Musa CASE.—A BAD HOB DI AND A WONTNLEBB EOM Frederiek /action, • farmer-like looking man, living at 17, GniMbOrmEh-street, Hackney-wick, was charged nth b a viag, on the 20th of September last, unlawfully and by a certain false pretence obtained of and from one George Rhodes a certain horse with intent to defined. It was shown in evidence that prosecutor is a line* draper at Hackney, that he about the date mentioned re quired a hone with which to effect a journey into the comitry on businees, and casually mentioned this fact to a man apparently not very well 'mown to him, who !epee. tented that he had • friend poseeseing an ani mal' which was just the thing, and it could be tel for sale or on hire cheap as dirt. Even tually the " friend " was brought upon the scene, the horse was introduced. It (lid seem a nice animal, and it did seem cheap-7a. 6d. for one day's use, with the entire value down as a deposit. Prosecutor cautiously demurred to this but requirement, but consented to prisoner and an. other man accompanying hint on his expedition out of town. During their return prosecutor agreed to effect purchase of the horse for 41., the bargain was duly completed, anti the ownership changed hands. 'Very speedily, however, the new possessor discovered that the nice animal had I+ ilea lame, went to the prisoner, complained, and after some talk the latter most becomingly complied with the proposal to take it back and refund the money S he, how ever, was not at the time in possession of sufficient cash, wocid Mr. Rhodes take the 41. out of a IW. country note ? Willingly. Not sooner said than done i Cl. was handed by that gentleman to the prisoner, who in return coin te ously put him in possession of a well-fingered 101. note on the "Windsor and Eton Bank." The parties, mutually 'ided for the time, separated, but prosecutor speedily ascertained that it would have been better for him to have stuck to his lame bargain than given 6/. for the note, for however bad the horse might be the piece of paper was utterly worthless, the 'Windsor and Eton Boot having long since been defunct. The prisoner was remanded. WANDSWORTH.

The jury attributed the death of the deceased woman to natural causes, but ex- Picard dissatisfaction at the manner in which the medical ceocr of the district attended to his pauper patients. Dram TRROCOR EXCITBRIENT. —Mew days ago a tanager on the Great Western Railway, named William Jeaticts, aged 21 years, died suddenly at the Dideot Joation under the following circumstances : —He tra *led from Birmingham, and when the train reached neon], *man named De:arlove, who was drunk, entered the compartment in which Jennings was seated. He began melting and created a disturbance, ultimately breaking ore of the carriage windows, hut he accused Jennings of the offence when the train arrived at Didcot. Jennings m+ greatly upset by this false charge, and was unable to Vest when ho attempted to deny the accusation. The culway rethorities removed him from the carriage and ink bun into custody, and the consequence was that he lesson much excited, and soon afterwards expired in one the wsiting.moms at the station. An inquest was held n the body before Mr. Bartlett, at the Junction Hotel, led the jury found that the deceased " Died from infla cal of the heart, brought on by excitement." MTRDEROUS CONFLICT WITH A BURGLAR. —A ZOlt daring burglary was committed in Bolton early c the morning of Friday last, at the house of a gentle co. named Naftali, who resides in Poplar-street, Iv what is known as the Freehold, the most recently lath portion of the town. Mr. Naftali, who is an gent, and lives alone, retired to bed soon after 10 'dock on Thursday evening. Towards 3 o'clock in h morning he was awoke, as though disturbed in his , op, and thought he would go down and fetch a little net to drink ; but to his amazement, when he reached C bottom of the stairs he saw the figure of a :so in the house, and almost before he could properly tie the fact of the man's presence there be re bed a tremendous blow on the head which for the Connt rendered him insensible, Quickly regaining Cariousness, however, he seized bold of the fellow, forme' he had taken off his own clothes, and was just tthe act of putting his (Mr. Nuttrall's) on, and being un- Cued they had a fierce struggle. Finding himself !Cfht the burglar cast shout for an instrument, and laid ctd of a copper kettle and with that beat Mr. Naftali cut the head and body until the kettle was literally sexed. Mr. Nuttall held on to the fellow and sti aggled 'ale him so tenaciously and cried out so loudly, that two !three persons next door hearing the scuffle, jurnyed over Acrd wall, and the burglar had to make his escape 14 a Pair of trousers over his arm.

