A steady demand for money is experienced in the. Discount Market, which remains without the Slightest change of importance, but at the Stock Exchange there is rather more inquiry for loans chiefly connected with the settlement of the account in Consols. A large quantity of gold, viz £16e,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon in most instances, exhibited less firmness. Gold is now four-tenths per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Paris, and seven-tenths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The directors of the Midland Railway Company have determined to propose a dividend at the rate Of GI, per cent. for the past half year. A fair amo un t o f b us i ness w as re ported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices Were steady. The sales were 10,000 bales. At the meeting of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company, held this day, the directors stated that they were not in a position to recom mend a dividend on the Original Shares at present, but there is every prospect that the time is not far distant when they may be enabled to do so. The dividends on the Preference Shares will be paid as usual. The Market for Public Securities to-day has been quiet, although the transactions have been as numerous as usual, and continued firmness has pre vailed chiefly owing to the splendid weather for harvest operations. Consols are 908 for transfer, and 90 ; 1- -I for the September settlement. The New Threes „ and the Reduced have improved to 90 / 1; Bank Stock is firm at 234 and 236 ; India 5 per Cents, is 991 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are 15s. dis. ; ditto June, 4s. dis. to 1 dis. Foreign Securities show increased buoyancy, but the dealings continue limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. have advanced to 791 801 ; ditto, 1858, to 711 ; ditto £lOO Bonds to 72/ *; Mexican to 22/ 7- 4 ; Peruvian to 971 ; ditto Uribarreu to 87; ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 10081. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been to a fair extent, and prices have shown an upward movement in most instances. Cale donian, North Eastern (Berwick) e and South East ern advanced ss. ; Great Northern, 15s. ; and the A stock, 10s.; and Midland, 10s. The Foreign lines have been in increased de mand, South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian hav ing advanced to 17; Dutch Rhenish to 132-; and Recife and San Francisco to 101 d.

Account THE PRICE OF GOLD The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.36 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 1 75. Mid_ per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. _ . _ By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.8 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about -10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is Kin to 108 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. SOUTH LANCASHIRE REPRESENTATION. A large meeting of the friends of Mr. Charles Turner, the Conservative candidate for the repre sentation of South Ldncashire, was yesterday held in the Amphitheatre, at Liverpool—Mr. F. Shand in the chair. Mr. Turner's address yesterday was 'limiter in all material points to those he has lately delivered in Manchester and other towns. Mr. T urner, however, commented upon the addresses of IA • Cheetham and his supporters, stating that he c ould no t b e li eve t h at t h e u l tra sent i ments of M r. Cheetham in regard to Church and State and the ?allot were those of the moderate Liberal party of Zrcashire. He deprecated the extreme views of John Bright, and complained that that gentle llaan was perpetually railing against English insti tutions whilst lauding those of France and America. If Mr. Bright, however, were in those countries to sPeak with such freedom against the ruling powers °r th e popular voice as he did at home, he would in t he one instance be either banished or imprisoned, and in the other taken to the nearest tree and l ynched. (Hear ; cries of " Bright is a gentleman ;" a nd counter cries of " Serve him right.") Mr. HORsFALL, M.P., moved that the meeting Use all constitutional means to secure Mr. Turner's election. The motion was seconded by Mr. S. HOLME and Can ied enthusiastically. Mr. J. TOBIN then moved that a committee be 11 ,PPhinted to carry on the business of Mr. Turner's This motion was seconded by Mr. J. RANKIN a nd carried unanimously, after which the meeting separated.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) CROWN SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) TIIE KINGSWOOD MURDER. John Charles Franz, 24, a German, described as a shoe maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Martha Halliday. BRIGHTON RACES.—(This Day.) Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was specially retained with Mr. Robinson to conduct the prosecution. The Hon. G. Den man, Q.C., also specially retained, through the instrumen tality of the Sazon Embassy, with Mr. W. M. Best, de fended the prisoner. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) THREE-YEAR• OLD BIENNIAL. This case occupied the court a great many hours yester day, and was adjourned till to-day, but as the facts have all been given very fully, and very recently in the report of the proceeiings before the magistrates and the coroner, it will be unnecessary to give the evidence in detail. The unfortunate deceased was an elderly woman, and was the wife of a labouring man who is in the service of Mr. Alcock, M.P. It appeared that during the absence of the rector she was employed to take charge of the rectory at Kingswood, near to which place Mr. Alcock resides, and she was so engaged at the time she met her death, which was on the evening of the 10th of June last. There appeared to be no doubt that, by whom soever the crime was committed, the object in the first in • stance was plunder, and that although in carrying out that object the life of the deceased was sacrificed, all the facts a ent to show that this event was not contemplated by them. The murder appeared by the evidence to have been com mitted on the evening of the 10th of June, but no discovery took place until the following morning, when, upon an alarm being given, some persons belonging to the neighbourhood obtained access to the house and found the deceased dead. She was in her bedroom, in her night clothes, and had evidently been disturbed in her sleep by the intruders. Ths cause of death was suffocation. It appeared that a stocking had been forced down her throat so violently, as to carry along with it her tongue, that death must have taken place almost immediately, and it appeared that in order to avoid the possibility of her giving any alarm her hands and her feet also had been tied with a piece of strong cord. No property, or at all events only some articles of trifling value, appeared to have been removed from the premises, and the suggestion to account for this was, either that the robbers were disturbed, or that, finding the unhappy woman was dead, they became alarmed, and precipitately retreated, without carrying their original object into effect,but upon the room where the bodywas found being searched there was found a pocket-book containing papers that had evidently belonged to a foreigner, whose name was represented to be John Charles Franz, and also a letter showing that he had made an application to Mdlle. Tiet jens, the eminent vocalist, for assistance to enable him to return to his own country, and that she had, very kindly, di rected him to make an application to the proprietor of an hotel in London, who, on her behalf, would have assisted him to carry out his wishes. This formed an important point of evidence in su p port of the prosecution. The evi dence in support of the charge against the prieoner con sisted of a number of minute circumstances,' all of which, according to the theory of the prosecution, tended to show that he was one of the parties concerned in the murder. The first portion of the evidence was brought forward with a view to show that on the same day the murder was committed the prisoner and another man, both of whom were recognised as foreigners, were seen in tke neighbourhood where the crime was committed, and evidence was given that on the same day the murder was comuitted the prisoner and another man went to the shop of a tradesman at Reigate, which is about four miles from Kingswood, and purchased a ball of string. The prisoner was positively sworn to as being one of the two men who made the purchase, and it was proved that the string with whick the hands and feet of the unfortunate woman had been tied by her murderers corresponded exactly with the stringso purchased: The evidence then went to show that the prisoner Ind his companion had wandered to London where they took up their abode at a lodging-house at the east erd of the town, the prisoner giving a false name. Here the parties seemed to have separated, and nothing more was heard of the prisoner until several days afterwards, when he was taken into custody by a constaele of the City of London police named Underwood upon the charge of being secretet in a house in Old Broad -street with intent to commit felony ; and it appeared that he then gave the name of Saltimann. Of course, by this time, the subject of the murderhad become matter of notoriety, and a reward had been ofered in the Police Gazette for the discovery of the mwderers, and a description was given of their persons, and a suspicion, it appeared, at once arose tkat the prisoner was one of the men concerned in the warder, and after one or two examinations, the wit nesses were brought down from Reigate, and he was iden tified by them and committed for trial. After the prisoner had been removed to Reigate, in consequence of information received by the police, inquiries were made by them with regard to the pocket. book that had been found in the room of the murdered woman, and it appeared that the prisoner at length admitted he had given a false name when he was first taken into custody, and that his real name was Franz, and had at the same time said that his papers had been taken from him, and it also appeared that ke had made the serve statement previously to his being given into custody. He did not seem to have, at any time, made an admission that the papers that were found in the pocket-book belonged to him, and he accounted for having given a false name when he was first arrested by stating that ho had heard that a reward had been offered fur the apprehension of a man of the same name as his own, and he was afraid that he should be supposed to be the guilty party. There were a variety of other little circumstances that were relied upon by the prosecution asr h showi ngwhich h Mdlle. Tietjens was called as a w it ness t o prove t h e circum stances e the guilt of the prisoner, and application for relief was made to under nd ewthe her, and to identify the document that was found in the tut she was unable to prove any thingbed- r bed-room that o tended deceased, to show that the prisoner was the person by whom the application eras made, and the probability the murder it was his compa n i on w h o app li e d to thi s l a d y. On n appeared the to be, t s , e m h b a l t i n i thefg of prisoner was realty concerned in the Court this morning, Mr. Denman, Q.C., in an able speech, addressed the jury for the prisoner. He contended that the evidence adduced for the prosecution entirely Failed to connect the prisoner with the murder, and that the prisoner's statement as to his losing his papers had been borne out by the evidence 1 for the prosecution.

THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN NORTHUMBER LAND-STREET.—On enquiry, this morning, it was found that Major Murray, who left the Charing-moss Hospital in the early part of last week, and was con vbyed to the re sidence of his mother and brother, at No. 35, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, and where he is still constantly attended by Dr. Canton, is fast progressing towards recovery from the effects of the pistol shot wounds in the neck inflicted previous to the fearful and fatal encounter between him and Mr. Roberts. Major Murray strictly adheres to his statement before the coroner, and certain it is no further steps are contemplated, either by the family and friends of Mr. Roberts or the Police authorities, the verdict of justi fiable homicide, and the evidence before the jury, being deemed sufficient to justify no further proceedings being taken. Mrs Roberts, the widow, has taken possession of all the property in Northumberland-street, belonging to Mr. Robe' ts, and will act as administratrix ; the whole of the furniture and other articles still remain on the premises, the term for which the rooms were rented of Mr. Pomfret not having yet expired. THE ODD FELLOWS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The annual fete of the Metropolitan District In dependent Order of Odd Fellows Manchester Unity Friendly Society took place at the Crystal Palace yesterday. The members and friends of the several lodges mustered in great force, it being estimatcd that nearly 25,000 persons were present. From an early hour in the morning the railway station at London-bridge was literally choked by the ex cursionists; owing, however, to the admirable arrange ments made by the company, the trains crowded with their human freights left the platform at short intervals, and as far as could be learned without the slightest mishap. Very large numbers also came to the Palace by the road, espe cially from Woolwich and Mitcham. The special attrac tions provided included a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell, athletic games and pastimes, the great fountains and the entire series of Waterworks. The society consists of 32,000 members, of whom about 20,000 are located in London, and its object is, by means of entrance fees, subscriptions, and donations, to raise funds for the relief of its members during sickness or on the death of relatives. Separate funds are subscribed for management and incidental ex penses and the relief of casual brethren in distressed cir cumstances, 19 99 I 4 05 1 i i I 9 i 5 all all 134 all all 10j I i 2 17 161 18.8. all all all all all AUST.RALI.I. LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 5. The screw steamship Great Britain, Gray, com mander, from Melbourne, on the 30th of May, ar rived yesterday afternoon, after a passage of 65 days. She had MO passengers, including 23 infants and Mr. G. V. Brooke, the tragedian; and 62 boxes of gold, containing about 82,1950 z.— £328,000, on freight. The mail steamer at Benares had cleared at Mel bourne for Point de Galie on the 25th of May, with 48,825ez. of gold. The papers we have been able to obtain are only to the 29th of May, and the news is of the most meagre description. The Legislative Council at Melbourne had ap propriated £75,000 for the supply of water to the gold fields. At Melbourne business continued with out improvement, and orders for the country trade were extremely limited. Stocks of flour were heavy. Sugars continued very firm, and in full demand at full quotations. The Bendigo Advertiser reports that the quantity gold sent to Melbourne by escort had been decreasing to an alarming extent for a few weeks. It attributes the falling off, how ever, to one of the temporary lulls incidental to gold mining. _ . In the Geelong labour-market there had been an active inquiry for all kinds of ordinary la bourers. Some classes of bush mechanics were also in fair request; other classes in light demand. Adelaide advices of the 27th May report the markets quiet. Flour, £l5 10s. to LEG 53. STALE OF HUNGARL A letter from Pesth, dated July 29, sa ys—" The way in which the vapid and insolent imperial re script got its present form has at last come to light. The Hungarian Councillor of the Chancery, Ed ward Zsedenyi, drew up an answer to M. Deak's ad dress, trying to get a basis for the reconciliation with Hungary. He expressed the view that the union between Hungary and the hereditary pro vinces was something more than a personal union still he admitted that since the German hereditary provinces belonged to the German confederation, Hungary must have an entirely independent administration. He declared that the diploma of the 20th October is to be the means by which the interests of all the monarchy are to be reconciled to the old institutions of Hungary, and therefore, ac knowledging the formal validity of the laws of 1848, he summoned the Diet to revise those laws which break the unity of the army and hinder the supreme direction of the imperial finances, and for that purpose he insisted that a deputation of the Hungarian Diet should enter into a conference with a deputation of the Council of the Empire on that point. The draft acknowledged farther the legality of the union with Transylvania, and promised that immediate steps should be taken to call together the Transylvanian