A COOL DUTCHMAN.—A cunning old Dutchman was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature some years ago, from county. On one occasion he promised a lobby-member to vote for a certain local measure, but when the measure came up he voted against it, and it was lost. The lobby-member came to him in great wrath, and the following colloquy ensued :—" Sir, you promised to vote for my bill." " Yell," said the Dutch member, " Yell, vat if I did ?" " Well, sir, you voted against it." " Yell, vat if I did ?" " Well, sir, you lied I" " Yell, vat if I did ? " was the cool reply. WALL-PAINTINGS IN THE PEERS' ROBING Room.

They found a large portion of it occupied by a platform, which, unless reduced in size, or made partly moveable on hinges or otherwise, would render the use of the room for committees impossible. They were informed by Mr. Herbert that the painting on which he is engaged will not be completed before this t ime next year ; but as the work appeared to be considerably advanced they trust that it may be finished sooner. As it is only the first of the eight agreed for, the occupation of the apartments by the House must be indefinitely postponed unless the execu tion of the others is given up, or some arrangement can be made for its use during the progress of the work. The committee represented to Mr. Herbert that the room would only be required for at most four days in the week, from about the middle of February to the end of July, and never before 12 o'clock or after 5 o'clock, and that his wishes and convenience would be consulted as far as pos sible in giving it up to his undisturbed possession for seve ral days together, whenever he might particularly desire it. He was, however, unwilling to agree to any use of it by the house during the progress of big work. Under these circumstances the committee are unwilling to recommend to the house any course of proceeding by which the use of apartment might be obtained. They trust that during the recess question will be carefully considered by Mr. Herbert and the Arts Commission ; and that some arrangement may be come to ~ h ieh the Lords attending those committees which the robing row., designed to accommodate may be relieved from the grievous ineu--,o n i., VAN tO wl is they bays gow boo; so long subjected."

The new wheats on offer were mostly of very good quality. Spring corn was scarce, and realised previous rates. The flour trade was steady for all good and flue marks. On the Continent, produce has changed hands slowly, on former terms ; but advices from the United States men tion an upward movement in the value of both wheat and flour. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English produce were considerably on the increase. From abroad we received 49,082 quarters of wheat ; 1,000 of barley ; 44,184 of oats; 1,50, beans; 1,633, peas; 5,029, linseed; 8,748, oil seed ; 4,530, maize ; 30, sundry seeds ; and 43,543 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was much less extensive than on Monday last, and the general quality of the samples was only middling. For both red and white qualities, however, the demand ruled slow; nevertheless, the prices obtained were about equal to those realised on this day se'nnight. We did not hear of any samples of new wheat being on the stands ; but the parcels which have come to hand since our last report have been of very good quality, and have weighed about 631bs per bushel. The show of foreignwheat was large,and buyers operated only to meet their immediate requirements. In the quota tions no change of importance took place, compared with last week. Some American, however, was taken for France at ls. advance. The business doing in cargoes afloat was less extensive, but without leading to any quotable alteration in their value. For barley we have to report a very limited sale, at about previous currencies. There were a few samples of new on offer, one of which was in very fine condition, and was held at 465. per quarter. The others were worth about 425. per quarter. The malt trade was dull, yet good and fine qualities sup ported previous rates. " Good and fine oats fairly maintained last week's currency, otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely eta- tionary prices. New qualities, grown from Canadian seed, were on sale, but were held at very high prices, viz , 345. to 365. per quarter. _ _ • - Beans were a dull inquiry, and the quotations were with difficulty supported. _ _ _ New grey peas were on offer, and commanded 425. per quarter. Old qualities were much neglected at almost nomi nal currencies. Fine marks of flour were steady in price and in fair de mand. Inferior qualities, however, were a dull inquiry on former terms.

