MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS YESTERDAY. meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada is convened for the 28th inst., to de clare a dividend. The half-yearly meeting of the Danube and Black Sea Railway and Kustendjie Harbour Com pany is called for the 29th inst. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the recent diminution in the with drawals of gold from the Bank of England, the k az ette return, published yesterday afternoon , sho ws only a small reduction in the stock of bullion. .a l . ll zl the oth er it ems o f th e account generally exhi bit a favourable tendency. The discount operations of the establishment, for example, have materially f allen off, because the commercial requirements have continued very moderate, and the banks and private firms, by making concessions, have been enabled to secure nearly the whole •of the bills brought forward for negotiation. The reserve of notes, moreover, has been largely augmented. The Particulars are shown in the following table : Active Circulation .. £20,454,245 Decrease .. • • .. .. 645,300 Bullion .. .• 16,389,623 Decrease .. 36,287 Rest .. 3,093,658 Increase 9,610 Public Deposits .. 6,928,047 Increase .. • • .. .. 656,942 Other Deposits.. 14,738,147 Decrease .. .. • • .. 241,742 Seven Day and other Bills .. 780,715 Increase .. 1,308 Government Securities 11,113,992 Increase 50,000 Other Securities .. 19,394,297 Decrease .. . • • • • . 232,895 Notes Unemployed 8,717,750 Increase 606,025 The Seine, from the West Indies, has brought £144,155, and the Bavaria, from New York, £ 2 8,971, in specie. _Busin ess in th e F ore i gn an d C o l on i a l P ro d u ce Market s has been partially suspended, owing to the foggy 'weather, and the public sales of most of the Principal staples, viz., of sugar, coffee, rice,and wool, announced to take place yesterday, were postponed until to-day. According to the latest advices from New York, mon ey Was rather easier, and loans at call were obtainable at 5 per cent. Gold had further declined, but it Was considered that the lowest point had bee n 6 ionehed, and that henceforward a steady ad vance in price might be expected. There was not much business in foreign exch an g e, the bankers being the chief buyers, and they were not disposed to sell at the prevailing rates. Stocks and shares continued to improve. Two O'CLOCK. Tho Bank of France Return for the past Month has been published to-day, and is unfavour able. There is a diminution in the stock of bullion of £1,860,000, and of £284,400 on the Treasury balances. The discounts have increased £3,445,000, and the notes £1,620,000. Th e Market for the English Fonds opened this horning with a better appearance, and buyers came forward whose operations led to an improvement of 1 8 per cent. The tendency of prices seemed to be f avourably influenced by the Bank of England r eturn showing scarcely any movement in the bullion, an increase in the reserve of notes, and a falling off in the demand for money. Shortly afterwards, however, the particulars of the B ank of F rance re t urn f or th e past mont h b ecame 414 °wn, and as its features were unsatisfactory, Prices once more gave way, and, at the latest mo ment, the market indicates heaviness. Consols, for transfer have been 98 I, and are now 931 4 ; for the account, less the dividend, they have been 921 1, and afterwards 92 s. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 911 92 ; Bank Stock has de clined to 235 and 2352 ; India ditto to 228; and t he 5 per Cent. Lean 1091 I.

TREPRESIDENT ON THE ELECTIONS.—In a speech at Cambridgeport, h lasaachusetts t S ena tor Wilson said : The other day I ca ll ed upon the President with an earnes t D ouglas Democrat of Ma ssachusetts. The news had just °eine to the President of these defeats of his supporters in t hose States, and the President seemed bowed down, as I have seen him bowed down when intelligence of the de feat of our armies in the field came upon him, and he said, I confPss that I am grieved at the results of these elec tions. This intelligence will go to Europ e ; it will be con strued there as a condemnation of the war ; it will go into the land of the rebellion, and will encourage the leading re bels and nerve the arms of the rebel soldiers W , many of fighting our /l ien in the field. It is true,' said the President ' t hese men elected profess to be 'Par Democrat s ; but the re °°l4tions of their Conventions, the tone of their leading Presses, and their general action will be construed every..

