MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued firmness prevails in the rates of dis count in the general money market, 3Z and 4 per cent, being the lowest charges for the negotiation of even the finest three months' bills; the demand is moderate. About £31,000 in gold, was taken into the Bank yesterday. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £558,700, and the exports to £330,000. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The third,series of public sales of colonial wool which commenced on the 16th July were brought to a close yesterday. The quantity offered amounted to 10Q433 bales ; there was a good at tendance of both home and foreign buyers, and the rates realised were fully equal to those current at the previous auctions in May and June. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 60c.—heavy. At the commencement of business in the English Stock market this morning there was a decline of per cent. upon a few sales, but a recovery has since taken place, and Consols, which were 93 for money, and 931 s for the account, are now 931 and 931- 7, respectively. There is very little business in progress, owing in a great measure to the limited number of members present.

On calling out for assistance several soldiers came to the rescue, who recommended the unfortunate gentleman rather to lean forward towards the bear than to tear himself away, as otherwise he might be dragged into the enclosure and worried on the spot. On this being done the bear was soon made to release his hold, and the gentleman, we are happy to say, escaped without severe injury.

FUNERAL OF FIELD-MARSHAL LORD CLYDE, G.C.8.---This Day. The remains of this noble hero (better known as Sir Colin Campbell), and whose brilliant achieve ments rank him as one of England's greatest Gene rals, were consigned to their last resting-place this day at half-past 12 o'clock. Consonant with his unostentatious disposition throughout life, Lord Clyde had requested to be buried "as a private country gentleman" in Kensal-green Cemetery; but by the desire of her Majesty's Government, West minsteran d appropriate Abbey x to ed co u l o i n n a a s ll athmatorweasfimttionrg tal of the brave soldier, one whose life had been eo long and ungrudgingly spent in behalf of his Queen and country. The spot selected for the grave is most judicious, being in the nave of the Abbey, facing the choir, and directly opposite the new pulpit. Itis, in fact,on ly six feet distant from where lies his comrade in arms, Sir James Outram, and very nearly opposite the arch between the second and third pillars from the organ loft, on the south side of the nave, and may easily be found. It is a curious fact that at the funeral of Sir James Outram Lord Clyde stood between five and six feet from the grave and wept during the ceremony. Precisely at that spot Lord Clyde now lies buried. At half-past 11 o'clock the body of the deceased was put into the hearse, and the procession began to move, at first very slowly. There were 15 mourning carriages, containing the following mourners : First Carriage—General Eyre, Colonel M 'Murdo,Colonel Alison, Lieutenant Eyre. Second Carriage—The Rev. Mr. Inglis, Mr. Coningham, M.P., Mr. J. H. Gladstanes, Mr. Kerr. Third Carriage—General Forster, Earl de Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Longford, the Marquis of Donegal. Fourth Carriage—Lord Gough, General Arbuthnot, the Earl of Lucan, Lord Rokeby. Fifth Carriage—Sir Richard Airey, Lord Wm. Paulet, Sir H. Horsford, Earl St. Maur, Sixth Carriage—Colonel Shadwell, Major Alison, and two other gentlemen. Seventh Carriage--Major-General Coke, Major Dormer, Viscount Dangan, Major Mansfield. Eight Carriage—Sir R. Hamilton, Colonel Street, Col. Nepean, Colonel Ward. Ninth Carriage—Colonel Whimper, Major Stephenson, Major Sutherland, Colonel Balfour. Tenth Carriage—Mr. W. H. Ru.sell, LL.D. (the his torian of the Crimea), Mr. Crawford, Mr. Romaine, Mr. Campbell. Eleventh Carriage—Mr. Clutterbuck, the Ray. Mr. Clutterbuck, Dr. Jacobson, Mr. William Gladstanes, jun. Twelfth Carriage—The Rev. J. W. Reeve, Mr. John T. Delane, Mr. Seese, Mr. Rees. Thirteenth Carriage—Rev. Mr. Carpenter, Dr. Dick and two other gentlemen. The other mourning carriages were occupied by the servants of the deceased. These carriages were followed by those of H.R.H. the Duke of Cam bridge, Commander-in-Chief, H.R H. the Prince of Wales (drawn by six horses), her Majesty the Queen (drawn by six horses), the servants being in deep mourning, his.Grece the Duke of Wellington, and between twenty and thirty private carriages. The procession moved along Berkeley -street and Piccadilly, down St. James's-street, along Pall-mall, Cockspuz -street, Whitehall, Parliament -street, and across the Broad Sanctuary, into Dean's-yard, the coffi❑ being conveyed into the Abbey through the West Cloister door. Tne appearance of the Abbey at the time the pro cession entered was very striking. Although it was understood that the funeral would be strictly private, and there was some doubt whether a choral service would be performed, the nave and choir were crowded with persons, the majority of whom were in mourning —a better state of things than prevailed on some former occasions, when ladies appeared in dresses of the most gorgeous de • scription. In the Abbey there were a vast number of soldiers, while others vainly sought admission. The procession moved slowly along to the solem❑ strains of the organ and choir, the music being " I am the resurrection and the life," " I know that my Redeemer liveth," and " W e brought nothing into this world," by Croft, and on the body reach ing the choir the 90th Psalm was chanted (chant in G minor—H. Purcell). The impro3- sive funeral service of the Church was then read by the Rev. Lord John Thynne, sub dean of Westminster, the procession moving to the grave, after the reading of the 15th chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. At the grave there was sung, "Man that is born of a woman," and "In the midst of life" (Croft's music), and " Thou knowest, Lord" (Purcell's). After the prayer, " Inasmuch as it hath pleased God," there was also sung, " I heard a voice from Heaven" (Croft's music), and the mortal remains of the vete ran soldier were committed to their last resting place. After the last collect, " 0 merciful God," &c., the words and music of Handel's Anthem were heard pealing through the ancient pile, —" This body is buried in peace, but his name livest evermore," and the impressive ser vice was closed by the organ performance of " The Dead March in Saul," after which the procession retired. The organist was , Mr. Thurle, and the whole of the choral arrangements were under the direction of Arthur Samuel Flood Jones, M.A., Minister of St. Matthew's, Spring-gardens, in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Haden, the precentor. Amongst the clergymen present were the Rev. J. Lupton, the Rev. F. K. Harbord, the Rev. C. M. Arnold, and the Rev. J. Antrobus. The coffin in which Lord Clyde was placed was of the plainest possible character, with this very simple inscription—" Field Marshal Lord Clyde. Died 14th Auguat, 1863, aged 70 years." The principal arrangements were under the direc tion of Mr. Hatchard of Crawford-street. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated _London sews.) The will of air Culling Eardley Eardley, Bart., of Bed well Park, near Hatfield, Hefts, was proved in the London Court by H. C. E. Childers, Esq., M.P., and G. Lushington, Esq., of Lincoln's-inn, barrister-at-law, the joint acting executors. The personalty was sworn. under £45,000. Sir Culling executed his will in 1860, and died at the age of 58. His only son and successor to thelitle being amply provided for, the testator leaves the unsettled estates of Bedwell Park and Nettleton for the benefit of his two daughters, with an ultimate limitation in favour of his son in the event of his daughters dying without issue. The property set tled upon the son appears to consist of the large and valuable estate at Borough Fen, in the counties of Lincoln and North ampton. There are many specific bequests and directions contained in the will. He directs the building operations upon his estate of Belvidere, at Erith, to be continued. This estate (as the testator himself mentions in his will) will ulti mately become a district parish, and to that end Sir Culling had erected a church and parsonage house. The testator has directed his executors to offer to the Commissioners of the National Gallery his " Madonna," by Murillo, fo: a sum of £lO,OOO, which amount, if received, is to be given to the Possessor of the Bedwell estate; and further directs that his painting, by the same master, of " The Flight into Egypt," is, in the event of the " Madonna" being so purchased, to be s P p r a e r s k e a: te d B; h Belvidere a late e ft to the National Gallery.

