MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In th 2 genera l di scount market to-day the opera tons are co n d uc t e d on rather an extensive scale, and ithe bankers and brokers still enforce full terms for all the business they negotiate. The directors of the Bank of England have held their usual weekly court, and as expected have refrained from im mediate action with r egar d t o th e m i n i mum quo tation, although the opinion pre` ails that the period is not far distant when a reduction to the extent of I - per cent. may be consistently adopted. A further sum of £64,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Ripon, which conveys the Calcutta and China mails on the 4th, will take out £105,690 in silver, and £7 491 in gold, besides medals and clasps, valued. at £lO,BOO. The Sasonia has brought £22,389 in specie. The biddinga for 40,00,000 rupees (.£400,000) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank °f England. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, 22,70,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 16,00,000 ru pees ; to Madras, 1,30,000 rupees. The de clared minimum price was as befor® Is. 1 lid. per rupee on Calcutta, and ls. Il',-,d. on Bombay and Madras. The applications within the limit amounted to 295 lass. Tenders on Calcutta at Is. 110. will receive about 41 per cent., on Bombay at ls. 1151. about 85 per cent. All above these prices, and all tenders on Madras, will receive in full. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : _ 1863. 1862. Great Western £64,185 £68,689 1\ orth-Western 106,277 105,427 South- Western Brighton I‘lidland South-Eastern Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 39,036 37,731 North Eastern (Berwick) Bristol and Exeter 11 Ianehester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 15,467 14.805 Edinburgh and Glasgow Grand Trunk of Canada Great Western of Canada .. These returns are generally of an unsatisfac tory character, compared with those of the same period of last year. On the Great Western there is a decrease of £3,504 ; on the South Western, of £3,010 ; on the Brighton, of £2,676 ; on the Mid land, of £1,426 ; on the South Eastern, of £2,845; while there is an increase of £1,305 on the Lanca shire and Yorkshire; £3,348 on the North Eastern; £662 on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln; £896 on the Edinburgh and Glasgow; £B3O oa the North-Western ; £338 on the Great Northern ; £2,592 on the Grand Trunk of Canada, and £221 on the Great Western of Canada, Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, iho French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f 60c—heavy. Business in the market for the English Funds remains in much the same condition as for some time past, speculatitA being dull, while the opera tions of the investing public are also too limited to create activity. Consols, nevertheless, continue firm at 93a 4 for money and the 9th inst., and 93i 94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes continue Steady at 921 ; the Reduced Annuities at 921. and Exchequer Bills at Is. dis. to 2s. prem. Trans actions are recorded in the Indian 5 per Cent. Loan at 1081 4 ; the 5 per Cent. Enlaced Paper at 1071-; the 51 ditto at 117 ; and in the Debentures at 100; There is a moderate business in the Foreign 'Market, and prices, in some instances, are rather higher. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 1; Ditto, 1862, 701- 4 ; Ditto, Consolides, have ad vanced to 521, 53; Portuguese to 491 501.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and prices have remained steady. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Western have declined 55., and Great Northern A Stock, 10s. So uth -Eastern have improved 55., and North British and North Stafford, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have remained without any material change as regards values, Dutch Rhenish being dealt in at 17k; Otto man at 11i; Grand Trunk of Canada at 204 ; while Great Indian Peninsula have declined to 1084. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show rather less firmness.

We have been'requested to publish the following communications from the Horse Guards and War Office in the case of Paymaster Salales:— Horse Guards, 28th July, 1863. Sir,—l am desired by the Field Marshal Com manding in Chief to inform you that the Judge- Advocate-General has represented to his Royal Highness that in consequence of further information having been obtained concerning the manner in which your trial by general court-martial had been conducted, the proceedings are in his opinion vitiated. His Royal Highness, therefore, felt himself called upon to recommend to the Queen, in accordance with the suggestion of the Judge•A.dvocate-General, that her Majesty would be pleased to extend to you her most gracious pardon, to take effect from the date thereof (the 21st inst.), but not to operate in any manner to reinstate you as paymaster of the 6th Dragoons, and her Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve of this recommendation, and to grant you her pardon accordingly. (Signed) g a n ie e s d ?Esq la te NV . F. F Paymaster,OltT ER. To Thomas sm 6th Dragoons. War Office, 26th August, 1863. Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 30th ultimo, in which you request, with reference to her Majesty's pardon which has been recentlygranted to you, that you may receive your pay as a paymaster, and that your name may be noted for immediate active em ployment, I am directed to acquaint you that the Secretary of State for War has been advised that the pardon which her Majesty has been pleased to grant you has left you in the position of a civilian. I am, therefore, to inform yo:i that you are not entitled to receive any pay; and further, it is not the intention of Earl De Grey and Ripon to submit your name to the Queen for appointment as a pay master. (Signed) EDWARD LUGARD, To Thomas Smales, Esq, T he Story of a Hero, Tdd by his Valet. Under this title there is a charming paper in Mr . Blanchard Jerrold's new book of miscellanies, called " A Book for the Beach." The Hero is one no less worthy of the name than the Emperor Napoleon the Great—the Valet, being Santini, one of the many faithful attendants upon the Greit Captain during the miserable years of his Exile at St. Helena. From Mr. Blanchard Jerrold's narrative of that Exile we take the following picturesque passages SPARKENHOE FARMERS' CLUB. NUNEATON, Wednesday. The annual meeting of the Sparkenhoe Farmers' Club took place this day in extensive grounds in the vicinity of Nuneaton. The show of stock commenced yesterday, and was one of the largest ever exhibited at the meetings of the club. The whole place assumed the aspect of a fair. There were trials of young hunters in galloping and fencing, poultry and flower shows, exhibition of implements, compe tition in horse-ploughing, hedge-cutting and draining, trials of steam ploughs, mowing and reaping machines, ancl a general exhibition of corn, roots, cheese, vegetables, and fruit. Prizes to the amount of £9OO were distributed, and during the two days occupied by the show the grounds were visited by many thousands of spectators. There were 400 entries in the live stock department ; 240 pens in the poultry exhibition ; and 350 entries in the corn, root, and vegetable class, The proceedings were enlivened by the bands of the Scots Greys and of the Nuneaton Rifle Volunteers, who during the day performed selections of operatic music. The annual dinner took place in a spacious pavilion, in which about 1,000 of the gentry and farmers of this and the adjoining aistricts dined together this afternoon. A. very large number of ladies attended the dinner. _ _ The chair was occupied by Mr. Newdegate, M.P., the lady patroness of the meeting being Lady Aylesford. Mr. Newdegate was supported by Lord Leigh (Lord Lieutenant), Lord Calthorpe, Mr. Caldecott (High sheriff of Warwick• shire), the Hon. Mr. Butler, the Rev. Mr. Quirk, the Hon. E. Talbot, Earl Howe, Sir J. H. Crewe, the Hon. C. G. Scott, Mr. Soden (Mayor of Coventry), Mr. Davenport, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, The toast of the "House of Lords" was proposed by Mr. CALDECOTT, and acknowledged by Lord CALTHORPE, who observed that he hoped that that house would never be un mindful of its origin and of the source from which it was recruited. The House of Lords was, as they wall knew, re cruited from the most intelligent portion of the middle classes of this country, and it was one of the greatest boasts of Englishmen that there was not a single person in the realm, however humble he might be, but who by the exer cise of those talents which God had given him might be come a poet of the realm. (Cheers.) The Hon. Mr. BUTLER then gave "The House of Com mons," observing that there was no class of men in the kingdom who did more to promote the welfare of the coun try than the British House of Commons. There were very tow among them who had not the pleasure of associating with their friend the member for North Warwickshire, and it was therefore with great pleasure that they saw him oc cupy the chair on the present occasion. No doubt there were some among them who thought that the privileges and ad vantages enjoyed by thellouse of Commons were very great, but he assured them that the greatest privilege they en joyed was that of representing the people of England fully and fairly in Parliament. (Cheers.) There were, in point of fact, no men harder worked than were members of Par liament during certain months of the year, especially if they did their duty honestly and faithfully to their con stituents. It might be said, as it had been, that very little was done last session in the House of Commons, but he re minded theta that on certain occasions silence was the best policy which could be pursued, and there never had been an occasion on which the silence of hon. members in Parliament had been of greater service than during the last session. A judicial silence oftentimes did more than long speeches, and it was so in this instance. Hen. members had had a difficult part to play in the excitement of the Session. They had to uphold the dignityof the nation, and at the same time to mainta n its neutrality in the present deplorable war. .He thought that great praise was due to them for the manner in which they had acted, and he be lieved that the Americans themselves in their cooler mo ments admitted that we had honestly maintained our neu trality. (Cheers.) Mr. HIBBERD, M.P., replied to the toast. Several other local toasts were given, and the proceedings terminated. A Policeman Severely Wounded in a Poaching Affray, On Tuesday, at the West Riding Court, Leeds, Thomas James Handley, alias Towneley, alias Teasdale, and John Thomas Hey, were charged with maliciously and unlaw fully wounding Isaac Waddington, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Waddington is a member of the West Riding Constabulary, and is stationed at Shadwell, near Leeds. On the 31st July he was on duty at Roundhay, the night being beautifully clear and the moon shining brightly. Near the parsonage house he saw two men stand ing on the footpath, and Handley was one of them. They passed him, and wished him " good night." This would be about 10 o'clock. The officer then saw a man coming down the field behind the parsonage, and carrying a dark coloured sack under his arm. Waddington identified