3ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Business in discount circles is still reported active, with undi m i n i s h e d fi rmness i n the quota tions, the supplies of money in the hands of the dealers being comparatively moderate. About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are again of a satisfactory charac ter. At Manchester there has been a fair amount of business in cloths and yarns, at previous prices. In tho woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield, the principal inquiry has been for autumn and winter fabrics, which have changed hands to some extent. Business in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham continued active, and th ere h as been a more cheerful tone in the hardware districts—viz., at Birmingham, Shef field, and Wolverhampton. Two O'CLOCK, At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter'a telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69 1. 20e. for account. Very few operations have taken place to-day in the market for Consols, which, however, are a little firmer at 93,, ;for money, and 93y 94 for the October account. There is not the slightest feature of novelty in this department of the House, nor does there appear to be the least prospect of business, notwithstanding the speculative activity of the foreign market. Transactions have taken place in the New Threes at 924 K, and the Reduced Annuities 924 1; India 5 per Cents., 108! ; and Exchequer Bills, par to 28. prem. The most important features in the Foreign Market to-day is the decline in the Confederate Loan, upon the information by the China, and the rise in Mexican, owing to numerous purchases; the former, which has been 35 to 33 dis., is now 31 to 29 discount, or 3 per cent. lower than on Friday, and the latter has advanced 11, viz., to 421. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 70; ditto, 1862, 711; ditto, C,,nsolides, 531 ; Greek, 377 ; N ; ditto Coupons, 181 ; Italian, 734- ; Spanish Passive, 34 4 33 ; and ditto Certificates. 131. In the Railway Share Market business has been rather inactive, and few changes of importance can be reported in prices. Great Western and Metro• P °l itan, however, have each improved about 10s., While North-Eastern (Berwick) have declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main tain previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continued inac tive. City Bank, however, improved to 1021; Bank of Australasia to 77-1, ; while London and West- Minster declined to 781. Crystal Palace stock re mains steady at 391; General Credit and Finance is marked 4d ; Egyptian Trading Company, 31 t-; 'Judson's Bay Company, 9,-1 -1; and International Financial, 10,1 I.

Baker and Co., of Watling-street, and elsewhere. He, Mr. Haydon, therefore asked that the petition might be dis missed. The bankrupt said he was a partner in the firm of Baker and Co. Mr. Haydon asked whether it was necessary now to go into any further charges in opposition ? His Honour said the petition could not be proceeded in ar it stood. The bankrupt asked to be allowed to amend. His Honour said that the bankrupt might amend and give fresh notice of application. Hr. Haydon—With costs, your Honour ?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE SAILOR AND THE SHAH DETECTIVE:—SINGULID. CASE.—John Stuart, of 16, West-street, St. James's, a dis charged constable of the metropolitan police force, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with demanding to see the pass of leave of Thomas Cumming, an able-bodied seaman of her Majesty's naval barracks, Sheerness. The complainant, a good specimen of an English sailor, said, a little after 12 on Saturday night, I was having sup per at a fish shop in Crown-street, when the prisoner said I was a deserter from the royal navy, and wanted to take me into custody, at the same time stating that he was a de tective, The prisoner said he would wait till I had eaten my supper, and then take me. I told the prisoner to be off, or he would get into tfouble, and asked the prisoner for his warrant ticket if he was a detective. The prisoner then asked to see my leave pass, and I told him that as he had refused to let me see his ticker, I would non let him sec my pass. I then spoke to a constable, and asked him if he knew the p r i son er as a d e tective, and he said h e did no t , and I th en gave th e pr i soner into custody. • Mr. Ty rw hitt—Y ou h a d a pass, and declined to s h ow it to a person of the prisoner's description. Complainant —That was it, sir; I felt insulted. Mr. Ty rw hi tt —H ave you any w it ne sses? C omplainant —I had two civilian-rigged, but I don't see them here now. Jacobs, 182 C, said—l saw a crowd of persons assembled, and an altercation between the sailor and the prisoner—the prisoner accusing the sailor of being a deserter. On asking the prisoner what business he had to take the sailor into Cust ody, he said that he was a constable of the Essex con stabulary; but knowing he had been in the police, and dis charged, I took him into custody- Prison er —I heard some O ne say the pr i sone r was a de serter from th e Fi sgar d , so I t h ought I wou ld keep my eye on him t il l a constable came. It is a rule o f th e N av y for th e men to wear the ribbon on the cap to ind i ca t e w h at ship they belong to , an d I as k e d th e pr i son er for his. Ido hold an to it to- morrow. The sailor u se d b a d language, and I thought I a ppointment in the Preston police, and am g oin g the poli ce. Mr, T ~ was doing a public duty. I was dismissed from ; Yrwmtt—And y ou are go i ng t o a nother force ? Prison e r --Yes they know it. I was ac ting on public ground s . Mr. Ty rwhitt—l think quite differently. You are a dnandghearous an d meddlesome fellow. You were dismissed , a much the wo rse for that force.

