MARKETS -THIS D.A.Y. Paid. Clot4inv_ Price. 67 69 101 t 65 Business don. MARK-LANE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. Good and fine qualities moved off slowly at previous quotations; otherwise, the wheat trade was dull on rather easier terms. Barley, oats, beaus, and peas, as well as flour, were in slow request, yet no material change took place in prices. The continental corn markets continue dull, but at New York the trade for wheat and flour is steady, although the demand for export is by no means extensive. Small supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 44,288 quarters of wheat, 12,482 barley, 30,769 oats, 7,612 beans, 1,808 peas, 2,372 t ares, 17,932 linsee d, 2,380 rape se3d, 1,724 maize, 360 sun d ry seeds, 2,378 sac k s , and 7,105 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morn i ng ' s market the arrivals of home grown wheat were sma ll . G enerally speaking, h owever , the samples w ere o f f a i r qua li ty, and for the most par t th e y came to hand in tolerably dry condition. In consequence of the large quantity of foreign wheat imported last week, the demand, both fur red and white qualities, was in an inactive state; good and fine produce changed hands, at prices about equal to those current on Monday last, but' for inferior parcels, a slight reduction in the quotations was in some few in stances submitted to in order to transact business. The show of samples of foreign cheat on the stands was large. As regards all descriptions, buyers anted with great caution, yet no quotable change took place in prices, com pared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at late currencies. The supply of barley was but moderate. Good and fine malting qualities were decidedly firm as to value ; other wise, the trade was quiet, but without leading to any altera tion in the rates current this day se'nnight. At fully the late decline in prices, a moderate business i was transacted in malt. With oats the market was well supplied, and the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely previous quotations. The supply of beans was very moderate. Even the best descriptions rcet with a slow sale. yet prices were fairly supported. Peas, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly on former terms. The business doing in flour was confined to actual wants, yet most transactions were at last Monday's currency. CURRENCY PAR IMPERIAL MAASURIS.

The show of each kind of foreign stock here to-day was only moderate. There were some good Dutch sheep amongst it; but, generally speaking, the quality of the supply was inferior. Buyers operated cautiously ; nevertheless, prices were supported. With home••fed beasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as to number and quality. The arrival of meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets being extensive, the beef trade was by no means active. However, the bulk of the supply was disposed of, at prices equal to Monday last. The general top price for beef was 5s per 81bs ; but a few very superior Smts and crosses realised a trifle over that quota tion. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, including a few from Norfolk, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers. With sheep the market was scantily supplied, and we observed very little improvement in their quality. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full prices—the top figure being 58 8d per 81bs ; but long-woolled sheep were a slow inquiry, at about last week's currency. The supply of calves was moderate, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at previous quotations. The top price was 48 6d per Blbs. Pigs were a dull inquiry, and rather lower in price.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before ➢Zr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE COOK-A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE. This bankrupt was described as of Size-lane, commis sion agent, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr, Maynard, of Broad-street, said that he was the assignee to the estate, and was appointed by the creditors, although he was not himself a creditor, but he had investi gated the accounts, and believed the bankrupt to be an honest man, his difficulties principally caused from a loss of £4,000, and he had been sued on account of his wife. The bankrupt said that he had been before the court in 1856 under the Arrangement Act, and paid 4s. 6d. in the pound, and obtained his certificate. His Honour sent for the proceedings, but they could no be found. His Honour said, although the bankrupt at first stated so, it was doubtful whether such was the fact. Mr. Brough, on coming into court, said that the case had been called on in his absence, but he appeared for the assignee. His Honour said it was a very singular case that the bankrupt, who appeared to understand the proceedings of the court, should have made such a statement. He (his Honour) would, therefore, pass the examination and ad journ the order of discharge to inquire as to the arrange ment. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

