Mr. Collard, the superintendent above alluded to, stated that in consequence of information received at Paddington by Mr. Saunders, the secretary, upon the arrival oC the express train, as to the serious oc currence to the guard, he (witness) awaited the arri val of the excursion train, and when it came in he took god care to prevent the egress of the occupants of No. 17 carriage until after he had made the inquiry which be con,idered necessary. He mentioned what had occurred at the Farringdon station, when several of the passengers denied all knwledge of the affair, and asserted positively that the bottle was not thrown from their carriage at all. Presently one of the gentlemen said that it was not thrown maliciously, and directly afterwards defendant admitted that he threw it at the request of a gentleman who had passed it to him, but it was not aimed at any one, and the unfortunate oc currence was therefore quite unintentional. The defendant, on being asked what he had to say, remarked that to the best of his belief it was not at a raj: way station that he threw the bottle. Mr. BROUGHTON—I can't allow you to be at liberty until I have some information as to the condition cf the guard; he may for aught I know have by this time lost his life through the injury he has sus tained. I don't for a moment believe that you in tended to do the poor fellow any harm, but under the circumstances I can't let you go without good security for your re- appearance. Mr. Collard said that he would proceed at once to Farringdon-road station and obtain a properly au thenticated certificate as to the wounded man's con dition. The defendant was, prior to the clo s i ng o f th e cour t , ted upon- two highly-respe c t a bl e persons put -6» • .• 4 4 ng ju Daitu l ' 'tin wm of 801. ea c h f or hi s b e i ng forth _ illing 3t , fikoiskyc , lock to-morrow (this day).

Jackson, Bishop Designate of Lyttelton, an account of the spiritual condition of the diocese which is to form the scene of his future labours, and of the principles and plans of the association propounding the settlement in New Zealand. Among those present we observed the Rev. C. B. Dalton, Rector of Lambeth; the Rev. W. Curling, Chaplain of St. Saviour'e, Southwark; Rev. A. Clissold, Minister of Stockwell Chapel; Rev. S. Statham, Incumbent of St. Peter's, Walworth ;, Rev. A. Nugee, Rev. J. C. Brown, Rev. W. Bowyer, Rector of Clapham, &c. The Rev. C. B. Dalton, having taken the chair, opened the proceedings by prayer, after which he informed the meeting that the bishop designate would leave England on Tuesday next, for New Zealand, and was expected to return in the course of a year, in order to be consecrated. The Rtv. T. Jacks o n, th e bi s h op designate, then ad dressed the meeting at great length and in a speech of considerabl e p ower , i n the course of which he drew England had lately been carrying on attention to the erroneous principles the work k n t w e h e ie nisation, and observed that, th instead of expatriat itnhgoeteh w e worst here woef found d p people, e e s e o mr refuse us—instead o in u e r te g e a d ol e s f , eo tr p o l sentroge n outeo u s those shovellingw h o represented out pre s o e n f t p e a d r u paupers , " the a s ,inniudoing what Mr. Charles B would r call " a bete tshtrial activity r we . should have Gentleman the intellectual and moral power, principle of the country. The heverendeG reviewed in a masterly manner the history of colo nisation from the earliest period down to the present time, and observed that in all cases where colonisa tion had been successful the best classes of the parent country had been represented, and that, in any detail of the kind which England should make, the religious element was too essential to be omitted. Mr. Jackson then described the geographical position of the settle ment as most favourable to the purposes of coloni sation, and spoke in terms of enthusiasm of the natural advantages of the soil, the general character of the climate, and the certainty with which every indus trious man might provide himself and his family. The address was listened to with attention, and the speaker was repeatedly applauded. A collection was made on behalf of the mission, and the rector an nounced his willingness to receive contributions for the same object during the year. MONEY MAR xET--The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, whi c h, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. p er ounce f ur standard gold, gives an ea change of 25.34; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.16 per cc..nt. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice; from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17e. 103 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exc h ange of 13.9 i; and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in Ham burgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 par cent., and th e 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 favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate loaves a small profit on the importgion of gold from the United States. in A the S l li n A dep M en F da i n G e n e T ß . elg A e, c 1: 10 E n Al e I o N f A t T h l e o I N 9th o , F letterF FATAL. says, " The manoeuvres of the troops collected here termi nated yesterday by a sham fight. The 18th regiment, com posed almost exclusively of Voles, was opposed to the 84th, mostly Prussians and inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces. The lire having opened between these two corps, at the first discharge three fell mortally wounded. The 18th had, it appears, loaded with ball. Orders were at once given to cease firing, but it was with difficulty that the officers could g,t the order obeyed. Amongst the three victims is a young man named Dietz, formerly the editor of an opposition jour nal. An investigation has been ordered, but it is not likely that it will be attended with any result." ~ ~1 Y; How TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH AND UTILITY OF THE ALMY WHILE DIMINISHING ITS NUMMEII.3.—At the Seaford Cliff explosion, Government allowed the Sappers and Miners to excavate and prepare the works.

