CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, In the general discount market the rate is fully equal to the minimum charged by the Bank of England authorities, and no business has been ne gotiated under 4 per cent. The great activity dis played in all quarters for money has been oc casioned by circumstances which, though of a temporary character, were looked forward to for some time past, and have therefore influenced the market for a considerable period. Their effect, however, being now direct, the consequence has been to absorb much of the capital at the disposal of the Joint Stock and private establishments, which, i❑ their turn, having to borrow money, are unable to discount even first class bills under the official minimum. At the Bank of England the enquiries for accommodation continue numerous, and the Gazette return to appear to-morrow night will no doubt reveal an excessive augmentation of this description of business, lhe revenue collections which are now in active progress, and the with drawal of the loans by the Indian Council, are largely contributing to the present scarcity of money, and as these will be completed about the end of the week, a trifling relief may then be ex perienced. About £40,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. - There was no alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. With reference to the Columbian Loan, we are informed that Earl Russell has sanctioned the appointment of her Majesty's Charge d'Affairs at Bogata, if agreeable to all parties, to act as agent for a time for the rec2ipt and transmission of the revenues to be held at the disposal of the bond holders. The project of the Sonthsea Pier Hotel Company has proved a success. Already upwards of £lO,OOO of the proposed capital has been subscribed for, and every day brings fresh applications for allotment. The scheme is a very good one, and from the commanding position of the hotel a con stant succession of visitors will be certain. _ Applications for shires in the London Tavern Company are not be received after the 2d inst. The subscription list of the Prince of Wales Hotel Company is to be closed on the 3d proximo for London, and on the 6th for the provincial towns. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 85c. —Heavy. The English Stock Market exhibits no change from the quotations of last evening. Everything, in fact, is now combining to keep English securi ties inactive, speculation being again rife in the foreign department, and the settlement of the fort nightly account to-day preventing any great atten• tion being devoted to other business. Consols con tinue at 931 d for money, and at 931 1 for the ac count.

Brighton have declined ss. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, IN. ; Great Western, South Eastern, and one or two others remain at previous rates. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive at about previous prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in fair demand, and fully sustain former quotations. China and Japan realise 202 I.

TEE SCANDINAVIAN ALLIANCE. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 25. The following Note has been addressed by Baron Manderstrom, Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, to Baron N. Adelsvard, Swedish Ambassador in Paris : The important political affairs which, during the last few weeks, have agitated the European Cabinets, and engaged their whole attention, have caused facts which would not have failed to excite general attention at a less animated time to pass by almost unobserved. Among these is one to whichwe thinkit our duty to direct the serious consideration of the Government of his Majesty the Emperor of the French. It concerns, as may be easily unders'ood, the new phase upon which the Danish question has entered through the resolutions taken by the German Federal Diet. In consequence of these resolutions Denmark will soon receive a demand—if, indeed, it has not already been made—to withdraw within six weeks time the patent of March 30, 1863, under threat of a Federal execution in Holstein. We do not yet know the resolution which Den mark will take, but it appears to us that it cannot be doubted. Things have arrived at a point at which foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Denmark becomes really unendur able. The most extreme measures would be preferable to an unjustifiable submission, in which the Danish people will not acquiesce. We may, therefore, suppose that the Danish Government will reply that by the patent of March 30, 1863, Denmark had conceded to Holstein all the rights which the Federal Diet has demanded for that duchy. Denmark there fore fulfilled all her duties as a Federal member, since by this patent the mutual relations of the different parts of the I monarchy are established in such a manner that the legis lation and taxation in other parts of the kingdom