SURREY SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Thomso rtbsoo, Esq.) CHLRCZ OP HORSE•STEALD9O. . . win j am Hears, 36, wax indicted for s tealing at Lambeth • horse, the property of JUDOS Methuen. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, • fish monger, residing in the Denmark-road, Camberwell, that on the ,ird instant he entrusted his black cob pony to the pri porter to take to the stables of a friend for the night. In stead of doing so, the prisoner rode the pony to the pre mixes of a Mr. liPClallan, living in Robert-street, Britton, to whom he sold the animal for the sum of 2/. 10s. The prosecutor added that he had never in any way author rised the prisoner to sell the pony either to Mr. M'Clallan or any other person. Mr: M'Clillan said be knew the prisoner, and on the 3rd instant he purchased the pony of him, and gave him 21. 106. for it. The prisoner gave him the receipt produced. Poline.constable Pope, 32 P, said that 'le prisoner gave himself up to witness on the charge of sterdini the prose cutor', pony, on the night of the Bth instant, and stated at the same time that there had been some difference in money matters between the prosecutor and himself, and that he had sold the pony to pay himself. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, said that what the officer had stated was quite true. He had some difference with the prosecutor, and finding he could get no settlement he sold the pony. The Deputy Chairnmu, in summing up, said it was a ques tins for the jury to consider whether the prosecutor autho rised the prisoner to sell hie pony. That was denied by him. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and . . . The Depnty-Chairman sentenced the prisoner to a month's bard labour in the House of Correction at Wands worth. THE POLICE COURTS. (TRW DAY.) BOW-STREET. THE EkTRAOHDINART CHARGE AULINST A SOLICITOR. Mr. Edward Cape! WkiteArret, solicitor, who stood cbar•ed with soliciting and inciting George Blake Lehoup Rogers to commit an unnatural offence, surrendered (in discharge of his bail) for further examination. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Smyth and Mr. Abrams, again appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. George Lewis, jun., for the defence. Mr. Lewis said—Sir, in We case which was adjourned for the purpose of affording Mr. Whitehurst an opportunity of calling witnesses, lam now prepared to place before you certain evidence on his behalf which I feel convinced will entirely exculpate him from the charge which has been made against him, and I now propose shortly to state to you the nature of the evidence which I shall lay before you. The first letter written by Mr. White burst was a letter making an ►ppointment to meet Mr. Rogers on the Sunday. The next was a letter making an appointment for the :30th or the 31st The next letter was making Mr. Rogers to keep the appointment for the 30th, and was written on that day ; and the last was written on Saturday, asking him to keep an appointment on Monday, the 3rd November. Now, sir, I shall be in a position to show you that each one of those letters which are said to have been written with • view of inciting Mr. Rogers to commit an unnatural offence, were written by him, not in secret, but to the knowledge of several parties, and with • view of ascertaining the truth or falsehood of the charge which Mr. Rogers was making against the soldier Morris, and of that which the soldier bad made against Mr. Roger,. I shall also show you that io other matters where charges have been made against poor men he has interfered, and has not only defended them without charge, but in a recent case he offered to become bail for a poor man whom he was anxious to prove to be innocent. Mr. Currie—l cannot hear that. Mr. Sleigh—l do not object, and don't object to anything which is legal evidence ; but I object to a statement which as Mr. Lewis knows, and no one better, he could not prove, scd which therefore he ought not to state. Mr. Lewis—l am much obliged that the learned counsel will not object to what is legal evidence, because he cannot. Mr. Cowie—l should of my own motion refuse it, and not throw it on the learned counsel to interfere. Mr. Lewis continued—With reference to the appointment —not the first, because that was for a Sunday, which would not appear in a business diary—but the appointments of the 30th and 31st October, and of the 3rd November, were duly entered, under an initial in Mr. Whitehurat'a book, as being an appointment to be kept by Mr. Whitehurst.t Now, sir, is it likely that any gentleman intending to make an appointment for the purpose suggested would put it down in his diary! I will also show that the appointment of the 31st was kept by direction of Mr. Whitehurst by his clerk, who has been with him for years ; and I shall show that he kept it with a view to see if a person kept it as directed in the letter. I cannot help feeling that if, instead of investigating this matter himself, be had sent to a private inquiry office, or to a detective, they would have written a similar letter, and this charge would never hare beau made. I shall also show that be conversed with reference to this matter several times with bin articled clerk and others. 