He Lords, I.a.iies, and Gentlemen, —I sincerely join in the ri gret expresie a by the Lord Mayor that the prime minister is prevented from responding to the toast just given from the chair. I know that it would hat r given hint great pleasure to have eel. charged that duty. Under any circumstances such an ex. premien of opinion from any body of Lis fellow.subjects must Le gratifying to one who occupies the position of my noble frieed. But I know it, and from himself, that he would have doubly felt the compliment, offered as it was in tide veuerabie hall, so emaciated with the history of the country in which his ancestors have been so 'linen vistaed. and so intheately for generations with the fee:el:so tions of English statesmen. (Cheers.) If my noble friend bad had the opportunity which unexpectedly has fallen to me, he would probably have done what he hes done upon ether occeeions, and which prime ministers have wisely dope at tindlar weenddies, in =ewer to your wishes of samosa and health to his administration—that is, have taken "stock." if I may use an expression not unknown to the present company. (A laugh.) But I cannot pre-' some to fullil such an office. If I make imy observations upon our present ',coition they would rather refer to the one topic with which, emaciated as it is with my own office, I am not altogether unacetainted. I re member that when we met last year up n an occasitn similar to that which assembles us at present, there was a collapse of credit which affected the City of London and these connected with it probably more teem say seedier disaster which ever yet produced an effect in Cis City. In its extent awl in its severity that collapse we, probably un. precedented. I cannot presume on this occasion to COWS tulate you on having entirely recovered from the effect of disruption of mutual confidence which then took place. I see before um the statue of a celebrate.) minister whosaid that confidence was a plant of slow growth. But I believe however Mow, however gradual may be the growth of con fidence, that of credit requires still utore time to arrive M inatin lie'. Credit Is one of the moot powerful, but at the *wee time one of the most delicate of influences, and those who have studied its am meter can hardly be surprised that teough a year has revolved, we are not—so far as the force of English coedit is concerned—in the Bann position as we were some two years ago. But I think that we have seeds consolation even under the present circumstances. Although specula tion may be dead, although the legitimate spirit and enter prise may not at this moment be as much eucoursged as would probably be advantageous to this city, it is some consolation torus to recollect that so far as she condition of our co *amerce aed the state of our revenues are cos eernerl, England has no reason to be ashamed or abashed. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding all that has (everted with re. geed to that disruption of credit which we deplored last year, the course of our commerce has been steady and uniform, rich and regular, like one of those trade winds with which it is connected. (Cheers.) leo far as our re venue te concerned I may my, without violating any con fidence of the position which I occupy. that it maintains itself hi the position In which we have been accustomed to see it, and I lira glad to say the exchequer is " without oadowlng—full.' Cutler these circumsterme, consider ing the severe trhel to which the enterpries of a country like England has been subjected, we have a right to hope that while our cemmerte ham not been sensibly dis turbed, while our revenue has been absolutely main tained, as time advances we may count on very great im provement. (Hear.) do far as I can presume to form en opinion. the atmosphere of the world is nut clouded in any mannee which should give us canoe of anxiety. The sky is grey, and it wants sunshine. but there are no clouds of a menaeing character. (Cheers.) lest year when we met and conversed together, as is the custom of tee govern ment of her Majesty's ministers and the citizens of Lon don, lei thee) matter.—and I hope that whatever may be the changes which may occur in the constitution of this (met city there will never he any elionees in this respect (cheerst--Eeeland was in this remarkable position. that a great star, ceded on upon a very exteusivo scale, and which lamed only a remarkably short time, had ceased, end the world, although ',cies was proclaimed, was full of rumours of war. Then we were told that great dangers were impending, that in every country armaments were commenced and were progressing en a great scale, and that the groat lowers of Europe mewed to be preparing for some undefined but menacing conjuncture. A year has elapsed and these anticipations have not been realised. On the contrary, I think I may say the year which hots elapsed has given opportunity to the great power of Europe to consider their position, to study, to obierve,te inquire, and mutually to eausettuuicate with each other, and I believe the result has been that the great annements which have taken place have been occasioned rather by mutual end general fear than by any aggressive spirit, and that the con. elusion to which the different governments have arrived is that peace is the interest of Europe, not only for the moment, but that it is to the interest of Europe perma nently to cherish peace. (Cheers.) I believe the great powers do not indulge any romantic dream of supposing that changes may not necessarily occur in human affairs, but they have resolved to leave them to time and to air eurustauces to settle, and they have no anxiety or listen. ton to contemplate, by what is called a great system of policy, the settlement of affairs which, when they are so arrenged, very often result in consequences very different from and contrary to those which were anticipated by those who projected their settlement. (Cheers.) I may truly say that the priced feeling in Europe is ono not unfe vour . able to kin.lly feeling and sentiment to this country. (Cheers.) On the contrary, I venture to assert that there have been few occasions in the history of this country in which the relations between England and the great powers of the European sontinent have been cheracteriewl by sentiments of more kindly and complete confidence than prevail at the present moment. (Cheers.) There have been few periods in which applications for kindly offices and for friendly sug gestions have been more frequently made to the English goeerement, and I need not immure you that they have been received in a spirit which has completely responded to that in which the applications have been made. (Cheers.) If we Sure to America we certainly bars a right to assume that tee some healthy spirit exists. When we met last year there was a great similarity between the position of affairs there and in Europe, became in both parts of the world a great war, cautied on with great skill and assiduity, lad left something of a feeling of sperthemien for the fu ture. Impendleg deugers were rife. and we were informed that we must be mitered to meet a time of greet difficulty. • year has elapsed us Amer.ce as sell as in Europe, and that year which has elapsed his brought calmer and clearer feelings to the people of America as well am of Europe. In America I believe that justice is now dune to the tempe rate mil friendly spirit in which Et' lighted has examined , and coueidered those question. which were once supposed to be sources of difficulty and of danger. (Cheers.) I be- Bove that not only the government but the people of America generally have taken much calmer views of those questions now than they did a year ego, hilluenceil I am sure in some degree in this matter by the amide representa tions toed.'