01711 I - MARKET AND COMDTERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general discount market presents a rather stringent aspect, the engagements of the 4th having to be arranged to• day. There is a pretty good sup ply of money, but brokers are unwilling to take in bills below the official minimum of 8 per cent. A further sum of £44,400 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. • There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, although the rates were a triflo higher in a few instances. About £500,000 worth of the Mexican dollars by the last packet have been sold at ss. Old. per ounce, showing a fall of lid. compared with the previous price. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £1,719,251, and the exports to £71,410. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Tuesday next for a special settlement in the shares of the Ebbw Vale Company, for transac- tions entered into on and after the 22d July.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before T. Gibbons, EEq.) MINTON V. CORN AND ANOTHER-PHOTOGRAPHING A BAILIFF-NOVEL IDEA. This was an action to recover damages alleged to have been sustained in consequence of the defendants not pro perly teaching the plaintiff the business of a photographer, as agreed. When the case was originally tried before Mr Commissioner Kerr, it appeared that the plaintiff had paid a sum of money to the defendants, who are photographists in Fleet-street, to teach him the business, and he alleged that they had not properly endeavoured to do so, but had wasted his time and caused him to lose money. To this the defendants answered that plaintiff had no capacity, and that it was quite impossible to teach him. The plaintiff replied that they did not know how to teach, being quite incapable themselves. Upon this the Judge asked who was the bailiff on the Fleet-street district. Bailiff—l am, sir. His Honour—Then go to the defendant's studio and have your portrait taken—(laughter)—and when it is produced here on the adjournment day I shall be able to see how far they can teach you, plaintiff. To-day both parties attended, and his Honour asked for the portrait. The defendants having produced it. his Honour said that there really could be no mistake about it. Mr Aikman (high bailiff) recommended the bailif not to show the portrait to be hung in Fleet-street, or he might find a difficulty in serving those wanted. Plaintiff complained of the injustice of trying his case by any such standard as this. It was nothing to do with him, if defendants could take a portrait of a bailiff; what he re quired was either to be taught the trade or have his money back. His Honour could only be bound by that which he found in the summons. The case was adjourned for the portrait of a bailiff, which, being produced, satisfied the Court. Defendants said that plaintiff could not be taught. Plaintiff still persisted that he was not fairly dealt by, and his honour nonsuited him, but without costs. Plaintiff nonsuited, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE FIRE IN DEAN-STREET.—ASSAULT ON A CON STABLE.—Henry Talbot, of 48, London-street, Fitzroy square, was charged before Mr Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Dean-street, Soho, and also with assaulting Police constable Edwards 124 0. Edwards said that about 1 o'clock that morning a fire broke out at a timber yard in Dean-street, Soho, and he was en gaged with a body of constables in keeping the crowd back. The prisoner came up and tried to force his way through the line of police, and refused to go back. He told the prisoner that no persons were allowed to pass, and the prisoner then seized him by the throat and created a good deal of confusion, and he was obliged to take him into custody. In answor to Mr Knox, the constable said the prisoner was not sober. The prisoner said he had an aunt living in the street, and he was anxious to get through the crowd. He did not re member striking the constable. Mr Knox remarked that the constable did not say he was struck. Prisoner said he was sorry for what had occurred. Mr Knox said the police were employed at fires to keep order and assist the firemen, and if order was not kept ter rible things would happen. He should fine the prisoner lOs for assaulting- the constable. WESTMINSTER. A CHOICE OF REFUGE —PECULIARITY or TASTE.— Mary Starmere, a tall young woman, was charged with being disorderly at the door of St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea, and wilfully demolishing a pane of plate glass value 16s. George Biandford, the porter of the workhouse, said that last night the defendant came and requested to be admitted. He gave her an order for admission for the night, but she refused to accept it, Mr Arnold—What did she want then ? Witness—She wanted to be kept in the house. She said she did not merely wish for the night's lodging, but re quired permanent maintenance there. Mr Arnold—What did she say? Witness—She said she would either come in for good or go to prison and nothing else, and then she broke a large pane of glass. I produce a piece of it, it is half an inch thick. Mr Arnold—How did she possibly contrive to break such thick glass ? Witness—When she said she would take her choice and go to a prison, she went and got a brick, and then ham • mered at the glass until she broke it. Defendant said that she was ill, and wanted doctor's ad vice, and the workhouse was the place she considered the ought to go to, although she adulated that the had lived a very profligate life, Mr Arnold—He offered you an order for admission then, and you should have taken it. What do you say to break ing the glass ? Defendant—l admit it. Mr Arnold—l shall commit you for 14 days. I would give you a longer period, bat then you would have better food. With the 14 days you will only have bread and water. Defendant exclaimed " I can do it on my head." THAMES, HOCUSSING AND ROBBING A SAlLOR.