XONEY MARKET.' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE o'CLocE. The Discount Market continues very steady, with a fair amount of business. Four per cent. seems to be the general rate for three months' paper, al though occasional business is negotiated on frac tionally easier terms. A further supply of gold, amounting to £60,000, was sent on Saturday to the Bank of England, and a further influx is expected during the current Reek. The advices respecting trade in the manufatur ing districts continue encouraging. Manchester has had on hand large orders for India and China, and manufacturers have refused to transact basi ness, except at advanced quotations. For woollen, linen, and flax goods a brisk demand has been ex perienced at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. Business in the hardware departments of Sheffield, and Wolverhampton has also been very active, the Principal orders being from the agricultural dis tricts, and from foreign governments for gun metal armour plates, &c. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, a ccording to o lair. were 6 Renter telegram, the French 3 per Cent. 67f. Gk.—inanimate. Little, if any, alteration can be noted in con nection with the progress of business in the Eng lish Stock market. The transactions continue on the same limited scale as for some time past, and they do not exercise any apparent influence upon the quotations beyond affording them support. Consols continue at 94 for money, and at 931 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 93: 1, and Exchequer Bills are is. dis. to 2s, prem. Indian Securities are 1081 4 ; the Enfaced 51 per Cents., 1161- Some of the Foreign Stocks slightly declined soon after the commencement of business, but there is now a firmer tone. Turkish Consolides have risen to 502 7 7 ; do., 1858 loan, to 721 ; and the 1862 issue, to 684 691 ; Greek have likewise advanced to 341 ; and the Coupons are 161 1. There has been a rise of about 1 per cent. in the Confederate Loan, which is now 25 23 dis.; Spanish Passive have been dealt in at 34 ; the Italian do. have remained at 27; 1'; and the Certificates are flat at 12'4 ;. Transactions have also taken place in Equador New Consolidated at 161, and in Danish, 1825, Loan, 851 ; Egyptian 7 per Cents. are higher, at 1041 ; and Portuguese are also firm at 481 ; Venezuelan 3 per Cents. continue at 244 ; Russian Securities are rather lower, the loan of 1850 being marked 89, and that of 1862, 921 ; Italian 5 per Cents. are flat at 71!. In the Raiiway Share Market the operations have been limited, a firmer tone, however, has in some instances prevailed. North Western have improved 102., and North Eastern (Berwick) and South Eastern ss. ; while Caledonian and Great Western have each receded about ss. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited inquiry, and quotations are unaltered. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in several in stances are a shade firmer.

New English wheat, in the country markets held on Saturday, sold heavily, and e further reduction took place in the quotations. The inquiry for all kinds of spring was much restricted, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour was dull, on easier terms. Letters from New York state that the wheat and flour trade was dull, and that the amount of business doing for export was very moderate. On the continent the trade generally is flat. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were far from extensive. The imports from foreign ports comprised 40,110 quarters of wheat, 5,454 barley, 37,892 oats, 605 beans, 2,047 peas, 2,922 linseed, 2,286 oilseeds, 12,164 maize, 420 sundry seeds, 125 sacks and 25,957 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up t ) this morning's market was somewhat in excess of last week, and the quality and condition of the whole of the produce were most satisfactory, The crop in this country being now ascertained to be very abundant, combined with the heavy import of foreign wheat and Hour, produced a very heavy trade both for red and white qualities, and factors were compelled to submit to a further decline of fully ls. per quarter in order to effect sales, There were a few buyers from Yorkshire in the market, The show of foreign wheat on the stands, both ex ship and ea granary, was large. All descriptions met a dull in quiry, and prices were is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last. There was a considerable number of floating cargoes of grain on offer, and the demand ruled heavy on rather easier terms. The supply of new English barley was small—of old foreign qualities very moderate. No material change took place in the value of any descriptions, but the inquiry was far from active. Malt sold heavily at about stationary prices. The market was well supplied with oats, and all descrip- tions were in heavy request, at a decline of 6d. per quarter. There was a parcel of new beans on sale on the Kentish stands, in very fine condition, Old samples—the supply of which *as small—moved off heavily, at about previous rates. Ihe shew of peas on offer was very moderate, yet the demand ruled inactive, at late quotations. The flour trade was very dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency. There was a large supply of barrels on offer. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

