MONEY NAiKET AND COMARTICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The general discount market is still disturbed by the expectation of dearer money. Many parties limit the time till to-morrow, when the usual weekly Court of the Bank of England Directors takes place. Accordingly bankers and brokers are in no mood to transact business at present rates, and it is only first-class bills that can be negotiated at 7 and II per cent. Under these circumstances the com mercial public, whose position enables them, resort for assistance to the national establishment. The City of Baltimore has arrived from New York With £47,842. The Syria, which left to-day for Bombay, took out £118,280. There was a general advance in the foreign ex changes yesterday afternoon, consequent upon the rise in the rate of discount. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, August 1, a special settling day In the following securities :—Hamber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company (Limited), in transac tions only entered into on and after May 11 to be marked ; Societe Generale de l'Empir e Ottoman, in transactions only entered into on and after J aly . 13 , but the shares will not be admitted to quotation In . the official lists, the committee not being satisfied With the manner in which the company has been formed. The Mining business of the week has been chitfly restricted to North Pool, Seaton, Trelawney, North Resewarne, East Grenville, Wheal Hearle, Grylle, West Grylle, Spearne Moor, Providence, South Gorland, Great Vor, Wheal Basset, Condurrow, boleostb, Tincroft, Cook's Kitchen, West Condur l'ocr, West Seaton, New Seaton and Bryn Gwicg. T he rise in the standard for copper ores, the con tinued favourable price of lead, added to substantial i mpr3vements and discoveries ought, and will en- Shrine mining enterprises with peculiar interest as regards the future, and we unhesitatingly recom mend our readers to avail themselves of the present opportunity to purchase shares in well established t and recognised dividend and progressive under takings, and whilst ruling depression continues.— The Banking, Mining, and Joint Stock Companies Xeriew. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 12c. Affairs at the Stock Exchange are assuming a quieter appearance. The disinclination to speculate 18 now enhanced by the approaching fortnightly settlement, which as usual will occupy the greater part of attention. The Funds show no change, Con. cols being quoted 89i, 90 for money, and 90/ a for the account. The New Threes and Reduced An nuities are 89k ; March Exchequer Bills, 5s die, ; June do., 6s. to ls. dis, ; India 6 per cents. 107 i ; and Enlaced 4 per Cents. 931. In the Foreign Market there has been very little business, and prices are generally steady. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 699 70 ; do. Consolides, 491 60$; 'Mexican, 28k ; Greek, 23a ; Spanish Pas sive, 28 281 ; Portuguese, 47i 48/ ; Russian, 884 'B9 ; and the Confederate Loan 759 76k. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and a firmer tone has prevailed with regard to prices. North Western and North Eastern (Berwick) have improved 5e.; and Great Western, Lanca2hire and Yorkshire, and Brighton each 103. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain dull, at about previous quotations. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are, in some cases, at slightly enhanced rates. London Joint Stock have improved to 51i 52 ; Alliance Bank to 67 68 ; Chartered of India, Australia, and China to 46 i; while London and County have declined to 75 1 76.