1 shall also show this overwhelming fact that on the very day he wrote the last letter he went to Westminster Police Court to inquire when the case was coming on again, and also that Mr. Rogers had been pointed out to him there, so that if he had any other design be could bare addressed him there. After some further ob. serrations Mr. Lewis expressed a hope that if he proved these facts the charge would be withdrawn. Mr. Corrie—Suppose you prove all that, still I think there would be an offence, though not of the same degree as that suggested. I would say it was an offence to lead him on even so far, though with no intention ou Mr. White hurat's part to commit the graver offence. Mr. Lewis asked what it would be if it were a detective from a private inquiry office? Mr. Come said it would be the same whether it was a detective, a policeman, or any other person. It would be an offence whoever did it. The object was to see whether Rogers was a likely person to commit such an offence. Mr. Lewis—No ; to ascertain if he had done so. I . lr. Corrie was clear that it would be an offence. James Bligh examined—l am maeaging clerk to Mr. Whin:Murat-, and have known him for the last fifteen years. I am perfectly cognisant of the manner in which he carries on his busineat. fle keeps a diary, in which he ante's all appointments made by himself generally at the time they are made. if made in the office. I produce his diary for the month of October, containing entries of hie appoint. meets in his own handwriting. Mr. Sleigh objected to this evidence. No one knew better then Mr. Lewis that Pinch evidence was not legal. Mr. Conic-1 do not see the object of it, or I might hear it. Doulitlem it might tend to show that the intention of the defendant was cot so criminal as might be inferred from his letter, but still there would be a lamer offence com mitted—a misdemeanour ; and in either case the Witte MRS he decided by a superior court. Mr. Sleigh would not trouble the court by repeated ob jections to the evidence, but would state cue. for all why he objected , and then the court could deal with it, under his general protest, as they might think proper. The learned counsel then contended that according to all past decisions in our courts, evidence of previous conversation or acts, as indicating the intention, could not be received in a matter of this kind. He quoted Roscoe, in refeieuce to the case of Lord George Gordon, when the observations made by the defendant at meetings antecedent to the riot were held to be inadmissible. Why it was obvious that such evidence. even if legal, could not have the slight at weight—for whet would be adder than to contrive such previnue acts or conversations, with a view to establish one's apparent innocence afterwards? A man intending to commit a forgery, for instance, might go to a friend and say, " I am going to play a trick on the cashier of the bank," and then if the forgery is detected he might call his friend to pence that he had no criminal tetention. Mr. Corrie—Well I have expressed my view. Much de pends on the nature of the evidence itself. It may as well premed. Examination of witness resumed—The entry on the Alth is "6—C. H. Rogers." The "A" would indicate the boar of the appointment. On the 31st the entry is " 6.—C. H. R." For the 3rd of November it is the lame, "6.—C. H. IL" I can state that two of the entries (the 30th and 31st) were in the book before the dates for the appointments. I saw them myself. On the 31st I received direc tions as to one of the appointments from Mr. Whitehurst, end I consequently went to Constitution-bill at 6 o'clock in the evening of the 31st, and waited for a quarter of an hour for a person in white kid gloves who was to be smoking. No such person came there, and I moulted the result of my visit the next day to Mr. White burst. who bad described the person l was to meet there. Mr. Whitehurst has a good business as an advocate, but his practice does not lie in criminal matters. He has had very little experience is that class of business. On looking at the letters produced, lam prepared to say they are in Mr. Whitehurst's writing, sod there is no attempt to deguise the handwriting. They are posted in the distr.:et of his Ace, or of his private residence. Crow-examined—Mr. Wbiteburst