i~iO2'EY MAR AND CIT B WAV. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present indica tions of improvement, and although bills can now be negotiated at 3a per cent., increased easiness is anticipated. . _ _ About £16,000, in gold, was purchased by the Bank of England yesterday.

A fair amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices Were firm. The sales were about 12,000 bales. There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. James Coster, Beater, Dennant, and Ruse, warehousemen, to consider the legal question whether the executors of the late Mr. James Coster, who claim £129,265, are entitled to rank upon the estate as creditors in a like manner to the trade cre ditors who represent about £84,328. After a lengthened discussion resolutions were passed to wind up under a deed of inspectorship, and a com mittee of 11 was appointed who will take proper legal advice on this and any other questions that may arise.

Of Great Tower-street, has proposed to make paper from the fi brous parts of fish, and obtains also from the same material a size, for sizeing paper. Mr. Frederick Brown, City-road, obtains a fibrous PulP suitable for the manufacture of paper and other useful substances' from the leaves and frait of the citron, the orange, and the lemon tree. M. Castelain, of O xford -street, and M. Vasserot, of Essex-street, Strand, Propose to make paper and millboard from a pulp extracted f rom liquorice root. Dr. Collyer has obtained a patent for m anufacturing paper from the refuse of beetroot, which is to be obtained in large quantities on the continent, where the m anufacture of beetroot sugar is extensively carried on. Cheat difficulty has arisen in the practical working of these doss, patents from the operation of the excise regnla "ous, which have always had a tendency to cripple enter- Prise, and preserve the established routine in those branches ep fi nanufacture which have been subject to the obnoxious t ax. 411 some cases the new raw material proposed by inventors aY not be producible in sufficient quantity to be practically av ailable. In others it may be too costly, or, for reasons ~I . u n ell the public in general would bo unable to appreciate thont a tedious explanation, it may be unavailable. But, d af ter every allowance for such exceptions, there can be no til °ll bt that immense quantities of available material, other co " rags, really exist. Not only is straw produced in this th tlll trY to the extent of some 30,000,000 tons annually, as *Waste of the grain we grow, but there are, in different ; o ' ri rt e s of the world, and especially in our vast Indian te p ro ., 9 a great variety of fibrous plants, many of which will o a ue hlY be made available in the manufacture of paper; Illustrated Family Paper.

BOW-STREET. John Mason, an elderly man, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a piece of cloth, value 65., the pro perty of Mr. Burnet, draper, Piazza, Covent-garden. A lad said he was sent yesterday by his mistress to Mr. Burnet's shop to purchase a skein of silk, and as he was leaving it he saw the prisoner pull down the piece of cloth, which was hanging at the door, and walk away with it. He immediately went up to I he man and charged him with the robbery. He took the cloth (produced) from the pri • Boner's person. Mr. Bate said ho was in the employ of Mr. Burnet. The property produced had been stolen from the door, where it was hanging for sale. The last witness brought the pri soner into the shop and charged him with being the thief. The losses by robbery from their premises had of late been very large. Mr. Henry—The mode in which your goods are exposed, no doubt, have something to do.with that. Witness—The goods are secured as well as they can be. Mr. Henry—That may be, but as a great quantity of goods are hung outside your shop, your losses to some de gree may be accounted for. Witness—The system had been pursued for the last 30 years, and as much care as possible is taken to protect the property. The losses of late had been exceedingly numer ous,but we must, I suppose, submit to it as a tax upon shop keepers. Mr. Henry—No, not so. It is in consequence of the manner the goods are hung outside the shop. The sys tem you adopt is not followed in the Strand. Witness—Our establishment is not so conspicuously situated as others, and we are compelled to exhibit our goods, or we should never sell them at all. The stealing is not confined to the outside of the shop. Only a few days ago five ladies' dresses, of the value of £3O, were taken from the counter, and a little tine previous to that a roll of black silk of 100 yards was also carried off. Mr. Henry—Then I should think