MULREADY'S RECOLLECTIONS OF NELSON ! PITT!
AND SHERIDAN !—NELSON, he often met at Charing-
cross, going to the Admiralty no doubt. Nelson always
wore on these occasions a closely buttoned-up coat, and a
hat pressed down upon his face. He had a very striking
expression of eye—a far-off-looking air, fixed, and seeming
as if he scanned a distant horizon. It was impossible, said
Mulready, to divest oneself of the idea that Nelson was for
ever on the watch for something, and abserbed in thought
about the contingencies of war. The painter described
PITT as a tall, thin, slovenly-looking man, who was very
untidy about the legs, his stockings being loose and too
large for him. He carried a cocked hat under his arm, as if
from habit, when other folks laid theirs aside. Mulready
remembered to have met SIEEMDAN in full-dress, having
left a party at Holland House very shortly before daylight.
Finding his carriage had not arrived, the wit set off on foot
along the Kensington-road to meet it. Curious to see the
man whom all talked about, Mulready followed him at a
distance. It was a long while before the coach was des-
cried coming slowly up the road, and great was the inso-
lence of the coachman to his master when remonstrated
with. Sheridan must have been pretty well used to this
conduct, for he got into the vehicle without losing much of
due
for temper. Probably the coachman's wages had been
for an unusually lc:mg period.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market was small. Both red and white qualities,
however, sold heavily at Monday's currency.
With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied.
No quotable change took place in the value of any descrip-
tion, but the trade was in a sluggish state.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly on former
terms.

The supply of barley on offer was moderate, and the
demand ruled heavy at previous quotations.
There was a good supply of malt on sale, and the demand
ruled inactive, at barely late rates.
Oats of fine quality supported previous quotations, but
inferior parcels sold heavily, at fully the late decline in
prices.

_
Beans and peas were dull at Monday's currency. The
show of samples were but moderate.
Both in English and foreign floor sales progressed slowly,
at about stationary prices.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

READING.

The writ for the election of a member for the
borough Reading, in the room of Mr. Pigott, was
received in Reading yesterday morning, and at
noon it was read in the market place. His worship,
the mayor, J. 0. Taylor, Esq., has fixed Saturday
next, at eleven o'clock, as the day of nomination.

BARNSTAPLE.
The writ for this election was received on Tues-
day morning, and the mayor has fixed the election
for Monday and Tuesday next.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
titndard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10tha per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 167 to 157 i per cent., and the premium on
gold is 43 to 43} per cent. At these rates there is very little
profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

POLITICAL AMENITIES,

A Coventry Elector, in a letter to the Times
this morning, says :—" Your excellent leading
article of Saturday on the Coventry election has been
very generally read and appreciated by the respec-
table part of the inhabitants of this city, including
large numbers of the more intelligent "freemen,"
but there is a general feeling that justice has not
been done to the 2,129 honest electors, who, true to
their principles, voted for Mr. Peel. There were
also some hundreds of Liberal voters prevented by
the intimidation of landlords and others from voting
as they desired, so that there is really a decided
majority of the electors against the return of Mr.
Treherne ; and it is manifestly unjust to class these
with the mass of ignorance and blackguardism
which recorded 2,263 votes in his favour."
A " Liberal" in the Herald says :—" lam in.
formed that the fracas which took place at Tam-
worth arose from the Secretary endeavouring to
poll an old man who had promised to vote for Mr.
Peel. A town councillor said to the Secretary as
he was taking the old man to the poll, " You have
got one of our voters ;" whereupon Sir Robert
knocked him down, and the gentleman, when he
got up, struck him. To a respectable man Sir Robert
is stated to have said, " You are not a respectable
man." The voter replied that he was as good as
Sir Robert. Sir Robert replied he would make a
dunghill of his house. Can such things be ?''

of the Central Gas to 13.70, and that of the Chartered to

TRADER DEBTOR'S SUMMONS-RULE OF COURT.

A trader debtor's summon was called, Mr. J. B. Sor-
rell, Mark-lane, appearing to oppose.
His Honour said that the case was not in the list, and he
could not take it in precedence to the cases of the day—it
was a sad interruption to the public business that such cases
should slip in at any moment.

