The bills which were kept in reserve in anticipa tion of a reduction in the Bank rate are being brought forward for negotiation, but the demand for accommodation, despite this increase in the supply of commercial paper, is not very active. The floating capital continues abundant, and the brokers take the best short-dated acceptances at 3i and 4 per cent.

With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. There was a fair demand for most qualities, at fat currcncies. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at quito late rates. Fine barley ruled firm, and prices were rather on the advance. Inferior qualities met a slow sale, at late prices. Malt was steady, at full quotations. Oats were in moderate supply, and the trade ruled firm , at full currencies. Beans and peas were firm, at quite late rates. Flour fully supported Monday's quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The Journal des Debats of yesterday says : " The provincial deputations of Spain have just been dissolved, and the municipal councils are to be entirely re newed, although, according to the terms of the law, the renewal ought to be but partial. But the Government has taken upon itself to order otherwise, subject to the ulterior ratifications of the Chambers, for the unanswer able reason that the present composition of the municipal councils is displeasing to it. They were elected at a period when Liberal ideas still possessed some influence ; but in the present state of public opinion this influence, in the language of the report presented to the Queen, ' has booome quite intolerable.' What is now wanted are municipal councillors endowed with the ' habit of discipline,' and in no way disposed to exaggerate the importance of their humble functions. Modest mon may certainly bo found, but as, after all, ono cannot be certain of anything, and as the strongest heads may be affected by pride, it is intended to restrict by a law the functions of the municipal councils and of the provincial deputations. The Government announced that it would forthwith adopt new measures for replacing society upon its proper bases. The law in question is probably one of those measures, and we see, moreover, that, if it has seriously set about saving society, it does not falter in the task. Tronsportation continues without intermission. Fernando Po receives daily fresh exiles, who are sent there to perish from yellow fever ; the prisons are overflowing with ruined persons, who are kept in imprisonment without reason being assigned, and if absolutely every one is not arrested—if there still re mains some inhabitants of Madrid at liberty, the reason is that the prisons are full, and that there is no room for other victims. But from time to time vacancies do occur, which are soon supplied. It is, therefore, only a matter of patience, and the turn of all will come. The Narvaez Cabinet re-establishes public tranquillity and consolidates order in Spain nearly after the fashion of the Russians in the kingdom of Poland." ?REFERENCE SHARES. Great Eastern, E.

MANSION-HOUSE, STEALING A Box OF RAISINFL—CharIes Boyce, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with having a box of raisins in his possession unlawfully. Samuel Hambrow said he was an officer employed at the Fresh Wharf, and yesterday about 2 in the afternoon he was called into one of the warehouses on the wharf to take charge of a p^rson who was aeeused of attempting to steal a box of raisins. Ho saw the prisoner and the box of raisins, which the prisoner said he was told by somebody to carry to Mr. Leask, the broker. He knew the prisoner as being occasionally employed at the wharf, and he was working there yesterday. It was also proved in evidence that if the prisoner's statement were true, the name of Mr. Leask would be written on the side of the box and a book given him with it, which was not the case. The prisoner said that he was drunk, and denied that ho had any felonious intention, and stated further, that if he had not been interrupted he would have delivered the box at Mr. Leask's. A previous conviction for theft was proved against the prisoner, and he was sentenced to two months' hard labour. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Josoph Morris was charged with embezzling divers sums of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Groucutt and Co., iron and coal dealers at Bilston, Staffordshire. Mr. Beard, solicitor, said he was instructed by the pro secutors to appear on their behalf in this case. The pri soner had been in the employment of the company for 12 years, and had been specially employed by Mr. Daniel Groucutt for the last 15 years. He was charged with em bezzling different sums of money, amounting to £ll7, but only ono case would be proceeded with to-day, so that he must ask for a remand. William Mice said that he was in the employ of Mr. Thomas Porter, an iron dealer, carrying on business at South Moulton, who was a customer of Mr. Groucutt, and on the 15th July last he paid him a cheque for £37 19s. 6d. The cheque produced was the one he gave prisoner, and it was endorsed "Joseph Morris." Mr. Daniel Groucutt said that the prisoner was em ployed amongst other duties in collecting