The will of the late Thomas Corbyn Janson, Esq. of Stamford-hill, and of Abehurch-lane, London, banker, was proved on the sth inst. by his widow, his brother Frederick Halsey Janson, Esq., and his brother-in-law Edward Jan son, Esq., the executors. The assets were sworn under £60,000. The will, which is dated May Ist, 1860, is very simple, and occupies only one sheet of paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WHERE ARE CRIMINAL BOYS TO BE SENT ?—TIVO boys named Charles Henry Gough and Frederick Williams were brought before Mr. Knox charged with frequenting Oxford-street for the purpose of picking pockets. The prisoners were seen by King, 76 D, in Oxford-street, busily engaged in attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies, Williams putting his hand into the pockets of the ladies, and Gough acting as a cover. On taking the pri soners into custody Gough said, "You did not see me do anything," and Williams said "I had my hand in a lady's pocket, but Ido not think Gough knew it. I have no friends, and should like to go into a Reformatory; will the magistrate send me to one P" Mr. Knox remanded thOlads, and now on Williams again asking to be sent to a reformatory, Mr. Knox said there was no place to send him to. He was too old for Felthata, and the authorities of the ship Cornwall refused to take lads on board in consequence of the county of Mid dlesex refused to contribute anything towards the support of the ship. There was n 3 alternatN - e but to send him to prison, which he should do for three months, and if, when he came out of prison he came to the court he (Mr. Knox) would try and get him a ship.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—A MALE AND FEMALE SAVAGE,—George Gandy, a labourer, and Eliza Rugatt, his sister, residing at 36, Old Pye-street, West minster, were charged before Mr. Selfe, the former with assaulting Police-constable Sheen. 272 B, and Mucha'', 72 B, and the latter with attempting to rescue him from the custody of the police. Sheen stated that about four o'clock that morning he was on duty in Orchard• street when he heard a great disturb ance at the Victoria Hotel. He went there, and found a crowd of persons, amongst whom were the prisoners, who were using most foul and disgusting language. He re quested the male prisoner to be quiet and to go away ; but instead of doing so he gave complainant a severe blow on his chest. He then seized hold of him (the prisoner), upon which the female attempted to rescue him. The female prisoner upon seeing him (complainant) said, " Oh, I did not know it was you, Mr. Sheen." She, however, still endeavoured to rescue her brother, who was at length over powered with the assistance of other constables. The male prisoner was compelled to be carried to the station-house by five policemen. In answer to Mn Selfe, Sheen further stated that Gundy said, "I will show you a trick, Sheen, before we part," He was then being led by two constables when he sud denly laid hold of each of their waists and gave them a complete summersault. • Burchell stated that while he had hold of the male pri soner he bit his hand. (The witness showed a wound which was covered with adhesive plaister.) Policeman 286 B deposed that the female prisoner sud denly jumped upon him and seized hold of his right arm with her teeth. She bit him right through two coats. (The constable showed hie arm, which had had a long wound on the fleshy part of the fore arra.) The prisoners were drunk. The prisoners were seat for 14 days each to the House of Correction. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FRAUD.—Charles Anson, dark, tall, and swarthy Jew, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with obtaining 16 coats, valued at £7 10s. Isaac Goldstein, a little foreign Jew, with a red beard and moustache, gave his evidence with great vehemence. His impassioned gestures, grimaces, and mode of delivery created much amusement. He said he was a clothes dealer, dwell ing in Umberstone-street, Commercial-road. On the even ing of Thursday in last week the prisoner called upon him, and said he wanted to buy a coat, looked at a great many, and at last selected four black coats and twelve other ones. The prisoner showed him a note for £l7, and said he would get cash for it and pay for the goods when they were sent home to his house, No. 91, Heath-street, Stepney. He went to the house with his child, left the sixteen coats there, and asked the prisoner for his money. The prisoner said he could not get change for his cheque. He demanded his goods, and the prisoner said, You shall