Mr. Woolrych Was on the bench at half-past ten this morning, and, after hearing numerous applications, pro had been on duty all ni g h t and Were in charge of ceeded with the night c h arges. The police constables who prisoners were released about an h our earlier than usual, and will obtain an hour's extra sh een. It is to be hoped the magis trates will commence th e b usiness in future at the act of Parliament hour of ten, and imitate the conduct of the Judges, who invariablycommence business at that hour in nation of the bar and the p u bl io at large if they commenced the morning, and would bring upon th em selves the indig at any later period. The magistrate's at Bow-street and Worship-street are on th e bench in their re spective courts at ten o' c l ock every morning, and there is no reason why Mr. W oolrych and Mr. Part ridge should not follow suit, and prevent the delays, incon venience, and partial failure of j ustice, occasioned by late sittings. Patrick M‘Govan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting George Martin, a mounted policeman, on Saturday night. The complainant was riding on horseback, in the per formance of his duty, in Bow, on Satu r d ay at m id n i g ht, just after the houses were closed, and encountered a l ot o f drank and disorderly rnffians, who had just left the public houses and beer-shops full of drink an d m i sc hi e f. They were creating a disturbance, some were fight ing, and others were shouting, hallooing, 1 and swear ing. Martin then requested them to go to their homes and be quiet, and on their refusal attempted to dis perse them, in which he was assisted by Louth, a di smoun t e d police-constable, and a plain clothes man. The prisoner, who was the most noisy and savage, struck one of the con • stables on foot, and then threw throe large stones at the mounted constable. Two of them struck his new helmet, and with such force as to put him to great pain and incon venience. The third stone missed him. The prisoner was immediately secured and given into custody. Mr. Woolrych commented in terms of indignation and disgust at the cowardly and infamous conduct of the pri soner, who threw stones in the dark at a public officer in the execution of his duty, and doing that duty in a firm and temperate manner. It was the act of an assassin, a das tardly act. If the head of the mounted constable had not been well protected by a helmet the blows might have pro duccd concuision of the brain and death. lie sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction.

ESCAPE OF A MAN WITH HIS THROAT CUT FROM GUY'S HOSPITAL. —Early on Saturday morning great consternation prevailed at Guy's Hospital and neigh bourhood in consequence of a man named Richard Carpen ter, who lived in Webber-street, Blackfriars-road, and was admitted on Friday with his throat cut, escaping from the above hospital. It appears he was actually strapped down, yet by some means he managed to break loose from the straps, rushed out of the hospital, and got into a cab, the horse of which dashed off, the driver happening to be talking with some companions a little distance from the cab. He was pursued and captured, but not before he had broken the windows of the cab. He was at once carried back to the hospital, but the authorities advised his removal to the workhouse, which was aocordiegly done, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. (Before Mr. Sergeant Gazelee.) Charles Gooch, carman, was indicted with stealing a quantity of wool, the property of his employer. George Freeman said he was delivering foreman at St. Katherine's Dock, and on the 10th of August the prisoner came with one of the vane of Messrs. Seward for a load of wool. The wool was lowered from the warehouse into the cart beneath, and after a number had been so removed he (witness) had his attention called to something going on wrong below. He looked into the cart from above and there he saw the prisoner sitting on one of the bales pulling wool out of another and throwing it over the side of the cart into the yard; a man was picking it up as fast as he could, but when the prisoner saw ho wasbeing watched he desisted. The bag was weighed previous to its leaving the premises of the Dock Company. It was 111 b. deficient when it was delivered to its owner. Archibald 'Wright formally proved the weight of the bale when it left the St. Katherine's D.xk. A clerk from the owners of the property said he was sent to look after the loading of the wool, but he did not arrive until nearly the whole had been. deposited in the cart. When the load was complete the prisoner drove the van off, but he (witness) obsei ved another vehicle following Messrs. Sewards'. He then watched the prisoner as far as the Crooked Billet, Tower-hill, arid saw him give another man who was in the cart a bag. He followed the person who had received the bag towards Rosemary-lane, but he missed him in the intricate Thoroughfares of the neigh bourhood. He (witness) went back to the publichouse where the man who had taken the property had left his cart, and on his return he accused him of taking wool from the prisoner. He boldly denied having done so, and the prisoner said he never gave the man any bag Lt all, The man who had taken the bag when he returned had it hanging over his arm empty. Witness took the bag from him, and on examining it found in one of the corners a portion of some description of wool which had been taken from the bale. The weight of the wool stolen from the bale was about 141 b., and was worth Is, a pound. