uNEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Harvest operations are partially concluded, and the necessary expenditure has had little or no effect upon the Money Market. The local requirements ordinarily exercise some influence, notes and coin being so much required by the country banks. The minimum of the Bank, however, remains at 2 per cent., as the directors of the national establishment at their meeting to-day separated without notifying any alteration in their terms for commercial paper. The sum of £22,000 in blr gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Shannon has left Lisbon with the Brazilian mails, and about £75,000 in specie. At the meeting of the Don Pedro (Brazilian) Mining Company the dividend declared was 3s. 6d. per share for the quarter ending the 30th June, being at the rate of 100 per cent. per annum. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady at 23 25 ; but the Consolidated Alortgage Bonds have receded to 21 21i. At the meeting held to-day of the South-Eastern Railway Company the report was presented. With respect to the dividend, it stated that after making provision for all fixed charges, rents, and interest en the whole of the capital expenditure on lines and stations productive and open for traffic, the stun remaining applicable to the dividend on the consolidated stock is £107,904 6s. 11d. This sum is equal to the payment of a dividend at the rate of £ 2 l6s. 6d. per cent. per annum, but the directors recommend that the whole of the interest on capital invested in unproductive works, including the direct Tunbridge line, be charged to revenue ; de ducting this sum (£29,182 4s. 2d.) there will re main £78,722 2s. 9d., which is equal to a dividend On the consolidated stock after the rate of £2 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £2,357 14s. 9d., and this dividend the directors recommend to be Paid on Thursday, the sth September. Revenue will thus bear all interest charges. The cotton report of Messrs. E. B. Liddell and Co., dated Alexandria, 19th August, states that the market rem in the same lifeless condition as reported on the 12th instant, and the transactions may be considered as nil. With regard to cereals, they state that the unfavourable news from your side for Egyptian wheat has had very little effect upon prices here, as arrivals are small and freight to Liverpool by steamers has been as low as 3s. 3d. Per qr. The annexed communication is from the com mittee of Spanish Passive Bondholders : TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sir,—As public notice has been given that the Spanish Government is prepared to carry out the conversion of the Passive debt on the terms which were unhesitatingly refused by the late public meet ing, the committee will feel much obliged by your permitting them to inform the bondholders through Your columns that they have (in accordance with the resolution then passed) sent in to the Stock Exchange Committee a formal application, receipt of which has been dui) acknowledged, to re fuse a quotation to any new Spanish stock, bonds, or securities, until a satisfactory arrangement has been come to with t h e Passive bondholders.— 1 am, & c . , 11.

" Your Majesty having been graciously pleased to issue a Commission reciting that differences of practice have arisen from varying interpretations put upon the Rubrics, Orders, and Directions for regulating the course and conduct of public wor ship, the administration of the Sacraments, and other services contained in the Book of Common Prayer according to the use of the United Church of England and Ireland, and more especially with reference to the ornaments used in the churches and chapels of the said United Church and the vest ments worn by the ministers thereof at the time of their ministration'—and that ' it is expedient that a full and impartial inquiry should be made into the matters aforesaid with the view of explaining or amending the said Rubrics, Orders, and Direc tions, so as to secure general uniformity of practice in such matters as may be deemed essential'--and enjoining your Commissioners to make diligent inquiry into all and every the matters aforesaid, and to report thereupon from time to time es to' them, or any ten or more of them, may appear to be most expe:.lient, having regard not only to the said Rubrics, Orders, and Directions contained in the said Book of Common Prayer, but also to any other laws or customs relating to the matters afore said, with power to suggest any alterations, im provements, or amendments with respect to such matters, or any of them, as' they, 'or any ten or more of them, ' may think fit to recommend.' "'We, your Majesty's Commissioners, have, in accordance with the terms of your Majesty's Com mission, directed our first attention to the question of the vestments worn by the ministers of the said United Church at the time of their ministration, and especially to those the use of which has