Drama. DRURY-LANE. The popular comedietta of Tie Lwfie' Batt!e, supported by Miss Shirley, Miss Maracay, Miss (:rattan, Miss Hud►peth. &c., and Mr. J. Rouse, Mr. Harems, and Mr. Barrett. is now the afterpiece at this theatre, the .Doge q i ..••• e being played first. Mr. Leyte Bernard has strengthened the termination of Lis play by transposing the Hoge's tine prophetic soliloquy (written by Byron) to the last scene. The house is full every night. OLYMPIC. The siteee;s of Foote's comedy of the Lior at this house has naturally encouraged Mr. Charles Mathews to dig.forther into the drama of the last century, and last night a modified version of the elder Morion's comedy of ?he Woo to Get Married was produced, with an e:cep• *lousily strong east of characters. This play was first performed at Covent Garden, January 2s rd, 17%, with Lewis as Tangent, Quick as Allspice, Fawcett as Dashall, Pope as Faulkner, Munden as Caustic, Johnstone as Meguery, Mrs. Mattocks as Clementine, Miss Wallis as Julia, and Mn.s Davenport as Lady Sorrel. In spite of ausy defeck, a:id one scene in which a father instigates a shinghter to commit suicide, it was lerfornied fortymne times, and has often been repeated. In the three-art version produced at the Olympic, Mr. Charles Mathews, who is the only legitimate successor of Lewis, of course represents Tangent, and Dick Dashall, a port of the Goldfinch type, is given to Mr. H. Neville. Mr. A l lison performs Caustic ; Mr. M. Robson Toby Allspice ; Mr. Horace Wigan M'Query, which should be O'query ; Miss E. Farren Clementine Allspice and Mn'. Oaulfield Lady Sorrel. The mooed) , is excellently put upon the at:tote, the dialogue is swart, the acting apirite.l. and the condensation being judicious, it will probably have a lengthated run. STRAND. A little two-act comedy, by Mr. William Broustll. entitled Kw. tq a Fault, was produced at this home last eight with prifect success as the eecoad piece of the even. lag. The leading character—a man who " cannot say rao "—who obliges everybody, and gets himself into infinite trouble in consequence, is not quite new to the stage ; we have had it in Goldsmith's Mud-nate r , .1 Man, Mrs. Inch bald's E err/tone has his Fault, and in Mr. Stirling Coyne's E reryte y's Friel'''. Mr. William Bromill has again worked out this idea very pleasantly, his only fault being the surrounding of his hero with a rather bewildering number of characters. The in terest of the comedy runs in pairs, and the pairs are as unmerous Li they are in Poe Lose, or in the Amble Mar. liar. It is not necessary to describe the plot, and not very easy, as it is full of humorous misunderstandings in which Mr. 11-Iford, the good-natured man, Mr. Pareel:e as a jeal us husband, Miss Gwynn° as the wrongly sus pected wife, and Mr. James as a comic groom, sometimes jealous, sometimes watchful, sometimes drunk, have a fair opportunity of showing their ability. The dialogue wants a little pruning here and there, pa , ticalarly towards the close of the last act, and this alteration beiug made, it will form a very agreeable and not too bsisterous prelude to the burlesque. AFRICAN CONTVLSIONNAIRES. Yesterday a!ternoon the large room of the Egyptian HZ!, Piccadilly, usually occopied by Mr. F. Maccabe, was, by the permiesion of that gentleman, the theatre of some most remarkable performances, by • com pany of Arabs who have recently been exhibiting in Paris, and who describe themselves, or ate 2e scribed by their manager, at " the tribe of Aissa-Houha, the African Con vulsionosires, snake-charmers, fire-eaters, and oonjuron." These performers are only seven in number, and therefore, we apprehend, form but a portion of the tribe in question, who, it is said, claim for themselves the power of eating, without danger, anything that may be offered to them ; and certainly, if the remainder of the tribe share the peculiarities of those individuals whose feats we witnessed yesterday nfternoon, they must be a most omnivorous people. Their common food would resin to be burning charcoal or lighted torches, while they derive an agtee ible variety of dist from chewing wine glasses, the middy leaves of the cactus, or the fiesh of live snakes, or swallowing sharp-elged pebbles, and teepenny nails. Nor are their peculiarities confined to mere matters of diet. Their amusements are equally ex ceptiocal in their nature. To balance oneself upon a naked sword, or to allow two strong men to press a simi lar instf ument against one's bore stomach, is a diversion from which most Englishmen would shrink with repug nance Mad alarm : but to these curious strangers it ap;ears to be • matter of perfect indifference—indeed rather an agreeable relaxation than otherwise ; while, when the de. site for sport is strong upon them, they will run swords into their bodies, carry about sereents hnnging to their tongues, pierce their mouths and cheeks with long needles, err rather skewers, or allow • dozat strong men to haul at a rope which is twisted round their bodies until one would imagine that all their internal orgaus must be squeezed into n jelly, and the cordage opi.ears to be gradually entering into the flesh of the abdomen. And after going through all this they show no marks of suffering, but dance with more vehemence thin ever to the hideous music of the tom toms, the beating of which ac. oompanied all their performances, and by the vile sounds of which fletes•ahle