We learn this morning that the question of granting a license for the consecration of a Bishop for the Sandwich Islands is under the consideration of the Home Secretary; and it is said that the Bishop of London and others who have opposed the consecration withou such license are willing that it should be drawn up in such lan guage as not to partake of the nature:of a Royal mandate, or have any pretensions to confer powers on the Primate for the act. we shall be curious to see how such a document is worded.—John Bull (Second edition.)

LA TV 1371ELLIGENCE—(This Day.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). BOW-STREET. Mr. Sleigh objected. COURT OF CHANCERY. APPEAL - JUDOMENT.-WILKINS V. HOT. This is an appeal from the decision of Vice Chancellor Sir John Stuart's dismissing the plaintiff's bill. And the question raised is, whether there was an insurable policy effected on the lives of the executors named in the testator's will for £4,000, with the Albion Assurance and other com panies, and whether the trustees under the will were liable for misapplication of the money, the will declaring that each trustee was to be liable for his own defaults only. Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. Southgate were heard for the appellant. The Lord Chancellor, without calling on the respondent's counsel to reply, in delivering judgment, said that the trustees were completely protected from any personal liability for the misappropriation of the trust funds by their co-trustees, by the indemnity clause in the testa tor's will. The Lord Chaneellor affirmed tie decision of the Vice- Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal, with costs, THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST A. LADY.—Mrs. Barbara Wilson attended with her bail this afternoon to meet the charge made against her, which was that she had intermarried with Captain Le Hunt Wilson, her first hus band, Jonathan Gotobed, being then and still alive. Mr. Sleigh attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Giffard defended the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh said on the last occasion it would be recol lected that the adjournment took place in order that some person present at the first marriage might be produced to identify the lady as the person married to Jonathan Goto bed. He had now that person present, and he should call him as a witness. Mr. George Hughes said—l reside at Brentwood, in Essex. In 1848 I was acolite at St. Helen's Chapel at that place. In August, 1848, I remember a marriage being cele brated between two persons named Jonathan Gotobed and Barbara Catherine Morris. I see both the parties now in court. Mr. Sleigh—That is the case, your worship. Mr. Giffard—You will call the police-constable who took the lady into custody. Mr. Sleigh—Oh, yes. Incipcotor Maokoneie was then sent for, but before he came into court Mr. Sleigh thought he had better leave the case as it at present stood. Mr. Giffard said his learned friend knew the best course to pursue. In defending the lady against the charge brought against her, he should show that the lady at the bar had been made the victim of a most heartless conspiracy. The whole charge against the lady had been got up with a view of altering the disposition of certain property, and ever since the marriage of the lady had been the subject of the most relentless persecution. The lady and Captain Wilson, her husband, had lived on terms of the greatest affection, and although it had been said that he was moving in the prosecution, that was not the case. The lady left Paris to meet a charge of conspiracy that bad been made against her, which at the last mo ment had been stopped in its progress for trial, and the present proceedings were intended to remedy a mistake that had been made on the first occasion, and he should be in a position to prove that a compromise had been attempted to be made by the prosecution. The prosecutor had in timated to Mrs. 'Wilson that if she pleaded guilty to the bigamy they would withdraw the charge of conspiracy. He felt that the prosecution was a most cruel piece of persecu tion, Mr. Giffard then called Mr. Phillip Hathaway, solicitor and attorney, Wimbledon, who said—l was professionally employed in this prosecution by Capt. Wilson. I saw him personally in Paris about the 23,1 of October. I was telegraphed for. I saw Captain Wilson's mother in Paris. Captain Wilson was under arrest in Paris. Mr. Giffard—At the instance of his mother directly or indirectly ? Mr. Corrio thought that the real prosecutor ought to appear, and before the case was further gone into he was of opinion that the course ho ought to take was to adjourn the proceedings for a month in order to enable him to do so Mr. Giffard said he would willingly agree to such an arrangement. Mr. Corrie—Then the case had better stand over for a month. The lady, of course, will attend. Mr. Giffard—Of course, your worship. I suppose her own recognisances will be enough. Mr. Sleigh—The same bail as last is now in court ; I think that ought to bo taken. Mr. Corrie—Very well, let that be so. The case will come before me again on the 14th of December. Mr. Giffard—Suppose Capt. Wilson should not attend ? Mr. Corrie—My present impression is that I shall die. miss the case.

