From the evidence of the prosecutor, a jeweller and watchmaker in the Strand, it appeared that the prisoner had been observed lurking about iu front of the shop win dow for some time, and from certain suspicious movements it was thought his object was robbery. After a short time he pushed his hand through the pane of glass ie the shop window and seized hold of a large bunch of gold chains. Fortunately for the prosecutor the hole made in the window was not large, as after the prisoner had grasped the articles he was unable to withdraw his hand from the shop window. The prosecutor, immediately the glass was broken, ran into the street and seized hold of the fellow, and held him until a police-constable came up, when he was given into cus tody. As the constable was taking him to the station house, he resisted very much, and it was not until the aid of another constable had been procured that he could be lodged in the station-house. Both constables were kicked and struck by the prisoner. The magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the change, when he replied it didn't matter what he said, as he had been taken before he had had a chance of getting away. The magistrate committed him to prison for three months for the attempted robbery, as also for two months for assaulting the police. MAR LB OROUGH.- STRE E T ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Sarah Myers, a young woman, was this morning brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, from the House of Detention, where she has been for a week, having been charged with attempting to commit suicide by taking some mineral acid. It appears that the prisoner was seen by a constable lying on some ',door-steps, a razor protruding from her bosom, and having told some of the bystanders she meant to commit suicitle the first opportunity. The constable asked her why she intended to do so, and she said she had just come out of Maidstone Gaol, and her parents would not receive her. She was then taken to the station, where she admitted taking 2d. worth of a mineral poison, and was then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and the following certificate was handed to the magistrate : " This is to certify that Sarah Rogers was admitted to this hospital, having taken some mineral poison." Prisoner said she had no place to go to, and Welsh, the gaoler, said her parents would do nothing for her and that she had been sent to prison for robbing them. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to be brought up this morning, and the chaplain of the House of Detention forwarded the magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) a letter, stating that he has written to a committee of ladies in the city with the view of getting her into some institution. Prisoner said she was willing to go with the female warder, and Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged her to be at once taken to the city. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Sarah Smith, a married woman, of No. 7, Duff's-fields, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit suicide. A large number of persons of both sexes have been brought to this court at various times, for many years past, charged with attempting self-destruction, and the custom has been almost invariably to remand offenders for a week, to receive spiritual admonition and consolation from the Rev. Mr. Jephson, the excellent chaplain of the House of Deten tion, and upon their being brought up a second time, to dis charge them with some good advice. This course of pro ceeding has not, and probably never will, stay the progress of a crime which the magistrates have so often declared is alike forbidden by divine and human laws. A few days since a boy named Thomas Buckley saw the prisoner at the side of the " Cut," a branch of the River Lea at Bremley. She threw herself into the water, and the boy called out for help. A man threw a leather strap towards the prisoner, retaining hold of one end of it him self. It did not reach her, and another man a blacksmith, jumped into the stream and brought her out, apparently lifeless, and it was some 'time before she was resuscitated. Inspector Beare, of the K division, said the prisoner had been in the workhouse under medical treatment for several days, and she was brought from there this morning to answer for her conduct and give some account of herself. He heard that the prisoner was sepa rated from her husband, and was 30 years of age. She would have been drowned if a man had not sprung into the water with his clothes on and saved her. The prisoner said she did not know whether she fell in the water or threw herself in. She was in a good deal of trouble and very ill. The prisoner was remanded to the Clerkenwell House of Detention for a week. T.HIS DAY'S ShIPPINCi. LONDON, Nov.

