AILMARIN.

While the winds yesterday the overßrill& Isles were chiefly
-----
light from the northward, a westerly current prevailed over the
greater part of the continent ; barometric pressure increasing in
• southwesterly direction from Sto inches over the Baltic to
about 90.1 In. over Spain.
There la little change to notice to-day, except that barometers
in the west of Ireland have fallen about a tenth of an inch, while
over the rest of the British Isles pressure has continued to In-
crease. Very little rain has fallen, but the weather continues
overact.

" The resignation by the Prince de Metternich,"
says the Literii, " of his post as Austrian Ambassador at
Paris is no longer doubtful ; he persists in it, and has only
consented to remain until his suocessor shall be appointed.
It will not be without sincere regret that the salons of
Paris will see the departure of the Prince and Princess."

The Cologne Gazette has the following :—" Ac-
cording to what transpires on the subject of the secret
sitting of the Chamber of Nobles on Monday, the commit-
tee of privileges has received a proposition tending to ex-
clude from the house Count de Weetphales, au hereditary
member of the assembly. The count lately declared, sill
known, that he considers himself s released from his oath
of fidelity to the King of Prussia, since his Majesty has
dissolved the Federal Diet."

" We learn," says the Meuse, " that the Bel-
gian government is actively occupied in the transforms.
tion of the arms of the infantry. The best systems of
needle guns are studied with the greatest care in the Liege
arsenals, and we have heard that the committee charged
with this task has pronounced in favour of a weapon leav-
ing far behind it the famous Prussian arm."

