Yesterday afternoon a great sensation was created in the neighbourhood of Stamford-street, Black friars, in consequence of loud screams for assistance being heard. In a very short space above 230 per sons were collected round the spot whence these sounds arose. It then appeared that two brothers coming down Stamford-street had quarrelled, and the eldest one, a lad about 16 years of age, had struck the younger, about ten, so violently that he had rolled into the road, and while lying there the wheel of a bansom cab, coming along at great speed, had passed over his neck. Seve ral women, as well as the female domestics of the surrounding houses, witnessed tho occurrence, and their screams brought the crowd abovemen tioned to the spot. Mr. Redding, a baker, in Broad wall, picked up the unfortunate child, and conveyed it to the surgery of Dr. Menzies. It was subse quently taken in a cab by the policeman on duty to Guy's Hospital. The unfortunate brother appeared petrified with horror, and was unable to answer any questions addressed to him; consequently, their name is unknown. MURDER IN .111 E OLD KENT ROAD. This morning another shocking tragedy occurred in the neghbourhood of the Old Kent-road. A foreigner named Bordier had fcr some time passed been living with a young woman named Snow, at Milstead-terrace, near Church-street, and early this morning the unfortunate woman rushed into the bedroom of one of the other persons living in the same house with blood streaming from her throat, exclaiming that Bordier had done it. She sank down from exhaustion and expired. The man was at once taken into custody, and on his examination before the magistrate at Lambeth Police Court be appeared to be labouring under a fit of insanity. lie did not deny the dreadful act, and further said he intended to have bad another victim and then to have killed himself. He was remanded in order that a full inquiry might take place before the coroner. A PRINTER'S 70AST. The following ingenious sentiment was given by Mr. Henry L. Williams at the third annual dinner of the Typothetx, February 20, 1866, at the Maison Doree. THE PRINTER—AN EPITOME OF MANY TRADES AND PROFESSIONS.--Like the Lawyer, ho practises at the bar, and handles capital as well as lower cases : like the Moralist, few have plainer' rules to guide him : like the Bravo, ho sticks daggers into many forms: like the Astrologer, he reads the stars : like the Jailer, ho is great on tacking up: like the Witch, he has dealings with the devil: like the Cheat, ho is versed in all the arts of imposition : like the Hunter, he knows all about the chase: like the Perjurer, he has a strong lye always ready : though his profes sion is not as old as Adam's, yet, like the Gardener, he must be able to manage a Ike, and, unlike the original gar dener, will never want clothes, with a Taylor in his office ; like the Soldier, he can handle a shooting- stick, arrange columns, and set up canon: like the Dandy, he is fond of a dash : like a King, lie has plenty of pages: like the Base ball Player, be catches on theft!' : like the Milliner, be keeps a stock of small caps, borders, and/towers : like the Jeweller, he can set pearl, ruby, agate, diamond : like the Housekeeper, he has a supply of furniture, beds, blankets, and sheets: ho never wants for music, with so many excellent harpers in the profession. Finally, like the Clergyman, he sees his most perfectforins, after ho has corrected all errors, carried off, and their beautiful faces covered with clay. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - llolloWily'S Pills.— Counsel and Cheer.—Many impurities enter the human body during the summer from the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter which often taints the air, and renders the water noxious. The grand quality displayed by these excellent pills of searching out, expelling all pernicious particles from the system, constitute them the best medicine for averting indigestion, bilious attacks, diarrhon and English cholera. Of all the various affections of the alimentary canal constantly recurring in a variable climate, Holloway's pills aro the best, cheapest, and safest remedy, since they can never act wrongly or be taken without benefit, if their accompanying directions receive only moderate attention and the diet be restricted to plain, wholesome, and diges tible food.

