come when we might be free to wed each other. The happy
moment has arrived. Why postpone it ? If you love me
as much as ever, why should we not be secretly united,
and await a favourable opportunity of avowing the mar-
riage ?"

" BerauPe such a course would be unworthy of a daughter
of Henry the Eighth," replied Elizabeth, proudly. " A
secret marriage brought little happiness to the queen, your
late consort, and might bring less to me ; but be that as it
night, I will not make the experiment. My hand must be
formally demanded."
" Of whom ?" said Seymour.
"Of the executors of my royal father's will."
"And what answer do you expect them to return ? Such
a demand on my part would be treated with scorn, and I
should be sharply rebuked for my presumption."
" Do you not perceive, my lord, that you are arguing
against yourself ? If your demand is sure to be treated with
scorn by the council and the Lord Protector, ought I not to
adopt a like tone ? Ought I not to treat your offer as pre-
sumptuous ?"

wr-• r •
rincess I" exclaimed Seymour.
"Ought I not to say, ' You forget yourself, my lord.
You are no fitting husband for Elizabeth Tudor, daughter
Of henry the Eighth, of glorious memory, and second in-
heritor of the crown? This is what I ought to say—and
What I shall say, if you continue to urge your insulting
proposition—for such I must regard it—of a clandestine
marriage."
Enough, however, both in the way of comment and
quotation. From what has already been here written
of; and extracted from, " The Constable of the
Tower," it must be evident to all as it is to ourselves
that this, the last of Mr. Ainsworth's historical fic-
tions, is—and we could not possibly say more of it
--one of the worthiest evidences of his Genius as
a Romancist.

ZIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of -England return, completed to the
7th of August, is of a very satisfactory character.
The bullion, owing to the arrivals of Australian
gold and the diminished remittances to America,
has been increased to a moderate extent. In the
Reserve of Notes there is also a small augmentation ;
while an increase has been made to the Government
Securities by nearly half a million sterling. The
ether Securities, by the payments due on the 4th
of the month, have been diminished by over half a
million. ID the Public Deposits there is a small
increase, and the Private Deposits have been re-
duced. The other items of the balance-sheet pre-
sent no material variation ; they will be seen in

PNEUMATIC DESPATCH COMPANY.

The report of the directors of this company states
that extended experiments have established to the
satisfaction of the engineers of the company the
efficiency of the system

power may be conveniently and economically ap-
plied. The directors, therefore, now that the trial of
the full sized tube has shown the efficiency of the
plan, have at once placed themselves in communica-
tion with the Post-office, the railway companies and
other parties, with a view to arrangemc nts for the
immediate construction of the first section of their
1 works. The directors hope that the original plan of
• commencing the works from the Post-office to
IBloomsbury, and thence to the London and North
Western Railway, will be carried out, but they are
anxious before committing the company to any
serious outlay, and to the precise line of their first
operations, to obtain a guarantee, or such arrange.

ST. SiVITHIN'S DAY.

It is commonly supposed, by the public generally, that if
rain falls upon St. Swithin's Day (15th July), it will
continue to fall for the succeeding forty days. In order to
see how near reality this popular superstition comes, the
following is extracted from the Greenwich Observations. of
iLe last twenty years, the fall of rain upon the forty days
following St. Swithin's Day in each year. The particulars
are as fojows :

These figures show the direct contrary to popular opinion ;
and the average of twenty years evidently indicates that
rain tell upon the largest number of days out of the suc-
ceeding forty when St. Swithin's Day was wet, and the
fall of rain at th© same time was very much greater.
Rain fell upon the greatest number of days in 1848, with
a dry St. Swithin ; and the greatest fall of rain occurred in
1852, also with a dry St. Swithin.

