In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets m d ore activity h as prevailed during the last few dl, r$ and in some instances improved prices have baen current for several of the principal staples. Tea continued at steady rates, and a small arrival of the new season's crop has realised full rates. Sugars have been in fair request, the finer descrip tions selling readily at fully late quotations. Coffee, however, continued dull. For rice and spices there is a moderate inquiry; and the demand for fruit is good, currants, raisins, &c., being in request. The public sales of indigo were brought to a ter mination yesterday, prices having been well main tained throughout the series. Saltpetre and tallow have been in steady demand, the latter being quoted 595. 6d. to 595. 9d. per cwt. on the spot. About £16,000 in gold was withdrawn from the. Bank of England yesterday for the Continent. The bar silver brought by the last West India steamer has been sold at ss. dd. per oz. standard, being the same price as that realised for the pre vious supply. To -day a call of £2 per share, or £lll,llO, is due on the Bombay and Baroda Railway (B) shares. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday rather more business was transacted, and previous rates Were supported. The sales were 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market continued very dull, and prices exhibited a further decline. The half -yearly report of the Great Indian Pe ninsula Railway Company has been issued prior to the meeting on the 28th inst. The gross receipts from traffic amounted to £87,606 13s. 3d., and the total expenditure to £39,091 Bs. 11d., leaving an available profit of £48,515 4s. 4d.

A DOMESTIC TYRANT.--John Fowler, a tall, determined looking man, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with beating his wife Maria, a little care-worn looking woman. The complainant waited upon Mr. Self° yesterday after noon, and said she had been grievously assaulted by her husband, and was in danger of her life. The magistrate, on hearing that she had been wounded, ordered that her hus band should be taken into custody without the formality of a warrant, and he was arrested this morning. The com plainant now stated that she lived with her husband, who was a hammerman, at No. 1), Brickhill-terrace, Crisp street, Poplar. He left home at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, and did not return until four in the afternoon, three hours after dinner time. He said, "Did you not think I was lost ?" To which she replied that she did not think anything about it, and, being very unwell, laid down on her bed, but not before she had placed her hus band's dinner before him. Directly afterwards, he rose from his seat in a great passion, and dragged her off the bed by the hair of her head. He said to her, " What do you mean by this ?—you have got the sulks upon you ;" and used very bad language. He struck her with his fist, and threw a pepper-box at her. Ho then took up a knife and made a blow at her, and in parrying the blow her hand was severely cut. She was about to leave the room when her husband threw a fork at her, and said he would kill her. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the witness said her husband had often beaten her. She left him in March, 1858, in consequence of his bad treatment, but owing to his fair promises was induced to return to him. She had no children by her present husband, but she had children by her first husband, Emma Andrews, landlady of the house in which the par • ties have been lodging, confirmed the statement of Mrs. Fowler, and said that her hand was bleeding profusely when she escaped from her husband. The prisoner, in defence, said he was three parts tipsy on Sunday, and had a word or two with his wife, and pulled her off the bed. Mr. Selfe—Yes, by the hair of the head. You are a great brute, and have behaved very ill to that woman. I sentence you to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. NEWMARKET DACES-(THIS DAY.) [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.

Finzil's son, DEATH OF AN EMINENT BRISTOL MERCITANT.— A telegram was received in Bristol on Saturday, announc ing the somewhat sudden death, at Baden-Baden, of Mr. Conrad W. Finzil, the head of the well-known and exten sive sugar refinery firm at Bristol. The event was wholly unexpected, as the family had received letters from Mr. Finzil only a few days previously announcing his inten tion of shortly returning to England. Mr. Finzil was the architect of his own fortune, having risen from the ranks of journeyman to the eminent position he had occupied long previous to his death. He was of German extraction, and, by several impor tant improvements in sugar refining, protected by patents, had amassed a princely fortune. Perhaps no man dispensed a larger amount anonymously in charity. The asylums at Bristol, at which about 1,000 orphans are fed, clothed, housed, and educated without any public appeal in their behalf, and which, perhaps, arc the most remarkable institutions of the kind in existence, partook to a great ex tent of Mr. Finzil's large-hearted but unobtrusive benevo lence. The hospitals of the city, the restoration of the noble church of St. Mary Redcliff, and in all cases really deserv ing, were liberally assisted by Mr. Finzil.

