Notice has been given that the bonds of the Con federate Loan will be ready for delivery in ex change for the paid-up scrip on the 24th inst., and that the half-year's interest on them will be pay able on the Ist prox. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been satisfactory. A better inquiry has prevailed for both cloths and yarns at Manchester, and prices are sustained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield has been animated, owing to the inquiries for autumn and winter goods. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not tingham h ave s h own cons i dera bl e act i vi ty, and in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffie ld, and Wolverh am pt on t h ere has been cons i dera ble activity in most departments.

Childers in the chair, a dividend was declared for the past six months, payable on the 13th proximo, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It was stated that all the new £lO shares had been allotted, with the exception of 245, which would be placed upon the market in the customary way, and the premium carried to the credit of the bank. Nothing of importance has transpired to-day in the English Stock Market, and the few dealings, speculative and for immediate delivery, that have been entered into have not resulted in any material variation, Consols being 93 3 for transfer, and 931 for the account.

HER MAJESTY. The Queen in Germany. The following telegram from Earl Granville was received in London on Saturday afternoon :-- " CoBURG, August 15. 10 a.m. "Her Majesty the Queen left Laeken yesterday at 1.30 p.m., and arrived at the Castle of Rosenau shortly before 10 a.m. this day." MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were fairly sup plied with new wheat, for the most part of fine quality. The demand ruled heavy, and p r i ces d ec li n ed quite Is, in some instances 2s, per quarter. Very moderate supplies of spring corn were on offer, yet all descriptions met a slow sale, at drooping currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at barely late rates. We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and flour is in a sluggish state, on easier terms. On the con tinent the corn markets are flat. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate, but were rather in excess of the pre vious week. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,129 quarters of wheat, 2,335 barley, 39,018 oats, 1,940 beans, 625 peas, 8,884 linseed, 5,536 oilseeds, 3,600 maize, 60 sun dry seeds, 220 sacks and 12,229 barrels of flour. Only a moderate supply of new home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, was of fine quality, and the samples came to hand in good condition. The trade, both for red and white parcels was heavy in the extreme, and, compared with Monday last, a decline of 4s. per quarter took place in the currency. At the close of business a clearance had not been effected. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably extensive. The demand was in a sluggish state, both for American and Continental produce, and, compared, with Monday last, the prices rea lised showed a fall of from is to 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and wheat was decidedly lower in price. The supply of old English barley was very small, and only a few samples of new were on offer. A parcel of new Seale barley was exhibited for sale. The trade was very slow for all descriptions, yet n 3 quotable change took place in prices from Monday last, New Kent produce realised 37s per qr. The foreign supply was but moderate. Malt sold heavily, at barely previous quotations. The market was fairly supplied with oats, chiefly forage. The trade was dull, and to have pressed sales lower prices must have been accepted. No change took place in the value of beans, but the demand for them was very inactive. There was a some what increased supply of old produce on offer. Peas were dull, but without quotable change in value from last week. The supply on offer was very moderate. The flour trade, both as regards home and foreign de scriptions, was in a slugglish state, and prices had a down ward tendency. Town made was reduced 4d per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEA.SLTRE.

The Crown Princess of Prussia arrived in Berlin from Potsdam on Thursday, and paid a visit to the Grand Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, who had arrived in Berlin during the morning, on her way from Wildbad to Ludwigslust. The Crown Prince arrived at Munich on Thurs day from Gastein, and left soon afterwards for Berlin. The chief president of Stettin, M. von Senff- Pilsach, has published the following letter from the Crown Prince : " As the Crown Princess and myself, with our children, have dwelt for more than four weeks in this province, and have had opportunities to visit several portions of it, we cannot close our visit with out expressing to the inhabitants of Pomerania our sincere thanks for the numerous proofs of attach ment and devotion with which we have been greeted wherever we have appeared.