.c my noble friend Lord titailley, the Foreign mi n i s ter. (cheers.) I think there his truss—and no one indeed can doubt it—a tone of feeling with respect to those questions which might have led to great diaiulty, mote salutary than existed a year ego, and I have every meson to believe, speaking on the part of her Majesty's government, that we shall melanin between England and America those feelings of thorough friendship which !trust will ever subsist between two countries meneeted by ewe .N/M.RESS.-- MONDAY material interests. and by every moral feeling which can unite nations. (Chews.) I think, therefore, that if toy noble friend Lord Derby bail been present, though lie toialtt expressed in cruder and happier terms the situation •st the country whose destinies, with the stusetiou of het Majesty, be is called upon to regulate, he would have offered to your consideration views with respect to our relatious with regard both to Elmo* and to America which, upon. the whole, might ho considered as musk, ! tot). Ido not think issyselt that our domestic position is sat'sfactory. Her Majesty's ministers, with the eobl. ~ett..rous aid of a patriotic parliament, Lave i Len since we met last session in this hall, to settle a ,lueFtoa which it was of the greatest importance to the state should be brought to a settlement. (Cheers.) If asete.al this question would have been a source of earedc of feebleness to the countri, of emba•t.oisment to the crown, making parliament ridi lous aud contemptible in the eyes of Europe, it for fifteen year.. we should have gone on insisting that the leerier of the redistribution of power in the state was tectiutty to be settled, and that England was incompetent to irr:n; shout that settlement. Her Jlajestya govern :rent. ailed and assisted by a patriotic parliament, have introduced and carried a measure with thatobject. (Cheers.) I belief myself that it is one which will establish concord cia-sea, that the nation accepts it as afavourable result. and that history win consecrate its consequences. (Cheers.) I have ventured to touch upon these points of interest with respect to the position of the government, thoech I wished much that they hod been placed before yes: .ee :tidy by the prime minister. It was my duty, huwever. to aNatire you when we met upon this ciocasion tl.at our relations with foreign powers were of • satisfac• tory kind. and that we feel complete confidence in the alien end condition of the country. (Cheers.) The right hen. gentleman concluded by proposing " The Health of the Lord Mayor." The Low , MATOII briefly acknowledged the compliment, and proposes the " Health of the late Lord Mayor." Alderman Sir THOMAM GABRIEL, Bart., who was heartily cheered, returned thanks, and acknowledged on the part of the corporation of the City of London the ready recog- Lition of the services rendered by the City of London daring his year of office, which had putt expired. The hint. MAIOE next proposed " The House of Lords," which responded to by Tire Earl of - MA tateaseite, who referred to the venerable character o' the House of Peers, and stated that it was almost coeval with the corporation of the City of London. The House of Peers bad seen dynasties pass away and many ref ointions ; but now, in the year 1867, its repre sentatives were met at that hospitable table to reciprocate comp:M.enta with the representatives of the greatest city in the world. (Cheers.) 'Without any desire to exaggerate the merits of the body to which be belonged, he claimed that thrill; a long course of historical renown they bad always performed their duty, and had known how to ae uoarmoate themselves to the times. They bad always per forated their functions as a check on the other estates of the realm,but at the same time always knew how to identify themselves with the wishes of the people when those wishes were right, and should with wisdom and prudence as.. can heti into effect. During the last cession, after watch iirg, the current a public opinion, they had become con- winced of the necessity of settling the question of retorts, and had ther,fore confirmed by their legislative sanction :he wishes of the nation. Such he hoped would ever be the conduct and policy of that great branch of the legisla ture. (rheera. _ _ The 'Lo:ro bLxlcot next proposed "The Judges,' for U'tich Lord Chief Justice BovILL briefly replied. The next tacit was " The House of COMMOaI." The toast was responded to by Lord Firms - Lev, who was much cheered. He said—l have :teat pleasure iu returning thanks on behalf of the Howse of Commons. It is a duty.,which has often devolved upon me before, and not unfrequently in this very hall. There is no place where that toast could be more appropriately given than here, for the connexion between the City of Loudon and the House of Commons is full of histo rical remini.cences, and there are no members who speak with more weight and authority in the house than those who are sent there by the City of London, since, whatever their politics, they are the representatives of the greatest commercial community that has ever existed since the world began. (Cheers.) Upon a subject so familiar as the House of Commons, it is hardly passible to speak without saying either something which may he regarded as a paradox. or something in the shape of a mere commonplace. But as the tendency of the present time is rather to depre ciate than unduly to exalt anything which is familiar to this country, I may adl attention to one or two points in which it seems to use that the English parliament differs, as I believe, from every other legislative assembly of a similar diameter in the world. In the first place, we are the only unpaid legislative body in the world ; there is no country in the world except England in which you will find many hundreds of wealthy men who will submit to the annoyance of a popular contest with no other hope than that of being able to give to the public a certain amount of gratuitous labour. You may say they give themselves