TWELVE O'CLOCK. The progress of the Money Market continues very favourable. There is a plentiful supply of capital afloat, and as the demand for accommoda• tion is moderate, the mercantile community have been enabled to negotiate short dated paper at 8 and S:4 per cent. The return issued last evening from the Bank of England is not unfavourable. The public balances show a good augmentation, while the other securi ties have not been increased to any considerable amount. The bullion, however, has been decreased, tut the reserve of notes show a lerge addition. Annexed are the particulars : Active Circulation .. Decrease ..

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Augustine Wm. Beauclerk Butler, a yoting man of gentlemanly appearance, was brought up by warrant, charged with obtaining MO by false pretences from John Wartou. The prosecutor said ho lived at 26. Cambridge-terrace, Clapham-road, and was a clerk, On the 17th of Aug. last he was seeking employment, when in consequence of a letter he received he went to No. 2, Pump-court, Temple, that evening, and there ho saw the prisoner, who repre sented himself to be the Rev. Augustine Beanderik But ler, that ho was rector of the Calvery Mission, and secretary to the St. James's College and Jerusalem Uni versity, and also a clergyman of the Church of Eng lnda. He told him (witness) he was in want of a clerk for the said society, and he (witness) offered his ser• vices in that capacity. No definite arrangement was come to on that occasion, but the next morning he went to the same place and there saw the prisoner. He then engaged himself to go as clerk at a f alary of £6O per annum. On 19,h Aug. he met the prisoner at the office of a solicitor at 27, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and after some c ,nversation he signed an agreement, which he (prisoner) also signed. At the same time he paid the prisoner £2O, as security for the monies belonging to the said society, which he (prisoner) said would be passing every day through his hands, The agreement stated that he was to be paid his salary quarterly, and that same evening he entered on the duties of the office. He continued in the service until the 14th of September. On Friday last, however, he told defendant that he was not satisfied with his situation, and he wished to leave; and at the same time asked that the money he had lodged as deposit might be returned to him, and the agreement destroyed. Defendant said he would con sider about it, and he left the office, 2, Pump-court, and he (witness) had not seen him again until the present moment. He only received one week's salary, and two weeks were now due to him. He (witness) parted with his money and signed the agreement, on the representations of the prisoner that he was a clergyman and secretary to the Cal very Mission, &e., named in the agreement. The prose cutor here produced the two letters written by the prisoner ; the first one directed him, to call at Pump-court respecting a situation, and the second one informed him that it was requisite he should attend and answer some questions, which, if found satisfactory, he would have to deposit £2O preparatory to his entering on the duties of his office. The agreement was r lso put in as evidence. The prisoner here begged that:the case might be adjourned in order that he might provide himself with legal assistance, as ho had only just been taken into custody. He should then be able to show that the charge was entirely without foundation, and that he had adhered to his agreement, If he had been content to wait, the £2O would have been duly returned to him. He would undertake that it should be paid to him to.day or to-morrow. Mr Vaughan—But you are charged with having falsely represented yourself to be a clergyman of the Church of England and connected with the Calvery Mission, upon which representation the money was advanced to you. Prisoner—l am aware of that, but I shall be able to meet the charge. Mr Vaughan—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Prisoner—No ; I prefer waiting till my solicitor is pre sent, and then the whole affair shall be explained. Vaughan—Then I will remand the case for a week, but you will be retained in custody. Prisoner—Oh, of course. The prisoner, who suffered from an impediment in his speech, and could speak with much difficulty, was then removed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TORTURING A HORSE.