Veron, the rcdacteur en chef, gives the following account of his introduction to M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte : "After the Revolution of February, my colleagues, my friends, and myself had only one c li en t— soc i e t y . It was to defend it that the Constitationnel carried on that rude war against anarchy and against So cialism ; supported the candidature of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, coincided in the message of the 31st Oc tober, and was the first to demand the revision of the Constitution with a prolongation of power for the actual President of the Republic. I had never seen Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, before his arrival in Paris as representative, when I received the follow ing letter : --"" Sir,— Wishirg to see near me all,the distinguished persons of my country, I naturally felt a desire to wake your acquaintance. Now that a mutual friend assures me that yell would accept an invitation to a friendly dinner, I eagerly avail myself of the oppor tunity of having some conversation with a man whom I have often heard spoken of, etc. (Signed) " LOUIS NAPOLEON B.' This first interview was for me an object of the most lively curiosity, I will say almost of emotion. The meeting was confidential ; I was certain not to find in Prince Louis Napoleon one of those ardent revolutionists, awakened by the coup de main of the 24th February, 1848, but the P r i nce h a d passe d several years in exile. He had studied ques tions of political economy ; he had followed the labours of different Socialist schools ; he might show himself to be• an impatient reformer, an im prudent and dangerous utopist. I was soon assured on this point. I think with the Constitutionnel,' said the Prince to me, that society must be replaced on eternal bases, that respect for the laws, for order, property, and family ties must be revived in the hearts of all, before important novations and great measures of progress are thought of.' In the interviews at various periods which I have had the honour to leave with the Prince, he neither sought to seduce me by the assured success of - his cause, nor to attrikct me bp promises. His simple and natural words overcharged neither his ideas nor hid sentiments. He inspired con fidence because he neither sought to move you,. , nor to lead you away. Thtis even in his every-day rela tions the Prince showed an impenetrable coldness, without, however, ceasing to be kind. That safety of discretion which he has fur himself he has also for others; his oldest friends declare that no one better deserves to have a secret confided to him. With the President of the Republic these solid qualities are shown by a politeness always equal and always re served ; in his manners and his serious phy siognomy, might be recognised a reflective mind which isolates itself, and which sudden and unexpected grandeurs had neither surprised nor puffed up with pride. In politics, at the time of the election of the 10th December, two new virtues were invented—attitude and calm. It was said that Gene ral Cavaignac had the former, and Prince Louis Na poleon the latter. I have never seen General Cavaig nac in his official receptions nor in the tribune, where he obtained more than one success; I, therefore, cannot judge of the merit of his attitude. As to Prince Louis Napoleon, it is in him an equality of temper which no external impression, no movement of soul appears able to disturb. Calm is a statesmanlike quality which even his enemies cannot refuse him. Without here completing this portrait, which I have only sought to sketch by way of document, I will confess that I feel confidence in this elevated, serious, and resolute character. When the Constitutionnel had to declare itself fur one of the candidates for the Presidency of the Republic, I would not, however, follow the dictates of my per sonal feelings, and I more particularly consulted M. Thiers on the subject. None of the articles which supported the candidateship of the Prince were in serted until they had been read and approved of by that eminent statesman." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Tne ad vices received by the America state that improved accounts from Liverpool and Manchester had given rather more life to a previously quiet market at New York. They also speak as unfavourably of the growing crop as did the last reports. Lflaeneed by these s t a t ements, the Liverpool market opened briskly yesterday morning, with the requirement of an additional id. per lb; but as the holders showed a disposition to be realising, a tameness ensued, and Jfully one half of the attempted gain was lost. But the ten dency of the raw material to rise in some degree has helped to bring forward again some of the buyers of export yarns, who were already prepared to operate from the actual want of supplies fo r t h e i r customers. Large orders have been received from the European continent, and the merchants have effected a fair amount of purchases. The India h ouses h ave a l so bought with some freedom in various numbers up to 60's, to which they have been encouraged by the im provement which is going in those articles at Calcutta. The consequence is a rise of id. per lb. in bundles of almost all qualities, whether mulp or water, and in some kinds