—SarahWilliams and Caroline Fenning, two bloated and dissipated women, were brought before Mr Paget charged with hocussing and robbing a sailor named William Youll. The prosecutor, a respectable man, said he was carpenter of the ship Wallisch in the West India Dock. He had his supper last night at the Leopard Coffee-house. Soon after wards he met Williams in the street, and was taken by her to a house in Philip-street, St. George-in -the-East. He saw Fenning there. A glass of ale was handed to him, and directly he swallowed it he became insensible. When he came to himself he was very ill and had no coat and waist coat. Both had been removed from his person, while ho was insensible. They were new and worth £3. Salina Jennings, needlewoman, said she lived in the house and saw the robbery committed. While the prose cutor was insensible Fanning took off his coat, put it under her cloak, and followed the other prisoner. The sailor was then "chucked" out of the house by Mrs. Wallis, the landlady. In answer to questions by Mr. Paget, the wit ness said she had only been in the house ten days, She was a shirtmaker, and worked for a woman named Miller. She was not an unfortunate girl. She told the police-constable of the robbery directly he came on his beat. All the females in the house wanted to charge her with the rob bery. George Coleman, No. 310 H, stated that the last witness informed him of the robbery. Ho went to No. 36, Devon shire-street, St. George's-in-the—East, where he found both prisoners. He had not yet traced the clothes. There were a great many low brothels in Phillip.street. The one, No. 13, where Youll was hocussed and poisoned, was the worst of the lot. The sailor was not inebriated when he saw him, but perfectly collected. Sailors were continually hocussed and plundered in the horrible houses in Phillip-street. He and other police-constables were continually warning sailors. They were picked up by such wretches as the prisoners, hocussed and robbed. Mr Paget said it was a fearful state of things that sailors should be plundered so shamefully. He was surprised the girl Jennings had retained her honesty in such a vile and low place. He remanded the prisoner for a week. CLOSE OF THE SALMON FISHERIES.—SaImon fishing for England and Wales, except by angling, has now closed. The fence time commenced on the same day that partridges came in season—on September 1. The fishings in the estuary of the Severn have far exceeded anything ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant, taking the district from the mouth of the Wye up to Tewkesbury —i.e., as far as the tide extends. Above the tidal way, owing to the low state of the river fiom the long drought, the fishings have not been so good. The fishing in the tidal way is carried on by means of fixed engines (putts, and putchers), draught nets, and lave nets—small nets used at the end of poles. Ono occupier of putchers in the estuary took at one tide upwards of a ton weight of salmon in his putchers, and a draught net fisher took upwards of 50 fish at one draught, weighing together between 5 and 6 cwt. So plentiful were the fish that recently the skilled mechanics at some tin works at Lydney, in Gloucester shire, all left their work to take to fishing with the lave net. The quantity of fish in the river, which were pre vented going upwards for want of a " fresh" in the Severn, raised quite a furore of excitement along the banks of the river, The price at the water's edge at one time was as low as 4d. per lb., but this low rate soon induced a number of agents to arrive from different parts of the country, some as far off as Liverpool, when the price rose to 7d. A rail way runs on each side of the river between Gloucester and Bristol—viz., the South Wales on the one side, and Mid land on the other, so that fish could be conveniently de spatched to distant parts. The quantity of Severn salmon brought into Gloucester alone for many days was two tons a day. A good many flab have been destrcyed by some deleterious substance from chemical works near Glouces ter, which has been allowed to flow into the river. This and the extreme dryness of the season have deterred the fish from ascending, upwards, but there can be no doubt about the large increase of fish in the river this year, which may fairly be attributed to the operation of the Salmon Fisheries' Act, to carry out the provisions of which an association, formed many years ago at Worcester, has been actively at work. A BIG FREIGHT.--We noticed in a London paper lately that a steamer had carried from Southampton a two thousand ton ft eight, the largest ever carried from England. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steamer Golden City left Panama on the 25th inst. with twenty-two hun. drod tons of cargo and seven hundred tons of coal, besides carrying nearly seven hundred passengers, and having room for as many more.

