The extensive homestead known as Lodge Farm, Barking, owned by Sir Edward Hulse, Bart., and tenanted by the Metropolitan Sewage and Essex Reclamation Company, was yesterday the scene of a Tel/ destructive fire. The farm is one of the largest in that locality, and is surrounded by • large area of land adjacent to the manhes, which have been ren dered remarkably fertile through the applica tion of the sewage from the Metropolitan main drainage works. The fire commenced at about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, and seems to have resulted from carelessness. A steam thrashing machine had been brought to the vicinity of the western end of the homestead next to a large barn, where also were several stacks of wheat, and thrashing was going on, when suddenly the roof of the barn On which hostas from the funnel of the steam engine had been falling during the morning, burst into flames. The wind at the time was blowing a strong gale from the south west ; consequently the fire spread with fearful rapidity. The labourers on the farm, acting under the direction of the manager, at ones did all in their power; but the combustible nature of the building, coupled with the high wind, rendered all exertions use. less; and in fact the men were forced to retire on account of the overwhelming heat. The barn, which was 100 feet long by 25 broad, with its store of grain, was soon swept to the ground. A range of cow-houses, 75 feet long by 30 (all brick and timber built), with cart houses, 60 feet by 30, soon shared a similar fate, as also several stacks of wheat and straw. The flames then travelled through other parts of the farm in the direction of the manager's dwelling-house, and its destruction seemed inevitable. By this time the local engines from Barking had arrived, and the moment the outbreak was seen from there the news was telegraphed to the fire brigade stationed at Stratford, as well as to the Wellolose-equsre station, from which engi d firemenwere at once despatched to the spot. The only available supply of water tube obtained was from a pond moms distance from the farm. The engines as they arrived were taken to its bank, and worked from it, and by means of several hundred feet of hose the firemen suc ceeded after some delay in bringing powerful jets of water to bear on the fire, which had by that time be come very extensive. The dwelling-house was saved, but nearly the whole of the farm buildings were consumed. Fortunately none of the live stock was in the farm at the time. There were several hundred head of cattle housed on the homestead, but these were grazing on the marshes. The fire was not safely got under till kte last night, when the London engines were withdrawn. The company had insured the homestead in the London, Guardian, and other fi re offices to the amount, it is said, of 10,000 i, DESPERATE POACHING AFFRAY /NDERBYRIIIRC.— One of the most desperate and dreadful poaching affrays that hes occurred in Derbyshire took place early on Sunday morning last, at Hopwell, • village a few miles from Derby. Between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning a gamekeeper named Stevens, along with an under.keeper were out watching on lands belonging to Mr. Pares, of Hopwell Hall, when they came in contact with a gang of four poachers, who immediately attacked the under-keeper with la rge bludgeons, knocking him down by blows on the bead, arms, and body. One of the poachers observing the apprmch of Stec ens, commenced an onslaught on him, but the head keeper bad a stick, and succeded in keeping his assailant at bey whilst he retired. Upon news of the affray reaching the village a search was made for the wounded keeper. After two or three hours had been thus spent, the under-keeper was found lying senseless in • field, with his bead partially cut open, and other parts of his body dreadfully cut and brai sed. He was carried home as quickly as possible, and attended by medical gentlemen. Early the game morning, Mr. Superintendent Whieldon, of the county constabulary, apprehended a poacher named Anthony, of Ockbrook, next village to Hopwell, and upon examining his house, found • large quantity of game, together withan unusualnumber of bludgeons, and, bag full et boulder stones, some of which were covered with blood. The officer at onoe took the man into custody, and yester day (Monday) morning brought him up at the County Police Court, when he was remanded. The underkeeper yet remains in a very precarious state. SIXOWIDES.—He comes from the inland of Brew, opposite Caria, and made his Bret public appear ance at Athens, where he offered some MSS. for sale, which be said bad been carried off secretly from Mount Athos. A commission, which was engaged to examine them, reported favourably, especially upon • MS. of Homer, which accordingly was purchased at a high price. Before very long it was discovered that the text of this ancient MS. was Wolfe, with all the errata. Next he appeared at Constantinople, where he tried hieroglyphics, cuneiform inscriptions, and Armenian history, but some what unsuccessfully. Nothing daunted he tried • new device, and came out as another Dounter Swivel. He de clared that at • certain spot an Amble MS. in Syriac characters would be discovered by digging. Workmen were accordingly employed, Simonides himself not being allowed to descend. By-and-by a pause was was made for luncheon and not long afterwards Simonides called out, "There it is ; bring it up." The soil about it. however, was quite different from that of the ground. The work men were grinning, and