THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION. —The terms of the Commission of Inquiry into the Irish church are before our readers this evening. They will be found to confer what the lorremaie. Journal correctly describes as "varied and extensive powers." Thete powers, of course, are limited to inquiry and report ; but the matters to be in quire.' into and reported upon include the whole subject of the establishment and en d owmen t o f th e c h urc h of Ire- Lind. The commissiouers are required to make them selves acquainted with all the circumstances of the offices, dignities, and property of the church, and to state what they think necessary or right to be done in the way of altering the state and condition of those several offices, dig nities, corporations, and benefices, and the management, ad ministration, and distribution of the revenues and property. This is ample verge and scope enough to warrant the recom. mendation of any schemeof change which the commissioners may deem fitting. It will be remembered that Lord e l De pointedly declined to accept an amendment pro pied the Bishop of theory upon the re so l u ti on o f th e House of Lords asking for the issue of the commission. The bishop wished to restrict the powers of the commis sion with regard to church revenues and property to a recommendation of " means by which these might be made best to promote the efficiency of the established church in Ireland." Lord Derby refused to concur in the restriction, preferring to " leave the question (of alienation) open, and not to pledge the house with regard to it one way or the other." In the terms of the commission this freedom is preserved, and it is competent to the commissioners to recommend any scheme of distribution of the funds of the church which may seem good to them. It will be seen, therefore, that the Freeman's Journal rightly estimates the powers given by the commission se extensive."— //elk* Errata!, Mail. Tne PRICE OF BUTCHERS' MEAT.—A great deal of dissatisfaction has of late been expressed (observes the leer-ester Chronicle) at the high prices charged by our local butchers for beef and mutton joints, but from in quiries we made on Saturday, we have great satisfaction in stating that th e c h arges have been reduced. Mr. E. Wattoa. of Bridge-street, will supply any joint of good ewe mutton at Gd. per lb. except she legs, but if the breast be also taken, the legs will be sold at 6d. The prices given by Mr. Andrew*, are as follows :—legs of mutton, 64d. to tkl. per lb. ; shoulders, Gd. to 74.1.• loins, f,d. to 7d. ; and beef, 6441. Mr. Meredith—le g s a n d greasts, 51d. ; shoulders and necks, 6d. ' • and loins, 71d. Mr. B. Smith—breasts, shoulders, and necks, 51d., a , 61d., and 7d. per lb. ' • and legs, 64. Mr. Jabez S m ith — b ee f, 70. ; shoulders of mutton, 64d d . . • legs, 7d. Mr. Lord—b ee f, 6d. to 64d. ; legs of elution, G Ad ; loins and shoulders, sd. to 6.1.; and necks, 54d. These are the prices given us in reply to the inquiries we have made, and if they are correct, the public need not grumble. I NTERF-wrING TO NATURALISTS. —A Persian cat belonging to a neighbouring eleegyman, having only one kitten, astonished the inmates of th e p arsonage at }loin blotioa, by bringing in four little rabbit. and suckling them with her kitten. One unhappily soon fell • victim to • dog, and another died, but the remaining two were nursed till they were able to provide for themselves. when, pre. ferring fresh air and grass to the pantry and their foster mother's milk, they ran away. STRIKE OF TIIE BAKERS IN BELFAST. —The fol lowing circular has been presented by the operative bakers of Be fart to their employers :—" Belfast, Nov. 2, 1867. —Sir,—Owing to the exceedingly high prices of provisions, house rent, and every other necessary of life, we, the ore dersigned journeymen bakers of your establishment, do hereby give notice that we will not work after Saturday, 9th November. for leas than 3s. per week of a rise on our present wages." The master bakers refuse to accede to the demand of their workmen, and there seems every like lihood that on Saturday next the men will leave their employment. The prospect is anything but pleasant for the public. It is some satisfaction, however, to notice that. if the price of bread is to he raised by this strike, the butchers—certainly not too soon—are beginning to lower the price of beef.—Northern Whip. DISGRACEFUL RIOT AT MALTON.—A sth of No vember mange of the most disgraceful nature occurred at Melton on Tuesday night. About 6 o'clock crowds of men ant boys began to assemble in the streets, and for four hours literally took poesession of the town. About 9 o'clock the crowd must have reached 500 people, who moved from street to street, setting all law and order at defiance. The police were totally powerless, and whenever they attempted to assert their authority they were hooted and mobbed, stones and fireworks being thrown at them. For every policeman there were at least 100 marauders. For four hours the town was in • most disgraceful state, at times se many as a dozen rockets being fired at once. It is no exameration to say hundreds of rockets, squibs, and crackers were let off in the streets. For several hours it was impossible to pass along the streets, and at one period it was thought desirable that special constables should be morn in. AB night advanced, and the places where fire works could be obtained were closed, the crowd gradually ditPersed. Guns and pistols, however, were fired for some time, and one young man had his arm fearfully shattered. A disturbaace so disgraceful and lawless has never before occurred at Milton. CY op. d • s•.

