At this theatre a dramatic seam lest night. The speciality is the engagement of Mr. G. V. Brooke, who opened in Othello. We believe that Mr. Brooke's performance of that character is not new to the London stage, but that it took its tarsi with other represen tations during his former eagigements in town. If so, doeibtlem, this delineation met with the careful criticism and due observance, which we remember et that time his provincial fame naturally elicited, and it is hardly worth while now to enter into • disquisition on the well-known ►endering of this part by • gentleman, who is, If one is to judge by his reception of last night, • decidedly "popular" tragedian. It will perhaps suffice to say that he seemed in extellent health and the fullest vigour, that he was enthusiastically, nay tu multuously, welcomed on his first coining on the stage, all the points he made received the most hearty applause, and he was twice called hetes a t►e curtain, so t►at his ap pointee* resulted in something like an ovation. Mr. Davenport was the logo, and • very picturesque-looking, intelligent, and effective logo he made, taking care to steer jedicionsly elearofthe usual mistake of letting the " villany" be transparent even to his dupes. Deedemona was played ►y Miss Anderton, who was feminine, int ing, and ex pressive, and very neat besides, while at the proper Dear sins vibe was quite as powerful as en " gentle " • lady eight to be. It was a performance worthy of all credit Of the rest of the characters, with the exception of the very effective rendering of the little part of Brabantio by Mr. George Bennett, there is nothing to be said, except what one does not wish to say of persons who ars doing their best to please. After all, Kw enactment " Othello "at any theatre now, s-days is flying at very high game, and it would be unfair not to shalt that, all things considered, there was a good deal of merit la the way it was produced last night. There could be so doubt of its effect on the audience, who were mast attentive, as well as epplausive. The after-piece wait a sew barkeep'. sanded The /014RitliSS of Dowdy. It is, of eourse,foinaded on • fairy tale, the name or the author of w►ic► we anal remember ; but there is, es usual, an 'beard old king, • bad joker on current event•, who has • liesetiful daughter to marry, and who is wooed by a orals " King Pretty," who, despite his charms of bee sod mind, is cursed with a humped•back and other deformities, and can't get the love of the Prattle is that guise; so he starts off through a MRS of adventures to find • certain " fountain of beauty," which is to do the needful with the unnecessary appendages to his shoulder,.

All this is trite enough, but as the burlesque part is not very dull, the cheeses rich, the scenery Italy beautiful and tasteful; and as a Miss Featherstone makes a delightful " King Pretty," and sings parodies ea popular songs with en admirable voice and much skill, aid the working of the wise ee scene went quite smoothly, although it was a first night, the production was unques tionibly successful. The house was filled to overflowing, with a cap.tally good•humoured and appreciative audience, and in every respect last night was a cheering initiation of the season, and augured well (or its prospects. TUE sIIOEMAKERE STRIKE AT DEI"O\POR T. Mr. William Reed, of Muket-atreet, Devimport, one of th. most extensive employers in the welt of Einit. load, and who, in consequence of the late strike of his work. people, has hero advertising for 200 hoot and shoemakers, has put forth the following statement relative to the shoe makers' strike. lUntlerst.d a general canvass of this town and neigh hourho.d has been set on foot for subscriptions to assist those of the shoemakers who hare thought proper to strike Tee k with a view of obtaining a higher rate of remunera tion fur their craft. They solicit aid under the pretence that they are cruelly treated and imposed on by their em ployers, whim they represent as men caring for nothing but to get ea much work u poseil:de out of their workpeople at the lowest remunerating prices whilst they put immense profits into th e i r own pockets. This is both unjust and untrue, and as the men have thought proper to mike false statements relative to their wages, I beg to inform the public, sir, through the medium of your paper, that the amount of wages paid to the sober and industrious shoe- Laken in my employ has ged from his. to 245. per week through the year, and for the I .st ten years. This is a fact, and any respectable person who may feel interested in the subject is at liberty to inspect my wages book for the period I have mentioned. It is true that some men do en- earn more than els. 10s., or 12s. per week, but these are either inferior workmen, idle and given to intempe rance, or have not served a regular apprenticeship to the Ind". The rate of wages employers now pay is as good and better I believe than it war Meaty years since, notwithstaading that boots and shoes have fallen in prico from 20 to 35 per cent. bet nevertheless I should be glad, and other employers, I believe, would be equally so, to advance the wages of the I men, but cannot do so under canting circumstances to com pete with a similar class of goods manufactured elsewhere. The price of leather is advanced from 30 to 100 per cent. and if masters in this locality were to comply with the demand of the strikeout' they would be compelled to raise the prim of their spode, aid the effect of this would be to ruin the wholesale trade of the three towns, and, in fact, drive large dealers to other markets. At present the rate of wimps paid here ie as good, and I assert it boldly. as that ?lid in must of the large manufacturing towns. Trusting the few (sets shove stated will commend themselves to a discerning p.th'te who should cot countenance or support a set of men who desire to impose on their generosity."