this trouble from personal vanity or ambition, and that may be, hut I am of opinion that even such a motive, since it prompts men to serve in the parliament of a free country, is • virtue rather than • failing. (Hear, heir.) Then, again, I do not believe there is another legislative ody in the world, not even the American or a colonial congress, which gets through a hfth part of the business trausacwil by the British House of Commons. We may he etarge.l with attempting too much, and I have sometimes thought this myself, hut with whatever faults we may be fairly charged, ft cannot be asserted that we are wanting iu industry and good will. (Hear, hear.) There is one thing more that I must say for the House of Commons. I do not believe that any similar body shows the same amount of justice and fair play to those who address it. No doubt party proceedings exist, and sometimes party feeling runs high, but there is one thing which invariably overrides party feeling, and that is the existence of an honest confidence in the good intentions of the indivi• duals of the assembly. (Ches:rs.) - . Tao remaining toasts were The Aldermen of London," respondod to by the senior alderman ; " The liar of KrwLuill," responded to by the Attorney.fleneral ; and "The La,:y Mayoress," proposed by the Lord Chancellor. The company then retired to the reception room, where coffee was served, and shortly afterward, separated. THE BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.— On Saturday evening the Association of Tradesmen held their ninth anniversary dinner at Willie's Booms in cele bration of the birthday of his raps' highness the Prince of Wales. Mr. J. W. 'lemon, of Old Bond-street, was in the chair, and among the gentlemen present, about 120 in ntimeer, were Messrs. H. Melton (hon. secretary), Jay, Nichelay, Aylen, H. Holmes(of Derby ),and J. Hooper. The toasts of the evening were of course the healths of the Prime and Princess of Wales, which were proposed by the chairman in brief but appropriate terms, and conlially ' responded to by the company. In proposing the health of the Prince Mr. Benson referred especially to the interest which Lis royal highness exhibit, in the national "ports and pastinearan allusion which called forth loud and genera! applause ; and in recommending the toast of " The Princess of Wales." he did not omit to notice the womanly fortitude with which that illustrious lady has borne the sufferings occasioned by her severe and protracted illness, or forget to express on the part of those whom he repre sented their warn, participation in the general satiefaction which has been occasioned by her royal highness's restora tion to health. Another toast, and one special to the oc casion, was" Lieutenant-General Sir W. Knotty', K.C.8., and the gentlemen of H.R.H.'s Household," and in pro , posing it, the chairman hors testimony to the courtesy and attentir a with which the gallant general and his saber ; dinates treated all those who hail occasion to do business with them. The applause with which the remark was re ceived and the cordiality with which the toast was dr un k proved the concurrence of all present in this acknowleitg meat. The other toast* were " The Queen," " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" (responded to by Captain Jay, of the Hon. Artillery Company); "The Chairman," "The Honorary Secretary," "The Press," " The Drama," "The Visitors," " The Ladies," and " The Stewards." The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Theodore Dinh:, who was assisted by Madame Talbot Cherer, Miss Julia Derby and Dir. G. T. Carter. Among the delicacies which had been provided for the occasion were saute haunches of venison which had been presented by the Prince of Wales. From an early hour the bells of the church of the royal pariah of St. Martin"-in-the-fields, and other London parishes, rang out merry reale. and the royal standard was hoisted at the Tower, the government of fi ces, and other public places. The illuminations in honour of the event were on a more extensive scale than usual, and some Mt those at the clubs in Pall-mall and its neighbourhood, and in St. James's street, Bond-street, and Waterloo-place, were very bril liant. At Windsor the bells were rung id salutes fired es usual. The royal purveyors and tradesmen of the town decked the fronts of their shops, places of business, nail houses with trophies of deg', among which the Prince of Wales's feathers and the Danish colours appeared con spienomi. DEPARTURE OF MIL DICKENS FOR AHEItICA.— On Saturday last Sir. Charles Dickens sailed from Liver , pool for the United States. Mr. Dickens left London on Friday by the ten o'clock express train for Liverpool, being a4.Anupanied to Easton station by a host of friends desirous of bidding him " God speed " and as reroir. The directors of the London and North Western Company paid Mr. Dickens and party the compliment of placing at their disposal one of the royal saloon carriages. Mr. Dickens was accompanied to Liverpool by two of his daughters Miss hlotarth, Mr. Wilkie Collins, Mr. Charles Collin; this sou-in-lan Mr. Wills, Mr. Edmund Yates, Mr. Arthur Chopp and Mr. Charles Kent. The party arrived at Liverpool about three p.m., and drove at once to the Adelpid Hotel, where apartments had been engaged for them. On Saturday morning tho whole party left the George's lending...tage at eight o'clock, in the steam. tender, and shortly afterwards Mr. Dickens was on board the Cunard mail steamer Cuba, commanded by Captain Stone. Owing to the early hour at which the Cuba started, and the fact that her departure bad been an noun.ed ha newspaper paragraphs to take place at noon, there was tai crowd beyond such ss is pthered on the landing-stage on similar occasions. The mails were put on board the Cuba at 8.30 a.m., and at nine o'clock the noble steamer Nailed gently down the river en route for Boston, amidst hearty cheers and affectionate farewell demon strut. 