MONEY MARKET AND CONMERCI&L INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The rates for money in the general discount market remain firm, and a good inquiry has been experienced this morning. The demand will no doubt continue active till after the arrangements have been completed for the liquidation of the bills falling due on the 4th inst., when it is generally considered that easier terms will prevail. Just now the Bank of England is advancing money to the discount houses, and this description of business transacted by the authorities is presumed to be on a rather large scale. . _ About £95,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. _ At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Canada Agency Association, an interim dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum on the increased capital Ras recommended by the directors to be paid. The half -yearly meeting of the Railway Passengers Assurance Company was also held to-day, and in terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was pro- Posed to be paid. The revenue account for the past fi iir months shows a total of £45,551, from which is deducted compensations, &c., &c., bringing the amount down to £21,280. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f 75c to 68f 65c—flat. English Securities this morning have lost the buoyancy they exhibited at the -close yesterday evening. There is no doubt that the heaviness now witnessed is due to a few sales rather than to any other overt or unfavourable circumstances. In fact, everything tends to keep up prices, and to impart encouragement to speculators for a rise. Consols are 93! I for money and the Bth inst.,' and 931 for the Bth proximo. The Reduced Annuities are firm at 92-7,1, ex. div_ ; and the New Threes are also steady at 92 1, ex. div. ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities are buoyant at 109; but the 30 Years' Annuities are lower at 141; the 5 per Cent. India Loan remains at 1084 ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 108. There is less annimation in the Foreign Market, but prices are generally well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 ex div. ; Ditto, 1862, 701 4 ; Ditto, Consolides, 82* ; Mexican, 391 ; Greek, 37* 1,-; Ditto, Coupons, 18 ; Spanish Passive, 34; 351 ; Ditto, Certificates, 49,1 ; Italian, 72* ; Ditto, IVlaremmana Railway Loan, 80; Russian, 93; Egyptian, 1011 ex div. ; Peruvian, 871; and the Confederate Loan is 28 to 26 die. less the dividend. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little business transacted, and the 'variations in prices have not been important. North Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North Eastern (Leeds) have each improved about 55., While Great &stern, Great Western, and Midland have declined 52., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s, The - Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit Lci material change in values.

Some discus sion had been excited at Bermuda by the fact that on. t h e arrival of the Florida at the harbour of St. George in that island, on July 16, she fired a salute, which was retttrned by the English forts. This was construed by some into a tacit recognition of the independence of the South. A. strong Southern feeling seems to prevail in the island ; the harbour is reported to be full of blockade runners, and a " considerable interchange of civilities has taken place be.. tween the Confederate and the British officers," the termer having been entertained by the latter at their mess. The assistant paymaster of the Florida having died at the port, his remains were folluwed to the grave by a large concourse of residents and others,— Western Morning [News. Bitll:l6ti PUSahoolkTh S.

