Mr. Prestige lost sight of Vickers in the lane, and immediately returned to the van, of which Gooch was in charge. Vickers soon returned with the bag empty. Mr. Prestige took it from him, and called the uolice to arrest both men. Gooch was taken on the spot. Vickers eluded the Search made after him until Tuesday last when he was taken into custody by Uriah Haserly, a police-constable of the H division. He (Mr. C. Young) should now make out a complete case against him, and asked the magistrate to commit the prisoner for trial. Several witnesses were called by Mr. Young, who clearly made out the case against Vickers. It was also proved that 19 bales and three bags of wool were put into Messrs. Seaward's van on the 13th of August in good order, and that the bag when seized by Mr. Prestige contained frag ments of wool. The prisoner, who conducted himself in a most impuden manner, and frequently contradicted and abused the wit. news, said he was quite innocent. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. The Livingston Expedition, In a letter to Sir R. Murchison, dated " Murchi son Cataracts (on the Shire), April 25," Dr. Living ston says—" With sorrow I have to communicate the sad intelligence that Mr. Richard Thornton died on the 21st current. He performed a most fatiguing journey from this to Tette and back again, and that seemed to use up all his strength, for, thereafter, he could make no exertion without pain ful exhaustion. His object was to connect his bearings of the hills at Tette (on the Zambesi) with the mountains here. I knew nothing of his re solution till after he had left. Ho had resolved to go home after he had examined Zamba and the Melanje range, but on the 11th ho was troubled with diarrhoea, which ran on to dysentery and fever. We hoped to the last that his youth and unimpaired constitution would carry him through, as he had suffered comparatively little from fever, but we were disappointee. An insidious delirium prevented us learning aught of his last wishes. All his papers, &c., were at once sealed up, and are sent home to his brother at Bradford. He is buried about 500 yards from the foot of the first cataract, and on the right bank of the Shire." After allud ing to the depopulation of the valley, and the pro bability of his being obliged to take to pieces the steamer, and screw her together, with the view of a sale,Dr. Livingstonthus concludes :—" Dr. Kirk and Mr. Charles Livingston now go home. The scene of desolation around us reacts on my health badly."— In a letter to the limes, Sir R. Murchison says Earnestly hoping that the great South African explorer may now come home to his motherless cbildren and numerous friends, and not expose his' valuable life to further risks, I must, in justice to the memory of young Richard Thornton, say a few words upon his labours, in anticipation of what may result from the publication of the papers he has left ' behind him. Educated in the Royal School of Mines, and greatly distinguished by the professors under whom he studied, he was much attracted by the ex ploits of Dr. Livingston, and, having volunteered to go out as the geologist and topographer of the second e xpedition of my eminent friend, I had no hesitation i n recommending him for that purpose. After m aking plans and sketching maps of the banks of the Zambesi, illustrated by geological observations and sections, he quitted the Livingston expedition, and repaired eventually to Zanzibar, with a view c f extending his surveys in equatorial Africa. There he fortunately met with the energetic Hanoverian traveller, the Baron C. von der Decken, with whom b e passed into the mainland, and ascended theflanks o f the lofty, snow-capped mountain Kilimanjara, ma ki n g maps of this equatorial region, accompa nied by geologic a l notes. At the close of that ad venture he wrote to me, unfolding the desire he felt to traverse Africa from east to west, and thus determine the true physical structure of the centre and flanks of the southern map of the great conti nent. In the meantime, returning to his original duties on the Zambesi, to correlate his observations in the two eastern regions which he had examined, h e has fallen a victim to the treacherous climate, wh i c h had previously carried off, in too rapid suc cession, the good Bishop Mackenzie and his arch deacon, as well as the exemplary and devoted wife o g Livtagston.'' MANSION HOUSE. ROBBERY BY A CEPRIL—Henry Thornton Tubbs, of 10, Cornwall-villas, Dalston, clerk in the firm of Messrs. Dalgetty, merchants, Gresham-street, was placed before Aldermen Abbis and Hale, charged with stealing a letter containing four £5 Bank of