WTI MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued firmness prevails in the discount market, where 38 per cent. is the general charge for first class three montlis' bills, with exceptional trans actions at 31 per cent. The demand has been greatly stimulated by the settlement of the account in consols. A further sum of £13,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. To-morrow (the Pith) has been appointed by the committee of the Stock Exchange for a special set tlement in the shares of the South Kensington Hotel Company, but trans7,ctions in them are not to be recorded in the official lists. The directors of the Bank of Egypt have issued their report and statement of accounts to be pre sented at the forthcoming half-yearly meeting. Tne net profits for the six months just concluded amount to £13,895, and the usual dividend, viz., at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, is proposed. Favourable mention is made of the name of Slr. Philip Anstruther, the late deputy chairman of the Board, whose death is lamented, and whose services particularly his recent mission to Egypt to investi gate the affairs of the bank, are highly eulogised. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862. Great Eastern G rea t Western Lancashire and Yorkshire.. Great Northern .. South- Western N orth-Western Midland North Eastern 57,347 54.734 Brighton youth-Eastern 30,197 32,133 Scottish North-Eastern 6,200 5,633 Great Western of Canada .. .. 8,515 8,285 These returns continue in several instances to be of an unsatisfactory character compared with those of the same period of last year. On the Great Western there is a decrease of £3,642, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £873, on the South Western of £1,624, on the Brighton of £9Bl, on the South Eastern of £1,936, while the Great Eastern shows an increase of £279, the Great Northern of £l3, the North Western of £1,497, the Midland of £827, the North Eastern of £2,613, and the Great Western of Canada of £230. The biddings for £400,000 in bills on India took place to day at the Bank of England, the propor tions allotted being —to Calcutta, £220,000; to Bombay, £160,000; and to Madras, £20,000. The declared minimum price was, as on the last occa sion, ls. 114 d. per rupee on Calcutta, and ls. on Bombay and Madras, and the applications within the limits amounted to £1,980,000. Tenders on Calcutta at ls. 1143. will receive about 11 per cent.; on Bombay, at ls. 111 d., above 32 per cent., and all above these prices in full. On Madras all will receive in full. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 850. to 67f. 92c. Rather firm. The English Stock Market is not quite so firm as at the close of yesterday afternoon, a decline of k per cent. having been produced by sales in connec tion with the settlement. Consols are 921 93 for money, and 938 I for the September account. The New Threes and Reduced are 931 ; India 5 per Cent., 1081 1 ; Exchequer Bills, ls. dis. to 2s. prem. ; Long Annuities, 158; Bank Stock is marked 237 f. There is not quite so much buoyancy in the Foreign Market to-day, and business is quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 671 ; do. Conso lides, 481 8 7 Mexican, 361 37; Spanish Passive, 328,; do. Certificates, 12k ; Greek, 321 e ; do. Coupons, 151 4 ; Italian, 71 k ; Russian, 929 1. The Confederate Loan has further risen to 23 21 dis., showing a recovery of about 11 per cent. from the lowest price obtained yesterday. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, but a firmer tone has prevailed. Great Eastern, Great Northern A Stock, Laucash're and Yorkshire, and North Western each advanced 10s., while Great Western were improved se. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there s little change to record in prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inae pre, without material alteration to report in value.

