There is still an extreme degree of quietude in monetary and commercial circles. Trade generally shows little improvement, and there continues to be a superabundance of unemployed capital. In the general discount market no change whatever can be reported in the rates current for accommodation. Gold amounting to £15,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. At the meeting held this day of the shareholders of the Great Western Railway Company of Canada a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, was agreed to. Atlantic and Great 'Western Railway Debentures remain at 21 26 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 211 221. Our market continues depressed, and although stocks are not accumulating prices still favour buyers. There is no definite reason assigned for this, but general want of confidence seems to prevail. The tenders for the New Zealand Provincial Auckland Government Loan were opened yesterday at the Bank of New Zealand. The total amount tendered for was £155,000, of which £52,400 was alloted at and above the minimum price of 95. At the preliminary meeting of the shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Railway, preparatory to the general meeting to be held at Brussels, the directors report was presented. It states that the gross receipts for the past half-year amounted to £132,737 10s. 10d., out of which £74,437 Is. 2d. has been paid for working expenses, leaving £ 5 8,300 9s.

The at dance at this morning's market was limited, and business in all descriptions of produce progressed slowly. The arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent have been only moderate, and, with a fair demand for both rod and white qualities, the extreme prices of Monday were realised. In foreign a good retail business was transacted at fully that day's rates. Barley continues scarce, and the quotations have an upward tendency. Floating cargoes of wheat were in brisk demand, at ad vancing prices. Barley was eagerly sought for. Other descriptions of grain wore in active demand. The malt trade is without alteration. The supply was moderately extensive. There was a good show of oats, and sound corn moved off steadily at Monday's currencies. Beans and peas com manded former terms, but the amount of business passing was limited. Maize realised full values. Tares were unchanged in value. Linseed and rapeseed were firm in price, but the demand was not active. Cakes ruled steady at late rates. Town-made flour was unaltered in value, but prices had an upward tendency. Other descriptions fully maintained Monday's prices. ♦ItItIOALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

Owing to the general conviction that the crop is of a fair average yield, the market here is very inactive, and prices are gradually declining. Accounts from the Con- tinent also advised less demand, and a fall in the quota tions. On the other hand, American reports speak of more firmness in the market for all descriptions.

Bermuda, via Halifax SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Birming ham Gazette records the sudden demise of the Rev. G. W. White, rector of Darleston. The rev. gentleman went to the parish church on Sunday morning in order to dis charge his duties, and was seized with sudden illness as he was about to leave the vestry for the purpose of com mencing the service. The attack was so severe as to ne cessitate the removal of the rev. gentleman at once to tho rectory, where medical aid was procured, but without avail. He died about eight o'clock on Monday morning. The rev. gentleman was in his 79th year. AUGUSTA ANN MITCHELL.—This young woman, convicted of robbing a groom, and sentenced by Mr. Payae, at the Middlesex Sessions, to eight months' imprisonment on the 3d of last month, was removed from the W estmin ster House of Correction on Wednesday, the 2d inst., to the home (not reformatory) for the reception of fallen women, of which Mr. Thomas is secretary. She had since her commitment to prison been engaged in oakum picking, and when the decision of the Home Secretary was made known to her her delight was great, and she seemed to properly appreciate the exertions which had been made in her behalf. While she remains an inmate of the home she will be employed in domestic and other duties of a light character, at the same time will receive every attention with a view to her reclamation. - THUNDER AND HAILSTORM AT LIVERPOOL.