MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. During the last few days there has been in creased activity in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Market. Sugars have been in more request, and the finer descriptions have realised advanced values. Coffee, owing to the large quantity an nounced for public safe, has been neglected ; and tea, in the absence of advises from China, and pending the quantity to be submitted to public competition at the sales to-day, has also been dull. 'Rice has continued in demand at fully the late advance, and a fair amount of business has been done in fruit. At the public sales of cinnamon rather higher rates were obtained than those rea lised at the last July auctions. Saltpetre has been in steady request ; and for tallow there has still continued a good speculative demand. Prices continue steady at 595. 3d. per cwt. on the spot, and for spring delivery. The next public sales of foreign and colonial wool will commence on the 15th November, and the quantity to be offered is about 40,000 bales, nearly the half of which is from the Cape of Good Hope. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. Notice has been given that 15 Swedish Provincial Mortgage Bonds of 1852, amounting to £2,950, will be paid off at par on the Ist of December next. To-day a call of £2 10s., amounting to £206,250, is due on the London, Chatham, and Dover Metro politan Extension B shares. A meeting has been called for Friday next of the First-class Preference Bondholders of the Grand Trunk of Canada Railway. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday great excitement prevailed, and prices advanced id. to Id. per lb., owing to the confirmation of the re ported severe frost in the Southern States of America. The sales amounted to 25,000 bales. Money continues in steady request, but notwith standing the accommodation that will be required at the end of the week for the bills due on the 4th, the rates continue steady, and without any symp toms of an upward tendency. The traffic receipts of the Great Northern Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 12th inst. 'exhibited an increase of £1,595, compared with the same period last year. Owing to some purchases of stock for investment, allowed by a few others on speculative account, the funds have advanced a per cent., Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and 931 for the December account. A much better feeling prevails, not only in this department, but also in the Foreign Stock and Railway markets. The New Threes are firm at 911 1, the Reduced at 911 1 ; the New 21 per Cents. are 771, and Exchequer Bills are steady at 2s. dis. 2s. prem. ; Bank Stock has receded to 231; India ditto has improved to 220 to 221, and ditto New Loan remains at 103. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues quiet, and prices generally show rather less heaviness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 701; ditto New, 551 to 56 ; and the 4 per Cents. are 1011 4 ; Mexican are flat, at 221; Spanish, at 481 ; Venezuelan 21 per Cents. are firm, at 221 ; Buenos Ayres at 94i, and Brazilian 41 per Cents. at 881. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 to 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, t 1 prem. ; and the Universal, prem. The detAlings in the Railway Share Market have been chiefly connected with the arrangements in progress for the liquidation of the account, and prices in some instances have shown an improving tendency. Great Westerns, North Westerns, South Westerns, and Midlands have declined ss. ; North Eastern (Berwick), ss. to 10s.; and South Eastern, 108. Eastern Counties, however, have declined ss. The Foreign Market has continued very dull. Bahia and San Francisco realise 81 ; and San Paulo, 1. In the Colonial undertakings prices have been a shade firmer. Grand Trunk of Canada Stock has improved to 231 241 ; and Great Western of Canada to 13 1 I . East Indian are steady at 100. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive, and remain at former quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. BankStook 3 per Cont. Reduced Annuities 9l/ f 3 per Cent..

THE BARON DE BUNSEN.—We hear with sincere regret that the illness under which Baron Bunsen has been for some time suffering has suddenly taken so dangerous a turn that the absent members of his family have been sum moned to the family residence at Bonn ; only, it is feared, to be present a t th e d e athbed of thi s di s ti ng uished man, whose loss would be lamented by a large circle of friends in England, CR ESS.--HORWITZ V. KOLISCH.—The result of the first day's play in this great match has been a defeat for M. Rorwite. He resigned the game after the 34th move.

