NICOLL and CO. furnish above a list of some of the Establishments in London where the public are supplied with all or some of Messrs. Nicoll's patent productions, and this course is taken to avert inconveni ence to numerous correspondents who daily seek this in formation. At the drapers' establishments which are in cluded in the above list, and at other houses where only materials for ladies' use are kept, there are for inspection the CHANTILLY, a new waterproof cloak, and the TRAVELLING COSTUME now in general request, made of fine, all wool, shower-proof tweed or tartan, and at the clothiers' and hosiers', where gentlemen's goods are supplied, the RUG-PALETOT (patented by Messrs. Nicoll, July 5, 1869), decidedly the cheapest guinea's worth over offered to the public. The RUG-PALE TOT fits anybody, can be lent to a lady, throws off rain, and is one of the most graceful garments ever produced. It is a cloak for the shoulders when walk ing, or a rug for the knees in the carriage or at rest. More than 800 Drapers, Hosiers, and Clothiers are re tailing the articles of Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co.'s manu facture in various parts of the country, and their ad dresses will occasionally be advertised, but will be in stantly forwarded on application to Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co. The want has long been felt of a wholesale house for manufacturing first-class goods only—that is to say, a firm which confined themselves entirely to the use of the best materials, made up in the best manner. The higher and middle classes in this country have found that what is called a "low price" is not the only test of cheapness ; real cheapness depends upon quality, and the manufacture of the best goods only forms the main recommendation of Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co.'s manufactures. A great reduc tion in the cost of production is consequent upon making in large quantities, and a concentration of attention to the required object, these advantages are secured by Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co. in the manufacture of their several novelties for the season, which will be found occasionally advertised in a full column of the "Times" and other newspapers. Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co. until they became manufac turers and wholesale warehousemen only were unable to place before the public in the metropolis their productions, except at retail establishments, with which they are now no longer in any way connected. They have at the pre sent time the honour to announce that the firms above named, and others to be advertised hereafter, will alone have a right to exhibit in London goods bearing the follow ing trade mark, namely : —Between the Shields of Arms of London and Paris the words "Nicoll's Patent" stamped or woven, and no goods of a second-rate quality will ever be produced with that trade mark. If garments bearing that mark are described as "shower proof" or "all wool" the assertion may be relied uper, and the goods will in all other rosy - 1s su,t.tin the reputation of more than a quar ter of a century's standing.

Towards the close of his address Lord STANLEY briefly alludes to the changed circum stances which surround him, and expresses a hope that he may be able to serve his former constituents in "the new sphere of action to which lie is called." In this there is nothing surprising or strange ; it is the fulfilment of the common lot of hu manity. Oue generation passes away and another cometh, but we feel assured that the most cold or matter-of-fact politician who reads this address to the electors of King's Lynn will feel a sensation of regret, and a sad reminder of the vanity and vexa tion of all earthly things. Lord DERBY and Lord STANLEY were in most respects totally dissimilar, but they were alike in some important characteristics, 'they ranked principle beyond power, and let the claims of party sink to their proper insignificance when higher or better interests were at stake. "I could not love thee half so much loved I not honour more" has been the spirit which has actuated the STANLEYS ; and it is this feeling which their country men have appreciated and admired. We have spoken of the noble lord as he was known during the long years when he represented Lynn, but we must remember that while Lord STANLEY de livers his farewell address, we must take leave of Lord STANLEY. The place that has known him shall know him no more, and as he assumes his new title a still sadder farewell must be spoken. While it will be strange to the House of Commons to see a