MARKETS---This Day. ~--~-- MARK-LANE. The arrivals of home-grown wheat fresh np to our mar ket this morning were very moderate. Good and fine qua lities moved off steadily, and Monday's currency was well supported. The demand for inferior parcels was by no means active, yet no change took place in their value. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. 'I ho amount of business transacted was very mo derate ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was small. Both new and old qualities, however, moved off slowly at late prices. Malt was in fair average demand at full prices. With oats the market was well supplied. Good and fine corn sold slowly at Monday's quotations, but that day's rates were difficult to obtain for inferior produce. No change took place in the value of beaus and peas. The supplies on offer were small, yet the trade was very quiet. Both in English and foreign flour sales progressed slowly at late rates. Foreign.— 8, = ARRIVALS THIS VEER. Wheat Barley. Malt. Oats.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Monday Night.—lntelli gence has just been received of a most alarming accident having happened at Burradon Colliery, about six miles from Newcastle, in which pit it will be recollected that about three years ago 90 men lost their lives by an explosion of fire damp. The pre sent accident resembles in its general features that of the Hartley calamity, but we hope without the fearful loss of life that then occurred. About one o'clock to-day, while the engine was working, the winding machine balance-weight became detached by some defect, came crashing down through the engine-house, smashed the machinery, and broke the two winding ropes. The two ceges having thus nothing to hold them fell to the bottom, com pletey cutting off all communication with the men below. There were between 100 and 200 men and boss down the pit at the time. If the cages in falling have destroyed the bratticing, which can only be ascertained by inspection, for which no means at present exist, the peril of the men is fear ful to contemplate, as in that case the ventilation will be destroyed. Hopes, however, are entertained that all yet remains intact, and that the rescue of the men is only a question of time. Preparations are actively making to get the crab ready so as to reach them. There is a communication between this pit and the neighbouring one of Seghill, but before it can be made available substantial stone stoppings must be removed, and some degree of hesitation is felt as to touching them, as they play an important part in the ventilation of the mine. Plaintiff—l never looked on this bill as discount. A debt collector proved that defendant bad offered £3lOB, Mr. Owen then called defendant, who said that he had paid some of the items, and the rest, except a pig, he looked upon as discount. A former bill had been settled in that way, and as to the pig plaintiff had had it back. It was explained that plaintiff had not received the pig which had been given to the man. His Honour did not approve of this new method of dis counting, and said that if Mr. Aikman was entitled to dis count on the ship's meat he should have taken it at the time. It would not do to set up a former transaction, and therefore plaintiff would have a verdict fur the unpaid items with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBORO U Gil -STREET. GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Three gentlemen, named George White Emley, of 5, West Brixton-road; Ulysse Bassetti, Hertford House, Stoke Newington ; and William Jones, Neasdon Grange, Middlesex, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly manner, and knocking at the doors of several houses in St. Martin's-court, without lawful excuse. Jones was further charged with breaking a lamp, the property of Mr. Wilson, billiard room proprietor, Leicester-square. The evidence of Costick, 81 C, and other constables, went to show that about half•past one this morning the de fendants and some others were creating a great disturbance by shouting at the top of their voices in St. Martin's-court, and also by knocking at the shutters and doors. They continued this conduct, notwithstanding they were cau tioned by the constable, till they got into Leicester-square, when Jones threw his umbrella at the lamp of Mr. Wilson, and broke it. Edward Moggett, billiard marker to Mr. Wilson, said the damage done to the lamp amounted to £lO, but Costick said he thought £5 would cover it, while the defendant Jones said he was told that 16s. would pay it. Emley called two witnesses—Mr.Edwd. Drew, of Hadin gay Villas, Tottenham, insurance broker, and Mr. Edward Rose Day, of 17, Shaftesbury-crescent, Vauxhall-bridge road, cosi factor, and they both stated that although there were several persons going along at the time, and there was some knocking at shutters and doors, Emley took no part in it. Costick said he was quite certain that Emley was amongst the persons, and had hold of Bassetti's arm. Emley said that he did not even know Bassetti. The witness Day said that ho had been to supper with Drew, Emley, and Jones at Evan's Supper Rooms, Covent garden, and were on their return home at the time, and were in advance of the other persons who were knocking at the shutters. Bassetti said he knew nothing of the other defendants. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had a doubt about Emley having knocked at the shutters, and he should discharge him. He should fine Bassetti and Jones 20s each, or 14 days, and Tones would have also to pay 20s for the damage to the g l ass (that being the value, as sworn to by a gasfitter), and a fine of 6d, WESTMINSTER. AN OUTRAGEOUS CULPRIT.—Mary Rayan, a stout s t ur dy-looking woman, was brought befor e th e magistrate. Mr. Arnold, on looking at the charge-sheet, observed that the defendant appeared to have been a wholesale offen der, by the entry made against her. She was charged with being drunk, with breaking two panes of glass at a beer shop, with assaulting three constable; and wilfully break ing a window at the police-station. IVlrs. Andrews, who keeps the Black Horse beer-shop, Oat ham-street, Chelsea, said that yesterday afternoon the defendant came there intoxicated, and upon her refusal to give her any more drink, wilfully broke a pane of glass and rushed after her to attack her, but was prevented by a policeman. Police-constable Watts, a detective in plain clothes, said that he was at the house and endeavoured to restrain the defendant's violence. When given into his custody she assaulted him very violently, and threw herself down. A large crowd collected, and she was three times rescued from him. He was much ill-treated, and there were others in custody for the part they had taken in the disturbance. Defendant was so violent that it required four people to carry her until the stretcher could be procured. During which there were a groat many stones thrown at the police. Tw) other policemen proved that the defendant attacked them with great fury, and when she got to the station house she seized a jug, and threw it through a window into the inspector's room. Defendant said that she had been roughly handled, and pulled about without any provocation. Mr. Arnold—How do you get your living ? You are described on the sheet as a a servant. Defendant—l am. Mr. Arnold—ls anything known of her ? The gaoler—She has been before charged with violent conduct, and with other offences. Dennes (the gaoler)—She is a thief; and has been con victed. Mr. Arnold—Your conduct is more like a wild beast than a woman. You are committed for two months, and will find bail in £lO for four months. THAMES. APPLWATION FOR A PROTECTION ORDER. —Mrs. C. Cox, carrying on business at No. 82, St. George-street, applied to Mr. Woolrych for an order for th e protection of her goods a nd chattles in consequence of her husband, J ames Ch ar l es CoT The ehavingHer r desertedesdbalittd, an feof her.

He abandoned her repeatedly , and b u t f or h er own integrity, industry , and indomitable perseverance, her husband's wishes that she woutd became a street walker would have been verified.

He soon after deserted her, and as she had acquired a little property by her own industry, she wished it t o b e protected from her husband's avarice. Mr. Woolrych asked the applicant when her husband deserted her ? Mrs. Cox—About seven years ago, to the beat of my re collection. The last time 1 saw him was on the day peace was proclaimed after the Russian war. ----- Mr. Woolrych could not recollect the day peace was pro claimed, and Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, believed it was in 1857. A gentleman in court, who was appealed to, said the event took place in 1855, and another gentleman said it was in 1858. At last Mr. Bowdler, by referring to the history of the Russian war, ascertained that the Treaty of Peace was signed at Paris, Sunday, March 30, 1856, and ratifications exchanged at Paris, April 27, 1856. Mr. Cox then produced the certificate of her marriage at St. Dunstan's Church, Canterbury, and having sworn that she gave no cause for the abandonment of her by her husband, the protection order was made out, and signed by the magistrate, and the applicant, who had been in continual dread of a visit from her spouse, left the court much more happy and contented than she had en tered it.

RECOGNITION OF TELE CONFEDERATE STATES..— " Traveller" writes to us as follows :—" Lord Pal merston was Foreign Minister when England recognised Belgium, which, if lett to fight it out with Holland, would have been subjugated. Why, then, does not the Premier make his Foreign Secretary do his duty, and mete out the same measure to our kith and kin as the Belgians ? Is it that Earl Russell unclique tutus, rccalcitrat, and cares nothing for Lord Palmerston and his country, too intent in pushing the fortunes of his relatives, and forcir•.g into retirement one cf the best of our diplomatists ? Whon Lord Palmerston's foresight recognised the Emperor of the French and the will of that nation, Earl Russell summarily dismissed him. Probably, though now a subaltern, he thinks he is potent enough to do so again; but, if he tries it, he will find his mistake. Why does not Lord Palmer stone justly, as well as boldly, recognise Jefferson Davis and the will of the Southern people, as he did that of the French ? Can it be that Earl Russell prevents him? The British empire favours the