MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. ...~. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market is quiet, and the rates still show a downward tendency. The Bank of Eng land directors, however, have not made any altera tion in their discount negotiations to-day. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday: The Arago, which left Liverpool yesterday for New York, took out only £3,000 in specie. The half yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele graph Company has been convened for the 30th instant. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices slightly ad vanced. The sales amounted to 20.000 bales. At a meeting to day of the creditors of Messrs. Beater, Dennant, and Russ, trading as James Cos ter, Beater, and Russ, a balance sheet was presented, giving the liabilities at £216,863, and the assets at £168,482. The position of affairs was fully ex plained by the accountant, and it was finally resolved that the estate should be liquidated under a committee of inspection. Owing to the season of the year, it is considered advisable to realise the stock at once, and for this purpose a sale will take place probably next Week. _ _ . Business in the market for Public Securities con tinues active, and the recent improvement is gene rally well maintained. Indeed, transactions have been entered into to-day at a further rise of 1 per cent., but it has not been fully supported, a few sales to realise profits having caused a reaction. Consols for transfer have been 911 f, and 91f for the account, but the latest quotations are 911 and 911 f respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced have advanced to 911 ; Bank Stock to 233 and 2341 ; India ditto is steady at 2191 and 220 ; ditto 5 per Cent. has improved to 1021 41 ditto Debentures to 971 ; and the Bonds to par. A further rise of 1 per cent. has taken place in the New Indian Loan Scrip, viz., to 1031, and it has been in great request. Foreign Securities are not quite so firm, but the dealings have been rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 791 ; ditto, 1858, 69/ 4 ; ditto £lOO Bonds have receded to 721, and Mexican to 22 ; Sardinian are firm at 791 ; Spanish steady at 49k ; and Brazilian have improved to 100. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under 1861.

On the Lancashire and Yorkshire there is a decrease of £730; on the North-Eastern of £427 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £B5 ; on the Great Western of £1,044 ; on the North Western of £2,079; and on the south-Eastern of £683. The South-Western, however, shows an increase of £1,051 ; the Brighton of £3,591 ; the Midland of £632; the Great Northern of £754; the Grand Trunk of Canada of £725; and the Great Western of Canada of £253. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of an average extent, and in sever'kl instances a further advance has taken place. North Westerns and North Easterns (Berwick), have improved ss. ; Eastern Counties, 10s. ; Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, 15s. ; and Caledonian, Brighton, Midlands, and West Midlands, £1 ; South Easterns, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolns have declined ss. to 101: The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in moderate favour, at about previous rates. Great Luxembourg realise 81 ; Dutch Rhenish 131; Bahia and San Francisco 121; and San Paulo 21; East Indian have improved to 1011 lu2; and Great Indian Peninsula realise 981 t. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flit.

From some remarks made by one of the police-magistrates, Mr. Radcliffe (the owner of the field) sought the aid of the F olioe, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon a large number of constables marched to the spot, and endeavoured to clear the fair, which was densely thronged with visitors. Shortly after this a further body of police arrived, making a total of more than 50 officers, and a scene of a most extraordinary riotous de scription took place ; although through the excellent con duct of the constables there was no actual collision. The ground, after a deal of difficulty, was cleared, and the police so placed as to prevent any one re•entering. During the evening, however, hundreds of pers , ,ns thronged to the place, until the number in the public road and vicinity of the fair could not have been less than from four to five thousand persons. For a long time the neighbourhood was ditturbed by the shouting, yelling, and other discordan noises made by the exaspereted mob who were prevented from entering the fair. THE WHEAT CROP IN CANADA.—The following is from the Hamilton Times :—" A large part of the fall wheat has been cut down during the week in this country, and from samples shown us to .day appears to be of excel lent quality. The breadth of wheat sown is not so large as last year, and though in some parts of the country the crop is light, still the yield will be fully an average one. It has not, as far as we can learn, suffered from any of those dis eases which wheat is heir to ; but where there has been a falling off, it is to be accounted for from natural causes. Accounts from nearly all parts of tho province agree in stating that the yield of wheat will be fully as good as last year, and though it is not likely to command so high a price, still our farmers have no reason to complain of the reward of their labours. A MAN FOUND DROWNED IN THE THAMES.— Shortly before seven o'clock yesterday morning, as Israel Bloomfield, belonging to the Monarch sailing vessel, of Ipswich, which had just put in near the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, was engaged on board, he discovered the body of a man floating down the Thames. He imme diately lowered a boat, and by means of a rope succeeded in drawing it to the landing steps. The discovery having been made known to ne police, a shell was procured, and the holy was removed to the Christchurch dead-house. The deceased, who was dressed in a suit of corduroy, was dread fully emaciated ; and with the exception of some coins found in his pocket, nathing could be traced to lead to his identity. He is apparently about 35 or 40 years of age, and it is sup posed that he must have been in the water two or three dargr.

