ZYIONEY MARKET AND COLIMERCIAL diTELL !CO E, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is comparatively quiet, owing to the few bills which are brought forward for nego tiation. Trade, though sound, is not active, and discounters are unable to find adequate employment for the large supplies of floating capital at their com mand. The lowest rate for the best bills is 41 per cent. There was an influx of £55,000, and a with drawal of £50,000, at the Bank of England yester day afternoon. The specie movements during the past week have been of an extensive character, both as regards the imports and exports. The former, owing to arrivals from India, Australia, -and the Continent, have amounted to about £1,070,381, while the latter have been to the extent of £384,397, a large pro portion of which has been sent to the Continent. The suspension of the Bank of Upper Canada was announced yesterday by the Atlantic telegraph. The bank had establishments in Quebec, Montreal, Kingston, and Toronto, and was formed in 1822. The Government of Canada some time ago trans ferred its business from this bank to the Bank of Montreal, and of late years it is understood to have been practically in a state of liquidation. The report of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, just issued, states that the available balance for the half year ending June the3Oth last, amounts to £207,720, which, after providing for all bankers' charges, interest on loans, lease rents of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence and Detroit lines, and the pro portions due to the Buffalo and Champlin com panies, the directors propose to pay a cash divi dend upon the first preference bonds, which will absorb £58,334 and leave £2OO to be carried for ward to the next account. The gross receipts ex hibit an increase over those of the corresponding half year of 1865 of £22,540, and the increase of working expenses, £6,393, is the cost of earning this increased traffic. Two o'CLoca. At the Parisßourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 30c. In the Stock Exchange Markets to-day there has been very little business transacted, and in some instances prices have shown increased depression.

The only alterations of importance that have taken place in the Foreign Stock Market to-day is a decline of in Turkish 5 per Cents., to 31i I ; lin Italian, to 56k 57 ; 1 in Spanish Passive, to 22i I. On the other hand the Certificates have advanced 1, to 15 *; Mexican are 151 16 ; and Greek, 15i I. _ _ American Securities are slightly depressed. United States 5.20 Bonds are 72e ; Erie shares, 48 i; 78k I ; Atlantic and Great Western Debentures continue firm at 67 69, and the Con- Mortgage Bonds at 48i 49g. Business in the Railway Share Market has been very inactive, and the few transactions reported show a further fall in prices. North British have declined £l. Great Eastern, Great Northern A Stock, and Midland each 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Western each ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been very quiet. Great Luxembourg have receded to 12i, East Indian to 1011, and Great Indian Peninsula to 1061 107. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally are *without material variation. Affiance are dealt in at 21 ; Imperial Ottoman, at 10 ; London and County, at 624 63+ ; Anglo-American Telegraph, at 171 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. paid up, at 125 ; Hudson's Bay Company, at 17+ ; and Na tional Discount Company, at 134 j.

This sword was the same taken from the general after the disastrous episode at Aspromonte. He used the same weapon during the late campaign. The general, in forwarding it, wrote to Col.

THIEVING BY AN EMPLOYE.—AIfred Sutton was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with stealing a piece of can vaF, valued 3d., the property of Messrs. Lane and 00., of Aldgate. From the evidence of the foreman of Messrs. Lane it appeared that the prisoner hactbeen employed by the firm for ten years, and that he had always borne a good cha,- racter. Last night, about 9 o'clock, he was seen leaving the premises with a parcel under his arm, and he was given into custody. Police-constable Underwood said that he took the pri soner into charge last night about nine o'clock. Tho pri soner said that the canvas was given him by the fOreman. On searching his lodgings several pieces of ticking and canvas were found, which wore identified as the property of Messrs. Lane and Co. It appeared also in the course of the evidence that the prisoner was in receipt of £l2s. a week for some time; and that he had a wife, but no family. The prisoner, in his defence, said that not only the piece of ticking found on him but that at his lodgings had been given him ; but he afterwards modified this statement by saying that, four or five months ago, he got permission to take away some pieces of canvas. The foreman positively denied having given any such permission. Alderman Lusk said the prisoner's case was a very bad one indeed. He was in receipt of good wages, he had no family to provide for, and he was placed in a situation of trust. There was no excuse whatever for his offence, and he would sentence him to two months' hard labour. ThE SON, LONDoN, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1866. The Collision between the Haswell and Bruiser Steamers. The following is the official report on the recent inquiry relative to this casualty : Greenwich Police-court, Sept. 15, 1866. The following is