AUGUST 17, 1859. effectually prepared for, if our kingdom is to continue in the enjoyment of the blessings of peace within its own borders. The war in Italy, which Louis Napoleon so Icantonly began, and so capriciously concluded, is likely to be id seem, by one of his subordinates, ed on, it wool,' on his own account. Garibaldi, it is now understood, has put himself at the head of a formidable body of discontented and revolutionary Tuscans, Modenese, Parmese, and Romag,nese, who are assembling, we are told, for the purpose of resisting any attempt to restore the Governments which have recently been overthrown. If this rebellious movement is to be resisted, French and Austrian troops will have to take the field against it ; so that we shall then have exhibited the strange anomaly of France fighting with Austria against the very cause for which, so lately, France was fighting Austria herself, and with such dreadful slaughter, on the plains of Lombardy. It is questioned, we observe, Nvlzether the French Emperor will lend his own 'army to such an object, or permit Austrian forces to undo alone the work so lately done by him, or at his instigation, at so fearful a cost to both empires. A short time will show. Meanwhile, the prospects of Europe are, on this account, if on no other, anything but satisfactory. It is gratifying to observe with what alacrity and - spirit Conservative candidates have come forward to contest the few vacant' eats in Parliament that had to be filled up. Mr. Ferrand to-day enters upon another contest for Devonport,—it is said with every prospect of :success; although his Liberal opponent, Sir Arthur Buller, is personally formidable, as well as being backed by all the influence of the Government. It was by an 'unscrupulous exercise of such undue influence, combined With bribery of another kind, it now appears, that Mr. 'errand was unsuccessful the week before last; and so evident was this, that the honourable gentleman had Actually already prepared a petition against the return of Sir Michael Seymour, on these grounds. Another Ministerial candidate,—Mr. Cowper, Mr. Wilson's successor at the Board of Trade,—is opposed at Ilertford by Mr. Dimsdale, a Conservative ; and the seat for Hull is sought for by still another el • vonservative candidate, Mr. Joseph Somes, the eminent London shipowner. All this shows that the Conserva tives are in high spirits,—as well they may be, having, Since the general election, succeeded in almost, if not `entirely, reducing the majority which upset the Conser ._.. /give ministry. The Liberal party have now got an excellent lr umPeter of its merits, who is making himself heard -th roughout the country as a candidate in the field for the representation of Liskeard,—we mean Mr. Bernal Osborne. Those merits, however, of his party,. not w ith s t an di ng the i r grea t ness , mus t, h e eon °lids, be " re f orme d , " as, w i t h a prepon d erance o f th e Liberal element in the present House of Commons, he 'vet c entends that it is "the worst House that ever met." hex ef - A • a u; as he shows, th roug h th e d egenera t e s t a t e o f mud not ° ruled constituencies, which must be re-reformed Rill improbably re-reformed again—before they retu rn such a Parliament as Mr. Bernal Osborne 11141 find it possible to be the successful leader of.

Such an union, we doubt not, will be a genial one ; and we may therefore pretty confidently 'eatulate th a t he will succeed in effecting it. 1 : 1 1 , e Lond on Bakers, it is stated, are agitating for an g ni ent of the hours of labour,—from eighteen ; and the substitution of day f or n i g ht This proceeding, it must be confessed, presents remarkable contrast to that of the Builders of the hour. To twelve polls, although they are apparently for very bjects. The reduction from eighteen hours to twelve is, in the first place, a very different thing from reduction from ten to nine hours ; whilst, in the latter use, it will be remembered, the Builders have insisted ng paid the same wages for nine hours as they have hitherto had for ten. The case of the Bakers is, in all respects, indeed, one which has strong claims to pub sympathy It is surely bad enough to have to work all night ; but how much must the ted,by its No man, we contend, can long stand the wear and tear of eighteen hours, out of the twenty four, devoted to toil. The Bakers' case, thereore, is a hard one, in every point of view. Let us hope that their present agitation, being peacefully and orderly conducted, will succeed in effecting the object which, on the ground of humanity, as well as for social consider ations, it is so important they should accomplish, 4 kztrrit NEWS --The commission is nominated 'which is appointed to enquire into the mode of taking 'evidence in the Court of C3:ancery.