—William Harris, a coal dealer, living at 5, Boundary-row, Shoreditch, was charged be fore Mr. Knox, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly ill_treaticg and torturing a horse, by working it while iu an unfit state. Dobie, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said, about nine o'clock that morning he was in Pall Mall when he saw defendant pass with a horse attached to a van. On examining the horse he found that it was dead lame, the tendons of the near hind leg being drawn up in consequence of an old sprain. The horse was quite unfit for work. Mr Knox—There is no doubt about that. I have seen the horse. Dobie said the defendant had been to Pall-mall to deliver a quantity of coals. The defendant said he was the owner of the horse, and obliged to work it, as he had seven children. Mr Knox—lf you had 17 children that is no reason why you should torture the horse by working it in such a state. It is a scandal to work the horse at all. The defendant said the horse was a good one only a little stiff. Mr Knox—Are you willing to have the horse destroyed ? The defendant said he would agree to anything. Mr Knox—The officer of the society will go with you, and if the horse is destroyed there will be an end of the matter. THAMES. A WOULD BE ASSASSIN.—James Williams, a powerful young man, was charged betoro Mr Paget with threatening the life of Mr Levy, landlord of the Kettledrum, St George street. Complainant said that on the previous day the prisoner and another came into his house and ordered two glasses of brandy and water, which the prisoner objected to pay for, and said that he did not care a for any one. He also observed that he would gouge out the eye of any one who interfered with him. He became so violent that com• plainant was unable to carry on his business. After a little while ho got in the street, and with his clenched fiat broke a pane of glass, and exclaimed, " There you take that," and ran away. He came back again, when the com plainant told him ho did not wish to charge him if he went away quietly. Ile did so, but soon after returned. On seeing him, some one in the crowd exclaimed, " Take care, he has got a knife." Complainant then went in doors for a poker. He returned with it, and then he found him in custody. Mr Paget—Did you see the knife, Complainant—l did not, sir. A neighbour stated that ho saw a knife in the hand of the prisoner, and told complainant to bo careful. He tried to induce prisoner to leave. Prisoner, who was not sober, said that complainant had got his coat, and would not give it him as he had broken a pane of glass and owed for two glasses of brandy and water. He then told the prisoner to call the next meriting when ho was sober. Police-constable Andrews, H 33, produced the knife (a jack clasp knife, such as is used by sailors). Ile said he heard the cries of " Police—murder I " When near the prisoner he observed him sharpening a knife upon the kerb. When he saw witness he desisted, and put the knife in his pocket. Witness took him into custody. The prisoner was committed. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market o•day were moderato. For all qualities the demand ruled ,nactive at Monday's currency. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The trade for most descriptions was in a sluggish state, yet no material change took place in the quotations, Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. The trade, however, was dull, and prices had a downward ten dency. The malt trade was dull, at barely late rates.

A correspondent writes to a contemporary :—" On my returning from Malines, I find quoted in y our j ourna l —and I understand that this is the case with nearlythe whole round of the London press —a pa ssage from the l dance Beige relating to the rec en t C a holic kind Congressnclelenai M , alines, which throws a good d ea l o f li g h t on theof independence' adopted by t h a t j ournal. I find there state d that at the call of the illustrious French preacher, the Pere Felix—who for the last 11 years has preached the usual course of Lenten sermons before the eminently intellectual audience which gather around the pulpit of Notre Damo de Paris—' the assembly (of Malines) replied by cries, a hun dred times repeated, of " Vive Jesus Christ l'" One might indeed have believed oneself at a banquet,' adds the independent' scribe, at the moment when the health of the host is proposed,' &o. On the whole, the call to hail publicly the names of our Blessed Saviour, His Vicar on Earth, and the Catholic Church, uttered by the first sacred orator of France at the present time, is represented by the Independence to have been responded to in such a way as only fools or blackguards could do it. Now, sir, I was present at the scene, and to me it seemed one of the grandest I ever witnessed. I shall describe it for the benefit of your readers. At the end of one of his usual calm and clear discourses addressed to the Congress in its hall of meeting, the Pere Felix, who had been alluding to the insults inflicted on our Saviour by Renan and other recent writers, called for a special manifestation, on the part of the