CLERICAL VIVISECTION. —A f r i g h tful ease! thus described by the Saturday Review :—Some years ago an eloquent divine was selected for the office of Colonial Bishop, and was actually sent out to the Antipodes, to get &lite experience in the sphere of his future labours. On his return, he is said to have anticipated his consecration by purchasing and wearing the full episcopal costume. A hitch occurred, and the Bishop designate was not thought strong enough for the place, and remains a priest to this day. By degrees, and one by one, the unfortunate victim was com. palled to drop his dignified habiliments. First, h e was shelled out of his shovel hat, then he was unfrocked of his apron, afterwards he was shorn as to his episcopal gaiters, and lastly the rcchet and lawn sleeves were offered for sa l e at an alar m i ng sacr ific e . It was a regular case of a p arson designate was unbishoped by slow agonies and protracted subjected to vivisection in its severest shape. The Bishop torments far worse than any inflicted in the notorious vete nary schools of Lyons and Mort, METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average supply of foreign sock on offer here to-day ; but its general quality was inferior. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were again extensive. Their general condition, however, was by no means first•rate. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were limited. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at Thursday's advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised a shade over our general top currency of 4s 10d per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,700 shorthorns, Btc, ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 140 oxen and heifers. We were again fairly supplied with sheep, mostly in good condition. Nearly all breeds sold steadily, at Thursday's improvement in value. The general top figure for Downs was ss; but a few pens realised 5s 2d per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was limited—sold briskly, at 8d per Sibs above the rates current on Monday last. Prices ranged from 53 8d to 6s 8d per albs. Calves were 21 per Blbs dearer, with a good demand. Top price 4s 8d per B:bs. In pigs, very little was doing, at late rates.

The August Session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning at the Sessions Houses, Old Bailey, before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, who sat as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, the Recorder (lfr. Russell Gurney), Alderman William Lawrence,Alderman Allen, the Sheriffs, Alderman J. C. Laurence, and Hugh Jones, Esq., Mr. Under-sheriff Mackrell, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 116 persons for trial, the offences for the most part being of the ordinary character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Recorder, in delivering his charge, remarked upon the absence from the calendar of any charge of wilful mur der ; there were, however, two cases of assaults with intent to murder or do grievous bodily harm. In the first case a man named Henry Tink was charged with cutting the throat of his brother, Charles John Tink. It appeared from the depositions that the prisoner had invited his brother to come to London to obtain work, but failed to ob tain any. They slept together, and during the night the prisoner unbuttoned his brother's shit, but at the time his brother took no notice of it and fell asleep. Soon after he felt a cutting at his throat ; he called out "Murder," and then discovered his brother with a razor in his hand cutting at his throat. Two other per sons were sleeping in the same room and came to his assistance, and the prisoner was prevented doing any further injury. The razor was found in the bed covered with bleed. There was no doubt that the prosecutor's throat had been seriously cut and wounded, and the only question ww. by whom the wound was inflicted. There was another case in which a woman, named Eliza Robins, was charged with administering poison to two of her infant children. She was seen to go into a pastrycook's and buy a tart, and then cover it with a white powder, part of which she gave to one of the children, and the rest she put into the mouth of the other infant in her arms. On being charged with attempting to poison her children, she endeavoured to excuse herself by saying that she was not able to support them, and did not like their going to the work house. Upon the facts, as stated in the depositions they would have no difficulty in sending the case for trial. There were no less than seven charges of manslaughter. In one case a man named Josph Bsgint was charged with kill ing a woman with whom he cohabited, named Ann Giffen . It appeared that on the 3d of August she came home, when the prisoner charged her with being drunk, he himselt having been drinking. He commenced beating her, and she was heard to cry out, "Don't beat me so, you will kill me ;" when he replied he would do so before he had done with her. He then knocked her down, and the day after she died. On examination it was found one of her ribs was broken and it had penetrated the lung. There was also a wound on the skull, and there was no doubt that the injuries were the cause of death. There was also a case of a woman named Sullivan, charged with stabbing and kill ing a man named White, with whom she cohabited. It ap peared that there had been a quarrel between them, and that the deceased was endeavouring to force the prisoner out of the room, when she took up the knife and stabbed the deceased, and no doubt one of the main arteries was cut, causing the death. The wound was inflicted in a fit of passion, which reduced the offence from murder to man slaughter. The learned Recorder then remarked on the several other cases of manslaughter, and after some few other observations the jury retired to their duties. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STREET RuPFTANlsM.—William Jackson, of 5, Coram street, Russell-square, marine store dealer, and John Hamilton, of 15, Dean-street, Spitalfields, were charged before Mr. Tyr 'Mitt with being drunk and disorderly; and Hamilton was further charged with assaulting Sergeant Thomas Dodsworth, 293 A, and Mr. James Parkhurst, foreign china dealer, of 6, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, who went to the assistance of the sergeant. The sergeant saw the prisoners, shortly before one this morning, drunk, fighting together, and making a great disturbance outside one of the ice shops in Oxford-street, and on requesting them to go away they made use of the most disgusting language, and refused to leave. The ser geant then attempted to take them into custody, when Hamilton threw himself on the ground and kicked him about the shins. Mr. Parkhurst, who was on his way home with his wife, seeing the sergeant illused. went to his assistance, and some constables arriving, the prisoners were taken to the station, and while on the way Hamilton deli. berately kicked Mr. Parkhurst in a violent manner —Mr. Parkhurst at the time being engaged in carrying the con. stable's hat. Jackson said that on coming 3ut of the ice shop his wife said she had lost her watch, and the sergeant said it was more likely that he (Jackson) had taken one, and then there was a disturbance. Hamilton said it was no use saying any }king. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Jackson 20s. or 14 days, and Hamil ton 408. or two months for the assault on Mr. Parkhurst, and 10s. or 14 days for assaulting the sergeant. THE PESTS OF THE PARKS.—A well dressed German, named Wilhelm Iluntebrunk, who de-cribed himself as a sugar baker at Whitechapel, was charged with grossly im proper conduct in Hyde-park, near Grosvenor-gate. The case having been proved by Lloyd, a constable of the A division, The prisoner, through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said he was a foreigner, and that he had only been in London a short time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the foreigners must behave them selves as well as other people, and his being a foreigner was no excuse, for he must be well aware that in his own country he would be punished for such conduct. The prisoner was then committed for three months with hard labour. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A GlRL.—Jahn William Fitz gerald, an engineer, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Mary Ann Moore, a girl under 13 years of age. It appeared that the girl had been sent by her mother on an errand to the prisoner's, in William-street, Cannon street-road. The wife was from home, but the prisoner was in his room, and he made improper overtures to the girl, which she rejected ; and he then pulled her about and assaulted her with his hands in a gross manner. Tho girl resisted and got away from him. Sbe was not hurt, but very much alarmed, and immediately made known the base conduct of the prisoner to her friends, who caused the villain to be taken into custody. V Mu... The girl's evidence given at great length left no doubt of the prisoner's intentions. He offered no violence to the girl. George Salmon Howe, a police-constable, No. 131 11, said he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday even ing, and he denied what was alleged against him, and said he was he girl called upon hi m . T prisoner,in defence, said he had no recollection of tipsy when the what took place. He was very tipsy on reaching home on Saturday. Mr. Woolrych—You have committed a gross assault on this girl. You are sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and bard labour. SHIPPING—This Day. LONDON, Aug. 17.—Wind this day at noon—South- Webterly ; fresh breeze, and fine weather.

