These are appeal motions from orders of the Master of the Rolls, proceeding on his chief clerk's certificates, de claring that the transference by them of 300 shares each to Mr. Hudson and nephew, of the scrip certificate of the company, on 9th Nov., 1857, per their broker in the Stock Exchange, at 2s. 6d. per share, when the company was in embarrassed circumstances, was not a bona fide transaction or valid transfer of the said shares. The Attorney-General is now being heard for the appel lants, and it is probable the hearing will occupy the whole of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(IRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. USING THE BELT.—Peter Wilson, a private of the Scots Fusiliers, was charged as follows : Mr. John Hill, of the Feathers, Oxford .street, said that on the previous evening the prisoner, who was very drunk, entered his house, and immediately on being refused to be served with any more drink commenced using the most disgusting language. He ordered him to leave the house, and he refused to do so, but ultimately did so, and as ho attempted to strike him ho called a constable. The prisoner created a great disturbance, took off his belt, and said he would serve him "as their chaps did the bobbies." He seized the prisoner's arm and prevented further mischief. The constable was very forbearing towards the prisoner, who was very violent. . . 142 C said prisoner, who was very drunk, took off his belt, and said he (the constable) was " nothing but a bobby,' and attempted to strike him with it, but the last witness prevented him doing any mischief, and he was then taken to the station. Prisoner's sergeant gave him a good character. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner had a good character, and he hoped he would keep it, but he could not pass over such a breach of discipline, and he must pay 20s. or IO days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

We believe we speak without exaggeration when we sty that the 25th and 26th of October has en graved a melancholy line in the annals of maritime disasters. For the time the gale lasted it was, perhaps, the most destructive of any storm since the beginning of this century, the loss of vessels and life being most appalling whilst its devastating fury continued. We speak in re ference to those whose fate is beyond conjec ture, but, to swell the total, numbers of un fortunate craft have foundered with their crews, leaving only floating fragments for the mind to guess at a late not to be revealed in time. The actual loss to the shipping interest on the 25th and 26th of October, 1859, is beyond all conception, and perhaps without parallel within living recollection. To give our readers some idea of the destructive fury of the gale in question, we give below, col lected with great care, so as to be as accurate as possible, a list of the vessels that were totally lost only, in the now memorable late gale, with an ac• count of the crews all drowned, partly saved, and all saved. We have omitted including the vessels that have suffered damage only by being driven on shore in that gale, fan the reason that the list would then exceed more than double its present length, and far beyond our available space. As will be seen, the loss in human life during the 25th and 26th of last month is most melancholy indeed.

The mining mania in Australia seems likely to excel even English experience in such matters. The reaction of companies at Melbourne shortly before the departure of the last mail was at the rate of about 60 per fortnight, and the rush for shares was but in adequately met by that supply. Of course, in this state of affairs most departments of sober industry were regarded with scorn, and the banks in Australia and the shipping houses here will do well to look to the consequences. The excitement began from a report that the Bendigo Waterworks Company, in excavating for their reservoirs, had found the ground richly auriferous. Their £5 shares, with £1 paid, went to £ll premium, and under this influence the professional concoctors of companies commenced operations, and were immediately rewarded by the unlimited confidence of a public who, probably, if these gentlemen are like this class on this side, would not have trusted them with a shilling had they started