The demand continues active, aad 3.1 4 per cent. are the q u otations for the best d e sc r ipti ons o f merca ntile three months' paper. The rates in the open market t hus approaching the level of the official minimum aro the consequence of a good inquiry prevailing at the Bank of England.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEATI3ER, 8, 1.863. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. THE EXILE OF ST. HELENA. Under the quaint heading of " The man with the Tortoise -shell Spectacles," Mr. GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA, one of the most brilliant and ready-witted men of letters now upon the English press, has contributed a remarkable paper to the new num ber of the Temple-Bar Magazine for Sep tember. Enumerating in this bold and honest, this thoroughly outspoken and perfectly truthful paper, some of the many infamous and des picable cruelties inflicted upon Napoleon the Great in the days of his misfortune by the British Govern. ment of that time, a Government that was at the very least anything but magnanimous —Mr. Sala has the following remarks in one part of this con tribution, in reference to— ledge, in regard to the treatment undergone by the greatest man of modern times when lingering out the last six wretched years of his wonderful life as the captive of ungenerous England, Mr. Sake s unthinking assailant would do well to complete his labours by reading the noble and affecting stanzas addressed in reproach to England in this matter by as truehearted an Englishwoman as she was one rarely gifted in intellect—the .late Elizabeth Barrett Browning. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. N N o t.l . l 3 s , A s N t c e E el s ,s ß C E: u t r o t v , REMOVAL A G c eo r r .— ges h , e w o a w s of the house, No. before Mr Tyrwhitt, under the following circumstances. It appears that on the Bth of July, the owner of the house was summoned before Mr. Mansfield, who was then sitting at this court, for having several rooms in his house in such a filthy state as to be a nuisance and injurious to health, the 3 and of the house, owing to the overflowing of the water closet and the bad supply of water, being in an exceedingly loathsome state, and endangering the health of the persons residing in the house. After evidence had been given by Mr. James Grant, the [nspector of Nuisan ces, and the medical officer of St. George's, Mr Mansfield made an order that the premises should be cleansed within ten days. From that time to the present no notice has been taken of the order, and Mr. Grant stated that the premises, when he examined them on Saturday last, were iu the same filthy state. Mr. Capson, the solicitor for St. George's, said that the present proceedings were taken under tee 14th section of the Nuisances Rawoval Act, under which the owner of the house, by his neglect to obey the order made, had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 10s. a day for every day of his default. After some conversation and evidence that the original order had not been obeyed, Mr. Tyrwhitt made an order against the owner of the house who, as on the former occasion, did not appear, and was said only to be at the house once a week, when he calls for his rent, for the payment of a penalty of 23. 6d. a day for 26 days, and costs, Mr Tyrwhitt observing that perhaps that would have the desired effect in putting an end to the nuisance. THAMES. THE WORST THIEF IN THE DISTRICT —Catherine Har rington, a masculine, bloated, and dissipated woman, ap• parently about 60 years of age, who owned to being 40 only, was charged with stealing a pair of boots and a waistcoat from a sailor named Siephens. Henry Wells, police-constable 495 A, said the prisoner had been in custody a great many times—he could not say how often—and had been summarily convicted eight or nine times and sentenced to short periods of imprisonment. She was once convicted at the Clerkenwell Sessions for robbing a sailor of his watch and recney and stripping him of his clothes at the same time, and was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. She had very recently been released from prison. In February last sbe was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with a serious highway robbery. She knocked down and ill-used a seaman in Ratcliff-highway, and robbed him of his watch, and Mr. Selfe would hays committed her to the Central Criminal Court for trial, but was prevented from doing so owing to the prosecutor leaving England in his ship for India on the very day she was Lrought before the magistrate. Mr. Selfe then said no one deserved penal ser vitude for life more than the prisoner, and