ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The inducement to utilise the abundance of capi tal which discounters have now at their command, even at a smaller profit than to allow it :o lie un productive, is significantly shown by the decline Which has recently taken plice in the rates. The public are now enabled to obtain accommodation for three months' bills at 7 and 71 per cent,, while bankers' acceptances for short periods are negotiable at 71 per cent. This concession is important, but the commercial public aro loth to take advantage of the facilities offered them, because they believe that by bolding back they will force the brokers to Work cheaper, hence the very moderate demand Vhich prevails for monetary assistance. There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday. At the last meeting of the Soc'e'e. Financiere a'Egypte, held in Paris, a dividend equal to 121 Per cent. was declared, bat the payment awaits the Confirmation by the Egyptian Government of the resolutions adopted by the meeting. Tne account s f rom th e var i ous manu f ac t ur i ng dis tricts during the past week have been of a less satis factory character. At Manchester both cloths and Yarns have been in very limited request. In the Woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field tha chief operations have been in winter fabrics at about previous rates. At Leicester and Notting ham there has been a fair amount of business entered into, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton only limited transactions have been re. ported in the various departments. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 661 . . 40c. Firm. A decline of 1 per cent. has taken place this morning in the English Funds. This downward movement has been produced by sales which have been rather heavily presEed. The small attendance of members and their clients has also an adverse effect. Consols for money are 881 89, and at 891 1 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 ; the Annuities, 1885, 14.1 I; Exchequer Bills, 255. to 15s. die.; and India 5 per Cents., 1031 104 i.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue at about previous quotations. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in limited demand, without material alteration as regards values. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

MAR: Day. MARK-LANE. In the country markets, held on S aturday, an increased amount of business ws.s transacted in new wheat, at the late decline in the quotations. Old wheat, however, com manded but little attention, yet prices ruled firm. For barley, oats, beans, and peas, there was a steady demand, at full quotations. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. The New York Market has ruled heavy for wheat and flour, at lower prices. On the continent, the wheat trade continues quiet. Small supplies of English produce were received up to our market, last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 5,421 quarters of wheat ; 2,962 barley ; 62,890 oats ; 463 peas; 29 tares; 1,346 oilseeds; 110 sundry seeds, and 3,815 barrels of flour. The supply of old and new English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day was but moderate. The quality of the produce was good, and both red and white qualities were in improved request, at the late decline in the quota tions, the bulk of the ,supply being disposed of at last Mon day's urrency. There was a full average supply of most descriptions of 'oreign wheat on the stands. On the whole the trade ruled steady, and previous quotations were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, a full quotations. The supply of old English barley on sale was very small, but there was a moderate show of new qualities on offer The trade ruled far from active, at about previous rates. New produce sold at 32s to 37s per quarter. In malt a limited business was transacted, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was large. The trade, how ever, was active, and prices advanced, in some instances, 6d per quarter. The tew beans on offer changed hands at very full prices. There was a parcel of two lcng pods on sale, deficient in BiZ3. Peas ruled firm at fully last week's currency. In flour—both English and foreign—only a moderate business was transacted. Prices, however, ruled stationary.

Mr. Darling, a manufacturing jeweller, said the prisoner was employed by him as traveller, and the prisoner had taken away a large number of articles, and marked them in his book as left on approbation with customers, which he (Mr. Darling) found not to be the case. Amongst the articles prisoner had marked five pairs of earrings as left with Messrs. London and Ryder on approbation, but he had found that they had not been left. The prisoner yesterday told him all the articles, including some bracelets, were pledged in the Edgware-read, and that he would give him every assistance in getting his property back. He (Mr. Darling) wished the prisoner remanded, as he had not time yet, the prisoner only being taken into custody yesterday, to get his evidence together._ The prisoner said he would admit the truth of the:charge, and that what Mr. Darling had said was true.

The pri soner rec.ivecl the money, but never accounted for it, which he ought to have done, and he saw no more of the prisoner till he was in custody. Mr Smart, manager at Mersrs.

