LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr Commissioner Holroyd was the Commissioner of the day, but there were no publio sittings before him. There was a very long list of meetings for choice of assignees, but which were generally unimportant. EN RE THOMAS BURROUGHS. This bankrupt was described as of Angel-court and of Montpelier-villas, South Lambeth-road, stockbroker, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. It will no doubt be remembered that the bankrupt was charged a few days since of improperly obtaining possession of certain stock. Mr Grantham, of Porchester-street, Edgware-road, was chosen assignee; and Messrs Lewis and Lewis are the soli citors to the estate. The debts are stated at £1,147, and it is estimated that the assets will pay the creditors in full. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day. MARLBOROUGLI-STREET. SUICIDE or A PRISONER UNDER REMAND ON A CHAIIGE or ATTEMPTED MURDER.—A few days ago a man named Wm. Jessemer, an engineer living in Wardour-street, Soho, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stabbing, with a clasp knife, a man flannel Leonard Arthur Blackburn, in the City of London publichouse, Berwick-street, Soho, and remanded until to-day, the injured man being unable to leave the Middlesex B ospital. This morning Sergeant Freeman, in charge of the pri soners' van, handed to Mr Tyrwhitt a certificate from the House of Detention, to the effect that Jessemer had com mitted suicide that morning, being found hanging and quite dead in his cell about 6 o'clock, on being visited by one of the warders, It appears that Jessemer was visited ty one of his shop mates yesterday, and seemed in a desponding state, saying that he should not live two months of his punishment, and wishing his shop:nate an expressive " Good bye." The injured man is stated to be recovering from the effects of the wound, BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A WIFE BY a PENSIONER.— John Stephens, a tall, strongly-built man, receiving a pen sion for his services as a soldier in the Crimea, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, with violently assaulting his wife, and breaking her nose with an iron candlestick, and also with assaulting his son, a boy about 14 years of age. Tke wife said she had been married to the prisoner for 20 years. Yesterday she was out at work, and on coming home found the prisoner at a beer shop. She went to him to ask him for a key, which he gave her. On going home she found that the ,prisoner had sold the bedstead to a " dolly" shopkeeper. The prisoner shortly afterwards came home, and she then asked him why he had sold the bedstead and left the children to lie on the floor. The pri soner then began knocking her about, and gave her a vio lent blow on the nose with a candlestick. He then went out, but returned and knocked her down. She was smothered with blood from her nose, and afterwards went to the Middlesex Hospital and had it dressed. Mr Tyrwhitt asked the poor woman whether her hues band had ever done such a thing before, and she replied, "Many times. Ho draws his pensi-m fur the Crimea and spends it, and never pays any of the rent. All I wish him to do is to let me keep a home for my children." John Gray Stephens, the son, said that on going with a constable to the beer shop to point his father out to the con stable. his father struck him a severe blow on the head. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the boy slid his mother worked and kept the home. Police-constable Appleby, 47 E, said the surgeon at the hospital said the complainant's nose was broken. The prisoner said he did not wish to say anything. Mr Tyrwhitt remarked, in severe terms, on the prisoner's conduct, and said he had always observed that the man who did nothing for his wife and family generally ill-used them into the bargain. He should commit the prisoner for three calendar months for the assault on his wife, and fine him 40s or another month for the assault on his son. The prisoner, as he was leaving the dock, said "Thank you," WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ASSAULTS UPON WOMEN.—Christopher Stott, a labouring man, was charged with the following un provoked assaults: Mrs Lloyd, the wife of an artimn, said that she was re turning home through Cheyne- walk, Chelsea, at a little after 10 last night, in company with her husband and some friends, when she was attacked by the defendant. She was walking with a Mrs Kemp alone, her husband having stopped behind to bid his uncle and aunt good bye, when the defendant pushed up against her, and then turned round and struck her two or three times and knocked her down. He also assaulted her friend. Mrs Kemp said that she and Mrs Lloyd were standing talking together waiting for the lager's hut band, when de ndant pushed in between them, and on their acquiring what he did that for, struck them both in a very disgraceful way. Defendant said that he merely pushed against the women by accident, when they both struck him. The women both positively denied it. John Alpen, 203 A, said, that ho hsard cries of murder and police, and found one of the complainants bleeding from the nose, and the other from the mouth, and took the de fendant, who was intoxicated, into custody. The defendant persevered in his statement that the women attacked him, and declared that he merely pushed them oft Mr Arnold said that it was quite clear that however the affair commenced the defendant had been guilty of two unjustifiable assaults, for which he should commit him for two months' hard labour 4n the House of Correction.

