(Before Mr Justice Crompton.) MANSLAUGHTER BY A LUNATIC. NEW COURT. (Before Mr Baron Bramwell.) KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM, The Act of Parliament makes it a misdemeanour of carrying on an unlicensed asylum for the reception of lunatics or idiots. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The counsel for the commissioners said they had no desire to press for punishment, all they desired was the suppression of the establishment. Mr Baron Bramwell said that being the case, the better course to pursue would be to direct the lady to enter into her own recognisances to appear for judgment if necessary, and in the meantime some arrangement agreeable to all parties could be entered into. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Michael Moran was indicted for assaulting and robbing an aged man named John li.ear. The jury found him guilty, and several previous convic tions having been proved against him, The Common Sergeant sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was moderate. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled quiet. Nevertheless selected parcels supported Monday's currency. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. In nearly all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet prices ruled stationary, Floating cargoes of grain were in slow rcquest, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was seasonably large. The trade, however, was moderately active, and Monday's prices were supported. Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates. Oats, the supply of which on sale was moderate, ruled firm, at quite previous quotations. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was steady, and late prices were sup ported.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day , Peter Prederick Knight was placed at the bar to plead in an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Wm. Harringdon. It will be recollected that both prisoner and deceased were inmates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and that death was occasioned through an encounter between the two unfortu nate men. Or Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, and another medical gentleman, said they considered the prisoner to be in a state of mind quite unfit to plead. The learned Judge said, that being the case, he should order him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Mrs Sophia Leander surrendered to an indictment pre ferred against her by the Commissioners of Lunacy with keeping an unlicensed house for the reception of lunatics. The defendant, it appeared, was the proprietor of an establishment called Zion House, Hackney, and it having come to the knowledge of the Commissioners in Lunacy, they sent Dr Christie, the proprietor of a licensed establish- ment, to examine and report upon the facts of the case. The doctor informed the Commissioners that he examined six persons, who all exhibited undoubted evidence of dis eased mind, some of them, in fact, bordering on idiotcy. There were in addition between 70 and 80 other patients all subject to delirium ; but it was alleged that the establish ment was not a lunatic asylum, but a charitable institution founded mainly for the safe custody and treatment of per sons suffering from temporary idiotcy or unsoundness of intellect. Serjeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendant. Mr Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence, and said ; the question of the jury to decide was aye or no—had the defendant contravened the provisions of a very salutary Act of Parliament, which was calculated, at the same time, to protect the helpless and those who undertook their care and custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MAR LBOROUGH-STREET. Mrs. Mary Ann Robbins, residing in the same house, said her daughter informed her that Mrs. Reed was hang ing in the room, and on going down she found it to be the ease. She then gave an alarm, and Summers out her down. William Moorcroft, 165 E, said the prisoner told him that her husband had threatened to cut her throat, and she did it because she would not give him the chance. The husband of the prisoner said the fact was his wife had made the attempt on her life through jealousy. He went into a public-house with a friend to have a glass, and two women were there, and some kind person went and told his wife he was drinking with women. He believed that a feeling of jealousy and a little drink had induced his wife to aot as she had done. Mr. Knox said it was a serious matter, for if the prisoner had not been seen, as she fortunately was, she would have been a dead woman. He did not think the prisoner's mind could be in a right state if she did such a thing for such a trivial cause. He should remand her for a week that she might be seen by the physician and the chaplain of the House of Detention, WESTMINSTER. summonsN E a uR before s' Mr. Qus t ; —Arnold, Geehoarrggee charged with making appeared u use a of abusive language towards a female named Ogilvie, who was subsequently charged with throwing a