(Before the Common Sergeant.) A LUNATIC IN COURT. Amongst the prisoners brought up to plead this morning was a short yet powerful-looking man named James Davis, a labourer, who stood indicted with unlawfully attempting to steal a watch, the property of Anthony Arm strong, from his person. Immediately the prisoner made his appearance in the dock he became violently excited,and began stamping and striking about with his arms and calling . out, " Now then," " This way," " Here she is," at the top of his voice. The warders attempted to secure him, but be fore such could be done, he dashed his lists through two of the squares of glass on the left hand side of the dock. After a very severe struggle he was secured, and then the Common Sergeant directed that he should be taken to Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of Newgate. Another struggle took place to remove the prisoner. In a short time he was again placed in the dock with his hands firmly secured, but still he conducted him self in the same violent manner as before. Mr. Gibson informed the jury that since the imprison ment of the prisoner in July he had been subject to fits, such as those he was now in, and during the duration of the attacks he became a raving maniac. The Common Sergeant asked whether he was in a fit state to plead. The Surgeon replied that he was not, and that he was at le present moment in an unsound state of mind. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. THE BETTING IN BRIDI-LANE. The grand jury this morning returned a true bill against Nowcome, Powter, Scarrett, and Wale, for misdemeanour. THE CASE OF THE BARON DE VIDIL. In the course of yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury came into this court and returned a true bill against Alfred Louis Pons de Vidil for feloniously assaulting Alfred John de Vidil, with intent to murder him. The indictment also contains counts charging an intent to maim and disable and to do grievous bodily harm. The son of the prisoner was not called as a witness before the Grand Jury. An applica tion will, no doubt, be made to the judges on Wednesday to fix a day for the trial. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Thomas Stamford, clerk, 43, whose trial was postponed from the last, session, was indicted for embezzling and steal ing several sums of money, the property of the South- Western Railway Company. The trial was devoid of public interest, and was proceed ing when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Commissioner Kerr.) COUNTERFEIT COIN. Richard Martin, 20, shoemaker, was indicted for feloni ously having in his possession counterfeit coin, well know ing the same, will intent to utter, &c. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The evidence of Brennan, the policeman attached to the Mint, and others, clearly proved the offence, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Brennan said the prisoner was the associate of " smashers," and he was afraid he had become infected with passing counterfeit coin. The profit was so great and the risk so small, that when once a person " took" to it they seldom could leave it off. The prisoner said he wished to bo transported. The Commissioner said he did not feel inclined to pass such a sentence, but he would do what he could towards removing the prisoner from his bad companions for some considerable time. He then sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. APPLICATION FOR A PROTECTION ORDER.-Mr. Vaughan, solicitor, applied to Mr. Mansfield for a protec tion order on behalf of Mrs. Ann Addey. Mrs. Addey said she resided at No. 2, North. terrace, South-street, and was the wife of William Addey, whom she married on the 22d Sept. 1851. She had three chil children. On ths 28th Nov., 1854, her husband left her and never returned, and she believed he had gone to Aus tralia. She had received no money from him, neither had he written to her. She had since her husband had doserted her held a situation as houskeeper, and acquired a little property, which she wished protected. Mr. Mansfield being satisfied with the answers received, granted the order prayed. DESTROYING WORKHOUSE WINDOWS.—Throe ill looking women named Fanny Crouch, Emma Cole, and Mary Smith, were charged with creating a disturbance at St. Martin's Workhouse, and breaking several panes of glass. Michael Brennan, the porter of the workhouse, said that about nine the previous night he was informed the pri soners were creating a disturbance and breaking the win dows. On going out the prisoners had just finished their : ,), work of destruction, and Itsikysio i tot to say, women ged having done it. C T „i Mr. AT aubfleld- NVI-7.1 have go 1, ,- the windows to De taken in. Cole—l've nothing to say. Mr. ➢lansfield—There is no excuse whatever for your conduct. There is plenty of work in the fields, at hopping and harvest work, in - stead of lying about idling, is order to be kept out of the poor rates paid by hard-struggling rate payers. You must pay 145. each, the damage, or 2 months' each. Smith, who as well as Cole, has been in prison on seve ral me iSions, said in a derisive Tr anner—" Thank you." THAMES. A MAN SHOT BY A VOLUNTEER.