SICILY.

The Malta Times publishes the following letter
from its correspondent at Messina, dated the 31st
ult. :—" I have to tell you that on two nights back
more troops came pouring in, about 5,000 or 6,000
from Melazzo, with three field-pieces, and 2,000
men from Catania, under the command of Colonel
Heber, the Times' correspondent. General Bixio
and Garibaldi's son are also expected to-day from
Catania with 3,000 men more. They left Catania
for this on the night of the 29th. Garibaldi has
lost no time since he came here. By Sunday morn-
ing he had already made a battery of eight guns at
the Faro Point, which is to be increased to 30 guns.
Early in the morning of the 27th, Fabrizi came
into Messina alone, the royal troops having aban-
doned the town during that night, taking good
care, as usual, to open the prison doors to 250 cut-
throats and housebreakers, about 60 of whom
have already been seized, but the rest have made
for the country. At 9.30 a.m. Fabrizi's men came
in, and shortly after Medici and his column—alto-
gether, during the day, it is said that 4,500 arrived
in Messina. The Italian heroes are well pleased
with the reception given-to them by the Messinese,
who, however, were not well prepared for such an
unexpected entry. Notwithstanding which, in a
very short time, a number of shops were opened,
and as the Italians came in they were received
with immense applause ; many persons were to be
seen handing refreshments to the men ; others with
jugs and water, cigars, rice, hot bread jest baked
for them, and showing other attentions for which
the Messinese are noted. All the cafes have orders
not to charge for anything that the troops may
take, and it is the same with the cigar-shops.
Preparations were ordered to be made for the
reception of Garibaldi, who was to come in on the
28th ; but he popped into town in a hackney-
coach, at a quarter to three the day before, just as
all the people were taking dinner. He was, how-
ever, discovered as he was going down San Leone.
His carriage was immediately surrounded, and,
though he protested against it, the horses were
taken out, and high and low were pulling away,
crying, ' Viva Garibaldi!' Viya l'ltalia !'—the
crowd increased every instant, everyone leaving
his maccaroni to welcome his deliverer. At last
his carriage stopped at the house where the in-
tendente used to live. He got out, and managed
to step into the house; but he made the people
shout for some five minutes before he showed
himself in the balcony ; the applause was im-
mense, besides clapping of hands. One hour after
his arrival he was in a carriage again and off
to the Faro. As he expressed this wish as soon
as he arrived, a carriage was sent forward to
state that Garibaldi was coming on that road
within an hour, on which bouquets were
made in no time, so that when he passed he was
well received. On his return from the Faro, all the
country-houses were illuminated, and as he passed
along large bonfires with straw and hay were made,
which gave a tremendous glare. The town was
illuminated, and tricoloured flags
without end hung
from the balconies. The people in town were dis-
appointed, however; for Garibaldi, when entering k

the town, got out of the carriage, and running up
some dirty lanes, managed to escape the cheering
prepared for him by the anxiously awaiting crowd,
who saw nothing but the empty carriage. This
morning early he was out, and it is not known where
he is gone. The citadel will have about 5,000 men
left in it. The two forts on the hill are to be dis-
armed. The Royal troops cannot pass Terranova,
but some of the officers are seen about our streets
and in the cafes fraternizing with the Italians. A
good many deserters come over; they walk about in
the Neapolitan uniform with a wide-awake and
tricoloured handkerchief, and the likeness of Gari-
baldi tied about their necks."

A correspondent at Naples writes, on the 4th :
" Appeals to arms have been publicly posted up in
this city. Last night a placard was to be seen
demanding annexation to Piedmont, and to-morrow
perhaps the abdication of the King will be called
for; for in the way in which things are now going
on, Francis 11. has not much chance of remaining
long on his throne. Great agitation prevails in
Calabria, and cries in favour of Garibaldi are
publicly raised. What, however, is certain is,
that but for foreign agitators the kingdom of
the Two Sicilies would never have witnessed
sedition against its King. The revolutionists
are in movement here, and the subject of gene-
ral remark is, that the clubs of .the Via Toledo
and of some of the neighbouring streets display
the greatest aetivity. The Camerrists of the Ad-
vocate Minister of Police appear to second the
enemies of the King in their conspiracies. I
shall not be at all surprised to see Garibaldi at
Naples in a week or ten days. In spite of every
solicitation, and the distribution of cigars, the army
still remains faithful."