WATCh ROMIERY.—John Lloyd was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a watch. The prosecutor, Joseph William Frond, said—l live at 40, Chandos-street, St. Martin's-lane, and em a copper smith. On the night of the 22d, about eleven o'clock, I was in the act of fastening my door, and hearing voices outside I opened it, and a female tried to force herself in. I struggled to prevent her, but in an instant she desisted in her attempt, and ran away as fast as she could. I looked down and found my watch-chain hanging down without my watch on it. I then followed the female, and when she had got about 200 yards off I saw her stop and turn back and hand something to the prisoner, and he in stantly ran away. I followed him up a narrow court into Bedfordbury to May's. build inge, through there to St. Martin's-lane, where he turned round, and was taken into custody about 30 yards from May's-buildings. He was taken to Bow-street, and wben I was preferring the charge, my watch, the one now produced, was brought in by Sad ler. It is a silver one, and I valued it at about £3. I was looking over the woman's shoulder when I saw her hand something to tho prisoner. I could not see what it was, but I distinctly saw her hand him something. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the pri soner—ln turning the corner I might have lost sight of the prisoner. I did not see him throw anything away. He might have done so without my seeing him. The spot where the watch was picked up was described to me, and the prisoner passed about two yards from it, George Sadler said—l live at 7, Bedfordbury. I was at the corner of St. Martin's-lane and May's-buildings the night in question, and saw a crowd of persons running, and heard the crowd crying " Stop thief." I saw the prisoner after he was stopped. After he was taken to the station house I picked up, about 20 or 30 yards from where the prisoner was taken, the silver watch I now produce, and took it to the station. The crowd had ran over the spot where the watch was lying. Jeremiah Murphy—As the prisoner ran out of May's buildings, I was near the spot and caught him in my arms. He was then taken to the station-house. Police-constable F 44, produced the watch. The female escaped. Polise-constable 108 M, said the prisoner Was one of the worst characters in the Borough, no Was the associate of burglars, thieves, and prostitutes. lie was indicted at the sessions some time ago, with others, for the murder of Mr. Bellchambers, but he was acquitted. Since then he had been concerned in several robberies, and housebreaking im plements had been found on his person. He was one of the most desperate men he ever met with. Mr. Corns said the account of the prisoner was so dan . gerous that he should commit him for trial. Mr. Lewis asked the magistrate to dispose of the matter summarily. Mr. Corrie deelined to do so, and the fellow wee accord• ingly committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STltttP. CAVIL CASE or WirE DESERTION.—John Cain, a tailor, residing at 13, Little Drummond-street, Euston-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with deserting his wife, and leaving her and his four children chargeable on the parish of St. James's. Richard Dyer, gate porter at St. James's Workhouse, said about 10 o'clock the previous night he went to 13, Little Drummond-stroet, Euston-square, where he found the prisoner—against whom there was a warrant out for deserting his wife and children—in bed with a female. He at once took him into custody. His wife had been relieved at the workhouse for some time, and had, since the prisoner deserted her, buried one child, and had at the present time another lying dead. The prisoner was in work at Mr. Cave's, tailor, Argyle-street. The prisoner said he had made the parish an offer of ss. a week, but they refused to take it. _ _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said if he could not settle with the parish he would go for a month, and that every time he came be fore him. Dyer said when he took the prisoner into custody the woman took a watch and chain from his neck, and said she would come to the court and settle it for him that morning. One of the parish officers here left the court with the prisoner, and shortly after returned, saying he could come to no arrangement with him. The wife, a pale, careworn looking woman, said it was through want and the prisoner's cruelty her children were dead. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would commit him for a month. TIES DAY'S MARKETS.

TEA.—The market has remained very quiet owing to the large quantity to be offered at public sale to -day ; prices, however, have been steadily maintained. SUGAIt.—A fair amount of business has been done in the better descriptions at slightly enhanced rates, and, in the refined market, increased activity has been apparent, holders refusing to sell unless at higher prices. COFFEE.—In the private market the dealings have been limited owing to the large quantity announced for public competition during the present week; prices, however, are flat. The stocks on hand, compared with those of the same period of last year, show a falling off of 3,400 tons. RICE.—The inquiries for good and medium qualities have been on the increase, and the late advance has been fully sustained. FRUIT.—A steady business has been done in currants, and Valencia raisins continue in good demand, at full values. SALTPETRE.—The market has been steady, previous quotations being realised for all qualities. TALLOW.—A fair amount of business has been done for consumption. Speculative business has been moderate, and owing to the high prices ruling at St. Petersburg, full rateshave been current he re . P.Y.C., on th e spot, 59s 3d, and spring delivery 59s 3d per cwt. A STRONG WILL AND A FAIR TlDE.