Churchill (liberal) and Mr. Howell Gwyn (conservative) were proposed. The poll takes place to-morrow. ENGLISH JOINT STOCK BANK.-(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the shareholders of this company, which stop payment on the 11th of May, was held at the London Tavern, Mr. !Luta E. MAIWILY in the chair. The Clislallan said many of the shareholders were aware that some weeks ago a hope was entertained that the bank might be resuscitated, and sou, of the principal shareholdersbeaded themselves together in order to carry out that object, but certain legal difficulties and the then state of the money market rendered it impossible. Since then the attempt had been renewed by a large share holder. It had occurred to the committee that no attempt should be made till they ascertained their exact position, which was not at present precisely mortal - ed. A SHAREHOLDER—Who is the trip shareholder 'l' The CHAIRmAN—Mr. RO4B Mangle; The CHAIRMAN said they were not met to discuss the peat, but their present condition, and to see whether they could not do something to get the bank out of the slough of despond. He moved that • committee of three shareholders be appointed to consider the desirability of resuscitating the bank, and the best mode of accomplishing that end, and to report thereon to a future meeting of the shareholders to be called by the committee as soon as poseible. Mr. WATERS seconded. He asked whether it was true that 13,000/. worth of bills were drawn free Naples on the English Joint Stock Bank, and whetherthme bills re presented anything, or were they worse than nothing, and were them bills neat up from Liverpool to the Bank of England, and refined Dr. CIIANDLER asked if it were true that bills to the extent of 12,0001. or 14,0001. were extracted flap the bank en the day of the stoppage. lir.Citmeaus, nee of the liquidaten, rid the bank held =lto the amount of 23,0001. of the 25,0001. bills apin. With regard to the abstraction of the bills, amounting to 12,0001. or 14,0001. an Inquiry was going on and the guilty parties would be punished. Mr. Roes M.umaits said the debt duo from him, and the taking over of which was part of the conditions when the bank was transferred to the company was not due till May, and would be paid by him at the time. He had lodged securities with the bank which be considered ample. The chairman had made a mistake in saying that he was a large shareholder. He was not a large shareholder, but he felt for the position of some of the poorer sharehoiders, who would be much pressed if the bank went to liquidation. The West Surrey Bank was • very good bank, and was elver a good paying bank. He hoped he bad explained to the satisfaction of the meeting his position in relation to tbe bask. (Chem.)

The stock markets are firmer to-day, with an increased amount of business. The transactions, however, consist chiefly of purchases to cover pre vious speculative sales. The funds have risen per cent., English railway securities to I, the most im portant advances being in Lancashire and Yorkshire, Great Eastern, South Eastern, and Great Northern A. Foreign bonds have scarcely varied, but the tendency of prices in this department of the Stock Exclian,ge is also favourable. The usual heavy requirements at the end of the quarter having been met, the discount market is I decidedly easier to-day, and, with a large supply of money, good bills are freely taken at 41 per cent. Consols are now quoted 894 to for money, and 89# to for the 9th inst. The transactions in the foreign 'stock market are not numerous, but Turkish of 1865 and Spanish Certificates are in request, and have risen per cent. The Passive Bonds and Mexican are firm, at the improvement of Saturday. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 56 ; ditto, 1865, 314 to ; Greek, 15i to it ; Spanish Passive, 221 to 231 ; ditto Certificates, 15 to I ; Italian of 1861, bfni to j ; and Mexican, 1611 to _ _ _ United States b-20 bond's are still offered for sale, and have experienced a fresh fall of f per cent., the present price being 701 to On the other hand, Erie Railway shares are in request, and have risen 11, vie., to 481 to 49.

It is understood that there is now no profit on the transmission of gold to New York from England. It was not until the middle of August (the 16th) that the directors of the Bank of England con ceded a reduction of the rate of discount from 10 to 8 per cent., yet the figures of the Board of '.de returns show that the month's exports made a considerable stride. Such things have been heard of before now as exports of goods to foreign countries with the mere object of sup plying a deficiency of means by negotiating the bills drawn against them, but the general sound neas of trade precludes the idea that the increased movement now experienced can be other than legitimate. The bulk of the increase is in cotton and woollen manufactures. As regards the former, the month's total exports are returned as follows: August, 1864 „ 1865 1866 And for the eight months: 8 months, 18(.4 1865 If 1866 The total value of the woollen and worsted manufactures shipped in the month was as under : August, 1864 „ 1865 „ 1868 In this case' however, the increase is larger on the month than on the eight months. Looking next to the imports, we find the " computed real value of the principal articles imported" in the month of July (being the latest date to which the valuations are made up) to be as follows : July, 1864 £20,458,253 „ 1865 „ 1866 The inference from this comparison is the satisfac tory one that we are not now taking more Liam an average amount of foreign comnoslities. It was, indeed, time that more moderation should be ob served in our commitments to the foreigner on this score, for the under-mentioned import figures, which relate to the seven months ended the 31st July, show that up to that date we had been pro ceeding at a somewhat reckless rate : 7 months, 1864 .C119,068,429 Of 1865 1866 134,871,287 How this excess of imports chiefly arose may be gathered from the annexed valuation of the im ports of one single article—cotton—for the seven months : 7 months, 1864 £44,392,716 1865 1866 Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's Weekly List) of the railway calls falling due in the month of October.

