MONEY VA itICET AND CITY NEW CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the absence of further supplies of gold from Australia and America, the influx of specie at the Bank of England has been temporarily suspended ; but owing to the large consignments coming for ward from Victoria it is likely to be resumed at an early date. In consequence of the payment of the October dividends, the stock of bullion may be t emporarily diminished, owing to the stimulus thus given to the circulation. Besides the remmittances expected from Australia the position of the ex changes at New York renders it probable that further shipments of gold will arrive from that source of supply. The Athenian, from the West Coast of Africa, has been announced this morning with £lO,OOO in specie. There is rather less activity in the general dis count market, owing to the dividend payments which have increased the available supplies, and temporarily diminished the inquiry. As the rates, however, have ranged as low as 21 per cent. for some days past no further alteration can be re ported, nor is it expected that any material change will ensue. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and 8,000 bales were disposed of at former values. In the Railway Share Market business continued very quiet, and prices were without any important change. The market for Public Securities remains in a very quiet state, the transactions for money, as well as the account, having been limited, but the quotations exhibit little variation. The favourable position of monetary affairs supports the quota tions, notwithstanding the continued paucity of business. Consols, which closed yesterday at 951 I, have been 953 96, although the market at one time appeared rather heavy. A buoyant tone, however, now prevails, a few purchases having been sufficient to create an upward tendency. The New Three per Cents, are rather flatter, at 94.1 1, and the Re duced at 94 1 1 s ; Bank Stock is steady, at 221; India ditto is firm, at 219 ; ditto New is steady, at 1013 to 102 ; and ditto Scrip at 1011 to 102 ; the Loan Debentures (1858) have advanced to 961 ; ditto (1859), remain at 951 ; and Exche quer Bills at 245. to 275. prem. Only a very small amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices in most instances show a decline. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 80 ; ditto New, 68; to 691 ; and the 4 per Cents. have receded to 1021 ; Buenos Ayres Deferred, to 191 and 200 ; and Mexican, to 22 I. Russian 3 per Cents, are steady, at 671 ; and Portuguese 3 per Cents, are firm, at 461. The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round numbers as under : 1859.

On the North-Western it amounts to £7,258 ; on the South-Western, to £2,585 ; on the Brighton, to £1,187 ; on the Mid land, to £3,105; on the South-Eastern, to £1,629 ; and on the Great Northern it only amounted to £46. The Lancashire and Yorkshire shows an improvement of .£4,452 ; the North Eastern, of £3,128 ; the Edinburgh and Glasgow, of £478 ; and the Grand Trunk of Canana, of £1,712. On the Great Western there is a diminntion of £1,657, and on the Great Western of Canada of £2,223. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, and in some instances lower rates have been current. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland have declined ss. ; Great Northern improved ss. ; and London and Blackwall, lOs to 15s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the deal ings have been extremely limited. Antwerp and Rotterdam brought 41; East Indian declined to 100 ; Grand Trunk of Canada to 781 ; and Great Western of Canada brought 13k. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown a slight depression. BaEk of Egypt have receded to 201 ; London and County to 301.