pail of water over an infant. Mr. Drew, solicitor, of New Basinghall street, was engaged for the complainant. It appeared that the complainant and the defendant were neighbours, living in George-street, Chelsea, and that they were not on friendly terms, On the 27th of May, com plainant was at her door, when the defendant, who hap pened to see her, made use of some filthy expressions, and called her an old washerwoman, complainant not being of that occupation. Upon this summons being issued, a counter-summons was taken out against the complainant, who was accused of throwing a pail of water over an infant belonging to the defendant, Numerous witnesses were examined:on each side, and it was stated by one of thorn that the infant was nearly drowned. Complainant denied that she flung the water as alleged, and said that she intended the water for the defendant's son, who was annoying her, and that accidentally some of the water went over the child. She was sorry that any of it went over the infant. Mr Arnold observed that such was most likely to be the case, and that he thought the best course to take was to hold each to bail to keep the peace towards the other for six months. This was done, and the parties left the court. T HAMES. DANGEROUS SPORT. —A. mechanic named Hemming, of Glanen's-street, Bow- common, came before Mr Partridge, and complained of the dangerous nature of the pigeon shooting, Practised in the grounds of the Prince of Wales tavern, on Bow-common. The shot from a rifle aimed at a tamed pigeon struck his back window, broke five panes of glass, and were scattered about the room. Two shots entered his breast and put hint to great pain and incon- venience. Mr Partridge—Row far is the shooting ground from your house ? Mr Part id far la the house from any public Applicant—About 50 yards police of the district ought to take thoroughfare ? who n h a o Bo l usA e at i l:a : ni a l`rmd m ciPc e aol s ni3N : ie4TudiilthEtj Wilson and Connelly, i" Applicant—l can't say. / b y,tand summon the owner of thoroughfare. hm iE a t rty believe it is close to a public proceed to the Poplar Station- Mr Partridge said the with bat w hi a n s g action in this matter directly, the ground.

Partridge charged ta z e t n he o ß ot eg of en th e e s Wilson h blackguard, after going into the water.C'tn al Canal, stood on the bank in 4 State Of nudity. He was drunk. Smith, 345 S. said there were many in the canal last and Linaehouse intersected by the night and this morning, and the inhabitants of the houses at Stepney a rough complained of the nuisance. districtT in he canal was densely populated—in fact, bathing there was as public ..a ° F on an it would be if a canal passed through Ludgate-hill and Piccadilly. Large Stepney of Stepney printed broadsides containing the following words were posted on the banks s e te a p c n h ey bank of the canal :—" The police have strict orders to take into custody all persons bathing in the Regent's Canal. Penalty, 40s or one month, in the House of Correction with hard labour. Regent's Canal•office, City -road-basin, June, 1864." An officer of the Regent's Canal Com pany said that a place was set apart for bathers in the Victoria Dock, and the Regent's Canal CompanY had provided a large piece of water with half an acre of ground in Cambridge -heath, Bethnal-green, Tho admission to the place was one half penny only. Mr Partridge said there was no excuse whatever for public bathing and indecent exhibitions i n populous districts bordering on the canal. He fined Wilson ss, and ordered that Conolly should find one surety to keep ,the peace for a month. [EpatATA—ln our report yesterday the substitution of the word "smashed" for "insinuated" altered the meaning of the magistrate's observations. It should have been thus :—Most likely the complainant Airs Lawrence in sinuate something against the defendants after the attack upon her. The rest of the sentence was correctly given.] Additional Particulars of the Accident on the South-Western Railway, Five persons were killed by this -accident last night. Mr. Edwin Hall, corn merchant, Duke-street Manchester square, had his legs cut clean off above the knees, and his body was fearfully mangled. A man named C or b e tt, but known in raci ng c i rc les as " Padwick's Mouse," a nd who lived in the sam e h ou se as Mr. Hall, died f ron concus sion and fractu res . M r . Willey, landlord of th e Globe Inn, King's-road, Ch e l sea , died from concussio n . M r . Clegg landlord of the Harp publichouse, Jermyn-st ree t, wa s also killed; and Mr. William Winfield, farm bailiff and gar dener to C. Bracebridge, Esq., of Sherborne, died from concussion. An apprentice to the chief cook of the Prince of Wales was so severely injured that both his feet had to be amputated ; and Mr., Esau Trigg, publican, Brighton, was taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, having sustained a fractured leg and two broken ribs. The inquest will pro • bably ba held to-morrow. - - A TRADESMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HIS WIFE.