Yesterday about three o'clock a shocking murder was discovered to have been perpetrated at No. 10, Drury-court, Strand ; the unfortunate victim being a little girl about 11 years of age, named Mary Ann Reeves, and the murderer, it is supposed her brother, Richard Reeves, a lad of 17. The unfortunate child, it appears, on account of the out do -)r occupation of her parents, was usually left in charge of the younger children, and early yesterday she was seen in the court. Towards the middle of the day she was nowhere to be found, and inquiries after her were set on foot. A number of the companions of the poor little child, searched about the neighbourhood, but without success. Two boys named Carney and Lynes were also engaged in the search, and when near St. Clement Dane's Church, the brother, who had been walking with them, told them it was no use looking about for his sister, and directed them to go home and tell his (Reeves's) father that he had strangled his sister in the coal cellar, and that he intended to drown himself. The lads, horrified with this intelligence, ran to the residence of the lather, who was found in a state of intoxication in his room on the second floor, and quite incapable to understand anything that was communicated to him. As soon as the other parties in the house heard the message young Reeves had sent home they proceeded to the cellar, and there the poor child was found quite dead, with a piece of rope tied tightly round her neck. In a short time after the dis covery of the murder, Mr. Allfrey, of King's College Hos pital, arrived, and he pronounced life to have been extinct about four hours. The police took possession of the house, and Rogers, 17 F, despatched a brother constable to the station in Bow-street, in order that steps might be taken for the apprehension of the lad Reeves. The father has for years been employed by the tradesmen of Covent-garden market in mending selves and baskets, and the lad usually helped him in his occupation. Young Reeves is so well known in the neighbourhood, that it is almost im possible for him to elude the vigilant search that is now being made after him. He appears to be a person of the most vindictive disposition, as but a few days ago he attacked his mother with a knife, and very severely injured her. N o motive can at present be ascribed for the perpetration of the dreadful crime. The discovery of the murder has occasioned the greatest exuttement in tne crowded neignoourhood of Drury Lau.. About half-past four the police succeeded in apprehend ing the lad Reeves in Carey-street, Lincoln-inn-Fields. On being taken to the station-house, he made a statement, which leaves no doubt of his guilt. A photograph of the prisoner was found in his father's room, which was at once taken possession of by the police, and no doubt facilitated his capture. He is diminutive ;in stature, and has the ap pe3rance of not being over fourteen years of age. EXAMINATION AT BOW-STREET (THIS DAY). The prisoner was placed at the bar of Bow-street Police court this morning, before Mr. Corrie, when Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, read the charge against him, which was, that he, Richard Reeves, of 10, Drury court, was charged with wilfully murdering Mary Ann Reeves, aged 10 years, by strangling her with a rope. The first witness called was the prisoner's mother, Mary Reeves. She said—l reside at 10, Drury-court. I last saw my daughter alive about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Her name was Mary Ann Reeves. I saw her last night; she was then dead. The prisoner is my son-in-law. I married his father, and I have had the care of him since he was seven years of age. The little girl Mary Ann was my own daughter. Mr. Burnaby—Do you ask your mother-in-law any questions ? Prisoner—No; I ask her nothing. John Lynes—l reside at No. 7, Drury-court, I have been porter at an hotel. I know the prisoner. About ten minutes to two I was standing at a lamp-post at the end of Drury-court, when the prisoner came up and said he had lost his little sister, and he asked me and Wm. Carney to take a walk down the Strand to find her. We agreed to do so, and went as far as the Pillars, opposite St. Clement's Church, when he told us it was no use looking any further for her, and said I was to go home and tell his father that if he wanted Mary Ann he had strangled her, and that he would find her in the coal cellar. The prisoner then left