NONET MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoca. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the operations during the last few days have been of a very limited character. Tea has continued at about previous prides, while sugars, coffee, and rice are without material change in values. Saltpetre and indigo have slightly advanced, but tallow has been dull for both present and forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 525. 3d., and spring delivery 539. per cwt. A steady business is still daily negotiated in the general discount market, but there is a per ceptible increase in the number of inquiries, which has induced rather more firmness on the part of the banks and private establishments; few bills are therefore now discounted below 2a percent., while in some cases accommodation is refused under 21 per cent. At the Stock Exchange the supply of money continues very large, and advances on Go vernment securities are consequently obtainable on exceedingly moderate terms. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester day, and prices were very firm. The sales were estimated at about 10,000 bales. About £36,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yestesday. The steamer Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will take out £136,077, of which only £4,530 is in gold. The Tagus has conveyed 20,000 sovereigns to Lisbon. The traffic receipts of the South-Eastern Rail- Way for the past week amounted to £16,914, While in the corresponding period of 1860 they Were £18,629; and of the Brighton they were £14,866 against .£15,130 last year. Although the flow of gold into the Bank of Eng land is greater than it was some weeks ago, the greater portion of the Australian and other supplies Is taken into tho establishment, and the bullion is therefore expected to show a further accumulation. The total quantity purchased by the authorities since the date of the last published balance-sheet has been £213,000. The Market for Public Securities continues buoyant, and a steady advance is recorded on the Paris Bourse, which, by the way, is one of the principal stimulants to the upward tendency of Consols. Very little change has taken place in the quotations to-day, business having been recorded for transfer, including the dividend, at 941 1, and for account, less the half-year's interest at 921 ; 1 4 , showing a further rise of -} per cent. upon the im proved quotations of yesterday afternoon. An improvement has also taken place in the New Threes, viz., to 921 ; and the Reduced to 921. Ralik Stock is firm at 2311 and 232; India ditto has risen to 226; and the 5 per Cents. to 1068 107. The final instalment of 20 per cent. became due to-day on the latter. Exchequer Bills, March, are 10s. prem., and ditto, June, 12s. to 15s. prem. Foreign Securities continue to attract the atten tion of the speculators, but the dealings to-day show a slight diminution. In most instances the transactions have continued to exhibit indi cations of buoyancy. Turkish 6 per Cents., for example, have been dealt in at 82, and those of 1858 at 72 and 72i ; the latest quotations being 81t, 821, and 721 I respectively. A few bargains have taken place in Spanish which also continue firm, the 3 per Cents. being about 6 11 to 521, while the Certificates are firmer at 7 to 7 1; Venezuelan, which left off yesterday at 248 fp are now about 241. No material change has taken Place in Mexican, and they are quoted at 271 28 ; Sardinian have risen to 831 ; Portuguese to 48fr ; and Russian 41 per Cents. to 93 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. are firm at 90i; and the Deferred at 30. Increased activity has prevailed in the Railway Share Market, and a further advance has taken place in the rates realised for most of the principal undertakings. Caledonians, Great Westerns, North Westerns, and North EAsterns (Berwick) have im proved 6s. ; Great Northern, Lancashire and York shire, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 10s. ; and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee £1; London, Chatham, and Dover, and South Easterns, however, declined 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines were in fair de mand. South A us t r i an an d L om b ardo-Venetian improved to 184 I ; Great Luxembourg, to 91 • East Indian rema i ne d steady at 102 I Groat iudiu.l: Peninsula, at 1011 ; Grand Trunk of Canada brought 21 and 211 ; and Great Western of Canada, 108. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares fully maintained previous rates. London and County brought 371 ; Union of Australia, 391 ; Union of London, 28 ; Crystal Palace Stock, 36; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 71; and Royal Mail Steam, 49. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) JUDGMENT.-IN RE PETITION OF RIGHT OF J. M, HOLMES AND OTHERS. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—ln this case a de murrer is taken on the part of the Crown to the petition of right of several persons claiming a title under Colonel Blyth to certain lands in Canada. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor stated the circum stances of the case, from which it appeared that an Act of Parliament was passed for the formation of a canal in Canada, and it was declared that, in so far as the lands were not required for the purposes of the act, they would be invested in her Majesty the Queen, and restored on ap plication by petition to the parties interested therein. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on referring to the act, ob served that the lands invested in her Majesty the Queen by the act of the Legislature were lands comprised in the schedule. Now the demurrer on the part of the Crown in this suit in effect relates to lands out of the jurisdiction of this court ; and, therefore, as the case is not one within the jurisdiction of this court, a question arises whether I should take upon mys if to judge on the rights of parties abroad. By the first section of an act passed in the last seszion of Parliament, it is enacted that a petition of right may be entertained and considered by the Court of Chan• eery or the Courts of Westminster in the same manner as if the dispute was between subject and subject. His B onour the Vice Chancellor declined to give any opinion as to the right of the party in a court of law to a mandamus to compel restitution of the lands; but his honour was decidedly of opinion that her Majesty the Queen had not renounced her Royal prerogative to become a trustee for the persons beneficially interested in these lands resident in that country. His honour allowed the de murrer with costs. ITHITEMORE V. MASON.--JUDGMENT. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, without calling for a reply, was of opinion that the lease to the bankrupt of one thirteenth share of the mines in question passed to his assignee on his bankruptcy ; and directed an account and valuation to be taken of the share and interest of the bank rupt in the partnership property (at chambers) of what is due to him, and, until the accounts are taken, reserve con sideration of costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) IMPORTANT TO GENTLEMEN TARING " CHAMBERS," AND CAUTION TO STEWARDS OP THE INNS OP COURT.- ANNSWELL V. IRONSIDES. This was an action to recover a sum of 31s. 6d., plaintiff being the steward of Clifford's-inn, and defendant a gentle man. Plaintiff stated that the defendant called upon him and expressed a desire to see a set of chambers. Having seen the chambers he said they would suit, and gave references. Witness told him that the charge for preparing the lease would be one guinea and a half., The references were satis factory, but defendant never came to take possession. His Honour—And the steward of Clifford's-inn seeks to recover for preparing a lease. Plaintiff—Yes. Defendant said—The reason the chambers were not taken was this : I gave references, and plaintiff was not satisfied with one, and as he said be must have two references, I of course fancied the matter was at an end. Plaintiff was certain it was not so, and averred that he was willing to accept the defendant. His Honour—lt appears that you have no right to re cover for this work. St is the work of attorneys, and you are most certainly encroaching upon their provinces. The work for which you charge is attorneys' work, and it is very hard upon those gentlemen, who have to go to great ex pense to perfect themselves in the knowledge of their pro fession, that you should perform work which should be done by them. Plaintiff—The persons at Clifford's-inn are all lawyers, and the steward is deputed by them. His Honour—lf he is surrounded by lawyers he ought to inform himself as the legality of acts for which he seeks to recover at law. lam clearly of opinion that you cannot recover fir preparing this lease ; and shall nonsuit you. I may add that I am against you on the facts. Nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CASE OF PICKING POCKETS.—INQUIRING FOR APARTMENTS.