this afternoon was quite up to the average.
ward tendency of Lord Clifden during the two previous
days served as another inducement, and on their assembling
in the room Lord St. Vincent's horse was put up at the
long odds of 20 to 1, at which figure ho remained for some
considerable time, no one feeling inclined to come to the
rescue ; but just at the finish 100 to 6 was accepted about
him twice to a "pony." An impression, however, pre-
vailed that it was only an attempt to stay his downward
tendency ; and although he left off at the price quoted
below, his lordship was pronounced almost on all sides
" gone." The Ranger, who had been supported in the City
on Saturday and this morning,was again in immense force,
anything over 7 to 2 having been accepted, but at the close
layers would not increase those odds by a fractional part.
15 to 2 was booked several times about Avenger, one wall-
known speculator having backed him to win £2,000 ; but
before the lawn was cleared 7 to 1 was the highest offer.
Golden Pledge met with some support at 9 to 1, but at half
a point more even the winner of the Ebor Handicap would
have had a host of friends. Borealis was frequently in-
quired after, and at 100 to 6 was supported to
money : while Blue Mantle, who " touched" those
odds once or twice, had some strong opposition from a well-
known bookmaker, who laid 20 to 1 several times, from
which Captain Lane's horse scarcely rallied during the
afternoon. Mogador, who was said to be such a wonder-
fully improved horse, had an equally wonderful demon-
stration made against him, 1,000 to 15 being offered. The
subjoined list of prices at the close will sufficiently indicate
the tone of the market.

RAILWAY INTELLIGE NCE.

NORTH LONDON.

Yesterday a large body of workmen commenced the demo-
lition on an extensive scale of several hundred houses in
Sun•street, Long-alley, and the neighbourhood, to make
way for their city terminus. All the property required in
the Kingsland-road and Dalston is also undergoing demo-
lition, the houses being chiefly in confined and ill-venti-
lated thoroughfares and in a dilapidated condition. The
effect has been to displace a large number of the inhabitants,
who have, however, been arranged with by the railway
company according to their respective eases and vsitions.
The contract for the construction of the City Extension be-
tween Kingsland and Liverpool-street, City, has just been
let to Messrs. Waring for £215,000.

The total expenses of this company's railways, including
rents, tolls, duty, &c., from July 1 to August 30, 1863,
amounted to £53,754, as against £54,262 for the correspond-
ing period of 1862. The proportion of the South Junction
receipts accruing to this company from July 1 to August
30 amounted to £6,190, as against £5,770 for the correspond.
ing period of 1862, and the expenses to £2,319, as against
£2,390.

not added to the list of rebel prisoners, and some of
these captures are of an important character. Our

The Canadian papers state that Lord Lyons, ac-

Telegraphic adrices by a previous arrival an-
nounced the discovery of a plot to overthrow the
British authority in Canada. The following is
the article from the Toronto Leader :—" Intel-
ligence of the most startling character has come
to us, through a channel which leaves no doubt
of its correctness. Certain persons in Canada
have been detected in a treasonable correspondence,
the object of which was to invite and, if possible, to
induce the Federal Government to invade the pro-
vince, overthrow British supremacy, and bring us
under subjection to the Lincoln dynasty. This
correspondence has been perused by Mr. Archibald,
the Mash Consul at New York, who has commu-
nicated the facts to the Imperial Government. The
persons concerned in this traitorous correspondence
will, we presume, be brought to trial. If our Go-
vernment should feel that it would not be compro-
mising itself or its friends, it wil', doubtless, be
able to obtain the necessary information from the
British Consul in New York."

The Canadian Parliament had passed the address
by a small majority, after several amendments

This is the fourth war vessel which has run the

d'Enghien was slain—Liverpool went mad, and died drivell-
ing. Castlereagh cut his own throat! The superb Prince
Regent, who was too high and mighty to answer the letter
addressed to him by the kidnapped captive of the Bellerophon,
became a king, and died in corporeal rottenness and mental
execration, leaving a memory so abhorred even in his own
family, that the Queen of England would not suffer the
bodies of her mother and her husband to lie in the dis.
honoured sepulchre of George IV. Of the crowd of hack-
writers whom High Toryism incited to spurn the dying
lion, John Wilson Croker, the chief libeller of the Quar-
terly Bering, is quite forgotten as Secretary of the Admi-
ralty, but is remembered and contemned as the pander to
an infamous nobleman; and Theodore Hook expired a
pauper with a nutmeg liver, and the bailiffs hammering at
his outward gates. And were .poor Sir Walter Scott (who,

ALHAMBRA PALACE.

