MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money continues on a moderate Beale, the requirements for the agricultural districts being large, as usual at this period of the year, and the rates for best three months' bills 34 s per cent. Although a considerable quantity of gold was • sent into the Bank of England th-ring the week ending Wednesday last the Gazette return, com pleted to that period, only shows a small addition to the metallic reserves, while the notes have also been trenched upon to some extent. These alte rations are partly attributable to the necessary ....x -penditure in the agricultural districts on ac's - ,ount of the harvest. There is a falling off in tb.s other secu rities, owing to the large nurnbe? of bills which arrived at maturity on the 4t1 - J, and the successful competition of the joint stock and private firms for the bills brought into circulation.

The Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company. HALF-YEARLY MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held this day in the London Tavern ; H. Moor, Esq., in the chair. The CRATRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, informed the shareholders that their affairs had so improved that it became quite unnecessary for the company to apply to her Majesty's Government for assistance under their guarantee. The interruption in the Malta and Alexandria line he did not think would cause any serious diminution in the receipts for the current half-year, and with respect to the company s cable, it continued in the most excellent order. Since the last report the cable of the Italian Government had been successfully submerged, and the transmission of messages between Malta and Great Britain had been greatly accelerated. The directors recom mended the payment of the usual dividend on the preference shares, and the same dividend as last half year on the gene ral shares. The directors under this arrangement would be able to add a sum £514 18e. 3d. to the reserved fund, which was at the rate of 10 per cent. on their receipts. The report was unanimously adopted, and the proceed ings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chair man. LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) A VERY HARD CASE-RE CRITTEN. This was an application for commitment under the Small Debts Act for non-payment of £9 13s, 2d., according to the law of the Court. The facts of the case were that the defendant was sued in one of the superior Courts for a sum of £2 13s. 2d., and judgment was recovered against him—the costs amounting to £7—and he was summoned to this Court under the Small Debts Act, and ordered to pay 10s. a-month; and, not having kept up his payments, the present application was made for his commitment. The defendant's wife attended, and Mr, Denney kindly volunteered to state the case and oppose the application. He said that the defendant was a labourer at the Euston square Station, and the debt was contracted by his wife without his knowledge ; and, as he had his wife and six young children, it was impossible he could pay 28. 6d. a week out of 20s. a week. Besides, the plaintiff ought to have sued in the County Court., and therefore was not en titled to costs. His Honour—He was only exercising his legal right, and creditors are not to be set at defiance. What can I do, I must commit him. Mr. Denney—Surely, your honour will not commit a man in such a case ; it would be a monstrous shame and a manifest injustice. His Honour—A man when he has contracted a debt is bound to pay it, Mr. Denney—lf he has the means, but you cannot com mit him without it is shown he had means to obey the order. his Honour--He ought not to have contracted the debt. Mr. Denney—He did not, it was his wife entrapped by a pedling traveller—in fact, a tallyman. His Honour—l can't help that ;if he does not know he must find it by sad experience. if a creditor takes harsh measures I can't help it. I can't give way to sympathy, but administer the law as I find it. It is a hard case. The plaintiff was inexorable, and his Honour said he must commit for 10 days. _ _ _ Mr. Denney said the man would lose his place. Would his Honour make a fresh order, to give him an opportunity of paying ? . His Honour--The time is past. He ought not to have consented to pay. _ . The order was therefore made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GUILDHALL. Two respectably-dressed men, named Sparks and Gent, were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a quantity of fat, kno ging it to have been stolen. From the evidence of Smith. the detective officer of the City police, it appeared that he and another officer named Legge received information that a great deal of property had for some time been disappearing from the premises of Messrs. Benbow and Co., 12, Little