Allow roe to state that such is not the fact, for the plaintiff has not occupied a farm under Lord Stamford for the last six years, and the reason for his leaving at that time had consequently nothing what. ever to do with the present case." REMOVAL OF THE BLACKFRIARE STEAMBO A T PIER.-- I' he Thames Conservancy Committee have issued a pri n t e d no ti ce th a t with the close of the p resent week, consequent on the commencement of the works for th e new Blackf r i ars-bridge, the steam b oa t pier, w hi c h has e xisted for so many years on the eastern s id e o f Blackfriars bridge, will be removed. For the future, therefore, the steamboats which have been in the habit of calling at this pier will use the Paul's Wharf Pier. The public will be much inconvenienced by the removal of this pier, but it is understood that on the completion of the new bridge the City authorities intend erecting a very handsome and com modious pier by its side, fbr the accommodation of the public. 1231 2i 109 8 THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) SINGULAR CASE IN BANKRUPTCY. —IN RE MARTIN. This bankrupt was a provision dealer, at Greenwich, and came up to pass his last examination, and for discharge. Mr. Drew, of Basinghall-street, appeared to support. There was a former commission against the bankrupt in 1845, when he was adjourned sine die, without protection, and he was without his certificate up to the time of the pre sent bankruptcy, when the learned Commissioner refused to proceed until the bankrupt had passed his examination, and obtained his certificate under the bankruptcy of 1845. Mr. Drew subsequently obtained leave for the bankrupt to apply to pass, which he subsequently did, and obtained a certificate from Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, which was produced, and his Honour now allowed the bankrupt to pas under the present bankruptcy, and granted the order o: discharge. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) RE THE ASPHALTUM COMPANY (LIMITED)-A NOVEL CASE In this matter two petitions had been presented, one for the voluntary and one for the compulsory winding-up the affiirs of this company. The petition in support of the voluntary winding-up was presented by Mc. G. Wilson, of Montpelier-road, Brighton, the holder of 10,000 shares of £1 each. The company was formed in January, 1857, with a proposed capital of £lOO,OOO, and on the 10th day of May last year a resolution was come to for the voluntary winding-up of the company, and liquidators were appointed, and have continued to act ; but a petition was now pre sented by Mr. Shrimpton to bring the matter into court under the compulsory causes. Mr. Linklater appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Wilson ; Mr, Laurence, for the liquidators; and Mr. Roxburgh, for Mr. Shrimpton, _ . . Mr Roxburgh opened the case, objecting to the con- tinuance of the proceedings under the voluntary winding up, and proposed to examine Mr. 'Wilson (of the firm of Wil son, Gculd, and Co., oil and tallow brokers) and one of the liquidators, Mr. Wilson was accordingly examined at some length, and said that he was brother to the petitioner, and brother in-law to Mr. Marshall, a co-liquidator of the estate. He was a shareholder to the extent of 10,000 shares, 1,500 were his own and all paid up, the remainder he held in trust for his firm for a debt. Mr. Roxburgh asked what debts. Mt. Lawrence said he should advise Mr. Wilson not to answer the question- It could not be allowed, and a wit ness who was called as a shareholder was not bound to answer questions as to the private transactions of a firm with which he was connected. Mr. Roxburgh said ihat the witness was not called as a shareholder but as a liquidator, and his (Mr, Roxburgh's) object was to show that the affairs should no longer remain in their hands. Mr, Wilson said he should decline to reply, for the reason that the transaction had nothing to do with the Company. Mr. Roxburgh asked for his Honour's decision, His Honour—l can't commit him. Tee question was therefore unanswered and the exami nation was continued a short tim-, when a very confused discussion took place, Mr. Linklater stating that creditors to the amount of £26,000 were in favout of the voluntary winding up. His Honour adjourned the case. Mr. Roxburgh applied for Mr. Shrimpton's petition to ce heard, so that an appeal might be made if necessary, but his Honour said he should adjourn that Mr. Linklater might have an opportunity of proceeding.

CHARGE OF ROBBING THE CLERGY OF TRINITY, MARYLEBONE.—Thos. Edmonds, and Catherine Edmonds, lately in the service of the curates of Trinity, Marylebone, at the residence-house, 10, Portland•road, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on suspicion of stealing three £5 Bank of England notes, the property of the Rev. Henry Bolland, curate of Trinity Church, Marylebone, and others. Mr. Maude prosecuted, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence. The Rev. Henry Bolland, said—The prisoners have been in the service of the clergy of Trinity, Marylebone, at the residence-house, 10, Portland-road, but owing to circum stances which transpired they were summarily dismissed on Monday last. At 10 o'clock that morning I had a packet in the library drawer in my sitting room, which contained some bank notes. About four u'clock in the afternoon, in consequence of what one of my friends living in the house informed me, I went to my drawer and found the packet had been handled, and a bank note which had been cut in two left, but three otters taken away and 1 believe also a sovereign. The male prisoner had been in the room in the course or the morning, and I had been out for a time. When I discovered my loss the prisoner had left the house. Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the witness, The Rev. Alfred Brown, curate of All Souls, and also residing at 6, Portland-road, said—For some weeks past I have kept a pocket book with notes in my drawer, but for the last 10 days only one note. On Saturday last I put into the drawer a Russian leather purse with gold in it— L 2 I can swear to. I also put with the purse two envelopes, one containing a £5 note and a sovereign, and the other four half-sovereigns. At half-past 4 o'clock on Monday I went to the drawer, and the first thing I took up was the purse, which was then empty. I then looked at the pocket book which I had placed under the purse, and found one £5 note, but the envelopes had not been touched, By Mr. Lewis—The only other person in the house was a young vk oman who assisted the prisoners. The prisoners were then charged with receiving money from the different gentlemen to settle their accounts and keeping the money, and handing the gentlemen forged re ceipts for the same. Mr. Maude asked that the cass might be dealt summarily with, as some of the clergymen wished to leave town, Mr. Tyr whitt said it was evident the prisoners had been carrying on a flagrant system of misappropriation. He would remand the prisoners, and would take one bail in £lO for the woman's appearance. .STRANGE REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Edward Blackstone, a tell stout man, of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing a volume of Tennyeon's Poems from the shop of Mr. Basil Montagu Pickering, bookseller, Piccadilly. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlboreuela-street, appeared for the prisoner. It appears that Mr. Pickering called upon Mr. Nathaniel Huett, bookseller, of Prince's-street, Coventry-street, a few days ago, and while in Mr. Huett's shop, observed the volume lying on the counter. Believing it to be the same he had bound for a customer, and lett on his counter for show, he on his return home searched and missed the book. He then went back to Mr. Uuett, who told him that he had bought the book of the prisoner for 65., and with Mr. Huett's assistance and that of Sergeant Foinett, 14 C, the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. Sayer said he was instructed that the prisoner was not at times in his right mind. He had once held a high position in the City, having been on the Stock Exchange and possessed of thousands, but he had suffered a sad reverse of fortune, and this preyed upon his mind. Mr. Hutt said he believed the prisoner perfectly well knew what he was aboat, and booksellers were peculiarly liable to robberies of the kind. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for two months' with hard labour, A SYSTEMATIC THlEF.—Charles Perfitt, who described himself as a book hawker, was charged with stealing a large sponge of the value of 12s. from the shop of Messrs. Newton and Cook, sponge and brush merchants, 62, Princes-street, St. James's, two brass steam taps, from the shop of Mr. Addis, wholesale ironmonger, Leicester-street, Leicester-square ; and with bein g in possession of a jar of pickles, and another of jam, believed to have been stolen in. the neighbourhood. A person in the employ of Mr. Smith , gunmaker, next door to Messrs. Newton and Cooks, observed the prisoner while passing Mr. Smith's window, endeavouring to secrete the sponge under his c..mt. Thinking all was not right, he gave information to Mr. Mason, the manager at Messrs. Newton & Cook's, and that gentleman went after the prisoner and brought him back, with the sponge in his pos session; and, on James Billett, 329 11, being called in, he found in the prisoner's possession the brass taps, which were identified as Mr. Addis's property, and of the value of 135., and the other articles. The prisoner, who is well known to the police, was com mitted for trial. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to number, but their general quality was inferior. The few prime breeds on offer sold slowly, at about previous rates, the top quotation being 4s 101 b per 81b. Inferior stock was very dull, at barely stationary prices. The show of sheep was moderate. Downs and half-breds were in fair request, at full currencies, viz., 4s 8d to 5s per 81b. ; but interior sheep ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to Monday. Lambs were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at late quotations. There was a large supply of calves in the market, and the veal trade was very dull. The most infe rior calves sold as low as 3s per 81b. Pigs and milch cows moved off heavily, at late rates. Per Sib. to sink the offal. HAY MARK ZTS.

The Gieat Britain was a good example of the strength and power of resistance possessed b y iron vessels; for, although she lay stranded in Dandruin with g superiorityre ter Bay for nearly 12 months, and subjected to a severe strain, she was ultimately drawn off in safety, and found capable of efficient repair. Mr. Vernon next drew attention to the importance of iron in the construction of the screw colliers which had recently come into use, and which were fur nished with a chamber throughout the entire bottom of the hull for the carrying of water ballast, which could be pumped in and out, and which was a most economical sub stitute for ordinary ballast, He then descried the uses of iron for flat-bottomed boats intended for river na-vigation, and particularly the system called " Bourne's Indian river train," employed on the Ganges sad Indus, where by convex b ows and concave sterns an art i cu l a t e d train was formed by barges. It was not, however, found to or af answer eht s rhe o se v puur e see l es l vt ofu s nat e it x nhe p aga e l d c ai t n e das d rut , arisen aneodnoc of fw n t ri s hro e oal q nt o u fa e i ndn thevc e a nh o es t ae constructionghe re e ow c g u a r as r p e p n at ob taineds of ships. Steel would bear a strain of 40 tons per inch, and the best iron only 20 tons. In practice, however it was not considered advisabl e t o reduce the proportion ' of steel lower than two thirds the weight of the iron. There was no ob. jection in a mechanical point of view to steel when it came up to the professed standard, but in a commercial point of view steel was found to be much more costly. The use of steel was not of course accompanied by any increased in ternal, capacity. Mr. Vernon states that the objection to iron ships, on the ground of fouling at the bottom, and the derangement of the compass es b y the local metallic' attrac tion, might be gradually overcome by improved inventions for coating, and by improved knowledge of appliances to correct the deviation, Some discussion followed, after which a vote of thanks was awarded to Mr. Vernon.

