The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets sti during the last few days have not exhibited any at, material alteration. Tea at public sale realised at; former prices, except for the common descriptions. . t: Sugars were at rather lower rates. For Coffee the et, inquiries have not been quite so active, and infe- st! rior kinds have declined 6d. to ls. per cwt. Rice at, has been in steady demand, and some extensive 8 t dealings have taken place in fruit. Saltpetre has at: continued inactive. The tallow market has shown at, more activity, and prices have tended upwards, B a t t: Particularly for present delivery ; on the sti spot is now quoted 61s, to 61s. 6d., and spring et, delivery 625. to 625. 6d. per cwt. at, st, Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market was o f ( moderately active, and prices of American descrip tions exhibited a further advance of id. per lb. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales. At the public sales of colonial wool, which com menced yesterday afternoon, there was a good 81 attendance of both home and foreign dealers and 6 t: manufacturers. The finer descriptions of Sydney a realised an advance of ld to lid per lb. on the last sales' rates, and' Cape wools maintained full values. New Zealand descriptions were in active request. Notwithstanding the increased restrictions s , adopted yesterday, and the expectation of further withdrawals of gold to complete outstanding con tracts with the Bank of France, the money market 8 ' is rather less excited, probably in consequence of et a more careful examination of the circumstances Which have led to the movement, and the et, Probability of a speedy, reaction. The demand g_t(- 1 , foraccommodation, however, could not be 19.: expected to continue so active as it Was during the earlier part of the week be cause the mercantile classes have now large avail able supplies which they obtained as soon as the s a upwards tendency of the rates commenced. Capi- at talists still proceed with great discrimination, and at take advantage of the opportunity now afforded of at, exacting very full quotations for the temporary use et of their resources. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Sussex has been announced from Melbourne 'With £248,640,in specie. A call of per share, amounting to £50,000, is 12 due to-day on the Metropolitan Railway shares. sti To-day a payment of 8 per sent. will have to be st, Made on the Canadian 5 per Cent. Loan of £2,800,000. The Money Market presents a ♦ery stringent appearance, but there is less pressure. Very high rates, however, are demanded for accommodation. More animation and increased buoyancy have been experienced on the Stock Exchange to-day. Confidence has partially reSurned, and some of the speculators for a fall have closed their operations, chile others have opened new engagements for the rise. Some purchases for investment have also t tken place, and higher prices have arrived from Paris, which have likewise assisted to promote a more cheerful feeling. Consols for money have been 931 I, and for the account, 931 1. It is ex pected that no gold will leave the Bank to-day. The New Three per Cents. are firmer at 917 the Reduced at 91 1.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE TRENT VALLEY ILLILIVAY EIGHT LIVES LOST. This morning, about two o'clock, a most shocking acci• dent occurred on the Trent Valley Railway, near to Ather. stone Station. The mail train from Scotland was pursuing its course towards London, and when passing the Atherstone Station came into violent c)llision with a cattle train which was standing near the place. The effects of the accident were most faightful. The stoker of the mail train and seven of the drovers in the cattle waggons were killed on the spot. All the passengers are reported to have escaped unhurt. Several Post-office desks, who were on duty in the dif ferent compartments, have been injured to such an extent that recovery in many cases is almost impossible. All were more or less injured. Mr. Cawkwell, the general manager of the London and North-Western Railway Company, to whom the Trent Valley line is leased, left town this morning to make in quiries into the nature and causes of the accident. