t. Stnt Rug. THE WINTER EXHIBITIONS. The first exhibition of the winter fine art season, which has now become so completely accepted as a most agreeable antidote to the fogs of November, is now open at the French Gallery in Pall-mall, where Mr. Wallis has transferred his interests from the Sutfolk•street gallery. filr. Wallis deserved well of his public when he arranged the very remarkable exhibition of pictures by English and foreign artists last winter season, and showed what could be done by enterprise and something more than au ordinary dealer's taste in the selection. We had the opportunity then of seeing more important works by some of the best painters of France and Belgium —such as Meissonier, Oeroine, K Fries, Jabibert, F. Plume* A. Bonheur, Dubuffe, end I. Bonnat—than had perhaps ever been brought together in this way before. An excellent idea of the various styles and methods of the foreign schools was to be gained by such a display, and in some respects the present exhibition, in a gallery of limited dimensions, would not be comparable with it, were it not that the greatest interest has been given to the exhibition by a single picture, on the largest scale, painted with very remarkable techni cal ability ; and what enhances the interest so much is that it is the work of an English artist—Mrs.Benham Hay. The name is by no means new to our exhibitions, as those will know who remember a pleasing little picture at the Academy of a fair English boy and a ragged peasant lad of Tuscany playing together, called " England and Italy," or the more ambitious attempts of her " Tobit and the Angel," and "The Return of the Prodigal." All these, how ever, bear scarcely any closer relation than experimental attempts to the important work now brought before us,evi dently after some years of devoted study and more ripened faculty. When we say that this picture is about 16 feet long, somewhat narrow in proportion to the length, con tains some twenty figures, and is painted throughout with singular completeness and finish, some idea may be gathered of the mere technical labour that hasbeen brought to a task enough to daunt many a man of our most expert painters. Indeed, we can call to mind exceedingly few picture., with the exception of the largest works of Mr. Frith, that can bear comparison with this of Mrs. Hay's in thoroughness of work from background to the nearest detail of the foreground. As to other qualities, we shall speak of them after describing the picture. Without quoting the long description of the catalogue, the subject of the picture may be made intelligible as a procession of some of the enthusiastic followers of Savona rola, who went out every day during the carnival of 1497, to collect objects for the " burning of the vanities," which the hero religionist himself encouraged every evening in the great square of Florence. Pluott. LONDON BALLAD CONCERTS. A new aeries of these entertainments, under the direction of Mr. John Boos►, was commenced last night at St. James's-ball. The programme comprised some well-known ballads and songs by Arne, Storace, Horn, and Bishop, with others ty Alexander Lee, Hatton, Na than. Claribel, and some from less familiar sources, all which received due (in some instances undue) effect from the expressive singing of such artists as Madame Lem mens-Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mademoi selle Liebhart, Mr. Cummings, ■nd Mr. Lewis Thomas. Some glees and part-songs were very nicely sing by the St. Cecilia Choral Society, directed by Mr. C. J. Hargitt ; and the vocal music was agreeably diversiAed by a violin solo on Scotch airs, brilliantly played ►y M. Sainton, and some pianoforte pieces, ad mirably executed by Madame Arabella Goddard—Thal berg's Maasniello fantasia, and Benedict's "Erin"—the former vociferously encored, and responded to by the same composer's fantasia on " The last rose of summer." Mr. J. L Hatton accompanied the vocal solos with his usual skill and care. ALIIAMBRA.• —A few weeks ego we had to notice • new comic ballet at this theatre of varieties, and this week a new " Rustic Ballet" has been produced, under the title of May Blossoms, which introduces nearly all the Old English dances that have been celebrated in England for many centuries. The scene, painted by Mr. William Calloott, is profusely decor►ted with real shrubs, wood. foliage and artificial Bowers, the dances—including the maypole and morns dance—have been srranged by Mr. Milano, and the music, selected from old English airs, is the work of Mr. Riviere. The ballet is performed by a mixed company of men and women, about eighty in number, and is the second of the three ballets of the evening. Einibtrditg Intelligence. CAMBRIDG E, Ocr. 29.