Yesterday evening a public meeting was held at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge, to hoax an expla nation of the final settlement of the cheap gas question by the several companies; Mr. J. THRA ITER in the chair. The CHAIRMAN slid the meeting had been called to bear an explanation of the position of the Surrey Gas Con *mann' Association, and the course it had recently taken for the attainment of the object for which it we/established. The association was originally formed, not for the purpose of waging a reckless war against existing companies, but simply on the principle of self-defence. In its formation the promoters unavoidably incurred great responsibility ; bat they rellel on the promises of support which they re ceived from the inhsbitants of the district. Ile regretted to say, however, that after the arociation had been formed many parties who had pledged themselves to support it almost went the length of denying their own signatures. (Hear.) Nut one in twenty who pledged themselves to take the gas of the association redeemed their pledge what ap plied to; and he regretted to say that High -street, South wark, was msst conspicuous for this breach of engagement; while Deptford —a comparatively poor district—bad sup ported the company, although an old company in the Bo rough offered gas at a lower rate. There had been nunoun of late that tho trustees of the Consumer's Association bad sold the inhabitants; and, strange to say, the men who had bees moat active in circulating this statement, were those who had falsified their own pledges. He had very great plea sure in stating that the new company had not told itself. (Cheers.) The companies would remain perfectly distinct; all that the new company hal consented to was the forma tion of districts. Wnen • proposition for districting WY made by the old companies, the trustees replied that any arrangem-nt of that kind must be accompanied with coo taro conditions, as they could 12.. t consent to sacrifice the In terests of the consumers. They stipulated that if there coals reee W e veep high price, if , were any inerease, ie the we of materials, or freight or labour, the price should ►e fired upon the basis of 1802. In 1852 the cost of cool, freight, and labour, was at a cer tain point ; and gas having tnen been sold at 4s. per thou sand, should the cost have increased in 18.54, 1855, 1856, or 1860, • proportionate amount was to be charged. Could anything be more honest or straightforward than gull an artinaspancut f (Herr, h►er.) With this .aceptinn, the three old companies had entered into • guarantee not to raise the price of gas above 4s. per thousand ; and they bad also agreed that two officers should be ap pointed to inspect the quality of the gas, and to cor rect the measurement. This arrangement applied to all the town districts, and, as it - appeared to him, effected a settlement of the whole question oo a permanei.t basis. The only partite who could possibly be injured by it wen thaw who bad entered into temporary contracts for the supple of gas at 36. or 36. Gd. Such parties now had staring them in the face the earful fact, that they would probably be obliged to pay for their gas the same prim as their neighbours. (Laughter.) Mr. HILL, of Lambeth, moved a resolution, declaring that the meeting, having heard from the chairman a f.O and satisfactory statement of tee recent gement taste by the several gas companies, considered that arrangement calculate Ito afford permanent advantage to the consomme at large, nd at the same time • fair and equitable retain for the eapiial invested ; and that the thanks of the en e sumer' were due to the trusteis for the care with whisk they had guard, d the interests of the consumers. (Chien.) The resolution was carried unenimosoly. Mr. BAILIT moved that the names of the persons whis bad broken their pledges to the new company ehould b. published. The CHAIRMAN deprecated such a step as tending ta smite ill feeling ; and oh-erred that the feeling manifested by the meeting WAS a sufficient punishment After some discumism, the resolution was altered to send disapprohation, ad la that form was carried. The proceedings tonaiestal with • vote of thanks to tie chairman. TUE RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS THE TAMAR AT SALTASH.