MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. cirY, Two o'CLooK. To-day there was an increased firmness on the Stock Exchange, and prices are generally better. Consols have gone up, and the same favourable turn has extended itself to the Foreign market. In Railways the prices are not quite so buoyant, but still on the whole an improved tone has to be re ported. Consols are now at 93S- to 93f for money ; ditto, for Account, 93i ; - Three per Cent. Re- duced, 92 11; New Tiaree per Cents, 92 11 21 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, March, 5 prem. ; June, 1 0 prem. ; ditto £lOO, £2OO, and £6OO, March, ; June, prem. ; Bank of England Stock, 4 1 per Cent., 237.

There is a rise of 1 in Egyptian, Italian, and Charkof ; and lin the Mexican, Peruvian, and Turkish. Ar gentine Bonds are quoted 81 to 811 ; Egyptian (1864), 86 to 87 ; ditto (1868), 771 to 77/ ; Ita lian, 531 to 531 ; Mexican, 131 to 131 ; Peruvian, 83 to 831 ; Charkof, 80 to 801 ; Spanish, 261 to 261 ; Turkish Five per Cents., 431 to 431. American Securities Atlantic and Great Western are 1 lower, the Bonds are 26, and Debenture 27. Erie Shares are 201 to 21 ; Illinois, 981 to 99 ; and the Five-Twenty Bonds, 831 to 831. In the Railway Market Metropolitans are 83/ to 84; Caledonians are 801 ; Great Eastern, 361 to 361 ; Great Northern, 107 to 108 ; ditto (A), 107 to 1071; Great Western, 551 to 56 ; Lancashire and - Yorkshire, 125 to 1251; London and North Western, 1181 to 1191 ; Metropolitan, 831 to 81; Midland, 1171 to 118 ; and South Eastern, 77 to 771. Lombardo-Venetian is quoted at 191 to 20 ; and Great Luxembourg, 12 to 121. In Bank Shares prices are firm. Anglo-Austrian are Bs. to 10s. prem. ; Chartered Mercantile, 32 to 33; Consolidated, 41 to 4-1; Imperial, 161 to 17; Imperial Ottoman, 2f to 21 prem. ; London and County, 48 to 49 ; London and Westminster, 581 to 591 ; Oriental, 411 to 421; London Joint- Stock, 32 to 33 ; and Union of London, 37 to 38. - Anglo-American Telegraphs are 20 to 201 ; French Cable, 161 to 161; Telegraph Construc tion and Maintenance, 321 to 321- ; Hudson's Bay, 131 to 138 ; and General Credit, 11 to 1 dis. The sum of £64,000 in bar gold was taken to the Bank yesterday, and £3,000 in sovereigns was Withdrawn. The Ceylon, from Alexandria, has brought only £2,035. With regard to the new Turkish Loan, it is stated that the contractors are not the Comptoir d'Escompte, but a combination of bankers for Whom that company have acted as agents. The issue of the prospectus will probably be delayed for two or three weeks, and the payments, it is un derstood, will be spread over a considerable time. Advices from Copenhagen state that after consi derable competition a concession has been granted by the Russian Government to Mr. Tietgen and others, through whose energy the Great Northern Cables were laid in the North Sea and Baltic, to lay cables from Posietta Bay, on the south-east coast of Siberia, to China and Japan. A company is in course of formation to carry this out imme diately, and the Russian Government will, it is said, give every assistance to connect their land lines with the company's cable, which is proposed to be carried to Shanghai, touching at Nagasaki or Osaka, and then on to Hongkong, touching at I \"ingpo, Foochow, Amoy, , and Swatow. The Manchester Courier states that at a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Leonard Clayton and Sons, spinners and manufacturers, Bury, the ba lance•sheet showed liabilities to the amount of £lB,OOO, and assets to the extent of about 10s. 4d. in the pound. An offer was made by the firm of 7 5. 6d., but this was not accepted. It was, how ever, agreed to accept 10s., with the alternative of Winding up the concern under a deed of assignment. The Manchester Examiner announces the tempo rary suspension of the firm of Kendal, Riddel, and Co., Scotch warehousemen, Manchester, pending an examination into their affairs by Messrs. Sale, Ship- Man, and Co., solicitors, and Broome, Murray, and Co., accountants. Misconception appears to prevail with respect to t he intended Exposition at St. Petersburg in 1870. Many inquiries are made by English firms and others as to the goods that will be received, but the Exhibition is to be exclusively national, and for Russian produce only. In the colonial produce market this week busi ness has been influenced by the quietude which usually prevails toward the close of the year, but prices have on the whole been maintained. The supplies of coffee have again been rather limited, the chief part comprising common qualities, which now meet with some inquiry, and the small propor tion of colory and bold brought forward has ob tained relatively high rates. Native Ceylon remains dull. The sugar market is inactive, and the low descriptions, which are the most depressed, have been sold at some decline. Of tea there have been large arrivals, and the market is quiet. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT rumps.; Per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, Dec 1. 8 Per Cent. Reduced 92 .li.

