Fitioar, Alit:. 18.—Only a moderate supply of both
old and new English wheat—the latter in fair condition,
was on offer in to-day's market. For all kinds, we had
a slow i.nquirY ; nevertheless, Monday's quotations were
anpported. The attendance of millers was rather
hunted. There was a full average quantity of foreign
wheat on the stands. Good and fine samples were held
at full prioes ; but inferior samples met a dull inquiry,
on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth
were • dull inquiry. Scarcely any barley was on offer,
and sales were, consequently, much restricted, on former
terms. Malt moved a heavily, at late rates. • Good
sound oats ruled steady, at fall quotations. Inferior
parcels were a dull inquiry. Reams, peas, and flour
moved off slowly, at late currencies.

THE ZURICH CONFERENCE.

DEUR, August IS.

Yesterday the French and Sardinian Ambassadors
had a conference. To-day a dinner is to be given by
Count Colloredo on the occasion of the birthday of
the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Zunicu. Friday, August 19.
a Yesterday • Conference took place between the Pleni-
potentiaries of France and Austria. A messenger of
the French Cabinet has arrived here, and bas departed
again for Paris. At the banquet given by Count Cid-
loredo N. Doube pi-moused the health of the Emperor
of Austria, and Count Colloreslo proposed ma a toast,
"Thu permanence of the friendship between Austria
and Switzerland and the Government of Zurich."
In the next sittings of the Conference it is supposed
that the question of the boundary of Lombardy and her
participation in the Austrian debt will be settled.
To-day there was • conference between M. de lkiur-
ipieney, and M. Dcsanibrois, the French and Sardinian
Plenipotentiaries.

AUSTRALIA.

According to a report from Mr. Thomas, one of the
engineers in the Government Railway Department of
the colony of New South Wale., on the present condi-
tion of the Fitzroy Iron and Coal Mines, these works,
notwithstanding past mistakes in the mode of develop-
ing tl.cui, promise, at an early date, to be of much
ito-
-lortar,ce. They are situated at a place called Mitt,-
coil, which will shortly be within two or three hours
of Sydney by rail, and the ore is pronounced to be ,
equal, if not superior, to any now obtained in England
for all the finer operations of cutlery. It is stated altos
to be in every respect adapted for ordnance purposes,
since "a heavy gun of this iron would nearly approach
to a steel one ;" and Mr. Thomas remarks that at the
Great Exhibition at Paris in 1835, the 31it1.agong ores,
and the articles manufactured for I hem, attracted peculiar
attention from the irunnuisters of France. Under these
circumstances, he recommends the proprietors to take
innuediate steps for bringing the best ores to the mar-
ket, either for local railway machinery, or for exporta•
Mon, a proceeding which would require uo other out-
lay than the payment of • few quarrymen, who, if re-
munerated according to the amount of ore sent to
, Sydney, would require no superintendent or overseer.
Good workable coal, however, exists on the spot, so
that the manufacture I.f iron can be ultimately under-
taken on any scale that may be deeuied desirable.
Limestone—a less important adjunct—is found at a dis-
tance of 12 utiles. In the neighbourhood there is a chair
&ate well, and the idea is therefore entertained that
with the facilities of thl railway the place may even-
tually become the Cheltenham of the Sydney popula-
tion.

The state of the provincial corn markets on Saturday
last was variable. Much of the new wheat was infe-
rior, and the demand increased for the old samples,
which brought, in general, about late rates. New
wheat went at a reduction of from Is to 25., except
where the lots came to hand dry, bright in colour, and
of full average weight per sack, which description in
some ewes brought an advance of Is. over the highest
races lately given. Oats were mostly Is. cheaper.

WITCELIMPTON.

FlRE.—About 7 am. on Sunday morning a fire
broke out at the house of Mr. John Hibberd,_ grocer
and provision dealer, in the quiet village of Witch.
ampton. The roof Laing thatch there was DO hope
of saving the building. By the aid of the police and.
neighbours most of the furniture and stock were got
out. The policeman had a narrow escape, being shut
in in one of the up-stair rooms of the burning bruise,
and one poor man had his arm severely burnt
through over seal in endeavouring to render assist-
ance. The Wimborne fire engine was Pent for, but
failed to arrive, in consequence, we understand, of
the engine keeper not being paid for his attendance
at tires in the same village on previous occasions.
The last time be rendered assistance be received a
severe blow on the face from • stick or stone from
some drunken fellow. The fire was allowed to barn
out. The property belongs to H. C. Start, Esq.,
and nearly every house in the parish also, and no
doubt he will see the necessity of keeping an angina
for the protection of property, fires having bees
frequent in this parish of late. The cause of the fire
is supposed to be a defect in the chimney. The

Southampton borough force, found a woman in
her nightdress, and without stockings or shoes, at
the corner of Cambridge-street, near the cricket
ground, on the marsh. She stated that her name
was Spencer, and having made her way to the street
in her sleep had lost her residence. The oflicer
discovered that she warn lodging at No. 29, in the
urns street; and ascertained on examining the
piemisea that she slept in a room on the ground
floor, at the back, the windowof which was up;
shehail gut out of the window, climbed over a wall
6 feet high, fallen into an area, then broken the
window of an empty house, and having gone from
thence into a front room, opened the window and
jumped out upon the pavement is the street. She
complained that it was very cold, and it was evident
that she had also severely cut her hands during her
midnight sulventure.

