NEY MARKET AND CONAIERCIAL INTELLIGENCEI TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market this morning shows no par. ticular feature. The capital in the hands of the various monetary establishments continues sufficient for current requirements, and as an average inquiry for accommcdation is experienced, the brokers are charging 81 per cent. for the negotiation of the best bills. The stoppige was announced on Saturday of the Leeds Binking Company, their London agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., having returned their bills. The failure was announced of Messrs. Dawson, Graham, and Pligh, colorial produce agents, with liabilities said to amount to £25,000. About 20,000 sovereigns were taken out of the Bank on Saturday for transmiesion to the Mauritius. The share certificates of the St. Nazaire Company (Limited) are now ready to be exchanged for the letters of allotment and bankers' receipts. Notice is given that the bonds representing the Four and a Half per Cent. Swedish Government Loan for £2,223,000 have been received, and will be ready for issuo on and after Thursday next, the 22d inst. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Callum -street, who recently suspended, has been convened for Tuesday. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business has been very dull. At Alanchester, both cloths and yarns have been neglected, and prices have given way to a considerable extent. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been little animation, with out, however, any material change as regards prices. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have remained steady, while at Birmingham, ShEffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance. Two O'CLOCK.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, at drooping prices. Tha barley trade was in a very inactive state, on easier terms. Oats were likewise cheaper, but other kinds of produce were steady in price. On the Continent, as well as in America, wheat has been drooping, with a heavy export demand. In other articles a fair average business has been transacted, at mostly full prices. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were moderate. From abroad we received 42,458 quarters of wheat, 6,441 barley, 32,022 oats, 3,021 rye, 1,339 peas, 268 tares, 6,144 linseed, 10,900 rapeseed, 2,550 maize, 550 sacks, and 50,795 barrels of flour. Including the samples left over ft om last week, the supply of wheat on sale here to-day, from Essex and Kent, was moderately good, and the quality of the produce was very fine. Owing chiefly to the large influx of foreign grain and flour, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in a very inactive state, and in some instances the quo tations gave way is per quarter. At that decline a clearance was with difficulty effected. We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. The trade was heavy ; never theless, selected qualities were held at full quotations. All other kinds were lower to purchase. In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were on a limited scale at barely late rates. The show of barley was tolerably good. The inquity for all descriptions was heavy, and the quotations gave way Is to 2a per quarter. Malt was in fair average supply and moderate request, at late rates. We were well supplied with foreign oats. The oat trade was heavy, at a decline in the currencies of 6d per quarter. Beans commanded very full prices, with a fair demand. The few peas on cffer moved off steadily, at extreme rates. We have to report a dull sale for both English and foreign flour, at slightly reduced quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer here to day was seasonably large as to number, bat the quality of the stock was very middling. On the whole the trade was steady, at full quotations, From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were good. The general condition of the supply, however, was by no means prime. Prime Scots, Herefords, Devons, &c., moved off steadily, at very full prices, to a slight advance, Inferior stock was dull, but not cheaper. The best Soots and crosses realised fully 5s 2d por 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to abot“ 2,500 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 860 various breeds; from Scotland, 57 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 212 oxen and heifers. For the time of year the show of sheep was limited, and the quality of most breeds was inferior. There was a steady inquiry for prime sheep, and in some instances the cur- rencies had en upward tendency. Otherwise the trade was inactive; nevertheless, prices were well supported. A few very superior Downs and half-breds realised 58 Bd, but the more general top figure was 5s 6d per Blbs. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off steadily at extreme quotations—viz., from 4s to 68 per Blbs. There was a fair sale for pigs, at prices quite equal to Monday last.