GALLANT RESCUE OF A LADY FROM FIB=.—(THDI
DAY.)—A fire, which was very nearly being attended with
a fatal result, broke out about half-pest 3 this morning in
the premises of Miss Pitts,l3, Lamb's Conduit-street. The
whole of the inmates, except a lady named Emmeline
Sarah Bedwell, on beinaroused managed to effect their
ei.cape in safety ; but she being in the third floor beck-
room was unable to leave it owing to the density of the
smoke. Conducter Last, of the Royal Fire Escape
Society, after mounting his machine found her
almost suffocated with the heated smoke. He instantly
seized her, carried her from the third to the second
floor, and the escape being in front of the building, handed
her over to Conductor Thompson, who 'serried her down
to the street in • very exhausted condition. The flames
were confined to the lower pert of the premises. The fire
was caused by an escape of gas. The property was insured.
SHOCKING DEATH.—Mr. C. F. Carttar, coroner,
held an inquest yesterday at the Roebuck Tavern, Lewis-
ham, on the body of Walter George Winchester, aged 44,
a ticket inspector of the South Eastern Railway Company.
It appeared that on Sunday night, as the 11.13 North
Kent train from Woolwich was leaving the Lewisham
station, the deceased, who had just come from an adjoin-
ing platform of the Mid Kent line, was offered • bunch of
flowers by William Hall, a driver in the service of the
company, who, although off duty, was riding on the
engine. The deceased ran along the platform to reach the
engine, when by some means he missed his footing, and
fell against the first carriage, from which he rebounded
and fell under the succeeding carriage across the metals.
To save himself the unfortunate man threw out his arms,
but the wheels of the third carriage passed completely
acrom his cheat, from right to left, killing him on the
spot. Mr. Nelson, the station master, said the decamped
had been 19 years in the compasy's service, and was a par-
ticularly dearly and sober man. The jury returned a ver-
dict of " Accidental depth."
THE TEMPLE Putirs.—The result of a careful
analysis of the water from the firer pumps in the Inner and
Middle Temple, by Dr. Nand, professor of chemistry at fit.
George's Hospital, is the condemnation of the water of one
of them, long favoured in the Temple—viz., that in Hare-
court. After having been twice analysed, with the same
results, the water is pronounced to contain organic matter,
as proved by the residue left on evaporation becoming dis-
coloured by heat. The presence of oxydised compounds of
nitrogen points to the possible contamination of the spring
by organic matters of an animal origin. Dr. Road, con-
firmed by the medical officer of the West London Union
under the orders of the Privy Council, strongly recommends
the continued closing of the pump during the prevalence
of the present epidemic. The pump, therefore, remains
closed till further orders. It is satisfactory to find that
the water of the other three pumps, which are now open,
is pronounced free from animal matter, and quite fit for
drinking. The condemned water is described by Dr. Road
as nevertheless " bright, free from smell and taste, and
faintly alkaline."
MARRIED BENEATH HER.—Yesterday, at Wake-
field, a miner, named William Rotherey, about 20 years
of age, was summoned for allowing his wife to become
chargeable to the union. The wife is a person of very
superior position to her husband, and it was much
against the wishes of her relatives, who are persons
of some serial standing in the neighbourhood of Wakefield,
that she had married him. After living with her for
about a month he turned her penniless from the horse, on
some trifling excuse, retaining all her clothes and a large
number of valuables she had brought with her; and, her
friends refusing to have anything further to do with her,
she had been compelled to throw herself upon the parish.
It was arranged that Rotherey, who was in the receipt of
37a a week, should allow bis wife Ss. • week, which sum
was stated to be bendy, if at all, the interest for the
things she had brought hint—Manchester Courier.
THE Navy FRENCH Musxst—A curious experi-
ment with the Chaseepot musket, adopted by the military
commission appointed to examine the different inventions
of breechloaders, has just taken place at the camp of
ChAlons. A letter in the France gives the following ac-
count :—" General d'Auternarre, the president, ordered •
company of 80 foot &assents, armed with the gun in
question, to be placed at 400 metres from a target reps-
menting the front of a squadron of cavalry. In the rear
and to the right of the chasseura was placed a detachment
of Guides at 400 metres also from the line of fire. One signal
given bythe president the latter charged at a gallop,and at
the moos moment the others commenced firing by files at
the target. The object of the trial in question was to se.
certain by counting the shots fired and the balls received
by the target while the cavalry was going over the distance
of 400 metres, or in other words, the effect produced by a
fir* of Infantry on • squadron charging. The Guides went
over the distance in 32 seconds— en extraordinary rapidity
for horsemen heavily accoutred and in a troop—the in-
, fantry fired during the same period 320 shots, and the
target was 'truck 160 times, or 50 per cent of
bullets discharged. The experiment was repeated the
second time, and with exactly the mine result. The
effect of 50 per cent of the shots is terrible ; also, as in
half a minute 80 chasseurs sent 320 bullets at the enemy
that is exactly four to each man. If 83 horsemen bad=
charged those 90 riflemen they would have all been
down on the way."

MONET MARITET.-(THIS DAY.)

ors o‘huow.
Business in public securities has been checked
by the sudden demand for gold for exportation to
New York ; yet prices generally are steady to-day.

Consols and moat of the British railway stocks
are unaltered, while some of the foreign bonds
have experienced a alight reduction. Banking

and financial shares have-been little dealt in, but

the former me in request. Credit Fonder and
Mobilier are flat, and have receded about ss.
The discount market continues quiet, with vary
few tranaactions. The supply of money being large,

choice paper is readily taken at 7 per cent.
Bills are being kept back in expectation of a
reduction in the Bank rate, but the belief
in a downward movement to-morrow is not general.

The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans
on English government securities is 4 to 5 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 884 to f for money,
and 884 to f for the account (September 6).
The dealings in foreign stocks are limited, and
the tone of the market is rather dull. The
reduction in some of the speculative descrip-
tions, however, including Turkish of 1865,
Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates,

