The one was a fighting sod the other a holiday sword, and the noble lord ex vessed his hope that for the sake of civilisation and hu sianity the gallant offer might hereafter wield only the 'andy weapon. At the same time he expressed his con idence that if her Majesty should again require the ser vices of her army, General Windham would not draw he fighting sword in vain, hut would give fresh cause 'or pride to the inhabitants of the county. (Loud cheers ) The health of the gallant general was then drunk amid enthusiastic cheering. Major-General WINDHAM, who was received with fresh bursts of applause, returned thanks. After alluding to his associations with the county and his long friend. ship with many then present, be observed, I well re member an incident on the 18th of June, 1855, when the iret attack on the Redan took place, which shows strongly the attachment of Norfolk men to their county. [ was not what you would call employed in the attack. was merely put there in reserve, and I did not run a bit more danger than any of my friends whom Isee around ne. I was sent at one time by Sir H. Bentinok to find out what was going on, and two or three yards ahead o 1 me I saw a man walking in the trench. A round shot cause and scattered the dust all over him. I thought it sad killed him, but when the dust subsided I saw an in dividual reclining in the trench, with a countenance pre -enting a curious admixture of fright and joy. Scratch mg his head be said to me, " Well, dash my buttons but that was most amazin' nigh !" (Laughter.) I said to him, " Aye, aye, my boy, we had better be digging . reaches at threepence a rad in Norfolk than fighting here." The only reply was an expression of astonish meet that I should have discovered his native county. " What du yow to belong to Norfolk 2 " (The success ful manner in which the gallant general mimicked the Norfolk patois excited bursts of laughter.) Lord Albe marle has been pleased to pay me some vary great com pliments as chief of the staff. I honestly tell you, as I told the inhabitants of Leamington, that that office was not nearly so difficult as many would be inclined to think. I had, both at head -quarters and also in the divi sions of the army, a remarkably able lot of young officers to carry out any oriers which the Cuintnander-in-Chief issued ; and though I k now it i s t h e ha b it, not of the press but of individuals who are in the habit of writing in the papers to constantly insinuate that every Bri tish staff officer is something next door to a fool, I beg leave to tell you that in my humble opinion after a fey, months' practice, which at the commencement of the war they undoubtedly required, they were just as efficient and just as good as the officers of the French service. I will appeal in support of this rem ar k t o th e appearance'of th e two armies at the conclusion of the las:, winter. The magnificent appearance of the army, gentlemen, has nothing to do with mes I left the gene rals of divi s i on a l one, and i t is a remarkably good thing for any young soldier to know that you had better by far let a man do his duty without constantly interfering with him. (Cheers.) If I deserve any credit at all, it is because I allowed those who sought to do their duty to do it without interference. (Cheers.) I hope there is no officer on the staff who can ever say that I either gave myself airs, gave him a cold shoulder, or refused to listen to what he had to say, and that I did not im mediately do all in my power to make what he wanted go smooth and easy. The instant I saw he was in clined to do his duty properly, it did not matter much to me whether he took his own method of doing it or mine, provided it was well done. (Cheers.) I believe I should say too much for human nature if I were to say there was no kind of jealousy at my promotion ; but I must honestly say that many of those over whose heads I have gone in the Crimea showed me personally no jealousy. One of the best as well as one of the oldest soldiers connected with the army there, Major-General Garrett, who served in the Peninsula when I. was in my cradle, and who has been twice wounded, came up to me after my promotion bad been announced, threw his arms, not like a Frenchman round my neck, but like an Englishman round my shoulder, and, patting me on the back, said, " Well, old fellow, I am charmed at it ; they tent you through a devil of a fire, but you did it well, and I should be un worthy of myself if I felt jealous." That fine old soldier has not been promoted, but most anxiously do I hope that both he and many others will be, for I am not one of those who wish merely to get on myself. I wish to do so, of course, but I wish also that others who have done—barring the luck—just as much service as I have, should, at the end of this great war, meet with some re ward. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave the other Crimean Heroes con nected with Norfolk. The noble lord, in calling on Col. Hodge to return thanks, referred to his brilliant services at Balaklava. Colonel Holm responded to the toast, which was drunk with loud cheers. Major-General WINDHAM, in proposing "Our Allies," said they bad always acted 'with the greatest cordiality and good feeling. The gallant general mentioned inci dentally that a week before the assault on the Redan there was no intention on the part of either French or English to make the attack. When the French, how ever, decided on making the attack, the English Com mander-in-Chief could not do otherwise than allow the British army to partake iu it. He (Gen. Windham) had never heard any French officer reproach the British with the results of their attack, and he might fairly say that the French had never exhibited any disrespect towards us. The CHAIRMAN, in giving the memory of the brave who had fallen in the war, referred to the melancholy deaths of Lieut. Boileau and Lieut. Sparke, both mem• hers of Norfolk families. The toast was drunk in silence. Viscount BURT (son of the chairman), gave " Miss Nightingale and the ladies who have served their coun try abroad and at home." (Loud cheers.) Lord LIIFFIRLD prOposed the health's of Mrs. Windham and her sons. (Loud cheers.) Major• General WINDHAM responded. Several other toasts of a formal character were given and responded to, and the company did not separate till a late hour. CURIOUS COMPOSITION.