FRANCE.

The Greek residents of Marseilles have just been
engaged in electing a deputy to represent them
in the Constituent Assembly at Athens. The elec-
tion took place at the Greek Consulate, and termi-
nated in favour of M. Constantine Melas, a partner
in the firm of Melas Brothers, who have long been
established at Marseilles. Before M. Melas came
to France he held a high post in the magistracy
of Athens. He leaves Marseilles at once for Athens.
The information," says the Patrie, " which we
receive from Turin enables us to affirm that the
majority in the Parliament are quite in accord
with the new ministry on the necessity of giving
a certain pause to the Roman question. They are
of opinion that it will be advisable not to put
forward for some time any new base of negotiation
either at the Tuileries or at the Pontifical Court."
The gicinese Gazette announces that the treaty
concerning the dioceses which lie partly in Italy
and partly in the cantons of Ticino and the Grisons,
has just been signed at Turin, and is now to be sub-
mitted to those cantons for ratification.

The Popular Science Review.

" The British Oak," by Professor James Backman,
is a disquisition on the varieties of that time-
honoured tree found in this island. Of these
there are three, differing slightly in general
form as well as shape of leaf, and the writer then
proceeds to describe the ravages of a new kind of
gall insect, " which, instead of attacking the backs
of the leaves, as does the oak-leaf gall, occupies the
stem that belongs to the leaf;" thus, no new twigs
can be formed, and " Trees thus infested are crip-
pled as though they had been subjected to constant
pruning." E. R. Lankester contributes E. paper on
the " Red Worm of our Rivers!' Dr. J. L. Phip-
son writes on the " Ancient and Modern use of
Anaesthetics," and there is at:Onteresting account,
by the Editor, of a " Visit to Barmouth and its
Neighbourhood." The remaining contents comprise
" The Eleetro Plating Process," " Notes of the Ex-
hibition," Miscellanea, Reviews, and a Scientific
summary.

A very readable article on " Denmark, Holstein,

this month. In " Colossal Vestiges" we find a re-
view of a work, by Mr. Linton, on the gigantic
architectural remains found in different parts of the
globe. "The Shadow of Ashlydyat" and " Gran;
ville de Vigne," are still in progress. Sir Nathaniel
has chosen " Mahomet" as his theme, and the
"Reminiscences of Cairo" will be found amusing-

MITE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.—
Roman
Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the
empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded
resistance ; and this effeminacy hey trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the' siatic provinces of Turxey.

The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the early deatlif!,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailment, and the matri-
monial discords and s-andals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form su li a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their
warmest hopes of rest ffation to life's prerogatives fully
realised.
Dr. L A'MERT, M.D., has been engaged for 20 years in the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on "Self-Pre-
servation" describes how all the attributes of Manhood are

BOROUGH HOP:

The show of good and fine new hops is very moderate,
and the trade for them rules firm at extreme rates. Inferior
qualities, however, with which the market is well supOied,
are a dull inquiry, at drooping prices.

also, the dealings have been limited, at about previous rates.
COFFEE—FuII rates are current for the better descrip-

is little alteration to report in prices.

CAPTURE or HOUSEBREABERS.—WiIIiam Taylor and
John Smith, powerful young men, were placed at the bar
charged with burglariously breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of a lady named Fizabrasac, in Gloucester-
terrace, Pimlico.

Hannah Russell, servant at the' house, said—At seven
last evening I was in a room at the top of the house, and
I suddenly heard an opening and shutting of drawers in
the next apartment. I immediately came down stairs and
procured assistance.

George Barker, 25, Gloucester-terrace, said—At a little
before 8 last night the last witness rushed into the house,
and saying that there were thieves in her mistress's
house, requested some men to come in. I went in, followed
by the servant, and hastened up staire to the front attic,
where I saw the prisoners getting out of the window. I
immediately shut the room door and ran down stairs in
order to prevent their escape. There are three newly built
and unfinished houses close to the house where I found the
prisoners, and I thought they would descend there and
endeavour to escape in that direction. Suddenly I saw a
ladder move and I immediately threw it down. I then heard
a noise of the removal of boards, and shortly afterwards I
found the prisoners had placed them in the area, to enable
them by climbing up the brick work to reach the street.
They then came up and separated, but were followed and
taken into custody.

A number of housebreaking tools found on the roof wore
produced. The di awers had all been thrown open, but the
thieves were disturbed before they had time to tie anything
up.

Michael John Shane, a detective of the B division, said
he knew Smith as the associate of thieves and had no doubt
that both prisoners were ticket-of-leave men.
Mr. Payuter said he should at once commit them for
trial, and ordered the depositions to be prepared.

SOUTHWARK.

