MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market continues firm and active. The minimum quotation is 4 per cent. at the Bank of England, as well as in other channels, and for the moment the tendency is towards greater stringency. A company has been formed, with a proposed capital of £120,000 in shares of £lO each, the first issue to be for half that amount, and two-thirds of which has been already subscribed, for the Purchase of the business of the well-known London Tavern, Bishopsgate•street. The direc tors have entered into a provisional agree ment with the present proprietor for the purchase of the goodwill, stock in trade, &c., for £30,000, upon which he guarantees a minimum dividend of 10 per cent. for the three years. The company has the option of purchasing the freehold, or leasing he property at a fair rental. There are no pro- Motion fees. A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Universal Club and Permanent Exposition Company was held yesterday, when it was resolved to change the name of the company to that of the London Permanent Exposition and International Agency Company (Limited), and that a fresh issue of shares be made to the public, to enable the directors to make advance on consignments. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised the influx of £BO,OOO in bar gold, and a withdrawal of 85,00 sovereigns for transmission to the East. There was no alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to 1:554,705, and the exports to only 219,600. Two o'CLocK.

Oa Monday next the steamer Ellora will leave for the East w ith about £567,000 in specie on board. As much as £489,600 in silver is to be re dispatched to Bombay. As usual on Saturday, the English Stock Market has been particularly dull. Speculation has been almost suspended, and the bona fide dealings have been too limited to impart the least animation. Consols were 93. 1 i for transfer, and 937 1 for the account—the prices at which they closed with a heavy aspect the previous afternoon. Continued quietude has prevailed in the Foreign Market to-day, but the principal movement has been in the Confederate Loan, which has risen to 2 3 to 26 dip.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A REGULAR TRAINED FEMALE PICKPOCKET.—EIiza Mills, a young woman, who gave an address at Hackney, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies in Oxford-street. Edwin Coathuyse, detective officer from Scotland-yard, deposed to seeing the prisoner in New Oxford-street, and suspecting her he followed her and saw her place herself on the right hand side of a lady looking in a shop window and then put her left hand in the lady's pocket. The prisoner then moved away and again placed herself by the side of another lady, and after following her about for one hour and a half and seeing her make at least 14 attempts to pick ladies pockets, he took her into custody. Mr. Knox asked the officer whether he knew anything of the prisoner, and he said that on the 4th September, while in company of Sergeant ThomaE, he saw the prisoner in Oxford-street, and then cautioned her, Sergeant Shore, 11F, said he had known the prisoner for three years, and had frequently seen her attempt to pick pockets, awl had cautioned her. The prisoner—who when he first knew her was very small in stature—used to be brought out by an elderly woman, who regularly trained her to pick pockets. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. Heavy Storm on the Goodwin Sands. Captain Cannon, R.N., the honorary secretary to the Walmer branch of the National Lifeboat Insti tution, writing on Thursday night, reports : We hal a tremendous storm last night of wind and hail, accompanied by thunder and lightning, such as we have not had for some time past. I send the report of the coxswain of the Walmer lifeboat relative to the launching of the boat on the occasion : Sept. 23, 1863. At abote. 11.30 p.m. we observed the light-vessel at the South Sand Head fire four guns and throw up five or six rockets in a E.N.E. direction, indicating that a vessel was on the Goodwin Sands in that direction. It was blowing fry sh from the S, W. at the time. The lifeboat's crew was immediately assembled, and the Walmer lifeboat launched about midnight, and proceeded under sail in the direction indicated by the rockets. On reaching the Sands, at 1.15 a.m., we could see no vessel upon the Goodwin. We tacked and went to the light-vessel. They informed us that they had seen two flare-ups or signals of distress in an E.N.E. direction, but they had seen no vessel. After this we re turned to the Sands, and ran along the inside edge towards the beacon. At this time, about 3 a.m., it came on to blow heavily, the wind shifting about, accompanied with rain and hail, thunder and lightning. We took in sail, and anchored the lifeboat near the edge of the Sands, and there waited for daylight. At 5,30 a m., being good daylight, we could see that no vessel was on the Goodwin, or other wise requiring our assistance. We weighed anchor and returned to the shore about 6.30, and housed the lifeboat, which had behaved remarkably well,—(Signed) TROMAS BUSHELL, coxswain of the Weimer lifeboat, of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution. The expense to the institution cf the launching of the lifeboat on this occasion was £l5 ICs. The cost of the boat was presented to the society by the Royal Thames Yacht Club.

