THE ARMY.

Owing to the numerous reinforcements recently
despatched to India from Chatham, and the re-
duction of the companies of the several East India
depots to 50 men each, the depot battalions have
been so considerably reduced tkat the number of
the troops of the line at Chatham is considerably
below the complement generally quartered at that
garrison. The authorities have accordingly directed
a battery of Royal Artillery to be sent to the gar-
rison from Ireland, and in addition to these it is
now understood that each of the three battalions of
infantry are to be immediately augmented by two
if not three depots each, so as to raise the force at
the garrison to something like its former number.
In accordance with these arrangements the depot
companies of the 2d battalion of the 30th Regiment,
now at Aldershott, have been placed under Orders
to move from the camp to Chatham, where they will
arrive to-morrow, and join the 2d depot battalion.
The other depots that will be sent to Chatham have
not yet been announced.

The 2d battalion of the 18th (Royal Irish) Regi-
ment of Foot leave Shorncliffe on Wednesday for
Portsmouth. It is expected that the regiment will
shortly be under orders f9r foreign service.
The present strength of the camp at Colchester
scarcely exceeds 1,200 men, and even this force is
likely to be reduced, 30 volunteers having been
solicited for the 29th, 20 for the 45th, 35 for the

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Although the arrivals of home-grown potatoes to these
markets have been very moderate, and scarcely any imports
of foreign have taken place since our last, the demand for

the town quarters, away from this failing re-
source, have been for the last two months in the
greatest distress. Even the Nicolay water, so boun-
tiful and plentiful in the most trying times, fails
short of the wants of the parching population. The
two adjoining little valleys of Polcevera and
Bisagno, so rich in springs, are utterly dry. The
laundresses are at a loss how to wash, and the
country people have to go great distances with their
beasts of burden to fetch wherewith to water their
cattle. Within no living man's memory was the
Riviera scourged by so awful a cessation of all mois-
ture,. Gardens and groves wither in the consuming
sun glare ; the country bears a look of desolation.
The deaths in Turin show an increase of 10 or 12
daily. At Chieri there have been cases of a " black
disease" (whatever it may be), which people think
contagious, and of which they fear the spread. The
doctors have ordered the immediate interment of
the first victims of the ominous complaint. As a
proof of the extraordinary state of the weather, I
may state that the pastures on the summits of the
Alps above Valdieri, which I saw a few days ago,
and which are usually so fresh and green and sweet
at this time of the year, were as dry and red as
stubble, and the cattle which is yearly sent up for
two months' grazing must be sent back to their
winter quarters, lest they should be starved on the
mountains.
There are some reports about Turin that Cialdini
has resigned his command at Naples, owing to some
differences with the central Government on the sub-
ject of the employment of Garibaldian officers, but
there is, I believe, no ground for the report. This
would, indeed, be the most serious calamity Italy
has had to endure since Villafranca. It is added
that General Menabrea would be sent out to take
Cialdini's place.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
The ericon has issued in the return of Mr.
Charles Turner, the Conservative.
Manchester presented a very animated appear-
ance during the polling on Saturday, some of the
busiest thoroughfares of the city being obstructed
by crowds of people awaiting the hourly publica-
tion of returns. Great good humour and good
order prevailed throughout, and from tho time when
Mr. Turner's majority became decided the an-
nouncement of numbers was received with enthu-
siastic cheering by the gentleman's partisans.
Many of the voters (Mr. Cobden and Lord Inge,3tre
among the number) came from great distances.
The Liberals seem to attribute their loss of the elec-
tion to the non-fulfilment of pledges in the West
Derby Hundred. In the Salford Hundred, where
the Liberal candidate had a steadily increasing
majority, within 10 per cent. of the pledges given
were pulled for Mr. Cheetham.

upon to give any verdict. Part of the understand-
ing was, that all imputations upon the character
and motives of Mr. Pawle, in reference to this
transaction, should be withdrawn, and other terms
that would have the effect of obtaining a proper
allowance for the lady, and a proper provision for
her daughter.
Mr. Chambers said that he also felt deeply in-
debted to his lordship for the pains he had taken
to endeavour to settle these unhappy:differences, and
he, at the same time, said that it appeared to him
that the arrangement that had been come to was a
most satisfactory one. He also expressed his satis-
faction that all imputations upon Mr. Pawle had
been withdrawn, as he felt convinced that he had
been actuated by none but the strictest feelings of
honour and kindness towards the unhappy lady
whose cause he had undertaken to vindicate.

