MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present little alteration of importance. There is more money on offer, but capitalists are still reluctant to take bills under the official minimum, except in cases where the paper has a short time to run, and is of a first class character. The share list of the Bank of Turkey closed yes terday evening, and it is understood that the appli cations are numerous. The Continental subscrip tion remains open till Saturday next. Mr. Thomas Gooch, of the firm of Gooch and Cousens, has been elected director of the Bank of London, in the room of his father, lately deceased ; and Mr. Falconer Larkworthy, managing director of the Bank of New Zealand, has also been elected to fill the vacancy in the board caused by the re tirement of Mr. J. E. Anderdon. It is notified that the certificates of the 'shares of the new issue of the Credit Foncier . and Mobilier of England can now be obtained at the Company's offices in exchange for the letters of allotment and banker's receipt. Reuter's Telegram Company have given notice that they have opened a branch office at Alex andria (Egypt). There was a withdrawal from the Bank yesterday of £78,000 in bar gold. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 45c. When the markets closed yesterday afternoon most of the Stock Exchange securities exhibited de pression. Consols were 4 per Cent. lower, and to-day there is a recovery of *, the latest prices being 891 for transfer, and less the dividend, 87i 88, for the Bth proximo. There has not been mucli animation, the attention of the members and their clients being principally directed to the settlement of the account in Foreign Bonds and all descriptions of Railway Shares. They are especially busy with some of the miscellaneous descriptions, in which during the fort night large transactions have been entered into; the results on the whole are likely to prove satisfactory. In the absence of dealings, Exchequer Bills are at nominal prices, and the same remark is applicable to Indian Government Securities, the only bargain at present recorded being in the 5 per Cents., at 105 show ing firmness. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are marked a little flatter. In the Foreign Stock department quotations have continued steady. Turkish Consolides are 48 i; Mexican, 25f k ; ditto, New, 248 f ; Greek, 17 k ; Spanish Passive, 281 29; the Certificates, 158 f ; Italian, 638 648 ; the Confederate Loan, 8 10 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 2k 4 prem.

London and country at 79i ; Oriental Bank at 51 International Financial at 6 I and Overend, Gur ney, and Co. at 22 Bank of Turkey shares are quoted 2/ prem. ; Public Works Company at 4 41 prem. ; the Anglo-Swedish Steel and Iron Company, 21 3 prem. The Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England (old) shares, 4/ 4I prem. ex all ; and the new issue, 4i 41 prem. ; the St. Saviour's Wharf Company (Limited) shares, 1 11 prem. ; the American Oil Wells Trading Company, 21 21 prem. American Securities have indicated firmness. United States Government 5-20 Bonds are 641 Erie shares, 574 s ; and Illinois, 831 k. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, the dealers and speculators having been engaged with the settlement of the account. Prices generally are firm, and North Western have im proved 55., Great Eastern, Lancashire and York shire, and North British, each 10s., and Metropoli tan, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines are also a shade firmer. Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced to 30,/, and Great Indian Peninsula to 105. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 8 per Cent.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE HENRI DRAYTON. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHARE MARKETS,—This Day. I LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day• COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. CORBETT -THE SHENANDOAH. This was an indictment preferred by the Crown against the defendant, the master of the Sea King (s), afterwards called the Shenandoah, Confederate schooner, for a breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act, in causing the vessel to be sold to the Confederate States of America, and inducing men to serve on board the ship in hostilities against the Federal States of America, with whom her Majesty the Queen was on terms of peace. The Solicitor-General stated the case for the prosecu tion. The Sea King shipped a crew in London for a voyage to Bombay, and on clearing the Channel she shaped her course for Madeira, and there met the Laurel steamer. Both ships proceeded to the Desertas Islands, where the Sea King received her guns and ammunition from the Laurel, and it was alleged that the defendant fdideavourecl to persuade some of the hands to serve on board the Sea King, which was afterwards called the Shenan doah, which wao to be employed as a Confederate schooner. The learned gentleman then proceeded to detail the facts of the case, and called several witnesses who swore that the defendant advised them to join the Shenandoah and the Confederate service, which would prove highly advantageous to them. The men were narrowly cross examined by Mr. E. James in order to show that it was the Confederate captain of the Laurel and not Corbett who advised the men to join the ship which was to act against merchant men, and not to take part in any fighting. The case wilt not conclude to-day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordina] y and a Special Jury.) MILNE V. MILNE. This was a suit instituted by Ada Caroline Milne for judicial separation from her husband, on the ground of cruelty. The Queen's Advocate, Mr. Karslake, and Dr. Wamby, appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the respondent. In opening the case, the Queen's:Advocate said—The par ties to this cause were married in the month of March, 1864, and the cohabitation continued about seven months. The petitioner was a lady of fortune, and, previous to her marriage, the daughter of a widow named Liebert, resident in Warwickshire, the respondent being the son of a solici tor in Manckester. The parties had