Tanner, a man recently fined £5 for a violent assault, was charged with wilfully breaking twu panes of glass. Miss Eliza F. Bague, a lady residing with a maiden sis ter at 19, Copesall-street, said that on Thursday night she saw a man come up to her street door and put a letter into the box. She found the communication was an anonymous one of an offensive character, with a caricature of his sata nic majesty, Last evening, while sitting at dinner, two men were observed on the steps of the front door doing something, and it was shortly discovered that they had securely tied the knocker of the street door to the area rail. ings with ropes, so that the door could not be opened. The rope was cut, but in the course of the evening it was again tied and the annoyance repeated. Complainant believed the defendant to be one of the men who tied it, and she had an opportunity plainly of seeing him from the drawing room window. A gentleman residing next door kindly fetched the police, and a watch having been kept upon the house the defendant was taken into custody. Inspector Butler said that these maiden ladies had been for some time past subjected to considerable annoyance from a number of men, and in order to relieve them as much as possible the police kept a sharp watch on the house. Defendant was a stableman, and the rope found was such as was used with horses. Thomas Bedford, police-constable 305 B, said that he was set to watch the ladies' premises, and at two o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner in company with another man They came down the street hastily, and arriving opposite the ladies' house, the prisoner stooped down and threw a number of stones at the kitchen window. He could hear the glass rattle. He went over and took the defendant in charge. THAMES. " MORE YET."—Bridget Lee, an Irish woman, dwelling in Brook-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing 11 j lbs of lead, value 2s 6d. Mr. George A. Day, foreman at Messrs. AV. W. John son's lead works in Limehouse, said the prisoner had been employed there for some time. On the previous evening, when the people were leaving the factory, he suspected the prisoner had been stealing lead, and asked her if she had any about her. She produced a small piece, which she took from her bosom. He said, more yet, and she took another piece of lead flora her pocket, and she said that was all she had. He said more yet, Mrs Lee, and then she handed him a third piece. He went on saying more yet, more yet —(a laugh)—and a fourth lump of metal was forthcoming. More yet—(loud laughter)—and she took from under her clothes piece the fifth. More yet—(roars of laughter)—and a sixth piece of lead was forthcoming. Mr. Partridge—Any more ? Witness—l said more yet—(increased laughter)—and she said "That is all, Mr. Day." I searched her and found some more lead upon her. It weighs in all 11 lbs, and is worth 2s. 6d. Mr. Portridge—Were there no females present ? Witness—Only my wife. Mr. Partridge— I think you ought not to have searched the prisoner. That should have been done by one of her own sex. The prisoner admitted her guilt. She took the lead, and was very sorry indeed for having done so. She had a large family to maintain. She begged for mercy, and promised not to offend again. Mr. Day was recalled, and in answer to the magistrate, said the prisoner had been employed three years at the lead works, and was a very industrious woman. He be lieved this was her first offence. It was not the wish of his principal or himself that the prisoner should be severely punished. _ _ Mr. Partridge was glad to hear the witness say so. The prisoner had committed a serious offence in robbing her employers, but in consideration of the good character she received, and believing this was her first offoace he should deal with her leniently, and fine her 20s. for the unlawful possession of the lead.

