CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have been very dull, and lower rates have been current for most of the prin cipal staples. Tea has continued inactive, at barely previous value. For sugar there has been a very limited inquiry, only the finer de scriptions having realised previous rates. Coffee declined 6d. to ls. per cwt., while rice, spices, and fruit have been dealt in to a moderate extent at reduced rates. Saltpetre has been neglected, but prices are unaltered. The public sales of colonial wool have been well attended, and a slight improvement has taken place in the value of Cape descriptions. For tallow there has been a very limited inquiry, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted 605., and for spring delivery 60s. 3d. per cwt. A further withdrawal of about 70,000 sovereigns took place at the Bank of England yesterday for transmission to New York, by the Persia, which leaves to-morrow ; and about £40,000 in notes have been sent to the Liverpool branch to be ex changed for gold, for the same purpose. With the exception of a little additional firmness, consequent upon the usual contraction of circula tion at this period of the year, the money market exhibits no change of importance. The Bank of England have notified their readi ness to make their usual quarterly advances upon stocks and bills of exchange not having more than six months to run, until the 9th of January, the period during which the transfer books for consols and several other stocks will remain closed. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair amount of business was recorded, but prices were about per lb. lower. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The bar silver by the Tamar, from the West Indies, has been sold at ss. lid. per oz. standard, but the Mexican dollars have not been disposed of Business has continued quiet in the market for Public Securities, but the quotations have not Undergone any material change, Consols being . 9 31 I for money, and 941 1 for the January ac count. The speculative dealings have been very limited, but an unfavourable effect is still created by the efflux of gold to the United States. The New Threes are steady at 921- a ; the Reduced at 92 1; India Loan is at 1031 ; ditto 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is flat at 1011; the Debentures at 981 ; and Exchequer Bills at ss. dis. Rather less activity prevails in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices show little variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 722 to 73 ; ditto New, 583. to 681-, ; Spanish are steady at 501 ; ditto Cer tificates are firm at 63. ; but Buenos Ayres Deferred are flat at 30. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares have advanced to 318 prem. ; Thames and Mersey to 11 1 prem. ; and the Universal -I 8 prem. Increased buoyancy has prevailed in the Railway Share Market, a further improvement of 1 to 1 per cent. being apparent in several of the principal English lines. Caledonian, Great Western, and South-Eastern have advanced ss. ; Great Northern, London, Chatham, and Dover, North-Western, and Midland, 10s. ; North-Eastern (Berwick), 15s. ; and London and Blackwall, £l. Eastern Counties and Lancashire and Yorkshire have declined Os. In the Foreign Market the Brazilian undertak itigs fully support their previous values. Recife riud San Francisco realise 91 10; Bahia and San ), Erancisco 9 ; and San Paulo 3f. The Colonial undertakings are flat. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded 55.; Great Indian Peninsula 10s.; and East Indian ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have also been depressed. London Joint Stock have declined to 301 ; and London and West- It:duster improved to 641 ; Peßinsular and Oriental Steam New Shares realise 371 ; Red Sea Telegraph 17i 17k.

