A very unexpected incident, connected with the approach-
ing negotiation fur the loan, occurred this morning. Messrs.
Baring Brothers, and Co:, and Messrs. Reid, Irving, and
Co., who had formed a very powerful list to bid for the con-
tract, have withdrawn from the: competition for it. Their in-
tention was made known at about 12 o'clock to-day (Thurs-
day), in the following letter, which was immediately after-
wards posted at the Stock-Exchange :-
44 Rishopsgate, July 30.

" Messrs. Sutton, Sons, and Co.,

, .
" Gentlemen,—We 'take the earliest opportunity of informing
you, in reply to your application, that it is not our intention to
mains any bidding for the loan, the particulars of which were
announced at the meeting held at the Treasury yesterday morning.
" We remain, &c., '
" BARING. BROTHERS AND CO."
A similar notice was sent from Messrs. Reid, Irving,
and Co.

This proceeding has been very freely commented on by
the monied interest in general, and particularly by those who
had lent their assistance in strengthening the list of Messrs.
Baring, and who complain loudly of having been sacrificed

to some secret coalitiOn or private arrangement with the other
competitors for the loan. This is an accusation which, if
duly supported, would put the gentlemen concerned entirely
out of the field on any future occasion of the kind, and is one
so severe in the judgment of the city capitalists, that it
ought not to be countenanced upon such light grounds as at
present exist for it. It is more charitable to suppose, and
more consistent with the high character those- houses have
borne for so many years in the city, that the large amount
of the loan, combined with the critical turn events have
suddenly taken in France, have led them to consider that
they would best consult the advantage of their friends in
abandoning the contract altogether. It is only unfortunate
in this View of the case that their resolution was not taken
yesterday, as all these circumstances were known shortly
after the meeting at the Treasury broke up. Some expla-
nation will no doubt be afforded on this subject hereafter.
The rage and indignation of the parties concerned are,
meantime, excessive. This event of course leaves the com-
petition open to two lists only, and so far places the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer at a disadvantage in the negotiation.
The late period of the session to which the contract has
been deferred, and the declared necessity under which he is
placed of completing it before the session closes, leaves him
in a very great degree at the mercy of the bidders for the loan.
The Consol-market was on the advance at the time the
notification by Messrs. Baring was made, but this suddenly
checbed it, and the quotation closed rather heavily at 89
buyers.

THE NEW PALACE.—Some misunderstanding
having arisen as to the time at which the admission of the
public, by tickets, to view the interior of Buckingham Palace,
would terminate, we now state, upon the best authority, that
the Palace will positively close to the public on Friday next,
the 31st inst.

The public meeting on Monday at the Corn Ex.
change in Dublin displayed another specimen of Orange ruf
fianism.—Dublin Register. ,

LONGEVITY.—There are now living in Kilham
(a small town, containing about a thousand inhabitants), 20
men, whose united ages amount to 1,535 years, and 20
women, whose united ages make 1,562 years.—. Hull Ob-

Church of Ireland Bill :

server.