the report of the inquiry into the cause of the collision of the screw collier steamer Haswell and the screw passenger steamer Bruiser : This was a case of collision betwixt two screw steamers, the Haswell and Bruiser, on the morning of the 19th of August last, on the coast of Suffolk. The Haswell was a screw collier of 560 17-100 re gistered tonnage and 90-horse power, and the Bruiser a screw passenger steamer of 343 92-100 registered tonnage and 80-horse power. The llaswell was owned by Mr. J. Feu wick and others, and the Bruiser was the property of the General Steam Na vigation Company. She was employed in the Ilull and London trade, and was in every respect fitted out in conformity with the requirements of law as a steam passenger ship. Both vessels were furnished with lights as required by the Admiralty regulations. At the time of the collision the Haswell was bound northward in ballast, and the Bruiser was on her passage from Hull to London with cargo and (as is believed) about 90 passengers. The exact number is not known, there being no list of passengers, and some of them having return tickets. The vessels came into collision about 2.30 a.m., on the 19th, about four or five miles off the coast, in the neigh bourhood of Aldborough. The Haswell and Bruiser, when they approached each other, being in a direc tion to meet end on, or so nearly as to involve a risk .of collision, the helms of both should have been put to port, so as to pass on the port side of each other, as directed by Art. 13 of the " Regulations for Pre venting Collisions at Sea." Instead of observing this pale, the chief mate of the Bruiser put his helm a-starboard when between 300 and 400 yards from the Haswell, mistaking, as he alleges, her bright light for the riding light of a ship at anchor, and without due regard to the difference between a riding light and the height of a mast-head light. In a minute or two after putting hie helm a-star- . board, on seeing the Haswell close upon him, he ordered the helm to be put hard a-starboard, but too late to avoid the collision, the Haswell, at the same time, porting her helm. The vessels met, the stem of the Haswell striking the Bruiser on her starboard beam amidships, and penetrating deeply into her hull. In this state the two vessels remained together, the Bruiser being, as it were, impaled upon the stem of the Haswell. The engines of the Has well were kept slowly moving a -head, by which means the Bruiser was kept afloat about 10minutes, during which time, by most prompt and judicious exertions, 96 persons were rescued from the sinking ship. It is apprehended that as many as 13 persons at least must have gone down with the Bruiser when the Haswell backed out of her, and she sunk. The Haswell was found to have sustained very con siderable injury, but was able to return to London, having on board those who were saved from the other ship. It is agreed by all the witnesses that the night was fine and clear, so that the lights of the ship might be seen from two or three miles, and hull from half a mile to a mile off. There was no throng of shipping, or any other circumstance, to account for the collision, which can only, therefore, be ascribed to some default of the persons in charge of one or both vessels. As usual on these occasions, each party lays the blame on the other. The case stated by the witnesses from the Haswell is to the effect that whilst they were proceeding, in a course N.E. i N., at the rate of 7f to 8 knots, the mast head light of an approaching steamer was reported, and in a few minutes the red light. These lights had scarcely been seen, and the helm of the Haswell ported to widen the distance, when the approaching steamer (which afterwards proved to be the Bruiser) suddenly put her helm hard a-starboard, and endeavoured to run across the bows of the Haswell. Seeing this, the mate of the Haswell, after an exclamation of surprise at the recklessness of the person in charge of the Bruiser, put his helm hard a-port, and almost immediately the collision took place, and which witnesses from the Haswell ascribe to bad look-out on board the Bruiser. On the other hand, the case as stated by the witnesses from the Bruiser was to the effect that whilst she was proceeding on her course S.W. by S., the three lights of a steamer were, discovered right ahead. This vessel (as afterwards appeared) was a steamer called the Grenadier, bound northward, and which about 10 or 15 minutes previously had passed to starboard of the Haswell. That the Bruiser ported her helm to pass the Grenadier, and almost imme diately afterwards a bright light, which was the Haswell's masthead light, was seen nearly ahead, or at most one point on the starboard bow, which was taken to be the riding light of a vessel at anchor. That the helm of the Bruiser was then put a-star board, and immediately afterwards, upon sight, for the first time, of the Haswell's red light, was put hard a-starboard, when she ran under the Haswell's bows, and the collision which then took place is, by the witnesses of the Bruiser, ascribed to the defec tive lights, particularly the red light, of the llas well. In this conflicting state of testimony we have, fortunately, the evidence of two or three disinte rested witnesses. First, there is the evidence of John Jeffels, master of the schooner Perseverance, who states that he noticed the Haswell's lights when she was astern of him, and could distinctly see the three lights at 1 to 2 miles distance. A question had been raised