Abbott were contractors for carting and conveying coke from the premises and works of the Commercial Gas Company, in Stepney, to their customers, 0 wing to complaints of deficient delivery on the part of some of the gas company's customers, the prosecutors deter mined on making efforts to detect and bring the suspected parties to justice. The prisoners were entrusted on Satur- day last with the charge of two oarts each, containing 24 sacks of coke, for conveyance from the gas works to the factory of Messrs. Ravenshill and Salkeld, the engineers at Blackwell. On the way there the prisoners went out of the direct route, and proceeded to Railway-street, Bromley, where each of them removed two sacks of coke from their carts and left them at two separate houses, one in Mary terrace, the other in Railway-street. The prisoners then arranged the sacks of coke in their carts to make it appear there was no deficiency. On the arrival of the prisoners with their loads of coke at Ravenhill and Salkeld's factory,. there were only 22 sacks of coke in each cart. Weldon made very light of the transaction when he was spoken to about the deficiency, and proposed to one of Ravenhill and Salkeld's men to give a receipt for 7i chaldrons of coke, 4 chaldrons, part of the same order, having been delivered the same morning, but this was de clined. No receipt was given. Sinco then all the witnesses necessary to complete the case had been collected ; the sale and delivery of the four sacks of coke stolen from the carts would be proved, and it also would he clearly made out that the prisoners went a half mile out of their way. Mr. Edward Shone, foreman of the coke ground of the Commercial Gas Company. Mr. Robert Drummond, fore man to Mr. John Abbott, Charles King Rome, store-keeper to Ravenhill and Salkeld, and other witnesses were called who proved the case as stated by Mr Young. Mr Paget intimated that the receivers of the charcoal ought to be reached if possible, and remanded the prisoners. MARKETS—This Day. lIAY BURKE fS.

Wm, Gutley, a police constable, 96 11, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging him with assault ing Sarah Gompertz, a married woman, of the Jewish per suasion, and causing her bodily harm ; there was also a count charging a common assault. The case has already been fully before the public ou the occasion of the trial which took place at the Middlesex Sessions, when, after a lengthened trial, the jury being unable to agree, the assistant judge discharged them, and the indictment was then removed by certiorari into this Court, From the evidence of the prosecutrix, it appeared that the defendant's beat was in MAI-lane, Spitalfields, and that on the 19th August she was passing along that place, and met the defendant face to face on his turning out of the street into the lane. He hid a carrot in his hand at the time, which it a, pared he had taken from one of the stalls !n the lane, and was in the act of eating some of it, when he spat it iu prosecutrix' s ace. She remonstrated with him, and asked him what he did it for, upon which he commenced abusing her and calling her very disgusting names. The prosecutrix again asked him why he assaulted her, when ho told h..r to go away or ho would take her to the station. He began to pull her along in a very violent manner, and she then again asked why he was illusing har after insulting her. She then asked him to put her bonnet on, which he had knocked off, but he refused to do so, and continued pulling her along in a very violent manner. Her dress was torn off her back, in spite of her remonstrances to allow her to fasten her clothes and go along decently, and the prisoner eventually took her to the station, where Mrs Gumpertz asked what charge he had to make against her. He said there was a row, and that he had told her to move on, and that she re fused. The inspector said there was no charge, and discharged the prosecutrix, who was at the time in a state of pregnancy, and very much distressed at being taken into custody, and discharged. She. s Jffered so much from the defendant's ill-usage that she was obliged to have medical asaie.tanee for several days. A. summons was taken out against the defendant in the meantime, and the case was sent to the Middlesex Sessions, when it resulted as we have above mentioned. The proecutrix to-day was examined at considerable length by Mr