OBEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 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 :o lie un productive, is significantly shown by the decline Which has recently taken place in the rates. The Public arc now enabled to obtain accommodation for three months' bills at 71 and 71 per cent., while bankers' acceptances fur short periods are negotiable at 7-1 per cent. This concession is important, but the commercial public are loth to take advantage of the facilities afered 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. There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday. At the last meeting of the Soeie e Financiere d'Egypte, held in Paris, a dividend equal to 12j per cent. was declared, but the payment awaits the confirmation by the Egyptian Government of the resolutions adopted by the meeting. Toe 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 boen a fair amount of business enterod into, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton only limited transactions have been rem ported in the various departments. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 40e. Firm. A decline of i per cent. has taken place this Morning in the English 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.

MARK-LANE, In the country markets, held on S aturday, an increased amount of business was transacted in new wheat, at the late decline in the quotations. Old wheat, however, com mended 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. Oct the continent, the wheat trade continues quiet. Small supplies of English produce wero 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; 1,316 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 urreney. There was a full average supply of most descriptions of foreign wheat on the stands. On the whole the trade ruled steady, and previous quotations were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain 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 nealt 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 long pods on sale, deficient in FiZ3. Peas ruled firm at fully last week's currency. In flour—both English and foreign—only a moderate business was transacted. Prices, however, ruled stationary.

Sales, therefore, progressed slowly, at bare;:' late rate. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our graz,ll; districts were seasonably extensive. Their general quality; how ever, was by no means first-rate. Prime Scots, shorthol.' lB , Herefords, and Devons sold freely, at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Otherwise, the beef trade was inactive, on former terms. A few very su perior Scots realised 5s 2d, but the general top figure was 56 per Sib. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and northern counties we received 2,700 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 105 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 hands freely, and the currencies had an improved tendency—the extreme rate for the former breed being 5s Gd per Blbs. Otherwise the mutton trade was somewhat heavy, at late rates. Prime lambs were scarce, and in request, at very full prices. Inferior lambs were dull. The quotations ranged from 5a 8d to 6s 8d per Blbs. Calves were in fair average supply and sluggish request at late rates, viz., 4s to 5s per 81bs._ _ _ _ . .

A few parcels of new Kent hops have arrived at market since our last, and have sold at £8 per cwt. Tile import last week was 100 bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

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 Athol and General Peel will fight their Derby battle over again, but this time at a difference of 71b. in favour of the latter. • The Conviv'al Stakes, in the absence of Gardevisnre, 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 mero canter for nile de l'Air, if she returns in time from the continent. In her absence Tooi-Toni will win. On Wednesday, the Filly Sapling Stakes will be found at the top of the card, and out of the 15 fillies' nominated there is none with any pretentious to compete with Siberia. The ) Prince of Wales's Stakes, also for two-year•olds, has nineteen entries, and the issue may be much effected 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 horse's 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 Ou East Lancashire.... 4 Welcome Despair . 5 • 7 8 ...... H. Grinishaw Revolver Donnybrook, 0r.... 4 The Tartar The Clown .. 3 Raglan Siva .. 3 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 bafore 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 those 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 see one of them come to the re- list 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 com pany that will oppose him he ought to be turned out of 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 race, 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 2 EAST I,ANCA.SHIRE.... The Great Yorkshire, to be contested en Thursday, will produce about six runners, comprising Blair Athol, Gen. Peel, .Claremont (a stable companion of Baragab, evi dently in reserve for the St. Leger), Ely, Guerilla, Paris, and probably Hymettus. 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 71bs to either of the two. Rapid Rhone should win the Cup, next to whom I shall expect Caller Ou. A FRESH MAN, WOOL. 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 lass been taken for export either to America or the continent. Good and fine Cape and Sydney wools have changed hands at full prices ; but inferior qualities, as well as Port Fhilip and New Zealand descriptions, have fallen in value Id to 2d per lb. In the value of Adelaide produce a reduction of Id per lb. has taken place compared with the opening sale of the present series. Up to the present time about 100,000 bales have been dispesul 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 more active. In prices no quotable chavge from left week i4llO taken place. The ha- POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEIVELLERY.—George Dalin ; of 3, Henley street, Battersea, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt, with stealing a number of brace lets, &e., of the value of £ 2O O, the property of Mr. Arch bald Jahn Dorling, of No. 4 6, br W ooc a h rr e e s n , :s a t r r r e i e n t g , B Fitzro y quare, jeweller. Mr. Darling, a manufactu.ing jeweller, said the prisoner was employed by him as traveller, and the prisoner had 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 Ryder on approbation, but he had 'band that they had not been left. The prisoner yesterday told him all the articles, including some bracelets, were pledged in the E Igware-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:charge, and that what Mr. Darling had said was true. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. EMBEZZLEMENT. — 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 account of his employer. Mr Stone said the prisoner was in his employ on the 7th July last, on which day he gave him a bill to take to a cue; Omer—the amount of the bill being 12s. The pri soner I cceived the money, but never accounted for it, which he ought to have done, and he saw no more of the prisoner ill he was in custody. Mr Smart, matoyer at Meters. Scarlett and Co.'s, butchers, in South AOley-street, proved paying the pri soner £7 12s for Mr Stone on the 7th of;July, and taking a receipt for the same. Madgett, 74 8, proved taking the prisoner into custody. In answer to the charge the prisoner said it was quite right but that be thought his father had settled it.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE. — John Jacobs, Patrick Barry, and Henry Barton, the eldest 22, the youngest 20, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting a police constable named Denton, 166 K. The policeman, who was in great pain, and whose head tnd fres were bruised, said that on Saturday night at half past 12 o'ciock, two lads were fighting in the Whitechapol Road, and upwards of 300 disorderly persons who had re cently come out of the n,ighbuuring public houses, beer shops, and concert rooms, were assembled near them, He told the lads to desi,t, and parted them, Barry said they ,hould have another round. lie begged of him not to interfere. Bury said he would interfere if ho thought proper, and threatened to punch his --- head. At the same time Jacobs struck him a vi ,lent blow on the face, which caused his nose and mouth to bleed. He °allured Jacobs and they had a violent struggle. Both tell on the ground, ant 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 he 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 Rostnbuig, a clothier, stated that ho saw Barton kick the constable when ho was down, and told him he should mark him, 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• quired the united exertions of eight policemen to convey aim to the district. Mr Paget said the police constables in his district had a dangerous and difficult duty to perform, an re d at m p u r s a t is b e. be ie pro tected.i The'prisoters had committed a cowardly and savage ass ault on the constabis,s ; for which he sentenced them t o b e conduct tnoe d f it fo o r s t e w nb o u m ro on w th ass d a e n s d el :,keinpgt toof g hard labou r .

