METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on sale I
here, to-day, the demand for all breeds was heavy in the
extreme, and, in some instances, prices- gave way 2d. per
Blbs. Prime Down sheep were mostly disposed of at Mon-
day's currency. Othewise, the mutton trade was depressed,
and the quotations had a drooping tendency. Calves—the
show of which was moderate—were very lull, and 2d. to
4d. per 81bs. lower than on Monday. Pigs were heavy, and
quite 2d. per 81bs. cheaper. Mitch cows were very dull.

A FEARFUL BALLOON
_VOYAGE.

The Toronto (Canada) Globe, of Sept. 27th, con-
tains the following account f a fearful balloon
ascent :--‘, A gloom is suddenly thrown over the
sympathising public by a sad termination to the
balloon ascension at Adrian yesterday. We learn
the facts from a gentleman who has seen and con-
versed with most of the persons interested. The
balloon, with Messrs. Bannister and Thurston in
the ear, arose from the enclosure at about half-past
8 o'clock. It went up steadily and beautifully,
taking a south-east direction, and soon became lost
to the sight of the multitude assembled at Adrian-
After the aeronauts had been up what they consi-
dered a sufficient length of time, they let the gas
escape slowly, and made a handsome descent near
Knight's-station (Riga Post-office), a few miles from
Sylvania. The aeronauts stepped from the car, and
immediately proceeded to unfasten it, and to re-
move the netting from the balloon, which gradually
turned over, finally resting with the neok upward.
Mr. Thurston got astride of the main valve, which
was a circular wooden box or frame,. fixed in the
top of the gas sack (which was very large, con-
taining 25,000 cubic feet of gas), and was engaged
in forcing back the valve, which opened inward, at
the same time requesting Mr. Bannister to untie
the neck of the bag. The latter Mr. 8., who was
busy with the netting, neglected to do. The mo-
ment the netting was off, the sack suddenly arose,
and Mr. T. still clinging to the valve, Mr. B. in-
stantly grasped for the ascending balloon, but
Thurston exclaimed, Hold on, Bannister, she will
soon come down again ; ' for he supposed' that his -
companion had untied the neck of the sack, which
would, of course, soon relieve it of gas, and, there-
fore, of its upward tendencies ; but he was doomed
to a terrible disappointment. Up and up the bal-
loon ascended with its precious burden of human
life, and when last seen by the horrified Bannister
was full two miles high, and sailing rapidly to the
northward. Mr. Bannister, sick at heart, and
dreadfully alive to the extreme danger of his com-
rade, hurried to Sylvania, arrivingin time for the
up train from Toledo, 11.25 a.m., on which, he soon
arrived at Adrian with the unhappy tidings. Mr-
Thurston resided at Adrian, and had a daughter '
there, his wife being dead. Hopes are yet enter-
tained of his having landed in safety somewhere in
the interior, by perforating the sack with his knife,
or some other means. Nothing further has been
heard from him up to a late hour this morning."

THE MILITIA.

The 2d Middlesex Royal Edmonton Rifle Militia,
Col. Lord Enfield, were inspected on Tuesday at
Barnet by Col. Douglas, who expressed his approval
of their soldierlike appearance and the manner in
which they manoeuvred. After the inspection a
number of the men volunteered for the line. The
regiment has been dismissed, having completed the
period of training.
The outrageous proceedings of the North Cork
Rifle Militia at Sheerness were on Tuesday fully
investigated by. Mr. E. Twopenny and Mr. J. 1).
Dyke, two of the county magistrates. Having ob-
tained the evidence of a number of the inhabitants,
they proceeded with Captain Ruston, chief con-
stable of the county, to confer with the Commander-
in-Chief, Admiral E. Harvey, and Lieut.-Col. Ned_
ham, Commandant of the Garrison, on the best
steps to be taken to prevent further outrages. The
delinquent regiment was at once confined to bar-
racks, and placed under charge of sentries of the
Royal Artillery, with stringent orders not to allow
any of the corps to leave their respective rooms.l
The charges against several prisoners who had
been apprehended on the previous evening were
then inquired into, and three of the militiamen were
remanded for trial by district court-martial. Two
civilians, named Edwin Haddocks and Stephen
Jordan, charged with assault,
being were brought before
the justices, the latter
fined 31., and Mad-
docks bound over to keep the peace. We under-
stand that the facts have been submitted to the
Horse Guards' th
au orities by the Commandant,
whose prompt measures deserve the highest praise.
The •
Rifles being confined to their barracks, the
town was perfectly quiet, and the shopkeepers re-
slimed their usual occupations. A court of inquiry
sat yesterday, presided over by the Colonel-Com-
mandant, to receive the evidence of the inhabitants.
There are from 30 to 40 witnesses to be examined,
a number of them being tradesmen whose premises
have been damaged by the Rifles. Charges of a
grave character have beenbrought against the com-
missioned officers and non-commissioned officers in
charge of the picket, as well as against the picket