Metedlfe as to her former statement before tho magistrate, and also on the occasion of the trial at the Mid dlesex Session. She adhered to the statement she had made on the Ist instant. David Cohcn, a confectioner in Spitalfields, said he saw the prisoner commit the assault in a most violent manner, and that he also dragged Mrs Gompertz along the lane in a vory savage manner, her dress being all torn to:ribbons, and her bosom exposed. Mrs Aaron said she also witnessed the assault, that it was most unjustifiable, and that the prisoner altogether acted in a moat unmanly manner. A domestic servant named Casey, residing in Ball-lane, said she also saw the assault, and that the constable acted in a very cruel manner to Mrs Gompertz. Abraham Fiston said he witnessed a policeman taking Mrs Gompertz to the station-house in a most disgraceful manner. Her breast was exposed and her dress torn. Her bonnet was hanging at her back. Cross-examined by Mr Meterlre—He did not attend at Clerkenwell because the Jewish holiday commenced on that day. He did not hear Mrs Gompertz give her evidence in the former trial. He was not in the court at all during the trial. He would swear he was not in court whilst the trial was going on. He was at Clerkenwell on the Friday, but the trial was put off until the Wednesday. He did nut hear Mrs Compertz give her evidence. He was not asked to come and give evidence. He went to Mrs Gompertz of his own accord. Re-examined.—He heard some remark made by some person in the shop that induced him to go to Mrs Qom- pertz. Alfred Harrison, in the employ of the North Western Railway, said he partly saw the assault committed. He heard the prosecuttix accuse the prisoner of spitting the oarrot in her face. He called her a liar, and then said, " Which way are you going r' He afterwards seized her by the collar and put his knee to the back of her person, and pulled her violently up. Her dress was torn off and her bonnet was hanging at her back by the strings. The constable used the prose• cutrix in a very rough manner on the way to the station. When they were in the station house, he heard the prisoner admit having the carrot in his hand. The defendant also had made use of insulting expressions towards him (witness). Prisoner told him he thought he was in want of - a shilling, and that was the reason that ho had taken part in the matter. He denied the assertion with the greatest indignation. lie attended simply from a sense of justice. Mr Metcalfe addressed the jury for the prisoner, con tending that he was a constable of the highest character, and entirely incapable of acting in the way imputed to him, (the jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press.) CIVIL WAR.—Coh Charles Russell Lowell, jun., was wounded in the battle of Cedar Creek, on Wed nesday, and died the next day. Of the (particulars of his death nothing is as yet known ; but he fell, we may be sure, at the head of his men—the post of honour and of day that he never yet left in battle. Hitherto he has seemed to bear almost a charmed life, for 12 times before has his horse fallen beneath him pierced by bullets. But a life so carried, always in the very thickest of the fight, could hardly fail to meet, at length, with certain death, It is the death of the true soldier, and one which he, though with more to live for than falls to the lot of most men, has never shrunk from for a moment. Col. Lowell sought service at the outbreak of the war. Though not bred to the profession of arms, his mill • tary genius, and his great mental resources attracted notico at Washington the first summer of the rebellion, and a commission as captain in the regular army was given him. He served with the 6th Regular Cavalry and as a staff officer till April, 1863, whe n h e w as appointed to the com mand of the 2d Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. Since then he has been for most, if not all, of the time in com mand of the cavalry in and about Washington, the War Department confiding implicitly in:his vigilance and activity a faith he has justified in many an encounter with Moscby and his guerilla bands, protecting the city and the adjacent country from their bold and dashing raids. For some time he has been in command of a brigade, and when Sheridan took command in the valley ,Lowell gladly accepted the opportunity of serving i n a regular campaign, and of