MONEY HARKE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No abatement of the recent activity displayed in discount circles is perceptible this morning. Out of doors the rate for first-class paper rules in many cases even higher than at the Bank of England, and the authorities are consequently experiencing a very large demand for money. A further sum of £68,000 in gold was taken in, and £21,000 withdrawn from the Bank yesterday. The prospectus has appeared of the Prince of Wales Hotel Company, Upper Norwood, with a capital of £lOO,OOO in shares of £lO each. The directors,who are highly respectable, and possess for their chairman Viscount Ranelagh, have made a conditional purchase of some eligible property known as the Mount, situated on Westow-hill. The mansion and its ornamental grounds will remain intact, and form an adjunct to the intended hotel structure. By this arrangement a large amount of building expenses will be avoided, and the proprietors en abled to commence business at an earlier day. The grounds cover nearly 10 acres in extent, are mostly freehold, only a very small portion of the land being leasehold, but which has nevertheless been secured at a nominal cost for a lengthened period. The new establishment will afford ample accommodation, containing about 250 apartments, with suites for families. One other feature which this undertak ing possesses is that no promoters' fees or any pre liminary expenses are to be paid. A considerable portion of the required capital is understood to have been privately subscribed. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) The vacation, as it is termed, having closed yesterday, his Honour now sat to hear some of the very numerous cases in arrear for last examination and discharge, but in a num ber of cases their accounts had not been filed, no doubt through the uncertainty when the meetings for discharge would be held, as none had been heard during the vacation, except those belonging to the Court of the Commission sitting on the day, consequently there is a great arrear of cases. 39k I The first case called was W. D. APPLEYARD. This bankrupt was a grocer at Foots Cray. This was a meeting for last examination. Mr. W. R. Buchanan was for the bankrupt. Mr.W. Sargood said that the accounts had not been filed, but the cause was the illness of the bankrupt's wife. His Honour said that the bankrupt must pay the costs. Mr. Sargood said he was prepared to do so now. _ _ Hie Honour said that an adjournment might be Taken, but it had better be fixed for a day after Mr. Commis sioner Fane's return, as Mr. Commissioner Holroyd would, on his return, not take Mr. Fane's cases. The adjournment was taken accordingly, IN RE FEARNLEY. This bankrupt was a coffee-house keeper at Camden town, and this was a meeting for last examination and dis charge. Mr. Bazley applied for an adjournment, no accounts having been filed. His Honour said it must be on the same terms as the last, the payment of costs, and the case would therefore be adjourned sine die, with liberty to apply. Mr. Bazley said the bankrupt was prepared to pay the costs into court, and asked for a day to be fixed, or it would be necessary to readvertise. His Honour said on the costs being paid he would fix a day. He did not like risking costs in such cases. IN RE WALLER. This bankrupt was a civil engineer at Bayswater, and this wss a meeting for last examination and discharge. There was no opposition. The accounts, by Mr. F. C. Hunt, Basinghall street, show, debtor £1,195; but the greatest part is to a creditor who is arranging the bankrupt's affairs iu India. The order of discharge was granted. STATE OF TRADE, CARDIFF, Sept. 30.—Trade continues brisk, not withstanding that the late heavy pressure upon busi ness which has been experienced in most depart ments of the dock trade, has somewhat subsided. The demand for steam coal continues great, and is not equalled by the supply. The arrivals of vessels continue numerous, and fresghts are similar to those last quoted, with a slight rise to the Mediterranean ports. Iron is also in increasing demand, and late prices are freely maintained, as well as those for coal. An extra 3d to 63 per ton for the latter is now given in urgent cases. DUNDEE, 29th.