Spanish are stronger, at 261 to 27i. Italian is very flat at a decline of 3, at 523 to 532, after opening Without change. More business is doing in American Securities The Five-Twenty Bonds at 831 to 831, and Erie Shares at 203 to 201, show a rise of each. The changes in railways are all favourable. Great Western are 1 better, Metropolitan, 1 ; and South Eastern, London and North Western, and Midland better.

The Corn Market shows increased depression, partly in consequence of the unsettled state of busi- Less at Liverpool. The Turkish Government have granted a con cession for the construction of the Roumelian Railways, and it is intended to issue 75,000 obligations of 400 f. each, entitling the holders to certain lottery priz.s. It is evident that these obligations will not be negotiable in the London market. Attention has been called to the circumstance that the Metropolitan Consolidated Stock of £2,560,000, announced for tender on Thursday next, will be subject to a stamp of half-a-crown per cent. on every transfer. This is not men tioned in the prospectus, but it must be taken as an element of the calculations as to the price that should be offered. According to the San Francisco Bulletin Mr. Koopmanschap, the organiser of the contemplated immigration of Chinese, recently stated in that city that the plan of taking large numbers of China men through the State of California and overland to the South is not practicable, for, like other sens ible working men, they would be likely to stop where the highest wages can be had. "There is a chance for paid coolie labour in the South, but the track of their immigration will be across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, and across the Atlantic to New Orleans." The Wall-street Journal says that Mr. Drake, who put down the first petroleum oil well in Ame rica, and who at one time was worth £200,000, recently died in the poor-house. The first derrick and engine stand over the well, and are carefully preserved. " A monument is to be erected to his memory, which will contain a room in which the engine is to be placed." The report of the West India and Panama Tele graph Company, to be presented ou the 26th inst., states that the number of share a allotted is 43,710, which, with the 5,000 fully paid up shares to be handed to the contractors in part payment for the cable, represents an available capital of £487,100. The manufacture of the cable has been commenced, and 498 miles have been already completed to the entire satisfaction of the company's engineer. The directors anticipate that the greater part of the cable may be sent out by March next. A com munication has been received from the Governor- General of the Leeward Islands, expressing a desire that those islands should be included in the com pany's scheme, and negotiations are in progress for settling the terms. The colonial produce markets this week have been generally inactive. Prices show little varia tion, as supplies continue rather limited. The prospectus of the Berlin Great Market and Abattoirs Company (Limited) is now in circula tion in the London market, the object being to obtain subscriptions for an issue of 20,000 obli gations. These are offered at 280 f., or £ll 4s. each, and are to be redeemable at 500 f., or £2O, by half-yearly drawings spread over a period of 65 years, the first drawing being fixed to take place in July, 1872. Interest at the rate of £1 per an num on each obligation is to be paid half-yearly in London, Paris, and Berlin. This is equal to 9 per cent. on the price of issue, irrespective of the bonus upon repayment. These obligations are in the nature of debentures, and constitute a first mort gage upon the entire property and assets of the company, including the land, which is stated to be very valuable, and the buildings to be erected. With reference to the Land Mortgage Bank of India, it is notified that the drawings of the deben tures for redemption at par will take place on the 24th inst. An extraordinary meeting of the Natal Land and Colonisation Company (Limited) "will be held on Dec. 3d, for the purpose of making certain altera tions in the articles of association.

