MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a moderate business in the general dis count market, and the rates continue firm. About £5,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. A highly important undertaking has been an nounced to-day under the anspiceu of the General Credit and Finance Company of London. It is entitled the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Credit Fonder Indien), with a nominal capital of £2,000,000 in shares of £2O each. The company will grunt loans on land, either for fixed periods, or upon tenures that will extinguish the debt during the currency of the mortgage, or the paymentfof an annual instalment on account of the principal, in addition to the annual interest, thus conferring on the borrowers the benefit of an eventual liquida tion of their debts. There is an extensive field for the operations of the company; and as the directors, who are sufficiently influential to , com mand ample support in any direction they require, will issue debentures for fixed periods, the resources at their command for enlarged enterprise will be in a measure unlimited. The board comprises Mr. S. Laing, Colonel Balfour, C. 8., Mr. H. L. Bischoff sheim, Hon. W. S. Fitzwilliam, Sir J. P. Grant, 31.C.8., P. Northall Laurie, and others. The re markable success of the French Credit Foncier is referred to in illustration of the system it is pro posed to adopt, and the prospectus, which appears in another column, gives ample information with regard to the details of the project. It is under stood that a large proportion of the capital has been already arranged for, and the undertaking has met with a very favourable reception, the shares being 3 to 34 prem. Two o'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 75c. —Better. The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received, per telegram from Melbourne via Suez, the results of the opera tions for the month of July, and of the quantity of quartz crushed during the four weeks in August in anticipation of the Australian mails. Quantity of quartz crushed, 3,132 tons, yielding 8 dwts. 22 gre. per ton ; receipts, £2,400 ; ordinary expenditure, £850; on account new stamps, Z 660 ; showing a profit of £B9O. The amouat of the remittance is £1,250. Quantity of quartz crushed in the four weeks in August, 3,150 tons, yielding 10 dwts. 19 grs. per ton. Speculative business has continued very quiet in' the Market for Public Securities, which are also but little resorted to by the investing classes. An extreme degree of dulness is consequently experienced, Consols remain flat at 93/ for money and account. The French Rentes are telegraphed at a slight advance, but it has had no effEct on the markets here. The New 3 per Cent. and the Reduced Annuities are 911 92; India Bonds, 108/ ; Enfaced 6 per Cent., 117/, and Ex chequer Bills are marked par, 3s. prem.; Bank Stock for account has been dealt in at 237.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue in moderate request, without any material change to note in values.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCPOBER 6, HA LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE JOHNSON-APPLICATION FOR RELEASE. This bankrupt was a solicitor in Great Marlbarough street, and applied some time since to be released from cus tody, but Mr. Commissioner Fane refused to grant it, on the ground that the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action. Mr. Chidley now renewed the application. He said the allegation was that the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action, but the fact was he disputed the case and a summons was taken out before the Master to hear the grounds of defence, but the bankrupt was unable to attend, as he was summoned for the same hour to the police court at Bo w-street in a criminal case, and in consequence of his absence in the suit the case was treated as undefended, and judgment went against the bankrupt in default. The learned gentleman contended that a vexatious defence was generally treated as a matter of discharge, and not against the release ; but even if it were, the bankrupt had been in prison for two months, which no doubt would be deemed by the court a sufficient punishment. Mr. Dowse, for the opposing creditor, contended that as the case had originally been before Mr. Commissioner Fane, the matter should stand over for his consideration, His Honour asked whether, under the Act, there was any power for one Commissioner to vary the order of another Commissioner, Mr.Chidley thought it discretionary. On a change of cir cumstance the original application had been refused, pro- bably because no assignee had been chosen, and he could well understand, indeed, it was frequently the case that the Commissioner would not grant a release until there had been an opportunity of consulting the assignee. His Honour—Mr. Commissioner Fane refused the appli cation, and I do not consider I have the right, or am com • petent, to reverse his judgment. Mr. Chidley—Then the bankrupt may have to remain in prison 5 or 6 weeks longer. His Honour—You can communicate with Mr. Fane, and if he has no objection, I will entertain the question, but not without. The bankrupt was therefore sent'back in custody. RE CORNER This bankrupt was a solicitor in the Kent-road, and this was an adjourned meeting for last