Mr. Dawson's appearance. Unknown hitherto to the London world by name, unknown even under that nom de plume of " The Son of Ebor," far-famed, we are left to presume, throughout the north coun try, the writer of this poetical brochure is, at any rate known to us Londoners in one capacity as a Writer hanging on, as it were, by the very eye lashes to the skirts of a certain tenth sort of a muse, aspiring some five years back very frequently to !oar into the empyrean of literature. His identity, in this capacity, the writer of "The Harp" is him self the one to explain and to announce, and that, moreover, with a perfectly manifest self- compla "lV. Not the lyrist of Warren's Blacking, we Would premise —nor y e t t h e one w h ose poe t' s eye Was wont to roll in a fine phrenzy so very often of yore while chaunting the merits of the Messrs. Moses, i n T a il ordom. No : neither of these literary celebrities disclose themselves to view, at last in the person o f M r . Dawson. He hi mse lf tells us With evident pride, however, who it is that , is , addressin g us at l ength i n h i s own name. The author of thi s poem, " h e sa y s , "being the adrer tisemeht clerk to the lee Mr. Robins, the eminent auctioneer, in that capacity lie had frequent oppor tunities of indulging in the descriptive and the beautiful." Now, at last, we may indeed compre hind the reliance Mr. Dawson has upon hi s own capacity. And we can no longer wonder to find him articulating such lofty aspirations in regard to the success awaiting his present poem, when be candidly avows his cherished hope and belief in regard to this effusion of his poetic genius, that—Tasso, Gcethe, Shakspere, Virgil, could hardly wish fcr more The general reader will find sufficient to please, the poet suf f icient to dream over, the painter to illustrate his can vas w i th, and the sculptor to immortalise in statuary." Modest hopes, these, truly ! Other visionaries there are, with straws in their hair, who, as Mr. Dawson believes himself to be a poet, imagine themselves to be Kings wearing golden crowns and wielding jewelled sceptres. To innocent dreamers like these, the dissipation of such very harmless halliucinations were, we cannot but think, a very questionable kindness indeed. 'radshaw's Handbook to the Tyrol. 12m0., pp. 48. W. J. Adams. A cipital little pocket handboA, illustrated not Merely with a number of pretty vignettes, but with what is of far more use to the traveller, especially to the pedestrian, a variety of outline maps or tracings Of routes, has just now been issued from Bradshaw's Guide-office, 59, Fleet -street, as a Handbook to the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. Its appearance is very s , ea sonable ; its getting up is precisely what it should its accur, cy, so far as we have tested it, seems to be highly commendable. It is worthy of being, " it is tolerably certain to be, many a Tyrolese „, ourist's constant and carefully cherished com- Panion. the North British. Review. No. LXXVII. T. and T. Clark, Edinburgh. Some few years ago several new quarterly re views suddenly appeared upon the field which had so long been left in almost undisputed possession to t wo or three standard favourites. Some of these Were publications of undoubted merit, and promi nent among them was the North British Review, which at once assumed a position which it has never since failed to maintain. The character and style of its articles rank it at once the best of its class, and the reader of cultivated taste and literary inte rests can always be certain of finding more than one article to engage his special attention. The Lumber before us is no exception to the rule, since While it by no means neglects the questions of the hour, it has several essa3s of that character which is supposed to be more especially becoming a quar terly review. The essay on Thomas de Quincey is one of these. It is evidently from the pen of one familiar with his writings, who is keenly alive to their merits, though not insensible to their faults. The works of this accomplished author will always ' be held in high esteem by a select. few, although they will never be popular with the unthinking many. So highly does his present critic esteem him that he ranks him among the first hundred of the world's best authors. This is an extreme verdict, although he cites passages of marvellous power and o riginality of thought to confirm it. The wild and strange vicissitudes of De Quincey's early career are briefly and vividly sketched. His sufferings at the tim e of his sojourn in London are not altogether co mprehensible, seeing that his worldly prospects Wer e by no means contemptible. Yet his wants Were real and pressing. "He drank to the dregs of that bitterness which it is to be homeless, friend lees, foodless, in that wilderness of life, wealth, and h uman habitations. The gnawings of hunger, the torments of the money-lenders, the pangs of a proud spirit preyed on him for months of famishing days a nd shiverieg nights." Those who are not familiar W ith the works of this great English writer will Pos sibly be di rec t e d to hi s pages by the glowing tribute here p a id him; and those who are will turn to his ° his writings with renewed interest. "In a time," says the critic, " when we have so mu ch s h am brilliancy and false vivacity, deadly liveliness and forcible feebleness ,When the p enny - a-liner sits iu the high places of lit en. turn to these books with a pleasant use of relief. We