Madgett, 74 S, proved taking the prisoner into custody. In answer to the charge the prisoner said it was quite right but that he thought his fathtr had settled it. The pri.oner, who had no defence, was committed for trial. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To•day's market was somewhat heavily supplied with each kind of foreign stock, chiefly in middling condition. Sales, therefore, progressed slowly, at barely late rate. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were seasonably extensive. Their general quality, how ever, was by no means first-rate. Prime Scots, shorthorns, Herefords, and Devons sold freely, at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Otherwise, the beef trade was inactive, on former terms. A few very su perior Scots realised 5s 2d, but the general top figure was 5s per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and northern counties we received 2,700 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 various breedh ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 105 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was rather extensive, but mostly all breeds came to hand in middling condition. Good and prime Downs, half-breds, and Kents, changed hands freely, and the currencies had an improved tendency—the extreme rate for the former breed being 5a 6d per 81bs. Otherwise the mutton trade was somewhat heavy, at late rates. Prime lambs were scarce, and in request, at very full prices. Inferior lambs were dull. The quotations ranged from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Blbs. Calves were in fair average supply and sluggish request at late rates, viz., 4s to 5s per Bibs. In pigs very littlo was doing, at last week's prices. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

The accounts from the plantations vary considerably, but on the whole they may be considered satisfactory. The demand for last year's • hope continues steady, and prices rule firm; but in older hops very little is doing, and the quotations rule next to nominal. A few parcels of new Kent hops have arrived at market since our last, and havk sold at £3 per cwt. The import last week was 100 bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. The arrivals of home-grown potatoes have increased, but the supply of foreign produce on sale is small.

The public sales of colonial wool have gone off slowly since our last, Home buyers have, however, continued to operate somewhat freely ; but very little wool has been taken for export either to America or the continent.

It is announced that the sales will be brought to a close on the 31st inst. The trade for Eng lish wool, owing to the eseier rates for money in the open market, has ruled somewhat more active. In prices nt, quotable change from last week has taken place. The Particulars. I 1850. 1861 I 1862. 1863. 1864.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE. — John Jacobs, Patrick Barry, and Henry Barton, the eldest 22, the youngest 20, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting a police constable named Denton, 166 K. The policeman, who was in great pain, and whose head and f :co were bruised, said that on Saturday night at half past 12 o'ciock, two lads were fighting in the Whitechapol Road, and upwards of 300 disorderly persons who had re cently came out of the ncighbauting public houses, beer shops, and concert rooms, wet e assembled near them, He told the lads to desi,t, and parted them. Barry said they should have another round. He begged of him not to interfere. Barry said he would interfere if he thought proper, and threatened to punch his --- head. At the same time Jacobs struck him a vi dent blow on the face, which caused his nose and mouth to bleed. He collared Jacobs and they had a violent struggle. Both tell on the ground, aril while they wore rolling over each other Barry said, "Look at the murdering swine," and kicked him twice on the hip. Jacobs called out, "Give it the -" and he was severely kicied about the head and body. Two gentlemen interfered and kept the mob back. He asked Jacobs, who was on the ground, if he would be quiet he would allow hint to get up. Jacobs said, " No, I won't, I will kill you if I can get at you." He was struck and kicked by several others, and should have been killed if other assistance had not arrived. His hat was lost and kicked about the streets. Henry Rosenburg, a clothier, stated that ho saw Barton kick the constable when he was doWn, and told him he should mark him, He pointed out the prisoner among the people collected outside the station-house, and he was captured. Other evidence was given, and it appeared that it re- quired the united exertions of eight policemen to convey him to the district. Mr Paget said the police constables in his district had a dangerous and difficult duty to perfoirn, and must be pro tected. The,prisoners had committed a cowardly and savage assault on the constable, for