The discount demand to-day has been very quiet, and the rates show a slightly easier tendency. The position of the Bank of England has been ninch strengthened during the past week. The bullion has been largely increased, while the reserve of notes a l so s h ow a cons id era bl e a ddi t i on.

AUSTR ALIAN SNAKE.—The Riverine Herald is re mlsPonsible for the following :—" It is said that two a en, belo ng i ng to Mr. Camerm; of Ullima Station, were Pas sing by one of the tanks uP on the Sandhill Station, whent a ois t heir ho rror and surprisean immense snake, or se rpent, l'r°lllled its huge length to the height o f t en f ee t f rom th e d, and ' flung at once its venom and its strength.' P o • shltunately, however, the reptile's aim was faulty, so that. akoo men e scaped with a fright. The men aver that the do wn was at le as t 2 0 foot long, with a mane for six feet "wn the neck like that of a horse, and that its mouth Ilvv!len open looked large enough to swallow a fat wether, nhout oven crushing its bones.

Ilee Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Louise, Prince Louis of Besse, and Prince Leopold, went up Glen Gelder. The Queen and the Late Premiei. The Queen has, out of respect to the memory of her Prime Minister, altered the day of her depar ture from Balmoral from Friday to Saturday, Lord Palmerston's funeral being fixed for the previous day. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of \Vales, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince John of Glucksburg, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and Count Gleichen, went out shooting yesterday, near Windsor. Major Grey was in attendance. The Princess of Wales, accompanied by Princess Hilda of Anhalt, and attended by the Hon. Mrs. Stonor and Mr. Fisher, went to Windsor Castle yesterday morning, and returned in the afternoon. Their royal highnesses went to the St: James's Theatre in the evening. The Dowager Queen of Hawaiia in Liverpool. Queen Emma, whose visit has been expected with interest for some days past, arrived in Liverpool yesterday morning, by special train from Hartford. Her Majesty was attended by Lady Franklin, the Lord Bishop of Oxford, Lord Robert Cavcia Lord De Tabley, Sir Robert Phillimore, Sir Sydney Cotton, the Hon. Robert and Mrs. Curzon, Miss Cracroft, the Rev. W. and Mrs. Hoapili, and was received by the mayor of Liver pool. (Mr. E. Lawrence) and the Hawaiian con sul: A large crowd was in waiting and followed the party to several places of public interest. Her Majesty was conducted by the mayor through St. G eorge's-hall, when the great hall was illuminated, and the grand organ played; and afterwards the distinguished party enjoyed (as far as the weather would admit) a ride through the town, lunched with the mayor, and attended a crowded public meeting in aid of the Hawaiian Church Mission in the Phil harmonic-hall, over which building the llawaiian flag was hoisted. At the meeting at the Philhar monic -hall, the Lord Bishop of Oxford gave an eloquent exposition of the object of the Queen's visit, and made a powerful appeal for aid to enable the Church of England to plant an independent branch in the midst of the independent population of the Sandwich Islands, which should receive its orders from the ancient church of England, agreeing with the church in articles and formularies, and re producing in men of another blood the self-same church which we enjoyed, as the principal channel of the means of grace. He traced the history of Hawaiia since the time when it threw off the bond age of idolatry, priesthood, and chieftainship, with out knowledge of a religion and civilisation to adopt in their stead. He placed in striking contrast the condition of the people under the old heathenism of the islands with their condition under the subsequent partial spread of Christianity amongst them, but pointed out the fact that as yet the only satisfactory proof of the saving reception of Christianity by any people—the elevation of their moral character—had not been produced in these people. They were perishing off the face of the earth by the fruit of their immorality. Was it not for Christianity to change all this ? He made an affecting allusion to the efforts of the late king—the husband om the noble lady who was that day their illustrious visitor still mourned—to secure the establish ment of a Christian church in his dominions ; and described this visit on the part of her Majesty as much the result of her desire to fulfil the inten tions of her late consort as of her longing to become the mother of the church of her people. At the close of his lordship's address a liberal collection was made ; and afterwards the meeting was ad dressed by the Rev. Mr. Hoapili and other gentle men, and the meeting closed. After the meeting Queen Emma and her party left the town, and re turned by rail to Hartford. His Excellency the Russian Ambassador and Baroness Brunnow havo arrived at Ghosham Houso from Brighton. The Duke do Caumont Laforee has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Paris. The Right hon Sir Robert Peel arrived in town last evening, in order to attend the funeral of Lord Pal merston at Westminster Abbey. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Edinburgh. SHARE MARKETS, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share! Railways.

