NONEY : KARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In monetary and commercial circles there con tinues to be considerable depression, the large amount of unemployed capital on offer in the general discount market being further increased by the dis tribution of the dividends; and the rates current for accommodation range as low as from 11 to 11 DV cent. ; in exceptional instances transactions L ave been entered into on the former terms. The returns, however, of the Banks. of England and Prance exhibit symptoms of a revival of trade, although the improvement for some time to conic is expected to be very gradual. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day shows the following changes com pared with that of last week :—There has been an increase in the bills discounted of £392,000, while a decrease has taken place in the cash in hand of £1 , 0 21,000, in the private accounts of £600,000, in the notes of £125,000, in the Treasury balances of £64,000, and in the advances of £B,OOO. The following gold ships have sailed from Mel bourne during the month of August for England : --The Wave of Life, with 25,000 oz. ; the Sussex, with 32,250 oz. ; and the Great Britain, with 10 9,750 oz, ; making a total of 167,000 oz. The Arago, from New York, on the 28th ult., has arrived with specie amounting to £7,880 for Havre. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 24 26, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds have advanced 1, to 21 22. According to the advices from Pesth it appears that the Hungarian Railway Loan, of which the p r eliminaries have been arranged with the Societe Gen6rale of Paris, is to be for a nominal amount of £4,0 00,000, in shares of £l2 each, carrying interest at the rate of 5 per cent., and issued at £8 10s. During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. A good demand has prevailed for sugar, and prices have tended upwards. For coffee there has been a fair inquiry, and superior qualities of Colonial have sold readily at full values. The new arrivals of tea have been placed on the market, a nd good qualities have sold at fully late rates, while inferior descriptions are a shade cheaper. Rice has been in active request, and a large amount of b usiness might have been transacted had holders shown a disposition to reduce prices. The public !ales of indigo have progressed without change of importance, while in the Tallow Market activity has revelled, and quotations for present and forward d elivery show a slight advance. The return from the Bank of England for the Ir lek ending the 9th Oct. gives the following re :lite when compared with the previous week : — b eet *" . £3,675,000 ...

MARKETS.---This day. MARK LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat hero to day, coastwise and by land carriage. The attendance of both town and country millers was only moderato ; never theless factors were very firm in their demand, and good and fine parcels were, in some instances, the turn dearer than on Monday. Inferior qualities were held at extreme rates. Fine foreign wheats were very firm in price, and all other kinds supported the late advance in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were held at extreme cur- rencios. Tho few samples of barley on show were mostly disposed of at extreme rates. Malt was in fair average supply and sluggish request, on former terms. The oat trade was steady, and sound corn was held for more money. Beans and peas moved off freely, at late rates. The flour trade was firm. Seeds and cakes ruled about stationary. ARRITALS TIIIS WEEX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET —This Day. Market steady. Sales probably 10,000 bales, THE GREAT SHIP RACE.—The whole fleet of clipper ships engaged in the great race from China to London having arrived, it may be interesting to learn the time taken by each of them in the contest :—Ariel, 102 days ; Taeping, 102; Fiery Cross, 110 ; Flying Spur, 115; Maitland, 116; Taitsing, 118; Black Prince, 118; Serica, 119; Ziba, 120; Yang Tsze, 120 ; Chinaman, 123. The Ariel, it should bo mentioned, met 3 days' detention in the chops of the Channel, and some of the others met with very tempestuous weather, losing spars, sails, and sus taining other damage by shipping heavy seas. Ono of them reports seeing a vessel go down with all hands. The cargoes of teas they brought over were as follows :—The Ariel, 1,268,960 lbs; Taeping, 1,136,961 lbs ; Fiery Cross, 940,510 lbs ; Flying Spur, 949,716 lbs ; Maitland, 1,198,708 lbs; Taitsing, 1,098,310 lbs; Black Prince, 1,163,114 lbs ; Series, 1,030,525 lbs; Ziba, 742,207 lbs; Yang Tsze, 875,972 lbs ; Chinaman, 856,576 lbs. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO A WORKHOUSE. —On Wednesday, at the Hull work house, an old lady, possessing a considerable income from house and other property, and living in a well-furnished house of her own, applied for admission to the workhouse as an inmate. She was willing that the guardians should take possession of her property, receive the income, &c., and although told that she could not expect any treatment different from that of an ordinary pauper, she persisted in her application. She had, she said, lived alone for many years, and she felt that she would be much better taken care of iu the workhouse than outside. The guardians ultimately acceded to her request, and arrangements Were made for receiving her at once into the house. SHARE LIST--This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. tristol anixeter ....