The annual meeting of this body was opened here this afternoon under distinguished auspices. The inaugural meeting was held at the Court-house, where a large number of arch teelogists and ladies of Warwickshire attended. On the platform were the Marqiis Camden, Lord Leigh, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr Greaves, M.P.. Archdeacon Sandford, Dr Hooke (Dean of Chichester), DrWhewell (Master of Trinity College, Cambridge), Dr Guest (Master of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge), Mr Bre.cebridge, Mr Bereeford Hope, Sir John Boyleeu, and Sir R. Kirby, C.B. The Marquis Camden having resigned the post of president to Lord Leigh, and the Corporation of Warwick having presented an address of con gratulation, The PPESIDENT-ELECT, (Lord Leigh) delivered a brief inaugural address. He considered it a high honour to bo called upon to preside over the deliber ations of a society that had saved so many objects of interest in the country from destruction, and trusted they should derive great pleasure from their visit to Warwick and to the ancient castle of Kenji which, in the " golden days," had been visited by goo d Queen Bess. DrVietEe;ELL and Mr. GREAVES, M.P., added a few words i n cotcmendation of the object of their meetings. Mr BERESFORD Hopr a o :,:nowledged the kind nessbad h t ,en received. w ch i d tri ich es w c h onS t A h ic e s p: ci PR e D IY , for the clergy, wel comed the society to the diocese of Wor cester, and spoke of the valuable services rendered by era )logy i n the res t ora tion pf the sacred fabrics of the land, not only from ancient barbarism, but from the Goths and Vandals of mcdqn times, the mistaken zeal of churchwardens and clergy, and from ntilitaridn se'fishness. (Applause.) The Bishop of OXFORD rose to acknowledge the given to th e s ociety by vari ous welcomebodies,h that a and ha d bee n particularly by th e clergy of the diocese. Coming ther e es arazologists , t he y looked back and thought of the long roll of worthies connected with the county that they mighty refer to. He might begin with the great name of Wul stan, than which there was no greater name among Saxon worthies, end, going rapidly down the list, they came to a rnedioeval name, the great Dr. Parr, who certainly would have astonished Wulstan if he had seen him. Still further down the list they found Robert of Chichester — (a laugh)—and, unit prgoruedatofWthaelmst.luThen the great reign ing the three togethe r—Parr's wit crowning all—they Chichester's might fun, a n w d e l t h h e e ing Abbot of Leigh had received them with more than abbatial hospitality. It was not only in the gratification of those who came to these meetings that they were serviceable, but it was also that they might engraft on others their peculiar insanity, that they might, as it were, bite them and make them as mad as themselves. (Laughter.) Everything, he would say, that tended to make them live out of the mere present, and to carry them back to the past, had a tendency to carry them on to the future ; therefore it was not as mere old mites living in some remote cheese, but as men loving the past and look , ing on to the future, that they came among them and heartily thanked them for the reception they had given them. Mr BRACEBRIDGE called the attention of the visitors to a dungeon under the old gaol which had been visited by the philanthropic Howard. Mr BLOXSOME gave a short history of the county, and showed that it had beau visited by many crowned heads—Elwa,rd 1., 11., and IV., Richard I. and 111., Henry VII , Elizabeth, James Charles I. and 11., William 111., George IV., Wil liam IV., and Qatea Victoria. Amongst its poets were Drayton, Shakspere, Somerville, and Walter Savage Landor, still living. He was glad to con trast the language of public addresses of the pre- sent time, such as that they had received from the corporation of Warwick that day with the language used in former times. In the reign of Queen Eliza beth they woul rem..nnb3r that the people of Co ventry, being told that the Queen admired poet' y, ' hired a poet to aiostrophise her Majesty, and an address couched in the following terms was pre sented to the Queen " We men of Coventry Are very glad tc see Your gracious Majesty— Good Lord, how fair ye be 1" To which Queen Elizabeth is said to havo replied— Our gracious Majesty Is vely glad to see The men of Coventry—. Good lack, what fools ye be I". (Laughter.) This concluded the formal business of the morn ing, and Mr PETET then read a paper on the painted glass in the Beauhr u pp C hapel, after which the chapel was visited. To-morrow Wdrvriek and Itenilworth Castles will be visited. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) KNOX V, (11r-I'lln BOY.A.L ITALIAN OPERA. Their lordships delivered judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decisicn of Vice-Chancellor Wood, before whom the case was originally heard. It was a suit instittited for the declaration of a partnership between Cal. Brownlow Knox and Mr Frederick Gye, in the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden. Mr Gye denied that a parthet.Cip existed between himself and Col. Knox, and the Vice-ChateOlr decided in favour of Mr Gye. The cars was taken on appeal to the Lords Justices, and there argued at great length, but their lordships reserved their deciaien. Ti.is morning their lordships gave judgment, and after going at great length into the complicated matters, directed the bill to he dismiss 543 with £259 costs, without prejudice to several questions that had been raised during the argumonts. The rosult of the lodgment, more than likely, will be an appeal to the House of Lordg. COURT OF DIVORCE. (IMore Sir J. P, Wilde and a Common Jury) 13ANCit0Fr V, NASCIWIrr. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey appeared for the petitioner, and Mr Chambers, Q.C., Dim Sergeant Dalian tine, and Dr. Spinks and Mr Stavely Hill ik;'r the rcapon- dents. It will be remembered that this case was part heard oa. Saturday, and that it was a suit by Mrs Bancroft for judi cial separation on the ground of cruelty, which the respon dent, a printer, at Manchester, denied. He had also com menced a cross-suit, in which ho charged Mrs Bancroft with adultery with her own brother-in-law, Mr. Rumney. The hearing of the case was resumed this morning, when the following evidenc3 was adduced on behalf of the respondent, Mr Bancroft. Peter Elkington said he was for 11 years foreman to the respondent. He knew the petitioner's brother-in-law, Mr Rumney, with whom the adultery was charged, and who resided near the respondents. After the marriage he had frequently occasion to go to Mr Bancroft's office, and one day he saw Mrs Bancroft and Mr Rumney together there, and his arm was over her shoulder. That was about one o'clock in the day end three weeks after marriage. On another occasion he saw them in a kind of kitchen at Mr Bancroft's and they were sitting on a couch. Mr Rumney had one arm round Mrs Bancroft's neck and one hand was under her clothes. He identified a photographic) likeness of Mr Rumney. In cross• examination he said he was a married man and had a family. The marriage took place on the Bth of April, 1863. He was shocked at what he saw between Mrs Ben croft and Mr Rummy; he did not mention anything about it to, until he heard that ha was about to commence a suit for a divorce. He was engaged in getting up evidence for Mr Bancroft, and for that purpose went to differed brothels in Manchester. A man named Walker accompanied him on some occasions, and he was accompanied also by a man named Speller. Sometimes Mr Bancroft went with him. Mrs Catherine Pilkington, wife of the last witness, said that about a fortnight after the marriage she saw Mr Rum ney come to the dice during the absence of Mr Bancroft. She was at the house for about five weeks after the mar riage, and Mr Rumney called three times during that time. She saw Mr Rumney coming down stairs on one occasion. There were four bed rooms upstairs. Mrs Bancroft said he had been in the closet. _ _ . In cross-examination she said that she did not tell her husband anything about what she had seen for soma time after, and he said nothing to her about having seen any kissing.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY. —John Cooper, a lad, who dc• scribed himself as a maker of paper roses in summer and working in a brickfield in winter, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing a box of cigars from the shop of Mr Thomas Clarence, tobacconist, of Church-passage, Picca dilly. From the evidtnce of Mr Clarence, it appeared that a little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner stopped a short distance into his shop and then stre; shed out his hand and drew from the counter a box of cigars, and ran out of the shop. He pursued the prisoner, and caught him with the box under his arm. On stopping the prisoner he threw the box away, and then made off again, but he succeeded in catching him and gave him into custody. Tho prisoner said he was a maker of paper roses in sum mer, and in winter he was employed in brick making. A shoeblack gave him the box as he was passing down Church • passage. He told the shoeblack he did not want the box, and struck the shoeblack and then ran away. and after wards the prosecutor came up and said he had stolen a box of cigars. Sergeant Bason, 12 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. The prisoner wished the case settled at once, and Mr Tyrwhitt committed him for three months with hard labour. THAMES. CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— Mr Mask Ayers, the landlord of the " Crown Tavern," a public house situate at a place called the Orchard House, Poplar, appeared before Mr Paget, to answer a summons taken out by Georgo Young, a constable in the service of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who charged the defendant with cruelly ill•treating and tot turing a dog. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for the Royal Society; Mr Gomm appeared for the clef It appeared from the evidence of Alfred Thomas, a mechanic, that on Tuesday, the 21st of June last, he went into the parlour of the Crown to obtain some refreshment. He had a dog with him, which he allowed to run loose about the house. He was in the parlour 20 or 25 minute when he heard the cries of his dog in the yard. He hastened into the yard as quickly as possible, and saw the defendant, who was armed with a thick stick, beating the dog as hard as ho was able. He asked the defendant what he meant by such conduct, and he replied that the dog had been killing his chickens. Tlie dog was killed by the defendant. In cross-examination by Mr Gomm the witness said that when he first saw the dog in the defendant's yard it was behind a tub. The defendant said the dog was not yet dead, and beat it again with the stick, and flung it on the ground. John Patrick, a moulder, stated that he was sitting at the window of the Crown tavezn, and heard the cries of the dog. Ho saw the defendant beating it unmercifully with :h; stick in his hand. Mr Gomm, in defence, urged there was no cruelty in the, case, and that the defendant seeing the dog among the fowls in the yard whore his children were playing became alarmed, and went into the yard, where he found two of his chickens killed and the children alarmed. Vie defendant took up a stick and struck the dog a few blows and killed it. Three witnesses were called for the defenco, who said no unncessary cruelty or torture was used, and that the defen dant struck the dog three blows and killed it. One of the witnesses caused some amusement by saying that the dog ate two of the defendant's fowls, and only left three feathers. Mr Paget thought it strange that a dog should eat fea thers, and the defendant said that the complainant's dog killed two of his chickens and atc one and a half. The other half was left. Evidence was then given that Thomas took two dogs of the lurcher species into the Crown, and that he kept one securely fastened with him in the parlour. The other, which was represented to be 3 months and 11 . days old, was allowed to range about the premises, Mr Paget said this was a very proper prosecution on the part of the' Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Ho thought the defendant was guilty of a very cruel and a very brutal act, but he believed it was done hastily and without premeditation. The defence set up was not creditable either to the defendant or his witnesses. It was a ridiculous defence. It was very improbable that the dog that was beaten to death ate the fowls. As to any alarm for the children it was a trumped up story. He fined the defendant 20s for cruelty to a dog, to pay 20s compensation for the loss of the animal, and to pay 26a costs, The defendant immediately paid the money. THE CASE OF MRS. YELYERTON.—The further consideration of this case, which will be the judgment, has been postponed to Thursday (to-morrow). A FIGHT BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND A BULL. When the elephant was brought to the Place des Taureanx a fiery young bull was turned out. The bull advanced against his terrible adversary without evincing the slightest fear. Ha attempted to flank him in order to wound him; but the elephant, exhibiting an equal agility in his motion, did not suffer him to approach. Finally the bull attacked him in front ; bit everywhere con fronted by the formidable tusks, which interposed an impregnable barrier, ho did not succeed in wounding him. At last, in one of the assaults, the bull succeeded in thrusting his head beneath the tusks; but, before be could penetrate the tough hide of the elephant, he fell to the earth. The spectators only saw the elephant bend his head slightly, and rest the extremities of his tusks which had been plugged, upon the back of the bull. From that moment the bull was hors de combat, and when they afterwards killed him it was found „that three r;bs were completely crushed by the almost imperceptible movement the elephant had made in holding him with his tusks.—..l/aci 7 id ,mr.per.

Last week the number of deaths was 56, the average for the cerresponding week of the last 8 years being 49. Twenty-two, or nearly half of all the deaths, were among childre n of les s than 5 years of age, and 14 among persons of GO and upwards, The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis 7, pneumonia 2, bronchitis 4, whooping-cough, fever, and diarrhea 1, each 1; scarlet fever 2, and measles 3.