'lli. The Cuba is expected to arrive at Boston in about ten days, and, so far as at present arranged, Mr. Dickens will remain on the other aide of the Atlantic until May next. *parting inttlitgratt. THE SHREwsBURY AUTUMN MEETING. TO THi mmoa OW THE TIPREML SSlit,—Closing as it began, the season 1867 has ' afforded another surprise, or mistake, or whatever people , may like to call the result of the Liverpool Autumn Cup. A more bitter lesson was never rend turtites than the doings on this event have taught them from the time the weights came out with Regalia, Beeswiog, Ackworth, and Caith ness thrown in (so said the critics), and one of them " sure to win, if wanted." There can be no doubt that, theore- i tiadly, this view was pretty correct ; but the Epsom pair were not to be let loose this autumn, and the Lincoln Handicap being a more tempting Gait for the clever I Caithness party, his advantage in the weights was lost, when there was only Regalia left to " spoil the handicap." I How she did this has been fully discussed since Friday last by her disappointed adherents, and they had the chagrin to see or read of her cuttitg up a ranker jade than ever, and beaten away from Caithness, who, I according to those who should have known beet, had no earthly chance with her. Besides, Regalia did touch to prevent Caithness actually win the race, penalty and all. as when beginning to "cut it" she hung so much as to shot the gelding out from a good place he was about to take, and after being thus stopped he was only beaten a length and a half. The race, however, afforded quite a series of mishaps; and were it to be run over again , the result would probably be very different, Day, Moulsey, Corporal, Honesty, New Guinea, and Tribune being all "disappointed," one way or another, in addition to Caith ness. So were the food backers of Knight of the Garter when they saw his owner deliberately stop him by putting up 41b. extra weight, just as though 7st. filb. was not " smasher" enough for a three year old in such a handicap. But it is only adding bitterness to gall to dwell on such an unfortunate error, which was in some degree excusable —far more so than were the headstrong tactics pursued with Caithness, who wasverynesrlylosing his own 1 ' party" a fortune. It seems singular they did not know what a good horse they had got, especially as they have I had the gelding from the time he was a yearling, and his publit performances have been so good. Regalia may, it , is true, give him lumps of weight at home ; but latterly the has cut up a rank jade in public, and I am afraid this grand mare is at last spoiled, by having been in too many hands to train and do for. The Dawson party must be acquitted of having made a "mistake" when transferring their affections from The Corporal to Mandrake, consider ing the former was deprived by • serious accident of the opportunity of showing whether their trial was correct ; and they must rest satisfied to have a very lucky horse in Mandrake, who only landed them their cup at York by a " fluke," end cannot be set down a very good horse when Knight of the Garter, improved horse as he is, could concede • stone and run him to a neck. The other events of the Liverpool Autumn Meet ing only possessed a passing interest ; and I am not re quired to dwell upon them, nor any other matter beyond the Shrewsbury Meeting, which commences this day (Mon day) and extends over Friday. It is hard to say whether the many dishes in Mr. Frail's bill of fare will be enjoy able, the elements having so much to do with such a point in fogu November ; yet it can safely be asserted that many of them will be exciting, only half the celebrated horses entered already—there are nineteen completed events—having to show to invest the sports with an im portance quite unusual at what would once be styled an illegitimate gathering. It is difficult to handle the principal items in the Shrewsbury broad-sheet, on account of such • host of good animals being thrown up until next spring, and even in the inferior races the task of "selecting" becomes • tire some one, because certain stables have three or four re presentatives in each. In Monday's Nursery, the Car nival, Mr. Chaplin and his confederate have Inspiration, Lord Palmerston, and Splendour, and when the best of the three is disovered there is something more to do to find the pea, Alex. Taylor's trio—Picnic, the Frailty colt, and Citron—being another puzzler. Splendour and Citron may have to do battle, and my respect for the latter will be great if he is cked, as Janet Raweliffe may stay the mile ever so well and only corms off second best. Failing the latter's getting the course, Lictor would be about the best antagonist to pit against the champion of the light weights. Elegance will trouble the best of the strong Newmarket division—even Confederate—in the Wynnatay Welter, wherein all must beware of Ambi tion ; and there is Captain Kidd to swamp the two Liverpool Cup performers that look so well in the Stewards' Cup, Caithness and Scipio. The Cleveland Plate is a mere scramble, wherein Liddington, Huntsman, and Sir Oliver ought to shine ; nor is there much to choose between the matched pair, Moose and Ainsley, unless the lad that is on the latter can "get her out," when she will win cleverly enough. On Tuesday, we have the half-mile Wrekin Stakes, for which Liddington would probably beat even Cecrops, if he cut in ; and after the Battl e fi e ld, I wherein Indigestion may put a stopper on Ambition, them is the great Shrewsbury Cup. The interest of this is added to by the scrimmaging contest at Liverpool, for their owners can now see, if they like, whether the mishaps that betel New Guinea and Honesty had much to do with their defeat, though Mandrake, with Dabs. additional on his back to their one or two pounds, should decline to meet them again, Tynedale or King of the Fairies being better representatives of his stable. I like Tynedsle, but have also plenty of respect for poor old Moulsey, with Rama, War, Scipio, and Seville ; and with the money on the latter should look no further for the winner. The Cup result must influence the pre tensions of Aetna, Honesty, Scipio, and others for the Column ; still, my ideas in favour of Corporal and Skir mish are very strong just now, and only Captain Kidd may I prove capable of beating the pair. Thermometer for the hlonkmoor, and Janet RawclifTe and Chivalry for the I Copeland Nursery, are all " selections" that may be in fluenced by previous running ; and it will be much better to discuss the Shobdon Cup when the @tarters are an nounced, as it is a question how many will dare to face Bounceaway—perhaps neither Hermit nor Knight of the carter, as only the latter of the twain could trouble her. Liddington is only giving 61b. for the two years, but may not like the five furlongs so well as Bonneeaway, whose exact distance it is. Knight of the Garter will be better served in the Newport Gold Cup, nine furlongs, on Thurs day, as he is in receipt of Bilb. for the year from lAneret, and may frighten him from the poet, the greatest diner being then in Viridts. The Caldecot Nursery, about half • mile, Lemnos could not well be handicapped out of, and it is doubtful if 8.0. 121 b. will prove an effectual stopper, though there is Coup d'Eclat— and Janet Rawcliffe again, with others that have prior engagements—to gallop very hut, anal if I made any choice just now it should be the turned-loose Patrician. Skir mish and Indigestion are both well in the Hawkstons Welter Cup ; but there is the running of the three preced ing days to prophesy for this, and the fates must dispose of the four jumping races, fancy as one may Marie Louise in her two engagements over hurdles, and Meanwood and Benaret for whichever cross-country contest they may par ticipate in.—l am, A.c., METEOR. flabal anti ilitittarp.

