AND COMMERCUIL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market the inquiry is described as tolerably active, at previous quotations. Notice has been given that the bonds of the Con federate Loan will be ready for delivery in ex change for the paid-up scrip on the 24th inst., and that the half-year's interest on them will be pay able on the Ist prox. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been satisfactory. A better inquiry has prevailed for both cloths and yarns at Manchester, and prices are sustained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield has been animated, owing to the inquiries for autumn and winter goods. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not tingham have shown considerable activity, and in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been considerable activity in most departments. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c. Rather firm. At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Bank of Australasia, Mr. H. C. E. Childers in the chair, a dividend was declared for the past six months, payable on the 13th proximo, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It was stated that all the new £lO shares had been allotted, with the exception of 245, which would be placed upon the market in the customary way, and the premium carried to the credit of the bank. Nothing of importance has transpired to-day in the English Stock Market, and the few dealings, speculative and for immediate delivery, that have been eatt red into have not resulted in any material variation, Consols being 93 k for transfer, and 938 for the account. The New Threes are marked 93 1; the Reduced, 938 4 ; Exchequer Bill 3, ls. dis. to 2s. prem.; India Stock, ; and the 5 per Cent. do., 1084 I.

MARK -LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were fairly sup plied with new wheat, for the most part of fine quality. The demand ruled heavy, and prices declined quite is, in some instances 2s, per quarter. _ . Very moderate supplies of spring corn were on offer, yet all descriptions met a slow sale, at drooping currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at barely late rates. We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and flour is in a sluggish state, o❑ easier terms. On the con tinent the corn markets are flat. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate, but were rather in excess of the pre vious week. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,129 quarters of wheat, 2,335 barley, 39,018 oats, 1,940 beans, 625 peas, 8,884 linseed, 5,536 oilseeds, 3,600 maize, 60 sun dry seeds, 220 sacks and 12,229 barrels of flour. Only a moderate supply of new home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, was of fine quality, and the samples came to hand in good condition. The trade, both for red and white parcels was heavy in the extreme, and, compared with Monday last, a decline of 4s. per quarter took place in the currency. At the close of business a clearance had not been effected. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably extensive. The demand was in a sluggish state, both for American and Continental produce, and, compared, with Monday last, the prices rea lised showed a fall of from is to 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and wheat was decidedly lower in price. The supply of old English barley was very small, and only a few samples of new were on offer. A parcel of new Seale barley was exhibited for sale. The trade was very slow for all descriptions, yet no quotable change took place in prices from Monday last, New Kent produce realised 37s per qr. The foreign supply was but moderate. Malt sold heavily, at barely previous quotations. The market was fairly supplied with oats, chiefly forage. The trade was dull, and to have pressed sales lower prices must have been accepted. No change took place in the value of beans, but the demand for them was very inactive. There was a some what increased supply of 31d produce on offer. Peas were dull, but without quotable change in value from last week. The supply on offer was very moderate. The flour trade, both as regards home and foreign de scriptions, was in a slugglish state, and prices had a down ward tendency. Town made was reduced 4d per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEAtiy.E.E.

The chief president of Stettin, M. von Senff- Pilsach, has published the following letter from the Crown Prince : " As the Crown Princess and myself, with our children, have dwelt for more than four weeks in this province, and have had opportunities to visit several portions of it, we cannot close our visit with out expressing to the inhabitants of Pomerania our sincere thanks for the numerous proofs of attach• ment and devotion with which we have been greeted wherever we have appeared. The memory of the weeks we spent in Pomerania will always be cherished by us; and I commission you to make known our sentiments in this respect to the pro vince. " FREDERIC WILLIAM, Crown Prince. " Governor of Pomerania. " On board his Majesty's yacht Grille, Aug. 5," ON TILE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL at the Windsor Station on Monday last from Osborne. her Majesty asked the cause of the absence of the inhabitantb from the plat form she had been in the habit of seeing. On being told that the officials considered they were consulting the wishes of her Majesty by shutting out the public, the Queen re . plied, "Not now, not now." _ . • _ WE believe that her Majesty's private band will resume their duties at Windsor Castle at Christmas next.

