from holding the cry of " Vive Poland" to be illegal, must now decide whether to say "Vivo GarilNaldi" in the streets of Paris is contrary to the principles of 1789 and the constitution of 1852. I - hear rumours that the cries were much more serious. manifestly hostile to the French govern_ went, and that violent scuffles took place between the people and the police. A duel was fought yesterday in the Bois de Mention between Prince Achille Murat and the Marquis de Galliffet. The Marquis received a sound which is said to be " not serious." This is the sequel of the one which took place a few days „go between the same cousin of the Emperor and the .Marquis de Itougts. A fashionable journal speak ing of that encounter said the causes of it were in e verybody's mouth, but could not conveniently be meounted by the pen. This mysterious announce ment naturally led to the supposition that a lady w:l3 in the case ; but it was not so. "Everybody" now knows that the cum.+ &Ili arose out of a letter written by the Marquis de Halliffet, a colonel of a French crack regiment, reflecting severely upon certain departments of what, in England, would be called the " War-office." The contents of this letter, in some way or other, came to the knowledge of Prince Achille Murat, and he blabbed them to the Emperor. The Marquis de Rougiand the Marquis de Gelliffet took wager of battle upon the issue that the Prince was guilty of a breach of confidence in disclosing the contents of the letter. His case is that he came by the knowledge under circumstances which gave him a right to use it. Thu Bourse received a slight fillip from the Mar quis de Moustier's circular, but soon collapsed.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) ne RE J. T. CARR. _ Tae bankrupt was a timber-merchant, of Douglas-road, Canonbuty. This was the sitting for examination and dis charge. The debts, secured and unsecured, amount to 4,176/. ; property held as security, 2,925/. Mr. Lucas opposed for the creditor, and examined the bankrupt as to the dates of the mortgages held by the secured creditors. Further amounts were asked for. After hearing Mr. ]trough for the bankrupt, Hie Honour directed an adjournment. lY RR GEORGE AUGUSTUS HENRY BALL The bankrupt in this case is well known from his con nection with the periodical press. He is described uof 04, Sloane-street, Chelsea, previously of Paris, previously travelling on the continent of Europe, previously of Guild ford-street and Bernard-street, Russell - square , and for merly of Mexico, the United States, and the West Indies, during the whole time newspaper correspondent, and contributing to a daily newspaper. The adjudication was on his own petition ; he ascribes hie failure to in sufficiency of income and the payment of heavy travell expenses. His debts are stated at 2,659/.; the princi pal crediton are the proprietors of the bails Telegraph or 500/. This was the sitting for examination and diacharge, but the regular accounts had not bun filed. _ Mr. Reed, on behalf of the bankrupt, asked for an adjournment. A proposition bad been made to the cre. ditors, and almost unanimously accepted, which would lend to the bankruptcy being superseded. Mr. Sala had been enabled to make this offer through the assistance of friends who bad come forward on his behalf. He asked for an adjournment of six weeks. Order accordingly. In RE Z. E. BCOTT. The bankrupt, en accountant, of Lombard-street, came before the court with debts of 9,9701. and assetsof 51. only. It was stated that he had received 1,0001. from • creditor to invest, and had never iiivested it. An adjournment was ordered for a cash account. Mr. Godfrey appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Chid. Icy fur the bankrupt. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) ---...----- (Before Mr. Justice Bytes.) mottos or WILFUL MORDES. Row ilalilwws, 21, a good-looking girl, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child by cutting its throat. Mr. Montagu Williams prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton and Mr. Streight. This cue stood over from the last session, and although the charge was of this serious character the facts lay in a very narrow compass. The prisoner was in the service of • lady named Schofield as domestic servant, and for a short time prior to the 14th of August a suspicion bad been entertained that she was in the family way, but the prisoner seemed to have denied that this was the we. On the night of the 14th of August, however, the prisoner appeared to have got up and gone downstairs, and her mistress, in consequence of the suspicions she entertained, got up shortly afterwards and followed her, and put some question to her. The answers that she pre and other circumstances induced Mrs. Schofield to send for • doctor, and Mr. Woolley, a surgeon residing in the neighbourhood , very shortly after wards went to the house and sow the prisoner. She appeared to be very ill, and Mr. Woolley ordered her to be put to bed and he speedily discovered that she had been recently de livered of • child, and upon his expressing this opinion to the prisoner, she at once admitted that it was • fact. Mr. Woolley then inquired where the child was and she said in the cellar. He