members, insisting at the same time on a bill regulating- the rights of the different races as regards the official use of their languages. Their draft would scarcely have satisfied the Hungarians ; still it might perhaps have given a basin for further negotiations. The German ministers, however, found even these concessions as they call them—we should have called them usurpations—far too fargoing, and after hav ing read the draft in the German translation, had it altered by the pen of M. Perthales, in the sense of Austrian centralisation, forgetting that not only some arguments but even several of the laws quoted by M. Zsedenyi, came into a jarring opposition with the new rescript. They did not even take the pains to see whether the laws were correctly quoted, and allowed some ridiculous mistakes to creep into the imperial answer, in which, for instance, by a cleri cal error, a law is quoted as proving the real union between Austria and Hungary, which simply speak s of the punishment of incendiaries. Baron Vey, of course, refused to sign the altered draft. But Count Forgach did not refuse to sign it ; his name was the price of the chancellorship. The rescript was re ceived with indignation and contempt. Count Apponyi could not believe that it was possible to send such an answer to the Hungarian Diet, and telegraphed to Vienna to ask whether he should really publish it; the reply convinced him that com mon sense had departed from the councils of the Emperor. The Diet adjourned after the publication for a few days to discuss the further proceedings in secret conference, and the two parties, after having heard the advice of Deak, elected each seven members to meet in a preparatory way for the purpose of concerting the answer to be given to the Imperial Council. The moderate party de puted Count Julius Andrassy, who was, in 1849, ambassador of the independent government at Con stantinople, and later for many years an exile in England and France ; Gorove, the secretary of the National Convention at Debreczin, and likewise for many years an exile; Szalay, the historian, the Hungarian ambassador at Frankfort in 1848 ; Klanzal and Baron Eotvos, the ministers of 1848 ; Melchior Lonyay, distinguished as a political econo mist ; and. Gabriel Kazinczy, whose speech in the address debate ranked next to that of Deak. The great leader of the moderate party directs his friends without taking part in the conference. The so-called party of independence, which represents Kossuth's views as far as they arc in opposition with Deak. sent Bonis and Nyary, both of them for several years prisoners of state at Josephstadt ; Csernovics, the leader of the Serbs ; the Baron Podmawiczky, M. Komaromy, M. Varady, and the leader of the party, Columban Tisza. These 14 gentlemen have as yet not been able to come to an unanimous agree ment, but it is probable that they will unite•on the present all-important occasion ; and about the 3d of August the Diet will exposemeettiosters a nd to the flimsy g ument of the German expound a r - m in the Hungarian claims before all Europe. Everybody feels now that we are on the eve of great events, and the dissolution of the Diet is inevitable. The German ministers, are, however, strongly mistaken if they believe that the indignation of the Hunga "lens will prompt the patriots who are in ef6. ,e, e wpecially the lord-lieutenants, to give in their resignation. It is said that M. Schmering had already drawn up a list of persons who might be willing to take the place of Baron Vav's nominees, but his pains were quite superfluous. At a private meeting of all the high officials it was resolved unanimously that since those nominations were for life, nobody should give up his place, but cling to it until he were expelled by force, protest ing against any illegal order, and refusing to exe cute it. This passive resistance is to be carried to the utmost point in all the muncipalities, which for the present are in the hands of elected magistrates, and if the Diet is dissolved every county is to take up the cause of the constitution, each county nilePt iug 'will form so many provincial diets. Against st tch a stubborn resistance the Vienna centralists will carcely be able to contend very long.

EEST I NDIA IRRIGATION CoMPANY.—The di rectors of this company have issued their first report. It shows that, as stated the other day, Sir Charles Wood has conceded to- the company the interpretation which they, in common with every one outside the 'lndia office, placed upoii the term 3 of arrangement originally made. As by this concession the only obstacle which threatened to prevent the Bath factc .ry settlement of a contract at Calcutta has been removed,. the , establishment of this (the first) unguaranteed company for the construction of reproductive works in India may tie s aid to be accomplished. Lord Canning has already perused t he d.raft contract which was drawn up on the com pany's be half, and thoseportionswhichhe suggested should be amend. have been amended so as r ea lly t o me et his views ; r aorea' ve r, v er, all in authority at Calcutta are desirous of lendin g a yelping hand to the enterprise, the prospects of which are eke refore much improved. Should it, inde pendent] y prom ot ed, achieve success, as is greatly to be de sired, a I Treat e amuragement will be given to the flow of unguarai steed c apital to India.