whether this witness had not mistaken the lights of the Grenadier for those of the Haswell, but he speaks unhesitatingly that they were the Has we ll' s. He also states t h at w h en the Haswell w as passing close to hi m, h e saw the masthead an d red lights, but not the green light, of the Bruiser, from which it is to be inferred that the Bruiser must have been to port of the Haswell, and should have seen her red light, which was then burning clearly. Again, in corrobo ration of the case of the Haswell, the chief mate of the Grenadier states that after passing the Haswell, and getting ahead of her, he saw her three lights, and could see her hull well. That the lights were burning brightly,. and were good lights. That after passing the Haswell and the schooner Perseverance he kept his course, and w as then on the port bow of the Haswell. That he then passed to port of the Bruiser, about a length off, without having occasion to port his helm, and that aftei passing him the Bruiser went across the wake of the Grenadier in the direction of the Haswell, the Haswell then being about a point and a half on the starboard side of the Grenadier's wake. This Witness's evidence is con firmed by that of the chief engineer of the Grenadier, who was also on deck at the time. From this inde pendent evidence, Corroborating the testimony of the witnesses from the Haswell, two conclusions seem to follow :—First, that the Haswell's lights up to the period of the collision were b urn i ng c l ear l y ; an d, secondly, that if a proper look- ou t h a d b een k e pt o n board the Bruiser, the red light of the Haswell might have been seen by the Bruiser before, or at all events immediately on ber passing the Grenadier; and there fore, that the officerin charge of the Bruiser, by star boarding his helm and going under the bows of the Haswell, committed a breach of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, Table (C), Art. 13, in the Schedule to the Merchant Shipping Amendment Act, 1862. In consequence of the non-observance of this rule, the damage arising from the collision in this case is, by the 299th section of the Merchant Ship ping Act, 1852, to be deemed to have been occa sioned by the wilful default of John Scott, chief mate of the Bruiser, the person in charge of the ship circum stances in the case making a departure from the on a careful rule necessary, the court, to be no at,the time ; and as there appeared considera tion of all the circumstances, and maturely weigh ing the evidence adduced on behalf of the respec tive vessels, as well as of those witnesses who were not interested, came to the conclusion that Jolla Scott, the chief mate of the Bruiser, was guilty of a and loss of the Bruiser, as cancelled from ta d hn e i f ds a u f do l t ar causing tteh. is It defaultw th a e s h c ci s o o l u l c i te s er i n o t id l e cda teen w the part of chief mate of the Bruiser that the Grenadier might have intercepted the view of the side lights of the Has wellpassed the Bruiser, and h confused by the brightness oft att h h until ne might lig the hts t h have formerathadbeen i ust had been passed. The court could not assume this to have been the case, in the absence of positive proof, and it could be urged only MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BRACE OF SCOUNDRELS.—George Stanley and George Smith, two young men, were charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Windmill-street for an improper purpose. Thomas Cheney, 87 C, deposed to seeing the prisoners last night near the St. Martin's urinal. He watched the prisoners, and saw Stanley enter the urinal, following a gentleman, while Smith waited outside, and as soon as a constable in uniform came near, gave Stanley warning. The prisoners then left, and visited other urinals, follow ing gentlemen in and out, and he then took them into cus tody. Stanley exclaimed, "Good God, we have only just come put of the Royalty Theatre," but he (Cheney) knew that not to be true, and that the prisoners were two of the gang of frequenters of urinals and the associates of noto rious thieves. , The prisoners denied all the constable had stated, and said they had only just left the Royalty Theatre. Cheney said that after the prisoners were locked up they were heard concocting what they should say before the magistrate. A constable proved seeing the prisoners at a certain hour following two gentlemen, and hearing one of the gentle men call them dirty beasts. Cheney said one of the prisoner's associates, named Hart, was charged at Bow-street with getting £2O from a sea faring man, who could not prosecute, and so the fellow got off. Mr. Knox said the worst thieves who were brought to that court were respectable compared with the prisoners. It was clear the prisoners' object in visiting such places was either to extort money or to take away men's charac ters. He should commit them for three months each, and he was sorry he could not do more. THAMES. CRUELTY TO HORSES.—Mr. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended before Mr. Woolrych to prosecute three persons for cruelty to horses, and presented the cases to the magistrate as very flagrant ones. Thomas Smith, a carman of George-yard, Whitechapel, and Thomas Smith, his son, aged 17, were first charged. Henry Francis, a constable of the Royal Society, saw the younger defendant driving a horse and cart. The article contained about half a ton of export goods. The horse was very old, poor in condition, and worn out. The boy was flogging the horse in a very savage manner on the flanks and other parts of the body, and also on the head with a whip and the thong of the whip. There were many cuts under the flanks and on each side of the mouth. The horse was taken out of the cart and sent to the Green yard, and had been since slaughtered. Mr. Woolrych said the elder defendant had no right to send his horse out in the state it was found by the officer Francis, and fined him 30s. The boy was a savage young wretch, and there was no knowing what acts of cruelty and tyranny ho might indulge in if not restrained. He remanded the lad for a week, and would take no bail. George Frederick Marls, a cab drier, badge No. 13,418, was charged with cruelty to a horse, the property of Mr. William Case, the proprietor of John's-mews, Bedford square, Stepney. Mr. Love said the prisoner was sent out with.a horse on Tuesday, the 26th of August. It was then in good con dition. The defendant carried seven persons in his cab to an Irish funeral in Leytonstone, from Bloomsbury. He was driving the horse for upwards of 12 hours. It was without a blemish, sound, and fresh when taken out in the morning. When the horse was brought back iu the evening it was off its feed, exhausted, the whole of its off side from the rump to the shoulder covered with weals so numerous that it was impossible to count them, the shafts of the cab were broken and other injuries done to the.vehicle. On the rump of the animal was a bladder newly formed larger than the hand. The horse was kept in the stable three days. It was permanently injured. Mr. Love called the defendant's employer to prove his case, and he was con firmed by other witnesses. Mr. Woolrych said this was a case of extreme cruelty. The defendant had not only over-worked and over-driven a valuable horse, but had flogged it in a most inhuman • way. Men must bo taught lessons of humanity by the law. The case was a shocking one. He sentenced the prisoner to two mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. Completion of the St. Lawrence Cable. From Cyrus W. Field, Auxee Bay, to the Direc tors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, London, Sept. 20 : " The cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence was completed this evening.

STURGEON.--A weekly contemporary says it is reported that the lady who has promised the noble sum of £20,000 to Mr. Spurgeon, for the purpose of founding an orphanage in connection with his chapel, is the Duchess of Sutherland. The directors of the Sciude Railway Company have issued a report for the six months ending 30th June last, including reports of their other under takings, the Punjaub Railway, the Delhi Railway, and the Indus Steam Flotilla. The gross receipts on the Scinde Railway amounted to £53,166, and the expenses were £43,083, leaving a balance of £10,083. The earnings of the Steam Flotilla cannot be ex actly stated, but the net receipts are estimated at £11,500. On the Punjaub Railway the receipts have reached, in the aggregate, the sum of £52,664, or about £15,053 more than in the previous six months. The report of the Delhi Railway states that the works progress in a satisfactory manner, and an early opening of a portion of the line at each extremity, it is anticipated, will soon be realised. The Secretary of State for India has sanctioned an addition of £2,500,000 to the capital of the under taking under the guarantee of five per teat, in mitigation of his default, "and would, no doubt, be taken into consideration by the Board of Trade on an application for a renewal of his certificate, which, under the very serious circumstances of this case, the court felt it necessary, in the execution of its very responsible duty, to cancel. The court having no reason to attribute any portion of the blame of the collision to the officer in charge of the Ila.swell, his certificate was returned to him. JAMES TRAIL. Hy. HARRIS,/ Nautical Assessors. R. B. BAKER, E rl Grey at Newcastle-upon-T3ne. -o On Wednesday Earl Grey delivered an address at the opening of a Fine Arts Exhibition in connection with the Newcastle-on -Tyne Mechanics' Institution. The object of the noble earrsaddress was to prove that mechanics' ins:i tutes had iu no sense of the wordproved failures, and that they were yet capable of doing a vast amount of good. He thought there could be nodeubt that the facilities for study afforded by those institutions had given most valuable as sistance to many men of talent and of slender means, and had enabled them to qualify themselves for higher eniploy ment,, and for greater utility to their fellow-countrymen than they could otherwise have reached. In the next place. it seemed to him that that and similar institutions might be highly useful in bringing together and improving the IC lations with each other of the two great classes of the em ployers and employed. They knew that those institutions were formed principally for the benefit of the working classes ; but it was not by their unaided exertions that they had been generally established. Almost invariably—and certainly it had been the - case with regard to that institu tion—they had received generous assistance and support from the employers of labour, as well as from those who worked with their hands. Surely, then, the fact that both employers and employed joined in establishing those insti tutions, and that temployeis were liberal contributors in money towards their expense, ought to create a feeling of mutual good will in both. (Hear, hear.) Referring