A CASE YOR A REFORMATORY. — Mary Ann Hughes, 14, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the sum of £1 2s. 6d., the moneys of her master, Mr. Maurice Jonas, army accoutrement maker, No. 54, Rupert-street. Mrs. Josephine Jonas, wife of the prosecutor, said that she had given the prisoner, who was in her service, notice to leave. She was to have left to-morrow, but she left on Monday morning clandestinely, and after she was gone £1 2s. Gd. was missed from a box containing about £lO, set apart to pay the workpeople. Sho communicated with the police, and on the prisoner being taken into custody she admitted stealing the money, and said she had spent it. She had charged the prisoner not so much for the sake of punishment as with the view of getting her into a reformatory. The parents of the girl, respectable-looking persons, having also expressed a wish that she should be sent to a reformatory, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for that purpose. A DRUNKEN DEFENDANT IN COURT.—Sarah Kelly, a dissipated character, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly, and also with using abusive language tow ards Ross Newton, a young woman, residing in Lancashire-court, Bond-street. The defendant appeared at the court yesterday afternoon to answer a summons for the abusive language, but she was in such an intoxicated state, and charged the complainant Newton in such a disgraceful manner, that Mr. Flowers, the sitting magistrate, ordered her to be detained. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking on the defendant's dis graceful conduct, ordered her to pay a fine of 20s. or 14 days. THAMES. A FOOLISH WAGER. —Thomas Nott, aged 21, a labourer, of No. 2, Coponhagon-terrace, Limehurst, was brought beforo Mr. Benson charged with attempting to commit suicide. Henry White, No. 367 IC, stated that last night he was called to the bank of the Regent's Canal, near the Salmon lano Bridge, and found the prisoner there with his clothes wet and dripping. lie was informed that the prisoner had jumped erff the bridso into the canal. A man saved him and pulled him out of the water. Mr. Benson - How deep is the water there ? Witness—About 9 feet ; and from the crown of the bridge to the water 11 foot The prisoner was intoxicated, and struggled violently. James Illingworth, of No. 151, Sidney-street, Stepney, said ho would tell his Worship how this occurred. - He and his friend, the prisoner, were seated on the parapet of the bridge. He told Nott to be careful, and not loan back or he would fall into the water. "I'll bet you a quartern of rum that I jump in," said the prisoner. He accepted the wager, and the prisoner jumped into the water from the bridge, and struck out to the bank. Mr. Benson- Then he did not intend to commit suicide at all• _ _ _ Witness—Not ho, sir, he jumped into the water for a quartern of rum. Mr. Benson—Did you give him the rum ? Wituess—Yes, sir, I paid him the bet. A quartern of the best Jamaica pineapple rum. Sir. Benson said that the prisoner's conduct was very foolish indeed, and if ho had boon drowned suspicion might have attached to his memory that he had committed suicide, or that his friend had thrown him into the water. There was no doubt the prisoner was inebriated, and was tempted by a quartern of ruin to jump into the water. White the policeman said that the prisoner struggled to ge t a way from him and wanted to jump into the water a second time. _ ___ Mr. Benson—He wanted another quartern of rum. Ho is discharged.

TEA.—Business has remained very inactive, operations on the part of the trade having been postponed until to day, when a large quantity of China produce will be offered at public sale. The Ajax, screw steamer, which started on the 18th June, has arrived with the first cargo of now sea son's teas. SCGAR.—The dealings have been on a very limited scale, and no material change can be reported in prices. Refined goods have been in fair request, and previous quotations have been well supported. COFFEE. —Only a moderato amount of business has been negociated, but a rather large quantity will be offered at public sale during the week ; prioos, however, remain steady. The stocks on hand, compared with thoso of the corresponding period of last year, exhibit an increase of about 1,700 tons. RlCE.—There has been some inquiry for goods on the spot and also to arrive, but the terms offered are too long to cause much business to be entered into. FRlAT.—Scarcely any business has boon done, but prices of new goods remain steady. TALLOW.—There has boon a further decline in the price of tallow during the past week of fully £1 per ton, caused by the lower quotations from St. Petersburg. A speculator there who held 10,000 casks of tallow having suddenly disposed of them for export, this depressed that market considerably, and the last quotation was 441, silks, with but little disposition to pm chase on the part of exporters. The exchange had advanced to 320. To-day the market is inactive, very little business doin r. 41s is demanded fur the last three months; 44s 3d December; 41s 61 paid for new Y.C. on the spot ; 44s old ; 45s Odessa sheep ; 41s 6tl beef ; 45s to 45s 6d South American ; 13s 3d Town Tallow, nett cash. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day. The Market opens steadily with a fair demand. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales. A PAPER MILL BURNT.—About half-past 12 o'clock yesterday a fire broke out in the third story of a paper manufactory, situate at Old Mill, about a mile from Barnsley, when the whole of the working premises were destroy e d. Au alarm was given immediately on the flames being seen, and the Barnsley engine was soon set in motion, but its power being very limited it had little or no effect in putting out the fire, which continued burning during the whole of yesterday afternoon. The promises from the ground were four stories in height, but all of them have fallen in, and continue a mass of smouldering ruins. Fortunately the warehouse, in which there were about 20 tons of paper, was saved. The cause of the fire is said to be the over -heating of the rags, of which there was a more than usually large stock on the premises. Mr. 'foothill, the occupier, is insured, so far as the stock and machinery are concerned, in the London and Liverpool office, to the extent of £2,200, which, he states, is con siderably less than will cover his stock ; and tho buildins belonging ty Mr. Itasal io ago Walled.