—The following is a copy of an advertisement published by the magistrates of a town in the north of England, to announce the pu rc h ase o f a fire-engine—" Whereas an unaccountable multiplication of dangers is oftentimes occurred by damage of outrageous accidences by fire, we whose names is hereunto prefixed, have thought proper that the benefit of an Indian bought by us for the better putting out of which, by the Providence of that gracious goodness, which may unto us happen, to make a rate to gather from Subscriptions in the aforesaid parishes for the better propagating of such useful instruments in such eminent cases of ne cessity. SUICIDE IN A BARBERS SHOP.-0o Saturday morning. at about half-past 7 o'clock, a middle-aged man entered the shop of Mr. Rose, a hairdresser, on St. Andrew's bill, City, and said he wished to be shaved. Mr. Rose's daughter was in the shop, and she said that her father would attend upon him in about a couple of minutes. He said it did not matter, and that he would shave him self. He immediately took a razor from the mantel•shelf, and going to a corner of the room where there was a stand containing a basin, with one desperate cut he nearly severed his head from his body. An alarm was given by the daughter, and several persons were soon in attendance, but life was extinct. Upon searching his clothes nothing was found upon him to give the slightest clue as to who the man was, only 54d. in copper being i n his possession. He was about 36 years of age, 6 feet in height, with auburn coloured hair and bushy whit. kers. Oil his left arm are the letter B and a star, and on the right Adam and Eve and a tree, and a mole on th , forehead. He was dressed in a dark check coat, grey waistcoat, black trowsers, and Wellington boots. Thc body was removed to the dead house, Holliday-yard, to await a coroner's inquest. REFORM IN _TII.B GOVERNMENT ' OFFICES. It seems strange enough that in thiafree country, famous chiefly for skill in politics and for success in planting its race and institutions throughout the globe, the service: of Government aheuld enter so little into men's thoughts when, at the outset of life, they look about them for a career. Ho* seldom do parents or friends in their advice to the aeboolboy hold out to him the honours and promotions Ota public department as an incentive to exertion f Pais the great multitude of the active and energetic thee** business in its many forms, the prospect of gainintahompetence or amassing wealth in the walks of private life, without any further interference with national affaice-then is involved in sit ting on a jury or adrninisterinitrimary justice as a town magistrate. Then there are- professions, more or less well paid, for the ambitious eibh will take their chance. Considering that the bar, al( a body, probably spends more than it earns —that theOhurch, without some pri vate fortune or positive aesurihee of preferment, holds out but a hard lot—that in medicine the extensive prac tice, with its rewards and fesne, is a rare prize, it is wonderful with what an unfailing stream the educated middle class swell the old legitimate pr o fessions. For these the public sc h oo l , thi tutor,the university give their instruction ; threligh , hope of success in these men of genius, educattim, and energy are con tent to pass the flower of . their youth in 'sev ere toil and still mor e weary waitPog—with what results of disappointment and bitternessils too well known. Yet, whether. the Englishman look to business or profes sional life, he still thinks onlihf a private career. It is not, as in some foreign con 'es, where a risen must form part of the m ac hi ne of SZa ate or be - E . tetit inferiority. Here people olt , " -bii emonw -the governett , " in& pu is a airs 'td be ad ministered by whoever may gain access to them and seize on those crumbs of patronage which it is not al lowed to every one to reach. Such has been the state of things in England, and such it is even now ; but already there are symptoms of a great change. People begin to recognise both their rights and duties. In the first place the professions are overstocked, and there is a yearly increasing class of men issuing from our improved places of education, who are by culture and tone of mind averse from the pursuit of trade. The public service of the present day, re quiring no mean powers of mind, and presenting, if not the prospect of wealth, yet the certainty of a mainten ance, the assurance of an honourable and perhaps a high position, together with the chance of great influence for doing good and the gratification of a praiseworthy am bition, becomes more and more "a great fact" to the community at large; and not only are a more highly en dowed body of men anxioes for admission into official life, but the public, which cares only for the proper administration of its affairs, is disposed to second their aspirations. The nation at large feel that they have stood too long apart from the proceedings of the official world. The inhabitants of a country like ours cannot safely look upon themselves merely as individuals thrown together by chance, and only concerned each man with his own pursuit of wealth or pleasure. They cannot be content with merely demanding security of life and property and the repeal of restrictive' laws, leaving a limited class to carry on the business of State, and to preserve its power at the price of occasional con eassions and the use of a conventional language of libe rality. The country must be governed not only for, but by the public ; and that not merely at certain crises, by outbreaks of national feeling, having the character a'most of an insurrection, but constantly, regularly, and in de tail. A great step towards such a result is the opening of the Government offices and the chances of a public career to men recommended only by superior capacity and diligence. Whether we look on the change as affording fit employment to meritorious individuals or as insuring for the State a better dkcbarge of necessary duties, we can hardly doubt the benefits it will confer, One part of the reform may now be considered as achieved ; the victory is half won ' • the service is, or will be, completely ope ne d, an d we doubt not that in a year or two the event will exercise much influence on the habits and education of the country. It remains to perfect what has been begun ; the internal organisation of the departments must be modified in ac cordance with the spirit of the new system. 