lONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No movement of importance is reported in the Money Market, and, so far as has been ascertained, the Payments of the 4th have been met in a very satisfactory manner. There has, of course, been a larger inquiry for accommodation on mercantile bills and other securities, but the supplies are much larger than the requirements of t he mercantile community, and the quotations c onsequently r e ma in in an easy position. til the holiday season is over no stimulus . " likely to be given to any description of enter rise, and promoters as well as contractors are Holding many important and promising projects in abeyance. A similar state of affairs obtains in Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfort, and the other prin cipal cities of the Continent. Bar gold to the amount of £145,000 was taken to the Bullion-office of the Bank yesterday, as well 8 ,000 sovereigns from Buenos Ayres. The saver market is quiet, and prices are unaltered. The flammonia, from New York, has brought about £3,000 in specie, and the City of Paris the S ame amount. The Euxine, from Alexandria, has only £4,314. Turquand and Harding, the liquidators °f " Overend, Gurney, and Co., Limited," have an nounced the payment of a further dividend of 4s, In the pound between the 10th and 14th instant. A further dividend of 2s. 6d. may be expected in November. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures h ave advanced 1, to 25 26, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain firm at 22! 23f.

The usual half-yearly general meeting of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern, Mr. llugh Montgomerie, the chairman, presiding. The report, copies of which had been circulated amongst the shareholders, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said the first point to which the report referred was the reduction of the expenditure, according to the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting. The accounts went three months beyond the period of that meeting, and as far as pos sible the estimates made had been carried out. The expenditure in Canada was $lB,OOO, and in Eng land £2,170 10s. 4d. That sum did not include the £3OO remuneration to the directors, but that would not affect the shareholders, as the directors would not take any remuneration for the present year. He had no doubt that the Canadian Govern ment would have met them fully and frankly with respect to the question of the settlement, and they had done so, allowing an extension of three years for the settlement. With respect to the gold in the township referred to in the last report, there had been nothing since to induce the directors to believe that gold did exist ; but, on the other side, there was nothing to show that gold did not exist in the quartz formation which would pay, and if that were the case the business of the colony would be very great. There had been an increase in their timber trade, and this was a most opportune period for the sale of timber. The state of the township was so fully explained in the report as to render it unnecessary for him to go further into that subject. After some discussion the rer ort was ultimately adopted. FOUNDERING OF TWO STEAMERS. Yesterday afternoon a somewhat remarkable oc currence took place on the river below bridge by the sinking of two steamers. The Condor (s.) 645 tons, was one of the fleet belonging to the North German Lloyd's Company commanded by Captain Bosse, from Stockholm and Copenhagen, laden with iron and general goods, was coming up the river, and on arrivng off the Surrey Commercial Docks by some accident she got athwart a tier of vessels moored on the Rotherhith side, and came with such force on the stern of one of the vessels as to knock a hole in one of her plates below the water line, causing her to commence filling immediately. The steamer was without loss of time extricated from her position, and the captain learn ing from the engineer that the water had nearly reached up to her fires in the engine-room, caused her to be immediately run ashore, where she filled, and at high water only her masts and funnel were to be seen. The other mishap betel the Druid steamer, 615 tons burden, which had arrived from Cronstadt with a cargo of grain. In steaming up past Wap ping she struck heavily on something at the bottom of the river, apparently an anchor, which ripped open some of her plates, and caused her instantly to fill, and she sank, the crew escaping by the riggin g . The latter will be a serious loss, as her cargo will be destroyed and useless before she can be raised. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 3.—The slightly better tone which was yesterday thought to exist in -conse quence of a steadier cotton market at Liverpool has not borne the test of a more thorough business day like this, and, except that the market is a little more lively in consequence of a more general inquiry than we have had lately, there is no change. This more thorough inquiry seems to have been merely the result of the supposed greater disposition to do business, but has really led to very little indeed. Country manufacturers coming to market this morning say they have found things as bad as they ever knew them to be, with prices only obtainable which would involve a considerable loss. In shipping yarns sellers re port prices steadier, and a little more business doing at the very low prices of Friday, principally for China, hut they say that the Calcutta houses are operating very sparingly, and are not disposed to buy except at very reduced rates. Home trade yarns, sellers say, are a little more settled and regu lar