li ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The rates of discount continue firm, and the en quiry is active, but the market is more liberally supplied. The bidding for 40.00.000 rupees (X 400,000) in bills on India, took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were to Cal cutta, 22.00.000 rupees, to Bombay 16.00.000 rupees, and to Madras 2.00.000 rupees. The de• Glared minimum price was as before, ls. ilsd. per rupee on Calcutta, and ls. 1l d. on Bombay and Madras. The applications within the limits amounted to 107 lace. Tenders on Calcutta at ls. 11 Id. will receive about 32 per cent.; on Bombay at ls. lltd., about 21 per cent. ; on Madras at ls. !lid., about 45 per cent., and all above these prices in full. A further sum of £40,000 in gold was taken into Bank yesterday. _ A circular has been issued to the shareholders of the London and Colonial Bank, intimating that a head branch has been opened in Montreal, Canada, and that an agency has been established in Toronto. The directors reftr to the visit of Mr. Tait, one of their number, to Canada, whose mission has re stilted in arrangements very favourable to the interests of the Bank. The warrants for interest at the rate of 5 per cent. on the shares of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Com pany, for the three months ending the 30th ult., have j ust been issued. Mr. Blackwell, the Indian manager to the company, has just arrived in this count ry, and the directors intimate that he will be prese nt at the emning general meeting. Ti le last week's rail' ay receipts ascertained up to t'ais day are in round figures as under : Great Westernls63. 1862. £64,320 £65,886 •N orth-Western .... to i,639 103,446 F•outh- Western Brighton idland 42,642 40.191 south-Eastern 22,585 23,562 (Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 36,650 33,840 Great Eastern North Eastern Bristol and Exeter.~,,,....

Two O'CLOCK. A special meeting of the Van Diemen's Lind Company was held to-day for the purpose of elect ing a deputy governor, and disposing of the for feited shares. Mr. V. Knight, who occupied the chair, stated that under the provisions of the recent act the directors proposed to sell 116 shares, being a portion of those forfeited. The proceeds from the sale would discharge the expenses incurred in ob taining the new Act of Parliament, and also pay off the liabilities of the late Cnancery suit. The pros pects of the company were more encouraging now than at any other time, and the directors enter tained good hopes that at the next meeting they would be able to declare a dividend. A resolution in acoordance with the suggestions of the directors was unanimously agreed to. It was also resolved to offer the shares to the public by tender. Mr. V Ilentine Knight was elected the Deputy Governor of the Company. At Paris his morning, according to Mr. It euter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 55c. The transactions in the market for the English Funds continue on a very limited scale, bat not withstanding the inactivity of speculation prices remain st-•ady. Consols are 92 I for money, and 92-} for the account. The transactions in other de*criptions have been very limited; the new Threes and Reduced Annuities, however, have been firm ar 911 92 ; Exchequer Bills at 4s. dis. to par; ludi.t 5 per Cents. at 1081 t, and Enfaced 51 per Cents. at 1159 I. A further downward movement has taken place in the Foreign Market and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 671 68; do. Consolides, 50 501 ; Mexican, 369 I ; Greek, 341 i ; do.

Great Eastern and Great Northern A Stock has receded 55.; North Eastern (York), 1O.; and London, Chatham, and Dover, £l. _ . In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little variation of importance as regards values. Bank and Miscellaneous Snares have in some in- stances also shown less firmness.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mills pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10thh 1 er cent. dearer in London than in Paris. Py advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling. -tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 155} to 1561 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 421 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. fhe journals of Rome state that the anniversary of the Pope's coronation, the 21st, was observed in that city with considerable pomp. A grand service was celebrated in the chapel at the Vatican, and afterwards Cardinal Mattei, the senior member of the Sacred College, renewed to his Holiness the expression of the members' af fectionate devotedness. The diplomatic corps were also received by the Holy Father, and at night the city was illuminated.

