XONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAT 4 INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE OCLOCK. Although the demand for discounts ' continues tolerably active, the quotations indicate an easier tendency, and instances are reccrded of bills being negotiated at 31 per cent. A further suoa of £38,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, but 100,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation to the Brazils. The Magdalena, which left to-day for the Brazils, con veys £149,680, including the above amount of Sovereigns. The City of Washington has brought £159,560, acid the Kangaroo £16,970 from New York.

The half -yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of British Columbia took place to-day—Mr. T. W. L. Mackean in the chair. The report,which r ecommended a dividend for the past nine months at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income t ax, was carried. It was stated that the profits to the 30th June last, after deducting all charges, amount e d to £7,101, and that a new branch had been opened at Freshfield, in British Columbia, in the midst of the gold fields. There have been several variations in the English Funds since yesterday afternoon ; at that time they closed at a decline of per cent,, and daring the earlier part of this morning another fall of k, amounting altogether to per cent., was reported. The down ward tendency was, no doubt, induced by sales for the purpose of terminating outstanding accounts for a rise. The receipt, however, of better prices from the :Paris Bourse, has produced a re covery of k; and Consols, which have been 931 for money, and 931 1. for the Bth proximo, are now 931 1 and 931 'i f respectively. Only a iew dealings have taken place in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities, which are 921 1, and Exchequer Bills par to prem. The India 6 Per Cent. Loan is marked 1081 1, and the 5 per Cent.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) RE LIEUT.-COL. DICKSON.-RELEASE FROM CUSTODY. This was an application on behalf of Lieut.-Col. Dickson, late of the Royal Tower Hamlets Militia, for discharge from custody. The case of Dickson and the Earl of Wilton and others are fresh in the memory of our readers, and it is stated that the bankrup'cy arose through the bankrupt not being able to meet his engagements, in consequence of the result of the verdict and consequent costs. The bankrupt, who had been for some time in a " lock up" house, but subsequently was removed to Whitecross street prison, now surrendered under the bankruptcy. Mr. Linklater said he appeared ,for Mr. Vick, the petitioning creditor. Mr. Lucas said he appeared for Messrs. Lee, detaining creditors, to oppose the release on the first ground that there was no petitioner's debt, that none was due to the petitioning creditor, and therefore that the petition was invalid altogether. Mr Linklater said that the adjudication had been made by his Honour, and this is the time to dispute it. Mr. Lucas said that the petitioning creditor is amply seca:ed. Mr. Linklater—The learned counsel denies the petitioning creditor's debt, yet says he is amply secured. Mr. Lucas —Secondly, the bankrupt had not given up his property. At all events, if your Honour think it a case for release, it ought to be on bail. Mr. Linklater—You are raising a legal issue as to the existence of the debt, and that cannot be tried in this way. Mr. Lucas—There must be both a legal and equitab_e debt. His Honour—l am asked not to release the bankrupt from custody, but you do not give any evidence. Mr. Lucas—l will examine the bankrupt as to his pro perty. Mr. Linklater—lt is a most ungracious opposition. His Honour—What have I got to do with the matter further than to say whether the bankrupt ought to be re leased? Mr. Lucas—lt is a fictitious debt, and he has not given up his property. His Honour—lf he has not be must meet his creditors; he can meet them out as well as in prison. Mr. Linklater said that the property was well protected, to the satisfaction of his client and the oficial assignee. His Honour—Then you do not object. Mr. Linklater—Certainly not. His Honour—Then I grant the order of release. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—T I s Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT beforeo f a baker, alkierKl i THROUGH nv ionxgi withG r J teh E a a et L f woo following w v. d mi — n .sn violenttnr e S e t t , e v aw e s n as s sa , u t cl h ht e a or w nsr i e f da e female named Mary Widdey, her next door neighbour. The complainant, the upper part of whose head was en veloped in a bandage, staid that between 10 and 11 the pre vious night she was in the Red Lion public-house, Little Windmill-street, when the prisoner came in and began joking with her, and called her an out-of-the-way name, and afterwards took up a pint glass and flung it at her. Her head was badly cut, and Mr, Harris, surgeon, of Great Windmill-street, was called in to dress the wound. A young man named Thomas Webb, of 11, Little Wind mill-street, said he heard some joking going on between the two females, who seemed to be very jealous of each other. He saw the prisoner take up the glass and throw it at the complainant, cutting her head very badly—the wound being a very serious one. He did not think at first that the prisoner meant to throw the glass, and could not say whether it was intentional or not. Thomas