MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is well supplied with floating capital, but there is a very small demand for it for commercial purposes. The rates are consequently very easy at 4 and 4k per cent. for the best short dated paper. Loans, in the Stock Exchange are in request at 4 per cent. prem. day to day, owing to the settlement now in progress. The Stock Exchange Markets generally present a steady appearance, but the business chiefly nego tiated has been in connection with the arrangement of the bi-month]y settlement. Some of the specula tors, who recently operated for a fall in prices, have O versold, and the repurchasing has caused an im provement, especially in railway shares. The funds are firm, and Consols have advanced k per cent. to 89 1 for money, and to 89i a for the account. Gold, amounting to £6,000, was taken to the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The Tasmanian, from the West Indies, has ar rived with £139,433. At the twenty-seventh half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Victoria, held at Melbourne on the 7th August last, the balance-sheet to the 30th June submitted showed an available balance of £39,065 3 5., out of which a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was declared, £25,000, leaving £14,065 3s. to be carried forward. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week are, in several instances, more satis factory. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, a moderate amount of business has been done in win ter goods, and there has been some inquiry for spring fabrics. At Manchester cloths and yarns bare been in fair request at a slight advance. In the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Notting ham there has not been much variation, but a more cheerful tone has prevailed in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, owing to the more settled state of affairs in Ger many, money-orders for those markets, which had been previously counterbalanced, having been again issued.

It is a very gratifying circum stance that the high . opinion we expressed of his merits has been universally approved by our readers. Our purpose has not been to flatter Mr. FIELD, or t to indulge in anything akin to a fulsome eulogy. He is far above and beyond aught of this kind. As faithful chroniclers of passing events, we have re corded the facts of his public career, being perfectly content to leave our contemporaries and posterity to do him justice. Recent occurrences, especially in connection with the Atlantic Cable Banquet, at Liverpool, have again called attention to the name of Mr. FIELD. It will be remembered that he was officially noticed in that brilliant commemorative occasion by the noble lord who presided. The regret was expressed by the distinguished chairman that it was not in the power of her Majesty, Queen VICTORIA, to bestow the well-earned honour of Knighthood on Mr. FIELD, coupled with the avowed opinion that if it were tendered to that gentleman it would probably be declined. We are not in the councils of Mr. FIELD, and know nothing of his private convictions with regard to regal honours. It is not for us, therefore, or, in deed, for any one but himself, to state how far he may agree on that subject with Mr. GEORGE PEA BODY. Neither is it to be presumed that the titled presiding officer of the banquet at Liverpool had held any communication with Mr. FIELD touching this matter, because, if he had done so, he would undoubtedly have announced it to the guests at that memorable board. No one could suppose that Mr. FIELD knew that any allusion would be made to him, or, that, if he had a right to infer it, he would offer any suggestions with reference to the part he has taken, from the inception of the idea and commencement, to the successful close of this world-wide enterprise. What Mr. FIELD has done in the work of laying the Atlantic Telegraph Cable is before the nations ; and no patent of nobility can add one jot or tittle to his hard-won honours. There stand the facts on the fair pages of history; and there they will stand as long as the ocean rolls its waves, or the electric flash shall pass through its wide and deep waters. It cannot, and will not, be denied that Mr. FIELD was one of the first men, either in England or America, to move in this matter. It was he who drew up the first papers. He obtained the first subscriptions. He persevered when almost all others gave way. He crossed and recrossed the bil lows, beneath which the wire was to be laid, oftener than any other man, for the sole purpose of per fecting those plans without which the work would never have been done. He bore the scoffs and sneers of unbelievers, the cold rebuffs of calculating financiers, the callous indifference of the unthinking mass, the jealousies of rival interests, the secret and avowed hatreds of national animosities, through winter and summer, through sunshine and storm ; and, in the midst of all this, he never fal tered for a day —no, not for an hour.

Anglo-American Time:, we have no complaint to make with regard to the course of British states men and publicists toward Mr. FIELD. It is for them to decide as to the standard of duty in this case. They are as well aware as we are that all they and we may say and do in such a public con cern must be passed in review by posterity. If they have done justice to Mr. FIELD, well. If not, pos terity will do it for him.—Anglo-America n Times. r, BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES '4 °VtiksIMEXT FUNDS. a 89 1:),.4 Cent. Consols LI% li, 1 a ccount, Nov. 8 Per C ott.

