CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, at a slight decline. The sales were esti mated at 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the sp6culatora. The Railway Share Market was very dull, and prices were a shade lower than on Monday. A further supply of Australian gold was received yesterday by the Montmorency, viz., 50,195 ounces, valued at 200,7801. There is consequently a large supply of gold upon the market, only 25,0001. of the remittance by the Norfolk having yet been purchased for the Continent. It is, there fore, presumed that a moderate proportion will he sold to the Bank, where the metallic reserves have lately been trenced upon by shipments to the Con tinent in payment for silver, &c. At present the market for that metal is exceedingly dull, the late decline in the Indian exchanges having limited the demand for the East. If the additional intelligence which may be expected from India every day should report a continued reduction in the quotations at Calcutta, Bombay, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, the bi-monthly steamers will henceforth convey a smaller aggregate amount than for some time past. The current prices in the Bullion Market are :—Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. 'standard ; South American doubloons, 755. 9d. per oz. ; United States' gold coin, 765. 3d. per oz. ; bar silver, ss. lid. per oz. standard ; Mexican and South American d rllars, ss. ld. per oz. ; and five franc pieces, 4s. 114 d. per oz. It has been resolved to wind up the London, Manchester, and Foreign Warehouse Company, nearly the whole of the subscribed capital havieg been lost. Unless litigation is avoided, it is feared "Eat a further call of 2/. per share will have to be made. There is no alteration to report with regard to the Money Market, but the supply is still ample and in excess of the demand. During the last two days the applications at the Bank are understood to have been less pressing, but this can be partly accounted for by the general desire which is now manifested to limit business in all departments. If the trading community could only be assured that the mutiny in India will soon be suppressed, commercial affairs would quickly assume a more cheerful aspect, but at present the doubt and an xiety everywhere experienced necessarily restricts transactions. The probability of a loan or some other financial op eration w ith the view of adopting adequate measures is not omitted from consideration, not withstanding the statement in Parliament just be fore the termination of the Session, that the Hon, East India Company had ample funds at command. The extraordinary expenditure, however, which it is evident must take place cannot fail to exhaust their Treasury, and a loan, it is thought, must be eventually negociated. A trifling decline, namely, * per cent., occurred in the English Stock Market scon after the com mencement of business, and the quotations appear rather depressed. This is the result of a small sale, which, in the present lethargic state of the market, has a decided influence. The public keep aloof, probably in the expectation of lower prices, the tendency being rather in that direction, but when the dividends are paid a portion of the proceeds will, no doubt, be re invested. Although the terms offered by the dis count firms for deposits are so attractive that a large amount of capital is diverted there, Which might otherwise be employed in the markets for stocks a and shares. The speculators' appear very timid, and although they speak confidently of a decline, do not operate with freedom, because they know how greatly the market would be 'improved by the least encouraging news from Delhi, Agra, or Lucknow. Consols have been 90 to 90f for money, and 901 b for account. Exchequer Bills are Bs. discount, and. India Bonds, under 1,0001., 235. discount, About an' average amount of business has been done in Foreign Stocks, and the quotations are generally very steady. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 44 and Russian 5 per Cents. are steady at 1091 4, but the 6i per Cents. have receded to 98k. Sardi nian are 89i. In Turkish there have been very few transactions. The 6 per Cents. are about 941 95, and the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed 99k. South American Stocks are all at nominal values. Dutch 2i per Cents. have been 641, and Belgian 4i per Cents. 971 to 981. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 21i 2 ; Peruvian 4i- per Cents., 78 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 A ; ditto Deferred, 254 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 54 6.

