AGONY POINT ; or, The Groans of Gentility.
By the Rev. JAMES PYCROFT, B.A.
"This is a capital story, with an excellent and useful
moral. * * * Mr. Pycroft has, in a series of admirably-
drawn pictures of social life, taught, or we should rather say
illustrated, the wisdom of the Apostolic advice, ' Owe no man
anything.' "—Observer, June 23.
" Mr. Pycroft's former works have already obtained for him
a h gh reputation, which the work before us, with its sound
sense, animated style, and keen perception of the follies and
fallacies of our social existence, will probably increase."—
Sun, June 27.

"The sketches of character and the general remarks
throughout the book are decidedly clever, and Agony Point'
must be pronounced a good novel, both for and of the times,
very good both as regards design and execution."—Globe,

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S •
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus,
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE CHARIIVG-CROSS WATER WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

SIR,—In your paper of Monday you gave an ex-
tract on the subject of the Charing-Cross Water-
works, complaining of the corruption of the water
in the ornamental reservoirs in Trafalgar-square,
and suggesting a remedy. Allow mo to suggest a
remedy far more certain, much less expensive, and
decidedly ornamental. It is, that these reservoirs
should have their bases covered to the extent of one
foot all over, with good strong mold, wherein shall
be planted all the aquatic plants which will bear an
out-door English climate. Then add to the water
gold and silver fish, Crussian carp, &C.
Any naturalist who has studied the aquarium,
will back my assurance that the water will always
remain pure, and explain the reasons why, which I
have not time to do at this moment. I speak not
only from theory, but from practice and experience
also.
In the West Indies, where the water always re-
mained about 80 deg., and the air in the shade
ranged from 90 deg. to say 68 deg. at the lowest,
I built a tank 16 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep,
and filled it as above, and planted it with the Vic-
toria Regia and other tropical aquatics, and put in
gold fish quantum suf. I would sometimes leave
the water unchanged for a month and upwards,
and yet, in such a climate, the water was never in
the least impure. The tank was within four yards
of my sitting and sleeping rooms, but night or day
it was never in the least degree offensive. Pure
water alone in a tub would stink in 48 hours.
Faithfully yours,
July 8, 1861. T. S.

A CENTURION.

There is a tradition, saidb:vo;informrtnt to be preserved
in the family of the Mackenzics of Brahan Castle, to the
following effect :
Many generations ago the male calf of a red deer was
reared as a pet in the nuttily. Though a great favourite
while young and harmless, its popularity gradually de-
clined as its age increased, and its play became rough and
ever dangerous Allowed to roam at large, tearing a silvt r
collar about its neck, as the badge of servitude, it eventu-
ally broke away from this easy thraldom and returned to
its nAive hills. Still, however, less timid than his brethren,
it continued occasionally to be seen, as it crossed the path
of the huntsman ; but the silver charm about its neck pur-
chased for it a compare tive immunity from danger ; the
rifle was never direttA, nor the deerhound slipt against the
former favourite of the castle. But these chance meetings
became less and less frequent, until at length they ceased
altogether • and the deer was either not seen or not recog-
nised any longer.
Some years ago a stag was killed in the forest of Brahan
and the tlesher in cutting open the skin of the thrboat,ofellci
his knife strike against some hard substance
which
not yield to his blade. An investigation laid bare a silver
collar, deeply iinhedded in the flesh, and bearing (44 moony

tion to the effect that the deer had been reared by the Mac-
kenzies of Brahan upwards of a hundred years before.
The whole is written in an off-hand manner with-
out any pretention to grand effect, but open it
where you will something to claim attention will
be found.

A new aspirant for public favour among the
weekly miscellanies of light literature (price 2d.)
has just made its appearance. Beautifully printed,
upon excellent paper, altogether admirably well
got up—it holds out many temptations to the pur-
chaser in the very look of it. What will render it
especially welcome to many a home circle is the
fact of its being Edited, or as the phrase is now-a-
days Conducted, by Charles Mackay, the song
writer. From the contents—which are very varied
—ef this initial number of Robin Goodfellow we
extract the following exquisite stanzas from the
Editor's own hand—certain that they cannot but
be read with delight by every one :

FRANCE.