— -Samuel Connor, a tall man, wearing under his coat a blue Guernsey frock, was charged with the following cases of picking pockets : Miss Rosalie Fench, a governess, 9, Charles-street, St. James's, said she was in Mr. Chester's trimming shop, Tottenham-court-road, the previous afternoon about half past four, when feeling something at her pocket she put her hand down and caught the prisoner's hand in it. She seized him by the coat, but he got away, and she then spoke to a man, but he refused to go after him. He was, however, caught and taken into custody. She missed from her pocket her purse containing half• a-crown. This case being proved, Mrs. Ann Whitehouse, of 39i, Howland-street, said that at four the previous afternoon she opened the street door, in answer to a knock, when the prisoner, pointing to a card in her parlour window, said, " I see you have apart ments to let." She said she had, but not liking his ap pearance she said she thought they were too expensive for him, as they were 18s. a week. He replied, "Oh I am sure they will, as lam a clerk in the Bank." She asked him what bank, and he said, " The Shilling Bank in Fonehureh-street." He was all this while standing close to her on the top step, and she thought her dress rustled. He then asked her to let him see the rooms, but she told him, being frightened, that if he eame the next morning at nine, he could see them. He then left, and as soon as he had done so she thought of her purse, and on putting her hand into her pocket she found it was gone. She called the prisoner back as he turned into Russell-place, but he still went on, and she then asked a man to stop him, but he refused, saying the man had done nothing to him. The prisoner then ran through London-street. Her purse con tained half a sovereign, a shilling, a sixpence, and a three penny piece, a small note, and a piano key. The constable said ho found on the prisoner two half sovereigns and a threepenny piece, Prisoner asked the witness whether she was positive he was the man. Mrs. Whitehouse said she was, though she had stated that it was another man the previous night to the in spector. Mr. Beadon said ho should remand the prisoner, who is well known to the police, for a week. CLEVER CAPTURE.—Richard Price, address refused, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being concerned with Samuel Lyons in stealing a revolver of the value of £8 from the shop of Mr. Beattie, gunmaker, Regent-street. It appears that the man Lyons was tried yesterday at the sessions, and while the trial was on the prisoner Price was observed to be very anxious as to the fate of Lyons. After the trial he made off hastily, when Sergeant Joy, 9 C, and and Shillingford, 141 C, went after him, and took him into custody; and on Mr. Thomas William Dobson, jeweller, of 32, Piccadilly, being sent for ho indentified him as one of the men he had watched and seen with Lyons. When he was taken into custody, he offered great resistance, drawing a knife, and trying to escape. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner, but he will be com mitted for trial. TERRIBLE MURDER IN IRELAND.—A farmer, named John Quinlan, residing near Portanein, in the county Limerick, when returning home on Saturday even ing, was shot dead near his own residence. He had been transacting some business, and left by the six o'clock train for Oala Station, where a car was in waiting to convey him home. When passing his sister's house on the road, he alighted, for the purpose of paying her a visit, and was immediately fired at from the opposite side of the road. Ten slugs penetrated the heart, and ho fell dead. A man recently evicted is in custody on suspicion. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.—The fourth sea son of these concerts began last evening, as formerly, at St. James's-hall, and, also as formerly, under the able direction of Mr. Arthur Chappell. The new series promises to be as successful as the preceding ones have been, The entertain mentt was of the same high qu a lit y ; and the hall was filled to the doors, the audi ence i nc l u di ng many individuals dis tinguished in (Aix musical circles, LITERATURE. Said and Done. Smith, Elder, and Co. This is a story of considerable ability, possessing grert interest. The attention of the reader is never suffered to flag, no page is dull and no description wearisome ; but of description or detail there is in truth very little. The tale is chiefly told, and the characters pourtrayed by means of conversation, which is al ways the most attractive and successful method of story telling when cleverly done, but at the same time the most difficult to do easily and well. The title, "Said and Done," is borne out by the motto, which is chosen from the writings of the late Rev. F. Robertson, of Brighton, the gifted and lamented preacher whose elegant words have clothed so many unrecognised truths. "It is a perilous thing," says the sentence on the title page, to separate feeling from acting ; to have learnt to feel rightly without acting rightly. It is a danger to which, in a refined and polished age, we are peculiarly exposed. The romance, the poem, and the sermon teach us h ow t o f ee l. But the danger is this—feeling is given to lead to action; if feeling be suffered to awake without passing into duty, the character becomes untrue." This inconsistency or harmony between dreaming and working the author has endeavoured to portray in the