CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The rates of discount continue firm, end the en quiry is active, but the market is more liberally supplied. Tne bidding for 40.00.000 rupees (.£400,0 ( l0) in bills on India, took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were to Cal cutta, 22.00.000 rupees, to Bombay 16.00.000 rupees, and to Madras 2.00.000 rupees. The de clared minimum price was as before, ls. 114 d. per rupee on Calcutta, and Is. Did. on Bombay and Madras. The applications within the limits amounted to 107 hes.. Tenders en Calcutta at ls. 111 d. will receive about 32 per cent.; on Bombay at Is. about 21 per cent, ; on Madras at ls. abuut 45 per cent., and all above these prices in full. A further sum of £40,000 in gold was taken into Bank yesterday. A circular has been issued to the shareholders of the London and Colonial Bank, intimating that a head branch has been opened in Montreal, Canada, 6. , and that an agency has been established in Toronto. The directors refer to the visit of Mr. Tait, one of their number, to Canada, whose mission has re stilted in arrangements very favourable to the interests of the Bank. The warrants for interest at the rate of 5 per cent on the shares of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Corn pang, for the three months ending the 30th ult, have just been issued. Mr. Blackwell, the Indian manager to the company, has just arrived in this country, and the directors intimate that he will be present at the ensning general meeting.

Two o'CLock. A special meeting of the Van Diemen's L.nd ,71 Company was held to day for the purpose of elect ing a deputy governor, and disposing of the for- s' feited shares. Mr. V. Knight, who occupied the chair, stated that under the provisions of the recen act the directors proposed to sell 116 shares, being a portion of those forfeited. The proceeds from the sale would discharge the expenses incurred in ob- I .1 taining the new Act of Parliament, and also pay off the liabilities of the late Chancery suit. The pros- 8 , pects of the company were more encouraging now than at any other time, and the directors enter tained good hopes that at the next meeting they would be able to declare a dividend. A . 1 resolution in acoordance with the suggestions : I t of the directors was unanimously agreed to. It was also resolved to offer the shares to the public 4t by tender. Mr. V,llentine Knight was elected the u . Deputy Governor of the Company. At Paris his morning, according to Mr. R euter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 55c. The transactions in the market for the English Funds continue on a very limited scale, but not withstanding the inactivity of speculation prices' remain st-ady.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 13 7s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-tothe t er cent. dea er in London than in Paris. Ky advises from hamburg the price ox gold is 415 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 i per £1 sterling. tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham- burg ['he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1551 to 1561 per cent., and the premium on ZOli is about 42; per cent. At these rates there is a profit on flae importation of told from the United States. Ile :journals of Rome state that the anniversary of the Pope's coronation, the 21st, was observed in that city with considerable pomp. A grand service was celebrated in the chapel at the Vatican, and afterwards Cardinal Mattei, the senior member of the Sacred College, renewed to his Holiness the expression of the members' af fectionate devotedness.

Selected breeds ruled steady, at full prices; but in ferior stock was dull, at late rates. The best Scots corn manded 6s 2d per Sibs. Sheep —the show of which was moderately good—were in fair request, and prices were well supported. The best Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for lambs, at from 5s 4d to 6s 4d per llbs. The veal trade was in a sluggish state, at Mon day's decline. Prices ranged from 3s 8d to 4s 8d per Sibs.