THE CAUCASUS.

ago, that the regiment of the Cossacks of Khopersk,
A telegraphic despatch mentioned, a few days
now serving in the Caucasus, had revolted. A
letter from that country gives some details connec-
ted with that fact:—" The Cossack regiments
attached to the Russian army of the Caucasus form
several lines, which are complete military colonies.
They conquer the soil from the enemy, and there
establish themselves, with their families, guarding
their acquired possessions, sabre in hand. The
lines of these military villages are, as a matter of
course, gradually advanced, and as it were, mark
the progress of conquest. Prince Bariatinski
lately, in order to gain ground, ordered such

Cossacks as had no families to make a movement in
advance, and it so happened that it was the Cossacks
of the regiment of Khopersk that were fixed on to
compose the advanced guard, and form a new line.
Those men form a body who have covered them-
selves with glory during the wars in the Caucasus.
This regiment had established itself on the side of
the Kouburn, and the ground being good, they had,
from their skill in agricultural labours, become rich.
That fact had made it the interest of the subordinate
agents of the Government to get them dislodged from
the place where they were, and sent forward to form
the new advanced guard. The Cossacks, however,
heard of the project, and sent a deputation to Prince
Bariatinski to remonstrate against their removal,
but they were not allowed to have an interview of
the General. A promise was, however, given them
that the old men and the fathers of families should
not be sent to form the advanced guard. Soon
after, Prince Bariatinski quitted the Caucasus, and
Count --, who succeeded to the command, gave
orders for all of them to quit their houses and
lands, and march forward. They refused to obey,
and troops and artillery were sent to enforce obe-
dience to the orders of the General. This harsh-
ness roused them to rebellion, and quitting their
families and taking with them only their arms,
they went over in a body and joined the enemies of
the Russians,"

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN A PAWNBROKER'S SHOP.—Ann Smith,
aged 36, Sarah Davis, 27, and John Hadfield, 36, were
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a coat
value 305., in the shop of Mr. George Corner, a pawnbroker
and salesman in Sidney-place, Commercial-road East.
It appeared from the evidence that the three prisoners
entered Mr. Corner's shop, and that Davis said he wanted
to purchase a coat. Several were shown to him by a sales-
eesho.loipa, es
which
sales-
man named Back in the employ of the prosecutor, and all
this time the women were very busy talking and look-
ing at pulling their coats
about,
rustlingngs their
all female
thieves now wear of ample dimensions. The sales-
man missed a coat, and he charged the prisoners
with stealing it. They all very indignantly denied having
things in
th
crinolines
done so, and talked about prosecuting for defamation of
character. The females were transferred to the care of
Miss Emma Corner, the prosecutor's sister, who was about
to search them, when Davis, who was called Hemming,
dropped the missing coat from under her dress. The pri-
soners were given into custody. While they were in the
shop a man, one of the gang, came to the shop door pre-
tending to be drunk, and made a noise to create a diver-
sion and draw the attention of the salesman from the
prisoners. He saw the ruse and was not to be cheated of
his coat. All the prisoners had been in custody before.
The prisoner Davis said she was very sorry for what she
had done. She certainly did steal the coat. She had been
drinking heavily. If she had been sober she would not
have done it.
Mr. Woolrych—That won't de; I don't care whether
you were drunk or sober at the time, intoxication is nu
excuse for crime.
Back said the prisoners came into the shop together and
acted in concert, and that the pretended drunkard made a
good deal of noise at the door.
Mr. Woolrych said he should commit the prisoners sum-
marily. The coat was actually in the possession of one,
but legally of all three. He convicted the prisoners of un-
lawful possession of the property, and sentenced them to
two months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House
of Correction,

THE NAVY.

The Duke of Somerset and the other Lords of the
Admiralty on duty at Plymouth landed from the
yacht Osborne yesterday morning at the Devonport
dockyard. One of the subjects for their decision
will be the proposition to erect a station for a
naval police on the south end of the arsenal.

The Arethusa, 51, which has been several months
in progress at Chatham dockyard, converting from
a sailing ship to a screw steamer, is now completed,
and will be put out of the third dock to-day, when
the Orpheus, 21, 400-horse power, will take her
place to be brought forward for sea.
The Plover, 5, screw gunvessel, is ordered to be
commissioned at Chatham, the order for her to join
the first division of the steam reserve at Devonport
having been countermanded. She is to have a
complement of 60 men, including Marines. It is
understood she is intended to be despatched to the
East India station.

