SHARE MARKETS—This day. ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx. Although the supplies of money in the general discount market have been reduced by the absorp tion in the agricultural districts, there is still an abundance for the ordinary requirements of trade. Discounters are nevertheless enabled to enforce full rates, and very little business is negotiated under the Bank minimum of 4 per cent. The demand is generally active. A sum of 50,000 sovereigns was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation to Concan tinople. Two O'CLOCK. With a very limited amount of business the Funds to-day have continued in a tolerably firm position, the market, though exceedingly dull, being rendered healthy by a variety of favourable cir cumstances, all tending to induce confidence in the future prospects of home affairs.

In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was an advance in the rates on Holland. The condemnation of the ship Peterhoff by the Admiralty Prize Court at New York is just now attracting a great deal of attention in mercantile circles here. Messrs. Bennet and Wake deny, in Coto, the allegations put forward by the Federal authorities, that the vessel had on board any con traband of war; that her papers were simulated; 6. 8 and they assert that the evidence adduced was in direct opposition to the verdict recorded. It is 2 universally believed that the seizure of the Peterhoff bad been premeditated, because she had been pre- s viously connected with Confederate ports, and a 2 desire had long ago been manifested by the Wash- s ington officials to obstruct the British trade with Matamoras, 1 Bir..

(From the Dublin Express.) A monster meeting of Irish "Nationalists" was convened on Saturday, on the heights of Slievena mon Mountain in the county of Tipperary, a loca lity rendered historical during the Repeal agitation of 1848. On the highest point of the mountain is a rock which, ever since that period, has been known by the name of " Meagher's Rock," and this, it was determined, should be the rallying point. The un favourable character of the weather prevented large numbers who would otherwise have attended ; but about 700 were present, principally of the labouring class. On the topmost pinnacle of the mountain was a flag of red, white, and green, on which an Irish harp without the crown was depicted. At about four o'clock Charles J. Kirkham, Esq., of Mullinehone, was called on to preside. Tee CilefemeN rose amid loud applause. He said that the object of the meeting was, in the first place, to renew their vows never to cease until they gad achieved the independence of Ireland. (Great cheers.) In the mean time, the nationalists or Tip perary were ready to give aid to any non-parlia mentary movement which was likely to do good to the poor, oppressed, and down-trodden tenants-at will of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the cause of Irish nationality could be served much by speech-making. if Irishmen would serve their country, they must earn for themselves a very eifferent character. They must copy the examples set by other oppressed people, and begin in earnest to woo the goddess Freedom in the only way in which she ever would be won. A Volcg—Hurrah for the Poles, as an example ! (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN continued—He would be told that this was dangerous, but the goal could never be won without danger, sacrifice, and suffering. He solemnly declared and believed the dungeon and the scaffold were mercies compared with the cup of gall and wormwood which the Irish patriot was forced to drain, and the bitterest drops in which were poured by hands which his heart told him ought to be the first stretched out to aid his efforts and to bless them. Let us learn to look our situation steadily in the face_ The Irish race is strong in America ' in the Colonies of England, an d i n t h e heart of England itself. Let us be in earnest, and we shall be as strong at home. The chairman then referred to the names of the men of 1848—to Michael Doheny—may his memory be ever green among us ! for a braver Irishman Tip perary never nursed, and a nobler heart than his never crumbled into dust—(cheers)—to the gifted young tribune, Thomas F. Meagher, and to the descendant of the ancient Feenian chiefs, the gallant O'Maheny ; and he hoped that ere long the modern Feenians would assemble in their might with the tried and trustedOeMahony at their head. (Cheers.) Mr. GILL, of the Tipperary Advocate, proposed the following resolution—" Resolved, That Parlia mentary agitation in this country be discouraged and discountenanced, inasmuch as all hopes of re dressing the wrongs of Ireland and saving her from utter ruin through the agency of the London Parliament are now and for evermore senseless and illusory. By all true Irishmen these wrongs