Owing to the continued dearness of money the amount of business doing in English wool is extremely limited, buyers since our last report, having almost hiving almost entirely restricted their operations to the supply of immediate wants. Compared with the high prices lately current, the quota tions exhibit a fill of about ld:per lb. In colonial wool, by private contract, a limited business is doing, and prices rule somewhat easier, Last week's imports amounted to 655 Great Fire in the Ci ;y—This Day. This morning a very destructive fire broke out in the premises of Messrs rapping, carpet warehousemen, nearly opposite the Goldsmith's Hall, Gresham-street. The fire engines were speedily in attendance, and the firemen dit their utmost, but the dimes were now issuing from 40 windows, and soon caught the Haberdashers' Hall, in which there are many valuable and ancient portraits. The fire then spread to some warehouses in Wood-street. Two of the men belonging to Mr Hodge's brigade were injured. As the fire is now far from being extinguished, it is impos sible to give any estimate of the damage done. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. The September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court was commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before the .Recorder, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and other civio functionaries. The calendar con sists of a list of 108 prisoners for trial ; the charges, with the exception of two oases of murder and two of man slaughter, are of the ordinary character. The RECORDER, in delivering his charge said, although the calendar was numerically heavy, the cases were unim portant. There were two cases o f mur d er, i n one o f which a man named Henry Wilki nson was c h arge d w ith the murder of his wife. It appeared that the prisoner had lived with his wife for some years, and treated her kindly except when under the influence of drink, which, unfortunately was rather often. On the night ef the occur rence the prisoner came hoLne late at night, and appeared very angry at not finding his wife in his own room. From some cause not properly explained it appeared that the wife was sleeping with another woman lodging in the house. The prisoner went to the room, dragged his wife out of bed, and struck her a severe blow from which she fell. Then he kicked her, and no doubt caused her death. The prisoner, finding he had injured his wife, was at once brought to himself, and appeared to have exerted himself to render every assistance in obtaining medical advice, and the question for the jury to consider was, whether there was sufficient prima facie evidence to sustain the charge of murder, and whether the prisoner at the time of inflicting the injury had contemplated the death of his wife. There was nothing in the evidence to show that the prisoner contemplated the death. The jury, however, would have the witnesses before them, and it would be their duty to say whether the charge ought to be reduced to man slaughter, The Grand Jury then returned, and in a short time afterwards the trial commenced. Nothing of the slightest importance transpired during he morning.

A FOOLISH FREAK.—Charles Bishop, a young man, living in York street, Westminster, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt as follows : Sergeant Franklin, 20 E, said that about 12 o'clock the previous night he was on duty in Great Portland-street, when he saw the prisoner, who was attired as a female, and wearing a capacious crinoline, standing talking to a young man and a female, A Life Guardsman passed by, and the prisoner said " Good night—shall I come home with you ?" and then kft his companions and walked some distance with the soldier, and then returned to his com panions. Suspecting the prisoner was a man, although dressed as a female, he (Lhe sergeant) was making his way towards him when the prisoner and his companions started off, and on his pursuing them the prisoner's crinoline fell down and dragged along the ground, and he then took the prisoner, who cut a sorry figure, into custody. The prisoner said he did not think there was any harm in what he had done. The sergeant (amid some laughter) produced a gay looking bonnet, cloak, dress, and crinoline. Mr Tyrwhitt—lf priso ner wou ld behave in such an indis creet manner as he was prove d t o h a ve dono ho must not be surprised at b e i ng l oc k ed up. ironer, but he (Mr Tyrwhitr) considered the p risoner had acted like a fool. He Would discharg e the WESTMINSTER. CRUEL ROBBERY 33Y A SISTER. —Mary Wharton, a girl smartly dressed with a hat and feather, was charged with robbing her sister, who had afforded her a home, of every article of wearing apparel she passessed. Louisa Stetiens, a rough, hard .working countrywoman, said that her husband was a