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) STONES V. STONES AND PRICE. In this case the husband petitioned the Court for dis solution of his marriage on the ground of adultery. The petitioner was a publican and dealer in pottery in Staffordshire, and was married in 1854. Some time after the wife became addicted to drink, and formed an acquaintance with the co-respondent, which, according to the evidence, terminated in an adulterous intercourse of a most gross cha racter, a servant of the respondent proving that she used to sleep with Mrs. Stones, and on two occasions Price went to the hod of the respondent while both women were in it. Other improper conduct was witnessed by other parties, the sister of the petitioner being one. The case was partly heard yesterday, and this morning the Judge Ordinary pronounced his decision. His lordship said he had considered the evidence, and had arrived at the conclusion that the charge against the woman had been proved. The evidence of the sister went to show that there bad been such familiarities between the respondent and Price as to lead him to the belief that adultery had been committed. Although Dr. Spinks had most ungenerously argued that the evidence of the servant girl Walters, who alone proved any direct conduct showing adultery, was not enough to justify the petitioner's prayer being granted, yet he (the Judge Ordinary) found that there was corroboration of the conduct ascribed to the respondent with Price in the most material points. The trifling difference as to the dates spoken of by one witness made no substantial difference, and the decree nisi would therefore be pronounced with costs. BURCH V. BURCH, AND KEYES AND HAMBROW. This was a petition presented by the husband, praying for a divorce on the ground of adultery. The parties resided near Taunton, Burch carrying on the business of a miller, the co - respondent . Keyes being a police-constable. Witnesses proved the adultery in both cases. A decree nisi was pronounced with costs against Keyes. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) EXCURSIONISTS AND THEIR TROUBLES.--SINGULAR CASE AND IMPORTANT DECISION.—IVIMEY V ROBINSON. This was an action to recover £3 damages sustained under the following circumstances, of great importance to persons proceeding upon excursions : Plaintiff said—ln August last I saw an advertisement in a newspaper of an excursion to Portsmouth for ss. by water, and as I wanted to go, I with two friends took tickets per the Leda steamboat. We left London -bridge safely, and went on our journey until we arrived at Southend, when the engine broke down and we could not proceed any fur ther—(laughter)—being detained at Southend two days— (renewed laughter)—when we were taken back to London bridge, and never reached Portsmouth at all. I claim now £3 damages for this detention, as it was defendant's duty to have satisfied himself of the seaworthiness of the steamer before letting it start. Mr. Cattarns, of Mark-lane, for defendant, urged that the steamer was surveyed by the proper Government official at regular intervals, and that the break down was an accident. Plaintiff—Oh, she was an old vessel. Mr. Cattarns—She runs now. Defendant is only the agent, and plaintiff might have found out the principal before suing. His Honour—The principal is not disclosed on the receipt nor in the advertisement of the excursion. If the defendant pays he can sue the owner. Mr. Cattarns—Most likely defendant would have paid, but he considered plaintiff made an exorbitant demand. Plaintiff could have gone to Portsmouth by rail for 58. His Honour—Oh I but he required a sea trip. (Laughter.) Mr. Cattarns—Then surely he cannot complain, as he had two extra days at sea without charge. (This most in genious argument was received with great laughter.) His Honour—Where did the advertisement appear p Plaintiff—ln Bradshaw. Mr. Cattarns then argued that, as defendant was only the agent, he was not liable, but His Honour ruled that he had not disclosed his principal, and that plaintiff was not bound to run about to find out who was the owner. Defendant had his remedy against the owner, but as plaintiff had been detained at Southend for two days, and as he was not taken to Portsmouth at all, there was a clear breach of contract, and so plaintiff would have a verdict with costs. PEARS V. THE UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED). This was an action to recover for work and labour done in repairing the roof of a house damaged by putting up the company's poles. Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff, who stated that he had been employed by a Mr. Blanchard (who was in the service of the company at the time, but had since left) to do ;he work. A gentleman who represented the company said that Blanchard had no authority to employ plaintiff. Blancliard's duty was to obtain the sanction of householders for the erec tion of the poles. His honour thought that Blanchard had authority to employ plaintiff, and the company must pay. Defendants' agent said he should certainly move for a new trial. Verdict for plaintiff, with costs. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES-(THIS DAY.) This morning about3o'clock of th th a e g; v ea h t i e t s e t ch a a la pe rm i-ro w a a d s , caused in the neighbourhood owing to a fire of rather a destructive character breaking out in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Pacifico, a photo graphic artist and apparatus dealer, carrying on business at No. 93, in the above -mentioned thoroughfare. The die. covert' was made by a police-constable of the H division by noticing, whilst prJceeding along his beat, a dense mass of smoke pouring forth from the warehouse at the back of the house. Ihe officer without delay sprung his rattle, and having aroused the inmates of the front houses and procured assistance, he sent off for the aid of the Royal Society's escapes and engines. The conductor quickly attended with his escape, and was followed by the engines of the parish and several of the London Brigade, and also one of the land steamers, bringing with them Capt. Shaw, the superintendent, Mr. Bridges, the foreman of district A, Engineer Maidman, and a strong corps of firemen. Fortu nately the mains of the Ea s t L on d on Company yielded an abundant supply of water, f rom w h ich the firemen went to work in an intrepid manner, b u t i n spite of their exertions the fire continued its ravages for some time, and having seized upon the staircase it was feared that the entire pile of buildings would have been consumed. Owing, however, to the great quantity of the opposing element thrown upon the flames, they were eventually extinguished, but not until the back warehouses were burnt out and their con tents consumed, and the stairs and front house considerably damaged by fire. The back part of the warehouse belong ing to Mr. Austin, furniture dealer (Nr..,. 42), is also damaged by water. Fortunately tht whole of the inmates escaped in safety. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss will fall upon the Rent Mutual, the Sun, and Royal Exchange Fire Offices, A fire also took place in the private residence of A. Solo man, Esq., No. 35, Bloomsbury-square, and had it not been so opportunely discovered, would doubtlessly have in volved the destruction of two of the splendid mansions. The fire commenced in the third floor of Mr. Soloman's premises, and had worked its way into the third floor of No. 36, belonging to Mr. J. Hall. The engines of the brigade, under the Direction of Mr, Fogo, the chief officer of the B district, quickly attended, Perryer and Flynns, a n d th e fi remen and also e ng ineers sappily succeeded in getting the firs extinguished, t'ut not until considerable damage was Bono to Witt building. The two owners were Ipouretl ill the Su.'a and Westminster fire offices. . fire Ease took place the same morning in the premises of Mr. T. Allen, beer-shop proprietor, No. 9, Wyndham road, Camberwell, which was caused by an escape of gas. Awing to the timely aid afforded, the damage done was not considerable. GENERAL BUTLER'S PROCEEDINGS. A short time since it was announced in the Ame rican news that Gen. Butler had forcibly removed valuables to the amount of about 30,000 dls. from a Prussian vessel, the Essex, which was on the point of leaving New Orleans for Europe. The Baltic Gazette contains a letter from Stralsund, which thus describes the affair :—" If the most recent news from New Orleans is confirmed, Gen. Butler, on the 9th ult., after having illegally detained the vessel for 25 days, forcibly removed about 30,000 dols. worth of valuable property from on board, and set her at liberty. According to the law in this case , t h e owners of the vessel will not be liable in England for the amount of the valuables in question, as the captain is not responsible for the consequences of an exercise of force by a foreign ruler or his represen tative, and it will be the business of the interested parties (partly English subjects) to d eman d at Washington the restoration of their property. However, the owner of the ship - -Essex, b y means of the Prussian Minister at Washingto n , h as ma d e a claim on the Government of the United States for compensation for the loss caused to him in so shameful a manner, and has claimed the protection, and especially the support of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Berlin. The amount claimed as compen sation is very considerable, and is co mprised under various heads, including the mainten ance of the numerous passengers during the 25 days' detention, the wages and support of the crew of 25 men for a month, the loss of the freight on the 30,000 dols. Worth of property removed, the in terest on ab ou t 60,000 