instrument tiny are supposed to be I excited to a condition of religious fervour, which can only find suitable expression in these strange proceedings. Cu. tines as are theso tricks—and tricks we presume they are, although we coatess ourselves unable tai penetrate the secret of the illusions—they are by no means altogether agneahle to witness ; but another, in which one of the performers appe as to remove, or actually removes, his I : eye from the socket with the point of • sword, is absolutely revolting. The audience yesterdayafternoon was composed entirely of men, but even for some of them this part of OM performance was a little too strong. In the prseenTe of ladies it would be qu:te inadmissible. The performers were watched most closely, but as far as we are aware no one who was present yesterday detected the secret by which they were enabled to execute these wonderful tricks. Whim one of the Arabs ea• a wine 81391 you could hear hint champing the material with his teeth, while the heat of the burning charcoal wi.ich another of them held in his mouth was tested by the simple but effectual expedient of lighting vestnians at the pieces f while they ware between his lips. The same man exposed hie face and neck to the ir.dier.ce of a dame which not alwArL.- • ,jul,eyt. Deeth.vea THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1867. only ate not bum his skin. but did not even bioge a slight beard and moustache with which his sable countenance w..i ornsiLented ; while another held a bundle of Naming brands under his shirt, and in clone proximity to his naked flesh, without appearing to sustain any inconvenience. The performance yesterday at teinoon was only a kind of rebearml. When the public are invited to be present in order to witness these marvels we shou'd recommend ' some restraint should be imposed upon t.',o ex" , tions of the performers on the tom toms, whose monotonous strains are almost more excruciating than the Lideous melodies by which the performance' of the Japanese tumblers were accompanied. *parting intelitinut. THE SHREWSBURY MEETING.—MoNDAY. It is questionable if ever Mr. Frail's meeting was kali prated under such disagreeable auspices as it was to-day, .a dense fog hanging over the courae, rendering it quite impossible for the competitors to be seen until they were within almost a hundred yards of the stand. The fog set in on Sunday morning, but it cleared up considerably in the afternoon, and was not nearly so heavy to-day, but it was sufficiently thick to be disagreeable, and the jockeys complained that when they were on the far side of the course their jackets were saturated as if they had been in water. The company, however, was exceedingly good for the opening day, and there is every probability of the great Salopian reunion maintaining its accustomed pres tige. The programme for the opening day contained ten races, including a match between Moose and Alasley. The dull and foggy atmosphere necessitated an early beginning; the first event therefore was set for noon, and the business of the day punctually commenced. A trio only put in an appearance for the Abbey Stakes, and Miss Alice finished a hot favourite at even money. When the betting opened Brown Tommy was in most demand, but he displayed so much temper that he soon became the worse favourite of the three. When canter ing to the post ho reared and plunged on to the rails, un seating Cameron, who fortunately escaped without hurt. Cameron, it will'be remembered, fell twice at Liverpool last week without sustaining any injury, but to escape the third time in so short • period is a piece of more than good fortune. The " talent" were not fortunate in their first essay, as Miss Alice was easily defeated by Adaman thea. Moose with 2 to 1 freely laid on him defeated Alusley in a canter. The Cleveland Plate was contested fur by eleven of the twenty-five animals coloured on the card, and the only noteworthy features were the discom fiture of the favourites, Janet ltawcliffe and Corporal, neither of whom were ever formidable in the race, the issue, within a quarter of a mile from home, being left to Python, Sir Oliver, and Deceiver, the former winning cleverly by a neck, the last mentioned being defeated a head only by the second. L'Africaine, with odds of I 7 to 4 on her, won the Racing Plate in a canter from her two opponents, How-dye-do and Brown Tommy. The Stewards' Cup Induced but four of the thirt7-three animals left in to appear at the starting Scipio, when the numbers a ere announced, was 1 posh freely backed at sto 4, but the others being all backed, the betting settled down to 9 to 4 agst Mr. Stephenson's colt, 5 to 2 each eget Lady Pam and Cromwell, and 3 to 1 agst Minster Bell. The favourite commenced badly, being last until approaching the distance, where he gradually joined his horses, and won, after a rattling finish, by a neck from Cromwell. The Queen's Plate, with three runners, was a perfect farce so far as racing was con cerned, as the competitors walked and trotted for quite two miles, when the actual struggle commenced. Odds of 3to 1 were laid on Mandrake up to the flag falling, but while running even money was laid on the field ; the odds, however, were landed by the Liverpool Cup winner, al though Cameron had to ride him vigorously from the dis tance, as the horse was running in a very slovenly manner ; he, however, answered with characteristic