CRYSTAL PALACE.

The benefit of Mr. Strange, the purveyor-general
to her Majesty's lieges visiting the Crystal Palace,
was, we are rejoiced to say, a great and decided
success. Had it ben otherwise, it would have been
a very ungrateful return for the wonderful difficul-

ties Mr. Strange has to undergo in order to meet the
ever - varying demands upon the commissariat
department DI the Palace at Sydenham. Unlike
those necessarily made upon a large establishment,
where the number of visitors or residents can be
pretty nearly ascertained, the wants of the visitors
to the Crystal Palace can never be estimated and
provided for. The attendance is regulated
in a great measure by the weather, and
when that uncertainty is taken into con-
sideration, it is something surprising that the
tastes of thousands are so adequately supplied. Of
course there must be occasions when disappoint-
ments as to a favourite dish are to be met with, but
let those who have suffered under that inconve-
nience for one minute consider the ever-varying
number of visitors, and inconsiderate indeed must
be that person who is not eonvinced that the ar-
rangements of Mr. Strange are neither imperfect
nor parsimonious, because on some special occasion
a plate of salmon, or a dish of whitebait, is not to
be had by asking for. The visitor ought, before
coming to the conclusion that the arrange-
ments are bad, to consider the number of persons
present, not one of which has given M. Strange
the slightest ,notice of what he should like
for dinner. There is an old story about a number
of cockneys going on a pic-nic excursion, and when
each opened his provision basket it was found to
contain a solitary leg of lamb, but neither bread
nor salt. Of course the consternation under such
circumstances may be imagined; each would have
acted differently had he known his friend would
not have brought the bread. On the same rule Mr.
Strange, if he could correctly ascertain the number
requiring a certain dish, would most assuredly
amply provide for all. Our great surprise is, not
that we cannot always have salmon when we wish

• ___
;, but that the complaints, taking into considera-

tion the number of visitors, are so few. On the
occasion of Mr. Strange's benefit, however, there
was no room for complaint, both refreshments and
amusements were of the most unlimited character.
There were three military bands stationed in the
grounds, a grand organ performance, comic singing,
a grand concert of national melodies by 200 voices,
the brothers Stonette, the Elliotts in their elegant
ball-room entertainment, a balloon ascent, military
sports, the great fountains, and the performances of
Blondin on the low rope. At the termination of the
amusements the place and grounds were lit up with
coloured fires, and thus one of the greatest Wes of
the season was brought to a conclusion amidst a
blaze of triumph.

STATE OF TRADE,

DUNDEE. Sept. 15.—The demand for flax, tow,
and codilla was very languid today again, and few
transactions are reported. The better qualities hive
undergone little change in value, but the tendency
is in favour of the buyer. Common is irregular in
price, and can be bought lower than on last marls:et.
The recent fall in prices in the Baltic ports has in-
dueed more free on board business, and there is sill
much offering out. Jute in good request, and very
saleable, at a small advance, but the market not vvell
supplied with suitable qualities. To-day there wee
great animation in yarns and linens. A large busir tees
done in them. Flax and tow yarns were much
wanted, and higher prices freely paid for theta for
delivery months hence. The American advices re-
port less doing in linens, owing to the great ad-
vance in the exchange, but buyers here continue to
operate. extensively, having confidence in the 15ta-
Witty of that market. The demand for other foreign
markets continues excellent.
LEICESTER, Sept. 16.—There is a good deal of
activity in the hosiery trade. Regular goods meet a
good sale, and there is yet a fair demand for fancy
hosiery. Manufacturers hold busy with orders on
hand. In the rural districts business is without
much change. The yarn-market is firm, and there
is a fair demand for material, very high prices
being made. Wools are selling at late rates.
NOTTINGHAM, Sept. IG.—There is little if any
more doing in cotton-lace goods this week than
last. It is usually a quiet period of the year, and
the present season is no exception. There are home
small orders for Mechlin quiltings in the market,
and a few plain nets are finishing, otherwise very
little is doing in cotton fabrics. The silk-lace trade
is rather quiet. Yarns continue exceedingly dear,
and the market remains very firm.

