Maliww .- ar NEY MARKET. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Exceptional transactions are reported in the Discount Market at 31 per cent., but 4 per cent. is still generally asked for three months' bills, and the demand is well kept up. A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The dealings in tea have been suspended until the public sales, which commence to•day, Sugars have been in limited request at previous prices, while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have re mained without any material alteration in values. The tallow market has baen dull, and rather lower ratee are current for both present and forward de livery. Tile first ordinary genera/ meeting of the Char - log-cross Hotel Company was held to-day—the Hon. James Byng in the chair. The report. which "was unanimously adopted, stated that the directors had obtained a lease of the site for the hotel at the Charing-cross Railway Terminus for 1,000 years, at a cost of £65,000. The chairman stated that Mr. Lucas wal constructing the establishment, which Would be completed in a short time, and in good architectural style. The amount of specie brought by the City of New York from America is £90,834. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 55c. Firm. There is scarcely any alteration to-day in the English Funds, and the dealings are on a very reduced scale. The tendency at the latest moment appears rather favourable, owing to the receipt of higher prices from the Paris Bourse. Console are 931 for transfer, and 931 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 931 1 ; Bank Stock is quoted 238 240; India Stock is 224 226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1081 1; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1071 ; the Bonds are 19s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills are ls. dis. to 2s. prem. There is very little animation in the Foreign Market, and prices are in some instances depressed.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of a very limited character, and prices have exhibited few changes of importance. London and South Western have receded about ss. ; Great Eastern, Great Western, Lancashire, Midland, and South Eastern have each sustained previous rates. For the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been an average demand.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. ENLISTING SOLDIERS FOR PoLAxne—Liententant Styles, who stood remanded on the charge preferred at the instance of the Russian authorities for attempting to enlist yotmg men in this country to serve in Poland under the National Government, and against that of the Czar, was again placed at the bar this afternoon at two o'clock. Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Sharp ; solicitor for the defence, Mr. Lewis. Mr. Poland stated that it was not intended to call any further evidence to-day, and applied for the prisoner's com mittal for trial. Mr. Hall committed him for trial, admitting him to bail in two sureties of £l5O each, and his own recognisances for £3OO. ROBBING THE "STRONG MAN."--A dirty, ragged, dis sipated couple, who called themselves William Alison and Alice Clark, but who are suspected to be husband and wife, were charged with stealing a pewter pint pot from the Opera Tavern, in Brydges-street, opposite Drury-lane Theatre, kept by Mr. Harrison, better known as Professor Harrison, the " strong man." Mrs. Harrison stated that the prisoners came into her husband's house on the previous evening and ordered a pint of beer, They sat for sometime drinking it, and using a barrel, which stood in front of the bar, as a table. Pre sently the woman went out, at the same moment witness missed the pot, which a moment before was standing on the barrel. Witness said to the prisoner, " That woman has taken the pot." He replied, " Oh, no, she is not gone far, she will be back in a moment." Witness detained him, called a policeman, and gave him in custody. When the policeman had taken him away witness put on her bonnet and followed. In Brydges-street she found the female prisoner in a doorway watching the house. She siezod the prisoner and said, "You must come with me." The prisoner replied, " I know nothing about it," Mr. Hall—Had you told her what you wanted her for Witness—No, I only said, "You must come with me." A gen tleman who happened to be passing assisted her to convey the prisoner to the station. At the station-house the man said he did not know the woman, having only met her at the door of the tavern. The constable said he had seen them lounging about the neighbourhood of Covent-garden together from five to eight o'clock that evening. Both prisoners wished to be tried by the magistrate. The woman pleaded guilty. The mai said he was so drunk he did not know what he was doing. Mr. Hall sentenced them to two months' imprisonment. John Reeves was committed for trial for stealing a table knife, value 5d., from Mr. Lloyd's, Enterprize, Long Acre, and having a glass in his possession, supposed to be stolen from some tavern. THE MOORS AND FORESTS. (From the Scotsman of yesterday.) GLENTRUI3I,—On the 12th August, on the Glentruim moors, Mr. Hopwood, M.P,, an d , M r . F re d er ick Coventry, bagged 40i brace of gro use, 3 h ares, 3 ra bbi ts, an d 1 snipe. Saw a fair quantity of birds grown and strong on the wing. STRATBEARN.