-Mr Jas. William Dexter, milliner, of No. 1, Cran bourn-street, was charged before Mr Knox with assaulting his wife, Jane. The complainant, who gave her evidence in a very pe culiar manner, said —I have only been confined three weeks. My husband last night caught hold of my throat and nearly choked me, and then told a policeman what he had done, and the policeman refused to take my husband because I had no marks on me, We then went indoors, and my husband gave me a blow on the nose and tore my clothes. He was drunk, and always is drunk. Defendant—How many half-quarterns of brandy did you have yesterday ? Complainant—Oh, fifty. Defendant—Were you notput to bed yesterday at dinner time insensibly drunk ? Complainant—Oh, ye s . Inspector Walker—The complainant has been drinking this morning. Police-constable, 51 C—About half-past 12 last night the complainant asked me to take the defendant into cue tody, but as she had no marks about her I refused, telling her she could come this morning to the court. Mr Knox—You were perfectly right in doing so. Constable—The defendant said he had not . illused his wife. The defend an t had been drinking a little, but his wife was very excited. On going round my beat again I found the complainants nose bleeding, and on her charging her husband with having again assaulted her I took him into custody. The defendant said his wife had fallen in the passage. Defendant—Did I not try to avoid my wife ? Constable—You did. Defendant—Look at my h an d s your worship. She is always clawing me. Y esterday she had five half quarterns of brandy before dinner, and was then put to bed. Later in the day she threw several things at me, and I went out till night to avoid her. On returning she again clawed me, being intoxicated at the time. We have been married seven years, and I attend to buqiness and keep the books. A 3 oung woman was called, and said that Mrs Dexter broken her neck. had been drinking and fell, and b ut f or h er wou ld have Mr Knox—lt is quite clear to me that Mrs De x t er , w h o was said not to be sober yesterd ay, is not sober to-day, and had her husband attempted to strangle her she would have some marks on her throat. It is pretty evident what sort of a woman she is by the answer as to the 50 half quarterns •of brandy. It is not a case for a magistrate's interference, and I am sorry the defendant has such a drunken wife. The defendant was then discharged, and as he was leav ing• the court his wife attempted to assault him, but was prevented.. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THRO UGH JEALOUSY. Jane Reed, a respectably attired m arr i ed woman, living in Chapel-mews,erself Knox, with the following determi ne d attempt to destroy herself: From the evidence of a young man named Wm. Summers, residing in Charlton ar Portland-place, was charged before Mr. unn street, Fitzroy square, it appeared that on the previous afternoon he heard screams proceeding from the house where the prisoner resided, and on going to see the cause, he was informed that a female was hanging in a back room. He immediately went to the room and saw the prisoner being held from the floor by two or three women, a cord attached to a beam being tied round her neck. The prisoner was quite insensible at the time. In answer to Mr. Knox witness said the prisoner was the wife of the foreman of a yard. The " Situation," if necessary, be backed by efficient action. Unless this demand be complied with, and unless the Ger man plenipotentiaries show themselves on Thurs day next more yielding than they appeared on Monday, it is probable that the labours of the Con ference will be brought to an abrupt conclusion. It is satisfactory to, reflect that the interval in the negotiations will be usefully occupied by de bates in Parliament, which can now no longer be postponed, By a variety of expedients, the Govern ment succeeded in suppressing discussion before ; Easter, and since then the Conference has come to their assistance; but the country is impatient of delay, and unless the regular organs of opposition in Parliament be found ready, as we have every reason to anticipate that they will, to perform their constitutional duties, the indignation of the people will find vent through other and unsuspected chan nels. Nothing could be more fatal to the influence of Parliament than the neglect, at such a crisis as the prabent, of its supreme functions as the autho rised interpreter of public opinion. The Gun-cotton Explosion at Stowmarket, The inquest on the body of Elizabeth Barnard, :he second person whose death had 1). - en caused by ,he explosion at Messrs. Prentice's guncotton 'actor:7, was resumed on Monday morning at Stow market. Mr. F. B. Marriott, the coroner, stated that the Secretary of State for War had instructed a competent officer to inspect the works and give evidence at the inquest. After several of the workpeople had been re-examined Mr. Manning Prentice stated that he had visited various scientifi3 gentlemen in London .to endeavour to ascertain the cause of the explosion. Professor Tyndal, to whom the knife used in cutting the cotton, with its notches, was shown, at