4IONEY AIARKE.T AND CITY 117L'In5. CITY, Two o'CLocK. ANOTHER RISE IN THE RATE OF DIS- COUNT. It was announced shortly after 12 o'clock that the Bank directors had raised the rate from 5 to 6 per cent., but the measure created little surprise, because the public were fully aware that the pres sure upon the resources of the establishment had increased rather than diminished. The return, which will appear in the Gazette to-morrow even ing, is expected to show a considerable augmenta tion in the Other Securities, as well as an exten sive decline in the bullion. The withdrawals effected since the date of the last balance-sheet, exclusive of the amount that may be taken to-day, the particulars of which have not yet transpired, have exceeded three-quarters of a million sterling. This anomalous state of affairs will, it is feared, create great distress in commercial circles, owing to the eiffieulties it will place in the way of small, but respectable firms, who will have to pay the most onerous terms for accommodation. The further withdrawal of £335,000 in gold from the Bank of England, and the intimation that con tracts have been made for additional supplies, have naturally induced an expectation that the rate of discount would be carried to a higher point, and many parties were fully prepared for an alteration yesterday afternoon. It is scarcely necessary to state that the impression that fresh restrictions might be immediately adopted led to considerable pressure, the mercantile community deeming it prudent to obtain accommodation while the terms remained unchanged. Capitalists, for some reason, however, were by no means eager to employ their resources at the current rates, and in many cases business, even in first-class bills, is stated to have been refused at 5 per cent, The interest has been advertised for payment on the Chitin 41 per Cent. Bonds, and Brazilian 5 per Cents. An instalment of 10 per cent. became due to-day on the Russian 41 per cent. loan of £5,000,000. To day a call of £2 per share, amounting to £1,500,000 is due on the Lombard)-Venetian and South Austrian Railway shares, and of £2 per share, or £200,000 on the San Paulo Railway. Official notice has been given that the capital and arrears of inteYest of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway will be paid to the shareholders at the London and Westminster Bank on and after the Ist proximo. Increased dullness prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and prices of all de scriptions were 1-d. per lb. lower. The sales did not exceed 3,000 bales. The effect of the advance in the rate upon the Stock Exchange Markets has been comparatively limited, Consols being 921 93 for money, and 93 to 934- for account, or the same as they were at the close of business on the previous afternoon. Some purchases for transfer have tended to prevent depression. The increase in the value of money seems to have been anticipated, and speculators have not felt disposed to operate extensively for the fall. The New Threes are firmer at 917 4 1 ; the Reduced remain at 911 Bank Stock is fiat at 233 ; India ditto has improved to 222 and and 224; ditto New Loan to 1031 1; but Exche quer Bills are heavy at ss. and 3s. dis. _ _ A fair amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices are well 'maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 74; ditto New, 561 to 57*; Mexican are firmer at 21 1 ; Spanish at 491 ; ditto Deferred at 401 1 ; and Russian 42 per Cents. to 94 t ; Sardinian remain at 87 ; but Buenos Ayres Defered are flat at 294 30; Dutch 4 per Cents. are 99a, being flat. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are li 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, I -',T i prem.; and the Universal, I f prem.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and prices have in most instances shown a downward movement, notwithstanding the favourable character of the traffic returns. Great Northern have been particularly flat, having declined fully 12.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-EVANS V. CARRINGTON. The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this morning. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRIPH LONGLEATE lIANDICA P. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard in reply. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood in favour of the defendants. The plaintiff, Omwell Lloyed Evans, filed his bill against Mary Sophia, his wife, from whom he had been divorced, and George Carrington, the surviving trustee of the settle ment made on the marriage of the plaintiff and his said late wife, and Frederick Alfred Carrington, the present trustee of the deed made on the separation of the same parties, and to set aside the beforementioned settlement and separation deed, in order to relieve the plaintiff from his liability under it. At the conclusion of the arguments the Lord Chan cellor reserved judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Mr. Justice Wills and a Common Jury.) XINGSTON V. COLLARD. This was an action brought to recover damages for injury sustained by plaintiff, by reason