Watkins have before now evidenced, again and again, the validity of their right and title to the position they have long occupied in the very front rank among the most:eminent photographers of the day. But, with many of their previous successes still surviving very vividly in our remembrance, we can not recall one so brilliant and, to our mind, so conclusive, as an attestation of their skill and mastery in the manipulation of this exquisite art, as the one here afforded by the production of this all but perfect vera effigies of the great Ca tholic Dignitary recently installed iu the vacated archiepiscopal chair of his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, and who has but just now, we believe, returned from Rome, after having been invested with the pallium by the hand of His Holiness. The head of Archbishop Manning, moreover, is one well worthy of having been accepted by any photographer as a test of his capabili ties in the conquest of all the subtler difficulties of his art. Phrenologically and phy siognomically it is a head in many ways very re markable. Ascetic, even macerated, in the general expression of the countenance, the moral and in tellectual scope evidenced by the contour of the skull, cannot by the most superficial observer but be noticed as something very extraordinary. Those acquainted with the original, speak of the expres sion of the face as very felicitously preserved and perpetuated in this photograph. However this may be, considering it ourselves simply as a photograph, it may be pronounced at once a picture worthy of the highest admiration. ROWING AND SWIMMING.----Every boy should know how to row and to swim. Without undervaluing reading, writing; and the " ologies," I am convinced that the proper scope of a wholsomo education is to secure a sound mind in a sound body. What God has so intimately joined together cannot be separated without injury to both; and one way to strengthen the body and develop° the physi cal powers is to accustom young arms to ply the oars, wield the cricket-bat, and buffet the water in swimming. These exercises ought to be indulged in without interfering with mental training.—Cassels Paper. TIIE ST. IVES PILCHARD FISHERY.—Three seines were shot on Monday evening in St. Ives bay, belonging respectively to the Cornwall, Wearne's, and Bolitho's com panies. The largest shoal is reckoned at 800 hogsheads, the smallest at 400. Immense quantities of fish must have passed during the afternoon and evening, but owing to the foulness of the water they could not be seen from the hills, As it was, the seines were shot at a venture without signals from the shore. had the water been clear there is little doubt that every concern would have made an abundant season. On Tuesday morning a seine was shot at Gurnart& Head, and enclosed a large shoal of 800 hogsheads. Tho St. Ives drift boats also had largo catches on Monday night, from 40,000 pilchards downwards. A few mackerel wore taken, which hrought 38:3. per hundrorl.-117estern News. LAW CLASSES For the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of legal knowledge, amongst the articled and other clerks of solici tors, and guiding them in their studies, law classes, in ad dition to the lectures annually delivered will be instituted by and under the control of the Incorporated Law Society, and will commence on the lst of November next. The classes will be held during the months of November, De cember, January, February, and March, subject to a short interval during the Christmas vacation, on , the following subjects :—The law of real property : reader, Alfred Bailey, Esq., barrister-at-law. Common law: reader, William Markby, Esq., barrister-at-law. Equity: reader, Mon tague Cookson, Esq., barrister-at-law. Each reader will hold two classes during the above pe. riod, one on the elementary, and the other on the mare ad• yanced portion of each particular subject. The reader in roal property will, with the elementary class, go through a course of real property law, taking tho work of Mr. Joshua Williams as a text . -book ; and tho ad vanced class will examine, comment on, and illustrate the principal forms in Messrs. Davidson and Stapylton's Con cise Precedents in Conveyancing, 6th edition, 1865. The reader in equity will take Mr. Josiah Smith's Manual as a text-book of principles with both his classes, and illus trate it by reference to White and Tudor's Lading Cases in Equity, and the later reported decisions. For the procedure of the court he will use, with his ele mentary class, Hunter's Suit in Equity. With his ad vanced class he will refer to the larger treatises on the subject, and the Chancery acts and orders. collected in the 3d edition of the work of Mr. Osborne Morgan. The reader on common law will discuss the following subjects:—With the elementary class (1) the law of civil procedure, (2) the law of contracts.