formed an attachment when the petitioner was only 18 years of age ; and the father of the respondent being averse to the match, he (re spondent) went to sea, and remained absent for four or five years. On his return he again sought out the lady, and after some time renewed his suit and met with success, for the parties were eventually married, the lady having a fortune of- £14,000. The respon dent was of an idle disposition, and after the marriage they went to reside at Folkestone, and from' thence they went to Paris, where the respondent followed his own in clinations and desires, without the slightest regard to the feelings of his wife, who was then in a very delicate state of health, and required more than ordinary care and attention. On the lady somewhat recovering her health they returned to England, and went for some time to the house of the respondent's father, at Blackpool, in Lancashire. The conduct of the petitioner became harsh and careless, and the cruelty was continued in vari ous ways, until at length he actually horsewhipped his wife in the public road, and was guilty of such other acts that the lady had no alternative but to seek the protection of the Court, and pray for a dissolution of her marriage. Evidence having been given to prove the marriage, Thomas Howsman said he was a farmer, living at Black pool, and in August, 1864, he and two of his friends were engaged haymaking in a field near the high road. They heard the screams of a female, and on leaving the field in which they were occupied and coming to the road they saw a phaeton, the door of which was open, and the legs of a lady were hanging out. They afterwards became aware that she was trying to get out, in which she ultimately succeeded, and then the respondent, who was in the phaeton, drove after her and seizing the carriage whip lashed her with it very violently. She got over the fencing out of his reach, and positively refused to enter the vehicle again, upon which the respondent drove away. He followed the lady to Blackpool, and then identified her as the person he had seen horsewhipped. Mr. Milne's maid proved some other acts of violence and ill-treatment at Blackpool. Mrs. Milne, the petitioner, was then called, and repeated in evidence the facts spoken to by her counsel in his open ing speech. She said she had suffered very severely in health from the cruelty and violence of her husband, and that after the violent assault she suffered from the hands of her husband, on the occasion of his horsewhipping her in the public road, ,she separated from him, and had not since cohabited with him. Mr. Coleridge, for the respondent, said that, owing to the interference of some mutual friends, he was happy to say that an arrangement had been come to, which would render further occupation of the time of the court unne cessary, and all further opposition to the prayer of the petitioner would be withdrawn. He hoped his lordship would consent to the case terminating on these grounds. The Judge Ordinary said he thought it was a judicious course to pursue, especially when it would prevent the parties to the suit being brought again in contact, even for a short time, in that court, which could only be pro ductive of painful feelings on both sides. He also thought that it was exceedingly wise to prove just enough to bear out the allegations in the petition without, as in many instances was the case in that Court, going at length into a variety of matters that only elaborated whilst strengthening the case. They heard it as evidence that the respondent had threatened his wife with violence, and that on one occasion he had been guilty of the unmanly and cowardly conduct of seizing the carriage whip and beating his wife in the public road. The jury, however, would say what they thought of the matter. A verdict that the respondent had treated his wife with cruelty was unanimously returned, and The Court gave a decree nisi. O'BIALL.EY IRWIN V. SIR G. GREY-PETITION OP RIGHT. The Judges, sitting in Error, this morning hoard the ar guments'in this case, which were supported by the peti tioner in person. The court decided against the plaintiff, and affirmed the judgment in the former trial. street, Southwark, and his clothes were so old and dirty that he could not obtain work anywhere. All the pri soners (viva voce) said they would work if any one would employ them. This bankrupt, who is the celebrated baritone, was de scribed as a vocalist, of 41, Great Ormond-street, Blooms bury, and to-day he came up to pass his last examination and for the order of discharge. The accounts show debts £555, with a deficiency of £385. The detailed accounts have already been published, together with the causes of the failure, and, in the absence of opposition, it was under stood that the order would be granted. Wedding, the superintendent of labour in the Ratcliff poor-house, said the prisoners had a bath, a loaf of bread each for supper, a basin of gruel this morning, and a bed, and the return they made for this hospitality was to tear up their clothes and put the ratepayers to the expense of canvas suits. Mr. Paget said the offence had become so common that he should visit all these cases with severity. The humanity of the Legislature had compelled the parochial authorities to provide casual wards for the houseless poor, that no one should perish in the streets, and the boon should be re ceived with gratitude by the class for whom it was pro vided. He could not look upon the prisoners offence lightly. He sentenced them each to be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour. ASSAULT AT SEA.-Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Hodgson, solicitor, came before Mr. Paget, at twelve o'clock, and said he was instructed to offer bail for Captain Henry Holvine, the master of the ship Ellen Constance, lying in the Victoria Dock, who was charged with assaulting John Williams, late steward of the vessel, and putting him in irons three times at sea. Mr. Paget said that Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, was engaged in copying the minutes of evidence taken yester day, and the case could not be heard until they were finished. Inquiries must be made as to the sufficiency of the bail. He should require two substantial house holders in £250 each, to become surety for the prisoners appearance at the sessions. Mr. Gomm handed to the magistrate the names of the proposed sureties, and Howland, 89 H, an officer of the court, was deputed to make inquiries. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.) In the week that ended on Saturday, Nov. 25, the births registered in London and ten other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3,839 ; the deaths registered, 3,149. The annual rate of mor tality was 29 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 957 boys and 969 girls, in all 1,926 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number, corrected for increase of popu lation, was 1,958. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE OUTCASTS IN HYDE-PARK —Maria Costin, Sarah Waring, Louisa Stebbings, and Amelia Triggers, young women, described as having "no homes," were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being found in the cleaning shed of the Magazine Barracks, Hyde-park, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony. When the prisoners were searched at the station all the property found upon them was four combs and two six pences. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,471. It was the 47th week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,564. The actual number is less than the estimated mortality by 93. There were 13 deaths from small-pox. The regis trar of Spitalfields returns two deaths from that dis ease; and the medical attendant of one of these cases, which occurred at 10, King-street, reports that the disease prevails exceedingly in the neighbourhood. The mortality from diarrhon continues slowly to decrease. The deaths from it in the last three weeks were 37, 32, and 28. No deaths were referred to cholera. Typhus has increased, and the deaths from it last week rose to 81. The widow of a farmer is stated to have died on the 19th inst. in Plough-lane, Battersea, at the age of 100 years. The following five fatal cases of horse and car riage accidents were registered in the week :—At Hyde-park a medical practitioner, aged 69, knocked down by a Hansom cab ; died on Nov. 14 in St. George's Hospital. On Holborn-hill, the wife of a wood sawyer, aged 38, injured by a an wheel; died on Nov. 14 in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The son of a foreman at iron works, aged 13, run over ; died on Nov. 13 at 15, Ferry-street, Poplar. A shoe - maker, aged 85, run over by an omnibus ; died on Nov. 16 in University College Hospital. A cab man, aged 33, rupture of liver by a fall from a cab whilst drunk; died on Nov. 20 in University Col lege Hospital. Colour-sergeant Garton, of the Grenadier Guards, said that about one o'clock that morning he went into the clean ing shed of the Magazine Barracks, and found the four prisoners there—three asleep under the table, and one in the corner of the room. They said they had get into the room out of the wet. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the sergeant said that wome times there were articles of clothing in the place, but at present only gas pipes were deposited there. The pri soners must have got in through the windows. Costin said she had nowhere to go, and was obliged to get out of the wet. Park-constable Lippett, No. 31, said he was called to the barracks, and the prisoners given into his custody, and he took them to the station. in reply to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said that three of the prisoners had been about the park for some time for the purpose of prostitution. He had taken Triggers to the workhouse twice, and yesterday morning, seeing her under a tree soaking wet, he asked her to go to the workhouse, but she would not. The annual rate of mortality last week was 25 per 1,000 in London, 35 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dublin ; 41 in Liverpool, 41 in Manchester, 40 in Salford, 22 in Birmingham, 28 in Leeds, 28 in Bris tol, 28 in Hull, and 33 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 25 per 1,000 during the week ending the 18th inst., when the temperature was 10.3 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 26 per 1,000. In Liverpool the births in the week were 353, the deaths 374 ; in Manchester the births 204, the deaths 278 ; in Salford the births 88, the deaths 84 ; in Birmingham the births 235, the deaths 139 ; in Leeds the births 250, the deaths 121 ; in Bristol the births 101, the deaths 87 ; in Hull the births 69, the deaths 56 ; in Edinburgh the births 127, the deaths 118 ; in Glasgow the births 333, the deaths 267 ; and in Dublin the births 153, the deaths 154. There were 268 deaths in Vienna dur ing the week ending the 18th inst. SOUTHADIPTON.—Among the population of this borough (estimated to the middle of the present year at 53,001) 27 deaths were registered during the week ending last Saturday ; of these 4 were again referred to scarlatina ; no death resulted from cholera. The annual rate of mortality during the week was 27 per 1,000 persons living. MANCHESTER.—The high rates of mortality which have occurred in the city of Manchester and borough of Salford during the last few weeks have been caused by an epidemic of typhus and typhoid fever, which has been fatal there, especially in the work houses. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that why the prisoners were not in a workhouse no human being but themselves could tell. There was no necessity whatever for their being about the park, especially during such weather as the present. It was shown that Triggers, when she was admitted, would not stop. Had they been refused admission he (Mr. Tyr whitt) would have interfered, but that did not appear tobe the case. The prisoners had no right to be where they were found, but he did not believe they had any intention of committing a felony, and should therefore discharge them. If, however, they were brought before him as dis orderly prostitutes, they would be committed for a month each. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.257 in The barometer pressure was 29.99 in. on the morn ing of Sunday, and fell to 28.82 in. on Wednesday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 50.6 deg., which is 9.3 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average every day, and the excess was always 9 deg., or near that amount. The diurnal range was also remarkably uniform, but it differed little from 10 deg. throughout the week. The difference be tween the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3.8 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 87, complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind blew from S.W. and S.S.W. ; on Saturday it changed to S.S.E. It blew occasionally in heavy squalls. The amount of rain was 0.98 in., most of which fell on the first four days. The barometer at Liverpool fell to 28.31 in. at 11h. 30m. a.m. on Wednesday. With the exception of the water supplied by the Lambeth Company all the waters exhibited this month a marked increase in the total amount of solid impurity. The organic and other volatile matters and the amount of oxygen required for the oxidation of the organic matter have increased in a still more striking manner in the case of the waters of the East London and of those companies which draw their supplies from the Thames. The quantity of oxygen required to oxidise the organic matter varies from twice up to four times the amount re quired in October. The waters of the Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, and East London Companies were turbid when drawn from the companies' mains. niE SRN', LONDON: WEDNESDAYrEVENING,' NOVEMBER 29, lEEE. Dr. Underhill on Jamaica. At a meeting held on Monday night in the Bap tist Chapel, Maidstone, Dr. Underhill delivered an address on the subject of Jamaica, in which he en tered at length into the facts connected with the recent outbreak in that island. The Rev. H. H. Dobney presided, and having made a few opening remarks he briefly introduced Dr. UNPERHILL, who was warmly greeted by the meeting, which was very numerous. Silence being restored, he said—Mr. Chairman, and ladies and gentlemen, I certainly should not feel myself justi fied in keeping the whole time of the meeting with the concerns of Jamaica were it not for the pecu liarity of the circumstances in which I feel myself placed. It would indeed be my duty, as the re presentative of the Baptist Missionary Society, to carry your , minds to other parts of the earth ; and certainly, when invited a few weeks ago, I did not expect to meet you under the special circumstances of this evening. But I feel lam justified in taking up those points for the reasons I have stated--those points, in order to elucidate some of the difficulties, the perplexities, and some of the facts of this most lamentable and painful event which has just occurred in the island of Jamaica. The past week, to me, has been one of great anxiety and labour and fatigue, as my own mind has not cleared its way to the conclusion to which this great event must lead. We have not received any very authentic account of the origin of the rebellion, and we can only come to the remotest conclusion by a compari son of statements. Dr. Underhill then proceeded to narrate the events in the order in which they oc curred. He then proceeded to say : You cannot read these despatches as to the suppression without being struck at the tone and the temper of the man who put it down. It has been remarked how those English officers seem to gloat with savage delight over the way in which it was quelled. There are some instances so extraordinarily singular, and so strangely painful, that I cannot wonder that Eng lish people throughout the land have risen up with unanimous voice to condemn the men who have the heart to perpetrate such deeds as were taken in re taliation. Having shown the acts of the rebellion and the methods taken, the Governor of Jamaica enters up the causes and origin of this terrible event. He began by telling us that there was no assignable cause ; and in the speech he made at Kingston before he left he said there was no organisation in the rebellion. And yet he says this rebellion is clue to a letter which I wrote nine months ago to the Colonial Sec retary. I do not profess to reconcile the two statements. (The speaker here repeated the circumstances under which that letter was written, and stated that Gordon was a native of Glasgow, born of a mulatto mother, a man of good education and considerable station, who took an active interest in the welfare of the black people. He then pro ceeded to speak of the condition of the island.] The produce of the island is not so large as it was three years ago. Droughts have prevailed, especially last year ; and when there is a great extent of distress there is always a great amount of dissatisfaction and discontent. Besides that there is a great want of employment in the island. There are about 300 sugar estates in the island ; and taking the average number of persons employed on these estates, they do not exceed 30,000 ; another 30,000 in the coffee plantations, and about the same number for other occupations, and we have a total of about 90,000 or 100,000. But what is to become of those other 350,000 people? Unless they have other sources of livelihood they must go away. As regards the outcry that there is a want of labour in Jamaica, it is an utterly ' false thing. There is a want of continuous labour. It has been said that the negro will not work more than five days in the week. Now that is due to the planters. When the negro was a slave, and the planters seized the whole labour of the man, he gave him Sunday and then the Saturday to work on the little plot of land which he appropriated to him, and so made him work only one or two days to feed himself. You can understand that when they became free they took care to keep the Saturday and the Sunday. It has long been the law not to work on Saturday—it is the great market day of the island. You see on Saturday hundreds and thousands pro ceeding to the markets of the island, partly to dis pose of their own produce and partly to purchase the things they need. Now, the reason why they do not work continuously is because they do not have continuous labour to do. This is just the thing the planter does not