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. NUNEATON, FRIDAY MORNING. The 6 o'clock limited mail express from Glasgow, last night, going at full speed, ran into a 25-truck cattle train that was shunting back towards Athorstone, at half-past two this morning. Ten passengers, including the Duchess of Montrose, are safe. The fireman was killed, and five drovers have been taken out of the broken cattle vans, dead; the engine driver and guard were slightly injured. The engine. passed through two cattle trucks, and buried itself in the steep embankment, where, for half an hour, the hissing of the steam partially drowned the groans of the dying cattle. The baggage van was stove over a cattle truck and rested at an angle of 45. None of the other carriages were thrown off the rails. The fault was at the station, where there was no danger single shown, but only a hand-lamp, when it was too late to stop. The Glasgow train was up to time. THE PRIACE OF WALES. The Western Daily Mercury, published at Ply mouth, gives in a third edition the following par ticulars of the Prince's return : The Prince of Wales has at length arrived. Her Majesty's ship Hero steamed into our port at nine o'clock this morning. She made her number in conjunction with the Ariadne to the St. George, lying in the Sound, at 10 minutes to eight o'clock, and it was immediately transmitted to the signal station at Mount Wise. The Admiral at once tele- graphed to Windsor, and half an hour afterwards the Queen was informed of the safe arrival of - her son. The Hero saluted on her arrival in the Sound, and the Impregnable, the flag-ship of the Port Ad miral, returned it. Very soon all was in commo tion. Two companies of the 12th Regiment, under the command of Captain Dickens, headed by the band, marched to the Victualling-yard; aid the Admiralty barge, and also one belonging to the Port Admiral, were immediately despatched to the Hero to convey the prince and suite on shore. The Prince left the vessel about half-past ten o'clock, and reached the Victualling-yard soon after eleven. He was received on landing by Major. General Hutchinson, the Commander-in- Chief of the Western district, and by Sir Houston Stewart, the Port Admiral ; Major Pasley, the Commandant of the Royal Artillery, and the chiefs of the different Government departments. The band of the 12th Foot played the National Anthem, as did also the band of the Plymouth Volunteers. The volunteer corps of the three towns were well represented. The Devonport Corps, with nearly the whole of the officers, were the first on the ground, the Stonehouse Corps came second, and the Plymouth followed. The Prince bowed very graciously to the congratulations offered him. The Victualling-yard wasnot thrown open to the public, but a large number of ladies were admitted, who gave a warm welcome to the Prince. At the out side of the Victualling-yard a large concourse of persons had assembled, who cheered as only Eng lishmen can cheer, and the Prince bowed repeatedly. The line of route was through Dunford-street, Ca roline-place, and .Millbay, and everywhere the loudest demonstrations of welcome and respect greeted his Royal Highness. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC AIL,'. The Royal Mail Company's steamship La Plata, Captain G. C. Weller, arrived at Southampton yes terday at 2 p.m. This packet brought 91 passengers (56 first class, 14 children, 24 servantP, and naval invalids), among whom were Senor Leal, the Brazilian Minister to Madrid from Caraccas, and family; Senor Quenedo, Spanish Minister to Ecuador from Caraccas ; Assis. tant-Commissary-Gencral Ibbetson and family ; Assistant-Surgeon Greer, 21st Foot ; Capt. Green, 8d West India Regiment ; Capt. Cairnes, 21st Foot, from Barbadoes, &c. On freight she has 463,056 dols. in specie (or say £92,611 sterling), of whi c h 159,086 dols. were in silver and 303,970 dols. in gold; platina, value 2,810 dols., and a cargo com prising 338 bags of silver ore, 35 bags of cocoa, 40 cases of succades, 19 live turtle, 15 packages of coffee s 20 serons of cochineal, and 103 packages of sundries. Jamaica advices are to the 24th ult. The Legis lature had been convened for the despatch of busi- ness on the Bth inst. His Excellency the Governor had departed from the ordinary custom of giving sessional dinners, and Mrs. Darling had issued invi tations for a large ball on the 9th in honour of the Prince of Wales's birthday. On the 19th ult. her Majesty's steamer B arracout a towed into Port Royal two vessels captured off the coast of Cuba, supposed to be employed in the slave trade. They were ascer tained to be Spanish brigs, names unknown, laden with provisions and slave supplies, and were bound for the African coast. The weather had been very unsettled and still remained so, causing a great deal of sickness. The planters were looking for ward with promising prospects to the coming crops. Cordova's Mercantile intelligencer of the 24th says : " We have been visited with several very heavy showers since