recognition of this gallant people." LAND TENURE IN PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND. — A correspondent, signing himself " Islander," writes —" A. commission was appointed to settle this vexata questie, which gave their award in 1861, though the Duke of Newcastle has not yet ratified it. The Colonial office appointed one commission, the proprietors of the island a second, and the House of Assembly a third—non-residents, and having no interest in the matter—the duke expressing a hope that the whole should devote their efforts to framing such recommendations as shottld be demanded by the equity of the case. The commission under the royal sign manual and signet was issued to ' our trusty and well-beloved John Hamilton Gray, Joseph Howe, and J. William Ritchie, our commissioners for inquiring into the said differences and adjusting the same on fair and equitable principles.' The islanders are most anxious that this award should be carried out." HEAVY STORMS IN THE NORTll.—During Sunday night and Monday, in Malton, we have had nothing but continued falls of heavy rains, with thunder at night. The country is literally drenched, water standing every where. It is really pitiful to see the state of the crops in the fields; in some cases the sheaves have been wet for a week or more. Farmers, indeed, are beginning to speak of sprouted corn. All harvesting is quite stopped, and it is stated that the storm has laid the ripe corn fiat on the ground in some parts, and must have done much damage. So heavy have the rains been that the streets have worn the aspect of rivers, and the rivers themselves show too plainly how general the rainfall has been. Although we have had much lightning, no accidents are reported. TRADE WITH VANCOUVER'S ISLAND,—The im ports into the port of Victoria in the first six months of 1863 amounted in value to 1,886,543 dols., an increase of 161,831 dole. over the corresponding period of 1862. The most interesting change is the marked i nereasa o f direct British trade—an increase of 495,878 dols. over the first six months of 1862. CAFTIiiiE OF A LUNATIC MURDERER.- -Some time ago a man named Braceford made his escape from the criminal lunatic asylum at Birmingham. Four years sinc e h e had been sentenced to death at Warwick Assizes for murdering a man named Sunderland, but medi cal testimony having pronounced him to be a lunatic, the sentence was revoked, and he was sent to the above •named asylum. As he was known to be a dangerous character, every exertion was made to recapture him after his escape, but no clue to his whereabouts could be discovered until last Sunday, when he was apprehended at a lodging-house in l)rypool, Hurl, and duly forwarded to the asylum in Dir mingham. __•---,~ ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Yesterday rumours were in circulation of an alarm• ing colliery accident at Newcastle-on-Tyne, by which it was asserted the lives of 200 men end boys were placed in imminent peril. The report was correct, so far as the fact of the number of human beings mentioned having the ordinary channel of exit from the mine closed to them ; but at no period of the occurrence were any lives in danger, and we arc now in a position to announce the safe arrival on the surface of all the persons who were in the mine at the time of the accident. The facts aro as follows :—At one o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, a flat wire winding rope broke as some tubs of coal were being raised from the Barradon Colliery, some seven miles from New castle ; the sudden breakage of the rope caused one end of it to fall down the pit, whilst the other end flew upwards with great force, tear ing away the roof and a portion of the framework of the engine•house, to the great danger of the brakesman, Moses Stewart. The men and boys of the pit having become aware that something had gone wrong, at once assembled at the bottom of the shaft, where, in consequence of the accident, there were no immediate means of bringing them to the surface. They were not, however, in the least de gree liable to be made the victims of a catastrophe similar to that which befel the unfortunate men and hoys who were so completely shut up in the Hartley Colliery some eighteen rronths ago. The Barradon Colliery has not only two shafts, but is also in connection with the workings of the Seg. hill Colliery, so that even had one of the shafts been blocked up there would have been ample means of exit for the men. As it happened, the second shaft of the colliery was undergoing some repairs, and was not in a fit state for immediate use. The work ings of the Seghill Colliery were still, however, available, and in this direction the men and boys in the pit wero led by the backoverman, Mr. Weather ley. Mr. Kellet, the resident viewer at the colliery, had proceeded in the same direction as soon as he heard of the accident, and made arrangements for getting the men to the surface through the Seghill shaft. Parties of men at once commenced ascend ing, and by five o'clock in the afternoon the entire body had been taken from the workings without the slightest injury to life or limb, The usual exag gerated reports got into circulation on the first news of the accident, and for a considerable time the greatest a'arm and agitation prevailed in New castle, where it was believed a heavy loss of life had taken place. Happily, however, such was not the case, and from the first the rescue of the men and boys in the pit resolved itself into a mere question of time. On the breaking of the wire rope four tubs laden with coal fell down the shaft, but it is not thought that they could have done any material damage to the bratticing, or sides of the shaft. An inspection, however, will decide this point. ILL-TREATMENT OF A CHILD. Last evening Mr. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, con cluded an inquiry, which had been five times adjourned, at the Chequers Inn, Eltham, on the body of Augusta Con stantia Engleheart, aged four years and nine months, who, it was alleged, had died from ill-treatment. The evidence taken was very conflicting, It appeared that on the even ing of Friday, the 31st July, Dr, King, of Eltham, was called to the house of the parents of the deceased, who was suffering from injuries to the head, and dying. Death en sued on the following morning. One of the witnesses eke.- mined, Jane Maynard, :servant to Mrs. Engleheart, said that the child had been put into a cold bath on the day pre ceding its death, because of its dirty habits. When taken out of the bath it had a spoonful of cod-hoer oil, some of which fell over the shoulder of the child, and was washed off by the mother holding the deceased under a pump in the kitchen, and pumping water upon it. The servant also stated that the mother had, about a fortnight previously, compelled the deceased to swallow four chilies, and that two or three days before her death the child had said that a tooth had been knocked down her throat by her mother. The latter, it was said, was in the constant habit of beating the deceased with a thick cane, used as a walking stick. Mrs. Engleheart, on being sworn, said that the deceased was naturally very weak, of a peevish disposition, and of dirty habits. A former medical attendant had advised the cold bath, with salt, to be used, and on the child being taken from the bath, and some of the cod-liver-oil administered falling on her shoulder, she held it under the pump while the servant pumped the water to wash the oil away, not more then a tumbler full of water being obtained by pumping. She then carried the child upstairs, but seeing it shivered she was about to take it downstairs, where her dress caught in the bolt of the gate at the top of the stairs, causing her to let the deceased fall over the banisters on the steps, and to roll nearly to the bottom. She denied being in the habit, or indeed ever beating the deceased with the cane as alleged, and explained the accusation of causing the child to swallow chilies by saying that while emptying 801116 pickles the de ceased took one and swallowed it, and put a second chili in its mouth, but after holding it in its mouth she spat it out. She also said that on picking the child up after the fall she called the servant. but received no answer, owing to her hav ing left the kitchen to empty the bath which had bsen used, and she immediately sent the servant to neighbours for as sistance and a medical man. The medical evidence was to the effect that death had resulted from concussion to the brain, caused either by a blow or a fall, and which, also, might have been occasioned by the head of the child being knocked against the stone sink when in the act of being pumped upon. Louisa Alvis, who had lived in service with the parents at Bermondsey, while stating that the deceased was very often beaten, said that the correction never took place except when the child had been in fault. Two of the neighbours who were called in deposed that the mother first told them she was fearful she had kept the child too long in the cold bath, and it was not until some minutes afterwards that she suggested that the injuries had been occasioned by her having let the child fall over the stair banisters. The Coroner summed up at very great length, and the jury, after an absence of three-quarters of an hour, returned an unanimous verdict of manslaughter against Helen Hannah Margaret Engleheart, the mother, who was thereupon com mitted, on the Coroner's warrant, to take hor trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. Substantial bail was tendered and accepted for her appearance. ENCLCSURE OF WANDSWORTH-COMMON.—VP" I wards of 200 ratepay ers have signed a memo rial to Earl Spencer, in whichthey say :—" That during the past few years enclosures to the extent of upwards of 100 acres have taken place on 'Wandsworth-common, and that some of these enclosures have been effected by private individuals; that within the last few months an enclosure to the extent of eight acres has been effected by the Brighton Railway Company, a footpath has been stopped, and this has taken away a pleasant and much frequented part of the common, That for centuries the parishioners and their families have enjoyed undisturbed the healthy walks on Wandsworth common, and the custom of years, right or wrong, h as given them an apparent right to this enjoyment. Your memorialists view these encroachments with deep Sorrow