.~..~- MONEY REARKET AND CODIMERCI.AT CITY, Two o'CLOCirr. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a quiet though firm feeling, and prices of all kinds were well supported at the full rates or Friday. The sales were estimated at 7,000 hales, 500 for export and 500 on speculation, comprising 400 Egyptian, 61d. to Bd., and 1,500 Surat, 4.1 d. to 5d per lb. The Railway Share Market was very firm, although transactions were rather limited. The Paris commercial report for last week states that a slight improvement had occurred in trade generally, with decided indications of a return to active business amongst the manufacturers. Som e Parisian export houses have received new commis sions from England and the IThited States, and those in connection with Spain have had notice to complete the orders which had been suspended du'r ing the recent political disturbances in that coun try. Some agents from the Departments have been purchasing largely for home consumption. The retail trade continues dull in the absence of the wealthy inhabitants at this season. The dealers in novelties are beginning already to lay in stocks for the Winter season. In the article of silk there is some activity, and advices from Lyons and St. Stephen's state that the raw material is still dear. I The I►igh price of fabrics, on account of the dearness of the raw material, is not confined to silk, for the manufacturers of cotton, woollen, and other fabrics make the same complaint, and look forward with confidence to some modification in the tariff, which will admit these articles from foreign countries at a lower rate, so that they may be enabled to their workmen sufficiently, for at present sonie factokics were forced to reduce their - .vages tliat they may obtain even a small profit. The commercial advices from the Brazl4 mention that trade in Buenos Ayres was in a heavy condi tion at the latest date, principally owing to the limited stocks of produce. The suppy cf - manu factured goods was not greater than the demand, and prices consequently were maintained. At The the import markets were rather active, and in Bahia a moderate bminess had recently been trans acted in most articles. The Directors of the Great Western Railway Company have announced a dividend at the rate of per cent. for the half-year, after the pay men'. of which there will remain a balance of 5,778 1 , 13s. 4d. The arrival of the steamer Niagara off Liverpool is telegraphed. She brings $371,332 in specie. There is a firmer market for English Se- curities to-day, and compared with the latest official prices of last week an improvement of fully per cent. has occurred This has not been produced by any increase in the specula tion, but a few real purchases being made, together with the continued favourable weather for harvest operations, have imparted a degree of buoyancy to the market. Cinscls for money have been 95 to 053 and 951 while the account prices have risen to 9 7 ;1 a. The New Three per Cents. are 96 to 931, and the Reducesi, 95 , a Exchequer Bi:ls are 8s to 12s premium, being firmer, and the Bonds are 1001 India Stock is 233. In the Foreign Market the transactions have been very limited, but there is an improving ten dency in the quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 104. Peruvian Dollar Bonds, and Sardinian, 92±.

Eu the Foreign market, Sambre and Meuse have ad vanced. - It ;as continue heavy, pending the investigation into the affairs of the company by the Stock Exchange Committee, and there have been several transactions in French Shares, which have recently been neglected. The Indian and Canadian are without material change. Joint-Stock Banking, as well as Mining Shares, aro very inactive. Miscellaneous Shares are sup ported.

Another man who was standing near him was also struck by the lightning, and died soon after- afterwards. A third man was knocked down, and the soles of his shoes were separated from the upper leathers, but he sustained no personal injury. A BRAVE YOUTH.—The Lincolnshire Chronicle says : —" On the afternoon of Tuesday, an infant accidentally fell into the Witham through the railings of Waterside South. Several persons witnessed the calamity, but a lad of about 14, named John Bolder, livinu in Granthatn street, was the first to take prompt measures fur rescuing the little unfortunate. Divesting himself in a moment of some of his clothes, he leap - ed into the river, and seizing the drowning child, manfully held it above the water, going down himself several times in his successful efforts to save it. At one time it was feared that both would be drowned, but happily Bolder was a strong swimmer. -This laudable and courageous act in a lad deserves the highest praise, and one of the Royal Humane Society's medals might here he properly disposed of." THE BELL FOR THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINSTER., —The casting of the great bell for the Clock Tower of the New Palace at Westminst-r was accomplished on the 26th ult., at Norton, near Strlckton-on-Tee s' by Messrs. Warner and Sine,, of th 3 Crescent Foundry, Jewin-street. The mould had been in course of prepa ration for six weeks, and two reverberatory furnaces, capable of melting ten tons of met:ll each, had been built expressly for the purpose of casting this monster bell. The whole of the previous night the workmen were busily employed, and early in the morning, the furnaces having attained the requisite heat, the doors were opened, and the operation of charging or putting in the metal commenced. The latter operation occupied about an hour, and in less than two hours and a half the whole of the metal required, 18 tons, was in a state of perfect . fusion. At a given signal the f6rnaces mere tapped, amd the metal flowed from them into a pool prepared to hold it, before being admitted into the bell mould; the shutter or gate was then lifted, and the metal allowed to flow. In five minutes the casting of ; the bell had beezieffeeted. All 10 all B!dAith hiARKETS. 'THIS DAY.) F raid Closing Prices Saturday tt'oen'." , -,..a • • .".,. .•• Ambg. Yottug. Boy' EV,r7aug.