examination and dis charge, but the bankrupt did not appear, nor could his soli citor account for his absence. His Honour granted an hour's delay, and as the bank rupt did not then appear, the examination was adjourned sine die. IN RE SYKES. This bankrupt was a county court bailiff at Mile-end, and this was a meeting for discharge. Mr. Aldridge said that the bankrupt, when in debt him self in £llO, had become security for his father, and almost immediately afterwards became bankrupt, but he (Mr. Ald ridge) didn't oppose. His Honour said that it was very wrong for a man to become security even for his father unless he knew he could pay his own debts, but as there was no opposition the bank rupt might take his discharge. ger was likely to result from the wound, and the sergeant said he had not heard so. Mr. Knox said he would take the prisoner's own recog nisance to appear to•morrow at two o'clock, and in the meantime the case could be looked into, as he did not like such cases to go off in such a manner. ANNOTINO AN HOTEL KEEPER..—EIIen Young, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with annoying M. Giovanni Chialey, proprietor of the Hotel de l'Etoile, 16, Great Windmill-street, and with being drunk and dis orderly. • M. Chialey said the prisoner had formerly been his ser vant, and last night, between nine and ten, she came to the hotel drunk, and made a great disturbance, and he was obliged to give her in charge. Prisoner said M. Chialey was the father of her child, and he had not lately given her any money. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether she affiliated the child, and she said she did, but that she had had no money for 12 months. 341 A said that on going to the hotel the prisoner refused to go away unless the complainant gave her £2O. The whole hotel was in an uproar, and a large crowd of persons assembled outside in consequence of the prisoner's conduct. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether she would promise to keep away from the hotel, and take the proper remedy to recover her taioney due for the child. If she did not, he should reluctantly, as complainant was the father of her child, have to send her to prison. The prisoner having given a promise not to go to the complainant's again, was discharged. A British Ship fired into by a Confede. rate Privateer., The Hahneman, Captain Phillips, from London, which arrived in Bombay on the 30th August, met with the following adventure :—On the Ist July, in la t. 25.25 S., and long. 32.48 W., while in com pany with two Dutch barques—one named the Bulgerstyn, the other name unknown—they per ceived a large brig bearing down apon them with all sail. She passed the two Dutch ships, exchanged signals with them, and then shaped her course for the Hahneman, which was then on the port tack, and heading to S.S.W., with the wind S.E. The brig then fired a blank gun, and the British colours were immediately hoisted on the Hahneman, but she still kept on her course. The American now fired a shotted gun, which fortunately fell astern ; afterwards another shot dropped just ahead. The Hahneman then lay to, and the barque rapidly gained upon her, and while she was hauling up her the privateer again fired—this time, two shotted guns —one of which nearly reached the Hahneman, falling in a line with the foremast, and the other passed over the poop. close by the captain and mate. The Hahneman was immediately brought to and waited the approach of the unwel come stranger. When she was within about 400 yards, a boat was lowered, manned by an officer and four men, heavily armed, three of whom boarded the Hahneman, and demanded her papers. The officer was remonstrated with by the captain as to his mode of procedure, who replied that if he was sure she was a Federal ship, they would have sunk her rather than let her escape. The ship's papers Were strictly scrutinised, with which the officer ex pressed himself satisfied. The officer, upon inquiry, s aid his ship was the Tuscaloosa, Captain Low, and had run the blockade of Charleston after the defeat of the ironclads, and had been fifty days ont ; she had not captured any vessels in that time, although s everal had been boarded by her. The officer, Mr. St. Clair, a native of Virginia, then left the ship together with his men, and the Hahneman pro ceeded on her way. • TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened.

FitEs cg ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting M. Morellet d escr ib ed a case of phosphores cence of sea-water manifesting itself under circumstances different from those which usually accompany the phenome• non. O n the 14th of A ugust l ast, M. Morellet having bathed in the sea at Car nou, near Penols (Herault), the temperature being 98 Fahr. at the time, the bathing dresses he and a friend o f hi s had worn were washed in the sea and then stuff e d i n t o a b asket, w h er e they remained until nine in the evening, when M. Morellet prepared to hang them out to dry. But o n touching the first pi ece, he was astonished to see sparks issuing from it; the same occurred w i th the second, an d i n fact with all. O n th e following morning, on taking them down from the rope on which they were hung, p r esented nothing remar k a bl e , excep t a their appearan ce fine sand which adh ere d t o t h e th rea d s.

