MARKETS--This Day. The wheat trade i n the MARK-LA cou ntry markets, held on Satur day, was very quiet, and, in some instances, old wheats changed hands at lower prices. All descriptions of spring corn met a slow sale, but without loading to any material change in the rates current on the previous week. Flour sold heavily, at about recent quotations. Advices from New York state that there Was less doing in wheat and flour for export, but the quantity on passage to Great Britain is moderately large. On the Continent, the trade is dull. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were 45,273 quarters of wheat ; 8,062 barley; 30,321 oats , 1,515 beans ; 4,559 peas ; 3,443 tares ; 7,275 rapeseed ; 6,2& maize; 420 sundry seeds ; and 67,993 barrels of flour. About three thousand quarters of new English wheat were on sale at Mark-lane, to-day. A fair proportion was received in excellent condition : but the state of several parcels showed that the produce had not remained buflieiently lung in the fields. The demand ruled far from active both for red and white qualities ; Talavera realised 56s ; and the business done in other kinds was chiefly at 46a to 51s per quarter. There was very little 01l wheat on offer, yet the trade was very slow, at barely last Monday's currency. The show of American wheats on offer was large, and the market was well supplied with produce from other coun tries. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and in some instances prices declined is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, and previous quo tations were barely supported. The supply of barley was very moderate. All qualities, however, were in slow request, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday last. In malt a limited business was transacted on former terms. There was a moderately extensive supply of oats on offer. The trade for all qualities ruled inactive, and in some in stances prices slightly declined. Beans commanded very little attention, notwithstanding that the supply on offer was but moderate. In the cur rency no charge took place. Peas were unaltered in value, but the inquiry for them was far from active. The supply on offer was very mode rate. With barrel flour the market was extensively supplied, and the aemand 1 b TII.e. ..o.kvy, on rathor oaoior terrno. Othor descriptions or flour moved off slowly, at about stationary prices.

She said, " Oh, my father is a clockmaker, and I will take this and show it to him. Per haps he will buy it." Plaintiff, however, had never seen the clock again to this day. Miss Phillips, a very pretty Jewess, said--Plaintiff was courting me, and he made me a great many presents. We had a quarrel, and he wants the things back. His Honour—Then you do not feel disposed to return them ? Miss Phillips—Certainly not. Plaintiff—l have a witness here who will prove that I asked for the things bock. His Honour—But she says they were presents, Was that so ? Plaintiff—l am entitled to have my presents back. His Honour—Did any letters pass ? (At this the defendant smiled, and said " No.") Plaintiff's witnesses generally deposed to having heard plaintiff demand the clock: Alias Phillips—He bought the clock on Sunday morn ing and gave it to me as a present. His Honour—Youshou:d not give clocks to young ladies, Mr. Raphael. You must be nonsuited. Nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GUILDHALL. A young man named Atkinson was charged with obtain ing, by means of a forged order, a quantity of silk handker chiefs, the property of Messrs. Ellis and Hubbard. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had previously been in the employ of Messrs. Leo, and in that capacity he had become acquainted with the mode of busi ness of the house, and also the warehouses with which the firm dealt. One day last week the prisoner presented an order requesting that three pieces of silk handker chiefs might be supplied. No suspicion was enter tained, and the goods were supplied, and the prisoner left. In a few days after Messrs. Ellis received a printed g man was obtain by means i e n ir g cu g l , a ,o r d , s i i n n fo t r h m e i n n a g m t e h o em f th t e ha fl t rm a o y f ou m n essrs. Lee, of forged orders. While the circular was being read in the office the prisoner was seen to pass into the warehouse, and a police-constable was sent for, and the prisoner given into custody. After that the prisoner did not deny the charge of falsely obtaining the goods. A gentleman from th e firm of Pawson, Son, and Com pany, said the prisoner ca me to their house a sho r t ti me ago and requested th a t a quan tity of clothin g might b e supplied him, as the agent of Messrs. Lee, of Teignraotth. As the order produced was informal, and further that he could not give a reference to any person in the city, he was not supplied with the goods. _ _ A number of other witnesses gave evidence to prove ,hat various other houses had been victimieed. Alderman Allen remanded the prisoner till Wednesday next. duplicate relating to the prosecutor's gold watch and chain was found upon the prisoner. Two respectable