The paddlewheel steamsloop Bulldog, 6, Com-
mander Henry F. McKillop, from Portsmouth, was
coaling yesterday in Plymouth Sound, preparatory
to sailing for the West Indies.
The screw steamship Aboukir, 86, Capt. Charles
F. A. Shadwell, C. 8., was appointed to leave Ply-
mouth Sound yesterday afternoon for Hamoaze.
She is to be docked forthwith at Keyham in con-
sequence of the injuries she sustained in the Ork-
neys, when portions of her false keel and of her
main keel were knocked away. She does not leak
very much now.

By direction of the Controller of the Navy a re-
turn has been prepared of the amount of tonnage
and condition of each of the ships belonging to the
sailing reserve at Chatham which the Lords of the
Admiralty have directed to be sold at that port,
together with an estimate of the value of each
vessel as well as the stores and fittings
which it was not thought desirable to re-
move. The following is the tonnage of each of

qualities realised full rates, but other descriptions were
rather cheaper.
SUGAR.—More activity
has prevailed, but prices in most
instances have slightly given way. In the refined market,
dried goods have also been at easier quotations.
COFFEE.—For good and fine qualities of Plantation
Ceylon there has been a fair inquiry, .and full rates have
been readily obtained i other descriptions, however, have
slightly declined in prices.

fully late prices, only small qualities, however, have been
brought forward by importers.

transacted, and quotations are unaltered.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BRUTAL RUFFIAN.—UNNECESSARY USE OF THE
TRIINCHEON.—MichaeI Neal, a fellow having the appear-
ance of a drayman, was charged with assaulting Mary
Carman, of 4, White Hart-court, Windmill-street, Tot-
tenham-court-road, and also severely injuring an elderly
female by breaking her ribs.
Complainant, who had a delicate infant in her arms,
said she was a distant relation of the prisoner's, and on the
previous night she was at prisoner's place, when a female
with whom he lived came in, and the prisoner then began
making use of bad language. She told him not to do so,
when the prisoner struck her a severe blow in the eye, fol-
lowing it up by striking her a second blow on the head and
then aiming a third at her, but which struck the infant
she had in her arms. (The complainant and the infant had
received severe blows in the eye.) Her mother then got
between them, when the prisoner struck her a blow on the
head and broke some of her ribs. The prisoner had been
drinking. She ran after the prisoner, who tried to make
his escape, and she saw him give the constable a severe
blow, Nearly knocking him down.
Mr. Albert, the agent to the Society for the Protection of
Females, said—As the mother of the complainant was
unable to attend, if a remand were granted he had no doubt
the society would prosecute.

John Seath, 30 E, said, hearing a noise in White Hart-
court, be went up the court, and the prisoner rushed past
him, and the woman came up and showed him her eye. He
told the prisoner he was given in charge, and he then gave
him two deliberate blows, one in the face and the other on
the back of his head, and then ran off. Prisoner was caught
by another constable, and became violent, and he was
obliged to draw his truncheon and strike him on the head.
He had made inquiries and found the complainant's mother
was very bad that morning.

Benjamin Lees, 341 E, said the prisoner tried to kick
them, and then Seath struck him.

Mr. Mansfieldm did you not seize the
man's hands
in
h ( i
you were justified in treat-
ingthe man had evidently received a
a ?t I dotso w S
not
ae y a t
thinkh)h( te ih
very severe blow). I should think that when two constables
get a man there is no occasion to treat him in such a way.
It is a matter that ought to be carefully investigated. I
have known cases where a single constable has risked his
life without using such violence.
Prisoner—Can I see the doctor ?
Mr. Mansfield—Yes ; and you will be remanded for the
attendance of the injured woman.

MARYPORT AND CARLISLE.

The directors of this company intend to recom-
mend to the shareholders a dividend for the last
half year at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum.