CORN EXCHLNGE. MAI (SION-HOUSE. The holders of wheat in the lountry markets held on Ba‘mrclay were somewhat firmer fr wheat than in the early part of the week. Barley was study, at full prices; but all other kinds of produce met a dry dull inquiry. Gon;lou & N. 7cl.t. L. S/ I,I N. W. lalodon... E. Un. & c..lirtt , n. E. Count. Caldoni4n. CHAP.GE OF STABB: [2:G.—Michael George Ryan was charged with attenlpt ing to stab, with a dagger, Mr. Mackay, proprietor of Nulling's Hotel, in Ironmonger lane. Most of the Continental markos have become inactive for all articles of produce, and tie quotations have ruled in favour of buyers. Steady shipatnts of produce continuo to be made from America. It appeared from the i evidence that the prisoner, who is an Irishman, and abc ut to emigrate to Buenos Ayres by t , ;e John Scott, wen t, in company with a friend who going to emigrate witi t hire, to the prosecutors' hotel, on their arrival in Engel: tnd, and took up their abode there. On Saturday ni3l it, or rather towards Sunday morning, the prosecute'r stated that he met the pri soner on the stairs and ;made a remark to him which drew a rejoinder from him, and ultimately the prisoner drew a daggrr, made a thrust at the prosecutor, who forte: nately parried the blow, and escaped without i !jury. The defence was that the proprietor, who "A as unknown as such at the time to the prisoner, w ae on the stairs in anything but a sober state, and threat taed to throw the latter over the stairs, on which a took place, and recourse was had to the dagger. It was a formidable article, of finished make, with a white handle, and had been pur chased in Dublin by the prisoner, considering it would be useful in South Ameri cal. The evidence was exceed ingly csnflicting, and occupied a considerable time in investigation. Very limited supplies of home-,yown produce were re ceive up to our market last week The imports of foreign were 27,155 quarters of wheat, 6185 barley, 23,528 oats, 350 bi3am, 10 peas, 1,570 liuseecl,2ss rapeseed, 2,445 In dLsn ruin, and 11,839 barrels of flair. Do Wostr irk. Now. & Borw. F. &N:& Do The quantity of English wheat •eceived fast up to-day from all quarters, coastwise and b• land carriage, was very limit•ad ; and the show of samplesof both red and white was small. The attendance of milers was by no means extensive, yet factors commenced by asking higher prices for both reel and white. On the Thole, in consequence of the very small quantity brought forward, the demand ruled steady, at last Monday's decline in the quotations; but a few very fine samples realisLl an advance of from is. to 2s. per qr. We wore rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. The amount of business doing in all kinds was limited; neverthtless we have no change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were dull. Several parcels of new barley clanged hands, at 47s to 50s per quarter. Old parcels wen dull, and prices were barely supported. Milt was dull, and inferior qualhies were the turn lower. Good sound oats sold to a moderate extent on former terms; but low middling parcels were dull, and lower to purchase. The sales for beans ruled very inactive at drooping prices. Now white and grey peas were oa sale in good condi tion. Old pease_were dull, and is to 2e per quarter lower. The amount of business doing in flour was very mode rate, yet prices were supported.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in to-day's market, and its general quality was inferior. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up to-day were moderato, and of but middling qua lity. There was a slight improvement in the demand for nearly all breeds, and in some instances prices were 2d per Ellis higher than on Monday last. The beat Scots were worth 4s 10,1 per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 1 ,80 0 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 14 Scots; and from Ireland, 200 oxen. There was a fair average show of sheep in the market, but their quality was only middling. Most kinds sold slowly, at last Monday's currency, the top figure for Downs being 5s 2d per Sibs. The supply of lambs was moderately good, and the lamb trade ruled firm, at Friday's advance in the quotations. The best lambs realised 6s per 81bs.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Very favourable accounts continue to reach us respect ing the general appearance of the potato crop. Our mar kets are very extensively supplied, and, although the de mand is steady, prices rule very low, viz., from 2/. 15s to 4'. 5s per ton. The imports from the continent have wholly ceased for the present. ----~-~ WOOL. The biddings for good and fine wools at the public sales held since our last report have been rather active, at fully the opening quotations; but inferior parcels have ruled heavy. The following prices have been paid :—Australian —Clean sheep's is 7d to 2s lid; scoured 2s 2d to 2s 61d ; lambs', is 1 lto is 7id.