BROTHERS : We received with deep feelings of joy your address of September the Ist, a.c., by which you proclaim yourselves the Polish National Government, under the title of the Polish Central National Committee. We perceive at last in this act of yours the result of the sacrifices and la• bours of more than a quarter of a century, the ripe fruit of the blood profusely shed both on your as well as on our part on the soil of our beloved country. This overt act of yours, under the very bayonets of furious tyranny, in the face of Poland prepared for a conflict, in the face of Europe in revolution—Russia included, who is even now tendering to us her fraternal hand by her liberal minded sons—is a proof of the boldness of the movement at the head of which you have placed yourselves, and the entire responsibility of which rests upon you. We also wel come and acknowledge you as the leaders in the efforts now making to break the fetters of slavery of our beloved mother, Poland, and will consider henceforth every individual or collective attempt on the part of any other persons to set themselves up for the leaders of the country, wherever made beyond your jurisdiction, as criminal, and contrary to the country's and our own wish and will. Forward, brothers; proceed on your onward course, for who has once placed himself in the van on the road to ac tion is not allowed to stop under penalty of destruction. Advance, then, boldly, without looking behind you ; ad vance abreast with the people of Poland, whose heart throbs and hitherto immaculate virtue will inspire and in crease the power and might of the idea which ought to guide you in your onward progress. Listen to public opi nion alone, and you will not deviate from the right path. Offer your hand sincerely and cordially to our fellow men and brethren of the Sclavonic race at large ; impart to them the conviction that in entering into the struggle we will combat, as we always did, for " our and their own freedom and independence." Tender your hands and hearts to those free nations where the people wield the sovereign power. Enter into an alli ance with the European revolution, and scorn all diplo matic temptation ; for inasmuch as the former is our natu ral ally, so is the latter our mortal enemy. Those who put Poland into the grave will never disinter her. Onward, then, without rest or repose, in the name of God, the country, and the freedom of the people, and rest assured that in that course we shall never forsake you. Here follow the signature of Poles residing abroad. Nov. 23, 1862. THE REFRESNTATION OF TOTNES.--The 110Mi nation for this borough takes place to-day (Monday) and the polling on the following day. Mr. Pender's friends are very confident of success, while, on the other hand, Mr. Dent's supporters consider they have a good chance of securing the seat. It is to be hoped that the means used on both sides will be legitimate, as it is well known that there are always certain burgesses in Totnes who prefer to vote for " Mr. Most," that being the term given in another Devonshire borough to the candidates who will give the highest price for votes. One of the large 300-pounder muzzle-loading guns, weighing about 12 tons, arrived at 'Woolwich on Saturday from Elswick, to be forwarded to Shoe buryness for trial against an iron-plated target, sub stantially backed with wood and built expressly for the experiment. Twelve of the same sp ecies of guns are ordered to be manuf ac t ure d —s i x at Elswick, by Sir W. Armstrong, and six at the Royal gun facto ries, Woolwich, by Mr, Anderson, the whole of which will be ready for proof during the present month. These guns, it is stated, are intended for outposts and fortifications. A monster sling-wagon to be used in their removal has been made in the Royal carriage department of the arsenal, and mounted on four wheels of extraordinary breadth and solidity, each wheel being also supplied with a railway break for travelling w ith safety over an incline. A number of Armstrong 40-pounder and 100- pounder wedge guns are in course of manufacture in the Royal gun factories at Wo olwich at present; and at Elswick, Sir Wm. Armstrong is engaged in testing a number of 100-pounder guns in prepara tion for the forthcoming important competition between the two rival m anufacturers, his own and Mr. Whitworth, to take place at Shoeburyness. The Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal have received instructions to attend the trials, and depu tations of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineer officers have been invited to be present. The result of the experiments will, doubtless, go far to decide the relative merits of each gunmaker, and they are, consequently, looked forward to with much inte rest, and are commented upon freely. 44 I 651 61 6 109 f 71} 96i 101/ i 40 1251 i il P FOREIGN MI.