'Attentive inspection of conduct, consoientioua promotion of desert, selection of the best men for important places without regard to age or connexions, are among the duties of the statesmen who will superintend the various depart ments. In no branch of the service will a deficiency in these duties fail to be hurtful ; but we may cite the Co lonial-office as a department where there is the wildest field for a bold reformer. Hitherto it cannot be doubted that the distribution of the highest patronage has bean distinguished neither by patriotism nor judsmsnt. The frequent changes in the office of Colonial Secretary, coupled with many of the appointments made, would almost seem to intimate that each Minister was only anxious to embarrass Lis uttzz.:3;.,- gissee him the most narrow and impracticable trtatin'the tauntry to 'deal with. Lately the necessity df conciliating inde pendent colonists has led to the substitution of better men in certain places ; Canada, Jamaica, and lastly Victoria, have had good Governors, and now, we be lieve, Sir H. Barkly is to be succeeded in Jamaica by Governor Darling, of Newfoundland, a gentleman who has acquitted himself ably at several posts, and who commenced his career in the colony he id no w to govern. But still it cannot be said that the vast machine of colonial Government has been worked on any sound and intelligent principle. The separation be tween the Administration at home and the staffs of the variees colonies seems to us to be prclific of the same evils as the analogous practice at the Foreigheffice. Men who have worked in North America, the West Indies, and Australia, are never brought to London to I assist the Secretary of State with their practical know ledge, while the officials at horse seldom receive advance ment to posts abroad which, from the insight they have gained in the administration of the colonial system as a whole, they could fill with a better directed energy and a larger breadth of view. In fact, the local and what we may call the Imperial administration have always been considered as two distinct careers, though it is evident that if we are to retain the idea of the British empire as unity the relation of the colonies to the mother country and to each other must be the highest and most neces sary study of those who would administer the affairs of those dependencies. We cannot wonder that a race of men placed at a distance from the governing country, with no political responsibilities, and engaged chiefly on the material concerns of life, should often look at things with a narrow and somewhat selfish view. Though Canadians, and Australians, and Cape Cole nists are, we believe, soundly loyal, though they respect and love the mother country, as we have had good proof in the late war, though they fully appreciate the generous and self-denying policy of England, at least in the present generation, it is no matter of surprise that they should sometimes forget their correlative duties, and look ouly to the advantage of themselves and their own territory. The part, then, of the British Governor and his subordinates, the sole reason why they should be Englishmen, and not natives of the colony, is that they should intelligently and effectively correct these aberrations, and impress on the colonists how far they should subordinate their owaimpulses to a patriotic and large-minded Imperial policy. To do this fittingly what education is so necessary as that of the Colonial-office at home, where a man becomes acquainted with the various characters and wants of many communities, and is able to show those whose waywardness is only the result of their want of information how the rights they demand may be wrongs to their countrymen in some other part of the globe, or inconsistent with the well being of the mother country, which has created and which defends their society ? Yet, how, often hitherto has a General or a Post-Captain been sent out, who hardly knows a British colony when he sees its name, much loss the relations of the various dependencies to the mother country and the policy which it has been the desire of the most eminent statesmen to uphold ! Surely one of the men who has helped to adminis ter from London the affairs of some 50 of these communities must have learnt something which_ will make him more capable than a military or political partisan who knows nothing of colonial or any other government ? And surely when a governor or local secretary has been in a colony for years be must have something to tell the department at horse whioh is worth listening to, and might be fairly purchased by an appointment on the central staff? Now that we are really getting superior men in the public service, and testing them by severe examination and training, it is as well to turn them to account • for neither they nor the public will long suffer that ;hey should have no better fortune than to labour in obscurity for the glory of their official chiefs.