Britain. Certain cir• cumstances transpired, and Sparks was taken into custody on suspicion of being the person who had stolen the fat, and then both officers proceeded to 2 7,Hackney-oval, where they took Gent, who carried on the business of a manufactu ring perfumer into custody. They told him of the robbery, and afterwards searched the house, when they discovered two tin cans which had contained fat. On being asked to explain how he become possessed of the property, he said he had bought it, in the regular way of trade, from a per son who had called upon him. They then took him into custody, and when they arrived at the station-house Sparks was brought from his cell, and Gent was asked if that was the person of whom he had bought the fat ; he replied that it was, and said he had no idea it had been stolen. Before they took Gent from his house his wife was about to make some observation, whoa he immediately checked her, and told her to be quiet, and say nothing. There were three or four boys at work in oile of the back rooms filling pomade pots, but when he (Smith) searched the prisoner Gent's bill-file he could hardly find a single invoice or receipt for payment of materials with which he carried on his trade. Some further evidence having been given the prisoners were remanded until Wednesday next. MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to Mark-lane, to day, a small supply both of old and new English wheat was received. The whole of the supply, however, was not disposed of, yet no material change took place in prices compared with Monday. The quotation for new was 48s. to 565. per qr. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Generally speaking, the trade was very inactive, and prices were barely supported. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at about stationary prices. The market was very moderately supplied with barley. The demand, however, was in a sluggich state, at late rates. In malt about an average business was transacted, on former terms. The supply of oats was moderately large. Nearly all qualities were in slow request, at barely'previous quota tions. Both beans and peas met a slow sale at late currencies The import of American flour being very large, viz., 57,770 barrels, the demand both for English and foreign qualities was inactive, and, in some instances, prices were somewhat easier.

The accounts from those parts of the plantations which have hitherto been comparatively free from blight are very favourable, but from other districts the reports at hand are discouraging. In the neighbourhood of Maidstone, Can terbury, and a few districts in East Kent and in most parts of Sussex, the bine is looking well. Since our last report the demand for nearly all kinds of hops has ruled inactive ; nevertheless, prices have been steadily supported. The foreign import continues moderate for the time of year. .Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. VALETTA, Aug. I.—Her Majesty's paddlewheel frigate Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage, ar rived yesterday from the Piraeus and Calamata in three days. She brought as passengers Ensign Powell, 25th Regiment, and Miss Wodehouse. She will return to the Piraeus, after the arrival of the next mail from Marseilles, with despatches for the c ommander-in-chief and letters for the squadron, now in Greek waters. Her Majesty's screw fri,:ate Orlando, 46, Capt. 0. G. Randolph, left Malta har bour this morning with a mail for the Piraeus, tak ing as passengers Dr. Stothert, R.N., to join the Liffey as chaplain and naval instructor; Mr. Roe, RN., assist-paymaster, to join the Firefly ; Mr, R. S. Lea, Mr. H. Hallett, Mr. M. S. Bree, Mr. H. orentell, Mr. G. Dixon, and Mr. G. D. Lee. Her Maj :st3't3 screw line-of-battle ship Queen (76), Cipt. C. F. Hiilyar, now at the Piteous, is to proceed home to be paid off. It is expected that the Or lando will be sent from the Pit mus to join the squad ron cruising on the west coast of Greece. Her Ma jesty's screw corvette Malacca, 17, Capt.G. J. Napier, has received orders to proceed home immediately. It is reported that her presence is required in Eng land in reference to the proceedings of a certain courtmartial held some months ago in Malta har bour on one of her lieutenants. Her Majesty's screw gunboat Surprise, 4, Com. W. H, Whyte, re turned yesterday from target practice outside the port. The injury to the screw propeller of her Ma jesty's corvette Cossack, 20, Corn. W. R. Rolland, proved to be a fracture of the shaft, which has been temporarily repaired in the naval dockyard at this island, and an entirely new shaft hes also been made for her, to be fitted in case of any future accident. Her Majesty's gunboat Growler Lieut. Com. J. C. Drew, returned into port to-day, from surveying service in the