HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The reduction that has lately taken place in the floating balances of bankers and others has mate rially changed the aspect of the money market, and discounters evince less disposition to negotiate commercial securities without receiving a large marginal profit. The inquiry for accommodation continues moderately active, and the quotations for the best three months' bills have ranged from per cent. No bullion operations were reported at the Bank y esterday. The Committee of the Stock E,change have appointed Thursday next a special settling day in the shares of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank for trans, actions entered into on and after August 6, but not to be marked at present in the official lists. - Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets daring the last few days has continued rather dull; E u;ar, however, has maintained pre vious rates, while superior descriptions of coffee have been in demand at full prices. In rice, cocoa, fruit, and spices there has been little change of im portance; but considerable excitement has prevailed in the Tallow Market owing to speculative dealings for forward delivery. The official statement relating to the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom for the past seven months up to 31st July have just been pub lished, from which it appears that the total de clared value of the exports during that period amounted to £92,441,950 against 75,663,037 in the like period of 1863, showing an increase of £16,778,913. The chief increase has been in coals and culm, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufacture, woollen and worsted manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool. The imports have been larger as regards live ani mals, raw cotton, flex, provisions, quicksilver, and sheep and lambs wool, flour, brandy, tobacco, and wine, but smaller in raw silk, tallow, cocoa, coffee, corn, pepper, and sugar. The shipping accounts for the same period show an increase of 136,962 tons employed in the foreign trade for the entries inwards, as also of 162,277 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade during the above period 23,564 tons more were employed than in the corresponding period of the previous year for the entries inwards, and 82,525 tons for the clearances outwards. a'wo o'CLocrc. At Paris this day, aconrding to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 30c. The English Stcck Market has been subjected to a severe depression to-day conscquent upon the few dealings which have taken place. The Funds re ceded ± per cent. soon after the commencement of business, and Consols are 881 1 for money, and 881 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 b ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. die. ; India 5 per Cents., 1031 104; and Enfaced 4 per Cents., 92. In the Foreign Market there is very little anima• tion, and prices are tolerably firm, Turkish 6 per Cents,, 1862, are 70 ; do. Consolides, 60 ; Mexi can, 28 ; do. New, 25Z 26k ; Greek, 23k 241 ; Spanish Passive, 31 4 ; do. Certificates, 13Z I ; Portuguese, 47Z ; and the Confederate Loan, 78 79. The arrangement of the half-montlily account has been the principal business transacted in the Rail way Share Market to day, and prices have not varied to any important extent. London, Chatham, and Dover have declined £l, and North Western and South Eastern each 55.; while Lancashire and 'Yorkshire have improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial Hue remain without material change. Bank and Miscellaneous shares are very dull, and barely sustain former quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

Such remarks are also looked on as showing a wish to excite a feeling of mis trust aeainst the authorities of the country. 111 E "HOP-PICKING" Exonus.—Early yesterday morning a large number of persons left the metropolis by railroad and steamboats for the hop grounds in Kent.

(Before S. Joyce, Esq.) HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO PUBLIC COMPANIES. Two cases occurred this morning in which the law governing the legal transactions of public companies was positively laid down by the judge. In the first case the London General Omnibus Company sued a Mr. Itt'Evoy to recover damages. One of the company's managers attended, and his Honour asked where was the company F . Manager . I appear on its behalf. lam not an attorney. The company generally employs an attorney, but this is a small case. His Honour—A public company can only appear under seal or by attorney. Do you appear under seal? Manager—No, but I can scon get it. His Honour—The case must be struck out. Plaintiffs are nousuited. In the second case, the London and South-Western Rail way Company v. Eason, a clerk attended to prove an ad mission of the debt. His Ilonour repeated his former remarks, and decided that a public company must appear before the court in a proper form. Upon this the Clerk at once instructed Mr Buchanan, wh) enjoys an extensive and respectable practice