of the negligence of the defendants' servant. Mr. Beasly appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Collier and Mr. Joyce for the defendant. The plaintiff is the widow of one Kingston, formerly a cab-driver ; and the de fendants the well-known firm of Collard and Collard, piano forte makers. It appeared that some months since a man in the employment of Mears. Collard was driving a van along Cromer-street and towards Judd-street. He got down and left the horse standing, and it ran away, and the van came in contact with a cab and the driver was killed on the spot. This widow now sought to recover damages for the injury she had sustained by the loss of her husband. As is usual in cases of this kind, there was a conflict of evi. dance as to the position cf the respective vehicles at the time the accident occurred, and on the several incidents connected with the case. His Lordship summed up at considerable length, leaving it to the jury to decide whether the accident was the result of negligence of the defendant's servant, or whether the unfortunate man who lost his life by it, was in any manner to blame for getting in the way, and had thereby contri buted in bringing about the unfortunate result. In the former case they must find for the plaintiff, with reasonable damages, in the latter for the defendant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £2lO, being £lOO for the widow, £lO for the eldest son, and £lOO to be divided amongst the other children. Miss Julia Juliet Four ran.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND PATRICK. This case was resumed this morning. Miss Shedden was proceeding with the examination of Jane Rolston Shedden, to prove the marriage of witness's father and mother. The case is likely to last for several days. COU}7.T. RAILWAY: COMPANIES AND THE PUBLIC.-IMPORTANT CASE.-JEWSLL V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY: COMPANY. This was an action to recover £9 158.—£1 10s. the value of a `"gilt" lost by defendants, and £5 ss. damages sus tained in consequence of such loss. Defendants had paid N 108. into Court. Plaintiff's wife (who had had great trouble in the matter) saki her husband was a dealer in fancy goods, which he sold about the country. Some time since she purchased a new tilt, which she booked for Blisworth. The booking-office keeper promised her it should be forwarded at once, but it never reached her husband, who could not in consequence attend a certain bazaP.r. His Honour remembered the case. Plaintiff had pre viously sued the Looking-office-keeper. _ _ Mr. Swan, foT the company, contended that the money paid in was sufficient to meet the merits of the case. As to the £5 ss. damages, it was very clear that plaintiff could not claim that. The well-known case of Hurley and Basen dale effectually settled that point. His Honour feared it was so. Railway companies had it all their own way. If I were to buy a cargo of corn for 20s. per quarter which I wished to send to a starving town where I knew it would fetch 80s. per quarter, the railway company might say, " Oh, no ; we won't take it now, we'll supply the starving town ourselves ;" and I should beonly able to recover the difference between the 20s. and what I could buy (at the time) another cargo of corn for. Mrs. Sewell, I am very sorry for you, but you cannot recover this £5 ss. . Mrs. Sewell--There were two horses kept for ten days. I ran all over the place . and could not even get a civil answer out of the company. His Honour—That is just the way. I wish there was a judge ha ing unlimited powers, so that he might be able to deal with cases of this kind. Arr. Swan thought it was very lucky the railway cora- DP.liies wore so nrofa,t4.l. vula demands of this nature. His Honour—Oh I they can protect themselves. Well, Mrs. Sewell, I can only order you the money in court, but as it was not paid in according to rule, you will have costs. Every farthing I can award you I will, and I only wish it were double. Mr. Swan, deprecatingly, hoped the next case he had would be a better one. His Honour—lt is not your fault, Mr. Swan, you do your duty, but look at this poor man what he has suffered through the loss of this tilt. NASII V. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY-. SINGULAR AND DANGEROUS COLLISION IN THE CITY. Plaintiff is a cab proprietor, and he now sought to recover damages sustained through th - e alleged negligence in driv ing of defendants' servant. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beard for the company. The evidence was of the usual conflicting character. For the plaintiff it was said that the omnibus impaled with the pole the cab, and it was only a mercy that the horse was not killed. For the defendants, it was sworn that the cab came with such force that the shaft knocked one of the omnibus horses on to its haunches, and rendered it unfit for work ever since. Mr. Buchanan considered it extremely unlikely that a patent safety cab could have driven with such fury in a dense part of the city like the Poultry, while Mr. Beard observed, without one dissentient, that omnibuses were not celebrated for railroad speed in Cheapside. His Honour coincided in the observation, and thought it likely that plaintiff thought he had an opportunity to dart in, and was unexpectedly met by the 'bus. No negligence had been shown, and defendants would have a verdict with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIII8 DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS —John Farmer, keeping a small broker's shop in Charles-street, Drury lane, and Susan Farmer, his wife, were charged with steal ing several cases of surgical instruments under the follow ing circumstances : Sergeant Franklin, 20 E, said from information he re ceived he went yesterday afternoon into Endell-street, and saw the female prisoner leave Dr. Falconer's shop. He stopped her and asked what she had in the black bag, and she replied " Nothing." He then took the bag from her and said, "What is this," and she said—" Only some stir gical instruments I have is sell." He then asked her who sent her, and she said her husband gave them to her, but she did not know where he got them. He then took her into custody, and on examining the bag found in it three cases of surgical instruments, and under her arm he also found the large case produced covered with her shawl. The erena produced he also found in the bag. He asked her where she lived, and she said at 7, Charles-street, Drury lane, and on his proceeding there he found the male prisoner. He asked him if he had sent his wife out with some surgi cal instruments, and he said he had. He (Franklin) then told him his wife was in custody and that he must search the place, and asked him where he got the instruments from, and he said a youth had lodged with him and left them behind in his debt, and as he had never called for them he wanted to sell them. On searching the place he found in the shop nine skeleton keys, a life preserver, a quantity of hair, and about 30 duplicates. Mr. Huntley Bailey, surgical instrument maker, of 418, Oxford-street, identified the four cases of surgical instru ments produced by the sergeant as his property, and they being a portion of a large number stolen in a glass case from his shop. The value of those produced was from ato XS. At the request of the sergeant the prisoner was remanded. THE ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANCE.—Antonio Parente, an organ-grinder, was charged with annoying Mr. Joseph Jennings, surveyor of the southern district of Marylebone, and refusing to leave when desired. The case having been proved, Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining the defendant 2s. 6d., said if the organ was detained, and the prisoner put to a little trouble in getting it back, it would have a good effect. He had often thought if the magistrates had the power of detaining the organs for a period of, say six months, the nuisance would soon be stopped. DEEENCES AT TENBY.—Tho town and vicinity of Tenby are to be strengthened by the immediate erection of several defences. A battery of heavy guns is to be erected on St. Catherine's rock at Giltar, and it is reported that defences of importance are to be raised on the Castle-hill and the southern extremity of the town walls, for which the levels were taken some weeks ago. The batteries for merly erected for the defence of the town have long ago been dismantled, but they were in the southern part of Übe town. THE TONNING EXPLOSION.—It is hoped that no further lives will now be sacrificed to the late explosion ozi board the Tonning, as the wounded men are now doing well. In the report of the evidence of the intelligent second engineer one word was mis-written. The thickness of the ‘‘ shell" of th e b o iler was stated to be one and a h a lf i n ch ; it should have been the thickness of the stays." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.

The great contest between Hamerton and Drewitt came off yesterday over the usual .course, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. The start took place at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock. Hamer • ton having won the choice of stations, took the Middlesex shore, and Drewitt of course had the opposite side. Old Jack Phelps piloted the former, and Kelly performed the same office for Prewitt. Tho start was very excellently effected, bat after a few vigorous strokes Drewitt seemed to have the advantage. Off Searle's Hamerton by some very excellent rowing had drawn himself quite clear of his oppo nent, who appeared to be making most tremendots efforts to overhaul him. At Craven Cottage he had increased his lead to two clear lengths. This being considered a very critical point for testing the powers of their respective efforts, the rowing was considered by competent judges to be very wide, but as they approached the Crab Tree Hamerton still led. At Barnes Bridge he had increased his advantage, and won the match by about 20 lengths—doing the distance in 24 minutes 35 seconds. Betting at starting 5 to 4 on Hamerton, who was Lacked for a very large sum of money. Messenger was umpire for Hamerton, and Tom White fulfilled the same office for Drewitt. T.HIS DAY'S MIMING.