It really appears as if political affairs had taken an im portant peaceful turn within the last few days; at least the Ministry for Foreign Affairs here is entirely free from anxiety respecting the replies of the three Powers. But a more significant sign is a communique published in to-day's Journal de St. Petersbur g , th e ev id en t o bj ec t o f w hi c h i s toprove stateof to the Russi an pu bli c t h at t hi s more favoura b le things has in no way been obtained by yielding on the part of the Russian Government, and thus to anticipate the statement to this effect which will probably be made by the foreign press. Bat of course foreign susceptibilities must be spared, and so this eon tee is perfectly colon:- less, as will be seen from the following n : tq text :—" In reading the foreign journals one is every to alr e s b truck by one regret able fact. Whether it is a d e sire to embarrassment, informed than they really are, or whether it is reaalsi in creased by the necessity of judging a ron the different shades of which they do not perceive, itfact that they daily work upon the public mind by comments which help neither to enlighten nor tranquillise it. If the Russian Government maintains in its re pli es a firm and dignifiedsia n language, these journals complain of defiance; while if it adds to its declaration a shade of politeness, changing nothing de facto in its ideas, but rendering more intelligible views which have never ceased to be conciliatory, these same journals proclaim that Russia makes concessions and yields. " These opposite interpretations are both equally far from the truth. They have no kind of influence on the Russian public, which very well knows that their Sove reign, suppported by the energetic and unanimous opinion of the country, is conscious of the great interests which he is called upon to protect. But this is not the case with the foreign public, which is excited and led into error by these false representations. We must again warn it against this influence. The Imperial Cabinet continues to be inspired by a desire for conciliation and for the good understanding to which it has been challenged by the great Powers. The care of his Majesty the Emperor for the welfare of his sub jects is restricted by no geographical boundaries. " The bearing which his Majesty has prescribed for his Cabinet is inspired by this sentiment and by the dignity and interest of Russia. " Let the foreign press take these observations for their guide in future comments." LEMBERG, Aug. 12. . _ The Gazette Aarodowa publishes some intelligence re specting the strength and position of the insurrectionary forces in the palatinate of Lublin. The different insur gent corps are commanded by Zielinski, Jenkowski, Rucki, Wiezbicki, Krysinski, and Laski ; the whole of these corps are under the general command of Lelewel, and aro de signed to co-operate together. The first general movement of these corps was not very fortunate. The insurgents en deavoured on the 23d July with about 1,600 meu to force the centre of the Russian force under Chruschtochew, and drive them towards an ambuscade, but the insurgents fell into their own trap, and found the positions they intended to take up already occupied by the Russians, who threw themselves on the advancing division of the insurgents, and defeated them in detail. The victory, however, was not a very important one, for the Russians retired to Lublin, and the insurgents dispersed to the forests. In the Cracow dis trict there are the corps of Cbimelewski, and the gendar merie force of Bogus, who has 200 men (cavalry) under him, besides numerous small corps of insurgents. Chime lewski's corps greatly distinguished itself at the battles of Janow and Sezemin. It is about 300 strong, well armed and equipped. Bogust lately destroyed nearly an entire division of dragoons who had been drawn into an ambush. KALISCH, August 12. . The insurrection becomes more widespread and violent in our country. The commission for carrying out a general levy has, for this reason, established its head quarters at Warta, about 20 English miles from this place. Men be tween 18 and 40 years old are drafted, so that within a month at least 100,000 men may take the field. Our town is called upon to furnish 18,000 raen. Taczanowski has been removed from the command of the cavalry regiment, and has been replaced by a Major Kapoernicki, formerly in the Russian service. On the other hand, the National Government has conferred on Taczanowaki t he office of civil governor. The transmission of news through the country has now become very difficult, and residence here begins to be dangerous for neutrals and non-participants in the strife. Federal Facts and tui-English Fancies. (From the Army and Navy Gazette.) It strikes us that there is an unusual mode adopted by most of our public writers and journal ists in dealing with the course of events in the Ame rican clvil war. The question most important to us here in England is of a military and political, not of a philosophical and metaphysical character. Whether the Americans lose or recover their liber ties—whether they destroy or preserve State rights —whether they respect or annihilate the consitu lion, is for them a vital problem ; but it does not so much practically concern us in Great Britain at the present moment, however curious and interesting for historical students it may be to study the words and acts of the model republicans: Great Britain is much more intimately concerned in the hard facts of the terrible war than in speculations as to greenbacks, habeas corpus, martial law, arbitrary arrests, taxation, and the like. She is most deeply interested in trying to discover whether the North is about to become a great military and naval power, with an overwhelming and triumphant army, and a fleet of great strength in their own waters. What use, then, is there in prophesying or speculating, in view of the facts before our eyes ? These facts are, the retreat of Lee to the neighbourhood of Rich mond, after a disastrous