Ll THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1861. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-IThis Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) His Honour was the only sitting magistrate this day. He will be relieved in attending by the return of Mr. Com missioner Goulbourn. The cases have been lately merely pro forma, or have been adjourned until after the return of the Commissioners after the holidays. Such adjournments will no doubt lead to discussions under the new act, the Commissioners taking their holidays at their own pleasure, leaving bankrupts powerless. PROPHECIES FOR THE ST. LEGER. The following are the prophecies of the London weekly sporting journals for the above important race : BEICDN, in Bell's ET'I'LED RUM has nothing to fear from the best of his opponents, which I expect will prove to be Aurelian and Lady Ripon.. RHYMING RICHARD, in Bell's Life— " Brown Stout has too frothy a title, I fear ; I'm not his sup-porter—he is but small beer. Dictator a race horse appeared to my sight, But those nice penny papers have set me right; Cease, angry layers, your spleen and spite, Our victory's written in black and white. To the very fore-front a chesnut springs, The zest,of the struggle has given him wings ; He passes Kildonan with flying feet, He challenges Janus, and Janus is beat. And Kettledrum wins"---" Hold, not so fast," Lady Doncaster cries—" I have found him at last I" " Yes, ma'am, to the front a bright chesnut springs, And conquering Newminster lends him his wings; He passes Kildonan with flying feet, He chagenges Janus, and Janus is beat— A chesnat it is, in whose honour they raise That deafening storm of loud-mouthed praise; But that chesnut, unless our old eyes betray us, Is not your Kettledrum, but—IMAUS I" ORANGE BLOSSOM, in Bell's Life — The Roe heads the race, and Kildonan is near, But Kettledrum comes like a flash from the rear, And tears to the front—let them catch him who can— As they pass the Red House he's three lengths in the van, " The crack in a canter—a trot—any how I" No, stop I he is tiring I they're reaching him now ; See I Snowden is riding him! Lancashire's dumb, By Jove, he is beat I it's all up with " the Drum I" Kildonan has caught him, has passed him, he's done, But ere Benhams can triumph the race must be won. For again and again rings a Middleham shout, As, pricking her ears, Lady Ripon comes out. Again it re-echoes that thunder-born roar, As Imaus and Edwards rush up to the fore. Neck and neck, stride for strib, running close to the rails, Now the "Market," now Yorkshire, now Berkshire pre vails— They pass, and the discord convulses the air, Was't Imaus, Kildonan, or was it the mare ? A cheer for the winner is borne wide and far ; If my spectacles serve me, that winner's—TOM PARR. TOUCHSTONE, in the Era—Should a surprise be again in store for us, it is to such a horse as Dictator we must look to, or even the dickey Big Ben if he reached the post ; but we have no idea of such a catastrophe (for the gentlemen) happening as the victory of such rank outsiders as Sauce box, Gamester, and Imperieuse; and shall look for the Judge to perform on three horses somewhat in this style : KETTLE DRUM KILDONAN 2 AURELIAN THE STABLE MOUSE, in the Era.—Kettledrum, by Rataplan, out of Mincemeat's dam. The nobler school ven ture Ito declare that, "if not got at already, he would be." But notwithstanding, sir, these raven croaks of ill omen, Kettledrum's opponents could not throw him back in the betting. The odds—that thermometer of the state of his health, and probable issue of the race—have remained as steady as time itself, and as there can be but one opinion that if well at the post, and bar accident—l always bar accident, Mr. Editor—KETTLEDRUM must win. OBSERVER, in the Field.—My firm belief is, that we shall see KETTLEDRUM the winner, and Aurelian the only, animal disputing the premiership with him. BREVITY, in the Weekly Times.—My decided preference is for KETTLEDRUM, while for a place Kildonan and Lady Ripon look good investments. THE SPHINX, in the Sunday Times:— Now round the bend, the Red House they draw near, The Drum is tight, not to be beaten here. Sae for the straight—they come—there are but two— My own, and just another I can view. They're at the stand, I see them close to me ; Ah 1 now I can predict the one, two, three, They've done it I—KETTLEDRUM has won the day, And from the next (Kildonan) runs away I Another writer in the Suriday Times gives the following as the correct card : The St. Leger Stakes of 25 sovs each, for three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b ; the owner of the second horse to receive 100 sovs out of the stakes ; the winner to pay 100 sovs towards expenses, 25 soya to the judge, and 25 soya to the starter.