being released from the guard duty to which the depart ment had for some time restricted him. In every battle in the valley s he had won such distinction and done such service that a brigadier -general's commission would before long have been bes towed upon hies. Had he lived he must, should the war cont i nue have taken high rank. He did not know what fea r was. Among his men he inspired con fidence and love ; his mind and character possessed all those qualities which make the successful soldier and fitted him to be a leader. Ile had great physical endurance, was young—not yet 30 -- and his whole soul was absorbed in the suppression of the rebellion and in serving the true inte rest of his country, His death is that country's great loss. Col. Lowell was the only surviving son of Mr C. R. Lowell, of Boston, and grandson of the late Rev. Dr Lowell, of Cambridge, His brother, James Russell Lowell, a lieu tenant in the brave 20th Massachusetts Regiment, was wounded in the battle of Malvern Hill, was left upon the field, fell into the halide of the rebels, and died in four days. Another grandson of Dr L owe ll an d fi rs t cous i n ' of these young men, Wm. Lowell Putnam, then an only surviving son, was killed, a lieutenant in the 20th Massachusetts, at , Ball's Bluff. Colonel Lowell married about a year since a daughter of Francis Geo. Shaw, of Staten Island, and sister of Col. Robert G. Shaw, the only son of his parents, who fell at the head of his regiment, the Massachusetts 54th, in W agner. Theodore Markman, the onlythe o f u t h p e o n Rev.F o r t JohnV l'arkman, whose wife and the mother of Colonel Shaw aro sisters, fell at the battle of Newbern, North Carolina.

BerlinAl the Gesvilbehafe Stern did a like homage by the executiou of the " Palua" oratorio French Academy of Sciences, At the last sitting a paper was received from M. Pisani on a new mineral discovered by him in Corn wall, and to which he has thought proper to attach the (to English ears at least) odd appellation of deviline, in honour of M. H. St. Claire Deville, This mineral is found in crusts composed of an infinite number of small crystalline plates. Under the polarizing microscope it manifests the property of double refraction. Its fracture partaken both of the fibrous and lamellary forms, and presents a silky appearance ; its colour is a greenish blue. It has but little cohesion, is easily crushed be tween the fingers, and adheres to them ; it also Clings to the tongue. Under the blow-pipe it yields a button of copper. Its other components are sul phuric acid, lime, and protoxide of iron.—M. Paul Gervais sent in a paper on a case of pDlymelia, cr ccess of members, in a frog of the genus Pelobates, and another in a species of ray-fish. The frog had ' a supplementary paw attached to the front one en the left side; the ray had two dorsal fins near the cervical region, and of form resembling the pectorial ones peculiar to the species. This fish was caught alive near Cette; as for the hog it is the fourth instance of polymelia on record in the family of Batracians.—M . Berthelot communicated certain researches of his on formic acid, from which it ap pears that vaporised formic acid subjected to the influence of a high temperature is decomposed with a considerable development of heat, and that its de composition may be effected under those circum stances either into water and oxid of carbon, or into carbonic acid and hydrogen.—M. De scloireaux wrote to state that the meteorite of Orgneil, which excited such interest last spring, contains a crystallised substance, the presence of which has not yet been observed in meteorites, and which on our earth is- only to b© met with in talcoas schistus, and in a few very rare veins. This substance is a carbonate of magnesia and iron. Toe crystals found in the meteorite above alluded to have the appearance of oblique parallel°. pipeds, or obtuse rhombohedrons of an angle of about 106 degrees. To these remarks M. Daub:ea adds that the carbonate in question is known under the name of breunerite, and M. Cloetz shows that meteorite contains 0 00057 of carbonic acid per gramme. The Alleged Irregularities by Bankruptcy Officials. On Saturday, there was a public investigation before Mr Commissioner Sanders, by order of the Chief Registrar, into certain alleged irregularities in the accounte of Mr Harris, the official assignee of the