RE DILLON-THE LYCEUM TREATRE.

This was an application for certificate on behalf Mr. C.
J. Dillon, late lessee of the Lyceum Theatre.
The accounts by Messrs. Butler and Cannings have
already been published. _ _

Mr. Bayley said that, with the consent of the assignees,
he had to ask for a first-class ceiVlA*;;. The bankruptcy
arose from an unfortunate speat in the Lyceum
Theatre in 1856. The bankrupt hed laid out a large sum
of money in contemplation of b'enceessful season, when
most unexpectedly Her Majesty's Theatre was opened at
reduced prices for the same class of performances. The
speculation in consequence failed, the people flocking to the
larger theatre—the receipts falling from £lOO to £3O a
night, and that which was expected to be a profitable season
ended in a loss. It might be inferred from the balance-
sheet that at the time it commenced, September, 1856,
that the bankrupt had entered into speculation when he
was not free from debt. The fact was that some years ago
—Mr. Dillon's being a very precarious profession—he was
compelled to petition under the Protection Act; and a por-
tion of the debts had been paid off, and the remainder
formed the deficiency. He had paid £5O a-year in liquida-
tion of the old debts. The principal creditor was a gentle-
man who had lent the bankrupt £2,000, for the
precise purposes of the speculation. Another pecu-
liarity in the present case was that the bankrupt
was required to deposit with the landlord of the
theatre, Mr. Arnold, a sum of money amounting to above
£l,OOO, as security for the due performance of the covenants
of the lease, and upon the failure of the speculation that
money became forfeited. No creditor comes forward to
complain, and he (Mr. Bayley) therefore trusted the Court
would grant a first-class certificate.
His Honour—Nothing would induce me to do that.
Mr. Brooke, for the assignees, was sorry to see the loss
of £2,460 by the speculation, and would, therefore, consent
to the application.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the
second class.

IN RE PARKINS.
This was a judgment on a disputed adjudication in
Bankruptcy, and was fully reported a few days since.
The bankrupt was an auctioneer in the City, but Mr. Pook,
from the office of Mr. Riches, Coleman-street, contended
there was no proof of trading.
His Honour considered the case had been fully made out,
and confirmed the adjudication.

from a duly qualified person. When men assume
important and onerous duties, they are bound to
display proper activity. There is a heavy respon-
sibility on the Board, and it will be well if they
fairly and properly meet the grave accusation that
has been preferred against them.

It is earnestly to be hoped that one of the most
priceless boons ever accorded by science to poor
suffering humanity may not be hastily dissipated
by being rashly abandoned altogether in surgical
practice, because of several recent cases that have
most unhappily proved fatal under the administra-
tion of chloroform.