knew of my residence. I heard of his apprehension on this charge, and I was pre sent at the police court after the examination. I have sees the letters before to-day. at the office of this court, when Mr. Lewis was looking at them. I have never read them. Prior to the 31st ult. 1 had never seen or heard of the letter Marked " No. 1." I saw the entries' in the diary the day or day after they were made. I saw the words "C. if. Itclers" Mr. `Sleigh—Now, sir, look at that diary very carefully. and then say if you are prepared to state that the word Rogers has not been completed, from the initial letter, in a different ink, with a different pen, at a different time! Witness—l should say that the pen may have turned round, but that the word was all written at the same time. I do not believe that it was tiled up afterwards. Mr. Sleigh—bid Mr. Whitehtirst show you the letter which he had written to Mr. Rogers, making the appoint ment, and mentioning the white kid gloves! Witness—l sever saw any of the letters. I went tip to Constitution-bill by his desire to see for such a person, with cut knowing what Mr. Whitehurst's object was in sending me. I merely went to see if such a person was there. After further ovidsoos, Mr. Corrie said he should commit the prisoner for trial, both for the inciting and for an obscene libel, but reduce the bail to two sureties of 1301., and his own recognise:ices for 300/. Mr. CZ.ie quite acquitted Mr. Whitehurst of the graver and more revolting offence. WANDSWORTH. BURGLARY IXTRAORDLYARY. Will iam Sham, a young man, was finally examined before Mr. Dayman on a charge of being concerned with others not in custody in committing the following extraordinary bur glary : fletiry Giles, in the service of Mr. John Dunatone Ti dd, a biscuit baker, of Dorsetplace, Clapham-road, deposed that shortly after five on the morning of Thursday, the 6th instant, he went to work, andl discovered his master's front door unfastened, the back door and staircase window open, and the gas burning in the drawing-room, parlour, and kitchen. He saw • mess about the passage as of the crumbs of pastry end an empty port wine bottle by the side of a chair, which had been brought out of the shop and placed there as if for the use of some one sitting down and watching. Witness gave the alarm, and be afterwards found that the bakehouse at the rear of the premises had been entered through the skylight, ands quan tity of jam stolen. His master's dog, a ferocious and sharp animal, which was usually kept in the bakehouse, was then loose, brit he found a pocket handkerchief fastened to the leg of atable. Witness identified the handkerchief • having belonged to the prisoner, and had seen it in his possession when he was in the same service. It was tied with a noose, as if the dog had been fastened to the table and had slipped the noose. It must have been done by . some one well known to the dog. The prisoner was in witness's master's service about three months up to six weeks ago, and he Raw him on several occasions after he had left loiter ing about the neighbourhood. Mr. Tidd said that after he was called op he found that his house had been broken into and robbed. It appeared as if an entry had been effected through the staircase window, which was then open from the yard. There was a pair of high steps in the yard by which the window could be reached. He found his drawing-room, parlour, and soup-room had been ransacked. He missed two clocks, four coats, three umbrellas, and a number of other ticles of the value of 301. and upwards. He also found two bottles of port wine had been opened and drunk, and also a considerable quan tity of spirits. A bottle of Caracas bed been opened, but it did not appear to have been touched or !lima. There was a mess about the place as if some men bad been re piing themselves well with putty. Police-constable Mason, 262 V, said he was called to Mr. Tidd's bowie at the time in question, and about 10 mi nutes afterwards he found the prisoner a short distance from the prosecutor's hack door leaning against a wall as if he was worse for liquor. He inquired of witness the way to Clapham-common. He offered to show him, and on the way the prisoner pretended to talk French, but witness being acquainted with the language he soon discovered that he was not a Frenchman. Witness also noticed that he was wearing a coat which did not fit him, and be took him into custody. The coat was afters, srds identific 1 by Mr. Tidd as his property, and also a number of other articles that were found upon him. The prisoner declared he knew nothing about the case, and also that the handkerchief found fastened to the table was never in his possession. Mr. Daymau fully committed the prisoner for trial.