proceeded there and after a short search he discovered the body of a child, nearly covered with coal dust, and quite dead. After tho body had been washed it was discovered that there was • fearful wound at the back of the neck ; and upon the prisoner being asked how that wound had been caused, she said that she had done it with a knife, and in the kitchen a knife was found covered with blood. The medical evidence went to show that the child was a full-grown child, and Mr. Woolley expressed an opinion that it was born alive, or that at all events it had breathed, and, in addition to this, the lungs appeared to be fully inflated. The police-constable who was sent for to take charge of the prisoner, said that be found her in bed, and when she saw him she inquired whether he was going to stop with her, and be told her that he was. He then told her that it was a bad job, and she replied, " Yes, I did not know what to do with it." In answer to a question put by Mr. Ribton in cross examination, Mr. Woolley expressed his opinion that the prisoner was a girl of weak intellect ; but he at the same time stated that he had never seen her until the morning in question. Mr. Ribton made a most feeling appeal to the jury on behalf of the unhappy misoner, and he urged in th e fi rst place that the f a ct h a d no t been sufficiently clearly estab lished in a legal point of view that the child was born alive, and that they would be justified under those cir cumstances in convicting her of endeavouring to conceal the dead body of the child. lie then referred to the evi dence of the surgeon relative to the mental condition of the prisoner, and said that the jury might reasonably come to the conclusion that she did not know what she was doing at the time the act was committed. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the gaol of Newgate, was ex amined by Mr. Ribton on behalf of th e p r i soner, an d he said that he was of opinion that the deceased was of very weak intellect, although he would not undertake to say that she was not able to distinguish between right and wrong. In answer to a question put by the learned judge, Mr. Gibson stated that he was unable to form any opinion as to the condition of mind of the prisoner at the time the act was committed. The jury found the prisoner Pot Guilty of murder, but Guilty of concealing the birth. Sentence was deferred. (Before Mr. Justice Beating.) THE CHARGES OF STEALING £13,000. William John Hurst, clerk to a stockbroking firm, sur rendered to his bail to take his trial on several charges of embezzlement, and of obtaining by means of false pre tences the signature of his employers, Rainier William Elwyn, and others, to three bankers' cheques to a very lame amount. Mr. Serrant Ballantine (specially retained) and Mr. Bede) , conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was de fended by Mr. H. Giffard (specially retained) and Messrs. Sleigh and Hadley. Mr. Giffard remarked that the relations between the prisoner and his masters were such that the defalcations were treated as matters of account between them, and he therefore thought the prosecution would not proceed with the charges of embezzlement ; but with reference to ob taining the signature of the firm to the cheques, the pri soner would now withdraw his plea of not guilty to that indictment. Mr. Serpent Ballantine said, undoubtedly his clients treated the defalcations se civil matters between them, and under the circumstances be would not tender any evi dence in support of the charges of embezzlement. This course having been allowed by the learned judge, and the prisoner having pleaded guilty to obtaining the signature of the firm to cheques he appropriated to his own Use, the jury formally found the prisoner .Not Guilty of embezzlement. &Memo we deferred. THE EXPRESS, 'WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1867. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE METROPOLI- TAN RAILWAY. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.-(THIS DAY.) This day Dr. Lanketter resumed his inquest 2 . 2 the body of Elizabeth fitainsby, whose death was to have been caused or accelerated through the frures of the air in the tunnels of the underground rail way. The evidence up to this time had shown that the deceased was 'Miming from disease of heart at the time of her death. Professor Rodgers, lecturer on medical jurisprudence and on chemistry, was the first witness, and at his request the evidence of Dr. Popham as to the appearances of the body was read to him. Dr. Popham added that he bad found the deceased wns tightly laced, and that the result would be to compress her chest and to II:Ow& the free action of her lungs. Professor Rocrs read a report which be had made upon samples of air taken on four ditiereut occasions from the tunnels of the Metropolitan Railway, and also from various other tunnels. The air in its pure condition contained 2,080 volumes of oxygen per 10,000, and from 31 to 0'1; of carbonic acid. On the ith of September he found that in the worst tunnel (i.e. Gower-street) there were 1,870 mea sures of oxygen, and there was but • slight trace of car bonic acid. The highest amount of carbonic acid he had found on any one occasion was 181 per 10,000 ; but