Th e special correspondent of the New York Times gives the following detailed account of the cavalry fight at Aldie on the 17th ult., which is described as one of the sharpest cavairy battles of the war : "Aldie, Wednesday, June 17. "The advance of General Gregg's cavalry command reached this place about 2 o'clock this afternoon, where two brigades of the enemy, commanded by General Stuart in person, were found in possession. After three hours' hard fighting they were forced to retire. The fight while it lasted was one of the sharpest that has occurred during the war, and as a eon& quence the loss of officers and men on both sides is very heavy. The enemy's pickets were first en countered a little east of the village by companies H and M of the 2d New York (Harris) Light Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Daniel Whittaker, and were by them driven through the town back to a ridge of hills half a mile to the west, extending across from the Middle burgh and Snicker's Gap-road, where the rebel force was in position ready for action. The advance brigade, under Gen. Kilpatrick, immediately moved through to the western edge of the town. The Ist Maine (Colonel Douty) was sent elf to a point half a tni e to the left, and the 4th New York (Colonel Cesnola) to the right, to support a section of An drews's battery, placed on a rise of grouud north of the Snicker's Gap-road. The enemy at this time occupied the hill, as before stated, where they bad four guns in position ; a line of their skirmishers occupied a fence on the eastern slope, and a long ditch, just in front of which were half-a dozen stacks of hay, thus commanding both Middleburgh and Snicker's Gap-road. A. stronger position could not well have been selected. When the exact position of the enemy had been ascertained by drawing their fire, General Kilpatrick rode up to the 2d New York (Barris Light), and said then was the time for them to wipe out the reflection cast upon them for their alleged misconduct in the fight of last week at Brandy Station. He ordered them to criarge into the valley and secure the haystacks; tho ditch or ravine at the rear of this position had not then been discovered. Ccmpanies H and M, accompanied by Lieut. Whittaker, Raymond, Martinson, Homan, and Stuart, moved off down the Middleburgh-road, the fence to the right was quickly thrown down, and with a dash this for lorn hope rushed up to the haystacks, For the first time their fire was opened from the ditch a little to the rear of the haystacks. This was filled with rebel caval-y, many of them armed with rifles. Capt. Grintar with Lieutenants Aattison and Shafer, and Company K, dashed up imme diately to the support of these companies, F, I, D, and G went to the right up the Snicker s Gap road a piece, turned to the left, creased the field, and reached the scene of conflict in time to take an active part. The contest for 20 minutes at this point was about as spirited a scene as is often witnessed on a battlefield. Tue 6th Ohio, Major iteatiman, was sent up the road to the left to support the Harris Light, when the whole command, with the Major at its head, dashed into the fight just in time to decide the unequal contest. The rebels were forced to abandon their position, and all who were not killed or captured fled pre cipitately up the hill. They made a short stand behind the ience, when a dash from a battalion of the 4th New York, called on from its position behind the battery, together with (he other regiments already named, d-eve them pell-mell over the hill. The let Mhine about this time was called in from the left, and with the let Massaohussets, stationed on the Snicker's Gap road, sent to a position held by the 2d battalion of the 4th New York. The rebels at this time charged down the sama road and drove before them a squadron, when General Kilpatrick ordered the Ist Maine (Colonel Douty), let Massachusetts (Lieutenant-Colonel Curtis!, and a battalion of the 4th New York, under Colonel Cesnola, to charge up the road. There was a little hesitancy at first, when General Kilpatrick, ac companied by Colot, el Douty. of the Ist Maine, and Captain Costar, of General Pleasanton's Staff, went to the front and called upon the toops to follow. There was no hesitancy !hen. '1 he Maine bays gave three cheers for General Kil patrick, and the whole column made a dash up the road in the face of a terrible fire from carbines,riflles, and cannon, sweep ing everything before them. This virtually ended the fight. floe rebels, after a little more skirmishing, fell back, and our forces to-night occupy their position. Col. Cesnola was under arrest at the commencement of the action, but set such a gallant example ro his men, by leading the first eharge without his sword, that upon returning to the road General Kilpatrick released him from arrest and placed upon him his own sword. He immediately after partici pated in the charge with the Ist Maine, Ist Massachusetts, and 4th New York, and has not been seen since. A ser geant of the regiment asserts that he saw the Colonel fall, and he is sure that he was killed, and some of the rebel prisoners confirm this report. But the report of his death , s not generally believed. In this charge Gen. Kilpatrick had a horse shot under him, and Colonel Duuty, of the Ist Maine, was killed. When returning from the charge the body was found by Capt. Vaughn, who had itproperiy cared ;or. Two shots