Sergeant Sand of the detective force, repeat- ‘ed the evidence given by him yesterday. The let- ters produced were handed to him by the Commis- sioners of Police, with instructions to apprehend the prisoner. Witness found that he had been residing at No, 4 Sherrard place, carrying on the business of | a tailor, but he leit London directly on ascertainiag ‘that inquiries were bein. made about him. Witness found that he had goxe to Southampton, and appre- hended him there on Sunday night. He admitted having written the letters, and expressed his regret at having done eo. Mr. Jardine directed the interpreter to admixister the usual caution required by the English law, and to ask if he then wished to say anything in auswer to the charge. The prisoner said that he bad been for a long time Suffering from ill healt's, which occasionally affected his intellect. He had been an inmate of the hospital at Southampton, where bis hair was partly shaved off. Under these circumstances, and for the sake of his wife, he implored the mercy and consideration of ‘the court. Mr. Jardine committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial, offering to take bail—himself in £100, aud two sureties in £50 each—if procurable. ‘Winds and Currents—L:cture in Liverpool by Lieutenant Maury, [From Wilmer & Smiih’s Eurovesn Times, August 6.) Upon this subject. Licut. Maury, who has recently airived from America, under tlie auspices of the American government, delivered a lecture in the Tewo Hall last evening. ‘There was a very considerable number of mer- haunts and other gentlemen present. The Mayox took the chair, and after having made some appropriate observations, called upon Lieutenant Maury, who stated that he was glad to have the opportunity of speaking to them, as merchants of Liverpool, on this subject. The ques- tion on which he was now addressing the merchants of Liverpool was commenced several years ago in the United States, and the object was to give, from observation, that information, whizh they themselves seed, to other parties. In reference to this matter, the British government, in the year 1851, | in reference to the then minister at Washiugton, instructed that minister to call the attention of the government of the United States to a plan of meteorological observations. The honorable gentleman showed that by the advice of the goverument in England, the advice given to the American government had been acted upon. The lecturer continued, to the effect that he ‘was commanded by his government, who had en- had scqnired considerable activity, although im artieloa it was obecked by seked, to which purchasers hesitated to mit A portion of the corn within thirt pice bnee sore re meet rae weat # aN time, the corn harvest in this me Pp! healthy, and promise an average crop of grapes, Whilst in others the blight is very Srevalent The sums paid into the Paris savings banks during the week ended July 30, amounted to 657,805t., from 5,689 depositors, of whom 747 were new. amount drawn out was 426,216f. The receipts of the caisse de retraites were 85,212f., from 161 new depositors. : A letter from Leghorn, of July 26, says:—*The Grand Duke of Tnscany seems determined to set an example of ieishd oy the other States of Italy in railway matters. He has just accorded the conces- sion of the line from Florence to Arezzo to Messrs. Gandell Brothers, engineers, of London, Paris, and Florence. This railway, which runs directly north and south in Tuscany, will eventually connect the north of Italy with Rome, and will, with other lines now in the course of execution, constitute the great central railway of Italy. Various branches from this centrai line will communicate with the porte of Genoa, Leghorn, Civita Vecchia, &c., and will, in fact, throw open the whole of the northern part of the penissula of Italy.” From the returns just published in Paris, it ap- pears that, from the opening of the season to the end of June, the quantity of beet root su; manufac- tured in France amounts to 86,266,470 kilogrammes, against 73,972,760 kilogrammes at the correspondin, peed of last year, being an increase of 12,292,711 kilogrammes in favor of 1863. The quantity deliv- ered to consumption was 70,471,494 kilogrammes, 8,766,067 more than last The quantity re- maining in stock on the 3 June was 14,793,976 kilogrammes. Constantinople, from its admirable situation on the Bosphorus, is the key of Asia, and the principal entrepot of the Levant. The movement of naviga- tion in 1846 amounted in that port to 2,667,000 tons. Out of this number the English flag reckonod for 506,000 tons, the Austrian for 284,000, the French for 70,000, and those of Sardinia, Naples, Tuscany, &c., for about 400.000; the remainder belonged to the coasting trade. From these details an idea may be formed of the interest which the powers of the West must find in preserving such an advantageous market, and which will go on increasing as the peo- ple of the Kast improve in civilization. It is more than doubtful whether European commerce would enjoy the same advantages if Constantinople were to fall into the jealous and rival hands of Russia. The Court ot Assizes of Friburg has just delivered its judgment against the persons compromised ia the insurrection of the 22d April. Col. Perrier, the Cure Delley, and MM. Jean Carrard, Morard, Joseph and Jacques Perroud, and Jean Marchon, who were declared guilty ot Ligh treason with extenuating cir- comstances, have been condemned, the two first to thirty years’ banishmert, and the five others to four years’ imprisonment, this not being their first offence. All the others, to the number of 168, were declared not guiity, and ordered to be set at liberty. M. Arago, Perpetual Secretary of the Frenoh Academy of Sciences, who had found himself better since bis return to Paris, had, on Saturday, July 30, asked for the letters of the week, hoping to be able to see what they contained for the next public sit- ting. He was, however, obliged to send word that be bad presumed too much on the improvement which bad taken place,and that he would not be able to attend the sitting. There appears to be no doubt, however, that the illustrious astronomer’s health is somewhat better. The Bedouins. says Mr. Layard, are acquainted with few medicines. The deserts yield some valua- ble simples, which are, however, rarely used. Pr. Sandwith, hearing from Sutton that the Arabs had no opiates, asked what they did with a person that