do. There is so much labour unemployed that the planter can get labour any time he wants it, and so if a shower of rain comes he dismisses his men. One planter said he employed during the crop time about 200 hands, but in the hot months less than 200. Now, these people who were unem ployed took land themselves, and cultivated it, and when the crop time of the planter comes, the crop time of the men comes also. Therefore, it is evident that the planter cannot have hands simply because he does not take the means of securing continuous labour by employing them all the year round. It is a matter of political economy that the supply of labour, as of everything else, depends upon the de mand ; and it is a fact that, since slavery, wages in Jamaica have gone down, and were never lower in the island than at this moment, and people cannot live on the wages that they get. You can't live on a shilling a day in Jamaica. If they can only work half of the year, that reduces it practically to 6d. These wages do not always get fairly and honourably paid. There is one very singu lar passage of the despatch. It there states that one of the men having an estate in this very Morant Bay district, immediately he heard of the outbreak sent up the wages of the people, for it is a habit by many planters to keep back the wages of the people, and a great amount of dissatisfaction arises among them from the fact that they are not regularly, constantly, and fairly paid. So, to escape the consequence of his own neglect, we have seen that he hastens to pay them that they may not express their discontent by destroying the crops of their employer. There is one more feature I will refer to. It is said that the negroes have equal privileges with the white man. A £6 freehold entitles the black man to vote ; but until last year there was an obstacle in the way of the negro exercising that privilege. His name must be registered. He must pay 10s. every year ; and we know how a fee of only ls. precluded people from exercising the privilege in our own coun try only a few years ago. That fee of 10s. is the key which explains why out of 441,000 people only 2,000 are voters to supply the Assembly with its forty seven members. To show that they do not possess political privileges we have only to go back to last year, when it was enacted that not only must they have the £6 franchise, but must pay yearly 20s. or 30s. for having their name kept on the register. That House of Assembly was one of the bad fea tures mentioned in their despatches by the Gover nors of Jamaica. A large proportion of them are placemen, and they all hold office under Govern ment. They are planters generally, and have planters' interests at heart—just the same as in England, where men brought up for poaching stand but little chance of leniency from a game-preserving bench of magistrates. There are three classes of black men in the island : those who work on the sugar estates, who are generally the most weak, licentious, and dissolute people in the neighbourhood. Another class may be called idle; th ey h ave grown up since freedom—children, they are, of parents who died in cholera. Even if they come to work, th ey can ' t earn enough ; their work is not sufficiently remune rative to make it worth a man's while to work. There is another class who do not reside on the sugar estates. They live on th e mountains, and are assiduous, diligent, and industrious. From their labour comes all the coffee, and pimento and ginger are nearly all th eir pro d ucing. They are a numerous class, comprising between 30,000 and4o,ooo. These are the men you hear little of—perhaps nothing at all—for they li ve apart. Among these people is growing up a lar ge b o d y o f we ll -to-do peasantry. 'Though they do not possess riches they are well off. There is much done to repress their energies by the white man, who generally eyes the black with dis favour. (Having expressed an opinion that the Governor of Jamaica would meet with his deserts, and that a commission of English gentlemen should be sent to Jamaica, the speaker resumed his seat amidst much applause.) The meeting was shortly afterwards brought to a close. rAr day. cite in , on a ng for High- 'russia, .ondon Ed Mr. ffater- nburg, rries in by her led to rk and ce and icking- day. sa the de, left Ville- called ch was ie fact great ere cut e gun- village, ,rehwo- for its .ng the illebois ►unting )opular a fine [over of btached i estate ►is, the r Tees 3terday station. e sport royal am to- isit the Norfolk, a prince ;hnesses fiord and Cam- at Cam- air royal uke and Dr and yester 'axe and ►dbrook, at his )m Asko [grave 1. ived. in r Linton eceive a vn yes o Real- "wn to 3terfield, anover, Hotel, 7iyed at xed at Lire. ye left t to the SoN.— ermott, vindling I also a Lott Nva o Royals ground vas dis rds, got Ls there, all with coupled y towns 3ston he id ulti he 90th. son (the short of obliged Rennie m some roker 0 of ardp, and lost void the 1 on the - 0 watell ted Lion r for the go i ng to for sore p a y for/ ceompa the sta ,erraioLl the art (lade bioi Le. w here, 3honded/ I Sato' .ediatell During the pas' rr i n gto o brandy SEA SEP bertsoil farmer s fusa,l on ourbo na liter th) and that The s el ; W °ll 7 [ i ey• t 00" his m eal 3 plag lie e de er*Pel rirS iler t : w ithen. ;ters and Teat bout the 0 At ire. of eeing unfOl spec - a Striat °1 strall a ' after mplianee was may >llse n h a d D., he house had peen 103 102 102 103 106 108 105 106 rECEFEILENCH :SHARES.

On Sept. 25, in lat. 24 N., long. 119 W., the Phillipe I. supplied her with necessaries to reach Amoy. Oct. 26.—The brig J. H. Bockelmann, of Ham burg, arrived here, reports that on the 9th nf October, about 20 miles E.S.E. of Capze Point, she was boarded by alarge pirate lorcha, carrying 100 men, and armed with 14 large guns and a large stock of smaller guns, on the look out for an outward bound brig from Hongkong, with specie on board. The pirates remained on board two hours and a half, and cleared off all the ship's property, kc. The commander, to all appearance an European, threatened to murder all hands should the least show of resistance be offered. When the pirate left they steered an easterly course.