England notes, the property of his employer. It appeared that the prisoner, who was highly respect ably connected, was a clerk in the house of Dalgetty and Cc., and in that capacity, on the 29th of September, he re ceived a cheque for £2O from the chief clerk, who was a relative of one of the firm, with directions to proceed to the Bank and get it changed for 4 £5 Bank of England notes, which, after having taken the numbers, he was to place in the letter and leave in the usual manner for postage. The letter never reached its destination, and this occasioned some inquiries to be made at the General Post-office, when an officer was instructed to investigate the matter, He inquired at several jewel lers shops in Cheapside as to whether any notes had been taken, and he then discovered that three notes had been changed in payment for a watch and chain, a ring and pin, On arriving at Messrs. Dalgetty's, the prisoner was questioned about the letter. He said he did not post it him self, as it was not his duty to do so. He was then asked whether he had recently purchased a watch, &c., when he replied that he had, and upon being further questioned as to whether he had paid for them in notes, he replied that he had, and eventually confessed to the robbery. Mr. Decroz, chief clerk to Messrs. Dalgetty, said he directed the prisoner to proceed to the bank and get a cheque cashed for £2O, which he was directed to enclose in a letter, and send as directed, in the usual manner. He saw the letter afterwards, directed in the prisoner's handwriting. The letter never: reaching its destination, an inquiry was made respecting it. The prisoner denied all knowledge of it, after he had directed and left it for the porter to convey to the Post-office, The prisoner was not suspec'ed of the robbery, and remained in the employ of Messrs. Dalgetty till yesterday, when, in consequence of a communication from a detective officer, he was given into custody. The bank clerk proved the payment of the cheque for £2O in four five-pound notes of the corresponding numbers to those produced by the police. George Russell said he was a detective c fficer, and yes • terday he went to Messrs. Dalgetty's, and saw the prisoner in the presence of his master, who handed the witness a silver watch, a gold chain, a ring, and pin, and said the prisoner had given them to him, stating that they had been purchased with the stolen notes. He said to the prisoner, " You hear what your master says ; is that true ?' to which he replied "Yes." He was then taken into custody and charged with stealing a letter contain ing- four five pound notes, the property of Messrs. Dalgetty and Co. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and at the prosecutor's wish it was disposed of summarily. Alderman A bbiss sentenced_him to four months' im. prisonment with hard labour. BOW-STREET. A SAD CASE OF DESTITUTION.—A little girl, about 12 years of age, named .Nlary Ann Leech, was charged before Mr. Hall with begging. One of the officers of the Mendicity Society said for the last two or three years ho had known the child to be about the streets, but he had never seen her beg and follow people until yesterday, when he took her into custody. She ap peared very ill, and had scarcely any clothing on. He asked where she lived, when she told him her mother and father were both dead, and that ever since that she had had to walk about the streets, and sleep, and get a little to eat the best way she could. Mr. Hall said it was a shocking thing to see a poor child in such a condition, and asked where she slept last night. The child said in Old Pye-street, Westminster. Some time ago a good lady took her to the workhouse, in York street, where they took her in, but turned her out the next morning. She had not a friend or relative in the world. She felt very sick and ill, having had nothing to eat for a long time. Mr. Hall then sent for the relieving-officer of the Strand Union, and having explained to him the circumstances of the case, he instantly took the child to the Union, in order that its pressing necessities might be immediately attended to, and some inquiry made into the real facts attending its expulsion from the workhouse at 'Westminster. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. DEFRAUDING WEST-END TRADESMEN.