-0 wing to the favourable weather, the stock of partridges is reported to be about an average, and the shooting is expected to be very good. The hatching season began under the most favourable circumstances. There was a large number of old birds, and they were gene rally found in splendid condition. The nests were well filled with eggs —many of them containing from fifteen to eighteen. The young broods were all hatched early in the season, and the warm weather brought on the young co veys very fast. The coveys number from eight to fourteen birds each, and the birds are as large as the old ones, and in fine condition. PERTHSHIRE,—Since the opening of the grouse shooting season on the Ochils we have had bright sunshine on both moorland and valley, and the spot has been enjoyed much better on this account. On Saturday, however, the weather changed, and we had heavy rain in the morning, which prevented sportsmen getting out till the day was well ad vanced. The Earl cf Camperdown and Lord Duncan on the Frandy and Gleneagles moors have had excellent shooting. At Clendevon Captain Aytoun has enjoyed splendid sport, and has bagged about 20 brace daily. On the Carina moors Mr. Edmunds has been most successful. Capt. Grove is prosecuting the sport at Kippen daily. He has had fine bags. The result of three days' shooting to one gun on his range is about 30 grouse, and about 15 held of other game, On the Duchally range Mr. Mylne and party have had about 70 head of grouse since the season opened. On the Coulshill moors Mr. L , gan has had capital shooting. With one gun he had killed about 60 head in three days. The moors on the Ochils have now nearly all been opened, and the sport upon the whole has been far superior to that of last year. COMBIB.—On the moors in this district the shooting season was opened auspiciously, and good sport has been enjoyed by the sportsmen who have been out. The weather was bad on Friday, and the state of the ground was not favourable for sport onSaturday. On the moors of Lochearn head and Glenogle Mr. Joseph N. Walker and party bagged, on the 12th and 13th, 92 brace of grouse, besides a few hares and snipe. Mr. James Dixon and party killed on the moor of Innergeldie, on the 12th and 13th, 80 brace of grouse and 10 hares. Mr. J. D. Dewhurst and a friend shot on the hills of Clathiok, on the 12th, 24 brace of grouse, 4 rabbits, and 1 hare. Mr. R. Drummond bagged, on the 12th, at Ardvoirlich, 53 brace of grouse. Mr. R. Ewin Carwin, on the 12th and 13th, killed on Auchnagar rick Hill, 20 brace of grouse. On the moors of Lawers, Aberuchill, and Dunira, sportsmen have been very success ful. At Stronvar, Ardoch, Balquhidder, and the Killin dis trict, where the moors have been opened, good bags have been made. On the extensive shooting grounds at Loch earnside, belonging to the Right Hon. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, grouse and other kinds of game are abundant, and it is expected that the moors will he opened as soon as the weather will permit. There have been no deer-stalking in the forest of Glenartney yet, but the deer are numerous and iv fine condition. CRIEFF.—The accounts from all the moors in this neighbourhood continue to be of the most satisfactory de scription, both in regard to the abundance and fine condi- tion of the grouse. The weather suddenly changed on Fri day morning from being bright and clear to dull and hazy, the rain began to fall in torrents, which continued with little intermission up to Saturday evening. Sportsmen had to beat a hasty retreat from the moors on Friday afternoon, and on .‘Saturday, owing to the soaked state of the ground, and the flooding of the hill streams, few ventured out. In the course of a few hours each day, on the 12th, 13th, and 14th, Messrs. George Lumsden and Muir shot on the moors of Glenturret 114 brace of grouse besides a number of golden hares and plover. At Auchnafree, Mesera. Lascelles and Oliver had capital sport on the 13th, and on the 14th bagged 145 brace of grouse, besides a large quantity of hares and rabbits. Sir Hugh Hume Campbell, Bart., shot on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, to his own gun, on the hill of Monzie, 100 brace of grouse. His Royal Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh has, on the Loch Kennard moors of Grandtally, bagged since Wednes day about 300 brace of grouse, besides other game. On the range of Cannachan, Mr. G. P. Gunnis and friend continue to kill large quantities of grouse and other game daily. On the moors of Amulrec, Corriemucklock, Glenalmond, and Logiealmond, good bags have