MARKETS.--This Day. MART( LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-clay was very moderate. Owing to a considerable importation of oreign wheat the demand for all qualities was somewhat inactive ; nevertheless, good and fine wheat changed hands at fully prices. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat, in which a fair amount of business was transacted at full currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at late rates. Fine malting barley was dull; but iuferior qualities sold heavily on easier terms. Malt changed hands to a fair extent at high prices. Oats were in fair supply. Most qualities sold steadily at fully late rates. Beans and peas were firm, at quite late cut-tondos. Flour was in fair demand, at quite late rates. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

TEA.--The public sales which terminab to-day have gone off with considerable animation, and the advance ex hibited at the commencement of the auctions has been fully sustained for all good qualities. SUGAR.—Thero have been no public sales of importance, but in the private market prices generally are well sup ported. Refined goods are dull and at slightly easier prices. COFFEE.—The speculations in both plantation and native Ceylon have been to a fair extent at late rates. For other descriptions no quotable alteration has taken place as re gards values. RlCE.—Business has been quiet, owing to the unwilling ness of holders to reduce prices. The chief inquires have been for cleaned descriptions. SALTPETRE.—There have been no dealings of import ance, operations having been deferred until to-day, when a ratherlarge quantity will be offered for public competition. British refined is quoted 255. 6d. per cwt. TALLOW.—A fair amount of business has been done at steady prices.

Continued inactivity prevails in discount circles, and the quotations are tending in an easier direc tion. The floating capital of the bankers and brokers is very abundant, and as the demand for accommodation is very light, 4- per cent. is now the general rate for the best descriptions of short dated paper. On the Stock Exchange loans from day to day are being offered at 3 and 3f per cent. The markets for stocks and shares have not Opened with a very lively appearance, but there has, nevertheless, been some active buying of American Securities, and Erie shares have advanced this morning nearly 3 per cent. Turkish Fives are also at enhanced quotations, but the English Funds are slightly depressed, and Consols are 89i for money and the 9th inst., and 891 for the November account. The sum of £2(),000 in sovereigns was received at the Bank of England yesterday from Brazil. The return issued this morning by the Bank of England directors shows that in the main the liabi lities of the establishment have been largely in creased during the past week, in consequence of the excessive demand for money at the end of the quar ter and for the 4th of the month.

With_ regard to the suspension of the Bank of Upper Canada letters received state the liabilities amount to £540,000, and the assets nominally to £900,000, consisting apparently of real estate and bills of doubtful value. The Stock Ex c h ange Committee have appointed Monday, the Bth inst., a special settling day in the shares of th e M ont Cenis Railway Company (Limited). The quotations are to be marked in the twice a week list. An application has been made to Mr. Peake, the chief clerk in Vice-chancellor Stuart's Court, by the liquidators in the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to obtain an order to enforce the immediate payment of the £lO call. The chief clerk posi tively refused to interfere with the decision of the Vice- Chancellor, who had ordered that the cal should not be enforced prior to the 3d of November next, when the whole case will come on for argu ment in open court. It is stated that a number of shareholders in Smith, Knight, and Co. (Limited), have determined to form an association to resist certain transac tions which they aver are calculated to affect their interest, and the committee will shortly convene a meeting to ar range proceedings to carry out their object. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. The public sales of tea, however, have gone off with rather more animation, and prices have been we ll sustained. Sugar has been inactive, blut , at steady mates. C o ff ee has been in fair de andi quotatons. and superior qualities fully sustain previous In rice the dealings have been re stricted b y the high rates demanded by holders, while tallow has oontinued iu moderate request at steady quotations for both present and forward delivery.

EMPTY BOXES.—This will be, I know, but a beg garly account. There are few things in the world so hopelessly dreary to look upon as are empty boxes. It is a truism to say that you can get nothing out of them. A full box may Le picturesque, poetical. It may be Pandora's box, or one of Portia's caskets. It may be the Iron Chest, or Somebody's Luggage. It may be that notable trunk in which the mysterious Spanish Hidalgo, to whom Gil Blas was valet, kept his pistoles. It may be the coffer gorged of millions, of the Wandering Jew. It may be Antolycus's box, crammed with " ribbons, chains, and ouches," or it may be the chest with the spring lock immortalised in the history of Ginevra, and the ballad of the Mistletoe Bough, or it Tnay be the cowskin trunk in which Richard Crom well kept the " lives and fortunes of the people of Eng land"—in the shape of the addresses presented to him by the English municipalities when ho was Lord Protector of the Commonwealth—or it may be the; inscrutable sea chest astride which Washington lrving's Dutchman went to sea in a storm. In short, a box with anything in it will furnish a plot for a melodrama or a novel, inspire poets and painters, awaken cupidity,:excite ambition, fan the flame of love. With what wistful eyes have I scanned the great iron safe in a City counting-house ! With what rapture have I gazed on a lady's jewel box—the tiny casket with a patent lock, steel beneath, russia leather above—and pic tured the dainty gems within, their lustre prisoned in coffins of morocco lined with white satin ! Nor without a plea sant trembling -a hope not unmingled with fear—have I beheld the cash box which Mr. Elzevir, of Ludgate-hill, has produced from his drawer, when my account being audited, ho has been persuaded to draw a cheque in my favour. Sweet cash box, full of cheques, crisp bank-notes, gold and silver, and sometimes of acceptances of three months and I 0 I say that I have trembled, for it has been just within the bounds of possibility that Mr. Elzovir, a sudden spasm of hardness coming over his heart, might push his cash box back into the drawer, double lock it, arid suddenly remembering that my account was overdrawn, button up his pantaloons, and dismiss mo chequeless.— Dickens's " 44 the Year Round."