In the private contract market a fair business has been done in English wool, at full quotations. The import last week was 3,362 bales from Sydney ; 505 Port Philip; 968 Swan River; 3,856 New Zealand; 997 Algoa Bay; and 123 bales from Persia. AQUATICS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. DISTURBANCE AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE, --A young man, of gentlemanly appearance, named Frederick Page, was charged with assaulting Mr. James Henderson, at the Opera House, on Saturday night. The complainant stated that on Saturday night he was in the promenade at Mr. Mellon's concert, at the Royal Italian Opera House, Govent-garden, and the prisoner was standing near him. Suddenly the prisoner turned upon him and said " Hold your tongue." Witness asked whom ho was talking to, when the prisoner seized him by the collar, struck him on the nose, and knocked him down, causing his nose to bleed. Mr. Wm. Isaacs was also at the theatre, and saw the com plainant there with several other gentlemen. They were speaking to come females, who were talking rather too loud. l'he defendant in a very rude and ungentlemanly tone told them to be quiet. Complainant merely asked him whom he was talking to, when defendant seized him by the collar and assaulted him as described. He was dressed as a volun teer. Inspector Eccles was on duty in the theatre at the time, and on going to the spot found the complainant with his nose bleeding. He charged the defendant with as assault. Witness tried to get defendant away quietly, seeing that he was the worse for liquor, but ho resisted, and laid his hand on his bayonet saying he would bayonet him. He tried to draw the weapon, but was prevented by a con stable seizing his arm. He then called on other volun teers present to assist him. With the help of some other officers the prisoner was secured and removed to the station house. The prisoner, in defence, stated that he was at the theatre with his two sisters, who were much annoyed by the loud conversation of complainant and his friends. He requested them to desist several times, first politely, but afterwards, he admitted, angrily. The complainant answered him by an abusive expression, and being provoked that such lan guage was used in the presence of his sisters, he seized the complainant by the collar to put him out. Complainant struck him, and he then struck the complainant again. He denied that he was the worse for liquor, but he was much excited by the provocation he had received. Complainant here called another witness, a Mr. Smith, who corroborated the former evidence, and insisted that the offensive expressions mentioned by defendant could not be used by complainant but by the defendant himself. Com plainant was certainly a little the worse for liquor, and so, indeed, was witness. _ _ Mr. Henry—Then that expression might have been used, and you might have forgotten it ? The defendant called Mr. Nicholson, a friend who had met him at the theatre, and who confirmed his version of the case. He admitted, however, that defendant was a little the worse for liquor. Mr. Henry said the prisoner had behaved in a manner highly unbecoming in a volunteer, especially when dressed in uniform. No doubt he would have acted differently had he been sober. But drunkenness, again, was a bad defence for a volunteer to rely upon. Nothing could ex cuse the resort to blows in a theatre, which was sure to lead to great disturbance. He must pay £5 or be impri soned, for two months. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. 1081 S 11 10Si i 10i i There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale in to-day's market. The quality of the beasts was inferior; but there were some very useful sheep and calves on offer. Sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. The arrivals of beasts from our ON7n grazing districts were large as to number, but their general quality was by no means good. Prime breeds, therefore, commanded a steady inquiry at prices quite equal to Monday last. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances the currencies had a drooping tendency. It is necessary to observe that there were no prime Scots on offer, the receipts from Scotland having ceased for the preseat. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 3,000 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of England 600 various breeds, and from Ireland 400 oxen and heifers. 103 i 04& 5 We were again well supplied with sheep, but there was a falling cif in the general condition. Good and prime Downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale at full quotations. All other breeds moved off slowly on rather easier terms. 104 i 113* i Prime lambs supported the recent advance in price, but inferior breeds declined 4d per 81b, with a heavy demand. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly at late rates. The demand for pigs was heavy on former terms. Per blb. to sink the offal. s. d. s• d. s. d. s. d.