GENERAL M'CLELLAN.—An admirable life-size model of this distinguished General, late commander-in chief _af the Federal army, in military costume, has, within the last few days, been added to Madame Tussaud's Ex hibition, in Baker-street, and we doubt not but that most of the Americans now resid ng in this country will avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to pay a visit to the historiQal gallery on such an interesting occa sion, where likewise is to be seen a model of President Lincoln, WESTMINSTER. TAVERNKEEPERS, AND SINGULAR NOTION OF A Ctrs- TOMER.—Mr. Benjamin Sims, of 11, Brunswick-street Clerkenwell, coachbuilder, was charged with wilfully break ing a drinking glass, value 6d., at the hous9. of Mr. Foster , the Crown Tavern, Tufton-street, Westminster. John Elbey, a plumber, said he was in the house this morning at about 7 o'clock, when he heard a glass of porter called for by the defendant, who then said he would test it. Immediately after which he heard a smash, and found the glass broken. He heard defendant admit that he had broken it. He was not sober at the time. A policeman proved that he was called to take defendant and locked him up. Mr. Am Id—Did he give his name and address? Policeman—Yes ; correctly, I believe. Mr. Arnold—Then why lock him up. You ought not to have done that. Mr. Foster—He is a perfect stranger to me. Mr. Arnold—He gave his name and address, and as there is nothing to show that this was not an accident, he had no right to be locked up. Inspector Humphreys, of the B Division —He admitted to me that he had been guilty of wilful damage under pecu liar circumstances. Mr. Arnold--That is a different matter. What did he say ? Inspector Humphreys—On the charge being made, he said he considered he had a right to break the glass, and although recommended to pay the amount of damage, he positively refused, maintaining that he had done no wrong. Mr. Arnold—What right could he possibly have in breaking this man's glass ? Inspector Humphreys—Because it did not hold an im perial half pint. Defendant—lt did not hold even three parts of a half pint. Some friends of mine had had some ale in similar glasses. I pointed out to the policeman that it did not hold near the measure. I was excited, and through that I dropped the glass. I thought it would abolish the offence if I at once admitted it. Inspector Humphreys —I told him that shortness of measure, even if it were so, would not justify his breaking up the glass, but he insisted it would. Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—You are fined Is. and the value of the glass, or you must suffer three days' imprison ment. Defendant, who said he would not pay, was lacked up. ---...... THAm E S. SANGUINARY AFFRAY,— Catherine Sullivan, an Irish woman, about 30 years of ago, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with assaulting and w, unding Ellen Desmond, a young woman, in Blue Anchor-yard, Rose mary-lane, on the night of Tuesday, the 28th ult. The husband and son of the prisoner are in custody, and have been remanded by Mr. Partridge until Wednesday next. The woman Ellen Desmond was savagely beaten by the Sullivan family, and struck on the head with a stone several times. She was grievously wounded, and carried to the London Hospital, where she has ever since remained. A certificate of the dangerous condition of the woman Desmond 14 , 113 handed to the magistrate. Francis Kelly, 130 H, said he met with the prisoner last night, and charged her with being concerned in the outrage on Mrs. Desmond. She ran away from him, and he pursued her and took her into custody. Evidence was given that the Sullivan family beat Mrs. Desmond in a savage manner, and while the son held her by the hair of the head, Mrs. Sullivan beat the woman over the head with a large stone, which Kelly produced. Mr. Leigh remanded the prisoner. DEAD DKUNIC ON JAMAICA RIIM.—An. Irish labourer, who gave the name of John Howard, but who called him self Michael Donovan, last night was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with being drunk and incapable. Payne, a constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, said the prisoner was engaged in de livering a cargo of rum from a West Indian ship yesterday. Some of the casks were leaky, and the prisoner and other labourers drank immoderately of new Jamaica rum, of great strength, and fell dead drunk at half-past eleven o'clock in the morning. The prisoner was taken to the station-house in a state of complete insensibility, and was attended by a medical man. The prisoner dislodged a quantity of rum from his stomach, and was nearly dead. Mr. Leigh—Where has the prisoner been all night ? Payne —ln the station-house. Mr. Leigh—He must not be employed again in the dock. Payne—No sir, he will not. The prisoner—The rhum, yer honour, took an effect upon me ; shure, the smell of it kilt ma quite. Mr. Leigh said the prisoner had suffered for his folly, and dismissed him. FRIGHTFUL DEATH BY FALLING DOWN A COAL PIT.