been lately introduced into certain churches. " We find that while these vestments aro re garded by some witnesses as symboli.cal of doctrine, and by others as a distinctive vesture whereby they desire to do honour to the Holy Communion as the highest act of Christian worship, they are by none regarded rs essential, and they give wave offence to many. "'We are of opinion that it is expedient to re strain in the public services of the United Church of England and Ireland all variations in respect of vesture from that which has long been the esta blished usage of the said United Church, and we think that this may be best secured by providing parishioners with an easy and effectual process for complaint and redress. " We Pro not yet prepared to recommend to your Majesty the best mode of giving effect to these con clusions, with a view at once to secure the objects proposed and to promote the peace of the Church; but we have thought it our duty in a matter to which great interest is attached not to delay the communication to your Majesty of the results at which we have already arrived. " We have placed in the Appendix the evidence of the witnesses examined before 114, the documents referred to in the evidence or produced before the Commi , ,sioners, the cases laid before us, which were submitted to eminent counsel on either side of the question, together with the opinions thereupon ; also the report on the subject made by the com mittee of the Lower House of the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury, and the resolutions passed by the Upper as wet as the Lower House of that Convocation, and the resolutions passed by the ConvocAtion of the Province of York. "All which we humbly beg leave to submit to your Majesty. 19th August, 1867." A SHOWER OF FROGS !—Punch will be plersed to learn that, according to the Press of Vienna, what is called a shower of frogs fell in that city a few days back. After a stormy evening and an extraordinarily warm rain the borders of the canal were found, early the following morning, to le covered with thousands of young frogs of the same sizo and euleur -in some places they were in heaps.

SHERIFF' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) UMBRELLAS ON BOARD STEAMBOATS.-IMPORTANT TO TIIE PUBLIC.-J 0 ES V. TIIE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. This was an action to recover the value of an umbrella, lost on board one of the company's ves sels on the passage from London to Aberdeen. Plaintiff stated that his wife was a passenger on board one of the steamers, and she had as part of her luggage a tin box and an umbrella. Round the box there were straps, and plaintiff's wifo had pushed the umbrella throu g h these straps, subsequently leav ing it. When she was going off the vessel she found the tin box, but the umbrella had been taken away. A gentleman, who al;pcared for the company, produced a ticket, which set forth that the com pany would not be answerable for any luggage placed on board their vessels. his honour said that in face of the ticket pro duced plaintiff could not recover. If he had desired to make the company liable he should have paid them to take care of his property, and as he had not done so he must be nonsuited. Plaintiff nonsuited. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-TIIIS DAY. (Before Mr. Sergeant Dowling.) A young man named Ratton was indicted for stealing lead from the roof of a house. The evidence was clear as to the robbery, and with respect to the prisoner being the person who committed it the witnesses for the prosecution were quite satitied. On the prisoner's behalf his mother and another witness were called to prove an alibi. The jury found a verdict of guilty. There was a second indictment against the pri soner for stealing lead off the roof of the Islington Literary Institute, and the learned judge suggested that that indictment had better be tried. The evidence in this case also appeared clear and positive as to the prisoner being the person seen on the roof of the institute on the morning of the 12th of July, the day on which the lead was stolen. Mr. Ribton, at the close of the case for the pro secution, was addressing the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and was making some strong remarks upon the verdict given in the last case, taken in connec tion with the evidence he had called to prove an alibi, when The Foreman of the Jury rose and said—My lord, the jury really feel insulted by the remarks of the learned counsel ; he has no right to say they have given a wrong verdict. Mr. Sergeant Dowling—l also think that remarks of such a nature should not be passed upon twelve gentlemen who attend that court unpaid to perform a public and important duty. The Foreman—With respect to the remark of the learned counsel I have to say that the present jury is composed of twelve gentlemen not inferior in station, and very little, if at all, inferior in in ' tellect to