The prisoner was engaged at the South-Eastern District Office, and he was charged with stealing a letter addressed to " Miss Vernon, Foots Cray, Kent," and containing a gilt chain. The letter in which the chain had been enclosed was found in the prisoner's official coat-pocket. A letter carrier named "Wright, who lodged with the prisoner, had previously been taken into custody for stealing letters, and the prisoner said the letter found in his (prisoner's) pocket was one of the letters stolen by Wright, and that he had absconded from duty beca•:se, there were so many things in the room that he thougbt he should be suspected of being implicated with Wright. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Ju,tice Blackburn said ho would pass sentence in he whole of the Post-office cases to-morrow. THIRD COURT. . (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY.

POLICE 11VTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MA RLBOII , _ UGH- STREET. AN OLD OFFENDER.-IMPUDENT STREET ROBBERY. —Edward Durkin, a young man, was charged before Mr. Yardley with attempting to steal the breast pin of Mr. James Marsh, a commercial traveller, of 45, Devonshire street, Queen's-square. Mr. Marsh said—At a quarter to ten last night I was passing along Oxford-street, and, when near a court, a crowd of persons rushed out, and the prisoner who was be hind me put his hand over my sholder and seized my breast pin. I, however, seized his hand, and before I could speak to him he said, " It's not me," but I secured him and gave him into custody. Prisoner—l was pushed by the crowd, and to save my self going through a window I caught hold of the gent. N, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1861. A QUATICS. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) CHARGE or FORGERY AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. The trial of James Roe, the clergyman, was resumed this morning. A number of letters were put in and read, at the con clusion of which Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that the prosecution had not satisfactorily established the charge against his client. The evidence adduced rather tended to prove that the cheque was signed by the testator, and therefore a genuine document. The learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the jury having returned a verdict of guilty, the prisoner was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. Peter Hollings, 34, letter•carrier, was indicted for steal ing a letter containing two gold coins the property of the Postmaster-General. The prisoner was a sorter and letter-carrier in the West Central Post-office, and in consequence of the frequent loss of letters in the prisoner's delivery a test letter was made up containing an Australian half-sovereign and a two and a half American dollar. The prisoner was apprehended a short time after the letter had left the office, and in his waistcoat pocket the two coins were found. THE ANTWERP UNION CLUB. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prisoner, said he had carefully read over the evidence, and he felt he could not struggle against the evidence. The unfortunate prisoner was a married man, and in consequence of severe domestic affliction he had yielded to temptation. He was not yet entitled to hand in a memorial to the judge, stating the whole of the circumstances, but when the jury had returned their verdict he would do so. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Sleigh then handed up to his lordship the prisoner's memorial, and sentence was postponed. Andrew Tromson, letter-carrier, 23, was indicted for stealing a letter containing half-a-sovereign and a sixi once. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Sentence delerred. John Smith, 18, letter-carrier, was indicted for stealing two letters, one containing two half-sovereigns and the other a cheque for £3 3s. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his youth. Sentence deferred. Alfred Hopkins. 1 James Chapman. Edward Carter. 1 Robert Bain, stroke, J. Hill, coxswain. OF WALES. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. Mr. Yardley—His pin, you mean ' Serge tnt Franklin, 20 E, said—l have known the pri soner for years, and saw him convicted at Epsom for a rob bery at the races. I have also seen him in crowds about the Tottenham-court-road. Mr. Yardley—Let him be remandad till Saturday. Get me the convictions, and I will send him for trial. Subsequently Mr. Yardley ordered him to be brought back, and said he would once more deal with him summa rily, and sentenced him to three months' hard labour. MORE ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—Charles Lawrence, of 2, Groves-cottages, Knightsbridge, chimney-sweep, was charged with assaulting James Waterson, 144 C, and making use of the most disgusting language. _ _ The prisoner said he was drunk, but Mr. Yardley told him that that was no excuse, and fined him 10s. or seven days. _ Frederick Austin and Walter Bell were also charged with assaulting a constable, 32 F. Austin was fined 10s. or 6 days, and Bell 20s. or 8 days. Bain's crew of Lambeth, who were so successful at the Thames Regatta last month, have been following up their good fortune by carrying off the principal prizes at Rotter dam, Hastings, and Sandgate. The Union Club of Antwerp having heard of their suc cess, invited this now celebrated crew to contest for the principal prize. Accordingly they availed themselves of the opportunity, and arrived at Antwerp on Monday morn ing. The race was fixed for Tuesday morning at half-past eleven. The Betting, until the arrival of the English crew, was in favour of the Rotterdam boat, but shortly afterwards altered to any odds on the Londoners, who were to row in the Jeanette, a boat built by Mr. Wild, the well-known boat builder of Lambeth, between nine and ten years ago- At the appointed hour three out of the seven crews entered put in an appearance. An excellent start having been effected, they kept together pretty closely for the first hundred yards, when Bain's crew began gradually to take the lead. The race from this point was never afterwards in doubt, as " John Bull" kept on his lead, and came in an easy winner by eight boats' length, amidst the loud cheers of their own countrymen, who had assembled to witness the contest. The following are the names of the crew:— From the fine condition in which the above crew have always gone to the post for their respective engagements this season there is no doubt that next year their services, in a quatic circles, will be in as much demand as the All Eleven of England are in Ciicketing. THE LOSS OF THE B 4 RQUE PRINCE The following letter from the British consul at Rio Grande has been received at Glasgow : " British Consulate, Rio Grande do Sul, June 25. " Sir,—l regret to inform you of the total loss, on the coast of Albardao, about 70 miles to the southward of this city, of a large vessel, supposed to be the barque Prince of Wales, of Glasgow, official number 26,598, Stephens and Co„ of Glas gow, owners, and bound from Glasgow to Buenos Ayres with a general cargo, chiefly coals and earthenware. lam pained to say that all the per sons who were on board this unfortunate vessel have perished, ten bodies having been found, in cluding those of a female and a young girl. Nothing to lead to the identity of those bodies could be dis covered, all having been plundered ; but having immediately upon hearing of the wreck, proce e d e d to the locality, I found on the coast a brass plate which had belonged to a trunk, with the name thereon, ' John M'liinnon, Whitley Bay, Arran,' which I presume to be the same as John M'Kinnon, the number of whose certificate of com petency or service is 5 395, who appears, by Lloyd', List, to have been master some time since of the Prince of Wales. The proofs of identity of the vessel which I found on the coast I considered suf ficient to justify me in claiming the property as British, and in causing that the bodies recoverea should be conveyed to the cemetery for Protestants of this city, where they were decently buried in the presence of most of the British inhabitants. I have for warded to the Board of Trade a full report upon this melancholy casualty, but forward to you this information that you may reply to the inquiries of the friends of the deceased, or of those interested in the property. The ship's papers not being forth coming, I cannot enclose the certificate of British registry, which would probably be with them.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " H. P.

Prime breeds sold steadily, at full quotations ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The top price was 4s 10d per 81bs. Most breeds of shoed moved off slowly ; nevertheless late rates were quite supported, prime Downs having realised 5s 4d, in some instances 5s 6d per 81bs Lambs—the supply of which was limited—sold readily at fully the late advance in their value. Calves met a slow sale on former terms, and the supply was moderately gocd. Pigs, mulch tows, and suckling calves were in slow request, at former prices. Per Slb. to sink the offal.

