Eries have improved nearly Ito 251 251, and Illinois Central Stock is 1 better at 951 95 4 4 , In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares prices are as last quoted. The sum of £25,000 in gold was taken to the Bank on Saturday. The Oneida, telegraphed at Lisbon from Brazil and the River Plate, will bring £45,817. The Pera, from Alexandria, has £37 ; 000. The assumed pacific tenor of the Emperor's ad dress on New Year's-day has created increased con fidence. It is now universally believed that the Turco -Greek question will be adjusted without a resort to hostilities, and therefore all ground for apprehension is removed. A general meeting of the shareholders of the City Bank is convened for the 19th inst., to receive the directors' report, and declare a dividend. The report of the London and Brazilian Bank (Limited), to be presented on the 14th inst., shows a loss from the Ist of January to the 30th of Sept. of £38,953, which will absorb the reserve of £11,645, and .leave a deficit of 827,308. This has been caused by exchange and gold transactions during the nine months at Rio, where the directors have in consequence just appointed a fresh manager, Mr. Gordon, hitherto manager at Bahia. The portion of the bank capital locked up is in process of im provement and recovery, a reduction of £6,000 a year has been made in the expenditure, and no call is either required or contemplated. It is understood that the directors of the City of Loudon Brewery Company are about to convene an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders, for the purpose of limiting the company's reserve fund to £50,000 ; which amount, if further augmented by £l,OOO per annum, is considered sufficient for all purposes intended. A general meeting of the New Consolidated Dis count Company (Limited) is convened for the 18th inst., when a dividend is to be declared. It is understood that owing to the extraordinary delay of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company in putting in their answer to the bill of the General Credit Company, filed nearly two years ago, the General Credit Company have felt it neces sary to take the extreme step of sequestrating the property of the Chatham Company, and that the writ of distringas issues immediately. In recent statements at New York it was repre sented that the shortest time in which the passage eastward to Japan can be made is 60 days, while on the opening of the Pacific Railway it will be performed westward in 35 days. The calculation was inaccurate. Ihe Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's time is —from London to Hong Kong 41 days, Shanhai 46 days, and Yokohama 52 days, in cluding all stoppages and intervals for tranship ments, which occupy about seven days. The stop pages and transhipments on the San Francisco route do not seem to have been taken into account, although it way be assumed they will quite equal, if they do not exceed, those by the Eastern line. According to the New York Journal of Commerce it is rumoured that Mr. Vanderbilt has made an offer to the Great Western Railroad Company of Canada to lease that road for ten years, with right of pur c h ase at the end of the lease, and the should hi s o ff er b e accepted the Great W that Railroad will, to all i n t ents and pur western poses, become a part of th e N ew York Central Railroad. Certain persons in Germany who style them selves " bank ers " are pursuing the old practice of alloting shares in th e A ustr i an State lotteries to parties in England whose names they insert in letterpress in a formal certificate without any consent or application. It is discreditable to the .Austrian Government that the annoyance should be permitted, since there is reason to assume it could be easily stopped by a refusal on their part to allow th ese people the position of agents or sub scribers. The English Scrip of the Egyptian Government Seven per C en t. L oan of 1868 p will be exchanged for Definitive Bonds, with Coupons attached, at the London agency of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, on and after the 9th inst. Messrs. Townend Brothers, of 9, Mincing-lne, intimate th at M r. Charles Bovet has been admitted a partner in their firm, which from this date will be conducted under the style of Townend Brothers and Bovet.

