A moderate amount of business is reported in the discount market, but the demand is quieter than it was early in the week, and the supply of money is a little larger. The rates, however, continue firm. Important alterations are shown in the Bank of England return, completed to Wednesday last, but the principal is a considerable increase in the loan and discount operations of the establishment, con sequent upon the usual advances made at this period of the quarter. The following table shows the Principal variations;— Active Circulation .. £21,140,156 Increase .. .. 1,153,166 Bullion .. .. • • .. 15,080,277 Increase .. • • • • 54,159 • • Rest 3 200 918 Increase .. 33,055 Public Deposits 10,356,373 Increase •• •• •• •• 77,320 Other Deposits.. .. .• 16,274,739 Increase .. .. 2,469,743 Seven Day and other Bills .. .. 598 606 Increase .. • • • • • • 59,931 Government Securities • . .. 11,050, 279 Decrease . • .. .. 201,116 Other Securities • • .. .. 25,343,236 Increase .. • • .. 3,935, 1 72 Notes Unemployed .. • . 7,734,210 Decrease .. • • .. .. 1,055,290 A further BUM of £40,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Aboukir has arrived from New Zealand with £122,024. The prospectus has appeared of the Hudson's Bay Company, brought forward under the auspices of the International Financial Society. This old company, which possesses a royal charter granted by Charles ll.,holds the exclusive right over a territory,in North America, comprising as many as 1,400,000 square miles. This right it has hitherto used for the purpose of trading with the natives for furs, and under its new reorganisation it proposes to extend its former operations, and to open up its southern districts to European colonisation under a liberal system of land settlement. The home, as well as the Governments of Canada, Van couver's Island, and British Columbia, are desirous of providing means for telegraphic com munication across the company's territory, so as to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and in furtherance of this object they offer a guaranteed interest and grants of Crown property. It will thus be seen that the new company's prospects of success will be far greater than could ever have been contemplated years ago by its predecessors. The capital offered to the public is £1,930,000, which is to be raised by shares of £2O each, and a preference in the allotment is to be given to the holders of stock in the two companies, viz., the Old Hudson's Bay and the International Financial. Subscribers will be en titled to an interest corresponding to the amount of their subscription in the assets of the Hudson Bay Company valued at £1,023,569 in the landed terri tory, and in a cash balance of £370,000. As an illustration of the manner in which the scheme has been received by the public, it may be remembered that the Duke of Newcastle referred to the project last evening in favourable terms, when introducing the British Columbia Boundaries Bill, and it was also favourably alluded to by several other mem bers. At the Stock Exchange this morning the shares are quoted 21 prem. At the yearly meeting to-day of the London Dock Company, Mr. C. J. Manning in the chair, the re port stated that the profit and loss account showed a balance of £204,375, out of which it was recom mended to pay a dividend of L 1 7s. 6d. per cent., amounting to £52,482 for the six months. It was stated by the chairman that negotiations were in progress for the amalgamation of the company with the St. Katherine's Dock Company, on a basis of perfect equality. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Pera, which 'caves to-morrow with the India and China mails is 1100,743. At Paris this morning, 'according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 55c. Inanimate.

That the committee, having received a letter dated the 19th of Juno last from the Sergeant-at-Arms, in which a doubt is raised as to the right of the keeper of the refreshment-rooms to the subsidy of £3OO a year, at present received by him, re commend that, in lieu of the said subsidy, a grant of not less than £5OO per annum be placed at the disposal of the kitchen and refreshment-room committee for the time being, to provide for the necessary servants, &co requisite tor the efficient working of the department. 2. That the keeper of the refreshment-rooms be appointed wine butler, and be paid by means of a corkage on the wines consumed, and that the rate of corkage be dependog on the value of the wine." Messrs.