Last evening Signor Nicosia, a violinist of consi-
derable continental reputation, made his first ap-
pearance in England at this splendid establis:mient.
The pieces selected for the display of his rare abili-
ties in the first part cf his performance, were a se-
lection from "11 Trovatore," and a fantastic kind of
polka, the latter, of course, being his own composi-
tion. The first piece, however, was the great effort of
the evening, and fully established his claim to rank
amongst the greatest violinists of the day. The
tones he produced from his instrument were deli-
ciously clear and powerful, the lower notes more
particularly so; and n the plaintive air sung
by Manrico in the last act, he fairly
enchanted his audience by his masterly and facile
execution. The great charm of Signor Nicosia's
playing is, that he accomplishes everything he at-
tempts with the greatest precision and correctness
of intonation, and during the whole of his perform-
ance, which extended over a considerable portion of
the evening, not a single false note was heard. In
the polka, or, rather, we should say, the sensation
piece, he eatecnted several novel movements in the
neatest manner imaginable, and, of course, elicited
the most enthusiastic applause. As a second par.
he gave a selection from "Lucia," performed a la
Paganini, viz., on the fourth string, and in this he
was as successful as in his preceding pieces. He also
played a new arrangement of the " Carnival of
Venice, in which he introduced the harmonics
with extraordinary effect, which brought the per-
formance to a most triumphant conclusion. We
most cordially congratulate Mr. Wilde upon the en-
gagement of this talented artiste, and from the vo-
ciferous applause his playing elicited, it must have
demonstrated to the spirited proprietor of the
Alhambra, that crowded and delighted audiences
can be attracted without the assistance of perfor-
mers on the trapeze. To the brilliant attractions
of the Fairy Fountain, a pretty billet company has
been added, and various other pleasing additions
have been made to the entertainments which now
render the Alhambra one of the most entertaining
places of amusement in the metropolis.

before Mr Tyrwhitt, under the following circumstances.
It appears that on the Bth of July, the owner of the
house was summoned before Mr. Mansfield, who was then
sitting at this court, for having several rooms in his house
in such a filthy state as to be a nuisance and injurious to
health, the 3 and of the house, owing to the overflowing of
the water closet and the bad supply of water, being in an
exceedingly loathsome state, and endangering the health
of the persons residing in the house. After evidence had
been given by Mr. James Grant, the [nspector of Nuisan-
ces, and the medical officer of St. George's, Mr Mansfield
made an order that the premises should be cleansed within
ten days. From that time to the present no notice has
been taken of the order, and Mr. Grant stated that the
premises, when he examined them on Saturday last, were
iu the same filthy state.
Mr. Capson, the solicitor for St. George's, said that the
present proceedings were taken under tee 14th section of
the Nuisances Rawoval Act, under which the owner of the
house, by his neglect to obey the order made, had rendered
himself liable to a penalty of 10s. a day for every day of his
default.
After some conversation and evidence that the original
order had not been obeyed,

Mr. Tyrwhitt made an order against the owner of the
house who, as on the former occasion, did not appear, and
was said only to be at the house once a week, when he calls
for his rent, for the payment of a penalty of 23. 6d. a day
for 26 days, and costs, Mr Tyrwhitt observing that perhaps
that would have the desired effect in putting an end to the
nuisance.

EL TOUSSON AND EL MONASTIR.