COCKEREL. This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls declaring certain Leeds of mortgage not binding on the plaintiff, and directins the same to be delivered up to be cancelled. It appeared that the phintiff was entitled by the will of his father to an income of certain real and personal estates of great value. Messrs. Henry and Chestyn. Hall, formerly of Boswell-court, had been for many years the confidential agent of the plaintiff's fatter and brother, and of the plain tiff, and until -the year 1E65 plaintiff appeared to have had great confidence in their skill and integrity. In the year 1853 the Messrs. Hall acted as solicitors of the defendants, the trustees under the marriage settlement of John Wallis Grieve and the Hon. Eli2a Bowles, and in the month of February that year they received from the defendant the sum of £15,000 belonging to him as trastee of the said settlement for the purpcse of investment. £lO,OOO was property invested on mortgage security, and the rernainding £5,000, as the plaintiff alleged, without his knowledge air consent, was invested by the'Messrs Hall in two sums of £4,000 and £l,OOO on the security of the plaintiff's interest under the will of his father and brother, and of certain policies of insurance belonging to him. The indenture by which this sum is expressed to be secured bears date respec tively the Ist of March and the Ist of August, 1855, and in the month of September, 1851, they were handed over by the Messrs. Hall ,to Mr. Livingstone, who was then acting as solicitor for the defendant. The bill alleged that no part of the sums of £4,000 and £l,OOO was ever paid or received by the plaintiff or applied to his use, nor did he authorise the Messrs. Hall to raise that sum for him, nor was he aware that they had raised the money, but that the whole transaction was a fraud committed on the plaintiff. The Messrs. Hall, for the pur pose of concealing the misappropriation by themselves of the money belonging to the defendant, the plaintiff stated, that he executed the deeds without reading them over, and on the representation of Chestyn Hall, that the effect would be to employ him as receiver of the rents and in come of the real and personal estates, and to pay him out of such rents and profits a larger monthly sum than there tofore, which was in fact afterwards done. The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, was of opinion that the plaintiff was perfectly cognisant of the terms of the mortgage deed in question, and acquiesced in the conditions on which it was granted, and it was new too late to object to it. His lordship reversed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the plaintiff's bills, with costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT.-HUGHES V. JONES. This suit came before the Court on a reference to cham bers for the chief clerk to enquire whether a good title could be given to a plot of land at Maden in Wales, consisting of 4 acres and 14 perches, sold by public auction, under a lease for life in a bill for specific performance of the contract. The defendant pleaded that he purchased the lands in ignorance of the lease. The plaintiff alleged that the lease was exprestly men tioned in the articles of sale, which were publicly exhibited and read over at the meeting before the sale. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, on considering the evidence of the witnesses on both sides, which was extremely conflicting, came to the conclusion that the defendant was informed that the plot of land purchased by him was under a lease for life as a limestone quarry at a yearly rent of a 13s. 6d., and, with that exception, a good title was shown to the land. His Honour decreed accordingly, and made the costs of :he defendant costs in the cause. SHERIFF'S COURT. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF THE POST- OFFICE AUTHO- RITIES. A case came before the court this morning in which the Summons was marked " not served." Plaintiff's agent said that defendant was a clerk employed in the General Post-office, and his Honour was well aware of the great difficulty existing in sluing the clerks. His Honour—Great difficulty ? Plaintiff's agent—Yes. I am informed that the autho rities throw every obstacle in the way. His Honour—Am I to understand that the authorities of the Post-office throw obstacles in the way of a just recovery of debts? Whose district is this ? Mr. Coleman (one of the bailiffs)—Mine. It is quite true. They will not call the clerks down ; and a short time since they threatened to give me in charge. His Honour—Give you in charge for performing your duty in accordance with the provisions of an Act of Parlia ment. This ought to be mentioned in the newspapers What did they do ? Mr. Coleman—They sent for a policeman, and he refused to remove me, as I was employed in serving summonses. His Honour would grant a gratis summons and would go in if necessary for ten years. Perhaps if the summons was served upon the Postmaster-General, by post, it might have some effect. It was then explained that these summonses must be personally served. His Honour—Then we must employ a bailiff especially to wait and catch them as they go in and come out. Mr. Coleman—There are so many doors—(laughter)— and they tell one another. His Honour—Yes, the General Post-office is like rabbit warren, and while you are waiting at one door they get out by another. Gratis swmmons granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( TIIIS DAL) MARLBOROUCrII-STREET. CHARGE OF STEALING THE HALE OF A £5 NOTE.—ME SENDER WANTED.—Alexander Poppy, errand boy, in the employ of Mr. Davies, draper, 340, Oxford-street, was charged with stealing the half of a £5 note under the fol lowing circumstances : Mr. Davies said the prisoner had been in his employ as errand boy, and he understood from the postman that two letters were given to him while outside doing something to the windows, and they had never reached him. The post man was not bore to-day, but would attend. Sergeant Glass, C Division, said he understood the pri soner had tendered the half of a £5 note in payment of handkerchiefs, and it was then stopped. The prisoner said he picked up the letter on the door-mat, it having been trod on, and broke it open, and found that it had the word " Five "on it. The constable afterwards traced it to Mr. Davies. Mr. Davies said he had not yet ascertained from whom the half note came, and while the prisoner was in his employ several things have been missed from his premises. The half note was yproduced. It is numbered 90,484, and bears endorsements, " J. Jones, draper," and "G. Ed wards." The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the postman, and the person at whose shop he tendered the half note. FATHER AND SON.—Mortimer Cahn, 19, was charged with threatening and annoying his father, Mr. Edward Cahn, of 24, Lieceater-square. Mr. Cahn said owing to the conduct of his son he was obliged to turn him out of his house, and all he wished was that he would not come to his house. He was a burthen to them all, and threatened to smash the windows and every thing in the house (the complainant was unable to go on from emotion). Mr. Tyrwhitt said he understood the father had taken the son into his house on. his return from California. The Defendant, in an impudent tone.—You seem to know all about it. Mr, Tyrwhitt.--You are an affliction and an ungrateful hound to a father who has done so much for you. The Defendant.—Who do you call a hound ? Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the defendant).—You, sir. You will hear the truth here. (To the father). Your weakness is a misfortune. If you go on in this way he will manage you. Why take him in at all ? A fellow of his description will never be done may good with except by sharp means. We have plenty cases of the kind here. Ordered to find one surety in the sum of £2O for two months.