and Mexican, does not exceed 1 per cent.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 50i to 511 ;
ditto of 1866, 26 to ; Greek, 11 to I ; Spanish
Passive, 191 to I ; ditto Certificates, 141 tog ;
Italian of 1861, 521 to 1; Brazilian scrip, 21 to 2
dn. ; and Mexican, 16} to
United States 5-20 Bonds have improved 1
per cent. and Erie Railway shares 1 ; but Illinois
Central are without change. The present quota-
tions are subjoined :-5-20 Bonds, 691 to 70 ; Erie
Railway shares, 44f to 46}; and Illinois Central,
761 to 77.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are steady, at
11 t to /, while Atlantic Telegraph are slightly
better, at 3 5-16 to 7-16.
International Financial shares are quoted 11 to
11 dia. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dis. ;
Genteel Credit, 2 to 11 dia. ; Credit Foncier,
31 to si as. ; and Rational Discount, 71 to 8
pram.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 62,0001., including 30,000 sovereigns received
/ from abroad.

The steamer Allemanis took yeaterdaylo2,ooo/. in
gold (American eagles) for New York. This supply
was recently received here from the same quarter.
It is understood that an active movement is on

foot for the resuscitation of the Agra and Master-
man's Bank with the view of preserving for the
benefit of the shareholders the valuable busiresa
and connexion of that establishment in the East.
It is to be hoped that the effort will be successful,
and it is almost to be regretted that the attempt
was not made earlier, although doubtless the strin-
gent position of the money market has been the
cruse of the apparent inaction. The directors of
the bank are said to have appointed • committee
who are now daily considering the subject.
The amount for which tenders for bills on India
will be received on the 6th September is 360,0001.,
of which not more than 120,0001. will be on Bom-
bay.
We are requested to state that Mews. W.
Younghusband, junior, and Co., of Adelaide,
South Australia, are entirely unconnected with
Messrs. Younghusband and Co., of London, whose
bills have been returned.
The law wand in the Spanish Cortes for the set-
tlement of the Passive and Certificate Debts being
in force until the next meeting of the Cortes, in-
qniry has been made at Madrid as to the time fixed
by law for that event to take place. The snare-
is, that the 31st December is the day on which it
must meet, according to the provisions of the Con-
stitution. The government has therefore four
months before it for its action. It seems probable
that the government will, for the moment, adopt a
waiting policy, as regards the Certificate question.
A letter from Madrid, dated the 18th instant,
quotes the price of the Three per Cent. Interior
Consols as being firm at 36t0 f for the account at
the end of the month, with a tendency decidedly
upwards. If this stock shall advance to 40, the
provisions of the law can at once be carried into
effect.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
rates for Holland and Hamburg have slightly de-
clined. An adverse movement has also taken place
with regard to St. Petersburg. The rates on Prance,
however, continue firm. The Italian quotations
are a fraction lower, the change being fr :ourable
to the currency of that country. Subjoined is our

-Vice-Chancellor Stuart by Mr. Geo. Lewis, of the
firm of Lewis and Lewis, the solicitors, for an order
to inspect the books, under the 156th clause of the
Companies Act, 1862. After hearing the evidence
and the affidavit of Mr. Oswald Howell, the ac-
countant, the order was arranged to be granted on
Tuesday next, provided the application was then
made on behalf of several shareholders for the

general body.
At the meeting of the Berlin Waterworks Com-
' pany, held yesterday, the disposable balance was

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&
MARK-LANE.—(IIIIB DAY.)
Therewas a iuotenAte supply of home-grownwheat ousels
here to-day, a fair proportion of which wan of this year's
growth. As the weather is now favourable for harvest
operations, the trade for both red and white qualities was
very quiet, at Monday's decline in the quotations.
Thequantity of foreigu wheat on the stands was some-
what extensive. For all descriptions sales programed
slowly on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent
at the recent improvement in pnces.
With barley the market was scantily supplied ; the trade
In consequence ruled firm, and late rates were well sup-
ported.
Malt moved off slowly at previous currencies.
The supply of oats was good. Good and fine samples
found buyers readily at full prices, otherwise the demand
was heavy, at about late rates.
Beans were dull, but no change took place in prices.
The show of ample!, was very moderate.
Peas met s limited inquiry on former terms.
Flour moved off slowly at Monday's quotations.
Linseed and rapeseed were firm in pros. Cakes were
heavy, but net the Ter.