once expressed his opinion that it arose from this knife coming in contact with the copper wire employed in the cotton which is cut. Mr. Prentice also read a series of new regulations for the factory, prepared with the concurrence of Mr. Abel, the chemist to the War Department. Dr. William Allen Miller, Pro fessor of Chemistry at King's College, London, the first scientific witness examined, said, Dr. Frank land and myself came down from Londo❑ on Satur day, and visited the Gun-cotton Factory, where we saw the whole operation of the manufacture of the cotton. We then proceeded to make experiments on the ignition of gun-cotton by mechanical means, particularly with the cutting machine. We made a great number of experiments, our object being to satisfy ourselves upon the conditions which were likely to arise, and to ascertain the cause of the explosion. We took pieces of copper wire and placed them so that they should be cut through, and endeavoured to ignite it in that way, The copper was placed in various ways, sometimes spirally and sometimes in the rope. and we also tried to shave a piece off. We made 40 or 50 cuts through the rope and the copper in various ways, but did not succeed in firing the cotton in this way. We put some small pieces of flint into the rope, and cut it three or four times without any explosion, but on the fourth or fifth cut the cotton exploded. I think there can be very little doubt that the ex plosion was caused by the action of the knife either upon copper or grit. lam not certain which, but I think most probably copper. Dr. E. Frankland, Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution, London ; Dr. T. Richardson, technological chemist, Newcastle -on-Tyne, and Professor of Chemistry et Durham University ; and Mr. J, Scott Russell, G.E., were then examined, and gave evidence confirming that of Dr. Miller. The coroner said that the public must feel that everything possible had been done to investigate the cause of the explo sion, and that Messrs Prentice had done all in their power to throw light on the matter. The evidence of the scientific men was that the explosion was produced by the knife corning in contact with the copper wire or with a piece of grit; but they all inclined to the opinion that it was with the wire and not with the grit. He did not know that they were called upon to decide which of the two it was, so long as they were satisfied it was accidental ; and it was clear that if the rules now arranged were attended to there would he no deager of an explo sion in future. After a consultation of about three quarters of an hour the jury found " That the said Elizabeth Barnard died on the 29th day of May last from injuries received by her clothes having been accidentally set fire to by an explosion at Messrs Prentice and Co.'s gun-cotton factory on the 24th day of May last. The jury wish to state that they are entirely satisfied with the manner in which the recommendation for a scientific inquiry has been carried out," (From the Realm of To-day.) There is every reason to anticipate that the Danish Government will persist in its prudent oppo sition to the indefinite prolongation of the armistice The German Powers for strategical, the English Cabinet for parliamentary, purposes, are equally desirous of gaining time. In a few months the sea son, which is advantageous to the Danes, will have passed away; in a few weeks Parliament will be disbanded; and when the summer is over Danmark will once more be at the mercy of Germany, and the guardianship of English interests and English honour be entrusted to an uncontrolled and vir tually irresponsible executive. We frankly con fess that the prospect of further disaster to Den mark is not the apprehension which we have principally in view when we express the anxious hope that the design which the German and English plenipotentiaries are pursuing together may be speedily and finally frus trated. We are more concerned to perceive that the peace of Europe cannot be considered secure as long as a question so fertile in discord is allowed to remain unsettled. But what touches us most nearly is the reflection that,if the Ministerial tactics attain their object, we may again be subjected to the humiliation under which the country is still smarting, and be condemned to witness another aeries of threatening despatches, followed by vacile lating conduct, and resulting in concession and surrender. If the peace of Europe requires that the Danish question should no longer be left in suspense, it is no less indispensable to the honour and dignity of England, that the opportunity should immediately be given to Parliament, undieturlr d by current negotiations, to review the foreign policy of Her Majesty's Government, and to determine whether we are still to be represented before the world by men whose acts and language are so little in corres pondence with the generous spirit of our country. It is because we believe that it will have the effect of hastening a solution, that we congratulate the country upon the animated debate which unexpectedly arose in the House of