IYIONE y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a moderate business in th© general dis. mount market, and the rates continuo firm. About £5,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. A highly important undertaking has been an nounced to-day under the auspices of the General Credit and Finance Company of London. It is entitled the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Ct Edit Foncier Indien), with a nominal capital of £ 2 ,000,000 in shares of £2O each. The company will grant loans on land, either for fixed periods, or upon tenures that will extinguish the debt during the currency of the mortgage, or the paymentiof an annual instalment on account of the principal, in addition to the annual interest, thus conferring on the borrowers the benefit of an eventual liquida tion of their debts. There is an extensive field for the operations of the company; and as the directors, who are sufficiently influential to cam _ mand ample support in any direction they require, will issue debentures for fixed periods, the resources at their command for enlarged enterprise will be in a measure unlimited. The board comprises Mr. S. Laing, Colonel Balfour, C. 8., Mr. H. L. Bischoff. sheim, Hon.. W. S. Fitzwilliam, Sir J. P. Grant, K.C.8., P. Northall Laurie, and others. The re markable success of the French Credit Foncier is referred to in illustration of the system it is pro posed to adopt, and the prospectus, which appears in another column, gives ample information with regard to the details of the project. It is under stood that a large proportion of the capital has been already arranged for, and the undertaking has met with a very favourable reception, the shares being 3 to 31 prem. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Reates were at 67f. 75c. —Better. The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received, per telegram from Melbourne via Suez, the results of the opera tions for the month of July, and of the quantity of quartz crushed during the four weeks in August in anticipation of the Australian mails. Quantity of quartz crushed, 3,132 tons, yielding 8 dwts. 22 grs. per ton ; receipts, £2,400 ; ordinary expenditure, £B5O ;on account new stamps, £6GO ; showing a profit of £B9O. The amount of the remittance is £1,250. Quantity of quartz crushed in the four weeks in August, 3,150 tons, yielding 10 dwts. 19 grs. per ton. Speculative business has continued very quiet in the Market for Public Securities, which are also but little resorted to by the investing classes. An extreme degree of dulness is consequently experienced. Consols remain flat at 931 .7, for money and account. The French Rentes are telegraphed at a alight advance, but it has had no effect on the markets here. The New 3 per Cent. and the Reduced Annuities are 911- 92 ; India Bonds, 108; tb ; Enfaced 5 per Cent., 1171, and Ex chequer Bills are marked par, 33. prem.; Bauk stock for account has been dealt in at 237. Although the movements in the Foreign Market have not been extensive, prices have generally tended downwards.

Business in the Railway Market has been rather inactive, but in one or two instances there has been a slight advance. London, Chatham, and Dover have improved £2 10a., and Great Eastern and Great Western 55.; South Eastern have declined 10s., and Metropolitan £l. The Foreign and Colonial linen continue in moderate request, without any material change to note in values.

JAMES'S HALL—This evening, Mr. John Caulfield, for• many years a member of the Hay market company, and now chairman at the Oxford Music Hall, takes his benefit at the above hall. Mr. Caulfield has recently been ill, and many professional friends have rallied round him in response to his appeal for their co operation. A first rate list of vocal, instrumental, and miscellaneous talent is announced for the occasion. THE SKELETON OF A WHALE caught at Cadg with, has been cleaned and forwarded to London, having been sold to the Crystal Palace Company to be set up in their grounds. It was announced yesterday that Mr. George Thomson, of the firm of Catto, Thomson, and Co., shipowners, of Aberdeen, had absconded, leaving defalcations to a very large extent. The firm are stated to be perfectly solvent, and will consequently carry on their business as usual. Daring the last few days there has been very little animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The dealings in tea have been deferred until the public sales, which commence to-day. Sugars have been, however, in better demand, and good qualities have advanced 6d. to is. per cwt. Coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have remained at about previous rates. In the Tallow Market there has been a more cheerful tone, and prices have shown an upward movement for both present and forward delivery. CONFEDERATE REVIEW.