—Thomas Payne, a working man, applied to Mr. Woolrych under the follow ing circumstances. He stated that he was in the Victoria park on Saturday last looking at some volunteers who were at drill. They fired a volley with blank cartridge, and at the same time he was struck on the head, and was rendered in sensible for five minutes. A blank cartridge went through a leather cap he was wearing, and struck him on the fore head. He was much hurt and had been under medical treatment ever since. He was continually bathing his forehead on Sunday and again yesterday. He was some distance from the volunteers when they fired, and as he thought out of the range of blank shot. Mr. Woolrych said that Victoria-park was not in his jurisdiction, and if it was he did not see how he could in terfere, or what law there was to meet such a case. Payne said a man lost his eye under similar circum stances at a Volunteer Review in the country, and .if the blank cartridge had struck his eye he should have lost the sight of it. Mr. Woolrych—When volunteers are practising and firing spectators must keep a respectful distance, and then no harm will arise. Payne then left the court. JACK ON A LEE SHORE.—Elizabeth Smith, a woman of the town, well known to the police of the K division, was brought before Mr. Woolrycb, charged with stealing a silver watch, a gold albert guard, two silk handkerchiefs, a gold ring, and a silk umbrella, the property of William Smith, a seaman, at an infamous den, No. 1 Philip-street, St. George's-in-East, and close to the Shadwell railway station. The seaman fell in with the prisoner, and after he had treated her with sundry glasses of grog, she invited him to her lodgings, and no sooner had he arrived there than the woman of the place asked him far drink. He sent for porter, and what was given to him was no doubt drugged a two silk handkerchiefs, a He " sung out" lus • for directly he had partaken of a glass of it, he felt very badly and sick, threw himself on a bed, and became stupi fied. He recovered in about a quarter of an hour , and missed h g old ring from his finger, and his silk umbrella, which he had tily for a police cqnstable, and one soon arrived, and took the prisoner into custody. o only i s purchasedwatc hni an appendages, hour before. All the sailor's property was found concealed behind a large box, with the exception of tb e gold ring, which has not been recovered. Inspector Allison, of the K division, an officer of great experience, said the women in the infamous dens of St. George's-in-the-East, Whitechapel, Shadwell, and Step ney, were in the practice of hocussing sailors, for the pur pose of more easily robbing them. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Woolrych sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. SERVICES OF THE LIZARD LIFEBOAT.—LLANDE WEDNACK, CORNWALL, AUGUST 16.—Information was received here a few days since that a schooner was in a very dangerous position, near the Old Li zar d H ea d. There was a dense fog at the time, and a heavy ground swell. The lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Associa tion, stationed at the Lizard, was immediately launched, and proceeded to the assistance of the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Hurrell, of Penzance, from Cardiff to Penrhyn. She was found in a very critical position, within a cable's length of a precipitous cliff ahead, and, on either side, high and dangerous rocks. The crew cf the schooner, four in number, had collected their clothing, and were about to leave her in their own punt, when the life boat arrived alongside, and, had they done so, they would not, in all probability, have reached the shore alive, as the passage between the scattered rocks and the shore is most intricate. At the request of the master, the lifeboat re mained alongside during the night, and at daylight suc ceeded in warping the vessel clear of the rocks, and in anchoring her in a secure position. A deplorable event occurred on Saturday last in the wood of Vincennes. A violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain having suddenly broken over the part of the wood near Nogent-sur-Marne, several labourers who were at work imprudently placed themselves beneath a large tree. The lightning, attracted by the tree, struck two of the men, killibg one on the spot, land injuring the other so much that h e died in a few hours. It is remark able that whilst this storm was raging a few miles off, the sky in Paris was unclouded. The According to certain clerical journals, S M.