Dennison, 116 C, said he found the complain ant's head badly cut, and the prisoner said she had received great provccation, the complainant having thrown some water over her. Prisoner said complainant threw a quantity of water over her before she threw the glass. Mr. Knox said ho should remand the prisoner for a week, as it was impossible at present to tell the result of the in jury complainant bad received, and the surgeon must then attend. Even if the complainant had thrown water at the prisoner, the prisoner had no business to throw a glass at her. The prisoner was then remanded. A Claim upon the Confederate Government. Mr. R. R. Belehaw has addressed a letter to Lord Russell, setting forth a series of wrongs which he alleges he hes sustained at the hands of the Confe derate government. He states that he was engaged in business at Montgomery, Alabama, when the war broke out. He was a British subject, and was very generally known to be so. This, however, did not save him from the conscription, for he tells us that—" Last February I was arrested as a con script in my own house by the enrolling officer of the de facto government, and, under a strong mili tary force, conveyed to the guard-house, where I was detained three days and nights and then re leased. Notwithstanding the production of my con sular certificate of nationality and compliance with the requieements of the Secretary of - War, I was again arrested in the name of the de facto govern ment, taken from my residence, hurried off to Camp Watts, in Alabama, and from thence to Gen. Bragg's army in Tullahoma. Several other British subjects were also sent at the same time by Major Swanson, the commandant of conscripts for the state. He had them forwarded under guard, in chains, with heavy iron collars riveted on their necks. Oa our arrival in Tullahoma we were all put into the guardhcuse, an abominably filthy den. After being there nearly a week, a Confederate officer came in one e.ay to know if we would volunteer. Under the circum stances, we declined to embrace the opportunity of fighting for his country. In this way he called seve ral times to know if we thought any better of it, until at last, finding the inducements were not suffi ciently strong, he came one day and took us out to the Provost Marshal's office. While there, he tried to coerce us into takihg the oath of allegiance to his Government amid the jeers and taunts of a crowd of commissioned officers whose hatred of England was only equalled by their affected ignorance of her power. Our party, consistin g of Danish, German, and British subjects all refused to renounce our allegiance. We were then put into the camp of the let Louisiana. On refusing to do duty the next day (in obedience to the Queen's proclamation), I underwent the punishment known as" bucking," in front of General Bragg's head quarters, and also the others, after which we were turned into the guardhouse. On our refusal again, some days,"afterwards, " bucking," was repeated, with the addition of water being thrown over some of us. Still continuing to refuse, I was subse quently tied up by the thumbs half en hour to the rafters of the guardhouse, along with an other Britsh subject named Kelly, a graduate of the queen's College, Galway. I saw him after wards undergo the punishment called by those who practice it "spread eagle," a kind of cruci fixion. On another occasion I saw him held head downwards in a tank of water three times until almost drowned. The punishment of slaves has been inflicted on us with a full knowledge of our nationality, and within a few yards of General Bragg's head-quarters, i❑ the presence of at least 50 or 100 spectators. For refinement of cruelty and democratic insolence generally, Colonel Straw bridge and his creole commissioned officers of the Ist Louisiana stand unrivalled. The de facto Government have now assumed the respon sibility by a decision of their highest court at Mobile, of declaring me liable to military service. This trial cost me 4,000 dole., to which must be added 3,000 dole, for a substitute, which was only good for a short time, as I was notified by the authorities for six months' service in North Alabama. Seeing there was no end to the imposition and out rage, I left, and at the expense of 3,000 dels. more I am so far home oat of the Southern Confederacy. Having been unable to close my estate, I have left my sister in charge of it, as to her exertions on my behalf, more than to the money actually expended, lam indebted for my deliverance from captivity." Mr. Belshaw submits that be has made out a case for compensation, and calls upon Lord Russell to make the necessary demands upon the Southern Government. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. (Before Mr. Sergeant Gazelee.) Two men, named Macey and Fitzjohn, were indicted for robbing their employer ; and Henry Austin was indicted for receiving the property, well knowing it to have been stolen. The first two prisoners were carmen in the service of Messrs. Marshall, who resided near Hendon, and the offence they stood charged with was that they, against the order of their employer, went into the corn store and took a quantity of corn, alleging that it was for the purpose of feeding their horses. They, however, were seen to stop at the Cock publichouse, Kilburn, when one of them took the nosebag, which was then full, out of the cart , and go with it to A us ti n, who was engaged in superintending horses there. When the prisoner returned it was found he had disposed of the corn, and then the men were charged with feloniously did posing of the property of Mee srs. Marshall, and Austin with receiving it. The learned judge summed up the case, an d the jury returned a verdict of guilty against all three prisoners, but strongly recommended them to mercy. Sergeant Gazelee, in passing sentence, said it was to be regretted that men possessing a good character should stand in their position. It was much to be regretted that a very lax state of morality existed amongst a certain class of per sons who thought that, providing they did not take the whole of their master's property, it was no harm to appropriate a portion of it to their own benefit. He was sorry that that state of things existed, and in the present instance it was thought that because the Messrs. Mai shall had a great quantity of property, which was, to some extent, under the care of the prisoners, that therefore it was no harm to sell some of it. Had the receiver, Austin, not received a recommendation to mercy, h e should have felt it his duty to pass a very severe sen tence on him ; because if there were no receivers there would be no thieves. Under all the circumstances, he felt justified in passing a comparatively mild sentence, as the jury had recommended them all to mercy. He should sentence each of them to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. B.—We have had a large business transacted in yarns, both single and double. The demand has embraced all descriptions, for all markets, and many yarns have been sold at an advance of ld. per lb. on the rates current last Friday. Sellers in some instances have asked even a greater advance than this. The market has been very excited, and closes strong and buoyant, with an upward tendency. We do not remember often to have seen a more lively end animated feeling. Home trade, or cop yarns, have participated freely in the demand, and this branch of the market has also been rather excited. Th e prices of cops have advanced id. to ld. per lb. as compared with Friday, and there has been a fair business done. The cloth market has shared in the excitement which prevails in that for yarns, and which is to a great extent the result of the state of things prevailing in the Liverpool cotton mar ket. Since Friday a rather uncertain feeling had prevailed among manufacturers and holders of cloth as to what prices should be asktd, and buyers had been equally at a loss what offers they ehou'd make, but to-day there has been a decided advance upon nearly all descriptions of cloth, and pretty nearly to the extent of the rise upon cotton. They have not been able to obtain this advance in all cases, and it has had the effect of limiting business. The inquiry has been very active, and buyers would have been glad to give out large orders at the old rates. In some cases they have consented to give the advance, but not to any great extent. The inquiry has been pretty general and has embraced de scriptions of goods suited to nearly all markets, home and foreign, and has to some extent partaken of a specula tive character. Both buyers and sellers are watching the market somewhat keenly, and it has been pretty obvious that buyers would have supplied themselves more freely if they could have felt that the prices demanded to-day would become firmly established. The fact that some of the busi ness doing is of a speculative character no doubt operates to render thew cautious, though there can be little doubt that spinners and manufacturers have such large engagements as to encourage a belief in this direction. Messrs. J, Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market : " From Tuesday last to the close of the week there was no material change in the market, and the moderate amount of business done was at the extreme prices of this day week. Yesterday and to. day, owing to the course of the cotton market, there has been considerable excitement here ; but, as manufacturers hold firmly for an advance in proportion to that on cotton, there has been very little business done." LEEDS, Bth.—The woollen cloth trade keeps steady in all departments, and for a Tuesday's market an average amount of business has been done in the cloth halls to-day. The bulk of the sales has been those of witneys, meltons, pilots, and other heavy fabrics for winter, with a fair portion of tweeds and ordinary black cloths. Mixed witneys in fancy shades, command a ready sale. Indeed, novelties are sought for, but not many are offered in the public market. Prices are very firm, tho various raw materials used in the woollen trade being high. The flax trade is active, and both threads and yarns are in good consumptive demand at late prices. The raw material is scarcely so firm as it was, the reports as to the new crop inspiring hopes on the part of spinners that a slight reduction may be reasonably looked for. NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—There was a better attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was more active, higher prices being asked for and obtained. For hosiery yarns an advance of le. per bundle was asked, but the demand was by no means brisk. Silks unaltered. The demand for brown nets was decidedly worse, and 8 t , c u k t 8 g o t like mediums i makers c ou ld no t o b ta i n w i th i n 10 per cent. o f pr i m e cost.