TEAR-UPS AND CANVAS SUlTS.—Three persons were brought up before Mr. Paget in new canvas suits fastened with white tape, charged with destroying their clothes in the Rateliff workhouse belonging to the Stepney Union this morning. One, an adult, gave the name of Thomas Clark and said ho came from Bristol to London in search of work as a bricklayer's labourer a month ago, and could not obtain any employment in consequence of the filthy and ragged condition of his clothes which he tore up this morning. The second boy, named William Wright, said he was at work twelve months ago as a labourer in New Park-street, Southwark, and had done nothing since. His clothes were so very bad that no one would or could look at him. The third prisoner, Edward Laurie, a lad, stated that he had been at work for Mr. White, a coal-dealer, in Union-Area, near Redcross- Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day. Market opens with a strong feeling, and Ameri can and Egyptian are advancing in price. Sales probably 15,000 or 20,000 bales. GOOD PROSPECTS FOR SALMON FISHERS.—For nearly a whole week the, footpath of the bridge at the Bridge of Allan has been occupied by persons witnessing the efforts of the salmon to get over the dam. They seem to be running in shoals. It is many years since such a number has been seen ascending within a similar period, and gives good promise of a reduction in the price of this fine fish from what has been ruling for many past seasons. The local commissioners have issued printed circulars call ing upon all millowners, under a penalty of £5, to provide a ladder at each dam. If they enforce this bye-law far fewer foul fish will be captured in future,whilst there will no longer be witnessed the many unsuccessful and painful efforts made by the fish to ascend. At many places at present they are so weakened by these efforts as to become an easy prey to poachers.—North British Daily Mail. LADVERTISEMENT.]-I.followay ' s Pills and Ointment.-- A frequent cause of gout and rheumatism is the inflamma tory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion and general debility. A few doses of these pills, taken in time, are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism ; but any one who has an attack of either should use Hollo way's ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effect of the pills, must infallibly effect a cure. These pills act directly on the blood, which they purify and improve. They also regulate the secretions and give tone to the stomach, and thus the whole system is invigorated and put into a condition which enables it to stop the approach of the disease or throw it off. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER,. Nov. 28.—Both yesterday and to day, and especially.yesterday, there has been a con siderable quantity of shipping yarns of all kinds disposed of. Stocks have been pretty well cleared out, and spinners have gone rather deeply under contract. The market this afternoon, however, is scarcely so strong as it was in the earlier part of the day. Prices are firm at the close of the market, espe cially for such yarns as are ready for delivery, but stocks of these are generally very scarce, Sellers of home trade yarns say they have had a better market to-day, with a fair business going on. They report prices id. per lb. better than on Friday last. In cloth there is no change in the market up to this morning since Friday. There was a general disposition on the part of buyers to give out orders if they could only place them at slightly more favourable rates than those demanded by manufacturers. To-day there has been a more de- ' cided movement in this branch of the market ; large offers have been made, and there has been a general disposition to buy, but the firm, and in fact advanced, position of yarns has forced upon makers the necessity of higher quotations. To some extent buyers are willing to give this advance. They have been willing to give a small advance on last week's rates, and have operated to a fair extent at such an advance, but they have hesitated to give the full advance required by the manufacturers to cover the extra cost of yarn, and this has prevented the business being so large as it otherwise would have been. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth market :—" Our market has been quiet during the week, with, however, a disposition on the part of buyers to operate at a moderate reduc tion on current quotations. To-day we have a decidedly more cheerful feeling, and considerable offers have been made at a slight advance on Fri day's rates. Though a fair business has been done, the advanced prices asked for yarns have greatly tended to check business." LEEDS, 28th. —There was a small attendance of buyers in the halls this morning, and they were sparing in their purchases. Tweeds and meltons were in moderate request, but not so much as to give animation to the market, and most other goods, including some heavy winter fabrics, sold in quite retail quantities. In the open market there is little or anything doing in spring goods, but upon such and ordinary cloths the manufacturers are well em ployed. Cloth dressers, finishers, and dyers are not quite so brisk as they were a month ago, but most of them are working full time. Wools keep very firm in price. NOTTINGHAM, 28th.—There was a fair attendance at our Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand forlace yarns, although slow, was steady. For fine muslins prices may be quoted a shade higher ; coarse and medium ditto, very firm. The demand for hosiery yarns was tolerable, and recent rates were made. Spun silks rather dearer. For brown nets, the de mand was very quiet, but prices remain without any important alteration. ROCHDALE, 27th.