MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, dur ing the last few days, have been more active, and a fair amount of business has been done in most of the principal staples. Tea brought fully late rates, and previous prices were well sustained for all descriptions of sugars. For coffee there has beau a better inquiry, and owing to the small quantities announceed for public sale, prices have tended upwards for good and fine descriptions of Plantation Ceylon. Rice has been in better request, and at enhanced rates; and for fruit slightly ad vanced prices have been obtained. Saltpetre con tinued dull, without any change of importance as regards values; and in tallow business has been less active, prices for present delivery having slightly receded. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was a good demand for all descriptions, and prices were firm. The sales were about 15,000 bales. About £67,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Ceylon, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &e., will take out £53,909, viz., £37,060 in gold, and £16,849 in silver. The bar silver by the Shannon from the West Indies, has been sold at ss. Old. per oz., the portion suitable for refining purposes at ss. Old. per oz., and the Mexican dollars at 4s. 11d. per oz. A call of £5 per share has to be paid on or before the Ist proximo, on the shares of the London Chartered Bank of Australia. It has been notified that 20 special Bonds of the Danish 4 per Cent. Stook of 1850-61, together of the value; of £2,000, have been cancelled. A steady demand for discount accommodation is reported, and the quotations continue steady. The Funds this morning opened buoyantly, and a fresh rise of per cent. occurred, but the specula tors then came forward to take their profits, and a reaction of per cent. suddenly ensued. Consols for money and the 10th were 931 a ; they are now 921 93 for the October account ; they were 934 l and have since dropped to 934 The New Threes and the Reduced have been dealt in at 914 ex. div.; Exchequer Bills, March, have advanced to 2s. ex. div., and 2s. prem. ; ditto, June, are steady at ss. prem. ; Bank Stock is 236 ; and India 5 per Cent., 1031 104. Foreign Securities have shown rather more buoy ancy, and a fair amount of business has been trans acted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 80; ditto, 1858, 651 66 ex div. ; Spanish have improved to 491 ; Mexican to 211; and Buenos Ayres Deferred to 271; Peruvian 41 per Cent's. are flat at 97 ex div. ; ditto Dollars Bonds have advanced to 87. Less buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, and in some instances prices have slightly given way. Eastern Counties have receded ss. ; North Westerns and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s.; and South Easterns, £1 ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Great Northern, South Westerns, and North British, however, have advanced ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also shown less firmness. South Australian and Lombardo- Venetian realise 17t ; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 201 ; Great Indian Peninsula to 99 ; and East Indian to 102. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued dull, without any material change in prices. London and Westminster, however, improved 55., and Union of Australia 58. ; Aus tralian Agricultural and Peninsular and Oriental Steam realise previous values. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

The wind was high and the sea rough at the time, and shortly after his move ments in the water were heard by some of those on board a boat was lowered, but the unfortunate man was drowned before he could be reached. It is believed that, finding himself in danger, he had attempted to return, but was upable to keep afloat till assistance arrived, —Glasgow Herald. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. Paid ! Leasing !