in any honest and moderate occupation. Accordingly, all the land that can be supposed to resemble that of Bendigo is being parcelled out, and the results, as far as the promoters are concerned, will doubtless be manifested a year or two hence by the arrival in London of a number of " influen tial" gentlemen prepared to enjoy in England the vast results of their career of colonial enterprise. Meanwhile they appear disposed, notwithstanding the glut of gold they promise to open up, to invite as many contributions of the precious metal as can be obtained from the mother country. " The un limited field now offered for the investment of capital cannot," it is said, " be long neglected by English capitalists." As the production of capital is the business in hand, the sending out of capital to promote it can scarcely be necessary ; but there will probably be found many investors to whom this fact will not be apparent. Out of a list of 20 existing companies, the shares of which in the Mel bourne market, according to the last quotations, ranged between 10 cent. and 900 per cent. pre mium on the amount paid up, only two are yet re ported as having made distributions to their pro prietors. One of these is called the Buninyong Gold Mining Company (Co-operative), the shares of which, only 40 in number, are nominally of £5OO esch, with £125 paid up. In this instance the distribution is handsome, being £2O per share per week, but the price is £1,300 to £1,400. Whether the yield is likely, to continue at the same rate is, of course, a point of uncertainty. The other is the Clunes . Quartz Mining Company (Co-operative), which is divided into 100 shares of £l5, and pays £2 10s. per week on each. The latest price of these is £165 to £l7O. The company are con nected with the English concern called the Port Philip, whose £1 shares at Melbourne have con sequently recovered to ss. discount. Among the projects the returns of which are still but in - prospect, the most attractive, judging from their ▪ market value, are the " Specimen Gully," the " Bendigo Gold Washing and Steam Puddling," the " Coliban," and the " Sandy-creek Poverty Reef." These are mostly at about 100 per cent. premium on the amounts paid up, but the latter is at about 700 or 800. The nominal capitals usually range from £5,000 to £BO,OOO. In a useful list pre pared by Mr. Thomas Loader, of Melbourne, it is remarked that, in addilion to those regularly quoted, " hundreds of others might be inserted." He also adds that in the mining districts there are nume rous respectable and affluent private companies, with capitals of from £l,OOO to £20,000 each, possessing steam engines and extensive plant, which &re scarcely known beyond their immediate locality, and the shares of which are seldom in the open market. These, doubtless, are the concerns which, from their paying character, are thought worthy of being held - by their proprietors instead of being magnanimously offered to the public at large. In speaking of their _ proceedings Mr. Loader observes, " A large capital is not necessary for a gold mining operation." With reference to the other schemes, however, he seems rather to depart from this view, and to think that, in addition to the amount that may be available in the colony, extensive contribution from England would be desirable.—Times. COAL IN VICTORIA.—Messrs. Stone and Davies have recently arrived at Melbottrnt from the Cape Pater son coal fields. From the report given by them it appears that the Victoria Coal Company have succeeded in finding two scams of coal of a very superior quality—one of the thickness of 1 foot 2 inches, 42 feet from the surface; and another 2 feet 2 inches, at 50 feet from the surface. By this discovery it is found that a large quantity of coal may be raised without incurring the expense of sinking new shafts.—Australian NEW SOUTH WALES V. THE THAMES.—A chal lenge has been forwarded to England by the friends of Mr. R. Green, the champion puller of Port Jackson, to pull any man in England for from £5OO to £1,000; the acceptor to receive £125 for his exp3uses in coming out. A gentleman in London has been instructed to make the necessary rangemeuts.—.lustralian THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Nov. 9.—Wind this day at noon, N.W.; light breeze, and fine frosty weather.