new member for Lynn, it will be a solemn change for the House of Lords to assemble and miss the RUPERT of debate. Well may " The orators whom yet its councils yield Mourn for the veteran hero of their field." The world cannot, however, stay to lament over its wisest or its best, and all that is greatest and grandest must sink into oblivion, unless it can sur vive in memory. Lord STANLEY has left an example to future members of Parliament which they would do well to follow, and it is the best tribute to the character of both father and son that, in this mo mentous change in his career, we see him take leave of the House of Commons, and forget the distinc tion he has won there, in the high estimation with which his personal career as a politician has been regarded. At the same time that he enters the House of Lords as the Fifteenth Earl of DERBY, we think not of his long line of ancestors, but only of his immediate predecessor, and of the loss which has made this gain. Well would it be for the credit of our aristocracy and their chances in the coming generation if their annals contained more names like those of the house of STANLEY. In their home of so, row the mourning family have obtained the sym pathy of all ranks_and classes, and the sting must be taken from the bitterness of death when they remem ber that he who has departed could have had nogreater wish in life than that his death should be mourned by his countrymen as a national loss. The name of Lord STANLEY is not unfamiliar to the House of Lords, but the late possessor of it seems to be more suited to the Commons. It cannot be denied, however, that men of deep thought and calm judgment are often sadly needed in the hereditary branch of the Legislature. The new Earl of DERBY may be of great benefit to his order, and render important services in his fresh sphere of action, although he will not be in so con genial a sphere as when he represented Lynn in the House of Commons. He enters on his task with matured powers and valuable experience, and we may rest assured that his work has only changed and not ceased, for he is not likely to lead au idle life. The political and social questions of the day may well furnish occasion for the patriotic minds of all ranks to bestir themselves, and those who put their bands to the plough must not look back if they hope or expect to succeed. As a great representative man, and as one who had no equal in his own peculiar sphere, the death of Mr. PEABODY will awaken much more than 4L uzual rt.geing snntinjeut of regret. He was the leader of the race of merchant princes. An American by birth, an Englishman by adoption, and a citizen of the world by nature, the great philanthropist has claims upon the gratitude of all humanity. But he deserves lasting remembrance as something more than an example of probity and perseverance, or as an excep tional benefactor to his fellow creatures. Some men are entitled to rank as models of statesmanship, military skill, heroism, or literary genius. Mr. PEA BODY deserves lasting fame as the impersonation of unselfishness. His claim to this high position was first put forward many years ago. After the grocer's apprentice had laid the foundation of his fortune in Baltimore, and had taken up his residence in England he soon became renowned as a sort of medium between his countrymen and England. Hi s was th e hospi tality which was most eagerly sought by Americans who had occasion to sojourn on this side of the Atlantic. Though almost parsimoniously plain in his own habits his liberality to all Americans who had intercourse with him was unbounded. A letter of credit to Mr. PEABODY—Iong before his public munificence created such astonishment—was regarded inthe United States as the indispensable accompaniment to a visit to Eng land. But the fame of Mr. PEABODY'S disinterested ness soon spread. His bounty was dispensed without prejudice as without stint. His principle was not to do the kind of good which he liked best, but to do good wherever the opportunity presented itself. He would contribute to a general fund for the relief of suffering ; he would relieve an isolated case of distress ; he largely aided in the search for Sir rescue j°i F t the N S K t State of N / from difficulties, and paid £3,000 to get the American department in order on the day of the Great Exhibition—the American Government having claimed its share in the world's show, but forgotten to provide for the expenses ! Marylandatuito gratuitously negotiated a loan to These, however, were merely preludes to greater deeds. His native town, Danvers, in the State of Massachusetts, received, in 