are felt more keenly than words can describe, though means of redressing them for the pre sent we have not in our hands; but we watch and wait for their coming with eager hope, resolved, as God may aid us, to grasp them when within our reach, and to use them as the means of our salva tion." Did they demand anything unreasonable ? No. They merely demanded what was given to every English colony—self-government, self-legis lation. Yet they were denied it—(hear)—and lately Lord Palmerston said in his place in the House of Commons, that he would not interfere between Irishmen, but would let them fight their battles out between landlord and tenant. (Hear.) No; Eng land carei nothing for Ireland, and the British Minister did not care if 20 lanalords were shot a day, if 50 peasants were hanged for every one of them. A. VOlCE—There would want to be more of them shot. (Hear, hear.) Another VOICE—So there will. (Cheers, and cries of " Down with the landlords.") Mr. GILL—And the proof that they do not want to prevent them is, that they never would have supplied the police with swords, belts, and long rifles if they wanted them to catch thieves. No; they want the police for the purpose of shooting down the remnant of the Irish population. (Hear, and yells.) That is what the police wear the rifles and swords for, and not to detect the murderer and the assassin. The speaker then referred to the Irish aristocracy, whom he characterised as a set of bloodthirsty hounds, the meanest creatures in the form of bipeds on the face of creation, having no idea of freedom or fatherland. But, thank God, there was hope for Ireland still. He saw a thousand honest hearts at that meeting, with the representatives of 50,000 more. He called upon them to counsel their comrades and brothers to stay at home, and not by flying to Ameeica. A VOICE : They will come back. (Hear.) Mr. GILL : They will come back with a vengeance. He concluded amid loud applause. The resolution was seconded by Mr. RODERICK KICKHAM. Mr. FINNERTY, a young Nationalist, who stated he had come from the north riding of Tipperary, next addressed the meeting in a vehement speech, and called on Irishmen to imitate the example of Poland. Mr. Gill had denounced the Irish aristo• crats. They did not want such men. They wanted meu whose hands were hardened by manly labour, whose hearts were stout and brave, and whose hands would not be blistered by the pike-handle, (Cheers.) He. was not there to counsel the Irish people to rush into a senseless resolution, or follow a wild goose chase, but Irishmen should remember that no nation ever earned independence without spilling more or less blood. (Great cheering.) If after years of petitioning the British Parliament—. if after years of sending repres3ntatives and misre presentatives to Parliament, they had won nothing, how was it, to be won ? A VOICE—By the pike. Mr. FINNERTY—We are unarmed, but scythes can be turned to some use if they provoke us too far. (Hear.) The speaker concluded by calling on nationalists to rally round the green flag till they planted it for ever above the red on the highest parapets of Dublin. The resolution, having been put by the chairman was carried by acclamation. Desperate Encounter with a Burglar. Early on Monday morning Mr. J. Brass, shoe maker, of the London-road, Worcester, was aroused by a noise in the lower part of his house; and hav ing a suspicion that some one bad broken into his premises, he got up and dressed himself, and, armed with a stick baying a knot at its end, left his bed room to search the house. He had not gone far, however, before he saw a man in the lower floor, with a lighted candle in his hand. Thenoise made by Mr. Brass had attracted the thief's attention, and seeing that he was observed, he knocked out the light and made for the window to effect his escape. Mr. Brass was, however, too quick for him; and as the man was getting out of the window dealt him a heavy blow on the back with the weapon with which he had armed himself. This brought the vagabond to the ground, and then Mr. Brass seized him. A frightful struggle ensued, the burglar grasping Mr. Brass by the throat and endeavouring to overcome IS, r tAtertheless, by dint of courageous and steady perseverance Mr. Brass succeeded in keeping the upper hend, and in self defence gave the fellow a tremendous thrashing, in spite of his cads for his Pal" to come to his assistance. Th e encoun t er continued until the arrival of Police-sergean:. Holmes and a city constable, into whose custody Mr. Brass delivered his antagonist, and went with them to the station-house. Another struggle was, ho wever, yet in store for him, for as they passed through the London-road turnpike the man darted frontin of his custodians and was making off. Again Mr. Brass pursued him, and in a few strides was sufficiently near to arrest his