Drake wa s engage d a t this time on an expedition I; ° , d whien et on mild judges would consider as closely "lug on the piratical. He was deeply laden with bo o t y, to wh i ch he ha d h e l pe d hi mse lf w ith ou t scr uple all th roug h th e Sp an ish main. Yet here word, find hi m no bl y sus t a i n i ng hi s mon out of God's and through life referring his actions habitu ally to th e j udgment and approva l o f Ch r i s t. What tae to say of his Christianity ? Muscular, cer v,tY •! It could take in with a good conscience all t he bold and strong-handed deeds of a stormy life and storm y time. Neither the blood of battle nor the l i o (ii l f . B of war came amiss to it, nor stern vengeance, n fierce hate of what should be hateful to all good n• And yet do not confound it with the mus cular Christianity of the school which is rising to s ome str eng th among u s, which seems to preach t he prid e o f th e fl es h as o ne of the central doctrines of Christ's Gospel ; and whose creed, if fairly Written ou t , wou ld apparen tly be something like this" I believe in a Christian six foot two, who t he pull stroke in the Oxford Eighth, or bowl in e All E ng l an d El even , or w ho can fell a London d in d r aYroan at a blow." Perhaps Drake could have ne all this ; certainly he did much more ; but he aid not regard these things as specially his God given vocation. His whole life was muscular, e Yerything w hi c h he did was forceful, and his re ligion got married naturally to a thousand strong handed thi ngs w hi c h it belonged to the men and to his age to do • but it was not specially yoked on to jots of proud force or daring, and paraded with See how muscular my Christianity is !" be fore the the face of an admiring because feeble and world. I rather fear this homage to the pride of the flesh," characteristic of a reign ing school. Ido not read that the strength of the fles h was one of the leading strengths of our Lord. I have read of it in pagan schools, I have heard that it is throned on Olympus, but not in the school o f Christ—not among the white-robed in heaven. 'The Eclectic for October. ANOTHER TRADE OUTRAGE NEAR SHEFFIELD.— ES TRUCTION OF PROPERTY. — A bOIIt half - past fouro'clock ( 2 1,1 Tuesday the inhabitants of Eckington were awoke by a tre mendous explosion, shaking the whole of the village. Upon, inquiring the cause, it was found that the warehouse hTt. M. Keeton, scythe, sickle, and hook manufacturer, bbeen destroyed by gunpowder, the whole o f the p lace ti e l l g' a ruin. The only ground for the outrage i s that since 0 strike Mr. Keeton's men have not worked ; he having Atomised them that he would inform them after his return fr om an Irish journey in which he is now engaged whether .43 could give an advance or not; but it seems that they have not waited his return.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) WILLIAMSON V. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COM- PANY..--SINGULAR OMNIBUS COLLISION. This was an action to recover a sum of money as com pensation for damages sustained through the alleged negli gent driving of defendants' servant. Plaintiff is an omnibus proprietor, driving his own'bus, and according to his state ment the conductor was letting out some passengers in Gracechurch-street, when defendants' bus came up and ran into that driven by plaintiff. A van driver was called and corroborated plaintiff's testi- mony. Mr. Beard, for the company, said he had ample evidence to show that the damage was occasioned by the van driver running into defendant's bus. The van driver should be the defendant. A person named Polt said he was riding on defendants' omnibus on the day in question. He heard the van driver threaten defendants' coachman, and subsequently saw him deliberately run against the bus, thereby forcing it against that driven by plaintiff. His Honour would not trouble Mr. Beard for any more evidence, but found for defendants with costs. Plaintiff should sue the van driver or owner of the van. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. DILLMOTT--. REFUSAL TO HEAR AN ATTORNEY'S CLERK. This was an action to recover the carriage of some bags of artificial manure, and demurrage of certain bags of the same left on the plaintiffs' premises. When the case was called on, an attorney's clerk said he expected his counsel every moment. _ _ _ Mr. Charnock, of King William-street, said that defen dant could not consent to wait. He was quite ready to go on. The attorney's clerk said ha would go on with hie Hon our's permission. His Honour said ho had laid down a rule not to hear an attorney's clerk, and he could not now break through it. He would adjourn the case. Mr. Charnock—l must apply for my costs. The case was adjourned upon payment of costs. Subsequently the counsel arrived, but too late, the parties having retired. RAMSGATE COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Harwood.) SINGULAR CASE UNDER TILE INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT. -HART V. lIVMPIIREYS. Plaintiff is a jeweller, of Ramsgate, and defendant is the proprietor of the Tivoli Gardens, at Margate. The amount sought to be recovered was £8 lls. 4d. for work done and goods supplied. Defendant said he had been adjudicated an insolvent, at Maidstone, under the 1 and 2 Vic. Ho produced a certi fied office copy of that portion of the schedule containing plaintiff's claim. Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, London, for plain tiff, observed that defendant had only entered plaintiff as a creditor for S 4 18s., and inquired if defendant produced his adjudication. Upon being answered in the negative, His Honour said the case must bo adjourned. Mr. Buchanan—Before that course is adopted I should like to ask plaintiff a question. (To p l a i n tiff)— Did you not send defendant a copy o f your accoun t b e f o re he peti tioned the court ? Plaintiff—Yes. He h a d an account i n S e pt e mber, or three months before. Mr. Buchanan said he believed it had been decided that where a debtor inserted his creditor for a sum less than £5 the debt being in reality above £5 he could not avail him self of the plea of insolvency-, but was answerable for the whole debt. His Honour did not think defendant had wilfully misstated the amount. Mr. Buchanan—We had no notice. His Honour—You have the Gazette. The case was then adjourned for the production of the adjudication, and for Mr. Buchanan to produce cases. MARGATE COUNTY couRT.: SURVEYORS' CHARGES-^IWRIVIN V CRUTCHLEY. ---- - This was an action to recover £32 balance of an amount of £4l, money lent. Defendant pleaded a set-off of £4l for work done in endeavouring to finish some houses for plaintiff, a captain in the army. Mr. Buchanan said that nothing was ever said about this set-off until defendant was sued. If defendant could re cover before his sot-off he would certainly be coining money. His Honour, after examining defendant's account, show ing that he had paid £5, and £4 on account of the loan, found for plaintiff for £27 with costs, allowing defendant £5 for work done. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. David Hughes, solicitor, 13, Grosham-street, City, charged with absconding and defrauding his creditors, was again placed at the bar on a further charge of stealing £l,OOO, belonging to Mr. Fair, at 10 o'clock this forenoon. The evidence taken on the last sitting of the court was read over and signed by the witnesses. Mr. Pollard prosecuted, and Mr. Morgan (of the firm of Messrs. lalumphrey, Son, and Morgan) defended the pri ■oner. Mr. John Satchell, solicitor, produced an assignment of a house, No. 13, Grove Villas, Highbury-barn, 30th April, 1855 ; term of lease, 98 years ; ground rent, £lO 4s. 9d. ; con sideration, £945 ; executed by the bankrupt and William Anderson in witness's presence. William Haynes was clerk to the bankrupt for 10 years, and did not know of any business transactions in the matter referred to in the letter of 15th January that required an advance of £5,000. Cross -examined—There were two common law clerks and two conveyancing clerks in the office, and he could find no entries in the book, either present or prospective, as to the £5,000. An offer of business would not be entered in his books unless something resulted from it. He could not say the statement in the letter was false. Re-examined—lf anything resulted from it it would have appeared in the books, and ho could not find it. Witness was not aware that this letter had ever been written or an advance of £5,000 afterwards to any person. This com pleted the evidence on this part of the case. t ru s '.rho te en Act e xt c w h i a t h r g r e m it e g i a v i i n n s g t him an w d asu nde accounting r the F r f a o u r d l u In B e 3o T money received by him as bailee for Mr. George Fag on a mortgage on houses, No. 5,6, 7,8, 9, and 10, in Shannon terrace, Dalston, for £l,OO O mortgag ed by the prisoner to h a n i s d c b l e y r k h , m to 0 William ir Lewis,Gilbert.

On 22d April, 1858, received the letter produced, informing him that the property was sold and wanting lip the title-deeds, which were given to him on the assurance that I would get an equally good security for my money, or my money. I afterwards received a letter from Mr. Haynes asking me to complete the purchase, and I received on the sth June, 1858, the deed produced, but did not receive the £l,OOO, but by letter authorised Mr. Gilbert to pay it to his solici tor, the prisoner.