CAUTION TO BRIGHTON EXCURSIONISTS On Monday, at the Town-hall, Brighton, five persons were summoned at the instance of Mr. Inspector Carpenter, charged respectively with disposing of and purchasing re turn excursionist? tickets. The offence was clearly proved in each case. Mr. Inspector Carpenter produced the tickets in question, on which was printed the folowing :—" Not transferable; any person transferring or dealing with this ticket will be prosecuted. Available only by the excursion train of this day an I for the person t) whom issued." The magistrates said the defendants must have known they were doing wrong, and as a caution to them and others the) would each have to pay the full penalty of 405., together with 12s. 6d. costs, and in default of payment to be impn coned for one month. FIRE IN LEATHER•LANE.—Last night, about nine o'clock, a fire, that at first threatened serious consequences, broke out upon some premises in the occupation of Mr. Massarente, an Italian grocer and confectioner, situate a few doors distant from Reid's well-known brewery in Leather-lane, Holb3rn, the powerful private fire-engine from whose establishment was immediately on the spot, under the superintendence of Mr. Stringer, and succeeded, although not before the first and second-floors were com pletely gutted, in extinguishing the fire, almost before the FArringdon-street and other fi e brigade engines reached the spot. At present it is not known whether the premises are insured. The engine, worked by Reid's men, was one of the most powerful order, and the men worked with un wonted vigour at the pumps, under the promise of copious supplies of beer from the brewery, as a recompense for their labour. " Am I NOT A MASON AND A BROTHER ?"--Ac cording to the Herald's American corresponent, this question seems to have been asked, to small purpose, on the race-course of Bull's Run. A Master Mason, floored, made " the sign of distress," but a brother with a bayonet declined to recognise the intimation, and incontinently dis missed the other " from labour to repose." Probably this would not have happened under the presidentship of " the judicious Tyler." Brother Punch would like to kni,w whether the immuthties of the Order of the Gridiron ex tend to civil broils /—.Ptench. A NOVEL Fox HuNT.—On Wednesday last a rat her novel fox hunt took place on the line of railway be twist Cumnock and Muirkirk. As the evening passenger train was approaching the farm -steading of Wellwood, the engine-driver saw a fine large dog fox on the line right ahead of him. He thought he would like a little sport, and putting on some extra staam he gradually gained on the vermin, which ran gamely till fairly run over. the wheels dividing him in two. A. few yards further on a hare was also run over, and it is very probable that Reynard was victimised. Vuilo iu purbtut t,t " THIS DAY'S SAIPPING.

At the Central Criminal Court, this day, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, Peter Masterson, aged 22, was indicted for the wilful murder of Martin Murphy, a sergeant in the same corps, stationed pt Woolwich. The prisoner, who treated the case with perfect indiffer ence, pleaded not guilty. The facts connected with the case have been fully re ported. The prisoner, being a deserter, had been placed in confinement, and in the guard. room seized an iron bar and ir.flictul injuries on the head of the deceased, his supe • rior officer, from the effects of which he died. At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution, Mr. Metcalfe addressed the j iry on behalf of the prisoner, so as to reduce the clime to that of manslaughter. The learned judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder with a recommendation to mercy. The learned Judge then assuming the black cap, in solemn form passed the sentence of death, intimating he could hold out no hopes of mercy, but would send the re commendation to the proper quarter. The prisoner bowed, smiled, and left the dock, and will be taken back to Maidstone to-night. BA \A OF LIVGLAND.