Yesterday's Moniteur publishes the following
letter from the Emperor to the Minister of the
Marine and the Colonies :

Fontainebleau, July 1, 1861.

Monsieur lo MinisEre,—Since the emancipation of the
slaves our colonies have sought to procure labourers on the
coasts of Africa by way of repurchase, and by means of
contracts assuring to the negroes a salary for the work
which they execute. These engagements are made for five
or seven years, after which the labourers are sent back to
their country gratuitously, unless they prefer to settle in
the colony ; and, in that case, are permitted to reside there
on the same terms as the other inhabitants. This mode of
recruitment, it must be admitted, differs completely from
the slave trade; in fact, while the latter had for its origin
and object slavery, the former on the contrary leads to
liberty. The negro slave as soon as he is engaged as a
labourer is free, and is not under any other obligations than
those which result from his contract.
- _

Nevertheless doubts have been raised as to the conse-
quences which these engagements may have on the Afri-
can populations. It has been asked whether the price
of repurchase did not constitute a premium on slavery. As
far back as 1859 I ordered the cessation of all recruit-
ment on the eastern coast of Africa, where it had caused
inconveniences ; since then I have prescribed the restriction
of operations of this sort on the Western Coast. Lastly, I
have desired that the questions raised by African emigra-
tion should be most carefully examined. To-day I sign a
treaty with the Queen of Great Britain, by which her Bri-
tannic Majesty consents to authorise in the provinces of
India submitted to her Crown the engagement of labourers
for our colonies on the same terms as those observed for

the English colonies.
We ought to find then in India, in the French posses-
sions in Africa, and in the country in which slavery is
prescribed, all the free labourers we have need of. In such
circumstances I desire that the African recruitment, by
way of repurchase, bo completely abandoned by French
commerce from the day when the treaty concluded with
her Britannic Majesty shall begin to receive its execution
and through its whole duration. If that treaty should
cease to exist, it could only be in virtue of an express autho-
risation to this recruitment, and if it was recognised as in-
dispensable and without inconvenience, could be resumed.
You will be good enough, then, to take the necessary
measures for giving effect to this decision from July 1,
1862, and for prohibiting in our colonies the introduction
of negroes recruited on the coast of Africa subsequently to
that epoch. NAPOLEON.

COMMITTAL OF A SURGEON AT BRADFORD.

M the Bradford Court-house OrI11c;da31\11. William
Randall Mackley, surgeon, of Great Horton, was charged
before the borough magistrate with having wilfully made
and uttered a false certificate of the cause of the death of
Martha Curtis, his housekeeper, who died at his house on
the morning of the 26th ult, under circumstances of sus-
picion, which have been already statei in The Sun. The
magistrates consented to accept bail for his appearance.
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—