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner a good charac ter. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The learned Sergeant sentenced him to nine months' im plisonment with hard labour. A Mirage on the North-East Coast of Ireland. (From the Caledonian Xeres 47y.) A friend at Bangor, an ancient town on the County Down side of Belfast Lough, writes to us that a most remarkable mirage occurred there a few days ago. His descriptio❑ of it is brief ;it will, however, interest a number of our scientific friends. He says :• "You will be delighted to learn that I have just made a most decided acquisition of kn'iwledge. I have seen for the first time in my life a mirage. Don't be astonished I In an age like the present, when miracles and all other marvels seem co be discarded, there is room for doubt, but you will not distrust me. 1 was standing with some friends on the highest of Bangor's raised beaches, when in the north-east I saw most distinctly, and for a long time, one of the Glasgow and Bel fast steam vessels steaming away—where ? no longer in the water—actually in the air far above the water I No !pis take about it. I rubbed my eyes again and again, doubting whether they were not deceiving me, but they were faith ful as ever, and I had them amply corroborated by my friends. There, sure enough, was the steamer floating in air, the smooth water in which she was sailing clearly seen, and ourselves, far below, with our feet resting on the beach. The interesting sight was witnessed by us for nearly half an hour, when the insidious haze by which it was occasioned, thickened and dispelled it. The haze was so distinct as to expose to us the whole rig and outline of the steamer, and as we stood on high ground, it was low enough in the water to permit us also to see the steamer for a while along its upper surface. It was a novel and de• lightful sight, the view of which would ha►e made your heart thrill with joy." This is probably the first occasion on which a mirage has been noticed on the north-east coast of Ireland ; at all events, we have no recollection of any such occurrence having been recorded. The Fata Morgana, further north, all have heard or read of and many have seen ; our venerable friend will, therefore, we presume, have the satisfaction of making known his discovery to the Philosophical Society of Belfast, of which he is a member, at an early meeting. MONTALEMBERT AT MALINES.—It is 3 1 ) years since M. de Montalembert first began to preach the doctrine of a free Church in a free State. He has never swerved from it, and has always advocated it as the sole remedy for the aisorders of Europe and the turmoils of Christendom. In practice, he has not, perhaps, always acted up to his theory. But every statesman is at times in consisteat ; and if ever a statesman had an idea to which he clung firmly, and in spite of disappointment and failure, M. de Montalembert has clung to the idea with which his name is now indissolubly associated. It must be owned that his experience cannot have been very sweet to bear. He has not seen much in his days either of a free State or a free Church. The Constitutional Monarchy, under which he first began to speak and write, has been replaced by a system which he employed every resource of a prac tised speaker to paint, at Malines, in the blackest colours. Ho has been reduced to thank heaven that he, a French man, is occasionally permitted to breathe a little of the pure air of liberty in Belgium. Nor can the retrospect of the history of the Church in his days be much more satisfactory to him. He has lived to see the Church prostrate itself at the foot of the man who has, as he thinks, enslaved, de graded, and demoralized France. Personally, he has lived to see the day when, in the hour of danger, and at the crisis of the contest which threatens to affect so powerfully the interests of Catholicism, he—the champion and orator of the Church—has been kept from public life by the influ• ence of a Catholic Bishop. M. de Montalembert under takes to convince the Catholic world that its true policy is to strive for political liberty, and to give up all wish to trust to the secular arm for the prevention of error. He will not have civil liberty without religious, nor religious liberty without civil, He hates the French police, and the servility of modern Ca)saristn; and he also hates the fires of the Inqui sition, and every attempt to put down honest error. Local independence, no Caesars, no police, a honest sovereign people—and, on the other hand, a Church submissively accepting every doctrine and every tittle of every canon, but willing to walk side by aide peaceably and humbly with all manner of heretics, insisting that they shall have fair play, and that the State shall neither help the Church nor its opponents—such is the stuff of which M. de Montalem bert's dreams are made.—Saturday Review. DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, IN MANCHESTER.