Dr. Letheby, in a supplemental report, stated that the ill um i na ti n g power of the g as su pp l ied to the City during the past week has been in each case ab ove the requirements of the Act ( f Parliament, but the average proportion of sulphur in the case of the Great Central gas has been above the amount sanctioned by Parliament, The Commissioners shortly afterwards adjourned. PANEGYRIC ON TIIE DEvim—Dentu and co. have published an extraordinary work by M. J. M. Cayla, on the subject of the Devi!, entitled "Le Diable, sa Gran• deur et 5a Decadencor HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which were 1,300 in the second week of July, rose to 1,399 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number of deaths in the twenty ninth week of the ten years 1854-63 is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,266. The mortality was high for the third week of July, for the actual number of deaths exceeded the estimated number by 133. The increase in deaths over those of the previous week arises in great measure from summer diarrhoea, The weekly. number of fatal cases of this complaint had been gradually rising, but had not attained 100 till last week, when it quickly rose to 145. Of these 145 cases, 28 occurred in the West districts, 31 in the North, 22 in the Central, 38 in the East, and 26 in the South districts. Six deaths from diarrhea x were returned in the Balgrave sub-district, 11 in Pancras, 9 in Islington, 8 in Clerkenwcll, 10 in Shoreditch, 3in Mile-end 0:d Town, 6in Poplar. The whole of the deaths caused by diarrLoel, with the exception of 14, occur red to children under two years of age. Besides these, 6 deaths were referred to cholera. Seventy-four children died of measles, half of whom died in the E Ast districts, in which division of the metropolis both measles and diarrhea I appear chiefly to prevail. There wore 5 deaths from measles in St. Mary, Paddington. There is much scarlatina in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster. The increase of the mortality in the week arose from the complaints that are fatal to children. The deaths of persons under 2() years of age increased from 693 in the previous week to 810 lest week ; those of persons 60 years old and upwards declined from 238 to 193. Deaths by convulsions rose from 38 to 71 ; those by developmental diseases of children fram 24 to 42 ; those by atrophy and debility (amongst children) from 63 to 74. A cabinetmaker, aged 63 years, died on the 4th inst., at 11, Little Paternoster-row, Christchurch, Spitalfields, from degeneration of the heart, accelerated by privation and want of food. Last week, the births of 976 boys and 891 girls, in all 1,870 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,831. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day was seasonably goad, and most samples came to hand in excellent condition. The demand, both for red and white qualities, was far from active; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The amount of business transacted, both in American and continental descriptions, was very moderate, Sot the quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full currencies. The supply of barley on the stands was very moderate. Tlas trade, however, was very quiet, and prices ruled, in some instances, the turn easier. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. Oats were in good supply, and slow request, on rather easier terms. Beans and peas ruled firm, and Monday's prices were fully supported. The flour trade was steady, at late rates.

The Directors of the National Bank have issued their half-yearly report. The accounts, which are brought down to the 3')th Juno last, show that, in addition to the £500,000 profit on the issue of new shares the nett ordinary profits of the Bank for that period amounted to £89,567 ls. In estimating the progress of the Bank this sum has to be compared with a profit of £49,067 153 10d, which was the amount earned for the corresponding half-year of 1863. The Directors have; however, declared their ordinary and extraordinary d;: idends at the same rates as on tho last occasion, feeling :_hat until new and oldsharesshall stand up to an Equal amL:unt, viz., £3O per share, it will be more equitable to as7cu' mulate in the reserve fund the amount of profits realised in excess of the rates of dividends latterly paid. For the half-year ending the 30th June the dividend on the old shares is therefore declared at the:rate of 8 per cent. per annum, with an extra dividend of 163 per share, making together £2 per share for the half-year, and the dividend on the new shares is declared in gross at 63 8d per share, the dividends on both being free of income tax. The increase to the Rest or undivided profits (in cluding the premium on new shares) will therefore, after the payment of these dividends, amount on the half-year to £542,900 7s 83. THE RIGHT OF MIGHT.