MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The minimum of the Bank of England remains unaltered at 4 per cent. As already stated, that portion of the commercial community especially in terested in the affairs of the money market has found it necessary, during the past three days, to alter the opinion previously formed respecting an immediate advance in the rate of discount. With the disburse ment of the October dividends, and with the proba bility that the monetary requirements during the followin g wee k w ill not be extremely urgent, the Course which the directors have followed, while it 'will not create any surprise, may be regarded as indicative of a cautious and wise policy. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received by this mail on account of New Grenada dividends : —From the Custom-house of Barbacoas, £175 12s. 10d. ; from the San Jose de Cucuta, £95 14s. 2d. ; total, £271 7a. This is not the mail which brings the bulk of the remittances for these dividends. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.'s agents in Venezuela advise that they have received for 55 per cent. of the import duties for the two weeks from the Custom-house of La Guayra, 56,612 dols. No collection at Puerto Cabello advised by this mail. Intelligence has been received from Guayaquil that the Government of Ecuador has directed the suspension of the payment of the 25 per cent. of the duties of Customs appropropriated to the Foreign Debt, by an order from the Minister of Finance, dated Quito, Sept. 2. About £ll,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great W es t ern 1863. 1862.L62,549 £63,569 North-Western South -We s t ern 23,987 Great E as t ern 52,755 32,987 Midland South -Eastern 25,459 27,397 Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 34,074 32,050 North Eastern Bristol and Exeter llanchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 16,825 14,853 North British Edinburgh and Glasgow These returns are generally of a satisfactory charac ter.

At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 50c. Heavy and inanimate, An appearance of firmness pervades the market for English Stocks this morning, although very few and trifling are the movements. The con tinuance of the rate of discount at 4 per cent. has, no doubt, much contributed to this firmness. Consols are 93 / for money,: and 93/ 1 for the ac count.

MANSION HOUSE. ROBBERY IrY A CLERK,—Henry Thornton Tubbs, of 10, Cornwall-villas, Dalston, clerk in the firm of Messrs. Dalgetty, merchants, Gresham-street, was placed before Aldermen Abbis and Hale, charged with stealing a letter containing four £5 Bank of England notes, the property of his employer. It appeared that the prisoner, who was highly respect ably connected, was a clerk in the house of Dalgetty and Cc., and in that capacity, on the 29th of September, he re ceived a cheque for £2O from the chief clerk, who was a relative of one of the firm, with directions to proceed to the Bank and get it changed for 4 £5 Bank of England notes, which, after having taken the numbers, he was to place in the letter and leave in the usual manner for postage. The letter never reached its destination, and this occasioned some inquiries to be made at the General Post-office, when an officer was instructed to investigate the matter. He inquired at several jewel lers shops in Cheapsidc as to whether any £5 notes had been taken, and he then discovered that three notes had been changed in payment for a watch and chain, a ring and pin. On arriving at Messrs. Dalgetty's, the prisoner was questioned about the letter. He said he did not post it him self, as it was not his duty to do so. Ho was then asked whether he had recently purchased a watch, &c., when he replied that he had, and upon being further questioned as to whether he had paid for them in notes, he replied that he had, and eventually confessed to the robbery. Mr. Decroz, chief clerk to Messrs. Dalgetty, said he directed the prisoner to proceed to the bank and get a cheque cashed for £2O, which he was directed to enclose in a letter, and send as directed, in the usual manner. He saw the letter afterwards, directed in the prisoner's handwriting. The letter never: reaching its destination, an inquiry was made respecting it. The prisoner denied all knowledge of it, after he had directed and left it for the porter to convey to the Post-office, The prisoner was not suspected of the robbery, and remained in the employ of Messrs. Dalgetty till yesterday, when, in consequence of a communication from a detective officer, he was given into custody, The bank clerk proved the payment of the cheque for V.O in four five-pound notes of the corresponding numbers to those produced by the police. George Russell said he was a detective officer, and yes • terday he went to Meesrs. Dalgetty's, and saw the prisoner in the presence of his master, who handed the witness a silver watcb, a gold chain, a ring, and pin, and said the prisoner had given them to him, stating that they had been purchased with the stolen notes. Ho said to the prisoner, " You hear what your master says ; is that true ?' to which he replied "Yes." He was then taken into custody and charged with stealing a letter contain ing four five pound notes, the property of Messrs. Dalgetty and Co. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and at the prosecutor's wish it was disposed of summarily. Alderman A bbiss sentenced him to four months' im prisonment with hard labour. handed the bag of stolen wool to Vickers, who started off to Rosemary-lane, where there are so many receivers of stolen property. Mr. Prestige lost sight of Vickers in the lane, and immediately returned to the van, of which Gooch was in charge. Vickers soon returned with the bag empty. Mr. Prestige took it from him, and called the uolice to arrest both men. Gooch was taken on the spot. Vickers eluded the search made after him until Tuesday last when he was taken into custody by Uriah Haserly, a police-constable of the H division. He (Mr. C. Young) should now make out a complete case against him, and asked the magistrate to commit the prisoner for trial. Several witnesses were called by Mr. Young, who clearly made out the case against Vickers. It was also proved that 19 bales and three bags of wool were put into Messrs. Seaward's van on the 13th of August in good order, and that the bag when seized by Mr. Prestige contained frag ments of wool. The prisoner, who conducted himself in a most impudent manner, and frequently contradicted and abused the wit nesses, said he was quite innocent. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.