the atmosphere of • theatre four feet above the stage was 231. The slight deficiency of oxygen which he found would not act injuriously even upon delicate persons passing as they did rapidly through the tunnel in trains. Thought that under the circumstances under which the deceased had entered the train—that was to say, considering that she had eaten heartily, was tightly laced, had diseased heart, and was already faint before she entered the tunnel—her death had resulted from natural causes. Perceived the odour of sulphurous acid in the Gower-street station ; but the highest quantity that wit ness found was 1 part in Z 3,000 ; which was not more than would be given by a match lighted in that room. Thought there might be more sulphurous acid at one time than another ; but thought there was sufficient ventilation to prevent the accumulation to any injurious extent of gases which would be prejudicial to the public health. Thought that the railway might be employed with perfect safety ; and witness would not mind going up and down the line any number of times • day. None of the servants of the company had made any complaint to witness. The Coroner—Then you would not mind staying in the tunnel all day —that is if you were handsomely paid for it. (laughter.) Witness—lt is not an atmosphere one would choose con stantly to reside in ; but it may be advantageously com• paired with that of other tunnels and crowded places. Mrs. I'embridge, who had travelled from Portland-rood station with the deceased, said that she did not feel oppressed by the atmosphere of the carriage. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. (who appeared for the railway com pany) then read the following report, to the truth of which the subscribers swore : " REPORT Or AN EXAMINATION Or Till AIR IN TIIR TUNNEL% Or THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY : " London, October 23, 1807. " Having received instructions from the directors of the Metropolitan Railway Company, through Messrs. Bluebell, their solicitors, by letter addressed to Dr. Itachhoffner, to examine and report the state of the atmosphere in the different tunnels on their line, and on the sanitary con dition generally of the stations and tunnels, we beg to present the following as the result of our investigations : We proceeded in the first instance to obtain samples of the air in the tunnels, and we collected them on three separate occasions—namely :—First, immediately after the trains had ceased running at night ; secondly, just before they commenced running in the morning ; and thirdly, in the afternoon between 4 and u o'clock, the period of the day when there is generally the largest amount of traffic. The sample■, 28 in number, were taken ►t different places in each tunnel, and at different altitudes ; some near the crown of the arch, some near the ground, and others on a level with the heads of the passengers. These samples were analysed for sulphurous acid, carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, coal gas, and oxygen. The presence of sulphurous acid was sought for by the most delicate chemical test with which we are acquainted, namely, its action upon iodic acid and starch, which we have ascertained is capable of showing the presence of one part by volume of sulpburou■ acid in 100,000 parts of air, but we could not in any case discover by such test the presence of this acid ; from which we conclude that its volume was less than the above in the tunnels. The proportion of carbonic acid by volume in 10,000 parts of the air in the several tunnels and stations was as follows : Max. 311 n. Mean Items! between Bishop's-road and Edgware road, 2 a.m. Sept. 3 4l 41 41 Tunnel between Edgware- i . l 4° , : . . 3 7 :6 0 road aid Baker-street .. 4 Sept. r Baker-street Station, 4 p.m. Sept. 10 6.2 Tunnel between Baker.l 6°36'61 Sept. 3 6* 46 61 2to tam.

S 31 4•4 49 1 , 2 to 4 a.m. Sept 661 41 4 street and King's-aroes The amounts of cube-hydrogen (coal gas) and of carbonic oxide present were so small as to be barely discoverable by the most delicate processes of analysis. Lastly, we ascer tained that the amount of oxygen in the air of the tunnels and stations was not in any case deficient. These results prove that in no instance was the air found to be vitiated to any material extent, although it will be seen that the air ' taken in the afternoon was law pure than that taken at night. The researches of Regnault, Barmen, and other eminent chemists, and more recently those of Dr. Angus Smith show that what may be termed " model or normal atmospheric, air" in cities and large towns consists in every 10,000 parte b 7 volume of oxygen, 2,096; nitrogen, 7 900 ; carbonic acid 4 ; —lO,OOO. It is the last constituent which when in excess renders the air impure, and, in proportion to its increase, so is the air made unfit for respiration. Experiments conducted by Dr. Bernays and Dr. Angus Smith have shown that in several of our London theatres at about 10 o'clock p.m., in many other places of public re id, and especially in some of our law courts, the quantity of carbonic acid in the atmosphere of those places varied from 10 to 32 parts per 10,000 ; and from the Army Report (vol. v. page 272) it spears that in some