us, when I and Carney ran to the house of the prisoner's father. I saw the father, who was tipsy, and told him what Reeves had said. The father stopped at the trap at the entrance of the cellar, but did not go down the trap. I did so. Mr. Darkin here explained that the cellar formed a por tion of the back kitchen ; when the trap door was raised, any person descending had to drop into the place. Witness continued—l went down and found the body of somethe all o l o y a i l n o g p n u he o r n o t h h e e e c k o . a l s I q t u o i o te k d t h e e a d b . d T y h e u r p e a w n a d s carried it as far as the trap-door, when I gave it to Mrs. James and Mrs. Griffiths. As soon as I got up Carney and myself ran off to King's College Hospital. Mr. Burnaby—Tell the magistrate 'whether there was anything round the child's neck when you found her. Witness—Oh, yes. There was a piece of clothes line. The rope produced is like it. Mr. Corrie—Do you wish to ask the witness any ques tions ? Prisoner—No, sir. William Carney—l reside at 7, Drury-court, and am a carpenter's labourer. I have known the prisoner some time. I also knew the deceased. I recollect seeing the prisoner in Drury-court, I was with Lynes about two o'clock. I said to prisoner " Hallo, Dick, let's go and look for your little sister." We all three went up the court, and when we got to St. Clement's Church prisoner turned round and said, "It's no use going any further, Bill; if you want to find my sister, tell my father he will find her in the cellar, and that I have strangled her." He then went away, and I and the last witness went to the father's place. Mrs. James—l reside at 10, Drury-court. My husband is a stage carpenter at Drury-lane. I know the prisoner and the little girl. Yesterday morning, about half-past nine, the little girl Mary Ann was last seen. About that time I heard the prisoner call out, " Polly." She said, "What is it you want ?" He said, "Bring me the keys of the back place down." She said, " Dick, I don't know where they are." He said, "If you look on the table near the back window you'll find them." Shortly after 1 heard her say, "I've got 'em, Dick," and she went down stairs. I did not hear her come upstairs. About ten o'clock I heard Mrs. Reeves call out, " Polly, are you upstairs ?" I called out, "No, she is not." I know she was missing about a quarter to ten. I don't know anything more about the cir cumstance until the body of the poor child was handed up from the cellar by the witness Lynes. I placed the body of the child on a sofa which was in the front shop. The string was tied tightly round the child's neck. There were two running knots on the right-hand side of the child's neck. The rope was here shown to witness, and she identified it as the piece taken from the child's neck. The rope had a loop at one end, through which the other had been passed, forming, when pulled tightly, a large slip knot. I have known the prisoner to quarrel with his sister about eating the bread. I have also heard him threaten her. Mr. Charles Henry Allfrey—l am at present house phy sician at King's College Hospital. I was fetched yesterday by the two boys Lynes and Carney to No. 10, Drury-court, there I found the dead body of a child. The rope was handed to me, and I compared it with the mark on the child's neck. It corresponded exactly, Death was clearly caused by suffocation through strangulation. There were no other marks of iolence on the body of the deceased. Jemima Kedge, a girl about 18 years old, said—l live at 2, Chair-court, Ship •yard. I know the prisoner. Yester day morning, about 10 o'clock, he came to me and said "I've murdered my sister." I said, I can't believe you've done such a thing," and he said "Yes, I have." He after wards said " Where's Lizzy ?" I told him she was up stairs. He asked me to go up stairs and tell her he wanted her. She came down stairs, and he asked her if I had told her anything—and he then said he had strangled his sister. I was going out when he said, " Good bye, I shall see you again about six." I was afraid to tell anybody what the prisoner had said. About half-past 2he came to our place again, and said, "I can't rest, so I've sent two chaps to tel mother what I've done. Mr. Burnaby—Do you wish to ask the witness any ques tions ? Prisoner—No ; nothing. Police-constable, F 96—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, I went in search of the prisoner. At about a quar ter to