ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alter a ti on i s no ti ca bl e thi s morn i ng i n_ the appearance of the Discount Market. Money is again in active request, bankers and bill brokers exact full terms for all the business they negotiate, except for very short dated first-class paper, and the inquiries at the Bank of Eng:and continue litterous. The equality of the rate out of doors 'with the official minimum enables the authorities to secure the larger number of bills brought forward, and this fact is established by the Bank Return published list evening, showing an increase of £308,869 in the other securities. The Bank of England return, completed for the Week to Wednesday last, is of rather an unfavour able character. The other securities have been in creased, in consequence of the close approximation of the rates in the open market to that of the official minimum, and the bullion, notwithstanding the recent and large influx, has been diminished by X 28,728. The other deposits are also less. The psblic deposits, however, owing to the active col lection of the revenue, have been increased by X 919,981.

The New York, from New York, has brought X 35,119. Daring the last few days there has been rather less activity exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Limited dealings have taken place in tea, at about previous rates, while coffee, Sugar, and rice have, in some instances, been rather Cheaper. In the tallow mullet full rates have been current for P.Y.C., for both present and forward delivery. The directors of the Joint Stock Discount Com pany have resolved to augment the capital in con sequence of the largely increasing business lately e xperienced. Forty thousand additional shares of £25 each are to be issued at £1 per share premium, end to be distributed pro rata to the proprietors, subject to the payment of £2 per share on or before the 13th proximo, £2 on the 19th November, and A: 2 per share on the 23d December next.

About twenty years since there was discovered, in the Rue Argen teuil, the house in which Corneille died. An inscription was placed in the court-yard, engraved on a black marble tablet, stating that Pierre Corneille died there the lst of October, 1684. THE CHEER,AFTER "THE ALMA"—From the recol lection of an officer engaged at it.—On the farthest heights, about a mile and a half from the Alma, the Bri tish troops ceased their pursuit ; and then arose such a cheer !---a cheer from 20,000 victorious men I—even some of the poor wounded fellows joined in it. I shall never forget that cheer as long as I live—it was, indeed, thrilling. I almost pitied the fallen enemy —it must have been so gal ling to them ; as I heard a man of the Guards say to a com rade, " I say, Bill, pleasant for them poor devils (pointing to some wounded Russians) hearing our chaps cheer so." The men were tired, and many almost exhausted for want of water. Lord Raglan rode up and down the line of troops, the men cheering him vociferously. There was such a shaking of hands. Ono felt very choky about the throat, and very much inclined to cry, as one wrung the hand of a friend, and " God bless you, old fellow 1---so glad to see you all right!" and like expressions, were heard on every side between brother officers. It was a touching sight to see the meeting between Lord Raglan and Sir Colin Camp bell—the late Lord Clyde. The latter was on foot, as his horse had been killed in the earlier part of the action. He went up to his lordship, and, with tears in his eyes, shook hands, saying it was not the first battle field they had won he mi g ht b e a ll owe d together. and that now he had a favour t o as k , namely, that to os claimhisthe Highlanders privilege well,odfonweeasoringa Scottish bonnet. To this Lord Raglan, of course, gave a smili ng assent ; and, had after a few more words of friendship on both sides, they parted to their several duties. ELEGANT ENGLISH : being a specimen extract from Davis's diary, descriptive of M'Kinlay's Aus tralian Expedition :—June 21, 1862, between Stuart's Creek 'and the River Burdekin, in North-east Australia. Here we go I three more horses left behind, Go it, ye cripples! So that we don't have to walk it won't signify; bu if we go on as we are doing now, burning the candles at both ends—i.e., eating the camels and horses, and leav ing them behind—and with nothing else to depend on for grub. we shall soon be in serious difficulty. It won't do to be wrecked in sight of home; so, lads, cheer up, and keep your peckers ditto; that's the way to pull through a diffi culty; and when we are on the last horse, it will be time enough then to thiak of going to David Jones, Esq., and he will have a nice lot if he gets us. One of the camels seems very CD, he had to be thrashed to get him on, THE FRENCH ARMY, now 412,000 strong, is thus distributed :—ln Mexico, two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry, about 34,000; in Cochin China, 1,600 (the above being on the war footing); in Rome, about 20,000. The army of Paris consists of three divisions of infantry and one of cavalry; of Lyons, two divisions of in fantry and one of cavalry ; and four regiments of cavalry are at Lunevilie. These armies are estimated at 40,000 men. The Imperial Guard, together with the Turcos and the Spahie, 30,000 men. The remainder of the French army is distributed in six great corps, five in Franco and one in Algeria. THE MANILLA CHEROOT MANUFACTURE—De. scribed by Madame Anna d'A. in her new work, " A Lady's Visit to Manilla and Japan."