Rumours of financial difficulties have been re ported to-day, but nothing of an authentic character has transpired, and it is believed that they are for the most part without the slightest foundation. At all events no difficulty is experienced by all respect able houses in getting ample accommodation on the follows : —T he easy ter ms l ately quoted. The Builionist states as position of the Bank suggests the probability of a reduction in the rate of discount to 3 1 per cent. It. is proverbially unsafe to prophesy on any matters connected with the money market ; but taking the Bank iu its present position, as shown by the last return, there is no reason why the reduc tion should not have been made on Thursday. The bullion has increased to £17,144,607, the reserve of notes and coin to £8,867,763, and the reserve of Government Securities to £12,304,391. These are Conditions of strength unprecedented during the last t hree years. And while this is the case the private securities continue to decline until they are now but a fractio n a b ove £19, 000,000---a certain indication of a l a p s i ng business. At the same time the circu lation, which for many months has been unusually high, is receding to something like its normal amount. If these tendencies continue, the Bank will have no alternative but to reduce. Gold to the amount of £14,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The traffic receipts on the Great Indian Railway Company's lines, for the week ending Sept. 23, amounted to £36,856, while for the corresponding period of the previous year they were £32,997, showing an increase of £3,859. The directors of the Oriental Gas Company have issued their report for the past twelve months, to gether with the accoants to the 30th June last. It is stated that the operations exhibited satisfactory Progress, and that gas has been laid on (amongst other buildings) to the Alipore Gaol, St. Peter's Church, and the European Orphan Asylum. By the additional storage provided the company is in a position to meet the increase of business for some Years. A satisfactory termination, of negotiations for a contract with the authorities for the supply of gas to Howrah has been mutually agreed upon. Paring to the rapid extension of the company's business the directors have secured the co-opera tion of three gentlemen of high position and cha racter in Calcutta as a resident committee for the local supervision of affairs. Notwithstanding having plac ed £l,OOO to the reserve fund, and £1,085 to wear and tear account, there remains a balance of £l °, l lB, from which the directors recommend a distribution of 5f per cent., free of income-tax, payable on the 3d prox., making a total dividend for th o e year of 81 per cent. :h Itnperial Ottoman Government, in f u lfil men t °' it s promises o f th e 6th S ep t em b er l ast, h as now formally assigned to the Imperial Ottoman Bank revenues valued at £4,600,000, to provide for the div idends of th e f ore i gn l oans an d the 5 per Cent.

THE FIRE IN QUEBEC.-DUBLIN, November 16. —A public meeting has been called by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin, for Monday the 19th, to aid the sufferers. The citizens expect the great proprietors in and around Dublin to join them in their subscriptions, to show their gratitude for the aid sent from Canada in 1847, to their poorer countrymen. The rich or other landlords or landladies (or the Earl of Pembroke's trustees), Lady Palmerston (or Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P.), the Earl of Longford, Viscount De Vosci, Earl of Meath, Earl of Miltown, Viscount Monck, Earl of Erne, and others, by sending their contributions through their agents, or by letter to the meeting, would show a good example. The great absentee Irish proprietors could also send their sub scriptions on Monday, such as Viscount Dillon, the Duke of Devonshire. Earl Russell, Mr. George Lane Fox, Marquis of Hertford, Marquis of Lansdowne, and a host of others. "Bis dat qui cite dat." The late Lords Pal merston and Herbert of Lee were very liberal. G (TN ACCIDENT TO ME. PEASE, M.P.—A: lament able accident occurred to Mr. J. W. Pease, one of the Par liamentary members for South Durham, on Tuesday after noon last. The hon. member, who was on a visit at Whitley-hall, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the resi dence of Mr. E. A. Leatham, was out with a party of gen tlemen shooting in the grounds near the hall. Mr. Pease was a little in advance of the rest of the party, when a pheasant rose, at which Mr. Tew (of the firm of Messrs. Leatham, Tow and Co., bankers, Wakefield), when the bird was just getting on the wing, fired, and a considerable portion of the shot with which the gun was charged hit Mr. Pease instead of the bird. The hon. gentleman was hit in the thighs, the lower part of the body, and in the left arm. We need hardly add that the sad accident excited great alarm, and prompt means were adopted to render re lief to the sufferer. Mr. Marsden, a surgeon, was immedi ately obtained, and Mr. Pease was removed to Whitley hall. The injury which the hon. gentleman has received appears not to be of averyserious character, and the report yesterday as to his condition was that he was going on favourably . A MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.