dramatis personae of the story. One of them, a poet, much given to melancholy moralising, and what Carlyle terms gossamer gauze, finds his poetical day-dreams and elevated sentiments only too attractive to one of the heroines of the tale, Cicelie Bracken bury. Cicelie is a charming character, although too ready to indulge in unreal reveries and airy castle building; fortunately she discovers, or is shown, her mistake and learns to ap preciate sterling merit although not robed in gos samer gauze. The chief interest of the story, how ever, centres upon her cousin Aurelia, only child and heiress of Sir John Brackenbury. Aurelia is represented as a noble character notwithstanding a large share of pride and reserve. She is thoroughly truthful in thought and action, quick-sighted and severe when she detects insincerity. Unfortu nately, partly from circumstances, partly from too ready a compliance with the wishes of her parents, her life does not bear out her aspira tions. She is weak, inconsistent and unjust, though rather from the force of events than from any deliberate intention. But at last she awakes to her error at the call of a great sorrow, and learns that though her hopes have been disappointed, her life need not be unworthy of them, and so she sets to work to bring her feelings and her actions into har mony once more. Ernest Chaloner, Cicelie's half-brother, is a noble and unselfish character, who realises, most of all the group, the due con sistency between "saying and doing." The story is more like real life than works of fiction gene rally are, inasmuch as the untoward events and unpropitious circumstances of outward life do not accommodate themselves to the wishes of heroes or heroines, but they, on the contrary, have to shape their course according to uncompromising realities. The reader interested in the graphically drawn characters is tempted to wish for the return of the benignant sway of fiction, and lays down the volume with a feeling of dissatisfaction at the con clusion. The first half of the book is the best, the latter portion being a little hurried, but the atten tion is secured throughout. The complicated cousin ships of the Brackenburys and the Chaloners intro duce a variety of characters, most of them happily individualised. Altogether it is a volume full of attraction and interest, not without its moral, though hidden rather than professed, and so simply and naturally written that those who care for no thing beyond entertainment can scarcely fail to find what they seek. DE LA RUE'S DIARIES AND POCKET BOOKS. The close of the year is foretold by the appear ance of the seasonable almanacks and diaries, and foremost among the many rival publications are ranked those of Messrs. De la Rue. The wonderful variety which is displayed in kind and size, the clearness and excellence of type and paper, and the elegance of the binding and general getting up secure the approval of the pub lic. The Diaries contain every species of information requisite for the man of business, whether political, legal, scientific or general, and every convenience ordinarily met with in a diary or memorandum book. The pocket-books are per fect of their kind, and are admirably suited for gift-books at the coming festive season. They are made in varying sizes to suit all tastes, and he must be a critical mortal, indeed, who could fail to be satisfied with them. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

A master well-digger, named Lardin, met with his death the day before yesterday under the following cir cumstances :—Several of his men were engaged in sinking a well for a person residing at Villejuif. and had reached the depth of 60 feet when he went down to examine the work, and while there the sides fell in and buried him under nearly 20 feet of sand. It required 20 hours' incessant labour to reach the unfortunate man, who must have been suffocated instantaneously. GRAY'S INN, Nor. 18.—At a pension of the Hon. Society of Gray's-inn, holden this day, Joseph Burgin, Esq., and William Nicholson, Esq., were called to the de gree v barrister-at-law, 'Y«. 771 E RECENT TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN NORTH WALES. The following the report of Mr. Higson, the Government inspector of mines for the district, in reference to the above dreadful occurrence : Little or no progress has been made in re-open ing the South Mostyn colliery since the jury were first summoned to inquire into the circumstances which caused the death of 10 persons there on the 26th of September last. lam not, therefore, better prepared now than I was then to give my opinion as to the cause of the explosion, and Mr. Eyton, in a letter addressed to me on the Bth inst., states that although he has had a strong force of men at work, they have not made one inch of progress for some time, and