LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1866,

The Italians have certainly been most unfortu-
nate in all their attempts since the commencement
of the war ; and, as if enough misfortunes had not
already overtaken them, they have just been visited
by a severe storm, which has done them great
damage. Several vessels of the Italian fleet were
injured, and the Affondatore sunk in the port of
Ancona. The affair seems to have excited some
suspicion, because a committee of inquiry has been
instituted to investigate the causes of the disaster.
What with one thing and another, we cannot see
that the Italians have much cause to congratulate
themselves upon the part they have played in the
war. The advantages that they will reap will not
have been gained by their own prowess, or be due
to their perseverance, and doubtless the knowledge
of this makes them so irascible and so unwilling to
conform to circumstances and cordially agree in the
proposed arrangements. When every one thought
the chief difficulties of the war were over, or at
least in a fair way of being settled, it turned out al
at once that nothing could content the Italians, and
that they desired a great deal more than any one
supposed they had a right to. Time has not, an-
parently, moderated their expectations, for they
are no nearer a completion of their arrangements
than' before. The Emperor NAroLEoN was ex-
pected at St. Cloud last night, and it is said in Paris
that the reason alleged for his return is a question
• that has arisen relative to Italian affairs. The in-
consistency displayed by the Italians is most extra-
ordinary, and must be a source of great annoyance
and disappointment to their friends and well-
wishers.f_ The French naturally feel the full extent
o their ingratitude for the great services rendered
ja
18591 and the refusal to accept Venetia from the
EMPEROR
be
speedily -was a direct insult that is not likely to
forgotten.
Russia. appears to be anything but satisfied with
the results of the German war, and no doubt that
is fully appreciated at Berlin
by this time. Gene-
ral Von MANTEUFFEL has left
present at a militar Berlin after being
y council ; and it is said that
he is intrusted with a special mission to St. Peters-
burg. It is not likely, however, that the Govern-
ment of St. Petersburg will be take •
n by any of
the dexterous contrivances or the specious promises
of Berlin, especially when the acts of the Prussians
are so plainly at variance with their possessions. The
South German States have been very sedulous in
their endeavours to gain the intervention of Prussia
at the court of Berlin, but as yet to very little pur-
pose ; but very likely their demands have made
some impression upon the authorities, although they
have not made any decided advance in the affair as
yet.

If this storm do blow over for the time we have
no doubt that Prussia will soon find out her mistake
in adopting such an arrogant tone as she has done,
and taking advantage of the temporary successes
to slight the other great Powers. Great offence has

ALLEGED AITELIPT TO BLOW UP TEE
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENE

An absurd rumour was very prevalent this after-
noon of an attempt to blow up the Rouses of Par-
liament. It appears some foolish fellow, on Mon-
day morning, dropped a packet containing a small
quantity of gunpowder near one of the entrances of
the house. The police picked it up, and some mys-
terious penny-a-liner wrote the facts of the ridicu-
lous story to the cheap press so as to enable them
to produce sensation bills.

DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON A POOR FOREIGNER.—A
poor German, speaking very bad English, came before the
magistrate this morning, and complained of the following
disgraceful conduct :
The poor fellow, after much time expended in the pro-
cess, informed the magistrate that he was a man going
about with sheet glass to repair broken windows. He was
called yesterday by a person in Flask-row, Pimlico, to put
in a pane of glass, and was about to do so when the sheet
glass he was carrying was wilfully broken by a boy, and
himself attacked and beaten shamefully by others.
_ _

In answer to the Magistrate, the applicant said that the
glass had been wilfully broken by a boy throwing a stone
through it, and then that an attack was suddenly made
upon him by others, and he was much cut and bruised
about the face.
A very respectable-looking woman, residing at Pimlico,
said she had felt it her duty to come forward and inform
the magistrate how cruelly the poor foreigner had been
used. lle was bleeding profusely from the face when she
interfered, and the attack had been made upon him without
the least provocdtion, because he wanted redress for his
broken glass.
Mr. Arnold asked if the boys could be found.
The woman replied that two were known to her by
sight, and could be identified.
Mr. Arnold immediately issued a warrant, without fees,
for the apprehension of the offenders.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day tho arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were only moderate. Only a mode-
rate business was transacted in both red and white parcels,
but the prices realised were fully equal to Monday.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
trade ruled firm, and late rates were well supported.
In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly on
former terms.

Barley was in fair supply and moderate request at about
Monday's quotations.

Malt commanded but little attention at stationary prices.
There was a good show of oats on, offer. Fine pareels
were disposed of at full quotations, but inferior samples
met a slow sale at the late docline.