fairly-ventilated barracks at Alder shot the quantity of carbonic acid at midnight amounted to 6'42 per 10,000 of air, and at 5 p.m. it amounted to 7'39 per 10,000. Even in the streets of Manchester, in foggy weather, it has amounted to 8 parts per 10.000 of air. In order to determine the atmospheric conditions ,of these tunnels by comparison with the condition of the air in the tunnels of other lines of railway, we took samples of the air from several tunnels near London ; and from these, which we designate by numbers only, we ob tamed the subjoined results : Tunnel No. 1-41 Carbonic acid per 10,000 of Air by volume. „ „ 2-121 „ „ 3-41 „ 4-41 „ „ 9--4 ' 2 „ „ „ 10-51 „ $0 „ „ 11-41 „ „ „ 12-4 '' „ 19-41 Our inquiries were next directed to the quality and quantity of the fuel used in the engines, and to the mode by which its combustion is effected. The plan adopted (with which we cordially agree) is to diminish as far as practicable the combustion of the fuel during the passage of these trains through the tunnels and 'tannin. The steam in the boiler is raised in the open air to a tempera ture and pressure which, by experience and daily practice, is found sufficient to work the trains through the tunnels ; and, when the trains come again into open space, fresh steam is then generated sufficient to propel the trains through the next journey, when the process is again re peated ; by which means the engine-driver is enabled, when passing through the tunnels and stations, to close the fire-box and damper so as merely to keep the fire in such • condition that it may he email,- revived at either end of the journey. The evolution of the products of combustion is thus almost entirely con fined to that portion of the journe when the trains are passing through the open spaces. T he coke is of a superior quality, being made from • coal which is known to he more than usually free from iron pyrites, and it is burnt in the ovens for twenty-four hours longer than the or... Email coke generally used upon railways. In addition to which staff of eight men and a foreman are constantly employed in examining and selecting the coke, so as to ensure that none but the best quality of coke is transmitted to Lou don for the use of the Underground Railway. To determine the per-osntage of sulphur in the coke, 13 samples were submitted to chemical analysis, and these gave an average proportion of percent, of sulphur, which is about one- Jonah the quantity found in ordinary coke. As regards the coke, therefore, we see nothing to which we can take exception ; hut, on the contrary, we are of opinion that the hest available means are used for obtaining a fuel as fres from deleterious matter as possible, in addition to which the combustion of the same is conducted with the view of preventing aa far as possible the escape of offensive gasses. The presence of sulphur, or more correctly speaking of sulphurous acid gas, in the tunnels and stations, which at times is appreciable both to taste and smell, more particularly on those days when the external atmosphere is unusually dense, must not be taken as an indication that this gee exists in , dangerous quantities, for as litre as one part of this seas in 100,000 parts of atniospheric air is strongly perceptible both to taste and smell ; and paper moistened with solution of iodic acid and starch becomes tinged with a blue colour when exposed for a few minutes to air having , the above proportion of sulphurous acid. On several oc casions we have exposed this delicate test to the air in the tunnels while parsing through them, both in the car -I:ager and on the engines ; and, although the quantity of air thus brought into contact with the test has been considerable, yet it has only been during the time of active traffic that the test has shown the presence of sulphurous acid, and then in an in significant degree. In addition to the above, we beg to point out another cause which communicates to the air, more particularly in the stations, • pungent smell, which, although disagreeable, cannot in the slightest degree be regarded as injurious to health ; we allude to the partial combustion of the wood forming the breaks when acting upon the tyres of the wheels in chocking the speed of the train as it approaches the stations. The number of trips I made by the trains through the tunnels daily amounts to :158, of which 294 are by the narrow.gauge trains, and 74 by the breed-gauge. Each of the nmeow-gunge trains occupies 20,000 cubic feet of space, and those of the bread-guage 23,000 cubic feet. The length of time occupied by each train in pass ing through the tunnels and stations is ten minutes. There are numerous openings communicating with the ex ternal atmosphere above, amounting in the aggregate to :4,104 square feet, and distributed in the following man ner: 'mutely, Baker-street station, 1,162 square feet; Portland-road station, Bi;3 square feet ; Gower-street sta tion, 939 square feet. The western end of the tunnel at Edgware-road opens into a large area called the Yard, and at the eastern end of the tunnel at King across an opening has been made directly into the at mosphere.4ofeetin width, in addition. By an extensive series of thermometric obser vations, we find that there is an