that he was com pelled to decide the case summarily, under the Criminal Justice Act, because the prosecutor was going to sea, and he sentenced her to s:x months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been in the practice of stoppin g drunken sailors, and she was not over scrupulous about ill using or knocking down any man who made any resistance. The prosecutor in this case said that he was intoxicated yesterday, and that he was robbed of his waistcoat and boots. A police-constable named Pye, 87 ri, stated that he saw the prisoner and a man come out of a publichouse in Shad well. She was carrying a pair of men's boots. He fol lowed the prisoner and took her into custody, on which her companion struck him a violent blow on the side of the head. He secured the prisoner, and her bully ran away. The witness then produc ed the boots, which wer e identified by Stephens, who was without any on his feet. The constable said that ho found a duplicate relating to a waistcoat on the prisoner. Louisa Brown stated that she saw the sailor asleep on a bench in a publichouse. The prisoner and a man with her were " muddling " the sailor. Catherine Harrington felt in his pockets and could not find any money in them. The prisoner then "muddled" the sailor, and took off his boots. The prisoner was remanded to ascertain whether the ticket of the waistcoat found on her related to the one stolen from the sailor, and also to bring a proper record and proof of her former conviction at the sessions. WESTMINSTER. THE TOURNAMENT TRUMPETER AT CREMORNE.---AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.— James Naggs and George Easton, two rough-looking fellows, were placed at the bar charged with stealing some money and a watch upon the highway, assisted by a number of others, and with great personal violence. The prosecutor, who gave his name James Robert Vokey, and described himself as a professor of gymnastics, said—. Last night, at a quarter past ten, I met these men and five others near Cremore e Gardens, and they robbed me. lam the trumpeter of the tournament at Cremorne, and these men took me to be intoxicated. Mr. Arnold—Why should they take you to be intoxi cated ? Prosecutor—l mean they imagined I was. Mr. Arnold—You imagine that they imagined something. Prosecutor—My usual business is a commercial traveller as well as being a professor of gymnastics and trumpeter of the tournament, bat when I am going to my latter employ ment I accustom myself to shako my whip, and that is no reason why I should be robbed ; do you think it is ? Mr. Arnold—Dear me, no ; there is nobody suggesting such a thing. Prosecutor—When I ride my mare in the tournament I flourish my whip. Mr. Arnold—Never mind that; tell me what these men did. Prosecutor—They lifted me up by the legs and robbed me. But I believe the nearest (Naggs) to be a very honest young man led away. Mr. Arnold—What next ? Prosecutor—l said to them, "Gentlemen, what do you require?" and they quietly replied, " We want y our watch and chain: , I said, "D o you intend to rob me ?'' When this one nearest said, "Throw the old -- into the river;" and I said, " Oh, no ; give ice a chance for my life. I will take either of you singly." See how they have cut me and bruised my head with their violence. They seized by my throat. I had a steel collar on, and now look at my neck. I said I will tackle three of you, although lam 53 years of age. Mr. Arnold—What did you lose ?

Mr. Arnold—Now, tell me what Naggs did. Prosecutor—Ho caught me by the throat. They gar rotted me and used a great deal of violence, Mr. Arnold—What did Easton do Prosecutor—He held me by the legs. They left my chain, it is worth 10 guineas. You may have it tested, if you like. Easton kicked me, and they intended to murder me. I have no right to be murdered, although I am trumpeter at the tournament at Cremorne. Mr. Arnold—Nobody suggested such a thing. Prosecutor here rambled into so much incoherent matter that he was desired to stand down, every endeavour to obtain a succinct account of the transaction being un availing. Inspector Tarlton said that the prosecutor gave a totally different version of the matter last night. M'Kenzie, 287 A, proved that he never said a word against the second prisoner until he followed hint to the station. Prosecutor hero interrupted the proceedings, and was turned out of court. Evidence was then given to show that he was intoxicated, and had charged other parties with the robbery. Mr. Arnold said it would be an injustice to detain the prisoners upon the prosecutor's unsupported evidence. Prisoners were discharged. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARK TS.