five, I saw him leaning on a post in Carey-street, at the corner of Serle's-place. I went up to him, and putting my hand on his shoulder, said, " I want you ;" he imme diately replied, " I know what for, I'll go with you—l did it." I said " You are charged with the murder of your sister, be cautious what you say, for what you tell me I shall use in evidence." He then said again, " I did it ; she aggravated me to it." I took him to the station, searched him, and found a purse with three pawnbroker's duplicates in it, nothing else. Mr. Durkin said that was the whole of the evidence. Mr. Corrie, addressing the prisoner, said you have heard the evidence against you. I now have to ask you whether you wish to say anything in answer to the charge, but be fore you do so, I have to caution you that what you do say will be taken down in writing and used in evidence at your trial. Prisoner—l won't say nothing. The witnesses were then bound over, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial for wilful murder. The prisoner was then removed. During the whole of the examination he exhibited the greatest carelessness, and seemed to treat the whole of the proceedings with the greatest indifference. He is rather an intelligent•looking lad, with a fair complexion and light hair. He was dressed in a brown frock-coat, tweed waist coat, and corduroy trousers. The crowd outside the police-court was very great. The steam line-of-battle ship Massena, carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, left Toulon on Tuesday for Oran, where she is to take on board the 500 men of the 2d Regiment of Zouaves, who hold themselves in readiness to embark.

ROOP-STRIPPING.—Thomas Ryan, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwlatt with stripping the lead from the roof of a school in Little lowland-street, Fitzroy square. John Joseph Puddock, 39, Upper John-street, Fitzroy. square, said he had not been in bed above a few minutes the previous night when he heard some one on the roof of the adjoining house. He got up, and from his landing window saw the prisoner busily engaged in stripping the lead from the roof of the houses, 3 and 4, Little Howland-street, used as schools. Ile then got a constable, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Pratt, 45 E, said he saw 'the prisoner on the roofs of the schools stripping off the lead, and heard a voice say, "Look out, Jack." As soon as prisoner saw him he made off into a house, and, on his going in after him, ho found him in bed partially dressed. He told the prisoner he wanted him, and he said, " Oh, yes, I know all about it." He then took the prisoner into custody. He (Pratt) wished for a remand, as the schools had changed hands the previous day. Mr, Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. THAMES, A JUVENILE SMUGGLER.—Edward Mitchell, a boy, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with smuggling 311bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. A Custom-house officer, named Alfred Gullington, had his attention called to the prisoner as he was leaving the Batavier, a Dutch steamship, trading between Rotterdam and London. The prisoner was carrying a bundle, which the officer opened, and found it to contain a small quantity of tea and tobacco. The officer said to him, " Have you any more tobacco, or any thing else about you liable to duty ?" to which the boy replied, " Nothing at all." The officer placed his hand upon the lad's breast, and found concealed under his shirt 311bs. of foreign manufactured compressed tobacco. Itwas liable to a prohibitory duty of 9s. d. per lb. The prisoner, in defence, said he had to bring the tobacco on shore for a sailor who was on board another steamship, called the Duke of Cornwall, in the river. Mr. Selfe—You are a young smuggler, but if sailors think they can escape by employing youngsters to bring contra band tobacco on shore for them, they are very much A.Liis taken. A respectable woman, the mother of the boy, implored of the magistrate to be merciful, and aid her son was only fourteen years of age. _ _ Mr. Selfe—He told fibs. Respectable mothers shall not save juvenile smugglers. The old Batavier many years ago was a regular smuggler. _ The officer—lt is little better now with the now Batavier. Mr. Selfe fined the boy 345., the simple value of and duty on the tobacco. ALLEGED ROBBERY AND ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—A STRANGE CASE.