—The preparatory works fur this stupendous un dertaking, the eoetrast for the erection of which has been taken by Mr. C. J. Marc, of Blackwell, are being prose cuted with great vigour. Already the once quiet spot known as &skein Passage is converted into a place of bustle and business. Extensive workshops and smithies have been erected. Steam machinery of every description for planing, rolling into shape, cutting, drilling, and punching the mares of iron to form parts of the bridge, is n full operation. The smiths shop contains eight forges, worked upon the principle or exhaustion, or what is com monly called fan bellows, driven by steam. A long slip, similar to that used fur shipbuilding, has been laid down, for the construction of the cylindem, intended to be soak in the river, for raising the centre pieces of the bridge. The one now being built is to be 36 feet in diameter, and 80 feet deep ; when completed it will be launched, and sunk into its position, end being closed at about thirty feet from the top, will, in fact, be a huge diving bell, and the men working within it supplied with air, on the same principle as that adopted with the croinary bell. The work alto gether will be one of great interest, and the bridge, when completed, will add another to the many attractions of the neighbourhood. lIEDKEO.S YOR RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—The late verdict in the case of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way converts what should be the certain remedy of the law into* most uncertain chapter of accidents. It teaches the company not to rely upon invariable care, and not to dread certain punishment for proved offences, but to trust to chance that no rich merchant or valuable peer is among the goods they carry. A foolish mother takes no notice of her child's playing ball in the drawing-room, although he has been repeatedly forbit.den ; but when he breaks the window he is punished, not for the disobedience, but for the accidental injury. The railway authorities are not Pia' Welted for having rotten rails, had servants, or silly rules; • but if, by chance, they kill a lord, they are punished for I the "accident." Instead of this "wild justice," careful goitrous , nt supervision should see that every railway is in a fit state, and that all its agencies are complete. If the most trifling accident occurs—an a cident causing no hurt or injury to any one, and damaging co property—an in quiry should be instituted; and should the railway autho rities or agents be culpable, the fine should be as heavy as if fifty bishops wen killed. By this means the punishment would he regular, and rigidly applied. Any departure , from the proper laws of precaution would to punished at l once, and inuocence would consist, not in the chance es-; rape of a rich man, but in a constant care over every part of the I ine.—Cmil Soviet Gazelle. . A NEW MAIL REGULATION.—The American Post master-General has sent a circular to the various railroad companies carrying United States mails under charge of route agents, pointing out the necea-ity for their proper accommodation and for the security of their charge; de manding too, that they shall all strictly empty with the common clause of their specific contracts, binding them to have cars exclusively for mails. He furnishes them with a • diagram, showing his view of what is necessary; first, for their due security, and next, to facilitate the labours of the' mail agents in assorting and delivering mails from trains. ! He also points out the necessity for in future preventing any ens excepting United States mail agents from having teems to the body_ of the mail ear. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON, •ND SOIITFI ISTA/lOaDeNlaa RAILWAYS.—At a meeting of representatives of those companies just held at Dudley, the subject of the erection of a joint station at that town underwent discussion, and it was ultimately deter mined, instead of referring the matter to the railway commissioners, that the;South Staffordshire should lay their proposals for the purpose before the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton. MONDAY Itufrues. The market for home railway stocks showed a rather improved ton'.• in the earlier part of the daYf but flatness sD;*equently prevailed, in sympathy I with the decline in Consols, and the market closed with a dull appearance. The final quotations, how ever, seem to have been fully as grood as those of Saturday, and York and North Midlands show an impr:orement. Bona Me business in this department etratinues very restricted. THIS DAY.—Two o'Ctoac. The railway market is fiat to-day, and, although there is no marked change in prices, the tendency is downwards. London and North-Western stock has declined to 1081 to 1091. London and South-West erns are quoted 411 to 1; and Great Western stock, 88 to 1. This department is inanimate throughout. French shares are a shade lower. Strasbourg' are quoted 38 to 1 ; Paris and Lyons, 181 to f prem.; and Northern', 351 to 1. 011DINAIY SHAHS AND 'rims.

