From Frankfort we learn that a nptitication has been receivel in that market to the eff,:ct that a statement which has been circulated of the intended issue of another gaaranteed railway loan next Month is without any foundation. Notwithstanding the announcement that provi sion has been made for the half-yearly dividend due at the end of next month, Spanish shows a recovery of Only I, so that the price, which was about 37f 'While the late dishonest Government was in power, will be as low as about 32i when the dividend is deducted. The inference is that to the minds of Inv estors the former price must appear to have b een preposterously high, since it CAR hardly be s ' Posed that any businesss person could be found : 7110 woula not regard the security of the bondh Al. de be much greater now than at that period. At ," 13 Same time, however, there is reason to believe at the sugges ti on o f th e m a r ket having been he avily supplied by sales on account of the de v"rolled dynasty and its adherents was not without foundation. With reference to the statement that the terms of the proposed purchase of the East India Irri gation and Canal Company's works by the Secre t:4'Y of State for India include " a further sum suf 4teient to cover compensation to the managing body and officers, and thus to exonerate the proprietary cmaall liability in that respect," we are authorised r State that the terms provisionally agreed to by the Secretary of State, in regard to that sum, aro to give £50,000 as a bonus to he appropriated at the discretion of the shareholders, with a s tipulatio n that no claims for compensation on the Part of the company's officers, or others engaged 0 11 the works, shall be made on the Secretary of Etate."

WITCHCRAFT IN THE NIsIETEENTII CENTURY.- On Saturday last an elderly woman, named Head, a native of the fashionable town of Tunbridge Wells, was convicted and sent t o Maidstone Gaol fur two months' hard labour by the Hon. F. G. Molyneux, magistrate, on the charge of professing and pretending to tell fortunes. A respectable woman, named White, was jealous of her husband being too intimate with another woman, and, going to the old woman Head, who was pretty generally known in the neighbour hood as a fortune-teller, she inquired if her fears were true. The old woman said they were, but in a few days she would bewitch the other woman, as by burning a chemical com pound which she could obtain only at one shop, and which would cost ls., she would cause her to have the most ex cruciating pains. The woman White went home, but, being taken suddenly ill with severe pains, she rushed to the old woman's house and told her that she must have been burning the wrong woman. Head said she bad not then commenced the operation, so White went home, but in a short time became delirious, and still continues in that state.

Mr. Ericsson, in his letter, sa y s —" C a l cu l a ti ons w hi c h I have just completed have satisfied me that if the sun's rays, now wasting their strength on the house tops of Philadelphia, were condensed, they might be used to set 5,000 steam engines of 20-horse power each in motion. To give an instance, lot us suppose a Swedish square mile (equal to 40 English) covered with condensing apparatus and sun machines. Let one-half the surface be occupied by build ings, roads, ex., and we have still 648,000,000 square feet free for our purpose. Now, as my condensing apparatus has demonstrated 100 square feet to be amply sufficient for the production of one-horse power, it follows that 64,800 steam engines of 100-horsepower each can bo worked with the rays thrown on a Swedish square mile. I assert that by condensing the rays of the sun a force could be created that might arrest the earth in its course. In a thousand years or so— a drop in the ocean of time —there will be no coal left in Europa unless the sun be put in requisition. True, the rase of the sun aro often prevented from reaching us; but, with such a large magazine whence fuel may be obtained, without labour or transport to draw upon, experienced engineers will have no difficulty in laying up a store against the rainy day. A large portion of the earth's sur face is, moreover, illuminated by au ever unclouded sun. The area over which the sun machine can work may therefore, bo regarded as equally unlimited as the amount of force that can be generated." PERILS OF THE SEA.--The Times says it is rather staggering to find, in the face of all that modern science has effected for navigation, that, as rugards a very large class of vessels, the loss of life and property at sea during the last twenty or thirty years, so far from greatly diminishing or even remaining stationary, has actually very much increased. According to Mr. Hall, of New castle, who speaks with the authority of long professional experience, the rates of insurance "are now iu many cases double what they formerly were, and while at the low premiums of a quarter of a century ago underwriters realised fortunes the business is now most unprofitable, notwithstanding the high rates of the present day."