—Jonathan Smith, the chief engineer of a screw steam ship called the Balderey, lying in the West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing two gun barrels, the property of J. and E. Barnett and Son, of the Minories, and vio lently assaulting Francis Kelly, a polico constable, No. 130 H. It appeared that last night, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, the prisoner knocked loudly at the door of the private dwelling of the constable, Kelly, in Tenter-street, Goodman's-fields, Whitechapel, and upon Kelly inquiring his business he said ho wanted a lodger in the house. Kelly said, "We keep no lodgers here," and observing that the prisoner wai rather the worse for liquor, advised him to go away. The prisoner then became very noisy and abusive, and told Kelly he could not remove him. Kelly, however, soon did so, and the prisoner then turned round upon him, and hit him under the ear. A struggle took place, and the prisoner violently assaulted the police-constable, and marked his face. The prisoner, who had two gun-barrels in his possession, was then taken into custody. lie gave several accounts of the way he became possessed of the barrels. The prisoner said ho was an engineer, belonging to Hull, and that he was " very fresh" last night. He was in a public-house, and a man said he had gun-barrels to sell, and asked him Ns. for the two produced. Ho offered him 4s. and a pot of beer for one, which was accepted. The man followed him out of the house, and said he would take 3s. for the second one, and he bought that too. Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner if he would state what he wanted with gun barrels. The prisoner—l am sure I don't know, sir; I was by the head, and did not know what I was about. Benjamin Naylor, foreman to Messrs. Barnett, gun makers in the Nlinories and Wapping, identified the gun barrels. They were two of 26 sent to the proof-house in Whitechapel on Thursday. The gun barrels had not yet been returned from the proof-house, and he could not say how many were missing. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until Tuesday, but soon afterwards, at the earnest request of Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, adjourned the case until Mond a y, and accepted' bail for the prisoner. Captain Alexander Scott, master of the Balderey, became the prisoner's surety to the amount of £5O. The Rhone overflowed its banks at Lyons on Sunday last, and the Saone, swollen by the waters of the Rhone, rose three feet the same day. Some slight injury was done to the works constructed to retain the waters in their bed. The Rhone, however, began to fall during the night, and the Saone, freed from the pressure acting on it by the waters of the Rhone, began to WI, but more slowly. WILLS AN!) BEQUES2S. (From t 1 Illustrated London Neu's) The will of Charles Prater, Esq., of 71, Portland place, was proved in the London Court on the sth instant by the executors, Charles Prater, Esq., and the Rev. Thomas Prater, the sons of the testator. The personalty was sworn under £200,000. There are also two trustees appointed namely, James Leach Ridgway, Esq., of Piccadilly, and George Taylor, Esq., of Scotland-yard, and to each of them he has left a legacy of £2OO, free of legacy duty. The will bears date the 14th August, 1856, and was attested by Stephen Gerrard, Esq., solicitor, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, and George Steb bing, his clerk. The testator died at his residence on the 3d ultimo. The will is of considerable length, being necessarily so from the minuteness of the directions given in it. Amongst the specific bequests are the following :—To his son, Charles Prater, Esq., he has devised the freehold at Char ing-cross ; to his son, the Rev. Thomas Prater, vicar of Leighton, Salop, he has left certain leasehold estates and the advowson of Leighton. To his un married daughters he leaves the household furni ture, jewellery, ornaments, carriages, &c. ; and to two granddaughters equally between them the sum of £lO,OOO. To his butler £2OO, and legacies vary ing in amount, according to length of service, to all his domestics, clear of legacy duty. The residue of the property, both real and personal, he has directed to be divided in five equal parts, leaving to his two sons and three daughters one-fifth each. The will of John William Sturges, Esq., of Don caster, York, was proved in London on the 18th ult. by his relict, Mrs. Harriet