that the shop is not very well attended to. Witness—lt is a very :arge place of business. Every body is frequently engaged with customers, and it is during this time that the robberies are effected. Mr. Henry—ls anything known of the prisoner ? Atkins, one of the constables of the market, said the pri soner had, he thought, beet} before in the court for stealing a coat from off a " dummy" at a tailor's shop door. On being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, the prisoner said I did not steal the cloth; I picked it up. lam quite destitute. Mr. Henry ordered the prisoner to be remanded, in order :o ascertain whether he had been before convicted, as in hat event he should commit him for trial. MARLBOROUGII-STRE ET. DISGRACEFUL APPLICATION.-A decently-dressed woman, with a little boy, attended before Mr. Yardley, and said she sent her little boy to a place a few nights ago and a sovereign was missed after he left, and since then she had sent him to the same place and some more money was missed after he left. She xished to know what she was to do with her boy. Mr. Yardley—What do you want me to do with that child ? All I can say is, that when children turn out bad it is the parents' fault. lake home your child, treat him and teach him properly. Teach him to pray, and take him to church. and try all you can to reform him. Who can teach a child like a good mother P You are evidently one of those mothers who leave your children to roam the streets and look after themselves, instead of taking care of them. It is the most scandalous application I ever heard. Go away. There is little doubt the woman's object was to try to get the boy into a reformatory, make other persons pay for his keep, and thus get rid of the burthen. CLERREN WELL. CRUELTY BY A FATHER.—Thomas Howell was placed at the bar this morning, charged with assaulting his un fortunate child. The evidence was to the effect that the prisoner was seen to strike the child very heavily on the head and also in flicting other injuries. On an examination of the child's body being made, other marks of violence, evidently in flicted some days, were discovered. Mr. D'Eyncourt reproved the father for acting in such a manner to his own child, and ordered him to find two sure ties in £lO each for tho next three months. Two lads were charged with tossing and gambling in the public streets to the annoyance of the passengers and in habitants. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked if there were any of the complain ing parties present. On being answered in the negative, he ordered the lads to be discharged, as it was the duty of those who complained to come forward substantiate the charge. We understand that Viscount Monck is likely to succeed Sir E. Walker Head as Governor-Geneial of Canada. Although this appointment is somewhat excep tional in its character, from the fact of Lord Monck not having been previously in the Colonial service, it is one which we feel certain will be approved by the public gene rally and the community with whose interests it is more peculiarly conticted,_ 1143..ulpfessionaLman, a member of Parliament for some years, and a member of the Govern ment, Lord Monck evinced great business capacity and acquired general popularity. We have every reason to an ticipate that his Canadian career will be attended with bene ficial results to the public interest. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, AUG. 29. THE MESSENGER BIRD.—CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, July 16.—The master of the Bessie Seabright, arrived on the 14th inst., from Mauritius, &c., shot a pigeon at sea just before arriving in port, which bad a phial tied to its neck, containing a piece of paper with the following : " The ship Lord Raglan, from Bombay, towards Liverpool, out 37 days; lat 37 S., long 34 E. All well." THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN. FRIJIT. THE POLICE SABBATH.—On Thursday evening a numerously attended meeting of the city constables was held at the school rooms, Milton-street, Chiswell-street, under the Presidency of Mr. Joseph Payne, judge of the Middlesex Sessions, at which a petition was unanimously approved of, claiming for the police of the city a relaxation of duty on Sunday. The petition, addressed to the Com missioners of Police, urges that on that day, and more especially during the hours of Divine service, the streets of London are very quiet, so that the presence of a large force in them is unnecessary. It further calls attention to the fact that by the work they have to perform on the Sabbath day the city constables are prevented from fully attending to their moral and religious duties, s. d. s. d.