progress by another blow, and he was ultimately secured and handed over to Superintendent Philips, the burglary having been committed outside the city boundary. For some time the fellow refused to give his name, but ultimately said ha was John Brown, of Thomas street, Worcester. On Monday he was brought before Mr. H. B. Tymbs, at the office of the county magistrates' clerk. He presented a very sorry figure, one eye being entirely closed, and his face exhibiting signs of the effectiveness of Mr, Brass's blows. The case was merely opened, and prisoner rernandedtill Friday. He had effected an entrance to the premises by-removing a pane of glass from the kitchen window, and cutting through the shut- , teas with a sharp chisel. Having succeeded thus far he got in, and in mounting a table which stool under the window, he knocked something o 1 which, falling to the ground, broke a plate, and oc casioned the noise that awoke Mr. Brass. li e was also prepared with a sharp knife.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) RE BOUCICAITLT. that shortly before the bankruptcy he had issued execution against the goods, and the bankruptcy was in consequence of that execution. Previously to that he had been in treaty for an arrangement by which he and other creditors were to be paid 20s. in the pound. It was part of the arrangement that the mortgage creditors should forego their claims until the other creditors had been paid in full, but he ultimately did not assent, and he did not believe that, had the arrangement been carried out, all the credi tors would have been paid in full, Mr. Linklater said the assignees were most unfairly ac cused of rowing in the same boat with the bankrupt. They were acting wholly independent of Mr. Boucicault—all they were anxious for was to make the best of the estate for the benefit of the creditors. A discussion then arose as to the production of some accounts between the bankrupt and Mr. Webster, the former alleging that the latter was indebted to him to the extent of £1,200. Mr. Linklater strongly protested against the assignees being called upon to produce accounts at the demand of an individual creditor, and it was A B C law in the Bank ruptcy Law, that one creditor should not be allowed to interfere in order to cut down or diminish the estate, which was th© object of the opposing creditor to show that the alleged debt due from Mr. 'Webster was not due, but the assignees would ask the Court to give them power to try in another Court. Mr. Lewis contended that he was entitled to call for the account, or it would 12a impossible to test the accuracy of the balance sheet. Mr. Lawrance, for the bankrupt, said that the collateral question as to whether the debt was due or not ought not to interfere with the bankrupt passing on his accounts. The assignees were in an independent position, and best able to form a judgment on that point. He could not see what earthly right a creditor had to raise a public discus. sion on matters whi.th could not be determined here. His Honour, however, ordered that the document should be put in, which was done, but the bankrupt said he had never seen it, and he still maintained that his original state ment was correot. The examination of the bankrupt was continued, and his Honour, in very complimentary language, expressed his strong opinion that the bankrupt was fully entitled to his discharge. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT---This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) Wm. Balland, ironmonger, surrendered upon an indict.. merit, charging him with secreting property belonging to his creditors, within 60 days of his bankruptcy. The prisoner, it appeared, had resided at Dockhead, Ber mondsey, where he had for upwards of 20 years carried on the business of an ironmonger. Some time in June last a Mr. Udall, of Birmingham, from whom the prisoner had from time to time purchased goods, called upon him in re ference to an account of about £6OO which the prisoner then owed him, and for which he had given bills. At that time it was observed that the prisoner hal a large stock in his premises, and in consequence a much larger amount of goods were supplied to him, which it was found afterwards he had secretly removed to a shop in the York -road for the purpose of another business, and after this prisoner hid by those means obtained the goods and disposed of them, he sought the relief of the Court of Bankruptcy, where the Commissioner, after examination of the manner in which the goods had been removed, directed the present prosecu tion* At the conclusion of the evidence the learned Judge left it for the jury to say whether at the time of the remf,val of the goods there was an intention to defraud. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after about an hour's consideration returned a verdict of not guilty. In the case of Elizaa. Robins, charged with administering poison to two of her children in tart., the poison being white precipitate, the grand jury ignored the bill. THE CHARGE OF ENLISTING SOLDIERS FOR POLAND. In the case of Mr. Alfred Styles, committed for trial by Mr. Hall, at Bow-street, on a charge of having unlawfully attempted to enlist soldiers in this country to aid the Polish insurgents, the bill will not be preferred before the grand jury at the present session, the defendant being out on bail. It will not be preferred until the September session, THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) George Upson, charged with burglary in the dwelling. house of Mr. Goldsworthy in Portland-place, and stealing a quantity of jewellery, the property of two visitors, was tried and convicted of stealing, but acquitted of the bur glary.—Sentenced to three years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Tbis Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SOLDIER RUFFIAN,—DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT. Charles Humphreys, a private of the Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with most disgraceful conduct to a married woman named Mary Ann Alsop, living at 32, Queen-street, Edgware-road, and the prisoner was further charged with assaulting Joseph Alsop, the husband of Mrs Alsop. Mrs. Alsop said that about 12 the previous night she was standing at the coroner of North Audley-street ing to her husband, and his sister, and two friends, having been out to spend the evening with them, when the pri soner passed by and put his arms round her neck, and then thrust ona of his hands up her clothes. Her husband told the prisoner not to do it again, when the prisoner up with his fist and knocked him down. Joseph Alsop, the husband, said that on telling the pri soner not to repeat his conduct the prisoner gave him a violent blow on the nose, knocking him down and smother ing him with blood, and rendering him insensible. Maria Alsop, the sister of the last witness, gave carro boratory evidence, and Mr. Charles Brooke, of N o. 1 , North-row, Grosvenor-square, said that he saw the soldier strike the husband, and seeing that it was a most cowardly and unmanly assault he went for a constable. Powell, 214 D, said the primer was quite sober. Prisoner said that he was called over by some of th e party, and then told to " take his hook," (explained to mean to leave). Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner seemed to think that h e could do as he liked with the female, and when he found that ho could not he knocked the husband down. It wa s a most shameful attack on the woman. The prisoner was then committed for 14 days for the assault on the female, and ordered to pay 40s. or a month for the assault on her husband, but subsequently lXr. Tyrwhitt altered the term of imprisonment for the assault on the husband to 14 days. We have been requested to state that the address of Mrs. Kenny, whose case appeared in the papers during the last few days, is 39A, Curzon-street, and not 39. This was an adjourned meeting for last examination, and it was objected that the opposition was not bona fide by Mr. Patrick, who claimed t, be a creditor for £2,1:13, but in reality on the part of Mr. Webster; and Mr. Linklater, on the part of the assignees, protested against those proceed ings being made the vehicle of discussing private matters. Mr. Lawrance said that it was quite a matter of indiffer ence to his client, who opposed, as he was then prepared to pass on the accounts he had rendered, and which were not disputed by the assignees. Mr. C, E. Lewis sailed Patrick, the opposing creditor, who most distinctly denied that he had been influenced by Mr. Webster in the course he had taken in the proceed ings, but in cross-examination by Mr. Linklater he said WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SHOFMAN.—Edward Chapman, a young man, was charged betore Mr. Arnold with embezzling various sums of money belonging to Mr. James Rackstraw, fishmonger, Sussex-place, Brompton, hi s employer. _ _ The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his employment some weeks, and left about a week ago. He had since found out that the prisoner had been in the habit of receiving money and not accounting for it. Two sons of 188 9,1 and 7s 8d were received tfrom Mr. Preston Lum ley, of th e Litly Arms, North End, and twi sums of 19s 10d and £1 2 s 6d were received from Mr. Teale, of Bolton, near Bro mpton, which ho had not accounted for. There re other against the N isoner. Mr. charges Arnold observed that the present charges were quite sufficient. given, Evidence of th e payment of the above sums having been Policeman 2,53 B deposed to taking the prisoner into cus tody, and: stated that th e prisoner observed he had a good mister and a good place.

