CITY, TWELVE &GLOM. A little easier feeling is exhibited in the general discount market, where some exceptional transac• tions have again been recorded at 31 per cent. The demand continues moderate, but a large amount of the business is still taken to the Bank of England, Where the mercantile community are enabled to ob tain ace Dmmodation on nearly equal terms to that concede :3. by the private firms and joint-stock banks. The 'Bank of England return, compiled to Wed nesday last, is of a rather favourable character. The bullion, it is true, has been slightly diminished, but a decrease is shown to have taken place in the other securities, the reserve of notes has been augmented, and the active circulation curtailed.

During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Operations in tea have been de- Yerred until the public sales, which commence on Tuesday next. Coffee and cocoa have been in limited favour without change to record in prices. Sugar has in some instances been rather dearer, 'while rice, cocoa, and fruit have been depressed. Tallow has continued in moderate request, and prices have tended upwards for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK, At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. Firm. The monthly return of the Bank of France just issued shows a curtailment of L 790,000 in the bills discounted, of £406,666 in the advances on stocks and shares, and of £984,000 in the current accounts. On the other hand, the bullion has been augmented by £525,000, and the total of bank notes to £200,000 In the Market for the English Funds business has continued very dull, active speculation being avoided.

BOW-STREET, Two Men named Thomas Moore and Michael Vannagan were placed at the bar on remand, charged with having a quantity of stolen property in their possession. _ . _ It will be recollected that these two men were found some days ap Eghtin g in Broad-street, St. Giles's, and on being taken into custody Moore threw away a watch, which had evidently been stolen, and on the road to the station he attempted to swallow a gold locket and chain and two sove reigns and a half. They were remanded on a former occa sion in order to allow the police to make inquiries relative to the prisoners. Ackrill, of the P division, said be had ran doubt about Flannagan having been sentenced to 12 months' imprison ment. Police-constable Sheen, of the B division, said he knew Flannagan to be the constant associate of thieves, he had been sentenced to a short term of imprisonment, but had he known he should have been called en he could have proved a conviction of four years penal servitude. Mr. Lewis (who appeared for the prisoners) said, as nothing of the slightest importance had been found on Flannagan he might be discharged. Mr. Henry—Why, he had £1 6s. in his pocket when he was taken into custody, and I feel no doubt but that both prisoners were quarrelling about the plunder they had secured from the parties who went to the late pugilistic contest. Flannagan—The money was my own. Mr. Henry—lt is very easy to say so. Moore—How can a man swallow a locket with a gold chain to it and two soya. ? Why, the thing is impossible. I didn't steal any of the property. It was all my own. Mr. Henry—The watch had all the appearance of having been stolen, as the ring or bow of it was missing. Flannagan—That might have come off when I dropped the watch. Mr. Henry—That is just possible, but search was made for the missing part and it could not be found. Mr. Lewis--I hope, sir, you will allow Flannagan to be admitted to bail, Mr. Henry— I don't know about that. He had a large sum of money for a man of his appearance in his pocket, and according to my present impression it is part of the plunder that had been stolen on the morning in question. Flannagau—Why, your worship, I often have £2O in ray pocket. Nr, gonry—Your own money f If so, tell me when you had it Me prisoner was silent. Moore--The police have determined to do all they can for me. I say the property is my own, and not the proceeds of a robbery. Police-constable—The conviction against Moore that I alluded to was for a burglary. His companion on that occasion got ten years. I can bring forward an officer who will prove it. Mr. Henry—We must have that circumstance up, and therefore I shall remand both prisoners for a week. As there is some difference in the case against Flannagan, com pared with that of Moore, I will admit him to bail, if he can find two responsible securities for £lO. The bail not being in attendance, both prisoners were lockgd up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY A T THE STAR BREWERY —William Mills, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Lightfoot arid Co., the Star Brewery, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing part of a portable copper pump, the property of his employers. Mr. John R. Day, brewer to the firm, said that on Wed nesday evening he saw part of a portable copper pump secreted under the stairs, and the next morning, di rect l y after the prisoner had left the brewery for breakfast, he went to the place and foun d that it had been removed. Sus pecting the prisoner had ta ken it, he went after him ; and on coming up with him in Crown. street, ask e d hi m whether q he had taken it. At first he said he had not, b u t a f terwards he gave t did u s notue give the pri soner into did. e ntly In answer to Mr. Kno x, Mr. D ay said that the pu m p custodya it up t that o time, him . but il s e b ought to have been three feet longer, and he had no doubt the other part had been taken on a former occasion.