ROBBERY OF DIAMOND EARRINGS OF £l5O VALUE AT A COURT JEWELLER . S—After Mr. fyrwhitt tJok his seat on the bench this morning, at a quarter-past 11, John Rice, a well dressed man, who refused his address, said he was of no occupation, and who, at the time he was taken into cus tody, was wearing a watch and chain of the value of £3O, was charged by Inspector Tanner, of the Detective Depart ment, Scotland-yard, with being concerned with another man not in custody in stealing a pair of diamond earrings of the value of £l5O, a 79 A Br ok-street, the property of Mr. Harry Emanuel, court jeweller. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, prosecuted, and Mr. Ed ward Lewis, of Great Marlborough•strect, defended. Mr. Lewis, jun., having opened the case, called Mr. Arthur Wm. Young, an assistant to Mr. Emanuel, who said - On the 18th of Jurie last, between one and two o'clock, the prisoner and another man came into the shop, and walked up to the counter where I was serving. The other man asked to see some necklets,and some were shown him by another assistant. The man said they would not suit him, and that ho wanted something more expensive. I then brought .ut some diamond locaet:;, with chains attached to them. At that time a tray was placed on the counter by Mr. Beasley, the assistant, an open tray about 18 inches in length. It contained diamond brooches and earrings in little boxes of the description of the one produced, and at the time a pair of diamond-top earrings were in a little case. While engaged talking to the other man I observed the prisoner go to the tray and take out a box and lock at a diamond orooch with the word " souvenir," in diamonds on it, but after examining it he put it down again. The prisoner remained at the tray for about three mitutes while 1 was talking to the other man, but I had not my eyes on him all the while. At this time an assistant named Beck entered at the front door, and the prisoner removed from the tray, and came up to the ether man and spoke to him, but he could not hear what passed, and the prisoner than left, Laving the other man behind. The other man then in about three minu'es said he would call on Saturday and see seine fine emeralds, and left, and directly altPr I missed the pair of earrings from the tray placed on the counter. Mr. Lewis, jun.—l suppose the man did not keep his promise as to calling on Saturday ? The witness—He did not, and I have not seen him since. At the time the prisoner wore the same gold chain with a guinea attached, as that produced. From informatiou I yesterday receit ed from Mr. Gough, assistant to Messrs. Garrards, 1 went into Oxford-street, and there saw the prisoner, who, seeing me, ran away, but I pursued him and gave him into custody. The prisoner had two other men with hint at the time, but they succeeeaed in getting away. On telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Oh, you have made a mistake, for I've beau myself robbed of two L 5 neF es." Mr. Edward Lewis having put a few questions to the witness on behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Frederick Gough, ssiatant to NI essrs. Garrards, of Pauton•street, j( wellers, ice., said—Yesterday, about three o'clock, the prisoner and another wan entered our esta blishment. After leaving, in consequence of a suspicion I Celt, I followed them, and saw teem joined by a third man in Panton-street. They all wont into an oyster shop, and then went and looked in a jeweller's window. They then went on, and walked twice past Messrs Hunt and I-Ls:Kars, in Bond-street, and then wont into Mr. Turner's, a jewel ler, and afterwards to Messrs. Elise and Thomas's, in Ox ford-street. I gave information to the last witness. Mr. Lewis, jun.—l shall now ask your worship for a j remand. Mr s Tyrwhitt—l will remand them till Wednesday next -WESTMINSTER.

Police -constable. 86 A, states that about 10 o'clock last night, he was on duty in plain clothes at the gardens when he observed the prisoners moving about among the com pany. Their conduct excited his suspicion, when witness was induced to watch their motions, Witness alter a short time saw one of the prisoners put his hand into the pocket of a female. Upon his leaving he asked her if she had lost anything. She replied that she had not. The prisoner afterwards went on, when he observed the other prisoner, who had a coat on his atm, go up to a gentleman and pine his hand upon a gentleman's watch guard. Wit ness knocked away the prisoner's hand, and took him into custody. Witness then obtained the assistance of two police constables who, with him, conveyed the prisoners to the station-house.

Smith, the proprietor. Mr. Smyth was engaged for the prisoner.