channel. She will leave again on similar service in a day or two. The Governor of Malta, Sir John Gaspard Le Marchant, and family left yesterday, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pera, for England. It is expected that his Excellency will be absent about a month or six weeks. The English screw steamer Hawthorns, Capt. R. Donaldson, which is to be employed in repairing the Benghazi and Alexan dria cable, is still in port, but it is expected to leave on Monday or Tuesday for the scene of operations. There is an intention of surveying officer from her Majesty's ship Medina with the Hawthorns; to as sist at the operation, the Medina having taken some part in surveying the route previous to the laying of the cable. The Lords of the Admiralty at Portsmouth re sumed, their inspection yesterday by making a tour in the dockyard and visiting the site of the intended naval barracks, adjoining the north-east end of the yard. They landed from their yacht at the King's stairs, there being comprised in the party, in addi tion to the names given in The Sun of yesterday, Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., and Capt. Hall, private secre tary to the Duke of Somerset. On the landing place they were joined by Mr. J. E. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy ; Rear-Admiral Superin tendent George Elliott ; Sir Richard Mayne, Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police; Mr. Mallalieu, Inspecting Superintendent of the Metro politan Police in her Majesty's Dockyards; and by the heads of the various departments in the yard. Atter visiting the office of the Admiral-Superinten dent, where they spent some considerable time, they commenced their perambulation of the yard. These annual visits of the Board of Admiralty to the different dockyards have be come now a mere matter of form, aid possess less public interest every succeeding year. Every thing is made ready for the announced visit, and on arrival their Lordships see everything through a coloured medium, which has been expressly prepared for their use. The only points of interest, there fore, met with during a long day's walk yesterday were their visits to the Royal Sovereign turretship ; to the workshop containing 'the furnaces and ma chinery for heating, bending, drilling, and planing the armour plates for ironclad ships; the arrange ments for the experimental coating of armour plates with copper or brass by an alkaline-electro deposit; to the dock building at the north end of the steam basin, and to the site of the intended naval barracks. The Royal Sovereign is considerably advanced since our last notice, but she will not be out of the hands of the dockyard authorities before Christmas. The total number of the Royal Sovereign's armour plates is 133, and of these IC4 are bolted on the ship's side. The inch iron deck plating, with its inch butts and straps, is all completed, and a few of the 6 inch oak planks which will form the outer casing of the upper deck are fixed in their places on the iron plating. The pilot house is complete both in its armour and internal fittings. The turn-tables and beds of the three after-turrets, which will carry one gun each, are complete, and the turrets themselves are in progress. All the armour plates for these turrets, with the exception of six, have been re ceived from the contractors. The foremost turret is complete is everything but its armour, and that has not yet been received from the contractors. These turrets, in their construction, very much re semble the Chalmers target. They are formed of a cylinder built up on h.shaped angle iron ribs, set up, 20 inches apart, on a turntable, The inner skin of the cylinder is of half-inch iron, and out side this skin, and between the ribs in the 20 indies space, is fitted in firmly with teak ten inches in thickness out wards from the iron skin. Over the outer surface of this series of iron cells filled in with teak are crossed, diago nally, wrought iron straps 4 by 1 inch wide, and outside this combination of iron and wood is placed 8 inches more teak, on which will be fixed the 51- inch armour plates. The turret will thus present a target face 25 inches in thickness. The two gun boats are placed pretty close together, and are oval in form. They measure each 3ft. Sin. by 25in. Iron ballast has been placed on the top of the turret to represent the weight of the armour-plates it will have to carry, and in experiments made by Capt. Cole it was found that, with eight men at the winch handles, the turret made a complete circle in four minutes and 40 seconds. Yesterday, with the same number of men at the winch handles, a quarter circle and the same distance back again was made in one minute. The Duke of Newcastle and a party visited the ship on Wednesday, and spent a consi derable time in