• - • 4 MONEY MARKET AND COMATPRCIAL INTELLIGENCE. - CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the demand for money in connection with the settlement of the account in Foreign Stocks and railway shares, the discount market continues firm and tolerably active, the average charge for the last three months' bills, among the joint stack and private establishments, being 31 per cont. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £1,100,000, and the exports to only £252,000. There was no material change in the foreign exchange yesterday afternoon. About £194,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Two O'CLOCK. The Paris Turee per Cent. Rentes, this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, opened at 66f. 65c.; flat. There has not been much activity in the market for the English Funds, but sales have been effected in consequence of increased depression on the Paris Bourse, which, taken in conjunction with the state of political affairs on the continent, is regarded as an unfavourable feature. Consols have consequently given way about 3-16ths per cent., viz., to 92/ for money and account. The New Threes and Re duced Annuities are 93 4 ; Exchequer Bills appear a little flatter at par to 2s. prem. ; Indian 5 per Cents. are marked 108/ ; Enfaced, 58 per Cent., 116; and do.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been very limited, and a further slight decline has taken place in prices. Caledonian, North Western, and South Eastern have receded 55., Great Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s., and Great Eastern 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show no change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and in one or two instances are a shade flatter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW •STREET. Elizabeth Haydon was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a gold watch and chain. The prosecutor, the landlord of the Golden Cross, King street, Long-acre, said the prisoner was engaged as a sort of casual servant, and on the day of the robbery she asked permission to go out for half an hour. About half an hour after she had gone the watch and chain, which but a short time before had been safely lying on the drawers in his bed • room, were missing. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, but she never returned to the house. Police constable F 118 said he saw the prisoner on the day of the robbery enter a hansom cab with two men and another woman and drive off. They returned in the evdn ing, but they were very much intoxicated. When hi first saw the prisoner he had no knowledge of the robbery, but on its being made known to hint he immediately took steps to find her. As he was going to her place of residence in Belfordbury he saw her standing at the entrance to Brewer's court, and immediately she saw him she ran up the stairs'of the first house in the court, and upon the land ing of the top flight he succeeded in taking her into custody, When he toad ner he wanted her she replied, " I've not got it." He had not then told her she was suspected of stealing the watch. The prisoner's wale companions were the associates of old and well known thieves. Prisoner—That's false. I wonder you don't sink through the floor for uttering such lies. Mr. Henry—You are sure that you had not told her of the robbery of the watch ? The constable replied that he was certain he had not, The prosecutor said on a former occasion the prisoner said she went home and went to bed after she left his house, The constable now proves that instead of that she was riding about in a Hansom. Mr. Henry remanded the prisoner in order to give the police an opportunity of finding the watch, FORGERY BY A CLERK.—Henry Mudd, formerly a clerk to Mr. Dunn, solicitor, 15, Knight Ryder street, was charged with forging an order, and obtaining goods thereby. The prisoner, it appeared, suddenly lett the services of Mr. Dunn, and in a few days after a boy entered Mr, Kerr's shop in Chancery-lane and presented an order, purporting to be signed by Mr. Dunn, asking that a skin of parchment, with a 355. stamp upon it, and two reams of paper, might be sent to him. As former goocls had been ob tained by fictitious orders, the boy was given a roll of pa , eh ment and some paper, and then watched. He was observed to give it to the prisoner, who was waiting outside, and then he having given the boy a trifle for his trouble, went to a shop in the neighbourhood, and offered the goods for sale. A policeman was called, and the prisoner was given into custody. City police constable 45 said the prisoner had undergone 12 months' imprisonment for a similar offence. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was guilty, and asked the magistrate to settle it summarily. Mr. Henry said he could not do so. It was a charge not only of forgery, but by means of that forgery he had obtained the goods produced. Even without the former conviction, he could not dispose of it. But when the case was taken in conjunction with the former punishment he had undergone it became a very serious one. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. S H OCKING BRUTALITY.