in this Court, and the case being quickly proved, costs were allowed. JUDGMENT DEBT QUESTION,LIWRENCE V: JONES. This was a commitment summons, and Mr Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, defendant baing a corn meter of Tower-street. The defendant admitted that he earned £7O to £BO per annum. Mr Buchanan informed the Court that the defendant had already been sent to prison for this debt, and he seemed determined not to pay this money. It was really a very great hardship on the plaintiff to bo kept out of her money far so long a period, and perhaps the Court would protect her. His Honour pointed out to the defendant that he could not do any good by going to Prison, and that unless he made some arrangement with plaintiff he would be sent to prison for the longest period set out 14y the act of Parlia ment,—Adjourned.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRA VELLER.—WiIIiam Vanse Feast, of Askendale, Yorkshire, commercial traveller, and aged 31, was brought before Mr Partridge, on a warrant granted by Mr Woolrych in January last, charged with feloniously embezzling upwards of £lod, which he had received for and on account of Messrs Denton and Jutsum, his employers, of Bow-com mon, Middlesex. Mr Mullens, of the firm of R, and N. S. Muilens, solici • tors, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was apprehended at Liverpool by Daniel Smith, an officer of the Thames Police Court. He called Mr Alfred Sydney Jutsum, of Now Broad-street, Bow common, who said ho was an oil, grease, and varnish manufacturer. He had oae partner. In the month of November, 1862, the prisoner was engaged by the firm as clerk and traveller in the country, and he signed an agree ment, dated Nov. 13, 1862. About the middle of August, 1863, the prisoner left London to proceed on the Leeds journey. It was part of his duty to remit to him a weekly report of the moneys he received on his journey, and was to remit his moneys within 24 hours after collection. Aleut the 221 of August he received from the prisoner the report produced, marked B. It showed in favour of the firm a balance of £4 7s. On the sth of September, the prisoner sent him a report marked 0, showing a balance due to the firm of £55 3s 61 In that report there was a sum of £2517s 6d stated to have been received from W. Jonas Steward, living near Leeds. The prisoner did not return to the counting. house of the firm after he left in the middle of August. Witness had since been in communication with his cus tomers. He hed received the prisoner's receipt, now produced, for £l3 163 2d, and dated September 9, 1863. It was signed, " For Denton and Jutsum, W. S. Feast." He had never received the money. The prisoner ac countel for it on the last day of September, 1863, but never paid it. He had not seen prisoner or received any remittance of money since the 12th, except cash £2O, re mitted in half notes. In cross-examination by the prisoner—Mr Jutsum said, I am not the principal partner in the firm. The principal partner is Charles Joseph Denton. We trade as Denton and Jutsum. You have been in my service as traveller, on and off, nine or ten years. I gave you notice to leave our service on September 24, 1863, and the notice expired at the end of the week. I did not telegraph to you to come to .London. I wrote to you on August 31, and also on Sep tember 16 and 17. You did not come to our office. I did not see you, You wrote to Mr Denton to ask for a refe rence, not for a re-engagement. The prisoner —That is the reason I am prosecuted. Mr Mullins asked for a remand, and said the prisoner's defalcations amounted to £lOO. Mr Partridge remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKZTS.

Both settling and betting were very qufet this afternoon. Very little was got through in the former branch of busi ness, and as far as speculation on future events was con cerned the bulk of the transactions were confined to Master Richard for the St. Leger and Olmar for the Derby. For the former Blair Athol had decidedly the call of General Peel, and 10 to 1 would have been taken to money about The Miner, while John Scott's presumed representative, Baragah, was in demand at 13 to I after 1,000 to 70 had been laid two or three times. Some sensation was created by the " posting" of a nice little knot et " Welshers" under the following names, each of whom victimised a gallant captain at Ascot for the amount appended to his name : Last, £6OO ; J. Browne, ..000 ; Johnson, £4O ; Wilson, £10; Maloney, alias Mellor, £lO ; C. J. Biasco (this sounds very like Belasco), ; Allen, alias H. Adams, £100; and Hume, £l7o—in all £1,200. It is satisfactory, however, to those who would wish to further the ends of justice to know that this band of brothers is well known, and that when next they present themselves or admission to the ring their reception will be unpleasantly warm. The tone of the market un future events will be gathered from the sul joined list of closing prices : TILE ST. LEGER. sto 2 aget Mr W. l' Anson's Blair Athol ( aken) 5 b 2 agst Lord Glasgow' s G en .