average difference of about P 7 dept. Fahrenheit between the temperature of the tun nels and that of the external atmosphere ; the mean out side temperature being 70 degs. Fahrenheit, while the air in the tunnels had a mean temperature of 68•3 de a. Fahrenheit, so that it was 11 demi. Fahrenheit colder than the external atmosphere. During the winter months this condition will possibly be reversed ' • but in either case there will be a rapid change of air by an ascending and descending current. Having regard to the cubical volume of the trains, the short time occupied by them in passing . through the tunnels and stations, the large volume of a ir which they displace, and the increased impetus given to the horizontal move merit of the air by the rapidity of their transit, we are of opinion that the vitiation of the atmosphere cannot be of • serious character, and this accords with the results of our analysis. A careful inspection of the tunnels boa also shown that they are well constructed, and are generally dry and free from infiltration of liquid or other matter prejudicial to health, with the exception of a portion of the tunnel between Portland-road and Cower-street. To this we directed the attention of Mr. Fenton immediately after our first inspection ; and we are happy to be able to add that the defect was at once attended to, and it is now in a perfect sanitary condition. We find on inquiry that the general health of the employes is such as to a ff ord unquestionable proof of the sanitary condition of the air in the tunnels. From a statement fur nished to us by Mr. Fenton, it appears that the per centage of sickness and mortality of these persons is con siderably leas than that of the employes on the Great Western Railway. To this fact we may add the results of our own personal inquiries, which fully confirm it, as many of the engine -driven and guards have we find been in the service of the company sinoe the opening of the line. They are to all exteinal appearance robust healthy men, and they have assured us that since they were first appointed they have scarcely had • day's illness. From the foregoing facts, we are enabled confidently to state that the atmosphere of the Metropolitan Hewn) is not unwholesome or injurious to health. Piffled/ " GEO. H. BALCHHOFFNEI, Ph.D., F.C.S. kc. " Hr. Lrrimay,. 111.8., M.A., &c., Professor of Chemistry in the College of the London Hospital, and Medical Officer of Health for the City of London. "J. Wfirrhont, M.D. Ac.. Medical Officer of Health and Chemical Examiner of Gas for the parish of St. Marylebone." Mr. Myles Fenton, general manager of the Metropolitan Railway, said that previous to the death of the deceased be had received no formal complaint of the state of the line ; but witness's own observation bad satisfied him that it was desirable to improve its ventilation. Openings were made at the Gower•atreet station six months ago, and therefore before the death of the deceased ; but those in Baker-street were not made till afterward". At the opening of the line some porters were taken ill ; but that arose from the use of coke of inferior quality, and from the want of skill of the firemen; but since the com pany had taken the working of the line into their own bands, no complaints had been made. Some time ago a number of the company's hands had retired from the Great Western Company's Provident Society on the en• press ground that their own rates of sickness and mortality were much lower. The Coroner—Then perhaps it might be contended that small doses of sulphurous acid pa and carbonic acid gas were beneficial to health. I dare say you might produce doctors who would say that. (Laughter.) Witness—l do not say it ; but it should be borne in mind that our men are protected from the weather. Frederick Gibbons, an inspector of the line, gave similar evidence. Dr. Letheby said that sulphurous acid might be detected when the wind was blowing against the test pawls, but not from any quantity of the air that would be Wren away for examination. The nose could detect sulphu rous acid more readily than any chemical test. The presence of 1-100,000 th part would in sonic cases produce coughing. In stopping the trains a carbo-hydrogenic gas was produced by the partial charring of the wooden breaks ; and that was far more perceptible than the sulphurous acid. Some people would of course be more sensitive to these gases than others ; but in no case did witness think the most susceptible person would be injured. Had calculated the amount of sulphurous acid evolved by the combustion of the coke, and witness did not believe that it would be sufficient to harm the most susceptible person, even if the whole place were shut up for the whole eighteen hours. It came, in fact, to 215 in 100,000 volumes, or 0 . 00205 per cent., which WAD quite incapable of doing mischief, even if the tunnels were hermetrically sealed. Dr. Letheby then tested the air of the room by means of barrel water, and found that it contained 44'4 volumes of carbonic acid gas for 10,000, which was three times as bad as the worst tunnel. The Coroner said he was exceedingly glad that the inquiry had been held, for it had conclusively shown that however oppressive the atmosphere of the tunnel, might at times seem it did not contain anything that was really dangerous or prejudicial to health. The jury, without hesitation, found a verdict of " Died from natural causes." THE LATE GALBS.