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Shannon, from the West Indies, has arrived here with 63 passengers, 66 sacks of mails, and $728,180 in specie. She landed mails and 18 passengers, and then left for Cherbourg at 6 a.rn. The mails were forwarded by the 6.45 train. Her dates are Val paraiso, Oct 3d ; Callao, 14th ; Panama, 21st ; Jamaica, 25th ; and St. Thomas, 30th. On the 30th October the Shannon passed the French Mail steamer L.K.T.N., steering for St. Thomas. At Valparaiso transactions were limited, through the unsettled state of exchange of freights. Consi derab'e sales of copper bar and regulus would have occurred if charters could have been effected. Little nitrate offering prices advanced, disposable tonnage increased. Business was expected to re vive at the end of October. The Bank and Rail way shares were rising. The prospects of the next crop are favourable. Abbe Falls earthquake predictions had proved unfounded. The time named had passed without anything occurring on the coast to cause the least excitement or alarm. Along the whole of the coast of Chili, Peru, and Equador, the finest weather prevailed. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Magellan arrived at Valparaiso on the 25th of September. Funds were being collected to erect a statue to Lord Cochrane in Valparaiso. The English ships Prince Rupert and Star of Brunswick, with cargoes of guano from the Chincha Islands, continued to be detained by the Peruvian Government on the charge of being overloaded. A sudden violent eruption of the Columbian Volcano Purace occurred on the 4th of October. 'Three•adjaceut villages and all their inhabitants were believed to be destroyed. The Panama Legislature were making further exertions to have a canal across the Isthmus of Pa nama and Darien. Flue rains had fallen at Jamaica, but too late in some districts. The coming crop was expected to be small. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. Aikman, died from in juries received in a railway accident. The Prioress aid eight Dominican nuns had died of fever at Trinidad. Archdeacon Comins was dead. At Grenada agricultural matters were in a de plorable state through the drought. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. MARSEILLES, Nov. 13. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delhi arrived here at 11.30 last night. Tha mails leave here for London at 10.45 this morning. Letters will be delivered in London on Monday morning. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. It was rumoured to-day that Leclru-Rottin was expected in France, but the news was premature. The Gaulois announces that should he come he will I ave the offer of a safe conduct, similar to that of Rochefort. As yet the entreaties of his friends have failed to move him, and the Siecle, of to-day, positively asserts that he will not come. The same journal satirically observes that the parti inassermente has sustained two severe shocks—one by this refusal, the other by the adhe sion of Emile de Girardin. The sudden declaration of the editor of the Libertd in favour of the red-hot Republi canism of M. Ledru-Rollin is certainly not a little surprising, since he has hitherto professed great anxiety for the salvation of the Empire, and the election of Lodru Rollin is a singular means to that end. The Pays, the most extreme organ of Imperialism, openly advises the citizens to elect Rochefort, Pyat, Ledru-Rollin, and Barb Cs. The Sikte does not find this extraordinary, because it believes the Pays to be anxious for an outbreak which will give an excuse for forcible action on the part of the Government, and a restoration of l'empire autoritaire of 1852. M. Gambetta has fallen under the displeasure of the ex treme party, and at an electoral meeting, held yesterday at Marseille ho was declared to be "sold," to be" incapable" and unworthy of his office of deputy. The Constitutionnel, though opposed to M. Gambetta's politics, resents this un warrantable attack on a man who is generally respected because he respects himself, and declares its conviction that the majority of the Marseille electors will only esteem M. Gambetta the more for his refusal to mix himself with the violent and turbulent party which seeks a general overthrow. The Council of State held a meeting yesterday, which was almost entirely devoted to the discussion of the Fifty-seventh Article of the Constitution, by which the mayors are nominated by the Executive, and can be chosen outside the municipal council. It is pro posed to reform this by a Senatus-consultum, the draft of which was yesterday voted by the majority of the council. It effects a change for the better, but a very partial and unsatisfactory one. The mayors must indeed in future be chosen from among the members of the municipal council under certain conditions, but they will still be nominated by the Executive instead of being elected. From statistics quoted at the council it appeared that the number of com munes was 37,500, while the mayors chosen