whole assembly, of its be lief and love with regard to the Divinity of Christ, His Vicar, and His Church, and invited the assembly to repeat after him the following acclamations, which he first pro nounced with outstretched hand, in a calm and firm tone of I voice, ' Vive Notre Signeu r Jesus Christ, vrai Dieu of vrai homme I' The whole of the 4,000 gentlemen gresent in the hall at once stood up and stretched their right hands like the speaker, and repeated in the same calm and earnest manner, and in measured time, as it were, those 4,000 voices speaking in unison, Vive Jesus Christ, Notre Seigneur, vrai Dieu et vrai homme l' In like manner were the other two acclamations repeated, much after the manner in which, from the earliest times, the members of the then truly great Christian assemblies, which are called the councils and synods of the Church, repeat the ' Acclama tions' set down in the rituals for the conclusion of their meetings. Far from appearing to my artistic appreciation to be the act of either fools or blackguards, the whole scene seemed to me not only enacted by sensible and earnest men, but as the grandest and most appropriate declaration of faith, like the taking of the oath of allegiance by a whole host; in fine, a kind of renewal of a Christian's baptismal vows. " I need hardly dwell after this on the way in which the ' independent' scribe speaks of my truly reverend friend, Father Hermann, and the manner in which he makes out that the five pirates of the Flowery Land, executed at New gate in February last, were made up of one Catholic and three Protestants, All who have the happiness of knowing Father Hermann, and M. Listz first of all, can testify to his eminent talents as a musician and as a sacred orator, just as they can attest to his constant humility, abnegation, and religious fulfilment of his sacred vocation. It is no credit to any one's judgment or honesty to speak of him otherwise. DRUNK FOR TWENTY YEARS.—An inquest WBB held on Wednesday in Cannon-street, St. GeorgVe-in- the- East, as to the death of Sarah Whalley, aged fifty-nine years. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been a desperate drunkard for no less than 20 years—it was her husband's opinion that she had not once been properly sober in all that timo—and had died suddenly on Monday morning. The medical testimony showed that all the organs of deceased were in a shccking state of disease, from her habits of drinking, and that death had immediately resulted from disease of the heart. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence. The Correctional Tribunal of Poitiers (Vienne) has just been occupied with the trial of a band of pretendbd sorcerers, composed of a woman. named Vignaud; Plcere Vignaud, her husband; Eugtsne Vignaud, his brother; and a relative of theirs named Prevost, on a charge of swindling a widow named Cail lebon out of upwards of 3,603 f. The female prisoner had, in 1861, undergone an imprisonment of 13 months for similar practices. Soon after her release she returned to Poitiers, where she made the acquaintance of the prose cutris, whom she persuaded that she (the prisoner) had the power of discovering a quantity of gold which the widow's husband had concealed in the house on his return from Spain. Unfortunately, for the dupe, she believed in the er.i3tence of this hidden treasure, for the (liscovery of which she had before applied to different SDIII - and she Lent a willing ear to the promises made. The woman Vignaud commenced her ororalions by taking the widow about to diff,.rent parts of the country, the latter baying, as a matter of course, to pay all the expenses. Holes were also dug by Vignaud in st,verhl ports of 11•. e house, and various incantations performed ov,r them. In a short time after, during the absence of the widow, and when her granddaughter only was present, she removed a stone from the back of the chimney and showed the girl, without, however, allowing her to come close to it, something having a yellowish appearance, which the sorceress said was part of the treasure. The girl in delight informed her grandmother of the fact, who unloosed her purse-strings more than ever. Some time after the announce • ment was made that the treasure had bcea found, and the prisoners, accompanied by the widow, went to Angouleme, carrying with them a box containing, according to the account of the woman Vignaud, about 20 pounds weight of gold. The object of the journey, all the expenses of which as a matter of course were defrayed by the victim, was to sell the precious metal. The police, however, having heard of the arrival of persons with such a large sum, fancied that a robbery had been committed, and insisted on having the box opened, when it was found to be filled with pieces of old iron. Madame