BOW-STREET. William Heath, late manager of the New Oxford-street branch of Messrs. Finney, Settle, and Co., coal merchants, was placed at the bar, charged with embezzlement. Mr. Collins, clerk to Messrs. Finney, Seale, and Co., stated that on Thursday in last week he called at the Oxford-street branch and asked the prisoner how it was that he had not accounted for the sum of £1 7s. paid to him by a customer, and he replied that he had kept it back in case ho should require change. He (witness) then asked him whether he had kept back any more, and he said, " No." On looking at the books he found that there ought to be the sum of £l3 ss. in hand, instead of which there was but £3 ss. Wit ness asked where the remainder was, and the prisoner ' said it was at home and that be bad taken it there for safety, Witness went home with him and ho handed over the £lO. The next day witness went down to the office, taking with him another clerk to take charge of the place. The prisoner said in November last he had lost a large sum of money, between £lO and £5O, and that he had since been trying to replace it, that he had from week to week kept back monies he ought to have paid in the week before, and then making it up the following week. He was thus gradually reducing his loss, and had he been enabled to go on till Christmas he would have replaCed the whole. He then gave in a list of his defalcations. The witness, in cross-examination by Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner, said he never had been aware until that day that the prisoner had previously informed the firm of any deficiency or loss, but he now understood that Mr. Scarf, another clerk, had some time ago been told by the prisoner that ho had lost £1.2 10s. That conversa tion took place in consequence of a letter 'received from the prisoner. Mr. Beard regretted to say that from inquiries that had been instituted since the prisoner had been given into cus tody that his defalcations were much more extensive than had been stated, and from a letter addressed to him, which had been delivered at the Oxford-street branch, it seemed clear where the money had gone to. The;letter alluded to was as follows : _ _ _ " Dear Sir,—For the Cesarewitch back Ethelred to win and for a place, and Breeze for a place. For the Cam bridgeshire, Moldavia to win and place, and Caithness for a place. You must do this at once.—l am, &c., . " To Mr. Heath." "J. H. KITCIIENEII. Evidence was then given that the prisoner had received £ll 10s. from a customer named Farr, £3 3s. from Mr. Tabb, 16s. from Mr. James, and £7 16s. from Mr. Sexton, none of which had been accounted for. Mr. Abrams asked that the prisoner might be remanded for a week, at the expiration of which he should bo in a position to show that the prisoner's defalcations had been known to the firm for some time. ➢ir. Vaughan said four cases had been proved against the prisoner, and he should commit the prisoner for trial. He would, however, admit the pisoner to bail on his giving two sureties for £5O each, and his own recognis ances for £lOO. IVESTIIINSTER. BRUTAL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—AIfred Wise, a man about 25 years of age, was charged with wantonly attacking Hellen Dillon, a respectable young woman, and seriously ill-treating her. Complainant said—l live at 3, Yeoman's-road, Hampton, and am a dressmaker. I left my employment at a lady's house at 10 last night, and went to my sister's to supper. I was returning home with her through Broughton-cres cent, when the prisoner suddenly made his appearance from behind a cab and threw his arms round my neck. I pushed him off as well as I could, when he dashed me furiously on the ground and cut my head very badly, and all my hair is clotted with blood. Mr. Selfe—Dou you know anything of him ? Complainant—No, lie is a stranger to me. Mr. Sella—Was he drunk ? —I think not.