Chariot Pie, on the discovery of a certain substance by means of which he can obt a i n ph o t ograp h s reproducing the natural colours o f t h e o bj ects represented. But as M. 13;6 did not menti on t h e composition of the bath he used in o rder to obtain such impressions, the Academy declined appointing a commission until the author of the P aper should ha ve f u lfille d this condition, and s en t a few proofs obtained by his process. M. Serres continued his description of the brain of the Lepidosiren annectans, and showed that it bore greater resemblance to the brain of rep tiles than to that of fishes. It resembles the perennibranchial reptiles by t h e s mallness of it s cerebellum, the depression of the .ptic lobe and the unity of that organ, which is always double in osseou s and cartilagineous fish; and, lastly, by the considerable volume of the pineal gland, which is ex tremely small in fish. On the other hand, it has at the base of the encephalum a spinal marrow which belongs more to the class of fishes than to that of reptiles. The French Academy of Fine Arts held its public annual sitting on Saturday, M. J ouffroy presiding. After the execution of an overture composed by M. Guiraud, pupil of Messrs. lialevy and Barbareau, and the reading of the r.eport on the works of the students of the French Acade my st R ome, M. Beule, perpetual secretary, read a notice of the life and works of Horace Vernet, which was loudly applauded. The President next produced the names of the pupils who had gained the grand prizes for sculpture, archite cture, engraving, and music, and the sitting terminated w ith the execution of th e scena com posed by M. Massen et, pupil of m M. Ambrose Thomas and Reber, for which the grand prize of musical composition hal been awarded. The ironclad squadron which left Cherbourg on the 27th ult., arrived in the Brest roads on the 3d inst.

Shortly alter lea vin g Newcastle-on-Tyne the train came to a dead stand, and on the earl in qu i r i ng t h e ca use he was informed that an essential part of the engine had given way, and that the train must be d e t a i ne d t i ll the necessar y repairs were completed. His lordship immediately jumped out of the carriage, and in less than a minute was hammer. ing away at the disabled engine as if he were the working engineer of the line. Sooty fingers, greased clothes, and awkward positions in reaching the injured member, formed no obstacle to Lord Caithness, who, in less than an hour, had put everything to rights, and returned to his carriage to prosecute the journey not quite so lordly looking in his face and fingers as when he first started. Of course, the engineer was all gratitude, and was proud to know that his fellow-workman in this unlooked-for emergency was no less than an earl.—Northern Ensign. The Journal General de l'lnstruction Publigue contains two decrees from the Minister of Public Instruction. The first offers apr izo of 1,500 f., in 1865, to the departmental scientific society which shall present the best work tending to rectify or complete any of the historical catalogues relating to France contained in the " Art de verifier lea Dates," or to fix the chronology of the great feudatories of France not mentioned in that work. The second proposes a similar prize, in 1865, to the Scientific Society of the departments of Algeria which shall present the best work, either manuscript or printed, on any subject of national artheology. The works must be sent to the Minister of Public Instruction before Dec. 31, 1864, and no work published before the Ist July, 1863, can be re covered. THE SKELETON OF A WHALE caught at Cadg with, has been cleaned and forwarded to London, having been sold to the Crystal Palace Company to be set up in their grounds. It was announced yesterday that Mr. George Thomson, of the firm of Catto, Thomson, and Co., shipowners, of Aberdeen, had absconded, leaving defalcations to a very large extent. The firm are stated to be perfectly solvent, and will consequently crry or their business as WWI, RE WALKER. This bankrupt was a coal merchant at Enfield, and ob tained his discharge without opposition. Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles state the debts at £933; good debts and property £175. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION HOUSE. THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY THE HUNGARIAN SIG'S. MUND DITRICHSTEIN.