These interesting sports commenced last Monday, and consisted of prizes for yachts, luggers, yawls, and gigs. What added to the interest of the occasion vas the presence of It. Bain'a celebrated Lambeth crew to contend for the various prizes open to all nations. The first was a four oared race, for which five crews put in an appearance. The lead was taken by the English, who maintained it through out, and won easily by six lengths—a very spirited crew from Rotterdam being second. On Tuesday a four-oared gig-race was won by Bain's crew in a similarly easy man tier. A grand race of honour for 2,000 francs, open to all strangers, was next on the list, and for which the Lambeth crew entered ; but only two boats putting in an appearance at the starting •post, the prize, according to the conditions, was withheld. Thunder and lightning with heavy rain prevailed during both days. Bain's crew, after receiving the congratulations of the committee and the English residents in Antwerp, left that city on Wednesday, by the Baron Osy, en route for Folkestone Regatta. Unfortunately, they were caught in the severe gale of that evening, but the skill and seamanship of Captain Ferguson and crew overcame all difficulties, and the Lambeth men, after receiving every kindness and attention on board the steamer, arrived safely at Folkestone early on Friday morning. FOLKESTONE REGATTA-FRIDIY. The annual regatta is always a day on which business is made subservient to pleasure at Folkestone, all classes making it the real holiday of the year. The South-Eastern Railway Company also added very considerably to its im portance by running excursion trains at Very low fares, be sides being liberal contributors to the funds of the regatta. On entering the town it presented a gay appearance, flags flying in all directions, the ships in the harbour and those lying off in the Channel being similarly decorated. The harbour station of the South-Eastern Railway was com pletely covered with bunting, and the Rcyal Pavilion Hotel over the principal entrance displayed the English, French, Turkish, and Danish flogs, whilst the bells in the old church rung out merry peals throughout the day. At one o'clock all the shops were closed, and business was en tirely suspended. Three military bands were in attendance ; that of the sth Fusiliers being stationed on the Pavilion lawn, that of the 83d Regiment on the west cliff, and the 78th Highlanders, with their pipers, on the beach, and the whole delighted the company throughout the day with some very choice music. One of the South-Eastern Railway company's large steamers was in attendance, and made frequent trips to sea for the gratification of the company, by which she was crowded, giving them every opportunity of viewing the regatta. The day was beautifully fine, and the consequence was that the attendance was very numerous on the beach, where every provision had been made to minister to the comforts of the visitors. Some minor events having been deciled, they were fol lowed by the principal contests of the day, viz.— A race by six -oared wager galleys, specially built of wood, and the usual fastenings ; not to exceed 40 feet in length, or less than 32 feet. The first prize was £25, the second £6, and the third £4. The entries were : EvA, OF LONDON. 1. E. Carter. 2. A. Hopkins. 3. G. Gruen. 4. W. Bell. 5. J. I‘l ackinney. It, Bain, stroke. J. Hill, cox.

The Comet of Folkestone, the Rifle of Brighton, and the Anne of Brighton, also entered. From the commencement the London boat had the ad vantage, and this was maintained throughout. After a very spirited contest, the race terminated in favour of the London crew by six lengths, the Wasp being second, and the Anne third. The Comet, of Folkestone, gave up before the completion of the race, a hich was rowed in 20 minutes; considered to be very rapid. _ This was followed by a race by Four-oared Wager Gal leys, not exceeding 30 feet in length. First prize, £.5; second, £5 ; and third, £3. The following boats were entered : 1. G. Green. 2. W. Bell. EVA, OP LONDON. I 3. J. Mackinny. R. Bain, stroke J. Hill, cox. .ARIEL. 1. G. Wenman, 2. A.

