Samuel Leman was placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with obstructing the footway in Princes-street, Bank. Police-constable 433 said the prisoner was standing with nis basket of walnuts on the pavement in Princes-street, and, as h 9 refused to go away when directed, he took him to the station-house. Defendant—Yes, and spilt all my walnuts. I wasn't obstructing the pavement. I'd just put my basket down on the kerb to rest when this gentleman comes up and takes me into custody. The Lord Mayor—Whit have you to say to the charge ? Defendant—What am I to do, sell walnuts or steal? 1 try to get an honest living, and should do so if it was not for the police. They drive us about Ike dogs. The Lord Mayor—But you have no right t 3 cause an obstruction ac that particular place. _ _ Another constable informed his lordship that the boys in Princes street did something more than sell their walnuts. Many of them were regular thieves, and gave the office to their companions, who were engaged in picking pockets, that the officers were watching them. Defendant—Have I ever done so ? I know I've been a bad boy, but you know it's never too late to mend, and I'm trying to get on honestly; but—(laughter)—one can't do that if the police is to drive us about. The Lord Mayor--I shall only inflict s small fine of 35., but if you come here spin I'll not let you off so easy. SCINDE RAILWAY COMPANY. HALF-YE XRLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The 15th half-yearly meeting cf this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; W. P. Andrew, Esq,, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The report stated that there had been a gradual increase and development of the traffic in every description of goods for the past half-year, fully bearing out former anticipa tions. The average gross receipts of the half-year ending June 30 last amounted to £2,016 per week, being an average weekly increase 0fX640, 0r.C16,683 for the half-year preccd in g. The revenue account for the half year ending Dec. 31, 1862, has been submitted to Government, from which it will appear that, after deducting working expenses and maintenance, the receipts yielded a net return of £7,141 ss. 10d. The receipts per mile were about £360 Os. 3d., and the expenditure £292, leaving a sum of £6B 03. 3d. per mile to be carried to the credit of the net revenue account, in part liquidation of the interest advanced by Government. Major Malcolm, in his report to Government in March last, stated that " mar ing allowance for the steady increase of traffic which may be reasonably expected to continue, there are fair grounds for hoping that within two years of the present time the Scinde Railway may return 5 per cent. plus an annually increasing contribution towards the re payment of the guaranteed interest allowed up to that date by the State to the shareholders." Prior to 1862, a bale of cotton in transit was rarely seen upon the Indus. But a considerable supply of this article is being received from the Punjaub. The value of the cotton exported for the past' year was Rs. 1,43,93,483, or about £1,319,402 12s. 2d. Indian Branch Railway Company. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The second ordinary meeting of the directors and share holders in this undertaking was held to-day at the London Tavern. The report, which was adopted, stated that the opening of the Nulhatee line had been delayed, from the roadway which the Government undertook to deliver to the company not having been originally provided with suffi cient openings to carry off the flood waters of the district; the Government undertook to supply the additional waterway required, but the non-completion of and of the principal bridges had up to Aug. 1 prevented the closing in of the line, The chief engineer, however, expected to get a train through at a very early day, and then a telegram would be sent to the board. This announcement is daily expected. Arrangements had been made with the Government for extending the Nulhatee line 81 miles to Bogwan gola, a port on the Ganges, and the road which the Government had to make and deliver to the company was reported in May last as in a forward state. All (or nearly all) the materials of the permanent way, locomotives, &c., for the extension had been shipped for Calcutta : there was, therefore, every prospect that the whole of this branch line might be opened for permanent traffic by the middle of next year. The negotiations with the Government of India for the concession of the whole system of railway lines in Oudh and Rohilkund were pro gressing. satisfactorily. The Withdrawal of the Confederate Commissioner, The I4dex, the London organ of the Confederates, publishes the following as the text of the letter in which Mr. Mason