—Under this title the great niece of the celebrated Lawrence Sterne, author of " The Sentimental Journey," has given us a novel of immense talent and interest—a novel that, for brilliancy of colouring, charming descriptions of scenery, a clear perception of men and things, and a rare talent for fun and pathos, will add fresh lustre to the name of Sterne. SACRILEGE AT ST. MART'S CHURCH, OLD KENT Roan. The Rev. W. Snape, M.A., the incumbent of the above church, on Sunday informed the congregation that an entrance had been forced into the sacred building on Friday night last, and a number of the books belonging to seat-holders stolen. The affair is in the hands of the police, who will, we hope, be successful in discovering the robbers. ROBBERY OF ONE THOUSAND POUNDS' WORTH OF JEWELLERY.—On Friday night, between half-past seven and eleven o'clock, the shop of Mr. Batty, jeweller, Albert bridge, Manchester, was broken into by thieves, who carried away jewellery to the value of £l,OOO. The entrance to the premises was gained at the back by breaking a pane of glass in one of the windows and lifting the latch of the door. Between the shop of Mr: Batty and that of Mr. Goadsby is a shop recently occupied by a tobacconist, but now closed, though some of the stock still remains. The thieves appear to have entered this shop from the street, and passed out at the back, and then climbed over a very high wall, to get to the back of Mr. Batty's premises. Having once opened the back door at Mr. Batty's, they passed without encountering any obstacle, into the shop, where they selected the follow ing watches and articles of jewellery :—One gold verge watch, two silver lever watches, one silver Geneva watch, 120 to 130 gold guard chains, 80 gold rings, a quantity of seals and keys, a case of gold lockets, and 40 gold breast pins, valued at £l,OOO. From the state in which the shop has been left it is surmised that the thieves were not long on the premises. A young man, an assistant in the shop, whose duty, it is said, was to take care of the premises, was absent from half-past seven to half-past eleven o'clock, and on his return he discovered the robbery. During the even , ing some policemen on duty found that the shop adjoining was unlocked. From a cursory examination all appeared right, and they secured it with a chain and staple, the usual method in such cases. As yet no clue whatever has been discovered which is likely to lead to the apprehension of the robbers. A reward of £lOO has been offered.—Manchester Guardian. FUNDS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OF NAPLES. — The Tatrie publishes the following letter from Gaeta The Minister of Police of Garibaldi having heard that considerable sums had been accumulated by the Princes of the House of Bourbon to the prejudite of the people, ado pt ed measures to procure their restitution to the state. The official report on the subject particularly alludes to the transfer of two rentes, amounting, one to 184,000 ducats (4f. 39c. each), and the other to 317,000, the annual produce of the majorats and private savings of the Royal House, and estimates the capital of them at 11 millions of ducats. But the former of these rentes represents the inheritance left by Ferdinand 11. to his ten children and to the poor, the fruit of the savings of 30 years by the late King. As to the latter of 317,000 ducats, it is composed for the most part of tho majorats and dowries of the Princes and Princesses of the Royal family—majorats constituted in virtue of the old laws of the country. This important sum represented sav ings made in favour of orphans, and devoted to the wants of their infants. There is, in fact, only 5,415 ducats be longing to the King—savings of the civil list which he received as Hereditary Prince, and 67,000 ducats of inte rest and compound interest for 23 years, arising from the inheritance of his mother, the Princess of Savoy. This dowry of the Princess Marie Christina, established by a treaty with Sardinia, is therefore the inheritance of Francis 11., her only son, and it is a decree of Garibaldi which has confiscated it. Francis 11. made the sacrifice of this sum on the day when he refused to sell his rentes and invest them abroad ; and, moreover, whatever may have been said on the subject, it is but just to declare that his Majesty re fused to take out of the country any of the property which was in his possession." The ancient laws of the kingdom of Naples contain no enactment whatever relative to the children of the Royal family. When Ferdinand 11. f oun d that his child ren were becoming numerous, he published of his own authority, in 1836, a decree constituting a majo rat of 590,000 ducats, taken from the State Treasury, for each child then existing or to be born, which sum was to increase by the annual interest until the child became of age. As to the savings of tke late King, the Court of Naples never had a civil list properly so called, but drew its income from the Customs receipts and the surplus of the different budgets at the end of the year. ERA '4LY. The Constitutionnel reverts to its late ftrticle on Italy, and replies at some length to vari9us objec tions brought against the opinions which. were set forth in that sort of political manifesto. We con sider it unnecessary to follow our contemporary in its euumeration of the arguments brought against it; we shall confine ourselves to its observations on the proposal for a European Congress to settle the Italian question. It says : " Austria had lost all right of intervention in Italy, and France, who had made war for an idea, could not, with good policy and sound morality, arrogate