SISTERS IN PROFLIGACY. —M4irtha Summers, a showily dressed street-walker, with a hat and feather, was brought up on a warrant charged with assaulting another person of the same unhappy grade who gave the name of Ann Graham. _ _ _ Complainant said that she must bind the defendant down to keep the peace, as she went in great dread of her. On Saturday week the defendant came to her house and asked for some articles which she claimed, and on being told that they could not be given to her until she restored something in exchange, the defendant flew at her and tore her face. Defendant — You struck me first and tore my veil. C om plainant—l did not. She is always ill-treating me, your worship. She has done so times out of number. Mr. Selfe—How is it then that you have not complained of her before ? complainant—l put up with it because she is my own sb ter. __ Mr. Se lfe—Your own sister ? Complainant—Yes, your Worship, she is, and she ill uses me more than I have ever been used by any one else. She calls me such horrible names that I cannot express — they are so shocking, and on the last day of the last month she followed me, and with another woman, threatened me in Sloane-street, that I was obliged to get a policeman to see me home. The policeman was called and proved the defendant's violent threats to her sister on the night in question, and the necessity of his protecting her. Defendant did not offer any reply. Mr. Selfe fined her 10s. and costs, or ten days, and ordered her to find bail for her future good behaviour. Sho was sent to prison. THAMES. A VILE FELLOW.—George Moulton, a lighterman, of No. 5, Alfred-street, Millwall, appeared before Mr. Part ridge on a summons which charged him with wilfully and maliciously damaging a boat, the property of Mr. John Hawkins, a master lighterman and barge owner, of No. 4, Augusta-place, Lower-road, Rotherhithe. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, stated the case for the prOsecu• tion. He Could not conceive anything more vile than the wanton destruction of property. The defendant, who was a person of ill-conditioned mind, was formerly employed by the complainant to navigate barges on the river, and to put them in and out of the various docks. On one occasion de fendant allowed the barges in his care to go adrift, which put Mr: Hawkins to great expense. This scandalous neglect led to the defendant's dismissal, and he resolved on a mean and petty revenge. On the 29th of last month Mr. John Hawkins, jun., the complainant's son, took his father's boat to the entrance of the south dock, West India dock, an d left it there between 11 and 12 o'clock at noon. It was properly secured. Shortly afterwards, Mr, Henry Haw kins, another of the complainant's sons, observed the defendant in the boat with a hitcher (a long and thick staff with an iron hook at one end) with which he evidently struck the bottom of the boat. The boat-hook, or hitcher, was driven right through the boat and the water rushed in. Mr. Henry Hawkins asked the prisoner what he meant by such a mischievous proceeding, and he had the audacity t o deny it. Evidence was called in support of the solicitor's state ment, and Mr. Henry Hawkins, the complainant's son, stated that he distinctly saw Moulton drive his boathook through the flooring of the boat. The complainant said the cost of repairing the damage caused by the defendant was £l, and he (Mr. Hawkins) firmly believed the defendant acted as he had done because he was discharged for gross negligence. The defendant stoutly denied having injured the boat, and called George Finnis, a lighterraan, who said that Mr. Henry Hawkins could not see what was going on in the boat from the spot where he stood. In eross- - examination by Mr. Stoddart, the witness ad mitted that he saw the complainant's boat. li 2 c o i° s More Hef or fin the ed thequitedamage defendant efen d da n n e t t 2 o os t , h an e b d o e a r t_ de i r i e i d a h ll imto pay 40s, and in def a ult t o be imprisoned for 21 days. duel at Blois between RM.—Figaro reports a sad FATAL DUEL IN P t day after the races, wh en Pi t e h r e re c . onversatio n turned on a rib bon worn in the hats of MessrLs.a two Young cavalry officers, and talL ie Messrs.