The basket was carefully filled, and straw was pressed down on the top of all. Nothing was then needed but a lid, to procure which the busy tradesman entered his premises. During his ab. Bence a tumbril, used for the collection of the sewage and refuse of that part of the city, came along, and the driver, seeing the basket, immediataly empted the contents into his receptacle. The clockmaker's astonishment at finding his empty basket on his return may :be imagined. His loud cries attracted the neighbours, who, seeing the scaver, oer in the distance, guessed what had become of the el and they were soon recovered, but doeiciedly tb 0 - . r :, worse for the immersion they had undergone, WESTMINSTER. AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.—WiIIiam White, a cab driver, was charged with being drunk and incapable of driving. _ _ J. Clarke, 273 A, said that he was on duty in the Ring's road last night, when his attention was attracted to the de fendant, who was driving a Hansom cab at a great pace on the wrong side of the road. After proceeding a short distance he ran up against a four-wheeled cab and upset it. Mr. Arnold—Was there anybody in the cab ? Witness—Yes, a lady and gentleman. The defendant's cwn cab was also upset, and he fell heavily upon his shoulder end aide of the head. Mr. Arnold—The black eye he has is the worst I ever saw. I wonder that his skull was not fractured. Witness—Had he fallen three or four inches more in ad vance he must have split his head open. Mr. Arnold—He has had a very fortunate escape. Witness—He was insensible for a long timo in conse• quence of the fall. Mr. Arnold—Was there any one in his cab at the time of the collision? Witness—Yes, a lady. Mr. Arnold—Was she hurt, and what became of her? Witness—She was not hurt, I believe; the cab turned over, and I helped the lady out. As soon as I did so she walked away without waiting a moment. Defendant—l was not drunk. The lady poked the flap up and was talking to me, and that took off my attention, and so the accident occurred. Witness—When he recovered, it was quite clear that he was drunk. Enock Pulford—l was on duty at the station when the defendant was brought there. There was no doubt about his being drunk. The proprietor and driver of the other cab were in attend ance, and the driver said that the constable's account of the transaction was perfectly correct. Mr. Arnold—The charge at present before me is only one of drunkenness. I have nothing at present to do with the damage you have caused. I have no doubt of your drunkenness, but, in consideration of the cost you will doubtless be at, and the injury you have sustained, I shall only fine ycu ss. THAMES, "ELEANOR'S VICTORY."- 1 withered old Irishwoman, named Eleanor M'Cormack, who has been very trouble some to the shopkeepers in and near Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a pound and a half of bacon from the shop of Mr. John Crew, a cheesemonger, No. 1, Commercial-road East. It appeared from the evidence of Henry Phipps, the pro secutor's shopman, that be saw the prisoner loitering about his master's shop and watched her. She managed, how ever, unperceived to snatch a piece of bacon from the shop board, and put it under her shawl. A. few seconds after wards Mr. Phipps missed the bacon, and went after the prisoner. He took the piece of meat from ber, and gave her into the custody of police-constable Chandler, 117 H, to whom she said that she took the bacon for a lark, but the proprietor of the shop and his servants were not at all disposed to treat the matter as a joke, because they had lost pieces of cheese and lumps of bacon when Eleanor had visited them before, and insisted on her . being locked up. Chandler said the prisoner had been in custody fifty times for pilfering from the shops, and that bread, meat, vege tables, or anything that came in her way, had been stolen by her. She had been repeatedly punished for theft. The prisoner, who groaned incessantly, called all the saints in the calendar to bear witness she was a lone widdy woman, and that she was as innocent as the blessed babies that were niver born. Mr. Woolrvch—You make a business of this. You go from shop to ;hop pilfering. I sentence you to three months imprisonment and hard labour. Eleanor anathematised Chandler as she was leaving the dock, a n d sa id, "Y e mur th er i ng v illain, ye would trans port me if y e dared. Only three months, ye villain — this is my v i ctory, an d b e h ange d t o you I" A.TTEXPTED SUICIDE. COMMITTAL ion TRIAL . Marg aret Gibbons, a wretched and dissipated w o m an, who has been repea t e dl y i n cus t o dy, was brought before Mr. Woolry c h , charged with being drunk and disorde rl y , and attem pting self-destruction. The prisoner has made repeated unsuccessful attempts to co mmit suicide. She has plunged into t he docks on several o ccasions and been rescued. Sh e h a s hung herself in the police cells, and in the cells attached to the Thames Police -e. Court, being cut,down before life was ext inct. Mr . 