witnesses, neighbours of the parties, de posed to seeing the prisoner remove the gold watch and chain from Mr. Rayner's neck on the 6th of July. The prosecutor was recalled, and said ho valued his watch and chain at £l6. The prisoner snatched his watch and chain from his neck so very suddenly and rapidly that he could not stop him. John Good, assistant to Mr. Francis Cotter, of No. 10, Shoreditch, produced Mr. Rayner's gold watch and chain, which the prisoner had pawned for £3 10s. Mr. Good said he had conscientious objections to the taking of an oath, and claimed to make his solemn affirmation in the terms of the Act of Parliament passed in the session of 1862. He was questioned by'Mr. Woolrych, and said he was not a Quaker, but a member of the Free English Church at Hackney. He attended the services of that church. Scrip ture said—Swear not at all. He believed the usual oath ordinarily administered to witnesses in our courts cf justice was taking God's name in vain. Mr. Woolrych permitted the witness to make his solemn affirmation, in the terms of the act of Parliament. James Barton, a constable of the K divisbn, said th 3 pri soner had not been in Limehouse, or any part of the dis trict since the robbery. He understood the prisoner had been to Swansea, in North Wales. The prisoner, in defence, said he saw Mr. Rayner play ing at skittles on the 6th of July, and he was so intoxicated that he fell down. Mr. Rayner then came in front of the bar, and he took his watch and chain away, with the inten tion of delivering both to Mrs. Rayner, but instead of doing so, raised £3 10s. upon them. Mr. Woolrych—l shall remand the prisoner until to morrow (Tuesday). On the application of the City policeman, Saunders, the duplicate of another gold watch, and the duplicate of two silk handkerchiefs, taken from the prisoner, were restored to him, METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average supply of foreign stock on cffer in to-day's market; but its general quality was iderior. Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a drooping ten dency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, and the quality of most breeds was prime. The attendant~ of buyers was only mo derate, hence the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with last week, of 2d per Blbs, and at which a clearance was not effected. The top figure was 4s 8d per Sibs. The show of Irish and Scotch beasts was limited. We were again well supplied with sheep, and most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. All breeds moved off slowly; nevertheless, the prices current on this day se'ennight were supported. The best Downs realised 5s per Sibs. Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish request, at late rates—viz. from 5s to 6s per Sibs. The show of calves was moderate, and the veal trade was heavy, at late rates. Top price, 43 6d per 81bs. In pigs next to nothing was doing, at previous currencies. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,600 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 303 various breeds ; from Scotland, 40 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 170 oxen and heifers.

BOW-STREET. Ann Winn and Johanna Collins were placed at tho bar charged with creating a disturbance in the streets and also with assaulting the police. Police C listable, 81 F. said about half-pa.:4 one yester day morning he was on duty in King. street, Drury Lane, when he saw the prisoner Winn creating a disturbance. He desired her to be quiet and go home, when she became very violent, and he then took her into custody. Collins at tempted to prevent him taking Winn to the station-house, and through her she succeeded in running into one of the houses in the street. He followed, and not finding her in the passage he proceeded up stairs and searched the first floor. Not discovering her there he went into the rooms on the second, and there found her and took her into custody. Collins was also taken to the station house and charged with attempting to rescue a prisoner. An elderly woman, a resident in the third floor of the house from which Winn was taken, said she was very much alarmed when the policeman entered her room with his lantern in his hand, about hall .past one in the morning. Mr. Henry—What did he want in your rooms after he had taken the prisoner into custody on the second floor ? Witness—l don't know, your worship. Mr. Henry (to the constable) —Had you any doubt, when you took Winn into custody, about her being the person that assaulted you ? .J onstable—No, your worship. Mr .Henry—Then why did you go into the upper rooms —what reason had y ou t o do so ? Constable—After I had been in the second floor I went up to the third, thinking there might be some one else. Mr. Henry—That implies that you had a doubt about Winn being the person. Had you any doubt? Constable—No, your worship, Mr. Henrp—Then explain the reason that led you to enter the rooms on the third floor. Constable—l went to see who was there. Mr. Henry—What for ? Do you think you have a right to enter people's rooms at half -past one in the