Another letter from Naples, of the same date,
says :—" Three days ago the fete of the Queen
mother came on, and there was a remarkable de-
monstration of a negative character. Not an illu-
mination was to be seen anywhere in'the whole town
—not even at the posts of the National Guard. It
was said that the troops would compel the people to
illuminate by force, but they prudently abstained
from doing anything of the kind. If they had
attempted it, bands of lazzaroni would have gone
about the town to break any window at which a
light might be seen. To cause the importance
of the dimonstration to be understood, two
things must be mentioned—the first is that at
Naples, the people, either from fear or habit, never
forget to illuminate on Royal fetes; and the
second, and though abstaining from illuminating
for the Queen Dowager, the whole city has re-
cently been twice brilliantly lighted up—once to
celebrate the establishment of the National Guard,
and the second time on the anniversary of Gari-
baldi's birthday ; nobles, citizens, and the poor all
illuminated—even the Royalists themselves did so
from fear."

A third letter from the same city says :—" Fear
reigns in the two camps. The country dreads
reaction, and the reactionary party hesitates in
presence of the attitude of the country, and is
alarmed at the very populace which was for-
merly its instrument. In the eyes of the people
Garibaldi has dethroned St. Januarius and
St. Anthony, and they say at every mo-
ment, ' We have still a month's hunger to endure,
but when Garibaldi shall have arrived flour will
cost three sous the pound ! This idea makes the
people revolutionary, and gives them a force which
occasions terror to the reactionary party, whose
headquarters are at Gaeta.
.The Court spares no
pains to excite the zeal of the populace and of the
inferior class of citizens in its favour ; it gives
money liberally, makes unbounded promises, and
spreads the strangest insinuations and rumours.
The Cardinal Archbishop has formed a committee
under pretence of preparing for the elections, and
Canon San Severino is one of its most active agents.
One of its secretaries, a certain Soarano, hawks about
the mot d'ordre in the 20 parishes of the city. The
King relies more and moreon the army. The other
night he led it himself to Bagnuoli, at about a mile and
a half from Naples, where it was said a disembarka-
tion was expected, and his Majesty remained with it
to the morning. But the disembarkation was a pre-
text. In Calabria 16,000 men are to be concentrated,
and intrenched camps are to be formed at Leggio,
Monteleone, and Paoli. Troops were sent off yes-
terday and the day before. A telegraphic despatch
from Reggio says that a great movement was seen
at Messina on the opposite coast. General Clary
has arrived here in obedience to orders of the Minis-
ters, and has seen the King. It is believed that he
has recommended the evacuation of the citadel of
Messina,which he holds; but it is more probable that
he has cone to give precise details respecting the
operations of Garibaldi. The latter is now almost
master of the Straits, he having established a battery
of rifled cannon at Torre de Faro, with which he
dominates the opposite coast of Calabria. At the
present moment he has 17,000 men concentrated at
Messina."

NORTE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPII.

The following is a copy of a letter received yes-
terday from Captain Allen Young, of the Fox
steamer :

"Thorshaven, Faroe Islands, August 3.

" Dear Sir,—As the mail probably leaves for home
to-morrow, I take the opportunity to report our
progress. We have had a tedious passage with con-
trary winds all the way, but I hope our good luck
is to come, and we are all happy. I have almost all
our coals remaining, and am ready to start fair from
here. In making these islands we ran a line of
soundings from some ten miles off into the north
point of Naalsoe Island, a fine sandy bottom and
shells, with depth varying from 35 to 26 fathoms.
We anchored here to-day, and immediately com-
menced an examination of the locality. I find Thors-
haven perfectly adapted for the reception of a cable,
but as it would be liable to damage from anchors, I
have selected an excellent little bay called Sandy-
yerde. This bay lies three quarters of a mile south
of Thorshaven Harbour, and there a cable might be
landed and be in perfect repose on a sandy bottom
and sandy beach, and perfectly land locked. We
have also run soundings across Naalsoe fiord, and
the depth of water bottom and strength of stream are
such as will perfectly admit of a wire being carried
through it either by north or south into Sandyyerde
bay or Thorshaven. The violent currents here are
mere bugbears. I have narrowly watched both ebb
and flood, and now in the strongest spring tides I
cannot detect more than a three knot stream in
Naalsoe fiord. As M'Clintock has examined West-
manshaven, and in case that fiord might prove un-
favourable. I shall gn to Heldervig. near the north-
west entrance to the fiord, dividing Stromoe and
Osteroe, and indeed this appears to me the best
point of departure from these islands. At any rate
we shall thus have two strings to our bow, that is
both Westmanshaven and Haldervig. Shaffner and
Rae cross the land to-morrow, and I pick them up
the other side, and having surveyed Haldervig I
shall depart at once for Iceland. I hope you will
pardon my writing you so short and hurried a
letter, but I am completely tired with the day's
work.—Believe me, dear sir, yours very truly,
(Signed) "ALLEN YOUNG.

THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH NAVIES.

A thick pamphlet has just been published, from
the pen of M. Cucheval Clarigny, the subject of
which is a comparison of the naval and Military
forces of England and France. The preface states
that it was originally written by order of the Go-
vernment, and not for publication; but that, in
consequence of misstatements on this side of the
Channel, it has been thought advisable to give it
publicity. The following is the statement it makes
of the strength of the French and English navies
The strength of the English fleet is taken, says the
author, from the Navy List of the Ist of July, 1860.
The effective strength of the French fleet on the Ist
of August, 1860, is given. Only the ships afloat are
put down ; these on the stocks are not mentioned.
The comparison would have been complete and to
the purpose if these last had been enumerated :

PROTOGRAPH OF A PRESIDENT
CANDIDATE.

Mr. Douglas came to Boston last week, arriving
on Tuesday afternoon and leaving on Friday morn-
ing, which was giving a great deal of time to so
barren a field as Massachusetts. He • was well re-
ceived, many persons going to see him out of
curiosity who could not be made to vote for him by
any human power. He has been the most promi-
nent figure in our political field for nearly seven
years, and so men turn Gut to gaze upon him who
would be among the foremost to keep him out of
the Presidency were it not that he has done the
work to their hand himself. Do you wish for the
portrait of the man who has become so notorious,
and who has been all but Caesar ? Well, then, he
is about five feet high, or thereabout, rather less
than more, and so short as compared with most of
our public men, that Benton once declared that he
never could be President because his coat-tails were
too near the ground, only the colonel expressed his
belief in more Rabelasian language than the de-
corum of journalism allows me to employ. His legs
are marvellously short, even for a short man, and
the development of his abdominal regions has cut
him off from even the hope of ever again getting a
full view of his shoes, while it has placed his waist-
coat fairly before his eyes. His head is massive,
and shows enormous mental power, dominated, ho w-
ever, by a sensual nature, which is indicated
by his face in an especial manner—a face that is
coarse in every detail, and enormously coarse in
the aggregate. If I was a believer in metempsy-
chosis I should say that his soul either had
inhabited the body of a bull, or that it was
destined to have such an abode. The chest and
neck are heavy and strong, and show how it is
that he has been able to perform labours so Hercu-
lean as those which he has gone through since 1857
—labours that would, I verily believe, have killed
any other man in America. Altogether the aspir-
ing senator presents an unattractive appearance,
and is the very model of a New York " Short Boy."
Had he been well brought up by a wife of deter-
mined will and fixed principles, he would have been
quite as clever as he is now, and much better look-
ing ; but his first wife, though an admirable woman
.in most respects, was too good-natured and easy,
and allowed him to have his own way in all things.
The consequence was that he lived fast and passed
his time, when not in his congressional seat, in the
company of loafers and bar-room rowdies, whereby
he contracted habits that even the ascendancy of
the second Mrs. Douglas, a very superior woman,
has not been able to remove entirely. There is no-
thing attractive about him, and if you were to meet
him as a stranger you would be inclined to give
him an uncommonly wide berth. Even his man-
ner of wearing his "fell of hair" is suggestive of
rowdyism, as he favours the " rumple" fashion, and
leaves the impression that he is ever ruffled for a
fight ; and men " hate the hawk that always lives
in war." He is a little man, but not one of Claren-
don's "little men"—Falkland, Sidney Godolphin,
and the rest of them—who were gentlemen, and had
great minds and grand souls. He is emphatically a
" rough." His manner is easy certainly, but it is
the easiness, not of a man of good breeding, but of a
man of a want of good breeding. The sensation his
appearance excites is compounded of pity and dis-
gust; pity,that so fine an intellect as his should be so
wasted; and disgust, that the waste should be so
wanton. He makes a sad contrast to his rival in
the :fiery affections of the passionate Democracy.
Mr. Breckinridge is singularly handsome, being
tall, elegant, and dignified ; in short, the very ideal
of a gentleman, if I may say so, and would beat all
the other candidates hollow were looks to decide
the contest. His supporters ought to send him
after Mr. Douglas, wherever the latter shall go, so
that the people may have an opportunity to see
how different the men are. The Kentuckian is of
high lineage, as lineage goes in America, as he
belongs to a family which has been well known
for near a century, and which has produced states-
men, lawyers, divines, and literary men.