KESWICK.—Owing to the heavy rains, the cata-
ract at Lowdore has this summer been magnificently grand.
The noise of the falling water, which rushes Impetuousfy from
a height of nearly 400 feet, over immense blocks of stone and
rock, might frequently be heard at the distance of many miles.
—Cumberland Herald.
The average prices of wheat and rye for the third
week of July, at Brussels, were 15f. 86c. and 9f. 43c. per
hectolitre. The import duties were therefore 37 50 on wheat,
and 21 50 on rye per 1,000 kilog.
The wheat harvest, which is now commenced very
generally throughout the south and south-western counties,
promises a most abundant crop, in some places even more so
than last year. The barley crop, both from the effects of some
sharp frosts late in, the Spring, and the long continued dry
weather lately, is not likely to be so good.
At Sherbourne fair, on Monday last, 3,000 sheep
were penned, and nearly the whole sold at good prices. One
lot of lambs fetched 225. per head. The bullock fair was
well supplied, there being GOO in number, principally from
Devonshire, tile greater part of which met a ready sale, though
some were driven away unsold, from the shortnesss of the
keep. The horse fair was very full, but chiefly of an inferior
description. Pigs sold well, there not being enough to supply
the demand. The wool trade was dull, scarcely any bargains
were made; the dealers offering not more than la per lb.,
which the sellers refused. On the whole, we learn that a great
deal of business was done.—Sherborne Mercury.
MULBERRY TREES.—If the growth of France in
raw silk may be estimated at 3,000,0001 b., the quantity of co.
coons may be estimated at about 36,000,0001 b. It is calcula-
lated that 161 b. of mulberry leaves will be consumed for the
production of llb. of cocoons, so that the annual produce of
France must be 576,000,0001 b of leaves ; and giving to each
tree an average annual produce of 101 b., the number of mul-
berry trees must be above 5,700,000. One ounce of eggs
will, on an average, produce 1001 b. of cocoons. An ounce of
eggs is calculated to give at least 30,000 worms. The quan_
tity of silkworms annually reared in France cannot, therefore,
be less than 10,800,000,000. —Dr. nod:ring's- Report.
THE SCOTCII TIIISTLE.—There Is now (says the
Bucks Gazette of Saturday) growing in the garden of Mr.
John Smith, of Buckingham (the Aylesbury mail man), an
enormous thistle, vulgarly called the Scotch thistle. It stands
more than eight feet in height ; its branches spread out and
occupy ground thirteen or fourteen feet in diameter, and the
main seem is as thick as a man's leg. Some of the leaves are
very large. There are more than five hundred blossoms upon
it. The prickly embellishments of this formidable plant pre-
vent any actual measurement of it, as the writer of this notice
can testify. A Scotchman, with eyes glistening in admiration
of this noble specimen of his national flower, exultingly ex-
claimed—" In troth, mon, he's nae forgot the motto of his
order, but saes, pretty pointedly, Nemo me impune lacessit.'"
REPAIRS OF BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.— The
Blackfriars-Bridge Committee have received from Mr. Walker,
the engineer, a plan for reducing the dangerously steep as-
cent of the bridge. The present load rises 1 foot in 16, and
not a day passes without some serious or disagreeable acci-
dent. The rise on the roadway contemplated by the engineer
is 1 foot in 27 over the ends of the bridge, and from thence
to the centre 1 foot in 24. The method by which the engi .
neer proposes to separate the raised road from the coach
drive of Chatham-place and Albion-place is very elegant, and
if carried into effect. will rsaterially increase the value cf
those houses. The plan also contemplates the widening of
the foot paths by supporting the increased width upon blocks
in the cornice. This plan, it is to be hoped, will be imme-
diately adopted, for it will materially add to the public con-
venience. There is a petition in the course of signature by
all the large and small traders who employ draught-horses,
and no doubt it will produce an effect upon the Committee
now so actively engaged in making the extensive repairs of
the lower parts of the arches.
INSANITY CAUSED BY DRUNKENNESS.—AIice
Gray, the young woman whom we reported a few weeks back
at having been before the Magistrates on a charge, from the
officers of the Nightly Watch, that she had been found drunk
in the streets, was on Thursday week again brought up for a
similar offence and discharged. On Tuesday night last she
was again brought to Bridewell, where, as the intoxication
abated, she exhibited such symptoms of insanity that a medical
man was called in. The disorder increased till it assumed the
complexion of madness, when it became necessary to send her
to the Lunatic Asylum. On the same night a notorious
woman, named Margaret Johnson, was seized with a similar
disorder, which also rendered her removal to the Lunatic
Asylum a matter of necessity. —Liverpool Albion.
MAD DOGS.—Sir W. de Bathe, at the Maryle-
bone vestry on Saturday last, moved a resolution that beneath
every pump in the parish a stone trough he sunk, in which the
dripping water might be 'caught. The object of his motion,
he said, was that the dogs running through the parish might
find water to satisfy their thirst. He had ascertained from the
surveyor that each trough would cost about 4s. Mr. Kensett
wished to know how many pumps there were in the parish ?
Sir W. de Bathe thought there were upwards of 50; but he
thought the vestry would not hesitate in spending a few
pounds for so good a purpose. Mr. Kensett observed that
he should not oppose the resolution ; but he begged to give
notice that, if he found the expense would much exceed the
amount spoken of by Sir W. de Bathe, he should oppose the
confirmation of the minute. Mr. Potter trusted the Vestry
would not play the niggard in this question ; if the vestry
should spend 1001., and thereby save one person from the hor-
rible effects of hydrophobia, he was sure no humane member of
the vestry would lament the expenditure.—(Cheers.) The re-
solution Was llama unanimously.
ATTEMPTED RA Pu.--z.iohn Murphy, an athletic
Irishman, was yesterday brought before the magistrates at
.
Deptford, charged with an attempt at rape upon the person
of Catherine Collins. The woman's cries, it appears, at-
tracted the attention of a carman who was passing at some
distance down the lane where the act was attemuted, who
corning up,
gave him in charge to the police,' wlibm he
assaulted violentlY on b'eineconVered 'to the' station house.
During the course of the examination the prisoner offered to
marry the girl, if she would not prOceed further against him.
