Tne tsant return is more favourable than was ex pected from the extent to which gold has been sent away in connection, as is believed, with the French loan. The bullion has fallen -off rather considerably, but the stock is still within a fraction of twenty-one millions, while the diminution in the reserve still leaves that item above eleven millions and a quarter. There is a reduction in the private securities, indi c•ating a lessened demand for money, a condition which seems to be confirmed by the addition made to the private deposits. The public deposits again show a reduction, but there has been a repayment of temporary advances made under the head of Govern ment Securities. The following are the actual changes since the preceding . return : Decrease in Circulation Decrease in Public Deposits. Increase in other Deposits...

This was an application on the part of Risk Allah to Master Hodgson for the damages, £960, paid into court in his action agairist the Daily Telegraph by order of Mr. Justice Montague Smith should be paid out to him. Mr. Leckford, from the office of Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, attorneys for the Daily Telegraph, men tioned that there had been an attachment from the Lord Mayor's Court at the instance of the City Offices Company (Limited), and from the affidavit of Mr. Ellis it appeared the matter had been settled by the parties, and Messrs. Hughes and Masterman, the solicitors for the company,consented to the pre sent application. He would suggest that the attachment shoull be dissolved before the applica tion was granted. A Clerk from the office of Messrs. Keates and Ellis said the action by the City Company had been settled, and there could be no objection to the plaintiff getting his damage;, which had been paid into court. The costs hal been pail in this action and the damages were in court. Mister Hodgson sail he ha I no difficulty on this affidavit to make the order. He had done 30 in a similar case of other parties. He ma le the order for the paymcut of the damages to Ilk& Allah. POLICE INTELLIGENCE'.-THIS DAY. THAMES. A FEMALE TICKET-OF-LEAVE CONVlCT.—Eliza beth Drummond, a notorious thief, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with not fulfilling the conditions of her license or ticket of leave. The charge was preferred by Inspector Gee, of the K division of police, by order of the commis sioners. The prisoner has been three times before M r . Benson in the course of the last three weeks, once for robbing a policeman of his watch, from which she was discharged, and again for robbing a sailor, on which sh 3 was remanded. This case was very clear against her, but when she was brought before Mr. Benson a second time it was stated that the prosecutor had gone to Liver pool. She lived in a notorious brothel, No. 2, Angel-court, Shadwell, where numerous robberies had been committed. A woman was committed a few days since for a robbery in this most infamous den in -the district. She was sentenced to five years' penal servitude on the 2d of October, 1864, for assault and robbery, and previous to that she was in prison for twelve months for another offence. Oue of the conditions of her license was that she should not habitally associate with notoriously bad characters, such as reputed thieves and prostitutes, and not lead an idle, dissolute life. Inspector Gee proved by the evidence of himself and Donald Mackay, 275 K, that the prisoner had violated both conditions, and that she associated with the worst of characters. he prisoner seemed very penitent. She expressed her sorrow for what she had done. She promised to lead a better life in future. Mr. Paget said that if he sent the prisoner back to a convict prison she would have to remain in prison nearly 14 months, which was a long time. He thought the case ought not to be pressed. Inspector Gee said the prisoner had been twice charged with robberies since she had received her ticket-of-leave. Mr. Paget—Not before me, and she was dis charged on each occasion. lle should remind the prisoner for a week, and he desired the inspector to make known his intentions to the Commissioners of Police. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.-(7 HIS DAY). The metropolis was this morning visited by a serious fire, which was attended by the destruction of a large amount of property, and unfortunately accompanied with fatal consequences to one per son and the miraculous escape of several others. About a quarter past 5 o'clock this morning a police-constable, of the K Division, in passing along his usual beat, noticed a body of smoke issuing from the premises belonging to Mr. F. \\. Oyler, a grocer, situate No. 6, Ker bey-street, Poplar. The officer, feeling satisfied that a fire had commenced in the building set about arousing the inmates, and, with one exception, they were enabled, owing to the exertions of the escape man and police, to reacla the street, but nearly stifled with heated smoke. The propriet)r, Mr. Oyler, who was only 21 years of age, fell a victim to the flames, and he was burned to death. An abundant supply of the East Lledon Company's water having been procured the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the premises and their contents were destroyed and the roof off. The origin of the calamity is unknown. It is supposed that the property was insured in the Imperial Fire oah, T.ie boly will remain at the dead-house until the Coroner's inquest is held. BALLOON ASCENT.—An interesting journey dir,ctly across London was made on Monday last by two of Mr. Coxwell's pupils, viz., Captain \Voodgate and Mr. F. Norris. The balloon left the Crystal Palace at a quar ter to five o'clock, and descended at the Alexandra Park, Muswellll, at G. 39. The united ascents of the two voyagers who piloted the balloon amount to nearly a hundred, all of which have Deoa nude with Mr. Cez well. rttliactsiltlGNUE otiAttich AND srocKs.