—On Mon±,y last Mr. Coroner Swanu bell an inquest at New Eastwood, Notts, on the body of a youth named Nillard Taylor, who was employed in one of Messrs. Barber and Walker's coal pits. Oa Friday evening he was riding down an incline with two companions. The works had been stopped for the night, and it was supposed that the pit shaft was protected by an iron fence. It appeared, however, that the banksman had neglected his duty, and as the train arrived at the end of the gangway the waggon in which the deceased was riding was thrown down the shaft. His two companions managed to save theinselvhe es of by jumping out, but the deceased fell to the bo ttom pit and was picked up in a shocking condition. The juryt returned a verdict of accidental death. "Agreeably to our rules, the body ought to be burnt and the ashes given to the Ganges. The thing is simple enough in itself, and, as it in fringes no moral or physical law, we certainly can not believe the wisdom and intelligence of the land would oppose our acting as our religion directs. "Besides, the belief dal) religionists is that no funeral is hallowed unless a priest, or, in his ab sence, a layman of the religion of the deceased officiates at his obsequies. Now, it is not competent to a Christian minister to afford the rights of burial to her Highness, and we, on our part, cannot render any assistance if the remains are to be buried, It is hard, then, her Highness should be deprived of the offices the meanest claim and receive through out the civilised globe, and that we should be re fused the consolation of discharging the Etst sad duty for our mistress that is the right of all, and that is not in the power of his Highness the Maha rajah, or any other Christian, to pay. " Her Highness was particularly careful about everything relating to caste; indeed, so much so, that up to her demise she refused to eat when his Highness the Maharajah happened to be on the same carpet with herself, and, so that she might not be compromised, had a separate establishment of Indians, who attended to her table end every thing connected with it. In asking to dispose of her Highness's remains according to our religion, then, we feel we are ful filling her Highness's wishes, and are satisfied, had she known her dissolution was at hand, she would have left definite instructions for the disposal of her body after the forms of the Sikh religion. " Reiterating our protest in the name of the friends and relations of her Highness the Maha ranee, of the Sikhs in general, both here and abroad, and in the interests of civil and religions liberty, " We have the honour to be, sir, " Your very obedient servants, "UTCHEEL SINGH, Sageerdar, "KISHEN SINGH, Khutry.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY, The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held to-day at the London Tavern. The report stated that the net profits, after deducting all charges, amounted to £63,838 19s. 9d., which, added to £1,483 2s. 3d. brought forward, made a total of £65,322 2s. A dividend of 6 per cent. for the half-year, free of income tax, was proposed and agreed to unanimously. CITY OF LONDON BREWING COMPANY• HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; A. Young, Esq., presiding. The CHAtumAN eaid the business f r transaction was very short and satisfactory. Hitherto the directors had paid both classes of shareholders a dividend at the rate of G per cent, but on this occasion that amount wculd be in creased. Al hough no formal report would be presented on that occasion, he bad to infcrm the meeting that the half-yearly accounts had been audited, and the directors felt perfectly justified in increasing their dividend on the pret•ent occasion to 31 per cent. for the half year to both classes of shareholders, which was at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The proposition was agreed to unanimously, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. A CASE OF CONSCIENCE. The following letter 119,6 been addreesed to the editor of the Times : " Sir s —Her Highness the Maharanee, Jindkore, of Lahore, mother of his Highness the Maharajah Daleep Singh, died on the Ist current at Abingdon house, Kensington, in the Hindoo faith, and we understand it is proposed to bury her. _ . " The practice is contrary to the religion of the Sikhs, and, as his Highness the Maharajah denies our right to dispose of the body according to our customs, we are constrained, as a matter of con science, to appeal to the country for protection, and beg you will kindly allow us a place i❑ your spirited journal to enter a public protest against the intended desecration. SCIENCE AND ART DEPARTMENT. The report of the Science and Art Department for the past year statee that 2,543 persons have been under instruction in science .classes taught by certificated masters, and, besides, about 870 stu dents at Glasgow and Manchester, taught by un certificated masters, have been examined by the de partment. At the examination, held at 55 local centres, 1,239 persons were examined, 1,943 papers were worked, and 1,480 passed. The students of seven Irish schools, numbering only 374, were successful in obtaining 149 prizes and 12 medals out of a total of 689 prizes and 35 medals. There are now 127 certificated science teach ers, all educated without any expenditure of public money by the department, except five or six who were trained before the minute was passed. A minute has been issued assimilating the aid granted to navigation classes to that afforded to general science classes, with due regard to the pecu liar nature of navigation schools, and encouraging a sounder system of instruction. As respects art, the