A Goon EXAMPLE.—There is probably no bay in the seas of the British Isles more dangerous than Car marthen Bay, in South Wales. In its vicinity are situ ated some fearful quick-sand banks. One of these, called Cefn Sidan Sands, has been celebrated for ages for its dangers and terrors to the mariner ; many a ship having struck on it, in the course of a tempestuous night, has been engulplicd within it ere the morning's dawn.' Last winter two dreadful shipwrecks took place on Cefn Sidan Sands. The crew of one of them had a narrow and providential escape of their lives ; but those of the other vessel, unhappily, perished before succour could possibly reach them. The National Life-boat Institu tion is now making an effort to establish in the vicinity of these dangerous sands a life-boat. The honorary ;ary of the Carmarthen Bay branch of the society g, amongst others, applied to Mr. R. Parnall, the extensive wholesale clother of Bishopsgate-street, who is a native of the neighbourhood, for his assistance, he I to him the following reply;— "London, August Bth, 1859. returnee " My dear Sir,—Your note of the 6th instant is duly to hand. The establishment of a life-boat in the vicinity of Carmarthen Bay is beyond all praise. I have placed my name on the list for nO ; but rather than that the noble and humane object should be de feated, you may, if needful, consider me good for £lOO. Hoping that the resident gentry, who have any sympathy for poor Jack, will cheerfully follow the example of the non-resident, and with best wishes, I am, &c., (Signed) ROBERT PARNALL.' " Rev. W. Williams, Ferryside. Earl Cawdor has also promised £5O ; Lord Dynevor, £5O ; and Sir James and Lady Hamilton, £2O. Many other persons have also subscribed sums of less amount in aid of the cost of this laudable undertaking, which will involve an expense of £3OO or £4OO for life-boat, trans porting carriage, and boat-house. It is confidently anticipated that, before another winter has set in, the Carmarthen Bay life-boat will be on her station. • - • CONSERVATIVE PAPERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES , Can you inform me why the London evening )rgan of the Conservative party, the Evening Herald, is not admitted into the Exchange News-room here ?

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH BRITON, The screw-steamer North Briton, Capt. Grange, arrived here last evening with four days' later news from Canada, and two days' from the United States. The dates are Quebec, August- 6,, and New York, August 4. There is no political intelligence of the least interest or importance, either from Canada or the United States. We therefore proceed to. give a summary of the COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI QUEBEC, August 6 THE TIMBER TRADE If a fortnight ago any one had predicted peace between France and Austria he would not have found believers ; but sudden and unexpected as it has been, it has not given that confidence to commerce which it otherwise would, had it been based on conditions that would have satisfied the public mind in Europe. The export of timber has, been moderate; and this, added to the peace, which many think of differently and in a more favourable light than we do, has to a certain extent had its effect on the market, which has become firmer in England, and, as a consequence, here also; there have also been some heavy purchases during the last six or eight days, which enables us to. quote a much better feeling than we could have ventured to antichate. Still we must caution our friends at a distance from being over sanguine of any great advance, as much must depend under any circumstances on the extent of our fall fleet. White Pine has been sold largely, one sale of nearly a quarter of a million of feet, average 96. Bay of Quinte timber a shade under 81d. measured off. Some goad Ottawa rafts at 6d. to 7-Ad. for 62 to 72 feet, and for 50 feet 51d., which probably would not have brought sd. a fortnight ago. One raft of 85 feet average was sold at 9d. all measured off, but was very fine in quality and size. Red Pine has been in very limited request all the season, and consequently has given way in price very considerably since May. Rafts of 40 feet may be quoted at 90. to 10d. ; and one large sale, embracing some old timber, has been made at prices that have not been made public. OAK.—The quantity measured off is large compared with last season, and, owing to the price in England, but little is shipped, atd we have seldom seen it so difficult to realise. ELM.—The same remark is applicable, only that the quantity measured is even greater is proportion than oak. Tamarac is by no means plentiful ; but so little is asked for that the supply, small as it is, is ample. Staves have arrived very freely, and are not in any demand. Deals are not so much sought after as they were earlier. in the season, and both pine and spruce, but especially the latter, are very difficult of sale. FREIGHTS.