A Treasury minute of the 16th July directs that the superintendents and inspectors of police shall be authorised to receive trea sure trove from the finders, and shall transmit it to the Solicitor of the Treasury, wio will ascertain at the Mint the real intrinsic or metallic value of the treasure, and the amount will then be remitted to the finder. Cases will no doubt occur in which rare and valuable coins will be dis posed of at a higher price that their bullion value, but they will then find their way into some collection, either public or private, and will not be melted down. GLASGOW MORALlTY.—Complaints have been made of treatment to which passengers are liable in the steamers between Oban and Glasgow. On Saturday last, it is stated, the steamer Mountaineer started from Oban with a good number of saloon passengers, who had paid full fares for the best accommodation, and the boat was subsequently filled with hundreds of Glasgow excursionists, of whom a large proportion were in a state ofintoxication and who were allowed to occupy without control all parts of the vessel. Several fights occurred, whisky was passed round in teacups, and oaths and indecencies prevailed on all sides. A caution, therefore, is necessary to prevent families from being ex posed to such scenes, especially as it is said to be difficult to obtain publicity in Scotland for any remonstrances on the subject.—litnes. BARE POLES.—A letter from Warsaw of the 18th says :—" M. Potapow, director of the Moscow police, arrived here yesterday from St Petersburg. At midnght an order from Colonel Rozdowski, the Prefect of Police, directed all the principal officials of his administration to assemble next morning at eleven o'clock, at M. Potapow's residence, without moustaches, They were all in attend ance, and not one rebellious hair on the upper lip offended the eye of the high functionary who had sent for them. M. Potapow announced to them the Emperor's intention of establishing at Warsaw, and throughout the kingdom, a police composed exclusively of Poles. He added that he felt confident of their fidelity a nd devotedness." THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII.—Another great ele ment of our present civilisation is beginning to make signs of its existence in the South Klensington Museum. We allude to the electric telegraph. Bakewell's copying ma chine is one of the most interesting of this class, as it brings before the public eye the means that can be employed to write with a pen thousands of miles in length. If the At lantic cable were in working order, for instance, a man through its instrumentality could sit down to write a letter in London, and feel certain that a fac-simile of his hand writing was at the same moment coming out of the tele graph office at New York. The manner in which this astounding machine works is as follows :—The message is originally written on a conducting material, such as tinfoil, with resin or some non-conducting ink. Over the face of this letter, which is placed on a cylinder, a point of metal revolves—this point is in connexion with the conducting wire; at New York, say, a pi e ce of chemical ly-p re p are d paper is placed on a like cylinder to receive the message; both cylinders are made to move round by clockwork. As the point at this end of the wire passes over the non-con ducting resin writing no current passes ; hence the point which moves synonymously with it at New York does not change the colour of the paper, but all the other surface of the writing tablet being a conductor, the currents pass and deepen its colour by a chemical action on the far distant recording tablet. The receiver thus obtains a perfect fac simile of his correspondent's handwriting done in white upon a blue ground. Specimens of this electrical hand writing are placed beside the telegraphic machine in the museum at Kensington, and afford an admirable example of the caligraphy of the lightning pen.—Once a Week, VEGETABLES.

The puddlers and rollers employed in the iron trade of Tyne, Wear, Tees, and Derwent are out on strike; 7,000 men being unemployed in the Consett and Derwent Iron-works alone. At the Consett Iron-works the masters asked of the men a reduc tion of 6d. per ton upon the puddlers, and 10 per cent. upon the roller's earnings, which the men re fused to concede; although the Scotch workmen have done so, and wages are lower in Wales than in the North. The Bishopwearmouth Iron-works will be closed to-morrow, on account of the depression in the iron trade, and as there is a misunderstanding between the creditors of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank and the managers of the Consett Ironworks with regard to the payment of a large sum of money due from them for that property, and as the managers, on account of the depression, are unable to meet it, it is threatened that these immense works may be closed before many months elapse. With regard to the strike of the puddlers and rollers at Consett, a local paper, far from unfavourable to the men, writes : " The baneful effects of the strike are being already felt in the district, not only by the work men but by the tradesmen and provision dealers. The system of trading is by fortnightly credits, and if the strike continue only for a few weeks, a considerable portion of the traders will be brought to the verge of bankruptcy. We saw several shop keepers whose average fortnightly receipts amount to from £l2O to £l5O, and although the