SUSSEX. Harvest operations throughout the county of Sussex are now rapidly, drawing to a close, and it is anticipated that in a few days longer, with a con tinuance of the present highly favourable weather, the whole of the crops will have been securely garnered. The hay crop was scarcely an average one, owing to the long continued drought, and the price of this commodity is on the rise, with the prospett of still higher figures as winter approaches. The great bulk of the what crop bas now been safely housed, and where thrashing has taken place it has proved of excellent quality, having in several instances produced 511 b per bushel, with a yield of ten sacks per acre. Oa the whole ; it is considered that there will be more than a full average crop of this particular grain. Barley' has not been very extensively circulated in Sussex of late years, but that sown on the best lands is highly spoken or, and likely to turn out well. Oats are rather an even crop, those early sown promising well— whereas those put into the soil late are rather short in straw, thin, and of light quality. The quality of the potatoes generally is good, although the bulbs, owing to the want of moisture, are unusually small. The late rains have effected a wonderful im provement in cereals of all descriptions, which now look fresh and promising, although in some quar ters the rains have come too late to be of much ser vice. The prospects of sheep keep during the win ter are much more encouraging than they were a few weeks ago—and should genial weather be now experienced, with a mild autumn, ample provision may yet be obtained for the ensuing winter and spring—the earth, from thel )1 . 3g-continued drought, being in a condition to insure quick vegetation. YORK SUIRE. In the North and East hidings daring the past week the progress of harvest work has been rapid. Tnere has been very little interruption from the weather, only a trifling ,shower or two having fallen. The temperature of the week has been low, with a keen north-easter blowing and frotsy nights, on Friday night, in low districts, even damaging the dahlias and vegetable marrows, &c. The crops during the week have not ripened much, and farmers, fearing rain, have mown them rather green in some cases. Wherever it has been practi cable the fields have been cleared, and a journey through the district now thaws new wheat stacks more frequent than is generally supposed. As more acquaintance is being made by farmers with the actual character of the crops, there are very few of them who now grumble about the deficiency, but as a rule they admit the wheat to be an average crop. Barley, on all hands, is stated to be the best. Oats however are generally reported ligt.t. Potatoes are small, but little will be done among them till the corn harvest is out of the way. The turnips have made no progress, and the deficient crop is a great cause of anxiety upon sheep farms especially. One wold farmer has not an acre left out of 90—all are killed by the drought. The pastures are so brown and burnt up that at a distance they can with diffi culty be distinguished from the corn stubbles. The want of water necessitates leading from the rivers for stock, and new oats are being used as fodder for cattle in some places. The first fall of rain of any value to the root crops and grass lands was during Saturday night and Sunday, when very nice showers fell, and there is every indication of more. Rain to the pastures and roots would far more benefit the farmer than any temporary interruption to the har vest would do him damage. At the time of writing the atmosphere is very still and moist for the &pi time for many weeks. Charing-Cross Railway Refreshment Rooms. ---...-.,-.- One portion of the extensive pile of building for the Charing-cross Hotel is now so far completed as to be ready for opening in a few weeks. It consists of a noble room on the ground floor in the Villiers-street front connecting with the railway station, and it is to be appropriated to refresh ment rooms. In connection with this department the di rectors entertain opinions which will be considered as heterodox by some other boat ds—they think that a refresh ment room at a railway station should be what its name implies, and not a mockery and a delusion to railway tra vellers. 'We believe that the public will regard with no small favour this bold innovation upon a state of things which has already existed too long. It is strange that it should have required the experience of so many years to convince sensible men, as directors of railways are generally , presumed to be, of the absurdity of a system which con demned travellers to the alternative of hunger or indigestion, and' which was alike mischievous to the revenues of the companies, and to the health and comfort of travellers. All this, we are glad to say, is now to be changed; brighter days are in store for the traveller on the South-Eastern, and let us hope that, their example followed by other lines, we TelY soon'lvitt° BB a complete reform in the matter of refreshment s'Pems• The experiment of supplying good, wholesome, and nutritious food and drink is about to be made at Charing-cross by Messrs. Spiers and Pond, who come to us from the Anti podes. These gentlemen, who were enterprising enough to engage the team of cricketers and took them out to Australia, who have been negotiating for some time with Mr Charles Dickens for a series of readings in the gold and wool producing colonies of Australia, and who, it is rumoured, have designs of a similar chat actor upon either Mr Spurgeon or Tom Sayers, will not, we are assured, be found wanting in the enterprise neces sary for a railway refreshment room at Charing-cress. The same firm have, we believe, also entered into arrangements with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company for the supply of refreshments at all stations on their line. The arrangements made are mutual in character, the companies receiving, instead of a fixed rent for the stations, a certain percentage of the gross receipts, thus giving to each party to the contract an interest in the extension of the business to be done. The contractors will endeavour to attract customers by the quality and price of their goods supplied, and the companies will assist by giving facilities for carry ing on the business.