Caillebon then returned to Poitiers, and gave information to the police. When before the Court the evidence given by the prosecutrix was so clear that the prisoners could not deny the facts, and were found guilty and condemned, the woman Vignaud as the princi pal to eighteen months' imprisonment ; her husband to four months, and the other two to two months each. The four were also condemned to a fine of 50f each and to alt the expenses. Aa officer-de-sante, named Allczard, was last week tried by the Court of Assizes of the Hante-Loire on a charge of attempting to murder a young man named Bonfils, residing at Auz)n ; Alle zard'a servant, a young woman named Mestre, was also charged as an accessory before the fact. It appeared from the indictment that the female prisoner entered All( zard's service in the summer of 1863, and that an improper con• nection was soon established between them. Among the persons who visited Allczard was a young man named Bonfils, whom the former soon begun to suspect of an amour with his servant, and to prevent any communica tion between them he locked the girl in her chamber every night, and sealed a strip of paper on her window, so that it could not be opened without his knowledge. These precau, tions, however, did not satisfy his jealousy. Under the pretext that robbers were always prowling about his premises during the night, he begged his neighbours to assist him in watching, which they did for several nights without making any discovery. Having thus paved the way for his design, he advised his servant to give Bonfils a rendezvous in his stable at 11. o'clock that night, under the pretence that she had something important to communicate. Bonfils went at the hour appointed, and was just entering the stable, when Allezard, who was watching at the window, fired at him twice and wonnded him severely in the leg and thigh. The wounded man's cries EOM brought the neighbours to his aid, and he explained ho had gone there to meet Allezard's servant by her own appointment. She and her master were according arrested. The girl at once confessed that she had made an appointment to meet Bonfils, but that her master had that night looked her up as usual. She protested that she had no suspicion of what her master intended to do. The evidence having clearly proved that the whole thing was a plot devised by Allezard to get rid of his supposed rival, the jury found him guilty of wilfully wounding, and the Court sentenced him to four years' imprisonment. The female was acquitted. At the Court of Assizes of the Aube a farm-servant, named Malley, has just been tried on a charge of having at Mou lins, on the 25th March last, murdered his wife by throwing her into the river Aube ; a married woman named Tonnelot, with whom ho had cohabited both before and after his mar riage, was also charged as an accomplice in the crime. The woman Malley having disappeared on the 25th March last, the prisoner, a man of very bad character, was immediately suspected if having murdered her, and several circumstances were se n discovered which left no doubt of his guilt. He was accordingly arrested, and, after vainly endeavouring to combat the evidence against him, at last confessed that at the instigatinn of the woman Tun °clot, he had induced his wife to go with him to set tome ;'riends at a neighbouring village, but that the woman Tonnelot met them near the river, and they then executed the design of drowning her. In consequence of this con ression the woman Tonnelot was arrested. The river was dragged, and the body of Malley's wife was found near the spot indicated by him. In court, the female prisoner de nied her guilt, and attempted to prove an alibi, but failed, while several witnesses deposed that they had seen her coming from tho direction of the river shortly after the time when the murder was committed. The jury found both prisoners guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and the court accordingly condemned them to hard labour for life. THE NEW CARDINAL,--There is a rumour abroad that one of the two cardinals' hats, rendered vacant by the death of Cardinal Savelli and Cardinal Bedini, will be conferred upon the Right Rev. Monsignore Manning, D.D Provost of Westminster, and that he will, as a prior step. be raised to the office of a bishop. The right rev. doctor was formerly archdeacon of the diocese of Chichester. He was one of the most prominent of,the High Church party, and an earnest coadjutor of the Bishop of Oxford in his Church work. The other cardinal's hat will, it is said, be conferred upon a French bishop who is a close personal friend of the Emperor. TIGER AND BUFFALO FIGHTS IN JAVA.