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1%7. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—This Day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES. The magistrates sat this morning for the purpose of disposing of the cases in which the renewals of licenses for music and dancing were opposed, and also those where application was made for a new license. THE ALH.CMBRA PALACE. This application, by Mr. Strange, appeared i❑ the list of those opposed, but when the case was called on this morning, the license was renewed without the slightest opposition. THE AGRICULTURAL HALL. Mr. Poland made an application on the part of Mr. Charles Comfort, one of the board of directors, for a licensJ for music and dancing. Ile said there was no intention to convert this establishment into a casino, but the fact that the great Belgian ball being held there, and also a see and entertainment of a similar nature, viz., the National Volunteer Ball, it was thought desirable that permission should be obtained to enable the directors to let the hall for similar entertainments when other great public occasions should arise. There was no opposition to the application, and he hoped therefore the Bench would grant the license. A magistrate said the hall was now quite unfit for the purposes set forth. It was full of stalls for cattle. Mr. Poland reminded the bench that the approach of the Christmas Cattle Show rendered such a pro ceeding quite necessary, but the desire of the direc tors was to enable them on certain occasions after that event to let the hall for balls without a fear of infringing the law. Mr. Woodward, another magistrate, said he re gretted that the directors had thought it necessary to make the present application. There could be no objection to a license being granted for music only, because they all knew how admirably entertainments of that kind had been given at the Agricultural Hall. With respect to the great Belgian ball, it was stated there was no other place in which such an entertainment could be given, and as it was to be conducted by a committee of noblemen and gentlemen, that made it quite a spe cial case. Then, again, the Messrs. Defrics deco rated the place in the most wonderful manner, a manner that it was impossible to describe, and one that brought back the early and pleasant recollections of what he had read in the "Arabian Nights" about enchanted places. All these rendered the late Belgian Ball such a special matter that it ought not to be taken as a proof that the granting of the dancing license was necessary. it might be said that another national Volunteer fraternisation might render the giving of aball desirable, but if that event should occur and our French neighbours should give us a visit, the same precautions could be taken as at the Bel gian Ball, and nothing else was necessary. He re gretted to oppose the applications,because he knew that he would strictly observe the understanding that the permission was only sought for the giving of occasional balls. But Mr. Comfort was only one of the directors ; the others might not be animated with the same feeling, and as he knew the great desire of all directors was to increase their divi dend he might be outvoted, and then what would become of the matter? The objection he had to the application was not mainly the dancing, but the confusion in the neighbourhood and other ill effects that followed the departure of a large crowd of persons. He would willingly vote for a music license only, but to one for dancing he should give his strongest opposition. Mr. Cox said the last worthy magistrate who had addressed them had swallowed the camel, and now he objected to the gnat. He did not find fault with the directors when they were breaking the law, yet now, when they came and wished to put them selves within it, he objected to their being permitted to do so. The balls that had been given were clearly a breach of the law, yet on the occasion ho saw several magistrates present, amongst them being the Assistant Judge. The application was then put to the vote, when there appeared four in favour and eight against it. A license for music only was then made and granted without opposition. Mr. Pownall said the matter having been disposed of, he begged:to make one or two observations with respect to a matter in which he was concerned. He was applied to before the late ball took place to know his feelings on the matter, and he wrote in reply a private letter. No sooner was that done than that letter was published, and a copy sent to nearly every magistrate, a proceeding he thought highly objectionable. He himself did not get a copy of the letter, neither did his son, or any person that was likely to communicate the fact to him (Mr. Pownall), and he could only say that he thought a course had been taken with that letter which ought not to have been adopted. Mr. Poland said he believed the directors were not aware of what had been dono until the letter was produced before the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. Pownall said he had mentioned the fact in order to set himself right with his brother magis trates. The letter was merely the expression of his individual opinion, and was not written with the knowledge that it was to be printed and sent round to ail the Magistrates. The subject then dropped. ALEXANDRA PALACE, DIUSWELL HILL. A license for music was unanimously granted to ,his new and splendid building. THE ARCIIES, VILLIERS-STREET. A license for music was granted to Mr. Gatti for his new place of public entertainment. APPLICATIONS REFUSED. The St. George's Hall, Gray's-inn-road ; the St. Martin's Tavern, Pratt-street, Camden-town ; the Lord Southampton, Grafton-terrace, Kentish-to wn ; the Duke of Cambridge Hotel, Cambridge road, Kilburn ; the Pembroke Hall, Hackney ; the Forester's Inn, Ealing, &c., &c. VALUE OF A GOOD CHARACTER.