XARKET AND - l OMMEROIAL YNTF;T_ TWELVE O'OLOOK. The Discount Market to-day is very quiet, and the rates show no alteration. The following gold ships are now on their voyage from Melbourne to England :—The Kent, with 39,526 ozs. ; the Ilolmesdale, 16,421 OZ3. ; the Yoko hama, 24,616 ozs. ; and the Superb, 40,000 ozs. ; the whole representing £569,261. The Damascus, the Sattara, and the Orwell have also sailed from Sydney with a total of 6,617 ozs., or £26,468. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. Durin g the last few days there has been very little animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colo nial P ro d uce Markets. Sugar, however, has in most instances maintained previous rates. Coffee con tinues r.t steady prices, while only a limited business has been transacted in rice, at barely previous rates. Tallow has been neglected, and quotations for pre sent and future delivery show a downward ten dency. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures r emain steady at 32 34, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 21 22. The reports from Cornwall and Devon arc most unfavourable to the mining interest. The miners, always a badly remunerated class, are now utterly without wages, and are thrown upon their parishes all over the county of Cornwall and in that portion of Devon where they used to be employed. In the Redriith and Camburn districts the greatest amount °I suffering is to be found, as those are the regions where mines are more thickly clustered. Within a fey months, 50 mines have stopped working. There are 100 mines now being wound up in the two great mining counties. The low prices of tin and copper are generally considered the causes of this state of thing; but the most formidable cause is that the mines in that part of England have be come too deep in the working to be economically and remuneratingly conducted. In 1848 the prices of tin and copper were lower than now, yet there was no such sweeping distress in the west. Mines and miners were then much fewer, ani prices soon rose as the panic subsided. Of late many exhausted mines (exhausted for practical and Paying purposes) were worked, or attempted to be worked, companies having been got up for that pur pose. Ore of course was obtained, but at an ex- Pense which ruined the companies. Our mining adventurers must be in quest of discoveries nearer the surface, or in testing lodes which have not been proved in well -ascertained metalliferous districts. The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received the following advices from their resident director, Mr. Bland, d ated Clunes, 26th March, 1867 :—Four weeks' returns for February—Quantity of quartz crushed, 4 ,487 tons ; gold obtained, 1,252 ounces ; yield per to m, 5 dwts. 14 grs. ; receipts, £4,858 13s. Bd. ; payments, £5,355 ss. 9d. ; excess of expenditure , uv er receipts, £491 12 s . ld . M r. Bl an d wr i tes liereun as follows :—" The above account shows a deficiency of near £5OO as the result of the month's Wo rk ; but the board will observe that the excess of expenditure over receipts is caused by the large outlay for firewood for the year's supply, a nd the rem i ttances to England for stores that ha ve „l not y e t arr i ve d . Th ese t wo it ems de ducted would leave a profit of about £7OO for the 41°11 th• This is always a difficult time of year in r espect to finances, on account of laying in the winter stock of firewood and mine timber, and this P e ar 3 the difficulty has unfortunately been increased y a diminution in the yield of the quarti.

The current month will include, as usual in March, six weeks' retu rn. This is a considerable improvement ulr er late re t urns, an d I am i n grea t h opes we may b e able to keep it up. Should the current fortnight yield as well as the average of the last four weeks, a will place us in a very good financial position al n• Our h eav i es t expenses w ill term i nate th i s month ; all the winter's stock of fir ewoo d at the Redu ction Works has been delivered, and will be paid for before the end of the month, and Ido not anticipate any unusual expense at the mine." 2 r n e T he directors of th e En g lish and Au s t ra li an C o p per Pany (Limited) have received advices from their -lau ager, dated Port Adelaide, March 29. The r a ntitY of coal at Kooringa was 1,697 t ons , a t apunda 681 tons, and at Port Adelaide 2,146 tons. ;%.t th e B ourn Works coal continued to be stocked or the winter. At the port all the furnaces were at Work, with the exception of one refining, which waa out for repairs. Two o'CLocx.