(From the I ?eyistrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London in the week that ended last Satur day exhibit a small increase on the respective numbers of the two 1 revious weeks, which were 1026 and 1019. In the present return they are 1084. For the corresponding weeks of ten previous years (1850-9) the average number of deaths is found to be, after correction for increase of population, 1192, compared with which the return for last week is less by 108. This satisfactory result is obtained notwithstand ing the temperature of the air has been considerably lower than it usually is in the first ten days of November. In the corresponding week of 1858 the deaths rose to 1349, when the mean temperature was 39 deg., which is only 1 deg. less than it was last week. The deaths from "developmental diseases of children," which were 29 in the previous week rose last week to 42; those from atrophy and debility, nearly all amongst children, also rose from 41 to 53 ; the deaths from all causes of persons aged 60 years and upwards declined from 206 to 183. Hooping cough, which was fatal in 34 cases in the previous week, rose to 44 last week. From scarlatina 47 deaths occurre-1 last week, and from diphtheria 12. There were five from small pox, all amongst children. A widow died at the age of 98 years. A cooper aged 42 years died from " ulceration of the stomach, accelerated by herbs and powders administered by a herbalist," according to the liuding of a coroner's jury. ' In reference to the death from phthisis of an assistant in a chemical factory, it is added that his health had been im paired by the grinding of colours. A child, three years old, was poisoned by " arsenical exhalations from the green paper of a breakfast-room." That the use of paper, thus prepared, in covering the walls of apartments, especially bedrooms, is highly dangerous, is a fact which by this time should be universally known. The daughter of a tailor, aged three years, was burnt by her clothes taking fire from ' lucifer matches with which she was playing; the son of a wharf labourer and the daughter of a labourer also died from their clothes taking fire ; a fourth died from " burns on the chest." A boy, aged one year, was fatally scalded by drinking hot water out of a tea-kettle. Last week the births of 893 boys and 801 girls, in all, _ _ 1,691 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850,59 the average number was 1,636. METROPOLITAN WATERS, OCT. 1860. The composition of the London waters, according to the analysis of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., is not essentially different from that which they afforded in the preceding month. The analysis of the Loch Katrine and Manchester waters are given for the sake of comparing rain waters collected immediately after thsir fall, and secured from sewage contamination with the waters of rivers or open canals, which Lo some extent act as sewers, or are liable to be rendered impure by the proximity of popula tion. The Great Yarmouth supply contains some peaty matter in solution which might probably be removed by modified arrangements. Total impurity Organic im per gallon. purity. grs. or deg - . gre. or deg. .

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.114 in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on five days of the week. The barometer fell from 30.36 in. on Wednesday to 29 . 82 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 40.1 deg., which is 5 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average through out the week ; and the amount of this depression was gene rally from 5 deg to 7 deg. On Wednesday the thermometer in the shade rose to 51.7 deg ; its lowest point in the week was 29.5 deg on Sunday. The extreme range in the week was therefore 22.2 deg. The mean daily range was 12.5 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 2.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 91, complete saturation being represented by 160, which point was almost attained on Saturday, when the humidity was 97. The wind was generally in the east ;in the middle of the week it was in the north-east. The rain in the week was 0.18 in, nearly all of which fell on Satur day, when rains were frequent and heavy. The mean tem perature of the water of the Thames was 48.8 deg. TILE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE "PETER'S PENCE." The Minister of the Interior has just addressed ;he following circular to all the prefects of France : Paris, Nov. 10. M. le Prefect,—The imperial Government has in noway fetterel the efforts which have been made to as6ist the financial operations of the