—In consequence of the apprehension of Ditrichstein having become known a great many persona assembled in the Justice Room this morning in the expec tation that the prisoner would undergo a public examina tion, but in this they were disappointed, as the necessary arrangements for the conveyance of the prisoner from Vienna, where he is at present, will delay his arrival in this country fir two or three days. The capture of Ditrichstein has, it appears, not been effected without the greatest difficulty and caution; the persons engaged in the discovery of the fugitive being Detective Moss, of the City Police, and Mr. Pollaky, of George-street, Mansion House, the latter having been employed by Messrs. Mullins, the solicitors, of the Poultry, to accompany the, officer as interpreter. On quitting London a short time ago Mr. Pollaky and the officer proceeded at once to the continent, feeling certain that Ditrichstein would endeavour to make his escape in that direction in preference to America or Australia. On arriving at Presburg it was discovered that the wife of Ditrichstein was living there, and alao that her husband had been seen in the neighbour hood, but, on inquiry, it was found that they quitted the place, when and where no one could tell. A clue, after much difficulty, was again discovered, and immediately the officers left Presburg, proceeded to a town on the frontiers of Austria, from thence to Pesth in Hungary, where Ditrichscein's wife was found to have joined her husband, who had previously arrived there. In a very short time after the officers had made this discovery the Austrian authorities were at once communicated with, and Detective Moss and the officials proceeded to the residence of Ditrichstein and there secured their man, and also nearly the whole of the money stolen. On being token into custody, Ditrieh. stein was at once conveyed to Vienna, in charge of Con stable Moss, to undergo the necessary preliminaries previous to his departure for England. BOW-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—CharIes Jones, clerk and collector to Messrs. Deeds, wholesale leather sellers, of New Oxford-street, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. _ _ Mr. Lewis (of Marlborough-street) said the prisoner had been in the service of the firm mentioned for about a year, and his duty was to collect money due to the firm in the usual manner. The prisoner was only apprehended last night, but he was prepared to prove one case, and then he should ask for a remand, in order that the accounts might be thoroughly investigated. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. Weaver, of Woolwich, said—On the sth of Septem ber I paid the prisoner £4, and £6 3s. 6d. on the following Saturday, it being the balance of my account. I never re turned any goods in lieu of payment. John Grover, cashier of Messrs. Deeds and Co., 451. Oxford-street, said the prisoner had been in their employ about 12 months as traveller and collector. His salary was £2 per week with his expenses. His duty was to receive moneys on part of the firm, and, when received, to enter them in a rough credit book, and hand the sums to me. Oa looking at the sth of September 1 find no entry of £4 received from Messrs. Weaver, of Woolwich. He has never paid aver that amount. He made an entry of £6 38. 6d. as received from that gentleman, and then he said, "You will observe that this is the balance of Messrs, Weaver's account, and he has returned some goods that he did not require." The stock was searched, but the goods mentioned could not be found. Mr. Lewis—That is all the evidence I propose offering to-day. The defalcations, it is believed, will turn out to be something very considerable. The prisoner was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. A THIEF ON THE CRYSTAL PALACE LlNE,—Thomas Donovan, a low looking fellow, was placed at the bar, charged with a robbery upon the Crystal Palace Railway. Mrs. Mary Hemmings said--Between five and six o'clock last evening I was a passenger on the Crystal Palace Rail way. I got into a third class carriage at Lower Norwood, to come to Victoria station, but before I arrived there I missed my purse. There were several persons in the car riage, and amongst them the prisoner, and he sat next to me part of the time. Mr. Arnold —When had you last known your purse was safe ? Prosecutor—lt was safe when I got into the carriages. I missed it between Balham and Victoria or Battersea, and returned and mentioned my loss to my friend, and again examined my pocket. When we arrived at Victoria I was satisfied it was gone, and I suspected the prisoner, for the moment we got to the Victoria station he passed the per sons sitting between him and the door, and jumped out as soon as he could, but I followed him, and accused him of stealing my purse. He said he was an honest lad, and I might search him, for he had done nothing of the sort. I told him I knew he had got it, and then ho said " You don't wish to prosecute ma if I give you up the money ?" He then gave me 45., and I told him that that was not enough, that there had been 9s. in my purse, and I wanted the remainder and the purse, but he said he had not got it. He R as then taken into a room at the station, where he gave up 5s more; he took it out of his coat, and when asked for the purse he said he had throw n it under a seat in the carriage. I produce the m.seSetareteritx, a c s o si m st p a l n a t in g o u f ar u cl e , i n s g ai r d ob t b h e a d t pocket whi c h I wore ; it has been cut with a knife. W heard pri the pro _ h w e h to en ok h t e he pri soner into the cloakroom. He cut the lace of one of his boots, and taking it off produced ss. He had before pre tended that he had give n h er up al l her money. John Parish, 140 B, said he picked up the purse in the carriage. Prisoner was remanded. MARLBORO UGH -STREET. STAsursor.