THE SUN ONE OF THE SMALLEST or THE FIXED STABS.—If the distances imputed to several of our stars from parallax be true, recent photometrical researches show our glorious luminary to be a very small star indeed; and (it has been reverently remarked upon this), to the human understanding thus euligatenci, wore than ever must the heavens declare the glory of God, INLAND REVENUE. The annual report of the Inland Revenue Cooesnaa missioners is always of i n t eres t, g i v i ng as it d view of the chief taxation of the country, for this Board collect forty millions a year. In the year ending with March, 1863, the Excise duties pro duced a net sum of £17,317,396, a decrease of £957,904 as compared with the previous year. The quantity of home-made spirits charged with duty declined 184,958 gallons, but the duty still reached the large sum of £9,399,707.• The consumption of spirits in Ireland in 1838 was no less than 12,000,000 gallons, producing, by a 25. 4J. duty, a revenue of £1,434,000; in 1862 the consumption was little more than a third of that quantity, but the duty tieing 10s. the revenue reached £2 ; 000,000. The consumption of spirits is at present temporarily de pressed by the distress in important districts of the country ; but no doubt wine, beer, and tea are all to a certain extent displacing spirits. Comparing the years 1853 and 1862, it will be found that the consumption of British spirits fell from 25,000,000 gallons to 19,760,000, but the consumption of wine rose from 7,000,000 gallons to 9,800,000, of beer from 17,700,000 barrels to 19,400,000, and of tea from 58,800,0001 b. to 78,800,00016. The taxa tion oa these articles differs greatly ; on a pint of beer it is a farthing, on a quarter of an ounce of tea less than a farthing, but on a glass of gin it is more than five farthings. The dis tillers find abroad some compensation for a lessened demand at home. There was a large increase in the export of British spirits last year to the West Coast of Africa, to Italy, and to Turkey; with this last country it is the creation of a new trade, and is owing to the war in America having stopped the supplies from that country. Passing next to the item of malt, we find a decrease of £476,394 in the produce of the duty; but it was not to be expected that the quantity made last year would equal the extraordinary amount of 1861; the barley of 1862 was in many districts of inferior qtsality for malt ing purposes. The hop duty, like the paper duty, is . no more, but the alteration in brewers' licences has brought an addition of £223,870 to the revenue. The licence duty produced the large sum of £1,910,150. Auctioneers paid £47,540; wine re tailers, £11,226; and the 5,154 licences taken for refreshment houses brought £4,475. Proceeding now to the second great branch of inland re venue namely, stamps, the net produce of which rose £386.206, and amounted to £8,966,803, we find the probate duty advancing to £1,325,359, the legacy and succession tax to £2,374,436, and duty on fire insurance to £1,580,637. The fees paid the Divorce Court (the payment being by stamps) amounted to only £2,420. The duty do playing cards has been reduced from ls. to 3d. a pack, in the hope of suppressing the enormous evasion of the tax, The third and last branch of the inland re venue—land, assessed, and income taxes—pro duced last year .£13,626 f 549. The net receipt of income-tax on schedule D fell from £3,263,926 in the preceding year to £3,233,766, but the whole tax showed an increase of £11,381. In 1861 there was a fresh assessment under schedule A and B, the previous assessment having been continued generally since 1857. The assessment of land was increased £1,982,000 (comparing 1861 with 1860), of houses £3,976,000, of railways £851,000, and under schedule B the assessment was increased £1,717,000 in England alone. The assessed profits of trade and professions in the United Kingdom were £94,739,000 in 1860, and £99,372,000 in 1861; the increase in Westminister was from £3,619,000 to £4,081,000, arising, in a great measure, from more correct charges on the west-end tradesmen and on persons making enormous profits by public enter tainments and exhibitions. In the city of London the assessments rose only slightly, from £15,405,000 to £15,578,000—an amount considered strangely below its proper rank as a contributor to the in come tax. A comparison in regard to the whole tax may be advantageously made by taking 1842 and 1852, in which years the area of taxation was limited to incomes of £l5O and upwards, and 1853 and 1861, when the area of taxation extended to incomes of £lOO a year. Between 1842 and 1852 the aver- age annual increase in value was only 1.13 per cent. ; between 1853 and 1861 it was 2.8`) per cent. Deducting from the assessment in 1861 the amount charged in respect of incomes under 1300 a year, so as to get a fair comparison with 1842, the increase in the assessment of 1861 was 31 per cent. over 1842. On lands the increase in the assessment was 10,85 per cent; houses, 50.4 per cent; mines, 109.32 per cent ; on iron works, 93.02 per cent ; on railways 439.28 per cent. The profits of trades and professions charged in 1852 were only 1.70 per cent. higher than those of 1842, the average annual in- crease being but 0.17 per cent; but the profits of 1861 exceeded those of 1853 by 19.33 per cent, the annual rate of increase in this last period being 2.42 per cent. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A moderate supply of new English wheat was on sale here, to-day, in good and fine condition. Both for red and white qualities there was a fair demand, at Monday's de cline in the quotations of 3s. to 4s. per quarter. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet no further change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. The show of new home-grown barley was small, and with old and foreign parcels, the market was scantily sup plied. The trade, however, ruled inactive, at, Monday's currency. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late quo tations. A fair average supply of oafs was on sale, and the trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. No change took place in the value of beans and peas ; but the demand for them was in a sluggish state. The top price of town-made flour was 43s per 2801bs. Country marks and American barrels sold heavily, on rather easier terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.:30 per £1 sterling, On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of z 3 7s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10 the f er cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6 i per .£1 sterlinc, ,:tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, a b out . 7-Nibs per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 141 to 1411 per cent., and the pr em i um oil gold is about 28i per cent. At these prices there is scarcely any profit oh the hnportation of gold from. the United States. 77-,. Z './- ./----) _ THE MEXICAN THRONE. VIENNA, Aug. 14. The Presse of to-day publishes a leader, from which the following, are extracts : "News is current throughout the city to-day that Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian is upon the point of accepting the Imperial crown offered to him by Mexico. We have recently pointed out what ap pears to us the danger of this political plan, and we need, therefore, hardly repeat how greatly one should regret the confirmation of this intelligence. To those persons who come before us with an affec tation of loralty, and declare the press has no right to interfere in the matter, that is a purely private concern of the Archduke, and that we have no busi ness to attempt to restrict his personal freedom, we reply that they don't know what they are talking about. Independently of the fact that we have not the presumption to suppose our disapproval will prevent the Archduke from accepting the crown if he feels inclined, we are yet unmistakably of opinion that the joersonal interest of the Archduke is not alone concerned in his taking his seat upon the Mexican throne. We should have to recollect, under any circumstances, that the ruler of Mexico was the brother of the Emperor of Austria. Any misfortune that might overtake him would be a misfortune for the Imperial family ; insult to the Emperor of Mexico would be insult to Austria. We believe that too little is as yet known of the real foundation upon which this Mexican throne is to be erected, or there could not possibly be any idea of its occupation by an Austrian Archduke. Even at the Tuileries it has not been definitely decided whether to recognise the Mexican Assembly of Not ables, drummed together by Forey, as competent, or whether to ratify their decision by an appeal to universal suffrage, The latter course is the most probable, so that the future possessor of the Mexi can throne may feel the leaden weight of French protective rule as long as possible. Nobody will convince us that a real election, an honestly meant nomination of a ruler agreeabie to the chief parties in the land, is intended. The scum which has hurried to salute the French stan dards since the occupations of Vera Cruz does not even represent a majority of the Mexican population, far less its active and living elements. Its utterance cannot, therefore, be regarded as the view and expression of will of the influential citi zens of the 15 States. We have often stated that, Atmonte and his tail—the Generals and Bishops expelled by Juarez—belong to the Ultramentane party of an old Conservative minority; that they and their followers are powerless and destitute of the prospect of a productive political future. They are not only incapable of forming the support of a new throne because they acknowledge High Church principles and refer with pride and insolence to their blue Castilian blood, not only because they profess ideas which we in Europe are accustomed to style retrogade, for more fanatical elements have esta blished new empires ; more than one Royal throne in the Pyrenean peninsula, more than one Prince.. dom in the Levant has been set up by the outcasts of the Crusades. But their incapacity is due to the fact that they are foreign in blood and civilization to the great mass of the inhabitants of the country Almonte and Co., the aristocratic ruins of the party of Santa Anna, the allies of the French invading army, are the last remnant of the pure-blooded Creoles of European descent who after 40 years of an embittered conflict of races with the natives o the country, with the highly civilised descendants of the ancient peoples subdued by the swords of the conquestravora have finally beet obliged to call upon a stranger for protection and for help They have received this aid, and now, although a fast disappearing small minority, not amounting to a sixteenth part of the population of the country, although in right of their blue blood, certainly en titled to style themselves the Notables, they arro gate the right of handling over Mexico to a Regent. So long as foreign soldiers cross the seas, and, as in the Spanish time, support the mastery of these Creoles, they may maintain themselves and the man of their choice, but not an hour beyond. Were the question really one of principles, were a greater or less portion of freedom at stake, compromise might be possible and final reconciliation not unlikely. But the lordship of a foreign Prince will never strike firm root into this elementary struggle of two separate races. He would never be forgiven for belonging to the sons of the pale faces who de- stroyed the temples and palaces of Montezuma, and have rendered desolate the towns and republics of Anahuac.—.Reuter's Express.

