MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS, YESTERDAY. The following rums have been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of New Granada Dividend Funds, viz.:—Santa Marta, £305 7s. 7d. ; Rio Hacha, £506; Sabanilla. £491 9s. 9d.; Carta gena, £285 17s. 6d. ; total, £1,588 14s. 10d. The intelligence from New Granada is of a favour able character for the government. Mosquera, at the head of 5,500 men, had taken Popayan, and had been received with enthusiasm by the people. He placed his chief officer, Lopez, with 2,500 e men, be tween the two leaders of the Church party, Arbo leda and Enao, and so prevented the junction of the forces of the latter. The latest advices from Bagota state that information had reached there of Lopez having thoroughly routed the opposite party under Caballero, and of Mosquera having vanquished Arboleda. If this is true it may be hoped that the civil war in New Granada has at length been brought to a close. The old Venezuela Bonds were firmer this after noon, at 29/ to 30, owing to the publication of the following notice by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., from which it will be seen that the new Vene zuelan Loan is fully ratified and its conditions com plied with : _ _ "Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., having intelligence that the conditions of the recent loan for the government of Venezuela are complied with, will receive the instalment of 18 per cent., less 3 per cent, interest, on the subscriptions to that loan, on Nov. 8, and the subsequent instalments according to the prospectus. They also give notice that they will be prepared to pay on Nov. 3, or any day after, the cou pons due on July 1, 1862, on the Venezuela 3 per Cent., and 11 per Cent. Bonds, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the former, and 1 per cent. on the latter, according to the arrangement accepted by the bondholders at a meeting held at the London Tavern on Jule 20, 1862. Notice will be given relative to the conversion of the coupons due of and from July 1, 1860, to Jan. 1, 1862, on the Venezuela 3 per Cent. and 11 Bonds.—London, Oct. 30, 1862." CITY NEWS---THIS DAIL CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The mercantile community having obtained more accommodation than they actually requited, in anticipation of the measure adopted by the Bank court, the immediate demand for money is incon siderable, and the discount market, which was so animated on Wednesday last, is now completely inactive. An easier feeling already prevails, and although very few transactions have taken place money is obtainable, on first class securities, at least 4 1 per cent. under the new rate. Unless the specie movement should become still more unfavourable, it is not at all improbable that even greater facilities will be offered by the banks and discount firms, who have abundant supplies at their command with very little prospect of a full employment for them in the negotiation of commercial bills. Important changes are exhibited in the Bank of England return for the week ending Wednesday last, and they fully justify the measure adopted by the directors yesterday afternoon. It now appears that the pressure for accommodation must have been unusually severe, and that the decline in the bullion has made further progress. Subjoined are the par ticulars.

During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea has fully supported previous quota tions. In sugars the operations have been limited, and prices have slightly given way. Coffee at public sale brought full rates, while rice, fruit, and Epic °,9 were in several instances at slightly reduced quotations. The tallow market has continued dull, and prices have tended downwards. Two o'CLocK. Owing to some speculative purchases, an im provement has taken place in the Market for the English Funds, Consols now being 931 8 for money and the 6th proximo, and 93d t for the December settlement. Altogether a better feeling prevails, and the transactions have been rather more nume rous. A favourable effect has also been produced by the arrival of higher prices from the Paris Bourse.

Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, urged that, by the 22d section of the 10 Geo. IV., cap. 56, plaintiff was out of court. Ha had sued the defendant in his individual capa city, instead of which defendant ought to have been sued in his representative character. His Honour—Yes, that would be so, Mr. Rigby: You see that the present form of action gives you a right to the defendant's goods, whereas he is only a trustee to thesociety employing the plaintiff.

The Court adjourned last night on the close of the case for the prosecution. A report of the proceedings in the latter part of the day appears in another column. Mr. R.ibton this morning opened the case for the defence in one of the most brilliant and effective speeches which has for many years past been heard within the walls of the Old Bailey since the days of Adolphus, Phillips, and Wilkins. He said he never, since the Road murder, remembered a case surrounded by so many intricacies. He could not say he was entirely divested of some confidence in himself in the matter, for through the indulgence of the Lord Chief Baron he had had an opportttufity of carefully reading through the evidence during the night, and he felt he should be able to put the matter before the jury in a more condensed form than would otherwise have been the case. The learned counsel said he would indicate to the jury the course he intended to take. First, he would ask them whether they thought the possibility of this being a suicide could be completely ex cluded. If in their judgments they answered that question in the affirmative, then no doubt they must come to the con clusion that a murder had been committed. In that case he should direct their attention to the evidence laid before them on the part of the prosecution as it affects the man, and when he had done that he should take the liberty of directing their attention to the facts as proved in the case, and ask them how they affected the woman. The learned gentleman then proceeded, steadily adhering to his plan, carefully and rigidly to examine the evidence in all its bearings. N'OttElliP4 Antwerp . Lotteruain.