—The building is very extensive, covering 6 acres, in a quarter of the town called Binondo, and was erected about the year 1782. They employ in this establishment 10,000 women, and 300 men, the wages of each being 30 cents. per day. As they have no machinery, all is done by manual labour; and to us, so used to the former in Europe, the latter process seemed slow. The building contains four galleries, each being divided into two or three compartmen.s. You walk down the middle of these galleries, where at long low tables on each side, the women work, seated upon mats placed on the ground. The noise is very deafening, for each female is provided with a atone, about the side of a large lemon, with which she beats the leaves continually, reminding one of cooks beating beef-steaks. When the " coat" is thus pre pared, they put a quantity of small chopped up tobacco in the centre, a little gum on one edge, and;then 101 l it very adroitly till it assumes the desired form, after which the small end is neatly tapered off. TREASURE TROVE.—Oue hundred and two gold coins of the 15th century have just been found in pulling down an old house at Saint-Pol-de-LEon (Fini stere). These pieces were struck, some at Nantes and some at Rennes, and all bear the effigy of Francis, Duke of Brittany, in armour, on horseback, with the inscription, Franciscus Dei gratia Britanum dux; on the reverse is a cross on an emine field, with the words, Deus, in adjuto. rium meson intende. Each coin is of the size of a two franc piece. All are in a good state of preservation. DIPLOMATIC EMISSARIES.—According to the Czas, Air. Lawrence Oliphant, the well-known author and British diplomatist, and the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, private secretary to Lord Palmerston, have arrived at Cracow. The Southampton papers record the death of Lieutenant Hast, R.N., for many years the commodore of the Royal Wcist India Nail Company's fleet. PREFERENCE SHARES. Great Eastern, E. Counties, Ext.

MANSION-HOUSE. Samuel Leman was placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with obstructing the footway in Princes-street, Bank. Police-constable 433 said the prisoner was standing with his basket of walnuts on the pavement in Princes-street, and, as h 9 refused to go away when directed, he took him to the station-house. Defendant—Yes, and spilt all my walnuts. I wasn't obstructing the pavement. I'd just put my basket down on the kerb to rest when this gentleman comes up and takes me into custody. The Lord Mayor—What have you to say to the charge? Defendant—What am I to do, sell walnuts or steal? 1 try to get an honest living, and should do so if it was not for the police. They drive us about Ike dogs. Tho Lord Mayor—But you have no right to cause an obstruction at that particular place. Another constable informed his lordship that the boys in Princes btreet did something more than sell their walnuts. Many of them were regular thieves, and gave the office to their companions, who were engaged in picking pockets, that the officers were watching them. Defendant—Have I ever done so ? I knew I've been a bad boy, but you know it's never too late to mend, and I'm trying to get on honestly; but—(laughter)—one can't do that if the police is to drive us about. The Lord Mayor—•l shall only inflict a small fine of 35., but if you come here again I'll not let you off so easy. TIIII SON. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1863. SCINDE RAILWAY COMPANY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The 15th half-yearly meeting cf this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; W. P. Andrew, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The report stated that there had been a gradual increase and development of the traffic in every description of goods for the past half-year, fully bearing out former anticipa tions. The average gross receipts of the half-year ending June 30 last amounted to £2,016 per week, being an average weekly increase of £640, 0r.£16,683 for the half-year preceding. The revenue account for the half year ending Dec. 31, 1862, has been submitted to Government, from which it will appear that, after deducting working expenses and maintenance, the receipts yielded a net return of £7,141 ss. 10d. The receipts per mile were about £360 Os. 33., and the expenditure £292, leaving a sum of LOS Os. 3d. per mile to be carried to the credit of the net revenue account, in part liquidation of the interest advanced by Government. Major Malcolm, in his report to Government in March last, stated that "mating allowance for the steady increase of traffic which may be reasonably expected to continue, there are fair grounds for hoping that within two years of the pesent time the Scinde Railway may return 5 per cent. plus an annually increasing contribution towards the re payment of the guaranteed interest allowed up to that date by the State to the shareholders." Prior to 1862, a bale of cotton in transit was rarely seen upon the Indus. Bet a considerable supply of this article is being received from the Punjaub. The value of the cotton exported for the past year was Rs. 1,43,93,483, or about £1,319,402 12s. 2d. Indian Branch Railway Company. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The second ordinary meeting of the directors and share holders in this undertaking was held to-day at the London Tavern. The report, which was adopted, stated that the opening of the Nulhatee line had been delayed, from the roadway which the Government undertook to deliver to the company sot having been originally provided with suffi. cient openings tocarry off the flood waters of the district; the Government undertook to supply the additional waterway required, but the non-completion of one of the principal bridges had up to Aug. 1 prevented the closing in of the line. The chief engineer, however, expected to get a train through at a very early day, and then a telegram would be sent to the board. This announcement is daily expected. Arrangements had been made with the Government for extending the Nulhatee line 8} miles to Bogwan gola, a port on the Gauges, and the road which the Government had to make and deliver to the company was reported in May last as in a forward state. All (or nearly all) the materials of the permanent way, locomotives, &c., for the extension had been shipped for Calcutta : there was, therefore, every prospect that the whole of this branch line might be opened for permanent traffi3 by the middle of next year. The negotiations with the Government of India for the concession of the whole system of railway lines in Oudh. and Rohilkund were pro gressing satisfactorily.

A young man named Wilson was brought before Mr. Alderman Besley, charged with uttering counterfeit coin. Mrs. Stevens, the widow of a licensed victualler, carry ing on business in Bartholomew-close, said the prisoner came into her house yesterday, and, having asked for half a pint of beer, put down the bad half-crown. Detective Smith, of the City police, said he happened accidentally to be taking a glass of stout when the prisoner tendered the money. He questioned him as to how be be came possessed of the money. and not receiving any satis factory answer took him into custody. As he was proceeding with him to the station-house he passed throgh Little Bri tain, where another publican, who was standing at his door, said he had taken some counterfeit half-crowns the day be fore, which, on comparing, were found to be from the same mould as that from which the one tendered at Mrs. Stevens's hud been made. The prisoner said he had received the coin amongst the money he had had for wages where he was employed. Smith said the prisoner gave the address in the New North-road, but he neither knew the name of the person who kept the house or the number. Remanded for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY.—AIfred Morris, 8, Upper Rupert-street, John M'Mahon, 5, South-row, and William Byrne, 6, Carnaby-street, all tailors, and M'Mahon and Byrne having been previously convicted, were charged before Mr. Knox with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. Swallow, licensed victualler, 22, Berwick street, Soho, on the 21st of September, and stealing several articles and money to the amount of £lO. There was a second charge against M'Mahon of being concerned with another not in custody in stealing at 56, Wardour-street, several articles of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. Samuel, licensed victualler. Only sufficient evidence was given to justify a remand, but it appears that entrance to Mr. Swallow's house, the Blue Posts, Berwick-street, was gained by means of a low wall, and the property carried off. Remanded. WESTMINSTER. DISTRESSING POSITION OF A HUSBAND AND FATHER. —A man, of gentlemanly appearance and address, who appeared overwhelmed with grief, addressing the magis trate, said that he had to solicit his advice under circum stances of a most painful description. He regretted to say that his wife was utterly given over to drink, and that his two young children were not only grossly neglected, but were endangered by her common and repeated intoxication. This unhappy state of things had been going on for three years, and threatened inevitable beggary, as she took out everything that could be disposed of to indulge her un happy propensity, and applicant was most anxious to have the magistrate's advice as to the course he had better pursue. Mr. Arnold—lt is really very distressing, but I have no power to help you. Applicant—l really cannot live with her any longer ;if I do, we must all soon become chargeable to the parish. Cannot you make an order for her admission into the work house ? I would there maintain her. Mr. Arnold—l cannot. I have no jurisdiction in the matter. Applicant—Will you kindly favour me with your advice ? Mr. Arnold—As a magistrate I cannot, but, as a man of the world, I should recommend you to separate from her, and to allow her a separate maintenance. Applicant—She is not in a state of mind to make any at rangement. ... Mr. Arnold—lt is a sad case, but I fear not an un common one. Applicant—Pardon me if I inquire upon another head. The consequence of her continual drunkenness is that her conduct is perfectly childish; she does not know what she is about. Mr. Arnold—lf you can obtain the certificate of a medical