The superb Prince Regent, who was too high and mighty to answer the letter addressed to him by the kidnapped captive of the Bellerophon, became a king, and died in corporeal rottenness and mental execration, leaving a memory so abhorred even in his own family, that the Queen of England would not suffer the bodies of her mother and her husband to lie in the dis. honoured sepulchre of George IV. Of the crowd of hack writers whom High Toryism incited to spurn the dying lion, John Wilson Croker, the chief libeller of the Quar terly Bering, is quite forgotten as Secretary of the Admi ralty, but is remembered and contemned as the pander to an infamous nobleman; and Theodore Hook expired a pauper with a nutmeg liver, and the bailiffs hammering at his outward gates. And were .poor Sir Walter Scott (who, although he had the misfortune to be a High Tory, was also a Christian gentleman) alive at this moment, I am in clined to think that he would spend his last p enn y i n buy ing up the rema'nder of his calumnious 'Life of Napoleon,' and burn every copy for shame." In another part of the same contribution the editor of the Temple-Bar Magazine goes on to describe some of England's many PALTRY INSULTS TO THE GREAT CAPTIVE. "Arrived at St. Helena, he was not permitted to occupy the only decent residence in the island, Plantation House —that was set apart for the high and mighty governor, selected by the Tories at home, and now on his way out— but after living for some weeks in a hovel at the end of a garden, in which there was scarcely room to swing a cat, and which belonged to Mr. Balcombe, the gentleman appointed to supply his future establishment with chandlery and butchers' meat, he was thrust into a barn patched up with boards and pitched paper, nailed toge• ther by ships' carpenters, and called Longwood. There, encamping a regiment of infantry at his gates, and posting sentinels at every corner and on every goat-path leading to the sea, and focussing hundreds of cannon upon him, and spying upon him if ever he chose to ride on horseback or walk in his arid garden, they left him to the heat, and the dust, and the mosquitoes, and his own miserable thoughts. They sent him to read only such English news papers as were filled with abuse of his policy, his family, and himself : and even then the Tories took care never to let him have a complete file, but ingeniously broke the succession, so that his views of contemporary history should be muddled and obscure. The high and mighty governor, whose name was Lowe, and who had been an orderly clerk to Marshal Blucher, and the commandant of a horde of Sicilian bandits hired to cut throats by the British Government, came out in due course; installed himself at Plantation House; insulted the prisoner by asking him to a ball as General' Bonaparte; confiscated the present sent out by good Lady Holland, merely because they bore the inscription 'To Napoleon the Great;' discovered that the party at Longwood ate too much bread and drank too much salad oil, and insisted upon the expenses being cut down accordingly; and stated to Barry O'Meara that he considered Ali Pasha to be 'a much more respectable scoun drel than Bonaparte.' I forgot to say that he gobbled up all the sound partridges and pheasants which could be procured from the Cape for the exiles wretched table, and only sent to Longwood such game as was utterly putrescent and uneatable. These delicate attentions, combined with some thousand more outrages and insults which I have not space to enumerate here, but which I mean to put some day in a big book (dedicating it to the infamous memories of Liverpool and Castlereagh, not forgetting the master of these wretches, the Regent), produced ; in a surprisingly brief tivityby merely apace Tories i n sending Napoleon to St. He l ena wa s to kill him of time, the desired effect.

