MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although the available supplies of money are ample for all immediate demands, bankers and brokers still enforce full terms, while by a conces sion of or per cent, they could divert a large amount of business which is now taken to the Bank of England. The Bank of England return, completed to Wed nesday last, shows some important features. The loan and disc3unt operations have been largely augmented by the increased demand for accommo dation not only upon commercial bills, but also upon Government Securities, the authorities now making their usual quarterly advances. The addi tion to the bullion is small when compared with the quantities recently sent in ; but the accummu lation is nevertheless making steady progress, and Will ultimately contribute to a decline in the Minimum quotation. Annexed are the particulars:— Active Circulation .. £21,190,615 Increase .. • • •• . • • 197,955 . 15,491,219 Bullion .. • • • • Increase .. • • • • • • 184,835 Rest .. •• .• 3 ' 674, 187 Increase .. • • • • • • 262111 Public Deposits • • .. .. 6,818,182 Increase .. • . • • .. 104,381 Other Deposits.. .. • . 13,261,512 Increase .. .. • . .. 454,944 Seven Day and other Bills .. 730 107 Increase .. •• 23,071 Government Securities .. 11,091,284 No alteration.

A further sum of £32,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Marxets during the last few days has been rather dull ; higher prices, however, have been realised for the new season's crop of tea, while sugar, coffee, rice, and fruit have barely sustained former quota tions. In saltpetre there has been a moderate business negotiated, while the tallow market has continued very dull, and prices have shown less firmness for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris thi s morning, according to Mr. R e ut er ' s telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f 20c—firm. The English Stock Market appears again to be devoid of any special feature. The dealings either for investment or speculation are exceedingly limited, but the funds, through certain encouraging features both in this country and on the continent, exhibit inher en t strength, and the quotations con• sequ ent l y keep up at their present high point. Consols are 932.1 for money and the 9th inst., and 33 94 for the new account on the Bth October. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities remain at 92 .1. and Exchequer Bills at ls. dis. to 2s. prem. Indian Stock is well maintained at 224 226 ; the 5 Per Cent. Loan at 1081; the 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 98; and the 5 per Cent. do. at 1071. The principal feature in the Foreign Market to day is a rise of k per cent. in Mexican Stock, viz., to 40 1 41, upon a rumour to thd effect that arrange ments have been completed for a new Loan. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 70; do., 1862, 70 1 71 ; do., Consolides, have improved to . 531 •; 1 , ; Portuguese to 491 50 ; the Confederate Loan to 28 to 26 discount ; Internal Spanish Passive to 294 th e External are steady at 343 353; the Certificates at 13 1 ; Greek are firmer at 371 i; the Coupons ; re 17 1 181; Italian, 721 73; Russian, 931 ; and Per uvian, 88a 89. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have a gain been limited and a further slight decline has taken Place in prices. Great-Western, Brighton, and North-Western have each receded about as., and Metropolitan los., Great Northern A Stock, however, has improved 55.. F or Foreign and Colonial lines there has only b een a limited inquiry, and prices are not varied to any important extent. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue at firm prices. Alliance of London and Liverpool ha ve improved to 371 383 ; City Bank realise 101 102 ; Union of London, 361. ; International Finan cial shares realise :10i ; London Financial, 12 a General Credit, 47,- ; and Hudson's Bay, 98 I.

The protection expired a short time since, and Mr. T. Beard, acting on behalf of a creditor, had arrested the bankrupt on a ce sa. Mr. Beard now opposed the bankrupt's release. His Honour said he should not interfere with any order made by Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, and refused to grant the release. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DERBY SUMMER MEETING.-THURSDAY.