QUARTERLY MEETING, THIS DAY. A quarterly meeting of the East India proprietors was held this afternoon, at the East India House, Lead enhall-street—aMr. Mangles, M.P., chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. Although this was the first meeting of proprietors since the outbreak in India, the attendance of proprietors was not above the usual average. RELIEF FUND FOB INDIA. Mr. DENT, as one of the committee for the Indian Relief Fund, asked the chairman why the Court of Directors had not subscribed towards the fund now raising for the relief of the sufferers by the late lament able mutiny in India. (Hear, hear.) The circumstance had been strongly remarked upon by the public. Mr. LEWIN considered it woukl be better not then to enter on the question. He believed it would be found that the Government of India was responsible for the lose that had been occasioned by the mutiny. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that the Board had not yet come to a definite resolution on this suhjeot. The Court, he was certain, would feel generally that this was a very large and important question, and one to whioh the history of the world had no parallel. (Hear.) He assured the court that the Board of Directors would be guided, in this instance, by the geueral law of nations, and the uni versal rule adopted in snob cases. (Hear.) A similar occurrence had happened in this country, and the pre• cedent then established would, in all probability, be fol lowed by the directors. He was not prepared, off hand, to state what course should or should not be taken under the circumstances. (Hear.) What the Court had done was this, they had written to the Governor. General of India giving him instructions to take care that nobody should be allowed to perish from want of means or oars—whether they were the company's servants or not. (Hear, hear.) With regard to their own military servants, the directors would con- sider the orphans and widows of the officers who had fallen victims to this frightful military mutiny, entitled to the same pension or allowance as if such officers bad fallen in action. (Hear, hear.) M. DENT remarked that as soon as it was intimated to her Majesty that a fund was being raised for the unfor tunate sufferers, her Majesty and the Prince Consort telegraphed their intention of subscribing 1,000/. and 3001. to the fund. It appeared to him that delay with the directors arose from a reference to higher quarter's. If precedents were needed for the Court of Directors subscribing to this fund be would roster them to the fund raised to relieve the distress occasioned by the French inundations and the Irish famine. In fact, if it wero necessary, such precedents could ()Deily be multiplied. (Hear, hear.) Tixe propriety of subscrib ing to the Indian relief fund he thought required but little, if any, deliberation from them; for he could not conceive there was any difference of opinion amongst the Board of Directors on the subject,—(bear)—and if it was necessary to apply to Cannon-row for permission to subscribe, he thought they had but to telegraph, and an immediate reply in the affirmative would be retutned. (Hear, hear.) The public looked with deep regret on this apparent want of sympathy with the sufferers, which the conduct of the board appeared to exlaibit. (Hear, hear.) He asked the directors if they had any objection to lay before the Court the despatch referred to by the chairman. _ The CHAIRMAN said he could give no other answer than that he had already given with reference to the Court of Directors subscribing to the rrlief fund. There would be no objection to produce a copy of the de spatch to the Governor-General of India, already referred to. Mr. JONES said that if the directors were to cease from their annual feasting that alone would place's. large au - n at the disposal of the Board for this purpose. There was annually spent between 3,0001. and 4,000/, in dinners, and were the directors to forgo that pleasure for the next five years, it would give a sum of 20,000/. to be immediately appropriated towards the relief of the distressed. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The CH&IEMAN said there had been no dinners this year. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lxwar said he thought the Court might place every confidence in the Board in that respect. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said the Court might rest satisfied that the Board of Directors would do all they could to mitigate the present distress in India, and provide for the sufferers, hereafter. He should be sorry if anything the directors did had the effect of stopping private bene volence, because it would be impossible for the Govern ment of India to meet every case. There would be no doubt cases beyond their reach which the benevolence of the public would be able to meet, aid he trusted the appeal made to the public on behalf of the sufferers in India would be met in that liberal and charitable spirit which had always characterised the English nation, in periods of great calamity. (Cries of " Hoar, hear.") He could not conceive a more noble opportunity for the display of munificence and charity on the part of the people than that presented by the deplorable events in India, (Hear, hoar.) The subject then dropped. INDIAN IMPIIEBENTATIV:ES AT TECH LSADENHALL•STREET BOARD. Mr. BROWN called attention to a notice of motion Mr. Jones had on the paper relative to representatives from India at ,their Board, and ry Led the hon. proprietor not to proceed with it then, for if he did he (Mr. Brown) should feel himself compelled to count the court. (Hear.) Mr. JONES said tho hon. proprietor might take what course he choose. Ile was accustomed to meet with opposition and interruption at the quarterly courts, but nothing ghoul I deter him from doing his duty. He in tended to proceed with his motion, and if the hon. pro prietor persisted in the cours e be had threatened, which would have the effect of s t o ppirg him(Sr.