—The Southern papers bring an account of a review of General Ewell's corps by Gen. Lee. A correspondent of the Petersburgh Express gives a description of the scene :—" The bugle soon announced all in readiness, and Gen. Lee soon came riding up, and now the cavalcade, composed of Gen. Lee and staff, Gen. Ewell and staff, and the division commanders started off at a swift gallop to the right of the first division, and soon they are seen coming down the front of the line, each brigade coming to a • present' as the cavalcade passed, and as they swept by us the strains of music were swelling up along the line. They passed around the left of the line, dashed back to the right of the second division, and re • viewed the second and third divisions in the same manner as the first, and once more came back to the original start ing point, the riders and horses both looking much jaded, the distance they had gone so swiftly over being fully nine miles. General Leo immediately dismounted and came to his carriage, which was only a few steps dis tant, and in which were two of his daughters, and in a few minutes he called to his side many of his generals, among them Generals Ewell, Longstreet, Hill, Stuart, Wilcox, and others, and gave his daughters an introduction to them. The Generals now took a stand just by the flag, and the troops commenced passing in review before Gen. Lee, and as each flag, in passing, would be lowered as a salute, the General, in res ponse, would t a k e hi s h at o ff . A n d now I got a c l ose view of the men composing this gallant corps. here passed those men who had so often followed General Jackson in his numerous battles, and who had won for him that re nown which will live through ages to come ; and now passes Jackson's old division, at present commanded by the gallant General Johnston, and here comes the' Stonewall brigade,' which was composed of veteran -looking soldiers. Many of the banners of the corps bore evidence of having been oft borne to the broza amid the whistling of bullets, and all of them contained some dozen or 15 names to mark the diffe rent battles the respective regiments had distinguished themselves in. One giment, ta w s as n c d f a o rri c e o d lo b u y rs b, Colourelon g s in er g to the 21st Sergeant tjohn s i t s a a n t d p i r n e g s e n h t e p l e o r s f t o rm his- , tw w i ll th o ing one of the most gallant acts that has y e t ex h ibited itself V Br i e rg n i t n , ifa Regiment, of RichmonfdorC,inti i ri g ht t he arm Confederateat the battle returned to his regiment, and being offered a discharge re fused to receive it, but asked of his colonel permission to again carry those colours that had oft before proudly waved over his head. His colonel consented , and the affair being mentioned to General Johnstone, he took the colours and presented them to the young man in person as a re war d f or the noble patriotism which prompted him to such a n act of self-denial and love of country. The review being now over, the crowd of spectators dispersed, and the troops, with three hearty cheers for General Lee, commenced wending their way back to their camps." SHARE MARKETS—This day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, • COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE JOHNSON-APPLICATION FOR RELEASE. This bankrupt was a solicitor in Great Marlborough street, and applied some time since to be released from cus tody, but Mr. Commissioner Fane refused to grant it, on the ground that the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action. Mr. Chidley now renewed the application. He said the allegation was that the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action, but the fact was he disputed the case and a summons was taken out before the Master to hear the grounds of dentfta, but the bankrupt was unable to attend, as he was summoned for the same hour to the police court at Bow-street in a criminal case, and in consequence of his absence in the suit the case was treated as undefended, and judgment went against the bankrupt in default. The learned gentleman contended that a vexatious defence was generally treated as a 'matter of discharge, and net against the release ; but even if it were, the bankrupt had been in prison for two months, which no doubt would be deemed by the court a sufficient punishment. Mr. Dowse, for the opposing creditor, contended that as the case had originally been before Mr. Commissioner Pane, the matter should stand over for his consideration. His Honour asked whether, under the Act, there was any power for one Commissioner to vary the order of another Commissioner. Mr.Chidley thought it discretionary. On a change of cir cumstance the original application had been refused, pro• bably because no assignee had been chosen, and ho could well understand, indeed, it was frequently the case that the Commissioner would not grant a release until there had been an opportunity of consulting the assignee. His Honour—Mr. Commissioner Fane refused the appli cation, and I do not consider I have the right, or am com • petent, to reverse his judgment. Mr. Chidley—Then the bankrupt may have to remain is prison 5 or 6 weeks longer. His Honour—You can communicate with Mr. Fane, and if ho has no objection, I will entertain the question, but not without. The bankrupt was therefore sent back in custody. RE CORNER, This bankrupt was a solicitor in the Kent-road, and this was an adjourned meeting for last examination and dis charge, but the bankrupt did not appear, nor could his soli citor account for his absence. His Honour granted an hour's delay, and as the bank rupt did not then appear, the examination was adjourned sane die. IN RE SYKES. This bankrupt was a county court bailiff at Mile-end, and this was a meeting for discharge. Mr. Aldridge said that the bankrupt, when in debt him self in £llO, had become security for his father, and almost immediately afterwards became bankrupt, but he (Mr. Ald ridge) didn't oppose. His Honour said that it was very wrong for a man to become security even for his father unless he knew he could pay his own debts, but as there was no opposition the bank rupt might take his discharge. MARIIETS—This Day. HAY MARR.ETS. ger was likely to result from the wound, and the:sergeant said he had not heard so. Mr. Knox said he would take the prisoner's own recog nisance to appear to morrow at two o'clock, and in the meantime the case could be looked into, as he did not like such cases to go off in such a manner. ANNOYING AN HOTEL KEEPER.