Au au n, in Sporting Life.—Brown Stout has been made the object of demonstrations, and counter demonstrations, rising in the betting as suddenly as a rocket, and coming down almost as rapidly, but again returning to a shorter price than ever in the course of the last four and twenty hours. John Scott, great as he is in working wonders, can hardly metamorphose the Selling plater into a Leger win ner, besides which, the market operations have been so pecu liar, "that it would be like "robbing a poor man of his beer" to advise an investment upon him. I can see nothing to beat KETTLEDRUM, the only other animal, in my opinion, fit to wipe the dust from his feet being AURELIAN, and this pair will, I anticipate, finish first and second. But if anything should be amiss or happen to the favourite, they may have their positions reversed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. FROM TILE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG. 27.

THE MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY NEAR MOTHERWELL. —There seems to be little doubt now but that Mr, W. G. Simpson, whose suspected murder near Motherwell has caused a great deal of excitement and a great deal of search ing for his b o dy, h as ta k en hi mself off voluntar il y , a nd is probably at this moment chuckling over the idle uproar he has raised. An investigation of his financial affairs since his departure serves to justify this conclusion, IN RE ANDREWS. The bankrupt was described as of Crutched Friars, wine and spirit merchant, and to-day came up and passed his accounts by Mr. George Butler, and a day was named for the certificate meeting. IN RE BOREIIAM. This bankrupt was described as of Russell-square, plumber. Mr. Pook appeared for the bankrupt, who passed. IN RE H. COOPER. This bankrupt was described as a tailor, of Southampton, and came up for his certificate. _ His Honour granted a certificate of the second class. POLICE 11VTELLIGB4VC.E.—( This Day.) BOW-STREET. Samuel Cook, lately keeper of the Commissaire Barracks, Exchange-court, was placed at the bar on a charge of em bezzling the funds of the corps. The prisoner was apprehended on a warrant issued on the information of Sergeant-Major Platt and Sergeant Joseph Murphy, charging him with embezzling several sums of money received on, and for the benefit of, the corps. The evidence of the men was to the effect that Sergeant •Major Platt being about to take his holiday he made out a book, in which it would have been the duty of the prisoner to make all entries of moneys re ceived on the part of the corps. Between the 21st and 29th of July several sums were received by the prisoner, but had not been entered in the book. On the 29th of July, when Platt returned from Ramsgate, the prisoner absconded. The prisoner denied the charge. He said when Captain Walter appointed him to the office of barrack-keeper he gave him £lO, and told him to take whatever other money he required from the money he might receive. He had a statement made out ready for Captain Walter's inspection. Mr. Henry—But what have you to say to absconding from the barracks ? Cook—l did not abscond. Sergeant-Major Platt—You left on the 29th of August without giving the slightest notice, and left the uniform you had worn. Before I went to Ramsgate I made out a book and delivered it to him. I told him to enter all receipts on one side, and disbursements on the other. When I returned I found that notwithstanding he had received several sums of money, nothing had been entered; in fact I found the book precisely as I left it. Prisoner—l say I did not abscond ; I was in the barracks up to eleven o'clock. I left a memoranda of all moneys I received. Platt—l could find nothing of the sort. Prisoner—l have a statement made out ready for the in spection of Captain Walter; it amounts to nearly £3O, so there will be a balance in my favour. The difference be tween us only amounts to a debt. Sergeant-Major Platt—Captain Walter's account is quite distinct from the barrack and the general account. The prisoner was directed to receive all moneys I should have received had I been on duty. He has received several sums which he has not account- d for. Murphy, a sergeant in the corps, said—l paid the pri soner during the absence of Sergeant-Major Platt several sums of money. One was £1 55., another £2 10s., received for delivering circulars, and £1 ss. received from a man as an entrance fee to the corps. Neither of these sums of money had been accounted for. Mr. Henry said it would be necessary for Capt. Walter to be in attendance, and for that purpose he would remand the prisoner until Friday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CASHIER.