At Mark -lane this morning the attendance of the tract, was not very large, but the general tone of the market was very good. The gradual advance which we have reported for the last fortnight has resulted in a rise of is to 2s per qr. in the quotations of English wheat. Foreign sells in the usual retail parcels at 1s more money. Country flour is is per sack dearer with a good inquiry. Malting barley is very firm at an advance of is to 2s. One very fine parcel has this morning been sold at 58s per quarter. Oats are firm, but not quotably dearer. Maize is steadier and cannot be purchased for the same money as last week' METRO POLITAN CATTLE. There was only a very moderate number of beasts oa sale to-day, but they met a very dull sale, and, ex cept for quite the prime,t qualities, rat's were loiver. In al 3,680 were at market 518 being from Scotland, 4'o f rom Ireland, 2,012 f rom vorious parts of England, and 710 from abroad. Of sheep th ere were 19,870. The demand for p r i me was good, an d rates firm, but saleable only o n l ower terms coarse qualitie s were. Veal very sc dearer. O n l y 2 7 calves at market, of which arce and 13 were foreign. Pork brought higher rates, with a brisk sale. At market 210 pigs all English fed. Quotations : —Beef, 3s 4d to 5s 6d ; mutton, 3s 6d to 58 6d; veal, 38 8d to 6s 4d ; pork, 3s 6d to 5s per stone of Blb, sinking the offal. BOROUGH HOP. The market opened this morning with a steady inquiry for all descriptions of English and foreign hops at pre vious quotations. Pale alo hops aro much wanted, but are scarcely to bo had. COLONIAL. The colonial markets are steady this morning. The transactions in sugar on the spot are still limited, but there is a continued good inquiry for floating cargoes. Coffee is quiet, but firm. Cotton continues to be actively inquired for. NEW SMITHFIELD AND LEADENIIALL. The dead meat trade is steady, at previous rates. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. The demand is moderately active at the following rates :—English regents, 6's to 130 s; flukes, 100 s to 150 s; Scotch regents, 60s to 130 s ; French, 40f to 80s. per ton. LIVERPOOL COTTON. January 4 . —Sales probably 15,000 or 20,000 bales. Market firm and advancing. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. Mr. Besley drew the attention of the Court to the case of John and Jane Smith, charged with stealing £lO, the moneys of John Taylor, in a dwelling-house, and the said Jane Smith being an accessory before the fact. He said he had reason to believe that the prosecutor was being kept out of the way. He (Mr. Besley) thought it was a case to which the attention of the grand jury ought to be drawn. The Assistant Judge gave the required order to the officer of the court, Mr. Horsell. Frederick Johnson Stevens, 30, blacksmith, was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling house of John Parnell, and stealing therefrom a waistcoat and other articles, value £BO, his pro perty. The prisoner pleaded fluilty and was sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years. THE AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MAILS DUE AT LIVERPOOL THIS WEEK.—There are three steamers due at Liverpool this week, with the American and Canadian mails. On Wednesday next the Inman Com pany's steamer City of London, from New York, with dates to December 26th, and the Allen Company's steamer Nestorian, with corresponding advices from Portland, may be expected to reach the Mersey. On Saturday next the Cunard steamer Australasian, with advices from New York to December 30, will no doubt reach Liverpool. The outgoing mail steamers from Liverpool this week are :—The City of Antwerp, for New York, on Wednesday; the Peruvian, for Portland, on the following day ; and the Java, for New York, on Satur day next. REFORMS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.—It isturrently rumoured that the present accountant-general of the navy, Mr. James Beeby, with the assistant -general, and several clerks of the first-class in the accountant-general's department at Somerset-house, are to be superannuated ; that Mr. IL W. R. Walker will be accountant-general of the navy ; and instead of the clerks being in classes as beretofote, they will be appointed clerks of sections and assistant clerks, —Broad Arrow. Madame de Paiva, wife of the late Portuguese Minister at Berlin, is said to be placed by the death of her husband in an embarrassed pecuniary situation, and to have been obliged to apply to the Government of Lisbon to un dertake the expense of his funeral. PAUPERISM AND THE Po OR LAWS .