--Edward Larrod was indicted at the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, before Mr. Payne, for stealing a horse-rug belonging to Jonathan Carter. An excellent character was given to the prisoner, who was found guilty, but most strongly recommended to mercy. Mr. Payne said he thought the justice of the case would be mot by ordering the prisoner to enter into his own recognisances in .£25, and his brother in £2O, to come up for judgment if he should be called upon. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LEICESTER RAILWAY STATlON.—Yesterday morning a fatal accident oc curred on the Midland Railway, adjoining the passenger station, Leicester. A largo number of men have for some months past been employed removing a very high embank ment for the purpose of widening the railway and construct ing extensive new sidings. About half- past ten o'clock yesterday morning three men were engaged in "holing" at one part of the works—that is, undermining the earth with a view to its entire removal. They had not long been so engaged when a portion of the embankment above them suddenly gave way. A portion of the failing earth struck one of the men, named Benjamin Ch a pp e ll, on th e h ea d and knocked him on to the ground, covering the upper part of his body. His follow-workmen, who were unhurt, instantly removed the clay and lifted Chappell up, but his head was found to be (rightfully crushed, and he was quite dead. The body was removed to an adjoining public house, where it awaits an inquest. This is the third fatal accident which has occurred at these works. The em bankment which is in course of removal is at some points upwards of 40ft. high. Deceased was between 20 and 30 years of age, and leaves a wife, but no children.

A PERSISTENT BLIND BEGGAR.—John Sullivan, a blind man of respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. William Woddup, an officer of the Mendicity Society, stated that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner standing in front of the National Gallery begging,with a placard (stating that he had been in the army) round his neck. Ile told the prisoner that as he had cautioned him several times before he should take him into custody, and did so. On the way to the station the prisoner said he would do for him, or that if he did not do so he would put some one else on to do so. Mr. Knox asked the officer if he saw the prisoner receive anything, and .how many times he had been at the court. The officer said be saw the prisoner receive money from two persons, and that the prisoner had been at the court several times, and once sent for seven days, but he had been several times cautioned and discharged by the Magistrate. The prisoner entered into a long statement to the effect that he had not begged, and that he had not threatened the officer as he alleged. IVoildup said that when the prisoner was last brought to that court he promised not to beg again. Mr. Knox said if any one had been humanely treated by the magistrates it was the prisoner. Every one had been sorry for the prisoner's afflic tion, and had let him off. lie was sorry to be obliged to do it, but he must commit the prisoner for 14 days. WESTMINS rER. THE. VALUE OF POLICE TESTIMONY " A GAIN."— A very quiet-looking young man, who gave the name of William Ituuibelow, was charged as fol lows : Police-constable James Sartain, 257 B, said that he saw defendant and a young woman in the High road, Knightsbridge, walking hand-in-hand on the footway. He told them to go away, when de fendant used bad language to him. Mr. Selfe•—Why should he go away ? I can't see much harm in a young man having hold of a young woman's hand. Policeman—They were across the pavement so as no one could pass. He would not go away and used the same language to me as before, and I took him into custody. Defendant—l was standing by the side of Prince's gate with a young woman who was waiting for her brother to come from St. John's-wood to go to the Trevor. We had not hold of hands, and were en tirely out of the way of the traffic, when this policeman and another came by, and this one said, " How do you do, my dear ?" to the young woman with me, and because I asked what it was to him how she was he locked me up. I did not use the language they say. Police constable 370 B confirmed the other policeman. Mr. Selfe—ls the young woman here ? Defendant—She is outside. Mr. Selfe—l should like to see her. A very respectable-looking girl corroborated, in every particular, the young man's statement, with the addition that it was the policeman, Sartain, who had used the bad language. Defendant—l have another witness. A person who had lived in the same house as the defendant for 12 months proved that he was a quiet, inoffensive man, a teetotaller, who never used bad language, and who was the mainstay of a widowed mother. Mr. Selfe—l have to say which of these accounts is true. Looking at the whole my opinion is the two constables have told lies, and are unworthy of belief. I request this case to be reported in the proper quarter. Defendant is discharged. 