MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled heavy, and prices declined is par quarter. For barley, oats, beans, and peas, however, the trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The flour trade was quiet, at about stationary prices. Ad vices from America report a considerable fall in the value of wheat and flour, with a limited export inquiry for both articles. On the continent wheat is somewhat droop ing in price, but most other articles rule firm. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were moderate for the time of year. The imports from abroad consisted of 20,760 quarters of wheat ; 3,423 barley ; 53,524 oats ; 825 beans ; 1,430 peas ; 6,615 linseed ; 13,223 oilseeds; 3,000 maize; 150 sundry seeds; 991 sacks and 1,472 barrels of flour. About 500 quarters of new home-grown wheat were re ceived at our market to-day. The Talavera wheats on sale were of but middling quality, and were by no means equal in condition to last year's produce. Rough-chaff wheat, however, came to hand in excellent condition. The supply of old wheat on the stands was but mode rate, but the quality of the produce was good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was dull, and, compared with Monday last, a reduction of is to 2s per quarter took place in prices. New Talavera wheat sold at 50$, and new white rough chaff at 42s to 48s per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rately large. All descriptions sold heavily, and prices de clined is per quarter, compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of wheat were in limited request, at barely late rates, Spring corn, however, afloat, supported previous rates, There were a few parcels of new Kentish barley on the stands—quality, almost generally thin and sleety, Th e best samples realised 37s 6d, whilst business was done in secondary parcels at 36s per qr. For old home-grown aad foreign barley the trade was steady, and prices ruled tolerably firm. Malt was in moderate request, at the rates current on Monday last. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Both English and foreign descriptions were in steady request, at full quotations. The few beans of English growth on offer, changed hands at fully late rates.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer into to-day's market in but middling condition. Sales, generally, progressed slowly, at drooping prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were large and of prime quality. From Ireland and Scotland the supplies were small. Good and prime beasts sold somewhat steadily, but at a slight reduction in value. Inferior breeds were very dull, and 2d per 81bs lower. The general top figure for beef was 4s 10d; but a very few superior Scots found buyers at bs per 81ba. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 short-horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 49 Sects and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. As to number the show of sheep was seasonably good ; but most breeds came to hand in moderate condition. Downs, hall-breds, &a., sold steadily at full prices. Other wise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at 2d per 81bs less money. The best old Downs realised 58 4d per 81bs.

BOW-STREET• SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A GUARDSMAN.—Henry Procter, a private in the let battalion of Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar charged with assault. Police-constable GO A, said last night (Sunday) he was erossing the Green-park in plain clothes, when he heard a loud scream and cry of murder. He ran towards the spot from whence the cry seemed to proceed, and there found the prisoner struggling with a female. The prisoner immediately he (witness) came up struck him a blow inthe face, and then asked him what he had to do with the matter. He then told him he came to protect the woman from his violence, and that he should take him to the station-house. A struggle ensued, and he (witness) having nothing to pro tect himself, being off duty and in plain clothes, he remained with the prisoner for about ten minutes, waiting for a policeman, when prisoner took off his belt and struck him a blow with it. The constable on duty on Constitu tion-hill then came up, and witness told him to take the prisoner to the station for assaulting him. The female did not attend to make a charge against the man. He, witness, did not tell the prisoner he was a police-constable. On the way to the station the prisoner produced a two shilling piece, and told the constable who had him in custody that he (witness) had given it to him for a bad pur pose. The accusation was entirely groundless. Police-constable 179 A said he took the prisoner into custody. He did not know until the charge was being en tered at the station-house that the person he assaulted was the constable. He confirmed the assertion of the last wit ness with respect to the two-shilling piece. The prisoner denied that he took off his belt. Police-constable 179 A said while he was conveying the