Shortly after leaving Cupar, the guaril ills- 9 covered fire in his van, and strove to extinguish it with . 9 all his might, but as the train flew onwards the flames in- I creased, and when the train drew near Dairsie station, it f. was discovered that it was on fire, and was blazing p . fiercely. The guard, after vainly attempting to extinguish the fire and to save the luggage when the train was in motion, was forced, soon after the van had begun to burn, to leave it and cling to the Land-rail and steps outside, where he continued until the train drew up at Dairsie, when the flames burst out w:th great fury. The alarm was immediately given, and the passengers rushed from their seats in consternation, and it was then seen bow narrow an escape some of them had had from being burned to death. When the train stopped they got out directly, and the first thing they saw was the luggage van enveloped ,in flames. The station-master of Dairsie, Mr. Wood, was ' speedily on the spot, and he and the guard, together with several of passengers, immediately set to work to un couple thoburning oat .iage from those behind, and isolate it, which was done. By this time it was clear that the whole of the luggage in the van would be destroyed, for although attempts were made to save a portion of it, the heat was so intense that the carriage could hardly be approached, and the only articles saved consisted of a lady's basket and a leather portmanteau, which the guard had managed to seize and throw down the embankment, and a few light samples of goods, belonging to a commer cial traveller in the train.—Dandee A &eraser. THE CHAMPION OF ENGLAND."—The following story illustrative of the interest taken by Victor Emmanuel in all matters relating to fighting ran the rounds of Florence last winter. Among the English residents in that city was a reverend gentleman, who by failure of male issue has succeeded to the championship of England. It so happens that this gentleman is of very moderate stature, and by no means a good physical representative of a royal cham pion. Being informed that he was the champion of England, the King exclaimed, " Dio mio ! d possibile how could so little a man have beaten the big boxer Heenan ? Tell me all about it ^'—Fraser's Mnga:ine for October. PORT AND ITS RIVALS.—But did you ever meet with a song or ballad in praise of port ?—I never did. With the Methuen treaty the poetry of wine received the coup de grace.. As Home, the author of Douglas, says, speaking of port, in the well known epigram, Ile drank the poison and his spirit died. In fact, the fires both of patriotism and poetry were dulled and dimmed by the heavy stupefying liquor that our rulers introduced amongst us. No poet could write in praise of port ; although, for the sake of a rhyme to met ry," some of the smaller fry of poetasters tried their 'prentice hands upon the glorification of sherry—a wine against which I beg you to understand that I have nothing to say. I fully admit its goodness ; while I state at the same time my own conviction that, as a whole, the French wines are preferable, and, all things considered — cheapness, wholesomeness, flavour, aroma, whatever makes wine pleasant. exhilarating, and innocuous—the finest in the world. Yet it is strange how firm a bold port— though real port is very dear and very difficult to obtain — has taken upon the British upper and middle classes, and how strong the prejudice against claret—as something weak, poor, and thin—continues to be. Unless among those who have lived upon the Continent, there is searcely one middle-clam Englishman in ten who known the dif ference between bordeanx and burgundy. I grant the ignorance, and hope it may be dispelled, for the sake of the revenue, for the take of international amity, and for the sake of sobriety.— Blarkwroorrs Matsozisse for October. INDIAN "SCANDALS."—The Indian journals indeed are seldom without an excitement of an intensely personal oharacter. Somebody's reputation is being tried in the balance. As soon as the country ceases to be con vulsed with war, the conflicts of peace commence. A drowsy cantonment, or a bustling hill station may be the scene of strife. The contention may be purely among the men ; or a woman, if not the cavort teterrima teffi, may be mixed up with it, and " more embroil the affray." in some cases, perhaps, there may be grave infractions of the moral law ' but in others the story is encrusted with the pettiest pe rsonalities, which, however exciting . they may be on the spot, are regarded at • distance 'imply with contempt; and the pity of it is, that often great and ltononrable names are emaciated with these small and discreditable " soandah." The general inference then is, that there is something in an Indian run that " breeds magrts," not only in " dead d " but also in " live limas.' —anthill Magnolias for OOLONILL 00 1 ,13LN MENT British Coin. op. ot..,isrz Do. 19)6 Can. 00v.4 p. 1t7744.
