xoNEY XAR,KET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK The reduction of the rate of discount by the Bank of England directors, caused a more buoyant tone in the principal branches of business in the manufacturing districts. The woolen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been more active, but little improvement can be noticed in the demand for cloths and yarns at Manchester. The hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Notting ham have remained inactive, although symptoms of recovery have been visible. In the hardware dis tricts a firmer tone, however, has prevailed, but no material alteration has taken place in prices. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, business was rather dull, but prices were firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. At the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Aus tralasia held today, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was unanimously agreed to. A small quantity of gold, viz., about £4,000, was purchased by the Bank of England on Saturday. The Sussex has been announced this morning from Australia, with £127,732 in specie, and the Euxine, from Alexandria, brings £2,500. The Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will convey £64,815 in specie, chiefly silver. The demand for money, although not active, is steadily maintained, and, as usual at this season of the year, the inquiry is stimulated by the increased circulation of coin in the agricultural districts on account of the harvest. In order to be provided for this expenditure the country bankers are compelled to augment their available balances, and a large aggregate' amount is thus temporarily withdrawn from the London market. The joint-stock and private establishments are still actively competing with the Bank of England, and the mercantile community are thus enabled to obtain accommodation on the best bills a fraction under the official minimum of 4 per cent. Meetings have been convened of the creditors of Messes. Bells, Brothers and Co., and of the inspec tors of the estate of Messrs. Miller and Co., for the 20th and 22d instant respectively. The directors of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China, have determined to de clare a dividend of 5 per cent. for the past half year. Continued buoyancy is experienced in the Eng lish Stock market, although no material alteration has taken place, Consols being 901 I for money, and 901 for account. There have been some rather large purchases for investment, but specu lation is exceedingly dull. The New Threes and the Reduced have improved to 901 I. Bank Stock is flat, at 233; India ditto at 218 and 220; ditto Five per Cent is firm, at 1011 and the New Loan Scrip at 1011. An instalment of 20 per cent. is due to-morrow on this security. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been on a rather restricted Ecale. Tarkish 6 per Cents. have improved to 781, 781 ; ditto, 1858, to 691 to 601 ; Spanish to 49k, and ditto Deferred to 42, but Equador New have declined upwards of 1 per cent., viz., to 12, and Mexican have receded to 22. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been moderately active, and for most of the principal British undertakings a slight advance has been exhibited. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, London, Chatham, and Dover, Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern have advanced 10s., and Bristol and Exeter and North Western £l. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have also shown au upward movement. Great Luxem bourg realise 8 ; San Paolo, 2i ; East Indian have advanced to 101*; and Great Indian Peninsula, to 971 98 ; Grand Trunk of Canada rose to 201 204-. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares ex hibited little variation of importance as regards prices. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities per Cent.

For the Ebor Handicap 11 to 1 was asked for against Lady Trespass, and 14 to 1 was taken about Bally Edmond. Virgilius and Stockade remain nearly as they were, although no investments were made on either of them. For the St. Leger the offers were not so free against Big Ben, but Janus was decidedly out of favour. The favourite, Kettledrum, was backed at 2 to 1, and 9 to 4 would have been taken to a good amount.

Lord Granville will leave London on Tuesday, in order to attend the Queen during her stay at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phcenix-park, and during her Majesty's excursion to the Lakes of Killarney. The Duke of Somerset is in town. The other members of the C Ibinet have quitted the metropolis. His Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto has returned to Claridge's Hotel from a visit to her Majesty at Osborne. His Royal Highness was visited by the Arch duke Maximilian of Austria on Friday. Sir John Bowring, we ( Western Times) are glad to report, is somewhat better, but his medical adviser con siders that he is not yet strong enough to go to the sea side. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WIFE.--On Friday at St. Helen's Police-court, Lancashire, a man named Thomas Dixon, of Ashcroft-street, in Parr, was charged with having attempted to murder his wife by striking her on the head with a hammer. The prisoner was committed for trial. ASSAULT BY A CLERYGMAN.—A special meeting of justices was held at Sidmouth a few days since, at which th e Rev. J. Huyshe was chairman, and J. W. Sillifant, Esq. (Ottery), and Gustavus Smith, Esq., were present, to hear a charge against the Rev. James John Merest for assaulting Mr. A. Cawsey, on the previous Friday evening. It appeared from the evidence that the complainant was walking with his wife in the Market -place, when suddenly both himself and wife received a blow across the shoulders from a stick. On turning round complainant was accused Of having insulted the defendant, who said, " You black guard, you insulted me. I've struck you once, and I'll strike you twice or thrice, and split your skull." The stick was lifted up again, when Mr. Cawsey, in self. defence, struck the rev, defendant in the forehead, the scar of which was exhibited before the court. This statement Was corroborated by Mrs. Cawsey and Mr. Samuel Newton, who witnessed the whole transaction. The defendant's re ply was, that he was standing at the Post-office door, when Cawsey in passing pushed against him, and called him nuisance." This was contradicted by Mr. whe stated that Cawsey in passing was eight yards from the defendant. After hearing the evidence the bench were unanimous in their opinion that the assault was clearly 13rov ed• The R ev. M r.

