MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business to-day was very dull, the stat 3 of the Weather contributing to the depression. Consols Opened steadily, and up to the present time main tain their prices, but Foreign Securities in some eases are offered at a reduced figure. There is a slight improvement in American stock, and a rather active business in Telegraph shares. Consols are now at 93i to 931 for money ; ditto, for Account, —; Three per Cent. Re duced, 921; New Tkree per Cents, 921 1 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, March, 5 prem. ; June, 4 prem. ; ditto £lOO, £2OO, and £5OO, March, ; June, . prem. ; Bank of England Stock, 4 1 per Cent., 238.

In the foreign market there has been a recovery of 1 i n Spanish Bonds at 271, on the announce ment that the January dividend will be paid in due course, Foreign Stocks are dull. Turkish Five per Cents are 431 to 431 ;:the Six per Cents., 65 to 6 51 ; the (1862) Bonds, 66 to 661 ; the 1858 Bonds, 66 to 67, and the 1854 Bonds 80 to 82 ex div. Argentine declined 1 to 83/ to 841; and Peruvian at 83, and Italian at 521 to 53 are lower. Egyptian (1868) Bonds are 771 to 771 ; Mexican, 13; to 131; Orel, 801 to 811, and Charkof, 80 to 801. In English Railways there has been a decline of in Caledonian, which opened at 791, and are now 79. Great Northern have been 1 lower at 1071 ; Great Western Shares are 551 to 56 ; Great Eastern, 361 to 361; Lancashire and Yorkshire, • 1251 to 107 ; Brighton, 441 to 44/ ; Chatham, 151 to 16 ; London and North Western, 120 to 1201; Metropolitan, 831 to 831; Midland, 1181 to 1181 ; Berwick, 1181 to 1191 ; and South Eastern, 761 to 771. In Bank Shares prices are not quite so firm. London and Westminster and London Joint Stock each declined 10s., the former being 581 to 591, the latter 311 to 321. Union of London shows an improvement of 10s., the price being 371 to 381 ; Anglo-Austrian, Bto 10 prem. ; Imperial Otto man, 21 to 21 prem. ; Oriental, 411 to 421 ; and English Sootttish, and Australian, 161 to 171. In Construction and Maintenance a large specu lative business has been done at 331 to 34 ; they advanced to 341, but they are now 34 to 341. Anglo-American Telegraph is 191 to 201; Atlantic Eight per Cents. 21 to 21; French Cable, 16 to 161. _ _ American The Five-Twenty Bonds are at 831 to 831 ; ditto 1865, 821 to 82i ; ditto 1867, 831 to 841 ; and the Ten-Forties, 77; to 781; Erie, 201 20; ; Illinois, 991 to 100 ; Atlantic and Great Western Bonds, 26 ; and Debenures, 271. Lombardo-Venetian, without change, at 191 to 20. Great Luxembourg is steady, at 121 to 121. At Mark-lane this morning English wheat was in rather larger supply, and the condition not very good. Sales were with difficulty effected, at fully 2s. decline on the week. Foreign wheat was a dull sale, and quite is. to 2s. lower. There were no gold operations at the Bank on Saturday. The India and China mail steamer Massilia has taken out £23,216. Messrs. Peter Lawson and Sons, the contractors of the San Domingo Loan, have received a telegram from Messrs. Spofford, Tilstone, and Co., their New York agents, to the effect that they understand the annexation, together with the assumption of the indebtedness, of that Republic has been decided upon at Washington, whither they intended to pro ceed to obtain more precise information. A committee of divisional bondholders of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, who state that they were constituted at a private meeting held on the sth ult., have issued a circular asking for co-operation to a❑able them to take indepen dent proceedings for enforcing their claims. According to the Railway News the arbitrators of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, Lord Cairns and the Marquis of Salisbury, have now made so much progress with the arbitration referred to them for the rescue of that gigantic concern from the con,ests of its sectional creditors, that there is good reason to believe their award will be made public before Christmas. Their lordships, it is added, are understood to have already disposed of the whole of the legal points, which promised in the various Courts of Equity to drag on a pro tracted existence for the next seven years at least. Advices from Buenos Ayres mention that the samples forwarded for competition for the premium of £BOO offered by the Argentine Government for the best method of preserving meat in a fresh con dition were opened on the Ist of October in pre- Bence of the jury. " The smell," it is stated, " was in most cases very offensive, but of the 35 samples there were half a dozen good, and one in particular sent from Glasgow is likely to take the prize." The Jury, however, had not yet decided. We learn that petitions were presented to the Master of the Rolls, on the 16th inst., to