—Flax was in slow demand to day again, and sales could only be effected by meeting buyers to some extent. A few transactions are reported, but the total quantity sold was small. The better qualities are most wanted, the lower marks of this year's importation being very bad. Fine tow and codilla are in fair request, and main tain their value, but common sorts are very un saleable. There is a good inquiry for jute, and all qualities command a ready sale at a farther small advance, but the market is not well supplied. The demand for yarns was remarkably active to-day, and a farther advance was readily got on all qualities, flax, tow, and jute. A considerable quantity changed hands, and the sales might have been much more extensive had spinners been so inclined. The linen market was equally brisk, both for the home trade and for export. Several home trade buyers were in the market, but neither they nor those buying for shipment could place their orders to the extent they wanted. Prices of all descriptions of linens, including the coarse jute fabrics made here, and t he better classes of flax and tow goods made in the neighbouring towns, are all higher. LEICESTER, 30th.—There is continued activity in the hosiery trade, and the demand for both fancy and regular goods is still brisk. Manufacturers are well employed to order. In the country districts business is more healthy than for some time past. The yarn market is extremely firm, and very high prices are realised. Wools are selling at late rates, and the market is quiet. NOTTINGHAM, 30th.—There has been less busi ness doing in lace goods during the past few days than for some weeks past, especially in cotton fabrics. The demand also for black silk laces and edgings has not been so active, but quillings con tinue in tolerable request. Buyers purchase only what they require, and manufacturers produce ac cordingly, the market being kept very bare of stock. There is not much alteration in the hosiery trade, there being a tolerably good demand for goods, notwithstanding the high rate of yarns. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

GUILDHALL. A rough-looking follow, named Brown, a plasterer, was charged with assaulting his mother. The complainant having stated her case, Alderman Rale, addressing the prisoner, said—l suppose you earn good wages ? Prisoner—Yes; I earn a good bit of money, and I spend it. Alderman Hale—You, I suppose, think you have a pe vilege to abuse your mother. Prisoner—No, I don't, and I should like to see anybody that did. I won't give any promise, but if I can pre vent it, I'll not come here again, Alderman Hale—l don't think your sober now. Prisoner—Oh ain't I. I can speak as a gentleman should to a gentleman. (Laughter.) I like to B ?end money, and I'm thankful I can do it. (Laughter.) Alderman Hale.—l do not indeed think you are sober. Prisoner—Well, you can think what you please, but you can't always be right no more than other people. Alderman Hale—You shall not beat your mother with impunity. Prisoner—l don't want to, and I'll take care nobody else does. Every one forgets himself now and then. Alderman Hale—At all events prevent you beating her for some time to come. I shall send•you to prison for three months, and at the end of that term you must enter into sureties for good behaviour for six months. Prisoner—Oh, I'm to have three months, am I. all the harm I wish you old fellow, is that you may sit in that chair until I come out.

AUBER'S NEW OPERA, "La Fiancee du itoi des Garbes," has been put in rehearsal. COLLISION BETWEEN A FEDERAL CRUISER AND A BRITISH BARK. --The bark Jane Spiers, Capt. Scott, of and from Glasgow, bound to Trinidad with general cargo, when in lat. 14 N., and long. 45 W., was run into by the Federal (cruiser) ship Onward, and :sustained consi derable damage. The ship lay to immediately after the acci dent, and a boat was sent alongside the bark to ascertain the nature and extent of the damage, and the commander of the Onward sent a crew of his men to make all tight and strong, and paid Capt. Scott Dr.) for the damage done to the bark, and £5O additional for detention of ship while undergoing the necessary repairs. It is not quite certain whether the col lision was accidental or otherwise; and as Captain Scott re ports the weather clear at the time, though it was near midnight, a suspicion exists that the Onward might have run clear of the Jane Spiers, had a proper look out been kept on board of her. However, be the matter as it may, the captain of the Federal cruiser did all that was fair and honourable after the accident took place; and fortu nately for all concerned, it terminated so favourably. The Jane Spiers arrived hero safe on, the evening of the Ist iuet. —2/ inidad Colonist, Sept. 4. • Bir., Wol., and Str. Val. Blythe and Tyne. Bost.,Sleaf.,andMid.Co Bristol and Exeter Caledonian ...