A Greenwich steam-vessel had just left the Tunnel pier when a small boat, containing three men, went close under its bow. The captain immediately reversed the engines, but the small boat was apparently unmanageable, and getting close to the starboard paddlewheel, was upset. Every assistance was rendered, but two of the men were unfortunately drowned. The bodies have been recovered, and await an inquest. A BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM IN A FIX.—On Monday morning last a youn g man in the employ ment of Messrs. Pile, Spence, and Co., West Hartlepool, led to the altar a young wo man , a daughter of Air , M'Millan, of her Majesty's Customs, West Hartlepool, The parents of the girl were averse to the wedding, and bad used every means in their power to prevent its con summation. The bridegroom was not to be frustrated, however. The necessary arrangements were made, and it appears the young man had consumed all his cash, for he had to borrow a wedding ring before the nuptial knot could be tied—which was effected in as secret a manner as possible. Having managed so cleverly to gain the object of his heart, he was determined to celebrate the happy event by a general invitation among friends to partake of the " social cup" and its varied accompaniments. The question that naturally at once suggested itself was, " how to raise the wind" to provide this festive entertain ment, and a watch which the husband had in his possession was handed to his better half, by whom it was taken to Mr. Tweddle's, Pawnbroker, Hartle pool, to obtain a sovereign on it, Mr. Tweddle per ceived the watch was one that he had information of as having been stolen, and a borough policeman quickly had the bride elect taken to the lock-up. She told the officer her newly-made husband had given her it, and when the guests were preparing to participate in the nuptial festivi ties, one of the county policemen apprehended the "happy man," and placed him in a cell at West Hartlepool police station, where he involuntarily passed th e n i g ht, a nd was yesterday (Tuesday) brought before the bench, charged with having in his possession a watch belonging to Thomas Cragg, master mariner, Stockton, who had it stolen from his person in V ietoria-terrace, 'West Hartlepool on the 25th of August last. The plismer was remanded until Satur day for the production of the owner of the watch.—Aets • castle Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE. —A singular allega tion of conspiracy was preferred agaiLizt three Dewsbury gentlemen, before the Huddersfield magistrates, on Wednesday last. The defendants were charged with agreeing to accept £5O from a man named Booth, on condi tion that a charge of felony brought against him should be compromised. He afterwards denied the felony, and de clared that the money was extorted from him under the threat of a criminal prosecution. After hearing the evi dence, one of the defendants (Dr. Thornton) was discharged, but the other two, an auctioneer and a town concillor, were committed for trial at the assizes, being released in the useantime on bail, The case against Booth stood over: Remarkable though the success at once achieved by Miss Braddon's first work, that is to say, her first work of any importance, "Lady Audley's Secret," its successor speedily attained for itself a yet wider popularity. Nor can this be very well won dered at upon a comparison—no matter how cur sory—of those two romantic narratives. The extra ordinary capacity possessed by our authoress for fixing the attention of her readers, for awakening and sustaining their curiosity, for enthralling their interest, for mastering their sympathies, not inter mittently, but continuously, by a sort of glamour, from the first page to the last, from the instant her story commences down to the very moment of its completion—agreeably noticeable in the instance of "Lady Audley's Secret," was pre-eminently so in that of" Aurora Floyd." The mainspring of each plot was, in a manner, so to speak, curiously similar —almost, as one might say, identical. Although the circumstance was not again frankly announced upon the second title page, Aurora Floyd had her Secret no less than Lady Audley herself. But the Secret of Aurora was better preserved, was more artful in its concealment, was less ghastly of its kind—more lamentable, less criminal. Something morbid these is, no doubt, in each tale, affecting the imagination as we read on, almost at times as if we were breathing an unwholesome atmosphere. By a