Nottingham Division of the BirmingharaDistrict Court of Bankruptcy. Mr Motterham, who represented the Chief Registrar, said the gravamen of the charge against Mr Harris was that, having large sums of money in hand belonging to other estates, he used a por tion of these moneys for his owa private purposes, and at times he had not at his banker's a sufficient sum of money by several hundreds to meet what was actually due to dif ferent es'ates. It was shown by his cash book that on the 16th of July, Mr Haifa had £1,543 on account of bank rupts' es+ates; while at his official bankers, if he might so term them, he had only £577 18s 3d. The Commissioner— Do you charge him then with having used th '3 balance for his own pi ivata purposes ? Mr Motteram— I do not say how he applici it. On the Ist of September, it appeared by the cash book that there wee upwards of £2,000 due to bankrupts' estates, but he had only £541 to his credit at the bank, leaving a deficiency of £1,500. Surely Mr Harris could tell whether those sums were or were not applicable for the purpose of bankrupts' estatet . . Al er same further remarks, Mr Harris was exam'ned. He said that on the 16th July, 1863, he was accountable for a balance is hand of £1,643 3s Bd. He ought not to have had that awn at the bark. He had received that sum on account of bank rupts' estates. He had disbursed out of that £1,513 on ac count of bankrupts' estates £636 15s 6d, and there was £577 18a 3d at his credit at the bank. There were £lOO in hand, cash and post-Ace orders, which sum he was entitled to hold. That made altogether X 1,318 13s 9d. There were various memoranda with his cashier at the time amounting to the difference. For ,instance, there was £5O 2s 3d charged for bankers' commission, which had been carried to the debit of various bankrupts' estates. He had also I 0 U's for a balance due by a late cashier in his employ, amounting to £lolBs sd. Ile had never received it, but he held himself responsible for it, and had since paid the sum, He never paid into his private account at the bank sums recaived on account of bankrupts. The book produced . . woted show to what extent the moneys belonging to estates were mixed with his own private moneys. P.a.v:ous to the act of 1861, official assigmees paid out of their °win pocket all sums for office Pnd other petty expenses. By the act of 1861 he was paid by salary, end the accounts had beln kept in a different way since he was so instructed by Mr Ayrton. No rule had been laid down as to the mode of paying these cffic3 charges. Mr Motteram said he wanted en answer yes or no t • o the question whether on the 16th day of July Mr Harris's private money was mixed up with what belonged to bankrupts' estates. Mr Harris— I say that it was, and can give au explanation. I dispute some of the balances struck by the commissioners. They are not correct on Aug. 16, in wl'ich it is put £338188. I say it was £859. The balance of the estates on Dec. 1, instead of being £2,012 9s id, ought to have been£l,674 19s Id, There is an entry on both sides of the account, £337 10s, which appears as a transfer from one estate to another. I never received or paid the money. On April 16, I was debited with £1,606 3s 101. which should be £1,5063s 10d. It was en error in casting by Mr Harding's clerk. There is an error of £52 in another account. With the exception of some trifling errors the other balances are correct in the commissioners' appendix subject to my being allowed to account for the difference in the balances for which 1 am held responsible, and the sum in the bank. I could produce an account showing:how all the differences arise, There are various payment? for such as office and clerks' salaries, which are not always posted to the debit of such particular estate. I did not in 1863 pay salaries out of my own pocket. My cash books showed I had received those amounts. Mr Motteram—That comes of mixing your private moneys with those belonging to bankrupts' estates. Mr HarriT—lt comes of not receiving proper instructions as to the management of the accounts. It was not until Messrs Ayrton and Harding pointed out a different way of keeping the accounts that the system was altered. Mr Motteram—Can you explain how it was that whilst you had in hand on July sth £1,543, you had only £517 18s 3d in the bank ?Mr Harris—l begin by stating that I paid £lO 10s 10d on