THE HOP PLANTATIONS,—ROCHESTER, Aug. 18. —Most of the plantations are looking decidedly better, the late gentle showers having done much to bring about this improvement. In the rich hop -growing districts in the centre of the county the plant has made surprising progress within the last few days, and a general belief is entertained that the yield will be much larger than was calculated upon a week or two since. The agreeable change in the weather has caused the hops b grow rapidly, and so great has been the jail rovornent that many plantations which appeared a few weeks since in an altogether hopeless condition now show signs of yielding a moderate crop. This improvement, however, is not general, and there are some hundreds of acres upon which the hops grown will not pay the expense of picking. In some of the best p!antations a yield of from 15cwt. to 1 ton per acre is confidently antici pau, but these will b e ex t reme cases . Th e pro b a bl e ave rage is likely to be about 4cwt. to &wt. per acre. Should the present fine weather continue picking will commence in parts of sent in about a fortnight, -,0 .

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 fire 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 GAZETTE —Yesterday. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, AUG. 13. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Hon.

FOR LANCASTER, has pre• seated that borough with baths and washhouses, recently erected there, at a cost of about £5,000. IN proof of the great heat this year, it may be mentioned that the water of the Seine has fallen to the level of the great drought of the year 1719, which forms the zero line of the metrical ladder on the Pont Royal for measuring the standard depth of the river. This is the second time only since that period of nearly 150 years ago that it has fallen to so low a level.— IF the Trade Review. FUCHSIAS IN BLoo34.—Fuchsias require a little shade when in bloom, and then it it , as well to dis continue syringing. N evertheless, they will bearanyamount of light if at the acme time they are well ventilated, and they will enjoy water over-head, but it splashes the pollen about on the foliage a little. Our trial fuchsias have had such a blaze of sun on them this summer as ought to have killed them outright, if all be true that is told in the bcoks. Bear in mind that if you expose plants to intense sun they must have a thorough draught of ventilation at the same time, else scorching is sure to take place—Haberd's Gar. deners' _Magazine. ALLEGED MURDER OF AN OLD MAN IN WILT SHIRE.—An old man named Fullbrook was found dead a few days ago in a stable at Minety. and a man named Taylor is now in custody of the Wiltshire police charged with wilful murder. A deal of evidence has been adduced against the prisoner before the Malmeebury magistrates, and the case is rof yet closed. It appears that in the neigh bourhood of the Minety Station of the Great Western Rail way there is a small publichouse called the Red Lion, and the deceased was engaged there at times, for which he re ceived his meals, and was allowed to sleep in the stable. A few mornings ago he was found in the stable dead. Mr. Law rence, surgeon, of Malmesbury, examined the body, and found that there was a severe bruise over the left eye, besides a bruise below the right collar-bone ; and on a post mortem examination discovered that there were injuries to the head sufficient to cause death. On the day before tho deceased was found dead he was seen by a policeman with a black eye, and when asked how he came by it he told the officer the prisoner struck him very violently and caused it. Witnesses have been examined who swear that one night prisoner re. turned from Malmesbury intoxicated, and that he struck the deceased a tremendous blow. It also appears that the pri soner has previously been charged with serious and violent assaults. Though the Coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased c;ied from injuries inflicted on his person, but by whom and how there was no evidence to show, the police authories are not satisfied with the verdict, and they have therefore detained the prisoner in custody, Active inquiries are still being made, and, as already stated, the proceedings before the magistrates have not terminated. THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER GEORGIA .—Tho English brig Kanagona, Capt. Romerell, from New York, which arrived at Rio Janeiro on June 14, reported to the Jornal do Commercio that on the 11th of that month; at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she was boarded by a steamer bearing the British flag._ On being boarded the captain was questioned ou a variety of subjects —among other things, in reference to what American vessels had left or were to leave Northern ports fur Brazil. Capt. Romerell could give no information of value. After examining the s hip 's papers the boarding officer told C a pt. R omere ll th a t he belonged to the Confederate steamer Georgia. He then drank a cup of wine, and said that his ship's crew were greatly disap pointed in not having captured some rich prizes since their seizure of the George Griswold, while the Alabama and Florida were committing so many raveges, He then politely took his leave,