—Times. _DREADFUL EXPLOSION. DORKING, Sunday. Yesterday (Saturday) this usually qu i e t an d sec l u d e d town became painfully excited by a disaster which, in addition to destroying a large amount of property, caus ed serious, if not fatal, injuries to two or three persons. It seems that yesterday morning Mr. Knight, a sur geon and druggist, was in his shop, situated in High street, with a boy employed by Mr. Knight and a female domestic. Mr. Knight was, we understand, preparing a prescription, when all of a sudden a loud explosion took place. Several people rushed to the spot, when the poor boy was found fixed on some iron railings on the pave ment in front of the house. He was insensible, and the upper part of his body covered with blood, which flowed from a terrible wound in the head, caused by coming into contact with the iron pests, when he was blown through the window by the force of the explosion. The girl was found in the window where she bad been forced. She was lying amongst the broken glass, and was very severely injured. Mr. Knight himself escaped with less injuries than the two other unfortunate persons. The damage done to Mr. Knight's premises is very consider. able, and the force of the explosion was so great that several of the adjoining houses were much shaken and injured. The exact cause of the explosion is not known, but it seems to bays been occasioned by an escape of gas. As soon as possible after the disaster medical aid was procured, and the wounds having been dressed, the un fortunate sufferers were conveyed to their residences, where they now remain in a pitiable condition. Naval and l Xilitary Intelligence. The screw steam-ship Victory, Capt. Richards, from the Mediterranean, put into Plymouth on Saturday. She left Constantinople July 8, Malta 16, and Gibraltar 25. She brings from Constantinople 10,0001. in specie. The steam-ship was used as a workshop at Balaklava. A court-martial assembled on Friday, on board the flag-ship Impregnable, in the Harnoaze, Plymouth, for the trial of Lieut. Joseph George Shanks, Royal Marines, serving on board her Majesty's ship Queen, for having, on the 10th of July, used reproachful language to wards Lieut. William D. D. Selby, R.N., of the same ship. The evidence clearly proved that the prisoner bad taunted the prosecutor with having hid himself un der a gun carriage while in action ; but, inasmuch as he had afterwards offered to apologise, the Court adjudged him only to be severely reprimanded, and to be placed at the foot of the list of the first lieutenants. The Prince Jerome and another French frigate were in the Tagus on the 221 of June. No English ship of war was there. The cholera was subsiding at Lisbon. The frigate Meander, 44, Captain Thomas Baillie, sailed from Plymouth Sound for Queenstown yesterday morning. The screw steam-ship Sanspareil, 70, Captain . A. C.

By the Peninsular mail-packet Madrid, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday evening, we have received the following items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :--The 13th Light Infantry, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Lord Mark Kerr, and the 89th, commanded by Col. Ferryman, bad received orders to bold themselves in readiness for immediate embarka tion to the Cape of Good Hope. The 15th and 96th were mentioned as the two regiments likely to relieve the two corps doing duty at Gibraltar. The Chasseur (engineer workshop), under the command of Captain Brightman, returning from the Crimea, whence • she sailed from Balaklava, on the sth, Constantinople on the 9th, and Malta on the 16th inst., arrived at Gibraltar on the 24th. After tekt•_ig in a supply of coal and water she was to resume her voyage to Spithea'l in the even ing. The Chasseur spoke, on the 20th, in lat. 37.35, long. 4.14 E., the British brig Wild Wave and British schooner Argo ; and, on the 21st, in hit. 37.37 N., long. 4.54 E., the British brig Duchess of Leinster.

The I2th Royal (Prince of Wales) Lancers, under the command of Colonel Tottenham, and the Gth Cara bineers, under the command of Colonel Junes, were in spected to-dPy by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cain bridge, Coe.,._ Chief. His Royal Highness was accompanied 1, Adjutant. General Sir G. A. Wetberall, Sir Colin and another general officer. Time did not permit, or it was proposed by some of the citizens to have presented a congratulatory address to his Royal Highness. The party arrived at Canterbury shortly before ten o'clock, and the duke, with the other generals, immediately jumped into a stanhope belonging to one of the officers of the garrison, and drove through the city to the Cavalry Barracks. Wherever his Royal Highness was recogni.ed'uneovered heads and waving of hats greeted his presence. It was remarked that the Duke looked exceedingly well, a s did also Sir C. Campbell, who was the observed of all observers. O.Ning to its not being generally known that the Commander-in-Chief would pay a visit to the bar racks there were comparatively few spectators present. The troops were drawn up in line in review order, in the exercise field at the rear of the Cavalry Barns Mks, and re ceived his Royal Highness with a general salute. Having carefully inspected the men (the bands of the two regiments playing alternately), the Commander-in- Cnief took up his position with his face fronting the military hospital, when the troops were marched past in quick time. The general appearance of these two fine regiments was most imposing. They were then formed in close columns of regiments facing each other—the Commander-in-Chief, with the other generals, occupy ing the interval. His Royal Highness then addressed the officers and men, but his remarks were totally in audible to the civilians present—so great a distance was kept unoccupied between them and the troops. His Royal Highness was understood to express his high gratification at the appearance of the two regiments— old comrades in arms ; and the pleasure he felt in again meeting them. They were a credit to the service to which they belonged. He was sure they would prove themselves worthy of the high opinion that had always been entertained of them. His Royal Highness also adverted to the period when the Carabineers were under the command of General Jackson, and the Lancers under Colonel Stowel, and spoke complimentary of their past and present organisation and efficiency. His best wishes would accompany them to India, and he hoped to see them safely return again to their native land. The two regiments then retired in succession of troops, and the illustrious visitors prcceeded to the mess-room of the Lancers, where they partook of a hasty luncheon, and then