Dr. Shorthouse and Mr. Frederick Farrah, of the Strand, appeared before Sir T. Henry to answer a summons taken out against them by Sir Joseph Hawley, charging them with publishing a false and malicious libel. On the bench with Sir T. Henry were the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Westmorland, Lord W. Lennox, and Sir C. Legard. The libel complained of appeared in the Sport ing Times, and charged Sir Joseph with having milked the public by scratching Sider°lite and Blue Gown for the Liverpool Cup. It occurred in a article on representative sportsmen, and set out that a Sir Joseph Scratchawley was a person cap able of.doing anything, and that the scratching of Siderolite and Blue Gown for the Liverpool Cup was one of the most barefaced cases of picking the public pocket that had ever occurred. Sir Joseph Hawley, Bart., said I reside at 34, Eaton. place. On Monday last I went to the Sporting Times office and purchased a copy of the paper produced. I was a member of the Jockey Club, and there is no member of the Jockey Club named Sir Joseph Scratchawley. I had three horses, named Lictor, Siderolite, and Blue Grown, entered for the Liv er p ool Cup, and on the Monday before the race the last two were scratched. I had not, nor did I know, of anybody who had made any bets for me on those horses. In answer to Mr. Straight, who appeared for the defendants, he said he received a letter from Dr. Shorthouse, regretting the appearance of the article, but the summons had been issued. The Duke of Beaufort was then sworn, and said that, in his judgment, the article complained of applied to Sir J. Hawley. Sir Thomas Henry—There is no doubt at all to whom it applies. Mr. Lewis—What is meant by milking? Sir T. Henry—l don't sit to go into that. Duke of Beaufort—Milki n g means a person lay ing against his own horse, and then scratching it. General Peel said—l have no doubt the article applies to Sir Joseph Hawley. Mr. Lewis was about putting some questions to prove the falsity of the libel, when Sir T. Henry said that is not required here ; you need not go into that, as the truth or falsehood of the statement can only be raised at the trial. The proprietorship of the paper having been proved by a clerk from Somerset-house, Mr. Lewis said that would be his case. Mr. Straight then addressed the bench for the defendants, and said that ill apology ought to be quite sufficient to satisfy the wounded feelings of Sir Joseph Hawley; the article had been inserted without the knowledge of Dr. Shorthouse, and no one could more regret the publication of it than be did: With respect to Mr. Farrah he only acted under the direction of Dr. Shorthouse, whose paper he merely published in the ordinary course of business. Sir T. Henry said he had no authority or juris diction to settle the matter here, and therefore he must fully committed both defendants for trial, but accepted bail. THE CASE OF " THE MAN ABOUT Tows."—Mr, Gilbert Robins, 11, Pancras-lane, the proprietor of " The Man About Town," also appeared to an. swer a similar charge. The libel complained o: appeared in the paper published Nov. 13, and was beaded " Turf Talk by an Outsider." Mr. Ilumphreys, for Mr. Robins, tendered the most ample apology, which was made before the issue of the summons. Sir T. Henry committed the defendant for trial, but in this case also accepted bail. In accordance with the Musketry Regulations orders have been issuel at Aldershot for target practice to cease on the 30th inst., and officers com manding regiments have been requested to cause the targets in their charge to be removed to the barrack store. At this time, when the principles and practice of co operative societies engross so large a share of attention, it may be well that Messrs. Parkins and Clotto should remind the no bility and gentry that they have for the last twenty years adopted the pract cc. of buying the host goods in large quantities direct from the manufa:turers, tit:tr.:hag every article in plain figures, and retailing them at the smallest possible profit for ready money ; and where, front distance or other C:LUSC3, cash pa'; ments have been impossible, they have never increased the price of the articles delivered. They respectfully solicit an inspection of their stock, consisting of portrait albums, writing-cases, dres sing-cases, dressing-bags, despatch boxesa envelope-cases and blotting-books, inkstands, desks, stationery cabinets, ornamental goods, purees, pocket books, cigar-cases, reticules, opera-glasses, scent-cases, smelling-bottles, electro-gilt aud elegantly-mounted articles—in fact, au endless variety of articles to suit every taste, purpose, and pocket.—Parkins and ootto, 24 and 25, Oxford street, W.

INCORRIGIBLY LAZY.- Owen Turner, a strongly-built young man, was charged before Mr. Knox with refusing to work iu Mount-street Workhouse. Mr. Rogers appeared on the part of the Workhouse au thorities, and said the charge against the prisoner was for refuskg to work, he having only been discharged from prison on the previous day, having been imp isum d for a similar offence. The prisoLer's excuse vim that he was not in a fit condition to work, but the doctor had certified that he was. He (Mr. Rogers) was sorry to have to set the law in motion, but the prisoner, who bad been con victed several times for a similar thing, set the authorities at defiance. Wm. Paekman, task master at the Mount-street Work house, proved that the prisoner, who was an inmate of the house, refused to perform the task allotted him, and Mr. George Cole, the master of the house, said that the prisoner when persuaded to do the work said Le would not, and that he was not iu a lit state to do it, and he was tlferekre 'compelled to give hint in custoly, Dr. Spites, the medical otlic:.r, saying there was nothing the matter with him (a cermiticate to that effect was handed in.) Sergeant Taylor, J 0, said that on the way to the sta tion the prisoner said, " - the work, they won't get a stroke out of ms. I got better treatment iu the House of Correction than I did there." Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for 42 days. TIIAMES. CLETER CAPTURE.