to herself a right which she had resisted in another. It was they that, to promote a com promise which was becoming urgent, the pam phlet appeared which is now incriminated. Far from raising new obstacles to the meeting of the Congress for which all Europe was anxious, the author demonstrated its pressing necessity, and endeavoured to indicate a practical solution. There was indeed a formal difficulty in this com promise; it was to know whether the Pope, in vested with the twofold character of ?Pontiff' and Prince, would consent to recognise the exclusively political jurisdiction of the Congress. On that point the eloquent writer did not hesitate, he fully admitted the absolute competence of assembled Europe. With singular inconsistency, he is never theless now accused of having denied the rights of the Great Powers, aroused their fears, and dis couraged their efforts. To tell the truth, this accu- sation is not more paradoxical nor more unjust than that brought against our own re cent article. In what way, we would ask of all honest men, can that article disturb Europe, and prevent it from at last per forming the duties imposed on it by social solida rity and the care of its own safety F" The ConstituUonne/ concludes as follows : " The conqueror of Solferino, faithful to his Im perial programme, and truly worthy of the title of peacemaker, was of opinion that a third manner of arranging matters was practicable. He accepted Lombardy, as Austria, according to usage, would transfer to none but France, but, immediately, and without reserve of any sort, he gave up to Pied mont the prize of our common victories. At the same time he made known to Europe the generous motives of conduct so disinterested. He did not conceal that in the interest of peace and the balance of power, he thought the moment come when Italy, no lcnger belonging to any one, would be her own mistress. But that was henceforth an exclusively international question, and he *as bound to leave to th• great Powers the task of deciding the political character and rank of the new State. What was there alarming or irregular in such a declara tion ? In the last century, when it was proposed to transform the Electorate of Brandenburg into the kingdom of Prussia, no such scruples were en tertained, nor any such precautions taken. Can it be that we of the present time lie open to the re proach of manifesting more respect for established rights and old treaties than our predecessors showed ? On the other hand, the exposition pub- lished in our journal has called attention to what has happened in the Italian peninsula since then, and has imputed the responsibility to thetlelays and perhaps the indifference of Europe. It is ob jected that the complicity of the French Govern ment is alone to blame. How and why ?" Our contemporary purposes giving the reply to that query iu another article. The next colonial wool sales are fixed for Thurs day, the 15th of November. According to a circular of Messrs. Winans and Overbury the quantity arrived since the last sales is 35,317 bales, of which 19,981 are from the Cape, and the remainder from Australia. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.—We are requested to state that the Berwick-upon-Tweed Bribery Commissioners will meet for the examination of witnesses in No. 10 Com mittee-rooni, in the House of Commons, on Wednesday, October 31, at 11 a.m. The news from Italy says the Piedmontesb had, on the 26th, surprised a force of 12,000 Neapolitans near Sessa, who were retreating on Gaeta. An engagement took place, King Victor Emmanuel commanding in person. The Piedraontese were soon masters of the position, with 2,000 prisoners. The King could not have reached Naples to-day, as expected. nV A TTT lII' A LIVEIIPOOL DOCTOR IST DM) IN N GI. —On Saturday afternoon the body of an elderly man, re spectably attired, was found floating in the Trafford Dock, Liverpool. On the body being taken to the dead-house it was examined by several medical gentlemen, and ultimately recoguisiod as that of Dr. Gilmour, of 19, Upper Parlia ment-street. How the decsased fell into the dock is at pre sent a mystery; the face was much marked and bruised, and the general appearance of the body indicated that it had not long been in the water. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Friday afternoon the Rev. James Wilson Gawn master of the Trowbridge Grammar School, whilst out for riding exercise in the drive through the park of Walter Long, Esq., M.P..; was found lying flat on his face in a pool of blood, quite ilead. This discovery was made by Joyce, the man at the lodge, to whom ho had been talking only about a quarter of angiour before, His horse galloped back up the road to the lodge when Joyce found the rev. gentlemen, about half - -a mile from the lodge, lying in a pool of blood. Ho loudly called for help, and assistance having been rendered the body was taken home, and it is supposed that he ruptured a blood vessel and fell from his horse and was suffocated. The grief occasioned at the school among the boys was very great, the rev. gentleman being a very kind and affectionate master, and was well beloved and much respected in the town. This makes the fourth sudden death in the town during the week.—Salisbury Journal. SIX. PERSONS POISONED BY CHEESE.