G. A. .Is in and Lin in specs !et of years Li the , was first If his )12 of 1, :3.re eatth with and floras With hints th e by 111111 i SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS. A grazier of Pomerania has communicated to the School of Medicine at Berlin a method of his for preserving horned cattle from the contagious typhus fever which, a few years ago, caused such uneasi ness to agriculturists in Germany. It consists in inoculating the animals with the saliva of a subject I,,bouring under the disease, by making an incision somewhat less than an inch i❑ length on the inner side of the ;,high.—The attention of medical men both i❑ England and France has of late been drawn to the ill effects resulting from the habit of reading while travelling by rail. Dr. Legrand de Saulle remarks that reading under such circumstances is extremely fatiguing to the eyes, owing to the jolting of the vehicle, and that this fatigue in duces headache, and often orbitary pains round the eyes, with a slight congestion of the retina, which, when the habit has become regular and in veterate, and the subject is advanced in age, may in the end determine a real congestion of the brain.— The Antwerp Journal states that perchloride of iron combined with collodion is a good hcemostatic in the case of wounds, the bites of leeches, &3. To prepare it,one part of crystallised perchloride of iron is mixed with six parts of collodion. The perchloride of iron should be added gradually add with care; otherwise such a quantity of heat will be generated as to cause the collodion to boil. The composition when well made, is of a yellowish red, per fectly limpid, and produces on the skin a yellow pellicle, which retains great elasticity.— Pouring cold water on the face and head appears to be a good remedy in cases of poisoning by narco tics. A young woman a few days ago accidentally swallowed six drachms of a mixture of laudanum and chloroform with some hydrocyanic acid in. She immediately vomited a portion of the liquid, and then fell down in a state of coma. Professor Harley being called in, he administered hot coffee and nitric ether, and proceeded to effect artificial respiration. No great improvement was perceptible ; but on the application of cold water to the forehead the effect was magical. The patient began to breathe more freely, and she lost some blood from the nose. As soon as the effusion of cold water ceased, the coma returned, and was again removed by renewing the effusion ; the patient soon moved her arms and legs, end seemed anxious to avoid the stream of water, as if it caused her pain. This treatment was re newed by intervals until the following day ; and after the lapse of 60 hours, all distressing symptoms disappeared completely. CRYSTAL PALACE. The benefit of Mr. Strange, the purveyor-general to her Majesty's lieges visiting the Crystal Palace, was, we are rejoiced to say, a great and decided success. Had it ben otherwise, it would have been a very ungrateful return for the wonderful difficul- ties Mr. Strange has to undergo in order to meet the ever - varying demands upon the commissariat department DI the Palace at Sydenham. Unlike those necessarily made upon a large establishment, where the number of visitors or residents can be pretty nearly ascertained, the wants of the visitors to the Crystal Palace can never be estimated and provided for. The attendance is regulated in a great measure by the weather, and when that uncertainty is taken into con sideration, it is something surprising that the tastes of thousands are so adequately supplied. Of course there must be occasions when disappoint ments as to a favourite dish are to be met with, but let those who have suffered under that inconve nience for one minute consider the ever-varying number of visitors, and inconsiderate indeed must be that person who is not eonvinced that the ar rangements of Mr. Strange are neither imperfect nor parsimonious, because on some special occasion a plate of salmon, or a dish of whitebait, is not to be had by asking for. The visitor ought, before coming to the conclusion that the arrange ments are bad, to consider the number of persons present, not one of which has given M. Strange the slightest ,notice of what he should like for dinner. There is an old story about a number of cockneys going on a pic-nic excursion, and when each opened his provision basket it was found to contain a solitary leg of lamb, but neither bread nor salt. Of course the consternation under such circumstances may be imagined; each would have acted differently had he known his friend would not have brought the bread. On the same rule Mr. Strange, if he could correctly ascertain the number requiring a certain dish, would most assuredly amply provide for all. Our great surprise is, not that we cannot always have salmon when we wish • ___ ;, but that the complaints, taking into considera- tion the number of visitors, are so few. On the occasion of Mr. Strange's benefit, however, there was no room for complaint, both refreshments and amusements were of the most unlimited character. There were three military bands stationed in the grounds, a grand organ performance, comic singing, a grand concert of national melodies by 200 voices, the brothers Stonette, the Elliotts in their elegant ball-room entertainment, a balloon ascent, military sports, the