Curiosities of Occult Literature, By C. Cooke. One Vol. pp. 275. Hall, Smart, and Allen. The writer of this " strange eventful history" of his own inquiries into the pribtematie truth or falsehood of the pseudo-science of Astrclogy, has chosen for his title-page, as it appears to us, the most discouraging motto, surely, that was ever pre sented to the eyes of an intending reader at the opening of any volume, whether large or small, good, bad, or indifferent. Quoting from Lord Eldon, he says to his reader, upon this unlucky titlepage—" The mind sickens when it contemplates the voluminous appendages of this suit." The book— as the reader will at once say to himself, musingly, (whatever the suit hinted at may prove to be) the book itself, being the last and the most voluminous of those same appendages, or a resume, or a re chaufee, or a most painstaking enumeration or record of them all ! Having ourselves, in spite of of the repellant motto referred to, run our glance through these pages of undoubted " Curiosities," we may state at once that it answers in its contents to the latest of the above definitions. It is, in plain terms, a narrative by the writer of several years devoted by him to the examination of a study once popular amongst philosophers, and, what is more, amongst the world's greatest philosophers — men like Bacon and Milton, like Socrates and Aris totle—but nevertheless a study that has long since dropped away from the ken of the professional fre quenters both of thelaboratory and the observatory, what we have here already spoken of, as the pseudo science of Astrology. Bitten with a belief, or, let us say, a notion, that there might be yet something after all worthy of examination, even of cre dence, in this old, abandoned, obsolete, exploded science of Astrology, Mr. C. Cooke, a little more than fifteen years ago, then a young solicitor just beginning practice, a man (as every word in this book shows quite distinctly) of the strictest honour, of perfect good faith, and of considerable ability— in 1847 began his investigations into this recondite matter, began to collect some of the " Curiosities" lie has here, in rather melancholy mood, brought together, and poured out in some twenty chapters and ten sections of an eccentric appendix before the public ! The appendix we have called eccentric advisedly; for it certainly appears to us to be the greatest mistake in the volume, consisting as it does in parts, to all appear ance, of the mere sweepings of the author's study scraps of hurriedly pencilled notes, many of them, we doubt not, by the writer, supposed long since to have been dropped into the waste paper basket, and carted away from the area-bin by the parish dustman. Not such, however, having been their fate—here, with horrible exactitude, they inake their apparation in carefully corrected typography ! In spite of its motto, the book, we can confidently premise to any one who may meditate looking into it, is replete with entertainment. It consists of more than a collection of the " Curiosities of Occult Literature." It is itself a great curiosity as a whole—a psychological curiosity ! It is, so far as we can in any way understand it, a perfeetly honest series of revelations, or, as we may call them in old fashioned phrase, unbosomings, by an avowed Dis ciple of Zsdkiel! It lets the reader into all sorts of secrets, in regard to Mr. Cook's personal experi ences. The author frankly takes the whole world, or at least all those in it who may care a :isten to him, into his personal confidence. In these astonishingly candid pages, he recounts in rapid succession, among other singular things, his intro duction to Lieut, Morrison, R.N., author of Zad kiel's Almanac, and other astrological works ; his early Experiences ; and his own nativity calculated by Zadkiel in 1849. Besides this, the work relates the Cases of Bell and of Cepestick, at Bath, Impri soned for Astrological Practice. It quotes at full length a Leading Article written by us eleven years ago in this newspaper. It reproduces the Author's Anonymous Letter thereupon,also in this newspaper. It describes the attempts made to establish the Wellington Telescope Company, Capital £lO,OO0 — Promoted by Lieut. Morrison, and " Approved" by Lord Brougham. It relates the whole history of the Cardiff and Glamorgan Coal Company, Capital £50,000; the Early History of the Emperor Life Assurance Society ; and the Publication of the Author's first W ork, the " Plea for Urania." Not the least interesting part of the volume, how ever, has reference to a subject quite apart from its immediate purpose—being descriptive, this inci dental chapter (a very readable one, by the way)— carefully and (as ever with Mr. Cook) very honestly dcscriptive of a trip made by him across the Atlantic and through the then still nominally United States of America jest before the date of their actual dis. ['option. " Astrology in a Nutshell," a minor pro duction of the writer's, was published after his return from America. To this little brochure he also here makes reference; as likewise to the foundation of the Astro-Meteorological Society, of which, during its existence, he acted, as his much-avowing title page tells us, as its solicitor. The Book under notice we certainly regard as having its moral. And the moral it teaches, appears to be in every way so impressive that we commend it to the thoughtful scrutiny of all who may have a hanker ing after these same researches into occult litera ture. Whatever money Mr. Cooke may have ex pended while making his researches in that direc tion, he has certainty for one thing greatly enlarged his experience of men and things, and, while doing so, we must add, has lost nothing whatever of what appears to us his chief and most attractive charac teristic, a great natural ingenuousness of character !