1852, a donation of twenty thousand dollars for educational purposes. This be quest was followed by others, until now the " Peabody Institute" represents a total endow ment of half a million of dollars. Baltimore received a similar sum in 1856 for the establishment of a Literary and Scientific Institute. The total gifts of Mr. PEABODY to the Southern Education Fund amount to over two millions of dollars. Upon the poor of the City of London he has bestowed a quarter of a million sterling. The monuments of the departed philanthropist are to be found in his works in every part of the two countries. Mr. PEABODY'S name is the less likely to be for gotten since he was a m an sun generic. Very few resembled him, and of exact compeers it may be said that there were none. He will be remembered as well-nigh a solitary example. Indeed, it has often been matter of surprise that so few wealthy men devote their riches primarily to the benefit of their species. The endowment of almshouses, colleges, churches, and the like is, indeed, common enough. Most millionaires, too, contribute liberally —in the ordinary acceptation of the adverb—to subscriptions for every kind of good purpose. Nothing is easier than to raise a large sum to alleviate human suf fering, or to perpetuate the memory of great men. Our nation may justly take credit for its munificence on all occasions of real need. But how infinitesimal a proportion does the sum total of all this bounty bear to the aggregate of the national wealth ! The thousand pounds which DivEs gives to this or that worthy fund affects the weight of his coffers less than the penny bestowed upon a beggar affects the weekly income of the mechanic. How rare are the examples of even such a sum as £50,000 being devoted to charitable purposes by one person ! How phenomenal is a bequest which passes the limit of five figures ! And yet it would seem, according to the natural logic of things, that such donations ought to be of every-day occurrence. A man cannot of his own free-will benefit his fellow creatures as a good statesman, a wise writer, or as an c.ziginal philosopher. But large fortunes are very common, and the qualities needful to secure them are not of the highest order. Money well spent may produce infinitely good results; and will always confer on the giver a just fame which all men might wish to earn. Nor is the sacrifice involved great. There are scores of men now living who might be as bountiful as Mr. PEABODY, and yet have enough and to spare. When we consider the vast results which might accrue if the illustrious deceased had many rivals, and how simple it seems to emulate such well-doing, it be comes really surprising that these great examples are so rare. The anomaly is to be accounted for only by the conclusion that the qualities which lead to the winning of fortunes seldom actuate the wisest em ployment of them. All the greater honour is, there fore, due to him who could both abundantly gain and beneficially spend. Mr. PEABODY'S manner of utilizing his gifts was not less remarkable than their great extent. He renounced the almshouse style of bequest. He loved not to make paupers, but only to help those who would help themselves. Thus his great donation to the Southern States of America was to promote the cause of public education, and, as in the case of all his other gifts, no party or sectarian influence was tolerated in its distribution. The money bestowed on his native town founded an insti tute ; that bestowed on Baltimore is employed in the interests of scientific and literary culture. The sum given for the benefit of the London poor was unfettered by any restrictions; for though Mr. PEA BODY knew the wants of his own country, he appre hended that his acquaintance with the needs of the great metropolis might be less exact; but he expressed an opinion that part of the money at least would be well spent in furnishing better dwellings for the poor. He judged rightly. No want of the London working classes is so pressing. Of the - vast amount which he dispensed in both countries, scarcely any portion was devoted to the purely eleemosynary aid which degrades the recipient. There is one more great merit of the philanthropist ; and it is not the least. What he gave he bestowed during his lifetime. his fortune was not retained whilst he could use it, and dispensed when death deprived him of participation in its enjoyment. Between the two modes of benefi cence there is the widest possible difference. TIIEATRE-ROYAL, HAYMARKET. 'Fnis EvEsnzci, at 7. FOUNDED ON FACTS. After which NEW MEN AND OLD ACRES: Mr Buckatone.