-Our last circular quoted an advance from 275. 6d. to 295. 6d., and we now give 30s. to 30s. 6d. as the quotation for Liverpool and Greenock, with an advance of from Is. to 3s. por load to outports for vessels of suitable size. Foßrrru, MILL, & Co MONTREAL, August 5. MONEY.—The question is daily, we might say hourly, put : cannot the Government make arrangements to ship the British coins, which are becoming more and more a source of annoyance in mercantile transactions, and procure in return a fresh supply of colonial coin ; relieving the city trade to the extent of even five thou sand dollars would be a boon. ASHES.—Pot have been in active demand at a shade higher, notwithstanding an advance in freights, and an increase in total receipts, on the seven months, amount ing to 4,997 barrels. Pearl have also advanced, with but moderate demand. _ _ _ BARLEY.—OId held at 55c., new is offering at a shade lower. BUTTER in demand for the lower ports, and lc. to 2c higher. TLouß.—The market has been eased by shipments to the lower ports and Quebec, and prices are rather firmer. PORK.—Prime Mess is in demand at our quotations ; in other grades, prices nominal. PEAsE - have fallen from $1 sc. to 95c. --- M r HEAT.—The harvest promises an - enormous yield, and speculators look to snaking purchases of new crop at 80 cents per bushel. _ _ GROCERTiS.—A fair local trade doing. Refined Loaf Sugar one half cent higher. FREIGHTS. - --Nothing doing in Grains or Flour. Ashes have been taken during the week at 225. 6d. for Pot, 255. for Pearl, to Liverpool and Clyde. BANic. STOCKS are looking up ; so are Montreal Mining Consols.

The West India islands are healthy. A revolution had broken out at barthagena. The liberal party overpowered the guards, and got the tower into their hands. The revolution, however, was soon quelled, b u t a f ee li ng o f un easiness prevailed amongst the foreign residents. The governor had promised the British Consul that order should be preserved. There was great excitement at Colon about the gold discoveries in the old Indian burial places, near the Chirigui Lagnon.. Golden images of the crocodile, and of forms resembling the Eyptian Sphinx, have been found there, and brought to Colon fot sale. VESSELS AND TONNAGE, &c.—A return to an order of the honourable the House of Commons shows the number of vessels and tonnage entered inwards and outwards at each of the twelve principal ports of the United Kingdom. The total of vessels entered inward was 28,259 ;in tons, 7,829,613. The total cleared out was 25,550; in tons, 7,481,325. The official and de clared value of the exports and official value of the imports, of each of the twelve principal ports of the United Kingdom during the year 1851, was £101,695,864. The foregoing statement, embracin g a portion only of the information required by the honour able House, is respectfully submitted as the best return that can be made to their order. The official value, whether of imports or of exports, is of necessity wholly excluded from it ; this value, which is obtained by calculation from certain fixed rates applied to the quantities of the various commodities, being computed only on the importations and exportations of the king dom at large. The declared value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported, being collected from the merchants' entries is ascertainable for each port, individually, and is accordingly exhibited. Of the trade carried on under coasting regulations, between port and port of the United Kingdom, there is no official record. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Baron, at nine o'clock, the trial Alien proceeded assistant, Mr. Caudle. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, -YESTERDAY. TRIAL OF DR. SMETHUST. The trial of Dr. Smethurst, for the murder of Isabella Barkes, was resumed this morning before the Lord Chief The same learned counsel attended on behalf of the prosecution and the defence. The jury; who had been at the London Coffee-house, were brought into court in charge of the officers, and The first witness examined was Dr. Julius ; who it will be remembered, attended upon the deceased lady until her death. He proved that he first saw the deceased on the 3rd of April, the prisoner having previously informed him that she was suffering from diarrhoea and bilious: fever. He prescribed for her, and a 1 the medicine that was sent was made up by his 'oue of the medicines appeared to have any effect in checking the distressing symp- toms that were exhibited by the deceased, and the ease appeared to him to be a most mysterious one, and at length a very strong