Sturges, sole execu trix, the personal property being sworn under £lB,OOO. The will bears date July 21, 1851, and the testator died on the 9th of August, 1861. Ed mund Baxter, Esq., of Doncaster, is appointed trus tee in conjunction with the relict. The testator has directed that his property may be insured in shares or otherwise in the Bowling Iron Company, in which concern he was connected, or in such other securities as they may think proper. To his relict he has left a life interest arising from his real and personal estate, with a power of disposition ; but should she not make any disposition the property is then to devolve to the testator's daughter. An immediate legacy of £5OO is bequeathed to his re lict, with the furniture, plate, carriages, and other effects. The will of Thomas Newnham, Esq., of Chapel street, Grosvenor-square, was proved on the Ist inst. by two of his executors—Arthur Morgan, Esq., of Stamford-hill, and William Farquharson, of the Oriental Club, Hanover-square—Thomas Law Blane, Esq., the testator's nephew, having renounced. The personal property was sworn under £30,000. After directing his real estates to be sold and invested with the personalty, and securing annuities amounting to £4OO, he bequeaths to his sister, the relict of the late Hon. William Cust, a life interest in the dividends accruing from the remainder of the property, the principal, upon this lady's decease, to be divided amongst her chil dren and the sons of the late Mrs. Blane, also a sister of the testator. THE REPRESENTATION OF FIN SBURY.—Yester day some of the leading electors of Finsbury waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of inviting him to stand as a candidate for the vacant seat in the representation caused by the death of Mr. Duncombe. The invitation took him by surprise, but he did not hesitate to give a decisive answer. From their knowledge of the con stituency, and having regard to the public esteem in which he is generally held, they were led, they said, to believe that his return would be extremely probable, and they urged him to afford the electoral body an opportunity of ex pressing their sentiments. The Lord Mayor said, flattered though ho was by the application, implying as it did a fresh proof of good-will towards him, he regretted to have to decline entertaining it. He added that he should not have thought of retiring from the representation of Ando ver, which he had shared for 14 years, to seek the suffrages of any other constituency, but for the pressing requisition of so large a proportion of the electors of the city of London to allowhimself to be put in nomination for the seat vaeated by Lord J. Russell. He expressed himself to that effect at the time in an address to the electors of Andover, in which he took leave of them, and to that resolution he should always adhere. The deputation are understood to have asked the Lord Mayor to give the matter some further con sideration, at least, before deciding, remarking that the case of a man asking to be returned to Parliament was different from that of his being solicited to stand. Mr. Cubitt said they must excuse him ; he felt himself bound, not only by the terms, but by the spirit of the communication he ad dressed to his former constituents. The deputation then left. REPRESENTATION OF EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.— Mr. Harry Foley Vernon, of Hanbury-hall, has been put forward by the Liberal party to succeed Mr. Hodgetts Foley in the representation of East Worcestershire. The hon. gentleman is at present en the Continent, on his mar riage tour. Unless Sir John Pakington himself could be induced to come forward, the Conservatives have no chance in the division. THE METROPOLIS AND TAXATION.—The net valuation of property in the metropolis to be assessed to the property-tax under schedules A and B (land and houses) amounted for the year 1859-60 to £21,205,753, the year's income or value. In a single parish, that of St. Pancras, the valuation exceeded £3,000,000, but then railways stood for above £2,000,000. The railways that paid income-tax in the metropolis paid it upon £5,458,082, rather more than half the taxable income of all the railways in England and Wales. The valuation for poor-rate in the metropolis in 1856 amounted to £11,167,673, and the amount collated in the year 1859-60, from the 2,800,000 inhabitants, was £1,349,598; not, however, all expended upon the poor, for the polico and county rate is included. In estimating the net annual ♦alue of property for poor-rate assessment, the metropolitan parishes differ so greatly that while in several the deduction allowed from the gross valuation is only 10 per cent., in others it is double that rate, in some it is 30 per cent. and upwards, and in one—St. Mildred, Bread ' street—it is returned as being " about 45 per cent." POPULATION OF THE GLOBE.