him as the pri soner Hey, and ho said to him, " It's you, is it, what have you gat in that bundle ?" Hey replied, " What the —is that to thee ?" Waddington then seizad the bag, and there was a scuffle between them, in the course of which the offi cer tore the button off the bag and felt some nets in it. Whilst the officer and Hey were struggling, the other two men returned, Handley being armed with the barrel of a gun, and the other poacher with the stock. Handley aimed a blow at the policeman's head, but the latter gave way, and he was struck heavily on the shoulder. Hey then got away, and running to a dross heap he picked a great stone, and burled it violently at the officer, who was struck ever the month with the missile, and knocked down. Waddington's lip was cut quite through, five teeth were knocked out or broken, and the jawbone was fractured. The policeman was stunned by the blow, and remained a little time on the ground ; and as he was recovering, ho ob served the three men running accross a field in the direc tion of Coble Hall Lane. He managed to crawl to the toll house, about 150 yards off, and there assistance was ren dered him, and he was under medical assistance for nearly a month, and at one time his life was in danger.—Charles Preston, a blacksmith, residing at Mourton, near Leeds, met the prisoners at four o'clock the next morning, or about six hours after the affray. They were then near Moortown church, and Handley was Carrying a bag across his shoul ders which apparently contained game, and blood was run ning out of the bottom of it. " How far halt thou come ?" Preston replied " From Moortown." Hey rejoined " Hest thou seen ought of any policeman?" Preston answered in the negative. He then asked if they could direct them a way of getting into Leeds without passing through Chapeltown, and he gave them certain instructions with that object. There was a third man with the prisoner, and he was carry ing three sticks. The prisoners were apprehended by Super intendent Pollard and Sergeant Midgley, as they were entering a beerhouse in Kirkgate, on the 25th ult. After they had been taken before the magistrate for remand, Hey, addressing the prosecutor,Waddington, said, "It's thee we are taken for I I wish the atone had knocked thy brains out. If ever thou meets me again in that way, thou'l meet nobody else." Superintendent Pollard, in searching Hey's house, subsequently found 64 snares and wires, 49 purse nets, four gate nets, three long nets and iron pegs, 53 wooden pegs, a gun, which could be taken in pieces, and sporting appendages, 9 living wild rabbits, and 3 dead ones. Three long nets were wet, as if they had been recently used, and were hung up on the clothes line.—The prisoners were committed for trial at the next West Riding sessions. BALLOON ASCENT.—NAEEOW ESCAPE.—The balloon ascent on Monday, by Mr. Glaisher, Mr. Coxwell, the representative of the Newcastle Chronicle, and others, was highly successful, though the descent was at tended with considerable danger, as the following report for the paper just named will show : —Mr. Coxwell, looking out for a favourable position for the descent, thought at first to pass a range of hills right ahead of u 9; but, finding a favourable field nearer at hand, he lowered us quickly, and warned us how to avoid injury by bumps. In accordance with his directions we cowered down in the car, and hold ing fast the ropes on each side, were ready for the bumps when they should come ; and come they did. In avoiding the wires on the North-Eastern Railway we got out of the pan into the fire, as the phrase goes, and caught the telegraph wires on a waggon-way that had been quite unobserved. The Mammoth, impatient of restraint, swayed his immense bulk to and fro, and dragged most mon strously against the resistance of the grapnel on the wires. " Bravo wires!" said one, and bump went we on the ground, Up for an instant, and then down again with a bump bigger than ever, and most vilely stunning in its effects. The huge balloon flapped and tore in front of us, and suddenly carried us right off from our hold. Looking over the edge of the car, it was seen that she had torn up two of the tele graph posts, and brought them over the hedge into the field of shorn and sheaved corn. Worse than this, an ex clamation from Mr. Smith told us that the rope had broken, and that the grapnel was left hanging to the wire. Mr. Smith shouted to the peasantry, who, like the Britons of old, when alarmed at the appearance of Caesar, had congre gated on the adjacent heights, and requested them to come to our assistance and seize the rope. They came down fast enough, but not understanding what was required of them, and being perchance apprehensive of being carried off into the heavens, did not seize hold of either car or rope. Mr. Coxwell, with a degree of promptitude and energy which proved him to be equal to any danger,applied himself to the valve rope, and pulled with might and main. Neverthe less, the ballaon had still power to drag the car and us along the field of corn, first by slight and occasional elevations, then by regular dragging. the car lying on its side, and the monster balloon tearing a long at an uncom fortable rate. Mr. Smith, taking the string, relieved Mr. Coxwell, and, obeying his rapid orders, pulled with all his strength, Yet on we went, the car creaking and strain ing heavily, while we, crouched in it, were bumped and knocked, and thumped. and OIICb or twice fairly covered in with sheaves. A thick and high thorn fence was right in front of us, and it seemed likely that we should be into it. Mr, Coxwell knew better, and through his generalship, and the activity and strength of Mr. Smith, aided also by our friends