morning, which of itself is calculated to create a great deal of alarm, without strong reason. You say you had no doubt about Winn being the person, whom you were in search of, and yet, having discovered her in the second floor, you proceed upstairs to the rooms above. If you were certain the pri soner was that person, I cannot see what you wanted to go there for. I can only think that you had some doubt about the woman bring the person, although you say to the con trary. Constable—l had no doubt about it, your worship. Mr. Henry —Well, I have considerable doubt about it, and I order Winn to be discharged, Is anything known about Collins ? Inspector West said sho was a very disorderly person, and much given to drink. Mr. Henry—l shall not dispose of the charge as affects her until some further inquiry is made about her. The prisoner Collies was then put back to enable the in formation required by the magistrate to be obtained. TIIAMES. ROBBING A NEtGHBOU R.—James Bartington, a butcher and a tripe-dresser, was brought before Mr. Woolrycb, charged with stealing a gold watch and chain valued at £l6, the property of John Ra) ner , co f fee - house keeper. This was a very remarkable case. At the time of the robbery the prisoner was carrying on a good business at No. 93, Limehouse-causeway, living with his family and respected by and on good terms with his neighbours. On the 6th of July last the prosecutor, who has long carried on the business of a coffee -shop keeeper in Hope-terrace, Three Celt-street, Lirnehouse, the prisoner and others, were in the Two Brewers publichouse in Fore-street, Lime• house. All the parties were on the best of terms and con versing and drinking with each other. The prosecutor became inebriated, and the prisoner seemed very anxious about him and offered to remove his gold chain and watch from his neck and take care of them. The prosecutor would not allow the prisoner to take care of his watch and chain, and said, " I can take care of my own property." The prisoner, however, persevered and took the watch and chain from the prosecutor, who thought he had been robbed, and said " Where is my watch ?" The prisoner said, " Here it is —I'll take it home to your wife," and was allowed to keep possession of the watch and chain. The prisoner, however, immediately absconded with his neighbour's watch and chain, forsook his family, and was never heard of since until yesterday, when he was met by a City police-constable, named Sandus, No. 625. in Bitt 01)...zate) aUd tOCtig him into custody, A pawubrykoea MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ROBBERY OF A DANSEUSE'S JEWELLERY.—Mark Thomas Marshall, a lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another lad now in custody in stealing jewellery to the value of nearly £lOO, the property of Madile. Marianina de Francesco, an Italian danseuse at the Alhambra, Leicester.square. Mr. Edward Lewis, Groat Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence. Mr. Lewis said that on Saturday a boy named Jones was charged with being concerned in the robbery, and in conse quence of what he said, namely, that Marshall had been admitted into the house, 16, Leicester-street, by him under threats, and that he had committed the robbery, Marshall was apprehended. Madlle. de Francesco having deposed to leaving her lodgings about half-past 7 in the evening and returning at midnight, when she found the bottom panel of the room door—which she had locked—broken in, and all the drawers open and her jewellery and that of her sister gone, Sergeant Joy, 90, proved apprehending Marshall at two this morning, when he admitted that he was at 16, Lei cester-street on the night of the robbery, but said that it was committed by Jones, who, however, gave him some of the jewellery. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Joy said Marshall was an " old friend" of his. Mr. Lewis said that was all the evidence he should pro duce that day. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till the day to which Jones is remanded. MR. NOBLE'S BUST OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND.—The directors of the South Stafford shire Potteries Waterworks Company have had placed in their engine-house, at.Wallgrange, near Leek, a fine bust of the late Duke of Sutherland, by Noble. The bust is about five feet in length, and stands on a pedestal of the same height. The latter bears the inscription :—" To re cord the name of James Granville, Duke and Earl of Sutherland, a truly Christian nobleman, whose great and unobtrusive benevolence led him uniformly to promote every judicious design for the health, comfort, and well-being of his fellow-men, the proprietors of these works —commenced in the year 1843, and carried out under his patronage—have erected this memorial. Dec., 1862." [Having, some little time since, had the gratification our selves of inspecting this bust in the artist's studio, we can speak of its merits as a work of art with the utmost confi dence.