—WiIIiaM H. Palmer, a young man, who was taken into custody at Guernsey, by Sergeant Joy 9 C, was charged before Mr. Knox, with obtaining some lace of the value of £7 from Mr. Septimus Augustus Whitfield and others, Inman, of 142, New Bond-street, by fraudulent means. William Henry Painter, assistant to Messrs. Whitfield and Co, said that on the 27th of May last, the prisoner called and asked for some lace, stating that he was sent by Mr. Roche (a customer). He (witness) then communicated with Mr. Septimus Augustus Whitil4d, one of the firm, who told him to let the prisoner have the lace, and he then gave him eight pieces of the value of £7, and the prisoner took it away with him and also the invoice. 111 r. Knox said it would be necessary on another occasion to have Mr. Whitfield present, as It was Mr. Whitfield who had ordered the assistant to lot the prisoner have the goods, believing that he came from Mr Roche. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said that he received information in May last, that the prisoner had obtained goods from Messrs. Whitfield and Co., and other,West-end tradesmen, by frau dulent means. He traced the prisoner to Jersey and Guern soy, and on Monday last succeeded in apprehending him at the latter place. On telling the prisoner that he was a police officer, and that he had a warrant to take him into custody for defrauding Messrs. Whitfield and Co., and others, at the west end of the town, he replied, " Yes, it's all right, my name is Palmer. I certainly have done it, and it is all through horse-racing, for I have lost from five to seven hundred pounds in horse-racing. I was in hopes before this that I might have been enabled to pay all the tradesmen I have defrauded." Mr. Knox said ho supposed some one from Mr. Roche would be in attendance. Sergeant Joy said there would be, and that there were several other cases against the prisoner. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. ANOTHER CASE.—Elizabeth Hensley, formerly house keeper to Mr. Spode, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, was charged with obtaining money, and also endeavouring to obtain some curtains by false pretences from Messrs. Sewell and Cress, Compton House, Compton-street, Soho, From the evidence of Henry Flanders, warehouseman to Messrs. Sewell and Cross, is appeared that on the 9th of June last the prisoner went to the shop in a state of groat excitement and apparent grief, stating that she was house keeper, to Mr. Spode, of Hugeley, Staffordshire (a customer of the firm), and that sha had been robbed of her purse on her arrival at the London station of the Birmingham Rail way. As Mr, Spode was a customer of the house, Mr. Hubbard, one of the firm, asked the prisoner, as she had no money, whether a sovereign would assist her, at the same time advising her to write to Mrs, Spode, acquainting her with her misfortune. The prisoner said 30a. would be better, and the money being handed to her she then sat down and wrote a letter to Mrs. Spode, telling her of the misfortune she had met with, and begging Mrs. Spode to write to her by return of post. After t ome conversation with the assis tants the prisoner suddenly recollected that Mrs. Spode had told her to select some curtains, and some being shown the prisoner, she chose curtains to the amount of £25, ordering them to be sent to Mrs. Spode. The goods were scat, and then the prisoner's fraud was discovered. Mr. Knox said there was no doubt that all the prisoner had said about the curtains was to cover the affair of the 30s. Mr. Sharratt, steward to Mr. Spode, said that the pri soner left Mr. Spode's service iu April last year. Butcher, 137 C, deposed to taking the prisoner into cus tody at Birmingham yesterday, on her leaving the borough gaol, when she said she was sorry for what she had done. There was another charge against the prisoner for a similar offence at a fishmonger's in Oxford-street. Remanded. THAMES. CAUGHT AT LAST.—ROBBERY OF WOOL,—Henry Vickers, a carman, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 141bs. of wool, the property of Messrs. Gooch and Cousens, wool- merchants and brokers, of London -wall. Mr, Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, which he s a id was one of a very important description. Robberies of goods in transit had been very common, and practised by carmen, lightermen, canal bargemen, and even by people on railways who had charge of valuable pro pertywith transit , aetio and it was absolutely necessary that every ea(ouse s r h e o la u t l i d ogn be int p o rosecut e d, and when a conviction took i n place severe examples made.

After he had done so Vickers took more wool out of another bale, threw it on the ground, and picked it up. The wool was forced into the same bag. When the van and horses were driven away Mr. Ge orge Prestige, clerk to Gooch and Cousens, followed, and sa w the van and horses slopped opposite the Crooked Billet public-house, on Tower-hill, where Gooch, the carman, MARKETS—This Day.