become independent of that which will be adopted in Holstein and Lauenberg. The Danish Government will ever be ready to carry into execution the resolution passed in Frankfort relative to the internal administration of these duchies. Every cause as well as every pretext for a Federal execution being, how ever, removed by this declaration, as also by the patent of the 30th March, the Danish Government can only regard such proceeding as having an object entirely apart from the competency of the German Diet, and must therefore con sider it a hostile attack, which it is her duty to oppose by all the means at her disposal. In case this should be the reply of the Danish Govern ment, which, as I have already said, appears most probable, it will not be denied that it is based upon facts. The demand of the Federal Dibt for a common eonstitu- tion for the whole monarchy is untenable, because it is the German Diet itself, and the Holstein Estates, which have rendered such an arrangement impossible. As regards the Duchy of Schleswig, it is a fact that the Danish Govern ment, after Schleswig's administrative separation from Holstein, decided to extend the liberties of this province, and that it never took any steps to i ncor p ora t e it w ith th e kingdom. In any case, this is a question with reference to which the Federal Diet is entirely incompetent, as regards the claims which, in common with Austria and Prussia it considers itself entitled to make relative to the negotiations of 1851 and 1852. In the meanwhile, the Diet's ill-concealed desire to mix itself up in this question causes the danger of the situation, which we can only regard as highly critical, and approach ing a crisis which would unavoidably endanger the peace of the North, and very likely the whole of Europe. The Government of the King has long avoided a return to this question, but, believing itself to be unable any longer to remain silent, it considers it to be its duty to submit the state of affairs for examination to the Cabinets of Paris and London, It appears to us that it can scarcely be the wish of those Cabinets, particularly in the present state of the negotia tions relative to Poland, that a war should break ouc in the North during the present year. Such an event, however, might happen within a few weeks, should Denmark not meet with such support from those Cabinets as would protect her against the aggressive measures of Germany. We will not take upon ourselves to propose the means by which such a contingency might be averted. We believe, however, that we have a right to express our opinion upon this question. We have this right, first, on account of the sincere feelings of friendship which bind us to the two Go vernments to whom we address ourselves ; and, secondly, because of the serious consequences which might result from a contest from which the force of circumstances could alone prevent us from holding aloof, since our dearest inte rests would not allow us calmly to see our neighbours op pressed under pretexts which, at a late period, might en danger our own independence. I request you to read this despatch to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and should he desire a copy of it I authorise you to leave one with him. (Signed) MANDERSTROM. A Good Word for Cricketting. Parallel with the quickened intellectual life in our public schools has run the conscious, systematic cul ture of the physical powers by means of games, and above all of cricket. We have muscular pmdagogy, as well as " muscular Christianity ;" and the model schoolmaster of the present day is expected to take a deep interest in the games of his scholars, and it is well if he is a good "bat" as well as a good scholar. In this direction, also, the Arnold school has taken a decided lead. Dr. Arnold himself recognised the groat importance of a game which establishes more perfectly than any other the mutual correspondence and simultaneous action of eye and hand; which calls upon the player for the exercise, in rapid suc cession, of the most varied physical and moral quali ties—of courage and prudence, of skill in avoiding and hardiness in enduring pain—of ever ready, watchful patience in activity, and the power of passing in a moment to the intensest and most rapid action—of hopeful energy in the midst of discou ragement, and moderation in the prospect of victory. It is no slight honour and no small blessing to us as a nation that such a game should be traditional in our schools. It is not on the surface an attrac- tive game. Beginners get little from it that can well be called amusement. It is an earnest, serious game, which suits neither the powers nor the taste of the weakling or the tiller—a game of which none but English boys can ever feel the charms. It is no injustice, we think, to say that the majority even of English boys require to be "kept up" to their cricket by a certain amount of compulsion