In another column we give ample particulars, as they were collected last night, of the terrible accident on the Hampstead Junction Railway—not exactly on the North London Railway, as stated in some of the morning papers. From personal inquiries this morning, we are enabled to give some further particulars, in addition to an authorised list of dead and wounded, gathered from the hospitals to which the sufferers were taken. Terrible as the catastrophe has proved to be, it is provi dential that it is no worse. Some of the papers have stated that the train consisted of ten or twelve carriages, others of nineteen or twenty, others that there were as many as thirty carriages attached to the ill-fated engine which went over the embankment. All these estimates are much below the mark, 10,000ipassengers having left Kew in so many car riages that it was necessary to divide them into six separate trains. In the first of them were Mr. Chubb, the secretary of the North London Railway Company and his family, the locomotive superintendent of the line, and his family, Mr. J. H. Bell, and Mr. Robert Bell, members of the London newspaper press, and their families, as well as many others who have shown an interest in the welfare of the company's servants, for whose especial pleasure the train was provided. It was the third portion of the train to which the accident happened. The nature of the accident is so fully explained in another column that it will not be necessary to enter into detail. It may, however, be stated that one suggestion which will be made before the coroner and jury to-morrow is this,—that the ballast train was protected by a signal, and that the up-train would have been safe if the signal had been observed, but that the signal-man on duty is said, most unaccountably, to have reversed it. The man is not in custody, but is under surveillance, which, perhaps, amounts to pretty much the same thing. It is only fair to the signalman, whose name is net given, to say that the only conclusion that could be come to by any person closely examining the line is, that it must be exceedingly difficult for any man placed in such a position to do his duty satisfactorily. The line at the point where the accident happened is not merely a curve—it is a zig-zag, and a train coming rapidly round upon the spot at which the ballast waggons and engine were stationed, could hardly fail to run into it, especially if the evening happened to be rather dark. The driver is not dead, as represented. He is very much scalded and maimed, but he will, it is hoped, be sufficiently recovered to give evidence at an ad journment of the inquest. This inquiry will be commenced either by Mr. Wakley or Mr. Brent, at 12 to-morrow, at the Elephant and Castle, opposite St. Pancras Workhouse, whence it will be immediately adjourned to the Vestry-hall of St. Pancras. This morning the up-line was blocked, but several excur sion and other trains ran down—one amonster train, which excited much attention on account of the gaiety of its occu pants, sent down to Windsor by the members of the Kentish-town Library in the Hampstead-road. It appears that the Hampstead Junction line, on which the accident occurred, is worked by the North London Company, although the servants of the North Western Company attend to the line. The ballast train which stood in the way of the excursion train on its way to London, be longed to the North-Western Company, who have con• strutted a siding for the purpose of facilitating the erection of a new coal depot. It may serve as a guide to those who have not travelled by this line, if we may state that the scene of the accident is immediately behind, what in old time was called, "Kentish•town Chapel," but which now is just known as the Church of St. John the Baptist, Kentish-town. It is also close behind St. Andrew's Temporary Church, on the ether side of the line. The engine which fell over is still lying at the bottom of the embankment from which it went over, a distance of about 25 or 30 feet. At daylight this morning a large num ber of men were employed to remove the disjecta *umbra of the carriages, which went down with the engine, there being some misapprehension that more dead bodies were hidden under them. After a minute investigation, how ever, none were discovered, although several persons are said to be missing. Many thousands of persons assembled this morning in the fields through which the line runs, and which are situate in the valley at the bottom of Highgate hill. The following are the lists from the throe hospitals to which the sufferers were conveyed : UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. DEAD. Mary SeHis, Upper•street, Isltngton. Mrs. Bowler, 2, Somers-street, Old Ford.