from beyond the circle of the council were MI The Liberte alludes to the rumours that are afloat with respect to the serious illness of the King of Prussia, and says that his Majesty is suffering from an attack of rheumatism, and has to keep his room. Ilis illness was occasioned by taking too long a walk on a damp day. Among the on dies of the day is the rumour that the Emperor inspired the remarkable pastoral letter of Mgr. Darboy, Archbishop of Paris. A sad accident has just occurred at Lyons through the bursting of a copper which contained some tons of boiling fat. The shock brought the building in which the copper was erected to the ground; two men were buried in the ruins, and severely injured. M. Douet d'Alcq, examining magistrate, has finished the preliminary proceedings of the Troppmann affair, and sent the papers to the Chamber of Indictment. Troppmann's defence will be conducted by M. Lachaud. SAINT MARK'S HOSPITAL FOR FISTULA, &C CITY-lioAD.—The number of patients under treatment at this hospital during the past week amounted to 398, 27 being new cases.

Chapman and Hall are directed to send you 5 yell. viz.—Sartor & Heroes, I vel. ; Schiller & Sterling, I vol.; Cromwell, 3 veil. The utility of your enterprise will depend mainly on your judgment in selecting books—on your eaurstly and sedulously choosing books that are nourishment to the mind of a man, awl rigorously rej,cting what are poison (by far the most numerous class at present). —T. CARLYLE, Chelsea, sth Nov., 180." REPORTED COLLAPSE OF ANOTHER. METI?OPOLITAN WORK. A contemporary states that the Thames Embankment is "sliding away, from the new granite river wall direct into the deep cutting of the Metropolitan District Railway now in course of formation." In many places, particularly facing Somerset House, the pavement is heaving up and down and parting. The iron gratings round the young trees that ,are planted are disturbed, and "according to experienced excavators' opinions, should a hard winter sat in, the whple:of the Embankment will give way. To ac count,for this, danger it seems that the railway works are answerable,for in removing an immense quantity of the old river clay,for their 4cep cutting the dry rubbish shot in by the cpntractors in forming the Embankment has lost support..., How far this sinking will affect the railway works remains to be seen. At present the tunnel is com plete as far ,as the Duke of Euccleucb.'s, and up to here perhaps all is safe." LILDINIAKY tillAtilf.S AND STOCKS. raid.

The Western Mail publishes the following telegram, dated Swansea, Thursday night :--- This morning, about one o'clock, an explosion of fire-damp took place at the Herdreforgan Colliery, Cwmtwrch, Swansea Valley. Twelve men and boys were in the pit, six of whom were killed. The names of those killed are os follows :—William Hopkins, married, two children; David Davies, single; Samuel Arthur, a boy ; David Jones, a. boy ; Richard Nicholas, married , leavirg' five daughters ; Thomas Jones, single. The bodies have not yet been re covered. The searchers were in the pit for four hours, and were taken up in an exhausted condition. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Many thousands of per sons visited the scene of the catastrophe during the day. The pit has always borne the character of being exceedingly well ventilated, the owners sparing no expense to ensure the safety of the workmen. Great excitement prevails in the vicinity of the explosion. LADY =GETS OF THE GARTER. The two vacancies in the Fraternity of the Knights of the Garter offer an admirable opportunity to Mr. Gladstone to show that chivalric regard for woman's rights to which he is said by some to bo somewhat too much in clined. By adopting such a course he might conciliate private aspirations with political necessities. The prac tice of conferring blue armlets and mantles on ladies is almost as old as the order itself, and throughout the middle ages and (lays of chivalry the electior. of "Ladies of the Fraternity of St. George and of the Society of the Garter" was of no rare occurrence. According to Sir Harris Nicolas, than sehoni no ono was more unnpeteut to speak with authority, the practice declined during the wars of the Roses, in consequence of more savage habits then introduced. It was revived nnder Edward IV., and, if not cherished, at least not dis couraged by the sterner Henry VII. In the reign of Henry VIII ; in spite of that monarch's admi ration for the fair sex, the influence of women seems to have begun to decline, for they were then excluded from their anc:ent participation in the honours of the Garter. In 1638 Chad , s I. proposed in a chapter of the order that the ladies Choi 1 I resume their ancient privi leges, but the civil war freaking out prevented any further steps being taken in the matter. Since then women's rights have slumbered.