account of the clerks' salaries. Mr Motteram—Do you claim a right to use the funds from bankrupts' estates to pay your clerks P Mr Harris—Certainly. Mr Cave said that under the 31st sec tion of the Bankruptcy Act of 1861 the official assignee was empowered to pay clerks salaries out of the court funds. The learned counsel also remarked that there were other sums he had paid away without taking any receipts. al‘lr Motteram—What light had you to pay the salaries? Mr Harris—They were allowed by the Court. Mr Motteram— Have you any books or statement of the accounts to show how the £1,543 came into your hands? Mr Harris—lt is shown by this book. The payments aro £lO morn than the receipts. Mr Motteram—Hava you taken any pains to se parate those accounts which ere purely official P Mr Harris —The list of these accounts is made every halt-year. The Commissioner said he should like to know how the Com missioners, Messrs Ayrton and Harding, had arrived at the position that the money in excess had been withheld more than a week. It seemed to him that that was the grava men. Mr Harris—l can show that, although I had only £5lB in the bank book, I discharged myself of the surplus. I have paid sums on bankrupts' estates for which I am en- titled to take credit, and I say that I have to account for £BO6. Mr Cave said the mode of keeping the books had given rise to a good deal of misapprehension. The sums put down as paid away had been paid to particular estates, and of course there were balances of payments which required to be made. Mr Harris—May I call Mr Motteram's attention to the account of other official assignees similar to my own? Mr Motteram—l think we have as much before us as we can get through, I have arrived at the conclusion that the eke. mination conducted as it now is, without the aid of an ac countant, will be of little avail. After sornefurther discession the inquiry was adjourned. FOOT RACE.—An exciting foot race between Ber geant Smith, 59th Regiment, and Private Wheat fey, 2d battalion Grenadier Guards. came off on the Farn borough-road, Aldershott, yesterday, the match being for £2O aside, Smith having two yards' start inside the mark. Smith has lately won for himself the distinction of "champion of Aldershott Camp." After several ineffec tual attempts a start was at length effected. Both men ran well, but Wheatloy's superiority was soon manifested. At 15 yards from the winning post ho threw up his arms, as showing he was ,winning; Smith put on a spurt, but the guardsman kept easily on, and won by about a yard. The betting had been in favour of the sergeant, and many seemed disappointed at the result. About 3,000 military and civilian spectators were present, including a large number of offi cers. Sergeant Smith took hie defeat in very good style. His friends, however, complain of the start made, and say that the guardsman gained an undue advantage by the pistol only snapping, and Smith, not at first- heeding this, but " feeling" Wheatley start, almost involuntarily did so himself. kREPRESENTATION OF MALDON.—At a meeting of the Conservative Club, held at Maldon last week, Mr H. J. Selwyn, a son-in-law of the late Lord Lyndhurst,announced his intention of offering himself as candidate for the borough at the next general election, in conjunction w'th Mr Pea cocke, MX., on the Conservative interest, At present Maldon returns one Conservative and one Liberal, Mr and Mrs C. S. Stratton (General Toro Thumb and lady) and family still continue to receive company at Cataldi's Hotel, Dover-street, Piccadilly. The honour of issuing the invitation cards (without which no person is admitted) has, we understand, been conferred upon Mr Mitchell, of the Royal Library, New Bond-street. ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ALDERSHOT.