gameness, and won by half a length. The Carnival Nursery, with thirteen runners, was productive of some very spirited speculation, Citron, with Butler in the saddle, being an immense favourite at 6 to 4. Lictor, Mellor*, and Paganini were in most demand of the others, but the large outlays in favour of Citron frightened intending backers. The race produced a fine struggle from the distance between Paganini, Beauty and Lietor, the "fiddler," although apparently having the wont of the struggle opposite the stand, answering gamely to Morilan's determined call, winning by a head. The winner is a Moe compact made colt, but the issue might possibly have been different bad not several of the competi tors been shut in at the tarn into the straight. Bounce away was opposed by Sour Grapes only for the Foregate Stakes, which she carried off with ridiculous ease, odds of 100 to 6 being freely offered on her. A Nursery Selling Handicap was won by the favourite, Retirement, after a spirited finish, by a head only. The sport concluded with the Wynnstaelter Handicap, which was carried o ff by Wild Moor, t he W favourite, Chepstow, being no nearer than fifth. Wild Moor it will be remembered was bought for a large sum by the Duke of Hamilton prior to the Derby, in which race he finished a good fourth. He never after wards showed an approximation to this form, and was claimed by Mr. E. Green, after being beaten at Lewes this summer. Sao:barometer has at last finished him turf career, having been purchased by Mr. dyke, Stanton, Shiffnal, Salop, for 1,200 guineas, for stud purposes. Mr. Eyke Laving bred this grandson of Sweetmeat and Defamation, naturally entertained a high opinion of him, and• there is every probability that " Old Sac " will win additional lustre and honour by his success at the stud. He is advertised to cover twenty-five mares at 15 guineas each in the forthcoming season. James Grinishaw was at Shrewsbury, and although he did not ride, he has suffi ciently recovered from the effects of the sprain —caused by his slipping on the kerbstone while walking—to be able to appear in the saddle. We are glad to hear that this popular jockey has concluded an engagement with the French stable, Count Lagrange having the third call, Mr. Merry being Grimahaw's brat, and Lord Westmorland his second master.

This order was maintained until the lot were fairly in the straight, where Beauty and Lictor owed the leader, Paganini heading Northern Star, and ing a slight advantage to the commencement of the stand enclosure, where Beauty appeared to have the best of the struggle, but Paganini answering gamely Mordan's resolute call won after a good finish by a bead ; half • length intervened between second and third.

The following address of Mr. Jacob Bright has been circulated by post to every elector in the constituency : :entleinen,--A melancholy event, which 1 have learned with deep regret, in common I am sure with every man of every political party in Manchester, baa causal a vacancy in the representation of your city. At the request of the liberal p,rty, I offer myself se a candidate for the seat thus rendered vacant. As I was before you at the last election, my °visions upon political questions are k:town to the constituency. I rejoice th►t, owing to the great exertions of the people, household suffrage in the boroughs of England is at length obtained, but regret that this change is accompanied by a vexatious interference with the ratep.ying system of the country, by which increased charges will have to be borne by num bers of men in the humbler ranks of live. The work of reform is yet only half accomplished. We must have the ballot, without which there can be neither fieedoin nor order at our elections, and a thorough redistribution of seats, so that national questions may be de►lt with in a national wine. The county fianchise must be recon sidered, for who can reconcile the wholesale exclusion of the people in the counties with their wholesale isdruission in the towns! Manchester, in common with a few other places, is, after this election, to he made the victim of an intolerable arrangement. We asked for, and obtained, an additional member, but we are denied the power to vote for him. I should not object to a division of the city, as is proposed for Glasgow, so that in each division the majority might return the members as heretofore. I am in favour of m system of national education, to bo sup ported by local rates, under local administration ; and I wouldgive a cordial support to the bill introduced into parliament last session by the ItightHon.A. Austin Eruct, as tending in that direction. I would also free the great Universities of Oxford and Cambridge from tests and re strictions, and make them, in the true sense of the term, national institutions. The general system of licensing must be brought under the consideration of parliament. In my opinion, the public-houses and the beerhousea should be subjected to the same restrictions and have the same privileges ; and in order to remove the dissatisfaction which is felt at the present mode of granting licenca, I would give a power of veto to the ratepayers. The clahn of the trades' unions for legal protection for their funds ought to be granted. The legislature should remove at once, so far as it has the power, the causes of disaffection in Ireland. It can dead with the church, it can modify her