AND COMXERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. d In the general discount market the inquiry is escribed as tolerably active, at previous quotations. 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 pros. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have generdlly 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 No t tinghara h ave s h own cons i dera bl e act i vi ty, andin the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffiel i d , and Wolv er h amp t oa t h ere has been considerable activity in most departments. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c. Rather firm. At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Bank of Australasia, Mr. H. C. E. 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 eztered into have not resulted in any material variation, Console being 93 f for transfer, and 931 for the account.

'/E-TAt -7 C rur t Ci rtu b i , ;,„r 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." The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of Wales went out to the hills on Wednesday, and was exceedingly successful, having killed no fewer than 95 brace. The Ptincess of Wales frequently promenades and drives in the neighbourhood of Abergeldie. The weather for the past few days has been somewhat rough, but on the whole their royal highnesses are enjoying their re treat very much. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia. 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. The memory of the weeks we spent in Pomerania will always be cherished by us; and I commission you to make known our sentiments in this respect to the pro vince. " FREDERIC WILLIAM, Crown Prince. " Governor of Pomerania. " On board his Majesty's yacht Grille„ Aug. .5," ON TILE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL at the Windsor Station on Monday last from Osborne, her Majesty asked the cause of the absence of the inhabitants from the plat form she had been in the habit of seeing. On being told that the officials considered they were consulting the wishes of her Majesty by shutting out the public, the queen re plied, "Not now, not now."_ WE believe that her Majesty's private band will resume their duties at Windsor Castle at Christmas next. THE PRINCE OF WALES is about to identify him self with archoology by accepting the Fellowship of the Society of Antiquaries of London. PRINCE ARTHUR is pursuing his studies at Bag shot. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur visited tho Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, on Saturday, accom panied by Major Elphinstone, and took lessons in the art of swimming from Sergeant Hamlin at the pond attached to the institution. His royal highness then returned to his residence at Greenwich. THE young Queen of Portugal, it is expected, will be confined in September. THE QUEEN OF PRUSSIA has contributed 500 florins towards the fund for the monument to Prince Albert to be erected at Coburg. THE ARCHDUKE MAximiLlAN.—The Archduke, who is brother of the Emperor of Austria, was born on the 6th of July, 1832, and married in July, 1857, the Arch duchess Charlotte, daughter of the King of the Belgians The Prince is Vice-Admiral and Commander-in -Chief o; the Austrian fleet, and up to 1859 was Governor-General of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. He is a man of liberal mind, and enjoys a high reputation in Europe. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond are enter taining a select party at Gordon Castle, N. 8., for the grouse shooting. Prince and Princess Edward of cane Weimar arrived at Gordon Castle early in the past week, and on Tuesday last several other guests arrived at the castle. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland come to town to-day, from Sion House, Isleworth, to remain a few days at Northumberland House, and then depart for Alnwick Castle. The Duke of Rutland left Cowes, Isle of Wight, on Thursday last in his yacht for the western ports. The Duchess Dowager of Sutherland is staying at Chis wick for the present, the noble duchess having post poned her departure for the Continent owing to slight in disposition. The Earl and Countess Fitzwilliam will receive a selecty party at Wentworth House during the race meet ing this week at York. _ _ Earl de Grey and Ripon, the Secretary for War, visited on Friday the fortifications that are being erected around Plymouth. Lord Crewe left town on _Friday for Crewe Hall, Cheshire, for the season. Tne marriage of Lady Violet Graham, second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, with Mr. Greville, son of Colonel and Lady Rosa Greville, will, we understand, not take place until November. The wedding is to be solemnised in London. THERE is some idea of raising M. de Girardin to the dignity of Senator. Mr. GERALD MASSEY 18, it is said, going to resume his course of lectures. Among other subjects, "The Man Shakapere," is timely and