—Thowas Balawin, of 22, Trafalgar-street, Walworth-•road, house decorator, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with wilfully stabbing John Morris, a carpenter, residing in Clare-court, Drury-lane. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Sergeant Clif ford, 9 E, said the prosecutor was not present. Mr. Knox asked the sergeant what was the nature of the wound ? The sergeant said he underato ood t hat Morris and th e prisoner had quarreled at a pu blic-ho use respecting a female of h wit t hw e arr h q o u mth el th eyh e padrbi7on been drinkin g, rinking, and th at in the course stabbed Morris in the head. When Morris came to the station his head was bandaged, and he stated that the injury was done with a knife. • _ _ _ Mr, Knox asked the sergeant whether he heard any (lan. MARYLEBONE. A BRATTISH MOTHER—ATTEMPT TO DROWN HER CHILD.—A coarse, dissipated-looking woman named Mary Mara, of Queen-street, Drury-lane, costermonger, was charged with attempting to drown her child in the Regent's Canal. On the prisoner being placed in the dock, William Andrews, 241 S, said the witnesses were not yet in attendance. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Why are they not here ? Andrews—l cannot tell. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—You ought to have had them here. Andrews—They promised to attend. Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Then you ought not to have the prisoner brought up till the witnesses were here. Mr. Mansfield—Let us hear what you know about it. Mr. Tate—You should bring your witnesses in. Andrews then said—l was on duty in the Park-road, Regent's-park, between seven or eight last evening, and noticed a crowd of people looking over the canal bridge, On looking over myself I saw the prisoner held by several men, and close by was a child crying.: The men informed him in her presence that she was just in the act of dropping her child over the railings into the ,eater when they pre vented her. He at once took her into custody, and on the way to the station she said " that she meant to drown the young b—, if the men had not come up as they did." Mr. Mansfield—Was she drunk ? Andrews—She was, your worship. I took the child to the workhouse, when Mr. Douglas, the master, said that that was over the twentieth time the child had been brought there. The child had been crying bitterly all the time by the side of the mother, and the latter kept pulling it and ey claiming, you little - what was you naughty in the streets for. Mr. Tubbs, assistant-overseer, said the prisoner wag a most disreputable woman ; always drunk. When her child bas been brought into the house, and is made nice and clean, then she comes and claims it. Mr. Mansfield remanded prisoner for a week. The poor little child (about 3 years of age) was then taken from its unnatural mother to be taken to the workhouse. Its shrieks and cries were pitiful to hear. GOUGING A WIFE'S EYES OUT.—A brutish looking fellow, named William Jones, residing at 10, Barratt's court, was charged with the following shocking brutality to his wife. Saint, 183 D, said the wife was in the hospital, and quite unable to attend. The medical gentleman was also too busy to give a certificate this morning. Mr. Mansfield—What has he done to his wife ? Saint—When I saw the wife, at an early hour this worm ing, she was screaming "murder." Her eye was right out of the socket, and hanging down her cheek, there was also a quantity of blood. The doctor says she will be totally blind. About four years ago he gouged her other eye out, and she has been quite blind in that ever since. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. THAMES. SCANDALOUS PLUNDER OF A SzaLon.—Margaret Maynard, aged 22, a notorious thief, who has decoyed many sailors into the dens of infamy in and near Tiger Bay," St. George's-in-the-East, and robbed them, was charged with being connected with others in stealing a silver watch and metal guard valued at £5 10s., 10s. in cash, and wearing apparel, from the person of John Conolly, a seaman, now staying at the Sailor's Home. The seaman was inveigled into an infamous house, No. 1, Blacksmith's-arms-court, St. George's .in-the-East, where the prisoner occupied an apartment. He was hocussed, plundered, and turned into the street. He was found by a police constable in the street. stripped of everything, with the exception of his shirt. This occurred on Wednesday night, and the police have since endeavoured to trace the three infamous women who perpetrated the outrage and robbery, but have only been enabled to arrest the prisoner. The seaman deposed to being in her company, treating her with liquor, and going home with her. There were two other women there. He was well plied with liquor, and soon became insensible. He lost everything he had about him, The prisoner, on being taken into custody, said if she was not locked up she would find the sailor's watch, money, and clothes, and that two other girls had his things. Samuel Skipper, a police-constable, said the prisoner was a very hardened thief, and had been frequently in custody. The prisoner—l am as innocent as the baby just born. Mr. Partridge—l shall commit the prisoner for trial. I hope the police will not relax in their exertions to appre hend the other women concerned in the robbery. ANOTHER SAILOR PLUNDERED OF HIS HARD EARN INGS.