The readers will call attention, as opportunity may serve, to the bearings of their several subjects upon constitutional law, and legal history. No person will be at liberty to attend an elementary and advanced class on the same subject simultaneously. Three classes, one upon each of the subjects above men will be held, as noarly as powibl., in ovei x .; e ht days. No classes ►ill be held on Saturdays. Tho elemen tary class will commence at 4.40 and close at 5.30 p.m., and the advanced class will commence at 5.30 ,and close at 6.30 p.m. Applications for tickets may be made at the office of the Incorporated Law Society, Chancery-lane. Rooms will be appropriated for the classes at the Hall of the Incorporated Law Society. THE QUEEN OF THE GIPSIES AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—Among the strangers present at Kelso Races on Thursday last, attracted by the hope of seeing the Princess of Wales, was the representative and head of a dynasty now rapidly becoming extinct. This was no other than the descendant of lohnny Faa—Estherßlythe, Queen of the. Gipsies, who had come from Yetholm, her royal abode, a village at the foot of the Cheviots, about seven miles south of .Kelso, to witness her future Queen. She sat on a bank near the entrance to the racecourse, smoking twist tobacco from a very old cutty pipe, speaking her own gibberish to one of her maids in waiting, who was seated beside her, indulging also in the "weed." The Gipsy Queen expressed a wish to see the Princess, and after her anival, when she had seen her, she observed that "she was a deuce and modest-looking lass," and expressed a hope that she might be spared "fang in the land o' the THE TOURIST HARVEST IN SWITZERLAND.—The Journal de la Savoie says :—" The season of tourists is now decidedly over. Letters from Chamounix state that snow covers all the mountain tops. The list of travellers pub lished gives a total of 11,789, or about 1,500 more than last year. The Abeille estimates at £48,000 the sum left the country by excursionists ; about one-third of them from England." THE BATTLE :OF INKERMANN.—The anniversary of the battle of Inkermann falls this year on Sun day, Nov. 5. The battle, it will be remembered, was fought on a Sunday. The anniversary of the battle in 1855 fell on a Monday; in 1856 (leap year), on Wednes day ; in 1857, on Thursday ; in 1868, on Friday ; in 1859, on Saturday; in 1860 (leap year), on Monday; in 1861, on Tuesday ; in 1862, on Wednesday ; in 1863, on Thurs day; in 1864 (leap year), on Saturday ; and this year, as above stated, the anniversary falls on a Sunday for the first time. INSPECTION OF THE GUARDS.—The half-yearly muster of the Brigade of Guards is fixed to take place in in St. James's Park on Monday, Nov. 6, for the Ist and 3d Battalions of Grenadier Guards, and the Ist Battalion of Coldstream Guards, and the Ist Battalion of the Scots Fusi lier Guards. The muster of the 2d Battalion of Coldstream Guards, and of the Tower Warders (Beefeaters), will take place at the Tower, on Wednesday, Nov. 8 ; and for the 2d Battalion of Grenadier Guards, at Windsor, on Nov. 9. DETEBSUNED SUICIDE AT THE HOUSE OF DETEN TION.--Yesterday afternoon Charles Gustaldi, an Italian, and one of the men under remand from the Marl borough-street Police-court, charged, with another, with breaking into the residence of the Earl of Fife in Dover street, and the Earl of Eldon, Hamilton-place, committed suicide in his cell by hanging himself with his handker chief, which he had attached to tho ventilator in a most ingenious manner, making use of a spoon to enable him to carry out his object. He had been visited in his cell about half an hour previously, and nothing was then observable in his demeanour to lead the officers to imagine that he contemplated taking his life. THE ROYAL VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.—A meeting of volunteer officers was held yesterday, and a recommen dation (which will have to be ratified by the mayor) was agreed to, that if possible - the volunteer forces, both rifles and artillery, should be massed in front of St. George's hall. This would present the finest spectacle, but there are some doubts as to whether there will be room for the men. If not they will be distributed in detachments at the most prominent points of the royal suite. We understand that the Sylph and Sprite, two of the Mersey River Steam boat Company's smartest vessels, have been assigned places alongside the Woodside steamer, which is to con vey the royal party on their river trip. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—During the last few days the catches of herrings by the Groat Yarmouth boats have been comparatively small. Some fresh herrings brought in have sold at high rates ; the general prices have been £l2 to £2l per last (13,200 fish). The opera tions of the Lowestoft boats have also been interrupted by the weather ; those boats which have made good catches made fair prices. A large trade is anticipated at Lowestoft during the next two months. THE WEATHER IN THE CHANNEL.