At the same time, nevertheless, we cannot but
think that the period has now arrived when the use
of this remarkable anaesthetic should be subjected
to a very profound and searching professional ex-
aminatiot. A commission composed of some of the
most eminent and experienced of our medical practi-
tioners, physicians of extended practice and of the

highest reputation, together with the most giftec

among the great operative surgeons of our age—
should be formed as speedily as may be in any way
convenient : a commission authorised to examine

into the whole vital question relating to the ad-
ministration of chloroform—empowered to decide
whether or not it should be employed henceforth
at all, and if so, how, and by whom, under what

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2d contain no politi-
cal news, The .Espana publishes a long article
insisting on the necessity of making war on Morocco
in order to put down definitively the pirates of the
Riff. The Queen had not left Ferrol. The colonels
of the regiments composing the garrison of Madrid
had assembled to examine a new system of military
tactics proposed by the Marquis del Duero. The
Cronica had been seized.

The Nord recently published a telegraphic de-
spatch, stating that the consular agents of France,
Russia, the United States, and Greece had been
murdered at Stanchio, in the Archipelago ; but as
we looked on the account' as an erroneous state-
ment we refrained from giving it. It is now found
that the intelligence so given was completely
unfounded.

Count Nesselrode, ex-Chancellor of the Russian
Empire, arrived at Berlin on the Ist, and alighted
at the hotel of the Russian Legation. On the fol-
lowing day he dined with the Prince of Prussia.

THE ROYAL PROGRESS.

Her Majesty and; the Prince Consort, aceom
panied by ,the Princess Alice and the Princess
Helena, left Osborne at a quarter past 8 o'clock
yesterday morning for Leeds, and embarked at
Cowes on board the Fairy. The Royal suite con-
sisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon. H. Stopford, Sir
C. Phipps, General Grey, and Ponsonby.
The ships at Spithead, consisting of the Victor Em-
manuel, 91, screw ; the Archey, 14, screw ; the
Racer 11, screw; and the Russian steam corvette
Bazan, manned yards, and saluted on her Majesty's
passing. The Royal party were received on their
arrival at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, by Admiral
Sir G. F. Seymour, Rear-Admiral the Hon. G.
Grey, Major-General Sir J. Y. Scarlett, and Staff;
Captain Hastings, C.B. ; and Captain G. Seymotir,
C. 8., with a Guard of Honour from the Royal
Marines. At the railway station there were in at-
tendance the Hon. It. Dutton, M.P., Mr. Chaplin,
M.P., Mr: C. Castleman, with other directors of the
South-Western Railway, and Mr. S. Clarke, the
general manager of the Great Northern, under
whose direction the special train throughout the
entire line of railway was placed. Large numbers
of persons had assembled to witness the departure
of the train, and their loyalty found vent in repeated
cheering. The train arrived at Basingstoke at a
few minutes before 11 o'clock, and there stopped for
a few moments to take in water. Her Majesty had
on this occasion determined not to pass through the
streets of London, and accordingly on arriving at
the Falcon junction of the South-lyestern Railway
the train crossed over the Richmond branch to the
Kew junction, proceeding by Wandsworth, Putney,
Barnes, and Chiswick to Kew, where it arrived at a
quarter past 12. All this portion of the journey was
accomplished most satisfactorily, the train having
arrived at each station in succession with the most
exemplary punctuality.. This was ascertained by
telegraphic signals sent to the head-quarters of the
South-Western Railway Company by each station-
master as soon as he had provided for the departure
of the train from his particular locality, and the
line was kept as clear as the necessities of the case
demanded, in order that the Royal train might
not be impeded in its course. Prince Alfred
accompanied her Majesty to Kew, where the
• Prince of Wales met the Queen, and their Royal
Highnesses, alter the departure of the train, pro-

COLONIAL.

TEA—The market is very quiet, but prices are steady.
No business of any importance has been transacted.
SUGAR—There is a very limited inquiry, and the quan-
tity announced for public sale during the week is small.
Prices, however, are firm ; and in the Refined Market thew
has been only a moderate business done, at about late rates.
COFFEE—No sales of importance have been effected, and
the inquiry for plantation Ceylon is limited to a small quan-
tity, chiefly for home consumption ; for export, however,
there is a fair demand, and prices arc in most instances well
maintained.
RICE—The demand for good East India descriptions for
home consumption has been active. and prices are steady,
other qualities met with little support.
FRurr—There is no material alteration to report. New
"Valentia raisins sell readily at 44s per cwt.
SALTrETRE—A steady demand has been experienced for
the better qualities, and prices have been well supported.
TALLOW—The market continues firm, and a considerable
amount of speculative business has been done for forward
delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted bls 3d ; the last
' three months, 49s 6d ; and January to March delivery, 50s