LAND IN TASMANIA.—Cheap land is obtainable in this colony upon very easy terms. From the Land Gazette, recently published by the Tasmanian Government, it ap pears that plenty of good land can be readily and cheaply procured. There are still several million acres of such land for disposal. An immigrant with only a small capital (say from £l5O to £200) can easily become a landowner by avail ing himself of the credit afforded under the Waste Lands Act. If, for instance, he purchases townlands amounting to £lOO, £lO are added for credit, and one-fourth only of the £llO is required as a deposit at the time of purchase, the balance being received in three annual instalments of £27 10s. In the case of agricultural and pastoral kids one fifth is added for credit, one-fifth only paid at the time of purchase, and the balance received in eight yearly instal ments, which, if the purchase money were £lOO, would only amount to £l2. Land may also be sold by private contract to any person at Ll per acre, provided the plot does not exceed 320 acres. A private letter from Bayonne of the 28th August states that the produce of the maize crop in that neighbour hood will not be equal to more than the half of an ordinary year in consequence of the continued dry weather, no rain having fallen since the month of May. This calamity will be the more severely felt as the peasants in that country de pend principally on the maize crop for food. A few days' rain, however, would still repair the injury. VICTUALLERS-BARKER V. GREEN. This was an action to recover a sum for refreshments supplied, plaintiff being a licensed victualler of Bishops gate •street. No plea had been put in, but Mr. George, of Sise-lane, called for plaintiff's book in which was the account, and found in it two or three items far spirits, whereupon Mr. George objected to plaintiff's recovering those items, al though the tippling act had not been pleaded by defendant, who had, said Mr. George, paid the debt. His Honour held that plaintiff could not recover for the spirits supplied under £l, and found for the remainder. THE LAMENTABLE QUACKERY OF THE AGE.--ONYON V. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

There are more solid inducements for wearing the beard than the mere improvement of a man's per sonal appearance and the cultivation of such au aid to the every day diplomacy of life. Nature, combin ing, as she never fails to do, the useful with the ornamental, provides us with a far better respirator than science could ever make, and one that is never so hideous to wear as that black seal upon the face, that looks like a passport to the realms of suffering and death. The hair of the moustache not only ab sorbs the moisture and miasma of fogs, but it strains the air from dust and the soot of our great smokey cities. It acts also in the most scientific manner, by taking heat from the warm breath as it leaves the chest, and supplying it to the cold air taken in. It is not only a respirator, but with the beard entire we are provided with comforter as well; and these are never left at home, like the umbrellas and all such appli ances whenever they are wanted. We have heard Moffat and Livingstone, the African explorers, and many other travellers, say that at night no wrap could equal the beard. The remarkable thing is, too, that the beard, lik e t h e h a i r o f t h e hea d , pro tects against the heat o f th e sun ; i t acts as a t h atc h does to the ice-house; but more than this, it becomes moist with the perspiration, and then by evapora • tion cools the skin. A man who accepts this protec tion of Nature's may face the rudest storm and the hardest winter. He may go . from the hottest room into the coldest air without any dread; and we verily believe he might sleep in a morass with impunity—at least his chance of escaping the terrible fever would be better than his beardless companion's. That our sol diers and sailors, who have to endure every climate in the world, should be made to travel about with a razor in their knapsack, is as absurd and useless an encumbrance F 9 making them carry a complete set of shoe brushes. The men would look better and feel better if they were allowed to wear the beard neatly trimmed ; and there is no doubt the invaliding, which is now so serious a burden to the couutry, would be much reduced, to say nothing of the comfort of the soldier and sailor ; and these deserve some consideration against the arguments of General Pipeclay and General Tartar. Ten years's experience have made us ourselves a little enthusiastic in favour of poyonotrophy ; but if a total immunity from toothache, relaxed uvula, coughs, colds, and all the host of ileums be any inducement, then we can cordially recommend the beard in all its glory.— Temple liar for Sept. THE FREIGHT MARKET.—Messrs. Seymour, Peacock, and Co., in their circular, state that since the date of our last last circular outward freights have become still more depressed, and have reached a point below which it seems impossible for them to recede. Measurement goods are being carried by the finest vessels from London to Bom bay at about 7s. 6d. per ton of 40 feet, and we have heard of engagements at 225. 