CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a fair demand for money in the general discount market to-day, but discounters continue are only to evince great caut i on in all the i r operat i o n s , and willing to negotiate three months' bills at 6 per cent. for their special customers. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been to the extent of £796,900, while the exports have reached £1,118,600. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was a further upward movement in the rates ou nearly all the principal continental cities except St. Petersburg, which were considerably lower, °wing to the unfavourable advices respecting finan cial affairs there. The list of applications for shares in the Aus tralian Mortgage Laud and Finance Company will be closed for London, on Friday, the 23th instant, and for the country on Saturday, the 21st inst. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.'s agents in Venezuela advise that they have received for 55 per cent. of the import duties for one week, from the custom-house: of La Guayra 31,999 dols. Bc., and Puerto Cabello 1,146 dols. 6c., making a t o t a l o f 33,140 dols. 94c. At the departure of the mail they were settling with the custom-house at La Guayra for another week, but the statement was not in time to be forwarded by this packet. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received by this mail, on account of the New Grenada dividends, from the custom-house of Buenaventura, £634. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Rentes were 67f. 25c.—Heavy. There is not much animation in the English Funds today, the speculative operations being con. ducted on a very limited scale, and the increased value of money prevents the possibility of any large investments. Consols are the same as at the close of business yesterday afternoon—viz., 92,1 for money, and 91-1 -I, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes are 90! / ; the Reduced, 90f,-; India 5 per Cents., 108/ b ; ditto Enfaced, 105/ ; ditto Debentures, 991 ; and Exchequer Bills 4s. dis. In the Market for Foreign Securities there is a decidedly heavy tone, and business is very much curtailed. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 ; do., 1862, 701 71 ; do., Consolides have receded to 47i 481 ; Mexican, to 38/ 398 ; Spanish Passive, to 331 34 ; do., Certificates, to 124 13 ; but Greek are rather firmer at 30a ; while the Coupons are heavy at 141 ; Portuguese, 1862, have declined to 48; 49 i; do., New Scrip, to 11 4 prem. ; Italian, to 71i ; and the Confederate Loan is 60 62. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been of a rather limited description. The dealers and speculators are occupied with the arrangements for the half monthly settlement. Great Eastern, Great Western, South Western and Midland have declined 55., and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s., While Lancashire and Yorkshire have advanced 10s, The Foreign and Colonial Lines have been ne glected, and exhibit no change as regards prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares also continue in very limited request. Consolidated Bank have re ceded to 9/, and Union of London to 394, Discount C orporation are flat at 101 and International F inancial at 8/ 9.

A friend of mine, says a correspondent of the Queen, had an interview with his Holiness lately, and de scribed him as most affable and good. humoured. IT IS RELATED OF GEORGE 111. that, on one occa sion, when he was attending Divine service at one of the Royal chapels, the officiating chaplain (a well-known poli tical person of the time) delivered a sermon, in which he w ar mly eulogised the characte r o f th e Ki ng.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) EVERY V. EVERY. • --- - This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for dissolution of marrriage on the ground of cruelty, desertion and adultery. The petitioner, Sophia Every, said she married the respondent in 1851 at St.:George's Church, Camberwell ; it was a runaway match. After the marriage they lived very comfortably in the Albany-road, and several other places, but in a short time the respondent's conduct alto gether altered. He used to insist on her giving him all the money she had got, and when she had none to give him, he used to insist on her going to her father, who kept a coffee-house, and borrowing some from him. For peace and quietness she did so on several occasions, but when she refused to go any more he turned her out of doors. The father eventually discovered the conduct of the respondent, and refused to give the petitioner any -further assistance in the shape of money, but willingly allowed her to return home in order to escape the illtreatment and outrageous conduct of the respondent. Mrs. Every shortly after her residence with her father acted as waitress in the shop, and there the respondent was enabled to see her very frequently. The