—The body of a man named Thomas Allcock was found about mid •day, yesterday, under very singular and suspicious circumstances. The deceased was 67 years of age, of very quiet and regular habits. Ho had lived alone for some time, in a cellar in Bank-street, Lees street, Great Ancoats-street, and at the time of his death was receiving relief. Ho was seen for the last time about half-past seven on Saturday evening, standing at his door. About half-past two yesterday afternoon, his sister Ellen Rumber, Dean-street, Ancoats, went to the cellar to see him. The door was partially open. On entering the cellar she found the deceased lying in bed, dead, with five or six circular marks on his forehead, as if the flesh had been pinched out or cut out with a knife. Informa tion was given to the police, and the assistant to Mr. Barlow, surgeon, was called in to examine the body. It was much discoloured about the back and shoulders, but the surgeon was unable to discover the cause of death. There was a little blood in the bed from the wounds on the forehead, but there was none about the room. The furniture, what little there was, was undisturbed, and the clothes did not appear to have been touched. The only articles that could have been used as weapons were a shovel and a mallet, but neither A pp ear to have been used, and no sound of any struggle or cry was Leard in the house above. No motive can bo discovered for the murder, if it be one. The man was known to be very poor, and he has never been seen to quarrel with anyone. A sixpence was found in a cupboard in the wall, and a halfpenny in his dress. He is believed to have been subject to fits, and it is sug gested that he might have died in a fir, and that the pecu liar wounds on the forehead may have been made by rats, with which the place is infested. Up to 12 o'clock last night no further discovery had been made, and it is pro bable that nothing more will be elicited till the inquest, which is to be held this morning.—slianeltester Guardian. T H E NEW BRONZE COINAGE.—The efforts made during the last 18 months or two years to call in the old copper coins and issue their bronze substitutes have, it appears, been successful to a great extent, so far at least as the large towns are concerned. Wo understand that old pence, halfpence, and farthings to the nominal value of atout £400,000 have been returned to the Master of the Mint and replaced. The full amount of old coeP coins in circulation is supposed to have beeton a bout get in £750,000. Vigorous efforts are now being md the residue from villages, hamlets, and theanroere remote districts of the country. The notion that t he old pennies of rim pennies, were the reign of George 111., known as th . e s, more valuable than the ordinary on l e ue , is now little more we are informed, quite erroneous, as the intrinsic value and nothing like the than the nominal or circulatinsbe' quantity of coins can be used by the Mint in the new issue. to the pound.

A MISS BATEMAN, who has obtained some cele• brity as an actress, will shortly appear at the Melphi. MARK-LANE. There was a much better feeling in the trade for English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, and in many instances prices advanced ls. per quarter. Barley was firmer, and malting qualities were held at enhanced rates. Other articles ruled steady in price. Letters from New York represent the trade for wheat and flour as in a very sluggish state, at reduced currencies. On the continent the export demand for produce is much restricted. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week exhibit a further increase. The imports from abroad were 95,836 quarters of wheat, 8,717 barley, 26,801 oats, 5,039 beans, 400 peas, 1,826 tares, 1,825 tares, 8,281 linseed, 6,953 oilseeds, 3 950 maize, 160 sundry seeds, 661 sacks, and 1,357 barrels of flour. A moderate supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's marker, and the quality of the produce was, for the most part, excellent. There were several buyers in attendance from the North, and the de mand ruled active both for red and white qualities. A clearance was readily effected, and the prices realised were from is to 2s per quarter above those current on 3lenday last. The foreign wheat trade did not participate in the im provement to the same extent. However, an increased amount of business was transacted, particularly in Ameri can produce, and in several instances an advance of quite is per quarter took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain commanded more attention, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The recent changeable weather created a firmer trade for malting barley, and a slight advance took place in its value. For grinding and distilling qualities there was a steady de mand, at full quotations. The supply both of English and foreign parcels was very moderate. The malt trade was firm, and prices were well supported. There was a full average supply of oats on offer. Good and fine samples moved off steadily at full prices; but in ferior parcels met a slow sale, at late rates. Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at fill' currencies. Peas ruled firm at quite previous rates. The supply on offer was small. An improved feeling was observed in the flour trade, and prices were rather higher than on Monday last.