The latter joined issue within the distance, and immediately Maid ment raised his whip to Lufra, she swerved across the course and gave Overture a long lead, which Lufra subse quently considerably reduced, but could never get up, and was beaten half a length; three lengths between second and third ; Cutler beaten off.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John•street, Adelphi, Sir Edward Per rott, Bart., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Admiral Sir George Sartorius,Mr. W. 11. Harton, Admiral Gordon, Colonel Palmer, high sheriff of Essex; Admiral W. H. Hall, F.R.S., Captain de St. Croix, and Captain Ward, R.N., in spector of lifeboats to the institution. _ . A reward of £4 lo& was voted to the crew of the Aberdovey lifeboat of the institution, for putting off and rescuing six of the crew of the barque Wil liam Bromham, of Gloucester, which during stormy weather had stranded oc Aberdovey Bar on the 15th ult. A reward of £7 was also granted to the crew of the Newhaven lifeboat, the Thomas Chapman, belonging to the society, for saving the clew of five men of the schooner Cestrian, of Chester, which had grounded on the bar off Newhaven harbour in a gale of wind and heavy sea on the 31st ult. The lifeboat and her crew were reported to have be haved admirably on the occasion. A reward of £7 was voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat at Bride Haven, for putting off through a high surf and rendering important services to the ship Con flict, of Plymouth, which was in distress during a gale of wind off TrevoseHead, on the Cornish coast, on the 30th ult. A reward of £4 was likewise voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat stationed at the Lizard (Cornwall), for going off, in reply to signals of distress, to the rescue of the crew of a sloop which was observed in a dismasted state under the Black Head, off Cadiwith, during a strong easterly gale. The lifeboat was launched without delay, and proceeded to the vessel aginst a head wind and strong tide. In the mean time the sloop had been boarded by the crews of two pilot-boats, who afterwards stood out to sea with the wreck in tow, and subsequently reached Falmouth harbour in safety. A reward of £7 108. was also voted to the crew of the Weimer lifeboat, of the institution, for going off with the view of saving the crew of the ship Canvas-back of London, which had stranded during blowing weather on the Goodwin Sands on the 18th ult. The lifeboat re mained alongside some time, when, the weather having moderated, the vessel was got off by a steamtug and some Deal boatmen. The lifeboat was reported to have behaved remarkably well on the occasion. A reward of £5 was also granted to seven men for putting off in a coastguard boat and saving, at some risk of life, six soldiers from Hurst Castle garrison boat, which was swamped off the Isle of Wight on the 11th ult. in a heavy sea. Two men had perished before the arrival of the coastguard-boat. A reward of .£1 was likewise given to a lad, 14 years of age, named Dennis Clif ford, of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, in admira tion of his gallant conduct in plunging into the sea, and saving at the risk of his life a man, who, while bathing near that place, had got his hands entangled in some seaweed, and after struggling to get free had sunk quite exhausted. The lad, who had been attracted to the spot by the - screams of two women who had observed the drowning man, at once dived in, and succeed in bringing his body, apparently lifeless, to the shore. After some time, hoivever, he happily recovered. There were no means of assistance at hand, and a moment's longer immersion must have proved fatal to the poor man, whose hands when he was brought on shore were still entangled in the seaweed. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore-boats for saving life on the coast. It was re ported that the institution had during the past month received a legacy of £2OO from the late Mr. William Currie, banker, of Cornhill, and one of £lB9 from the late Mr. John Jolly, farmer, of Eu stone, Oxford ; and that £5O had also been received by the society from the relatives of the late Mrs. Thornton. The institution had just sent large life boats to Hastings, and to Blakeney, on the Norfolk coast, in lieu of the former boats at those places, which were deemed too small for the localities. Mr. Morrell, a member of the Society of Friends, and residing at Matlock, in Derbyshire, is making strenuous exertions to raise the cost of lifeboats from persons having the same surname. Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the society, was directed to proceed on a tour of inspection of its lifeboats on the north-east coast of England. A report was read from Captain David Robertson, the assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the institution, on his recent visit to its lifeboats on the coasts of Lan cashire, the Isle of Man, and Scotland. He found them all in an efficient state. The operations of the institution extend over the whole coasts of the British isles, and by its system of rewards it encou rages every means, either by lifeboats or otherwise, to save life from shipwreck. Thus about £1,300 a year are granted by it, as rewards for saving life from wracks, besides a considerable number of silver medals, votes on vellum, &c. Payments were ordered to be made on various lifeboat esta blishments, and the proceedings terminated. The Paris and Dieppe CanaL The llioniteur de 1 Oise states that all the surveys and soundings for this undertaking have been cora plated, and the t the important questions of feeding the canal has been solved. The line proposed by M. Sabattie stops at Gennevilliers, near Courbevoie, in the department of the Seine, where, according to the project,•the great mercantile port of Paris is to be established. From Gennevilliers it takes the direction of Ile Adam. skirting the foot of St. Gra tien, and, reaching Beaumont, cuts the Oise at Tiverny, passes under Mont Ataire, in the valley of Therain, and, following the right side of that val ley, arrives at Beauvais, whero a large basin is to be formed. From Beauvais it enters the valley of the Avelon, by which it enters Gournay ; it then follows the valley of the Bray until it arrives oppo site the mineral springs of Forges. There it turns to the right into the small valley which receives the waters of those springs, and finds a passage through the not very elevated tableland which blocks up that valley after the rivulet has found an issue below the old Abbey of Besubec. It then meets the Bethune near St. Saire, and successively arrives at Neufch atel, Arquis, and Dieppe. At the latter place it sweeps away the fetid slaughter-house, the demolition of which has already been ordered by the city ; it skirts the parsonage and Infant School of Le Pollet, suppresses the old houses of the Rue de la Lombarderie, cuts off a small corner from the cliffs, and penetrates into the port. Hence it is seen that the point of division of the canal is the plateau lying between Forges and the Abbey of Beaubec. Here, it appears, the ground is 80 metres (240 feet) above the level of Paris ; in stead of tunnelling the plateau, a system of locks is proposed, which are to be fed by hydraulic machines ; but from what source or reservoir these are to re ceive their supply has not yet been decided on. The State, it appears, has not been applied to for any subvention or guarantee of interest to the company which undertakes the work. THE DISCOVERY OF DEAD BODIES IN WHITE CHAPEL CHURCH. —The singular discovery of dead bodies in Whitechapel Church has created, as might be supposed, singular excitement in the neighbourhood. Last evening Mr. Churchwarden Lankester directed that a tho rough search should be made on the roof of the church, and J Dseph Cooper and Joseph Tomlinson, who had made on last Saturday week the first discovery, while engaged in fixing patent ventilatorsin the roof, accordingly made a careful exa_ urination of the whole. The result of this search, which was concluded at 8 o'clock last night, was that in allll coffins, three of which contained bodies of children were brought to light. Eight of the coffins were broken, and were in pieces, apparently from viol er ce ; three were in good condition, and one had written on it, in blacklead pencil, " Mrs. Foster, No. 35, Bedford-street." Two of the bodies are supposed to have been still born. It is not apparent how the third child ulnae by its death. In addition to these remains abort seven skulls of children were found, and they were stained with blood. There were some bones and duet, and the remains of clothing. A cap was on the head of one of the bodies, and napkins were also lying amongst the remains. Tho sexton (Mr. Wilkinson) states it as his opinion that the bodies pr3ve, by the wanner in which they moulder into dust when touched, that they must have been deposited on the roof 40 or 50 years ago. Other persons, however, are of opinion that at least one of the bodies was only dead 12 months. Dr. Blackuran,.who will have the examination of the bodi es , i s at present in the country, and therefore a scientific opinion is yet to be had. The police are engaged in making a most searching investigation, with a view to ascertain, first, who placed the remains in the roof of the church ; and next, whether there is any reason to believe that the children had come by their cleathb through, foul play, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A fair supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, in good condition. Both red and white qualities were in steady request, and prices ruled firm. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer. Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly; nevertheless the quotations were supported. Floating cargoes of grain met an active sale, at late rates. The market was but moderately supplied with barley. The demand, however, was in a sluggish state, at barely previous currencies. About an average business was transacted in malt, at late prices. The supply of oats was tolerably large. Generally speak ing., the demand ruled inactive; nevertheless, good and fine corn sold at previous rates. Beans and peas were without change in value from Monday, but the.inquiry for them was much restricted, Flour—both English and foreign—moved off slowly, a t late rates. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat.