CLERICAL VIVISECTION.—A frightful case! thus described by the Saturday Review :—Some years ago an eloquent divine was selected for the office of Colonial Bishop, and was actually sent out to the Antipodes, to get 'plate experience in the sphere of his future labours. On his return, he is said to have anticipated his consecration by purchasing and wearing the full episcopal costume. A hitch occurred, and the Bishop designate was not thought strong enough for the place, and remains a priest to this day. By degrees, and one by one, the unfortunate victim was com pelled to drop his dignified habiliments. First, he was shelled out of hie shovel hat, then he was unfrocked of bi g apron, afterwards he was shorn as to his episc,pal gaiters., and lastly the rochet and lawn sleeves were offered for sale at an alarming sacrifice. It was u regular case of a parson subjected to vivisection in its severest shape.

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A GIRL.—John William Fitz gerald, an engineer, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr, Woolrych charged with assaulting Mary Ann Moore, a girl under 13 years of age. It appeared that the girl had been sent by her mother on an errand to the prisoner's, in William-street, Cannon street-road. The wife was from home, but the prisoner was in his room, and he made improper overtures to the girl, which she rejected; and he then pulled her about and assaulted her with his hands in a gross manner. Tho girl resisted and got away from him. Sbe was not hurt, but very much alarmed, and immediately made known the base conduct of the prisoner to her friends, who caused the villain to be taken into custody. The girl's evidence given at great length left no doubt of the prisoner's intentions. He offered no violence to the girl. George Salmon Howe, a police-constable, No. 131 H, s aid he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday even ing, and he denied what was alleged against him, and said he was tipsy when the girl called upon him. The prisoner, in defence, said he had no recollection of w hat took place. He was very tipsy QII reac hi ng home on Saturday. Mr. Woolrych—You have committed a gross assault on this girl. You are sentenced to six weeks' imptisonment and bard labour. SHIPPING.—This Day.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were again extensive. Their general condition, however, was by no means first rate. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were limited. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at Thursday's advance in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised a shade over our general top currency of 4s 10d per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,70 0 shorthorns, &c, ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 30 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 140 oxen and heifers. W e were again fairly supplied with sheep, mostly in good condition. Nearly all breeds sold steadily, at Thursday's improvement in value. The general top figure for Downs was 5s ; but a few pens realised 5s 2d per Slbs. Lambs—the supply of which was limited—sold briskly, at 8d per 81bs above the rates current on Monday last. Prices ranged from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per 81bs. Calves were 21 per Bibs dearer, with a good demand. Top price 4s 8d per &be. In pigs, very little was doing, at late rates.

A parcel of new hops has been on oiler, and has been disposed of at £l2 per cwt. Last week's import was 10 bales from Hamburg, and 47 bales from Boulogne. •---- WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool held last week went off with a fair amount of animation. Home buyers purchased freely, but the amount of business transacted for export was very moderate. American buyers appear to be scarcely in the market, and the demand on French and Belgian account is far from extensive. The value, however, both of Cape and Australian produce is well supported.

