II RYLEBOYE. stecutut APPUCATIOX OF DR. WEBti. .1 fter the night charges were disposed of Dr. Weld., well known in Marvlebone, and who stiles himself the old reformer, stepped into the witnessaMx and addressed his worship as follows. He said :—" I beg your wonhip's pardon, mod ask you kindly to listen to me for five !id eates. I have something to my which I think you must admit will be facts of some gnat importance. lam well knows is this great borough as an old and tried reformer, more especially in matters of finance. I have called a pub lic meeting in Hyde-park of the inhabitants of Loudon on hundayafteratien nest to petition the Queen to dissolve rear and then to eras an onler in council by which small boroughs will not be disfranchised but enlarged; to command all returning officers in the three kingdoms, of districts above 30.000 inhabitants, to divide them into wards of that mobs; ; seal officers of districts of lees than 30,000 to salarg• the boundaries that number, or 60,000 for two members, each such ward to return one member to partie s...at Harylebone by this arnmgemeut would have It members instead of the insignificant two. Every inhabi. Wt above 16 to vote by ballot. This is the object of my calling the meeting, and I have been told ror political and other friends that it will not be allowed, u I shall be acting illegally and in defiance of the law. Hr. Mansfield—Hyde-perk is nut of my jurisdiction. Dr. Webl.-1 wax not aware of that, your worship, sad I beg year pardon for troubling you. My only object is not tesally, but Ido hope it will be legal. I was only once in my life and that was by Sir Thomas sad I then was acquitted and got costs. This I believe wee the and and last time that ever any person pleases from the Kin,. Dr. Webb expressed his thanks for tot seerlisy shown, and retired. As it appears to be neoeseary to fill up the ancient and how:amble post of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports without noel delay, owing to the inability to carry on the business conneeied with the ports without the sanction of such caw, public attention is directed to the ques tion, who will be the new Lord Warden? " A general feeling" says the Dorrr " is displayed in favour of the illustrious premier Viacount Palmerston. In modern times, t►e Right Hon. William Pitt, the Earl of Liverpool, the ever memorable Wellington, and late lamented Marquis Dalboulie, have sustained the dignity of this important pont , and there is no one occupying a position of public trust at the present moment who is more fitted to succeed the late nobleman than Lord Viscount Palmerston, the present Premier of England. We hope the inhabitants of these ports will send a requisition without delay to the noble viscount, asking him to accept this post of dignity and honour." The Post asks :—" Why should we not have rid ftve-shilliag pieces in circulation? This is a question which is daily becoming of more and more pressing in target. Convenience, the currency, the principle or theory al the nonage, if such a theory or principle there be, and the beneficial experience of our neighbours, all point in favour of such a change." The following distressing statement appears in the Times :—"We regret to learn from undoubtodanthority OA the report recently circulated in several journals of the gradual improvement in Miss Nightingale's health is entirely without foundation. lien malady, far from being alleviated. increases upon her, and her state, which oorifines.l her entirely to her apartment, is one of 'great exhaustion sad severe suffering." The py seasol in Rome Las now fairly set in, and, as it will he short (Aah.Wedneaday falling on the 13th of February), there seems a disposition to make the most of it.

Experiments are waking (in France) with a new mortar eaanoa, of which, it is said, the effect will be much greater than anything yet accomplished by the Armstrong or Whitworth guns. This instrument of destruction can serve either as a cannon or a mortar. In the first case the mortar torsos the breech of the guns by means of a double bine, which nay be attached or removed with the greatest facility.—Paris Correspondent of tie Timm. • SuirnaT Raw Amu(laTiori.—A deputation from the Metropolitan Sunday Rest Amoriatime waited upon Sir Deo.

