SHARE LISTS. -...-. _ T C I.IIDAT E VIKING, The railway market to-day generally responded to the improvement of the funds, the upward ten dency being especially observable in some of the heavier stocks and in the afternoon. Actual business remains very restricted, but there is less apparent disposition to sell speculatively than for some time put has been observed just prior to the close of an account. Stock continues decidedly short, and, generally speaking, there is no indication of any im mediate increase in the supply. Meanwhile the public continue to purchase, and though the invest ments are in most cases individually small, the amount of stock absorbed in the aggregate is consi derable. rasn COJDIERCIAL AND MARKETS.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT, BINOIR MIL JUSTICE Caine - WALL AND MIL ' , MICR WILLIAM. WIPRINI Mason, a respectable looking young man, pleaded guilty to two indictments charging him with hay ice forged bank of England notes. Mr. Clarkson, who with Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prcuestion, informed the court that the primmer was eon rued in 180 of passing counterfeit coin, and sentenced to rift months' imprisonment, and he was convicted a second time cf • similar offence in 1831, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Upon the present occasion be bad Passed er • farged notes in the space of eight days, and there was reason to believe that he had for a considerable time bees engaged in these practices. Ms prisoner, who is • cripple, and walks with tintche e i addressed his lordship, and said he had always regard crime with " high disgust," but he had been compelled b poverty and other circumstances to commit the acts with which be was charged. Hr. Justice Cresswell said that the offence of passing forged notes was of the most serious character, and it must be repressed by severs punishment. Ho then sentenced the ?firmest° be transported for 20 years 6 "rfi Clements.: 27, • post-office letter-carrier, was charged with stealing • post-letter, the property of the l'actniuter-General. . It appeared that the prisoner was on duty at the Charing cross branch office on the lith October, end engaged at the sorting table in inning the letters for the different districts. While so employed something occurred which induced one of the poet-office inspectors to watch hint, and the prisoner sriu observed to place me particular letter suds! a bundle of others in his left hand, and he then drew a handkerchief from his pocket, and, after some manteuvriag, he the handkerchief and the letter into his pocket. Ite la r d eas immediately taken into custody, and the letter won bead to hie peseeellen. The joy returned a verdict of Guilty. A SAD STORT.—A boatman on returning to Fa so., is Sleswig, on the 6th inst., reported that he had sighted a vessel at sea capsised ; boats were sent oat in *enroll, and on approaching the hull a tapping was heard. A hole was roads in the bottom, and a young - Englishman discovered in a delirious state, standing up to his cheat in weer. He was taken to Nordby, and cannily tended, but died there on the Bth inst. In hie wanderings he continually repeated the inscription of a medal he wore, " Let every mac de his duty. - It if supposed that the newt had been bound from Hull to Hamburg, and was kst in the storm of the night of 26th September, in which ease our hapless fellew-countryman had been in that piti able position 11 days before he was eztricated. TnE HALF-HOLIDAT MOVEYINT.—A public meet ing of the trades of Edinburgh and Leith was held on Thursday in Brighton-street chapel, to promote the success of the movement for a Saturday ball-holiday and Friday payments. The meeting, which was largely and respect ably attended, was presided over by john Hope, Esq., W.S. Statements were made showing the progress which hail been made in obtaining the half-holiday. Already the building trades enjoyed the privilege, and a hope was ex pressed that, by the countenance and support of the in fluential inhabitants of the city, it would become universal. Resolutions affirming the expediency of restricted hours of labour, and pledging those present to use their best endea vours to effect the desired change, were cordially agreed to, and the int eting adjourned .—Edinburgh AUDACITY OF PERSIAN THlEVE. , .—Account, from the camp of the Persian army state that the audacity of the thieves shows that there exists no system of police whatever. The sword of the commander-in-chief had been earned away from under his pillow. It was a present from the Shah, and was richly mounted with diamonds. One o f th e ministen had his inkstand, seals, and handkerchief taken out of his hand while sleeping; and another chief, high in office, had the gold buttons of his uniform cut off; and the Prime Minister, who was dosing in the afternoon in a chair an his tent, next to that of the Shah, had his gold spectacles Men off his now. The English funds opened this morning at an ad. yam* of 1 per cent.on the closing rates of yesterday, and showed an upward tendency nearly all day, finally closing at a rise of about 1 per cent. The purchases of the public for money continue active, and are increased for the time by the reinvestment of the dividends. This influence, combined with the arrivals of gold, the absence of any fresh unfavour able news of a political character, and the receipt from some parts of the continent of more pacific ru mours, has sufficed, in the present oversold position of the market, to induce considerable buying on the part of late speculators for a fall who are anxious to cover their sales. Further opera. tins for lower prices have at the same time been in spot measure suspended. At the close the market was steady at the advance, and still extremely sus eeptible to any favourable influence, owing to the liwp sausst of speculative stock sold. The Paris *MN et to-day showed little verlatise. Frew Views a further unfavourable movement of the bourns is reported. Consols opened firmly at 911 to 3, and ascended with scarcely a check, to 92 to 5. At the official close the quotation was 92 exactly, both for money and account ; at 4 o'clock, 913 to 92 ; and after that hour, 92 to 3. At the integer, 92, some stock seems to have come to market, there being orders on hand to sell at that limit, but prices, nevertheless, closed firmly. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 1, L 92 ( ;; ditto, for account, 10th Nov., 911, 3,1, , 921, 2. Three per Cent Reduced, 901, i, 4, I, 11, 90/, i.