been made, The moors of Ardoch and Strathallan have not been opened yet, but good sport is expected. Swinuning Match for the Championship of England. One of those exhibitions of skill in the useful art of swimming, which its promoters in London are trying suc cessfully to popularise, came off last evening. The match was between E. B. Mather, of Manchester, the present holder of the champion's cup, and F. E. Beckwith, of London, well known for the last ten years as a successful swimmer and teacher of the art. The stake was for the champion's cup and £2OO, the course from the Doves, just above Hammersmith Suspension Bridge to the Aqueduct Bridge at Putney, a distance of two miles. Two steamers, the Victoria and the River Queen, were chartered to accom pany the race, and both were crowded with the friends and backers of the competitors. The event excited considerable interest along the river—both banks, as well as the Ham mersmith and Put ney Bridges, were covered with spectators, and in spite of the unfavourable weather a very large num ber of well-fill e d sma ll b oa t s were ou t, some bearing what appeared to be a rather dangerous number of passengers. By the exertions of two Thames police galleys, and the boats of the ref erees an d comm i ttee o f t h e L o ndon Swimming Club, this numerous flotilla was marshalled into something like order, and prevented from fouling the competitors, or putting each other in peril. The start took place from a plank lashed across the bows of the River Queen. Mather, whose vi c t ory over Gardner for the champ i on ' s cu p in June last was recorded in our columns, is a fine well-built young man of 22, who bids fair, when his physical powers are fully developed, t o b e even a fi ner sw i mm er than he is at present. His antagonist, Beckwith, is a man 16 years h is senior. Th oug h muc h l ess i n stature an d size than his youthful opponent, he had, with a fine muscular develop ment, a wi r y, en d ur i ng look that justified the good opinion of his backers. Betting was in his favour at 6to 4 before start ing —greater odds being offered before the end of the race Clad only in short tightly-fitting swimming drawers, the men took their stands on the plank, Mather on the Middlesex and Beckwith on the Surrey side, and soon after 6.30 p.m., on the signal being given, dived together. Beckwith took the water in rather the best style, coming up a few feet in ad vance. Both men swam rapidly but easily to the bridge, which was passed with Beckwith retaining the slight lead he had won at starting. They swam on their sides, facing each other, in which position the leading hand makes a stroke outward and downward, the other making the stroke along the front of th e b ody, the crown of the head acting as a cutwater. in this position, which is founded on sound philosophical principles, very little of the body is seen above the surface, and the head is supported by being almost en tirely immersed. This style of movement has the negative merit of being exceedingly graceful, and the positive ad vantage of being much less fatiguing than the ordinary mode, while enabling the swimmer to make much more rapid progress. Soon after passing Hammersmith Mather lessened the gap, and at last swam up even with Beckwith. In this position they remained some time, when Beckwith again drew ahead; but Mather again closed the interval between them. This occurred several times, but Ma ther never succeeded in drawing a head of his antagonist. At the end of the first mile, which, with the ebb tide, had been accomplished in a few seconds under a quarter of an hour, Beckwith for the last time drew ahead, widening the distance to a greater extent than he had ever done before. He appeared also to swim more buoyantly than his youth ful antagonist, who struggled gallantly but unavailingly to overtake him This relative position was maintained until within a quarter of a mile of the goal, when Mather, who was 15 or 20 yards in the rear, discontinued the contest, in conseqt.ence of feeling unwell, and from being hampered by his drawers being disarranged, and was taken into his um pire's boat. Beckwith, amid the cheers of the spectators, g continued the race to the b r ide, co mp l eting the distance in 31 rain. 58 see. On leaving the water he appeared as fresh and lively as if he had done nothing unusual. Mather, on the contrary, bore evident traces of indisposition, from which, however, he soon recovered. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF CHICHESTER.—Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital on Mr. William Melton Bridger, the Recorder of Chichester, and magistrate of Bradford-On-Avon, who met his death under melancholy circumstances. The deceased, who was a member of the United University Club, had come to town to be under the professional care of Mr. Charles Hawkins, of Saville-row. On Wednesday last he dined at his club, and was walking up Regent-street, and when near Argyle-pl ace one of Chaplin and Home's vans was turning into it; the unfor tunate gentleman, being deaf, could not hear the carman, and was knocked down by the pole, and one of the wheels passed over him, killing him on the spot. The driver, Wm. Combe, had been taken before a magistrate and discharged on his own recognisance until after the verdict. Ho now attended and made a statement. Mr. Humphries appeared for Chaplin and Horne. He said Combe had been under medical treatment since the occurrence from excitement. Several witnesses were examined, and it appeared that the accident had occurred from the deceased being deaf, and not from any negligence on the part of the carmen. The jury gave a verdict of accidental death, and said there was no blame attached to the carman. BOBBING AN ACTOIL—WhiIe the well-known actor, Mr. Herman \ruin, was enjoying the pleasures of a swimming bath, last Saturday, at the St. Ge,rge's Baths, Pimlico, some thief entered his dreesing box, and emptied his pockets of his purse, gold watch, and chain. The thief got clear off with the booty. GAME LICENSES.—It appears from a return just printed that the game licenses last year realised in net £128,442, being a decrease of £12,539 on the year 18E2. The Funds of Friendly Societies, The Registrar of Friendly Societies i n E ngland, having received from members of such societies numerous complaints of the misapplication of the funds, has thought it right to lay a case before the Attorney-General on the subject. The following is a copy of such case, and the Attorney-General's opinion thereon CASE. Under the Act 18 and 19 Vic., c. 63, s, 9, Friendly So cieties may be established for the purpose of raising by voluntary subscriptions of the members thereof, with or without the aid of donations, a fund for any of the follow ing objects (that is to say) :- 1. For insuring a sum of money to paid on the birth of a member's child, or on the death of a member, or for the funeral expenses of the wife or child of a member. 2. For the relief or maintenance of the members, their husbands, wives, children, brothers or sisters, nephews, or nieces, in old age, sickness, or widowhood, or the endow ment of members or nominees of members at any age. 3. For any purpose which shall be authorised by one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, or in Scotland by the Lord Advocate, as a purpose to which the powers and facilities of this act ought to be extended. Provided that no member shall subscribe or contract for an annuity exceeding £3O per annum, or a sum payable on death, or on any other contingency, exceeding £2OO. In addition to the voluntary subscriptions and donations by which these objects are to be carried out, by the 25th section it is enacted that contributions shall be made to de fray the necessary expenses of management, and a separate account shall be kept of such contributions and expen see. By the 24th section of the same act it is enacted that if any officer, member, or other parson, being or representing himself to be a member of such society, or the nominee, executor, administrator, or assignee of a member thereof, or any person whatsoever, by false representation or imposition, shall obtain possession of any moneys, securities, books, papers, or other effects of such society, or having the same in his possession, shall withhold or misapply the same, or shall wilfully apply any part of the same to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules of such society, or any part thereof, it shall be lawful in England for any justice of the peace acting in the county or borough in which the place of business of such society shall be situated, upon complaint made by any person on' behalf of such society, to summon the person against whom such complaint is made to appear at a time and place to be named in such summons ; and any two justices present at the time and place mentioned in such summons shall proceed to hear and determine the said complaint, in manner directed by the act passed in the 11th and 12th year of her present Majesty, chap. 43; and if the said jus tices shall determine the said complaint to be proved against such person, they shall adjudge and order him to deliver up all such moneys, securities, books, papers, or other effects to the society, or to repay the amount of money applied improperly, and to pay, if they think fit, a further sum of money not exceeding £2O, together with costs not exceeding 20s. ; and in default of such delivery of effects, or repayment of such amount of money, or payment of such penalty and costs aforesaid, the said justices may order the said persons so convicted to be imprisoned in the common gaol or house of correction, with or without hard labour, for any time not exceeding three months : Provided that no persons shall be proceeded against by indictment, if a con viction shall have been previously obtained for the same offence under the provisions of this act. By 23d and 24th Vic., c. 58, s. 9, any