strange monotony of contrivance on the part of the authoress in building up the machinery of her second plot, the root idea of it, is so far like that of the first, that it has to do with Bigamy. While Lady Audley, however, is to our mind simply repulsive throughout, a wicked, sly, coo;-bsained, iron-handed Lucretia-Briuvilliers in little, with her Lamia-like halo of golden hair, her Becky Sharp-like blueness of eye, and her Madame Lafarge-like deliberation in sweeping out of existence, as though he were some mere troublesome gnat rather than a "fellow human," a husband who happened to be in her way —Aurora Floyd is, on the contrary, often wonder fully attractive, occasionally nothing less than bewitching, in spite of her wild, bold, sometimes all but masculine impulsiveness. The reader—hardly less, first of all, than handsome Talbot Bulstrode, or than afterwards good, gentle-hearted John Mellish —falls in love with her, in very despite of her Secret, of her unladylike predilection for Bell's Life, of her intimate knowledge of turf slang, of her wielding so fiercely that pretty, stinging, snake-like, jewelled riding-whip of her's over the deformed shoulders of yonder wretched pale-faced lameter, Steeve Hargraves, the Softy ! In defiance of all which, the reader is fain at times to stumble no less completely than does the proud heir to the Cor nish baronetcy, the fastidious Talbot himself, into the pitfalls of her eyes, and to get entangled no less inextricably than honest John in the meshy network of her blue-black hair ! And no marvel, either, that so strange a heroine as this should exercise so peculiar a fascination. Does not our authoress her self say of her, through the lips of Talbot Bulstrode —" She is like Mrs. Nesbitt in the zenith of her fame and beauty ; she is like Cleopatra sailing down the Cydnus ; she is like Nell Gwynne selling oranges ; she is like Lola Montes giving battle to the Bavarian students; she is like Charlotte Corday with the knife in her hand, standing behind the friend of the people in his bath ; sie is like everything that is beautiful and strange, and wicked, and unwomanly, and bewitching." She —this impulsive, terrible, captivating Aurora, for the loss of whom as a wife that same Talbot Bulstrode, tate Captain of the Eleventh Hussars, haughty as a Hidalgo, daring as (what he was) one of the cavalry heroes of the famous Charge at Balaklava, sobs aloud in an agony of despairing pride behind his cold clasped hands! Of whom, as he weeps, our authoress says so exquisitely, " Do not despise him for those drops of anguish : they were the virgin tears of his manhood. Never since infancy had his eyes been wet before. God forbid that such tears as those should be shed more than once in a lifetime ! The agony of that moment was not to be lived through twice. The hoarse sobs rent and tore his breast as if his flesh had been hacked by a rusty sword ; and when he took his wet hands from his face, he wondered that they were not red; fur it seemed to him as if he had been weeping blood." It is a woman who can write thus powerfully and tenderly who has peanud this enthralling story of "Aurora Floyd"—it is of a heroine who can be thus wept for that she writes ! No marvel is it to us that the book has won for itself so wide a popularity. Whether it is a popularity that will be lasting is another matter altogether. But, for seizing upon the attention, for taking cap tive the imagination of her contemporaries, the genius of Miss Braddon as a story-teller is indis putably great. It is purely and entirely as a story teller, as the inventor of a plot, as the nar rator of a fictitious series of events, a linked chain not of " sweetness" but of terrors and wonders and mysteries long " drawn out," that Miss Braddon, among our romancists, extorts from us, while we read her—at first our un questioning, but at last (we cannot but con fess it) our reluctant—admiration. Reluctant we have said, and for this simple reason, that we make acknowledgment of our admiring these stories of Miss Braddon as we might make confession of a predilection for bang or opium ! The atmcsphere we seem to breathe while wandering through the ghostland of" Aurora Floyd" or "Lady Audley" we cannot, it is true, venture to pronounce distinctly pernicious; but we must in candour admit that it appears to us decidedly unwholesome of its kind. Yet, while quaffing the literary bang poured out for us by this Syren, we can't, for the life of us, help smacking our lips over it. While masticating these delicate morsels of intellectual opium, we are gazing upon scenes and creations only to be gazed upon i❑ Dreamland. The popular edition of " Aurora Floyd," here published as a companion volume to a similar issue of "Lady Audley's Secret," will ope❑ a yet wider field to the already extended popularity of a work which, in spite of, so to speak, its deleteri ous flavour, is still undoubtedly replete with fasci nation. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 25.—The yarn market has been very quiet to-day, and the business done has been small. There has been a little buying for Calcutta and for the Mediterranean, but nothing of any moment. The business offering, in fact, has hardly been sufficient to fairly test prices. The market closes firm, spinners being deeply under contract, and showing no disposition to make any concession. The chief cause of flatness is in the smaller business doing for cotton at Liverpool, at declining prices. There are plenty of buyers in the yarn-market, but the easier prices at Liver pool gave t h em a hope that by waiting they may do better than at present, and for this reason they have been holding back. The cloth-market is affected in the same way. Manufacturers are generally firm, but buyers are cautious, and the transactions have been few and to a li m it e d amount only. There is an impression among sellers that the pause is only of a temporary character, and, though hero and there a manufacturer may be found who is rather easier to deal with, the market generally is firm. CARDIFF, 25th.—There is a considerable amount of vitality evinced in the coal trade, and the steam coal merchants especially are well supplied with orders. Quotations for coal and steam are firmer, and a slight advance has been obtained by several of the merchants. The house coal collieries are also better employed. Increased activity is to be observed at the ironworks, and it is expected that a general advance of wages will take place in November. The puddlers and others employed at the Cyfarthfa works have already had a pro mise to that effect. Bars are now quoted 7 s . 6d. to £6 10s., free on board, with a tendency to further advance. The men are out at one or two of the collieries, but no serious difficulty is appre hended. PLEASANT NEWS FOR GEORGE CRUIRSIIANK.— Mr. Bass has recently declared that the brewing trade is the largest in the kingdom, that one brewer alone sold £1,100,000 worth last year, and that 600,000 persons are dependent upon it, Mayer Anselm died in 1812, without having the supreme satisfaction of hearing his honesty extolled by kings and princes. He left five srms, who suc ceeded him in the banking and money-lending busi ness, and who, conscious of their social value, dropped the name of Anselm, and adopted the higher sounding one of Rothschild, taken from the sign board over the paternal house. On his deathbed their father had taken a solemn oath from all of them to hold his four millions well together, and they have faithfully Kept the injunction. But the old city of Frankfort clearly was too narrow a realm for the fruitful sowing of four millions ; and, in con sequence, the five were determined after a while to extend their sphere of operations by establishing branch banks at the chief cities of Europe. The eldest son, Anselm, born 1773, remained at Frank fort; the second, Salomon, born in 1774, settled at Vienna ; the third, Nathan, born in 1777, went to London ; the fourth, Charles, the enfant terrible of the family, established himself in the soft climate of Naples ; and the fifth and youngest, James, born 1792, took up his residence at Paris. Strictly united, the wealth and power of the five Rothschilds was vested in the eldest born ; nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sons of Mayer Anselm, and the heir of his genius, Nathan, the third son, soon took the reins of government into his own hands. By his faith in Wellington and the flesh and muscle of British soldiers, he nearly doubled the fortune of the family, gaining more than a million sterling by the sole battle of Waterloo, the news of which he car ried to England two days earlier than the mail. The weight of the sulid millions gradually trans ferred the ascendancy in the family from Germany to England, making Londo❑ the metropolis of the reigning dynasty of Rothschild. Like the royal families of Europe, the members of the house of Rothschild only intermarry with each other. James Rothschild married the daughter of his brother Salomon; his son