. . ZONE Y MARKET ANI) CITY NE WAS% CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have shown rather more activity ; prices, however, have in some instances slightly given way. At the public sales of tea a decline of d. per lb. took place on the inferior qualities. Sugars were in fair request at about late values ; but coffee, rice, and spices have each shown slight symptoms of depression. For fruit there has been a steady demand. At the drug Sales previous prices were realised in most articles. SalPetre was inactive, and tallow dull, P.Y.C. to the end of the year being quoted 595. 6d. to 595. 9 d. per cwt. _ Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with increased animation, and prices advanced -Id. to id. per lb. About 16,000 bales were sold. In Railway Shares the transactions were limited, and quotations tended downwards. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £400,000, is due to-day on the Great Indian Peninsula, New, Railway shares. An active demand for money is still reported in the discount market, and at the Bank of England a fair amount of busines is now transacted. Full rates, consequently, prevail, very few bills being negotiated under the minimum charged at that establishment. The half -yearly meeting of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company took place to-day, Mr. Hamilton in the chair. The gross receipts of thethe half year amounted to £87,606 13s. 3d., a n d expenses to £39,091 Bs. lid., leaving a net pro fit of £48515 4s. 4d., or an increase of £23,424125. 10d. Compared with the corresponding period of 1858. The permanent way and works had been maintained in good condition. The chairman regretted that the progress of the rem aining works had not been as rapid as was expected; but it was still satisfactory as to the probability of a considerable frirther length being Opened during the next year. By the statement of receipts and expenditure it appeared that the ac count with the Government stood as follows : Interest on paid-up capital to June 30, 1859, 4 760,67 9 7s. 5d. ; net revenue of opened lines to I .,„ 1-14° 30 , 1 859, R 181,698 10s. 11d. ;total, £578,980 4°B * 6d . The report was adopted. Continued quietude is apparent in the market fo r Public Securities, owing to the limited opera tions for investment and on speculation, but the i lnar ket has e x hibi te d more fi rmness, Consols haw ing risen t o 95i 96, being an improvement of -} per cent' This movement has created a favourable effect i l 'Pon the o th er departments of the Stock Exchange, il t W hich indic a ti ons o f buoyancy tire also reported.

The following is the text of.the letter addressed by th e G rand Vizier to the Viceroy of Egypt, on the subject of cutting a canal through the Isthmus of Suez "21st Soifer, 1859). "I hav e received and submitted t 01276 the (Bth Sultan Oct., the letter Ithich Your highn ess wro t e t o me i n rep l y to t h at w hi c h I addressed to you by imperial order, and which contains cer tain observations relative to the cutting through the Isthmus o f Suez. Prom the letter of your highness it appears that t he works undertaken by M. de Lesseps were not, strictly 6 N a king, for cu tti ng through the Isthmus, but were simply P w ll/lin tlarY works o f exp l ora ti on, on w hi c h on l y f ore i gners were e mployed. It als o a pp ears th a t on thi s su bj ec t var i ous rema r k s nee and different reports were made, and that it was essary to come to some decision, and to give a definitive rePI Y• I must obse rve t o your hi g h ness, as I have already done, that the question of the canal is not one of those which concern only one province, or some particular admi nistration ; but th a t it i s o f su ffi c i en t i mpor t ance t o b e the by and foreign affairs of all the empire, it requires to be minutely examined and seriously weighed in every aePeet. It belongs, then, naturally to the Sublime Porte to ! xa mine the quest i on. Moreover, the execution of such an fund'rePo rt ant enterp r i se a b so l u t e l y requ i res, accor di ng t o t h e s. mental rules of law, the special authorisation of his Majesty, to wh om th e empire belongs. Every enterprise 0f e - fib t " lB kind, commenced w ith ou t i m p e rial authorisation, only be considered as null ; consequently, all that has the far b een effected with regard to that enterprise is, in eyes of the Sublime Porte, considered as if it had never existed. There is, then, no difficulty in your highness givi ug a reply, based on this principle, which will be, with a doubt, supported by a ll th e P owers w hi c h are th e tfriendS and allies of the S u bli me P or t e. A s your hi g h ness his to firmness of mind an d per f ec t pru d ence mar k e d de litY and d evo t e d ness to the Sultan, you have, by that Per spicacity from which no truth escapes, no doubt under- Stood all the points, even the most minute, of this question ; . and you will join all of us in the defence of the sacred .i.ghts of th e Ottoman empire. This lam led to believe by the is of loyalty which you highness has always given 1 1 1 3 1 this affair and in every other. lam accordingly charged y the Sultan to press on you the necessity of avoiding all the difaculties which may arise from this question by re plying to all the representations or demands which may be addressed to you that the examination and authorisation or non -authorisation of this enterprise belong to the Sublime Puree) and by prevent i ng a ll t h e works which may be brtaken contrary to the rules of law. His Excellency °ll ktar Bey, c h arg e d ' affa i rs of your highness at the Su me Porte, has been nut into Egypt to make verbally ob servations on this subject." i U I\I‘‘,APTAIN n LINTOCK.—We have much pleasure In iliformium our readers that the Board of Trinity College h ave passed grace requisite for proposing to the Uni versity of D u bli n to confer the honorary degree of LL.D. on ~this gallant officer.

