PARIS, FRIDAY ErMIC.
1 was not sufficiently weather-wise yesterday
morning when I prognosticated a bad day for the
fete. There was plenty of rain hanging about and
torrents of it came down in the course of the night
and this morning. But about 2 o'clock yesterday
there was a respite, which despite not unfrequent
threatening black clouds, was prolonged till long
after sunset. The afternoon was exceedingly plea-
sant and more favourable to promenading than the
intensely hot weather of the beginning of the
week. There was novelty in this August 15
fete, so often described in former years, on account
of a change of venue both by day and night. The
day fair which used to be held on the esplanade of
the lnvalides was transferred to the heights of
Trocadero—a good exchange. There was much
more room, much fresher air, and the amphitheatri.
cal form of the ground enabled a greater number of
people to see one of the principal attractions of the
fête—the military pantomimes on the two tempo.
rary theatres. Two years ago these pantomimes
represented the taking of Puebla and other
triumphs of the French army in Mexico,
Of course the subject was changed this year.
What it was does not matter. Ido not know, and
am quite sure my ignorance was shared by ninety-
nine hundredths of the beholders ; but there was
all the requisite amount of gunpowder, desperate
assaults, slaughter, love-making, and bacchanalian
songs, and the vast audience was pleased. From
the heights of the Trocadero I strolled down the
new flight of a hundred steps to the Pont de Jdna,
and so into the exhibition, with the view of seeing
whether the many hundreds of thousands of extra
visitors to Paris had swollen the attendance there.
It was not so. There were palpably fewer per.
sons than on the day before. The bulk
of the sightseers of the day came for gratis amuse-
ment, and did not care to pay a franc for admission
to the Exhibition. The substitution of the Arc de
Triomphe de l'Etoile and the high ground our-
rounding it for the fireworks was a great improve-
ment upon the old place at the fort of the Troca-
dero. The display was seen not only all over
Paris, but by the inhabitants of St. Cloud,
Sureane, St. Germain, and many surrounding vil-
lages. The fireworks must be pronounced
a great success The illuminations in the
Champs Elysies—festoons of ground-glass lamps
lighted by gas—one green lamp to six white ones—
were somewhat marred by the wind which put out
the lights frequently. A number of employes,
considerately placed on duty, struggled against
this cmitretemps—the French word in this instant
is more appropriate than "difficulty "—and gal-
lantly re-lit the bees which were continually being
blown out. Every precaution was taken to prevent
accidents, such as saddened the fete last year, and
happily with success. I have not heard of a single
mishap.
The Moniteur do Soir announces the fact that
the Empress left Paris at 1 o'clock this afternoon
for the Chalons camp, and further that the Emperor
and Empress will start from the camp to-morrow
morning for Salzburg direct. There was a review
at the camp yesterday for the Emperor's fete,
The King of the Greeks, Prince Humbert, and the
Prince Imperial rode by the side of the Emperor.
11 In the evening there was a grand dinner in the
Emperor's pavilion, and afterwards a torchlight
tattoo, in which the bands of all the regiments
took part.
The Bourse was heavy. Rents fell 15c. for cash
and 121 c. for account, closing at 69fr. 80c. and
69fr. 671 c. Mobilier fell 6fr. 25c., Credit Fonciot
10fr., and Italian 10c.

GUILDHALL.
CAUGHT NAPPING.

Jnnei nrynnt alias Uraef, a rough-looking fellow, was
y10.v.1 at the bar, on remand, before Sir R. W. Carden,
ch.irgol with stealing a purse containing its. from the
yer‘n of James Bunkhouse a fireman on board the Viatica.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was
en his way to his ship at Wapping, and while passing
through St. Paul's Church-yard he sat down on the steps of
Nosrs. Cook and Sons' warehouse to wait for a Blackwell
omnibus. In a few minutes he fell asleep, and the pri-
soner. passicg and finding him napping, took the oppor-
tunity of turning one of his pockets inside out, and appro-
pnuting the contents to his own use. It happened, how-
ever, that John Gale, 477, observed the prisoner stooping
evil the prosecutor, and wished to know what the
prisoner had taken from him. A purse was in
the prisoner's hand, which •he said was his. He
trod to put it in his breast coat pocket, but
Cale stopped him and took it from him. The officer then
woke the complainant up, when he missed his purse. The
prisoner gave a false name and address, but be persisted
that it was the officer's mistake, and not his. Upon that
Si Robert W. Carden remanded him till this day for in-
quiries to be made respecting him. Gale saw the person
the prisoner represented as his landlady, and she knew
nothing about 'him.

