This will, it is understood, depend upon le successful management of the various contracts band : St Michael's House, Cornhill, London, E.C., Sept. 13, 1864. It is with deep regret that we find ourselves compelled to 'spend payment through the unexpected failure of several ercantile firms. We are, however, sanguine that if indul rnco be extended to us by our creditors we shall ultimately 3 enabled to discharge our liabilities in full: A statement affairs is in course of preparation by Messrs Harding, allein, and Co., and a meeting of creditors will bo con, oiled as early as possible.—Wo are, your obedient servant, CIIOSX.BY and Co.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day, SHERIFFS' COURT, (Before F. Gibbons, Esq.) BOW-STREET. A STRANGE STORY,--. Mary Clarke, a fashionably-dressed woman, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing three half-crowns from Mr A. F. Belt. SINGULAR ACTION AGAINST HARRY BRUNTON, THE YIGHTING MAN, FOR BREAKING DOWN A SIGNBOARD IN FLEET STREET-CRANE V. BRUNTON. The prosecutor said he rekided at 1, St John's•street, Westminster, and on the evening of the 6th he was return ing from a party when he met the prisoner in Waterloo place. She gave him a sort of friendly blow, and said, " I know you somewhere," He denied all know ledge of her, and she walked by his side from the place where she first spoke to him until he arrived at the A.thengeam Club, where he found he had been robbed of three half-crowns. He accused the woman of having stolen the money, but she denied it, and said she was a respectable married woman. While she was walking with him, a man and woman passed close to them, and he suspected she passed the money to them, as it had not been re covered, and he was catain she did not drop it while she was being taken to the station house. When he first gave the woman into custody, he said he had been robbed of throe half-sovereigns, but that was a mistake. Mr Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, said the pri soner was a respectable married woman, and that there must be some mistake in the matter. Her husband he believed was a very respectable person, and he was quite unacquainted with the matter until he learned that his wife was in custody on the charge. He should like to ask the prosecutor a few questions. The prosecutor, in reply, said he was quite certain he had the money in his pocket when the prisoner first spoke to him. He was perfectly sober. The prisoner walked on his right hand side, and the money was abstracted from his waistcoat pocket. The reason he made the mistake in saying three half sous. instead of three half-crowns was because he was very much flurried. He was certain he had the money when the prisoner first spoke to him, and immediately she walked away ho found he had been robbed. Police-constable 3CB A said he took the prisoner into cus tody. She was searched at the station, but the money was not found. This was an action to recover £3 damage to a signboard, which was alleged to have been torn down from plaintiff's premises, Mr Perry (from Mr Buchanan's) appearing for the plaintiff, who is a tradesman of Fleet-street, Mr Beard representing defendant, the ex-fighting man of Barbican. Mr Perry was proceeding to open the case when Mr Beard said that a most important witness was unavoidably absent, and he did not feet justified on proceeding. Mr Perry hoped his honour would not listen to any ap plication, because he had very good proof of the case. The witness who was absent, was no other than the defendant himsel'. Mr Beard—That is not so. Mr Perry-•—He told my client that he should go down to the races tc,-Jay, as he should enjoy himself a great deal better at amcaster than in this court. blr Beard said that he could assure the court el the ab- sence of a material witness. Mr Petry—l am at a loss to understand what the defence can be. The defendant has admitted that he pulled ckwn the signboard, and I have three witnesses to prove that it was done in a drunken spree. _ _ Mr Beard denied this, and his Honour allowed the case to stand over on defendant paying full costs. HUMPHRIES V. WATSON-THE LAW IS TO BAD MONEY- IMPORTANT