to the `strike in the iron trade, he said he should express no opi nion as to which party might be in the right in these un fortunate disputes. But he hoped that, without giving offence to anyone, he might say that it was deeply to be lamented, for the interests of all parties concerned, that the differences which had arieen between the masters and men had led to that unfortunate strike, and that such a mode of attempting to arrive at a settlement had been adopted. r It was gi'eatly to be wished, for the take of ali 4 parties,' that Some amicable settlement of those unhappy differences could be arrived at. He would ask them to consider how very great and important were the interests which were affected by that unhappy state of things. He was told that the amount of money annually paid in wages to those per sons who were directly or indirectly dependent for em ployment upon the iron trade—he included those who worked iron, and those who raised coal for employment in furnaces, and all the trades immediately connected with the produce of iron, and the rolling mills—was not less than two millions sterling. What an enormous .amount that was with reference to the general welfare of the country it was not necessary for him to remind them. He was fur ther informed that during the strike, which was happily over with regard to the blast furnaces, but which had lasted for somewhere • about four weeks, or rather more/ no less than £50,000 in wages had been lost; and that amongst those connected with the rolling mills, who were still unhappily on strike, £lOO,OOO in wages had already been lost. That made £150,000 in wages, lost in a com paratively short time. When one considered how much privation, how much suffering to many families, such. a loss of income to the labouring man must create, it was, he thought, impossible to look upon it without the most painful feelings. Not only amongst the men themselves, but amongst their families, how much distress and misery had to be endured ? Must there not have been women in weak health to whom the loss of their accustomed weekly income would make the difference between life and death, or at all events between permanent and confirmed sick ness and restoration to health ? Must there not have been children, whom at their critical period of life, the loss of their income by their parents must deprive of the ad vantages of schooling and of that nourishment which was so essential to their good in order that they might grow up to be strong and healthy men and women ? Were there not the causes of future and greater suffering, perhaps for many years to come, to numberless individuals in that un happy state of things ? They must remember that it was not the workmen alone who suffered. The loss to the mas ters was also very large from having their capital standing idle, and from being compelled to keep their works and machinery in repair whilst they were doing no profitable work. And not only that, but all those connected with them—the whole retail trade of the town and of the vil lages around it, the railways and the public companies —in ,till these there was a loss of income which was felt directly and indirectly by a very large number of persons indeed, and was calculated if it went on to produce very great suf fering. Surely, when they considered all that, they must very greatly lament that such a state of things • should exist; and theysnust be led to hope that by some means or other better understanding might be arrived at.. He earnestly, hoped that mechanic institutes might, in 'some degree, continue to produce a more friendly feeling be• - tween employers 'and. employed, and . ho thought that the considerations he had ventured to lay before them were sufficient to prove that, independently of their duty, it was for the common interest of both parties to arrive at an amicable settlement of those disputes. But their duty in that matter must not be overlooked, and he . was sure he need not tell them that if a really Christian spirit prevailed both amongst the masters and amongst the workmen, such a thing as a lock-out or a strike would cease to be heard of. (Applause.) There had been, and he trusted there was still going on, a great improvement in the manners and habits of all classes in the nation. If they looked back, not for a year or ten years, but for a century or a century and a half, no one could doubt what a great change for the bettor had in many respects taken place in their habits as a people. Formerly habitual drunkenness was considered no disgrace by a gentleman; now .for a gentleman to be seen drunk was considered one of the greatest disgraces that could be conceived. But that change had not been suddenly brought about. -It had been by a gradual improvement of manners, and very much owing to the fact that by degrees the higher classes of so ciety had learned to seek a part, at all events, of that amusement and relaxation which all men required from their serious occupations, not merely in field sports and in mere animal indulgences, but in intellectual amusements and pursuits. Might they not hope that the same process would by degrees take place in a lower rank of society, and that the amusing books circulated by mechanics' in stitutes, the lectures, the opportunities for conversation and social intercourse without the temptations of a publichouse, which those institutions supplied, would by degrees pro duce a considerable improvement amongst the working classes? In fact, precisely by the same means by which