Bye Lanes and Downs of England, with Turf Scenes and Characters. By Sylvanus. Bentley, New Burlington-street. _ _ _ Racing will always constitute a most fascinating sport, we believe, for an Englishman ; for whether it be "got up" by the "tag rag and bobtail owners of half-starved " Jerusalem ponies" at a country fair ; or by the noble and wealthy possessors of matchless " Eclipsed' and earth-spurning " Cother stones" on the downs of Doncaster or Epsom, the excitement and interest betrayed by the surround ing multitude afford ample testimony of our national enthusiasm touching a "dead heat," or " winning by a head." Our well beloved Queen honours Ascot with her im posing presence, and Jack Brown the pot-boy at the Blue Lion, would be wretched for the whole year without seeing the " Derby" run. Our Prime Ministers keep their racing studs, and our lawyers' clerks and butcher boys " bet " and " hedge " with a sort of national aptitude. It is no wonder, there fore, that a well written volume, on the engrossing pursuit, should always be welcome, and Sylvanus presents us with a very pleasant, light, and read able book in the one now before us. He gives anec dotes of numerous and well-known " turfites," and initiates the tyro into the vice and folly of the sys tematic swindling co-existent with the race course, without descending to offensive slang, or indulging in moral preaching. He dis cusses George the Fourth or Sam Chiffney with equal justice and sincerity, and preserves throughout his pages the tone of a gentleman. We are induced to cull an extract or two. The first presents a very strong example of decision and coolness in making a bargain : The first personage who commanded notice was a tall high-bled man, about middle-age, of the true Anglo-Saxon tint and countenance, dressed in a loose maroon double breasted coat, with club buttons; a large cream-coloured muslin cravat, and leather (buckskin) trousers, who seemed to still the ring when the quiet, rather womanish tones of his voice were heard, offering some mighty sum against a horse in the Derby. lie had the genuine cut of an English gentleman—so countrified, yet refined—so quiet, yet deter mined in his air. " I see whom you are looking at," said O'Fay, before I had well inquired the name of the person I was regarding. "That is Lord George Bentinck—a lion of the turf, and a very dangerohs customer He is a profound calculator ; an excellent judge of a horse,—spares no expense in train ing, vanning,. and in keeping up his stud from the best blood, and will some fine morning give the ring such a shaking as will make it tremble, or fly in pieces. " lle goes for the great coups; and with an innate love of sporting, and proficiency in wood or turf-craft, brings the acuteness of a superior mind, aid consummate coolness, to his aid in carrying out his racing schemes." " If looks are an index to these qualifications," replied I, "his lordship seems all you say." " Yes; and though he does not despise any man's infor mation—reserving to himself the option of making use of it, together with the other rough-handled tools he finds at times essential to enable him to get at what is doing,' Lord George has never been known to suffer any familiarity at the hands of any of the low squad: He would stand himself in his own apartment for half a day, sooner than permit a fellow like Hill to be seated in his presence, which is more than some of the c order' can boast." " We some of us think he only races till an opportunity occurs of flying at higher game," continued O'Fay, "and that he will, retire as hastily as ho suddenly burst on the turf."—A prophecy fulfilled to the letter, his lordship having disposed of his stud at a word ! " The lot, Payne," said he, at Goodwood, " from old Bay Middleton to Little Kitchener" (his c feather-weight') "for ten thousand? Yes, or no ?" "I will give £3OO till brzakfast-time to-morrow to con sider the matter, Bentinck," replied Mr. George Payne ,— a fine, manly, elegant fellow, of the patrician corner of the ring. " Give me till then, and I will say yes o r no." " With pleasure, my good fellow," acquiesced his lord ship, not giving it a second thought, till reminded of the circu nstance by Payne handing him £3OO over his muffin, refusing the offer as nonchalantly as it was made, and re• turning to his Standard Vk i:hout further comment. Then Mr. Mostyn, seeing the negotiation concluded, said very quietly, from the lower cud of the table, taking an eye for an instant from his letters— ".I'll take the lot, Benthlek, at ten thousand ; and will give you a cheque before you go to the course." " If you please," replied Lord George, and the bargain was completed I How low* ' it would have taken a brace of Frenchmen, or any other foreigners, to settle such an affair, I refrain to guess. The next introduces ns to a striking character of considerable notoriety in his day : Colonel Mellish was little less than a meteor in the sporting world and dazzling hemisphere of fashion, being probably the most finished example of a high-bred turfite who ever trod the race-course in ancient or modern times. He would have taken the "whip-hand" from Philip of 11Lace don I and all but out-Brummelled Brummel in his dress and fastidious habits. With a princely fortune, ex