CARDINAL MARIO SFORZA, ARCHBISHOP OF NAPLES.—Sir George Bowyer, in a letter dated Radley-park, Sept. 4, to our chief contemporary, writes : In a leading article to-day you describe Cardinal Riario Sforza as " an ornamental prelate," enjoying all the ameni ties of a luxurious courtly existence. This is a mistake. Cardinal Riario Sforza, is a man of saintly and mortified life. Though of princely birth, he has always lived in severe self-denial, devoted to the poor, the sick, and the afflicted, I will only mention one trait of his character. When the cholera broke out at Naples he was absent on account of bad health. He immediately hastened to his people. He passed night and day in the hospitals among the sick, at the risk of his life—dispensing with the most unbounded charity the consolations of religious and temporal relief. He expended all he had. He then sold everything of value that he possessed, When all was gone he borrowed money on his personal credit , that he might relieve the poor. At t h e termination of the pestilence he was left quit e i n p e nury. His heroic charity earned for him the title of " the St. Charles Borromeo" of Naples. But this is only one instance of the benevolence of a man whose whole life has been con stant devotion, charity, and self-denial. CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT AGAINST A MANUFACTURER.—At the police-court, Notting ham, on Friday, four young women, respectably dressed, applied to the magistrates for a summons against a factory owner in whose employment they were. One of the young women stated that whilst she was engaged at herustuahel work, her employer came behind her and perpetrated assault. The three other young women been assaulted in a similar manner.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Chelsea to express their sympathy with the present struggle for Polish independence, was held last evening at the Vestry-hall, King's-road, Chelsea—Mr. Hall, vestryman, in the chair. A deputation was in at tendance from the National League for the Inde pendence of Poland, consisting of Messrs. Beales, Facey, Odger, Stainsby, and J. R. Taylor. The CHAIRMAN having apologised for the absence of the rector, the Rev. Mr. Blunt, who was pre vented by a pressing engagement from taking the chair, and expressed his hearty sympAtby with the object of the meeting, Mr. RABBITTS, a vestryman, moved the fo!lowing resolution : " That the devoted and self sacrificing heroism of the Poles in ail their previous struggles in defence either of their own rights or of the liberties of other nations, as well as in their present struggle for the recovery of the freedom and independence of their country, entitles them to the cor dial affection and support of every free people; whilst the atrocious conduct of the Russians in their past misrule and oppression of Poland, and in the war they are now so savagely waging for its renewed subjugation, is a scandal to Christendom and an insult to humanity." Dr. HARNESS seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. E. BEALES, in a lengthened speech, and carried by acclamatien. Dr. LETISON moved a resolution approving of the objects of the newly-formed National League for Polish independence, which was seconded by Mr. G. ODGER, and carried unanimously. _ _ . Mr. FACEY moved the adoption of the following address to the Polish people:— "Poles ! We admire the devoted heroism displayed by all ranks and both sexes in your afflicted country in your present righteous and terrible struggle for national indepen dence. We abhor the brutal ferocity and sanguinary atro cities of your enemies and oppressors in the warfare they are waging for your renewed eubjugation. We earnestly pray for, and shall heartily rejoice in. your success and triumph. Your appeal to the peoples and Governments of Europe, as brethren, to recognise your national and belligerent rights to sever all alliance with the Czar of Russia as King of Po land, and to declare that Russia has no right to rule over you, claims our warmest sympathy and is entitled to our best support. We thus cordially respond to that appeal in the conviction—a conviction forced upon us by all the his tory of the past, as well as by the facts of the present age— that the re• establishment of your country as a powerful and independent nation, while it is the only atonement that can satisfy justice and humanity for the crimes of its original dismemberment and the subsequent cruelties to which it has been subjected, is imperatively demanded by the soundest policy as essential to the permanent peace and welfare of Europe, and as a protection and safeguard against incessant disorder and frightful convulsions, and all the lawless ex cesses and aggressive rapacity of armistic arbitrary power." Mr. ST•AINSBY seconded the address, which was agreed to, Mr. J. R. TAYLOR, the secretary of the league, having addressed the meeting, a rote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, Sept. 3.