I never received a shilling or any security for my £l,OOO. Cross-examined--I was to be paid interest for it by the prisoner. The prisoner was to get me a fresh mortgage. it was not understood that I was to lose any interest—he said he would take care of that. I did not _receive the interest when the money was paid. He did not say that he had any security for me in June, when I signed the authority to pay him my money. I did not expect him to pay me interest until he got me a mortgage. Five per cent. was the interest, and not six. Mr. Robert Gilbert, baker,. 35, Union-street, Bishops gate-street, said he purchased the houses in question for £1,030, and deposited 20 per cent. in the auction-room, £2OO. On June 25, 1858, the purchase was completed, and he paid £B3O as the balance, in Bank of England notes, to the pri soner. He received Mr. Fag's written authority to pay him, and the deeds were handed over to witness. Mr. Fag was not present at the time. The £2OO was paid to I►lr. Reynolds, auctioneer. Mr. Thomas' Ballantine Hewitson produced prisoner's bank cash-book, and found £4 ss. 6d., July 24, 1858, was the last transaction. Mr. Henry Palmer was at Liverpool on the 6th April, 1858, and saw the prisoner and his family on board the Rod Jacket, bound for Australia, and saw her towed out of the harbour. Detective officer James Brett proved his going after the prisoner to Australia, and bringing him to this country. The further consideration of the case was adjourned till next Wednesday at 10 o'clock. Mr. Morgan asked the bankrupt's watch and some per sonal property to be given up, but Mr. Alderman Law rence declined to interfere, leaving the assignees to settle the matter. Mr. Polard said he had no power to give up any personal property of the bankrupt, and considering the great amount of property taken by him, he could not advise any to be returned. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR APPLICATION AT A SOLDIER'S WIFE.—TRE CONSEQUENCE OF REFUSING TO JOIN.—A decent-looking woman applied to the magistrate (Mr. Beadon) for his THE LATE MR. R. STEPHENSON, M.P. The death of Stephenson comes with startling rapidity upon that of Brunel. Both men of rare genius, and both occupying a sort of double throne at the head of their profession, they have gone to their rest together, and their rivalry has ceased. Distinguished sons of distinguished fathers, the two men who in these latter years have done most to perfect the art of travel, and in this way to culti vate social intercourse, multiply wealth, and ad vance civilisation, have been struck down at one feel swoop in all the maturity of their power. Mr. Stephencon's health had been delicate for about two years, and he complained of failing strength before his last journey to Norway. In Norway he became very unwell; his liver was so much affected that he hurried home, and when be arrived at Lowestoft he was so weak that he had to be carried from his yacht to the railway station, and thence to his residence in Glocester-square, where his malady grew so rapidly as to leave from the first but faint hopes of his recovery. He had not strength enough to resist the disease, and he gradually sunk until at length he expired yesterday morning. If his loss will be f e lt severe l y i n hi s pro f ess i on, it will be still more p o i gnan tl y f e l t i n hi s large circle of friends and acquaintances, for he was as good as he was great, an d t h e man was even more to be ad mired than the engineer. His benevolence was un bounded, and every year he expended thousands in doing good. unseen. His chief care in this way was for the children of old friends who had been kind to him in early. life, sending them to the best schools and providing f or t h em with characteristic generosity. His own pupils regarded him with a sort of worship, and the number of men belonging to the Stephenson school who have taken very high rank in their peculiar walk shows h ow successful be was in his system of training, and how strong was the force of his example. The feeling of his friends and associates was not less warm. A man of the soundest judgment and the strictest probity, with a noble heart and most genial manner, he won the confidence of all who knew him, and perhaps in all London there were not more plea sant social gatherings than those which were to be found in his house in Gl o c es t er - square , he him self being the life of the party. Without a spark of professional jealousy in his own nature, he was liked by all his fellOw engineers, if they did not know him sufficiently to bear him affection ; and we do not believe that even those who had the most reason to wish him out of the way, such as the promoters of the Suez Canal, which he strenuously opposed, ever bore him any ill will. He has passed away, if not very full of years, yet very full of honours—the creator of public works, a benefactor of his race, the idol of his friends. He was certainly born under very humble cir cumstances. George Stephenson, his father, deemed himself a right happy man when, on earnings of £1 a-weekrhe could offer his hand and fortune to the pretty farm servant, Fanny Henderson. He took her to his home at Willington-quay, on the north bank of the Tyne, about six miles below Newcastle, towards the end of 1802, and his biographer tells us that his signature, as it appears in the parish books on the occasion of his marriage, was that of a person who had just learnt to write. On the 16th of December in the following year George Stephenson's only