the foremost turret examining the details of its construction and manner of revolving, with great apparent interest. The ship is being ventilated on the plan of Dr. Edmonds, of her Majesty's shin Victory. The arrangement at the north end of the steam factory for the experimental coating of an armour-plate with copper is the greatest known attempt yet made in electro-metal ' lurgy, and that it is being now made is due to the anxiety felt by the Controller of the Navy and the Admiralty to discover a means of preventing the oxidation from which iron-clad ships at present so severely suffer. Mr Walam of London, who is carry ing out the experiments at Portsmouth, laid before the Controller plans for enamelling iron with brass or copper with the use of an alkaline solution, the deposited metal to be of any specified thickness, brightness, or hardness. In accepting Mr. Walam's preposition, as an experiment copper was selected as the metal to deposit, and the arrangements are now so far complete that yesterday a trial plate, lb feet in length, was exhibited covered with a thin deposit of copper to show its nature. • In one part of the building, where the apparatus is fixed, lay the armour plate for coating, uncleaned, and rough, just as it came from the drilling machines. It !Lb 15ft. in len g th, 3ft. sin. in width , and 44-In. in thickness. Nest to this huge piece of metal was a piece of i ron p l a t e s uspended in sli n g s, 15ft, in length, 2ft. 6in. in width, and lin. in thickness. This had ju s t b een t a ken out of th e p ickling tank, and scrubbed w ith sa nd, from the surf ace o f t h e iron, which was then seen in all the clear lines of its gray fibre. A few feet plate was a plate o f similar from this cleansed a ll impurities be in g g one dimensions, but which had just been removed from the depositing tank, where it had been placed four hours. When removed, it was found to have re ceived a really beautiful and bright hard coating of copper. These three plates thus illustrated the three stages—the uncleansed, the cleansed, end the electro-plated iron. The process of elect ro-eoatino by Mr. Walam's process, and the arrangements of his batteries and tanks, are as follows :—ln the upper story of the factory are erected the necessary batteries, in this instance composed of a series of five cells, containing a zinc surface of 720 square feet, and of copper of 1,500 square feet, the cells being charged with about 1,200 gallons of diluted sulphuric ac id. F rom t h ese b a tt er i es con d u ctors — bands of copper 3in. wide and gin. thick—lead down to the depositing tank, which is 17ft. long, 18in, wide, and 6ft. in height, and filled with a solution of cyanide of potassium and tartarate of ammonia. This t an k i s of i ron, and has an outer casing, which enables the solution to be heated by steam. The pickling or cleansing tank is nearly of the same dimensi ons , an d f i lled with a weak solution of sulphuric acid. The iron plate is placed in this tank fist for a certain time, then taken out and scrubbed with sand, and afterwards placed in the depositing tank, the solution in which completes the cleansing process and prevents the formation of any oxide between the hare iron and the deposited metal. The solution in the tank being heated next to 150 deg., the batteries are connected, and the copper is not only deposited upon the iron, but is driven into the open pores of the metal, and thus becomes_ a part of the plate itself, and forms an almost indestructible enamelled coating. The Duke of Somerset holds a levee at the Royal Naval Col lege, Portsmouth, this morning, and other members of the Board will visit her Majesty's ship Asia and the steam reserve, and inspect the Excellent, Duke of Wellington, and other ships. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400-horse power, which has been taken into No. 4 dock at Chatham, for the purpose of undergoing some heavy repairs, is ordered to be fitted with a topgallant forecastle for the protection of the crew during inclement weather. A similar addition is likewise to be made in the fitment of the Scylla, 21, 400-horse power, which is being brought forward for the first divi sion of the Chatham steam reserve. One of the iron-clad steam-rams recently con structed at the Thames Ironworks for the Russian Government yesterday went down the river on her trial trip, preparatory to her departure for Cron stadt. It is stated that her sailing was hastened materially by orders from the Russian Government, in consequence of the diplomatic question now wait ing a reply. The armour casing of the ram is incom plete, and the remainder of the plates shipped on board, in order to finish the casing in their own dock yard on her arrival, On nearing the offing of Wool wich dockyard, at 645 yesterday morning, the officer of the watch on board the Marine Society's ship Warspite, Lieut.