—On 'Wednesday morning as the marriage service was being per formed at Trinity Church, Bristol, by the Rev. J. Thompson on coming to the sentence, " If any person knoweth any just cause or impediment why these two persons should not be joined together in 11.)ly matrimony, let him now declare it,' all parties were much surprised by a response to the well known formula, in the person of a brother of the would-be bride, who positively forbade the marriage. After a conver sation with the officiating clergyman, that gentleman told the unhappy pair that he could not proceed with the service, and the parties left the church, not without a struggle on the part of the fair one, her brother dragging her by the hand to the carriage, into which ho lifted her, he taking the place of the intended husband, the opposite scat being occupied by the bridesmaid and best man. The carriage then drove off in one direction, while the disappointed bridegroom walked away in another. The nature of the information possessed by the brother and communicated to clergyman not known.—Manchester Examiner. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY E V ENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1866.

Sir,—ln ac knowledging the receipt of your letter of the Bth inst., giv ing cover to a cheque for £24 u s. subscribed by the officers, non-commissioned ofacers, and men of the Royal Down Rifle Regiment of Militia to this fund, I am directed by the committee to request that you will be good enough to con vey to the regiment its very sincere thanks and apprecia tion of the motives which induced them to contribute so handsomely towards the defence of Mr. Eyre. Your letter I shall have great pleasure in transmitting to him. It will be a source of much comfort to him in his troubles to find so many noble men rallying round him to prctect lt . in from the cowardly and un-English proceedings of the so-called Jamaica Committee.—Believe me, very faithfully yours, HAMILTON HtME, hon. secretary.-- Captain G. Conyngham Stuart." Mr. BRICKDALE seconded the nomination. No other candidate being proposed, the High Sheriff de clared Sir J. Bolt duly elected. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on coming forward, was re ceived with renewed cheers and some hisses. He commenced by acknowledging the renewal of confidence in him- (no nu) —on the part of the electors of West Gloucestershire by electing him for the fourth time without opposition as their member. First he thanked his political friends for placing him in the proud position which he held. (A Voice "For the last time.") Ho had heard that cry before, "For the last time," but they would see about that. But while thanking Lis political friends he should not be doing his whole duty if he did not express his appreciation of the kindness and courtesy of his opponents on this occasion. (Hear. hear.) He believed that if they bad opposed his re election they would not have succeeded iu their opposition, but he could not the less thank them for the kind manner in which they had refrained from attempting it. If they would allow him he would state what was the ground on which he thought they wore justified in re-electing him that day. (A Voice—" Let us have the franchise.") The only circumstantial difference in the position of affairs now and the position of affairs when they elected him in July, 1865, was that ho had accepted an office under the Crown with her Majesty's present Government, and he would endeavour to satisfy them that this afforded no reason for any change of their opinion. After referring to the circumstances attending -the Reform discussion during the last session he asked, looking to the circumstances under which the present Government took office, were they not entitled to a fair and candid conside ration? Were not their measures entitled to receive a dis passionate consideration at the hands of the House of Com mons ? (Cheers.) Let them look at the character and composition of that Government. Look at the Prime Mini ' ster, Lord Derby ; what had he,and his ancestors done for the people ? They who could look back to 1831 knew what a prominent part he had. taken in the Reform of 1831 and, 1832. Then what had he done for education ? He had assisted the progress of national education more than any other man in the country. But afterwards, when the poli tical coach was going too fast, and when The women who had locked their fish up, Had gone away to cry " No Bishop," then he thought it was time to put the drag on, and he advocated the maintenance of the Constitution of the country, but at the same time maintaining that liberal spirit with which he had started in life. (Hear, hear.) Let them look next at the leader of the House of Com mons—a man under whom any one might be proud to serve. With mature knowledge as a statesman, and with indomitable courage, he had for nearly 