educational institutions, and it can give to the cultivators of the soil fall security for the fruits of their industry, without which prosperity is impossible. There should be no delay in reforming the representation of Ireland, for in no country that I am acquainted with is le presentation so complete a mockery. Holding, ea I do, the conduct of the Tory party for the last two years to be wholly indefensible, I yet think that it is *good thing for the country that the two great parties in the state hays entered into earnest competition to do the people's work. With this marked change in the political arena, and with a reformed parliament, I am sanguine that many important measures, which the best minds in the commu nity have long felt to be necessary, will now be obtained. Were I sent to parliament as your representative, I should give a conscientious support to all such measures, in accordance with the views which I have often expressed amongst you. Electors of Manchester ! If it be, as lam assured, at your desire that I enter upon a contest for the representation of this great city, give me an earnest and generous support. Let there be no uncertain issue to the struggle. Genuine liberal principles have had many • triumph here. It is in your power to make them triumph now.—l um, gentlemen, faithfully yours, Jaeou Emu HT. The Manehroger Examiner says there appears to be &dis position on the part of the conservatives to secede from their old compact with a section of the liberals, for whereas the coalition heretofore has been for the purpose of returning a liberal, if possible, unconnected with the supporters of Messrs. Barley and Bright, influen tilti members of the party are now resolved that any candidate for whom they will vote shall be a conservative. Even with the prospect of being beaten in their first essay, they will still prefer to enter a contest for one of their own party, in order to convince their late allies that co-operation for the future is not to be had upon the same terms as previously. Apparently they have not yet been able to obtain or agree upon a can didate. Mr. 11. R. Callender, jun., was waited upon by a deputitien, and declined the honour proposed to him. Another deputation has sought an interview with Mr. Alderman Bennett, to present a requisition to that gentle man, but the result is not announced. Mr. J. P. Brown- Westhead, ex-111.P. for York, and Mr. Mitchell Henry, who unsuccessfully contested Woodstock at the last election, are the two prospective candidates whose names Lave been chiefly talked of in liberal circles, apart from the actual candidature of Mr. Bright. THE SICK POOR IN TAE COUNTRY WORK HOURS& Last evening a meeting was held of the sub scribers and promoters of the London Workhouse Assoc's. tioo, which during the last session of parliament was the means of bringing so prominently before the public and the legislature the defects of the London workhouse in. firnianes as to bring about • change in the law. The par pose of the meeting last evening was to confer respecting 1 the condition of the country workhouse infirmaries, and to consider whether the associstion should extend its operations so as to deal with the evils which have been found to exist at Farnham, Bedminster, Clifton, Walsall, and other places. The meeting was held at the house of one of the hon. secretaries, 69, Wimpole-street, and among those pre. sent were :—Mr. Henry Goshen, Dr. Anstie, Mr. Berkeley Hill, the Rev. Frederick W. Russell, Mr. W. Gawthorpe, Dr. Stallard, Mr. Ernest Hart, Mr. K Thurston Holland, the Rev. Harry Jones, Mr. Basil Woodd Smith, Mr. J. C. Parkinson, Dr. R. lane, Mr. J. L. Walpole, Mr. W. H. Ashurst, the Rev. Henry %Mick, Mr. It. Boyd, Dr. Carr, Dr. Roger,, the Rev. F. W. Russell, Mr. G. M. Hill, Mr. R. Fowler. The Rev. HARRY JONZR presided, and letters were rem! from his Grace the Arch bishop of York, the lion. Percy Wyndham, M.P., Mr. H. C. Barclay, M.P., Mr. Raikes Currie, and Mrs. D. Laing expressing the view that the association which, at the close of lest session, was allowed to fall into abeyance, should now be revived and should act on behalf of the sick poor in the country workhouse', as it acted last year in London. Earl Grosvenor, M.P., also wrote, givisg his cordial approval to this course being adopted, but stating that he could not give the active support he gave last session, as he intended to leave England for the winter. Mr. Ernest Hart, one of the bon. secretaries, having ex. plained the position of the association to be such that it was competent for it to commenoe operations at once, he moved, and Mr. Goshen seconded, • resolution to the fol lowing effect, " That' it is desirable that the sphere of operations of this association be extended to the country workhouses, in order to obtain fur ther inquiry, and to assist in obtaining necessary reforms in the management of those houses." After some remarks by Dr. Stallard, who desired to see the association so extend its operations as to include the out door sick poor and other questions of poor-law administra tion, the resolution was carried unanimously. A lengthened conversation followed, and • resolution, which was spoken to by Dr. Stallard, Mr. Ashurst, Dr. Rogers, Dr. Carr, Mr. Goshen, and other gentlemen, was carried, to the effect—" That the action of the association shall at present he directed towards obtaining governmental inquiry, and, if