Nor is there any serious difficulty at stake not only as regarded our own but future in organising this force. In the South, unlike the generations, I regarded it as most imperative that North, the relations between the white man and the the force should be established.

If the discipline of the planta tion is less rigorous than that of the camp, it is nevertheless an admirable preparation for the lat ter, and has moreover the merit of furnishing, ready to hand a class of efficient non-commissioned officers, accustomed to the exercise of delegated authority over those of their own colour, and to the responsibility for their good behaviour. Even the scarcity of arms is no insuperable obstacle. There are, probably, enough of firearms for a select corps of negroes, already familiar with their use; and as for the others, it may be doubted whether they would not be more effective in the field with the more primi tive weapons which the blacksmith's shop on every plantation could readily forge out of the imple ments of husbandry. A hundred thousand negro pikemen or scythemen would probably be a more formidable body for immediate service than the same number of raw recruits entrusted with unwonted weapons. There is no doubt, also, that the most of the negro levies would be quickly thrown across the Northern border, where at worst they would have to meet foes no better armed or drilled than them selves. As for the negro's courage, when supported and led by his master, not against him, we have never entertained a doubt. The Confederate negro troops will be as much superior in steadiness and effectiveness to the black levies of the North, as the Sepoys under European officers were to the tnuti nous hordes of Nana Sahib. Besides, what the negro lacks in that intelligence which characterises the white American volunteer, he more than supplies by implicit obedience and insensibility to danger, and he thus possesses the very qualities which professional officers are prone to consider the highest of the soldier. If the military importance of such an enormous accsssion to the numerical strength of the Confederacy is almost beyond adequate comprehension, the political and social aspects ot the measure assume even more gigantic proportions. It is the most complete scheme of emancipation that visionary ever dreamed of, and, though we cannot disguise the terrible danger ot thus subverting at one blow the whole social fabric of a great country, it is undeniable that the experi ment, if it has to be tried, is tried in this form with immensely superior practical prospects, and under fewer disadvantages.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF DuBLI - N.—His grace is sinking slowly. In addition to the ulcer in his leg his grace has been attacked by other maladies calculated to weaken his constitution, which had once been very robust. THE LATE LORD PLUNKET.—An interesting anecdote of the late Lord Plunket, recalled to the narrator by the recent erection of a statue to his memory in the hall of the Four Courts, Dublin, is published. "E. T. M'Donagh," who has furnished Saunders's .News- Lotter with the particulars of that episode, says :• 4 ' When the late Lord Plunket was Attorney-General for Ireland my deceased father had a suit-at-law dragging on its slow length between the Rolls Court and the Court of Chancery. It was at long-run set down for final hearing, and the Right Hon. the Attorney-General was engaged as leader with a fee of £lO 10s., and a brief sent to his house. The opposing leader was the Right Hon, Mr. Laurin; also, Messrs. Crampton and Green (afterwards judges). The cause was two days at hearing. I happened to be at the time in Dublin, and about mid-day walked into the Court of Chancery on the third and last day of hearing. I was then very young and buoyed up with wild enthusiasm of effervescent spirits. I listened for a short time to one of th e opposing counsel (Mr. Crampton), who happened to be ad dressing th e cour t on b e h a lf of the defendants (my f at h er being plaintiff), and without a moment's reflection or pre paration I took from my pocket a small cross, Which I grasped in my r i g ht hand, and a e words, n h oc Si gno Vinci.? on my lips, I stood up and solicited the honour of being heard for a few moments. The court, the bar, and all were taken as if by electricity; the honour I sought for was at once acceded to me, in a sweet, mill voice from the bench, from the lips of a thin, delicate man (Lord Man ners). I was stating the unvarnished tale in so telling a manner, that ono of the defendant's urged on counsel to compel me to sit down, You shall not,' replied Mr. Plow ket, you would do a di sgraceful act the lady must be heard out,' and sure enough I was heard out. At the con clusion of my address my head reeled ; my eyes swam, and the scene before me was chaos—that chaos I shall never forget. On my leaving the gallery from whence I left the court I was met by counsel, who told me a decree was pronounced in any father's favour, and that the Attorney- General wished to see me at his house the next morning before court hour. Oa awakening the next morn ing, the events of the previous day appeared as a dream to me, but on becoming conscious, I was soon on my way to Stephen's-green, where the late Lord Plunket then resided. I was speedily in presence of the great and good man, who jocosely complimented me on my debut at the bar, handed me back his fee of £lO 10s., and told me, 'should I ever require a friend in court to call on him.' My reply was _ God bless you, sir, I hope I shall soon see you Lord Chan cellor.' He sailed that day for England, and when n ext he was in court it was as Lord Chancellor of Ireland." --- -- ---- -- - A singular disturbance took place a fevq days back at Taragona, in Spain, on the occasion of a bull-fight.