could not sleep. “Do!” answered the Sheikh; “we can use him. We set him to watch the camels.” Miss Warner, the author of the “Wide Wide World,”’ has been handsomely treated by the London publishers of her works, two of whom have sent her large sums as her share of the profits of their sale in England. One noted publisher bas made her a standing offer of a thousand pounds sterling for any- thing she may choose to write. According to a Parliamentary return, the esti- mated number of volumes in the library of the British Mugeum is 510,110. The London Times states that the great Aus- tralian nugget lately exhibited at Mr. Wyld's Globe, in Leicester Square, has been melted and sold by Messrs. Huggard & Pixley, bullion brokers, for £5,532. Its weight before melting was 1,615 ounces; and it yielded 1,319 ounces of fine gold, equal to 1,423 ounces standard. One commercial house in Limerick, Ireland, has contracted for the supply of breadstuiis to the French government to the amount of £250,000. It is said that the ex-Queen Christina, of Spain, is about to visit the ex-Queen of France, at Claremont, England. gaged all the naval powers of Hurope to meet him on the question of meteorolozical observations, to dis- cuss that question in a conference which was to take | place in Brussels on the 23d of this month. Jn the | meantime, he had been requested by the United | States government to p! before the shipowners of ‘Liverpool the benefits of his discoveries. What he had to present betore them involved no new theory, ut merely a practical benetit to all shipowners. Mr. Maury then went on to show that there was no new thory in his proposition, and from the observations he made, it wi pareut that the latitude and the longitude hi at deal to do with the weather, and was beneficial, or otherwise, to those who in- dulged in it. The pith of the lecturer's observa tions amounted to this—thut during certain seasonsin- the year the winds blow in a certain direction, and that by a series of experiiwents which be (the lectu- ae had had brought before him, this theory had been indisputably proved. Licutenant Maury proved that the way in which he established his rinciple was, not hy any new idea or theory, but yy a combination of the united experience of cap- tains, showing how the winds blow in different months. ‘The fact was, there was no theory at all, and he did not claim any benefit from it. His prin- ciple was simply in the ab-tract. Lieutenant Maury, in continuation, proved thot what he had been stating resolved itself into making short passages, and commended his observations to the merchants present. After some observations from Mr. Towson, who re- plied toa somewhat personal observation from Lieu- tenant Maury, Joszrn Ewarr, Esq., proposed a vote of thanks to Lieutenant Maury, which was seconded by Mr. ¥. Shand, and the vote was passed unanimously. Mr. M'I'1x then proposed a motion directing the attention of the British government to the question. The motion haying been seconded, was passed unanimously. The proceedings then terminated.

The proof sheets are now preparing, and the works will appear in their now form ina few yaonths. The Staats Courant, of the Hague, announces, Officially, that by decree of the 30th ult. the com- of the railway from Aix-la-Chapelle to Macs- Pecit has been authorized to establish a railway from Maestricht to the Belgian frontier, in the direction of Hasselt. A letter from Messina, in the Piedmontese Gazette of the 30th ull., states that four urns fall of Greek brone coins, of the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries before our era, have been found at Taormina, close 0 the spot where the column of Naxos, erected 734 years before Jesus Christ, formerly stood. ‘Uhese wins have been sent to the Museo Borbonico at ¥apies.

The Rennies are doing great things with their disk steam engine, and have builta number of vessels on this principle for foreign traders. There are some of them running on the Danube, where they make a voyage of 1,200 miles down the stream in sixty hours. The great ad ge ofthe disk engine is, that it gets “ full duty” out of steam, and thus effects an importantsaving. I% is, however, more used on the continent than in England. A model of this engine was exhibited at a late meeting of the United Service Institution of London. M. B. Larsky, the engincer, lately deceased, who had also acquired a reputation as a poet and an urchiaologist, made a discovery of the greatest im- portance in White Russia, a discovery brought to light when his papers were examined, after his de- cease. Being occupied in making a road in that province, he found it necessary to draia off the wa- ters of the lake into another lake at a lower level, and in the course of the operation he discovered in a forest, several feet below the surface of the soil, a aved in the antique Roman and Mexican style, with traces of a stone bridge of a peculiar construc- tion. In M. Larsky’s opinion, 2,000 or 3,000 years must have elapsed before the face of the country could have been transformed to such an extent as he observed; and if this supposition be well founded, this district must have been inhabited before the time of the Scythians by a more civilized nation. M. Larsky’s discovery will, doubtless, not pass unnoticed, and may lead to important results. The Moon’s Movements ail Wrong. {?rom the Lovdov Court Journal, July £0 | Mr. Adams communicated to the Royal Society at the closing meeting of their session in London, that he had discovered that the principle of Laplace's calculation of the secular motion of the moon is posi- tively erroneous. This is a discovery which affects the whole range of lunar astronomy, seeing that all the culculations made on the assumption that the moon really was inthe place assigned to her, are wrong. A staffof computers will therefore have to be set to work at the Observatory, to recompute the lunar observations, avoiding the error, which amounts to about seven seconds. We shall then have the means of rectifying our Nautical Almanac, and of making it more accurate than ever; while those astronomers, and they are not a few, who have written about an- cient eclipses, will have to go over their task again, and see what they make of it with the new principle. It was said shortly after Mr. Adams's discovery of Neptune, that such aman would find other great works to do in astronomical science, and here we have an invaluable confirmation.