1, ooarych has i n th e ki n d es t man ner endeavoured to re claim her, and often spoken to her on the fol l y an d wretched ness of h er course of life, when she was last rem anded to the Hou se of Detention for a week, that she might receive the spirit ual advice and exhortations of the chap l a i n . Roche, th e answerable for her life, if she was left alone for a m inut e; and B'B she wa s gaoler of the Court, said he cou ld not b e se nt aw a y i n a ca b di re ct to the House of De tention. Last sight the prisoner was in King D avid-lan e , Sbadwell, making a disturbance in front of the statio n . house there. S he was intoxicated and very muc h exc i te d . She was taken • into the station and locked up. A few minutes afterwards Charles Witt, a police•constable, went into the cell where the prisoner was confined, and, although another woman was alongside of her, she had contrived to fasten a piece of tap e round her neck, and he r face was s wollen and discol oured. The constable said 44 What do y o u mean by this,.. ane. ~, Cut the tape. He sprink l e d wat er her, an d l e f t h er. H a lf-an -hour after on her face, revived this a second alarm w as -- given.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe4.r that gold is about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than In Paris. By adyices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 135 to 135/ per cent., and the premium on gold about 22/ per cent. At these prices there is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Course of the Exchange—Yesterday.

The jockey, Cannon, fortunately ex tricated himself from the stirrups without receiving any injury. The horse then dashed away at a fearful pace.

" Les Femmes du 'Theatre des Delasmneuts.Coroiquis. Sport," has just brought out at the Volunteer Review and Sham Fight at Lamb- ton Park, Durham. I On Monday, a large number of the Durham corps were reviewed at Lambton Park, the seat of the Earl of Durham. The prizes won in a recent com petition were distributed by the countess, who was present on the occasion, with Lady Williamson and three of her children. There was afterwards a sham fight ; and at the close of the evolutions review ing officer, Colonel M‘Murdo,add the sed the men who had taken part in them. He said he would not detain Lord Durham and the volunteers at that hour further than to express to his lord ship the pleasure he had bad in inspecting the volunteers of the county under his lordship's e jurisdiction. The movements that we re at first performed being movements of drill purposely per formed from his order and under his commend were very good ; but if they wished to acquire steadiness of movement in brigade and to make themselves really serviceable, he should advise them—if they would take his advice—to eschew for the future sham fights. They might rely upon it that the few movements they performed at the beginning of that day did them more good in the ten minutes or quar ter of an hour that they were engaged in them than the sham fight just concluded. Sham fights were apt to unsettle the best of troops. It was impossible so to attempt the movements of a sham fight as to make it look like a real one without showing a great want of combination and a great want of un derstanding between men and officers. That arose from the inability of volunteers to assem ble often in brigade, and their inability to spend more than a few hours for any purpose like that for which they were now assembled, and for which they only met together about once in a year. There fore, these fights only tended to unsettle them until they could acquire greater steadiness in brigade drill. In making these remarks he did not mean to say they were unsteady. He spoke of them by contrasting the movements they performed in the beginning of the day with the movements they per formed at the end of the day. The movements they performed in the beginning of the day did real good in improving their steadiness; but the movements they had performed since tended to produce nothing but unsteadiness both in their body and mind. Now in commanding a brigade he had to impress on officers commanding battalions especially that they would do well to obey implicitly the orders they received from the general officer. Without the most im plicit obedience there all that they did was likely to be very far wrong. When they were marching upon the fort they should not have to be told that there was an enemy firing at them in front. Now by a mistake of an order he found a body of artil lery at the beginning of the fight had gene up to and within a hundred yards of the enemy's posi tion. That occurred chiefly from the daring of the outposts in their zealousness, but it was also a misunderstanding of orders given. Hence, if they were to derive any instruction from these sham fights, it was most important that they should p a y implicit obedience to the orders con veyed to them. Before he left them he must con gratulate them upon the present state of the Volunteer force. He had had much to do