needful, parliamentary action, with a view to remedy the existing defects in the country workhouses." Dr. Amide stated that it had been suggested to him that local associations should be formed in the different towns, and upon this point Mr. Ernest Hart said his experience taught him this would not succeed. The local feeling was too strong in most places, and he instanced the fact that though lie had written to all the medical officers of unions in the kingdom, very few were inclined to speak about their workhouses, and when • medical offioer admitted • reporting commissioner t• a workhouse, a. at Bedminster and Clifton, the guardians said the first reform they needed was to get rid of such a medical officer. After other business, the meeting adjourned. Txs ST. ALBAN's RITUAL CASE—Yesterday notice was given by the Arches Court that the case of "Martin v. the Rev. A. H. blackonochle,” which was ad journed by the special commissioners, Sir Travers Twits and Dr. Robertson, until this day (Tuesday', would not be taken until after the Court of Queen's Bench bad disposed of the rule granted on the application of the defendant. It Is expected that as the rule is mule returnable on the 16th instant, it will be beard on Monday. Neither the judge of the Arches Court nor the special commissioners will show cause. On the part of the promoter, Mr. Martin, au objection was raised as to the constitution of the court in respect of the special commissioners, and on the rule being made absolute, as it probably will on no cause being shown, the ease will be heard by Sir Robert Philliinore alone. His lordship originally proposed that lie should be assisted by the two learned doctors mentioned, but it was objected to, and the matter has been sometime delikpd.

AosicuvruPAL PamPacre.—The week opened with a think foggy morning, but the day proved fine and sunny at times , but rather cold, with barometer very high. Monday was again dry, with • thick atmosphere ; field work proceeding with activity, and a good deal of wheat went into the ground in fins order, a prime seed-sample being deposited. Tuesday the morning was dry and frosty, and autumnal tillage was prosecuted vigorously. Wind, N. ; thermometer 48 degrees in the morning, 52 degrees at mid-day ; barometer, 30.30 inches. Our ad vices on that day were as follows :—From Northumber land : " The weather has been changeable since our hat, with the wind from the W. and N.W. To-day was fine and frosty." From Suffolk on the borders of Norfolk it was remarked, " Wheat sowing is nearly completed." From the West Riding of Yorkshire : "Weather is fine for seeding and thrashing too, being mostly dry. Turnips and mangolds are being got up in fine order, but potatoes are still reported bad in many places." From the East Riding it was stated : " Weather continues as fine as pas sible for the season of the year, and seldom or ever has a finer seed-time been experienced. A larger breadth of land than usual has this autumn been sown with wheat, and under the most favourable circumstances." Wednes day was a *old breezy day, the thermometer of the pre vious night having registered 32 degrees; wind N.N.E. ; barometer 30.30 inches. From the west coast of Scotland it was remarked : " Since yesterday the weather has been dry and frosty." Field-work has consequently been con tinued with much activity throughout the length and breadth of the land. Thursday proved another fine and tolerably bright day, with the thermometer the same as on the previous night. The farmers could not have • better time for every description of out-door work. Our advice' from Warwickshire ran : " With the exception of Friday last, when we had a very wet day, the weather during the week has been most favourable for autumn sowing and planting, and • large breadth of land has been completed." From Suffolk: "We have happily an unusually fine wheat-seed, end, as far an covenants permit, every av a ilable piece of land will be planted with wheat." On Friday the morning was cold after the same register of tempora -1 Lure as during the previous two nights, with another fine day for field-work. Our advice, were as under—from Lincolnshire : " Wheat sowing is getting fast completed, and the weather has been very favourable for this. Early sown fields are coming up strong and vigorous, and if open weather continues • strong plant may be looked for. This is very desirable, as when the root gets firm hold of the land it ia less liable to become thin during the winter." From Norfolk it was remarked : " There is a continuance of fine weather, and the winds are mostly from the west ward." Saturday was a remarkably thick foggy day, with the barometer higher than it has been all the season which may portend sharp frost at no great distance. Am; wheat tillage draws to a close the farmers will have more time to attend to thrashing, and the markets may be better supplied with wheat than of late. On the amount they bring forward will depend the prices of the day. No doubt they are now satisfactory, and if they remain as high as at the present moment the growers will derive a good return, but it must be borne in mind that the yield is a very bad one, as now questioned no longer, and that this must have considerable influence on the markets up to another har vest.