20 years kept to gether a large political party of upwards of 250 men, not by a division of the sweets of office, but in opposition. Other old and tried men in the Ministry he need not enu merate, but he would venture to affirm that the new men, who had taken office for the first time, might be ranked as at least equal to anythat they might take from the other side for habits of wisdom, knowledge of affairs, and elo quence in debate. There was the Lord President, the Duke of Buckingham, he would venture to say that there was not another man who could be at all compared with him as a man of business, and for general knowledge of affairs. Then there were... Lord Stanley (at the head of foreign affairs), Lord Cranborne, and not forgetting Mr. Cave, who was connected with Gloucestershire. (A voice —" What about the two Chancellors of the Exchequer ?") Why, ho would say the wise matured actions [of the pre sent Chancellor of the Exchequer were not to be compared with the actions of the late Chancellor. Then as to foreign politics, he would ask, were they always to be silent re specting what was doing abroad ? Were they never to in terfere or to see what was going on on the continent ? If so, they would hereafter become a second Denmark. It was not that they were always to be interfering, promising cajoling, and then forsaking their allies when the time for help came. (Hear, hear.) That was the course that had been pursued by this country towards Denmark. With regard to our army and navy, it was agreed on all hands that if we were not active in taking part in an efficient maintenance of our army and navy while other countries were doing so much they might be left in a dangerous position. Numerous public questions required conside ration, but the reform coach stopped the way. He was not going to discuss the position in which the question stood beyond saying this, that the question became one of great importance when they considered that the extreme Radical party hail thought it right to unite itself with the trades unionist in order to effect its purpose. That was a fact pregnant with dauger. lie asked them to consider the extreme opinions which during this autumn had been advanced at great political meetings, and ho ventured to ask why the public had not got .some de claration from some of the leaders of the Whig party that they could not go the length of the extreme Radicals. It was right they should have a declaration from the leaders of the Liberal party that they were not prepared to go that length. In this position of affairs he thought it impossible they could have men more able to satisfy the requirements of the country than the present Government. If there was to be an alliance of the Liberals with the extreme Radicals then they had arrived at a moment of danger, and ho called on all moderate men of whatever party to cast their lot, not with Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, but with those who would uphold the constitution and oppose revolution. The ro-elected member having been girt with the sword in the usual manner, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. Tie Gambling Mania. The growth of the passion for gambling in this country is a just cause of alarm. Formerly very few of our people were addicted to it; now it pre vails so extensively that it may be almost said to be universal. It pervades everything. It enters into our business and our pleasures, and even the church tolerates it as an auxiliary to its charitable efforts. One can scarcely open a newspaper without finding several tempting programmes of art unions and gift enterprises, offering chances to secure prizes rang-\ ing from one dollar to half a million upon the pay ment of a small sum ; and although several of these have proved outright swindles, no prizes at all being distributed, and in those that are managed with ap parent honesty the prizes do not amount in fact to half the aggregate received for tickets, and there is not one chance in a hundred of a ticket-holder realis ing anything, it is evident that tickets are still sold in immense numbers. How does it happen that we Yankees, who are supposed never to part with a dollar unless we are sure of its full value in return, are so easily duped ? Has some strange transformation occurred to us, eradicating our in herited sagacity and thrift ? No doubt Yankee human nature is very much like all other varieties of the article, and this apparent change is rather a development originating in new circumstances. An inflated currency has unsettled all the normal rela tions of business and industry. While capital and speculative sagacity gain large rewards, industry is but poorly paid in Comparison. The difference is greater than ever before, greater than is consistent with just relations between the different classes or with permanent prosperity to any. Nobody ex-_ . pects now to accumulate property by ordinary industry and thrift. It must come by some stroke of good fortune or not at all. The factory operative sees his employers accumulating every year what would be to him a great fortune ; is it strange that he should attempt to break into the charmed circle, and venture his hardly - earned five or ten dollars for the Email chance of obtain ing a lucky number from some wheel of fortune? The poor country pastor, struggling to live upon a salary altogether inadequate, receives a circular giving a brilliant schedule of prizes rising from a thousand dollar picture to a six hundred thou sand dollar opera house, not in a lottery either, but an " art union," by which the prizes are to be "distributed," not " drawn" or raffled for—is it strange that he is tempted to risk the five dollars he can ill spare from necessary uses, and devote it to the purchase of a chance, which is scarcely one chance in a thousand that ho may receive some thing in the " distribution." Perhaps he remem bers, too, that " the disposing of the lot is from the Lord," and indulges the hope that the Lord may favour him just this once, seeing that he needs the favour so very much. Or he argues that every thing has now taken this shape—that the gambling, once peculiar to the stock market, has entered every department of trade, that scarcely anything sells for its honest price, but bears the burdens imposed by sale and resale among the speculators—and snick, he cannot escape this unnatural complication, but must submit to its evils whether he will or not, why should he not also improve the chance open to him and try his luck with the rest ? The passion for sudden gain also enters into our amusements. Con tests of strength and skill have no charm unless one party is to win something from the other besides the glory of victory. There must be a prize to be won, or a boat race, a horn race, or a game of ball has Westwick has returned home, and is to be thrown up. This morning Knight of the Crescent took Grand Cross three steady canters, and then the pair went in. Knight of St. Michael led Knight of the Grove a smart mile gallop. Queen of Nuts walked. The whole of the above (Lord Exeter's) are to be disposed of. Tho Rejected gave Tara ban and West Wind two cantors, and then a mile and a quarter gallop. Southmiuster was again engaged tutoring the yearlings. Amazon and Rondinella were working freely. Bezique, Vulcan, and Tycoon galloped a mile. Malta and Treasure Trove trotted: Urania, Skysail, Ploughboy, and Little Treasure had a mile and a half gallop. The whole of the yearlings are progressing ex ceedingly well. 107 I little interest, and on such occasions there is besides a great deal of private betting among the spectators, for they, too, must have something at stake in order to enjoy the full zest of the contest. Even the church fair must gratify the same passim by its raffles or its receipts will be small. Exactly how much intrinsic evil there is in gambling in its various forms let the casuists decide. Its prevalence in the form of a general mania is unquestionably the oc casion of evils. It is a bad thing for any man to be overpowered by the passion for sudden wealth. It makes him discontented with work and its meagre rewards; it increases the powerof every temptation to dishonesty. The robberies, forgeries, murders even for gain, that now abound, are only some of the worst products of this terrible passion, which once fully possessing a man, corrupts the moral sense and prepares him for almost any wickedness. The remedy for the individual is resistance to temp tation and contentment with such gains as may be honestly made. The general remedy is the resto ration of a sound currency, which will bring back the normal relations of labour and capital and secure a more equitable distribution of wealth. Springfield Republican. NOTES :FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS , (THIS DAY). NEWMARKET, The weather being fine this morning, the training grounds were extensively patronised, Harlock having an exceedingly strong bevy at work, including nearly forty of the Earl of Glasgow's. Several fresh additions have been made toßloss's team, but the principal horses at work from that stable to-day were Broomielaw, Vespasian, the Her mit, and Knight of the Garter, who were looking remark ably well. Gladiateur went two miles steadily over the Bury Hill, and Jennings also exercised Dragon, Enchan teur, Inaperater, and Cerf Volante. Joseph Dawson had out a goodly few, Ceerops being in strong prepa ration for Warwick, and `Friponnier accompany ing the Rake in a steady mile gallop. Dalesman was again leading Hippia, Jasper, and Falkenstein, merrily along, and Sealskin and Ley bourne were again pioneering D'Estournel and Ravioli. Mount Palatine fol lowed King Charming steadily in a mile and three-quarters gallop. Julius cantered twice with Bombastes, but Peri cles, Flying Scud, Nike, and others of Mat Dawson's were trotting. A rumour is prevalent here that the Dukes of Hamilton and Newcastle have entered into a confederacy, and that the Houghton Down stud, belonging to the first named nobleman, will shortly be conferred to the care of Mat Dawson, who has already received Sultan to be pre pared for his future engagements. We predict an unques tionable "change for the better" for his Grace of Scotia, as most unwarrantable liberties have been taken with him hitherto. Claxton and Custard Castle were doing plenty, and are both going to Warwick. The 2-yr-old Boadicea has been sold out of Bloss's stable ; and a yearling colt by Claret, out of Maid of Erin, bred by Mr. Elmore, has just arrived there. Union Jack, too, who has been " serving" in Ireland, is now at young llayhoe's, to be put into train ing again. Lytham and A. D. Wagner have been "cut" General and Rust about a mile and a half gently and Grisette was schooling the yearlings. Dunsany took a mile and three-quarter's gallop. Commissioner did a mile only, and is growing into a nice horse. The animals sent to Tattersall's by Mr. R. Ten Broeck have returned here unsold, but do nothing. Paris, however, led the others a mild and three-quarters. Hopvine has arrived at J. Lowe's, where Threadbare is in capital long work for steeplechas ing. Several of Stevens's are at Shrewsbury. Warrener's continuo at slow exorcise. MALTON. STOCKBRIDGE. Distin, Uncas, and Vauban, each cantered twice this morning, and had a steady mile gallop. The yearlings were again led by Copenhagen and Pantaloon. It is posi tively contradicted here that the Duke of Hamilton has purchased either the Beckhampton or the Alvediston training grounds. In fact, at Danebury, it is openly stated that his Grace has given £3,000 to William Day to cancel the agreement. We have reason to believe, too, that the one with Mr. Treen has dropped through ; and, moreover, that his Grace will not only cease all business connection with Fothergill, Rowland, and Tom. Brown, but remove his horses to the care of Mat Dawson, at Newmarket, and form a confederacy with the Duke of New castle ! The Nailor has been specially prepared for Warwick next week, along with several others, and possi bly they may all be transferred there to the charge of Dawson. The Nailor galloped a couple of miles very fast this morning, after which the Residuary Legatee and Highland Sister went a mile and a quarter smart. Apsley, Avron, Archimage, Honesty, and Hurunui merely can tered. The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester day evening : NEWMARKET. A few of our horses have returned from taking part in Mr. Frail's turf carnival at Shrewsbury, but the bulk of those we sent to the Salopian capitol will not arrive until late to-morrow night. What between the absence of several of our trainers, and the very unsettled state of the weather, opezations on the heath have not been so active as they are wont to be; but next week we shall be very busy, though we are suro to havo a good few representa tives at Sam Merry's popular autumnal trysting under the castellated towers of Warwick. The Earl of Glasgow has sent another batch of yearlings, since our last report, to William Hurlock's, making seventeen within the last ten days or so, nine of which are colts. Tho whole of them are big-boned, blood like,promising youngsters. Our several Derby hors es are getting and on uncommonly well ; those that were recently in physic have resumed work, and the lot app ear t o b e quite healthy. This morning Sealskin was taking D'Estournel along, and Leybourne showing the way for Ravioli, the four going about a mile each. Dragon, Cerf Volante, Imperator, and Enchanteur cantered twice, and then galloped over three-quarters o f a m il e pretty ' smartly. Jasper and Hippia were following Dalesman a mile steadily ; and Bombastes took Julius, Pericles, and Niko a similar gallop. The Hermit and Knight of the Garter were merely cantering and trotting about. The Rake, however, had a nice mile gallop, and went very freely. Cecrops went a rattling mile and a half over Bury Hill—and John Dawson sent King Charm ing a couple of miles. Claxton led Custard Castle, and two others from Nash's establishment, about a mile and three-quarters. Hayhoe expects a couple of colt yearlings from Mentrnore next week, one by Lord of the Isles, out of Hermoine, and the other by King Tom, out of Emerald. Robin (late Robin Hood) has gone to Baron Rothschild's stud farm, and will not race again. MALTON. Grand Cross is all right again now, and was at good exercise this morning along with Knight of the Crescent. John Scott set Knight of St. Michael to take Taraban and Knight of the Grove a mile and a quarter fast gallop ; the Rejected rendering alike office to West Wind, and Amazon leading Rondinella. West Wind is a magnificent animal, and worth a long shot for the Derby, as he is of command ing size, and has a decided quality look about him. Grand Cross, however, is improving daily. We do not note much alteration for the better in Taraban at present. South 'piaster is leading the Whitewall yearlings, of whom, as we have already hinted, The Viscount (a sou of the Id.amr quis and Columbine) is the most promising. `rill u PAnson has a very taking yearling colt in , . B e e t _ ra L d who is own brother to Vedette, and this morning n . beautifully. None of Tom I'Anson's did w n o su lc al t : on the and Charles Peck had all his walking, as s to very roads.