money in London, and he was instructed to pay all accounts he received into a London bank to the credit of the company, whether in cash or in cheques. He had an account with Mr. Potter in Juno last, and he had not received either cheque or money for that amount. The last time he heard from the prisoner was on, the 26th July, and he came to London on the 4th of August, when he found he had absconded. He had received the letter produced from the prisoner through his wife. (Here the letter was read, and it contained an admission of the prisoner's guilt, together with an expression of the greatest pain and sorrow for having abused the kindness and con fidence with which ho had been invariably treated by the witness while in his employ. lie attributed his offence to a temporary hallucination produced by distress of mind caused by pecuniary losses arising from spaculationa.) The prisoner, who had £5 ss. a week, had done something two years ago, which the witness had overlooked. It further appeared that the prisoner was traced to a lodging-house in the neighbourhood of Bedford-square, where he was living under the name of Scott, and that ho was apprehended iu the City yesterday. Oa being told by the officer that ho had a warrant against him for embezzlement, ho did not deny the charge, and admitted that his name was Joseph Morris. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was re manded till Thursday next. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railways.

The Nord of yesterday has the following remarks upon the fetes which recently took place in Bel gium : " The fetes which have just taken place in Brus sels will have a European recognition. They will induce useful reflections, an d s trengthen still more the bonds of sympathy and respect which unite all civilised nations with the Belgian people. If indeed there is a spectacle deserving of envy, well calculated to stimulate the noblest instincts, it is that afforded every year by this fine little country of 'Belgium cele brating always with the same enthusiasm its inde pendence, its institutions, its King, its dynasty, and spending in these pacific and thoroughly national fetes what other nations see squandered in arma ments and war expenses. We who for ten years have taken part as impartial though sympathetic spectators in these noble jousts of patriotism, civic virtue, and monarchical sentiments, never see with out ardent pleasure this example of pacific tasks, remarkable prosperity, order and cairn, given annu ally to other nations by the freest nation in the world. A country may therefore be free, very free, even without revolution. It may exercise this liberty without disorder, and preserve it intact while remaining faithful to its King, its princes, and its laws. This political and social problem, the cause of so much criminal aberration among the governed, of so much fatal error among the governing, is solved, and solved to the advan - tage of both. Is there, in fact, in Europe at this moment a more prosperous or happier people than the Belgian people, a sovereign more loved, more respected than Leopold 11. ? This year especi ally the solemnity of which we are speaking has had a special significance. In the first place, it succeeded to a period of profound mourning for Belgium and its royal house, and was the date consequently of a new era. For the first time it no longer took place under the auspices of the venerable sovereign for whom the commemoration of this national indepen dence, of which he was the first and most useful sup port, wasin some measure apersonal fete. With what sombre predictions, it will be remembered, had not the hostile spirit of some, and the faltering of others, long before surrounded this sad and yet inevitable even tuality. The personification, the support of Belgian independence once dead, Belgium was no longer to exist ; its neighbours would divide it, and the heir to the throne no longer finding in the country the sympathies that had sustained his father in moments of difficulty, would look on powerless at this general break up, induced by the discord of parties. We shall not be accused of exaggerating one part of the picture at the expense of the other. All those who will read us in Belgium know whether, some tine before the death of Leopold I. these sinister ru mours, propagated by malevolence, did not circu late as confused apprehensions among the public. 'What came of them is well known. The fatal moment arrived. Instead of being invaded, Belgium was saluted by all the nations of Europe, happy to be able on this sad occasion, to express to her, as well as to her new sovereign, their sentiments of sincere sympathy. Left alone in presence of her prince, and free from all other anxiety, Belgium could then recognise in him all the qualities of wisdom and political intelligence, so necessary even to a constitutional monarch, that Leopold 11. had acquired in the school of his predecessor, and which, by a sentiment of filial deference, he had constantly kept in the background during all his father's reign, only allowing them to be divined by some few who were intimate with him. Thus were people and sovereign enabled in a single day to know and esteem each