P russ i an t h a l ers i nv ested in th e ship, loss of time, and other items, so that the total amount of the claim w ill b e abo u t 25 1 000 dots," POLICE-THIS DAY. - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE PAIUSH OF ST, GEORGE'S, HANOVER-SQUARE, AND THE POOR. —Three men, named Henry Saxby, Patrick Dunn, and Thomas Moore, were charged before Mr. Knox with unlawfully breaking several panes of glass in the win dows of St. George's-workhouse, Mount -street, Grosvenor , square. , John Lines, the task-master, proved that six panes of glass, of the value of 18s., were broken by the prisoners. Sergean Winters, 8 C, proved seeing a crowd of persons standing at the door of the workhouse, and the three pri soners were given into his custody. Saxby admitted break ing some of the windows. One of the prisoners said that he had been kept waiting for some time in the cold. Mr. Knox asked whether there was any pretence for say ing that poor persons were unduly kept outside the house in this inclement weather, Sergeant Winters said he had heard persons told by the officers of the house that they could not be admitted. There was also a board placed in front of the house, stating that the casual ward was closed. Mr. Knox asked the porter of the workhouse how that was. They had no business to close the ward. The porter said, that in consequence of the numbers ap plying in July last, the wards were ordered to be closed. There used to be 300 or 400 persons applying to be admitted every night— all the beggars of London. After the ward was closed it was left to his discretion who to admit, and he admitted as many as he could. Men of the prisoner's class came in bodies of 20. He gave them bread, but he could not admit more than the ward would hold. Mr. Knox asked how many persons the casual ward would hold. The porter said 10 men and 14 women—in all about 24. Mr. Knox said that to let in only as many as 24 seemed to him a sad deficiency of accommodation. It seemed by the porter's own showing that the casual ward was very deficient, and he could not see at this inclement season of the year that the parish was doing its ditty in only taking in 24 poor persons. At the same time it would not do to allow persons to smash the workhouse windows. One of the men said he had walked 15 miles yesterday. It was the first time of his going there, and he could not stop in the streets all night in the cold. Mr. Knox said they had no right to break the windows. He would again ask the porter whether he meant him to understand that there was only accommodation for 24 per sons in the casual ward. The porter said that was the case. The prisoners were ordered to pay the damage or 7 days in default. Emma Smith was also charged with a similar offence. She said she had been kept two hours waiting in the cold for admission, and then broke the window. She was simi larly sentenced, THAMES. A SAILOR ON A WRONG TACK.—Caroline Macdonald, a most determined and desperate thief, who has been fre quently in custody, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a canvas bag containing about £8 in money from the person of Mr. George Gaskin, the chief mate of the ship Eliza. The prosecutor, a veteran seaman, with a master's certifi cate of competency, said he was making sail over Tower hill last night, or early this morning, when he was regu larly boarded by the prisoner, who caught hold of his star board arm and invited him to go home with her. He shook her off and said he did not want her company, but she hung on to ihim, and insisted on convoying him wherever he went. He tried in vain to part company with her, and at last went down a turning to avoid her. She followed him, and finding he was on a wrong tack Pie ported his helm, and was returning towards Ratcliff-high way when she laid hold of him again, and put her hand into his right hand trousers' pocket, from which she took a canvas bag containing £3 and some odd shillings. He sung out for the police and caught her hand. The money rolled out of the bag, and some of it was caught by a police-con stable before it reached the ground. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the prosecutor said he was quite sober last night. He drank a pint or two of porter, and nothing else. When his money was counted at the station-house there was - only £4l2s. in the bag. He lost about £3 108. He believed some of the prisoner's confede rates had the money. There were four or five women with her—a regular fleet of them. Willis]; Ambridge, a police-constable, 132 H, said he found the last witness on his back in Neptune-court, Well close. square, and the prisoner standing over him. She had a bag in her hand, which he seized, and the money slipped through his hand into the gutter. The prisoner said "Look, he is dropping his money." Witness replied, "No, he is not, you are dropping it." He recovered £4 12s. 6d. Mr. Selfe asked the prosecutor if he went down Neptune. court for any other purpose than to avoid Che prisoner ? Mr. Gaskin—l can assure you, for nothing else. Mr. Selfe—Neptune-court is a very suspicious place in deed. How came you on your back ? Mr. Gaskin—Why, she regularly capsized me. I was on my beam ends. Ambridge said that the prisoner put a pawnbroker's duplicate into her mouth in the station-house, and at tempted to chew it. He plucked it from her mouth, and discovered it related to a silver watch pawned for 14s. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. There was a very moderate supply of English wheat re ceived fresh up to this morning's market. The trade, however, was dull, both for red and white qualities, and prices had a downward tendency. The show of samples of foreign wheat was largo. In all fiesciptions, sales progressed heavily, at, for the most part, easier rates. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, and the quotations were baiely supported. The supply of barloy was more extensive, and the trade ruled heavy, at drooping curriences. The demand for malt was steady, at full prices. _ _ We were very largely supplied with oats, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a further reduction of d, per quarter._ Beans and peas moved off slcwly, at abott Monday's currency. Flour sold heavily : but witliout leading to any quotable change in price. ARRIVALS THIS IvEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The wheat market continues to be affected by the heavy and uninterrupted character of the foreign arrivals, abbough the receipts in the month of Sep tember, as shown by the last official returns, wele larger than on any previous occasion, and repre sented, reckoning wheat and flour together, a value of about three millions sterling. The supplies from America must soon diminish from the closing of the Western canals, but it is an important feature of the present season that Prussia appears to be capable of sending us large quantities, since even in the face of • the American competition she consigned to us during September 17 per cent. of our total importa tions. France also seems again to have a surplus, although not of such extent as to cause any im portant quantity to be attracted by our present prices.

(From the Lancet.) If the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital permit the Grand Committee to transplant into the country the insti tution which they administer in trust for the poor of South wark, the job will be effected in open defiance of justice, and in wilful contempt of facts and reason. The medical staff, not negligent of their duty, have again put on record the arguments in favour of maintaining the hospital in a cen tral site. The necessary length of this unanswerable document precludes us from printing it in full. It sums up with convincing force the case of the labouring poor in the Borough. It reminds the Governors that in proportion as St. Thomas's is moved away from the densely inhabited central districts, it must cease to relieve those cases of urgent suffering which are universally recognised as having the first claim for hospital treatment. If the hospital is transported six miles away, what, for ex• ample, is to become of the following class of cases : wounds , fractures, dislocations, burns, scalds, and poisonings; ease : of dangerous continued fever; of strangulated hernia, and other intestinal o b s t ruct i ons ; croup and, other kinds of suf focation ; retention of urine; choleraic attack; honr hage ; apopl ec ti c and epileptic seizure ; acute inflawm a " °a in the chest, head, or abdomen ; misadventure in Pirtl nancy or childbi r th P M ost of such cases must find re lief near the spot, and within a few minutes, or--die. A great general hospital, the Governors ought _ta. know, is an imperative necessity for the enorinous ow l stands. population in whose midst St. Thomas'sh now If the Governors take away that upon whin ared, by popula tionpri- vate has been accustomed to rely, are they pr P .

The Charity Commis sioners, or Parliament itself, may yet find occasion to intervene. - THE FOG.—From an early hour yesterday morn ing a very dense fog has hung over the metropolis, render ing the ordinary street traffic so difficult and dangerous that in many places it had to be almost suspended. The weather, too, was very cold during the night and the streets, especially in the suburbs, were glazed by the frost, to the great distress of the horses engaged in the traffic. The navigation of the river by the steamers was suspended. Several accidents occurred, but we have not heard that any of them were of a serious character. Tho fog in creased in density up to 4 o'clock, when daylight was en tirolY obscured. SPORTING -THIS DAY. LIVERPOOL RACES.—TnIs DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. L5O HANDICAP PLATE. 3 Thirteen ran.