not have them." He then asked for pay ment, and the prisoner regularly pitched into him, and gave me a good hiding into the bargain. The prisoner took his goods away from him by- force. " That," continued the witness, "was mine payment. (Laughter.) Mr. Partridge—An old way of Paying new debts, not a new way to pay old debts. Witness —He threw water over me. He said I'll cool you. (Roars of laughter.) He said he would pay me over the face and eyes. I went to his house several times ; he was always out on business. Yesterday I saw him in Leman•street, Whitechapel. He was wearing my coat. I said, " You rogue, you thief, you swindler, you robber, will you come to the statim-house." He said, "No, I won't," and he seized me by the throat, and said, " I'll choke you. Thetis how he paid formine coats." (Laughter.) Mark Goldstein confirmed the statement of his brother in every particular. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses, who said they could not read. The prisoner did not say he had a bill of exchange, but said he had a note for £l7. The pri soner asked for an invoice, and one was given. The prisoner (triumphantly)—•Yes, you sold me the the goods. It is only a debt. Albert Standen, police-constable, No. 214 H, saw the prisoner and the first witness in Leman-street, yesterday afternoon. They had hold of each other. The prosecutor said, "I give this man in charge for stealing 16 coats." The prisoner had one of Goldstein's coats on his back, and four more in a wrapper under his arm. He found upon the prisoner a summons, signed by Mr. Woolrych, the magic. trate, calling upon him to show cause why he de tained four jackets, three waistcoats, and three pieces of trousers, the property of Morris Lever son. The prisoner did not appear to the summons, but settled the matter with the complainant. He also found on the prisoner a great many pawnbrokers' duplicates. Two related to coats. One was pawned on the 17th, the other on the 20th instant, An officer of the Court said the prisoner was in custody a year ago on a charge of fraud. The prisoner said the coats were sold to him. Mr. Partridge—You have been here before. Your con duct is highly suspicious; you are remanded. ondon Play-goers in 1863 and 1802-3, The very long " rune," as they are called (though they might more properly be termed long still-standings), tend (according to a Saturday Reviewer) to make the Londoner forgetful of his theatres altogether. He saw the " Duke's Motto" last January, and thus consumed the Lyceum some seven months ago. Soon afterwards a ver sion of " Lady Audley's Secret" enabled him to make short work of the St. James's. Lord Dundreary retired from the Haymarket, to leave the world in uninterrupted enjoyment of Finesse. The "Ticket-of-Leave" and the " Haunted Man" become respectively fixtures at the Olympic and the Adelphi; and Madlle. Stella Colas had no sooner established herself at the Princess's than " Romeo and Juliet" was stereotyped in the bills. In striking contrast to the foregoing resume of the past sea son, the writer thus summarises the season of sixty years ago at Old Drury and at Covent Garden :—With respect, then, to the season 1802.3: Drury-lane opened on the 16th September with Farquhar's "Inconstant," which was fol lowed by the " West Indian," the " Brothers," " Cymbe line," the " Jew," and the " Rivals"—a series showing that Cumberland's works were at that time exceedingly popular. On the 7th October, Stephen Kemble, famed for his obesity, made his first appearance as Falstaff in " Henry 1V.," and then came the " Winter's Tale," the " Gamester," the "Castle Spectre," the "Jealous Wife," "Mary Queen of Scots (a tragedy by the lion. John St. John), the " Merry Wives of Windsor, the " Suspicious Husband," " Rule a Wife and Have a Wife," the "Beggar's Opera," "Deaf and D um b," .g Douglas," " Twelfth Night," the " Beaux Stratagem," " Lovers," ;he " Wonder," the "Busy-Body," " Venice Preserved," 6 Every Man in his Humour," " Bold Stroke for a Wife," " Trip to Scarborough," the " Count of Narbonne" (a tragedy by Jephson), and the " Orphan." None of th;se works were new, but, with such a varied selection from the mass of , stock plays, no one one could complain of monotony. However, OR the 29th of January, a play by 11)1croft, entitled" Hear both Sides," was brought out, and it was followed in less than a month by a tragedy written by Dimond on the subject of Gusta vus Vasa, and entitled she " Hero of the North." In the beginning of March, an actor from America named Cooper made his debut, and played a few Shakspearian characters ; and