THE SUPPLY OF COT TON. In the sixth department of the Association for the Pro motion of Social Science, on Tuesday, Mr. T. Bazley read a paper on colt na. He said—ln the la , t few centuries ap prehenslons had been entertained that the soil of Br tain was unequal t ) the support of a continually increasing po pulation, and in the reign of Queen Elizabeth restrictions to the increase of dwellings were attempted to be enforced. Improvement in agriculture, nevertheless, greatly relieved the pressing necessity for the imported supplies of food, and upon the whole to the commenc•iment of the present century home produce supplied increasing wants; but in the reign of George the Third the agricultural products were inadequate to afford abundance to the greatly en larged population. The landed proprietors were aware of this fact, and being pressed by heavy taxation, resulting from the costly continental wars, obtained from the legis lature protection for corn, under the double plea of being enabled to meet the demands of the people for food and of the national exchequer for the exigencies of the State. Under extraordinary difficulties, the system.of protection was continued to the year 1846, but then wise counsels pre vailed, and corn became essentially a free commodity of ex.. change. Food having, consequently, been provided for, and its unrestricted foreign import being permitted, increased productiveness at home of everything which could be con ' verted into exports for the payment of coming comforts in ch, dto unwonted activity. The industry engaged in the fabrication of woollen manufactures has been circumscribed by the limited production of home grown wool, and though large imports of beautifully fine wool have given a great impulse to this lnanch of business, yet neither the wants of the people in this or any other country of woollen fabrics could create a demand to employ increasing labour to the extent of its exit. tence, nor consume productions of this class to supply payment for the whole of those imports. Linen yarns and fabrics have been produced by well paid and well supplied lab ear, but this industry alone could not provide payment for the large imports poured into this country. Flax may be regarded as a foreign production as now con sumed by British manufactures, and no doubt the extent of the industry employed upon it has been limited by the de ficient, irregular, and costly supply of this raw material, great inconvenience having been sustained by capitalists and labourers from its insufficient pro , luction. Other foreign products, silks, skins, and woods, have afforded pro fitable labour to our ciinstantly increasing workpeople, but have only contributed a minor share of the payments re quired from imports. After exhausting the application of native products to manufacturing employment, it is obvious that materials, whereon to engage the skill and labour of our people, must be obtained from foreign sources. Beyond the materials referred to, cotton ha s contributed more im portantly than any other to sustain the social fabric, to promote the industrial prosperi t y of the Briti s h empire, to afford employment to the increasing population, to diffuse sun ort at home and abroad , to recompense capital and labour, to replenish an ever-craving national exchequer, and to raise the manufactu rin g (moral and intellectual) standard of the working-classes of this country to a higher eminence than has been attained in any other country. Mr. Bazley contended that with cotton there would be employment and food while without it there would be famine and expatia tion. I.IIL SITUATIO V OF FRANCE. The Universal Prussian Ga.:ate contains the f,,llowing remarkable article : " In no country in Europe has a Government made more frequent appeals to capital than in France during the last ten years. It may be said that the financial resources of the French na; on have proved so abundant that they have easily met all the demands made upon th( m. Undoubt edly, the financial system adopted by the Second Empire has given rise to many apprehensi,ns bath among the adversaries of the Imperial regime and among its friends; but their forebodings have never been realised. It is certain, since 1830, that the prosperity of France has been uniformly prog ressive. The statements of M. Horn, the po liti ca l economist, prove that fact. Whenever the Impe rial Government appeals to national subscription for a loan, the amount subscribed has always greatly exceeded the sum reqnired. Now, if certain speakers. during the discussion on the budget in the Legislative Body, protested against the qualification of inexhaustible, as applied to the resources of the country, it must be admitted that such an expression is far less misplaced than in Austria, where it is also very frequently made use of. The wealth of the Austrian Em pire is undoubtedly territorial, and requires labour to be come available. But France possesses an ever-increasing capital always at command. To all the criticism on the great expenditure of the Empire, bath for war and for in ternal improvements, it may be replied that