6d. per ton measurement through from Manchester, the owner having to pay 255. per ton weight to the railway company for carriage to London, the freight for the ship consisting of the difference realised be tween the weight and measurement of the bales—many Manchester goods weighing almost as much as they mea sure Amongst the passengers on board the Sultan, which arrived on Saturday from Lisbon, are 12 nuns of the ancient convent of Sion House, who return to England, having purchased an establishment at Spitisbury, in Dor setshire. The sisters carry with them the antique stone cross which formerly stood over the gateway of Sion House at Isleworth ; also several ancient statues which adorned their original church, and a portrait of Henry V. of Eng land, their founder, which is said to be a likeness, and to have been painted during the monarch's lifetime. This order of Bridgettins has been settled in Lisbon since the year 1595, but there being now more religious liberty in England than in Portugal, and more prosperity there for the prosperity of the order, the sisterhood have determined to return to their native land. It is said that the Duke of Northumberland, to whose ancestors Sion House, with its lands, was granted by Henry VIII., has given the roor nuns a handsome donation to assist them in defraying the expenses of their journey and change of establishments. GENERAL CIALDINI.—A letter from Turin in the Tamps says .—" Everybody for some time past has been speaking of General Cialdini, and yet I do not see that any one understands the veritable part he is playing at Naples. It is not as a bravo and able general, for there are others as good as he, nor as an administrator, nor as a statesman, that his presence is of great importance in the South—but it is as a bond of union between the Government and the most advanced liberal party, which party may become in the southern provinces a serious danger if its support be not secured. The general was a republican by birth, and in his youth; but he has become aide-de-camp to the King, and though without family distinction or fortune, he has obtained without any unworthy concessions, a position in the most exclusive society that ever existed—the Piedmon tese aristocracy. But what is most extraordinary is, that though gaining favour among the retrograde party, be has not lost, nor even compromised, his popularity among his early political allies. Even the ex-refugees, who are ex tremely distrustful, place confidence in him. His frank and open manners aro of great service to him. It is not rare to see him at one moment walking with General de la Mar mara, who is the very personification of Piedmentese aris tocratic stiffness, and two minutes after sauntering arm-in arm vt ith General Ribotti, or Medici, or some other refugee ; and at the theatre he frequently steps out of the Royal box to pace the lobby with some rabid democrat." COAL —The earliest mention of coal is said to be in 1245, but it was probably known for the purposes of trade long before. The citizens of London used it in the reign of Edward I. ; every shipload that passed under the arches of old London Bridge paid a toll of sixpence to the Corporation. The middle classes were the first to appre ciate its value ; but the nobility, whose mansions were in the pleasant suburbs of Holborn and the Strand, regarded it as a nuisance, and complained loudly of the smoke. In 1306 a Commission of Inquiry was instituted, and followed by a proclamation forbidding the use of sea coal within the City of London. The effect of this prohibitory measure was but temporary. Fifty pounds were paid from the Exchequer in 1308 to several " wood merchants," for pro viding coal and wood for the coronation of Edward 11. The price of coal in the reign of Edward 111. was six shil lings and fourpence a chaldron.—Our English Home. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH AN TICIPATED.—I am un aware whether the subjoined extract has been noticed. It seems a very interesting anticipation of one of the most beau tiful of modern inventions :—" In the evening to M. Lo mond, a very ingenious and inventive mechanic, who has made an improvement of the jenny for spinning cotton. Common machines are said to make too hard a thread for certain fabrics, but this forms it loose and spongy. in elec tricity he has made a remarkable discovery ; you write two or three words on a paper ; he takes it with him into a room ' and turns a machine enclosed in a cylindrical case, at the ' top of which is an electrometer, a small fine pith ball ; wire connects with a similar cylinder and electrometer in a distant apartment; and his wife, by remarking tie corre sponding motions of the ball, writes down the words they indicate, from which it appears that he has formed an al phabet of motions. As the length of the wire makes no dif ference in the effect, a correspondence might be carried on at any distance; within and without a besieged town, for instance, or for a purpose much more worthy, and a thou sand times more harmless, between two lovers prevented or prohibited from any better connection."-16th Oct., 1787.