Mr. Selfe—lf you make mistakes of this sort they must be at your own risk. You are committed for 14 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. A Strange Freak• At the Ashford petty sessions on Tuesday (before Mr. W. P. Burrs) the following peculiar case was heard : Sarah herring, 23, cook, in the service of Mr. Clark Hills, Singleton, Great Chart, was charged with stealing six forks, the property of her master. It appeared that on the previous Thursday even ing, about half-past 8 o'clock, the prisoner came to the parlour door, where the family were sitting, and said the housemaid heard some one walking upstairs. A search was made, and sundry articles of female wearing apparel were found done up, and dropped in different rooms, as if by some one who had made a hasty flight from the house. In one of the bundles was rolled up six silver forks. A search was made over all the premises, but no one was found. The next night, about 9 o'clock, the housemaid came running to the parlour, saying that Sarah (the pri soner) was screaming in the garden. A general rush was made there, and the prisoner was found sitting against the wall of the house outside, bleeding from several cuts on the back of one of her hands. She complained of being in great pain, and a doctor was o r waist with ei l two over sent for from Ashford. She said that a short man, dressed in dark clothing, with a loose cloak, a belt round d hat, hi and a v his ist face, had had caught hold stuck in it, a " Mul -1 e of her, and declared ' he would murder her for last night's work," and said, further, that if it had not been for her the house would not have been as it was then. She said that the man attempted to drag her along, and she clung with one hand to a post, and that he was going to cut her throat with a knife, but that she put her other hand round it, and that was ho w the cuts were caused. A policeman had been stationed on the premises from the preceding night, an d this official suggested to Mr. Hills that a stronger force should be sent from Ashford, and a messenger was sent there accord ingly. About 40 men were also hired in Great Chart to assist in searching the shrubberies and pre mises, and a minute search was also made of every room in the house, b u t the terrible burglar could not be found. The search was continued in the grounds all night, although the rain was pouring in torrents, and the whole p lace was kept until the xc th it e em g e ir n i t ,s . h o a e f d arrived, next day in a state of rgsmudroi surgeon, turmoil disbelief and f .lan anledhelexiipe'rel‘ssierd. hard, story, and on visiting the house again next day for the purpose of minutely examining her hand, he was quite convinced that the wounds had been in flicted by some small sharp instrument. He told the prisoner that he knew she had had some thing to do with the matter, that he was certain her story was false, and that she had better tell the truth, as she would be certainly found out. After a great deal of persuasion, the prisoner admitted that the whole affair had been got up for a " spree" by herself and the housemaid, and that the wounds on her hands wore inflicted with Mr. Hill's razor, which the housemaid procured from his bedroom br the purpose. The prisoner made -a long defence, in which she detailed the proceedings of herself and the house maid in a very humorous manner, and asserted that the housemaid latter, me aiwashowever, u quit it appears, was only 15 quite as bad as she was. years old, while the prisoner was 23. Mr. Burra committed the prisoner for a month, for misbehaviour in service, dismissing the charge s of stealing the forks.—Kentish Observer. LOCKING UP PAUPERS WITH CORPSES.—There seems to be no end to the details of workhouse mismanage ment. The public mind has already been thoroughlysick encd and disgusted by the horrible revelations which the London union houses has supplied, and now it creeps out that at Gateshead the dreadful practice has prevailed for years of locking up refractory paupers and corpses. The deadhouso at Gateshead workhouse has done duty also under a grim economy as a prisDner's cell ! How revolting this is to all feelings of common humanity. Even when there are no bodies in it the associations of such a place would be enough to make a solitary prisoner shudder with terror, unless possessed of strong nerves. Being locked up with a corpse alone is really sufficient in some constitu tions to produce madness, or at least to give the nervous system a shock from which it could never recover. None but the most callous embruted nature could pass through the ordeal altogether unmoved. Take into account also the physical dangers attending the practice, and it is hardly possible to conceive anything more heartless and cruel. It is neither more nor less than the propagation of contagious disease reduced to a system. Of course the execrable mode of punishment will at once be put an end to ; but what have the Visiting Committee been about not to have dealt with it before, and how is it that the master has persevered in the practice fur years without enforcing upon the guar dians the necessity fur other provision being made.

Ostregor led Actaaa a nice two mile gallop; and Leybourne was schooling Sealskin, but the litter goes short. Breadalbane, Broomielaw, and Out-and-Outer again went a mile and a half. Eakring was walking; Il Re Gaiantuomo led Paris and Peon in their work ; and the Derby colt, Fitzroy, was following them. Slender went a mile and three-quarters by herself. ; The Duke of Yolk galloped nearly two miles, and his action was all that could be deffred. Sultan and Saccharometer did a mile and a half smartly. Split-the-Difference took Lord Lyon a similar gallop over the Bury Hill, and Achievement did a mile. She improves in her action. Master Richard galloped a mile and a quarter, and Vauban went about a mile. Ambition was doing first-rate work, and Medina also. Knight of the Garter bid a rare good spin, but the Hermit went.steadily. The Ralcigal loped all a mile, as did Hippia, but Fiiponnier Went only three-quarters of a mile. Jasper took a gentle mile gallop, and Mat Dawson gave his two-year-olds similar exercise. Railways.

The order is understocd to be the pre liminary step to getting rid of the whole of the temporary clerks and writers now employed at Chatham dockyard.