CASE. This was an action to recover ss. for two counterfeit half-crowns, alleged to have been taken at the defendant's Plaintiff said that he sent a girl for a quartern of gin, and gave her half a sovereign. In the change she brought back were the two half-crowns now produced. The girl said the two half.crowns were the same that she rece'ved from th 3 defendant's barmaid. By his Honour—l had no more money but the change I received from the barmaid, In reply to Mr Vaughan, Mr Lewis said the prisoner would reserve her defence. Ile hoped she would be admitted to bail. Mr Vaughan said he did not feel justified in taking bail. The prisoner then began to cry, and asked the magistrate to deal summarily with the case. Mr Vaughan said he could not do that, because she denied the charge. The barmaid said that the change was all very carefully examined. The change was not returned till the next day. Mr Watson was a most respectable man, who had been a long time in business, and the girl could not swear that she received the money. _ _ . His Honour—But she says that she had no other money. Do you mean to insinuate that the plaintiff has come here to deliberately tell a falsehood r Defendant's witness—Oh 1 no. His Honour—There is no class of tradesmen so likely to have bad money pissed to them as licensed victuallers. Defendant's witness—All the silver received in the day in which the change was given came from the London and Westminster Bank, and was very carefully looked over. His Honour—That might be so, but you are not in a position to deny that which the plaintiff has sworn, and you must pay this claim. Verdict for plaintiff, Prisoner—Ten I plead guilty. Mr Vaughan—What do you say to that, Mr Lewis. Mr Lewis—l was instructed she was a respectable mar ried woman, and after what she has stated I think I had better say nothing, Mr Vaughan—You said something about her husband being a respectable man. I should like to ask him a few questions. Clarke, the husband, then stepped into the witness-box. Mr Vaughan—Are you married to this woman ?—Yes. Where do you live ?—No. 1, Anchor-street, Church street, Shoreditch, and have done so for the last 12 months. I only occupy lodgings in the house. Wb at are you —A commission agent. DEATH ON THE TREADMlLL.—Yesterday after noon Dr. Lankester held an inquiry at the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, touching the death of George Williams, a black man, aged 57, who had been sentenced to H days imprisonment for an assault. Annetta 'Williams, who said she:was the wife of the deceased and had no home, stated, that her husband was a carpenter by trade, but that they used to get a precarious living by going about selling books which she bought in Paternoster-row. He was a run away slave, and was a very great drinker. Ho sometimes Lai palpitation of the heart, and complained of pains in the head, Henry Hymes said he was the master brushman of the yard, and was attending at the bottom of the wheel last Friday, when deceased fell off. On going to him he heard the rattles in his throat, and he died immediately. The prisoner had to go on the wheel 15 minutes each turn, and deceased was on his last turn when he fell off, at half past one. The deceased did not complain to him of being ill, and he seemed to work at the wheel as well as any other man. He had been in the prison seven days, but ho had not been put to work on the wheel until the day on which he died. 'William Smiles, M.D., surgeon to the House of Correction, said the prisoner was admitted last Friday week, when he complained of his heart, on which he was excused the wheel. He orJered that the prisoner should not be put on the wheel on account of his feeble heart. Contrary to these instructions, he was placed on the wheel on Ftiday last. Ho was of opinion that the deceased died from the effects of an eflusion of blood on the brain. Wil liam Davie, the warder of the yard, said he had only held that position a few days, his predecessor having gone out on leave on the Sunday, and he had not had time to exa mine the books and sheets containing the directions, It was his duty to examine them, and he should have done so For whom ?-1%1.