wind up Compulsorily the Arthur and Albert Average Asso ciations. The petitions will be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the 4th proximo. The Manchester Guardian thus refers to the failure of Messrs. Mackarel and Brindle :—" Messrs. Mackarel and Brindle, manufacturers, Leyland, near Preston, have found it necessary to suspend payment. Their trade liabilities are small, amount ing to little over £2,000. Their weaving shed, Which contains about 250 looms, has been working very partially for some time." The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada have issued their report, prior to the meeting to be held on the 30th inst. The di rectors recommend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, less income tax, be declared on the Paid-up capital stock of the company. According to the Standard of Buenos Ayres the project of exporting live cattle to England is every day looked on with great favour, and " the results of the animals sent by Tait's steamer and sold in London at £l7 per head are considered a splendid augury of success.' The Ariadne, the first of the line of steamers to be constructed for this trade, has sailed from Blackwall, and her return, which may be expected in February, with her new freight, Will be awaited with peculiar interest, from the ex tent to which the experiment will bear on the future supply of food and the development of the con stantly increasing trade between this country and the River Plate.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. The case of the Foresters' Music Hall, Maryle bone, came up to-day. It was a first sitting for proof of debt and decree of trade assets. The bankrupt de scribed himself as a " music hall propi ietor, ventrilo quest, professor of music, and prestidigitateur." He attributed his failure to " Insufficiency of profits, being sued by creditors and heavy law expenses." This indebtedness exceeds £l,OOO, and among hislprineipal unsecured creditors are Mr. Joseph Arnold Cave, of the Victoria Theatre, about £76 ; the parish of Marylebone Vestry Hall about £5O ; the manager of the St. George's Advance Company, Pall-mall, £370. Mr. Charles Eldridge, of 16, Elgin-road, Harrow-road, was appointed creditor's assignee, and the Court fixed the Bth of February for the examination. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. SV2.,TDAT. The Journal Of loftily informs us that the rumours of Ministerial changes are entirely without foundation ; so we may expect that the Cabinet will have to face the Chambers as it stands. The Journal des Debats asks whether M. de Pomade will undertake the defence of those elections carried with a high hand by the prefects, becasise if so his courage must extort the admiration of his oppo nents. The Siecle cynically observes that the foregoing announcement induces some persons to believe that a new Cabinet is actually in course of formation, and there is a general feeling that the public have not heard the whole truth. Meanwhile M. Emile 011ivier, who by common assent is to be the leading spirit of the new Ministry, has come forward to support the candidature of M. Pouyer-Quertier for the Third Circumscription, a chivalrous enterprise which, in the opinion of the Siecle, will only obtain for him a second soujfiet from the electors given on the cheek of his protégé. The .Ifoiriteur Universel of yesterday publishes a letter from M. 011ivier to an elector of the Third Dis trict, stating that he had often differed from M. Pouycr , Quertier, but that he knew him for a courageous speaker, who had often fought against commercial liberty until he ended by loving political liberty. He therefore engages his friends to prefer bins to the "broken-winded" tribunes, who are wearying the world with their feeble declamation. Liberty without revolution is the great desideratum, and M. 011ivier congratulates his partisans on the courage with which they maintain this principle. His opponents, he says, are now as unpopular as he ever was, only his unpopularity was a mistake, which the future will set right ; theirs is a punishment which the future will augment. They are now as powerless to serve liberty as to serve the revolu tion. What a lesson of morality for all! exclaims M. Olivier in conclusion, and he bids his followers continue fighting, and never to give pl ace to demagogues. Very diffeient is the tone of an address sent by a large number of the workmen of Rouen to the workmen of Paris in respect of this candidate. The Rouennais protest strongly against the election of a candidate whom they had good reason for rejecting. They cite a significant fact. The faubourg situated in the vicinity of the immense establish ment of M. Quertier, and which is necessarily influenced by the votes of his employds, was the one to turn the scale