MONDLT EVINIXII. Business in the home mining stock market to-day has been very inactive. There are inquiries, how ever, for many of the favourite stocks including Condurrow, West Seton, South Frances, United Mines, West Providence, Comfort', Alfred Consols, and Mill Pool. Of such descriptions there are few sellers. Alfred Consols have been done at 21; West Providence, 441; and Wheal Arthur, 24. The gold mining shares were steadily maintained, though business is very quiet. Liberty shares were flatter. At 4 o'clock Colonial gold were quoted s to 1 prem.; Great Nugget, Ito prem, ; Port Phillip, to 1 die.; British Australian, 3 to die.; Ague Fria, I to 1 prem. ; Nouveau Monde, 1 to I prem. The West Indian mining shares were neglected, but not lower. Metcalfe closed 21 to 21 prem., and Clarendon Consols 1 to 1 prem. Shares of the Old Australian Copper, and Mexican and South American Smelting Companies, were better. Aubin Coal and Iron shares mark par.

The English stock market showed firmness in the early part of the day, but this disappeared in the afternoon, and prices finally closed at a reduction of per cent. Unfavourable rumours relative to the Eastern question seem to have chiefly affected the market, but there can be no doubt a depressing in fluence is exercised by the threatened defidiency in the harvest, the tightening of the money market, and the effiux of the precious metals. In the after noon reports were current of an approaching rise in the rate of discount at Paris. Consols opened at 971, ■nd improved, on some un important purchases, to 971 to 1, but a subsequent reaction carried the price down to 971 to Z for money and Thursday, and 971 to 1 for the 13th October, at which the market closed. with a dull appearance. The " contango" rules at 1 to 3-16. The official business report includes :—Three per Cent. Con sols, for money, 971, 1, 1 ; ditto for account, Bth Sept., 971, 4, 5. Three per Cent. Reduced, 981, 1, 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1001, India Stock, 236. Bank Stock, 2275. South Sea Stock, 1151. Exchequer Bills remain quoted 2s. die. to Is. prem. India Bonds were flat at 13s. to 16s. prem. The foreign stock market was totally devoid of any feature of interest, this department of the house being deserted. Prices show scarcely the slightest change. lAt four o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 26 to ; Peruvian Deferred, 58 to 60 ; Spanish Deferred, 23 to 1; the Committee's Certificates, 6 to 61 per cent.; Granada Active, 23 to 24 ; ditto Deferred, 91 to 10. The list of the day's sales includes only Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds, 1852, 995. Brazi lian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1862, 991, 981. Danish Five per Cents., 1044 ex div. Granada De ferred Bonds, 95. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 471 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 231, 5; ditto Passive Bonds, 65. Money to-day was in good demand, with the rate for discount of first-class paper ruling at 3/ to 4 per cent. Generally, however, there is little disposition to grant accommodation unless at the higher rate. Gold has again been sent to the continent to-day, but not in large amounts. A considerable portion of the silver brought in by her Majesty's ship Daedalus was sold to-day at ss. 25d. per ounce standard for bars, and ss. 05d. per ounce for dollars. The demand was still for India and China. The supplies by the Magdalena have not yet been sold. The letters from Odessa extend to the 26th Aug., and report a very large business in grain. Sales of wheat to the amount of about 65,000 quarters are reported. Although intelligence had been received there of the lowest quotations from this aide, prices were firm, owing to the great demand for French, Italian, and other Mediterranean ports. It is noticed that, of the heavy shipments made from Odessa during the last three months, by far the larger proportion was for Mediterranean ports, and very little for Great Britain. The stocks of grain were very heavy, being of wheat 850,000 chetworts; of Indian corn, 200,000 do. ; of linseed, 30,000 do. ; and of rye, 50,000 chetworts. Ship