Edmond, heir-apparent of the French line, was united to his first cousin, the daughter of Lionel, and grand-daughter of Nathan Rothschild ; and Lionel again—M.P. for London— gave his hand in 1836, to nis first cousin Charlotte, the daughter of Charles Rothschild, of Naples. It is unnecessary to say that, though these matrimo nial alliacces have kept the millions wonderfully together, they have not improved the race of old Mayer Anselm of the Red Shield. Already signs of physical weakness are becoming visible in the great family. So at least hint the French papers in their meagre notices about the Rothschild con gress at Paris. From all that can be gathered out of a wilderness of canards, thin faces and thick fic tion, it appears that the sovereigns of the Stock Exchange met in conference for the double purpose of centralising their money power and widening their matrimonial realm. In other words the five reign ing kings, descendants, according to the law of primogeniture, of the five sons of Mayer Anselm, came to the decision to reduce their number to four, by cutting off the Neapolitan branch of Charles Rothschild, while it was likewise decided that per mission should be given to the younger members of the family to marry, for the benefit of the race, be yond the range of first cousinship. W hat has led to the exclusion of the Neapolitan line of Roths child seems to have been the constant exercise of a highly blameable liberality unheard of in the annals of the family. Charles, the prodigal son of Mayer Anselm,actually presented, in the year 1846, 10,000 ducats to the orphan asylum of St. Carlo, at Naples, and the sou and heir of Charles, Gustavus, has given repeated signs of his inclination to follow in the footsteps of his father. Such conduct, utterly unbecoming of the policy of the house of Roths child. could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, and accordingly—wo quote the rumour of Paris jour nalism—the decheance of the Neapolitan line has been pronounced. However, Baron Gustavus de Rothschild is not to retire into private life, like famous Charles V. with only a cassock on his shoul ders and a prayer bcok in his hand; but is allowed to take with him a small fortune of 150,000,000 francs, or about six millions sterling—a mere crumb from the table of the descendants of poor Mayor Anselm, who wandered shoeless through the elec'mrate of good King George 111. It is cer tain that no romance of royalty is equal to the ro mance of the house of Rothschild. Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil Service. (From the Civil Service Gazette.)

THE GREAT LITERARY PIRATE, TAUCIINITZ!- Miss Muloch's novel, " The Ogilvies," forms the 667 vol, of the Baron Tauchnitz's "Collection of British Authors,'' the number of volumes of which is evidence of the pcpula. rity of English literature in Germany. The Queen of to-day, commenting upon an article which appeared in the Observer of last Sunday, headed, " The Brompton Exhibition Building," remarks,—This to the cursory observer would, at first sight, appear to be nothing more than a mere piece of reporter's gossip about the pre sent state of those ruins of the monster shed over which Messrs. lielk and Lucas reign triumphant. Some attempt was made at graphic description, and a word-picture pro duced something after the usual " liner" fashion. The reader is informed that " the whole of the flooring is re moved, and here and there tall weeds raise their heads in various parts of the gr.und, just as they peered up through the open spaces in the flooring when the Exhibition was in its full glory, as though anxious to see some of the wonders beneath which they were buried. The stumps of the trees) which once formed an orchard, are seen in long rows in the western transept, and they still give forth some signs of vitality. A few pipes of an organ, which an exhi bitor apparently does not think worthy of removal, lie in the western gallery. There are some foundations of brick and concrete, which tell where once stood some heavy trophy that helped to fill up the nave, and spoil what might otherwise have been a noble promenade. Huge letters still point to where the dinners were provided. A few birds chirp and flutter amid the solitude, and occasionally the silence is broken by the footsteps of Mr. Mason, who is the guardian of the building," Marius mourning over the ruins of 'Car thage sinks into insignificance beside Mr. Mason pacing, ith resonant footsteps, about the ruins of the Great Exhi bition building. The