—Hop-picking is now very general throughout the district, and they appear thus far to come down better than was at one time anticipated. In one plan tation (Mr. Buck's, Loose), no less than 2,000 bushels of fine hops were picked on the first day (Monday), the pickers being much in advance of the dryers. The hops, where they are good in quantity, are also of very superior quality, and the crop will be remunerative. We are not short of hands, as since Friday last upwards of 15,000 hoppers have arrived by train, independent of parties travelling by road. On Sunday four special trains were put on at very reduced fares, and the station-masters had, in addition, to put on a num ber of cattle trucks, which, as well as the carriages, were crowded to excess, leaving no sitting space. Thanks to the excellent arrangements made by Mr. Ragget, and the good management of his subordinates, very little interruption has been given to the ordinary traffic on the line. FARNHAM, Sept. 3.—Picking has commenced, but not generally. Some come down well, but they vary; one piece, for example, at Tongham, is not looking near so well as they did a week ago. TENTERDEN, Sept. 3.—The late rains and the genial weather have improved the hops in this parish within the last fortnight. Picking has commenced in some parts, and, we hear, come down faster than was expected. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Sept. 2.—The hops in this neigh bourhood give promise of an average crop. In the best kinds of grounds they are in good condition, while those in infe rior situations are getting on well. Picking will very soon commence. THE HoP CROP ON THE CONTINENT.—The Cologne Gazette of Saturday se'nnight contains a letter from Nu remberg, dated August 21, which gives the follov, ing de scription of the condition of the hop crop in Bavaria : " The warm rains during the last eight days have had a most beneficial operation on the Bavarian hop plantations, and have promoted the growth so much that a tolerable estimate of the crop can now be given. Spalt, Weingarten, Moosbach, and Stirn look well, and only in the Spalt district are some places found which have partly suffered, and can scarcely now recover. The Hallertan growth is also good on the whole, and promises an abundant crop. The Dollen have for the most part sprouted there, and now begin to ripen. The Aisch plantation, whicu looked moderately well a fortnight since, has now much improved ; and the same may be said of Hersbruck and Altdorf, at which places the warm rain has had a particularly beneficial influence. On the average Bavaria will have a good half crop, and will also rejoice in hops of very good quality. The Dollen growth will in no instance be heavy. The stock of 1862 hops is very low, and are sold at 50 to GO florins per cwt. Purchases of IS6I hops have been be made at from 25 to 30 florins." The same journal also contains the following from Prague, dated Aug. 22 :—" The business in hops of the growth of 1862 has not been so active this week. The reports as to the new crops are favourable, as rain has fallen in several places. Although picking has begun in COMO plantations, a continuous rain may yet greatly increase the growth. Saazer-Stadtgut are quoted at 130 to 140 florins; ditto Landgut, 110 to 115 forms. Auschau red loops are 60 to 70 florins ; ditto green hops, 50 to 60 florins."—[The Ger man florin is generally estimated at is. 81, a pound sterling being usually received at 12 florins.] CRIME IN FRANCE, The Court of Assizes of the Seine on Saturday tried a young man named Bagot for a murderous assault on his own father. It appeared from the indictment that the prisoner, a man of brutal temper and drunken habits, had formerly been in business as a carter, but having killed all his horses by brutal treatment and neglect, he became dependent on his father and mother, who willingly gave him food and lodgings, but refused to supply him with money for drink ing. Ho Then endeavoured to enforce his demands by violence, and on the 19th June, having asked his mother for two francs, which she refuse' to give hiiii, he was about to strike her, when his father stepped between them. The brutal fellow immedi ately knocked him down by two blows with a heavy stick, and continued kicking and beating him as he lay on the ground. The father was so injured that he was obliged to keep his bed for above twenty days, and a complaint hav ing been lodged with the police, the prisoner was arrested and committed for trial. In court, the father and mother were both anxious to withdraw the evidence they had given before the examining magistrate inao; mediately after the offence, and all the other witn t the were inclined to follow their example ; putuoe for judges, though willing to make every parental feeling, would not allow the ends °rojsecutor that to be defeated.