struck him, probably at about the same time. The Ist Massachusetts captured the battle flag of the 4; h Vir- ' ginia Cavalry. More than 100 prisoners were captured, mem bers principally of the Ist, 3d, 4th, and sth Virginia cavalry. They say they were under the command of General Stuart. Among the prisoners is one colonel, three majors, and a lot of line officers. The major and 60 men, who were stationed behind the haystacks, were u.arly all captured. The major considered his position impregnable, not believing that any cavalry would dare make a ch..rge upon the place, swept as the whole field was by three lines of guns. The meeting of General Gregg's command was entirely unexpected by the rebels. Stuart had arrived thus far on a forced march into Maryland, having marched 25 miles this morning, and ex pfcting tibe on the road again in the evening. Two regi ments had entered the town, and had pressed into their ser vice all the blacksmith's toools to be found ; and when our advance guard approached they were busily engaged shoeing horses. To-day the command of Colonel Duffie passed through Thoroughfare G ip, after a brief fight, and to-night occupies Middleburgh. five miles from Aldie, and in the rear of Stuart's army. Stuart will have to fight to-morrow at a disadvantage, or, what is more probable, sneak off to-night. Captain Allen, of the 4th New York Cavalry, came through the rebel lines with this news." THE CHARITY CHILDREN IN ST. PAUL'S.— When the children rise egain, there rises simul taneously in a tall red box, like aPunch's show with the top off, an energetic figure in a surplice, armed with a long ick ; the organ begins to play, and, led by the man in the surplice, the children commence the Hundredth Psalm, which is sang in alternate verses, the children on the right taking the first verse, and the second being taken up by those on the left. I had heard much of this performance, and, like, all those things of which we hear much, I was a little disappointed. I had heard of people being very much affected ; of their bursting into tears, and showing other signs of being overcome. I saw nothing of this, The voices of the children were fresh, pure, and ring ing ; but where 1 stood at least, very close to the choir, there was a shrillness in the tone, which at times was discordant and almost painful There was also a marked peculiarity in the strong sibillation given to the letter "S" in any words in which it occurred. Several times during the ensuing ser vice the children sang much in the same manner, and I began to think that all I had heard was overrated, when after a serm n during which many of them had refreshed themselves with more than forty winks, and considerably more than forty thousand nods, they burst into the glorious Hallelujah chorus. The result was astonishing. I cannot describe it. At each repetition of the word "Hallelujah," by the 4,000 fresh voices, you felt your eyes sparkle and your cheeks glow. There was a sense of mental and phy sical exhilaration which I not only felt myself, but marked in all around me. Now for the first time I uneerstood how the effect of which I had been told had been produced; now I comprehended how the "intelligent foreigner" (who is always brought foward as a reference) had said that such a performance could not be matched in the world.—Dickens's " 411 the Year Round."

ROBBERY OF DIAMOND EARRINGS OF £l5O VALUE AT A COURT JEWELLER'S—After Mr. fyrwhitt tick his seat on the bench this morning, at a quarter-past 11, John Rice, a well dressed man, who refused his address, said he was of no occupation, and who, at the time he was taken into cus tody, was wearing a watch and chain of the value of £3O, was charged by Inspector Tanner, of the Detective Depart ment, Scotland-yard, with being concerned with another matt not in custody in stealing a pair of diamond earrings of the value of £l5O, at 79 A Br ok-street, the property of Mr. Harry Emanuel, court jeweller. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, prosecuted, and Mr. Ed ward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended. Mr. Lewis, jun., having opened the case, called Mr. Arthur Win. Young, au assistant to Mr. Emanuel, who said On the 18th of June last, between one and two "clock, the prisoner and another man came into the shop, and walked up to the counter where I was serving. The other man asked to see some necklets,and some were shown him by another assistant. The man said they would not suit him, and that he wanted something more expensive. I then brought •-ut some diamond locaeto, with chains attached to them. At that time a tray was placed on the counter by Mr. Beasley, the assistant, an open tray about 18 inches in length. It contained diamond brooches and earrings in little boxes of the description of the one produced, and at the time a pair of diamond-top earrings were in a little case. While engaged talking to the other man I observed the prisoner go to the tray and take out a box and lock at a diamond orooch with the word "souvenir," in diamond, on it, but after examining it he put it down again. The prisoner remained at the tray for about three minutes while 1 was talking to the other man, but I had not my eyes on him all the while. At this time an assistant named Beck entered at the frontloor, and the prisoner removed from the tray, and came up to the ether man and spoke to him, but he could not hear what passed, and the prisoner than left, leaving the other man behind The other man then in about three minu es said he would call on Saturday and see some fine emeralds, and left, and directly alt-r 1 missed the pair of earrings from the tray placed on the counter. Mr. Lewis, jun.