strike be scarcely a fortnight old, their receipts have been reduced by more than one half. They are, how ever, in a manner compelled to give goods, although the receipts should be nothing ; for, if they permit their customers to go away they have no means of recovering their money. How the strike has operated on the wholesale trade may be seen from the following fact. We have already stated that on an average 12 trucks of provisions came weekly to the place, and last week there was only one. The wholesale dealers refuse to credit the retailers for their orders, knowing the difficulty of securing the sums credited in the present circum stances of the district. We trust the difference between the workmen and employers will be speedily arranged. In the interests of the men, we recommend them to accede to the terms of the mas ters, as their brethren in Staffordshire and Scot land have done. Of two evils, we ought always, as reasonable men, to choose the lesser, and it seems to us that the men, in the present condition of the iron trade, have no alternative but to work at the reduced rate of wages, or starve." THE ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT ON BOARD IHB MARCO POLO. At the Liverpcel Police-court on Thursday the captain of the ship was charged with an infringe ment of the Passengers' Act, in not having on the homeward voyage from Australia supplied the pas sengers with proper food. The principal witness was a Dr. Brown, who was a second cabin passenger. He said—We left Valparaiso on the 22d of May on the voyage home. We had an allowance of beef. It was very bad ; it was almost always bad, and it stunk occasionally. As to the pork, it was indifferent—middling. The preserved meat was also very bad. We had no allowance of butter for 15 days; I had no sugar supplied to me for 15 days, and during the whole voyage I had no lump sugar, although I contracted to receive it. Four other passengers gave similar evidence as to the bad quality of the provisions, but they generally admitted that molasses had been offered in lieu of sugar, ham instead of butter, and that coffee had been substituted in the place of tea. Mr. Forshaw, in addressing the Court for the defendant, said, after the vessel had come in con tact with the iceberg, they made for Valparaiso, where provisions were ordered at houses of respec tability, for which full prices had been paid; and if the provisions were bad, the captain had been duped by these parties. It was true that they had fallen short of butter on the voyage; but that was in consequence of the parties who supplied it at Valparaiso giving deficient quantities ; for when they got to sea they found, when they opened the casks of butter, that one cask had been placed within another, so that the quantity was not sufficient ; but they had had a substitute offered for the tea, sugar, and butter ; and this being so. he did not think that, under all the circumstances of the case, they ought to be convicted for an infringement of the act of Parliament. This case was brought there by the doctor and others, in order to extort money from his clients. Mr. Forshaw called James Hunt, the purser of the ship, who stated that no complaint had been made to him about the beef and pork, except once, when a man brought a piece that he said was not good, and it was changed. He had never seen beef or pork thrown overboard on account of its bad quality, and when they fell short of butter, ham was substituted. Molasses was substituted when they fell short of sugar, and coffee instead of tea. The show of fruit continues moderate, but with most kinds of vegetables the market is seasonably supplied. Generally speaking, a steady business is doing, as follows : Mr. Raffles said that ho was of opinion that there had been a violation of the act but at the same time it did not appear to him to be a very bad case, because the deficiency might have arisen from accidental circumstances. He thought the emi gration officers had done right in bringing the case before the court; but at the same time he must say that the owners of the ship had seldom any thing bad against their ships, and under all cir cumstances he would inflict a penalty of £5. 711 E FISHERMAN'S EL DORADO.- s. d. s. d Cherries, per lb. 0 3to 1 0 Filberts, per lb 1 oto 1 3 Cobnuts, per lb. 1 6to 2 0 Almonds, per this 0 oto 0 0 Walnuts, per 100 1 oto 2 U Figs, per doz . 2 oto 4 Strawberries pun. 0 6 to 1 6 Gooseberries hf sv 5 oto 6 0 Currants, per do. 5 oto 8 0 Plums, per do. .. 3 6to 4 6 Greengages, pr do. 6 oto 7 0 Raspberries, pr ptlo 6to 1 0 EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT. Our readers may remember the statement of Dr. Dawson, of the North Isles (Orkney), that the cap tain of two fishing smacks had discovered a rich bank of cod near a solitary rock, called Rockall, far away in the North Atlantic. Dr. Dawson again writes to the Times :—" Captain Rhodes'and Gard ner have again made a most successful fishing, having caught between 13 and 14 tons of codfish each in about six days' fishing; while the account they give of the vast numbers of great fish that swarm around that insulated rock in the ocean is even more wonderful than before. They have no doubt millions of money will be gathered from that lonely spot in the course of the next two or three years. Two other fishing smacks returned from Iceland about three weeks ago, were instantly despatched to Rockall, and returned last night, having also met with