GIIRNEY V. GURNEY. - . This was a petition presented by the wife praying for disso tion of marriage. The parties were married in. 1862, the respondent being a brewer, residing near Sudbury. For some time they lived happily together, but in about a year afterwards differences arose. The petitioner alleged that she was treated with great cruelty, and ultimately she separated entirely from her husband. It afterwards became known that the respondent was in the habit of carrying on an adulterous intercourse with the female domestics. Elizabeth Pearce said she had been in the respondent's service, and while there he in the first instance succeeded in his purpose with her against her inclination, but since that time she had been on familiar terms with him. He told her that the person whom she succeeded always granted him whatever he required. Elizabeth Angel said she resided with the respondent as domestic servant. She had heard him threaten his wife, but never ill use her. He never was guilty of any impro priety towards her. Mr. M'lntosh said he watched the respondent a short time ago, and saw him go into an hotel with the last wit ness in Parry-street, Tottenham-court road. The witness was recalled, and said she did not recollect ever entering a house with the respondent. The case had not concluded when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HIGHWAY ROBBERY OF A GENTLEMAN—.3AILING CASE. —Michael Flanagan, alias Mahony, was charged by Ser geant Cole, 23 C, with being concerned with others in steal ing a gold watch and chain from the person of Mr. John James, of No. 2, Cornwall-terrace, Regent's-park. It appears that the gentleman robbed is a person of rather weak mind, and while looking in a shop window in New Compton-street, the prisoner and some other lads went to him, and seizing him, pinned him against a wall, and then stole his gold watch and chain, and made off. Two girls saw the prisoner run away from the gentleman, and infor mation being given to Sergeant Cule, he succeeded in capturing one of the lads, and he is now under remand at Bow-street, and yesterday he succeeded in taking Flanagan into custody. In his doing so, Flanagan said he supposed he should get " lagged" this time, although he was not concerned In it, being at the time at tha _Raglan Music hall. The prisoner was remanded, that he may be brought up with the other prisoner. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF WIFE BEATING.—A man named Prout, a stable-keeper, was charged before Mr. Arnold with vio lently assaulting his wife at 42, Albany-road. Complainant stated that about 12 o'clock that morning, the prisoner came home, and while she was in bed gave her some violent blows, which awoke her. She implored him to have mercy upon her, and not to beat her. He next pulled her out of ,bed. She called for assistance and ran into the street, having on only her chemise. A policeman came up when she gave him an account of the assault upon * nen She added that all she wanted was protection. Mr. Arnold observed that these cases have become too serious, and that it was necessary an example should be made of such an assault. The prisoner stated that he did not strike his wife. She was drunk, and is often in the habit of coming home in a state of intoxication. She also took up a knife to strike him. Complainant denied that she was drunk, and said that she had not a knife in her hand. While she was in the street a lodger came to her and placed a gown over her. Police-constable 47 B deposed that he saw the complain ant standing in the street. She was bleeding from a wound in her face. She was sober. A-lodger gave evidence to the effect that the complainant was not in the habit of getting drunk. The constable produced a towel, which was covered with blood. The prisoner was remanded. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Owing to the continu ance of favourable weather, both red and white qualities wet a dull inquiry, and prices had a downward tendency. The supply of foreign wheat was somewhat extensive. The demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and where sales were pressed prices favoured the buyer. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at barely late rates. There was rather more foreign barley on the stands, but he show of English produce was very small. Both grind ng and distilling qualities supported Monday's currency, with a moderate demand. Malt was in slow request, on former terms. The supply of oats was moderately large. Good and fine parcels sold steadily, at full prices; otherwise, the trade was dull. Beans and peas were held at full prices ; but the demand ruled by no means active. The flour trade was dull, and in some instances the quo tations were rather drooping. Barrels were in good supply.

The accounts from the plantations continue favourable. For all kinds of hops the demand rules inactive, and, in some instances, inferior produce is selling at rather lower prices. The supply of foreign hops on offer is large for tho time of year. COLONIAL. TEA.—The dealings have been in a great measure sus pended until the public sales which take place on Tuesday next.

