ANT) 007.41I1'WAAL INTELLIGENCE, At the last meeting of the Societe Financiere d'Egypte, held in Paris, a dividend equal to 121- Per cent, was declared, but the payment awaits the confirmation by the Egyptian Government of the resolutions adopted by the meeting. Tne accounts from the various manufacturing dis tricts during the past week have been of a less satis factory character. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been in very limited request. In the Woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field the chief operations have been in winter fabrics at about previous rates. At Leicester and Notting ham there has been a fair amount of business entered into, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver , hampton only limited transactions have been re. Ported in the various departments. Two o'CLoCK. At Paris this day, acnrding to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 40c. Firm. A decline of a per cent. has taken place this morning in the Eaglish Funds. This downward movement has been produced by sales which have been rather heavily pressed. The small attendance of members and their clients has also an adverse effect. Consols for money are 881 89, and at 89k !- for the account.

The inducement to utilise the abundance of capi tal which discounters have now at their command, even at a smaller profit than to allow it to lie un productive, is significantly shown by the decline Which has recently taken Owe in the rates. The Public are now enabled to obtain accommodation for three months' bills at 7a and 7! per cent,, while bankers' acceptances for short periods are negotiable 4 t 71 per cent. This concession is important, but the commercial public are loth to take advantage of the facilities offered them, because they believe that by holding back they will force the brokers to Work cheaper, hence the very moderate demand Which prevails for monetary assistance.

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

Sales, therefore, progressed slowly, at barely late rate. he arrivals of boasts fresh up from our grazing distriets were vb ::+onably extensive. Their general quality, how ever, was by us? means first-rate. Prilue Scots, shorthorns, Herefords, and Do: ono sold freely, at, in some instances, an advance in the quotatioTe of 2d per Blbs. Oalerwise, the beef trade was inactive. on iormer terms. A few very su perior Scots realised 5s 2d, but the general top figme was 5s per Sib. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and northern counties we received 2,700 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 various b:eeds ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 295 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was rather extensive, but mostly all breeds came to hand in middling condition. Good and prime Downs, half-breds, and Dents, changed halide freely, and the currencies had an improved tendent7 — the extreme rate for the former breed being 5s 6d per 81bs. Otherwise the mutton trade was somewhat heavy, at late rate.. Prime lambs were scarce, and in request, at very' full prices. Inferior lambs were dull. The quotations range.. from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per albs. Calves were in fair average supply and sluggish request at late rates, viz., Is to 5s per Blbs.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY or• J EWELLERY.—George Dalin. of 3, Henley. street, Battersea, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt, with stealing a number of brooches, earrings, brace lets, &c., bf the value of £2OO, the property of Mr. Arch bald John Dorling, of No. 46, Warren -street, Fitzroy square, jeweller. Mr. Darling, a manufacturing jeweller, said the prisoner was employed by him as travelle r , an d the pr i soner h a d taken away a large number of articles, and marked them in his book as left on approbation with customers, which he (Mr. Darling) found not to be the case. Amongst the articles prisoner had marked five pairs of earrings as left with Messrs. London and nyder on approbation, but he had found that they had not been left. The prisoner yesterday told him all the articles, incluling some bracelets, were pledged in the Edgware-road, and that he would give him every assistance in getting his property back. He (Mr. Darling) wished the prisoner remanded, as he had not time yet, the prisoner only being taken into custody yesterday, to get his evidence together. The prisoner said he would admit the truth of the:claarge, and that what Mr. Darling had said was true. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, EMBNZZLEKENT. — WiIIiam Clifford, a young man in the employ of Mr Bishop Stone, butcher, of 77, Warren-street, Tottenham-court-road, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with embezzling the sum of L 7 12s received on accouut of his employer. . Mr Stone said the prisoner was in his employ on the 7th July last, on which day he gave him a bid to take to a customer—the amount of the bill being £7 12s. The pri soner received the money, but never accounted for it, which he ought to have done, and he saw no more of the prisoner till he was in custody. Mr Smart, manager at Mears. Scarlett and Co.'s, batchers, in South Audley-street, proved paying the pri sone: £7 12e for Mr Stone on the 7th of;July, and taking a receipt for the same. Madgeit, 74 S, proved taking the prisoner into custody. In answer to the charge the prisoner said it was quite right but that he thought his father had settled it. The prisoner, who had no defence, was committed for trial. W DOL. The public sales of colonial wool have gone off slowly since our last, Home buyers have, however, continued to operate somewhat freely ; but very little wool has been taken for export either to America or the continent. Good and flue Cape and Sydney wools have changed hands at full prices ; but interior qualities, as well as Port Fhilip and New Zealand descriptions, have fallen in value Id to 2d per lb. In the value of Adelaide produco a reduction of Id per lb. has taken place com p ared with the opening sale oi the present series. Up to the present time about 100,000 bales have been disposed of. It is announced that the sales will be brought to a close on the 31st inst. The trade for Eng. lish wool, owing to the easier rates for money in the open market, has ruled somewhat snore active.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.— j o :in Jacobs, Patrick Barry, and Henry Barton, the eldest 22, 0.0 youngest 20, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting a police constable named Denton, 166 K. The policem..ln, who was in great pain, and whose head and Lee were bru?sed, said that on Saturday night at half past 12 o'clock, two :ads were fighting in the Whitechapol Road, and upwards o f 300 disorderly persons who had re cently come out of the n. ighbouring public houses, beer shops, and concert rooms, wb:e assembled near them. He told the lads to desist, and parted them, Barry said they should have another round. He begged of him not to interfere. Barry said he would interfere if he thought proper, and threatened to punch his -head. At. the same time Jacobs struck him a violent blow on the taw, which caused his nose and mouth to bleed. He collared Jacobs and they had a violent struggle. Both tell on the ground, and while they were rolling over each other Barry said, "Look at the murdering swine," and kicked him twice on the hip. Jacobs called out, "Give it the -" and he was severely kicked about the head and body. Two gentlemen interfered and kept the mob back. He asked Jacobs, who was on the ground, if he would be quiet ho would allow him to get up. Jacobs said, " No, I won't, I will kill you if I can get at you." He was struck and kicked by several others, and should have been killed if other assistance had not arrived. His hat was lost and kicked about the streets. Henry Rosenburg, a clothier, stated that he saw Barton kick the constable when he was down, and told him he should mark hitp, He pointed out the prisoner among the people collected outside the station-house, and he was captured. Other evidence was given, and it appeared that it re• pi m a the united exertions of eight policemen to convey him to the district. Mr Pag©t bold the police constables in his district had a dangerous and ciacult duty to perform, and must be pro tected. The:prisoners had committed a cowardly and savage assault on the constable, for which he sentenced them to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. The conduct of Rosenburg was deserving of great praise. He wished all " Christians" would act in the same manner when the police were ill-used. THE MURDER OF mg,. BRIGGS. Yesterday afternoon a special report was received from Inspector Ta nner, the chief of the detective po lice at Scotland - yard , London, stating t ha t he had safely steam er at New York , incompany with Sergeant Clarke, also City of Manchester arrivedofthe detective thetective police, and the two witnesses who went oat for the purpose of identi fying the supp osed murder er, Muller. Chief his arrival In spector Tanner , uP °n et New York, put himself in communication :7ith th e 6,-vernment and police authorities, and recei ve d from them 0 °ell poasible assistance. The most comPte arrange ment 3 have been made to effect Muller's capture upon the arrival of t he Victoria, a special steam vessel being kept in readiness, with steam up night and day, to start the moment the Victoria is sighted, in order that the pilot-boat may be anticipated, lest by any mischance info rmation should reach Muller th at , ;he officers of justice are on h ie track—it being feared that .t.:e might in desperation seek by suicide to evade justice. . As a proof that the police took their measures with wet,' grounded confidence, we further learn from Inspector <limner's report that Inspectoi ...errissey, who followed With the second warrant in the City of Cork steamer, had arrived out safel 'ely. BISHOP POLK'S FUNERAL.—.b;snop Elliott de livered an address at the funeral of Lieu,:l.