SWEEPSTAKES. Odd Fellow 1 hop Merchant Tyre is very little impurity in the common soda used for washing purposes. Mr. Sleigh—Taken in large quantities, it would act in ... iuriously ? Witness—yes; passing down the throat it would be accompanied by a burning sensation. Soda will not dissolve in alcohol or ether, so it could not affect what I found in my analysis. The Solicitor-General—What do you call a large quan tity ? Witness—l think oz. in solution a large quantity. The Solicitor-General—What is your opinion with re spect to the quantity used by the deceased ? Witness—l don't think the quantity usually put into a teapot could produce any very bad effect. Lord Chief Baron—Would it have interfered with your tests ? Witness—No. The other medical gentlemen examined were this morning recalled by the Lord Chief Baron ; and in answer to ques tions gave a similar opinion Mr. Sleigh then rose to address the jury for the prisoner, and said he was fully sensible of the forbearing and con ciliating manner in which the learned gentlemen who appeared on the part of the Crown had conducted the pro secution. The learned Solictor-Gsneral had under taken to prove that the death of the deceased was cuused by poison, and that administered by the prisoner. The jury would have to say whether—each separately and that the whole collectively—they wore so certain that the prisoner at the bar was guilty of the crime attributed to him as to entertain no just or reasonable doubt. He felt confidently that the medical evidence which had been ad duced had been of the most meagre and unsatisfactory na ture imaginable; and he felt, moreover, that there was not a tittle of evidence with regard to the moral circumstances of the case which implicated the prisoner participating in any manner in the death of the unfortunate woman. It was beyond all doubt she was a person of very careless habits—that she went out in all kinds' of weather very shortly after her confmemen ; and it was proved in evi dence by Mrs. Allan that shortly before she was taken ill she had to caution the deceased against putting on wet stockings. Then, again, the circumstances of the prisoner and the deceased were of the most straightened doscrip- lion, and they all knew upon what sort of food such people had to exist—he could hardly say live—upon. The beer that such persons could afford to purchase was generally of the most wretched description, and that which, it was in evidence, had been obtained, he doubted not, was such that either of the gentlemen upon the jury would forbid any of their relatives, espe cially females, partaking. How different would have been the case of the prisoner had he been in the pos session of pecuniary means to procure the attendance of living testimony to refute the theories that had been advanced by the medical evidence, who had disputed many of the authorities he had advanced. For the prisoner, it was unfortunate, because ho felt certain that had he been in moro affluent circumstances, numbers of scientific witnessess might have been obtained to contradict that which had been stated in terms which were remarkable for their similarity. He could not contradict it by books as the law prevented him from using them. The learner gen tleman then proceeded to dwell with much force upon the uncertainties of pathological appearances, and also upon the idosyncracies of the human system, pointing out that that which was wholesome food to one person might prove virulent poison to another. All these things had up to the present moment remained a mystery, and it would be highly dangerous under such circumstances to arrive at a settled conclusion upon a certain point upon which the greatest doubts existed. Then, again, what value could be placed upon the evidence of some of the medical men who had spoken of the post-mortem appearances, when they ad mitted that they had never before attended an examination of a body where death had been occasioned by croton oil or cantharides ? Therefore, their opinions ought to be re ceived with the utmost caution. Great allowance must be made fur the conduct of the prisoner when accused of poi soning the unfortunate woman. All her relatives were embittered against him ; and he did not think there was an innocent person in court who, if suddenly accused of the heinous crime of murder, would not be quite unnerved. He felt certain they would give every fact their most serious consideration, and would conclude his remarks by implor ing the Almighty to lead them to a right conclusion. The learned gentleman's address to the jury occupied two hours and three quarters in its delivery. At five minutes to four the Lord Chief Baron commenced to sum up the evidence to the jury, remarking at the com mencement that it was a case surrounded by great doubt and mystery. The duty of the jury would be