On Sunday night and on Saturday night there was a severe frost in and around the metropolis. Yesterday we had a cold rain. The provincial journals received yesterday report a fall of snow in many parts of the country. A letter from Shields, dated Saturday, says:—" Yesterday morning, when people arose from their beds on the Northumber• land coast, they found that winter had suddenly come upon them, as an intense black frost had covered the ponds and small pools with a covering of ice, and large banks of clouds in the north threatened snow. Heavy snow showers came on about 10 in the forenoon, and prevailed all day, the closed shops and absence of business in the large towns, and the sounds of muffled peals from the church towers, during the funeral of Mr. Robert Stephenson, gave an air of intense gloom and me lancholy to all about, which was increased in the seaports by the wind whistling among the rigging of the vessels in the harbours, and the moaning of the sea on the bars. A strong and nipping north east wind has blown both yesterday and to•day. A Dutch brig, the Hilka, ran on to the Herd Sand yesterday in attempting to enter Shields harbour, and to-day the action of the surf has broken her up. The weather is extremely cold and bleak to night, and there is every appearance of more snow. Within the past two days coveys of partridges have alighted in the early morning in the streets of New castle and Shields, and robins and other small birds are drawing in towards the habitation of man." On Saturday, in the district of which Bradford is the centre, there was a considerable fall of snow, some of which lay on the ground for hours, giving quite a wintry appearance to the previously au tumnal landscape. Snow has also fallen in Ireland and Scotland. At Edinburgh, on Friday, the thermometer was from six to eight degrees below the freezing point, and ice fully half an inch in thickness was formed upon the lochs around Arthur's Seat. The Aberdeen -Herald of Saturday says :--'• Winter has come on us with a start alike unexpected and unpleasant. While we write, snow, usually driven by January's blasts,' is lying at our doors. Considering the rough weather and winds we have lately expe rienced, we quite agree with the old blacksmith who, on a stormy day, said, Weel, lads, there's a precious hen' at the bellows.' We hope that this is no indication of what we are to ex.pect during the dark months. In North and East Yorkshire a very heavy fall of snow set in on Friday afternoon, which greatly interfered with the progress of the wheat sowing. Severe frosts have damaged the crops of mangold wurzel not housed. On the welds and moors the snow fell very thick. On Friday evening a heavy thunderstorm occurred, and until late on Saturday morning most brilliant discharges of lightning were prevalent in the north and cast. The severity of the weath:r caused a great advance in the price of all turnips, which are said to t e very greatly diseased, and ether root crops. In Ashton and the neighbourhood there was a considerable fall of snow during Saturday morning and Sunday, and the cold was very severe. The Birmingham Post says :—" After a continua tion of almost unprecedented fine weather, the face of nature has suddenly undergone an alteration, and the season of out-door flowers is past. Up to Wednesday, the 19th, we had genial sunshine, and it was difficult to imagine, looking at the still rich and beautiful floral display our gardens presented, and the bright emerald luxuriance of the fields, that we were approaching so near to gloomy November. The morning of Thursday was thick and hazy, and soon after noon a cold miserable drizzling rain came on, which, as the day waned, turned to a con tinuous heavy fall till midnight, when the sky cleared, and a keen frost set in, and on the morning of Friday ice was found, we believe, for the first time, on the ponds and waterbeds. The magnificent dahlias hung their heads, and the gardener looked in vain for the loveliness his gay parterre had pre sented the day before. Sunday was dry, but in tensely cold, and early in the afternoon a fall of snow, which covered the ground, took place in the neighbourhood of Coleshill." A valued correspondent of the Lake district writes to us :----After two or three weeks of fine sea sonable weather in the Lake District, and before any change was perceptible the barometer began to fall on Tuesday, the 18th, and fell for 60 hours, without any other sign of bad weather being per ceptible. Friday was a brilliant day; and at night the sky was cloudless, but quivering with light nings in various quarters. At sunrise next morn ing, the landscape was sheeted in snow. Such a depth of snow so early as the 22d of October is a very rare circumstance; and the peculiarity of the spectacle will cause it to be long remembered. No snch thing as a bare tree was to be seen ; and the massy foliage of the sycamores sustained a dome of snow ; whiie even the ash trees remained in leaf amidst a January landscape. The gay foliage of autumn coming into view as the noon sunshine re leased the woods from their burden, formed a sin gular contrast with the snow carpet spread be neath. On Saturday night again the frost was se vere, and more snow fell ; and there must be some anxiety till it is ascertained how the root crops in the ground have sustained the extraordinary visi tation of frost and snow immediately succeeding a period of weather as warm as summer. The floods and drought of the early part of the year had al ready made it abundantly difficult to feed farm stock. Hay has for some time been £7 a ton, tur nips prospectively very dear, and carrots ls. a stone by wholesale. If the potatoes and mangold are injured by this frost, the disasters of the farmers' year will be complete. THE LATE WRECK OF THE DUKE OF RICHMOND STEAMER.