Haswell ...19 0 Ships at marks The New Patent Office.--Choice of Site for it. (From the Law Times of to-day.) The block of buildings bounded by Southampton-build ings, Chancery-lane, C ursitor- street and Tooke's-court, and principally occupied by old and dilapidated houses, has been fixed upon by a select committee of the House of Commons as one of two preferable sites for the Patent-office, library and museum. The other adjoins the Chancery-lane block, and extends to the north side of the Roo.rd-ofiloo. A plain argument in favour of either site is the plan for concentrating the law courts between Carey-street and the Strand. The committee considers that the necessity for increased accom modation in respect of the Patent-offi3e and library is most urgent, as it appears, from evidence taken before the committee, that the want of such accommodation is so much felt as to prejudice the due administration of the patent law. The place now used in South ampton-buildings for the inspection of specifications and drawings is little better than a dark passage in which there ie barely standing room. The present library is of impaired utility, from its crowded state and want of suffi cient attendants. The books are stowed away in a number of small rooms, or closets, some on floors, some on tables, some in passages, and some on shelves ; while the store rooms are so overloaded that the floors have already sunk, and the surveyor of the Board of Works has refused to allow them to be loaded any more for fear they should break down. The museum, too, at Kensington is too much crowded for classification or inspection by visitors. The cost of the Chancery-lane block would be £205,000 ; the funds for the site and building are to be supplied from the surplus fees. It appears that the s urplus of receipts beyond expenditure, in the balance of accounts of the fees payable 3,004 up to the end o f by stamps, under the provisions of the Patent Law Amend ment Act 1852, has amount e d to £l7 a l c B c 6 o 2, n a tria h d thatave not the yetbeen e e surplus for he year 1863, of which th e upublished, is estimated to amount to £37,000, making up, to the end of last year, a total sur plus revenue of £210,044. This surplus has gone to in crease the public) revenue. The committee considers that the object of the fees was to provide for the proper working of the Act, and is of opinion that for the future the annual surplus revenue should be so applied to the extent Which may be necessary. An annual surplu s o f £37 , 00 0 re presents a pretty li ttle capital of £1,200,000, if suc h a su m were borrowed on Go vernment security. Th e w h o l e est i m ate for the L aw C ourts, including the site and a pp roac h es , is only a milli on and a half. We would propos©, th en , if it would not involv e any spoliation, that when th e P a t en t-office and L aw Courts schemes again come tog e th er un der the notice o f Parlia ment, the expediency of an amalgamation might be con sidered, to ease the pressure on the Chancery f un d s. No one can deny, when a single patent case this year has occupied thirty-three days sittings' of one of the Vice- Ohancellors, that the Patent-office and the Courts of Chan cery are under mutual obigations. Since the report of the Select Committee was made, a large portion of the Chancery-lane block toward s Cursitor t is incourse and o t houftdldeimna afa olitio e n ss fo a r a t j chamb ers.