son, Robert, was born ; and there on Willington-quay he was familiarised from his earliest years with the steady industry of his parents, for when his father was not busy in shoe making, or cutting out shoe lasts, or cleaning clocks, or making clothes for the pitmen, he was occupied with some drawing or model with which he sought to improve himself. Robert's mother very soon died, and his father, whose heart was bound up in the boy, had to take the sole charge of him. George Stephenson felt deeply his own want of education, and in order that his son might not suffer from the same cause, sent him first to a school at Long Benton, and afterwards to the school of a Mr. Bruce, in Newcastle, one of the best seminaries of the district, although the latter was rather expensive for Stephenson. There youngßobert remained for three years, and his father not only encouraged him to study for himself but also made him in a measure the instrument of his own better education, by getting the lad to read for him at the library in Newcastle, and bring home the results of his weekly acquirements, as well as frequently a scientific book which father and son studied to gether. On leaving school, at the age of 15, Robert Stephenson was apprenticed to Mr. Nicholas Wood, at Chillingworth, to learn the business of the col- liery, where he served for three years, and became familiar with all the departments of underground work. His father was engaged at the same col liery, and the evenings of both were usually de voted to their mutual improvement. Mr. Smiles describes the animated discussions which in this way took place in their humble cottage, these dis• cussions frequently turning on the then compara tively unknown powers of the locomotive engine daily at work on the waggon-way. The son was even more enthusiastic than the father on the sub ject. Robert would suggest alterations and im provements in all the details of the machine. The father would make every possible objection, de fending the existing arrangements, but proud, nevertheless, of his son's suggestions, often warmed by his brilliant anticipations of the triumph of the locomotive, and perhaps anxious to pump him as much as he could. It was probably out of these discussions that there arose in Gorge Stephenson's mind the desire to give his son a still better educa tion. He sent him in the year 1820 to the Edin burgh University, where Hope was lecturing on chymistry, Sir John Leslie on natural philosophy, and Jameson on hatural history. Though young Stephenson remained in Edinburgh but six months it is supposed that he did as much work in that time as most students do in a three years' course. It cost his father some £BO, but the money was not grudged when the son returned to Chillingworth in the summer of 1821, bringing with him the prize for mathematics, which he had gained at the Uni versity. In 1822 Robert Stephenson was apprenticed to his father, who had by this time started his loco motive manufactory at Newcastle; but his health giving way after a couple of years' exertion, he accepted a commission to examine the gold and silver mines of South America. The change of air and scene contributed to the restoration of his health, and, after having founded the River Mining. Company of Columbia, he returned to Eng land in December, 1827, by way of the United States and Canada, in time to assist his father in the arrangements of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, by placing himself at the head of the fac tory at Newcastle. About this time, indeed, he seems to have almost .exelusively devoted his atten tion to the study of the locomotive engine, the working of which he explained jointly with Mr. Locke, in a report replying to that of Messrs. Walker and Rastrick, who advocated stationary engines. How well he succeeded in carrying out the ideas of his father was afterwards seen when he obtained the prize of £5OO offered by the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway for the best locomotive. He himself gave the entire credit of the invention to his father and Mr. Booth, al though we believe that the " Rocket," which was the designation of his prize-winning engine, was entered in the name of Robert Stephenson. Even this locomotive, however, was far from perfect, and was not destined to be the future model. The young engineer s tw where the machine was defective, :Ind designed the " Planet," which, with its multitubular boiler, with cylinders in the smoke-box, with its cranked axeltree, and with its external framework, forms, in spite of some modifications, the type of our locomotive engines employed up to the present day. About the same time he designed for the United States an engine specially adapted to the curves of American railways, and named it the " Bogie," after a kind of low waggon used on the quay at Newcastle. To Robert Stephenson we are accordingly indebted for the type of the locomotive engines Used in both hemisphere s. The next great work upon which Mr. Stephenson was engaged was the survey and construction of t he London and Birmingham Railway, which he under took in 1832. He had already been employed i n the execution of a branch from the L iverpool and Manchester Railway, and in the construction of the Leicester and Swanningten line, so that he brought to his new undertaking considerable experience. On being appointed engineer to the company he settled in London, and had the satisfaction of seeing the first sod cut on the Ist of June, 1835, at Chalk Farm. The line was