suspicion was enacted in his mind that some irritant poon was being administered to the deceased. The prisoner proposed that a certain mixture which contained prussic avid should be administered to the deceased, and witness did not think it would do aniy good; but upon the prisoner saying that he was always there, and that he , would watch the effects of the met• - tine, witness directed the mixture to be made up, and it was administered to the deceased, but did not appear to have any efllet. The violent sickness' and retching continued unabated, and the deceased complained of burning pains in the mouth and throat and all down the stomach, and that even the act of swalibwinp; caused her to vomit. On the Bth of April, other and more serious symptoms exhibited themselves, and the deceased appeared to be fast sinking in strength. None of the medicines that were administered to the deceased produced the effect he expected, and the same symptoms continued after taking every one of them. The witness described the dreadful sufferings of the unhappy lady during the time he had attended upon her, and that in consequence of the suspicions which were aroused in his mind he requested his partner, Dr. Bird, to see her, but he did not give him any hint of the suspicions that existed in his mind. Witness was satisfied in his own mind that some irritant poison was being administered to the deceased, which entirely counter acted the effects of the medicine that he administered to her, and kept up the symptoms that presented themselves. Dr. Bird attended upon the deceased from the 18th of April to the 21st, and on the latter day witness saw her again, and she then appeared very much worse, and all the old symptoms remained, with increased violence. The prisoner suggested that other medical advice Should be culled in, and on the 28th of April Dr. Todd came to Richmond and saw the deceased, and prescribed for her, and expressed some opinion in reference to the illness of the deceased. Witness did not make any communication to Dr. Todd relative to the suspicions he entertained. Dr. Todd prescribed a pill composed of sulphate of copper and opium, and witness had adrised previously that the same description of pill should be given, but the prisoner objected to the use of sulphate of copper, as, he said, it sometimes produced symptoms of poison. The witness also stated that he procured one of the evacuations of the deceased, and at this time the pills prescribed by Dr. Todd had not been taken by her. In consequence of what he afterwards heard from Dr. Taylor, the witness stated that he applied to a magistrate, and the pri soner was taken into castody on Monday the 2nd of May. The witness also proved that he was not even aware of the deceased having been visited by her sister until the 30th of April, and that such - a subject was never alluded to, and he was never t o ld th a t th e deceased had made a will. _ Dr. Julius likewise said that he supposed all along that the prisoner and the deceased were man. and wife, and had not the slightest idea that any ,other connexion exi s t e d b e t ween t h em, and he concluded by expressing an opinion that small doses of any irritant poison would have produced all the appearances that were presented by the deceased, and that no such ingredients were contained in any of the medicines sent from his dispensary for her during her illness. After the prisoner was in custody upon the present charge, he wrote to him for the particulars of all the medicines he had supplied, and he gave him full information of everything that had been prescribed for the deceased. Cross-examined The prisoner always appeared to make a frank statement of the symptoms exhibited by the deceased during her illness, and he described them correctly according to witness's observation. To the best of his recollection he was only twice alone with the deceased, but he would not swear that he was not alone with her oftener. It was the prisoner who first suggested that further medical assistance should be obtained, and witness mentioned the name of his part ner, Mr. Bird, who, he told the prisoner, had bad great experience in cases of diarrhoea in the Cri mea. This occurred on the 18th of April, and at that time witness had formed an opinion that the lady was in a very precarious state, and that his medicines were counteracted by some means or other. Ile would swear positively that he . gave no intimation to Dr. Bird of the unfavourable opinion he entertained before he attended upon the deceased. Dr. Todd came down to Richmond on the 28th of April by the quarter to ten train. The prisoner was not aware that he -vas coming down by this train. He was quite sure that he did not tell Dr. Todd that none of the medicines he had ad ministered had had the slightest