Mr Vaughan—lt is a very strange ease, however. I shall commit the prisoner to the House of Correction for three months. if he had had sufficient time. The prisoner was given over to him as a wheel man. The coroner having summed up, the jury returned as their verdict—" That the deceased died from the effusion of blood upon the brain, and expressed their opinion that the conduct of William Davie, the war der, in not examining the relieving sheet before sending the deceased to the wheel, was highly reprehensible." The coroner said he would report the result of the inquiry to the Governor of the prison, THE RAM TENNESSEE.—The Cinfederate ram Tennessee,eAptured inMobileß iy,had been some two years building at Mobile, under the immediate eye of Ad miral Buchanan. Her iron armour consists of 21-inch iron plates in bars 8 inches wide, which are crossed and bolted together so as to leave no seam. Inside this iron plating is A inches of solid oak, making about 30 inches of solid work on every part exposed to shot. Forward of, and including her forward casemates, which embraces perhaps 15 feet in length, and takes in also her pilot house, this thickness is increased to six inches of iron and 30 of wood backing. It is a noticeable fact that this extraordinary strength of iron and wood enabled her to withstand all the steel shot from our rifled pieces, our 11-inch solid shot from our ships of war, and 15-inch shell from the monitors, not one of which penetrated her ribs of iron, while nearly 50 shots altogether struck her in the engagement. The nearest approach to penetration was from a 15-inch missile from the Manhattan, which made a deep indentation in her broadsida, and by impaction stove through her two feet of oak backing, caus ing the splinters to fly promiscuously inside. Though under way when this struck her she is said to have stopped as if a magic wand had touched her. She was armed with four 6-inch Brooks rifled guee, of English make, on her broad • sides, and two fore and aft, 7 and an 8-inch of the same patteyn. These, by the completeness of their carriages, could be handled by a single gunner with the greatest ease. Her ports were closed with shutters made of iron plates similar to her external plating. These were attached at the centre of one of their sides by a pivot, on which they re volved by means of a cogwheel inside, and turned out of the way outside when her ports were opened. This was, in reality, a defective arrangement, and in tho fight proved an element of weakness to her. Two of these shutters had their system of ratchets and coge deranged during the ac tion, and could not be afterwards opened. A third (her after one) was shot away entirely—that is to say, the pivot on which it turned was shot off and the shutters fell to the deck, leaving that port open and exposed to our gunners. The precision with which our gunboats aimed can be appreciated by the fact that some ten shots struck her in the neighbour hood of this port, and it was here that Admiral Buchanan was wounded. One of our shells, striking in the edge of this casemate, splintered the woodwork badly, and the rebel Admiral was dinning a gunner about clearing this so as to use the after gun, when a shot struck the casement and ex ploded, literally tearing the gunner to atoms and wounding Admiral Buchanan seriously in the thigh. He fell with the blood and brains of the slaughtered gunner literally covering him. the Hartford had undertaken to run her down ; the Lackswanna had followed suit, as had also the Monongahela and the Ossipee, but without making the least effect upon her solid walls of iron and wood. The Hartford had poured in a broadside, but her 11-inch shells had bounded off from her side like peas. The whole fleet had rained an infernal hail of iron upon her, fore and aft, and on either hand. The Manhattan had sent the persuasion of her 15 inch shells to add to the din about her head ; but she held out until her Admiral fell, and then, seeing that nothing more remained, she ran up the white flag and surrendered. Her rudder chains were a most serious element of weakness with her, being carried along her deck, and covered only with a plate of half-in c h i ron , Th ey were, consequent l y, broken early in the engag emen t, an d h er ru dd er was su b - sequently managed by means of ropes and blocks, which had been attached prior to the action, evidently with a full ap preciation on the part of Admiral Buchanan of this defect. .She was armed with a formidable iron prow, which was intended to do some heavy ramming when other offensive devices failed her, and with this she steered for the Hartford at the beginning of the engagement. The superior sailing qualities of the Hartford, together with the eagle eye of the bluff old Admiral, enabled him to out-manceuvro the Ten nessee, and, instead of receiving her running, the Hartford poured into her a broadside. " Give her one bell, give her two bells, give her eight bells," said the impetuous Farra gut, and they blazed away accordingly. The balls flew oil like hail from her iron sides, but she was brought up stand• ing by the concussion, and afterwards grew more cir um spect in her movements, Had this formidable craft remained under the guns of Morgan until dusk, and then with her wooden consorts come out to the attack, she might have sunk and destroyed half, if not our entire fleet inside the bay, as, in the darkness and confusion which would have en , tied our own gunboats would have proved as formidable and mis chievous to each other as the rebel boats themselves.—Nets Orleans Times Correspondence, A VALUABLE DERELlCT.—lnformation has been received at Liverpool of the picking up at sea of the aban doned schooner Ostrich, of Jersey, by the captain and crew of the screw steamer M try. The Mary fell in with the de relict on her voyage to Bermuda, and put four men on board to take her into port. The Ostrich is only 99 tons register, but of considerably more value than ordinary vessels of that size. She was built expressly for the African trade, in which she has been ou a voyage from Sierra Leone for London, with a full cargo of African produce. Nothing has been heard of the crew.