EXCURSIONS FROM FRANCE TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE and back in one day at this season of the year I It is a tremendous distance for a day's pleasure, but had it been mid June instead of October the idea would have been enticing to the novelty-hunti ng French. The LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON remarked that those who were fond of field sports, hunting, racing, and shooting, always made the best cavalry officers, as the pur suit of these manly exercises gave them activity, nerve, and quick:,ightedness, in addition to rendering them healthy, and capable of enduring great fatigue. The Dusseldorf Gazette announces the receipt of a letter from the Count de Spee, councillor, acting in the absence of the sub-prefect, in which he says that, in consequence of the warning which was rendered necessary by the attitude taken by that journal, it has ceased to be the organ of official publications, and may now cease to send gratuitously to the various burgomasters the copies of each number which were hitherto obligatory. The Princess-Regeat of Reuss-Greiz has just for bidden any kind of rejoicings within her princi pality in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Leipsick. A committee• had already been formed to deli berate on the details of the fete, when an ordinance ap peared forbidding in a most absolute manner the perform ance of any religious service, the firing of salvoes of artil lery, or the lighting of bonfires on the mountains on the occasion. The Avvenire of Naples states that three priests were tried on the Bth instant at Salerno, on a charge of being abettors of brigands. One of the pri soners, named Alfonso Oristano, was condemned to hard labour for life ; the other two, Curtazzo and De Marco, to 20 years of the same punishment. JOAN BUNYAN'S FLUTE !—The flute with which John Bunyan beguiled the tediousness of his captive hours is now in the possession of Mr. Howell, tailor, Gains borough. In appearance it is not unlike the leg of a stool --out of which, it is said, Bunyan, while in prison, manu factured it. When the turnkey, attracted by the sound of music, entered his cell, the flute was replaced in the stool, and by this means detection was avoided. VIOLENT STORM.--Truro, Tuesday Afternoon.--- Last night various parts of Cornwall were visited by one of the fiercest gales of wind that are remembered to have prevailed during a long period. A stiff bretze com menced in the morning, and gradually developed itself into a perfect hurricane. Rain, too, poured down in torrents. This morning the weather is calmer, although we have had a high wind, in addition to rain, and heavy peals of thun der. Reports from various quarters speak of considerable damage to house property that has been effected. At 235 p.m. the wind appears to be again rising, Reports from Falmouth state that her Majesty's ship Russell, 60 guns, Commander Grenfell, was uriven from her moorings across the bars, where she now remains. LORD LOVAINE, who has been draining Dowal tan Loch, between Wigtown and Fort William, has found traces of lacustrine habitations in the bed of the loch. Ar• tificial islands appear to have been made by means of stones mixed with fern and other branches, bows of trees, and other timber rudely worked. Piles have also been found, and many teeth and other bones of animals , a bronze vessel, earthenware articles, a small granite quern, beads, frag ments of armlets, and other relics. No distinct remains of dwellings have yet been found, and no tool or weapon of any kind. . The Opinione of Turin gives the following par ticulars of the ordinary and extraordinary Italian Budget for 18d4:— " The Minister of Finance, according to the law of the 28th of July, 1 863 , has presented to the President of the Chamber of 11spuLi ,4 —es the tables of the changes proposed for 1864. The budget proposed to the Parliament for 1863 amounted for ordinary expenses to 772,419,000 fr., to which must be added 35,716,0 00 for the interest of the loan issued, ma king a tot a l of 808,135,000 f. The Chamber reduced that amount to 780,258,000 francs, or by about 271 millions. The Cham ber, in approving of that Budget even for 1864, imposed fresh savings to the amount of 900,000 francs, but did not by so doing deprive the Mi nistry of the right of making ulterior propo sitions. The Ministry fulfilled the first part of its mandate by the Royal decree of the 30th of August, it now performs the second by proposing o th er saving for the sum of 19,605,000 francs, which fixes the total amount of the reductions indicated by the Ministry for 1864, to 24 , 5 00,000 fr, on the ordivary expenses, and will make an economy of more than 45 millions realised on those expenses in two years, without having in any way in fringed on the organic laws. This result evidently shows that when the Minister of Finance an nounced the possibility of effecting an economy o f 100 millions on the Budget peesented by his pre decessors, he stated what was feasible. As to the extraordinary Budget, the sum of 190,380,000 francs was proposed for 1 86 3, which sum was reduced by the Parliament to 163,032,000 fr. The Budget for :1864 is now proposed at 124,106,000 f., and the Budget for that year presents. when compared with that voted for 1863, a saving of 63,430,000frt, and with tbftt of 1862, 118,155,000 f. Letter from the Southern States. W e have received a letter, dated Wilmington, September 11, from which we make the following extracts --., R s ilway transportation is exceedingly difficult to procure, the roads and rolling stock are in a most m iserable conditi on, the greatest speed attain able is 14 or 15 mile s an hour, and the filthy state o f those cars set asid e f or passengers is perfectly to our sen se o f order. How I sigh for distressing the l ux ury of even a second-class carriage in one of our E n glish railroads, a n d to travel at the rate of 30 or 40 miles per hour, f ree from any apprehension of ap proaching danger.