—An Irishman, named Oliver Claney, his wife, Catherine, and his daughter, Julia, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a pocket-book con taining £3O, and papers, from William Johnson, a seaman. The prosecutor, a respectable and intelligent man, was boatswain of the ship Knight Bruce, and was paid off at Liverpool. He came to London on Saturday, and met with the prisoners, of whom he had some previous knowledge, on the same afternoon. He accompanied them to the Hoop and Grapes public-house, in Cable-street, and he had at that time a pocket-book containing three £lO Bank of Eng land notes, and the certificates of service and disoharge from captains of ships in which he sailed for 13 years, He was quite sober. Two women were in the same house. He remained in the Hoop and Grapes two hours. Soon after he left there lie missed his pocket-book. He was cer tain it was in his possession when the entered the house. He gave information to the police on Sunday morning. Mr. Partridge said it was much to be regret) ed he did not give information of his loss immediately, and he was sorry the sailors did not avail themselves of the Savings Banks in those excellent institutions, the Sailors' Homes in Wells-street and the East India-road, where they could deposit their money and receive interest for it, or draw it out when they required any. The notes were not found, of Course. _ _ A Police-constable—No, sir. Mr. Partridge—And I au afraid never will be. The seaman was questioned by the Magistrate, and said he employed the male prisoner to do a little job for him some time ago on his return from a former voyage. He wanted a key made for his chest on Saturday, and sent for him. Police-constable Samuel Skipper, 136 H, said that when he apprehended the prisoners yesterday they declared they knew nothing of the pocket-book and notes. The Claneys left the Hoop and Grapes at the same time as the prosecu tor. He went one way and the prisoners another. Mr. Partridge said them was no evidence to justify him in detaining the prisoners, and they must be discharged. They could be taken again if any more evidence was forth coming. He hoped the police would be able to trace the sailor's notes and papers. MARSETS -- This Day, HAY MARK2TS.

As the defendant was in the service of Lady Glamis, the plaintiff's solicitor proposed to call that lady, who was seated on the bench to the left of the judge, to give evidence as to the amount she paid the defendant. When Mr. Earle—the solicitor— mentioned the name of Lady Glamis, she s a id : What Mrs. Pitkin has said as to what I h ave paid her is quite correct. Mr. Earle required her ladyship to be sworn to give eviden ce on the point. Lady Glam is—l decline to tak e an oath ; what I have sa i d is right. Hi s Honour—The law prescribes a certain form in gi v i ng evidence, and all ranks of soc.ety, from the Que en upon the throne to her most humble subject, are expected to conform to the law. There is a provi sion made to meet the case of the people called Quakers and others who object to oaths on reli gious grounds. Do you belong to the Quakers ? Lady Glamis (smiling)—Oh, no, I am not a Quaker, and I do not object on any religious grounds; but I shall not take an oath on such a frivolous matter. His Honour—My lady, now be advised by me and be sworn. If you know nothing more on the mat ter than has been said, you can be sworn, and then say so. Lady Glamis—l am very firm ; I shall take no oath ; my word is as good as my oath. I think it would be a desecration, and taking God's name in vain in such a case. His Honour—Cer tainly the word of every good man ought to be as sacred as his oath ; but the law requires that evi dence should be given on oath, and I cannot take it otherwise. Mr. Earle—l certainly require that Lady Glamis should be examined in the way the law prescribes, and I am greatly surprised that she refuses. His Honour—l am not only surprised but grieved that your ladyship refuses to do what the law requires of you. You set a sad example to those in more humble stations in society, and I must beg of you to leave this court. Her ladyship imme diately left the court. CURIOUS CALCULATIONS. The simple interest of one cent, at 6 per cent. per annum, from the commencement of the Christian era to the close of the present year 1863, would be but the trifling sum of 11 dollars 17 cents and 8 mills ; but if the same principal, at the same rate and time, had been allowed to accumulate at com pound interest, it would require the enormous number of 84,840 billions of globes of solid guld, each equal to the earth in magnitude, to pay the interest, and if the sum were equally divided among