At the Town Hall, Newton, on Monday, before C. H. Monro, Esq., W. J. Watts, Esq„ and C. J. Wade, Esq., William Brown, George Fowler, and John Griffin, alias Staddon, were charged with being on lands in the occupation of Mrs Mary Rendell, the property of Sir Walter Carew. Bart , in the parish of Coombeinteignhead, on Saturday night, for the purpose of taking game. The prisoners have recently been working on the Dartmouth and Mratenhamp stead Railways, and as they were brought into court they bore evident marks of their having been roughly handled, their faces being disfigured and their clothes saturated with blood. The case excited much interest, the court being densely crowded. Mr Baker appeared to prosecute; and Mr H. Michelmore defended the prisioners. Felix Harris, head keeper to Sir W, Carow, said—On Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock, hr, in com pany with others, was watching the preserves at Pennin, He was watching in the field on the left of the brake, where there is much game, when he heard footsteps ap proaching in the lane aej :fining the brake, which was some distance from the turnpike-road. Oa hearing the footsteps he and a keeper named Taylor went further on to a field gate, and whilst there heard some one call for assistance. He immediately went back, and found three of the keepers and the prisoners struggling in the road. lie first took hold of the prisoner Brown, and afterwards of Griffin, who struck him a severe blow on the head with his fist. The prisoner also kicked Worth, another keeper, and in attempting to do so a second time kicked the prisoner Fowler in the face. The struggle con inued for some time, and after much difficulty the prisoners wore handcuffed. John Worth, gamekeeper to R. Vicary, Esq„ deposed to his having seen the prisoners come over to the gate in Buckland-lane, when he made a rush at them and caught the prisoner Fowler, and asked him what right he had there. He made no reply, and a struggle ensued, and he succeeded in throwing Fowler to the ground. His legs were much bruised by the prisoner's violence. He saw the other two prisoners at the time, and Felix Harris caught hold of Griffin, and Warren caught hold of Brown. Harris in the struggle called for assistance, he being on the ground, and the prisoner Griffin on the top of him. Whilst he was endeavouring to handcuff Griffin he kicked witness most ♦iolently in the throat. Cross-examined by Mr Michelmore—He did not strike Brown with a stick, but with his fist, as ho appeared to be choking Harris. The prisoner Brown said that the witness struck him with a life preserver. By the Bench—Buckland-lane was a private road, the gate where the prisoners were caught was about 60 yards from the turnpike road. Felix John Harris gave evidence as to thl nature of the struggle. On searching Brown he found a large gate net in his right coatpccket. Ellis Warren and William Taylor, two of the watchers, gave similar evidence. Mr Michehnore, for the defence, contended that there was no proof that the prisoners wore in the road for an unlawful purpose except from the net, which did not appear to have ever been used for the taking of game or any thing els, it being quite new. He argued that suppos ing for instance the net had been put into the prisoner's pocket for the purpose of taking rabbits, the bench would have no power to convict. In the present case there had been nothing shown to the contrary. The truth was that the prisoners, as ho was instructed to say, were merely waling up the road on their way to Teignmoutb, when they were stopped and collared by the keepers, which was the sole offence against them. Ho maintained that as Mr Baker had said in his opening remarks the prisoners were there apparently for the purpose of taking game, that the bench had no legal power in the case. Mr Baker observed that it was a question of fact the bench had to decide. The Chairman remarked that the bench had paid great attention to the case, and found from the nature of the evi dence that there was nothing to show that the sentence should in any way be mitigated. The prisoners would be imprisoned for three months, with hard labour, and were ordered at the expiration of that term to find sureties to be of good behaviour for six months.— Western Morning News How TO DESTROY INSECTS.