our last issue, and, in consequence, the activity in business noticed in our last has not been'eontinued. Coun try buyers have been kept from market, and the transac tions of the past fortnight must be reported as having been very limited. The produce market lus been also somewhat affected by the heavy rains. The coffee crop has been re tarded, and the arrivals of sugar small. Prices, however, have not materially changed." Flour had advanced in price since last advices. New wheat in lots sold at 375. per barrel, but that figure was afterwards refused, and the cargoes per S. H. Sears and Alice Mowe were held at 38s. Very little coffee had been brought to market, and prices ranged from 445. to 465. for good ordinary. Sales of sugar had been made at 21s. to 235. for fair, and 20s. for middling. Carolina rice had sold at 225. 6d. per 1001 b. ; no sales of East India, but 16s. was asked. A portion of the Tartar's cargo of codfish fetched 15s. for tierces, and 18s. for boxes; three fourths of the Vivid's cargo sold at the same prices. Alewives continued to realise 20s. per per barrel in cargo. American butter Bd. to 9d. per lb.; •no Hall- fax at market, and no transactions in Cork to re- port. Stock of pork heavy, and moved slowly ; sales of inspected mess at 103 s. Pimento was arriv ing at market freely, and deliveries were being made at 11d. per 1001 b. ; a sale was reported of 590 bags at 15s. cash. American pigs' tongues sold at 545., and ox at 565. to 583. Exchanges on London. —Jamaica Bank-90 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 60 days, l per cent. prem. ; 30 days, 2 per cent. prem. Colonial Bank-90 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 60 days, 11 per cent. prem ; 30 days, 2 per cent. prem. The Court of Policy at Demerara sat on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of October. The first vessel from India with immigrants was, as stated in a letter from Mr. Marriott, to leave on the 25th of August, and the second in September. On the subject of immigration being taken up, the Honourable Mr. Smith alludtd to the expediency of having arti sans introduced among the immigrants, but his Excellency explained that this could not be done under the present arrangements, as the ordi nance declares that the people introduced under indenture to plantations snail be employed in the growing or manufacture of articles the produce of such plantations. On the Bth ult. the brigantine Lark arrived at Georgetown from Madeira with 144 immigrants, and on the 10th the brigantine Flora de F2nchal, with 112 from the same island. The weather had been generally dry and somewhat sultry, with an occasional shower. On the majority of estates manufacturing operations were in full progress, the planters being anxious to complete the year's crop, which was expected to be fully equal to that of other good years. The exports for the fortnight were :—Sugar, 2,388 hhds., 129 tierces, 369 barrels, and 1,199 bags; molasses, 250 pun cheons ; rum, 1,163 puncheons, 194 hhds., and 96 barrels; hardwood timber, 48,236 feet; cocoanuts, 42,530. Business at St. Thomas's was more active, and further improvement was expected, now that the hurricane season was passed. Some sales of goods had been made to a moderate extent for Cuba and Porto Rico, and a large amount of sales was ex pected during November, as stocks were well as sorted. Exchanges were firm, and merchants' draughts had been sold :—On London, 4 dols. 95c, for 90 days' draughts ; ditto, 4 dols. 97-,1-c. for GO days' ; ditto, 5 dols. for 30 days' ; on Hamburg, 43+ dols. for 90 days' ; on Paris, 5 dols. 50c. for 90 days'; on United States, par for GO days'. The health of the island was good, and clean bills of health were regularly issued. The weather in most districts of Porto Rico was was all that planters could wish for, and there was every prospect of a large crop. Advices from the Pacific and Central America contain little news of interest. Costa Rica was re ported to be tranquil since the revolution. Valparaiso papers contain a lengthy account of the celebration of the independence of Chili, which passed off with great enthusiasm throughout the country. The Government intend sending a strong force south about the middle of November to carry on the campaign against the Indians. The following is from the Panama !tar and herald of the 23d ult. :—" An official question has I arisen between the United States' and British naval forces in this bay, which is of considerable interest. It has been occasioned by the order given to the guards from her Britannic Majesty's ship Clio, stationed at the British and French