in price, but the very lowest prices of last week have to be submitted to where business is transacted. In this class of yarns the business of the day has nearly reached an average. Manufacturers say they have bought yarns at the very lowest prices touched since the cotton famine, and certainly on easier terms than they could afford to spin them in their own mills. The cloth market is without change. Though very little business has been done during the past week in the ordinary course, yet buyers, making offers for large quantities, have succeeded in transferring some considerable stocks from sellers' warehouses for shipment at something under the lowest quotations in the open market. These transactions would pro bably have extended but for a sudden check given by the latest telegrams from Calcutta reporting further depression in that market. More business could have been done in India goods to-day on the same low terms, but the advices from Calcutta seem to have led buyers here to suspend operations for the present. The buyers for China have now been in the market for some weeks, but have not done much in aggregate amount. They appear to have been more employed in actively testing prices as they have slowly declined than in purchasing to any great ex tent. Home trade cloths are again quiet and de pressed. Country manufacturers say they never witnessed so much caution displayed. The orders they receive even from first-class houses are re stricted beyond all precedent, and as a rule may be reported at about one-sixth in quantity of the orders which would be given in a normal state of the mar ket. Not only is very little business doing, but prices are very depressed for this class of goods. ROCHDALE, 2d.—There was a rather better at tendance in the flannel market to-day than last Monday, and more disposition to purchase goods was shown. A good bulk of plain as well as fancy flannels was sold. A fair amount of business was done in different classes of flannel for exportation, as well as for the home trade. There was a slight improvement also noticeable in the Yorkshire goods trade. There was no change as to wools, manu facturers buying sparingly, but prices of wool, as well as of goods, are firm. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day The Market opens steady, at yesterday's rates, Sales probably 10,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 2'c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of lie.loo. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The oouree of exchange at New York on London for bills at N days' sight is about i0:1 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 3.—The Hamburg and American Company's steamship ilammonin, from Now York, has arrived here with 107 passengers for this port, Havre, and Hamburg, $5,000 iu specie for London, and $11,200 for Hamburg.

Jeakes and Co., of Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, engineers and contractors, at their works in Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged with stealing between two and three lbs. of brass castings, the property of his employers. Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that though the property stolen on this occasion was of little value, there was reason to believe that a system of robbery had been going ou for some titno. The discovery was purely accidental, living resulted from one of the other men taking the prisoner's coat ininistake for his own. James Nicholson said he was a handy man, employed at Messrs. Jeakes' and Co.'s work,:, in Char:es-street. Prisoner was stoker in the smiths' shop. Last evening: witness, when leaving work, took up a coat which he thought was his own, and was in the act of putting it on, when he noticed that it was somewhat heavy, and putting his hand into one of the pockets took out a pocket handkerchief containing between two and - three lbs. of brass cuttings. Thinking some one had been playing a trick upon him ho exclaimed—" Who has been putting metal in my pocket.' One of the men called out to the prisoner, "Gibson„ have you been putting anything into Niatolson's pocket ?' The prisoner replied "lie ?" and hurried towards the spot. Witness then perceived that he had got the wrong coat, and said, " Oh, it is not mine." •' No, said the pri soner, " it is mine." Nicholson asked him what busi ness ho had with cuttings in his pocket ? lie replied that he picked them up when sweeping the shop. At that time the foreman was gone, but the first thingin the morn ing witness spoke to him about it. John. Toomey, the foreman, said in consequence of what the last witness told him he sent for tie prisoner, and asked him what he meant by stealing the brass cuttings. The prisoner said he picked them up, but he did not take them out of the works, and he did not call that stealing. The prisoner, being called upon to plead, said, " I am not guilty of stealing the brass." He was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUEL ROBBERY. —Edward Elliott, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silk dross, a lace shawl, and a sovereign, the property of a young woman named Caroline Harrison, residing at 2, Union street, Middlesex Hospital. Tho prosecutrix, an unfortunate, said that on Saturday morning the prisoner called between 7 and 8 o'clock to see Mrs. Webb, the person she was lodging with. The pri soner was admitted into Mrs. Webb's shop, the prosecutrix being in bed in the parlour at the time, and shortly after said he would go out and fetch in two friends, and he left, and at the same time she heard the rattling of silk, and on going into the shop, where she had loft her clothes, she missed them, and also a sovereign which was in her dress pocket. Some time afterwards the prisoner came back, and she then taxed him with robbing her, and held him, but he scratched her and got from her, and ran away. — Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether either of the prisoners came into the shop. The prosecutrix answered in the negative. The prisoner said it was one of tho men who took the things, and a pawnbroker in Wardour-street could prove that it was another man who offered the articles in pledge. Police-constable Robert Carter, 117 C, said that on taking tho prisoner into custody last night ho said he had not committed the robbery, but that it was one of his friends, and he also said that if they did not lock him up he would pay the prosecutrix ss. a-week. The prisoner said ho never made such a statement. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix whether she went with the officer to the prisoner's lodgings to give him into custody. The prosecutrix said she was unable to go, as she bad no dress to put on. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner, who could call his two friends as witnesses if ho thought proper. THAMES. WIFE BEATlNG.—Jonathan Carr, a tall young ma; was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with beating his wife, Elizabeth, on whose head there was a very large wound covered with a surgical plaister. The parties have been married 16 months, and their union has been productive of nothing but unhappiness owing to the general violence and bad temper of the pri soner. I.lo,has frequently ill-used her, and six weeks ago, to use her own words, ho nearly killed her. He was at work on board ship yesterday, and his wife, hearing that a man had fallen from the deck into the held, and been seriously injured, she went out in search of information, and to ascertain whether her husband was the injured party or not. At a late hour alto met with her hus band talking to a woman of disreputable character in front of a public-house in Artichoke-hill, Ratcliff High way. Tho complainant spoke to him, and ho abused her. She followed him to several public-housds, and requested him to come home until twelve o'clock at night, when ho Mused her in the street and tore the clothes from her person. Ho was given into custody and convoyed to a station-house. The inspector on duty refused to entertain the charge, because there were no marks of violence upon her, and advised her to apply to a magistrate for a summons. She continued to watch the movements of her husband for some time longer, until ho escaped from her. She went home to her lodgings, No. 3, Albert-terrace, Shadwell, and found her hus band lying on the bed with his clothes on. Ho got up im mediately, and commenced beating her. She called out "Murder!" and attempted to escape from the follow by running down stairs, but ho soon seized her, pulled her back, and kicked her on the head so severely that blood flowed copiously. A policeman who entered the prisoner's apartment soon afterwards said it looked like a slaughter house. . The complainant was confirmed by Jane Matthews as to all that occurred in the house. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was guilty of wicked cruelty to his wife, and his conduct towards her generally was unmanly and brutal. He sentenced the prisoner to ono month's imprisonment and hard labour, and to find bail to keep the peace towards his wife and all other per sons. X ARKE TS.--This day. MARK LANE. The arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent, both coastwise and by rail, have only been moderate, but the condition of the sample on offer was good. The demand for both red and white qualities was inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. There was a fair show of foreign wheat, for which there was little inquiry, at late rates. Tho supply of barley continues limited, and values were firmly supported. An average business has boon doing in floating cargoes of grain on previous terms. Tho malt trade is dull, but we have ao change to report in prices. Oats were in good supply and sluggish request, and prices had a downward tendency. Beans and peas aro a slow sale, at late rates. The market for seeds is dull. Tares and clover seeds were in little inquiry, and rapeseed and linseed were less firm. In cakes there is very little passing. No alteration:took place in the value of either town or country flour. The demand for all descriptions was heavy. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Tlird—" What would be the best means of rendering the acion of the International Congress permanent and effective? The organisation of a permanent association of the friends of democracy and of liberty." IRELAND DUBLIN, Sept. 3. A deputation from the English Reform League, comprising Mr. Edmond Beales, " the distinguished advocate of Parliamentary Reform," Mr. Ernest Jones, and some other members of the corps who usually play minor parts, have favoured this city with a visit, and made their first appearance before a Dublin audience last evening. The Irish Reform League, of whose existence the public are now re minded, made arrangements, it appears, to give Mr. Beales a hospitable reception at the Westland row Station, but, by one of those unfortunate acci dents to which such bodies arc liable, the deputation which had been appointed to do him special honour missed him in the crowd. They made the lust re paration they could offer by waiting upon him after wards at the European llotel. Later in the even ing, as the Evening Post announces, " the members of the League, including Messrs. Stanley, Dillon, Meehan, Dargan, Richardson, Cooke, Molloy, and Fagan, came to pay