left for town. The first portion of the Carabineers leave here in the course of the present week for India. SUPPOSED MURDER. ----~-- SHEERNESS, August 2. An inquest has this day been held at the Fountain Hotel, before Mr. Hill, the county coroner, on the body of a young man, aged about 23, whose death seems to have taken place under very suspicious circumstances. It was proved that deceased had on Wednesday last arrived here by the London steam packet. He hired a waterman to row him about the river for an hour in the afternoon, and for a similar time in the evening. De ceased then proceeded for a walk along Queenborough wall, and was not seen alive afterwards. Deceased's hat (which was nearly new, and made by Chapman and Moors, Old Band street, London) was found by A . Ir. Josiah Hall between h a lf-p as t 9 an d IC/o'clock that night under Queenborougb-wall, immediately opposite to , where the body was aft erwar d s f o und. When deceased s body was first found two large rough stones, which bad no doubt been taken from the sea -facing of the wall, were lying on the upper side of the body. 'Two witnesses state that on getting him out the stones fell rff. The -coroner immediately ordered one of the constables to proceed to the spot with the two men who first found the body to search for the stones. The constable and the men some time after returned with a number o f large stones, all of w hich were found lying immediately under the water whence the body had been taken. The stones exceeded one cwt. Further evidence led the jury to suggest an adjournment until next Tuesd a y wee k , to give the const a bles an opportunity to make every in quiry. Deceased informed the man who had been row ing him about the harbour that he was in the service of a judge, and had left his place unknown to his employer. He stated that the sea air bad done him a great deal of good, and on his leaving him to proceed along Queen borough-wall he engaged him to take him in his boat the following day. H e appeared an intelligent young man. He was at the time sober. He drank nothing but gin ger-beer, and appeared in very go o d spirits. He further stated that his previous employer was the gentleman who personally commenced to break up the street paving in the Hi g h- s treet, laying Canterbu r y , for down thc lines of rail at the time the city authorities forbade the railway company to disturb th e etreet ' paving. It publicity wero given to these circumstances, the coroner and jury were of opinion it might lead to the identity of the unfortunate man w h o has apparently in some brutal manner been suddenly launched into eternity, ITHE WEATFIER AND THE CROPS. BEDFORDSHIRE.—Wheat has very much improved in appearance daring the last week. Beans look exceed ingly promising. The hay harvest in this county is now finished, and, geneially speaking. the crops have been secured in prime condition.—Bedford Times. CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—Every sort of crop is healthy, and an abundant harvest is rapidly approaching. The turnip crops, such as have escap e d th e fly a tt ac k, are _ g rowing wed, but within thq last week dreadful havoc has been caused by a more destructive insect called the black cater pillar, or locust. The insect appears in swarms, and hav ing attacked the leaf, adheres till every particle, except the stamina, or vein is consumed, and then regularly proceeds to the next, sometimes eating the produce el acres in their course. Potatoes appear to turn out plen tifully, and without doubt will be very cheap, as at pre sent there appears to be no symptoms of the old disease. —Cambridge Independent. DIIRILI3I.—The meadows have rapidly fallen under scythe, and a large quantity of excellent hay has been made Safe. The crops almost invariably good, and in many oases very heavy. The wheat crops have greatly improved, and are at present assuming a much more pro mising aspect. In s)me places the crop is light, but is looking Very healthy, and, should the present fine weather continue, they will rapidly approach maturity. Turnips, where'sown under favourable circumstances, are looking very well, but in man l y cases the wet continued so long that the land could not be sown. Planting out is going on to some extent where practicable. Potatoes look well, and although the disease is not extinct, we have not heard of the prevalence of it to any great extent. — Durham County Advertiser,' CUMBERLAND.—The crops appear to be in splendid con dition, and shoul4 the fine Vrt,iter continue,„,,harvest epew rationil ivill no long be dMyed.—Cailate JoUrital. KENT.—The crops generally look most luxuriant, and their appearance has had a sensible effect upon the mar kets. We cannot hear of any blight in the potatoes in this neighbourhood. They are generally of good quality, and are already sellin, at moderate prices. A field of oats belonging to Mr. Spong, a 5 Frindsbury, was cut and stacked, this week, in fine condition.—ilaidstone Journal. LANCASHIRE.—The weather which has prevailed dur ing the present week has been really beautiful, and every day of its continuance must add thousands of pounds to the wealth of the nation. As we stated in our last, the heavy rains of last week were local, for in other parts of the kingdom there was a lack of moisture ; but these rains have done little or no injury to the growing crops, while the hot sunshine of the present week is ripening the produce of the earth in the most satisfactory manner posgible.—Liverpool Chronicle). DEvoNsantE.--The harvest prospects of this county are the most cheering possible. In the neighbourhood of Exeter. and the fertile districts of To•ns:-, Ashburton, litngsbridge, and throughout the whole of Vie South Hams, the grain crops are most luxuriant, and indicate an abundant harvest. Potatoes also look well, and will, there is every reason to believe, be of a usual prolific crop. The disease has shown itself in some districts, but so partially and in such a slight form as not to ex cite alarm. Throughout the districts of Crediton, Run staple, South Molton, and the fertile valleys of North Devon, the same cheering prospects present themselves, and if the present fine weather continues the corn bar- vest is expected to be general in a week or ten days. The hay harvest has been most satisfactory. NORTIIUMBERLAND.