—Mark-lane Express. THE METROPOLITAN STREET TRAFFIC ACT. Lad night a meeting of oostermongen was held at the Nag's Head, Leather-lane, for the purpose of forming "A General Dealers' Protective and Benevolent Society." Mr. W. Osborne occupied the chair, and said that in Wal worth, Bermondsey, Limehonse, and near Pettiooat-lane, the new Traffic Act had been put in force, and was likely to be attended with most iIIJUIIOUII consequences. The oostermongers were a very useful class of people, who pro vided cheap and good food for the poorer classes of the metropolis, and he considered that any legislative measure interfering with their interests demanded the strictest and most serious consideration. In London at present there were legalised obstructions for the upper and middle classes, in the shape of thousands of cabs, which blockaded the public st,'eets, and in many instances for the habits.* of the Haymarket, and he did not see when such ob structions were tolerated by the authorities, that a class so useful as the oostermongers should be sub jected to police persecution. The Home Secretary bad urged on a recent occasion that the costermongers should have opposed the bill on the occasion of its pisauig through the House of Lords ; but how was it possible that illiterate men could have taken action in such a matter The Chairman then read the draught of iesolotions passed at a preliminary meeting, by which it appeared that the object of the association was to obtain the repeal of the Street Traffic Act, or some alteration in its working ; and to anply to parliament to fix upon places in the metropolis similar to the cabstands, where general dealers might carry on their trade in a lawful way. Mr. Davis, in the aurae of some remarks, said we have no proper retail markets in London as they have in Pans. The best means of obviating the difficulty in the act of parliament would be to legalise costermongering by licensing the coster mongers, and supplying each with • badge and a copy of fixed regulations. Mr. Sweeny moved that a petition he framed and presented to the Home Secretary praying that the provisions of the Street Traffic Act beam( upon the out-door dealers he amended. The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously. It was then announced that meetings of the society would be held every Monday.

A youth, named Thomas Barrett, was charged with stealing a tub of butter from the shop of Mr. N. Whittaker Leighton, provision merchant, 8, High-street, St. Giles's. Vincent Winter, an assistant at Mr. Leighton 's, stated that about half-past 8 o'clock that morning he saw the pri soner coining out of his master" shop with the tub of butter produced in hi. arms. Some one cried, "Stop thief," when the prisoner dropped the tub in the street, and ran away. Wanes. took the tub back into the ware house. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner was brought back by a man named Bowen, employed at Mr. Huntley's (a neighbour in the same line of business), who stated that he pursued him and caught him in Compton-street. The prisoner said the tub was given him by a little boy. There was no little boy in the shop, and the foreman had only left the shop a few minutes before. The tub contained about 48Ibs. of butter, and the gross weight was 56Ibs. The prisoner pleaded guilty. He said he had no means of getting a living. He had tried to go for a soldier, but was not tall enough. There was no work to be got any , where now. He admitted that be had been convicted once before. - Mr. Flowers said this, at all events, was as bad a way of getting • living as the prisoner could have devised. He (Mr. Flowers) could well understand that men had sometimes great difficulty in getting employment, but it was a pity they should resort to a course which made their position ten times worse. It would be better to go to the parish and get relief, and if they saw that a man was willing to work and anxious to keep honest, they would assist him in getting employment. One thing was to be said for the prisoner that he was evidently not a very experienced thief, or he would have been prepared with a better tale than that which be bad told when stopped. It was an obvious absurdity to say that a little boy could have lifted that tub, and if he did, it was not very probable that he would present it to the prisoner, or that the latter would throw it away in the street. It was clear, therefore, that the prisoner was not a very clever thief, and even after this he might still recover his position if he would resolve to resist temptation. As this was his second offence, he must be punished more severely than before, but still he (Mr. Flowers) would mitigate the punishment as far as he could, and would only sentence him to four mouths' imprison ment. WESTIIINSTEL. Nathan Earl, a pri;ilc7in the 3rd company. first battalion, Grenadier Guards, was charged with the following violent and brutal assault. Ann Elizabeth Gripe—l am married, and my husband is in the Coldstream'. I formerllived in Castle-street, but now at rye-street. My husban ds at the Tower. I went on Saturday night to the Queen and Prince, in Knightsbridge, and looked for my husband. He was not there, but the prisoner was drunk and knocking • woman about. He hit a friend of mine with his cane, and when I told him not to hit her with his cane, but with his fist, he commenced knocking me about with his cane, out in the open court. He last of all took off bis belt, and hit me three times across the hand, and I believe he has