A juror was then withdrawn, and the cause was
brought to a conclusion.
Mr. Justice Williams got through all the special
jury causes to-day, and both Courts will be engaged
on Monday in trying the remaining common jury
cases.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 16.---There is to particular
proved feeling in the yarn-market, and
change to report since Tuesday. There is an im-
little more business going on than earlier in the
week, but it is nothing considerable, and the cloth-
market seems quieter than ever. Some manufactu-
rersperhaps a
and spinners are rather firmer in their tone,
perhaps owing
to the fine weather, the cheapness
of money, and some increase of activity again in
the Liverpool market. Prices of yarns have not
changed in the least; but the terms offered by buy-
ers are generally lower than those of Tuesday.
warps and bundles far the

is not sufficient demand to test prices. The ten-
dency is towards weakness, and the unfavourable
nOvices from Calcutta and China have further
depressed Eastern goods.

PROLONGING A NUISANCE.

George Whitworth, of Bermondsey, surrendered to an
indictment charging him with causing a nuisance by car-
rying on the business of a manufacturer of fish manure.

Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh
defended.

Mr. Sleigh said it had been arranged in this case that the
defendant should plead guilty, and that he should abate the
nuisance, the only object of the prosecution being to effect
that end.

The defendant was then bound over in his own recog-
nisances of £lOO to appear and receive sentence when called
upon.

NEW COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
FELONY. • indictments
charging Mudd, 19, pleaded guilty to two
charging him with stealing six reams of paper, the pro-
perty of Richard Starkey.

➢ir. Cooper, for the prisoner, said his client was very re-
spectably connected, and nothing could haA e come with
greater surprise upon them than the apprehension of the
prisoner for felony. It was his first offence ; and he trusted,
as the prisoner had told where a portion of the property
was to be found, the Court would take that circumstance
into consideration.

The Commissioner said he was not quite sure that deal-
ing leniently with the prisoner would not have a very bad
effect. A few years ago, had the prisoner been found guilty
of such an offence, his life would have paid the forfeit on
the gallows. Under all the circumstances he should com-
mit him to prison with hard labour for 12 months.

William Homer, labourer, was indicted for stealing a
quantity of brass fittings, weighing 33 lbs., the property of
the Eastern Counties Railway Company.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
. _

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was seen
to leave the company's premises with a bundle in his pos-
session by a lad, an apprentice in the fitting-shop at Strat-
ford. Thinking the parcel contained stolen property, ho
gave information to the police, and the prisoner was taken
into custody. On examining the bundle a large quantity of
brass engine fittings, the property of the company, was dis-
covered.
The foreman of the fittiag-shop at Stratford said the
property stolen belonged to the company. An immense
quantity of metal had of late been stolen, and some men had
been discharged on suspicion of being concerned in robbing
the company.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced
to twelve months' imprisonment.

CONTRACT FOR Rum.—The Government contract
for rum was taken by the undermentioned firms :—Ruck,
Fenwick, and Ruck, 18,140 gals. ; Henry White and Co.,
4,900 gals. ; Howe and Son, 1,600 gals. ; and Alfred Lamb,

Since our last report, no improvement has been observed
in the demand for any kind of English wool. Prices, how-
ever, have ruled about stationary. In colonial and foreign
parcels a limited business has been done, at previous cur-
rencies. At the next public sales, about 90,000 bales will
probably be offered. Last week's imports were 1,134 bales
from Portland Bay, 1,085 Launceston, 1,147 New Zealand,
275 Port Natal, and 165 bales from the Cape of Good Hope.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