There was a full average supply of beasts on offer here today as to number, but the general condition of the stock was inferior. Most breeds changed hands slowly, at about Monday's currency. The extreme rate was 58 per Blbs. The show of sheep was only moderate, and most breeds were in fair request, at about stationary prices. The best Downs sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. No quotable change took place in the value of calves, but the inquiry for them was inactive. For the time of year pigs met a dull sale, at late rates. Milch cows were almost nominal in value.

Murchison, dated " Murchi son Cataracts (on the Shire), April 25," Dr. Living ston says—" With sorrow I have to communicate the sad intelligence that Mr. Richard Thornton died on the 21st current. He performed a most fatiguing journey from this to Tette and back again, and that seemed to use up all his strength, for, thereafter, he could make no exertion without pain ful exhaustion. His object was to connect his bearings of the hills at Tette (on the Zambesi) with the mountains here. I knew nothing of his re solution till after he had left. He had resolved to go home after he had examined Z miloo, and the Melanje range, but on the 11th he was troubled with diatrbcei, which ran on to dysentery and fever. We hoped to the last that his youth and unimpaired constitution would carry him through, as he had suffered comparatively little from fever, hut we were dit , appointer.'. An insidious delirium prevented us learning aught of his last wishes. All his papers, &c., were at once sealed up, and are sent home to his brother at Bradford. He is buried about 500 yards from the foot of the first cataract, and on the right bank of the Shire." After allud ing to the depopulation of the valley, and the pro bability of his being obliged to take to pieces the steamer, and screw her together, with the view of a sale,Dr. Livingstonthus concludes :—" Dr. Kirk and Mr. Charles Livingston now go home. The scene of desolation around us reacts on my health badly."— In a letter to the Times, Sir R. Murchison says : o Earnestly hoping that the great South African e xplorer may now come home to his motherless Children and numerous friends, and not expose his valuable life to further risks, I must, in justice to the memory of young Richard Thornton, say a few words upon his labours, in anticipation of what may result from the publication of the papers he has left behind him. Educated in the Royal School of Mines, an d greatly distinguished by the professors under w hom he studied, he was much attracted by the ex ploits of Dr. Livingston, antl, having volunteered to g °out a 8 the geologist and topograph er o f th e second ex pedition of my eminent friend, I had no hesitation i n recommending him for that purpose. After ma ki n g plans and sketching maps of the banks of t h e Zambesi, illustrated by geolo g ical ob servat i ons and sections, he quitted the Livingston expedition, and repaired eventually to Zanzibar, with a view Lf extending his surveys in equatorial Africa. There he fortunately met with the energetic Hanoverian the Baron C. v on d er D ec k en , w ith w h om traveller, h e passed into the mainland, and ascended the flanks of the lofty, snow-capped mountain Kilimanjaro, making maps of this equatorial region, accompa nied by geological no t es , A t the close o f t h at ad venture he wrote to me, unfolding the desire he fe lt to traverse Africa from east to west, and thus determine the true physical structure of the centre an d flanks of the southern map of the great conti nent. In the meantime, returning to his original duties on the Zambesi, to correlate his observations in the two eastern regions which he had examined, he has fallen a victim to the treacherous climate, w hi c h had previously carried off, in too rapid suc cession, the good Bishop Mackenzie and his arch deacon, as well as the e xemp l ary an d d evote d w if e of Livingston. ', BOW-STREET. A SAD CASE OF DESTITUTION.--A little girl, about 12 years of age, named. Mary Ann Leech, was charged before Mr. Hall with begging. _ _ One of the officers of the Mendicity Society said for the last two or three years he had known the child to be about the streets, but he had never seen her beg and fellow people until yesterday, when he took her into custody. She ap peared very ill, and had scarcely any clothing on. He asked where she lived, when she told him her mother and father were both dead, and that ever since that she had had to walk about the streets, and sleep, and get a little to eat the beat way she could. Mr. Hall said it was a shocking thing to see a poor child in such a condition, and asked whero she slept last night. The child said in Old Pye-street, Westminster. Some time ago a good lady took her to the workhouse, in York street, where they took her in, but turned her out the next morning. She had not a friend or relative in the world. She felt very sick and ill, having had nothing to eat for a long time. Mr. Hall then sent for the relieving-officer of the Strand Union, and having explained to him the circumstances of the case, he instantly took the child to the Union, in order that its pressing necessities might be immediately attended to, and some inquiry made into the real facts attending its expulsion. from the workhouse at Westminster. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DEFRAUDING WEST-END TRADESMEN.—WiIIiam H. Palmer, a young man, who was taken into custody at Guernsey, by Sergeant Joy 9 C, was charged before Mr. Knox, with obtaining some lace of the value of £7 from Mr. Septimus Augustus Whitfield and others, laceman, of 142, New Bond-street, by fraudulent means. William Henry Painter, assistant to Messrs. Whitfield and Co, said that on the 27th of May last, the prisoner called and asked for some lace, stating that he was sent by Mr. Roche (a customer). He (witness) then communicated with Mr. Septimus Augustus Whitfield, one of the firm, who told him to let the prisoner have the lace, and he then gave him eight pieces of the value of £7, and the prisoner took it away with him and also the invoice. Mr. Knox said it would be necessary on another occasion to have Mr. Whitfield present, as it was Mr. Whitfield who had ordered the assistant to let the prisoner have the goods, believing that he came from Mr Roche. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said that he received information in May last, that the prisoner had obtained goods from Messrs. Whitfield and Co., and other,West-end tradesmen, by frau dulent means. He traced the prisoner to Jersey and Guern soy, and on Monday last succeeded in apprehending hint at the latter place. On telling the prisoner that he was a police officer, and that he had a warrant to take hint into custody for defrauding Messrs. Whitfield and Co., and others, at the west end of the town, he replied, " Yes, it's all right, my name is Palmer. I certainly have done it, and it is all through horse-racing, for I have lost from five to seven hundred pounds in horse-racing. I was in hopes before this that I might have been enabled to pay all the tradesmen I have defrauded." Mr. Knox said he supposed some one from Mr. Roche would be in attendance. Sergeant Joy said there would be, and that there were several other cases against the prisoner. Mr, Knox remanded the prisoner. _ _ _ ANOTHER CASE.—Elizabeth Hensley, formerly house keeper to Mr. Spode, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, was charged with obtaining money, and also endeavouring to obtain some curtains by false pretences from Messrs. Sewell and Cross, Compton House, Compton-street, Soho, From the evidence of Henry Flanders, warehouseman to Messrs. Sewell and Cross, it appeared that on the 9th of June last the prisoner went to the shop in a state of great excitement and apparent grief, stating that she was house keeper, to Mr. Spode, of Rugeley, Staffordshire (a customer of the firm), and that she had been robbed of her purse on her arrival at the London station of the Birmingham Rail way. As Mr, Spode was a customer of the house, Mr. Hubbard, one of the firm, asked the prisoner, as she had no money, whether a sovereign would assist her, at the same time advising her to write to Mrs. Spode, acquainting her with her misfortune. The prisoner said 30s. would be better, and the money being handed to her she then sat down and wrote a letter to Mrs. Spode, telling her of the misfortune she had met wich, and begging Mrs, Spode to write to her by return of post. After some conversation with the assis tants the prisoner suddenly recollected that Mrs. Spode had told her to select some curtains, and some being shown the prisoner, she chose curtains to the amount of £25, ordering them to be sent to Mrs. Spode. The goods were sent, and then the prisoner's fraud was discovered. Mr. Knox said there was no doubt that all the prisoner had said about the curtains was to cover the affair of the 30s. Mr. Sharratt, steward to Mr. Spode, said that the pri soner left Mr. Spode's service in April last year. Butcher, 137 C, deposed to taking the prisoner into cus tody at Birmingham yesterday, on her leaving the borough gaol, when she said she was sorry for what she had done. There was another charge against the prisoner for a similar offence at a fishmonger's in Oxford-street. Remanded. THAMES. CAUGHT AT LAST.—ROB➢ERY OF WOOL,—Henry Vickers, a carman, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 141bs. of wool, the property of Messrs, Gooch and Cousens, wool- merohants and brokers, of Loudon•wall, and sent enced ):tnhlvreste:hpvr eerowhionoitshslleoes3ocet arhunhhtweti Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, which he said was one of a very important description.

