MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 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 di,count 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 . • • • • 2469,743 ' Seven Day and . other Bills .. • • 55,9 98 9 6 3 06 1 Increase ..

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 .turtherance 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 211 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 st balance of £204,375, out of which it was recom mended to pay a dividend of £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 leaves to-morrow with the India and China mails is £100,743. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's it telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 55c. Inanimate.

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 dependent on the value of the wine." Messrs.

June THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1863, LAW INTELLIGENCE—TIA Day. COURT OF DIVORCE (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) GURNEY 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 fits.; 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. See 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 tho respondent a short time ago, and saw him go into an hotel with the last wit ness in Perry-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—.3ARING 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 Irom the gentleman, and infor mation being given to Sergeant Cole, 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 LEATING.—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 an only her chemise. A policeman came up when she gave him an account of the assault upon her. 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 nabit 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 ho 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.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this biil, and the con si'eration 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 ley a number of gentle men of different denominafions 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 pact. It was feared by some that be would mix up the case of Ireland with the discussion, which would cause dissension, and in jure the cause of Poland. 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 he was proud to hear from those cheers that after so long an ab sence the feelings of the Dublin people were the same towards him as they had been in former times. Much of the lecture was (coupled with 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 revoiutionists, 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 cross the frontier are frequently seized by the police and lodged in prison, even though they may be duly furnished with passports. The Austrian police, who are said to bs in the pay of Russia, aro 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. By keeping to the s 3 stem 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 ender 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 men 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 beyond barren expressions of admiration and of sym pathy, we learnt that there was an island in the West, the inesaasseenes of which were among the first of the nations of the earth, ate- ete o d forth and !..- 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 according 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 and 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 now 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!'" Professor Key Jnagh reed a letter from Archbishop Cullen, expressing sympathy with the Poles, regret ting his inability to attend the lecture, and promising his mite should a subscription be opened in aid of the heroic and suffering Poles. Mr. Dil Lou, barrister, one of the "men of '48," in moving a 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 " Iliuminationa!" continued, so that he could not speak. The Professor, 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. Gregory 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 YELYERTON 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 ;heir lordships this session. Mr. Thelwall, of Hull, who recovered a verdict against Yelvertun in Inland for Alt's. Yelverton's mainte nance, is taking proceedings against the major in ',Engl and to enforce the payment in the Engliih court*. derate Prizes, " writer in the Times says : —The Confederate ' , in Margaret and Jessie, formerly merchant steams—. the British snip the Dou,1 1 _" 8 , but now owned in Charleston, and commanded by a: gain Wilson, of the Emily St. Pierre, left th yort on Wednesday, the 27th of May last, with a cargo of cotton and sixteen or eighteen passengers, and having succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the blockading squadron arrived on the Saturday following eft' the Island of Eleuthera, one of the B:lisma Islands. In order that the subscquen t events which occurred may bo clearly understood, it is necessary to explain that the Island of Eh inhere is one of the largest of the Bahama group; it is fram 60 to 70 miles long, running from east to west, with an average width of from two to siN miles, The extent of the north side of the island is washed by the broad Atlentie, 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. Tne 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, interspersed with grape and canister, as she neared the Margaret and Jessie, which she was now enabled to de, 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 within 1,000 yards from the shore, and it was now observed that the American ensign was flying at her main peak, and from this position did she continue to hurl a continuous storm of missiles on her prey. Among the passengers on board the Margaret and Jeesiewere 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 patties on board the cruiser was to destroy his vessel—in doing which they cared 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 et a distance at no time exceeding 400 yards, so near in fact that she took the bottom on several occasions. No sooner was it observed on board the cruiser that the Margaret and Jessie 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 impossible, and while she was from time to time grounding upon the shore of neu- tral territory. Fortunately, however, for the lives of those on board the Margaret and Jessie the practice from the V COOGI vr ao c.t...t.GUitigly Ude, 1111 U. alLiivu6LL showers of grape and canister fell like hail around the ship, no round shot cr 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 bn her starboard side, and passed through into her boiler, upon which she filled with water, 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 iy 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 'Wilted States' ship Savannah." This was a palpab.e 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 crow 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 rumeured in Nassau that the captain of the Rhode blend 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 had sunk the Margaret an:.: Jessie the cruiser pro ceeded some distance out and then came to a nchor, "buncombe'' and the charts of the coast will conclusively estab lish that at a distance of event ne mile from th e coast there is no soundings. nkee itself will scarcely persuade the British public that a ship could anchor in the ocean.