which he sentenced them to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. The conduct of Rosenburg was deserving of great praise. He wished all " Christians" would act in the same manner when the police were ill-used. THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS. Yesterday afternoon a special report was received from ice Insp ectorhat Tanner, the chief of the detective arrived by t h e City o f Manchester stea mer at New York, hadpol at Scotland-yard, L on d on, stating that he safely in company with Sergeant Clarke, also of the detective police, and the two w i tnesse s who went out f or the purpose o f identi fying the supposed murderer, Muller. Chief In spector Tanner , up on his arrival at New York, put tn communication dreeeived from them every with the Government possibleand himsel f po l i ce in assistance. 4 T h e most complete arrange ments have been made to effect Muller's capture upones e l beinghe arrival kept readiness,th Victoria, a special steam v with steam up night and day, to start th e mome nt the Victoria is sighted, in ord er ts t the pilot-boat may be anticipated, lest by any mischance in formati on should reach Muller that the officers of justice are on h is track—it being of i n reared that he m i g ht in des p er ation seek by suicide to evade justice. A s a p roof t hat the police took their measures wit h well grounded confidence, we further learn from Inspector Tanner's report that Inspector Kerrissey, who followed with the second warrant in the City of Cork steamer, had arrived out safely. BISHOP POLK' s FUNERAL.--Bishop Elliott de iivered an address at t he funeral of Lieut.-Gen. Polk, and at its close left the desk, and, turning his face to the North, solemnly summoned such of the bishops an d c l erg y of the North as have urged on this war to meet him and their victims at the Judgment bar there to answer it—" In the name of the episcopal office of the dead ; in the name of the blood that, like that of Abel, called aloud from the ground for vengeance on those who lend the sanction of the Church to this crusade ; in the name of desolated homes and blackened roof-treee, of desecrated churches, of altars pro faned and the Holy Sacrament trampled in the mire; in the name and by the authoritY oi God, and by the enchant ing spell-word evoked from the presence of the mangled and martyred dead. And (added th bishop in the pro found silence) God have mercy upon then: in that day !" ENoCLI ARDEN.--Seventeen thoust..nd copies were struck off as the first impression, says the London lie view, and the whole of these were delivered to the trade on Saturday week and Monday last. A second impression of 10,000 is now in the press, and of these, it is conjectured, but few will be unsold by the end of the present week. HENRY FELIX JOHN RECANO, E d -., Li of the Kiddie Temple, Barrister at Law, is 'Duce more announced, we observe, in the official paper at Gibraltar to :rave assumed the position of Judge of the Supreme :'curt. • here during the temporary absence of Sir James CochreNe. rhe London friends of the former hon. and learned gentle- - 'nen will be interested to read the subjoined announce cent of the fact above alluded to, an announcement pub ished under date Auguet 8, 1864, in the Gibraltar Chro nide. We, therefore, reprint it as follows :—" His Excel lency the Acting Governor has been pleased to appoint Henry Felix John Recano, Esq., of the Middle Temple, London, Barrister at Law, to act as : Judge of the Suprerm Court of Gibraltar during the absence of Sir Jas, Cochrane, Knight, and he Was this day sworn into office," SPORTING NOTES. The meeting at Egham and Oxford were only noticeable for the knocking about of East Lancashire and Welcome for the Great Ebor Handicap, and their ultimate return into favour. The Great Yorkshire carnival commences to morrow and extends over three days. The most important race to be decided is the Great Yorkshire, where Blair Athol and General Peel will fight their Derby battle over again, but this time at a difference of 71b. in favour of the latter. The Convivial Stakes, in the absence of Gardevisure, will be won by Wild Agnes. Claremont ought to have no difficulty in securing the Three-Yeer-Old Biennial, and Clarior the Burgundy Stakes, as Blue Mantle will scarcely like the distance. The Yorkshire Oaks would be a mere canter for Fiile de l'Air, if she returns in time from the continent. In her absence Tool-Tool will win. On Wednesday, the Filly Sapling Stakes will be found at the top of the card, and cut of the 15 fillies nominated there is none with any pretentions to compete with Siberia. The Prince of Wales's Stakes, also for two-year-olds, has nineteen entries, and the issue may be much affected by the running of Tuesday. At present, however, Gontran, having beaten Spring Gun at Liverpool, should just pull through. The Great Ebor Handicap is not a had specimen of Mr Johnson's abilities; and the early backers