their respects to Mr. Beales.' A conversation ensued, and Mr. Beales " pledged himself, on behalf of himself and his colleagues, to advocate the ballot for Ireland." lie was again induced to speak. by the dexterous proposal of a vote of thanks. Mr. Beales, in acknowledging the com pliment, assured the company that the English Reform League " observed no distinction whatever between England and Ireland," and, in strict logical sequence, added that " England will never be in the position she ought to be until Ireland entirely occu pies an equal position to her with regard to all national rights, all political and social advantages of every description." Alluding to events in Ireland last year, he observed, " Some of your countrymen had recourse to armed force. lam not here to reflect upon them or what has been done," but he wished them to understand that national claims may be enforced by combined popular action within the limits of law, which "no Government or array of military power in the world can resist." He illustrated this by reference to what he had himself achieved in London, as to which he was very explicit :—"I have proved that in London, when in opposition to all the notices and threats of the Government, and with the knowledge of a formidable military force being arrayed to prevent the people from meeting in Hyde Park, I persevered, and successfully persevered, in vindicat ing the right of the people to meet there. Because I was convinced that I was right in law, and in the strength of the law I led them there, and the Go vernment was powerless to resist. Having pursued that course last year and this year, what was the result? In one case the Government did interfere with us in relation to our meetings at Hyde Park, but on the third day they stepped in and asked me to save them from revolution. (Cheers.) And if I had not done so on the 28th of July last year, you would have had blood rolling from one end of Lon don to the other. The request I made was, that their soldiers and their policemen should be with drawn from Hyde Park. That was complied with, and I myself took many thousands away, simply by asking them to retire. I did not leave the Park that night until half-past 11 o'clock, when there was not a soul in it. " (Applause.) Mr. Ernest Jones, accompanied by Alderman Carter, of Leeds, Councillor Murray, of Manchester, and Mr. F. Clayton, secretary to the northern branch of the Reform League, arrived in Dublin at a later hour on Saturday night, and proceeded to the European Hotel. They were more fortunate than Mr. Beales in meeting their Irish friends on landing, and a conference was immediately held, the proceedings of which are reported to have been most gratifying and cheering. A preliminary meeting for the purpose of arranging for another conference yesterday was held on Sunday night at ',lie same rendezvous ; The O'Donoghue, M.P., presiding. Mr. Beales having been brought to the front by the congratulations of the chairman, in quired whether the [rish Reform League " would be satisfied as a beginning with the measure passed for England or agitate for a more liberal measure." Their English brethren he assured them were deter mined to continue the agitation in order to procure what alone would-be satisfactory—namely, residen tial and registered manhood suffrage and thz; Mr. Ernest Jones and others also spoke. The de putation from the Irish Reform League expressed their concurrence in the policy of the English body, and a committee was appointed to make prepara tions for the conference. The great event for which such elaborate arrangements bad been made came off yesterday morning at half-past 12 o'clock in the Rotunda. The O'Donoghue again took the:chair, and at his suggestion the doors were closed. In the evening Mr. Ernest Jones delivered a lecture in the Round Room of the Rotunda on " Political Liberty, and why it is needed." It was announced for eight o'clock, but the room not being then sufficiently filled the lecturer did not appear till half-past eight. There was then a considerable portion of the room unoccupied. The :gallery was reserved for ladies, but three or four only availed themselves of the privilege of being present. The O'Donoghue again occupied the chair. Mr. Jones, who was well re ceived on coming forward, bespoke a friendly hearing by the statement that " he was ono of a people from whose Government this great nation iad received grievous injuries." lle drew a broad distinction between the English people and English Government, and assured his audience that the people of England sympathised with them, and were determined to struggle for th e re d ress o f every w rong under which this noble country suffered. He denounced the aristocracy, who he said combined to keep down the people. There were in round numbers 71,000,000 acres in the three kingdoms. In 1770 there were 210,000 owners of the land. In 1856 the number had decreased to 32,000, and it was still diminishing, while aristo cra t s , such as the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Richmond, and the Marquis of Breadalbane, were the owners of vast tracts, which extended for miles. He advocated the repe a l o f t h e l aw o f pri mogeniture and of entail by the new reformed Parliament. He also supported the policy of the League in agitating for residential household suffrage and the ballot. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. Beales, having been called for, repeated the account of what he had done for the people of England. In returning thanks for a complimentary resolution Mr. Jones had another opportunity of addressing the meeting, and further established himself in their esteem by stating that he had been a sufferer in the cause of Ireland, having spent two years in a felon's cell. A vote of thanks to The O'Donoghue brought the proceedings to a close. The above conferences and lectures were mere re hearsals for a great public meeting which has been convened for this evening in the theatre of the Mechanics' Institute. The Freeman announces that the Roman Catholic prelates have considered and repudiated Earl Rus sell's proposal for the division of the revenues of the Established Church between Protestant and Roman Catholics. The. Cork Examiner, writing simultane ously on the subject, warns all who desire to see the Church question speedily settled not to imperil their chance of a happy solution of the difficulty " within, at the very outside, a few years hence," by seeking a division of the spoil. The Attorney-General's scheme for dividing the revenues more equitably among their recipients, but retaining to the Church every farthing of its revenues, is characterised as simply laughable ; but the proposition which comes from Catholics and Liberals, that the revenues should be transferred to the Roman Catholic Church, is deprecated as " more dangerous," and " ono which, though plausible, contains in it the elements of enormous mischief, if not actual failure." The writer points out the danger of alienating the most valuable allies—the voluntaries of England and Scotland. In reply to the inquiry to what purpose the revenues of the Estab lished Church are to be applied he says :—" Time enough for that; first get rid of the evil—first settle the primal question—namely, that the Estab lishment must be disendowed—that Protestants and Catholics shall equally depend for the support of their respective Churches on the voluntary assist ance of their respective congregations. . . There are many useful purposes to which the revenues of the Church could be profitably applied." 1V EIVCISTLE- ON-7 VAR CONSI ITU. TION A L ASSOCIATION. This newly-established association was inaugu rated at a conversazione in the Music-hall on Mon day night. Between 200 and 300 persons were present. Lord Ravensworth, the president, de livered the opening address, in which he traced out the development of the British Constitution, the limitation of the monarchy, the privileges of Par liament, and, in connexion with the Constitution of the King, Lords, and Commons, the Established Church of the kingdom, the object of which was to carry the knowledge of God's holy religion to every man in every parish in the kingdom. After speak ing upon these points at considerable length, his lordship said.—" I may bo callel a Tory and Con serrative—l am a Tory and Conservative—(hear, hear) —beeauso 1 1 )ve my Sovereign and I lave the Constitution of my country, but I do not the less love the liberties and ths privileges of the people. Nor have I in the whole course of my life, that I am aware of, committed any act or given any vote in Parliament for which I do not feel myself now personally responsible, and ready, if called upon to do so, to justify by argument. Upon a due consi deration of these topics which I have ventured thus to bring before you, one point must necessarily impress itself upon your minds-- one very serious point—namely, that this far-famed Constitution of England is a Constitution of balanced powers—that if that , balance be readily overthrown, rashly in terfered with, many dangers, certainly many in conveniences, may be expected to arise. And this brings me to the latest act of the Legislature— namely, that Reform Bill which has just become a part of the statutes of England. There is no doubt that by that bill a very large extension of political power has been given to men in the class of those whom I am now addressing—so large an extension, that many have thought, and not without reason, many have feared, not without some grounds, that the extension has been too rapid (hear), too sudden, that the consequence of it may be a disturbance of the balance of the power which I have spoken of as one of the most essential cha racteristics and features of the British Constitution. (Hear, hear.) It remains to be seen what the re sults of the Reform Bill may be ; but so long as men like yourselves are found to enrol themselves in an association for the preservation of the British Con stitution, so long as portions of the community are bound together by love and attachment to that Constitution, so long as men are persuaded of the blessings they enjoy, and so long as they may be led to apprehend dangers which may crop up with time—so long do I hope and believe that our Con stitution will be safe, and that in spite of this large extension of popular privileges the House of Com mons will yet be found the supporter, as it ever bas been, of the prerogatives of the Crown, and of the due privileges of both Houses of Parliament. Now, one or two very important and somewhat novel principles have found their way in this new Parliament with the Reform representation, and, if you will forgive me for doing so, I will allude to it, partly for the purpose of setting myself right in your minds, and in the minds of this county and neighbourhood, as to the language that was made use of by me, and which has exposed me in certain quarters to anything but worthy criticism, and which I therefore wish just to glance at in order to set myself right with the people. A great principle is established in the new Reform Act—namely, the representation of minorities. It is all very well for certain parties to abuse that principle—it is all very well to say that it is a departure from the ancient usage, but the fact is that it has been accepted by