The August Session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning at the Sessions Houses, Old Bailey, before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, who sat as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, the Recorder (Mr. Russell Gurney), Alderman William Lawrence,Alderman Allen, the Sheriffs, Alderman J. C. Laurence, and Hugh Jones, Esq., Mr. Under-sheriff Mackrell, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 116 persons for trial, the offences for the most part being of the ordinary character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Recorder, in delivering his charge, remarked upon the absence from the calendar of any charge of wilful mur der ; there were, however, two cases of assaults with intent to murder or do grievous bodily harm. In the first case a man named Henry Tink was charged with cutting the throat of his brother, Charles John Tink. It appeared from the depositions that the prisoner had invited his brother to come to London to obtain work, but failed to ob tain any. They slept together, and during the night the prisoner unbuttoned his brother's shit, but at the time his brother took no notice of it and fell asleep. Soon after he felt a cutting at his throat ; he called out "Murder," and then discovered his brother with a razor in his hand cutting at his throat. Two other per sons were sleeping in the same room and came to his assistance, and the prisoner was prevented doing any further injury. The razor was found in the bed covered with blood. There was no doubt that the prosecutor's throat had been seriously cut and wounded, and the only question was by whom the wound was inflicted. There was =other case in which a woman, named Eliza Robins, was charged with administering poison to two of her infant children. She was seen to go into a pastrycook's and buy a tart, and then cover it with a white powder, part of which she gave to one of the children, and the rest she put into the mouth of the other infant in her arms. On being charged with attempting to poison her children, she endeavoured to excuse herself by saying that she was not able to support them, and did not like their going to the work house. Upon the facts, as stated in the depositions they would have no difficulty in sending the case for trial. There were no less than seven charges of manslaughter. In one case a man named Josph B3gint was charged with kill ing a woman with whom he cohabited, named Ann Giffen.. It appeared that on the 3d of August she came home, when the prisoner charged her with being drunk, he himself having been drinking. He commenced beating her, and she was heard to cry out, "Don't beat me so, you will kill me ;" when he replied he would do so before he had done with her. He then knocked her down, and the day after she died. On examination it was found one of her ribs was broken and it had penetrated the lung. There was also a wound on the skull, and there was no doubt that the injuries were the cause of death. There was also a case of a woman named Sullivan, charged with stabbing and kill ing a man named White, with whom she cohabited. It ap peared that there had been a quarrel between them, and that the deceased was endeavouring to force the prisoner out of the room, when she took up the knife and stabbed the deceased, and no doubt one of the main arteries was cut, causing the death. The wound was inflicted in a fit of passion, which reduced the offence from murder to man slaughter. The learned Recorder then remarked on the several other cases of manslaughter, and after some few other observations the jury retired to their duties. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STREET RUFFIANISM.—WiIIiam Jackson, of 5, COMM street, Russell-square, marine store dealer, and John Hamilton, of 15, Dean-street, mpitaifisids, were charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk and disorderly; and Hamilton was further charged with assaulting Sergeant Thomas Dodsworth, 293 A, and Mr. James Parkhurst, foreign china dealer, of 6, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, who went to the assistance of the sergeant. The sergeant saw the prisoners, shortly before one this morning, drunk, fighting together, and making a great disturbance outside one of the ice shops in Oxford-street, and on requesting them to go away they made use of the most disgusting language, and refused to leave. The ser geant then attempted to take them into custody, when Hamilton threw himself on the ground and kicked him about the shins. Mr. Parkhurst, who was on his way home with his wife, seeing the sergeant illused, went to his assistance, and some constables arriving, the prisoners were taken to the station, and while on the way Hamilton deli berately kicked Mr. Parkhurst in a violent manner —Mr. Parkhurst at the time being engaged in carrying the con- stable's hat. Jackson said that on coming 3ut of the ice shop his wif e said she had lost her watch, and the sergeant said it was more likely that he (Jackson) had taken one, and then there was a disturbance. Hamilton said it was no use saying anything. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Jackson 20s. or 14 days, and. Hamil ton 408. or two months for the assault on Mr. Parkhurst, and 108. or 14 days for assaulting the sergeant. THE PESTS OF THE PARKS.—A well dressed German, named Wilhelm Huntebrunk, who de-cribed himself as a sugar baker at Whitechapel, was charged with grossly im proper conduct in Hyde-park, near Grosvenor-gate. The case having been proved by Lloyd, a constable of the A division, The prisoner, through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said he was a foreigner, and that he had only been in London a short time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the foreigners must behave them selves as well as other people, and his being a foreigner was no excuse, for he must be well aware that in his own country ho would be punished for such conduct. The prisoner was then committed for three months with hat d labour. THE POLISH INSURRECTION'. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1. It really appears as if political affairs had taken an im portant peaceful turn within the last few days ; at least the Ministry for Foreign Affairs here is entirely free From anxiety respecting the replies of the three Powe rs , That a more journaisr niflcant sign is a co mmun i que p u bli s h e d i n t o- d e y ' s de St. Petersburg, the evident object of whirl t is to prove to the Russian public that this more favours Me state of things has in no been obtained by yielding on the part of the Russian Government, and thus to anticir tote the statement to this effect which probably be made by the foreign press. But of wcoonu:rhsewfilolceign susceptibilities must be spared, and so this c ue is perfectly colors:- less, as will be seen from the following u d ni2 text .—" In reading the foreign journals one is every truck by one regret able fact. Whether it is a desire toaLsbetterembarrassment, informed tb.;an they really are, or whether it is real ' irn creased by the necessity of judging a situationmaarfratshaemdeinifter.ntshades of which they do nut perceive, it is which they daily work upon the public mind by commentsset neither to enlighten nor tranquillise it. If the Ru h s h-''ip Government maintains in its replies a firm and digni s ti lm language, these journals complain of defiance; while if s i l t, adds to its declaration a shade of politeness, changin g nothing de facto in its ideas, but rendering more intelli g ibl e views which have never ceased to be conciliatory, these same journals proclaim that Russia makes concessions and yields. " These opposite interpretations are both equally far from the truth. They have no kind of influence on the Russian public, which very well knows that their Sove reign, suppported by the energetic and unanimous opinion of the country, is conscious of the great interests which he is called upon to protect. But this is not the case with the foreign public, which is excited and led into error by these false representations. We must again warn it against this influence. The Imperial Cabinet continues to be inspired by a desire for conciliation and for the good understanding to which it has been challenged by the great Powers. The care of his Majesty the Emperor for the welfare of his sub jects is restricted by no geographical boundaries. " The bearing which his Majesty has prescribed for his Cabinet is inspired by this sentiment and by the dignity and interest of Russia. " Let the foreign press take these observations for their guide in future comments." LE3iTIERG, Aug. 12. The Gazette .harodowa publishes some intelligence re specting the strength and position of the insurrectionary forces in the palatinate of Lublin. The different insur gent corps are commanded by Zielinski, J enkowski, Rucki, Wiezbicki, Krysinski, and Laski ; the whole of these corps are under the general command of Lelewel, and are de signed to co-operate together. The first general movement of these corps was not very fortunate. The insurgents en deavoured on the 23d July with about 1,600 men to force the centre of the Russian force under Chruschtochew, and drive them towards an ambuscade, but the insurgents fell into their own trap, and found the positions they intended to take up already occupied by the Russians, who threw themselves on the advancing division of the insurgents, and defeated them in detail. The victory, however, was not a very important one, fur the Russians retired to Lublin, and the insurgents dispersed to the forests. In the Cracow dis trict there are the corps of Chimelewski, and the gendar merie force of Bogus, who has 200 men (cavalry) under him, besides numerous small corps of insurgents. Chime