land Winds have backed towards southwest, and are fresh in
the English Channel. Weather is overesat.

It is announced, says Galignani, that the Queen
of Spain is again in an interesting situation.
The select committee on the administration of
the Army Reserve Fund, observes the Army mid Nary
Ga:efie, bas not yet made its report. The inquiry has
turned out to be more more comprehensive in its scope
and more important in its bearing on the future system of
the service than was anticipated, and it will be renewed
next session. So far as the evidence has gone, we under-
staid it points to very considerable chanfes.
General T. Perronet Thompson s letters to his
constituents, which contain, among other things, the sub-
ject-matter for which he was attacked in parliament by
the Hon. Major Anson, and defended by Mr. J. Stuart
Mill and Mr. W. E. Forster, and which were originally
published under the title of " Audi Alteram Perim," in
three volumes, are about to be republished in a third
edition, in one volume, by Messrs. Heywood and Co.,
under the title of " Letters of General T. Perronet
Thompson to his Constituents on the Indian Mutiny, and
' all public matters," with a memoir of the General, written
by Mr. W. S. Northhouse.—City Press.
THE WEATHER IN YORKSHIRE.—MALTON, FRl-
DAT.—Daring last night the heaviest rainfall ever regis-
tered here took place, the fall for the whole 24 hours
being 1.70 inches. The great fall was between 8 p.m. and
5 a.m. There being no wind the rain name steadily down,
and the crops in consequence are not nearly so much laid
as was anticipated. To day there is a brisk wind and
rising barometer. The crops have dried rapidly, and the
laid corn will mostly be got up little injured early in the
week.

The pnsoner vehemently declared that she knew all
about him, for she was his stepmother.
Gale replied that it that were the case, she would not
know anything about him, for she professed entire igno-
rance with regard to him or anything about him.
Sir Robert W. Carden said that according to his own
statement, he must be a bad fellow, for even his step-
mother would not acknowledge him. He must go to
prison for three months with hard labour.

BOW-STREET.
TARIM": THE TINE FROM BIG BEN.

Furl. rink Money, s slight built smartly dressed young
fellow, wu brought up on remand before Sir Thomas
Henry, charged with stealing a large old-fashioned silver
watch, valued at six guineas, from an elderly gentleman
named Park. _ _

The prosecutor stated that on Monday afternoon,
about fi o'clock, he was sitting upon a bench in the
(:Teen-park, when the prisoner came up to him and
in the politest manner possible requested him to be
good enough to inform him what was the time. Wit-
ness produced his watch, and was in the act of looking
at it, when the prisoner said, " Are you sure you are
right?" and snatching the watch from his hand, tore it,
guard chain and all, away from the button hole of his
waistcoat. to which it was attached, and scampered away
as fast an he could towards the mall of St. James's-park.
Witness, more incensed at the audacity of the trick than
even at the loom of his property, started off in pursuit
and after a long chase overtook him on the Mall
opposite the Duke of York's column. He seized the prisoner
and detained him in spite of his struggles until a police-
man came and took him into custody. The prisoner who
still had the watch in his hand coolly told the constable
" that he did not intend to steal the watch, but was only
going to regulate it; and, as be always took his time from
Big Ben, he was going to the parade to get a good view of
the clock tower."