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER AT WICHLING. Mr. Major Murton, farmer, Was yesterday (Mon day) brought up on remand, in the custody of Superinten dent Maloney, and charged before 1). Scratton, Esy., and Captain Robinson at the magistrates' clerk's office, Maidstone, with i tltreating his wife, who subsequently died. The two principal witnesses were Mrs. Walter, a married daughter of the accused, and Harriet Russell, a servant, from whose evidence it appeared that on , Thursday night, Oct. prisoner returned home with ! two women of loose character, order iog his wife and daughter to prepare supper and to get the best bedroom ready. One of the women, named Whitbread, said that if she had known Mrs. Murton was at home she would not have come, and expressed her intention to go away. Thereupon Marton threw himself into a violent passion, and going into the kitchen, where his wife was, struck her a severe blow across the bead with his hunting-whip, at the same time ordering her with an oath to get out of the house or be would kick her out. He then pulled her out of the chair, and threw her violently on to the brick kitchen. Not con tent with this, he attacked his unfortunate wife with the tongs and beat her severely &boot the head and body till she was almost insensible, in which state her daughter managed to get her to bed. The servant, who was so frightened by the prisoner's violence that she ran oat of the house and hid, returned about two o'clock, when she was admitted by her unfortunate mistress, who pointed out to her a large bruise on the thigh, and said, "See what that ' villain has done to me." The two prostitutes reinained in the house all night. On the following Sunday Mrs. Murton took refuge at a neighbouring farmer's, and died • week afterwards, saying several times before her death, "That villain has broken my heart—he has been the came of my death." In addition to his evidence before the coroner's jury, Mr. Robinson, the medical gentle man who attended the deceased, made the important state ment that in his opinion the fall on the buck kitchen had accelerated the deceased's death. Prisoner was again re manded till Thursday next, bail being refused, and it is pro bable that he will then be committed for manslau2,hter. As he was being taken away in custody, he handed over his watch and all the money in his possession to one of the loose women who had accompanied him home, and they were mired by her with avidity. We are also informed that, by Murton's authority, they remain the only occupants of his house at the present time.—Maidarone Journal. SCENE AT A FlRS—(Tate DAY.)--This morning a fire broke out at No. 4, Dean-stmet, Finsbury. A fire escape was sent for, the conductor on arriving finding at one of the third floor windows nine of the inmates huddled together screaming I or help, aod • female named Bose Morpn, the nurse to the family, hanging' to the window sill. The police called to her andthe others to remain where they were. The flames at that time were rushing up the stairs and were entering the warehouse and different rooms. Conductor Briggs having seconded the escape, succeeded in saving in rapid succession the nurse, Mr. Stafferl, his wife Sarah, then a child named David, four months old. The latter he placed in the arms of the father so that he could convey the two down together, bat the father was so frightened that he let the child fall, and it fell from the third floor on to the stone flip beneath, and it was feared that it was killed. The poor creature was at once taken to the hospital, but strange to say it was found that the only inj sustained was a slight abrasion of the forehead. Conductor Steer next arrived with the Bishops gate escape, and he foqunately succeeded in raving another of tho inmates. Briggs next brought down by his machine Jessie Sedferd, aged 5 ; Abbey Bowden, aged 2d ; and Mary Page, aged Is. The basement was nearly burned out, toe staircase destroyed, and the extensive and valuable stock in the warehouses partially consumed. and the re mainder of the building and contents severely injured by heat, water, &c. The sufferers were insured in the Not of England Fire-office. THE Coavte-r GARDNER.—We are authorised to state that the account given under the bead of "Condemned Prisoners," in some of the morning papers of what took place with reference to the convict Samuel Gardner is in many particulars incorrect. Sir George Grey had no personal in terview with the counsel for the prisoner, and the alleged conversations between him and Mr. Bibton are wholly with out foundation. After the answer that had been sent early last week to the ',Harmer's solicitors, Sir George Grey received several communications from medical gentlemen with reference to the material point in the evidence as to the time which had elapsed between the commission and tho discovery of the murder. Them oommueications, together with some others relating to th e case, were referred to the ' Lord Chief Baron, with whom Sir George Grey had several personal conferences, after which he informed the pri soner's solicitors in writing of the ground on which the reprieve wee granted.—Times. UNSEASONABLE SALMON FISHINO.—Two cases of salmon poaching in the Severn in the fence or close season have just been prosecuted by the officers of the United Asso ciation for the Protection of the Fisheries of that river. At the petty sessions at Lydney, Gloucestershire, Reuben Ward was convicted of fishing for salmon with a " lade net" at Lydney on the 29th of October, the fence season commenc ing on the 2nd of September. He was also convicted of hav ing in his possession a portion of a foul and unseasonable minim ' and he was fined for the first o ff ence 2/. 10s. sod 2/. ls. costs, and for the second offence la and costs. Thomas Lewis and Thomas Lewis, jun., father and son, were also convicted of fishing on the same day fax ealmon is the Severn at Lydney. They were seen on the sands fish ing with a " lade net," and were proved to have taken at least one minion. They were tined 2/. and lls. 6d. costs each ; in default of payment a month's imprisonment.