Pontifical Government; it autho rised the negotiation in France of the loan which the Pope decided to contract; it left the fullest liberty to the sym pathetic manifestations which exhibited themselves in in dividual offerings, and those offerings have reached Rome without any obstacle. But the Government has never ad. mitted that there could be founded, without its authority, throughout the empire, and as a permanent institution, committees or associations having for their object to or ganise, to stimulate, and to concentrate the collection of a sort *f tribute for the court of Rome. In a circular dated May 5, 1860, his Excellency the Mi nister of Public Instruction and Worship reminded the bishops what were the prescriptions and the traditions of the French law upon this point. Nevertheless, some attempts are being made in a sense altogether contrary to the direc tions of that circular, and documents which have become public have announced the intention of forming an associa tion represented by committees acting together, obedient to a common impulse, and constituting a kind of hidden insti tution organised in the bosom of the country. The Government cattnot tolerate this neglect of regula tions which it has laid down, this violation of laws which it has resolved should be respected. I invite you conse quently, M. le Prefect, to warn the organisers and the members of these committees, if they have commenced to act in your department, that they must immediately dis solve, and you will inform them that if, notwithstanding this notice, they persist in their enterprises, they will ex pose themselves to the penalties decreed by the law. Individual donations to the Holy Father are, and will re main free ; but as to associations into the secret activity of which political intrigues under the veil of religion may very easily glide, their existence is unlawful until after the authorisation of the government, and that authorisation has not been granted them.—Receive, &c., The Minister Secretary of State in the Department of the Interior, BILLAULT. THE FRENCH ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. This delightful place hay* become one of the chief at tractions of the French capital, a brief notice concerning it cannot but be acceptable to tbe English visitor. The grounds are situate within the Bois de Boulogne, mai close to the Porte des Sablons, being that which immediately follows the Porte-Maillot on the side of the Avenue de Neuilly. Tbey comprise an area of 33 acres, beautifully laid out in walks encircling the pens or enclosures where the quadrupeds are kept, and which are arranged on the same plan as those of the Garden of Flants, with pic turesque little pavilions or cots, containing the stables. Unlike the Garden of Plants, however, this establishment only harbours such animals of foreign origin as are fit to be domesticated ; so that the visitor would in vain seek for il the lion, tiger, or hyena, which are here replaced ,byt lama,e hemione, tapir, Chinese pig, Zebu, Yak, kosi.nsgheereop, goats, Alpaga, and Vicunna, beides various kinds stags, antelopes, gazelles, &c. The grounds are intersected where various by a streamlet forming a serieshl of islands,other rare specimens of aquatic plants are grown, the vegetable kingdom aboundwl o e n the s urrounding grass plots. Ducks, geese, and swans from Canada, Patagonia, , and other parts of the world the Sandwich Islands, scene of agreeable swarm in the rivulets, pErngesyepenntttieag will find to his left a ani mation.

Turning to the opposite side of the stream, the first object which meets the eye is a kind of semicircular amphi theatre of 211 wired enclosures for poultry ; and further on a vast aviary, consisting of 16 wired cages, each provided with a little fountain and shrubs, and is tenanted by pea cocks, pheasants, doves, and other gallinaeeous tribes. The visitor would lose some good sport wEre he not to delay his departure until after sunset, when the keepers are busied in coaxing the inmates of the aviary into their respective roosting-places. These charming little foreigners have a will of thtir own ; they seem to bo perfectly aware that they cannot be roughly handled like the plebeian poultry of a farm-yard, and that they are not, like them, destined to be mercilessly slaughtered, unless indeed, some remorseless gastronomic secant should perchance deem it expedient to inform the world at large of the peculiar flavour of a Euplocomus melanotus a lofinnuciere. The last object of importance on this side is a kokh, or building for rearing s ilk- worm s, but which will po ssess but little interestunto.l. next spring.