himself. Mr. Ribton—l think I must now appeal to the court for— The Foreman—We are here for the performance of a public duty of a serious nature, and it is not the right of the learned gentleman to lecture us, and to say that we have not returned a right verdict. Mr. Ribton--I never intended to say anything offensive to the jury, and if you have misappre hended me I cannot help that. If what I have said is not flattering or complimentary to you, I can't help that. I have no object or interest in this case except to see that my client has a fair and impartial trial. I don't see that I transgress the fair license of counsel in commenting upon the ver dict which has been returned in the former case. How can I aslc you now to acqui the prisoner after the expression of feeling I have witnessed from that box. I, however, have to say that I never made the comparison of intellect or station that had emanated from the jury box. I make my observations with coolness ; but perhaps some of the jury think I am insulting them now ? A Juror —Yes. Mr. Ribton—lt don't matter to me what verdict you give, but I will say that if a wrong verdict was given in a civil case at nisi Arius, it was possible to get a new trial by an appeal to the judges in full court; and did juries ever feel that they were insulted or imagined, that they had committed, per jury when a new trial was granted? I therefore have a perfect right to question the last verdict. The mother of the prisoner, whose evidence had altogether been disregarded, might be in a humbler sphere than many of the jury, but that was no reason why she was to be looked upon as a perjurer. The Foreman—Will your honour ask the learned counsel to confine himself to the facts of the case. Mr. Ribton—l think I ought now to ask for the interposition of the court, but I will say that I don't see why the evidence of three respectable people is to be altogether disregarded.

I for one protest against the man , ner in which convictions are sometimes obtained, and I therefore set my face against the practice. I say again it is too much to pass by the evidence given on behalf of the prisoner, and that the jury by their verdict should at one and the same time declare the prisoner guilty of the theft and the mother of perjury. Were there no instances on record of mistaken id ent i ty, and might not th i s b e one of them ? I have no object to serve incon sistent with strict ju s ti ce.

OAKS COLLIEPX.—Great iliterest is begin_ Lin g to be felt respoeting the reopening of this mine, and tinually N the neighbourhood of th o co lli ery, anxious numbers of people interested in the pr ocee di ng are eon to glean authentic information as to when the excavators will take the pit. At noon en Tuesday it was stated that no spoil had been raised since Monday morning. The arch at the bottom of the shaft, Which had been reached, extends nearly 100 yards in length, and from this the main levels and reach'igs branch off. The height of the arch is 80 feet. It is not at present intended to raise, but to make a temporary road from the top, an d penetrating the arch by an i nc li ne . This temporary roadway is to be mad e secure for present purposes, and having fairly tapped the mine the various roadways are to ho sealed up before any search is to be made in the workings, so that those in charge will have perfect control of the mine. Mr. James Beaumont, who superintends the operation, and Mr. Nicholas descended the shaft on Tuesday, and on their return reported that all was going ou satigactotny but POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day, GUILDHALL. HARD SWEARisa.—George Baxter, a tailor, was charge d before Alderman Challis with assault end damaging pr o perty. Catheriue Downing, the prosecutrix, said that she k apt a cook shop at 15, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, and prisoner was a lodger in the same house. On Saturday nil :ht, shortly after 11 o'clock, her servant knocked at the do ,or. The prisoner said she should not be admitted, and wl ten she opened the door to let the servant iu, the priso ner commenced abusing her, usiug the most disgusting lan guage. He put up his hand to her face, and then jammed her arm between the door and the post. This evidence was corroborated by two witnesses. • The prisoner gave a totally different version of what : I occurred, and stated that the witness threw dirty water over him, and that Miss Downing abused him and his wife in the grossest manner. Ho called a tailor, who was staying in the house on Sa turday night, and his daughter, who swore most positively that the statement of Miss Downing was totally unfounded, and that the language she used was most insulting. The magistrate fined the defendant 108 for damage, and 20s for the assault. 