'I'IIAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY.—Joseph Newberry, labourer, 34, was charged with stealing £7, belonging to a poor woman named Sarah Balcomb. The prosecutrix, the prisoner, and his wife lived in one room in Commercial-road-east. Mrs. 8.11- comb, a very industrious mangle-woman, had saved £7, which she foolishly kept in a box under her bed. A few nights ago she saw the money safe in her box when she made a small addition to her hoard. The prisoner had been strange in his conduct all the week, and had been drinking ; but Mrs. Balcomb did not suspect her savings had been meddled with until last night, when the following letter was sent to the prisoner's wife, from whom he had parted early in the morning : " Dear Emma,—Will you forgive me for the sake of our poor children. ' Grant me an interview, my dear. If you will relieve me from shame meet me to-night at 11 o'clock, corner of Osborne-street. 0 Lord, how I was tempted, for it done me no good, for I had some beer and got robbed. My dear, don't say nothing to nobody. Come if you can. Let us fly somewhere else. May God help me to lead a better life.—Your affectionate husband, " JOSEPH NEWBURY." Mrs. Balcomb, who read the letter at the request of the prisoner's wife, immediately suspected she had been robbed. She went to her box. It was broken open, and her money was gone. A police constable named William Brown, 82 11, accom panied the prosecutor to Osborne-street, and there found the prisoner, who was taken into custody. Brown found upon him £2.185. 9d. iu gold, silver, and halfpence, a new suit of clothes, and an over coat. He at once admitted the money belonged to Mrs. Balcomb, and that he had purchased the new clothing with part of her money. He also said the devil tempted him to rob the poor woman of her money, and that he was very sorry for what he had done. In answer to questions by the magistrate, Brown said that the prisoner had shaved off his whiskers since he left home, and that he gave 30s. for the clothes, but they would no t, if sold, realise more than 15s. The prisoner, who was very dejected, said—l am sorry ; the devil tempted me to do it. Mr. Benson—lt is a very crud robbery. You are committed for trial. IVILLS AND BEQUESTS. The wills of the Right Hon. Baroness Marston, Baroness Georgiana Solardi, and the Hon. Hen rietta Jones, have been recently proved in the London Court. The will of Thomas B. Bulkeley-Owen, Esq., of Tedsmore Hall, West Felton, Salop, was proved, at Shrewsbury, by the testator's eldest son, Bulkeley Hatchett Bulkeley-Owen, Esq., the sole executor. The trustees are Sainsbury Kynaston Mainwaring, Esq., of Octley Park, and Robert Burton, Esq., of Longnor. The personal property was sworn under £lO,OOO. The will is dated April 4, 1866 ; and the testator died April 27, 1867, at the age of seventy-seven. He leaves to his eldest son his estate of Tedsmore Hall, and all other freeholds, together with the residue of the perso nalty. He has apportioned out liberal provisions for his younger son, Thomas Mainwaring B. Bul keley-Owen; his (testator's) daughter Margaret, wife of the Rev. E. Jacson ; and his eldest grandson, Shalcross B. Jacson. To his agent, George Cottle, he leaves /300. He bequeaths certain portions of his paintings and pictures as heirlooms with the inheritor of Tedsmore Hall ; and he leaves the other portion of his pictures, books, and furniture to his eldest son absolutely. The will of William Swan Dixon, Esq., of Hil cot Hall, Chebsey, Stafford, was proved in the London Court on the 27th ult., and the personalty sworn under £lBO,OOO, the executors appointed being his sons William Henry, Charles Edward, and Alfred Nixon, and Edward Wright ; the two first-named are the only acting executors. The will is dated 1860 ; and the testator died August 19, 1867, at Douglas, Isle of Man. It is entirely a family will. There is a legacy of £l,OOO to his grandson, William Dixon M'Coukey. To his daughter Helen he leaves the interest of £5,000 for her life. The residue of his property he divides equally amongst all hip other children. Experiments with the Mackay Gun. Yesterday some interesting trials were made of these guns against armour-plated targets, the prac tice being on the beach between Crosby and Hightown, to the north of Liverpool. Most readers are aware that Mr. Mackay claims the invention of the windage system of shooting elongated pro jectiles. Preparatory to experiments with heavy artillery, he carried out a laborious practice, ex tending over two years, with shoulder arms, the result of which wr as so satisfactory that he deter mined to carry it out on a large scale with heavy guns. Mr. Mackay's projectiles are smooth cylin drical bolts ; the interior of the guns are furnished with spiral