in April came another new comedy, called the " Mar riage Promise," of which Allingham was the author. Of the farces and other afterpieces, and of the benefits, we have said nothing. At Covent-garden, which opened on the 13th of Septem ber with " Folly as it plies''--a comedy by Reynolds, first brought out in the preceding year—Cooke was the great attraction, and went though a series of plays, which com prised " Richald " Hamlet," " Merchant of Venice," "Every Man in his Rumour," and tho "Man of the World." These were alternated with others in which he did not appear, and which comprised " Romeo and Juliet," " Henry IV." the "Suspicious Husband," the " Cure for the Heart Ache," the" Way to Get Married" (a comedy by Morton), and the "Beaux. Stratagem." All these pieces were played in the interval between the opening and the 30th of October, when a new comedy by Reynolds, called " Delays and lunders," was brought out. Other novelties were Holcrott's "Tale of Myststy," one of the earliest and (in its day) most famous of melo-dramas ; the younger Colman's "John Bull," of which it is recorded as an event little short tf miraculous that it was played for 48 nights; and a version of Schiller's "Kabal and Liebe," entitled the "Harper's Daughter." Our list is by no means complete, but, without lodking further, surely here was enough f or t h e inhabitants of a cap i ta l to ta lk a b out; an d it must be a d m i tted that the do i ngs o f t h e numerous play houses of our own day, during a corresponding period of time, furnish a chronicle meagre indeed as compared with this moll of two the3tre2. Daring Alpine Ascent by a Lady. A correspondent, writing to the Times, states : " The Queen of the Bernese Alps,' considered by the natives of the country one of the most difficult ascents in Switzerland, has, by the intrepidity of Mrs. Stephen Wink worth (daughter of Mr. Thomas son, of Bolton), been lately proved accessible to woman as well as to man. Last Thursday, about 12.55 p.m., Mrs. Winkworth, accompanied by her husband, myself, and three guides, started from the Hotel de la J ungfrau to sleep at the Faulberg, where there is a cave with two separate recesses, in some of the large rocks which over.i ang the great Aletsch glacier. This trysting place we reached at five o'clock the same day and left again by candle light at 1.25 the following morning. We were safely piloted by Benen over the crevasses and broken ice which lay in our way for about an hour after start ing. The ascent of the Aletsch glacier is very gradual, and somewhat tedious for a considerable distance above the Faulberg, but as the snow was generally in a good state, we were enabled to reach the top of the steep ice slope leading to the CIJ du Roththal at about 5.50. Here we breakfasted, and deposited our imped;rizenta in the form of remain ing provisions, &c., upon the snow, in order to leave our guides as unencumbered as possible for the latter part of the ascent. At 7.10 we commenced to climb the last ice slope, which, although not yet entirely denuded of snow, is rapidly becoming so, and every week this dry sea son continues would render the passage of it more difficult and dangerous. The step cutting was excellent. The last ice slope culminates in a short and very narrow ridge of eoft snow, which until trampled down had very little more than the breadth of the human foot. Along this mete Mrs. Wink worth walked upright with the assistance of the guides. The rest of us did the same in turn. The little black flag was still gallantly holding its own at the summit. That it could continue to do so long, however, appearel to us very doubtful. On comparing our watches, we found our ascent bad taken us seven hours and a half, including 35 minutes occupied in breakfasting—not bad walking for a lady. The weather, which about daybreak had presented a rather threatening aspect, in the form of large clouds, was now, about nine a.m., very flue, although very unfavourable to a distant view. After looking around for a few minutes upon vast masses of spotless snow, and black and barren rock destitute of animal existence, the eye was glad to drop its regard into the green valleys of the Oberland, ou the smiling village of Unter seen, and the lovely lake of Thun. But the summit of the Jungfrau is by no means a comfortable rest ing place, so after ten minutes spent there we again roped, and we effected our descent to the bottom of the slope in about an hour and a quarter. Notwith standing the difficulty and danger of this day's work, Mrs. Winkworth, who, as I understand, had slightly sprained