at the election by a majority of more than a thousand votes. M. Felix ?yat denies that ho has withdrawn from a candidature for which ho did not offer himself. It is entirely an affair of the electors, and he believes that those of the Eighth Circumscription who have a conscience are anxious to prove it. M. Carnot has issued another circular declaring that all necessary reforms can be accomplished peacefully by the adoption of one fundamental principle, "the constitution of the people should be the work of the . i people themselves, and not of a single man." Hitherto the elections have proceeded amid the most perfect order. On their results it is at present useless to speculate. The excitement that has been aroused on the subject of Rochefort has caused a new profession to be started, the members of which undertake to show off the cele brated candidate. In some of the large hotels, particularly those where the English and Americans abound, these guides appear, and profess to let strangers see the editor of the Lanterne. Their scale of charges is carefully arranged, and their chief object appears to be to procure tickets of admission to the electoral meetings, where the curious may hear, as well as see, the object of their admiration. Father Hyacinthe has written from New York to M. Emile de Girardin to say that a translation of his sermons and speeches has been made in New York by a Presby terian minister. It is preceded by a letter from himself, which has been published in the American journals. Father Hyacinthe requests that M. Emile de Girardin will reproduce this document in its entirety in his journal, because he is particularly anxious that its contents should be known in Europe. He concludes with the expression of an earnest wish that the cause of liberty may triumph in Europe as it does in the noble country where he is at present. A terrible accident has just taken place in the coalpit f Eully-Grenay in the Pas do Calais. A steam engine used for hoisting the mineral extracted set fire to some wood work below, and in a short time flames burst out. The cn3incer of the establishment ordered the orifice to be cic:cd, and the smoke was forced back into the works. Out of sixty-five men below, nineteen were suffocated. Capt.

The calendar contains the names of 94 prisoners. The Common Serjeant, in charging the grand jury, said :—Several cases of murder would have to bo tried. There was a charge against a woman for murderin 3 her baby by administering poison. It was alleged that she had not been alto' ether right in her mind since her con finement, but any question of that kind could come before the jury. The Common Serjeant th la alluded to a case of a very peculiar character. Prisoners wore brokers' assist ants,and were waiting outside the house in which the persons who brought the charge were living, and their object was to carry an execution into effect, but the doors were kept shut, and they could not do so. They then adopted the novel expedient of going to the top of the house and blocking up the chimneys in order to oblige the inmates to open the windows, so that they might in this way effect an entrance. The Grand Jury then retired to their room. POLICE INI ELLIG ENCE.-7hts Day. BOW-STREET. A GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY PREVENTED. - Threo men, named King, Francis, and Trevellyan, ware chargel with burglariously breaking and entering the premises, No. 1, Milford-lane, Strand, and also for having a large quantity of house-breaking implements in their possession. Constable 'Sutton said about a quarter past eleven on Saturday he was called by ono of the witnosss, and from what he said he posted men all round the premises, and then he, with Sergeant MEwen, proceeded to examine the premises, and found the prisoners in the cock-loft, be tween the ceiling and the roof. Near where Trevellyn had been lying he found a leather travelling-bag, which contained a handsaw, a candle, dark lanter, two centre bits, a stock for ditto, four chisels, a ripping chisel, two jemmys, a gimlet, pair of plyers, bottle of oil, six yards of rope, and a bottle of sherry. 