EXCURSIONS FROM FRANCE TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE and back in one day at this season of the yoar I It is a tremendous distance for a day's pleasure, but had it been mid June instead of October the idea would have been enticiug to the novelty-hunting French. The LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON remarked that those who were fond of field sports, hunting, racing, and shooting, always made the best cavalry officers, as the pur suit of these manly exercises gave them activity, nerve, and quicksightedness, in addition to rendering them healthy, and capable of enduring great fatigue. The Dusselclorj Ga:ette announces the receipt of a letter from the Count de Spee, councillor, acting in the absence of the sub-prefect, in which he says that, in consequence of the warning which was rendered necessary by the attitude taken by that journal, it has ceased to be the organ of official publications, and may now cease to send gratuitously to the various burgomasters the copies of each number which were hitherto obligatory. The Princess-Regent of Reuss-Greiz hasjust for bidden any kind of rejoicings within her princi pality in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Leipsick. A committee had already been formed to deli berate on the details of the fete, when an ordinance ap peared forbidding in a most absolute manner the perform ance of any religious service, the firing of salvoes of artil lery, or the lighting of bonfires on the mountains on the occasion. The Avvenire of Naples states that three priests were tried on the Bth instant at Salerno, on a charge of being abettors of brigands. One of the pri soners, named Alfonso Oristano, was condemned to hard labour for life ; the other two, Curtazzo and De Marco, to 20 years of the same punishment. JOHN BUN YAN'S FLUTE !—The flute with which John Bunyan beguiled the tediousness of his captive hours is now in the possession of Mr. Howell, tailor, Gains borough. In appearance it is not unlike the leg of a stool —out of which, it is said, Bunyan, while in prison, manu factured it. When the turnkey, attracted by the sound of music, entered his cell, the flute was replaced in the stool, and by this means detection was avoided. VIOLENT STORM.—Truro, Tuee•day Afternoon.— Last night various parts of Cornwall were visited by one of the fiercest gales of wind that are remembered to have prevailed during a long period. A stiff braze com menced in the morning, and gradually developed itself into a perfect hurricane. Rain, too, poured down in torrents. This morning the weather is calmer, although we have had a high wind, in addition to rain, and heavy peals of thun der. Reports from various quarters speak of considerable damage to house property that has been effected. At 235 p.m. the wind appears to be again rising, Reports from Falmouth state that her Majesty's ship Russell, GO guns, Commander Grenfell, was oriven from her moorings across the bars, where she now remains.