DARING ROBBERIES BY A. PAUPER.—Edward Bin ning, a remarkable looking man, about 31 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a sweeping machine, value seven guineas, the property of the Guar dians of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green. Stephen Ayles, the porter of the Bethnal-green Work house, said the prisoner had been for a long time an inmate of the place, and absconded on Wednesday afternoon. Soon afterwards a chimney-sweeping machine, value seven guineas, was missed from a store house. The prisoner had been convicted before and sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment and hard labour, and previous to that he was convicted under the 11 ilful Damage Aet and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for breaking down the refractory ward of the workhouse. Mr. Selfe—He has been a very dishonest and trouble some pauper. Witness—Yes, sir; he broke through a window, and opened two locks before he could get the sweeping machine. _ George Stone, a master chimney-sweeper, of Old Church road, Limehouse, said that t he prisoner waited upon him with the sweeping machine now produced, and ask e d hi m to purchase it. He put some questions to the prisoner, who said that the machine belonged to his father, and offered to sell it for £l, which he knew to be immeasurably below its value. He suspected from the length and struc ture of the machine that it belonged to an infirmary or workhouse, and asked the prisoner if he cou ld send for any body that knew him. The prisoner answered in th e nega tive, and he gave him into custody, and detained the machine. William Horton, a police-constable, No. 373 K, proved the two former convictions against the prisoner. Mr. Selfe said the Board of Guardians of Bethnal-green had behave I with great humanity towards the prisoner in maintaining him in the workhouse after two convictions for serious offences. The conduct of St one, t h e sweep , wa s highly creditable to him, and he wo u ld a ll ow hi m a cer tificate for his expenses — indeed the witness should have all he could give him. He committed the prisoner for trial, and ordered that the other conyictions should be rvturned to the Sessions. CROYDON STEEPLECHASES—Thrztspay.

Betting -5 to 1 each agst Marmion and Johnny, 6to 1 agst Topsy, 7 to 1 agst Tumbler, 8 to 1 agst The Dane, 10 to 1 agst any other. Nelly, Tatler, Topsy, and Hazard com prised the front rank at starting, the two favourites lying in the ruck, and Fearless and The Dane last. Tumbler came to grief before they had gone half the distance, and The Dane was soon after put hors de combat by coming down a " burster." Nelly's lead diminished on going round the second time, and Johnny, Tatler, Marmion, and Topsy became the leaders. Half a mile from home the last men tioned three were beaten, and Johnny came round into the winning field hotly pursued by Longrange and Fearless, who were never able to get up, Johnny winning easily by three lengths, a length between the second and third.