bricktnaker, and they lived near Maidstone, Kent. Prisoner came to her three weeks before last Friday week when she robbed her and absconded. They went out together into the fields that raorning to work, but prisoner was soon missed, and, instead of continuing at her labour, returned to h er s i s t er ' s cottage and stripped it. When she returned h ome, s h e f o und she had left her no clothing but what sh e stoo d upr i g ht in, and had gone off by the 12 o'clock train to London. Mr Selfe—How was she found ? Prosocutrix—l wrote to my other sisters about her, letting them know how she had treated me, and they sent to mo to ten me where she was. When I got the information I came to town yesterday morning and found her at my brother's. She denied the robbery, but I directly saw a hankerchief belonging to my husband which she had carried off, and a' so a cloak that she had stolen of mine, and there are other things that we have the tickets of. Mr Soudamore, pawnbroker, Great Chapel street, pro duced a gown pledged with him by the prisoner. A policeman said he had two tickets relatin g t o other property, but had not had time tg aCe about the ta or trace the other property. air Solfe said he should remand the prisoner, to afford an opportunity of completing th e case. THAMES. A Boron ANSWER TO A. KIND INQUIRY. —J eremiah Miscall, a young and a ctive fellow, w as brought bef ore Mr F f a grocer, The complainant stated that on Satu r d ay night, at half past 12 o'clock, he was seated close to hi s w i ndow upstairs after the business c f the day, and wa s witness to a deplor able accident in the street. A man was run down and run over by a horse and cart. He went down stairs to the door and saw the prisoner standing there, a n d asked him if the poor man was killed. The p ri soner said, <a What is that to you--what have yo u to do with it l''' and at the same time struck him a heavy blow on the mouth with his fist. The uiries prisoner ran away and was overtaken by a p o li ce - consta bl e. Ho was in great pain the whole of Sunday and fomented his mouth. William Bagwell, a police ago constable, No. 228 K, stated theth a t blow he e w gas v makingen. blow and ho prevent ed him. The p r i soner then ran away, and ho had some di fficulty in over taking him. The pri soner had recently co me out of p ris on, after being incarce rated for three month s for assaulti ng a woman. Mr Paget said he recollected th e case very well. The i ut the a cc id en t an d saw The inq prisoner was about t o str ik e ano th er prisoner struck a female, whose situation was a very pre carious one. The prisoner was a savage fellow, and seemed to strike any ens on any pretence. He was hardly doing right it not inflicting a sentence of, two months' im • prisonment. Ho sentenced the prisoner to ono month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE I3ANTRY I‘IURDER.---COI\US FIoN OF TILE MURDERER.—The perpetrator of thi s mur d er h as confessed his guilt. It will be remembered that a man named Daniel Cronin was exami ne d , and swore that ho knew nothing of the murder, and was not in the neighbour police, however, not committed,crotlh' eilrinquiries, and have about G the time the crime h believingfoundoo d o t n h t a h ht e ics d r a e y i it u wpaas statement, sedni tande oau was perpetrated. Yesterday ho was re-arrested on a charge of perjury, which feet becoming known to the murdered man's son, who had been in custody since the discovery of the crime, it took such an effect upon him that he imme diately confessed to baying murdered his father. It proves to have been a most cold-blooded transaction, he having followed his victim over two miles, watching a favourable opportunity to take his life. Tli only reason he assigns for committing the murder is that Ili' father wag a bad man,—kkibberein Sir R. Murchison on Recent Explorations. At the British Association, on Friday, there was a large company in Section E to hear Sir It, Murchison's opening address. This was a very interesting review of the labours of explorers. He said :—" To begin with one of the great glories of this century, let us call to mind how little was known of the Arctic regions when Parry made his first ex plorations, and hew, after being followed by many a gallant voyager, the culminating Arctic honour devolved upon a sir gle English woman, who, devoting her fortunes to the search after her noble-minded husband, engaged the ser vices of that successful navigator M'Clintock, and deter mined the cheering feet that, is perishing, Franklia was the first to make the long sought north- west passage. The delineation of all the arctic discoveries upon the map of the world, with the memorable exception of the American voyages of Kane, as sent forth by Grinnell, of New York, is indeed exclusively due to British energy, and is a trophy well worthy of the country which accom plished so much in its earlier