A. novel gathering has just been witnessed at Manheim, in the Lancaster county of the United States. Some 25,000 persons of a new sect, deno minated " Perfect Love, or Entire Sanctification Religionists," have held a "national camp meeting," and the religious interest manifested is said have amounted at times to a perfect furore. The " perfect loveists" must not be confounded with the " free love ists," whose religion countenances a sensualism worse than that of the Mormons. " Perfect love," accord ing to a New York paper, "is based upon the principle of doing more unto thy neighbour than thy neighbour is able to do unto thee—that is, if you have ten dollars and your neighbour, has not a red cent split the ten and give him five. It also forbids you letting your angry passions rise upon any pretence ; therefore no bald-headed proselyte is allowed to get vexed in fly time. Mosquitoes and gnats are considered little blessings in disguise, and the greater troubles of life are merely put upon you to prepare you for entire sanctification. If you break your leg, be :thankful it was not your neck. If your neighbour cheats yoa out of a thousand dollars, give thanks that it was not five thousand. If your house burns dawn, thank Heaven your wife and children were not consumed in it. If your wife runs away with your brother in perfect love, shout aloud " Glory hallelujah !' for that is, indeed, a piece of good luck which calls for unbounded thanksgiving." The camp meeting was held ostensibly to elucidate the doctrines of entire sanctification ; but, if the re ports furnished by a writer present are correct, a more disgusting exhibition of profanity could not have been enacted. Fanaticism was rampant, and ignorance revelling in its own delight. Spare us tln - 4 new form of " perfect love !" THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1868. SHARE LIST.

Yesterday the British Archaeological Association made an excursion to Thames Head from Cirences ter, when Mr. G. R. Wright read a paper on this subject. Mr. Wright commenced by remarking that, like the source of the Nile and other great rivers, the source of the Thames had given rise to much ink shedding, and after referring to the Nile controversy, he said there could be little doubt that the Thames found its source in a large marshy district in water, though dry enough now, almost north of the well-known Fossway, in the parish of Kemble, in that county (Gloucestershire), filled with a number of springs, and from a combina tion of which a rivulet first, then a stream, and afterwards a river was male. He eudorsed the opinion of Rudder, expressed in his ‘, His tory of Gloucestershire," as to the origin of the Thames. The name of the river had caused much trouble to antiquaries, who had called it the Theme or Tame, the Isis, and the Ouse. After quoting Rudder at some length Mr. Wright quoted the opinion of Mr. Llwyd (of course a Weshinau), to the effect that where the Latins used the M the 13,itons used the V. Firmu3, Firy. Fertninus, Fervin, &a., and he thinks that Tav, or Taff, was originally the same word with Tame, or Thames, and " Tamos " in Potamos was probably no other. Although this conclusion of the worthy topographer would by many of his (Mr. Wright's) hearers he considered a fanciful one he was inclined to give great belief to it, not only from the fact that a Greek word like Potamos, which they all knew meant a river, might easily have been intro duced, like many other Greek words, into the country long before the conquest of it by Caesar, by reason of the great traffic which had for centu ries gone on with the Phoenicians and the other navigating tribes of the east of Europa with Britain for tin and other mineral products of our country, but also from the further knowledge we possessed that throughout the languages of the world we had many kindred forms of words which, however diffi cult now to trace the origin of, had, no doubt, ori ginally had one common one, and that one, in all probability, a Phoenician or a Grecian one. He need only cite as an illustration out of many hun dreds that might be given, if time permitted, the word " Father," which in most European languages from very early times had a similar spelling and sound as Pater (Latin), from the Greek Ilanip ; Rre (French), Vater (German), &c. Thus in seek ing to prove that our river Thames was originally derived from the Greek word " Potamos," a river, and shortened to Tamos—as the " Po" in Greek was an old prepodtion he hoped he should not offend any Ancient Briton's feelings; because if his view was correct—and Rud der and others suggested it—there was no rea son to doubt that the British