her knee two days before on the Aletschorm, demanded hardly more assistance from the guides than many men, as little accustomed to ice-work as herself, might have been excused for doing." Wreck of the Steamer Georgia. LIVERPOOL, Friday. By the arrival of the Cunard steamer Scotia at Queenstown this morning, we regret to learn the intelligence of the total loss of the fine new screw steamer Georgia, Captain Gleaded, on Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, on or about the sth inst. The Georgia cleared from New York on the 30th ult., and sailed for Liverpool on the following day with a large cargo, valued at about £130,000. The cargo consisted of 69 bales of cotton, 2,374 barrels flour, 44,480 bushels of wheat, 972 gallons of sperm oil, 522 hhds. of tobacco (valued at about £30,000), 270,000 lb. of bacon, 195,000 lb. of lard, 161 bales of hair, 426 bags of nuts, 39,059 lb. of cheese ; tal low, 26,609 lb. ; butter, 25,735 lb. ; staves, 6,200, besides a large quantity of clay, foots, rags, &c. This was only the second return voyage of the Georgia from New York, as she was launched to wards the close of last year from the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. J. Reid and Co., of Port-Glasgow. She was a vessel of a very fine model and large carrying capacity, of 2,414 tons burden, 300 horse power, and barque-rigged. She was owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Ferule Brothers and Co., and was intended, on the cessation of hostilities in the United States, to form one of a new line of nfail steamers to run between Liverpool and New Orleans. _ _ The crew are reported safe, but the vessel is stated to be a complete wreck. Some of the new mercantile marine insurance offices will, it is said, be heavy losers by this wreck. HOUSELESS WANDERERS.—After the arrival of every boat the streets of Ramsgate just now, says a lady, are crowded with knots of people who wander about as though they had been recently rendered homeless by some dread calamity. This is especially apparent in Margate. Batches of families have come down from the east and from the west, from the north, and from the south of London, having left their habitations in the great capital under the belief that Providence would provide for their reception on the sea-coast. They have been in the habit of doing so in years gong by, even when the now expanding fatber of those four bouncing girls and two boys, and his wife, their mother, were young things, upon whom the cares of wedded life, or the calls of imperious businees, had not yet dawned ; and they have left Laburnum Villa or Hollyhock Lodge under the impression that Margate and Ramsgate were a kind of carpet-bag that could never be thoroughly filled. Well, at all events, they have, during this last week, been wofully undeceived in that respect, and i t has been quite a pitiable sight to see the co untenances of papa and mamma, as they wandered about the streets with out a place to put their heads in. They have left their lug gage at the station with Sarah Jane , the smirking nurse maid, and the two youngest olive branches, just budding into muslin and frilled trousers; and upon their counten ances, as the sun is sinking in the west, there com es an ex pression, not of joyous anticipation and exuberant pleasure, but of dark forebodings and of blank despair. It has already almost been distressing to see them, except th a t th e disin terested spectator find s some relief in the ludicrous side of the picture, which of course the parties themselves cannot see. I confess that I have been hardened enough; per haps some people into which malicious en oug h to watch and s t u dy the perplexities which the lodging seekers under these circumstances have been thrown. The look of something like horror with which Paterfamilias has rushed out of an establishment with uplifted hands, after having been informed of the appalling demand that has just been made for accommodation that he declares to be barely decent, is really ludicrously painful to behold ; and then the expression of blank dismay that gra dually creeps over the countenances of the good gentleman and his wife, as the crushing truth gradually manifests itself, that there are no lodgings to be had, for even those that have just been alluded to have been snapped up, and all is desolation in their hearts, no t at all relieved by the frivolity of those chits in muslin and fast hats, and the two boys, who really seem t o be imbued with the impres. sion that wandering about a s trange town with ou t a p l ace to put their heads in i s prime fun.