—The Board of Trade has instructed the collector of Customs here to institute an inquiry into the circum stancesh connected with the late wreck of the Duke of Ric mond steamer.—Aberdeen Herald. CURIOUS PRAYER.--William Cole says, "T his wa s brought to me, Aug. 21, 177 6 , by Dr. Edwin, o f Cam bridge, from from Dr. Coligeon, who took it out of an old Fog's Journal "0 Lord, thou knowest that I have nine hotises .."—n the city of London, and likewise that I have lately purchased an estate in fee-simple in the county of Essex. Lord, I beseech Theo to preserve the two counties of Essex and Middlesex from fires and earthquakes ; and as I have a mortgage in Hertfordshire, I beg Thee likewise to have an eye of compassion on that county. And, Lord, for the rest of the counties, Thou mayest deal with them as Thou art pleased. 0 Lord, enable the Bank to answer all their bills, and make all my debtors good men. Give a prosperous voyage and- return to the Mermaid sloop, which I have ensured ; and, Lord, Thou has said, ' That .the days of the wicked are short,' and I trust Thou will not forget Thy promises, having purchased an estate in reversion of Sir J. P., a profligate young man. Lord, keep our funds from sinking; and if it be Thy will, let there be no sinking fund. Keep my son Caleb out of evil company, and from gaiming-houses. And sanctify, 0 Lord, this night to me, by preserving me from thieves and fire, and make my ser vant honest and careful, whilst I, Thy servant, lie down in Thee, 0 Lord. Amen.' "—Notes and Queries. PROPOSED MUSICAL FESTIVAL IN GLASGOW.— The Glasgow Citizen says :—" It is proposed to get up a musical festivul in this city about the end of January next. The scheme has originated with the Glasgow Choral Union; and under the auspices of an ample list of patrons, and with the aid of an influential and energetic body of acting stewards, it is likely to be carried out with spirit. As any profits which may accrue are to be devoted to two of our most useful public charities—the Royal Infirmary and the Asylum for the Blind—the festival will appeal to the bene volent as well as to the musical feelings of tho public. Fashion will no doubt lend its influence end contribute to reader the undertaking successful," 98 P i a 65i 1121 13 954 5 4 Oh it i 35 5 loot 6 s ti i i 70 72 li 2} Share! EOUS.

NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN. William Nugent, 35, labourer, was found guilty of un lawfully uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing the same, /cc. The Common Sergeant said, in passing sentence, that it was well for the prisoner that he was unknown to the police and the :prison authorities, or he would most cer tainly have received a much mote severe sentence than he intended to pass upon him. The jury had found him guilty of misdemeanour only, but in the event of his. re peating the offence, it would then become a felony, for which he would become liable to penal servitude for a long term of years, .and such a sentence he would most assuredly receive, as the judges had fully made up their minds to sentence all prisoners found guilty a second time of utter ing to penal servitude for a number of years. The learned gentleman then sentenced him to be imprisoned for nine months with hard labour. POLICE IN2'.E'LLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.— REFU SAL OF THE SERGEANT TO ANSWER THE MAGIS TRATE'S QUESTIONS.—Thomas Rilet, a private of the Scots Fusilier Guards, was charged before Mr. Beadon at, follows : Charles Goldstre, errand boy to Mr. Heath, hatter, and living at 4, Kemerton-place North, Belgrave-square, said that on the previous night he had just entered Hyde Park from Grosvenor-square when the soldier met him, and having said something about lights, began crushing some hats he had ix boxes, it being his custom to take them home with him and take them back the next morning, in stead of returning the same night. He called out "Mur der I" telling the soldier he was breaking his hats, when he replied, " I'll break your - neck," and immediately seized a bundle he had in his hand and struck him on the head with it, kicked him, and then ran off with it towards the magazine, saying, "Now, I'm after some one else." Prisoner said some boys had annoyed him with lights in the fog ; but this was denied by the boy, who said there was no others present, and by John Brooks, a young man, living at 26, Henrietta--square, Cavendish -square, who also proved seeing the soldier strike and kick the boy and run off with the bundle, saying 'that he would " break his - neck" before doing ao. Dobell, 189 A, proved taking the prisoner into custody and that he was not affected by drink. Mr. Beadon (to the prisoner's sergeant)—How long has the prisoner been in the regiment ? Sergeant—Four or five years. He has never been in civil power before, nor in any police court, and only had trifling charges beforo the military authorities. Mr. Beadon—What do you mean by trifling, What has he been charged with, I ask ? Sergeant—l decline to answer that question. Mr. Beadon—Then I'll write to your commanding officer, telling him you refuse to answer me. The prisoner is fined £5, or two months' in default.