—Pall Jfell Gazette. The nomination of Slleriffs for England and Wales took place on Thursday in the Court of Exchequer. Everybody is struck by the grievously care-worn looks of tho Premier. Ile seems to be in by no menus vigor ous health. It is stated that the legacy duty which Govern ment will have to receive from the estates of the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Derby, and Mr. Peabody will together amount to upwards of a million sterling. It is stated that, in the event of Mr. Corry's re tirement from the representation of Tyrone, the Conserva tives will, it is believed, bring forward Viscount Newry, and the Liberals Sir A. S hafto Adair. Mr_ Thorold Rogers, in the course of an able lec ture in the Town llall, Brighton, on Thursday, said ho had heard it rumoured iu the clubs that the Government intended to charter a Roman Catholic University in Ireland. He added that he did not believe it, and denounced the scheme amidst the plaudits of his audience. The death was announced yesterday of Charitia theme Hamilton, the mother of the late Bishop of Salis bury. Mrs. Hamilton, who was 88 years of age, attended her son's funeral in Salisbury Cathedral a few weeks since— then in perfect health. She was tho widow of the Vener able A. Hamilton, Archdeacon of Taunton. The portrait of Mr. Backhouse, M.P., was on Thursday presented to that gentleman at Darlington, as an acknowledgment by the agriculturists and his friends in the district, of services as President of the Chamber of Agricul ture, and especially of his exertions on their behalf during the prevalenc3 of the cattle plague. The presentation was made by Mr. J. W. Pease, M.P. We stated, a few weeks since, that the shipwrights employed in Davenport Dockyard in breaking up the 13ri tannia had struck, in consequence of their wages being reduced from 4s. Gd. to 3s. 6d. a day. The Western Morning News is glad to find that the Lords of the Admiralty have authorises the full rate of pay to be given to them. They therefore, receive 6s. per week additional for six weeks. With the except;on of six shipwrights and 24 labourers, the men entered for breaking up tho Britannia have all been dis charged. A Pontypridd correspondent writes :—" I am informed that all the working staff, with the excep tion of Mr. Bedlington, employed in the Ferndale Colliery—some nine in number-- have given notice to leave the employ of Messrs. D. Davies and Sons. Some fifty men, old workmen, have resolved to take the same step. it ap pears that all the men who figured as witnesses in the recent Ferndale inquest have received notice to leave ; and the men decline working under the new staff, as they believe they are unqualified to take any supervisionary part over a pit so intricate in its workings, and so dangerous from its formation." Yesterday, in the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Jam es,before Mr. Bloxatn,the chief clerk, two summonses were heard relating to the settlement of the affairs of the Albert Assurance Company. The applications were to enable the liquidators to instruct counsel to appear on the winding up of the affairs of the company. The Chief Clerk said that the application would be granted. Mr. Muscombe then asked that some rule might be laid as to the standard to be taken by the official liquidator in deciding the various claims to be sent in. The Chief Crerk said if an order was to be made it must be by the judge. There was a great Conservative meeting at Barnsley on Thursday, got up by the ladies; Alderman Cartel in the chair. The crush for admittance to the tea was so great that all the guests could not be accommodated at one time, and had consequently to sit down in two divisions. Mr. Stanhope spoke, and attributed his defeat at the last election to the riots in Barnsley, which, he alleged, enabled Mr. Beaumont to beat him by a few votes. Captain Clai ke expressed his conviction that at the next election Mr. Stanhope would be returned as one of the re presentatives of the division. There are now six candidates before the electors of the borough of Southwark, for the seat about to be vacated by Mr. Layard. The Liberals have two candidates—Sir S. Waterlow and Mr Henry Labouchere, both of whom have begun an active canvas. The Radical party have put forward Mr. Dresser Rogers, the member for Camber well Vestry at the Metropolitan Board of Works; the Secu' larists have started Mr. Chas. Bradlaugh, with whose name the borough is well placarded ; while Mr. Odger will come forward as the candidate for the Labour Represen tation League. The Conservative party are actively can vassing for Mr. Morgan Howard, who, it is stated, has secured the support .-the licensed victualling interest. TIE MALTON TRAINING GROUNDS.—We are authorised to contradict the rumour that Langton Wold will shortly be ploughed up. Mr. John Scott, of Whitewall, is the sole lessee and tenant of the Wold, and we understand he has not even heard thst such a proceeding is in contemplation. t gives us much pleasure to make this statement, as the rumour was calculated to injuriously affect the interests of the Malton trainers. , STEEPLECHASE FORFFIT LlST.—Dand)'s forfeit has been paid.