—Edwin Walters, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Sewall and Cross, silkmercers, Compton-street, Soho, was brought before Mr. Beadon, in custody of Sergeant Joy, 9 C, by tfi rone L y iv re er c p ei o v o ed on account of the charged with em bez whom zl n h g e s e w v a e s r a b brought rsouuhms of firm. From the evidence it appears that it was the prisoner's duty to receive money for the firm from the porters, shop men, &c., and the next day hand it over. He failed in doing so, and absconded, and Sergeant Joy having caused a photograph to be forwarded to the different stations, the prisoner was taken into custody at Liverpool, from which place he was brought by the sergeant, to whom he stated that he had taken the money, but had been taken by a girl to Canterbury, and then drugged and robbed. He had also tried to enlist, bat had been refused, and then made his way to Liverpool. It was stated that the prisoner's defalcations were about He was remanded at the request of the sergeant.

The business done on the Yorkshire Handicap was not to a large extent, for there are not many books opened for it. Voltella was in most request, and the next in demand was the Intimidation colt. Asteroid was much inquired after, but Bto 1 was declined. There were, also, offers to take 10 to 1 about Chere Amie for the same event.—The favourities for the St. Leger exhibit little change, as 5 to 4 was taken and offered against Kettledrum, but towards the close 6 to 4 was the lowest taking price. Lady Ripon, Aureiari, and Kildonan were very firm, while Imaus re ceded to 100 to 6, but a few turns at that price appeared to engender caution. Brown Stout found sufficient employ ment for the afternoon, and having receded to 100 to 1 (laid and offered), he then gradually advanced, and the last we heard of him was an offer to take 1,200 to 100.—The Marquis would have been backed for the Champagne Stakes, but the party who wished to operate declined to back him against the field.

The course was from the famous Bridge of Luehana to Bilbao, a distance of four and a half Eng lish miles. Prizes were offered for six-oar and four-oar boats; for the six-bars two boats entered, manned by the hardy boatmen of t'ie coast, and the race was well con tested, but was won easily by the boat of Don Alejandro Rodriguez, the well-known Alcalde of Deusto, the distance being rowed in exactly 30 minutes. For the four-ear con test four boats appeared in the lists, among which was conspicuous a smart English gig belonging to her Britannic Majesty's Consul, and rowed by English gentlemen; the other three boats bore evidence of foreign construction, but the vast muscular strength of the Basque boatmen who manned them more than counterbalanced the slight advan tage the English crew possessed in their boat. The race was against time—the boats being started at two minutes' in tervals—and was won, after a clipping struggle, by the British crew, who, in spite of their boat having shipped several sees when meeting two steamers, and the most de termined pulling on the part of their opponents, succeeded in landing the British colours victorious, winning the race by 30 seconds. The distance of 4i miles was 4 rowed in 37 minutes. The betting was 3to 1 against the English crew at starting, and the result, except to the sons of Albion, created great surprise. The Bank of England bullion is now £517,119 in excess of the highest point previously touched this year, but is still about £1,250,000 below the average amount held during the last 14 years. 89 91 11 II FRUIT.