LORD DERBY. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW,
AND THE LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

At the adjourned meeting of the Livorpool Town
Council, yesterday, a letter was read from Lord
Derby, requesting the co-operation of the Council
with regard to the arrangements for the proposed
great volunteer review at Knowsley Park, on the
Ist September. On the motion of Mr. Parker,
seconded by Mr. Gardner, it was resolved that the
volunteers in the employ of the Corporation should
have a holiday. During the discussion of the sub-
ject Mr. R. Gladstone (brother of the Chancellor)
took occasion to denounce the volunteer movement
as a ridiculous exhibition of personal vanity ; said
that it would defeat the object for which it was
organised, cull declared that an exchange of com-
modities was the only guarantee of peace. The fol-
lowing is a copy of Lord Derby's letter :
St. James's-square, Aug. 6, 1860.
Dear Sir,—lt has been suggested to me as very desirable
that the Volunteer review which is to take place in front of
the house at Knowsley on the Ist of next month should
commence at an hour which will admit of the several corps,
and especially those coming from a distance, returning to
their respective homes before a vet), late hour of the night;
but this cannot possibly be accomplished if the men are
unable to leave Liverpool till after the ordinary hours of
business. In such a case, indeed, they could hardly all be
on the ground very much before dusk ; and all parties would
be subjected to very great inconvenience. The spirit with
which the Volunteer movement has been taken up in Liver-
pool and the neighbourhood leads me to hope that there
will be a very general disposition to afford every facility for
the proposed review ; and should you approve of the idea of
obtaining for the Volunteers generally a half-holiday, if not
a whole one, for that day, I do not doubt but that your in-
fluence would secure for it a general and ready adoption.
In that case the review might commence not later than
three or four o'clock, and the men would be enabled, with-
out inconvenience, to reach their homes without encroach-
ing largely upon the Saturday night. Should you think fit
to bring this subject before the Council, and, with their
concurrence, obtain the accomplishment of the object, you
will, I think, greatly promote the public convenience, and
you will much oblige, my dear sir, yours faithfully,
The Worshipful the Mayor.

FATAL ACCIDENT T() ARTILLERY
VOLUNTEERS.

DOVER, THURSDAY EVENING.
The town of Dover is thrown into consternation
by an appalling accident which has occurred this
evening. While the Artillery Volunteer Corps
were engaged in gun practice at Archcliff Fort one
of the guns burst, scattering its fragments in all
directions. Mr. G. T. Thompson (solicitor), one of
the lieutenants, and Mr. J. Monger (tobacconist),
a sergeant, were killed upon the spot, and several
other members of thb corps are seriously injured.
Mr. Harris, a nephew of Captain Wollaston, who is
in command of the corps, is lying in a dangerous
condition from concussion of the brain, and among
the other persons hurt are Mr. Gilfillen (tailor),
Mr. Hadlow (painter), and a young man named
Boulding.
Lieutenant Thompson was the coroner for the
borough, and was held in the highest esteem by all
classes of his fellow-townsmen. It is believed that
the accident arose from a defeat in the gun and not
from its being imperfectly loaded, as the ball dis-
charged from it reached within a few yards of its
proper range, which would not-have been the case
had there been any defect in the ramming of the
charge.
No event has occurred in Dover for many years
which has cast such profound sadness over the
town.