—PORTLAND, DORSET, Wednesday.—The weather in this locality for a week past has been very unsettled, with fresh to strong winds from E. to N. and N.W., with much rain. Yesterday the Coastguard received orders from the Board of Trade to hoist the drum storm signal, in anticipation of a continuance of bad weather. The signal had not been hoisted but a few hours before the wind began to freshen from W., with heavy squalls of rain, and by 9 p.m. the wind had in creased to a gale, which continued all night and to-day. About 3 o'clock this morning the gale was at its height, the squalls being very heavy, after which time the wind veered to N.W., and it has blown a heavy gale from that quarter all day. The Weymouth and Channel Islands steamer Aquila, Capt. Falle, which should have left at 6 a.m. for Jersey, could not proceed on her voyage on account of the heavy weather, the captain wisely considering it best to remain in harbour until 12 to-night before leaving for his destination, should the weather moderate. A large number of vessels brought up in the roadstead ,during yesterday, and a number of others have been in the offing to-day, vainly endeavouring to beat to windward to anchor, but were compelled to put their helms up and run before the wind. Some anxiety was felt in Wey mouth yesterday as the probable fate of three youths named Mace, Gale, and Tizard, who, in spite of the storm warning signal and other cautions, proceeded in a small open boat for a sail in the bay, but as the wind fast rose—being off shore—their efforts to regain the harbour were ineffec tual, and as darkness came on consid erable anxiety was manifested as to their safety; but as o ne of them had just returned from an Indian voyage , a nd bein g a native of Weymouth, it was conjectured he would steer for Lulworth Cove (the piece near where five coastguardsmen lost their lives by the upsetting of their boat in the early part of the year), which turned out to have been the case, as they made their appearance home again this morning, having walked 14 miles after their perilous passage of last evening. Th e barometer has now, 6 p.m., risen considerably, with the wind and sea abating, but from present indications the lull will only prove temporary. THE GARRISON DRAG HOUNDS. —This flying pack, belonging to the officers of the Ist Life Guards, had their first trial meet yesterday (Wednesday), at Harbour-hill, Slough, when Green, the celebrated runner, gave them some first-rate leaps over fences and ditches, taking the drag first over the white rails and away to Eton-wick, thence across the meadows to Dorney common, away to the right to Mr. Aldridge's farm at Cippenham, on towards Two-mile brook, and away to Farnham Royal, leaving Stoke-park to the loft, and finish ing at Mr. Henry Cantrell's farm, Bayliss farm, Stoke. The master ofEthe hounds was Lord Earlsfort ; the whips were Messrs. Trollet, Thurle. Most of the officers of both regiments were out. THE HERRINQ JRADE.—The herrings in stock are now fast disappearing from our quays—ships being taken up for the whole in hand. Six vessels have loaded this week, principally for the Elbe and Rotterdam, and one to Ireland. Accounts from the continent report the market very stiff, and buyers willing to submit to high prices.—Peterhead Sentinel. THE " BENEFIT" OF PRISONERS.-4n the new Prison Act, which will shortly take effect, there is a pro vision that where a sentence expires on a Sunday the prisoner shall be released on the Saturday. preceding. ' The case had not concluded when our report left, LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr and a Common Jury.) BRAUN V. ROSENTHALL. This was a writ of trial sent down from one of the supe rior courts, and the officer of the Lord Mayor's Court had summoned, in accordance with the provisions of the act, 50 jurymen. At a quarter past ten about 20 were in at tendance, and at the half hour 12 were sworn, and his Honour took his seat on the bench, but neither plaintiff, defendant, nor counsel made any appearance. His Honour remarked that perhaps the parties to the suit thought that no court would sit to-day, and requested the officer of the court to see if ho could find the plaintiff's attorney. After some delay, the clerk to the plaintiff's attorney came into court, and said the case was referred ; regretting that he had been unable to spare tho jury the trouble of attending. His Honour observed that the whole machinery of the law bad been put into force for this single case, and the fees payable on it were only 45., out which 2s. went to the jury; but, as the parties did not attend, tho jury would not even receive their miserable twopence each. (Laughter.) He was sorry they should have had Lu .tteud, court should have been opened upon such an accasion, but the law was imperative. The jury would bo discharged, but they would not receive their twopences. The case was then struck out. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNFORTUNATES AND THEIR LANDLADIES.