In the leading Country markets hold on Saturday new wheats sold steadily, at pries varying from 54s to 68s per quarter. Old qualities, hovever, were much neglected, and 2s to 3s por quarter draper. The demand for spring corn and flour was by no means active, at barely late rates. On the Continent the amount of business doing for ship ment to Great Britain has been very small. In the United States the value of produce ias, in some instances, further improved. ,194 1011 911 2U 20 i 84 En 94 05 87 89 The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were seasonably extensive. From abroad we received 33,715 quarters of wheat, 2,282 barley, 49,329 oats, 2,300 rye, 1,348 beans, 2,166 peas, 1,500 linseed, 258 rapeseed, 200 maize, 80 sundry seeds, 21 sacks, and 33,220 barrels of flour. 5 7 4 6 RA IL 0711 8 114 5 1 I Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of new English wheat were small from Essex, but moderately good from Kent. The quality of the samples was fine, yet the demand for both red and white descriptions ruled heavy, on easier terms. Red parcels were quoted at 54s to 58s; and white, 58s to 62s per quarter. The latter may be considered an extreme quotation. Old wheats were quite unsaleabe, and nominally 3s to 4s per quarter lower than since the first receipts of new produce. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably large. There was less inquiry on French account, and the trade, gene rally ruled heavy, at, in some instances, less money. In floating cargoes of grain a fair, but by no means ex tensive, business was transacted, at previous currencies. The demand for barl e y was in a - sluggish state, at barely late rates. We observed but few samples of new on offer. Malting qualities were quoted at 34s to 38s per quarter. Malt changed bands to a limited extent, on former terms. Fine samples of oats were in steady request at full prices, but inferior qualities, owing to the large arrival from Arch angel, were 6d per quartern cheaper than on Monday last. Beans were scarce, and realised previous rates. Peas were a dull inquiry. New white were selling at 40s, and new grey ditto, 34s to 36s per qr. All kinds of flour met a heavy sale.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were only moderate, and the general quality of the supply exhibited a decided falling off, when compared with Mon day last. Good and prime breeds moved off steadily, at, in some instances, an advance of 2d per 81bs; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at late currencies. The primest Scots, crosses, &c., realised 4s. 10d. per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,800 shorthorns, crosse, &c. ; from other parts of England, 750 of various breeds, from Scot land, 78 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 280 oxen. The show of English sheep was by no means extensive. Prime Downs and half breds were in steady request, at full quotations, but inferior breeds changed hands slowly, at late rates. The top value of sheep was ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. per 81bs. Very few lambs were on offer, and the demand for them ruled somewhat active, at from 5s to 6s, being an advance of 4d per Bibs, compared with this day se'nnight. Calves—The show of which was moderate—sold heavily, at former prices. The extreme quotation was 4s 6d per 81bs. For pigs, we have to report a slow trade, on former terms.