—The following remedy for the plague of insects was invented by the late Rev. W. Kirby :—A hand glass, commonly used by gardeners (a square one is the best) is the instrument to be used. This has to be tightly covered at the bottom with thick white paper, varnished to resist the wet. A circular hole, 6% inches in diameter, is then cut in the centre of the paper, and the glass is placed on three bricks over a plate filled with beer, sugar, and a little rum, a moderate distance from the infested spot. The effect is magical ; in a few hours the glass is crammed with wasps, hornets, and flies (bees will seldom enter), which, having tasted the sweets, fly upwards to the light. A common sulphur match, made by dipping brown paper into melted brimstone, will destroy thousands. The constant hum of insect life inside will attract all the marauders from the fruit trees to the glass ; and the scent of the rum is sure to induce the most fastidious wasp to enter as no insect can resist its powerful attractions. THE TALLAHASSEE.—The Beaufort correspondent of the New York Herald, wilting on the 27th, re. ports the running of the blockade of Wilmington by the Tallahassee Confederate cruiser. The Tallahassee, after much devastation, concluded to spend a short time at Wil mington. On the night of the 15th of August, at 10 o'c:ock in the evening, Captain Philin, commanding the gunboat Montecello, while cruising off New Inlet, discovered a steamer standing for the shore under a full head of steam. He at once ordered all men to quarters, and when about 600 yards distant challenged her, but elicited no reply. A second challenge was met by silence, and he directed that a package of 9.inch grape should be presented to the mys terious stranger. 'The arrival of grape at its destination was ascertained by a peculiar sound, caused by a contact with resistance. Tho stranger then replied by returning a shell, which passed between the foremast and mainmast of the Montecello, exploding on the other side without inflict ing any damage. Captain Philin now became more earnest and sent a 3 -pounder shell, to which reply was made in grape, striking almost under the stern of the Montecello. The Montecello then opened with 9-inch and 30-pounder shell short fuse, but was disappointed at receiving no shots in return, and then for the first time discovered that the stranger had suddenly disappeared. During the engage ment a Confederate battery of Whitworth guns, stationed on shore at a point a mile or more distant, kept up a con staht fire against the Montecello, but fortunately doing no damage, though frequently coming very close. When day had dawned so as to make distant objects perceptible, much to the surprise of the assembled vessels, there could be dis cerned, lying serenely and securely under the guns of Fort Fisher, the long sought object of their search, the Confede rate steamer Tallahassee, and there she still lies, and pro bably will continue to stay. Admiral Lee designs taking all possible precaution, and will to-morrow leave this post to visit the blockade off Wilmington. It would seem as if still another was to be added to the fl ee t o f Confederate cruisers. A few nights ago a large fast steamer. carrying at her stern the English ensign, and on her foremast the Confederate colours, entered the port of Wilmington. She is supposed to be a new cruiser, or to have had on board some distinguished passenger. She likewise still remains there. The Tallahassee had but one mast standing when engaged by the Montecello. THE HOP TRADE.—Subjoined is Messrs. Wool. loton and Son's report of the Hop Market :—The warm dry weather of the past summer has caused the sup ply of new hops to arrive at market earlier than usual, end although much of the growth remains unpicked, enough is secured to justity an opinion as to the quantity and quality ef the crop of 1864. Notwithstanding many samples indi • cats the effects of mould, red rust, and black blight (and such hops are always the first to be picked and pressed for sale), we consider that generally this season's crop will be remarkable for ripeness, rich flavour, and condition. The palest samples will probably be scarce, but a bright healthy yellow will be the prevailing colour of the growth. The quantity grown being now no longer a matter of sta tistical accuracy, much difference of opinion will always exist on the subject. Our judgment is that the produce of this year will, at least, equal an old duty of £200,000. A gradual but important increase has taken place in the home plantations duritig the past three years, and there are now more than 50,000 acres under cultivation. The European Hop Plantations have doubled in extent since 1854, and this year produce three-fourths of a full crop. This leaves in excess of local requirements a most important surplus, that