-Commander Sulivan, super intendent, perceived that the ram was making headway, uncontrolled, towards the Warspite's quarter, and gave an alarm to that effect. The ram was in tow of a steamtng, the Napoleon. She had her own steam up, she was totally unmanage able, and, as anticipated, ran into the Wartpite's port-side, striking her obliquely just abaft the fore chains, doing considerable damage, the principal part of the injury being under water. The ship has since been listed over to prevent her filling with water. The whole of the outside lining was crushed to a considerable length, the trenails knocked away, and both fore and main chains were also injured. One of her boats was also damaged. The starboard cathead of the ram was carried away, and she lost ono of her anchors, which was afterwards recovered with the stock broken in the collision. The War spite will have to be docked for repairs, the cost of which it is calculated will exceed £l,OOO. Her Majesty's screw steamsloop Alacrity, 4, 475 tone, 200 horse power, Commander John K. E. Baird, was paid out of commission on the 3d inst. in Sheerness harbour by Captain C. Wise, Aide-de- Camp Superintendent of the dockyard. She was commissioned at Sheerness in December, 1859, and has since been employed in the Mediterranean under Vice-Admiral Sir William F. Martin, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of that station. Since the re turn of the vessel to Sheerness she has been stripped and dismantled, and is now placed in the third divi , sion of the Sheerness steam reserve. The following appointments were made yesterday - at the Admiralty :—Commander A. H. W. Battis combe, to the Snipe; Lieut. John S. Eaton, to the Adventurer; A. F. St. Clair, midshipman, to the Nile; Arthur Kinsman, midshipman, to the Virag o; William Billing, naval cadet, to the Nile; Edward W. Coleman, assist.-surgeon, to the Snipe ; Robert Grieve, assist.-surgeon, to the Warrior; John Has ler, assist.-paymaster, to the Snipe; Jonathan M. Page, first•cla9s assist.-engineer, to the Orontes ; Thomas Scott (a), confirmed as first-class assist.-en gineer in the Pembroke; William Rumble, first class assist-engineer, to the Cumberland, for the Wizard; Alexander Brown, promoted to acting first-class assistant in the Galatea ; and Robert Jago, second-class assist.-engineer, to the Ajax. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Thomas Beeks, a well dressed fellow, described as a musician, of 66, King-street, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with the following assault with a knife on a young woman named Elizabeth M'Donald, with whom he cohabits, and who he has been charged with seriously assaulting on a former occasion. The complainant said—l have lived with the prisoner for some years, and since I last charged him here with as saulting me, when he was committed for a month. This morning about one o'clock I met the prisoner in Regent street, and we walked home together. When we got home he said, "Who was that young man I saw you with," and he then struck at me with a knife. I put up my arm and received the stab on my wrist, which was badly cut. I struggled with him, and wrested the knife from him, and in doing so I might have cut hi - n in self-defence. He then gave me in charge for cutting his face, and I was taken to the station, but the inspector, after hearing my statement, detained the prisoner, and sent fur the doctor and had my wrist dressed. Mr. Tyrwhitt put some questions to the young woman, in answer to which she said,—l recollect pushing the pri soner, but don't remember cutting him. I was sober, but I cannot say whether he was. I interceded the last time I charged him, and he was then 1 , t off with a month. I am in the habit of getting him money by prostitution, and he receives it. Mr. Tyrwhitt— And he does nothing for a living ? Complainant—That is the case, your worship; and it has been going on for years. Prisoner (in an intimidating manner)—Did you not strike me with the knife first ? Complainant—l did not. Prisoner—Yes, you did. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Now, if you bully the complainant any where else, you shall not do it here. I suppose (to com plainant) he haunts you about at nights while you are in the streets ? Complainant—Yes, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—He is ready to take watches or anything else when necessary ? Complainant-1 have nut known him to do that, Emil Fitsch, 115 C, said—At a quarter past one this morning I saw the complainant and prisoner both bleeding. Prisoner gave the complainant in charge for cutting his face with a knife, and said that she had cut her own wrist to make it appear that ho had done it. The complainant had a fearful wound on the wrist, and it bled profusely. The surgeon (Dr. Tothill) said the complainant could not have done it herself. The prisoner had bean drinking, but knew what he was about. The complainant was quite sober. Prisoner—l saw her drinking with a female I did not like. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner for a week for the attendance of the surgeon. Prisoner was then remanded. WESTMINSTER. AN OLD OF FENDER.—WiIIiam Atkins, a man appa rently .50 years of age, was charged with begging, and assaulting a police-constable. William V oddup,officer of the mendicity society, said that yesterday evening he saw the prisoner, with a ‘ piece of slate on which was written " hunger, " beg of several passers-by, and receive a halfpenny. Knowing him to be a desperate character, he sought the aid of a police constable and gave him into custody. The prisoner then used most foul language, and conducted himself in a very disgraceful way in the street. A stretcher was fetched, but he then preferred walking, threw the constable three con secutive times, and was taken to the station with the help of some civilians. Police-constable Murnane, 117 B, proved the principal part of witness's statement, and described the assaults. He also said that prisoner struck him on the face and breast on the way to the station. He searched the prisoner and found 6d. in copper on him. William Hewitt, another meridicity officer, said that pri soner had been known to him 14 years, and had troubled the society since 1842. He and his wife had been each con victed many times—the prisoner nine, and his wife not so many times. The last conviction was three months for felony. Prisoner denied the accusation in tote, and Mr. Selfe, having commented upon prisoner's conduct, sentenced him to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction as a rogue and vagabond. ACCIDENT AT A VOLUNTEER REVIEW.—PLY MOUTH, Aug. 6.—A serious accident happened to-day, at a igade review of the Devon County Volunteers, on Little Haldown Down, near Teignmouth. The grand stand broke down. No persons were killed, but several more or less injured. COLONIAL , TEA,—The public sales terminated yesterday, and the prices realised were equal to those previously current in the priva'e market. SUGAR.—A moderate amount of business has been done in 'West India descriptions, and fully former prices are current for good grocery qualities. In the refined market, however, rather lower rates are generally accepted by holders. COFFEE.—The dealings in colonial have been limited; full prices, however, are maintained for superior qualities. RICE.—The market has continued dull, and quotations are nominally unaltered. SALTPETRE.—The demand has not been very extensive, and the few dealings recorded were at about pre'ious quo tatiods. _ _ TALLOW.—Business has again been dull, and but few operations have been recorded either for present or forward P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 435, and last three months' 458 6d per cwt. NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.—Cardinal Wiseman presided yesterday afternoon at the laying of the first stone of a new Catholic church and Dominican monas tery at Southampton-road, near H averstock-hill, beyond Camden Town. The ceremony w as performed by the Archbishop Elect of the Port - of - Spain, Trinidad. Th ere were present the general of the Dominican order, many other Dominican friars, several other priests, and a large concourse of laity. The ceremonies of the Catholic Church appointed for such an occasion having been gone through, the stone was lowered into its place. The Very Rev. Dr. Manning preached a sermon, in which he congratulated his hearers on the return of the Dominican Order to active missionary work in London, after centuries of absence. The church is to be Gothic, and Gilbert Blount, Esq., is the architect. BEWARE !—A new secret weekly has recently made its appearance in Rome, under the title of " Roma o Morte.' _ _ --- MISS MARY ANNE EVANS'S " 11 013101 a," it has been well said by one of her revie wers, must take a v er y high rank indeed ; no lower than such books as Bulwer Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii" and " Last of the Barons." G.—The following j o k e HEREDITARY LIGHTNIN is ascribed to Washington Irving. A comrade refused, once, in a storm, to take shelter from rain under a tree, because he had promised his father, who had been struck by lightning when sheltering un der a tree, that h e never would do it, "Oh I" retorted Irving, "if lightning, runs in your family, you are quite right." A MAN AND A BROTHER,—MT. Henry Grattosi Guinness, once a rival of M r . Spurgeon's, has recently become a Plymouth Broth er , an d, w ith a tardy sense of modesty has, in se•doing, renounced the title "Reverend." MYSTERIES OF THE METRIC SYSTEM.