—En. Sux.] LISTZ AND THE POPE,—In regard to the recent rumour as to a visit paid to the great pianist and com poser Listz by his Holiness, the Reader remarks—Great excitement prevails in Rome on account of an extempore visit paid by the Pope to Dr. Listz, the composer. The latter. it seems, left town in the middle of last month, and went to reside at the now deserted Dominican Convent near the church of the Madonna del Rosario on the Monte Mario, from which there is a magnificent view of Rome below. He there lived hermit-like, entirely devoted to his art. Some prelates informed the Pope of his residence and mode of life; and on Sunday, the 18th of July, he went, only accompanied by Mgr. de Merode, a Cameraria segreto, and some Guardi nobili, to the Madonna del Rosario, where he first said his prayers, and then suddenly appPared before the modern anachorite. Franz Listz played him two sacred compositions, one on the harmonium, the other on the piano. When he had finished, his Holiness expressed his thanks in the most amiable manner, and concluded with the words, "It is a noble gift which has been be stowed upon you, to reproduce the songs of higher spheres —the finest harmonies, it is true, we shall only hear on high. VICTIMS OF JUVENILE GENTILITY.—" Uncon scious of their doom, the Little Victims Play"—be fore being dressed !—A Saturday Reviewer remarks—Per haps all the world does not know exactly what happens when children whose mammas are particular aro taken out in town for a regulation promenade. One of the victims is seized, and curled, and dressed out for the sacrifice, and then put on a chair to wait, without the movement of a limb and in solemn silence, until the whole party is ready. Then a second is dressed, and stuck up in the same way, till the process is ended by the exhaustion of the nursery. At last, under the pressure of continual assurances that they are all wicked children, they are got in a decorous and helpless way out of the house, and put into the desired file in the street, and then marched on with proper dignity, until at last the nurse meets another nurse and another set of victims, when the two servants abandon the care of in fancy for gossip about their lovers, and a fitful ease per vades the little party. GROWTH OF OUR POSTAL SYSTEM.—The dis tance over which mails are conveyed within the United Kingdom, was last year nearly 160,000 miles a day, being upwards of 7,000 miles more than at the end of 1861. Besides this there is the foreign and colonial packet service, which employs 96 steamships exclusive of tenders, and dis tributes our letters all over the world, from the neighbour ing port of Calais, to Auckland in New Zealand, about 15,000 statute miles from Southampton. The voyages per formed by these vessels during the year were equal, in the aggregate, to more than three millions of miles I During the last year there were delievered in the United Kingdom 60.5 millions of letters, 73 millions of newspapers, and 14 millions of book packets. Valentines show no sign of fall ing off, last year 430,000 of these amatory effusions passing through the London office ; an increase of more than 20,000 upon the previous year; while the present year shows a yet further and still larger increase. There is be sides this a great increase of travelling post.cffices now running on most of the railways, by which mails are con veyed to and from London ; as well as an adoption of the ingenious mail-bag-exchanging apparatus at more than 100 stations. The number of public receptacles for letters is now 14,776, as compared with 14,354 last year. The sum paid in exchange for postage stamps amounted last year, in London alone, to nearly £60,000. Daring the last year the number of money-order offices in Great Britain and Ireland was increased to 2,879. They issued during the twelve month 7 587,045 orders for sums amounting in the whole to £15,761,259. Finally, we may add that we now ex change money.orders with Canada, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New Zealand, the Cape of Good Hope, Gibraltar, and Malta; and it is anti cipated that we shall soon do so with New South Wales and several other colonies. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS TN MAIDSTONE GAOL.—The execution of Alfred Eldridge, convicted of the minder of Richard Steed, and Alfred Holden, who pleaded guilty to the murder of his infant son, has been appointed to take place on Thursday, the 20th inst. Since his conviction the prisoner Eldridge has confessed his guilt. His account is that on the night of the murder Steed and himself were walking home from the Prince Albert public house. The deceased said Eldridge owed him some money, which he denied. Steed then pushed him off the path, and behaved roughly towards him. Eldridge then said, "If you do it again I'll knock your head off;" but Steed pushed hint off a third time, and he then struck him in the face, knocking him down ; and in his fury and revenge for old grudges gave him several kicks in the face, being at the time so much under the influence of drink that he had no control of his passions. Eldridge was visited by his brother on the day succeeding his trial, but his wife is not in a ccon dition to visit him.