This last named stock continues to droop. Exchequer Bills remain quoted par to 4s. prem. India Bonds were rather better, at 3s. din. to 3s. prem. The foreign stock market continues inactive, but the tone was better. Mexican experienced a further slight improvement, and Spanish and Sardinian were also better. Granada stocks, on the other band, showed a drooping tendency. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 243 to 25. Spanish Deferred, 213 to 1; the Certifs., 43 to 53 per cent. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 70 to 72 ; ditto Three per Cents., 48 to 50. Granada Active, 19 to 21; ditto Deferred, 71 to 1. Russian Five per Cents., 11l to 113 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 96 to 97. The list of sales includes the undermentioned stocks, viz.:—Brazilian Five per Cent. Bonds., 1829 and 1839,,98. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 62, 5; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 93. Mexican Three per Cents., 241, 3; ditto for account, 28th Oct., 243, 25. Russian Five per Cents., 1111; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 961, 97; ditto Small Bonds, 963, 973. Sardinian Five per Cents., 92. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 211, a ; the Passive Bonds (Converted), 43, 5 per cent. Money continues plentiful, and the tendency of the market to-day was rather in the direction of increased ease, although there is still a decided in disposition to lead money for long periods. The Lady Elgin has arrived from Melbourne, which port she left on the 14th June ; bat the amount of gold on board is not yet known. It appears the Thalia and the Duke of Richmond have no gold on freight. The gold brought in from Australia by the Eagle and Charlotte Jane, amounting in the aggregate to about 393,0001., h as reached London. Shipments of the precious metal to the continent still go on, but the demand is languid, and, under existing cir cumstances, the greater proportion of this large arrival will, in all probability, be presented for pur chase to the Bank of England. The undermentioned steads with gold on board, are known to be on their way to England from Australia, viz.: Name. From. Sailed. board. Ounces. Surge Sydney July 1 6,320 American Laic—Sydney July 1 6OO Port Wallane......Geelong....July 2 10,108 Royal Georp.....Geolong....July S is,as Gold on Total ounces 33,423 The Bengal, which put into Rio, leaky, has also 25,000 ounces on board. This shows a total of 58,423 ounces, worth 233,6001. Two steamers are also pro bably on their way home, with further supplies of gold. There was no material alteration in the quotations of foreign exchange to-day, except on Amsterdam, bills on which place continue in demand, at the lower rate of 11.17 for 3 months' paper. Business generally was limited. Bills on St. Petersburg were offered at 3734 d., being a slight decline. Paper on Vienna and Trieste remain nominally quoted at 11.20 to 22. The remainder of the bar silver brought in by the steamer La Plata has been taken, chiefly for India and China, at the price last reported, viz., ss. 13d. per ounce standard. Very large amounts of silver have for some time past been forwarded to Loudon, as the produce of the English silver-lead mines, and are then despatched to the east. There are also very heavy imports of the poorer ores from the silver mines of South America and elsewhere, which, although hitherto regarded as unworthy of the cost of tran sport, are now smelted to a considerable profit in London. In fact, quite a new branch of business is springing up in this way. The British and Colonial Smelting and Reduction Company, lately esta blished, is carrying on a large business in the smelt ing of these silver ores. At Hamburg two mercantile failures are reported, owing to the continued fall in stocks and shares, in which they were largely interested. Being old established houses, their failure was much regretted, and had produced an unfavourable impression, in Hamburg and Berlin. The feeling in the corn trade to-day was firm, but the high prices demanded by importers and holders check the disposition to buy. Land shares to-day were better supported, Austra lian Agricultural and South Australian advancing V. per share. Peel River were also better. Bank shares were firm, and Australasia advanced 11., and London and Westminster Bank 10s. per share. Crystal Palace shares slightly rallied, being last quoted 3 to 4 prem, and for the new issue 3-16 to 7-16 prem.

