The news of the battle of Idstedt arrived in Copen hagen on the morning of the 27th ult. The following notice was immediately published by the Minister of War : " After an engagement which lasted two days, our army has gained a decisive bat bloody victory, and has taken the city of Schleswig. We have taken five can nons and 100 men. Our loss is great." The German journals state that the case of Schles wig-Holstein is beginning to excite so much interest at Berlin that an association has just been formed there. In Hanover a popular assembly was held on the 27th, to take into consideration the state of the Duchies. About 4,000 persons were present. TWo petitions were drawn up—one- addressed to the KING, the other to the Cabinet—in both of which it was requested that the Hanoverian army might be sent to the aid of Schleswig-Holstein. On the same day a popular meeting was held at Hildesheim, where an address was voted to the KING to the same effect. The Hanoverians have sent 100 Louis d'ors to the Schleswig-Holsteiners. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. ACUILLE FOULD, the Finance Minister, intro duced into the Assembly, on Wednesday, a Bill, authorising the Bank of France to resume cash pay ment•.

During the interval the Government shell draw up and present to the Assembly a project of law for making good the deficiency occasioned by the withdrawal of this impost." The Assembly, by a majority of 320 to 267, agreed to enter on the discussion of the Paris and Bordeaux Railway Bill. M. TRIERS left Paris on Wednesday for the vacation ; he intends taking a tour through Belgium, Holland, and Germany. It is said that serious differences have arisen be tween the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Minis ter of Marine.

A public meeting was held at the Mechanics' Insti tution, Chatham, last evening, for the purpose of ex plaining the principles and objects of this society; Dr. S eel in the chair. Messrs. G. E. Dennes, G. Huggett, and G. F. Taylor, attended as a deputation. Mr. G. HUGGETT explained fully the objects of the Freehold Land movement, when the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "That the Freehold Laud Movement is deserving of the warmest support of all who desire an extension of the suffrage, tending as it does to improve the social and moral condition of the industrious and unenfran chised classes. This meeting is of opinion, that the regulations of the Westminster Freehold Land Sothety (ot No. 4, Beaufort• buildings, Strand, presided over by C. Lushington. Esq., M.P.), as explained this evening, are well calculated to effect that object, and that in asmuch as it purposes to enable its members to obta;n votes in Kent and other counties, this meeting considers it worthy the cordial support of the inhabitants of Chatham." A vote of. thanks was passed to the Chairman, and a great number of shares were taken up before the meet ing separated. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. GLASGOW, TITURSDAY.—Between ten and eleven o'clock this day a collision occurred on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, near the Cowlairs station, by which five persons were deprived of life, and several others severely if not fatally injured. It appears that a monster special train left Perth by the Scottish Central Railway early in the morning, car rying a number of persons to witness the Highland So ciety's Exhibition at Glasgow; that on its arrival at the Greenhill junction the train was divided into two portions, one of which proceeded on to Cowlairs ; on its arrival at Cowlairs a detention occurred in consequence of a large train from Edin burgh not being able to get dow n in cline a s speedily as usual ; while remaining here the second section of the Perth train came up, and at. th o ugh it was noticed at some di s t ance i t was proceeding at such a rapid rate that a collision_ resulted ine v it a bly. Seeing this, some of the passengers leaped from the sta tionary train and escaped without injury, but they h a d no sooner done so tha n t h e collision took place. Two ipn w let e l hyi smashed,ch we r were s a o s m w e e r 2 e o a s t o o 3 t o h ep buffers ersons, have cattle been e t r e li n e e k o s m , of nearly all the carriages in the train. E ver y measure was adopted to alleviate t he sufferings of the wounded, and those who were more severely injured were conveyed to the Royal Infirmary. The matter has been taken up by the Fiscal, and is at present undergoing investi gation. ROYAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—On Wednesday a meeting was held before the Master in Chancery Richards, for the further settlement of the list of contributories. Mr. Mark Boyd, and MT. Rae, late manager of the bank, were examined, and the evidence of the former went to show that he purchased shares in the bank, and put them in the name of his brother Mr. Benjamin Boyd, but that it was done without the knowledge or consent of the latter, who was at the time understood to be conducting the agency of the bank at Sydney. He had also done the same for some of his relations, and the question to be decided is, whether these parties are to be held liable in respect of. these shares. In the case where an original shareholder transferred shares to his nephew, a youth of eighteen, and who sought to be excused on the ground of minority, his Honour decided that whatever his opinion of the transaction might be, he must in law hold that the transfer was invalid. The claim 4, as reported by Mr. Wryghte, the official manager, up to the present time on the estate, amount to 350,0001., of which 310,000/. consist of deposit notes principally held in Scotland. It is intended to contest the liability of the shareholders to meet these, on the ground that the directors under the deed had no power to issue, them. Should it be held that the bank is . liable, the liquidation on them will fall heavily on the'shareholders, who do not amount to more than 200. There are, in addition, calls unpaid made by the company, andyet to be got in under the Act, to the extent of 50,000/., and the only assets in hand consist of property in Australia estimated at 60,C00/. The other liabilities are not yet as assessed, and the manager of the company's affairs at Sydney, to whom.between 80,000/.. and 100,0001. wee entrusted, has left SYdneh for California.: _ , DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to &fiord to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta :eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording in ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I. BENEFITS I 11.