BOW-STREET. - - WIFE BEATING.—Henry Vaughan was placed at the bar charged with violently assaulting his wife. Mrs. Vaughan said she carried on business in Holies' street, Clare-market. Last night, about 7 o'clock, the de fendant came home and struck her in a most violent rasp ner; she took no notice of that, but about 2 o'clock this morning, when she went upstairs to bed, he jumped out of bed and illtreated her so much that she had to be taken 10 the hospital. The police constable who took the charge confirmed the statement of the complainant, and stated that for some time past he had been in the habit of collecting crowds in kola of their shop by beating his wife, Mr. Henry—What have you got to say ? Defendant—l only roused her up because she was amt' ing so loud. I've been a teetotaller for some month., butl got a taste 3f spirits yesterday, and perhaps that had some effect on me. My wife's constantly getting drunk. Complainant—That is entirely untrul3. I took a sum• mons out against him about a fortnight ago, but I forgave him for his illusage, and did not appear against him. Mr. Henry—You have acted in a most unmanly manner, and before I dispose of the case I shall have further inqairy made.—Remanded. A BEGGAR OR ♦ TRADER.—EIIen James, an elderly woman, was charged with begging and annoying persons in the street. Prisoner—To begin with, I deny the begging. My hus band's in the workhouse, and I do some trade to get him tobacco. Mr. Henry—l must hear the charge against you. Police .constable The prisoner,your worship,after being cautioned persisted in begging of a gentleman that passed her. Prisoner—Beg ! I never begged a penny in my life. I carry oa a trade in pencils, but if a dear gentleman gives me a penny I always insist on his taking a pencil. I keep halfpenny ones in order to accommodate every person who does me the favour to purchase, (Laughter.) A constable from the Mendicity Society said the prisoner had got her living in the streets for years by begging under the pretence of selling combs and pencils. Prisoner (excitedly)—l don't call selling articles in the streets begging. Mr. Henry—She don't appear to be quite right in her mind. Prisoner—l've got a plate in my head, its true ; but that's nothing. I'm as sensible as any person—just try me. (Laughter.) le. Henry—l think I had better send you to the work house, where you say your husband is. Prisoner—Will you ? then I don't want to go. (Laugh ter.) Why should I ? I can get my own living out of it. If you send me, they won't receive me, as its not my pariah, and as I see what you intend to do, I don't intend to tell you which is. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—l shall send and see whether it is true that your husband is where you say before I decide what I shall do with you. Prisoner—You're quite welcome to do that ; but I demand my box of stock to be returned to me. If I have to return to my trade I can't get on without something to sell. Mr. Henry ordered the box to be given to the prisoner, who was then remanded to enable inquiries to be made. MARLBOROUGH .STREET. BURGLARY.—Edward Williams, 19, James-street, New Hatcham, bootmaker, and Thomas Murphy, 30, Rose street, Long Acre, cellarman, both young men, were charged before Mr. Knox with burglariously breaking and enter iug the premiees No. 11, King-street, St. Ann 5, and steal ;ng a quantity of shirts, stays, braces, handkerchiefs, &c., the property of Mr. Wm. Loaden and others, hosiers, &c. Three large bundles of the stolen property were produced. Sergeant Cole, 22 C, said —About half-past eight last night I was standing in Greek-street with Webb, 112 C, when I saw the prisoners and two others standing at the end of Haye's-court. Suspecting all was not right, I stood back and watched them for half an hour, and just as the clock struck nine I saw Williams go down on his knees with the others not in custody and push open the strong door of No. 11, King -street. The other men not in custody left, leaving the prisoners behind, and then returned with something like a "jemmy," broke the staple, and openei the door. After they had opened the door, it being then nearly ten, the prisoners entered the shop and remained in some time, leaving the other four outside. We then stepped from our hiding place, and the prisoners came out of the shop, and they all wont away. About eleven o'clock the prisoners and the other four returned to the shop, and ono of the prisoners pushed open the door, went down on his knees, and then went in, brought out a bundle (produced), and then all went away, taking the bundle with them. I then seized Williams, and Webb took the other man, Murphy, On seizing Williams ho said he had "done nothing" but I told him I must take him back, he having dropped the bund:e. On going back to the shop I found one large bundle tied up ready for removal, and another not tied up, On taking Williams he said " Well, I may as well be nicked' for a good one as a bad one." Binstead Webb, 112 C, said—On taking Murphy into custody he said " I've done nothing. You have got me wrong this time." We then took the prisoners and on the way to the station Williams said that a man, a stranger paid him well to do it, and that as he had been out of work some time he thought he would do it. Mr. W. Kelly, an auctioneer, 4, Henry-street, gave some evidence as to the ownership of the goods, stating that he was the owner, and had taken the premises of Mr. John Leach who formerly had the premises. He was the bona fide tenant of the premises entered. After some discussion, in the course of which Mr. Loaden, the agent for the trustees of the property, said that Mr. Kelly was not the accepted tenant, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners for a few days, stating that then the question of ownership could be cleared up. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. WEDNESDAY. The second day's racing has afforded no very specially in teresting events to chronicle. The defeat of The:Ranger in the Triennial Produce Stakes by Tornado and Turcos must be accounted for by supposing that he had not recovered his Leger break down. He certainly could not answer when called upon. The Handicap for Two-yr-olds was won by Moulsey, a colt of Lord Bateman's, defeating the favourite, Annington, who finished a bad fourth ; the Doncaster run ning of the latter in the Nursery having been considered good enough to elevate him to that post. Liston defeated Paddy O'Rourke in the match, and the 10 sovs Sweepstakes, for which 10 came to the post, resulted, after a keen struggle, in a dead heat between Antoinette and the Lady Constance filly, the favourite, Galileo, lying well up. The Ranger managed to retrieve some of his laurels in the St. Leger Stakes, winning after a good race with Early Purl, though, as the latter made such a sorry figure in the Triennial, the performance cannot count for much. Linda lost her laurels in the Granby, Mr. Longfield's Union Jack running her to a standstill, and winning with ease by three or four lengths. The deciding heat for the 10 soya Sweep stakes was won by Antoinette. The weather still continues magnificent, and the course is in excellent order. Fifty Pounds for 3-y r-olds and upwards.

Rising the hill, Tornado ran past The Ranger, and half-way up she headed the favourite, and won very cleverly by a length and a half, a like distance separating the second and third; a bad fourth.

A DESERTED WIFE.—Mrs. Lowman, a very respectable woman, applied to Mr. Partridge for a protection order. She was asked if she had brought her marriage certificate with her, and replied in the negative, on which Mr. Part ridge said in all applications of this nature the woman who applied for orders of protection under the Matrimonial Causes Act, should always produce their certificates of marriage, which could be always obtained at an expense of 2s. 7d. He would hear'what the applicant had to say. Mrs. Lawson, on being sworn, said--I am the wife of George Courtenay Lowson, and live at No. 7, York-terrace, Commercial-road, Rateliff. I was married to my husband at Aldermanbury Church, in the City of London, on the 20th of May, 1848. lie left me either on the 20th or 23d of December, 1848, to go to Australia. Ho went there with the idea of sending for me. He did not do so until January, 1853, when he sent me a letter, inviting me to come out to him. At the same time he paid me £l5O to pay the expenses of my voyage. I went out to him the following day, and arrived in October fit Port Adelaide, and found my husband living with another woman. Here Mrs. Lowson sobbed loudly and appeared much affected at the recollection of the painful discovery. Mr. Partridge condoled with her, and told her to take her own time. She dried her tears and re sumed. I had half an hour's interview with my husband, and lie made proposals to which I would not consent. I refused to share his affections with another woman. I re mained in Port Adelaide three weeks only, and then re turned to England. Before I left I had asked him to pro vide a home for me and my child, which he refused to do. Mr. Partridge—How did you find means to return to England with your child ? Mrs. Lowson (crying)- o h, sir, I was well provided with clothes and other things, and had to sell everything in Adelaide to provide a passage for myself and child. I have lived with mother and sister ever since my return to Eng land. I assist my sister in her business. Mr. Farttidge—l shall grant a protection order in this case, Have you heard from your husband since you saw him in Adelaide ? Mrs. Lowson—l have not, sir. He has never written to me or sent me a farthing. INI ish to know if the order will protect my goods if I go into business. Mr. Partridge—Certainly it will. You must take care to regist r the protecting order in the County Court. Mrs. Lowson thanked the magistrate. The order was at once made out by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk. The accounts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the year ended July last, show that the net earnings of the line (including the balance brought from last half-year) amount to £7,9M 15s. 3d., which the directors recommend should be carried to the credit of the current half-year.