ALDERMAN SALOONS, M.P., AND ELS C ONSTI 7 ILEIV TS. Last night, at eight o'clock, a numerously-attended public meeting of the electors of Greenwich was held at the Lecture-hall in that town to hear an address from Alder man Salomons, 1d.?., explanatory of his parliamentary conduct during the last session. - The chair was occupied by Dr. Purvis, of Blackheath, who briefly alluded to the objects of the meeting. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., who was well received, ob served that it was a very wholesome custom that repre sentatives of the people should meet their constituents during the recess, in order to take council together, and to afford an opportunity of discussing those important questions which had been considered in Parliament, and were likely to be considered at a future period. County members generally embraced such an opportunity at agri cultural meetings, where agriculture was kept in the shade, and politics discussed. He thought there could not be a greater libel than to say that the last session of Parlia ment had been a barren session, for many most important measures bed been passed, amongst which he viewed with great satisfaction those important alterations in the tariff included in the French treaty, and which wisely extended the principle of free trade by cultivating commercial intercourse with our nearest neighbours, thus tending to make the French nation more commercial and less warlike. The Protectionists of France as well as the commercial classes had great influence, but the Emperor had been able by his own power to carry out this impor tant treaty, which would prove a lasting benefit to both countries. Alderman Salomons then proved by statistics the rapid progress of France during the last twenty years, especially with regard to railways and manufactures, and expressed an opinion that this country would benefit by the exportation of coals, which must take place. The Reform Bill had occupied a considerable time of the last session, and after all it proved an abortion. He was not much surprised at this, as there was little agitation on the subject out o f doors, and he must express his firm opinion that a good nssa .. sure of reform would never be passed unless the people got up such a strong agitation as would prove that the ques tion could be no longer delayed, and thus a moral sup port would be given to the Reform party in the Hotta(' of Commons. The last session also possessed the element of taxation in a large degree. What with the army, the navy, and fortifications, something like 75 millions were required, and he sincerely hoped that taxation had now reached its culminating point. This large sum was, how ever, required, and when he considered that 20,000 men had been conveyed from Paris to the coast in a single night, it surely was not too soon to place ourselves in such a state of defence that whatever contingency of a sudden nature might arise, we should be found equal to it. He did not believe that any real danger existed, but the best defence was to let the world know that England was in a proper state of defence and fully prepared to resist any enemy. The volunteer movement was a proof to the nations of Europe that in this free country all barriers of distinction could be broken down, and that high and low could, when necessary, band themselves together to defend their coun try. It was also a proof that, with our free institutions, we were not afraid to put arms in the hands of all classes of the population. He was happy to believe that at the present time very general prosperity prevailed throughout the country. The manufacturing districts were well em ployed, and poor rates had very much decreased. He trusted that this prosperity also extended to that borough. (Cries of "We are very slack at Greenwich.") It was quite true that in some isolated cases distress might prevail, as, for instance, at Coventry, where it was said the French treaty had injured the interests of the workmen ; but his remarks applied to the nation collec tively, and it was proved by the great increase of im ports and exports that commerce was flourishing and the people were generally employed. With regard to the volunteer movement, there was one point in connection with that borough upon which he should like to have the opinion of the meeting. Possessing as they did several miles of river frontage, and having a large population of mari time men, he had often thought that something might be done towards the formation of a volunteer naval and marine brigade. (Loud cheers.) Such a force, although novel, would be highly popular, and certainly most useful as a defence to tue country. If they thought that such a brigade could be formed he should be happy to assist them to the utmost of his power, and would communicate with the Government in order to ascertain if the services of such a force would be acceptable. There were some ques tions of a local nature interesting to that locality, and especially with regard to the payment of rates for Govern ment property. During the last session a considerable sum had been voted for this purpose, and he had reason to know that the amount would be immediately forwarded to the several parishes interested. The Metropolitan Local Management Act had not been carried last session, in consequence of the late period it was introduced, but he should be prepared to support a similar measure during the next session, as the Metropolitan Board was entrusted with most important duties, and the present act certainly required improvement. Alderman Salomons then referred to his votes in favour of the repeal of the paper duties, &c., and stated that in the next session he hoped to see the excise duty taken off paper and hops. After expressing his willingness to reply to any questions, the hon. member resumed his seat amidst cheers. In reply to a question, Alderman SALOMONS stated he would gladly promote a plan for improved railway communication between Green wich and Woolwich. Mr. A. R. BRISTOW, M.P. for Kidderminster, moved tho following resolution :—" That this meeting having heard with much satisfaction from Alderman Salomens an ac count of his Parliamentary services during the last session, is of opinion that the best thanks of the electors are due to him for his abls and consistent conduct as their representa tive in the Commons House of Parliament." He observed that he had peculiar opportunities for knowing that Alder man Salomons was worthy the esteem of his constituents. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the pro ceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to the chairman. TBIS DAPS 31ABRETS. ~~ . CORN EXCHANGE. INUERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.