—The weather sines our last has continued exceedingly propitious, and a great quantity of hay has been safely housed this week in excellent con• dition. A large pr portion, however, still remains in the fields. The crops of cereals are advancing rapidly , towards maturity, and under the influence of fine wea• therand anticipated abundance the corn markets through out the country have declined considerably, and show every appearance of a further fall.—Newcastle Chronicle. YORKSIIIRE.—Wheat is lookilig remarkably healthy and well, and affords the promiad; if genial weather con tinue, of a fill.' average yield. Other kinds of grain ex hibit a no less satisfactory appearance. Potatoes and turnips are growing luxuriously, "Wakefield Journal. OXFORDSHIRE. —The weather has been sunny, very hot, and everything that can be desired for the corn. The wheat on the heavy land is ripening very well, and shows a rich yellow colour, and that on the lighter soil is just at the edge of harvest, and in a few instances the hook has been at work, the ear is well filled, and but little blight appears. The barley, of which there is a small breadth growing this year, looks well on the good soils, where it was planted early, and promises to be of fine quality and pod crop. RUSSIAN CROWN DIAMONDS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) The Crown treasury of the Czars at Moscow contains precious stones of considerable amount. The two most considerable are diamonds, one the size of a pigeon's egg, cut-in rose. - The , Banasialsa hael,given it the WWI. 01 she -Orloff; - The other hag of an irregular prism, and is of the size and almost the length of a little finger ; it bears the name of the Shah, and its history is as follows :—lt formerly belonged to the Sophis, and was one of two enormous diamonds which ornamented the throne of Nadyr Shah, and which were designated by the Persians by the names of " Sun of the Sea" and "Moon of the Mountains." When Nadyr was assassi nated his treasures were pillaged, and the precious stones divided among a few soldiers, who carefully concealed them. An Armenian, of the name of Shrafras, re sided at that period at Bussora with his two brothers. One day an Affghan came to him, and offered for sale the large diamond the Moon of the Mountains, as well as an emerald, a ruby of fabulous size, a sapphire of th e fi nes t water, called by the Persians thelirje of Allele, and a number of other stones, for the whole of which he asked such a moderate sum, that I Shafras suspected that they had not been honestly come by, and told him to call again, as he had not the money in the house. The Affghan, fearing Shafras was going to act with treachery towards him, left the place and could not again be found, although the three brothers made every search for him. Some years afterwards the elder brother met the man at Bagdad, who told him that be had just sold all his precious stones for 65,000 piastres and a pair of valuable horses. Shafras had the residence of the purchaser, who was a Jew, pointed out to him, and be went to him and offered him double the price he had given for them, but was refused. The three brothers then agreed to murder the Jew and rob him of his purchase, which they did, and on the following day poisoned the Affghan, and threw both the bodies into the river. A dispute soon after arose between the brothers as to the division of the spoil, which terminated in Shafras getting rid of his two brothers by poison, after which he fled to Con stantinople, and thence to Holland, where he male known the riches ho possessed, and offered them for sale to the different courts of Europe. Catherine 11. pro posed to buy the Moon of the Mountains only. Shafras was requested to come to Russia, and he was introduced to the court jeweller. The terms demanded by Shafras were—letters of nobility, a life annuity of 10,000 roubles, and 500,000 roubles payable by weekly in stalments in ten years. Count Panin, who was then minister, delayed the settlement of the bargain as long as possible, and in the meantime had the Armenian led into such extravagances that he fell into debt, and when the minister found that he had no means of paying what he owed he abruptly broke off the nego tiation. Shafras, according to the laws of the country, could not leave until his debts should be paid, and the court jeweller prepared to take advantage of his em barrassments, and intended that the diamond should fall into his bands fora fourth of its value. Shafras, how ever, discovered the trap that had been laid for him, and disposing of some of the less valuable stones among his countrymen, paid his debts, and disappeared. Agents were sent after him, who had even orders to assassinate and rob him, but he escaped them. Ten years after, while he was at Astrakan, renewed offers were made to him, but he refused to enter into any negotiations unless the bargain should be settled at Smyrna. Catherine accepted, and became the possessor of the diamond for letters of nobility-600,000 roubles, and 170,000 paper roubles, making together about two and a half millions of francs. Shafras, not being able to return to his country, where he would have had to give an ac count of two homicides and two fratricide; fixed himself at Astrakan, where he married a countrywoman of his, and had seven daughters. One of his sons-in-law poisoned him for the sake of possessing his share of his pro perty. The immense fortune which the murderer bad acquired (from ten to twelve millions) was divided, and soon spent, by his successors and several of the grand children of Shafras are now living at Astrakan is abject misery. THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA. The Frankfort semi-ofliciat Post Zeitung contains the following :—" We have received from a high source of authority at Constantinople direct confirmation of the intelligence already given by the Vienna capers of the Russians having retaken possession