The New York Herald urges the parties op posed to Mr. Lincoln's administration to combine upon the Conservative platform during the presi dential campaign, and they will be able successfully to assail Emancipation, Confiscation, and Conscrip. tion Acts and the arbitrary arrests. Such a load of odium will break down any party if the Opposition properly combine. The result of a split in the Opposition would be the continuation of Mr. Lincoln's regime. RE HUNTER AND FERRIS.-HEAVY FAILURE, This was an adjourned exaamivation meeting of th ese bankrupts, who were alkali manufacturers in Mark-lane The debts are about £15,000. Mr. Lioklater now applied that the bankruptcy should be annulled by the consent of creditors, £5,000 assets having been received, to pay 7s. in the pound to the creditors ; and both bankrupts had entered into an undertaking to pay the separate creditors 7s. 6d. in the pound. .His Honour deemed this a satisfactory arrangement, and the proceedings in bankruptcy were therefore annulled. IN RE JONES This bankrupt was a grocer, at Brompton, and this was a dividend meeting. The debts amount to £1,201, and through the exertions of Mr. Sidney Chidley assets have been realized by which the creditors will be paid a dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW• STREET. GOING TO SEE THE FIGHT. —Two men named Flannagan and Moore, were placed at the bar, charged with having a quantity of stolen property in their possession. Police-constable 142 F, said—About half past five on the morning of the Ist of September he was on duty in George street, St. Giles, when he saw the two prisoners fighting. He went up to them' and desired them to leave off, but as they refused he procured the assistance of another constable and took both prisoners into custody. While he was con veying Moore to the station-house, he saw him throw away a silver watch, but a constable picked up an article which had all the appearance of having been stolen from some person, as the bow of it was broken. Moore then put one of his hands into his pockets and immediately after he raised it to his mouth, and then he (witness) saw a portion of a gold chain hanging from it. He prevented him from swallowing it, and on his forcing his fingers into his mouth he took out a gold chain, with a locket attached, and two sovereigns and a half (produced). At the station house he said he had been to the Great Western Railway to see some friends off who were going to the fight between Mace and Goss, and he should have gone himself only he met Flannagan and they got drinking until it was too late. Police-constable, 176 F, said he took Moore into custody. He resisted very much, and as he was conveying him to the station-house he tripped him (witness) up, and suc ceeded in running away. He pursued him as soon as he was able, and on coming up with him he struck him a vio lent blow, but he succeeded, after much opposition, in getting him to the station house. Ackrill, one of the detective officers of the F division, said he had known Flannagan as a thief for years. He had been tried frequently at the Clerkenwell sessions, and only at the last of which he was acquitted for stealing a pin, He pleaded guilty to the charge before the magistrate, but as there was a former conviction against him, the magistrate could not deal summarily with the case. He was sent to the sessions, and there the jury acquitted him. Moore—How could I be guilty if the jury acquitted me ? (Laughter.) Sergeant Lambert, of the E division, said whennver the prisoner was before a magistrate he always pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him. Sergeant Shaw, of F division, believed, if time were given him, he should be able to prove Moore to be a returned convict. He had known him for somo time to be the con stant associate of thieves. Mr. Henry asked the prisoners what they had to say to ,he charge. Moore replied that he met Flannagan. They got drink ing, and afterwards, in consequence of something being said, they commenced fighting, and got locked up. Flannagan said he sold things in the street, and the money (3,i. 6d.) found upon him was the result of a little bit of a raffia that had been got up for him. He had been taken up by the police four times in a fortnight for selling things in the street, and that had completely cracked him up. He had nothing more to say than that he knew nothing of the watch or money found on Moore. Mr. Henry—The police saw you, Moore, put the gold chain and locket into your mouth. Moore—A man doesn't know what he is doing when be's drunk. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—Yon had two sovereigns and a half there as well. Moore—Yes, that's right. It was my own, asd I put it there for gaiety. I didn't want to get robbed of it. :Laughter.) Mr. Henry remanded both prisoners for a week. M A.RLB ORO UGH -STREET. A NICE FELLOW FOR THE ARMY.