The Opinione of Turin gives the following par ticulars of the ordinary and extraordinary Italian Budget for 18d4: — "The Minister of Finance, according to the law of the 2Sth of July, 1863, h as presented to the President of the Chamber of Deputies the tables of the changes proposed for 1864. The budget proposed to the Parliament for 1863 amounted for ordinary expenses to 772,419,000 fr., to which must be added 35 , 716,000 for the interest of the loan issued ma ki n g a total of 808,135,000 f. , The Chamber reduced that amount to 780,258,000 francs, or by about 27 millions. The Cham ber, in approving of that Budget even for 1864, imposed fresh saving s to the amount of 900,000 francs, but did not by so doing deprive the Mi nistry of the right of making ulterior propo sitions. The Ministry fulfilled the first part of its mandate by the Royal decree of the 30th of August, it now performs the sec ond by p ropos i ng ot h er saving for the sum o f 19,605,000 francs, which fixes the total amount of the reductions indicated by the Ministry for 1864, to 24 ,500,000 tr, on the ordinary expenses, end will make an economy of more than 45 millions realised on those expenses in two years, Without having in any way in fringed on the orgaL'ic laws. This result evidently shows that when the . Nlinister of Finance an nounced the possibility of effecting an economy of 100 millions on the Budget peesented by his pre. decessors, he stated what was feasible. As to the extraordinary Budget, the su, ll of 190,380,000 francs was proposed for 1863, which sum was reduced by the Parliament to 163,032,000 fr. The Budget for ;1864 is now proposed at 124,106,000 f., and the Budget for that year presents_ when compared with that voted. for 1863, a saving of 63,430,000 tn, and with that, of 1862, 118,155,0001. Letter from the Southern States. We h a ve received a letter, dated Wilmington, September 11, from which we make the following extracts :-- „ R a ilway transportation is exceedingly difficult to procure, the roads and rolling stock are in a most miserable condition, the greatest speed attain able is 14 or 15 miles an hour, and the filthy state of those cars set asid e f or passengers is perfectly distressing to our sense of order.

You read and hear a great deal about the subject, but in order to arrive at anything like an op i n i on you must be amongst and converse with them.

I heard a n instance of th e h uman i ty of these " same Christianising Abolitionists the other day, in Charleston, from the lips of one of the niggers captured during the assault on battery Wagner, on the ISth July.

CURIOUS CHARGE OF FELONY. —Yesterday, at Manchester, a respect ably dressed woman, named Mary Knowles, residing at Bolton, was charged with stealing a purse contaising £2, from Mary Henson. The prosecutrix stated that about three weeks ago the prisoner came to her shop, at Gerald.. street, Pendleton, and produoed a grocer's pass-book, and asked if it was hers. She replied that it was not, but that she would be more likely to find an owner for it than the prisoner, and she then left it with her. The prisoner asked if she would make a cup of tea for her and a friend, who, it was subsequently found, was her son. The prosecu trix said that she did not generally make tea for strangers. but would do so to oblige her. Th e y had tea, and after her maining some time they left. After the prisoner h a h she son were gone, the prosecutrix mis sed her purse, wic believed she had in her pocket, and immediately instituted inquiries respecting the prisoner. Her residence ,whaosiamscmore„ - tained, and a police constable apprehended her. diately produced a purse,which she ga ve to the police con stable, and which contained a sum of money of the satne amount as that which the proaecutrix had missed. She said that atter leaving the prOsectitril ' S house she found, on arriving at the railway station, she had another purse besides her own in her pocket, and she did not know to whom it belonged.—The prisoner stated that she respectable situation. lvsa w as a rag dealer at Bolton, and her husba who mec hanic, had been in his p resent situation 14 years , ller so n was also a me chanic, filling a she came to Manchester to make some purchases, and in the course of the day she visited 20 or 30 shops.