To-day George Buneher, Robert Cummings, William Burnett, Richard Brewer, James Griffiths, and Henry Williams were again placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, charged with being concerned with others in forg ing and uttering certain papers purporting to be Bank of England notes, with which to defraud the governor anc) company of the Rank of England. Mr. Freshft..eld attended to prosecute; Mr. Lewis de fended Brewer. Henry Brown, the approver, was this day re •examined. He vdd—l returned the key I got from Burnett to Brewer. I have seen the key since in the possession of Sergeant Webb (produced). This is the key I got from Burnett, to the best of my belief. I took the whole of the paper from the size-drawing machine while it was at work. I stood at tho end at which the notes came out. I was engaged at the time in effecting some repairs to it. My father and myself attended to wood and Mr. Soper to iron work. The machine is attended to by girls, one at each end, The time I slept at Brewer's was the last time I took some paper, about six weeks after the reward was offered. Burnett and myself went down to Laverstoke together. I l g a o t t t e o r u t oneof t t o h e O t v r e a in n t n a t inthe evening,an d a went nd rr n i v e b d y a a t Laverstoke about 11. I was accompanied a part of the road by a person named William Lichfield. I had a black. bag in my hand quite empty. I was asked by Brewer whether I could find Burnett. 1 said I could, and I after wards went to his mother's house at Plumstead. She first ; declined to give me his address. Mr. Lewis —Were you in the habit of travelling with, a black bag ? Witness—No. I cannot say how many times I have carried the bag. It might be about three times. I met Li tchfield on the road, but he left me before we got to Laverstoke. I have not seen[Licb.field to speak to him since that time. None of the prisoners put any questions to the witness. Arthur Hutchence—l am engineer to Messrs. Portal at Laverstock. It is part of my duty to oil a poirtohnitorfotohme size machine. In Septemb er I reco ll ect being getting it ready to work one morning about 10 ce clock. carry a key belonging to my department, On the morning I am speaking of I was in the act of opening the door with my key when I found a strange key in the lock. That produced by Sergeant Webb is the bne. I carried it to Mr. Lichfield, who is a clerk in th mill. Five is the average time for closing the mill i end after business hours the place is locked up. There h t a oerpenter's yard withir, the mill bounds. That yard'. is closed at half-past five, wad afterwards locked by the person leaving. The carpetter keeps the key of that yard, and it is his duty to lock it up when he goes away. I have seen Brewer let himself into. the mill by the little door after it had been locked up. I have seen him there at six, seven, and as late as half-past; eight. I should say the key produced is the me.ster 'fry, which would admit to all parts of the mill. By Mr. Lewis—l have been at th,o mill about sixteen or seventeen years. I expected Brewer was doing some work for Mr. Portal seeing him going into the mill at such late hours. I never knew that the foreman. was in the habit of lending Brewer his key. Brewer went into the mill , openly. I couldnot see wh a t B rewer did, because h o passed through the little door which led to the north, side of the thil, This would lead to the carpenter's sloop. I recollect about three or four years ago a master key of the mill being lost. The key was missed from a place where Brown and his father had been at work. I cannot say the key produced is the one that was lost. I was not in the constant habit of seeing Brewer at work in the carper.. ter's shop after hours. I never mentioned to anybody the fact that I had seen him in the mill frequently after it was closed because he was a mould maker, and I could not tell what he was doing. I don't ever reco llect seeing Mr. Shelter and Brewer go into the yard together. I have seen Brewer come out of the plf.ce al one. By Mr. Freshfield—When, Brewer passed into the car penter's :yard I could n.Cit see where he Went. There is access to the mill bx a master key from throe portions of the premises. Mr. John Burgess Soper--I am engineer residing at Basingstoke, and have been engaged in business for Mr. Portal at Laverstoke. In 1859-60 I put up the size machine for Mr. Portal, In the year 1861 I was engaged in effect ing certain alterations. A model of the size machine was here produced, which, having been explained, the witness went on to say—There is a spot on the north side of the machine from which paper could be extracted vithout being perceived by the person at work. The work of Henry Brown constantly'took him to that spots (The case was proceeding when we wont to press,) BANE OF ENGLAND.