The attendance this afternoon was unusually large. The primary business on hand, the settling on the recent Wolverhampton and Reading meetings, as usual engrossed the entire attention of the subscribers. Money happily ap peared to be plentiful, and the exchange passed over, we are glad to record, with little, if any, cause of complaint. Towards the close of the room a few of the active members introduced business upon future events, having discharged the liabilities of the past, and which, after some clever finessing, assumed an air of importance. 'The first event on hand, the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Egham, was but slightly meddled with, Claire from her light impost being supported at Bto 1 for £SO. The Ebor Handicap, which at one period appeared to promise but a limited opportunity to the bookmakers for the use of their pencils, received an im petus from the demonstration made in the city in the morn ing against Stockade, who at one period receded from the position of first favourite at 6 to 1 to 30 to 1 offered ; but as the day advanced the fusilade cooled down, and the highest offer we could find the boldest make against the Malton candidate was 100 to 6, but which met with no re sponse, although many of the supporters of the stable were present. Virgilius in consequence of this opposition met with increased support, his friends eagerly accepting the opening price, and at the close 5 to 1 was taken to some money. Lady Trespass was in force, and backed to win some thousands, at her " upset" price, but at last her opponents became a little more careful,' and 7 to 1 could with diffi culty be obtained at the finish. Moorcock, her stable com panion, was inquired after, and at 100 to 7 was supported for upwards of £ioo. Cape Flyaway was backed at 100 to 8 for "half a century." THE ST. LEGER.—Kettledrum was extremely buoyant, his friends appearing in earnest, 6 to 2, his opening price, being readily taken, and at one period of the afternoon as little as 70 to 40 was taken about him, but at last 2 to 1, although taken to money, could have been obtained. 12 to 1 each was taken about Lady Ripon and Kildonan, and 100 to 6 each Dictator and Big Ben, but only to small amounts. Imaus and Janus were supported in well-in formed quarters at 20 to 1 for upwards of £2OO or £3OO, and arasite at 50 to 1. THE DERBY.—Alvediston had a friend step in who took 25 to 1 to " a pony" about him, and Patriot was inquired :after and 40 to 1 noted down. 5,000 to 50 was laid against Peignoir, and 1,000 to 5 agst Earl of Surrey.

IsTotwithstanding the fact that the afternoon was anything but favourable for out-door amusements, the attendance was exceedingly large, though the racing was of a very inferior quality. Indeed, with the exception of the Wilton Cup, there was nothing whatever decided which calls for com ment. Out of four runners for the principal event, two were furnished by Mr. Cliff's stable; one of whom, however (Twinkle), was started to make pace for Nosegay, with whom Mr. Wright declared to win. The issue was never in doubt, for the pair had their opponents safe throughout, and Nosegay won in a canter. We append full details of the sport, which commenced with— The Stand Plate (handicap) of 30 sous for all ages. Six Mr. v, • furlongs. Mr. Reed's Cumberlanc, Mr. Jones's Forester, 2 yrs,ssc nID (cat ( ."2lEaers (Barlow) 3 Mr. Coburn's North Lancashire, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b. • (Page) 4 Mr. Smith's Sheffield, 5 yrs, Bst 91b (Smethurst) 5 Betting-2 to 1 each agst Twinkle and Forester, 3to 1 agst Cumberland, and 4 to 1 agst Sheffield.—Cumberland jumped off in advance, and with Forester and Twinkle next, came on to the straight. At the distance Forester fell back beaten, and Twinkle giving Cumberland the "go by," she came on at her ease, and won in a canter by a length and a half ; half a length separated the second and third, and Sheffield whipped in throughout. The Maiden Plate of 3 sous each, with 20 added, for horses that never won £5O at any one time on the flat. Abut one mile and a quarter. Mr. Osborne's Dubious, 3 yrs, 7st 71b (Challoner) 1 Mr. Mills's Sinnaird, 3 yrs, 7st (J. Harrison) 2 Mr. Riddell's Goldbeck, 3 yrs, 6st 111 b.. (H. Grimshaw) 3 Betting-2 to lon Dubious, 3to 1 agst Itinnaird, and 4 to 1 agst Goldbeck.—Dubious made all the running, the other ir following him as placed, and he won easily by a length pa, the same distance between the second and third horses. The Wilton Cup of 50 soya in specie, added to a handicap sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. About one mile and a half. Mr. 