MEECH OF ThE EMPEROR.

The Moniker publishes the following :—This evening I
(14th) • grand banquet, to which :300 persons were in. I
vited, was given by His Majesty the Emperor to the
principal chiefs of the army, ill the Salle des Etats.
Al the close of the banquet the Emperor spoke as
follows :—Gentleruen,—The joy I experience at finding
myself again with most of the chiefs of the army of Italy
would be oomplete if it were not tinged with the regret
to behold soon the dissolution of the elements of a force
iso well organised and formidable. As Sovereign and as
Commander-in-Chief I thank you again for your confi-
deuce. It was flattering to me, who had never com-
manded an army, to find so much obedience on the pert,
of men who haif great experienee in warfare. If success
has crowned our efforts, I am happy to attribute the
greater part ri it to those skilful and devoted Generals
who rendered my command easy, because, animated
with the sacred fire, they have incessantly given the
example of duty and of disregard of death. A portion
of our soldiers are about to return to their homes; you
yourselves are about to resume the occupations of peace-
Nevertheless, do not forget what we have done together.
Let the remembrance of obstacles overcome, of denier'
*laded, al imperfections discovered, be ever present to
your mind, for to the warrior past experience is science.
In commemoration of the Italian campaign I shall di.
tribute a medal to all who took part in it, and I will!'
that to-day you may be the first to wear it. May it
recall me sometime to your memory, and wink reading
the glorious names engraved thereon let each exclaim;
"If France has done so much for • people who is h
friend, what would Ithe not do for her OMR .
I promise the health of the army.

bodied man, refused to give him. Upon thi, the
beggar walked outside of the shop, and deliberately,
with his fists, smashed two panes of the shop
window, scattering in all directions the various
articles: therein exhibited. Mr. Chambers ran out,
as did also some of his neighbours who had hcant
the math, awl found the loan standing in front of
the window, without attempting to abscond ; one of
the neighbours bets.n to remonstrate with him, and
received for his trouble a heavy blow on the head,
t.hich sent hint staggering. By this time several
person,: went attracted, to the spot, some of whom
secured the offender, who became quite infuriated,
cursing and swearing awfully, and struggling most
vio!ently : nor was it without some little rough
usuage that he was detained until the police arrived,
and conveyed him, still swearing and struggling to
the station. On searching him, a paper wag 1.041141
on him certifying that he had been an itnaate of
Maidstone County Asylum, and was discharged on
the 111th ult. as cured. He is a native of the Cape
of Good Hope, and has served several years in the

—On Thursday evening week the first lecture of the
winter seaman was delivered by the ltev. J. Cheney,
of Portland • subject "Our Country past and pro-
pene, its relation to the middle and working classes."
The weather unfortunately was very unfavourable,
and this had a corresponding diminishing effect on
the attendance, which was no., numenms. The chair

was taken by. J. Bosworth, E.q. -The- -I;ciu—re;
treated his subject in a very instructive and into
-
resting manner, evincing great raearch and judicious
employment of the information he had gathered.
He showed in graphic style the program and advance-
ment of the indiuM-. ial classes through successive
periods of history, in spite of legisliaive enactmenta
and restrictions. He also demonstrated that the

rapid strides made in later years by the middle and
working clams must in a great measure ha *scribal
to the improvements in maehinwy and the introduc-
tion of steam power, coupled with the spread of in-
telligence through the MOMS of the press. The CUB.
tomary vote of thanks at the conclusion of the lec-
ture was warmly acquiesced in by the audience, and
Mr. I.:lading, the secretary, alluded to the contem-
plated improvements in the lihrary, by which a con-
stant supply of new and interesting books would be
furnished, and be trusted this would secure an aeon-

GRAND NIGHT DEFENCE Or POIMMOUTH.-Thill
very interesting military demonstration took place
an Friday night week—the exact hour was, of course,
kept a secret. For many nights previously the in-
habitants had been on she qui tire, and those Who
persevered were well rewarded. On Friday night,
a little before ten o'clock. the Lieutenant-governor,
Major-General Sir James Scarlett, and staff, took up
a position on the top of the tower flanking the heavy
shell.gun battery at the entrance of the harbour. In
a few seconds three alarm guns from the King's
Bastion were fired in quick succession. In two
minutes the signal was answered and repeated from
the various forts and Southsert Castle. Bugles
sounded, and shortly afterwards the heavy tramp of
armed men in different divisions at the doable,
headed by their respmtive officers, quickly manned
the heavy guns facing seaward. The excitement
was now very great, nearly every house IVILI left va-
cant, and the inhabitants made a rush for the battle-
ments, Southsca-conin ttttt , and the sealwach. Within
ten minutes from the time of the alarm gulls the bat-
teries opened in earliest upon the supposed enemy
from the Point Fort, Kings Bastion, Spur Redoubt,
Southsea Castle, Fort and Blockhouse, on
the I:import side of the harbour ; these guns com-
manded the entire position of the narrow channel, one
awl a-half miles distant, by which one ship only could
enter at a time, and which would be speedily sunk
or set lire to by red-hot shot and shell. The Royal
Artillery vied with each other Hi working their gnus,
and a coal 111 l ons roar is as kept up for forty minutes.
The highest credit is due to the troops, for the ilia-
cipline they have attained, and for the steadiness anil
rapidity with which they sponged, loadcd, and tired
such heavy onlnances.