He stopped him and communicated Kith Mr. Smith, upon which he was given into custody. Mr. Clifford, the head cook, stated that the cooks on leav . ing were generally allowed some of the provisions that were left. He gave the prisoner his portion, and also another portion for another cook. Mr. Arnold remarked that the prisoner was wrongfully given into custody. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. PERSONATING A DETECTIVE. -- Henry Young, a car man, out of place, about 35 years of age, and of shabby genteel appearance, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with falsely representing himself as a detective officer of the Metropolitan Police Force. Crane Barrett sad he kept a Tom and Jerry, or beer_ shop, called the Bank of Friendship, in the West India• road. Last night, at half past 11, the prisoner cane to his house and represented himself to Mrs. Barrett as a detec tive, and said he int' sided to lay an intormation. He asked the prisoner what he meant, to which Le replied, " If you don't come up right 1 shall know what to do," He said, " What authority have youfor pretending to be a detective ?" The prisoner said ho was a detective, and he intended to bring witnesses forward to prove there was gambling in the house. He be , ged of the prisoner not to give talse infor mation. T►ie prisoner then bade him good night. In an wer to questions by the magistrate, the witness stated that his wife could nut attend, and she was very much alarmed by the prisoner's visit. Alexander Munroth, a clothier and boarding-house keeper, said he heard the prisoner say he was a detecti‘e, and belonged to the K division of police, and he intended to bring Mr. Barrett to cue Thames Police Court for suffering gambling, card pla3ing, and other games in his house. Sorrell, a police constable, said that at half-p ►at ten o'clock last night he saw the prisoner talking to a prosti tute in the West India-road, and spoke to him. The prisoner said there was a man named Evans in the Bank of Friendship playing at cards, and that there was a war rant out against him. He pulled his hat off to prevent being discovered, looked through a pane of glass in the window and could see no one. Mr. Phillip Beare, inspector of the K division, 'said the prisoner was formerly a police-constable of the K and was dismissed 18 mouths ago for drunkenness. The prisoner had been working for the Limited Company, at the Orchard-house, Blackwall. Mr. Partridge said it was clear to him the prisoner assumed the character of a detective for the purpose of ex torting money. He fitted the prisoner £5, and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Ye ster day , Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, concluded the in , quiry, at Streatham, into the circumstances connected with the Brighton railway accident of the 29th of May last. After several persons employed on the line had been exa mined, Mr. John Scott Russell was called by Mr. Faithful, on behalf of the company. He stated that he considered tank engines the safest and best kind of engine that could be used for traffic on this particular line, namely, between Victoria, London Bridge, and Croydon. He had heard nothing to account for the accident, except the irregular shutting off of the steam. Colonel Yolland, who had mace an inquiry by direction of the Board of Trade, said that the permanent-way was not strong enough to bear the weight of the engine and carriag , -s running at such a speed. He did not think it expedient to run at the nee of 60 miles an heur with tank en g i nes h av i ng 18t t. 6i n . w h ee l basis, espe cially wrien the engine was not tightly screwed up to the break van behind it. The jury, after deliberating for an hour, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased persona severally came by their deaths from accident, and we, the jury : are of opinion that it was attributable to the high rate of speed at which the express trains run over the line from Croydon to Victoria. The jury would urge on the directors of the London and Brighton Company the necessity of allowing more time for the performance of the Journey, and that careful attention should be given to the coupling of tee trains.'' The Wester Zeitung states that the works at the port of J.:hde have ❑ot suffered any delay iu conse quence of the present state of the internal affairs of Prussia; but, on the contrary, are being carried on with great energy, upwards of 1,800 men being constantly employ , cl on them.