TO TH6 EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. SIR,--AR yet, the minor events at Lirerpo.d have brought forth no second Beeswing or Gardener t o jeopardise the pretensions of the carefully bottled " good things" for the Liverpool Cup ; and the race looks sur prisingly epee, even now the scratching has commenced in earnest. The pen has already disposed of Beeswing, ale rumour says Ackworth also—too lightly handicapped to run, I suppose; with others the public jumped upon from the first ; whilst the pencil has settled the pretentious of another numerous lot, apparently—Dalby, Mandrake, Montgoubert, and Bracken being under a cloud it seems impossible fur them to get clear from. The letter a.is attacked very suddenly with the metallic fever, to the horror of those who were daily hearing accounts of hew well he was doing; but Mandrake has merely retired before the staunch support conceded to his stable-companion The Corporal, to help whom do battle for the north Fatrwind appears about the only reliable candidate. Newland being quite out of his element just now in such • race. Weighted to a nicety on their recent form, it is hard to choose between the and the weight of metal there must necessarily be behind one of Dangerous Dawson's representatives helps to make one • better favourite than the other; still, Corporal was tried to do • great thing with Mandrake just before the Cambridgeshire, which quite ignored his public form with Major Stapylton's useful outsider. Most of the south-country champions backed are three year olds, Honesty, Knight of the Garter, Scipio, Excite ment, Now Guinea, and Salamanca being all likely starters, and they may be joined by Deceit and Secrecy, if only to keep Honesty in check. Going as smoothly iv; though his Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire "friends" did not know what working the market went, the latter is now reported to be doing better work than he did for either of the Newmarket races ; but his name is neverthe less • most suspicious one to believe in yet, allowing that he did get badly off for the Cambridgeshire, and then run fourth. Could Knight of the Garter's stay ing the mile and 3 half be depended upon he would be a much better investment at the present prices, for hi, party are all " on, " whilst all accounts agree as to the improvement he has made since he ran so close to Honesty at home, giving him 201bs. Scipio Newmarket men will not have, although be has always been hacked in the face of the support conceded to Regalia, who since the Caith ness business of Saturday last that created such a sensa tion has been backed down to a very short price. The fact of the " party " lending her companion to a certain bookmaker who would not believe the mare was the better horse, and laying him 10,000 to 1,000 that he could not make Caithness win, naturally caused attention to be directed to what was left behind, when the knowing ones discovered it was Regalia and not Scipio the Stephenson. Grahams were depending upon. At least so they think ; and the idea seems feasible, when we look at what the twa animal s have done, allowing for certain peculiarities of the mare, whose defeat by Rama and Lord Lyon at Lincoln we are told to ignore altogether. But she has at times shown most unmistakable softness, and should she " turn it up" in this instance, the layer of the big bet against Caithness will not have much the best of it, no matter how superior Regalia may he at home. The hest performances of the one will read about as well es the best of the other's, taking into account the half-stone advantage the gelding has in the weights ; and what I cannot understand is the Regalia man initiating Caithness will not be in the " first six," for if he is not, where can they expect the mare to be' The Peer may beat them both, and everything elge, if his spring doings with Westwick and the strafforti'm dam colt were correct ; yet when he beat the former, Ischia was a good third, showing the northerner must have been backward, and even on the running of Lord Glasgow'. oolt recently, any fair three-year old should beat The Peer, who is handicapped at but 81b lease than the dangerous Primate. The everlasting Moulsey is carrying money again, but can hardly win with his Bst 121 b, if he does look more like business than Pearl Diver, Minster Bell, Zenobia, Tribune, or any of the "outsider.," in fact. One of the defunct may revive at the last mo ment, the supposed victims to Bracken having the conso lation of knowing he is on the spot, and " fit to run for a man's life." There is, too a dangerous name among the arrivals in Abergeldie, looking at the company lie will he in ; still, as matters at present stand, there is nothing like Rachuta in my eyes, the next in my estimation being Caithness and The Peer.—l am, he., METEOR.

There were but few members present at the club. to-day, and the business transacted did not amount to much.