—A remarkable case oc curred recently at. New York. Col. Arguelles, Lieut tenant- Governor of the district of Colon, in Cuba, captured a large cargo of African neg roes illegally landed within that district, and received his share of the usual prize money allowed. Subsequently he obtained leave of absence for the purpose of proceeding to N ew York on private business. The Captain-General cf Cuba represented that after the de parture of Arguelles it was discovered that he had retained and sold into slavery 140 o f the negroes, and that the Supe rior Court required his presence to warrant their prompt liberation. There has never been any extradition treaty between Spain and the United States, but nevertheless the Spanish Minister at Washington asked, "in the interests of humanity, and considering the gross and scandalous outrage committed," that Arguelles should bo surrendered to the authorities of Cuba. President Lincoln holding (as ho says in reporting the transaction to Congress) that " a nation is never bound to furnish asylum to dangerous criminals, who are offenders against the human race," and believing this to be a case for the exercise of comity towards a foreign Government, ordered Colonel Arguelles to be seized, and not taken 1 efore a legal tribunal, but conveyed on board a Cuban steamer. The arrest was effected as he was engaged at his morning toilette, in a room adjoining the chamber of his wife, and the affair was managed so well that she was in ignorance of his condition or destination until some days afterwards she learnt both from the Spanish Minister at Washington. The Wagington lotelligenc:r maintains that it has always been held " that the President has no right to arrest any one except for the violation of our own laws," it there is no extradition treaty and Act of Congress enforcing it. The Few York World alleges that the key to the trans action is that Colonel Arguelles has committed indiscretions at New York, and has exposed too much the complicity of the Captain-General himself in the slave traffic, inso much that the lat ter said, " I must have that man dead or alive." Mr. Lincoln had him delivered on board alive. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN NAPLES.--Th e munici pality of Naples have sold a piece of land to the Jews, which these latter intend to convert into a cemetery. Under the old regime they were not allowed to have a private burying pound. The South Yorkshire Colliers. The locksout of the South Yorkshire colliers, which has lasted exactly 18 weeks, has now teroie nated. At a meeting of the Coalowners' Associatien held at the King's Head Hotel, Barnsley, on Satur• day afternoon it was agreed that the lock-out should be removed, and the pits opened to the old hands. For the last two or three weeks the time for resum ing work depended on the Oaks and High Royd colleries, which were to have their full complement of hands before the others were opened. The Wks has been supplied with a good number of men from Nottinghamshire and other places ; and although there may not at present be so large a staff as there was previous to the strike, yet, considering the season, the managing part her appears satisfied. At High Boyd they are slid to be underhanded, but the proprietors, with their machinery and in other ways, have advantages which will counterbalance a deficiency. There was great excitement in Barns- ley up to a late hour on Saturday night on it being rumoured that work was to bo resumed at all the collieries locked out. The feeling was one of intense gratification, which could be read in the faces of the numerous knots of miners which were to be met with in the principal thoroughfares in the town, anxiously diecussing the probability of the rumour being correct, and which to them was of such vital importance. The determination of the masters was not officially announced to the public, but it is ex pected that by Thursday the greater part of the men will be employed. The lock-out has caused a vast amount of suffering, which has been borne with great patience, and it will take a consi derable time for the men to replace what they have been forced to dispose of to keep life in them selves and their families. The loss in wages alone during the time the strike and lock-out have lasted considerably exceeds £60,000. Singularly enough, the lock-out terminated by agreement on the day when the first coat-cutting machine was introduced and tried in the Barnsley coalfield, and which is to be followed by a number of others as fast as they can be turned out. The one alluded to was tried at Messrs. Hall and Stones, High Royd Colliery, on Saturday, and was in every way satisfactory. If as successful in cutting the coal as is expected, they must work a revolution in the coal trade, and, while altering the position of our colliery population, will diminish the chance of turn-outs for the future. The machines, it is said, will cut as much as 30 tops per hour, equivalent to the labour of 25 men, and in connexion with them ponies, it is said, will be intro• duced into the thick seam for hurrying purposes. The men who struck at the Oaks and High Royd Collieries continue out, and show no disposition to resume work on the old terms, and are tolerably well supported. How the termination of the lock out will affect them is not apparent, but the feet of the great body of the men resuming work will be received with satisfaction by the public, and by none with more pleasure than the colliers themselves. At the Barnsley Court-house yesterday eight colliers, named Wright, Carr, Hammerton, Simmons, Doran, Macarthy, Dundas, and