great fountains, and the performances of Blondin on the low rope. At the termination of the amusements the place and grounds were lit up with coloured fires, and thus one of the greatest Wes of the season was brought to a conclusion amidst a blaze of triumph. THE ADVANTAGES OF BUS' RACING. - AS SUMMED UP EY A SPORTING SURGEON. "Douca , ,t,r. • Pshaw I You'll not catch me goi;g there this meeting, I cui promise you. Yes, I iike seeing a good race, and the St. Leger is a crack one : bat the fact is, just at present there are races here in London, which to me are tar more interesting. What do I mean ? My boy, I mean the Races of the Omnibuses, and I'll trouble you to show me any that can e l ual them. One goes to races chiefly for excitement. Now, to get up a sensation there's nothing like an accident, and for the chance of a good accident there's nothing like a 'bus race. Yes, I know all that ; there was a spill last Derby, and not a bad one, either. Still, you see, in horse-racing if there is an accident, it's only to an animal, or may be to a jockey. But in 'bus racing, my boy, there is no telling what may happen, from a conductor being crushed to a child being run over. Be sides, the 'basses may capsize in rattling down a hill, for of course when they are racing they never stop to put the skid on. And then, the chances are there'll be a jolly lot of casualties, and you may get some goodish cases if you are looking out for them. I make a point myself of attending all the 'bus races ; and I assure you, I've picked up a pretty tidy lot of practice at them. You see, there's sure to be a race as soon as a new 'bus is started on the lino of route which has been worked by the General Monopoly Inconvenient Conveyance Company. Directly the new 'bus starts the G. M. I. C. C. start a couple more to nurse it, one keeping close in front and the other close behind it; so besides the chance of being torn to pieces by the cads, the passengers in getting cn or off the 'busses while going at full speed, are pretty sure to mile to grief and broken bones occasionally. " So, long live this 'bus-racing, say I ; for however great a nuisance it may be to the public, it is certainly a benefit to men of my profession, and the longer that it flourishes the better will it be for us. The only thing I fear is, that, b y some accidental act of common sense, a jury should re turn a verdict of manslaughter aga i ns t my good friends the di rectors of the G. M. I. C. C., who are, a f ter all, the chief promoters of 'bus•racine• : In that case there would, doubtl ess, be a P of com mon sen put to the sport; but the contingency r eally so remote, that it is hardly se occurring to a jury i • s north RESTORATION OF THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. ihavinAN ICE, g LIiE 1- • —This venerable and beautiful strue - latte rly fall e n i n t o tion was resolVed ou at the estimated cost of from £S,OOO Co £lO,OOO, great disrepair, its restora tion 1-.1 P 4 SUN. LONDON, trir.Ml ','SDAY EVEfillid, SEPTEAFIER, 17, 1863, T i ‘ lr • Dawson's appearance. Unknown hitherto to the tidoodon world by name, unknown even under that nom de phone of " The Son of Ebor," far-femed, we a re left to presume, throughout the north coun try,; the wr i ter of this poetical brochure is, at any a re known to us Londiiners in one capacity as a ,Writer h anging on, as it were, by the very eye lashes to the skirts of a certain tenth sort of a muse, aspiring some five years back very frequently to ! e ar into the empyrean of literature. His identity, 11 1 this capacity, the writer of " The Harp" is him self the ono to explain and to announce, and that, moreover, with a perfectly manifest self-comPla ceee3r. Not the lyrist of Warren's Blacking, we Wou ld premise —nor yet the one whose poet's eye Was wont to roll in a fine phrenzy so very often of Sor e while cha un ti ng th e mer its of the Messrs. eel~, in Tailordom. N o : ne ither of these lite rar y celebrities disclose themselves to view, at last 14 the person of Mr. Dawson. He himself tells " With evident pride, however, who it is that is addr essing us at length in his ow n name. " The author of this poem," he says, " being the adver t:cement clerk to the late 31r. Robins, the eminent a uctioneer, in that capacity he hat: frequent oppor tunities of indulging in the descriptive ard the beautiful." Now, at last, we mi - ,y indeed compre utnd the reliance Mr. D twe.on has upon his own capacity. And we can no longer wonder to fi n d him articulating such lefty aspirations in regard to the success awaiting his present poem, when he candidly wows his cherished hope and belief in regard to This effusion of his poetic genius, that—Tasso, Gcethe, Shakspere, Virgil, could hardly wish fer more--'" The general reader will find sufficient to please, the poet sufficient to dream over, the painter to illustrate his canvas with, and the sculptor to immortalise in statuary." Modest hopes, these, truly ! Other visionaries there are, with straws in their hair, who, as Mr. Dawson believes himself to be a poet, imagine themselves to be Kings Wearing golden crowns and wielding jewelled SCeptres. To innocent dreamers like these, the d issipation of such very harmless hallincinations Were, we cannot but think, a very questionable kindness indeed. 11raclshaw's Handbook to the Tyrol. 12m0., pp. 48 W.