The continually advancing prices of cotton, together with
favourable news from India and China, have increased the
firmness manifested last week by sellers, and to-day slightly
higher prices are again required ; but buyers decline to
operate, and keep aloof from the market. The day's trans-
actions are small, still producers are steady in maintaining
their quotations.
SHIPWRECK IN THE THAMES.—A small paddle
steamer, the Wonder, yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, when
opposite Greenwich pier, struck upon a large log of wood.
A portion of her keel timbers were knocked away, and water
poured into her hull so rapidly that those on board had no
more than time to escape. The vessel having sunk to the
bottom, the top of her funnel is now only visible above
water.
EXCURSIONISTS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—On
Monday morning
a large party of excursionists left Crewe
for Trentham-park, Staffordshire, the seat of the Duke of
Sutherland. There they engaged in a variety of sports
until about 4 o'clock, when a vi▪
olent thunderstorm came
on, accompanied by torrents of rain and showers of hail-
stones, which in a few moments whitened the entire sur-
face of the park. When the storm began a number of per-
sons, with a degree of fatuity scarcely to be conceived pos-
sible in these days, ran for shelter under one of the noble
elms which stud the park. They had only been there a few
minutes when a blinding flash of lightning, which was in-
stantaneously followed by a terri▪ fic peal of thunder, struck
seven of the party senseless to the earth. The remainder
of those who were under the tree ran awe-stricken from the
spot, and a considerable time elapsed before any one would
venture near. At last some of the least timid approached,
and, on examining the unfortunate people who were lying
on the ground, discovered that one of the group—a young
woman named Roe—was quite dead, and that the remain-
der lay perfectly insensible. They were removed with all
the expedition possible to the Trentham Inn, and medical
aid, after considerable delay, was procured. Some of the
survivors have sustained serious injuries, but it is hoped
that the only death which will result from the fearful acci-
dent will be that above named.
ANCIENT COINS.—Some workmen employed in
felling timber near Whitby discovered a cavity in the ground
which contained 126 silver coins. The shillings were of the
date of Elizabeth and James, &c., and the half-crowns of
the Charles's. They are, of course anxiously sought after
by collectors of coins,

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medicalreader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

POOR ASSESSMENTS (SCOTLAND) BILL

The Earl of CAMPERDOWN presented petitions
against the bill.
The Earl of AIRLIE, in moving the second reading of
the bill, said that at the present time there were no less
than four modes of assessment in force in Scotland,
and the object of this bill was to abolish that system and in-
troduce a system applicable to all descriptions of assessable
property. Under the existing system there were grievances
which it was desirable should be redressed; and amongst
these was the want of efficient representation at the paro-
chial boards. There was also a mode of rating ac-
cording to what had been called " means and substance"
in practice which gave rise to a variety of ineonsistencies
which necessarily impaired the efficiency of the system. In
proof of the popularity of the bill, he adverted
to the fact that the petitions presented to the other
house in favour of the bill exceeded by a large
number thosepresented on any question relative to Scotland
during the present session. He went into some details in
support of the alterations which the bill proposed to
introduce into the existing law.
The Earl of CAMPERDOWN opposed the bill. He
complained that it had been introduced into the other
house by a private member, a course which would not have
been adopted if the bill related to England. He
objected also to the want of a proper inquiry into the work-
ing of the poor law in Scotland preliminary to bringing
forward this bill. The question to be considered was
whether they should make it compulsory on persons to give
up their right of local taxation, to which, for some reason
or other, they appeared to be attached ? He contended that
the provisions of the bill were opposed to the 35th section
of the Poor-law Act. He appealed to the noble lord (Earl of
Airlie) to pause before he pushed forward a measure of this
importance, and to the Government to enquireinto the
working of the existing law in Scotland before they pro-
ceeded to legislate on this subject. The powers which the
bill proposed to confer on an irresponsible body in Edin-
burgh were very wide, and required careful consideration.
After a short discussion, the bill was read a second time,

is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to till their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

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
ter a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1

THE CHARING CROSS WATER WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your paper of Monday you gave an ex-
tract on the subject of the Charing-Cross Water-
works, complaining of the corruption of the water
in the ornamental reservoirs in Trafalgar-square,
and suggesting a remedy. Allow me to suggest a
remedy far more certain, much less expensive, and
decidedly ornamental. It is, that these reservoirs
should have their bases covered to the extent of one
foot all over, with good strong mold, wherein shall
be planted all the aquatic plants which will bear an
cut-door English climate. Then add to the water
gold and silverfish, Crussian carp, &c.
Any naturalist who has studied the aquarium,
will back my assurance that the water will always
remain pure, and explain the reasons why, which I
have not time to do at this moment. I speak not
only from theory, but from practice and experience
also.
In the West Indies, where the water always re-
mained about 80 deg., and the air in the shade
ranged from 90 deg. to say 68 deg. at the lowest,
I built a tank 16 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep,
and filled it as above, and planted it with the Vic-
toria ltegia and other tropical aquatics, and put in
gold fish quantum wf. I would sometimes leave
the water unchanged for a month and upwards,
and yet, in such a climate, the water was never in
offensive.