The prosaic annals of Parliamentary life seldom present so touching an incident as that which was furnished by the Election Intelligence of yesterday. Lord STANLEY'S farewell address to the electors of King's Lynn is short and simple, but it is nevertheless eloquent and earnest. The noble lord is always pretty sure to speak or write to the purpose, and whether he appeared before his constituents to render an account of his stewardship or spoke in the House of Commons as the representative of the foreign policy of the country, he knew how to say enough and not to much. In this valedictory ad dress to the 4J Lily COn4taucaoy h was ever returned to the House of Commons he is equal to the occasion, and, in a few sentences, depicts the change that has come over his life, and the new phase upon which he has entered. In the first place, he refers to the past, and declares that it is " with feelings of deep regret he addresses them for the last time. As the political connection between them is severed it will no longer be his duty or his pleasure to represent them in the House or to speak to them on the events of the day." " But," he em phatically adds, " to the last hour of my life there will remain the recollection of your unshaken confi dence and of the personal courtesy I have met with from men of all classes and parties." The circum stances which have attended the noble lord's con nection with this " ancient and independent borough " are indeed peculiar, and seem to mark it out in a special manner from the mere matter-of-fact and every-day events of the political world. To begin with, he was elected with out his own knowledge while he was in America. There would certainly have been something very in consistent in Lord STANLEY'S engaging in a contested election, and mixing even in name in the ques tionable arrangements of some Parliamentary struggles, but there was no approach to anything of the sort. King's Lynn elected him on trust, and long and faithfully has he returned its confidence through the long period of twenty-one years. He was comparatively unknown when the selection was made and their acquaintance began, and it closes when he has attained a world-wide reputation for foresight and sagacity as a statesman, and earned the respect and regard of all parties for his consistency and independence. Lord STANLEY has never been a party man, in the full acceptation of the term ; he has been intimately associated with Cabinet secrets and Parliamentary tactics; but he was in them, not of them ; and while he was never elated by success, he was never cast down by failure. In some respects he might appear too tame and indifferent beside the more ardent and impassioned spirits of his party, but there was depth in his reserve and solidity in his calmness that more buoyant and animated natures often lack in the time of trial and the moment of dif ficultly. In the full noontide of the electioneering strife of last autumn he was perfectly composed, and when he met Mr. GLADSTONE at a public dinner in his own county, which bore the burden and heat of the strife, he was as self-possessed as if the victory was well assured to his party. In the course of his remarks on the foreign policy of the country, he said in the most offhand way pos sible, " Whether the conduct of such an affair is entrusted to me or to some colleague of the right hon. gentleman near me," and so on. It may be said on one side that this somewhat apathetic course takes away from the excitement and interest of poli tics; but, on the other hand, it can be affirmed that what is lost in daring is gained in dignity, and that public life is thereby redeemed from the charge of being a " common party race." We must remember, too, that Lord STANLEY has been sought for by various places ; he was requested to stand for the City, and again he was earnestly en treated to represent Marylebone, the best compliment that could be paid to his chances of success might be found in the eagerness with which his competitors put forward his refusal. He was constant to Lynn, and Lynn was true to him, and the connection has closed in sorrow, but also in satisfaction. Amid the disgraceful revelations which have been disclosed to us by the recent Election Commissions, it is indeed refreshing to turn to one constituency which could pass unscathed through any ordeal, and face the col- NATIONAL EDUCATION UNION. The Manchester Congress of the National Education Union resumed its sittings on Thursday, the Hon. Algernon Egerton, M.P., taking the chair. He referred in his open ing speech to the address of Lord Robert Montague on the previous day which he feared would lead people to imagine that the present state of education was more satisfactory than it really was. Any scheme proposed for the improvement of popular education should, he thought, be threefold. First, it should aim at increasing the effi ciency of the present existing schools; secondly, at pro viding masters and mistresses in larger number; and, thirdly, at sweeping up the residuum that never went to school at all. Mr. Egerton