application autho rised by s. 24 of 18th and 19th Vic., c. 63, to be made by any person on behalf of the society, may be made by the registrar. In addition to rules for the payment of the contributions for the objects of the society, and necessary expenses of management, some friendly societies established before the passing of the 18th and 19th Vic., c. 63, and before there was any express provision for expenses of manage ment, have a rule for making contributions for incidental expenses. In several friendly societies the practice prevails of charging under the term " incidental," every expenditure incurred that does not fall on the funds raised for sickness, death, or annuities, and such charges are paid either out of the general fund or the management, or incidental expense fund, for example : • In the case of one society, the following items were charged :—Liquor at the monthly meeting, £9 ; band at the anniversary, £6; dinners to persons carrying banners, 6s. 9d.; donation to Lancashire Relief Fund, £5; grant for procession and dinner on the marriage of his Royal High ness the Princess of Wales, £49. Charges for feasting, and processions at anniversaries,the purchase or hire of banners, ribbons, aprons, and personal decorations of various kinds, for bell-ringing, dcc., also occur in the accounts of some friendly societies. QUESTIONS. Your opinion is requested—lst. Whether any of the funds raised under the authority of the 9th or 25th sections of the act can he legally applied to any of the items of ex penses above mentioned, or to any similar items ? 2d. Whether any of the funds raised under the autho rity of a rule for incidental expenses can be legally applied to any of the items of expense above mentioned, or to any similar items, and whether incidental expenses must not be such as are necessary to, or connected with, the purposes for which the society is established ? 3d. Should the opinion be that neither of the funds can be legally applied to the expenses referred to, can proceed ings be taken under section 24 against the member, or officer, paying away the funds for such purposes, for wilfully applying " the funds to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules ? " 4th. Can any member aggrieved at such expenditure being incurred commence proceedings under section 24, as being " a person on behalf of such society," or must the consent of the society be first obtained ; and if that cannot be obtained, can proceedings be taken except by the regis trar, under the 23d and 24th Vic., chap. 58, sec. 9 ? ANSWERS. Ist. I am of opinion that no part of the funds raised under the authority of the 9th or 25th sections of the aet can be legally applied to any of the items of expenses above mentioned, or to any similar items. They are entirely un connected either with:the insurance and relief, &c., men tioned in the 9th section, or with the expenses of manage ment referred to in the 25th. 2d. I think that no part of any funds raised under the authority of a rule for incidental expenses can be legally applied to any of the items of expenses above mentioned, or to any similar items. The expression "incidental ex penses " must be reasonably understood ; and, within thos e limits, may receive a liberal interpretation; but it is clear that the meaning cannot be stretched beyond matters ne cessary to, or directly connected with, the main purposes for which the society is established. 3d, Proceedings may be taken against the member or officerNaying away the funds for any of these purposes, pro vided in doing so he is guilty of a " wilful" misapplication of the funds. In order to put the wilfulness beyond a reasonable doubt, I %ould advise that the attention of the various officers, &c., charged with the custody and disburse ment of the funds, should be pointedly called to the state of the law ox the subject, and that they should be apprised that future misapplications will be treated as wilful, and punished accordingly. 4th. I am of opinion that no person, other than the registrar, can commence proceedings under section 24,with out the consent of the society to his so doing being first ob tained ; but that, independent of any such consent, proceed ings may be taken by the registrar under 23 and 24 Vic., C. 58, 5. 9. Wm, ATHERTON. Temple, July 24, 1863. Under the advice of the Attorney. General, as above men tioned, it is the intention of the Registrar of Friendly So cieties in England to take proceedings pursuant to 23 and 24 Vic., c. 58, s. 9, against any officer, &c., of a friendly society, who shall offend against the provisions of the 18th and 19th Vic., o. 63. s. 24. THE FORESTERS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE (Tuts DAY).