The arrivals of specie from abroad have included £16,890 by the steamer Donau, from New York, the same vessel bringing £2,460 for Paris, and a small parcel for Bremen. The traffic of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company shows a decrease of £904. The decrease in the case of the South-Eastern Railway is £1,221. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, Dec. 3, a special settling day in the shares of the British Indian Extension Telegraph Com pany (Limited)—to be officially quoted. The Board of Trade returns for the month and ten months ended 31st October have been issued, and present but little variation compared with previous returns. They do not, however, show any improvement in the state of business. The total declared value of exports for the mouth of the present year was £16,454,896 against £16,876,898 in 1868, and £15,849,142 in 1867, which is a decrease compared with the former period of £422,002, and an increase contrasted with the latter of £605,754. At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. S. Rigg, manufacturer, of Bradford, on Saturday, the state ment of affairs showed liabilities £8,098 and assets £1,697, which, after all deductions, would afford a dividend of 3s. 3d. in the pound. After con- siderable discussion the meeting separated with out coming to any decision as to the course to be adopted. It is stated that Messrs. Shaw and Thomson, of Leadenhall-street, iron merchants, have undertaken to act as advisers and agents of the Admiralty in the disposal of the large stock of surplus iron stores at the dockyards, in which are embraced the quan tities that have obtained notoriety as " Seeley's pigs." It is stated that the arrangements as to the German American Telegraph Cable have not been accurately represented. A concession has been granted by the North German Confederation of all telegrams from North Germany to America not required by the sender to be sent by some other route, and also the right to transmit German and English messages, which will be transferred to a new German-English Company about to be formed. The caution money, £15,000, in Prussian Govern ment Stock, was deposited some weeks since, and the requisite contracts and arrangements will shortly be completed. A new cable, containing three conductors, will be laid by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company from North Germany to Lowestoft. One of the wires will be reserved for German-American messages, the other two will be used for German and English telegrams. One of the wires of the Anglo-Ameri can Company, from London to the United States, will be appropriated, but not exclusively, for the German-American correspondence, and the new company are to receive a rebate from the Anglo- American and Newfoundland Companies on mes sages passing through the new cable and the Atlantic lines. It is expected that a large revenue will be obtained from the German-English traffic. The Telegraph Act of last year specially excepted telegrams to and from foreign countries from the Postmaster-General's monopoly. Messrs. Berger Spence and Co.'s weekly report says—Since our report of the 22d the business transacted has been sufficiently encouraging to sustain prices and keep producers well engaged. In minerals of most descriptions, but snore espe cially in the staple home productions, there has been a fair business done. There has been a little change in the value of metals during the week, with the exception of Scotch and Cleveland pig iron, in both of which a satisfactory business has been done at advanced prices. Copper is not in great require ment, but smelters are firm at present rates. Tin and spelter remain quiet at unaltered prices. Lead in good inquiry at full rates. At a meeting at Liverpool of the creditors of Messrs. Mitchell and Phillips, metal brokers and tin-plate merchants, who failed a few days ago, it appeared that the secured liabilities amount to £175,000 and the unsecured to £35,000, while against the latter the assets reach only £5,000. It was resolved to execute a deed of assignment. BRIT IRK FUNDS—Two O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT I'UNDS.; per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, Dec 1 931 S per Cent.