The chief guests will dine at the Victoria Hotel, and followers in the rank and file will dine at the same hour in the different wards in the borough. Those who have dined will afterwards adjourn to St. George's Hall. invitations are to be given to a large number of M.P's., including Lord Houghton, Mr. Bright, Mr. Baines, Mr. Statuteld, Mr. T. B.

BIRMINGHAM CATTLE Snuw.—A deputation from theßirnsinghant and Midland Counties Cattle Show Society attended as a deputation upon the Privy Council. on Tues day, with reference to the holding of the next cattle chow in Bingley-hall, Birmingham. The Earl of Powis stated that the object of the deputation was to obtain a license to hold the show. He pointed out that no ease of cattle plague bad occurred in the town or district since March, Is6l, and also stated the precautionary measures which were taken by the council of the cattle show to prevent any diseased animals being sent. In reply the Duke of Marl borough (President of the Council) said that on and after the 4th of November no license would be required for the movement of cattle in any part ts: Greet Britain except the metropolis, and that the object of the Privy Coun c il in licensing esti , bitions was to retain th , power of revoking the same should any fresh outbreak of erode plague occur. He informed the deputation that a limbs* would be issued without any restrictions as to time or place of removal, or dad. of slaughter, subject only to the power of revocation before alluded to, n.iiiiely, an outbreak of cattle plague in this neighbourhood. The effect of this unrstricted license will be that those who send cattle fur exhibition may either remove the beasts borne again, or sell them for slaughter in Birmingham or elsewhere; but any cattle they may send to the Smithfield Show in London cannot, under caste's( regulations, leave the metropolis alive.

Although the weather to-day was more favourable to the sport than that of Tuesday, the attendance was even more limited, and the meeting cannot be considered as anything else but a failure, and the clashing with Worcester was as unfortunate circumstance, which, if possible, will he reme died in future. The sport was of an average character, but speculation was of the tamest description. None or the races merit any description here, the appended return presenting all the features.

Early in the morning The Peer was backed at 10 to 1, but subsequently 11 to 1 was offered by one speculator, who finally increased his offers to 15 tol. Before the close of business, however, 12 to 1 was accepted several times in well-informed quarters. Mandrake was the rest beat supported, finding in the first instance friends at 100 to 7, and although a point more was subsequently laid he had a healthy appearance. The same horse, com bined with Minster Bell and The Corporal, was supported for seven fifties, seven ponies, and 600 to 100. The other horses named in the quotations came in for only a trifling amount of support, the tameness of the betting being attested by the fact that at the close the offers were " 20 to 1 bar two."

The disgraceful proceedings on the part of cer tain jockeys at Newmarket, on the Cambridgeshire day, are about to form the subject of • series of inquiries in the police courts, and will doubles/ furnish considerable em ployment to the gentlemen of the long robe. The first of these inquiries took place at the Newmarket Petty Session on Tuesday, when Henry Parry and Thomas Cotton, two well-known jockeys, were charged (before Mr. J. Dobede and Major Fryer) with having assaulted Mr. James Leth bridge Templar, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Numerous statements as to the circumstances of the affair have been published, but the statement of Mr. Templar himself, as deposed to before the magistrates on oath, was to the following effect :—The complainant was formerly • student at Cambridge rniversity, and now resides at Har row, and as he was visiting at the house of a friend, Mr. Kenyon, in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, he and Mr. Kenyon went on to the heath together on the CAM bridgmbire day to witness the racing. When one of the races was being run, • servant of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales very indiscreetly rode across the course, and two of the competing horses, named Water Core and Faaby, coming in collision with the horse the servant was riding, a general "spill" was the result. Mr. Templar and his friend happened to be near the spot at which the occident occurred, and, after making an ineffectual at tempt to secure Water Cure, who had broken away, and was galloping along the course without • rider, he went to the other horse, who was lying on the ground apparently injured, and with • man sitting on his head to keep him down. Mr. Templar understands something about horses, and be suggested that it would be better for the animal to he got up, and the loan having moved from his head, he took hold of the bridle, and got him up. After