announces the termination of the Confederate mission to England : " 24, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square, Sept. 21. " The Right Hon. Earl Russell, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. "My Lord—ln a despatch from the Secretary of State of the Confederate States of America, dated 4th day of August last, and now just received, I am instructed to consider the commission which brought me to England as at end, and I am directed to withdraw at once from this country. " The reasons for terminating this mission aro set forth in an extract from the despatch, which I have the honour to communicate herewith. " The President believes that the Government of her Majesty has determined to decline the over tures made through you for establishing, by treaty, friendly relations between the two Governments, and entertains no intention of receiving you as the accredited Minister of this Government near the British Court. Under these circumstances, your con tinued residence in London is neither conducive to the interests nor consistent with the dignity of this Government; and the President therefore requests that you consider your mission at an end, and that you withdraw with your secretary from London.' "Having made known to your lordship on my arrival here the character and purposes of the mis sion entrusted to me by my Government, I have deemed it due to courtesy thus to make known to the Government of her Majesty its termination, and that I shall, as directed, at once withdraw from England.—l have the honour to be yours, &c., (Signed) " J. M. MASON." The same journal makes the following comments on the foregoing document : " We are permitted by Mr. Mason to publish his letter to Earl Russell, announcing his recall as special commis sioner from the Confederate States of America to England, and the termination of his mission. It will be seen by the extract given in the letter of recall that it is placed by the Confederate President on the ground of the persistent re fusal of England to enter into the relations of amity usual between foreign Powers—a condition of things which, in the opinion of the President, would make the continuance of the mission neither conducive to the interests nor con sistent with the dignity of the Government of which he is at the head.' Mr. Slidell, we understand, will remain in France as special commissioner to that Government, nor is it at all contemplated to terminate that mission ; and yet France, equally with England, has so far refrained from entering into international relations with the Con federate States. All England will admit that the Govern ment of those States is in the hands of able, experienced. and judicious statesmen ; and we are sufficiently conversant with Southern circles and Southern men to know that, with other marked differences between the sections North and South in America, there exists this—that in the South the general feeling to England has been one of good-will and respect. There must be, then, some over-ruling cause for the difference thus made between France and England in the termination of the mission to the one, and not to the oLber. To those at all conversant with what is passing in the Southern States this is no mystery. Mr. Slidell has been received, and has been uniformly treated by the Government of France, with every mark of con sideration and respect for the Government he repre sents. There may be grave reasons regarding policy or public law why France, like England, may not deem it in cumbent as yet to recognise those States as an independent political power; but their representative has been freely admitted to every form of intercourse with the Government of France, to personal interviews with the Emperor when ever he asked for them, with immediate access to all or any of the Ministry at first request. This would seem, indeed, but an ordinary courtesy to a gentleman in his position—the refusal of it would be more than a discourtesy, it would be an actual indignity to those whose representative ho is. In England Mr. Mason has been held by the Government in the very opposite position. His correspondence with the Foreign Office, laid before Congress at Richmond, we know from the Southern press, produced a feeling of deep and universal indignation. It showed that, with the exception of a single and formal interview with Earl Russell ma his first arrival, appointed at his residence, and not at the Foreign Office, he had been admitted to no inter course whatever with any member of the Government; whilst a second interview with Earl Russell, asked for some months after the first, was by that Minister curtly refused. It showed further that, to all outward or other manifestation , the presence of a Confederate commissioner in London was no further