Very little change has occurred in barometrical pressure since yesterday, readings being nearly the same in all districts, but since last evening a tendency to decrease has shewn itself. The highest pressure is still in the north, and exceeds that at Cape Gris Nez by four-tenths of an inch. Temperature is a little higher than it was yesterday. Moderate north-easterly winds were generally prevalent resterday, but at Yarmouth the wind was strong, whilst in the S. of France a north-easterly gale was reported, which still continues. This morning the winds are generally north-easterly : in the N. of Scot land they are light, but in England and Ireland moderate. The ifs athcr is generally cloudy. Hail is reported from Brest. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NORTH &morn/um—At a meeting of Liberals held at Shrewsbury it was determined to start a candidate in oppo sition to Lord Newport and Mr. Gore for North Shropshire. Ur. Jebb, a county landowner, has accepted the nomination, and his address has been issued. Dunne UNIVERSITY.—Another candidate for the honour of representing the University of Dublin has sprung up. He dates from "the Temple, London," and signs himself T. D• Moschin. Mr. De Mesohin is a Liberal, and was until re cently a candidate for Marylobone, where, however, he found his chance of success hopeless. KENDAL.—Mr. Thomas Briggs, of Manchester, a candi date for Kendal in the Conservative interest, in opposition to Mr. J. Whitwell, Liberal. Mr. Briggs, in his address, speaking of the Irish Church, says :---" Upon the great question of the day, the disestablishment and dis endowment of the Irish Church, I am firmly convinced that disestablishment would be most injurious and disendow ment most unjust, and, therefore, if I have the honour to re present you in Parliament, I should give Mr. Gladstone's measure for the spoliation of the Irish Church my strongest opposition." SIIIIEWSBrICT—Mr. George Tomline, who has represented Shrewsbury for nearly 30 years, has offered himself to ths electors of Grimsby. NORTHAMPTON. —The Conservative candidates for the borough are Mr. Merewether, Recorder of Leicester, and Ur. Lendrick, late secretary to the Earl of Mayo. There are four Liberals in the field. BARNSTAPLE.—Finding his chances of election small, Mr. William Abbott, who dated an address from the Grosvenor Hotel, Belgravia, to the Conservative electors, has retired The Conservatives will now bring forward Capt. Williams a local gentleman of some influence. EAST CORNWALL.—Mr. N. Kendall, who has represented tile county ever since 1852, when he defeated Mr. Carew, the Conservative member, by a narrow majority, has retired from the contest. Mr. Brydgcs Willyams and §,ir Jo 4 Trelawny, the Liberal candidates, will therefore be elected without opposition. This is a gain of one seat—counting two votes on a division—to the Liberal party. The Times announces that all disputes now pendint between America and Great Britain are to be referred to a commission, consisting of four persons, two to be chosen by each Government, with power to nominate a fifth as umpire. To this commission will be submitted all questions that have arisen between the two Governments since 1853. The Alabama difficulty—that is, the primary question of whether Great Britain is liable for the depre dations committed by the cruiser—will be left to the arbi tration of a European monarch of the highest class. As the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Russia are both, according to the Times, considered ineligible, the King of Prussia is evidently the sovereign chosen. If the arbiter decide that England is liable for the losses in flicted by the Alabam. , , the commission will then go to work to determine the amount of the various individual claims. The recognition by England of the South as a belligerent is not to be pressed. The commission will also have to investigate the question of the denationalisation of British emigrants who become citizens of the United States, and the San Juan affair, which so nearly caused a war between the two countries nine years ago. The formal announcement that the difficulties between the two countries were at an end was made by Mr. Beverdy Johnson at the Guildhall.