of horses have suffered as much by their precipitancy in investing, as they did in the Northumberland Plate, Liverpool Cup, and Goodwood Stakes. Of those that played a conspicuous part in the betting before retiring into private life may be mentioned Hymettus, Caller On, East Lancashire, and Alabama. For the former being scratched no reason has been assigned, but the decline of East Lancashire has been accounted for by his being unable to be gone on with in the present state of the ground. Caller Ou has retrograded because of her journey to Egham ; and at one time there was a report that 'Welcome had followed in the track of the other favou rites. For this statement, however, there was not the slightest foundation, as no horse has been doing better work since Nottingham. The starters will in all likeli hood comprise among others the following:— Caller Ou East Lancashire.... 4 Welcome Dzspair Revolver Donnybrook, 0r.... 4 The Tartar Me Clown .. 3 Raglan Siva .. 3 ...... 5 12 Higbflyer dam .... 3 Fiagaro, or Alabama Nemo 3 ...... 5 7 Caller Ou, although carrying the top weights, is far from out of the fray, were it not for certain parties who are never tired of laying against the old mare. Were things amicably arranged before they face the starter she would be my sole representative. Welcome, with the assistance of Fordham, must be near winning. This horse has underwent one of those finishing preparations for which John Scott is so cele brated. East Lancashire, after having been knocked about, is again firm in the market, but I think he must be getting stale. If in anything like the form when ho ran Dollar to half a length he must be there or thereabout at the finish. Donnybrook and The Tartar are both under a cloud, and it would not astonish me to see one of them come to the re- list of the fielders. There is none more likely to upset the favourites than ono of the pair. Raglan is very lightly han dicapped for a 4-yr-old, and if he cannot win in the com pany :hat will oppose him he ought to be turned out of training. The Daniel o'Rourke colt has been occasionally backed, but on Saturday a hostile demonstration set in against him, and doubts aro entertained that he may not even see the starter. The race, in my opinion, will end in a match between RAGLAN and WELCOME, and when the numbers go up I shall expect the judge to place-- WELCOME 1 RAGLAN 2 EAST LANCASHIRE.... The Great Yorkshire, to be contested on Thursday, will produce about six runners, comprising Blair Athol, Gen. Peel, Claremont (a stable companion of Baragab, evi dently in reserve for the St. Lager), Ely, Guerilla, Paris, and probably Hymettus. The race will be a match between General Peel and Claremont, giving a slight preference to the former, as I do not believe Blair Athol can give 71bs to either of the two. Rapid Rhone should win the Cup, next to whom I shall expect Caller Ou. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING-SATURDAY. The recent movements in the Turf market upon certa'n horses in the Great Ebor Handicap have been somewhat perplexing, and, as the day for the deciAon of the race approaches, the industrious ones do not let the grass grow under their heels in the "game of speculation.'' First and foremost of those animals whose gyrations in the list of quotations have been the most eccentric is Caller-Ou, and since her last victory at Eghain her "up-and-down" posi tion is still snore inexplicable. At Oxford, on Friday, as much as 200 to 15 was laid, while at the same time any thing over 8 to 1 would have been snatched up'eagerly in town. This afternoon, at the Victoria Club, there was a slight skirmish in the way of betting; but no harm was done on either side, and all the business actually done as well as proposed will be found in the subjoined list cf closing prices : THE GREAT EBOR HANDICAP. 100 to 30 agst East Lancashire (taken and offered) sto 1 agst 'Welcome (offered; take 5± to 1) sto 1 agst Raglan (offered) 7to 1 agst Highflyer dam colt (off.; Bto taken) 100 to 7 agst Caller Ou (taken) 100 to 7 agst Donnybrook (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Clown (offered) 100 to 80 on East Laneashire,Welcome, and Raglan (take) 35 to 20 agst East Lanchire and Welcome—wanted 25 to agst East Lancashire being first, second, or third (t) THE ST.