EMIGRATION TO THE COLONIES.—The only colo nies which at present promote immigration from the United Kingdom by :means of their public funds are Victoria, Queensland, the Cape of Good Hope, and Natal. The sys tem on which assistance is afforded varies in each colony. Immigration into the colony of Victoria at the expense of the colonial funds is governed by regulations issued by the local government, dated Melbourne, April 15, 1861. Under these regulations the Emigra• ion Commissioners are autho rised to select, and provide with free passage in vessels to be chartered by them, unmarried female domestic servants, of good character. Persons, however, resident in the colony may, by making the following payments to the colonial government, obtain "passage warrants" for the introduc • tion of their relatives and friends. By these warrants the colonial government engages to pay to any shipowner who shall bring out the persons named therein, at the rate of £l4 for each person of twelve years or upwards, and £7 for liach child between one and twelve years of age, if the ser vice be properly performed. Unprotected single females must proceed in the Emigration Commissioners' vessels, but all other nominees are left to make their own arrange ments for passages with any owners of private ships who will aceept the passage warrants in payment. The scale of payments to be paid in the colony for obtaining " passage warrants" is, for each male under 12 years, £3 ; between 12 and 40, L 5; 40 years and upwards, £6 ; for each female under 12 years, £1; between 12 and 40, .£2; 40 years and upwards, £3,—fittum 1510:pping Ormick. HER hfrA,TESTY'S PROGRESS TO BALMORAL. (Prom the Scotsman.) The Queen, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice and Helena, and Prince Alfred, and nume rous suite, arrived at the general station, Perth, on Saturday morning last at 7.51 a.m., a minute before the arrangements in the programme, The Royal party, notwithstanding having travelled the previous night, appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. Her Majesty, on landing at the station, was received by the Earl of Mansfield, the sheriff of the county (Mr. E. S. Gordon), and the Lord Provost and magistrates of Perth, and on the platform were Mr. Stirling of Kippendavie, Colonel Campbell, Mr. Stoddart of Ballendreck, Mr. M'Lean, procurator-fiscal of the county ; Mr. Archibald Reid, county sheriff clerk, &c. Only a limited number of ladies and gentle men were admitted to the station, and those present did not exceed 600 persons, who gave her Majesty a most enthusiastic welcome. A detachment of the Scots Greys on foot, commanded by Lieutenant Browning, formed a guard of honour to her Ma jesty, and the utmost order was maintained on the platform by the city constable and a party of police under the direction of superintendent Welch. The Earl of Mansfield conducted the royal party to the breakfast rooms, which had been elegantly fur nished for the occasion by the joint committee of the general station. The arrangements for the recep tion of the royal party made by the station com mittee were most complete, and reflect the highest credit on the parties under whose superintendence they were got up. The accommodation provided for her Majesty, the royal family, and suite were a portion of the buildings recently erected, and a por tion of those occupied by the Scottish North-Eastern Railway Company. Her Majesty, the Prince Con= sort, and the royal children breakfasted alone. The servants had breakfast supplied them in the first class refreshment room. Exactly at half-past eight o'clock her Majesty and suite entered the royal train, and in three minutes after it started, amid the plaudits of the assembled spectators, which her Majesty graciously acknowledged. Her Majesty expressed her high satisfaction with the whole ar rangements for her reception. In the various rooms, it may be added, there were beautiful bouquets of flowers, which were supplied by Mr. Maxtone, of Cultoquhey; Mr. Gray, of Bowerswell ; and Mr. Turnbull, of Bellwood. At 28 minutes past nine the royal train, with her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice and Helena, and Prince Alfred, arrived at Forfar, accompanied by General Grey and other members of his suite. The station was gaily decked with flowers and flags, the red rampant lion of Scotland being the most prominent figure in the bunting. The re freshment room was eovered with beautiful bloom ing heather, adorned with flowers, and seemed like a fairy bower. On the summit were soma game birds and wild animals, and in the centre above the arched doorway was a stag's head, a " royal," with antlers of ten times. The decorations did great credit to the taste of Mr. Duff, the station master. Her Majesty was met by Lord Dalhousie and Sir Charles Wood, the latter of whom took his: seat in the train, and proceeded northward along with the other members of the suite. Lord Dal housie went up to the royal carriage and her MajeF,tv and the Prince Consort conversed freely with his lordship