THE CAVALRY FIGHT AT ALDIE, The special correspondent of the New York Times gives the following detailed account of the cavalry fight at Aldie on the 17th ult., which is described as one of the sharpest cavalry battles of the war : " Aldie, Wednesday, June 17. " The advance of General Gregg's cavalty command reached this place about 2 o'clock this afternoon, where two brigades of the enemy, commanded by General Stuart in person, were found in possession. After three hours' hard fighting they were forced to retire. The fight while it lasted was one of the sharpest that has occurred dieting the war, and as a consequence the loss of officers and men on both sides is very heavy. The enemy's pickets were first en countered a little east of the village by companies II and M of the 2d New York (Harris) Light Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Daniel Whittaker, and were by them driven through the town back to a ridge of hills half a mil© to the west, extending across from the Middle burgh and Snicker's Gap-road, where the rebel force was in position ready for action. The advance brigade, under Gen. Kilpatrick, immediately moved through to the western edge of the town. The Ist Maine (Colonel Douty) was sent off to a point half a mi e to the left, and the 4th New York (Colonel Cesnola) to the right, to support a section of An drews's battery, placed on a rise of ground north of the Snicker's Gap-road. The enemy at this time occupied the hill, as before stated, where they had four guns in position; a line of their skirmishers occupied a fence on the eastern slope, and a long ditch, just in front of which were half-a dozen stacks of hay, thus commanding both Middteburgh and Snicker's Gap-road. A. stronger position could not well have been selected. When the exect position of the enemy had been ascertained by drawing their fire, General Kilpatriuk rode up to the 24 New York (Harris Light), and said then was the time for them to wipe out the reflection cast upon them for their alleged misconduct in the fight of last week at Brandy Station. He ordered them to charge into the valley and secure the haystacks; the ditch or ravine at the rear of this position had not then been discovered. Companies H and M, accompenied by Lieuts. Whittaker. Raymond, Martinson, Human, ana Stuart, moved off down the Middl,burgh-road, the fence to the right was quickly thrown down, and with a dash this for lorn hope rushed up to the haystacks, For the first time their fire was opened from the ditch a little to the rear of the haystacks. This was filled with rebel cavalry, many of them armed with rifles. Capt. Grintar with Lieutenants Mattison and Shafer, and Company K, dashed up imme diately to the support of these companies, F, I, D, and G went to the right up the Snicker s Gap road a piece, turned to the left, crossed the field, and reached the scene of conflict in time to teke an active part. The contest for 20 minutes at this point was about as spirited a scene as is often witnessed on a bettlefield. Tire 6th Ohio, Major Steadman, was sent up the road to the left to support the Harris Light, when the whole command, with the Major at its head, dashed into the fight just in time to decide the unequal contest. The rebels were forced to abandon their position, and all who were not killed or captured fled pre cipitately up the hill. They made a short wand behind the fence, when a dash from a battalion of the 4th New York, called on from its position behind the battery, together with the other regiments already named, drove them peli-mell over the hill, The Ist Maine about this time was called in from the left, and with the Ist Massachuesets, stationed on the Snicker's Gap road, sent to a position held by the 2d battalion of the 4th New York. The rebels at this time charged down the same road and drove before them a squadron, when General Kilpatrick ordered the Ist Maine (Colonel D011ty), Ist Massachusetts (Lieutenant -Colonel Curtis, and a battalion of the 4th New York, under Colonel Cesnola, to charge up the road. There was a little hesitancy at first, when General Kilpatrick, ac companied by Colotel Douty. of the let Maine, and Captain Costar, of General Pleasanton's Staff, went to the front and called upon the toops to follow. Thera was no hesitancy then. Ihe Maine bays gave three cheers for General Kil patrick, and the whole column made a dash up the road in the face of a terrible fire from carbines,riflles, and cannon, sweep ing everything before them. This virtually ended the fight. The rebels, after a little more skirmishing, fell back, and our forces to-night occupy their position. Col. Cesnola was under arrest at the commencement of the action, but set such a gallant example ro his men, by heeding the first eharge without his sword, that upon returning to the road General Kilpatrick released him from arrest and placed upon him his own sword. He immediately after partici pated in the charge with the Ist Maine, Ist Massachusetts, and 4th New York, and has not been seen since. A ser geant of the regiment asserts that he saw the Colonel fall, and he is sure that he was killed, and some of the rebel prisoners confirm this report. But the report of his death is not generally believed. In this charge Gen. Kilpatrick had a horse shot under him, and Colonel Douty, of the Ist Maine, was killed. When returning from the charge