F'. The home comumers of low and medium counts, having a bad trade for their fabrics, are working up their stocks, at.d making on ly f ew and trifling purchases. The value of th e yarns t h ey use is, however, firmly maintained. Doubled yarns continue dull; and the finer counts of single h ave not been much called for, either by our own ntractsmanu facturers, or by the Russian buyer s , w h ose term o f a sh re i pminenptosisses possession n ar o ly f outarmunpleco. In toe de partment of goods there has been no res p onse t o ; but the s pi nners the movement in cotton and yarns. The home buyers want confdence to operate; an d t h e mer chants .receive discouraging accounts from most foreign markets. The letters which ca me t o h an d last night, fr o m C a lcutta, exhibit a serious loss upon shirtings and most other cloths. The Brazilian markets continue depressed ;. and the malignant fever was re - appea ring in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro. At Constantinople an unfavour able effect was produced upon prices by the report of a decline in Manchester ; and there were but few orders reaching the market froin'the in terior. With such advices, these several classes of buyers have stood decidedly aloof from business to day ; and, as - stocks have - ndw - rather accumulated in the hands of the manufacturers, ' some degree of weakness, and a:great deal of irregularity, have shown themselves in prices. We understand that the stop • page of looms, or the placing them on short time, is now extending in varions districts; and the state of this ;day's market must cause a further adoption of that measure. We do not hear of the return to work of any of the self-acting spinners. ROCHDALE, MONDAY. —We have had considerable activity in the flannel market again to-day, and a fair business at former, prices. There has been a rather better demand for wool, and the manufactu rers have shown a greater disposition to buy than on the previous Monday. Prices are firm. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAI.-11e1; is evidently more doing this week, but our manufacturers still complain of unremunerating prices. In thrown silk there is also a good deal doing, but at prices inade quate to the present price of raws ; the mills, how ever, are working full time, in consequence, we presume, of orders for thrown silk from the conti nent being still on hand. There has again been a large business done in raws this week, at full prices, and we understand some of the merchants are now hold • ing for higher rates. The overland dispatches from India and China are now in, and fully confirm the accounts of short crop in the latter country, which is now declared will not be more than that of last sea son, viz., a deficiency of one•fourth as compared with former seasons ; but this scarcity may in some mea sure be counteracted through a considerable quantity having been sent by the overland route, and conse quently will arrive here two or three months earlier than by ship. By these means we shall have more raw silk on our markets here for a time, and less on the way. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market conti nues to be pretty brisk, though the amount of goods that have changed hands has not been so large as the previous weeks. Several foreign buyers are in town, and have been during th e week, b ut seem to b e with holding th e i r orders, in the hopes of buying job stocks, although there has been an advance in the wool market. HALIFAX SATURDAY, --There were but few mer chants in the Piece-hall to-day, and the inquiry for goods is not so bridi as it has been, but there is a pretty fair business doing, chiefly to order. The ex port houses are not giving out fresh orders for yarn so freely as they were; but the spinners have full em ployment, and there is no change in the quotations. The wool market is not very active, and the sales that are made cre at full late rates. LEEDS, TUESDAY. —We — Continue to have good average markets at the cloth halls, and the woollen trade generally is in a satidactory state. The clothiers are well employed by direct orders from the mer chants, and business is good in the warehouses, both for the home and shipping trade. AFFAIRS OF CALIFORNIA. (From the Pacific News of August 1.) Since the sailing of the last steamer the condition of the overland emigration has taken the strongest hold of public attention. The immense crowd who are coming to California by the route of the plains is beyond the capacity of that region to sustain their teams ; and towards the latter end of the journey, when within about 300 miles of the Pacific side, about the sink of Mary's river, the teams have given out - , and there will be an utter inability on the part of thousands to pass the Sierra Nevada, unless assisted from this side. This is already prepared to be done by private enterprise, and there is no probability of fatality from destitution before the end of the journey is reached. Another great object of public interest has been the great number of murders and assassinations which have lately taken place in the San Joaquin mines, most of which have been traced to the fo reigners of Spanish descent, and but one opinion is expressed—namely, that they shall and must quit the country, or abide, perhaps, extreme consequences. Meetings