during the brief stay of the train. Her Majesty seemed in excellent spirits. The Forfar Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Kinloch and Captain Forsyth, and Captain Fotheringham s formed a guard of honour during the time the train remained, and gave a royal salute on the arrival and departure of the train. Ferryhill Station, Aberdeen, was reethed at the posted time, 11.13. To this point her Majesty was accompanied by Mr. Stirling, of Kippendavie; Mr. Porteous of Laurieston ; Mr. Keith, Mr. Birnie, and. Dr. Matthews, directors of the Scottish North- Eastern Railway, which here terminates. At Fur ryhilll a considerable crowd had assembled, amongst whom it was pleasing to hear the remark passing that her Majesty, in all her journeys north, never looked in better spirits. A military guard of honour under Major Rice, 72d Highlanders, was in wait ing, and on the platform to receive the royal party were the Lord Provost (Anderson). Sheriff 'Watson, the Convener of the County (Mr. Thomson), with whom the Prince Consort entered into conversation. (It may be remembered that the Convener had the honour of having his Royal Highness for his guest at Banchory during the sitting of the British Asso ciation two years ago at Aberdeen.) After a stay of five minutes, the carriages having meanwhile been changed on to the Deeside Rail way, the royal train departed for the Highlands, the following directors of the line being in attendance —Mr. John Duncan, chairman ; Mr. Whyte, Aber deen ; Mr. Smith, of Glenmillan ; Mr. Gordon, of Craigmill ; with Mr. Ferguson, secretary. Owing te some unforseen failure of steam power in one of the engines, the journey was not so expeditiously performed as usual, " a slow" taking place on a por tion of the line. This delay was happily, however, compensated for in some degree by time and oppor tunity being afforded to the royal visitors to view with better leisure the fine scenery along the route of the Dee. Aboyne, the termination of the rail way, was made at a quarter past one. In. waiting here, amongst others, were the Marquis of Huntly, Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire, and the Mar chioness of Huntly, whom her Majesty graciously recognised and spoke to. A guard of honour, under Captain Bond, was also in attendance. Carriages being in readiness, the royal party drove without delay, slight rain falling at the time. Ere Ballater was reached, however, the weather cleared up, and her Majesty was pleased to throw the carriage open and acknowleslge the cheers of the residents, native and imported, of this favourite watering and summer holidaying village. The royal journey terminated at ten minutes to three, Balmoral Castle being reached at that hour. Her Majesty was received at the Highland Palace by Dr. Robertson, of Indego, who, with other gentlemen, was in waiting. The upper utrath of Dee was never looking better. The crops are plen tiful, and falling fast under the sickle of the hus bandman. In the immediate vicinity of the Castle the scene is particularly pleasing, and everything betokens a satisfactory holiday for the court. SECOND FORESTERS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL r r e . s k t L e . r k s CE C . ° d u i: t t r r i a c t t i s7i no of idtheof Fo rts ourYt s e t in e rtdhaey aSouth a n i, d o n d d s o r i z a 2 widow and orphans' fund, took place at the Crystal Palace, and met with extraordinary success. The attendance was numerous, approximating, it was estimated, to 40,000 per sons. The weather being fine the grounds filled rapidly. The outdoor amusements consisted of archery, rifle practice, a pair-oared boat race, and o th er matc h es on the lake, a tu b race, and duck hunt, cricket, quoits, &c. At 1 o'clock a grand procession was formed of the members belonging to 2,305 Courts of the South London district, with banners, regalia, and decorations, the whole preceded by the Foresters band, immediately followed by the Foresters' Ride Corps, most of the brotherhood wearing the recognised costume of the order. 1 ANOTHER CAsrr or SUSPECTED WIFEMURDER.— On Suneln evening (says the North British Daily Mail) uo little sensation was created at Dumbarton on its being reported that a man was in custody of the county police, at their headquarters here, charged with drowning his wife. wtaabsl ef found nroed pocket and The full particulars are not yet known ; but we learn that the name of the accused is James Shaw, about 30 years of age, and resided with the deceased, who was his reputed wife, at Falkirk. Her name was Catherine Morrison, and she was about 28 years of age. It appears that the accused is owner of two horses, which he employs i•n hauling vessels along the Forth and Clyde Canal, the deceased driving one of the horses. They had delivered a vessel at Bowling on Saturday night, and commenced their return homewards to Falkirk along the bank of the canal; and when last seen together, near Dalmuir, about two 'nil as from Kilpatrick, between 11 and 12 o'clock that night, i hey were bothgterart!aell the worse of drink.