of the country, who had at length seized hold of the car, we pulled up just at that point where a clever hun ter would have risen at the fence. The balloon, indeed, was quite over the hedge, the car still on the right side. wh en the peop l e , seizing the net - work , helped to hold her back, and so saved us from a scratching. Inquiries as to our whereabouts elicited the intelligence that we were near the village of Pittington, and that we bad (mut: to earth on the farm of Mr, Newby. Escape and Suicide of a Patient from Armstrong's Lunatic Asylum, Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at Mr. Aylett's, the Crown Tavern, Church -street, Lambeth, on the body of Sarah Jones, aged 28, late an inmate of Dr. Armstrong's lunatic asylum at Peckham. Police -constable 184, of the L division, said that on Monday morning last his attention was called by a gentleman to something lying near Waterloo bridge, on the bed of the river. He went down, and found that it was the deceased. He gave in formation to Mr. Adamson, and the body was taken to Lambeth dead-house. Ann Hail2s said ttp.lt she had laid out the body. She found a math on the back of the head, and another on the left elbow, as it they were caused by a heavy tall. In her pocket were two handkerchiefs and a halfpenny. Eliza Shallop said that she was a widow, had known the deceased for about sevea months 7b (l 3 , Armstrong's lunatic of being employed at M r . lunatic asylum at Peckham. Witness Was lunatic naaite tendant in the asylum. The deceased' was a patient. She last saw her alive at three o'clock t on Sunday afternoon last, at which time she was under the charge of Mary Ann Osborn, another at tendant, and also herself and Emma Marshall. Sh e last saw her whilst they were walking out, and after passing Camberwell-green they turned, for the purpose of going up Denmark-hill, when, at the corner of Church-street, she was missed by Osborne, who ran back towards Camberwell Church. Wit ness did not see her again alive. Nary Ann Osborne said that she was an attend ant at Dr. Armstrong's. On Sunday afternoon the deceased and other patients left the establishment for a walk: There were 33 patients and three at tendants. On arriving at the corner of Church street, by the Green, she missed the deceased. She left the other patients, and ran after her, but could not find her, and she gave a description of her to a policeman. She was not suicidically inclined, and was a very quiet girl, and most amiable in her manners. She had of late got much better in her mind. She was entrusted with knives, and no fear was apprehended that she contemplated suicide. The delusionsshe laboured under were aboutreligion. Elizabeth Jones said that she was a widow. - The deceased was born 7 weeks after the death of her father. Witness resided at 7, Gloucester-street, Lambeth. She had been at Dr. Armstrong's esta blishment for 7 months as a pauper patient. She never knew her to threaten to destroy her life. She used to wander in ber mind. She could not tell how she got into the water. The learned Coroner summed up ; and The jury returned a verdict that deceased de stroyed her life when of unsound mind. The Coroner recommended the attendants to nse all proper vigilance in future, so that a similar case might not occur again. BONY-STREET. STEALING FROM THE READING Room OF THE BE,ITISH MUSEUM.—John Jones, a respectably dressed man, about 48 years of age, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a number of leaden paper weights from the reading room, the property of the Trustees of the British Museum. James Scott, one of the inspectors of police on duty at the British Museum, said on the 29th of August last the prisoner was stopped as he was leaving the building and asked if he had any property on his person belonging to the trustees. He said "Itis no use denying it. I did take it," and at the same time ho drew the paper weights from his pccket. Mr. Henry—Have you made any inquiries relative to the prisoner ? Inspector Scott—l have, your worship. He is a literary man, and I believe receives pupils at his residence two cr three days a week. Prisoner—l only yielded to the pressure of extreme poverty. Mr. Henry—lt is of the greatest importance that an in stitution like the British Museum should be most strictly protected. You are not like an ignorant person. You must know that you were abusing the privilege which was accorded you. Mr. Harding (the solicitor to the Museum)—l leave the case entirely in your Worship's hands, feeling perfectly certain that while you deal mercifully with the prisoner, you will do all in your power to protect such an institvtion as the Museum. Mr, Henry—Have you any witnesses who saw the rob bery committed ; becau3o it is very important it should be widely known that no person can visit the reading-room without some one of the attendants watching his move ments ? Mr. Harding—Yes. We had no less than five persons watching the visitors to the room that dry. Mr. Henry—Let me hear the evidence of one of them. Hugh Castor, an attendant in the library department of the British Museum, said—Last Saturday, in consequence of the loss of r number of paper weights, four persons be sides myself were placed to watch the visitors to the read ing -room. None of the watchers could be seen. About 12 o'clock on the day in question he saw the prisoner enter the reading-room, and as he passed some of the tables ho laid his hand on the paper weights. He finally took his seat at M table, and then having taken out a book he placed the weight on it to keep it open. lie eventually took the weight up, and having placed it in his coat pocket he left the apartment. Notice was instantly given to the police, and he was taken into custody, Mr. Henry—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—The only answer I can make is that I was in duced to take the article u -der extreme pressure of desti tution. Mr. Henry—You, as a man of education, must know that you have abused the privilege that was granted you. I feel, however, notwithstanding the recommendation to mercy, that I cannot sentence you to a less punishment than three months' imprisonment. ROBBERY BY A SERVINT.