—EiIen Young, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with annoying M. Giovanni Chialey, proprietor of the Hotel do l'Etoile, 16, Great Windmill-street, and with being drunk and dis• orderly. M. Chialey said the prisoner had formerly been his ser vant, and last night, between nine and ten, she came to the hotel drunk, and made a great disturbance, and he was obliged to give her in charge. Prisoner said I\l- Chialey was the father of her child, and he had not lately given her any money. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether she affiliated the child, and she sail she did, but that she had had no money for 12 months. 344 A said that on going to the hotel the prisoner refused to go away unless the complainant gave her £2O. The whole hotel was in an uproar, and a large crowd of persons assembled outside in consequence of the prisoner's conduct. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether she would promise to keep away from the hotel, and take the proper remedy to recover her money due for the child. If she did not, he should reluctantly, as complainant was the father of her child, have to send her to prison. The prisoner having given a promise not to go to the complainant's again, was discharged, MARYLEBONE. A BRUTISH MOTHER—ATTEMPT TO DROWN HER CHILD.—A coarse, dissipated-looking woman named Mary Mara, of Queen-street, Drury-lane, costermonger, was charged with attempting to drown her child in the Regent's Canal. On the prisoner being placed in the dock, William Andrews, 241 S, said the witnesses were not yet in attendance. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Why are they not here ? Andrews—l cannot tell. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—You ought to have had them here. Andrews--They promised to attend. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Then you ought not to have the prisoner brought up till the witnesses were here. Mr. Mansfield—Let us hear what you know about it. Mr. Tate—You should bring your witnesses in. Andrews then said—l was on duty in the Park-road, Regent's-park, between seven or eight last evening, and noticed a crowd of people looking over the canal bridge, On looking over myself I saw the prisoner held by several men, and close by was a child crying.: The men informed hi m in her presence that she was just in the act of dropping her child over the railings into the water when they pre vented her. He at once took her into custody, and on the wa y to the station she said " that she meant to drown the you ng b--, if the men had not come up as they did." gr. Manstield—Was she drunk ? Andrews—She was, your worship. I took the child to the workhouse, when Mr. Douglas, the master, said that that was over the twentieth time the child had been brought there. The child had been crying bitterly all the time by the side of the mother, and the latter kept pulling it and es claiming, you little --- what was you naughty in the streets for. gr. Tubbs, assistant-overseer, said the prisoner wag a most disreputable woman ; always drunk. When her child bas been brought into the house, and is made nice and clean , then she comes and claims it. Dir. Mansfield remanded prisoner for a week. The poor little child (about 3 years of age) was then taken from its unnatural mother to be taken to the workhouse. its F hrieks and cri es were pitiful to hear. GarGING A WIPE'S EYES OUT.—A brutish looking fellow , named William Jones, residing at 10, Barratt's court, was charged with the following shocking brutality to his wife. Saint, 1 8 3 D, said the wife was in the hospital, and quite unable to attend. The medical gentleman was also too busy to give a certificate this morning. itir. gansfield—What has he done to his wife ? Saint — When I saw the wife, at an early hour this morn ing, she Was screaming "murder." Her eye was right out of the s ocket, and hanging down her cheek, there was also a quantity of blood. The doctor says she will be totally blind. About four y ears ago he gouged her other eye out, and she has been q u it e b lind in that ever since. Dir. Mansfield r emanded the prisoner for a week. r. THAMES. scANDA.Lous PLUNDER OF A SAlLOR.