recognised than by brief replies to such COMM' nicatians as he was from time to time instructed to make to the Minister of this Government. Whilst we sincerely regret, therefore, the necessity which has imposed on President Davis the duty of terminating the Confederate commission to England, we are bound to admit that his forbearance has been tested to the utmost. Earl Russell has now succeeded in establishing absolute non-intercourse with the Confederate States—those States whore our commerce has found sources of incalculable wealth and profitable employment for countless millions of our capital, with like profitable employment for hundreds of thousands of the people of England. We say absolute n on _ intercourse, because we know through the press that of the three British consuls who remained in the Southern States exercising their functions by permission of the Government there, Mr. Bunch at Charleston, and Mr. M'Geo at Mobile, were recalled by this Government; and Mr. Moore at Richmond was dismissed by the Confederate Government for contumacy. It remains to be seen hereafter what ad vantages France may derive from a course of policy more consistent with her own self-respect and with national de- corum." METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. The Government inspector yesterday approved of the works of the junction lines with the Great Northern Railway at Kin g's•cross, and through trains will run between Farringdon-street station and that line on and after the Ist October next. .

NEW HOMAGE TO THE GENIUS OF COItNEILLE.— An open space, to be called Place Corneille, is about to be made in Paris by tailing down several houses in the narrow street called Argenteuil, near the Louvre. About twenty years since there was discovered, in the Rue Argen teuil, the house in which Corneille died. An inscription was placed in the court-yard, engraved on a black marble tablet, stating that Pierre Corneille died there the Ist of October, 1684. THE CHEER AFTER " THE ALMA"—From the recol lection of an officer engaged at it.—On the farthest heights, about a mile and a half from the Alma, the Bri tish troops ceased their pun.uit ; and then arose such a cheer I --a cheer from 2( 1 ,000 victorious men l—even some of the poor wounded fellows joined in it. I shall never forget that cheer as long as I live—it was, indeed, thrilling. I almost pitied the fallen enemy —it must have been so gal ling to them ; as I heard a man of the Guards say to a com rade, " I say, Bill, pleasant for them poor devils (pointing to some wounded Russians) hearing our chaps cheer so." The men were tired, and many almost exhausted for want of water. Lord Raglan rode up and down the line of troops, the men cheering him vociferously. There was such a shaking of hands. One felt very choky about the throat, and very much inclined to cry, as one wrung the hand of a friend, and " God bless you, old fellow I --so glad to see you all right I" and like expressions, were heard on every side between brother officers. It was a touching sight to see the meeting between Lord Raglan and Sir Colin Camp bell—the late Lord Clyde. The latter was on foot, as his horse had been killed in the earlier part of the action. He went up to his lordship, and, with tears in his eyes, shook hands, saying it was not the first battle field they had won together, and that now he had a favour to ask, namely, that as his Highlanders had done so well, he might be allowed to claim the privilege of wearing a Scottish bonnet. To this Lord Raglan, of course, gave a smiling assent ; and, after a few more words of friendship on both sides, they parted to their several duties. ELEGANT ENGLISH: being a specimen extract from Davis's diary, descriptive of M'Kinlay's Aus tralian Expedition :—June 21, 1862, between Stuart's Creek and the River Burdekin, in North-east Australia. Here we go I three more horses left behind. Go it, ye cripples ! So that we don't have to walk it won't signify; bu if we go on as we are doing now, burning the candles at both ends—i.e., eating the camels and horses, and lea'v ing them behind—and with nothing else to depend on for grub, we shall soon be in serious difficulty. It won't do to he wrecked in sight of home; so, lads, cheer up, and keep your peckers ditto; that's the way to pull through a diffi culty; and when we are on the last horse, it will be time enough then to think of going to David Jones, Esq., and he will have a nice lot if he gets us. One of the camels seems very CD, he had to be thrashed to get him on. THE FRENCH ARMY, now 412,000 strong, is thus distributed :—ln Mexico, two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry, about 34,000 ; in Cochin China, 1,600 (the above being on the war footing); in Rome, about 20,000. The army of Paris consists of three divisions of infantry and ons of cavalry; of Lyons, two divisions of in fantry and one of cavalry ; and four regiments of cavalry are at Luneville. These armies are estimated at 40,000 men. The Imperial Guard, together with the Turcos and the Spahis, 30,000 men. The remainder of the French army is distributed in six great corps, five in France and one in Algeria. THE MANILLA CHEROOT MANUFACTURE-De scribed by Madame Anna d'A. in her new work, " A Lady's Visit to Manilla and Japan.'