—The French geographical league of 3 geographical miles is not the same as the F re n c h nau ti ca l league of 3 nautical miles, the former being 25 leagues to the degree and the latter 20, whereas the English geographical league of 3 miles is identical with the English nautical one, being 20 to the degree. The French geographical league may be thus readily calculated. The circumference of the earth is 40,000,000 metres; this divided by 360 gives 111,111'1 metres for the length of a degree. Dividing again by 25 we have 5555.5 metres for the length of a French geogra phical league of 25 to the degree. In like manner the Freach nautical league is found to be 4444'4 metres. The mean of these two was termed, some years ago, the lieue tnoyenne, and is of course exactly 5,000 metres, or half a myriametre. The lieue de poste, now disused, co nsisted of 2,000 t o i ses. There were other leagues, now swept away, too numerous to mention. The metric league at present in use in France is 4,000 metres. So there is nothing here against the use of the metre in France —on the contrary, the mention of the leagues with the easy manner in which they are derived serve to illustrate the convenience of the metric system. SHREWD OLD MR. HENLEY GULLED FOR ONCE ! --.411r. Henley probably does not study " Household Words," says th e S pectator, meaning, o f course, by ° " Household Words" .41111146 Year .Round- It is, however, much to be regretted that he has not laid to heart a paper which appeared in that periodical exposing the character of "the best auth or it y ," f or it is too clear that his acut ness has been implied upon by t h is " very b es t authority." Relying, no doubt, on its assertion, he has told the House of Commons a tale which would not have gulled the stu pidest and the yo ungest of the 106 petitioners w h ose wiles the worthy m em b er sought to expose. Signa t ures t o the petition of the Oxford Fellows against University Sub scriptions, he was infor me d , were obtained curious dodge, by some dodge, connected, we k now not how, with the P r i ncess ' s o visit to Oxford. We v en t ure to assert that the pet i tion was set on foot, at d most of th e signatures virtually obtained, if not actually affixed to it, before the Princess visited the university. The most amusing feature in the whole matter is not, however, so much Mr. Henley's error as the miscon ception which his tale betrays of the whole state of Oxford society. The bare idea of tutors, fellows, and heads of houses bustling about during the festivities of commemora tion to obtain surreptitiously the signatures of visitors bent on nothing but amusement, is almost as grotesque as any of the notions to be fount in the pages of German or French travellers desirous of describing English life. That Mr. Henley should have been misled by his facetious in formants can only be accounted for by the fact that old gentlemen have a passion for snubbing the rising genera. tion. The hundred and six petitioners have most of them the misfortune to be men of talent, and many of them the good fortune to be young, and the acutest of squires can hiadly be expected to resist the temptation of telling any tale, however improbable, which tends to set down the con ceit of clever youngsters. The Tribunal of Correctional Police has tried the Black Doctor, J. H. Vries, on charges of usurP ine the title of doctor and of illegally practisi ng medicine. A doctor named Ebra, who sometimes assisted Vries in his consultations, was charged at the same time, with illegally vending medicines to their patients. Am ong the papers found in the possession of Vries , and put in as evidence,ers w as the prospectus of a work entitled " Clef d e l a N ouve ll e Alliance," presented to mankind as " the revelation of a new era which shall for ever close the abyss of revolutions, and put an end to all the sufferings, wars, and catastrophes afflicting nations." In answer to questions from the Pre sident, Vries declared that he was merely the assistant of Dr. Ebra, whom he aided with advice, while the latter signed all the prescriptions; he denied having ever sold medicines since his first condemnation, although he still had the drugs in his possession which were returned to him after his first trial. The evidence, however, clearly proved that, although Dr. Ebra lived in the same house, he was not always present at the consultations, and the fact of sup plying patients with medicine was established against both the defendants. One witness proved that Vries alone had atteLded a person named Piffetot, and had received from him 2,000 f. with securities for the payment of 4,000 f. more. After hearing counsel for the defence, the Tribunal con demned Vries to 2,000 f. fine, with six months imprison ment, for illegally practising medicine, and to 500 f. 