Commons on Monday night. No one can reproach the Opposition with a want of forbearance, and Mr. Disraeli's demand for information is as little open to the charge of being excessive as it is to that of being premature, Mr. Kinglake, al though too anxious to serve the German cause to subject the Government to inconvenient interpella tions, fully eckno wiedged the force of Mr. Disraeli's position, that the reserve of the House of Commons was dependent upon the fidelity of Ministers to the basis of their negotiations. Even according to Mr. Kinglake, a change in that basis ought to be com municated to Parliament in order that it may have the opportunity of expressing its unaltered confi dence in the Government, or its disapprobation of their new policy. If we be rightly informed, the Danish pleni• potentiaries have adroitly availed themselves of the opening afforded by the English proposi tion to place the Government in an embarrass ing dilemma. They have, it appears, agreed to accept the proposed boundary of the Schlei, on the condition that England should make its accept ance by Germany an ultimatum. Although in our own opinion the Government should have adhered to a system of non-intervention, which would have made such a demand impossible, it cannot be denied that, after all that has been written and said by her Majesty's Ministry on the Schleswig-Holstein question, Denmark has a right to expect that the arbitration of so great a country as England should, SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

LONDON DOCKS, ST. KATHARINE DOCK, AND VICTORIA DOCK AMALGAMATION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. LOCKE moved that the bill be read that day six months. Mr. LAYARD seconded the motion. Sir M. PETO supported the bill. After a short discussion, the amendment was withdrawn on the underbtanding that the Board of Trade should look closely into and deal with the clauses of the bill, GAOLS BILL. Sir G. GREY said he should postpone the second read ing of the bill which stood for to-morrow until this day week. INTOXICATING LIQUORS BILL. A large number of petitions having been presented in favour of the bill, Mr LAWSON moved its second reading. The object of the measure, which is commonly known as the "Permis sive Bill," is to enable any parish, on the approval of the proposition of a majority of ratepayers, to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors during Sunday, by entirely closing the public .house for fourand-twenty hours. Capt. JERVIS rose to move that the bill be read a second time this day six months. He had been five years against his will in the States of America where the sale of intoxicat ing liquors was prohibited, and he knew that drunken ness had increased there. A man there, instead of going to a bar to take his glass, went down into a cellar, where he got drunk and was kept there, because if he came up and was seen, the seller would be fined as well as the drinker. Amongst the higher classes people were obliged to close their shutters before they brought their wine on the table, (Laughter.) Mr ROEBUCK said that during the many years he had been in Parliament, he had never heard submitted a more mischievous bill. He did not mince the matter at all. (Laughter.) By this bill it was proposed that the House of Commons should abdicate its functions. In the next place the bill would sow dissension in every parish in Eng land, and by the time it came into full operation England would be no place for a peaceable person to live in. His next objection to the bill was that it was eminently an unjust bill and directed entirely against the poor. It was a most crud bill. He had great faith in the intentions of the per sons who brought forward their bill, but none in their in tellect—(hear, hear)—and regarded it as mere idle talk on a bill which it was well known could not pass. It West minster, under this bill, put this bill in operation, would that extend to the refreshment room of the House of Com mons ? Would it have the effect of preventing the in troduction of intoxicating liquors into that house Could anything be more foolish than that ? (Laughter.) This was a bill directed against the poor; for the rich, who could lay in a stock of such things as they wanted, would not be in the slightest degree affected by it. As between the magistrates and the municipal Authorities he preferred the magistrates, although he readily admitted that the question was well worthy of consideration. Mr MAR TIN opposed the bill on the ground that it would lead to smuggling, and to worse evils than those which at present existed. Mr SCOURFIELD thought the bill would give wide spread annoyance. Sir G. GREY opposed the bill, on the ground that it would give an intolerable tyranny to the majority. With regard to an increase in the number of convictions, it was no proof of the increase of drunkenness, as by the refreshment houses a new class of offences had been created. He thought the evil might to a great extent be prevented, if there were a better administration of the law in the metropolitan districts. At present a marl