—The building is very extensive, covering 6 acres, in. a quarter of the town called Binondo, and was erected about the year 1782. They employ in this establishment 10,000 women, and 300 men, the wages of each being 30 cents. per day. As they have no machinery, all is done by manual labour ; and to us, so used to the former in Europe, the latter process seemed slow. Tho building contains four galleries, each being divided into two or three compartments. You walk down the middle of these galleries, where at long low tables on each side, the women work, seated upon mats placed on the ground. The nose is very deafening, for oach female is provided with a stone, about the side of a large lemon. with which sbe beats the leaves continually, reminding one of cooks beating beef-steaks. When the " coat" is thus pre pares], they put a quantity of small chopped up tobacco in the centre, a little gum on one edge, and.tben 101 l it very adroitly till it assumes the desired form, after which the small end is neatly tapered off. TREASURE TRovE.—One hundred and two gold coins of the 15th century have just been found in pulling down an old house at Saint-Pol-de-L6on (Fini stere). These pieces were struck, some at Nantes and some at Rennes, and all bear the effigy of Francis, Duke of Brittany, in armour, on horseback, with the inscription, Franciscus Dei qratia Britanum dux; on the reverse is a cross on an ermine field, with the words, Deus, in adiute. rium menus intends. Each coin is of the size of a two franc piece. All are in a good state of preservation. DIPLOMATIC EmissAniEs,--According to the Czas, Mr. Lawrence Oliphant, the well-known author and British diplomatist, and the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, private secretary to Lord Palmerston, have arrived at Cracow. The Southampton papers record the death of Lieutenant Haat, R.N., for many years the commodore of the Royal West India Dias Cor.opauy's fleet, GUILD HALL. A young man named Wilson was brought before Mr. Alderman Besley, charged with uttering counterfeit coin. Mrs. Stevens, the widow of a licensed victualler, carry ing on business in Bartholomew-close, said the prisoner came into her house yesterday, and, baying asked for half a pint of beer, put down the bad half-crown. Detective Smith, of the City police, said he happened accidentally to be taking a glass of stout when the prisoner tendered the money. He questioned him as to how he be came possessed of the money, and not receiving any satis factory answer took him into custody. As he was proceeding with him to the station-house he passed throgh Little Bri tain, where another publican, who was standing at his door, said he had taken some counterfeit half-crowns the day be fore, which, on comparing, were found to be from the same mould as that from which the one tendered at Mrs. Stevens's had been made. The prisoner said he had received the coin amongst the money he had had for wages where he was employed. Smith said the prisoner gave the address in the New North-road, but he neither knew the name of the person who kept the house or the number. Remanded for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY.—AIfred Morris, 8, Upper Rupert-street, Jchn M'Mahon, 5, South•row, and William Byrne, 6, Carnaby-street, all tailors, and M'Mahon and Byrne having been previously convicted, were charged before Mr. Knox with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. Swallow, licensed victualler, 22, Berwick si reef, Soho, on the 21st of September, and stealing several articles and money to the amount of £lO. There was a second charge against M'Mahon of being concerned with another not in custody in steailng at 56, Wardour-street, several articles of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. Samuel, licensed victualler. Only sufficient evidence was given to justify a remand, but it appears that entrance to Mr. Swallow's house, the Blue Posts, Berwick-street, was gained by means of a low wall, and the property carried off. Remanded. WESTMINSTER. DISTRESSING POSITION OF A HUSBAND AND FATHER. —A man, of gentlemanly appearance and address, who appeared overwhelmed with grief, addressing the magis trate, said that he had to solicit his advice under circum stances of a most painful description. He regretted to say