The promoters and managers of this meeting are entitled to no little praise for the satisfactory manner in which they carried out their undertaking. They had to contend against miserably wet weather, and had to surmount all the diffi culties which were created by the unpropitious skiey in fluences and by ground which more resembled a morass than a " fair hunting country." That their programme possessed great attractions was proved by the numerically large fields which the principal events brought out, by the brisk speculation ;which they occasioned, and by the im mense concourse of people who, despite the rain and the miry ground, witnessed the proceedings each day. A better " line of country" could not be selected within the " home circuit." So frequent have been the failures of steeplechase ven • tures near London, and so questionable have been certain doings in connection with them, that the sporting commu nity were agreeably surprised at the straightforward man ner in which the proceedings in general, and the business department in particular, were conducted on this occasion. For their well-directed efforts to remove the stigma and suspicion which had hitherto attachedto nearly all " Metro politan" steeplechases the present Croydon committee de serve the heartiest commendation. In the double capacity of handicapper and clerk of the course, Mr. J. F. Verrall, of Lewes, acquitted himself most creditably, displaying no ordinary judgment in the former office, and considerable tact in the latter. From Mr. Goodwin, of Croydon, he experienced the most cordial co-operation in all his plans, and the' most active assistance in putting them into execu tion. The weighing stand was presided over by Mr. T. Marshall, jun., of Northampton. The duties of clearing the course, &c., were very efficiently discharged by a body of police under the direction of Mr. Edmund Payne, supe rintendent of the P division. The stewards were the Earl of Covontry, Lord Cour enay, and Charles Bevil], Esq. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TnunsvIT. The Steeple Chase at Croydon was the principal feature of the day, and during the afternoon a few bets were made on the Derby, but nothing occurred indicative of any change. 6 to 1 was taken about Dundee, but at the close it was also offered ; and some little business was done on Klarikoff and Nautilus at their respective quotations.

There was a very poor show of English wheat in to-day's market, both as to quantity and quality. Owing, however, to the large influx from abroal, the demand for all kinds was in a most inactive state. Good and fine samples were held at full quotations, but other descriptions were very dull, and almost nominal in price. The show of foreign wheat was very extensive. Both the town and country millers purchased with extreme caution, and to have forced sales lower rates must have been sub mitted to. Floating cargoes of grain were heavy. In prices, how ever, very little change took place. There was rather more inquiry for fine barley, at previous rates ; but other descriptions were very dull. The transactions in malt were on a limited scale, at pre vious currencies. We have to report a slow sale for oats, on former terms. In beans and peas very little was doing, at late rates. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at barely sta tionary prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

The semi-official lifoniteur de la Flotte publishes the following letter from Toulon, dated the 2d inst. : " The ship of the line Algesiras and the steel plated frigate Gloire have returned to the roads after a cruise of two days, during which they steamed as far as Nice. The trial was most com plete and highly satisfactory: The admirals who commanded the ships entertained no doubt on the subject, but they wished to ascertain some points of detail. Trials of speed were made on various tacks, and with two, four, six, and eight boilers heated. The only defect discovered in the Gloire is that she cuts the waves with too great speed. The water enters by the portholes forward. It is said that this inconvenience will be avoided in the plans for the new plated frigates which are to be placed on the stocks next year. The guns are to be more out of the water. A new system of iron floating batteries is being examined. They are to be much smaller than those used in the Crimean war. They are not in tended for going to sea, but solely for the protection of the entrance into ports and rivers, It is chiefly for this service that steel-plated frigates are con structed, as it is not considered safe to send them to sea alone. The general system of the defence of the coasts is to be completed by cutting down the _old sailing ships and plating them. The construc tion of ships of great speed has naturally directed the attention of the Government to the necessity of adopting greater precaution for the defence of the coasts of Britann3 and Normandy. These coasts are now much exposed to the danger of a eoup de main, which, though Hot probable, is at least possible. The coast of the Mediterra nean appears to be better defended by nature, but we shall shortly have at our gates on that side a maritime Power which may become trouble some. We are at present on the best terms with Italy, but that may not always be the case. Italy, moreover, is not the only Power in the Mediter ranean, and, besides, we must protect the coast of Algeria, and secure our communication with Africa in all weathers. If all these exigencies are taken into consideration it will be found that, notwith standing the attention paid to the materiel of the navy during late years, it is still below what it ought to be. I have just alluded to the future maritime power of Italy, and I find that it is pro posed to organise maritime prefectures in that coun try, and likewise the system of maritime conscrip tion, such as it exists in France. I can tell you, further, that Ancona is to be the chief port of the 3d arrondissement. This, no doubt, is only a pro visional arrangement, inasmuch as Ancona is far from being suitable for a military port, the siege under which it fell being a clear proof of that fact." ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTIOA. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John•street, Adelphi—Thomas Chap man, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. The following rewards were voted, viz. to the crew of the lifeboat at Hausley, for going off and saving the crew of five men of the schooner Susan and Isabella, which, during a gale of wind and heavy sea, was disabled in the Cygnet-roads, Northumberland, on the morning of the 23d ult.; £7 10s. to the crew of the Newbiggin life boat, for putting off and rescuing the crew of three men from the schooner Rose, of Lynn, which, during a gale of wind and a heavy sea, was wrecked on the Northumberland coast on the 23d ult.; £6 to the crew of the lifeboat at Filey, for putting off on the morning of the 10th ult., and saving the crew of five men of the brig Flying Fish, of Whitby; £3O to the crew of the life • boat at Lyme Regis, for putting off on the night of the 14th ult., during a fearful gale of wind, and when it was as dark as pitch, and rescuing the crew of three men of the smack Elizabeth Ann, of Lyme Regis; £l4 to the crew of the Middlesborough life boat, for putting off on Sunday night last, and rescuing the crew of eleven men of the brig Pro drama, of Middlesborough, which had stranded on the East (.base sand bank, near Seaton Carew, dur ing a strong S.E. wind; £ll to the crew of the new surf lifeboat stationed at Yarmouth, for putting off on the night of the 18th ult., and saving the crew of six men of the schooner Admiral Hood, of Rochester. Payments amounting to £9O were also made to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Palling and Yarmouth, in Norfolk ; Walmer, in Kent; Seaton Carew, in Durham t and Teign mouth, in Devon ; for putting off in reply to signals of distress, but the vessels had either got out of danger, or their crews had been rescued by other means, and the services of the lifeboats were not needed. Captain Tudor, R, 4., who had for his previous gallant services in a lifeboat received the silver medal of the society, was presented with the second service clasp of the institution, in acknowledgment of his intrepid and prompt services in putting off in a ship's boat manned by nine men and saving two persons, at much risk of life, from the Martha, of Wick, which during a heavy gale of wind was wrecked near that place on the 20th ult. The thanks of the institution inscribed on vellum and £1 were also presented to Mr. Samuel Clarke, pilot of Teignmouth, for his general laudable ser vices in the lifeboat of the institution in that town, and particularly for his prompt and very laudable exertions in assisting to save the crew of a fishing boat which had capsized on Teignmouth Bar during squally weather and heavy sea on the 10th ultimo. The five other men who had put off with Clarke in the boat received £2 10s. from the institution. A reward of 13 was voted to three pilots of Pill, near Bristol, for saving three Frenchmen belonging to the schooner Jeune Honore, which had been in collision in the Bristol Channel with an Austrian brig. Several other rewards were voted for laud able exertions in saving life on the Irish and other parts of the coasts of the United Kingdom. It was reported that Miss Burdett Coutts had presented to the seamen at Sunderland a transport ing lifeboat carriage built on the plan of the insti tution. She had previously generously given the seamen a lifeboat. Admiral Cator stated to the committee that, whilst in Cullercoats, near Shields, in the begin ning of October last, the fishermen of the place had expressed to him their great gratitude for the baro meter which the Duke of Northumberland, presi dent of the institution, had presented to them. A fearful gale from the westward had about that time somewhat suddenly sprung up. The fishermen had previously prepared to go to sea. Some of them had observed the fall of the barometer, while others disputed its utility and value, and treated it with derision. The majority of the fishermen, however, decided that they would not go to sea while the barometer was falling, although it was quite fine at the time. A few hours afterwards a most fearful gale o wind came on, when the fishermen expressed their firm conviction that every one of them would probably have perished had they gone to sea, as most assuredly they would have gone in the absence of a barometer. It was decided to forward, for the acceptance of the authorities in Denmark, a large working draw ing of the lifeboat now adop ted, andcess used by the institution on m ost parts ofsucfully the coasts of the United Kingdom. It was stated that th e late Mr. T. F. Heming ton, of Lyme Regis, had left thea legacy of £lOO to the funds of that branch of Lifeboat Institu tion. It was decided that £l,OOO, from the small funded capital of the i ns titution i , ts sh n o u u m ld ero b a e s s l o if l e d bo t a o t the heavy PaY stet on blishments. Payments amounting to £1,300, on various life boat stations having been made, the proceedings then closed.