-LIFEBOAT SERVICES. GIR VAN, N. 8., Ocr. 28. During a heavy gale on the night of the 26th inst. (reports John B. Hose, Esq.) the smack Margaret Davies, of this place, in making for the bar refused to answer her helm, and was driven chore on a reef of boulder stones south of the harbour. The crew expected to get her off, but the gale increasing to a hurricane, the vessel became a total wreck, and those on board bad great difficulty in securing themselves on that portion of it above water, as the sea made a clean breach over them. The pilot-boat tried several times to get off to her, but was unable to do so. The Girvan lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, the Earl of Carrick, was, however, promptly launched, and succeeded, after two hours' exertions, in saving the shipwrecked crew consisting of three men, who were nearly exhausted. They were then brought safely ashore. A very heavy sea struck the life boat after leaving the wreck, and completely filled her, but she was all right again in • minute or two, and the crew are highly pleased with their boat. The rescued men are deeply grateful for the services thus rendered to them by the lifeboat, as they are sensible that they could not have been saved by any other means. EXMOUTH, DEVON, TUESDAY NIGHT. Some fishermen in running for the harbour at 1 o'clock this morning, observed a vessel on shore on the Pole Sand, off Exmouth (reports Mr. Hawkins, the officer of coast guard). Imme dia tely on landing they oommunicated this intelligence , and the Victoria lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution and stationed at this place was launched as soon as the crew could be assembled. It was blowing a gale of wind at the time from W.S.W. The lifeboat was taken in the direction pointed out by the fishermen, but could not find a vessel ashore on any part of the sand, although they searched for a considerable time. The lifeboat there fore returned to the shore, and the crew remained by the boathouse until daylight, where they discovered that the vessel seen by the fishermen was the sloop Industry, of Exeter, bound from Salterton to this place in ballast. She had struck on the nand, but after being there for about an hour, she had beaten off into deep water, and stood off shore until daybreak. TENBY, TUESDAY. During a fresh gale, with • heavy sea, on the afternoon of the 27th instant (says Captain Drummond) a ideal awl observed to be hoisted on a flag-staff on Caldy Island, denoting that • vessel was in distress outside the island. The lifeboat Florence, of the National Life. boat Institution, immediately proceeded out to her assistance, and found that the smack Queen Victoria, of Brixham, bound from that port to Saunderefoot, with a cargo of li,ueatone, was in a disabled state, having been dismasteri by • heavy squall. The services of the lifeboat were tendered to the master and gratefully accepted. The vessel was then taken in tow of the lifeboat, and with the usistance of another boat which happened to be in the bay at the time, and after five hours exertion, the vessel and her crew of two men were brought safely into Tenby Harbour. THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER ON THE RITUAL ISTIC PRACTICES AT ST. ALBAN's, BI EWING FI Al.f.-A letter is published in the Birmingham Daily Poct from the Bishop of Worcester in reply to a memorial sent to him complaining of ritualistic practices in St. Alban's, Birmingham, in which his lordship says:— " There are many things in the conduct of public wor ship at St. Alban's, as the account which you have sent me describes it, of which I greatly disapprove. But I apprehend that a bishop has no power to forbid and prevent them unless it can be clearly shown that they are contrary to the law of our Church. I have satisfied myself, after careful consideration, that iota* of the practices objected to are contrary to our Church's law, and I am supported in my view by the opinion of eminent lawyers who have been consulted on the subject. But as opinions have been given to the contrary effect by other lawyers, who are also eminent, and as it is well known that the question of the legality of some of the practices, to which great objection has been made, is now in process of trial before the Court of Arches, I think it right to abstain front issuing any prohibition until that question ha been 'settled."

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARX-LANZ.--(THIS DAY.) The fresh receipts of wheat from Essex and Kent coast wise as well as by rail, were only moderate, but in fair average condition. For both red and white parcels, the trade was firm, and the full prices realised on Monday were well supported. There was a fair show of foreign wheat in the market. The demand was steady, at the late improvement in value. Floating cargoes of wheat commanded a fair share of attention, at full currencies. Barley, afloat, was scarce and dear, whilst maize was held for quite as much money. The few samples of English barley on the stands were mostly disposed of at full prices.