prisoner to the station he said the same thing, but a young man who was walking with them said, " Yes, you did." Brown said he did not know the man he had struck was a policeman. A sergeant from the prisoner's regiment said he was habitually absent without leave, and was addicted to drinking. Mr Flower said it was a very savage assault and one which he ehou2d feel it his duty to punish severely. If it had been proved tat the prisoner had known the person who interfered to potect the female from his unmanly vioilence to be a constabt..: or had the female attended, he should have sent him to pris,on without the option of a fine, but as that was not the case, it would influence his decision. in It was, however, a very bad case, a.:ld under all the cirorcum stances of the else he should fine the Prisoner £ 5 , default, commit him to prison with hard labour for one month. Timothy Foley, a man having the appearance of being a sweep, was placed at the bar charged with illegally sel ling spirits. Sergeant Rogers, of the metropolitan police, said the prisoner lived at 20, Lincoln-court, and on Sunday morn ing, about half-past three, his attention was called to loud laughing coming from Foley's house. He looked through an aperture in the shutter, and saw the prisoner standing in the midst of a group of 14 persons, with a bottle in his hand, selling the contents. He saw the prisoner receive money from various persons. and then he waited outside the house for a short time. He saw five people stagger from the place, and then he and another constable entered and took the prisoner into custody for illegally selling spirits. He had been charged and convicted of the same offence four or five times. An officer from the Excise then examined the bottles taken from the prisoner, and said they contained very weak gin. Mr Burnaby, the chief clerk, asked whether it was gin at all, or whether it was not some poisonous compound ? The excise officer said it was gin lowered to about 80 per cent below proof. The prisoner's charge, he believed, was 211 d. per class. Mr Flower said it was lamentable to think that a very useful act of Parliament should be, to a great extent frustrated by persons such as the pri soner. It was not to be supposed the prisoner did know the penalties he was incurring, because he had been four or five times charged with the same offence, and on one occasion fined £5O. He should now sentence him to pay a fine of £lOO, or in default, three months' imprison ment, with hard labour. Prisoner —£100 I You don't mean hard labour I Mr Flower—Yes, I perfectly well know that persons who carry on a trade like yours do not like work. Prisoner —No it ain't likely ; but Ido hope you'll think three months in prison is quite enough, without the labour. Mr Flower—No, I shall do nothing of the kind. Prisoner (scratching his head)—Tery well, then, I sup pose I must go and do it. was he when she also immediately came up dressed. Her excuse was that she had got up to assist the first servant• He then gave directions tor the third servant to be called, and she instantly also walked upstairs fully attired. This seemed to astonish him much. Prosecutor was perplexed what to do or how to act, till he heard a rustling noise about the house. He went to ascertain the cause of this, and discovered the first prisoner behind a curtain, the second under a table in the library, and the third in an upstairs room. The police were called in, and they were given into custody. They begged to be allowed to go. The prisoners now said that they had been admitted by the servants. Mr Yardley—You wero then courting them at a most improper hour. What business had you to invade this gentleman's house at such an hour ? You wore there im properly and immorally. I order each of you to enter into recognizinces to be of good behaviour for the future. The prcsecutor said he had sent his three servants away. The three prisoners work at Messrs. Combs and Dela field's, brewers. Per 81b. to sink tho offal. Aug. 10, Aug. 8, 1863. 1864.

Indeed, the trade for 1862'5, and older descriptions, must bo roported somewhat heavy. FOREIGN Hors.—The import of foreign hops at Lon don, last week, amounted to 875 bales from Now York, BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Moderato supplies of home-grown potatoes are on sale at these markets; but the receipts of foreign produce continue very small. On the whole, the trade is steady, and prices rule firm, as follows sent and Baum Regents Essex Shaws - lO5 to 100 s „ Kent Shaws BOB to 1108 „ WOOL. The tightness of the money market has caused the public sales of colonial wool to progress with less activity. The attendance of home buyers has, however, continued large, and as yet very little change has taken place in prices, the opening rates having in most transactions been steadily supported. A few parcels of wool which were offered, but which were not disposed of last week, have been withdrawn from the present sales, and will, if not disposed of privately, be offered at the winter series.