CURIOUS CHARGE OF FELONY.—Yesterday, at Manchester, a respect ably dressed woman, named Mary Knowles, residing at Bolton, was charged with stealing a purse containing £2, from Mary Henson. The prosecutrix stated that about three weeks ago the prisoner came to her shop, at Gerald.. street, Pendleton, and produced a groser's pass-book, and asked if it was hers. She replied that it was not, but that she would be more likely to find an owner for it than the prisoner, and she then left it with her. The prison er asked if she would make a cup of tea for her and a friend, who, it was subsequently found, was her son. The prosecu trix said that she did not generally make te a for strangers, but would do so to oblige her. They had tea, and afteree re maining some time they left. After the prisoner i ad she son were gone, the prosecutrix missed her purse, which h believed she had in her pocket, an d immediately instituted inquiries respecting the prisoner. Her residence She imme nce s r ascer tained, and a police constabl e apprehended h digtely produced a purse, which she gave to the police con stable, and which contained a sum of money of the same amount as that which the prosecutrix had missed. She said that after leaving the prosecutrix's house she found, on arriving at the railway station, she had another purse besides her own in her pocket, and she did not know to whom it belonged.—The prisoner stated that she was a rag dealer at Bolton,andhe a r r h e u sp sb ec a t n a d b , le w ho situation. aH s a She m echanic, had been in his present situation 14 years. er s S on e camewas Manchester oa mechanic, filling to make some pu o rc s h h a e s p e s s . , and in t h e c ourse of the day she visited 20 or 3 ,h e got to the railway station she found a second purse, which was very like her own, in her pocket, and not know ing from whet shop she had taken it in mistake, she kept t h e purse and its contents unbroken until some inquiry should be made about it. When she came to Manchester she was provided with £lO, and therefore she did not want money. Mr. Trafford said he did not believe that a purse could have walked from one person's pocket to another withcut fingers, and he should therefore commit the pri soner for trial, The late Marshal Connt d'Ornano. In our yesterday's impression appeared a brief telegraphic despatch —" Marshal d'Ornauo is dead." The late distinguished Marshal Philip An tony, Count d'Ornano, was not one of the great Napoleon's marshals, but he was the last ,surviving general of division ; and furthermore, ho ;lad the honour of being allied to the imperial house. Mar shal d'Ornano was burn at Ajaccio, in the islave of Corsica, on the 17th of January, 1784, so that was in his 80th year. He was the son of Louie d'Ornano, colonel of the National Guard of Corsica, by one Isabella Bonaparte. At the age of sixteen he was appointed sub-lieutenant in the 9th Dra goons, served in the war in Italy, was aide-de-camp to General Leclerc at the expedition to St.Dominge, and was confirmed in his rank of captain given him for his bravery by General Berthi er. He was ap pointed commander of the Corsican Chasseurs, and seized several cannon at Austerlitz, D.-cember 2, 1805; distinguished himself at the storming of Lubeck and at Jena (1806), and was nominated colonel and commander of the 25th Dragoons. Holding this rank he served in Prussia, in Poland, in Spain, in Portugal, and was repeatedly mentioned in despatches, In 1809 the colonel was remarkable for his exploit in forcing his passage of the river towards Alba-da-Tornes, near Salamanca, when his prowess enabled Gen. Keller mann to gain an easy victory over the Spanish forces. He increased his fame at Ciudad Rodrigo, and at Fuentes D'Onor charged the cavalry with such ardour and intrepidity that he was named on the spot general of brigade. As general in command of the brigade of light cavalry, in the unlucky expe dition to Russia, Gen. d'Ornano specially distin guished himself at the passage of Niemen, at Mohi low, and at. Ostrowna, in 1812. After the battle of Moskowa ho was named general of division. When in command of the 7th Regiment of cavalry, he bore the brunt of the attack of Hetma❑ Platow, at the head of 10,000 men. Under Ney he did good ser vice, especially at Maloi Jaroslavitz (Oct. 4, 1812), where with 17,000 men he beat back 80,000 of the enemy with such energy and spirit that the Em peror Napoleon, when going over the field of battle on the morrow of the fight, did not hesitate to award the honours of the battle to Prince Eugene and