- A rough dirty-looking fellow, who gave the address 45, Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following gross cruelty to a dog, Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attend ing to prosecute. James Ashton, clerk at Mrs,Wild's news rooms, Leices• ter-square, said he was in Fowler•street, St. Martin's-lane, yesterday evening about 7 o'clock, when he saw the pri soner hold a small brown dog under the mouth of a large white one, so that the latter might bite the brown one. The prisoner did this about a dozen times, the white dog biting the brown one each time. The brown dog got away from the prisoner and went and laid on its back apparently in great agony, with its eyes dilated. The prisoner ran atter it, brought it back, and again held it to be bitten by the white dog. He (witness) then went for a constable and gave the prisoner in charge; and on making inquires that morning heard that the brown dog was dead. Police-constable Wm. Cosstick, 81 C, said that on going to the spot at the request of the last witness, ha saw a large crowd of rough fellows assembled, a sort of ring formed, and the prisoner in the centre of it setting a little dog on a large one. The large dog seized the other just under its ear, and it cried bitterly, and on his pushing through the crowd to take the prisoner he was about setting it on again. The large dog also received a bad bite on its breast, and was trampled upon, and he was told that it had been killed that morning. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the constable whether he saw what became of the little dog at the time. The constable said that it crawled away, being badly bitten. Prisoner said he only tried to separate them. The constable said that was not true, and the prisoner's conduct was most cruel. Mr. Tyrwhitt sa'd the fact was, the prisoner was one of those savages who inhabited that part of London, and any. :king that inflicted pain on another was a pleasure to them. The prisoner was fined 40s. or a month. WESTMIN:,TER. THE ORCHARD ROBBING NUISANCE.—MichaeI Carroll, a boy 13 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with robbing a gentleman's garden, and aiding others in an intolerable nuisance. Mr. Keysell, a gentleman residing at 335, Fulham-road, said that he had been much annoyed of late, and it had become perfectly unsafe for his family to walk in his garden in consequence of the bricklats that were constantly flying about it, caused by persons throwing at his fruit trees. It had at length reached to such an abominable height that ht, had been obliged to seek the assistance of the police, and the consequence was the prisoner's capture. Enoch Pulford, -71 V, said he was concealed in the garden yesterday, when he saw prisoner throw eight brick bats at an appletree, and tnen come into the ground and pick up the fruit he had knocked down. He was taken into custody with it in his possession. Prisoner's father came forward and said he was a good hardworking boy, who was very easily led into trouble by any one. Prisoner said he was a good boy, and got Gs. per week. He was at work in the neighbourhood where he was taken, Mr. Keysell observed that he had been cAutioned by his employers and by others, but nothing prevented him coming to the garden. The damage done was considerable, but he did not wish the boy severely punished. Mr. Selfe was about to pass a light sentence, when he was informed that the prisoner had been before convicted of a similar offence at Hammersmith Police-court. Mr. Selfe said that altered the case materially, and fined defendant 125., besides the value of the fruit, or 14 days. IREL AND, DUBLIN, July 31• The inauguration of the New Atlantic Mail Steam Packet Company took place yesterday on board the Adriatic in Kingstown harbour under the most auspicious circumstances. This magnificent vessel, which has been lying in the harbour since Saturday, has been visited by great numbers, and, from her size and be :uty, and the fit ness and excellence of all her arrangements and appointments, she has excited universal admiration. Yesterday a sumptuous banquet was given by the directors to the Lord - Lieutenant of Ireland, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, several peen;s, and a large number of our leading gentry and merchants, representing all churches, pries, and interests. It would be difficult to get together in Dublin a m )re influential assemblage on any sub ject, nor could an entertainment have been got up with a more liberal spirit, in better taste, or have passed off in a more satisfactory manner. Every thing was of the best, and the supply most profuse The weather was all that could be desired for a fete on ',nerd ship, and no ship could furnish better accommodation for such a purpose. Lord Carlisle arrived at Kingstown at half-past 1 o'clock, and was received at the landing -steps of the Royal St. George Yacht Club by Captain De Conroy and Lieutenant Bolton, of her Majesty's ship Aj ix, by whom he and his suite were conducted to the Pinnace of the Ajax. The blue-jackets gave the customary salute by tossing oars. Oa the arrival of the pinnace opposite the Ajax a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired, and the yards were manned. The guests who had by this time arrived on board the Adriatic had a fine opportunity of witnessing the pretty nautical spectacle of a stately man of war, covered from trucks to lower yard arms by her brave crew, cheering lustily and waving their hats. His Excellency was received on board the Adriatic by Mr. John Chapman, chairman of the company, Sir John Gray, Atdermon Reynolds, and others of the directors, and Captain Nicholson, the commander; the band of the 11th Regiment, which was sta tioned on deck, playing the National Anthem. Tne dejeuner was laid out in splendid style in the mag nificent saloon. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Chapman, chairman of the company, having on his right the Lord• Lieutenant, and on his left the Lend Mayor, Lord Clancarty, Lord Clonbrook, and Mr. William I)argan. The health of the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, having been proposed in appropriate terms and duly honoured, the Chairman gave " the Lord-Lieutenant and prosperity to Ireland," remarking that his family had been deeply indebted to Lord Carlisle, and that the sunniest days of his life were those of his boy hood, when ho was driven through the majestic groves of Castle Howard. He regarded it as an extraordinary circumstance that now, a white haired man, he was there proposing his lordship's health as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. The toast was received with enthusiasm. In responding, Lord Carlisle said:— "I do not forget that it is not open to me to take any credit to myself or to my colleagues in the Imperial Go vernment for whatever merit may be justly due to those who originally set on foot the undertaking. It is no part of our present Luriness, however, to refer to the contests or controversies of the past, and I fully subscribe to the philosophy of the old motto, All's well that ends well.' With respect to the future, I yield to no one in the heartiness of my wishes for the complete suc cess of the undertaking, and I am sure that the proceedings of the company could not have been better inaugurated than on board the magnificent vessel in w hich we are now assem bled—this sumptuous ocean palac e, i n which I am only too proud to discharge the function assigned of old to the Doges of Venice—of wedding the State to our new Adriatic. (Loud applause.) May all happy i n fl uences fl ow from this auspicious connexion ; safe be your voyages, pro pitious your winds, large your cargoes, skilful your captain active and healthy your crews, and remunerative your re turns; and if I may express any further wish distinct from the internal affairs and functions of the company itself, it would be that when this noble vessel has sped its useful and civilising errand across the Atlantic, may it bring back to us the joyful tidings that the blood of our brethren had ceased to flow in murderous conflict, and th a t th e nat i ons and races once more repose iu peace." (Applause.) Lord Carlisle then Proposed, in complimentary terms, the health of the chairman, which was re ceived in the warmest manner, and acknowledged in a lively and effective speech. Other toasts followed, after which the assembly broke up, some of the company remaining for a dance on deck in the evening, to.which many ladies were invited. Altogether, the inauguration of the Galway line was a very peasant affair, Transportation to the Australian Colonies. An influential meeting of Australian colonists and others was held yesterday at Willis's-rooms, King street, St. James's, to consider that portion of the report of the royal commission on secondary punish ments which recommended transportation to Wes tern Australia,--Sir Charles Nicholson occupying the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the commission on secondary punishments had recommended that all male convicts who were not disqualified for removal to a colony, should be sent to Western Australia during the latter part of their punishment, and adverted to the alarm and indig nation with which an announcement by the impe rial goverutnent of their intention to carry out such a recommendation would bo received through out Australia. The whole colonists were strongly opposed to transportation to Western Australia. because as the convicts would, after a time, either obtain absolute freedom or conditional pardons, they would, as a matter of course, find their way to the older colonies, and tend to increase the insecurity to life and property which now unhappily existed. If this odious system were carried out it would not only cause great excitement in the colony, but pro. duce a strong feeling of resentment towards the imperial government ; and though the colonists were as loyal as any of her Majesty's subjects he believed that they would through their legis latures, adopt some retaliatory measures which would be in derogation of the royal prerogative, and all loyal subjects of the British Crown would deeply deplore. He therefore trusted that they would unite iu making the most energetic representations on the subject at the foot of the throne or to her Majesty's highest and most responsible