Hurst and Blanket This story is so very unequal in parts, th a t we might almost incline to doubt its being all the work of one hand; that it is so, we ultimately be lieve, but that hand is one as yet unpractised in the mysteries of the craft. For a first work, however, as we a re i nc li ned to regard it, it evinces, with all its faults, no little power, and no small amount of the imaginative faculty. We shall expect better things hereafter at the hands of the author of " Three Li ves i n One The first volume relates the struggles o f the orphan , family of an improvident doctor. The scenes and characters are not simply domestic but commonplace, and trivial. We will confess, now that we have fiaished the book, that our perusal of it nearly came to an end in the course of that same first volume! As e.n evidence of the height to which absurdity of description can go, imagine the following — The orphan family aforesaid part let of their house, and among their lodger s arr i ve a young lady and gentleman of title. The morning after their arrival, Katherine Montague waits upon Lady Geraldine Harcourt to inquire her orders for dinner. Lady Geraldine, in her morning -dress, is described as being so remarkably charming that, we are told, " Katherine could avant, have worshipped her!" As the story advances, however, the tone improves. The hero is one Ralph, whose three very different lives as Ralph Palmer, Ralph Clarendel, and Ralph Acres constitute the subject of the history —Three Lives in One. This life, or lives, of Ralph is, from first to last, a series of great improbabilities. Until sixteen he grows up as the eldest son and heir of Lord Clarendel, the son of the Earl of St. Mark. Ralph, as the heir, is an object of interest to every one. It is then discovered that he is not Lord Clarendel'a lawful son, that Lady Clarendel is not his mother, but one Mrs. Palmer, whom he has regarded as his nurse. Full of indignation and eager for revenge, Ralpb, instead of seeking for a fortune in accordance with the education he has received, resolves, with a foolish de fiant pride, to give up the aristocracy and join his mother's class. He goes to the village of Acres, where he was born, takes the name of Palmer, and becomes a field labourer ! A little later on we find him a domestic servant—a youth who until sixteen had received the education of a gentleman I At length he finds a more suitable career—as a soldier—where he rises from the ranks, and is adopted by Colonel Clarendel, and begins his second life. We will not follow his eventful fortunes step by step. Suffice it to say, that in his fitful career he learns, by painful experience, the folly of him who would set class against class. A Chartist, a demagogue burning for revenge on the aristocracy, Ralph Palmer is for a while the idol of that class to whom he devotes himself heart and soul. Very bitter and heart-sickening is the disappointment that ensues, when having made " idols " of the people he " finds them clay." In his third career Ralph Acres, if a sadder, is a wiser and a better man. Improbable and even ridiculous as his story is in parts, it contains a very truthful lesson, and reads a warning to the young and enthusiastic. It abounds with life and adventure, and, as we have already said, with all its faults, it leads us to expect future excellence from its author. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

ISIIIII SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. TURKEY. Constantinople letters and journals to the 30th of July have reached us, but their contents are not of much importance. The alleged pro bability of a change of Ministry is said to have originated in certain differences of opi nion between Fuad Pacha, the Grand Vizier, and lialil-Pacha, who conducts the Ministry of War, relative to a concentration of troops at Sebum's. Although officially contradicted, the modification spoken of was not altogether dis believed in the Turkish capital, and a certain alarm was felt there at the idea of Fuad Pitch& withdrawing from the head of the Government.

The monthly meeting of the council was held at two o'clock on 'Wednesday, the sth inst., at the offices of the society, 3, Duke-street, Adelphi—E. Wilson, Eeq., V.P., in the chair. Present, Messrs. Wilson, Waterhouse, Hawkins, J. J. Stone, J. Bush, F. Buckland, and J. Lowe. The following candidates for admission into the society were proposed and elected :—as life members, Lord Brown- low, Sir Harry Stacey, Bart., M.P., %V. Morrison, Esq., M.P., F. H. K. G. Calthorpe, Esq., M.P., and E. H. Moscrop, Esq. As annual subscribers, his Grace the Arch bishop of Dublin, D. F. Fortescue, Esq., G. A. Sala, Esq., H. Early, Esq., B. Sharp, Esq., Capt. Grant, J. Pilking ton, Esq., M.P., and E. A. Moriarty, Esq. Mr. Lowe reported the arrival of eggs of the Bombay Cynthia, and also a box of live worms of the same species. The former were procured through the kindess of M..Rame, a member of the council of the Freuch Socitite d'Acclima teflon ; and the latter had been sent by M. Guerin-Wne ville, director of the sericulture' branch of the imperial farm at Vincennes. The eggs were all hatched out, and the worms were all under the care of Mr. Bash, the honorazy treasurer. It was ordered that specimens should be sent to members requiring the same. A letter was read from Mr. Stone, a member of the coun cil, detailing a scheme which he had in view for obtaining birds of game from India, through the aid of Government. Mr. Stone handed in a list of the birds which it was desir able to obtain, and explained the manner in