— About five o'clock on Monday evening a terrific hail storm swept over . Liverpool, accompanied with vivid flashes of sheet and forked lightning. So sudden was the storm that the only notice given was a tremendous down fall of hail-stones, some as large as a pigeon's egg; then a volley of thunder that seemed to run from north to south, and an incessant flashing of lightning. The streets in the lower parts of the town were ankle-deep in hailstone; and several of the principal photographers' studies in Castle and Lord-streets had theirglass frames smashed in, besides other damage. The damage done to the fruit trees in the neighbourhood and the conservatories must be immense. A FRENCH STATUTE FAIR.—The Presse gives an account of the vintagers' (statute) fair, which is held every year at Argenteuil the night before the opening of the vintage, and which took place on Thursday last. It is impossible (says the journal) to form an idea without being present of the peculiar features of this gathering, which is of the most exciting and tumultuous kind ima ginable. A whole population of many thousands —men, women, and young girls—arrive successively in dense groups from all the villages in the environr, and instal themselves, not in publichouses, but on the thresholds of private domicile; in the road; and on the pavement of the streets. At nightfall circulation begins to bo a difficult pro ss, and all the roads and pathways leading to the town, already crowded with people, continue to pour in large ac cessions to the number of these rustic visitors, so that by 11 o'clock at night it is barely possible to penetrate these agglomerated masses, whose undulations make one think of the waters of the sea. The little town is now nothing more than an immense bivouac, the surplus population being estimated at 12,000 strangers. Some dance the foram doles, others aro singing rondos ; some, again, are sleeping, or trying to sleep, upon the ground; others, quarrelling, shout;ng, and pushing one another about ; while in many places fires are lighted, and potatoes and chestnuts are cooked on wood cinders. No migratory encampment on the plains of Africa ever presented so strange and original a spectacle. Police agents pass the night in the midst of immense crowds, to keep the disorder within moderate bounds; and their duly on this occasion is no sinecure, for they have much to do to suppress the affrays which are constantly taking place. These officers are assi s t e d b y de tachments of brigades from St. Germain and St. Cloud. The vine growers do not arrive at the fail until about 3 o'clock in the morning, when all singing ceases, as if by some irresistible command ; angry disputants calm down, the sleepers awake, and each cultivator is immediately sur rounded,interrogated, and beset by troops of vintagers cla mouring to be Weed, all boasting of their qualities and aptitude; and all speaking at the same time—a veritable hubbub. Towards 5 o'clock in the morning the bargains are all made, and then the filing off begins. The vine growers, like officers commanding a regiment, advance to wards home, followed by their little army of vintagers, • whose joyous songs awake the echoes of the surrounding neighbourhood, June. pm pm pm rim SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENENKy', 00 ron-ER 9, 1867.

These well• known contractors, whose stoppage created so much excitement recently, were to have come up to-day to pass their last examination, but no general accounts being filed the case stood over to a future day. The following copy of the abstract of the claim of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company may perhaps be most interesting to the public : The company claim as follows :—Cash paid to the bankrupts as per contracts, .Z 1,103,412 ; stccks and debentures taken or realised by the contractors, £11,591,551—t0ta1, £15,997,993. Oa the other side :—The contractors have pai I cash, &e., £2,171,336 ; work done, £2.093,261; cash received by the company from the public for the Metropoli tan Extension stock and debentures to.ken by the bankrupts, £1,171,450; balance due to company, .t 6,661,913. The bankrupts dispute these figures, and the realisation of the estate depends upon the settlement of this account. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. John Connor, a tall, powerful-looking specimen of the London-Irish " Rough," was charged by Theophilus Redstall, the gaoler of the court, with assaulting him in the execution of his duty, and also with using threatening language ; and Margaret Murray, an ill-favoured elderly woman of the same class, was charged by William Lynch, one of the warrant officers of the court, with attempting to rescue the other prisoner. Redstall deposed that about a quarter to seven o'clock last evening he was engaged, with the assis- tance of the warrant officers of the court and con stables appointed to the duty, in removing ten pri soners to the police van, which was drawn up in Bow-street, at the door of the court. As he was taking from the court door to the van a man named Bryant, who had been committed for 10 days for an assault, he saw the prisoner standing on the pavement, near the entrance steps. The prisoner had also appeared (on a summons) to answer a charge of assault, and had been ordered to pay the costs and find bail in two sureties of £lO each to keep the peace for six months. He had paid the costs and found bail, and had been discharged from custody about ten minutes before the van drew up at i the door. But while under detention he had been confined in the same cell with Bryant. As Bryant was about to slip into the van, the prisoner made a rush towards him and tried to pass to him a bundle wrapped up in a red pocket handkerchief. Witness took the handkerchief from him and found that it contained a bottle of spirits. William Lynch, warrant officer of the court, said he was on duty at the time, and seeing the prisoner attack Redstall seized him, and endeavoured to take the bundle from him. A woman in the crowd called out, "Sling it, Jack" (meaning throw it away). _ The Magistrate said for the assault on the constable he must be imprisoned one month, and then find two securities of £lO each to keep the peace for three months. He then inquired as to the character of the woman Murray, who it seemed had been repeatedly in custody for assaults. The magistrate committed her for 14 days. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEEUL DESERTION BY PARENTS.—CharIes Coke, an intelligent-looking boy, was charged with being found destitute. Alfred Paley, 164 B, said that at one. o'clock this morning he was in Pond-place, Fulham-road, when he was informed that there was a poor boy lying in the open air. Witness went to the place pointed out, and found the defendant at the back of the model dwellings in a coal box. 'Witness asked him what took him there, when he replied that he was glad to get anywhere, as he had got no home, his father and mother having deserted him about three months ago. Mr. Arnold—ls this account correct ? Boy—lt is. Mr. Arnold—Why did you not go into the work house when your parents deserted you ? Boy—l was in work then when they ran away from me, but I soon got out after that. Mr. Arnold—How old are you ? Boy—Thirteen next July. Mr. Arnold—Where have you been sleeping lately ? Boy—ln the coal box at the back of the model lodging house. I'm doing nothing for a living now. Mr. Arnold—. What is your father ? Boy—Well, he is a Catholic now, but he used to be a Protestant. Mr. Arnold—What trade is he—how does he get his living ? Boy—lie is a " navvy." Mr. Arnold—Does your mother do anything ? Boy— She goes out to work. Mr. Arnold—Do you know where they are ? Boy—No, I don't; I aint heard since they ran away from me. Mr. Arnold—Have you any brothers or sisters 't Boy—Yes, I have a brother—he's in a reforma tory ; and I have two little sisters at home ; al least they were when father and mother ran away from me. Mr. Arnold directed the poor boy to be taken to he workhouse for the present. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A "FENIAN" CHARGED WITH BRUTAL ASSAULTS. —John Kain, an Irish tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting George Hubbard, a boy, and also Police-constable Marks, 120 C. George Hubbard, a boy residing at No. 12, Great Chapel-street, said—l was going through Crown-court yesterday afternoon when the pri soner called me a Fenian." I took no notice of him and walked on, when he followed me and struck me and knocked me down. Some people came and took him from me, and I went away. He then followed me, and knocked me down again, and kicked me about the side and shins. 1 had not said a word to him, and I know nothing of him. A constable took him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How many times did the prisoner kick you ? The Boy—Five times altogether. Police-constable Marks, 120 C, said—Yesterday afternoon I was told that a man was illusing a boy in Crown-court, and on going to the court he found the boy (Hubbard) crying. He asked the boy what was the matter, sal he said that the prisoner had been illusing hiat. I took the p r i soner i n t o custody, and as soon as I did so I was surrounded by four or five men and women, and was knocked down. While on the ground the prisoner tried to kick me on the head, but another constable, 163 be prevented hi m. Oa the way to C, coming up, the station the prisoner said, "I am a Fenian, and if I had what I had is Gray's-inn-lane I would show you what I would do, as I would use my revolver to blow your brains out." Mr. l'yrwhitt—Two can play at that. We have not come to it yet to be bullied by a parcel of ruffians and low fellows. The Prisoner—l said nothing about Gray's-inn lane or a revolver. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l do not care about your petty swagger about a revolver and all that. You will have a mouth, with hard labour, for kicking the boy. THAMES. CRUELTY TO A IlonsE.—John Isbell, aged 44, and described as a labourer, of Beacontree-heath, Essex, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals with working a horse while it was in an unfit condition to be worked. Mr. Benson fined the prisoner 20s. THE ABOLITION OF PASSES POE CATTLE.—The North Riding Chamber of Agriculture are now trying to obtain the appointment of a person in every parish to grant cattlo passes, the present system of seeking up the magis trates causing the farmers groat inconvenience at times. If the magistrates have no power to grant this, notice will be given to memorialise the Privy Council to give such power and to do away with county restrictions, making the pass available for any part of the interior, or , as th ere i s now no plague, to abolish the pass opt= altogether. FENIAN OU7I?AGE IN 11121.14'CHESTER. The authorities continue to receive anonymous letters, and in some of this correspondence the writers profess to give information where Kelly and Deasy are concealed. Whether these letters are the result of zeal in the cause of jus tico cr are intended simply by misteading the police to. keep them off the right scent is at present only a rrx Ater of specula tion. They do not feel justified in disregarding such information, and it conscquextly leads to much annoyance and useless effort. Th.. Salford police' made a descent on Monday night - upon a house in Ford-lane, Pendluton, in that bur Dugh. They male an examination of r hat and theadj Dining houses, bA without result. The s.:areh diseic s;• t lhat some of the occupants had Fenian sympa,hi, , for portraits of Burke and Feni in newspapers were found in the house. A man found in ono of them, bearing a strong resemblance to Kelly, Iv.ts aralited, but afterwards set at liberty. Yesterday, at the Manchester Police-con !1., James and Mary Foley were brought up oii remand charged with having threatened a witness named Ellis, upon whose information one of the Fenian prisoners (a brother of Foley's) had been arrested. Mr. Roberts remarked that the prisoners had been remanded for a week, and that the case was not one that called for severe punishment, and he asked that they might be discharged. This the magistrate (Mr. Kennedy) re - ased, and ultimately the pri soners had to find two sureties in £5O each, and enter into their own recognisances for £lOO to keep the peace for six months. It may be remembered that the two defendants went to the witness's house, when the woman said that she would be avenged of him if she " swung" for it, while the man said if witness gave any more evidence he would pay smartly for it. The witness Ellis, who was in court, _ _ was wonderfully changed in appearance and demea nour through the fear inspired by threats and warn ings. He lives in Hyde-road, near Irish neighbours, and told the magistrate that through the loss of appetite _and health he had been unable to work since the attack on the police van and his appear ance as a witness. He wished to know if he could have any compensation. The clerk of the court said that was not the place to apply for compensation. It may be remarked that Ellis was one of the most intelligent of the witnesses of the occurrence when he first gave evidence. He now appears to have lost courage sadly as well as health, and the police com plain that many witnesses lost courage to state in the witness box what they had said when first con fronted with the prisoners and identifying them. THE INQUEST. At the court of the Coroner for the city yesterday the adjourned inquiry was held into the circum stances which led to the death of Police-sergeant Charles Brett during the attack on the police van on the 18th September. The Coroner (Mr. Her ford) said that, inasmuch as 23 persons had already been committed for trial on the charge of murder arising out of this case, among whom was the man mentioned to the jury at a former inquiry as the man who fired the fatal shot, there was no need for them to pursue the evidence further. It would