--Several cases of poisoning, happily not accompanied by fatal results, took place in Glasgow on Saturday night. On that evening information was received at the central police office that several parties residing in Prince's-street and Saltmarket had been taken seriously ill, the supposition being that they had been poisoned. Dr. M‘Gill and Dr. Chalmers, of Tron gate, at once visited the individuals, and found that the in formation was but too correct. From the symptoms exhi bited, the medical gentlemen conjectured that the sufferers had been arsenically poisoned, and they administered ac cordingly. After considerable exertion all the parties were placed beyond the reach of danger, and it is now hoped that they are on the fair way towards recovery. The cheese from which the portions had been taken was but newly cut, and it appeared to be a Dunlop of good quality. The one, as well as several others in the shop where it was purchased, of the same make, have been taken possession of by the police, and will be submitted to a ehemical analysis. A SHORT LEADING ARTICLE.—A recent number of the indipendente, the journal founded at Naples by Alex andre Dumas, contains the following article. It has, at all events, the merit of brevity :—" Some people of Naples complain of there being no Government • but if we count all now existing there are four at least That of Victor Emmanuel, who is now in the kingdom ; 2. Of King Francis 11., at Gaeta ; 3. The Dictator's, at Caserta ; and 4. The Pro-Dictator's, at Naples. All these are without counting the Ministers, who are now Ido not know where. A. D." THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Mr. Thwaites, the President of the Metropolitan Board of 'Works, has received a communication from the Right Hon. William Cowper, the First Commissioner of Works, &c., stating the views of the Government on the subject of the Thames embankment. A special meeting of a Committee of the whole Board was at once convened to consider the communication, and the course resolved to be pursued in reference thereto will, no doubt, lead to the realisation of this greatly needed work, in conjunction with the construction of the low level main sewer along the bank of the Thames, instead of bringing this great sewer along the Strand, Fleet-street, &c., as originally proposed. THE WAR IN CHINA.--A return has been made up at the War-office which shows the sums that have been voted by Parliament to meet the expenses of hostilities in China. There is a sum of £850,000 which was required to cover deficiencies in the estimates of last year, arising from the expense of preparing, during last winter, for these ope rations; there is a sum of £1,111,920, being, as nearly as can be calculated, the additions made to the army and navy estimates of the current year on account of the contem plated operations; and there are grants made during the Session to the extent of £4,206,104 on estimates submitted to meet the expense of these hostilities. These sums, which are not stated to be other than cumulative items, together amount to £6,168,024, in addition to which there have been votes of credit to the amount of £3,356,104, making up a total not very far from £lo,ooo,ooo—the ehtire produce of the year's income-tax. 'TILE LOSS OF THE CONNAIIGHT.—Captain Leitch and part of the crew of the Connaught were passengers in the Canada. The steamer had on board about £lO,OOO in specie, which Mr. Ditchfield, the purser, made strong efforts to save. 'We learn this amount is insured, as well as the ship. Just at a moment when the sea was running high, aid the waves dashing against the vessel with great force, an attempt was made to place a woman in a lifeboat ; but, un fortunately, she lost her foothold and was precipitated into the sea. Nothing daunted at the terrific nature of the elements jest then, Mr. Ditchfield, the purser, divested himself of some superfluous clothing and sprang into the water after the woman. It was now quite dark and dangerous; notwithstanding this Mr. Ditchflold succee ded in fiding the woman ; they both soon became visible, and on being promptly assisted were got on board the brigan tine in safety. Another woman, in attempting to get from the steamer into one of the boats, got caught between the tw, ad was greatl inured on both les, jus below the kn o ees. n Mr. Ditchfie y ld is a native of Live g rpool. t —Lireqool Post. OLD ENGLISH UNIFORIIIS.—It may be worth recording that our troops, at one period of their history, were distinguished by badges simila r to those worn by watermen of the present day. The colour of thei a r rt d o rr t s i e i s e appears to have been white ; though in 1544 a forces of Henry VIII. were ordered to be dressed in blue coats, guarded with red, w ithout badges ; the right hose red, and the left one blue. In 1584, Elizabeth commanded that the cassocks of the soldiers sent to Ireland should be a sad green or russet. The cloaks of the cavalry during her reign were red. In 1693, the dresses of the soldiers were gray, and those of the drummers purple.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—YESTERDAY. The Houghton settling, which occupied almost exclu sively the attention of the members throughout the after noon, did not pass over altogether satisfactorily. Many complaints were heard, and towards the end of the proceed lags, offers to sell absent accounts, at prices varying from 15s. to ss. in the pound, according to their respective merits, were made, and received with an ominous silence. It is to be hoped, however, that the fears entertained will ultimately prove to be groundless. There was scarcely any betting on future events, the subjoined list of quota tions constituting all the business transacted : WORCESTER HANDICAP. 4to 1 agst Defender (taken) 4to 1 agst Weatherbound (taken) LIVERPOOL CUP. 10 to 1 agst Sxmmerside (taken) 10 to 1 agst Chere Amie (taken) 12 to 1 agst Industrious (taken) 12 to 1 agst Killigrew (taken) 15 to 1 agst Light (taken) 15 to 1 agst Golden Pippin (taken) 15 to 1 agst Highwayman (taken) DERBY. 11 to 2 agst Dundee (taken and offered) 40 to 1 agst Matador (taken) 50 tc 1 agst Forester (taken) CITY BETTING—(' i ESTER DAT).