which the birds could be collected, and how the breeding of these birds might be made a profitable source of income to the society. The following resolution was agreed to : That Messrs. Buckland, Bush, ant Stone be elected a committee, to obtain importations of Indian pheasants and birds of game for the society, and to endeavour to get the assistance of the Secretary of State ana Governor-General of India for that purpose, and that they be empowered to pledge the society's funds to a moderate extent for payment of the expenses. A letter was read from Mr. Coles, of Bath (a brother of Mr. Coles, of Lidgetown, Southern Africa), stating that he could send elands at moderate price. It was resolved unanimously That Mr. Bush be authorised to write to Mr. Coles, •in reply to his letter, to obtain two female elands and one male for the society, at the cost named in his letter ; and that arrangements he made for shipping and transmitting them, provided the cost be not more than £4O per animal. A premium of £lO each to be offered for each living animal safely delivered. It was reported by the members who had visited the Alexandra Park, at Muswell-hill, that, although the site was a very beautiful one, and apparently favourable to the health of birds and animals, the arrangements at the park were not yet sufficiently settled to warrant the Council in recom. mending the society to accept the liberal offer of the direr. tors, inasmuch as a greater immediate outlay wou ld be r equired than the society would be justified in subtracting from its lauds. The secretaries were ordered to write a letter of thanks to the directors of the Alexandra Palk Company, and an exprest-ion of regret that• the society is as yet unable to avail itself of their liberal offer. Mr. Hawkins proposed that some arrangement should be made with Mr. Bush for the temporary occupation of part o f his premi ses , A t present the society had no place w hi c h it could properly call its own, and where persons desirous of seeing what the society is doing might go and judge for themselves, without trespassing upon the privacy o f Mr , Bush. Eventually it was agreed— " That Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Bnckland be appointed a committee to arrange with Mr. Bush the terms between himself and the society for the accommodation. and maintenance of animals, birds, &c., belonging to the society." Mr. Buckland prese nted s pare?' of seeds of the El e ph an t Grass, which had been sent to him. These Were ordered to be distributed. With reference to the "Gold Schley," or spotted tench, presented to the society by Mr. Berney, it was resolved that they should be entrusted to M r . Hi giord Burr, Alder maston Court, near Reading, with a view to breeding. James Coxe, M.D., Edinburgh , will receive th e h ono ur of knighthood. Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, who h a s spent a long and u se f ul l ife in scientific researches, th e inventor of a common road steam carriage, the Bude and many other important objects, and also the successful ventilator of th e t wo houses of Parliament, i s also to re ceive the honour of knighthood. " TUE TWELFTH."—From all quarters we hear that the prospects for the 12th were never more cheering to the sportsman. Grouse are numerous and strong and swift, and improving rapidly in condition ' • blackco,k, ph e asants, and hares are abundant; partridges are also well advanced. The deer prospects are particu• lady good, and fawns are very numerous. BONHOMMIE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 111. —Another letter from Vichy relates the following anecdote of the Emperor :—" At the end of the week as his Majesty was taking one of his usual walks, a group of pea• cants, who were crowding round to get a good view, were ordered to stand back by an officer of the imperial suite. In reply to this injunction, an old peasant said : 'Oh I sir, you see him every day, whenever you please; but we come half a day's journey every other year to admire him. Be just, sir, and let us see him at our ease.' The Emperor, who was conversing with Prince Murat at the time, heard every word of the old man's request, and, turning to him, took his hand, and said : ' Why do you not come every year, my friend ?" Oh I Monsieur l'Empereur, every one takes his turn ; last year my wife and son came; this year it is my daughter and myself ' " A LIBERAL LANDLORD.—We understand that the Earl of Zetlaod, in consideration of the several successive bad seasons which his tenantry have had, has authorised a deduction of 10 per cent. from the rent due for the 1862 crop on his lands of Kerse and Castleearry. SCOTCH LUNATICS.—Six years ago the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the state of Lunacy in Scotland, startled the whole country by the revelations contained in its able and elaborate report. As a matter of course that report was assailed, especially i n Scotland, but the experience of the General Board of Lunacy has since amply confirmed the full truth of its state ments. We are glad to see that the Government,by recom mending Dr. James Cosa to her Majesty for the honour of knighthood, have now reco gnited the services of the Royal Commission. Dr. Cas e was associatel in the Scottish Com mission with the late Sheriff Monteith and two of the English Lunacy Commissioners, Mr. Campbell and Ur. Gaskell, but the other avocations of these gentleraen pre vented their giving their full time and a t t ention t.! its duties, and in Scotland Br . Coza was l oo ked upon as chl.tly responaible for ita ttattmmts. Now , '~! ~. ,