THE RHYMNEY MURDER,—At the adjourned in-
quest on the body of Maria Thomas, whose corpse was dis-
covered at the bottom of an old coal shaft at Rhymney, •
verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned against William
Prather), a young man who kept company with the de-
ceased. The evidence given was very conflicting, but
Levers' witnesses swore to having seen a man near the
mouth of the pit on the night the deceased left her home.
CRUELTY TO CH IL DARN. —At the Truro Board of
Guardians on Thursday the Rev. J. Perry brought before
the noPee of the guardians the ease of • woman, with five
children, living in the parish of Perranzabuloe. It appear.
that about three years ago the woman's husband died,
leaving her with four children =provided for, and up to
about two months ago she had been in receipt of 6.. • week
from the union. At that time, however, she gave birth to
an illegitimate child, upon which the relief was stopped,
and the woman was offered the workhouse. She refused
to enter the house, and went out daily to work, leaving
her children locked up in • room without any furniture
and having one old shawl as the only article of clothing
among them. The eldest child was eight years old. They
were frequently without food all day, unless the neigh-
bours, who were themselves very poor, took compassion
on them. The guardians decided that the woman should
again be " offered the house," and if she refused it she
should be brought before the magistrates on a charge of
cruelty to her children.
A LITERARY PIANO. —Mr. Pratt, of Alabama, is
the inventor of a type-writing machine, lately exhibited to
the London Society of Arts, which is said to print a man's
thoughts twice as fast as he can write them with the pre-
sent process. By • sort of piano arrangement the letters
are brought in contact with carbonized paper, which is
moved by the same manipulation. The machine is com-
pact and simple, and can be made for 15 dole. with a hand-
some profit. Its feasibility is manifest. Legal copying
and the writing and delivery of sermons and lectures, not
to speak of letters and editorials, will undergo • revolution
RS remarkable as that effected in books by the invention
of printing, and the weary process of learning penmanship
in schools will be reduced to the requirement of the art of
writing one's own signature and playing on the literary
piano above described, or rather on ita improved succes-
sors—Missouri Republican.
THE CHOLERA IN ITALY. —A letter from Tirano
to the Lombardia of Milan says :—" The cholera was
lately brought here by • pig-dealer from Bergamo. The
very day of his arrival two persons who had had relations
with him were attacked and died within 12 hours. These
two cases were followed by six others in the same street.
The municipality then adopted energetic measures. It
'caused the street to be evacuated and sent
the inhabitants to • mountain." At Catania the
cholera continues to decrease. On the 6th them were
74 came and 63 deaths ; on the 7th, 41 and 37. At Palermo,
on the contrary, it is augmenting frightfully. On the 7th
there were 218 cases, 123 of which were fatal ; and on the
Bth 319, and 164 deaths. The Gaze tie de France says :
"On rumours of cholera at Naples the populace rushed in
• masa to the abode of • fortune teller called the Sybil,
massacred her, and cut her into morsels. The authorities
have suspended the march of troops, fairs, and even the
examination of studends. At Naples all ships coming from
Leghorn are placed under quarantine."
THE FRENCH JOURNALISTS IN DENMARK. —A
letter from Copenhagen dated the 12th, from M. Jules
Richard, one of the writers in the Situation. says :
" Since midnight, when the deputies and journalists from
Paris set foot on Danish soil, my head is in a whirl. At
Korsew, where we disembarked this morning at 7, all the
ships were decked out with flags; and the whole popula-
tion of the little town awaited us, the mayor at their head.
Hardly were we signalled than the cannon raised the echoes
aU along the comet. hi. Sylow, the mayor, in uniform,
addressed us as soon as the portable bridge was Owed
from the vessel to the shore. M. Morin, deputy, im-
provised • few words, in which he thanked the Danes
in the name of their trench friends. We landed and
• 'ere almost carried song by the crowd ; M. Bille,
editor of the Dagblesd, and 31. Bierring, Professor
at the University of Copenhagen, seized on us in the
name of the committee charged with the duty of
feting us, and installed us in • railway carriage.
At every station there were addresses, flowers, flags, and
hurrahs ! At Copenhagen fully 25,000persorus received us at
the terminus, and the carriages into which our hosts made us
enter could hardly make way through the crowd. The
people shouted ' Hurrah for France !' We replied as well
as we could ' Denmark for ever !' I have only to close my
eyes to believe that lam • power of this world, so many
hurrahs do I hear, and so many salutes do I receive."
PARIS RICH I BITION. —REPORTS ON THE CLASSES.
—Professor Leone Levi, in connexion with him report on the
silk manufacture, shawls, hosiery, lase small wares, and
costume at the reds Universal Exhibition, makes the
following recommendations, which, however, have prac-
tical reference, more or less, to all the claws :—First,
that a commission should be issued composed of indi-
viduals possessing artistic, ethnological, chemical, and
commercial knowledge, to examine and report upon the
state of manufacturing industry in different countries in
relation to the requirements of the masses of the people.
A committee of the House of Commons would not meet
the case, as it would be impossible to obtain the necessary
information in this country. And the reports of her
Majesty's secretaries of embassy and legation on
the manufactures, commerce, Ice., of the countries
in which they reside, valuable as they are, are
not sufficiently complete and technical for the
purpoee. Secondly, works of the game character as that
of Dr. Forbes Watson on the costumes and textile mate-
rials of India should be produced from time to time for all
countries, and communicated to our chambers of commerce
and manufactures, together with collections of samples of
textile materials woven and produced in such countries.
Thirdly, the advantage of such exhibitions can best be
extended by enriching our museums, extending our gal-
leries, and exhibiting to the masses of the people not only
models of art and design, but whatever may interest them
regarding the condition of life and intellifenee all over
the world. Lastly, as regards artistic instruction, it has been
my duty to report that in the classes I have more especially
examined Great Britain seems somewhat deficient in
inventiveness and design. Thirty-one years ago, in the
session of lfiiB, a committee of the House of Com-
mons was appointed to inquire into the best mcana of ex-
tending a knowledge of the arts and of the principles of
design among the people, especially the manufacturing
population of the country; and it is singular that even
then this deficiency was particularly manifested in the
very branches I have reported upon. A high authority,
Dr. Playfair, has just suggested • careful inquiry into the
schools of art and design in other countries, and I can
only bear my testimony to the necessity of such an in-
quiry as an important branch of that which I have rug.
Bested into the state of manufacturing industry. Great
lessons and untold benefits are derived from undertakings
of so vast • character as these international exhibitions,
and mot the least of them are the various suggestions to
which they give rise, and the impetus they give to the
permanent progress of industrial art in all coontnes,