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. H ENR Y RELIX JOHN RECANO, Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barriste r at La w , is once more announced, we observe, in the 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 fcct above alluded to, an announcement pub lished under date August 8, 1864, in the Gibraltar Chro• nick. We, therefore, reprint it as follows :—" His Excel. lency the Acting Governor has been pleased to appoint Henry Felix John Recall°, Eeq., of the Middle Temple, London, Bel - deter at Law, to act as Judge of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar during the absence of Sir Jas. Cochrane, 4night, np.d 1.".,e Wes this day sworn into office." . • CITY B ETTING -SATURDAY. The recent movements in the Turf market upon certain horses in the Great Ebor Handicap have been somewhat perplexing, and, as the day for the decision of the race approaches, 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 moat eccentric is Caller-Ou, and since her last victory at Egham her "up-and-down" posi• tion is still more inexplicable. At Oxford, on Friday, as much as 200 to 15 was laid, while at the same time any thing over 8 to 1 would have been snatched up eagerly in town. This afternoon, at tho Victoria Club, there was a slight skirmish in the way of betting; but no harm was done on either aide, and all the business actually done as well as proposed will be found in the subjoined list of closing prices : THE GREAT EBOR HANDICAP. 100 to 30 agst East Lancashire (taken and offered) sto 1 agst Welcome (offered; take 5± to 1) 6to 1 agst Raglan (offered) 7to 1 agst Highflyer dam colt (off. ; Bto 1. taken) 100 to 7 agst Caller On (taken) 100 to 7 agst Donnybrook (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Clown (offered) 100 to 80 on East Lancashire, Welcome, and Raglan (take) 35 to 20 agst East Lanchire and Welcome—wanted 25 to agst East Lancashire being first, second, or third (t) THE ST.

Mr. West was for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheelhouse for the defence. 'he prisoner had lived some time in the house of the girl's fa: her 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, near 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 April, 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 WI:: examined, stated that she met the prisoner by appointment at Apperley Bridge, on the 22d of April, and they went to gether to the Waterloo Inn, at Bradford, where they lodged together as man and wife. 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 wassentcuced to 3 mouths' imprisonment with hard Leamiegton&War.Hunt 22 I labour. THE WATERLOO 'BRIDGE MYSTERY.—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 photogriphs of the coat and 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. NEWSPAPERS BY RAILWAY.—The Caledonian Railway has just adopted a plan for the transmis sion of single copies of newspapers by rail which is likely to prove of great use to newspaper readers on that line over the localit es it traverses. The system is simply an issue of farthing stamps, prepared after the fashion of postage stamps; perforated and gumed like these, they are sold in sheets containing a dozen, the price of the sheet being of course threepence. The stamp bears the impress :—" Caledonian Railway. No. (say) 206. For one newspaper only. To be called fur by con signee at the station en the Caledonian Railway to which it is addressed." To all subscribers who can conveniently send for their newspapers at any station on the Caledonian line we are now enabled by this system to transmit the paper by the first morning train at a cost of id. per day for carriage—that is, at a fourth of the cost of postage. Besides residents on the line, gentlemen in business who may de sire to read the paper in the train on their way to town. in the morning may thus arrange to h ave it waiting them at the station from which they start. It to be hoped that other lines will not be slow in following the Caledonian in the adoption of this simple and convenient plan.—See s. man, CURIOUS CASE OF CONTEMPT OF COURT.—The dau g hter of a furnitur e broker, a g ood-lookin g g irl of about 20, was fined £ lO for c ontem p t of Court on Saturda y b y M 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 Bought 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 rported to this trick to mislead the Court ; the correctness of the name was immaterial, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff.