PHILLIMORE. —lf it be a sign of bad taste, says the Critic, that Thackeray should have his thousands and Dickens his ten thousands of readers ; that multitudes should be moved by the strength, and humour, and pathos of George Eliot ; that the pen of Charles Kingsley should have power to charm the men and women of all classes; that many another, whom it were tedious to mention, should be welcomed to the homes of high and low, to teach godliness, and manli• ness, and goodwill towards men and that Tennyson should wear the Laureate's wreath—then we differ from Mr. Pbillimore in his notion of taste. A FAMOUS LEADER OF FASHION.--I was then taken to Lord Petersham's apartments. where we found his lordship, one of the chief dandies of the day, em ployed in making a particular sort of blacking, which he said would eventually supersede every other. The room into which we were ushered was more like a shop than a gentleman's sitting room ; all round the walls were shelves, upon which were placed tea canisters, containing congou, pekoe, souchong, bohea, gunpowder, russian, and many other teas, all the best of the kind ; on the other side of the room were beautitul jars with names, in gilt letters, of in numerable kinds of snuff, and all the necessary apparatus for moistening and mixing. Lord Petersham's mixture is still well known to all tobacconists. Other shelves and many of the tables were covered with a great number of magni ficent snuff-boxes ; for Lord Petersham had perhaps the finest collection in England, and was supposed to have a fresh box for every day in the year. I heard bim, on the occasion of a delightful old light-blue Sevres box he was using being admired, say, in his lisping way— "Yes, it is a nice summer be; but would not do tor winter wear." In this museum there were also innumerable canes of very great kind drinogf itihspat; value. The Viscount was likewise a great Maecenas among the tailors, and a particular kind of groat - coat, when I was a young man, was called a Petersham. In person, Lord Petersham was tall and handsome, and possessed a particu larly winning smile. He very much resembled the picture of Henry IV. of France, and frequently wore a dress not un like that of the celebrated monarch. His carriages were unique of their kind : they were entirely brown, with brown horses and harness. The groom, a tall youth, was dressed k b Lord Peter shamin a long brown coat reaching to his heels, and a glazed hat with a large cockade. It is said that Lord Petersham's devotion to brown was caused by his having been despe rately never ventured out of doors tillmanners inlnlovae,idwitiiothn toa hviesarnoithbbeceraesupcteiofekuneltr7,:iiitdth:as, nam e. but in spite of his little foibles, Lord Petersham was a thorough gentleman, and was beloved by all who knew were decidedly affected, him.— Captain Gronou s Anecdotes.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this biil, and the con sideration of the clauses occupied the remainder of the sitting. IRELAND. DUBLIN, July 2. Mr. W. Smith O'Brien, having recently returned from Poland, was requested by a number of gentle men of different denominations to deliver a lecture on that country, and its present struggle for inde pendence. He readily complied with the requisi tion, and the lecture was delivered yesterday even ing, in the round room of the Rotunda, which was crowded greatly in every part. It was feared by some that he would mix up the case of Ireland with the discussion, which would cause dissension, and in jure the cause of Puland. He promised to abstain from doing so, and kept his word. The chair was occupied by Mr. P. P. M'Swiny, town councillor. Mr. Smith O'Brien was received with unbounded enthusiasm, many of the audience waving their hats and handkerchiefs. He said was proud to hear from those cheers that after to long an ab sence the feelings of the Dublin peDpie were the same towards him as they had been is former times. Much of the lecture was cccupied wi,h a review of the history of Poland and its former efforts to effect its emancipation. When in Poland Mr. Smith O'Brien learnt that the local agents of the British Government speak of the Poles as revolutionists, and an intelli gent Russian officer, with whom he had a long con versation, took it for granted from all the evidence which had fallen under his observation that the Eng lish Government are favourable to Russia rather than to Poland. Before he arrived at Cracow he was disposed to believe that Austria, from motives of policy, was adopting a strict neutrality between the contending parties; but he found, on the con trary, that all the agencies which she can employ, without openly espousing the cause of Russia, are set to work to assist the Russians and to injure the Poles. Persons coming to Cracow and the principal towns of Galicia with a view to