MARK In the country markets, held on Saturday, the demand for good and fine dry wheats ruled steady, at full prices ; but as regards damp produce, the trade was in an active state, on former terms. Fine barley was firm in price ; but middling qualities sold heavily at barely late rates. For other articles the demand ruled quiet, at late quota tions. On the Continent, the trade for wheat and flour rules firm, at full quotations. At Now York the amount of busi ness done in wheat and flour for export to Great Britain is small. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week, were but moderate. The imports purchased con sisted of 21,352 quarters of wheat ; 3,596 barely; 36,374 oats ; 30,000 linseed ; 1,592 raps and oil seeds.; 375 sun dry seeds ; and 2,065 sacks of flour.

The cake trade was firm, and American qualities realised an advance of 2s. 6d. per ton. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day was very moderate, and the total supply of home-grown produce on offer was somewhat restricted. There were several buyers from Yorkshire and Liverpool in attendance, and the supply of wheat was taken off readily, at an advance in price, as compared with Monday last, of fully is. per quarter. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. Dry parcels were in request, and changed hands at rather more money. Damp produce was firm in price. Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, and transac tions were concluded on French account. Prices were rather higher than on Monday last. Spring corn afloat realised full quotations. The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. Fine parcels changed hands at fully late rates. Secondary anti inferior qualities wero dull, at the recent decline in their value. _ . There was a fair demand for malt at late rates. The market was moderately supplied with oats. There was a good sale for most qualities at an advance in the quotations of is. per quarter.

For ever hearseing off some of it, more yet comes to hand to await its cemetery turn. Under the best cf circumstances, sores and sickness, internal disease and external maiming, are hard to bear. They who have nursed where ail that wealth could command and affectionate service offer, know yet what it is to watch by day and night for one moment's light of ease, to dispel the clouds of weariness and pain which have made the sufferer's life mise rable. But when suffering present, and painful to body and soul, comes upon the lot of those to whom all life has been a struggle ; when it is to be endured under shelter grudged, food stinted, medical aid made cheapened piece work, medicines prescribed by contract, left to be adminis tered by the ignorant, and very often by tho drunken ; when the sick pauper becomes but one drop of a large lake of sickness pumped into the parochial reservoir to be tended, comforted, or any way aided, by an ill-appointed live machinery of the coarsest and least sympathetic material ; when the dying aro for ever in company with the dead, and t he lot of all tends—for any effort made to prevent it— to more suffering and then death, the picture is one revolt ing to humanity.