On Tuesday, at the Hull Police-court, before the stipen diary magistrate, Maria Cooke, the lady who is charged with being concerned in the robbery of the South Cave mail-bag and a letter containing checks to the amount of £7OO, was again brought up. Mr. F. F. Ayre appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. F. Summers for the prisoner. The following evidence was called : Douglas Mackintosh, a merchant's clerk, stated that he remembered being in Whitefriargate, Hull, on Friday morn ing last, about a quarter past 10 o'clock. The prisoner came up and said to him, "Are you in a hurry ?" He replied "No." She said, " Will you get a check cashed for me ?" He said, "I don't suppose they will pay me." She said, " Yes they will." He said, " I shall have to sign my name." She said, "Oh no, you won't." While she was speaking she produced an envelope with a:check in, out of a bag, and gave it to witness. He said he would take it, and he asked her where the bank was. She said, " The Yorkshire Bank ing Company, corner of Parliament-street." Witness went to the bank with the check, which was in the envelope. It was for £2B, and drawn by Thos Jackson, of North Shields, upon the National Provincial }Link of England at Shields. He presented the check to the bank clerk, who refused to cash it. He then left the bank and went back to the pri soner, and told her they would not cash the check, and ho handed both the envelope and check back to her. He then lett, and immediately afterwards pointed her out to two bank clerks who had followed him. One of these clerks went up to her and asked her if she had just sent a check to the bank. She replied in the affirmative. He asked to see the check, when she handed him what appeared to be the same envelope and check. He asked her to step back to the bank, and she went, witness accompanying them, In the bank they asked where she had got the check from, and she said a gentleman had given it to her in a railway carriage, as she was coming from Hessle the night before by the last train, and in a second-class carriage. She was asked if there were many people in the carriage, and she replied thatit was full, and that the gentleman, who was sitting opposite to her, threw it across to her. She had not seen him before. The lady was then taken into custody by a detective who was present in the bank at the time. William Boyes, of Beverley, bankers' clerk in the York shire Banking Company at Hull, said he remembered Fri• day last, the 25th inst., when the last witness brought a check to the bank to be cashed, but it was not cashed, and it was returned to Mackintosh, and the latter left the bank followed by witness and another bank clerk. The prisoner was pointed out to them as the person who had sent the check to the bank. Witness asked her if she had sent a boy to the Yorkshire Banking Company with a check on the National Provincial Banking Company. She said " Yes, one of Mr. Popple well's" (the person to whom the check was payable). Witness asked her to show him the check. She then produced an envelope in which was a check on the Ycrk City and County Bank at Goole. Witness told her that this was not the check he wanted, and he asked her it she had another. She then produced another envelope with the check on the National Provincial Bank. Witness told her there was some mistaao about the check she had pre sented to the bank, and would she return there ? She said she hoped that there was nothing wrong about it, but she would go. When in the bank, the manager asked her the questions deposed to by the last witness. She said when in the train the gentleman said to her, "There, young woman, there's some checks for you ; get some money for them if you like." She was asked if she had not given something for the checks. She said " No." She was asked what was his appearance. She sa dhe was tall but she would not know him again. She was then given into custody. Elizabeth Jane Taylor, wife of Mr. Taylor, of Spring arch, Spring-street, was next examined. She knew the pri soner, and she came from Ferriby station with her on Thurs day evening, in the last train. They rode in a third-class carriage, and witness sat opposite prisoner, There were eight women (including the prisoner) and two men in the compartment. During the journey she never saw anything given to the prisoner, and if there had been she must have seen it. Witness went to the gaol on Saturday last, and identified the prisoner from amongst several other women. Mary Eleanor Ward said she knew the prisoner. She was with her between 3 and 