— W e are requested to state that the adjourned discussion of the Economy Department of the Social Science Association on Pauperism, amity, and the Poor Laws," at which per sons interested are invited to attend, will be held this atevening lock at .the ' Wh i ttington Club, A rundel-street, Strand, 7 o'c THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY. 4, 18t9. QUArav ruin DONCASTER RACES. CONSECRATION OF A Baum—At the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, on Sunday morning, the Very Rev. Henry Alexander Douglas, late Dean of Cape Town, was consecrated to the bishopric of Bombay, vacant by the resignation of Bishop Harding. CHAMBERS OF AGRICULTURE. —A year since the number of Chambers of Agriculture established in Great Britain was thirty-six ; now it has increased to seventy. At the close of 1867 the aggregate number of members enrolled was 10,000 ; now it has increased to 16,000. The Paris journal Le Menestrel mentions a new invention which should earn for its author the gratitude of millions. It consists of an apparatus, which, applied to any piano, will deaden the sound emitted. There are few persons who have not been sometimes distracted by the practising of some too persevering player, and who would have paid any price for such a " mute " as that described. The Attorney-General for Ireland has issued an address to the independent electors of Mallow, asking for re-election. Ho says :—" If I am returned again to Parlia ment as your representative, I shall be faithful to you and to that great Liberal party which sow sways the destinies of our country, and which has inaugurated a policy that comiteud itself to the feelings and sympathies of our people." THE BALLOT. —At a meeting held at Derby in support of Mr. Evans, the Liberal candidate for South Derbyshire, the Hon. E. W. K. Coke, brother of the Earl of Leicester, who occupied the chair, referred to the means by which the last election in the county was lost by the Liberals. Amid loud cries of " The screw," he de. dared that he believed the statement was correct ; the election was lost by the screw. Certainly at one time he was not in favour of the Ballot, but after the last election he was decidedly of Mr. Gladstone's opinion, that, come what would, and they might call it what they pleased, there was required a system of independent voting. THE SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. PA trL'S. On Sunday evening the special services under the dome of St. Paul's were commenced, under the auspices, for the last time, of Dr. Tait, now Archbishop of Canter. bury. It was thought that his grace would preach the first sermon of the course, and that his discourse might he regarded in the light of a farewell sermon to the diocese of London, but his grace, although in good health, hardly considered himself justified in undertaking 09 arduous a duty, and he therefore substituted the Right Rev. Dr. Atlay, the recently-appointed Bishop of Hereford. There was a full choral service, Mr. Goss pre siding at the organ. It was announced that the sermon next Sunday evening will be preached by the Rev. Dr. J. C. Miller, vicar of St. Alphege, Greenwich. THE LATE LORD BROUGHAM AND THE GREAT SEAL.-Mr. M. D. Hill communicates the follow ing incident in connection with 13rongliam's acceptance of the Great Seal :—" In May 1831 I was counsel for Lord Aftliorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the election for Northamptonshire, which lasted a fortnight, during which time I mcre than once dined, and spent the evening with him 1. c-a-Mte. We conversed respecting the rumours then afloat as to Lord Brougham having forced himself on the Ministry. He said the rumour was in direct opposi- --- tion to the truth. 'My colleagues,' he continued, ' know ing there would be difficulty in persuading Brougham to abandon his position in the House of Commons, which he had just strengthened by becoming member for Yorkshire, laid upon me as his intimate friend the task of inducing him to accept the Great Seal, and a harder task I never had ... In my life. He alleged his objections with his usual power and fertility of argument. I determined not to be led into controversy, feeling certain that if I did I should be worsted. I limited myself, therefore, to assuring him that unless he would consent to fill the office of Lord Chancellor the party could not form a Government ; and this claim upon him I reiterated in every pause of his eloquence. The igtrview WAR a very long one, but I cp- THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER AND TIM POST OFFICE VOLUNTEERS. on Sunday the 49th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, a corps composed exclusively of employds of the General Post Office and its branches, paraded at Somerset House, for the purpose of attending morning service at Westminster Abbey. The sermon was preached by the Dean of Westminster, from Ezekiel i. 16-24. Dr. Stanley addressed his discourse „specially to the volunteer regiment before him, speaking first of the spirit and life of the institution with which it was connected, and, secondly, of the spirit and life of indi vidual members of that institution. He com pared the General Post Office to the working of the '•wheel in the middle of the wheel," moving with the motion of the " living creatures," as described by the prophet, and enlarged upon the blessings conferred upon mankind by a postal service within reach of the humblest. To Persia, on the authority of Herodotns, he ascribed the honour