Consulates since the late riot, to hail all persons passing those houses. Several foreigners have been stopped by the sentry, and on Saturday an American officer, and subsequently an American citizen, have been arrested for refusing to respond to the sentry while passing through the public street. The matter was brought before Flag-officer Montgomery, in com mand of the United States' naval forces, wh . o , at once addressed a communication to Captain Mbi.lexctr, of her Britannic Majesty's ship w su ere j Clio, on the the result of which was that the guards at ordered one withdrawn from both Consulatetsh,e andfinal on board. We have not yet heard . termi nation of the matter, and until we do we shall re frain from making any conaments upon the proceeding." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Her -Majesty's ships Imaum and Icarus were a, J a maica, with t wo S p anish bri g s, slave Port Roya l, prizes to the Barracouta. The captain of o ne of the brigs was said to have formerly been captain of the schoo ner Cortez, which her Majesty's brig Arab ca ptured som e time ago, and is now at Port Royal, called the Kingston. yellow fever had broken out at Port Royal with great violence, which showed itself chiefly on board her Majesty's ships Imaum and Icarus. a rr i several former vess el had lost two officers , three men, boys ; the latter above thirty men, one assistant surgeon, one second-lieutenant, one master, one warrant officer, a purser's clerk, and two engineers. The Barracouta sailed on the 24th of October for Barbadoes, with the remainder of the sick and in valids from the Imaum and the Icarus, by which it was hoped the progress of the disease would be arrested. Her Majesty's ship Racer, relieved by the Hydra, was expected daily at Jamaica from Greyto wn. Her Majesty's steam corvette Mutine, Comman `dere Graham, l was at Panama; she arrived there on the 19:h h ult. from Valparaiso and intermediate ports. Her Majesty's ship Clio was expected to leave Panama for the coast of Mexico about the 24th ult h The ASt George's Chronicle (G renada) of the 13t. ult. has the following relative to the troopship Conway, of the wreck of which vessel we have pre viously had accounts : " Capt. George Rose, of t he ship Home, which arrived yesterday from England, with coals for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's depot, reports having fallen in, on the Ilth of September, with a derelict. Captain Rose states :---eI bore down upon and boarded the B.itish ship Conway in lat. 3 deg. 36 min. N., long. 19 deg. 15 min. W., having her fore lower mast standing, the main and wizen lower masts lying foie and a 4 t on the port side of the main deck and quarter deck, they having gone by the partners. I found the ship in posses sion of F renc h an d Sp an i s h ca ptains and portions of their crews, two barks, to which they belonged, lying by and r ece i v i ng the pl u nder carried by their i boats fro m th e d ere li ct. It i s i mposs ibl e t ee d esci be the appearance of the main deck and between ch cks ; it fairly outstripped the early incidents of the Crimean war, the French and Spanish sailors on board the Conway being dressed in women's apparel a la. Bloomer, with pl umes an d ar tifi c i a l fl owers waving on th e i r h ea d s grace f u ll y to t h e b reeze , while busy in breaking open chests, carpet, bags, knapsacks, bedding, &e. I found also the French crew taking all the small sails, they being new, and, as the captain said, suitable for his small vessel. Rope, canvass, compasses, signals, Sze., were all gone. The ship was so completely gutted by the crews of the ba r k s , t h at I had to supply her with a compass, a coil of r o p e , and other necessaries, having intimated to the captain i n c h arge that the Conway, being a British ship, it be came my duty as a British subject to act for the benefit of all concerned and put a stop to further plunder; that I did not wish to interfere with their claim upon the ship, but shoild certainly remain by and see that the ship was carried into port. One of my b oys giving the French captain rather a bull-dog shake, they thought fit to leave us and the Conway to our selves, and take their departure. On soundin g th e pumps, I found five feet of water in the hold, W hi ch proceeded from two auger-holes in the starb oar d lower bow-post, bored from the inside ; the water from the lower hole running constantly, but from upper hole only when she dipped. It thesaid post immediately plugged the holes from theinside. At we found four augers, one gouge, a hand-saw, a lantern, and matches. I left four hands on board for