—A professor of the Berlin University has been making curious researches respecting the population of the globe. The following is the result :—" Population of Europe, 372,J00,000 ; of Asia, 720,000,000 ; of America, 200,000,000; of Africa, 89,000,000; of Australia, 2,ooo,ooo—total population of the globe, 1,283,000,000. The average number of deaths per annum in certain places where records are kept is about 1 to every 40 inhabitants. At the present time the number of deaths in a year would be about 32,000,000, which is more than the entire present population of the United States. At this rate the average number of deaths per day is about 87,861, the average per hour 3,653, the average per minute 61. Thus, at least, every second a human life is ended. As the births considerably exceed the deaths, there are probably 70 or 80 human beings born per minute."—Glasgow Morn2ig Journal. _ . THE DEBT OF EQUADOE.—The annexed com munication respecting the debt of Equador has been re ceived from the Equatorian Commission of Agency : " The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remittance on account of the dividends on the debt of Equador of £3,000. Intelligence has been received by the same opportunity of the failure of Messrs. Gutierrez and Co,, who held the agency for receiving from the Custom-house and remitting to England the :funds for the dividend until the 28th of July last, when, in consequence of the delay in making re mittances by Messrs. Gutierrez and Co., the agency was transferred, by order of the Commission of Agency, to the hands of the British Consul at Guayaquil, Mr. I% Mocatta. The amount remaining in the hands of Messrs. Gutierrez and Co. not remitted is 42,521 dols., to which is to be added the draught on Messrs. F. Huth and Co., not accepted, for £3,G97, making in sterling about £10,075. A meeting of the creditors of the house had been held on the 11th Oct., at which it was proposed, in consequence of the high personal character of Mr. Gutierrez, that the estate should be liqui dated under his management, placing all funds collected in deposit until a dividend should bo made." PRACTICAL JOKING• --A few days ago a man employed in the gas factory of Woolwich Arsenal, having been saturated with rain while employed in out-door duty, entered the furnace-room, and having stripped off his wet clothes and wrapped himself in a thick covering of tow corn. , monced drying his garments before the furnace fire. One of his fellow .labourers, perceiving him thus attired, heed lessly cast a live cinder at him, which, adhering to the flimsy anti combustible matter, rapidly ignited the entire mass with which he was enveloped, blazing furiously nT or his whole person, and defying every exerf;oi , to quench it. Remedies were applied. ..d thu sufferer, although burnt in a severe manner, is now in a fair way of recovery. The aggressor, who acknowledged his culpability and expressed his sorrow for the consequence, voluntarily engaged as a part compensation to allow the patient 12s. per week from his own earnings (255.) until enabled to return to his work FRENCH EPICURES.—At Algiers a few days back a considerable number of high public functionaries, superior military officers. judges, and clergy partook, in the saloon of the theatre, of a grand banquet, the greater part of the dishes of which were composed of horse and ass flesh. The object in getting up the feast was to combat the popular prejudice against such food. The different dishes were dressed in the French style, and were declared excel lent. One of them consisted of a young ass roasted whole. After the dinner several toasts and speeches were delivered. One of the latter was by M. Decroix, veterinary surgeon of the Ist Mounted Chasseurs, who maintained that horse flesh is very nutritious, and that the general adoption of it as an article of food would present many advantages.-1 204 20 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stook PO It O,IGN Australian BonAccord Copper, L ni .l Brazil St.J.del itey,Lim Do.