A CORPORATION MACE AT A DIESENTING CHAPEL —Considerable stir was armed last week in Stafford on its getting abroad that Mr. Silvester, the gentleman who had been unanimously elected at a private meeting of the town council as mayor for the ensuing year, and who attends the independent chapels, purpieied departing from immemorial usage, and instead of inviting the corporation, borough magistrates, &c., to accompany him to the tine old church of St. Mazy, where there are corporation stalls with the borough arms carved upon them, intended to ask them to go with him to Zion Chapel, where be has all his life been a regular worshipper, for many years a leading office-bearer and the superintendent of the Sunday schools. In vain one and another urged Mr. Silvester to yield the point, offering to go with him to chapel on the following Sunday, and the council, by a resolution carried by • large majority, pressed the same view upon the mayor-designate, who, however, meet courteously but firmly persisted. An effort was made to mecum the election of another candi date, and it timid that by a majority of only one was this proved to be hopeless, and at last the gentleman who pro posed Mr. Silvester at the private meeting declined to nominate him on Saturday, but he was proposed by a Roman catholic, and unanimously elected ; and though many felt strongly on the point, Mr. Silvester, who is uni venallyesteemed, anti is in the commission of the peace for the borough,was very cordially greeted on taking the chair. Yesterday • goodly company assembled at his residence, the bells of St. Mary'sChurch,which rang after his election on Saturday, pealed forth the usual notes of rejoicing, and the rector and the independent minister walked on either side the mayor to the chapel, the former of course going thence to his own church. The independent chapel, with the niece and other insignia, and many unwonted faces, spawned quite a novel aspect. A selection from the church prayers was read. GREAT STORM IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. —By the arrival at Liverpool on Saturday of the steamer Pennsylvania, intelligence wu received from New Orleans to the effect that the towns of Brum, Santiago, and Brownsville, Teams and the city of Mate. moms, and the village of Bagdad, Mexico, had hem eaten. sleety damaged by the same storm which recently devas tated Galveston. The steamer Pizarro, which left Brews for New Orleans on the 2nd October, had not been beard of up to the 2ith ult.

The owner of 37, Little Clsrendon-street, Somers-town, was summoned by Mr. Thomas Carter, one of the sanitary inspectors for the parish of St. Pancras, for penalties for disobeying an order made by Mr. Barker, one of the magis trates sitting at the Clerkenwell Pohowcourt on the 21st of June last. Mr. Carter deposed that he visited the house, and found that the work had not been performed according to the order. The house was in a very bad state. Mr. Barker inflicted a penalty of 14/. and 11. tn. costs. The owner of 38, Little Clarendomstreet, was summoned by Mr. John Hartley, one of the sanitary inspectors of St. Pancras, for allowing on the premises an offensive closet without water supply, untrapped drains, and the house and premises in such a state as to be a nuisance and injurious to health. _ _ Mr. Barker made an order for the necomat7 works to be done in 14 da', with V. la. costs. Sarah Charnt'rs, of 1, Albion•cottages, Albion-road. Stoke Newington. applied to Mr. Barker for an order under the Divoroe and Matrimonial Causes Act to protect her property and her earnings from her husband and his cre ditors. The applicant stated that she was married to her husband, George Chambers. in July, 1863, and had only been married to him three days when he assaulted her. He was brought to this court on that occasion, and was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment. When he came out she was determined to give him another trial, and she took him home again, but before a week was over he again assaulted her. After that be called in a broker, sold the goods, and said that he was going to America, and that she could keep herself. Mr. Barker—Did he go away from you with your con sent? The applicant said that he did not. He had deserted her. She had had a situation as a housekeeper, had got some furniture, about IW. in money, and some plate. That was why she wanted to have protection, as she was afraid that if he was to find out that she had property be would return and take it from her. She had not seen or heard of him sines he had deserted her. _ _ Mr. Barker said that the marriage did not appear to have been a very happy one. He would grant the applicant her request, and told her that she must take the order to the county court of the district in which she resided and get it registered. Joseph Willis, aged 2, a labourer, and Charles Jones, 29, were charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. Leopold Muller, of 34, Helliford-street, Essex-road, and stealing therein various articles of dream. The pri soners, with two other men not in custody, were watched by a constable, and seen to enter the g►rden of the prose cutor's house, and come out subsequently with a bundle. They were followed, and taken into custody after much resistance. The bundle contained articles stolen from Mr BlaPer's house. Committed for trial. THE Nnw Lew Comm.—The decision of the beas to the plans of the new law courts is expected to be shortly given. The plans of Mr. Barry and Mr. Street have been put forward by the judges, and the matter has been referred back by the Treasury, and Mr. Pownall and Mr. Shaw have been added to the nuler of the judge., making seven. The Offices of Attorney-General to the county Palatine of Lancaster, and Judge of the Passage Court at Liverpool, became vacant by the death of Mr. B. James, M.P. The former of these appointments has been given to Mr. Stephen Temple, Q.C. The judgeship of the Passage Court at Liverpool is nut to be filled up. An interesting and extraordinary irquiry, di rected by the Board of Trade, is nuw in progress before Mr. James Ilaistow of the Temple, and the first sitting was held on Thursday l ast, in the Westminster Palace Hotel. The memorials which have occasioned this inquiry were presented under "The Great Western Act, 1852, No. 1," to the board by Messrs. Genish and Sainsbury, canal carriers, whose establishments at Bristol, Bath, and De vizes are well known. The matters of complaint set forth in the memorials appear to be the injurious effects on the canal trade produced by excessive tolls on canal goods im posed by the Great Western Railway Company (the pro prietors of the canal) since 1851, without a oorresponding increase in the rates of carriage on the rail. Mr. Lopez conducts tho inquiry on the part of the company, and Mr. G. W. Antis, of Devises, for Messrs. Genisli and Sains bury. At the first meeting an objection was taken by Mr. Lopez to the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade over the tolls claimable on the " Avon Navigation," which, before the close of the discussion, was withdrawn as untenable. Evidence in support of the memorials was taken, and the hearing adjourned to 11 o'clock this day. - - RIOTS AT OXFORD.