Mr. Arnold—l cannot understand why they should send you to me when it is known that that is not the course. In the event of your being destitute, it is the place of the latish to interfere, and the law will compel your son to •upport you. Are you destitute? Applicant—l have 2Uf. per year coming in. Mr. Arnold—Well, certainly, that is not • very large 3mount, bat perhaps a person can hardly be termed desti tute with that amount corn in. Applicant—When my children have my fortune? Mr. Arnold—The law compels a child competent to do so wholly or in partto supportthe parent only where other wise destitute—so destitute that she becomes chargeable to the parish. The course, then, is for the parish to relieve her nectssities, and then take proceedings against the son. Applicant—My non is • solicitor. Mr. Arnold—lf he is • peer the law would be the same. I have no power to assist you. THAMES. EITRAOROINART CHARGE OT ARSON. Eirkord Morrie, a licensed victualler, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with arson. Mr. Charles Young opened the case for Mr. Swanton, of the London Salvage Corps, the prosecutor in the case, and said he should make out by the strongest and clearest circumstantial evidence, a complete case of anon against the prisoner, who set fire to his house and attempted to blow temp, for the purpose of defraudin g th e R o y a l Insurance pany. The prisoner was the landlord of the Turk's Head public-house, in Green Bank, Wapping, near to the parish church of St. John, Wapping. On Sunday, the 13th instant, the prisoner, whose wife had been previously dmatched from home, left his house with three children, and closed all the doors and windows. A few minutes afterwards a loud explosion was heard to proceed from the cellar of the house, and smoke lamed from every hole and crevice of the building in large quantities. It was discovered the house was on lire. It was soon extinguished. A man got in at the window, and he found the flames were raging in the cellar. There was a packet of gunpowder weighing one pound and six ounces in a cask in the cellar. It would be produced. The gunpowder was wetted with the water poured into the cellar by the firemen, and it was fortanae that it was so, for the members of the salvage corps, a useful body of men, went into the cellar to lacer tan the cause of the fire, with a lighted candle. If the powder bad exploded several valuable lives would have 13t,11 sacrificed. On the top of another cask there had hien an explosion of a smaller quantity of gunpowder, a tak of rum was running from the tap, and there vie bung cloths saturated with liquor about tie cellar and on the make. Thera was no doubt all these preparations were made in the expectation fat both packets of powder would be exploded and that be rum would be fired. If that hail happened all trace of tse origin of the fire would have been lost. The cellar door was closed, but some boards were taken out. He had m doubt all these diabolical preparations had been made :A' the purpose of dessroying the house and stock in trade. The prisoner, on his apprehension by Police- , sergeant Gamble. 49 It said he was the last person in the cellar, and that he went down to obtain ionic bitter ale, and then all was safe. The prisoner also said that some enemy had exploded the powder and set the min going out of spite. It would be proved that about a !south since, the prisoner made a purchase of a pound and abalf of powder and a pennyworth of saltpetre at a shop No. 4, Sun Tavern-fields, St. George's-in-the-East. The ehopman observed, " What, are you going to prepare for the sth of November!" The prisoner laughed, and said, " am going t o ma k e crackers for th e sth of Noveinber." The solicitor then mentioned other circumstances of sus picion, and called his witnesses. Mr. Benson—l shall remand the prisoner until Tuesday nest. Mr. fitoddart, solicitor, offered bail for the prisoner to asy reasonable amount. Mr. Charles Youngl oppose the application for bail. I have, air, to call your attention to the fact that the pri soner was seen to leave the house three minutes before the explosion took place, but no one entered afterwards till the cellar wag on fire. I have also to state that he has had Aix tires before on premises occupied by him, and was always insured. I believe Mr. Swanton, of the salvage corr, can prove that the prisoner was interested, but not directly, in three other fires. Mr. Benson—l shall not take bail. A strong prima facie ease has been made out. The prisoner is remanded till Tuesday next, the 29th of October. THE SUPPOSED FENIAN ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO CHE,TER POLICE-sTATION.