—During this morning and forenoon the rail way stations at London-bridge and Pimlico presented scenes of much excitement from the immense crowds which assem bled at them in order to get to this fete. Every road lead. ing in the direction of the Palace was also much crowded, and although the weather was somewhat threatening, there was an immense muster at Sydenham. A grand procession took place at half-past 1, and at half-past 3 Mr. Coxwell ascended in the Mammoth Balloon, during a display of the Great Fountains. The Palace is to be illuminated in the evening, and everything indicates a successful conclusion to the " great day of the season." EXTRAORDINARY REVENGE.—Last week some labourers were engaged in cutting a new drain in the bog of Ballyegan, on the bank of the river Brosna, within two miles of this town, and about four o'clock in the afternoon they discovered a coffin about two feet from the surface. The police from the Sharavogue station were sent for, and, on removing the lid, found a body in she coffin. Information was given to Mr. Heenan, the coroner, and on the following day an inquest was held on the spot where the remains were discovered. Many rumours were quickly afloat, and the inquest was adjourned. journed inquest a careful examination of the body (whichyvoods. was partly preserved in the bag) was made by Dr. Woods. of The mystery was, however, unravelled on the Tam rod action Mr. John Hackett and a policeman, and on t e p At the a It appears of the constabulary diary at Rivers to boy was found by the side of a hay-rick, effects of cold that in the severe year of 1849 the lifelesswwhie'breodiy, w ot as a poor boy r and starvation.

VIOLENT ASiA.ULT.-A powerful young man named Bastefiel, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the follow ing violent assault. Anne Robertson, of 25, Queen's-row, Chelsea, a female of easy virtue, stated that about one o'clock that morning she was at the King's Arms, Ebury-strset, Pimlico, in con versation with a male friend, when some words arose be tween him and the prisoner, who left the house. He was followed ty her friend, when the dispute continued. She went between them in order to prevent blows, when she was struck a violent blow upon her mouth by the prisoner, which caused a severe injury on her mouth which bled very much. She was knocked down by the blow. She got up and called "Police," upon which he was taken into custody. _ _ _ Police-constable 303 B, said that he was sent for by the landlord of the King's Arms to take the prisoner into custody for causing a disturbance in the house, When he reached the house he was told of the assault by the prisoner, who had run away. Witness went after and overtook him, and was about to lay hold of him, when he gave witness a very violent blow on the face. Mr. Arnold described the assault as most unprovoked, and said he should punish the prisoner severely. He was sent to prison. for 14 dayz for the assault on the female, and for that on the constable he was fined 40s. or in default 14 days. THAMES. AN OVERSEER IN TROUBLE.—Henry Frisburg Isaacs, a Jew, the landlord of the Prospect of Whitby public house, in Wapping, Lower Shadwell, and overseer of the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Wool rych on a summons taken out by Inspector Allison, of the K division of police, which charged him with having his house open for the sale of spirits and beer, and entertaining company therein, not being travellers, contrary to the tenour of his license, and in violation of the Publichouse Act• Henry Wood, a police sergeant, No. 22 H, stated that at 25 minutes past one o'clock on the morning of Sunday, August 9, he was near the Prospect of Whitby, kept by the defendant, who let in a woman at the front doer. He listened and heard the rattling of pots and the jingling of money within the public house. After waiting two or three minutes Mr. Isaacs came to the door and looked out. He then asked ➢lr. Isaacs if he had any one inside the house, to which he replied, No, I have not." He went into the house and found eight men and six prostitutes in front of the bar. There was a pint pot and a glass each half full of beer on the counter. There was also froth of malt liquor on the counter. He asked who the people were, and the defendant said, " I don't know, take no notice of this." The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that while he was engaged in his private room a man, a common ooster monger, brought a box to the house, and his servant let him in, and at the same time other men came into the house. It was done without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Woolrych—And some women were there—pros titutes, Mr. Isaacs. Mr. Isaacs—Yes, sir; they came in with the men. I served them with nothing. Mr. Woolryeh—No doubt they were served with beer. Has the defendant ever been convicted before? Inspector Allison—Nine years ago the defendant was convicted for a similar offence, and fined 2s. costs. Mr. Woolrych—That is a long time ago. You are fined 2s. this time. Don't come here again, Mr. Isaacs. Mr. Isaacs—l will not. I am .., overseer of the parish, and will not willingly commit any infractions of the law. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.