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 met 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 the show of English produce was very small. Both grind ing 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.

PHILLIMORE —lf it be a sign of bul taste, says the Critic, that Thackeray sbould 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 mere tedious to mention, should be welcomed to the homes of high and low, to teach godliness, and mauli• nese, and goodwill towards men , and that Tennyson should wear the Laureate's wreath—then we differ from Mr. Phillimore in his notion of taste. A FAMOUS LEADER OF FASHION.-4 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 beautiful 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 snub-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 him, on the occasion of a delightful old light-blue Sevres box ho was using being admired, say, in his lisping way— " Yes, it is a nice summer box, but would not do for winter wear." In this museum there were also innumerable canes of very great value. The Viscount was likewise a great Maecenas among the tailors, and a particular kind of great-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 in a long brown coat reaching to his heels, and a glazed hat with a large cock ade. It is said that Lord Petersham's d evo tion to brown was caused b y his havin g been despe ratelyinlnlovaeldivtiiothn to his n ve other ry beautiful wid-,w bearing th a t eccentricities, Lord Peter sham name. never ventured out of doors till 6 p.m. Ills manners were decidedly affected, and he spoke with a kind of lisp; • but in spite of his little foibles, Lord Peterehatu was a thorough gentleman, and was beloved by all who knew him.— Captain Orono:Vs Anecdotes.

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. Bocte feur, Eq.. Col. Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex ; J. Griffith, Esq.; Captai❑ Ward, R.N., Inspector of Lfcboats of the Institution; and Richard Lewis, the sca'efarj: A reward of was voted to the crew of thA Ipswich lifeboat of thd .41stituticn, stationed at Thorpe, Suffolk, for putting midnight on the 11th ult., and rescuing wit h great difficulty the crew of six men from the brig FiOVCTICC Nightingale, of London, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was totally wrecked on Sizewell 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, nut he fortu nately regained the boat by means of his lifebelt and a line. William Alexander, the gallant coxswain, had, on several occasions, in this and another life boat, been off tc save life under very perilous cir cumstancee. The institution voted to him yester day its silver medal, in testimony of his valuable services as coxswain of the Thorpe lifeboat. The cost of this lifeboat was presented, about 12 months ago, to the National Lifeboat Institution by th e residents of Ipswich, She has since then been th e 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 bene volent lady who has withheld her name. A reward was likewise granted to the crew of the lifeboat of the institution at Rhoscolyn, 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 passengers from the vessel. A reward was also given to the crew of the New Brighton 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 vel 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 ga.lant and per severing conduct in their pilot-boat it 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 Bade 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 la. a. Ilot • 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 Banbury 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 0:1 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 .1,1,600 were ordered to be made to meet the expanses of the numerous lifeboats of the institution. l'be com mittee earnestly appealed to the public tor continued support to enable them to meet the vry large And increasing expenses on the 125 lifeboats of the ite stitution. It was stated 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 out 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 nearest 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 24 livres each, bearing the effigies of Louis XV. 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 Voihynia has lately undergone a great change, so that they are now favourable to the insurgents. The peasants aro indignan against the Russians, who ate making levies en masse in order to form an army of reserve, the Imperial troops being no longer sufficient to contend against those bands of brigands,' as the Poles are designated in the Rus• sian bulletins." t A =Wm COND EDITION.

Yesterei,gy afternoon Dr. Lankester, the coroner, opened an inquest at the Lord Wellington, Univer sity-street, ou 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 an d 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 down the steps of one of the houses (he believed 86 or 87) in Gower-street. He lay on the pavement and 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 Univeesity Colic ge 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 /he skin of the right temple and over the right eye, and a contusion also behind the left ear and a large cut under the ci in. 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 head 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 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 okull, 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. The jury concurred, and the inquest was ad ourned for a week. Foreign Mail Packet List,. MAILS DUE. Aur.ralia and Mauritius, via Southamp ton.. ..... July 19. d st . B e via Marseilles .........

A few days ago, a sailor, in taking a walk out the inverkip•road, caught a hedgehog of rather bulky dimensions, and, rolling it into his napkin, he carried it to Mr. John smith's boarding-house, where he 'edged, and handed the napkin and its contents to Mrs. Smith, telling and seeing the given birth her it was a present he had brought her. She was not a little startled on opening the naPk in affrighted beast roll out upon tho floor and scamper o ff. In a short time it WAS found that the hedgehog had e on _ alit VOID ; verted a piece of cloth into a couch or nest, and to two cubs.