Parliament, and that it forms a portion of the Re form Act at the present moment. (Cheers.) The , :rnsequence of the application of those principles will be:that in very populous communities which 'return three members to Parliament—it is the fashion to call them three-cornered constituencies— the method of taking the vote:" will be such as will secure to the minority, almost in every C:'.2(_'; certainly the return of one member out of the three. i:Cw, whether that is right or whether that is wrong, it is a principle which has been argued for some time. It was originally brought into prominence by the Government of Lord Aberdeen, by Lord Johti Rus sell, then the leader of the Government in the House of Commons, and it is now actually part of the law of the land. I ventured to say in my place in Par liament that in the northern counties, and that in the northern boroughs, minorities were very sorrily represented. There can be no doubt that it is so. The county of Durham, as I stated, sends 10 mem bers to Parliament, of whom only two are upon the Conservative or Constitutional side of the House. I think the proportion of 8 to 2 or 4 to 1 is a some what sorry representation of the minority. I also see that, of the northern boroughs, Newcastle has not returned Conservative members since my ex- cellent and worthy and hon. friend on my left—Mr. Hodgson Hinde—represented you. I said, and I went no further than that, the principle of three cornered constituencies was found advisable to an extent further than it goes at present. The group ings of the northern boroughs might be conveni ently made so as to give the minority the right to one member out of three. I did not go beyond that. I ventured to give a sort of sketch- of the mode in which the improvement might be made ; it was, perhaps, rather a rash and forward thin(' to do ; but, however, there was nothing unnatural in the grouping that I perceived, and there it stands. The error was made in the press, and singularly enough all the London papers made the same mistake. I never proposed, or I never suggested, that Tyne mouth should be coupled with Berwick-upon- Tweed ; the borough which I did suggest to be coupled with Berwick was Morpeth and not Tyne mouth. I did not think that it was at all unnatural to group those two boroughs of Morpeth and Ber wick together." The meeting was addressed by Mr. J. 11. Hinde, Mr. It. Edie, and other gentle men, and the proceedings were enlivened with music. RACING CASUALTIES.--The Journal de Maine et Loire relates the circumstances of a fatal accident which took place in the secondday's racing at Saumur. In the hurdle race, at the last turn before reaching the stands in the run home, five horses bolted and rushed to the side whore there was a great throng of spectators. In the gene ral sauce qui pent that ensued one Cochard, of Chartzes `Cvas knocked down by the hoz se of Lientenant Billerat, of the 9th Cuirassiers, receiving a contusion in the head and a fracture of two of his ribs. The lieutenant was pitched heavily forward on the gronnd, and had his collar bone broken, with a determination of blood to the head. At the same moment; and nearly in the same spot, Lieut. do 131:dialog also had a bad fall, and broke his collar-bone. He is not, however, in any danger. Assistance was imme diately procured and the first attentions were paid to the three wounded men by Dr. Trudau, surgeon-in-chief of the military school. Lieutenant Billerat succumbed the next evening to the injuries which he had received with out ever having regained possession of his senses. IRRITABLE PEOPLE.—Sergeant Penguin was early at his chambers next day, to the rage of his laun dress, who, after the manner of her class, considered her self personally wronged if her employer took the liberty of altering the hour of arriving at his own chambers. "Real gentlemen never did those things," was her remark to an assenting friend, whose ideal of realism, in this respect, was an elderly young gentleman, who lived in his rooms, never rose till twelve, and then went to his club to breakfast, returning more or less sober in the hours which it used to be considered clever to call small, and who never checked her red account-book—lets, however, from absolute faith in her. than from a want of acquaint ance with rudimentary arithmetic. But the Sergeant was unconscious of the offence he had given, and this was lucky for the injured person, for Penguin was not of a disposition to encourage liberties in his inferiors, except politically. He was as unreasonably angry because Mr. Horsham had not arrived half an hour before the time, and wasted sundry imprecations on clerks who could not sleep near their business, but must live at Stoke Newing ton. " Devil stoke Stoke Newington," and Serjoant Penguin. " I never lived at Stoke Newington when I was a young man. Islington was good enough for me. He'll be living at Stoke Pogos next, I suppose." But the word reminded him of Gray's Elegy, and he soon began to quote it, and quoting at any length will restore anybody to good temper. The youth's head had not begun to rest upon the lap of earth when Mr. Horsham arrived—and was re ceived affably.—" Sooner or Later," by Shirley Brooks. THE ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM DOCKYARD. — The caisson which met with the accident at the entrance to No. 4 Dock at an early hour on Saturday morning was yesterday afternoon removed to one of the building slips, whore it will undergo the necessary repairs before being again used. The survey of the caisson since the occur rence has led to the discovery that the accident was occa sioned by a portion of the bottom of the caisson being rotten.