In answer to the magistrate, the prisoner admitted the

given an address in Seven-diala, which he assured the

A LICENSED VICTI'ALLER coxiirrnso FOR TRIAL FOR AN
ALLEGED AS,AL LT ON A POLIO" CONSTABLE..
- . _ _

Joseph Thomas Gunn, of Richmond-terrace, Wimming-
ton-road, Bethnal-green, was charged with having violently
assaulted Polico-constable Mott, 345 K division. This
inquirry has been banging over since the 29th t. when the
constable swore that at near 2 o'clock a.m., while on duty
near Victoria-park, at • spot known as Ashwell-road, he
had occasion to turn his light on two women in ad-
vance of him. The prisoner with his wife, as asserted,
was pestling also at no great distance, and the bull's-
eye's rays were cast on his features—a circumstanoe that
evidently made him angry, for he instantly turned,
and calling him (witness) • thief and a rogue,
struck him in the face with his fist. Complainant asked
why he committed such assault, and he replied, " For
taming your light on nee, and I will do so
again," which he did. Complainant then took him
into custody. He resisted, and called for help.
Two militiamen ran up and tendered help, but not to the
prisoner, who, with their aid, was taken to the station
house, followed by his wife who stated there that the
constable bad tried to strike her husband with the staff,
while he averred that when be asked the constable, "Who
do you think you were turning your light on ?" the latter
replied, "You and your --" Both these accusations
were denied by the constable, who called a young woman
named Mary Ann NichoL She supported the whole of his
statement, but her evidence was, on account of her cha-
racter, almost useless ; indeed, she has not, since her first
examination, put in an appearance, and each party attri-
butes her absence to the influence of the other.

