KEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY-
ING POWDER, for which a Prize Medal was awarded
to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862,
This Powder is quite harmless to animal life, but is un-
rivalled in destroying Fleas, Buf.,;s, Flies, Cockroaches
Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, ftioths in furs, and every other
species of Insect.
Sportsmen will find this an invaluable remedy for destroy-
ing Fleas in their Dogs, as also Ladies for their Pet Dogs
Being the original importer of this now invaluable article,
which has found so great a sale that it has tempted others to
vend a so-called article, the public are therefore cautioned to
observe that the packets of the Genuine Powder bear the

lating to Justice, the later- to Legislation. Three
chapters make up the third -Book : the first having
regard to the Home DepEs.rtment ; the second to
Foreign Affairs, as well as to the Army and Navy;
the third to oar Financial sys.te m. Finally three chap-
ters are the subdivisions of thi 3 fourth book—having
reference, the first to countierkthe second to parishes,
the third to municipalities. Having recounted
all which, the scheme of th.o whole treatise may
now very readily be comprehended. And it is
tcortk comprehending when it comes to be
examined into—we hardly know which we
would say by preference, whether of more
worth in France or in England. Through
it, the English reader;may leax n, with advantage to
himself, how magnanimously and appreciatively a
truly liberal-minded Frenchman can survey the
whole complicated fabric of our English Institu-
tions. Through it, moreover, the French reader
may learn, with advantage to himself, how
much real liberty is fostered here in England
under cur political, judicial, and administrative
institutions—as the reigning Emperor, his Majesty
Napoleon 111., took bccasic,n to remark hardly
twelve months ago, when pronouncing a panegyric
upon our English institutions in words that M. de
Franqueville has, in this book of his, unconsciously,
it may be, but most effectively enforced—words
that (some of them at least) even M. de IVlontalem-
bert himself might have articulated as the cham-
pion of true Liberty and the admirer of a strictly
Constitutional form of government.

The Money Market continues without the
slightest alteration of moment, either as regards the
demand or the terms upon which it is met. The
best three months' bills are charged 3i 4 per cent.,
and the Bank of England authorities, who keep
their minimum at 4 per cent., are obtaining a fair
Share of the current business.

A further sum of £40,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday. _ _

These returns are in some instances of an unsatis-

is a decrease of £1,703, on the South Western of
£B2O, on the Brighton of £1,711, on the South
Eastern of £284, and on the Great Northern of

of £BO3, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £2,638,
the North Eastern of £3,120, and the North British
of £786.

A special meeting of the shareholders of the
City Club Company was held to day, for the pur
pose of passing a resolution empowering the capital
to be increased by £O,OOO. Mr. J. T. King occu-
pied the chair, and stated that the preliminary
arrangements had all been completed, that the
site had been obtained and a plan of the building
decided upon. The club when finished would afford
great comfort and convenience to its members, and
the only difficulty which the directors anticipated
was to admit all the applicants. The directors
expected that about £25,000 of the 150,000 now
Proposed to be raised would be opened, and the
retnaining half left as a guarantee for credit, &c.
,
ecessary resolutions were carried.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the 3 per Cent. Routes were at 67f. 80c.
The progress of business in the English Stock

ture of interest, the limited number of transactions
recorded having led to scarcely any alteration,
Consols being 931 ---: for money, and 93y for the

THE ARMY.

Orders were yesterday received at Portsmouth
for the 55th (Westmoreland) Regiment, stationed
in Portsmouth garrison, under the command of
Lieut.-Col. Robert Hume, to increase its numbers to
the customary standard for foreign service by volun-
teers from other corps, and to be held in readiness
for immediate embarcation for India.

The "K" Battery of Armstrong field artillery,
under the command of Major Barstow, stationed at
Hilsea, near Portsmouth, yesterday received orders
to prepare for immediate marching from thence by
road to Woolwich, to embark for foreign service,
reported for New Zaaland.

Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding
Portsmouth garrison and the South-Western Mili-
tary District, will to-day officially inspect on South-
sea common the 6th and ith brigades of Garrison
Artillery, the I and K batteries of field artillery of
the 4th brigade, and the Royal Marine Artillery.
A detachment of troops, from various regiments,
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Parkhurst,
Isle of Wight, and were forwarded on to Woolwich,
by the military authorities, to embark in the ship
Chariot of Fame, for conveyance to New Zealand.
An experimental 300-pounder Armstrong gun,
manufactured at the E!swick factory, was yesterday
landed from the barge Henry on the wharf in Wool-
wich Arsenal, from Shoeburyness. The weight of
the gun is 11 tons 14ewt. 3qrs., and from the name
" Excellent" painted upon it, the inference is that it
is intended for practice on board the gunnery ship
at Portsmouth. The gun was fired nine times only,
and at the termination a very perceptible defect was
discovery in the chase, about 10in, from the muzzle.
The officials were yesterday engaged in taking an
impression of the interior of the gun in gutta
percha, and the defect was clearly marked thereon.
It consists of a separation of the coils, forced
asunder by the concussion, and is accounted for
by an imperfect welding together. No other part
of the gun bears any symptom of injury. It appears
that some of the 12-pounders have coffered iu

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

(REUTEIt'S TELEGRAMS.)