The betting at starting on both occasions was 6 to 4 on Tagg against Bain's crew. After a very spirited contest the London crew won by eight lengths, the Ariel being second, the Lord Warden third, and the St. Leonards fourth. The Sylph gave up. The others were not placed. The entire proceedings gave the most unqualidtd satis faction. .............. The boats used by the Lambeth crew were built by Mr. E. Wyld, of Lambeth. MR. ADAM BLACK, we are glad to learn, is devoting his leisure to the study of the law of copyright as regards both literature and art, previously to bringing forward a bill on the subject after the meeting of Parlia ment. EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT.—On Thursday, as the groom of a Leith merchant was airing a spirited young mare on the sands at Leith she stumbled in a hole, threw the rider, and ran off. This happened to the east of the targets. The mare immediately took to the sea, and waded eastward for nearly a mile, evading the numerous people who attempted to catch her. When she came near the shore she again turned and went into deep water, and swam for a considerable distance, and nothing but her ears were visible above the water. It was supposed by the spec tators that she would have been drowned ; and had it not been for the exertions of a young man in the employment of Mr. Cockburn, dairyman, Leith, who was passing on the road with a eartloal of bricks from Portobello, who un yoked his horse and rode down to the sands, went into the sea, and succeeded in catching the mare, there is no doubt that the animal would have perished.—Seotstnan. SUPPOSED FOUL PLAY AT NEWTON.—On Friday, as a number of gentlemen were otter hunting with the harriers belonging to Mr. Josiah Harris, of Ess.hill, at the Sandford Orleigh Marshes, the body of a man between 50 and 60 years of age, was seen floating in the water. In formation having been given to the police, the body was removed by Police-constable M'Ternan to the Union Inn, at Teignrace. The appearance of the body is stated to war rant the belief that the deceased was severely beaten and afterwards thrown into the water. There ale various rumours afloat at to how the man came by his death; but up to 10 p.m. last evening the body has not been identified. jr este, n NOY /Vetcs. PROGRESS or MORMONI3M.—This year has been a very fruitful one for the Mormon elders i n foreign lands. While our people have been engaged by civil war, these vagabonds have been busy proselytising among the ignorant of all the nations of Europe. The Mormons now boast of having a r,presentation from every civilised nation on earth. No less than ten thousand souls ha nr cross the plains this year.—Lcarcreworth. Bulletin. THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND. —For some time past the weather has been highly, favourable to the growing crops. During the week the occasionally strong sunshine has been varied with genial showers, which, while refresh. log the pastuee, have not interfered with the harvest opera tions that are now being vigorously prosecuted all over the lowland districts. For the past fortnight the atmosphere in the evening has been keen and frosty, showing tokens of a speedy change in tho remarkably tine weather which we have c'nioYed fee so long a time.—so24ll;,l4, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A FEMALE,—James Sullivan, a French polisher, of 6, Little Denmark-street, was charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Mary Murphy, residing in the same house. From the evidence of the complainant, whose head was bandaged, it appeared that on Saturday evening an alterca tion had taken place between her husband and the prisoner, and some time after, while descending the stairs to look for something her husband had dropped in the passage, the prisoner seized her and dragged her down two flights of stairs, and got her on the ground. The prisoner then gave her some violent blows on the head with a flat-iron, and the prisoner's wife kicked the complainant in a savage manner about the body. The complainant called "murder," and the police came to her assistance. Sergeant Vernon, 15 F, said that on going to Little Denmark-street he found the complainant bleeding pro fusely from two wounds on the bead. On being told the prisorer had done it he went up to his room, and as he re fused to come on., he burst the door open and tool: the pri soner into custody. He afterwards took the injured woman to the hospital, where her wounds were dressed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he should remand the prisoner for a week, that it might by that time be seen whether the complainant was free from danger. The prisoner was remanded. Owen Sullivan, a rough fellow, was charged with assault ing Wm. Nelson, 195 C. The prisoner was making a great disturbance, and on being requested to desist by the constable, he struck him three violent blows in the month, and kicked and bit him. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for seven days. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY or JEWELLERY, &C., BY A NURSE.—Caroline Liddle, a stout, matronly-looking woman, was charged be fore Mr. Selfe with the following robberies : Charles Blenzard, 6, Caledonian-terrace, Chelsea, stated that for the last fortnight the prisoner, who was a lodger in the house, was engaged by his wife, who was . recently con fined. On Saturday last he told the prisoner to go to the mangling-woman for some things that had been sent to her. He went with the prisoner for the things and found that they had not been left. On his return home he made a search, when he missed a pair of boots belonging to his wife. She had also lost several articles of wearing apparel. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the witness stated that one of his lodgers had been robbed to a great extent. The lodger, named Raymond, stated that during the last two months he had lost a silver rattle, a gold ring, several articles of wearing apparel, &c. The things were in a press in the back parlour. Mr. Selfe asked if any of the articles had been found. A police-constable produced several pawnbrokers' tickets, which he observed he thought referred to some of the pro perty stolen. Mr. Blenzard said that the prisoner stated that she had stolen some of the property, and that if she had time she would restore what she had pawned. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. THE GERMAN MERjIaNT - ;. , ll THE GERMAN CYP • RlANS.—Three women of the town, natives of Germany, were brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing in gold, the moneys of Julius Castor, described as a merchant, of No. 54, Rupert-street, Haymarket. Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, defended the prisonrs, whose names were on the police sheet, as follows :—Eleanor Bosselman, aged 29, Christiana Greeurvell, 29, and Louisa Stoolmaker, 20. It appeared from the evidenc3 of Wm. Chandler, 117 H, that on Saturday night the prosecutor came to the station-house in Leman-street, Whitechapel, and said he had been robbed of £7 in gold in a most infamous house, No. 1, White Horse-court, Rosemary lane, to which place he had been taken by a woman. From the description given he apprehended Bosselman in the Minories, and Castor said she was the woman who took him to the house. He apprehended the other prisoners the same night, at 12, Lambeth-street, and Castor identified them as having entered the room to which ho was taken by Bosselman, and that they took away his clothes and robbed him of his gold. Mr. Beard—l am instructed they robbed him of nothing. Chandler—l have no doubt the prisoners plundered Castor of his gold. They rub every one they can decoy into their haunts. Mr. Beard—The prosecutor is not here. Ibis ashamed to come after his adventure of Saturday night. Chandler—l have seen the prosecutor since the prisoners have been in custody. He said that being locked up two nights and a day was punishment enough for being robbed of 17. The inspector wishes me to call your attention to the infamous character of the house No. 1, White Horse court, Rosemary-lano. Many robberies and outrages have been committed there. Mr. Woolrych said that was a matter for the interference of the parochial authorities. As there is no prosecutor, the prisoner must be discharged. STORMS.—The Courrier du Bas•Ehin states that within the last few days violent storms have pre vailed in the valley of the Rhine, by which considerable damage has been caused. They broke over Coblentz on the 10th, 13ruchsal on the 14th, and Strasburg on the 16th and 17th. In the neighbourhood of the latter place the hail was exceedingly violent, and in several communes the tobacco plantations suffered severely. Rain had been greatly desired by the agriculturists, and, where it has not been accompanied by hail, the storms have been of great benefit to the vines, hops, and vegetables. In the pala tinate, the hailstones were in some places of the size of pigeons' eggs, and vegetation was entirely destroyed. At Bochingen two men were killed, buried beneath a cottage which was blown down. At Bruchsal large pieces of ice fell, and the windows and tiles of the houses were broken near Coblentz the fields were strewed with birds killed by the hail, and a similar fact is mentioned as hav ing occurred in the neighbourhood of Strasburg. A vio lent hurricane, accompanied by lightning and torrents of rain, broke over the town of Macon (Saone -et-Loire), three days ago, and caused great damage. The church steeple was thrown down, several houses stripped of their roofs, and the produce of the gardens in many places de stroyed. The storm, imp e l led by en orth wind, proceeded in the direction of the Beaujolais, but it by degrees left its violen'L character, and subsided into a fall of rain, which greatly lenfitcd she vineyards.