-Gen. Polk, and at its close left the desk, and, turning hi d I ,:ce to the North, solemnly summoned such of the bishops and clergy of the North as have urged on this war to meet him aLd their victims at the Judgment bar there to answer it—" In the name of the episcopal office of the dead; in the name of the blood that, like that of Abel, called aloud from the ground for vengeance on those who lend the sanction of the Church to this crusade ; in the name of desolated homes and blackened roof'treee, of desecrated churches, of altars pro faned and the Holy Paaament trampled in the mire; in the name and by the authority °I , and by the enchant ing spell-word evoked from the presence of the mang l e d and martyred dead. And (added the bishop in the pro found silence) God have mercy upon them in that day I" ENOCII ARDEN.—Seven teed thousand copies were struck off as the first impression, says the London Re view, and the whole of these were delivered to the trade on Saturday week and Monday last. A second impression of 10,000 is now in the press, and of these, it is conjectured, but few will be unsold by the end of the present week. HENRY FELIX JOHN RECANO, Esq., of t h e Middle Temple, Barrister at Law, is once more announced, we observe, in t he official paper at Gibraltar to have assumed the position of Judge of the Supreme Court there during the temporary absence of Sir James Cochrane. The London friends of the former hon. and learned gentle man will be interested to read the subjoined announce ment of the Let above alluded to, an announcement pub lished under date August 8, 1864, in the Gibraltar Chro nicle. 'We, therefore, reprint it as follows :" His Excel. lency the Acting Governor has been pleased to appOint Henry Felix John Recano, Esq., of the Middle Temple, London, Barrister at Law, to act as Judge of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar during the absence of Sir Jas. Cochrane, Knight, and he was this day sworn into office." The meeting at Egham and Oxford were only noticeable for the knocking about of East Lancashire and Welcome for the Great Ebor Handicap, and their ultimate return into favour. The Great Yorkshire carnival commences to morrow and extends over three days. The most important race to be decided is the Great Yorkshire, where Blair Athcl and General Peel will fight their Derby battle over again, but this time at a difference of 71b. in favour of the latter. The Convivial Stakes, in the absence of Gardevisure, will be won by Wild Agnes. Claremont ought to have no difficulty in securing the Three-Year-Old Biennial, and Clarior the Burgundy Stakes, as Blue Mantle will scarcely like the distance. The Yorkshire Oaks would be a mere canter for Full° do l'Air, if she returns in time from the continent. In her absence Tooi-Tooi will win. On Wednesday, the Filly Sapling Stakes will be found at the top of the card, and cut of tho 15 fillies nominated there is none with any pretentions to compete with Siberia. The Prince of Wales's Stakes, also for two-year. olds, has nineteen entries, and the issue may be much affected by the running of Tuesday. At present, however, Gontran, having beaten Spring Gun at Liverpool, should just pull through. The Great Ebor Handicap is not a had specimen of Mr Johnson's abilities; and the early backers of horses have suffered as much by their precipitancy in investing, as they did in the Northumberland Plate, Liverpool Cup, and Goodwood Stakes. Of those that played a conspicuous part in the betting before retiring into private life may be mentioned Hymettus, Caller Ou, East Lancashire, and Alabama. For the former being scratched no reason has been assigned, but the decline of East Lancashire has been accounted for by his being unable to be gone on with in the present state of the ground. Caller Ou has retrograded because of her journey to Egham ; and at one time there was a report that Welcome had followed in the track of the other favou rites. For this statement, however, there was not the slightest foundation, as no horse has been doing better work since Nottingham. The starters will in all likeli hood comprise among others the following : Caller On East Lancashire.... 4 Welcome Despair Revolver .. 4 Donnybrook, 0r.... 4 The Tartar The Clown .. 3 Raglan Siva Highflyer dam.... 3 Fiagaro, or Alabama Nemo .. 3 Caller Ou, although carrying the top weights, is far from out of the fray, were it not for certain parties who are never tired of laying against the old mare. Were things amicably arranged before they face the starter she would be my sole representative. Welcome, with the assistance of Fordham, must be near winning. This horse has underwent one of these finishing preparations for which John Scott is so cele brated. East Lancashire, after having been knocked about, is again firm in the market, but I think he must be getting stale. If in anything like the form when ho ran Dollar to half a length he must be there or thereabout at the finish. Donnybrook and The Tartar are both under a cloud, and it would not astonish me to seo one of them come to the re liet of the fielders. There is none more likely to upset the favourites than one of the pair. Raglan is very lightly han- dicapped for a 4-yr-old, and if he cannot win in the coal pany that will oppose him he ought to be turned out 01 training. The Daniel o'Rourke colt has been occasionally backed, but on Saturday a hostile demonstration set in against him, and doubts are entertained that he may not even see the starter. The rac9, in my opinion, will end in a match between RAGLAN and WELCOME, and when the numbers go up I shall expect the judge to place— WELCOME RAGLAN .... EAST LANCASHIRE.... , . 