13rn further searching the place he found a bundle which contained a bottle of gin, and three lots of food sufficieut for two days at least. Inspector Cox said he had examined the roof of the house, No. 1, Mitford-lane, and found that it would have been a very easy matter to enter the house of Mr. Steward, jeweller, Strand, in which there would be property valued at many thousand pounds. On the pri soner King a skeleton key was found which opened the house in Milford-lane. Constable Scales said for the last nine or ten days ho had seen the prisoner Francis "prosp3cting" the house of Mr. Steward. He had been looking at the house, off and on, for over two or three hours at a time. Ile com municated the fact to his sergeant, and he was told to keep a good look out. Superintendent Thomson said a burglary of Mr, Steward's house was no doubt the intention of the prisons; s. Property in gold and precious stones was there, estimated at batween £15,004 and £20,000 and the prisoners had made up their minds for a long job, as they had food with them that would last over two days. The warders from Millbank identified the men as hav ing Lem in prison under sentence of transportation. One of the prisoners said—You've got us to rights this time, but I hope you'll treat us as men. Mr. Vaughan said, as the evidence of identification was not sufficient, he would remand the priwilers for additional testimony on that point. lIARLBOWUCiIi-STREET. SERIOUS ASSAULT AT 1 lIE "JUDGE AND JURY SOCIETY.' Mr. Jacob Ward, a build,r, of Myrtle Cottage, Putney, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with at,situlting 'Tomas Rowland, a waiter, at the "Judge and Jury SJciell,' Lei- cester-square. The iujurcd man was unable to attend. Walter Sp .racer, cheek-taker at the hall, said that on Saturday ui6lit the prisoner, who was in the hall, became very sick, and Rowland, the waiter, had to remove him, and, on getting outside, Rowland put up his hand to pro tect himself from the prisousr, who was striking at him, when the prisoner bit Rowlaud's thumb, and he was then given into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the witness said the pri soner had been drinking, but not in the hall. Mr. 11. C. Brooks (the Lord Chief Baron of the Judge and Jury Society) said that he had been his waiter tba morning, and he was unable to leave his bed, and ./ Le surgeon said that he was not to go out, and that his thumb had been bitten to the bone, and that the injured man was in a bad state. Joseph Beuger, 22 0 It, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he saw blood running from the waiter's thumb on to the pavement, and the prisoner admitted having bitten his thumb. Thu prisoner said he was struck by the waiter, and called a person named Richardson, residing at Putney, but he only spoke of their having nothing to drink in the hull, and the prisoner being put out of the place with force, but he did nut see the assault. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that such an assault might turn out a serious thing, as sometimes lock jaw en sued from au iujury to the thumb, remanded the prisoner ou , IRDINARY z3HARICB AND STOCKS. raid.

THE MILKMAN AND HIS "StrXDAY GOING TROLTSEILS."— Sophia Peck, aged 22 years, was charged with stealing a pair of trousers, a silk haudkerchief, and a pair of br.tees, the property of James Banks, a milk dealer of 25, Palmer's folly, St. George-in-the-East. The prisouer was servant to the prosecutor, who missed his "Sunday-going trousers, " braces, and a handkerchief on the 3d of October last, and ho could neither go to chu:ch nor take his usual Sunday evening walk with his wife on that day. Isaac Pawsey, a detective policeman, had been looking for the prisoner ever since, and did not find her until Saturday. lie produced a pair of trousers, which the prosecutor identified, and said the last time he wore thorn was at Burnet stock fair on the 4th and sth of Sep tember last. On the 6th his wife carefully deposited the trousers in a box, and covered them over with a silk handkerchief to keep the dust from them. The prisoner raised money upon them at the shop of Mr. Fuller, pawnbroker in Commercial-road, and afterwards made a statutory declaration that she had lost the duplicate. The declaration, signed by the Magistrate, was found upon her when she was apprehended by Pawsey in the workhouse of St. George's-in-the-East, whither she re sorted after spending all her money. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next Middle sex Sessions. A COUPLE or TARTARS.—Elizabeth Evans was charged with biting the nose of Mary Ann Ahearn, of Kinder street, St George's-in-the-East. The parties, who belong to the frail sisterhood, and are both infamous, quarrelled and fought in a public street, to the great delight of numerous blackguards, roughs, and loose women, and they rolled over each other on the ground. Beth got up bleeding, the prisoner with one finger nearly severed, and the prosecutrix with her nose lacerated and bleeding. She averred that the prisoner bit her nose, which was strapped up with surgical plaisters. Mr. Gomm, who defended the prisoner, elicited from the prosecutrix that she had been frequently convicted for assaults, and had been twice imprisoned for six months for a violent outrage upon a woman. James Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Shadvrell, said that he had attended upon both women by order of the magistrate. The forefinger of the prisoner's right hand was bitten to the bone. There were scratches on the face of the prosecutrix, and her nose was lacerated and scratched, but it had not been bitaen. There were no teeth marks on the nose. Both women were contused. The Magistrate said that both women were perfect savages. Ile ordered that the prisoner should enter into her recognizances to keep the peace, and she was then dismissed. WESTMINSTER. A MONSTER OF INIQUITY.