Before Lord Justice Giffard to-day an appeal was heard froala decision in the Court of Bankruptcy, to the effect that the court could not deal with the estate of the respou3ent, owing to his privileges as a peer. Sir noun(lell Palmer, Q.C., was heard against the appeal. He contended that a!though the privi leges of members of Parliament had been ditnin i.:ied iu favour of the suli2et against them, it had not extended to permit of arre.t and imprison ment for any offence except felony or breach of the rules of Parliatmnt. By the privilege; of member. of Parliament, they were guaranteed freedom of speech, and processes of law against their estate, &c., and this in the case of members of the Ilouse of Commons was to operate during the sitting of Parliament. But it had no such limit in respect to member.of the Upper Rouse. The lea: ned counsel cited Acts of Parliament from the time of Edward the Sixth ; through the different reigns down to the passing of the Act of 1861, and he quoted the dicta of Justice Gladstone, Sir Erskine May, and other jurists. He denied that, al though the law had been relaxed in favour of the creditor, the general application of the law, with respect to the privilege of members of Par liament, did not extend to the freedom from ar rest or imprisonment, which were not specified or even alluded to in any of the acts of modern legis lation. He contended that there was nothing in the Acts of bankruptcy which showed that there was any power vested in that court to contravene the privileges of the peers or members of that House in regard to the question involved in the case before the Court. The arguments were not concluded. "THE GREA 7' OXON SPEC." At Chipping Norton yesterday, - before the borough magistrates, Charles Pendleton, alias Oaxtus, proprietor of the Oxfordshire Weekly News, was charged with keep ing open a lottery called "The Great Oxon Spec," and having received a certain sum of money for tickets in the lottery. There were six informations laid against the defendant, and the hearing occupied five hours. The " Great Oxon Spec." bus been carried on in reference to all the chief race; and a large number of tickets sold to parties at a distance, but it was alleged that no draw had over taken place. Evidence having been given of defend ant's connection with the lottery, witnesses deposed that they had purchased tickets, and one, who drew Pero Pomez —the winning horse—said that defendant refused to pay him. The magistrates fined defendant .£5O and all expense; or, in default, three months' imprisonment. AQUATICS. DOUBLE-SCULLING RACE BETWEEN THE THAMES AND TYNE. We stated the probability of the Thames and Tyne crews ratifying the rzreemeut already entered into to row a pair-oared race, Kelley and Renforth each respectively to find another man to row in the pro posed match. In accordance with this understand ing the Tyne crew invited that of the Thames to meet them at Mr. W. Bla‘cey's, the Adelaide Hotel, Nowgate-street, Newcastle, at noon on Thursday. Kelley and his crow complied with the invitation, but un fortunately, owing to Taylor that morning having suf fered a domestic bereavement, the Tyne men were upwards of half an hour late, and as the Thames crew had to get back to Dunstou by a fixed time they had to leave, and the meeting came to nothing. In the course of conversation wiih Mr. Blakey, however, pending the arrival of the Tyne men, it transpired that that) had been some miscon ception as to The terms of the match, Kelley contending that he meant all along a double-scullers race, iyhereas Renforth understood him to mean a pair-oared race. lien forth and Taylor, on their part, asserted when informed of the fact that even then there should be no obstacle to the match coining off, as they stated to us—and we have their joint authority for saying so—that they would row any two men of the Thames upon whatever terms the latter had a mind to propose. The two crews met on Friday afternoon at Mr. Blakey's, when, after some slight discussion, it was ultimately arranged that Kelley and Renforth should each select a man for their respective crews, to row a Double Scullers Race, from the Old Man sion House to Scotawood Bridge, for £lOO a side. The money was posted on the spot, Mr. Holland, pf the Can terbury Hall, staking the £lOO, which had been lodged by Kelley iu his hands on the evening of the last match. The proceeding from first to last passed off most satisfac torily, there being not a single unpleasant word on either side to Mar the harmony of the meeting. W. BROWN AND W. SADLER. As briefly