—THE REGULA TION AS TO WEARING THE BELL—TWO privates of the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, named James Hall and John Blay, were charged before Mr. Knox with steal ing an umbrella from a female named Ellen Holmes, in Oxford-street. It appears that the female was passing along Oxford street, when, seeing a crowd assembled in consequence of some altercation going on, she stepped into the midst of the persons collected. The soldiers then pushed her, and one of them struck her in the mouth. They then took her umbrella from her and walked off with it. She fol lowed them for some distance and spoke to the police. On the constables going up to the soldiers the umbrella was thrown on the pav ement, and the soldiers too k o ff t h e i r belts. Blay then struck Joseph Watt-, 30 D, with his belt, and Hall struck Ball, 378 .D, with his fist. The sol diers were then taken to the station. Sergeant Meyer, of the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, handed Mr. Knox a certificate to the effect that on the 14th of June, 1856, Hall was convicted of theft, and on the 17th December, 1860, was convicted for a misde. meanour, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. He had also been convicted, and sentenced to 42 days' hard labour for insubordination, and been several other times tried by court-martial. Blay had also been tried seven times by court-martial for military offences. Mr. Knox—How is it that such a man as that is kept in the army. It strikes me that he is a very unfit man. There are two convictions against him by the civil power, and a batch of offences tried by court-martial. Notwithstanding their bad character, I do not think there is sufficient evi dence to convict of stealing the umbrella. With regard to the assaults on the constable, what do you wish to say ? Hall—l am sorry. I did not use my belt. Mr. Knox—What is the regulation with regard to the belt ? Sergeant Meyer—When a man is convicted of an assault, his belt is taken from him, and he is not allowed to wear it agein till permission is granted by the commanding officer. Mr. Knox—l shall make a difference in the senten ce o f the pesoners. I shall commit Blay for two months' hard labour for the assault on the constable with his belt, a n d Hall fur six weeks, with hard labour, as he did not use his belt. THAMES. LATE SITTINGS AND DELAYS.—Mr. Partridge took his seat on the bench this day, at thirty-three minutes past 11 o'clock ; yesterday he commenced the business at twenty five minutes before 12. The delays and inconvenience to suitors and the public generally in consequence of the manner in which the business of this Court has been lately conducted has created unusual indignation. On Tuesday last Mr. Woolrych began to hear the applications at 11, and then proceeded with the night charges and magistrate te i remands. There were very few criminal cases this day ; and, at twelve o'clock, he adjourned the Court for two hours, to the great annoyance of until half emoemnpeleasinants, defendants, and witnesses attending on sum o n the . parti. ''' f th ep o n inhabitants th the subject consequence of the late hour at which the courts of the metropolis , past six one evening last week, en commenced bueiness, the court did not rise an other evening at h.- if o'clock ' d at half. past eight.

The number of night charges this day are below the average. There are three remanded cases to be heard, and 19 summonses, besides what the day is likely to turn up from the docks and the district generally. A small yacht named the Souris has just been constructed for the service of the Prince Imperial in the waters of Biarritz. The vessel is commanded by Li , )ut. Deivarades, of the Imperial navy.

Suomt.—The market has been rather dull, and little alteration can be reported on prices, the sales of West India having been on a very limited scale. In the refined market the operations have also been restricted. Common lumps are quoted 455. per cwt. COFFEE.—There has been a fair demand for Colonial, without any material alteration to notice in prices.

There are adepts in this peculiar department of what may be literally styled the literature of art. They are as erudite as skilful. The majority of amateurs--especially the fashion able sort, who are the majority—though they may have or come to have a more or less sincere love of art for art's sake, are most superficial, extrinsic connoisseurs. Their first ordinary question is, before venturing to bid, " Is it signed ?" The vendor is 'able to answer this question affirmatively oftener than he otherwise could, thanks to the professional monogrammatist. This counterfeiter has made a special study of signatures, not only materially of their i dottings and t crossings, but historically of their variations at diffe rent epochs. Thus he knows, and practices in accordance with his knowledge, that Hobbema signed his large pieces with christian and family name in lull; others simply M. Hobbema, others still Hobbema ; that the letters should be small, irregular, greyish in colour, not too well formed nor too prominent, generally in the middle foreground on the ground, and not in the right or left hand corners, rather indistinct, and without date. Rembrandt should be in the left not the right corner, in bitumen, with a long-tailed R if in full, Rembrandt van Ryn, then the date should be affixed. A Proudhon, done before he went to Italy, should be signed in capitals P. P. P. ; after that epoch, and ac eording to circumstances, Prud'hon, or Pierre Paul Prud'hon, the letters traced as if with a tremulous hand. This matter of signatures is curiously insisted on by vir tuosi, even in cases that admit no question of authenticity. I know a Diaz, most marked with his marked manner of 10 years ago—so far superior to his present generation—but by some accident not signed, sold in 1859 for 400fs. cheer fully signed next day by the master, and resold next year for COOL to the same man whose bid was arrested a twelve month before at 340 f. The next best proof of worth after high birth is good social connection. Next to signatures come