career of enterprise in the littler vessels of a Drake, a Frobisher, and a Hud son. Having referred to the geographical discoveries in Australia and South Americo, Sir Roderick proceeded to refer to British India, observing :—" In preceding years the interest of the public had been attracted to the surveyors of the Himalaya Mountains, and their extreme height having been estimated to be upwards of 30,000 feet, we thus learnt that the northern frontier of British rule in India exceeded in altitude the loftiest peak of the Andes by about the whole height of the highest mountain in Britain. It had been sup posed that some depression in the ocean would be found to balance in depth the extremeet heights of land, and this an ticipation has been exceeded; for soundings in the South Atlantic, between America and Africa, have shown depths of more than 40,000 feet. If these measurements be reliable —for there is some reason to doubt them—the depth beneath the surface of the sea at certain points far exceeds the heights of the loftiest mountains above it. Another, and still more startling result of modern research is the fact that in dredg ing the bottom of the North Atlantic Sea, living star fish were brought up from a depth of a mile and a half, and were alive, even preserving their colour, when examined on the spot by Dr Wallich." The speaker then remarked —"lf we turn for a moment from the advances in geo• graphical research made by our own countrymen, we must admit that of all foreign countries Russia has of late years been most eminent in this respect. The Geographical Society of St Petersburg wields not only the power and influence of the imperial Government of Russia, but receives also large grants of public money, which have enabled it to carry on simultaneous researches in the steppes near the Caspian and in the Caucasus, and also to describe the grand natural features of Central Asia, the boundaries of the Chinese Em pire, and the whole river system of the mighty Amoor with numerous affluents. In this way serious geographical errors have been corrected, and new features laid down, by poei • tive observation on maps; while the natural history of the animals and plants, as well as of the human inhabitants of large regions, of which little was previously known, has been fully developed. Thes© data are accompanied by ethno logical and statistical descriptions of the inhabitants of East ern Siberia, of the island of Sakhalin, of Mongolia, mai the new territory of the Russians on the right bank of the Ussuri River, with its coast line extending southwards almost to Japan. Of the latter region we had until very recently, the most imperfect knowledge only." After referring to what has been done in opening up China to the Western World, Sir Roderick spoke of the researches of modern explorers in Africa. He said :—" True it is that large tracts north of the equator have been described by Germans and French, as well as by English expeditions, particularly that in which Barth was so distinguished. With the exception, however, of Abyssinia and the snowy mountain Kilmandjaro, ex plored by Von Der Decken and the late Richard Thornton, few of these tracts have been laid down on detailed maps. In the central equatorial region, but for the example set by the three gallant officers of our Indian armies, Beaton, Speke, and Grant, and encouraged and supported, I rejoice to say, by the Royal Geographical Society, those countries would have remained as unkown as they have been through out all history, from the days of Ptolemy to our own. But if thus the chief water-basin of the White Nile has been boldly outlined, how much does there remain to be done to test the value of the anticipations of Dr. Beke; still more, to com plete a general ,sketch even of the geography of equatorial Africa. Is it not essential that the Victoria Nyanza of Spoke, a body of water as large as Scotland, which has only been touched ate few points on its sou . hem, western, and northern shores, should have all its shores and affluents examined ? And do not the Mountains of the Moon of the same explorer invite a survey ? Have we not yet to find out the source of ,the great Zaire or Congo, and trace that river to its mouth? And who has yet reached the sources of the ighty Niger ? Again, when we cast an eye down the map southwards, are we not still in ignorance of the drainage and form of a prodigious extent of country between the Tanganyika Lake of Burton and Speke, and the Zambesi and Shire of Livingston? Are we not at this moment most anxious to determine, by positive observation, whe ther there exists a great series of lakes and rivers procesd • a 3 CO ley has tiaggeatel, from Tanganyika on the north, to Lake Nyassa au the south ? And has not Living • ston's very I:, a', effort been directed to this point ? If C, n tral Africa is ever to ad va: c. 2.. in civiiisation, and its inha