3 The Great Yorkshire, to be contested cn Thursday, wil, produce about six runners, comprising Blair Athol, Gen. Peel, Claremont (a stable companion of Baragah, evi dently in reserve for the St. Leger), Ely, Guerilla, Paris, and probably llymettus. The race will be a match between General Peel and Claremont, giving a slight preference to the former, as I do not believe Blair Athol can give 7lbs to either of the two. Rapid Rhone should win the Cup, next to whom I shall expect Caller Ou. A FRESH MAN, CITY BETTING-SATURDAY. The recent movements in the Turf market upon certain bosses in the Great Ebor handicap have been somewhat perplexing, and, as the day for the decision of the race approadms, the industrious ones do not let the grass grow under their heels in the "game of speculation." First and foremost of those animals whose gyrations in the list of quotations have been the most eccentric is Caller-Ou, and since her last victory at Egham her "up-and-down" posi tion is still more ine:tplicable. At Oxford, on Friday, as much as 200 to 15 wa.s laid, while at the same time any thing over 8 to 1 would have been snatrthed up eagerly in town. This afternoon, at the Victoria Club, there was a slight skirmish in the way of betting; but no harm was done on either side, and all the business actually done as w e2l,as proposed will be found in the subjoined list cf closing prices : THE GREAT EI3OR HANDICAP. 100 to 30 agst East Lancashire (taken and offered) sto 1 agst Welcome (offered; take 5, to 1) sto 1 age t Raglan (offered) 7to 1 agst Nighflyer dam colt (off.; Bto 3. taken) 100 to 7 agst Ca;:er Oa (taken) 100 to 7 agst Donnybrook (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Clown (offered) 100 to 80 on East Lancashire,Welcome, and Raglan (takn) 35 to 20 agst East Lanchire and Welcome—wanted 25 to agst East Lancashire being first, second, or third (t) THE ST.

Good wine creates good blood, good blood causes good humour, good humour inspires man with good thoughts, good thoughts lead to good actions, and good actions lead to heaven. Therefore gooa wine leads to heaven,— Wi ne Trade Renew. THE DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF CHILDREN IN WIIITECIIAPEL.—An explanation of this cir cumstance is given by the parochial authorities. It appears that the churchyard being now closed the churchwardens determined upon pulling down the bone house in one cor ner of the ground, and have the walls on that side repaired so as to present a more seemly appearance. In the bone house the ground bad also been dug up between two and three feet, and in the earth were the remains of coffins w hich contained the bodies of children. The remains dis covered in the ground of tho bone house were again de cently interred in the course of Friday afternoon in the presence of Messrs. Hawkins and Cuff, the church wardens. THE THOENBITRY MURDER.—The execution of the criminal Louis Gough has, it is believed, been fixed, and will prhbably take place at the end of this week; but a desire exists on the part of the officials to prevent as much as possible the assembling of a large crowd, and so we ll have the " secrets of the prison-house" been kept that the day has not transpired. It is kn own t h a t Calcratt will be the executioner, and that he will arrive in town the day before the execution and sleep in the gaol, and that the execution will take place in the morning as early as pos eilAo, according to law. It is many years since the Island of Jersey was • the scene of such tumult and rioting as on Wednesday and Thursday nights last, ending in destruction of property a tid risk t the lives of hundreds of the Queen's subjects. •Mi 'T. G. Owens, of London, had undertaken to deliver, in the Prince of Wales A ssembly-rooms, a course of three lee tar es on " Bible Truths and Romish Errors." The first was deli vered on Tuesday evening, and efforts were then made by a , num • ber of Roman Catholics to seize the lecturer, whose life they had threatened. In this they were foiled by a few friet 'ds of Mr Owens, who secured his escape by a side entrance to the hall. On Wednesday night, however, the part whichwas played by the mob pr ove d of a most serious ' character. Soon titer seven o'clock . a large n um b er of Roman Catholics, many of them armed well bludgeons, collected at the door of the lecture hall, end commenced yelling and booting. They were aided and urged on by between 20 and 30 women of the low Irish °lees, After creating immense uproar out si' e they smashed the