The following is a summary of the railway pro ceedings of the week :—At the half-yearly meeting of the London and North-Western the report of the directors was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 43 per cent. per annum declared; a special vote was passed, empowering the directors to expend £154,000 on new works, and to place £252,000, expended up to the 30th of June in the improvement of the permanent way, to a separate and distinct head. At an adjourned special general meeting, the directors were autho rised, in conjunction with the Great Western board, to create and issue, for the Birkenhead Railway, additional capital to the amount of £474,178 in 41 per cent. perpetual preference shares of £lOO each, the interest to be payable half-yearly. The half-year's working of the South- Eastern shows a net balance of £168,559 available for dividend on the ordinary consolidated stock of the company. The directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 43 per cent. per annum, the payment of which will leave a balance of £l3O to the credit of current account. At the half-yearly meeting of the South Yorkshire a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. was declared, and at a special meeting the directors were authorised to raise £260,000 on 5 per cent. preferential shares. The Right Hon. J. Parker retires from the chair, and will be suc ceeded by the Hon. W. G. Eden. The Vale of Neath will pay a dividend at the rate of 31- per cent. per annum, with a balance of £276, and the Dublin and Drogheda a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, with a balance of £348. The Staines, Wokingham, and Woking will pay a dividend of 4s. per share, being at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, with a balance of £34. The Great southern and Western (Ireland) have de clared a dividend at the rate of 43- per cent. A( the adjourned special meeting of the London, Til bury, and Southend, a letter was read from the lessees of the line withdrawing their offer of 43- per cent. in perpetuity, guaranteed by the Great Eastern and Blackwell Railway Companies, in lieu of their present personal guarantee of 6 per cent. for a period of 12 years. The withdrawal of the offer was based on the fact that a strong express sion of feeling had been given by the proprietors against the substitution of a 4$- per cent. guaran tee in perpetuity for the 6 per cent. dividend now paid. A requisition was numerously signed call ing upon the directors to convene a general meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of nominating a committee of investigation to inquire into the present condition and future prospects of the company. At the half- yearly meeting of the Midland Company a dividend at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum was declared ; and a resolution passed, authorising the expenditure of £150,000 on rolling stock, &c. The Bristol and Exeter directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, with a balance of £1,596. The half-year's working of the Rhymney will admit of a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent. The directors of the Metropo litan recommend a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. The directors state in their report that, owieg to the want of a station near the centre of the City, and to the insufficiency of locomotive power and suitable carria es, the local traffic has not yet been developed, and that none of the through traffic from other lines has been carried over the rail way. The South Devon have a balance on the half year's 'working sufficient for a payment of a dividend of 18s. per cent. on the ordinary stock of the company. At the half-yearly meeting of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Campany, a dividend at the rate of 4-3 per cent. was declared, and the direc tors were authorised to expend £70,000 on works during the next 6 months. The half yearly report of the Cork and Kinsale Junction states that the traffic for seven weeks, since the opening to Kinsale, is encouraging, inasmuch as the receipts for that period had covered the working expenses, provided for the payment of interest on debentures, and left a small balance. The Taff Vale will pay a divi dend of 9 per cent. per annum. The directors of the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction state in their report that the directors of the Taff Vale Company have offered to undertake the maintenance of the line Laid works, and the entire management, and pay the Llantrissaut Company 5 per cent. per an num on their share capital of £40,000, and the interest on their debentnre debt. The agreement is to commence with the opening of the railway, which will shortly be ready for traffic, and to be in force for ten years. The Llantrissaut board recom mend the proprietors to adopt those terms. The Dublin and Belfast Junction will pay a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum, ferrying forward a balance of £1,851.