extraordinary success. The names of the two vessels are the Howard, Cap tain Bolton, and the Victoria, Captain Cooper, both of Grimsby. The statements they give of the great fish they saw and the wealth to be gathered there seems more like the adventures of Sinbad the Sailor than proved facts by successful fishermen. They tell of encounters with great sharks 30ft. long, with mouths that could swallow calves and bodies as large and round as tuns; of their fears and surprises from the numberless large whales sporting and rising on every sine of them, one having actually grazed the boom of the Victoria with its huge sides. They also saw numbers of strange fish which they had never seen before, and some black fish larger than por poises, with flat round heads, and which seemed very numerous. Each of these two smacks has about 14 tons of cod, tusk, and living ling which they caught in five days, about £lOO in value, and no bait required; any offal does for bait. Captain Cooper also cadtured a young shark there ; its liver was 4ft. long, and gave three buckets of oil. They intend on , their return J usxt sonsnq nut. "" - to pose to catch the sharks, their d hooks - and lines having been snapt by these monsters like pipe shanks. So numerous are they, that on the escape of a fish from the hook, after being above water, up comes a great shark, turns on his back, giving it two or three shakes as a dog would: and on one occasion a ling which had so escaped was instantly seized by a blue shark, but before it was swallowed another shark appeared to dispute the prize. So fierce was their contest that their battle-field, the top of the long swell of on an Atlantic wave, was beaten to foam ; while the combatants we re engaged, a third monster, with a great open mouth that would have easly swallowed a barrel, came and sea lawyer-like, carried off the bone of conten tion and disappeared. Captain Rhodes states (and he is corroborated by other captains) that it is dangerous to go there again this season, as there is no shelter, and in dark nights and fogs they might be driven on the rocks or driven far away from it ; and it is not easily found again, even in a long summer day and a clear sky. He says that all should be prepared to start again in April or May, and fish on until August or Sep• tember. I would again call attention to the offals of those large fish. Tons of heads and in testines have already been thrown into the sea, which would have been of inestimable value if thrown on land, but do injury in the sea. They foul tie ground, and the cod leave the place. They have done so wherever such has been practised. It would be worthy of Government to send a vessel out there early to buoy the Blind Rocks, to keep order and possession, and prevent the destruction of such a valuable bank. One of the men states to me that he has been at Davis Straits whale fishing, but he never saw whales so numerous and so easy to get alongside of ; they were seen from the deck on all sides—north, east, south, and west—blowing at one time and floating with their great heads above water for hours." A MAN CHOKED TO DEATH BY A PIECE OF BEEF.—Yesterday the body of a man named William O'Donnell, a labourer, was removed from his lodgings, in York-court, East-street, Marylebone, to the parish dead house, to await an inquest, in consequence of his death having been occasioned by choking while eating his supper. Abcut nine o'clock on Thursday night he partook of beef for his supper in his usual state of health, and suddenly be came choked and almost purple from the effects of a piece of the meat he had accidentally swallowed without proper mastication, and before medical aid had been procured he expired. Mr. Roberts, one of the parish medical officers, attended soon after the distressing occurrence, and found life totally extinct. At the suggestion of the Countess of Kintore, a subscription.has been set on foot among the volunteers of Scotland, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Lord Elcho. MANCHESTER COURT OF RECORD.—The ad journed sitting of the Manchester Court of Record will be held on Monday, at the Court House, Bridge-street. The cause list contains an issue from the Court of Exchequer, a wrtt of inquiry, and 49 issues. SHORT TIME AT ENFIELD._Mesers. Felix. Leach, and Co. resumed short-time working this week; Messrs. Bates and Crowther, Messrs. Hindle Brothers, Messrs. Henry Heyes and Co. and Mr. William Brooks commence next week, and from present symptoms it will soon be come general in this neighbourhood. There has been a mutiny at the D uneannon Fort, which commands the mouth of the Suir. The Waterford Mail states that, on Tuesday morning, a party of the Royal Artillery arrived at Waterford by the Tintern, Duncannon steamer, with 15 of the mutineers-14 gunners and one bombardier—on their way to Cork, where they are to be tried by court-martian, with 15 others of the same battery, who had been previously seat thither under an escort of 50 men. HEALTH OF GARIBALDL—The Pungolo of Milan Elates that Garibaldi is unwell at Caprera, and that, not withstanding the advice of his friends, he has taken to a quack remedy, which possessed consifaerable celebrity about 30 years ago under the name of ledecine Leroy. As it is a most powerful cathartic, its use has reduced him to a de plorable state of weakness. lie is described as having given up politics altogether, and as b aying his thoughts exclu sively bent upon the state of his health.