on the part of their seniors, and that many a now de voted cricketer has been forced through the rudi ments of the game by a pressure almost as strong as that under which he learned his Latin syntax. It would be sad indeed if the general esteem in which this incomparable game is held should be forfeited, or even lessened, by the extravagance of those who indulge in it to excess. There is a dan ger of this. Instead of the noblest of pastimes, many a boy is seduced, by the rapid and brilliant reputa- tion to be gained by eminence in the cricket-field, into making it his sole pursuit. And the conse quence is that not boys only, but men, once capable of better things, may be seen wandering from match to match throughout the country, whose whole dis course is of "legs" and "byes," of "smacking," " leather-hunting," and " collaring of balls"—who are only in their Proper place at "Lords" or the Kennington Oval. The fashionable world of Lon don have much to answer for under this head. We need only pass from a " speech-day" at Eton and Harrow to the annual cricket match between these two schools at Lord's—and compare the apathetic, listless commendations bestowed on the prizemen at the former with the rapturous applause and de• lightful shouts of " Well hit," or'; well bowled" With which rank and beauty greet the foremost players at the latter----to understand the force with which the ambitious youth is dragged from the path of knowledge and led to spend ttle whole force of mind and body on a game. Professional players may be necessary as well as dancing -masters, and these must make cricket the main businee of their lives; but when this is done by those who have, or might have, the advan tages of school and College education, they are only so roach superior to dancing masters as cricket is better than dancing. OUR FARMERS AND SMALL BIRDS.—The farmers' case is infinitely Worse than the gardeners', because they had so much more extensive an interest in the life of the birds which have been destroyed. The best course for the farmer s now see ms to be, first to look across to the Anti podes, and see what sums English colonists are paying there tor pairs and dozms of those very birds which are got rid of here by bribing people to kill them. The appearance of cater pillars there has raised a cry for birds, to be carefully and extensively conveyed over sea, and liberally paid for. While 1 write an Australian newspaper arrives, bringing an ac count of eager purchases of small birds imported from England. A couple of blackbirds sold for £3 Bs.; and a single sparrow —the survivor of a lot of 100—actually fetched lie. If the members of our sparrow clubs stare and laugh at the news, it does not follow that they have the best of the argument. The colonial farmers have, in fact, a keener faculty for recognising their best friends than those they have left behind.—Onee a IT leek (published to •daY). THE GREAT EASTERN.—A meeting of the share holders in the Manchester district was held yesterday, when it was resolved to recommend that the leading share holders form among themselves a new company for the purchase of the shiP, and that all the existing proprietors who may desire to join the new company be invited to lb 80.

This was an action to recover £5 Is. 4d. for two dozen of wine and bottles supplied to the defendant, who was described as of 46, Princes -square, Bayswater. Mr. Beard, for the plaintiffs, stated that his clients were wine merchants of Mark-lane, and they sought to recover the present claim for wine supplied. Mr. Green, counsel for defendant—The wine was not supplied to my client but to the Algerian Cotton Company. Mr. Beard—l am willing to admit that in the order forwarded to my clients, the words "Algerian Cotton Com pany" are on the top, but the order is higned by defendant in his individual capacity and not as agent for any com pany. Ills honour—ls this a limited liability ccmpany ? Mr. Green—lt is. Air. Beard called Mr. Shepherd, one of the clerks employed by plaintiffs, who statsd that the wine was sent in to the defendant's order to the offices of the Algerian Cotton Company, 77, Gresham-street. Mr. Green here produced the invoice made out to the company. Witness—That was a mistake of the clerks. His Honour (to Mr. Green)—are you prepared to show that this is a limited liability company, duly incorporated ? Mr. Green — Unfortunately, I am not. Mr. Beard—l am instructed that the company is not yet formed. His Honour—lf the defendant had been in a position to show that this company was duly incorporated there would have been very strong evidence in his favour, but I am in clined to believe that defendant is the Algerian Cotton Company. A man may trade under any name, but he is liable for the debts contracted. It was very unwise of de fendant to let the case come into court. Plaintiff will have a verdict with cost. THE SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENT. The