One of the moat
singular questions which has ever

cided in a few days. The history of the Imperial
House presents no analogous case. An Archduke

in which, according to the domestic regulation of the
Imperial P

a distant country a throne which has yet to be founded,
which has been won by foreign arms, and to the
support of which Austria, with all her military
power, cannot in any way contribute. It is an
absolute fact that the Emperor of the French is the
only serious protector of that throne. Nor is it less
certain that, whatever Prince may occupy it, ho will
be obliged to govern, to a certain extent, in con•
fortuity with French interests. Protected by a
French garrison and deriving his resources from a
French loan, what a position for a new Emperor!
From all these considerations, it is probable—v e
wish we could say it is certain—that the Mexican
deputation will not Succeed in persuading an Aus

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.

A grazier of Pomerania has communicated to the
School of Medicine at Berlin a method of his for

preserving horned cattle from the contagious typhus
fever which, a few years ago, caused such uneasi-

ness to agriculturists in Germany. It consists in
inoculating the animals with the saliva of a subject
labouring under the disease, by making an incision
somewhat less than an inch in length on the inner
side of the thigh.—The attention of medical men
both in England and France has of late been drawn
to the ill effects resulting from the habit of reading
while travelling by rail. Dr. Legrand de Saulle
remarks that reading under such circumstances is
extremely fatiguing to the eyes, owing to the
jolting of the vehicle, and that this fatiguein-
duces headache, and often orbitary pains round
the eyes, with a slight congestion of the retina,
which, when the habit has become regular and in-
veterate, and the subject is advanced in age, may in
the end determine a real congestion of the brain.—
The Antwerp Journal states that perchloride of iron
combined with collodion is a good haemostatic in
the case of wounds, the bites of leeches, &o. To
prepare it,one part of crystallised perchloride of iron
is mixed with six parts of collodion. The perchloride
of iron should be added gradually aad with care;
otherwise such a quantity of heat will be generated
as to cause the collodion to boil. The composition
when well made, is of a yellowish red, per-
fectly limpid, and produces on the skin a
yellow pellicle, which retains great elasticity.—
Pouring cold water on the face and head appears
to be a good remedy in cases of poisoning by narco-
tics. A young woman a few days ago accidentally
swallowed six drachms of a mixture of laudanum
and chloroform with some hydrocyanic acid in. She
immediately vomited a portion of the liquid, and
then fell down in a state of coma. Professor Harley
being called in, he administered hot coffee and nitric
ether, and proceeded to effect artificial respiration.
No great improvement was perceptible; but on the
application of cold water to the forehead the effect
was magical. The patient began to breathe more
freely, and she lost some blood from the nose. As
soon as the effusion of cold water ceased, the coma
returned, and was again removed by renewing the
effusion ; the patient soon moved her arms and legs,
and seemed anxious to avoid the stream of water,
as if it caused her pain. This treatment was re-
newed by intervals until the following day ;
and after the lapse of 60 hours, all distressing
symptoms disappeared completely.

HEALTH OP LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly ll,ettern)
The deaths in London in the week that ended last Sa-
turcly were 1,`457. The average uumber of deaths in the
37th week of each of the 10 years, 1853.62, becomes 1,158,
when deaths from cholera in 1851 are excluded from the cal-
culation, and a correction made for increase of population.
The deaths in last week were about 100 in excess of the

estimated number.
The mortality from smallpox is now greatly reduced, the
deaths from it in the last three weeks having been 31, 29,
and 23 re,pectively. The deaths from diarrhoea, which
reached 233 in the third week of July, have fallen to 93, as
shown in the present return. Scarlatina is at the present
time the most formidable of the epidemic diseases ; it was
fatal in 124 cases in the week, while measles was returned
in only 7 cases.

There were 4 deaths from scarlatina in Kensington-town
sub-district, 4 in Kentish-town,? in Islington, 9 in Bethnal-
green district, 9 in Whitecliapel, 4 in Poplar, and 11 in

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

About an average supply of beasts was on sale here to-
day, in but middling condition. Good and prime breeds
moved off steadily at fully Monday's currency ; otherwise,
the beef trade ruled inactive at, that day's rates. The sup-
ply of sheep was only moderate. However, the trade was
less active than on Monday, yet previous quotations were
well supported. The show of calves was moderately good,
and the demand ruled inactive at about previous rates.
Sucking calves changed hands at very full prices. Pigs
met a slow sale on former terms. The top price of beef was

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 17, 1863.

An Old East India Company'd officer, travelling

recently over the desolated and ensanguined battle-

fields of this protracted insurrection in Russian

Poland, has, naturally enough, deduced from the
mere fact of its long continuance, of this inter-

minable lengthening out of the insurrection—one

alternative.