other, and thus was concluded between them that moral and solemn compact which de fies present snares, if any there are, and averts the dangers of the future. The cause of this happy change, the spring of this common movement, the secret of this sudden consolidation of power, follow ing upon a period of anxious uncertainty, 'are all contained in these words—national sentiment. No where, perhaps, and at no other period of the poli tical life of Belgium, was this sentiment so earnestly manifested as at the death of Leopold 1., doubtless because it had never felt itself so seriously menaced. It was therefore on the occasion of the national fetes that the Belgian people could for the first time since the new reign expr ess b e f or e Europe all their legi timate satisfaction an d th e i r joy. It was also the first time since the new re i g n that the neighbours of Belgium had the opp or t un ity of solemnly showing their profound respect for its independence, and of resolutely protesting against numerous and recent imputations. AUSTRIAN POLITENESS. -- When criticising na tional manners a foreigner must not generalise from the politeness or rudeness which.he himself may receive, but notice the behaviour of the natives to each other. Who ever watches the Austrians, without losing sight of this precaution, will discover, firstly, that they are guided by a positive code of civility, whose tacit prescriptions are as accurately followed as if some Menu or Solon of manners had written them on tables. The first Commandment for bids inequalities of politeness. There must be degrees in intimacy, but there can I>e no degrees in the outer forms of courtesy and homage. In conversation with au obscure and uninteresting person the Austrian wAI take as much pains to please as when great social or sentimental interests aro at stake. The small coin of customary salutations, as expressions of respect, obeisances, apologies for accidental pressure in crowded rooms, and the like, is rigorously ex acted and always paid. When an introduction occurs the parties concerned are willing to listen and look, instead of betraying visible repugnance to the operation, or trying to catch the eye of a friend across the room, or perhaps in London fashion making a sudden wheel and marching off before two phrases have been exchanged. The general tone of manners, particularly with the men, is soft, and might be called too silken by the admirers of the boisterous and categorical method of our own rising generation. There may even be noticed an occasional deficiency in what Swift called " the art of making every reasonable person in the company easy, a nd being easy ourselves." flow ever, seeing that what looks like timidity is often dulness or arrogance, and that most Austrians are either Boeotian or proud, it is curious that shy individuals should be so comparatively rare.—" Good Society in Vienna," in the Cornhill Magazine for November. TRADES' REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—Last night delegates from about 120 of the trades and friendly socie ties of the metropolis assembled at the Whittington Club, Strand, for the purpose of deciding on the time and place for holding the proposed trades' demonstration. Mr. Geo. Potter occupied the chair, and having opened the business of the meeting, the secretary of the Working Men's Asso ciation, under whose auspices the meeting is to be held, read a report from the committee of that body detailing the progress made in the movement, which showed that the proposed demonstration had been taken up by the leading trades of the metropolis. The following resolution was adopted :—'• That the demonstration of the London trades and friendly societies in favour of manhood suffrage and the ballot take place on Monday, the 3d of December next, and that the societies walk in procession to the place of meeting." It was also resolved :—" That the demonstra tion take place in the Ashburnham Grounds, Cremorne." A demonstration committee of 30 delegates was then ap pointed, and a finance committee of five delegates. Reso lutions were also agreed to inviting Mr. Beales and the executive council of the League to attend the demonstra tion as a deputation from the League, and also inviting deputations from the various trades' councils and leading trades in the provinces. It was also resolved that Mr. Bright, M.P., and the metropolitan members be invited to attend the meeting. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING MARKED MONEY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S. —George Williams, a boy in the employ of Mr. George Cotton, of the New Chesterfield Arms, Chapel-street West, Mayfair, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with robbing his employer. Mr. Cotton said that having missed money from his till, and having a suspicion of tho prisoner, who was his pot boy, he marked the money he left in the till last night. That morning, while in the kitchen for a minute or two, he heard the clinking of money, and on going to the till missed lls. Gd. He accused the prisoner of robbing him, but ho denied doing so. After a short time the prisoner took from his pocket lls. Gd. of the marked money, and on asking him to give up what he had taken the previous morning, the prisoner went upstairs and fetched 7s. Gd. and handed it to him, the 7s. Gd. having been taken by the prisoner from the till, while his (the prosecutes) daughter was in the bar parlour. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said he took the prisoner into his employ on the recommendation of a cus . - tomer, a respectable man, who said the prisoner was a good boy. Police-constable Coulson, 216 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he admitted taking money from the till twice, but said he had never done so before. Mr. Knox having ascertained that neither of the boy's parents was in attendance, said he should not think of dealing with the case in their absence, and remanded the prisoner. THAMES. AN AMERICAN ON ins TRAVELS.—WiIIiam Turner, a well-dressed youth of 16, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 101 d., the money of James Emms. The prosecutor, a labourer, was sleeping in a room in the Sun Coffee-house last night. It is a common lodging house, and well regulated. The beds are separated from each other by wooden partitions. The prisoner was sleep• ing in a bed next to the prosecutor. This morning, while Emms was lying on his bed, awake, he saw a hand and arm reach over the wooden partition, take up his waist coat, and abstract 6d. and 4}d. from his pocket. Emms sprung from his bed and seized the hand which contained the money. It was the prisoner's hand, and Emms took his money from it. The prisoner was given into custody, and ho said to Brown, 94 II "That is all I have taken." The prisoner elected to be tried by a magistrate. He was in possession of a purse containing 2s. and a carpet bag pretty well stocked with shirts and clothes, two small books, and a pamphlet. lie said, in answer to the magis trate, that his home was in America. He was now on his travels. He came hero to see the country. He had no other business hero. He had only boon in England a fort- night. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Elizaboth Dowsett, aged 46, a charwoman, of No. 29, Denmark-terrace, East Ham, Essex, was charged with stealing £9 Gs. in gold and silver, a fall, two pairs of kid gloves, two pairs of silk stockings, a pair of mohair stockings, a flannel petticoat, and other articles, the monies -and property of Mr. John Clarke, a gentleman residing at No. 95, Camberwell-road, Bow. The prisoner was charing at Mr. Clarke's house on Saturday last, and she prepared the Sunday's dinner and purchased some grocery for Mrs. Clark. The prisoner slept on a couch in the bed room occupied by two boys on Saturday night. At 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the prisoner was missing, the front door was open, and the back door unbolted. There' was no reason to suppose that any person had entered the house from without. None of the family had been disturbed. In the course of the night Mrs. Clark missed her purse, contain ing 165., from her dress pocket, and £1 10s. in gold, £1 in silver, and the articles above mentioned had been stolen from a wardrobe and from drawers. The wardrobes and drawers were closed on . Saturday night. They were open on Sunday morning. Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Clark missed their money and property one of their boys was despatched to East Ham with directions to ask the prisoner for Mrs. Clark's purse. The boy said "Please Mrs. Dowsett mother has missed her purse ; have you soon it." The prisoner said "Yes; Mary Ann was just coming up with it." The prisoner sent her daughter with the purse to Mr. Clarke's dwelling. Nothing was then said about the loss of £1 10s. in gold, £4 in silver, and other articles. The case was put into the hands of the police, and Sergeant Ripp, 5 H, arrested the prisoner, and, when he did so was threatened by the prisoner's husband with personal violence. None of the property was traced to the prisoner, and the only circumstance of suspicion besides the possession of the purse was that one of the boys saw the prisoner with his mother's dress after Mr. and Mrs. Clarke had gone to bed. The prisoner loudly protested her innocence, and ac cused Mrs. Clarke of being an u*truthful and drunken wo man, which was denied on the other side. Mr. Paget considered there was no case against the pri soner, and discharged her. COMMUNICATION WITH THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.—The report of a meeting held at the London Tavern, on Tuesday, in reference to the project of Captain for the formation of a junction railway through lands in Nicaragua, should have been headed "The International Atlantic and Pacific Jnaction Railway and Land Company (Limited) through Nicaragua." [ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills. — Palpitation, Shortness of Breath, Dropsy.--The last-named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart and difficult respiration, which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure be resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled ointment and pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick, and perseverance in the steady appli cation of this noble ointment invariably results in a lasting and satisfactory cure.