—As 110 circus or arena of any kind is erected for the fetes, several men, armed with long spears, form a ring consisting of a vast concourse of eager spectators. The fight between the tiger and the buffalo is always considered the sensational scene of the day. The portable cage into which the tiger has been driven is placed in the centre of the ring, and that of his adversary exactly opposite, a few paces apart. When the doors are opened, the tiger, it he has lost heart by his long confinement, will immediately make a rush towards the circle of spectators, seeking for a gap through which he may make his escape—a vain attempt, for so formidable is the zone by which he is sur rounded, and so threatening are the glittering spear heads, that, with his tail between his hind legs, he not unfre quently retreats to his artificial cover, out of which he must again be driven in order to make him come to the scratch. If, as is generally the case, he at last turns in des peration from the pointed barrier of spears, and encounters the buffalo, infuriate t by pain inflicted by the points of the same weapons, the king of the jungle raises his head, waves his tail from side to side like a cat ready to pounce on its prey, and looks at his adversary as though the glare of his fieroe eyes were sufficient to inspire awe and dread. The audience at this crisis becomes breathless with excitement. From the Regent himself, to the little boy who gazes at the scene seated on his father's shoulder, all are fascinated by the same dread spectacle, and an ominous silence prevails. The defiant roar of the tiger is responded to by the deep bel lowing of the buffalo, which shakes the surrounding ground. The tiger, after stealthily advancing, stops to watch the movements of his foe; the buffalo, threatening his adversary with his formidable horns, stands ready to toss him in the air. But the cunning animal, by a kind of instinct, seems to understand the danger to which he is exposed, and crouching down, as though for a leap, while his enemy rushes forward to fling him up, he leaps over his head, and with the speed of lightning saddles himself all fours on his back. Beyond the reach of danger from his op ponent's horns, he now plants his teeth in the skin of the unfortunate buffalo, whose groans of rage and anguish are distinctly heard amid the loud shouts of the people. Should the tiger not succeed in taking his leap at the right moment, the buffalo throws him up into the air like a ball, and as he falls, stands prepared to goad him to death. If the tiger should come off victorious in the contest, he is carefully kept and tended, to display his prowess in another gala.— Life in Java, by W. B. .D'illnzeida. THE WHALE FISHING.—On Taesday the ateain ahip Polynia, Capt. Gravill, arrived at Dundee from the whale fishing. The Polynia comes home clean, after an absence of about five months. She reached the fishing ground in May, and continued to shift from one place to another up till two or three weeks ago, when she cleared the ice. During the whole time one whale only was sighted, and some very bad weather was experienced. Capt. Gravill reports having seen the Activer of Peterhead, which had no whales, but the oil of 657 seals. The Sir Colin Campbell, of Peterhead, was also spoken by the Polynia, and had at that time ono whale and about 3;io seals, which would yield about lti or 20 tuns of oil. The crew/ of the Polynia caught Z 2 brown bears, some of which were of considerable size. Two have been brought home alive, and the others have been preserved for their hides. Captain Gravill states that he scarcely ever saw worse weather, and never during the many years he has gone to the whale fish. ing did he move about so much and meet with so little sue cess.—.Dundee A , lvertiser. " France," says the Kreutz Zeitang of Berlin, "did last month take some alight step for Denmark, but only out cf complaisance for England• The proceeding, besides, had no official character, and consisted only in charging in an unofficial manner the French ambassador at Beilin to recommend moderation towards Denmark in the conversations which he should have with Count de Bite mark and M. de Thiele.

A large proportion of the articles we eat, drink, and wear are of foreign growth or manufacture, and for these we are now required to pay enormous prices in our currency, both on account of the high tariff and the high price of gold as compared with paper money.

Before the war, the sum now paid for duty alone on many a ticles would have sufficed for their entire purchase, including the duties then paid. We find that woollen cloths, woollen shawls, and all manufactures of wool of every description, which are not otherwise provided for, pay a duty of 21 cents per lb, and in addition thereto 40 per cent ad valorem; but if such goods are valued at over 2 dots. per sqaare yard they must pay in addition to the above five per cent.