—JoIut George, alias John George Jones, alias Franklin, a powerful young man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged .with stealing a large roll of twilled calico, containing 80 yards, the property of some person or persons unknown. At eight o'clock this morning Sergeant Briden, a detec tive of the K division, met the prisoner and another man in Wilson-street, Limehouse. The prisoner was carrying on his shoulder a roll of calico. Briden got before the two /11013, and as they turned the corner into White Horse street, Stepney, opposite the Colet Arms public-house, he stopped, confronted the two men as they turned the corner, and, grasping the prisoner by the throat with one hand and seizing him by the collar with the other, exclaimed, " You are my prisoner," and at once forced him into the Colet Arms, kept by a very respectable landlord, named Phillips. The astonished prisoner exclaimed, " What does this mean; let me go?" and prepared for a deter mined resistance. Brideu took the roll of calico from the fellow, handed it to Mr. Phillips, who closed all the doors of his house, and said "he don't :wive here without you Briden ;" prisoner, who vigorously resisted, was secured His companion fled, and was no more seen. The prisoner, before he left the Cola Arius, said, "Go after the other gentleman, he gave me the roll to carry ;" but the officer said, " No, 1 have got you, and shall keep you." Mr Gorman, for the prisoner, stoutly maintained he was hired by the gentleman who ran away. Mr Benson did not believe this, and remanded the pri soner for a week. Briden—l have no doubt the roll of linen was stolen from a linen draper's shop, and I shall find an owner for it„ I hope. A GENUINE ROGUE AND VAGABOND.— Joseph Harvey was brought before Mr Paget on a warrant, charged with deserting his two children, and leaving them chargeable to the Poplar Union. Mr W. Foster, relieving officer, said that the prisoner had been twice convicted fur des.erttug his two young children, boys, and four years ago ouu was described as being ten and the other four. The prisoner was adver tised, and two guineas reward offered fur his apprehension. The prrsouer was convicted by Mr Benson in March last, and sentenc.2d to two mouths' imprisonment and hard labour fur deserting his boys. They were now, and bad been fur a lung time, chargeable to thu Union, at au expense to the ratepayers of about 12s per week They were at school. The prisoner cleared out guano cud corn ships, and when he was at work earned ;s. or. Bs. per day. The prisoner, who is a strong able-bodied man, in de fence, said he could not maintain his children, and earned nothing. Mr. Foster —His average earnings are 3t►s. per week. Mr. Courtenay, prosecuting officer to the Poplar Union, confirmed the statement of Mr. Foster. Mr. I'aget said the prisoner was a bad and wicked man to cast the burden of maiutaiuing his children on the rate payers, and he must either go into the workhouse with them or support them out of the house. He sentenced the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A COACHMAN. —John Musson, 49, of 4, Union-streot, Berkeley-square, sHrvant, and for merly in the service of Mr. Robert Lowe, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was charged with obtaining byfslse and fraudulent pretences from Robert Tillett three quarters of oats, a quarter load of hay, ditto of straw, two bushels of old beans, four bushels 'of bran, and also a sack of chaff, with iutout, to defrau 1 Messrs. WuAward and Co., the masters of the said .fuhu 19, Albert-place, limights- rAms CORP,ESPONDENCE ritIDAY. Humours of Ministerial changes aro moro rite than ever, and with whatever precision or perseverance they are denied in official circles, they constantly re-appear in fresh forms and with renewed vitality. - Yesterday, the Public positively affirmed that M. Emile 011ivier had been summoned by telegraph to Paris, and was to assume tho post of Minister of the Interior; M. de Pomade was to hold the portfolio of Com merce, and the whole of the changes in contemplation were to he accomplished within forty-eight hours. Half of the given time has t lapsed, but the transformations have not been made, and rumour is busy with fresh combinations. All accounts agree that M. 011ivier is to be the leading spirit of the new Cabinet, though the definite post which he is to fill is matter of speculation. The Public, as you see, sends him to the Ministry of the Interior, others believe he will be nothing More than Minister of Justice, so as to be free to devote himself unreservedly to the defence of the Cabinet in the Corps Ligislatif. The Soir contents itself with the statement that a despatch from CompiZ;gne has invited 31, 011ivier to Paris. He is expected here early next week, indeed it is affirmed in some quarters that be is already here, but this Ido not believe. I have heard that the incoming Minister will make his acceptance of office con ditional, on the understanding that the Corps Legislatif shall be dissolved as soon as it has passed a new electoral law. It has been suggested that as in any case the pressure of time will not allow the formation of a Cabinet suf ficiently strong to rally the majority of the Chamber on its side, or to resist the pressure of the minority, the course of future events and the filling of public office will in reality be governed by the Corps Legislatif itself. The Cabinet of the future, as indicated by the political gossip of the day, is not very promising. Whatever the deputy of Var may accomplish, he can scarcely entirely remodel the policy of a Ministry which is to re tain M. Forcade, the reactionist, and many others who are already pledged to certain courses. M. Magne is to keep the finances, 31. Chasseloup-Laubat the presidency of the Council of State, and 31 ; do Laguerronniere, who has certainly been summoned to Com piegne, is to succeed the Prince do la Tour d'Auvergne in the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. It has yet to be seen how long this Cabinet will succeed in maintaining inward harmony, as well as outward authority. Of M. Rouher nothing is said, but M. Schneider will probably abandon his presidential dignity on account of the state of his health. M. Bancel has addressed a letter to the Progris de Lyons explaining that the manifesto of the Left is only a summary of the most urgent questions of the day, and by no means includes all the reforms which its signatories think neces sary. It is expressly stated in that manifesto that the Left intend to demand most ample reforms; it contains the minimum, but not the programme of Radicalism. M. Bancel is anxious that the people should comprehend this, since their legitimate aspirations must increase until the day when on the ruins of personal power universal suffrage establishes the Republic. The Francais gives some details of an interview that took place between Mr. Gladstone and M. de Lavalette on the subject of the French treaty. The latter having ex pressed the desire of the Emperor that some modification might bo made in it, the English Minister re plied, "Very possibly."