difficult, if desirable, to get witnesses to go so fully into the inquiry as had been done in another court, and he thought there was sufficient evidence on the depositions to warrant them in coming to a verdict. The jury found a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against William O'Meara Allen and others un known. FRENCH FINANCE. The Semaine Financiere publishes a long article on the panic which lately affected the price of secu rities at the Bourse. The writer admits that false rumours may have produced a certain effect on the market, but only of a temporary character, and he insists that mere reports could never have influenced the public mind so seriously had not great uneasi ness already set in, and prepared, as it were, the general sentiment of the money market to listen to false representations. Two kinds of circumstances had acted on the public, one of an economic char acter, and the other political. Our contemporary says:—"From the economic point of view there are, first of all, the facts specially connected with the financial market. How could a revelation such as that which occurred last month as to the position of the Credit Mobiliere and the Immobiliere be made without affecting numerous interests and exciting serious distrust? That incident proved that a con siderable capital, represented by scrip in the hands of shareholders, was menaced in its integrity, and condemned to remain without revenue for an inde finite period. To the securities without produce which encumber the market, and which represent enormous sums either entirely lost or compromised, to shares and bonds of the Spanish and Italian rail ways, to the Mexican Bonds left in depreciation, not withstanding the governmental patronage which so ostensibly encouraged their issue, were going to be added the scrip of two companies which had of late years taken and exercised the high and active initia tive in speculation, both in movable and landed pro party. Such an event should inevitably give a profound shock to public confidence. Besides, this sad surprise surged up in the midst of economic cir cumstances which raised perspective difficulties for the ensuing winter. We have this year two bad crops in corn and wine, and we are subject to dear ness of provisions ; manufacturers are suffering and restrict their operations. As to the French funds, they could not help being affected by the known amount of the floating debt, and by the extraordi nary expenses entailed by the reorganisation of the army. On the other hand, political circumstances are not calculated to counterbalance the unfavour able elements of the financial situation. Wo do not wish here to allude to incidents of the kind of those which have appeared to affect the Bourse during the past week, and which have been denied by the Government. We speak of the political situation from a general point of view. What cha racterises this state:of things is the incertitude and ignorant perplexity which it inflicts upon public opinion. Are affairs marching towards war or peace ? No really decisive answer has yet been given to settle the dilemma with sufficient evi dence and authority for the re-establishment of public confidence on a solid basis. The ' dark spots' of which the Emperor spoke a month since have not yet been effaced by a new Governmental decla ration. The Moniteur announced a few days ago that the services of the contingent of the last reserve would last this year five months, instead of three. This precaution of military instruction evi dently does not correspond with an ordinary state of things. General Fleury is going from Vienna to Berlin. It is not permissible to attribute a political object to that journey? The principal Ministers are at Biarritz, and it is allowable to think that they are going to deliberate with the Emperor on the mea sures which will express what the unity of direction in the governmental views is—what the concerted action of the different Ministers aims at. How can the confidence of the public be restored before the results of the councils at Biarritz are announced? The presence at the same place of the Italian Mini ster, M. Nigra, is also an indication of important negotiations prepared in connection with the Italian crisis ; on that point, also, in order to see clearly, information is required as to the decisions which will be taken, and doubt must be submitted to until the final word is pronounced. Therefore, in no reason- able manner can the disquietude and the agitation of the financial market be attributed to the inexact rumours spread as to the details of daily facts."

The Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, Mr. T. Duffus Hardy, gives in his 28th annual report an interesting account of the progress made during the year 1866 in the classification and calendering of the va'uable State papers and other documents under his care, It appears that the distinction for merly drawn between literally and legal applicants have been abolished, and that all persons, whatever their objees may be, can inspect and copy the pu:;lic rec:.ris gratuitously. The photozineography operations at the Ordnance Survey Office at South ampton were continued during the year under the superintendence of Mr. ll'ilFaut IlasnTi Sanders, the second part of the English series having been published in the course of the summer. The third part will comprise documents of the reigns of Queen Mary an I Queen Elizabeth. Mr. Sanders has selected for photozincography a number of curious documents relating to State prisoners in the Tower of London. Among them are the warrant for the commitment of Sir Henry Vane, July 7, 1660 ; the warrant for the commitment of the regicides, Colonel Martin, Colonel Downe-1, Colonel Lilburne, and others, August 15, 1660 ; a Secretary of State's order to " put Dr. Heyden into the dungeon this night, that wee may see what effect this will have upon him towards his confession," January 24, 1666-7 ; an order under the Royal sign manual to suffer the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury to have access unto the Lord Strafford "to confer with him upon certaine matters in which Wee have given him Our commands," January 21, 1678-9 ; writ for the delivery of Algernon Sydney to the Sheriff of London on the 17th of December, 1683, for execu tion—the writ specifying that he is to be dragged through the city of London to the gallows at Ty- , burn, and recites all the details of a sentence for high treason, the Sheriff's receipt being attached, witnessed by Sir George Jeffreys, Chief Justice of the King's Bench; an order under the Royal sign manual, signed with a trembling hand, for the commitment of the Duke of Monmouth's children, July 9, 1685 ; warrant for the delivery of the body of James, Duke of Monmouth, to the Sheriff of London on the 15th of July, between the hours of 9 and 11 in the forenoon, for execu tion on Tower-hill, July 13, 1685 ; the King's order to allow the Duke of Monmouth and Lord Grey to have each a servant ; that the Bishop of Ely is to acquaint the Duke of Monmouth " that he is to dy to-morrow," and that ho may see his children, 14th July, 1685 ; the King's order for the Duchess of Monmouth to have access to the Duke, either this day "or to-morrow morning," 14th July, 1685 ; the King's order to permit the Duchess of Monmouth "to dispose of the body of her daughter, that is now dead in the Tower, as shee shall think fitt," 12th of August, 1685; an order for the commitment as "safe" prisoner of George, Lord Jeffreys, 12th December, 1688 ; an Order in Council to permit Mr. Laurence Braddon, who wrote several works respecting the mysterious end of the Earl of Essex, " to see and viewe ye chamber in the Tower of London where the late Earl of Essex was found dead," 24th January, 1688-9 ; an order under the Queen's sign manual to deliver the body of George, late Lord Jeffreys, to his relations, and permit them to carry it out of the Tower "in a private and decent manner" for burial, 30th September, 1692 ; and the Speaker's order for the commitment of Mr. Secretary Wal pole for corruption in receiving 500 guineas and a note for 500 more on account of two contracts for forage for the troops in North Britain, January 17, 1711-12. Mr. Prendergast and the Rev. Dr. Russell, the commissioners appointed to select for transcription the Irish official documents now among the Carte papers in the Bodleian Library at Ox ford, prosecuted their labours during the year with much zeal and discretion, having examined 28 volumes, containing upwards of 10,000 documents ranging in date from October, 1619 to 1689, a period full of events of the utmost importance in the history of Ireland. The papers selected for transcription amount to between 2,500 and 2,600 in number. On the value and importance of these papers the Commissioners remark that, as they proceed in their researches they are the more con firmed in the belief that it is to this great collection of papers that the state,smAn and student tuns principally have recourse in order to form an ade quate conception of the events which have most materially influenced the later period of Irish history. Of the papers selected by the Commis• sinners transcripts of 1,157 documents have been made in duplicate in 16 volumes and deposited in the Public Record-office, one copy to be preserved there and the other to be kept in such place in Dublin as may be selected for its deposit. The calendar of the Carew papers, which likewise contain highly valuable materials for the elucidation of Irish history, has been continued by the Rev. J. S. Brewer and _ Mr. William Millen. It will thus be s:: , ,eu that her Majesty's CTovernment has not been unmindful of the claims of Ireland to have the materials for its history made public. As the important historical documents in Rymer's " Fcedera " are compara tively unknown to scholars in consequence of the scanty and almost useless indexes to the various editions, the Rev. E. Cobham Brewer, LLD., has been engaged, at the suggestioti of the Master of the Rolls, to draw up a syllabus, or catalogue raisonne of the contents of the entire work. Various other catalogues and calendars calculated to facilitate the labours of literary inquirers were also in course o preparation ; and during this year nine volumes were published of the " Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland during the Middle Ages," making a total of 75 volumes. It is satisfactory to learn that the public demand for these publications continued to increase, 17,014 having been sold up to the end of the year. The fees received at the office in respect of searches, authenticated copies, and attendances amounted to only £628 12s. 10d. The decrease in this item; however, is simply owing ;so the fact that all fees were abolished after the 26th of May, 1866. A Tribute to Wheeler and Wilson.