Mews. rattenden and Smith report the trade quiet but firm, choice descriptions b!ing eery scarce. The meeting for the inquiry into Farnham Workhouse intended to be held on Friday next is post poned. A girl called at Miss Rye's office yesterday for information about the colonies. Seeing she bad many misgivings about life in Austral*, Miss Rye asked what she considered the special drawback to living in Victoria, to which question she received the ensuing answer—" Oh (with a long sigh) I do bear out there they does perch upon the trees." After the dinner at St. Cloud on Sunday evening in honour of the Emperor of Austria, a council of ministers wee held at half-past 10, the Emperor presiding. This was the second ministerial meeting during the day, but the members of the Privy Council were not present on the latter occasion. Intelligence received from Florence at an advanced hour of the evening, and especially the forma tion of an Italian ministry and the proclamation of King Victor Emmanuel, formed the motive for holding the second council. The ministers returned to Paris half an hour after midnight. NEWMARKET FARMERS CLVH.—The ninth ftnni of this club was held at Newmarket yesterday i re Tri l e ‘ aay), and was celebrated, as usual, by a dinner, pre sided over by his Grace the Duke of Rutland, and at tended, amongst others, by Lord George Manners, M.P., Viscount Royston, )1.P., and Lord Augustus Hervey, M.P. The principal speakers were his grace and Lord Royston, the latter of whom, in returning thanks for " The Members for Cambridgeshire and Suffolk," alluded at considerable length to the action of the conservative government in passing the Re form Lill, contending that it bad then been proved that the conservative party was a progressive party, and desirous of doing all in their power to promote the ad vancement of the country ; end he expressed his confidence that the " leap in the dark " would prove a leap through darkness into light. Reviewing the aspect of affairs at home and abroad, he enforced the necessity of putting down Fenianiam by the strong arm of the law, denouncing the leniency that bad been shown to the Irish convicts as productive of mischievous results to those misguided people, and declaring his conviction that if the sen tences passed had been carried out, Fenianism would by this time have been exterminated. with regard to the continental struggle, though Garibaldi might have great intluence, he did not believe that the present revolution was destined to pull down the temporal power of the Pope. The Duke of Rutland did not look so hopefully on the effects of the reform bill, and considered that the government had taken a wrong dap in conferring the franchise upon the people before edn caUng them for its exercise ; and he stronglT urged that it was the duty of all, whatever might be their position and opinions, to endeavour to prepare the people by education in for the proper exercise of the enormous power now placed their hands. MONEY MARKET.—(THIS DAY.) oxi o'Ciuoi. There is little business to-day in the markets for public securities, and prices generally present no variation, in the absence of fresh new s of importance from abroad. The public still hold aloof from the Stock Exchange, and, apart from some bo,of fide investments in the English funds on banking account, the transactions are almost entirely specu lative. Most of the departments, however, are characterised by firmness of tone. Consols have advanced 1-16th per cent., and some of the foreign stocks Ito 1. The changes in home railway secu rities are evenly balanced. Attention is princi pally directed to the fortnightly settlement, which will be completed th;s afternoon. The applications for discount are upon a mode rate scale, and choice paper is taken at 11 per cent., or a below the Bank minimum. Short loans are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 per cent. Consols are quoted 94 5-16 to 7-16, or 941 both for money and the account (Nov. 7). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. remain steady at 921 to 1. The railway market is inactive, and, with the exception of a reduction of to 1 per cent. in Caledonian and Great Northern A, and a rise of 1 in London, Chatham, and Dover, and Brighton, prices show no change. Annexed are the quota tions :—Metropolitan, 122 to 1 ; Great Western, 461 to 47 ; London and North Western, 1141 to 1 ; Midland, 1181 to a ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1127 to 1 ; Caledonian, 89 to 1 ; South Eastern, 671 to 1 ; Great Eastern, 32i to Great Northern, 108 to 109 ; ditto A, 1121 to 1131 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 171 to 18 ; North British, 33 to 1; and Brighton, 53 to 1. Foreign stocks meet with inquiry. Spanish Cer tificates are in good demand, and have risen 1 per cent., viz., to 16a to 1. Spanish Passive and Mexican are 1 better, at 181 to 19 and 15 to 1, respectively. Turkish of 1862 are quoted 631 to 64 ; ditto of 1865, 311 to / ; Greck, 121 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 441 to 1 ; and Chilian Scrip, 1 to dia. American securities are steady, at the 'closing prices of yesterday. The 5-20 Bonds are at 691 to 1 ; Erie Railway shares, 44 to 47 ; and Illinois Central, 781 to 791. Atlantic cable shares are unaltered. Anglo- American are quoted 171 to 1 ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, 31 to Bank shares exhibit steadiness. London and Westminster are called 701 to 71/ ; Union of Lon don, 37 to 38 ; Alliance,l2 to 11 die. ; Imperial Otto man. 1 to 11 dia. ; and London and County, 54/ to 551. Financial shares are still neglected. Inter national Financial, 21 to 21 die. ; London, 25 to 24 dis. ; General Credit, 2 to 2A dis. ; and Credit Foncier, 81 to 61 die. It was noticed that a considerable amount of the railway stock that was taken off the market yesterday passod into the names of bankers who are making advances upon it at the instance of speculators. In the present state of the money market bankers, especially in the provinces, seem very willing to enter into business of this nature, and there is doubtless little to be said against it as long as an adequate amount of " cover" is insisted upon, due regard being had to the violence of the fluctua tions of which a railway stock is susceptible, as lately illustrated in the case of the Brighton and Caledonian. It must be apparent, however, that when a large amount of stock is thus pawned with bankers pending a rise in prices of sufficient im portance to bring it forth, the market cannot possibly be so strong or so sound inatrinsically as when stock is bona. fide absorbed by the investing public. _ In the Stock Exchange a bonus of 1 to 14 per cent. is being paid for the chance of the draw ing of the Turkish Bonds of 1862, which will take place next month, the understanding being that the bonds lent shall be returned as soon as the drawing is over. The 100/. Bonds of this loan are so scarce that the public broker of the Stock Exchange being commissioned to " buy in " some against a person who has failed to deliver them, was quite unable to obtain any yesterday, though bidding for them without any limit as to price. . The following relates to the New Granada Debt : Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have this day received the following remittance on account of New Granada divi dends. say 2,0001. from the Custom-house at Santa Martha ; 4851. 15a.