THE PRICE OF GOLD The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.321 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 429 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 4-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1071 to 1071 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY'S STEAMERS.—On Wednesday the paddle steamer Eugenie, built by Messrs. Samuelson and Co., of Hull, for the South- Eastern Railway Company, made an official trial trip on the measured mile in the Humber, and exceeded by half a knot the guaranteed speed under the contract. There were on board Capt. Boxer, superintendent of the South-Eastern Company's steamers ; Mr. Cudworth, the engineer of the railway, and the Hull Board of Trade surveyors. The re suit of the last three runs was a follows :—First, the dis tance on the measured mile was run against the tido in 4 min 1 sec ; with the tide, 3 min 40 sec. Second, against the tide, 3 min 41 sec ; with the tido, 3 min 40 sec. Third, with the tide, 3 min 33 sec; against the tide, 3 min 46 sec. The average of these three runs were, first, 3 min 51 see, or 15.584 knots an hour ; second, 3 min 40 sec, or 16•363 knots an hour ; third, 3 min 38 sec, equal to 15.574 knots in the hour. The average of the three runs was 1615 knots, the average speed therefore being 19 statute miles an hour. This is the first boat that has ever been built on the Humber to come up to this speed. The Eugenie is 200 feet long, 24 feet broad, and 11 feet deep. Her engines are on the oscil lating principle, and are of 220 nominal horse-power. They were built by Messrs. Samuelson. The vessel is intended to run with passengers from Folkestone to Boulogne, and the first and second and ladies' cabins are elegantly fitted up with every convenience and the most modern improvements. She has been greatly admired by all who have seen her. ADULTERATION.—The Lances of the 26th ult. contains a report upon the adulteration of mustard. It gives the results of the analysis of 33 samples. Of these, 29 consisted of mixtures of turmeric, wheat-flour, and mus tard, and in addition, in one sample, sulphate of lime or plaster of Paris, and four only were genuine, and were composed wholly of mustard. Of these four genuine samples, o no was bought of Messrs. Petty, Wood, and Co., of King William-street, City, and was manufactured by Evans, Lewis, and Co.; two were purchased of Messrs. Armstrong and Son, of New Bond-street, and were manufactured by Messrs. J. and T. Colman ; and one was obtained from Messrs. Dakin and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard. Of 44 samples, the results of which were made known in the Lancet some years back, not one was genuine; so that some improvement has taken place in the condition of the article sold as mustard. It has been pertinaciously asserted that mustard cannot be manufactured unless with the aid of such additions as wheat-flour and turmeric, and further, that if it could, the public would not use it. The occur rence of a certain proportion of samples of genuine mustard demonstrates the erroneousness of both these assertions. ' As a rule, the prices paid for the adulterated mustard were quite as great as for the genuine. BENSON'S WATCHES AND CLOCKS..—" Perfection of meehanism."—Morning Post.

TliE FEMALE SIVIADLER AT CLIFTON Rose Douglas, the female who has been swindling trades- people in Bristol and neighbourhood, and against whose ! devices we have upon more than one occasion cautioned the public within the last week, seems de ermined to get into trouble. Notwithstanding the narrow escape she had of being summarily dealt with by the city magistrates, on Monday, she has still been trying her old business on, but with less success than formerly. Seme amusing stories are afloat as to the manner in which she has " come over" some of the oldest medical men in this city—one of whom sent her home in his carriage, so pleased was he with his en gagement as acoeucheur. It is believed by most persons that the young woman is of unsound mind, and the magis trates of this city seemed inclined to that belief. She was on Tuesday brought before the Mayor, Mr. R. King, and Mr. J. Coates, the sitting magistrates, at the Council-house % charged with stealing a gold-seal, the pr o p er t y o f Dr. Fryer. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday the prisoner called at his house with a young woman, whom she de scribed as her lady's maid, and inquired if he thought it was safe for her to go to London in the " interesting situati.:,n" she was in. She remained in his consulting room about half an hour, and upon leaving promised to return in two hours. The two hours elapsed, however, and no " lady" came, and the evening passed away without her appear ance, but on the Sunday she drove up in a respectable cab and wished to consult him with regard to a re spectable nurse whom she wished to engage. After asking for the directions of a nurse she complained of being faint and unwell, and asked for a glass of brandy and water. During his temporary absence from the room his wife entered, and the prisoner implored her for a glass of brandy and water, and on his return he became suspicious 5 owing to her having altered h er p os iti on an d pl ace d herself near his desk. He, however, did not miss anything at the time, but after her departure he went to Mrs. Crook's, in. Redcliff-street, who told him that a lady, answering the prisoner's description, had been there and employed a lady's maid, but she knew nothing more about her. Whilst there the prisoner drove up in a cab along with the girl she had engaged as waiting-maid, and upon inquiring her residence she told him she lived with Mrs. King, 29, Royal York crescent. Some time after her last visit to his house he examined his desk, and found that a gold seal had been stolen from it, but he could not say that the prisoner had taken it. The seal produced was his. It had his initials upon it, and he had had it in his desk for the last 20 years. Mr. Williams (magistrates' clerk)—Do you wish to ask Mr. Fryer anything ? Prisoner—All I have to say is that what he has said is quite correct ; but I did not take the seal, I picked it up. Police-Sergeant Beard deposed to the prisoner coming to him on Monday, with the seal produced. She told him that she had found it, and upon her being discharged on Monday afternoon, owing to their being no case against her, he re turned her the seal. Since then, however, he had received information of Dr. Fryer's seal having been stolen, and the prisoner was again taken in charge. The prisoner, when asked what she had to say in defence, alleged that she picked the seal up on Brandon •hill. Mr. King (to Dr. Fryer)—Had you any reason to think she was of unsound mind ? Dr. Fryer—l thought she talked rather queer. Mr. Williams—Was that after she had the brandy and water ! (Laughter.) Dr. Fryer—l think it was. Mr. Williams—The prisoner has been going about under a variety of names, and has represented herself as a mar ried person, but that is not true. Prisoner—Yes, it is true, and my real name is Vernon. Mr. E. Williams, surgeon, deposed to the prisoner being introduced to him by a lady of his acquaintance, of whom she had asked to be recommended to a medical man as accoucheur. From her manner he thought her of unsound mind, or decidedly deceiving. Having sent to her residence he found that several medical men had been theie on the same fruitless errand. The bench remanded the prisoner in order that Mr. Crosby Leonard might examine into the state of her mind. —Western. D ily Press. PADDY RYAN AND THE PRINCE OF WALES. The Nenagh Guardian, an Irish journal, has the follow ing amusing story : Most `of our readers know Paddy 'Ryan, formerly of Carrick-on-Suir, and more recently of Nenagh, the manu facturer and hawker of Irish tweeds. Paddy, who had at all times a great fancy for the Curragh of Kildare, was particularly desirous of seeing the plain once again while the Prince of Wales was staying there. He accordingly paid a visit to the camp during his Royal Highness's sojourn, and determined to offer the illustrious representa tive of the Sovereign his dutiful respects. By dint of stratagem he succeeded in getting into the presence of the Prince, in his quarters. Here Paddy paid homage to his Royal Highness, and having enjoyed this privilege, the bright idea struck him that he might turn the occasion to a little personal advantage, and accordingly he displayed to the view of the prince some specimens of his ware, which he chanced to bring with him, at the same time treating his royal highness, in his own peculiar brogue, to a gratuitous dissertation on the modus operandi adopted by him in the manufacture of the tweed, at his rural factory in Tipperary. The prince was pleased with Paddy's power of speech, no less than the creditable result of his industry and toil, and to show his appreciation of both, ordered a coat of Paddy's own manipulation. Delighted, Paddy inserted his pliant scissors, and with lightning speed severed the making of the coat from the favourite piece. The Prince of Wales then ordered liberal payment to be made to Paddy for the article, and here it was that Paddy showed he was not only a loyal subject, but a generous one to boot. Was it Paddy Ryan to take payment for a coat for his future king ? To do so would be unworthy of the name he