--I suppose the man did not keep hi., promise as to calling on Saturd iy ? The witness —Ile did not, and I have not seen him since. At the time the prisoner wore the same gold chain with a guinea ati ached, as that produced. From information 1 yesterday received from Mr. Gough, assistant to Messrs. Garrards, 1 went into Oxford-street, and there saw tht prisoner, who, seeing me, ran away, but I pursued him and gave him into custody. The prisoner had two ether men with him at the time, but they succeeeded in getting away On telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Oh, you have made a mistake, for I've been myself robbed of two nos es." Mr. Edward Lewis having put a few questions to the witness on behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Frederick Gough, . ssistant to IVi essrs. Garrards, of Panton-street, jt wellers, &c., said—Yesterday, about three o'clock, the prisoner and another wan entered our esta blishment. After leaving, in consequence of a suspicion I felt, I followed them, and saw teem joined by a third man in Panton-street. They all went into an oyster shop, an , . then went and looked in a jeweller's window. They thee went on, and walked twice past Messrs. Hunt and Rakell's. in Bond-street, and then went into Mr. Turner's, a jewel, ler, and afterwards to Messrs. Eglise and Thomas's, in Ox ford -street. I gave information to the last witness. Mr. Lewis, jun.—l shall now ask your worship for a remand. Mr, Tyrwhitt—l will remand them till Wednesday next WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS AT CREMORNE GAR - DENS.—Two men, who gave 'he names of Thorpe and Rathbone, were charged before Mr. Arnold with attempt ing to pick pockets at Cremorne-gardens. Police -constable, 86 A, states that about 10 o'clock last Light, he was ou duty in plain clothes at the gardens when he observed the prisoners moving about among the com pany. Their conduct excited bis suspicion, when witness was inauced to watch their motions, Witness alter a short time saw one of the prisoners put his hand into the pocket of a female. Upon his leaving he asked her if she had lost anything. She replied that she had not. The prisoner afterwards went on, when he observed the other prisoner, who had a coat on his aim, go up to a gentleman and place his hand upon a gentleman's watch guard. Wit ness knocked away the prisoner's hand, and took him into custody. Witness then obtained the assistance of two police constables who, with him, conveyed the prisoners to the station-house. he prisoners were remanded. CHARGE OP STEALING MEAT, &C., AT CREMORNE GAR DEN B.—Thomas Chandler, a cook, was charged with having in his possession a quantity of cooked meat, part of a duck, &c., the property of Mr. E. T. Smith, the proprietor. Mr. Smyth was engaged for the prisoner. It appearei that between seven and eight last evening the prisoner was leaving the gardens having a bundle in one hand and a leacher bag which contained a quantity of cooked meat, &c. He stopped him and communicated tcith Mr. Smith, upon which he was given into custody. Mr. Clifford, the head cook, stated that the cooks on leav ing were generally allowed some of the provisions that were left. He gave the prisoner his portion, and also another portion for another cook. Mr. Arnold remarked that the prisoner was wrongfully given into custody. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. PERSONATING A DETECTIVE. Henry Young, a car man, out of place, about 35 years of age, and of shabby genteel appearance, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with falsely representing himself as a detective officer of the Metropolitan Police Force. Crane Barrett said he kept a Tom and Jerry, or beer_ shop, called the Bank of Friendship, in the West India road. Last night, at half•past 11, the prisoner came to hi, house and represented himself to Mrs. Barrett as a detec tive, and said he intruded to lay an information. He asked the prisoner what he meant, to which Le replied, "If you don't come up right I. shall know what to do." He said, "What authority have youfor pretending to be a detective ?" The prisoner said he was a detective, and he intended to bring witnesses forward to prove there was gambling in the house. He be 'ged of the prisoner not to give false infor mal ion. The prisoner then bade him good night. In an .wer to questions by the magistrate, the witness stated that his wife could not attend, and she was very much alarmed by the prisoner's visit. Alexander Munroth, a clothier and boarding-house keeper, said he heard the prisoner say he was a detective, and belonged to the K division of police, and he intended to briog Mr. Barrett to the Thames Police Court for suffering gambling, card playing, and other games in his house. Sorrell, a police constable, said that at half-past ten o'clock last night he saw the prisoner talking to a prosti tute in the West India-road, and spoke to him. The prisoner said there was a man named Evans in the Bank of Friendship playing at cards, and that there was a war rant out against him. He pulled his hat off to prevent being discovered, looked through a pane of glass in the window and could see no one. Mr. Phillip Beare, inspector of the K division, said the prisoner was formerly a police-constable of the K division, and was aismissed 18 mouths ago for drunkenness. The prisoner had been working for the Limited Company, at the Orchard-house, Blackwell. Mr. Partridge said it was clear to him the prisoner assumed the character of a detective for the purpose of ex torting money. He fined the prisoner £5, and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY ACClDENT.