—Railway News. THE ABBE CHATAIGNON.—Ttie Civil Tribunal of Angonleme has just given judgment in the action which was brought by the Abbe Chataignon against the officers of the ttat-eivil of the communes of Plassac-Rouf fiac and of Mouthiers, for refusing to publish and celebrate his marriage. The Court has decided that as the Catholic Church imposes celibacy on the priests ; that as conse quently a citizen who enters into holy orders engages never to marry, and that as it is on the faith of such engagement that the Church authorises him to exercise his ministry and to receive confessions, which he might abuse if he had not laid aside all hope of ever again returning into the world, the officers of the etat-eivil of the said communes were jus tified in refusing to comply with the application made to them by the Abbe; the plaintiff, therefore, is nonsuited and condemned to pay all the costs.—Galignant, THE ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE CORPS OF COM MISSIONAIRES. —la March last the captain an nounced that for this purpose a sum of £B,OOO was neces sary, although men of business allege that the institution is more than self-supporting. From March to August, the amount subscribed towards this £B,OOO, is less than £3130, of which at least one-half must have been absorbed by the cost of advertisements in the Times, of xhich the captain's brother is the chief proprietor, and which has had a mono poly of the advertisements.—The Comet. DEATH THROUGII THE UPSETTING OF A CUP OF TEA. —On Saturday afternoon Mr A. A. Fletcher, coroner, held an inquest at Walsall touching the death of Elizabeth Tomlinson, a child 31 years of age, the daughter of a.wag goner. The child while at the breakfast table accidentally upset a cup full of hot tea over her chest, arms, and side, and extensive inflammation being caused she was taken to the Cottage Hospital, and there treated as an out-patient until Wednesday last, when she was admitted into the in.• stitution, but death terminated her sufferings on the follow ing day. A verdict of accidental death was returned. THE GAME SEASON.—Partridge shooting com mences on Thursday next, Sept. 1, and there is every pro spect of good sport for the gunner. In consequence of the dry weather the season has been very favourable for hatching, and rearing both pheasants and partridges. The latter are numerous and strong, and the former are also Plentiful and strong on the wing. Some covies in Wor cestershire could fly well before the end of June. The great scarcity of cover, however, has made the birds un usually wild, and sportsmen will have to walk a good deal in order to make up a " Lag." Hares and rabbits are pieta • tiful, the season being also favourable for their increase. The harvest is finished everywhere, so that there will be oo interruption to the sport. UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS.—The unclaimed divi deeds handed over to the Commissioners for the, Reduction of the National Debt, and by them invested in the public funds, mounted at the close of the last financial year to no lees than V,70,975 stock. There is also in the hands of the Commissioners more than' £500,030 stack on which no dividend has been claimed for upwards of 10 years. DEATH OF LORD MORLEY.—PLYMOUTH, Aug. 30.—The Eiri of Morley died on Sunday evening, aged 54, after a short illness, while on a visit at Whitaway, near Chudleigh, Devon, the residence of Mrs. Parker, the Countess of Morley's 'nether, The Peace Movement in New York. The following is the chief portion of the article of the New York Herald, published on the 13th inst., advocating a six months' armistice and the appointment of Federal commissions to proceed to Richmond with a view to arranging conditions of pence:—." In the present state of affairs, if we can do. nothing more, it is all important to the safety of the country and the administration that we should place the leaders of the rebellion clearly in the wrong before their own people and the civilised world, and the Government as clearly in the right before all the people of the loyal States in the fur• ther proreention of this dreadful war. We can do this througle a special embassy of three peace com missioners ter Richmond, if we can do no more. We believe, however, that throuLeh a movement of this kind, comprehending an armistice of six months, and a convention of all the states, euleject to such conditions and ratifications es may be hereafter agreed upon, we eau recurs B. permanent pence upon the basis of the Union. and the Constitu tion. Let us suppose, for instance, that Mr Line cola assuming this responsibility for the make of peace and a 'decent respect for the °pi:lions of mane kind,' has detailed three peace commissioners to Richmond with these simple propositions :—First, for an armistice for six months; and, second, for a convention of all the States, to consist of one delegate from each Congressional district, and two additional