The adjourned meeting in connection with this movement was held last evening at the Lor idon Tavern, Mr. Alderman Cotton again presiding.. The chairman stated that the title originally proposed approached so nearly to another project previously registered that the registrar of limited liabili.ty com panies had declined to sanction it. On reco asidera tion, it had been thought best to adopt the name of the London Clerks' Club (Limited). The r.ecessity of spirit licences and of keeping the premi 3es open for non-shareholders would thereby be avoided. It was believed that a lunch of cold Inc at, bi cad, and half a pint of ale or porter could be sup ,)lied for 6 1., meat, potatoes or vegetables, and :.de or stout for 9d., and moat, potatoes and vegetrshles, ale or stout, bread, cheese, and condiments :for ls. Fish and other things would be provided when in season at equally moderate rates. lla took it that besides cheapness, comfort and respectabil, :or were important considerations, and he assumed that read ing, smoking, and billiard rooms would be provided. Employers co-operated for their own comfort and convenience, so also did working men, and he did not see why city clerks should not pursue the same course. The report of the com mittee was then read, which stated that consider able promises of support had been received, and that it was intended to secure premises in the most central quarters of the city. The report was adopted, and five directors were appointed, the question of their remuneration being reserved for a future meeting. Mr. Lloyd Jones, in the course of some remarks on the success of the co-operative principle, said 60,000 or 70,000 heads of families iu this country were now supplying themselves with provisions on that plan, some with clothing as well, and that in one town (Rochdale) of 60;000 inhabi tants, a society buying provisions and other neces saries, and selling them to its members at ordinary prices, made a net profit last year of £31,000. It was resolved that the capital of the club be fixed at £25,000 in shares of £1 each, and that employers be invited to render assistance by subscribing for a limited number of shares without membership.

WHOLESALE PLUNDERING.—Sidney Chandler, a young man in the employ of Mr. John Sharp, butcher, of Air-street, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing about 1201bs. of beef and mutton, of the value of £4, from his em ployer ; and Benjamin Wren, a butcher, residing at No. 19, Rutland-street, Pimlico, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Police-constable Shrives, 82 C, proved seeing the prisoner Chandler admit Wren to his master's shop this morning about half-past six, and Wren left with a bag containing about 1201bs. of beef and mutton. He followed Wren and took him into cus tody, and afterwards went and took Chandler. Wren said that he received the meat from a stout elderly man who had brought it from the market for him, and that he took the bag from the railings of a house in Air-street. Mr. Knox said the charge was one of joint steal ing, and committed the prisoners for trial. BREA.CII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.--Frederick Rayner was summoned by Rhoda Eames to show cause why he should not contribute towards the sup port of his illegitimate female child. Mr. Froggatt, of Argyle-street, watched the case for the defendant, who did not appear, it being stated that he was a butler in a gentleman's family in Ire land, and that the summons had been sent to him by post. Rhoda Eames, the complainant, said she was in service in Piccadilly, and had known the defendant 6 years, and was 12 months ago a fellow-servant with him at the Army and Navy Club. The defendant was the father of the female child produced, which was born on the 26th Dec., 1866. In cross-examination, the complainant admitted that she had another child, but said the defendant was also the father of that child. He had frequently promised to marry her. Elizabeth Torrance, a married sister of the com plainant, said the child was born on the 24th of December, 1866. The complainant and the de fendant had frequently told her that they were married, but when she taxed them with it they denied it. In answer to Mr. Froggatt the witness said the defendant admitted to her on the 24th December that he was the father of the other child, and on the 25th that he was the father of the child produced. He took it out of bed and kissed it the same as any other father would do. (Laughter.) He also pro mised to marry the complaivant. In answer to the magistrate, the witness said it was a well-established custom for a father to take his own child out of bed and kiss it vigorously. (Laughter.) Mr. Froggatt, after the evidence, said he would submit to an order of 2s. 6d. a week, and accept service of the order. WESTMINS rE R. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION BY A CONVICT'S WIFE.