TILE MYsTER.Ioi/S 11.1JAD MURDER.—The most
strenuous exertions are said to be put in force by the local
police,
under the direction of Capt. Meredith, in this most
mysterious case, in order to trace the murderer or murderess.
At present their course of action is strictly private, but they
are sanguine as to the result. Mr. Inspector Whicher and
Mr. Williamson have not yet returned to the scene, beinc,
otherwise engaged in town. The case is now in the hands'
of Superintendents Wolfe and Foley, assisted by the other
superintendents and the police. A strict watch is still kept
over the inmates of the house, from whom the police are
unable to elicit anything further, in addition to what has
already appeared, respecting this dark transaction. The
missing bedgown, it is almost needless to state, has not
been found, although the most searching investigation has
again been made by the police of all the inmates of the
house and of the persons in the locality, likely to afford
some information on the mat er. So minute has been
the search, that last week the police applied to the Home
Secretary for an order to exhume the body of the murdered
child, at Baynton, Devizes, thinking the night-dress might
have been secreted in the coffin with the body, as it was not
interred until the Saturday following the Tuesday when the
night-gown was first missed. The order was granted, and
the body disinterred, but nothing but the usual habiliments
of death were seen in the coffin ...Bath Chronicle. We read
in the Frome Times :—" On Monday a gentleman holding
a high judicial position paid a visit to Road, and minutely
examined the premises and several of the household. We
are unformed that the conclusion he arrived at was that
which is shared in by nearly all who have been engaged
in investigating the case, gamely, that the deed was not
the :work of one person alone. He was further of opi-
nion that the murderer did not return to the house.
The case is now again in fhe hands of Superintendent
Foley, Inspector Whicher not having returned, nor,m ~,,
believe, is he expected to return. Mr. Foley has 'uealmost:daily visits to Road. It has been very widelyi

T.TIE _REVIEW OF Tlig SCOTTISH
VOLUNTEERS BY THE QUEEN.