crofts the frontier are freqnently seized by the police and lodged in prison, even though they may be duly furnished with passports. Tee Austrian police, who are said to be in the pay of Russia, are ever on the watch to seize arms intended for the use of the insurgents, so that not more than one out of every three muskets that are purchased abroad for their use ever reach them. The lecturer said that he entertained hopes of the ultimate success of the Poles, even if left to them selves. I3y keeping to the system of guerilla war fare, and aided by the shelter of their numerous forests, they will succeed if they can keep up the national enthusiasm. He related instances of Rus sian cruelty and brutality, and made an earnest appeal to Irishmen to aid the Poles in their noble struggle to cast off the Russian yoke, He would not advise any young Irishmen to go out to Poland to fight, unless he might have an opportunity of doing it under the protection of France. If his age were 25, instead of 59, he would certainly have made a campaign in Poland before his return to Ireland ; and if any young man who could com mand a sufficient amount of money to defray his own expenses, and could endure privation, were anxious to go to the aid of the Poles, he would not dissuade him, even if he were his own son. He should, however, know something of the German, French, or Polish language. The lecturer put his peroration in the mouth of some future citizen of emancipated and independent Poland, whom he re presented as saying,---" When we were in the last extremity of despair, when we were made the sport of diplomacy by the statesmen of Europe, when we received from mighty and wealthy nations nothing oeyond barren expressions of admiration and of sym pathy, we learnt that there was an island in the West, the inhabitants of which were among the first of the nations of the earth, who stood forth and pro claimed that nothing less than the entire independ ence of Poland ought to satisfy the conscience of Europe, upon which, the successive partitions of our country have weighed like the remorse which follows a crime; and the inhabitants of that island, at a moment when they were themselves suffering many calamities, tendered to us such assistance as they could afford. The rich man gave according to his wealth, and the poor man gave aecording to his poverty, but all gave something for the redemption of Poland. Blessed be the men of Ireland ! Blessed be that land of saints ! Blessed be that land of heroes! My countrymen, if you desire to earn the gratitude awl blessings of a sensitive and heroic race; if you desire to win eternal renown for your- selves and for your country; if you desire to per form a sacred duty which shall be acceptable to your consciences and to your God, come forward ❑ow in support of oppressed Poland, and, imitating the custom of our ancestors, let the cry be, Ireland to the rescue ! Ireland to the rescue of Poland r" Professor Kay.Anagh read a letter from Archbishop Cullen, expressing sympathy with the Poles, regret ting his inability toattend the lecture, and promising his mite should a subscription be opened in aid of the heroic and suffering Poles. Mr. Dillon,barrister, ono of the "men of '48," in moving S vote of thanks to Mr. S. O'Brien, expressed his regret that Ireland could not send a division of 10,000 men to aid the Poles, who on the plains of Poland could test the merits of their national weapon the pike. There seemed to be magic in the last word for some of the audience, for it excited their enthusiasm to the highest pitch. Mr. Crane, a former lieutenant in the Pope's Irish Brigade, seconded the motion. Mr. J. O'Donnell, of Limerick, moved that committees be formed in the towns of Ireland, and that the ladies should be solicited to give their aid, following the example of Mrs. Wilde, who was on the plat form; and whose presence was hailed with loud ap plause. Professor Hennessy, of the Catholic Univer sity, brother to the hon. member for King's County, attempted to address the meeting, but he could not get a hearing. There were loud cries from the audi ence of " Illuminations !" and, although Mr. Hen nessy endeavoured by gestures to gain a hearing, the groaning, and hissing, and shouting of the word " Illuminations !" continued, so that he could not speak. The Processor, finding he would not be heard, resumed his seat, andthe people cheered with renewed vigour at their triumph. A committee was proposed, which included the names of Archbishop Cullen, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, The O'Donoghue, M.P., Mr. P. Hennessy, M.P., Mr. D. C. Heron, Q.C., Mr. J. B. Dillon, and Mr. Gre g ory Martin. The meeting was addressed by Mr. W. Burke, Professor O'Sullivan, Mr. Devitt, and Mr. F. Morgan, and, after voting thanks to the chairman, the vast assembly dispersed.