(gr. Jones) on that occasion, he would take advantage of it end adopt a similar course at every succeeding meeting till they bad heard what he had to •say: Mr. Jones then proposed the motion of which he had given notice, viz That it is due to the advancing intelligence of the people of India that a deputation from each utiversity of the several presidencies be maintained at the public expense in this country with a view to inform the praprietors as to the complaints and wishes of the people of India." The hon. gentleman proceeded to address the committee on the recant horrible atrocities that had been committed, and upbraided the proprietors and the public generally for their apathy towards Indian affairs. He also condemned the syltem of annexation that had been pursued in India, and said that deprecating as he did the horrible and di.gueting conduct of Nana Sahib, he could not but think he had some excuse for joining in the revolt from th 3 manner in which he had been treated by the Indian Government. (No, no.) Mr. BROWN then moved that the Court be counted, which was done, and as there were but 17 out of 20 owners of 1,0001. stock, the Court was suddenly brought to a termination. 'h'TDay.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was well supplied with English wheat but most of the samples wore lift over from Monday. The attendance of buyers was limited, and the trade ruled heavy. In prices no chi - bnge took place. The show of foreign wheat was not to say extensive, yet sales could not be effected unless at a considerable reduc• tion in price, Barley and malt moved off slowly, but no actual change took place in their value. We bad a steady demand for oats at fall currency. The supply of foreign was extensive, Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly at Monday's currency, AItRIVALS THIS VISA. Whoat. 1 Barley.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION IN DIIIIIIA3I.—About nine o'clook on Sunday morning one of the boilers at the Triuidon Grange Colliery exploded with a loud report. It shook the earth. The report was heard for about a mile distant, and was something like the explosion of a magazine of powder. On proceeding to the scene of desolation, it was jest as if the town bad been bombarded for a considerable time, The chimney was split, the stone walls blown to atone, and the boilers shifted out of their placee, and a large number of houses damaged by bricks, stones, metal pipes, and various other things. The houses hail a curtails uppeerance ; though built of wood, they were quite grey,. just le if shined with lime water. The boiler had split in two; the top. part was blown over the tops of six or eight houses, and tell into a pond about 100 or 120 yards' distance from part was lifted over the engines, t b h o e us p e l s a , ce an The drai er lw o a t y h ,on to the dust-heap, at a distance of about 150 yards. On clearing away the stones and rubbish near where the boiler stood, the bodies of two were thefireman. They were dreadfully discovered—the one named John Orton, scalded, and of course quite dead. A child p la y in g in the streets was stru ck b y o ne of the b ricks, and there see ms to be little or uo hope of its recovery. Various tyhoeunogthmeren Roper , rumours are afloat as to the cause of the accident, but of co urse the truth will not be known till the inquest.— ManaeSer Guardian? LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) THE LOYAL BRITISH BANK-MEETING FOR THE LAST EXAMINATION OW THE DIRECTORS. To•day was appointed for the last examination of the directors representing the Royal British Bank under the bankruptcy. Three balance-sheets have been filed, extending over upwards of 800 folio pages. THE CLAIM OF MR. MYEREL—Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said, that a few days since the Court was applied to with respect to a claim made by Mr. Myers, the builder, and it was submitted that the matter should be submitted to reference, but the assignees considered it was not so much a matter of account as law, and he therefore had to ask his Honour to fix a day for discus sing the case. His Honour appointed the 28th of October for that purpose. • Mr. Linklater said this was the meeting for the last meeting, and two balance-sheets had been filed, but so recently that an adjournment was absolutely necessary in order that the assignees might have an opportunity of ex raining the accounts. One balance was prepared by Mr. Coleman ; one by Mr. Stapleton individually ; another on behalf of Mr. Alderman Kenne ly, Mr. Vall iant, Mr. Eidaile and M'Leod ; and one by Messrs. Cooper and Stevens on the part of Messrs. Gillott, Hurst, and Butt, who became directors on the sth of August, before the bankruptcy. The Court bad directed that the balance-sheet should be filed on or before the let of Sept., but the first was not filed until the 12th inst., and that by Messrs. Cooper and Stevens only this morning. Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Mason, and Mr, Freshfield, who appeared for the directors, assented to the adjournment. Mr. Linklater then went into a very lengthened explanation of the course which had pursued by the assignees, who had been exceedingly anxious to promote the interests of the creditors. With respect to the dividend which it bad been intended to declare this day, he was sorry to bay it could not be made, as the assignees had not been able to effect a sale of the Welsh mines, which were set down at 120,0001., but he bad no doubt that eventually the creditors would receive a dividend of 20s. in the pound, namely, 10s. from the estate, 6s. ed. from the shareholders, with whom the assignees en tertained strong hopes that they would be able to effect such a compromise as would be satisfactory to the creditors, and meet the sanction of the court. He then explained that the Act of Parliament, giving power to effect a compromise, did not interfere with the interests of the creditors, who could apply to the court for leave to procee I against any shareholder who would be re quired to give security. He strongly urged the share holders to come forward and contribute, and many had returned from abroad with the intention of doing so. Mr. Lawrence addressed the court to the same effect. The meeting was then adjourned for two months. POLICE INTRLLIGENCE. (This Day.) WESTMINSTER. UNPROVOKED AND FEROCIOUS A SSAULT.—Patrick Welsh, a fellow of meet repulsive appearance, who bore marks of having been recently engaged in a pugilistic contest, was charged with the following unprovoked and ferocious assaults : William Anderson, a very respectable looking elderly man, said he and his son accompanied by two or three friends, went into a public house at Knightsbridge, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon and called for some spirits. On their being poured out prisoner intruded himself into their company, and insisted upon having some. They refused to give him any, upon which ho seized some tobacco out of complainant's son's hand, and upon his endeavouring to prevent his getting it, prisoner threw him ♦iolently on the ground on his head. Com plainant seeing his son weltering in his blood and insen sible endeavoured to secure the accused, who attacked him with great fury and then ran away. Mr. Paynter—What was the amount of the injury done to your son I Complainant—He was insensible from the effects of the injury at the hospital for four hours. Mr. Poynter—How did L. prisoner get the marks he now bears upon his face. Police constable Page, 147 B.—He got those marks on the previous night. Ile went into a coffseshop at Knightsbridge, and robbed a labouring man of two halt crowns. He was detected in the wit, and the man in stead of giving him into custody gave him a sound thrashing. Mr. Poynter—Do you know the prisoner? Constable--Well, and he is one of the most desperate characters in London. He has been repea'edly oharged with violent assaults, so often that I can safely say out of the last eight years hs has been in prison four. Mr. Poynter, to prisoner--What have you to say. Prisoner—l only wanted a pipe of tobacco, and they would not let me have it, and hit rue. Mr. Yaynter--You have committed a most unpro voked and brutal assault, and are remanded for a week, by which time the effect of the injuries inflicted by you will be ascertained. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. THrEr DETECTED.----Eiizaboth Campbell, a decent looking young woman, was brought before Mr. Bingham, on the following charge. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Aldoree, pawn broker, of Berwick-street, that on the preceding after noon, the pri4oter entered his shop, and offered the two pieces of cloth produced in pledge. He asked her how many yaris there were ? She replied 28 ; tLat she wanted the loan of 3/., that the silk was all in one piece, and that theta was quite sufficient to make two dresses. He then measured it, and found that, in addition to their being only 24 yards, the silk had been cut into two pieces. He told her of this circumstance, and asked who the silk belonged to? She at first said it was her own, and then that it was her sister's, whom she alleged lived clone by in Noel-street. Not being at all satiefied with her itNternent, be sent for a con,table and gave her in charge. The siik was subequently traced to have been stelen from Messrs. Sowerby and Tstton'o, Regent- circus. Charles Brown, ehopman in the employ of Messrs. Sowerby and Co., identified the silk, whicli was worth 4f. 15i., s,s their property. It bed not been s. ld in the u.,ual way, and was cafe in stock yesterday morning. Constable 122 C apprehended the prisoner, who, in answer to his inquiries, said a strange woman had given the silk to her to pledge, and eh• was to have ss. for her trouble, and she being hard up for money ghdly ace, pted the cffer, not knowing it was stolen. At the r tation she was searched end a sovereign found upon her. Prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was committed for six months. LLOYD'S SIIIPPING.—(Thia Day.)