have been held to that effect, and some of the first citizens of the country are appointed to see the undertaking carried into effect. The foreign miners' tax has worked well, either compelling aliens to pay for their intrusion upon our treasures or compelling them to leave the placers for our daily-arriving fellow-citizens. The mines are yielding largely at present, but there is more associated labour in the, forming of dams, &c., than formerly, as isolated enterprise has not been so successful as heretofore. The gold region has scarcely been scratched yet, but the surface of the richest places has been superficially dug;over, although not a tithe of the mineral deposit has been extracted. A settlement has been formed on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, in the upper end of Carson Valley, by the Mormons, and, from its agricultural capacities, is likely to flourish, although the gold on that side has not been found in great abundance. A perma nent settlement there will be of great importance to future emigration, overland, as they will be within a short distance of that desert where all real danger is apprehended by the belated or exhausted emigrant. There has been no further news of collision between the American settlers and the Indians on the Trinity river. The mines there have not turned out well so far. (From the San Francisco Herald of August 1.) The numerous murders in the southern mines have exasperated the citizens of Tuolumne county to such a degree that, assembled in mass meeting, they have issued peremptory orders for all foreigners to leave the country fortwitb. Fifteen days is the limit allowed by this mandate for their preparation to depart. A committee of citizens has been appointed to determine what foreigners shall be permitted to remain, and all the Americans in the county have been called upon to lend their aid to carry the order into effect. Bands of foreigners are already leaving, and it is highly pro bable the expulsion will take place without any dis turbance. The four Mexicans that were found in the act of burning the bodies of two Americans near Sonora have been acquitted of the charge of murder. The waters have fallen in the upper and lower mines, and already the miners are availing themselves of the advantages of the season for the prosecution of their operations. In most instances the average yield is greater than in any former season, and there is every prospect that more gold will be collected this summer than ever before. Several crushing machines are being put in operation in the Mariposa and other mines where the gold bearing quartz is found in suf ficient quantity to repay the outlay. Exploring par ties have found gold farther up the slope of the Sierra Nevada than it has hitherto been sought for. Parties are every day extending their explorations, and while the dry season lasts the miners seem determined to employ their time diligently. The law for the collection of taxes from foreign miners, although carried partially into execution in some of the counties, has generally been inoperative. The amount of revenue derived from it is very small, and it has had a very injurious effect in the southern mines. A development has recently been made in the Pro bate Court of this county which has taken our citizens by surprise. The judge has been charged by Captain Folsom, one of our most respectable citizens, who is agent for the large Leidesdorff estate, with having sought a bribe for deciding in his favour a suit com menced by the public administrator, to gain posses sion of the estate in virtue of his office. The charge implicates the counsel of the public administrator, Messrs. Dwinelle and Holland, whose fees i❑ the transaction were fixed at 5,000 dollars each. The case will be brought before the District Court for in vestigation. The most gratifying activity prevails in this city at present. New buildings, mostly of brick, are going up in every quarter, and the most extensive arrrange ments are being made for the fall trade. It is ex pected that a very large amount of business will be transacted during the coming season, and the prepa rations for it are on a scale proportionate to its antici pated extent. THE NICARAGUA ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 23.—We understand that the Nicaraguan route to California was to be opened for traffic on and after the 15th of September. Grey town (the ci decant San Juan de Nicaragua), the Atlantic port of the new route, can be reached direct in 26 days by the West Indian mail steamers from Southampton twice a mouth, and also by the Liver pool and New York steamers. We extract from the New York Herald the following description of the route referred to : " The States of Central America are too little known, even to our own countrymen, who are daily becoming more immediately connected in unity of in terests, politically and commercially, with them, and with thrir prosperity. It appears almost self-evident that our population will soon prefer the route to Cali fornia by Nicaragua to that by Panama. Companies of men travelling to California will find the latter route much less advantageous than the former. The whole state of comparison between the two may be comprised in a few words. In passing from one ocean to the other, by the way of Panama, an