leweki's corps greatly distinguished itself at the battles of Janow and Sezemin. It is about 300 strong, well armed and equipped. Bogust lately destroyed nearly an entire division of dragoons who had been drawn into an ambush. KALISCII, August 12. The insurrection becomes more widespread and violent in our country. The commission for carrying out a general levy has, for this reason, established its head quarters at Warta, about 20 English miles from this place. Men be tween 18 and 40 years old are drafted, so that within a month at least 100,000 men may take the field. Our town is called upon to furnish 18,000 men. Taczanowski has been removed from the command of the cavalry regiment, and has been replaced by a Major Kapoernicki, formerly in the Russian service. On the other hand, the National Government has conferred on Taczanowski the office of civil governor. The transmission of news through the country has now become very difficult, and residence here begins to be dangerous for neutrals and non-participants in the strife. Federal Facts and nn.Englisli Fancies. (Front the Army and Nary Gazette.) It strikes us that there is an unusual mode adopted by most of our public writers and journal ists in dealing with the course of events in the Ame rican civil war. The question moat important to us here in England is of a military and political, not of a philosophical and metaphysical character. Whether the Americans lose or recover their liber ties—whether they destroy or preserve State rights —whether they respect or annihilate the consitu , tion, is for them a vital problem ; but it does not so much practically concern us in Great Britain at the present moment, however curious 'and interesting for historical students it may be to study the words and acts of the model republicans. Great Britain is much more intimately concerned in the hard facts of the terrible war than in speculations as to greenbacks, habeas corpus, martial law, arbitrary arrests, taxation, and the like. She is most deeply interested in trying to discover whether the North is about to become a great military and naval power, with an overwhelming and triumphant army, and a fleet of great strength in their own waters. What use, then, is there in prophesying or speculating, in view of the facts before our eyes ? These facts are, the retreat of Lee to the neighbourhood of Rich mond, after a disastrous attempt on Pennsylvania, founded, it appears, on a miscalculation of the re sources of the Confederate Government in men, and the consequent reoccupation by the Federals of the Shenandoah Valley and the line of the Rappahannock; the ccniplete possession of the Mississippi by the Feaerals, so that, contrary to our expectations, trade has commenced between St. Louis and New Or leans; their solid establishments in Tennessee, and their less tranquil, but not less secure sway over Kentucky; their undisputed dominancy in the State of Mississippi itself; their approach to the frontiers of Georgia and Alabama ; their grip of the sea board tightening gradually ; their strongholds es- , tablished along the coast of North Carolina and South Carolina and Florida ; their effectual sever ance of the States of Texas and Arkansas from the rest of the Confederacy ; and their undisturbed hold of Missouri. Add to this catalogue the danger very imminent to Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile, of destruction or capture by the Federal forces, and the increasing stringency cf the Federal blockade— the vast losses of men not to be replaced on the part of the Confederacy, and the constant spread of Federal conquest ; and it requires philosophy, metaphysics, historical parallels, and immense faith to believe that the South car. continue her resistance to the North in the field, or preserve her States from the sway of Washington pro -consuls. On the other hand, there is said to be dissension in the North— there certainly have been riots in some Northern cities—the people will not enlist, and will not suffer conscription to be enforced. They will all be ruined by a financial crisis. The war is only carried on by "shoddy contractors"—very gallant must taeyail; —and politi c i ans , an d c l erg y—very numerous and FO very valiant mus t th e y b e t o o. Toe countryTheNorth vast that it cannot be conquered or held is not in earn e st, or is tired of the wa r, or is cor rupt, or, cowardly, and only fights with Irish an d any longer—in German hands, which won't strikewishi to which has certainly not yet taken undo th e k not fact, something is to take place p l ace , and wh ich of facts accomplishe d whic h is just now p ress i ng under the Southern ear. let us stick s continue— now to our hard fae L ts et 1 861, atter the battle of Bull Run, the boundary of the Southern C on f e d eracy , as drawn by t heir bayonets in actual li ne , ran L h roug h the line of the Potomac, the centre of Kentucky, and the centre of Missouri. Tae Confederates held the Green river, had camps at Columbus, from w hich they threatened Cairo, and encamped higher up in Missouri, held St. Louis itself in alarm ; they had possession of every seaport south of Baltimore; they had a blockade of the Potomac. Fort Pickens was tko solitary standpost for the Federal flag in Southern seas. Thu line has now receded far in deed, and to it have marched up the advancing Federals. This has been accomplished, we are told, at the cost of an actual debt, on the Ist of July, 1863, of 1,097,274,356 dollars, or, in round numbers, of £ 2 19,600,000. Gold stands at 24 premium in New York; in Richmond it is 1100 premium. TUE LITTLE MISERIES OF HUMAN LIEE.