PLATE ROIiEERY.—Ann Bartlett, a female who refused her address, and said she was of no occupation, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of silver spoons of the value of £lO, the property of Dr. Frederick Weber, 44, Green-street, Grosvenor-square. Ellen Downer, cook to Dr. Weber, said that while at dinner, the previous day, hearing a rattling noise in the pantry—the noise resembling that of plate being disturbed —she went to that place, and saw the prisoner with a basket (similar to those used by hawkers) in her possession, and on examining it found deposited therein a quantity of plate, principally consisting of table spoons, of the value of about £lO, the property of her master, Dr. Weber. The prisoner said she had nothing to eat, and did not intend to take it away. Richard Kent, 191 C, said he took the prisoner into cus tody, and on her being searched, half-a-crown, a shilling, and some half-pence were found on her. Mr. Knox said it was a very daring robbery, and he should remand the prisoner. DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN.—TWO gentlemanly-looking young men, named Christopher Jackson and Thomas Argyll, the former of whom gave the address 9, Cirencester place, and the latter, 11, Argyll-square, were charged with being drunk and disorderly, in Piccadilly, and annoying persons returning from the Exhibition. Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, proved seeing the defendants yes terday in Piccadilly, drunk and pushing against persons who were on their return from the Exhibition. Some of the persons complained of the defendants' conduct, and he (Horsey) then requested them to go along quietly. This they refused to do, and he then took them into custody. The ore who gave the name of Argyll was very turbulent. Argyll said he did not see any just cause why his friend should be taken into custody, and said if he was locked up he would be locked up too. Mr, Knox—l do not wish to talk to you in the tone of a clergyman or moralist, but do you think it right that young gentlemen like you should be drunk about the streets. You ought, from your position, to set a good example to others, I say, and I am sure every right-thinking person will agree with me, that gentlemen who do these things are dis gracing themselves. Ido not, in a case like the present, mean to send you to prison, but let me tell you that under the Police Act the magistrate has the power, if gentlemen will get drunk, of sending them to prison for seven days. Now pay 40s. each and go about your business. SOUTHWARK. NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRUNKEN MAN AT A RAIL WAY STATION.---James Swan, a tall respectable-looking man, described as an engineer, residing at Deptford, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burcham, charged with being drunk and incapable on the line of the North Kent Rail way, London-bridge station. Mr. Burlock, one of the company's inspectors, said that last evening the prisoner came to the Greenwich termini and wanted to proceed by that line, but he was in that drunken state that he was ejected from the office and ordered away. A little while after that witness was at the end of the Mid. Kent platform, adjoining the Greenwich line, when he saw the prisoner rushing across the line, roll ing about, just as a train was approaching. His toe caught one of the rails and he fell heavily across, and had not wit ness and a ticket collector rushed to his assistance, he must have been cut to pieces by the approaching train, as they had hardly time to pull him away. Finding that he was drunk, they dragged him on the platform, and examined him, but fortunately he was not much hurt. The station •master, however, ordered him into custody, con sidering that he ought to receive some punishment as a caution to him for the future. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was an engineer, and resided with his wife and family at Deptford. Yesterday he had been to the Great Exhibition, and after they came out he unfortunately had too much to drink. He had no recollection of what took place at the railway station, but he regretted it very much, and expressed his thanks to the company's officers for saving his life. Mr. Burlock here said that the company had no wish to press for any heavy punishment. All they required was that he should receive such as to caution him and others for the future. Mr. Burcham accordingly fined the prisoner 55., telling him he had had a very narrow escape of his life. THAMES. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — CONVICTION OF TWO DESPE RATE THIEVES.