I i Business done 107 61 1071 8 23 a a 77 5a 1081 101 f The late Marshal Connt d'Ornano. In our yesterday's impression appeared a brief telegraphic despatch —" Marshal d'Ornano is dead." The late distinguished Marshal Philip An tony, Count d'Ornano, was not one of the great Napoleon's marshals, but he was the last surviving general of division ; and furthermore, he had the honour of being allied to the imperial house. Mar shal d'Ornano was burn at Ajaccio, in the island of Corsica, on the 17th of January, 1781, so that he was in his 80th year. He was the son of Louis d'Ornano, colonel of the Natioeal Guard of Corsica, by one Isabella Bonaparte. At the age of sixteen he was appointed sub-lieutenant in the 9th Dra goons, served in the war in Italy, was aide-do-camp to General Leclerc at the expedition to St. Domingo, and was confirmed in his rank of captain given him for his bravery by Genera! Berthi er. He was ap pointed commander of the Corsican Chasseurs, and seized several cannon at Austerlitz, D.:cember 2, 1805; distinguished himself at the storming of Lubeck and at Jena (1806), and was nominated colonel and commander of the 25th Dragoons. 'folding this rank he served in Prussia, in Poland, in Spain, in Portugal, and was repeatedly mentioned in despatches, In 1809 the colonel was remarkable for his exploit in forcing his passage of the river towards Alba-da-Tornes, near Salamanca, when his prowess enabled Gen. Keller mann to gain an easy victory over the Spanish forces. He increased his fame at Ciudad Rodrigo, and at Fuentes D'Onor charged the cavalry with such ardour and intrepidity that he was named on the spot general of brigade. As general in command of the brigade of light cavalry, in the unlucky expe dition to Russia, Gen. d'Ornano specially distin guished himself at the passage of Niemen, at Mohi low, and at Ostrowna, in 1812. After the battle of Moskowa he was named general of division. When in command of the 7th Regiment of cavalry, he bore the brunt of the attack of Hetman Platow, at the head of 10,000 men. Under Ney he did good ser vice, especially at Mahn .Taroslavitz (Oct. 4, 1812), where with 17,000 men he beat back 80,000 of the enemy with such energy and spirit that the Em peror Napoleon, when going over the field of battle on the morrow of the fight, did not hesitate to award the honours of the battle to PrinceEngene and Gen. d'Ornano. The general was left for dead on the fatal field of Krasnoi, and owed his life to the de votion of his men, and to the kindly attentions of the Emperor himself, who nominated him when re covered, Jan. 21, 1813, Commander of the Imperial Dragoons, at whose head he served in Saxony against the coalesced forces of Russia and Prussia. On the death of Bessieres, the general was ap pointed general of the cavalry of the Guard, and was at the battles of Dresden, Bautzen, Leipsig, and Hanau. In January, 1814, he took the com mandership-in-chief of all the troops of the Imperial Guard—cavalry, infantry, and artillery ; he helped to defend Paris, but not all his devotion could save the fall of the Empire. Under the first Restoration we find him in command of a regiment of dragoons of the Guard, then called the " royal" corps. Daring the memorable Hundred Days he took ser vice again under his old chief, but a severe wound prevented him from being at Waterloo. After this battle, General d'Ornano was arrested during the trial of Marshal Ney, and conducted a l'abbaye. Two years later he was set at liberty, but his relation to the Bonaparte family caused en forced retirement for some time at Brussels. In 1828 after his return home he was appointed inspec tor of cavalry and president of the committee which determined the admissions to St. Cyr. In 1830 he received the command of the 4th military division ; with great energy and tact he managed to put a stop at once to the emeute in the western part of France in 1832. Loais Philippe, in return for his services, gave him a peerage. After the revolution of 1848 the count refused the command of the 14th military division, and retired into private life. But he was returned to the constituent and legislative assembly for the department of the Indre-et-Loire, and held moderate views. He was appointed Senator, Jan. 20, 1852 ; Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, on 13th August following; Governor of the luvalides on March 24, 1853; and Marshal of France, after 50 years' service, on April 2, 1861. He was ap pointed one of the executors of the first Napoleon's will, and received his baton when, as Governor of the Invalides, he received the ashes of that per sonage on their being transferred from the Chapel of St. Jerome to the granite tomb in the Invalides. As guardian of the holy tomb, the Governor of the Invalides holds a high position, and the office is one of those most coveted by French generals. The veteran marshal expired on Monday, after a brief illness. His Majesty the Emperor took the greatest interest in the health of his high-minded friend and relative. Ho went to the Hotel des In valides a day or two back, and was received by the son of the marshal, Rodolphe Count d'Otranto. The dying marshal kissed his Majesty's hand, and thanked the Emperor for coming and paying him that farewell visit. "For, sire," said he, "we shall not meet again except in haven. The Emperor, much moved, replied—" I shall not say farewell, but au reroir. I shall come again soon." The Arch bishop of Paris administered the last sacraments to the marshal, and he died in peace, and without much pain. Ho married, in 1816, the Countess Leezynska, widow