the body was found by Capt. Vaughn, who had it propery cared for. Two shots struck him, probably at about the same time. The Ist Massachusetts captured the battle flag of the 4th Vir ginia Cavalry. More than 100 prisoners were captured, mem bers principally of the is', 3e, 4th, and sth Virginia cavalry. They say they were under the command of General Stuart. Among the prisoners is one colonel, three majors, and a lot of line officers. The major and 60 men, who were stationed behind the haystacks, were nearly all captured. The major considered his position impregnatle, not believing that any cavalry would dare make a charge upon the place, swept as the whole field was by three lines of guns. The meeting of General Gregg's command Wes entirely unexpected by the rebels. Stuart had arrived thus far on a forced march into Maryland, having marched 25 miles this morning, and ex pecting t be on the road again in the evening. Two regi ments had entered the town, and had pressed into their ser vice all the blacksmith's toools to be found ; and when our advance guard approached they were busily engaged shoeing horses. To-day the command of colonel Duffle passed through Thoroughfare G ,p, after a brief fight., and to-night occupies Middleburgb. five miles from Aldie, and in the rear of Stuart's army. Stuart will have to fight to-morrow at a disadvantage, or, what is more probable, sae ale off to-night Captain Allen, of the 4th New York Cavalry, came through the rebel lines with this news." THE CHARITY CHILDREN IN ST. PAUL'S When the children rite &gain, there rises simu •,aneously in a tall red box, like aPunch's show with the top off, an energetic figure in a surplice, armed with a long wick ; the organ begins to play, and, led by the man in the surplice, the children commence the Hundredth Psalm, which is sung in alternate verses, the children on the right taking the first verse, and the second being taken up by those on the left. I had heard much of this performance, and, like, all those things of which we hear much, I was a , little disappointed. I had heard of people being very much , affected; of their bursting into tears, and showing other signs of being overcome. I saw nothing of this. The voices of the children were fresh, pure, and ring ing ; but where 1 stood at least, very close to the choir, there was a shrillness in the tone, which at times was discordant and almost painful. There was also a marked peculiarity in the strong sibillation given to the letter "S" in any words in which it occurred. Several times during the ensuing ser vice the children sang much in the same manner, and I began to think that all I had heard was overrated, when after a Berm n during which many of them had refreshed themselves with more than forty winks, and considerably more than forty thousand nods, they burst into the glorious Hallelujah chorus. The result was astonishing. I cannot describe it. At each repetition of the word " Hallelujah," by the 4,000 fresh voices, you felt your eyes sparkle and your cheeks glow. There was a sense of mental and phy sical exhilaration which I not only felt myself, but marked in all around me. Now for the first time I understood how the effect of which I had been told had been produced; now I comprehended how the "intelligent foreigner" (who is always brought foward as a reference) had said that such performance could not be matched in the world. — Dickens's " 41l the Year Round."

No Decidedly the most successful fete this society has given since its removal to the gardens at South Kensington was the grand summer show of fruit and flowers held yesterday. The weather was " bright and glorious summer" in every sense of the term. There was a clear sky and a bright sun, with the heat tempered by a cooling western . breeze. The entries were unpreeedenteCay numerous; the specimens presented at the altars of Pomona and ,Flora were of unusual excellence, and the company was highly di s ti n ggished. In the floral part of the exhihition the roves, which as ttsrio at this season form the great attraction, were for the most part of wondrous perfection, and in almost endless variety. Ferns and foreign plants of the variegated-leaved species were also numerous, the caladias, bigonias, and other kindred species being largely in the ascendant, and ell first class. In the fruit department the grapes were conspicuous, both for size and form, and the peaches, nectarines, strawberries, and cherries were marvels of gardening skill. Amongst the company present we observed tee Queen of Prussia at tended by the Cou n t ess S c h u l en b ourg , the Countess Schwerin, Prince Ed war d o f S axe W e i mar, and Count Boos ; their Royal Highn esses t h e P r i ncess Helena and the Princess Louisa, attended by Lady Caroline Barring ton and the Honourable Mr. West ; the L uchess of St. Albans, Duchess of Sutherland, his Excellency the Russian Ambassador, Baroness de Rothschild, Lord H.