windows of the hail by throwing s'oues through them, while some of the women yelled 4‘ Fire : Fire l" The audience, many o f whom were ladies. now became greatly alarmed, and Mr Owe ns , who had been lecturing upon " Indalgences," did all th a t lay in his p ower to prevent a panic. He stood upon the platform, and was in the act of entreating all to ke'ep their seats, when a large stone came smash through the window opposite to him, upon which he quickly gathered up his books and papers and took refuge in a small room at the end of the hall whither he was followed by all who failed to make their escape by the front entrance from the dangers of the falling glass and missiles. The proprietor of the hall now extin guished the lights, and Mr Owens and between 30 and 40 of the audience (some of the ladies in a fainting condition) remained prisoners in this ante-room. As the most serious consequences to life and property were now apprehended, more policemen were ordered to the place. A large num ber of the inhabitants also came forward and watched the ringleaders closely. Efforts were made to capture two or three of the most active, but without success. The Ro man Catholics, seeing the dangers by which they were now surrounded, ceased their ycllings, and upon a signal being given formed in procession and marched along the street hooting and cheering. On Thursday morning Mr Owens and other gentlemen waited upon the Lieut-Governor of the island (Major-General Burke Cuppage) at Government House, and stated the circumstances to his excellency. This led to an interview with the bailiff (Mr G. Hammond), and the constable or mayor of the town (Mr John Gibaut). The whole of the honorary and paid police were now summoned, and arrangements were now made for calling out the mili tary from Fort Regent. Shortly before 7 o'clock on Thurs day evening at least 500 persons collected in front of the Assembly Reoms, expecting admission to Mr Owens' third lecture. That gentleman arrived at 7 o'clock, but the pro prietor of the rooms (Mr Moss) determinedly refused to open the doors, and Mr Owens eventually left greatly dis satisfied, but not before he had addressed the assemblage outside. A few minutes after he left the constable of the parish, who was accompanied by a strong body of the honorary and paid police,arrived and ordered that the lecture hall should be thrown open. This was instantly done. He then asked for the lecturer, and on being informed that he had just left because he could not gain admission, directed messengers to go in search of him and bring him as soon as possible. In the interval the lecture hall became densely crowded, and there were at least 1,500 persons outside un able to gain admission, Mr Owens soon made his appear ance. On passing to the platform he was loudly cheered. After condemning the disgraceful outrage which had been perpetrated on the previous night, he said that, rather than see the Protestant fig lowered one inch he would lay his head upon the block. (Cheers.) After cordially thanking so many hundreds of the inhabitants for coming forward as one man to maintain and defend the right of free discussion, he proceeded with his lecture, the subject of which was "Transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass." The audience cheered him repeatedly, and as no improper inter. ruption or violence was offered all ended in peace. At the conclusion of the lecture the constable and his force escorted Mr Owens through the principal streets, followed by an immense crowd, who cheered lustily. No further rioting took place, and long ere midnight arrived all excitement had died away. The Grand Duchess of Russia, accompanied by Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador, visited this morning the Reading Room at the British Museum. The Princess, who was attended during her visit by Mr Panizzi, the head librarian, remained for a long time on the building, and appeared to derive from her visit very great gratification. SALMON FISHING IN THE NESS.—The lower part of the Ness has ceased to be so productive as it was during last week, owing principally to the fall in the volume of water, yet Mr. Maclean and Mr. Tait continue to get a good haul occasionally. Farther up the anglers have had excellent sport. Mr. Baillie, of Ley, caught a salmon and three grilse, and on tho Holm water Messrs. Dennison and Reeve have been very successful, having killed 17 fish, principally grilse. The Beauly fishings have turned out remarkably well for the season, In February the export, including boxes and ice, was 10 cwt; Marcb, 1 ton 13 cwt; April, 2 tons 2 cwt; May, 1 ton 14 cwt; June, 4 tons 12 cwt ; July, 26 tone 4 cwt. ; and in the first 10 days of August, 3 tons 11 cwt 3 qrs—altogether more than 40 tons of fish.