GREAT ROBBERY ON ROTHSCHILD'S RANK. - Alfred Buckler was to-day placed before Sir Thomas Henry, in his private room, in custody of Inspector Druscovich charged with forgery on the house of Itothschilds of Paris to the extent of 100,000 f. The prisoner was first taken into custody for a misap propriation of a large sum of money, the property of Messrs. Worms, of Austin-friars, but that matter having been arranged, ho was set at liberty; but immediately afterwards he was taken into custody by Inspector Druscovich, under a warrant, a demand having been made for the prisoner by the French authorities under the Extradition Treaty'. The prisoner, in the present instance, was charged with forging on the house of Rothschild's, in Paris, to the ex tent of 100,000 francs, and ho had been enabled to do so by his having held a situation of trust in the Bank of Posth. Sir T. Henry said it was necessary to have the at tendance of one of the directors of the Bank of Pesth, and for that reason ho should roinand the prisoner until tha officer could atttond. AIARLBOIIO UGH- STREET. ROBBERY AND RECEIVING. —Henry Fredericks, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of property belonging to Mr. James, of No. 12, Denmark-street, and George Pond, a furniture dealer, of Crown-street, Sobo, was charged with receiving some of the property with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Harper, from the office of Mr. Froggatt, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, for the defence. Mr. Harper, in opening the case, said the charge against Fredericks was that of stealing certain goods belonging to Mr. James, and the charge against Pond was that of receiving some of them, he having given Fredericks cousid6rably less than £2 for goods worth about £3O. The evidence was to the effect that Mr. James left certain property in the care of Mrs Susan Pratt, of N 0.12 , Denmark-street ; that the prisoner Fredericks, who lodged in the house, cut open some portmanteaus and ab stracted some of tho property, and sold it at different places—at one place a clock, of the value of £3O, for half a-crown, which was restored, and to the prisoner Pond property of the value of £3O for loss than £2. Sergeant Dowdell, a detective of the E Division, went to Pond's shop, and Pond admitted purchasing several things of Fredericks, but said that he had sold a great many, and having already taken Fredericks into custody he also took Pond. In reply to Mr. Sayer, the witness admitted that Pond had produced what articles ho had left upon two oc casions. A remand was asked for and granted, as also was the application of Mr Sayer that Pond might be admitted to bail—two sureties in £25 each being required. THAMES. DOG STEALING.—SamueI Reed, aged 28 years, and Chas. Irwell, 14, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with dog stealing. Wm. Lillystone and George Smith, detectives of the K division, saw the prisoners, whom they know well, in the Mile-end-road, and followed them two miles. In the course of their walk they picked up two valuable dogs. The prisoners were arrested, the dogs taken from them, and they were returned to their owners. Briden, a police sergeant and detective, said the younger prisoner took back a lost dog to Mr. Hawkey, a linen draper, in the Mile-end-road, and received a sovereign re ward. The dog was a retriever, and had been stolen. He believed there would be several charges of dog stealing against the prisoners if there was an adjournment, Mr. Benson remanded the prisoners for a week. A Dom THIEF.—John Dyer, a notorious thief, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a jacket, the property of Andrew Nelson, a seaman on board the Golden Russett, in the London Dock. Inspector Ellis, of the Dock police, took the jacket from the prisoner as he was about to leave the place. It was identified by the owner, who missed it from his chest, from which it was taken. Mr. Benson received a plea of guilty from the prisoner, and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. A BATCII OF " TEAR ;Ups."—Seven " tear ups" were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with destroying their clothes in Wapping Workhouse, now rented and used temporarily by the Poplar Guardians. The word " tear up" is applied to every casual, who destroys his clothes. Mr. Deason, master, said the prisoners were admitted to the casual ward last night, and this morning tore up their clothes. The prisoners said they could wear their old, ragged, and filthy clothes no longer. Mr. Benson sentenced them to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and said it was plundering the rate payers for paupers to destroy their clothes, for they could not be sent into the streets in a nude condition. Mr. Deason said that William Sykes, aged 21 years, came