attempt on Pennsylvania, founded, it appears, on a miscalculation of the re sources of the Confederate Government in men, and the consequent reoccupation by the Federals of the ShenandoahValleyand the line of the Rappahannock; the complete possession of the Mississippi by the Federals, so that, contrary to our expectations, trade has commenced between St. Louis and New Or leans ; their solid establishments in Tennessee, and their less tranquil, but not less secure sway over Kentucky; their undisputed dominancy in the State of Mississippi itself; their approach to the frontiers of Georgia and Alabama ; their grip of the sea board tightening gradually; their strongholds es tablished along the coast of No rth Carolina and South Carolina and Florida ; their effectual sever ance of the States of Texas and Arkansas from the rest of the Confederacy ; and their undisturbed hold of Missouri. Add to this catalogue the danger very imminent to Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile, of destruction or capture by the Federal forces, had the increasing stringency cf the Federal blockade— the vast losses of men not to be replaced on the part of the Confederacy, and the constant spread of Federal conquest ; and it requires philosophy, metaphysics, historical parallels, and immense faith to believe that the South can continue her resistance to the North in the field, or preserve her States from the sway of Washington pro - consuls. On the other hand, there is said to be dissension in the North— there certainly have been riots in some Northern cities—the people will not enlist, and will not suffer conscription to be enforced. They will all be ruined by a financial crisis. The war is only carried on by "shoddy contractors"—very gallant must they be —and politi c i ans , an d c l ergy — ver y numerous. an d very vali an t must t h ey b e too . The country i s to vast that it cannot be conquered or held . The North is not in earnes t or is tired of t he war, or is cor rupt, or, cowardly, and only fig hts with Irish a n d German hands, which won't strike any longer—i n fact, something is to take place which has ce r t a i n l y not yet taken place, an d which is 15 just now pressing to undo th e k not of facts accomplished which l under the Southern `let oe us stick now to our hard Let us cantle facts. In Je , Y , - ; 1861, atter the battle of Bull Ruh, of the Southern th e boundary Confederacy, as drawn by their bayonets in actual line, ran through the line of the Potomac, the centre of Kentucky, and t h e centre of Missouri. The Confederates held the Green river, had camps at Columbus, from which they threatened Cairo, and encamped higher up in Missouri, held St. Louis itself in alarm ; they had possession of every seaport south of Baltimore; they had a blockade of the Potomac. Fort Pickens was the solitary standpost for the Federal flag in Southern seas. The line has now receded far in deed, and to it have marched up the advancing Federals. This has been accomplished, we are told, at the cost of an actual debt, on the Ist of July, 1863, of 1,097,274,356 dollars, or, in round numbers, of £219,600,000. Gold stands at 24 premium in New York; in Richmond it is 1100 premium. THE LITTLE MISERIES OF HUMAN LIEF.—A sedulow female correspondent who crosses her letters, says a Saturday Reviewer, a man who bores you with raptures about his angel, stupid parties, and wet picnics, are tribu• lations which may be comparatively minor, but yet fill a grievous space in the average life of man.

SPORTING NOTES. The York Meeting commences to-morrow, but it will not throw much light on the St. Leger, as none of the favourites arc expected to enter an appearance. Lord Clifden, after having been knocked about in the betting, has now returned to his old price. I believe it is only a matter of health for him to place this rich stake to his noble owner's credit. The Yorkshire Oaks, in the absence of Queen Bertha, will be secured by Marigold. The Con vivial Stakes will be between Durham and King George, now that Paris has been withdrawn. The Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 soya. each will be secured by Mr. Merry's nomination. The Three-year-old Biennial has been patronised to the same extent as the Convivial, and among the long array of names attached to it are those of The Ranger, Trumps, Avenger, Scamander, Onesander, Old Orange Girl, and King of Utopia, Naturally the prefer ence of the public will be given to The Ranger, whose form, from the way La rouging ran at Goodwood, is very nearly the best of the year, and should Mr Savile run him for it, he will, is my opinion, have no cause for regret. Should he, however, be kept back for the Great Yorkshire on Thursday, then Lord Stamford's representative. Avenger or Onesander, will be found the hardest to beat, The Bramham Park stakes of 100 soya each will hardly furnish a race, Borealis seeming to hold her opponents quite safe; and in the Sweeptakes that stands next in suc cession to it, I fancy Bonny Breastknot :nay just beat Citadel. The Chesterfield Handicap has thirty subscribers, and as the distance is only a mile, I venture to think that Bertha or Trump Queen will be returned the winner. On Wednesday the sport will commence with the two-yr-old Biennial, which