Yesterday the period of two years expired, f or which the master builders had entered into their bond of association, leaving then f!.ee either to ceeee or renew their connexion with the association. A deputation from the mesons' committee nmoralingiy waited upon the firm of Waller and Sons, the ex tensive contractors of King's-road, Chelsea, to ascer tain the final decision of the firm.upon the question of the compromise. The result of this interview was the unconditional acceptance by the firm of Messrs. Waller of the compromise, the only stipula tion made being that the firm should receive back their old workmen as far as possible. As soon as the decision of Messrs. Waller became known through the trade, M e. Joseph Myers, of Messrs. Myers' firm, Lamb e th, visited the head quarters of the masons, in Westmi ns t er - roa d , an d had a long conversation with several of his ell workmen, and although no positive arrangement was made a favourable result is anticip a t e d . An aggregate meeting of the carp en t ers en d joiners of the metropolis was held Let evening. at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, t o take into consideration the present position of affairs in the building trades, as it affected their branch— . Mr. Franklin in the chair. The following resolu tions were agreed to :—" That this meeting Vi ews with concern and regret the inconsistent and partial conduct of the Government in not immediately withdrawing the Sappers from the works of the Chelsea Barracks instead of allowing one month previous to their withdrawal, they having acknow ledged the principle to he wrong under which they were employed. That the secretary forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of State for War." " That in the opinion of this meeting the system of hiring and paving by the hour is objec tionable, as it tends to destroy all identity of inte rest and sympathy between employers and employed, reducing the terms of engagement to a period be getting in the workmen a constant fear of discharge ; we therefore pledge ourselves to resist, by ETC] y legitimate me:ns, such an unjust system, and to support the branches of the building trade now eit strike, or any other branch, in obtaining the term,. of the compromise." FORDRAIII, T 1 1P, CELEBRATED JOCKEY. In private life Fordham's popularity is as great as it is in public; and among the jockeys we can with truth say ho has not a single enemy, for his kindness of heart always prompts him to make an excuse for any defect in their riding to which his attention has been called, adding, he could not have ridden him better himself." To whist he is especially partial, when there is, as he calls it, no " efficing ;" and in the long winter evenings at Drewett's it is his constant amusement. His habit, however, of consulting one of those books in which the cards are printed with directions how to play them, renders a rubber a rather longer affair than it is at the Arlington or White's ; but his excuse, if iie did not pursue this system "he might chuck away a trick," is readily accepted. Of shooting he is also very fond ; and the co verts of Jenkinstown, the fields of Epsom, and the uplands of Mamhead, all bear witness to his prowess with his gun ; still, we think we shall not err in stating he is more to be feared shooting a favourite a few strides from home on a race-horse than a hare when in action. Of Terpsichore he is a decided votary; and in a three-handed reel at Danebury can stay longer than that celebrated professor, Young King, who, a few months back, danced a friend for a sovereign after dinner for 40 minutes without his boots, and beat him. Of Paris and the Parisians he has a great admiration, as, in his frequent visits across the Channel, he has had plenty of opportunities of studying their manners end customs. He has, however, sensibly felt the inconvenience of not being able to speak the lan guage as fluently as he does English, for, about a twelvemonth back, h e wen t i nto a haircutter's shop to have his locks trimmed, and the operator, having no orders to the contrary, and not under standing one syllable of English, went on with his customer until he had left as much hair on his head as there is on a cannon ball. In this state he came to Newmarket the following day, when his old travelling tutor, Mr. Mellish, inquired of him, if "he had had a month," to which he indignantly replied in the negative, adding, "that it was all very well for him to talk, bathe should liketo know what he would have done had he been • Paris, and had his hair cut, and been unable to telt them when to stop." Those who know Fordham's style of arguing can well understand the force of his remonstrance; but he has wisely resolved never again to place himself in such a peculiar position, and has since employed none but native artists on his poll. But, if partial to the turf, lie is no less fond of the chase, and never misses a day with the Southdown foxhounds, with whom, when there is anything to do, he goes right well, cramming his horse through the rough hedges and over the doubles of the heavy Weald of Sussex, without the slightest compunction, and being always mounted on blood horses, with his light weight and fine hands, he is invariably in the first flight, at the finish of a run. On alternate