—Yester day Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, concluded the in quiry, at Streatham, into the circumstances connected with the Brighton railway accident of the 29th of May last. After several persons employed on the line had been exa mined, Mr. John Scott Russell was called by Mr. Faithful, on behalf of the company. He stated that he considered tank engines the safest and best kind of engine that could he used for traffic on this particular line, namely, between Victoria, London Bridge, and Croydon. He had heard nothing to account for the accident, f xcept the irregular shutting off of the steam. Colonel Yolland, who had made an inquiry by direction of the Board of Trade, said that the permanent-way was not strong enough to bear the weight of the engine and carriages running at such a speed. He did not think it expedient to run at the rate of 60 miles an hour with tank engines having 181 t. 6in. wheel basis, espe cially when the engine was not tightly screwed up to the break van behind it. The jury, atter deliberating for an hour, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased persons severally came by their deaths from accident, and we, the jury, are of opinion that it was attributable to the high rate of speed at which the express trains run over the line from Croydon to Victoria. The jury would urge on the directors of the London and Brighton Company the necessity of allowing more time for the performance of the journey, and that careful attention should be given to the 'coupling of tee trains." The Wester Zeitung states that the works at the port of Jdhde have not suffered any delay in conse quence of the present state of the internal affairs of Prussia; but, on the contrary, are being carried en with great energy, upwards of 1,800 men being constantly employA on them. The expectation is that next year the works will be suffi ciently advanced for a part of the Prussian navy to find anchorage in the port. At the Liverpool Police Court yesterday, a per fect adept at picking the pockets of ladies dresses, who gave his name as James Buxton, and who is well known in Manchester, Leeds, York, Birmingham, and other places, was sent for trial at the sessions on three charge: His custom wa 3 to meet respectable women in th e street, and stop them by putting some trifling question, w b n , he would detain them in conversation, and suddenly away. Invariably the ladies, af ter these interviews, found themselves roVbed of their purses and rnsual. kUST. IBE R. ROYAL HORTICtiLTURAL GARDENS, Decidedly the most successful fete this society has given since its removal to the gardens at South kensington was the grand summer show of fruit and flowers held yesterday. The weather was "bright and glorious summer" in every sense of the term. There was a clear sky and a bright sun, with the heat tempered by a cooling western breeze. The entries were unprecedentedly numerous; the specimens presented at the altars of Pomona and Flora were of unusual excellence, and the company was highly distinguished. In the floral part of the exhibition the roses, which as usual at this season form the great attraction, were for the most part of wondrous perfection, and in almost endless variety. Ferns and foreign plants of the variegated-leaved species were also numerous, the caladias, bigonias, and other kindred species being largely in the ascendant, b t, and all first class. In the fruit department the grapes were conspicuous, both for size and form, and the peach es , nectar i nes, strawberries, and cherries were marvels of gardening skill. Amongst the co mpany present we observed toe Queen of Prussia at tended by the Countess Schulenbourg, the Countess Schwerin, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and Count Boos ; their Royal H i g hnesses th e Princess Helena and the Princess Louisa, attended by Lady Caroline Barring ton and the Honourable Mr. West ; the I uchess of St. Albans, Duchess of Sutherland, his Excellency the Russian Ambassador, Baroness de Rothschild, Lord H. Lennox, Duchess of Montrose, Lord and Lady Powlett, Marquis ot Bristol, Lady Granville , Ea rl of Orkney,Lady, Farnloam, Lord and Lady Claude Hamilt on, Lady Lismore, the Earl William and Countess Manvers, Sir Cha rles Kni g htley, Sir Clay, Bart., Lord Chiden, the Dowager Countess Ashbrock, Lady Doughty, Earl Rowe, Lord Dynevor, Lady Foley, Lady Bridport, the Count ess Albemarle, Lord Otho Fitz gerald, Lady Keating, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lord Harris, Lady Byles, Sir Watkin and Lady Wynn, Lady Baily, and Lady Lucie. The bands of the Grenadier and Fusilier Guards were in attendance, and per formed various popular pieces during the morning. A dis play of white china, Celadon and Majolica, from Minton's china and glass depot, South Aud!ey-street, attracted con • siderable and deserved attention. DOES SMOKING PRODUCE CANCER. There is still one ether form of cancerous