The funds have not fully supported the improve ment which took place after the recognised bourn yesterday afternoon. A reaction of 1 1 1 per cent. is observable in Consols. British railway stocks continue to decline. The principal feature is a fail of 1 per cent. in Midland, caused by speculative realise-dm*. In every department of the Stock Exchange business is very dull. It is stated Urn a considerable amount of gold has been taken from the Bank to-day for exporta tion. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rent.; opened at 67fr. 25c., bnt reculed to qtr. 20c., being rather more ti.an j per'oeut. worse than yesterday. The telegram describes the Bonrse as flat, with all securities offered. Consols are officially marked 911, 1, and for tr.oncy, and 91/ and 1 for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 1 fur cash, and 91a to 1 for the 7th of February. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 2321, 231 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 1,1; New Three per Cents., ; 911, 1,1, ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; India Stock, 221 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1859, 1001, ; ditto Bonds, 13s. dis. ; Five per Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 94; Exchequer Bills, 50., 10s. die. Very little business has been done in foreign stocks. In the absence of trans actions prices may be considered in all instances almost exactly the same as yesterday. Sales are recorded as follows :—Bra zilian Old Five per Cents., 99 ; ditto Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 1880, 851, 1 ; Russian Four-and a-Half per Cents., 921, 1, ex div. ; ditto Three per Cents., 1869, 601; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 561, 1. TIN MINtiTES PAST Two. Consols hare declined to 91! •• sellers " for the account. The recovery in the funds yesterday afternoon was promoted by two considerations. One was a sudden rise in the French funds, accompanied by a report—which remained quite without confirmation up to the close of business—that the French govern ment has at last determined to rid itself of the immediate difficulties of the situation by the plan iible but lamentable expedient of authorising the Bank of France to suspend specie payments. The fact that such a rumour obtained general cir culation is significant of the straits to which French finance has now been reduced. The first effect of the step referred to might be a paper prosperity, and a temporary inflation in the market for public securities. The second cause of the improvement in Consols was the news from America. Satisfac tion is felt at the prospect of the crisis being speedily solved, in one sense or the other. In some quarters • hope is clung to that the President's sudden and energetic action against the small state of South Carolina may hasten a settlement. How ever this may be, the financial advices are much more satisfactory. The remittances of specie and bullion by the Etna, which sailed from Liverpool for New York yesterday, are large, amounting to 212,5001., and making the aggregate sent since the 28th Novem ber, 2,,67,500f. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yes terday, but 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for New York. The major portion of the sovereigns shipped by the Etna mast have been taken from the Liverpool branch yesterday. The Seine will take to-day 7,5001. in silver, and 2,5001. in gold, for the West Indies. Subjoined is a list of the Australian gold ships now on the way to this country • the total is 686,0001.

Oid. per ounce, showing a decline of no less than 11d. , compared with the price obtained on the Ist instant for a portion of those by the Atrato. As previously explained, the continuous fall in the value of this coin is caused by the cessation of the demand for China on mercantile and government account. Peace having been concluded with China, the necessity of govern ment making remittances of specie thither is obviated. The Liverpool cotton market continues very active. The sales yesterday reached 20,000 bales, at very full prima. The rive in New York Central Railway shares from 76 to 78 at New York is considered a very favourable indication, as it must have been occa sioned by the local demand, few or no English order*, having been sent out to buy that stock. The large sums due from America to England this month as interest on American securities held in this country will have considerable effect towards keeping up the exchange. The Money Market Re view observes : Years ago the agate of our American investments was estimated at 80,000,0001. sterling. The interest on this sum, taken at five per cent, would be 4,000,000 i. per annum. It is perhaps marcely an exaggeration to reckon that in this present month, when the bulk of the half yearly dividends fall doe, America has to Fay us • minima and-a-half sterling. She owes us a financial tribute, which forms a not inconsiderable set-off against the large par- chum that we have lately made from her. The London and North-Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 138/. ; the Great Northern, a decrease of 4181. ; the Great Western, a decrease of 1,1721. ; and the Loudon and South Western, a decrease of 8611. There was a rumour that the forthomaing traffic return