A RUFFIAN.—Michael Connor, a strange rough-looking fellow, who refused his name and address at the station, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently as saulting Police-set geant Dunne, No. 3H. Last n ght, at half-past nine o'clock Dunne was passing along Lenten-street, Whitechapel, when a young woman appealed to him for protection, and said the prisoner had been grossly insulting her. The prisoner came up directly and made an attempt to seiz3 the female, who was exceed ingly terrified at the "rude uncivil touch" of such a vil lain as the prisoner. Dunne told him to go away, on which the prisoner abused her and made a kick at her. Dunne most properly interfered, seized the prisoner, and allowed the young woman to proceed. The prisoner being thus disappointed of his prey attacked Dunne very fiercely, and struck him several times over the head and face, Dunne struggled with the prisoner until he obtained assistance, and then he lodged him in the station house. Dunne, who is one of the most quiet and best con ducted officers in the force, said the side of his head was very sore from the effects of the blows he received. The prisoner, on being asked for his occupation and address, pretended he did not know, and in a rich Cork brogue said, " I did not commit that offence, yer honner's wertchip.” Mr. Paget—What are you ? The prisoner—l should not like to tell you that same. Its a profession I am, and a ginteel one. Mr. Paget— What is your profession ? The prisoner made a pause, grinned, and said, " It's a match seller I am." (A laugh.) Mr Paget—What are you ? The prisoner—Sell lucifer matches. Mr Paget said the interference of Sergeant Dunne on behalf of a female who was insulted in the public street was most proper and judicious. The police could not do better than protect females who were insulted by ill-disposed and disoederly fellows in the streets. A violent assault had been committed cn the police sergeant, for which he sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. PICKPOCKETS ON STEAMBOATS.--11Tilliarn Mason, boy 16 years of age, very smartly dressed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with p'cking a lady's pocket on board a steamboat. Mrs A. Donoughue, trimming seller, 3, West-street, Golden-square, said that at about half-past six last even ing she got on board a Citizen steamboat, at Hungerford pier, to be conveyed to Chelsea. Shortly after she was asked by her niece whether she had lost anything from her pocket, when upon putting her hand there she found that her purse, containing upwards of ISs. had been stolen. Her niece proceeded a few paces along the deck, when she collared the prisoner, and preseautrix then asked him to give her her puree, when he affected surprise, and said he knew nothing about it. She told him she was sure he had her purse, and should give it her, when he suddenly pro duced it from his right hand, observing, " I beg pardon—l hope you won't do anything to me." She took the purse from him, and he was given into custody. Police-constable 347 V, said that when the charge was stated to the prisoner at the station, he said he picked the purse up under the seat where the lady was sitting. Mr Arnold asked the accused whether he wished to say anything. Prisoner replied that he did not pick the lady's pocket. He found the purse on the deck under the seat, as he stated at the station-house. Mary Ann Carr, the niece of the prosecutrix, said that she was with her aunt yesterday afternoon when she was robbed. There was no sitting room, and her aunt, who had been ill, was leaning upon her shoulder for support, witness holding her arm round her waist. Suddenly wit ness felt a pressure at her aunt's dress, and saw tho pri soner remove his hands from it, and that induced her to ask her aunt whether she had lost anything. Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until Wednesday. THE LONG VACATION.—On Wednesday next the long vacation commences, and the law and lawyers will rest, in a measure, until the 24th October. THE MERSEY RAMS.