SEEDS. Linseed is without alteration. Linseed cakes are rather scarce, and prices are rather firmer than last week. Rape cakes are also in good demand. The stocks of rape and oilseeds aro very small, and a few sales of Calcutta rape have been made at 65s on the spot, and 63s for arrival.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— EI nay Davis, a decent-looking female, about 50 years of a ge, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with- attempting to commit suicide by taking a large quantity of I: tudanum. Thomas Curtis, poliCe-co nstable, 78 L, said that on Wednesday night he saw 4113 prisoner lying on the pave ment in Stamford-street, insensible. Thinking that she Two "ceder the influence of liquor he attempted to rouse her up, but he found it was utterly u,cle.s, and she seemed as if she was dean. He immediately obtained the assistance of other constables and carried her to a neighbouring surgeon's, whim it was suspected that she had taken poison. The stomach-pump was instantly used, when a large quantity of laudanum was ejected from the stomach, and in a short time she sufficiently re covered to be conveyed to the workhouse, where she had remained until the present time, when he took her into custody for attempting to commit suicide. The officer added that she was still in an extremely weak state from the effects of the poison. Mr. Combs asked the prigoner why she attempted such a rash act ?—She replied in a very weak voice that she did not know. She was very ill and unable to speak. , Mr. Combo inquired of the constable whether he knew anything of her ?—He replied that he believed her to be the wife of a respectable man, and that drunkenness had caused her to take the laudanum , . At present he had not been able to find out anything more about her. Mr. Combs directed him to make further inquiries, and for that purpose he should remand her for a week, when she would receive every attention from the medi cal officer and the authorities of the gaol. She was im mediately removed by the gaoler and taken to Horse monger•lane gaol. BATHING IN THE THAMES. Two young fellows were charged by Inspector White, Thames Police, with bathing in the Tham.s near Lon don-bridge, at noon yesterday, near the steam-boats, and in the presence of large numbers of persons. Mr. Combe cautioned them, and ordered them to find SPORTING NOTES. PROMISES AND PERFORMANCES. All pennons connected with the executive department of the Brighton Meeting had cause for gratulation and triumph. Their efforts were attended with complete success. True, the supply of sport was not overabun dant, but the racing was interesting, and in some re spects important. Two much-talked-about incidents marked the sport—the withdrawal of Lady Florence from a rao3 on Thursday, after her number bad been placed on the telegraph, and the running of Theodora for the Cho mpagne. In the first instance a " promise " was given. which was not fulfilled ; and in the second there was a " performance" anything but satisfactory. The practi.s . ce of scratching horses after their numbers have been displayed on the telegraph cannot be justified on any pre tence whatever. Not even the ducal maxim of a man's having a right to do what he likes with his own—a mrixim which is unscrupulously adhered to on the turf—cannot be adduced in support of such a pro ceeding. Book-makers are the chief sufferers by the practice, a - nd I am surprised that one of the "brother hood" should be found to adopt an expedient so perni cious and discreditable. It has been suggested that for the future a law should be framed by which all bets on a race shall be declared void after the withdrawal of a number. This rule would effectually check a system which seenns likely to become one of the foulest abuses of the turf. In some instances, however, a number may be witharawn from the telegraph, and a horse not start through an accident, as on Friday, when Fordham weighed for Termagant, who did not reach the course in time togo to the post. The public, however, know how to discriminate between a fortuitous circumstance like that which caused the withdrawal of Termagant's number .and the caprice which caused Lady Florence not to ru p. Young Quinton's well-known honesty ought to have been