are heartily sick of the smell of Cockneydom; its slang and smartness; its know ingness and insincerity, and find it delightful to renew acquaintance with the sty le of a writer who Is not smart nor fast, but always an English gentle. man, with a stately touch of the school in which manners are a sort of surface Christianity." The essay which follows is also biographical, though it treats of a very different man, one of the leaders of the world of action instead of that of thought —Henry Et. John, Lord Bolingbroke. To the abilities of this remarkable man the writer renders full justice, according him, too, more than the common measure 01 moral approbation. The outline of his political career—the history of the one great achievement Which has immortalised his name, while it ruined his fortunes, is well told. Of his qualities as an orator we have this account :—" Possessing that instinct which enables a speaker to bring himself into sympathy with his audience, skilful in detect ing the weak points of an adversary's argument, Skilful in concealing the weak points of hisown,ready, adroit, intrepid, St. John was by his constitution a parliamentary debater. And to these gifts he added others scarcely less essential--a finished delivery, a fervid eloquence, a curious felicity of expres sion ; above all, a capacity for prolonged and trenchant invective. He could rebuke, and he could ridicule, He was passionate, and he was ironical. Ilia scorn tempered his passion, and his passion Rave a glow to his scorn; He became a power in St. Stephen's before he had been a year within its W ells." After this interesting memory of a bygone a ge, we are suddenly recalled to the practical neces sities of the present, by a paper on the "Educe lion and Management of the Imbecile." Recent ex- Perience has shown how very greatly the condition of these unfortunate creatures may be ameliorated and their powers developed by kind and judicious treatment. The asylum at Earlswood has in many eases the most astonishing results, as in the instance of a pupil who left last year, and now supports _himself in lodgings. Society is deeply concerned rn • any such question, and the facts which are brought bef ore the reader in this article demonstrate the necessity that exists for such institutions in most convincing manner. tents are Among the rema i n i ng con papers 'on Mormonism and Spiritualism, which are well worthy of atte , besides o th ers the danyloti on the p o li t i cal topics Of The Bose, the Shamrock nd the Thistle Magazi ne.

The Chess Player's Magazine. 0 wen, 67, Strand, The lovers of this stately old pastime have now a serial of their own entirely devoted to the conside ration of the matters connected with chess. We have chess in Germany, in the Birrnan Empire, in London, in the provinces, duly reported and dilated on, besides solutions to problems, lessons for be ginners, and rmswers to correspondents, f 6 o that the chess-player is well supplied. SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS. A grazier of Pomerania has communicated to the School of Medicine at Berlin a method of his for preserving horned cattle from the contagious typhus fever which, a few years ag o , cause d suc h uneasi- ness to agriculturists in Germany. It consists in inoculating the animals with the saliva of a subject labouring under the disease, by making an incision somewhat less than an inch in length on the inner side of the thigh.—The attention of medical men both in England and France has of late been drawn to the ill effects resulting from the habit of reading while travelling by rail. Dr. Legrand de Saulle remarks that reading under such circumstances is extremely fatiguing to the eyes, owing to the jolting of the vehicle, and that this fatiguein duces headache, and often orbitary pains round the eyes, with a slight congestion of the retina, which, when the habit has become regular and in veterate, and the subject is advanced in age, may in the end determine a real congestion of the brain.— The Antwerp Journal states that perchloride of iron combined with collodion is a good haemostatic in the case of wounds, the bites of leeches, &o. To prepare it,one part of crystallised perchloride of iron is mixed with six parts of collodion. The perchloride of iron should be added gradually aad with care; otherwise such a quantity of heat will be generated as to cause the collodion to boil. The composition when well made, is of a yellowish red, per fectly limpid, and produces on the skin a yellow pellicle, which retains great elasticity.— Pouring cold water on the face and head appears to be a good remedy in cases of poisoning by narco tics. A young woman a few days ago accidentally swallowed six drachms of a mixture of laudanum and chloroform with some hydrocyanic acid in. She immediately vomited a portion of the liquid, and then fell down in a state of coma. Professor Harley being called in, he administered hot coffee and nitric ether, and proceeded to effect artificial respiration. No great improvement was perceptible; but on the application of cold water to the forehead the effect was magical. The patient began to breathe more freely, and she lost some blood from the nose. As soon as the effusion of cold water ceased, the coma returned, and was again removed by renewing the effusion ; the patient soon moved her arms and legs, and seemed anxious to avoid the stream of water, as if it caused her pain. This treatment was re newed by intervals until the following