—tiointlra, Sergeant Oliver, of the Royal Engineers, who is stationed at Aldershot, has been arrested on the charge of attempt. ing to murder his wife, by cutting her throat. It appears that the prisoner is a married man, but, as he got married without leave, his wife had to reside out of barracks, and she rented apartments in Denmark-street, Aldershot. On Sunday afternoon an officer saw Oliver rolling about Den mark-street in a state of intoxication. - Ile proceeded in search of a patrol, for the purpose of giving the offender into custody. Upon reaching the spot in company with the police, he heard cries of murder. The door of the house from which the cries came was burst open, and Oliver was caught in the very act of cutting his wife's throat. At the moment he was apprehended he had inlcted two severe wounds. Dr. Gascoigne, of the Royal Engineers, attended the woman, and it is expected that she will recover. SINGULAR ROBBERY OF £360 AND OTHER VALU ABLES AT ELWICK HALL.:—A fortunate yet strange discovery of stolen property took place on Wednesday, at Elwick, rear West Hartlepool, In August, 1863, Mr Baron Park's son was a guest of the Rev. J. A. Park, at Elwick Hall, and on the night of the 11th of August, before the household had retired .to rest, a pocket-book, containing two Bank of England notes, one for £2OJ and the other for £lOO, a cheque for £57, foar sovereigns and some silver, a massive gold watch and chain, gold pin, and studs, were stolen from the dressing-room of the baron's son, Mr James Park. Suspicion attached to the butler, R. H. Hepton, and he was brought before the magistrates, but for want of evidence was discharged. He left the neighbqprhood, and got a situation in the south ; and a strict watch was kept over the premises for upwards of a month, but no clue was obtained to the perpetration of the robbery, or the discovery of the stolen property. On Wed nesday last, 15 months after the robbery, as two of Mr Park's workmen were engaged in cutting a stack of hay, they found the pocket-book containing the whole of the missing property, about three feet from the outside cf the stack. They took it to Mr Park, and will no doubt receive the £2O reward that was offered at the time of the robbery. BARNET FAIR, MONDAY.—This fair opened yes• terday, and although comparatively small to the great Sep tember cattle mart, yet there was a useful lot of stock sold freely to metropolitan milkmen, and young steers and heifers met a fair demand at equivalent value, and fat cattle sold at from £l4 to £lB The horse show comprised a miscellaneous _ ... collection of horses, sound animals for light harness, and for heavy draught purposes, selling at 15 to 25 guineas. Riding cobs and harness ponies wore in fair request. This fair lasts but one day.

Ady, rector of Little B•id dow, Essex, has been appointed by the Bishop of Rochester Archdeacon of Colchester, in suacesion to the late Rev. Dr. Burney. The Rev. J. Rathbone Cowdroy, NI.A., has been appointed to the evening lectureship of All Sainlii" - Chifich, Caledonian-road. ORCHIDS have become so popular that we are not at all surprised it should answer the purpose of the editor of a popular garden almanac to use them as the piece de resistance in the entertainment provided for his readers. Mr Shirley Hibberd, F.R.H.S., has made his " Garden Oracle" for 1865 attractive by presenting a list of stove and greenhouse orchids, arranged to exhibit certain kinds : ; in bloom every day throughout the year. This is accompanied with hints to beginners in orchid culture, and the volume contains besides the usual practical information on all de partments of practical gardening. FEVER IN LIVERPOOL. -GOVERNMENT INQUIRY. —The Medical Department of the Privy Council have noti• fled to the Mayor of Liverpool that, in consequence of the prevalence of fever in the town, they have determined to send.down Dr. Buchanan to inquire into the present sani tary conditon of the town, more particularly with reference to the recent spread of fever. As this determination on the part of the Privy Council may create unnecessary alarm, it may be as well to state that Dr. Trench, the local medical officer of health, last week reported to the Health Commit tee of the corporation that the death rate of Liverpool was only five above the average of the last ten years, whilst that of the metropolis was 316 above the average. DIFFICULT DIPLOMACY.