must find its way to this country. The crop in Bohemia, Bavaria, Belgium, and the Lorraine district of France, is quite one-third more than last year, and of very superior quality. Baden, Brunswick, Poland, lee, are not so fortunate, but their hops are seldom of good quality, and are chiefly purchased for theadulterations of Bavarianstmd Bohemians. Last year. American letters stated that very few hops from that country would be exported to Europe, but the Cus toms return proves the inaccuracy of tis opinion. We now arc told, most confidently, that the Federal States, so far from being able to export, will require hops from England for their own cons um p tion. We seriously doubt the wis• dom of speculation based upon these reports. The stock in the hands of consumers is probably very small, and on this market scarcely any 1362's or 1863'5 but r e main. For the few left, extreme rates are obtained ; with so abundant an English crop, and the certainty of largo imports from abroad, mindful also of the gloomy prospects tho money market, we apprehend brewers will see the policy of regulating their first purchases with extreme caution. Large parcels of 1855'5, 1856'5, and 1857's remain unconsumed, and where well kept will probably find a ready sale at their present very moderate rates. TROTTING MATCH FOR £5O. —Yesterday a match, in which Mr Arthur undertook to trot his roan mare Peggy eight miles in latlf an hour, come off over two level miles of the old Brighton road, rear Henley.

SEVERAL CHARGES AGAINST AN AUCTIONEER. AND HOUSE AGENT OF OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRE TENCES,—Thomas Godfrey, auctioneer and house agent, of 13, Maddox-street, Regent - street , and 3 A, Hyde-park place, was charged before Mr Tyt whitt with obtaining goods by false pretences from Mr Henry Mills, silve rsm ith and jeweller, of 171, Oxford-street. Mr Longstaff, of the firri of Dod and Longstaff, Berners street, solicitors for the Association for the Protection of trade, prosecuted, and Mr Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, defended. Mr Wm. Mills, assistant to hie father, Mr Henry Mills, silversmith and jeweller, of 171, Oxford street, said that on the 3d September the prisoner called at the shop—being an entice stranger to him, and purchased 12 silver tea spoons of the value of £6, and paid for them with the cheque produced, and took the goods away. The prisoner wrote the cheque in the shop, it being for £6 on the Union Bank of London, Argyle-place branch, and was signed " Gxlfrey and C.)." The cheque was subsequently pre sented at the bank, and marked " N. S." (not suflicient). £he cheque had not been paid since. In answer to Mr Longstaff, witness said he would not have parted with the goods but for the cheque, which he believed would have been paid, and from the fact that the prisoner, at the same time he gave him the chtquo, also gave him a card with his name and address upon it. Mr j.. , anid ho h.d only b..n j..t instructed, ,tna as he understood it was the wish of the other side that there should be a remand, he had no objection. Sergeant White, 16 D, who has charge of the case, said there were several other charges of a similar kind against the prisoner. Mr George Boyce, assistant to Mr Picket, silversmith and jeweller, of 265, Oxford-street, said the prisoner called at his employers' shop and purchased some silver forks, and in payment handed him a check, which he wrote at the time. The check, which was for £8 105 on the Union Bank, Argyle-place branch, was afterwards returned marked " N. 8." At the time prisoner gave him the cheque he also gave him a card on which was "Messrs. Godtrey and Co., Auctioneers, Ste., 13, Maddox -street, Regent street, and 3A, Hyde Park-place." Mr Lewis said he had a person present to show that he had the money left with him for the last witness if he had called for it. The prisoner was remanded for a week, Mr Tyrwhitt stating that as other charges were mentioned he must have two sureties in the sum of £lOO each for the prisoner's future appearance. It was stated that the goods as soon as o btained by the prisoner were taken to the pawnbroker's, and there were several pawnbrokers' assistants in attendance, and while the sergeant was watching the prisoner's residence to take him into custody, he saw a van load of furniture driven up to the house and delivered, not having been paid for. THAMES. ASSAULTING A POLICE CoNsTABLr.--Edward Cham berlain, an officer in the service of the St Catherine Dock Company, was charged before Mr Page. with assaulting C.