day ; and after the lapse of 60 hours, all distressing symptoms disappeared completely. CRYSTAL PALACE. The benefit of Mr. Strange, the purveyor-general to her 'Majesty's lieges visiting the Crystal Palace, s w u a c s e , es w s. e are H a rejoiced ditbee no t t o he s r a w y ;se a , g it re w a o t u l a a nd ha d v e e c b id ee e n d t a ie v s e m ry r u . n s g tr r a a n te g f e ul ha r s et t u o r u n n f d o e r r t g h o e in w o o r n d d e e r r t f o u l m d e iffi e tctuhle ever - varying demands upon the commissariat department of the Palace at Sydenham. Unlike those necessarily made upon a large establishment, where the number of visitors or residents can be pretty nearly ascertained, the wants of the visitors to the Crystal Palace can never be estimated and provided for. The attendance is regulated in a great measure by the weather, and when that uncertainty is taken into con sideration, it is something surprising that the tastes of thousands are so adequately supplied. Of course there must ba occasions when disappoint ments as to a favourite dish are to be met with, but let those who have suffered under that inconve nience for one minute consider the ever-varying number of visitors, and inconsiderate indeed must be that person who is not convinced that the ar rangemects of Mr. Strange are neither imperfect nor parsimonious, because on some special occasion a plate of salmon, or a dish of whitebait, is not to be had by asking for. The visitor ought, before coming to the conclusion that the arrange ments are bad, to consider the number of persons present, not one of which has given Mr. Strange the slightest notice of what he should like for dinner. There is an old story about a number of cockneys going on a pic-nic excursion, and when each opened his provision basket it was found to contain a solitary leg of lamb, but neither bread nor salt. Of course the consternation under such circumstances may be imagined; each would have acted differently had he known his friend would not have brought the bread. On the same rule Mr. Strange, if he could correctly ascertain the number requiring a certain dish, would most assuredly amply provide for all. Our great surprise is, not that we cannot always have salmon when we wish it, but that the complaints, taking into considera tion the number of visitors, are so few. On the occasion of Mr. Strange's benefit, however, there was no room for complaint, both refreshments and amusements were of the most unlimited character. There were three military bands stationed in the grounds, a grand organ performance, comic singing, a grand concert of national melodies by 200 voices, the brothers Stonette, the Elliotts in their elegant ball-room entertainment, a balloon ascent, military sports, the great fountains, and the performances of Blondin on the low rope. At the termination of the amusements the place and grounds were lit up with coloured fires, and thus one of the greatest fetes of the season was brought to a conclusion amidst a blaze of triumph. THE ADVANTAGES OF BUS' RACING. AS SUMMED UP BY A. SPORTING SURGEON. "Donca s t er . Pshaw You'll not catch me go i ng th ere this meeting, I can promise you. Yes, I like seeing a good race, and the St. Leger is a crack one : but the fact is, just at present there are races here in London, which to me are far more interesting. What do I mean ? My boy, I mean the Races of the Omnibuses, and I'll trouble you to show me any that can equal them. One goes to races chiefly for excitement. Now, to get up a sensation there's nothing like an accident, and for the chance of a good accident there's nothing like a 'bus race, Yes, I know all that ; there was a spill last Derby, and not a bad one, either, Still, you see, in horse racing if there is an accident, it's only to an animal, or may be to a jockey. But in 'bus racing, my boy, there is no telling what may happen, from a conductor being crushed to a child being run over. Be sides, the 'busses may capsize in rattling down a hill, for of course when they are racing they never stop to put the skid on. And then, the chances are there'll be a jolly lot of casualties, and you may get some goodish cases if you are looking out for them. I make a point myself of attending all the 'bus races ; and I assure you, I've picked up a pretty tidy lot of practice at them. You see, there's sure to be a race as soon as a new 'bus is started on the line of route which has been worked by the General Monopoly Inconvenient Conveyance Company. Directly the Dew 'bus starts the G. M. I. C. C. start a couple more to nurse it, one keeping close in front and the other close behind it; so besides the chance of being torn to pieces by the cads, the passengers in getting en or off the 'busses while going a t f u ll speed, are pretty sure to come to grief and broken bones occasionally. "so, long live this 'bus-racing, say I; for however gre-Lt a nuisance it may be to the public, it is certainly a benefit to men of my profession, and the longer that it flourishes the better will it be for us. The only thing I fear is, that, by some accidental act of common sense, a jury s h ou ld re turn a verdict of manslaughter against niy goo d f r i ends the directors of the G. M. I. C. C., who are, after all, th e chief promoters of 'bus•racing. In that case there would, doubtless, be a stop put to the sport; but the contingency of commo n sense occurring to a jury is really so remote, that it 13 hardly worth conhidering: —Punch.