Therefore gooa wine leads to heaven.-- IF i ne Trade Review. THE DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF CHILDREN IN WIIITECIIAPEL.—An explanation of this cir cumstance is given by the parochial authorities. It appear s 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 aide repaired so as to present a more seemly appearance. In the bone house the ground had also been dug up between two and three feet, and in the earth were the remains of coffins which contained the bodies of children, The remains dis covered in the ground of the 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 THORNBURY MIIRDER.z--The execution of the criminal Louis Gough has, it is believed, been fixed, and will probably 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 well have the "secre4 of the prison-house" been kept that the day has not transpired. It is known that Calcraft will be the executioner, and that he will srrive 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 sible, according to law. 1471 8 i 591 11fi 17 102 f 41/ 117 162 651 4I 1121 4 136)6 1.08 1061 51 93i I 881 I } I O 2 1 i linginese don «.ITIE E. 585 7} Crime in France. The Court of Assizes of the Maine-et-Loire last week tried a female servant, named Cordon, on a charge of 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 tho more easily that the old man had only distant relatives whom he seldom saw. Oa 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 been informed of that fact, a post-mortem exam;na tion was ordered, and a considerable 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 the same poison two days previously. Suspicion immediately fell on the prisoner, who was the only person having an interest in Durand's death, and L was soonascoefrptahionsepdhtohraict she had purchased at different times tw o pots paste of a chemist in a neighbouring town, stating that it was for a farmer named Vanuier, who wanted it to kill rats. The ratter, 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.

WINDHAM.—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 "coaches"--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 com mence the construction of a line between Norwich - and North Walsham. It should not be forgotten that Mr. Windham's father erns once M.P. for East Norfolk, that one of his uncles was a lieutenant-general in the . tinny, and another a marquis ! 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 Mt. 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 the 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; March, 1 ton 13 cwt ; April, 2 tons 2 cwt; May, 1 ton 14 cwt; June, 4 tone 12 cwt; July, 26 tons 4 cwt. ; and in the first 10 days of August, 3 tons 11 cwt 3 qrs—altogether more than 40 tons of fish.—lnverness Advertiser. NUREMBERG'S PROMISED MONUMENT TO STONE. WALL JACKSON.—The way in which Nuremberg has come to promise it is rather curioug. 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 en 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 do 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. He is now at work on the monu ment, which represents the general on horseback, a fine Arabian steed from Stuttgart servin,g as a model for the horse; Jackson's left hand holding the reins, his right rest ing calmly on his hip, and his whale bearing characterised by native boldness and energy.

SIR ANDREW AGNEW'S BROAD HINTS•I PROVERB A HUNDRED YEARS AGO).—The knight had been troubled for some time by an impertinent intruder before a friend was able to congratulate him on being rid of his company. "Ah," ho replied, "I w,,s obliged to give the loon a broad hint." "A broad hint 1" said the friend, " why. I thought he was ono of those who would never take any hint." "By my faith," rejoined Sir Andrew, "but he was forced to take it; for as the chiel would ne gang oat at the door, I just threw him oat at the window," Pressun—Ti Union n sßt .V., o — aaT N reds C o O t fh lJ aci ß t A tiaa G rt E d r i ahn E es N l— T a tme O r : seo G eut t E i hn N eg l e U oi S.—T fa thet heH h c e ho bCi chair — it r y na letter was received from Mr Leslie, secretary to the National College of Music, stating that " being anxious to assist de serving but poor children who may possess great musical so as to place them in a position to earn their own living, Illey propose giving gratuitous instruction to such children. If t.sarefore, you have any such in your Union, and are willing on their part to accept this offer, I shall be obliged if you wi. l favour me with a communication on the sub joct."—Mr Young said he thought they had bette.t learn Ohm the use of the scrubbing-brush.—The Chairman said the objcci appeared to be to invite and assist genius. He would like to see an institution to assist boys of other .kinds of genius. It was well known that the genius of Chantrey was only discovered accident ally, v,hile he was keeping cosis and cutting a knobstick. A gentleman saw what he was doing, afid examined it, and was so much pleased with it that he assist.al him in his studies, and the boy afterwards became the eminent Sir Francis Chantrey.—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 house of a musical genius. FATAL ACCIDENT TN A WELL.—=An accident of fatal, but by no means of an uncommon character, occurred at Garstang, Lancashire, very recently. Th e 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 Girdleatone, who, since the retirement of the late chief clerk, hate 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 heats of his seniors, will enable him to stand in the same position to Mr Dundas as did the lamented Mr J.
