There were a number of witnesses to his good character, if the court would bear them.

We have a shorter supply of beasts, and a cheerful trade ; consequently, prices have recovered from the depres sion experienced on Thursday. Choice kinds are quickly disposed of ; but there are still some inferior left unsold. The number of sheep is also smaller, but the demand for them is very limited. On the average prices sni scarcely as good as on Monday last. The trade for calves remains unaltered. From Germany, France, and Spain there are 1,120 beasts, 7,030 sheep,l6o calves, and' 50 pigs.

ACCIDENT IN FIRING A ROYAL SALCTE.—We regret to say that a sad accident occurred on Friday at Wolverhampton to one of the workmen employed in firing a royal salute in honour of her Majesty's visit to that town to inaugurate the statue to the late Prince Consort. The poor fellow was acting as gunner, and was in the act of ramming down a charge of powder into the Cannon when the powder exploded, and completely blew off his right hand, at the same time knocking bin, down. He imme diately jumped up again, and was about to proceed with his work when be first discovered his loss. He was taken to the hospital, and when last heard of was going on favourably. This is the only serious accident that has been reported as wmeguent nLon the royal visit.

MONEY K ,ARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Owe °Twos. The share markets remain dull, with little busi ness. Consols are unchanged, but several of the British railways and foreign stocks have declined. Mexican bonds are decidedly heavy, upon the announcement from New York that the Emperor Maximilian has not left Mexico. Turkish secu- rites are still prejudiced by the conflicting charac ter of the news from Candia, with respect to the insurrection. 9134 1034 4 34 dis -04 141 1 40 roel 67 -- 12iIS In the discount market to-day the rate for the beat paper is firm, at 3i to 4 per cent., owing to the moderate supply of money offered. The applica tions at the Bank have consequently been nume rous. It is believed that the quotation in Lom bard-street will be maintained at its present point till the turn of the year, and that, consequently, there is no immediate prospect of the Bank minimum being lowered. Short loans are obtain able in the Stock Exchange at 3 to 3i per cent. The scrip of the new Russian Loan opened flatly this morning at I to 1 prem., upon sales by al lottees, but the price is now quoted 1* to 1* prem., being t per cent. higher than on Saturday. Applicants fur moderate sums have in many cases obtained half the amount applied for, while numerous persons who applied for largo amounts speculatively have received no allotment whatever, Consols are now quoted 89f to I, with div. for money, and 88k to g, ex div., for next Thursday's settlement. In the foreign stock market the chief feature is a fall of / per cent. in Mexican Bonds. Turkish of 1865 have also receded t, and Spanish Pas sive and Certificates, *. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 57* to 581 ; ditto 1865, 32i to * ; Greek, 13; to 14! ; Spanish Passive, 20 to ; ditto Certificates, 13* to * ; Italian of 1861, 543 to ; Mexican, 18f to 19. . . . American securities show no movement of im- portance. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 70g to Erießailway shares, 4511 to 46; and Illinois Central, 761 to 771.

International Financial shares sr* quoted 21 to 21 dis. ; London Financial, lii to 16i die. ; General Credit, 21 to dis. ; Credit Foncier, 5g to 51 dis. ; National Discount, 9 to a prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16g to /. In proportion as the floating supply of money is re duced through the large payments lately made into the Bank by the liquidators of companies winding up, that establishment naturally derives bene fi t, by the accession at once of business and of avail able resources. The steamer Seine, from the West Indies, has brought 480,0001. in specie, being less than was expected. The Australian advices just received at South ampton rid Panama, state that "a commercial panic prevailed at Sydney. hlan~y failures had occurred, and others were expected.

Bd. . - The annual meeting of proprietors of the Lon don and Westminster Bank is to take place on the 16th January. The report of the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, will be submitted at the annual meeting on the 6th inst. The directors' re commendation as regards dividend has already been published. This company have just adopted a step of a somewhat unusual character, having issued a pamphlet entitled " A Statement of the Position and Operations of the Company, from its In corporation to the present Time." The matter presented by the directors is divided into the following twelve heads, viz., the charters, the postal service, the passenger service, the transport service, the establishments at home and abroad, the consumption of coal, the consumption of pro visions, the employment of agents, commanders, engineers, officers, and others, the expenditure and revenue, the shareholders, the direction and ' management of the company, the parliamentary committee of 1866. From the magnitude of the company's operations, this resume naturally pos sesses considerable interest. A general meeting of the Indian Tramway Com pany (Limited) is convened for the 7th December. A call of H. 10s. is to be paid on the new ordi nary share capital of the Metropolitan Railway Company by the Ist January. A second call of 11. is to bo paid on the new shares of the Berlin Waterworks Company (Limited) by the 31st inst.

IN NEW POWTH WALM—The Now South Wales legi.la,ure (says the Palriot) is trying to substitute a national for a denominational system of edu cation. To meet the reit; ious difficulty the govercuient pi oposes to devote one hour a day to religious teaching. and to arrange to , the visits of clergymea at that hour. The Homan catholic clergy are the great ooponents of the sagge,ition ; though the ministers of other denoraim - pons : , re, of COW oe, altooßt all in favour of Peeping up se,:tarim schools. The catholic priests, of course, declare they will never lie satisfied c.cert with separate schools of their own, to which tlik , y will h ive government all on their own terms.

Sociat Hvetraert.E.—Nobody cares to listen a. they used to do to , :ood talk ; so, what people say must be condensed. An impression must be conveyed by some rapid means. and hyperbole in the readiest means. As a fact, few wouli exaggerate if they could my e t} e thing exactly RI it really is, so thrilling a pleasure is it to hit the mark. Wide-'lnoting is the common refuge of the tongue, which cannot measure or (liam:minate. Timid unob eer vant minds resort to it an mere hopelessness of s uccessful plain speaking. They would not willingly shoot short of their aim, and therefore send their arrow any where so it is beyond the target. Our language is full of the superlatives of impotent exaggeration; and the mind that indulges in therm must live in a muddle. Accurate speaking as much (hien to accurate thinking as clear thought leads to clear speech. Tongue and thought play into each other's hands. Practice in words clean up ideas. People who have never sought into the causes of what pleases or repels can have nothing to my to the pur pose ; but, by realisin;the charm of expreseingthemselves cor rectly, as far as their light goes, they are driven to thought, and thus nourish dormant discrimination lute life. The uniform appeal to the vast and vague, the hy perbolical vein applied to common things, is irreconcilable with anything else but a dull, untrained perception, a blindness inbarrt—or the result if laciness—to the nice varieties and subtle characteristics which distinguish things seemingly alke. end give to each its identity. Hence the weeriness which we feel when long subject to this large, burly lavish style of talk • whether vaguely in definite, or (a kindred though advanced temptation) ing from the abetrect to tee concrete, giving a bony to exaggeration, shooting • :th the long bow in circumstan tial narrative, and fixle onality and conditions with a view rather to effect than to truth. We weal i tiot be cause our mural sense is woun d ed b y hearing t that are vaguely or positively untrue , but of some into edged deficiency in the speaker. Hyperbole, to please, needs a fine active fancy ; eeitilvel in, for the most part through the want of this faculty, and in a desperate effort to conceal the void alike from speaker and listener.— Bluckwoces Magazine for December. in d'o6 made anis the dad co at 9 Lt that rata la a with man O tbs xassig with a a mud, I Pao' eh NI flume ard.
