ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a fair demand for money in the general discount market to-day, but discounters continue to evince great caution in all their operations, and are only 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 on nearly all the principal continental cities except St, Petersburg, which were considerably lower, Owing to the unfavourable advices respecting finan cial affairs there. The list of applications for shares in the Aus tralian Mortgage Laud and Finance Company w i ll be closed for London, on Friday, the 20th 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 L% Guayra 31,999 dols. Bc., and Puerto Cabello 1,146 dols. 6e., making a total of 33,140 dole. 94c. At the departure of the mail they were settling with the custom-house at La Gaavra 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'CLocit. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes Were 67f. 25c.—Heavy. There is not much animation in the English Funds to-day, 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., 921 a for money, and 911 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes are 90! a ; the Reduced, 90!-; India 5 per Cents., 1081 1; ditto Enfaced, 1051; ditto Debentures, 99/ ; and Exchequer Bills 4s. dis.

A friend of mine, says a correspondent of the Queen, had an i n t erv i ew w i t h hi s H o li ness l ate l y , an d de scribed him as most affable and good. humoured. IT Is RELATED OF GEORGE 111. that, on one ma sk"; when he was attending Divine service at one of the Royal chapels, the officiating chaplain (a well-known poli tical person of the timo) delivered a sermon, in which he warmly eulogised the character of the King. His Majesty, it is said, was highly offended at this, and when he was quitting the c h ape l , and t h e preac h er confronted him in the . I ,. ° Pe of hearing some compliment upon his eloquence, the 'king rebuked - . him sternly. " Sir, „ said he, " I came here to listen to God's praisef+, and not my own."_. 1271 P TIM SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (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.;Geerge'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 Pier giving him all the money sha 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 his 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 for 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 witnesses, named Phail, Carter, and Clark, gave evidence which clearly proved the adultery. _ _ The Judge Ordinary said the case had been satisfactorily made out, and decreed a rule nisi, with costs against tho respondent.

Captious critics often complain that the Crystal Palace has not fulfilled the high ao3thetic 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 now managers deserve the credit of having thoroughly accepted the lower rule 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, filwershows, f ancy fairs, grid j7es 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 first, 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 131ondin 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. Nader and eight companions, at the end of last month, per formed their perilous voyage from Paris to Nion burg, and which all but carried the passengers to death's door. This Leviathan of the vother 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 Geant 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 entirely hand-sewn, and the work occupied 300 men and women for more than a month. M. Nader tells 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 bulk, one can imagine the mingled terror und 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 pe r f orme d b y b alloons of such a size. M. Nader 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 4-1 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 the last ascent from the Champ de Mars. The car will, pro b ably, be w ith many a chief object of interest, and it cer tainly is a great cariosity in its way. I n i ts out side appearance it is not unlike, o n a small scale, one of the caravans to be mot with at the outskirts of country fairs or by the side of a gipsy en campment ; and its interior may remi n d many of singular sojourning places w hi ch shippers advertise as commodiou s sa l oon cabins. about 15ft. long by 12ft. wid e , an d i s parti lY If t t ai h toc o ne s i e tsei d °ti o s ff 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 cities, 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 a ide, 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 slung 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, ire which they were w hi r l e d 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'etait 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 aide which was dragged the ground, hanged again s t t rees , tisondlofinng along 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 aeronaut de spectacle, whose only ambition is to minister to the amusement of the multitude. In a different way he aspires to turn his ballooning ex perience to scientific uses. He seems to look for ward to a time when the air, li ke the sea, will be the highway of nations; when the heavens will be filled with the commerce of nations, and even when, if so minded, men may build iron-plated balloons as they are now building iron-plated frigates. In a word, M. Nadar believes that be is on the high road to the solution of that problem which has baffled ingenious contrivers of all ages, from Dlodalus downwards, and that be can give to man the som e mastery over the air as he obtained over the sea. Of balloons, pure and simple, strange to say, M. Nadar has no g reat o p inion . It is by an adaptation of the powers of the screw.—. , ' the holy screw " as a French saran calls it—that he The balloonoon confidently a reckons u t o o n i 0 c c o a m r r o y t i i o n lig. practice his is only the prologue to a more perfect flyingr, machine w hich will be completely under man's control, and which will spring upwards,— "Into the wild expanse, and through the shock 4 6 Of fighting elements, on all sides round " Environed, win its way." The balloon he ellis a mere toy—his cerWnly 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 Geant. 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 predecessors; 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. --- 4 ----- 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. Lally, 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 ball, having learnt his host's name, Lally asked to see the touts 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 beheaded in 1766, and if banson'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, Chas. Henry Sanson 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 Do :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 found 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 I'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 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 he 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. do Strasbourg, M. d'Orleans, Scc., 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 ancient . droit de havie 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 M. 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 amuse 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 Comte de Charolais. From the service of the Comte de Charolais, he 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, Rl. 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. " Tuez-les," he said to the servants, pe isqu'on vous y force, mais ne les massacrez pas." The luxurious and patriarchal position of the execu tioners passed away, like other picturesque " b ut cumbrous institutions, after the Revolution; but, for about two years, the Sanson falililo put into such a p osi t io n as no people evreLU werepd led before in a civilised country. Charles Henry San son kept a journal during the Reign o f which his grandson, who Terror, of well remembers r epublished the greater part.