Two STUDENT', DROWNED.—On Wednesday a party of nine. young men, chiefly students, went to the beach of Aberdee'n to bathe and practise swimming.

ACCIDENT' TO THE MALADETTA. Mr. Charles Packe, in a letter to a contemporary, says :—lt is too much the fashion of Alpine travel lers, more especially of members of the society to which I have the honour to belong, altogether to ignore the merits of these mountains, and to sup pose that the charm and danger of snowfields, or at any rate of regular glaciers is altogether wanting. That there are . glaciers in the Pyrenees was suffi ciently shown in an ascent of the Maladetta which I made a few years ago. I send you a short ac count, should you think it worth while to publish it. I must premise that, owing to the unusually hot and dry summer which has prevailed in these parts, the mountains have not at all their average coating of snow, and the glaciers are sensibly diminished, which does not at all favour the facility the ascents of the higher summ it s . had already experienced th is in an ascent of the Pic des Ponts, the second highest summit in the Pyrenees, a little to the West of the Maladetta, and only 120 feet lower than the Pie de Nethon,- the highest point of the last-named mountain. I may here mention that those travellers who care to try their hands at chamois hunting will do well t o select the Pyrenees in preference to the Alps. I was five days in the neighbourhood of the Pie des Ponts, and no day passed without my seeing izards, more or less numerous; and we constantly came upon the perdrix Manche, or ptarmigan. On Mon day last I started, with three gentlemen and four guides, for the Rencluse of the Maladetta, an over hanging rock at the toot of the glacier of the Mala detta proper, which is the usual sleeping place preparatory to the ascent.' At 4 a.m. we started, with Mercury shining brightly for a morning star, and by 30 minutes past 6 had reached the Postilion, the spot where you quit the rock and pass on to the Glacier de Nethou. The passage of this generally occupies not quite two hours, but we were obliged to make several detours to clear the crevasses, which seemed wider and more frequent this year. About three-quarters of the way across we all sat down to repose in a spot where the snow seemed perfectly smooth. We were, of course, roped together, with an interval between each of about eight feet. There was a call_for something to drink, and the last guide detached himself to hand the wine bottle to each of us. He was passing before us, and when certainly not more than three yards from the spot where I was sitting he suddenly dropped through the snow and disappeared. There was no sound, either cry or cracking of the ice, but th e g l ac i er quietly swallowed up its victim. It was horrible to witness; but, of course, there was only one thing to be done. We speedily disengaged the rope from our bodies, and carefully holding it in o ur h ands approached the hole, whieh was not a lar ge one, Pierre Barran, 'my guide, being the first. We let down the rope through the hole, and anxiously expected a reply to our shout ; for some seconds, however, we could get none. At last it came, but, the voice sounded fearfully indistinct and distant-, stifled as it was by the snow and walls of i_ce. The man, the guide said, fell 18 metres, but from the rope let down I should say about l 0 feet. Thanks, however, to the bed of snow that fell with him, and in which he Was partly buried, he was not hurt, and he was able to fasten the rope round his body, so that in about five minutes we drew him up, none the worse, b ut f earfully cold. He described his position as having been very poil ous, having been caught on a ledge, below which sunk an abyss, the bottom of which we could not have reached. But in this he may have exagge rated. However, the man himself, whose name is Correge, showed plenty of courage and presence of mind, and all the guides behaved very well; so the 'c it was unanimously decided to continue our coterse to the top, which we all reached, with the ex.eviition of one of our party, a French gentleman, Neb o de clined passing the Pont de Mehemet, a short but precipitous arete of rock, between the glacier and the actual summit. I found that a minimum registering thermometer, which I had left on the top in an ascent the previous year, had been swept away by the wind. The height of the Pie de Nethou is 11,168 feet. An Alpine sympiesome ter by Casella, marked 20.32 inches. The boiling point, as shown by a portable little apparatus by the same maker, was 193.3 deg. Fahrenheit, and the temperature of the air was 42 deg. in the shade. This was at 10 am. On the previous ascent last year at 9 a.m, the thermometer had only marked 22 deg. Our descent to the Rencluse was effected in about 31 hours, without anything remarkable. An ascent of the Maladetta is not at all an uncom mon or very difficult occurrence, as ladies sometimes, accomplish it with the help of their guides, but this was the first time a man had fallen in a crevasse altogether out of sight since 1824, when Barran, the