31 ARLI3OROUGII-S TREET. ROBBERY AND REMORSE. SINGULAR CASE. - Ann liParlano, a well-dressed young woman, described as a servant., was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a gold watch, chain, and locket, of the value of £B, the property of Mrs. Hannah Burden, lodging-house keeper, No. 9, Farm-street, Berkeley-square. The prosocutrix stated that the prisoner came to live in her houso three weeks ago, and on Tuesday morning went to look for a situation. About four o'clock the same after noon the prisoner returned home and went up stairs, and afterwards left the house, and she (prosecutrix) then missed her watch, chain, and locket, of the value of £B. Subsequently the police were communicated with, and on the prisoner being taken into custody she said she had pledged the property. The prisoner here burst into tears, and her feelings so overcame her that she was obliged to be led to a seat. Police-constable Alfred Burrows, 159 A, said that about one o'clock that morning he was in Grosvenor-square, when the prisOner passed him twice, each time slackening her pace, Thinking the prisoner's conduct rather strange he asked her what she was about, and sho then asked him if he had heard anything of a young woman having stolen a watch. lie told her that he had, and asked her if she had stolen anything, and sho then said that she had stolen a watch where she had been residing, and pledged it in Duke-street, at the same time handing him the duplicate relating to the watch. While at the station the prisoner told him that she had been in prison at Liverpool. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner for a week, when the pawnbroker could attend, and in the meantime it could be ascertained by the police whether the prisoner had been convicted at Liverpool. THAMES: AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—George Murphy, a youth appre hended this morning, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being concerned with a man named Kicks in stealing a till containing 10s. from tho shop of Mr. Taylor, harness maker, in High-street, Shadwell. Kicks, who is a notorious thief, and against whom a previous conviction was proved, was committed for trial yesterday by Mr. Benson. Mr. Charles Stroud, a carman who was formerly in the police force, stated that ho was seated at his own door, No. 23, Albert-street, Shadu ell, at 9 o'clock in the even ing of the 20th inst., when he saw the prisoner and Kicks passing along the street. Kicks had a large till under his arm, and ho said to Murphy, "Kop," which was a slang word for take it. Murphy took the cap from his head, held it, and Kicks emptied the contents of the till into it., and then threw the till on the ground. A portion of the money also fell on the ground. The two men ran away in different directions. He pur sued Kicks, who pulled off his coat, throw it on the ground, and then put his hands in his pockets and retraced his steps. He collared Kicks, who assumed great astonishment, and said, "What do you want with me ?" The prisoner Murphy escaped. • Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said that Mr. Benson remanded Kicks for a week, and the prisoner Murphy not being forthcoming Kicks was committed for trial. The till was identified by Mr. Taylor, who said it was stolen from his shop about 9 o'clock on the evening of the 20th. There was 10s. or more in the till when it was taken from the shop. The prisoner said that the witness Stroud was mistaken. Ile was not iu Shadwell on the night of the 20th of the present month. He was laid up with diarrhea', and in bed at the time. Police-sergeant Smith, No. 47 K, stated that the pri soner was picked out by Stroud in the station-house from eight others. Mr. Paget said he should remand the prisoner until Mr. Benson would again preside, and if the prisoner had any witnesses to prove an alibi he could then call them. WE 3TM LNSTER. DISGRACEFUL ASSAULT. —T halms O.tllicot, a brick layer's labourer, of herculean frame, was brought up on a warrant, charged with the following outrageous assaults : Richard Stannett, a porter' at the South. Kensington Museum, said—l live at 78, Loader-street, and the pri soner lodged with me. 1 gave him warning to leave on the 24th, that was on the 17th. On the 2d my wife went for some beer, and as she was coming back with it ho took the jug from her and drank some. She asked him for her jug, when he knocked her down. I wont to her assistance, when he boat me and kicked me about the legs. He swore he would kick my inside out. Ho puched mo with his knee violently on the body. After this he attacked me again. My wife and I were sitting togetlier when he came up and burst the door open, and threw me down, and my wife called for assistance, and I was got away from him. Louisa Stannett, prosecutor's wife, said that prisoner, finding ho had notice to quit, declared he would have a row. Ho took the pot away from her and drank the beer. Then he knocked her down in tho street, and afterwards also assaulted her by knocking her down again when he broke into the room. Prisoner said the husband struck him first. He then went into a long story respecting his wife, which really appeared to have nothing whatever to do with the case. Prisoner was committed for six weeks to hard labour in the House of Correction, and ordered to find bail. MARKS TS. --This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