that he considers it desirable to abandon the old air courses, which are completely closed up. If that be imperative, the object contemplated in adjourning the inquiry from time to time will be frustrated, inasmuch as an approximate description ' of the state of the workings and the ventilation of the colliery, immediately before the casualty hap- pened, can only be given after a careful inspection thereof, when they have been restored to something like the state in which they were at the time. As the investigation now stands, the most material con clusion to be drawn, though unsupported by direct evidence, is that the return air from the working places in the mine below, when coming through the fan, was highly imflammable, and that it was there ignited, either by the engine man driving the fan so fast after the :stoppage as to cause the shaft thereof to heat to such an extent as to set the wood partition that surrounded it on fire, the flame of which might cause the return air, when vitiated to a certain extent with explosive gas, to burn only without exploding, or that it was ignited at a naked or uncovered light. In either case the result would be similar. If the return air contained the proper mixture of inflammable gas, it would burn without exploding, but as the flame approached the boun dary of the place that contained it the mixture might become explosive. It seems, therefore, almost conelusive, that when once ignited the flame would rapidly make its way through the body of, inflam- mable air even to the extremity of the workings, if it extended so far; but upon coming in contact with purer air then a more explosive mixture would be formed, it would explode and not till then, and this in some degree strengthens the evidence of Thomas Meredith, wherein be states that some time elapsed after discovering the fire before he heard the second noise, which he says was very loud. " So far as I have been able to examine the works and premises, it seems to me as if the explosion took place in the return air course, as the stoppings are blown outward from that into the inby air road, and the communication that existed between the pits completely closed. " The immediate cause of the explosion may be traced from the foregoing remarks, but the primary cause is still too obscure to hazard even an expression that might lead the minds of the jury from the course they are legally and morally bound to adopt ; still the presence of such an extraordinary quantity of gas at the mouth of an upcast pit is a fact which, for the sake of humanity, should net be dis regarded or passed by without the strictest investigation, inasmuch as it is a very unusual cir cumstance, and one that should never be suffered to exist. " If the powar and efficiency of the fan were in capable of producing an adequate amount of ventila tion, or if it could only barely keep the works clear of gas, with no margin or surplus power readily applicable in cases of emergency, and a large quan tity of gas being constantly emitted, or perhaps suddenly liberated, then stopping the fan for the time mentioned by the witness Lloydd, in which, as he was busily engaged in repairing the strap, he might be mistaken (instead of stopping only 20 minutes it might be an hour or even more), was in my opinion sufficient to cause gas to accumulate, and to be drawn through the fan soon after it was set to work again, where there can be scarcely any doubt it was first ignited, and after burning from there to the tail end of the accumulation, or the train of the vitiated or inflamm6ble air, it exploded in some of the roads or workings below. " From the plan before you, which is sworn to be a correct representation of the working and other places now in use in the colliery, it appears the working places lie at the distance of 1,000 yards from the foot of the uncast pit, and they are ap proached by an horizontal tunnel from the down cast pit which orosses the measures at right angles to the strike of from 600 to 700 yards in length, the upcast being 110 yards on the rise of the downcast pit, and only 60 yards deep, while the latter is about 140 yards deep. The air entered by the downcast pit along one tunnel into the workings, and returned from thence along another tunnel and inclined road to the uncast pit. " There are at intervals, on the side of each tunnel, openings into old and abandoned works which were probably discharging gas into the return air course in large quantities. If this were so, the working places might be clear and appa rently safe, while a portion of the return air course and the upcast pit were in an explosive state. If therefore they were not in the habit of inspecting those places constantly it might pass unobserved." FOREIGN RAILWAYS. Algerian Antwerp &t Rotterdam. Ardennes........ Bah.&S.Fran..Lim.7 p.c.