result of the meetings was that he persuaded her to return to him, he promising to do everything in his power to make amends for Lis past bad conduct. In a short time, however, the old course of illtreatment commenced and after all her savings had been expended he said, he was determined to have more money out of her, and he did not care how she got it. While she was living at her father's she had saved sufficient to purchase a gold watch and chain, but this the respondent soon turned to account, the money raised upon the articles being spent in dissipa tion. She was again compelled to leave him and return to her father's house. While she had been residing with her husband after her last return she had, unfortunately for herself, told him that she had some further savings, to the amount of nearly £5O, in the hands of her father, and immediately an opportunity presented itself he made a de mand upon the father for the property of his wife. The father refused to give up the money, especially as his daugh ter stood in need of it, having but a short time recovered from her confinement. The respondent, however, issued a writ against her father fur the recovery of the money, and having obtained it, he engaged some lodgings in Islington, and there introduced and resided with another female as Mrs. Every. Three witnes ses, named Phail, Carter, and Clark, gave evidence which clearly proved the adultery. The JuJge Ordinary said the case had been satisfactorily made out, and decreed a rule nisi with costs against the respondent. SHILLITOE V. SHILLITOE. This was a petition, presented by the wife, praying for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of cruelty, adultery, and desertion, The parties resided at Wakefield, in Yorkshire, and were married in 18b9. Cohabitation continued for about a year, when the re. on i 3nt began to treat his wife with great in humanity. trlt mat el yhe left her entirely destitute, and it was shortly atter discovered that he was living in adultery with another woman. The Court granted a rule nisi. The remainder of the causes on the list for to-day were either struck out or placed at the bottom of the list, as the patties engaged for the suitors were not in attendance. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE LAW AS TO MARRIED IVOMEN-NOVEL POINT-EITR- KITT V. FORSTER. This was an action to recover VS for some furniture. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Butler Rigby, instructed by Mr. Beard, representing defendant, who lad paid £7 19s. into court. _ . _ It appeared that the parties had been very friendly, and that defendant and his wife formerly lodged at the Vine Inn, Tooley-street, which was kept by Mrs. Moxen, who has since become plaintiff's wife. Mrs. Burkitt deposed to having sold the furniture at an agreed price, but Mr. Forster denied it, and generally con tradicted both plaintiff and his wife. Mr. Butler Rigby referred to a quantity of delapidated articles on the front of the seat, as a fair sample of the bulk, but Mr. Buchanan urged the court to remember that they had been in use a long time. Defendant—They never were used. His Honour—l fancy that the wife ought to be joined in this action. The goods were sold before her marriage. Mr. Rigby—it appears to me that plaintiff cannot sue alone. His Honour found by the rules that h 9 could join the wife and did so, adding that as there was a general contra diction he must look to probabilities. The whole matter would be referred to the court broker, who could put a value on the goods. Mr. Buchanan—That will hardly be fair to my client at this lapse of time. His Honour—Allowances will of course be made. Referred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. The Civil Service. FOREIGN• OFFICE.—The Hn. F.

M, Nadar's Geant Balloon at the Crystal Palace. Captious critics often complain that the Crystal Palace has not fulfilled the high se3thetic purposes for which its original promoters appealed to public support. It is useless to discuss the reasons for this —perhaps the public, which showed no taste for the doses of artistic or scientific edification tendered in its hours of pleasure, is chiefly to blame ; but, at any rate, the new managers deserve the credit of having thoroughly accepted the lower role forced upon them by commercial considerations, and of carrying it out with indefatigable zeal and enter prise. Not to mention the innumerable series of concerts, flower-shows, fancy fairs, and f ees of all descriptions which enliven every month of the year, it is to the Crystal Palace that we have all learnt to look for our first introduction to any of those ex traordinary " sensation" attractions,which rehearsed drat, as it were, before some distant Continental or Transatlantic audience, attain at Sydenham their zenith of fame and reward. It was in the transcen dent heights of the central transept that Blondin first displayed to English eyes that wondrous