themselves adopted it, and at last made it their own ; so much so as to incorporate it in their language as the best way of signifying a river or stream, and there it remained apparently a pure British word when the Romans came, and ultimately, in their famous and fanciful manner, married, so to speak, the Tame, or Tatno, to the god Isis, and produced, let us hope for all time, now our present wide-world-known and re spected " Old Father Thames." Mr. Wright added that. by the kindness of their worthy treasurer, Mr. Gordon Hills, he was enabled to give them an evi dence of the early use of the word " Tamyse " for the name of our river, in an extract from a charter to Malmesbury Abbey in the year 931 by Athel stan. The deed says Et sic per fossatutn directe usque in rivulo de Tatnyse," &c. Still there were other antiquaries who completely dif fered with him, and the late secretary of the pa rent body of all archaeological associations, Mr. J. Yonge Akerman, was one of these. The earliest mention of the parish of Kemble as the place where the river rises was in a cartulary contained in the Lansdowne MS., No. 417, Jo. 2, B. The Thames and Severn Canal, formed nearly 100 years ago, had materially affected this and other springs of the neighbourhood as the pumping went on day and night in the engine-house close by the Fossway for the supply of water to the canal. Yet the true soringhead of the river Thames is to be found in what was called Trewsbury Mead, on the other side of the great Roman road, and near the celebrated high ground on which Trewsbury Camp was situated, where it burst forth in wet and winter seasons in a large volume of water, similar to and as large as one of the London fire-plugs when first opened, and this supplying source would, no doubt, have been kept up in all seasons had it not been for the works in question.

A paper was read last night at a m3eting, held iu the Assembly Room, Mr. Planche iu the chair, on this subject by Mr. Lerein, M.A., F.S.A. Mr. LEVEIN recounted some of the most notable of the literary forgeries, on record, ex gr. the sup posed letters of Byron and Shelley, forty-seven of the former and twenty-three of the latter, which had been executed with great skill. The whole series is now iu the British Museum, No. 19,377 in the col lection of MSS. The work "De Situ Britannia," which was produced as being that of Richard of Cirencester, was particularly remarked upon by Mr. Levein, and drew forth an observation from Mr. Black that this forgery was one of the most demoralising facts of the age as affecting general history. EARLY FLINT IMPLEMENTS. Professor BUCKMAN produced a number of flint weapons, the greater part of which he had picked up on his farm at Bradford Abbas, Dorset—a farm of about 400 acres. He contended that they all exhibited proofs of being manufactured, and that the sharp edges and rounded surfaces were not natural or accidental, but artificial. He had a bushel or two at home, besides what he had given away, and he picked them in his walk almost daily. They were being continually turned up in agricul tural operations. He picked out several small flints (somewhat of the shape of a split egg) which he said were " thumb scrapers," and used to scrape skins by fellmongers. There was no discussion upon them. - _ HIE SURFACE OF MARS. One of the most singular features of the martial globe is the prevalence of long and winding inlets and bottle-necked seas. These features are wholly distinct from anything known ou our earth. For example, Huggin's Inlet is a long f3rked stream, far too wide to be compared to any terrestrial river, extending for about three thousand miles from its two-forked commencement, near Airy Sca, to the point at which it falls into the Maraldi Sea. Bessel Inlet is nearly as long. Another inlet, called in the chart Nasmyth Inlet, is yet more remarkable. Commencing near Tycho Sea, it flows to the east, running parallel to that sea and Beer Sea. It then turns sharply southivards, and, expanding, forms Kaiser Sea. Oudemann's Inlet connects, appa rently, two bell-shaped seas ; but it is not quite clear whether these seas are separated or not by an interval of land from Beer Sea. The bottle necked seas or lakes are singular features. The seas connected by Oudemann's Inlet probably form a twin pair of seas of this sort. Two very remarkable seas, closely resembling each other in figure, and each of which is separated from Delarue Ocean by a narrow curved strait, are very noteworthy features. Were it not for their enor mous real dimensions—each sea is at least 300 miles long by 150 broad, and the channels which connect them with Delarue Ocean are fully 