Mr. Seymour has forwarded it to the Home Secretary, with an urgent appeal in favour of the prisoner :—" It, Mount Edgecombe-tertace, Stoke, Devonport, Nov. 5. " Sir,—lf my testimony on behalf of Maguire's character can be of any use, or be partly the means of saving his life, I shall feel glad. I was the surgeon of the flagship Princess Royal on the China station the whole commis sion, end frequently had him oa my sick-list, during which time be was obedient, and in fact never gave any trouble. The hospital attendant found him always useful and atten tive to the more sick mariners and seamen. He was, in m opinion, an irnomnt man, and co u ld eas ily b e l e d to drink by others when on shore. He has not the brain to do what the other Fenian" did. Had he been • bad character be would not have been re-entered, or, rather, taken on again for a definite period. I had no idea till Saturday that Maguire was one of the doomed. I therefore think it my duty to may what I know about the poor fellow, having been in the same ship many years. Had he been a bad character, the discipline of the ship was such that the captain (Capt. Wm. Gore Jones, of the Royal Navy), would have tried him by a court-martial. What could have in duced him toget into such had company I know not. I can assure you that none of hie friends have written to tile on the subject. I have written this quite of my own dic tation, believing the man to he innocent.—Believe me, in baste, yours very faithfully, FRANK G.

His father was formerly • turnkey in the county gaol of Cork, and was transferred from thence to Bandon, where he acted for a long period as bridewell keeper. For many years his grandfather was parish clerk of Ballymartle. His father was originally a protestant, but became a Roman catholic after his marriage with a woman of that persuasion, and reared all his children as Roman catholic'.

Two GAMES AioNcE.—You may discourse for $ whole evening, and impress no single person with any opinion of your powers ; but if you can listen judiciously, and with a proper emphasis in your silence, to one or two of the talkers present, you may safely reckon on their testimony in your favour as an intelligent and agreeable man. Of course, the perfect listener should possess largely the power of abstraction. He should be able to devote his visible attention to the veriest proper to whom he may be allotted as a captive for the time, while he is gathering in the pleasanter sounds which reach his ear from more dis- tant quarters. There is some danger in this to the inex perienced. It incurs the risk of a sad misplacing of the needful interjections. Besides, most people listen with their 57es as well as with their ears. If, while trying to maintain a dialowie with an uninteresting neighbour. they want to catch what is being said on the opposite side of the table, they allow their glances to wander unmistakeably to the point of attraction, or try to look out of the corners of them, an a magpie does, in a fashion which neither improves their own personal appearance nor gratifies the party to whom they affect to give their undivided attention. The cleverest compliment in words will fail to propitiate the lady who site next you if she discovers that all the time your eyes are, like the fool's, in the ends of the earth. So long as these do their duty, she may construe silence into admiration, and excuse your stupidity to herself on the ground that the charms of her person and conversation may be rather overwhelming to a modest man : but there can be no misinterpreting the fatal evidence of the wan dering glances. It is only the really accomplished listener who can devote his eyes and all his visible allegiance to where they are legally due, Mid yet keep his ears open to what he really wants to hear.—Black:roods Megatirse for November. MOYEY KARKRT.-(THIS DAY.) o'Cioou. Although the advice' to-day from the Continent are, on the whole, satisfactory, the stock markets are slightly flatter in tone. The amount of busi ness is rather limited, attention being partly directed to the fortnightly settlement in the English funds, which will be completed this afternoon. As was expected, the ar rangement of the account shows a small supply of stock, and a preponderance of speculative sales for a fall. Cm's°ls and foreign bonds are unchanged, but English railway stocks have declined, the most important ' movement being in Lancashire and York shire and Caledonian. Royal Mail Steam shares are extremely heavy, and have fallen Of., upon the anouncement of the wreck of two of their steamers at St. Thomas, and serious disasters to several others, is referred to in another column. The loss will fall upon the company, as they insure their own vessels. 1 There is no new feature in the discount market, the supply of money being good, and the rate for the best bills without change, at 14 per cent. Consols are quoted 941 to 4 for money, and 192 15-16 to 931-16, ex div., for the new account (December 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are at 924 to 93. Home railway stocks are offered, and have given way. Lancashire and Yorkshire and Caledonian have declined about 1 per cer.t., the present price being 1244 to /, and 86 to 4, respectively. The reductiqn in most of the otikr lines amounts tot to 4. The quotations are as follows :—Metropolitan, 1204 to 1214 ; Great Western, 46 to 4 ; London and North Western, 114 to 1 ; Midland, 1174 to 1 ; South Eastern, 664 to ; Great Eastern, 32 to 1 ; Great Northern, 1074 to 1084 ; ditto A, 1121 to 3 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 