effect in repressing the symptoms that were exhibited by the patient. It was a very . common practice to administer prussic acid to stop sickness. The medicines witness administered to the deceased were chalk mixture eatechu, compound tincture of camphor, grey powder, and compound of ipecacuanha powder pills. He also administered quinine, diluted sulphuric acid, diluted prussic acid, ether, and gentian. This prussic acid was ad ministered under the prisoner's prescription. lie never prescribed bismuth, or nitrate of silver, or acetate of lead. Grey powder is a metallic medicine, being a preparation of mercury, and some of the others he had mentioned were also of a metallic character. Witness was . present when Dr. Taylor was examined before the magistrates. He never mentioned that the lady was in a state of pregnancy until the last trial. Until the post mortem examination he had no means of ascertaining the fact, and it would have made no difference in her treatment if he had been aware of it. Vomiting , was a very common symptom of preg nancy, and it was also sometimes accompanied by diarrhoea. 'Witness had never in his experience heard. of an instance of a pregnant woman suffe r in g from severe vomiting and diarrhoea which would not yield to any ordinary remedies. Ile had never made the post mortem examination of a body that had died from arsenic or antimony. Re-examined.—Witness heard of the symptoms of vomiting so early as the Bth of April. At this period the deceased could not have been pregnant longer than a few days, and at that early period witness never heard of pregnancy being accompanied by diarrhoea. The symptoms were also of a totally different character from those generally exhibited by pregnant women. The burning sensation of the throat and soreness of the mouth were quite unusu a l symp t oms connecte d w i t h the vomiting in the cases of pregnancy. The fact of the deceased's pregnancy did not in any way alter his origi nal opinion of the case. The Lord Chief Baron. —Can you a ccount in any other way than you have mentioned for the symptoms that presented themselves in this case ? Dr. Julius.—l cannot. Dr. Bird, the partner of the last witness, proved that at the raped of Dr. Julius he visited the deceased lady on or about the 18th of April. Dr. Julius did not tell i him bef ore h e went that he entertained any susp i cion n reference to the illness. He saw the prisoner, who told him he thought the deceased had neglected her bowels for some time, and that they were unloading themselves by means of the diarrhoea and vomiting. The witness contirtued Dr. Julius's prescription for two or three days, aud he then changed the treatment. The symptoms of the deceased were not in the . least alle viated by any of the medicines that he prescribed ; but, on the contrary, th ey went on i ncre asing in viol ence . Witness suggest e d t h at bi smut h s h ou ld be used, and th e prisoner said he thought it was a medicine not likely to do any good. Bismuth, ace tate of lead and opium, and nit ra t e of silver, were a fterwards administered to the deceased, and the risoner said that the nitrate of silver had caused a very injurious effect upon the deceased, and had occasioned a burning pain all through the bowels. The nitrate of silver was certainly not calculated to produce such an effect as he described. After witness had been in attendance upon the deceased for three days he formed an opinion that something or other was being administered to the deceased which had the effect of counteracting the medicine that was given her, and l ie d communicated mereh ta than once, in theinionto presence Dr. Julius. of th The prisoner, The deceased sener la, exprt,,s, d a wish for further medical assistance, and it was after this that Dr. Todd was requested! to madeff e c it t a l e! ) pear to be almost jumping out of the deceased's body. attend. The prisoner subsequently told bias that the epaiitlissimpg violent reparcd p b a y lpi r ta r t . i . on aT° of d had the thee Witness had never before heard of sulphate of copier and opium p ro d uc i ng suc h an effect as- this. On the `d the heart, hrat, 30th of April he asked the prisoner for a portion of one of 4 'the evacuations of the &ceased, to be examined and the prisoner gave him about four ounces, which• was placed in a jar, and sealed, and he then gave it tep his as4istant, Mr.