Gen. d'Ornano. The general was left for dead on the fatal fie:d of Krasnoi, and owed his life to the de votion of his men, and to the kindly attentions of the Emperor himself, who nominated him when re covered, Jan. 21, 1813, Commander of the Imperial Dragoons, at whose head he served in Saxony against the coalesced forces of Russia and Prussia. On the death of Bessieres, the general was ap pointed general of the cavalry of the Guard, and was at the battles of Dresden, Bautzen, Leipsig, and Hanau. In January, 1814, he took the com mandership-in-chief of all the troops of the Imperial Guard—cavalry, infantry, and artillery ; he helped to defend Paris, but not all his devotion could save the fail of the Empire. Under the first Restoration we find him in command of a regiment of dragoons of the Guard, then called the " royal" corps. Daring the memorable Hundred Days he toek ser vice again under his old chief, but a severe wound prevented him from being at 'Waterloo. After this battle, General d'Ornano was arrested during the trial of Marshal Ney, and conducted a l'abbaye. Two years later he was set at liberty, but his relation to the Bonaparte family caused en forced retirement for some time at Brussels. In 1828 after his return home he was appointed inspec tor of cavalry and president of the committee which determined the admissions to St. Cyr. In 1830 he received the command of the 4th military division ; with great energy and tact he managed to put a stop at once to the eliieute in the western part of France in 1832. Loais Philippe, in return for his services, gave him a peerage. After the revolution of 1848 the count refused the command of the 14th military division, and retired into private life. But he was returned to the constituent and legislative assembly for the department of the Indre-et-Loire, and held moderate views. He was appointed Senator, Jan. 20, 1852; Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, on 13th August following; Governor of the Invalides on March 24, 1833; and Marshal of France, after 50 years' service, on April 2, 1861. He was ap pointed one of the executors of the first Napoleon's will, and received his baton when, as Governor of the Invalides, ho received the ashes of that per sonage on their being transferred from the Chapel of St. Jerome to the granite tomb in the Invalides. As guardian of the holy tomb, the Governor of the Invalides holds a high position, and the office is one of those most coveted by French generals. Tap veteran marshal expired on Monday, after a brief illness. His Majesty the Emperor took the greatest interest in the health of his high-minded friend and relative. He went to the Hotel des In valides a day or two back, and was received by the son of the marshal, Rodolphe Count d'Otranto. The dying marshal kissed his Majesty's hand, and thanked the Emperor for coming and paying him that farewell visit. "For, sire," said he, "we shall not meet again except in heaven. The Emperor, much moved, replied—" I shall not say farewell, but ,au revoir. I shall come again soon." The Arch bishop of Paris administered the last sacraments to the marshal, and he died in peace, and without much pain. He married, in 1816, the Countess Leezynska, widow of the Count Anastase de Coloans Walewski (mother of Count Walewski), and by her, who died I prematurely in December, 1817, he had issue a son, Rodolphe Auguste Count d'Ornano, born at Liege, in June, 1817. This son was educated at the Col lege of Louis le Grand, and aAt t a school was attached preparatory' to the College of Saint C y r • to the French Legation at Dresden ; but his inti macy with Prince Louis Napoleon, which after wards was of service to him under the second Empire, caused him to be relieved, under Louis Philippe, from his diplomatic functions. He retired to Touraine, and published " Les Tourangelles," " Les Napoleoniennes," " Les Echos d'Espagne," and other works, had a considerable share in " I es Francsia peints par eux meaies," and became a member of several learned societies. He subse quently travelled in Corsica, Italy, and S vitzerland, and visited at Areneuberg the present French Em peror, then in exile. He was appointed Prefect of the Yonne in 1851 ; was appointed representative of the department in the Corps Legislatif a short time afterwards, and became subsequently Chamber lain and Master of the Ceremonies to the Emperor. H e was strongly in opposition to the stockjobbing scan dals of 1857, in spite of his position a t C ourt. - He is an officer of the Legion of Honour, and has received the Order of Malta. His work of 1860, 4. On the Administration of the Empire," is a mas terly one, and had a great sale. H e marr i e d i n 1845 Marquis daughter of the arquas v Napoleon d'Ornano, a cous i n of er d'Argenson. w as an officer of the 3d Dragoons, Count Rodolphe's, joined Louis Na poleon in England, Was triedby s, the Peers, and im prisoned at Doullens, and died Inspector of the Imperial Palace at Vic - sur-Aisne Dec. 2, 1859. METROPOLITAN MAIN DRAINAGE.