The August sessions commenced this morning, before the Common Sergeant, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Law rence, Gabriel, and Hall. The Common Sergeant, in charging the grand jury, in the absence of the Recorder, said the calendar, owing to the time that had elapsed since the last sessions, contained the names of a large number of prisoners for trial. Amongst those three cases involved the sacrifice of human life—two for manslaughter, and one for murder. With respect to the case of murder, the prisoner was a soldier in barracks, and during a fit of drunkenness he used threatening language to one of the sergeants, and after the lapse of a short time he became possessed of a crowbar and struck the sergeant so severely with it that death ensued. As to the fact there could be no doubt, and it would be for the petty jury in this court to see whether any of the circumstances reduced the offence to one of manslaughter. One of the ,cases of manslaughter was that of a lady of 40 years of age who kept a lodging-house in which the prisoner lived. One evening on the return from the opera with a friend a quar rel ensued between the prisoner and the deceased, and in the course of it he threw a knife at her which struck her in the abdomen and killed her. It was said that the prisoner was gesticulating violently, and the knife left his hand by accident. If that was the case, then the offence was simply one of homicide by misadventure, and no crime. The next case was that of the Baron de Vidil, who was charged with making a murderous assault upon his son. The son had refused to give evidence against his father, but nevertheless there were other witnesses who saw the assault. From the depositions it appeared that the Baron invited his son to go on a visit to the ex-Queen of the French at Twickenham, and it was quite clear that the father took a wrong read, by going up and down various lanes, not leading to the house of the royal lady. In one of these lanes the assault was committed on the son by the father, and as he had said before, the witnesses would be able to explain. The prisoner said his son was thrown from his horse and thereby received the injuries, but the evidence of the medical man distinctly stated that the injuries were of such a nature as would not arise from such a cause. The prisoner had given altogether another version of the tran saction, but it would be for the grand jury to weigh the whole of the evidence and to act accordingly. There were no other cases of a particular nature, or that required any particular observations from him, excepting the great increase that had taken place in stealing letters, the property of the Postmaster-General. There were no less than eight cases of this description. He did not men tion these cases because they presented any difficulty, but simply for the reason of publicly expressing a hope that the public would not needlessly offer tempta tion to the letter carriers by transmitting valuables through the post. The so doing was perfectly lawful, but then 'as it was so dangerous it was a practice that ought to be discouraged. He was glad to observe that the tariff of salaries had been revised and increased, for it had not unfrequently been said that the smallness of the pay of the letter carriers tempted them to act dishonestly. The grand jury then proceeded to their room. With respect to the case of the Baron de Vidil, who is indicted for feloniously wounding his son with intent to murder him, it is usual to introduce other counts in indictments of that nature such as charging with an in tent to maim and disable, or do some grievous bodily harm, and also a count for a common assault, and upon the trial of such an indictiucut the jury are empowered to re turn a verdict, if they think proper to do so, of unlawfully wounding, which is only a misdemeanour, and the court has the entire discretion of awarding the punishment for such an offence. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine has been specially retained to conduct the defence with Mr. Sleigh, and these learned gentlemen have Leen in constant consultation with Mr. Wontner, the solicitor for the Baron, during the last week, in reference to the line of defence that is to be adopted. It does not appear to be known whether any counsel are re tained to carry on the prosecution, and, as it was intimated at the police-courtupon thelast examination offhe prisoner that the family did not intend to interfere any further in the matter it is probable that no special instructions will be given to any learned counsel to conduct the prosecution, and that it will be carried on in the usual course by the Solicitor for the Treasury, under the instructions of the Commis sioners of Police, the nominal prosecutor bound over to prosecute being an inspector of that body. It is understood that the son, who is bound over to appear and give evidence in support of the prosecution, still adheres to his determination expressed at the police-court, not to give any evidence against his father, and should he do so, it is very difficult to say what course the case may take. In the first place, in accordance with the recognizance he has en tered into, it would be the duty of the prosecutor to go before the grand jury and give his evidence, but his attendance might possibly be dispensed with by that body, who probably would think themselves justified in finding a bill upon the other testimony in the cause, but when the case comes before the petty jury the counsel for the Baron would doubtless insist upon their right to cross examine the prosecutor, in order to ascertain what amount of provocation was given for the alleged assault, and which possibly might be of such a character as to reduce the offence to one of the most trivial character. The witness Rivers, the young man who was represented to have seen the assault committed, and whose evidence, it will be re membered, was taken from a sick bed from which he was not expected to recover, is still, it appears, in a very dan gerous state, and there is no likelihood of his being able to attend at the Court to be examined, and this is likely to cause another difficulty in the investigation of this extraor• dinary case. The inquiry before the grand jury will in all probability not take place before Tuesday, and if they should return a true bill an application will then be made to the Court to fix a day for the trial. PROLONGING A NUISANCE. George Whitworth, of Bermondsey, surrendered to an indictment charging him with causing a nuisance by car rying on the business of a manufacturer of fish manure. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended. Mr. Sleigh said it had been arranged in this case that the defendant should plead guilty, and that he should abate the nuisance, the only object of the prosecution being to effect that end. The defendant was then bound over in his own recog nisances of £lOO to appear and receive sentence when called upon. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) FELONY. • indictments charging Mudd, 19, pleaded guilty to two charging him with stealing six reams of paper, the pro perty of Richard Starkey. ➢ir. Cooper, for the prisoner, said his client was very re spectably connected, and nothing could haA e come with greater surprise upon them than the apprehension of the prisoner for felony. It was his first offence ; and he trusted, as the prisoner had told where a portion of the property was to be found, the Court would take that circumstance into consideration. The Commissioner said he was not quite sure that deal ing leniently with the prisoner would not have a very bad effect. A few years ago, had the prisoner been found guilty of such an offence, his life would have paid the forfeit on the gallows. Under all the circumstances he should com mit him to prison with hard labour for 12 months. William Homer, labourer, was indicted for stealing a quantity of brass fittings, weighing 33 lbs., the property of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. . _ From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was seen to leave the company's premises with a bundle in his pos session by a lad, an apprentice in the fitting-shop at Strat ford. Thinking the parcel contained stolen property, ho gave information to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. On examining the bundle a large quantity of brass engine fittings, the property of the company, was dis covered. The foreman of the fittiag-shop at Stratford said the property stolen belonged to the company. An immense quantity of metal had of late been stolen, and some men had been discharged on suspicion of being concerned in robbing the company. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.