nerve and skill which had given an additional attraction to Niagara ; and though M. Leotard was not new to English audiences when he first appeared at the Crystal Palace, it was there that they had the best opportunity of admiring the grace and power with which he winged his daring flights. The memory of season-ticket holders will supply many other instance of the assiduity shown in mini stering to their amusement. The latest novelty is the Geant balloon, with which M. Nadar and eight companions, at the end of last month, per formed their perilous voyage from Paris to Nien burg, and which all but carried the passengers to death's door. This Leviathan of the water now floats, fully inflated with atmospheric air, in the centre transept, nearly filling the southern end ; and over and above the interest it excites from the dangers through which it has passed, its enormous yet graceful proportions will attract general admi ration. The novel car, which is, in fact, a small cottage in wicker-work--such as Robinson Crusoe would have counted almost a palace, is suspended from it, and round it are ranged the anchors, buffers, hoops, axes, and all the various rigging with which aeronauts provide themselves for the navigation of the heavens. The Goant is by far the largest balloon ever yet made. Its entire height, including the " compensator"—a small balloon under the large one, containing a reserve of condensed gas—and the car, is close upon 200 feet, and when fully inflated it will contain 215,363 cubic feet of gas. By way of comparison, it may be remembered that the great Nassau balloon, in which Mr. Green made his famous voyage from Vauxhall to Weiburg, in Nassau, in 1836, only held 88,000 cubic feet. For greater security it has two skins, both of white silk —the outer coloured a yellowish white—of the finest quality, and of which more than 20,000 yards were consumed in the manufacture. All the gores are en tirely hand-sewn, and the w o rk o c cupied 300 men and women for more than a mon th. M. N a d ar t e lls us that the towers of Notre Dame would only overtop it by about 45 feet; but perhaps we shall give the best idea of its magnitude to English readers by saying that it could not be got into one of Captain Fowke's great domes. It seems here almost to knock its head against the high roof of the centre transept, and, looking at its vast balk, one can imagine the mingled terror and wonder which seized the Hanoverian peasants when they saw the giant monster tearing through the air at the rate of 60 miles an hour, dashing down every thing before it, and apparently hurling its living freight away to certain destruction. It is easy to understand, too, how hard it must be to control the enormous body of gas so as to manage a safe descent, and novices in aeronautics may be permitted to doubt whether, until the valve machinery is im proved, safe voyages can be performed by balloons of such a size. M. Nadar himself attributes the unfortunate issue of his last trip more to the defi ciencies of the valves, which did not permit the gas to escape with sufficient rapidity, than to the failure of the anchors. The Geant is calculated to lift 41 tons, but the utmost it has actually done is to raise 35 soldiers, who were crammed into the recesses of the car on the day of th e last ascent from the eectcaorf interest, and it will, probably, be Champandye a M e a h r e . f o T b h i cer tainlywith is a great curiosity in its way. In its out side appearance it is not unlike, o n a small scale, one of the caravans to be met with at the outskirts of country fairs or by the side of a gipsy en campment ; and its interior may remind many of those singular sojourning places which shippers facetiously advertise as commodious saloon cabins. It i s about 15ft. long by 12ft. wid e , an d i s parti tioned off into a captain's cabin, with sleeping berth, four small cabins with berth, washing room, and printing and photographic operating rooms. It is fitted with wheels on moveable axles, so that there m ay be no difficulty in the return, supposing a descent to be Effected far from ordinary means of transport. There are windows and doors on each side, but after all there does not seem much room for nine people to turn in comfortably ; and the sen sation must have been something like being slang up to the top of one of Pickford's warehouses in a good-sized wine hamper. For those who prefer the open air there is the roof, with which a strong high bulwark running round makes a kind of airy terrace or quarter-deck. It was here that the whole party was huddled together in the last half-hour of their perilous journey, in which they were whirled more than 20 miles, clinging for dear life to the cordage, bumped violently against the ground every two or three minutes, and expecting at every bound to be crushed to death. Our readers have no doubt perused with interest the vivid account of this perilous flight which we