Congress imposed heavy taxes on articles of luxury. both of home and foreign manufacture. Liquors, and other articles, the importation of which in most cases is un necessary, and tends only to impoverish the country with out any compensating advantages, are subject to the highest duties. Brandy of first proof is to pay an import duty of 2 dols. 50e per gallon, and higher proofs to pay in proportion; while other spirits, made from grain, &c., are to pay, for first proof, 2 dols. per gallon ; cordials, &C./ pay 2 dols, per gallon ; wines, valued at not over 50 cents per gallon, 20 cents per gallon, and in addition 25 per cent ; valued at over 50 cents and not over 1 dol. per gal lon, 50 cents per gallon and 25 per cent; valued at over 1 del. per gallon, 1 del. per gallon and 25 per cent ad vale rem ; other spirituous liquors, 100 per cent, ; ale, porter, aad beer, in bottles, 35 cents per gallo n ; ot h erw i se t h an in bottles, 20 cents per gallon; cigars of all kinds valued at 15 dols or less per 1,000, 75 cents per lb and 20 per cent. valued at over 15 dols and not over 40 dols per 1,000, 1 dol 25c per lb and 30 per cent. ; valued at over 30 dol and not over 45 dols per 1,000, 2 dols per lb and 50 per cent.; valued at over 45 dols per 1,000, 3 dols per lb and 60 per cent,; snuff 50 cents per lb ; tobacco in leaf 35 cents per lb, and manufactured 50 cents per lb ; almonds 6 cents per lb, s stones, and when shelled 10 cents per lb, opium 2 d o l s 50 c per lb , and when prepared for smoking 1 00 per 7 erc s p.ent.e ; rcent.pipes, ;dia monds m eer meer schaum, he u n n d & o o. t , h 1 e r pc d o lr precious per gros s, nes, not set, 10 p er cent. an ia Iron in its various forms is subject to many different rates of duty. Steel is also pretty heavily taxed. On glass, too, wo find a number of different rates. Those interested in these articles will find it more profitable to consult the law in its details than to obtain their information from a news paper article, necessarily limited. Gutta percha pays 40 per cent. Carpets are used in every family, and when our readers glance at the following high rates of duty they will readily discern how it is that they now command such enor mous high prices. Wilton, Saxony, and Aubusson, Ax minster, patent velvet, and tapestry, velvet carpets, Brus sels carpets wrought by the Jacquard machine, and all medallion or whole carpets, valued at 1 dol 25c or under per square yard, 70c per square yard ; valued at over 1 del 25c per square yard, 833 per square yard; ingrain and three-ply carpets, 40c per square yard. Watches of gold or silver, of which we formerly imported large numbers from England, Switzerland, and oth r countries, are now to pay 25 per cent. ad valorem; palm leaf foes pay lc each; soap, fancy, perfumed, honey, transparent, and all descriptions of toilet and shaving soap, 10c per lb and 25 per cent ; soap, not otherwise provided for, lc per lb, and in additirn thereto ;30 per cent. ; starch made of potatoes or corn, lc per lb and 20 per cent. ; starch made of rice or any other material, 3o per lb and 20 per cent. If any of our readers not familiar with finances has glanced over the above statistics, and still fails to see why some of the articles of most universal consumption command the prices that they do, we will endeavour to make the matter more clear by taking an example. Take the ar ticle of spool cotton, which every lady in the land uses to greater or less extent. Each consumer has been surprised to find the spools which formerly cost four cents now com• mending from 15 to 20. The value of a dozen spools in England is, we believe, about 2s or say 48 cents of our gold currency. Now if gold is valued at 255 in comparison with paper money we find that if paid for in our money a dozen would cost in England over 1 dol. 22c, The duty on ttis dozen, when brought into the United States, is about 27 cents more in gold, or about 69 cents in currency, making the cost to the importer in the United States, exclusive of charges, freight, commission, & - c. about 1 dol. Ole. or about 16 cents per spool. The new tariff law provides that all goods which may be in the public stores or bonded warehouses on the day the act welt into effect shall be subj , 33t to no other duty upon the entry thereof for cons ump ti o n than if the same were imported respectively after that day. It also defines what is meant by the " value" of goods. It is to be the actual value of such goods on shipboard at the last place of shipment to the United States, and is to be ascertained by adding to the vales of such goods at the place of growth, production, or manufacture, the cost of transportation, shipment, and trans-shipment, with all the expenses included, from the andall paid place of growth, produ c ti on, or manu facture, whether by land or water, to the ves se l i n w hi c h shipment is made to the United States, the val ue o f the sac k, box, or covering of any kind in which such goods are con t a ined, commission at the usual rate, in no case les s th an 2i p e r cent., ibmropkoerrtaagnet, pro vision aallr incurred export for duties, togetherplacing i withsaid goods on shipboard, h a i n p d b charges aar d , other proper charges specified by law. An ha regard to goods whi c h pay a speci fi c duty is the following :—" That on and after January 1, 1865, the in voices of all goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States shall be made out in the weights or measures developed. of the country or place from which the importations shall be made, and shall contain a true statement of the actual weights or measures of such goods, wares, and merchandise, without any respect to the weights or measures of the g by i n gold, while all other goods are United States.