appropriate. Mr. PHELPS, we understand, is about to enter on the management of Drury-lane Theatre. " THE KINGS OF SHAKESPERE," by Vincent Knauer, "a contribution to jurisprudence," is the title of a small work recently published at Vienna. THE 25th " Anti-Renan" pamphlet appeared at Dentu's last week. _ _ _ THE GHOST ILLUSION is being exhibited at three of the largest theatres in Berlin with very great success. SIR LASCELLES WRAXALL is said to be engaged in writing, partly from his family papers, a Life of Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark. A PENSION of £7O a year has just been given to Mr. Joshua Alder for literary services—these literary services, however, not being specified. THE SUCCESS of Miss Braddon's dramatized novel, it seems, has been powerless to save the late management of the St. James's Theatre, which is again advertised as to be let. M. TRIERS is to prepare a brochure on " Austria and its Reforms." The ROYAL LIBRARY at Copenhagen, founded by Christianlll., numberb at this moment no less than 400,000 volumes. NEXT YEAR WILL BE SHAKSPERE'S YEAR, the Atheneum well remarks on Saturday: our contem porary adding in reference to the selection of Stratford-on- Avon as the Archeological Society's Rendezvous, that the Rev. M. Ilartshoine has undertaken to get up the story of Kenilworth Castle, and Prof. Willis that of Coventry Cathedral. S tra tf or d w ill, o f course , be o ne of the ma in excursions, and the recent repairs of the parish church, the tomb of Snakspeare, will come under the notice of a very critical and learned audience.

CLERICAL VIVISECTION. —A fri g htful case! th us described by the Saturday Review :—s orne years ago an eloquent divine was selected for the office of Colonial Bishop, and was actually sent out to the Antipodes, to get some 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 hit c h 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 victi m was com polled to drop his dignified habiliments. First, he 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 rochet and lawn sleeves were offered for sale at an alarming sacrifice. It was a regular case of a parson subjected to vivisection in its severest shape. The Bishop designate was unbishoped by slow agonies and protracted torments far worse than any inflicted in the notorious vete nary schools of Lyons and Alfort. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Samrday were fairly sup plied with new wheat, for the most part of fine quality. The demand ruled heavy, and prices declined quite ls, in some instances 2s, par 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 fer 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 no 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.

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 (Mr. 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 aasistanee, and the prisoner was prevented doing any further injury. The razor was found in the bed covered with blood. There was no doubt that the prosecutor's throat had been seriously cut and wounded, and the only question was 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 Begint 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 himself 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 beforo 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 RUFFIANIS.II.—WiIIiam Jackson, of 5, COMM street, Russell-square, marine store dealer, and John Hamilton, of 15, Dean-street, Spitalfields, were charged before Mr. Tyr whitt 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, wh en 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 aut 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 anything. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Jackson 20s. or 14 days, and Hamil ton 40s. or two months for the assault on Mr. Parkhurst, and 10s. or 14 days for assaulting the sergeant. THE PESTS ov THE Pinu.i.—A well dressed German, named Wilhelm Huntebrunk, who described 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. Alberf, 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. ;EI)S. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average supply of foreign stock 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 Blbs. 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 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,700 shorthorns, &c, ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 140 oxen and heifers. e were again fairly supplied with sheep, mostly in good condition. Nearly all breeds sold steadily, at Thursday's improvement in value. Tha general top figure for Downs was 58 ; but a few pens realised 55 2d per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was limited—sold briskly, at 8d per 81bs above the rates current on Monday last. Prices ranged from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Ms. Calves were 21 per 81bs dearer, with a good demand. Top price 4s 8d per B!bs. In pigs, very little was doing, at late rates.