The impression that Southampton has been fixed on as the port of al rival and departure for this ves sel is incorrect. During the past week Mr. James Poole, Mayor of Bristol, has been in communication with the directors of the company, and has laid be fore them resolutions passed by the Docks Commit tee and by the Society of Merchant Venturers, offer ing to forego their dues in the event of the Great Eastern coming to that port. Almost simultanc ously a joint deputation, consisting of Mr. C. J. Thomas and Mr. Charles Nash, town-coun- cillors, Mr. James Bush, senior warden of the Society of Merchant Venturers, and Mr. G. E. Bevan, Mr. Mark IVhitwell, and Mr. Leonard Bruton, of the Chamber of Commerce, had an interview on Friday last with Mr. Campbell, Chair- man of the Great Eastern Company, and Messrs. H. F. Berkeley, M.P., and Magnus, directors. It was stated that a sub-committee, called the Har bour Committee, consisting. of Messrs. Berkeley, Magnus. and Cargill, has been appointed for the purpose of receiving information and investigating the respective advantages and facilities offered by the different principal ports for the accommodation of the Great Eastern. At this interview the chair man particularly wished the deputation to under stand that the directors deprecated the idea of en couraging the notion which had got abroad that the Great Eastern was to be taken from port to port for the purposes of exhibition. They had been labouring fcr seven years to prove her success as a commercial undertaking, and it they had wished merely to make an exhibition of the Great Eastern she might have been kept moored in the Thames, where they might have netted £60,000 by her with out trouble and almost without expense. In taking the Great Eastern to Portland, the directors had con sidered, under all circumstances, that that place was the most convenient for the arrangements which had to be made ; and on her removal to Holyhead they had viewed that port as the most direct for a voyage to Portland, United States, and had not sent the Great Eastern there with any idea of her being made an exhibition. They had, perhaps, been too anxious to get her to sea, and to that anxiety the present delay might possibly be attributed. The consequence was that, after due inquiry, the com pany found that the Great Eastern was not now fit to go to sea, and they also found that Holyhead was not conveniently situated for making the necessary alterations. The people of Southampton, who possessed great facilities, had liberally offered to afford them to the company, and the intention now was to remove the Great Eastern to Southampton, and when she was ready for sea to send her on a trip in the Mediterranean. The question of the port to which she would return would depend entirely upon the resnit of inquiries as to their relative advantages in the meantime. From the fait of the number of shareholders in Bristol and that district, and the exceedingly favourable report which had been ni de of the accommodation which could be provided at that port, the chairman assured the deputation that the Board would be most happy to take the Great Eastern to Bristol on her first return vo3 age, if, in the meantime, they received satisfactory evidence that Bristol could offer a harbour where she could go with safety, and where she would find those facilities which such a vessel would require. In reference to this subject, Mr. Bruton, Secretary of the British Chamber of Commerce received the fol lowing letter on Saturday : " The Great Ship Company (Limited), 11, King William-street, London, E.C., Oct. 21. "Sir,—You will be pleased to inform the Kia.yor that the Harbour Committee of this company are ready to receive and consider the request made on behalf of Bristol, if you will give them all the official information in your power as to the capabili ties and conveniences of your port to receive the Great Eastern, so as to enable the Chairman to reply to the letter of his Worship, a copy of which I shall be happo to receive with other documents. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " J. H. YATES, Secrerary. " To Leonard Bruton, Esq., Chamber of Commerce, • Commercial Rooms, Bristol." Steps are being taken by joint sub-committees of the Docks Committee, of the Town Council, the Society of Merchant Venturers, and the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, for supplying the desired information. It was stated by the deputation, in reply to the observations of Mr. Campbell at the above interview, that their immediate object in making the application was not to ascertain whether the Great Eastern would make a temporary visit to Bristol, but whether she was likely to make it the permanent port of arrival and departure. Ex tensive improvements were now in contemplation at the mouth of the river far the accommodation of ocean steamers, and it would be material to ascertain whether this extension should embrace capacity for affording dry-dcck room and other facilities to the Great Eastern if she sailed permanently from this port. Mr. Campbell stated that no decision could be arrived at until the faci lities offered by all the principal ports in the king dom had been duly weighed and determined, but that the claims of Bristol should be entertained in ' an impartial spirit. The Bristol people are san guine that their port will become the ultimate des tination of the Great Eastern, the ground of their hopes being the superior anchorage of Kingtoad, and the proximity to the coal fields, by which it asserted that a saving equal to 