In the morning the lieutenant found that the four Arabs under the prisoner's orders had deserted, an d at 5 o'clock he saw 200 Arabs drawn up to oppose his passage. The prisoner Mahomed immediately galloped off to j. , in them, threw off his French uniform cloak, and led the rebels to attack the detachment ho bad just deserted. Lieut. Marsot formed his handful of men into a square and repelled the aggressors, Ile then resumed his march, but WAS harrassed for seven hours by the EArabs, who at last retired. It appears that the prisoner, finding his treachery frustrated by the bravery of the detachment, rode on to Tiaret, and informed the military authorities of Lieutenant Marsot's danger. A etrong detachment was instantly sent to his aid, and met him at come distance from Tiaret. The prisoner was then placed under arrest and ordered for trial. In court the prisoner pretended that he bad left the detachment to obtain succour from Tiaret, and had not joined the rebels, but the soldiers of the detachment proved that he was the foremost among their aszailants, and that they saw him fire at them repeatedly. The Tribunal unanimously declared the priso ner guilty, and sentenced hint to be shot, after previously undergoing military degradation, '-, b't - 0 execution is to take place at Masora. The returns which have been issued from the Army Medi cal Oepartment relating to the health of the army in 1862, are not quite complete in so far as regards the European regiments in India in that year. The general abstracts, however, include all but one regiment, and present this very encouraging result: —Admissions into hospital, 1,736 per 1,000 of mean strength; deaths, 25 . 63 per 1,000, the deaths being nearly a third under the proportion of 1861. The mortality in the Madras Presidency was 20 83 per 1,000; Bombay, 24.60; and Bengal (where the majority of the troops are quartered), 27.55, the Bengal mor tality of 1860 and 1861 having averaged 42'27. These statements include the deaths of invalids on their passage home, or while waiting their discharge in Eng land. There were no less than 96 cases of sunstroke, or heat apoplexy, and 30 terminated fatally. A death from starvation is recorded, tlikt of a corporal of the 54th Regi ment, who deset ted, taking with him some public money, and who, after living on berries in the woods for some time, was found starved and dying. The number of invali Is sent tome in the year for discharge or change of climate was 1,79:5, being 28.17 p r I,COO of mean strength. Tne return of deaths at each age shows a much more rapidly progres • sive increase of mortality in India with the advance of age than is usual in temperate climates, the mortality at the ages 35-39 being double that at the ages 20-24; the practical bearing of these results upon the question of the reliefs of regiments in India must be obvious. In 1862 the deaths from spasmodic cholera in Bengal were only a third of the ratio of 1861, but it still remains the chief cause of mortality in this presidency, and its fatal character appears to have undergone no modification, the proportion of deaths to cases having still been 1 in 1.61. Passing now to the European troops employed in China in 1862, we find an average strength of 3,511, admissions into hospital 1,847 per 1,000, and deaths no less than 99.12, literally decimating the force. This is due chiefly to the returns from North China; in South China the ratio was 2878. At Shanghai, where the average strength was 1,362, the deaths were 163 per 1,000, a fearful rate of mortality, due in nearly equal proportions to epidemic cholera and to dysentery and diarrhoea. There was a large increase of the force there just at the commeneemeet of the usual sickly season, and Shang hai ab.unds in all the elements of unhealthiness. The army surgeons are not sanguine of its ever proving a healthy sta tion for European troops. The ravages of cholera were not confined to the country round Shanghai, but extended along the north of China, crossing over to Manchuria and reach ing down to Japan. It is estimated on good authority that before Shanghai and Scon-Kiang, distant some 40 miles, about an eighth of the Chinese population died from cho lera in 1862. With relation, next, to New Zealand, we learn that the average strength was 5,482, the admissions into hospital only 546 per 1,000, the deaths 9'lo. Mr Mouat, Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, notices the com parative absence of some diseases, as venereal and malari ous fever, and the entire absence of othors, such as smallpox and cholera. He considers that with improvements (much required) in barracks, a proper check upon intern perance, and an allowance of four consecutive nights in bed, the mortality might be reduced one half. In Aus tralia the average strength was 1,000, the admissions into hospital 683, and the deaths 22. This is a considerable in crease in the mortality ; it occurred