to review the whole of the evidence adduced against the prisoner, and to pronounce a true verdict, totally disregarding the effects that would follow. The learned judge then gave an out line of the case, and proceeded to read his notes, comment kg upon them as he went on. The learned judge was still summing up whcn we went to press. NEW C 0 VRT (Before Baron Bramwell.) INTENT TO MURDER. James Turner and Edmund Keefe were indicted for feloniously and unlawfully administering to Honora Turner a large quantity of poison, called sugar of lead, with intent to murder her. The jury found Turner guilty and acquitted Keefe. Sentence of death was recorded against Turner. STABBING A POLICEMAN. John Sylvester was found guilty on an indictment charging him with feloniously wounding, with intent to murder, Walter Soley, a constable in the R division of police. The learned judge sentenced him to 10 years penal servitude. LONDON GAZETTE-(TIIIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, OCT. 28.

SECOND DAY. The trial was resumed this morning by the examina ion of Dr. Barker, one of the physicians of St. Thomas's Hos pital, who said he had heard the whole of the evidence, and he could not account for the death of the deceased by any known disease. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—The pest mortem ap pearances, he should say, had not arisen from natural causes. He did not mean to say they might not arise from natural disease, but such would be quite opposed to his ex perience and professional knowledge. He did not believe a poison could be generated in the system without the in troduction of an irritant from without to produce inflamma tion of the mucus membrane of the stomach. He had formed no opinion with respect to the irritant taken from the stomach of the deceased. Dr. Garrard, physician to University Hospital, said—l have heard all the evidence, and from the symptoms under which the deceased was labouring, the post mortem appear ances, and the acrid matter found in the stomach, in my medical judgment lam unable to explain the death. I can only attribute it to the action of an irritant poison. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l should not arrive at that opinion taking the symptoms singly. In cases of pur pureal fever the whole body is in a poisonous state. Par puroal fever generally sets in within a fortnight or throe weeks from the time of confinement. The deceased had been up four weeks. I never attended a post mortem ex amination where death was occasioned by croton oil. "Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—Taking the whole history of the case, I should have the greatest suspicion that death was caused by an :Irritant poison. After attend ing a post-mortem, and there seeing the appearances de scribed by the witnesses, I should be strengthened in that opinion. lam certainly of opinion that the poisonous sub stance found in the stomach of the deceased could not have been generated in the body while living. Mr. Thomas Clewlow said—l am a shoemaker, residing at Upper Sydonham. I remember the prisoner coming to my shop. I think it was on the 2d of Juno. It was on a Thursday. Ho came to ask for work. I afterwards en gaged him as an out-door hand. He worked for me for about twelve weeks until he was apprehended. He went by the name of Frederick Strange. I used to call him Fred. . John Hicks—l am a carpenter, living at Sydenham, The prisoner lodged at my house. He came on Friday, the 3d of June. He remained at my house until within three weeks of his apprehension, which took place on the 29th of August. I merely know him by the name of Fred. I understood from Mr. Clewlow that his name was Frederick Strange. I knew that he came from Poplar. Police-constable Best-4 apprehended the prisoner at Sydenham on the 29th of August. A reward had been offered for his apprehension. I found him at Mr. Clewlow's. When I said, " Ah, 3lr. Royal, how do you do ?" he seemed agitated, and turned pale. I said, " Don't you know me ?" He said "I do not." I said "Didn't you know me atToplar ?" He answered, "Oh yes, I know you quite well." I had never seen him at Poplar—l had never seen him before to my knowledge. He asked me to go upstairs, and• then he said, "I knew you directly I saw you." I was in private clothes. I said, " Your name is Royal, is it not ?" H e answered "Oh yes, my name is Royal." I said, " With reference to my taking you into custody for poisoning a woman ; I suppose you un derstand that?" He said, "Yes, I understood that as soon ai I saw you." I said, " I suppose since you've been living hero you've been expecting some ono would come after you." He replied, "Yes how could I be any other way ?" I then took him to the police station at Syden ham, and from thence to London. Cross-examined by Mr. Selfe—l did not represent my self as