—At a special meeting of the Chester Town Council yesterday, the proceedings of the watch committee in reference to the supposed Fenian at tempt to set fire to the police-station, came up for con. firmation. The minute stated that an attempt had been made--enpposed by Fenian—to set fire to the police. station by throwing a bottle containing explosive material Upon the roof, and the committee therefore ordered that a reward of 100/. be paid to any person giving information which would lead to the conviction of the offender. The committee also ordered that the Waterworks Company ab , ml.l have a supply of water night and day in the fire mains, that the police should be temporarily increased, azd that at least JO citizens should be requested to act as special constables. The chairman of the committee (Ablerrnsn W. 11. Williams), in moving the confirmation of the minutes, stated that, at the meeting of the watch committee, all the members volunteered as special con st.,hles, and were sworn in for six months, The minutes cf the committee were unanimously confirmed. A letter iron' Whitehall was read, advising the Chester authorities t., take certain precautions in view of a Fenian attack. Mk. MukPHY AT BLACKBURN.—For the last few days the town of Blackburn has been thrown into a state of commotion by the visit of Mr. Murphy, lecturer for the Protestant Electoral Union, the refusal of the magis trates of the borough to grant him the use of the Town Mall for his lectures, and the persistence of Mr. Murphy in holding his meetings in • licensed hall adjoining the town, which had been dosed by order of the magistrates.

This forenoon Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, held an inquiry at the London Hospital touching the death of Jones Curtis, aged three years. The deceased was the son of a tailor, living at 9, Coniston street, Whitechapel. On Sunday week he was playing with a brass chain, and rubbing it over with a lboicl. Michael Curtis, aged 11 years, said that he and his brother went to Petticoat-lane to get a "pennyworth of stuff to turn a brass chain into silver." They bought the liquid in a bottle at a stall in the street. The man did not my that it was poison, and he only sold the "stuff " on Sundays. He used to turn things into silver. He polished the things up with it, and witness thought he could do it as well as the man. The deceased drunk the contents of the bottle while witness's back was turned, it was so strong that he could not say a word after he took it. Witness should know the man again if he saw him. Mr. George M'Kenzie, resident medical of cer at the hospital, said that the deceased had expired on Saturday from the effect, of an irritant acid poison. He had not had an opportunity of ascertaining the exact nature of the poison contained in the bottle. . . . A juror said that he believed that it contained sul phone acid. The Coroner said that he should get an analytical chemist to discover the exact nature of the poison. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was accidentally killed by swallowing a certain poison, and the said jurors further say that the deceased swal lowed the said poison without knowing the effect that the act would cause."

On elhow. Owing to the very satisfactory tenor of the accounts from Italy, the stock markets are decidedly better to-day, and prices have experienced an almost general advance. The rise would probably be still greater but for the announcement of the failure of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, and a consequent fear that many of the public securities upon which it has made advances may soon be sold. Consols are in prominent request, and have risen 1. to per cent. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are 1 higher upon a continuance of purchases on banking an. count. As regards railway stocks, the principal upward movement is in Caledonian. Most of the foreign bond have improved ; the advance in Italian of 1861 amounts to nearly 1 per cent. Some of the financial shares also meet with inquiry. In the disco:int market to-day there is no altera tion, and the rate fur loans in the Stock Exchange is still 1 per cent ComoI; are quoted 94 to for money, and. 94!. to I for the account (Nov. 7). The 'Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cent. are called 92i to ;. . . The railway market is firmer, in sympathy with the other departments of the Stock Exchange. Caledonian stock is in good