Therefore goon wino leads to heaven.— IF i ne Trade Review. THE DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF CHILDREN IN W. HITECHAPEL.—An explanation of this cir cumstance is given by the parochial authorities. It appears that the churchyard being now closed the churchwardens determined upon pulling down the bone house in one cor ner of the ground, and have the walls on that side repaired so as to present a more seemly appearance. In the bone house the ground had also been dug up between two and three feet, and in the earth were the remains of coffins which contained the bodies of children, The remains dis covered in the ground of the bone house were again de cently interred in the course of Friday afternoon in the presence of Messrs. Hawkins and Cuff, the church wardens. THE TUORNBURY MURDER.—The execution of the criminal Louis Gough has, it is believed, been fixed, and will probably take place at the end of this week; o t a desire txists on the part of the officials to prevent as niu , , h as possible the assembling of a large crowd, and so well h ave the "secrets of the prison-house" been kept that the day as not transpired. It is known that Calcraft will be the executioner, and that he will arrive in town the day w o o the execution and sleep in the gaol, and that the place in the morning as early as pos. execution will take sil,le, according t; law. Business don OCT , Rioting in Jersey. It is many years since the Island of Jersey was the scent of such tumult and rioting as on Wednesday and Thursday nights last, ending in destruction of property and risk t the lives of hundreds of the Queen's subjects. Mr T. G. Owens, of London, had undertaken to deliver, in the Prince of Wales Assembly-rooms, a course of three lectures on " Bible Truths and Romish Errors." The first was delivered on Tuesday evening, and efforts were then made by a num ber of Roman Catholics to seize the lecturer, whose life they had threatened. In this they were foiled by a few friends of Mr Owens, who secured his escape by a side entrance to tho hall. On Wednesday night, however, the part which was played by the mob proved of a most serious character. Soon ef (er seven o'clock a large number of Roman Catholics, many of them armed with bludgeons, collected at the door of the lecture hall, end commenced yelling and hooting. They were aided and urged on by between 9 0 and 30 women of the low Irish class, Atter creating immense uproar out site they smashed the windows of the hall by throwing stones through them, while some of the women yelleo Fire : Fire l" The audience, many of whom were ladies, now became greatly alarmed, and Mr O wens, who had been lecturing upon " Indulgences," did all that lay in his power to prevent a panic. He stood upon the plalf,rtn, and was in the act of entreating all to keep their seats, when a large stone came smash through the window opposite to him, upon which he qu'ckly gathered up his books and papers and took refuge in a small room at the end of the hall whither he was followed by all who failed to make their escape by the front entrance from the dangers of the falling glass and missiles. The proprietor of the hall now extin guished the lights, and Mr 0 wens and between 30 and 40 of the audience (some of the ladies in a fainting condition) remained prisoners in this ante-room. As the most serious consequences to life and property were now apprehended, more policemen were ordered to the place. A large num- bar of the inhabitants also came forward and watched the ringleaders closely. Efforts were made to capture two or three of the most active, but without success. The Ro man Catholics, seeing the dangers by which they wEra now surrounded, ceased their yellings, and upon a signal being given formed in procession and marched along the street hooting and cheering. On Thursday morning Mr Owens and other gentlemen waited upon the Lieut-Governor of the island (Major-General Burke Cuppage) at Government House, and stated the circumstances to his excellency. This led to an interview with the bailiff (Mr G. Hammond), and the constable or mayor of the town (Mr John Gibaut). The whole of the honorary and paid police were now summoned, and arrangements were now made for calling out the mili tary from Fort Regent. Shortly before 7 o'clock on Thurs day evening at least 500 persons collected in front of the Assembly Rnoins, expecting admission to Mr Owens' third lecture. That gentleman arrived at 7 o'clock, but the pro prietor of the rooms (Mr Moos) determinedly refused to open the doors, and Mr Owens eventually left greatly dis satisfied, but not before he had addressed the assemblage outside. A few minutes after he left the constable of the parish, who was accompanied by a strong body of the honorary and paid police,arrived and ordered that the lecture hall should be thrown open. This was instantly done. lie then asked for tho lecturer, and on being informed that he had just left because he could not gain admission, directed messengers to go in search of him and bring him as soon as possible. In the interval the lecture hall became densely crowded, and there were at least 1,500 persons outside un- OA to gain admission, Mr Owens soon made his appear ance, On passing to the platform he was loudly cheered. After condemning the disgraceful outrage which had been perpetrated on the previous night, he said that, rather than see the Protestant flag lowered one inch ha would lay his head upon the block. (Cheers.) After cordially thanking so many hundreds of the inhabitants for coming forward as one man to maintain and defend the