The trade ruled firm, on rather higher terms. The beasts came to hand in somewhat improved condition. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts exhibited a telling off, compared with Monday last, and there was a great deficiency in the weight of nearly all breeds. Prime Scots, Devons, and crosses sold freely, at 2d per 81bs. Otherwise the beef trade ruled inactive, but at full prices. The primest stock realised 5s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,700 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of Eng land, 600 of various breeds; from Scotland, 11 Scots ; and from Ireland. 400 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep from all quarters showed a heavy decrease, and most breeds were received in but middling condition. The demand generally was more active, and an advance of quite 2d per Sibs took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. Prime Downs and half-breds readily commanded 5s 4d per Sibs. A few prime lambs ware disposed of at 6s per 8lbs; other wise sales ware effected at about mutton prices. The supply of calves was only moderate, yet the trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change took place, the top qultation being 4s 8d per 81bs. Pigs were in slow request, at last Monday's currency. Per Slb. to sink the offal. - s. d. s. d. S. d, s. d.

In Cruise of the Royal Mail Steamer Wolf, Admiral Dacres and the officers of the Channel Squadron were on Thursday entertained on board this magnificent vessel by the Messrs. Burns, upon whose invitation a dis tinguished company had the pleasure of meeting the naval officers. The Wolf left Greenock at ten o'clock, and steamed down to her Majesty's ship Edgar, the flag ship of the sq•adron, off which she lay to to receive the admiral and his officers, who came off from their various ships in their respective boats. In addition to the admiral, every captain and every commander in the squadron was pre sent, as well as a large representation from the civil and junior officers; and it may be mentioned that the regularity and order with which they embarked in the Wolf from their own gigs and jolly boats presented a pleasing and animating scene. I On the admiral stepping on board the private signals of the Wolf were lowered, and the 11.1 g of a Rear Admiral of the White was run up at the fore; at the same moment the white was substituted for the red ensign at the peak, whilst the band of the 41st Regiment played "Rule Bri tannia" from the main deck of the Wolf. The ship then hied away down channel on her cruise. Keeping close to the south side till she reached Wemyss Bay, she struck across, and after bending into Rothsay Bay, as far as to obtain a view of the ancient burgh and seaport, her course was di rected towards the Kyles of Bute. through which the Wolf passed, affording delight to all, but especially to the nume rous naval and other strangers on board, who often and again expressed their admiration of the beauties of this charming marine route. Emerging from the Kyles, the Wolf steered over to the west coast of Arran, and proceeded sa far as to open the Sound of Kilbrannan, and at this point she turned, sweeping in by Loch Ranza, doubling the Cock of Arran, and then pushing into the open channel. Proceeding upwards at full steam, she reached the Tail of the Bank about half-past 4, and here the admiral and the officers were received, and proceeded on board their own ships by means of their own boats, in the same manner in which they had embarked. The cruise was a singularly pleasing one. Rain occasionally threatened, but rain never fell. The Arran Hills were seen under a shifting light of alternate cloud and sunshine, and the Serrated peaks of the mountains receded from the Eight, and again came into view, as if seen throught the kaleidoscope. In all, between 200 and 330 ladies and gentlemen shared in this gladsome voyage, amongst whom were—Colonel Goodwyn, C.B , and the officers of the 41st Regiment, General M'Dowall and Mrs. M'Dowall, of Garthland, Colonel Bayley, R.E., Major Barber, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, of Blythswood, and party, Mr. and Mrs. Burn- ley, Colonel Campbell, Scots Fusilier Guards; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Graham, Mr. and Mrs. and Misses Crum, Mr. and Mrs. and Misses Hamilton, of Hafton ; Rev, Dr. and Mrs. Foley, the Right Hon. J oseph Napier, Mrs. Napier, and party, Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, Bart., Mr. John Maciver, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw Stewart, Sir Robert Arbuthnot, Bart., Lady A rbuthnot and Miss Arbuthnot, Mr. Trevor, Mr. Edward James, Captain and Mrs. Campbell, of Ardpatrick, Mr. Lamont, of Knockdow ; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Arbuthnot, of Mavisbarak ; the Rev. W. M'Donald, Mr. Buchanan, of Auchentorlie ; Mr. and Mrs. Bosanquet, Captain Algernon Lyons, R.N., Mr. and Lady Charlotte Locker, Mr. and Mrs. Napier, of Merchiston ; Mr. and Mrs. Dennistoun, Miss Dundas, Admiral Sir Rodney Mundy, Lord Blantyre, and the Hun. Misses Stewart, Sir James Stewart, Bart., Mr. Donaldson, 3d Light Dragoons; Mrs. Kirwan and party. On the homeward trip the party sat down