Some persons think that he will be sent to the assizes, but of hers declare that a supplementary examination will be ordered.

Kinj, of 183, 'Maids-vile. orderei thu goods mentioned in the charge, and they were sew to Maiiii-vale ; but the next day it appeared that the goods were removed thence, and that Captain King never lived there, and Clements had obtained the stables under false pretJuces ; he had no. been situ since, but prisoner was apprehended this morn leg; it was on the faith of prisoner's representations, and the other man's too, that the goods were sent as ordered. Prisoner said he had been iu the service of Mr. Love some years ago, and dealt at Woodward's ; he believed Clements to be the man he represented, and was induced to do so by seeing him riding horses abJut the streets. The police asked fur a remand to ascertain if there were other charges against the prisoner. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for a week. Prisoner asked if he might have bail ? Mr. Selfe said he would take bail in £4O for his reap pearance. MUSICAL LTIEMS. (Front the Musical Standard) We regret to hear that Air. Balfe is suffering 'roue severe illness, A new theatre has been built for the use of the Emperor's Court at Compiegne. The performance of tha Italian Company at the Cirque, Brussels, has been suspended, owing to the extreme cold in that city, and deficiency of the heating apparatus at the theatre. The civil tribunal of Munich has just pronounced a decree of divorce between Mdme. Cosina do Bulow, nee Listz, and her husbani. This is the lady who it is said is about to marry Wagner. Wagner has sent to Munich the score of another opera, "La Valkirie." The work is a continuation of " Rheingold," the performance of which latter alone lasts, we are afraid to say, how many hours. A very bad performance of " Oberon" has taken place at Munich (Wagner's stronghold). After the opera the King went on the stage, examined the various scenes, and tried the machinery. He finished by giving a lesson to the various performers as to how the work should go. An exhibition is now open at San Francisco, California. The orchestra, besides including the usual instruments, has in keeping with the latest extravagances, an anvil, a steam whistle, fireworks, bombs, &c., and only requires an ungreased cart wheel to complete its peculiarities. "A Railroad Galop," with real whistle, and a " Battle Piece," with bombs and genuine cartridges, are very po- pular. Professor Sterndale Bennett's " Woman of Sa maria," Sullivan's " Prodigal Son," and a new work by Mr G. W. Martin are to be given by the Na tional Choral Society. Saturday Evening Concerts at Exeter Hall for the performance of the best vocal and instrumental music—for the benefit of early closers—are to be given in January ; they will mitigate the dulness of Saturday evening in the Strand. A number of additional labourers have been taken on at Woolwich Dockyard within the last few days to assist in the removal of the timber and stereo to other yards, which duty is being effected as fast as facilities will permit. Yesterday orders were received at Chatham Gar rison for the following draughts to proceed to India to join their respective corps :-2d Battalion of the it Regiment, Eusigu3 Thorp, Baker, M.Cartly, and 20 men ; Ist Battalion 8d Regiment, Captain Parnell, Ensigns Hickson and Grey, and 54 men ; let Battalion Bth Regiment, Ensigns Marley, Oak ley, and Ilamtnett, and 80 men, under the com mand of Captain Frizell, of the Ist Battalion of the 14th Regiment ; 38.11 Regiment, Capt. Eyre, Lieutenant Crofton, and 51 nun ; 10911 Regiment, Captain Beville, Ensigns Melvin and Barr, and 68 men. '1 he First Lord of the Admiralty has requested Mr. 'lite, M.P., and architect of the City of Lon don Corporation, to supervise the division of Woolwich Dockyard intu plots, preparatory to its immediate sale.. It is understood that this is a compliment to Mr. 'lire's well-known abilities as au architect, and that his services will Lie entirely honorary. IN PARLIAMENT—SESSION, 1870.