right of free discussion, he proceeded with his lecture, the subject of which was "Transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass." The audience cheered him repeatedly, and as no improper inter ruption or violence was offered all ended in peace. At the conclusion of the lecture the constable and his force escorted Mr Owens through the principal streets, followed by an immense crowd, who cheered lustily. No further rioting took place, and long ere midnight arrived all excitement , hal died away. I The Grand Duchess of Russia, accompanied by Baron Brunnow, the Rdssian Ambassador, visited this morning the Reading Room at the British Museum. The Princess, who was attended during her visit by Mr Panizzi, the head librarian, remained for a long time on the building, and appeared to derive from her visit very great gratification. SALMON FISHING IN THE NESS.—The lower part of the Ness has ceased to be so productive as it was during last week, owing priucipally to the fall in the volume of water, yet Mr. Maclean and Mr. Tait continue to get a good haul occasionally. Farther up the anglers have had excellent sport. Mr. Baillie, of Ley, caught a salmon and three grilse, and on the Holm water Messrs. Dennison and Reeve have been very successful, having killed 17 fish, principally grilse, The Beauly fishings have turned out remarkably well for the season, In February the export, including boxes and ice, was 10 ewt ; March, 1 ton 13 cwt ; April, 2 tons 2 cwt; May, 1 ton 14 cwt; June, 4 tons 12 cwt ; July, 26 tons 4 cwt. ; and in the first 10 days of August, 3 tons 11 cwt 3 qrs—altogether more than 40 tons of fish.—lnveeness Adrottser. NUREMBERG'S PROMISED MONUMENT TO STONE= WALL JACKSON.—The way in which Nuremberg has came to promise it is rather curious. A young man from Nuremberg, named Volk, emigrated to America as journey man cocper. After arriving there his early passion for art grew stronger; he made ske'ehes for illustrated papers, and gradually became a self-taught artist. The war found him at Baltimore, whence he wandered south, and was en gaged as a draughtsman on the staff of one of the Southern generals, Ho had made a bust of Stonewall Jackson from a mask which he took from the dead face; and when the monument was put up to competition by the Southern Government the young German artist won the prize. But even then be had to find means for executing his work, and for this he ran a ship laden with cotton through the blockade and brought it to Europe, where the sale of the cotton gave him the funds required. He is now at work on the monu ment, which represents the geheral on horseback, a flue Arabian steed from Stuttgart serving as a model for the horse; Jackson's left hand holding the reins, his right rest ing calmly On his hip, and his whole bearing characterises by native boldness and energy.

SIR ANDREW AGNEW'S BROAD HINTS ! (A PnovEnn A HUNDRED YEARS AGO).—The knight had been troubled for some time by an impertinent intruder before a friend was able to congratulate him on being rid of his company. "Air," he replied, "I was obliged to give ' the loon a broad hint." "A broad hint 1" said the friend, " why, I thought he was one of those who would never take any hint." "By my faith," rejoined Sir Andrew, " but he was forced to take it; for as the chiel would na gang out at the door, I just threw him out at the window," A LITTLE LIFE OF ROBSON, the recetaly+ deceased comedian, is announced to appear from the pen o Mr George Augustus Sala. DIE ENCOURAGEMENT OF GENIUS.—The City Press states that at the late tr eating of the Holborn Union Board of Guardians—Mr Southee in tho chair—a letter was received from Mr Leslie, secretary to the National Collegaof Music, stating that " being anxious to assist de serving but pcor children who may possess great musical so as to place them is a position to earn their own living, thsy propose giving gratuitous instruction to snch children. If therefore, you havd any such in your Union, and are willing on their part to accept this offer, I shall be obliged if you will favour me with a communication on the sub ject."—Mr Young said he thought they had bettu learn them the use of the scrubbing-brush,—The Chairman said the object appearel to be to invite and assist genius. lie would like to see an institution to assist boys of other kinds of genius. It was well known that the genius of Chantrey was only discovered accident ally, while he was keeping cons and cutting a knobstick. A gentleman saw what he was doing, and examined it, and was so much pleased with it that he assisted him in his studies, and the boy afterwards became the eminent Sir Francis Chantrey.—The Clerk (Mr. James) said if ser vants were bad, it was not because they were educated, but through other causes.—The Chairman said ignorance never made a servant better than education, Inquiries were ordered to be made:of the Schoolmaster as to any children in the hence of a musical genius.