broken it. They put it in splints at St. George's Hospital on Saturday night. Alter he hit me be ran away, and 10 minutes afterwards he Tact me, knocked tue down, and kicked me in the ribs, which ;are also bandaged. He wanted to fight • civilian as well. He was drunk. He ran into a shoe-shop, and the constable took him. Prisoner denied using his belt, said she struck him first, and was telling a parcel of lies. Sarah Ward, an ironer, said—l was in the public-bonne, and there waa a row about a pot of beer ; the primmer was going to strike a woman, and I asked him not to, and Mrs. Grice too. Then he bit her with the cane, and be struck her with his belt, which be had off, and cut her hand. He afterwards knocked her down, and kicked her several times. Police-constable Hall, 243 B, proved seeing the nom plainant's hand bleeding. The prisoner was secreted in • bootshop, and his belt was off. Prisoner denied the charge in toto, and said he never used the belt or kicked her. The sergeant of prisoner's company said his military character was good. Mr. Selfo I shall remand you, and require evidence of the injuries initiated from the medical man. THAMES. Christian Reithart:, M.D. aged forty years, of 19, Turner - street , Commercial-ro ad East, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk, sad incapable of taking care of himself. Charles Lotter, 334 K, stated that be found the prisoner dead drunk on Sunday morning at six o'clock in Turner street. Commercial-road, and procured a stretcher, on which he was carried to the station-house. The prisoner, in broken English, said be was a physician, and had just come from confinement. Mr. Paget—From confinement ; where have you been confined' The Prisoner—Yes, at a house the confinement took place. Mr. Paget —How long were you in confinement, end in whet part of the country? The Prisoner—All right ; at a place in Stepney. Mr. Paget—Do explain yourself. You say you come from confinement ; what were you confined for? The Prisoner— I came from a lady's confinement. Mr. Paget —You attended a lady in her confinement on Saturday night ; is that what you mean' The Prisoner—Yes : the lady was confined, and I did assist. Mr. Paget—And got drunk. It is • most reprehensible and disgraceful thing for a man in your position and of your education to be discovered in a public street on • Sunday morning hopelessly drunk, after attending a lady in childbirth. It is fortunate for you that you were taken care of by the police, for you bad a silver watch, a gold guard, three gold rings, two crucifixes and beads, three books, comb, two surgical instruments, and a bottle of laudanum upon you ; and all your property is saved. I am very sorry I cannot pass a severe sentence upon you. I can only tine you The money was paid. - - - THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark-lane Express.) The weather of the past week has been seasonably fine, though cold, with frequent fogs and frost at night. Wheat planting has therefore continued freely, as well as all kinds of field work. High prices and good foreign arrivals at so early • period of the season have produced , their usual effects in the absence of speculation, and markets have been drooping till an average decline of ls. to' s. per qr. has to be noted for the past week. Politics have suddenly changed by Garibaldi's crushing defeat and the retirement of the Italian forces from the Papal terri tories, and no European war now seems imminent. Bye pub lished statement from the Board of Trade it appears that about 20,000 mere acres of spring corn have been grown in England and Wales than in 1866, while the growth of wheat has diminished to about the same extent, this year being 3,255,917 acres, against 3,275,917 acres last year. Taking the yield generally at three quarters per acre, instead of the average 3i, we have the present growth as 9,767,751 qn., instead of 11,395,709 qrs. Our imports therefore to the end of September, 1868, ought to reach to about 8,6:0,000 qrs. ; but to be provided with a stock of 1,350,000 qrs. only, which certainly ought to be on hand, our wants would be 10 million quarters. The bright part of these statistics is the increase of our herds by 169,35.5 had, together with 5,304,082 sheep. But with this strong addition to our small cattle ought mutton to be so dear' Wheat in Paris has risen, and the accounts of the flour trade show an upward tendency; but we already hear of bread riots there, as well as in Devon. shire, and our prospects fur the winter are anything but assuring. In Belgium prices have rather gained during the week, as well as in several places in Germany ; but at Odessa the market has been calm, and in New York, with more liberal receipts and dull advice. from England, breadstuffs have been declining, At Montreal the bank failure has produced a stagnation in trade ; but our actual necessities are such that we look upon these depensions as certain to bring about • reaction in prices. The arrivals off the coast since Nov. 1 were 26 cargoes, of which 19 cargoes were wheat and 7 barley. Business was reported as follows :—Wheat, 24 cargoes in all, viz., G hirka, 61a. t t, to 625. 6d.; Polish, 695. to 70e. 6d. ;Sandoinirka, 735.; Banat, 525.6.1., free on board ;Danubian, 60a. to6lo. ;Saide, 565.; lbrail, 57a. Maize, 5 cargoes, at 395. 6.1. to 475.; rye, 2 ditto, at 515.; barley, 4 ditto, at 325. to 35a. 6d.; beans, 1 ditto, 41s. Tke sales of English wheat noted la st week were 108,1:40 qrs. at 695. 