—Margaret Maynard, aged 22, a notorious thief, who has decoyed many sailors into the dens of infamy in and near " Tiger Bay," St. George's - in•the-East, and robbed them, was charged with connected with o th ers i n stea li ng a s il ver watc h and meta l guard valued a t £ 5 10s., £2 10s. in cash, and wearing a pparel, from th e person of John Conolly, a seaman, no w staying at the Sailor's Hom e . i t being The seaman was inveigled into an infamous house, No. 1, Blacksmith's -ar ms - court, St. George's •in-the-East, where the pr i so ner occupi e d an apartment. He was hocussed, plundered, and turned into the street. He was found by a police-constable in the street, stripped of everything, with the exception of his shirt. This occurred on Wednesday night, and the police have since endeavoured to trace the three infamous women who perpetrated the outrage and robbery, but have only been enabled to arrest the prisoner. deposed to b e i ng i n her company, treating her The with seaman liquor, and going home with her. There were two otherwomen there. He was well plied with liquor, and soon became insensible. He lost ev er ythi ng h e h a d a b ou t him, The pr isoner, o n being taken into c us t o dy, sa id if w ca she wa s not locked up she would find the sailor's watch, money, an d clothes, and th at two other girls had his things. Samuel Skipper, a p ol ice - constable, said the prisoner was a very hardened thief, and had been frequently in custody. The prisoner --I am as innocent as the baby just born. ge—l shall commit the prisoner for trial. I h will not rel ax i n their exertions to appre hend r d . t he theFa police other women concerned in the robbery. A G SAILOR PLUNDER ED OF HIS H ARD EARN ` Irishman, n amed Oliver Ulaney, his wife, s Catherine, his daughter, J u li a, were brought before Mr. Partridge , char g ed with stealing a p oc k e t-b oo k con taining £3O, and papers, from William Johnson, a seaman. The prosecutor, a respectable and intelligent man, was boatswain o f the ship Knight B ruce, and was paid off at Liverpool. li e came to Lond on on Saturday, and met with the prisoners, o f whom he had some previous knowledge, on the same afternoon. He accompanied them to the Hoop and Grapes public-house, in Cable -street, and he had at that time a pocket-book containing three £lO Bank of Eng land notes, and the certificates of service and disoharge from captains of ships in which he sailed for 13 years. He was quite sober. Two woz..en were in the same house. H e he a left in the Hoop and G rapes two hours. Soon after t h er e he missed hi s pocket-book. He was cer tain it was in his possession when the entered the house. He gave information to the police on Sunday morning. l‘ t i give information r trid ge said it was muc h to be regretted he did no of his lo ss i mmediately, and he was sorry the sailors did not av ail themselves of the Savings iie a Banks in those excellent institutions, the Sailors' Homes in 'Wells-street and the East India-road, where they could deposit their money and receive interest for it, or draw it out w hen they require d a ny. The not es were no t f oun d, o f Course. A Police-constable —No, sir, Mr. Partridge—And I am afraid never will be. The seaman was questioned by the Magistrate, and said he employed the male prisoner to d o a li tt l e j o b f or hi m some time ago on his return from a former voyage. He wanted a key made for his chest on Saturday, and sent for him. Police-constable Samuel Skipper, 136 H, said that when he apprehended the prisoners yesterday they declared they knew nothing of the pocket-book and notes. The Claneys left the Hoop and Grapes at the same time as the prosecu- . tor. He went one way and the prisoners another. Mr. Partridge said there was no evidence to justify him in detaining the prisoners, and they must be discharged. They could be taken again if any more evidence was forth coming. He hoped the police would be able to trace the sailor's notes and papers. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £3 Os to £4 12s; clover, £4 Os to £6 Os; and straw, £1 8s to £1 16s per load. Trade firm.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION HOUSE. THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY THil HUNGARIAN SIGIS MUNDDITRICHSTEIN.—In consequence of the apprehension of Ditrichstein having become known a great many persons assembled in the Justice Room this morning in the expec tation that the prisoner would undergo a public examina tion, but in this they were disappointed, as the necessary arrangements for the conveyance of the prisoner from Vienna, where he is at present, will delay his arrival in this country fcr two or three days. The capture of Ditrichstein has, it appears, not been effected without the greatest difficulty and caution; the persons engaged in the discovery of the fugitive being Detective Moss, of the City Police, and Mr. Pollaky, of George-street, Mansion House, the latter having been employed by Messrs. Mullins, the solicitors, of the Poultry, to accompany the, officer as interpreter. Oa quitting London a short time ago Mr. Pollaky and the officer proceeded at once to the continent, feeling certain that Ditrichstein would endeavour to make his escape in that direction in preference to America or Australia. On arriving at Presburg it was discovered that the wife of Ditrichstein was living there, and alao that her husband had been seen in the neighbour hood, but, on inquiry, it was found that they quitted the place, when and where no one could tell. A clue, after much difficulty, was again discovered, and immediately the officers left Presburg, proceeded