said he believed that on the whole the tone of our schools had improved rather than deteriorated, a statement which called forth mingled expressions of approval and dissent. All persons were, he thought, agreed that a number of children made the streets, not only their playground, but their only means of education. He had taken great interest in the question, and had put his name on Mr. Bruce's bill, which had been partly misunderstood. It was a Permissive Bill only, though many gentlemen thought it would lead to the eventual substitution of schools supported by rates. In Mr. Bruce's bill the rates were to be applied to the educa tion of all persons; but the National Education League would apply them to the pauper and criminal population only. Mr. Bruce's bill was not likely to work so well in rural districts as in the large towns. The principal point which they were mot to discuss was the practicability of extend ing the factory system of education. Mr. Egerton, in con clusion, adverted to the ignorance which prevailed in the mining districts, and insisted on the neces sity for educating the mining population. Colonel Ackroyd, M.P., read an interesting paper on the practical results of the factory system of education, and said that, like all educational measures, the Act worked but slowly. There were defects which might be remedied, but the system had special advantages, for it combined industrial training with scholastic instruction, and 0,,1 .to,l -kho ottcntion of employers, compelling them, in their own interestp, to take part in the education of the people Mr. Redgrave, the chief inspector of factories, read a paper on the half-time system, which, he said, had worked most satisfactorily in Lancashire and Yorkshire. He proposed that for agricultural labourers no attendance at schools should be compulsory during certain months, but that no child should be allowed to work in the fields who had not attended school regularly during the winter. Subsequently Dr. Rigg, principal of the Wesleyan Training College, Westminster read a paper on compulsory education, ' which was, lie thought, impracticable. It must, if tried at all, be applicable to all classes, and would not, with its necessarypolice supervision,be tolerated in ourlarge centres of industry. Mr. Ford, the secretary of the Reformatory and Refuge Union,thought that the Industrial Schools Act of 1866 would, if properly applied, clear our thoroughfares of "street Arabs," and the same branch of the subject was taken up in a paper by Mr. John MACGREGOR, proprietor of the Rob Roy Canoe. If one-tenth of the trouble and talent now expended on the detection of crime were devoted to the discovery of the causes of ignorance, destitution, and vice, there would be a vast improvement of our town popu lations. The Right Hon. W. CowPim, M.P., who presided at the afternoon sitting, said that in dispensing with voluntary effort they took a dangerous step towards the destruction of self-respect and independence, and the production of pauperism in the working classes. They should not hastily rush into a system which would introduce foreign ideas and habits into the country. Later in the day the Rev. Canon Beechey gave an account of the efforts made by the Bridgwater Trustees for the education of the children of colliers in their employment. Not half the collier boys in their employ attended the night schools provided for them, and if the employers endeavoured to compel their attendance, the men would strike in a body. —Mr. GAINSFORD, of Sheffield, examined the experience of foreign countries in secular and denominational education, and said that the latter had become universal wherever practicable. Mr. Oliver, secretary of the Wesleyan Educa tion Committee, protested against compulsory attendance at Sunday schools, and after some further discussion on the objects of the Union, resolutions were passed adopting its general principles, and the proceedings terminated. Mr. Charles Dickens is, according to the Athenaum, engaged on a new story. The work will come out in the old serial form, the first part to appear in March. A mill, near Oldham, said to contain 40,000 gpindleP, has been nearly destroyed by firo, and the damage is estimated at £30,000. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is still enjoying the pleasures of field sports on the Willerby and Seamer estates of Lord Londesborough, near Scarborough, and his visit is likely to be continued for a few days longer. The United Kingdom Alliance have held a meet ing in the Workmen's Hall, Birkenhead, in support of the Permissive Prohibitory Bill. Resolutions were passed call ing upon Legislators and Statesmen to provide a remedy for the great national vice of intemperance, and entreating those members of Parliament who had already supported the Per missive Bill to continue their efforts until that measure, or a similar one, was embodied in the legislatoion of the country. THE EMPRESS AT CONSTANTINOPLE.