THE "FREE TRADE SYSTE3I" OF LICENSES.— 'What is called tho free trade system of licenses has been again piactically upset in Liverpool. On Tuesday, when theliconsing session commenced, there were 91 applications for new licenses. Ten were granted, and of those three wore for and in lieu of old licenses, the houses having been pulled down. The ether seven were for restaurants to be closed at seven at night and shut on Sunday. Yesterday the magistrates did not grant a single license. INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—WhiIe removing one of the Surrey piers preparatory to the construction of the new .Blackfriars-bridge, two founda lion stones of black slate were discovered by the workmen. One of them is evi dently a stone that was laid with all pomp and ceremonial, while the other and smaller one f )und near it was as evi dently stowed away on the same day, but prior to the cere monial, by some master workman, who took this advantage of his opportunity to hand down his name to posterity. The clear cut inscription on the first says :—" On the 23d day of June, 1761, in the first year of the reign of King George 111., the first stone of this the first pier was laid by Sir Robert Ladbroke, Knt., and president of the Honourable Committee for carrying this bridge into execution. Robert Ifylne, architect ; Joseph Dixon, mason." The second stone says :—" On the 23d dry of June, 1761, in the first year of the reign of King George 111., the first stone of this pier was laid by Joe& Diu'', master mason to this bridge." 0.4 k ,, 11R. READ, M.P., ON 7HE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Read, M.P. for East Norfolk, known in the eastern district as the tenant-farmer member, has begun to mix among his constituents for the season. At Messrs. Salter's sale of long-woolled shearling rams, Mr. Read said when he first entered Parlia ment what struck him more than anything else was the large number of men it contained who. had risen from comparatively humble origin, and who, by their ability and business talents, hail acquired great xichcs, and had afterwards secured a seat in the , imperial Parlia men t. B u t w h en h e went i nto the I Rouse of Commons h e cons id ere d hi mse lf th e most 1 wonderful man in it, becau33 there was no other in stance in which a man without birth, without sta tion, without riches, and without learning, had been promoted to the high rank nal dignity of a knight of the shire. The labour which was expected from • a member of Parliam?nt really exceeded, however, all the weight and dignity which might accrue to him. Daring three or four months of the past Session he had given an average weekly attendance in the House of Commons of 50 hoUrs. He had been on no . less than eight committees, indepen - dently of ten or a dozen Irish railways which came under consideration ; and when a man went into the House at 12 o'clock in the daytime, and sat there not for one day or for one night, but week after week, until 12 or 1 in the morning, he need not say that certainly entailed an immense amount of work and anxiety. So much was be impressed with this that he would just paraphrase the first two lines Of-an old song, and say-- "Ye gentlemen of Norfolk, wholly° at home at ease, Ye little know, I'm very sure, the labours of M.P.'s. Mr. Howes, M.P., also addressed the meeting, showing it gave him no fear, but, on the contrary, very great pleasure, to think that the number of his constituents would be increased.

THE PRINTERS' ALMSIIOUSES.—A special effort is being made to increr - le the vlefulness of th's charity, whereby an asylum is proN :tied for the working printer and his widow in their declining years. Ever since the foundation of the Printers' Almshouses at Wood Green, the nec3ssity for their establishment has been painful'y demon strated by the want of additional accommodation, and the evil to 1:3 baffled with has steadily outrun the means that could be collected to coniend with it. The council have effected a union of the Almshouse Fund with the Pl:nters' Pension Corporation. With the view of inaugurating t.Ws amalgamation of the two funds, an endeavour is now being made to collect a sum sufficient for the purpose of erecting a wing to the p . .e:.!ent building, to be ca'leci the "Celebra tion Whig." Contributions aro solicited from all who are iutorested in literature. In order to commence the sub scription, Mr. W. 11. Collingridge, prop - tietor el the Citb Press, has presented 100 guineas, on the condition that 900 more b 3 rinsed to complete the sum requ;red. Subscrip tions will be thank7ully received for this special object by the collector, Mr. C. Pope, 11, Derby-street, Argyle square, W.C.