extracted from the foreign journals at the time, and M. Nadar, though still smarting, grows quite enthusiastic in relating their hair-breadth escapes. " Apres tout c' Raft beau," he cries, as a soldier might sum up the compressed excitement of half an hour' hard fight. The balloon itself, though it frequently beat the earth with its head, does not show many signs of its wild career, beyond the rent which was made by the axe of the courageous Godard, and one or two others which it received in tearing through a forest. The car, which is strongly built of ash, rattans, and osiers, with internal stays of inflated india-rubber, is more seriously injured, and the side which was dragged so long along the ground, hanged against trees, and finally burst through the telegraph wires, bears evident marks of its ill treatment. M. Nadar has accompanied the balloon to this country, but does not contemplate making any ascent with it here, at least for the present. In fact, he is still hardly able to move from the effects of his acci dent ; and, moreover, before trying another voyage it will be necessary to make some improvements in the machinery of the balloon, particularly in the valves. An adventure like the last would not termi nate so harmlessly in a thickly populated country like England, as in the sandy plains of Hanover. Like our own Mr. Coxwell , Mr. Nadar presents himself to us as something more than a mere aerona ut de spectacle, whose only ambition is to m inister to the amusement of the multitude : In a different way he aspires to turn his b a ll o oning ex perience to Acientiflo uses. He seems to look for ward to a time when the air, like the sea, will be the highway of natio ns ; when the heave ns will be nd will be filled with the comme rce of nations, a b u ild iron -plated balloons as if so minded, men may they are now building 'ran-plated frigat e s. In a is on the high road M. Nader believes that he word, to the solution of that p r oblem which has baffled ingenious contrivers o f all ages, from Daedalus d ow nwards, and that ho can give to man the same mas t er y over the air as he obt ained ove r the sea. Of balloons, pure and simple, strange to say, M. Nadar has no great opinion. It is by an adaptation of the powers of the screw......a, the holy screw" as a French saran calls it—that he confidently reckons on carrying into practice his theory of aerial autolocomotion. The balloon is only the prologue to a more perfect flying machine which will be completely under man's control, and which will spring upwards,— 4, Into the wild expanse, and through the shock 44 Of fighting elements, on all sides round 4 4 Environed, win its way." The balloon he calls a mere toy—hle certainly is on a Gargantuan scale—and it is simply for the pur pose of raising funds to carry out his experiments that he has built and is exhibiting the G6ant. Not being competent to speak of M. Nadar's scientific acquirements, we can do no more than wish him better success in this important investigation than has attended his prede.cest?ors; but cool daring and undaunted perseverance are always honoured here, and of these qualities M. Nadar has shown sufficient proofs to entitle him to a hearty welcome in this country.—Times. The Sanson of the Reign of Terror. - ~- Before arriving at this eminence, he passed through a variety of strange experiences. He and his father, Jean Baptiste, beheaded the famous Lally De Tollendal. M. Sanson works up the story of the execution into a romance. Laily, when a young man, he says, happened with a party of friends to lose his way, and was taken in by Jean Baptiste Sanson, who that night gave his marriage supper. After the bail, having learnt his host's name, Lally asked to see the tools of his trade, and had his fancy greatly taken by a particular sword with which Sanson promised, in case of need, to behead him. Thirty-five years afterwards he was beheaded accordingly. The old man came with the intention of merely looking on, but the young Chas. Henry having made a false stroke which inflicted only a wound, the old man seized the sword and cut off Lally's head himself. The present M. Sanson says that his grandfather told him this story. There is a difficulty in point of dates about it which makes the whole matter 'suspicious. Jean Baptiste San son, we are told, was seven years old when his father died in 1726. He was, therefore, born in 1719. , But Lally was b e h eaded in 1766, and i f anson s • marriage took place thirty-five years before—namely, in 1731 --he must have been mar ried at the early age of 12, This makes a consider able hole in the fidelity of M. Sanson's traditions. Soon after executing Lally, enry Sanso n had to execute the Chevalier De la Barre, who was supposed to have been guilty of profanity at Abbe ville. A crucifix had been disfigured, and as it was proved that De :a Barre had on another occasion passed a procession without taking off his hat, he appears