bore, the country he belonged to, or the country that claimed him as a son. The prince could not think of accepting the poor man's ware on such terms, and insisted on remunerating him. Paddy was inexorable, too, in his refusal of any sum, great or small, for the article ; but since his Royal Highness was so determined on recompensing him, he did not like to oppose his illustrious will; and if he would only give the dutiful liege of his august mother his autograph, merely prefacing it by a short statement that he had bought a coat of Irish tweed from Paddy Ryan, of Tipperary, of his own manufacture, it was all he would ask or accept of. The Prince at once complied, and presented Paddy with the de sired testimonial under his own hand. Paddy made obei sance and salaams without number, offered prayers for the speedy and happy marriage of the Prince, and retired ; and being always opposed to the principle of " hiding his talent under a bushel," he exhibited the Prince's certificate to all with whom he came in contact, or, rather—to bring the favoured number into proper a limit—to such of those he met as would be likely to be influenced by example, parti cularly the example of the Prince of Wales, in taking a coat of Paddy Ryan's tweed. The result more than realised his expectations, as we are informed that " From the colonel down To the man with the ' crown' " every brigade, regiment, and depot at the camp, invested in Paddy's merchandise. ~~ SPECTRAL ANALYSIS. e some time ago gave an account of Mr. Crookes's dis covery of a new element, closely resembling sulphur, by means of the spectrum obtained by the transmission of the light emitted by the flame of certain substances through a prism, just as is done with the sun-light, which, as is gene rally known, is thus decomposed, giving rise to the colours of the rainbow. The Illoniteur now publishes a highly interesting article, from the pen of M. Dumas, on spectral analysis, of which we give the substance :—The solar spec trum transmitted through the prism is wanting in certain shades of the seven colours, and their places are occupied in the spectrum by black bands or streaks, If we sub ject the light of the moon or planets to the same analysis, we shall find these bands in e xactly the same places ; but if we analyse the light of the fixed stars by the same method, we shall find th at the black streaks are not arranged in the same way; nay, every fixed star varies in regard to their arrangement. Artificial light derived from different sources also furnishes spectra, in which, however, we remark coloured and brilliant lines which are not to be found in the solar spectrum. It is upon this fundamental circumstance that the whole theory of spectral analysis rests. All the salts of a given metal, when brought into contact with a flame, produce in its spectrum brilliant colours of the same tint and position; the salts of different metals yield other colours, differing from the former in shade and position ; and infinitely small particles of a metal will suffice to produce its specific colours. Here, then, we have a method of analysis of extreme delicacy; by merely observing the spectrum yielded by a given sub stance, we can at once ascertain its nature or its ingre dients with astonishing accuracy. Let but a thousand millionth of a gramme of kitchen-salt, for instance, be in troduced into a flame, and it will at once cause it to reveal through the prism the characteristic lines and tints pertain ing to sodium. It is thus M.M. Bunsen and Kirchhoff, pro fessors at the University of Heidelberg, who have just been decorated by the Emperor of the French, as our readers know, have been enabled to ascertain that certain elements , supposed to be very rare, such as lithium for instance, ,are fr extremely common, while at the same time they have equent dis- - covered in certain sediments and rocks o f ver y currence new elements the existence of which h ad not even oc been suspected. These are rubidium and caesium, which belong to the family of metals. But one of the most singu lar consequences deduced fro m s p ectral analysisis this that we are enabled to asce rtain the chemical composition of the solar atmosphere. For, since the solar spectrum is u y that de o a f ncdololiterasd, w w h e ic m h payeccuolnia:il aper tdaeivno into of s i c l e v r e t r a , i certain s copperhda e t h ese metals are w antin g there; while e converse, the existence in the solar spectru m of c ertain streaks peculiar to iron, chromium, and nickel, shows that these metals are component parts of the solar sphere ; and, what is still sn ore singular, silicium and aluminium, so abundant our globe, are not to be found in the