During the past fortnight the town of Budleigh Salterton has been in an excited state in consequence of the invasion of a supposed right to carry away wrecked coal from the beach. In July the Ranger, a Newcastle vessel, hden with coals, was wrecked off the coast, and on the 15th inst., after a heavy ground swell and tide, over 20 tons of coal was depsited on the beach. Many of the people at once set about pick'ng it up in bags, baskets, and wheelbarrows to take home, but were forbidden to do so by the coastguard, and warned of the conse quences. -A great deal of altercation ensued, and angry feeling expressed. Two or three men were taken into custody for resisting, and on being bailed out the cases were allowed to stand over to the Woodbury petty sersions, when there were on the bench Mr. J. Wood, Mr. F. Blandy, and Sir Chas. Stewart. Mr. E. H. Clarke appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Board of Trade, and Mr. Friend defended the accused. William Pratt, Richard Teed, E. Cowd, and Inac Cowd, and J. Alford were summoned for removing wrecked property from the Budleigh Sal terton beach on the 15th inst. Mr. Joseph Taylor, chief officer of the coastguard at Budleigh Salterton, stated that the vessel Ranger was stranded in July last near the coast of that place. He saw Pratt on August 15 with some coal that he had collected on the beach. Witness told him to take the coal to Mr_ Webber's yard, and defendant said he should take it home. Witness then said, "If you do you will be under the penalty of £100." Witness said he should seize the barrow in the name of the right ful owners, or the Board of Trade. Some people then assisted Pratt to take the barrow of coal away. There was a quantity of wrecked coal on the beach. He could identify the coal by its being rounded off at the edges through being rubbed about in the water. He explained to many people that they had no right to take away the coal, and the Act of Parliament was hung up at the flagstaff at the sant.; time. The coal was washed up that morn ing. He had seen the beach on several previous days, but saw no coal. Many parties had coal in their possession, but refused to give it up. By Mr. Friend—lt was wrecked coal, but he could not swear it was out of the Ranger. Saw five houses cleared of wrecked coal, which was afterwards de posited in lfr. Webber's yard. In Teed's house all was wrecked coal ; in Edwin Cowd's about a quarter not wrecked. Had known Budleigh for sic years, but could not say what amount of coal was landed every year. 'There might be 1,500 tons or 3,000. When coal was landed the vessels had to He off 80() or 900 yards, and the coal was brought ashore in lighters. The loss of coal occurred in emptying it from the lighters into the carts on the shore. About the spot where the Ranger went down coal was occasionally unloaded. Had never claimed wrecked coal at Budleigh before. IVotod swear that the coal produced was wrecked coal. Friend— What, when I tell you that I shall call evidence to prove that a considerable quantity of coal from time to time fs wasted in unloading on this very spot? How can you teP. whether this coal is from a wreck or merely some of that which has dropped when un loaded ? A coastguard officer named W. Vincent said he saw the defendants t•tke away the same coal on August 15 from the beach. Alford and Pratt picked up the coal and took it away in barrows. Witness told them they had no right to remove the coal, but ought to take it to the watch-house or to Mr. Webber's yard. By Mr. Friend—Coal dropped over in unloading might wash up, but if it did it was soon picked up. Thomas Chown, a coast guardmau, said he saw Pratt and Alford remove coal from the beach on the day in question. John Purchase, a coastguardman, also deposed to seeing Alford and Isaac Cowd remove coal from the beach near the river Otter. Henry Featherstone deposed to seeing Edwin Cowd remove coal. After hearing Mr. Clarke and Mr. Friend, the magistrates fined each of the defendants is. and costs. Walter Gilley, John Trayhearne, and John Ford were then summoned for preventing and im peding the coastguardmen in their duty to secure the wrecked coal. Gilley and Trayhearne pleaded guilty, and were each fined is. and costs, and Ford, who laid his hands on the officer, wrs fined ss. and costs 275. 