An Interview with President Davis. - The Atlantic Ilfwithly, in an article in the September number, gives a narrative of Col. Jaques's interview with President Davis, which took place some time ago, exciting a good deal of curiosity at the time. The narrative is from the pen of J. R. Gilmora, a companion of Colonel Jaques. The substance of the communications between the Presi dent and the two negotiators was made public at the time, but the following extract will give a better idea of the pro posals discussed " Suppose," said. Cul. Jacquee, " the two Governments agree to something like this :—To go to the people with two propositions—say peace, with disunion and Southern inde pendence, as your proposition, and peace, with union, emancipation, no confiscation, and universal amnesty, as ours. Let the citizens of all the United States (as they existed before the war) vote Yes' or No' on these two propositions at a special election, within CO days. If a majority votes disunion, our Government to be bound by it, and to let you go in peace ; if a majority votes union, yours to be bound by it, and to stay in peace. The two Govern ments can contract in this way, and the people, though constitutionally unable to decide on peace or war, can elect which of the two propositions shall govern their rulers. Let Lee and Grant meanwhile agree to an armistice. This would sheath the sword ; and if once sheathed would never again be drawn by this generation." " The plan is altogether impracticable. If the South were only one State it might work ; but, as it is, if one Southern State objected to emancipation, it would nullify the whole thing, for you are aware the people of Virginia cannot vote slavery out of South Carolina, nor the people of South Carolina vote it out of Virginia." " But three-fourths of the States can amend the consti tution. Let it be done in that way, in any way, so that it he done by the people. I am not a statesman or a poli tician, and I do not know just now how such a plan could be carried out; but you get the idea—that the people shall decide the question." "That the majority shall decide it, you mean. We se ceded to rid ourselves of the rule of the majority, and this would subject us to it again." "But the majority must rule finally, either with bullets or ballots." "I am not so sure of that. Neither current events nor history show that the majority rules, or ever did rule. The contrary, I think, is true. Why, sir, the man who should go before the Southern people with such a proposi. tion, with any proposition which implied that the North was to have a voice in determining the domestic relations of the South, could not live here a day. He would be hanged to the first tree, without judge or jury." "Allow me to doubt that. I think it more likely ho would be hanged if he let the Southern people know the majority couldn't rule," I replied, smiling. "I have no fear of that," rejoined Mr. Davis, also smiling good humouredly. " I give you leave to proclaim it from every housetop in the South." "But, seriously, sir, you let the majority rule in a single State, why_not let it rule in the whole country ?" " Because the States are independent and sovereign, the country is not. It is only a Confederation of States; or rather it was; it is now two confederations." "Then we are not a people--we are only a political part nership ?" "That is all." " Your very name, sir, ' United States,' implies that," said Mr Benjamin. "But tell me, are the terms you have named —emancipation, no confiscation, and universal am nesty—the terms which Mr Lincoln authorised you to offer us ?" "No, sir; .I%lr Lincoln did not authorise me to offer you any terms. But I think both he and the Northern people, for the sake of peace, would assent to some such conditions." " They are very generous," replied Mr Davis, for the first time during the interview showing some angry feeling, " but amnesty applies to criminals. We have committed no crime. Confiscation is of no account unless you can enforce it, And emancipation 1 You have already emancipated nearly 2,000,000 of our slaves, and if you will take care of them you may emancipate the rest. I had a few when the war began. I was of some use to them ;. they never were of any to me. Against their will you emancipated' them, and you may emancipate' every negro in the Confederacy, but it will be free. We will govern ourselves. We will do it :if we have to see every Southern plantation sacked, and every Southern city in flames." "I see, Mr Davis, it is useless to continue this conver sation," I replied, and you will pardon us if we have seemed to press our views with too much pertinacity. We love the old flag, and that must be our apology for intruding upon you at all." As we were leaving the room Mr. Davis said, " Say to Mr. Lincoln from ma that I shall at any time be pleased to receive proposals for peace en the basis of our independence It will be useless to approach me with auy other." When we went out Mr, Benjamin called Judge Ould, who had been waiting during the whole interview—two hours at the other end or the hall, and we passed down the stairway together, as I put my arm within that of the judge, he said to me," Well, what is the result?" "No thing but war —war to the knife." "Ephraim is joined to his idols—let him alone," added the colonel, solamnly. Extensive Thefts from a Warebouse. At the Manchester City Police-court, on