Its appearance is ve r y seas onable ; its getting up is precisely what it should be; its accuracy, so far as we have tested it, seems a o a be highly commendable. It is worthy of being, 4 t is tolerably certain to be, many a Tyrolese Tourist's constant and carefully cherished com &allion. 24 e North British Beview. No. LXXVII. T. and T. Clark, Edinburgh. S eale few years ago several new quarterly re ;el" Suddenly appeared upon the field which had l ong been left in almost undisputed possession to " w e or three standard favourites. Some of these Wer e publications of undoubted merit, and promi bl_nt among them was the North British _Review, "uieh at once assumed a position which it has never since failed to maintain. The character and style °f its articles rank it at once the best of its class, a nd the reader of cultivated taste and literary inte rests can always be certain of finding more than o ne article to engage his special attention. The 11 ntnber before us is no exception to the rule, since While While it by no means neglects the questions of the hour, it has several essays of that character wineh is supposed to be more especially becoming a quer terly review. The essay on Thomas de Quiucey is tee of these. It is evidently from the pen of i,ne larailier with his writings, who is keenly alive to their merits, though not insensible to their faults the works of this accomplished author will always °e held in high esteem by a select few, although they Well never he popular with the unthinkieg many. 1 ," () highly does his present critic esteem him that " e ranks him among the first hundred of the 17 0 °1 ‘id's best auth o rs.

Those who are not familiar posh Works of this great English writer will iris be dire c t e d to his pages by the glowing to here paid him; and those who are will turn i 6 Writings with renewed interest.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. With the exception of some first-class bills having been negotiated at 3i per cent., the money market to-day exhibits no feature of novelty, the ordinary inquiries being numerous, and the quo tations firm. A special meeting of the shareholders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-day for the purpose of considering the propriety of re moving Mr. Bourne from the offices of managing director and ordinary director of the company. Colonel Grimes occupied the chair, and read a very long statement, in which certain charges were pre ferred against Mr. Bourne, who, in reply, bad also published a minute of the affairs of the company rebutting the allegations made against him. [Th e meeting had not terminated when this report had left.] Since the date when the last Gazette return was published the total amount of gold sent into the Bank of England has represented £208,000. About £54,000 was taken there yesterday. The Anglesey from Port Philip has arrived this morning with £145,120.

The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (£300,000) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were, to Cal cutta 16,35,000 rupees, to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees, and to Madras 16,50,000 rupees. The minimum price was declared to be is. 110. per rupee on Cal cutta and Madras, and ls. 111 d. on Bombay, being a reduction of id. in the case of Madras. The ap plications within the limits amounted to 223 lacs. Tenders on Calcutta at Is. Had. will receive about 6 per cent. on Bombay at 25., about 87 per cent. All above these prices, and all tenders on Madras will receive in full. Two O'CLOCK. To-day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. sc. Heavy —many offers.