THE YELVERTON CASE.—This case was set down for bearing in the House of Lords for Tuesday last, but it is doubtful if it will come before cleir lordships this session. Mr. Thelwall, of Hull, who recovered a verdiot against Major Yelverton in Ireland for Ors. Yelverton's mainte nance, is taking proceedings agailst the major in iEngland to enforce the payment in the English courts. Federal Cruisers and Confederate Prizes, A writer in the 7'imes says :—The Confederate merchant steamship Margaret and Jessie, formerly the British ship the Douglas, bat now owned in Charleston, and commanded by Captain Wilson, of the Emily St. Pierre, left that port on Wednesday, the 27th of May le a : ) . with a cargo of cotton and sixteen or eighteen passeag,ars, and having succeeded in eluding the vigilance of . the blockading squadron arrived on the Saturday following off the Island of Eleuthera, one of the Bahama Islands. In order that t he subsequen t events which occurred may be clearly understood, it is necessary to explain that the Island of Eleuthera is one of the largest of the Bahama group; it is from 60 to 70 miles long, running from east to west, with an average width of from two to six miles, The extent of the north side of the island is washed by the broad Atlantic, and it is considered a very wild and dangerous shore. Being one of the most fertile of the Bahama Islands, it is thickly populated, and has large and valuable fruit plantations, where large quantities of pine apples are annually exported to England. It was on the north side of this island of Eleuthera that the Margaret and Jessie was on Saturday morning, and about 10 o'clock, the land being dis tant about 25 miles, a steamship was observed, , which immediately gave chase. An animated pur suit now commenced, but the Margaret and Jessie being a very fast vessel the pursuing ship could approach no nearer than four or five miles, until, about 12 o'clock, the land was ahead of the Mar garet and Jessie about the same distance. Ttie first shot was now fired, but it fell short, and both vessels held on at full speed for the land, the cruiser firing shot after shot, shell after shell, in quick succession. Both vessels soon arrived within the distance of three miles from the land ; but British territory has long since in this part of the world ceased to afford any protection against acts of aggression from United States naval officers, and the war vessel continued to pour in shot and shell, interspGrepd with grape and canister, as she neared the Margaret and Jessie, which she was now enabled to do, as the latter vessel had sought the protection of the land, at, a distance of 300 yards, and could get no nearer. The cruiser had approached to a distance of withie 1,000 yards from the shore, and it was now observed that the American ensi g n was flying at her main peak, sod from this position did she continue to hurl a continuous storm of missiles on her prey. Among the passengers on board the Margaret and Jessiew ere two French ladies who bravely stood on the deck exposed to this tremendous fire. Capt. Wilson, of whose courage it is unnecessary to speak, from the moment his vessel was under fire placed him self on the paddle box, and with the utmost cool ness gave his orders. Finding that the intention of the parties on board the cruiser was to destroy his vessel—in doing which they dared not if they murdered those on board of her—the ladies were urged to take refuge in the cabin. Captain Wilson directed the course of the vessel to be changed to the west in order that she might coast along the land. This was done, and she continued to skirt the land at a distance at no time exceeding 400 yards, so neer in fact that she took the bottom on several occasions. No sooner was it observed on board the cruiser that the Margaret and Jess -7 .e had changed her course and was coasting, than her course was alsochanged, and she was run along abreast of the land, and at a distance varying from 500 to 1,000 yards from the beach, and now was enacted one of the most un justifiable outrages to neutral' rights—the most barefaced violation of territorial jurisdiction,coupled with the most murderous intent, that the annals of civilised warfare