—A very respectable-looking woman, possess - ing considerable personal attractions, made a ♦ery extraordinary application to the magistrate this morning. Applicant—l wish protection against my husband, who is a convict. Mr. Selfe—Of course he is not with you then ? Applicant—No, he is not. Mr. Selfe--Then you cannot have much to fear at present. What is his sentence ? Applicant—Ten years' transportation. Mr. Selfe—flow long has he been gone ? Applicant—About twelve months. I\fr. Selfe—W i tlat protection do you want ? Applicant—l have a letter in my hand from him, at Chatham, commencing with the words " Dear wife," in which he says I must join him in Australia or America that nobody else shall possess me. lie says that if I don't have him nobody else shall have me. I feel in great danger, knowing as I do what he is. Mr. Selfe—l should not think you have much to apprehend ; he is pretty safe at present. Applicant—l don't know that. He has made two or three attempts to get away, and may suc ceed next time. Mr. Selfe—They will hold him pretty fast. It is not so easily to get away as you think. Applicant—This is the sixth time he has been away from me. Can I have no protection for my property ? I expect to come into some in a few months' time, and my husband may claim it. Mr. Selfe—Your husband's is An involuntary de sertion—not such a leaving you as the law contem plates. Applicant -4 am afraid he will come back. Mr. Selfe—lt will be many years hence. They don't part with them easily. I.llake yourself con tented. Applicant then withdrew. THAMES. VINDICTIVENESS.—WiIIiam Wool, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with vio lently assaulting George Trotter, whose head was bandaged. The complainant said he was a mariner, and that he lived at the Sailors' Home in Well-street. Yes terday afternoon, at half-past 4 o'clock, h e was entering the Home when the prisone r w i t h hi s fi s t struck' him a violent blow on the head, and knocked him down, an d while he was d own ki c k e d hi m on the forehead, and inflicted a severe wound, from which the blood flowed copiously. The wound was afterwards dressed by a surgeon. The officers of the Home at (MCC secured the prisoner. you have any quarrel with the Mr. Benson—Lid prisoner ? Witness—No, sir. I had not seen him before for a long time. The Prisoner—lie kept me in irons for a week. The prosecutor said that he and the prisoner sailed in the same ship, the Deerfoot. In the course of the voyage he directed the prisoner to rig the royal studding sail boom. The prisoner did not pay any attention to the order, and half an hour after wards he saw him indolently lying over the yard. Ile ordered the prisoner to attend to his duty, and reported his neglect to the captain, who put him in irons. Mr. Benson—You was an officer of the ship, I suppose? The Complainant—l was second mate. The Prisoner—He has been telling yarns about me. lie tried to coax me to Sunderland, to which place he belongs, and wants to give me a good thrashing. _ . Mr. Benson —I have nothing to do with that. Your defence makes the matter worse. You have showed a spirit of vindictiveness. The complainant did his duty on board the Deerfoot, and you ne glected yours. I shall not fine you, but sentence you to 1-1 days' iuvrimnuout and hard labour, Extraordinary Adventure of a Soldier. It is reported that in the early part of last month a soldier, named Jonathan Howard, belonging to the Military Train, stationed at Woolwich, conceived the idea of starting for a run on the road a la Dick Turpin.. Being a servant of Lieut. Crawford, of the Military Train, his peculiar duty was to look after his master's horse and accoutrements, and this, no doubt, offered him extraordinary facilities for ob taining a good horse and other requisites. It seems he first of all presented himself at the military stables, and asked for his master's horse. As he had a few papers in one hand, and nis master's sword in the other, it was thought he was duly authorised ; so the animal, properly saddled and bridled, was handed over to him without question. After mount ing, he took his way over Shooter's Hill before the trick had been discovered. The police were soon on his track, but he succeeded for some time in evading them, marching through towns and villages in a very stately manner, with his drawn sword over his shoulder. As he had no money it was for some time a puzzle how Howard managed, but it was found at one place that he had got all that he wanted for himself and his horse by representing himself to be the avant courier of a detachment of the Military Train, who would shortly pass through the place, and after ordering billets for the supposed detach ment he took care to get what he and his horse re quired, telling the landlords to charge it all to the general account, which the quartermaster would pay, while in several instances he departed with an additional fee for the orders he left on behalf of the officers said to be with the detachment following. In this way Howard managed to prevail upon the landlord of the Roebuck Inn, near Sz.evenage, to allow him to run up a score of 3s. for his supper, bed, and breakfast, which he very kindly left for the officer of the • detachment to pay with the rest. At another time when his horse cast a shoe, Howard seems to have gone to a blacksmith and ordered a quantity of shoes for the horses of the imaginary detachment, not for getting to have his own horse, supplied with a shoe to be charged in the general account, besides accept ing a fee for the order. In this way Howard, although without money, managed to keep out of sight till Saturday night last, when Inspector Hawkes happened to catch sight of the delinquent, just as he was entering a village on the skirts of Wakefield, and succeeded in apprehending him. It appears that Howard is a native of Wakefield, and was making for home. He had absconded once before, and was found "at home ;" but this time he was disappointed when within almost hailing dis tance of it, and now he awaits court-martial at Aldershot. Both horse and man were in pretty good condition considering the journey they had had.