days, he generally pays a i . yisit r,:,.t0 the neighbouring pack of har riers, with whom his great pleasure seems to be to consider himself to be whipper-in, and to halloa and crack his whip. His stud of hunters is not a large one, as they only consist of Levity, Babylon, and a wonderful pony, but they are all presents, and, in the language of Mr. Murray, of Manchester, won derfully well educated. Besides these he may occa sionally be seen at the covert side on an old steeple chaser, oe on a cat-legged two-year-old, hardly up to the weight of a pair cf boots, or on some half-bred farmer's mire fit to carry 16 stone. But it is all the same to him, for he " nego tiates" their fences so well for them as to escape with very few falls. A pony race he loves to distraction ; and he is never so proud as when, after letting a butcher's boy or farmer's son pump himself out, he comes and beats him on some scratch of a pony he has picked up for the occasion. Steeplechasing he also likes at the end of the hunting season, and his favourite mare, Levity, has won one over four miles of very severe country. During his career on the turf, Fordham mus t have amassed a pretty large sum of mon e y; and we be lieve we are not wrong in stat in g that in th e invest mentr of it he is guided by the advice of his old ma ster, Mr. J. S. Douglas, the owner of Tourna gfelaeft fear of iitthsoubt ein es g ources improperly in the e vening of life. And if rough and u n p o li s h e d i n employed,men t , so t h orer hise is benion ais manner, Fordham, in the relations of life, has showed himself possessed of more valuable attri butes; and his name will ever rank in the the turf with those of the highest• artists in the saddle during the time he ouri fl • shed.—Bally's t-agazine of Sports. US, Z (, OLOGICAL DISCOVERI•. W hen interrupted, some ti T eago . , ihe telegraphic communi cation between c of two gli atft Cagliari Bona, in Algeria, was years, measures suddenly e N r ver subsisting for the space purpose e r a e cr s °a o i r o ted a h t o op for t t i o h n e of getting the cable up which only su ccee d e d partially. The portion er of the cable recovered having lain in a submarine valley of the depth of from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, an excellent opportunity was thus offered for the study of the zoological species to be found at that depth. M. Alphonse Edwards, a French naturalist, who was on the spot at the time, has now published the b results of his observations on th a t occasion. Amon g the extraneous bodies which adhered to the cable, he mentions several mollusks still living time they were brought up. One of them was the Ostrea cochlear, a kind of oyster which is frequent e nough in the editerranms at a depth of from 300 to 400 feet, but which had never been foun d at an y depth approaching to that of the vall ey surface like completely a p itt er-cast, th e shape st above_ . There me ntioned. It must have fixed itself to the at ca the le when very young; for its lower valve, about 6 cen timetresof th in e cbarbelaed'sth, had was also a Pecten opercularis, a sea -shell the valves of which fits like a lid , one of at tached to the cable, and a much on the other, pecten testce. To these were add rarer one also, the the nzonodanta lintbata, and added two gasteropodes, both extremely rare, and the Jusus lamellosta, alive within. Of corals containing the animal speci mens belonging to there were fourteen d three different species of the family of turbinor one fossil, that i es t two of which are new, and is, hitherto only found in ancient geological strata mixed with other pa lreon tologica fragments. It has thus been ascertained beyond a doubt that, at a depth of 8,000 feet below the sur face of the sea, there exist living beings o f seden tary h abit s, and mostly belonging to such sp ec i e s as have been very seldom found at more accessible depths. ' ANOTHER CHILD MURDER.—AU inquest was held yesterday by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Bromley, on the body of a female child un known, found under the following cimumstances :—On Sa turdaylast, about 4 o'clock i n t h e afternoon, as a man S a muel Prince was at. Wor k at t h e rear o f a h ouse eniatumaetde in Archibald-street, Bromley, he saw a fish-basket l y ing in the garden, as if it had been thrown over the side wall. The man had seen two females loitering about shortly before, one of whom was carrying a brown paper parcel. The basket was opened, when he found the body of a fine child, wrapped in a coarse towel. Mr. Garman, surgeon , said that the deceased had been borne alive. The body was well formed and fully developed. The umbilical cord had been severed, and death was the result of suffocation by pressure on the mouth and nostrils. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some perso; or persons 1 unknown." 2.14 stock stscli stock stock stock 6.4.0. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 25 stock stock stock 10 19.16 4 10 stock stock stock stock stock stock 25 stock stock stock stock stock 12 10 stock 10 stoci stock stock stock stock all lico 100 100 100 all all 111 12 5 el 106 4 94 / 81i } 65 45 41 1016 1001 95 i Share 100 stk 78 20} 204 10 100{ 174 20 stock 20 20 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stock