demand, and has risen 2 per cent., viz., to 91 to 4. Great Northern (original) has improved 4 ; Great Western, 4 ; Great Eastern, London ,Chatham,and Dover,and Brighien, 1; and South Eastern, 4. The present quotations are as follows :—Metropolitan, 122 to 1 ; Great Western, 43' 5 ', to r ; London and North Western, 112 to 1 ; Midland, nisi to 3 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 126 to 1 ; Cale donian, 851 to / ; South Eaatetn, 654 to ; Great Eastern, 314 to 32 ; Great Northern, 109 to 110 ; ditto A, 112 to ; Loudon, Chatham and Dover, 1S to ; North British, 324 to 33 ; and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 524 to 4. Italian Bonds of 1861 are in good demand, at an improvement of r per cent., the present price being 45 to 4. Turkish of 1862 and Chilian scrip are 4 higher, at 62 to 63, and 1 die. to par, respec tively, and other stocks are 4 to 1 better. Turkish of 1565 are at 314 to 3 ; Greek, 124 to 4 ; Spaniels. Passive, 19 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 161 to ; and Mexican, 15 to 1. American securities are firm, at an advance of 4 per cent. The 5-20 Bonds are at 691 to 1. Erie Railway shares, 451 to 461 ; and Illinois Cen tral, 774 to 781. Anglo-Amerman Telegraph shares are steady, at 174 to and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, at 34 to f. Financial shares are rather firmer, and Inter national Financial and Credit Fonder have ad vanced 2s. 61., viz., to 24 to 24 dia. and 61 to 6 dia. respectively. London are quoted 24 to 22 din, and General Credit, 24 to 24 dia. There is a somewhat better demand for bank shares, but prices generally are unaltered. The stoppage of the Royal Bank of Liverpool appears to bans been quite unexpected in the City, and has causel a great deal of discussion in com mercial circles. This bank was originally established in 1836, but failed 20 years ago, viz., i 01847. It is as unlimited undertaking, so that the shareholdem are liable for the whole of the debts. The reserve fund was recently stated at 106,933/. The chair man is Mr. Francis Shand ; and Messrs. Samuel Rohne, John Bibby, and Robert Hutchinson are directors. It is notified that the interest of 10s. per share, or 2 per cent. for the past six months, will be payable on the shares of the Lemberg-Czernowit: Rsilway Company on the Ist of November. . _ _ - . There were no further withdrawals of bullion from the Bank ye.terclay, the recent large arrivals, chiefly from Australia, having satisfied for the moment the requirements of exporters to the am tinent. _ . The America, from New York, has brought 41,0001. in spcie for London ; and the Pers, from Alexandria, 13.400/. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,4661. over last year ; and the London, Brighton, and South Coast au increase of 2,4161. A correspondent well versed in the affairs of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company has printed, in tabular form, and " for private circulation only," an abstract from the reports and accounts to the 31st December, 1866, and 30th June, 1867, showing the profit and loss for the year 18661867. The results at which he arrives are that the net revenue for the year (of course after deducting working expenses) was only 185,8791., and that, as the " charges not working expenses" were 415,9251., the loss on the year was as much as 230,046/. An illustration of the way in which two steam companies may by co-operation mutually benefit each other is afforded in the report just issued by the directors of the Royal Mail Steam Company, which states that " the line of steam communication established by the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, forming, in connection with this company's lino, the Panama route to New Zealand and Austra lia, having now been in operation over twelve months, it affords tho directors of this company much satisfaction to draw attention to the highly successful manner in which the ser vice, embracing the long oceanvoyage from Panama to New Zealand, and rice trrsa, has been, from the commencement, performed by the vessels of that company." This tribute totheethciencyof the young Australian company is well deserved, and it is satis factory to believe that the friendly co-operation of the two companies will continue to redound to the advantage of both. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have announced the dividends due the Ist November on Quebec City Sterling Six per Cent. Bonds and Massachu setts State Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds. MONDAY Eviimes...

A meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, this day ; Sir W. RUSSELL, Bart., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said when they last met he expressed a hope that the payment of the interest on the divisional bonds would nolonger be deferred, and that that on the consoli dated bonds would also be paid, but that hope had been disappointed. After the appointment of the committee of investigation Mr. Oewell came to them from Amster. dam to represent the interests of the Dutch bondholders. They gave him, a seat among them, and they had received great assistance from him. They bad had sent to them • power of attorney from divisional bondholders in Holland holding bonds to the amount of 430,000 dollars, and of consolidated bonds to the amount of 703,000 dollars, approving of the proceedings of the committee of investigation. And thinking it desirable to ascertain the exact state of the line, they had appointed Mr. Trevithick, who had presented a most able and exhaustive report. He then read extracts from Mr. Trevithiok's re port, showing that very little had been done to repair the permanent way. The first, second, and third divi sions he described as being in a very bad condition ; but the fourth division, which was the longest section, was in good condition. With regard to the ap pointment of receiver, the committee, when they were appointed, found there were several persons about to take action. They put themselves in communication with the divisional bondholders, and the result had been that a receiver had been appointed who represented the interests of the first and second divisional bonds, and also those of the consolidated mortgagees. The terms on which the receiver was appointed by the court in America were in exact accord an ce with the provisions in the mortgage deeds. Since the line had been in the Lands of the receiver, the earnings of the line and the proportion of earnings to expenses had considerably in creased. The expenses, including rates and taxes, which formed • heavy item in America, had been reduced to 651 per cent., though it hadbeenthouglitthat they couldnot be reducedbelow 70percent. On renewals they had expended 477,373 dollars, and on construction 395,539 dollars. The Mahoning branch had been very successful, and had yielded • clear profit of 403,795 dollars. The Buffalo extension was a very unfortunate business. The money intended for that line was expended in another portion of the line, which it was thought would be more remunerative, and funds were sent over to Mr. M'Henry, the contractor, to finance and get the line completed somehow. There were shares to the amount of 3,084.000 dols., and bonds to the amount of 1,38'2,000 dols. There was an agreement that those bonds should be exchanged for consolidated bonds on certain terns, and the committee recommended that that should be done. The traffic for the year 1865 yielded 896,205/., and the ex penses were 567,6822. In 1866 the earnings were 877,3262., and the expenses 647,828/. Up to May, 1867, the earn ings were 326,110/., and the expenses to 246,3962. In 184;5 the expenses were 63 per cent ; in 1866, 73 ; in 1867 up to May, 75 per cent., and since May they had been reduced to 67 per cent. In August and September there had been some decrease in the receipts, hut the last accounts, which were up to the 7th of October, stated that they were in. creasing again, and that for the preceding week there was an increase of more than 4,000 dols. over the correspond ing week of last year; and as the harvest had been a very good one, the traffic must increase. There had been some slight doubt attempted to be thrown on the legality of the consolidated bonds, but they had taken legal opinion, and were satisfied that they were per fectly legal. With regard to the alleged over issue of bonds the committee were not certain that there had been an overissue, but in anyease it did not exceed 878,000 dole., and the committee proposed that they should be recognised. There was a question with regard to some of the divisional bonds as to whether they should be paid in currency or in sterling. There was no doubt that as regarded some of them them was a stipulation that they should be paid in sterling. It was an intricate question which he hoped would not be litigated. The committee proposed to acknowledge these sterling obligations, but in return for this they expected the bondholders to I surrender a certain amount of coupons. With regard to the debenture holders, who ranked fourth, a compromise was proposed by which as to a portion of their security they would rank as first and second mortgagees, and with regard to the other they would rank with the consolidated bondholders. The proposed scheme was that the first mortgagees were asked to defer their interest for two years from the 31st March last, and as a conside ration they proposed that they should be paid , pramipal and Interest in sterling. The se cond mortgagees they proposed to pay at the end of three years. Then with regard to consolidated bonds, it was proposed, to the extent of seven millions, to allow the debenture holders to come in Pori passer with them instead of directly behind them. This was the basis of the scheme, and the committee trusted that the shareholders would go cordially with them in order to enable them to go to the American courts for authority to carry out the scheme. In conclusion, be moved a resolution that the report of the committee of investigation be adopted, that the committee be authorised to carry out the plan therein proposed, that the committee be continued as • committee of administration that they be empowered to apply to the American courts for authority to the receiver to pay the expense of the investigation, and that an office be main. tained in London at the expense of the undertaking. Mr. T. C.tre, M.P., wounded. Mr. limonite handed in a protest from divisional bond holders to the amount of :sno,noo dollars. [The discussion was proceeding when our report left.] The Post concludes an analysis of the Traffic Regulation Act Bill with saying :—" A more slovenly drawn piece of legislation has seldom, perhaps, been pe rused. The two features which ,trite one as the most extraordinary, however, are not so much the enormous jurisdiction given t, the Police Commissioners, but the enormous discretion which it gives to everybody concerned —even the common constables—not to do the things which the intention of the legislature evidently meant, or ought to have said, should be imperative and not optional."