and regret, and i f p ermitted to go on they must at no dis tant period lead to the entire extinction of Wandsworth common. Your memorialists, therefore, humbl y pray th a t your Lordship w ould he p leased to exert y cur ir tiuence to preserve to the public those privileges which have been en joyed from time immemorial, end to institute such inquiries with reference to enclosures not sanctioned by secure lordship public, the inhahilants of Battersea, and their as will lead to their speedy removal, and to the continuance of these rights they have so long ands children, fr e t e h l y e enjoyed," POISONING BY MISTAKE. Yesterday an adjourned inquest was held at the Britannia Inn, Mosley, near Wolverhampton, by Mr. Hooper, coroner, on the body of John Albert Vann, aged six years, the son of an iron-roller. The evidence showed that on the evening of that day week the child complained of a pain in the bowels, and his sister was sent to a neighbouring druggist, named Woolley, for a pennyworth of tincture of rhubarb. The medicine, which was about a tea spoonful, was administered, and the child was put to bed. Whilst taking it the child complained that it was very bitter. In about two hours and a half after the child was put to bed his mother heard a moaning noise, and upon going up stairs found the child lying npon his left side, stiff and insensible, and with his eyes fixed. in about a quarter of an hour he said—" Oh, mamma, I am s o giddy, I can not see you. It is what the man sent that has made me so. Ob, mamma, I shall die ; and if I d o , y ou hang that man." He was very drowsy, and gasped for breath, and again said—" Oh, mamma, I thought I was dying then ; and if I do you hang the man." Mr. Woolley was sent for, and, pre scribing an emetic, said the vomiting that would follow was to be kept up, and the child prevented from continuing asleep. When he was shown the cup in which the supposed tincture had been served, and told that he had sold laudanum instead of tincture of rhubarb, he said he must confess there was a little laudanum in it. The emetic acted, and an officious woman threw away the product. The child grew worse, and at four on Wednesday morning, when the child was dying, Mr. Larkin, surgeon, of Bilston, applied the tube of the stomach-pump, but the warm water injected returned uncoloured, and in five minutes the child was a corpse. Mr. A. W. Latham made a post mortent examination of the body. He found very large quantities of blood in the organs of the brain, and the blood generally in a very fluid state. The stomach was empty. There was no trace of poison in it, but all the vital organs of the system were healthy. He was of opinion that death had resulted from some narcotic poison. The child who had been sent for the tincture of rhubarb pointed out the bottle,from which she had been served, and said that the medicine had been given her from that bottle only. This bottle proved to be one in which laudanum had been kept. The Coroner, in addressing the jury, remarked upon this part of the evidence in connection with the admission of Mr. Woolley, that there was a little laudanum in the medicine that had been in the cup, and said that if any portion was laudanum it was all laudanum. It was a misfortune that the con tents of the stomach, before the emetic was admin istered, had not been preserved ; nevertheless, such were the evidences on the body that the surgeon had come to the conclusion that the child had been poisoned. After the jury had deliberated, and the public were re-admitted to the inquest room, the coroner, addressing . Woolley, who had a solicitor with him, said the Jury had found a verdict to the effect that there was no direct evidence to show the cause of the deceased's death. Both the jury and himself felt that the medical evidence had, to a certain extent, failed. But there was no doubt in the minds of the jury or in his own mind that this child had died from having had poison administered to him that had been sold by him (Woolley) for the tincture of rhubarb. Had the vomit been preserved there would have been no legal doubt in the minds of the jury, and then he (Woolley) would have occupied a different position; but inasmuch as it had been thrown away, and the medical evidence had in con sequence not been of sufficient strength to justify a verdict of manslaughter, a legal doubt had been occasioned, and, acting upon his instructions, the jury had given him (Woolley) the benefit of that doubt. He had, howover, to caution him in their names; and to remark upon the very serious conse quences which might resalt from a repetition of such conduct. In the event of another accident happening through Mr. Woolley's dispensing, this case would be remembered. He was sorry, he must add, to find, from inquiries he had made since last Friday, that this was not the first time he had sold prison by mistake. He should like the public to know clearly and distinctly that the poison had been cold by him in mistake, and he trusted that the cen sure he was then called upon to administer would exercise a salutary influence on his (Woolley's) mind, so that consequences of a more serious nature might not hereafter follow in that locality from the use of drugs which