Sir MORTON PETO moved " that the order for the second reading on Monday next be read and discharged, and that the bill be read a second time to-morrow." He complained that the hon. member for Stafford (Alderman Sydney) yesterday, acting for the City of London, took a step with respect to this bill without communicating with the agents, utterly opposed to the ordinary practise of the house, and which he was quite justified in stigmatising as more tike the practises of sharp barristers at the Old Bailey than worthy of a member of that house, to which. he apprehended, an apology was due. The course he had adopted in no way affected the viaduct over Ludgate-hill. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said he took the step he did as en independent member. Re desired to prevent the dis figuration of the town. If, however, the parties b ill woul per mit tue city authori ties to appear against the i n coin. , mittee, he would supp ort the rescinding of his motion o f yesterday. Mr. MASSEY intimated that on Monday e would propose the standing orders be suspended, so that the bill could be proceeded with i n the ordinary way, and without classification. After some discussion the motion wasiwithdrawn on this understanding. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILL. Mr. EWART, in moving the second reading of this bill, entered at some length into its purpose. The object sought to be attained by the bill was the intro s into this country of the decimal and metrical system of weights and measures, which had long worked vary sue cessiully in France and several of the continental countries. The system would facilitate trade, and be tound moat use- Jul in keeping the national accounts and in the collection of the revenue. The plan, if adopted, would have to be ac companied by a decimal system of coinage. Mr. BAINES seconded the motion. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill, because its inconveni ences would far outweigh its conveniences. Mr. LOCKE dwelt upon the anomalies in the present system ot weights and measures, especially upon the absurd difference between troy and avoirdupois weight, and the wine bottles of the continent, especially of Germany. He should vote for the second reading, because it would be a step in the right direction, but should be glad to see the subject referred to a select committee so that it might be thoroughly investigated. Mr. P. URQUHART supported the bill. The various weights and measures throughout the country were very confusing, and to bring them all into uniformity was im peratively demanded. ale introduction of the new system into the Government establishments would save £500,000 a year, which would enable the Government to reduce the income tax a halfpenny in the pound. Mr. ADDERLEY supported the bill. The time had arrived when a new and common sense syste m ought to be adopted, which would lead to an enormous augmentation of the wealth of the country . Mr. BAINES strongly supported the bill, and quoted the opinions of the various Chambers of Commerce inte rested in the home and foreign trade in its favour. He held that it would not be difficult to introduce the system into our schools. Sir M. FAttQUHAR considered that this bill would work well, if endowed with a permissive character, so that the people might become gradually used to it. He appre hended that there was no hope ot the bill being passed in the present session ; he trusted, however, his hon. friend av,aeld re introduce it next year, and he was satisfied that so excellent a measure would meet with very liberal sup. port. Mr. HUBBARD denied that the manifold benefits indi cated had sprung out of the decimal system, and neither would its adoption in the future. He was in favour of leaving things as they were. Mr. COBDEN was in layour of the decimal system. All enlightened turn, e xcept perhaps Lord Overetone, ware in tavour ot the change. '1 he witnesses examined before the committee last y ear, of which he was a member, were over whelming in its layout —some of them, Professor de M.organ among the number, testifying that its adoption would twee halt' the time of boys at school, as far as arithmetic was concerned. When engaged in Paris during a period of six months on the international treaty his time was greatly occupied in changing the description cC prices from one language to the other, and he confessed. that he felt humiliated at the dislocated, incoherent, and inconsistent nature of the English syst.m as contrasted with the logical, symmetrical, and consistent plan adopted in France. They were all agreed that the system ot weights and measures ought to be altered, and as it was full of absurd anomalies and illogical disagreements, no time should be lost in introducing an amended system like the one proposed. A new system must however, inclu de a decimal system of coinage. There were difficulties in the• transition of course, but the Huard of Trade could easily' overcome that difficulty. A facile list of equivalents would easily be understood. He appealed to his rig ht hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade (Mr. M . Gibson) to re solutely take the matter in hand. Mr. FERRAND held that if the measure eras to be com pulsory, it ought to be compensatory also. Small s hop keepers and others ought to be reimbursed the value of their weights. Mr. M. GIBSON had not a word to fitly against the me eoaftnehaderresd the public trical system, but he feared that: caomeomroitptueelsoNrvyhimeheassautroen, with a combination of new names for old ones, would not at once be very acceptable.

B SMITH supported the bill, as also did Colonel STYES. Mr. EWART would withdraw the bill, if the Govern ment would facilitate it in the schools and elsewhe re. Mr, M.