disease which deserve. consideration ; I wenu °greet of tho lower lip. The lower lip is affected, not unfrequently, in the pre disposed, with a variety of cancer called from its spreading and superficial character " epithelial cancer." It has been observed unquestionably of this cancer that it occurs fre quently in persons who smoke short pipes, and that it breaks out at that part of the lower lip where the pipe produces an impression. Here therefore we may. without hesitatiun, assume that smoking excites the cancerous disorder; but, as I said some time since, this exciting cause is indirect in its action, inasmuch as it is connected with the pipe, and not with the tobacco; for it has been found by experience that the mischief does not become developed in cigar smokers, nor even in those who smoke pipes having a smooth surface, and which are of sufficient length, and as a consequence are cool—but that the accident happens mainly trout the use of the short cutty pipe, which is held very firmly in the lips without any support from the hand, and conveys to the lip considerable heat, amounting some- times almost to pain. Those who are opposed to tobacco will naturally accept the fact above given as a condemnation of the weed, Those who advocate tobacco, on the other hand, will assert that the statement, if true, tells nothing against tobacco itself, but simply against an objectionable way of using it; and I confess that this latter view of the subject is the one with which I should agree. Nay, Ido not know whether something more may not be said even on the tobacco side of the controversy, for the truth is this, that whenever the pipe brings out the disease, as we have seen, there existed in the person affected a strong predisposition which would, almost to a certainty, become developed in some one part or other of the body, if it did not break out in the lip. Under such circumstances the life of the sufferer will be considerably lengthened or shortened, according to the point at which the disease manifests itself, and it there is one point of the body more favourable than another for the de velopment of cancer, it is the lip, and if there is one form that is more open to cure I y operation than another, it is the epithelial cancer which occurs in the lip. Hence in the run of cases, it may rather be an advantage than otherwise that the cancerous disease should be thrown out at a spot where, tor a time at least, it may divert the development of the fatal growth from more vital organs, and where, in ex tremity, it lies within the reach of treatment, and even of cure.—. Dr. Richardson in the Social Science Review. CONFEDERATE CRUISERS.—The New York Herald says that the Confederates have no less than five steamers and four sailing vessels at work preying upon the commerce of the Federale, and that in fact they are getting up quite a respectable flotilla upon the ocean. The steamers are the Alabama, the Florida (late Oreto), Georgia (late Japan), Robert Lee, and a steamer, the name of which is unknown, stationed off Cape Horn. The sailing vessele ate the bark Lapwing, tender to the Florida; the bark Tacony, or Florida No. 2 ; and two vessels, names unknown, cruising between Rocas Reef and 3 deg. east of the island of Fernando de Noronha. Already they have captured, burnt, and destroyed no less than 128 vessels. EDINBURGH VERSUS DUBLlN.—TheogneStiOn of precedence as between these two cities has been raised in consequence of what passed on the presentation of addresses to ber Majesty on the occas•on of the Prince of Wales's marriage. Ulster Sing- at-Arms was requested to rep ,rt to the Lord -Lieutenant of Ireland upon the subject, and discusses it accordingly in a paper in which he de scribes the claim of Edinburgh as founded upon three reasons-1. That the Scottish Act of Union was earlier in date than the Irish; 2. That the arms of Scotland are quartered in the Royal shield before the aims of Ire land; 3. That by the Acts of Union and Scotland the peers of Scotland take rank before the peers of Ireland. Ulster maintains the insufficiency of these seasons, and 'he right of Dublin to precedence, and he mentions that it was a city in the time of Ptolemy. But the Govern• ment having referred this report to Garter King-at- Arms for his observations thereon, that officer of State has given his opinion, stating that these three reasons satisfy him that precedency belongs to Scotland as the elder, and as it were the twin sister of England. He relies much on the position of the arms of Scotland and of Ire land in the national achievement, and remarks that since the Union in 1801 the standard of Scotland has preceded that of Ireland, the great officers of Scotland have pre ceded those of Ireland, and the officers of arms of Scotland have preceded those of Ireland, as may be seen by the ce remonial of the coronation of George IV. Some reliance has been placed on the privilege claimed by the Corpora tion of Dublin of presenting addresses to the Sovereign on the throne, but Garter observes that this is not shown to have occurred until January, 1821, in the reign of George IV., and a similar honour was enjoyed by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh when they pre sented an address to the some monarchist ,Holyrood in August, 1822. Many privileges may beg ven to one body, not enjoyea by another, without the reb y affecting th e ears , or precedence of either.