—The colder weather has had the effect which last week was anticipated, and the country trade has rallied not a little. The ware houses have been more frequented by some of the influential buyers associated with the home trade. Their inquiries are almost altogether for fancy and dyed goods, of which there are endless shades and infinite patterns, adapted both for men's and other wear. These coloured and decorated kinds have to so great an extent superseded the " pure and simple" flannels that scarcely any are now made to stock, and the demand is at zero, to which point it has for some time been rapidly declining. To-day the at tendance at market has been larger than of late, and business improved somewhat in the same propor tion. In the transactions which took place prices appeared to be unchanged. The heavier of the in ferior kinds of blankets and low woollens from the adjoining county were in as poor request as hitherto, but the goods of a superfine quality especially, and some of a medium class, are much more saleable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON AUTUMN STEEPLECHASES.—TUESDAY. Although not favoured with fine weather, the attendance on the opening day of this meeting was very large. The stand and enclosure were crowded, speculation being carried on with great spirit. The meeting was honoured with the presence of Lord Coventry, who has not been to Croydon races for some years, and his lordship expressed himself highly gratified at the business-like manner in which every thing was conducted, and the excellent arrangements for the convenience and comfort of owners and trainers, and the public generally. Unfortunately one race, the Selling Steeplechase, fell through, but although the pro gramme consisted of three events only, the sport was of the most interesting kind. It is unnecessary to refer to the races, every detail of which is appended, more than to say that Mr. Powell followed up his good fortune at Warwick by winning the two principal races with Flyfisher and L'Africain, the victory of the last-mentioned being received with loud cheers. Rain, which had fallen moderately during the first part of the afternoon, descended heavily when the sport concluded, but notwithstanding this disadvantage a ring was formed, and some lively speculation took place on the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase, the chief support being awarded to L'Africain, who was freely backed at 6 to 4, and eventually 5 to 4 was the highest offer. Laura at 5 to 1 was the only other animal backed for any amount. The following is a full return of the running : The Stewards' Plate (Handicap) of 100 sovs. Any winner after the publication of the weights to carry 71b extra. About three miles. Mr. Powell's Flyfisher, aged, 12st (G. Holman 1 Count de la Bigne's R.M.D., 6 yrs, list 21b G. Quinton 2 Mr. Rose Price's Simpleton, aged, lOst 71b ...Horrigan 3 The following also ran :—Patience, Marmadake, Santhal, Tulipe Orageuse, The Objected, Diana, Sir Robert Tam bour Major, and Lisette. Betting-2 to 1 agst Flyfisher, sto 1 each agst Patience and R.M.D., and 10 to 1 agst Tambour Major. Lisette was the first to show in front, next to whom came Flyfisher, Sir Robert, and Simpleton, but Sir Robert fell after going half a mile. On the far side Lisette came to grief, and Simpleton, who had passed the favourite, took up the run ning with a clear lead of R.M.D., The Objected going on third, and Flyfisher next; the others widely scattered; the three last being Diana, Santhal, and Marmaduke. This order was maintained past the stand the second time, when The Objected took second place, but only on sufferance, for R.M.D. passed him on crossing the plough, and improving the pace, which had been wretched, the French horse over hauled Simpleton, and took a strong lead. After going two miles and a half Flyfisher began to close on R.M.D., and catching him when called on, came over the last fence a length in front, and increasing his lead on rising the hill to the finish won with the greatest ease by six lengths. The Objected falling at the last fence enabled Simpleton to finish third, the same distance in the rear of R.M.D. None of the others passed the post. A Hunters' Stake of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; 12st 71b each ; selling allowances. Mr. J. Mason's Tip Top, aged (X 100) 12st 71b (Mr. A. Goodman) 1 Mr. P. R.Tattersall's Meerschaum, aged (£100), 13st (in. 71b extra) (Pickett) 2 The following also ran :—Express, Saucebox, and Hot spur. Betting —Even on Express, 5 to 2 agst Tip Top, and 7 tot agst Saucebox. The favourite took a strong lead for a mile, when he fell, and took no further part in the contest. Tip Top then made play, followed by Meerschaum, the other two being out of the race, after going a mile and a half. Tip Top, after taking the command, was never headed, and increasing his lead in the last half mile, can tered in a winner by twenty lengths. Meerschaum, who fell on his head in the middle of the field and smothered Pickett with mud, struggling gamely, but hopelessly, was second. The winner was bought by Mr. Ellison for 100 guineas. The Croydon Steeplechase Cup of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 10 soya each, 5 forfeit, for 4-yr-olds and upwards ; certain penalties and allowances. About 3 miles and a half. Mr. Powell's L'Africain (late Falendre), 6 yrs, 12st 71b (G. Holman) 1 Mr. E. Lavigne's Magenta, 6 yrs, 12st 7113.„(Larnplugh) 2 Mr. R. Walker's Cortolvin, 6 yrs, 12st 101 b (Mr. Edwards) 3 The following also ran : Valentino, Old Oswestry, and Brown Windsor. Betting-5 to 2on L'Africain, 6to 1 agst Magenta. The latter and Valentino were the first to show in advance, the pair holding a slight lead of Old Oswestry, following 1 whom was the favourite, Cortolvin bringing up the rear After passing the Stand, Valentino rushed to the front attended by Old Oswestry, L'Africain going on third ; but on the far side of the course the latter was allowed to get to the leaders, whom he headed in an instant, but being eased before reaching the stand the second time, Old Os westry and Magenta passed him, but always having the race in hand, and occasionally taking a slight lead, L'Afri cain quitted his opponents a quarter of a mile from the winning post, and cantered in ten lengths in front of Ma genta. Cortolvin, who went remarkably well at the latter part of the race, and fenced superbly throughout, finished three lengths behind the second. The others walked in at wide intervals. THIRD EDITION.

ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES AT EPHESUS.--Mr. Hyde Clarke writes to the Athenxion from Smyrna, on the 4th inst.:—"Yesterday, being at Azizieh, I had some finds, worth noticing in the Atheneum. First I examined the conical hill near Azizieh, beyond the Ephesus Pass. This, as I suspected, I found to be a tomb ; and it proves to be one of the remarkable monuments of Asia Minor. It is a conical hill about 600 or 700 feet high, but joining on to a low ridge behind. It is so unlike the neighbouring formations of limestone that I suspect it has been trimmed partially. This mound, about 150 feet below the sum mit, is crowned with a ring wall of loose rubble piled about ten feet wide on the surface, and which is mostly in good preservation. On the top is the tumulus in a very dilapidated state, having been rifled and in a worse state than the tomb of Tantalus on Sipylus. There are appearances of the inner vault, and, like that of Tantalus, there are many bits of tiles of the same kind, and so like wise in the wall and scattered over the mound. To desig nate this I propose to call it the Tomb of Lydus. At the foot to the east, close against the tomb, I found the site of a small town, about I,oooft. square, evidently on the old road to the interior. I then went with Mr. E. A. Drew to see the pass he has brought to light, and which is the real Ephesus Pass, about one mile or one mile and a half to the right of the present Ephesus Pass through which the rail way passes to Azizieh. The original and deserted pass is a very interesting site. Here I identified the site of a large town or city, which must have had upwards of 20,000 in habitants. For a mile and a half or two miles the surface is thickly filled with tiles and stones, interspersed with foun dations and heaps of stones. The only sculptured remains are at the lower part, near Azizieh, where there is a small but solid building with a niche and two windows. In the tombs are two double pilasters of very poor style. This place I have named Eski Azizieh. I cannot conjecture its ancient designation. It was evidently the summer town or village of Ephesus, and I consider Latorea was at Boorgas, close by. There are considerable remains of the causeway, but the place must have been deserted centuries ago. Tho pass leading to Azizieh is well supplied with water. Below Eski Azizieh is a good stream most of the way from Magnesia ad Mmendrum. I consider Eski Azizieh a promising site fir excavations. All the places I have referred to are within a short walk of Azizieh, and Eski Azizieh is about five miles from Ephesus station." MURDER NEAR NEWPORT.--A puddler at the Cwmbran Iron Works was murdered on Saturday night by a fellow-workman, a fitter. It appears that the puddler lodged at a house in which a young woman re sided, and whOm he was courting. On Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, as they were walking together, the fitter joined them; he was a great deal the worse for liquor, and as they proceeded along the road he attempted to kiss the young woman. Upon this the puddler knocked him down. When he rose up he pulled out a large knife with a spring at the back and stabbed the puddler to the heart. The wounded man died almost immediately. The fitter was secured by the police ; he is a native of Westbromwicb, where his parents carry on a large business. Mr. W. H. Brewer will hold an inquest on the body of the deceased this morning. MR. SEWARD'S SENSATIONS WHEN ATTACKED BY THE ASSASSIN.-A correspondent of tho Spectator says that Mr. Seward and his son have each told, at the request of friends, the story of their sensations at the time of the attempted assassination :—" Mr. Frederick Seward said that on stepping from his bedroom into the passage and seeing the assassin he merely wondered what ho was doing there, and called him to account. On his resisting the fellow's attempt to press into Mr. Seward's room, he (the assassin) drew a revolver, which he presented at Mr. Frederick Seward's head. What followed, it must be remembered, took place is a few seconds. Mr. Frederick Seward's first thought was, That's a navy revolver.' The man pulled the trigger, but it only snapped, and his intended victim thought, That cap missed fire.' His next sensation was that of confusion, and being upon the floor, resting upon his right arm, which, like his father's jaw, was barely recovered from a bad fracture—the assassin had felled him to the floor with the butt of the pistol—he put his hand to his head, and finding a hole there, he thought, 'That cap did not miss fire, after all.' Then he became insensible, and assassinated tgco r hofo e em m t aavttiheoner very returningseedb co ndition,ales o lt e foroeontros.?tocni consciousness s d t n a e days B S s a nwd whicha uis theohree qu e s t io n , eulel His s toi of f fl first a s tg, again indicationnav in to to you a Frederickowhichf t he w sa dayse w o w f a rh l d o e, nn who orcontinuance..waoln Assistant- Secretary ll,:r)ans of State, had asked his father what preparation should be made for the presentation of Sir Frederick Bruce, which was to take place the next day. Mr. Seward gave him the points of a reply to be made to Sir Frederick, and he laid the outline of his speech upon the President's table, and, as I have previously informed my readers, Mr. Lincoln that afternoon wrote out the reply, adopting Mr. Seward's suggestions, and thus pre paring that reception of the British Minister by President Johnson which was regarded at the time by the people to whose representative it was addressed as so friendly, and fair, and dignified. Mr. Frederick Seward's first inquiry after he came fully to his senses, which was a long time after the assassination, was, 'Has Sir Frederick Bruce been presented ?"

He was brought to full consciousness by the scuffle in the passage -way, followed by the entrance of the assassin, and the cry of Miss Seward, 'Oh! he will kill my father !' But he saw nothing of his assailant until a hand appeared above his face, and then his thought was, What a handsome man !' (Payne was a fine-looking fellow.) Then came a sensation as of rain striking him smartly upon one side of his face and neck, then quickly the same upon the other side, but he felt no severe pain. This was the assassin's knife. The blood spouted, he thought, My time has come,' and, falling from the bed to the floor, fainted. His first sensa tion of returning consciousness was that he was drindr i nkingtea, and that it tasted good.' Mrs. Seward was giving him tea with a spoon. He heard low voices around him, asking and replying as to whether it would be possible for him to recover. He could not speak , but his eyes showed his consciousness, and that he desired to speak. Th e y brought him a porcelain tablet, on which he managed to write, Give me some snore tea ; I shall get well.' And from that moment he has slowly but steadily recovered health and strength."