The first exploit of these two vessels of war,
which have now almost arrived at completion in
Mr. Laird's building yard, will be to run the home
blockade of legal difficulties before they are allowed
to proceed on their destined career, whatever that
may be. Whether they can successfully navigate
the channel beset with shoals and rocks through
which the Alexandra was steered, remains to be
seen. There is now, we believe, little dcubt that,
under the terms of the Foreign Enlistment Act,
they are to be detained by Government. The alle-
gation against them is that they are fitted out for
the purpose of carrying on hostilities against the
United States. On the other hand, it is contended
that they were built by order of a French house
for the late Pasha of Egypt, who gave the firm a
commission for the coinage of a large sum of money
in France, and for the construction of two steam-
rams in England. The money was duly coined
and received in Egypt. The vessels were in course
of construction when the Pasha died, and his suc-
cessor repudiated that part of the contract. What
the French house intends to do with them is not
known. The accusation is that they are destined
for war with a friendly Power. They will, conse-
quently, be detained, and a court of law will deter-
mine whether, under the terms of the Foreign En-
listment Act, the detention is legal, or whether the
owners can recover them from the hands of the
Government.—Post.

NORTH LONDON.

Yesterday a large body of workmen commenced the demo-
lition on an extensive scale of several hundred houses in
Sun.street, Long-alley, and the neighbourhood, to make
way for their city terminus. All the property required in
the Kingsland-road and Dalston is also undergoing demo-
lition,' the houses being chiefly in confined and ill-venti-
lated thoroughfares and in a dilapidated condition. The
effect has been to displace a large number of the inhabitants,
who have, however, been arranged with by the railway
company according to their respective cases and positions.
The contract for the construction of the City Extension be-
tween Kingsland and Liverpool-street, City, has just been
let to Messrs. Waring for X 2,15,000.

amounted to £53,754, as against £54,262 for the correspond-
ing period of 1862. The proportion of the South Junction
receipts accruing to this company from July 1 to August
30 amounted to £6,190, as against £5,770 for the correspond-

THAMES.

THE WORST TRIM" IN THE DlSTRlCT.—Catherine Har-
rington, a masculine, bloated, and dissipated woman, ap.
parently about 60 years of age, who owned to being 40 only,
was charged with stealing a pair of boots and a waistcoat
from a sailor named Stephens.

Henry Wells, police-constable 49.5 A, said the prisoner
had been in custody a great many times—he could not say
how often—and had been summarily convicted eight or
nine times and sentenced to short periods of imprisonment.
She was once convicted at the Cierkenwell Sessions for
robbing a sailor of his watch and mcney and stripping him
of his clothes at the same time, and was sentenced to
eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. She
had very recently been released from prison. In
February last she was brought before Mr. Selfe charged
with a serious highway robbery. She knocked down and
ill-used a seaman in Ratcliff-highway, and robbed him of
his watch, and Mr. Selfe would have committed her to the
Central Criminal Court for trial, but was prevented from
doing so owing to the prosecutor leaving England in his
ship for India on the very day she was brought before the
magistrate. Mr. Selfe then said no one deserved penal ser-
vitude for life more than the prisoner, and that he was com-
pelled to decide the case summarily, under the Criminal
Justice Act, because the prosecutor was going to sea, and
he sentenced her to sfx months' imprisonment and hard
labour. The prisoner had been in the practice of stopping
drunken sailors, and she was not over scrupulous about ill-
using or knocking down any man who made any resistance.
The prosecutor in this case said that he was intoxicated
yesterday, and that ho was robbed of his waistcoat and
boots.

A police-constable named Pye, 87 K, stated that ho saw
the prisoner and a man come out of a publichouse in Shad-
well. She was carrying a pair of men's boots. Ho fol-
lowed the prisoner and took her into custody, on which her
companion struck him a violent blow on the side of the
head. He secured the prisoner, and her bully ran away.
The witness then produced the boots, which were identified
by Stephens, who was without any on his feet.
The constable said that he found a duplicate relating to
a waistcoat on the prisoner.
Louisa Brown stated that she saw the sailor asleep on a
bench in a publichouse. The prisoner and a man with her
were " muddling " the sailor. Catherine Harrington felt
in his pockets and could not find any money in them. The
prisoner then "muddled" the sailor, and took off his boots.
The prisoner was remanded to ascertain whether the
ticket of the waistcoat found on her related to the ono
stolen from the sailor, and also to bring a proper record and
proof of her former conviction at the sessions.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Increasing Mortality.—When the
dangers from diarrho3a are so great and appalling, as the
weekly death list shows it to be at present, it behoves every
mother and nurse to know that this ointment, rubbed upon
the belly, aided by moderate doses of Holloway's pills,
proves the simple, harmless, and effe3tive remedy. Thou-
sands of children have been instantaneously eased and ulti-
mately saved by rubbing this antidotal ointment twice or
three times a day upon the abdomen after it has been
fomented with warm water. This course is the most prac-
ticable in children's bowel complaints, where there is a dif-
ficulty in exhibiting internal medicines; and this treat-
ment succeeds where sedatives and astringents have been
fruitlessly prescribed.