The funds to-day are Arm, but the actual im provement in prices scarcely exceeds 1-16 per cent. English railway stocks are dull, and London and North Western has given way. Specu lative attention continues to be chiefly directed to the foreign stook market, in which a large amount of business has again been done to-day, though accompanied by little improvement in prices. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes were quoted 70fr. 15c., being 50. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 931 to 1, cum div., for money, and 92, 1-16 to 3-16, ex div., or 921 for the 4th Deo. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 931, 1, I, cunt div.; ditto, for account, 921, 1, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 911, 92, 911 ; Thirty Years An nuities, 1885, 151 ; Bank Stock, 236 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1091, 3 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 100/ ; Five per Cent. " er.faced " rupee paper, 1011 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 112 ; Exchequer Bills, June, lls., 14a. prem. ; ditto, March, 10s. prem. A great deal of activity continues to prevail in the foreign stock market. Greek Bonds are rather dull, but the Coupons have experienced a further improvement, being last marked 8. New Grana- Sian securities are less inquired for, and the Land Warrants, which have been largely dealt in, are lower, having been last sold at 5. Mexican and Spanish Passive Bonds are also rather flatter, and Italian Five per Cents. show no recovery. Turkish securi ties are very firm, with a good demand. The Loan of 1854 is quoted 864 to 84, being better; that of 1858, 701 to 1 ; and the scrip of 1862,11 toll prem. Venezuelan scrip vs called 14 to 1 dis., ex div. ; Russian,l4 to 1 dia., ex div. ; Portu guese, 21 to 31 prem. ; and Peruvian, 11 to 11 die. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1001 ; ditto 1839 and 1859, 100 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 94 ; Egyptian, 901 ; Greek, 161, 171, 161 ; ditto Coupons, 71, 8 ; Italian, for ac count, 71, 1 ; ditto Maremwana Railway, 724 ; Mexican, for account, 331, 1,1; Moorish, 95 ; New Granada Two per Cents., 281 ; ditto Land Warrants, 51, 4, i t , 4, 5 ; ditto ex overdue Coupons and Hectares, 121; ditto Deferred, ex Hectares, 7 ; Peruvian scrip, 11, 1 dia. ; Portuguese, 1853, for account, 474 ; ditto, 1862, 47, 4 ; ditto scrip, 3 prem. ; Russian Five per Cents., 96 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 931 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 544, 1 ; ditto, for ac count, 541 ; ditto Passive, 231, 221, 23 ; ditto Certificates, 91, 1 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 83, 1 ; ditto 1858, for account, 701 1, 4, 1; ditto scrip, 11, 1, 1 prem. ; ditto paid up, 691, 1,1, ; Venezuela scrip, 14 dia., ex div. ; ditto, Oae-and-a-Half per Cents., 121, ex all. The discount market was less easy yesterday, and, considering the continued draughts upon the bul lion in the Bank of England, and the gradual approxi mation of the rates in the general market to the minimum of that establishment, an impression is arising in many quarters that no long period will elapse before the directors will move to 31 per cent. Little business was done yesterday below 21 to 3 per cent. At the Bank, however, the applications did not exceed moderate proportions. About 150,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Con tinent to pay for silver. The amount of specie by the Australama' n from New York is 56,0001. Of the 220,0001. in Mexican dollars by the steamer La Plata, about 150,0001. have been taken for transmission to Marseilles for shipment by the new French mail steamer to Shanghae. It is announced that Mr. Henry Austin Bruce, chairman of the Ottoman Bank, has been appointed Under-Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment. This forms a somewhat singular coinci dence the last chairman of the same bank, Mr. Layak having been made Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The demand for American securities on American account continues, and prices are still rising. It was remarked as an almost unprecedented fact at the last settlement in the Stock Exchange, that a bonus (or "backwardation") was given for the loan of Illinois Central and Erie Railway shares to the next account. Owing to the large extent to which these securities have been shipped to New York during the last twelve months, the floating supply in the London market has disappeared. Many new banking projects are still in course of formation ; amongst others, fresh banks for India, Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand. It seems to be certain that as long as the public will provide the capital, the supply of new projects will go on without a check. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,6171., and the South Eastern an increase of 2,2651. An extraordinary meeting of the Universal Marine lusurance Company is convened for the 25th instant, to confirm the resolutions passed on the 23rd ult., whereby the number of directors will be raised from twelve to aixteen. It is understood that the board of this company will be able to add to their present number four influential names, whose accession can hardly fail to promote the in terests of the undertaking. In acting thus the di rectors are quite disinterested, for we believe that no application will be made for any increase in the aggregate remuneration to the board, each existing member of which will,of course, receive less than he has hitherto received. _ . We have received a cony of the prospectus of the Oil Wells Company of Canada (Limited). Provi sional contracts have been made for the transfer to this company of oil wells in the county of Lamb ton, guaranteed by the vendors to supply 20,000 gallons per day, as well as of 2,948 acres of land in the oil district, from which it is believed that a per manent supply may be drawn. It is affirmed that the company will be able to deliver the oil in the Thames at a cost of 81. per ton, the present price of the Canadian article in England being 131. to 141. per ton. Various details are given of the ways in which the company proposes to utilise to the utmost extent this very remarkable and valuable natural product, the trade in which seems to be as yet only in its infancy. The ven dors of the property, several portions of which are stated to be of great agricultural value, have agreed to receive a considerable portion of the purchase money in fully paid-up shares. The direction of this undertaking is of a respectable character. The capital is fixed at 75,0001 (sub ject to increase) in 51. shares. The half-yearly meeting of the Calcutta and South Eastern Railway Company is called for the 27th inst. . _ It ap that a preliminary public meeting of the kora of Mr. Jonah Andrew, the no-called banker and bankrupt, of Manchester, will be held in that city on Monday next, to nominate assignees on behalf of the whole body of creditors. MONDAY EVENING. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 92 to * ex div. for the 4th Deounher, opened this morning at the same quotation, and after improving to 921 to 1, closed at 92 to 1. For money the last price was 94 to 1, with div. The official business report is as fol lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 931, 0, I, cum div. ; ditto, for account (Dec. 4), 921, ex div. ; Three per Cents.

The India Five per Cent. stock wan quoted 10* to I ; the June Exchequer Bills, 10a. to Ma. prem. ; and the March, 108. to 14 s. prem. The transactions in foreign stocks were upon sa extensive scale. _ _ Bnamesa in the market for Bank shares was &pia active. Bank of Australasia, London and Bra zilian, Ottoman, and Standard Bank of Smith Africa were better ; while Agra, Chartered Bank d British Columbia, and City Bank have receded. IA the miscellaneous share market the changes were unimportant. Van Diemen's Land shares were flat. Ocean Marine shares closed to-day at cyg to prem. ; Thames and Mersey, 2i to b prem. ; Uni versal, 11 to 1 dis. ; North British and Mercantil% 15 to 16 ; Commercial Union, par to prem. ; and London and Provincial Marine i dis. The closing quotations for shares in new under takings were as follows :—Standard Bank of British South Africa, to 311 prem. ; Bank of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, to prem. ; Union Bank of England and France, If toll prem.; Metropolitan Cab, Ito prem.; and Canadian Oil, to 1 prem. ; English and Irish Bank, to 1 prem. The allotment letters, and also the letters of re gret, of the Union Bank of England and France were issued this afternoon. Colonial government bonds were in demand to day, particularly Victoria, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Ricans° A IS sax.