to the casual ward with a strong canvas suit he ob ' tallied at St. Luke's Workhouse, and not being able to tear the canvas ho procured a knife and rent up the canvas into small pieces. The other prisoners were regular " tear ups." The Speaker has appointed the Rev. Henry White, chaplain of the Chapel Royal, Savoy, to be his chaplain in succession to the Very Rev. Dr. Merivale, Dean of Ely. The new chaplain was ordained in 1857 by Archbishop Sumner. and in 1860 was presented to the Queen by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster for nomination to the chaplaincy of her Majesty's Chapel of the Savoy. The chaplaincy to the Speaker will not iuter fere with the fulfilment by Mr. Henry White of his duties i n the chapel Loyal pf the fiayoy. RAILWAYS.-PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

Do, Aprilvald Coot i :MQ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.- NORTHERN OF CANADA. The gross traffic receipts on this company's line, 97 miles in length, from the Ist of July last to the 6th instant, amounted to £59,251, and for the cor responding period in 1868 to £44,270, showing an increase of £15,044, or 334 per cent. NORTH BRITISH. The Tay Bridge scheme of this company is to be formed into a separate undertaking, and to be free from all mortgages, debts, and obligations of the company. The separate interests of the under taking are to be managed by a joint committee, constituted one-half of representatives from sub scribers to its stock, and the other half of North British Railway directors. The clpital is to be £350,000, divided into 7,000 shares of £5O each. The shares are to bear a dividend of 5; per cent. per annum, payable half yearly, with au option, subject to Parliamentary sanction, to any shareholder of taking instead stock bearing 4 per cent. interest on calls during the con struction of the line, and 5 p , :r cent. dividend there after, payable half-yearly. The dividends aro to be secured by a first and preferable lien over the gross receipts of the railway, to be paid weekly into an account to be opened in the name of the joint com mittee with a chartered bank in Dundee, a sum equal to the full amount of dividend accruing each half-year; and after the dividend has been thus secured the North British Company are to take the residue of the receipts for the work ing expenses. The line is to be constructed and open for traffic within three years from the passing of the Act in 1870, and thereafter the North British Railway Company are to work the railway and provide all necessary plant and locomotive power, and to pay all public and other burdens. The joint committee are to control and regulate all expenditure connected with the separate under taking, and particularly to decide on, sanction, and enter into all contracts for the construction of the line and works, settle all land claims, and, when open for traffic, regulate and enforce payment into the bank of the gross traffic receipts to meet each half-yearly dividend. At a recent meeting of the Provost, magistrates, members of Council, mer chants, and manufacturers of Dundee, it was re solved to support the undertaking, as it would open up the coalfields of Fife, which would be a gain to Dundee of £17,500 a year in the price of the 350,000 tons of coal consumed in the town annually, being about 5 per cent. on the cost of the intended bridge. Mr. Stirling, the chairman of the North British Railway, having further explained the ad vantages of the undertaking to the town of Dun dee and the railway company, a resolution was unanimously agreed to appointing a committee to carry out the objects of the undertaking. CIVIL SERVICE EX.IMINATIONS. In the fourteen years from the constitution of the Civil Service Commission down to June, 1869, there came before the Commissioners for decision 51,628 cases of candidates for situations in the home Civil Service. In 31,509.0 f these cases certi ficates of qualification were granted, and 2,428 per sons passed the preliminary test examination with a view to their being nominated afterwards to compete. It must not be understood that the re maining 17,691 candidates were all pronounced disqualified; in 7,133 cases of persons nominated for competitive examinations, but not among the successful competitors, the question of absolute qualification did not arise. The total number rejected as disqualified was therefore 10,558 1,166 for not being of the prescribed age, 562 for being physically unfit for the duties, 661 for failing to produce satisfactory evidence of charac ter, and 8,169 for being deficient in knowledge and ability, this last number including 2,283 who failed to pass the preliminary test examination. A very small number were rejected for failure in the scholastic portions of examination alone (prescribed as tests of general intelligence and cultivation), only 271 of the 8,169., the other, 7,898 failed in elementary subjects (reading, spelling, handwrit ing, arithmetic), or in subjects connected with the practical work of the office to be filled. The Com missioners pronounced on the qualification of 44,495 persons—viz., 51,628 minus 7,133. 