Alec Taylor had his team ou the Barton Downs soon after six o'clock, and all of them doing the usual amount of work. NEWMARKET. Hermit is now daily and anxiously watched by both friends and enemies. Of the latter he has even now a few, dare they venture openly to express their candid opinion, and the rattling gallop he went on Saturday appeared to add to their list. After cantering once or twice steadily on the Limekilns he started for a two-mile spin (Target bowling along in front) at his best pace for a mile and three quarters, when Bloss took up the running on a thorough-bred hack, and led him the last quarter at a merry pace-. Many of the lookers-on declared that he tired at the finish ; and what horse would not, constituted as Hermit is, after settling one member to have another, fresh and well, to tackle at the finish ? He went well in action and pulled up sound, and of course had quite_enough of it for one day. From the French stable Rabican, L'Africain, Longchamps, and L'Epte galloped. LAMBOURNE. On Saturday morning Marksman was missing from the Russley team. From the same stable, doing good work, were Cordelia colt, Sister to Scottish Chief, half-sister to Student, and Malcolm filly, who had a couple of mile canters. After walking some little time, Malcolm filly led Primate a rattling good gallop for two miles. After going about half a mile Sister to Scottish Chief and Cor delia colt followed, but the latter only went about a mile. FINDON. Monday morning was fine and clear. The horses from both stables came out at daybreak, and went to the Black Patch. They comprised the same horses that were out on Saturday excepting Mistle toe, Gipsy Queen, Lady Lambton, Herennianus, Osprey, and Retty, who left by early train for Warwick. Helder and three others were also among the lot. They did a fair amount of work, and Potomac,Thalia, Proserpine, Sister to Vedette, Dwain Glyndwr, and Rabbit Trap had a gallop of a mile and a half at half-speed. EPSOM. Ou Monday Sherwood's cantered and galloped up the tan, the lot going well. Nightingall, after can tering Owen Roe, Cecil, Pero, Nutpeeker, Weather Breaker, colt by Thormauby out of Rogerthorpe's dam, &c., sent them the length of the tan, going well. • • STOCKBRIDGE. On Monday the weather was delightfully fine, and the ground in good order. The large string of horses now in work are in the best of health. Lord Ronald, Vauban, Challenge, Lecturer, Contraband, Pantaloon, Mameluke, Prince Louis, Belfast, Loga rithm, Seville, Ischia, Housemaid, Papillon, Lady Seymour, Summer's Eve, Minnie Warren, Lady Raglan, Athena, Lady Elizabeth, and Viridis can tered three-quarters of a mile. After walking for half an hour, the canter was repeated nearly a mile. MALTON. On Sunday morning the Whitewall horses came out at their usual time, but before they had got to the wolds rain began to fall heavily, and they Auson's and Peck' s exer cisedreturned back again. I' in the home fields. HEDNESFORD. On Saturday six of Cliff's were the first out, viz., Rose Nera, Greenhorn, Dunrobin, How-d'ye- Do, Lady Zetland, and a filly by Marionette. Palmer then brought out Fan, who went a nice steady sweat in the presence of her owner. She is wonderfully improved. Helen then led William a steady canter. Contract and Atalanta took things easy. Saunders brought out Arkansas, Charleston gelding, Lollypop, President Lincoln, and two others. I had not seen the " President" for some time. None of the lot did much work. ILSLEY. On Saturday Dover gave Achievement a canter of half a mile and a nice steady gallop of two miles. Gardevisure did just the same, whilst Lord Lyon had one canter and a nica gentle sweat of three miles, the old horse looking and going first class. The two year olds cantered steadily, and the yearlings were striding along. On Sunday, as usual, most of the teams did but little work. Achievement, however, took a nice steady canter, and returned home safe and well.—Sportsman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MARGATE RACES. MONDAY.