the resources of the nation would never have been what they are but for the profound conviction of the security which the Imperial rule has given to property, and that, to attain this end, the development of the military element was necessary. Lastly, if it be alleged that war has been of no advantage to France, it is impossible to deny the advantages she has derived from free-trade, the really great conquest of the Second Empire. Henceforth a ide field is offered to French commerce , which is further extended by new mari t i m e communication. We may add that, as re' lines of gar ds taxes, the portion each individual has t) contri bute to the general burden does not exceed 34f. 23c. If the population has proportionat e ly diminished, the average length of life has increased ; and, besides, an excessively in digent population has never contributed to the prosperity of a nation. The last tables of criminal statistics show that the Luulter of mime, has been gradually decreasing for lora years past* - GENERAL CIALDINI. M. Petrucelli della Gattina, a well-known mem ber of the Italian Parliatbent, supplies to the Presse an interesting biographical sketch of Gen. Cialdini: —" General Cialdini has undertaken a difficult task —to carry on the Dictatorship with kid gloves, and tosucceed notwithstanding. He is only 17 years of age and is a General in the Army'—that is to say, equal in rank to a French Marshal. All his steps have been won on the field by hard fighting. Enrico Cialdini is a Modenese. At the age of 16 he marched with General Zucchi to aid the Romagna insurrection at Bologna in 1831. After the Aus trian intervention in Central Italy he was obliged to emigrate. His father had been arrested, and was poisoned by slow doses of belladonna in the dun geons of the Duke of Modena. Cialdini went to Paris, where he studied chemistry under M. Tre nerd, and was preparing to study medicine when a proposal was made to him to go to Spain. The pro spect of a pair of epaulets tempted him. He went and took part in the war of succession, and the revo lution of 1848 found him a lieutenant-colonel in th e Spanish service. Mazzini knows where, in any pa r t of the world, an Italian of courage is to be found. He gave the name of Cialdini to the Provisional Government of Milan, which was in want of officers, and a letter from the secretary of that government found him out in Aragon. Cialdini obeyed the call, but on arriving at Milan he found the state of affairs changed. Lombardy had given herself up to King Charles Albert, and governed herself in his name: It was not the moment for hesitating ; the King had just been beaten, and Italy was about to fall once more into Vic clutches of Austria. Cialdini enrolled himself in the corps of Gen. Durando; he marched on Vicenza, and there received three wounds, sup posed at the time to be mortal. He was, therefore, for a year reduced to a state of helplessness. The fate of Italy had been decided at Novaro and Rome, and it was necessary for him to again return to Spain. Cialdini wrote to the Piedmontese Minister of War, You have more officers than you can find employment for, and as I am ashamed to be a bur den to you without doing anything, and to go on half-pay at 40, I intend resuming my post in the Spanish army. You will find me there when Italy requires my services_' The Ministerreplied by these words—' Don't go.' Then came the expedition to the Crimea. Cialdini went there with the rank of general, and at the battle of the Tchernata showed what he was worth. In 1859 Cialdini was the first in the allied army who fired a shot on the enemy, ex, mating the passage of the Sesia under the fire of the Austrians, whom he drove from their position. This corps d'armee then went into the mountains to act in the Tyrol. The peace of Villafranca checken him in his career. In 1860 he defeated the army of Lamoriciere, and gained the battle of Castelfidardo ; and in 1861 he took Gaeta in 17 days, for the 55 days which preceded the bombardment were ex pended in the construction of the necessary works. Fifteen days after Cialdini also took the citadel of Messina. He had been made a Major-General after the campaign of the Umbria, and the King nomi nated him General of the Army after Messina. Cialdini is tall, slight, and of distinguished conn tenenca. He unites the frank manners of a soldier with the urbanity of a gentleman. He does not know what hesitation means. He likes to overcome obstacles by force rather than by delay. Time, in his opinion, is so valuable that he sometimes carries rapidity to the length of imprudence. His line is a direct one, not only because it is the shortest, but the frankest, and sometimes the boldest. His life has been almost a continuous series of successes—fortune has smiled on him and circumstances have favoured him ; but nothing has made him lose that evenness of temper owing to which his brilliant career, far from creating him enemies even in the army, has given him only rivals who are friends at the same time. In Spain he has only left comrades who regret him. His famous outburst against General Garibald_ was forgotten in r a:f an hour after, and as soon as be shook hands with the General he regretted it. The Legitimist and Ultainiontene journals represent him as a sanguinary man, and vet in no civil war were se many prisoners spared, even brigands taken with arms in their hands, and whom he was entitled to shoot on the spot." TRE C in./EDI? 