Thursday, Jas. Rodd and Jane Thomas were charged with committing ex tensive thefts from Messrs. Heugh, Balfour, and Co.'s ware house, Portland -street. Rodd had been an engineer in the employ of the firm ; Thomas had been in the Fame employ but she left and separated farm her husband, who is still engaged at the warehouse. She; has since been living with Rodd. The prosecutors have missed between £5OO and £6OO worth of stock from their warehouse during the last 15 or 16 months. In August, suspicion fell upon the prisoners ; Rodd was apprehended on the charge of inciting one of the young men in the warehouse to rob his employ era. In spector a handley went to Rodd's lodgings, in Hulme, and afterwards took the prisoner with him to 63, William-street, Ardwick, where Thomas lodged, and where Redd often visited her. Under the bed in that house ho found, in a box which Rodd said was his, but of which Thomas had the key, upwards of 800 Havana cigars. As many as 1,500 cigars had been missed from the warehouse. The partners imported cigars last autumn, which were divided between them. The residue of Mr Balfour's portion was taken, and the cigars found by Shandley resembled, in size and quality of tobacco, those remaining in Mr Heugh's possession, as proved by Mr Pierce, tobacconist, Ducie-buildings. Shand ley also found in Thomas's boxes, at Ardwick, some spools of cotton, a piece of calico, two pieces of muslin, and a vast number of other articles. Thomas said she knew nothing of these things, and turning to the other prisoner asked him to speak for her, and to prevent her getting into trouble; but he also said ho knew nothing about the things. They were taken into custody. Shandley also found the following letters which it was stated were in Rodd's writing, and ad dressed to Thomas, whilst she was at Halifax:— Manchester January 8, 1864. My dear Miss Dean,—l was verry glad to hear from you this morning & of your sail° journey but sorry that your could is so bad, I am happy to here that you have found an happitite & I would advise you to make the best of it & use it well now yea have it. You did not tell what sort of work you had, but du nut truble yourself about it as wether you work or not you shall never want wile I can help you. The best advise I can give you is to heat well sleep well & laugh well, leave dull care for those that like it. The time passes dull with me now I have not you but I look forward to better times & all else we whant that is each others coin pony. So cheare up my dear & think not of the past but as a dream. Their hath been but little said in this place about it yet but there is a detective watching me & all I do but you know that an old bird is not to be caught by chaff. The one speaketh kindly to me; he hath asked me if I knew where you are & hath promised me all sorts of things to Datal you but I will not take. A cornish lad is not so green as be caul by either bobby or old nick. I expect a botla er every day but 1 fear not now you are out of the way. Please to write on the same day as this was written & keep quiet yourself.—l am ever yours yours most affeationately, JOHN TRELAWNEY. My dear Jenny,—As soon as you receive this go to the station and enquire fora parcel addressed to Mrs Trelawney, Halifax, to be lett at the Halifax Station until called for, carriage paid. You had better take a cab as the parcel is heavy. There are 9 dozen of tents for those that want them. You can sell them at 5s per dozen, the cost 45 61, but the cost s ome thi ng i n sending. Sell them all. I have sent some cambrics for you. There is 18 yards of fine cam brics, also some seweing cotton. Do not let any one see that until you see me again, so you will take the cambric and cotton away. As I have not seen Mrs P. yet I shall send again praps to- morrow — you h a d b etter prepare to come at a short notice. She promised to see me on Tuesday. I hope she well. I trust you are well. Good by. J. T. These letters induced Shandley to pay a visit to Halifax to make further inquiries, and there he succeeded in tracing a large quantify of the missing property to the possession of the prisoner. He also ascertained from Mrs Walmsley, with whom Thomas had been lodging at Ard wick, that Rodd had frequently visited her, and that par cels had been brought there for her by a porter named Cousins, who said that he had received them from Mr Rodd at Heugh and Balfour's warehouse. One night Mrs Walmsley heard Rodd and Thomas tearing up something,.and the next morning she saw Thomas put some ends of calico, like the pied produced in Cour:, into the fire. It was ascertained that early in January the prisoner went to lodge with Mrs Gibson, near Halifax, and told her that she was a single woman, and her name was Mary Jane Dean, On Easter Sunday Rodd visited her there, said his name was Jas. Trelawney, and that he was married to the prisoner. At Whitsuntide he again came, and afterwards Thomas showed Mrs Gibson two doz en of calico, which she said he had brought her. Thomas went to Man chester several times. About four weeks ago Rodd again visited Thomas at Mrs. Gibson's, and brought a parcel containing white and grey calico, lace, and cotton spools. Mrs. Gibson bought a dozen of calico from the prisoner Thomas, and some of the cotton spools. On the 16th of August a parcel of goods arrived at Mrs Gibson's house. She had previously received a letter from Thomas, directing her to