--A sedulous female correspondent who crosses her letters, says a Saturday Reviewer, a man who bores you with raptures about his angel, stupid parties, and wet pic•nies, are tribu lations which may be comparatively minor, but yet fill a grievous space in the average life of man. The writer ob serving in another part of the same whimsical argument, that a permanently soured disposition may infallibly be en gendered by the continuous action of linen invariably over starched, shirt-buttons always neglected, and trains con stantly missed. ----~ SPORTING NOTES. The York Meeting commences to-morrow, but it will ' not throw much light on the St. Leger, as none of tho favourites are expected to enter an appearance. Lord Clifden, after having been knocked about in the betting, has now returned to his old price. I believe it is only a matter of health for him to place this rich stake to his noble owner's credit. The Yorkshire Oaks, in the absence of Queen Bertha, will be secured by Marigold. Tne Con vivial Stakes will be between Durham and King George, now that Paris has been withdrawn. The Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 sovs, each will be secured by Mr. Merry's nomination. The Three-year-old Biennial has been patronised to the same extent as the Convivial, and among the long array of names attached to it are those of The Ranger, Trumps, Avenger, Scamander, Onesander, Old Orange Girl, and King of Utopia. Naturally the prefer ence of the public wail be given to The Ranger, whose form, from the way La roueques ran at Goodwood, is very nearly the best of the year, and should Mr. Savile run for it, he will, in my opinion, have no cause for regret. Should he, however, be kept back for the Great Yorkshire Thursday,on then Lord Stamford's representative. Avenger or Onesander, will be found the hardest to beat, The Bramham Park stakes of 100 soya each will hardly furnish a race, Borealis seeming to hold her opponents quite safe; and in the Sweeprakes that stands next in sue cession to it, I fancy Bonny Breastknot may just beat Citadel. The Chesterfield Handicap has thirty subscribers, a We t B dnesday e d r dt a hn s ae s t o h dra e yT d rt i u s h t me a n sp p c Qeo sport tse will n n i l lw y l a ol mmb returned en , tc l uer venture h Ne t v o itn t w h no i e n .ry k . r o h ol a Biennial, which is rich enough to insure a good assembl age of two-yr•olds at th e .post. Much will depend upon the result of the Convivial, as to the issue of this race, the no minations being so much alike. Ilollyfox, it is reported, will not run at present; neither will Blair Athol show him self in the other race. Scottish Chief does not run, Crytiteia is penalised 31b, and as Linda has an allowance of 311 a, I shall give the preference to Mr. Naylor's filly. The Ebor St. Leger, in the absence of The Ranger, will be won by Lord Glasgow's Physalis colt. For the Ebor Handicap th e field will be made up from the following : Caller Ou, 5 yrs, Ost llb Oldminster, 5 yrs, Bst 91b Doyle. Carisbrook, 4 yrs, Bst W. Boyce. Fantail, 3 yrs, Est 21b Magnum Bonum, 4 yrs, ist 131 b Covey.

Wasp g, 3 yrs, sst 71b Caller On, if the Lewis running was correct, can have no chance with Bellmsn at the weights, Carisbrook would prefer a hilly course, and besides he has the worst of the weights with Bellman. The latter will be near winning, but I do not think he will beat Lord Zetland's horse. Oldminster and Magnum Bonum have both penalties of 141b5., which puts out any chance they might have had. The Mock, if he can only stay the distance, must be very formidable, as he has se much the best of the weights. Piccador's running at Goodwcod with Ace of Clubs I entirely throw aside, as the latter, having now recovered his wind, is one of the best horses in training, and it was no disgrace for him to be beat. With the lenient weight of 6st 101 b, I think he will land the stakes for his noble owner. Clarior, Golden Plerige, Fantail, and Melrose I have no fancy for. It will be seen from the above that I expect the judge will placq PICCADOIt THE MONK BELLMAN The York Cup will be won by Macaroni if Mr. Naylor pulls him out. A FRESH MAN, Foreign Mail Packet List.