—Wm. Howell, a bricklayer, about 40 years of age, was charged with assaulting his wife and child. The wife, a decent looking woman, told a long tale of the horrid brutality that she had been subjected to by the prisoner. They lived in the house of a constable named Anstiss, 132 B, at No. 3, First-street, Chelsea., and had been there four weeks, and prisoner was in the habit of coming home drunk, knocking his . children about and his wife, too. Ho left them without money or food, would not let his wife take any work in, and made use of the most loathsome expressions to his little children, 12 and 14 years of age. Her little body had scars and wounds where he had knocked him about, and be had made him a cripple for life, taking him by the hair and twisting him round. On Saturday prisoner came in, struck the little boy in the mouth and made it bleed, then kicked him, and then pulled him by the hair; the wife interfered, and he gave her a black eye and cut her mouth open. Anstiss, the constable, said the woman was a quiet well-conducted woman, and the husband altogether the reverse. Mr. Selfe strongly animadverted on the ruffianly con duct of the prisoner, and regretted that he had not the power to administer the cat to such a ruffian, who was just the object that required it He sentenced him to six months hard labour for the assault on the wife, two months for the assault on the boy, and after the expiration of these terms to find bail in £2.0 to keep the peace for six months. BREARFAST.—Errs's COCOA.— CRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks :—" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the fine properties of well• selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."

NEWCASTLE'S APPEAL CASE. the appeal case " ex prrte Morris in re the Duke of New castle," was heard beforo Lord Justice Giffard. It was a case in bankruptcy, and an appeal from the decision of that court. His lordship now gave judgment. He said that the only question in the case was whether peels and members of Parliament might, by their privilege, be exempt from proceedings in the bank tuptcy court. He was of the impression that they were not, and in support quoted Lord Ha rdwiek's dictum in reference thereto. Up to the reign of George 111. there was no doubt that members of Parliament and peers had very peculiar privileges by which they were precluded from the effects of any proceedings in regard to matters of insol vency. The aim of subsequent legislation to that period had be en,wit h regard to bankruptcy, to relax the stringency of the regulations, and to improve the position to the creditor as against the member of Parliament. The Act of 1849 was the first step which here upon the question; and by a sec tion of that Act persons who, are traders, are liable to be sued in the Ccurt of Bankruptcy for their debts. That was the meaning of the Act, which extended also to the goods and chattels of the debtor, and thus he was placed in the position of an ordinary debtor. If the defendant in that case had been a trader, the question would have been settled at once. But it was contended that he was not a trader, and was exempt. Taking the construction of the Act of 1361 in connection with the meaning of the Act of 1849, he considered that it regulated the matter en tirely. In the latter Act the following words occurred : Or persons, whether traders or not." His opinion as to the meaning of those words was that they meant clearly to include non-traders. It had been very ingeniously argued that when the Legislature intended to make a law applicable to a class or classes of the community it was specifically mentioned, and that, therefore, no mention being made in that case of members of Parlia ment their privilege continued intact. They certainly did retain freedom from arrest during the performance of their parliamentary duties. But he was clearly of opinion that those words he had alluded to "of persons, whether traders or not," included them in the rank of ordinary creditors. Therefore, according to his construction, there could be no doubt whatever that a trader, according to the Act passed in the year 1849 referring to the question, was to all intents and purposes liable to civil process in a court of law for any debt contracted by him, whether he was a member of Parliament or not. And the Act of 1861, in his opinion, extended the powers of