when interrogated confessed that daring luncheon the Greek came out for a short time, jumped into the pit, and began to borrow. He next made his appearance in England with, amongst other wonderful treasures, the MS. of Homer on serpent's skin, which professed to have been sent from Chios to Hip parchus, eon of Pisistratua This and several others be persuaded Sir Thomas Phillips to purchase. Almost the only libraries which be failed in cheating were the British Museum and the Bodleian. On visiting the latter place be showed tome fragments of MBB. to Mr. Coxe, who assented to their belonging to the twelfth century. "And these, Mr. Cone, belong to the tenth or eleventh century?" " Yes, probably." " And now, Mr. Coxe, let me show yon a very ancient and valuable MS. I have for sale, and which ought to be in your library. To what century do yod consider this belongs • " "This, Mr. Simonides, I have no doubt." said Mr. Coxe , " belon gs t o the nineteenth century." The Greek and his MS. &sap peared.—CoreAin Magazine for October. _ _ MIL ANTHONY TROLLOP ON POLITICS. —lt would be difficult in these days for any editor t 5 define with accuracy the line of politics which those wbo work I with him intend Co take. To declare one's self to be a re former at the moment in which household suffrage has been just carried by the government of Lord Derby, would indeed be to say nothing. Who is there that will say that be is not a reformer? If there be inch a one, he must be some Troglodyte, dwelling in caves, away from the haunts of men. And who is there also that does not feel himself to be a conservative while the perils hang over us of our untried household suffrage? The old denominations must give place to new before a ?Legacies or even a man can define his politics by a name. Either the one or the other may, indeed, still 'rapport a cause, and belong to a party in supporting it. Unless this he done, we do not under stand bow the study of politics can be made subservient to the welfare of the country. And we who are engaged in this new enterprise think that the good old liberal cause ?till needs support ; and we think also that, in spite of late disruptions, a party will exist in the House of Com mons, as well as out of it, to whom that cause is dear and who will bind themselves together for its maintenance. Perhaps after &tying so much an editor need hardly declare that the cause to be supported here will be the free govern ment of the country by that side of the House of Commons which in truth represents the majraity of the constituen cies. It would seem that stub a state of things must necessarily be the result of our constitution as it stands ; hat skill and resolution on the one side, with some awkwardness, and, alas I also, with some wen t of faith on the other, have no turned things round of late, that men Ir e d i sposed to think that skill is better than faith, and that i solution atones for want of principle more effectually than steadfast honesty can atone for awkwardness. This m*Pzizte, dear reader , is not established with any high Tel that it can set thee* things right if they be 'at as the widow's mite was ac c epted,—eo also may i i :ri n ttfe . out in good season, if it be spoken in the right spirit.— St. Pawls, No. I.

In the markets for public securities to-day the amount of business is very moderate, but consists almost exclusively of sales on account of specu lators who, after operating for some time past for a rise, have at length become discouraged, in the absence of bond fide purchases by the public and the banks. This remark applies especially to the English funds, which exhibit a fresh decline of per cent. Home railway stocks and foreign bonds are offered, but the reduction in them does not exceed to per cent. Banking. financial, and miscellaneous shares are very inao , tive. There is no alteration in the discount market, and the rate for loans on English Government secu rities in the Stock Exchange is still only I pe r cent. Consols are quoted 941 to for money and the Bth October, and 941 to 1 for the November settlement. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are at 921 to 1, ex div. The railway market is flat, and a decline of 1 to per cent. has taken place in Metropolitan, Mid land, Caledonian, South Eastern, Great Eastern, North British, and Brighton stocks. London, Chatham, and Dover, however, is 1 better. The present quotations are as follows : Metropolitan, 1241 to ; Great Western, 481 to ; London and North Western, 1141 to 1 ; Midland, 1211 to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1271 to 1 ; Caledonian, 1041 to 1051, ex div. ; South Eastern, 69?, to 1 ; Great Eastern, 32 to 1 ; Great Northern, 1101 to 1111 ; ditto A, 117 to ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 20 to ; North British, 321 to 331 ; and Brighton, 541 to 1. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rents* opened at 69 for the account, being about the same as yesterday. As regards foreign stocks Turkish of 1865 (Five per Cents.), Spanish Passive, the Committee's Cer tificates, and Italian of 1861 have receded 1 to 1 per cent. Turkish of 1862 are at 62 to 63 ; ditto of 1865, 311 to 32 ; Greek, 13/ to 141 ; Spanish Passive, 191 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 16k to 1 Italian of 1861, 47k to 481 ; Chili= scrip, 1 to 1 prem. ; and Mexican, 151 to 1. _ _ _ American securities and Atlantic Cable shares are without variation. The 5-20 bonds are quoted 72} to I. Erie Railway shares, 413 to 423 ; Illi nois Central, ni to I ; Anglo-American Telegraph, 17# to ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, 311 to I. Bank shares aresteady. London and Westmin ster are at 68 to 69 ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Alliance, 10 to 9 dis. ; Imperial Ottoman, 1; to 0; die. ; Chartered Mercantile of India, 28; to 294 and London and County, 55 to 56. The shares of the financial companies have been dealt in to a moderate extent. International Financial are quoted 24 to II dis. ; London, 23 to 21 dia. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; and Credit Foncier, 5; to 5; dia. The fact demonstrated by recent announcements, that the amount of little over 2,000,0001. of Spanish Internal Passive stock, held in France, has proved an interest sufficiently powerful to keep the Paris Bourse closed against new Spanish government securities is calculated to encourage dissentient holders of Passive stock here, seeing that the interest represented in the London market must amount to some 6,000,0001. It is a great pity that Spanish financiers have been un able to discern the strength they would give to their country by a liberal and satisfactory settle ment of these claims. Spain has had a splendid opportunity of conciliating the good will of the financial world, which has long been wait ing, as it were, to pour out the con tents of its coffers at her feet. Wanting, however, the will to be honest, she has missed her opportunity, and has preferred to keep up a con stant spirit of distrust amongst her creditors. For the safety of our investments—taking a selfish view of the matter—perhaps it is as well that it should be so. According to advices from the United States, that republic has formally recognised the Juarez government of Mexico, and the United States Minister has presented his credentials at the City of Mexico. . . . The Bank of New Zealand invite tenders re ceivable until noon on Tuesday, the Bth Oct ober, for the second instalment of 200,0001. of the half million 6 per cent. loan issued under the authority of the Province of Auckland Government Loan Act of 1863. The first instalment of 100,0001. was disposed of in September, 1863. These deben tures are to be redeemed in 33 years from the Ist of April, 1863, by a sinking fund of 2 per cent. Both principal and interest are payable in London. The satisfactory announcement is at the same time made that the colonial government of New Zea land, with a view to obviate the inconvenience now experienced, has pledged itself to bring for ward a bill during the present seassion of the Gene ral Assembly for consolidating 211 the loans of the several provincial governments into one general New Zealand Government 6 percent. stock. All doubts will then be set at rest as to the responsi bility of the whole revenues of the colonial govern ment in connection with these loans. It seems highly desirable that this example should be fol lowed by the other colonial dependencies of the British crown which appear from time to time as borrowers in the London money market. . _ Brighton Railway scrip, which was issued at a reduction of about 51. from the then price of the old stock, and was quoted at the time at a moderate premium, has now reached to within 14 or 14 of the price of the old stock, and commands about 8 prem. This indicates an absorption on the part of the public.

The feeling here is much quieter, but with an Irish population of 60,000 to 80,000, and with Fenkins in almost every rank of society, there is still a feeling of distrust.

LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION IN BIRMINGHAM• PROPOSED BANQUET TO MR. BRIGHT. We have already stated that it is proposed to recognise the services rendered by Mr. Bright, M.P., to the cause of reform, by inviting the hon. gen tleman to a public banquet in Birmingham, under the joint auspices of the Liberal Association and the Moira League. At a meeting of the sub-committee last evening, it was resolved to hold the banquet in the Town hall, in November next, at the date which may prove most convenient to Mr. Bright, with whom the Secret►ry (Mr. Bateson) was instructed to communicate. Invitations, we understand, will be sent to other prominent members of the House of Commons, and it is hoped that the celebra tion may be made an important event in connexion with the liberal party.—Birmiarritass Post.

Sir Joseph Hawley having started from his cot tage at Laggan, near Inverness, on Saturday forenoon, to catch the mail en route for Ne wmarket, dhloovered shortly after his departure that he had left behind his travelling bag. The distance from Laggan to Inverness being four miles and a half by road, Captain Coventry undertook, in a wager of 500/. to 4001. with Mr. Vansittart, of Coleraine, to ride barebacked on a pony, and deliver the bag to Sir Joseph at the station under 15 minutes. A grey shooting pony about 13 hands 1 inch was brought out, and the gal lant captain started off at full speed along the high road with the bag slung over his back, and accomplished the distance with 45 secs. to spare, thereby winning his wavr. Captain Coventry immediately presented the building fund of the New Cathedral at Inverness with 1001. The pony is a common Highland garrow, bred on the Ness Castle estates by Mr. Dmald Campbell, of Ballyveolan, and only used by Sir Joseph Hawley for shooting purposes, and never taken up. The Dear; of Westminster and Lady Augusts Stanley returned to the Deanery, Westminster, from Scotland, last week, for the purpose of showing hospitality to the bishops--especially to the American bishops—now visiting England.