leading him • short distance along the course • groom came up and claimed the horse as belonging to his stable, and Mr. Templar at once gave him up. The horse, however, staggered • good deal, and ap peared much injured, and Mr. Templar was accompanying him along the course, walking within a yard of his hind quarters, when Parry, who was on • hack, rode between him and Esaby, the horse striking complainant's shoulder and twisting him round. Parry, at the same time, used the expression, "I suppose you are some veterinary." He took no notice of this, but upon Parry repeating the act he said "You needn't ride over a fellow." L'pon Parry attempting to do so again Mr. Templar laid his hand on the bridle of the horse to prevent his being ridden over, when be immediately received • severe blow on the head from Parry's whip. Almost at the same moment be was struck in another direction—be believed by Cannon. The defendants wore then joined by several other jockeys and a mob of roughs, some mounted and some on foot, and was knocked about on all parts of his head and body with riding whips and bets. On attempting to make his escape he was permed by the mob, who rode him down, and actually rode over him, beating him severely while upon the ground ; one of the horses also trod upon his body. He was at length joined by his friend, Mr. Ben you, who was also assaulted, and both made off towards the enclosure, when they were again pursued by the mob, who raised the cry of " Welchers," and they had to run the gauntlet through a shower of blows, ultimately succeeding in gaining the enclosure, from which, however, .hey nar rowly escaped being turned out upon suspicion that they really were welchers. Mr. Templar was then taken in Sir Robert Pigot's carriage to the Rutland Arms Hotel, where he was attended by Mr. Fsircloth, surgeon, who found him suffering from numerous severe bruises and con tusions on his head and various parts of his body, and en injury to the groin, which it is feared may produce hernia. After the magistrates had heard the evidence of the complainant, Mr. Bevan, Mr. Fsircloth, and a clerk in the telegraph office, who spoke to the past taken by Cannon, • consultation took place as to the proper course of proceed ing, the result of which was an agreement on both sides that it would be better that the case should be sent to the Cambridgeshire Quarter Sessions for trial, and the further examination of witnesses (of whom there are a great number) was adjourned until Monday, the 25th November, in order to suit the convenience of all parties concerned. Mr. Salmon, of Bury, is the attorney for the prosecution, and the defence is entrusted to Mr. W. 0. Kitchener, of Newmarket. FAT IL GUY ACCIDENT.—NEWCARTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNEHDAT.—Considerable sensation has been amused in this town this morning by the intellieenoe which has reached here that Colonel Harrison. an officer in the In dian army, and brother to Mr. T. E Harrison, the civil engineer. was accidentally shot yesterday, and that he had died during the night. Colonel Harriann, Sir Bedworth Williamson, and a party, had been shooting on Rimside Moor, near Rothbury, yesterday, and, according to the information that has arrived in this town, Lord Raveemworth was showing Colonel Harrison • gun made upon an approved principle, when it exploded. Th e c h arge lodged in one of Colonel Harrison's legs, shattering it fear , fully. A gentleman who had been in Indian warfare hap pened to be one of the party. He took up the arteries, and the wounded gentleman was carefully removed to the rectory of Eglingham, about two miles off. The best mrilical assistance was procured, but the unfortunate gen tleman sunk and died during the night. His wife and eon were telegraphed for from London, and they are on their journey to the north. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Briars Mr. Justice Bytes.) E 1110131.112 CABE OF ATTIIIPTZD 1110EDIF. Sarah Barbara, 27, a married woman. was charged with feloniously casting and throwing Sarah Raeburn the younger into a quantity of slacked lime, with intent to murder her. Mr. Straight prosecuted. The prisoner was not defended by counsel. This case was one of a very singular character. The prisoner was walking along Newington-causeway about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon with the child in question, which was ten months old, and as she was pass ing a place where some building repairs were going on, and where a quantity of slacked lime was lying on the ground th rew the child into the lime, and then jumped upon it. The child was fortunately res cued without sustaining any injury, and on the prisoner being asked how she came to commit such an act, she said that trouble had driven her to it. It appeared that the prisoner had been married for eight years, and that she had three children living, and it was stated that down to the period of this occurrence she bad behaved very kindly to all her children. In the course of the case