department consider that the time has arrived when the local scho ols have become sufficiently ad vanced in their studies to enable them to train students for masterships up to a certain grade of competency, and a minute has, therefore, been passed by which no further payments in London will be made to assist students to take the first cer tificate for a mastership. On the other hand, it is proposed to revert to the system of scholarships in the central school, which had been somewhat pre , maturely established in the schools of design. These scholarships will be open to competition to the ad vanced students of all local schools, and the holders of them will have the opp ortunit y of making prac tical use of the collections of the Art Museum. In 1862 8,896 children of poor schools in London were taught through the agency of the central school. The total number of schools of art now open in the United Kingdom ie 9U. In the central schools 15,908 persons received instruction in the year, in the public schools 71,423. 4,672 payments were made to schools of art in respect of results of exami nations. Payments on results have for the last ten years formed part of the system by which art mas ters have been remunerated, and the working of the system has been such as to justify its complete adoption; minutes have accordingly been prepared extending the application of this principle to all the instruction given in or through the means of art schools. These minutes will also tend to restrict the aid of the State to those classes that are enable to provide such education for themselves. In the last year 87,389 persons were taught drawing through the agency of the department, the fees paid by them amounting to £18,017. Of this sum £5,038 was paid by evening students, who are almost wholly arti sans paying not more than 6d. a week for three lessons. Several foreign Governments, from a sense of the great influence of the science and art depart ment on the industrial progress of this country; have made application for detailed information o o f that the the working of the department —a pro enlightened views of the Princ e Consort in a een found ing the South Kensington Museum h p ave b ingdoto, but by other preciated, not only in t his k nations. F A TAL GUN ACCIDENT NEAR N O TTINGIUM.—At the Shirehall, Nottingham, on Wednesday, the 6 th inst., a young ma n about 20 years of age, named Bennett Carnal!, was brought before Lord Belper and the sitting magistrates , charged with shooting a child named Elizabeth Old h am , three ye ars old.

" Squelch it, by heavens, squelch it r Precisely in this summary fashion has the pitiless Saturday Review acted by Mr. M'Ghee's transla tion of M. Cretineau•Joly's History of the Jesuits. Saith the critic, coming down upon the Exeter Hallite with a pancake-making weight of ridicule in every sentence : Whether piqued at being turned into a waste-paper basket, or desirous to furbish up his old pamphlets afr3sh, Mr. M'Ghee has thought proper to add to the injury he has done M. Cretineau-Jolt' by his queer translation, by swamping him, fore and aft, with 23 pages of preface and 136 of notes, besides peppering the test all along with amenities such as the following :—" The notes (to the Irish Bible) teem with intolerance and treason ;" "the silent stealthy movements of that body are like the noiseless tread of the tiger as he steals to spring on his prey : "here it is demonstrated that the whole Repeal movement in Ireland was the work of the General of the Jesuits,and that O'Con nell, the bishops, and the priests were their tools" (the un fortunate sentence that " demonstrates" this being the rather harmless assertion that the separation of the Jesuits in Ireland from those in England " promised to produce fruitful results") ; " whenever they volunteer the profes sion of any apparent good, is merely a cloak to cover the evil exactly opposite ;" " there are certain historians who ought proverbially to have good memories," and the like ad nauseam. What imaginable enemy he hopes to con quer, or what friend to warn, by the flora literarum, Mr. M'Ghee must be the best judge. Our own feeling is simply that, if the Jesuits did all the good that is reported of them in the text, and if nothing more reliable can be said against them than is stated in this writer's notes, the work is to well calculated to serve their cause—if only there were any chance of its being read—that we could imagine the book written by one of the order. Into his " notes and commentaries" we simply decline to enter. They remind us of nothing so much as a school playground after a sth of November, with its spent squibs, disembodied crackers, blackened cases of extinct Roman candles, and an unpleasant smell of burnt powder all around. In 136 pages we at least expected same contradiction of M. Cretineau-Joly's facts, or some correction of his inferences. Nothing of the sort is to be found. Long quotations from Nicolini, a Mr. Grinfield, Mr. Steinmetz, and weary twaddle of his own composition, fill up the dreary pages ; and the chief effort of his logic is expended in showing that for the whisky-shops within convenient distance of the Roman Catholic chapels, and for the temporary success of Father Matthew's crusade against whisky drinking, the Jesuits are alike responsible. And here we take leave