to a town on the frontiers of Austria, from thence to I'esth in Hungary, where Ditrichscein's wife was found to have joined her husband, who had previously arrived there. In a very short time after the officers had made this discovery the Austrian authorities were at once communicated with, and Detective Moss and the officials proceeded to the residence of Ditrichstein and there secured their man, and also nearly the whole of the money stolen. On being taken into custody, Ditrich. stein was at once conveyed to Vienna, in charge of Con stable Moss, to undergo the necessary preliminaries previous to his departure for England. BOW-STREET. DIBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—CharIes Jones, clerk and collector to Messrs. Deeds, wholesale leather sellers, of New Oxford-street, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. Mr. Lewis (of Marlborough-street) said the prisoner had been in the service of the firm mentioned for about a year, and his duty was to collect money due to the firm in the usual manner. The prisoner was only apprehended last night, but ho was prepared to prove one case, and then he should ask for a remand, in order that the accounts might be thoroughly investigated. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. Weaver, of Woolwich, said—On the sth of Septem ber I paid the prisoner £4, and £6 3s. 6d. on the following Saturday, it being the balance of my account. I never re turned any goods in lieu of payment. John Gover, cashier of Messrs. Deeds and Co., 451. Oxford-street, said the prisoner had been in their employ about 12 months as traveller and collector. His salary WAS £2 per week with his expenses. His duty was to receive moneys on part of the firm, and, when received, to enter them in a rough credit book, and hand the sums to me. Oa looking at the sth of September 1 find no entry of £4 received from Messrs. Weaver, of Woolwich. He has never paid ever that amount. He made an entry of £6 3s. 6d. as received from that gentleman, and then he said, You will observe that this is the balance of Messrs. Weaver's account, and he has returned some goods that he did not require." The stock was searched, but the goods mentioned could not be found. . . Mr. Lewis—That is all the evidence I propose offering to-day. The defalcations, it is believed, will turn out to be something very considerable. Tho prisoner was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. A THIEF ON THE CRYSTAL PALACE LlNE,—Thomas Donovan, a low looking fellow, was placed at the bar, charged with a robbery upon the Crystal Palace Railway. Mrs. Mary Hemmings said--Between five and six o'clock last evening I was a passenger on the Crystal Palace Rail way. I got into a third class carriage at Lower Norwood, to come to Victoria station, but before I arrived there I missed my purse. There were several persons in the car riage, and amongst them the prisoner, and he sat nest to me part of the time. Mr. Arnold —When had you last known your purse was safe ? Prosecutor—lt was safe when I got into the carriages. I missed it between Balham and 'Victoria or Battersea, and returned and mentioned my loss to my friend, and again examined my pocket. When we arrived at Victoria I was satisfied it was gone, and I suspected the prisoner, for the moment we got to the Victoria station he passed the per sons sitting between him and the door, and jumped out as soon as he could, but I followed him, and accused him of stealing my purse. He said he was an henest lad, and I might search him, for he had done nothing of the sort. I told him I knew he had got i t, and th en he said "You don't wish to prosecute me if I give you up the money ?" He then gave me 45., and I told him that that was not enough, that there had been 9s. in my purse, and I wanted the remainder and the purse, but he said he had not got it. He St as then taken into a room at the station, where he gave up 58 more; he took it out of his coat, and when asked for the purse he said he had thrown it under a seat in the carriage. I produce the pocket which I worn ; it has been cut with a knife. Vim. Street, assistant guard ) said that when he heard the prosecutrix complain of be i ng robbed he took the pri soner into the cloak-room• Ho out the lace of one of his boots, and taking it off produc3d ss, He had before pre tended that, he had given her up all her money. John Parish, 140 B, said he picked up the purse in the carriage. Prisoner was remanded. 31ARLBOB 4 OUGH - STREET. STABBING.—Thomas Baldwin, of 22, Trafalgar-street , Walworth-road, house decorator, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with wilfully stabbing John Morris, a carpenter, residing in Clare-court, Drury-lane. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Sergeant CU ford, 9 E, said the prosecutor was not present. Mr. Knox asked the sergeant what was the nature of the wound ? The sergeant said he uuderstoood that Morris and the prisoner had quarreled at a public-house respecting a female with whom they had been drinking, and that in the course of the quarrel the prisoner stabbed Morris in the head. Wheu Morris came to the station his head was bandaged, and he stated that the injury was done with a knife, Mr, Knox asked the sergeant whether ho heard any dan- Victoria, MISCELLANEOUS.