might be convicted two or three times, and yet was able to transfer the license. He thought that in such a case the house should be closed for at least two years. Mr. BUXTON considered that great improvements had taken place in the habits of the working classes. In that improvement he considered all reforms rested. Mr. HUMBERSTONE opposed the bill. Mr. IV. FORSTER sympathised with temperance prin ciples, but he could not vote for the bill. He could not think it right to transfer the power of granting licenses from the magistrates to town councils, although he thought the inhabitants should have some voice in the number of licensed houses there should be. He hoped that early next session a bill would be brought forward by the Govern ment for putting the drinking houses of the country under some general system. (Hear, hear.) Mr HENLEY said the duty of granting licenses was a very unpleasant duty devolving upon magistrates. The difficulty they felt was not with regard to public houses, but with regard to beer houses, on the establishment of which he thought there ought to be some restraint. He believed that if this bill passed the people of a parish on which an interdict was placed would go out of the parish and people would drink twi ce as muc h . H e opposed the bill because it was unjust, and because he believed it would be wholly inoperative. Mr PEASE had hoped that the Government would have been induced to support the bill after the multitude of petitions that had been presented. The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment Against it .35 Majority against the bill ....... -257 The bill was consequently lost. VALUATION OF LANDS AND HERITAGES (SCOTLAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill, which was proposed for second reading was in parliamentary language " talked out" at a quarter to six. , RAILWAY COMPANIES POWERS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 6. A SPECIMEN OF THE GRAPHIC STYLE OF TACITUS ;—Galba was hurried to and fro with every movement of the surging crowd ; the halls and temples all around were thronged with spectators of this dismal sight. Not a voice was heard from the people or even from the rabble. Everywhere were terror-stricken countenances, and ears turned to catch every sound. It was a scene neither of agitation nor of repose, but there reigned the silence of profound alarm and profound indignation. Otho, however, was told that they were arming the mob. He ordered his men to hurry on at full speed, and to a nticipate the danger. Then did these Roman soldiers rush forward like men who had to drive some Vologeses or Pam us from the ancestral throne of the Arsacidx, not as though they were hastening to murder their aged and defenceless Em peror. In all the terror of their arms, and at the full speed of their horses, they burst into the Forum, thrusting asid e the crowd and trampling on the Senate. Neither the sight of the Capitol, nor the sanctity of the overhan g i ng temples, nor the thought of rulers past or future, could deter them from committing a crime, which any one su cceeding to power must avenge.

Barker, of Manchester ; W. Saunders, of Ply mouth; J. Guest, of Rotherham; G. Tatham, of Leeds; W. H. Higginbottom, of Bolton ; W. Hoyle, of Bury ; Edward Whitwell, of Kendal ; W. J. Clegg and Joseph Pearson, of Sheffield ; W. Campbell, H, Dyson, and G. Ward, of Leeds; the Revs. the Hon. Leland Noel, Canon :enkins, W. N. Molesworth, of Rochdale; Dr. Burns, Dawson Burns, J. S. Workman, and 5, Schadhorst ; Pro fessor Newman, and several gentlemen connected with the metropolis. Having been introduced by Lord Calthorpe, whom Lord Palmerston recognised and shook heartily by the hand, Mr Pope stated the object of the deputation, and presented to his lordship a memorial representing that there was a strong feeling against the present licensing system, and a prevalent conviction that strong drink was an ex eeptional article of trade, that many landowners had stopped the sale of it on their estates ; and that agitation had proved that the people were prepared for the Intoxicating Liquors Bill, which the memorialists prayed Lord Palmerston and the Government to support. Mr Pope was followed by the Rev. W. N. Molesworth, who spoke for the manufac. turing districts; Mr Saunders, of Plymouth; Mr Tatham, of Leeds; Professor Newman, the Rev. H. Gale, and Mr. Raper. Lord Palmerston listened to all with marked at tention and evident interest, and elicited several pertinent explanations ; and on retiring the deputation thanked his his lordship for the courtesy and consideration which had been extended to them. BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.--Last evening the ap. proaches to old Blackfriars Bridge were intercepted on both sides of the river by barricades, and the pavement for a short distance was taken up, with a view to prevent the passage of traffic over the bridge, preparatory to its destine. tion being commenced this morning. In addition to the legacy of 10,000 f. made by M. Meyerbeer to the Association of Musical Artists, a donation of a similar amount has been left by him to the Association of Dramatic Authors and Composers, as announced by Mme. Meyerbeer in a letter to M. de Saint• George, the president of that institution. NOT DEAD YET. By J. C. Yeaffreson, Author of "Live it Down," &c. 3 vole.