A smilers' race for .£2OO wan rowed yesterday, by Frank Kilsby, of Old Barge-house, waterman, and John Pedgrift, a landsman of Surbiton. Kilsby has for some years been before the public, and has lately very much improved as a sculler ; he has also figured to much advantage as an oarsman at the Thames . National Regatta. Pedgrift has also formed one of the champion four at our groat National Regatta. They are both young men and rising at their profession, so that they have made many friends. The race was looked upon with groat interest, and two steamers accompanied the race with large parties on board, the friends of both men supporting them at level money, a large sum depending on the result. Mr. W. Wilberforce, jun., was chosen referee. ➢ir. Chas. Bush, the well-known bookmaker, was umpire for Kilsby, and George Hammerton stood for Pedgrift. Henry Kelley, the champion of Eng land, was jockey for Kilsby, and Joe Sadler showed up Pedgrift, whose friends laid about 9t05 on him. Kilsby had the worst station, and came away with the lead, but the steamers were so far ahead that we could not see who really led till they got to the London Boathouse, where Kilsby was well clear, the ether keeping too close in shore. Kilsby gradually got away, although the other repeatedly threatened him, but his chance was apparently good after wards, and he led by a length at Hammersmith-bridge ; he increased it to throe or four lengths at Barnes, and then Pedgrift spurting, a desperate race ensued right home, and the referee could not distinguish who had won, declaring it a dead heat. Ile then ordered the men to row again to day. Bets stand. THE DUNDERBERG. (Communicated by a Passenger.) The Dunderberg, which was built by Mr. W. IL Webb, of Now York, a gentleman whose boldness, ingenuity, and success has drawn forth the admiration and sub stantial rewards of three of the first Powers of Europe, is now lying at Cherbourg, where she is attracting the interest and curiosity of travellers and naval architects. The Dunderberg was • originally intended for the United States Navy, she being built under a contract between Mr. Webb and the Navy Department, by which it was stipu lated that the vessel should be built upon Mr. Webb's own plans, differing though, as they did, from the principles embodied in the construction of all previous ironclad vessels. The keel of the Dunderberg was laid in the summer of 1863, and she was finally completed in 1866. There occurred some differences between Mr. Webb and the Navy Department as to points in her con struction, and when it was thought that these differences could not ba reconciled, propositions were made by foreign powers for her purchase. The President refused, however, to allow so formidable a vessel to leave the country. Upon au applieat:ea mad:, by Mr. Webb, the Congress of the United States passed a resolution directing that the vessel should not be subject to the restraint of the Government, but should be at the disposal of the owner. Foreign powers again made overtures, and negotiations wore finally concluded by her passing under the French flag. A preliminary trial trip took place at New York, and the Dunderberg sailed on the 19th ult., and arrived in Cherbourg in a fraction more than - 11 days. This remarkable passage, as regards all the essentials of time, speed, buoyancy, ease of movement, perfection in steering, seaworthi ness, economy in the use of fuel, and comfort, make a new era in naval shipbuilding. The Dunderberg is built with no dead rise—that is, flat-bottomed, a feature never before attempted in the construction of heavy-draft vessels, and all her superiority in a heavy seaway is due to this fact. It should be remembered that the Dunder berg displaces 7,000 tons of water, that she has an extra weight of 1,100 tons of armour, and carries the heaviest battery ever mounted-350 tons. The sides of the Dun derberg are inclined, and make an angle of GO deg. with the deck. They are seven foot through, and protected by 3i inches of forged iron. Her engines, which aro two in number, and of 5,000 -horse power, aro protected by the additional thickness of the coal bunkers. The upper deck is surrounded by a casemate 200 feet in length, 60 in width, and 8 feet in height, and which forms the cover for the guns. It has a thickness of 4 feet, and its outside is protected by 41 inches of forged iron. The sides of the casemate also incline to the deck an angle of 60 deg., thus making it impossible for a shot to strike any surface at an angle of GO dogs., and without that angle a projectile fails to penetrate. The Dunderberg is a screw rain, and has an enormous prow secured forward. The backing of this prow is not tem porary or disconnected, but is a portion of the main part of the hull. The maximum speed of the Dunderberg is 11 knots, and for the greater part of her passage to France she averaged eleven. The Dunderberg is without doubt the most formidable vessel in the world, and when the oppor tunity comes her success as a sea-craft will be excelled by her brilliancy in action.