the inhabitants of the earth, now estimated to be 1,000 millions, every man, woman, and child would receive 84,840 golden worlds for an inheritance. Were all these globes placed side by side in a direct line, it would take lightning itself, that can girdle the earth in the wink of an eye, 73,000 years to travel from end to end. And, if a Parrot gun were discharged at one extremity while a man was stationed at the other—light travelling 192,000 miles in a second ; the initial velocity of a cannon ball being about 1,500 feet per second, and in this case supposed to continue at the same rate; and sound moving through the atmosphere at 1,120 feet . in a second—he would see the flash after waiting 110,000 years ; the ball would reach him in 74 billions of years; but he would not bear the report till the end of 1,000 millions of centuries, Again, if all these masses of gold were fused into one prodigious ball, having the sun for its centre, it would reach out into space in all directions 1,732 millions 'of miles, almost reaching the orbit of Her schel or Uranus , and if the interest were continued till the end of the present century, it would entirely fill up the solar system, and even encroach 500 millions of miles on the do mains of the void between the planet Neptune, whose orbit, at the distance of 2,850 millions of miles from the sun, en circles our whole system of worlds. The present system of figures is ca led the Arabic method, but it should be more properly termed the Indian method, because it had its origin among the Hindoos of India, frem whom the Arabs learned it, and they in turn carried the art into Spain, where they proctised it during their long occupation of that country, The publication of their astronomical tables, in the form of almanacs, was the principal means of gradually spreading it abroad among the surrounding nations ; but so slow was the progress that it was not generally established until about the middle of the 16th century,—hew York Evening Post.

We allude to a survey which is now making for a railway designed to cross the Solway from near Annan to Bowness, thence to proceed along the shore to Morecambe Bay—the estuary of the rivers Waver and Wampool—which it will cress, and be the means of reclaiming about 600 acres of land, and will thence continue along the shore to Meryport, where it will form a junction with the Whi tehaven and Maryport Railway, and thus become a portion of another trunk line from the midland and Lancashire and Yorkshire districts to Annan, where it will be placed in connection with all the railway systems which traverse Scotland. A section of the Solway at its narrowest part, immediately opposite Annan, was taken on Monday, when it was found that, at a few feet below the overlying sand, there was a level plateau of tile or clay admirably adapted for the erection of works similar to those by which a railway has been successfully carried across Morecambe Bay on the Westmoreland and Lanca shire coasts,i and other places, by Mr. Bruilleesthe engi neer, who s the projector of the proposed r a ilw a y ' across the Solway.--Annan Observer. OLD ABE'S LAST.—A few weeks since a colonel was dismissed from the service by order of the Pre sident, upon charges of disloyalty. The colonel, feeling that he had been grossly misrepresented by malicious enemies, secured papers from a number of our Generals and other influential men, refuting the charges and requesting his reinstatement, and repaired to Washington to submit his case to the President. The papers were examined, an inter view was appointed, and the colonel found himself cordially received by the President, and informed that injustice had been done him, and that ho should be reinstated. The Pre sident then added, " Now, colonel, I know you to be one of my most bitter political opponents, but I propose to promote you to a brigadier-general provided you will allow me sully to test your loyalty beyond what papers you have produced. if you are a loyal man and a war democrat you can surely i no objection." The colonel, as a matter of course, feltthbagh.l.r. elated at this unexpected favour, and earnestly statedlat he was prepared to submit to any requirements calculated his loyalty, and expressed his delight in comp demand, since his Excellency has shown sucvniabie position.. him as to honour him with such an merry yoinfid w e i n th ee t h in e twinkle Well, colonel," replied Old Abe, as command of a danced in his eye, " I promote you rae y th ourself as loyal negro brigade, and I hope you wil ! u p r to the high trust to as you are represented, and di,oheli democracy of the colonel which you are assigned." ,raionncement, and, strach ntlith, h e replied—" Mr. President, was violently jarred at ing himself to his full I° .. je g ra ry pleasure you have conferred a ir castle of such extraordinary I thank you for the oak. swe eping it down with one stroke. me of building up 8. 71 and Oa" d u i p m on ensions, While I admire the joke, I most respectfully beg leave to d ec li n e serving any such damned capacity."—/few York /Jerald.