advisers. (Cheers.) Sir STUART DONALDSON, as an old colonist, not only endorsed what had fallen from the chairman, but thought that the adoption of the recommenda tion of the commissioners would be extremely dan gerous to the ate icable relations between the valu able colonies of Australia and the mother country. The resolution which he had to propose was to this effect :—" That this meeting view s with the greatest alarm, and desires to protest in the strongest terms against the recommendation contained in the report of the Royal Commission on Secondary Punishments, viz That, with the exception of those who are physically or otherwise unfit fur it, all male convicts sentenced to penal servitude for any term of years should be ultimately sent to Wester❑ Australia: That, i❑ the event of such re- commendations being carried into effect, great and irreparable injury will be inflicted on the neigh bouring colonies of Australia and New Zealand, inasmuch as they would inevitably become the final receptacles of the criminal population thus sent forth from the United Kingdom." After several other speakers had addressed the meeting the resolution was carried, and a committee formed to bring the subject under the attention of the authorities at the Colonial-office. THE NEW ACT ON PRISON MINISTERS.—The act has just been printed for the amendment of the law relating to the religious instruction of prisoners in county and borough prisons in England and Scotland. It is to apply in England to all gaols, prisons, and houses of cor tion, and in Scotland to all local prisons. Where the num ber of prisoners confined and belonging to some church or religious persuasion differing, if in England, from the Church of England, and if in Scotland from the Church of Scotland, is so great . as in the opinion of the Justices' County Board or other p ersons h av i ng the app o i n t men t of chaplain in the prisons to require the ministrations of a minister of their own church or persuasion, the justices and others may appoint a minister, and they may, if they think fit, award to him a reasonable sum as a recompense for his services, such sum to be deemed a part of the expense of the prison. Rules are to be made by the visiting justices as to the ad mission of ministers, and the keepers of the prisons are to keep a register of the religion of the inmates. THE STORIC OP SCHILLER'S REMAINS. An interesting article, in Macmillan's Magaz in e for August, descr ibes how that Schiller died in straitened circumstances, and was . interred i n t h e Kassengewolbe, a publ ic vault at Weimar. Among the ardent admirers of the poet was a young man named Schwabe, who was greatly incensed that the remains of Schiller should be consigned to such a resting-place. Twenty years afterwards Schwabe became Burgermeister, and during his civic reign it was proposed to " clear out" the Kisser gewolbe. Schwabe was horrified at the prospect of Schiller's dust being ignobly sent to the four winds of heaven, and he determined, if possible, to rescue the poet's remains. He ransacked the grim vault on several occasons, but without result, and at last the people of Weimar became so indignant at what they con sidered the desecration of the dead that he was obliged to peocozd secretly in his pious labours : " To find the skull was now his utmost hope, but for that he should make a final struggle. The keys were still in the 'lauds of Bielke the sexton, and the sexton, of course, stood under his control. He sent for him, bound him over to silence, and ordered him to be at the churchyard at midnight on the 19th of March. In like manner he sum- moned three day-labourers in which he confided, pledged them to secrecy, and engaged them to be at the same place at the same hoar, but singly and without lanterns. Attention should not be attracted if he could help it. When the night came, he him self, with a trusty servant, proceeded to the entrance of the Kassengewdibe. The four men were already there, In darkness they all entered, raised the trap. door, adjusted the ladder, and descended to the abode of the dead. Not till then were lanterns lighted; it was just possible that some wanderer might even at that hour cross the churchy4rd. Schwabe seated himself on a step of the ladder and directed the workmen. He smoked hard all the time; it made the horrible atmosphere less intoler able. Fragments of broken coffins they piled up in one corner, and bones in another. Skulls as they were found were placed in a heap by themselves. The hideous work went on for three successive nights, from 12 o'clock till about three, at tLe end of which time 23 skulls had been found, These the Burger meister caused to be put in a sack and carried home to his house, where he himself took them out and placed them in rows on a table. It was hardly done ere he exclaimed, " tnat must be Schiller's!" There was 3ne skull that differed enormously from all the rest both in size and shape. It was remarkable, too, in another way : alone of all those on the table it retained an entire set of the finest teeth, and Schiller's teeth had been noted for their beauty. But there were other means of identification at hand. Schwabe possessed