that his wife was utterly given over to drink, and that his two young children wore not only grossly neglected, but were endangered by her c , mmon and repeated intoxication. This unhappy state of things had been going on for three years, and threatened inevitable beggary, as she took out everything that could be disposed of to indulge her un happy propensity, and applicant was most anxious to have the magistrate's advice as to the course he had better pursue. Mr. Arnold—lt is really very distressing, but I have no power to help you. _ Applicant—l really cannot live with her any longer ;if I do, we must all soon become chargeable to the parish. Cannot you make an order for her admission into the work house ? I would there maintain her. Mr. Arnold—l cannot. I have no jurisdiction in the matter. Applicant—Will you kindly favour me with your advice ? Mr. Arnold—As a magistrate I cannot, but, as a man of the world, I should recommend you to separate from her, and to allow her a separate maintenance. Applicant—She is not in a state of mind to make any at rangement. Mr. Arnold—lt is a sad case, but I fear not an un common one. Applicant—Pardon me if I inquire upon another head. The consequence of her continual drunkenness is that her conduct is perfectly childish ; she does not know what she is about. Mr. Arnold—lf you can obtain the certificate of a medical man that she is insane, she may be placed in an asylum, and there taken care of. Applicant—A medical man has seen her, but will not give the necessary certificate. He says that she is bordering on insanity. Mr. Arnold—Then he declines to give a certificate? Applicant—He does. May I yet aek you another ques tion ? Mr. Arnold—Assuredly. Applicant—Has the father power to take away the chil dren from the mother ? Mr. Arnold—What are the ages of the children ? Applicant—Thirteen months and three years. Mr. Arnold—The mother hi entitled to the custody of the children up to the age of seven years, unless it can be shown that she is morally unfit to have charge of them, but that is not a matter within my jurisdiction. THAMES. CRUELTY EY A CHARITY SCHOOLMASTER.—A tall and powerful man named Cieorge Wilson, master of the well known Charity School of St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, on Tower-hill, adjoining the Royal Mint, and distinguished as the "First Protestant Charity School," appeared before Mr. Partridge, on a summons, to answer a charge of as saulting John Edward Jones, one of his pupils. The summons was taken out at the instance of the mother of the boy. She is a poor and industrious widow of good character, and when she applied for the summons, appeared in great distress of mind. Her son, a delicate boy, only 9 years of age, had been most cruelly flogged, as was indicated by the state of his person. His back and posteriors were covered with bruises and discoloured, from the inflic tion of the dominie. It appeared from the evidence that the boy had been severely flogged with a cane and a strap on several occasions, and he had seen other boys punished very badly by the schoolmaster. The complainant, notwithstanding his tender years, had been chastised forty times. His hands were mercilessly cut with a cane in June last, and the mother then complained to Wilson of his brutal treatment. The boy's hand was cut with a cane a fortnight ago. The last cruel infliction was eu Monday afternoon last, after school hours. The defendant pulled down the blinds of a room, in which he punished the boy, put a handkerchief over his eyes, made him pull down his trousers, and then flogged him over his naked body with a leather strap. The boy counted as many as thirty blows. The defendant said he did not in flict more than twenty nor less than fifteen, and produced the leather strap with which he inflicted the punishment. It was by no means a heavy or formidable weapon, but, in the hands of a giant like the defendant, es - gable of injuring a child of tender years with a soft skin like the complainant. Mrs. Jones, the mother of the boy, said he had come home frequently with his hands cut and his person bruised, and she complained that it was not proper or humane to punish a child so brutally. The defendant made a lengthened exculpation, and denied having punished the boy with unnecessary severity. The inflictions were necessary for the discipline of the school, He punished the boy on Monday for telling a falsehood. He put in a letter, of which the following is a copy :-- " The Rev. Mr. Robertson, incumbent of St. Botolph, Aldgate, begs to state that John Edward Jones is a boy of bad disposition, that he has been reproved by the trustees of the school for insubordinate conduct, and that he has only been permitted to remain in the school on promise of amendment. Mr. Robertson begs to state further that he has reason to fear that the boy has been encouraged in his bad conduct by his mother, who appears to have given him injudicious advice, and that the trustees of the school have the greatest confidence in the master, Mr. Wilson, and believe that he would not inflict unnecessary or excessive punishment. 