delegates at large feoen each State; and that said convention, thus constituted, shall meet, say in Baltimore, on the first Monday is December next, to consider the ways and means for peace— could anything, in any event, bat the greatest ad vantage result to the Union side of the house ? No. Rejected or accepted, the loyal States and the Government have everything to gain and nothing to lose in the undertaking, If Jefferson Davis, his Cabinet and Congress, accept the armistice and the convention, we shall still retain under the first our blockade, and all the forts and places wrested from the enemy as now held by our land and naval forges; and if the convention shall come to nothing we shall be in a position to resume the war with all, and more than all, the advantages which we now com mand, But we have great faith in the opinion that the representatives of the rebellious States, in being brought into familiar council with those of the loyal States, where they will be relieved of the despotic authority of Davis, will be so charmed with the suspension of the war that they will find a treaty of peace and reunion, satisfactory to the North and to the South, an easy achieve ment, It is probable that Davis may reject this convention ; it is possible that he may reject the armistice, or couple its acceptance with prosperous conditions of Southern independence ; but the overtures suggested will compel him to show his hand, and if he shall flatly refuse to listen to any propositions of peace, expect upon the basis of a Southern Confederacy, all doubts, all divisions, and all discords among the people of the loyal States will be at an end. 2he copperhead peace faction will be disarmed and powerless for further mischief, the North will be united, and divisions and dissen sions will break out in the South. Let it be made to appear to those people, in their present crippled, exhausted, and desperate position, under Davis, that the Government does not seek their subjuga ticn to an abolition idea, or their destruction, but their reclamation and salvation in the Union, and President Lincoln will soon realise the immense advantages of this peace movement, It will serve the country and make sure his re-election, accepted or rejected at Richmond ; but, short of some con cession to public opinion, he may now even read the handwriting on the well. Surely, after having been so far led astray and betrayed, as Mr. Lincoln has been, by such treacherous guides as Ben. Wade and Winter Davis, he must now be in a frame of mind to listen to good advice." FRENCH ACADEMY CF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting a paper was received from Dr Gaillouste, on the insufficiency of the means commonly employed against the bite of mad dogs and the sting of venomous reptiles. In his opinion, cupping effected on the wound is greatly to be preferred. The secretary of the Academy, however, re marked that cupping had already been tried and a report been presented on the subject to the Academy ,in which it, was shown that in most cases the effect of this operation was only suspensive, that is, that it prevented the absorption of the virus until other therapeutic agents could be procured to destroy it. M. Chautard communicated certain results obtained by him in experimenting on currents of induction traversing rarified gasses. On examining the spectra pro duced in such cases, when the gaseous matter was raised to a state of incandescence by making a current obtained from Ruhmkorfi's machine pass through it, M. Chautard finds that the red and brilliant light emanating from a tube filled with hydrogen is gradually transformed into a livid greenish with tint; the spectrum, instead of presenting three magnifi cent bands,red, green,and violet respectively,as usual consists only of a very pale green band. The tube acquires no heat during the process. In nitrogen also various colours disap pear. the red and orande first, the violet last. In carbonic acid the bands are very numerous under the influence of an ore nary current, but if the tension of the circuit be dimi nished, the same absorption of the extreme shades takes place. M. M des Essarts sent in a paper on a method of his for transmittizg the oscillating power of the waves of the sea to certain appratuses placed on the beach, which may be substituted for steam engines in the various workshops of arsenals. _ . LOVE IN A DRAPEIt'S SHOP.—In an accident that has just occurred in Liverpool we have another evidence of bow the po.werful ptomptings of a "tender" heart control the more reflective senses of the mind. In a rather extensive business establishment ire Liverpool, where several assistants are engaged, there might have been seen, a week or two since, a youcg man of command ing deportment and of agreeable features, who gave effect to his avocation behind the counter in a manner that was at once inviting to the customers and conducive to the success of his master. With many purchasers he became a favourite, but with ono in particular. More than once— sometimes mere than twice—in the course of a week, a car riage would be drawn up ac the shop door, from which would emerge a lady, apparently between 30 and 40 years of age— tall, of delicate appearance, bat with an outline of features that unmistakably indicated an aristocratic descent. If the young gentleman—we say young, for ho was scarcely 21 years of age—was not at his accustomed position behind the counter upon her entering the shop, she made the most urgent inquiries after him, desiring that ho should attend to her and no one else. The worthy proprietor was always too happy to comply with her desire, for