to a dejeuner , which was served in the main saloon, and was of the most recherche kind. There were no toasts:of any description, the ladies and gentlemen enjoying themselves with all the absence of formality which marks a genial family party. The Wolf was admitted to be no unworthy represeotativo of the mercantile merino of the country, when she lay alongside of the iron and wooden walls of Old England. The Messrs. Burns, who did everything on board to en hance the pleasure of the party, were, as we have said, singularly fortunate in the weather; and perhaps on no occasion since Lord Palmerston honoured the "Wolf with his company has there been a sight more imposing and animating than that presented when the boats of the squadron came alongside with their respective officers, and when the crews " tossed oars," and gave to the chiefs all the honours of the navy. THE VISITORS TO THE FLEET. Thursday, the weather being very fine, a large number of excursionists visited the fleet. The Black Prince and Warrior received the largest number of visitors. The colos sal proportions of these vessels, their marvellous combina tion of strength and grace, the novel principles upon which they have been constructed, and the tremendous power of their armament, give to them an interest which the wooden walls now fail; to command. To compare the decks of the Black Prince to a bee-hive would give but a faint descrip tion of the animation that prevailed. The spectacle was a striking one, and must have been admired by every one who witnessed it. Large bodies of liberty men were again seen in our streets, all of them behaving in a most exemplary manner. 01 course, Jack on shore considers himself as good as his master, and while many of the officers were being conveyed in cabs to the residence of Provost Grieve to dine, several of the tars a:so got cabs, some of them seating themselves inside—in the '• cabin"—while others got on the seat beside the driver, to see that he "steered" right. Those who dis dained the cabin and got on the upper deck (the top of the cab) occasionally called to the driver to "lie to" when they neared a spirit shop to enable them to take in some fresh grog. A laughable scene was witnessed during the evening. A handsome young fellow, a sheet or two in the wind, en tered an ironmonger's shop and purchased a frying•pan. He next proceeded to a flesher's shop and had the pan fined with sausages : thereafter travelling from shop to shop ask ing the use of a fire for a few minutes to prepare his savoury stew. But to de'ail the eccentricities of the "jolly tars" would be an endless task. The scene at the Tail of the Bank was a very animated one. Hundreds of vessels, from the large sailing and steam vessels down to the small punt, were continually plying to and from the shore. ADMIRAL DACRES ON THE UTILITY OF SMALL VESSELS OF WAIL—On Friday evening Admiral Dacres and the officers of the squadron under his command were entertained to a banquet by the Corporation of Glasgow. In responding to the toast of the evening, Admiral Dacres said that what little he had done in the course of his career in the navy had been amply rewarded. He believed there was not an officer in the British navy who, if he had the same opportunities he had had, would not do as well as he had done, and a great deal better. Alluding to the ships he now commanded, he said there were gentlemen present who knew a great deal more of building ships than he did. But there was one thing he might speak of with as much confidence as most people He believed the present was just as well as any other fleet in the world; and it matters very little whether it was well or ill, they would manage to fight their way through some way, and they would get the people on shore to help if it carne to the worst, (Applause.) As to the Glasgow shipbuilding, he spoke not as a sailor only, he spoke of it as a most interesting subject to every Englishman. Tho great question in case of war would not be, how many iron-clads we had, hut what nation would sweep the seas of its opponents ? He had seen yards there that could build a vessel in a year, he meant such a vessel as the Royal Oak. These, however, were not the vessels we should want. We should want hundreds of vessels like the Alabama, that everybody bad heard of, and which the Americans were now suffering from, He did not ' mean to reflect on the Admiralty in adverting to this ques tion of small vessels. It would be very unbecoming in him if he did, for he knew that the Duke of Somerset, in a speech he made recently, was exactly of the same opinion he had expressed. BALL ON BOARD SHIP.—The officers of the line of-battle ship Duke of Wellington, now lying in Portsmouth Harbour, gave a luncheon and ball on board, that noble vessel on Thurday last. The hospitable o_ffthereoyl the gallant entertainers was well responded to, d had the pleasure to welcome upwards of 200 visitors to tionthtehier ship, comprising members of the principal county, including the Isle of Wight. .Axo f °: Portsmouth, sent were also the commander-in - ch ie and of the ships in the officers of the regiment in garrisco:;aB beautifully fitted fil e n : those pre commission at the port.