respondent writes us as follows :—" In regard.to the grouse
shooting I hear no grumbling such as was prevalent last
year. Everybody seems to be well satisfied. Parties'of three
or four guns bag 50 brace daily in, the space of live or six
hours ; and though this falls short of former seasons, we
should bear in mind that it will require some years before
the grouse can increase so abundantly as formerly—consi-
dering the severe malady of previous years, which, had it
continued, threatened to exterminate the grouse alto-
gether,"

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—
Henry Farr, a tall and powerful man, a sawyer in the
employ of Messrs. Wigram, ship builders, Blackwall, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, on a charge of assaulting Henry
Young, a police constable, No. 365 K. Mr. Charles
Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner.

The complainant, who was in great pain, and is likely to
be ill for some time, in a tone scarcely audible, said that
yesterday morning the prisoner was charged at that court
with firing a gun in the Barking-road on Sunday afternoon,
and after an investigation of the case—
Mr. Selfe—l discharged him.

Young—Yes, sir, you did. About 10 minutes past 3
yesterday afternoon I was off duty and was passing
along the St. Leonard's-road, Bromley, and was about to
enter a public-house opposite, when the prisoner and five
others rushed out of the public-house and came towards
me. The prisoner passed upon me the foulest abuse, and
said " you I'll be revenged upon you, if it is 12 months
hard ; I have got you 'now," and struck me twice with his
fist and knocked me down. While I was down another
man kicked me on the side and on the legs. I managed to
get up, and was knocked down again and kicked, and be-
came insensible. There are contusions on my side, and I
am very ill. _ _ _

Jane Forbes, an elderly woman, saw the outrage, and
confirmed the statement of the complainant.
Mr. Charles Young, in defence, hardly knew what to
say. The prisoner was in liquor yesterday, and smarting
under the injury inflicted upon him by a night's imprison-
ment for firing a gun across the fields on Sunday afternoon.
He (Mr. Young) must say the prisoner was very foolish,
and ought not to have annoyed or struck the police con-
stable. The prisoner was very sorry for what he had done,
and hoped, in consideration of his family and that he had
been imprisoned for two successive nights, that a moderate
fine would be inflicted.

Mr. Selfe said this was a very bad assault, and one that
could not be visited with a small fine. The policeman had
been savagely assaulted because he had done his duty.
He fined the prisoner £3. If the policeman had been on
duty, he should have sent the prisoner to gaol without the
option of paying a fine. The penalty was paid.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The doors of this favourite place of amusement were las
evening again thrown open, and an immense audience
assembled to celebrate the occasion. During the recess the
interior of the house has been thoroughly repaired, and
newly painted in a very tasteful and elegant manner. The
prevalence of light tints, and the frequent use of gold leaf,
give the interior a rich and costly appearance. There are
no aonflicting hues, nor anything to offend the eye with
glare, but there is a soft effulgence of colour, and a warm
glow of light, which give the house a gay and splendid ap-
pearance, well befitting a theatre under the direction of such
an artiste as Mr. Buckstone. The medallion relieves on
the panels of the boxes, which, owing to the darkness of
the ground, heretofore attracted little attention, are now
brought out with vivid distinctness, and have a very strik-
irorg effect. This gallery of English dramatists includes
ShitlY3peare, Beaumont, Fletcher, Otway, Ben Jonson, Col-
man, Foote, O'Keefe, and many others. The, I;oxeS have
been hung with crimson velvet, fringed with gold, and the
light colour of the chairs, which have been substituted for the
old covered benches, where it was possible to introduce them
without too much sacrifice of space, produces the blest
pleasing contrast imaginable. •
"The Way to Keep Him," revived on the very last night
of the season that concluded a few weeks ago, commences
the present one, with the same caste as before, save_ that
Mrs. Sinclair acts the widow Belmour in the place of Mrs.
Charles Yoyng. Old-fashioned as it is, the comedy pro-
duces roars of laughter, and though there is no remarkable
point in the dialogue, sufficient amusement is created by
the perplexities of the sinners whose vices furnish the mo-
tives of the plot. On the appearance of Mr. Buckstone,
who sustained the character of Sir Bashful Constant, he
was received in so hearty and enthusiastic a manner, that
for some time he appeared completely overcome with the
warmth of the welcome. The comedy was followed by a
new Spanish ballet, entitled " The Daughter of the Guadal-
quiver," in which the renowned Perea Nena made her ap-
pearance, and executed some of her characteristic dances in
her most finished and exquisite style, at tile termination of
which she was rewarded with a perfect shower of bouquets.
The evening's entertainments were brought to a conclusion
with the petite comedy, "A Wicked Wife," and the lessee's
capital farce, "A Kiss in the Dark." We have nothing
further to add but our congratulations to Mr. Buckstone on
the brilliant audience that assembled on the *occasion, which
gave augury of future prosperity and success.