BOW-STEEET. - COMMITTAL Or AIV HOLESALE BURGLAR —Jas. Black burn, who already stands committed from this Court upon three cases of burglary, was again placed at the bar, charged with a number of other daring robberies. Mrs. Mary Sharp, of 19, Taviton-street, Euston-square, said on the 21st August last I went to bed at 10 minutes to 12, at which hour the fastenings of the house were, to the best of my belief, secure. The next morning I rose about seven o'clock, when I found the street door unfastened, which I had secured myself previous to going to bed. On entering the drawing-room I first missed the clock, and for that loss I unfortunately suspected one of my servants, whom I discharged. The next thing I missed was the clock out of the dining room. I also lost six spoons, an eggstand, teapot, a tablecloth, and other things, in value over £lOO. I have already laid out £25 in replacing the necessaries taken away. I identify the book, the table cloth, the efigstand, and other articles now produced, as belonging to me. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said—The prisoner was in my custody on another charge. On going to his lodgings, at No. 135, Lang Acre, I found the property of Mrs. Sharp among a large quantity of other articles. I also found some duplicates relating to property, which Mrs- Sharp had identified as hers. 1 also found a clock at a public-house in Covent-garden market, which she has also identified as hers. I examined the drawing-room windows of 19, Taviton-street, and found they could be easily opened from the outside, if the catch was not properly fixed. There is a balcony running along the front of the houses in the street, and any one getting into the balcony of the corner house could pass along to No. 19, without any difficulty. Mr. Skeet, landlord of the Britannia publichouse, Covent garden, said about three or four months ago the prisoner came frequently to my house in the costume of a sailor. I asked him what ship he belonged to; he said the yacht Gala tea. After this one morning he met me in front of the house and said he had a timepiece he would give me, as he said I had been kind to him. I told him I didn't want his present,' as I knew nothing of him except as a customer. However he brought the clock and left it. The clock now produced by Inspector Garforth is the one. The prisoner wore a gold band round his cap. Charles Kirby, of 135, Long Acre, coffeehouse keeper said the prisoner had been lodging on and off at my house about twelve months. He represented himself on the first occasion as steward cf the Intrepid. When he came last time he said he had left the Intrepid and joined the Galatea. I showed the prisoner's apartments to the police, and the articles now in court were brought to my place by him. I saw him bring in the clock spoken to by Mr. Skeetes. Thomas Stapleton, assistant to Mr. Wells, a pawnbroker produced an umbrella which had been pledged by the pri soner in the name of Smith. Mrs. Sharp identified the article as her property. Inspector Garforth said he had another serious case against the prisoner. Mr. Corrie—You have already completed four. Don't you think that's sufficient? Inspector Garforth—There is one case I should like to have taken. Mr. Corrie—Very well, let me hear it. Elizabeth Hoskins, cook to Mr. Overend, of 1, Albany terrace, Regent's -park, said—On the 23d of last August I went to bed about 11 o'clock, and securely fastened the front door before doing so, The entry to the premises must have been effected by the spare bedroom window, which had been left unfastened. When I got up in the morning I found the street door wide open. I went first to the pantry, and found the silver missing. It consisted of a dozen and a half of tea, four salt, a mustard, and six or seven dessert spoons. The book slide in court was on the drawing room table, and the despatch box (produced) was in the library. The two brooches produced must have been taken out of the bed room whilst the young ladies were asleep. A quantity of table linen was also taken away. My desk was forced open and X 2 103. taken therefrom. The whole of the silver, together with the articles in gold, amounting in value to upwards of £6O, was here pro duced by Inspector Garforth and identified by the witness as belonging to her master. Inspector Garforth formally proved the finding the pro perty at the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. Corrie (to prisoner)—l'm going to send you for trial, so if you have anything to say, now is the proper time. Prisoner—l've nothing to say. Inspector Garforth—l should wish for another remand ; there are circumstances for such a step that, if mentioned publicly, might defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Corrie—Then by all means let the prisoner be brought up again th;s day week, but at present he stands committed on five charges of burglary. Inspector Garforth—There is a large quantity of pro pel ty found at the prisoner's lodgings that has not yet been identified, and also a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates re lating to clocks, books, &c., no doubt the proceeds of bur glar.es. I have five other cases against the prisoner com plete, and in a few days, your worship, I shall have as many more. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. There is every reason to believe, from letters found in the prisoner's box, that his representations relative to his hold ing the appointment of steward to the Galatea, yacht, now at Southampton, is correct, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TILE lIANMARKET.—ASSAULTS IIY A SOLICITOR AND A CILEMIST.