The exciting pair-oared race between the Whites and Pococki - , which has given rise to considerable speculation in sporting circles, was contested yesterday for 601. and was one of th e most spirited which has occurred for many years past. The Whites (brothers) are young men be longing to Bermondsey ; the Pococks (also brothers) hail from Lambeth. The former are very young men, both having recently been winners of Doggett's Coat and Badge ; the elder Pocock (William) has long been re nowned as a sculler and oarsman, but his brother, although giving great promise, and the winner of two or three hard rowed races, is scarcely more than half his age. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake ; and the day being fine the attendance of spectators was very considerable. Betting was even, the Pococks being taken for choice. Everything being in readiness the men started at a most extraordinary pace, the Whites having the best station on the Middlesex side at Putney bridge. The Pococks for a moment drew, but when the Whites got evenly at their work the pace was so equal that they were stein and stem, and so continued pull after pull for a dozen strokes. A most extraordinary and animated race then succeeded, diversified, however, by the Whites going considerably, ever and anon, out of the nearest and best course, which materially advan taged their opponents, and kept up the excitement cm sequent upon uncertainty until full half the distance had been accomplished. The position of oar and oar was changed again and again to alternate slight leads till above Craven-cottage, where the Whites broke away and went rapidly in advance; bat from changing their course, the Pococks, not only here, but subsequently, reduced the gap, which would otherwise have been considerable. The lasting qualifications of the young men gave them ultimately the victory ; but had they kept anything like a right course they would have won with ease. The Whites came in first by six or seven lengths. Time, 23 minutes. Tco much credit cannot be given to the losers, as well as the winners, for their gallant exertions. ETON AND WINDSOR ROYAL REGATTA. The annual Eton Regatta took place on Monday, and was attended by many officers of the Horse and Foot Guards, most of the Etoniane, and a larger concourse of visitors than has been witnessed on former occasion.s.

The stay in camp of the Duke of Cambridge seems to give fresh animation to the proceedings of the Imperial Guard. The ramblers who daily re turn here from Chalons tell us of fireworks, illumi nations, dances, and diversions of all kinds, and particularly of balloon ascents by the brothers Godard, which seem a very favourite amusement with the troops. At six, on the day of the duke's arrival, there was a great dinner at th© Imperial Head -quarters, to which all the Generals were in vited. The capital band of the Guides played dur ing the . meal. Th e t a bl e was l a id for 50, an d. from its position, the Emperor and his guests could be seen at dinner by persons walking in the neigh bourhood. In the evening, the Fmperor and the Duke went to the Grenadiers' theatre, and were loudly cheered on entering. The pieces played were the " Almoner of the Re g i men t," " Ti t i l e Talocheur," and a " Pic-nic of Auvergnats." In the first-named vaudeville there is a passage where the ' almoner, disguised as a soldier, sings a couplet to the effect that the Emperor takes the crowns of all the Kings of Europe and gives them to his soldiers. This was received with frantic hurras, so much so, says a paper, that the staff appeared rather seemed embarrassed. The Duke of Cambridge greatly amused by the performance. At its close, the Grenadiers, with torches, escorted the Imperial and Royal visitors to their quarters. The first per formance of the Arab wedding by the Zouaves was so successful that a second has been given on a larger scale, including various episides of Arab life under canvas. On Monday the troops made a move ment in the direction of the Suippe, a river which flows along the northern limit of the camp, were they were to bivouac two nights. The soldiers have their tentes d'abri ; it is not mentioned how the officers will manage, but the movement is considered as rather a bore. It was rumoured at Chalons that the duration of the camp would be prolonged to the 20th October, but nothing of the kind is probable. The Emperor's return to the camp, after his visit o Stuttgard, is considered certain, but it can hardly take place until the 30th, so that it is pre p umablo he will remain there but a short time. THE LATE LAMBETH ELACTION. The minutes of evidence taken before the select committee on the Lambeth election petition have j ust been printed by order of the House of Commons. The sitting member, Mr. Roupell, was opposed chiefly on charge of bribery and treating, and the facts that an unusual number of houses were thrown open by his agents during the election, that his expenses amounted to 5,3391., be sides the auditor's charges, and that one of the witnesses alleged to have been bribed was not forthcoming, gave countenance to the charges. The proceedings occupied five days. It was proved by the witnesses that nume rous private as well as public houses were en gaged for holding committees and for - placard ing, and that the sum of 2001. was spent in distributing circulars to the electors, Mr. Roupell having determined to canvass every one. At the previous election only a small proportion of the electors voted, the largest number that ever polled for one candidate having been 4,000. Some of the many committee-men