THE CIIINESE INDEMNITY.—There seems to be a 1
general impression in the City that: the Chinese Indemnity
to England and France will prove to be more than
£1,200,000, as first stated. In Paris a report from Alexan-
dria has become current that the total to England alone
will be £20,000,000. In this there is obviously some gross
mistake. The statements from China are in dollars, and
these probably have been confused with pounds sterling.
THE CHURCH-RATE QUESTION.—A resistance has
been made by the Dissenters of the parish of Croydon to
the levying of a church-rate of 2d., and a pall of two days
closed on Friday night at 8 o'clock. The result was—for
majority for the
Last year a similar attempt at resistance

was made, and then about the 'same number of votes were
polled, but the majority for the rate was only 409. So that
the feeling against church-rates in this parish appears to
have decreased.
MOVEMENTS OF ILLUSTRIOUS CONVICTS.—Red-
path, Burgess, and Tester, were despatched to the Austra-
lian convict settlements last week, in the Edwin Fox.
Redpath, a few days before his embarkation, had a farewell
interview with his wife, and their Parting is described as
being very affecting. Owing to his feeble constitution,
which had suffered considerably from the confinement of a
prison, he was incapable of enduring the severe labour of
the quarries, in which most of the convicts at Portland are
employed, and he was consequently put to work in the
" drying-room," where he had the light but undignified

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE at EDINBURGH

The additional particulars which have transpired
in connexion with this painful case since yesterday
(Friday) morning, do something, though not much,
so far as they can be relied upon, to dispel the
mystery in which it is enshrouded. The old
gentleman who accompanied Miss ',Moffat from
London was brought up again yesterday and
further examined in the Procurator Fiscal's
office. He describes himself as Thomas Gray, a
retired merchant, in easy circumstances, residing
at Monastery-house, Poplar-road, London, near
the West India Docks, and from his statement
it appears that the young lady who has met
such a frightful end was the daughter of his sister
(not of his niece, as formerly stated) who married
Mr. Moffat, a tailor in Camden-town, London. Mr..
Gray has been a widower for the last two years,
during which period his niece lived with him, and
acted as his housekeeper. He was much attached
to her, and left her £lOO a year for life in his will,
which he would readily prove by sending for that
document from London, and producing it. They
came down to Scotland merely on a pleasure excur-
sion, and during the passage down in the steamer
she was much fatigued. He could not understand
her motive for committing suicide, but she had been
nervous and in very low spirits for some time back.
They had drunk toddy together on several occasions
since coming to Edinburgh, and he thought the
Scotch whisky had increased her disorder. It is
said that on taking up their lodgings in Mr. Rus-
sell's, on Monday evening, they • brought part of a
bottle of brandy with them, that they subsequently
got in a bottle of whisky, and that nearly all this
liquor had been used by them principally in the
shape of punch or toddy. We mentioned formerly
that the deceased had expressed some uncomfort-
ableness at Mr. Gray's conduct towards her, and
her suspicions that he had drugged her toddy. The
medical man viewed these suspicions as nervous
excitement ; but we understand that these and other
circumstances had rendered Mr. Russell dissatisfied
with his lodgers, and determined him to get rid of
- them as soon as practicable. However this may be,
all the circumstances of this melancholy case, so far
as they have hitherto been elucidated, point unmis-
takeably to the conclusion that, whatever the dis-
posing cause, the deceased met her death by her
own hand. Mrs. Dunlop, who was seated in a room
immediately below that occupied by Miss Moffat,
and who heard the fall of a heavy body on the floor
at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, listened to hear
if any person came to lift it up, but no footstep was
heard, and, from the position of the rooms,
it appears indisputable that any struggle or
even footsteps coming or retiring at that
hour would have been heard by a person
below. Mr. Gray, we may mention, has
never been, properly speaking, in custody, but
has from the first voluntarily placed himself under
the surveillance of the police. Further and pro-
bably concluding examinations will take place
to-day before the authorities.—Edinburgh Courant.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
Prince Napoleon will, it is expected, leave Paris
about the 25th for Algeria, and will probably em-
bark at Cette. The council-general of the Herault
has expressed a wish that his Imperial Highness
would visit that port, which is the entrepot of pro-
ductions of the south-west of France destined for
exportation to the African colony, and it is thought
that his Imperial Highness will comply with the
request.