Ild. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. We are informed that Lord Stanley will receive a deputation of Venezuelan bondholders at the Foreign-office, to-morrow at 1 o'clock. Advices from Venezuela state that the revolu tion has not been put down, but, on the contrary, has become more formidable. The country is re presented as drifting into great disorder and finan cial distress. _ _ The amount of bar gold withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for emportation was 67,0001. The 101,0001. by the Mexican packet will be sent abroad, after being relined. Sydney advice, announce the sailing for London of the Rifleman, with 57,000/. in gold. The total on the way hither from Australia is consequently 939,0001. It is understood that a large amount of specie and bullion, which reached Vera Cruz too late to be sent by the steamer Atrato, will come forward by the French mail steamer, due at St. liazaire about a fortnight hence. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were steady, at last Friday a rates. Bills on Italy were quoted slightly less unfavourably for that country. The list is subjoined : Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.01 to 12.01 ; ditto, short, 11.18 k to 11.194 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.01 to 12.01; Antwerp, 3 mor the, 25.33 to 25.40; B russels, 3 months, 25.35 to 25.40 ; Haar.burg and Altona, 3 months, 13.10 to 13.101 ; Berlin, Cologne, ke., 3 months, 6.2 6 1 to R. 271 ,• St. Petersburg, 3 months 32 to 311 ; Paris. short, 15.12 i to 25.224; ditto, 3 months, ' 25.30 to 25.37! ; Marseilles. 3 months, 25.30 to 25.37 A ' • Frankfort-on-the-Maine, ' 3 months, 1201 to 1201 • Vienna 3 months, 12.67 to ' 12.70 • Trieste, 3 months, 12.67 to 12.70 ; Madrid. 3 months, 481 to 481; Santander. 3 months, 481 to 481;Csdis, 3 months, 491 to 49 : Seville, 3 months. 491 to 49 ; Malaga, 3 months, 481 to 481 ; Valencia, 3 months. 414,1 to 4SI; Bar. talons, 3 months, 484 to 481 ; BilMa, 3 months, 401 to 481 ; Saraipass. 3 months, 484 to 4n Leghorn, 3 months, 28.0 to 28.10 ; Genoa ' 3 months, 28.0 to 28.10; Naples, 3 months, 28.0 to 28.10 ; Palermo, :: months, 28.0 to 28.10 ; Messina ' 3 months, 28.0 to 28.10 ; Lisbon, 90 days' date, 511 to 51; ; Oporto, 90 dap' date, 511 to 514.

It appears that the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company's steamer Mataura arrived at Panama on the 4th inst. in advance of her time, and not a day and a half late, as stated in the telegrams in yesterday's papers, the through voyage from Sydney having been performed in two days less than the contract period.

W. H M.A., in the chair. The report of the committee, was read by Mr. J. H. Heeps, the hon. secretary. stated that although there had been so many organisatioes for the relief of gistrens during the last severe winter. th , institu tion had not only maintained its position, but its friends and supporters had been considerably augmented. The many urgent appeals for assistance to which the committee had gladly responded had hail the effect of leaving a very email balance in hand at the close of the season, but they confidently anticipated a renewal of that support which should =abbe them to carry out, even more efficiently, the boaeni••• objects of the society. Tickets had been issued during the season for 45,! i 9 half ewta. of coals and 160,1401ba. of ' bread. The committee had again the pleasure of acknow ledging the valuable services of the Hey. J. M. Bellew. who had kindly preached the annual sermoo on behalf of the society at St. Botolph, Bisbopagate. The repent haying bees adopted, the chairman advocated the allies of the society, and recommended the committee Se have the annual Renuon preached in West-end churches or chapels, as the usefulness of the charity would drift , become more widely known.