19,608 were candidates for superior situations, such as clerk6hips and higher positions, and the other 24,887 were candidates for inferior situations, most of theta outdoor offices ; but including also the situatiocs of office-keepers, messengers, and similar indoor ap- Fointments. Of the 19,608 candidates for superior situations 12,919 passed, including the 2,428 who were undergoing the preliminary test ; of the 24,887 candidates for the inferior situations 21,018 passed. Omitting the several numbers refused on account of age, health, or character, 3,704 of the 19,608 candidates for superior situations were refused for deficiency of knowledge and ability, and 2,283 others were reported not qualified on the prelimi nary test; and 2,182 of the 24,887 candidates for inferior situations were refused for deficient know ledge and ability. In the year ending the 30th of Juue, 1869, 5,105 cases of candidates came before the Commissioners for decision. 648 were on the preliminary test for superior situations, and 291 of these were reported qualified. Of the re maining 4,457, 2,913 obtained certificates ; 740 were rejected, 489 of them for deficient know ledge and ability ; 804 were unsuccessful com petitors. To show to what extent the method of competition was actually applied in the year we may add that certificates were granted to seven persons after open competition, to 151 after limited com petition, to 2,755 without competition. These statements 'relate to examinations, held with the view of granting certificates under the Orders in Council ; the Commissioners also examined 210 candidates for situations of engineer students and dockyard apprentices, 665 dockyard and victualling yard artificers candidates for promotion, 69 candi dates for cadetships in the Royal Irish constabulary, and eight gentlemen proposed for examiners and inspectors of schools, examined as to health. 325 candidates presented themselves in 1869 at the annual open competition for appointments in the Civil Service of India ; 51 candidates were se lected, who are now undergoing the special training required to qualify them for the ser e vice. Eight of the successful competitors were sons of clergymen, two of Dissenting minis ters, six of gentlemen in the Civil Service of India, seven of physicans, ono of a surgeon, four of officers of the army, three of landed proprietors, two of magistrates or deputy-lieuten ants, two of solicitors, four of merchants, two of farmers, and there was one son of an Ambassador, one of the Principal of a University ; one of a civil engineer, of a schoolmaster, of a stockbroker, of a brewer, of a miller, of a woolstapler, of an account ant, of an insurance agent, of a merchant's clerk, of a cashier to a steamboat company. Seven of these successful candidates belonged to Oxford Uni versity, one to Cambridge, seven to Dublin, two to London, three to Edinburgh, five to other Scotch Universities, one to the Queen's University in Ire land, four to Indian Universities ; 23 were of no University. A competitive examination was also held in 1869 for the forest service of India, and were elected to undergo training in the orest schools on the continent of Europe. PRESENTS OF ALL KINDS.—We strongly recom mend the Nobility and Gentry to visit Parkins and Gotto's extens:ve show-rooms, where may be seen thou sands of useful and elegant articles of English, French, and Austrian manufacture, especially adapted for birthday, wedding, and christening presents —in fact presents for every conceivable purpose, at very moderate prices. This is, without exception, the largest and best selected stock in Europe ; each article is marked in plain figures, andlin consequence of a rapid sale is perfectly new and fresh (a great consideration in a present). The stock consists of portrait-albums, writing-oases, dressing-cases, dressing bags, despatch boxes, envelope cases, and blotting books, inkstands, desks, stationery cabinets, handbags, card eases, book-slides, glove and handkerchief bozo!, purses, pocket-books, cigar-cases, reticules, opera-glasses, scent cases, smelling bottles, bronzes, electro-gilt, oxidised and ele, gently mounted articles for mantelshelf, dining, drawing and library table, chess-boards, bagatelle-boards, card trays, scrap-books, Bibles, Prayer-books, and Church Ser vices, plain and elegantly mounted, besides an endless variety of other articles to suit every taste, purpose, and pOgketwrlViiinfi PACI cigtto, 24 