A letter from Naples of the 29th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says :—" The search after truth, with regard to Gaeta, presents to impartial investi gators the same difficulty as the search after the absolute. I have some statistics before me respect ing the military effective of the last fortress of the last Bourbon of Naples, and send you them as fol lows : When Francis 11. left his capital and retired to Capua, 40,000 men of his army, including the foreign companies, followed their sovereign soon after, the regiments scattered about the mountains of Calabria, during Garibaldi's march from Reggio to Naples, added 20,000 more to the royal forces making a total of 60,000 men. But the engage ments and skirmishes which ensued diminished the number by 16,000 prisoners, 3,000 killed, 15,000 under General Ruggeri, who retired to Terracina, and another column of 4,000, conducted into the neighbourhood of Velletri by Col. Lagrange—in all 38,000 men. After allowing for the loss by illness, it may be fairly estimated that the troops now at Gaeta form an effective of 17,000 or 18,000 men. With such a force, and 700 pieces of heavy artillery at his command, it is evident that Francis 11. may long hold out against the Piedmontese, who well know the history of the sieges Gaeta endured at the beginning of the 18th and 19th centuries." The Gaeta official journal publishes a report from General Bosco to the Minister of War on the late sortie. It appears that a force of 450 men made a reconnaissance towards Mount Atralina, under the command of Lieut.• Col. Migy, while another detachment of 500 men was sent to cover their retreat, The General states his loss at two killed and nine wounded. Of tne latter five officers ; namely, Lieut.-Col. Migy, Lieutenant Hieger, First-Lieut. Rieger, all belonging to foreign carbi neers ; Lieut. Napoli, of the Bth Chasseurs, and Ensign Della Noce, of the 9th. Count Makreit, a foreign officer, also took part in the operations as a volunteer. Colonel Migy afterwards died of his wounds.

She then began to burn tar barrels in token of distress. Soon after the Seaton Carew lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched, and went off to the distressed brig ; but on nearing; the vessel she found the Middlesborough lifeboat, also belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, which had been towed down the river by a steamer, just leaving her with the shipwrecked crew of ten men on board. Both lifeboats are reported to have behaved admirably, and their crews are unanimous in their praises of them. damenriut)lsiinnE2.,t'ha'ne:NeicAdolltTel: RS OF FREEDOM.”_A correspon dent Saturday last," us with au de putation of rthereseuer`aZ so-called ' M u art;f y 's oafsti.'zeetdfsWas pre sented to Parini. They were received with all that cour tesy which characterises him when he is in the humour. `What can I d o f or you, gen tl em en ?' you his question. 'Thel\ o l k a e r sinn Martyrs, whose messengers w e are,' said the mar tyr-spokesman,ask for a place in the Government—every man a place—but a lucrative one, and without delay.' The Lieutenant, while he seemed to acknowledge the justice of their claims, if 'they were true sufferers from political causes promised to take them into consideration, but pleaded the difficulty of finding room for so many appli. cants, however deserving, in the official appointments. Then, as if all the Martyrs living or dead, not only of the kingdom of Naples, but of all Italy were assembled in the hall, there arose a chorus of deafening voices, shouting, Bread ! bread ! We are all starving I' Farini, though won dering how starving stomachs could support such ex cellent lungs, still half in pity, half in disgust, drew a i,urse from his pocket, and flung it among the crowd of suppliants saving—' If it is only bread you want, take this.' It was painful to see how the wretches, exchanging their part from candidates into downright beggars, clutched at it, tore it from each other's hands, and emptied it of the few napoleons its contents, squabbling and snatching, totally o bli v i o us of the absent Martyrs, who were probably as hungry as themselves, but who may never hope to hav e their own share of the Lieutenant's liberality.' " TRACTION ENGINES.—Mr. Single, a gentleman residing at Peckham, applied to Mr. Norton, the:magistrate, for advice as to the best means of checking the use of traction engines in the crowded thoroughfares of the metropolis. p The magistrate told him the power of supp ress i on res t e d with the trustees of the road, and he had better memos Luiz e them on the subject.