man that she is insane, she may be placed in an asylum, and there taken care of. Applicant—A medical man has seen her, but will not give the necessary certificate. He says that she is bordering on insanity. Mr. Arnold—Then he declines to give a certificate? Applicant—He does. May I yet ask you another ques tion ? Mr. Arnold—Assuredly. Applicant—Has the father power to take away the chil dren from the mother ? . Mr. Arnold—What are tho ages of the children ? Applicant—Thirteen menthe and three years. Mr. Arnold—The mother is entitled to the custody of the children up to the age of seven years, unless it can be shown that she is marally unfit to have charge of them, but that is not a matter within my jurisdiction. THAMES. CRUELTY BY A CHARITY SCHOOLMASTER , —A tall and powerful man named George Wilson, master of the well known Charity School of St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, on Tower-hill, adjoining the Royal Mint, and distinguished as the "First Protestant Charity School," appeared before Mr. Partridge, on a summons, to answer a charge of as saulting John Edward Jones, one of his pupils. The summons was taken eut at the instance of the mother of the boy. She is a poor and industrious widow of good character, and when she applied for the summons, appeared in great distress of mind. Her son, a delicate boy, only 9 years of age, had been most cruelly flogged, as was indicated by the state of his person. His back and posteriors were covered with bruises and discoloured, from the inflic tion of the dominie. It appeared from the evidence that the boy had been severely flogged with a cane and a strap on several occasions, and he had seen other boys punished very badly by the schoolmaster. The complainant, notwithstanding his tender years. had been chastised forty times. His hands were mercilessly cut with a cane in June labt, and the mother then complained to Wilson of his brutal treatment. The boy's hand was cut with a cane a fortnight ago. The last cruel infliction was on Monday afternoon last, after school hours, The defendant pulled down the blinds of a room, in which he punished the boy, put a handkerchief over his eyes, made him pull down his trousers, and then flogged him over his naked body with a leather strap. The boy counted as many as thirty blows. The defendant said he did not in flict more than twenty nor less than fifteen, and produced the leather strap with which he inflicted the punishment. It was by no means a heavy or formidable weapon, but, in the hands of a giant like the defendant, capable of injuring a child of tender years with a soft skin like the complainant. Mrs. Jones, the mother of the boy, said he had come home frequently with his hands cut and his person bruised, and she complained that it was not proper or humane to punish a child so brutally. The defendant made a lengthened exculpation, and denied having punished the boy with unnecessary severity. The inflictions were necessary for the discipline of the school, Re punished the boy on Monday for telling a falsehood. He put in a letter, of which the following is a copy : "The Rev. Mr. Robertson, incumbent of St. Botolph, Aldgate, begs to state that John Edward Jones is a boy of bad disposition, that he has been reproved by the trustees of the school for insubordinate conduct, and that he has only been permitted to remain in the school on promise of amendment. Mr. Robertson begs to state further that he has reason to fear that the 13)y has been encouraged in his bad conduct by his mother, who appears to have given him injudicious advice, and that the trustees of the school have the greatest confidence in the master, Mr. Wilson, and believe that he would not inflict unnecessary or excessive punishment. 16, Devonshire-square, Sept. 24, 1863." Mr. Partridge said the statement in writing of the Rev. Mr. Robertson was no evidence whatever, and be could pay no attention to it. The defendant said the Simmons had been served upon him so recently that he had not had an opportunity of calling witnesses, and wi:hel for an adjournment. Mr. Partridge would certainly give the defendant an op portunity of calling any witness he thought proper. The charge was a serious one. The defendant must recollect that he was charged with flogging; the boy in private during " play hour," as it was called, and that the punishment was inflicted vtith a leather stiap on the naked person of the child, after he had been blindfolded. The defendant would also recollect what was the state of the child's body just exposed to view; and that the mother said when the boy came home on Monday theta were red and blue stripes on his body, and that his hands were cut on a former occasion. The case was then adjourned, to give th , :r defendant an opportunity of calling witnesses to character. " My Lord—ln a despatch from the Secretary of State of the Confederate States of America, dated 4th day of August last, and now just received, I am instructed to consider the commission which brought me to England as at end, and I am directed to withdraw at once from this country. " The reasons for terminating this mission are set forth in an extract from the despatch, which I have the honour to communicate herewith. " The President believes that ' the Government of her Majesty has determined