—Manchester Guardian. SCIENTIFIC JOl TIN GS. The Politica of Madrid states on the strength of recent measurements that the Pyrenees have, since the last 20 years, lost 30 metres in altitude. Sup posing the depression to continue, our worthy con temporary calculates that, after the lapse of 1,000 years, the chain that separates Spain from France will realise the celebrated words " Il u'y a plus de Pyr6nees" by disappearing altogether, in which case the Ebro will fall into the Bay of Biscay instead of emptying itself into the Mediterranean. In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, Father Secchi describes the curious appearance of sunlight in an artificial grotto cut into the glacier of the Upper Grindelwald, Switzerland. This grotto was about 100 metres deep ; its walls were trans parent, the rays of the sun penetrating through the ice, and thereby acquiring a beautiful blue or slightly violet tint. This imparted to all those present a frightful cadaverous hue. The sunlight at the entrance of the grotto, on the contrary, appeared red : an effect of contrast. The thickness of the ice overhead was 15 metres. From this Father Secchi concludes that the real colour of water is blue tinged with violet.—The Journal des Connaissances Medi cales publishes a curious statistical account concern ing French apothecaries and chemists, from which it appears there are at the present moment 35 che mists' shops in Paris, producing collectively 758,060 f., and on sale for the aggregate sum of 1,168,000 f. The average receipts of each are 21,657 f., and the market value of each 33,37 lfr. The total receipts of 126 chemist's shops now on sale in the provinces is 1,591,000 fr. ; the upset prices forma total of 2,062,500 fr. The average income of each is there fore 12,6261 r., and the value of each 16,369 fr. There are in France only three chemists who began to exercise their profession in 1807 ; there are seven of 1808, six of 1809, three of 1810 ; 9 of 1811, seven of 1812, eight of 1813, and 23 of 1814. The total number now practising in France, 5,705. NEW LIFEBOATS.—The workmen of Glasgow have presented to the National Lifeboat Institution the cost, amounting to £l2O, of a new lifeboat and transport ing carriage, which are to be placed at . Ayr, N. 8., in lieu of a boat already there which has become unfit for further service. The now boat, which is 32 feet long and rows 10 oars double banked, is named the " Glasgow Workmen's Lifeboat," and is to bo publicly exhibited in that city on Saturday next, the 12th inst. The success of this benevo lent undertaking has been mainly owing to the zealous exertions of Mr. George Norval, of the Central Working Men's Club and Institute. The city and county of Wor cester have also presented to the institution a similar life boat and transporting carriage, which are about to be sta tioned at Bembridge, on the coast of the Isle of Wight, and the boat which is named the City of Wormsster is to be publicly launched at Bembridge, on Tuesday next, the 15th inst. The cost of the boat and carriage has boon mainly collected through the indefatigable exertions of Captain Saumarez Fraser, R.N. This lifeboat has, like everything connected with the National Lifeboat Institu tion, received the cordial support of Sir John Pakiugton, Bart., M.P., her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State fix• War. A commodious boathouse has been erected for the boat from the designs of Mr. C. U. Cooke, the honorary architect of the society. THE NEW MASTERS AND SERVANTS ACT. —At the Wandsworth Police-court yesterday, a gentleman applied to Mr. Ingham to know whether, under the new Act, lie could punish a domestic for going away and leaving the work in his house unfinished. After examining the clauses of the Act, Mr. Ingham said he had no jurisdiction in such , 4 case. ihare THE COLOUR OF GRAPES. In respect to the relation subsisting between colour and flavour, this point must always he borne in mind—that black grapes in perfect condition, as to colour and bloom, but deficient of flavour, will, if allowed to hang on the vines, continue for a long time to improve. In these cases colour and bloom are attained before the flesh is fully ripe, and when the eye has pronounced them perfect the palate presently declares them imperfect, and therefore flavour as well as appearance should be included in the category of qualities to which we apply the term '' finish." On the other hand, black grapes that arc not black, that perhaps are red, but poss s sing a good flavour, will, if allowed to hang on the vines, continually