-Mr. George Jardine Presswell, solicitor, of New Milman-street, :was charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Mr. Samuel Robertson, of Church-street, Hackney. Complainant said—l am a stranger to the defendant. I was in the Haymarket about half-past one this morning, when I met two young men, and seeing the police were in terfering with them I gave them some good advice, once having been locked up myself. The defendant said I was a thief and a pickpocket. I then went to the Cafe Regence, and at half-past five, while standing at the door talking to the waiter, I saw the defendant and the two others passing. by. I said to the waite r , " Th ere goes a man who calkedme a thief." The defendant overheard what I said, 'came across to me and struck me in the face, saying I w as a " w—'s man," I only want the defendant to apeAogise, as he has been locked up. Defendant—l did not call him what b's says, and I thought he was a friend of the others. Sergeant Howe, 25 C—At half-past five this morning I was at the corner of Windmill-street, and saw the com plainant talking to a waiter. The defendant and others walked up Windmill street on tire opposite side of the way, and complainant called out to defendant, " You with the Dundreary hat," and then crossed over. Some high words ensued, and defendant struck complainant in the face. The defendant and others Would have passed on quietly but for the complainant. Mr. Knox—The affair is a trivial one, and if Mr. Rober tson had kept himself quiet nothing would have occurred. Still there has been an assault in the eye of the law, and I order the defendant to pay ls. Mr. Powell, chemist, of 27, Haymarket, was charged with assaulting police-constable Yeo, 316 A. The constable heard the defendant, who was in company of some prostitutes, making a great noise, and requested him to desist, but he refused, and shock the constable in a violent manner. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable, and also Holden, 297 A, said the defendant was drunk. Defendatt denied that he was drunk, and Mr. Knox offered to put the case back, that the inspector, who took the charge might attend, but the defendant declined this step, and was fined 10s, or 7 days. WESTMINSTER. ESCAPING CliElpLy.—Jane Frond, a respectable-looking woman, was charged with assaulting and wounding John Miller. The prosecutor, who was wounded over the left eye and in the hand, said that he met the prisoner's husband last night at Chelsea, and they had some words about a small sum of money which one owed the other. At length the dispute ended in a scuffle taking place between them, in the course of which the prisoner advanced towards him with a jug in her hand, and struck prosecutor a blow on the eye and a second on the hand. The blows were given with such force that the jug was broken to pieces. Prisoner said that prosecutor was striking her husband at the time, and she threw the jug, but did not strike in the mode described, Prosecutor declared that no blow had been struck between them. George Shakespeare said he was present. He heard Miller ask about come money which, it was said, was owing and the men closed, and were having a scuffle, when pri soner broke the jug over his head as described. He was wounded, and bled a pint and a half. He was taken to a doctor's and had his head dressed, but it bled even while he was at the station. Police-constable Turnbull, 61 B, said he was fetched by the prisoner, who wanted to give the prosecutor into cus tody, but finding the injury he had received Witness took him. Mr. Selfe asked prosecutor whether he would take com pensation ? Prosecutor said he would; he had no wish to press the matter against the accused, as she had a large family. Prisoner's husband wanted a summons against prosecu• tor for assaulting him. Mr. Selfe said he could not grant that after his wife had attacked prosecutor this way. To clear the score of is 10d between them and the injury, prisoner must pay pro secutor 7a. THAMES. AT TILE WRONG STATION.-Hugh Barnes, a Lancashire workman ; was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting S. Whistler, ticket collector at the Shadwell station of the Blackwall Railway. The complainant stated that the prisoner came to the Shad well station yesterday afternoon with a Poplar ticket for Gravesend. He told the prisoner he must go back to Poplar, and could not proceed to Gravesend with that ticket. The prisoner, who was very drunk, attempted to go up stairs, and to prevent his fulling into danger, he stopped him, and said he could Lot be allowed to go on the platform and endanger his life. The prisoner said he would go where he liked, and insisted on proceeding up stairs. He laid hold of the prisoner and pulled him back, on which he seized him by the coat, which he tore. A. tailor said the repairs would cost ss. The witness, who wore the torn coat, pointed to a large rent under the right arm and another in front of the coat. In answer to Mr. Partridge, the witness said titat a ticket paid for at Poplar would not entitle a man to travel to Gravesend from Shadwell. Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, said the Shadwell station was a mile and a quarter nearer London than Poplar. Wh:stier said the prisoner must have walked from Poplar to Shadwell, and did not come up by rail. The ticket was inscribed "Poplar to Gravesend —second class." The prisoner made a rambling defence, and said he was a hard-working man, and thought it very hard, after he had paid his fare, that he could not proceed to his destina tion. Mr. Partridge said there was no hardship in the case. The prisoner was not entitled to leave Shadwell for Graves end with a Poplar ticket ; and if he was, it was the bounden duty of railway companies and their servants to prevent drunken men or women travelling on their lines under any pretence whatever. The complainant had acted most pro perly and discreetly. He fined the prisoner Is., and ss, in addition for the damage done to the coat. MARKETS —This Day. MARK-LANE.