the night, and remained by her. Next morn ing sent the chief mate and six men to get spars up canvass set. At 6 p.m. on the Wednesday parted from her, having left her in charge of my chief mate with five seamen, with instructions to make for the first port that wind and weather would per mit, in En g l an d, an d u p on th e i r arr i va l the chief mate was to deliver my sealed report to Lloyd's agent." - The steamer Moses Taylor had arrived at Lota, and sailed for San Francisco. The following vessels had arrived at Valparaiso between the 16th and 20th of September :—From Hobart Town, the British bark Juno; from Liver pool, tke British ship Magellan and the British brrk Rancagua ; from Australia, the American ship Helios ; from Paranguay, the Hamburg bark Rio Janeiro; from Liverpool, the British bark Lanner cost; from London, the British bark Ann P.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both sides, the Vice-Chancellor ordered the transfer to be de livered up to the plaintiff, to be cancelled, with costs, with out prejudice to any question of law that may arise between the co-defendants, the Stock Exchange and the Railway Company. ROLLS COURT. WALEIS V. GREENHILL. His Honour the M aster of the Rolls said—On the part of the case that I have reserved my opinion with respect to the interest on the £3,000 note, I am of opinion that Henry Greenhill must repay it, or deduct it from his share. He must deduct all the interest which the executor paid, and which has been disallowed in the account of the £3,000 note in respect of money advanced to him. His Honour, quo ad ultra, approved of the minutes, and decreed accord ingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STRANGE CONDUCT AT A CAFE.-Mr. Thos. O'Connor, of the Rose public-house, Great Wyld-street, Drury-lane, licensed victualler, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with creating a disturbance at the Californian Cafe, 13, Panton street, and breaking a 100 table, some chairs, and other articles, the property of Mr. John Coney, the proprietor. Mr. John Coney said he was an artist, and also keeper of the Californian Cafe, Panton-street. That morning, be tween 4 and 5, the defendant came into his house, flourished his arms about, said he was an Irishman, and would fight any two Englishmen ; threw a gentleman over some chairs, breaking the chairs in doing so ; also broke a 100 table, tore down the curtains, injuring the cornice pole, and doing other damage. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the complainant said the gentleman assaulted was not present, being unable to attend. Richardson, a constable of the C division, proved being called to the cafe, and finding the place in great disorder, several articles being broken. Defendant said he was a little the worse for drink, but knew what he was about. He had had a bottle of cham pagne at the house, and paid for it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must pay £3, the amount of damage, or be committed for two months. VHS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, very little wheat came to hand, but the general quality of the samples was tolerably good. Selected parcels were taken off slowly, at about Monday's currency, but inferior de scriptions were very dull, and rather lower to purchase. Nearly 17,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come to hand, the demand for that description of produce was some what heavy. In prices, however, very little change took place. Floating cargoes were purchased with extreme caution. For good and fine barley there was a fair sale, on former terms, but other descriptions were very dull, at barely late rates. New malt was in request at full quotations, but old par cels were a slow sale. Geod sound oats moved off steadily—other kinds slowly, at late rates. Beans and peas were scarce, and in request, at extreme quotations. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Mon. dry's currency, ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Whe it. Barley. Malt. Oats.