In these cases which were cross suits, the parties were the same, and the facts to be adduced in both cases were stated by counsel to be identical. Ills Lordship said that under the circumstances, and with a view to save public time, he thought it desirable that both cases should be heard together. Mr. Ribton, who was counsel for the plaintiff in the first action, and defendant in the second, and Sergeant Parry, who represented the other party, acceded to the suggestion of the Court. The first action was brought by the plaintiff, who is a livery stable-keeper, in Marlborough row, to recover a guinea for the hire of a horse, and for the injuries which it had sustained through the neglect or awkwardness of Mr. Bale. The de fendant, who is assistant to a mercer in Regent street, had hired the horse for the purpose of going to Croydon races, and, according to the evidence for the plaintiff, while riding the horse in a canter along the New Cross road, endeavoured to pass one of Pickford's vans, which was in the centre of the road, and went at the wrong side. It appeared, however, that he changed his intention and turned the horse quickly, by which it came violently into contact with the iron-cased tail-board of the van, and Mr. Bale was thrown off. The injuries to the horse were so severe that his value became so seriously diminished that he could not dispose of it at anything like its original value. The horse was a very quiet animal, and any person, accordi ng t o th e p l a i nt iff' s asser tviiodne,dehoeulkdnhewavehorwiddteon with m it anagea perfect safety, pro- The defendant, Mr. Bale, brought his action to recover damages for injuries he had sustained by being thrown from the horse, which he described as being very unmanageable, and having shied on the He said that he was occasion in questi on . ac customed to horse riding, and that he was in no way to blame for what had occurred. The parties entered into an arrangement, and a juror was withdrawn, which closed a case that pro mised to have occupied the court all the day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) UNDERWOOD V. SILCOCK. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an alleged breach of contract. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Henry James for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff and a man named Elver that the latter had been in trusted by plaintiff to find a publichouse for him, of which he should be the manager, and it should be carried on in his name, plaintiff, however, finding the capital, and Ewer, as he expressed it, " the ability." This was in February lase, and about that time the defendant, Silcock, who was the landlord of " The Prince of Wales," wished to dis pose of his house. He put himself into commu nication with Mr. Motion, who is the transfer agent of Messrs. Curtis, the distillers, who had a mort gage of £350 on the house. This gentleman saw Ewer, who came to terms about the matter; and Messrs. Knight, the brokers of plaintiff, handed over a cheque as a deposit. Plaintiff and Ewer subsequently went to Messrs. Curtis's and saw one of the partners, and asked him to permit them the loan of £350 ; but he declined, and the transfer did not take place, and this action was brought to recover compensation in consequence. It was stated that the whole of the licenses were to be in Ewer's name. The case was proceeding when we went to press.

On Saturday night, Fletcher 'having ascertained whore hie wife was, called, and was shown into the kitchen by the landlady, who had scarcely returned to the bar before she heard the reports of two pistol shots, one suc ceeding the other rapidly. She and the other inmates of the house hastened to the kitchen. They saw the man lying on the floor, with a stream of blood issuing from a great wound in his breast. In one hand he held a pistol and had evidently thrown away another which was seen on the floor at a little distance from him. Nut far from him his wife lay, also on the floor, and her clothes were satu rated with blood. She exclaimed, "Oh ! Harry, Harry, how could you b e so crue l ?" Medical aid was at once ob tained, but the man appears to have died instantaneously, and the woman o n ly li ve d for about half an hour. His clothes were searched, and iu his pockets were found seve ral large bullets, which fitted the horse pistols which he had fired, a tin canister containing percussion caps, a quan tity of gunpowder, his marriage certificate, and money to the amount of about 258. The discovery of a valuable deposit of galena or lead ore in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, near the town of Woodborry, is reported.