There is something very im press:ye in tier destruction by the very man w h o had at their bidding performed such. indescribable cruelties. Of all the revolutionary executions, tho se of Fouquier Tinville and Hebert perhaps inspire the most disgust.

SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. THE POLISH INSURRECTION, KONIGSBERG, Nov. 9. The Ostdeutsch, Zeitung says :—" Notwithstand ing the storms and rains of autumn, the want of seasonable equipment, and the heavy reverses lately sustained, the Poles do not draw back from the work once begun ; and the still animated, active, and crowded life at the scene of operations tell us that much more blood will yet saturate the unhappy land, and thousands fall before this strife of despair and destruction comes to an end." THE TRIPLE MURDER IN A CAB. CORONERS' INQUEST CONTINUED Yesterday morning, Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Hose an of 6a tlianleialvverinli,ialmVairinuenrt: road, Camberwell, on the body d the husband and father of the female and two children w h o were found dead in a cab, under the terrible circumstances the pro ceedings i‘r alreadyl.s Huberto generally Iv o Wood, k , n o att ended to watch . solicitor, on the part of the relations of the deceased, Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, w as a nd present by direction of the Commissioners of Police. Mr. Charles M'Culloch said the deceased was in vice. His name was Samuel William Hunt. Ho had b 807" in our service about three years as traveller, and Whe n a r : home, assistant in the shop. I last saw him alive last M en .. day. He was then in the shop attending to business. li e remained till half-past seven. I did not notice anything out of his usual manner, which was reserved and morose, but to me he was always very respectful. I have com plained to him 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 order to procure the aconite. I had received an order for oil of rosemary and oil of juniper, and it was given to the deceased. The direction given him was a written one, but T know nothing about the aconite or oil of almonds, The rosemary and juniper was sent to the place as directed, bat nothing fur ther had been heard of the aconite and almonds, neither had been discovered. George Gooll, of 5, Ann's-place, Camberwell, cabman, said he was on the rank at the corner of the New-road on Saturday evening, when a female and two children hired. him to drive them to the Eastern Counties Railway. After he had driven a short distance a gentleman hailed him from the path, and said he wanted to go to the Eastern Counties Railway, He said he knew the lady, and it was all right. When he had driven as far as the corner of Worship-street, by the direction of the man he pulled up at a chemist's shop, when the woman got out, and went into the shop. After remaining there a short time, she re-entered the cab, and told him not to drive up to the platform, but to set them down before they came to the entrance. He did so, The man paid the fare, and he then drove home. The deceased man is the person who hailed me after the woman and 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 woman. It was about 7 o'clock when they arrived at the railway station. He saw Hunt at the station house, and then 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 hnd 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 public-house in Bishopsgato-street. H E , said ho was certain it was the Inas who held the pot upside down after the beer was drank, as he saw his hand and coat sleeve eut 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 03k, saying they would be all right by the time they got there. Ile never hoard the slightest noise in the cab. Ile idonlified the deceased as the man who hired him to drive from Bishopsgale street to Bay swatei, on Saturday, and who got out of the cab at Furnival's-inn. Mr. Currey, surgeon, at St. Mary's Hospital, said he had made a post mortem 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 little too much to drink. She wished them flavoured with cinna mon and cardamons. I mado up two draughts of bicordone 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 take it to the cab to ask the gee. tleman whether it would do. She returned, saying it would not answer, and she then purchased a small tumbler in a case called a medicine glass. lam certain there was nothing else in the mixture I sold the female but what 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 him a frizzy one, and fastened it on his upper lip. He asked me if it lookod 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. was then clear e d, an d on the admission of tho 1 i c The ly room executed. public, T he hoeeoCrdoirnognleyr i s e a e i u d e t d he h j ie urz e f r o r u e n n d r. f a o v r e t r h d e ict of e. o ,d e se , and burial 7 l ofthe ' self, murderer to-night, between the hours of 9 and 12.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) THE LAW AS TO MARRIED WOMEN-NOVEL KITT V. FORSTER. This was an action to recover £7.8 for some furniture. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Butler Rigby, instructed by Mr. Beard, representing defendant, who had 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. Mogen, 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—lt appears to me that plaintiff cannot sue alone. His Honour found by the rules that he, 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.

Soon after she was locked up in a cell. George Mountford, a police sergeant, No. 31 K, found her suspended by the neck to a piece of string, which she made fast to th 3 bars. She was black in the face, and he cut her down, and revived her. The reserve man in the station was ordered to watch her closely, but she contrived to fasten another cord round her neck and all but strangled herself. 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. The 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 herielf 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 hor folly and her wicked ness.

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 oxpence to render it equal to any other place of entertainment in the metropolis.