THE LATE DONOBO CORTF.B.—A Madrid journal publishes an account of the will of the late accomplished senator and ambassador, Donato Cones, Marquis de Valde• games. It appears that by this testament, dated December 23,1848, he directed 20,030 reale to be employed in saying masses for the tepee of his soul and in good works. The will contains the following passage :—I recommend to all my family, and especially to my brother Don Francisco, to consider, as their sister and their own children, the widow and children of our defunct brother Don Pedro, and that the latter shall endeavour to follow the path of their father, who lived the life of the just and died the death of the saints. His life and his death have been the perpetual sub ject of my tears, and I still mourn over his memory. I do not, however, render ts him all that I owe : his prodigious virtue, after the grace of God, operated my conversion, and, with the Divine mercy, his ardent prayers will open to me the gates of Heaven. I expressly turbid all ostentation at my funeral ; let vanity content itself with its empire over the living, and Ist it leave the dead in peace—l expressly forbid, in the celebration of my funeral, . profane and voluptuous music, such as has chanted out temples into theatre,. THIS DAY.—Two o'Ctocx. The railway market to-day has been sensibly better, in sympathy with the advance in Consols, and sti mulated by the scarcity of stock indicated by the settling, which has now commenced.

A WIFE KILLED BY lIER HUSBAND AT LEEDS.- In .the Express a few days ago there appeared a para graph giving the particulars of a case in which a green grocer, named John Robinson, was suspected of having killed his wife. The case has since been under the inves tigation of a coroner's jury, who yesterday (Tuesday) after noon returned a verdict of manslaughter against the hus band. VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE CRIMEA.—The Ga zette of the Academy of St. Petersburg publishes the re port of a M. Begitachef, on the recent eruption of a volcano, near Taman, in the peninsula of the Crime►. The author of the report states that while crossing over the Strait of Taman from Kirch with some workmen, early in the morn fag of the 6th August, they saw a flame accompanied by a thick vapour rising from the summit of the mountain of Korabetoff, situated about four vents ithree Eng;ieh mites) from the town of Taman. The sky was clear and the tem perature mild at the time. In a few minutes the column of fire and smoke had reached a great height, ana remained in that state for five or six minutes. Two other eruptions followed at short intervals, but with less viatenee than the first. This volcano had remacoed tranquil far et least 3a years. Immediately on landing M. Evatitschef and his men proceeded towards the mountain, h they reached at 10 o'clock. At about 700 yards from the fast of it they found a mass of black mud spread on the ground to a con siderable depth, which had been thrown cut by the erup tion. The crater made a whistling neise, similar to that made by an engine when letting elf its steam, evil which at times became so violent as to somewhat alarm the Frty. The groundwas cracked in different directions, and round the fissures the grass appeared perfectly e:.laitied. and in seve ral parts had caught fire. The et lasted altogether about three hours. ce.

PE.NsioNs.—The dispensations of the mysteriour Providence that watches over pensions puzzle us. A letter in the Times of yesterday draws attention to the fact that Mrs. Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd's widow, and three " bonn.e lessee," the Eltrick Shepherd's daughteii need the notice of those in "high quarters." "Sir Francis Head, Lett.," him 1001. a year from her Majesty, in eenseivation of his not invaluable services to literituri:, and in spite of the fact that he is not, Ike el. se whom poor Hogg has left behind him, tota.ly unprovided for ; and the widow of Joseph Train—w iteever homey have been—has hers ; but Mrs-Hogg, it appears,. is too old to push her claims in person ' and boo no intiefaugahle friend in power to sue for the hale pt alien for herself nt:d her daughters with which the niggard bounty of the Crown recognise' deputed genius, and pays its revel tribute to real greatness. Lord Aberdeen should think of the, and let Scottish nationality triumph over Scottish musitczay. Lady Nicolas we are glad to :earn, has at leeeth been remembered. A pension of 1001. a year, not extending, we regret to had, ever the lifetime id any of her numerous family, has been granted her in recognition of the devoted labours of of Sir Harris so long and so enthusiastically toiled in a field of labour never likely to be pecuniarily productive. This, however, comes too late to look like an act of grace, and appears, when we consider the date of his death, rather as if conceded to influence in " high quarters " than as c; prof fur d is lamest generosity to an unquestionably worthy re cipient. Qutucey's name is nog published in the pen sion-list. When will it be ? We suppose the pr perly constituted authorities are investigating his claim., and will look through his works some day. Meanwhile, they are studyitm the publications of Mr Train, and buy.ng up at sicced h ind booksellers (where they may be ha- very reuouabiy) those of Sir Francis Head.