Nul 25, Qgpxcl-gtmt, W. THE PAPAL STATES. (FROM OUR OWN COILRESrONDENT) ROME, Nov. 22. The letter of Mgr. Dupanloup to his clergy has not yet I appeared in the Roman journals. The Vatican has adopted the course of giving no direct opinion in its official organs . (the Civilta is not official) as to the controversy raised on the personal infallibility of the Pope, or rather as to the opportunity of its definition at the present crisis. If I may venture to hazard a judgment, the letter in question will not retard but hasten the definition, and it is certain that the overwhelming majority of the episcopate are in favour of the dogma, which has many advocates amongst the laity. Mgr.Dupanloup is stated, on very good authority, to have relied on the concurrence cf the Archbishop of New York and the American Episcopate in his views, and to have been much surprised on finding, when they met recently in Paris, that they were all 131tramontanes. That there will, however, be any division in the Council there is no fear. Mgr. Dupanloup has, in his previous letter, accepted its decrees beforehand, and will support them when once they become the doctrine cf the Roman Cliurch. The real cause cf the Bishop's letter is the irritating and di gmat:Fing tone of M. Veuillot in the Univers, who is the best friend to Gallicanism by his gratuitous assumption of a sort of censorship over the Hierarchy of the Catholic world most unbecoming a layman, and mcst detrimental to the cause he seeks to sustain. Those who do not disagree with his principles are irritated by his want of suaviter in 2nodo, his vulgarity of tone. The Archbishop of Westminster has just arrived at his rural residence of Vie del Toitorn, and is in excellent health. Among the English families arrived are Sir John and Lady Acton, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Scott Murray, Sir Vincent and Lady Eyre, &c. The Cardinal Archbishop of Valladolid held his first reception on Friday night, at the apartments of Cardinal Barili, in the Pamfili Palace, after having paid the usual official visit to the Popo and Cardinal Antonelli in the morning. The reception was not a brilliant one, as the recent regulations requiring Court dress or uniforms for gentlemen reduced the attendance of foreigners at Court to very small dimensions. The Consistory is being held at the Vatican as I write, and you will receive all details by the next courier. A review of the entire regiment of Zouaves took place at eight this morning on the Piazza of St. Peter's. Colonel Allot's return was 800 on the occasion of the inspection. which was a beautiful sight. The young volunteers, above 3,000 in number, heard Low Mass in St. Peter's before the review, and the Pope appeared for a few moments at the window of his apartment to give the Benediction. His Holiness visited the Emporium on Friday, where 50,000 small lozenges of precious marbles have been found, having evidently been cut for the pavement of Nero's palace. The Earl of Denbigh, chairman of the Papal Defence Fund Committee, arrives to-morrow. A restaurant is being organised for the the English Zouaves at their club, which is now a very perfect little establishment, though on a smaller scale than that of the Canadians, and Dutch and Belgian Zouaves. The new Urban Guard of German volunteers will put on its uniform and do duty for the first time on the opening of the Council. The Grand Master of Malta has offered a guard to the Council, composed of knights of the order of all nationalities, and the Pope has accepted it. I need not say it will be merely honorary duty. The artists of Bologna have formed a committee for the expedition of works of art at Rome. The Marchese Cara van is tne chairman of the committee. 105 107 93 10J 97 99 110 113 GS 72 WOODLYS EIV7ER7AINMENT. After a lengthened absence Mr. W. S. Woodin returns to London, and his old quarters having been converted into a theatre he has, for the purposes cf his entertainment, taken a portion of the Egyptian Hall, which has been fitted and decorated in the most elegant and brilliant manner. Last evening was his opening night, and despite the inclement state of the weather the hall was filled to overflowing by a very distinguished audience. The entertainment was " The Carpet Bag and Sketch Book," which this favourite public entertainer first opened some years ago at the old Adelaide Gallery, but on the present occasion the contents of the one have been slightly varied, and the illustrations of the other entirely changed. On Mr. Woodin making his bow he was received in the most cordial manner, and having made a few complimentary remarks, he proceeded to introduce the " characters" forming his entertainment. We had Martha Mivins, the maid of all work, M:►jor Bluster, the gentleman who is constantly looking after