'Wright's Nosegay, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b (Gardiner) 1 Mr. Chilton's Rosamond, 4 yrs, Bst (Challoner) 2 Mr. Wright's Twinkle, 3 yrs, 6st (H. Taylor) 3 Mr. Buckley's Wynnstay, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b (H. Grimshaw) 4 Betting- 6 to 4 agst Wynnstay, 7to 4 agst Nosegay, and 2to 1 agst Rosamond. Nosegay, with Rosamond in attendance, Wynnstay lying last, made play to the straight, where Twinkle, who was started to serve her stable companion, rushed through her horses, and made strong running past the Stand, followed by Nosegay and Rosamond, the favourite being still last. In making the top turn Wynnstay slipped up, and was all but down on his side, which lost him several lengths. Grimshaw, however, got him up in a moment, and he was soon in pursuit of the leaders. Twinkle gave way to her stable companion at the half-mile post, at which point Nosegay bore his colours to the fore ; and, although challenged by Rosamond at the distance, the latter failed to get up, and she was beaten very easily by a length. Both Twinkle and Wynnstay passed the post pulling up. The Heaton Park Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all ages. One mile. Mr. Wright's Knutsford, 3 yrs, Cat 121 b (Taylor) 1 Mr. Bates's Rajah Brooke, 4 yrs, 7st 41b (H. Grimshaw) 2 Mr. Riddell's Rose, 3 yrs, Est 41b .

Knutsford made all the running, followed along the back side by North Lancashire and Rose. At the half mile post the latter pair were beaten, and Rajah Brooke took second place. Knutsford, however, held his own throughout, and won in a canter by a length. There were three lengths between the second and third horses. The Selling Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for al' ages. Once round and a distance. Mr. Osborne's Dubious, 3 yrs, 7st 71b....(Challoner) w.o BETTING ON THE COURSE.

The sport on the moors has been quite equal to the average of years, and would have been very much better but for the fact that the young birds are un usually strong and wild. The weather also was exceedingly unfavourable.—lnverness Courier. -- EXTRAORDINARY DOG. At Aldershot Camp there is a large spaniel belonging to a sergeant in the Royal Artillery, who has been taught by his master, during tedious days of camp life, to perform tricks that are almost marvellous. The dog is perfect in his drill, marching slow, quick, and at the double, in obedience to the word of command. After he had been put through his paces, his master called him up and asked his opinion of the various regiments on the ground. Were the Plungers the best corps ?—no signs of approval. Were the 42d Foot ? silence on the part of the dog. After going over half-a dozen names the master asked, exactly in the same tone as that in ,which he put his previous questions, the dog's opinion of the Royal Artillery. He instantly burst out into 1 a loud joyous barking, jumping about, and rolling. The 1 serge ant then called for three cheers for the King of Prussia —no sounds ; three cheers for the King of Naples—a low growl; three cheers for the Emperor of Austria—silence again ; three cheers for the Queen of E ng land—such a volley of resounding barks that echoed again SOUTH - LA NC.ASIT Ri ELECTION. OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL. In accordance with previous announcement, the High Sheriff of Lancashire made a declaration of the poll for the Southern Division of the county at one o'clock yesterday at Newton-in-the-Willows. There was not a very numerous attendance on the occasion, nearly all present being of the Conserva tive side. On the hustings the friends of Mr. Turner mustered in considerable numbers, among whom were—Sir R. Gerrard, Gen. Lindsay, M.P., Capt. Hesketh, Major Bourne, Mr. Lawrence Peel, Mr. R. H. Norreys, Mr. S. B. Lloyd, Mr. G. Arkle, &c. Sir H. DR TRAFFORD, the High Sheriff, said that, having duly computed the votes, he found that 9,714 had been recorded in favour of Mr. Turner, and 8,898 in favour of Mr. Cheetham, giving a majority of 816 for Mr. Turner, whom he therefore declared as duly elected the third knight of the shire for South Lancashire. Mr. TURNER, on presenting himself, was received with loud cheers. He said he begged most sincerely to thank the electors for the proud position in which he had been placed. The contest which had just terminated had been one of the severest which had ever been recorded in this or any other coun ty; indeed, he believed the number of votes which had been recorded in his favour had only been out numbered in two other instances in the kingdom. He begged to repeat what he had stated on Wed nesday, that he did not think this had been a struggle personal to himself and Mr. Cheetham, but one in which the electors had resolved to show that they were determined to uphold those gradual and progressive improvements of the constitution