POLICE INTELLIGEbTCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. ADVERTISING ATTORNIES.—An elderly man, Of somewhat careworn aspect, applied to Mr. Flowers for a warrant against a solicitor for obtaining money by false pretences. It appeared that it was in consequence of an advertisement in a newspaper that the applicant had consulted the attorney in question, who had undertaken to conduct certain professional business, for which applicant had paid him, but which he had not performed. It was pretty clear, the applicant contended, that there had never been any intention of doing the work, from several circumstances which he mentioned, one of which was that the solicitor had since "ab sconded" from his place of business. Mr. Flowers asked what would be the use of his issuing a warrant if no one knew where the defen dant was to be found ? The ApplicantWe might serve him if we could drop on him. Mr. Flowers was afraid, however, that no charge of false pretence could be sustained. It appeared to him that this was simply a case of breach of contract for_ which no criminal charge could be maintained, Ho could not but wonder that people would employ attornies who advertised in the news papers. That was a practice to which respectable solicitors did not resort, and those who did so ought to be regarded with suspicion from that very fact, like the advertising quack doctors. Of course there were dishonest persons amongst attornies as well as in other professions, and surely it was not likely that if a solicitor was a swindler, he, having the skill and knowledge to comply with or evade the law, would allow himself to be entangled in its meshes by committing an offence for which he could be criminally prosecuted. He (Mr. Flowers) would not say that there might not be some means of obtaining redress, and perhaps the applicant would do well to consult a respectable solicitor, but cer tainly he had no remedy in this court. The applicant could not understand how such conduct could be otherwise than criminal. It seemed to him to be as bad as robbing a man of his purse upon the high road. Mr. Flowers—Then I must say one thing which I fear may not be agreeable to you. A man cannot help going upon the high road to any place where his business calls him ; and if he is robbed on the high road, that may not be his own fault. But no necessity compels a man to employ an ad vertising attorney, and if he does so and gets robbed he has himself to blame. The Applicant—l think the highroad is much the safer place. Mr: Flowers—A robbery there is an offence which the criminal laws can reach, and this is not. The applicant left the court, determined to con sult a solicitor who did not advertise. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A " BETTING MAN" CHARGED WITH " RINGING THE CHANGES."—John Hurley alias Henley, de scribing himself as a betting man, was charged with stealing at the York Minster public-house, Wardour-street, 18s. Bd., the moneys of Mr. Wm. Rowlands, the landlord. Mrs. Mary Rowlands, wife of the prosecutor, said that on Friday evening, the prisoner and another man came into her house and called for some liquor. The prisoner's companion threw down a sovereign to pay for it, upon which the prisoner told her not to take for it out of the sovereign, and threw down some halfpence, but not enough. The prisoner's companion, who had taken up the sove reign, again threw it down, and the prisoner told her not to change it. The prisoner and his coin panion baffled her a, good deal, and at last it was agreed the sovereign should be changed, and the prisoner's companion dropped into her hand what she thought was a sovereign, and the gave him 18s. Bd. change, and they left, and directly after they had gone she found that the coin dropped into her hand was a shilling. She sent her young man out to see whether he could see anything of them, but he did not succeed in doing so, and she then spoke to Sergeant Cole. In answer to Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marl borouah-street, who appeared fnr the prisoner, Mrs. Rowlands said she saw no .more of the prisoner nit he was taken into custody. She was certain as to the prisoner's identity, although he wore at the time a different hat and coat. Sergeant Cole said that at half-past 9 on Friday evening last he saw the prisoner and two other men he knew in Wardour-street. The prisoner was then wearing a light coat and a deerstalker. He followed them about for sonic time, wanting them for another matter, but lost them, and he was after wards informed what had occurred at Mr Rowland's. Last night he saw the prisoner in the Australian Stores, Little Windmill-street, and said, " Jack, I want you for stealing 19s. from the York Minster, Wardour-street." He replied, " 19s. ; I never stole 19s. in my life." He told the prisoner that he would have to go to the station, and he repeated several times that be never stole 19s. in his life ; and on getting to the station he (Sergeant Cole) found that it was 183. Bd. the prisoner was charged with stealing. He afterwards got three persons and placed them with the prisoner, and im mediately Mrs. Rowlands saw him she picked him out, saying that she would know him from 100 others, and she had also described him accurately to him. He wished for a remand, as there would be numerous cases against the prisoner. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the pri soner's behalf, contending that the evidence against him was very weak, the only share in the transac tion taken by the prisoner being his preventing his companion changing the sovereign and then throw ing down some halfpence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought it a case for a £lO bail, but upon Sergeant Cole stating that the pri soner, who was well known to the police, would not appear to that bail, it was increased to two bail of £,20 each, Mr. Tyrwhitt stating that he would also require 24 hours' notice of bail. WESTMINSTER. A MODEL SERVANT.—Sarah Simmonds, a dimi nutive and demure-looking young woman, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. James Butcher, 346 B, proved finding the de fendant in the King's-road last night in the situa tion described. She had a bonnet in one hand and a purse in the other. She was fined ss. An aged gentleman stepped forward, and, in his haste to address the magistrate, took his place by mistake in the felon's dock. Released from this unenviable position, he said, "Now, pray excuse me, I am anxious to say something in favour of the young woman you have just had before you. She is the very pattern of propriety, the most innocent, industrious, respectable, quiet, abstemious person in the world. She is rny servant, and I know how deserv ing she is. She htd leave to go out yesterday, and like a good girl, as she is, went to see her poor mother, who is a pauper, maintained in St. James's work house ; and, as she came back, she had the mis fortune it seems to meet with some acquaintances, who induced her to drink, and it seems she got in toxicated. Well, I was sitting up with my sister whe❑ there was a knock at the door, and they cane to tell me of the circumstance. I thought you might possibly forgive her. Mr. Selfe--1 cau't do that ; it would be unjust to others. Gentlem in—l am very sorry for that. Mr. Sege—She is a very valuable servant, you say. Is she not worth ss. ? Gentleman—l don't know. Mr. Selfe—Not worth ss. to you ? Gentleman—" Well, yes, she is. Yes, she is worth 58. to me as a servant ; " saying which he paid the fine. THAMES. A VIOLENT LOVER.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— John Piper, a seaman, aged 40, was brought before Mr• Paget, charged with threatening to shoot Miss Jessy Woodroffe, a young lady about 21 years of age, and putting her in bodily fear. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the pro secution for Mr. and Mrs. Mills, the stepfather and mother of the complainant, who, he said, had been most shamefully persecuted by a violent and wrong headed man. The young lady was the daughter of Mrs. Mills, by her first husband, and a well-con ducted, intelligent young lady of good education and address. The prisoner was quite unknown to the family he had harassed. Four years ago the prisoner bought a pair of boots in the shop of Mr. Mills, who kept a large outfitting establish ment in the West India-road, Limehouse, and he then became enamoured of the charms of Miss Woodroffe, or pretende 1 to be so, and had ever since, at intervals, pestered her with his attentions, and dec'arcd himself violently in love with her. Ile had called at her residence at all hours, followed her over the streets when she was out, declared most unalterable love an 1 constancy towards her, an I said he would die if she did not marry hiir.. She had in vai❑ repeatedly told him to desist from his attentions ; her opposition only made him the more ardent in his professions of attachment to her per son. The prisoner had been at home for the last 18 months, and during the whole of that time he had become a nuisance and annoyance to Miss Woodroffe and to Mr. and Mrs. Mills. The prisoner had frequently remained in the street opposite the shop of Mr. and Mrs. Mills from eleven o'clock in the day until one and two the next morning, and occasionally going into the shop, and alternately making use of fond and endearing language, and declaring there was no happiness on earth without her, or threatening to shoot her if she did not marry him, or to shoot any one else she might marry. Mr. Mills' workpeople had fre quently removed the fellow, and officers of that court had remonstrated with him. His threats, violence, and bad language towards Miss Wood roffe had become so continuous and alarming that the young lady was obliged to take out a war rant. He should call a witness to prove that the prisoner was a married man and the father of one child, and his intentions must therefore be of a dishonourable character. Miss Jessy Woodroffe confirmed the