No. 1; Ben Binnacle, the Greenwich pen-ioner ; Sir Benjamin Bungle, 11I.P. ; Sandie M'Whittle, the temperance lecturer and elocutionist, one who is very anxious to convince the public that Macbeth ought to be given with the pure Scottish accent ; and the Belle of the Ball-room, a gush ing young lady, whose costume is the perfection of fashion. All these characters, and many more, Mr. Woodiu supported with unabated vigour and success, and, coupled with the high-class illustra tions of his Sketch-book, all of which have been splendidly painted by Mr. J. O'Connor, his enter tainment is pleasant and amusing, and one which cannot fail to secure for him the most extensive public patronage. NAVAL AND M 11417 ARY IN7ELLIGENCE. The paddle steamsloop Salamander, Staff Com mander George B. F. Swain, manned by the officers and crew of the paddlesloop Medusa, arrived in Portsmouth harbour on Saturday, from the east ward, with a detachment of seamen on board for the Donegal, screw-line-of-battle ship, Captain Hewitt, V.C., preparing to sail for China. The Salamander is under orders to sail from Portsmouth on Wednesday next for Gibraltar, with Admiralty despatches and supernumeraries for the Channel fleet, under the command of Rear-Admirals Sy monds and Chads, which is expected to be at an chor in Gibraltar roadstead by the 6th proximo. The iron screw steam troopship Tamar, 2, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Friday from Halifax was placed on Saturday in No. 2 dock at Devon port to have her bottom examined and repaired. That part of the keel which connects the fore part of the sternpost with the after part was damaged when she struck the ground in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Volunteering bas been opened in the Chatham Division of Marines (Light Infantry) for the Marine Artillery. Only those who have served less than three years are eligible, and the height must be sft. 71in. for men under 20, and sft. Sin. if over 20. The order for volunteers of various trades from the Royal Marines for service in St. Juan has been cancelled, the Admiralty not intending to send any men out to the island at present ; but a detach ment of Marines of different trades has left Chat ham for service in Bermuda. On Saturday morning about 90 of the gentlem cadets studying at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, arrived at Woolwich for the purpose of playing a friendly match of football with the gen tlemen cadets of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. The Sandhurst cadets were about to commence the game on Woolwich-common when a telegram was received announcing the death, at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, of Colonel Halle well, Commandant of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and requesting them to return to Sand hurst. The half-yearly examination and distribution of prizes to the gentlemen cadets at the Royal Mili tary Academy, 'Woolwich, will most probably be held on Monday , the 20th of December. The Fi e ld-Marshal Commanding - in - Chief will, it is ex pected, attend as usual to conduct the examination and witness the presentation of the prizes. The grounds upon which the sentence upon Ser geant Grimes, late of the Royal Artillery band, has been annulled and orders issued for him to be rein stated, as announced in The Sun last Monday, are stated to be that engagement money earned by bandsmen is regarded as private, and as having no thing whatever to do with their military pay. Trading in it does not constitute any offence, ac cording to the Articles of War and Mutiny Act_ It was in reference to some engagement money that he was tried, and he will, therefore, revert to his former rank, and be paid his arrears of pay. QUEEN'S THEATRE.—The benefit of Mr. Young, the manager of this theatre, is announced to take place next F.Liday, when the perfcrmances wili commence with the drama of "Milky White," in which Mr. H. J. Craven and Miss Eliza Nelson will appear. Mr. F. C. Burnand's " Turn of the Tido" will be presented for the last time on POCOgiCiIZ. S PORTING INTELLIGENCE —This D CROYDON INTERNATIONAL MEETING.

[ADVERTISEMENT . ] Pills.—Thousands of instances might be cited in which low spirits and nervous irritations, the consequence of dyspepsia or indigestion, have yielded to a course of this alterative medicine. These pills will soon give tone to the stomach, renovate the di gestive powers, purify the blood, and give strength to the whole system. Sluggishness of the body and depression of the mind are succeeded by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions. Indigestion is the parent of so many evils, and is so common, so universal a com plaint, that it is a great blessing such a remedy as this in valuable medicine should have been discovered.