which would have a tendency to render it perfect, and to reject those proposals which had a direct tendency to effect a separation between Church and State, to establish vote by ballot, and to introduce into this country the democratic principles which had been productive of so much and such unfortu nate differences in America. (Cheers.) Now that the contest had been ended, he begged to assure the electors that he should consider himself as the representative of the constituency of the county, and not as of any section of them. He should take care that he would make no difference as to whether gentlemen had supported or opposed him. (Cheers.) He trusted, now that the contest was over, that whatever heat might have b een engen d ere d d u ring the conflict would now be f orgo t ten . H o b e li eve d that although, in the warmth of opposition, things had been done and things had been said probably OD both sides, and by the subordinate agents of each party which ought not to have been said and ought not to have been done, on the wh o l e th e election had been conducted in a fair and honour able manner on both sides. In conclusion, he again thanked them for the proud position in which he had been placed. Mr. It. H. NORREYS said, in answer to the im putation which had been most unwarrantably cast upon him by Mr. Cheetham as a renegade from his father's principles, he most distinctly stated that his father, although a Whi g , —a Constitutional Whig—had never been con. netted with the League ; on the contrary, he had repudiated and opposed the proceedings of that body, as subversive of what he looked upon as the best interests of the country. lie himself had never been connected with the League in any shape or way, and he denied most emphatically that he was a renegade to the principles held by his father, or had in any way deserted his own. • Mr. TURNER then moved, and Mr. NORREYS seconded, a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, which was passed by acclamation, and, having been briefly acknowledged by Sir H. DE TRAFFORD, the proceedings terminated. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

The advices from New York mention the failure of Messrs. Clafflin, Millen, and Co., reputed to be the largest jobbing•house in that city, with liabilities estimated to exceed £600,000. The assets are stated at two-thirds that amount. A most destructive fire took place at North Shields early on Sunday morning, destroying the entire stock of two drapers, and injuring rather seriously the ad jacent property. It is stated that the loss will not be less than £lO,OOO. Private letters from Hamburg convey to us the • intelligence that the King of Denmark, vexed and irritated by Prussian rancour, has resolved to set aside the provi sions of the Treaty of London, and proposes to make the King of Sweden his heir, in lieu of the Prince of Glucks bourg. A serious fire, resulting in the destruction of pro en perty to the extent of about £6,000, occurred early turday mrning, in Long Mitigate, M an chester. The fire o broke out in the " Old Irk Cotton Mills"—a block of build ings used as cotton waste stores. The main warehouse was reduced to a complete wreck. The roof and walls fell in, and we regret to have to state that several of the firemen were seriously bruised by the falling bricks. A PECULIAR MATCH.—At Tramore, the other day, a peculiar match came off. The match, which was for £lOO a-side, consisted of the following :—The Clown, eh. g., the property of Captain M'Craiths, was to be ridden by himself and an officer of the 14th Regiment (united weight 22st. 51b.), against the Baron, a celebrated hunter for speed and swiftness, to ba ridden by the owner, and weighed at 18 stone—distance, two miles over the flat. On the day of the race a vast assemblage of people, who.. had heard of the coming event, assembled on the couree—when, 10, and behold I after a well-contested race, the Clown entered the weighing-yard with his two mounted friends, a midst a scene of unc' Jntrolled hilarity, not slightly enhance" b y the waving c 1f pocket handkerchiefs and the cheers of the crowd, bev l ildered by the extraordinary denouementiv-. Clonniii f Aronick. E iUPERIAL FETE. The following is a description, abridged from Galignani, of the Imperial Fete which took place at Paris on Thursday last e—The Emperor's Fete was celebrated on Thursday, and, though the ab hence of his Majesty and the Emprese from Paris deprived it of one of its main elements of attrac tion, went off with great eclat. A fete iu France would be considered incomplete unless ushered in with great expenditure of gunpowder, and accord ingly, at six o'clock in the morning, the boom of the guns of the Invalides, ringing out through