grandfather of my guide, fell into one, and the body was never recovered. THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE. The extraordinary increase in the numb er of Post-office delinquencies, and. the very l arge amount of plunder by letter-carriers ant/. others employed in this important branch of t:ae public service, appear to excite very great attention, and the authorities of the establishment rare directing their serious attention to the subject, and have been in communication with the judges whereby these offences may be put a stop to. The number of cases brought before the public, where persons in the ser vice of the Post-office are detected and sent for trial, bears but an exceedingly small proportion to the extent of the crime, and it probably would be no exaggeration to state that the number of cases in which detection follows does not bear a proportion of one-twentieth part to the number of cases in which property—in many instances to a considerable amount—has been stolen from let ters passing through the Post-office, the detection in most instances taking place by means of " trap" or " test" letters, as they are termed, this step being resorted to after repeated complaints being made of the loss of letters in a particular district. At the last sittings of the Central Criminal Court, no fewer than nine post office letter-carriers, or sorters, were convicted, or pleaded guilty to stealing letters containing in some instances money and property of considerable value, and this number is nearly double the usual average. In every one of these cases it appeared that constant com plaints had been made previously of the loss of letters containing money, and the Post-office authorities were consequently compelled t o resort to the expedient of the " trap" with a vierw to dis cover the depredator. This plan, althoug'b. in some respects it be considered objectionable, always been successful except in a few peculiar cast ?..s. A good many observations have been made at various times in reference to the amount of pay received by the subordinates in the Post-office, and it has been alleged that the small amount of wages re ceived by them has, to a considerable extent, 'tended to tempt them to the commission crime) but there is this remarkable fact in conn E 'xion with some of the cases, and particularly wit to reference to those which have just been disposed of , that the guilty p art i es were found to be' in posses sion of consid era bl e sums of money .a t t h e ti m e they were a c t ua ll y as it were, caught in. th e ac t of co,,mmitting a fresh off e nce. In one instance the officer who searched the lodging of tthe culprit, found no fewer than 40 sovereigr.s in his desk ; in the possession of another there were 13 sovereigns ; and a third had seven sovereigns, besides articles of jewellery of considerable value, e.ll of which had been stolen from different letters that had been en trusted to him to deliver. Similar instances are numerous with regard to these rinhappy offenders, and it would seem that when 'once the career of crime had been entered upon by a Post-office letter carrier, he rarely ceases his depredations until de tection and ruin to himself and family follow. A great deal of blame, of course, rests with that por tion of the public who, despite the facilities offered by the money order system and the registration of letters containing valuables, still pert3ist in enclosing mone'y in letters. A suggestion, it appears, was made by a learned judge, whose attention was called to the subject, that there should be a post-office re gulation that the receiver of every letter containing money or valuables should pay a registration fee of half-a-crown ; but as it is obvions that in some districts persons in a humble position life of have no oppo r t un ity t o ava il the ms elves of the money order sy s t em , an d a re compelled occ asionally w to send small sums to their relatives, would it was felt that such a suggestion entail very great hardship upo ' n persons that condition, and no attempt, therefore , was made to put it into execution. A v ari e l ly of times other en in ld sug gestions have been made at various with the administration of justice „ with a view to connected put a stop to this very serious offence object, and in theoffenee ; but none of them appear l ikely to effect meantime it is to be feared that the crime g oes on and that the question is steadily ;Increasing, be coming Qne of very considerable importance. The brushwood covering one of the hills over the town. of :Toulon took fire on the 2.2 d inst., and continued burning for sixty hours. It preened the appearance dur ing the night of an ocean on fixe. The inhabitants of the neighbouring villages hastened to the spot to preven t th fire from extending to a valuable wood. This was effects without any great injury, except to a vast number of foxes who were dislodged from their earth and ran howling pi e ously into the plain. The Smoke Was so dense that the monastery of Notre Dame de la Garde, s ituated at the top of the mountain, was not visible.