GAR.—The market has been dull, and to effect sales to any extent lower terms must be submitted to by holders► In the refined market dried goods have been inactive with out any material change in values. COFFEE.—At the public sales of Plantation Ceylon a decline of 6d. to ls. per cwt. was effected, and the greater portion of low quality offered was either bought in or with drawn. RICE.—The market has been steady, only moderate transactions were recorded at previous rates. FRUIT.—A reasonable business has been done in new currants, at slightly advanced values. Raisins, figs, and almonds, fully maintain previous rates. SALTPETRE.—The dealings have been limited; no change of importance, bowiNer, can be recorded in values. TALLOW.—More activity has been apparent during the last few days, and quotations tend upwards. P.Y.C., on the spot, has advanced to 61s to 61s 6d, and spring delivery 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. GRAY'S -INN, Nov. 14.—At a Pension of the Hon. Society of Gray's-inn, holden this day, the Rev.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—A Court of Com mon Council was held yesterday. In consequence of the alterations made at the Guildhall in connexion with Lord Mayor's Day and the Rifle Brigade ball, the meeting was held in the long parlour at the Mansiox-house. The Lord Mayor presided for the first time, and stated that a tele gram had just been received in London announcing the safe arrival Of the Hero, with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales on board. This statement was received with loud cheers. Mr. Anderton gave notice of a motion to the effect that that court, in testimony of its approbation of the Lon don Volunteer Rifle Brigade, do present the brigade with a pair of colours bearing the arms of the City. Deputy Harrison proposed in suitable terms a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, which was seconded by Mr. Waterlow, and carried. In answer to an inquiry by Dr. Abraham as to whether any monies remained in the hands of the late Lord Mayor that had been specially placed in the hands in that capacity, and no other, for charitable purposes, and, if so, whether the money had been handed over to the pile. sent Lord Mayor, it was stated that a sum of about V,O remained in the hands of his lordship at the termination of his mayoralty, and that sum bad been handed over to the present Lord Mayor. Mr. W. Hartridge moved that it be referred to a committee to inquire into the propriety of estit blishing a free library in the City of London. Mr. Andex• ton seconded the motion, which gave rise to some discus sion. Mr. Besley moved an amendment to the effect that it be left to the Lord Mayor to convene a public meeting of the rate-payers to consider the subject, which was carried by a majority of two. Mr. H. L. Taylor presented a report recommending that parliamentary notices be given in re ference to an act for the removal of Newgate-market, which Was agreed to. After the transaction of some other bloineso the court adjourned, GA.RIBALDI'S LADIES. Mr. Adams Smith, the amusing correspondent of the Scotsman at the scene ef strife in Southern Italy, introduces us to one or two of the minister ing angels of Garibaldi's camp and hospitals : - - " " There is a Princess who is indefatigable in her exertions daily at the hospital. Then there is the Countess Maria della Torre, a very extra ordinary personage, revolver and dagger in one hand, and physic bottles and plasters in the other. She is good looking, as far as deli cate features can make her, a nose chiselled on the best Grecian model, but she fails in complexion. Her figure is slight, and not inelegant, and upright as a dart. Such her physical—her moral may be partly collected from a short conversation I had with her in a cast she gave me one evening in her car riage. I was returning on foot from St. Angelo after the battle on the Ist October. I met her driving at a gallop. I respectfully saluted her as she passed. She stopped and kindly told me to get into the car riage. I did so, and ashed her where she was going at such a rate. To the camp—to the wounded— but I have no bandages—no nothing—no anything for dem." Then what is the use of going there ? had you not better return to the hospital at Santa Maria, whither the wounded will be carried ?" Vell, I must see.' She stopped everybody on the road, boy and man, to ask their advice. All this while the bullets were flying across the road, and she standing up in the carriage, an excellent mark, cool as a cucumber. For nearly twenty minutes did we remain on the road lightly conversing. Don't you tink my uniform very pretty, Mr. Smit—buttons all down in the front?' Yes,' I said,' and unless you want some more button holes to match not made by the regular tailor, I think we had better start, more especially as I have more holes than buttons.' Ragozzo assented ; but after all she is kind hearted as well as spirited. Then last, but not least, there is a Mrs. White, of the Chiaja, of more modest pretensions, but not less energetic equally useful. She is one of Garibaldi's pets;. and by his salutes you may always know where his affections are deepest—he has a graduated scale. This lady he