BOW-STREET. Hugh Morris was placzA at the bar, on remand, charged with having caused the death of Edward Leigh. It will be recollected that the deceased and the defendant were partaking of refreshments together at the Somer set Hotel, when they commenced playing with knives which they had been using. Unfortunately, the defendant inflicted a wound in the abdomen of his companion. Surgical aid had to be called in. Leigh lingered for a few days, and then died. A coroner's inquest had since been held, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" had been re turned. Inspector Brimbacombe having informed Mr. Corrie of the result of the coroner's inquest, Mr. Corrie said he could hardly see how such a verdict could be returned. Inspector Brimbacombe informed the magistrate that the surgeon who attended the deceased was not present. Mr. Corrie wished to know the exact cause of death. Mr. Dunn, the surgeon, said inflammation of the bowels, brought on by a wound which he had received. Corrie—lnflammation of the bowels caused by stab bing. He thought it would be his duty to send the defen dant for trial. He could net see how ha could do other wise. Two men in a drunken fit commence playing with knives,'and although the unfortunate man whose death had been brought about by it was as much to blame as the pri soner, yet that did not acquit him of the blame. Under all the circumstances, he should send the case to the ses sions, but he would admit the defendant to bail. The depositions were then made out, and the defendant was fully committ e d t o take his trial for 'manslaughter. Two men named Ayres and Conner were charged with passing counterfeit coin. The first mentioned prisoner went into a shop in Holborn to purchase a necktie, and tendered a half.crown, which was fortunately discovered, be fore he left the shop, to be bad. Ayres was afterwards seen in company with the other prisoner, and shortly after wards Ayres entered the shop of Mr. Hoare in King-street, Holborn, and having asked to be served with some shirt collars, he again tendered half-a-crown. Mr. Hoare saw at once the coin was bad, and told the prisoner so. Conner, who was with him, said it was not, but having slightly bent the coin, Mr. Hoare returned it to Ayres, who left the shop ; but as Mr. Hoare saw them enter a public-house imme diately facing his house, and very shortly after rapidly retreat, therefore he ran across, and he then found they had succeeded in passing the bad half-crown. Ho ran after them, and on coming up with a police-constable he gave both men into custody. Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the coin being a bad one. Mr. Corrie committed both prisoners for trial. WESTMINSTER. OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK UPON A PUBLICAN BY THE MILITARY. —Herbert Pearce, James Lord, and Martin Wallis, three privates of the Grenadier Guards, the for mer wearing a good conduct stripe, and the two first-named with black eyes, were charged as follows : William Stockley, landlord of the Pakenham Arms, Knightsbridge -green, said on Saturday night the defend ants and two other soldiers came into his house, and coming upstairs wanted to enter his concert room. As they were drunk he directed his manager not to admit them, espe cially as he had forbidden two of them to enter the house before complainant told them he could not have them in his concert room, when they began to use very bad lan guage, and forced their way in. They struggled with them and got them out, when Pearce struck complafnant, and another man, who escaped, also struck him. These three then all attacked him, and tried to throw him over the banisters, but he got his 'back against the wall, and fought in self-defence, during which he gave the two soldiers black eyes. Complainant at length sent for the police, when they rushed down stairs, and Wallis and the two others went into the bar and caused damage to the extent of £3 2s. 2d. Samuel Geary, 267 A, said ho was called into the public house, and found a crowd of 400 or 500 persons assembled. Hearing screams of murder inside, he got in after some difficulty, and saw Wallis and the two who have escaped breaking everything they could get at in the bar. He took Wallis into custody, when he struck him several times, and but for assistance he would have been roughly handled, as the mob incited the soldiers to attack the police. The defendants declared that they were assaulted by the landlord and his men. It having been intimated that, Pearce and Lord bore a good character, but that Wallis was very irregular as a soldier, Mr. Paynter said he was sorry to see such men before him. Pearce and Lord, however, seemed to have got the worst of it, and he should only fine them ss. each. As to Wallis, he should fine him the amount of damage, and ss. in addition, or in default commit him for six weeks. They were locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HOUSEBREAKING.—WiIIiam Phillips, a shoemaker, who gave a false address, and Edward Pearse, a labourer, who refused his address, were charged with breaking and enter ing the house of Mr. Joseph Johnston, hosier, 323, Oxford street, and stealing some stockings. From the evidence of Sergeant Mullord, 28 C, it appeared that about 20 minutes past 6 this morning, while passing up Regent-circus, in company with Stevens, 27 C, he heard a smash of glass, and saw the prisoner Pearse run from the door of Mr. Johnston, 323, Oxford-street. He (Mullord) immediately pursued Pearse, thinking that there was some thing wrong, and and after a pursuit through several streets Pearse was stopped by Fairfax, 73 D. Stevens, who had gone up to the house from which Pearse was seen to run, found Phillips hanging by the arms from the frame of the fanlight, the glass of which had been smashed, and took Phillips into custody. On the premises being examined it was found that an entrance had been attempted to be gained by means of breaking a pane of glass in the fanlight to get at the fastening, and that a parcel of stockings had been removed from the place where they had been deposited. Prisoners were remanded. A DETERMINED STREET TRlEF.