'L OF LLANDJEF. The following circular has been issued, dated, "Deanery, Llandaff :—Four years have now elapsed s,nce the partial reopening of the cathe dral on the 16th of April, 1857, and as the prin cipal portion of the subscriptions so liberally pro mised on that occasion towards its entire restoration has been both collected and expended, it seems but right at the present season to state the results of the movement which was then inaugurated. The once ruined section of the nave has been thoroughly re stored, its arcade and its western front repaired, its clerestory and its side aisles rebuilt, its walls plastered, its windows glazed, and a new roof thrown over its whole span. The partision wall, which so long severed it from the portion still in use for public worship, has been removed, and from the western entrance the original design of the architect is once more manifest in all its beauty. The roof of the side aisles of the eastern end has also been restored, with the exception of the two bays which extend beyond the Chapter house, and avbich are separated from the others by a small vaulted chapel. The Bishop's throne is nearly com pleted, and a portion of the stalls with the screen on one side has been erected, while contracts have been entered into foe another section of the work. The progress of restoration has, indeed, now ad vanc3d so far that only those who have actually seen the cathedral in former years can either realise its extent or picture to themselves the half-ruined condition of the fabric but a short time ago. Much, however, still remains to be done—the reconstruc tion of the roof of the two bays alluded to before, the completion of the stalls with their appro priate canopies, the permanent flooring of the western portion of the nave and of the two side aisles, the repairs of the monuments, the finishing of the parapet of the southern aisle, the provision of new doors for the great western entrance and for the two Norman doorways in the northern and southern aisles. The rebuildingof the southern tower may perhaps be looked upon as a separate work, and as one which admits of temporary delay; but it is deemed very desirable, both for the sake of appearance and for constructional reasons, that the building should be advanced another stage, so as to reach the height of the clerestory . wall. The chapter-room again, which, if not an integral por tion of the cathedral, stands to it in something like the relation of a transept, requires a considerable outlay and the entire reconstruction of its windows and its roof. For the cost of these two works no estimates have as yet been made; it has, however, been ascertained, that to finish the roof of the side aisles, to complete the parapet of the southern aisle, to lay the fib gyring, to provide doors and to finish the stalls—all works which should be imme diately undertaken and which would when accom plishei almost crown the work of restoration-- would involve an expenditure of but £1,200. But the Dean and Chapter have no funds applicable to this purpose, as the contracts already entered into will more than exhaust all the resources which they can at present anticipate, and leave indeed a debt only to b e cancelled b y fresh contributions. • An organ is being constructed by Messrs. Gray and Davison at a cost of £9OO of which have b een a l ready su b scr ibed with a readiness and gener os it y whi c h calls for grateful is. to be ready acknowledgment. Th e i nstrumen t £l,OOO, for use by the a n d o f A ugust , a nd is intended i t toeel o e f br t a h te e its erection and the fu rther restora tionhoral servic e on r o f by s a ept f e a m il ber. Where so f-a e v : much has be e n so liberal l y and so cheer fully given, it may perhaps seem importunate a e y, the 17th to ask for more, but the Dean and Chapter are well assured that there are many who feel, like themselves,a com mon interest in the work, and who will never be content until it shall have reached its last stage, and the cathedral church of Llandaff shall have regained, from tower to foundation -stones its ancient character and beauty. EXTRAORDINARY CASE Op STABBING.—Mr wii ron , edge-tool manufacturer, of Glasgow, was recently s tabbed by an apprentice, named Finlay, with a bar of red hot iron. Finlay had been working at an anvil with a bar of red-hot steel, when his master had occasion to find fault with the manner in which he was performing hie work. He gave h is employer some impertinence, and the latter gyve him a slap on the side of the head. The rash follow then made a thrust at his master's body with the bar of red-hot steel, which t )ok effect upon the fleshy part of his arm below the elbow, where the red hot bar passed through, the quick lifting of his arm by Mr. Wilson, doubt less, alone saving his life.