the . clear, still atmosphere of the yet slumbering city, intimated to the Parisians that the anniversary of the national holiday had come round once more, and that the fete had officially commenced. The public rejoicings did not, of course, begin until a much later hour, but as the morning wore on excur sion trains from every part of the country p oure d their living freight into the capital, crowding the streets and the Champs Elysees withleieturesque specimens of provincial and foreign costume, among which the tall caps of Normandy and great varieties of that popular but hideous head gear, the " pork pie" hat, far outnumbered the rest. While the foreign and provincial visitors wandered about, seeing the lions, and breakfasted al fresco in front of cafes and wine-shops, the first, and though the least brilliant, far from the least interesting, por tion of the programme was being gone through by the authorities—the distribution of food and alms to the aged and indigent of the various Mairies anti Bureaux de Bienfaisance. At about 10 o'clock the old soldiers of the First Empire assembled in the Place Vendome. They marched round the pillar, each laying a crown of immortelles at the foot of their hero's statue. This muster of the survivors of the Grand Armee formed a melancholy and touching episode amon g the sights of the day. Accord ing to annual custom, they all dined together in this evening. At 1 o'clock a :re _Num was celebrated at Notre Dame, at which all the great bodies of the State were present. Services of a similar character took place in all the other churches. At the same hour the principal theatres gratuitously threw open their doors to the lovers of the drama—the popula tion of the manufacturing quarters showing, as uaial, a marked predilection for the performances of the Theatre Francais, where classic tragedies are performed on these occasions, which few French men, however humble their station, are not ac quainted with. The attention they paid to the per formance might be imitated with advantage by better-dressed audiences. In addition to the theatres the Hippodrome and the Circus in the Champs Elysees were filled to overflowing, and the instru mental concert in the Exhibition building was at tended by a crowd that evidently both enjoyed and appreciated what they heard. These amusements, however, absorbed only a small portion of the sight seers. For the great mass the fete would be a dis appointment were the favourite "grand spectacles militaires, mats de cocagne," &c., to be omitted. The military spectacles consist of two huge booths, on the boards of which the skill of the scene-pain ter represents some intensely impregnable-looking fortress ; a good deal of gunpowder is expended, and after some desperately sharp skirmishing, the French goes in and wins. Yesterday the luckless Cochin-Chinese received a further lesson at the hands of the Troupier Francais. Near the Military Theatre, four Mats de Cocagnes exhibited their well-soaped proportions, surmounted by the usual array of prizes. On the river there were rowing matches, of the merit of which there is but little to be said. The best sport in the water was afforded by a tilting match. Each champion stands on a platform in the bows of a yawl, armed with a long pole, with a kind of mop at the end. At a given signal the boats row against each other, and each champion tries to push his opponent into the water. In many instances both were successful, to the great merriment of the multitude. Considering the temperature on the quay, the ducking must have been rather pleasant than otherwise. Nine o'clock was the time fixed for the fireworks, and as that hour approached crowds might be seen wending their way towards the Trocadero to see what mar vels the prince of pyrotechnists, Ruggieri, had prepared for their amusement. Precisely at the appointed hour the first signal rocket was seen rising in the air, and in a moment after a brilliant flight of those projectiles followed which, on burst ing, displayed the national colours—blue, white, and red. After these had disappeared a dazzling column of light burst into view, surmounted by a large eagle, and the initial of the Emperor. On. its subsiding, the smoke had hardly been swept away by the breeze when the whole of the Pont de Jena started into a blaze of light from a gigantic cascade of fire, the effect of which. w hen,„enea-aese Mllistmelstert2af-a representation of the Summer Palace of the Emperor of China, at Pekin, which, it may be remembered, was sacked and destroyed during the late war by the allied troops. This build ing was described as of miles in extent. Its repre sentation in variously coloured fire was on a com mensurate scale, presenting a facade of more