A Reminiscence of Field-Marshal Lord Clyde. EY A PLAY-FELLOW. During the summer evenings of the last year of last century, i.e., 1800, a number of little boys, after school hours, often met to play at "sodgers," in a court or area on the west side of High-street. nearly opposite the University-buildings. Those youngsters were divided into two squads, or regiments as they were called, of about a dozen each, one of them being commanded by the writer of this, and the other by a smart comely boy named James Cum ming, who was the only son of his parents ; he had only one s'ster, who wac a few years older, and was a very pretty, handsome, and lively young lady, who became a play-actress. One evening a trig rosy-cheeked little boy, dressed in th e High land garb, and named IPLivor, appeared in Cum ming's squad. At that period the war of the French Revolution was progressing, and, young as we were, our juvenile minds were much excited by what was seen and heard daily. The marching of soldiers through the streets, the sound of drums and trumpets, and enthusiastic ideas as to the valour of Highland sal . diers ; we thought that one of them was a match for at least three Frenchmen. Therefore I said to Cum ming that I wanted the Highland boy to be in my squad, but he replied that he would not give him to me unless I would fight him for the Hielanman and win the battle. It was no sooner said than done, when the two colonels fought in the interven ing space between the squads, they being in line fronting one another. After a few fisticuffs, Cum ming said, " Own beat," when I, going to his line, said to the little Highlander, "I‘l'Livor, come over to my squad," which he did without uttering a word, for he was a very quiet, passive boy. The same Colin INl'Livor entered the junior Latin class at the High, or, as it was then called, the Grammar School of Glasgow (which was founded in the 12th century) on the following 10th day of October, 1800, he being ten days less than eight years old, having been born on 20th October, 1792, the writer of this reminiscence being a few months younger. James Cumming entered the 71st or Glasgow Highland Light Infantry Regiinent as a bugler, fought under Wellington, and was killed in the breach at Badajos when it was captured by storm on 6th April, 1812. After Colin M'Livor had been some years at the Glasgow Grammar School it is believed that he was removed by a maternal uncle to an academy in England. Clyde's name as Colin M'Livor may be seen in the class-roll, which still exists. In the year 1808 Major Campbell, a brave and veteran officer, who had been with the Duke of York on the Continent, in the campaign of 1793-4, called at the Horse Guards, when the Duke, "the soldier's friend," said to him, " Major Campbell, can I oblige you in any way ?" " Yes, your Royal Highness, I have a nephew who I think might have a commission." " Let us see him," said the Duke ; and on seeing him, said to his secretary, " Enter Mr. Campbell for an ensignancy ;" and on going out the young ensign said, " Uncle, you have en tered the wrong name." "Not at all," said the major, "you are booked as a Campbell, and a Campbell you shall be." Lord Clyde's father, Mr. John M'Livor, was a native of the Island of Mull, and died near Granton, aged 94, after his gallant son was raised to the peerage, but prior to his return from India. His mother was a Miss Campbell, whose father was a farmer in the Island of Islay. The field marshal was an honorary burgess of his native city and patron of the Glasgow Native Benevolent Society. Rcquiescat in pace. Glasgow, Aug. 15. M. H., M.D. AN ARCADIAN ABBE. In this garden at Tiffauges (says Mr. Lowtn, in his recently-published "'Wanderer in Western France") was a beautiful diminutive chapel standing near the summit—a Gothic chapel. It was quite a little gem of a building. It was of a warm, yellow sandstone, bright and fresh, and stood out all alone in the midst of the flower beds. Not far from this, and crowning the top of the hill, was a long, low white dwelling-house. Returning to the hotel, I inquired to whom belonged the garden and the chapel. "Oh," said Clemente, "you should go and see the Abbe—he will be charmed to show you his garden and his chapel. He is always pleased if any stranger will pay him a visit." She went on to tell me that the owner of this garden was an Abbe. He was possessed of considerable property, this hill-side forming a part of it. He had now no curl or parish, and he had built