10s. per ton might be effected on the enormous consumption of the Great Eastern. TREASURE-TROVE IN IRELAND. Mr. E. Clibborn, curate of the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy, writes as follows to the A thence um : " DUBLIN, Oct. 7. " Having been informed within a few days, by a visitor to this museum, whose statement appeared to me to be reliable, as its details were all consis tent with each other, and corroborated by other facts which my informant could not know, that a large quantity of ancient gold articles, found re cently in Ireland, are weekly finding their way to the melting-pot in London, I would beg, through your columns, to call the attention of the parties injury they are purchasing this gold, to the great they are inflicting on archaeology by the course they are adopting, unless, indeed, they are making drawings and analysis of the various articles, par ticularly the larger ones, which are being destroyed. "As the chief executioner of these ancient re liques is said to be a member of several antiquarian societies in England, it may be hoped this sugges tion may be late, as he may have adopted the hint here proposed already ; but if he has not, Iwould, on the part of persons taking an interestin Irish archeology, entreat of him to make such memoranda of the things already destroyed, the things passing through his hands, and the things ho expects to get from the same party from whom he has got so much already, that hereafter, when the law of treasure trove is repealed in Ireland and England, we may have a sufficient record of this great find. " It is really too bad that the law of the land is such that it fails altogether to save to the Crown or the finder the value of the treasure-trove found in Ireland, while it almost of necessity insures the destruction of things found, provided their quan tity is considerable. In the present case, the find appears to have been very large, and the care of the party finding it most judicious in keeping his secret ; but, generally, the secret is kept so well as to the locality that those who look to these finds only as archaeological facts may seldom get at the real truth of their discovery. " I may mention one example of this kind—the great gold.find in the neighbourhood of Athlone, which realised over £27,000, as appeared from the several sums of money paid by different goldsmiths in Dublin, who, within a period of six months, ad mitted to Dr. Petrie that they had made purchases of this gold to that amount. Dr. Petrie and others have for years back endeavoured to ascertain the locality of this find, and were disposed to place it on an island in the Shannon ; but from other evi dence, obtained by accident, it would appear now that the discovery was not made within seveirmiles of the place to which attention had been directed. " This great find was lost to science, and I fear the one now following on the course of so many others will also be lost, if the parties interested in utilising this gold keep no memorial of its specialities. One point I would insist on is the preservation of actual impressions of any designs or inscriptions which may be on these gold articles, for either or both may solve the question as to the nationality and antiquity of the gold articles found in Ireland. " I have good reason to believe that a large gold breast-plate, with inscriptions on it, has been found lately in Ireland, and it may be a part of this find ; if so, it is to be hoped that this notice may save its inscriptions from loss. We want Irish gold anti quities with genuine inscriptions on them. "I may venture to add to this letter that the facts above referred to lead to the conclusion that • the true course to be taken by the Government and the public, to insure the preservation of gold anti quities and treasure-trove generally, is to allow perfect freedom of trade in these things, as if they were modern, except in the Hall mark, which should • not be impressed on anything said to be ancient, save on the decl Aragon of the licensed gold or silver-, smith owning it, and that such should not be ' allowed to deal in treasure-trove, except it were ; stamped as such, unless the things were very or would be spoiled in the operation."

THE DANGERS OF CRINOLINE.—On Friday even ing last two gentleman were passing along Clayton-street, and observing two females with extra-sized hoops approach ing, neither of whom seemed disposed to give way, one of the gentlemen was in the act of stepping off the flags to the pavement to give room, when his foot caught fast in one of the hoops, and he was thrown down on his face. He had one front tooth broken out and his face disfigured ; but, strange to say, neither of the females stopped to ask if he was any worse, but left him lying, where he remained f . or fully five minutes, completely stunned.—Netccaele Daily Chronicle. pre the t Su i thatany, iia e u ., n i3 ; Suez z c stated anctl C fi o i n a l t p Lange, the the r E e 4 qnu c ,o i t s f h ftohr a e f Fi e sr n ep t nrc o eh. f since at the audience granted by the Empe ep nr n : P e t: on s f h t i h te o i i o fs n could o neti dtherlNtla.kidnet„,Lewshseepdsensnired tthoeelbaeiVthoef;oatene.agycd- t interference, assigning as a against British Government Englando solicit foreign Interference against consistentlyrc e o a m s reason h n t , begat although ppaaryo ft the Goirolument of this COUnecuotnsry.dernexanp t~spek 64f 89i 40 73j 141 40 Share 100 10 Stool Stock Stock too Stock all all all all all - MEN' Paid 100 100 • 100 100 4 1 I 41 4 114 k I 1001 1 54 2