CAUGHT AND CAGED.—In this city the substi tutes for draughted men are kept in a large room in Marble-block in the second storey, and are strongly guarded. The guard carry Springfield muskets loaded with cartridges, in which the powder is topped by a bullet and several buck shot. Any attempt at skedaddling" would be prettysure to result in a wounded substitute—or a dead one. When ever one of them wants to go about town on any errand, he is accompanied by one—generally two—armed soldiers. It is not the policy to let a large number of substitutes accumulate here. As soon as they have been provided with uniforms they are quietly taken off in squads of six to 20 to the cars, and sent to the conscript camp at New H a ven.—Hartfo , d Times. SINGULAR CHARGE OF MURDER.--At the Liver pool Police-court on Friday a man named Richard Hall Garratty was charged with having stolen a shawl, and also with having shot a magistrate in Ireland in 1845. Eliza Huckle stated that she cohabitated with the prisoner, and then went on to say—" He came home one night between 11 and 12 o'clock, when we were living in William.. street, Birkenhead, and he said to' me, Fletty,' says he, I am very unhappy; can I trust a secret with you ?' Yes,' said I, you may trust your life with me. * Well, then,' said he, I shot a man! " Good God,' said I, ' Dick, you shot a man ! ' and he said, Yes, it was a magis trate—his name was Bell,' " Witness here said " that Bell has been ringing in my ears ever since. I have been away from the prisoner twice, but Bell's ghost so haunted me I was obliged to go back to him." Witness continued —The prisoner said the reason he shot the man was that a piece of land was taken away from an old man by Mr. Bell. That he (prisoner) and others drew lots who should shoot Mr Bell, and that the lot fell to him. The deceased was shot near Clones, and the pistol used was afterwards buried in a hedge. Maale, an Irish detective officer stationed in Liverpool, produced a file of the Irish Rue and Cry, in which an advertisement appeared offering a reward of £lOO for the apprehension of the murderer of George Bell Booth, a magistrate, as he was returning from church on the 9th of July, 1845. Huckle said she dreamed that the prisoner shut some one, and she "carried hint in her eye until he divulged it." A general remand wee granted. SECOND EDITION. UN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

From the time tit his arrival till the moment of his departure he has played the part of confidential agent of the Confederate Government of South America, and such has been the tact and abilit y w i t h whieh he has worn the mask, that scarce one of those who held most familiar converse with him had, up to the last moment, the slightest suspicion of its reality. Tha local authorities appear to have fallen victims to the hoax played by " Captain Fisher" as completely as the least informed of those who made his acquaintance. He was lionized by a large section of the respectable townspeople, and hotel proprietors felt themselves honoured by being permitted to hold him their debtor. " Captain Fisher" also appears to have had a sort of prescriptive right to the use of everybody else's property, be the same an overcoat, an opera glass, a Malacca cane, or a £lO note, it mattered not. Suddenly, however, "Captain Fisher," confidential agent to the Confederate Government withdrew his presence in a manner most unceremon ous from amongst his large circle of Queenstown acquaint ances and admirers—fortunately for himself, just in time to escape the consequences of the denouinent which was impending. On Saturday morning he left his hotel with one gentleman's coat on his back and another gentle- man's valuable glass in his hand—merely to speak for a moment with a captain on business, and leaving in structions, should any one inquire for him, that he would be back at nine o'clock sharp. The term nus of the Direct Railway, however, chanced to fall in his way within the hour stipulated, and " Captain Fisher" found it more convenient to proceed to Cork than to return to meet the numerous friends who would, doubtless, be anxious to say good morning to him at the hotel. The transit thence to the terminus of the Great Southern and Western Rail. way was easy and natural, and so the quasi Confederate agent departs—whither no one knows—leaving, as a small souvenir of his distinguished patronage, sundry little bills (the least amounting to £l2) due at the several hotels and other establishments which he had frequented during his stay. The cat now escapes from the bag, and some . little inquiry results in the discovery that he has played a game at Liverpool (where he was known as Captain Gor don), Belfast, and other places with scarcely inferior success.