When the case was called on plaintiff did not appear, and Mr. George, for defendant, applied for costs, which were granted. It was casually stated that defendant was the in ventor of a valuable corn solvent, and that plaintiff had been employed as agent. Since his dismissal it was stated that plaintiff had set up for himself, and a small handbill was produced stating "A bunion is a swelling on the ball of the great toe, arising from a blow or very great pressure from an ill-shaped boot, and consists of a small bag of water between the knuckle of the joint, &c." Further on it states that " Dr. Buchan's anodyne is composed of eight of the strongest alleviators of pain, and can be had of al bootmakers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON A TRADE SOCIETY.—Henry Banman, bootmaker, was charged with endeavouring to obtain money under false pretences from the Secretary of the West-end Boot and Shoemakr's Society. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared on behalf of the society, which he stated assisted journeymen when out of employ. The prisoner was charged with endeavouring to obtain money by false pre tences. The society consisted of four branches—the West end men's society, the West-end ladies' society, the boot closer's society, and the heavy boot society, and had both provincial and metropolitan lodges where assistance was rendered to workmen on application at the different towns in search of employ, and the funds of the society were dis pensed by means of cards given to the applicants to re ceive assistance in the different towns through which they pass. No workmen, however, was entitled to possess more than one card. On Saturday afternoon last the prisoner applied to the Female Bootmakers' Society, and obtained the necessary assistance on the production of his card, and on the same night ap plied to the Men's Bootmakers' Society and produced a similar card, but in another name. In this case he was not successful in obtaining any money, the forgery being de tected, and he was subsequently given into custody, a third card being found on him when se irched. He (Mr. Lewis) wished to state that the society, having discovered nume rous forgeries of late had been practised on them, and that their charity had been abused, had determined to prosecute in all cases where they discovered the offenders. Mr. Lewis then made out a prima facie case, and asked for a remand to complete the evidence. The prisoner was remanded. THE CASE OF LOVE AND FRAUD.—Vincent COIIUCCI, the Italian artist, of 22, Ovington-square, Brompton, was again brought before Mr. Mansfield charged with defraud ing Miss Frederica Johnstone, of York House, Twicken ham, of the sum of £1,900 by false pretences, vie., that a certain parcel contained love letters, whereas it only con tained old newspapers. Sergeant Parry (instructed by Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely place) prosecuted, and Mr. D. D. Keane, barrister (in structed by Mr. Collette, of the firm of Prichard and Collette, Lincoln's-inn-Fields) defended. The interest in the case had not in the slightest abated. The court, as on former occasions, being most incon veniently crowded, several gentlemen being accommodated with seats on the bench. It is unnecessary to allude to what has transpired of the case, the facts being fresh in the memory of the public. On the prisoner being placed at the bar an interpreter was sworn, and said he had interpreted letter A, and it was a fair translation, as also those marked B, C, D, E, F, G. Mr. Keane—You will be here to translate some letters if I should ask you to do so. Interpreter—Yes. Mr. Keane—Are you an Italian by birth ? Interpreter—Yes. Mr. Keane—Take the letter of the 17th August to the Lady, and tell me the expression of " By God." The interpreter did so. Sergeant Parry then read the letter beginning " No, no," already given, ending, " You have three days for reflection," and then read the letier marked E, addressed to Mr. John - stone, and then another already given, in which prisoner said he would give Miss Johnstone's letters to a magistrate. Sergeant Parry said—These letters being put in, and the translations, will complete this lady's evidence. Mr. Keane—Where is the seal, Miss Johnstone, you pro duced the other day ? Miss Johnstone—T did not produce one. Sergeant Tanner produced the seal. Miss Johnstone (cross-examined by Mr. Keane)—l gave him the seal in exchange for another. I lent it to him. The device was not the same as on this. It was an antique —a small lyre or harp, but I have not got it hero. I cannot remember where I got it, it wis long ago when I was a child, and