mammoth balloon remained safely moored n the ground attached to the Stafford-road Works of the Wolverhampton Company all Monday night, watched by Mr. Colwell and his assistants. The night was peacefully calm, and the morning broke without a breeze having risen. At five o'clock yesterday morning operations were resumed pre paratory to an ascent at seven if possible. To supply the deficiency occasioned by the leakage during the night and day about 12,000 feet of gas was turned in, and by seven o'clock Lord Wrot tesley arrived on the ground from Wrottesley Hall. Mr. Glaisher had passed the night at the residence of Mr. Proud, the engineer to the gas company, who lives on the spot; and so soon as his lordship arrived the instruments were attached to the customary board and affixed to the car. Io addition to the instruments which have been taken up at previous ascents, Mr. Glaisher had provided himself with a Herschel's actinometer, to test the force of the sun's rays; and a spectroscope to ob serve the lines of the spectrum. This last was the same instrument that was taken by Piozzi Smyth to the Peak of Teneriffe. By a quarter to eight o'clock everything being ready for the departure, the cable was slipped, and under the guidance of Mr. Coxswell the balloon rose steadily and gracefully from the ground. The adieus cheerfully waved and uttered from the car by Mr. Glaisher and his aeronaut were warmly responded to by Lord Wrottesley and the few other spec tatcrs who had reassembled at that early hour. The rise was not rapid, nor was the course fleet. The machine moved off in a north-easterly direc tion, and after remaining in sight about half an hour was seen rising fast, and moving in a some what southerly direction. A great deal of ballast was taken up, that the balloon might be kept for some time from rising too high, so that the cordage, which during the night had become saturated with moisture of the weight, perhaps of 3 cwt., might be dried in the sun before the machine attained an altitude at which, by freezing, the lines and cord age would become like so much rod iron. When the incumbrance of this moisture had been removed by the sun, and some of the ballast had been thrown out, it was hoped that a height of five miles might be attained, for the engineer of the gas works had supplied as light gas as was furnished when seven miles was reached. The direction taken was sup posed to be towards The Wash. Mr. Glaisher hopes to go up with Mr. Colwell in the same balloon at a public ascent, which is fixed to come off in tha city of York to-day (Wednesday), and we hear that he contemplates going up pro bably from the Crystal Palace grounds during No. vember and December next. WOLVERHAMPTON, Tuesday Evening. A very rough descent. At half past 10, six miles from Sleaford ; height, three and a half miles; tem perature, zero. Balloon torn. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GUILDHALL. ROBBERY BY A WAREHOUSEMAN'S PORTER.—Charles Allen, porter to Messrs. Sinclair, wholesale shirt and collar makers, was placed at the bar charged with robbing his employers. Mrs. Cotton, of the Lower-road, Islington, said she was informed by a costermonger that the prisoner could get her some shirts cheap. She saw him at a beershop close to her shop, and asked him to bring her half a dozen at the price mentioned. He brought her the articles, for which she paid him 95., and in a few days after she asked him if he could bring another half dozen of striped shirts and some fancy regattas. He said he would, but that he had some very nice white ones with him. She looked at them and finally bought three, for which she paid Os. A gentleman from the firm in Wood-street said the selling price to the trade was 2s. 4d. each for the striped shirts, and the white ones, 6s. 6d. Witness said she paid Is. 9d. each for the regatta shirts. Alderman Hale told the witness she must have known she was doing wrong in purchasing articles from a person like the prisoner without making the slightest inquiry. It was, in fact, aiding a thief in the disposal of stolen property. Another witness produced a box of shirt collars which the prisoner had left at her home, which the prosecutor identified as his property. Mr. W. B. Newland said he was a partner in the firm of Sinclair and Co., Wood-street, Cheapside. The prisoner was in their employ as porter, and had been so ever since he was taken from a ragged school some years ago. The property produced belonged to the firm. It had never been sold. The prisoner said he had purchased shirts of the firm on his own account, and therefore there was no certainty that he had not paid for the articles now in court. Alderman Hale—ls the prisoner allowed to purchase articles out of the warehouse ? Mr. Newland—To a very limited extent, and only for his personal use. He has occasionally bought a damaged shirt or two and received