In beans and poas very little was doing at drooping
prices.
The flour trade was quiet on former terms.

provement was effected by carrying its intake up
'the river to Lea bridge beyond the tidal range.
The water was brought down an open canal by the
side of Hackney cut, and terminated in two large
reservoirs on the other side of the black Lea. This
canal and these reservoirs of about nine acres still
ex Ist ; they are marked in the most recent map by
Stanford as the " East London Waterworks canal"
and the " East London Waterworks reservoirs."
one of these reservoirs was recently emptied and was
filled again perhaps by springs or soakage. These
old. reservoirs are not, it is said, used, the covered
reservoirs containing the only water fit for use ; but
the old reservoirs retain their old channels of commu-
nication with the pumping wells, and the company has
the power, in an emergency, to distribute the water
from the old reservoirs all over the region of the
cholera field. But this the company professes not to
do— and it could scarcely be the result of accident,
otherwise the diffusion of the waters of the old reser-
vairs over the area would afford a probable explana-
tion of the sudden outbreak in East London.
It is a notable circumstance that the parts north of
Victoria-park supplied by the East London Company
direct from their filter beds have not hitherto suf-
fered from cholera, notwithstanding contiguity to the
infected districts, more than other districts supplied
by other companies. This implies that the East
London water, as it leaves the filter beds, is as good
as any other water in London.
It is natural, as land is valuable in East London,
to inquire why a commercial company has for many
years retained some miles of a canal and nine acres
of reservoirs for no purpose ? Mr. Greaves replies
that the canal serves to carry off the wastes of the
filter beds, and that the company proposes to con-
vert one of the old ponds into a covered reservoir.
When this is done, and the other pond, which, we
are told, is of no use, is filled up, or has no longer
any connection with the pumping wells of the com-
pany, the public may well rest satisfied, until some
great general reform is effected in the water sup-
, ply of London. In the interest of the public health
the country has a right to demand this security.

A BARMAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—Mary Jane
Stanterford, about 1G years old, barmaid in the employ of
Mr. Benjamin Overton, of the Old Chesterfield Arms,
Shepherd-street, Mayfair, was charged before Mr. Flowers
with stealing cigars and other articles, the property of her
master. . _

Mr. Overton said that for some time past ho had sus-
pected the prisoner, who was his barmaid, of robbing him.
On Sunday last she went out and never returned, and in
consequence of one of his children telling him that the pri-
soner had taken some money from the till ho communi-
cated with the police, and went yesterday to the prisoner,
who was staying with her aunt in Bateman's-buildings,
Soho, and ordered her to return with him, and she did so.
He then gay() her into custody, and on the officer search-
ing her box some cigars, stockings, and other articles (his
property) were found, and the prisoner acknowledged tak-
ing three shillings from the till. The prisoner had been
laying out money extravagantly, and had told a person
named Norton not to let Mrs. Overton know what she
bought.
Philip Shrives, 82 C, proved being sent for, and taking
the prisoner into custody for stealing different articles and
money from the till. The prisoner denied three or four
times taking any money, but afterwards admitted that she
took three shillings from the till on Sunday. On searching
th© prisoner's box he found the cigars and other articles
produced.
Mrs. Overton, wife of the prosecutor, identified the pro-
perty produced, and stated on coming down stairs on Sun-
day afternoon she found a man who acted as potman
stupidly drunk, and the next morning he told her that the
prisoner had given him half a pint of gin to drink. From
inquiries she had made she found that the prisoner had
been spending a good deal of money of late, and she had
no doubt the prisoner had robbed them to some extent.
Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner.

IMPERIAL GUARANTEES.

In reply to Mr. HUBBARD for returns on the above sub

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
would be no objection to granting the return moved for
by the hon. gentleman. With respect to his question, it
was qui:,e true that the Turkish Government had failed to
provide the interest on the loan specified on the Ist of
August, but he felt it his duty to add that ho had that
afternoon received information from the Turkish Ambas-
sador, who had received the communication by telegraph,
that the necessary funds for making the payment, and also
for the sinking fund, had been forwarded to Constanti-
nople, and might be expected in this country in the course
of a few days. The Governments of France and England
had made good their guaran'vee, but what would be done
for the futtre he must decline to answer that part of the
question until the Governments of France and England
had deliberated on the matter.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at farts is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. on
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
'is. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold 15
about 1-10th percent. dearer in Paris than in London.
course of exchange at New York on London tor bills at
60 days' sight is 104 to 109 per cent. At these rates Were
is a small profit on the importation of gold fr.= the
Unites States.