impresses affec tionately_and fervently upon the cheek. Then there is a very patriotic woman, whose cognomen is Santa Joanna, who has spent half her fortune in the cause, with the noblest soul enclosed in a mass of most smutty flesh and gorgeous ribbons, for whom he hos the most unbounded re gard; he salutes her on the top of the head. There are many other steps in the scale of his affections, but I have merely taken the top and bottom ones. It is to the second lady mentioned that I would recommend all the subscriptions for the sick and wounded to be sent." PENNY TESTIMONIAL TO GARIBALDL—A public meeting was held at the Terminus Hotel, Brighton, on Monday evening, at which the following resolution was passed :—" That a penny subscription be immediately com menced in Brighton, giving every person an opportunity of expressing his sympathy and admiration of the noble con duct of the great liberator and emancipator of Italy."

THE CITY OF LONDON RIFLE VOLUNTEER BALL. —Last night the Guildhall, in which the city banquet so lately took place was filled with an assemblage still more animated and brilliant. A ball, originated by the members of the City Volunteer Rifle Brigade, was given there with signal success. Nearly 2,000 dancers found room for their evolutions, while Gog and Magog looked down benignantly. The committee of taste enjoyed a great advantage in ob taining the reversion of the decorations in use on the Lord Mayor's day. The thousand jets of gas following the outline of the windows and ceiling, the trophies and the armour, the banners and shields the s pl e ndid hall, and he excellent music, left nothing to be desired. Among the arrangements those of the commis sariat were the most formidable, but this difficulty was happily overcome. There was no set supper, and what dancers lost in substantial fare they thus gained in comfort and in the absence of anything like scrambling. The fine old crypt and the Exchequer Chamb er were fitted up as refresh ment saloons. The Council Chamber formed a second ball room for those who desired a more quiet area for dancing than the great hall. Thus the whole building was turned to a ccount. and no part seemed over-crowed. The Lord Mayor and Mayoress, with the Sheriffs, were present during the evening. Uniforms were, of course, the rule, and plain evening dress the exception. For a ballroom the uniform of the City Rifle Corps is rather sombre; but the scarlet tunics of the Hon. City Artillery Company and of the Six Foot Guards enlivened the room, and with the gay dresses of the ladies produced a most picturesque effect. Altogether the ball passed off so successfully that it is pretty sure to be repeated another year. A handsome sum, it is hoped, will accrue to the exchequer of the city brigade by the surplus profits. PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE.—Mr. Anderton gave notice of the fol lowing motion for the next Court of Common Council : "That this Court, in testimony of its approbation of the London Volunteer -Rifle Brigade, do present the brigade with a pair ,of colours with the arms of the City upon them." THE PRESS IN PARIS.—The preliminary inves tigation relative to the incriminated article of the Opinion Nationale, entitled " Un easus belli," has terminated, and the editor and printer have been ordered to appear in a few days before the Correctional Police, under a charge of pub lishing false news. It is said that the Union is also sum moned to appear, and answer for copying the incriminated article. The New York correspondent of the London and China Telegraph says—" It is designed to establish a regu lar line of clipper ships between New York and Kanagawa, Japan. The chief promoter of this line is R. H. Gallaber, a merchant of New York, having a house in Japan. The first ship was announced to sail at an early day, between 20 and 30 passengers, and nearly 1,000 tons of freight, consisting of machinery, frame houses, and assorted merchandise, hav ing been secured for transportation on her outward voyage. Among other things depended on for a return cargo is a quantity of Japanese seed wheat, which has been ordered, and is said to be of a superior quality." SELLING BEER AT FAIRS.—The following letter appears in a Carmarthenshire paper :—" Inland Revenue, Somerset House.—Sir, —Referring to your report of the 17th, I am to instruct you to inform the clerk to the magis trates for the county of Carmarthen that the board are ad vised that it was not intended by the 37th section of the 23d and 24th of Victoria, chap. 113, to re p eal the privi leges expressly granted by former acts of selling beer with out license at legally constituted fairs and rac es, and that such privilege and exemption still exist.-1 am, sir, your - obedient servant, WM.