She pissed the two Dutch ships. exc h anged signals with them, and then shaped her cours e for the Hahnernan, which was then on the port tack, and heading to S.S.W., with the wind S.E. Th e brig then fired a blank gun, and the British colours were immediately hoisted on the Hahneman, but she still kept on her course. The American now fired a abetted gun, which fortunately fell astern ; afterwards another shot dropped just ahead. The Hahneman then lay to, and the barque rapidly gained upon her, and while she was hauling up her mainsail, the privateer again fired—this time, two shotted guns—one of which nearly reached the Hahneman, falling in a line with the foremast, and the other passed over the poop. close by the captain and mate. The Hahneman was immediately brought to and waited the approach of the unwel- come stranger. When she was within about 400 yards, a boat was lowered, manned by an officer and four men, heavily armed, three of whom boarded the Hahneman, and demanded her papers. The officer was remonstrated with by the captain as to his mode of procedure, who replied that if he was sure she was a Federal ship, they would have sunk her rather than let her escape. The ship's papers were strictly scrutinised, with which the officer ex pressed himself satisfied. The officer, upon inquiry, said his ship was the Tuscaloosa, Captain Low, and had run the blockade of Charleston after the defeat of the ironclads, and had been fifty days out; she had not captured any vessels in that time, although several had been boarded by her. The officer, Mr. St. Clair, a native of Virginia, then left the ship together with his men, and the Hahneman pro ceeded on her way. A Lady Refusing to be Sworn, At the sitting of St. Alban's County Court, last week, a person named Crisp brought an action against a Mrs. Sarah Pitkin for the recovery of Xl5. As the defendant was in the service of Lady Glamis, the plaintiff's solicitor proposed to call that lady, who was seated on the bench to the left of the judge, to give evidence as to the amount she paid the defendant. When Mr. Earle—the solicitor— mentioned the name of Lady Glamis, she said : What Mrs. Pitkin has said as to what I have paid her is quite correct. Mr. Earle required her ladyship to be sworn to give evidence on the point. Lady Glamis—l decline to take an oath ; what I have said is right. His Honour—The law prescribes a certain form in giving evidence, and all ranks of society, from the Queen upon the throne to her most humble subject, are expected to conform to the law. There is a previ sion made to meet the case of the people called Quakers and others who object to oaths on reli gious grounds. Do you belong to the Quakers ? Lady Glamis (smiling)-oh, no, I am not a Quaker, and I do not object on any religious grounds; but I shall not take an oath on such a frivolous matter. His Honour—My lady, now be advised by me and be sworn. If you know nothing more on the mat ter than has been said, you can be sworn, and then say so. Lady Glamis—l am very firm ; 1 shall take no oath; my word is as good as my oath. I think it would be a desecration, and taking God's name in vain in such a case. His Honour—Cer tainly the word of every good man ought to be as sacred as his oath ; but the law requires that evi dence should be given on oath, and I cannot take it otherwise. Mr. Earle—l certainly require that Lady Glamis should be examined in the way the law prescribes, and I am greatly surprised that she refuses. His Honour—l am not only surprised but grieved that your ladyship refuses to do what the law requires of you. You set a sad example to those in more humble stations in society, and I must beg of you to leave this court. Her ladyship imme diately left the court. A RAILWAY ACROSS THE SOLWAY.—The initia tory steps have just been taken in a railway project that may prove one of vast importance not only to Annan but to the nation at large, and one that, if it is ever accom plished, will be as great a triumph of engineering skill as this age of wonders can boast of. We allude to a survey which is now making for a railway designed to cross the Solway from near Annan to Bowness, thence to proceed along the shore to Morecambe Bay—the estuary of the rivers Waver and Wampool—which it will cross, and be the means of reclaiming about 600 acres of land, and will thence continue along the shore to Meryport, where it will form a junction with the Whitehaven and Maryport Railway, and thus become a portion of another trunk line from the midland and Lancashire and Yorkshire districts to Annan, where it will be placed in connection with all the railway systems which traverse Scotland. A section of the Solway at its narrowest part, immediately opposite Annan, was taken on Monday, when it was found that, at a few feet below the overlying sand, there was a level plateau of tile or clay admirably adapted for the erection of works similar to those by which a railway has been successfully carried across Morecambe Bay on the Westmoreland and Lanca shire coasts, and other places, by Mr. Brunlees,:th e engi neer, who is the projector of the proposed railway across the Solway.