Potomac and Rama were both in active work again this morning, and, after cantering twice, the former went a couple of miles, and the latter two miles and a half. Thalia was in longer and faster work, going a mile and three-quarters. Kilkenny led the two-yr-olds, and the yearlings are improving fast. Panacea, Pamunkey, Pro visor, Lady Sophie, and Don Basilio galloped a mile and a half; and Bandmaster, Bismarck, Don Basilio, Sister to Minie, Lady Lambton, Skylark, Gilead, Icicle, Bravura, and several others were in mile work. MALTON. War galloped two miles and a half this morning, led by Hobe, and accompanied by Westwick. Klarinska was eased in her work; and Brown Bread went a mile and a half steadily. Grand Cross is lame. RICHMOND. Zenobia had a good two mile gallop this morning, and Dagmar took Strathconan a similar distance. Moldavia went a mile and a half steadily, and goes remarkably well. Plaudit is progressing first-rate, and looks all the better for his sweat. He did a mile fast to-day, and is a real good colt. Rose galloped a mile smartly, and is growing into a beautiful mare. Lozenge took Newland and Blairgowrie over a mile ; and Louisa led Chatsworth and others in nice exercise. FYFIELD. The Flutter gelding led Savernake a mile and three quarters this morning; and Dulcimer and Bradamante both did two miles and a quarter at a great pace, both going uncommonly free, and pulling up sound and fresh. Dulcimer might possibly turn out to be the best of the twain. They are to be tried to-morrow, so it is rumoured here. Pepper's Ghost galloped a mile and a half, and the Splitvote colt trotted. Nimble, Adam Bede, and Countess Amy were in mile work. Staghound was still absent. LAMBOURNE. Regalia galloped two-and-a-half miles this morning, and Caithness led Chepstow a similar gallop. The latter goes along like a bird, and it is all nonsense about his not being ablo to stay, for he finished this morning like a lion, and the pace was great from starting to pulling up. He is the best bred horse in the Cesarewitch race; and at onetime people were equally as clamorous about Lord Lyon being a non-stayer. If anything stops Chepstow next Tuesday it will be metallic fever. Marksman and Beanstalk are doing first-class work for Newmarket. So is Pluto, but he is too moderate for the big handicap them next week.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO HARRY GRIMSHAW. -•••-- The following :appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : We are sorry to announce the death of the above celebrated jockey, who was thrown from his trap last evening, and met an untimely end. The accident took place close by the Paper-mills Gate, on the Newmarket side of Cambridge. It will be remembered that he was the jockey who piloted Gladiateur to victory in the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger. His death will be greatly regretted by the French party, with whom he was an especial favourite, and his loss will be much deplored on the turf, as he was one of the most upright and straightforward jockeys that ever rode a horse.

K t ythneasmtoeue the Of , the r ter du a mun ication from the vestry of St. Pan cras bv subject of securing Hampstead Heath was read on th e and the adjoining lands for the public benefit, and 1311 • ggestm g that negotia tions should bo entered into before the next session of Parliament by the Metropolitan Board of Works with Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., and also soliciting the ap pointment of memb ers f rom the Marylebone vestry to co-ope rate with them i n t a ki ng energetic measures for the above purpose. Mr. Nicholay said the object of this communication was a most i m p or t ant and desirable one, and bel i eve d t h e Metropolitan Board was fully alive to that fact, but they had no funds to negotiate with. hhe scheme would have to be carried out by an Act of Parliament, the same as in the cases of public parks. He thought the object ought to be taken earnestly up, as it would be a disgrace to them if liampstead-heath were lost to the public. After a short conference Mr. Nicholay moved that seyen delegates bo appointed to co-operate with the vestry of St. Pancras in the matter. Mr. Filmer seconded the resolution. Mr. Grange wanted to know where the money was to come from. Mr. Nicholay said it was proposed to make a metro politan rate. Mr. Tavener and other gentlemen supported the motion, which was carried unanimously. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—It is now pretty well settled that the Prince and Princess of Wales will not make their public visit to Norwich before the Wednesday in the festival week. After receiving ad dresses at the Guildhall, the royal visitors will proceed to the Wednesday morning concert in St. Andrew's Hall; and, at the conclusibn of the concert, it is expected that the prince will open a new drill hall which is being built for the use of the Norwich voluniteers. In consequence of an inquiry into the origin of a large fire at a tan yard at Lacken, the proprietor, M. Vauderkindcren, has been arrested and sent to prison. 3W .ch eir `or of .ed lid )Icl ich dy )r- of all of the on ing can rith me sty, Lnd, elf- .cif ials iin- Lion red nks itly the ops I in rich 'U a rieS the Div ,d— his • on the the was were y by Lao la d of pro- ain stod 'ass ken :her ned 100 st I 20 20i 10 100 1 100 WO 100 all 100 100 2n I 1061