We had a very fall attendance to-day, many of the sub scribers for the purpose of facilitating the settling on the past week coming home before going to Worcester. There are not many but are losers on the great event, but so far everything has gone on very satisfactorily. Speculation on future events was not very brisk. 4to 1 was offered on the field for the Worcester Handicap, and a few animals were backed for the Liverpool Cup, the particulars of which will be best understood by referring to the quotations.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. The recent defeat of Thomas White, of Bermondsey, by the renowned James Chambers, of Newcastle upon-Tyne, while it added one laurel more to the extraordinary achieve ments of this great master of the art of rowing, reflected the greatest credit upon White's indomitable courage and desire to retrieve the character of London watermen, whe had hitherto shown themselves superior to the whole world. In order to testify their respect for White's strenuous endea vours to win, and to express their sympathy for his loss, which, in a pecuniary point of view, was considerable, the leading members of various gentlemen's clubs have en gaged Astley's Theatre for bis benefit to-morrow (Wednes day) night, when, in the course of " The Waterman," all the great rowing men of the day will appear in their liveries and badges. Apart from the operatic services of Mr. Augustus Braham, Mr. Morton, of the Canterbury Hall, a warm supporter of aquatic sports, has added Miss Russell and other talented singers of his company, and it is hoped poor White, who is an exceedingly well-behaved man, have a bumper. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £2O. A very pretty scullers' race, although for the above amount, which is small as stakes go in the present day, came off yesterday, the competitors being James Lewis and William Stratford, both of Lambeth, the former a barge builder, and the latter a waterman ; but although Lewis is over 30, and his opponent only 22, the fact of the former having rowed two or three races previously made him the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4, a state of odds which was war ranted, when it is known that this is Stratford's maiden effort. The men had taken cars of themselves since the making of the match, and came to their poste in excellent fettle, being accompanied as usual by cutters, while the Venus, Captain Sharplin, conveyed spectators to see the race. There was considerable dodeng4i# the Vei •itch ' 1 ;0 "old-'un" wanting a lead, which he got in the shape of half his length. The youngster, however, dashed after him, col lared him, and led by the same in 300 yaRP. Sharp practice, however, did not succeed so well as it ; -enerally does, for Lewis was "there" again in the next 209 yards, and after a clipping ding-dong race, led again, making the race in tensely exciting. Stratford put on the steam, and gradu ally came up again, and then there was another neck-and neck contest right away to Craven. Here youth began t• tell, and the young one again led, but was come time getting away, and although he led by three lengths at Hammersmith, Lewis rowed so good a stern race that he never allowed his opponent to get any great distance away, and Stratford won after a good race by four or five lengths. Ho trained at Salter's, the Feathers, - Wandsworth, and rowed in one of Salter's boats. The distance was Putney to Barnes, and Mr. Charles Newnham, referee. THE _ROBBERY OF £2,690 FROM A NOTTINGE2III" BOOKMAKE.R. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY. Yesterday, Mr. Nichols, who had been garotted at Newmarket and robbed of nearly £3,000 on the previous Friday, arrived in Nottingham. A brief outline of the affair has already appeared, partly incorrect. Mr. Nichols, however, gives the following version of the robbery :—On Friday night he went to an establishment in one of the main thoroughfares of Newmarket where sporting men are in the habit of assembling during the race meet ings at that town, and wrote a letter for transmis• sion by that evening's post to Nottingham. He then left the house and proceeded to the back of the premises, when he felt himself suddenly grasped tightly by the neck from behind, and in such a manner as to deprive him of all power of resistance, and indeed of capacity to give an alarm. At the same instant he saw a little man come in front of him and heard a voice say " Open his waistcoat." He then became insensible, and was unconscious of anything for some time. On recovering he found himself lying upon the ground with his clothes dis arranged, and on searching his pockets he dis covered that he had been robbed of his watch and the whole of his money (with the exception of 2d.), amounting to £1,840 ls. 6d. in beak notes, gold, and silver, and a cheque on Messrs. Moore and Robinson's bank for £B5O. No trace whatever o f _ the thieves could be found. It was ascertained. that two men had by the means of a ladder passed over a wall near the scene of the robbery,oneof the thence made their escape through a ho through inmates of which observed two fellobwuusrareo; in dark clothes, the other in light, sympathy was ex pressedne dressed the passage. The greatest leading men of the out rage, and Mr. Payne, one b o subscription with the sum of towards the victim f tboefhs flagrant turf, offered to head a also expressed their willing £so to reimburse members of the ring o a l e s for s his loss ; several other pie, It is satisfactory to ness to follow this personalexample, injuries are concerned, add that as far a °Manchester paper is exaggerated. the report in the Nichols