statement of her solicitor, and said that twice last week the prisoner came into her step-father's warehouse and said he would shoot her if she did not marry him. He followed her through the streets and collected a mob about her. Mr. Partridge—Did you ever give him any en couragement to address you as . a lover ? Miss Woodroffe—Nong whatever, sir. His pre sence and language are very disagreeable. The prisoner, who spoke with a strong northern accent, said he dearly loved the young lady and the very ground she stood upon. He saw her for the first time four years ago, and her father said to him, " I wish you to be my son-in-law." The young lady had sent him letters declaring her affection for him. Miss Woodroffe—Never. Send letters to you, ndeed ! The prisoner then produced a letter, signed " Rosella Mills," in which the writer declared that " John Piper, her dear Piper," would alone make her happy. Miss Woodroffe was desired to look at the letter, and she said it was not in her handwriting. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner why he threatened to shoot the young lady. The Prisoner—To prevent her having anybody else. I know she loves me. She is always inquiring after me. If she will send me a letter stating she don't love me, I will give her up. I could have married a richfarmer's daughter but for her. Let them tell me by letter she will not have me, and I'll go clean away. Merritt and Walton, officers of the court, said they had removed the prisoner from the front of Mr. Mills' house, and expostulated with the prisoner by direction of Mr. Paget, and he said he would never give her up. Mrs. Rachel Mills, mother of the complainant, said the prisoner had called her daughter a bastard, and threatened to kill her. Her daughter had not given him the slightest encouragement. The Prisoner—Let her give me her handwriting, and I'd give up the chase ; not without. Mr. Charles Young asked the magistrate to call upon the prisoner to find sureties to keep the peace from the prisoner's annoyances. 'Pk,. ID T fa. he promised that. Mr. Partridge doubted whether the prisoner was in a sane state of mind, and told him the letter pro duced was a forgery, which the young lady, whose conduct was very proper and becoming, entirely re pudiated. The prisoner was labouring under some extraordinary delusion. The young lady and her family must be protected from these annoyances —a persecution it had been justly called. lie ordered the prisoner to find bail to be of good behaviour, and keep the peace towards her Majesty's subjects, and especially towards Miss Woodroffe, his own personal recognisance in £lOO and two sureties of £5O each, and remanded him until Saturday next. In the interval a surgeon would inquire into the state of the prisoner's mind. THE DREADFUL TRAGEDY AT BUCK UURST HILL. THE EVIDENCE OF MISS GRIPPS THIS DAY. WALTHAM ABBEY, Tuesday. At a quarter to 11 o'clock this forenoon the magistrates took their seats upon the bench; Mr. Dowes was chair man. Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, London, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the accused. Mr. Jessop, the clerk, read aloud the charge, which stated that Frederick Alexander Wahine had maliciously stabbed and wounded Matilda Grippe with a dagger in a field at Buckhurst-hill with intent to murder her. The first witness called was Matilda Gripps. She ap peared to be very weak, and she was accommodated with a seat. She was sworn, and Mr. Jessop then read over to her the depositions which she had previously made. He read it in the third person, and as ho stated the facts that she had deposed to, she answered "yes" in a very feeble tone of voice. The depositions stated that sho had met with the accused on the night of the 24th of April near her father's house, and that he invited her to take a walk, and that she consented. When in a field near Buckhurst-hill he charged her with speaking to other young men, and that she denied it. He then struck her on the head and then with a dagger on the breast. At that point she said, in a very faint voice, "And be hind the blade bone." The clerk then continued reading the depositions, and said that he stabbed her several times, and that she know not what happened. Clerk—Have you anything to add to the depositions that you have made ? Matilda gripps—Nothing. Mr. Abrams then said that he should like to puka few qKestions to her, and he asked her if she had not always been very affectionately treated by the prisoner ? Miss Gripps —He always treated me with the greatest affection and attention. I know that his father had an estate. I made the prisoner's acquaintance at his father's house. He never complained to me of pains in his head. He never told me that watchmaking gave him pains in the head. He did say that brickmaking agreed with him better than watchmaking. He said he had better health. I recollect his having his ears pierced, but I do not recol lect that he had it done on account of pains in his head. I walked out with him on Easter Monday. He told me that he had been to the stag-hunt. He did not tell me that he was uneasy in his mind. Ido not recollect that he told me that he could not sleep at night. 