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.—The geological survey made considerable progress during the last year ; 2,430 square miles were surveyed in Great Britain ; the publica tion of the maps proceeded, and memoirs were issued illus trating the geology of the Isle of Wight and the country round Bolton-le-Moors. In Ireland the new ground exa mined amounted to about 1,028 square miles ; four new numbers explanatory of the maps were issued. The sur veyors were also engaged on the re-examination of the districts of igneous rocks running from Wicklow into Waterford. Of the Royal school of mines, formerly called the Government school of mines, Sir Roderick Murchison reports satisfactorily. Statistical records of all our lead mines, carefully prepared, now extend back to 1768. Since 1545 every sale has been recorded. The production of copper and tin mines is regularly registered, an d the statistics of copper mining are now c om pl ete from 1815, and those of tin since 1852. The estimated value (at the place of production) of the coal and metals produced in the United Kingdom in 1861 was £34,602,8a3. The results elicited by the Exhibition were very encourag ing to all who take an interest in the Royal School of Mines. The pupils were foremost a - hong the champians of the great industrial contest. The new industry of coal -tar colours is generally admitted to have been the most str king feature in the department chymistry, and this industry ema nated directly from the laberatory of the Royal School of Mines; Mr. Perkin, Dr. Medloek, Messrs. Nicholson, Maule and Simpson, to whose exertions the colossal development of these branches of chymical manufacture is chiefly due, re ceived their chymical education from Dr, Hoffman in this in stitution. The foreign jurors bore testimony to the accuracy of delineation in the maps and sections of the department, and the order and arrangement of the museum; and it was from this that so many valuable donations were offered to the museum of Signor Sella, recently Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Italy, himself a distinguished mathema tician and crystallographer, and employed by his Govern ment to visit the mining and geological schools and esta blishments of Europe, with a view to the formation of a geological survey of Italy, writes in an official report, " England is, without doubt, the country where geological maps are prepared with much greater accuracy than in any other land. The singular importance of her mining indus tries' the spread of the elementary principles of geology, the zeal applied by the geologists charged with these labours, and the precision of their works have been so ac oorcplished that few undertakings of the British Govern ment have so much contributed to the benefit of the public as the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom." ARCH4EOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES AT CHESTER. — The remains of a very fine Roman bath, or temple of health, has, within the past few days been disovered at Chester. We.gather from a contribution to the Chester Chronicle that if the size of the building may be judged by these remains, and a calculation made, ba•ed on the theory that the building was in the shape of parallelogram, it would lead to the conclusion that the erection was 60ft. wide by I2oft. long. The hypocaust is composed of 120 pillars, cut out of the red sandstone of the neighbourhood, and they do not seem to have suffered much from the effects of heat. The tiles above these pillars, and which would form the floor of the caldarium, are pierced, and placed a few inches apart, and not made of stone the same as the remainder of the floor. A few paces off is a tease atedpavement of a rhall dico•liko pieces of stone, which 60ft. from the hypocaust are the massive foundations and remains of six or seven large columns, eight or nine feet apart ; and strewed about are portions of shaft and richly ornamented capitals. About 36ft. from these columns there have been discovered the remains of anotherr row of pillars of similar magnitude. The space covered by the whole of these columns is about 50ft. or 60ft. These remains tend to show that the building was a very long one, and of con sideral architectural pretensions.