deteriorate. In other words, they will not hang ; they contain more water than black samples, and have already stored up as much sugar in their cells as they are capable of secreting, and the next, and a not far off, stage of their career is decomposition. The same red grapes are deficient of bloom, which is a natural accom paniment of a healthy skin and a firm pedicel, and therefore while their interior pulp is in a condition to undergo speedily a destructive change, so the skin of the berries, having none of the protection which a bloom affords—for that is the use of the bloom—is in a condition to become speedily mil dewed, and the pedicels being loosely attached soon allow the berries to fall. As a matter of fact, red grapes soon become watery if kept on the vines, and on the slightest touch the berries fall to the ground in showers. As a matter of fact, black grapes—grapes of good size, deep colour, and with a plentiful bloom—will hang on the vines for a considerable time without becom ing mildewed, without becoming loosened from their pedicels, without changing their contents from sweet mucilage to water, but indeed with a change always augmenting up to a certain point of their keeping, from a less rich to a more rich condition, and to a condition at last far surpassing the condi tion of highest perfection ever attained by the red grapes. As a rule, grapes that are perfect in colour, but imperfect in flavour, are simple not yet ripe ; but grapes from very young vines, produced by rapid systems of cultivation, never have so good a flavour as grapes from old vines, that are neither highly fed nor forced in haste. There is but one way to sum up these considerations with a view to judging, and it is this: that although colour may not indicate what a grape is, it is usually indicative of what it will be, and in the end we shall find, malgre occasional exceptions, that colour is of much more importance than it has been commonly re garded in the judging of grapes.—From Ilibberd's Gardener's Magazine. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough are en tertaining a distinguished party of friends at Blenheim. Lord Lyons, it is expected, will leave for Paris in the course of the ensuing week, to enter upon his duties as Ambassador to the Court of the Tuileries. Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdale are shortly expected to arrive at Linton, near Maidstone, from his lordship's shooting quarters in the north of Scotland. TIIE END OF THE LONG VACATION.—On the 24th inst., at common law, and the 28th at Chancery, the long vacation will terminate. Some new rules are expected to be made. GAROTTING IN PARIS.—The creation of a corps of mounted police is spoken of for the protection of Paris from the gangs of garotters by which it is at present infested. GREAT FIRE.—A fire resulting in very consider able damage occurred at Dundee on Tuesday night. The fire started in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Stephens and Sons. Two ships, one almost ready for launching, also caught fire, and both they and other combustible materials in the yard were destroyed. The llamas likewise spread eastward to the yard of Brown and Simpson, the sheds of which were burned to the ground, and a large iron ship on the stocks had the deck and all the woodwork burned. Tho damage is estimated at about £60,000. Nearly 200 operatives will be thrown idle, besides having their tools destroyed. THE FATAL ILLNESS OF M. FOULD.—The IX;bats publishes some details of the attack which proved fatal to M. Fould. It appeals that in the course of Saturday he wrote to several people inviting them to his estate, and giving some account of his late hunting experiences. The table was set at 6 o'clock, but the dinner had scarcely be gun when M. Fould was seized with a lit of shivering, and complained of sudden pains in the arms and hands. At the entreaty of Madame Funk' he left the room and went to bed, asking to be left alone, saying that it was but a slight indisposition, and he wanted to sleep. At half-past 7 Madame Fould went up to the room to see how he was, and receiving no reply to her question, thought he was iu a deep sleep and withdrew. At 9 o'clock she went again, and receiving no answer from him, hastened to his bed, took his hand and found he was dead. It is believed that he died immediately:after he got into bed. . . FLOGGING GAHorrEns.—Yesterday the punish ment of the lash was inflicted at Armley Gaol, neaa Leeds, on those garotters who had been sentenced at the West Riding Assizes, held in August last. The criminals, were William Casey, a stiffly-built and determined -looking young fellow ; Heniy Campbell, a hawker, 31 years of ago; and Samuel Hirst, 26 years old, and a mechanic. All the offences had been committed within the borough of Leeds. Casey's case was a very bad one. Along with a companion (not in custody) ho assaulted and robbed Wm. Pearson Kirby, kicked him on the mouth and on the left side, and in thus kicking over the chin had cut off a portion of pro secutor's tongue. When taken into custody Casey re marked, "I do not care for the affair if they don't warm my back for it ;" and the judge, after observing that this was one