—In the Standard of Monday last are described some of the arrangements made by the Sultan for the entertain ment recently of his fascinating and illustrious guest, as follows:—The palace of Beylerbey, where the Em press was lodged, is furnished with all the luxury of the East, combined with the good taste of Europe. The Empress expressed her admiration of this magnificent re sidence. The Imperial bedroom is superb. The canopy of the bed is of the finest Cashmere, supported by four pillars, and having in the centre a crescent of the purest gold. The livery of the servants attached to the Imperial service cost £2,000. These magnificent liveries, it will be recollected, were exhibited to the public by the manu facturers, the well-known firm of D. Nichol' and Co., the extensive wholesale clothiers of Fall-street, Wood-street, Cheapside, early in September last, invitation to inspect them having been given by public advertisement in the London papers. These gorgeous liveries were prepared and manufactured by Messrs. Nicoll, the wholesale manu facturers, as is their custom, for one of their agents, the old established firm of Laurie, of Constantinople, by whom the Sultan was directly supplied. Messrs. Nicoll also are the patentees of the rug palotot, an article which appears to supply a public want, as a great and general demand has arisen for it which much enlivens that branch of trade, and gives welcome employment to numbers who have been suffering in the great general depression. [ADVE3tTISENIENT.—HOIIOWay'B Ointment and Pills.— Scarlatina a•ad Diphtheria.—These two formidable dis ea,es are now as prevalent and as fatal as they were dur ing last alttainn. In the bills of mortality deaths from s allot fever and diphtheria weekly show their fatal cha racter; to check their debilitating and dangerous course nothing has yet proved itself so efficacious as Holloway's detergent preparations. The Oiatineut, diligently rubbed on the neck and chest, being absorbed, penetrates each gland and capillary, corrects in them all inflammatory ten dency, extrudes all noxious matters, and at once heals up any diphtheric ulcers, and prevents the extension through out the throat. At the same time the administration of the Pills by purifying the blood vastly assists the curative effect of the Ointment. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. A new line of telegraphic communication with Europe, vid Russia, was opened a week or two ago, and other lines being for a while interrupted, a good many messages have come by it. It is but due to it that we should acknow ledge in our overland summary the remarkable service it has rendered to India as a means of transmitting public news and private aclvices.

THE BETHELL CASE IN THE COMMON PLEAS. On Friday, in the Common Pleas, Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., applied for a rule to shew cause why a verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff in an action, "Morris v. Bethell:' The action was heard at the Middlesex Assizes before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a jury, and was brought by the defendant against the Hon. Slingsby Bethell, to recover the sum of £3OO on an acceptance. The defendant had in the previous year paid a bill accepted in his name, but the signature of which was not in his handwriting ; in fact the signature was his brother's handwriting, and without his authority. Having paid the bill in the previous year, drawn under similar circumstances, it was contended by the learned counsel before the jury that he had, by adopting the signature in the first instance, barred himself from denying it in the second. The jury found to the contrary, and returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Huddlestone now moved for a rule pursuant to leave c f the judge as stated. Lord Chief Justice Bovill said the case was very properly left to the jury and not to the judge. and the rule must therefore be dismissed. THE BRIDGWATER ELECTION COMMISSION. In the Court et Queen's Bench en Friday, before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Mellor, Lush, and Hannen, Mr. H. James, Q.C., on the part of Mr. Henry Lovibond. solicitor, of Bridgwater, moved for a rule, calling upon Mr. Price, Q.C., Mr. Chishholm, Anstey and Mr. C. Coleridge, to shew cause why a mandamus should not issue against them to compel them to give a:certificate of indemnification to the applicant. The learned counsel said that Mr. Lovibond had on two occasions been refused a certificate by the commissioners. Mr. Lovibond had given evidence that, without doubt, in criminated him, and the commissioners did not even say that his answers were untrue, but that they were unsatis factory. Applicant was the agent to one of the members who was unseated by the election judge. Before Mr. Lovibond was examined, the Chief Commissioner said that being a solicitor he would perhaps save the Commissioners the trouble of cross-examination by stating all ho knew. Besides he (the learned counsel) might argue as to how far a false answer might be an answer under the Act. The Lord Chief Justico : It never could have been meant that if a man spoke what was not true he