BOBBING A MASTER AND SELLING TEE GOODS TO
HIM.—SINGULAR CASE,-Wm. Northwood, warehouse-
man, in the employ of Messrs. Surnett, wool merchants,
Castle-street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Maude,
charged with stealing a quantity of valuable wool, and
Clara Sewell, and Mary Ann Bartlett were charged with
receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Robert Surnett, one of the partners, said that yes-
terday morning, while he was in the shop, at 48, Castle-
street, Bartlett brought in a bag of clean wool, and offered
it to him for sale. He examined it, and asked
her where she got it from, when she replied
that her brother hat brought it from Jersey.
Believing her story, and having no suspicion, he gave her
five shillings for it. She then said she had some of a
darker colour at home, and asked if he would purchase that.
He replied that he would if it suited him. In the evening
the same person brought a large bag containing dark coloured
wool, which, on examination, he at once perceived was his
property, as it was coloured by them, and no other person in
the trade had any like it. He questioned her further about
it, when she said it was all a story about her brother at
Jersey, and that she received the wool from Northwood, who
told her it was part of his perquisites, being the sweepings
of the warehouse which they had recently removed wool
from. She also said that Sewell gave her the white wool
to sell. Witness called in the police, and gave all the pri-
soners into custody.
In ar•swer to Mr. Maude, witness said that for the last
two months he had missed wool in a very mysterious man-
ner, but he had no suspicion of Northwood prior to this.
Mr. Maude asked if he allowed any perquisites such as
sweepings ?
Witness replied in the negative. He asked for a remand
to enable him to ascertain where the other wool had been
sold.

The prisoners, who made a rambling statement, were re-
manded until Wednesday next.

NORTH WALSHAM AG.RICUL7U.RAL

SOCIETY.

NORTH WALSHAM, OCT. 9.

The annual meeting of this society was held last
ev3ning in this pleasant little Norfolk town, Lord
Suffield presiding. It was expected that the pro-

ceedings would have been enlivened with a speech
from Lord Wodehouse, late Under-Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, but the noble lord's other engage-
ments prevented his attendance. Among those pre-
sent, however, were Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Mr. C.
Buxton, M,P., Sir H. Robinson, Major-General

Windham, Admiral the Hon. E. T. Wodehouse,
Capt. Windham, R.N., the Hon. W. R. Rous, the
Hon. W. Harbord, &c.

The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed
from the chair and warmly responded to.
Admiral WODEHOUSE replied on behalf of the
navy.

Major-General WINDHAM, in replying for the
army, observed that as a soldier he had always felt
proud in having his name coupled with the volun-
teers. Many gentlemen present would no doubt

711 E ARMY.

Major-Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., accompanied
by Col. Sir David Wood, commanding the Horse
Brigade, Royal Artillery, at Woolwich, and Major
Reilly, C. 8., the General's aide-de-camp, yesterday
inspected the division of Royal Marines on Wool-
wich-common. The whole of the available division,
which consists of 1,700 men, now ashore was drawn
out in review order, in command of Col. Mitchell,
commandant, and, having received the General on
the ground, they were minutely inspected. On the
General retiring to the front they marched past in
open columns in slow time, and afterwards in grand
divisions in quick time. They again fell into line,
when the General ordered the junior Lieut.-Colonel
(Sather) to put the battalion through a variety of
manoeuvres. After a series of volley firing and some
light infantry movements (the General repeatedly
commending the efficiency of their drill), they were
dismissed to quarters. The parade was then closed
to the general public, and the divisional court-
martial orders were read by the field Adjt., Lieut.
Mitchell. Gen. Dacres having, in the meantime,
transacted some official affairs at the head-quarters
of the Royal Artillery, proceeded to an inspection
of the Royal Marine Infirmary, and in the evening,
accompanied by the garrison staff, he was enter-
tained at a banquet in the mess-room of the Royal
Marines.

THAMES.

DARING thanWAY ROBBERY.--William Jones, a strong
and powerful man, aged 23, described as a labourer, but
well known to the police as a thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe,charged with stealing a silver watch from Mr. Miller, ,
leggings manufacturer, 9, Bartholomew-square, St. Luke's.
Mr. Miller stated that he was passing along Upper Elst
Smithfield on Wednesday evening between the hours of five
and six, midway between the street and the bSt. Katherine
Dock entrance, he was accosted by the prisoner, who placed
his hands on the shoulders of witness and forced him
against a wall at the corner of a narrow court, and at the
same moment he saw his watch in prisoner's hand. It had
been taken out of his waistcoat pocket. The guard had
not been detached from the watch. He immediately seized
the end of the guard, which broke, and he fell on his loft
side. The prisoner ran up the court with the watch, and a
large man ran after him. Many people advised him to
pursue the prisoner, to which he replied, " No, I have got
a sound head, and wish to keep it." He knew what the
courts in the vicinity of Upper East Smithfield were, and
went direct to the police-station and gave information of
the robbery and a description of the thief.
Mr. Selfe--Is the prisoner the man who robbed you of
your watch?

Mr. Miller—Ile is, sir. I recognised him directly I saw
him in the Leman-street station•hou<e.
The prisoner—Why, you turned me about before you
could say I wa,3 the man.
Mr. Selfe—No, you turned him about when you stole his
watch.