—Diplomacy in Morocco, besides the difficulties incidental to the discharge of its high function cf composing international difficulties, and maintaining a good understanding with the Sultan's Go vernment, has physical obstacles to encounter unknown to the diplomatic service in Europe. The European represen tatives near the person of the Sultan, if they have occasion to quit their comfortable residences at Tangier in order really to approach near the person of the Sheriffian Majesty to whom they aro accredited have, especially in the winter season, their choice between a land journey over a rough and roadless country, with the chance of being washed away by rivers ewol'en by ceaseless rains, or else remaining in wet canvas on their banks till the wrters subside and allow of a passage, and the hardly less dangerous alternative of a sea voyage and landing on a coast exposed to the heavy swell of the Atlantic. We noticed the other day that the British minis ter, after paying his visit to the Sultan at Rabat, incurred some risk of being swamped on the bar of the raver upon his embarkation in her Majesty's steamer Redpole. A private letter from Rabat informs us that the representa. tivo of France fared no better. Sir John Drummond Hay had paid his official visit, and was in danger on embarking of being upset in the surf, and rolled back upon the African share. M. d'Aquin, the French minister, incurred the exactly opposite peril, that of being swept out to sea. He had left the French cervctte Talisman, embarking with his suite in the surf boat sent out from Rabat. The day was calm, no difficulty in landing could possibly have been foreseen, and the corvette steamed away as soon as she had fired her salute of 17 guns in honour of the departing mi nister, and had seen him on his way to the shore. .Bat when the boat approached the mouth of the river, it was found with dismay that the stream, swollen by heavy rains, was flowing with so rapid a current into tho ocean that the rowers could not make head against it, and after struggling for four hours, and being joined by another boat from the shore, which was unable to help them, the ex hausted crew gave up the contest, and were swept out to sea. By great good fortune they were able to find a land ing place on the coast, and in the end reached Rabat in safety by land.—Gibraltar Chronicle, Nov. 14: THE STATIONARY OFFICE.—It is generally rumoured, and believed to be correct, that the situation in her Majesty's Stationary Office, London, vacant by the death of Mr J. R. M'Culloch. has been given to Mr Russel, editor of the ,F,cotsnian.—Caledonian Mercury. PAIRING OFF IN BATTLES—In the course of Gen. Grant's attack on :Lee's position on the 27th ult., some of the men got utterly lost in the woods. A squad of our men, who became separated from the main command, ran against a similar body of the enemy. Neither party knew where they were, and a mutual agreement was entered into on the spot that they would keep together, and whichever among them might happen to strike the opposite side would sur render. The two parties ultimately ran into our lines, and we received 23 prisoners as the result.---Neto lrork Time?. There were no bullion operations of importance b t the Bink yesterday.

The at eady development of the resources of Canada, especially with reference to her mineral products, and the prospect of a closer union with the Maritime Pro vinces are circumstances full of promise for the future, and subjects for congratulation to all who are interested in the welfare of British North America.

Appearances have of late warranted the belief that the periodical settlings at Tattersall's have been what is termed "good." It has transpired, however, that frequently on settling days only a portion of certain accounts were got through, the remainder being loft dependent on promises. This afternoon revealed a state of things very unsatisfac tory indeed, and although no individual instance of "knocking out" was even hinted at, there were frequent complaints of tardiness on the part of those who had to " part." During certain intervals speculation on the Derby was carried on as circumstances would permit. The long existing desire to invest on The Duke at last found a vent, and after 100 to 7 had been backed to money 13 to 1 was eagerly accepted, but the Marquis of Hastings's colt left off finally at 12 to 1, taken. It was a near thing with The Duke and Breadalbane, but an offer to lay 1,000 even on The Duke against Mr I'Anson's "dark" one not being accepted removed all doubts as to which had the pre ference. At a later hour, however, an adherent of the Melton stable, for the consideration of a "fiver," accommo dated the backer of The Duke for an even thousand. The only other feature worthy of being noted was the retirement of Wild Charley, against whom 1,000 to 10 was offered without a response, one report being that he was a "crib biter," and another that he had "gone blind.'!