Red Earl (engaged in Liverpol Cup) is an absentee; and Harry Brailsford too. RICHMOND. Our trainers are away at Newmarket, but expected homo to-morrow. This morning Plaudit and Rose were trotting, having bean in physic. Roderick Random did not show being lame, therefore ho won't accept for Liver pool. Nothing More galloped a mile and a half, as did Raunds and Bob Chambers. Grasiosa and Monolith went a mile and a quarter, and Minnetto, Podargus, Sugah Doolab, Bumble Kite, and Lady Dora colt about a mile, WOODYEATES. William Day is still at Newmarket with Scarborugb, Cranford, and a few others, but returns homa to-morrow. In the meantime, however, the horses that are left here, continue in good work, particularly the Special and Mail Train, who are well in for the Liverpool Autumn Cup, and whichever is wanted for that event of this couplet is bound to win. Both are very fit. The yearlings are get ting on first class. Scarborough, Crawford, and Queen Mary, engaged at Lincoln, are quite ripe, but the first mentioned will not be required yet. MALTON. Treasure Trove, Skylark, and Mushroom are doing plenty of work for Lincoln and Liverpool, but wo have nothing for the Worcester big handicap, The three horses named each galloped over a mile and three-quarters this morning. The Lion is in preparation for the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Westwick may accept for that event, but War won't, as he is turned out, Brown Bread continues so infirm. Highway Robbery at King's Cross. row. .1 • g A e d t the O w l e h r o k o d n e w s c e r l i l b P e d o li h c i e m - c s o e u l f r t y s e n s t r r a d v a e G r, e o h r a g N e il 3 ilsg ia i n n ro , a fixed place of abode, and William White , a g ed 37, a polhe of Liverpool-road, Islington, were c har g ed, before Mr. the Bar ker, with feloniously assaulting and ste alin g from per son of Mr. James Thomas Swallow , a uctioneer and toy and fancy dealer, of Market-place, Peterborough, a purse con taining £2B 10s., his property, at King's-cross. Mr. Nutt, solicitor, of Fenchurch-street, City, prosecuted. The prosecutor, who was so ill and weak from the effects of the prisoners' violence that he had to be accommodated with a seat, said—l am an auctioneer, and carry on business at Market-place, Peterborough. I came to London on Tues day afternoon on business, and last evening went to King's cross rail way station for the purpose of returning home, and had placed my bag and overcoat in the carriage. I had about half an hour to wait before the train started, and I went out of the station for.the purpose of smoking. 1 went to the " Victoria" Tavern and had a glass of pale ale. I went to the cab entrance of the station, and when I was speaking to the porter a female came up, and having over heard what I was saying to the porter, she said, "Are you going to Glasgow ?" I said, " No ; lam going by the Edin burgh mail." She said, "I am from Glasgow; I should like to go there ;" and I said, "Youhad bettergo," and I walked on to the other side of the road, to where some buildings are being pulled down. I was just in the act of crossing the road when the same woman came up and said, "I should like to go to Glasgow," when I said, "Go away, woman d• i't bother me." The very moment I said that the two pri soners came up, and White said, "Do you know where Mr. Johnson lives about here ?" I said, " No, I am an entire stranger;" and then he struck me with an umbrella he had in his right hand:on the right side of the face and head. Then the prisoner Main came up, and I received another blow on the left side of the face, but from whom I cannot say. There was no one there but the two prisoners and the female, and I got the blow from one of the three, who were in a cluster. The second blow hurt me very much and knocked me down, and whilst I was on the ground I felt for my money which I had had a minute orso before, and I found it was gone. Whilst I was down, I said "You vagabonds, I have lost my purse ; you have robbed me. And then White said, " Oh, no, nothing of the sort ; nonsense." I said, " You have," and he laid bold of me and tried to prevent me getting up; I pushed him on one side, seeing the other prisuner and the woman running away, and he tried to trip me up, but he did not. I caught the woman and held her and said, " You or tho men have robbed me—one of the three have." Upon that I received a blow from some one, but I eannot say from whom. That blow took my senses away, and when Ira covered the man and the woman were gone. The policete . came up, and as I was speaking to them I saw W hite o other side of the road, and I said, "That is the 7:1:1, that knocked me down first." As soon as the police seized __l . ll i" . ?, the prisoner Main, who was standing closehbeayr,dla_ iniffspeaki did not recognise Mainat first, but when I ho b was the man, at the police station I was certain that ho missed from though I did not say he knocked me my pocket £2B 10s.