11d., against 79,096 qrs. in 1866. The London averages were 73a. ld. on 4,799 qrs. The imports into the kingdom for the week ending Nov. 2 were 91t:4.177 can, wheat, and 68,330 cwts. flour. Mon day in Mark-lane commenced on a small supply of English wheat, but there was a heavy arrival from abroad. The show of samples during the morning from Kent and Essex wee limited ; nevertheless buyers were very reserved, and factors were willing to make sales at a reduction of Is. to 2e. er qr., though only a small quantity was disposed of theat close of the market. The foreign demand also fell off, notwithstanding the possibility of war between France and Italy, and • similar decline was necessary in making only retail sales. Cargoes afloat were leas in demand, and fully Is. per qr. down. On Wednesday there were 1, 22 0 qrs per coast, =,630 qrs. foreign. The business of this day was quite limited, and the reduction of Monday was fully' maligned in the sales made of English samples. The foreign trade was on a limited scale, but holders were quite indisposed to make sacrifices. Friday's returns were 1,3110 qrs. coast wise, 32,170 qrs. foreign. Several of Monday's samples were then upon the Essex and Kentish stands, and native wheat remained dull. But there was evidently more dis position to purchase foreign, and several country millers were purchasers at Monday's rates. There was a good supply of flour on Monday, both as respects country sorts and foreign Backs and barrels. The trade, influenced by the state of the wheat market, was dull and fully la. per sack cheaper , both for Norfoika, French, and Russian qualities. Barrels were also down 6d., but the rates of town made were unaltered. On Wednesday there were 1,610 sacks per coast, 350 sacks 1,890 barrels foreign. Norfolka were then very heavy, at the reduction of Mon day, though factors were not pressing sales. The foreign trade was Ter) limited, without any quotable change of value. Town qualities were unaltered in value. Friday's quantities coastwise were 1,920 sacks, with 670 sacks 4.950 barrels foreign. The trade was quiet, but there was as reduction in prices, either of country samples or faraipt sorts. The supply of maize was mode rate on Monday. Full prices being asked, business was checked. With supplies on Friday reaching to 1,7f1 0 qrs., business was in calm. The supply of BritiA barley was moderate on Monday, but the foreign arrivals were im proved. The whole trade was very dull. Malting sort', both first and second qualities, were down Is. to 225. per qr., and low grinding were reduced fully Is. per qr. (t, is ednesday there were 1,570 qrs. per coast, 1,150 qrs. foreign. No improvement was then noted in malting sorts, but rather an increased dulness ; while foreign, bo th medium and low sorts, were a slow sale. Fridly's returns were 2,710 qrs. coastwise, 1,150 qrs. foreign. The trade in British sorts was again heavy. and Monday's rates for the best malting sorts barely sus tained, Rod even foreign grinding was difficult to place. The malt trade was slow on Monday at a reduc tion of 2s. per qr. The business subsequently tram. acted was rather in favour of buyers. There was a good supply of foreign oats on Monday, further increased by fair English and moderate Irish ► arrivals. All old corn, in. eluding Russian, was about Gd. per qr. dearer than on the previous Monday ; but the new Swedes brought by steamer, without being kalndried, were very damp and hot, so that in order to sell such an abatement of 6d. to Is. per qr. was necessary. On Wednesday there were no arrivals per coast, but 1540 qrs. Irish and 25,440 qrs. foreign. Amon g these arrivals were more undried new oats, which, being out of condition, were again rather cheaper. Friday's returns were :3,110 qrs. Irish, 51,710 qrs. foreign. With I this heavy supply of foreign the difficulty of sales in. creased till new badly-conditioned coin was down la, per qr., and even old rather lower. The supply of native beans on Monday was moderate, with however, fair foreign arrivals. The trade generally was slow, and prices much the same all through the week. The arrivals of peas on Monday, both English and foreign, were scanty, and prices of all sorts main tained—without, however, much briskness in the demand. As the week wore on, more demand sprung up. With* moderate arrival of linseed, this grain was firm, as well as cakes, and so the trade continued. Cloverseed was rather tending upwards, both red and white. Trefoil steady. Canary fully as dear. Tara remained dull. White mustard unaltered. The dull reports from London seemed to take the country by surprise, but the inflames was none the less ; though Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and some other places resisted a decline. Mazy pliers were only la. per qr. down, as Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Market Barbee', Newcastle-on-Tyne, Melton Mow. bray, Louth, and Newark ; but most were equal to the decline of London—say ls. to 2s. per qr. Barley was generally down la. to 2a. per qr., and oats rather lower. Edinburgh and Glasgow were down Is. to 2a. per qr. for wheat, and cheaper for barley and oats. Dublin was down &i. to 7d. per barrel for native wheat, and dull for foreign white. Oats and barley were Gd. per barrel lower. MARKET& LONDON IVEEKLY DOCK RETURNS.—Nov. 9. Impend. Donned.