Yesterday, at a meeting of the City commissioners of sewers, Deputy De Jersey presiding. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported the results of 989 inspections of houses made since the last meeting of the Court in July—and submitted a list of 208 places for sanitary improvement. He also reported that that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in spected, and the officers had condemned 41,7901 b, or nearly 19 tons cf meat, as unfit for human food. It consisted of 236 sheep, 15 calves, 78 pigs, 200 quarters of beef, and 1,009 joints of meat-12,5911b were diseased, 24,3791 b were putrid, and the rest was from animals that had died from accident or disease. In the course of the last sem n weeks there had been 357 births and 357 deaths in the Ci , y, and they consis'ed in each case of 210 miles and 177 fentale. The mortality re turns are a little in excess of the average (311) fur the corre sponding period of the last eight ye irs. The chief mortality was among children of less than five years of age. Th ese deaths amounted to 192, or nearly halt the total mortality, and there were 71 deaths among persons at 60 and upwards. The ckief causes of death were as follows ;—Phthisis 54 tubes 27—bydrocephalns 3—pneumonia 11—bronchitis 19 continued fever 14—scarlet fever 12—whooping cough 14— croup 6—measles 25—diarrhoea 65, of which 55 wore the diarrhosa of infants, making together 71 deaths from dis eases of a tubercular character-29 from inflammatory disease of the lungs, and exclusive of the infantile diarrhea --81 from disease of the zymotic class. THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY. Dr. Letheby presented his quarterly report of the illu minating power and chemical quality of the gas suppliei to the City. lie stated that 798 examinations had been made of the photometrical power of the gas, each being the mean of ten observations; and the results were that, with the exception of six instances on the part of the Chartered Gas, the illuminating power had always been equal to the re' quirements of the act of Parliament. The average power of the City Company's Gas had been 13.63 candles; that of the Chartered, 13.49; and that of the Great Central, 13.50. In the corresponding quarter of last yell. the mean illuminating power of the City Gas was 13.78 candles; the Chartered, 13 03; and the Great Central, 14 . 15; and in the same quarter of the last ten years, prior to the Act of 1801. the power of the Great Central Gas was 12.93 can dles; while therefore there has been a slight falling off in the power of the gas during the last quarter, as compared with that of 1853, there has been an increase of about 4 per cent. over that of the gas prior to the passing of the Metropolitan Gas Act. As regards the purity of the gas of the several com panies, Dr Letheby reported that it was always free from sulphuretted hydrogen, and that the amount of ammonia in all, except the Chartered Gas, was not excessive, but the proportion of sulphur in the gas was frequently greater than that sanctioned by Parlia ment; in fact, of 76 examinations made of the gas of each of the three companies, there wore 31 instances in which the gas of the City Company contained an excess of sulphur, 42 in that of the Chartered,and 70 in that of the Groat Central—making together 143 cases out of 22S in which the requirements of the law in this particular had not been complied with. The average amount of sulphur in the City Gas been 19 69 grains per 100 cubic feet; in the Chartered Gas, 1917 grains; and in the Great Central, 22.51 grains, the range having been from 35 grains to 144. Lastly, he reported that the average pressure of tho gas had been about an inch of water, the range having been from rather more than two inches to about three-quarters of an inch.