quisite taste, many varied accomplishments, and the con summate pluck of a British yeoman at heart, with all his thew and sinews, it is little wonder that Mellish had a relish for life, and indulged himself in all the sports of the field, as became a stalwart gentleman. He was an artist—painting far beyond the performance of the mere amateur—a fine horseman, a scientific farmer, a brave soldier, and a skilful coachman, having been, as it is asserted of im, the cleverest man of his day on the turf, especially in handicapping and making matches, in which few could excel him. . His establishment was terrific! He had at one period of his life thirty-eight race-horses in training, seventeen car riage-korses, a dozen hunters in Leicestershire, four chargers at Brighton, and hacks innumerable ; and of course a whole brigade of retainers in his pay. The Colonel made his appearance on the race-ground, when in the meridian of his career, in a way never yet imitated or ap proached. Driving four white horses " in hand," with "outriders" on matches, ridden with harness bridles, and holsters at the saddle bow ; his barouche painted in exquisite taste, the handsome Colonel was truly the observed of all observers, as whirling up to the Grand Stand, tossing his reins on either hand, and descending as if unseen or the quietest man in life, he mounted one of the thorough-bred ha c k s , led by the saddle-horse groom in the rear of his retinue, habited like the rest of his people in crimson livery, and followed by two other grooms, cantered over the course towards the rubbing-house or warren. Had he contented himself with only this, and refrained from "flirting with the elephants tooth," all would have been comparatively well ; but vile, insinuating hazard, effecting that which betting in the ring had only partially accomplished, filched his fair domains, and drove the ac complished Colonel to a premature grave ! It is reported of him that he played for £40,000 at a sitting, nay, that he once staked that sum upon a single throw, believing, lost man 1 that the greatest pleasure in life was to play and to win, and the next best enjoyment to play and to lose. This true madman's code it is said the late Charles James Fox—the possessor of the most brilliant in tellect of any age was the founder of, he being at one time of his life deep in the mysteries of the Turf, and a very heavy bettor. We cannot close the volume without giving a pain ful and graphic picture of the evil effects of the uncontrolled spirit of gambling. We see an old and valued friend of Sylvanus,.reduced from health, happiness, and plenty, to this sad and painful con dition—a serious text for the reflective brain and sensitive heart to gather a sermon from : I found poor Dallas seated before his " snuggery" fire, a shadow of his forma self, consumed by alternate fits of me lancholy and excitement. His depression at times, was too painful to witness un moved, and had made woeful ravages upon his features and person. He was in little cue to play a half-pound trout, poor fellow ! far less a "bounding two-year-old," having scarcely left the house for weeks, or smiled, as his sister said, for months. He was, nevertheless, deeply intent on a racing calendar I and had a sheet of paper before him covered with imaginary or worthless bets, and examples of " book-making" whoa entered. The fatal disease had entered into his very heart's core and common sense, and could only now end with his life, that I plainly saw hung on a tenure in which no tinge of hope remained. It seems in the short year and a half's incessant attend ance upon every race meeting between the First Spring and the Houghton, Dallas had contrived, through the agency of ill-luck and worse handling, to mortgage every blade of grass lie was possessed of, in addition to the former encumbrance effected on the " Cotberstone Derby;" and steeped in utter recklessness, had finally borrowed of his sister the moiety of her funded fortune, every shilling of which had been sacrificed to the popular passion of betting upon a few horses galloping a mile and three-quarters in their longest race, ad very frequently over a course of half the distace ! This great outlay of money, and injustice to his confid ing, affectionate sister, had, after all the sacrifice, totally failed to save the name of the madman from disgrece, and the brand of a defaulter; for, at the last October meeting at Newmarket, he omitted to liquidate debts in the ring to the amount of several thousand pounds, and returned home to die of self- hatred and remorse. To the last he hoped and tried to dispose of a distant, but happily not very saleable reversion.; intending, as he said, to lodge a couple of thousands in credit at Tattersall's, and make a book to that amount I never ceasing to plume him self upon his ability to bet and retrieve his name and for tune, spite his all but invariable losses reproving him for his vanity and folly. To relate the progress of the corroding, deadly malady of poor Dallas, or describe the grief which reigned in the yeoman's orphan home, we shall not attempt. Suffice it to say, for every hoped-for purpose of good or warning, that after a few weeks' painful lingering on the threshold of that life he had ruthlessly rifled of every