Yesterday a meeting of the Representative Ves try of St. George's, Hanover-square, was held at the Board-room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, to discuss the merit of the act of last session, pass e d for the purpose of regulating the supply of gas to thn metropolis, and to elect representatives to con fer and act with the other parishes of the metro- polls in carrying that act into effect. The Rev. H. Howarth, rector of the parish, and chaplain in ordinary to her Majesty, presided. Mr. CHAPPELL, vestry•clerk, at the commence ment of the proceedings, read the following resolu tions, of which a notice was standing on the paper in the name of Mr. F. R. Bertolacci, viz. : " 1. To take into consideration the act passed during the last session of Parliament, for regulating the supply of gas to the metropolis, and to adopt such a course as will secure to the parish the benefit thereby conferred. " 2. That the thanks of this vestry be officially conveyed to Mr. Hughes, the honorary engineer to the delegates appointed to obtain legislative pro tection against the gas monopoly, for his untiring perseverance and profepsional talent in the matter. " 3. That the thanks of this vestry be officially conveyed to Mr. Jas. Beal, the honorary secretary to the delegates, for his enterprise, talent, and, spirit in promoting the interests of the public and. this parish on the subject of the supply of gas to the metropolis." Mr. LESLIE objected to this motion upon the ground that the delegates had expended £6,000 witheut effecting the objects for which they had been appointed. In the course of a long speech he argued that both Mr. Hughes and Mr. Beal had. failed in the dut discharge of their duty, complained that Sir J. Shelley had aided those gentlemen in compromising the whole question ond in conclu sion moved an amendment as follows: " That the act constituting this representative vestry does not authorise the expenditure of the rates by irresponsible delegates ; that, after pub lishing the ultimatum of the delegates, Sir J. Shel ley, and Messrs. Beal and Hughes conducted a Parliamentary inquiry as to the large capital of, and its administration by, thirteen of the metropo litan gas companies, and after expending an enor mous sum of money they signally failed, and Par liament has recorded its judgment in the act 23 and 24 Viet., cap. 125 ; the proceedings in the House of Lords on the 7th, Bth, and 14th of August, and Mr. Beal's letter on the latter date, all establish that their lordships' house had refused to ratify a com promise ; that in deference to the Legislature, this vestry is of opinion that the act ought to have a full, fair, and unembarrassed trial, and that any further agitation by irresponsible delegates, aided by funds supplied from the public rates, would be a mistake of this vestry ; this vestry is, therefore, of opinion that amicable relations between the gas companies and the gas consumers would be the most likely course to work advantageously for the ratepayers of this parish." Mr. INGLE seconded this amendment. Mr. BERTOLACCI having vindicated his resolu tions, and argued at some length in support of the act as it stood, and Mr. ROBINSON, Mr. DOWDEN, and other gentlemen, having expressed their views, Sir J. SHELLEY defended himself from the c harge of having been a party to a prejudicial_ be men promise ; denying, in fist, that there had any compromise except upon the chargepa of ot the gas companies. As to t he failure shap e, he in e notsai said e i t t t i \ z ‘ r . g as t h e e e a c g t re passed et woe i n e d its w or h i e g n ina it l was considered that they were united gas companies, who 11 while h n i e l e t p a ipdo no d e d b b y y t t h h e e w entsp no less than water companies, and £15,000, employing they (the delegates) spenttd by Mr. Leslie, and em.- £6,000, as had been eight wh o o e r n ten y x 3,0 counsel, o, ployed only tali neither s tated by Mr. Leslie, and em,. ployed only two counsel. Mr. Leslie's amend mentcensure, and was ment was in reality vote unnodrelressesrvtch,d7foar vote o the delegates had worked hard ; they had done their best, a nd he hoped the anamendment would be withdravvn. After some further discussion, 'Air. Leslie with drew his amendment, and M. Bertolacci also with drew the original motion, the result of the discus sion being that no further steps should be taken at present in the matter, but that the act should have iliac to develop its actual working. 2'BIS DAY'S SIIIPIING.