Compared with our last report, no change hss taken place in the value of any kind of hops, hnt the market has exhi bited considerable quietude. The prospects at the planta tions hive not varied. In several districts a good crop is looked forward to, but in some parts there will certainly be a limited growth. A parcel of new hops has been on offer, and has been disposed of at £l2 per cwt. Last week's import was 10 bales from Hamburg, and 47 bales from Boulogne. WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool held last week went oft with a fair amount of animation. Home buyers purchased freely, but the amount of business transacted for export, was very moderate. American buyers appear to be scarcely in the market, and the demand on French and Belgian account is far from extensive. The value, however, both of Cape and Australian produce is well supported. Th. sales will close on Friday next, the 21 s t i nst. I n th e pri vate contract market gposla wool , 7 , orniza;wls a flir pale, THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULTOI:IAGIu, ...John William Fits 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. 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 polica-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 tipsy when the girl called upon him. - The prisoner, in defence, said he had no recollection of 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 hard labour. SHIPPING—This Day.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1. 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. Petersburg, the evident object of which is to prove to the Russian public that this more favourable state of 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. But of course foreign susceptibilities must be spared, and so this communique is perfectly colon:- less, as will be seen from the following text :—" In reading the foreign journals one is every day struck by one regret able fact. Whether it is a desire to be better informed than they really are, or whether it is real embarrassment, in creased by the necessity of judging a situation the different shades of which they do net perceive, it is a fact that they daily work upon the public mind by comments which help I neither to enlighten nor tranquillise it. If the Russian Government maintains in its replies a firm and dignified 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 ploclaini 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, Euppported 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 gecgraphical 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 Ga;ctte .harodowa 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, J enkowski, Rucki, Wiezbicki, Krysinski, and Laski ; the whole of these corps are under the general command of Lelewel, and are 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 men to force the centre of the Russian force under Chruschtochsw, and drive them towards an ambuscade, but the insurgents fell into their own trap, and fowlt the positions they intended to take up alrs2ady 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 Chimelewaki, 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. KILISCIi, 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 men. 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 Taczanowski the 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 un••English Fancies. (From the Army and Nary 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 civil 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 tion, 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 ccuiplete possession of the Mississippi by the Fes:Jerald, 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 dominaney in the State of Mississippi itself; their approach to the frontiers of Georgia and Alabama; their g rip of the sea board tightening gradually ; their strongholds es tablished along the coast of North 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, and 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 s uffer 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 d —and politicians, and clergy—very numerous. and very valiant must they be too. The c ountry is so war, Iris and vast that it cannot be conquered or held. he Nort h is not in earnest, or is tired of th e strike . any longer —in cor rupt, or, cowardly, and only figh t s with i German hands, which won't place which has certainly to undo the knot fact, something is to take not yet taken place, and which. is of facts accomplished which 18 j ust now press i ng under the Southern ear. Let us continue —let us stick now to our hard facts. In July, 1861, atter the b a t t l e of Bull Run, the boundary of the Southern Confederacy, as drawn by their bayonets in a c t ua l li ne, ran t h roug h t h e lino of the Potomac, the centre of Kentucky, and the centre of Missouri. The Confederates held t h e 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 posseession of every seaport south of Baltimore; they had a blockade of the Potomac. Fort Pickets was the solitary standpost for the Federal flag in Southern seas. The lino 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 LIEE.—A seduloui female correspondent who crosses her letters, says a Saturday Reviewer, a man who bores you with raptures about his angel, stupid parties, and wet pic-uics, are tribu lations which may be comparatively minor, but yet fill a grievous space in the average life of man. The writer ob serving in another part of the same whimsical argument, that a permanently soured disposition may infallibly be en gendered by the continuous action of linen invariably over starched, shirt-buttons always neglected, and trains con stantly missed.