Not in present years this medal Only decks your work sublime, But your memory shell be by it Honoured in all coming time. EFFECT OF NEW MILITARY ARMS.—An article iu the ifonzteur gives some details of the effects of the new military arms. According to the writer the improvement made in cannon and muskets, far from increasing the slaughter on the field of battle, has diminished it. lio gives the subjoined figures: —" At Austerlitz tho French loss was 14 per cont. of the effective engaged, the Russian 3U per cent., and the Austrian 44 ; at Wagratn the French 13 per 100, and the Austrian 14; at Borodino the French 37 per 100, and the Russian 44; at Bautzen the French 13, and the Russians and Prussians 14 per cent. ; at Waterloo French 36, the allies 31; at Magenta, French, 7, Austrians 8 ; at Solferino the French and Sardinians 10, and the Austrians 8 per 100." According to the report of the United States General Rosencrantz on the battle of Mur freosborough it required 27 cannon shot and 155 musket balls to kill one man. On each soldier of the enemy killed there was an expenditure of 9001 b. weight of iron. The mortality in armies is not due to the field of battle, but to disease; bivouacking on cold nights, halting in the midst of snow, marches under a burning sun—these are the real and terrible foes of the soldier. _ . _ THE EASTERN FISHERIES. -- The deliveries of herrings at Great Yarmouth have been somewhat reduced during the last few days by stormy weather.

There is feeling and sense in apiece of music which cannot bo hurt or violated without protest; the melody exclaims on its own score against its tortures, and will appear to shrink, to wriggle, to sigh, and to moan desperately, under bad treatment. When a vagabond assails the quiet of a street with his chu:onot, you can hear the miserable Italian airs quivering first a reproachful remonstrance, and then omitting abrupt and dismal petitions for release; but the fellow shows no mercy to Casta Diva;' on tho contrary, he pur sues that unfortunate tune up and down the scale, and seems to wang its neck with a vicious shako at the finish. Why should we not have a Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to Tunes? What base uses are not those poor braiu•childreu turned to? Did their originators ever intend thorn to assist (with a monkey) in bringing coppers into the greasy cap of an organ-grinder? Would not a Christy minstrel or so satisfy those wretches ? if it there are necessities in the case we might slightly abate the principle, and license the hawking of " Poor Old Jeff," although not without qualms for the degrada tion of the ebony 11)lisarius. As for brass bands and their atrocities, they deserve the treadmill. It is bad enough to hear a tune racked by a single inquisi tor; but when a mob, armed with cornet; opheicleides, trombones, and cymbal; surround it, make it run the gauntlet, and finally tear it asunder, the act b)comes a crime of unmitigated atrociti. The tune, say, is started, and allowed about live bars law. The cymbals, however, are fastened to its tail, and the creature is bewildered, and refuses to go further. Then comes the butchery, a kick from the trombone, a bayonet thrust from the cornet, ant a knock on the head from the drum." THE VICEROY OF EGYPT has ordered a corps of 10,000 •non to proceed to the frontiers of Abyssinia. The authorities at Cairo fancy our expedition is not half large enough, and say we should send at least 40,000 if we want to produce a real impression. They also deprecate our purchases of Spanish mules, and almost laugh . at us for buying them when we could get thousands of mules in Assyria which would stand the climate at £l5 each. There is a talk of the French becoming lessees of the rail road, in which case England will become tenants by cour tesy of tilt , rigid of WAY. — Army anti gravy Gage4' NOV 0 0° " 011 prig clone d lateg Oil ill croe 4 ; t a te. rwit- Pi s° was 0- 0 ot NIES. 120 I 1022 1 61 5 63i I 1031 110} I 191 1061 1