One of the most violent and destructive hail storms known for a long series ofyears occurred a little before mid night on Wednesday last in the district of Reading. The storm appears to have broke out in the neighbourhood of East Ilsley, in Berkshire, and then to have taken a north easterly direction, doing in its progress an almost incalcul able amount of mischief. The lighting was forked, and the flashes so vivid that the whole country around was lighted up, presenting a scene of awful grandeur, and the crack ling thunder which followed was quite terrific, arousing many from their slumbers, and producing quite an electri cal effect upon them, At Compton there were eleven sheep killed by lightning in a flock belonging to Mr. John Brown. The storm was heavy at Aldworth, beating down the grow ing crops of barley, bruising and breaking off the ears, and thrashing the corn cut and lying in swathes in the field. Messrs. Hammond, Godfrey, and others, are sufferers to a considerable extent from injury to corn, but fortunately some of them were insured iu the Royal Farmers' Office. At Basildon the storm was equally violent, but great pro gress has been made in the harvest, so that there ware only barley and oats in the field ancarried. Of the uncut barley and oat crop there is scarcely a vestige left that will pay for the trouble of mowing and carrying, so much has it teen knocked about. The storm, or rather tempest--for such it really was—passed on over the Oxfordshire hills and continued to rage with fearful violence, being awful in the extreme. In its course crops were damaged, windows broken, and houses completely deluged. On Thursday morning hail was found in many localities to have drifted along, and cart-loads were thus heaped together, At Mapledurham, Oxon, the hailstones were found to be of enormous size, and the sheaves of beans and oats standing in the fields, were completely thrashed, besides doing immense damage to unmown barley. On the farm of Mr. J. Allaway, in that parish, the hail fell so thickly that at sunrise next morning the ground was still covered with it, presenting all the appearance of a winter's morn ing. The storm passed over Kidmere-end, near Peppard, part of Shiplake, then it proceeded across Wargrave and Ruscombe, going in an easterly course, at each of these places the chief sufferers being farmers. In imams parts there were rabbits, partridges, sparrows, and other small birds discovered to have been killed by the hail. On the whole, a large breadth of barley, oats, and beans appears to have been destroyed, but scarcely any wheat, farmers having, fortunately, carried this portion of their crop, or es e e ta ysecured t he Royale their loss would have been very great.

Lthoefaonrmroffi VIPERS IN FRANCE. —The large incr ease of these reptiles in France, observed of late years, having become serious enough to induce the Government to sug gest to the Councils -General of Departments the propriety of voting a sum of money for their destruction, the follow ing report presented to the Society of Acclimatisation on the subject by M. Leon Soubeiran acquires peculiar interest. The vipers known in France are of three kinds—the vipers pelias, the head of which is covered with smooth laminae instead of scales; the vipera aspis, with scales all over, and a truncated head; and vipera ammodytes, also with a scaly head, but ending in a soft point. Vipers are extremely irascible, and although they usually take to flight at the approach of man, they w ill sometimes attack and pursue him. They sometimes pene trate into houses, and especially dairies, whither they are attracted by the milk. They will visit the sheds where sheep and other cattle are kept, and also baking- oven!, on account of the warmth ; but most frequently they are intro duced into hou ses i n th e f aggo ts used for lighting fires. They re ma i n i n a s t a t e o f t or por during the winter, and make thei r a pp earance aga in in s pring , when they ar e most , forhence the coun , dangerous.