leaf and flower, I saw my friend, at the early age of forty-three, laid below that green grass turf whereon he had been the self-immolated martyr and the victim 1 PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about dis. and the short exchange on London is '25.10 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore at about 1 10th per cent dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which, wheir compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa tion of gold from the United States. SHARKS. —A very lamentable occurrence took place in town yesterday. A little after noon, some native lads took to bathing in the surf, as is usual and is seen daily by those who pass on the Beach-road. They were not long sporting and enjoying themselves, when ono was seized by a shark. He was between 12 and 14 years of age. A boat man saw the poor boy struggling, and bravely made off to and brought him ashore. Assistance had arrived too late, however, the left leg and thigh had been stripped clean to the hone; and the ill-fated youth hopped only a few paces on shore, when he sank and expired.-2ladrus _Examiner Sept. 20 CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market. For both red and white qualities the de mand ruled steady at prices fully equal to Monday's cur- rency. We had an improved inquir3 for fine foreign wheats, and in some instances the quotations had an upward tendency. Low and damp parcels moved off slowly at late rates. The barley trade was very firm, but no actual change took place in prices. Fino malt sold steadily, other kinds slowly, at previous rates. There was a good consumptive inquiry for oats, and prices were the turn in favour of sellers. Both beans and peas moved off steadily at full quotations. Flour was firm, but not dearer.

The Botanic Gardens at Melbourne are said to be daily improving under the management of the superinten dent, Dr. Mueller. Large aviaries have been built for the naturalisation of exotic birds, and plant-houses erected for the reception of the flora of tropical regions. The parlia ment has voted the sum of £lB,OOO for a new iron fence around the entire circuit of the gardens. The ground set aside for the Zoological Gardens has now been fenced in, and £l,OOO voted for planting them. They are at present occupied by a flock of llamas and alpacas (considerably augmented in number since their arrival from England), some omens, and Angora goats. Four ran.

On Monday evening the first general meeting oft. Royal Institute of British Architects was held within their new premises, 9, Conduit street, Hanover square. The Right lion. the Earl De Grey, K.G., president, took the chair at 8 o'clock. There were about 300 members and visitors present, among whom were Professor Donaldson, Professor Cocke rell, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Sydney Smirke, Mr. Digby Wyatt, &c. The PRESIDENT, after some routine business had been gone through by the secretary, such as the admission of new members, and the notification of various portraits that had been given by mem bers to adorn the hall of meeting, rose to convey the thanks of the institute to the donors, and after congratulating the meeting on their having now secured a locus stand where they might rest secure of not being summarily turned out—a benefit which, he stated, would be more directly reaped by the younger members—proceeded to give a short sketch of the history of the institute, and of his connection with it. "In 1834, as near as I can recollect," he continued, "you elected me your president. You then only numbered 13 members. I had no particular claim to the honour; all that I could boast of was a good will towards the object you had in view, and a desire to aid you in your exertiols in so far as my ability went. You further rescinded your standing orders requiring an annual elec tion of your president in my favour. At this early period another society existed labouring to carry out the same object, called the Architectuial So ciety. In 1842 a union was effected between the two societies, and now combined in 1559 we num ber, in connexion with this society, includiog fel lows, associates, honorary and corresponding mem bers, altogether 416." The noble lord, after expressing his cordial readiness on all ocoasiens to aid in extending the influence of the institute, and in maintaining its interests, in accordance with the special business of the evening called upon INIr. Tite, M.P., to address the meeting. Mr. TITE then delivered an eloquent address on the position and prospects of the profession, and con clnded by the following remarks on the architectural question of the day . :—" This slight reference to pub lic competitions brings me naturally to one of the great questions of the day—the competition for the Government buildings. In this case all the requi sites which 1 have enumerated were complied with : the instructions were intelligible and clear ; the reward was distinctly announced ; the drawings were fairly comparative, and there could be no question of the honour and competence of the judges. Unhappily, however, there was one miscarriage, which has led to mostof the subsequent difficulties. Inasmuch as only one building could be erected out of the great mass of propositions open