Caution to the Public against "Advertising Tipsters," As horse-racing has long been the national sport of land, and patronised and encouraged by the highest in the land, we think it right to warn our readers and the public against those professional " Advertising Tipsters" who live upon the credulity of those who unthinkingly place confi dence in them. The following are a few examples, copied from the columns of the Manchester Guardian, of their pretended foreknowledge of the ultimate results in a greet race : THE ST. LEGER STAKES. Sefton's Selection : —St. Leger win ner a t 40 to 1. Lord Clifden, Ranger, and Queen Bertha have no chance. Henry Hotspur, the great turf adviser (not the talented writer for the Daily Telegraph), 5ay5......“ W e ll s w i ll win the St. Leger on the flyer I will send you, now at 30 to 1; Lord Clifden has no chance." Again, the same worthy says:— " Lay against Lord Clifden, Ranger, Golden Pledge, and Avenger for the St. Leger, for these are the horses book makers get their farms and mansions out of, as they are not in the hunt, and the winner is still at good odds. As a climax to the above, we will give one more from a Macclesfield "Bull" and leave our sporting readers to judge for themselve3 1;500 —A Challenge to the World.— St. Leger, a certainty; could carry 10 stone and beat Lord Clifden ; pepper that gentleman and back my flyer. I have the best things ever sent out for Cesarewitch and Ca mbridgeshire, now at 100 to 1; will see 5 to 1, and wi n . One week, 12 stamps ; one month, 30 ; season, is. 6d." NEW DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII—A house has been uncovered, which, to judge from the splendour of its interior, and its almost entirely preserved furniture' must have belonged to a very wealth y proprietor. The triclinium . (dining room) paved with m osa i c, represent i ng a number of gourmandeses of the time. The completely served table is covered with petrified remnants of dishes; and around it are found three divans, or rather table-beds, of bronze, richly adorned with gold and silver, upon which reposed several skeletons. A great many precious jewels were found near them. On the table stood, among other ornaments, a very beautifully worked statue of Bacchus in silver, with eyes of enamel, a collar of jewels, and precious armlets. A GALLANT very gallant and deter mined act was performed by Commander Edward Wilmot, of the Euryalus, flag-ship of Admiral Kuper, on the night of June 25 last. While the ship was at anchor at Yokohama one of the marine sentries fell overboard, and being encumbered with his full accoutrements instantly sank, together with a seaman who had rushed overboard to his assistance. Commander Wilmot, at this critical moment, jumped overboard, and having dexterously placed himsel, under the drowning men, brought them both to the surface and safely on board. This is not the first act of the like nature this gallant officer has performed, and his presence on the spot, which was quiet accidental, was most fortunate on this occasion in saving two valuable lit-es. REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTIL—We learn that it is the intention of the Hon. Henry Cowper, brother of Earl Cowper and captain of the Ist Herts Rifle Corps, to be the Liberal candidate for the representation of Tamworth, rendered vacant by the accession of Lord Raynham to the peerage.—lTerts and _Essex Journal. A portion of a Roman road has just been dis covered at Trier by some men engaged in digging a cellar. It is six feet below the surface; its upper stratum is com posed of very hard pebbles laid down three feet deep, and resting on blocks of limestone. SECOND EDITION. SQN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE. Sept. 15.—The demand for flax, tow, and codilla was very languid to-day again, and few transactions are reported. The better qualities have undergone little change in value, but the tendency is in favour of the buyer. Common is irregular in price, and can be bought lower than on last market. The recent fall in prices in the Baltic ports has in dueed more free on board business, and there is still much offering out. Jute in good request, and very saleable, at a small advance, but the market not well supplied with suitable qualities. To-day there was great animation in yarns and linens. A large business done in them. Flax and tow yarns were much wanted, and higher prices freely paid for them for delivery months hence. The American advices re port less doing in linens, owing to the great ad vance in the exchange, but buyers here continue to operate extensively, having confidence in the sta bility of that market. The demand for other foreign markets continues excellent. LEICESTER, Sept. 16.