the sister of the pri soner was examined, and she stated, in answer to a ques tion put by the learned judge, that the prisoner had been confined for two years in Hanwell Asylum. The only witness who was examined to prove the fact of the prisoner having thrown the child into the lime stated in the course of her evidence that at first she thought the prisoner had slipped, and that the child fell into the lime accidentally. The jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Gaily, and they stated, in answer to a question from the learned judge, that they were of opinion that the prisoner did not intend to murder her child, and that the affair might have been an accident. There was another indictment against the prisoner which charged her with a common assault arising out of the same facts, but it was not proceeded with. ~wotity of property belonging to Alexander Job n Stewart, ber master. _ _ _ Mr. Straight, who was instructed to prosecute, informed the court that the prisoner bad for a lung time been carry ing on a systematic course of fraud. bbe had, by means of a false character, at one time obtained • situation in the establishment of Lady Combennere, and upon her being discharged she attempted to obtain valuable property from Messrs. Howell and Jaraes,and other West-end tradesmen, by means of forged orders. In one instance she made use of the name of Lady Combermere, and in another that of Lord de Blaquiere, but fortunately inquiries were made before the goods were supplied, and the privoner was detected. The Common Serjesnt sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. WORCESTER AUTUMN MEETING. The second day of the meeting passed off succesafully, the company being very numerous, the fields large, and the racing good. The only sensation of the day was the overthrow of Goojerat, who was booked a " certainty for the Grand Stand Plate, and supported for a large sum of money. The Severn Bank Stakes resulted in an objec tion against the winner, it being asserted that he was a thoroughbred, and consequently liable to a penalty of 10Ib. over and above the 71b. extra be carried as a winner —that is to say, 171 b. extra in all. The objection will, in all probability, be decided upon by the stewards to morrow. In the course of the day there was some little betting on the Liverpool Autumn Cup, the Peer and Caithness coming in fur most support. Details are ap pended.

John Bishop 30, brushmaker, was charged with felt. niously wounding him wife, Anne Bishop, with intent to murder her. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. The prisoner was undefended. When the prisoner was called upon to plead to the charge he replied that he knew nothing about it, and The learned Judge directed that a plea of not guilty should be entered._ - The prisoner and the prosecutrix lived at No. 2, North- street, Ileanal-green, end on the morning of the kith of September they were in the bedroom together, the sister of the prisoner being also present. The prisoner told the latter to go home, and immediately after she left, and while the prosecutrix was in the act of undressing herself to go to bed, the prisoner went up to her, and inflicted a wound upon her throat. The prisoner appeared to have gone out into the street after committing the act, and he exclaimed, " Mother, mother, I have done it," and uNn his being taken into custody he told the policeman that he would give him the knife that it was done with, and he pulled a knife out of his pocket and gave it to him. The officer asked him why be had done it, and he replied that he (the policeman) would have done the same if he had found his wife with another man. The knife with which the wound was inflicted was one which was used by the prisoner in his business as a dealer in cats' meat to cut the skewers with. Anne Bishop, the wife of the prisoner, who was very much affected while giving her evidence, and who re peatedly entreated for merry for her husband, deposed to the circumstances under which the act was committed, and said that she had not bad any quarrel with the prisoner on this night, and he was generally very kind to her except when he had been drinking. They had been out together on the evening before, and the prisoner bad drunk a good deal of gin and beer. It appeared that the wound was now nearly healed, and that no serious consequences whatever were likely to result from it. It should be stated that there did not appear to be the slightest foundation for the statement made by the prisoner to the policeman that his wife had behaved improperly. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said he had no recollection of having wounded his wife. They bad been out drinking, and were both the worse for liquor, and he (lid not remember anything that happened after they left the public-house. He said that he was very so for what had occurred, and he would ne v e r ge t d again. The mother of the prisoner was called as a witness in his behalf, and she stated that the prisoner was always kind to his wife, except when be was the worse for liquor, and then be did not appear to know what be was about. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of unlawfully wounding. The learned Judge told the prisoner that the jury had taken a rely merciful view of the case. He had committed a very serious offence, and the least sentence he could pass upon him was eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY. Alfred Go&amide, a respectable looking man, surren- dered to take his trig upon an indictment preferred under the Bankruptcy Act, which charged him with having un lawfully disposed of • number of watches three months previously to his having been adjudicated a b►nkrupt, with intent to defraud his creditors. Mr. Poland and Mr. Butler Rigby conducted the prose cution. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis were for the defendant. The defendant, 'it appeared, had carried on business as a jeweller in Houndaditch, and became bankrupt in the month of June of the present year, his debts being over 3,0001., but it appeared that he save up property to the amount of 1,1001., and that a composition of sa. in the E was also offered. A short time before his bankruptcy he seemed to have purchased a number of watches, and the case for the prosecution was that he had fraudulently disposed of these watches by pawning them. There did not appear to be any dispute as to the facts, but the defendant denied that he had any intention to defraud his creditors at the time he pledged the watches, alleging that be bad done , so under a temporary pressure, and that be employed the money he so obtained for the purposes of his business. ' Mr. Metcalfe, in his address to the jury on behalf of the defendant, contended that the case was one that was not contemplated by the statute, and that there was no foundation for the charge that was preferred against the defendant. He argued that it was a bs olutely neesseary to prove that where property was disposed of by a bankrupt it was done fraudulently, and that there was no such evi dence in this case, and that the defendant was entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Justice Keating having gummed up the evidence, the jary deliberated for nearly an hour, and then stated that they were not likely to agree to • verdict. The learned judge, at the request of some of the jury, then read over the whole of the evidence that had been ad duced, and the jury again held a consultation, after which they returned a verdict of NolGuilty, and the prisoner was accordingly discharged. William Rowley, 58, bookkeeper, and William Roper. 18, labourer, who, although of different names, stood in the relation of father and son, were charged, the former with feloniously uttering two orders for the payment of the respective sums of 3/. 15e. and 61. 18a., and the latter with feloniously uttering the same with intent to defraud. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. The case against the prisoners appeared to be that they bad by some means or other obtained possession of a num ber of blank cheques on the London and County Bank, and that the elder prisoner seemed to have written letters to different cigar dealers, enclosing cheques for various amounts, and giving orders in the names of various publi cans in London for certain quantities of cigar. The younger pi ironer was sent with these fraudulent cheques, and in many instances they succeeded in obtaining the property. As the case was proceeding, the elder prisoner withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty, and the jury in he result found the other prisoner Guilty also. It was stated that the elder prisoner had been carrying on a system of forgery for a long period. He bad been twice convicted of that offence, and In one instance there was this aggravation, that another son had been tried with bins but acquitted, and there was no doubt that be had brought up his children in the practice of crime, and ob tained their assistance in carrying out his objects. He had been previously sentenced to imprisonment and also to penal servitude, and very soon after regaining his liberty be again commenced his criminal course of life. There was no evidence as to how he obtained possession of the blank cheques. Mr. Justice Keating, in passing sentence, commented with great severity on the atrocious conduct of the elder prisoner in training up his sons to the commission of crime, and sentenced him to twelve years' penal servitude, and the younger prisoner to eighteen months' hard labour. (Before the Recorder.) George Dorsett, 34, stoker, William Grigg, 24, labourer, Octave Grigg, 21, sawyer, and lrilliaas 3), labourer, who stood remanded from last session, were indicted for burglary in the dwelling•house of Thomas Fairhead, and stealing 311 e. in silver and copper money. At the close of the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the whole of the primoners. They were apprehended after a desperate resistance, mainly through the exertion' of