HULL AND SELBY.

The report of the directors states that the accounts
for the past half-year show a balance of £32,266 in
favour of the company, out of which they recom-
mend the payment of a dividend of £2 9s. Gd. per
whole or £5O share ; of £1 4s. 9d. per
half or £25 share ; and of 12s. 41d. per
quarter or £l2 lOs per share (less the income-tax
deducted by the lessees), payable on or after
the 30th inst. Several important measures
submitted to Parliament during the present session
have required the attention and care of the board
in protection of the interests of the company. The
directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the
suggestions of their counsel for amendments in
several of the bills were received by the promoters
of them, and discussed in a conciliatory spirit, and
in such bills as have passed the amendments pro-
posed on behalf of this company were, in substance,
eventually consented to and adopted by the Legis-
lature.

mily aperient medicine, and as a purifier of the blood, they
are truly excellent; mild in their operation and grateful to
the stomach, they create appe rite, promote digestion, and
strengthen the whole nervous system. Sold by W. Lambert,
and by most druggists, in boxes, ls. lid., and three times the
quantity in one, 2s. 9d. Be sure to ask for Dr. Scott's Bilious

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 31st ult. has
the following :—" The Sultan is pursuing his work
with activity and energy. The best reformer of the
army is, without contradiction, Namick Pacha,
Minister of War, who possesses much greater in-
telligence than his predecessor. He is, however,
neither fanatical nor superstitious. He has been
reproached with the affair of Djeddah, but that is
wrong, as at the time of the massacres he was at
Mecca, to which city he had been called by im-
portant business. As soon as he heard of what had
taken place he proceeded to Djeddah by forced
marches, at the head of a battalion of cavalry,
and succeeded, but with difficulty, in restoring
order. I must add that Namick Pacha is a man
most devoted to the Empire, that his integrity
is above suspicion, and that if he scrupulously
observes the religion of his fathers, he
can perfectly well appreciate the advantages of
Western civilisation which he had studied in
France, where, for two years, he worthily repre-
sented the Sublime Porte as its ambassador. What
has never yet been seen here before is the nomina-
tion of a Frenchman to the post of military sub-
intendant, which has hitherto been always filled
by a Mussulman. The official journal announces
the appointment in the following terms :—M.
Delonguy (under the Ottoman name of Ala-
Effendi), officer of the Staff and private Secretary,
has just been, by order of the Minister of War,
raised to the rank of (bimbachi), Major and Sub- 1
intendant of the Hospitals of Stamboul (Constan-
tinople). M. Delonguy, as we have already said,
is a Frenchman. He was in the particular service
of General Omer Pacha, and distinguished himself
on several occasions, particularly during the dis-
astrous events in Syria."

Inspector Bicknell said he found. 22 men and 4 women
drinking beer. lie found 15 pint pottles of beer and lof
ale.

Mr. Johnstone said ho denied the t.tharge7of selling beer.
It was true the beer had been sold in his house, but the
circumstances were very peculiar. The beer in question
belonged to a gentleman who was lodging in his house, and
who was proceeding to India. He was taking a farewell of
his friends, and that accounted for the beer being on
the premises. The servant girl knew one of the
witnesses, and to oblige him, as he told her he was thirsty
as he had just come from the theatre, she let have two of
the bottles of beer. The money, however, was given to
the gentleman who belonged to the property.
Mr. Henry said the offence was clearly proved, but he
would -mitigate the penalty from £2O to £5.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 70. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,

ST. STVITHIN'S DAY.

It is commonly supposed, by the public generally, that if
rain falls upon St. Swithin's Day (15th. July), it will
continue to fall for the succeeding forty days. In order to
see how near reality this popular superstition comes, the
following is extracted from the Greenwich Observations of
the last twenty years, the fall of rain upon the forty days
following St. Swithin's Day in each year. The particulars
are as follows :

These figures show the direct contrary to popular opinion
and the average of twenty years evidently indicates that
rain tell upon the largest number of days out of the suc-
ceeding forty when St. Swithin's Day was wet, and the
fall of rain at the same time was very much greater.
Rain fell upon the greatest number of days in 1848, with
a dry St. Swithin ; and the greatest fall of rain Occurred in
1852, also with a dry St. Swithin.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
-I- FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.