(From the Edinburgh Courant.)
The Review of the Scottish Volunteers yesterday
is one of those events seldom witnessed more than
once by an individual, but which witnessed once
can never be forgotten. Those who were present, or
those who are acquainted with the environs of the
Seottish capital, need not be told that nowhere in
the whole British dominions could a spot be found
better adapted to give full effect to such a spectacle
than that where the review took place.
Imagine a large natural. amphitheatre, a few
miles in circuit, and of proportionate depth, from
the level basement of which, sufficiently large for
twenty thousand armed men to manoeuvre without
appearance of crowding, there rise to the height of
eight hundred feet a series of terraces, some bold
and precipitous, some gently sloping, and it
will be evident that, even if the ground had
been laid off by the hand of man for the occasion,
it could hardly have been better suited for the pur-
pose to which it was yesterday set apart. Coining
in at either corner of the esplanade you are struck
with admiration at the sight which immediately
meets you. To whatever hand you turn you. behold
men and women in " number numberless," looking
down upon you, dispersed in easy groups, or cluster-
ing thick as bees on every knoll and eminence, the
hillsides literally alive with the multitudes that
cover them. You are balled in the attempt to calcu-
late the throng, and seek relief from the sense of in-
ability. - Looking beyond the crowd to the highest
point of Salisbury Crags, away to the extreme right
your eye rests immediately with pleasure on some
military tents whose light and airy look of snowy
whiteness, gleaming in the sunshine, at once gets
effect from and gives it to the foreground, dark with
the dense mass of human figures. As you turn
your gaze for a yet more extensive range, you be-
hold far up on the very peak of Arthur's Seat, in
solitary glory, the Scottish standard floating mag-
nificently to the breeze, as if proudly conscious of
the occasion and the scene. Whilst over all there
stretches a noble canopy brilliant with the ever-
shifting splendours of a fine autumnal sky. But if
the sight be so imposing from the lower ground,
where the view is of necessity broken and dis-
turbed, what must it be from the higher ground
opposite ! There, on the extreme left, the view
embraces entire the royal turrets of Holyrood.
Traversing the entervening space, you are attracted
by the brilliant uniforms of field officers upon their
chargers, whose swift career scarcely for a moment
hides an immense gallery erected at the further
edge of the area, covered with festoons of laurel,
and crowded with fair women in every shade and
variety of dress. Again and again you sweep with
your glass along the well-filled benches, where all
that is fascinating may be seen, till, tired with very
excess of beauty, you gradually let your vision
repose on scenes to the farthest right —scenes which
History has made sacred and Genius immortal.
But you return by-and-by to attend to the more
immediate spectacle of the day, and the adjuncts of
a great military tableau present themselves. You
have entered tl3a ground perhaps about one o'clock,
and already you see a considerable body of volun-
teers in position in front of you and to either side. ,
There, in the eastmost quarter, the bright scarlet
of the Fifeshire Mounted Rifles contrasts with the
more sable uniforms which form the dress of the
greatest portion of the assembled corps ; as you
scan the extendea line, scarlet shakos of an occa-
sional company of engineers, or the red stripes dis-
played on blue or grey or green uniforms, together
with the order and erect attitude preserved by the
various groups you look at, convince you that you
are in presence of a large military force. But, if
any doubt remained upon the subject, the constant
march of other companies to the ground, most of
them preceded by their respective bands playing
lively martial airs, by-and-by convince you that
the army you are looking upon cannot number lass
than twenty thousand men. Even the circum-
stance which gives you the most annoyance, and
might appear to the superficial observer to be the
only fault that can be charged to the weather, ap-
pears, on second thoughts, to complete the picture.
The clouds of dust, which at intervals sweep be-
tween you and the object of your view, aptly
enough represents the smoke of battle, or gives the
idea always associated with an enormous array of
marching men.
Whatever previous labour and anxiety those who
are engaged in preparing for a military spectacle
may experience, the best proof that they have suc-
ceeded is that the spectator should have as little
idea of theseas possible when the review takes place.
Who could imagine from the appearance of yon
20,000 volunteers the endlessly minute labour im-
plied in the presence of every one of them ? Or
who could infer from the general aspect of that great
display—the ease, and celerity of the movements--
the fitness with which every part seemed adapted—
and the smoothness with which the whole passed off
—the difficulties and contingencies which had to be
anticipated and provided for ? It is to the credit of
those on whom devolved the duty of arranging the
proceedings that it was not till we left the ground
that the reflection ever occurred at all. It is the
best compliment that can be paid them ; and it is
the simple truth. From the time when the Fife-
shire Mounted Rifles, headed by the Earl of Rosalyn,
first " marched past" till the last Glasgow battalion
under Lieut,-Col. Scarlett saluted her Majesty,
there was nothing to suggest the previous exertions
either of officers or men, and as little the immense
exertions of those who were in general charge of
the spectacle. The former were for the most part
men who had been the greater part of their lives
accustomed to occupations veryfar removed from the
occupation of the soldier. To many of them it must
have been a serious toil indeed, considering the
shortness of the time over which their military eda•
cation extended, and the limited intervals they
could be expected to devote to it, and considering
also how positively adverse their usual avocations
were to the alacrity, and still more the precision,
of military movements. Yet it was most astonish-
ing to observe the ease which characterised the
great majority of the volunteers. We heard mili-
tary men express themselves thus. And although
the well-known courtesy and generous character
of that profession might be supposed to incline
them to look with a more lenient eye than if they
had been judging " regulars," it was impossible
for an ordinary observer not to agree in the highly
favourable award. Occasionally indeed, even an
untrained eye could detect a false step or an awk-
ward gait, but the occasion was comparatively very
rare, and the general feeli,ngsvoafs,ththeastpbeucttatfoorrs,thees

the volunteer army is composed, they could hardly
have noticed a difference between the review yes-
terday and any other. It is about two years since
the first volunteer corps was formed—a majority of
the corps on the ground yesterday have probably
not been in existence half that time, and a few of
them a great deal less even than that—judge, then,
what reason there is to be proud and thankful that
on a call so sudden, and with a training so short, a
country which for extent and population is the
least among the nations, can furnish a force so nu-
merous and so effective ! As you stood and saw
each minute 200 men march past—and so many, in
their stalwart proportions, their erect bearing, and
their light step, models of manly beauty—and
thought of the holy cause which for the time had
made them soldiers, was it possible not to feel the
glow of a generous enthusiasm and thought that
our national poet's prayer was more than answered
who asked that—