should have a certificate. Mr. James would not go into that, but would contend that the Commissioners had no option but to grant a cer tificate, as he had answered to the best of his knowledge, skill, and belief. The Lord Chief Justice said he would grant a rule nisi. RATES OF FREIGHT AND CHARTER. (I•'c the Shipping ah,l Mercantile Gazette) The tonnage loading on the berth for India, China, and the Cape of Good Hope amounts to r 0,187 tons, and for Australia and New Zealand to 30,034 tons. Dulness prevails in the freight market, and there is at present little prospect of any real amendment. Eastern coal freights show no material alteration, though there is a disposition on the part of the charterers for one or two ports to give a point or so above the quotations last given. £23 has been done for Point de Galle from the Tyne, and 235. is offered from Wales. For Singapore 255. is the rate at which the last charter was effected. £25 would be given for Aden, and a nearly equivalent freight is offered for same port from Wales. Operations in homeward chartering are few, the last advices from the East bringing dull reports of the condition of trade in the Indian and China Seas. There is little more inquiry for forward tonnage from Colombo. There are but few orders just now for tonnage to load iron for the United States. Vessels are offered at 17s. Gd. and 5 per cent. from Middlesborough to New York, 19s. to 20s. and 5 per cent to Bangor, and 18s. and 5 per cent to New Orleans. Berth freights present a rather firmer aspect. River Plate coal freights are easier; 235. from Cardiff to Monte Video direct has been done this week, but this figure is no longer obtainable, and 265. 6d. to 275. is about the out side to be had. For Rio Janeiro 245. can now be done for ready tonnage, and 17s. for Bahia, cargo free from along side. Vessels are in some request homewards for sugar and cotton at 425. 6d. and 465. and 9-16ths respectively. From the West Indies there are more orders, although the chartering is yet far from wearing an earnest appear ance. From Havana 435. 6d. sugar in boxes is being paid. In another mail or so things will probably assume a better tone. Outward freights from the Tyne are scarce, and those from Wales aro low. The West Coast of America business presents no feature worthy of remark. Rates for coal to Constantinople, Odessa, and the other Black Sea coal ports rule firm, as a slight advance on the last quotation ; whilst those for the Mediterranean ports and Alexandria have also an upward tendency. There are some orders from the Black Sea for spring shipment at ss. Od. from Kustendje, 6s. Sulina ; Azoff 365. per ton wheat, and Odessa at 375. 6d. T.T. Rates from the Baltic for steamers loading oats or lin seed are good, more especially from Riga and Cronstadt. Requirements for iron outwards are all but satisfied. ENTHRONEMENT OF DR.. MOBERLY AS BISHOP OF SALISBURY.—In pursuance of the mandate issued to the Dean and Chapter, the enthronisation of the above Right Rev. Prelate is fixed to take place in the cathedral at Salisbury on Saturday, the 13th of the present month. ... The man Hitchcock, who was in the custody of the authorities of Belper, on a charge of wife murder under circumstances which were reported on Friday, has committed suicide. In the temporary abs ence of the police superintendent, the prisoner hanged himself by hip neckerchief to the bars of the cell window. The Orangemen of Belfast held a demonstration on Friday night in the Ulster Hall, in celebration of the stb of November, Mr. W. Johnston, M.P., presiding. Among the speakers were Messrs. Edward Wingfield Verner, M.P. John Guy Ferguson, Governor of the Apprentice Boys Londonderry, and Captain W. Madden, Hilton Park Clones. A GREAT CHANCE FOR AMATEUR DRAMATISTS —A great chance is opening out for the plaintive tribe of amateur dramatists; a chance which the Great Unread will probably seize with avidity. In its last number the Gaiety Gazette offered, for the fee of one guinea per drama to receive and guarantee the examination of such plays at might be sent in to that journal, the examination to be made by any one gentleman on the staff of the paper. Ar the names of Boucicault, Byron, Oxenford, Planclal Robertson, and Watts Phillips, are included in the Gaiety staff, the judgment of the examiners as tc the merits of MSS. submitted to them must at least be held practical and above suspicion. In the event of any MSS. being found meritorious in the opinion of the examiner selected by the candidate, Mr. Hollingshead har placed at the disposal of the editor of the Gaiety Gazette the use of his theatre for a morning performance of the approved play, the author paying salaries and making hie own arrangements as to company and band. This propo sition was advertised last Friday, and already we hear of several MS. plays having been sent in to the Gaiety Gazette the feo prepaid. We wish editor, examiner, author, ane manager joy of their bargain, and anticipate some fur if a morning pqe.r_manee ever Cornea off. Where is Dr VaUcre? (D:l:r it HER MAJESTY.