174 to 4 ; North British, 321 to 334 ; and Brighton, 524 to 1. Foreign stocks have been little dealt in, and the speculative descriptions are unaltered. Turkish of 1862 are at 62 to 63 ; ditto of 1865, 314 to 324 ; Greek, 124 "to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 184 to 194 ; ditto Certificates, 164 to 4 ; Italian of 1861, 454 to 1 ; Chilian scrip, 4 dis. to par ; Egyptian, 1864, 84 to 85; and Mexican, 144 to 154. United States 5-20 Bonds have experienced a fresh rise of 4 per cent., viz., to 701 to 71, owing to a decline in the premium on gold at New York. Erie Railway shares are quoted 464 to 47, showing no change ; and Illinois Central, 811 to 821, being 1 better. Atlantic Cable shares are steady. Anglo-Ameri can are at 17# to 1, and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference at 31 to a. Bank shares exhibit no variation of importance, the dealings being upon a limited scale. Imperial Ottoman, however, are firm, at to 1 dis. The only change in Financial shares is a decline of 2s. Gd. in Credit Fonder, viz., to 61 to ek dia. International Financial are called 2'i to 21 dis. ; London, 24 to 23 dis. ; and General Credit, 21, to 2 dis. An extraordinary meeting of the Wallachian Petroleum Company (Limited) will be held on the 19th inst., when it will be proposed that the under taking shall be wound up voluntarily. A general meeting of the South of England Waggon Company (Limited) is called for the 19th inst. The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for the Continent waslol,oool., making a total of 288,0001. since the date of the last return, while only 6,0001. has been sent in. The City of New York, from New York, has brought 20,5001. in specie, and the City of London 1,500!. The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were : To Calcutta, 8.30.000 rs. ; and to Madras, 1.70.000 rs. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at Is. 111 d. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at Is. lied. will receive about 85 per cent., those above that price will be allotted in full. No tenders on Bombay were invited. These results show little change compared with those on the last occasion. A meeting was held yesterday of .he creditors of Messrs. Vivanti, Annett, and Balfour, in the silk trade, who stopped payment on the 26th ult. The balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Honey and Humphreys, the accountants, shows liabilities to the amount of upwards of 400,0001., but only 30,2451. is expected to rank against the estate, while the net assets reach 22,3621. It was resolved to adjourn for a month, and meanwhile the affairs of the firm are to be liquidated under supervision. The deputation appointed at the meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, on the 31st ult., have had a conference with the directors, the result of which is, that, as regards the bill to be presented to the Canadian parliament, all the clauses to which objection was taken by the meet ing are withdrawn. The powers of the bill are now confined to the raising of a sum not exceeding 500,0001. in Equipment Mortgage Bonds, No. 2 (snchbondsin no wayto interfere with the priorities and rights of the existing Equipment Bonds), and to the enabling of variations being made in the terms of the agreements with the Buffalo and Lake Huron , and Champlain Railways, with the consent ' those respective companies. At a meeting yesterday of the shareholders of the European Bank (Limited) the liabilities were stated by Mr. Whinney, one of the liquidators, at 369,285/., as against 2,637,8201. in May, 1866, when the bank stopped payment. To meet the present i commitments, there is cash in hand amounting to 25,3441., and from the La Villette Company, the St. Nazaire Company, and the Socik4 de Com- 1 coerce the sum of 281,0001. is due, which is ex pected to realise eventually about 181,0001. The liquidators settled a list of contributories, prepara tory to making a can of 21. 10s. per share. This call will realise about 75,0001., and allow of the payment of a dividend in January next. _ . The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,9931. over last year ; the Midland, an increase of 4,1701. - the Metropolitan, an increase of 308!. ; and the Great Northern, an increase of 4,0761. • A general meeting of the Copiapu Extension Railway Company is called for the 19th inst. It is notified that Mr. Thomas Powditch, the resident director in Chile, will attend the meeting, to ex plain the present condition and the future pro spects of the company. Vice-Chancellor Stuart has fixed the 16th inst. for the appointment of an official liquidator of the " City of London and Colonial Financial Associa tion (Limited)." The subjoined report on the market for Ame rican securities is from Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. : Americus securities in the Londoernarket have shown some fluctuations during the past week. influenced partly by European politics, and partly by the lower rate of col and exchange reported by telegraph from New York. The result of the week's oper.ttiont shows an improvement in United States Government Bonds of nearly one per cent., 5.20's of 1862 (Awing 70„ to A, and of the 1865 issue 691 to Illinois and Central shares and Currency Bends, regu• Tarly paying dividends or interest, such as Illinois Seven per Cents., and Detroit and Milwaukee, have been la request, as with a possible further decline in gold they will naturally enhance in value, while such stocks as Erie abates. which have comparatively a speculative value, will be less affected. _ .