John Barrett, a police-constable, No. 158, said—l appre-
hended the prisoner at a late hour last night in companY
with a prostitute and convicted thieves, at a house in
s I
station-house."w°n'
Thomas-street, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoner
aiti
won't go tiillslaidl:avaeirerasytretcher to carry me to
the
well, you shall soon
have a stretcher, and•handcuffs too—no nonsense," and he
walked to the station-house with me. Barrett added—
There have been many highway robberies committed in
Upper East Smithfield, the courts and alleys leading out of
it, and the houses in which are inhabited by the worst of
characters, give facilities for thed
escape of thieves.
Mr. &He—You must try an And what has become
of
the prosecutor's watch. The prisoner is reinanded Until
Wednesday nest.

BERLIN, OCT. 9.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Countßismark-Schonhausen stated that Countßern-
storff and Herr von Holzbrink have tendered their
resignation. He further announced his own defini-
tive appointment as President of the Ministry and
Minister for Foreign Affairs; and also that Herr
von Itzenplitz has been charged with the provisional
administration of the Ministry of Commerce.
The Committee of the Upper House on the bud-
get will recommend to that house, in to-morrow's
sitting, to authorise its President to make a com-
munication to the Chamber of Deputies, requesting
an inquiry whether, upon further consideration, the
objection to the adoption of the budget of 1862
could be removed; and also to enable the Upper
House, by more detailed information upon the sig-
nification of those items of the extraordinary charges
of the budget objected to by the Chamber of Depu-
ties, to come with full knowledge of the question
to some resolution upon the adoption or rejection of
the budget.

TURIN, OCT. 9.

The Discussione of this evening says that a visit
of Signor Rattazzi to Paris could only take place
after negotiations which would ensure a success
beneficial to the national cause.

Information having reached the Government that
Mazzinian intrigues are being carried on in S wit-
zerland, the greatest precaution is being taken
against their success.
_

The Chevalier Nigra set out yesterday evening

for Paris.

The Marquis Pepoli, who has been detained in
Turin by a slight indisposition, leaves for Swit-
zerland to- day.

Intelligence received here to-day from Fort Varig -
nano states that Garibaldi passed a very quiet
night. The wound had ceased to be painful, but
was still swollen. The General had been attacked
with rheumatism in the right shoulder.

Since the commencement of the manufacture of
the heavier species of Armstrong and other guns in
Woolwich Arsenal it has been found necessary to
increase the weight and size of the blocks or anvils
of the huge steam hammers used in the welding
system of the coils, one of the blocks, weighing 35
tons, having been broken under the increaFed power
required. A new block was cast yesterdayunder the
superintendence of Mr. Fraser,d irector of the Royal
gun factories. As the metal reached the required
heat at 1 o'clock in the morning, the whole of the
hands had to attend at that hour. The volume of
boiling metal, weighing upwards of 50 tons, was
then drawn from the various crucibles, termed
cupolas," and was received in a capacious and
well-heated furnace, whence, after remaining
six hours, it was again drawn off and
run into the mould pit. It was there buried
up in black sand, to cool gradually, which process
will occupy no less than four or five weeks.
London, England, 1862-10-10

7IIE SECOND MARSHLAND INUNDATION

KING'S LYNN, THVRSDAY.

Yesterday another step was taken to exclude the
tide, by the formation of an earth dam about 400
yards above the fen drain sluice, and the same dis-
tance below the sack and pile dam at St. Mary's-
bridge, This could not be commenced until the
morning's tide had fallen several feet, and the site
site for the work was the subject of great contro-
versy, several contending that it ought to be much
nearer the sluice, where the banks are higher.
However, the decision of the stronger party was in
favour of the spot indicated, and 500 men and 50
or 60 carts were set to work under the direction of
farmers and engineers, and by the evening a solid
dam, 20 or 25 feet wide at the summit, had been
made.

The cradge banks on either side of the drain were
also raised as high as it was thought necessary.
The evening tide, however, 17ft. 6in, above zero,
was about six inches higher than the banks, and
consequently again poured over into the Marshland
sewer, and in addition over the bank on the other
side.

This morning's tide was higher again, some
18ft. 3in. above zero, and once more overflowed the
cradges. The men are now employed in raising and
puddling these, a labour which it is obvious might
have been saved by making the dam nearer the
sluice_ The inundation has not exceeded the limits
already mentioned, but has rather subsided from
the high land by running off through the drains.
Many of these in the interior of the country have
been now closed and demanded to prevent the ad-
mission of more water.

It is strongly hoped that this evening's tide will
be excluded by the raising of the banks now going
on ; and if so, " the country " (as fen men say) is
safe for the present from further disaster. The
" flitting" from the houses in the fen, however, still
continues, in anticipation of the worst. Some of
the poor people had only just returned to their
homes, from which they were driven by the last
inundation.