6d. Matthew Davie, a coastguardman, was summoned for refusing to give up some wreck in his possession. Captain Phillips stated that the case was only brought forward upon public ground; to show the people of the town that one person had no more i;glit to take away things from the beach than another. Some coal was found in the defendant's house, but "it appeared that Mr. Webber, the re ceiver of wreck, had given it to defendant's son as salvage some time before. No further evidence was offered, and the case was dismissed. THE NEW TE3IPORARY THOROUGHFARE FROM ST. JOHN-STREET TO SMITHFIELD.—By the diver sion of St. John-street into Smithfield via Long-lane, a space of ground upwards of ono hundred feet in width at its broadest end to about twenty feet at the confluence of St. John-street with Cow-cross, and two hundred and eighty feet in length, will be thrown into the public way, forming a spacious temporary roadway for the general traffic until the new thoroughfare through the meat and poultry market is finished. Messrs. Mowlein and Co. have nearly completed their portion of tho paving contract, and bult up the pavement to the future love), the remainder having to be completed by the Holborn Board of Work; the men in whose employ are now engaged i❑ raising the footways on the opposite side, and altering the cellar open ings to the requisite lovel. TIIE WOLVERTON MURDER.—It seems to have been expected that Britten would be executed on Tuesday, and great numbers of people collected about the gaol on Monday night and early on Tuesday morning. As soon as the Shire-hall grounds were thrown open, the crowds rushed in to secure good places. They were, however, disappointed ; the anticipated " sight" was not afforded them: Mr. Secretary Hardy has intimated that he can see no sufficient ground to justify him in advising her Majesty to interfere with the duo course of the law in this case, and so Britten will yet b;t hanged, although the day of execution has not been male known. Ricciotti Garibaldi, the son of the General, is now in England. The exact purport of his visit is not known ; but the surmise is that it has something to do with the Roman question—pi obably its financial require ments.

We glean the following facts from an interesting work entitled, " Etude Medicale et Statistique eur la Mortalite a Paris, a Londrrs, a Vienne, et a New York, en 1865," by Dr. Vacher. In 1865 tho population of Paris was calculated at 1,863,000 ; of London, at 3,028,000 ; of Vienna, at 560,000 ; of New York, a year earlier, at 1,025,000. The annual ratio of increase per inhabitant, was in Paris, 0.02 ; in other words 100 inhabitants be came 102 in the course of the year ; in Lon don, 0.017 ; at Vienna, 0.016 ; and at New York, 0.05. The average number of inhabitants in a single house is, for Paris, 27, London 7, Vienna 51, and New York 14 ; so that Vienna is the most densely peopled town of the four. From these data it appears that the increase of population at New York is equal to that of the three other towns taken together—a circumstance owing, of course, to the stream of emigration constantly flowing in that direction. In 1790 the population of New York was 33,134, and it has since been fully four times doubled. With regard to the other towns, Doctor Vacher attributes their increase to the tendency of the country people to migrate to the large centres of population, for the mere excess of births over deaths cannot account for this increase. Paris has doubled in the course of 32 years ; London in the course of 40, and Vienna in the course of 44. Yet the excess of births over deaths in Paris was only 41,934 from 1836 to 1856, while the increase of population during the same period was 305,908. In London, from 1841 to 1861, the excess of births over deaths was 328,189, the increase of population on the contrary was 926,026. We cannot follow Dr. Vacher any further, but we may safely recom mend his work to the political economist as one of great research and much sound reasoning. SHIPPING INTELLIGENGE.—Th's Day.