Constable Foy. whose conduit was so praiseworthy, that the learned Recorder awarded him a sum of 21. The prisoners were shown to have been asso ciated with thieves, and it was stated that previous to their apprehension there had been nine or ten burglaries committed in the neighbourhood, bat subsequently there had not been a single offence of this kind. The Recorder sentenced William Grigg to 1S months, George Dorsett and William Williams to 12 months, and George Grigg to nine months' imprisonment. (Before the Common Serjeant.) . _ • William Marsden, 2t, sailor, and Oeorye Smillt, 18, tailor, pleaded guilty to two indictments, one charging them with the offence of burglary, and the other with an ordinary felony. Agar, the principal warder of the City prison, proved that each of the prisoners had previously been convicted no less than eight time upon charges of burglary, and other offences. The Common Serjeant sentenced Marsden to be kept in penal servitude for eight, and Smith for seven years. Mary housetra.d, 34, a respectable looking woman, pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering • forged order foe the delivery of goods, with intent to defraud, and to • second indictment which charged her with stealing • TEE POLICE COURTS. GI7ILDHALL A person who was summoned as "A man whose name is unknown," but who told the magistrate that his name was Thomas Atchuoa, and that he was a merchant carry ing on business on the first floor of No. 5, Gutter-lane, appeared before Alderman Hale to answer a charge of assault. When the summons was called on, the defendant pro duced two summonses, both addressed to " A man whose name is unknown," which he said hut been served on himself. J. Roe, the chief officer of the court, said he served the two summonses on the defendant, one for himself and one for his friend, and he asked him to give it to his friend. The defendant said he had not seen his friend since, and did not know who he was, or where he lived. Mr. Martin, chief clerk, informed the worthy alderman that this was a ease in which the defendant and two of his friends stood in their own offices, and with pea-shooters annoyed a number of girls, who were working for a wholesale mantle maker opposite, to such an extent that they could not open the windows to ventilate the place. On Friday last one of the young women was struck in the eye and severely hurt by one of the persons referred to. Alderman Hale asked who the other two persona were. After a great deal of prevarication the defendant said their names were Tom Davis sad Palmer, but he did not know where they lived. They wanted him to let them sell his goods on commission, and one of them had sold some for him, but he did not know where he lived. He trusted him without having any references with him. The two persons he referred to, having nothing to do, used to go up to the third floor, which was unoccupied, and there smoke and drink to "kill time." He only knew them from coming there to ask him to let them sell his goods on commission. He lived at Arphuid-grove, Hackney. John Masters 'blatant to Mr. Spreckley, the employer of the young girls referred to, corroborated Mr. Martin's statement, and added that about a month ago the de fendant threw a nut at the window, and broke a pane of glass. He promised to pay for repairing it, hut had never done so. When be complained to the defendant about his conduct be broke a pane of glass in the °thee, pasted paper over it so that their faces could not be seen, and then made a hole in the paper large enough to admit the end of the pea-shooter, and through that they continued the annoyance. The defendant admitted having broken the window, and offered to pay for it. He went up there to have his luncheon, and after that he bad some walnuts. He ob served the young ladies cpporite look very longingly at them, and then he threw a few across to them, and one of them broke the window. Louisa Denny, one of the young women employed, said that on Friday she was struck in the eye by a pea out of a pea-shooter, but she could not say who did ft, because their faces were behind the paper which was pasted against the window. Alderman Hale said be should let the summons stand over for the present, and issue warrants for the apprehen sion of the other two men whose names were represented to be Davis and Palmer. The owner of the house a 2, Great College-street, Cam den-town, was summoned before Mr. Barker, at the in stance of the sanitary committee of the parish of fit. Pan cras. for allowing the drains of the house to be in a de. fective and offensive state, the privy to be without water supply, and the whole to be in such a state as to be a nui sance and injurious to health. Evidence was given as to the state of the place, and it was mentioned that one person had recently died there of typhoid fever, caused by the offensive smell in the house wising from defective drains. Mr. Barker made an order for the immediate euppres sion of the nuisance, as well as for the necessary works