econo mical person will have to pay, in the way of detention and other ificideetal expenses, about 75 doll ars . B y the Nicaraguan route, 15 dollars will suffice to trans port him across the country. Tolerable accommoda tions may be obtained for about nine dollars, and one may go across in a cart for seven dollars. When the steamers of the Nicaraguan Company are running, the passage will be made, through Nicaragua, in 23 hours, or in ten hours less than by Panama. ven were the advantages of speed greater over Panama, the sa lubrity of the climate by the Nicaraguan route must be deemed an advantage that Panama cannot possess. The Nicaragua route is, also, by many a mile, nearer to all the ports of the United States and Calafornia, and this is an important advantage in shortening the passage. So much ;interest will be taken in this new route that we will look at it more closely. The first point on the Atlantic is the port of San Juan del Norte. This is a neat town, having large houses, ca capable of containing from 30 to 50 persons, and we are informed that large companies can obtain these shelters for about a dime a day eac h :p erson . F rom San Juan to Grenada the river is ascended for about 90 miles to the lake, through which, to Granada, 90 miles more have to be passed. On the lake, at nume rous points, provisions are abundant and very cheap, while fine hunting and game give charms to the tra veller. At Granada, a city of 12,000 inhabitants, all the comforts of life are to be found. From this latter place to Realejo, on the Pacific, which may be reached by a good cart-road, there are a number of towns and cities. The scenery in this region is full of tro pical grandeur and loveliness, such as Humboldt has recently described with such vivid earnestness of colouring in his Cosmos. Beautiful valleys, magni ficent.mountains, extensive lakes, clear skies, luxuri ant vegetation, delicious air, and a healthful climate invite the traveller, and designate it as the country which will soon furnish the popular path to Califor nia. The railroad across Panama will thrive in the course of two or three years, and will carry over much freight, but the passenger traffic will be chiefly car ried on by the new steamers of the Nicaraguan route. THE COMMERCE OF LIBERIA. To the commercial men of our country, Liberia presents herself as a theatre of extensive and lucrative business operations. Palm oil is produced by the nut of the palm-tree, which grows in the greatest shun., dance throughout Western Africa. The demand for it, both in Europe and America, is daily increasing, and there is no doubt it will, ere long, become the most important article of trade. Camwood, red wood, bar wood, and other dye woods are found in great quantities in many parts of the country. About thirty miles east of Bsssa Cove is the com mencement of a region, of unknown extent, where scarcely any tree is seen except the Camwood. This boundless forest of wealth, as yet untouched, is easily accessible to that settlement; roads can be opened to it with little expense, and the nei g hb our i ng Ki ngs will readily give _ their co-operation to a measure so vastly beneficial to themselves. One Liverpool house imported COO tons in a single year, worth about 50,000 dollars. Ivory is procurable at all points, and constitutes an important staple of commerce. It is iuppooed that flora 150,000 to 20 0 , 000 dowe'.•ventil is annually exported. Gums of different kinds enter largely into commercial transactions. The house re ferred to above imported, in three years, into Liver pool, of gum senegal, nearly 600,000 dls. Dyes of all shades and hues are abundant, and they have been proved to resist both acids and light. Gold, which is found at various points of the coast—from the Gambia to the Bight of Benin, and probably to a much greater extent—is obtained by the natives by washing the sand which is brought down from the mountains by the rivers. Besides these may be specified wax, hides, horns, pepper, ginger, arrowroot, ground nuts, copper, mahogany, teak, and Gambia wood. Cotton of a very beautiful staple, yielding two crops a year, is indigenous, and thrives for twelve or fourteen years in succession without renewal of the plant. Coffee, of a quality superior to Java or Mocha, is raised in Liberia, and can be cultivated with great ease to any extent. It bears fruit from thirty to fourty years, and yields ten pounds to the shrub yearly. A single tree in the garden of Colonel Hicks (colonist), at Monrovia, is said to have yielded sixteen pounds at one gathering. Sugar cane grows in unrivalled luxuriance, and, as there are no frosts to be dreaded, can be brought to much greater perfection than in our souther❑ states. Indigo, caoutchouc, tamarinds, limes, oranges, lemons, and many other articles which are brought from tropical countries to this, might be added to the list. Indeed there is nothing in the fer tile countries of the East or West Indies which may not be produced in Western Africa.