has ever chronicled. For more than an hour and a half did this vessel of war of the United States, at a distance of not more than 1,000 yards from the shore, and within British territory, continue to pour broadside after broadside of round shot, shell, grape, and canister at a defenceless mer chant ship crowded with passengers and crew, whose escape was im possible, and while she was from time to time grounding upon the shore of neu tral territory. Fortunately, however, for the lives of these o❑ board the Margaret and Jessie the practice from the war vessel was exceedingly bad, and although showers of grape and canister fell like hail around the ship, no round shot or shell struck her, but most of them passed over and were observed to strike and explode upon the land among the plan tations, creating clouds of dust, with fragments of stone and branches of trees intermingled, until about half past 3 o'clock an 8-inch spherical shell struck the ship on her starboard side, and passed through into ber boiler, upon which she filled with 'ter, and sunk not 300 yards from the beach. The vessel had sunk near a point of land called James Point, and here there is a town called James Cestern, which extends across the island, the prin cipal residents being farm labourers and fishermen. The shot thrown from the cruiser fell thickly around the dwellinghouses, destroying the woods and plan tations in the neighbourhood, and forcing the people to seek protection at the base of an adjacent hill which fortunately intervened while one shot passed over the island and fell within a few yards of two fishermen who were in their boat near the shore, to their no little dismay. The standing wood in that neighbourhood is the most conclusive evidence of the ravages done by the shot and shell, fragments of which have been picked up and have been taken to Nassau. No sooner was it observed by the parties on board the war vessel that the Margaret and Jessie had been sunk, than her course was changed seaward ;' in a few minutes she was brought to anchor, and preparations were made to send off boats. Seeing this, and remembering the fate of the Blanche, the passengers made all haste to quit the vessel and get to the shore, which was barely done when two armed boats were seen approaching, only eight minutes elapsing from the time they left the side of their ship until they were under the stern of the wreck. The mate was at this time just leaving for the shore, and in answer to an inquiry from him " What ship is that an officer in the boat, who was in the uniform of the United States' Navy, answered " The United States' ship Savannah." This was a palpable falsehood, as she was a steam paddlewheel vessel, brig-rigged, with what is known in America as a " walking beam " above deck, and there is no vessel of that class in the United States' Navy named the Savannah. It is, however, now known that the ship was the Rhode Island, the same which only a few weeks previously chased a British ship, the Syrius, and fired upon her within British waters within sight of the city of Nassau. The passengers and crew of the Margaret and Jessie remained exposed throughout the whole of the night upon the beach, and afterwards taken to Nassau in wrecking vessels. The Bahama wreckers having succeeded in stopping the shot hole in the ship's side, they got her off and carried her to Nassau, where they have instituted an Ad miralty suit for salvage services. It is rumoured in Nassau that the captain of the Rhode Island has sent a communication to the United States Consul there, in which he states that he was at no time within four miles from the land when firing at the Margaret and Jessie ; but ' there is one incontrovertible fact which will give the lie to this assertion, and that is, that after a shot from the ' had sunk the Margaret an:: Jessie thenicertuoisaeurcphroor: ceeded some distance coastnd then ca and the charts of the will conclusively estab * lish thkA at a distance of evenyoann • coast there is no soundings. ekeemi"lebutn' • itself will scarcely persuade ocean.adeßritish public th at - a ship could anch or in the The Price of Gold. with the English Mint exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling.