The house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading llO Against it 735 Majority —35 The result elicited much cheering from the supporters of the bill. The bill was then read a second time. SHEEP, &c., CONTAGIOUS DISEASES PRE VENTION BILL. Mr. HOLLAND withdrew this bill. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, end the house rose a few minutes before six o'clock. the The Journal des Landes states that a fatal acci dent occurred a few days back, during a bull fight, at the fete of Grenade, in that department. A man, named Palocque, entered the arena to fight a bull well known for its fierceness, t.nd was instantly so fearfully gored in the left side by the animal that he died ten minutes afterwards. How LADY MARY " FOUND OUT" INOCULA TION.—At a time when small-pox was as destruc tive as the plague itself, Lady Mary Wortley gontagtz happening to be at Adrianople, was struck with the fact that the Turks were in the habit of making terms with the 1 disease, by receiving it into their system by w ay of the skin, instead of by the lungs, as in the natural mode of in fection. Possibly the lively nature of the lady's trs had more to do with the sensation this new practice Menacreated in England than the magnitude of the truth she made and to this day we believe that the pub lic have some idea that it was a discovery made by her ladyship, and which on she had the boldness to put in prac tice up her own son. Yet no fact is more certain than that throughout Asia the practice of inoculation had obtained for ages—aud that the Chinese—the inevitable nation to which we have always to go tuck for the birth of any great discover cally employed inoculation as early as the goLth ceanrufuerTc.) Yet strange to say, in Asia this precious knowledge y—syetemati a dead stand still—and had it not been for the livieliyntEocnEgnligsh. lady, inoculation might not have been introd land for another half century, That inocula would even now be in the womb of practiceuine* of vaccination and p.ossiblayce vaccination us that the dis. tion was a grand step towildhsoutghtel s cence did not at the there can be little doubt, fact. the skin was infinitel same time appreciate . ease received into thecae disease " caught" by inhal • 'y less dangerous than t he which medic. inhalation h the lungs, a circumstance the ulationTlt)3traught medicine cannot throag The deaths from smallpot during;' in this day. exP"`",.;it°savers eoidemics of the last century s< nne —: the t hird of those attacked, but - were not than a t inoculation reduce d t h ese deetta to on ' prac • . tics 0 1 dred.—Owe a week. __e lu t\ ,,,,, 1.. Yv Lam- Mbasides.z DOES SMOKING PRODUCE CANCER. There is still one ether form of cancerous disease which deserves consideration ; I mean dater of the lower lip. The lower lip is affecteEl, not unfrequently, in the pre disposed, with a variety of cancer called from its spreading and superficial character "epithelial cancer." It has been observed unquestionably ot this cancer that it occurs fre quently in persons who smoke short pipes, and that it breaks out at that part of the lower lip where the pipe produces an impression. Here therefore we may, without hesilatb , n, assume that smoking excites the cancerous ellsorder ; but, as I said some time since, this exciting cause is indirect in its action, inasmuch as it is connected with the pipe, and not with the tobacco; for it has been found by experience that the mischief does not become developed in cigar smokers, nor even in those who smoke pipes having a smooth surface, and which are of sufficient length, and as a consequence are cool—but that the accident happens mainly from the use of the short cutty pipe, which is held very firmly in the lips without any support from the hand, and conveys to the lip considerable heat, amounting some times almost to pain. Those who are opposed to tobacco will naturally accept the fact above given as a condemnation of the weed, Those who advocate tobacco, on the other hand, will assert that the statement, it true, tells nothing against tobacco itself, but simply against an objectionable way of using it; and I confess that this latter view of the subject is the one , with which I should agree. Nay, Ido not know whether something more may not be said even on the tobacco aide ot the controversy, for the truth is this, that whenever the pipe brings out the disease, as we have seen, there existed in the person affected a strong predisposition which would, almost to a certainty, become developed in some one part or other of the body, if it did not break out in the lip. Under such circumstances the life of the sufferer will be considerably lengthened or shortened, according to the point at which the disease manifests itself, and if there is one point of the body more favourable than another for the de velopment of cancer, it is the lip, and if there is one form that is more open to cure l y operation than another, it is the epithelial cancer which occurs in the lip. Hence in the run of cases, it may rather be an advantage than otherwise that the cancerous disease should be thrown out at a spot where, tor a time at least, it may divert the development of the fatal growth from more vital organs, and where, in ex tremity, it lies with'n the reach of treatment, and even of cure.