The first journey, however, will not be a long one, and the expectation is that his Majesty will return to the capital in about a month, after having visited Queretaro, Leon, and Guanajuato. He will return to be present at thefete of Mexican Independence, which is to be celebrated on the 16. h September, when he will lay the first atone of a monument which he has ordered to be erected in the centre of the open space before the Palace, in commemoration of that event. His Majesty will, however, soon after undertake fresh excursions, particularly to Vera-Cruz at the commencement of the winter. The Emperor thinks that his presence in the provinces may materially contribute to pacify them : in the first place because the measures adopted to give security to his journey leaves no point unexplored, and next, because the visit of a sovereign always induces a certain number of mal contents to come over to him. Moreover while the military and finance commissions are at work, the presence of the Emperor in the capital is less neces sary. During his Majesty's absence the Empress, being named Regent, will hold the reins of Govern ment. Her Majesty, as is well known, is possessed of 'great intelligence, maturity of judgment and much taut and firmness. ADULTERATION OF SNUFF. —Mr. Phillips, the Principal of the Government Laboratory, states in his report this year that while he can say that few articles of consumption are now sold in so genuine a state as tobacco, and that the use of prohibited materials in the manufac ture of snuff is now but seldom attempted, he has to repre sent that there is a form of adulteration of the latter article far more injurious than the comparatively mild sophistiea • tions sometimes discovered. The law permits the use of lime water in the manufacture of high-dried snufft, such as Irish and Welsh, but it does not state what proportion of lime shall be present in the water, although there can be little doubt that a perfectly clear soilVion of lime in water was meant. Many manufacturers, how - ever, assert that such a solution is useless, and persist in the Ilse of what may be termed " lime wash," or a thick mixture 0: undis solved lime and water. Sever al unsuccessful attempts huve been made within the last two years to suppress the very gross practice, which is still growing, of using such a mixture; and probably until the use of life in the manu facture of snuff is absolutely prohibited the fraud can never be crushed. It has been generally understood that lime was essential in the preparation of high-dried snuff; but a fine specimen of such snuff, made by an emi nent firm in Ireland, has recently been analysed, the re sult being that no more lime was present than what may be found in normal American tobacco ; and it is believed that the same firm strenuously opposed the legalising the use of lime-water, and still maintain that lime, even in small quantity, deteriorates the quantity of snuff. The vicious form of adulteration referred to is almost entirely confined to the north of Ireland, where it appears the habit is vary prevalent among the women employed in the linen and other factories of taking snuff highly charged with lime, and which is known as "white snuff;' and the manufac turers allege, in extenuation of their dishonest practices, that no other description of snuff is acceptable to their cus tomers, apparently forgetting that thy themselves have, by their long- continued illicit practices, engendered the habit which they now seek to bring forward as a plea for their ftaudalent transactions. There have lately been submitted to Mr Phillips several smplea of snuff obtained from manufacturers in Belfast, in which it was impossible to say from a mere inspection whether lime or tobacco predomi nated ; and he has received information from respNtable members in the trade that some manufacturers do not even care to use a mixture of lime and water, but actually grind up dry limo R ith the tobacco in the process of manufac ture. The evil in question appears to demand, both upon social and fiscal considerations, an immediate remedy. It can never be suppret.sed under the e xisting law, and the lonly effectual course to be adopted is the entire prohibition of the use of lime in the manufacture of snuff. Mr Phillips has reason to believe that the e bnoxious rractice is distaste ful to many manufacturer s, who, however, feel compelled in self-defence to adopt it, and that, its continuance is mainly due to the unscrupulous operations of one or two ule)PlieFe of I'i4f, 4 ECONP EDITION.