We have been favoured with a copy of the Kew Orleans Price Current of the 12th of October, and as very little trustworthy information with regard to the state of affairs in the blockaded States has recently reached this country, we think that a few particulars of the condition of New Orleans, as shown in this publication, may not be without in terest for our readers. e T a t h ce e so, n great oa q ut u et e s s u t t i ta o tt n eers nsroeuwe seems at s t to i o s s tb u he e e w rh i s t — h people, Can regard t to iiheoes keep t s li t back for an indefinite period their cotton and other produce, which, to the value of about 45 millions sterling, they have been in the habit of exchang ing with the rest of the world for food, clothing, and a great variety of other necessaries and comforts which they did not produce at home ? In other words, can they dispense with all these neces saries and comforts for two years or more, and at the same time find the means of purchasing and pay ing for, in Europe or elsewhere, the vast amount of arms, ammunition, military stores and clothing which the carrying on a war on a most gigantic scale will necessarily require ? Can they do all these things and still keep at home the cotton and other produce which have hitherto supplied the means of paying for foreign imposts, and which they declare their intention to keep on the plantations until the blockade of their ports has beea raised ? It seems to us, on a general view of that question, to be all but impossible that they can succeed in any such attempt as that in which they are engaged ; and that in some way or other, they must abandon their present policy of locking up their produce, and must find some means of getting, at any rate, a considerable portion of it to market. We turn to the New Orleans Price Current for a few facts which appear to us to cast a little light upon this question. In the first place, it is very well known that the cotton-growing States have heretofore imported from the western free States a very large propor tion of the food, both animal and vegetable, which was consumed by their people. We therefore turn to a table, which appears in the Price Current, giving an account of the imports of various articles of food from the interior into New Orleans, from the Ist of September last to the date of the return, compared with the imports during the same period last year. The following appear to have been the quantities in the two years of the different articles enumerated : 1861, Bacon, hogsheads, casks, &c . 7 Hams, ditto Butter, kegs and firkins 324 Beef, hogsheads, &c. 9 Indian corn, sack and barrels 1860. 6,261 3,678 4,269 871 74,823 Flour, barrels Lard, hogsheads and barrels .. 163 Lard, kegs 1,232 Oats, barrels and sacks Pork, hhds, tierces, and barrels 69 Wheat, barrels and sacks .. 5,171 116,394 2,278 9,628 76,146 9,706 4,227 It must be remarked that a large proportion of the flour and Indian corn which reached New Or leans last year was, no doubt, intended for expor tation, so that the supplies during the present year may, for anything that appears to the contrary, be sufficient for home consumption ; but the other pro visions, especially the pork, were mostly consumed. by the negroes. The stocks of these important, and perhaps in dispensable portions of consumption, appear to be on quite as low a scale as might be expected from the limited imports, as the following extracts from. the Price Current will show : " Pork—There is very little left on sale, and mess con tinues to retail at 45 dole. per barrel. The stock on hand at Mobile has been sold to the Government at 40 dole. Tho stock at the Inspection Warehouses, on the Ist inst. was 1,773 barrels (all held for the army), against 8,890 last month, and 11,161 on the Ist of Ootober last year. "Beef—The supply is about exhausted, Quotations are nominal. " Lard—The supply in first and second hands is very light." We may add to the above, that the average price of flour appears to have been 9 dols. per barrel, and of Indian corn 85 to 90 cents. per bushel, with an advancing market. Some other articles of prime necessity also appear to command very high prices ; English bar iron was 75 dols. to 80 dols, or rather more than £l5 to £l6 per ton. Of English coal there was none in the market, and the price of an thracite was twenty dollars per ton. With these facts before him, well might the writer of a letter accompanying the Price Current, say that all the necessaries of life, with the excep tion of bread-stuffs, are at famine prices, and that the privations of the people are many. He, how ever, appears to cling to the delusive hope that the course adopted by the planters will compel the great Powers of Europe to break what he calls the " paper blockade of our ports." That at some future time that blockade, if persisted in, may call for the interference of European Powers we are not prepared to dispute; but, in the meantime, how will the people of New Orleans be clothed and fed ?