16, Devonshire-square, Sept. 24, 1863." Mr. Partridge said the statement in writing of the Rev. Mr. Robertson was no evidence whatever, and be could pay no attention to it. The defendant said the summons had been served upon him so recently that he had not had an opportunity of calling witnesses, and wished for an adjournment. Mr. Partridge would certainly give the defendant an op portunity of calling any witness he thought proper. The charge was a serious one. The defendant must recollect that he was charged with flogging the boy in private during "play hour," as it was called, and that the punishment was inflicted e% ith a leather strap on the naked person of the child, after he had been blindfolded. The defendant would also recollect what was the state of the child's body just exposed to view; and that the mother said when the boy came home on Monday there were red and blue stripes on his body, and that his hands were cut on a former occasion. The case was then aijourneLl, to_ give the defendant an opportunity of calling witnersee to character. MANHATTAN AT IT AGAIN. "PEGGING AWAY" AT THE ENGLISH MINISTRY. There is but one opinion of the acts of the Eng lish Ministry; there can be but one wherever God's sun shines upon people who can read the A B C and write—even in the colonies of England—and that is this: that the English Ministry had ono of two courses to pursue, a right one and a wrong one. A right noble one would have been, if they deemed it for the interest of England to acknowledge the South, to have done it in a noble open manner, and have let the consequences take care of themselves. If they had d )ne this they wculd have dismembered the United States for ever, and, at this moment, the Confederacy would have been independent, and a grateful friend to England. This was a right course for an English Ministry to pursue. The Ministry was too small potatoes and too few in a hill to do anything so greed and so noble. They wished to sneak into c:o'r,g gc2i to the South, and so they allowed English capital, E3glish sailors, English shipbuilders, English b:slr•Le....kers, and English everything else makers, to fit out ships in English ports as pirates to go on to the Atlantic Ocean, and there, under the rag adopted by our Southern brothers, to burn and de stroy millions of property belonging to merchants and shipowners, like oid-time pirates, without much re.7,,ar3 to w'iletber the property was American, Eiglsh, or Seise. Is there a reflecting man in E n gland, cr a tine-born English child between the as of three end twelve, who will say that that was tt 3 r!ght cheese? Or is there one who is proud of the achievements of such a glorious ministry ? Yet, as the man said to Noah, "D— your old boat ; I don't believe there is going to be much of a shower." So even now the organs of the English ministry, while territory after territory, each vaster in extent than all Europe, is weekly passing from rebel do minion, hopelessly and irrevocably, these organs declare that the South has just began to fight, and that the Confederacy was never so prosperous—and the stock goes up. "A SLASH' AT NAPOLEON-. The English ministry did wrong, and if they remain in power when the South caves in there can be nothing else than a long and bloody war with America. It is as inevitable as that the tides ebb and flow. God in mercy avert it. Of course if the English people want war with America, they will have it by keeping in the present ministers, who have made such a lovely mess of everything. But I suppose the million of pounds sterling that Napoleon is said to sp en d year l y i n L on d on to ke e p his viceroy Palmerston in power will have its effect, and that he will command his deputy to plunge England into the coming war that we are to have with France, use her as he did in the Crimean war, and as he does when he pleases, as the monkey did the generous cat, to pick the chestnuts out of the fire for his Majesty's own eating, while the unsus pecting cat burned her own paws. England, great and glorious as she has been, must to eternity com mand the respect of mankind, and of those who speak the English language all over the world, no matter what their nationality, when she leads in the affairs of the world and of the great nations on its outside surface. But how low she sinks when no great measure can be started by her ministers until a telegram has been sent to and received !rom Paris. I trust and I pray that whatever England