It appeared that the prisoner, who was 25 years in Durand's service, had acquired a great ascendancy over him, especially after he became infirm through old age, and in May, 1863, she induced him to make a will leaving her the whole of his property, amount rag to about 5,000 fr. She effected this the more easily that the old man had only distant relatives whom he seldom saw. Oa the 13th July last Durand died, after a very short illness, during which he complained that his food often tasted of phosphorus. The authorities havin g been informed of that fact, a post-mortem examine,. lion was ordered, and a considerable quantity of phos phorus was found in the body of the deceased. It was also ascertained that a Pig belonging. to Durand had died from the same poison two days previously. Suspicion immediately fell on the prisoner, who was the only persnn having an interest in Durand's death, and if; was soon ascertained that she had purchased at different tim es two pots of phosphoric paste of a chemistin a neighb ouring town, stating that it was for a farmer named Vaunte r , who wanted it to kill rats. The latter, however, denied that he hEtd ever g i ven h er " any such commission. It appears that th e contents of the first pot were given to the pig to test the ei%cpsetercicysooondfza and the poison, that thehn adt pastethatshe wastwh i e t hi p n r hn i s eo o rc u em e n r at: thenter ands bought dnofeoide the n that The her m aster had died from poison, but the jury, deeming the evidence conclusive, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the Court sentenced her to hard labour for life.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appers that gold is nearly 3 -I(..ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

The son of a farmer in that district descended by a ladder into an old well for the purpose of examining the discharge pipe. He fell from the ladder, when his brother went to assist him. He also fell, and a third person present shouted for help, hut only in time to rescue one of the brothers. The other was suffocated by the foul air in the well. Mr Nelson Girdlestone, who ; since the retirement of the late chief clerk, has undertaken the onerous duties which fall to the share of the official immediately under the Storekeeper-General of the Navy, has received an acting appointment, which, although it does not promote him over the heats of his seniors, will enable him to stand in the same position to Mr Dundas as did the lamented Mr 3. R. Clark —Army and ./Vavy Gazale CURIOUS CASE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT.—Tbe daughter of a furniture broker, a good-looking girl of about 20, was fined £lO for contempt of Court on Saturday by mr J. B. Aspinall, the Recorder of Liverpool. A writ was served upon the girl's mother in a wrong name. The daughter, altnough she had nothing to do with the action, appeared at the Court of passage as the defendant, and sought to obtain a verdict on the technical point that the writ had been served on the wrong person. The Recorder said the girl knew perfectly well that the writ was intended for her mother, and she had resorted to this tt ick to mislead the Court ; the correctness of the name was immaterial, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff. ABDUCTION.—At the Leeds Assizes on Thursday Hudson Brook, labourer, was charged with unlaw fully taking Mary Bradshaw out of the possession and against the will of Henry Ward, her employer, who had the lawful charge of her, and also against the will of her father and mother. Mr. West was for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheelhouse for the defence. The prisoner had lived same time in the house of the girl's father at Bramhope, near Otley, and previous to his leaving his lodgings, the young woman had gone to the service of Mr. Ward, of Woodhouse Carr, near Leeds. The acquaintance, therefore, between the prisoner, who is 35 years of age, and the girl, whose age at the time was only 15, must have commenced in her father's house. On the 22d April, the girl suddenly left her master's house, cud she and the prisoner had subsequently been living to get.her as man and wife at Bradford. The girl, on being exam ,:ned, stated that she met the prisoner by appointment Bridge, on the 22d of April, and they went to at Apps rieY gether to the Waterloo Inn, at Bradford, where they lodged together as itan and wife. In cross-examination the girl admitted that when she met the prisoner at first he told her she had taken a foolish step, and tried to induce her to go back home. The j1.77y found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentencet; to 3 months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MYSTERY. —By the mail which left England for Tasmania on the 17th install the police have forwarded to the widaw of the supposed victim who was alluded to in the correspondence referring to this subject, which has been recently published in the Daily Telegraph, carefully-take n and coloured photographs of the coat and waistcoat, and the carpet bag in w hi ch, with certain human rem ains, the y were found when the bag was found on one of the buttresses of Waterloo Bridge.

NEWSPAPERS BY RAILWAY. —The Caledonian Railway has just adopted a plan for the transmis sion o f s ingle copies of newspapers by rail which is likely to prove of great use to newspaper readers on that line over the localit es it treverses. The system is simply an issue of farthing stamps, prepared after the fashion of postage stamps; perforated and gumed like these, they are sold in sheets containing a dozen, the price of the sheet being of course threepence. The stamp bears the impress:—" Caledonian Railway. No. (ewe) 2586. For one newspaper only. To be called for by con signee at the station on the Caledonian Railway to which it is addressed." To all subscribers who can conveniently send for their newspapers at any station on the Caledonian line we are now enabled by this system to transmit the paper by the first mornin g t ra i n at a cost of d. per day for carriage-that is, at a f ourt h o f the cog of po stage. Besides residents on the line, gent l emen in b us i nes s wha may de sire to read the p a p er i n the train on t h e i r way to town in the morning may thus arrange to have it waiting them at the station from which they start. It to be hoped that other lines w%iil not be slow in following the Caledonian in the adoption of this simple and convenient plan.—tiro a. man, PURCHASE OF ENGLISH THOROUGHBREDS FOR.