—Watson Harvey, carman, was placed at the bar charged with robbing his employer. Mr. Tucker said he was a house decorator, and carried on business in Holborn. The prisoner was in his employ as carman, and this morning he was told to take the cast to some works that were in progress at Clapham, and bring home whatever the foreman gave to him. He received ten large pieces of lead, but he only, on his return, accounted for nine, but the tenth, or missing piece, was discovered secreted in the cart. _ Police-constable 57 F said the prisoner was given into his custody this morning in Chandes- street. When he was charged with stealing the lead, he denied it, but said he got it from a house in the Strand, and that it was his own. He afterwards said he got it from a man at Clapham, who had given it to him. In answer to the charge the prisoner said it was true he was sent this morning to Clapham by his master, and when he got to the place where he was directed, a man proceeded to load his cart with lead. After he had brought down 9 large pieces, he threw in the 10th, and as it was a little bit he (prisoner) asked if he could have it, as he was hard up. The man told him he might sell it if he liked. The lead in question weighed upwards of 50 or 601 b. On being searched the sum of £1 12s. was found on him. Mr. Henry thought that rather a large sum to be found upon the prisoner, and remanded him for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT..--TH E LOVE OF FINERY.—Fanny Woodley, a young woman, servant to Mrs. Rebecca Webb, cheesernonger, of 109, Tottenham court-road, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing money to the amount of £7O from her mistress. Miss Webb, daughter of Mrs. Webb, said the prisoner had been in her mother's service about six months, and in consequence of a suspicion she (Miss Webb) entertained on Tuesday last she marked about £4O in sovereigns and half sovereigns, and placed them in a cash-box in a drawer of the sitting-room, and locked the drawer. Yesterday, about one o'clock she gave the prisoner the keys to go to the room to get some sugar. Shortly after the prisoner came down, leaving the keys behind her, and on going upstairs she (Miss Webb) found the keys hanging from the lock of the sideboard, and in some time after counting the money in the cash-box, 10s. was missing. Becoming a little alarmed she sent for a neighbour, told her of the robbery, and a constable was then sent for and the prisoner taken to the station. Mrs. Caroline Rayner, of 108, Tottenham-court -road, said the prisoner refused to be searched, but on putting her hand into the prisoner's pocket £6 10s, was found wrapped in paper. Miss Webb identified the money as some she had marked. William Young, 62 C, said he took the prisoner to the station, and after she had been cautioned by the inspector she said she had taken the money from the cash-box. He afterwards searched the prisoner's boxes, and found £53105. in geld, Is. in silver, and some coppers, a gold chain and locket, a gold pencil case, a coral necklace, and about £2O worth of new dresses (one of them silk). Inspector Hubbard said there were also five pairs of new boots and several now dress pieces. Mr. Knox said the prisoner would go for trial, and would no doubt be punished for the offence; but, at the same time, Miss Webb must not forget that by letting the prisoner have her keys at times, she had placed temptation, which had at last become too strong, in the prisoner's way. The prisoner was then committed for trial. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

THE EMPEROR'S VAIET. Jean Noel Santini, the Emperor's ialet, was of humble parentage, and was born e i o n rs a jc p a o , noirltihe 3 little hamlet 179ion.thenaarvroinng dissement of Bastia, in no example before him in childhood btt that of the rough and bold mountaineers of his country, and the triumphal songs of the Grand Army—the echoes ct which reached the thatched roof of his parents—being ais only lullaby— Santini was proud, like every son of Corsica, to be the countryman of the conqueror of Italy —of the hero whose name filled the world. He thought of nothing save battles and Bonaparte; and, instead of waiting till he had attained the age required by law to draw for the conscription, the enthusiastic lad was admitted in 1804 as drummer to a battalion of Corsican sharpsho °ten, then in garri son at Antibes. The boy's golden dream—his daily hope —was to see Napoleon : to hear the cannot roar, and balls whistle--but to see Napoleon above all. The hope was soon to bo realised. The command of tie battalion had lately passed into the hands of the Count d'Ornano, and the sharpshooters were now ordered to assemble under the standard of the First Consul at Anibleteuss. Santini was happy, his ambition was achieved : his dream became reality. THE EMPEROR'S PRIVATIONS AT ST. HELENA. Time passed on, but brought no change to the exiles of Saint Helena. Santini still continued his thefts of wild sheep and sucking pigs, but for which the Emperor would have been often dinnerless. The c:othes and shoes of Napoleon, too, were no longer wearable—in fact, his wardrobe was in such a dilapidated condition that Santini, who was not a bit better tailor than he was hair dresser, was