The following letters received from diggers at Tuapeka have been extracted from the Nelson Exa- miner : " Tuapeka Goldfields, Aug. 14. Dear Friend,—l now write you a few lines about Tuapeka goldfields, so that you will be able to inform your friends of the truth about the diggings. I was a week in getting here from Dunedin. The roads are in an awful state. It takes 20 bullocks to pull one dray with a 12cwt. load. The diggings lie in a gully between two ranges of hills, and a small creek runs through, where the diggers have their tents pitched close alongside. The gully is very narrow in some places, and not over 200 yards in the widest; all the best claims are taken up. Any man, however, who can stand up to his knees all day in water can get 255. a day and his grub. The average findings on these diggings are about £2 per man per day; but there are plenty not making more than their grub, and there are some working for 10s. a day and their grub. There are a few lucky ones making about £4O per day, but that is only one party consisting of six. My advice is for people to stay where they are for two months ; this gully will then be worked out, and Mr. Reid says that when it is he will show them another, I would also advise parties of six to form themselves at home, and provide themselves with a California pump, sluice, picks, shovels, tent, blankets, &c., and whatever they need in the way of provisions can be obtained in Dunedin. I have had a cold ever since I came here ; at present I would not go and dig for any man under £3 a day. It is killing work, and every man deserves to do well. F.8.T." "Dunedin, Aug. 14.—Surprise, I ex pect, will be stamp ed on yourcoubnuttesnuaenhceiswthhee Case, see my letter headed Dun edin, and here I am. The day we wrote to you we all started for the diggings, and have been out ever since on the snowy ranges, lost our way, got short of food, and had to find our way back as best we could, nearly famished. I never went through so much fatigue and hardship in my life. I thought we were done for. Three days and as many nights we were forced to clear away the snow, which was three or four feet deep, and lie down with our blankets thrown over us. There was not a whole biscuit among us for the last two days we were out. Every man in the party (and there were 35 alto gether) was completely knocked up, and all are either in town here or at the accommodation house, bringing themselves round again. My shoulders are cut to the bone carrying my swag, and all my teeth are loose with the intense frost, but my spirits are not broken. I feel quite sanguine, and intend going to work here at once for some time till the roads become practicable. The weather is very severe at the diggings at present, and as I have no pump or tent it will be just as well to wait two o or three weeks till the weather gets fine. The news from from the gold fields is very good, but seyere.—N.

" SIR,—AII the papers of to-day repeat, after the Prussian Gazette, the news of 15,000 muskets having been seized by the Russian authorities on ore of Count Zatnoyski's estates. Allow me to make use, on this occasion, .of the expression of M. Royer-Collard—" I do not know, but I affirm" —that this news is evidently incorrect on every point. Sufficient proof of this is to be found in the conduct, during the year, of all Poland, in cluding all parties, without distinction of place, class, calling, or religion. Although the brother of Count Andrew Za moyski, I am not authorised to speak in his name, all political relations having necessarily ceased between us since the year 1831. I emigrated in order to continue abroad a struggle which our disasters had interrupted; he devoted himself to the service of his country by rigorously keeping within the limits of what was permitted under the Russian regime. But the whole of his life— a life of 43 years' uninterrupted public service—. contradicts the imputation of which he is now the object. It is well known, too, what the Russian police is; and it is evident that under such a system the introduction of arms, even in small quantities, is simply impossible. But what, above all, prevents the arrival of arms is, that Poland does not now require any to defend its rights. The Count Zamoyski, spoken of in to-day's news, is the same who in March last was addressed in words which have since become famous. The Emperor's deputy, disconcerted in the face of a population which knelt in prayer under the fire of volleys of musketry, once said to him—" Let us fight—l will order arms to be provided you." The answer of the Count was—" We shall not fight, Prince. You may go on killing us as yon have done; but you will not have peace until you, who are not Poles, quit the country. Then, and then only, shall we forget our grievances, and ren der homage to the Emperor as our King." Since this interview took place, out of four viceroys or governors who have succeeded one an• other in Warsaw in the space of six months, one has died of grief, another has committed suicide, and two have left the country tired out, having exhausted every expedient at their command. This is because Poland has, in truth, invented