that great reform had been accomplished in the upperranks of society, they might hope and trust that it might also be accomplished in the lower. Perhaps even the youngest man there present might not live to see anything like a complete change, but that was no reason they should despair of ulti mately effecting great reform. And ho hoped that there were already symptoms of it. He was told, and he believed, that already there wore many working men who showed by their conduct that they understood the value of mental cul tivation, and the formation of provident and temperate habits. They might be a minority, and he was afraid they were. and at present a small minority; that the indulgence in intoxicating liquors was still the besetting sin of Eng lishmen as it was the sin of the descendants of English men in Australia and America. But still the moment that even a minority began to see the folly and error of those ways, they might hope that their good example would gradually spread until the time should como when, in the opinion of his own class, it would be as disgraceful to a working man to be seen drunk as it now was to a gentle man. That he thought was one manner in which"those in stitutions were calculated to be useful, and though they had not hitherto accomplished so much as had been ex pected of them, lie did not see any reason,for despairing as to the gradual increase of their utility. MR. WALPOLE ON TIIE REMOVAL OF MR. BEALES. Out of. a resolution passed by the reformers of. Maryle bone and Paddington, at a public meeting held by them on the 7th inst., a correspondence has arisen, of which the following forms part : —" To Mr. D. Gruyther, Tarlington hall. Sir—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., accompanied by the copy of a memorial respecting the removal of Mr. Beales from the office of re vising barrister, and asking me to receive a deputation "appointed to wait on me to present a memorial to obtain my answer in form." As these papers were sent to my private residence I did not receive them until the other day, when they were forwarded to me at Balmoral, and, in acknowledging them now, I have only to say that since I neither had nor have anything whatever to do, either di rectly or indirectly, with the appointment or removal of Mr. Beales from his office, it would be absolutely useless to allow the deputation to wait upon me.—l am, &C., S. H. WALPOLE, The Oairnies, Perth, Sept. 18." TUE SIIIP FAVORITE.—The following is a re turn to an order made on the motion of Mr. Seely, giving date when her Majesty's ship Favorite last sailed from England to North America, stating whether she had any steel or chilled-iron shot or shell on board; and if su, how many ? And whether any steel or chilled-iron shot or shell have been since sent to her ; and, if so, how many and when ? And, if none have been sent, whether it is in tended to send any, and when :—" I. When last sailed from England V. North America ?-24th of April, 1866. 2. Had she any steel or chilled-iron shot or shell on board ? None. 3. Have any steel or chilled-iron shot or shell boon since sent to her; and, if so, how many, and when ? None have been sent, but 1,639 chilled shot for 7-inch guns have been issued to Halifax for the land service, and they could on an emergency be made available for the Favorite. 4. If none have been sent, is it' intended to send any, and when?—Steel shot and shell for the Favorite will probably be ready in about the second week in September, and they will thou be shipped to Halifax." NOTES TRAINING FRO D m ISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Our Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire horses are progressing satisfactorily ; and we have a great many nags that are receiving a final polish for the ensuing week's racing here. Breeze, however, has been stopped again, as we had prepared our readers for, her legs giving the senior Hayhoe a great deal of trouble. Lothario, though, does plenty of capital work ; and this morning Tourmalin led him two .miles at a clipping pace. lie will be the only runner for the Baron in the Cesarewitch, and he looks uncommonly well. Arnull has got to work 'again with Emigrant, but he is far from a good one. Broomielaw is doing first class, and goes a clinking mile and three quarters daily. Eakring has done little or no thing at all this week, but Sealskin gallops two miles in good form. Godding gets Vulture to lead Jollity, who is.really doing more long work than any other horse on the heath, and she appears to do well with it, as her action is free. Il Re Galantuomo, and King Charming, receive John Dawson's strict atten tention, and they move beautifully. It is possible, however, that the first-mentioned will be asked to pull off the Great Eastern Handicap. Nu is both looking and going well, but may not be required yet. Breadalbane is quite right for his next week's engagements; and Fidelite, Gentille Dame, Gon tran, La Favorite, Matamore, Mathilde, and the . Squire are shortly expected from France. In addition to the above horses the following are in nice preparation :—Saladin, Eccleston, Python, the Amanda colt, Jewel, Problem, Knight of the Garter, The Rake, Vernlam, Sesur de Charit6, Dragon, Imperator, Hippia, Falkenstein, Dutch Admiral, Plunder, The Hatter ; Ambition, Gowns man, Peeress, Duke of York, Qui Vive, Gold Pen, HigliWood, Chapel Royal, Artesian, Nine Elms, Out and Outer, Cheltenham, Earl of Derby, the two Robin Hoods, Purchase, Canard, Bombastes, Misforthne, Julius, and