grooves, and the gases escaping up these grooves communicate a rotary motion to the pro . petile. The advantages secured are that with less strain upon the gun and lvss weight of charge there is a greater initial velocity, and greater pene trative power and range. The projectiles are made of one hard metal incapable of expansion on the bore of the gun. They may be cast and afterwards turned or not as may be deemed necessary, and the absence of studs, buttons, or bars, for the pur pose of giving a rotary motion, renders them cheaper of construction than other elongated pro jectiles. Mr. Mackay contends, and cites his ex periments in proof, that an elongated projectile proceeding from the windage gun at the initial velocity of 1,400 ft. per second is immensely more destructive than a similar projectile, without rota tion, with a flight of 1,600 ft. per second initial velocity. He believes it is not possible to obtain the advantage of such a rotation upon the fixed projectile system, because the strain on the gun would be so great as to destroy it with a heavy charge, and even if the rifled gun stood a few rounds, the penetrative powers of the projectile, after it becomes disentangled from the fixed screw ing process, would be very slight. He claims that his experiments have established that the force or striking power due to rotary projectiles and the quantity of powder used for the charge can only be, obtained when the mean of rotation is imparted to it to coincide with the initial velocity. The experi ments yesterday commenced at one o'clock, and the weather being bright and fine the attend ance of spectators was very large. There were three guns—one 8-inch, one 6 inch, and one 3-inch. The targets were four in all ; No. 1, an 8-inch target, solid iron plating, resting on two flat balks of timber, 14 by 14, kept in its position in front and rear by two pieces of battens nailed, and supported at the top by a 14-inch balk, which took in the head of the plate. No. 2 was the Agincourt target, as} inch plate of rolled iron, backed with 9-inch teak, iron skin, resting on 14-inch balks, and kept in po-. sition by two other balks being braced to them. No. 3 was a 5-inch plate, supported on both its edges by 14-inch balks. No. 4 was a 2i-inch plate. The first shot fired was a solid cast iron ball of 701b5., which was fired at a distance of 75 yards from the 6-inch gun,with a charge of 221b5., against the 5-inch plate. The velocity may be estimated from the fact that it passed clean through the target, making a circular hole. Portions of the broken shot and a large piece of the target were picked up at the distance of a thousand yards in a direct line from the target. The next shot fired was from the 8-hich gun at the same target, with a spherical steel shot of 681b5., with 301bs. of powder. It struck the target low down to the right, but the penetration was complete, and a large portion of the back of the plate surrounding the aperture was carried away. The third shot fired was a cylindrical steel bolt of 741bS. weight, which was fired from the 6-inch gun against the Agincourt target, with a charge of 221bs. of powder. This shot struck the target in its strongest part, and bad it remained whole there is little doubt that it would have made a clean penetration. As it was, the shot broke into two parts, one of which dropped in front of the target, and the other, though it went through the plate itself, lodged in the backing. The fourth shot was a cast iron cylindrical bolt of 701b5., with a charge of 221bs. of powder, from the 6-inch gun against the Agincourt tarp; ;t. The penetration in this case was not complete, but extended for 2-3ds of the width, cracked the plate, and seriously damaged the backing. The experiments will pro bably be resumed to-day. Amongst those present on the ground were General Sir John Jones, Col. Freeling (Ordnance Select Committee), Lieutenant Marshall, R.A., Captain Osborne, Captain W. Lock, 'the French and Spanish consuls, Captain White, R.N., Commander Horner, R.N., Captain Clerker (Swedish Embassy), &c. FEMALE CONVIC7 PRISONS. - There are three prisons in England specially ap propriated to female convicts, and situated respec tively at Parkhurst, Fulham, and Brixton. During, the year 1856 504 prisoners were received or dis posed of, 121 of whom were transferred to Milbank, Fulham, or Brixton, 101 discharged, and 59 re moved to the Eagle House and Carlisle Memorial Refuges. Seven deaths occurred, and there were 216 inmates at the end of the year. The women are employed in needlework of various kinds, knit ting, laundry work, coir picking, cooking, and baking, and the sum realised from the performance of these duties amounted to £1,691. The total annual cost of this prison is £12,508, and the net expenditure £11,835. Of the seven deaths all were from natural causes, and the establishment was, during the autumn epidemic of last year, perfectly free from cholera. The superintendent of the Brixton prison reports that there were 482 convicts in that establishment at the end of last year, that 140 were transferred to other prisons, two were removed to lunatic asylums, 9 died, and 155 were discharged, making a total of 788 treated in 1866. The in mates of the prison