room continued very scarce, and the high rate of 120 s. per ton of tallow had been paid for London, at which rate vessels could not be obtained. The crops throughout the south of Russia are described as ex cellent. Exchange on London was quoted 21.121 to 21.15 per pound sterling, or equal to about 395 d. per silver rouble at St. Petersburg. The latter is the chief Russian exchange market, there being but a very limited market for bills at Odessa, and it thus happens that the precious metals are ordi narily transmitte to St. Petersburg for despatch to the south. An, during the season when steamers run direct between England and St. Petersburg, it pays to send gold to the latter port with the ex change at 385 d., it is obvious that remittances at present rates must leave a considerable, profit, even after making allowance for the charges at•ending its transit overland to Odessa. No doubt whatever is entertained that, during the next few weeks, very heavy amounts of gold will be sent from England to Russia. In the corn market to-day trade ruled dull, the effect of the interference of the French government with the ordinary course of the market being still felt. For wheat prices ruled much the same as last Monday, the improvement of Friday being lost. A call of 11. 10s. falls due on the "bares of the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway Company on the 28th inst. The Africa brings no specie from New York, but the position of the markets there appeared to he more satisfactory. The exchange market was steadier, but the quotation was only 1081 to lo9l—. a rate too low to allow of specie remittances to this side. The annexed useful resume of the market is contained in the circular of Messrs. Cammann and Co., dated August 23 : The pressure for money which existed at the date of our last circular has somewhat abated. Loans on demand can now be obtained quite readily at 7 per cent. kates of iiis count have declined to 9 to 12 per cent. The weekly reports of the banks in this city, published thin day, exhibit a con siderable accession of strength during the fortnight, as will be seen by the following comparative statement : Loans.

Our quotations are rather lower than those given in our laq report, but they show a slight reaction from the lowest point, and the downward tendency of prices is apparently checked. From the present position of the market, it ap pears probable that, if peace is maintained in Europe, the future tendency will be to an improvement. Offici.l notice is given that the Secretary of the Treasury will. purchase, at any time previous to Ist December, 2,000,060 dots. of the United States loans, redeemable in 1856 and 1862, at 1081 and inter. at for the former, and 116 and interest for the latter. It is matt d that 1,000,000 dais. of the leans of 1867.8 have been presented for red. mption under the pre ' vious notice. The receipts of gold Irani California for the fortnight amount to 1,500,000 dole. Themarket for foreign exchanges is more regular, and rates are firmer, in conse quence of the accounts p. r Arabia, received this morning. Australian Agricultural shares slightly improved in the morning, but subsequently relapsed to Satur day's range. Peel River closed rather better, at to prem.

Poy, ture'er date Ist. Sept.: The extraordinsry activity of business during the econth of July has been sure used by that of hut month, anti Our condition has received the number, never attained before, of 3,249 balm The rise, so rapid in July, made further progress in August, particularly in thrown silks. Oar manufacturers, anxious to secure silk, and not finding it ready on the market, are continuing to make contracts far large paroels, the deliveries to run till March next; bur all mill, being full, such contracts are not so often entered into as manufacturers would desire, in consequence of the impos sibility of getting the raws worked. Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Reuter's express Amsterdam, Saturday, closing prices:—Dutch Four per Cents.,- 95k ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 634; Spanish Deterred Three per Cents., 234; the Coupons, 6Z ; Austrian Five per Cent.