A meeting of this institution was held yesterday, at its house, John street, Adelphi,—Thomas Chap man, Esq., F.R.S,, V.P.,:in the chair. There were also present Sir E. Perrott, Bart., V.P., A. Boete feur, Esq.. Col. Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex ; J. Griffith, Esq. ; Captain Ward, RN., Inspector of Lifeboats of the Institution; and Richard Lewis, the secretary. A reward of £l2 was voted to the crew of the Ipswich lifeboat of the institution, stationed at Thorpe, Suffolk, for putting off at midnight on the 11th ult., and rescuing with great difficulty the crew of six men from the brig Florence Nightingale, of London, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was totally wrecked on Sizewoll Bank, on the Suffolk coast. While engaged in the rescue of the ship wrecked men a heavy sea struck the lifeboat and carried away one of her brave crew, but he fortu nately regained the boat by means of his lifebelt and a li ne . William Alexander, the gallant coxswain, had, on several occasions, in this and another life boat, been off to save life under very perilous cir cumstances. The institution voted to him yester day its silver medal, in testimony of his valuable services as coxswain of the Thorpe lifeboat. Th e cost of this lifeboat was presented, about 12 months ago, to the National Lifeboat Institution by the residents of Ipswich. She has since then been the the means of rescuing two shipwrecked crews from an inevitable death, besides rendering important services on one or two occasions to vessels in dis- tress during stormy weather. A reward of £4 10s. was also voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat at St. Ives, Cornwall, for going off and saving the crew of four men from the schooner Azores, of Falmouth, which, during a heavy gale of wind, had stranded and afterwards sunk at the entrance of the harbour of St. Ives, on the 12th ult. The cost of this and of three other lifeboats was presented to the institution by a bate volent lady who has withheld her name. A reward was likewise granted to the crew of the ttrewat of the instit illavocolyu, near Holy head, for going off and rendering important services to the barque Diadem, of St. John's, New Bruns wick, which, during foggy weather, was observed in a disabled condition off that place on the night of the 27th ult, The lifeboat landed four paseengers prom the vessel. _ _ A reward was also given to the crew of the New Brighten tubular lifeboat belonging to the society, for putting off and rescuing the crew of six men from the schooner Vigilant, of Kirkcaldy, which was totally wrecked during a strong wind on Taylor's Bank. near Liverpool, on the 27th ult. The life boat was towed to windward of the wreck by the steam-tug Blazer, and remained by the vessel some hours to see if she would float off or not, before the crew were taken off. Before the lifeboat had pro ceeded far on her return, the vessel was seen to cap size and become a total wreck. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on Tel. lum, were voted to Mr. John Long, agent for Lloyd's at Lymington, Hampshire ; to Mr. Wil liam Webb, and Mr. James Webb, pilots ; and £lO to be divided between the ten pilots and three other men in acknowledgment of their gallant and per• severing conduct in their pilot-boat in rescuing, at considerable risk of life, the crew of six men from the brig Alabama of Gloucester, which, during a very heavy gale of wind, was totally wrecked on the middle of the Shingles while running through the Needles passage on her way to Southampton. Upon nearing the distressed vessel the sailors found it impossible to rescue the crew owing to the fearful sea, which ran so high as to break over the vessel's maintop, completely obscuring the poor men in the rigging, who were shouting for help and seemed frantic with despair. The crew of the pilot-boat, however, determined not to leave them, and stood off and on all night until the weather had some what moderated, when they succeeded, with great difficulty, in snatching the six men from an in evitable death. It was reported that during the past month a new lifeboat and transporting carriage had been for warded to Buds Haven, on the Cornish coast. The cost of the same and of the new lifeboat-house, amounting altogether to £6OO, had been munifi cently presented to the institution by the surviving children of the late R. T. Garden, Esq., of River Lyons, Ireland, as a memorial of their mother, the late Mrs. Elizabeth Moore Garden. The South Western Railway Company had, as usual, liberally given a free conveyance to the lifeboat and carriage to Bideford. It was also reported that a lady resident in Exe ter had forwarded the institution a munificent dona tion of £lOO. The late Dowager Lady Bunbury had also left the institution £lOO ; and the late Miss Tin gcombe, of St. Germans, had likewise bequeathed the society a legacy of £lO. A report was read from Capt. Ward, R.N., the inspector of lifeboats of the institution, on his recent tour of inspection of the Irish lifeboats. He found them generally in excellent order. It was stated that all the lifeboats on the Irish coast are now under the management of the institution, and that it had placed on every station a new lifeboat. Altogether the Irish lifeboat stations had cost the institution nearly £8,500. Payments amounting to about 11,600 were ordered to be made to meet the expenses of the numerous lifeboats of the institution. The com mittee earnestly appealed to the public for continued support to enable them to meet the very large and increasing expenses on the 125 lifeboats of the in stitution. It was stetted that each lifeboat establish ment required about £5O a year to keep it in a state of thorough efficiency. The proceedings then terminated. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