obliged to cut up an old grey redingote of his master's, in order to make it into a coat. In the same way, he turned an old pair of boots into a 'air of shoes, lining them with some pieces of white satin given him for the pur pose by Madame Bertrand. There is a:so a hat, now in the possession of Count Marchand. which was trimmed by San tini with satin coming from the same source. This sort of life became insupportable ; and the Emperor was at last compelled to part with all his silver plate, which was broken up by Santini in the presence of General Montholon, and was then sold at James Town. " I will not have my eagles sent to market, mountaineer," said the Emperor to San tini ; " destroy my cipher completely, break everthing into the smallest fragments, so that the noble emblems of the French Empire may not become objects of traffic to our enemies." THE VALETS RESOLVE TO LEAVE THE HERO. It was great matter for surprise with all who knew San tini that he was one of the two exceptions; and every motive but the right one was assigned for hie quitting a master he loved so dearly. The fact was that the faithful Corsican had found a way of making his departure from the island more useful to the Emperor than his stay in it would would have been. His intentions vrill be best explained by the following conversation. Alone with Napoleon, Santini said to him, " Sire, does your Majesty doubt of my devo tion "No ; but why this preamble 1" "IS your Ma jesty quite convinced that I would give the last drop of my blood to be of service to you ?" "Yes, yes," said Napoleon impatiently; "go on." "It was neces sary to me to receive this assurance from your own mouth, Sire, before explaining myself." " Well, I know you to be a most faithful servant : now go on." " Sire, I do not intend to sign the declaration of Sir Hudson Lowe." "Why not ?" asked the Emperor, his eyes flash ing fire. "I must leave you, Sire." "So you would abandon me, mountaineer I" cried the Emperor sadly, "oh, men, mei. I" " Sire, I have resolved to leave you, but only that I may serve you the better. Of what use to you am 1 here ? whereas in Europe, humble as I am, in making use of your name, and still fresh from your service, I can first of all awaken public curiosity, and then turn it to the profit of your Majesty. I shall relate everything that has passed here ; I will have the account of your daily torture on this miserable rock published is the English news papers ; and, when this is known, surely the indignation of the world will fall on the English Government, who, by this means, will be compelled to render justice to your Majesty." Santini evinced such animation while unfolding his project that the Emperor was much impressed ; he re flected for sofne time, and then said, pulling Santini's ear, " Well, mountaineer, your project pleases me; but have you well considered the task you wish to undertake ? Will it not be too much for you ? Will you be able to accomplish it ?" " With God's help, yes, Sire." THE EMPERORS FAREWELL TO HIS FAITHFUL SERVANTS. The hour of departure had come, and the vessel bound for the Cape was ready to set sail. Napoleon sent for the faithful servitors who were about to leave him, most likely for ever ; and, after a sad and touching farewell, after tell ing them to cherish his memory, and to love their country, he gave to each a written title to a pension for life, to be paid by the different members of his family. They then left him ; but he signed to Santini to remain, and when they were alone, said—" Well, are you still in the same mind ?" More than ever, your Majesty, am 1 not going ?" "Do not compromise yourself, or you will be lost : be pru dent, or you will not succeed." " I shall remember that I have to save your Majesty from the claws of a tiger—l will be prudent." " Very well." And the Em peror called to the Count Las Cases and his son Emanuel, who were occupied in the cabinet adjoining, " Have you finished that transcription ?" " Yes, sire," answered Emanuel Las Cases; and he delivered to Napoleon the fragments of satin on which he had copied the protest in microscopic characters with Indian ink. Santini received it from the Emperor's hands, and with it the last farewell of his master—that adored master by whose side he never stood again until five and twenty years' afterwards, when the dead hero was brought to France, to find a shelter under the gilded dome of the Invalides I The last occasion on which the cause of the Emperor was pleaded before the House of Commons was on the 16th of March. The sitting was a stormy one, but it witnessed the complete triumph of the noble defender of Napoleon. A Commission, formed of men of mixed opinions, was de spatched to Saint Helena, with orders to inquire rigor ously into ;the condition of the prisoner. They had full power to act, and they did what they could : but they could neither change the climate of the island, nor its governor. Death, too, was marching with giant strides towards Napoleon. Still some good was done, and the Emperor was fully sensible of it. On receiving the pam phlet and newspapers, in which his protest had been pub lished, he cried out joyously, "Ala! I told you all along that my mountaineer would succeed :" The mountaineer, however, says a reviewer of Mr. Jerrold's book in the Reader, never saw his master again. .He was arrested at Milan, and retained as a prisoner there, and afterwards in Vienna, till the death of the great ex lie set him free. The Revolution of July 1830 brought tl le faithful fellow some luck, for, he became door-keeper to the Cabinet of Louis Philippe, and att--r -wards held at i appointment in the Post-office. But a more appro p riate post was in store for him in the end of