Depression continues to prevail in the English stock market, and pekes to-day are again rather lower. Ctlnsolis have been for a short time main tained at 974 to but the present quotation is only 974 to for money and Thursday, and 97 ; to for the 13•11 October. The Three per Cents. Reduced mark 97'4 to 984 ; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1001 to 4; Bank Stock, 227. Exchequer Bills are lower, sales being marked at 2s. and 3s. die. Business continues nearly suspended in the to reign stock market, which rules fie. Mexican ham receded to 264 to Grenadian Actives, have been sold at the reduced price of 22j. The only other sales recorded are Sardinian Fives, at 96; and Bra zilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 99. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MINCING-LANE.—THIS DAY.

The college is to be called Queen's College, and it is intended to combine the advantages of the tutorial and professorial systems, in strict accordance with the doctrines of the Church of England. The Metro politan bi.hop is to be ex. officio visitor, and the government of the college is to be vested in a council, to consist of the warden an . six senior fellows, with a committee to draw up rules of management from time to time. It is the intention of the promoters of the scheme to apply without delay to the Legislature for an Act, permanently endowing and esta.i blishing the college by incorporation or otherwise; and we understand that a public meeting for the purpose of further ing the plan was shortly about be held when our advisee lett. VALUE 01 LAND IN BIRMINGTIAM,--A slice of frontage land in T,mple-row, Birmiogham, was offered ter sale by the corporation, at Dee's Hotel, on Tuesday evening. This sale am cted a larger audience, it is said, than has ever been seen under similar circumstances in Birminghtun, d the result is curious, indicative as it is of the opinion of men of capital as to what the value of land in the centre of Birmingham is likely to be. The town clerk attended, and after the conditions of sale had been read by Mr. Cheshire, lot 1 was pu• up. This lot en,braces the plot of land at the eoroer, facing Temple.row and Bull-street, and contains 132 yards. The first bidding was 101 per yard, and the holdings which followed were of a most spirited character; ultimately the lot was knocked down to Mr. Webb, who purchased for Mr. Gillott, at 221. 2e. 6d. per yard. Amongst the principal of the other competitor were, Mr. Alderman Hodgson, 11r. Turner, of New-street, Mr. C. H. Cope, Mr. Foster, and Mr. S. Walker. There was even greater competition fur the remaining lots, but ulti mately all were kn..cked down to Mr. Cillott, the steel pen maker, who has thus become the posaes.or of this valuable building site. The remaining lots were knocked down at the following prices :—Lot 2 at 141. 7s. 6d. per yard, lot 3 at 131.2•. 6.1., lot 4 at 121. 2a. 6d., lot 5 at 121. 71. 64., and lot 6, which juts about three feet into the hotel yard, at 131. 12*. 6,1. per yard. There was very much competition fi,r his lot, though Mr. Linen, on the part of the pro prietors of the hotel, intimated that the corporation had offers,' rather more laud for sale than belonged to them, and that the matter would be disputed hereafter. The price at which the first lot sold is at the rate of 107,0001. per acre. GOLD IN COMBERLAND.—On Thursday a party, consisting of Mr. Clarke, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Dears, of London, headed by Mr. Calvert, the Australian geologist, obtained gold readily (hy the common washing process with the tin dish) at the head of Burrowdale, and also near Buttermcre. At the former place the gold was rather water worn, and at the latter it assumed an angular character, and was found in the ferruginous earth 15ing on the surface of the clay and green stone slates. The lump of gold mentioned is our last, found by Mr. Calvert sear Butter mero, pre,.ents a very beautiful and rich apni antic*, and seems to cue role small particles of silica, and generally to be knifed& din or tinged by the earthy oxide of iron. The weight of the entire piece was 57 or., and is valued by Mr. Calvert at 2211.