1 would not venture to swear that he did not. He came to my house on the Tuesday evening. Ido not think that he was in an excited state. He came at a quarter past eight o'clock. We left the house at, half-past eight o'clock. I did nut notice anything peculiar in his manner. I do not recollect his reply to me, " Matilda, I feel unhappy in my mind." He might have said so. 'At this stage of the examination the witness became quite overcome, and she closed her eyes, and lay back in the chair. Dr. Horne at once came to ker assistance. Mr. Abrams said that he would make the examination as short as possible. Miss Gripps was here assisted out of the count. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) A powder has been compounded by Mons. Hottin, of Paris, called after its inventor Hottina, designed to make linen fire-proof without impairing its whiteness. When mixed about equally with starch, a like quantity of gum is added. It is prepared by adding a little ammonia to a solution of phosphoric acid lime, and filtering with animal carbon, then evaporating until concentrated, when fire per cent. of gelatinous silicic acid is added and the whole evaporated to a crystal substance and pulverized. All inventions which tend to lessen danger from fire should have a fair trial. " Why are orphans the happiest children in the world ?" asked a little boy of his mother, who had been just chastising him. "They are not happy," said the mother ; " but why do you think they are ?" " Because they have no mothers to spank 'em." ,ITIES. 87i 6 91/ 21 li Chaige of Murder by a Soldier. On Saturday morning Peter Byrne, a private soldier in the 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles, who has been 11 years in the regiment, and who bears two good-conduct stripes on his arm, was brought up at the Guildhall, Winchester, before the Mayor and a full bench of magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of William Brown, of the same battalion (who had only joined on the first day of the present month) on Thursday night, in the barracks at Winchester. The prisoner is a fine looking man, and has an open, intelligent counte nance. The first witness called was in. Colley, who deposed that he is a private soldier in Winchester barracks, and at about five minutes to 10 on Thurs day night was in bed in No. 111 room. There were four other sciliers there besides the deceased. The deceased was sitting► on witness's bed-cot, when the prisoner came into the room and asked the d:yense.l if he could fight, to which he replied " No." The prisoner then locked the room door, and after taking off his belt and jacket went back to the cot to the deceased, and asked if he could fight, when deceased again replied " No,"and added, " You had better be quiet, or I will tell the colour-sergeant." The pri soner then struck the deceased with his fist under or on the left ear, and knocked him down upon wit ness. The blow was a violent one. The prisoner then turned off the gas. Witness lifted up the deceased, who said "I am dying." Sergeant Mar shall then came to the door, and it was opened to him, and the prisoner was reported. The deceased was taken to the guard-room, and thence to the military hospital. Witness saw the deceased at eleven o'clock the same night, when he was dead. He had not heard of any quarrel between the deceased and the prisoner. The prisoner did not appear to be drunk. Privates T. Cause and Henry Jones corroborated this witness. Sergeant Marshall deposed that at about five minutes past 10 o'clock on Thursday night he knocked at the door of No. 111 thou], and was admitted, when his attention was called to the de ceased by the witness Jones. He was lying on the floor between two cots. Witness took him to be drunk, and ordered him to be taken to the guard room, where he was put in a cell. Soon afterwards, in the guard-room, witness was told that the de ceased had been struck, and one of the guard said he was dead. Witness then felt him by the side of the neck, where it had been said he had been struck. The sergeant of the guard ordered deceased to be taken to the hospital, and witness went with him. This was about 20 minutes past 10. The prisoner was after wards ordered to be confined in a cell. He was then drunk--not fit for duty, yet capable of taking care of himself. Dr. Patterson, staff-surgeon of the depot battalion, deposed that he had made a post-mortem examination of the body, and that in his opinion the cause of death was extravasation of blood at the base of the brain and upper portion of the spine, and he did not believe that this could have resulted from natural causes. The Bench 'committed the prisoner to take his trial at the next 'Winchester Assizes for manslaughter. He also stands commit ted upon the coroner's inquisition on a similar charge.