seals. " You observe, gentlemen," remarks the ex pert, as he hands the dubious Corregio to the commission aire, "that the seal on the back of the frame shows this to have come from the gallery of Cardinal Fesch." And al though it is as plain as any possible combination of pike staves or hand spikes that his eminence's paler? never could have warehoused all the works attributed to that magazine, it is as true as history and the laws of trade that any one work with such sealing-wax proof of respectable local habitation and associate name sells 5, 10, 20 per cent. higher than though it lacked the cardinal's hat in red wax. All the Year Round. POISONOUS QUALITIES 01' THALLIUM. Our readers are well acquainted with the history of this new metal, which has been the subject of a dispute for priority between Mr. Crookes and M. Lamy. The latter gentleman, in a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, now announces a property of that metal, the discovery of which undoubtedly belongs to him, viz,, its deleterious powel. Having experienced certain pains, especially in his lower limbs, while pursuing his studies on thal- Hum, he was induced to attribute them to a noxious influ ence of that metal ; and in order to ascertain whether such was the fact, he dissolved five grammes of sulphate of thallium in milk and offered it to two puppies, each about two months old. But after tasting the liquid, they left it, and could not be induced to take any more. On the following day the milk, which had been forgotten in the yard, has disappeared, and it soon turned out that it had been partaken of by a dog, two hens, and six ducks ; for a few hours after ingestion the dog became sad and refused to eat. During the night it was seized wi h violent gripes, which caused it to utter piercing cries. These gripes con tinued during the morning; the dog's features had under. gone a change; its back was bent up through the effect of pain, the seat of which was evidently in the intes tines. Its hind-legs, atter a continuance of convul sive motions, became paralysed, and it died sixty-four hours after taking poison. On the day before its death a hen and six ducks died, and in those which were watched in time the paralysis of the legs was remarked. The two puppies which had scarcely tou c h e d th e m ilk h a d meanwhile shown symptoms of fatigue; by degrees they were seized with convulsive trembling, and could hardly stand, then came the acute pains which ended in death, although every precaution had been taken, apparently in good time, to save their lives, All these animals being subjected to dissection, there could not be found the slightest corrosion, or even inflammation of any consequence, only the gall-bladder of the dog was found considerably ex tended, and in some of the ducks various serous membranes, that of the liver especially, had assumed a whitish and granulous appearance. As to the nature of the poison, if there could have been any doubt about it, it would have been at once dispelled by the characteristic green band pe culiar to thallium in the spectral analysis of the crgans of the dead animals. Eight days later another hen was taken ill; its wings hung down, it could hardly walk, and when it wanted to peck its food, its neck seemed to have lost the power of bending down sufficiently, so that its beak did not reach the food. The hen was killed, and thal lium found in the intestines, but in a very small dose indeed; and the other organs did not contain any. M. Lamy next administered a decigramme (a grain and a half) of the sulphate to a dog two months old, and it died 40 hours after taking it. Hence M. Lamy justly in fers that sulphate of thallium is a powerful poison, pro ducing pain in the intestines and paralysis of the lower members. This poison and the nitrate have but little taste, and might therefore be used for criminal purposes; but fortunately there is not a poison that can be traced with more certainty through spectral analysis than this. This new method of analysis bids fair to render excellent service in cases relating to forensic medicines.—Golignani. NOVEL RETREAT FOR A BURGLAR.—Before the magistrates at Manchester yesterday, two men named Henry Smith and John Pendleton were charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. Charles Mac laren, Embden-grove, Moss-lane. Mr. Maclaren had closed his house to go into the country, but before doing so had de sired his neighbours to keep a watchful eye upon the pre mises. On Wednesday night the suspicions of three of the neighbours were aroused by seeing a light in the house, and went to search for it. They found the prisoner Smith at the head of the stairs, who told them the house belonged to him. For a time they failed to discover any one else, but seeing a bed in seine disorder two of the neighbours com menced beating the cover, one with a stick and the other with a poker. Two sportsmen beating a cover in search of other kind of game could hardly have found their labours more immediately requited, for the prisoner Pendleton started from under the clothes with a cry of pain, and was ultimately handed over to the police, along with the other prisoner. The prisoners had not taken anything from the house, but they had broken open drawers and removed goods within the meaning of the statute. The case was remanded for want of a witness to prove that the house had been locked up, but the depositions were ordered to be taken, with a view to the committal of the prisoners for trial.