an invoice in the usual way, but nothing more. Alderman Hale—l consider it the high road to ruin for warehousemen to allow their servants to purchase articles of them on their own account. Mr. Newland—l believe there is nothing unusual in such a case. It would, he thought, be extremely hard for an employer to refuse to serve one of his servants with a shirt or two at the wholesale price when they required it. Of course it was bad if allowed to any extent, but there was a limit to every thing. Alderman Hale—Except to robbery, there is no limit to that. I know personally a very large house in Watling street that was entirely ruined through the practice of sell ing to their servants. The constable, who took the prisoner into custody asked for a remand, to afford time to trace some other property. Pr'soner—l plead guilty to the charge. Alderman Hale—You can do so if you please, but I shall remand you for a week. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 29.—A considerable amount of business has been done in yarns, chiefly in 40's mule suitable for India. There has also been some little business done in 20's and 30's water-twist at extreme prices, and the market closes with an upward tendency for all kinds of yarn, stocks being pretty much exhausted, and most descriptions being very scarce. The home trade have bought some little yarn, but the market has not been active in this department. Sellers require the full prices of last week for these as well as for other descrip tions of yarn. In cloths the business done to-day has been only moderate, owing to the high prices manufacturers continue to ask. There has been some demand for long -cloths and T- cloths, and large orders could have been placed if manufacturers had been disposed to accept rather easier terms, but for the present there seems to be little prospect of that, owing to the high rates still ruling for cotton and yarn. The accounts from India are flat, but there are buyers in the market for that quarter who are disposed to operate if prices were more favourable. We have heard of some orders given out for cloths for the home trade where manufacturers, by using a mixture of flax or other material with cotton, have been able to meet the views of merchants as to price. Both the cloth and yarn markets close very firm. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market —" There has been a fair inquiry to-day, especially for some kinds of longcioths ; but the high rates still so firmly demanded by manufacturers prevent buyers operating to any extent. We repeat our quotations of last week, but the business done has been of very small amount." LEEDS, Sept. 29.—T0-day's has been an unusually quiet market. Very little business was done i❑ anything except witneys, pilots, and beavers, of which a few small parcels were sold. Merchants a - ae contracting their operations as winter draws near, and manufacturers refuse to work on specu lation, owing to the dearness both of wool and cotton. Makers of union cloths of various dyes have little difficulty in clearing off stocks, especially of lower qualities. Some orders for spring goods have been given recently, but it has not transpired that anything more has been done in that line to day. The white cloths and hair-lists offered to-day were not all disposed of, but in one or two instances good parcels were purchased. ROCIIDALE, Sept. 28.—T0-day's market has scarcely been an average one, many of those who are accustomed to buy largely being absent, pro bably because it was a foregone conclusion that the stock of goods on offer would be small, owing to the late wetness of the weather which has impeded operations in the tenter fields. In the warehouses, however, we find the flannel trade keeping up to the good standard of the last few months, and it is not surprising after such a sustained de mand that stocks begin to present a slender aspect. If the weather hold up, and stirring operations commence for the winter simultaneously, it will not bo long before they will be sufficiently recruited. Yorkshire goods, having attained to a maximum price almost beyond precedent, are becoming less saleable. There is a fair demand for Law goods and scourers, but they are scarcely to be met with. The price of wool is rising still higher, much to the dia satisfaction of tho manufacturers, who find a diffi culty in doing a profitable business with the raw material at such high rates. NEW FRENCH ACADEMICIAN.—Paris is looking forward now eagerly to the discourse of M. Dufaure on being admitted to the Academy. He ha; becn elmi'sed with the cul9gy cf Duke Pasquier. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A PAWNBROKER'S MANAGER.