THE QUEEN OF HOLLAND AT ST. HELENS. The Queen of the Netherlands, who his been sojourning since Saturday last at Knowsley, visited the plate glass manufactory of Messrs. Sullivan, Siveright, and Crossley, at St. Helens, yesterday. The visit was of &purely private character, and public display was eschewed as much as possible. The party left Knowsley about three o'clock, and arrived at the works before four o'clock, where they were received by Sir Edward Sullivan, the principal of the firm. In addition to her Majesty and her suite there were also present the Earl of Derby. Sir It. Gerard, Bart., Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., Lady Skelmersdale, Colonel Wilbraham, the Bishop of Sodor anal Man. As the carriages proceeded through the Alexandra Drive — memorable as the route taken by the Princess of Wales to inspect the same works—the children attached to the establishment lined the way, dressed in holiday costume, and neatly decorated. The party were shown through the works by Sir Edward Sullivan, who explained the various processes through which the glen was put before ready for the market. There were special men in attendance to show how the casting. fashioning, and polishing were ac complished. Her Majesty expressed herself highly pleased with all she had seen, and, after partaking of a d6euner, the select party returned to Knowsley a little after 5 o'clock. THE APPROACHES TO THE NEW PALACE AT WEST- EngsTER. —Rapid progress is daily being made in New Palace-yard towards the completion of therm approaches. Ry the commencement of next Michaelmas term the space of ground fronting Westminster-hall will be nailed in, with the exception of entrances for the free ingress and egress of cabs, &c., and the public generally. The ornamental stone arcade, which is now in course of constructi , m, and which is to form a private entrance for members of the Rouse of Commons, by way of the Speaker's entranoe, is also rapidly progress ing, but, though it will be available for their use by the meeting of parliament, a considerable time must elapse before its architectural beauties can be fully completed and developed. With regard to the extension of the Metropolitan Railway, which is to have a station in close proximity to the Thames Embankment at the end of this arcade, these works are not so forward as had been antici pated they would have been, but thaw entirely owing to unforeseen circumstances. Opposite New Palace-yard, and in the vacant piece of ground where Canning's statue crlgivallY e:ood. great progress has been made in the way of improvement, and by next spring this spot will be taste fully and ornamentally laid out. It was intended origi• nally to have had two fountains placed here, but that idea has been abandoned. THE ATTEMPT TO UPSET THE LIMITED MAIL AT W /GAL —Yeaterdity, at the Town Rail, Wigan, Michael Matey, • young and somewhat intelligent-looking Irish man, recently employed in the neighbourhood as a navvy. was charred with placing four sleepers on the London and North-Weetesn Railway, in the township of Into, near WiSeu, on the night of the 22nd ult., with intent to over throw the limited mail. The offence was proved by a oorn psalm of the prisoner, named Michael Hare, who saw the sleepers placed on the rails and removed them. but the :soner threatened to assault him, and refixed the obstruc tion. Harm gave information by letter to the station master, but the mail passed through the station as the ciorocounicetion was being reed. Fortunately the wheels of the engine broke some of the sleepers, and the lifeguards moved the others out of the way, so that th e train stuck to the rails and a terrible accUent was thus narrowly somped. The charge wee fully substantiated, sal the Owner was oomuotbied fee biol. JOINT nom BA/118. gum.. Irdlao AIM Bank (1.1 m.)/ - bo B. Albion _ ...... _ Anima IJmited Anglo Austrian Ani. ga (.)

FACILITIES TOR CROSSING THE CHANNEL. —Some twenty years ago we had all to make ►n expensive journey to London, and then get over to Calais or Ostend. Now drawers cross from many ports on the east comet, and I think I have seen ad vei card a vessel from Glasgow to France. If you glmce at the map of Europe you will find that this is not so preposterous a voyage as you might suppose it to be. The fares of all these steamers are very moderate, almost nominal. The reason of this is that their fundamental object—that by which they at, sup ported—is the transport of goods. At present they bring over to us the heaps of cheap fruit which they make abundant in our seaports, and return with ireunfactured goods. The pamenger traffic is a mere casual adjunct to this—almost an act of courtesy and henevolenee to the public, as the owners of these mem& would sometimes make out. They are going at any rate, and Ito they do us the favour to take us with them. The affair has its advan tages and its defects. Paying so little as we do, we have no right to be critical ; and if we should complain th►t the cabins are close and evil-Savoured, or should make a re presentation about the transcendent filthiness of the steward who helps us to our victuals, and, as we cannot help knowing, though ignorance would be great bliss, also cooks them, the attempt would be a mere waste of correspondence. There ie no rival who will promise you better treatment for your twenty or thirty shillings, and you must rest thankful that you bave accomplished the transit of the Channel for so small a consideration.— Blaekwootra Mope:int for October.