-1 - nraness Advertiser. NUREMBERG'S PROMISED MONUMENT TO STONE= WALL JACKSON...L.2Is way in which Nuremberg has come to promise it is rather curious. A young man from Nuremberg, named Volk, emigrated to America as journey man cooper. After arriving there his early passion for art grew stronger; he made ske' ches for illustrated papers, and gradually became a self-taught artist. The war found him at Baltimore, whence he wandered south, and was ea gaged as a draughtsman on the staff of one of the Southern generals. He had made a bust of Stonewall Jackson from a mask which he took from the dead face; and when the monument was put up to competition by the Southern Government the young German artist won the prize. But even then be had to find means for executing his work, and for this he ran a ship laden with cotton through the blockade .and brought it to Europe, where the sale of the cotton gave him the funds required. Ho is now at work on the monu• ment, which represents the general on horseback, a fine Arabian steed from Stuttgart serving as a model for the horse; Jackson's left hand holding the reins, his right rest ing calmly on his hip, and his whole bearing characterised by native boldness and energy, MAIN DRAINAGE ANTIQUITIES.—The following antiquities, of tb o m fossil ai n Drainage ee ov b er n ed pre in sen t t h ed e progress " Works, have to the British Museum by the Metropolitan Board of Works —Human cranium, of the brachycephalic type; and one of full oval type, with frontal suture persistent, as in most Frankish skulls ; portions of skull and horn-cores of bos primigenius ; two crania of hos longifros, or primeval marsh ox; scapula, portion of humerus and astralgus of boa ; portion of cranium, and of upper and lower jaws of a horse ; lower jaw, with cne molar tooth of elephas pri • =genius; articular head of femur of ditto; portions of antler of large rrindeer (taxandus priscus) ; left ramus of lower jaw of bottle nose whale (hyperoodon bidens) ; por tions of right and left scapnlm of two different whales; six fragments of ammonites multicostatus (lias); bellovacina (Woolwich sands) ; mass of ostrea and cyrena cuneiformis (pliocene) ; nautilus imperialis (London clay) ; a plain Roman sarcophagus of Purbeck marble, three Roman leaden coffins, and some fragments of pottery, all found at East Ham, in Essex.

A gentleman saw what he was doing, and examined it, and was so much pleased with it that he assisted him in his studies, and the boy afterwards became the eminent Sir Francis Chentrey —The Clerk (Mr. James) said if ser vants were bad, it was not because they were educated, but through other causes.—The Chairman said ignorance never made a servant better than education, Inquiries were ordered to be made:of the Schoolmaster as to any children in the home of a musical genius. [ADVERTISEDIENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Wrongs made Right.—Every day that any bodily suffering is permitted to continue renders it more certain to become chronic or dangerous. Holloway's purifying, cooling, and strength ening pills are well adapted fur any irregularity ot the human body, and should be taken when the stomacto is dis ordered, the liver deranged, the kidneys inactive,the bowels torpid. or the brain muddled. With this medicine every invalid can cure himself ; and those who are weak and infirm t hrough' imperfect digestion may make themselves strong and stout by Holloway's excellent pills. A few doses oi them mutiny mitigate the most painful symptoms caused by undigested food,:from which they thoroughly free the alimentary canal, Crime in France, The Court of Assizes of the Maine -et-Loire last cree tried a female servant, named Cordon, on a charge o f having poisoned her master, a farmer named Durand, re siding at Juigne-sur-Loire. It appeared that the prisoner, who was 25 years in Durand's service, had acquired a great ascendancy over him, especially after he became infirm through old age, and in May, 1863, she induced him to make a will leaving her the whole of his property, amount ing to about 5,000 fr. She effected this the more easily that the old man had only distant relatives whom he seldom saw. On the 13th July last Durand died, after a very short illness, during which he complained that his food often tasted of phosphorus, The authorities having d w been inform e d of that fact a poit-nuortem exam;na on as ordered , , and a c 9 nsidcrable quantity of phos phorus was found in the body of the deceased. It was also ascertained that a pig belonging to Durand had died from e same poison two days previously. Suspi c i on i mmediately fell on the prisoner, who was the only person having an intsrest in Durand's death, and L was soon aszertained that she had purchased at different times two pots of phosphoric paste of a chemist in a neighbouring town, stating that it was for a farmer named Vanuisr, who wanted it to kill rats, The latter, however, denied that he had ever given her any such commission. It appears that the contents of the first pot were given to the pig to test the efficacy of the poison, and that the prisoner then bought the second, and mixed the paste with her master's food. The prisoner protested that she was innocent, and denied that her master had died from poison, but the jury, deeming the evidence conclusive, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the Court sentenced her to hard labour for life.