—The El Tonsson and El Monnassir, recently purchased by the Government from Messrs. Bravey, will be handed over to-day to Messrs Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, the builders, by Captain Paynter, of her Majesty's ship Majestic. Messrs. Laird have contracted with the Admiralty to complete them for sea. The vessels will be renamed respectively the Scorpion and the Wyvern. They are to be armed with four 300-pounders, throwing a broadside of 1,2001 b. The turrets are on Capt. Coles' cupola principle, The Scorpion will probably be toady in a few weeks, providing the damage she has suffered frov a winter's exposure, and when in an unfurnished state, ia not found to be very serious. THE BERRING FISHING IN CAITHNESS. — WICK, August 4,—To•day's fishing is, in conse quence of last evening turning oat wet and threatening, much lighter than that of yesterday, the average being about four crane, bringing the season's average to 30 crane. A good many of the boats returned early last night without shooting their nets, and of those that remained the majority were clean, the catch being chiefly confined to a few boats. About 1000 barrels were sold to-day at 26e. Lobster is poorly fished to-day. Yesterday Helmsdale averaged about four crane. All the boats along the coast are proceeding to sea to-night, with favourable weather. DISTRESSING DEATH BY MEANS OF A TOY.—A coroner's investigation was held at Breadsall last week respecting the death of a little girl, eight years of age, named Harrison, who wet with her death under very pain ful circumstaxes. It appears that a boy named Dolman was playing wio an instrument known as a dirt, a wooden tube through whic,,t an arrow is shot by means of a band of indiarubber, when the elastic slipped from between his fingers, the arrow was discharged in the air, and in its fall the iron spike of some thre3 quartets of an inch long stack in the head of the deceased. Another boy pulled out the arrow, and the girl did not seem to be seriously injured. Within the week, however, she became unveil, and died in a bout a month after the occurrence. It appeared from the post mortem examination that the arrow had penetrated through the skull into the brain, and thereby caPed an abscess to form, from which she died. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical and other eyi .• deuce, and the coroner, at the request of the jury, censured the lad, who is 14 years old, for using such a dangerous instrument as a plaything. CORRESPONDENCE FOR MOULMEIN AND RAN 000N.—Information hes been received from tile Director -General of the Post Office of India that the cor respondence for Moulmein and Rangoon, forwarded from the United Kingdom by the mail of the 20th and 20th of each month, will reach its destination more expeditiously if se nt by way of Penang, an d thence by packet direct, than via Calcutta; the saving in point of time, by the Penang route, being about nine days to Moulmein, and about four days to Rangoon. Any letters for Moulmein and Rangoon intended to be so forwarded must be specially addressed "via Penang," and must be paid at the higher rates of postage to which letters for Penang are liable, viz. :—Not exceeding half an ounce — Via Southampton, is; via Mar seilles, is 4d.—By command of the Postmaster-General. SINGULAR DEATH OF A .LITTLE BOY. week Mr Taylor held an inquest on the body of a child three years old, the son of Mr Joshua Rawlin, farmer, Tankersley, who met his death very singularly. It seemed from the evidence that the child's mother had just been confined, but not progressing very favourably towards convalescence, the surgeon who attended her left her three powders to allay pain and induce sleep. These powders were to be taken in preserves, and on Tuesday morning, the nurse having prepared one for Mrs Rawlin in order to give it to her as soon as alio awoke (she was;then sleep - ing with her child by h er side) left the room. On her re turn Mrs Rawlin told her that the child had been out of bed, and said he had eaten " the goody." Re was then snoring loudly, and although she tried to route him she could not, and he shortly afterwards died. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental death."—Wakefied Journal. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY EXTENSION TO FINSBURY.—Rapid progress is now being made in the settlements for property, and the clearing of the ground for this extension. The contractor, Mr. Belk, has full pos session of all the ground as far as Aldersgate-street, with the exception of two blocks of buildings lately occupied by the "London Printing and PutColishlngwholesale Company," and Messrs. Williams, Cooper and ~ and paper-hanging manufacturers, and they are advertised for sale and clearance in a few days, by Messrs. Pullen, Horne, Eversfield, and Co. The principal station, a most commodious and architecturally elegant building, will be e rected in Aldersgate-street, between the corner of Long lane and Carthusian-street. Four lines of rail, two narrow and two broad guage, will be reached by a flight of stairs, situate on either side of the intended station.