go to the railway station for the parcel which was to contain dresses and calico, the former to bo sold at 6s 6d per dress, and the latter at 61d per yard. The parcel con tains what was stated in the letter. Most of the articles which the prisoners had disposed off at Halifax had been re covered, and were produced in court. Rodd had told Mrs Gibson that he was acquainted with merchants and manu facturers, and got articles at cost price, and could sell them very cheap. It was stated that all the articles produced were such as the prosecutors kept in stock, and that they never sold any of them by retail. The ootton spools were supplied by Messrs. J. and J. Clarke, of Paisley, who never made the same lengths for any other house. The small piece of calico produced was manufactured by Messrs. Milnes and Co. of York-street, Manchester, who never made the same kind of articles for any other house except the prosecutors, and never sold any of it in this country but exported it to Madras. The muslin was supplied by Auld and Co. of Glasgow, who supplied no other firm in Manchester except the prosecutors with it. The tape traced to the prisoners and produced was such as was supplied by a Glasgow house only to the prosecutors. It was stated, however, that the cotton spools and tape must have been taken from a depart ment in which 130 females were employed, and that the stock was so large that a small quantity would not be missed. The prisoners were committed for trial, Rodd t ar stealing, and Thomas for receiving the goods knowing 'them to have been stolen. A GENUINE Al , rEE.-DINNER SPEECEL—At Co ventry, on Wedneaday night, Mr. Treherne ad dressed his constituents from the balcony of the King's Head Hotel, There was a very limited audience. The principal burden of his speech was the accomplishments of his parrot. He said he had been "accused before of teach ing his parrot blasphemy. Now, his parrot had not the strong feelings which he had, but he was an uncommon strong hand at biting, which he was not, but he could hit pretty hard, too, when put to the proof. (Laughter.) He was happy to say that that unfortunate parrot, which was brought up in blasphemy, now most distinctly repeated God save the Queen'—a sentiment which he was sure they would all re-echo. He (Mr. Treherne) was a great admirer of Garibaldi, and his parrot said ' Viva Garibaldi.' But he was happy to say that among his new accomplish , ments be had not forgotten that which nature taught V al , Damn the Whigs.' " Great laughter.)

Of late years such parts of the house as remained intact —namely, the study, the school room, and the kitchen—have been used for mercantile pur poses, and the part of it which faces Barbican has long been a dyer's shop. It is known as No. 17 in the street, and is situated a few paces from the north-east corner of Alders gate-street on the right hand, leading towards Finsbury square. It was here that Milton resided just prior to his becoming Latin secretary to Cromwell, and about the time of his reconciliation with his first wife, Mary Powell. He was then about 37 years of age. "About this time (1645)," wrote Dr. Johnson in his memoir of the poet, "he had taken a large house in Barbican for the reception of scholars —but the numerous relations of his wife, to whom he generously granted a refuge for a while,occupied his rooms. In time, however, they went away, and the house again, said his nephew Philips, now looked like a house of the Muses only,though the accession of scholars was not great." The schoolroom and study were a good way back:from the present line of the street, and were probably selected by ' Milton on that acconnt, as he had previously chosen a house in Aldersgate-street, as Johnson tells us, at the upper end of a passage, that he might avoid the noise. It is likely to have been a house situate in a garden, of which there were many handsome ones at that time in the parish of Cripplegate, in which it stood. All that remains of it now are detached portions of the oak panelling with which the schoolroom and study were lined, and remnants of latticed windows, the walls being nearly razed to the ground. In taking down the building a small coffin was found embedded in one of the walls, containing what is said to be the skeleton of a monkey in perfect preservation. By an agreeable coincidence, while the house of the poet of " Paradise Lost" is being destroyed in a utilitarian age, the venerable church of St. Giles, Cripplegate, hard by, in which his remains are interred, is undergoing a . partial res toration. It is a very venerable and interesting fabric, being upwards of 750 years old, having been founded in 109 Q by Alfrane, the first master of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and dedicated to St Giles, Abbot of Nimes, in France. Besides being the barialplace of Milton, it has a historic interest as the church in which the marriage of Oliver Cromwell was solemnised, and in which the remains of Fox, the martyr°. logist, Speed, and many other worthies are interred. There, too, the burial of Defoe is registered, although he was not interred in the church or the adjacent cemetery, but in the neighbourhood. The original structure was at first small, but was at different times greatly enlarged, until at length, in 1545, it was casually destroyed by fire. The present edi fice was then erected, and escaped the great fire of London in 1666. It is therefore among the oldest of the churches in the city of London, and is celebrated not more for the ashes of distinguished persons which repose within its walls as for itself, being a fine specimen of Gothic architec ture, richly adorned with monuments and many memorials of antiquity, furnished with a peal of not less than 14 of the finest bells, to which are attached a set of chimes which play every third:hour and vary every day. It has been recently decorated with some handsome stained glass windows, the gifts of old parishioners. In the adjacent cemetery are some fine remains of the old wall of London, and part of an ancient bastion. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Sept. 3.—Wind, at Noon, S.W.; moderate breeze and fine.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.) The mortality in London has shown no great fluctuation in the last three weeks. The number of deaths registered in the week that ended on Saturday was 1413, The health of that part of the population to which summer cholera is chiaiy fatal has improved ; for the deaths of young persons (under 20 years of age) declined from 981 in the first week of August, to 803 in the last. The average number of deaths in the thirty-fourth week of ten previous years, 1854-63, is, with a correction for increase of population, 1359. The mortality of last week therefore exceeds the estimated amount by 54 Deaths. Diarrhoea was returned in 190 cases in the week, the number in the previous week having been 242. Out of the 190 cases, 168 occurred to children under two years of age. Also 18 deaths (10 of children, 8 of adults) were returned as caused by " cholera." Twenty deaths from diarrhoea occurred in Mile-end Old Town and Poplar; and 17 in the Greenwich district, which includes Deptford and Woolwich. There were 74 deaths from measles in the week, which complaint was very fatal in the East districts, where 43 deaths were caused by it. Six deaths occurred from it in the St. Paul sub-district of St. George-in-the-East ; 5 in the sub-district of Poplar. On the 19th instant, at 39, Hanover-street (St. George, Hanover-square), a widow died, whose age as recorded in the register was 100 years. Another widow died at the age of 98. Last week the births of 992 boys and 923 girls, in all 1,915 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,844. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.910 inches. The mean daily reading was above 30in. on the last three days. The reading fell to 29 . 56 in. on Tuesday, and rose to 30.21 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 52 2 degrees, which is eight degrees below the average of the same week in forty-three years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was much below the average on every day, and on Tuesday the defect was nearly 11 degrees. The highest day temperature was 68.4 degrees on Sunday; the lowest night temperature was 33.1 deg. on Saturday. The range in the week was there fore 30,3 deg. The mean daily range was 21.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 8.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 73, complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind blew chiefly from the north. Rain fell in the week to the amount of 0.65 inch. More than half an inch fell on Tuesday. There were showers of hail and rain, accompanied with thunder, on Sunday. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 63.4 deg ; that of the lowest was 61.3 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending 27th August were 119, and the deaths were 106, in a popu lation of 254,808 (in 1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The numbers are kindly furnished by the Registrar General of Ireland. The deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Wetter, were 291 in the week ending 29th August, when the mean tem perature was 59.0 deg., that at Greenwich having been 59.6 deg. A GENTLEMAN ATTACKED BY BEES.—On Thurs. day, while Dr. Bonthron, of West Linton, Peebles. shire, was being driven along the road leading from gar veld to the railway station at Dolphinton, he was attacked by a swarm of bees, apparently newly "cast off," and so severely stung on the face and head as to be unable to attend to his duties for the present. His face and head be came dreadfully swollen and disfigured an hour or two afterwards, the eyes being firmly closed, and the face and throat greatly swollen and discoloured,while a considerable amount of fever has set in from the effects of the poison— in fact, but for the precautions taken, it is probable that the case would have proved fatal. The driver of the vehicle was also stung cn several parts of the head and neck, and only escaped further mischief by a timely use of whip and rein. The queen bee of the cast must have limn directly on Dr Bonthron's head, from the instantaneousness with which he was perfectly covered by the bees ; and it is sup posed that the motion of the vehicle nust have irritated the insects to use their stings. Upwards of 30 bee-stings wore taken out of Dr Bonthron's face, neck, and head.— Scotsmitan, AMERICAN IVIIEAT CROP.---The Cincinnati Ga. :ctte gives the summieg up of the wheat harvest" as follows : —Minnesota, an increase of 2,800,000 bushels ; Winconsin, one-third of an average crop; lowa, a de ficiency of about 1,100,030 bushels ; Illinois, two-thirds of an average crop, or a deficiency of 600,000 bushels.