who acted for Mr. Rou pell were also employed to canvass, and were paid 10s. a day for their services ; but that fact was endeavoured to be concealed. The utmost, how ever, that the witnesses against the sitting mem ber seem to have proved was, a very lavish expenditure ; and the witness Tredre, who had concealed himself for the purpose, as he said, of seeing which party would pay him best, when taken into custody and examined before the com mittee, did not make any disclosures affecting the sitting member, but only criminated himself. The points of most interest brought out during the proceedings were in the statements of Mr. Roupell himself, from whose evidence it appeared that the petition against him had been concocted for the purpose of inducing him to join the South London Railway. He stated that Mr. Rhodes, a hop-mer chant in the Borough, and chairman of Mr. Wilkinson's committee, waited upon him, and "in great trepidation, apparently conscious that he was about to make an improper overture," said that if Mr. Roupell would join the South London Railway, and support it with his interest in Parliament, the petition against his re turn should be withdrawn. Mr. Rhodes was further stated to be a large shareholder in the proposed rail way, and that as the railway would pass through his drawing-room he would obtain large compensation. Mr. Roupell also stated that an offer to withdraw the petition was made to him by Mr. Cross, an elec tion agent, who represented thathe came fro m Messrs. Harrison, the agents for the petitions, and that the petition would be withdrawn if Mr. Roupell would consent not to proceed against them for the costs. In Mr. Roupell'a evidence he most positively as sorted that a messenger came to him in the House of Commons, with a message that a friend wanted to see him in the lobby, that he accordingly went out, and was accosted by Mr. Cross, who beckoned him into the messenger's room, and then made the offer as the agent of Messrs. Harrison. Mr. Cross in his examination entirely denied having done so. The committee expressed their sense of the bearing of the evidence by reporting that Mr. Roupell had been duly elected, and that the petition against his return was frivolous and vexatious. The numbers at the close of the poll were—Mr. Roupell, 9,318 ; Mr. Williams, 7,618 ; Mr. Wilkinson, 3,234. Hi■ Excellency the French Ambassador and the Countess de Persigny are expected in town, from Paris, on Saturday next. Their excellencies will shortly go to St. Leonards-on-Sea for about six weeke. THE QUEEN AT THE CLOSE OF THE EXHIBITION.— It has already been announced that the closing of the Exhibition of Art Treasures, at Manchester, was fixed to take place on the 15th October. The circulation in the newspapers, about the same time, of a statement that the Queen would visit Wentworth House, the seat of the Earl of Fitzwilliam, on the 15th October, not un naturally gave rise to a conjecture that there was some connection between the two events, and we believe that it may now be stated on good authority that her Msjesty and the Prince Consort aro expected to be pre sent at the closing of the exhibition, and will proceed from thence to Wentworth House the same evening. According to the last census return of the population of Vienna, that capital contains 579,457 souls, including 20,000 troops in garrison, 18,356 foreigners, and 210,262 Austrians who are not natives of Vienna. There are 441,161 Roman Catholic', 10,494 Protestants of the coefees;on of Augburg , 1,293 Calvinists, 170 Anglicans, 15,116 Jews, 954 members of the Greek church, and 33 Museuluaans. The capital contains 5,793 houses with 89,441 suites of apartments. ped S OUTH AMPTON, Tuesday. — The new steam-ship Gre nada,ar built for the Peninsu lar and Oriental Com pany , and recently l au nched at Northam, is being prepared with all speed, 150 men being employed on her, to be ready to take out the Peninsular mails on Monday next, the 28th inst. The company's steamer Sultan, which was in readiness to leave with the mails of the 17tb, but countermanded shortly before that date, still remains in deck, awaiting orders, and it is currently rumoured that she will ho employed in the transport service, as well is tle Euxine, expected here to-morrow witk the mails from the Peninsular ports. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT NORTHFLEET.—GRAVESEND, Sept. 22.—Early this morning the inhabitants of this place were aroused by the alarm of fire. It took place in the adjoining village of Nortbfleet, at a well-known waterside public-house called the Blue Anchor, in the occupation of Mr. Lewes, situate near the mouth of the Creek. Some labourers discovered the fire raging in the Lack premises, and with difficulty the inmates were rescued, Mrs. Lewes having only been recently co onfidnein d. The house being built of wood was quickly envelope flame, lighting up the river and country for some die- L p e o e k w ,is andrlul tance. An adjoining tenement ignited, and soon shared a similar fate. A telegraphic message was sent to the Town-hall for the engines, and Mr. Superintendent force.

In one case of paralysis of the facial nerve, which did well, there was considerable pain along its course, sometimes of a very excruciating character. The valerianate of a mmonia was administered with benefit, and in a very short time the patient got well. This remedy has been treely used in the Parisian hospitals, but especially at the Salpetriere and the Bicetre. Dr. Tuffnell, professor of raillery surgery to Dublin, has also tried it, and found it eminently successful.—Lund.