he (Woolley) might dispense. "There is no doubt whatever (concluded the coro ner) that this child has been lost by the poison, but the jury give you the benefit of the partial failure of the medical evidence. Do consider that you are very seriously to blame, and that you deserve the reprimand that I have now given." Mr. Woolley, who is a yoang man, apparently about 25 years of age, who has been an articled apprentice to a sur geon, was very much affected during the delivery of the coroner's reprimand, and, burying his face in his handkerchief, gave free vent to his tears. How the Emperor Nicholas said Prayers at Warsaw. At the head of each regiment is an altar—a priest before it—and, at the instant the Emperor kneels, each individual of the countless mass upon the plain prostrates himself. The electrical effect of the thousands who throng the space before at St. Peter's at Rome, when the papal head of the Catholic Church stretches forth his hand to bless the world from the balcony at Easter, ie as nothing to that produced by this movement of an army, at the moment that the head of the so-called orthodox Greek Church himself, kneels before the altar of his faith. It has a staggering and bewildering effect. The Greek priests have begun the service in the chapel pavilion. Although every head is bowed in seeming devotion, no one appears more absorbed in the exercise of his religious duties than the emperor. But, from time to time, he gently turns his bead to glance at the line of guards to the right and the left ; and it is easy to see, that there is more of act ing than reality in the attitude he assumes. This is the first time I have seen the Emperor Nicholas. I had several opportunities, during my stay in Warsaw, and in after years, to look upon that face again. I cannot but feel that the portraits I have seen have never done justice to his extraordinary beauty. His form, tall beyond that of common men, seems perfect in its symmetry. He looks a living copy of the Apollo Belvedere. In after yeas his legs shrank from their full proportions as his body s welled. Now he appears faultless in modelling of limb. The face is one of classical beauty. Th e features are of the purest regularity. I stand long where I can study his profile. His high forehead bestows a look of power and intellect. No wonder that his personalty should have inspired feelings of m ingled admiration, reverence, and awe, or that his people s hould have looked upon h i m, alternately, as a beneficent or an avenging spirit. The ex pression of the face—afterwards seen under various aspects—is calm, very calm, far too calm for real beauty : and so it remains, even when the lips smile with so much graceand blandness. But what chiefly mars the expression of the face is that cold, chilly, frosty, blue eye, whic h others have called " mild." If it really be as " mild as moonbeams," it must be those moonbeams which glance sharply and cuttingly upon the ice-blocks of to have moments beau the Ne v a. f L a, at xduperorneholas i s said a man of s t rong family a ff e ction, and , of festive relaxation, of ',infinite jest." But surely that eye must have frozen all w armt h of love, and given to the joke the air of chil ;movements, as he s h ort l y r; a dmirable dignity, and even o f chil ling i are rony. full of admirable grace, spite of the tight prison of uniform. The prestige he influenced was naturally great. Nature had vied with destiny toplace him on a lofty pinnicle. But was that uncommon form to represent the type of an Archangel or a Lucifer ? The service in the chapel-pavilion is concluded. Th e emperor r i ses f rom his kneeling position. At the same moment, the th i c k groups of officers on the steps, the overwhelm ing masses of men upon the plain, rise also. This simultaneous movement has an effect upon the ner vous system, still more eiciting and inspiring than that of the prostration.

SCIIOLEFIELD, M.P., ON TILE AMERICAN WAR.—Mr. Scholefield, member fer Birmingham, dined with the Birmingham Retail Brewers Protection So ciety last week, and acknowledged the toast of " the borough members." He said that the principal point on which he and his colleague in the representation (Mr. Bright) dif fered was with respect to the Atuericancivil war, Mr. Bright looking upon it probably as a war for the emancipation of the slaves. He thought that when an impartial history came to be written of that conflict, it must be stated to be, on the part of the North, as against the South, the most cruel and causeless war that was ever waged by a powerful against a weaker nation. He believed when men talked of emancipating the slaves by force of arms they talked of that which was the most difficult measure of emancipation that could possibly be. He was as favourably disposed towards emancipation as Mr. Bright. He hated slavery as much as any man in the world could hate it, but ho believed from the bottom of his heart that slavery was not to be abolished by force of arms. It must be abolished by the same means which we in this country employed in our own colonies, by remonstrances and by putting our hands in our p - ckets to compensate those whom we had induced by our own laws to consider 610.FeE3 as their property.