—George Garvel, a shabby-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to steal a gold watch from the person of Mr. Arthur Fitch, clerk, residing at 13, Ampton-street, Greys-inn-road. Mr. Fitch said he was walking up Regent-street last night at half-past nine, when the prisoner came up to him and made a snatch at his watch-chain and pulled his watch out of his pocket. The prisoner then seized hold of the watch and tried to pull it from the chain, but the chain not breaking, ha let go the watch and then made off, but he pursued him and handed him over to a constable. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said the watch was of the value of 20. A constable said that on searching the prisoner he found 4 duplicates relating to tools. The prisoner said he had no answer to make to the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for trial. THAMES. TEA ROBBERY IN THE LONDON-DOCK.—Robert Allen, " head man" or foreman of a gang of labourers in the Lon don-dock, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing 11 ounces of tea, the property of the London-dock Company. John George, a constable in the service of the London dock Company, stated that on Saturday afternoon, soon after 4 o'clock, he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the dock at the western gate and asked him if he had any tea about him, to which he replied that he had none. He told the prisoner he must search him. The prisoner, who was greatly agitated, immediately said," lam aruined man." He then searched the prisoner, and found in his coat pocket 3 ounces, and in each of his boots 4 ounces of tea, making in all 11 ounces. He asked the prisoner where he obtained the tea, and he said it was given to him. The prisoner had been in the employ of the company 15 years, and was head man in one of the warehouses. That was a situation of trust and responsibility, and the prisoner was allowed to pass in and out of the dock without being searched, and would not have been searched at all if he had not received information of a robbery. Joseph Maddocks, a labourer, stated that he saw the pri soner put his hand into a chest of tea on Saturday after noon, and take out a handful with which he left the ware house. The prisoner, in defence, said that some of the tea was given to him. Mr. Woolrych—You were seen to take the tea out of the chest. t l e a m l s th h a n t n w as myf o n u n h a d r a n o on e m r e f . r T l h s e r y e e a h t a s s . fi is ar o g n sti e nt r ig — ml ee N l o b w as e ver charged with dishonesty. notl T i s h teh beenPe r Mr. Woolrych said it was very unfortunate for the pri soner that in a single moment he had destroyed the good character without which he could not obtain employment again.

PLEASANT FOR CRINOLINE WEARERs .—At the Sunderland Police-court, on Thursday, Patrick M'Garvey, who keeps a beer-house at the low end of the town, in Silver-street, was brought up and fined for keeping a dis orderly house. The officers said they saw a small party of mon leave the house to fight. Inside they found twenty men, most of them drunk and very noisy. In one room, where fiddling and dancing were going on, there were about twenty young girls from sixteen to twenty years of age. In making his defence, Patrick said the girls had no crinolines on, and therefore he " didn't think they were bad lasses I" Newcastle Chronicle.

The Paris paper Le Temps, having opened a subscription on behalf of Rosalie Doise, the late victim of an Imperial Court of Justice, M. Victor Hugo has written the following letter to the editor of that journal:-_ ir,—Have the goodness to put down my name for 100 francs in the subscription Gardin. But we must not confine ourselves to money. Something worse perhaps than the affair of Lesurques, the r e - establishment of torture in France in the 19th century, confession extorted by suffoca tion, the strait waistcoat put on a pregnant woman, the prisoner urged to madness—l know not what frightful legal infanticide—the child murdered by torture in its mother's womb—the conduct of the examining magistrate, of the judges, and two procureurs-generaux—innocence con demned, and when afterwards acknowledged, insulted in open court in the name of that justice which should have fallen on its knees before her—all this is not an affair of No doubt tho subaaiption is well, useful, and praise worthy, but a higher indemnity is called for. Society is more deeply wounded than Rosalie Doise. The outrage to civilisation is profound. In this matter the greatest insult is offered to justice herself. Subscribe—be it so—but it appears to me that the ex keepers of the seals, and ex-leaders of the bar, have some thing more to do, and, as for myself, I have a duty, and I will not shrink from it.—l have, &c., VICTOR HUGO.