sufficient to shield him from the aspersions which men in their haste and chagrin heaped upon his character after the race for the Champagne Stakes. Business has brought me into frequent communication with the lad, whom I have ever found well-conducted and straight forward. lie is studiously solicitous to carry out the in structiona of his employers and to consult their interest. Mr. Hargraves did justice to Quinton and credit to himself by publishing a statement of the bets which he had on the race. Now, too, for a little common sense. Manganese meets Mincepie for the One Thou• sand and beats her with evident ease. She subsequently runs at A'seot and Goodwood, and people discover that she can't stay. At Brighton, however, she runs for a mile race, a distance which is evidently her forte, and wins. This is not surprising, and I only ask any person whether odds would not have been freely laid on Man ganese if she had not ran at either Ascot or Goodwood ? Besides, too, before the race many experienced judges expressed to me their astonishment that Manganese was not made the favourite. Is it also unusual for owners of horses to give orders to their jockeys not to persevere when they find their animals beaten ? Do not we fre quently Bee jockeys against whom calumny has never whispered the slightest suspicion pull up as soon as they have called upon their horses and have discovered there is no "go " left in them. My opinion is that Theodora was stopped by the severe hill at the finish. The great est enemies to the turf are those persons who cannot keep their temper when they lose their money, and who make charges which are unjust and unfounded. I scarcely know how to deal with the current week's sport. There's enough racing to satisfy the most ardent sportsman. I have,one comfort, however ; I shall not be compelled to touch upon the events decided to-day at Lewes and Wolverhampton. Seriously speaking— or writing—there are too many race meetings, and the sooner some of them are abolished the better. The Wolverhampton Gathering will not, I trust, be the first to be discontinued, for not only is it well and honestly conducted, but every exertion is employed by the Com mittee to promote sport. I should like to see some of the minor meetings abolished in order to give it fair play. I will briefly touch upon the events to be decided hero to-morrow and Wednesday. Bandaloro or Prince Plaus ible ought to win the Patshuii Handicap. Should Lam bourn put in an appearance for the Chillington Stakes, I shall unhesitatingly stick to his colours. Gemara di Yergy, who is also amongst the nominations for this event, has engagements at Reading. On paper the Cleveland Cup looks a pretty good thing for Pole Star. In her absence, however, Fishcrman may manage to get home first. The Free Handicap ought to be won by either Bucksfoot or Gaudy. Marie may win the Wrot • tesley Stakes, and The Unexpected will carry off the Foal Stakes. For the Holyoake Stakes I shall select Little Davie and Goldhill. The Stewards' Plate may go to either the Maid of Cadiz or Titormous. Mr. Topham does his best for Lewes, but he has not worked wonders in that locality. Next year, however, there is hope for him, for an arrangement has been made by which the meeting will be held on the days follow ing the Brighton gathering. I shall not attempt to de termine the probabilities for to-morrow, for really the racing excites little or no interest amongst persons who are not actually assisting at the meeting. Reading Races seem likely to be attended with their usual success. Several improvements have been made for conducting with greater facility the business of the meeting. The supply of sport is likely to be ample. Westminster ought to win the EastHampstead Stakes. Should Pretty Boy start for the Berkshire Stakes not see anything formidable enough likely to enter the lists to defeat him. Libellist will, perhaps, be his most dangerous antagonist. Either Madame Clicquot or Gamma di Vergy seems likely to carry off the Abbey Stakes. For the Nursery my fancy points to Orianda. If Zaidee did not carry off the Ham Stakes by a mere fluke, she will experience no difficulty in winning the Reading Stakes. For the Whitley Stakes my " picks " are Katherine Logie and Sandboy.