completed in four years, and on the 15th of September, 1838, was opened. The difficulties of this vast undertaking are now all forgotten, but at the time they were so formidable that one poor fellow, who had contracted for the Kilsby tunnel, died of fright at the responsibility which he had assumed. It was ascertained that about 200 yards from the south end of the tunnel there existed, overlaid by a bed of clay 40 feet thick, a hidden quicksand. The danger was so im minent that it was seriously proposed to abandon the tannel altogether, but Robert Stephenson ac cepted the responsibility of proceeding, and in the end conquered every difficulty. He worked with amazing energy, walking the whol e di s t ance be tween London and Birmingham more than twenty times in the course of his superintendence. All this time, however, he had not ceased to devote his attention to the manuflictory in Newcastle, con vinced that good locomotives are the first step to rapid transit ; and his assistance was sought by many companies anxious to secure his advice if not more constant service. His evidence before Parlia mentary committees was grasped at, and it may be said that in one way or another he has been en gaged on all the railways in England, while in conjunction with his father he has directed the execution of more than a third of the.various lines in the country. Father and son were consulted as to the Belgium system of railways, and obtained from King Leopold the Cross of the Legion of Honour in 1844. For similar services performed in Norway, which he visited in 1846, Robert Stephen son received the Grand Cross of St. Olof. So also he assi s t e d e ith er i n actua ll y ma ki ng or in laying out the systems of lines in Switzerland, in Germany, in Denmark, in Tuscany, in Canada, in Egypt, and in India. A s th e c h amp i on o f loco motivein opposition to stationary engines, he re sisted to the uttermost the atmospheric railway system, which was backed with the authority of Brunel, and had at ono time a considerable re pute, although it is now nearly forgotten. In like manner he had to fight with Mr. Brunel the battle of the gauges, the narrow against the broad gauge, and it is superfluous to say that he was suc cessful here as in all his undertakings. In the sphere of railways he has been since the death of his father the foremost man, the safest guide, the most active worker. Of his railway doings we have spoken in very general terms, only mentioning the great Kilsby tunnel incidentally. It is, however, in this tunnel ' and in the bridges which he erected for railway purposes that his genius as an engineer is most strikingly displayed, and by these it is that he will be best remembered. Of his bridges, of course, we refer to the high level one at Newcastle, constructed of wood and iron, to the Victoria-bridge at Ber wick, built of stone and brick, to the bridge in wrought and cast iron across the Nile, to the Con way and the Britannia bridges over the Menai Straits, and to the Victoria-bridge over the St. Law rence. Those who care to examine the matter more closely will find a full account of most of these works in an article on iron bridges contributed by Mr. Stephenson himself to the Encyclopaedia Brt tannica. They, are all splendid works, and have made his name famous over the world. The idea of the tubular bridge was an utter novelty, and, as carried out at the Menai Straits, was a grand achievement. Considering the enormous span of a bridg e p l ace d across these straits, the immense weight which it has to sustain, and the height to which it must be raised in order that great ships may pass beneath, the undertaking seemed chime rical, and he must have been a man of great daring, as well as of no common experience, who could think of conquerin g the difficulty. Robert Stephen son, however, fairly faced the difficulty, and threw bridges of 460 feet span from pier to pier across this formidable gulf. It was the first thing of the kind ever attempted, and the success was so triumphant that under Mr. Stephenson's auspices it has been repeated more than once. In the Egyptian railway there are two tubular bridges, one over the Damietta branch of the Nile, and the other over the large canal near Becket-al-Saba; but they have this peculiarity, that the trains run not, as at the Menai Straits, within the tube, but on the outside -upon the top. It is with this method of tubular bridging that Stephenson's name is peculiarly identified, and by which he will pro bably be best known to posterity as distinguished from his father, who has almost the entire credit of the railway system. It will nOt be supposed that Mr. Robert Stephen son's labours were confined to the construction and survey of railways. We have reports of his on the London and Liverpool systems of waterworks. In 1847 he was returned as member of Parliament for Whitby, in the Conversative interest. He took a great interest in all scientific investigations, and was a member of more than one scientific society. As a specimen of his liberality in the cause of science, it may be mentioned that he placed his yacht the Titania—and it is said he had the best manned yacht in the squadron —at the disposal of Professor Piazzi Smyth, who was sent out with very limited means to Teneriffe to make sundry scientific observations, and thus materially assisted the researches of that gentleman. In the same spirit he came forward in 1855, and paid off a debt amounting to £3,100, whi c h the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society