THE VACANT BISHOPRTC.—It is believed among the clergy of the diocese of Lichfield that the new bishop will be either Doan Goulburn, Dr. Bickersteth, or the Dean of Ely—opinion inclining rather to the Dean of Ely. A memorial to the Home Secretary, in favour of the removal of all restrictions on the internal circulation of cattle, was, on the motion of the Rev. J. Goring, se conded by Colonel Barttelot, carried unanimously at the West Sussex session on Friday, and was immediately sect off by the chairman of the session to the Home-office. An enthusiastic reception was given last night, in the Victoria Hill, Leeds, to Mr. W. Lloyd Garrison, the veteran antislavery leader. The meeting, which was a large and influential one, was presided over by Mr. Baines, M.P., and an address expressive of the high esti mation in which Mr. Garrison was held, and congratulat ing him on the triumph of the cause he had so long advocated, was presented. The Minister of Marine at Berlin has decided that the German Federal fleet shall consist of 10 iron-clad frigates ; 10 ironclada, for the defence of the coasts and harbours ; 8 screw corvettes, of `2B guns each ; 6, of 16 ; 4 steam despatch boats, 4 transports, 1 frigate, 2 brigs, 2 training ships. There aro 65 newspapers published in Mexico, viz., 62 in the Spanish language, 2 in the English language, and 1 in the French language. Sixty Federal soldiers of the Jewish religion, now buried in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, and who fell in the battles about that place, are to be re-in terred, according to the rite and ceremonies of their faith, in the cemetery of the Israelities, near that city. A imitable monument is also to be erected to their memory by the Hebrew societies of the west. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.—PATMEN'T OF RATES. —We mentioned last week that some landlords of small homes intended to allow their tenants en amount equiva lent to that hitherto paid by the landlord sa compound rate, thus dividing the burden cast upon the tenant by the Reform Act. We are now in a position to state that • copy of the following circular has been tuned to each tenant under their charge by Meseta. Birch and Rawlings, Mews. Orimley end Son, and Messrs. Potter and Sons, who collectively are agents for the owners of several thousands of small houses in the borough : "Notice to Tenants.—ln consequence of the new Reform Act having abolished compounding for poor rates, the overseers are now compelled to charge the full rate to each tenant. We therefore beg to inform you that in future you will be required to pay the poor rate, but we are willing to allow you the amount we hare hitherto paid, on production of the collector's receipt. It must be dis tinctly understood, that you will not be entitled to receive the proportion of the rate if any arrears are owing, but the amount agree d upon will be applied towards the reduc tion of arrears.' It may be assumed that this prompt and liberal action on the part of the landlords represented by the above-mentioned firms, will virtually decide the prac. tics in Birmingham.—Birmingham Past. EARL STANHOPE'S FIRST WORK.—Two curious traits of children, who have since fully justified the expec tations formed of them, were set down by Miss Edgeworth in 1813 :—" April 25, 1813.—1 enclose the Butterfly's Ball for Sophy, and a letter to the King written by Dr. Holland when six years old; his father found him going with it to the post. (This letter was an offer from Master Holland to raise a regiment. He and some of his little comrades bad got a drum and • flag, and used to go through the manual exercise. It was a pity the letter did not reach the King; he would have been delighted with it.)" " August, 1813.—We have just seen a journal by a little boy of eight years old, of a voyage from England to Sicily ; the boy is Lord Mahon's son, Lord Carrington's grandson. It is one of the hest journals I ever rend, full of facts: exactly the writing of a child, but a very clever child." , This very clever child is the present Earl Stanhope.— ' Edinburgh Reticle., new number. 01111DINARY SHAMS AND STOCKS. 80.