SUNDAY MUSIC IN THE PARKS AT MAICCHESTEIL-- In consequence of the resolution parsed by the Mau ch.ester town council, on Wednesday, the comroi! tee for providing Sunday music for the people have given notice they will for the present withdraw the Sunday b ans from the people's parks. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERIES BY BOYS AT TELE WEST-END.— John Crofts, aged 14, William King, aged 15, and Rickard Piper, aged 17, were brought before Mr. Bingham under the following circumstances : Police•sergeant No. 4 C deposed that yesterday (Sun day) afternoon, while he was on duty in Mount-street, Berkeley-square, his attention was called to the three prisoners, who were standing against the door of Lady Fisher. The prisoner Crofts had a screw-driver in his right hand, and when they saw witness they ran away. Witness having received information of the prisoners having taken off several brass escutcheons and figures off the doors of the nobility, he pursued them with one of the shopkeers, when they succeeded in securing the whole of the prisoners. When they were searched at the station-house 16 pieces of brass were found upon the prisoner Crofts. One of the figures had been takes from the hall door of Lady Emily Ponsonby, and the whole of the other articles had been owned by the ser vants of noblemen and gentlemen residing in the vicinity of Berkeley-square. Latterly, great complaints had been made to the police respecting the numerous rob beries in the same neighbourhood. The property having been identified by'the severa' witnesses, Mr. Bingham remarked on the conduct of the pri• soners, and said that, to set an example to other boys, he should send them to prison for one calendar month each, with hard labour. Committed accordingly. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Aug. 11.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.; ligh breeze and fine clear sultry weather.

PUBLIC CLO C KS.—In any settlement of the church rate question it is to be hoped all the public clocks will be handed over to the municipal authorities, or improve meta boards, for it is thoroughly scandalous that when a Church-rate squabble bursts forth in a town, the church clocks, which are those most needful to the working classes, are altogether stopped. Public clocks, properly so called, are fewer in England than in innot countries. —Building NM. ViZitittio SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock, TAITTERSALL'S.—(This Evening.)

The old days of yachting seem to have returned 4 o usi ; The yachts are again well matched, and nothince rk_ ‘n/cl exceed the excitement of this day, nor could a 6i ler breeze have been wished for. The following velsi els were entered : Yachts. Tore. Ownerq. Cecile Lotus... Urania Gieriana .......... 134 Lalla R00kh...... 126 Viking Columbine But the Gloriana, Lelia Rook!), Viking, and Urania on ly started. The Viking's qualities had not been tried, an d though she bad many admirers the Gloriana was decii l edly the favourite. On the starting gun being fired tl Lalla Rookh (which had the so uthernm ost station) rounds off before the wind, and went away to the eastwar before a fresh S.W. breeze. The Gicriana crowded sa cosely after her, followed by the Viking. Th e -u mni a took the thing very quietly, got her sails up leisurel3 and followed the other three at a respectful distance ; indeed appeared only to be entered to make one in nun ber, or perhaps for the chance of half a gale of wind , when she might Lave proved an awkwa r d cus t omer particularly as the Gloriana, calculating ou light winds , had landed four tons of her ballast. The struggle wal between the Gloriana and the Leila, Rookh, the forma r having passed the latter off Ryde, kept it for the remain . der of the race of fifty miles, and eventually beating L r little more than one minute in the day's sail I • ~A. The match for 200 sovereigns a side, between Lon 1 Conyngham's yacht Cecile, of 190 tons, and Lord Vane' a Lotus, of 188 tons, is also to come off tcemorrow. Twi finer yachts no club can boast of ; and, as they are wel 1 matched for size, we hope that they may be favoured! 1 with a spanking breeze to try their sailing qualities. THE CHALLENGE CIIP.—The committee report bayou) *. ably of the progress they are making, and we find tb s ,t it io creating considerable interest amongst yachtsmen MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.— The following Engli sh and foreigu yachts have been entered to sail tc-mor:o eve (Aionday) : Lulworth DO tons...