He was taken up immediately, and it was found that the muscles of his leg were severely sprained. He is now confined to his bed, and his medical attendant, Dr. Campball, of Large, insists that ho must rest com pletely. There is, we b3lieve, a slight hope that Mr. Craufurd will ne able to make his appearance ou the hust ings at the electioe for the Ayr burghs.—Scotsman. THE MAYOR OF BIRSIINGIIAM'S BANQUET.—Mr. John Bright, M.P., attended the Mayor's banquet at Bir mingham last evening. He did not allude to politics fur ther than to say he hoped that, at the expiration of the contest, both parties will peacefully trust to the wisdom of the country, with its wide constituencies represented in Parliament, for beneficial measures and policy. Messrs. Bromley-Davenport, M.P. for North Warwickshire, and Dixon, M.P., also responded to the toast of the county and borough members. SIIUGGLING.—A holy of officers of her Majesty's Customs, headed by two examining officers, yesterday paid a visit to her klajesty's screw Indian Relief troopship Serapis, Capt. John C. Soady, now lying in dock at Ports mouth, aud, proceeding direct to the foretank room, pulled out, apparently to the great astonishment of those of the officers and crew standing by, 38 bags filled with leaf to bacco, which had been stowed away between the tops of the tanks and the deck beams. The whole was, of course, seized and conveyed to the Custom-house, where it was found to weigh within a few pounds of 18 cwt. No ow er was forthcoming. PAROCHIAL RATES.—In consecinenco of the complaints made in the parish of St. Pancras of the great increase of parochial taxation, the vestry has in sorted a printed notification on the application papers for the current half-year's rates, that they have no control whatever over the expenditure of the following rates, which they are required to collect and pay over:—£11,000 for the guardians, £13,806 for police, £9,239 county rate £1,157 Metropolitan Fire Brigade, £5OO Burial Board, £684 public baths and wash-houses, £BOO collectors' poundage and other expanses chargeable on the poor-rate and £3,720 towards providing for £9,433 deficiency on the List rate —total on poor rate acicoant, £73,916, being equal to a rata of ls. 6d. in the pound ; main drainage rate required by Metropolitan Board of Works, £11,573. The rates over which the vestry have control being the general rate of 6d. in the pound, and lighting rate I.d. in the pound. LEICESTER AND WALTHAM AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The annual ploughing match of this society took place on Tuesday last at Mowsley, on the farm of T. Wilson, Esq., of Knaptoft. The competition at this moot ing has for two or three years past been confined to bona frie farmers and farm servants, and on this occasion 27 mon and boys competed for the prizes. The champion prize (a silver cup or money), value five guineas ; a silver cup in the farmers' sons' class ; and the first prize in the boys' class, were won by competitors using Messrs. Ran somes' ploughs.—On the same day, at Newmarket, five out of the six first prizes (including the champion prize) were awarded to the work produced by the same implements ; whilst at Wells, by the same implements, on Tuesday, and Tenbury Wells on Thursday, the All England Prizes were both won by Messrs. BaLsomes' man, Barker. CIiAMPIONSIIIP OF TiIE THAMES.—There are two scullers' matches now pending, each for £2OO aside and the honour of the championship of the Thames. In the first, which is fixed for the 17th inst., Kelley, the vete ran, is pitted against a young and fresh aspirant, who has done wonderful performances on his native river, the Tyne. The second match is to take place on the Ist of December, between Kellay and Joseph Sadler—a sculler of much note, who has generally been unfortunate in his races after the first mile. Bath events aro to be rowed over the usual course of four miles and a quarter, from anindebnotil,,i are l i o m o r k t e s d o u f po th n e wi e th ou g n r t e r a y t . Putney to Mo i r .o tl w ate g. , interest by Kelley, after his ra any and severe contests, looks just DOW as we ll as ever, but it is said tha t h e rows rather stiflly and short. Betting on the first race was in favour of the Newcastle man until last week, when what spe culation there is on the matter was brought round to evens. BRIDGEWATER COLLIEIIIF.S.—The sinking and fixing of the last lift, or set of pumps, at the Mosley Com mon collieries, belonging to the Bridgewater Trust, has been completed. The depth is 1,020 feet, and the working of the collieries will give employment to a large number of persons, as there are four or five seams of coal, which will last for many years.