of initiating the system of the transmission of let ters which had now spread throughout the civilised world, and pointed out that the first instance recorded is in Esther, where it is stated that Ahasuerus "sent letters by post on horseback and riders and mules, camels and young dro medaries." The first seeds of Christian freedom were sown by the thirteen letters of the great Apostle of the Gentiles, and it had since been secured by numberless letters of sages and saints. Considering how much might depend upon the safe delivery of a single letter, the work of the Post Office afforded an example of the dignity of human responsibility. There was a singular coincidence in the assembling of the servants of the Post Office for Divine worship within the walls of Westminster Abbey. St. Martin's-le-Grand was formerly a priory or convent exactly coeval with the Abbey in its foundation, and the priory having been merged in Henry Vll.'s Chapel, William of Wykeham, one of the earliest deans of Westminster, became also chief of St. Martin's le-Grand. The distinction had long since disappeared; but now, once more, after a lapse of 300 years, he welcomed back St. Martin's -le - Grand to those ancient and once familiar walls. Referring to the duties of a public servant to his fellows and to the nation, Dr. Stanley spoke of the late Chief Commissioner of Police as one who died honoured and lamented alike by those under whom he served and by those who served under him. With reference to the Post Office Volunteer Corps, he urged its members to make this new wheel within the greater wheel instinct with its own life and spirit. It has been said that every new language a man acquired made him so many more times a man, and the same might be said of every new pursuit which opened a new field for thought, raised now motives for economy of time, and resistance of temptation to drunkenness, gambling, and vice, and introduced new bonds of love and duty to other The corporation of Doncaster, at their annual meeting, were asked to increase their grant to the September race meeting from £1,500 to £2,000 annually. The grant has been repeatedly increased in the course of years, the receipts from the races increasing, however, in a far greater ratio, until they have reached £B,OOO at one meeting. A minute was read from the Race Committee of the corporation, recommending that Mr. Richard Johnson, the clerk of the course, should be empowered to draw up a programme for the present year's meeting in accordance with the increased grant. A letter was then read from Dr. Vaughan, the vicar of Doncaster, who is also chaplain to the corporation, protesting against the proposed augmentation. He took the opportunity of remonstrating respectfully but firmly against the per petual renewal of the attempt to levy a heavier burden upon the borough fund. He did not stay to inquire whether the corporation could legally make such a grant whilst rates were being levied in the borough, but wished to point out the immorality and crime consequent upon the race meeting. In his opinion the best friend to the permanent interests of Doncaster was he who laboured to turn the intelligence and energies of the inhabi tants into channels where there was the least possible en couragement to vice. In conclusion, he entreated the mayor to use his influence against a proposition which he was sure did not meet with the support and wishes of the independent and disinterested townspeople. A long and somewhat warm discussion followed the reading of Dr. Vaughan's remonstrance.—Alderman Hatfield said the corporation were just in this position—the races had been bequeathed to them as an institution of the town, and whatever might be the individual opinions of members, they were bound to make the best of it. Either they must continue to ma nage the races themselves, or they must lease them to somebody else ; but only let them talk of abolishing the races and they might as well vacate their seats at that board at once. He reminded them that had it not been for the races the corporation could never have made the grants to the churches, chapels, and schools of the town which they had done—grants including one item of £lO,OOO to the re building of the parish church alone.—Mr. Councillor Weliborne observed that all classes of the inhabitants were either directly or indirectly deriving benefit from the races, and fully 900 out of every 1,003 people would hold up their hands in favour of them ; and it was his own individual opinion that Dr. Vaughan's interference was quite unnecessary. —Alderman Sir Isaac Morley said that though he was opposed to the races, he should make no proposition against the increased grant ; he simply moved that Dr. Vaughan's letter be recorded on the minutes of the council.—Mr. Councillor 'Waite seconded this.—Mr. Councillor W. C. Clark moved as an amend ment that the letter be not so noticed, and this was seconded by Mr. Wellborne.---The amendment was carried by a small majority, and the grant was unanimously increased to £2,000 a year.