WARSAW, Sept. 20.

Since the execution of the decrees relative to tho
closing of houses and the collection of the
taxes, the police authorities have paused
in their system of reprisals. Domici-
liary visits and arrests, however, continue
without intermission. Meanwhile the Russian
Government appear to be intent upon gradually
dismissing all high Polish officials from the ser-
vice of the State, and filling up the vacancies
with Russians mostly military men.
The following imperial ukase granting unlimited
leave of absence to the Marquis Wielopolski was
published in the Dzzennik of yesterday :
.‘ We Alexander 11., Emperor and Autocrat of all the
Russias, :King of Poland, &c. Whereas at his own re-
quest we have granted to Count Wielopolski, Marquis
Myskowski, Chief of the Civil Administration in the
Kingdom of Poland, unlimited leave of absence
abroad, we do by the presents release him from the above
functions, as weal as from the office of Vice-President of
the State Council of the Kingdom of Poland.'

M. Nestor Roqueplen, the theatrieal critic of the
Constitutionnel, has the following remarks in his
last feuilleton :
" Here we have another feat which has its merit
—an Englishman playing a French vaudeville at
the Varieties. The French vaudeville is bad, the
English actor excellent ; at the first representation
a part of the public hissed the piece. The hissers
were but clumsy ; the experienced and delicate
hissers of the Odeon would not have failed to treat
the foreign actor handsomely, and to detach him
from the piece to which he puts his name, and
which may have been originally good, but spoiled '
by some subsequent patching. However that may
be, the English press testifies a good deal of
ili-
humour at the reception given to Mr. Mathews, a
charming and distinguished artist, who takes his
Place on the same line with our most subtle and
celebrated comic actors. The English papers are
right, for it would be impossible to say with what
refinement of hospitality our artists are received in
London. At this very moment some French de-
serters are there, murdering the English language
at a rate that might well make the three kingdoms
tremble; they, are, nevertheless, listened to and
encouraged by a polite public, which seems as if
grateful for the efforts made to please it. If the
conduct of our hissers has been taken amiss, on the
other hand it has done no harm, and Mathews is
drawing crowded houses. The Anglais Timide has
resumed upon the bills the rank of which the
theatre had thought it right at first to dispossess it.
The reparation comes, then, entirely from the
public, which of its own free will adds an adjective
to the title of the piece, and calls it, `l'Anylais
tinzide et applaudi.'"

Upon this-the Times' Paris correspondent remarks
as follows :—I know not what part of the English
press was angry at Mr. Mathews's reception, or
imagined there was shown to him on ac-
count of his being a foreigner, but nobody who was
present at his first performance at the Varieties
could fairly have said that such was the case. A
few persons—" fastidious outsiders," (mil of the
Paris papers called them—hissed and shuffled with
their feet, but their dissatisfaction was manifestly
with the piece, and not with the actor. In its
French garb the little farce was too long, and hung
fire; it was cut down between the first and second
performances, and has gone well ever since.

LEWES SHEEP FAlR.—This annual fair, which 10
the largest and most important of this description
held in the county of Sussex, took place on Monday on the
Downs overlooking the town of Lewes, and brought together
a large concourse of persons bent on business and pleasure.
The average number of sheep sent to this fair for some years
back has been about 30,000, on one occasion recently the
number having been 36,000; but this year, owing to a variety
of causes, the supply fell considerably short of this, only
24,000 being penned. For the most part, however, the
sheep were in first-rate condition. There was a Large at'
tendanco of fiockmasters from all parts of the county, be-
sides many dealers who had come from distant grazing dis-
tricts. At the commencement of the fair rather stiff prices
were asked by the sellers, which had the effect of check-
ing sales to some extent, as the purchasers had evidently
made up their minds to act with caution. Finding
it of no use, however, the buyers gave way, and a large
number of sheep changed hands at a comparatively high
figure. The prices for ewes, in which a brisk trade was
done, varied from 30e. to 475. 6d., although one exceptional
lot was purchased so low as 275, per head. Lambs were in
great request, and commanded higher prices than have been
obtained at this fair for ten years previously, they ranging
from 245. to 365. each. There was a good supply of ram!
for letting and hire, for which the demand was active, asa
they moved off at prices ranging from 9 to 15 gulag{ per
head. There was a tolerably fair supply of lean stock arid
horses, but they did not appear to bo much in request. A
drove of about 100 Irish heifers met with a ready sale, at
prices averaging about ten guineas each. Several smart
showers of rain fell during the day, but this did not inter-
fere with business to any material extent.