of the Isle of Ser pents at the mouth of the Danube. Here we have the first fruits of the Paris treaty of peace. This group of little islands is situated only a few miles from Sulina, and if they are allowed to remain in the occupation of Russia, it is all over with the free navigation of the Danube. The Serpents Isle was ceded with the rest of the Delta to Russia in 1829, without, however, any spe cial mention of it in the treaty of Adrianople, and re verts in like manner to Turkey by virtue of the stipula tions of the treaty of Paris. The one-sided conduct of Russia on this subject requires some e xplanation, for though they gain e d possess i on o f i t i n sp i te o f its not being specially mentioned in the first treaty, they now claim the right of keeping it on the ground of its not being mentioned in the second. In this way, the treaty of Paris is early submitted to a severe test ; let us hope that it will stand the trial, and that the free navigation of the Danube will not prove t o b e an illusion ; f u r th e I s l e o f Serpents in the possession of Russia will upset the whole of the treaty, and ren der its stipulati ons nugatory ; for if Russia thinks pro per to extinguish the lighthouse, one half o f t h e vessels boned to and from the coast will be lost on the dan erous coast, and in a short time no captain will be found possessed of so much rashness as _ to. risk the loss of his vessel at the mouth of the Danube, when he can obtain an equa r lly high freight With less dangir on any other voyage, 1 leseezee Ntiv er a a s p..e'ef4 yam, ees' 0, (From the Bright on lie; 1 Great sensation has been created throk by a charge of assault, which was heard . tt9.l36raugli;* Court on Thursday afternoon, in which ' Charleriltf, Rowley Platt was the defendant. It was _efeved Mr. John Lawrence, surgeon, of this town, at , 4 pears to have originated in an impression on the mind of the prisoner that the character of a lady to whom he has been recently united, has been to some extent aspersed by the complainant. If we mistake riot, tbename of the lady in question is disclosed in the following notice of marriage,which appeared in the Times of May 16 : " Cu the 29th ult., at the Episcopal Chapel of St. Thomar, New York, by the Rev. Edmund Neville, rector, Capt. Charles Rowley Platt, of H.M. 16th Regiment, to Misa Louisa Howard letelliar." The name of ' Miss Louisa Howard will be familiar to our readers as that of a very charming and fascinating actress, who, for a considerable p eiod, sustained the principal female roles at the Brighton Theatre, and who subsequently departed for America. John Lawrence, surgeon, 74, Grand-parade, Brighton, deposed —At one o'clock this day I was on a visit to a patient in Marlborough -place, when I received a mes sage horn my coachman, who was with the carriage a the door, consequent upon which I went hams, and found the prisoner in my parlour. He made an apology to me, as not wi.bing to occupy my time, and for bringing me away from my professional avocations, or words to that effect. I begeed him to be seated. He then said to me " I believe you are intimately acquainted with Judge Platt—l believe particularly se?" I replied " Yes, for the last 25 years. ' He then said, " Yoe are aware that there has been a wedding in the Platt family ?" I said, "Yes, I am, and that Judge Platt and family were very much annoyed at it--especially as it appeared in the Times, intimating that it was Judge Platt's son, and not Mr. Samuel Platt's." I then said to him, " I think you are a Platt by your face ?" I forget what reply he made ; but afterwards be said, "Did you say any thing to Lady Pl a tt a b ou t the lady who was mar ried ?". I said, "No, not to my recollection ; but, in conversation with her perhaps, I might have said something with reference to the on dit of the town of Brighton ; but I know nothing wrong of my own knowledge." Prisoner said, " What do you think of that lady ?" I replied, " From hear say, I believe she is not the most immaculate person." He then said, "That's 'My wife," and became excited, and insisted on my giving biro satisfaction. I said, "I shall do no such thing." We walked out of the house together, he in a very excited state. My carriage was at the door, and I put my hand upon it to get in, when prisoner said, " You're a scoundrel, and I insist upon your giving me satisfaction." He then struck me with the thin end of the whip across the shoulder, turned the whip round, and with the but end struck me two or three times over the left hand and hat. Neither of the blows did me harm, except that acmes the hand, the fore finger and middle finger of which were injured, as now to b o seen. lam fearful that I shall lose the use of my little finger. I desired my coachman to get down and seize the prisoner. He did so, and was about to strike the prisoner, but I desired him not ; and a passer. by went for a policeman, to whoin I gave the prisoner in charge. Mr. Platt, on being asked if he desired to make any statement, replied, "In consequence of remarks which I had beard, that Mr. Lawrence had reason to believe that the lady was not immaculate, and his declining to give me satisfaction, I felt nothing else was loft-, but to take the law in my own hands, irritated as I was at such scandal. Mr. Lawrence must have known that the lady was my wife, as I told him so from the first, and before I demanded satisfaction, and from my having been so much about Brighton I heard a great deal of scandal and lies, which I believed Mr. Lawrence bad a great deal to do with. That was the reason which made rao coma to Brighton. I mean, lies in reference to me and my wife." Captain Platt was required to find two sureties in 501. each for his appearance at the sessions. TEE NEW SPECULATIONS. A résumé on the 30th of June showed the total capi ta', nominally required for the new schemes introduced during the half year to he 23,490,0001. Of this abut 11,000,0001. was the amount estimated as having been promised to foreign countries, while of the remainder only a small prop , rtion was pledged to undertakings of a description to withdraw serious sums from the ordi nary channels of employment. The prospect, although not calculated to awaken anxiety, was such as to stimu late caution. Nevertheless, although the public are dis posed probably to infer that this fact and the dulness of the money-market during the subsequent period have led to an abatement of the ardour of projectors, such has not been the case. Their demands have steadily in creased, and if any effect has been produced by the less buoyant state of prices it has simply beep to prevent this increase assuming still more objectionable dimensions. The subscriptions invited from January to June ave raged 3,900,0001. per;month, and in July they have reached 5,370,0001. Annexed is the list : Metropolitan Railroad ... 