The defendant had this document reprinted, w i th alterations , extending its application to other streets bes id es those mentioned in the original, and sent it to the proprietors of the additional houses. Ho soon after addressed his trade card to the same per sons, and sent agents to solicit their patronage. Some of the parties went to the Prefecture to make inquiries on the subject, and the trick was discovered. The defen dant maintained that the papers had not been distributed by him or by his orders, but the police soon found the printer who had supplied the circulars in question, although his name had been cut off, and he at once identified the de fendant as the person for whom he had executed them. The Tribunal declared the c'aarge fully proved, and con demned Arnoult to 25 days' imprisonment and 100 fr. fine. DUEL IN MILAN.—The Pungolo of Milan states that a duel took place on the Ist inst. between M. Filippo Filippi and M. Matchovich, editor of the arcala Politica, the motive baing an article published in that jour nal insulting M. Filippi. M. Matchovich declared that the article was not from his pen, but that he took on himself the responsibility of it, and a hostile meeting was accord ingly arranged. After an exchange of shots at 15 paces, which led to no result, swords were rc,,ortod to, when M. Filippi received a gash in the face extending from the ear to the nose. M.

She immediately afterwards hoisted the Confederate flag and entered the port. This is the fourth war vessel which has run the same blockade at that port within the last six weeks.

General Hess Four ran. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING• The near approach of the St. Leger, or any other great event, necessarily draws together the majority of subscri bers to the Subscription Room ; and taking into considera tion the vat ions counter-attractions at this essentially sport ing period of the year, the attendance at llyde-park Corner this afternoon was quite up to the average. The down ward tendency of Lord Clifden during the two previous days served as another inducement, and on their assembling in the room Lord St. Vincent's horse was put up at the long odds of 20 to 1, at which figure he remained for some considerable time, no one feeling inclined to come to the rescue ; but just at the finish 100 to 6 was accepted about him twice to a " pony." An impression, however, pre vailed that it was only an attempt to stay his downward tendency ; and although he left off at the price quo'ed below, his lordship was pronounced almost on all sides "gone." The Ranger, who had been supported in the City on Saturday and this morning,was again in immense force, anything over 7 to 2 having been accepted, but at the close layers would not increase those odds by a fractional part. 15 to 2 was booked several times about Avenger, one well known speculator having backed him to win £2,000 ; but before the lawn was cleared 7 to 1 was the highest offer. Golden Pledge met with some support at 9 to 1, but at half a point more even the winner of the Ebor Handicap would have had a host of friends. Borealis was frequently in quired after, and at 100 to 6 was supported to money : while Blue Mantle, who " touched" those odds once or twice, had some strong opposition from a well known bookmaker, who laid 20 to 1 several times, from which Captain Lane's horse scarcely rallied during the afternoon. Mogador, who was said to be such a wonder fully improved horse, had an equally wonderful demon stration made against him, 1,000 to 15 being offered. The subjoined list of prices at the close will sufficiently indicate the tone of the market. LEAMINGTON STAKES. 4to 1 agst Mr. Fleming's Magnum Bonum, 4 yrs, Tat 51b (taken) GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP.

Lord Clifden has still a downward tendency ; 100 to 4 was laid against him, and 20 to 1 freely offered at the close. Early in the day 2 to 1, and in some instances longer odds were laid that he would run for the St. Leger, but later on 2 to 1 was laid that he did not see the starter.

THE TRIAL OF COLONEL CRAWLEY.—The charges on which Colonel Crawley is to be tried are, we learn, as follows:—" 1. For having caused orders under which Sergeant-Major Lilley was placed a arrest in May, 1862, to be carried into effect with unneces sary and undue severity, whereby the sergeant-major and his wife were subjected to great and grievous hardships and sufferings. 2. For having stated in his reply to Mr. Smales's defence before the crart-martial, that it was Mr • Fitz-Sinions's fault if the sergeant's wife was inconvenienced by having the sentries placed near her bed, whereas ho know well that Mr. Fitz-Simons had acted in the matter by his express orders and direction."—Times of India.