the other Act by the words "or persons, whether traders or not." Therefore it was clear that the Act by such an expression included members of Parliament. If members of Parliament were not specially mentioned, it was, no doubt, entirely from misadventure, and not by any means by intention. Therefore the case must be remitted to the Court of Bankruptcy again, and if it was found the claims were proved against the defendant, he must pay the costs of the appeal. THE DISCH ARGE OF THE DOCKYARD I V aRKMEN. Mr. Morley has written to Mr. Childers, M.P., the First Lord of the Admiralty, for information as to the doings of the Government in re the disciiargo of dockyardmen. Tho following is Mr. Childers' reply :—" You ask me to give you the facts as to the recent reductions of the num ber of dockyardmen, and the closing of Deptford andWool wich Docl. yards ; and to explain the reasons which have influenced the Government in the matter. I have much pleasure in comply ing with your request, so far as the facts aro concerned ; but the arguments for and against the action of the Government can be better stated in Parlia ment than in a letter during the recess. You will, how ever, find the policy, both of the present and the late Government, explained and defended in the debates on the gavy Estimates in 1867, 1868, and 1869. During the last years of Lord Palmerston's and during Lord Russell's Government, the numbers of workmen employed in the dockyards were in course of gradual reduction, and in July 1866, they stood at 18,588. After the accession, in that meal', of the late Government they were increased, until they reached 19,334 in January 1867, and 20,313 in January 1868. In the spring of 1868 the Government made a great reduction in these numbers, which stood at 19,432 in April, 17,294 in May, and 16,128 in July; and they were 15,954 in December 1868, just before the change of Government. The reduction made by the late Government during 11 months of 1863 was therefore to the extent of 4,359 men; and it was effected by the discharge of 3,948 hired men; and the pensioning of 411 established men. Of the hired men, 79 received a gratuity on their discharge. No reduc tion in numbers was made by the present Government during the winter from December, 1868, to March, 1869: but stops were taken to assist some of the dockyardmen who had been discharged and were in dis tress, to emigrate. But the closing of Deptford and the prospective closing of Woolwich led to gradual reductions during tho rest of the year; and the numbers now em ployed are 14,613, or 1,361 less than when the present Government took office in December 1863. During that period of 11 months 617 established men have been pensioned at an average rate of above 9s. a week, 666 have been aided to emigrate, and 187 have received gratuities on discharge. The total number assisted in these ways, 1,470, exceeds by 109 the extent of the reduction during the same period; most of the emigrants' having been discharged during the previous year. The discharges would have been greater had not the present Government commenced the building of three new turret ships, although it had been decided by their predecessors to build no new ships during the present year. This change of policy was challenged in the House of Commons, and on the Bth of March, 1869, a reduction of £30,000 in the vote for wages was pro posed. The motion was resisted and defeated by 122 to 46. You ask me to give particulars as to the closing of Deptford and Woolwich Dockyards. In 1864 the Com mittee of the House of Commons on dockyard extensions recommended that prospectively Deptford, Woolwich, and Pembroke should be closed. The resolutions as to Dept and Woolwich were carried unanimously, the following members being present : Mr. Berkeley, Si Francis Baring, Sir John Pakington, Mr. Corry, Sir James Elphinstone, Sir Morton Peto, Sir Joseph Paxton, Mr. Lawson, Mr.Leatham, Mr. Laird, Mr. Hennessey, Captain Talbot, Sir John Hay, and Lord Clarence Paget (chairman). The resolution as to: Pembroke was carried by nine to four, the noes being Mr. Berkeley, Sir Francis Baring, Sir John Pakington, and Mr. Corry. The late Government carried out this resolution as to Deptford, the order to close which, on the 31st of March last, was given in 1368. The present Government have car ried out this resolution as to Woolwich. But they have not adopted the recommendation of the committee to close Pembroke also. The total number of workmen in Wool- wich and Deptford Dockyards, on the accession of the present Government to office was 2,431. Of these, 1,235 have been transferred to other dockyards on full employment ; 249 have been pensioned at an average of 10s. a week; 342 have been assisted to emigrate ; 171 have been discharged with gratuities ; 42 have been