Nichols has sustained no material injury from the ill-treatment . b he e r eceived ; none of his ribs are broken no r is way maimed or rendered incapable o • in any . f pursuing his ordinary avocati ons. His p e cuniary will, it is to be feared, b • r y losse Consider able a ny circumstances. Only o ne or two of the under a ban k notes in his possession can be id ent ifi ed, the nu mbers of the great bulk of them, which we believe he drew from Messrs. Moore and Robin son's b an k previous to his d e p ar t ure from New market, not being known. The cheque for £B5O will, of course, be unavailable to the thieves, as pa yment of it has been stopped. It is perhaps due to Nichols to state that, severe as his loss has been, he is, we understand, quite able to meet all his engagements. His heaviest losses at Newmarket amount to about £9OO, principally due to persons resident in Manchester, and this sun will be paid before Wednesday. His liabilities in Nottingham have already been discharged. The police are on the alert to discover the perpetrators of this daring outrage, and we understand there is some chance of their being detected. THE WARSAW CONFERENCES.—It is very gene rally asserted and believed that the failure of the Warsaw Conferences mainly arose from the prominence given by the Czar in the Imperial and Royal deliberations to a revision of the Treaty of Paris—that being the main object at pre sent of the policy of Russia. To the revision of the treaty, deemed necessary by Russia in satisfaction of its amour propre, the other potentates were unable to asfient.—Daily iffifot TILE ..(IXCLEXT CaYSTITUTIOIf O F lITLY-041.1a The following brief sketch of the National Char ter, which was based on the feudal system, may, perhaps, be acceptaoe to our readers : The principal prerogatives of the Crown were— the right to confer dignities, distinctions, and pri vileges, to dispose of the military power of the country, and to manage its foreign affairs. The King also, either directly or indirectly, appointed all civil functional ies, with the sole exception of the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown (Kronhuter), who were chosen by the estates out of a certain number of persons proposed by the Sovereign. Further, the King had the right in the time of war to summon all the nobles to take up arms (zur insurrection anfzufordern) to succeed to hereditary property in default of heirs (male or female), and to give it to Hungarians who had de served well of tb eir country, and to pardon any of his subjects wh o might offend against the laws. The Crown r.ominated the archbishops, bishops, and almost all the other ecclesiastical dignitaries. The Di , Jt consisted of representatives of the four estate.i el' the kingdom (Reichsstande), who were the Roy.nan Catholic and non-united Greek prelates, the magnates (Counts and Barons), the gentry or cavaliers, and the Royal free cities. The Diet he,d two Chambers, which were called the " Tefel" (board) of Magnates, and the " Tafel" of the Er,tates. The Palatine was the president of the Upper Cham ber, and a public functionary, who bore the, strange title of " Personal," presided in the Loveer House: The King was bound to be crowned in six months from the time of his accession to the throne, and to convoke the Diet once in every three years. The office of Palatine was not to be allowed to remain vacant more than a year. The Diet was convoked by means of so-called Royal " comital" letters, w hi ch were addressed to the general assemblies of the several counties, of which in the time of Ki n Stephen there w ere 72. At the openi ng of theg Diet the Royal propositions were read, and then examined by special committees. When the Royal propositions were disposed of, and not before, the Estates were at libetty to bring forward their griev ances, and to ask for redress. The votes were tahen as they are in England. When a bill had passed, both houses it required the Royal sanction before it could become a " Reiehsgestz" (a law of the land). The sittings were public. The Diet, usually sat two months. The matters within the Competence of the Diet were, affairs of legislation, including the imposition of taxes and the levy of recruits for the army, the coronation of the King, and the election, of the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown. No foreigner could obtain the Hungarian " In?,i genet" (letters of naturalisation) without the spe cial consent of the Diet. The electoral laws drawn up by the Diet in 1847 and 1848—to which the Emperor referred in one of his letters to - Baron Vay —did away with the special rights of the nobles and other privileged classes, and gave to all Hun garian citizens, if properly qualified., a right to take part in the elections. According to the Wanderer all persons who have attained tJaeir 20th year, and have never been punished for treason, murder, rob bery, arson, or smuggling, are electors— " a. If they, in common with their wives and children, possess a house or a piece of ground in a royal free city of the value of 300 fl. b. If they, as mechanics, tradesmen, or manufacturers have est a bli s h ments i n which they constantly employ one journeyman. e. If they have a certain annual revenue of 10011. from money in the funds, or from r ea l property. d. P hysicians, surgeons, lawyers, engineers, academical artists, professors, mem b ers of t h e Hungarian l societies ap )thecaries, rectors, chaplains village notaries, and schooltuaters, are entitled to a vote in those elective districts in which they reside. Every person who has completed his twenty-fourth year can be returned to the Diet, which—excluding