The Regeneration thinks that negotiations are about to be opened between Spain, France. and Austria, for the consolidation of the new empire. According to the Correspondencia, on the contrary, the Spanish Government has already decided on the course of its policy, and has taken its measures not to be surprised by the events which may arise. The Breslau Gazette states, on the authority of a letter from Kaliscb, that the levy of troops ordered by.the Polish National Government is assuming large proportions in the district of Cracow. Th e commission which superintends the recruiting sits at Warta, about eight leagues from Kalisch. All men between the ages 'of 18 and 40 are taken, and in a few weeks not less than 100,000 will be under arms. Kalisch will supply 1,800 men. SEIZURE OF DEFICIENT MEASURES.—On day last, nearly one hundred licensed victuallers, from the districts of Shoreditch, Iloxton, Bethnal- ;reed, Finsbury, Noorfields, Kingsland, Hackney, St. G eorge ' s: in-the-East, and Stoke Newington, attended, before a full bench, at the Court House, Great Prescott-street, Good man's-fields, to answer summonses taken out against them for having deficient measures in their possession. Tho articles seized, weighing nearly a hundred weight, were placed before the bench in wicker hampers, each labelled with the name of the persons from whom their contents hat been taken. Fines, ranging from 15s. to 50s, were in flicted upon eighty- five of the defendants, the total amount being £B7 10s., half of which goes to the country, the in spector receiving the other moiety. In one case it was stated that the measures seized were not employed for serv. ing the customers, but were simply used for placing under the tap; while in a another the seizure was of "a pint and a half pot," which, though not deficient, is, by law, a pro , hibited measure. " THE ARCHIMANDRITE NILOS."--ThIS most reverend ecclesiastic of the Greek Church was tQ leave the Coburg Hotel, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on Saturday last, for Paris, es route for Constantinople. In the morning of Friday the Archimandrite paid a farewell visit to the Lord Bishop of London, at Fulham Palace ; the afternoon of the same day, 111i ss Burdett Coutts had the honour of receiving the Archimandrite at her villa, Holly Lodge, Highgate. The Archimandrite has been, we are informed, fbr many years principally resident at Constan. tinople, at which court he is " the official representative of the four Greek Patriarchs," and he is also "head of the community of the Holy Mountain" (comprising the various monasteries of I\lount Athos). The Archimandrite's visit to England and Frar.ce, we believe, has had reference to the recent conduct of Prince Couza, Hospodar of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, in seizing the lands and revenues of the dedicated convents in the Prin cipalities, and in imprisoning and ill-treating certain of the monks. WRECK" OF A PASSENGER STEAMER OFF TIIE, ISLE OF VViouT.—The steamer her Majesty, be• longing to the Isle of Wight and Port of Portsmouth Steam Packet Company is withdrawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays from her regular passages to make excursions round the island. On Saturday, about half-past 11 o'clock, she left Portsmouth, with a tolerably numerous company on board. All went on well until she arrived nearly off Benbridge Point, at the back of the island, when it is supposed, in consequence of hugging the shore, she struck upon a sunken rock, and knocked a hole in her bottom. The greatest alarm was manifested amongst the passengers, but as soon AS the captain could get the vessel off the rock, he drove her nearer to the shote, and by means of boats the whole of the passengers were put ashore. Several pilot boats were fortunately near at the time, and rendered very great assist ance. They were afterwards put on board other vessels, and conveyed to Hyde and Portsmouth. The steamer tilled and sunk. The captain, Mr. Tate, has been mate of the vessel for many years, and has always been remarkable for his steadiness and strict attention to his duties. Little mote than a mouth ago he was appointed as the successor of Captain Crack, having received his Admiralty certificate as master. DUTY ON SPlRlTS.—According to a return yes terday issued, there was a great decrease in the duties on spirits. In the year ending March last the amount was £9,309,707, while iu the preceding year it was £9,618,291, showing a decrease of £218,684. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LADY GILBERT KENNED Y . —On Monday last, as Lord and Lady Gilbert Ken nedy were riding in the vicinity of the village of Eversley, her ladyship's horse took fright at a cart laden high with peas. After rearing violently, the animal backed into a ditch, throwing her ladyship, and causing some severe in juries to the head, which rendered her insensible, in which state she was conveyed home.