When a person has bee n bit by a viper, a li gature should immedi ately be made a bove the wound t o prevent the absorption of th e virus. The wound should th en be sucked either by the patient himself, or by another person whose mouth is free from any solution of continuity. Then, if the two minute wounds inflicted by the fangs be perceptible, they should be cauterised with a redhot iron ; and it' not, the place should b e r ubbed with ammonia, or else butter of antimony may be a pplied. Internally a glass of brandy may be taken, and even repeated, with good effect. All further treatment must be left to the physician. The viper has many enemies, chiefly crows, storks, hedgehogs, and pigs. The park of Chateau ti ilain (Haute-Marne) being infested with vipers, the pro prietor put some wild boars into it, and in a very short time there was scarcely a viper to be seen. But after the destruction of the reptilee the boars turned 1 heir gastrono mic talents to the investigation of the rich trultie-beds for which the park was celebrated, and committed such havoc therein that the proprietor had all the boars hunted down. Immediately afterwards vipers re-appeared in such fearful numbers that wild boars had again to be introduced. In some departments sums have been granted for their destruc tion. In the Haute-Marne the council of the arrondissement of Chaumont in 1856 voted 1,5001 for the purpose, every head of a viper being paid 50c; the sum, however, proved quire insufficient, the number of vipers killed being 17,415. In 1858 the number was 11,582, and the total amount in six years was 57,045 vipers in that single department. The destruction of this reptile, however, is best effected by favouring the multiplication of crows and pigs.—Galegnait:'.

Fight between an Ichneumon and a Cobra. In a letter to the Madras Times, dated Trichinopoly, July 15, and signed by three officers of the Indian service, we find the following interesting account of a fight between a mongoose or ichneumon and a cobra :—" We think the long vexed question whether the mongoose, on being bitten by the cobra, retires into the jungle and finds some herb as an antidote for the poison, or whether the venom of the serpent produces no effect on the animal, has been at last settled. On Saturday morning last, whilst seated in the messhouse with several officers of the regiment, a servant came and stated that a snake had been seen by one of the guard to enter a hole in the ground close to where the guard was. We immediately sent for a mongoose (a tame one, and the property of an officer), and put him to the hole. He soon began to scratch away the earth, and in half an hour a fine cobra, about a yard long, came forward, with head erect, and hood distended, to attack the mongoose, who seemed to care nothing for the reptile, but merely jumped out of the way to avoid the blows which the snake struck at him. The mon goose unfortunately had just been fed, consequently did not show sufficient inclination to go in at him and kill him ; so we secured the snake and carried him over to one of the offi cer's quarters to have the contest carried out there, after the mongoose should have had a little time to get over his break fast. After a couple of hours rest we placed the cobra in a room, with closed doors (we having in the meantime taken up a secure station in the room fromwhichwe could observe all the movements of the combatants) the mongoose was let in and the fight commenced. The,mongoose approached the cobra with caution but devoid of any appearance of fear. The cobra, with head erect and body vibrating, watched his opponent with evident signs of being aware of how deadly an enemy he had to contend with. The mongoose was soon within easy striking distance of the snake, who, suddenly throwing back his head, struck at the mongoose with tre mendous force. The mongoose, quick as thought, sprung back out of reach, uttering at the same time savage growls. Again the hooded reptile rose on the defensive, and the mon goose, nothing daunted by the distended jaws and glaring eyes of his antagonist, approached so near to the snake that he was forced, not relishing such close proximity, to draw his head back considerably. This lessened considerably his distance from the ground ; the mongoose at once seeing the advantageous opportunity, sprang at the cobra's head, and appeared to inflict as well as to receive a wound. Again the combatants put themselves in a position to renew the en counter, again the snake struck at his wily opponent, and again the latter's agility saved him. It would be tedious to