Sept. 3,1863. AN ADVENTURE WITH A STAG IN THE MOUN TAINS OF KILLARNEY.—A young gentleman, named Mr. A. Geran, accompanied by his man, on the 23d inst., went to spend a night on the mountains deer-stalking. I - le lay down near a rock where he expected the deer to pass, and had remained there till about eleven o'clock, when a fine antler red deer passed by at an easy pace. He raised his rifle and took steady aim at him ; ho fired, but instead of hitting him in the heart hit him somewhere about the flank. The stag went off bleeding, and he followed at a rapid pace, when suddenly the stag, coming near the rock, wheeled at him. Mr. Geran fortunately turned round and went behind a tree. The stag went at him again, and he got across the river. His man came to the rescue and shot the stag through the heart. He is a beautiful red deer, a fine specimen of his species. Great credit is due to the man for his steady aim ; were it not for him the consequences might have proved fatal.—Correspondent of the Cork Examiner. THE SAILOR finds his thoughts set ready for him in verse, and, generally speaking, one tune fits all his songs. On a Saturday night he will go through a dozen. with no greater variation in the melody than a shake more or less at the end of a vers9. Good rollicking tunes are far more scarce than songs. The air cannot be too simple to please a sailor. It should have a sort of see-saw or lurch in. it, so that it can be sung at the capstan in time with the motion of the men. Sailors in the docks often invent their own tunes for this particular operation, and very plaintive and wild some of them aro. No one who has heard them will forget the really beautiful melodies which the sailors sing in the ports about the Bristol Channel. There is one which even a landsman cannot hear without feeling an in clination to hitch up his trousers. We are not aware that it has ever been set to music; but it is so good that a sailor never comes within sound of it without carefully shifting his quid to his hat or jacket pocket, and joining in the chorus.—Spectator. The Nantes journals mention the death of Mme. Grenet, of that place, a, the age of 104. FATAL ACCIDENT AND GALLANT ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FROM DROWNING.—At an early hour on Monday morning; while a number of ladies were bathing at Spanish Point, Miltown Malbay, a young woman of the neighbourhood, named M'Grane, who had also been bathing, having swum out a considerable distance, was evidently being carried oat to sea by the ebb-tide, and her perilous position being observed by the Misses Crowe, of Bindon-street, Ennis, and Miss Barclay, they shouted for assistance. Two of the police were promptly on the strand, but could render no assistance, as thky were not able to swim. In this state of affairs, the Misses Crowe ran in all haste to the lodge, and apprised their brother, Captain Robert Crowe, of the girl's danger. This gentle man at once jumped from his bed, and, accompanied by his younger brother, Mr. James Crowe, ran to the strand and at once rushed into the sea. At this time the girl was a considerable distance out, but these two young gentle men, having swam with amazing rapidity, reached her while she was still afloat, but just as they did so she turned on her face, and they soon perceived that she was quite unconscious. Having placed her between them they each caught hold of her, and then made the beat of their way back, and succeded in bringing her in to the shore. The girl was at once conveyed in an unconscious state to the lodge, and every effort made to revive her, not withstanding which she gradually sank, and, we regret to say, in about two hours afterwards expired, The brave and generous manner in which Captain Crowe and his brother risked their lives on the occasion excited the admi ration of all who witnessed the occurrence. —Clare Jour? al5 The Austrian journals state that the authorit• ea of the town of Ostrow, in Moravia, recently seized 19 SR( ka of flour, in each of which they found concealed:a bag c( n taining about 40Ib. of gunpowder. The sacks had c( roe from Prussia, and were on their way into Russia, Gallicia. An agriculturist in the Duchy of Holstein is stated to have discovered a remedy for the potato blight Before planting the tubercle, he washes it in chlorine water, and then lets it dry in the sun. He has, it is said, tried this method for three years, and always obtained sound potatoes,