The arrivals of beasts fret h up from our own grazing districts were somewhat extensive, and, for the most part, in fair average condition. Although the attendance of buyers was large, all kinds of beasts moved off slowly, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. A few very superior Scots realised 4s 10d, but the general top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. About 2,000 short horns, crosses, &c., came to hand from Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire ; 900 various breeds from other parts of England ; 180 Scots and crosses from Scotland; and 200 oxen and heifers from Ireland. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep as to num ber; but, at least, a moiety of them were in comparatively poor condition. Some Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full quotations—a few of the former having realised 5s 6d per 8113 s; otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state on former terms. _ _ Lambs met a dull inquiry, at further depressed rates— viz., from 4s 10d to 5s 8d per 81bs. The supply was tole rably good. There was a slow inquiry for calves, at Thursday's de fine in the quotations. _ The pork trade was heavy; nevertheless, prices were supported. s. d. s. d.

Accounts from the plantations report somewhat favour ably of the crop on the whole, more especially in Mid Kent. Some districts, however, promise a very unsatisfactory yield. The business doing in all kinds of hops is very limited, and prices rule to some extent nominal. The duty is estimated at from £llO,OOO to £120,000. Last week's imports in London were 455 bales, wholly from New York. Mid and East Kent pockets 90s to 210 s per cwt. Weald s Sussex Yearlings l2os 210 s ~ BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. The supply of home-grown potatoes on sale here is moderately good, but the imports of foreign since our last have been confined to a few small parcels. Generally speaking, the trade is in a sluggish state, and prices have a drooping tendency. Shaws are quoted at 50s to 70s, and Regents 75s to 100 s per ton. The crops is very favourably spoken of in nearly all parts of Great Britain, and in Ire land we understand that it will probably be a very abun dant one. WOOL.

As it is but about fourteen miles, along level ground by the sea-coast, we may hope the contractors will not be long about it. We want just such purely country spots accessible by railway, and on the coast. And we feel quite confident that Hunstanton, with its beautiful cliffs, pleasing coun try around, old baronial hall, and fine bracing air, will soon become a favourite summer and autumn resort of Londoners who prefer a quiet as well as a very healthy sea-side. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW. '..STREET. ANOTHER POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—William Pearce, a letter-carrier (the eighth within a very short time), was placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter, the pro perty of the Postmaster. General. Bingham, one of the police officers attached to the Post office, said he went to the residence of the prisoner in Ber mondsey, and found him sitting in the back parlour. On perceiving the officer, Pearce took off his official coat, and threw it doss n on the bed and ran away. Saree, another officer, said he found the coat belonging to prisoner. In the pocket was a cover of a letter directed to " Miss Vard on, Foots Cray, Kent," and four other let ters. He afterwards went to Mortlake, and there received information that the prisoner was living at Richmond. He went there and apprehended him. On searching his lodgings a quantity of clothing and articles were found of a very suspicious nature. A letter-carrier named Wright (who was committed for trial from this court on Saturday) lodged with him, and on Pearce being asked to explain how be became possessed of the property ho said it all belonged to Wright, and that he knew nothing about it. Thomas Harris, inspector of letter-carriers said the letter from Oxford-street would arrive at the South Eastern Dis trict Office for sorting at about quarter to one. The pri soner was on duty at that time at the office, and a portion of his duty was to sort the letters. The letter in question ought to have been placed amongst the Woolwich. Louisa Manders said she resided ac 29, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, and on the 27th July she enclosed a gilt chain in a letter and addressed it to Miss Varden, a lady residing at Foot's Cray, Kent. The daughter of the last witness proved the posting of the letter at the receiving-house in Oxford-street, kept by Mr. Cooper, about 12 o'clock the same day. The prisoner who said nothing in his defence was fully committed for trial, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT A PFIOTOGRAPIIER'S.—Mr. Wm. Pimrcs, the keeper of a photographic portrait place at 367, Oxford street, was charged, late on Saturday afternoon, with the following assault : Mrs. Catherine Anthony, the wife of a pay-sergeant of the Fusilier Guards, Wellington Barracks, said she went into the defendant's shop in Oxford-street, about 12 o'clock on Saturday, to have her portrait painted for a brooch. She did not have one painted for her brooch, but had a smaller one done, and she afterwards objected to it, when she was told that it would be all right when it was dry. She after wards returned and said she wanted her money back or a fresh portrait, and after a few words' the defendant struck her on the head, rendering her insensible, and then tore up the portrait and pushed her down stairs, and the defend ant's " doorman" also attacked her and damaged her clothes, and she felt certain that if she had not been rescued she would have lost her life, as the bones of her stays were broken. The defendant then pushed her down Oxford street, and gave her two severe blows in the mouth, loosen ing two of her teeth. Samuel Butterilt, of 10, Eagle-street, Holborn, and a witness named George Roberts, both proved seeing de fendant pushing the complainant along Oxford-street, and give her two severe blows in the mouth. Sergeant Howes, 21C, said he heard some gentlemen say the defendant's conduct was shameful. Defendant said the complainant went away well satisfied with her portrait, and afterwards came back and began " cutting away." He did give her a shove, and his band might have gone in her face. Wm. Sellman, defendant's " doorman," was called, but the only material thing he proved was that defendant did shove complainant away from the door, and that a mob collected. The Magistrate (Mr. Maude)—What is this place. Sergeant Howes—lt is a photograph shop, and every body who passes has a portrait thrust in his or her face. The magistrate said he had no doubt the defendant had used a great deal of unnecessary violence. The defendant was seen pushing the complainant violently along the streets, and there was no wonder if bystanders collected, Did he (defendant) think this was to be tolerated ? It was a gross outrage on a respectable female, and defendant had not mended his case by insinuating the complainant was in toxicated. He had no doubt done that to create a preju dice. The defendant was then fined £.5, or imprisonment in default. IRIS DAY'S SILIPPI.NCi. LONDON, Aug. s.—Wind this day at noon, South Westerly ; strong breeze, and fine weather.