This alternative he has to-day very

lucidly put, through the medium of a very manly.

outspoken communication to our contemporary the

Morning Post. Either, he insists, the insurrection

of the Po-Les is much more powerful, is much more

popular than it is said to be—Or the Russian army,

now opposed to the insurgents, has fearfully dege•
nerated since the days of the Crimean War ! Those

are the horns of the dilemma, between which, this
intelligent, travelling Englishman, himself a
veteran of the Old East India Company's
service, has placed every apologist of the

Russian Autocracy, every believer in the integrity o,

the Muscovite power, every vindicator of the policy

maintained, under various phases or aspects, at the
point of the sword, at the thongs of the knout, at
the muzzle of the rifle, by the Despotic House of

ROMANOFF. And the one fligrant and undeniable
fact to which this Old Officer directs attention, we

do certainly think, speaks quite plainly for itself—
opeaks not only quite plainly, but trumpet-tongued

The progress of toleration daring the last few

The Aissa-Outra, one of the most fanatic sects
of Islamism, have just celebrated at Algiers the
anniversary of the birch of Mahomet. The scene was a
very exciting one. Some of them applied their tongues to
hot iron; others performed the exercise of the trapeze on
very sharp sabre blades; others ate scorpions or plunged
sharp pieces of iron into their eyes and made them start
from their orbits, and some enthusiasts capped all these
performances by swallowing the most prickly leaves of the
cactus. Serpent charmers also exercised their calling; they
made necklaces and bracelets of those reptiles, irritated
them, and then calmed them by playing on the flute, thus
rendering them so tame that they went into the men's
mouths without king and injury,

THAMES.

AT TILE WRONG STATION.-Hugh Barnes, a Lancashire
workman; was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting S. Whistler,
ticket collector at the Shadwell station of the Blackwall
Railway.

The complainant stated that the prisoner came to the
Shad well station yesterday afternoon with a Poplar ticket
for Gravesend. He told the prisoner he must go back to
Poplar, and could not proceed to Gravesend with that
ticket. The prisoner, who was very drunk, attempted to
go up stairs, and to prevent his fulling into danger, he
stopped him, and said he could Lot be allowed to go

on the platform and endanger his life. The prisoner
said he would go where he liked, and insisted on proceeding
up stairs. He laid hold of the prisoner and pulled him
back, on which he seized him by the coat, which he tore.
A. tailor said the repairs would cost ss. The witness, who
wore the torn coat, pointed to a large rent under the right
arm and another in front of the coat.
In answer to Mr. Partridge, the witness said titat a ticket
paid for at Poplar would not entitle a man to travel to
Gravesend from Shadwell.
Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, said the Shadwell station
was a mile and a quarter nearer London than Poplar.
Wh:stier said the prisoner must have walked from Poplar
to Shadwell, and did not come up by rail. The ticket was
inscribed "Poplar to Gravesend—second class."
The prisoner made a rambling defence, and said he was
a hard-working man, and thought it very hard, after he
had paid his fare, that he could not proceed to his destina-
tion.

Mr. Partridge said there was no hardship in the case.
The prisoner was not entitled to leave Shadwell for Graves-
end with a Poplar ticket ; and if he was, it was the bounden
duty of railway companies and their servants to prevent
drunken men or women travelling on their lines under any
pretence whatever. The complainant had acted most pro-
perly and discreetly. He fined the prisoner Is., and ss, in
addition for the damage done to the coat.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 17.
" We," says the Patrie," have already announced
that the European Commission, formed for the
purpose of deciding on the improvements to be
made at the mouths of the Danube, and particularly
in the St. George's Channel, had forwarded the
result cf their deliberations to their respective
Governments. A letter from Constantinople states
that the Porte has declared against the improve
ments propo3ed, on the plea of the great outlay they
would entail on the Ottoman treasury."
A letter from Biarritz, in the Sport, mentions