SINGULAR CASE. —Marie Puirier, a Frenchwoman, was charged before Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £l2, the property , of Alexis Tourier, a waiter, living at No. 3, Rupert street. M. Albert interpreted. The prosecutor said that on Saturday morning last about half-past one o'clock he met the pri soner and took her to his place, where they had some brandy and champagne. He after wards fell asleep, and the prisoner, under the pretence that she was suddenly taken ill, wanted to leave the room. He opened the door anl let the prisoner out and followed her down stairs. She then left the house and he returned to his roc m ; suspicion crossed his rniud that she might have taken his gold watch and chin out of the pocket of Lis waistcoat which he had hanging in his room and he found tint that was the case, an I that the watch and chain were gone. List night he wet the prisoner with her "bully" in Coventry-street, and On giving her into custody the "bully" struck him in the presence of a constable. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutor whether the prisoner said anything when she was given into custody. The prosecutor said at the station she sail they could send the police, but would not find anything. A person was in court who saw his chain in the prisoner's" bully's" possession. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he was sure she was the same woman. The prosecutor said he was, and that he par icularly noticed that she had a mole on her 'orehead. Barnes, the gaoler, removed the prisoner's ha and found a mole on her forehead. Henry Poix, a Frenchman, proved seeing a gold chain like the procecutor's in the possession of the prisoner's bully, who had made off as soon as the prisoner was taken by the police. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the prosecutor, for a week. WESTMINSTER. A 'VERY AWKWARD POSITION. —Alfred C. Piper, a young man about 25 years of age, well dressed, was charged with being found on the balcony of a house in Colchester-street, Pimlico. Mr. Foot, a gentleman residing in Colchester street, said that at half-past 1 this morning he was awoke by his wife, who said she heard a noise like a man sweeping a chimney. He thought it very unlikely that such a process could have been going on at that unseasonable hour. While he and his wife were discussing the point they heard a fresh noise and saw the shadow of a man reflected from outside the house. Witness jumped out of bed, and on going to the window saw the prisoner on a balcony two or three doors off. He called to him to know what he did there, and told him he should give him into custody, which he did. Sergeant Walker, 23 B, said that half-past one he heard cries of " Police" from Colchester-street, and went there, when he found prosecutor and pri soner standing together in the balcony. Witness asked him what he was doing there, when he re plied it was all right, he wanted to see some one. He declined to say to what house he was going. An instrument, called a " knuckle-duster," was found upon him. Prisoner said he had had some words with a lady with whom he was keeping company, and she went in-doors. Seeing a light at her drawing-room window he stupidly climbed the balcony two or three doors off, and was going to her when prose cutor stopped him. Mr. Selfe said that unless he could fully satisfy him of his respectability he should remand him until Wednesday. If he produced witnesses he would hear them. He did so, and was liberated on his own recoguisance. THAMES. The charges of drunkenness this day doubled those of last Monday, which followed Boxing-d ty on the previous Saturday. Mr. Partridge, who officiated, soon dispaiel of them, and in some cases attended with disorderly conduct, inflicted the ordinary fine of ss. The others were discharged. John Head, an Irishman, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. Guntop, a green grocer, in High-street, Bow. The prisoner was intoxi cated on Saturday night, and he accosted the com plainant, and after abusing hitu without any pro vocation whatever he struck him on the mouth and dislodged one of his teeth, putting him to serious pain and inconvenience. The prisoner made a long d e f ence a b out his drunkenness, and a variety of subjects, but made no allusion to the assault. Mr. Partridge said he could not pass over such a violent assault as this without sever e p un i s h ment, and sentenced the prisoner to a month' s imprison ment and hard labour.

THE CHINESE MISSION TO EUROPE.—Lord Cla rendon and the Hon Anson Burlingame have, we are in formed, agreed upon the basis of the future policy of her Majesty s Government in relation to China. First, that it is necessary to observe existing treaty stipulations; secondly, that all negotiations shall be conducted with the Central Government at Pekin, and not with provincial : authorities ; and, thirdly, that when any differences arise, before war shall ensue, they shall be referred to toe Home Government for consideration. Lord Clarendon has instructed her Majesty's agents in China to act in this spirit and with these objects, and to caution all British subjects to pay due respect not only to the laws of China, but to the usages and feelings of the Chinese people.