of the Count Anastase de Colonna Walews.ki (mother of Count Walewaki), and b y her, who died prematurely in December, 1817, he had issueason, Rodolphe Augusta Count d'Orn ano, born at Liege, iu June, 1817. This son was educated at the Col lege of Louis le Grand, and at a school preparatory to the College of Saint Cyr. At 18 he was attached to the French Legatio n at Dresden; but his inti macy with Prince Louis N a poleon, which after wards was of service to him i under the second Empire, caused h im to be releved, under Louis Philippe, from his diplomatic functions. He retired to Toaraine, and published " Les Tourangelles," 'Les Napolconiennes," "Les Echos d'Espagne," and other works, had a considerable share in " I es Francais peints par eux names, " and became a member of several learned societies. He sulase quently travelled in Corsica, Italy, and S vitzerland, and visited at Arenenberg the present French Em peror, then in exile. He was appoi n t e d P re f ec t o f t he Yonne in 18 51 ; was appointed representative of the department in the Corps Legislatif a short time afterwards, and became subsequently Chamber lain and .Master of the Ceremonies to the Emperor. He was strongly in opposition to the stockjobbing scandals of 1857, in spite of his position at Court. He is an officer of the Legion of Honour, and has received the Order of Malta. His work of 1860, " On the Administration of the Empire,' is a mas terly one, and had a great sale. He married in 1845 a daughter of the Marquis Vorger d'Are.enson Napoleon d'Ornano, a cousin of Count Rod b Pol he's . wa s an officer of the 3d Dragoons, joined ' Louis Na poleon was tried by the Peers, and in England,im prisoned at Doullens, and died Inspector of the I m perial Palace at Vi c - sur - A i sne Dec 2 18 59. METROPOLITAN MAIN DRAINAGE.—If we ob serve a contour map of London, we shall see the irregularities and undulations of its surface are not alto gether devoid of a certain method and order, and in the main resolve themselves into the general valley of the Thames, like the sloping sides of a double roof towards a central gutter. It is evident that, if we allow the sewage to flow laterally down from the highest slopes into a central main drain, running through the entire length and median line of the metropolis like an under-ground river parallel with the Thames, we should require a culvert of enormous size, size, to provide not only for the sewage, but the rain-fell the the whole district, and that the hydraulic pressure ti t P e o ns L , masonry of the culverts would be of the highest 8, l" risky while the liability to aceident would be of the _7lO t, the character. The more, then, we can divid!atody: to o rry smaller the streams of sewage the drains will v7 hen there are and the less the danger from sudden floods by. Hence the several channels for the w stars to run o we wished to stop principle of intercepting drainage. If f ee central gully, two the run of water from our roofs o re or less diagonally along or three smaller gutters placed nior s the water flowing down their sides would arrest at intervals fell on the different their slopes, and convey tha s t e other, in separate streams to areas, thus isolated from _ea° into the streets.

Oct. 15, 1853. Terrific Explosion at the Chartered Gas Works at Westminster. SEVERAL PERSONS SERIOUSLY BURNED. This (Thursday) forenoon the inhabitants of the Horse. ferry-road were thrown into a state of the most painful ex. citement owing to a loud and rumbling noise proceeding from the immense pile of premises known as the Chartered Gas Works, situate in the before-named thoroughfare. In an instant hundreds of the inhabitants rushed out of their houses in Marsham-street, the main road, and also in Medway-street, the houses in each street being in such proximity to the factory that the residents were appre hensive that their habitations would be blown down, as it was imagined that somo of the immense gas-holders, which tower high above the surrounding dwellings, would blow up, Fortunately such did not occur, but the circumstances attending the affair are of a most lamentable nature, and it is feared that the injuries received by some of the workmen employed by the com pany will disable them from resuming their emplcyment for a considerable time, and in two or three cases it is expected that they cannot recover from the burns they have received. On inquiry made at the works it was with great diffi culty that any information as to the cause of the disaster could be obtained, but one of the men employed on the works stated that 'whilst the work people were engaged putting down a new pipe in the yard, or repairing it, a largo plug suddenly flew out and allowed the gas to rush out in immense volumes, to the extent of several thousand cubic feet per second, In the space of a minute or so great number of the men became encircled in fire, their clothing becoming ignited, and the flames attacking their arms and faces with full vigour. Several men rushed to the works and turned off the gas, and the poor fellows were extricated, and the fire about their clothes was extin guished. Mr. Pearce, surgeon, and other medical gentle. men, attended, but eight or nine of the poor fellows were so frightfully burned that they were obliged to be removed to the Westminster Hospital, where everything was done for them that humanity or surgical skill could devise, but they still remain in a precarious state. - Whether the pipe had been bladdered or not is not known. This pipe, it seems, leads to the retort-house, and hence the violence of the ex. plosion.