with that force of late at meetings such as had been held that day. He had seen the county forces of a great number of the counties of England, and from what be there saw he was able to say that they had increased in numbers and in efficiency. A gallant friend of his who was there present had read a paper to the British Association the other day. He had read a report of it in the Times. He did not know whether the report was true or not true, but he was rather surprised to find it stated that the volunteers were falling away—that the musters were fewer and fewer. He should have been very glad indeed if his gallant friend before he read the paper had asked him a few questions as to whether that were so or it were not. He should have told him that the volunteer force was never in a higher state of efficiency than they were at present as compared with former years. He thought that it was almost too much that the old ladies who had listened to a former paper in which it was said that England was falling away and could not last another 200 years—(laugh ter)—after that it was too much for them to hear that the volunteer movement was also falling away. (Laughter.) He thought we were yet far from ex hausting the resources of England, and that et all events one consolation remained he thought that England would always be the Old England that she at present was. (Loud cheers.) He had already said that the volunteers were in a state of groat efficiency. He did not know what the regimental muster here might be; he could only say that the Government were of opinion that too much drill was not necessary for volunteers. They were intellectual men, who, having once learned drill, would find that the limited number of attendances required by the corps would be sufficient to keep up their efficiency. He would not detain his lordship and them any longer, but again express the pleasure he had had in seeing the volunteers of his lordship's county. The Earl of DURHAM said he would add nothing o what they had heard, but would simply call upon ,hem to give three cheers for Colonel 111‘Murdo. Three lusty cheers were given for the gallant officer. Colonel Al‘MunDo could not allow such a compli ment to pass unanswered. He knew that they would join with him in giving three cheers for the lord lieutenant. _ _ . Three hearty cheers were given •for his lordship by the united forces. The total force on the field was 1,882 men, —Newcastle Chronicle. ZOOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION. At the last sitting of the French Academy of Sciences M. Chevreul explained his plan for a new classification of the animal kingdom. His principle may be briefly stated as follows :—Under the pre sent system, in which the physical organ i sa ti o n of the animal is taken for a guide, it often happens that its intellectual development is often at va riance with its physiological state. Thus, the Quadrumana precede the Carnivora in the pre sent system, the organisation of the former being superior to that of the latter. Now if we take the ourang-outang, chimpanzee, and gorilla as types of the Quadrumana, both their organisation and intellectual faculties will induce us to place them immediately after man. But the makis, which are also quadrumanous, and therefore precede the ear"' the dog yore, are far below some of them, such and phoca, as regards their intellectual is discre obviate the inconvenience resulting fr° tuaglties. To pancy between the physical and es d intellectual qualities to classify them of animals, M. Chevreul pr i op re e s s s, as is now the by shelves instead of e t 7 be centre of the upper case. Let us su ppose ma n; then, describing centre, a shelf to be occupied bY e , that the ourang-outang, ch i mpanzee , and g° circle from that r n" iii a , as placed at equal dis tu tances on the cirenferences, and other inferi or of qua drumana further off from th e scentre,pecies bat on the same shelf. Now l e t th e lower shel f be devoted to the carnivore, and l et t h e centrebe occupied by the best specie s , v i z the dog, phoca, bear, and cat; then the i n f er i or species will be arranged further and f urt h er from the centre according to the degree of their intellectual faculties. The advantage of this arrangement will be that, the dog being inferior to the most perfect kinds of quadrumana, will stand below them on the second shelf ; but being superior in sagacity to the makis, this circumstance is denoted by his being at the centre and the makis at a dis tance from it, though on the upper shelf. In the same way other shelves may be arranged for the orders immediately inferior to the carnivore in point of sagacity; and from this succession of shelves new relations may be discovered between species belong ing to different genera and orders. Mr. Robert I'Anson, the trainer, was riding a yearling off Lungton `Vold, on Sunday, when sud denly a hack horse, ridden by a gentleman a few yards ahead, commenced to back and kick, and hit Mr. I' Anson on the leg, inflicting very severe injuries.