bitants are to b?, brought into commercial relations with Europe, one of the best chances of our accomplishing it will, in my opinion, consist in rendering the great White Nilo a highway of intercourse and traffic. And if the present ruler of Egypt shall bring about this most de sirable end by putting a stop to the awless slave trade carried on beyond his frontiers under the guise of dealing in ivory, and by establishing marts of commerce on the banks of the great river, Africa will owe more to him than to any rulers since the days of the Roman emperors, who, though they tried, never succeeded in opening out the regions around the head waters of the Nile. In touching upon this subject, I have to congratulate you, on the news, which has arrived, that that chivalrous explorer, Mr Samuel Baker, is successfully examining the central equatorial regions, from which, I trust, he will bring us the solution of some of the problems already adverted to, and will determine the real source of the waters which supply the Luta N'zigo of Speke and Grant. I have also to announce that Baron von der Decken has proceeded on his bold adventure to explore the interior of Africa from the east coast, by ascending the Juba or one of the adjacent rivers, with two river steamers constructed at his own cost, In making these allusions to African discovery, most heartily do I congratulate geogra • pliers on the safe retarn of my excellent and disinterested friend Livingston. Already after his first two great traverses from east to west and from west to east, across South Africa, this undaunted missionary had won for himself im perishable renown. And now, after a second expatriation which has lasted upwards of six years (his previous j Jur nays occupying 16 years), during which he has been labour. ing conjointly to impi eve the condition of the natives and to extend geographical knowledge, he comes hemp with a firm resolution to adhere to his noble calling for the benefit of tho natives, and to return to that country in which every black man must bless his name I The return also of Capt. Burton ensures for us some fresh and pregnant communi i cations respecting Western Africa ; and when we know that Francis Galton, though much occupied with the duties of general secretary, will always take part in our discussions and that Barth is likely to be present, it is probable that we shall have a co ncourse o f trave ll ers ca pable of illustrating the geography and ethnology of Africa, such as was never assembled at any former meeting." Continuing his review, Sir Roderick said—" It is but yesterday t hat an advert. turous gentleman of Chili, Senhor Don Guillermo Cox described a new route across the Andes, which, by ale most bringing together the waters flowing into the At lantic, and the Pacific, is likely to open our c mmerco be tween very fertile regions on the west and Buenos Ayres on the Atlantic. Aware of our almost entire ignorance of the interior of Patagonia, the same bold traveller purposes to make a journey throughout this enormous region down to the Straits of Magellan. In mentioniag these straits I am bound to remind you how in former years that eminent nau tical surveyor,Adneiral Fitzroy, when accompanied by the gre at naturalist Cherie.: Darwin, thtew a flood of light upon of the coasts of South Ame the configuration and structui: althcugh in this short rice and the Falkland Islands. Now, 11 the advances and popular address, I canno t do j ustice to which have been made in meteorolo gy , s it g rata.. " me , t° direct your attention to the recent important labours in eL lt science of the same gallant officer. For, by welt-digested comparison between the state of the barometer and the di motion and force of the winds, Admiral Fitzroy has proved to the nation what useful interpreters in his hands are these useful phenomena. By his forecast of approaching storms and the prompt use of the electric telegraph, he has saved many a ship and the lives of numbers of our seamen. If we range from the south to the north of America, nume rous, indeed, are the tracts which call for examination; and even at this meeting I hope to see new features pointed out to us in that northern prolongation of the Rocky Mountains which separates the sources of the Sas katchewan on the east from those of the Thomson and Fraser Rivers of British Columbia on the west. This knowledge, acuired under great privations, by young vis count Milton and his friend Dr Cheadle, comes to us here in addition to what had been gathered together by Palliser, Hector, and Blakiston, as published in a Parliamentary blue book, and has fortunately arrived in time to improve a highly valuable map of British North America, which, de rived from original documents, is now about to be issued to the public. Let me next remind you that we are yet en tirely in the dark as to the true geography cf the interior of Arabia. It