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon last, and went with her to the Hull Railway Station. She said she was going to Hessle, and intended to walk back at night. Witness advised her to return by the last train, and then left her. John Wilson, of South Cave, clbrk in the branch bank of the Yorkshire Banking Company at that place, was next called. On Thursday last ho made up a letter containing seven checks, addressed to the Yorkshire Banking Com pany at Beverley. The two checks found upon the pri soner when taken into custody were two of the checks he placed in the letter, The letter was sealed and posted be tween a quarter and half-past 5 o'clock. He knew the pri soner, having seen her at South Cave. Henry Michael Daly, 54, Saville-street, Hull, said he was clerk in the General Post-office, London, and acting postmaster of Hull. (Witness was here shown the envelope in v. hich the checks were placed before being posted at South Cave.) This envelope, he said, was again posted in Hull on Friday morning, between 9 15 and 10 15. There was a South Cave postmark on it for the 24th inst. It did not bear the Brough postmark, which it ought to have done in its transit from Cave to Beverley. (This evidence was to show that the letter containing the 7 checks was stolen at South Cave and re-posted at Hull, for Beverley, minus the two checks found in possession of the prisoner.) The evidence of how the robbery was effected, and the receipt of the 5 checks at the Beverley Yorkshire Banking Company, was postponed until next Tuesday. Bail was applied for, but refused, the magistrate remark ing that there was too much mystery about the case. ROUGH WEATHER IN THE NORTH SEA, LOSS OF A BRIG AND ALL HANDS. SHIELDS, Tuesday.—The vessels recently in our port from the Baltic report that they have encountered fearfully rough weather in the North Sea. Not only gales of wind, but storms of thunder and lightning, and fears are enter tained for the safety of laden collier vessels which were out in the storms. Some particulars have reached this port to day of the total loss of the collier brig Capt. Cook, of North Shields, with all hands. This vessel left the Tyne in the early part of the month for Hamburg, and she has foun dered in one of the gales off the coast of North Europe. The body of her master, Mr. Fisher, and the bodies of sone of the crew, have washed up on the Danish coast. The master had his eldest son on board the vessel with him, and he is lost of course, His widow and another son are lying dangerously ill at home, and the widow is not expected to recover. While the weather has been so rough and stormy out at sea it has been tolerably tranquil upon our coast. Torrents of rain must biz,ve fallen in the west of Northum berland on the Sunday, ae the Tyne is very much flooded, and some damage has been done by the river rising so ra pidly, and by the strong ebb tides. SCARBOROUGH, Tuesday.—At an early hour yesterday morning, during a heavy gale from the SSW, the schooner Maria, of Yarmouth, was driven ashore on the south point of Cloughton Dyke, a few miles north of Scarborough. The vessel was bound from Newcastle to Caen, in France, with a cargo of cement and firebricks, and while working up the coast, almost against the wind, the master (Henry Sewell) unfortunately kept too near the land, and the schooner, missing stays, was driven upon the rocky beach. The mas ter and crew, considering themselves in imminent danger, availed themselves of a lull, during which they gained the shore in their small boat. They were speedily obliged to betake themselves for shelter to the cliff above them, against which the sea beats up at high water, Here they remained from a little after midnight until about 8 o'clock in the most deplotable condition. The situation of the master wee even still worse. After reaching the cliff he endeavoured to return to the vessel. His crew positively refused to accom pany him, and while proceeding alone in his foolish as tempt he was carried in his boat by the wind a nd 51 1 : e f verai reef of rocks, where he was obliged to remain _f° , _ r eir p 08 hours, exposed to all the severity of the storm. the crew of Lions were dent ied by a passing fishing smackr,e , who were which, with much difficulty, rescued the 0 The has in a benumbed and exhausted c o ndition. been got off the rocks, but she is greatly in) ilt; used . another CORPORATIoNs 1 CONSOLATION FOR ALL CIVIC —Between the chest and hips we bayewaithcotlitlsdniffeel bone which supports the former, and rests upon but of a that we shall speak of presently.