Rosco follows Holstein a couple of miles steadily each day; and Elfeta accompanies Miss Williams a mile and a half. This morning Weatherguide, Best Returns, and The Priest, after cantering twice, galloped a mile. The Czar and Tynedalo were walking. ILSLEY. Young Tom Dawson has now fairly settled dowp in his now quarters here, and is very much liked. This morning he gave Brown Bread a very nice gallop of a mile and a half; and Sycee, Mockery, Domestic Beauty, and My Love went a mile and a quarter. He also had the follow ing yearlings in preparation :—Arimanes (b c by Van Galen—• Charlotte Russo), Courtier (b c by King of Trumps —Last Love), Grand Duchess (br f by Van Galen— Olga), Landscape (br c by Cavendish—Scarlet Runner), Trip thong (b c by Cavendish —Diphthong), and two or three others whose names and pedigrees we do not know at pre sent. Dover sent Lord Lyon a portion of the Horse Shoe Gallop this morning, but as he will not be wanted for months yet, his exercise is regulated so as to just to keep him in good health.

The influenza that prevailed in the Danobury stable has abated considerably, but not before two or three were com pletely prostrated, and the yearling brother to Monarch of the Glen (Loudon) succumbed to inflammation. Th o Derby nags Vauban, Uncas, and Distin, are merely trot ting this week, and the old horses are-at rest, barring Co penhagen and Pantaloon, who con tintu to tutor the young sters, which number about 10 at exercise each morning., Toni Brown is at Slirewzbury with Wild Aguesand Greer,. back, but in his absence the Nailer has done well for W ar _ wick, under the care of Harry Hawes, the head lad.

Podarg,ns, this mornicg, led El Cid and Impirator a mile gallop, twice ; and Graciosa followed Monolith a mile and three quarters. Some of Watson's, including Louisa, have had the influenza, but are getting all right again. Strathconan continues to school Plaudit and Rose, and they are doing uncommonly well. The yearlings, especially Virtue and Lady Hope, are exceedingly promising. Lozengo and Raunds went two miles to-day. Zenobia, Bob Chambers, and Eloise trotted. Moldavia and Minnette galloped a couple of miles, Bumble Kite was being led about. Beatrice cantered freely. SELECTIONS FOR WARWICK AUTUMN BEETING.

Some XIC since there was buried at a Roman Catholic cemetery in Essex a coffin, which was said to con tain the remains of a Frenchman named Vidal Douat, but which, on being opened, was found to be empty. It was then proved that Douat (who had insured his life for a large sum in a Paris office) came to this country, bought a ready-made coffin, which he had lined with lead so as to be as heavy as if a corpse were within, took it by train to the cemetery, represented that it contained the remains of Vidal Douat (him self), followed it to the grave, and thus obtained a certificate of interment. This certifi cate was presented by his wife in support of her claim to the insurance money, but suspicions being excited, inquiries were made, and Douat was even tually arrested on the Continent, and is now taking his trial at Antwerp. There are about fifty witnesses to be examined. , SSE, 100 100 100 all 100 ►OO 102} 104 I 19