THE MINIATURE BALTIMORE CLIPPER.—The miniature Baltimore-built clipper ship of two and a half tons burden , designed for a t r i p t o th e P ar i s E xpos iti on , we are informed, rapidly approaches completion, and is pronounced by those who have examined her as the beau ideal of a perfect model. She will be supplied with two large tanks, holding 150 gallons water each, a cabin for two persons, store room, &c., and will be of the " surf boat" model. Mr. James Weeden, sailmaker, has presented a handsome suit of colours to the vessel, which were to bo ready by May sth, when her crew of three would embark upon their daring cruise. Soundings are now being taken for the proposed submarine cable between Kurrachee and Bombay. Sir Samuel Baker writes to the Pall Mall Gazette in support of the proposed expedition to Africa to ascertain the fate of Livingstone. "There was a time," he says, "when an Englishman was respected in all countries, both savage and civilised, as a re presentative of a nation that watched over the safety and rights of every subject ; but at the present day this honourable pride of nationality appears to have passed away. Not only may an Englishman be missing, killed, or imprisoned, but an English Con sul, the representative not only of the country, but of our Government, may be kept in chains for years (as in Abyssinia), or murdered by a tribe in Africa, and there are Englishmen (vide 'Blanco') who would pass over the event without inquiry, and without redress, who would receive the native accounts of Livingstone's murder without demanding proofs, and who would reward the toil of a long life expended in hardships and the dangers of African research by ignoring the man who has won the honour of the civilised world, if not the protection of his own country. Blanco' may rest assured that the British lion will no longer inspire respect when his teeth are drawn and his claws are cut, and that Africa will be closed to Europeans should we allow English men, especially consuls, to be murdered or insulte with impunity. It is therefore the first duty of the country to inquire into the fate of Livingstone, whatever may be the cost or risk of the expedi tion. This has been already proposed by the Royal Geographical Society, and seconded by Lord Stan ley. Is it possible that the voice of an Englishman should be raised against the search ? I would sug gest that the man Moosa,' who was the eye-wit ness of Livingstone's murder, and if possible some of the Johanna men who brought the report of his death, should be compelled to ac:ompany the pro posed expedition, to point out the spot where the attack and reported murder took place." What the Overends, Gurneys, Wilkinsons, and many others have done for the reputation of Eng lish commerical credit may be gleaned from the following patagraph extracted from Frank Leslie : —"The characteristic of English financial manage ment is supposed to be stability. This, at least, is the opinion of all Englishmen, in comparing Lom bard-street with Wall-street ; but the recent dis closures of the rottenness of some of their leading banking an bill broking concerns, together with that of many of their leading railroads, show that, for insolent inflation and the obtaining of money and credit under false pretences, England takes the lead of the world. Yet still there is a solemness of respectability in beef-eating and crusty port which deceives many." ARTISANS' VISITS TO THE PARIS The Moniteur announces that the subscriptions to assist French workmen to visit and study the Paris Exhibition already exceed £4,000.