TEMPLE GARDENS.—These gardens have long been celebrated for their chrysanthemums in the autumn, and at this time they are remarkable for the display of flowers usually found in bloom at this period of the year. The stocks, calceolarias, fuchias, geraniums, &c., which fill the 42 beds on the slope on the northern part of the gardens are remarkably fine. These grounds are open to the public every evening, and the denizens of London can there plea santly spend an hour or two, when time does not permit of their going to gardens at a great distance. gr. Broom has the management of the gardens, and is always ready to give the fullest information that any person interested in horticulture may desire to obtain.

The bridge which Mr. Page has undertaken to carry across the Thames at Blackfriars will be built of mixed granite and iron, but so arranged in its architectural features as to be most graceful in out line, though enormously massive in all its details. Never was such colossal proportions attempted in any bridge before, though the slight curve and enormous span of the arches give to the whole a lighter and even more graceful effect than we find in the lines of the bridge at Westminster. The design is, in fact, as much superior in simple grandeur and beauty to the New Westminster as new Westminster is superior to the ruinous old obstruction it has superseded. It will consist of only three arches, the centre one being of the span of 280 ft., or 40 ft. wider than the centre arch of the grim, funereal-looking structure at Southwark. The two side arches will be 220 feet span each, but none will have the high-shouldered look which is generally given to arches of this great width by making their rise a high one , From the spring in" of the arch to the crown will only be a rise of 20 feet, which in a span of such extent only:amounts to the most gentle curve, and, in fact, when seen from the river the outline will appear to be almost straight. The spandrills of the outer rib on each side will be closed, but filled up with figures in bas relief and rich ornamental scrollwork. The cor nice beneath the parapet is of an exceedingly bold and handsome design, with a parapet above of solid granite. The piers, however, foi:m the most massive and noble looki ng f ea t ures of the whole. These will be four in number, all of granite, and of immense size, width, and depth. Each on its extremity willbe surmounted with a column of polished red granite, for which in size and massive ness we must look for parallels among the rock hewn temples of Egypt. They will be Done columns, 40 feet in height, 23 feet in diameter at base and capital; and no less than 18 feet diameter in the column. Each of these, though built hollow, will weigh upwards of 500 tons. Their capitals will reach to the summit of the bridge, and it is intended hereafter to surmount them with colossalgroups of statuary. The whole structure will only be a few feet longer than the present bridge, but its width will be nearly double, namely, 76 feet against 42., instead There will be two footways of 14 feet wide, ins of as now two of 7. There will be two tr the of 81 each.