of the worst cases of garotting that had come before him, sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude, and ordered him to receive two dozen lashes with the cat o'-nine-tails. Campbell, tho second convict, in the course of a street robbery, struck his victim over the eye with a half brick, and nearly blinded that organ for life; and he was also ordered to undergo a similar punishment. The third prisoner, Hirst, was concerned with a woman in an other street robbery, in which the prosecutor was garotted with great violence, his mouth torn severely, and a severe kick on the side administered, - which loft •him insensible, and his lordship passed sentence exactly to the same effect as he had done in the two previous cases. The punish ment inflicted yesterday seemed to be fully appreciated by each of the prisoners. MR. 'BRIGHT.—The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, at a meeting of the Town Council on Tuesday, read the following letter received from Mr. Bright in acknowledg ment of the proposal to confer upon him the freedom of that city :" My dear Lord Provost,—l have to thank you for the kind letter in which you inform me of the wish of your magistrates and council to confer upon me the free dom of your city. lam not insensible to the value of the honour which is thus offered to me, and if I were in Edinburgh, or were likely soon to be there, it would be impossible for me to refuse their kind proposal. Ido not expect to be in Edinburgh at an early period, and, unfor tunately, I cannot now easily arrange to be there ; and I am compelled, therefore, to ask that the honour intended for me may be deferred for the present. You will oblige me by conveying my warm thanks to the magistrates and council of Edinburgh for their most kind disposition towards me, and the assurance that it is from no want of courtesy on my part that I am unable now to come to your city to receive thS distinction which they have pro posed through you to confer upon me." EAST INDIA POLICE FORCE. --A general statement as to this force was published as a Parliamentary paper last session, on the motion of Lord William Hay. From this it appears that the towns and rivers of Cal cutta, with a population of 377,924 persons, and an area of more than seven miles, have for their protection a total strength of 1,643 police, or one policeman to 230 persons. The suburbs of Calcutta, which contain an approximate population of 238,325 indiViduals, and an area of 29 1-5 square miles, are supplied with 1,026 police, or one to every 232} of the population. The town of Madras has a population of 460,000 persons, an area of 27 square miles, and a total of 834 police, including foot, mounted, and marine divisions. The town of Bombay has 1,500 police, which allows one to 544 inhabitants, inasmuch as there is a population of 816,562 persons, and an area of 21 square miles. Each force has among its members many varieties as to sect and creed, including Europeans, Eurasians, Ilindoos, Mahommedans, native Christians, and others. HONOUR TO THE BRAVE.—On Saturday J ames Harrington, of Flamborougb, who nobly rescued four poor fellows, one a Swedish sailor, from certain death on the rocks near a cave known as " Robin Lythe's Hole," received at the hands of the Swedish Vice-Consul for Hull the silver medal of the King of Sweden and Nurway for "meritorious services," and at the same time a purse containing £2B was presented.. Lord Londesborough had intended to take the chair on the occasion, but was unavoidably absent. Har rington had previously received the silver medal of the Royal National Life Boat Institution, and a testimonial on vellum from the Board of Trade, accompanied by £5. Two men who pointed out to Harrington whore the shipwrecked men wore each received 30s. THE REINDEER.—About 40 years ago efforts were made to domesticate the European variety both in Scot land and Irelan d. Largo herds were turned out. on some of the Duke of Athole's Highland estates, and on the Pentland hills near Edinburgh ; for others home was found in a park near Dublin ; but from some cause or other these exgeritnents were not crowned with much fittooeo.

Rome continues uiet. BULL FIG furs.—The press of Madrid has for some time past beau publishing articles against bull-fighting, and in their attacks on the sport have given some curious statistics. The number of bull-fights have of late consi derably increased, and it is calculated that in h single year, 1861, as many as 1,990 of those animals wore thus sacrificed. The value of each being estimated at 2,500 reals, the loss may be set down at 4,975,000 reels. In the same year, 3,000 horses, worth 600,000 reals, are supposed to have perished. The losses in 1866 worn still greater, and con sisted of 2,375 bulls and 3,561 horses, representing a total value of about 7,800,000 reels. The money paid for ad mission to the 475 bull-fights which took place last year amounted to 13 millions of reels, so that the total cost of that amusement to the country for the year was not less , than a million Of piastres, yr £m millions of francs. -----, tt ty. ❑cess 1. ) the been :, Sir, ...... 20 et et 100 too st 20i 10 100 I ISSE, 1110 100 100 all 100 100 103} nog