A FATAL DIVE.—On Saturday afternoon a melancholy accident took place on the Clyde in the course of the Glasgow and Clydesdale Swimming Clubs' annual competition. For a match at time diving there were five entries, including ono John Gillham, a hatter by trade. Gillham was the fourth to dive, those who had preceded him having remained under water from 50 to 83 seconds. As ho had declared himself capable of making 90 seconds, no apprehension was felt till he had been about that time out of sight. At last, however, the bystanders became alarmed, and three young men dived repeatedly in the hopes of catching their unfortunate comrade. They were quite unsuccessful, nor did Gillham again appear alive at tho surface. _ _ ,CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Monday, September 2.—Admissions on payment, 6,641 ditto by sewn, tickets, tr:) - 7.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-An omnibus proprietor, named Jusson, appeared before Mr. Alderman Lusk on a sum mons charging him with cruelty to a horse, his property. Mr. 11. R. Forster, a wine merchant in business in the City, and who had formerly been secretary to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that on the 21st of last month, about six o'clock in the afternoon, he saw a man driving an omnibus in Nowgate-stroet, both the horses were in a weak condition, and one of them fell down from sheer exhaustion. lie got up, but shortly afterwards fell down again, and it was evident that the poor animal was quite unfit for work. Ile understood that the driver, who wee not present, was not regularly in the empluyinent of the defendant, and that the latter tole bins it was his intention to dispose of his old stock. Under these circumstances he did not wish to press the chergo. The defendant said that until he received the summons le was not aware of the condition of the horse. Alderman Lusk said the defendant's intention of selling his present stock of horses was not of the slightest importance as regarded the present charge, and the horses would in all probability be bought by some persons who would still work them. Nothing could be more revolting to the feelings of any rightly-constituted mind than the cruel'y with which so valuable an animal as a horse was treated. This barbarous conduct was most reprehensible, and as far as was in his power he was determined to put an end to it. The defendant was responsible for allowing horses to be worked when not in a proper state, but as he was not previously brought before the court he would not inflict the full penalty, and would fine him only 50s. ASSAULTING THE POLICE. —John Buggy, Who WAS em ployed at the gas works, at Bankside, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting the police. The first constable examined said that he was on duty last night about half-past 12, on St. Andrew's-hill, and saw the prisoner in the street, shouting and otherwiSe mis conducting himself. Ile refused to go away, and then attacked the witness, striking him violently in the face and kicked him. In the struggle that followed they both fell down, when a brother officer came, and with the greatest difficulty they succeeded in taking the prisoner to the station. Police-constable William John Morgan said that ho found the previous witness and the prisoner on the ground struggling, and ho interposed. The prisoner then attacked him, and kicked him in a dangerous part. For some time ho suffered much pain, but ho did not believe that he had sustained any permanent injury. Alderman Lusk commented on the dastardly conduct in regard to the last witness, which was the worst part of the charge against the prisoner, and he sentenced him to seven days' hard labour.

Preparations are being made to cultivate it upon an extensive scale. The shrub is enclosed in a pod, of which each plant gives a groat number, and is declared to be superior, in fineness and in quality, to the produrtions of the silkworm. It is a will perennial, the seed small, and easily separated from the fibre. The stems of the plant produce a long and very brilliant fibre, superior in strength and beauty to the finest linen thread. Small quantities have been woven in the rude manner of the Indians, and the texture and brilliancy is said to be un surpassed. A FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE.—It was an nounced some time ago that the French Government had authorised an Anglo-French company to lay a telegraphic cable from Brest to the American continent. The Patrie says that the preliminkry soundings are complete. The cable will be laid from Brest to St. Pierre Miquelon, it having been ascertained that the bottom of the ocean along that line is favourable to the design. From St. Pierre it will go along the coast of New Brunswick and the shores of the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The immersion of the cable, now making in London, is to begin in May next year, and the Great Eastern is to be employed to la y it. It is hoped that a mon th will suffice for the work, a nd that in July, 1868, at latest, Franco and the European continent will be iu direct telegraphic communication with America.