—Wm. Tizzard, caLing himself a lighter man, aged 22, and Michael Dacey, labourer, 26, were brought before Mr. S e lf e on remand, charged w i t h stealing a silver watch and gold chain from the person of a seaman in Ratcliff-highway. The robbery was committed on the evening of the 21st of October. A foreigner, named Frederick Ains, a ship's carpenter, who has lately been paid off from her Majesty's service, saw the prisoners and two other men attack a sea man, who was intoxicated. They hustled him and threw him down, and while he was on the ground quite helpless they robbed him of his watch and chain and fled. The four thieves stopped at the corner of Angel-gardens, Shadwell,.. and were handin g th e watch to each other and examining it when Ains rai se d an alarm and called out " Stop th em . ' The thieves ran away and three of them escaped. Dacey was stopped whil e running by James Strou d , a police constable, No. 147, H , and he had .a desperate strugg le with him befo re h e secured him. Tizzard was ta k en a few nights afterwards. B o th prisoners had been re manded to give an opp or t un it y for the man who had lost hi s wa t c h to attend. It was now stated that he had gone t o sea , an d would not retu rn f or several months. William Walk er , a po li ce constable, No. 488 K, stated that Tizzard was tried an d committed a t the Clerkenwell Sessions in Sept em b er, 1857, of a ser i ous felony, and sentenced to 4 years' penal servitude. Since the prisoner had been at large he had been summarily convicted and sen tenced to 6 m on th s 'ii mprisonment and hard la b our, f or steal ing a watch, and had also been tried and acquitted on a charge of steali ng another watch. Robert Di s l ey , a policeman, said Dacey had b een con victed for st ea li ng a basket of linen, and sentenced to 18 months' imp r i sonment and hard labour, and had been also summarily convicted and se n t ence d t o th re e months' im prisonment. Robert Smith, a detective constable of the K division, said both prisoners were defperate and active thieves, and belonged to a notorious gang of highway robbers. The prisoners said they were as innocent as babes unborn. Mr. Selfe said that was the common cant of professional thieves, which he knew the prisoners to be. He had no doubt whatever the prisoners had committed one of those highway robberies which had been so numerous in the district. Many thieves concerned in them had been sen•. tenced to four, five, and ten years' penal servitude, and he should have committed the prisoners for trial if the prose cutor had not gone to sea. He should act on the evidence before him, and sentence the prisoners to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months as rogues and vagabonds, going about with intent to commit felony. AN ESTIMATE OF GARIBALDI.—There have been evidences of Garibaldi's defect of reason from month to month since he enabled the kingdom of Italy to be. Of his moral quality there is no doubt whatever among men capable of an opinion. Of his utter unsusceptibility of rea son there is also no doubt. The homage of human hearts may naturally seem to him to invest him with authority over human minds; or at least it may prevent his suspecting his weakness of judgment in affairs which interest him supremely through his highest virtues. Untrained as we are in reason, moral and political, because the one involves theological and the other historical controversies, some of us have been drawn into serious mistakes by our enthusiasm for Garibaldi : and these mistakes are exactly such as might warrant the inquiry, whether we have really improved since the days when men flew at one another's throats, or cele brated senseless triumphs about some political controversy which, in the eyes of sensible people, admitted of no contro versy' in opposition to the at all. Whatever may have been the inducement, : Garibaldi has attemp t e d civil war . He has attempted to takehii siKing g f a il ure,t ah a nd a d t i h r ieetc Constitution.t direction of fermnationalpermissible ble u a tno ff d a ce i affairs, him, to ministerr the circumstances of to his wants, to take for granted his personal safety ina way which would go far to secure it from his own Government. So far good. But enthusiasm has led too many of us fur ther. It has led us to make light of the crime, because the adventurer himself has not reason enough to see that he has dot' .e ill and not well.—Once a Week. HORRIBLE DEATH BY MAciiiNEßT.—Yesterday a fatal accident happened to Henry Grealey, aged 18, who resided in the Southwark Bridge-road. The deceased was at work at some steam mills in the neighbourhood, and whilst in the act of putting down a plank to a circular saw he slipped, and his head coming in contact with it was completely divided. The machinery was stopped as soon as possible, and the sufferer extricated. He was conveyed to fauy's Hospital, but be was dead before his adrailsion, A 74 7 4 1 k 11 L 1 1k 7 6 1f l P . 214 t2i 14i 14f Br r 9k 20 21 40& 41i id 9 LU 465 475 41 43 18 1811 17 19 i I 91 91 9/ 101 1I 11pm 41 41p 31 t 5 21 11 d 7 7i 10 1 1 lof 21 22 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECU k.;an.Gov. 6 p.c.Ja &July 1877-84 1)o. 6 p. c.