Dr. Rhord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at 11s., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout
and Co.

THE NAVY.

The Duke of Somerset and the other Lords of the
Admiralty on duty at Plymouth landed from the
yacht Osborne yesterday morning at the Devonport
dockyard. One of the subjects for their decision
will be the proposition to erect a station for a
naval police on the south end of the arsenal.

The Arethusa, 51, which has been several months
in progress at Chatham dockyard, converting from
a sailing ship to a screw steamer, is now completed,
and will be put out of the third dock to•day, when
the Orpheus, 21, 400-horse power, will take her
place to be brought forward for sea.
The Plover, 5, screw gunvessel, is ordered to be
commissioned at Chatham, the order for her to join
the first division of the steam reserve at Devonport
having been countermanded. She is to have a
complement of 60 men, including Marines. It is
understood she is intended to be despatched to the
East India station.

Tho paddlewheel steamsloop Bulldog, 6, Com-
mander Henry F. McKillop, from Portsmouth, was
coaling yesterday in Plymouth Sound, preparatory
to sailing for the West Indies.
The screw steamship Aboukir, 86, Capt. Charles
F. A. Shadwell, C. 8., was appointed to leave Ply-
mouth Sound yesterday afternoon for Hamoaze.
She is to be docked forthwith at Keyhara in con-
sequence of the injuries she sustained in the Ork-
neys, when portions of her false keel and of her
main keel were knocked away. She does not leak
very much new.

By direction of the Controller of the Navy a re-
turn has been prepared of the amount of tonnage
and condition of each of the ships belonging to the
sailing reserve at Chatham which the Lords of the
Admiralty have directed to be sold at that port,
together with an estimate of the value of each
vessel as well as the stores and fittings
which it was not thought desirable to re-
move. The following is the tonnage of each of
the ships reserved for sale :—The Cleopatra, 26,
918 tons ; the Vestal, 26, 913 tons ; the Tyne,
26, 600 tons ; the Volage, 26, 516 tons ; the Daphne,
18, 726 tons ; the Childers, 16, 385 tons ; the Fan-
tome, 16, 483 tons ; the Comus, 14, 463 tons ; the
Electra, 14, 462 tons ; the Despatch, 12, 483 tons ;
the Kangaroo, 12, 483 tons ; the Frolic, 12, 509 tons ;
the Arab, 12, 481 tons ; the Daring, 12, 426 tons; the
Elk, 12, 484 tons; and the Mariner, 12, 481 tons.

day at the Admiralty :—Miles M. Mayrath, assist.-
surgeon to the Wellesley, for Melville Hospital ;
George W. Locke, assist-surgeon to the Aboukir ;
and Robert E. Fisher, acting assist.-surgeon to the

VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO

PORTLAAD

On Tuesday his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Prussia, the Princess Alice, and
Prince Arthur, visited Portland. The Royal
party lauded at the Breakwater at 1.30, and were
received by Mr. Coode, the engineer of the Break-
water works. Prince Albert, the Prince of Prussia,
and Prince Arthur, with Mr. Coode, proceeded at
once to the works at the Vern, and were met by
Major Nugent, commanding officer of the Royal
Engineers, who conducted their Royal Highnesses
to the batteries in course of construction under the
Cliffs of Portland. Their Royal Highnesses then
ascended the hill, and were met at the entrance
to the Vern Ditches by Captain Buller, in charge
of the convict establishment, the Rev. Mr. Hill,
and Dr. Sidwell. After making a minute inspec-
tion of the extensive works, ditches, fortifications,
and casement barracks now in course of construc-
tion, chiefly by convict labour, the Princes re-
turned to the Royal yacht, and embarked for Os-
borne at 4.30.