this little chapel out of his own funds, and said mass in it whenever he pleased. It had cost him 20,000 francs. He had laid out all the garden himself ; converting a rough, wild piece of ground into what it now was, and had spent 5,000 francs in shrubs and flowers and in making the garden. Naturally I went to pay a visit to the garden-loving Abbe. He was not at home. But his sister was, and sent me a polite message to in vite me to see the garden. On entering the gate I found myself in front of the chapel. The door was open, and the little building empty. Inside, its length was 25 feet, and its breadth 16. The altar end of it was in the form of an apse. Tall, narrow lancet windows lit it from both sides, and these were of stained glass, representing various saints and the virgin, Pius the Ninth, and some coats of arms, These latter were slightly incongruous. The ceiling was groined, and the floor was of inlaid tiles, in patterns. The body of the chapel, if one may use such a term for such a diminutive space, was quite empty—not a chair or a seat. But near the com munion rail was a Prie-dieu chair, covered with blue and red cloth, as also a good comfortable arm chair, covered with the same material, of the same colours. The altar within the rail was neat and rich, there being but two pots of flowers on either side the small cross. A more exquisite and luxu rious little chapel I never entered. The sun shone bright and hot upon its floor through the open door and, slantingly, through the stained windows, filling the fairy interior with rich and varied light; and the buzz of flies, as they sunned themselves on the floor, was the only sound in the quiet place. Two large porcelain plates, filled with some liquid, were on either side the door within, and these were black with the victims of their love for the pleasant things of this world offered them by th e th o ughtful Abbe. Here the good man came ever y when at home to say his mass t o his eiet srs e i for r small household—though I o b se rved no morni ng the household, If one might judge of chapel—he t h e Abbe e h by his belongings—his g arden and was a man of some taste, and one who He was of a bo thoroughly enjoyed the good things of thi s b family of Mortagne which had been avocets and medical men forgeneration s,life. a thriving and money making family.

D. Williams, hon, secre tary of the Aberdovey branch of the Royal National Life boat Institution, reports that on Saturday two large barks were making for the harbour, the foremost being towed by a steam tug. It was blowing hard at the time. Owing to there being a considerable fall of water on the bar, and no qualified pilot on board the vessel in tow, she grounded on a sandbank, upon which the other bark dropped her anchors. Most of the cargo of the stranded vessel was thrown over board to lighten her, but it only caused her to drift further on to the banks, when she turned broadside on to the surf, and is now waterlogged. A portion of the. crew reached the shore in one of the ship's own lifeboats. The remaining six of the crew were saved by the Aberdovey lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution. The stranded vessel was the bark Wm. Bromham, of Gloucester. ANOTHER " LITTLE WAR" AT CAPE COAST !

THE PROJECT OF FEDERAL REFORM. VIENNA, AUG. 15. The semi-official Evening Post doubts the cor rectness of the six points, stated by a Frankfort paper to comprise the main features of the Austrian project of Federal Reform. Upon the same subject, the Neue Frankfurter Zeitung says :—" The six points of the Imperial project communicated yesterday from an Austrian source are not exhaustive, and do not comprise the latest alterations. At least we are informed that a decision had not been come to on Wednesday in Vienna, whether the Directory should consist of five or seven members, and that the point was again debated on Thursday forenoon. " The Emperor is said to have stipulated that the proposals he should undertake to lay before the Princes should be drawn up in as liberal a sense as possible." The Cologne Gazette says it is reported that Duke Ernest of Coburg-Gotha has prepared a comprehen sive memorial upon the Austrian project of Federal reform, embodying therein his own views upon German unity. The Duke will probably submit this memorial to the Congress of Princes. LONDON GAZE T TE.--This Evening. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, AUG. 13. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Hon.