Howe'sr crowns and coronets be rent,
A virtuous populace might rise the while,
To form a wall of fire around our much-loved isle.
Yes, we say, more than answered, and surely
better answered, when we remember that both
the " Crown and the Coronet" were there, to

share with the " populace" one common senti-
ment, and to swear one common oath for the
grand old historic land that is the mother of us
all. It was, indeed, something to remember for
ever, when those twenty thousand men advanced
in line to salute their Queen, and when she stood
up before that vast assemblage to receive the spon-
rung out the

countless thousands that an hour thronged the
streets are still. Another

day, and scarcely will
there be a trace of yesterday's.. excitement left. A. few more days, and things will subside into their
usual quiet
andeveryday channel. But the dura-
tion of such events is not counted by the clock or
told upon the bells. They are landmarks in history;
they guide the current of events ; they leave their
impress upon all time. Not a man of that twenty
thousand, nor of all that ten times twenty thousand
who came to see it, but will carry with him its in-
fluence wherever he goes. In the workshop and the
counting-house, in the hut and in the hall, its re-
membrance will be cherished while he lives, and
handed down as a sacred tradition when he is no
more.

of London has instituted the Rev. J. Cohen, M.A. ehap-
lain to the City of London Prison, Holloway, to the

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has been more
activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mar-
kets. Sugars have been in increased request, the
refiners having operated largely in the stronger
finalities; good and fine grocery descriptions have
been taken, to a fair extent, for home consumption.
In the refined markets, however, there has been only
4 moderate business transacted on previous terms.
Tea has been dull ; no change, however, has taken
Place in prices. For coffee the demand has been
t° a fair extent, full rates having been obtained for
good and fine qualities7of Jamaica and plantation
Ceylon. Rice has been largely dealt in at enhanced
values, an advance of about 3d. per cwt. having
been
established on the superior qualities of East
India. Moderate transactions have been recorded in
tuta and cocoa, without material alteration in prices.
i
fruit a limited business has taken place in currants,
ellietlY for present requirements. The dealers,
40tv ever, are looking for advices from the islands
respecting the new crop, which, it is expected, will
net arrive until a -very late period of the season.
ualtpetre has been moderately active at about
Previous rates, and in tallow the dealings have
den on a limited scale for both present and for-
bard delivery, and prices generally show a down-
Ward tendency.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi-
-488 Was moderately active, and prices were firmly
maintained, The sales were 10,000 bales.
The first instalment of 25 per cent. is due to-day
1)11 the East Indian Railway Company's new de.
uelltures of £1,500,000.

Anated, the whole of the remittances received from

e °lnrnissioner that the auction of the Foreign Re-
"etaable Debt will take place at Madrid on the

t4BBigned 1,110,040 reales.
t small amount of business has been transacted
I°.day in the market for Public Securities, which
qb.it've remained at the depreciated quotations exhi-
lted Yesterday afternoon. The notice of motion
made by Sir Charles Wood last night relative to
~141 Indian Loan for £3,000,008, has produced an
adverse effect. Consols are 93 to 931 for money,

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.,—DRISTOL, Aug. S.—
• appalling occurrence has happened at the liotwellrocks,
itlear this city. Those who are acquainted with Clifton will
e f•
amiliar with the "black rocks." The Durdham Downs
to out to the very summit of those cliffs, and, with a view
iltalla safety of the public, a wall of about five feet high
'leen built along them. At about seven o'clock this
morningthe two quarrymen were •crossing the upper part of
:Le rocks, and when about halfway down the cliff they ob-
:"'scl, amongst a mass of large blocks of stone, the body of.
man, lifeless and sadly mangled. They gave an alarm,
7d a policeman got the body down the rock, and deposited
in an outhouse. The face and head had been frightfully
injured, and one of the legs appeared also to have been
Kn. On examining the top of the rock there were
found, at about five or six feet from the spot where the body
Must have gone over, two pools of blood, and also marks as if
a,,body had been rolled along ; but the blood did not approach
the rock, nor is there anything in the condition of the man's
clothes or linen to account for its presence. A hat, which is
verY much cut, was picked up near the spot, and no doubt
belonged to the deceased. The body has since been identified
as that of Mr. Pro pert, a cooper, a married man, with five
children. P
COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.--A
collision occurred at an early hour on Tuesday morning on
the Caledonian Railway near Edinburgh. Official infer-
-I:nation was declined, but we understand t hat the collision
took place not far from Slateford, between the night mail
train from the south and the goods train. The mail train,
Which is due at Lothian road about half an hour after mid-
night, was rather late, and dashed into a train of goods
trucks which were being shunted on to the Haymarket
station. Alarming rumours were abundant about the re-
sults of the accident, but we believe the most serious injury
is that one gentleman, a passenger in the mail train, had
his leg fractured, and another passenger was severely
bruised. Others were injured, but not to any serious
erent.--Scotantan,