to have been made responsible. He showed wonderful courage at his execution, refusing even to kneel down, and Sanson, to make up for his mistake in the case of Lally, cut off his head so neatly that it did not fall for the first moment. The execution of La Barre was one of the last of the old aristo cratic executions. Several others which took place before the French Revolution are referred to by M. Sanson, but they are not interesting except for their horror, and the history of the crimes which led to them is thrown into a quasi-romantic shape. He gives a long account, for instance, of the last occasion on which the punishment of the wheel was employed. A young man who had killed his father —as he said by accident, as the Court foand by design—was sentenced to undergo this punishment at Versailles in 1788. The mob rescued him, and burnt the wheel and the scaffold on the spot. One of their number is represented as observing very appropriately to Sanson, " Laissons l'enfer au bon Dieu." The wonder is how so hideous a spectacle was ever permitted. The description of it makes the blood run cold. The criminal's arms and legs were smashed in eight places with an iron bar, he re ceived a ninth blow over the chest, and was then laid over a wheel placed horizontally on the scaffold till he died. This punishment was horribly common. It was, for some strange reason, the favourite punishment of the Parliament of Paris, and when they decided on appeals from inferior jurisdictions, the common result, if we are to believe M. Sanson, was the substitution of the wheel for the gallows. • Such, up to the time of the Revolution, were the official duties of the Parisian executioners. Their descendant gives a singular picture of their private life. Jean Baptiste Sanson was very fond of anatomy, and had a great practice amongst both rich and poor, of whom, as his grandson observes, the first paid him very handsomely, whilst the others received advice gratis. He was a very busy man. There was a good deal of correspon dence about provincial executions, and, as ho was at the head of his profession, all the young coun try executioners used to come to his house as pupils before entering on their own professional careers. The executioners formed a kind of clan; for obvious reasons they intermarried almost exclu sively amongst each other. Jean Baptiste had a large family, and his sons became executioners in every part of France. They used to come home at Christmas, and in order to avoid the difficulties which arose from the variety of Christian names, the servants (who were assistant executioners) spoke of them as M. de Strasbourg, M. d'Orleans, Sec., the head of the family or caste being " M. de Paris." Jean Baptiste Sanson was a good deal reduced from the splendour of his ancestors in the matter of money. His ancientdrieit de haree was commuted for 16,000 livres a year, very irregularly paid. At one time he received from the Regent 50,000 livres in Law's notes. These were the greenbacks of the period. "I have them still," says M. Sanson, "in the pocket-book where they were put at the end of the audience." M. Sanson's own recollections of the vestiges of the old regime in which he and his ancestors played so singular a part are exceedingly curious: He recollects an old man, called Ches neau, who gave him a gun in 1803, and who was then a sort of pensioner at large in the family house of 111. de Paris. This old man had been a servant of the Comte de Charolais, who laboured (falsely according to M. Sanson) under the imputation of having shot a tiler to Image himself, and of having been pardoned by Louis XV., with the pleasing observation that a pardon was ready for any one who liked to assassinate the C mt omte de Charolahe is. From the servi ce of the Coe de Charolais, passed successively into those of Louis XV. and Louis XVI., whom he served as a gunmaker. In the course of his career, Sanson cured him of a wound caused by the bursting of a gun ; and when his last master was turned out of house and home by the Revolution, M. Chesneau betook himself to his old friend the executioner. By way of paying for his board, he made him all sorts of handsome arms, and at last took to grinding the knife of the guillotine, and setting its grooves to rights. He thought the least he could do for his old friends was to have their heads cut off promptly and smoothly. " ruez-les," he said to the servants, puisqu'on vows y force, mais ne les massacrez pas." The luxurious and patriarchal position of the o' .d executioners passed away, like other picturesque but cumbrous institutions, after the Revolution; but, for about two years, the Sanso n family were ere put into such a p osition as no people ever occupied s before in a civi lised coun t r y. Cherie H San son kept a journal during the Reign of T error , o f Henry w hich his grandson, who well remembers re published the greater part. 'Therehim, has r is s sv a i e.