1,000,000 New Brunswick and C ana d a L an d an d Railway 220,000 Calcutta and South-E as t ern St. James' Hall 40,000 Sittiugbourne and Sheerners Railway Central Italian Copper Mining Company • Forest of Dean R a il wa y London and West of Ireland Fishing and Fish - llanuro Cum way -- Patent Woollen Fabric Company London Cork Company Labn (Nassau) Iron Company Copiapo Extension (Chili) Detroit and Milwakee Bonds United Kingdom Provision Company__ European and Indian Junction Telegraph Hungarian Land , 50,000 100,000 50,000 70,000 1.0,000 250,0 0 500,000 2C0,0 JO 85,000 50,000 10,t00 South-Western Hotel Company Metropolitan Bath Company Bristol, South Wales, and Southampton Union Railway 300,000 Madras Extension l,OOO 000 An additionally unfavourable feature connected with the above is, that the foreign proportion presents rela tively a large augmentation. Ot the total of 5,370,0001., 3,125,0001., or considerably more than half, is destined to be drained from us to quarters whence a aeflux will be very distant. 2,000,0001. is intended for India. al though the requirements for that country have for seve ral years past produced a chronic pressure on the money market, which most injuriously affected our resources during the war, and the amount remaining to benit thither was still inconveniently large. 470,000/ i t raised for Canada and Western America, apart from a further large sum understood to,have been privately re gotiated on the bonds of a railway in the repudiating State of Michigan ' • 180,0001. is for Chili ; 190 , 0001 . f or mines in Italy a n d Germany ; 85,0001. fora land project in Hungary, and 200,0001. for a telegraphic communica tion with the East. Whether undertakings such as these can be entered upon safely at the rate at which they thus promise to be multiplied any person can judge who will avail himself even of the experience of what is now passing in Paris. A large majority of them are sound, and such as would be desirable if there were a prospect of an early pause in the number to be intro duced. But on this point there is little hope. It is certain that one or more important railway lines are about to be brought forward under attractive con cessions from the Turkish Government, and that Russia is deliberating on a comprehensive plan to obtain from the capitalists of England and France the means to prevent, by a net-work of internal commu nications, a repetition of her recent failure. The first will be recommended by their commercial and political characteristics, and the latter by the existing prices of Rdssian securities, and as the guarantees in each case will, of course, be calculated to meet the condition of the money-market fur the time, there can be little doubt as to their reception. Once commenced, with the pre sent facilities for railway construction, they are sure to proceed with rapidity, and, although owing to the acti vity of her trading relations with England, the expen diture in the case of Turkey would be likely to flow back freely, in Russia it would probably be boarded with al most as much tenacity as in India. Under these cir cumstances, it is for the public to consider whether they should exercise for the moment a discriminating reserve. At all events, they should bear in mind, before taking every American or other debenture that may be offered, that the agents in the transaction are paid a large per centage for recommending them, and also that with re gard to undertakings announced on the Stock Exchange the fact of their Leing quoted at a premium before the day of issue does not, except in large and unquestionable instances, afford the slightest proof of the value at which they will really stand.—Times' City Article. The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Orien tal steamer Ava amount to 675,400/ , of which 662,1001. is silver for Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Penang, Singa pore, Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai, and 13,3001. gold for Ceylon, Madras, Calcutta, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Alexandria. ROBBERY OF WATCHES AT RIFON.—Two men were apprehended at Harewood Tellbar last evening (Friday) by Mr. Pollard, superintendent constable for the West Riding, and brought before the Rev. J. A. Rhodes and G. S. Beecroft, Esq., West Riding magistrates, this . morning, at the Leeds Court-house. The prisoners' names are Tom Lassy, alias Hoyle, (dims " Curly Tom, „ and Tom Smith. Mr. Pollard stated that at half-past ten on the previous morning he saw the prisoners driv ing in the direction of Harewood. Having quickly fol lowed them and lain in wait for six hours, they were captured. Thirty-five silver watches and one gold watch,. with guards and seals attached, were f oun d i n the vehicle, enclosed in a leathern bag. The prisoners were searched, and on Lassy were found some housebreaking implements. Mr. Collinson, superint en d en t o f t h e Ri pon c ounty police, said he had no doubt that the pro... perty was that which bad been stolen from Mr. Blake-. borough's shop on Wednesday morning last. Lassy declared that he had nothing to do with the robbery, and Smith also supported that statement. Both prisoners were then remanded till Tuesday next.—Leeds Mcrcu y.

At this juncture he commenced taking these.pills, and rubbing the ointment into the complaining parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of six weeks.