Wykeham Martin, the father of the member for Rochester, is spoken of as the candidate in the Liberal interest for the eastern division of the county of Kent, rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Deedes. The Conservatives are already at work to secure the return of Sir Norton Knatchbull. The name of Mr. Beresford Hope, who has estates in the county, has also been mentioned. ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE.-16,091 applications have been received and 14,166 volunteers enrolled :—Of the above 49 possess certificates of competency as masters ; 189 certificates of competency as mates; 19 certificates of ser - vice as masters; 47 certificates of service as mates. The force also includes 2,240 petty officers in the merchant service. Considerable progress has been made in the work of plating the Royal Oak, at Chatham, the whole of the available shipwrights and mechanics not required on the iron frigate Achilles, 50, now working upon her. The last tier of armour plates, which will entirely encase her from stem to stern—rendering her, in fact, a complete mass of floating iron—was affixed to her sides on Friday, and the mechanics have commenced bolting the armour plates to her stern. The theatrical company at Compiegne is very numerous, and its members are as hospitably treated as were at Versailles the comedians-who performed Moliere's plays before Louis Quatorze. They all travelled from Paris in a special train, consisting of first class carriages, no matter whether they were scene shifters, stage carpenters, mutes, or prompters. As they set out at about 3in th afternoon they reached their destination about 4, when a dinner, served on two tables, awaited them in an immense dining-hall. Around one table were placed the etat major of the company, such as the director, stage manager, actors, actresses, author or authors of the pieces they were to act in the course of the evening, and the principal members of the orchestra. The rest dined at the second table. But all were given the same dishes, the same wines, and served with equally fine linen, porcelain, and silver, as well as provided with the same number of attendants. Cigars and coffee were handed round after the cloth was removed in two salons, where, after they had dined, the two sets retired 'or half an hour, at the and of which they proceeded along a seemingly interminable passage to the theatre, where the play appointed for the same evening was rehearsed till half past 7. At half-past 8 the Emperor and Empress made their appearance, which was the signal for the performance to commence. When it was finished the theatrical com pany were again conducted to tho ealle a manger in which they dined, where a champagne supper awaited them. AUSTRIAN GUNNERY EXPERIMENTS.—The Aus trians have been steadily pursuing a systematic course of experiments with gun-cotton, and not only have they per fected this material, so as to use it in field guns, but have also been led to investigate the properties of metals with the view of finding an alloy which would impart hardness to copper, and enable them to obtain a perfect, safe, strong, and durable gun. This they have now effected, and it is said that their gun-metal, by the addition of a small quan tity of iron, has been made very hard, and also exceedingly tough and elastic. One great advantage possessed by this gun-metal is, that it can be recast at small cost it the guns become damaged, or the rifling prove unsatisfactory. The field-pieces have been rifled with grooves, which help to support the projectile in centering upon a rounded bearing. The projectile is of iron only, indeed nothing else would withstand the force of the gun-cotton, which is more in stantaneous in its explosion than gunpowder, and therefore a higher velocity can be obtained with a much shorter gun. The Austrian Government is now about to cast large ord nance, and if the reports given to us be correct, they have certainly hit upon the right metal, as it withstands the blows of shot fired at it much better than any material which we have yet used in England.—Army and Navy Gazette, DR. NELATON'S REFUSAL OF PARLIAMENTARY HONOURS.—The follawing is given by some of the journals as the reply of Dr. Nelaton to a certain number of work men who offered to vote for him as deputy :—" Gentlemen, —I feel much gratified at the step you have taken, but I must confess that it astonishes me as much as it does me honour. Ido not well see how my knowledge of surgery can have made you imagine that I am qualified for the mission with which you wish to invest me, or how I should , have become a political economist, a financier, and a legis lator, because I have discovered the presence of a ball in the foot of a wounded nan. If the object in view were to appoint me surgeon to the Chamber, that would be a diffe rent affair; but the business of a deputy is what I have never learnt in Hippocrates, and for which, to speak frankly, I have no taste. lam even convinced that the affairs of the country would not go on better, and that my patients being neglected would fare the worse. I must, therefore, while thanking you for what you have done, de clare that you propose to me an honour which it is impos sible for me to accept." We very much regret to hear that Sir Henry W. Bruce, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, is so seriously ill as to oblige him to transfer the active part of his duties to Rear-Admiral the lion. George Grey, the Superintendent of the bockyard.— Army and Navy Ga zette. We understand that H.R.H. the Duke of Cam bridge has referred back to the Court of Inquiry upon the Burnaby scandal the report which, as we stated last week, it had laid before him in his capacity as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards. We have already characterised the re port as incomplete and unsatisfactory, b.nd his Royal High ness would appear to share this view, from the fact of his seeking further information upon this very delicate subject. —Army and Navy Gazette.

A letter from Bucharest of the 26th ult., in the Augsburg Gazette, says : " For some days past a considerable move< ' ment has existed among the Consular body, in con sequence of a considerable quantity of arms hav ing been sent from Bessarabia, and accusations have been made personally against Prince Cousa on the subject. The English and Austrian Consuls were the first to move in the matter, and they were told that the affair was only that of 40 vehicles laden with old rusty muskets and other military effects, which had been sent to Bucharest to be repaired, as it could be done there cheaper than elsewhere. No difficulty, however, existed in proving that it was not 40, but from 600 to 700 cartloads which had arrived. A report was c urrent that a M. Bonaki VogoridLs had ordered them on his own account, with a view to projects which he con templated in Bulgaria. That version, however, appeared so incredible, that it made the Russian Consul-General and his colleague of France shrug their shoulders. i ts to Russia, her agents will know how to take measures in order to prevent those arms from falling into the hands of the Polish emigrants, who are collected in different places a l ong the frontier. re Irt -e. ; he big ich lOU 1110 3e- io let re- 06 )re -401 Os i I 2s. 6d 6i 7 5 1 1 20 28.