for com petition, no doubt the successful architect for that building must have been chosen to carry it out ; but after the decision was made public, it became known that in this particular instance the first premium had been awarded by the professional judges to the architects who were placed sixth only in the order of merit ; and that in point of fact the architects who received the second premium were entitled to the first. This introduces great difficulty into the discussion. It was agreed on all hands that it was impossible to erect the first design. This led to an inquiry as to the original instructions with respect to the actual site of the offices which had been determined to be built. Grave doubts arose on that subject, the whole proceedings fell into abeyance, and certainly for a time were entirely abandoned. If they had merely remained in this situation, the competitors would have had no right to complain, any more than a builder who in competition gives in the lowest ten der for a building has a right to complain if the estimate should be so large as to prevent the work from bein g executed at all. In the one case the arch i tect gets both his premium and his.reputation, and in the other the successful competitor among the 1 builders is entitled both by law and equity to the expense of making his estimate. But the Minis try of the country having been changed, the ques tion assumed another shape, and, in the midst of the difficulties, the Government resolved on refer ring all the questions to the examination of a Par liamentary conmittee. Of the composition of this committee no one could complain ; it was fairly chosen as regards politics or opinions ; it was pre sided over by a man of learning ; but upon it, it was perfectly well known, there was a great pre ponderance of feeling in favour of Gothic architec ture. The report of the committee did not very much improve the business; but excepting the statement that apart from the evidence that Gothic architecture was not essentially dearer than clas sical architecture, and might as well be adapted to the common purposes of busi ness, the Government was not legally bouud to employ the successful competitor. The committee therefore generally left the question to be dealt with as the Government thought fit. To me, however, it appears indisputable that the pre miated plan No. 2 ought to have been adopted, be cause it was agreed on all hands that the arrange ment suggested met the requirements of the case far better than those of any other plan, and that the elevations and external decoration were moderate, agreeable, and consistent. If the feeling of the country wee so decidedly in favour of Gothic architecture that Gothic forms and Gothic decora tion were to be considered essential, there was nothing in the plan No. 2 to prevent the adoption of that style, and it was perfectly well known that the accomplished architects who had de signed and arranged the external elevation in the Italian style could just as easily, if required, have adapted the architecture of any other nation or period. I think, however, to say the least, that employment of the author of the plan No. 3 was unjust to the architect who had gained the second premium and also unjust to our profession. It is not ray purpose to revive at this meeting or to promote a discussion or a re-discussion of all that has followed, whether in the House of Commons or in this society. I am pre pared to maintain the opinions I have always ex p ress, ed that the architecture of the a pp roved desi g n is neither Gothic nor national in the sense in which those terms are generally understood; that it is very considerably more costly than the same amount of building in the Italian style of architecture : that it is neither so well adapted nor fitted for the pur poses to which it should be applied as Italian archi tecture ; and that the building, if erected as pro posed, whether Gothic or Italian, will involve the destruction of the State Paper-office on the west, and of all the important offices on the south, now forming the west end of Downing-street. This will not be at all the fault of either architect, but if the edifice be erected as it is at present arranged, it can only prove to be a blot and an incongruity. The PRESIDENT, on the conclusion of the address rose and proposed a cordial vote of thanks to Mr Tite, which was carried by acclamation. Professor DONALDSON rose to propose a vote o thanks to the chairman, not only for his kindness in presiding to-night, but specially for the care and attention with which he had presided over the institute for a period of 24 years In reference to the very learned address to which they had just listened with such attention,:and which he characterised as containing much sound criticism on the progress of European art during the last 50 years, the subject was so vast, and the field travelled over so great, that he begged leave to move that the paper remain over for discussion until next meeting, when they would not be so readily led away by the enthusiasm they might now feel, but would be able to view it with the consideration it was worthy of. Mr. TITE, M.P., in seconding the vote of thanks, concurred in wishing the discussion oa the address deferred until next meeting.