COMMITTAL OF A SURGEON AT BRADFORD.—
At the Bradford Court-house on Monday Mr. William

Martha Curtis, his housekeeper, who died at bis house on
the morning of the 26th ult. under circumstances of sus-
picion, which have been already stated in The Sun. The
magistrates consented to accept bail for his appearance.
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—
The continually advancing prices of cotton, together with
favourable news from India and China, have increased the
firmness manifested last week by sellers, and to-day slightly
higher prices are again required ; but buyers decline to
operate, and keep aloof from the market. The day's trans-
actions are small, still producers are steady in maintaining
their quotations.
ANCIENT COINS.--Some workmen employed in
felling timber near Whitby discovered a cavity in the ground
which contained 126 silver coins. The shillings were of the
date of Elizabeth and James, &c., and the half-crowns tot
the Charles's. They are, of course anxiously sought after
by collectors of COWS.

GREAT SCULLERS' .111ATC11.

CLASPER AND POCOCK FOR VO ASIDE.
The match between Clasper and Pocock cameoff yester-
day, the course being from Putney to Barnes-bridge.
Clasper having won the toss for choice of station, took
the inside, or the Middlesex side of the river, and at a
quarter-past three the start took place, both men getting o 8
very evenly. Off Searle's Clasper had succeeded in ob-
taining a trifling lead, which he continued to increase,
and in crossing the water he went right a head ;
in doing so he ran a narrow escape of losing the race alto
gether by nearly fouling Pocock.
Clasper gained Hatnmersmith-bridge in two minutes am.
a half, two beats' length a-head of Pocock, and continued
to further improve his lead most materially.
Barnes bridge was reached in 22 minutes and a quarter
by Clasper, who was four boats' length in advance of Po
cock.
Betting at starting-2 to lon Clasper.

The last letters from Halifax state that the
Nova Scotia gold discoveries continued to attract atten-
tion.. In addition to the deposits at Tangier, others have
been found at Margaret's Bay, to the westward of Halifax,
and at a place called Musquodobit, in the interior. Several
specimens were about to be forwarded to England, which
are believed to be above standard. Some of the quartz" at
Tangier is alleged to have yielded 20 ounces to the ton, but
the various statements made are without corroboration from
any one possessing scientific knowledge.
THE CROPS IN NORTH AND EAST YORKSHTRE.—
A. tolerably correct estimate may now be formed of the har-
vest prospects in this district. The hay crop is proving very
light, but where uncut a little extra undergrass is expected
from the late forcing weather and thunderstorms. The
cereals, as a rule, are light, the long drought of the spring
having cramped the plants ; but the crops are otherwise
healthy and promising. The wheat plant is now in full
flower, and a critical period has yet to be passed before har
vest. Some apprehension exists of the ill effects of the
thunderstorms now imminent, and which on Friday and
Saturday discharged showers of rain, hail, and ice over the
\Vold district, where heaviest flattening the crops. A very
severe storm, prolonged over the greater part of the day,
traversed the North Riding on Sunday, being of ate rrific
character along the base of the High Moors. The spring_
sown crops are very short and thin, the best being those
sown late in May. These, however, are backward, arid
must prolong the harvest. In the most forward districts,
corn
crops with favourable weather, the grain harvest is expected
to be commenced in five weeks hence. Though the
are
crops are regarded as below the average beans and peas
everywhere stated to be healthy and of prolific
and the root crops are looking extremely well in promise;
and
direc-
tions. Turnips have rapidly outgrown the ravages of the
ifiy and are now quite safe. Potatoes are everywhere luxu-
riant, and the yield, of the early aorta is large.

a h gh reputation, which the work before us, with its sound
sense, animated style, and keen perception of the follies and
fallacies of our social existence, will probably increase."—