A NIGHT IN A BALLOON CAL—The following
narrative of a 1:,...y.. ascent in • balloon is given in the
Durham Omni.- .. This ascent took place recently from
Wharton Park :—" Although rain fell, the atmosphere was
pretty still, and Mr. Metcalf determined to proceed with
the ascent. Owing to some delay in the inflation, it was
nearly 9 o'clock before the folds of the balloon were 'dß-
, ciently expanded t.i enable it to ascend, and then not to
an extent origin .lly contemplated. Mr. and Mrs. Met-
calf had both intended to ascend, but, owing to dark-
ness coming on before sufficient inflation had taken
place, Mrs. Metcalf determined to go alone. Ascend.
ingly, about I, o clock, the ' intrepid lady aeronaut'
stepped into the car, and the moorings having been
unloosed, the oilmen rose into the air. It took u.n
easterly direction over Kepler Wood, Kepler Grange,
and the Raintmis, and in the direction of Houghton, but
was Noon lost te view. Anxious inquiries were made as
to whether the ball.on had landed safely,
hod as no tidings
had been heard of the fair voyageur nex ay up to 12
o'clock, consideralde uneasiness was experienced by her
husband and friends on her account. This feeling win
however, sho.y ...terwards dispelled, for about 1 o'clockrt
the lady arrive i in Durham, bringing with her the balloon,
which was conceye.l in a cart. It appears the balloon had
kept in an easterly direction till over Houghton-le-Spring,
when it 'tree, a current which wafted it more to the
south-east. The balloon had travelled about nine miles in
twenty mitr:tem, when Mrs. Metcalf perceived the sea
about half a 1L.:6 distant. She made a rapid descent
and landed in a :ie:il skirting a plantation, and, althoukh
there was no owl present to render the least assistance, the
descent was inc.iie with the greatest safety. Being a
stranger to the loos slity Mrs. Metcalf had no idea of where
she was ; and n, sign of habitation appearing. she was fain
to make a virtue of necessity, and, stepping into the car, .
she covered hers.l with the folds of the balloon, to sleep
till daylight, wl.en assistance might be procured. At 4
o'clock in the morning, wet and weary, she went in search
of assistance, and at length came to a cottage about half
I a mile distant f rc.in the village. Here she aroused the
1 inmates, and. in answer to their inquiries, said she was
a traveller, requesting assistance and a cup of tea, for
which she would willingly remunerate them. Not
aware of the peculiar circuminaticies under siv=
the stranger chimed their hospitality, the inhabitants of
the cottage were naturally averse to be disturbed at that
early hour in th,., morning, and not receiving a very satis-
factory answer, Mrs. Metcalf wended her way back to
where she had left the balloon. When she arrived she found
two men beside the prostrate machine, one of whom In-
quired if she was the person who had knocked at as
cottage door. Receiving an answer in the affirmative,
every hoepitslity vine of course readily tendered, and Mrs'.
Metcalf having got somewarmtesand her dress thoroughly'
dried,
the soon herself again. It turned out that the vil-
lage in e distance was Hawthorne, and that the balloon
had descended between Easingtce and Cold liesledon, in a
field slitting Hawthorne Dens. Having procured the ser-
vice of a vehicle for the conveyance of the balloon, Kra.
Metcalf arrived in Durham about 1 o'clock in the after-
noon, much to the relief of her friends."
CRYSTAL PALACE. —The great illumination of
fountains and display of fireworks will take place to-mor-
row night. Resides the comets and fountains the two
water temples will be transformed into temples of fire,
similar to that which was displayed from the Pont des
Iznik/se on the Emperor's day. fithunto will also make
a night ascent, and the Palace will be lighted up at night.
Four deaths have resulted frees the explodes of
fire damp at the Adelaide Colliery, near Bishop Auckland.