Mr. Sorrell expressed his regret that any inconvenience
should arise, but he attended on behalf of his client, who
was summoned for 11 o'clock, and as he was present with
a perfect answer, ho would be satisfied with the summons
being dismissed. (Laughter.)
His Honour—No, I don't dismiss the matter at all. I
only defer the matter. I sha:l be very happy to hear you,
but it must be at the rising of the Court.

The market is very quiet for wheat and barley, and last

LIVERPOOL-TUESDAY.

At our market to-day there was a good attendance of the

an advance of ld to 2d per cental on the week. New Des
were again rather easier, and must be quoted id to 2d per
bushel under the currencies of last Friday. Best firiur
scarce; common lots were rather lower. Indian corn iu

We understand that the War Department has
issued tenders for the supply of more than. 100 east-
iron guns of varicus calibres, It is certainly strange that,
after having destroyed the furnaces and cut off all the means
of casting even experimental guns in the Royal Arsenal, and
having expended nearly three millions of money in building
up Armstrong breech-loaders, the War Department should
fall back upon the old cast iron weapons, and just as We
have found out that the 6t ton experimental smooth-bore
muzzle-leader, of Elswick manufacture, has not sufficient
power to breach armour-plates. Of what use, therefore,
can lighter guns of cast iron be ? The navy urgently re-
quires powerful muzzle-loading ordnance that will send
their shot through armour, but by a strange perversity the
War Department has awakened to the fact that the old
smooth-bore 68-pounder is more powerful than the Arm-
strong 110-pounder, and, quite oblivious that the ordnance
now wanted must be a considerable advance on the 68°
pounder, has now asked for a supply of these Old
weapons. Is our navy, we ask, always to be armed with
guns out of date? The best naval gunnery officers--
those who have most thoroughly gone into the subject--
unhesitatingly tell us that guns of at least 12 tons can be
worked upon the broadside, and we see, in the case of the
Federal ship Ironsides, guns of nearly 8 tons fired with such
quickness as to subdue the fire of Fort Moultrie and cover
the retreat of the Weehawken. How is it, we ask, that 110
steps are taken towards mounting such guns? and, more
important still, towards making them ? Guns we must have,
and cast-iron pieces like the American can only be made
out of a similar charcoal iron and after a long experience in
manufacture. We can, however, make good built-up guns
with steel tubes, and a number of these should be immedi-
ately put in hand, and Mr. Anderson, who is the practical

MARLBOROUGH-SrT2REET.

A MERCHANT CILARGED WITII ASSAULTING THE
POLICE —Mr. Wm. Phelan, a tall powerful-looking man,
described as a merchant, of Norwood, but staying in Mar-
garet-street, Cavendish•square, was charged before Mr.
Knox with the following violent conduct :

Police-constable Charles Walker, 62 E, said that on the
previous night, at a late hour, the defendant was turned out
of a public-house by the landlord, whom he assaulted.
Seeing the defendant was drunk, and as he was creating a
great disturbance and causing a large crowd of persons to
assemble, he (Walker), with the assistance of Sergeant
Outing, took him into custody, when he struck him
(Walker) on the head and on the breast, causing him still
to feel great pain, and also struck Sergeant Onting. While
on the way to the station the defendant turned round and
gave a female who was following him, and who he (Walker)
believed was the defendant's wife, a tremendous blow on the
head, knocking her down. At the station the defendant
continued his violent behaviour, and struck Inspector Gar-
forth, who took the charge, but was unable to attend.
Defendant, after stating that the female was not his wife,
attacked her character in a very unmanly manner, and con-
cluded by saying that if he had hurt the constable ho was
was very sorry, and hoped the constable would forgive him.
Mr. Knox made some very severe remarks on the defen-
dant's conduct, and fined him £5, or a month.
The defendant left the dock exclaiming-, " I have, got no
money, and for God's sake don't send me to prison. '

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

SPECULATING ON A HARD WINTERS-IN RE CULLEN.