—AmeIia Clements was charged beforo Mr. Knox with wilfully breaking a fanlight at 23, Noel-street, Soho, the property of Susan Kelly. The complainant said the prisoner came to her house with another female last night, and, after abusing her and stating that she had been the cause of a girl of 14 being seduced, broke her fanlight. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said that it was done through jealousy. The prisoner said she went to the house to got a poor young woman's box, which the complainant refused to give up. A witness was then called for the prisoner, who said that she broke the window, but accidentally. Rose Herbert, the young woman whose box was stated to be detained by the complainant, said she was an unfor tunate and resided with the complainant. Thero were four other females residing in the same house, all of whom led a gay life. A few nights ago she (witness) went home intoxicated, and the complainant locked her in the room all night, and threw water on her, and beat her, and if she had been taken ill sho would not have been able to have got assistance. Sho had since ieft the complainant's house and the complainant detained her box. Sergeant Smith, 1 C, said that, on going to Noel-street, he found the witness with an umbrella in her hand and not the prisoner. The witness said sho broke tho window, but the complainant gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Knox said that, practically speaking, the complain ant kept a brothel. If the young girl (Rose Herbert) thought proper to take a summons cut against the com plainant for assaulting her by beating and throwing water over her she could do so ; and no doubt the complainant would be made to smart for it. He should discharge the prisoner, as there was no proof she broke the window, and he would advise her to consult a solicitor. THAMES. RAPACITY OF A BROKER.--A gentleman applied to Mr. Partridge for advice under the following circumstances:— He had seen accounts in the newspapers of the conviction by his Worship of a broker and appraiser named Eli Payne, who was fined £2l, and committed to prison in default of payment, for retaining the proceeds of a distress for rent, making overcharges, and exacting money from the poor people, named Hodges, on whom he distrained. He had a complaint to make against Payne. He was the agent of a lady who was the owner of house property in Bow. He employed Payne to distrain on one of her tenants for rent, and he obtained £6 os. by the distraint, which he had appropriated to his own use. Payne was a man of straw, and possessed no property or any esta blishment whatever. Mr. Partridge said that Payne was in prison under a commitment from that court. In this case the only remedy for the applicant was to sue Payne in the county court for money had and received. He could not interfere in the matter by summons or warrant until it was stated that Payne had made illegal charges for the distraint contrary to the Act of Parliament, regulating brokers' charges. The applicant said Payne had returned every farthing ho received, and given no account at all. Mr. Partridge ---Ho is now in prison. You must go to the County Court if you ;hink it worth while to sue him. Peoplo ought to be cautious as to what brokers they em ploy. We have had many complaints against that class of persons. SMUGGLING.—HEAVY PENALTY.—Isaac Mogstree, a Dutchman, carpenter of the steamship Leo, was brought before Mr. Partridge, cha:ged, on a Custom-house informa tion, with smuggling ;31bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of £lOO. A Custom-house officer, named Charles Thomas Nee, found the tobacco concealed in a drawer in the house or cabin on dock. The prisoner at once said the tobacco was his property. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Partridge sentenced him to pay a fine of £lOO, and, in default of payment, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for six months. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Tho attendance in the Corn Exchange to-day was limited. The supply of English wheat on sale was very moderate, and the tone of the trade was decidedly firm, Monday's currency, in all instances, being well sup ported. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Only a moderato business was transacted in most descrip tions, nevertheless prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at fully previous quotations. English barley was in short supply, but the show of foreign qualities was tolerably large. The trade was firm, and prices were rather on the advance. The malt trade was firm, at full currencies. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities moved off steadily, and prices were rather higher than on Monday. Beans and peas changed hands at the extreme rates of Monday. With English qualities the market was well supplied. For flour there was a moderate inquiry, on former terms. SKIP ARRIVALS THIS Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch. 1020 1410 1559 160 850 Irish Foreign 4 6 10 850 —.55,470 1080 ski.