of Mr. M'Ghee in his own open ing words :—" We cannot present this translation to the public without anticipating, with not unnatural sympathy, the sentiments of indignation which must pervade the breast of every honest Englishman when he shall have arrived at its conclusion." A more entirely trashy book it has never been our lot to review; but we must qualify the statement by adding that we never had the misfortune to read any other of this gentleman's productions. , Royal Institute of British Architects. Last evening the members of this institute, of which her Majesty is the patron, entertained Mr. Tite, M.P., at dinner at the Trafalgar, at Green wich, on the occasion of his retiring from the office of president, which he had held for two years. Professor Donaldson, the eminent arctitect, acted as chairman, and the company was made up of all the more distinguished members of the profession in the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom, including Mr. Gilbert Scott, Mr. Charles Barry, Mr. Penrose, Mr. Pennethoze,a, Mr. F. P. Cockerel!, Mr. P. Hardwick, R.A., Mr. S. Smirke, R.A., Mr. Owen Jones, Mr. Crace, M r . Asbpitel, M. J. Fergusson, Mr. B. Ferry, and many other arehi teats and persons of note. All the " style," in deed, may be said to have been represented ' on the occasion. The Lord Mayor was likewise present, ; , s were also Mr. Hawkshaw, president of the Insti ;ute of Civil Engineers; Mr. Thwaites, chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; and Mr. Bntinck, M.P. Judging from the cordial tone of the meeting, and of the speelhes made on the occasion, the architects of the metropolis ap pear to regard Mr. Tite not only as an orna ment of their profession, but as having given hem as a body a social status, and opportunities fur advancing the study of their art unknown to them until within the last 15 or 20 years, and combined individual skill and knowledge into one common stock for the public advantage, through • the medium of the Institute, which he was mainly instrumental in establishing. Though they may differ on many subjects connected with their pro fession, they would seem to be at one in these re • spects, from the highest to the humblest. In the course of the evening Professor Donaldson, now the president of the institute, proposed the health of his predecessor, Mr. Tite, in very complimentary terms, dwelling on his merits and works as an architect during a career of upwards of 40 years. principally in the city of London, in which he was born and educated, on the liberal assistance he had afforded from time to time from his own private means in advancing the general interests of the profession, and on his fine arcbte3logical taste. The toast was drunk with great cordiality by the whole company, and Mr. Tite spoke briefly in reply to the compli ment, recounting some of the more interesting inci dents of his professional experience, but, like the speech of the chairman, interesting only or mostly to the members of his own profession. The com pany separated about 11 o'clock. JESUITS AND JESUITRY.

The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Lady Caroline Lennox have come to town for the marriage of Lord Alexander Gordon Lennox and Niss TowuleY, second daughter of Colonel and Lady Caroline Townley. At the Antrim assizes, on Saturday and Monday, Baron Fitzgerald and a special jury were engaged in hearing a breach of promise case. The plaintiff, Miss Jaue Marian Shallow, was a milliner at New castle, in the county Down. The defendant, Mr. James Savage, a widower, was much older than the plaintiff. He was a coal and timber merchant, residing at Newry. He became acquainted with her in the year 1860, and an attachment springing up between them, he professed himself to be a de voted lover. At last their marriage was fixed for the 17th of June, 1861. In consequence of this the plaintiff was induced to selloff the greater portion of her business, as defendant assured her he was worth £7,000 or £B,OOO, and, therefore, there would be no need for her to continue it. When the 17th of June arrived the defendatit backed out from fulfilling the engagement then, on the ground of ill-health, though it didn't appear to be very serious. September was next named for the interesting ceremony, but once more he de clined, and, as a matter of course, the plaintiff lost her appetite, and indulged in nothing but crying and fretting—indeed, her mother stated that for tour months she hardly came down from her bed room. When asked why be had bought her the " wedding dress," he denied he had done so. He was a sporting man, and as one of his dogs had won a wager, he presented the plaintiff with a new dress on the occasion. One of the strongest proofs that he really was courting the plaintiff was the fact that, during a comparatively short time, he sent her 200 letters. Most of them were of a very prosaic and insipid character. However, in one or two he described his tender love for her "as being like a lava flood that burns in the breast of Etna's flames." This burning sensation must have soon gone off, as he forsook the plaintiff and married an other lady. The jury awarded the plaintiff 100 guineas, though she had estimated the outrage on her feelings at £3,000. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AT A CRICKET MATCH.