--" This is a very clever novel. There is a hearty pleasant tone throughout, and the interest is sustained from the very first to the very last page. The characters are sketched with a masterly hand. Rupert Smith, the man about town.' plausible schemer, and thorough villain; Edward Smith, the artist, as pure and noble-minded a character as novelist ever depicted; Sir Frank Starling, the hard unforgiving old baronet ; Mr. Purfleet, the family solicitor ; John Harrison Newbolt, the Radical Boanerges of the House of Commons, who buys pictures as an investment, and thus becomes the patron of Edward; his daughters Ida and Florence; the rollicking but right-hearted medical man, Nat Savage ; pretty Kitty Kent, Rupert's victim ; Dick O'Mulligan, the fortunate digger—are all true to the life, and could only have been depicted by one who is quite familiar with all the various aspects of modern society."— United Service. Magazine, GALLANT EXPLOIT OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.—Nov. 18, 1863.—We drove the enemy to-day from his advanced lines in front of Knox.. ville, close under his works. This sortie was the occasion of one of those dashing feats of individual gallantry which demands a passing notice, A breastwork was charged by our infantry. They winced under the galling fire of the enemy and wavered, when Captain Stephen Winthrop, formerly captain in her Britannic Majesty's 22d Foot, who had joined our ranks and was on duty in Alexander's Artillery Battalion, stationed several hundred yards from the scene of conflict, mounting his horse and dashing across the plain—the only horseman in the melee—rode in advance of the wavering line up to the very works of the enemy. A. hundred rifles were lowered upon him, but he moved on, and rallied the wavering line; the work was carried, and Winthrop borne away with a Minie ball through his shoul der, his sword scabbard broken by another, and the point of his sword cut off by another. His escape was miraculous, but he is doing well, and will soon again report for duty. —Richmond Enquirer of Feb. 16, 1864. A NICE STATE OF THINGS (according to " Man• hattan").—Look at our position truthfully, and you will see that I have described it. There are many of our citizens who have long foreseen the gloomy state of that which is about to come upon us. Look IA the gold market. Up, up—nearly at its highest point again. In vain the Government buys largely of exchange, and throws it upon the market at a losing price to keep down gold; it has no effect. Gold rises, or rather greenbacks are going down. All kinds of merchandise is rising. Merchants refuse to sell goods at any price, and will not until the fight in Virginia between Grant and Lee is settled one way or the other. This makes consumers and manufacturers anxious to buy. Shoes that cost in 1860 1 dol. sc. now sell for 5 dole. Boots made for 5 dole. now sell for 12 dole. It is so with every article that is sold. If this goes on few will be able to wear boots and sho2s. We shall have to step into sabots as th e y do in Holland, th oug h wo od is so high that a pair of wooden shoe s would cost about 3 dots. 50c. Everybody t a lk s a b o ut the gloomy prospects. Men. shake th e i r h ea d s a nd say, " What are we com i ng to?" Others see live in t he prospect so ch eer i ngly and so constantly announced in the daily papers when Grant shall have captured Lee. But this has been so often r epeated that it is an old story. Tens of thousands have left this city for the country mites of New York—in order to live cheaper. Of these thousands are returning to get f o othold h iontteordio in than the city. They find food high er i n here. It i s a lmost imp oss ibl e to ol get board anywhere. Proprietors are afraid of the rise in articles. Everything is adulterated. Pow dered white sugar is unsafe to buy. A heavy white substance that sells cheap by the ton, is mixed with sugar, and sold for genuine, so that to use the article in tea or coffee, or in icecream, one is liable to die by means of the mineral substance left in the stomach. Fortunes are still made in Wall. street on paper. Tested by sterling bills or gold the prof ts fly off. The mining schemes and bubbles swell out into magnificent proportions. Men without a dollar have become rich by mining stocks. All who are interested in the places of public amusement are getting rich. Those places are crowded every night. It seems as though our citizens throng to them to drive away care, and I judge it is so, because the more foolish the amuse ment the larger the crowd. If Jack the Gient Killer was played at Niblo's it would draw crowded houses every night, especially if the actors could sing an allusion to our great giant Grant. Murders keep up to the average standard. Not a day passes without one or mote murders. V. 16.4 1031 4i 110 91 6 1 I 111 i 98 7 ; 541 771