The York Meeting commences t — o -morrow, but it w ill not throw mu c h li ght on the S. Leger, as none of the favourites are expected to enter an appearance. Lord Clifdea, after having been knocked about in the betting, has now returned to his old price. I believe it is on 1 matter of health fo r hi m to place this rich stake to his a owner's credit. Th e Y or k shire Oaks, in the absence noble Queen Bertha, will be secu re d b y Marigold. Tne of Con vivial Stakes will be betwe en D ur h am and King Geo now that Paris has been withd rawn. The Black Drugcak Stakes of 1,000 soya. each will be secured by Mr. Merr 's nomination. The Three-ye ar - o ld Bi ennial 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.. once of the public will be given to The Ranger, whose form, from the way La roucques ran at Goodwood, is very nearly the best of the year, and should Mr. Savile run for it, he will, in 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 sous each will hardly furnish a race, Borealis seeming to hold her opponents quite safe; and in the Swoeptakes that stands next in suc cession to it, I fancy Bonny Breastknot may 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. Oa Wednesday the sport will commence with the two-yr-old Biennial, which is rich enough to insures 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 so 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, Oat llb Oldminster, 5 yrs, Sat 91b Doyle. Carisbrook, 4 yrs, Bst W. Boyce, Fantail, 3 yrs, G 21b st • Magnum Bonum, 4 yrs, 7st 131 b Covey. Bellinen, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b The Monk, 6 yrs, 6st 13ib • Piccador, 4 yrs, bet 101 b Golden Pledge, 3 yrs, Gst Carroll. Clarior, 3 yrs, Get 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 mill be near winning, but I do net think he will beat Lord Zetland's horse. Oldminster and Magnum Bonum have both penalties of 141b5., which puts out any chance they might have had. The Monk, if he can only stay the distance, must be very formidable, as ho has se 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. With the lenient weight of 6st 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 place PICCADOR 1 THE MONK BELLMAN The York Cup will be won by Macaroni if Mr. Naylor pall; him out. A FRESH MAN, Foreign Mail Packet List.

S v-- SEIZURE OF iEFICIENT MEASURES.—On Satur day last, nearly one hundred licensed victuallers, from the districts of Shoreditch, Hoiton, Bethnal-green, Finsbury, Moorfields, Kingsland, Hackney, St. George's in-the-East, and Stoke Newington, attended, before a full bench, at the Court House, Great Prescott-street, Good man's-fields, to answer summonses taken out against them for having deficient measares in their possession. The articles seized, weighing near ly a hundred weight, were placed before the bench in wicker hampers, each lab e l le d with the name of tho persons from whom their contents had been taken. Fines, ranging from 15s. to 50s, were in flicted upon eighty. five of the defendants, the total amount being £B7 108., half of which goes to the country, the in spector receiving the other moiety. In o ne case it was stated that the measures seized were not employed for sere. ing the customers, but were simply used for r placing under the tap; while in a another the seizure was of "a pint and a half pot," which, though not deficient, is, by law, a pro. hibited measure. ri TnE ARCHIMANDRITE NILOS."--Thls most reverend ecclesiastic of the Greek Church was to Dave the Coburg Hotel, Charles -street, Grosvenor-square, on Saturday last, for Paris, eve route for Constantinople. In the morning of Friday the Archimandrite paid a farewell visit to the Lord Bishop of London, at Fulham Palace; in the afternoon of the same day, Miss Burdett Coutts 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 Couja, 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. WRECK OF A PASSENGER STEAMER OFF TUE ISLE OF IV IGEIT.—The steamer her Majesty, be• longing to the Isle of Wight and Port of Portsmouth Steam Packet Company is withdrawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays from her regular passages to make excursions round the island. On Saturday, about half-past 11 o'clock, she left Portsmouth, with a tolerably numerous company on board. All went on well until she arrived nearly off Benbridge Point, at the back of the island, when it is supposed, in consequence of hugging the shore, she struck upon a sunken rock, and knocked a hole in her bottom. The greatest alarm was manifested amongst the passengers, but as soon as the captain could get the vessel off the rock, he drove her nearer to the shore, and by means of boats the whole of the passengers were put ashore. Several pilot boats were fortunately near at the time, and rendered very great assist ance. They were afterwards put on board ether vessels, and conveyed to Ryde and Portsmouth. The steamer filled and sunk. The captain, Mr. Tate, has been mate of the vessel for many years, and has always been remarkable ler his steadiness and strict attention to his duties. Little more than a month ago he was appointed as the successor of Csptain Crask, having received his Admiralty certificate as master. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LADY GILBERT KENNEDY. —On Monday last, as Lord and Lady Gilbert Ken nedy were riding in the vicinity of the village of Eversley, her ladyship's horse took flight at a cart laden high with peas. After rearing violently, the animal backed into a ditch, throwing her ladyship, and causing some severe in juries to the head, which rendered her insensible, in whioh state she was conveyed home. We hear that her ladyship, who is much beloved in the neighbourhood, is progrtsting favourably.