she was one of those first-rate customers that settled a good ledger account once in six months without the allowance of the ordinary discount. The favourite salesman was soon at his post serving the lady, and though a goodly number of articles might be disposed of, there appeared to exist a " peculiar something" in " business transaction" which in the course of time looked *very much like a warm cordi• ality of sentiment, and a recipocity of feeling and idea bordering upon mutual attachmCnt. Of course the young man was " chaffed" exceedingly by his envious shopmates, who were wont to ejaculate in their strange surmisings that it was a sort o: proceeding "no fellah could understand." Since one day last week, however, the buxom stripling has become non est as far as the establishment is concerned, while the face of the Itty as well has not presented itself within the visionary region pf the other assistants or their employer. It is stated that a letter was addressed by the young man to his mother on the eve prior to his leaving stating " that he had left his old place to better himself elsewhere. Fortune had sud denly smiled upon him in a wondrous manner I" lle assured his mother also that, "the next time she con fronted her ' darling boy' she w ould see him a gentleman of the first stamp. lle should then decline to say where he was gone, but he trusted she would not be nervous on that account, as she would hear from him again shortly," On inquiries being instituted it was discovered that the lady too had been missing for several days from her home. No traces up to Thursday last—nearly a week having then elapsed—had been discovered of her whereabouts, She has been a widow for five years and is without encumbrance. She has been residing in a rather picturesque village in Lancashire since her widowhood, and is in receipt of a liberal income, Under present circumstances we omit the names of the parties.--Liverpool Courier. NEUTRALISATION OF MILITARY HOSPITALS IN TIME OF WAR.—The deliberations of the International Medical Centel ence at Geneva, have terminated in the con clusion of a convention iu 10 articles, which affirm the neu tralisation of all military hospitals, of the whole official medical staff, and of the wounded. Twelve States only figure therein a contracting parties, namely, France, the Grand Duchy of Dijon. Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Prussia, S'Ai!7,, , ,rland, and WurtemLu7g ; tut the protocol having been left open, all the other Powers can accede to the con- vention. An interesting ncremony took place two days igo in the Church of La Chart et LyonF, shere Mgr. do Charbonnel otdained, as priests, two young deacons belonging to the establishment of the African :Mis sions, and who are about to proceed to the Kingdom of Dahomey. rie also baptised a young negro about eleven years of age, a native of that c •entry.

Murder throug.li Jealousy • Yesterday morning a murder was committed in Cross street, Hatton-garden, the murderer being a man named Henry Wilkinson, aged 29, a stonemason's labourer, re siding at 9, Cross-street, and the unfortunate victim his wife, Eliza, a woman of prepossessing appearance. Between one and two o'clock this morning a fearful dis turbance was heard in the apartments occupied by the pri soner, his wife, and another lodger. On police-constable Cock, 116 G, entering the room he found the deceased woman lying on the floor. She had been attended by 1)1', Gibson, who said that death bad been caused from the combined effects of kicks and blows in the stomach. There was but little blood about the deceased's person, although there was a good deal about the.place. It would appear that yesterday some friends of both parties called to see them, and spent the clay with them. In the evening', they all partook of a little drink, but none of them got intoxicated. Shortly befor e thedeparture of the last train on the Metropolitan Railway, the d ecease d an d h er hus band went to see their friends off. Bef ore they parte d one of the men kissed the deceased. This seem e d very much to annoy and exasperate the prisoner, who swore and threatened her in a most dreadful manner, and it is stated that whilst standing in the Farringdon-road he struck his wife in the face. Being fearful that she should be still furthe r ill-used and beaten if she stayed there, the unfortunate woman returned home, and telling one of the other lodgers that the was afraid the prisoner would injure her, asked her if she would allow her to sleep with her until morning, when she thought her husband's wrath would be appeased. Her wish was complied with, and both women retired to rest, As before stated, the husband re turned home shortly after one o'clock, and finding that his wife was not in his room he called for her. He then went into the lodger's room, and finding that his wife was in bed swore at her and pulled her out with great violence, He knocked his wife down, and while she was on the ground he billeted a most fearful kick in the stomach, The poor woman said to her husband, "You have now given me my death blow," rolled over, and fell insensible. She never spoke more, and the prisoner, who then appeared very sorry, went out and fetched a surgeon, and when he re turned he was taken into custody. Information has been forwarded to Dr Lankcster, the coroner for Middlesex, and the inquest will be held this day. At the King's-cross police station, when the charge was read over to the prisoner by Acting Inspector Baldock, I G, he said, "I know she is dead, but it is not from the many blows I have given her now, She has died from those I gave her on Friday."