others. Plutus is following Gladiateur, and both are well. Kingsley and Land Tax have arrived from Drewett's. IL SLEY. Lord Lyon galloped two miles and a half this morning, led by Split the Difference ; and Jezabel schooled the yearlings. Gardevisure took Rust, The General, and Achievement ,a mile. Peon and Paris galloped a mile and a half ; and Fitiroy nearly as far, but more slowly. Slender is in nice prepa ration. Vampire pioneered the Celt and Aggra vator, going two miles and a quarter. Threadbare is in long fast work, and Vocalist too. RICHMOND. This having been our race week our horses have been somewhat indulged for a day or 'two. Rose and Plaudit are being got ready to meet Achieve ment at Newmarket, and Lord Lyon's sister will, assuredly, have her work to do to shake off Plaudit, who is certainly a nailer. Blairgowrie is leading them their mile gallops. Raunds takes Strathconan a mile and a quarter ; and Zenobia and Moldavia follow Empress of India and llawkswell two miles. Podargus is amiss again, but El Cid, Bumble Kite, Monolith, and Quick March are going first class. The Admiral, Limber Magna, White Rose, Gayous, Graciosa, Laiage, Bob Chambers, and Lady Dur ham are severally in beautiful work. • HAMBLET ON. Rococo is lame, and Harry Brailsford, like Elfeta, has been turned out. The Czar and Lady Vane are galloping two miles, and, with the exception of Sundeelah, are the only animals here in long work, as Dusty Miller, Bird's Eye, Fair I \lelrose, The Dean, Tynedale, Mandrake, The Priest, Weather Guide, Child of the Islands, Harrowgate, Gentle Gale, Lady Eston, Miss Williams, Mendi cant, Jura, and Minster Bell are merely cantering ; and Arkenside, 'Belmont, and Holstein galloping a mile and a half slowly. EPSOM. Planet is amiss ; but Verdant, Vigorous and Violent are each in good work for the cesarewitch. The first-mentioned, though, is somewhat dickey on his pins. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake took a fast gallop of two miles and a half, all on the collar, this morning, led by the Flutter colt, And Bradamante followed Pintail a similar distance, fast. Dulcimer and the Splitvote colt galloped over two miles. Pepper's Ghost has been stopped ; and neither Overture, the two-year old Mayonaise filly, or Captain Kidd are doing any thing. Countess Amy is schooling the yearlings. Savernake goes uncommonly well, and Bradamante too. LAMBOURNE. Knight is sending Regalia along for the Cesare witch, and she now goes so well that we fancy she will take a deal of doing for that race. Caithness is very queer on his pins just now, consequently has been eased. Chepstow gallops a mile and three quarters. Regalia goes two miles by herself. Bates is looking well to Pluto, but he wont do for the Cesarewitch. Marksman has been indulged somewhat this week, but he is quite fit. Marco Spada is looking and going well. MALTON. Klarinska, Knight of the Crescent, Knight of St. Michael, Knight of the Grove, Queen of Nuts, and Hebe are quite fit for their Newmarket engagements next week. This morning Southminster led the two three-year-old Knights a clipping mile and a half gallop, and the Crescent moved beautifully. The Rejected schooled Knight of the Grove arid Queen of Nuts. Klarinska and Liebe galloped a mile and three quarters. Klarnet, War, and West wick have been eased. Brown Bread is doing his Cesarewitch work first-class, and looks quite &lin self again. He galloped two miles this morning with Jonquil and the Flying Dutchman colt. Trea sure Trove and the Lion were walking only STOCKBRIDGE. Several of our horses are in Wales, and others merely walking, including Blue 'Riband, EAU; Uncas, Mr. Pitt, Tumbler, &c. Repulse takes Lady Hester a nice mile gallop each morning, andVauban does a like similar work with Prodigal. Kangaroo gallops a mile ; and Master Richard, Copenhagen, Lecturer, Glendale, and Ackworth a mile and a half. Inez, Lady Rose, Captain, OPhicleide, Yinpress, Duchess, Nell Gwynne, and others, gallop three quarters of a mile. Wild Agnes is doing long work for the Cesarewitch, but not very fast at present. The remainder of John Day's and Brown's progress satisfactorily. PROTECTION AGAINST TILE BANES.—Our corre spondent, signing himself " Attilio Cernarchi," requests us to state that, in publishing a letter of his on the above sub ject on the 19th inst., from thEs word daily having been altered into weekly, we attributed to him a suggestion which he considers utterly inefficient. . THE LATE ME. J. B. DILLON, M.P.—At the weekly meeting of the council of the Reform League held last evening, Mr. Mantle prGposed a resolution expressive of the sympathy of the League with the family of the late Mr. Dillon, M.P. Mr. Morrison seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A BOY KILLED ON A RAILWAY.—On Thursday morning a boy named John Parry, 13 yehrs of age, was run over by the Southport express, duo in 3.fauchester at 10.35 a.m., a little way from the Pendleton Station. The poor boy was hurled a distance of about ten yards, and fell with his head resting on the line, and the whole train passed over him. lie had boon to see his father, who is employed at the wire works of Messrs. Maybury, Matthews and Co., and was crossing th e line at the time of the acci dent. The train appears first to have caught him on the right arm. His head was literally cut in pieces. There is a man employed at the crossing, but he could not save the coa l train from Manchester was passi ng deceased, as a at the same time.-11fanoltester Courier.