When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to (,btain little notice. J. Epps, of Loudon, honiceopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to .turn his attention to this subje.t, and at length suueeded, 'with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the pert. et trituration it teceives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate Ftomach. For general use Epps' cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma Dr. Hassan in Ills work, "Food and its Adulterations," says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body."

THURSDAY. None but the keenest of keen sportsmen cared much for braving the elements to-day. It blew and rained in force during the whole of the afternoon, and, moreover, the sport was not of a character to offer any inducement except to mere gamblers. The 50 sous. Sweepstakes over the Abingdon Mile was a fine race between Jack-in-the-Green and Mount Pala- tine, the Duke's colt landing in the last few strides by a short head. Both had to be "ridden," and only the win ner's gameness pulled him through. The heavy nature of the ground was shown in the Han dicap over the Two Middle Miles, when the horses seemed to stand still. The favourites were all beaten, and the almost unbacked Bendigo, with a capability for going through dirt, cut down the field. Ostregor, one of the great favourites for the late Cambridgeshire, easily carried off the T.Y.C. Sweepstakes. In the Free Handicap Zephyr was backed at evens, but she was the first beaten, and King Charming outstayed Wild Agnes, who was conceding too much weight in the heavy ground. To call it "racing" this afternoon would be dignifying it with too strong a term. Horses ran to a standstill, or struggled homo through the mud in a style of running that can give no line for future events, and the so-called sport was assuredly not worth leaving the fireside to see.

Christmas Fat Stock Shows and the Cattle Plague. The magisterial orders recently issued in pursu ance of powers granted by the Lords of her Ma jesty's Honourable Privy Council, and now in force in all parts of the country, for suspending cattle fairs and markets, and having for object the pre vention of the spread of the prevailing cattle plague, have created insurmountable difficulties in reference to the holding of the annual Christmas fat stock shows ; for in all counties there are local exhibitions of fat cattle, in addition to the great Birmingham Show and Smithfield Club Christmas fat cattle show in London. With regard to many of the country exhibitions of fat stock, they will be suspended this year, as the prohibitory notices not only exclude horned stock from markets and fairs, but make it " unlawful to drive or convey any ox, &c., on the turnpike roads or highways," and " impose a penalty of £2O for every such offence ;" and as farmers were instru mental in obtaining magisterial intercession, they have decided not to attempt any innovation or breach of the orders, and unless the prohibitions are rescinded, or a more favourable aspect of the progress of the cattle disease is presented, to with hold fat cattle shows. With reference to Birmingham great Cattle Show, it is now definitely fixed to be held as usual, the Warwickshire farmers acquiescing, under rigid and special rules ; and as to the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, the committee have resolved to open it in December, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. The latter this year will be divested of many rare speci mens, for in the northern counties (Lincolnshire; Yorkshire, Herefordshire, &c.), from which the larger source of supply is derived, a very general feeling of opposition prevails, and in some localities a determination not to send beasts to London. Although the animals are fat, and intended for almost immediate slaughtering, yet very many of them are virtually sold before leaving the feeding sheds in the country, and are exhibited and returned home with their prize honours and fame to the local purchaser; and the great fear of imbibing the fatal contagious cattle disease in their transit to or from London, or during their sojourn at the show, and importing the pest into the country, will preclude many highly bred and fed bullocks from being sent up. The prizes will be awarded as usual, and the show may be fairly represented, but competition will be considerably limited, and many "rare speci mens" and " sensation animals," intended for Christmas fare will