250 miles long —one would be disposed to detect in their singular resemblance the evidence of artificial construction. The same remark applies to two closely-resembling flask-shaped seas, which flow into Tycho Sea. Another well-marked sea of this sort flows into the " hour GI its," or Kaiser S2a. On our earth the oceans are three times as extensive as the continents. It may be noticed also that Europe, Asia, and Africa form. a single large island, so to speak ; while an other large island is formed by the two Americas. On Mara a very different arrangement prevails. In the first place, there is little disparity between the extent of oceans and continents, and then these are mixed up in the most complex manner. A traveller by either land or water could visit almost every quarter of the planet without leaving the element on which he had commenced Lis journey ings. —Fraser's Magazine. 1 TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—The letter from the Secretary of the London Society of Compositors in your issue of to-day evades the only question of interest to the public. If the matter were simply a small dispute between ourselves and the society we should not have in voked the powerful aid of the Times. Mr. Self has not invalidated a single statement in our letter of the 10th, nor attempted to deny that he ordered the society hands in our employ' to give in notice because we would not pay for some pages which had been set up and paid for in some other office. The public will now understand that a trade society is capable of making such a demand, but incapable of saying a word in defence of such a proceeding. Mr. Self says that all that the members of his society have done, or intend to do, is to give us notice because they cannot agree with us. He must know that this is utterly false. Mr. Self cannot deny that he and his committee sat again on Tuesday evening last, and had some of the non society men in our employment before them, and offered them inducements to leave U 3. The word " rattening,” whicti has aroused the ire of Mr. Self, we take it means the doing anything to put a stop to the work of an obnoxious employer ; and the ordering away of workmen by a society, and offering bribes to induce the rest to leave is, to our 'thinkirg, doing what little they can to bring our work to a stand, and is as much rat tening as cutting the driving bands of our machines. The public will not have forgotten what came out in the Sheffield inquiry, that at the very time Broadhead and his miscreants were holding indig nation meetings at the atrocities, those atrocities had been committed by friends of their own selec tion, and paid for by themselves out of the funds of the union. Whether the Raquet-court Committee have a " capacity"for such thin g s we do net s A y ; but, notwithstanding their secretary's testimony to their merits, we must still adhere to our opinion— formed after some 16 years' experience—that they aro very small men with large ideas of their im portance and their power. If we shall have in duced any other employer to estimate their influ ence and their supposed powers of mischief at their true value, we shall have attained the object we had in view in writing to the Times. We should have thought the fact of work having been diverted into the provinces and to the Conti nent was too notorious to be questioned. There is scarcely a publisher in London who has not sent work in one or both of the directions stated ; and if Mr. Self be really ignorant of this, it is another instance of how little he is familiar with what i. going on in the world outside of Raquet-court. Your obedient servants, August 13. 0. and Co. THE DROUGHT. The drauelt of 1833 will be long remembered by tillers of the sail, more vividly, perhaps, be cause of their losses and their gains. Abun dant crops of wheat and hops will not alto gether compensate the farmers for loss of pasture, turnips, and maugolds, and the gardeners will scarcely find in a great store of potatoes (which of all kitchen garden crops have alone with stood the drought without serious harm), a satisfactory balance for the total or partial loss of almost every other crop. Making full allow ance for the respective values of the subjects cultivated, and the relative areas over which loss or gain may be read, we are inclined to be lieve the losses of theardeners will prove to be more serious than the loss to the farmers by the drought ; but the farmers' loss will be more largely felt, and will tell with more lasting effect upon the fortunes of the country. Two important subjects claim attention now : how to preserve what we have in the form of vegetation, and how