that on the arrival of the Emperor at night, his

Majesty passed through a double line of visitors,
and the population, headed by the mayor and cure,
each person holding a torch in his hand. Tt►e
honours of the reception once paid, the residents
and bathers have, with commendable good taste,
since allowed his Majesty to enjoy the repose
and privacy which his object in visiting Biarritz
is to obtain. At the first ball which took place on
Monday at the Villa Eugenie, the Empress was as
usual attired with elegant simplicity; her Majesty's
dress consisting of a white muslin dress with a
light blue sash, and ber hair bound with a diadem
of ribbon of the same colour. The Cotillion, led as
usual by the Marquis de Cans, terminates the fete
at midnight. Refreshments are handed round by
a young Egyptian in his native dress.
A detachment of 300 men belonging to the 51st
of the Line is about to leave Angers to embark for
Mexico to join the rest of the regiment.
A series of experiments are shortly to take place
at the Ile-d'Aix, with rifled cannon of different
calibres under the direction of Colonel Lie lot. Two
batteries from La IL.chelle and Nantes have pro-
ceeded to the Ile, where 12 Generals of Division
and of Brigade will assemble to superintend the
experiments.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
About an average supply of beasts was on sale here to-
day, in but middling condition. Good and prime breeds
moved off steadily at fully Monday's currency ; otherwise,
the beef trade ruled inactive at that day's rates. The sup-
ply of sheep was only moderate. However, the trade was
less active than on Monday, yet previous quotations were
well supported. The show of calves was moderately ood
and the demand ruled inactive at about previous
rates. Sucking calves changed hands at very full prices. Pigs
met a slow sale on former terms. The top price of beef was
5s ; of mutton, 5s 4d ; of veal, 4s 8d ; and of pork, 4s 6d

WESTMINSTER.

ESCAPING CliElpLy.—Jane Frond, a respectable-looking
woman, was charged with assaulting and wounding John
Miller.

The prosecutor, who was wounded over the left eye and
in the hand, said that he met the prisoner's husband last
night at Chelsea, and they had some words about a small
sum of money which one owed the other. At length the
dispute ended in a scuffle taking place between them, in the
course of which the prisoner advanced towards him with a
jug in her hand, and struck prosecutor a blow on the eye
and a second on the hand. The blows were given with
such force that the jug was broken to pieces.
Prisoner said that prosecutor was striking her husband
at the time, and she threw the jug, but did not strike in the
mode described,

Prosecutor declared that no blow had been struck between
them.

George Shakespeare said he was present. He heard
Miller ask about come money which, it was said, was owing
and the men closed, and were having a scuffle, when pri-
soner broke the jug over his head as described. He was
wounded, and bled a pint and a half. He was taken to a
doctor's and had his head dressed, but it bled even while he
was at the station.
Police-constable Turnbull, 61 B, said he was fetched by
the prisoner, who wanted to give the prosecutor into cus-
tody, but finding the injury he had received Witness took
him.

Mr. Selfe asked prosecutor whether he would take com-
pensation ?

Prosecutor said he would; he had no wish to press the
matter against the accused, as she had a large family.
Prisoner's husband wanted a summons against prosecu•
tor for assaulting him.
Mr. Selfe said he could not grant that after his wife had
attacked prosecutor this way. To clear the score of is 10d
between them and the injury, prisoner must pay pro-
secutor 7a.

GERMANY AND DENMARK.

A letter from Frankfort, in the Botschafter, data
the 9th inst., aays :—" I am enabled to give you the
information that Austria has made a positive decla-
ration, as regards Federal execution in Holstein, to
all the Great Powers—to France, Russia, and Eng-
land, especially to the latter, that the Dano-German
question must be settled, and that Federal execu-
tion has become indispensable if Denmark should
persist in her resistance, no matter what the con-
sequences may be. The language of Austria is
very decided, and has not been modified by the
objections which the Great Powers—especially
England, have made. Austria has declared, in a
straightforward manner, that it rests with the
Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent armed intervention,
that Denmark, not Germany, must give in."
A letter from Hanover, dated 9th September,
says :-" I am able to inform you, from an au-
thentic source, that preparations are being made
in our military circles for carrying out Federal
execution in Schleswig and Holstein, and it will
very shortly take place, despite the attempts of
mediation which have been made since the recep-
tion of the last Danish note."

A letter from Copenhagen, dated 7th September,
says :—" The Swedish Minister M. de Mander-
stroem, has left our city, after having held long
conferences both here and at Malmoe, with H.
Hall, at which the English Ambassador was pre-
sent. In these conferences the details of an offen-
sive and defensive alliance between Sweden and
Denmark were settled. Although this alliance is
an accomplished fact, it is still wanting in one point.
The reciprocal signatures have not yet been put to
it. This is not without importance. I can tell you
from a reliable source that they will not be put until
Federal execution shall have actually commenced.
Military preparations are going on actively. Two
more ships of war have left for Flensburg."
The Constitutionnel has the following Will
the Federal Diet have recourse to arms ? This is
the question which is now under ditcussion at
Frank tort, at Berlin, and at Vienna. In a few
days the political and military reports will be
ready which have been ordered by the Met. lie
doubt, however, whether any active Meabtlie% Will
be taken at once."