— Yesterday Captain Stewart, of the 2d Life Guards, met with a serious accident while engaged in a match at cricket in the barrack-field at Woolwich, between the Household Brigade and the Royal Artillery, Captain Stewart, in attempting to catch a short ball from the wicket, fractured the middle finger of his left hand, which was also severely lacerated. He was taken to the Royal Artillery Infirmary, where the wounded hand was care fully attended to, and, being informed that amputation would be necessary, he was removed to London at his own request. Captain Taswell, R.A., was also severely wounded in the same match. The ball struck him with terrible force between the eyes, and for a moment it was feared that the blow was fatal. The :sufferer will, it is stated, bear traces of the wound through life. GRANITE CYST FOR THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AND Tra QUEEN.—A stone has been successfully cut from the Cairngall Granite Quarry at Peterhead, which is to form a tomb for Prince Albert—on a smaller scale, but on the same principle as the tomb of Napoleon at Paris — being placed on the floor of the vault, and not underground. The stone is ten feet long by about seven broad, and three and a half deep; and it is to be cut into a sort of sarco phagus, to rest in a pedestal. Two cysts are to be cut in the stone for the insertion of coffins and lids lett to be cemented down, The body of the late Prince is to occupy one cyst ; and we believe it is the express wish of her Ma jesty that her own remains shall be deposited in the other. The obtaining of this stone has been a work of extreme diffi cu lty— o ne or two fine blocks having been already re jected for flaws. Th e stone weighs above 18 tons, and will.

The experiment was on a very small scale cer tainly, too emai l, we should think, to be of value for any pra ctical purp ose, or to test fairly the capabilities f or the profitable cultivation. of the plant fer of co t i h n e distrie. ,- merciat purpose?. i‘ Four acres of ground were cleared of elephan t grass in lay, 1862, near a age on the banks o f the Boben stream. Three and a half w i t h seed of the New O r l eans acres were sown (which were unfoitunately mixed), and Egyptian varieties Sea Island peed. Th e see d and half an ac re with cultivation; the sowings was all the produce of l as t year's partly in July. Th e Sea g g took place partly in J u ne and Island cotton failed entirely, and in no instances, says the report, has it succeeded in Burniah. other sorts ripened in October, before the rains had ceased, ,but great care was taken to pick the cotton immediately the pods burst, so as to keep it from damp. A n E per superintendent was sent to the spot to superintend the picking, which continued up to the end of November. The first crop from the three and a half acres yielded 6751 b. of cotton with seed ; a small second crop was picked up in March, 1863, when 1501 b. more were collected, making a total for the year of 8251 b. After ginning, only 2041 b. of cleaned cotton were obtained, which was a proportion of about 21b. uncleaned to lib. cleaned. It appears the seed sown in June did not produce as much:as that sown in July, which is accounted for partly by its ripening too early when the rains were still heavy, partly because the ground was not so well pre pared, and partly because the July or second sowing was superintended by an overseer who knew something of the cotton plant and its treatment, from a residence in the Southern States of America. incessant rain, it is said, prevented his superintending the first sow ing. The result c f the exper;ment is stated to be that cotton will grow, but the experiment is very incomplete, " as failures arise from accident, such as bad seed and want of proper superintendence, if the localities chosen for the seat of the experiment are distant and difficult of access." It is proposed, however, next year to try expe riments to test whether it can be grow n for profit, and " whether later sowing, so as to ensure the heavy rains being ended before the picking begins, will not give more fruitful results." The esperiment, such as was obtained, being the utter failure of the Sea Island seed. The report closes by stating that " some seed has been given to an overseer who wor ks in the forest, oad who is anxious to try an experiment of his own on a huger scale, to see whether the plan't• will thrive with a minim um amount of labour spent upon it, and thus be made rernu terative." We should have thought the Government, if it did anything at all in the matter itself, would have done it on a larger scale, and taken a great deal more pains to ensure the success of what it did undertake. Judging from the proceedings of Government in the present case, from its own report of a em ,. meagre experiment, • it seems hardly to have had a fair trial, for the brief report on the subject admits ignorant and im perfect superintendence, atAl that the various varieties of seed used were hopelessly mixed together, so that it was impossible to say whether one kind of seed would do better than another, The experiment clearly failed from the want of precautions most essential to secure bny chance of success, and without which failure have veep looked on as certain, —Bombay Gorette, SECOND EDITIO SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.