CARDINAL MARIO SFORZA, ARCHBISHOP OF
NAPLES.—Sir George Bowyer, in a letter dated
Radley-park, Sept. 4, to our chief contemporary, writes :
In a leading article to-day you describe Cardinal Riario
Sforza as " an ornamental prelate," enjoying all the ameni-
ties of a luxurious courtly existence. This is a mistake.
Cardinal Riario Sforza, is a man of saintly and mortified
life. Though of princely birth, he has always lived in severe
self-denial, devoted to the poor, the sick, and the afflicted,
I will only mention one trait of his character. When the
cholera broke out at Naples he was absent on account of
bad health. He immediately hastened to his people. He
passed night and day in the hospitals among the sick, at
the risk of his life—dispensing with the most unbounded
charity the consolations of religious and temporal relief.
He expended all he had. He then sold everything of value
that he possessed, When all was gone he borrowed money
on his personal credit, that he might relieve the poor. At
the termination of the pestilence he was left quite in penury.
His heroic charity earned for him the title of " the St.
Charles Borromeo" of Naples. But this is only one instance
of the benevolence of a man whose whole life has been con-
stant devotion, charity, and self-denial.
CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT AGAINST A
MANUFACTURER.—At the police-court, Notting-

owner in whose employment they were. One of the young
women stated that whilst she was engaged at herustuahel
work, her employer came behind her and perpetrated

ALHAMBRA PALACE.

Last evening Signor Nicosia, a violinist of consi-
derable continental reputation, made his first ap-
pearance in England at this splendid e.2tablisllment.
The pieces selected for the display of his rare abili-
ties in the first part of his performance, were a se-
lection from "11 Trovatore," and a fantastic kind of
polka, the latter, of course, being his own composi-
tion. The first piece, however, was the great effort of
the evening, and fully established his claim to rank
amongst the greatest violinists of the day. The
tones he produced from his instrument were deli-
ciously clear and powerful, the lower notes more
particularly so; and n the plaintive air sung
by Manrico in the last act, he fairly
enchanted his audience by his masterly and facile
execution. The great charm of Signor Nicosia's
playing is, that he accomplishes everything he at-
tempts with the greatest precision and correctness
of intonation, and during the whole of his perform-
ance, which extended over a considerable portion of
the evening, not a single false note was heard. In
the polka, or, rather, we should say, the sensation
piece, he executed several novel movements in the
neatest manner imaginable, and, of course, elicited
the most enthusiastic applause. As a second part
he gave a selection from "Lucia," performed a la
Paganini, viz., on the fourth string, and in this he
was as successful as in his preceding pieces. He also
played a new arrangement of the " Carnival of
Venice, in which he introduced the harmonics
with extraordinary effect, which brought the per-
formance to a most triumphant conclusion. We
most cordially congratulate Mr. Wilde upon the en-
gagement of this talented artiste, and from the vo-
ciferous applause his playing elicited, it must have
demonstrated to the spirited proprietor of the
Alhambra, that crowded and delighted audiences
can be attracted without the assistance of perfor-
mers on the trapeze. To the brilliant attractions
of the Fairy Fountain, a pretty ballet company has
been added, and various other pleasing additions
have been made to the entertainments which now
render the Alhambra one of the most entertaining
places of amuFement in the metropolis.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Gazolee.)

Henry Conderot was' indicted for stealing goods to the
value of £6O, the property of his employer, M. Alphonse.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
Mr. Sleigh, the counsel for the prosecutor, said, as the
prisoner's conduct had been eulogised for honesty, he had
to inform the Court that he had been sentenced in France
to five years' iraprismment for forgery, he being at the time
a corporal in the 7th regiment of the line, and also for 12
months for swindliog.
The learned judge sentenced him to 10 years' penal ser-
vitude.