is, indeed, only within the last few months that, travelling in the guise of a elysician, the spirited and eloquent Pulgrave has been the first intelligent person to traverse that country to the Persian Gulf. Can anyone who recently heard this traveller narrate his adventures before the Geographical ociety ever forget the deep im pression ho made upon the crowded audience when ho told ue his wondrous Arabian Night's talc ? In a word, we must confess that modern geographers are infinitely less acquainted with Arabia than the ancients and their great geog rapher Ptolemy. Again, in Asia—though Russia has very recently, as I have said, done much in the north, and the English in the far south-east et that quarter of the globe—the very last communication to the Royal Geographical Society, proceeding from the zealous Hungarian M. Vatnbery, who travelled di, , guised as a Dervish, or holy Mahometan beggar, has brought vividly to our minds a consciousness of the little we know of _ the vast countries once ruled over by Genghis Khan and Timur. In truth, the passage to the ancient capital Samarkand across those regions has of late years become infinitely more difficult than in the days of Marco Polo. Then (1390), and even in 1405, when an embassy from Henry 111. of Spain to the great Emir Timur reached Samarkand, the wide-spread influence of Genghis Khan still subsisted. From that distant day there is no record of any European having visited Samarkand until the year 1841, when the Khan of Bokhara requested the Emperor Nicholas to send scientific men from Russia to search for gold. This impe rial expedition, which visited Samarkand as well as Bokhara, was purely scientific, and consisted of two officers of the School of Mines, Buteneff and Begosloweki ; a very able young naturalist, Lehmann, since dead ; an interpreter ; and that eminent geographer, Khauikoff, who, at the meet ing of this association held at Oxford in 1860, gave us such an interesting account of other parts of Central Asia. O n the whole, however, as M. Vambet y will tell us, those re gions are so occupied by savage warring Turcomans and other Tartars, that the solitary traveller is more decidedly shut out from them than he is from Arabia, China, Africa, aed other countries in which so many great problems also remain to be solved. No region certainly calls more for the examination of geographers than Asia, the cradle of 'he human race ; and albeit the Ras fans, independently of their researches in Bukhara and Samarkand, have made notable explorations from Siberia into Mongolia, and southward to the borders of China and Japan, Sir Henry Rawlinson wilt, 1 hope, explain to you what extensive regions there are which require to be explored and defined between Nineveh and Babylon, the countries of his memorable exploits, and the British empire of the East. There, even at this day, no one has followed the grand river Burhampooter from Hin dostan into China, though the project has often been agitated and is, I trust, now in a fair way of being accomplished by British energy. Again, are there not other vast tracts in the New World, which no scientific traveller or explorer has yet visited. Cannot our secretaries. to whom I have alluded, point to many a district—nay, to whole regions —which call for examination ? Ask Mr Clements Markham how much there remains for the geographer to do along the great Cordillera of the west ? Then let Mr Bates speak to you of the enor mous countries watered by the affluents of the mighty Amazons, which still call for fresh researches. Without fnrther dwelling, as I might, upon numberless new fields for exploration, I hope that I have now satisfied you that the apprehension of geographers having already done so much that they will soon have little or no wbrk to perform, is quite imaginary ; for you may rely upon it that the most ardent and adventurous men, whether geographers, ethno logists, or naturalists, will find stout employment for many a long year." PUGILISM. COBH, N (THE AMERICAN) AND JELL MACE.. —The day on which these men will meet in battle array within the 24 feet arena is rapidly drawing on. As at pi esent arrangtd, they are to fight in Ireland on the 4th October. Of Coburn, little is known more than by report, as he has never before fought out of the American prize ring; but his Yankee friends form the highest estimate of his milling attributes, and say that on the day he enters the ring he will take those who see him for the first time completely by sur prise. For some time past he has been in active training, and the reports received from Nat Langham, who looks after the interest of the American, are of the most satisfactory character. Mace is, as is well known, one of the cleverest boxers of the present time. Win or lose, this, we are in formed, is to be the wind-up of Mace's pugilistic career. Of the battle money, £lOO a-side has now been deposited with the stakeholder, and the final deposit of £lOO a-side has to be made good on Tuesday evening next, at Harry Brunton's The referee has to be named by the backers of the men, but these with the other preliminaries will, there can be no doubt, be settled at a subsequent meeting at the stake holders. COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS.—At a meeting of the Council of this Corporation, on the 17th inst., the Rev. B. H, Kennedy, D.D., of Shrewsbury, was re-elected President of the Council for the current year, and the Rev. Dr Collis, of Bromsgrove Grammar School, Dr W. B. Hodgson, and Mr Joseph Payne were elected Vice-Presi dents. Dr E, T. Wilson, of Brixton-hill, was elected treasurer. The Rev. Dr Wrigley, of Clapham, was elected a member of the Council. The diploma of licentiate was granted to Mr T. Atkin, 8.A., Cambridge,land to Mr W. Pinches, St. Martin's-lane. The following ladies and gentlemen wore elected members of the college :—Mr T. V.

TIIE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL wNY.--We have received a telegram from Mr M‘Henry, the contractor of the r .ilway, stating that the journey through from New York to St Louis had been successfully made. A j')urney of 1,200 miles without change of carriage is an event without precedent in the rail way world, and it has naturally caused great excitement even in America. The pressure of traffic on the At'antic and Great 'Western is already enormous, and shippers at St Louis are most anxious to enter into engagements tor the transit of pro duce to New York upon the line.—. Railway News. THREE PERSONS DROWNED WHILE BATHING.— Oa Thursday morning a melancholy scene was presented in Bude, Cornwall, in consequence of the deaths of Mr John Prout, grocer, Sifton, Devon, Mr Robert Prout, his son, and Mr Loundes, of Totnes, who were drowned while bathing. Mr Prout has been blind for some years. Those three persons had entered the water and were carried out of their depth by a ground swell. A gentleman named Frost made a very heroic attempt, in which ho nearly lost his life, to succour the drowning men, but did not succeed in reaching them. The bodies drifted about a quarter of a mile down the shore before they could be recovered. Mr German, surgeon, of Derby, who is staying at the Falcon Hotel, Bade, was very promptly in attendance, and rendered every assistance medical aid could suggest, bat without any beneficial results, life being too nearly extinct when the bodies were brought on shore. FELTON'S DAGGER.—At the recent meeting of the Arcl zlogical Institute at Warwick, a dagger, said to be that with which Felton stabbed the Duke of Buckingham, was exhibited by the Earl of Denbigh. At Southwick-park, Hants, another dagger, purporting to be Feltou'F, is preserved in the family of Mr. Thistlethwayte. The Duke of Buckingham, it is said, visited Southwick, then, es new, an important mansion in that part of the kingdom , om. during his stay at Portsmouth ; and this relic hes been there since the time of the murder. Hence the great probability of the genuineness of the assassin's knife.— Notes and Queries. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A THEATRE.—A melaneboly accident occurred a few days back at the theatre of Magde burg, in Prussia, during the performance of ‘: Robert and Bertram." The scene of a part of the first act passes in a tower raised at a considerable height above the stage, and while the play was in progress the tower suddenly fell to the ground with two actors who were in it at the moment. Those mon were both killed on the spot, an actress had her arm separated from her body, and :a number of other persons received injuries from the fall of the beams and planks of which the tower was constructed. LORD STANLEY'S VIEWS ON IRELAND. Lord Stanley is ono of the last men to wish what he thinks economic laws reversed, and to lament the gravitation of labour towards the stores of capital that stand most in need of it. His difficulty was probably the greater because the nature of his intellect inclines him to regard these economical tendencies even too much in the light of irreversible physical laws, whereas I no doubt the truth is that they are very much under the control of national character, so that the Dutch or English race would probably long ago have turned Ireland into a rich manufacturing country, and even now, the Irish, if they could once be trained to habits of greater self-restraint and forethought, might in a very large degree alter the character of the ecoO micli laws applicable to the distribution of capital in :hat country. But Lord Stanley is one of the stricter economists whose habit is rather to deceive themser.,:s by speaking of economi cal tendencies as .