—Colonization Herald. HIGHWAY ROBBERY byMISTAKE The following singular adventure is related in the French journals :—A party of gentlemen met a few days since for a day's shooting in the neighbourhood of Montereau. The house in which the sportsmen spent the night was situate half-way up a declivity overlooking the high road. At about two o'clock in the morning one of the inmates hearing a noise, raised a cry that their vehicle was being stolen. The party were soon astir, and hearing a noise of wheels as of a coach going off; seized their weapons and rushed out in pursuit of the thieves, whom they soon suc ceeded in coming up with, thanks to a cross cut. The first of the party on the spot immediately seizad the horses' heads and stopped the carriage short. The people inside the carriage upon this immediately be gan to cry " Thieves !"—adegreeof audacity at which our sportsmen grew exasperated, end cocking their guns they levelled them at the driver. The latter per sonage, together with the individuals inside the car riage, were seized with terror at this demonstration, and precipitating themselves from their seats, rushed off into a neighbouring coppice; where they were presently lost sight of. Congratulating them selves on the recovery of their carriage, the sports. men returned with it in triumph dead beaten, but swelling with pride at their exploit. It was now determined the carriage should be safely secured in the coachhouse, but what was their surprise at finding the place already occupied by their own carriage, which the servant had placed there the night before without their knowledge. The cry of " thieves," which they bad considered as the height of audacity on the part of the travellers, was new accounted for, and the gentlemen thus interrupted in their journey were the bone; fide owners of the carriage which they h,id been but too glad to abandon, in order to save their lives threatened by a band of armed ruffians. The affair was serious, and in order to avoid the accu sation of robbery on the Republic's highway, accom panied with violence and other aggravating circum stances, it was deemed expedient before retiring to rest to knock up the authorities and apprise them of the circumstances on which they relied for their defence.

SUBURBAN VILLAGES.—A correspondent of the Builder says—Being a working man, and moving amongst that class continually, I hear a great deal about the desira bility of early trains on some of the lines of railway, that for a small sum would set a man down in London a few minutes before six in the morning, and in like manner remove him from this Babylon in the evening. I feel assure 1 that were this the case, suburban villages would grow up of themselves; and a great deal of the hard -earned money of our artizans, instead of finding its way into the doctor's pocket, would, if not "saved," at any rate serve a more satisfactory purpose in providing for increased appetites, and rearing a more healthy population. The speculation (as far as the railway is con cerned) would probably not succeed at once, as it would take s. , me little time for a sufficient number of mechanics to " move," to ensure full trains: but depend upon it an arrange ment of this kind would soon be taken advantage of. Pro bably a better "spec." would be for a few of our capitalists to secure a piece of land ten or a dozen miles out, and build, says 800 or 1,000 houses, and lay down a single line of rails for the use of the new town only, with trains every hour from five in the morning to ten at night. The sum paid for rent to include a ticket for a free passage on the said railway; and, by the way, a town laid out at once in this way would form a rare opportunity for what is now so much needed— perfect sanitary arrangements, water supply, &c. ONE OF ALADDIN'S JEWELS .FOUND.—Sacra mento (California) Transcript notices a discovery in the Auburn dry diggings of a beautiful quartz crystal, as clear as amber, and about three inches long and five inches in cir cumference, of which the following description is afforded : In the centre appear the most beautiful variety of forms and shapes ever presented to the eye. A cluster of green metallic moss—an enclosed formation like an amethyst— streaks of varigated hues and colours, perfectly transparent; and from the centre to the circumference of the crystal innu merable shoots jut out of some metallic substance, bearing an exact resemblance to the shining blue steel hair-spring of a watch.

HULL, SEPT. 24. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—The weather has been rather broken since our last, but the rain would be very acceptable to the farmers, who have lately complained much of so long a continuance of dry weather. There has been a fair business passing in all articles of the trade, and at full prices. To-day we had only a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, con dition not quite so good as last week: the millers were only slow buyers at last week's currency. More inquiry for red foreign; some of the present import goes to granary. A continued good sale for barley, of which the arrivals are now more moderate. Beans and feeding peas find a consumptive demand. Arrivals of linseed increase, but the market is well supported, as is also the advance in cakes noted last week.

Oats were in moderate demand at 2s 5d per 451bs for the best new mealers. New oatmeal was mther 'ewer, and 22s 6d per load wan the eatrerae price obtainable. Barley, beans, and peas, met with a slow sale at late rates. Flour was in improved demand at the full prices of Tuesday last for American, but rather lower terms were taken for French.