AUQ. 1 0. Her Majesty embarked from Osborne, on beard the Victoria and Albert, this afternoon, and at a gut Irter before five o'clock she steamed away to the wcstw ard, the Fairy and nine Government steam-ships leading', for the Channel Islands and Plymouth. It is very naughty of the Royal party sailing on a Sunday, but we suppose it was their only leisure day. THEATRICALS. GYMNASE.—A piece under the formidable denoniina• tion of "Les Vainqueurs de Lodi" is the latest novelty here, suggesting, in this overpowering weather, the hot work at the terrible bridge rendered memorable by the gallantry of Napoleon. This was, indeed, enough to keep the crowd at a respectful distance, and the es.ger ness was in fact not inconveniently pressing -on the' first representation. To the relief, however, of those assent. bled, the piece turned out to be a subject taken from one of the prettiest of modern romances, " La Chartre use de Parme," in which a young French officer is saved from the deadly vengeance of his Italian hosts by the generosity and tact of the niece of the family in which he is billeted, who have arranged an ambuscade against the hated invaders of their country. Nicely written and prettily acted, this trifle goes off gaily, and the name of M. La Rounat was given out as the author with general marks of favour. ••••••••• VARIETES, —A. series of table aux vivants, burlesque and caricature, are presented here, with the aid of a plot of the very flimsiest description, in which a John. Bull of the old sohool, who admires everything, is the butt of the author's fun, such as it is. The title of this affair is " La Mud° Comique", the idea of which is much better than the execution, for with a little taste the groupings might be made really attraive. It WA°, howevor, allowod to pass without opposition. HIPPODROME. —Our old friend "Le fire de Franc- Boisy of the chanson, which, to say th e t ru th, h ail be come a good deal of a:bore, is here introduced in a n ovel form, being dramatised into an amusing equestrian, bur lesque, the extravagance and comicality of which were much relished. The riding and the various exercises among which those of half a dozen Africans are very re markable, were also much applauded. These 'would have given more satisfaction had the legendary buffoon eries of " Le Sire" been somewhat curtailed, the general fault of these entertainments being their extreme length. The public will be glad to learn that the health of Milo. Rachel gives some hops of her re-appearance be. fore them during the ensuing winter. Mlle. Judith has, upon reconsideration, withdrawn her resignation from the Theatre Francais. The Little difference with M. Got is not yet quite arranged,. but this comedian is too valuable, and we hope too reason able in his demands, to be lost to the Francais. M. Puget, from the Op6ra-Comique, bas appeared at the ~/lea.domie in "Lucia" as Ecigardo. He was im mensely applauded, but the part has seldom been so iudifierentiy sung in Paris, and at this theatre, we have before had occasion to remark it has often been su ng ' very badly. Donizetti's beautiful opera is indeed hero scarcly rcoognkable. Calzolari, Mine. 'Goal°, and a few other of the Italian artistes passed through Paris this week from London, en route f9r Moscow. The directors of the Adelphi are again in Paris, at tracted, it is said, by the glowing accounts given of the nautical effects at the Porte St. Martin in " Le Fils de la Nuit." It appears, however, that the grand scene of the manoeuvring of the ship, &c., has been long since done in London on a mere complete and extensive scale. It is inexplicable to us that some of the London mana gers do not come over to Paris—with their staff of seenepainters and machiaists—to show ho w th ey d o these things. In Paris we want very much a lesson in the art of scene-shitting. The time taken at all the theatres hero to set a complicated scene would not be credited in London. A " comic pantomime"—not such imitations as we have had in Paris, but a fee simile of a fir st•rate Christmas pantomime—would draw all Paris for months, and make the fortune of the entrepreneur. A German paper acquaints us that Mlles. Clara and Therese Ponta, both countesses by birth, have made their debut in Munich in "Romeo et Giulietia" with vast success, and another contemporary gives a long list of counts and countesses, and other titled noblesse, who' figura on the stage of the Italian Opera in London. We roust observe that all such Compliments are in the worst possible taste. When the vicissitudes of life oblige in dividuals of whatever station to appear before the pub lic, they should owe their solo distinction to their talents. All the rest, as Pope says—"is leather and prnnello." THEATRICALS IN CHINA.—We read in t e Clan 3 Mail :—" The theatrical company lately in Hong Kong have removed to Canton, where their perfc rmance I are watched by the local governmetit with mere than ordi nary vigilance. The destruction of Fatshan, in 1854, is believed to have originated on the inflammatory ad- - dresses of some of the players, and in consequence only fifteen companies are now licensed for the drama in the provinces of liwangsi and Kwangtune---Aut half the number licensed when the government had less to ap prehend."