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In common with all students at this institution, I have to thank you for the remarks which you have made from time to time on the defects of the present catalogue, and on the necessity of immediatel having a " Findi ng " or common-sense catalogue completed, to guide authors and readers to the treasures which it contains. Amongst other restrictions by which such students suffer, the rule laid down by the Museum which excludes all books from' the catalogue till after one year fro m t h e d ate of publics • Lion, operates ver y injuriously to them without yielding any advantage to authors and publishers ; and I am authorised by the principal publishers to state that the rescinding of this rule would have no injurious effect on them. My researches at the Library have been chiefly in connexion with the subjects of the discovery of the coal fields in the Islands of the Pacific Ocean and the adja cent continents—and the capabilities of our colonies to sustain an increase of population, with a view to as sisting emigration from densely -populated countries. I have had, therefore, to refer to the journals of mission aries and other residents in those distant countries, and' to consult recent works on practical geology. Amongst other instances of my disappointment at not being able to refer to some valuable modern books, I may mention that I required in connexion with the extension of steam to Australia having been one of the firot projectors with the late Lieutenant Waghorn—Stoke's ",Survey of Torres Straits," pub lished some years since under the patronage of the Admiralty. I inserted the title of the work in the book kept in the library for omissions, &c., three years ago; but it has never yet appeared in the catalogue. With regard to the question of time in the preparation of such a catalogue as the public want,—surely, if at Lloyd's they can register all the daily arrival of ships with casualties, and if every banker contrives to ascertain the " balance" of every customer, however many he may have, before the clerks leave, Government; has but to pay a few clerks to post up the arrears in the catalogue of this important institution, or to remunerate the present staff for extra attendance. Some of -the officers in this department now leave at tte early hour of, three o'clock, although the library is open till seven o'clock. , I am, Sir, &c., H. SMITH EVANSk., MAP OF LONDON AND WESTMINSTER. All topographical antiquaries will examine with interest a very curious map recently engraved by Nicholas Taperell and James Innes, representing the ancient cities of London and Westminster, as they appeared in the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. From the period of the reign of Queen Elizabeth to that of her present Majesty Queen Vic tonic (to whom the splendid plate referred to is most appropriately dedicated), it may be presumed that most wonderful changes have been effected in the appearance of the metropolis. Even Aubrey, even Defoe, even Jesse, even Hunt, even the most graphic writer who ever lived, would fail to give, within a reasonable compass, any adequate n o ti on o f t h ese changes in• th e as p ec t of London and Westminster. What they could not accomplish, 'however, without penning volumes, is effected by a glance at this re markable engraving —where we see (and stare to see) the deer in St. James's-parke, hedge rows bor dering the Haymarket, St. Giies'a Church literally in the fields, St. Martin's-lane boun den at one end by a paddock, with a horse in it grazing, and at the other by the Crosse at Charing; cows wandering about the meadows by Drury-lane; trees and grass covering the space at present occupied by Covent-garden, and a variety of other matters as surprising and wonderful. The map is worthy of all commendation for its distinctness, and its examination must be a source of especial pleasure to the Metropolitan Commissioners. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. loid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.37; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.321, it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advicea from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, whicb, at the English Mint price of 31. 17P. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9; and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at abort being 13 94, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Elamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in faTour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.- On Saturday afternoon an accident of a very alarming cha racter, but fortunately not attended with fatal consequences, occurred on the Musselburgh branch of the North British Railway. It appears that a train heavily laden with pas sengers on their return from the 'Yeomanry races, and con sisting of twelve or fourteen carriages, had left the Mussel burgh station at five o'clock for Edinburgh, and was ascends ing the steep incline between Niddry and Fisherrow, when from the small progress made it was determined to divide the train. Four or five of the carriages were in consequence de tached from the train, which proceeded up the incline to wards Niddry, it being understood that the engine (the lightest in the company's service) was to return for then. The detached carriages were kept, in their position by a block of wood, technically named a "scutch ;" but, from some cause not yet clearly explained, they immediately began to move down the incline towards Fisherrow (which has a gradient of 1 in 47), and, not. ithstanding th e at tempt