The Emperor of the French at N W A letter from Vichy, of the 3d, says— This bathing place contains at the present mom Out ay, Emperor, a King, a Pasha, and a great nun tber of eminent personages, and 10,000 bathers and Wa t er drinkers. The King, however, is on tho p( tof departing. Ascending from the new parks foil ow ing the capricious windings of the river, on the right are seen the imperial chalets inhabited by the Emperor and his suite, These chalets, six in. Iv um. ber, are entered from a fine boulevard of 'et ent creation. They stand in the middle of spa ei‘ )us squares very prettily laid out, and their price !Apia entrance is at the back, towards the English 1 )ark. The ground floor, which is raised on a base ment story, consists of a saloon, a dining room, a Large bed room, and a study. The first floor is distributed in nearly the same manner. Th e chalet at present occupied by the Emperor, and sier mounted by the French flag, is nearly tile same as that on tho left hand which he inhabited last year. Besides the Emperor's cha'.et, only two others are cfficially occupied. Imrae diately to the left is that of the ornerly offic,irs, while that of the right is appropriated to M. 111 guard and his Majesty's cabinet. M. Dronyn de Lhuys, during his stay at Vichy, also inhabited t his chalet. The other chalets belong to the Marquis do Clermont-Tonnerre, M. Fould, and M. Ernest Andres. There is no kitchen in the Emperor's chalet, and the basement story of the building on the left hand is appropriated to that purpose, and an underground passage constantly lighted with gas forms a communication between the two buildings. Opposite, on the other side of the Boulevard Napo leon 111., is a slip of ground 50 metres long by 24 wide, on which stand eight cottages surrounded by gardens enclosed by breast-high palisades. Five of them have been purchased by the Emperor and pre• sented by him to his friend and physician, Dr. Con. neau ; M. Leon, his first valet de chambre, an old and faithful servant; M. Dupuis, first controller; and M. Felix, first huissier of the palace. The other three are for sale. Eighteen more cottages are to be built further on. All these constructions, both chalets and cottages, of elegant style, built of brick, stone, and wood, with basements of red cement in crusted with pebbles, have a light and cheerful appearance, and are very pleasing to the eye, being in perfect harmony with the natural scenery around. The Emperor rises early, takes a bath at seven, breakfasts at ten, and dines at five. From half. past eleven to one, or even later, his Majesty walks in the park, like the other bathers, sometimes ac companied by General de Beville, at others by the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre, or Colonels the Marquis de Toulongeon and Count Lepic, his orderly officers. Wherever he passes the crowd respect fully salute him. A day or two ago a little girl, five years of age, who was selling flowers, offered the Emperor a carnation, without knowing to whom she spoke. His Majesty took the flower and gave her a napoleon, with which she scampered off in great delight. A similar occurrence took place two mornings since, when a little boy , who was selling journals, meeting the Emperor returning from the bath, offered him the idoniteur du Soir, which Wall accepted and paid for with a napoleon, to the young dealer's unbounded amazement. The Walpurgis Dance at Washington, WRITTEN FOR THE " NEW YORK DAILY NEWS" BY 44 [lt is hardly necessary to hint that " Ithuriel" is no other for the nonce than Dr. Charles Mackay, the Imes' Correspondent.] The night was heavy and mirk, The moon shone dusky red, The air had an odour of sulphurous smoke And of corpses newly dead. And I saw in fact, or dream, Or both confused in one, A dance and a revel and maniac rout Too hideous for the sun ; And out of it came a cry : " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Let the witches' caldron boil " With a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! blood ! blood " Slabby and thick as mud, • "To sprinkle the hungry soil " For tho oarraivol of oloushter I" Beneath the caldron cracked A pool and whirl of flame, Around the caldron ganibord and howl'd A crowd without a name; Fierce war zealots and preachers, Buffoons, contractors, thieves, Liars, blasphemers, and parasites As thick as the Summer leaves, And still they claimed and shouted, " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Let the hell-broth sputter and boil "Kith a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Stubby and thick as mud, " To sprinkle the hungry soil " For the carnival of slaughter I" Naked, obscene and cruel, They screamed and jibed and roar'd, They knew their God was the Devil, Their King and Chief and Lord; And they worshipped at his tootslool, And said, "Thy kingdom come, 16 When the world shill be to the strongest "And be ruled by beat of drum, "Drum beat and flesh of cannon I " Blood ! Blood ! Blood ! " Let the witches' caldron boil " With a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! Blood ! Blood !