—Dr. Richardson to the Social Science Review. CONFEDERATE CRU IS ERS.—The New York Herald says that the Confederates have no less than five steamers and four sailing vessels at work preying upon the commerce of the Federals, and that in fact they are gt- tang up quite a respectable flotilla upon the ocean. The steamers are the Alabama, the Florida (late Oreto), Georgia (late Japan), Robert Lee, and a steamer, the name of which is unknown, stationed off Cape Horn. The sailing vessels ate the bark Lapwing, tender to the Florida; the bark Tacony, or Florida No. 2; and two vessels, names unknown, cruising between Rocas Reef and 3 dt g. east of the island of Fernando de Noronha. Already they have captured, burn, and destroyed no less than 128 vessels. EDINBURGH VERSUS DUBLIN.—The question of precedence us between these two cities has been raised in consequence of what passed on the presentation of addresses to her Majesty on the occatron of the Prince of Wales's marriage. Ulster King at-Arms was requested to rep rt to the Lord .Lieutenant of Ireland upon the subject, and discusses it accordingly in a paper in which he de scribes the claim of Edinburgh as founded upon three reasons-1. That the Scottish Act of Union was earlier in date than the Irish; 2. That the arms of Scotland are quartered in the Royal shield before the alms of Ire land ; 3. That by the Acts of Union and Scotland the retrs of Scotland take rank before the peers of Ireland. Ulster maintains the insufficiency of these letsons, and he right of Dublin to precedence, and he mentions that it was a city in the time of Ptolemy. But the Govern ment having referred this report to Garter Kng-at- Arms for his observations thereon, that officer of State has given his opinion, stating that these three reasons satisfy him that precedency belongs to Scotland as the elder, and as it were the twin sister of England. He relies much on the position of the arms of Scotland and of Ire land in the national achievement, and remarks that since the Union in 1801 the standard of Scotland has preceded that of Ireland, the great officers of Scotland have pre ceded those of Ireland, and the officers of arms of Scotland have preceded those of Ireland, as may be seen by the ce remonial of the coronation of George IV. Some reliance has been placed on the privilege claimed by the Corpora tion of Dublin of presenting addresses to the Sovereign on the throne, but Garter observes that this is not shown to have occurred until January, 1821, in the reign of George IV., and a similar honour was enjoyed by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh when they pre sented an address to the same monarch at ,Holyrood in August, 1822. Many privileges may be given to one body, not enjoyea by another, without thereby affecting the rank or prebedence of either, THE GUARDS AT WATERLOO.

The Prussians having now arrived in force on French right, a general a dvance on the whole line was or• dered, and the d a y Wua WOO. During the battle our squares presen ted a shock in g sight. Inside were nearly suffocated by the smoke and swell from burnt cartridges. It was impos sible to move a yard without treading upon a wounded com rade, or the bodies of the dead; and the loud groans of the d dg wounded auwere most appalling. At four o'clock our square was stnperfect hospital, being full of dead, dying, and mutilated soldiers. The charges of cavalry were in appearance very formidable, but iu reality a great relief, as the artillery could no longer fire on us; the very earth shook under the enormous mass of men and horses. never shall forget the strange noise our bullets made against tha breast' hites of Kellermann's and Milhaud's cuirassiers, six or seven thousand in number, who attacked us With great fury. I can only compare it with a somewhat homely simile, to the noise of a violent hailstorm beating upon panes of glass. * * * * No language can express the admiration felt by all who witnessed the heroic exploits of poor Adair. During the charges of the French cavalry, which were always preceded by a tremendous fire of artillery at point-blank distance, we lost many men. The cuirassiers and heavy dragoons came so close that it was feared they would enter by the gap which had been made in our square. Adair rushed forward, placed himself in the open space, and with one blow of his sword killed a French officer who had actually got amongst our men. After many exploits, showing a coolness and a cou rage ra-ely equalled, and never surpassed, Adair was struck towards the end of the day by a canon ball, which shat tered his thigh near the hip. His sufferings dining the amputation were dreadful. The shot had torn away the flesh of the thigh, and the bones weie sticking up near the hip in splinters. The surgeon, Mr. Gilder, had much difficulty in using his knife, having blunted it, and all his other instruments, by amputations in the earlier part of the battle. Poor Adair, during the operation, had ituffi cient pluck to make one last ghasty joke, saying " Take your time Mr, Carver."