had incurred, his motive being, to use his own phrase, gratitude for the benefits which he himself had received from it in early life, and a hope that other young men might find it equally useful. It was like the man to do so, for, as we have already suggested, his heart was worthy of his head, and in one form or another he was always doing good. assistance. The applicant said she received an order at Preston, Lan. eashire, to go to Southampton, and there go on board a ship bound for Madras to join her husband, a soldier, at Rangoon. She went on board with her two children, and when near the landing stairs she jumped from the ship, leaving her two children on board, and mady her way to London. Mr. Beadon asked her why she did so. The applicant said she was frightened to go the voyage. She left the ship thinking they would give her her children. Mr. Beadon said he could do nothing. He was not going to send her back again. She should have stopped and got her children out. The applicant said the order came to her from the War office, but she did not wish to go. She had never been in a vessel before, and she was frightened of the rats, and her children wanted to leave. If she had thrown them out they would have been killed. She asked the man who was appointed over them from the shipping office to give her her children, but he refused. She then made up her mind to come to London, and a lady gave her 45., and she had pledged some of her clothes at Southampton and came by the ailway. Others had left the ship besides her. If she had gone the pay she had been receiving (10d. a day) would have been stopped by the War-office. Her only brother, who was a soldier in the 45th at Preston, had given her also snch a description of the voyage that she was frightened to go, and she did not wish to leave her home. Mr. Beadon said she had done the maddest thing she could have done. She had abandoned her children. He was not at present satisfied with her statement. She had better go to the War-office, and he would send one of the officers with her. The applicant said it was all true. Subsequently O'Shaughnessy, a very intelligent officer of the court, and who used great diligence, reported that he had been to the War-office, and was from there referred to the Quartermaster-General's Office at the Horse Guards, where be received every assistance and information from Col. Clifford, and which showed that the woman's state ment was quite correct. The colonel said he would tele graph to the office at Southampton to have her two children disembarked. He also gave her an order to travel by train from London to Sodthampton and from Southampton to London free ; and the colonel, who had behaved in the kindest possible manner, also personally gave the woman 6s. to assist her on her journey, for which she seemed very thankful. The consequence of the woman's refusing the grant of being passed to India to join her husband is that the allow ance of 10d. a day will henceforward be discontinued. THAMES. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—Christopher Broughton, a man about 30 years of age, and described'as a commercial traveller, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with forging an order for the delivery of goods, with intent to defraud Mr. Daniel Spalding Cannon, tobacco manufac turer, trading under the name of D. T. Spalding and Co., in Royal Mint-street, better known as Rosemary-lane. Mr. Chas. Young, solicitor, stated the case for the prose cution. The prisoner had been in the service of the prose cutor for three months, and it was his duty to obtain orders for tobacco and cigars, receive money for the same, and ac count for it immediately to his employer. The only case ho intended to establish at present was the fol lowing :—On the 13th of August last the prisoner delivered an order to his employer for 61bs. of cigars, purporting to be signed by Mr. John Boakes, the landlord of the White Hart, public-house, in the Strand. The goods were accordingly delivered to the prisoner, and he was furnished with an invoice for the same. The amount charged was £3 55., including 2s. for the box. He would now prove that Mr. Boakes had never ordered any cigars of the prisoner, who had appropriated the cigars in another way. Mr. Cannon said, that when the 61bs. of cigars were given to the prisoner he said he would deliver them himself, and a day or two afterwards brought to him a note as if the goods had been delivered to Mr. Boakes. The prisoner was to have 5 per cent. commission upon all orders he received. Mr. Boakes said he had never ordered any cigars of the prisoner. Mr. Young then asked for a remand, and said the pri soner, in addition to having obtained goods of Mr. Cannon under false pretences had also embezzled various sums of money ho had received of customers for goods supplied. He believed the prisoner's defalcations amounted to about £lOO. Mr. Pringle, a solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said he was a person of considerable respectability, and as far as the commission went there had been no settlement of accounts. The prisoner was very ill, and in the position he was in it was very necessary he should be out upon bail. Mr. Selfe—l will take good and substantial bail—two sureties of £lOO each. The prisoner was unable to find bail, and was remanded to prison for a week. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. Lo?mow Oct. 13.—Wind this day at noon, North- East ; light breeze and hazy, but inclining to be fine.