destination of different parts of the build ing is then referred to ; one of the domes is being packed up to be removed to the Alexandra-park, at Muswell-bill, and portions of the annexes have already been erected "as sheds and workshops at Millwall, the Isle of Dogs, and other places ;" whilst another portion "has been converted into a chapel, at Notting hill, for a brother of Mr. Spur geon." In addition to this, the agreeable information is imparted that " Mr. Sandford, the secretary, has returned to his duties at the Committee of Council on Education; and Mr. Lindon, the tireless and assiduous assistant secre tary, has transferred his services as agent to the firm of Ruinart and Co., the well•known champagne growers." It is not, however, until we come to the very end of the article that we arrive at its real purpose for (like certain fabled reptiles) it carries its sting in its tail. " The re freshment-rooms," says the writer, in the most un concerned tone possible, and quite as if he were merely re. minding the reader of something that was perfectly notori ous, " which have the frontage in the Horticultural Gar dens, are to be fitted up as the museum of natural history, where Professor Owen will, it is hoped, have sufficient space to display all the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea, which are under his care at the British Museum." There now, the cat is out of the bag. The House of Commons (siding with every scientific man of mark in the kingdom, save one) has decisively pronounced against the project for splitting up the collections of the British Museum. It has been denounced in the press as a public sin, and the officials of the Museum themselves are, for the most part, utterly op.. posed to it. When Professor Owen's plan for erecting a great Natural History Museum upon the ruins of the Bri tish Museum collections, and under the shelter of the monster sheds, was first mooted, it was almost universally scouted by the public, and, in spite of Ministerial influence, was rejected by a large majority of the House of Commons. And yet we hear (on the authority of a semi-official paper like the Observer) that the thing is to be done after all. Address of the Polish National Government to the Youth of Poland. The Niepodleglosc, the official organ of the Polish National Government, published in its number which appeared at Warsaw on the 12th inst. the fol. lowing proclamation to the pupils at the schools : Young pupils, a new scholastic year is commencing, an d with it will return for you the study which is to endow your intelligence with fresh knowledge, while it ennobles your hearts. At the moment when the nation is struggling against the enemy it is well to remind you of your duty to the country. You have imbibed the love of country from your earliest infancy, and you have carried away from the paternal roof a knowledge of your duty towards it. We will not repeat, therefore, what your fathers and mothers have taught you. Young pupils, you ought to engrave deeply upon your hearts the words we address to you, for they are the echo of the sacred voice of the country which regards you as its future citizens and its future defenders. Just as it is the duty of your elders to defend the country with arms in their hands, or to deliberate upon public affairs, so it is your duty, children of Poland, to seek to de vote all your strength to the development of your intern. gence and the elevation of your hearts. The soldier who sheds his blood upon the battle-field and the pupil who studies equally accomplish their duty to. wards their country. Children of Poland, remember that in a future genera. tion you will reap the fruits of the sanguinary work of the present day. Remember that if your fathers and brothers fall for Poland, the hour will come for her to rise again, and then it will be your turn to serve the country and lend it the support of your arms. You will only be able to serve the country well, your mind is full of lofty thoughts and your hearts of noble sentiments. Young pupils, do not forget, too, that the country disdains its degenerae sons. Children of Poland, better days than those your fathers have seen await you. You approach a moment in which 1 the fetters will fall from the hands of the mother country. Remember you prove yourselves worthy of serving a free Poland. To your studies, therefore, children of Poland; they are your sole duties—your most sacred duties towards the country." Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton.