This bankrupt was described as of Vine•cottages, Shep-
herd's-Lush, and Shepherd's-bush Railway Station, coal
merchant, and this was a minting for last examination and
discharge.
Mr. Sargood opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt
had not answered the requisitions by the assignees to the
satisfaction of Mr. Commissioner Fane,

Mr. Gardiner, clerk to Mr. Stansfeld, the official assignee,
reported that since then the bankrupt had given .fxplana-
tions, and there did nut appear to be any reason for further
adjournment.

Mr. E. Reed, for the bankrupt, attributed the failure to
the bankrupt having taken up last year a large contract for
coals and entered into sub-contracts with parties who were
speculating on a "hard winter,'' but it proved very mild, and
they did not complete their contracts, throwing the respon-
sicility on the bankrupt, but the opposing creditor refused
to absolve him, and brought an action against his father,
who had become his surety, and recovered the amount of
the bond, leaving the bankrupt £2OO behind, and he offered
to assign his property, but the application was rejected, and
was be compelled to come to the court.
His Honour granted an order of discharge.

GREEK BONDHOLDERS,

MEETING THIS DAY.
A public meeting of the Greek bondholders, con-
vened by the committee, was held to-day. Mr.
liaslewood, who occupied the chair, opened the
proceedings by stating that the meeting had been
called together to consider the present condition of
the holders of the loans of 1824 and 1825, He con-
gratulated them on the fact that their position had
changed for the better since he last had the honour
of addressing them in April, 1862. There were now
many doubts in the minds of the bondholders
which the committee were desirous to clear up,
and which it would be far their benefit to be ex-
plained. The committee had abstained from seek-
ing an interview with Ring George, now sojourning
in this country, because as a constitutional monarch
he could not reply to their address without consult-
ing his responsible minister, even were he conver.
Bent with the subject. Another reason for not
Presenting themselves to the King was, that Count
'SPenneck was not his Finance Minister, and
the seeking of the Count's opinion might place
him in an inNidious position, and bring down upon
him the adverse feeling of the parties in power at
Greece. The committee had a right to expect that
Nvhen the new Government was formed, after the
arrival of his Majesty at Athens, that the settle-
ment of the debts should claim priority of attention ;
and it that policy be followed, a Minister might
full powers
be despatched from Athens with
II Powers to treat upon the matter. The
bondholdersite had a right to believe in the
grity of the new Government, and to have
c.Conofidd et
Iliteene theirin . upright intentions. Mr. Hazle-
she wing ha:newed the various resources of Greece,
enabled to discby a judicious policy she would be
the position which her her debts, and place herself in
cancelled red boinch_ she was entitled to hold. The
blue to L50,0,,vin amounted to £250,000, and the
aerie QZ ewoo
Mr d concluded
by moving ,u°'
lug satisfaction that 8 'of resolutions, express-
the kingdom of Greece was
about to enter upon a
under King George, that the Constitutional
Government.
at the meeting perceived by
this event a sure guarantee for the payment of the
existing debts of the state, and
that the Govern-
ment would direct its earliest attention to their
liquidation, and that when the proper time arrived
the committee would undertake to make a fair pro-
posal for the discharge of the debt in a manner that
Should be consistent with the honour of Greece, and
With the just rights of the bondholders. M.
Iticardo corrected an erroneous impression that
portion of thepre -
'railed in some quarters that only a
mono contracted for had been received by the
agents of the Greek Government. The loan
amounted to £2,800,000,t he contracted price vas 55.