Nov. 13, 1861 E. ARRIVAL OF A LIVE GORILLA.—By the arrival of the African mail steamer Armenian at Liverpool there has been brought to that port a fine male specimen of the gorilla. He appears quite docile, and amuses himself in dancing round the room at Mr. Newby's, the eminent natu ralist, and attempting to sew pieces of blankets together. His skin is of an olive colour, and, as he is yet very young, only slightly covered with hair. He is remarkably fond of good living, and appears to have an especial relish for beef steak and mutton chops, and fruit. Young Mr. Gorilla is about three feet and a half in height, very broad and thick across the chest, while his arms and legs are long and sinewy, displaying great strength. He has a great habit of putting his feet into any stray boots and shoes which may be lying about, and when he is discovered in his freaks he invariably runs for protection to any lady who may be pre sent. His face, unlike the generally entertained opinion, is not fierce or repulsive-looking, although the jaws are I both broad and heavy. This is the only live specimen of the gorilla, we believe, ever brought to this country. KINGSTON FAIR. —This fair, reckoned to be the largest next to Barnetin the South of England, commenced yesterday. There was an average supply, all the available space being filled, but the trade was decidedly slow. Of cows in full milk there were not many, fetching from 14 guineas to 20 guineas ; a much better supply of small ditto for country dairying and in-calvers, the former from 11 guineas to 13 guineas, the latter from 13 guineas to 15 guineas. In Devon beasts there was a large show, and a great many sold, but prices were not so high as they have been. Shorthorns were a small show. In Welsh cattle there was an average fair—prices not so good as at Black water last Saturday; good Welsh beasts, £6 to £l2 10s.; yearlings, £3 to £4 10s. In bulls a middling trade was done, a clearance not being effected; well-breds, from £7 to;£l4. Barreners, £6 to £ll.

THE ISTHMUS OF CORINTII.—A company has just been formed in Greece for cutting through the Isthmus of Corinth, and thus avoiding the long and dangerous coasting of the shores of the Peloponnesus. From the earliest times the immense advantage of a canal joining the two seas has been adrcitted. Periander was the first to take up the sub ject. After him Alexander the Great, Demetrius Polior cetes, and Julius Ctesar turned their attention to it; and, lastly, Nero commenced the works of which the traces still exist. This latter plan is the one to be now resumed; it seems to present the greatest chances of success, while the execution of it does not appear to demand a considerable outlay. The width of the canal would be 112 feet, and its depth about 20. Its length would not exceed three miles and three quarters. The advantages to navigation to be derived from the cutting of the isthmus are easy to be per. ceived. For vessels on. their way from Marseilles and the Mediterranean to the Piraeus the distance would be shortened by 90 miles. The saving of time to vessels coming from the Adriatic would be still more considerable. CELTIC REMAINS IN NORTHUMBERLAND.—It well-known that the different tribes of Celtic Britain t lived in a continual state of hostility with each o ther, but there is a circumstance apparent in the connectionwould those towns with that on the opposite hill of Ritta, which of indicate an extended combination to resist a neatened as sault or invasion, and if this connection ed to exist in common with other fortiticatwn . that those he supposition there might appear grounds for the and united into settlements may have been one common line of defenceor o t n hern direction; and that, in occupation of Britain in a . streflth extensi extension an°l Of bth t e hc t : reac Roman of the Roman wall erected with a fact, we have on to the great work.. thewi.