I shall be delighted to resume the con troversy as soon as I return from a month's absence on the Continent, which I commence to-morrow. Had Mr. Crawford's motion been carried, I should in the ensuing session have brought the subject, illustrated by the reported evidence, before the house, for its consideration, with a view to action. The accident of an adverse division on the re port will not detract from the confidence with which I shall continue my opposition to the present law of income-tax. With what success I may do so must depend on the repre sentatives of the people and on their constituents." CAWNPORE, Aug. 2.—The great famine in the Ncrth-West has been succeeded by cholera. The disease passed through the city here, but left us a month ago. As it reached the famine districts it increased in virulence, and carried off some officers at Agra, Morar, and Meerut. At the latter place it is, they say, very bad. THE COLLECTION OF RAGS Z _ENGLAND. The Parliamentary report on the various points connected with the export duty n rags, which the House of Com mons just before risin: ordered to be printed, has been given to the world, and contains a great mass of most curious and valuab evidence respecting the condition of the paper manufacture. The 20 gentlemen summoned as witnesses before the committee, who were either eminent paper manu facturers, or persons officially connected with the Board of Trade, or mercantile agents whose special business had fur nished them with peculiar opportunities for understanding the bearings of both the English and foreign paper trade, or, as in the case of the secretary to the Association for Pro moting the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge, long con versant with all matters relating to the probable supply of paper consequent on the repeal, have contributed, by their joint evidence, the materials for a blue-book greatly exceed • ing in interest the average of the bulky tomes in which are embodied the questionings of our senators on the financial matters brought before them. Many topics directly bearing on the progress of our civilisation have a strong light shed upon them from the answers to these Parliamentary in quiries. We shall frequently have occasion to return to this subject, but at present we propose restricting ourselves to a brief summary of that portion of the evidence which bears on the collection of rags in England, as compared with the greater or less completeness of the system of rag collecting in other countries. On this point—the collection of rags—Mr. Thomas Wrigley, of Bury, in Lancashire, a merchant exclusively engaged in the paper trade, states that, in his opinion the collection of rags is as complete as, under the circum stances, it can be, but he immediately qualifies this avow mint by the further statement that, whilst believing that there exists no lapse or defect as regards the collection, he thinks it possible that there may be a great deal of rags in the country which are not saved. The rags actually saved up are collected, but there is a great loss in people not sav ing and preserving them. He considers that there is a very large quantity of rags lost, wasted, or destroyed ; he de clares, in fact, that he knows of the existence, among all classes, of a great deal of improvidence in the matter, though he does not see any means of preventing it him self. In answer to the question, whether, if a higher price were offered for rags, much that is now wasted or destroyed would not be preserved, Mr. Wrigley state I that he did not think it would have any practical effect whatever ; and this for the following rea sons : —The price which the rag-collector at present gives to the housekeeper is so very small that any advance which could be offered, compatible with a reasonable price for paper, would have no appreciable value with the house keeper. He is, therefore, decidedly of opinion that if any thing in this direction is to be done, if anything like a greater tendency to save rags is to be effected, it must be done rather as a matter of duty than as a matter of pecu niary interest by those who save the rags. The rag trade, as at present constituted, is in its first stage ; a mere barter trade; a thing carried on between the wives and chil dren of the labouring puor and the rag-collector ; a trade in which toys and toffey, and crockery, and things of that sort, are bartered for old rags, so that there is no tell ing the amount of the price given for them in a great many cases. In his second examination Mr. Wrigley again expressed his conviction that the high price of rags was not owing to the imperfect collection but to the deficient saving of rags, and that the evil really, or at least chiefly, lies in the neglect and waste, as regards this mat ter, of domestic establishments generally. The evidence of Mr. Henry Bruce, paper-maker, at Kin leath, near Edinburgh, contradicts more in appearance than in reality Mr. "Wrigley's statement that the collection of rags in this country is as perfect as it can be. Mr. Bruce, when asked whether the populations of France and Belgium, in proportion to their number, did not manufacture more rags than the population of England, replied that he did not think so many, but that they were better collected, owing to labour being so