his d a y s. He had seen the remains of his great muter brougl it in triumph to Paris; but he saw more than that— the Bonaparte dynasty revived and re established. Louis Napoleon, even while yet only Pre sident of the Republic, took every opportunity of seeking out and rewarding the survivors of those who had been faith:W. to his uncle; and, a guardian being re quired for t'a told) ,Santini Emperor's tol, Santini was appo i n t e d to tho offit o, and made chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Y ear after year he performed his duty of watch ing by the splendid tomb; and not many months since he died at his :post, THE MURDER AT TEIGNBRIDGE. The coroner's inquiry concerning the death of John Meers, aged 31, whose body was toucd in the water under one of the arches at Teignbridge on Friday, the 22d of ANgust, was resumed on Tues day, et the Union Inn, Teignrace. William Handyn, a labourer, of Leverton, de posed that the last time he saw deceased alive was on Thursday, the 13th of August, at the Newton Races, in company with a fellow workman, called Coleman. He saw him several times during the evening. He appeared to have been drinking. Between nine and ten he saw deceased near the grand stand, and heard him say to Heath, "Heath, you are quite a different man from what I took yon to be." Heath did not reply, Witness was cross-examined at considerable length by Police-constable M'Ternan, in reference to what he had told him concerning the affair. Witness professed that he did not remember what he had told the constable, and gave his evidence in such a way as to call forth a severe rebuke from the coroner. Thomas Harris, a bargeman, of Newton, said that on the night of the first day of the races, about half-past ten o'clock, he was returning from the races, and when near the Kingstcignton Bridge, a man came up and caught him by the legs, and attempted to throw him over the bridge. A man called Bully came to his assistance. He followed the man, who was a stranger to him, to the Dart mouth Inn, Newton, where he was told his name was Bunker. Witness also said that he saw the deceased on the second day of the races, cn the racecourse. John Heath, a potter, of Bovey Tracey, was next called, and, after being cautioned by the coroner, in the usual way, deposed to having seen the de ceased at the Newton Races on Thursday, the 13th of August. The last time he saw him alive was between eleven and twelve in the evening. De ceased was then sitting on a form in the last booth towards Newton. He appeared to have been drink ing. Witness shortly afterwards left to go home, in company with a man called James Lethbridge. When witness left the course there was fighting going on in ono of the booths, between some sparring men and a number of Kingsteignton men. Witness got home between two and three o'clock in the morning. On his way home he passed over the bridge where the deceased's body was found. On passing the booth the deceased sp oke to him and said, " Heath, you have assaulted me." Wit ness, in fighting, hit the deceased twice in the face, kneeking him down each time. Ho never quarrelled with the deceased before, as there was no one in the pottery he respected more. At this stage of the proceedings the Coroner re marked that he saw but very little at present that would assist the jury in coming to a satisfactory conclusion. The whole of the evidence having been read over, the Coroner observed that, as the evi dence was now before the jury, it was for them to form their own opinion upon the matter. He did not think it was probable the deceased had come into the water by his own act, but that he m us t have been violently ill-used, and afterwards, by some parties unknown, thrown into the water. He considered that if the jury were to return an o p e n verdict, the police would then be able to bring the parties before the magistrates, as he was clearly of the opinion that the deceased had been murdered. The room was then cleared, and the jury, after the lapse of about forty minutes, returned the fol lowing verdict :—" That the deceased was mur dered by blows inflicted upon him, and afterwards thrown into the water, by some person or persons unknown." The Coroner said that he perfectly agreed with the verdict, and intimated his intention of comm . u nicating with the Secretary of Statf, with a view of having a reward offered for the discovery of the perpetrator.

" NARROW EtiCAPE OF AN EXPRESS TRAlN.—Yes terday John Albuary, a butcher, residing at Agnes place, Plumpstead, appeared before Mr. Maude, sitting in the Woolwich police-court, to answer an adjourned sum mons, charging the defendant with endangering the lives of passengers on the North Kent Railway: by leaving a horse and cart on the line, near the Abbey-wood station. From the evidence previously taken it appeared that on the 12th of August the defendant, with a horse and cart, was passing slowly over a level crossing of the railway at the moment that an express train to London was in sight. The danger signal was fortunately given to the driver of the train, who instan tl y slackened speed, and a collision was avoided. The defendant pleaded that his eyesight was bad, and that he was also deaf. He did not see or hear the train until it was neat, and he then got off the lino as soon as possible. It was stated that the South-Eastern Com pany did not intend to prosecute, as the offence did not ap pear to have been wilfully committed. The defendant was then discharged. REVISING BARRISTERS.—The revision of the lists of voters in England and Wales must be completed within the 15th inst. and the 31st October. The sum allowed for the current year is £ 17,850, a llowing 200 guineas to each revising barrister.