the cast of Schiller's head, taken after death, by Klauer, and with this be under took careful comparison and measurement. The two seemed to him to correspond ; and of the 22 others, not one would bear juxtaposition with the cast. Unfortunately the lower jaw was wanting, to obtain which a fourth nocturnal expedition had to be undertaken. The skull was carried back to the Gewolbe, and many jaws were tried ere one was found which fitted, and for beauty of teeth cor responded with the upper jaw. When brought home, on the other hand, it refused to fit any other cranium. One tooth alone was wanting, and this tooth, an old servant of Schiller's afterwards de clartd, had been extracted at Jena in his presence. Having got thus far, Schwabe invited three of the chief medical authorities to inspect his discovery. After careful measurements, they declared that amongst the 23 skulls there was but one from which the cast could have been taken. He then in vited every person in Weimar and its neighbour hood, who had been on terms of intimacy with Schiller, and admitted them to the room oce by one. The result was surprising. With out an exception they pointed to the same skull as that which must have been the poet's. The only remaining chance of mistake seemed to be the pos sibility of other skulls having eluded the search, end being yet in the vault. To put this to rest, Schwabe applied to the Landschaftscollegium, in whose re cords was kipt a list of all persons buried in the Kassengewolbe. It was ascertained that since the last "clearing out" there had been exactly 23 in torments. At this stage the Burgerkneister saw him self in a position to inform the Grand Duke of Goethe of his search and its success. From both be received grateful acknowledgments. Goethe unhesitatingly recognised the head, and laid stress on the peculiar beauty and flatness of the teeth. The Oberconsistorium thought proper to protest, and, as one good effect of what had happened, to direct that the Kassengewolbe should in future be kept in better order. Dan neeker's collossal bust of Schiller had recently been acquired for the Grand Ducal library, where it had been placed on a lofty pedestal opposite the bust of Goethe, and in this pedestal, which was hollow, it was resolved to deposit the skull. The consect of the family having been obtained, the solemn depo sition was delayed only till the arrival of Ernst von Schiller, who could not reach Weimar before the autumn. On Sept. 17 the ceremony took place. A few persons had been invited, amongst whom, of course, was the Burgermeister. Goethe dreaded the agitation and remained at home, but sent his son to represent him as chief librarian. A. cantata having been sung, Ernst von Schiller, in a short speech thanked all persons present, but especially the Bur germeister, for the love they had shown to the me mery of his father. lie then formally delivered his father's head into the hands of the younger Goethe, who reverently receiving it, thanked his friend in Goethe's name, and, having dwelt on the affection that had subsisted between their fathers, vowed and guaranteed that the precious relic should henceforward be guarded with anxious care. Up to this moment the skull had been wrapped in a cloth and sealed; the younger Goethe now made it over to the librarian, Professor Riemer, to be un packed and placed in its receptacle. All present subscribed their names, on which, the pedestal hay• ing been locked, the key was carried home to Goethe None doubted that Schiller's head was now at rest for many years. But it had already occurred to Goethe, who had more osteological knowledge than the excellent Burgermeister, that the skull being in their possession, it must be possible to find the skeleton. A very few days after the ceremony in the library, he sent to Jena, begging the professor of anatomy, Dr. Schroeter, to have the kindness to spend a day or two at Weimar, and to bring with him, if possible, a functionary of the Jena Museum, Farber by name, who had at one time been Schiller's servant. As soon as they arrived, Goethe placed the matter in Schroter's hands. Again the head was raised from its pillow and carried back to the dismal Kassengewolbe, where the bones still lay in a heap. The chief difficulty was to find the first vertebra; after that all was easy enough, With some exceptions, comparatively trifling, Schroeter succeeded in re-produing the skeleton, which then was laid in a new coffin ' lined with blue merino,' and would seem (though we are not distinctly told) to have been deposited in the library. Professor Schroeter's register of bones recovered and bones missing has been both preserved and printed. The skull was reetcred to its place in the pe destal. He expressed surprise that the bones of Germany's best beloved should be kept like rare coins, or other curiosities in a public muspe eu- In these circumstances, the Grand Duke wrote Goethe a note, proposing for his approval that the skull and skeleton of Sabine!. shtheu vault eeunitnd and provisionally d e p osited in h w i h s i h c o h u t s h , e,uGntrialnsdahDinuakre,a hfaa y dinibluilt nfouridhinmtshealrfwainade • sh f e asible , Go ethe determine.'