much cheaper abroad than in England. What is a consideration to a Belgian or a French peasant would be but a very trifling remuneration to an English labourer. Mr. Bruce's conclusion deduced from these facts, that there is at present a waste of rags from which paper could be manufactured in England owing to the high price of labour, and the high price that would be incurred by a more com plete system of collection—conclusions modified by the statement that by no means which the papermaker can em ploy is he able to save the material from being wasted— differed, we repeat, little in substance from Mr. Wrigley's evidence. Mr. Thomas Harris Saunders, papermaker, at Dartford, in Kent, in answer to the general question, Whether there is any raw material wasted in this country, so that rags are not sufficiently collected, is inclined to say, Certainly not ; as a rule, the rags are always better collected in large towns and cities, for the obvious reason that in sparsely populated districts the picking up of rags in small quantities does not pay. Mr. Saunders mentions that in his district the mode of collection is the same as that referred to by Mr. Wrigley, that the rags are collected generally by people who go about from house to house, and that they are then taken to the marine-store dealers. On the question whether the paper manufacturers in France and other continental countries are in a better posi tion with respect to the collection of rags than paper-makers in England, the evidence of Mr. John Evans, a partner in the firm of John Dickinson and Co., of Nash Mills, Hemel Hampstead, Herts, is directly opposed to that already given, which attributes a greater superiority in the conti nental system of collecting rags, owing to the low price of labour. Mr. Evans states that, both from what he has seen in France, and from what he has gathered from Frenchmen, he is led to believe that the alleged superiority does not exist. The prices paid by Frenchmen for the collection are small, and therefore there is not the same encouragement to collect them ; and, in the second place, the system of chiffonniers, of which so much has been said by the praisers of the French system, is only carried out in two or three arge towns, the consequence being that a large quantity of rags remains uncollected in country places. Mt. Collet Dobson Collet takes, as might be expected from the secretary to the Association for the repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge, a much brighter view than most of the other witnesses of the prospects of the rag supply in con nection with the paper trade. He considers that the supply of rags to be obtained in this country is capable of very im portant increase, and quotes for this opinion the authority of Mr. Baldwin, of Birmingham, who on ene occasion made a special inquiry into the number of families who saved their rags for the paper-makers, and who found that out of 100 families there were only 40 who did so. He maintains, in consequence, that the quantity of rags to be obtained in England is a mere question of trouble and of price— of price, as determining the interest which people have in collecting rags. At the present time, Mr. Collet remarks, when the working classes of this country are very badly off, their children look to the rag-collector to supply them with toys. If the working classes were well off, the chil dren would look to their parents instead. With reference to the statement made on Mr. Baldwin's authority that 60 per cent. of the rags produced it. this country are alto gether lost for paper-making purposes, Mr. Collet was re quested by the committee to suggest some means for econo mising the collection of rags, and for saving this great waste. He thought, however, that it would be rather an imperti nence on his part to suggest any such means, having no doubt that if the paper trade wanted rags they would get them ; if they really were suffering from a scarcity means would be taken to obtain them ; if the means were not taken there could be no great scarcity in rags. If implicit reliance might be placed upon Mr. Collet's statement, that at present only 40 per cent. of the rags in the country are saved for mercantile purposes, the question of our dependence on foreign rags would be very easily settled. We are told by Mr. Wrigley that the deficiency of material required for the consumption of paper. makers in this country amounts to about 22 or 23 per cent. ; that last year we purchased abroad 16,000 tons of rags, our consump tion being about 70,000 tons of standard material, which we consume for white paper ; the deficiency is therefore nearly 23 per cent. It ought to be borne in mind that in speaking of 70,000 tons of " standard material," Mr. Wrigley felt the necessity of having some standard in his own mind, from the great varieties in quality, and he there fore put the standard material as one of the higher classes, requiring one ton and a third of rags to make one out of paper. The coot of other materials is valued in reference to this standard. But taking this valuation it still appears that whilst the actual deficiency to be supplied by foreign rags amounts to 23 per cent., the quantity of available native rags might, assuming the accuracy of Mr. Collet's evidence, be more than doubled.