—On Saturday night a serious disturbance tookplace in the streets of Oxford, originating, it is said, with the junior members of the university. In the morning of Saturday it was hinted that there would be a bread riot at night, and that the undergraduates r: ere determined to resist it. Up to a quarter past ten the streets were in their usual quietude, but just after that time a performance that had taken place at the Town-hall concluded and a town and gown row ensued immediately. After a great deal of fighting and skirmishing the un dergraduates were compelled by the proctors and other officials, though most unwillingly, to return to their respective colleges. Directly this was done the roughs at once proceeded to the bread establishments of Alderman Grub, situate in Queen-street end Corn-market street, and commenced breaking his windows; but the police, beaded by the new mayor (Alderman Carr), and other city and university authorities, succeeded in arresting nearly a score, who were taken to the University Police-station, all of whom, with the exception of one, were liberated on their own or other bail. Several college windows were likewise broken. The mayor, who was determined to quell the riots, had a narrow escape: while addressing the mob some miscreant threw a stone at him, but fortunately, instead of hitting his head, it palmed it, and went through a window close by. It was nearly three o'clock before the streets were cleared. Ten Suicraz AT OXFORD.—An inquest was held in the hall of Lincoln College, on Saturday afternoon, be fore Mr. Mayo, Bachelor of Physic, on the body of Mr. Hugh Francis O'Hanlon, fellow of that college, who com mitted suicide by shooting himself through the head on Friday last. Mr. Hitching, surgeon, said that deceased bad consulted him daring the present term, and told bins that he thought he was going to have an attack of drlirium tremens, and seemed in a desponding state. Mr. F. Sy. mends, another surgeon to whom deceased went for ad vice in the early part of the year, stated that he seemed to think persons were watching him, and was generally sus picious ; and on asking him some questions he became violently and unusually excited. It was also stated that the mother of the deceased had bad a diseased brain for the last ten years, and was unable to speak, and was other wise in a most pitiable condition. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased committed the act while in a state of temporary insanity." PERSONATION OF VOTERS.—The state of affairs at the late municipal elections for the borough of Birmingham has disclosed a considerable amount of corruption and venality among the electors. There were contests in six wards, and questionable prac tices have been resorted to in every instance. On Saturday two persona. named George Oliver, painter, Kent-street, and George Thorpe, cabman, Dartmouth street, were brought before the magistrate., and sentenced to one month's imprisonment for personating two voters of St. Martin's Ward ; and summonses have been granted by the magistrates against Edward Carrington, grocer, Lan caster-street, and Abraham Howell licensed victualler, Lancrister-etreet, for having induced John Hulbert to per sonate William Smallwood at the election for St. Mary's Ward. An application is about to be made to the Court of Queen's Bench to annul the election for this ward. It is expected that more summonses will be applied for to day on this account [Advertisement.]— HOLLOWAY'S PILLs.— Every body's wish Is most certainly to be well.

This week the orders given out by the factors have been smaller than at any time eines the commencement of the quarter, and if the present sluggish condition continues, manufacturers will, in many instances, have to put their bands on short time. The gun trade is moderately good, and the edge-tool makers report a slight improvement, but these are exce,s• tional cases. The metal-rollers, clectro-platers, and brass. foundets, moat of them complain of the scanty supply of orders. The same as to some departments of the tin-plate working business. The accounts from the jewellers and all who are engaged in the fancy trades, are most unfavour able. In the foreign department also dulness prevails. With regard to the manufacturing trades carried on in the South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire district, there is a considerable amount of depression ; there is no branch of importance in which manufacturers are doing an average amount, and many of them have only a few days' orders beforehand to keep them partially going ; in the neighbourhood of NVednesbury there are a considerable number of men out of work, and at some of the foundries they are not doing more than half of what is usual at this season. A failure was announced in this town yesterday ; it is on the part of Mr. Benjamin Goode in the gold chant trade. His liabilities amount to 36,000/. • there was a large amount due to the late Birmingham ianking Company, and Mr. Goode has been unable to arrange with the '• official liquidators;" the present casualty is simply a continuation of a difficulty which occurred a few years since. COTTON.—Llntaroor., Nov. 9.—Rather less doing, but prices continue steady. Estimated sales to-day, 10,000 bales, including 3,000 speculation and export. 4,000 American, 74d. to 10i d. ; 400 Pernam, Sid. to 94d . ; 200 Blaranham, Sid. to 91d. ; 300 Kiwi° and Bahia, 7d. to 9Ad. ; 300 Egy79o, 70. to 140.; 20 Smyrna, 1,280 Surat, 5.d. to 8& ; Madras, 7d.; Bengal, &Inds &a, id. to 51d. ; 300 0 Peru, 7. to 84.1.

COTTON GOODS.—Mairctistrren, Nov. 9.—Reviewing the market during the week past it will be remembered that cotton goods is the early part of it were affected pn favourably by the turn which political complications *tithe continent appeared to be taking. On Tuesday the demand for yarns was of a tune and sluggish character, with a de cline of Ad. to per lb. as compared with Friday, but sellers were not pressing their stocks unduly upon the market. For cloths on Tuesday the market was depressed, with en almost complete absence of business, and buyers were only making otters on so low • basis th at the actual value of goods was hardly tested. It gave way about in the same proportion as yarns. The market showed no improvement on Wednesday, but on Thursday the news from Rome and Italy was considered more encouraging than it had been for some days for shippers of goods to the continent, and them was a revival of demand for that quarter and in the market generally. Cotton had advanced at Liverpood, and the cloth and yarn market yesterday was again firmer, but with hardly so mulch disposition todo busi ness as on Thursday. Prices recovered to the extent of Jd. per lb in yarn yesterday, and in some Instances sellers de manded advance. as compared with the lowest rates taken on Tuesday. Mule twist (40's) was in request at id. advance, but the counts of water twist (16's to 32's) suit able for the continent, were only taken in small quantities and for early delivery. The advance on yarns compelled sellers of cloth to put up their quotations, and this inter fered both yesterday and to-day so as to prevent buyers putting out orders so freely as they had done on Thursday. There has been a better tone in the market and an im. proved feeling these two days, both on the part of buyers and sellers, but the former appear to have little disposition to follow any advance of consequence. Buyers have been pursuing theit inquiries rather actively with • view of testing prices, but are only operating on • cautious scale where they do operate ; and this applies to goods suitable for all markets. WOOLLEN.