The October tryst opened on Monday on the Muir, the ;stock las usual being sheep. English dealers were not forward in such numbers as has been frequently witnessed, though the usual num bers of flock-masters from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dumfries, and the south and east of Scotland, were observable. At the close of the market a few in ferior lots of all kinds were left unsold. In con trast with recent markets, wethers were in demand to-day, and ewes were a d rug i n the market in many instances. The Cheviot wethers in almost every case supported the prices of last month ; and the sales effected after that time were from 2s. to 35., and in some instances 4s, below last month's prices. The blackfaced wethers of the better quality came near last year's rates; but the second and in ferior kinds would be about 5 per cent. below the corresponding market of last month.. The ewes were rather a stiff sale, and a depreci ation had to be submitted to on the better qualities of 6d., and on the inferior kinds from ls, to Is. 6d. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. About an average time-of-year supply of beasts was on sale here to-day, as to number ; but the general quality of the stock was inferior. The beef trade ruled steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, and all breeds sold steadily, at prices quite equal to those realised on Monday. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, were in active re quest, at an improvement in value of from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. There was rather more doing in pigs and milch cows, at extreme rates.

Bene dict, in conjunction with D r. J ames Pech, has determined to organ ise an amateur instrumental department in connec tion with the above association," to be called the' Vocal and Instrumental Association," for the practice of over tures, symphonies, cantatas, masses, anthems, and any music that may be suitable for band and chorus conjointly, or separately, and that in the course of the season two or more concerts will be given by its members. We need hardly remind our readers tha+, educationally speaking, this is a step in the right direction ; and no doubt the many amateurs with which this metropolis abounds, will be found to e m b race suc h an oppor t un ity f or practising and studying the best vocal and instrumental compositions of the great masters, under the . able direction of tw o suc h accomplished musicians. Mus ical World. ,GAMBLING IN FRANCE.—The law authorities of Tours lately received information that the passion for play had much increased among the lower orders i n th e neigh bourhood of that city; and having made an investigation, they learned that small farmers and workmen had been in the habit of playing, and many of them had lost what for persons in their station were large sums. Thus a young peasant had lost as much as 3,000 f. to a schoolmaster another of some property h a d b een en ti re l y ru i ned, and had been obliged to become a workman in a white-lead manufactory ; a third had lost not only all his money, but his cart and horse ; whilst others being ruined, had had recourse to swindling. The investigation of the authori ties led to the discovery that the gambling had been chiefly carried en in the cafe of one Dumoulin, at Blere, and in the houses of a stone-mason and a farmer, named Shuillier and Lubin, at Franceuil. These three men wer e . in con sequence lately brought to trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Tours, on the charge of keep ing clandestine gambling-houses. It was clearly proved tha t they had allowed people to meet in their hou a to ce f t i l L had supplied them with drink, and had levie d i a ll Ura the fo ir r h ea o c us h e g s a w m e e re ; the Other two condemned Dumoulin to two montlr_, outhi and Lubin men each to a week's imprisonment ; Dum f a ro ls m o that pOOO on . s to om it o ,so n of ig ... h i ts the Th su tr n i ts un lo a st l , and besides each to 100 f. fine.