Mr. Parsons, of Brae eath, now , .
patics that Cap-
tain rasa has merely carried out the plans of
strengthening guns which he had
previously proposed to
the War-oface, and hence the success which the gallant
officer has obtained in lining a cast-iron 68-pounder with a
wrought-Sem tube. Without entering into the question of
Priority of invention, it seems to us that Mr. Parsons pro-
posed to line the breech of cast-iron guns, first removing
the breech, and then attaching it again by screw power ; at
least, such is what we gather from Mr. Parsons plates
and description. We believe such a plan would only ren-
der the gun weaker than before. To Captain Palliser be-
longs the merit of having successfully carried out what he
proposed, and thereby greatly increased the power of the
mud-iron 68-pounder to stand a heavy charge, the gun tubed
by him having withstood one-third more strain than any
uustrengthened cast-iron piece previously tested. We do not
however, believe in wrought-iron tubes, and doubt whether
our present cast-i:on ordnance would be sufficiently im-
proved to pay for the cost of tubing; but we do think that
Captain Palliser's plan might be advantageously em-
ployed in inserting tubes of steel tempered in oil, in the
numerous 70-pounders now, lying useless at Elswick and in
the Arsenal, and which, if converted into muzzle-loaders,
would become effleient weapons for the upper decks of our
despatch-vessels and wooden cruisers ; but should these be
suffered to remain rusting for another year or two, they,
like most of the cast-iron guns, will be out of date, and the
money already expended upon them lost to the country.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The total number of deaths registered in London in the
week that ended on Saturday was 1,258. The average num-
ber in the corresponding weeks of 10 years (1853-62), after
the omission of deaths from epidemic cholera in the 41st of
1654, and a correction for increase of population, becomes
1,126. The actual result exceeds the estimated number by
132.

Thirty •one deaths from smallpox were returned, and 146
from scarlatina; 16 fatal cases of the latter disease occurred
in Marylebone, 14 in Islington, 5 in the sub-district of
Whitecross-street, and 5 in that of St. Mary Magdalen,
Bermondsey.
A man died at the age of 96 years, a woman aged 77 years
died of elephantiasis, and a boy 5 years old from swallowing
a cherry stone.

We understand that the War Department has
issued tenders for the supply of more than 100 cast-
iron guns of varicus calibres, It is certainly strange that,
after having destroyed the furnaces and cut off all the means
of casting even experimental guns in the Royal Arsenal, and
having expended nearly three millions of money in building
up Armstrong breech-loaders, the War Department should
fall back upon the old cast iron weapons, and just as we
have found out that the 61 ton experimental smooth-bore
muzzle-leader, of Elswick manufacture, has not sufficient
power to breach armour-plates. Of what use, therefore/
can lighter guns of cast iron be ? The navy urgently re-
quires powerful muzzle-loading ordnance that will send
their shot through armour, but by a strange perversity the
War Department has awakened to the fact that the old
smooth-bore 68-pounder is more powerful than the Arm-
strong 110-pounder, and, quite oblivious that the ordnance
now wanted must be a considerable advance on the 68.
pounder, has now asked for a supply of these old
weapons. Is our navy, we ask, always to be armed with
guns out of date? The best naval gunnery officers—.
those who have moat thoroughly gone into the subject.—
unhesitatingly tell us that guns of at least 12 tons can be
worked upon the broadside, and we see, in the case of the
Federal ship Ironsides, guns of nearly 8 tons fired with 811411
quickness as to subdue the fire of Fort Moultrie and cover
the retreat of the Weehawken. How is it, we ask, that no
steps are taken towards mounting such guns ? and, more
important still, towards making them ? Guns we must have,
and cast-iron pieces like the American can only be made
out of a similar charcoal iron and after a long experience in
manufacture. We can, however, make good built-up guns
with steel tubes, and a number of these should be immedi-
ately put in hand, and Mr. Anderson, who is the practical
man in factories, should be held responsible for their being
in every respect fit for the naval service. Mr. Anderson hies
a great future before him, if he will only give naval men
what they loudly call for—a gun which will enable them to
go into action with a certainty of being as well armed as
any opponents with whom the chances of war may bring
them in contact. The Russians have a large squadron at
Now York, and their officers are not likely to throw their
winter away.—Army and IV avy Gazette;

JAPAN.

Commander McDougal,
of the Federal steamer
Wyoming, under date of Yokohama, Japan, July,
22d, officially reports an engagement between his
vessels and the land batteries, and three war ships
at Simosak, in the territory of the Prince of igagota.
The fire of the Wyoming sunk one, disabled another,
and drove off the third of the vessels, after which
the Wyoming withdrew, being herself considerably
injured in the contest. The Wyoming was struck
11 times, and had four men killed and seven
wounded. The attack by the Wyoming was in
consequence of an American merchant steamer
having been fired upon by vessels of the Prince of
Lgota.
Similar outrages had been committed upon both
British and French ships.
The French Admiral Juarez had sailed with his
flag-ship and a gunboat, for the purpose of punish-
ing the offenders.