Transylvania, but including the Banat and Voivodina, Croatia, and Sclavonia—is to con sist of 377 members." The counties were organised as follows :---The principal civil employe, called " 0 ber-gespa nn" (Lord-Lieutenant), was nominated by the Sove reign. Each county had two Vice-Gespanne (De puty Lieutenants), a notary public, a collector general of taxes, with several clerks, a controller of accounts, and several " fiscals" or solicitors for the poor. The County Court managed all matters of administration and police, and levied the taxes. Malefactors were also tried in the County Courts, but they had a right to appeal to a higher " in stance." All the employes in the counties, except ing, the " Ober-Gespanne" and the judges, were elected by the resident prelates, magnates, and gen try, and by the representatives of the Royal free cities. The county assemblies also elected the mem bers for the Diet. The counties were divided and sub divided into district, sub-districts, and communes. The chief of a district was called •' Stuhlrichter" (judge), and be had an assistant with the title of " Vice Stuhlrichter." The last-mentioned employe had the superintendence of the police, and they, with the assistance of a couple of permanent jury men ( Conn fats- Oeschworene) administered jr,stice. The Hungarian Court Chancellery, which is to the King of Hungary what the so-called "'Bohemian Court Chancellery" was to the Emperor of Austria, is composetl of a Chancellor, two Vice- Chancellors, 12 aulic councillors, and several secretaries and clerks. It upholds the prerogatives of the Crown, and is the organ by means of which the communica tion between the Sovereign and his Hungarian .subj43cts is kept up. The Hungarian Chancellor is here, but the King has a Stadtholderate at Buda, which is the highest political authority in the country. For the moment the Master of the Ex chequer (Tavernicorum Regalium Magister) will act as President of the Stadtholderate. TILE LATE FIRE AT THE SHAD WELL ROPER r. For several weeks since the fire has been extin guished in the premises of Messrs. Frost Brothers and Co , the well-known rope and ships' cable makers, of Sun Tavern-fi e ld s , Sh a d well, the fore men and workmen have been employed in remov ing the heavy iron machinery out of the partly destroyed buildings, and collecting together the jute, hemp, and flax, and placing it in lots. During the latter end of last week the men had succeeded in extricating from the machinery department of the works some tons' weight of ironwork ; but whilst they were yesterday actively engaged load ing barrows and wheeling them away from that par-. ticalar part of the ruins, and just as 12 men had started from the place with their barrows laden, an occur rence took place which threw the whole neighbour hood into a painful state of excitement. A man named Matthews and his son were both standing on the ground floor, collecting together the salvage hemp and jute from where the machinery stood, when a crash r esem bli ng a pea l o f t h un d er too k place, and e ver y fl oor f e ll to t h e groun d, i nc luding some of the sid e wa ll s .

They were removed w ith all ° d Y r e ed d a debris could be b t e o r b em e they were deemed to be in such a pre car i ous state possible care, and after being seen by that it was recommended they should be taken to the hospital. The father had his back fractured, and the son his legs broken. The internal • injuries they have received cannot at present be correctly ascertained ; but they are both described as being in a rapidly sinking condition. They were placed in the cabs that had been in attendance for some time, and removed to the London Hospital. It is supposed that the accident arose from removing the heavy machinery, which, in lowering, must have strained the walls dfi an oors. Had the other 12 men been there at that moment it is quite possible that a fearful loss of life would have occurred. THE FRENCH OPERA-HOUSE.—lnthenew French Opera-House about to be erected, says the Canstitutionnel, the electric telegraph will, it is said, play a very prominent part. An instantaneous line of communication is to be established between the Cabinet of the Minister of State and that of the director of the theatre ; a wiro will also run from the box-office to the principr' hotels, so that strangers will be able to engage places immediately on their arrival in Pr .•is, and by the aid of the same electric power the prompter will be enabled to give notice to the actors and actresses in their rooms when the curtain is about to rise.—Galignani. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—The Hotel de I'Univers, at Nisme, has been the scene of a frightful crime. T w o re ports of firearms were heard in the room occupied by a Mdlle. Brousse, daughter of the proprietor. The doer, which was fastened on the inside, was immediately broken open, aid a horrible spectacle presented itself. In a P ool of blood lay two bodies—on e th a t o f Mdll e . Brousse, aged 17, and the other that of Janvier G auqu il, aged 3 3 , a w aiter of the Hotel. This tragic event is said to have taken place under the following circumstances :—The violent and quar. relsome disposition of G a u qu il had given rise to many com plaints since he had been in the house, a period ofl2months, and Madame Brousse had determined on dismissing him, and two days before gave him notice to that effect. The fact of his having made an offer of marriage to the daughter is also said to have been a nother motive for his discharge; breastkn eofwnhisfovir victims piety but be that as it may,. ho appear! to have decided on taking vengeance on the family.