PARIS, SEPT. 17.
"We." says the Patrie, " have already announced
that the European Commission, formed for the
purpose of deciding on the improvements to be
made at the mouths of the Danube, and particularly
in the St. George's Channel, had forwarded the
result cf their deliberations to their respective
Governments. A letter from Constantinople states
that the Porte has declared against the improve
ments proposed, on the plea of the great outlay they
would entail on the Ottoman treasury."
A letter from Biarritz, in the Sport, mentions
that on the arrival of the Emperor at night, his
Majesty passed through a double line of visitors,
and the population, headed by the mayor and cure,
each person holding a torch in his hand. The
honours of the reception once paid, the residents
and bathers have, with commendable good taste,
since allowed his Majesty to enjoy the repose
and privacy which his object in visiting Biarritz
is to obtain. At the first ball which took place on
Monday at the Villa Eugenie, the Empress was as
usual attired with elegant simplicity ; her Majesty's
dress consisting of
a white muslin dress with a
light blue sash, and her hair bound with a diadem
of ribbon of the same colour. The Cotillion, led as
usual by the Marquis de Caux, terminates the fete
at midnight. Refreshments are handed round by
a young Egyptian in his native dress.

A detachment of 300 men belonging to the 51st
of the Line is about to leave Angers to embark for
Mexico to join the rest of the regiment.
A series of experiments are 4hortly to take place
at the Ile-d'Aix, with rifled cannon of different
calibres under the direction of Colonel Lie lot. Two
batteries from La Rochelle and Nantes have pro-
ceeded to the Ile, Where 12 Generals of Division
and of Brigade will assemble to superintend the
experiments.

the Germanic Confederation with regard to Poland
are equally undeserving of notice. The Germanic
Confederation entertains no aggressive designs
against her neighbours."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals publish the text of the
manifesto issued by the Spanish Progressistas, in

favour of abstention during the approaching
elections. " This document," says the Temps,
"appears more important from the authority of
its signature, among which are the names of MM.
Olozaga, Madoz, Calvo Asensio, and Count de
Reuss, than the strength of the arguments it
contains. Under the pretext that they are deprived
of the right of meeting, its authors declare their
intention of withdrawing to their tents until the
time when liberty shall triumph. But liberty is
not a divinity which intervenes at any given
moment, and her advent is not likely to be
promoted by holding aloof."

AUSTRALIA.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday.
The ship Anglesey, 1,018 tons, Captain M. H.

from Melbourne June 9, has passed up channel,

VERY STRANGE.—The extraordinary facilities
for locomotion in the present day are the cause of strange
sights. Only the day before yesterday, at a quarter-past
four, we saw Bolt-court running into Fleet-street I—Fun.
The Aissa-Outra, one of the most fanatic sects
of Islamism, have just celebrated at Algiers the
anniversary of the birih of Mehemet. The scene was a
very exciting one. Some of them applied their tongues to
hot iron; others performed the exercise of the trapeze on
very sharp sabre blades; others ate scorpions or plunged
sharp pieces of iron into their eyes and made them start
from their orbits, and some enthusiasts capped all these
performances by swallowing the most prickly leaves of the
cactus. Serpent charmers also exercised their calling ; they
made necklaces and bracelets of those reptiles, irritated
them, and then calmed them by playing on the flute, thus
rendering them E 0 lame that they went into the men's
mouths without doing an) injury.

A portion of a Roman road has just been dis-
covered at Trier by some men engaged in digging a cellar.
It is six feet below the surface; its upper stratum is com-
posed of very hard pebbles laid down three feet deep, and
resting= blocks of limestone.

A Dijon journal states that an old man, named
Golot, who was born in January, 1757, passed
through that town last week on his way to Bour-
bonne-les-Bain. Notwithstanding his 106 years,
the gallant old man is in the enjoyment of excel.
lent health and walks well without the help of a
stick. The old man has a wife of the name age
h►ct;telf.