Marshal Bosquet, whose departure from Paris
for Pau has been announced, proceeded by railway
to Dax, where he was received by the members of
his family, who accompanied him to the Villa
Olympia, at Pau, which is occupied by his mother.
At the Marshal's express request no military
honours were paid him. He appeared much
fatigued, but nevertheless his health has improved,
and his physicians say that his native air will do
him more good than all the assistance of art.
" A statement having been made in an English
journal," says the Pays, " that in consequence of
the murder of a French sailor in a street of Canton
all the inhabitants of the street had been massacred
by the French, we are able to contradict the asser-
tion so made. A French sailor was, in fact, mur-
dered by the Chinese, but the assassins, three in
number, were arrested, and after being tried were
executed. They were the only persons who suffered
the punishment due to the crime."
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe arrived yesterday
morning in Paris en route for Constantinople.
M. de Thouvenel, the French ambassador at
Constantinople, has obtained leave- of absence, and
is expected in. France at the end of the present
month. It is rumoured that he will reqiiest not to
return to Turkey, and that he will be replaced at
Constantinople by M. Benedetti, chief of the poli-
tical direction at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
BOURSE, Sept. 6.—The market has been buoy-
ant, and securities have improved. Threes, after

SWEDEN.
A letter from Stockholm says :
" On the 11th of next month a year will have
expired since, with the consent of the Legislative
Chambers, the regency has been in operation in
the two kingdoms, and the term fixed by the royal
decree is thus about to expire. The public are
already anxiously discussing the plan which the
King may adopt to legally prolong the sovereign
powers with which during his illness he has
invested his eldest son. The fundamental compact
concluded in 1815 between King Charles John
Bernadotte and the States of the kingdom
assembled at Stockholm, is formal on the subject
of the assent required to be given by the four
chambers to the institution of the Regency to be
exercised temporarily by one or more members
of the governing family. Last year King Oscar,
finding himself unable from his extreme weakness
to govern the two kingdoms, addressed a royal
message to the four chambers demanding, accord-
ing to the prescriptions of the constitution, their
assent to the establishment of a regency to be exer-
cised in Sweden and Norway, by Prince Charles,
his eldest son. The Legislative Chambers, which
were then sitting, gave a favourable vote to the
royal message. Now, that the ordinary session
is closed, and will not reopen until 1859, every
one asks whether King Oscar will find it indis-
pensable to convoke the States for an extra-
ordinary session, in order to obtain their assent to
the prolongation of the sovereign power confided
to the prince, or whether he will think proper to
let the Regent retain his high functions until the
meeting of the Swedish and Norwegian Chambers
at the time fixed by the Constitution. Most persons
are of opinion that this latter will be the case."