• Caudle. Another evacuation was: after wards procured, and they were numbered 1 ands 2', and were both sent to Mr. Buzzard, of Great - Marl borough-street, to be. examined and analysed.. On Sunday, the Ist of May, witness and Dr:. Julius saw Mr. Buzzard, and in consequence of what he informed them, they- applied to Mr. Penrhyn, the magistrate, and lie wrote a note to Dr:, Taylor, which was given to Mr. Buzzard to take to , London. The next day he saw- the prisoner at Alma 'Villas, and he remarked that he thought the deceased! was a little better, and he showed him an evacuation, a portion of which witness took away with him, and it wmsealed and labelled and numbered 3. The prisoner WXI6. taken into custody, on Monday, the 21st of May, and_he.wa.s admit ted to bail on his own recognisance. M'intyre, the officer, accompanied witness to the prisoner's residence, and handed him some bottles and pill-boxesthat he found there. Witness on this day several times. gave the de ceased arrowroot and brandy, and beef - tea and brandy, and they always remained on the stonaeli. On the fol lowing morning witness was sent for' suddenly to the house, and f&und the deceased siraing-,, and evidently dying, but there were no symptoms of vomiting or diarrhoea. In witness's opinion the death of the de ceased was occasioned by the irritation produced by the administration of some irritant miiiveral poison, adminis tered c,mstantly in small doses, and arsenic or anti mony would both be calculated to,producc all the symp toms that were exhibited by the. deceased. In the con dition of the deceased, antimony would have been a most improper thing to administer to her, and witness never did administer any in the medicines that he pre pared. The symptoms of the deceased were not attri butable to any known natural form of disease. Ile had a great deal of experience in dysentery in the Crimea, and he never saw such a case as this. Cross-axamined.--Witness had been in practice far five years. All his patients in the Crimea were men. He was never present at a post-mortem examination when the death arose ftom the administration of arsenic in small doses. Witness had entirely formed the opinion that the deceased was the subject of slow arsenical poisoning, but Dr, Julius first suggested the probability of this being the ease. Corrosive sublimate would have produced the same results and symptoms as appeared in this case. Salivation would not necessarily be produced by the administration of corrosive sublimate. The prisoner gave him a regular account of the symptoms of the de ceased every day. All the jars that had been sealed up and numbered were eventually sent to Dr. Taylor to be ex amined. The witness then detailed the particulars of the different medicines that he prescribed for the deceased, and the quantities of the several ingredients of which they were composed. Witness's firm purchased their drugs of Messrs. Herron and Co., of Bishopsgatostreet. The prisoner was particularly anxious that witness should be present at the consultation with Dr. Tood, but he was prevented from doing so by another engage ment. Witness had arrived at the unfavourable con elusion he had come to in reference to the case partly from Isis own observation and partly from what the prisoner told him of the nature of the symptoms. By the Court : The prisoner did not tell him of any other symptoms than those he observed himself. Mr. Caudle, the assistant to Messrs Julius and Bird, deposed that he acted in that capacity for about a year and a-half, and he had preKiously studied medicine. lie made up the whole of the'inedicines that were pre scribed for the deceased. He then stated the diffe- rent ingredients that were used, and stated posi tively that there was no arsenic or antimony in any of the medicines that were prepared by him. In one of the prescriptions given by the prisoner, and which contained prussic acid, he thought the quantity ordered was very large, and he felt nervous, and reduced the strength. The way he did this was by using the prussic .acid of the Pharmacopoeia, instead of that of Scheel's strength, which the prisoner had ordered. they had none of the latter in the dispensary at the time, but he could easily have procured it, but he preferred using the other, which was weaker. On the 29th of April, in the morning, Dr. Julius brought something to the surgery in a bottle, and gave it to the witness, and he locked it up in a cupboard. The next day; Dr. Bird brought him another mixture in a tumbler, and witness placed it in a clean tumbler, and these were both afterwards given to young *Mr. Julius to take to Mr. Buzzard. On Monday, witness sent the nurse Chetwood to Alma Villas, and be took some hydrate of magnesia there for the deceased. Hy drate of magnesia was an antidote for arsenic. There was antimony, and some preparations of arsenic in the surgery, bnt all poisons were kept. locked up in a cup board by themselves, and the antimony was in a very peculiar bottle, and placed on a high shelf. After the death of the deceased, he gave samples of all the ingre dients that he had used in preparing the different medi cines for the deceased, in order that they might be analysed by Dr. Taylor.