—Leader. CHANGES IN THE CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT.—Mr. P. Pennines, surveyor-general of Customs, has retired from the public service. Several promotions to high offices in the department will take place in consequence of this geutle man's retirement. _ _ _ SUICIDE at LEEDS.—A female named Fisher, for many years a professional vocalist in Leeds, has committed suicide by hanaiog. She had previou'ly been iu a do sponding state of mind. THE BREAK-DOWN OF THE. DESPATCH MAIL BOAT.—The Governor-General of Jersey has written to Captain Babot, the commander of the mail steams.? Des patch, which was nearly lost last week off Jersey, stating that it was reported that the shaft whicn broke was in au unsafe state before sailing, and demanding an explanaion. Captain Bohm hu replied that the accident which oc -weed was ths emitting of the intermediate shaft at two different places, ate bo!ng under the strap of the eccentric of the starboard engine and the other close to the other etc• citric, destroyiar a: the same time both eccentrics : that ai.er the accident a fl isr was discovered in the slia't which h...i been covered by the eccentric, and could not have been ,aercep tible before. or it would have been discovered by the sur veyors of the Admiralty, those of the Board of Trade, and his own engineer. Captain Babot assures his Exc. Ilency that if he were aware of any defect in his ship's macnincry, he would never put to sea and expose his own life and the lives of his nassengen and crew to (larger. THE WALRV`.—A scientific gentleman here (Wick) has favoured us with the following extract from a letter, received by him from • friend in Peterhead:—'• I have little news here to give you of strange matter, execp'ing the arrival. per the Commerce, Henry, from Spitrberg' is, of a young stranger. in the shape of a walrus, or sea-horse, all alive and healthy. They brought two away, a male and female, both young . : the male was killed somehow. It was the practice to give them • bath daily, by potting them over board with a rope round them, and it was thought the male had struck himself against the shin while "oda, water. as he eaaie up dead. The other is to be sent to one of the Zoological Guslens in Lietdon or Edinburgh. The pleasure I had in looking at this curious, ugly, but very likes` le creature was noised with regret that you were not present to see it too. I had seen many pictures of them, hut never felt before how inadequate any picture is to glee acv one a correct idea of (not tee form) but the manners and customs of an animal they never saw. It is in vein for me to try to describe it; tut the first th . hg that struck me was the illustration it aff Ads of the slung of one specie? of ac:mal into another dissimilar ; for II) two animals can be more unlike than a fish nnd a co a, yet this one is like each, and it is difficult to say which it 's most like. I had a notion that the walrus was a ferocious brute, but this creature is gentle and affectionate, answers to the name of Toby, and knows the voice of the captain and mate, whom atone it will obey sod follow like a dog. On the voyar home it fed on the fas of pork chiefly ; now it gets fish. limpets, and mussels, which it sucks in with great gusto It elves a short loud grunt, something between the in reply to t .c cap ya v p i i s r l't to it, I put my face snorttain whenef ah h oee erpa. speaks the grunt t erun o t n o m f to its face to no its expression, end it turned round to me with as much seeming intelligence so a collie dog, to see what I had to rice it or say to it, and thee left me for the captain, who wan calling it to him, and when it got its mouth close to his leg, it seemed contehted.—Jolt's o'Groat Journal. OR?Gtar or " CLIPPER" AS APPLIED TO VEssus (v,a. vtii., p. 100).-1'or many years the fleetest sailing vessels built ih the United States were constructed at Bal. timere. They were very sharp, long, low ; ant tit. tr masts were inclined at a much greater angle than usual • ith those in other vessels. Fast sailing pilot boats and schoenen were thus rigged ; and in the last war wilt. Bu tane]. privateers of the Baltimore build were universally famed for their swiftness and superior sailing qualities. " A Baltimore clipper" became the expression among ship builders for s vessel of peculiar make ; in the coo ffruction of which. flaetress was considered of mare importance than a carrying capacity. When the attention of naval archi tects was directed to the construction of swift sailing ships, they wore conr,.elled to adopt the clipper shape. Hence the title " Clipper Skip," which has now extended [rote America to Bnaland.—Notes and Quoin. " - SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. —*- Traffic receipts for week ended Oct. les. 1953, 8141. as.