—If we ob serve a contour map of London, we shall see the irregularities and undulations u. its surface are not alto gether devoid of a certain method and order, and in the main resolve themselves into the general valley of the Thames, like the sloping sides of a double roof towards a central glitter. It is evident that, if we allow the sewage to flow laterally down from the highest slopes into a central main drain, running through the entire length and median line of the metropolis like an under-ground river parallelous with the Thames, we should require a culvert of ennor_n?, of size, to provide not only for the sewage, but the rai - 0 /gi n i! o the whole district, and that the hydraulic pressuret atPensio":3, masonry of the culverts would be of the hig hes t t s t risky while the liability to accident would be of % a ll """ district, the character. The more, then, we can divicdvie_..__ve to carry, smaller the streams of sewage the drains w ll h li e ' ri there are and the less the danger from sudden floods o by. Hence the several channels for the vi aters to run w n e wished to stop principle of intercepting drainsze. t. -. • t h e central gully, two the run of water from our roofs Ileire or less diagonally along or three smaller gutters place•- erv m . ,. t h e water flowing down their sides would arrest at i . n t t whio l h fell ou the different their slopes, and convey that other, in sepal ate streams to areas, thus isolated from i e po , Ti into the streets. On the like the head of the "d o d w ri l t ' age of the metropolis consists of p rinciple the mait :s at various levels, so that instead of one whole region,', there are no less than intercepting great drain fsewers; or, rather, there are two distinct 8;:e the six chief lines o r three main lines each • one drainage . , system drain ing all the di s tricts north of the Thames, th e other all those o n the go nth ogle of the river.—Popu/a/' Science Review.

SEVERAL PERSONS SERIOUSLY BURNED. This (Thursday) forenoon the inhabitants of the Horse. ferry-road were thrown into a state of the most painful e tt. citement owing to a loud and rumbling noise proceedireg from the immense pile of premises known as the Chartered Gas Works, situate in the before-named thoroughfare. J an instant hundreds of the inhabitants rushed out of their houses in Marsham-street, the main road, and also ire Medway-street, the houses in each street being in such proximity to the factory that the residents were appre - hensive that their habitations would be blown down, as it was imagined that some of the immens e gas-holders, which tower high above the surrounding dwellings, would blow up. Fortunately such did no t occur, but the circumstances attending the affair are of a most lamentable nature, and it is feared that the injurit s received by some of the workmen employed by the co:ae pan), will disable them from resuming their employment for a considerable time, and in two or three cares it is expects d that they cannot recover from the burns they have received. On inquiry made at the works it was with great diii l enity that any information as to the cause of the disaster could be obtained, but one of the men employed on thho works stated that whilst the work people were engaged putting down a new pipe in the yard, or repairing it, a large plug suddenly flew out and allowed the gas to rush out in immense volumes, to the extent of several thousand cub io feet per second, In the space of a minute or so great number of the men became encircled in fire , their clothing becoming ignited, and the flames attackin g their arms and faces with full vigour. Several men rug": to the works and turned off the gas, and the poor felltioßas. were extricated, and the fire about their clothes was guished. Mr. Pearce, surgeon, and other gentsmecheal w Bo men, attended, but eight or nine of the poor fellows w °`°' to frightfully burned that they were obliged to the Westminster Hospital, where everything: se, but they them that humanity or surgical skill could d e : the pipe hect still remain in a precarious state.