SlR,—Because last summer was somewhat warmer prevalent that th e temperature of the than its three predecessors, w hi ch were cold, an im pression i s s t closed exceeded the average of former years. This was by means the Case, a deficiency instead of an increase being the fact. I beg to furnish the result from ob servat i ons taken here, compared with the mean temperatu re o f 18 years—from 1846 to 1863 inclusively. I may premise that in estimating a fair value of monthly mean temperature the range of period should not be less than 12 or 15 years; at Greenwich the com e putations are made on much longer time. Mean of 18 Years. 1863. Above. Below. May June July August September 55 deg, .. 52 deg. 3 deg. It will be seen that the only month which had a surplus was August, and this was a very wet month. Rain fell on 20 days; total depth 3.69 inches ; which quantity is almost double the ave rage. Four out of the five months were, therefore, characterised by deficiency of temperature. The above realises my anticipation. My predic tions in May last, and reiterated June 27, were accompanied by the reasons which induced me to expect a falling off of mean temperature this sum mer. The data comprising the theory on which my calculations were based aipplied to mean temperature exclusively. Confident that this will be useful for future com parison and reference, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS L. PLANT, Member of the British Meteorological Society. Birmingham, Sept. 30. * At Old Trafford, Manchester, the deficiency is July was 1.7, from observations made by 4 Mr, Vernon in that city extending over 15 years. Two Children Claiming One Mother. A singularly romantic case of two children claiming one mother has just come before the Imperial Court of Agen. In October, 1833, a widow named Francois° Beausoliel Dufour, gave birth to a female child, her husband having died on the 6th of February in the same year. This child she put in the turning-box of the Foundling Hospital of Marmande, having reasons which are net explained for concealing the birth. By the French law the legitimacy of a child born within 300 days of the husband's death cannot be disputed. In the present instance the birth took place considerably within that period; but it is conjectured that the mother feared the opinion of the neighbours might not be in ac cordance with legal presumption. However this may be she presented herself at the Foundling Hospital a few days after the infant had been deposited there, satisfied the direc tors that she had means to support the child, and told them that she intended to take it out very soon. In order to establish the identity of her infant she mentioned that among its linen there was a piece of printed muslin of a re markable pattern, and this muslin the lady superior of the hospital at once admitted having noticed. She succeeded (contrary, apparently, to the rules of foundling hospitals) in inducing the directors to tell her where the child was. They said it was with a wet-nurse, named Gaillard, in a village which they mentioned. To this village Madame Beausoliel Treuve Dufour) replired,inquired for Madame Gaillard, overwhelmed the infant which she found in her cottage with maternal caresses, and delighted the whole household by the assurance that she would augment the meagre pittance allowed by Government for bringing up a chance child. These promises were more than kept. Her visits to little Denize Achet—that was the name officially given in the hospital to the child, who was registered, as the custom is in such establishments, " born of unknown parents"—were frequent, and every time she brought with her little comforts and delicacies for the child, and presents for the nurse. At the end of lour years she reimbursed the hospital the expenses it had incurred, and took the child to her own home, where she so managed that it was received without question as a sister by the four children who were born before her husband's death. Denize, brought up with unvarying affection, and well educated for a country girl of modest pretensions, was at the age of 25 respectably mar ried to a M. Caussade, and upon that occasion the register of births at the Foundling Hospital of Marmande was, pur suant to a judicial decree, corrected in her favour, and in stead of being described as " born of unknown parents," she was stated to be the legitimate child of Monsieur and Madame Dufour. Thus we find the heroine of this little story married and settled and happy in the affections of a respectable family of which she is a legal as well as an accepted and cherished member. But five years after her marriage, and in 1862, a domestic servant at Agen, named Denize Achet, brings an action against M. and Madame Caussade and widow Dufour, alleging that she, the plaintiff, is really the child deposited by Madame Dufour in the turning-box of Marmande, and enveloped in the remarkable printed muslin; that the defendant, Madame Caussade, was never baptised or registered by the name of Denize Achet, and that she was an unknown child thrown into the box about the same time, and registered in the books of the hospital by the name of Isabelle Tolland. Extraordinary as this claim appears, it was most conclusively made out by evidence. The explanation is that in the abovementioned village there were two women named Madame Gaillard, who had simultaneously received a child to nurse from the Foundling Hospital. Madame Dufour went to the wrong one. The consequence is that the register is again corrected, and the true Denize Achet, the maid servant of Agent ie declared to be the legitimate child of M. and Madame Da four, while poor Madame Caussad e , th e d ar li ng and Pr ia the family for the last 30 years, i s j u di c i a lly astertaii:od to n _ be the " child of nobody."

The picking having been brought to a conclusion on Wednesday, the hoppers were paid off, and at night the deceased and a number of others went to a public-house at Leeds, where they remained drinking for several hours, returning to their huts shortly after twelve o'clock, the whole of them the more or less intoxi cated ; in fact, some of them dropped down on the road, and remained there all night. The deceased, Harriet Beaney, was quite drunk, and her two eldest sons were also the worse for liquor. About 4 o'clock in the morning the Beaneys were awoke by finding that their but was on fire, and the two deceased lost their lives.