the constable, who, it appears, has
not been more than three or four months in the force, de-
nied having said or done aughtthat should havegiven offence
to the prisoner. The militiamen were, of course, ignorant
of all that occurred previous to their having reached the
sPot.
Mr. Greaves assured the court that his client was a most
respectable man, at present out of business, and, with his
had been most grossly insulted. He distinctly denied
guilt.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the
sessions in two sureties of .Of. each, and himself in double
that sum.

ADVENTICROIIS VOYACE Amon" TEE ATLANTIC.
—Captain Churchbill, of the ship Research, which came
Into Greenock on Wednesday from Quebec, reports having
fallen in, on July 28, in latitude 45.49 north, and longi-
tude 52.50 west, with the daring adventurers who left Bal-
timore about the beginning of July in a small fore and aft
schooner-rigged boat of from 17 to 20 feet in length. They
had been in at Halifax, whence they sailed on the 2:lrd
July on their voyage across to the Paris Exhibition. The
vessel, which is named the John T. Ford, is a handsome-
looking craft. It is sharp at both ends, about five feet
beam, and covered over with a deck. There is a scuttle-
bole about mid-ships for the adventurers to get below.
She .78AS very heavily rigged for her size, having a fore-sail,
square-sail, mainsail, 'trysail, and jib, all of which were
set, and a large American ensign flying. The crew con-
sisted of three men and a lad, one of the former being •
Frenchman. The men, although seeming to enjoy the
passage must have had a difficult and dangerous feat to
accomplish. Although there was but • moderate weather'
the Research spoke the tinycraft, still the sea was washing
over her deck, and the night after they parted a heavy sea
Caine on.

A GAMLICEEPER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
A few days since a serious accident happened to a game-
keeper named John Turner, in the employ of Sir James
Watta, of Westwood. near Leek. The unfortunate man
was in the wood adjoining the hall, and while examining
an explosive machine set for poachers the charge exploded,
and the ball, after smashing the injured man's thumb,
passed across the face, laying the cheek open and ploughing
the flesh through, and passing over the temple. The
injured man was taken home, and medical assistance called
in, but it is yet uncertain whether the injuries will not
prove fatal.
AN AGED LADY I3VRNED TO DEATR.—A melan-
eltoly and fatal accident, through burning, was investigated
at an inquest held at Ripon, Yorkshire, on Thursday last.
Mrs. Humphries, an independent widow lady, over eighty
yearn of age, residing in Park.street: Ripon, in lighting the
candles in her sitting-room on Sunday, the 11th inst.,
struck a limiter match, which she threw into the grate, as
she believed, but really on the floor near the chair on
which she was seated, being very infirm. Presently her
silk drew became ignited, and the aged invalid was instantly
enveloped in flames. At this moment Mr. R. M. Bowman,
surgeon, entered her room on a friendly visit, and promptly
snatching a woollen cover from a table, threw it over
her, and thus extinguished the flames. The unfortunate
lady was dreadfully burned, and lingered only till the fol-
lowing Thursday noon. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict according with the above facts.
Tag HARVEST Peosrscrs.—The Gardeners
Mronide and Apricalnsrai Gazette, after giving • table,
founded on numerous harvest reports of its own, under
the headings " over average," " average " and " under
average," remarks :—" It will be seen from this table that
wheat promises a leas satisfactory yield than even 1865'
and 181'6; but barley is probably an average crop as re-
gards quantity of yield, but much of it must be of very
inferior quality. Oats are a better crop than they have
been for the last two years. Beans are generally remark-
ably good ; but peas are considerably inferior to last year's
crop, which was unusually good. For the rest, there is
generally a fair promise of green crops, mantels, and
19ThiPs ; potatoes exhibit more than usually abundant
',Ps of disease ; and there hay been a very heavy crop
cf hay, most of it well got in."