In an initiatory article on" Old and Remarkable Trees in Scotland" Mr. Cosmo Innes makes the fol lowing intei esting observations in regard to the ancient " forests" of Scotland : "It is the common—it may be said the universal —opinion among our country men, that of old, but still within the period of history, Scotland was a wooded country. The sylva Caledonia vastissima, with its population of bears and cattle, may now be considered a myth, as old, to be sure, as Pliny, who liked to place his marvels in inaccessible situations. With later authors the difficulty has been where to find map room for this boundless forest. Tradition points to vestiges of it in the Torwood, near Stir ling, and to the fine oaks remaining on the heights ' of Cadyow, but nobody had ever seen it in actual growth and vigour. Not even Boece and his band of ready authorities pretend that in their day there was any great breadth of wood in Scotland. " All evidence of record is against the myth. Several things incidentally concur to prove the scarcity of wood — e. g., the extraordinary care , i n the earliest charters, in giving and reserving right to a small use of timber for fuel ; tbe use of foreign timber when required for any great building (Arbroath Abbey was built of Norway wood) ; both bow-staves and spear-shafts were always imported, the long straight timber not being procurable at home. It may be doubted whether even the geolo gist, who despises the little period of humab history, finds evidence of continuous wood in any district of Scotland. Tne trees found in peat mosses, for the most part few and small, and confined to a narrow space are surely very far from proving that large tracts of country were covered with close forests. " One source of the common error is the change of meaning of our word forest.' This could be proved by innumerable records. loresta, signifying in early charter language chase or range for game, with peculiar privileges, did not imply a wooded district at all ; and an old bunting baron or jolly abbot who loved a fat deer and got his green pas tures and hills erected into a tree forest, which gave him the right to punish the slayers of deer with the utmost penalties of the old Norman law, would have been much disgusted if it had been proposed to plant his chase from side to side. Now, however, the occurrence of the word forest' in charters of land all over Scotland—in the wilds of Rannoch and the bare hills of the Ettric border—is held to prove that the heather and gray lichen—nay, the very granite tops of Breadalbane, as well as the green braes of Yarrow, were once a close dark wood. It seems that the result of a full examination of written evidence, with the proof afforded by the appearance of the ground, would be that our coun try, as to natural wood, was never very different from its present state. There are, and always have been, districts more or less willing to send up a native growth of timber. We have now, as we always had, in the glens of Mar—in the great valley of Glenmore, Abernethy, Rothiemurchus, and that part of Speyside—a very interesting and, I believe, aboriginal pine forest of pinus sylvestris (Scotch fir), no matter whether living to its natural term or meeting with a violent death, still repro ducing itself if not impeded, and, indeed, sur mounting many impediments, and stretching up— not, d's vainly imagined, to the tops of the moun tains, but as high up the glen as wood can ever have grown—as high as soil and climate will allow. In that beautiful valley, where the Chisholms and the Frasers divide the land, it is quite within memory that a pine forest existed, so extensive and so dif ficult of access that the poor cottars of the glen were allowed and encouraged to pay their rents by cutting down as much as they could carry on horseback, End selling it in the market of Inver ness. Similar fir forests existed within memory in Glenmoriston and on one side of Loch Arkeg, i n Lochiel. To a passenger, a sportsman, a natu ralist, or a mere idler or tourist, trying to steer his way through those firforests of Spey, and Dee, and Beauly, they seem interminable—they fill up the idea of the sylva Caledonia vastissima ; but when the bewildered wanderer gets 'out of the wood,' and studies the geography of his day's ramble, he is surprised to find so small a bit of the map de voted to them. " We shall not be far from the truth, then, in taking old historical Scotland—Scotland of the 14th and to the beginning of the 18th century— in respect of wood, to have been very much as at present; making allowance, however, for the effect of cultivation, which has curtailed it a little, and of plantation, which has immensely increased its quality, especially of the last century. Speak ing generally, of old the levels were either cul tivated, or bare moorland, or swamp ; the upland pastures, whether green or heathery, were bare of wood, except where the steep and rough glens, ravines, and water courses, sheltered and protected from cattle, a fringe of native wood—hazel, birch, and oak, the latter of small size." THE PROI•UCE 211AREETS. (From the Weekly Circular of Joseph Travers and Sons.) The Produce Markets this week have again exhibited an improved tone. TEA.