the only one of the kind I have. Ido not know when I gave it to the prisoner. On the whole, I told the prisoner that he had had more than £2,000 besides the last money. It was not given as gifts—but £3OO for a painting. Mr, Keane—Ycu have to answer all the questions, so pray keep your temper. Miss Johnstone—About February, 1858, he expressed great desire to see his mother. He said he had had to escape, leaving his mother, and that she gave him a ring. Mr. Keane—You said the other day you only knew him three years. Miss Johnstone—l only knew him since 1859, but he was introduced the previous June, July, or August. I gave him £250, but it was to pay for his journey. I gays him a second time money, but I cannot remember when. I have no voucher, and the money was handed over with out any person being present. It was entirely between ourselves. He knew perfectly well we were not going to be married, but marriage had been talked of. It was settled it was not to be when he returned from Italy in May, 1859. Mr. Keane—Had he offered marriage ? Miss Johnstone—l don't know that lam to answer that. Well, yes, he did. All idea of marriage was then aban doned by us. . Mr. Beane—llave you seen the letters which Sergeant Tanner received at the prisoner's house. Miss Johnstone—l have just seen them. Mr. Keane—Let me see 59 and GO. Sergeant Tanner handed the letters to Mr. Keane, who said—Then six of these letters after May, 1859, are letters written by you after you abandoned the idea of marrying him ? Miss Johnstone—He asked me to continue on terms of warm friendship, and I did so, and wrote the letters at his request. Mr. Keane—They were written to a gentleman you were not going to be married to. Sergeant Parry—l am extremely anxious to pre vent the letters being read, and therefore must object to it. I propose that your worship should read them and see whether they are relevant, for if not, the only object in reading them can be to annoy the lady and to gratify a prurient curiosity. Mr. Keane—l do not understand the learned sergeant's objection. Suppose I should break down this lady's credit ? I show by her own letters that she is not to be believed. I shall not tell my learned friend what use I mean to make of these letters, or what I may say to a jury when I have pondered over them. I may show a jury that she is not to ho believed. Sergeant Parry—As I charge the prisoner with endeavourine to extort money from the lady it has struck me that it is curious that the prisoner should wish them read in evidence. I a sk your worship to tell Tanner not to give up the letters, and Mr. Keane that they cannot be read but with the lady's leave. There could be no doubt what the teneur of the letters was. Mr. Keane—The letters are the joint property of the pri soner and the prosecutrix. My learned friend tells mo that I have no right to use them, but I submit if they are evi dence I have. We shall conclude our report in a late edition. THE AMOUNT OF FOOD REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN LIFE.—In respect to the quantity of food required to sup port life in the best way, some reliable information has been obtained by ex p er i m ent. The precise amount which in the adult maintains the weight of the body unchanged during a life of moderate exercise is theoretically the right average quantity. Of course it varies with the kind of food em ployed, some articles furnishing much more nourishment in an equal weight than others. On a diet of fresh meat, bread, and butter, with coffee or water for drink, Dr. Dalton found the entire quantity required during 21 hours by a man in full health, and taking free exercise in the open air, to be— of meat, llb ; of bread, llb 3oz ; of butter or fat, 3iaz ; water, 311 b. That is to say, rather less than 211 b of solid food, and rather more than 3 pints of liquid. These weights would be exceeded if less nutritious substances, such as rice, potatoes, or fruits, formed any considerable portion of the diet. Dr. Hammond found that ho maintained his exact weight by a daily consumption of llb of meat, 18oz of bread, 6oz. of soup, 4oz. of beetroots, loz. of butter, with salt, drinking at the same time 3 pints of water and 10oz. of coffee, With cream and sugar. Any excess above this caused an increase of weight, any diminution, caused a loss. Remembering that the loctor is 6 feet 2in. in height, and weighs 14 stone, we may take these quantities as a fair average for a strong man somewhat beyond the ordinary ataturo.—CyriihiU illayazinofor . ,Sepfenikr. 34 304 110 9 101 103 2} 71i 70f 11 5 211 9 4 12 111 49 1 94 3 951 1291 8f P FOREIGN RAIL' Algerian Antwerp & Rotterdam.