—Lizos, Nov. 9.—The market, this morn ing have not presented a very animated appearance either in the colour.d or white hall. The attendance of buyers both of Leeds and out-town houses has been small, and they who were present have only purchased in accordance with their present wants, which at this period of the year are not numerous. The demand has been entirely of • miscellaneous character, and attention has not been paid to any particular make. with the exception of tweeds, which still occupy the most prominent position, although the transfer has considerably decreased of late. Plain cloths have changed hands entirely in a sorting.up way, and the parcels that have been transferred in the coating department have also been small. Inquiries for beavers and similar makes are now very seldom made, and the amount of business done in these goods has been merely nominal. Hair-lists have also been quiet, and we cannot expect much improvement in any department until the turn of the year. WOOL AND WORSTED.—BR.tproRn. Nov. 9. — The week opened with a very gloomy feeling, arising from the very gloomy appearance of the Franco-Italian question, and the torpor thereby caused in every branch of the worsted trade was most marked. As the week advanced, however, the aspect of the question became more clear, and those connected with the trade were reassured and more hopeful. The result at the latter end of the week was a more cheer lid tone, rather more inquiry, particularly in wool, and more disposition to do business, though the negotiations to this end did not on the whole result in an appreciable improvement in the aggregate amount of business done. The wool bought was in small driblet, just sufficient to cover the immediate engagements of spinners. Holders of wool were rather firmer in their demands, though quota tions have remained about the same as last week. Average Lincoln wethers ' it is said, may be bought as low as ls. 9d. per lb. Wont ed yarns are without animation. Home consumers make a steady but vary restricted de mend. There has been a trifle more doing on the part of export merchants, some of whom have placed orders which had been kept back during the preceding ten days or a fortnight. The general feeling, however, is quite lifeless, and there ia no heart to do business beyond imme diate and pressing necessity. Short time working is on the increase, and some of the largest firms say that the stagnation is equal to that experienced in 11445. The same remarks will apply to goods. The operations are extremely meagre. Prices are very low, and it is impos sible to improve them. CORN.--CANBRIDOL, Nov. 9.—We bad again a very dull market for wheat and barley, and to effect sales lower prime were submitted to. Wheat, red, his. to 6SL ; white, 721. to 74a. Barley, 40s. to 45a. Beans, new, 46a. to 4rts.; old, :4s. Oats, 26.. to 32a. COLCINZATER, Nov. 9.—A fair supply of wheat, with a steady demand, at barely last week's currency. The value of barley receded from 2s. to :is. per qr., and sales were only effected to a fair extent at the decline, with a large show. Beans and peas without alteration in price*, and the supply small. OVII.11)YORD, Nov. 9.—With a large quantity of wheat at market the trade to-day ruled dull, and in some few instances rather leas money was taken ; there was, how ever, no quotable change in values. Barley in large sup ply, and very little disposition to purchase. Other spring corn unchanged. Wheat, 04s. to Ms. ; barley, 40s. to 44.; oats, Y.L. to 32..; peas, 42a. to 40s.

FACIRETS have been busily engaged with out-door operations since last week. Bales were made at barely late rates, the demand being moderate. White samples realised 775. to 81s. ; red. Geis. to 74a. per 36 stone. There was less activity in the barley trade, and the show of samples was fair. The demand being quiet. only a moderate share of business was done, and prices were Is. per qr. lower than on the week prec eding: malting moved off at 40s. to 46a. per qr. ; grinding,3ss. to3Bs. per3ostone. Of oats the show was seasonable, and some pretty good samples came to hand. Business was of a healthy cha racter. and the currencies of last week were maintained : old, 355. to 3.us. • new, 275. to 34a. per 24 stone. For beans, th e demand was fair, and the show being small, sellers succeeded in realising former priors: old, 475. to feta. per 38 stone. Fine flour made 545. to UM ; seconds, 30,. to 52g. per 20 stone. • Ngwcanne-ennt-Trirg, Nov. o.—The weather con tinues all that could be desired, of which our fanners are availing themselves. We had a less supply of wheat from our fanners to-day than usual at this season of the year, and with diminished arrivals from the coast, the trade fully recovered the decline of Tuesday. Flour very scarce, and firmly held. Malting barley difficult of sale, and in clining lower. Grinding barley, beans, and peas unchanged. Old eau slow sale, and new Is. lower. The arrivals this week are:—Wheat, coastwise 382 ; foreign, 852. Rye, coastwise 50. Barley, coast wise, 229 ; foreign, 481. Malt, co;stwise, 323. Oats, coastwise, 1,098 ; foreign, 250.

Nov. 9.—The supply of wheat was very fair at this market to-day, and the demand being tolerably active, the prices of last Saturday were fully maintained, and in some instances rather exceeded. The 'bow of barley was good ; and although the demand was brink, prices for the best descriptions must be quoted about Is. per quarter lower ; other sortswere also taken off at a similar reduction. The weather during the past week has been tine and seasonable, with slight frosts, and great progress has been made in securing the mangold crops ni fine order. White wheat (weighing 6111 m. to 631b5./.75 4 . to 795.; red ditto (w. ighing nulha. to 6311,5.), this. to 725.; best melting barley (weighing 531 be. to 541ba.), 445. to 46e. ; rune ditto (weighing 521 be. to 41a. to 435. ; distilling ditto (weighing 491bs. to 5111 m.), 365. to 365. ; oats, %s. to 341, ; beans, 46e. to 475. ; peas (maple), 465. to 475. per qr.