A collection of ancient carriages has been added to the South Kensington Museum attractions. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT has been adapted for sur gical purposes. A peat difficulty in many operations is the want of light, and by means of a small vacuum tube, bent into a helix or screw, a kind of luminous cylinder is formed, which may be introduced into very narrow cavities. Car buretted hydrogen, carbonic, and a hydrochloric acid are used in the vacuum tube to produce whiteness in the light. --London Rev few, SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.

Easthorne, was removed from the Higher Town Inn, in a shell, in temporarypenw Penwithers-bridge, m .h i r n i u d s ge of , the charge of hi s mother and other relatives, to the whenceW s it Cor nwallwas co conveyed v ßailway, ey e dby at the 7.15 train to Peezance. The deceased lived n that town, and has left a w id ow and five children. The widow is a daughter of Mr. Richard Thoma s , an engine-driver on the line, an d M r Thomas, who lives in Camborne, is desirous that the body should be taken there for barial. As in all cases of dee,th by accident in Cornwall, the funeral will be ?at tended by large numbers of sympathisers. Another death has resulted from the accident, Thomas Olds, the assistant guard, having expired about one o'clock, an mor ning, in the Royal Cornwall Infir mary,e his ay smother being with him at the time. His fatht r, a small farmer, of Gwinear, was also in the house, having, with the young woman to whom the deceased was engaged to be married next Saturday, been constant in attendance upon him. Up to Sa turday last deceased was a porter at the Penzsnc Station, but had just been appointed to a situation as fireman, and which he would shortly have taker,. On Sunday the brother of ens of the present guards having to be buried at Truro, the deceased was selected to act as assistant-guard for that day. Little more than eight hours afterwards he WAS in jured. The passenger and general traffic of the line is maintained, temporarily, by means of four-horse omnibuses, running from and to the Truro Station in connexion with the several trains. They pro ceed on the turnpike to and from Sealock, where the road and railway are nearly on a level. The restitution of the bridge at Penwithers is being rapidly proceeded with by a large number of workmen, under the supervision of Mr. Sheriff, the resident engineer. It is probable that the line will re-open to-morrow. With the exception of some few stones et the top which came away with the southern beam, the masonry of the bridge is found to have sustained no damage from the la'zo accident. It was against the eastern end of the south hand-rail that the engine struck on Sunday evening. On this end the engine—of about 30 tons weight, and running probably at from 15 to 20 miles an hour—impinged with such force as to split it through the greater part of its length, and, rending the bolts by which it was fastened to the truss, to send it flying on to the south slope of the western embankment—a distance of some 40 feet. At the same instant the engine, having but one set of wheels on the permanent way between the rails, smashed the southern truss ; and the suspended beam and flooring, having thus lost their chief sup port, gave way. The engine —the southern wheels of which, after leaving the embankment, could have had no support whatever—toppled over into the road, together with the south truss and the greater part of the bridge flooring. The stoker, John Jones, in the Infirmary, is likely to recover. He was on the south side of the engine when the collision occurred, but as the engine came on the bridge he got on the boiler, and leaped from it on the north side, and was immediately so self-possessed that his first exclamation was, " Where's my mate ?" Ile at once crossed the embankment and assisted in the efforts that were being made to release the driver, Easthorne, who at first complained about his legs, and then repeatedly exclaimed, with all his remain ing strength, " Lord, have mercy on my soul," and died in about ten minutes.—Western Morning _News.

WIDOWS.—Among the A c t s o f Parliament recently re -7— Z: it tly printed was one to enable pro.. vision to be made out of the funds of Greenwich Hospital for the widows of seamen and marines slain, killed, or drowned in the sea service of the Crown. A sum of £5,000 annually may now be appropriated by the Admiralty out of the funds of the hospital as a provision for the widows of petty officers and seamen, and of non-commissioned officers and privates of the Royal Marines, who, after the passing of the act, may be killed or drowned in the service of the Crown. The widows' fund is to be created by the accumu lations of the unexpended balances, and to be invested in the Public funds. The . Admiralty may make rules for the regulation and maintenance of the fund, which rules are to be approved by an order in Council. COLLISION OFF THE COAST OF CORNWALL.—A collision took place on Sunday night off the westerly part of the Cornish coast, between the schooner Minerva and the smack Elizabeth. The Minerva, commanded by Captain Rich, belongs to Scilly, and had sailed from Car diff on Saturday evening, bound for Plymouth. The Eliza beth, Captain M'Gowan, was sailing for Dublin, and while between I.et nd's-end and Mount's Bay came into collision with the Minerva, at 615 p.m. There was plenty of day light, and the wind was blowing strongly from the N.B. A heavy sea was running. The Minerva, which was struck on the port quarter, sank in less than three minutes. The crew were saved, although one remained in the water fur more than a quarter of an hour before he was picked up. The schooner Desire took the captain, his wife, and the seamen on board.