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mille pm., an d the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 281 per cent., and the premium on gold is 157 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold fro the United States. THE NEW SERIAL in All the Year Round will appear, it is said, with the title, " Never Forgotten." The writer some time since produced " Bella Donna," and it was then said that Mr Percy Fitzgerald, a barrister of the Northern Circuit, was the author. FATAL ACCIDENT TN A WELL.--.A13 accident of a fatal, but by no means of an uncommon character, occurred at Garstang, Lancashire, very recently. The son of a farmer in that district descended by a ladder into an old well for the purpose of examining the discharge pipe. He fell from the ladder, when his brother went to assist him. He also fell, and a third person present shouted for help, but only in time to rescue one of the brothers. The other was suffocated by the foul air in the well. Mr Nelson Girdlestone, who, since the retirement of the late chief clerk, has undertaken the onerous duties which fall to the share of the official immediately under the Storekeeper-General of the Navy, has received an acting appointment, which, although it does not promote him over the heads of his seniors, will enable him to stand in the same position to Mr Dundas as did the lamented Mr J. R. Clark —Army and _Navy Gaz , tle CURIOUS CASE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT.—The daughter of a furniture bioker, a good-looking girl of about 20, was fined £lO for contempt of Court on Saturday by Mr J. B. Aspinall, the Recorder of Liverpool. A writ was served upon the girl's mother in a wrong name. The daughter, altnough she had nothing to do with the action, appeared at the Court of passage as the defendant, and sought to obtain a verdict on the technical point that the writ had been served on the wrong person. The Recorder said the girl knew perfectly well that the writ was intended for her mother, and she had resorted to this trick to mislead the Court ; the correctness of the name was immaterial, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff. ABDUCTION.—At the Leeds Assizes on Thursday Hudson Brook, labourer, was charged with unlaw. fully taking Mary Bradshaw out of the possession and against the will of Henry Ward, her employer, who had the lawful charge of her, and also against the will of her father and mother. Mr. West was for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheelhouse for the defence. The prisoner had lived same time in the house of the girl's father at Bramhope, near Otley, and previous to his leaving his lodgings, the young woman had gone to the service of Mr. Ward, of Woodhouse Carr, rear Leeds. The acquaintance, therefore, between the prisoner, who is 35 years of age, and the girl, whose age at the time was only 15, must have commenced in her father's house. On the 22d Argil, the girl suddenly left her master's house, and she and the prisoner had subsequently been living to gether as man and wife at Bradford. The girl, on being examined, stated that she met the prisoner by appointment at Apperley Bridge, on the 22d of April, and they went to gethar to the 'Waterloo Inn, at Bradford, where they lodged together as man and wits. In cross-examination the girl admitted that when she met the prisoner at first he told her she had taken a foolish step, and tried to induce her to go back home. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to 3 months' imprisonment with hard labour. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MTSTERY.—By the mail which left England for Tasmania on the 17th instant the police have forwarded to the widow of the supposed victim who was alluded to in the correspondence referring to this subject, which has been recently published in the Daily Telegraph, carefully-taken and coloured photographs of the coat anti waistcoat, and the carpet bag in which, with certain human remains, they were found when the bag was found on one of the buttresses of Waterloo Bridge. The articles in question ware thus copied by direction of Sir Richard Mayne on Monday last. MR W. F. WlNDilAm.—This singular individual is now working a coach with great regularity between Norwich, North Walsham, and Cromer; Mr Windham is no longer proprietor of the coach, but discharges his duties as "coachee"—looking after the luggage, the way-bill, &c., in an exemplary manner. He has become extremely fat, and has a very jolly appearance. His coach is threatened, however, with the all-powerful opposition of the locomotive the East Norfolk Railway Company being about to e arn _ mence the construction of a line between Norwich an d North Walsham. It should not be forgotten that Mr, Windham's father was once M.P. for East Norfolk, that one of his uncles was a lieutenant-general in the army, and another a marquis I PURCFIASE OF ENGLISH THOROUG/IBREDS FOR THE KING OF ITALY.—The King of Italy has just pur chased of Mr hl.