most rapidly to obtain recom pense for our losses. As to the first point, we agsin advise that watering be performed as much as possible in the after part of the day, and that everything in the nature of a mulch be made the most of. We have secured many good crops of vegetables this season by this plan, and in several instances the only stuff we could obtain for mulch ing consisted of green weeds ; and, strange to say, weeds have grown this season, thistles and cheuo podiums especially. It is highly probable that we shall shortly have an abundance of rain. The spirited cultivator will be ready for it when it comes ; the sluggard will of course be too far behindhand in his work to ob tain the greateSt possible benefit. In the garden this is a good time for sowing turnips, endive, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, winter onions, lettuces, and almost every kind of salading. A few rows of the earliest sorts of kidney bans and peas may be risked with a fair prospect of success. On the farm the great anxiety is for winter and spring feed, and such useful things as winter beans, rye, winter vetches, cabbage, rape,stubble turnips, and Italian rye-grass should have attention, as the circumstances of the farm, and especially as the nature of the soil, may require. Immense quantities of green food may 133 raised, should rain occur quickly, provided active and pru dent measures are resorted to for making the most of the few advantages now within reach.—Gar dener's Magazine. DEATH OF A BARRISTER FROM SUNSTROKE.—The death of Mr. W. M. Thompson, of Elinburgh, one of the eading advocates at the Scottish bar, is reported at the early ago of 37.

" ENGLISH MASTER WANTED."—In every public school, grammar school, or iustitution on a large scale, an " English department" should be organized, with its stuff of teachers. The head master should be not merely a classical scholar, but a thoroughly educated man, imbued with large views of the philosophy of speech, and not only acquainted with the leading modern languages, but. well versed in the sources of our own. Hu should be deeply read in our literature, especially from the Eliza bethan period to recent times. He should write and speak the best English, and teach his pupils to clothe their thoughts in clear, simple, and vigorous prose. Were it not a digression from our present subject, we should say that his written lectures should be so naturally read as to sound like impromptu speeches ; while his extemporaneous addresses should be so accurate in style as to seem pro cJinposed. His accent ought to be simply that of a well educated Englishman, without any trace of local intonation London or provincial, Seotch or Irish. For such a man wo claim an equal place with the other masters, and for his work a fair share of every boy's time and attention. Of course wo shall be told by those who are ever ready to start difficulties, and who see in every projected improve ment a dangerous innovation, that such masters could not be had ; that, if they could, it would be putting them out of their place to give them an equal social status with the teachers of classics and mathematics ; and that the introduction of English would interfere with the more important work of the school, and with its chance of obtaining university distinctions. All those objections, may be answered by an appeal to the "logic of facts.' Wherever the experiment has been tried under proper circumstances it has succeeded. We could name more than one gnat school in which English is not neglected, and which, so far from hindering, it has rather helped the other studies of the pupils. We feel absolutely certain that if Eton would lead this reform by founding an " Eng lish D. , partment," and offering £l,OOO year to its master, the example would bo quickly followed by every school in the kingdom that aimed at k3eping pace with the requirements of the age. —Rm. Alex. D'Orssy. A GOOD EXANIPLE.—The City Press, referring to a gift of £lOO to the great Northsrn Hospital, Cakdonian road, by Walter Cave, Esq., says :—" In au advertisement published by one of our London charities this week, there is an acknowledgment of 'a donation of £lOO from Wal:er Cave, Esq., being in lieu of legacy.' The giver of that money has set an example well worthy of imitation. It is so easy for a man with a good balance at his bankers to promise a legacy, which, after all, has to bo paid by some body else; and one cannot but admire the common sense of this donor, who takes the burden upon himself and man fully puts his hand into Lis pocket and enjoys the satis faction of knowing that he has helped on a good work by a little WI-denial."