—Annan Observer. OLD ABE'S LAST.—A few weeks since a colonel was dismissed from the service by order of the Pre sident, upon charges of disloyalty. Th e colonel, feeling that he had been grossly misrepre sented by malicious enemies, secured papers from a number of our Generals and other influential men, refuting the c harges and requesting his reinstatement, and repaired to Washington to submit his case to the President. The papers were examined, an inter view was appointed, and the colonel found himself cordially received by the President, and informed that injustice had been done him, and that he should be reinstated. The Pre sident then added, " Now, colonel, I know you to be one of my most bitter political opponents, but I prop ose t o promote you to a brigadier - ge neral provided you will allow me fully to test your loyalty beyond what papers you have produced. If you are a loyal man and a war democrat you can surely have no objection." The colonel, as a matter of course, felt highly elated at this unexpected favour, and earnestly stated that ho was prepared to submit to any requirements calculated to test hi s loyalty, and expressed his delight in complying with the demand, since his Excellency has shown such confidence in hi m as to honour him with such an enviable position. cg Well, colonel," replied Old Abe, as a merry twinkle danced in his eye, " I promote you to the command of a negro brigade, and I hope you will prove yourself as loyal as you are represented, and do honour to the high trust to which you are assigned." The democracy of the colonel was violently jarred at this announcement, and, stretch ing himself to his full length, he replied—" Mr. President, I thank you for the tem7orary plea sure y ou h ave conferred u pon me of building up an air castle of such extraordinary dimensions, and thus sweeping it dbwn with one stroke. While I admire the joke, I most respectfully beg leave to decline serving in any such damned capacity."—.New York Ilerald. The French Academy of Fine Arts held its public annual sitting on Saturday, M. Jouffroy presiding. After the execution of an overture composed by M. Guiraud, pupil of Messrs. Halevy and Barbareau, and the reading of the report on the works of the students of the French Academy at Itome, M.

The simple interest of one cent, at 6 per cent, per annum, from the commencement of the Christian era to the close of the present year 1863, would be but the trifling sum of 11 dollars 17 cents and 8 mills ; but if the same principal, at the same rate and time, had been allowed to accumulate at com pound interest, it would require the enormous number of 84,840 billions of globes of solid gold, each equal to the earth in magnitude, to pay the interest, and if the sum were equally divided among the inhabitants of the earth, now estimated to be 1,000 millions, every man, woman, and child would receive 84,840 golden worlds for an inheritance. Were all these globes placed side by side in a direct line, it would take lightning itself, that can girdle the earth in the wink of an eye, 73,000 years to travel from end to end. And, if a Parrot gun were discharged at one extremity while a man was stationed at the other—light travelling 192,000 miles in a second ; the initial velocity of a cannon ball being about 1,500 feet per second, and in this case supposed to continue at the same rate; and sound moving through the atmosphere at 1,120 feet,in a second—he would see the flash after waiting 110,000 years ; the ball would reach him in 74 billions of years; but he would not bear the report till the end of 1,000 millions of centuries, Again, if all these masses of gold were fused into one prodigious ball, having the sun for its centre, it would reach out into space in all directions 1,732 millions of miles, almost reaching the orbit of lifer schel or Uranus , and if the interest were continued till the end of the present century, it would entirely fill up the sola r system, and even encroach 500 millions of miles on the . t, do mains of the void between the planet Neptune, whose or e D n i_ at the distance of 2,850 millions of miles from the fot o of circles our whole system of worlds.