The child is the daughter of poor and industrious parents dwelling at 34, Crown-court, Upper East Smithfield. On Thursday evening the girl was playing with some other children in a street near the St. Katherine's Dock, when the prisoner decoyed her away from her companions, and said, " Come home with me my dear, and I will give you roast beef and plum pudding, and lots of nice things." The prisoner then took the girl to the door of an empty house in Burr-street, at the back of the St. Katherine Dock, and told the girl she could not take her home to eat the roast beef and plumb pudding until she took her things off. The prisoner then deliberately stripped the girl of her flannel petticoats and a worsted comforter she was wearing round her neck, which the prisoner concealed under her "jacket" with lt.rge sleeves. She then took a green perfume bottle from her pocket, and said " put your tongue to this and taste it, my dear." A boy named Danity, who had followea pri soner and her victim said, " You shall not drink it, she wants to poison you," and at the same dins snatched the bottle from the prisoner and ran away with it. A girl named Emma Daaity, the sister of the boy, took the petti coats and the worsted comforter from the prisoner, and called to a Th ames police ceastable named Cassidy, No 44, who was pa ss i ng the end of Burr-street, and gave the prisoner into custody. The two petticoats and worsted comforter stolen from the girl were produced, and identified by her mother. Cassidy said the bottle taken from the prisoner contained strong turpentine and red paint. Emma Danity confirmed the girl Curling, her playmate, in every particular, and said, when I took the things from the prisoner sho knelt down and cursed us all, and said we should all be withered. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a most heartless wretch to rob a poor man's child of its ch,thes, and there was something very strange about her conduct in asking the girl to taste the poisonous stuff in the bottle. He sen tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour, MILITARY STORES FOR CANADA.—A Parliamen tary return shows that from June, 1862. down to March, 1863, arms, ammunition, and other military stores, of the value of £363,285 have been sent from Woolwich and the Tower to Canada, besides clothing for the English troops.

THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The public will learn with pleasure that the directors of the Brighton Railway have resolved upon making a general reduction of fares between nearly all their stations. The new scale of charges comes.into operation to-day, and there can be little doubt that a large increase in the number of passengers will soon prove that the reform is a wise one. This course of conduct on the part of the directors is all the more commendable, inasmuch as the traffic is under their own control, and nit in any way disputed with them by a rival company.

A FLYING MAN.—The Journal de Constantinople publishes the following strange story :—" One evening last week two young men of the Isle of Prinkipo were returning in a caique from a sporting excursion on the coast of Asia, when they suddenly heard a noise for which they could not account; but soon after they per ceived over their heads an enormous bird, the sight of which filled them with alarm. Seizing their guns they both fired at it, and were rtill more amazed when they heard broken words and cries which could only proceed from human organs. They at once steered for the spot where the supposed bird had fallen, and were struck with stupefaction on finding that what they had taken for a volatile was a man with an immense pair of mechanical wings, They took him into their boat, and were not a little relieved on finding that he had only received a few small shot in the legs. This new Icarus was flying from Antigone to Plati to visit a young person whom he wished to marry, but whose parents were opposed to the match. To visit his lady love ho had invented and made the wings he wore, and had already twice crossed the strait between the islands. On his third journey his flight was cut short by this untoward accident. Ho is now at Plati." LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.—Last night Dr. Lankes ter held an inquest at the King's Head, Swinton street, on the body of James Twohig, a corrector of the press, aged 68. The deceased had formerly been a hard drinker of spirits, and had what the coroner said was called a gin liver. One of the witnesses attributed all the mischie, to dram drinking. He lived at 30, Swinton-street, Gray's inn-lane. He had suffered for some time in the kidneys. He could not rest at night. On Thursday morning about 4 o'clock he got out of bed from the room on the ground floor, ran up stairs, and threw himself out of the second floor window. His wife was horrified to find that it was the body of her husband that passed her bed-room window. He was dead. The coroner said that persons who drank upset the nervous system. It was much better to remain in bed when sleepless than to get out, and so increase the restlessness. Verdict --Temporary insanity. The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday trie two commission agents, named Krieg and Verel, the former residing at Marseilles and the latter at Parie, both representatives of the firm of Nadiroff an d Co., silkmer chants at Tiflis (Georgia), for forging and despatching two telegrams to Tiflis, on the 18th April last, with intent to injure the brothers Stepham and Martiros Termykertit chiang. silkmerchants at Tiflis and Paris.

Soon after one o'clock, the pile-driving ap paratus being in readiness, the pile was placed in a perpen dicular position, and the first stroke of the monkey sent the pile fully two feet into the bed of the river. The site chosen e the works the erection of the bridge is from the steps bet ween works of the railway bridge and Blackfriars-bridge, o n the south side, to the steamboat pier on the Middlesex s ide of the river.