Horticultural Exhibition in S andringha Park. This exhibition, which was held on Thursday afternoon in the Park at Sandringham, was a great success, and was attended by at least 3,000 persons ; indeed so great an assemblage has not been seen in the neighbourhood of the Prince of Wales's Norfolk seat since the first arrival of the Princess Alexandra to her new home immediately after the auspicious wedding. Not only were there many thousands of respectable persons permitted to roam through park, gardens, and grounds, hut the beautiful little church, and particularly the Royal pew, was visited and inspected with considerable interest, as was also the marble monument erected by the Prince of Wales to the memory of the Rev. George B. Moxon, his late chaplain. The band of the Ist Norfolk Rifle Volunteer Battalion played some excellent pieces. One large marquee, 75 feet long, contained the cottagers' products of flowers, fruits, and vegetables ; or, at least, as many as it would hold, and a bench had to be rigged up out side for the remainder. The potatoes are exceedingly fine, and several extra prizes had to be given. The prince of exhibitors was the one-legged shoemaker from Wolferton and Claxton, who, born on the estate; is quite a character in himself, and performs the duties of chaplain, gardener, merchant, and cob bler for the benefit of his more illiterate neighbours. All the exhibitions of the cottagers were wonderfully good, considering that this was the first occasion, and only about three months' notice had been given. The great feature of the show was another large tent 75 feet long, which Mr. Carmichael had filled from the royal gardens to the general admiration of the visitors. Mr. Edward Mitchell, of Wolferton, con tributed some very fine dahlias, and an elegant bou quet. The Rev. J. Freeman, of Ashwicker, also contributed some charming dahlias, and Mr. Allen, of Saddlebow, sent some very fine roses and dahlias ; there were also some exquisite devices of the Feathers and the Crown contributed by Mr. L. W. Jarvis, of Middleton Towers. The beautiful device made by the children of Sandringham School with the mono gram of A. E. A., and a Swiss miniature garden by Mrs. Sherringham were most admired. The Rev. W. Lake Ouslow, M.A., the new rector of Sand ringham, presented the prizes given by their Royal Highnesses for the best kept cottage and garden in the different parishes. The rev. gentleman, who was enthusiastically received, congratulated those present upon the success which had attended the first show. It was the wish of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales that all the gardens and grounds should be open free to the public. The committee thought it right, however, to charge a nominal fee of admission, the surplus of which would be devoted to charitable institutions like the Lynn and West Norfolk Hospi tal. The Rev. W. W. Dickinson, M.A., rector of Wolferton, the energetic secretary of the society, to whose endeavours the general suceess of the day was mainly due, then addressed those present. The object sought by every promoter of the society, from his Royal Highness to himself, was the amelioration of the moral condition of the labour ing population. The special prizes of the Prince and Princess of Wales for neat cottage and garden were awarded as follows :—Sandrimeum-Babingley--- first, William Lane ; second, James Shipley. Wol ferton —first, Matthew Minns; second, James Hudson. West Newton—first, John Smith ; se cond, Matthew Harrod. Dersingham—first, James Loads ; second, John Mitchell ; Nokes honourably mentioned. By 6 o'clock the park was cleared of the immense crowds, the gates closed, and the pro ceedings brought to a successful termination. LONDON GAZETTE.—Last Evening. INDIA OFFICE, SEPT. 17.