Yesterday a Court was held; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY. Some of the members having complained that the contractor for the works had not taken care to replace the large stones which had been removed in the pro gress of the works, and that much danger and incon venience to the public had been the consequence, Mr. Chadwick, the contractor, was called in and ques tioned upon the subject. The contractor stated that the most laborious ex ertions were being made to finish the extensive works, and that he had had to encounter the greatest dal culties ; that in several places it had been necessary to take up the pavement four or five times ; that it was impossible, at times, to get the men to work ; and that the masters complained of the conduct of the con tractor in monopolizing the employment of labourers all over the City. He said, however, that he expected the whole of the enormous works would be completed by Saturday next.—(Hear, bear.) He believed it would then be acknowledged that the greatest pave' went operations ever undertaken were finished to the satisfaction of the public.—(Cheers.) Mr. Heywood, the surveyor of the Court, presented a report to the following effect:— "It has recently been reported to me, that within the last few months several loads of fish-shells and other refuse have been thrust down the gully gratings in the f Billingsgate-market, by which not only has a serious impediment at times arisen to the proper action of the sewers, but expense has become chargeable upon this Commission for the removal of the:obstruction. In certain courts, in which sewers of small diameter have been laid, the gullies have been constructed in such a manner as to intercept solid substances thrust down th e gratings, and prevent any thing but liquids passing i n to the sewers. In one i nstance, a gully so constructed has been obliged to be cleansed twice.a week, such has been the quantity of rubbish thrown down it, and the whole of such gullies in the poorer neighbourhoods are fre quently choked up, and require constant attention. I have before mentioned to your H on . C our t, that the practice which exists in th e p oorer n e i g hb o urhoodst , 0f throwing shells o f fi s b, c i n d ers, and every imagina b l e refuse down the gullies, is fraught with great evil to the sewage, and consequent expense to this Commission, an d I am induced to bring the subject again before you, es , after the best and constant attention fur the last two years, it is fo un d a l most i mpossible to keep the sewers,e ; in certain dist r i c t s c l ear , the i nhabitants appear i n g consider each s t reet gu ll y as a proper and leg i t imat dust-bin. By the 69th clause of the City of London Sewers Act, th e act o f throwing improper su bstane i. cs . down gullies is cons i tute d an offence, and made punish able able by fine, and pr o l a bl y t h e detection and conv i c tion ot one or two offenders would do more towards its pre . ; ventiou than anything else, and it appears to me that l is by the age nc y o f the pol i ce that this detection can be best accomplished ; for, as the police are at all hours on duty in the p u bli c thoroughfares, the offence must frs quently come und er th e i r o b servat i on, and I b eg to sub mit for your consideration the question as to the exP e diency of calling th e a t tent i on of the Comm i ss ioner o f Police to this nuisance."—(Hear, hear.) ordered The report wa s agree d to, an d a copy was d. to be sent to th e C omm i ss i oner o f Police.—Adjourae HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK* (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths reg o ' tered in the Lond on districts were 858—a result which, comparatively, must be considered as a favour able indication of the state of the public health. 111 the same week of 1846, there were 863 deaths; in that of 1847, 1,169 ; i n 1848 , 1,038; an d in the same week of 1849 there were 1,981. The averag e of ten corresp on di ng wee k s, correcte d f or increase o, population, is 1105 ; and the present return shoo a decrease of 247 on the estimated weekly mortality' In last week se ven d ea th s were reg i stered from Oa. pox, and four were persons of 25 years and wards. Of these, a seaman brought from the pre% nought hospital ship, age d 28 years, di e d i n t h e Snoi, pox Hospital ( w hi c h i s now remove d to t h e we st sue district of Islington) of "small-pox, confluent, tleP r o ° ; tected (11 days' ill nes ) ;" an d a ma il d r i ver , aged 2d years, brought from the Marylebone workhouse, di:, also in the hospital of " small-pox, confluent, unnieehl. fled (12 days)." He had been vaccinated in r ut :" but had no cicatrix. A man died of the same disease in Henry-street, Marylebone, at the age of '269 sc- ps is stated to have been vaccinated. Two fatal cages also occurred in the sub district of Cripplegate, le no t bee, of which a woman of 28 years, who had vaccinated, died in child-bearing, after an small-pox. Measles was fatal to 10 children, sea ria ‘ tine to 30, hooping-cough to 29. Of these three coa l : plaints the two former exhibit less than the overall' mortality. Typhus was fatal to 38 persons; intend mittent fever, remittent fever, infantile fever, an rheumatic fever, were each fatal in one case- 1 , (1 t he corresponding weeks of four years (1846 -9 .„a deaths fkom typhus were respectively 34, 111,5°, in 73.