CURIOUS CASE.—Sidney Garrett, the keeper of a general shop, 56, Great Wild-street, and Sidney John Garrett, a boy, father and son, were charged with being in posses sion of some brandy, supposed to be stolen from Messrs. Fortnum and Mason, Italian warchousekeepers, in Pic cadilly. Butcher, 137 C, proved on Saturday morning seeing the boy conic up Duke•strect with an empty bag, and the elder prisoner come up and take away the bag and presently re turn it to the boy. Seeing something bulky in it he went after the boy and asked what he had got, an 3 he said some brandy which his father gave him. He then took the boy into custody, and afterwards went to prisoners' house in GrEat Wild-street, and left a constable there, who took the father into custody. The elder prisoner said he bought the brandy at Messrs. Fortnum and Masson's, at twelve o'clock, sending his nephew in for it, but this was denied, it being stated that none had been sold till after one. Richard Garrett, the nephew, said he bought the brandy at twelve. The elder prisoner complained of not being brought up till that morning, when his son was taken on Saturday morning. He considered it very cruel. Some questions were put to the assistants from Messrs. Fortnum and Mason's by the magistrate with the view of ascertaining whether there was any access from the street to the cellars, but it was said there was not. Mr. Mansfield said the cellarman and the person at the counter seemed pretty positive as to the time the brandy was sold. What they said was manifestly the truth. It was clear the brandy they sold was not that found in the boy's bag. He would discharge the boy, and remand the other prisoner for a week, but would take bail —one in £2O or two in £lO. THE SUNDAY GAMBLING NUISANCE.—John Durkin, Patrick Geary, and Richard Nisbet, three lads, were charged with gambling in Ingestre-buildings, Soho, and Durkin with also assaulting two constables—Harris, 184 C, and Bagshaw, 237 S. John Harris, 184 C, said —Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two, I saw a gang of lads gambling, and on seeing me they all ma d e off. While pursuing them Durkin tried to overthrow me b y kicking my shins. I secured the other two, and a const a bl e of the S division, who happened to be coming up Wardour-stre e t in plain clothes, secured Durkin. On the way to the station Durkin again kicked me. There were about a dozen lads, who went out cleaning boots of a Sunday morning, and with the money they earned in the morning they gambled away in the afternoon. There were frequent and very loud complaints from the inhabitants of the nuisance. 3 ohn Bagshaw, 237 S, proved being assaulted by Durkin, his knees being then discolsured. Durkin was fined 40s. or a month, and the others 58. each or seven days. _ _ _ Percy Larkin, Harold Larkin, John Shortis, and Finlay Robinson were also fined 2s. 6d. each. THAMES. A DANGEROUS THlEF.—Maria Fowler, aged 20, the daughter of a superannuated Custom-house officer, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing a scarf pin, value 225,, from the person of Samuel Ball, engineer, of No. 5, Globe-road, Mile-end. The prosecutor met the prisoner and another woman in a dancing-room, and took a walk along the Mile-end-•road with them. In the course of their moonlight rambles the prisoner managed to possess, herself of the engineer's scarf pin, for which a few days before he had paid 225. When he charged her with the robbery she boldly denied it, and threw the pin away. It was found a few hours afterwards in the Coborn. road, Bow-road, by a police constable named Dugand, 71 K, who now produced it. The prosecutor was followed by the'prisoner's companion to his home, after he had the charge against the prisoner, He was abused and threatened, and it was hinted that he would know of it it he pressed the charge at the police court. Christopher Lloyd, a police sergeant, said the prisoner was convicted six or seven years ago for a burglary and robbery in her father's house, and that she had been it. custody eight or nine times for as many robberies. Mr. Woolrych—Then she was only 13 or 14 years eine when she was first convicted. Lloyd--That is all, sir. Inspector Griffin of the K division said the prisoner had been very successful in robbing men who did not dare to prosecute. She once promised Mr. Selfe that she would go to a reformatory, and pretended to be overwhelmed with grief. She was the most dangerous thief in the Mile .end road. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been convicted under the Criminal Justice Act, but he was not aware she had ever been convicted at the sessions. The prisoner—lt is 18 months since I was hero. Inspector Griffin—Oh no, oh no, not six months. She has robbed many gentlemen in the road of their watches and money. She has been a thief for seven years. The prisoner implored of the magistrate to let her go, and assured him she would reform and lead a new life. Inspector Griffin--She has said the same thing to Mr. Yardley and Mr. Selfe half a dozen times. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Woolrych—lf you are committed for trial and found guilty, you will be sentenced for a long term of penal ser vitude. I will give you ono more chance. You are sen tenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY MURDEIZ BY A BOY. Much excitement was created at Birkenhead on Friday night by the committal of another extra ordinary outrage by a boy; and as the crime has followed so closely upon the trial of two young urchins for the murder of their playmate at Stock port, the present case has caused more than usual painful sensation. Between seven and eight o'clock, two boys were at play on the sands in front of the house of Mr. Holland, a magistrate for the county of Chester, residing near the Magazines between New Brighton and Egremont, on this side of the Mersey, when a quarrel arose, and one them pulled out a knife and thrust it into the neck of his playmate (a son of Mr. Holland's coachman.) It penetrated the jugular vein, and it is said death was almost instantaneous. The blood flowed in torrents, and the deceased never spoke after being stabbed. The boy assassin is only about nine years old, and his victim is somewhat younger. The perpetrator of the terrible outrage has been taken into custody. This is the third case of a similar character which has occurred within a few weeks. THIS DAY'S ShIPPING.

Manchester presented a very animated appear ance during the polling on Saturday, some of the busiest thoroughfares of the city being obstructed by crowds of people awaiting the hourly publica tion of returns. Great good humour and good order prevailed throughout, and from tho time when Mr. Turner's majority became decided the an nouncement of numbers was received with enthu siastic cheering by the gentleman's partisans. Many of the voters (Mr. Cobden and Lord Inge,3tre among the number) came from great distances. The Liberals seem to attribute their loss of the elec tion to the non-fulfilment of pledges in the West Derby Hundred. In the Salford Hundred, where the Liberal candidate had a steadily increasing m a j or ity, within 10 per cent. of the pledges given were pulled for Mr. Cheetham. CLOSE OF THE POLL. Turner .. 9,680 Cheetham . 8,843 Majority for Turner According to Mr. Cheethani's committee, the numbers at the close were as follows ; Salford Wet,t Hundred. Hundred. 5,866 . . 2,999 5,439 . . 4,261. Cheetham Turner Total. . 8,865 . 9,700 At 6 o'clock Mr. Turn€r and his friends appeared on the balcony of the Queen's Hotel, and were lustily cheered by an immense crowd assembled in the streets below. Mr. TURNER said that although the official de claration of the poll would not be made till Monday he hoped he was not assuming too much when he now addressed them as the third representative of South Lancashire. (Cheers.) He looked upon this election as a triumph of principles ; the electors having manifested their attachment to our present constitution with a preference of progressive amend ments in it, and their rejection of the extreme doc trines of the League, including separation of Church and State,vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, and American democracy. He had never been and would not be found an enemy to progress, but the progress he advocated was to improve and confirm, not to destroy our institutions, which gave us more liberty and happiness than any other nation enjoyed. (Cheers.) He should be found the representative of every man and every interest in South. Lancashire, without distinction between op ponents and supporters during the pro gress of this election. (Cheers.) He was proud of the position in which the electors had placed him, and, above all, he congratulated them on having resisted the sophiStry of his opponents. whose sug gestion, that this constituency, having already two members to carry out good principles, should now send a third to carry out bad ones. (Loud cheering.) About the same time Mr. Cheetham was ad dressing his friends in the large room of the Free trade Hall, voting had taken place during the day, and from five o'clock till the time when Mr. Cheetham made his appearance in the hall it was a scene of riotous confusion, about 1,500 people being inside the place, some of whom were very excited, rushing about, jostling and scuffling, cheer ing and