manufacture a very large quantity of clothing, &c., nearly 27,000 shirts, 6,207 War Department socks, 10,000 handkerchiefs, and 2,400 towels being among the articles eau- merated. The net expenditure of this establishment was £14,300. A total of 296 prisoners were treated at the Fulham Refuge during 186 G, and 140 re mained at the end of the year. The mark system and some change of diet was applied to this prison in June of last year, which placed it, as to diet and discipline, on a par with the establishments at Park hurst and Brixton. These women now spend the last six months of their sentences at the Carlisle Memorial or Eagle Refuges. The former of these institutions was opened in August, 1865, has ac commodation for 50 inmates, and has arranged with the Government to receive 100 women during the year. Since the opening of this useful esta blishment 153 female convicts have been received, and of 115 already liberated, 49 have obtained situations, and 66 have returned to their friends and families. The Eagle [l ou se Refuge was esta blished through the exertions of the Marchioness Dowager of Lothian and Sir Walter Crofton, was opened in March of last year, and had received during the first year 34 prisoners. The Directors of Prisons, in the course of their last annual report, say :—" We have much pleasure in bearing testi mony to the good results already apparent from the work undertaken by these two refuges, which have been admirably conducted, with the best in fluence on the convicts." THE SEARCIU.FOR SIR J. FRANKLIN'S REMAINS.— Advices published by the American papers from Repulse Bay, head of Hudson's Bay, dated August 15, giv e an account of the whereabouts of the Arctic explorer, Captain Hall, in search of the remains of Sir J. Franklin. Captain Hall was living on the rocks in the same place he wintered in last winter. During last winter ho had been on a journey in search of dogs, accompanied by five men belonging to the whale ships in the bay and two natives. Tho party took a north west course, and were away six weeks,.having accomplished their object, but had suffered great privations, living only on frozen deer meat and a spoonful of brandy per day each. Some information Capt. Hall received last winter from the natives ho fell in with has determined him to winter there this winter. The na tives told him that some white men had been with them a long time, and cne of them died, and they had buried him with great care. Captain Hall thinks it may bo Sir John Franklin, and has determined to try and reach the country• and see for himself, so he offered among the whaling fleet $5OO in gold per man for five men. to go with hint. The men having wintered, did not wish to stay, but at last live good strong men joined, and when they had done hunting this autumn they would start. Captain Hall is sure of obtaining some relics at least. "If I die," says he, " 1 shall dio doing my duty." THfiiii-E-friffo-W. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

EAST INDIA POLICE FORCE.—A general statement as to this force was published as a Parliamentary paper last session, on the motion of Lord William Hay. From this it appears that the towns and rivers of Cal cutta, with a population of 377,921 parsons, and an area of more than seven miles, have for their proteztion a total strength of 1,643 police, or one policeman to 230 persons. The suburbs of Calcutta, which contain an approximate population of 238,325 individuals, and an area of 29 1-5 square miles, are supplied with 1,026 police, or one to every 234 of the population. The town of Madras has a population of 460,000 persons, an area of 27 square miles, and a total of 831 police, including foot, mounted, and marine divisions. The town of Bombay has 1,500 police, which allows ono to 544 inhabitants, inasmuch as there is a population of 816,562 persons, and an area of 21 square miles. Each force has among its members many varieties as to sect and creed, including Europeans, Eurasians, Ilindoes, Mahommedans, native Christians, and others. BULL FIGIITS.—The press of Madi id has fur Eome time past been pub:ishing articles against bull-fighting, and in their attacks on the sport have given some curious statistics. The number of bull-ti g hts have of late consi derably increased, and it is calculated that ins. single year, 1861, as many as 1, 990 of those animals were thus sacrificed. The value of each being estimated at 2,500 reals, the loss may be set down at 4,975,000 reals. In the same year, 3,000 horses, worth 600,000 roals, are supposed to have peris • hed The losses in 1866 were still greater, and con sisted of 2,375 bulls and 3,561 horses, representing a total value of about 7,800,000 reals. The money paid for ad mission to the 475 bull-lights which took place last year amounted to 13 millions of reals, so that the total cost of that amusement to the country fur the year Was not less than a million of piastres, or five millions of francs. Lord Lyons, it is expected, will leave for Pari in the course of the ensuing week, to enter upon his dutio as Ambassador to the Court of tlae Tuileries. rl 11- 'sty and Tho cx- lay and Sat [Jul )ms, tr he rid u ng n- e di 1© e, 3n P- CS ds )n a g it r Share! 20 st et 100 204 204 too 100 II MI.