• laNaT s ;77 and he is besides habitually too cautious to hold out any hope so distant as one which for its .fulfilment would involve a steady improvement in the : ivilisation of the lower class of the people. Nevertha2" B with all these difficulties in his way Lord Stanley was not driven to express his satisfaction at the strea.7 l of emigration, or even to ignore the subject. He held out a hope. a very dim and distant one we fear it is, that on economical grounds it may soon be more profitable for Irishmen, as they are, to stay in Ireland than to emigrate to the United States. It, he said, the war in America ceases, and nearly a million soldiers are so released for purposes of labour in America, the rate of wages in America will fall, and the inducement to Iriehmen to emi grate be materially lessened, and as at the same time the rate of wages will probably rise slowly in Ire land, Lord Stanley hopes (dimly) in some approach to equality. We fear it is but a shadow of trope. Wages in America can scarcely sink t o the Irish leye, for centuries to come. If Ireland is not to have its l population much further reduced, it can le only be by the growth of manufacturing towns B sec ch fast to absorb the till large surplus populate:int, o . f the country districts. But Lord Stanley's only the more characteristic for the shadowy a racter of this door of hope which he opened tohis audience. With all the elements of repulsion that must exist between the most frigid political intellect of vngl-ed and the impulsive fancies .th of Irish . hope, even of an Irish audience so ar triumphed as to the disposition to adapt himself t o the public opinion he found or it was not the help him to take up . the same at i titu . de of hope— though the reason which reason of an Irishman, and must have seemed very slender even to himself.--Spectator.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 23d of August, and from Calcutta to the 15th of August. We take the following summary of news from the Bombay Gazetto of the 23d of August : "It is reported that the Secretary of State has been making inquiries regarding the differences be. tween the indigo planters and the ryots in Bengal. He desires to know whether they have returned to their usual work or not, and also what the produce of indigo is in the districts and whether it has reached its former average or not. There seems to be a probability that the late fron. tier Ivor will not be quite so expensive an item in the Budget as was expected,it having been rumoured that the property of the rebel Mahomed Shaffee, which has been confiscated, amounts to ten lacs of rupees. There is, however, some difficulty in the way of realising the . money, as the bulk of it is said to have bean left in Bombay by Mahomed Shaffee on returning from his pilgrimage to Mecca. " Sir Hugh Rose has requested permission to be allowed to form his camp at Cawnpore and to inspect the military stations east of the Ganges, but it is nevertheless believed that his excellency is anxious to leave for Europe in March. " A brigade of Horse Artillery and eight regi ments of the line are expected to go home this season, fcur of the latter in course of relief, and four in consequence of the thre , itening aspect of affairs in Europe and the drain upon the revenue in India. " Greet differences of opinion still prevail in the Bhootan Durbar on the subject of the answer to be given to the Governor-General's letter, the Dburra and Deb Raj advising submission and an apology for their treatment of the Mission. The Toungso Pcnlow is still fur war, and oppotes the peace party. He says that the British want to obtain land for the cultivation of tea, coffee, end cotton ; Bhootan cannot be taken, it having been prophesied by the Shasters that it must re. main independent for ever! The apology will be written, however, notwithstanding ell this. We have since heard that the Dhnrm and Deb Raj have dispatched a messenger to the Lieut.• Governor of Bengal, with presents, to pave the was for sub mission, but that he was stopped at Pero by the Penlow, and all the presents taken from him, when he was allowed to proceed, minus the presents. " From Affghanistan we learn that a reconciliation has taken place between the Ameer and his brother the Sirdar Uzful Khan, who sued for pardon. He was so much alarmed that he was afraid to ap proach the presence of the Ameer, and it was not until the latter sent a kinsman to him with a Koran that he could be induced to do so. Valu• able Khilluts were exchanged between them, and the Ameer took over the troops of the penitent Sirdar, and after ordering their arrears of pay to be cleared off, sent them on to CAbul. It appears that Uzfel Khan was glad to come to any terms with the Ameer, as through his oppression the people of Bulk and his own army were so much against him that large numbers of his troops were deserting daily and going overto the Ameer. We have since heard that there is a rumour prevalent that the Ameer has made prisoners of Uz fut Khan and his brothers, and sent them to Cabui.