is rich enough to insure a good assemblage of two-yr•olds at the post. Much will depend upon the result of the Convivial, as to the issue of this race, the no minations being eo much alike. Hollyfox, it is reported, will not run at present ; neither will Blair Athol show him self in the other race. Scottish Chief does not run, Crytheia is penalised 31b, and as Linda has an allowance of 31b, I shall give the preference to Mr. Naylor's filly. The Ebor St. Leger, in the absence of The Ranger, will be won by Lord Glasgow's Physalis colt. For the Ebor Handicap the field will be made up from the following : Caller Ou, 5 yrs, 9st lib Oldminster, 5 yrs, Bst 91 Doyle. Carisbrook, 4 yrs, Bst W. Boyce, Fantail, 3 yrs, 6st 21b Loates. Maguum Bonum, 4 yrs, 7st 131 b Corey. Bellman, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b The Monk, 6 yrs, 6st 131 b J. Grimshaw, Piccador, 4 yrs, Est 101 b Golden Pledge, 3 yrs, Est Carroll. Clarior, 3 yrs, 6st Melrose, 3 yrs, sst 121 b Noble. Trust, 3 yrs, sst 101 b J. Mason. Wasp g, 3 yrs, sst 71b Caller Ou, if the Lewis running was correct, can have no chance with Bellman at the weights, Carisbrook would prefer a hilly course, and besides he has the worst of the weights with Bellman. The latter will be near winning, but I do not think he will beat Lord Zetland's horse. Oldminster and Magnu m l3onum have both penalties of 14 1b5., which puts out any chance they might have had. The Mouk, if he can only stay the distance, must be very formidable, as he has sa much the best of the weights. Ficcador's running at Goodwcod with Ace of Clubs I entirely throw aside, as the latter, having now recovered his wind, is one of the best horses in training, and it was no disgrace for him to be beat. \Vita the lenient weight of Gst 101 b, I think he will land the stakes for his noble owner. Clarior, Golden Pledge, Fantail, and Melrose I have no fancy for. It will be seen from the above that I expect the judge will pint) PICCADOB, THE MONK 2 BELLMAN 3 Tho York Cup will be won by M ac aroni if Mr. Naylor pla t him out. A FRESH MAN. KENSINGTON, or the I' Old Court SUbUrb,'' as London Leigh H i? loved the vedt o call it, is spoken o f b y the spot where the great red-bri c k pa lace of William and Mary reposes with a kind o f D utch somno l e ncy in the midst of its leafy woodland—where the solid,p warm tinted,• high-roofed houses of the R evo l u ti onary h yet linger in the High•stre e t,— where the quaint, epoch brick-built church, with its for ma l row of pollard, trees in front, still stands in the mid-stream of omnibuses and cabs —where Holland House, in which Addison lived and died, rises venerably from among its trees, though, at the Not ting-hill end, the park is being invaded by a road of new houses—where the mansion built by Princess Ann and Prince George of Denmark remains side by side with the ruins of the still older Campden House, recently destroyed by fire, after an existence of two centuries and a half— where the dwelling once tenanted by Sir Isaac Newton hides away in a back street, and the shadows of 18th cen tury wits and statesmen are visible to the literary eye at every equare yard of ground. " THE ARCHIMANDRITE NILOS."—This moat reverend ecclesiastic of the Greek Church was to Lave the Coburg Hotel, Charles-street, Grosvener-square, on Saturday last, for Paris, en route for Constantinople. In the morning of Friday the Archimandrite paid a farewell visit to the Lord Bishop of London, at Fulham Palace; izi the afternoon of the same day, Miss Burdett Coutta had the honour of receiving the Archimandrite at her villa, Holly Lodge, Highgate. The Archimandrite has been, we are informed, for many years principally resident at Constan tinople, at which court he is "the official representative of the four Greek Patriarchs," and he is also "head of the community of the Holy Mountain" (comprising the various monasteries of Mount Athos). The Archimandrite's visit to England and France, we believe, has had reference to the recent conduct of Prince Couza, Hospodar of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, in seizing the lands and revenues of the dedicated convents in the Prin cipalities, and in imprisoning and ill-treating certain of the' monks. THE OftDNANCE EXPERIMENTS AT NEWHAVEN. —These experiments were continued daily during last week up to Saturday, when they were suspended fur the purpose of enabling the earthwork that served as a target to bo cleared of the pieces of shell and other debris. On an ave rage about 60 rounds of shot and shell have been fired each day, with varying results. On Friday a 10-inch Smooth bore gun was added to the battery, which now mounts nine pieces of hekvy ordnance. The town of Newhaven has presented quite a military appearance while these ea. periments have been conducted, and has been visited by numerous military and naval cfhcers in addition to those officially engaged in the experiments. A visit from the Duke of Cambridge was expected on Friday; but his Royal Highness, it was understood, was prevented from being present in consequence of indisposition. The eve• riments will be returned on Thursday nest. CRYSTAL PALACE.-1141F-CROWN DAY, Satur day, Aug. 15.—Admissions on payment, 1,108; ditto by season tickets, 1 ,7 6 9.