a new mode of making war. It is the upholding, without arms, of a right which no longer re quired declaring, and for which every suffering that is endured is a triumph. _ _ If I am asked why this imputation, which is absurd as it is mendacious, is made, I will an swer by two words which explain all, " The Mode rates !" "It is they," according to the expression of one of the most daring of the envoys from St. Petersburg, "that constitute the force before which we in Poland now feel ourselves powerless." And why is this? Because they blush before the world at their impotence against the Moderates. The character of moderation, then, must be taken from the Poles at all hazards. Already the Consistory and half of the Chapter of Warsaw have been impri soned, together with tie members of two commis sions of inquiry, which the latter has had the courage to appoint in succession, in order to inves tigate into the profanation of the churches. Simi larly the two Protestant priests, the Grand Rabbi, the two Vice-Rabbis, the President of the Jewish Consistory, several bankers, and the. Provost of the Merchants, have been taken to prison, evidently because they are all Moderates. In the provinces, in Lithuania, in Volhynia, old men of 90 years of age—such as Mr. Wagner and Count Tarnowski, have been sent of the country. And yet, during the whole year that these terrible trials have lasted, not a single soldier or police agent has been struck by a Pole, not a single insult has been offered to the most insignificant symbol of the Imperial authority. On the contrary, violence and insult are received by all with the invincible confidence given to the feel ing of right, the unanimity of a great people, and its faith in Divine Justice. Bat the justice of man, so far as it is represented by the public opinion of civilised nations, is also one of those elements of strength on which Poland desires to rely. To mis lead this public opinion, is the object of the unceas ing machinations of our enemies. I have thought that the name of my brother, and the danger which to-day's news shows to be hanging over his head, made it my duty to endeavour at least to give to the 'measures which seem to be threatening him their true character. I shall, therefore, be parti cularly obliged to you, sir, if you will kindly facilitate my accomplishment of this duty. Receive, &c., LADISLAS ZAMOYSKI. OYSTER FISHING ON THE EAST COAST. A discussion of some interest has taken place in the Colchester Town Council in regard to the management of the local oyster fishery. Mr. W. W. Hawkins, who formerly represented Colches ter, brought the subject forward, and argued that with better management the revenue which the town at present derives from the fishery (£750 per annum) might be considerably increased. The beds were not sufficiently worked, and there were large tracts of good oyster ground uncultivated. The oysters of the present season had been dete riorated by the non-removal of oysters which had died in consequence of the severity of the weather last winter; they should have been dredged up, laid upon the mud until the shells were elean, and then returned to the bed of the river as " culch," in stead of being permitted to remain emitting noxious gases to poison healthy fish. Great as was the quantity of brood abstracted from the highly favoured spot known as Pont, an open water 16 miles in length and three in width, outside the limits of the Colne fishery, no oysters had ever been known to have been brought there. The Colne Fishery Company had purchased no brood from the locality for many years past, but the major part was purchased for oyster companies in Kent. The price of spat, or brood, varied from 4s to 5s 6d per wash; in 1859 and 1860 it was as low as 3s to 4s per wash, but even this depreciated price did not induce the purchase of a single wash for the Colne Fishery Company, and the fishermen of Rowhedge, Wivenhoe, and Brightlingsea were entirely at the mercy of the Kent companies. Of late years the greater part of the oysters from the Colne fishery had been shipped for Ostend and other continental towns, as they were too under sized for the London market, as well as inferior in quality to the Kent supply. The last few years' sa fro m 5,000 sth;oo t Coo 6,0001nF bushels r y tsse average dto be price 30,000 or 3 ricebeing 6s s t o 38s p er bushel; aatinannduwmME: h r. Hawkins contended that the quantity might be increased t bushels and that a considerable quantity of the more cheap and common oyster might also be raised to ad vantage. The Whitstable Oyster Company received last year £50,000 for natives, and a further sum of £12,000 for the common kinds, and Kent oysters were now worth 42s per bushel in the London market, while Colne oysters, almost unsaleable in London, only brought 36s per bushel on the Conti nent. This year the Colne Company would raise 7,000 bushels, but even assuming that these oystersb realised 40s per bushel, the total proceeds would yield £70,000, £14,000, while 35,000 bushels would £70,000, secure £3,500 per annum to the Colches ter town council, and give the dredgermen and only ielded com pany £66,500.