The show of foreign stock in our market to-day was
seasonably good, and, on the whole, of fair average quality.
The trade ruled heavy at about last week's currency.
We were well supplied with English and Scotch beasts,
but most breeds came to hand in but middling condition
compared with several previous weeks. The beef trade
was in a sluggish state. Prime Scots, &c., supported last
Monday's currency ; but other breeds were the turn in
favour of the butchers, whose attendance was somewhat
numerous.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,200 Scots, &c. ; from Lincolnshire, &c., 600
short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 various
breeds ; from Scotland, 500 Scots and crosses ; and from
Ireland, 60 oxen, &c. _ _ _

The show of sheep was tolerably good, both as to number
and quality. Prime Downs andj half-breds commanded a
steady sale at full quotations. Otherwise, the mutton
trade was heavy, at barely late rates. The best old Downs
sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. _

Prime lambs changed hands freely at extreme quota-
tions ; but inferior breeds were a dull inquiry. Prices
ranged from 5s 6d to 6s 4d, per Blbs.
We have to report a slow sale for calves—the supply of
which was good, at about stationary prices.
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, on former
terms.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. The trade generally,
however, wes in a sluggish state, but without leading to
any material change in prices. Spring corn was in limitod
request, at barely late rates. Flour moved off heavily, at
fully the late decline.

On the continent both wheat and flour have changed
hands to a limited extent for export. Advices from New
York bring further reduced currencies for breadstuffs.
The arrivals of English produce to our market last week
were limited. The imports, however, were tolerably large,
viz.: 24,436 qrs of wheat, 10,047 barley, 28,426 oats, 4,895
beans, 4,431 peas, 3,250 tares, 11,624 linseed, 4,854 rape-
seed, 2,903 maize, 325 sundry seeds, 11,440 sacks and 20,723
barrels of flour.

Frssh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were much restricted, and the general condition
of the samples was :very middling. Notwithstanding the
fineness of the weather, the trade for both red and white
qualities—although far from active—exhibited a slight
improvement, and the transactions, for the most part, were
at prices equal to those realised on this day se'nuight.
The show of foreign wheat was less extensive. Generally
speaking, the business doing was confined to actual re-
quirements ; nevertheless, the quotations were fairly sup-
ported.

For floating cargoes of grain thero was a moderate de
'nand, at previous currencies.

The demand for barley was in a sluggish state. In
prices, however, no quotable change took place compared
with last week.

Fine malt was scarce, and realised previous rates. Other
kinds, however, ruled dull, at barely stationary prices.
Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions of oats, at
about the rates current on Monday last.
For beans we have to report a heavy demand on former
terms. The supply was mostly confined to foreign qualities.
Peas were a slow sale, and the quotations were rather
drooping.

The flour trade was dull. Country marks and American
barrels changed hands at further reduced rates—say 6d, in
some ls, per sack and barrel.

AMERICA.

By the papers brought by the Australian we
learn that a crisis had at last arrived in Missouri.
Former advices stated that Governor Jack-;on, hav-
ing issued a proclamation in favouroefrieSreaciesLsvioonr;
and joined a body of State troops, G
had gone in pursuit. A telegram, dated St. Louis,
June 18, gives the result :
" The Democrat has a special despatch from Jef-
ferson city, which says that citizens of this place who
have just arrived in a skiff from six miles below
Booneville, bring news that Gen. LS on attacked and
completely routed the State forces fit Booneville, kil-
ling 300 and taking 600 prisoners. Gen, Price was
mortally wounded. The national loss was only 17.
Full confidence is not placed in the news. Colonel
Boernstein is continually sending scouting parties
into the country surrounding Jefferson city. One
company has just arrived, bringing a large number
of kegs of powder, taken from one of Governor
Jackson's secret depots in the interior. The Seces-
sionists of Boone, Holloway, and "Howard counties
are fleeing, and the Union Home Guards are ho-
ginning to organise in these counties. A desperate
effort was made by the convicts to escape from the
Penitentiary today, which was prevented by four-
companies of troops. Six convicts were shot and
several wounded.