to decline the over tures made through you for establishing, by treaty, friendly relations between the two Governments, and entertains no intention of receiving you as the accredited Minister of this Government near the British Court. Under these circumstances, your con tinued residence in London is neither conducive to the interests nor consistent with the dignity of this Government; and the President therefore requests that you consider your mission at an end, and that you withdraw with your secretary from London.' "Having made known to your lordship on my arrival here the character and purposes of the mis sion entrusted to me by my Government, I have deemed it due to courtesy thus to make known to the Government of her Majesty its termination, and that I shall, as directed, at once withdraw from England.—l have the honour to be yours, &c., (Signed) " J. M. MASON." The same journal makes the following comments on the foregoing document : " We are permitted by Mr. Mason to publish his letter to Earl Russell, announcing his recall as special commis sioner from the Confederate States of America to England, and the termination of his mission. It will be seen by the extract given in the letter of recall that it is placed by the Confederate President on the ground of the persistent re fusal of England to enter into the relations of amity usual between foreign Powers—a condition of things which, in the opinion of the President, would make the continuance of the mission neither conducive to the interests nor con sistent with the dignity of the Government of which he is at the head.' Mr. Slidell, we understand, will remain in France as special commissioner to that Government, nor is it at all contemplated to terminate that mission ; and yet France, equally with England, has so far refrained from entering into international relations with the Con federate States. All England will admit that the Govern ment of those States is in the hands of able, experienced. and judicious statesmen ; and we are sufficiently conversant with Southern circles and Southern men to know that, with other marked differences between the sections North and South in America, there exists this—that in the South the general feeling to England bas been one of good-will and respect. There must be, then, some over-ruling cause for the difference thus made between France and England in the termination of the mission to the one, and not to the other. To those at all conversant with what is passing in the Southern States this is no mystery. Mr. Slidell has been received, and has been uniformly treated by the Government of France, with every mark of con sideration and respect for the Government he repre sents. There may be grave reasons regarding policy or public law why France, like England, may not deem it in cumbent as yet to recognise those States asan independent political power; but their representative has been freely admitted to every form of intercourse with the Government of France, to personal interviews with the Emperor when ever he asked for them, with immediate access to all or any of the Ministry at first request. This would seem, indeed, but an ordinary courtesy to a gentleman in his position—the refusal of it would be more than a discourtesy, it would be an actual indignity to those whose representative he is. In England Mr. Mason has been held by the Government in the very opposite position. His correspondence with the Foreign Office, laid before Congress at Richmond, we know from the Southern press, produced a feeling of deep and universal indignation. It showed that, with the exception of a single and formal interview with Earl Russell on his first arrival, appointed at his residence, and not at the Foreign Office, he had been admitted to no inter course whatever with any member of the Government; whilst a second interview with Earl Russell, asked for some months after the first, was by that Minister curtly refused. It showed further that, to all outward or other manifestation, the presence of a Confederate commissioner in London was no further recognised than by brief replies to such commu nications as he was from time to time instructed to make to the Minister of this Government. Whilst we sincerely regret, therefore, the necessity which has imposed on President Davis the d u ty o f t erm inating the Co nfederate commission to. England, we are bound to admit that his forbearance has been tested to the utmost. Earl Russell has now succeeded in establishing absolute non-intercourse with the Confederate States—those States whore our commerce has found sources of incalculable wealth and profitable employment for countless millions of our capital, with like profitable employment for hundreds of thousands of the people of England. We say absolute non intercourse, because we kno .v through the press that of the three British cements who remained in the Southern States exercising their functions by permission of the Government there, Mr. Bunch at Charleston, and Mr. 3PGee at Mobile, were recalled by this Government ; and Mr. Moore at Richmond was dismi ssed b y the Confederate Government for contumacy. It r emains to be seen hereafter what ad vantages France may derive from a course of policy more consistent with her own self-respect and with national de- corum."