be retained on their native soil, and killed, quartered, and consumed in the locality of their fatting lairs. Suicide Through the Evictions of the Yidland Railway Company. Yesterday afternoon a painful inquiry was held before Dr. Laakester, COroner for Central Middlesex, at the Triumph, Skinner-street, Euston-road, on the body of Win. Gullett, aged 42, a fishmonger, carrying on business at No. 3, Brill-yard, Somers Town, who committed suicide in the most determined and frightful manner consequent on being turned out of his premises to make way for the works of the Midland Railway. The jury viewed the body, which presented a shocking spectacle when uncovered, there being no less than eight large wounis in the stomach and abdomen, which the de ceased had himself inflicted with what is termed a fish-knif e , a formidable weapon, upwards of a foot in length, exclusive of the handle, and gradually diminishing from the hilt towards the point. It was laid before the Court, and was covered with blood. Ellen Gullett, wife of deceased, said her husband had be haved very strangely for a long while, ever since he had received notice to quit his premises from the Midland Rail way Company, who were about to pull down property in every direction. They had refused to give him any com pensation for the loss of his business, and that had induced him also to drink very deeply. He frequently said his business was ruined, and was - no use to him without the house he was living in, but bad never threatened to de stroy himself. On Tuesday morning, about 20 minutes to 9 o'clock, her son came running to her and said his father had stabbed himself. She ran up to his bedroom, and found he had stabbed himself in his bowels. She sc:eamed, and some neighbours ran for the doctor, and Mr. Luke came, but ho died on the previous morning (Wednesday). By the Coroner—He was quite sensible after committing the act, and on her asking why he had done it he replied, because the Midland Railway Company had destroyed hint in his business and his neighbours were all against him. She did not think ho would have committed 'suicide had it not been for receiving notice from the Midland Railway Company to quit his premises without compensation. The son of deceased deposed that hearing a strange noise ho went into his father's bedroom, and found his father lying on the bed, and a largo quantity of blood round hiss body. The large fish-knife used in the business (the one produced and already described) was lying near him. He asked deceased what was the matter, and he said he had stabbed himself, and that he had done it through the con duct of the Midland Railway Company towards him. Wit ness then ran down and gave the alarm to his mother and neighbours. Mr. Luke, surgeon, of the Euston-road, said when called in to see deceased he found him suffering from eight fear ful wounds in the abdomen. They were, however, so close together that they appeared at first sight like ono horrible gash, from which the bowels were also protrud ing. Having succeeded in returning the intestines, ho bandaged up the wounds, and attended deceased inces santly, but he gradually sank and died of the wounds on the following morning. In answer to the coroner and jury, Mr. Luke said deceased was sensible and admitted he had committed the act himself, adding that he found every one was against him. The coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the extra ordinary and desperate character of the suicide, but added that no doubt the deceased's mind was not right when he committed so dreadful an act. _ _ The Foreman of the jury said he thought they ought to append to their verdict some remarks about the course pur sued by the Midland Railway Company being the inducin g cause of deceased committing the act. There was the most painful feeling throughout the neighbourhood at the treat ment which poor tradesmen, who unfortunately did not happen to have leases, were receiving by wholesale, in. being turned out of their premises without compensation. The jury having acquiesced, ultimately returned a ver lpany.,i dint, " That the d eceased, William Gull ett, committed su i c id e whilst in an unsound state of mind, by s t a bbi ng hi mse lf with a fish knife ; but the jury are of op i n i on that with out was com p i:u sa c t e i d on to b t y he th c e om m mis idia s u io d n utilw of the ay act by receiving Company." no tice of being about to be turn e d out of his premises with- Bank of England Return,•--Last Evening.