REPORTED SUICIDE OF THE ST. GILES'S MUR-

at Sunday evening.
The
twpashamall on Sunday
to sleep in a loft
over the stables, where he was found the next morning
suspended by the neck from the beam, having hanged him-
self with his black silk handkerchief. Prior to committing
suicide the man had carefully destroyed all traces of his
identity, the mark on the band of his drawers having been
cut out, and no other evidence existing on any other por-
tion of his apparel whichwould be likely to lead or furnish
any clue to his identification. A copy of a newspaper of
Thursday last was found near the body, and on the margin
was written in pencil, "Beware of the name of Plummer
—he has been my ruin." It is stated that the body bears
a strong resemblance to the description which appeared in
the daily papers last week of the wretched man Jeffrey;
who is suspected of the murder of his son, the little boy
who was discovered in Great Earl-street, Seven-dials,
hanging from a water-cistern. The district superintendent
of police, Mr. Henderson, was at once informed of the
occurrence.
FENIAN SCHOOLMASTERS.—From a Parliamentary
return just issued it appears that in the month of February
last two schoolmasters were arrested in Ireland on the
charge of Fenianism, and since September, 1865, thirty-two

TEII4' IRISH CONSTABULARY.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for copy of any
recommendation or certificate sent by the late Irish CND-
vernment to the late Board of Treasury for a pension or
superannuation allowance to be granted to Mark Binke,
late inspector of the Irish police force, subsequent to
his trial for his neglect and refusal to do his
duty at Balles')dare on the 26th of January, 1865. He
said he had brought the subject before the house on a pre-
vious occasion and in another form. The noble lord then
proceeded to repeat the statements he had previously made
as to an alleged attempt to interfere with a female named
Coghlan, in Sligo, Ireland, who desired to secede
from the Roman Catholic Church, which statements have
been so frequently denied. Two or three days ago he ap-
plied to the late Lord Lieutenant on the subject, and was
informed that the pension to Binke was the act of the
Board of Treasury.
The Earl of DERBY said he knew nothing of the merits
of the case, but that he considered that no benefit would
result froM the return moved for by the noble marquis,
who had an opportunity afforded him of making a full
statement.

The motion was accordingly negatived.
EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT AMENDMENT

BILL.

On the motion of the Earl of DERBY the Commons
amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to,
and the bill was read a third time and passed.

The Earl of MALMESBURY moved the third reading
of this bill, which was agreed to.

THE "CHOLERA MIST."

Mr. James Glaisher has seen the " cholera mist"
again, to which he called public attention in July.
" Last Monday," he says (July 30), "on looking
from the grounds of the Royal Observatory, Green-
wich, under the trees, towards the boundary walls
of the park, I saw the same dense, blue mist, which
has continued without intermission to the present
time, though somewhat less in density this morning.
Ordinary mists pass away when the wind blows
with a pressure of Ob. on the square foot. Since
last Monday we have had pressures of the wind
varying from llb. to 91b. on the same area, blowing
continuously for 60 to 70 hours, yet there has been
no change in this blue appearance. I have examined
the atmosphere daily for this blueness, particularly
during the last 12 months, and have never seen eny
thing like it since the year 1854. This blue mist is
apparent on all sides; it extends fully to the top of
the trees, though it is not then so easy to distinguish.
It is most east easily discernible through as much
atmosphere as possible, viewed from under a tree,
looking under other trees. Thus seen, the boundary
walls of Greenwich Park and all objects near them
are coloured blue ; or through gaps in trees, if
there are others at a sufficient distance to form a
background, when it resembles thin smoke from a
wood fire. The intensity of the blue is increased
when viewed through a telescope with a low power.
It is of great importance to know whether it is
general over the country. The only other tint of
mist I know connected with the prevalence of
epidemic is that of a yellow mist perceptible in like
manner when scarlatina is prevalent ; in neither
case is there any excess of humidity in the air."
Mr. Glaisher adds for our consolation that with the
exception of this blueness, and a mist, as seen over
London and Essex, there are no other of the pecu-
liar atmospheric conditions which prevailed in 1832,
1849, and 1854, such as an excess of heat, stagna-
tion of the atmosphere, extreme high readings of
the barometer, &c. ; and this holds out the hope
that the present visitation may not extend or be of
long continuance.

REPORTED SUICIDE OF THE ST. GILES'S MUR-
DERER.--,A, man about middle age applied for a bed
at the Coach and Horses, Clapham, on Sunday evening.
The house being quite full he was allowed to sleep in a loft
over the stables, where he was found the next morning
suspended by the neck from the beam, having hanged him-
self with his black silk handkerchief. Prior to committing
suicide the man had carefully destroyed all traces of his
identity, the mark on the band of his drawers having been
cut out, and no other evidence existing on any other por-
tion of his apparel whichwould be likely to lead or furnish