One tall, and bony and lank Stood forward from the rest, And told a ribald story With a leer to give it zest, And said, "Our fire burns feebly, " We must pile it up anew; " Tell me the fuel to feed it with " Ye friends and comrades true I " And they shouted with mad rejoicing, " Blood ! blood ! blood ! "Let the witches' caldron boil "With a nation's tears for water! " Blood! Blood! Blood! " Slabby and thick as mud, " To sprinkle the hungry soil "For the carnival of slaughter I " He cut down the Constitution Thai grew so fair and well, And chopped the gracious tree to logs To feed his fire of hell.

We don't in the least object to professional responsibility. When a man does any given act, on the due performance of which hangs the life of a fellow-creature, he ought to be, and to feel himself answerable for any bad consequences which may:follow from want of care and skill. But then ho must have discretionary powers to match ; he must be a free agent and not a mere tool of others, and must have his hands quite unshackled in all that relates to his department. Any one who administers chloroform will do well to bear this in mind for the future, and may take more than one useful hint from the proceedings at a late inquest at St Mary's Hos pital. It was a great toe case—an operation highly painful, but not dangerous to life, and unluckily not surrou n d e d with surgical interest which begets intense caution at every step. It was, too, just on that part of the body which is shown to retain its morbid sensibility the longest. The chlohform was administered, and in a short time the patient was found to be dead. The post mortem ex amination showed that there was fatty degeneration of the heart, which would enfeeble its action. Mr Edwards, the chloroformist, said he examined the chest of the patient be fore the operation, and although he thought him an un favourable subject, he thought he had not the right to re fuse chloroform, as ho was called upon to do so. On the other hand, Mr. A. B. Wall, who had attended the patient many years, thought there was no extra risk ; neither did Mr. Lane, who significantly said that Mr. Edwards had not expressed any unfavourable opinion of the patient, and that if he had he would have been relieved of the responsibility of administer ing. the chloroform; for, of course, if the surgeons had de termined on giving it after hearing his objections, they would have taken on themselves a responsibility which was plainly inferred now rested with the chloroformist. The jury, after along consultation, returned a verdict affirming that the patient died " from the mortal effects of chloroform, administered whilst he was labouring under organic disease of the heart, and that the said death arose from misad venture." Not much in this, some may think; but they would be wrong. The verdict is not a verdict of " acci dental death," but implies a grave censure, and so we once heard it laid down by the late Mr. Wakley at an inquest on a death from the same cause. "In a case of misadventure (a) the law presumes negligence, or at least a want of sufli ee may shades be t , m anslaughter" at by which what i s another; so chloroformists had better bewar e i n time, and cient caution in him who was so unf ortunate as to commit it; who, therefore, is not altogether f au l t l ess. " But the l , a ,ra w i b sa o d ok Te s n s t h u o r w e,, a atnumber one t time fine take care that their degree of responsibility is clearly laid down, and that a commensurate degree of authority go therewith. It will never do for the future that the chloroformist shall, on the one hand, find himself saddled with a verdict of mis adventure ; and, on the other, that he shall be able to say to the jury, as Mr Edwards did, "My duty is only to give the chloroform, and I know nothing of the patient." The first point every chloroformist ought to have cleared up is, who is responsible for the patient's fitness? All justice and common sense show that this usually lies at the door of the persons who know the patient, and have treated him, and recom mend an operation. It is absurd to require a young man, called upon to administer chloroform to a dczen patients in succession whom he has never before seen, to pronounce off-hand that each has no organic disease of the heart. In