ANTIQUITY OF FLAX.—The culture and manu facture of flax is of very ancient date, as we all know; and as a proof of its having often occupied a pro minent place in the world's industry, I point to many allu sions made to it bosh in sacred and profane histor3 : for instance, Joshua's two epics were hid under the stalks of fl ax ; and in confirmation also of the feet that in bygone ages it had attained to great p3rfection—in reference to the linens found encircling the mummies taken from the cata combs of Egypt—it has been said that nothing could exceed their texture and beauty of workmanship, so far at least as could be judged from specimens preserved from these relics. It has also been said that these fabrics would stand comparison with many similar productions of the present day ; but that I will not go into. But one thing we know, these ancient manufacturers did not live in times of rail ways and telegraphs, and on that account we readily ad mit the fact, for do not the natives of India and China in their own peculiar style excel in many things where nicety and delicacy of touch is required f But we in these days of steam and strong competition mu st have it done cheap and quick by machinery, in large quantities, and often at the sa crifice of good workman shi p . There is no branch of our national industry that is not more or less affected by this prevailing spirit. Notwithstanding this railway mode of doing business, I make bold to affirm that in the Interna tional Exhibition of 1862 there were exhibited, specimens o f yarns and line ns that might from time immemorial chal lenge the world. I refer more particularly to the Dunferm line and Belfast cases, In one case especially, Richard Bell and Co.'s, were some wet spun yarns as fine as what is termed in the trade 520 lea ; but it will make it more un derstood when I say that llb. weight of that yarn would extend to the incredible length of 89 miles.—llibberd's Gardener's Magazine. EXTRAORDINARY EFFECTS FROM SLEEPING IN THE MOON SHIN E.—A little boy, aged 13, named Henry Lowry, residing near Peckham• rye, was, on Tues day night, expelled his home by his mother, for some trifling misdemeanour ; he at once ran to a corn-field, close by, and on lying down fell asleep. (It will be remembered that it was a most beautiful moonlight night. Ho slept throughout the night. Some labourers on their way to work, seeing the lad apparently asleep, roused him. On the boy opening his eyes he declared he could not see. He was conveyed home, and from thence to an ocular institution, where the medical gentlemen affirmed that the loss of sight resulted from sleeping in the moon shine. He is totally blind, and few hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. BREACH OF PRlVlLEGE.—Yesterday, at the Judges' Chambers, Mr. Justice Byles decided an important question as to a breach of privilege which had been before him on two former occasions. A person had been made bankrupt, and was arrested for debt as ho was returning from a police-court, where ho had attended as a prosecutor. He had not his protection with him at the time, and therefore could not produce it to the officer. Mr. Justice Byles said he was of opinion that there had been a breach of privilege in arresting a person returning from a police-court, and therefore it was not necessary to consider the question as to the bankrupt. His lordship ordered the discharge, and payment to the defendant of 40a. costs, on the undertaking not to bring any action for the arrest against the sheriff of Middlesex or the creditor. THE SALMON FISHERIES IN DEVONSHIRE.—The salmon fishing season having closed, it is gratifying to state that in the various Devonshire streams there has been a marked increase in the quantity of salmon taken this season as compared with the past. The poachers are vigilantly watched, and in several instances convictions have taken place. In the North of Devon especially, sal mon have been plentiful and cheap. At Bideford and tip plodore prime fish hay° been selling at 9d. per lb. In a few years it is not unlikely that ealmon iu the North of Devon will be sold at 6d. per lb. A MONUMENT to the late Admiral Sir Charles - - -- --- Napier has been at length erected at POrtSea. It is a simple column, surmounted by a lion, with his paw on a shot.