Two STRINGS TO THE Bow.—ln a debate last month in the Parliament of Canada, a member, Mr. Can chon, having determined to speak against time to prevent a division that day, spoke first in .English and then in French. Miss EMILY FAITHFULL has just issued two tracts, entitled, " How shall I Educate my Daughter ?" and Shall my Daughter Learn a Business ?'' which treat the important question of the Extension of female employment. Intelligence has been received in Hull of the total loss of the screw steamer Zealand, a fine vessel of 700 tons re gister, the property of Messrs. Bailey and Leetham, ship owners, Hull, with seven of her crew, during a storm in the Baltic, on the 11th of September. The ill-fated vessel was on her passage from Konigsberg to London with a cargo of oats, and had on board, in addition to a crew of 14 men, 12 passengers. During the progress of the voyage, on the 11th inst , and when distant about 40 miles from the Horne reefs, the Zealand was caught by a heavy gale of wind from the W.N.W, There was also a very heavy sea, and the vessel, owing to the light nature of her cargo, rolled very much. One of her engines broke down, when all sails were set, and the remaining engine was kept in motion, but, of course, the progress of the steamer was seriously impeded. The second engine soon broke down, and the vessel becoming unman ageable, she was left to the mercy of the raging seas. This latter mishap was accompanied with one of more serious consequ , nces, for the engine in its fall started one of the iron plates in the ship's hull; and caused a considerable leakage. Water was fast gaining on the vessel, the fires were quenched, and the position of the Zealand appeared hopeless, The boats were then lowered, and the mate (Mr. Walker), the chief engineer (J. Spiby), carpenter (J. And sell), and four of the crew, named J. Brenton, E. Morris, W. Page, and W. Andsell, and 12 passengers, left the steamer, and were received safely on board the Norwegian barque Christina, which vessel was luckily in sight about three-quarters of a mile distant from the Zealand. Captain Lewis and seven of the crew of the Zealand remaine d on board that vessel in order to save some valuables and await the return of the boats. The mate, as soon as ho had placed the passengers on board the Christina, endeavoured to re turn to the Zealand, but owing to the violence of the gale, it was found to be impracticable. The barque attempted to approach the Zealand, but as she was lightly laden, she was driven considerably off to the leeward, and as the night set in she lost sight of the steamer. During the night, however, the mon on board the Christina ob served that rockets and blue lights were being fired peri odically as signals of distress from the Zealand, but at length they suddenly ceased, and nothing more was seen or heard of her. The barque waited about during the night, and when morning broke not a vestige was to be seen of the ill-fated steamer, The Christina made sail for Laurvig, in Jutland, where she landed the crew and pas sengers that were saved. From that port they lett in the steamer Scandinavian for Hull, where theyarrived yesterday morning. Nothing has as yet been heard of Captain Lewis and the remainder of the crew, and it is supposed they have met with the same melancholy fate as attended the vessel to which they belonged. The following telegram from Thisted, dated Sept. 17, has been received :—" Yesterday a vessel was observed from Steenberg Strand, distant from the coast one English mile, sunk in 10 fathoms water. She was exa mined, and found to be a ship with three masts, one of which was broken, and according to the distance between the masts supposed to be a steamer. Some yards were driving by the wreck, but nothing else was seen of it. "W eather very bad," THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD. Henceforth, says our contemporary the Globe, there are to be but four kings of the house of Roths child, with secure thrones at London, Paris, Vienna, and Frankfort. It is now exactly a hundred years ago since a poor Jew, called Mayer Anselm, made his appearance at the city of Hanover; barefooted, with a sack on his shoulders, and a bundle of rags on his back. Successful in trade, like most of his co•religionists, he returned to Frankfort at the end of a few years, and set up a shop in the " Jew Lane," over which hung the signboard of a red shield, called in German rothschild. As a dealer in old and rare coins, he mace the acquaintance of the Serene Elector of Hesse Cassel, who, happening to be in want of a confidential agent for various open and secret purposes, appointed the shrewd-looking Mayer Anselm to the post. The Serene Elector, being compelled soon after to fly his country, Mayer Anselm took charge of his cash, amounting to several millions of florins. With the instinct of his race, Anselm did not forget to put the money out on good interest, so that, before Napoleon was gone to Elba, and the illustrious Elector had re turned to Cassel, the capital had more than doubled. The ruler of Hesse-Cassel thought it almost a mar vel to get his money safely returned from the Jew Lane of Frankfort, and at the Congress of Vienna was never tirad of singing the praise of his Hebrew agent to all the Princes of Europe. The dwellers under the sign of the Red Shie'd laughed in their sleeves; keeping carefully to themselves the great fact that the electoral two million florins had brought them focr millions of their own. Never was honesty a better policy. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CRACOW, Sept. 25.