Stephen Keife, a blind itinerant musician, was charged with killing and slaying his wife, Ann Keife, at their resi dence in Rose-court, Bishopsgate-street. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Bosley, instructed by the Corporation of the City, pro secuted, and the prisoner elected to defend himself. The circumstances of this case have been very fully before the public in the proceedings before the Deputy Coroner, Mr. Payne, jun., and the examination of the prisoner at the Mansion House. The prisoner was in the habit of going about the streets performing on the bagpipes and fre quenting publichouses, and when in drink was of a most violent and brutal temper, frequently striking his wife with the stick which he used in walking the streets, and kicking her; and at the time of the assault upon the deceased which led to her death, he had knocked her down and Ecked her, when she prematurely gave birth to a dead child, and her self expired the following day. On a post mortem examina tion of the body, internal ruptures were found which, in the opinion of the medical gentlemen, were caused by blows or kicks. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Recorder, in very severe terms, commented on the prisoner's brutality, and sentenced him to penal ser vitude for 15 years. YHE ACCIDEN7 AND _LOSS OF LIVES IN 7 OOLET-STREET. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. This (Friday) forenoon, at 11 o'clock, Mr. Sergeant Payne, coroner for London and Southwark, and a highly respectable jury, assembled in the Vestry Hall of St. John's Church, Fair-street, Horslydown, for the purpose of in quiring into the circumstances attending the respective deaths of Henry Harton and Thomas Howard, who were killed on Wednesday night by the fall of the arches of some vaults at Cotton's, and depot wharf, the site of the late fire in Tooley-street, where Mr. Braidwood, the late superin tendent of the fire brigade, lost his life on the 2d of June last year. The enquiry, as might be expected, created a painful de gree of interest, and a great many persons connected with the building trade attended and watched the proceedings. The jury having:been sworn, they proceeded to view the bodies and also the ruins, and when they returned to the court the following evidence was adduced : Mr. W. Snooke, architect and surveyor to Messrs. Sco veil, and also Mr. Henry Stock, his partner, of 6, Duke street, London-bridge. before the proceedings commenced, stated that they attended professionally to watch the case. Wm. Luke, jun.;John-street, St. Olive's, said—He knew Thos. Howard, one of the deceased. He was 27 years old, and had been lodging in Curtain-road. He knew that he had been working at the wharf, and so had witness. He knew that the arches had fallen. Mary Harton, of 36, Snow-fields, said— One of the de ceased was her husband, and aged 29. He was working at the wharf. He was a carpenter. The other man was an excavator. By the Coroner—She had heard her husband say before the accident that he thought it would have taken place be fore, as the arches had given way. The Coroner—Did he say why ? Witness—Yes, because the arches had been struck too soon, and before they had got the work sufficiently set. By order of his employers he had stopped away two or three days, and was sent for to go to work on the arches on Tues day last, and when he came home at night he said that he thought the arch would have given way that day. By the Coroner—Mr. Oliver gave him instructions to strike the arches. . By Mr. Snooke—She never heard her husband say any thing about the driving of the piles having endangered the arches. He told her the other persons had said that the materials were not fit for the work. By a Juror—He said that one part of the arch had given way a fortnight before. Mr. Charles 'White, of Tooley-street, surgeon, said that he was called to the scene of the accident, ar.d was there some time before the bodies were found—when extricated both persons were dead, and they died from suffocation, and although the weight upon them was immense they were not much bruised. Jeremiah Sullivan said that he had been employed at Scovel's wharf in making mortar and carrying bricks to the bricklayers. He was at work under the arches when the accident occurred. Several arches had been made underground. The inquiry WAS proceeding when we went to press. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING —(THIS DAY). The ordinary meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held to-day at the London Tavern. Mr. Craw ford, M.P.. presided. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had but few observations to offer as supplemental to the report. It had been his habit, on occasions such as the present, to detail how their works were going on, but as far as the Bengal portion of the works was con cerned its construction was completed. They had no ad vices as to when the line would be open for public traf fic, but he perceived that the Governor-General was to be at Calcutta on the 15t12' of November, and it was expected that on that day the line would be open from Cal cutta to Patna, and by about January next their works would be open to Benares, which was about 100 miles short of Allahabad. The capital of the company would be quite sufficient to carry out the works ; but if they were called upon to double their line, then, of course, more money would be required, but the directors would be slow to carry out such an arrangement without it was clearly shown it was for the advantage of the company. With respect to their steam flotilla it was proposed to sell the whole fleet by auction, and the character of the vessels would be certain to ensure good prices. A PROPRIETOR asked whether the amount due from the Government for the conveyance of troops had been ar ranged ? The CHAIRMAN answered in the affirmative, and alsr, said it had been paid in, The report was adopted. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA RA IL WAY.