The mon ran different ways, and the woman walked up Ed ward-street, the same way as I came out. 1 thought it was a strange affair, and the prosecutor came up and said, " The villians have robbed me." I said, " It is a pity you did not call for the police or for assistance, as then the thieves would have been stopped." The 'prose cutor then crossed to speak to a police-sergeant, and whilst speaking to him he said, "What is that ?" point ing to White, who was on the opposite side of the road, and then gave White into custody. When they took him the prisoner Main came up, and the prosecutor said, " I think that is the other man," on which Main attempted to walk off, but the constable stopped him. I am sure of the -- - prisoner White, because I saw his face as he ran past me. He was wearing a white hat. I did not see Main's face, but to the best of my belief he is the man. Police-Sergeant Geo. Parry, 14 Y, said-1 waspassing ul) the St. Pancras-road about 9 o ' c l oc k last night when I saw the prosecutor leaning against a hoarding very much ex hausted. I asked him what was th e ma tt er. He said he had been knocked down and robbed. H e gave me a de scription of the persons, and whilst he was doing so I saw both the prisoners coming close together down the St. Pan cras-road. I called his attention to them, saying " Th ere is a man with a white hat," and I went across and seized \Vhite. I did not speak to him nor heard any one, when he said " I did not rob the gentleman. 1 hay. cow° to seo a friend off by the train." At that time the prosecutor came up. A mob collected, and the other prisoner was standing abut two yards from run looking on like the other bystanders. The prosecutor looked round and said "There is the other man that robbed me," and thou immediately made off, pursued by police-constable Wood- I searched White, who had an umbrella in l.is pos- session. 11. L in—l saw you and White coming down the st.. Pancras-road together, and I had seen you together about a quarter of au hour before that. You did not run away, but you walked very hurriedly. Mr. Alexander (clerk)—Do you wish to ask the sergeant any more questions ? The prisoner—No. I have nothing further to "axe" him for he is not telling the truth. Inspector Fraser, Y division, who watched the ease on behalf of the Commissioners of Police, said that both the prisoners were known as companions. Police-sergeant Cook, 8 Y, said that White was a ticket of-leave man, and his sentence would not expire until Christmas next. Mr. Barker committed the prisoners to the Central Cri minal Court for trial. THIRD EDITION . SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. NEWMARKET RACES—Tars D.T. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

The excavation openings inn.s w terminates i,cb altreone ofoundf in every Fogou yet known. On the left-hand side close .by this door a very small, narrow passage through which It is as much as a middle-sized man can do to creep, leads into a low, arched chamber, cut out of the country, and which was never either faced or roofed. This chamber was about 15 feet long, 12 broad, circular (or rather elliptic), and perhaps 31, to 4 feet high. There is every ap pearance of the continuation of the cave beyond the door way; and arrangements have been made for following it up in the course of the next week or ten days. It is supposed that the work will be done by the Society of Antiquaries, or elso by the Local Society. A spear-head tnd some pottery, found in the excavations, have already been secured. There seems little doubt that the fogGu was either within or immediately outside the old British fort at Treveneage Bekkan, which formerly protected the tinworks and smelting-houses, of which traces exist in the valley below, but which fort some ruthless improvir of his estate destroyed long before the present enlightened era. —Cornish Telegraph. an tvi all ; bto o 9 31 77,:, 13i 911 }