--There is a good deal of activity in the hosiery trade. Regular goods meet a good sale, arid there is yet a fair demand for fancy hosiery. Manufacturers hold busy with orders on hand. In the rural districts business is without much change. The yarn-market is firm, and there is a fair demand for material, very high prices being made. lirools are selling at late rates. NOTTINGHAM, Sept. 16.—There is little if any more doing in cotton-lace goods this week than last. It is usually a quiet period of the year, and the present season is no exception. There are some small orders for Mechlin quiltings in the market, and a few plain nets are finishing, otherwise very little is doing in cotton fabrics. The silk-lace trade is rather quiet. Yarns continue exceedingly dear, and the market remains very firm. GERMANY AND DENMARK. A letter from Frankfort, in the Botschafter, data the 9th inst., aays :—" I am enabled to give you the information that Austria has made a positive decla ration, as regards Federal execution in Holstein, to all the Great Powers—to France, Russia, and Eng land, especially to the latter, that the Dano-German question must be settled, and that Federal execu tion has become indispensable if Denmark should persist in her resistance, no matter what the con sequences m a y b e . Th e l an guage of Austria is very decided, and has not been modified by the objections whi c h the Great Powers—especially England, have made. Austria has declared, in a straightforward manner, that it rests with the Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent armed intervention, that Denmark, not Germany, must give in." A letter from Hanover, dated 9th September, says :-" I am able to inform you, from an au thentic source, that preparations are being made in our military circles for carrying out Federal execution in Schleswig and Holstein, and it will very shortly take place, despite the attempts of mediation which have been made since the recep tion of the last Danish note." A letter from Copenhagen, dated 7th September, says :—" The Swedish Minister M. de Mander stroem, has left our city, after having held long conferences both here and at Malmoe, with H. Hall, at which the English Ambassador was pre sent. In these conferences the details of an offen sive and defensive alliance between Sweden and Denmark were settled. Although this alliance is an accomplished fact, it is still wanting in one point. The reciprocal signatures have not yet been put to it. This is not without importance. I can tell you from a reliable source that they will not be put until Federal execution shall have actually commenced. Military preparations are going on actively. Two more ships of war have left for Flensburg." The Constitutionnel has the following Will the Federal Diet have recourse to arms ? This is the question which is now under ditcussion at Frank tort, at B e rlin, an d a t Vi enna . I n a f ew days the political and military reports will be ready which have been o r d ere d by t h e Met. lie doubt, however, whether any ac ti ve Meabtlie% W i ll be taken at once." Liverpool Cotton Market----This Day. (REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) Quieter and steady. Sales, about 10,000 bales. Imports, 5,282; previously, 8,782. The Aissa-Outra, one of the most fanatic sects of Islamism, have just celebrated at Algiers the anniversary of the birch of Mahomet. The scene was a very exciting one. Some of them applied their tongues to hot iron; others performed the exercise of the trapeze on very sharp sabre blades; others ate scorpions or plunged sharp pieces of iron into their eyes and made them start from their orbits, and some enthusiasts capped all these performances by swallowing the most prickly leaves of the cactus. Serpent charmers also exercised their calling; they made necklaces and bracelets of those reptiles, irritated them, and then calmed them by playing on the flute, thus rendering them so tame that they went into the men's mouths without king and injury, - '11.1.• )er or D, and their tober, , and 7ants. )ns of Ilages :ts oa ing of onths 'ever, e en- aei Fer liar ery aill ir ry- of -a w I