this very case the practitioner who had attended the de ceased for years, and the surgeon who operated, knew nothing of it, and it would be preposterous to censure Mr Edwards on this ground. It is quite clear that some one ought to be called on to say whether a patient is or is not fit to take chloroform, and that if this is to be the task of the chloroformist, he ought to be called in in consultation beforehand, and enabled to learn all the patient's history. But with respect to this " disease of the heart." Let us be frank ;—it is a little too like the "cat in the cupboard" that devours the cream and breaks the crockery. What are the evidences of diseased heart ? Breathless- ness, faintness, angina, or even gouty palpitation? But if these be evidence, where is the person past middle life who has a sound heart ? It we except the most athletic young men in the prime of life, where is the man whose heart would not, if it could be got at, betray "traces of fatty degeneration ?" As for the fat and lazy men, the lean and haggard over-anxious men, the studious sedentary men, and the fast men,—the women of all ages who lead town lives, the " motherly,women," full-bosomed, the "fat, fair, and forty, or " fat, puffy, and sixty," and the people of either sex who have been long ill or bedridden,--- what kind of hearts have they ? We cannot see the heart, but we can see the calves of the legs, and judge that what makes the one wasted and scft will not spare the other. Then if we recollect the tricks of acute rheumatism and gout, we suspect that there are not 5 per cent of the popu lation above 30 whose hearts, if carefully cut up, would not betray some " traces of fatty degeneration," to solace the misadventures of the chloroformist. And are all these, the suffering and invalid part of our race, par excellence, to be denied chloroform in labour, or operation, or injury ? Most assuredly not. We entreat cur dear brethren the chloreforroists just to take for granted that all hearts are fatty, and to take their time ; and then the patient will be safe, though his heart be ricketty, and there will be no mis adventure. The chlorofermist rust make himself master of the situation. He ought to have the imperturbability of a Turk, and be as incapable of hurry as a German postillion. It is the fifth operation of the day! the theatre is crammed ! the air vaporous and carbonised the s'udents anxious to get off to their afternoon lecture 1 and one of the great ornaments of surgery, who has a dozen consultations before dinner, waits to get his last operation done I Never mind. The chloroformist should not budge an inch. The opera tor must wait for him. The timid young practitioner at tends Lady Frail at her dentist's, and spares her ladyship's consciousness the horrors of feeling a stump extracted. The patient is a little flurried, and sitting upright—all bad for chloroform. She gets a little noisy. " Can't you push it ?" says the dentist, looking at his watch, T a k e your time, good chloroformist, we say, or there will be a misadventure. Entice the patient into sleep, slowly and gently. He cannot resist even a feeble vapour if given long enough. Put your faith in the rule of three. If 3 per cent. of vapour will stop a degenerate heart in four minutes, halve the vapour and double the time and the heart will not stop. Festina lento. Put this label on your chloroform bottle ) and there will be an end of misadventure. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Aug. B.—Wind this day at noon—South- West ; moderate breeze and fine weather.

A train running from Calais to St. Omer, three mornings since, was partially thrown of the rails. about a league from the latter place, by coming against a cow which had strayed on the line. The damage done, beyond killing the animal, was trifling, but the train was delayed nearly two hours. A tragical event lately took place at Palermo. A blind violinist named Giuseppe Dellaria, alias Gaspanelli, suspecting that his wife, who evacised the calling of a midwife, was faithless to hire, resolved on revenge. In the middle of the night, when his wife was asleep, he got up and cut her threat with a razor. When satisfied that big guilty purpose had been effected, he quietly left the how, and going to the police gave hinizel: into elt:itodyf