There is but one opinion of the acts of the Eng lish Ministry; there can be but one wherever God's sun shines upon people who can read the A B C and write—even in the colonies of England—and that is this : that the English Ministry had one of two courses to pursue, a right one and a wrong one. A right noble one would have been, if they deemed it for the interest of England to acknowledge the South, to have done it in a noble open manner, and have let the consequences take care of themselves. If they had done this they would have dismembered the. United States for eser, and, at this moment, the Confederacy would have been independent, and a grateful friend to England. This was a right course for an English Ministry to pursue. The Ministry was too small potatoes and too few in a hill to do anything so grand and so noble. They wished to sneak into doing good to the South, ant' so they allowed English capital, English sailors, English shipbuilders, English boiler-makers, and English everything else makers, to fit out ships in English ports as pirates to go on to the Atlantic Ocean, and there, under the rag adopted by our Southern brothers, to burn and de stroy millions of property belonging to merchants and shipowners, like old-time pirates, without much regard to wiaether the property was American, English, or Swiss. Is there a reflecting man in England, or a true-born English child between the age of three and twelve, who will say that that was the right cheese ? Or is there one who is proud of the achievements of such a glorious ministry ? Yet, as the man said to Noah, "D your old boat; I don't believe there is going to be much of a shower." So even now the organs of the English ministry, while territory after territory, each vaster in extent than all Europe, is weekly passing from rebel do minion, hopelessly and irrevocably, these organs declare that the South has just began to fight, and that the Confederacy was never so prosperous —and the stock goes up. " A SLASH" AT NAPOLEON. The English ministry did wrong, and if they remain in power when the South caves in there can be nothing else than a long and bloody war with America. It is as inevitable as that the tides ebb and flow. God in mercy avert it. Of course if the English people want war with America, they will have it by keeping iu the present ministers, who have made such a lovely mess of everything. But I suppose the million of pounds sterling that Napoleon is said to spend yearly in London to keep his viceroy Palmerston in power will have its effect, and that he will command his deputy to plunge England into the coming war that we are to have with France, use her as he did in the Crimean war, and as he does when he pleases, as the monkey did the generous eat, to pick the chestnuts out of the fire for his Majesty's own eating, while the unsus pecting cat burned her own paws. England, great and glorious as she has been, must to eternity com mand the respect of mankind, and of those who speak the English language all over the world, no matter what their nationality, when she leads in the affairs of the world and of the great nations on its outside surface. But how low she sinks when no great measure can be started by her ministers until a telegram has been sent to and received from Paris. I trust and I pray that whatever England may do in the coming contest, she will do it as mag nificently as of old, and not as second fiddle to the French Emperor. It is a reflection upon the mil lions of hogsheads of English blood in human sys tems on this continent and elsewhere, to suppose that England—old powerful England—is afraid to go to war without the backing of the legions of Paris No. 2. EDWIN JAMES REDIVIVITS ! YANKEE SQUEAMISHNESS ABOUT Bullock's BLOOD. We have an amusing war at the present time between the butchers of New York and the city inspector, Boole. He is opposed to the system of slaughter-houses, with blood running in the gutters of our best streets. It is a great nuisance, and is a source of sickness. It is to be hoped that Mr, Boole will be the conqueror. CLEVER APPLICATION OF A PROVERB. The retreat of General Bragg from Gen. Rose cranz has surprised many. It only proves the truth of the old English saying, " Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better one." WAR 1 WAR ! ! WAR!!! WITH PRANCE. A war between France and the United States is inevitable; but may Heaven avert a war between England and this country. It must come with the present ministry. The