One of the labourers while at work, struck his pick on to an earthen jar, which broke, and cut of which rolled several pieces of gold. The other workmen hearing the metallic sound, rushed round the spot, probably to obtain a share of the treasure, when the latter cried out " Stop I Form a ring round me, and then let no one move. The others obeyed ; he then quietly picked up all the pieces of gold, which he placed in his hat, and, taking up the broken jar which contained the re mainder, he stood in the midst of the circle, and said, " Now call a sergent-de-ville to accompany me to the 'nearebt police-office, where I will deposit the money." This was done, and the prize was found to consist of 978 gold louis- d'or of 21 livres each, bearing the effigies of Louis X.V. and XVI., the whole amounting to more than 23,000 f. The whole was forwarded to the Prefecture of Police, where it will remain durtng the inquiry to discover the legitimate owners of the property. It is only after that has been done that the share, attributed by law to the finder of a treasure, will be paid to the lucky workman. The Czas of Cracow contains the following " The position of the peasants in Podolia and Volhynia has lately undergone a great change, so that they are now favourable to the insurgents. The peasants are indignan against the Russians, who ate malting levies en masse in order to form an army of reserve, the Ituperihl troops being no longer sufficient to contend against `those bands of brigands,' as the Poles arc designated in the Rus -dam bulletins." . • . • NAIPP THE POLISH INSURRECTIO CRACOW, JULY 2.

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, the coroner, opened an inquest at the Lord Wellington, Univer sity-street, on the body of a man unknown, who was found lying on the pavement in Gower-street, on the night of Saturday last, with his skull and ribs fractured, his teeth knocked out, and other frightful injuries. Walter Gibbs deposed that he resided at 4, Gower-mews. Shortly before one o'clock on the morning of Sunday last he was going home, when he saw a man he believed to be deceased fall and 6 o down rB 7) the steps of one of the houses the ee pavement believed 8 in Gower - street. He lay on ap peared to be insensible or very drunk. He obtained the assistance of a policeman and. a stretcher, and the man was conveyed to the station-house, As at eight o'clock on the Sunday morning he still re , mained insensible, he was then taken to University CollugA Hospital. Mr. Sidney Ringer, resident surgeon, said de ceased was brought to the hospital about eight o'clock on Sunday morning insensible, and evi dently labouring under some injury to the brain. He was much disfigured. His front teeth had been knocked out, his gums broken, and there was a con tusion and abrasion of the skin of the right temple and over the right eye, and a contusion also behind the left ear and a large cut under the chin. The right arm was bruised, and there was also a severe bruise in the inner part of the left leg behind. He died the same evening. On a post-mortem examination and shaving the bead he discovered a contusion of the scalp and a fracture of the skull — a star fracture, extending for five inches, both through the frontal and temporal bones; and there was also a fracture of the sixth rib near the cartil age. It was guite impossible that the deceased could have received all these injuries by the fall down the steps described by the first witness. It was very doubtful whether a series of falls could have pro duced such injuries. The injuries appeared to be rather the result of violence towards the deceased man. The cause of death was effusion of blood on the brain, corresponding internally with the out ward fracture of the skull. The Coroner said it was almost impossible that the man could have fallen on that part of the head which was the seat of the fracture. Nor could the fearful injury on the inside of the left knee have been connected with the fracture of the skull, the broken ribs, and the teeth being knocked down the poor man's throat. The fearful injuries tended to the conclusion that the deceased had been the victim of some personal violence. He should, therefore, suggest an adjournment, in order, if possible, to enable the police to ascertain the deceased's identity, and make inquiries as to where he was on the Satur day night.