—The ceremony of receiving s nun took place at the Roman catholic chapel, Kidderminster, on Saturday. The novice was a young lady mimed Mary Au gusta Ann Theresa Tyran, from the county Meath, in Ire land. The USXO.3 by which she will be known among the sisterhood at Kidderminster, however, will be Sister Mary Theresa. The young lad 's friends are 0-..ted to be persons of position and wealth in the above-named county. At the close of an address from Dr. Ullathorae, the novice advanced front her seat, and knelt before the bishop, who asked her if she was thoroughly aware of the obligatiocs she was going to take. ' The novice responded, io a subdued voice, that @be wee. Having prostrated herself on her face before the bishop, prayer was offered. The black veil having been placed over her heed, the bishop said that the habit she now wore was the livery of Jesus Christ,* and it should remind her that she had for ever (waken the world and was in future to serve God alone. Another prayer fol lowed, the nun again prostrating herself as before. The bishop asked if it was with willing . heart she renounced the world and all similar pretensions. An answer was given in the affirmative. The bishop then gave the now professed nun a crucifix, which he told her to receive u • token of the fidelity which she owed to her spiritual vows. The bishop :—" The hour of your sacrifice is come. Do you cheerfully, without reserve, give yourself to God!" The nun returned answer that she did. Mass was then per formed with the usual ceremonies, during which the reia made • recantation of the world, and devoted herself to • religions life. The bishop epee this declared that he ad mitted her into the institute of the Blessed Virgin, and he promised her, if she kept her vows, everhuitieg life. GLINKILRIE. —MISERABLE STATE OF THE CROPS IN THE Mom ANDS.—Never did the close of harvest present a more threatening and ruinous sanest in the Highlands than it dose at the present time. On most farms which are favourably situated the crop is well secured. but on late plate* and is high glens, where the sod is cold and heavy, comparatively little has been done to the in-gathering of the grain—so little, that on some farms in this neighbourhood only two and three stacks have appeared in the stackyard; and the fields present a miserable aspect. So little of the crop had been gathered in. that " ratting" bad to be ra j sorted to. This is done by binding the sheaves below the ears, and spreading out the lower part of them, ro that every sheaf is made to stand by itself —a process which has failed in giving satisfaction this year, as snow has now covered the ground to the depth of five or six inches, which has broken down the " pita " and lodged them among the snow, like bushes of mountain heath in the middle of winter. The only cheering feature we have under these disheartening circumstanoes is the fact that most farmers is this district depend chiefly on their sheep and cattle for the wherewithal to pay their rents ; and if a sufficient quantity of straw could be secured for the wintering of cattle most parties might come pretty well out of it slier O.—Duet/es Adoestiar. _ SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIPENY.—The exprefiq and other to Scotland on the North-Eastern Rail were traissing delayed some time, on Saturday evening, by a sin golar thedeet which occurred at the Felling station, the station next to Gateshead, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The local train, which left Newcastle for shields and Suederlsod at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. was standing at the Felling station about a quarter past 3 o'clock, taking in and discharging passengers, and while some of the passengers were alighting a goods' "pick up" train CAM from the south upon the opposite pair of rails on the down line at full speed, the local train standing on the up line. Just as the gooda train was flying past an of the tire, of a truck io the centre of it broke, and in as instant several of the Imagoes were thrown off the hue. and driven in every direction. Huge fragments from the broken waggons struck the carriages of the standing passenger train, and did extensive damage to them. Bat, singular se it may seem, none of the passengers were seriously hurt. and but few of them slightly so. The front, a portioo of the roof, and the sides of two compartments of a second-class carriage were broken into splinters ; the footboard was torn off a first-class carriage and the door broken in ; the win dows of a third-clue carriage were smashed aid the rider broken in iu several places. as if struck by cannon balls. How the passengers escaped as they did I a perfect mi racle. Of the goods train one of the trucks was broken up into splinters, and scattered piecemeal oven the platform of the station and embankment, and two or three inhere ware seedy demolished, and the merchsadise scattered it every dieestioa. The engine-tender was not injured.