Winter were charged with conspiracy. On the 16th just., at Barnsley, they had attacked men at the Oaks Colliery on their return from work, there being at the time a mob of 5,000 persons present. They were committed to the assizes on three charges. The Crops in Yorkshire. The hay harvest in this county is now nearly corn• pleted, and on the whole has been remarkably well won, in many cases the grass having been mown one day and gathered off the ground the nest. The produce varies widely in different quarters of the county. In the dales of the North Riding the unusual heat of May caused an early spring vegeta tion, which the frosts and succeeding cold of June cut down. The hill sides are not yet quite brown from the effects of frost. The absence of rain in June, followed by a very long drought, has ren dered the meadows very short of grass, and the con sequence is that the hay crop is only about half the average per acre. Pastures are very poor for want of rain, and, on the whole, present prospects for grazing and for winter fodder are anything but sa tisfactory upon the dairy farms. Further south, and in the East Riding, the drought has been less felt, but crops are below the average yield. This is causing buyers of hay to look after old stacks, where they are to be found, and prices are on the rise, with a prospect of higher figures as winter approaches. The shortness of the crop, how ever, is in some measure compensated by the splen did condition in which all the hay has been won, no rain having fallen worth mention for several weeks. The corn crops, on the whole, are looking well, but are much below the standard of last har vest, although farmers mostly admit there is about an average of promise. The want of rain has caused the straw, especially of spring corn, to be short, tending to give the crops a lighter appearance on the land than is really the case. Should the present hot weather continue there will be a rapid ripening, and harvest may be looked for in about three weeks in the forwardest parts. The pee, bean, and other crops are generally good. The turnip crop varies very much. In many places the fly did great injury to the first sowing, and there are very few early sown flats really good. The second crops got away pretty well, but the cold of Juno and the small rain fall of July have kept Chem back, and the crops as a whole will be late, but, with a flue autumn, pretty good. The June frost caused a general destruction of the potato foliage, and as the succeeding weather has been trying, the produce is yet small in s i ze. The crops, however, look healthy, and so far no complaint of disease has been heard. The old crop was never sold off, and many hundreds of bushels have been pulped for the cattle and pigs, and have helped out the shortness of grass in places. It is the opinion that this year's crop will prove sound but not heavy, and prices have mended considerably —2s 6d per bushel being given by dealers in the field, and the retail price being 3s to 4s, The gene r4 I re • desire is for rain, which has been much under t h e a verage—indeed, in some of the wold districts very iitt e e rain has fallen this year. DYEING EttATn:uts.—An important branch of the tinctorial art, tlia: which comprises the dyeing of feathers intended for dreo, has just been considerably improved in consequence of tie discovery of the colours made with aniline. Feathers, beWre being dyed, are sub eted to a process of ablution and bleaehing, , , in order to carry off all fatty or colouring matter. For this purpose, after the feathers have been properly sorted, they are treated with a lukewarm solution of about llb of soap in two of water. The feathers are left in this solution until the soap has produced its effect, and they are then put into a second bath similar to the former. They are then carefully raised several times, and after wards bleached by exposing them to the 9Ct:on of sulphurous acid, obtained by the combustion of sulphui ; after which they are washed once more and dried. The dyeng process new begins : they are dyed black by boiling them to a solu don of alum and Campeachy wood, to which the sulpht, tee of iron and copper are added ; lilac is obtained by herb-archel or chinney- weed, carmine extracted from indigo and alum; yellow of various shades by acetate of lead and chromato of potash, or else by annotto and a solution of potash ; green, by a solution of indigo and picric acid ; blue, by a solution of indigo and alum, or else by nitrate of iron and the yellow prussiate of potash ; and lastly, red by cochineal of Brazil wood. But much finer results are obtained in red, violet, or blue by employing the colours obtained from aniline, which adhere to feathers with as much tenacity as they do to cotton or wool, and give them a peculiar brilliancy. The only precaution to be observed is, to clean the feathers well bet ore dipping them into the warm bath containing colours the of aniline, and to leave them in long enough to allow colours to penetrate. As the colours of a niline are now prepared in a dry form, the bat h way consist o f water, into which an alcholic solution of the colouring must be mod erate, matter is poured. The temperature of t he bath aerate, otherwise the feathers would be spoi.