ministers are so leagued in with France that war cannot be avoided, if Napoleon wishes ; and it is folly to suppose that this country, when the rebellion ceases, will be powerless. The anxiety to wipe out the past disgraceful ci v il war will make our new war ferocious. If the rebellion is crushed, the Government will have to go into a foreign war. France is fair game. She only has given us cause of war. We need Mexico now, and we will have it. It was a great blunder of Polk's a dministration that he did not keep Mexico when we had it, and Scott with his army was in Mexico c ity. It was prevented by the Southern statesmen, who opposed annexing it for the same reason that they always opposed annexing Canada, viz., it would have enlarged and strengthened the free states and free territory. [Not a word about the human blood now, (for two years) flooding—not the gutters of New York but the vast countryside of what was once the Union : not one word about this fearful pouring out of human blood, says Manhattan MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A moderate supply of English wheat was on sale here to day. Factors were somewhat firmer in their demand, but, owing to the considerable arrival of wheat and flour from foreign ports, buyers operated cautiously at M onday ' s de cline in the currency. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, in w hi c h sa les progressed slowly at late rates.

THE VIRTUES OF BORAL—The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as a w a l thing-powder instead of soda, in the proportion of a large handful of borax-powder, to about 10 gallons of boil•. ing water ; they save in soap nearly half. All the large washing establishments adopt the same mode. For laces, cambrics, Sce., an extra quantity of the powder is used, and fur crinolines (required to be made very stiff) a strong solu tion is necessary. Borax, being a neutral salt, does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of the linen; its effect is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it should be kept on every toilette table. To the taste it is rather sweet; it is used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent dentifrice, and in hot countries is used, in combination with tartaric acid and bicarbonate of soda, as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made with hard water ; all water may be made soft by adding a teaspoonful of borax-powder to an ordinary-sized kettle of water, in which it should boil. The saving in the quantity of tea used will be at least one-fifth. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT NOTrINGHAM.—Two PERSONS DROWNED.—A distressing accident oc cutred yesterday, in the River Trent, near Nottingham, whereby two persons lost their lives. It appears that two young gentlemen, named Hurst, had been at the wedding of a friend named Manlove. The party, after the wedding, went to Clifton Grove to spend the remainder of the day. Mr. John and Mr. Edward Hurst left the party and en gaged a small boat at the Union Inn, near the Trent, and took with them a boy named Bromley to act as coxswain, when striving to row through an arch of the Trent-bridge, owing to a flush of water the boat was nearly upset and the boy thrown out, but it being shallow water where he was, the Hursts told him to keep stationary and they would soon rescue him. Bromley, however, unfortunately took hold of the side of the boat, and it immediately capsized, both the young men, as well as the boy, being pitched into a very rapid stream. Mr. John Hurst, who is a good swimmer, tried hard to save his brother ; but all his efforts were of no avail, and both Mr. Edward Hurst and the boy Bromley went to the bottom, and when got out both were dead. FIRE AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE, LIVERPOOL.-- On Wednesday evening, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, great alarm was created am ongst the audience at the Adelphi Theatre, in Christian-street, by a cry that the place was on fire. It appears that several boys who were indulging themselves with a pipe i n the gallery, let a spark drop amongst some shavings and rubbish beneath the seats. These materials at once burst into a flame, and the fire communicated itself to the benches. A great deal of Eureka made the thing appear more serious than it really was. The alarm having been given at the Dosehill fire station, a reel was speedily on the spot, and a for buckets of water quicskly eatinuished the Are.