The New York, Tribune says the President's
message to Congress, to meet July 4, was approach-
ing completion. It will take strong ground in
favour of the most energetic measures, in order
that the war may be concluded by the next winter.
Half a million of men, and 200 millions of dollars,
are spokedof as likely to be raised.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
?3,:i March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."_..
Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising. from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids' suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

A BRILLIANT COMET.

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

SIR,—At half-past ten o'clock last night, as the
clouds cleared off, I was astonished at the appear-
ance of a comet of enormous proportions in the
North,

Its nucleus is considerably larger than a star
of the first magnitude, with a tail more spread
than that of Donati's which appeared in 1858,
and as long as that at its maximum, although not
quite so brilliant.
It was situated in the constellation of Auriga,
about 10 degrees above the horizon—an altitude
which it maintained during the time of my obser-
vation, viz., 12 o'clock.

The rapidity with which the comet appears to be
pursuing its course may account for its not having
been previously noticed by astronomers.
Should the sky this eveniig be clear, it cannot
fail to excite much interest —I remain, sir, your
obedient servant, C. NORRIS.

Good Words. Edited by Norman Macleod, D.D.

Groombridge, London.
This excellent and well-conducted serial main-
tains its character and interest. It has the unusual
advantages of a religious magazine without profes-
sion or dogmatism, whose religion is of that simple,
earnest, practical kind which alone can guide and
assist the men and women struggling in the work-
a-day world. The stories and miscellaneous articles
are full of interest and attraction, the names of such
writers as Principal Tullech, P. H. Gosse, Dr.
Guthrie, the Editor, and Miss Muloch being sum-
cient warrant. The illustrations are numerous, and
we heartily commend it to all who appreciate plea-
sant and profitable reading.

The Boy's Own Library. Wild Sports of the World.

No. 111.
We have here a little periodical containing much
interesting information of the habits of the lion,
gopilla, and other animals. Many curious incidents
of the chase are related, and the general adventures
are .such as are most likely to interest the juvenile
readers, for whose perusal they are intended.

The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine. Beeton

and Co.

'this magazine, which is a perfect marvel for
cheapness and utility in all those branches of
feminine industry which the sewing machine can-
not supersede, continues in itsusual style. Theflite-
rary contents are worth reading, while the fashions
and patterns for bonnets, eaps, sleeves, and endlesss
pieces of fancy work will present irresistible at-
tractions to all tasteful needlewomen.

The Boy's Own Nagazine.
Is a pleasant little serial, admirably adopted to the
tastes of those it is intended for. In the list of
contents we find " The Wrecic of the Pirate,"
" How to MoCel a Cutter," " Gotta Percha," and
" Cricket." What boy could resist such attractions
when accompanied with numerous woodcuts, and
offered for twopence. !

THE SONG OF JUNE.

(From Eliza Cook's Poems.)
Oh I come with me, whoever ye be,
Come from the palace, and come from the cot ;
The strong and the hale—the poor and the pale—
Ah I sad is the spirit that follows me not.
Old December lighted his pyre,
And beckon'd ye in to the altar blaze ;
He hung up his mistletoe over the fire,
And press'd soft lips upon Christmas days.
Ye welcomed him with his eyes so dim,
But I know ye have more love for me,
When I wander about, and whistle ye out
With my blackbird pipers in every tree.
Oh I come from the town, and let us go down
To the rivulet's mossy and osier'd brink ;
'Tis pleasant to note the lily queen float ;
The gadfly skim, and the dappled kine drink.
Oh! let us away where the ringdoves play,
By the skirts of the wood in the peaceful shade ;
And there we can count the squirrels that mount,
And the flocks that browse on the distant glade.
And if we should stay till the farewell of day,
Its parting shall be with such lingering smile,
That the western light, as it greeteth the night,
Will be caught by the eastern ray peeping the while.
Littlo ones come with your chattering hum,
And the bee and the bird will be jealous full soon
For no music is heard like the echoing Word
Of a child, as it treads 'mid the flowers of Juno.
Ye who are born to be weary and worn

With labour or sorrow, with passion or pain,
Come out for an hour, there's balm in my bower,
To lighten and burnish your tear-rusted chain.