chiefly in tubercular diseases, which were three times as fatal as usual. This probably arose from the circumstance that when the 12th and 40th Regiments embarked for service in New Zealand, all the weakly and delicate men were transferred to the wings of these corps, which were left far service in Aus tralia. But making every allowance for this, the number of cases of sickness and death is still so high that it would seem to indicate that the Australian climate is not well suited to persons having a tendency to tubercular disease. In Ceylon the force was below 1,000; the returns show a considerable decrease in the admissions into hospital, but the deaths continued above nineteen per 1,000 Here also tubercular diseases were a source of con siderable mortality, but were comparatively rare among the native troops. Dr Dane, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, reports that a complete change in the construe- tion of the buildings occupied by the European soldier will have to be made before he can be placed in a fair position to contend against the influence of the climate. In Mau ritius the deaths rose to nearly 44 per 1,000, owing to the prevalence of epidemic cholera ; the mortality from it amounted to lin 2.64 cases. The chief cause of the in validing, which was much above the average of the three preceding years, was pulmonary disease. At the Cape of Good Hope the average strength was 4,519, the mortality 9 . 73 per 1,000, just 1 per 1,000 above that of the army at home in the same year; more than 20 men per 1,000 were in hospital for diseases directly resulting from intemper ate& From the West Indies the mortality return from Jamaica, 12.81 per 1,030 is favourable, but in the Windward and Leeward command the deaths were 13'10 per 1,000, which is considerably higher than in the pre iious year; the increase was owing to an outbreak of yellow fever at Bar • badoee. Steps have been taken for remedying various sanitary defects in the barracks. From Canada the return is favourable—admissions into hospital 657 per 1,000, and deaths 8 . 35, and this notwithstanding that upwards of half the troops had to travel into Canada in the depth of winter, and that the sudden accession caused for a time a considerable degree of overcrowding. The admission into hospital were chiefly from venereal disease or the conse quence of intemperance. The former is more prevalent in the summer, owing to its importation by sailors on the open ing of the navigation. It is suggested that they be examined by the health officer before being allowed to land. At Malta this class of disease was reduced in the year by more than half owing to the adoption of a system of police surveillance of the loose women. At Gibraltar the sickness and mortality were lower than in the army at home, but continued fevers were in excess of the average. They are attributed to the continuance of imperfect drainage, overcrowding., intemper ance, and exposure to the heat of the sun on the public works. Mr Payntor, Deputy Inspector-General of Hos pitals, believes intemperance to have been the source of two 'thirds of the diseases which came under treatment, In the whole army at home and abroad in the 3 ear 1862 the admissions into hospital amounted to 1,165 per 1,000 of mean strength, the deaths to 16'38, and the discharges by invaliding to 26.13. The number constantly non-effective by reason of sickness was nearly 60 (49 . 77) per 1,000, ex•• eluding Bengal, from which there is no return.

GREAT MEN'S ETES..—" oae might—one now and then can," says John Foster in his Diary, " throw one's whole soul through one's eyes in a single glance." Great men, especially great commanders, generally possess this remarkable power, which, like every bodily or spiritual faculty, becomes all the stronger from its frequent use. " In the eyes of certain persons there is something sublime, which beams and exacts reverence. This sublimity is the and exacts reverence. This sublimity is the concealed power of raising themselves above others, which is not the wretched effect of constraint, but primitive essence. Each one finds himself obliged to submit to this secret power, without knowing why, as soon as he perceives that look, implanted by nature to inspire reverence, shining in the eye. Those who possess this natural sovereign essence rule as lords or lions among men by native privilege, with heart ' and tongue conquering all."—Once a Week. 4 L JIEARTLESS CONDUCT OF A WlFE.—Daring an investigation yesterday into the death of Mr Stephens, a rigger, it transpired that this wife had stripped the dead body of all the clothes wh!ch he wore, and had pawned them for drink I EAST OF ENGLAND BANK.—The liquidators are making great progress in the collection of the overdrawn accounts of this bank, and in the conversion of the other assets of the company, so that a first dividend of 103 in the pound is expected to be paid in a few weeks.