BOW-STREET. COMMITTAL OF A HOLESALE BURGLAR. —J as Black burn. who already stands committed from this Court upon three cases of burglary, was again placed at the bar, charged with a number of other daring robberies. Mrs. Mary Sharp, of 19, Taviton-street, Euston-square, said on the 21st August last I went to bed at 10 minutes to 12, at which hour the fastenings of the house were, to the best of my belief, secure. The next morning I rose about seven o'clock, when I found the street door unfastened, which I had secured myself previous to going to bed. On entering the drawing-room I first missed the clock, and for that loss I unfortunately suspected one of my servants, whom I discharged. The next thing I missed was the clock out of the dining room. I also lost six spoons, an eggstand, teapot, a tablecloth, and other things, in value over £lOO. I have already laid out £25 in replacing the necessaries taken away. I identify the book, the table cloth, the efigstand, and other articles now produced, as belonging to me. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said—The prisoner was in my custody on another charge. On going to his lodgings, at No. 135, Long Acre, I found the property of Mrs. Sharp among a largo quantity of other articles. I also found some duplicates relating to property, which Mrs. Sharp had identified as hers. 1 also found a clock at a ?üblic-house in Covent-garden market, which she bas also identified as hers. I examined the drawing-room windows of 19, Taviten.street, and found they could be easily opened from the outside, if the catch was not properly fixed. There is a balcony running along the front of the houses in the street, and any one getting into the balcony of the corner house could pass along to No. 19, without any difficulty. Mr. Skeat, landlord of the Britannia publichouse, Covent garden, said about three or four months ago the prisoner came frequently to my house in the costume of a sailor. I asked him what ship he belonged to; he said the yacht Gala tea. After this one morning he met me in front of the house and said he had a timepiece he would give me, as he said I had been kind to him. I told him I didn't want his present, as I knew nothing of him except as a customer. However he brought the clock and left it. The clock now produced by Inspector Garforth is the one. The prisoner wore a gold band round his cap. Charles Kirby, of 135, Long Acre, coffeehouse keeper said the prisoner had been lodging on and off at my house about twelve months. He represented himself on the first occasion as steward cf the Intrepid. When he came last time he said he had left the Intrepid and joined the Galatea. I showed the prisoner's apartments to the police, and the articles now in court were brought to my place by him. I saw him bring in the clock spoken to by Mr. Skeetes. Thomas Stapleton, assistant to Mr. Wells, a pawnbroker produced an umbrella which had been pledged by the pri soner in the name of Smith. Mrs. Sharp identified the article as her property. Inspector Garforth said he had another serious case against the prisoner. Mr. Corrie—You have already completed four. Don't ycu think that's sufficient? _ Inspector Garforth—There is one case I should like to have taken. Mr, Corrie—Very well, let me hear it, Elizabeth Hoskins, cook to Mr. Overend, of 1, Albany terrace, Regent's-park, said—On the 23d of last August I went to bed about 11 o'clock, and securely fastened the front door before doing so. The entry to the premises must have been effected by the spare bedroom window, which had been left unfastened. When I got up in the morning I found the street door wide open. I went first to the pantry, and found the silver missing. It consisted of a dozen and a half of tea, four salt, a mustard, and six or seven dessert spoons. The book slide in court was on the drawing room table, and the despatch box (produced) was in the library. The two brooches produced must have been taken out of the bed room whilst the young ladies were asleep. A quantity of table linen was also taken away. My desk was forced open and £2 10s. taken therefrom. ::Tha whole of the silver, together with the articles in gold, amounting in value to upwards of £6O, was here pro duced by Inspector Garforth and identified by the witness as belonging to her master. Inspector Garforth formally proved the finding the pro. party at the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. Corrie (to prisoner)—l'm going to send you for trial, so if you have anything to say, now is the proper time. Prisoner—l've nothing to say. Inspector Garforth—l should wish for another remand; there are circumstances for such a step that, if mentioned publicly, might defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Corrie—Then by all means let the prisoner be brought up again this day week, but at present he stands committed on five charges of burglary. Inspector Garforth—There is a large quantity of pro pel ty found at the prisoner's lodgings that has not yet been identified, and also a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates re lating to clocks, books, &c., no doubt the proceeds of bur glaries. I have five other cases against the prisoner com plete, and in a few days, your worship, I shall have as many more. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. There is every reason to believe, from letters found in the prisoner's box, that his representations relative to his hold ing the appointment of steward to the Galatea, yacht, now at Southampton, is correct. MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. AND CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. With the exception of some first-class bills having been negotiated at 38 per cent., the money market to-day exhibits no feature of novelty, the ordinary inquiries being numerous, and the quo tations firm. A special meeting of the shareholders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-day for the purpose of considering the propriety of re moving Mr. Bourne from the offices of managing director and ordinary director of the company. Colonel Grimes occupied the chair, and read a very long statement, in which certain charges were pre ferred against Mr. Bourne, who, in reply, had also published a minute of the affairs of the company, rebutting the allegations made against him. [Th e meeting had not terminated when this report had left.] Since the date when the last Gazette return was published the total amount of gold sent into the Bank of England has represented £208,000. About £54,000 was taken there yesterday. The Aaglesey from Port Philip has arrived this morning with £145,120. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up o this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862. Great Western £65,045 £68,127 North-Western South- Western Brighton Midland youth-Eastern Great Northern ..

On the South Western there is an increase of £1,008; the Midland of X 1,208 ; the Greet Northern of £1,194; the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £1,210; the North Eastern of £3,060 ; the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln of £1,228; the North British of 1923 ; and the Edinburgh and Glasgow of £544. The Great Western, however, shows a decrease of £3,082 ; the South Western of £1,235 ; the Brighton of £3,432 ; the South Eastern of £6BO ; and the Great Eastern of £2B. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (X 300,000) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were, to Cal cutta 16,35,000 rupees, to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees, and to Madras 16,50,000 rupees. The minimum price was declared to be ls. 2.11 d. per rupee on Cal- cutta and Madras, and ls. 114 d. on Bombay, being a reduction of /d. in the case of Madras. The ap plications within the limits amounted to 223 lacs. Tenders on Calcutta at ls. 11 d. will receive about 6 per cent. on Bombay at 25., about 87 per cent. All above these prices, and all tenders on Madras will receive in full. Two O'CLOCK, To-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentea were 68f. sc. Heavy many offers. As was fully anticipated, the Bank of England has at their meeting to•day made no alteration in their discount negotiations. The Funds area trifle better than they were at the close of business yesterday afternoon. A few purchases have taken place, and Consols are 937 for transfer, and 93a 4 for the Bth proximo. The market, though somewhat firmer, is still remark ably dull. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 92 r i ; and Exchequer Bills par.; India 5 per Conte. continue steady at 1084 -1-; the Enfaced 4 per Cents. 981 ; the Debentures, I.oq. ; and the Bonds, 17s. to 20s. prem. There has been a general upward movement in the value of Foreign Securities, and business is rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 70/ do., 1862, 71/ ; do., Cunsolides, 5n ; Mexican, 44/Z ; Greek, 38 ; do., Coupons, 183 ; Spanish Passive, 361 371 ; do., Internal, 31-1: 321 ; do., Cer tificates, 141 1 ; Pnrtuguese, 493 ; Peruvian, 881 Russian, 933 ; Venezuelan, 591 a ; Italian, 72 73 ; do., Maremmana Railway Loan, 801 ; and the Confederate Loan, 26 to 24 discount. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been rather limited, but prices have in most in stances slightly improved.