—John Lee, of 12, Castle .street, St. nartin's, described as a jeweller, was charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Mr. W. Frederick Parker, manager of the business of Mr. Bartrama, pawnbroker, 223, Piccadilly. Mr. Parker deposed that the prisoner entered the shop, and producing a diamond ring, asked for an advance of £3 upon it. He refused to advance the money, and the pri soner, who was drunk, became very violent, gesticulated a good deal, and then left the shop. On looking through the window to see whether the prisoner had gone away, he found the prisoner was squaring up to the window with his fists. Fearing the prisoner would break the windows, he (Mr. Parker) went to the shop door when the prisoner struck him a severe blow. He then sent for the police. The prisoner said he had pledged articles several times at Mr. Bertram's. Holden, 297 A, said on being fetched to Mr. Bartram'a by the shop boy, he found the prisoner with his fist up as if about to strike Mr. Parker. The prisoner said that if he had not already struck Mr. Parker be would do so, and as he was drunk and violent he took him into custody. In answer to:Mr. Knox, Mr. Parker said he knew the prisoner as a man who pledged things and sold the tickets. The prisoner was in the habit of indulging in violent lan guage, and if the money he wanted was not advanced him he abused him. Mr. Knox imposed a fine of 205., or 14 days. Mr. Parker said there was a number of fellows who came to the shop, and he had no doubt other shops in the trades, and when money was not advanced then they made use of very violent language. Mr. Knox said Mr. Parker could give them into custody. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT THE ROYAL MILITARY STORES BY A SOLDIER.—John Carpenter, one of the Scots Fusiliers, was charged with a robbery of the stoles, to which he had access. Sergeant Purchess, 10 B, said—l am on duty at the military stores on Thames Bank. Prisoner was employed there as a porter, and received a shilling per day in ad dition to his usual pay. Yesterday ho was leaving the premises at 1 o'clock, when, as he passed out of the gate, I observed something bulky in his coat under his arm. There was a great crowd at the moment of two or three hundred men leaving, and I could not get at the prisoner, but I sent a constable after him to bring him back, and as he came into the lodge I asked him what he had in his coat pocket, when he replied, "Only a few white serge cuttings." He then asked me to look over it, and said that, if I did not, it would be the ruin of him for life. I told him I could not do so, and the authorities ordered him to be charged and brought here. Chief Clerk—What did you find in the coat pocket ? Witness—White serge cuttings ? Chief Clerk—How many ? Witness—They weighed three pounds ten ounces, and, contracted for with other cuttings, fetch the Government Sid. per pound. Mr. Arnold (to a sergeant of the regiment)—What is the man's character ? Sergeant—Very good. Dennis, the gaoler—lie is wearing four good conduct stripes, your worship. Military sergeant—And a good conduct medal upon his breast. Mr. Arnold—This is a most deplorable case. Prisoner—l hope your worship will treat the as leniently as you can, for the sake of my wife and four children. I took the things when overcome by temptation. I picked them up ; they were on the ground. I did not know they were of very particular value. Mr. Arnold (after inquiries)—You must have known the Government sold them, and that they were regularly fetched by the contractor. This is a most deplorable and, painful case. Seeing the high character you have hitherto borne, I will not treat it as a felony; although I strain the law, I shall only deal with you for unlawful possession, and commit you to hard labour in the House of Correction for 14 days. THAMES. TARS IN TRIBULATION.—Two mariners, named Wm. Conway and Edward Ashe, were brought before Mr. Part ridge charged with assaulting Henry Rose, a sugar baker, Francis Robbins, 119 H, and Benjamin Stebbings, 111 H. It appeared in evidence that the constable Robbins saw the prisoner Conway lying on the pavement close to the door of a house in Leman-street, Whitechapcl. The con stable gave him a shaking, aroused him, and told him to go on. The sailor was very much annoyed at his slumbers being disturbed, and struck the policeman. Robbins seized him and told him ho must go to the station house. The sailor said he would not go there. They struggled and went down together. fitebbings, another police• constable, went to the assistance of Robbins, and Ashe, who it appeared was unknown to the other prisoner, came up, and a serious fight took place. Robbins was struck and knocked down, and Conway seized him by the hair of his head and held him down while Ashe kicked him. An up and down fight took place, and the roughs of White chapel encouraged the sailors in their resistance to the police officers. Fortunately the parties were near the H division station-house in Leman-street, and a reinforcement having arrived the sailors were overpowered and soon placed in durance vile. Mr, Partridge asked the prisoners what they had to say in defence, and Conway spoke for both and said, "Drunk, your honour.' Mr. Partridge could not allow police constables to be ill used with impunity. Ho fined the prisoners £5 each, and in default two months' imprisonment. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Although our market to-day was scantily supplied with English wheat, the demand for all kinds was in a very in active state, at prices barely equal to last week. The con dition of the samples was good. We had a large supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Selected qualities were held at full quotations, but the de mand for them was by no means active. Inferior kinds were very dull, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little attention. There was a fair average quantity of barley on offer, and the trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in value, The malt trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Oats were a slow inquiry, but we have no change to notice in prices. Beans and peas were heavy, at late rates. The flour trado was inactive, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

RUSSIA AND GREECE. The Invalide .7usse of the 24th September pn b lishes the following respecting the sojourn of th e King of Greece at St. Petersburg :—" While the attention of the statesmen of Europe is more or less occupied with the most serious political questions, which change their aspect at each m oment with wonderful celerity, it is not useless at times to dwell upon facts which, independently of their political gravity, bear the stamp of friendly relations between nations united from time immemorial by fraternal bonds. United to Greece by the indissoluble• link of religion, protecting the Greeks for cent uries, Russia, more than any other State, takes the in terests of the Greeks to heart. The motive of the sympathy of our Government for Greece does net emanate from any selfiih consideration. Russia is so great that she does not want either new territorial acquisitions or the development of her moral influence over the populations of the East. Toe secular policy of Russia in the Eastern Question has sufficiently demonstrated to the races of the south-east of Europe the disinterested love which animates our Government. This is why the arrival in our capital of his Majesty George 1., King of the Greeks, has been hailed by the Go vernment, as well as by the people, with the most cordial sympathy, as the young King is looked upon as the guarantee of the welfare and pro sperity of the Hellenes. On the 21st September, at two p.m., his Majesty arrived at Tsarkce-Selo per special train by the Warsaw-Petersburg rail way. The Emperorreceived the King at the Tsarskoe- Selo station, whence their Majesties proceeded to the great Palace of that residence, where apart ments had been prepared for King George I. and his suite. On the following morning, 22d Sep tember, the King paid a visit to Pavlovsky, whence he returned to attend a review of the garrison of Tsarsk De-Selo at two in the afternoon. The weather was magnificent, and contributed greatly to the splendour of the review. After which the public assembled in the garden in front of the Palace, to get a closer view of the young Sovereign of the Greeks. 'The impression made by the King upon the people was most favourable. The youthful, intelligent, open-hearted, healthy countenance of the young Sovereign was the general theme of admiration, but the popular sympathy declared itself much more plainly when the King took an excusion on the lake. It became evident that the King was welcomed among us not only with the honours due to an august guest, but especially as the Sovereign and representative of the Greek people, to whom we are united by sincere fraternity and by community of religion. On the 23d September the King came to St. Petersburg, and alighted at the Winter Palace. The subjects of his Majesty and the lonians domi ciled at St. Petersburg having testified their desire to express to their Sovereig❑ their fidelity and the sentiments ofjoy which animated them at the idea of the realisation of the national hopes so long enter tained by the Greeks, elected a deputation to inter pret their sentiments to their Sovereign. The choice of the lonians at first fell upon Count T. A. Cape d'lstria, attached to the Imperial Minis try of Foreign Affairs, and whose name is inti mately connected with the heroic epoch of young Greece ; but, in consequence of the situation he holds, the Count Capo d'lstiia necessarily declined it. The honour of representing the lonians there fore fell upon M. G. A. Sivinis. King George I. received the Deputy of the lonians at 10.30 a.m. M. Sivinis addressed his Majesty as follows : " The Greek-lonians residing at St. Petersburg have con ferred upon me the honour of waiting upon your Majesty to express the sentiments of unbounded and profound devo tion