to be done, and also directed that the defendant should pay full costa. William Bennett, aged 25, a labourer, who gave a false address, was charged with stealing a brass tap and a piece of lead pipe, the property of Messrs. Gilbert and Riving. ton, at St. John's-place, ClerkenwelL From the evidence of Police-constable Foster, 278 G, it appeared that yesterday morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, he met the prisoner coming out of the court and trying to conceal something under his coat. He asked the pnioner what he had got about him, and he said no thing; but, not believing that story, he took him into custody, and found the articles mentioned in the charge sheet in his possession. The pipe and tap, it was ascer tained, had been taken away from the building, and was safe on the previous morning. The prisoner said he did not steal the pipe ; a man gave it to Inui to carry. Mr. Luker then committed the prisoner to the Middlesex sessions for trial. THE METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC REOLLATION ACT. Last evening a meeting of the hackney carriage proprietors of the metropolis was held at the Cambridge hall, Newman-street, Oxford-street, for the purpose of adopting measures antagonistic to the Metropolitan Traffic Regulation Act, " with its lamp tax, increased power, and oppression." Mr. Gower occupied the chair. Mr. Wright, the solicitor to the committee which watched the interests of the trade during the progress of the bill in parliament, addressed the meeting at considerable length. He said that two highly objectionable clauses had been added to the law relating to hackcey carriages, one being that in future they should carry one light at least, and the other requiring that • sixpenny fans should be paid where the carriage was not on the stand. There was no doubt that the bill was passed into law at the eleventh hour, when it was hastily considered instead of being referred to a select committee of the house. However, be was in • position to state that there was a strong desire to legislate further on the subject, end ho believed the present government would pro mote the introduetiou of • new bill. Mr. Crocker, the secre tary of the committee, gave an accountof the interview be tween members of that body and Sir R. Mayne. The Chief Commlaaioner of Police had told them that the fare when • cab was taken (rout the stand would be Is., and in other cases the fare would remain as hitherto. He had also said that he did not see how one lamp could be practically used in the " four-wheelers," and that therefore two were required- Sir Richard thought that the compulsory use of • lamp was necessary for the public protectiou. He was dig satiated with the want of cleanliness in cabs, and with the dress of the drivers, who, in his opinion, should wear the dress of the Paris cab-drivers, namely, • black glazed hat and a blue coat, with gilt or brass buttons. After enumerating all Sir Richard Mayne 's replies, which were re. °deed with laughter and disapprobation, the speaker conclieleil by stigmatising the bill as • n.iserable abortion. Mr. Hsrvey moved, and Mr. W. Cane seconded. the follow ing resolution, " That this meeting is of opinion that the compulsory use of lamps is unnecessary, oppressive, and expensive, and a tax which all proprietors must resist by every legitimate mains in their power, and we strongly object to be thus singled out and so stringently dealt with without special necessity being shown from other of her Majesty's subjects." The mover and seconder pointed out that • cab-owner plying his trade with one horse and cab was required to pay the government 19f. Ils. annually. They therefore protested against the imposition of further taxation. The proceedings shortly after terminated. TRAFFIC RETURNS. I ' 11411.WAYP. Miles Pas- Mar- Total.

COTTON GOOD.S.-11A.nowsnol, Ocr. 30.—Our rr poet of Friday last described this market as having bola active during the week, with a decided advance in pries. This week the more unfavourable news from the continent of the attitude of France on the Roman question has had a bad effect on business, discouraging shippers very cos. siderably. Yesterday there was less business done for India, South America, the Levant, and particularly for the continent. Home trade buyers also displayed much or. willingness to operate, and it was difficult and almost Ws paasible to obtain last week's prices. To-day the market is again exceedingly quiet. The quotations for lii'm to 32's water twist are fully Ad. per lb. lower than on Friday, with but little business doing. India mule yarn (40's) is also id. per lb. lower, and home trade yarns are Id. to Ad. cheaper. The cloth market is dull, and though idlers' quotations are nominally the seine as those given at the end of last week, buyers do not find much difficulty in supplying themselves on eavier terms. Still there are large contracts in the bands of manufacturers, and more Srmnes, prevails than might be expected, considering the inactivity.