of a man to stop their progress by the application of the break, their speed became accelerated to a fearful degree, to the great alarm of the passengers. Some of the switches a short distance from the bottom of the incline being open the course of the carriages was diverted from the main line into a siding, which lies in a cutting; but, from the frightful velocity they had acquired, two of the carriages were thrown off the rails, and the front wheels of one, a third class carriage, imbedded in the sand, while the body or framework was raised on its end, and thrown upon the neighbouring bank, dislodging the stones in the retaining wall. Another carriage also sustained serious injury; and the passengers in the train, besides the intense alarm which prevailed among them, from the violence of the collision, re ceived in many cases severe bruises, cuts, and other injuries. Some medical gentlemen present rendered every assistance in their power, and active exertions having been made to clear the line, the passage of the train was resumed in a short time afterwards, and the injured parties brought to Edinburgh. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At the monthly general meeting held yesterday, at the society's house in Hanover-square, Mr. Yarrell, V.P., in the chair, the Earl of Abergavenny, Slk J. Ramaden, Bart., the Hon. A. Russell, Captain the Hon. G. Campbell, R.N., Captain *Wynne Payne, Rev. H. J. Cummins, and Mr. H. Padwick, were elected fellows ; and Mr., Arthur Walker, of Port Natal, • a corresponding member of thiasociety ; and Viscount New port, M.P., Sir Conwallis Rickets, Bart., Mr. G. Ransome, and Mr. H. Wordswoith, proposed as candidates for the fellowship. The report of the council stated that the number of fellows elected since January 1, 1850, exceeded the whole number of elections in 1849 by 11 ; that the number of • visitors to the gardens during the month of July exceeded . the corresponding period of 1849 by 34,484; and that the' total number of visitors since January 1, 1850,-exceeded the number admitted in the whole twelvemonths of 1849 by 59,810. The report concluded by stating that her Majesty had honoured the society by visiting the gardens on the 18th inst., for the purpose of seeing the hippopotamus, and had y wi e t s h te g r r d ea a t y po t m h p e mostbeen r m em os s t rk g a ra b c le io e u x s a ly m , p p l l e e a o se f d la t n o d a t o d r d vi t i c s ) e t C h T e a c t o u l a lec o e tin t o epha th : topus) which had ever reached this co unt ry . conMsecArsa°tiNoniCofAthsiYsLbuuMildiAngT w e a ll s ° ce T l D eb ° r N ated at Croydon. Provincial Grand g The by t 21 th o e ,0 0 l p o e c n k i . ng A o f t the 1 o'clock an excellent sermon, adapted to the occasion, was preached in St. James's Church by the Very Worshipful Brother the Rev. J. E. Cox, grand chaplain of the order. A hymn, composed expressly for the occasion. WAS sung by the children of the Royal Freemasons' Female School, after which a masonic procession was formed from the church to the asylum. The ceremony of consecration then took place in the hall of the asylum, and at its close those ladies who had silver purses to present were severally introduced to the Provincial Grand Master. The proceedings terminated with a rkjetiner, and all the arrangements connected with the occasion were carried out in a very satisfactory and effective 01111:111er. GRAND SWIMMING PETE. On Wednesday evening last a grand treat was afforded to the lovers of the art of swimming, at the National Baths, High Holborn, on the occasion of the benefit of Mr. Harold Kenworthy. The spacious and elegant baths were crowded, it being estimated that upwards of 1,000 persons were present, among whom we noticed several noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, patrons of the bath. The evening's entertainments commenced with a match for a gold Leander medal, presented by Mr. James. Horace Kenworthy, which was open to all the world, excepting those who have won golden medals. The chairman of the Holborn Swimming Club s Dr. Jones, acted as referee for the evening. The entries for the gold medal were fifteen, comprising the . most eminent swim mers of the day, viz., T. Young, D. Young, Beckwith, Styles, Walker, Grant, Roberson, Hansard, Evans, &c. The distance to be swum was six lengths of the bathe, trial heats, and'eight lengths in thegrand or final h ea t. The gre a t est excitement prevailed in the betting, but T. Young and Beckwith were decidedly the favourites, both I. eing individually backed against the field. After a gallant contest Mr. Beckwith was proclaimed the successful competitor amidst the most protracted cheers, having swam the eight lengths in the incredibly short space of time of three minutes end forty-nine seconds. David Young was second, and his brother, T. Young, third, both of them receiving a manila) silver Leander medal. It is but right to state that T. Young was accidentally fouled by Styles, or there is every reason to believe that, if not first at the goal, he would have been second. At the conclusion cf the race George Pewters entered the water, accompanied by Evans Evans, and perforin6d some of the most extraordinary feats in natation thet we had ever seen. Pewters succeeded, without any difficulty, in undressing himself under water, havi dived in with hi s c l ot h es on, and we must certain ly say that, taking him all in all, he, and he alone, de serves the title of Champion of England. Mr. Evans' feat of walking on his hands under water was very clever, and was loudly applauded. Mess, flowsoa and le a Kenworthy scientific swimming called forth the loudest plaudits, and the whole of the evening's enter tainments concluded with a race between Master Turner and Master Jones for a purse of sovereigns. After • sharp contest Master Jones came in a winner by a yard. Great praise was due to Mr. Hedgman, the worthy pro prietor of the bath, for the admirable arrangements made for the spectators, and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all present, the beneficiare included. r for rote+ tionP Se ll i 111 29 2.71' , 10.