—The attention of the trade has been fully occupied the week with the samples of green, ex " Glencoe," a large portion of which have been sold privately, and realised ex treme prices; the remainder are advertised for public sale on the 17th, together with other descriptions. The market continues very steady for mo t kinds, and Congous from Ildtois 3d may be quoted dearer. A. telegram from China and Japan, in anticipation of the mail, arrived on the 12th instant, but contains no news of interest. New season Kaisows may be looked for about the end of the month. COFFEE—The public sales have been small, comprising only a few parcels of fine East India and Costa Rica, all of which realised full value; privately, the market is very firm, though not much business has been transacted. The quantity offering is very limited. The result of the Dutch sale on Wednesday next is awaited with much interest, and will materially influence our market, as several large car goes of various descriptions are in course of landing, and some large parcels are advertised for sale. Native Cey lon, of fair ordinary quality, has been sold at 665. SUGAR (Raw).—A very good demand exists for al classes, refiners being the principal operators. No change in quotations can be noticed ; but towards the close of the week prices are rather firmer. The value of an article is that which it will realise, or the price that the consumer, or we will say the buyer, will give for it; it is the buyer that establishes the value, and the relation of value, amongst different qualities of the same article, giving more or less for one quality, &c., than another, as it seems more or less fit for his purpose. Sugar being valued at prices which include the duty, the buyer takes them according to their abstract value, at rates which include the duty. MURDER BY A BOY IN FRANCE.—A lad named Dalbia, little more than 16 years of age, was tried last week by the Court of Assizes for the Haute-Loire for causing the death of a companion named Vissac by stabbing him with a knife during a foolish quarrel, in which the first provoca tion seems to have been given by Vissac. The prisoner protested that he had only used the knife in self-defence. The jury, having found him guilty of wounding without intention to kill, the court sentenced him to fi ve years ' im- prisonment. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—We regret to re cord the death of Mr. Cheape, of Strathtyrun, under the followin ,, mournful circumstances. The deceased gentle man, who possessed a large estate in Fife, being at the New Club in Edinburgh, retired in perfect health at his usual hour. He had an unfortunate habit of reading in bed, and having fallen asleep, it is believed that the cur tains, catching fire, fell on his face ; whi h was frightfully scorched. It appears that he had brought water from some of the neighbouring rooms, and at last succeeded in extin guishing the flames, but not before his hands and thighs were hopelessly burnt. Instead of rousing the house, Mr. Cheape crept to an empty bedroom near, and lay for seve ral hours in torture, till the servants of the club found him in the morning. This was the more remarkable, as the sufferer himself had great skill in medicine, and often at tended on others in similar suffering. He became blind and delirious during the few hours that he survived, and was attended by his brother, who now inherits the beauti ful property of Strathtyrun, near St. Andrew's. This sad event is a fearful warning to those who indulge in the habit of reading in bed, so dangerous not only to them selves, but also to all who are unfortunate enough to live in the same house, and thus to be hourly in danger of a similar tragical end. The first sod of the Eccles and Wigan Railway was cut on Wednesday by the Earl of Ellesmere. This railway is intended to connect Manchester, Patricroft, and the North l Union Railway with Wigan by a route about three miles shorter than the present ling to Wigan. It is expected that the line will be finished in 1863. The sod wass turned day's with the usual ceremony, and a dinner concluded the proceedings. S a t.