which animate our fellow• citizens. " The acceptance of the Greek crown by your Majesty, and consequent thereupon the fulfilment of the heartfelt desires of the lonians to be united to free Greece, have made the hearts of my fellow-citizens overflow with so much love and devotion for your august person that we all, Sire, await your arrival in the midst of your new subjects as that of the Messiah. Accept at the same time, Sire, our sincre con gratulations on the occasion of your happy arrival in this capital, and our cordial good wishes for the proximate voyage of your Majesty." The King thanked M. Sivinis for the expression of the sentiments of the lonian Greeks, and said to him, as he was leaving : " I hope to realise within the shortest possible time the hopes of your lonian fellow-citizens." The other Greeks residing at St. Petersburg had also elected a deputation. The higher class of Greek society was represented by Prince A. Mou rouzi, whose name is a reminiscence of the memo rable war of Greek independence. MM. Rodoco nachi, Scaramanga, and Karali represented the Greek merchants residing at St. Petersburg. They were received on the 23d, and met with a most gracious welcome. AGE OF THE PEOPLE, England (including Wales) was found to have in it, when the census was taken in April, 1861, 593,721 babies and sucklings under one year old ; 2,107,061 infants of one year but under five years old ; 2,344,066 children of 5 to 10 ; 1,059,889 boys and 1,045,287 girls, 10 to 15 ; 957,930 youths and 974,712 maidens, 15 to 20 (though to speak by the card,we should distinguish 29,719 as thus early wed) ; 1,594,497 young men and 1,804,160 young women, 20 to 30; 2,947,534 men and 3,149,320 women of middle age, 30 to 60; 641 ; 282 old men and 733,515 old women, 60 to SO; and 47,260 very aged men, and 65,990 very aged women, above 80. The young population under 20 amounted in number to 9,082,666 ; the population 20 years old and upwards were 10,983,558. In the 10 years 1851 —lB6l the young population under 20 increased by 971,654, and the population 20 years old and upwards by 1,166,961. The rate of increase, though very nearly the same in both classes, was slightly higher among the young than among the older population; not only the absolute number of births, but the ratio of births to population, is in creasing. The population of England divides inio two equal parts in respect to age at a little over 22; and it is nearly 29 times the annual number of births. These statements do not include our sol diers, sailors, and merchant seamen abroad, so that the number of men in the middle period of life is to a certain extent unduly depressed. The very aged have not in the last ten years increased in near the same proportion as the general population. In 1851 there were in England 107,041 persons who had passed the limit of "14 years;'' in 1861 the number had only increased to 113,250. In 1851 215 persons were returned as being above 100 years old, but only 201 persons in 1861—one in every 100,000. Of this last number 146 were women, and but 55 men nearly three women to one man. Only 26 had never been married. About a third were found living in large towns -21 in London, 11 in Liverpool, five in Manchester, one in I3;rmingham, four in Bristol, one in Leeds. As in 1851, so in 1861, these very aged persons were not found so often in the midland districts of the kingdom as in the north and the east, and most of all in the west. At the last census Norfolk had among its 435,000 people 11 above 100 years old ; Gloucestershire,with 485,000 people, had eight cen tenarians ; and Somerset, with its 445,000, had nine. Wales, with its 1,112,000, had no less than 24, the same number as Lancashire with its 2,40 0 , (100 people, and more than London with its 2,800,000 inhabi tants. So far as the occupations of these long-liv e d persons are given, the returns show a majority en gaged in pursuits that caused them to be much in the open air. Three had been farmers, 1:3 out-door farm servants, five labourers, three hawkers, three seamen, three soldiers; there was a fisherman, a quarrier, a waterworks man, a miller. But there was also a scrivener, four shoemakers, a baker, a grocer, a carpenter, a marine store dealer, three per sons occupied in cotton manufacture, two in woollen, one in silk, one in lace. Of the women the returns commonly state only whether the person :s wife or widow, but we are told that there were six who had been domestic servants, two nurses, three char women, two washerwomen, and a gipsy. One cen tenarian was a member of the Household, Fourteen are described as land or house proprietors, or inde pendent; 19 were passing their last years in the workhouse. Six were biind.

The hand is cold which wrote it, says the Atheeezum, and we have one pure-minded, clear-headed, talc' high-principled author the less, just too when writers of ouch quality are least to be spared.