PILCHARDS.—Some of the Cornish boats made large catches during the past week, but, on the whole, the fishery was not so satisfactory as in the five or six preceding weeks. Oa Sunday about 300 hogsheads were caught by the Love, Union, and Miners• seines at Perran porth, making a total of 1,.500 hogsheads taken within a few days. The fish were very fiae, and there not being sufficient means for curing, a large quantity was sold for manure at a nominal price. A good sale has also taken place at 2s. 31 to 2s. 6d. per basket. The Porthleven driving boats averaged each about 4,000 pilchards per night throughout the week, a great quantity of which was sold to metropolitan and country buyers at Is. 4d. to Is. 64. per 120 ; a large stock was left for bulking. The drift boats at Fowey brought in several thousand fish per boat every night, but the seine boats were very unsuccessful. There was no fishing at Mevagissey on Monday or Tuesday with the seines on account of the weather, but a large quantity of pflehe.rds was discovered on Tuesday night about one mile from the land. Three seines were shot at Gorran Haven on Saturday; one caught about 40 maunds of small-sized fish. The catches by the Mount's Bay boats for the week showed a great falling off:; some of the boats took from three to four hogsheads. The seines did nothing. The drift boats at St. Ives brought in nightly from 1,000 to 4,000 fine fish; price 2s. 2d. to 2s. 41. per 120. Tho seines commenced on Monday, and all the men are now in pay. The directors of the London and South Western Railway have given a prize of L'so to be shot for at the next meeting of the National R , fle Association at Wimbledon. A ROMANTIC STORY.—The Morning Herald gives the following report of a case, Jean Hyacinthe Cordier v, Mary Jane Cordier, which was recently before the Supreme Court of Canada. This is one of the most romantic cares that has been before the Court for some time, and its details afford plenty of plot and incident for a first-class sensational novel :—" It appears that in Decem ber, 1849, the plaintiff was a young jeweller, about 19 years of age, and the defendant was a dressmaker of 23 years of age. He was French, and she was English. The conse quence of their intimacy led to the arres.: of the plaintiff by the detitradant on a charge of seduction. While in the station-house a settlement was had and the parties were married in a cell by a Catholic priest. Immediately after the ceremony plaintiff left, and, as alleged by defendant, ran away secretly. She heard nothing till 18 months ego, when she was informed he had died in the mines of Cali. fornia. About two years after not having heard from Cordier, and in the full belief that ho had departed this life, she married Mr. John Price, by whom she had five children. Ten years after her second marriage, and four. teen years after her first marriage. Mr. Cordier turned up. He had emigrated to California, as he claimed, with the knowledge of Mary. He had there opened a restaurant, pteapered, and now returned home rich to claim his bride. Fine2ng that his wife bed re-married, he brought a suit for divorce. He alleged that the rumours of his death had been startcd by his wife herself, and that she had never made any in..3uiries respecting him. The wife admitted the marriage with Price, but claimed that she had done sae believing that Cort.lier was dead; that he had abandoned her for a number of years, during all of which she had no tidings of him. The case was referred to a referee, who reported in favour of plaintiff. To this report the defendant took exceptions. It was claimed that plaintiff bad no standing in court, the well known rule of equity requiring a suitor to come into court with clean hands, having no application in this case, inasmuch as he had abandoned his lawful for 15 years, and only took the present steps for malice. The plaintiff denid that he had abandoned his wife, but claimed that they had been regularly separated in pursuance of an agreement between them before the marriage took! place. The judge directed that the report of the referee must be confirmed, and granted a divorce to plaintiff.