stated, Brown (the American Champion) arrived in Newcastle on Tuesday afternoon, by the ex press train from London, and met with a most hearty re ception, a large number of the patrons and followers of aquatic sports being present to welcome his arrival. So enthusiastic and demonstrative were the crowd, iu fact, that it was with some difficulty Lis friends could get him through the dense throng and over to Smart's Hotel, and it was only on Brown appearing at one of the upper windows and thanking them for their cordial reception that any signs of their clearing away presented themselves. Subsequently he af:joured to Mr. Brown's, the Blenheim House Hotel, Marlborough-street, the same hostelry from which Hamill trained for his me morable matches with Kelley. From this house he will pursue his training, though iu reality he will to a certain extent fraternise with the Tyne men. His daily custom is to walk from Newcastle to Scotswood (four miles) and row back; then have a short rest and row up to Scotswood and walked back, thus, in fact, walking eight miles and rowing the same distance daily ; indeed, on Thursday he accomplished this in the forenoon only, and in the after noon had a spin with Renforth and Martin in a pair to the Meadows Island and back. On Friday he went through his usual routine. We are glad to hear that both Taylor and Renforth have proforred to render him any and every assistance towards getting him fit for his forth coming match, and still further we may state that Renforth Las placed at his disposal his boat, the Adelaide, in which he himself rowed and defeated Kelley. Brown informed our correspondent that he liked the boat very much, and intended to row the race in her. W. Sadler arrived with the Thames crew on last Wednesday evening, and has been staying with them at the Dun Cow, Dunston. Up to the present time he has not gone into what may be termed severe training, but has contented himself with shod spins between his hostelry and Scots wood Bridge. There is no betting to record on the match so far. The National Committee for receiving and pre senting to his Majesty the King of the Belgians, on the part of the Volunteers of Great Britain, an address and testimonial on his arrival in this country on the 24th inst., are working most suc cessfully up to the present time. The address has already received the signatures of nearly 800 Lords Lieutenant, Mayors, and High Sheriffs, and great additions :to these are coming in daily. The exer tions of the committee have proved to be a great success, as not only are names being received in rapid succession, but subscriptions to the testimo nial are now rapidly coming to the committee room, 21, Albert-gate. MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED'S ENTERTAINMENT. —After being closed since August, we are glad to hear that the Gallery of Illustration will be reopened on the 22d of the present month. A new entertainment, written by Mr. W. S. Gilbert, entitled "Ages Ago," the music of which is by Mr. Frederic Clay, will inaugurate the forthcoming " season." The Trustees .of the Cooper Union have now completed the comprehensive scheme for the free tech nical education of working men originally contemplated by a trust deed of Mr. Cooper, by the establishment of a permanent course on Machinery and Mechanical Engi neering.

Ile was interred on Thursday week at Highgate Cemetery, having been followed to the grave by his friends, Mr. H. Hargreaves and Mr. G. liuckoke, &e. BREAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.— GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—Tho very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Serciee Gazette remarks : —" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any exp3rimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."

I —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Security against Bad Health.—With the cool, shortening days of autumn, maladies will be made manifest unless the blood be pure and the skin be active. Eruptions, blotches, and more formidable skin affections, may be successfully subjugated by the use of Holloway's detergent ointment, when it is aided by moderate doses of his purifying pills. Hoarseness, sore throat, chronic cough, enlarged glands, and stiff neck will be at once relieved by rubbing this cool inz ointment upon the skin overlaying or adjacent to the afflicted parts. Diphtheria, formerly called malignant sore throat—an old disease under a new name—is effectually. met at its onset by the autiphlogistic and detergent influ ences of these celebrated medicaments.