AND A CHEMIST.-Mr. George Jardine Presswell, solicitor, of New Milman-street, was charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Mr. Samuel Robertson, of Church-street, Hackney. Complainant said—l am a stranger to the defendant. I was in the Haymarket about half-past one this morning, when I met two young men, and seeing the police were in terfering with them I gave them some good advice, once having been locked up myself. The defendant said I was a thief and a pickpocket. I then went to the Cafe Regence, and at half-past five, while standing at the door talking to the waiter, I saw the defendant and the two others passing by. I said to the waiter, " There goes a man who called me a thief." The defendant overheard what I said, came across to me and struck me in the face, saying I was a " w—'s man,'' I only want the defendant to apologise, as he has been locked up. Defendant—l did not call him what he says, and I hought he was a friend of the others. Sergeant Howe, 25 C—At half-past five this morning I was at the corner of Windmill-street, and saw the com plainant talking to a waiter. The defendant and others walked up Windmill street on the opposite side of the way, and complainant called out to defendant, " You with the Dundreary hat," and then crossed over. Some high words ensued, and defendant struck complainant in the face. The defendant and others would have passed on quietly but for the complainant. Mr. Knox—The affair is a trivial one, and if Mr,Robert son had kept himself quiet nothing would have occurred. Still there has been an assault in the eye of the law, and I order the defendant to pay Is. Mr. Powell, chemist, of 27, Haymarket, was charged with assaulting police-constable Yeo, 316 A. The constable heard the defendant, who was in company of some prostitutes, making a great noise, and requested him to desist, but he refused, and sho: k the constable in a violent manner. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable, and also Holden, 297 A, said the defendant was drunk. Defendaait denied that ho was drunk, and Mr. Knox offered to put the case back, that the inspector, who took the charge might attend, but the defeniant declined this step, and was fined 10s. or 7 days. WESTMINSTER. ESCAPING CHEAPLY.—JaneFroud, a respectable-looking woman, was charged with assaulting and wounding John Miller. The prosecutor, who was wounded over the left eye and in the hand, said that he met the prisoner's husband last night at Chelsea, and they had some words about a small sum of money which one owed the other. At length the dispute ended in a scuffle taking place between them, in the course of which the prisoner advanced towards him with a jug in her hand, and struck prosecutor a blow on the eye and a second on the hand. The blows were given with such force that the jug was broken to pieces. Prisoner said that prosecutor was striking her husband at the time, and she threw the jug, but did not strike in the mode described. Prosecutor declared that no blow had been struck between them. George Shakespeare said he was present. He heard Miller ask about some money which , and the men closed, and were having a scuffle, when pri soner broke the jug over his head as described. He was wounded, and bled a pint and a half. He was taken to a doctor's and had his head dressed, but it bled even while he w as at the station. Police-constable Turnbull, 61 B, said he was fetched by the prisoner, who wanted to give the prosecutor into cus tody, but finding the injury he had received witness took him. Mr. Selfe asked prosecutor whether he would take com pensation ? Prosecutor said be would; he had no wish to press the matter against the accused, as she had a large family. Prisoner's husband wanted a summons against prosecu tor for assaulting him. Mr. Selfe said he could not grant that after his wife had attacked prosecutor this way. To clear the score of 1s 10d between them and the injury, prisoner must pay pro secutor 7s. THAMES. AT THE WRONG STATION.—Hugh Barnes, a Lancashire workman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting S. Whistler, ticket collector at the Shadwell station of the Blackwall Rail way. The complainant stated that the prisoner came to the shadwell station yesterday afternoon with a Poplar ticket for Gravesend. He told the prisoner he must go back to Poplar, and could not proceed to Gravesend with that ticket. The prisoner. who was very drunk, attempted to go up stairs, and to prevent his falling into danger, he stopped him, sad said he could not be allowed to go 1 on the platform and endanger his life. The prisoner said he would go where he liked, and insisted on proceeding up stairs. He laid hold of the prisoner and pulled him back, on which he seized him by the coat, which he tore. A tailor sa id t h e repa i rs would cost ss. The witness, who F wore the torn coat, pointed to a large rent under the right 11."1:11 and another in front of the coat. Zn answer to Mr. Partridge. the witness said that a ticket paid for at Poplar would not entitle a man to travel to Gravesend from Shadwell. Mr. Bawdier, the second clerk, said the Shadwell station was a miler and a quarter nearer London than Poplar. Whistler said the prisoner must have walked from Poplar to Shadwell, and did not come up by rail. The ticket was inscribed " Poplar to Gravesend —second class." The prisoner made a rambling defence, and said he was a hard-working man, and thought it very hard, after he had paid his fare, that he could not proceed to his destina tion. Mr. Partridge said there was no hardship in the case. The prisoner was not entitled to leave Shadwell for Graves end with a Poplar tizlet ; and if he was, it was the bounden duty of railway companies and their servants to prevent drunken men or women travelling on their lines under any pretence whatever. The complainant had acted most pro perly and discreetly. He fined the prisoner ls., and ss. in addition for the damage done to the coat. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

However, the trade was less active than on Monday, yet previous quotations were well supported. The show of calves was moderately good, and the demand ruled inactive at about previous rates.