may do in the coming contest, she will do it as mag nificently as of old, and not as second fiddle to the French Emperor. It is a reflection upon the mil ' lions of hogsheads of English blood in human sys tems on this continent and elsewhere, to suppose that England—old powerful England—is afraid to go to war without the backing of the legions of Paris No. 2. EDWIN JANES REDIVIVITs Edwin James is in deeper trouble for his slander of the English widow. It will be a rich trial when it comes on. Mr. James enjoys himself in the new country. He is not an early riser, but sits up late at nights to equalise it. It is asserted that he will soon lead to Vaz Hymeneal altar a beautiful girl, daug' - lter of an rs•governor of this state, with in her cwn right a million. When the marriage is over the parties will probably go abroad. YANKEE SQUEAMISHNESS ABOUT Bullock's BLOOD. We have an amusing war at the present time between the butchers or New York and the city inspector, Boole. He is opposed to the system of slaughter-houses, with blood running in the gutters of our best streets. It is a great nuisance, and is a source of sickness. It is to be hoped that Mr, Boole will be the conqueror. CLEVER APPLICATION OF A PROVERB. The retreat of General Bragg from Gen. Rose cranz has surprised many. It only proves the truth of the old English saying, " Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better one." WAR I WAR ! I WAR I I I WITH FRANCE. A war between France and the United States is inevitable; but may Heaven avert a war between England and this country. It must come with the present ministry. The ministers are so leagued in with France that war cannot be avoided, if Napoleon wishes; and it is folly to suppose that this country, when the rebellion ceases, will be powerless. The anxiety to wipe out the past disgraceful civil war will make our new war ferocious. If the rebellion is crushed, the Government will have to go into a foreign war. France is fair game. She only has given us cause of war'. We need Mexico now, and we will have it. It was a great blunder of Polk's a dministration that he did not keep Mexico when we had it, and Scott with his army was in Mexico city. It was prevented by the Southern statesmen, who opposed annexing it for the same reason that they always opposed annexing Canada, viz., it would have enlarged and strengthened the free states and free territory. [Not a word about the human blood now, (for two years) flooding—not the gutters of New York but the vast countryside of what was once the Union : not one word about this fearful pouring out of human blood, says Manhattan !] MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A moderate supply of English wheat was on sale here to day. Factors were somewhat firmer in their demand, but, owing to the considerable arrival of wheat and flour from foreign ports, buyers ope rated cautiously at Monday's de cline in the currency. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, in which sales pro gressed slowly at late rates. In floating cargoes of grain a limited business was trans acted, yet no change took place in the value either of wheat or spring corn. There was a somewhat increased supply of barley on offer, and the trade ruled heavy at barely stationary prices. The malt trade \VAS in a sluggish state at about previous rates. The supply of oats was tolerably large. All descriptions /net a slow sale at Monday's reduction in prices. Beans and peas were in slow request at late prices. Flour moved off slowly at previou. quotations. The supply of barrels was somewhat extensive. ARRIVALS THIS wiIEX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

THE VIRTUES OF BORAX.—The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as a washing-powder instead of soda, in the proportion of a large handful of borax-powder, to about 10 gallons of boil ing water; they save in soap nearly half. All the large washing establishments adopt the same mode. For laces, cambrics, & - e„ an extra quantity of the powder is used, and for crinolines (required to be made very stiff) a strong solu tion is necessary. Borax, being a n eutral salt, does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of the linen ; its effect is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it should be kept on every toilette table. To the taste it is rather sweet ; it is used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent dentifrice, and in hot countries is used, in combination with tartaric acid and bicarbonate of soda, as a cooling beNerage. Good tea cannot be made with hard water ; all water may be made soft by adding a teaspoonful of borax-powder to an ordinary-sized kettle of water, in which it should boil. The saving in the quantity of tea used will be at least one-fiftb. .~----