recount the particulars of about a dozen successive rounds, at the end of which time neither combatant seemed to suffer more than the other; We will limit ourselves to describe the final and most interesting encounter. The fight had lasted some three-quarters of an hour, and both combatants seemed to nerve themselves to a final encounter. The cobra c h ang ing his position of d efence for that of attac k, seemed determined now to do or dia.' Slowly on his watchful enemy the cobra advanced; with equal courage the mon goose awaited the advance of his still unvanquished foe. The cobra had now approached so close that the mongoose (owing to want of space behind, was unable to spring out of reach by jumping backwards, as he had done in the previous encounters) nimbly bounded straight up in the air. The cobra missed his object, and struck the ground under him. Immediately on the mongoose alighting, the cobra, quick as thought, struck again, and to all appearances fixed its fangs in the head of the mongoose. The mongoose, as the cobra was withdrawing his head after having inflicted the bite, instantly retaliated by fixing his teeth in the head of the cobra. This seemed to convince the cobra that he was no match for his fierce and watchful antagonist; and now no longer exhibiting a head erect and defiant eye, unfolded his coil, and ignominiously slunk away. Instantly the mongoose was on his retrating f oe, and burying his teeth in hi s brain, at once ended the contest. The mongoose now set to work to devour his victim ; and in a few minutes bad eaten the head and 2 or 3 inches of the body, including the venom so dreaded. We should have mentioned before, that, previous to this encounter,the snake had struck a fowl, which died within half an hour of the infliction of the bite, show ing, beyond doubt, its capability of inflicting a deadly wound. Afte r th e mongoose had satisfied his app e tite,we pro ceeded to examine, with a pocket lens, the wounds which he had received from the cobra; and, in washing away the blood from one of those places, the lens disclosed the broken fang of the cobra imbedded in the head of the mongoose. To discover whether there was any truth in the assertion that the mongoose owes its impunity from the bite of the mos venomous of serpents to its knowledge of a herb which is an antidote to the poison, or whether, on the other hand, a prophylactic exists in the blood of this extraordinary ani mal, rendering it innocuous to the bite of a reptile fatal to all other animals, we have had the mongoose confined over since (now four days ago), and it is now as healthy and lively as ever; but should it in the course of a fortnight show the slightest indisposition, we, in the cause of truth, will not fail to inform you. We consider, therefore, there no longer exists a doubt that in the blood of the mongoose there is a prophylactic, and that the idea that if derives its impunity from a herb is one of many popular errors." INCREASE OF GOLD AND D IMINUTION OF ITS VALUE.—When the American mines were dis covered they added so largely to tbo then scanty stock of gold held by European nations as to increase prices on an average by about 400 per cent.; but the change, large as it was, was scarcely peroeptible at the time, not less than a century having elapsed before prices settled down on their new basis. It may be assumed that the consequences of the new discoveries will r e p eat, in t his resp ec t, th e wo rience of the 16th century; but it wo uld be idl e t o h ug th e belief that the impending revolu t ion is at all less certain, because it promises to be gradual and slow. It will come, if not in our time, in the time of our sons ; and prudent men, in making their provision for the future, will take into account the fact that £l,OOO in the n ext generation will Probably be very much lebs valuable %au £l,OOO nor, SIIIPPING—This Day.

THE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS IN KIRKDA.LE GAOL.—Up to a late hour on Wednesday Captain Gibbs, the worthy governor of the gaol, had not received any intimation from the Home-office with respect to the commutation of the capital sentence in the case of O'Brien, Alvarez, or Thomas, the criminals condemned at the recent assizes. The chaplain of the gaol communicated to Hughes, condemned for the murder of his wife, the unsuccessful re sult of the intercession on his behalf. The unhappy man, who seems truly penitent, did not manifest any surprise, having evidently made up his mind for the worst. The executicris will take place on Saturday uext, at uoon.— LiverPooi Mercury, ~~~s .~ g I