Sept. 15.—The demand f or flax, tow, and codilla was very languid today again, and few transactions are reported. The better qualities hav e undergone little change in value, but the tenden cy is in favour of the buyer. Common is irregular i n price, and can be bought lower than on last market. The recent fall in prices in the Baltic ports has in (lased more free on board business, and there is still much offering out. Jute in good request, and very saleable, at a small advance, bat the market not well supplied with suitable qualities. Te-day there was great animation in yarns and linens. A large business done in them. Flax and tow yarns were much wanted, and higher prices freely paid for them for delivery months hence. The American advices re port less doing in linens, owing to the great ad vance in the exchange, but buyers here continue to operate extensively, having confidence in the sta bility of that market. The demand for other foreign markets continues excellent. LEICESTER, Sept. 16 .—There is a good deal of activity in the hosiery trade. Regular goods meet a good sale, and there is yet a fair demand for fancy hosiery. Manufacturers hold busy with orders on hand. In the rural districts business is without much change. The yarn-market is firm, and there is a fair demand for material, very high prices being made. Wools are selling at late rates. NOTTINGHAM, Sept. 16.—There is little if any more doing in cotton-lace goods this week than last. It is usually a quiet period of the year, and the present season is no exception. There are some small orders for Mechlin quiltings in the market, and a few plain nets are finishing, otherwise very little is doing in cotton fabrics. The silk-lace trade is rather quiet. Yarns continue exceedingly dear, and the market remains very firm. Shan 100 tk 20 stock stock stock stock stook a took stock stock stock ♦rock IVIEAT MARKETS.

No expense whatever i s spared in con stantly adding to its present collection of rare and costly relics, every object that may be deemed worthy of a place in the establishment. Lifg-size models of the English Mo narchs, attired in appropriate costume, from Willi am the Conqueror to that of her present Majesty, conti nue to b e one of the most attractive features in the exhibition. NEW DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII.--A house has been uncovered, which, to judge from the splendour of its interior, and its almost entirely preserved furniture' must have belonged to a very wea l t h y proprietor. The triclinium (dining room) is paved with mosaic, representing a number of gourmandises of the time. The completely served table is covered with petrified remnants of dishes; and around it are found three divans, or rather table-beds, of bronze, richly adorned with gold and silver, upon which reposed several skeletons. A. great many precious jewels were found near them. On the table stood, among other ornaments, a very beautifully worked statue of Bacchus in silver, with eyes of enamel, a collar of jewels, and precious armlets. A GALLANT TAR.—A very gallant and deter mined act was performed by Commander Edward Wilmot, of the Euryalus, flag-ship of Admiral Kuper, on the night of June 25 last. While the ship was at anchor at Yokohama ono of the marine sentries fell overboard, and being encumbered with his full accoutrements instantly sank, together with a seaman who had rushed overboard to his assistance. Commander Wilmot, at this critical moment, jumped overboard, and having dexterously placed himsel, under the drowning men, brought them both to the surface and safely on board. This is not the first act of the like naturo this gallant officer has performed, and his presence on the spot, which was quiet accidental, was most fortunate on this occasion in saving two valuable lives. REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTII.—We learn that it is the intention of the Hon. Henry Cowper, brother of Earl Cowper and captain of the Ist Herta Rifle Corps, to be the Liberal candidate for the represintation of Tamworth, rendered vacant by the accession of Lord Raynham to the peeraEs,—.lderts fseex Journal. GERMANY AND DENMARK. A letter from Frankfort, in the Botschafter, dated the 9th inst., says :—" I am enabled to give you the information that Austria has made a positive decla ration, es regards Federal execution in Holstein, to all the Great Powers—to France, Russia, and Eng land, especially to the latter, that the Dano-German question must be settled, and that Federal execu tion has become indispensable if Denmark should persist in her resistance, no matter what the con sequences may be. The language of Austria is very decided, and has not been modified by the objections which the Great Powers —especially England, have made, Austria has declared, in a straightforward manner, that it rests with the Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent armed intervention, that Denmark, not Germany, must give in." A letter from Hanover, dated 9th September, says :—"I am able to inform you, from an au thentic source, that preparations are being made in our military circles for carrying out Federal execution in Schleswig and Holstein, and it will very shortly take place, despite the attempts of mediation which have been made since the recap tion of the last Danish note." A letter from Copenhagen, dated 7th September, says :—" The Swedish Minister M. de .Mander stroem, has left our city. after having held long conferences both here and at Malmoe, with H. Hall, at which the English Ambassador was pre sent. In these conferences the details of an offen sive and defensive alliance between Sweden and D enmar k were settled. Although this alliance is an accomplished fact, it is s till want i ng i n one point. The reciprocal signatures have not yet been put to it. is not without importance. I can tell you from a reliable source that they will not be put until Federal execution shall have actually commenced. Military preparations are going on actively. Two more ships of war have left for Flensburg." The Constitutionnel has the following :—" IV ill the Federal Diet have recourse to arms ? This is the question which is now under discussion at Frankfort, at Berlin, and at Vienna. In a few days the political and military reports will be ready -which have been ordered by the Diet. We doubt, however; whether , any acti ve measures w i ll be taken at once. Caution to the Public against "Advertising Tipsters," As horse-racing has long been the national sport of land, and patronised and encouraged by the highest in the l a nd, we think it right to warn our readers and the public against those professional " Advertising Tipsters" who live upon the credulity of those who unthinkingly place confi dence in them. The following are a few examples, copied from the columns of the Illanchester Guardian, of their pretended foreknowledge of the ultimate results in a greet race:-- THE ST. LEGER STARES. Sefton's Selection :—St. Leger winner at 40 to 1. L or d Clifden, Ranger, and Queen Bertha have no chance. henry Hotspur, the great turf adviser (not the talented writer for the Daily Telegraph), says—" « ells will win the St. Leger on the flyer I will send you, now at 30 to 1; Lord Clifden has no chance." Again, the same worthy says : • "Lay against Lord Clifden, Ranger, Golden Pledge, and Avenger for the St. Leger, for these are the horses book makers get their farms and mansions out of, as they are not in the bunt, and the winner is still at good odds. .As a climax to the above, we will give one more front a DS acclesfield " Bull," and leave our sporting readers to judge for themselves :—" £5OO —A Challenge to the World.— St. Leger, a certainty; could carry 10 stone and beat Lord C liiden ; pepper that gentleman and back my flyer. I have the best things ever sent out for Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, now at 100 to 1 ; will see 5 to 1, and win. (The week, 12 stamps ; one month, 30 ; season, 7s. 6d."

VERY STRANGE.—The extraordinary facilities for locomotion in the present day are the cause of strange sights. Only the day before yesterday, at a quarter -past four, we saw Bolt-court running into Fleet-street I—Fun. The Aissa-Outra, one of the most fanatic sects of Islamism, have just celebrated at Algiers the anniversary of the birih of Mehemet. The scene was a very exciting one. Some of them applied their tongues to hot iron; others performed the exercise of the trapeze on very sharp sabre blades; others ate scorpions or plunged sharp pieces of iron into their eyes and made them start from their orbits, and some enthusiasts capped all these performances by swallowing the most prickly leaves of the cactus. Serpent charmers also exercised their calling ; they made necklaces and bracelets of those reptiles, irritated them, and then calmed them by playing on the flute, thus rendering them E 0 lame that they went into the men's mouths without doing an) injury. A portion of a Roman road has just been dis covered at Trier by some men engaged in digging a cellar. It is six feet below the surface; its upper stratum is com posed of very hard pebbles laid down three feet deep, and resting= blocks of limestone. A Dijon journal states that an old man, named Golot, who was born in January, 1757, passed through that town last week on his way to Bour bonne-les-Bain. Notwithstanding his 106 years, the gallant old man is in the enjoyment of excel. lent health and walks well without the help of a stick.