SURELY DICKENS'S FRENCH CORPORAL in that last Christmas number of All the Year Round, called " Somebody's Luggage I"—Several journals relate the fol lowing anecdote :—During the siege of Puebla a company of infantry entered a street which had been set on fire. As they passed along, the cries of a child were heard to pro. ceed from one of the houses. Some of them rushed at once nto the house, and found the poor child, a boy about 18 months old, in a room already full of smoke. On return ing to their companions, rather embarrassed with their finding, a corporal exclaimed—" We cannot leave the poor innocent to perish here ; I will strap him on my knapsack, and if I fall during the day come other of you must tak care of him." The generous corporal and his charge ha( the good fortune to escape unhurt, and on returning to camp at night the poor thing, which had fallen asleep on its hard resting place, was fed and well cared for. The next morning, after vain efforts to discover his parents, the company, with the colonel's permission, adopted the child, and will take charge of him till he can be restored to his family,—ae/igttani.

THE HARVEST IN SUSSEX.—Harvest operations throughout this county are now fast drawing to a close, and it is expected that few days more will see the whole of the grain crops safely housed. The harvest in all parts of the county has been a most plentiful ono. A more abundant crop of wheat, or one of finer quality, has not been grown for many years. This is confirmed by the result of the threshing in those places where it has been effected, the yield being in some cases 12, 13, and in some instances as ma ny as 14 sacks per acre. Oats have likewise turned out a good crop, and the yield is higher than the average, as a larger breadth was sown with this grain than usual. Barley has turned out well also, but as it has not been so extensively cultivated in Sussex of late years, the supply of it will most likely prove rather short. The rains during tho past few days have had no appreciable effect in retarding the ingathering of the harvest, but have rather stimulated the farmers to increased exertions so as to have the whole of their crops securely garnered as soon as possible. The rain has exercised a most beneficial influence upon the hop plantations, so that a very perceptible change for the better has taken place upon them within the last ten days. Th e plant, now considerably cleared of vermin, has grown sur prisingly; and although the crop cannot be an abundant one, the prospects of the hop planters have become consi, derably brighter of late. SUICIDE BY A SERGEANT OF THE 52D FOOT AV CHATHAM. —At an early hour yesterday morning, Malcolm Montgomery, a sergeant in the 62d Light Infan try, committed selt-destruction by shooting himself with his rifle. The deceased was placed under arrest the pre vious day for being drunk. He went to bed at the usual hour, and the lights in the barrack room were put out. Shortly after 3 o'clock, the men in the room were aroused from their sleep by the report of a rifle. Corporal Lordun, who had charge of the room, immediately procured a light and found the deceased lying on his back on his bed, with a rifle between his legs, the muzzle near his chin, and a piece of string attached to the trigger. Blood was flowing from the back of the neck, through which the ball had passed. Life was not extinct, but deceased very soon died. Montgomery had been to Hythe for rifle instruction, and returned to Chatham on Saturday. Since his return to the depot he took to drinking, and when under the influence of liquor he was perfectly wild in his manner, Deceased had been ten years and four months in the regiment. An in quest was held on the body yesterday, and after the evi dence of several witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. MURDER BY A SAILOR IN LIVERPOOL.—At the Liverpool assizes yesterday, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, James O'Brien, a tall young sailor, of 26, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Callaghan on the 20th June last. The facts of the case were short and simple. Callaghan was a woman of ill-repute, and O'Brien had visited her house. While he was asleep Mather (the girl with whom he was consorting) rose, took some money from his pockets, and treated the other inmates of the house to drink. She took about six shillings, and on coming up stairs again she found that during her absence four sove reigns had been taken out of the sailor's pocket. She then. awoke O'Brien, who accused the landlady of robbing him. She denied that she knew anything of it, and O'Brien then took Mather with him to the police-office, but the poli ce declined to interfere. O'Brien then swore he would have satisfaction of his own, and he subsequently purchased a sheath knife, went to the house of Callaghan, and plunged the knife into her stomach. The woman died almost im mediately, and shortly afterwards the prisoner was himself arrested. The jury found the prisoner " Guilty of wilful murder," and he was sentenced to death. The prisoner bore the sentence with great calmness. . A. PRISON OFFICER STABBED AT WAKEFIELD. At the West Riding (prison) sessions yesterday, at Wake field House of Correction, it was reported that a convict, named John Johnson, had made an attempt upon the life of Mr. Clifton Shepherd, one of the officers.