'lac for selling medicaments ; Ebra was:also fined 500 f for the last named offence, and condemned to pay one-fourth of the ex penses of prosecution, the other three-fourths to be paid by Vries. Parlan statuettes are illustrations of the perfection pro duced by untiring perseverance in removing defects in manu facture. So also are Herring's magnetic brushes and conb s , which are now rendered so perfect in restoring the colour to grey hair, and eradicating the agony of neuralgia and nervous headache that failure is almost impossible. N.B.—Counter feits are being made. Offices, 12, Basinghall-street, London, THE ARMY. We are requested to state that Capt. Stewart, 2d Life Guards, and Capt. Taswell, Royal Artillery, severely injured, as stated in yesterday's Sun, at a cricket match at Woolwich, are progressing favour ably. • By the appointment of Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., to the colonelcy of the 87th Royal Irish Fusileer Regiment, a pension for distinguished and meritorious services is placed at the disposal of Field-Marshal the Duke of Cambridge. An official notification has been received at Chat ham, from the Horse Guards, that the examination of candidates for the medical department of the army will commence at Chelsea Hospital, on Mon. day next, before Major-General F. W. Hamilton , C. 8., vice - pres ident, and the other members of the Council of Military Education. The non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery stationed in the Chatham district h a ve presented Sergeant M'llroy, of the first divi sion of the depot brigade, with a handsome silver tea service, as a mark of respect and esteem, on the occasion of his retiring from the corps of Royal Artillery after 23 years' service. A letter from Copenhagen gives some additional particulars of the recent visit paid to the King of Denmark by the King of Sweden and his two brothers, the Princes Oscar and Augustus, at the Palace of Skodsborg, on the shores of the Sound :—" The august visitors arrived about noon on the 22d ult., and were saluted by the Danish and Swedish vessels at anchor opposite the palace.

AEItIAL LOCOMOTION.—This is the name we must henceforth substitute for the more common one of ballooning, if we may credit what eye-witnesses relate of experiments performed a few days since in M. Nadar's photographic establishment. Following in the footsteps of those who first applied the screw principle to aerial pro pulsion, M. Nadar proposes the absolute suppression of the balloon, and the application of the inclined plane under the form of the helix or screw to the art of directing cars or vessels floating 'in the air. At the meeting M. Nadar stated that as early as 1768, that is, 15 years before the ascension of the first Montgolfiere, the engineer Pancton foretold the application of the screw to aerial locomotion. At the same meeting M. de La Landelle exhibited several models of aerial machines, constructed according to M. de Ponton d'Ainecourt's system, and which rose up automati cally into the air, eael carrying a certain weight, thereby proving the certainty of the theory. Meanwhile, an Anglo- French Society is said to have been formed for: the purpose of building a gigantic balloon at an altitude equal to two thirds of that of Notre-Dame, and which is to carry 80 persons, with abundance of provisions of all kinds, and even a printing-press, A Lyons firm is said to have already de livered 12,000 metres of white sarcenet, at 7f. a metre for this purpose. This monster balloon is to be inaugurated at the great Baden horse races in September next. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. THE POLISH QUESTION. The National Gazette of Berlin publishes a fresh manifesto from the Polish National Government, which repeats the declaration contained in a former proclamation emanating from the same source, and which was published about two months ago. In this new document, dated the 31st ultimo, the Polish National Government an nounces, as it did before, in the most formal man ner, " that it will turn a deaf ear to all who way call on it to lay down its arms, before Poland shall have been reconstituted with its limits of 1772." THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. REUTER'S TELEGRAM. STETTIN, A uG. 7. The Osstee Zeitung of to-day publishes intelligence from Poland, according to which the direction of the insurrection is now entirely in the hands of the aristocracy. The same paper asserts that the seat of the Na tional Polish Government is at Paris, and that the Prince Czartoryski is at its bead. His party has been ordered to agitate to the effect that be should be proclaimed King of Poland as soon as France should have declared war against Russia. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