At the Leeds Town Hall, on Monday, two men, named Thomas Fowker, cloth dresser, and William Forrest, waterman, were brought a before the m ag i s t rates, in private room, on. the charge of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Richard Broughton, on the Seacroft road, on the evertino , of the Gth instant. At fire o' c l oc k on Saturday afternoon, l detective-officer Johnson, of the Middinsborough police, was in the market place of that town, when he saw the two prisoners, who were strers to him. He was half-carelessly ob servinc, theta, when Fowker turned ronwl, and be trayed'eonsidtrable anxiety at the surveillance under which he saw was placed. He was about to decamp, in company with Forrest, when the officer noticed that he in some degree answered the description. of the mon "wanted" for the murder at Leeds. He consequently followed them until he came up with another officer, and then took them into custody. 'The only thing found upon them. was a pocket knife. Th e y a d m itt e d h eav i ng Leeds on the Sunday after the murder, and a - ,so admitted that they were somewhere near the spot about the time when the crime must have been committed. At their lodgings were found two newly-washed shirts wrapped up in a white handkerchief, and on the handkerchief were the marks of three newly washed Mood spots. A piece was also torn off the corner. Fowker is said to have been. very anxious when he heard that the police had dis covered the handkerchief; and is also stated to have exhibited a great de:.l of mental anguish when he was locked up in the cell.

COMMERCIAL. (From the Times City Article) TUESDAY EVENING.—A rise per cent. in Consols took place to-day in consequence of the purchases on account of the Savings' Banks ; last autumn and winter these purchases reached an aggregate of £2,000,000. The revival is in consequence of the prosperous state of the country, and the abundant harvest. The demand for discount has been moderate to-day s and the general rate is 2 per cent. (From the Daily News City Article.) TUESDAY EvENrNo.—An improvement of per cent. took place to-dad• in the funds, and was well supported. _ _ up to the close of business. The cause of the rise was almost exclusively the ap— pearance of the Government broker as a buyer. The scarcity of stocks forms still the principal feature of the market, business remaining languid. There was . a fair demand for money at the Bank anff. at Lombard-street, and few transactions took place below the Bank minimum. There are already sufficient indi— cations that the Russian Loan will float successfully. Applications for largo amounts were received to-day from the Continent, as well as from foreign houses here. No bullion transactions took place at the Bank to-day.. The Foreign Exchanges this afternoon were steady. The rate on Holland was again slightly higher. The St. Petersburg Exchange exhibits a further movement in favour of Russia. SHIP RAILWAY FROM THE MEDITER- RANEAN TO THE RED SEA The success of the ship-lifting apparatus at the Vic toria Docks has led to the above suggestion, piers of lifted and lowered by hydraulic power. The transit would be effected in cradles resting on five lines of rail— way, and a speed of twenty miles an hour would be anticipated. According to the prospectus of Messrs. Bruntoos and Webb, the cost would be £4,800,000 against the £6,400,000 demanded by M. De Lesseps, which many engineers assert would be swollen to £30,000,000.