During the charges of the F by French cavalry, which were always preceded a tremend ous fire of artillery at point-blank distance, we lost many men. The cuirassiers and heavy dragoons name so close that it was fearedthey would enter by the gap which had been made in our square. Adair rushed forward, placed himself in the open space, and with one blow of his sword killed a French officer who had actually got amongst our men. Atter many exploits, showing a coolness and a cou rage rarely equalled, and never surpassed, Adair was struck towards the end of the day by a canon ball, which shat tered leis thigh near the hip. His sufferings during the amputation were dreadful. The shot had torn away the flesh of the thigh, and the bones were sticking up near the hip in splinters. The surgeon, Mr. Gilder, had much difficulty in using his knife, having blunted it, and all his other instruments, by amputations in the earlier part of the battle, Poor Adair, during the operation, had suffi- eient pluck to maks cne last ghasty joke, saying "Take your time Mr, Carver." He soon afterwards died from 1 ' 369 of blood.- - 970461 e: RecolUctiow, IMPERIAL PARILAXE3 HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at quarter past 12. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (No. 1) BILL. Sir MORTON PETO moved " that the order for the second reading on Monday next be read and discharged, and that the bill be read a second time to-morrow." He complained that the hon. member for Stafford (Alderman Sydney) yesterday, acting for the City of London, took a step with respect to this bill without communicating with the agents, utterly opposed to the ordinary practise of the house, and which he was quite justified in stigmatising as more like the practises of sharp barristers at the Old Bailey than worthy of a member of that house, to which, he apprehended, an apology was due. The course he had adopted in no way affected the viaduct over Ludgate-hill. Mr. Alderman SY DIV I EY said he took the step he did as an independent member. He desired to prevent the dis figuration of the town. If, however, the parties would per mit tne city authorities to appear against the bill in com mittee, he would support the rescinding of his motion of yesterday. Mr. MASSEY intimated that on Monday he would propose the standing orders be suspended, so that the bill could be proceeded with in the ordinary way, and without classification. After some discussion the motion was withdrawn on this understanding. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILL. Mr. EWART, in moving the second reading of this into e b t fl e l, enteredhtto e country a at some length into its purpose. The object g ttainoefd the by andwa metthrieeeilnter3osotriemction this of cesstully in France and several weights and measures, which ol had the lo e n on g t r n e e r n k t e el d e v o e ue ry t a r n ie c s : The system would facilitate trade, u and be . found most use fulit adopted, n san w d oo m m th h in keeping the national accounts the revenue. The plan,tleocthieontwo! e av c e el ac companied by a decimal system t ce' Isir. BAINES seconded the motion. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill, because its inconveni ences would tar outweigh its conveniences. Mr. LOOKE dwelt upon the anomalies ' in the present system of weig hts and measures, es p eciall y u pon the absurd difference between troy and avoirdupois weight, and the w ine bottles of the continent, especially of Germany. He s hould vote for the sec ond reading, because it would be a step in the right direction, but should be glad to see the subject referred to a select committee so the' it might be thoroughly investigated. Mr. P. URQUHART supported the bill. The various weights and measures throughout the country were ve r y i confusing, and to bring them all nto =tonality was iia peratively demanded. The introduction of the new system into the Government establishments would save X 500,000 a year, which would enable the Government to reduce the income tax i halfpenny in the pound. Mr. ADDERLEY supported the bill. The time had arrived when a new and common sense system ought to be adopted, which would lead to an enormous augmentation of the wealth of the country . Mr. BAINES strongly supporte d the bill, and qu . oted the opinions ot the various Chambers of Commerce inte rested in the home and foreign trade in its favour. Re held that it would not be difficult to introduce the system into our schools. Sir M. r ALQUHAR considered that this bill would work well, if endowed with a permissive character, so that the people might become gradually used to it. He appre hended that there was no hope ot the bill being passed in the present session ; he trusted, however, his hon. friend would re- introduce it next year, and he was satisfied that so excellent a measure would meet with very liberal sup- port. Mr. HUBBARD denied that the manifold benefits indi cated had sprung out of the decimal system, and neither would ite adoption in the future. He was in favour of leaving things as they were. Mr. COBDEN was in favour of the decimal system. All enlightened men, except perhaps Lord Overstone, were in favour of the change. The witnesses examined before the committee last year, of which he was a member, were over whelming in its favour—some of theni, Professor de Morgan among the number, testifying that its :adoption would save half the