than 200 yards—a more brilliant specimen of the pyrotechnic art has never been produced. The fires of constantly changing hues, the bouquets, and the thousand other imitations of Chinese •ornamentation, alto can give an idea, and which reflects the hi g hest gether produced an effect of w hich no descri p tion credit on the celebrated artist. The illuminations commenced at nightfall, and were one of the prin cipal attractions of the fete. The most important of them were at the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, and there vast crowds collected. All the public buildings were more or less gorgeously illuminated- All the foreign embassies were also illuminated. The facade of the residence of the English Ambas sador, in the Faubourg St. Honore, displayed an imperial crown, the letters " N. and E.," and a wreath, all on a large scale, and all in gas. All the theatres and club-houses, together with a vast num ber of private houses in different parts of the town, were likewise illuminated. The new Parc de Mon ceaux, which has been laid out with exquisite taste, was also splendidly illuminated. The whole scene was worthy of fairy land. The weather was mag nificent. The crowds which collected to see the fire works and illuminations were immense ; but owing to the admirable arrangements m ade b y the autho rities, no accident and no confusion occurred STATISTICS OF FRANCE. The " Statistics of France," an important and voluminous work, published a few days since by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, con tains some interesting details respecting the move mentwhich 18,155 of the population in the years 1855, 1856, the Seine • 70 153 in and 1857. It appears that the number of mar l:2o2 in the rural were in the department of districts. The tables show that marriages are p.oportionably more numerous in large towns than in the country ; and the number of mar riages, instead of decreasing, as some persons suppose, is gradually i that 14 per cent.o creasing. It also appears f widowers marry again, and only 7 per cent . of the widows. Second mar riages are also more frequent in towns than in the country. In the department of the Seine one out of every eleven women marries a second time, in the rural districts one out of thirteen. The dis proportion of age between married persons is much greater in the Seine than in the rural dis tricts. This has given rise to an interesting ob servation relative to the proportion between the sexes. The returns of births show that the ptr ro portion of male children is greater in the y than in towns, for the years 1853-57. If this difference should continue to manifest itself with the same regularity it would seem to show that the greater number of boys are born of parents whose ages are nearly the same. In 1856 the average duration of wedded life ;in France w as twenty-five years ; in 1836, it was only twenty three years and 2 months, and all the intermediate years show a slight increase. One-third Of the men, and about half of the women yearly marri • ed are unable to sign their names. I n the S • eine, how ever, only one man in nineteen, and one woman i n , six are unable to write ; the populations of pro vincial towns hold an intermediate posi • tion between the Seine and the rural populations. The propor tion of children born out of wedlock and legitimated by the subsequent marriage of their parents is much greater in the Seine than in provincial towns, and smallest of all in the rural districts. --- FALL OF A BRIDGE ON THE CHESHIRE MID. LAND RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, a little before four o'clock in the afternoon, the bridge which was in course of construc tion over the river Bollin (about a mile from the Bowden Station, on the Cheshire Midland Railway) fell in with a fearful crash. The debris entirely blocked up the water way of the river. It appears that the centres supporting the arch had been " struck" or " eased" some days since, and the contractors were locking up the arch of the bridge on the north side of the river with earth, whilst on the opposite or southern side some 12 or 14 feet of filling still remained to be done before reaching the crown of the arch. This is understood to be the cause of accident —filling up one side of the bridge before the other. Four persons only, out of about 30, happened to be on the bridge at the time of the accident, all of whom were precipitated some 30 feet among b roken c e n tres and thousan ds of bricks. These four persons were more or less injured, but only one seriously. The damage done will amount to several hun dred pounds, and the progress of the works at the Bowden end of the line will be slightly delayed in conf.equeuc e ° f the accident. P