Amon g st t hese were l t u a he i man y beautiful cups kindly placed at the disposal of the officers by Lord Londesborough, whose brother, the Hon. Albert Denison, is now serving as lieutenant on board the vessel. The splendid Ascot Cup, won by West Australian, in 1851; the Emperor's Cup, won by the Ursuline, in the celebrated match to Cherbourg, in 1858 ; and the cup won for the present lord, by the Albertine, last month, over the same course, were amongst the more conspicuous objects. Grimston Hall had also furnished a supply of flowers and fruit, which arrived in excellent condition, although it had travelled from the further end of Yorkshire to Portsmouth. Several handsome epergnes and. centre pieces, supplied by Messrs. E. and E Emmanuel, of Portsea, also contributed to the decoration of the tables. The ship's bane, stationed around the mainmast, soon set in motion the nimble feet of the happy guests, and, with the necessary intermission during luncheon, dancing was maintained with great ani mation from three in the afternoon till about eight in the evening, when the visitors took leave of their gallant en- 1 tertainers, and were conveyed ashore.

LOST IN THE HILLS.—A gentleman from the granite city who arri ve d at Wick a week or two ago with the intention of " doing" the northern counties, was this week in his over anxiety to get over the ground, very nearly ; " doing" himself. It appears that he had reached the west of Sutherland, and having taken up his quarters with a friend there spent a day or two seeing what was to be seen in his locality. Time was precious, however, and our friend, e eatrary to the early solicitations of his host, resolved to set out for Bettyhill, his next stage, at a late hour in the afternoon ; and to shorten the distance, as he supposed, he, instead of taking the road, tried to reach his destination by a short cut through the hills. For an hour or two he got along to his entire satisfaction, but dark ness coming on, he began to find that a j ou rney in the dark over such a road was anything but comfortable work. To make his bed on the hill-side, however, was hardly a pleasant prospect either, and he accordingly floun derei on as he best could, determined to get to the end of his journey; but after wandering about for a considerable time, and finding the difficulties of his path increasing, ho was at length forced to lay himself down on the heath to rest his wearied limbs. Our hero now began to feel sadl y when too late the folly of having neglected the counsels of his friend, but with the beat philosophy he could muster, he came to the resolution, rather than run the risk of tumbling over some craggy precipice, or of sinking into some bottomless bog, to remain where he was till daylight should reveal to him the true nature of his position-- the miseries of which it is needless for us to recount. To the infinite satisfaction, however, of the belated traveller, the faint streaks of the rising sun ultimately be gan to dawn upon the earth, and to shed ite welcome beams upon the path of our hero. With the light of day his spi rits rose, and stretching his stiffened limbs, he got to his feet to survey the scene of his wretched experiences ; but judge of his surprise, when he found that after all his night's wanderings, he was only a few hundred yards from the place where he started. Thither he hastened as fast as his feeble lees could carry him, and being there regaled with the best the house could produce, he speedily got over the evil effects of his adventure, set out again on his jour ney by another route, and succeeded in at last reaching his destination none the worse of his night in the hills.-40k 0' Groat's Journal. 6 6 i i i i 1131 14 13 104 1 121} 2 126 I IA p 101 1001 Bus'nem done 62S 2 108 1091 9 1081 i I Share 13.14. 6.4.0 19.16.4 12.10 ihart 100 itk 20 .eo4 to too 1 stock stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock steel; st 20 St +lock PaJd, all . all 100 (100 ' 100 2 all leo 106 ESSE 50Z 25 41 571 i 931 i 1061 281 71 I 57i 1091