hooting, while several mock orators de livered themselves of unintelligible and inaudible discourses from the platform. Mr. CHEETHAM and his supporters Were received with great cheering, but he had some difficulty in gaining a hearing. He said that the scene before him, and the warm sympathy with which he was met, reminded him that a man might be defeated and not disgraced. (Cheers.) In looking back upon this contest he had nothing to retract or apologise for. The principles which he had advocated re mained as sound and untarnished as when he first communicated them. (Cheers.) When a man en- tered into war, whether political or military, he must be prepared for its chances. Those chances had been against himself. He came forward on no per sonal grounds. He came as identified with and re presenting the opinions of a great united Liberal party in South Lancashire. He had upon his com mittee, and he had received the votes of men of every shade of Liberal opinions-(cheers) —but to obtain that support he had on no occasion withheld his opinions or attempted to modify or deny them. (Cheers.) Those opinions were not mere theories. During 30 years they had been advancing con stantly into results, and to them was due the pre sent prosperous state of the country. (Cheers.) Those principles had, as connected with him on this occasion, suffered neither stain nor reproach. And there was no one who had more deeply studied those principles, who more firmly believed in their justice and right, or who would through life more steadily adhere to and maintain them. (Cheers.) Let not the present momentary defeat daunt the energies or suspend the efforts of his friends ; let them rather contemplate those principles with the conviction that the time would come when the flag of victory would accompany them to the hustings. (Cheers.) In this great centre of commerce, intelligence, and enlightenment—in the Salford hundred—he had a large majority. (Cheers.) His opponent owed success to the votes of those in more distant parts of the division, who had no opinion of their own, and grip their votes as they were bid. (Cheers.) He (MY. Cheetham) warmly thanked his excellent chairman—(eheers)—the committee, and all those who had worked for the Liberal cause. After a short speech from Mr. Mark Phillips, who said Mr. Cheetham's return was certain, had. there been no intimidation, Mr. G. VVILsoN came forward, in obedience to loud calls for him to speak. He said, although he had not had the opportunity of assisting the com mittee as he should have wished, there was no man among them who felt more acutely than he did the loss which the Liberal party had sus tained in the contest. (Hear, hear.) They had on their side the numerical majorities of the ma nufacturing districts, but they had to contend, as they always would have until the suffrage was altered, in a contracted sphere. (A voice— " You'll always be beaten.") He would remind that gentleman that this building was erected as a monument of defeats, sustained year after year until final success was the result—(cheers) — and unflinchingly b w y as de th fe e a r t e f a r n em E p n u g r l s is a h ib m g an hi w s h c o m w ir o be deterred coarse unflinchingly to the end ? (Cheers.) The meeting bam. m C e b et e i e n t gbroke up with three more cheers for Mr. ASCENT OF MONT BLANC. whose photographic The following accounatecioufirtehde f a o s r ce h n i t m of a w was a t Chamounix, an Blanc by a photographer will be read with • Mott'.' interest —,, On the 22d ult., M.

At six in th morning they reached the Grand Plateau, but did not stop there in order to sooner reach the Petits- Mulcts. Scarcely, however, had they done so than they were assailed by a complete tempest, which whirled such clouds of snow around them that the whole party could not see a foot before them. M. Bisson asked the guide whether the tent could not be pitched, to which the reply was, Do you wish to see Chamounix again? We have e 8 only just time to regain the Grands Mul t for the avalanches are about to fall , and We ' shall not be long in safety here.' They then began to descend with all possible despatch, and suc ceeded in reaching the Grand /quiets f they bad started in the morning.

Water was wanted for the washing of the plates, and none could be procured by meltmeltinn snow with the lamps, for the latter would b lig A burn in such a rarefied air. At length, howuver, a little of the precious liquid was obtained, thre e views were taken, the apparatus repacked, and the _ l party safely returned to Chamounix , having f or the first time taken a photograph of the panorama of the Alps from the summit of the Mona rch of Mountains."