dismissed, died, or are temporarily retained; and the remainder, 392, hired men on weekly wages, have been discharged without gratuities. Of the men discharged with gratuities, many had no claim under the terms of hiring, but the rule has been specially relaxed." Riordan, the man who was arrested by the police in Cork on suspicion of being implicated in the late mur der, has been discharged, there being no evidence to wF -‘nt his detention. _ _ ...... ... A Yankee editor remarked in a polemical article, that though he would not call his opponent a liar, he must say, that if the gentleman had intended to state what was utterly false, he had been remarkably successful in his attempt. The clerical address of sympathy to the lion. Mrs. Waldegrave, from the clergy of the diocese of Carlisle, was presented to that lady on Thursday by the Chancellor and the Dean. It was accompanied with the autographs of nearly all the clergy of the diocese. Mrs. Waldegrave was much touched with this testimony of respect and regard for her late husband. SIR, JAMES PRIOR AND Mn. FORSTER.—Sir James Prior, who died on Tuesday last, is chiefly remem bered in the literary world for his rather angry contro versy with Mr. John Forster on the subject of his "Life of Goldsmith." Sir James, who was the author of a life of Goldsmith, published long before Mr. Forster's delightful biography, accused Mr. Forster of wholesale appropria tion of his labours, to which Mr. Forster replied a little in the old style of savage literary controversy. The truth seemed to be that Mr. Forster was con siderably indebted to Sir James in the way of facts ; but facts cannot be made the subject of private property; and Sir James Prior's views on the subject certainly seam to tend to forbid any man ever to write a life of Goldsmith after himself. Mr. Forster's best defence, licwevor, is the enormous and essential difference between his book and that of his predecessor—the former being a work of genius in which a name dear to every student of English literature becomes clothed with real flesh and blood reality, while Sir James's work, like his "Life of Burke," is the dull book of a plodding literary workman. Sir James's " Life of Edward Malone" (we believe his latest publication) contains some amusing anecdotes. These were, we believe, the only works in no way of belles-lettres published by Sir James Prior, who was, however, known for some l medica works. He was knighted in 185 8 , during Lord Derby's ailministration. s eoItTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day ciry BETTING.—Tuts DAY. h.TROPOLITAN S TEEPLEOHA.BE. 10 to 1 agst Brick (taken) 100 to 8 agst Q.C.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of Saturday eron'aag:— To-dny was decide.l over the Tyne Champion Course the great race between Henry Kelley and Joseph Sather, and James Renforth and James Taylor, all tried and good men, for the above amount. A magnificent race—Kelley and Sadlar rowing at a great pace, and gradually increasing their lead to two lengths. The contest was a splendid one, and Renforth, making a fine spurt, drew up to his men a quartet of a mile from home, and touched them on their quarter. Kelley and Smiler, full, of rowing, got away again, and came in first by two lengths. The referee was appealed to by both sides, and decided the race in favour of Kelley, who re ceived a great ovation. LIS7 FOR THE USE OF VISITORS TO TIIE METROPOLIS. IdLUSEVAII , .

We regret to state that Mr. Justiee Hayes still continues in a very precarious state of health at the West minster Palace Hotel, from whenoe it has been impossible to remove him. We learn this afternoon that Mr Justice Hayes is worse. It is understood in Chatham that the Lords of the Admiralty will grant the prayer of the " factory bands" of the Dockyard for an increase of pay from the beginning of the new year, when the "factory hours" will cease, and the men who had been work ing them be placed in the same position as to hours as the other artisans. In 1857, when other work men got an increase of pay, the factory hands did not, as they could earn more money because al lowed to work l&nger. They now ask that when the hours are changed they may receive the like pay as the rest of the mechanics; and their Lordships, it is stated, will grant the very reasonable request as set forth in a memorial by the men. I fAu enormous saving will be effected in plain, fancy, and commercial stationery, by dealing with the manufacturers, Perkins and Gotto, who receive the papers dir.et from the mill, and cut. press, and finish it upon the premises, employing up wards of 150 hands. They undertake to supply the public with large or small quantities at a I r:fling advance upon the cost. Ad au example, a ream of 480 sheets of Note Paper for as. SJo En velopes for 2s. 3d.