NOTTIVORAI, Nov. 9.—There was a moderate supply of wheat at our corn market to-day, and the demand woi slow, at L. per qr. less money. White sorts sold at 'us. to g4s. ; red, 70s. to 765. per 36 stone. Barley was pretty well represented, and samples were of irregular quality. The demand was by no means active, and prices for the best sorts were a little lower; secondary descriptions were Is. to 2s. per qr. down ; making may be written at 455. to pci gr. ; griudiug, :4/s. to 41s. per .id stone. The sapid) , of oats was middling, and a tolerable demand was experienced. Buyers tried to supply their wants at le.s money, but were unable to do so ; old, :Ns. to 40s. ; new, rs. to Xs. per 24 stone. Of beans the show was by no means plentiful, and sales were made steadily at about the currencies of last week ; old, trig. to 58s. • new, 445. to Sts. per 38 stone. Peas were without mater ial change. Super dour, 58e. to 60s. ; fine, 64e. to 56e. per sack. OXFORD, Nov. 9. —There was a fair suppl,y of wheat to• day at this Corn Exchange, and also a good attendance ; samples were in an improved condition, and a moderate demand was experienced, prices declining from la. to 22. Barley, of which there was a tolerable supply, ally qr . fully maintained last week's rates. Quotations were as follows, viz.:—Wheat, litta. to 765. per qr. ; barley, Qs. to 46..; oats, 2Ce. to Ma. ; beans, 30s. to ; boiling peas, Ms. to 345. ; hog peas very scarce ; flour, seconds, 3fe. per sack. PETERBOROUGH, Nov. 9.—We had an immense supply of grain here to-clay, and prices of all kinds were consi&r. ably lower—for wheat fully 2a. per qr.; barley, 24. to :'4. per qr. and in some mace even more t han that ; oats, ls. per qr.; and white peas, 2s. per qr. - - - READING, Nov. B.—The wheat trade ban been generally inactive during the week, the price being in favour of buyers where trade has been done. The barley trade hrui not been brisk, but late rates have been supported. Oats in larger supply, and easier to purchaae. Peas quite as dear, and beans without change. _ _ ROCHESTER, Nov. 9.—A fair supply of new parcels of wheat was brought forward at this Corn Exchange by farmers and others, and there was about an average at. tendanoe of the city and country trade. Transactions, however, were of a very limited character, and although holders were willing to accept • reduction of fully 2.. per qr. buyers acted with great reserve, and refused to par. chase excepting to satisfy immediate wants. For all kinds of both white and red sorts of wheat the (mota tions show • further reduction of fully 2s. per qr., at which decline the trade was very languid with transac tions mostly in retail. The highest prices for best white wheat are 725. to 7134., smaudary MM. to 725., 11011 &Lip and inferior GU to 68s. per qr. ; best white wheat to 70. aeoondary 645. to 66a., and inferior 625. to ..4s. per qr. The foreign market continues inactive, and with large supplies known to be on their way to thia coun try, prices are Is. to 2s. per qr. cheaper. Choice lots of flour fetched late pt ices, but for the secondary lots the terms are about Is. per sack lower, with • chiefly re tail inquiry. In barley there was not mach doing, and with a moderate show of both malting and grinding parcels late prices were well supported ; for malting lots the quotations ranged from 40s. to-Wm, and grinding 30s. to 345. per qr. ; malt steady and prices firm. Very little was done in oats, and with a good supply prices are fully Gd. per qr. cheaper. Beans and peas both in limited request, and prices about the same as before. Wisasce, Nov. 9.—We have a good supply of grain of all kinds here today. Wheat is ls. per qr. cheaper, but not easy to buy at the decline. Osta, beans, and, barley about the same as Let week. WORCESTER, Nov. 9.--At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and to e ff ect sales a decline of nearly ls. per qr. had to be submitted to. Barley la, per yr. lower. Oata unaltered. Beans rather cheaper. Peas firm. Tout, Nov. 9.—There was not a large supply of wheat at to-day's oorn market, and the attendance was mole. rate. The bulk piths samples were of this year's growth. The demand was limited, and rates had a downward tendency. Prices for white sorts ranged from 745. to sm. ; ditto, for red, 70s. to 74e. pee .10 stone. The supply of barley was tolerably good, and come fair qualities came to hand. There was a limited demand, and priees, except for the finest sorts, were la to 2s. per qr. Nader. Melon; samples were saleable at 40a. to 435. per qr., and grindii; at 395. to 40s. per 30 stone. The show of oats was rat. cient to meet the demand, and prices for the most put were without material change; new, 265. to 30s. per stone. Beans came to market rather sparingly, and sample were disposed of at quite former teruis, namely, 50s. 525. per 38 stone. Malt, 665. to 68e. ; rye, 421. per Flour sold at 3s. per sack leas money ; 52a. to ass. per sa.o of 2001 be. WATNRIFORD, Nov. 9.—Several cargoes foreign psi:, principally wheat, arrived this week. Supplies of hone produce continue small. The business transacted here since this day sennight was to a very fair extent, but h.,' than either of the two previous weeks. To promote des:. ings sellers reduced prices of the principal article% Wheat.—For foreign, at about Gd. per barrel under orr last quotations there is a good inquiry. Irish, after few changes in value, closes fully as dear as on SaturiLy last. Barley.—The samples on sale have not been use good, and extreme prices of last week would be paid f • prime lots. Black oats.— Shippers decline to parchi. anises at a reduction of ad. per barrel, which holden, some measure resist. Indian corn still in limited deroat.% and Gd. cheaper. Flour firm.

A., RAILWAY Daßaztruara.—An examination of the " net receipts" of railways, as they are made up in the official returns, and placed in concoction with the deben ture liabilities of various companies, will show at once the disproportion which exists between them. For in stance, the debenture liabilities of the London and North Western, taken for one year only, amount to 1018 per cent. of its net receipts ; while those of the Great Western were 73'64 per cent. of their amount. In the case of the Great Eastern the proportion was:1018 per cent. ; that of the South Eastern 32'83 per cent,; the London and South Western, T2'll per cent.; and the London, Chatham, se.' Dover, 102'16 per cent. When to these proportions of de benture liabilities are added the charges on preferential stocks, the public obtain, though somewhat imperfe:tly, a tolerable index of the value of their debenture security. The difference between the proportions of debenture Lai- Mies and the " net receipts " of railways are sufficiently striking to distinguish most of the successful companies from those that are embarrassed by financial difficulties, and when the preferential charges are also added for de duction from the net receipts, the resulta are made known with incontrovertible accuracy. The practical inference, therefore, to be drawn from these facts is, that the secu rity of the debenture holder in any railway compel' depends, not upon the amount of " net receipts" &lone, but upon the proportion which the debenture claim!, added to preferential charges, bear to those receipts. — Railmay New.