Way Eerier°. THE TRIPLE MURDER IN A CAB. CORONERS' INQUEST CONTINUED. Yesterday morning, Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Rose and Thistle Tavern, Warner road, Camberwell, on the body of Samuel William Hunt, the husband and father of the female and two children who were found dead in a cab, under the terrible circumstances already so generally known. Mr. Hubert Wood, solicitor, attended to watch the pro ceedings on the part of the relations of the deceased, and Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, was present by direction of the Commissioners of Police. Mr. Charles M'Culloch said the deceased was in my ser vice. His name was Samuel William Hunt. He had been in our service about three years as traveller, and when at home, assistant in the shop. I last saw him alive last Mon day. He was then in the shop attending to business. lie remained till half-past seven. I did not notice anything out of his usual manner, which was reserved and morose, but to tne he was always very respectful. I have com plained to hint about, incivility to customers, and he made no reply, but seemed to regret he had done anything to dis please any person. I never gave him any oeder to procure the aconite. I had received au order for oil of rosemary and oil of juniper, and it was given to the deceased. Tee direction given him was a written one, but I know nothing about the aconite or oil of almond:l, The rosemary and juniper was sent to the place its directed, but nothing fur ther had been heard of the aconite and almonds, neither had been discovered. George Goold, of 5, Ann 's - place, Camb erwell cabman, said he was on the rank at the corne r o f the New -road on Saturday evening, when a femal e an d two children hired him to drive them to the Eastern Counties R a i lway. After he had driven a short d i s tance a gentleman hailed bi m from the path, and said he wanted to g o to t he Eastern C ounties Rilnaknewar as the th ecorner lady, of Wo rs hi p -street, and it w as all right. V by the direction of the man he pulled up at a chemists When he had He s driven aid he as f shop, when the woman got out, and went into t h e shop. After remaining there a short time, she re-entered th e cab, platform, but to set there and told him not to drive up to the down before they came to the entrance. He did 80 • The man paid the fare, and he then drove home. The oman and deceased man is the person who hailed me after the w chil dren had first hired me. He was positive about the mat ter. He had quite sufficient opportunity to see his features. He had no doubt about the matter at all. The.only luggage was a small parcel carried by the rai,woman. It was about 7 o'clock when they arrived at the ay station. He saw Hunt at the station house, and then w ho said he was quite certain it was the same person as paid him his fare at the Eastern Counties Railway station. On that occasion he wore a moustache, but it had since been shaved off. He gave his information to the police imme diately atter reading the particulars published in the papers on Monday evening. William Parker, the cabman, who was engaged to drive the deceased parties to the Royal Oak, Paddington, and who gave his evidence at the inquest held before Dr. Lan kester on Monday last,was then examined, and repeated his statement with respect to the parties inside his cab taking some beer at a publie• house in Bishopsgate-street. He said he was certain it was the man. who held the pot upside down after the beer was drank, as he saw his hand and coat sleeve eat of the cab window. When the man got out of the cab he did so as quick as it was possible to do, and closing the door after him he paid 4s. for the fare, and told him to drive them safe to the Royal Oak, saying they would be all right by the time they got there. He never heard the slightest noise in the cab. He identified the deceased as the man who hired him to drive from Bishopsgate street to Bayswater, on Saturday, and who gut out of the cab at Furnival's-inn. Mr. Currey, surgeon, at St. Mary's Hospital, said ho had made a post morteta examination of the three bodies, and upon that he had come to the conclusion that the woman and the two children died from the effects of either prussic acid or cyanide of potassium. Cyrus Fay, a chemist, of 18, Norton-folgate, said—On Saturday evening a woman came to my shop and asked for two draughts for a gentleman who had taken a littlo too much to drink. She wished them flavoured with china.. mon and cardamons. I made up two draughts of bicordono of potash, sal volatile, compound tincture of cardamons and cinnamon water, for which she paid me. She also bought a medicine glass, but before paying for it she asked me if I would allow her to tike it to the cab to ask the gen.. tleman whether it would do. She returned, saying it would not answer, and she then purchased a small tumbler in a, case called a medi3ine glass. lam certain there was nothing else in the mixture I sold the female but what X have stated. William Imrie, hairdresser, 420, Strand, said last Wed. nesday or Thursday a gentleman came into my shop and said he wanted to purchase a moustache. I sold hint a frizzy one, and fastened it on his upper lip. He asked me if it looked natural, and I told him it did, and he left the shop with it on. It altered his appearance very much. I had a good opportunity of looking at his features. I have seen the deceased, and I am positive he is that person. The Coroner said that was all the evidence which would be laid before them. There did not appear to be any doubt as to the deceased being the destroyer of his life, and the question for them to decide was whether he committed the deed whilst labouring under insanity, or whether he adopted that course in order to escape the ignominy of being pub. hely executed. The room was then cleared, and on the admission of the public, The Coroner said the jury found averdict of fele de se, and he accordingly issued his warrant for the burial of the self. murderer to-night, between the hours of 9 and 12. The inquiry then terminated. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GENTLEMAN FINED FOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE. —George Williams, gentleman, of 21, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Yardley with assaulting Thos. Suther land, 179 C. The constable said that about 12 o'clock last night he was called to Lane's Hotel, No. 1, Sr. Alban's-place, where he found the defendant, under the influence of drink, in the passage. The landlord said the defendant had no business there, and persuaded him to leave, but he refused, and he (the constable) then put his hand on the defendant's arm, when he gave him a blow in the mouth, and ho then took him into custody. Defendant said ho had too much to drink, and did not know what he was about, Mr. Yardley ordered the defendant to pay a fine of £3, or a month's imprisonment in default. The defendant at once paid the fine. EVES MINSTER. JUVENILE THIEVES.—Three boys of the names of Townsend, Skelton, and Connor, were charged before Mr. Selfe with committing robberies at the shop of Mr. Trigg, Hudson-street, and of Mr. Watson, Brompton•road, boot and shoemaker. The evidence went to show that last night the prisoners Townsend and Skelton were seen at the shop of Mr. Trigg. when one of them was observed to go up to some boots which were Upon a line outside the shop, and with a knife cut the string by which the boots were hanging. He gave them to his fellow prisoner, after which they decamped. Inspector Rowly said that there was another charge against the prisoner, who, in conjunction with the other prisoners, stole a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Watson. Evidence was then given against the prisoners, which evidence was to a similar effect (in this case there were two pairs of boots stolen). Mr. Selfe asked if the prisoners were known ?

Yesterday evening she was very drunk and disorderly in Poplar, and was frequently re quested by the police to go home, which she refused to do. Her child begged of her to come home, and she knocked down the little creature.

Mountford said on the second occasion the string was fastened so tightly that he could not sever it with a knife without slightly cutting her neck. Tho prisoner—Yes, you cut my throat. What is the use of living ? A police sergeant, No. 32 K, said the prisoner was once brought to the Bow station charged with being drunk and disorderly, and was so devoid of shame that she stripped herself and tore up her clothes. Mr. Partridge—l shall sentence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for assaulting the child. She is not fit to have the charge of it. She has given herself over to drink, and when intoxicated is like a mad woman. She will have the advice of the chaplain of the gaol, and I hope will repent of her folly and her wicked ness.

Charles Kingsley in his fantastic book all about Water - babies—All the little children whom the go od fairies take to, because their cruel mothers and fathers will not; all who are untaught and brought up heathens, and all who come to grief by ill-usage or ignorance or neglect; all the little children who are overlaid, or given gin when they are young, or are let to drink out of hot kettles, or to fall into the fire ; all the little children in alleys and courts, and tumble-down cottages, who die by fever, and cholera, and measles, and scarlatina, and nasty complaints which no one has any business to have, and which no one will have some day, when folks have common sense; and all the little children who have been killed by cruel masters, and wicked soldiers; they were all there, except, of course, the babes of Bethlehem who were killed by wicked King Herod; for they were taken straight to heaven long ago, as everybody knows, and we call them the holy Innocents. Mr. James Ellis has added a new ballot divertise ment to his other attractions at the Criterion Hall of Amusement, Leicester-square, the scenery and appoint ments of which are of the most magnificent description, aided by an efficient and superior corps de ballot, appro priate music, and very costly dresses. The hall is nightly crowded, and the approbation evinced by the visitors is of a nature highly flattering to the proprietor, who has spared neither pains or expence to render it equal to any other place of entertainment in the metropolis.

There was something awfully beautiful and solemnly prophetic of the issue of the day in the murmured vow, " not loud but deep," that run along the line, " We'll do it, General." They greeted him with the waving of their huts in the air, and when, shortly after, they were ordered to advance, they did so with the wild shouts and impetuosity characteristic of Southern blood ; and the Yankees of Rosencranz' army will long remember and as long lament the day they first met Hood's division on the gory banks of the Chickamauga.