DUBLIN, OCT. 30. The Enniskillen, Bundoran, and Sligo Railway Company had its half-yearly meeting yesterday in this city, Mr. Conelly, M.P., in the chair. The chairman stated that their greatest difficulties had been nearly overcome—namely, getting possession of the land, and putting their plant on the line. At the commission yesterday 12 pauper girls were tried for maliciously setting fire to the South Dublin Union workhouse. It appeared from the evidence that on August 22, between 7 and 8 o'clock, all the prisoners indicted, and four other girls, were locked up in the probationary ward of the work house because they were refractory and unruly. The ward was quite safe and free from fire when the prisoners were locked up. At 11 o'clock the alarm of fire was given, and when the officers of the union and some Inmates went to the spot they found that a part of the ceiling of the ward had been broken down, and a quautity of straw had been placed between the rafters. The floor over the ward was on:fire. Several of the beds had been removed from their places and burnt. It was im possible to believe that the fire was accidental. All the prisoners got out through a window into the yard. Two of the prisoners had pleaded guilty. The jury not being able to agree, they were locked up till a late hour. Ultimately they found the prisoners guilty, recommending them to mercy on account of their youth. A farmer named Donohoe, who resided near Tallow, in the Queen's County, put an end to his life in a very singular manner last Saturday. He was discovered in a lifeless state, with a portion of his body forced into a gully, a short distance from his dwelling, with his hands behind his back, and in such a position as to leave no doubt whatever of his having committed self-destruction. A decree had been recently given against him for a sum of money due by a person for whom he was surety, and this is supposed to have prayed on his mind and produced insanity. MARKETS-THIS DAY.

The supply of oats was very moderate, and the trade ruled firm at fully Monday's currency. For beans the inquiry was far from active, at the late decline in their value. Peas ruled steady at late rates. The supply on offer was small. Most kinds of flour were in fair average request at pre vious quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

LO, 895,050 TEE SWEA7ING SYSTEM. 1 Yesterday morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquest at the Lamb Tavern, Dorset -street, Commercial road3 East, Ratcliff, touching the death of Mary Ann Pickering, aged 12 months. Ann Pickering, a poor woman, of No. 15, School-hoase.lane, Ratcliff, deposed that the deceased was her daughter. She was a sempstress, and obtained a scanty livelihood by making flannel shirts for a large City firm, for which she was paid 3d. each, and had to find needles and thread. Witness had five children, and had been deserted by her husband about two years. He vvas lazy fellow, and w i s h e d h er to work and keep him in idleness. Sh e h a d su ff ered great pri vation, and they all slept in one small room. On Friday last deceased, who had been ailing and speaffinesrinign the stomach, the diarrhoea, had excr uc i a ti ng etomach, and witness sent for tho doctor, but lie gave no hopes of her. He thought the deceased had been starved, and shortly after he left gleceascd suddenly fell and expired. She believed that the deceased required better nourish merit than she could afford to give her. Witness e'antinued, crying, and said, "I would rather suffer anything than trouble the authorities of the work house. If I and my child work all day and great part of the night we can earn 9d. for three shirts. The price is very small for so much labour. I have them from a woman who gets a trifle profit out of them, and she gets them from Messrs. Moses a n d Sons. I have never earned more than Cs. i a 2s w . week, with my little girl's assistance, which s all th e money we have to live upon. I have paid of that for rent. Mary White, the landlady, w as examined, and said that the mother of the child was an industrious woman. She had been a book folder, and was of respectable parents, but since her husband had left her she had taken to shirt making. She believed that the poor woman and her children had suffered great distress. Mr. Hawkins, of Ratcliff, said that he was called to see the deceased, who was suffering from weakness and general debility. There was blood passing from the body, showing that the deceased was labouring under ulceration of the bowels. He prescribed for few we r hours ffering afterwards.from. Severalthe d e c e a o s e f d t , h w e h o o tehxepri childrenexpired i na the small-pox, and no doubt would die very soon. The room where the family lived was small and un wholesome. The house was badly drained and unfit for habitation, The Deputy Coroner remarked on the painful nature of the case, and, after giving her some cash out of his own pocket, advised her to seek parish assistance, and the guardians would find her husband, and punish him for his cruel con duct. He was quite sure that she could not subsist upon the paltry money she received for making the shirts, and he hoped that she would at once go to the relieving officer of the parish, and make known to him the facts of her case. The jury at once con curred in the opinion of the learned deputy coroner, and returned a verdict to the effect—. That the deceased died from ulceration of the bowels, brought on by want of the common necessaries of life." IMPORTAN7 TO PRINTERS. A. case of considerable interest was tried. on Mon-. day last, at the Westminster County Court, before Francis Bayley, Esq., judge. Plaintiffs, Messrs. Tomlinson and Bunting, stationers, 60, High-street, Bloomsbury. Defendants, Messrs. Diprose and Bateman, printers, Clement's-court and Portugal street, Lincoln's-inn. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in structedby Mr. Jonas Walpole, of Bury St. Edmunds, appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. H. T. Cole, instructed by Mr. James Price, of 12, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet -street, for the defendants, This action was brought to rec..ver £5O damages for an alleged breach of contract in not putting up, in " good working order," a second-hand printing machine, which had been sold by the defendants to the plain tiffs. kr. Bunting produced the defendants' in voice, of which the following is a copy :—" A double super royal machine, by Donaldson, of Newcastle, with fly-wheel, l a yi ng - on b oar d , and 13 rollers, &c., complete, to be deliv ere d f or £ 49 i n good working order ;" and swore to the whole of it being on the invoice when they received it from the defendants. This was denied by one of the defendants (Mr. Diprose) and another witness, who distinctly s wore that the words i o in good working order," were not on the invoice at the time they handed it over to the plaintiffs. Mr. Cole made a very able speech to the learned judge, and called a g rea t many wit nesses on behalf f the defendants. After which Mr. Tindal Atkinson made a powerful appeal to the Court on behalf of the plaintiffs, and directed the at tention of his Honour to the serious position his clients would be in if a verdict was given against them ; at the conclusion of which his Honour im mediately gave his judgment in favour of the defen dants, and said he was of opinion that the addition in good working order" had been made to the invoice after it was signed and handed over by the defendant. He further said that if he believed the words " in good working order " were there at the time (which he did not) he was of opinion that the defendants had performed their part of the con tract. Full costs were awarded to the defendants. The case occupied the Court nearly six hours, and there was a large number of the trade present. " THE LONDON," FLEET-STREET. Johnson and Boswell were both agreed in preferring Fleet -street to Greenwich, They had no relish for the beauties of nature, but were bettor pleased with the busy bum of men. Fleet-street was, in their estimation, the most cheerful scene in the world. Had the worthy lexi cographer and biographer lived in these days, we might not have been surprised at their holding such opinions. In times not ♦ery remote, Fleet-street (which derived its name from a streamlet called the Fleet, " widely known from the Ditch") was not very remarkable for cleanliness, and its neighbouring thoroughfare, Chancery (formerly Chancel lor's) lane, although immortalised by Pope, " Long Chancery Lane, retentive rolls the sound," was, according to Strype, " foul and miry," In no part of London has there been, however, an improvement so marked. Had Johnson lived in the year 1860 the magnifi cent building which now unites Fleet -street with Chancery lane, and which, as the home of metropolitan culinary, is not unaptly designated " The London," might well have reconciled him to the locality. Externally the building has all the appearance of a stately palace, which would bear comparison with some of the recently erected edifices which t h e genius of the Third Napoleon has caused to arise in the noble thoroughfares of Paris, while in the interior wo have everything for the eye and the palate that good taste and skill could suggest. Here, indeed, the epicure may find his every wish anticipated. In order to get a good dinner it is no longer a necessity that the visitor to London should leave the metropolis and repair to the suburban h o t e l s o f G reenw i ch, Blackwell, or R ic h mon d .

The wines, too, are such as to satisfy the most dainty connoisseur ; Mr. Saw yer, the proprietor, being in connection with some of the best firms at Bordeaux, Rheims, Rudesheim on the Rhine, Cadiz, &c, ensuring a direct supply of the very best quality, which thus escape the deleterious practice of being doctored for the English consumer. This establishment has also ob tained a well-deserved reputation for the excellence of its fish, which is procured direct on its arrival at Billingsgate. Indeed many residents in London, who observe days of abstinence from meat, avail themselves of the facilities afforded here sor obtaining first-class fish dinners. In fine, "The London" may be pronounced the best house of the kind in the metropolis, and no one arriving in Londoti should depart without paying it a visit. BANE OF ENGLAND.