Oh I come with me, wherever you be,
And beauty and love on your spirits shall fall ;
The rich and the hale, the poor and the pale,
For Lady June scatters her joys for all.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the
Princess Helena, returned to Buckingham Palace at half.
past ten o'clock on Saturday morning, attended by Lady
Augusta Bruce, Colonel the lion, A. Liddell, and Colonel
the lion. A. N, Rood,

supported. Beans were difficult to dispose of, and prices
at a decline.

Ambassadors from their residence in the Rue Lord,
Byron, and they left in carriages, with postilions, for
the Lyons Railway Station. At Fontainebleau five
open calelles were in waiting'for them at the sta-
tion. The cortege, after pissing through the town,
entered the Palace by the Cour d'Honneur. A bate •

extent. The non-commissioned officers of the divi-
sion were examined in the sword exercise. About
half-past one o'clock the general took lunch with
Col. Rea, the commandant of the division, the band
playing in the square during the repast. About one-
third of the men of the division were drilled on the
square, about half-past two o'clock.

TURKEY.

La Patric has the following :
"We are in receipt of despatches from Constan-
tinople to the 28th inst.
" His Imperial Majesty the Sultan Abdul Aziz
has just adopted a general measure respecting the
household of his brother the Sultan Abdul Medjid.
"The civil employes belonging to the Palace are
to bo discharged, but will receive a pension in pro-
portion to their rank and time of service. The
military officers and employes will be incorporated
in the Ottoman army. All the women in the
harem who have no children shall be married,
and those who have children shall be suitably pro-1
vided for; the debts of the household will be paid
out of the Imperial purse.
" The Sultan has conferred upon his nephew
Mehemmed Murad Effendi, eldest son of his brother
Abdul Medjid, the title of Pasha, with a suitable
appanage. He has done the same for the other sons
of his brother, two of whom, at their own request,
enter the Military School at Constantinople.
" The civil list of the former Sultans provided by
the State averaged from 70,000,000 f. to 75,000,000 f.
The Sultan Abdul Aziz has decided that 12,000,000 f.
will suffice for the Wants of himself and family, )

dependently of the revenue arising from his own
private property, which is very well managed.

" It is not yet known whether he will inhabit the
Palace on the Bosphorus or the magnificent Palace
of Dolma-Bagtche, built by his brother, but as yet
he has fixed his domicile in a very modest dwelling
of the old Seraglio, close to the Golden Horn.
" The same despatch informs us that Mehemet
Ali Pasha, brother of the Viceroy of Egypt and son-
in-law of the late Sultan, had died suddenly at
Constautinope from apoplexy.
" His Excellency Vely Pasha, Ambassador of the
Sublime Porte at Paris, has been accredited in the
same quality to Madrid, and his Excellency
Musurus Bey, Ambassador at London, has been
accredited in the same quality to Brussels. Both
will enter upon their new functions on and after
the Ist of July."

FRANCE.

The Paine of this evening says:—

" The English frigate Terrible anchored at Con-
stantinople on the 28th inst., after having obtained
from the Porte the firman required by the conven-
tion relative to the States of the Dardanelles."

WOOL.

Since our last report, no improvement has been observed
in the demand for any kind of English wool. Prices, how-
ever, have ruled about stationary. In cclonial and foreign
parcels a limited business has been done, at previous cur-
rencies. At the next public sales, about 90,000 bales will
probably be offered. Last week's imports were 1,134 bales
from Portland Bay, 1,085 Launceston, 1,147 New Zealand,
275 Port Natal, and 165 bales from the Cape of Good Hope.