of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company will show an increase of only about 1,0001. compared with last year. The error which is committed by the board or officials of this com pany, in permitting the traffic returns to become known to individuals, before the general public are informed of them, continues to excite great animadversion. It is understood that repreeenta tions have been made to the board on the subj_ ect from the railway department of the Stock Ex change. The directors, if they regard their own character, cannot ignore them. Either a breach of trust is committed by the company's officials, or a system is countenanced by the directors which is now exploded at every railway board in the kingdom. The half-yearly report of the directors of the Scottish Australian !Divestment Company shows a gross profit of 10,2601., the whole of which, with the exception of 1361., represents income of a per manent character, being derived from rents, inte rest, and commission. The amount is 921. more than in the last half-year, and 1,6041. more than in the corresponding six months of 1869. A dividend is proposed at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, less income tax, which will require 10,0001., and leave at the credit of the reserve fund 10,8661. The advantages which will accrue by raising sup- . plementary capital at a moderate fixed rate of in terest here, and investing it in the colony, are again urged. Within the last three months a sum of 28,630/. has been lent to the company on Five per Cent. Debentures. The directors express a confident anticipation that these securities will become favour able investments with the public. A call 21.„ coshing 10f. paid, is to be /rid on the tcw 31. ares (funrth alotineat) in the Brighton, I E, , anti Pre,ton Waterworke Company by the sth February. The aunnol hawing of bonds of the Great Lux embourg Company for reimbursement took place on the 31st ;:lt With reference to the market for American securitic,, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : The market ondon for American securities, during the past weeac, las been dull, especially for federal and Notes stocks a.; railroad bonds. The principal bus iness has been in Mine:a caul Erie shares, which continue to be Largely aealt iu, i.ut the prices in New York and London seem to bear litt:e analogy to each other.

As OLD WOMAN BVILNT TO Deere.—Mr. Ash ford, the coroner of Frome, held an inquest at the Unicorn Inn, on Monday afternoon last, on the body al Mary Watts, aged 76, who had died on the previous Tuesday from the effects of burns sustained on Saturday, the sth instant. It appeared that while the poor old woman was engaged in cleaning the hearth of her hoses, her cap accidentally ignited, and the flames soon spreading to her other garments, she received frightful injuries before assist awe arrived. She was placed under the care of Mr. Bush, sturgeon, but that gentleman from the first entertained no hopes of her recovery, the nervous system having received a great shock, besides the burns being of an extensive cha racter. The poor old woman lingered in dreadful agony till Tuesday, when death put an end to her lingering'. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."—Bads CAronick. A SKRVICKARLE MAN.—On Thursday, the 10th inst., expired at Abbott's Morton, in this county, Mr. Richard Garfield, aged 61 years. He was a man of singular abilities. He was born sod bred at Abbott's Morton, and was chiefly self-taught. He could perform excellent work either es blacksmith, carpenter, joiner, cooper, stone-mama, bricklayer, painter, white-wasber, or paperhauger. He could dig out the foundation of a house, perforni all the stone-mason's and bricklayer's work,nudie all the door frames and window-frames, make all the don't, pot ou the roof, lay all the floors, whether of brick, boards, or stone, put on all locks, do all the blacksmith's work required for every pert of the house, paint and paper the house, and make it fit for the residence of a genteel family ; mll this he would perform in the most workmanlike manner. He might have been seen one day hanging very heavy gates, and the next day executing very nice joiner's wmrk, painting, &c. Had Garfield lived in a more thickly populated place, he might have achieved great =WOW in business ; but living in a quiet country village like Abbott's Morton, hie talents were almost buried. He was sober, honest, and industrious, and was greatly respected by all.— Worcestershire Chronicle. Tux CORFU AND OTRANTO TZLROZAPH.—The accident to the English screw steamer William having on board the cable to be Lad between Corfu Cory, sad Otranto, referred to in a former number, was occasioned by the French man-of-war Homer running into her is a very an esernaalike manner, in mid-day, there being little wind sod sea on at the time. The Gomer was acting as tender to the William Corv, which vessel, when the socident occurred, was laying the Toulon and Minorca cable. It was ex- Medthat this mishap would detain the Williams at Toulon till about the drd of January, when she would leave to complete the laying of the cable, the end of which has been left fastened to a buoy within SO miles of the French coast, where there was no less than 1,800 fathoms water. She may be expected here about the end of this month, whet.