time of boys at school, as far as arithmetic was concerned. When engaged in Pails during a period of six months on the international treaty his time was greatly occupied in changing the description of prices from one language to the other, and he confessed that he felt humiliated at the dislocated, incoherent, and inconsistent nature of the English system as contrasted with the logical, symmetrical, and consistent plan adopted in France. They were all agreed that the system of weights and measures ought to be altered, and as it was full of absurd anomalies and illogical disagreements, no time should be lost in introducing an amended system like the one proposed. A new system must, however, include a decimal system of coinage. There were difficulties in the transition of course, but the Board of Trade could easily overcome that difficulty. A facile list of equivalents would easily be understood. He appealed to his right hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade (Mr. M. Gibson) to re solutely take the matter in hand. Mr. FERRAND held that if the measure was to be com pulsory, it ought to be compensatory also. Small shop keepers and others ought to be reimbursed the value of their weights. Mr. M. GIBSON had not a word to say against the me trical system, but he feared that a compulsory measure, with a combination of new names for old ones, would not at once be very acceptable. The committee which sat on the subject reported to this effect. He feared the public was not prepared for so sweeping a change as the one suggested. The avoirdupois pound and the standard yard were the only legal measures ; all others were illegal, and penalties could be recovered by a common informer. He could not consent to a compulsory measure, and advised ihe hon. member to withdraw it and introduce a permissive bill. It took Portugal ten years to pione , r the system, and now they were about to make it compulsory, bat if we were expected to act differently in this country, all he could sa) , was that he feared it would be requisite to call out the volunteers to enforce it. Mr. BAZLEY supported the bill. He said the decimal system was then used in the customs and excise so as to arrive at general quantities. Mr. ROE BUt. K hoped the Government would consent to the second reading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government would only delude the house it they ventured to give any encouragement to a compulsory measure. Mr. HODGSON asked the bon member (Mr. E wart) if he would consent, in committee, to omit the compulsory powers sought ? Mr. J. B. SMITH supported the bill, as also did Colonel Sr S• Mr. EWART would withdraw the bill, if the Govern ment would facilitate it in the schools and elsewhere. of Mr. M. GIBBON could not, off hand, give any Pledge the kind. Th e SOLICITOR-GENERAL said was alta n t ai ak s e or t ; it s peak of a compulsory clause—the bill wss ''' throuhout.

Archbishop Felinski has been banished to Jaras law. Major Krasinski, the Bishop of Wilna, was sent to Dunaburg, and afterwards to Perms. A desperate engagement between the insurgents and the Russians took place on the 26th ult., at Pedborze, in the Palatinate of Kalisch. An engagement also took place on the 23d in Pordachia. The Russians subtained considerable losses in an engagement on the 24th at Kolo. Marshal Niel is now at Rochelle witnessing ex periments of firing against the iron-cased walls of Fort d' Enette, which, although battered in breach at 700 metres' range, have hitherto resisted all the shot of the Prilio !bat ing battery. The Marshal is himself to direct some fresh means of attack. The Journal des Landes states that a fated acci dent occurred a few days back, during a bull fight, at the fete of Grenade, in that department. A MR, named Palocque, entered the arena to fight a bull well known for its fierceness, t.nd was instantly so fearfully gored in the left side by the animal that he died ten minutes afterwards. How LADY MARY " FOUND OUT" INOCULA TION.—At a time when small-pox was as destruc tive as the plague itself, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu happening to be at Adrianople, was struck with the fact that the Turks were in the habit of making terms with the disease, by receiving it into their system by way of the skin, instead of by the lungs, as in the natural mode of in fection. Possibly the lively nature of the lady's letters had more to do with the sensation this new practice created in England than the magnitude of the truth she made known, and to this day WO believe that the public have some ides that it was a discovery made by her ladyship, and which she had the boldness to put in practice upon her own son. Yet no fact is more certain than that throughout Asia the practice of inoculation had obtained for ages—and that the Chinese—the inevitable nation to which we have always to go back for the birth of any great discovery—systemati cally employed inoculation as early as the sixth century. Yet strange to say, in Asia this precious knowledge came to a dead stand still—and had it not been for the lively English lady, inoculation might not have been introduced into Eng land for another half century, an d possibly vaccination would even now be in the womb of "le' That inocula tion was a grand step towards the practice of vaccination there can be little doubt, although science did net at the same time appreciate the fact.