a friend of his, although I wished him to infer such, as I was not sure he was the person I wanted. I have never been to Poplar in my life. The Solicitor• General said that was the case for the prosecution. Mrs.l Stubbs recalled—and in answer to Mr. Sleigh said the deceased was in the habit of putting common washing soda in the tea pot. Mr. Sleigh—How much did she put in? Witness—l don't know, but I know I have been ill after drinking the tea. The Lord Chief Baron—How do you know sho used to put soda into the tea-pnt ? Witness—She told me so during the time I was attending her in her confinement. The Lord Chief Baron—Did you put it in during the time you were with her ? Witness—No. I refused to do so. The Lord Chief Baron—When did you last see the de ceased put the soda into the tea-pot ? Witness—She made the tea the Friday before sho was taken ill. I partook of it, and I beeame very ill. Mr. Sleigh—What sensation did it produce ? Witness—lt gave me a pain in my stomach. Mr. Sleigh—Were you not frightened to drink the tea ? Witness—No. I was not frightened to drink that which I saw another person drinking. Mr. Sleigh—What kind of teapot did she use ? Witness—lt was a common earthenware one. she used Lord Chief Baron—Did you ask her wh y used it ?- Witness—Yes. She said it was to make the tea look strong. The Lord Chief Baron—Did you ever know any other person use it? Witness—No. The Lord Chief Baron—What, not to make hard water soft ? Witness-:-No, not the common soda. I b ave known persons to use the " cabinet" (carbonate) soda, not the common. Dr. Letheby recalled. The Lerd Chief Baron—Dr. Letheby, you have heard what has been just said; does it in any way alter your opinion ? Dr. Letheby—Not in the least. Soda is commonly put into the teapot by those who wish to have apparently a strong cup of tea. The Lord Chief Baron—There is a difference between the two substances ? Witness—yes, one is a bicarbonate, the other a mineral. Share, 20 3 / 4 20 10 100 I Stock Sto. I stock( 100 Stock 20f 20i 100 1 [OO Stock Stock Stock BANKRUPTS.

PROROGATION OF CONVOCATION (THIS DAY). — This morning the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was attended by Dr. Travers Twigs, the Vicar-General of the Province, Mr. Hart Dyke, the Registrar, and several other officials, proceeded to the Jerusalem Chamber, adjacent to Westminster Abbey,for the purpose of proroguing the Con vocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Can terbury. His grace, having taken his seat, directed Mr. Dyke to read the schedule of prorogation, which announced that the sitting of the Convocation would be deferred until Friday, the 16th of December. None of the bishops or re presentatives of the clergy were present dtkring the cere mony, which lasted only a ftw minutes. HOLYHEAD .1141?11OUR. (From the Liverpool Albion, Oct. 24) For many yeizs past we have endeavoured to call public attention to this gigantic delusion, but without producing any effect; and the money of the taxpayers still continues to be employed in tumbling Holyhead mountain into the sea. The late - .XIr. Harbourmaster Askew prophesied before a committee of the House of Commons that it would prove a harbour of destruction ; but he was un heeded. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, however, has now been to Holyhead Harbour, tol visit the Great Eastern. The vessel lay anchored, • we aro told, "in the best position in the harbour." The Prince inspected every part of her, not omit ting the engine and fire rooms, where he discovered the firemen all in their places, with the "fires banked up." Being a man of an inquiring turn of mind, he asked the reason of this apparently unne cessary expenditure of fuel, when he was informed that the vessel was in hourly fear for her life : " If," . said the ship, " a northward gale should set in there is not room for me to swing, and I should have to put to sea." Here is a pretty Harbour of Refuge, which has already cost the tax-paying public nearly a million sterling, and will be of no better use when it has cost a million more. It will be a sad hour for the Great Eastern if the dreaded northwester should overtake her in this exposed situation ; for we fur ther read, that "there are rocks inside the harbour, between which and the breakwater there is no channel ;" and we also know that immediately out side the breakwater lie the sunken rocks named the " Outer Platters." It is to be hoped that the ob servations of the Prince Consort will not be lost upon the Financial Reformers, but that some of them will stir np an independent member, if there be such a person, to inquire how long this expensive folly is to be persisted in. It will also be seen that 6,000 pounds weight of ,gunpowder have been inserted in th e b owe l s of the harmless moun tain, and that the explosion has taken place as one of the attractions of the day. If the explosion had been extended to the breakwater, and the sea re stored to its former natural state, it would be a most satisfactory result for the British shipowner. Since the above observations were penned, there has been a sumptuous dinner given by the Railway Company to the Ministers and ex-Ministers of the Crown. It was hinted by the Railway Company that more money was wanted to complete the har bour. Ministers, of course, implentur veteris Bacchi pinguisque ferince, could do no other than respond to the wants of their entertainers. Accordingly, Sir John Pakingtou, being " out," made all sorts of promises. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, how ever, who is " in," whilst reminding his hosts that " the effect of convivial assemblies was to open the heart and set free the tongue," remained most pro vokingly silent. He was only ready to spend money when voted by Parliament. It is not unlikely that the wary Chancellor had been consulting the baro meter, for next day, we are told, the dreaded north wester burst upon the devoted vessel. The fires were poked, steam was got up, the huge paddles were put in motion, the excursionists were warned off, and the great Leviathan made preparation to seek safety in the tempest-tossed sea. The squalls —for they were mere squalls—passed away, and the danger passed with them. It is, however, some satisfaction to see that this subject is at length attracting the attention of the London press. Nothing would seem better to open the eyes of the public than an accurate statement of the recipients of the moneys charged by Chancellors of the Ex chequer against this Harbour of Refuge. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-;THIS DAY.) THAMES. WIFE DESERTIOI , :.—A poor careworn looking woman named Arm Dyer, who carried two infants (twins) in her arms, came before Mr. Yardley, and stated that she was in great want, and had made application to the relieving officers of Mile-end Old Town for relief, or to be admitted into the workhouse, but her request had been refused, and she was told that she must find her husband, and their sho would be relieved. Mr. Yardley--Where is your husband ? Applicant—l don't know, sir. Mr. Yardley.—Oh yes, you do. Applicant, who sobbed loudly—l really do not know where he is. Ho deserted me about two months ago, and left me with these twins and another child three years old. I am starving, sir, I have tasted only a bit of bread this day, and had no food yesterday, and they won't relieve me, sir. I have sold all my furniture a little at a time, and don't know how to procure another meal or a morsel for my children. Mr. Yardley said if the woman's story was true, she was very much to be pitied, but he did know that men left their families with the connivance of their wives, who, knowing where their husbands were at work, threw themselves on the parishes in which they lived for relief, to the manifest injury of the ratepayers. It was right that parish officers should investigate such cases with great care, and prevent imposition as much as possible. He thought the woman had given all the information in her power to the relieving officer, she and her children would have been taken into the house. The applicant said she was desirous of giving every in formation. Her husband formerly worked for Mr. Jones, of Rate Mr-cross, and he stole his work, and abandoned her and her family. Mr. Yardley said that a communication should be for warded to Mr. Teaborne, the relieving officer of Mile-end Old-town, to inquire about the case, and ho had no doubt whateAcr that the poor woman and her children would be taken into the workhouse and maintained there until her husband could be found. Tho applicant then put in a letter from Mr. Wilson, an extensive boot and shoe manufacturer in the Whitechapel road, describing the woman's husband, who formerly worked for Mr. Wilson, as a most worthless fellow, and speaking in the highest terms of the wife. MIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was rather scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, both old and new, and the general quality of the sample was rather inferior. Prime wheats were disposed of at Monday's currency : but other kinds met a dull in quiry on former terms. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. The demand ruled very inactive, nevertheless importers were firm, and prices were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request. The barley trade was firm at fully Monday's currency. The transactions in malt were only moderate, yet fine parcels were held at very full currencies. We had a steady consumptive demand for oats at extreme Quotations. _ _ Both beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates ; but the flour trade was tolerably firm.