MANSION-HOUSE. ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—Francis Allen and Fanny Ellis were charged, before Mr. Alderman Finnis, with as Faulting a police-constable under the following circum stances : City Constable 853 said that about 12 o'clock on Satur day night he saw the female prisoner, who was a prosti tute, in Bishopsgate-street Without, and he desired her to go away. She refused, and when he endeavoured to move her on she caught hold of his hand in her teeth and bit him severely. He then took hold of her, when she threw herself down, screaming and biting him on the leg. There was a large crowd collected, and the male prisoner attempted to rescue the female from him. He struck the witness on the ear and knocked him down twice. Another constable came up, and he took him into custody, when the prisoner attempted to escape. The female prisoner was very violent, and it required two constables to take her to the station. Another constable deposed that he found the female prisoner struggling on the ground, but he saw nothing of the assault. The prisoners both denied the charge, and the female said that the first witness knocked her down without any provocation. • They were fined 10s. each, or in default seven days. EMBBZZLEMENT.—Richard Waddington was charged with embezzling £416 14s. 2d., the property of his em ployers. . . . From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was agent for a large flax warehouse in Manchester, and that although his salary was only £2O his income averaged £8 a week. On the 10th inst. a letter was received by the manager of the firm from the prisoner, admitting that he had em bezzled a large amount of money, and praying his inter cession, stating at the same time that he would pay £3 a week off his commission, and sell his furniture to meet his defalcation. ' • Mr. Lewis, senior, attended for the prosecution, and two cases of embezzlement to the amount of £76 were fully proved. The other charged were not proceeded with, and the prisoner was committed for trial . MARLBOROUGH-STREET , A VIOLENT SCENE IN A HAYMARKET SUPPER-ROOM.— Margaret Prescott, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Mr. Kalinski, artist in glass works, at Wade-lane, Leeds. Mr. Kalinski said—Being in town on a visit to his brother, he went with him to the Argyll-rooms on Saturday night, and afterwards went with him to supper at the re freshment rooms, No. 66, Haymarket. The prisoner was there with another female and two gentlemen. The gen tlemen left, and the prisoner and her companion came and sat by me and my brother, and asked us to stand come supper. I refused, and then the other woman made use of very bad language, and prisoner said, "If you don't I'll throw this glass at you,"and she went to the table and took up a glass and deliberately threw it at me, cutting my head very badly. I lost a great deal of blood. I think it a most scandalous thing that because a person who goes to a place to take supper does not think proper to treat persons of the prisoner's class that they are to be treated in such a way. My friend went after the other female and held her, but the landlord took her part and she got away. We have as much right in the place, even if we are Jews, as anybody else, and I think the landlord's con duct most u niustifiable. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—l was attended by a doctor (Dr. Tothill, the divisional surgeon), and think it fortunate that I am still alive, as it is a bad wound. Mr. H. Kalinski gave similar evidence to his brother, and went on to say—" The prisoner and her companion were very violent. Knives and forks and glasses were thrpwn at us, and were flying about the room. I seized the pri soner's companion, and the landlord struck his hand to release her. I lost my hold and she got away. I have every reason to believe that women are encouraged to the place by the landlord for the purpose of preying on cus tomers. Police-constable Evans, 113 C—Hearing a smashing of glass in the Haymarket I went to No. 66, and the prisoner was given into my custody by the prosecutor, who was smothered in blood. The prisoner said it was her companion who threw the glass at the prosecutor, and called a witness, a waiter at the rooms, to support her assertion, but the waiter admitted that he was only present during part of the time that the glass throwing was going on. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l believe the prosecutor's statement, and I shall fine the prisoner £3 or a month. The prosecutor appears to have got amongst a nice set of people, and such a man as the landlord ought not to be allowed to have a license. THE CIRCULAR NUISANCE.—The following letter was handed this morning to our reporter by Mr. Tyrwhitt : " Abbey-road, N.W., Oct. 13. "I venture to forward for your inspection a circular left at my house last evening purporting to be issued by a firm called Clay and Co., of Regent-street, in reference to a sale of cotton goods, which they state formed part of the stock of Vv ilsburg, Spursfield, and Corven,' bankrupts, of Can non-street West, E.C. Especially I would call your atten tion to the highly objectionable nature of the envelope in which these circulars are issued, doubtless used to call special attention to the contents. In the ' London Direc tory' of 1865 and 1866, there is no such firm to be found as that whose stock is said to have been purchased.—l am, sir yours obediently,—" The writer enclosed his card. The circular is one of the usual kind respecting a "Sublime Stock of Silks" for sale at the usual "Alarming Sacrifice." THAMES. FURIOUS DRIVING.—THE MARINER SHIPWRECKED ON SHORE. - Capt. Angus M'Kennon, the master of a ship, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and furiously driving a horse and chaise. Nicholas, a police constable, No. 36 11, stated that last night he saw the prisoner driving a horse and chaise at a most furious and reckless pace along the High-street, Whitechapel, and he drove against the posts of the re tiring place in the middle of the road. The shafts of the chaise were broken to pieces, and the prisoner and his lady were both thrown into the road, and were much hurt. He raised them from the ground and took the prisoner into cus tody. The prisoner was very drunk and quite incapable of taking care of himself or driving a horse and chaise properly. Mr. Paget—At what pace was he driving ? Witness—About 10 miles an hour and very wildly. Mr. Paget—Were there any horses and vehicles about the street ? Witness —Not at that time; there was nothing about The prisoner - I deny being drunk. I could not pull the horse in. I can steer a ship very well, but I could not steer the horse ; it got out of its course a point or two, and would not obey the helm. Mr. Paget—ls there any doubt about the prisoner being intoxicated ? Nicholas—None whatever, sir. There is a large erection in the middle of the street, and he drove right upon it, and both shafts were smashed up in a moment. Mr. Pagot said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he had put no one in dangeibut himself, and that there were no vehicles about at the time. He would take into consi deration that the prisoner brought a severe punishment upon himself by his recklessness and inebriety, and that being so he would discharge him, but in doing so he must say it was not very creditable for the master of a ship to be drunk on a Sunday night, and to drive recklessly along a pulAic thoroughfare. A NEW LIFE OF GARRICK.—Mr. Percy Fitzgerald promises, in January, a new and complete Life of David Garrick, iu which his claims to recognition for social gifts, privato worth, generosity and virtue, as well as Thatfor dra matic. ability, will be put forward a nd insisted on. there is an opening for such a work, says the Athenown, single glance at the meagre accou nts of Murphy and Davies will show.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, in fair condition. On the whole, the trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, but of improved quality. The supply from Ireland was on the increase. From Scotland, however, no stock was received. Prime breeds changed hands freely, at full currencies. Otherwise the trade was heavy, on rather lower terms. The top quo tation was 5s 4d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,300 short horns, &c., from other parts of England GOO various breeds, and from Ireland 290 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was again limited for the time of year. Prime Downs and half-breds were in good request, at full quotations. Heavy sheep, however, were dull, and 2d per 81bs lower than last week. The highest quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs. Calves were in short supply and fair request, at late rates, via., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs.

The Newmarket meeting last week was full o interest and excitement, the commencement of which was the unfortunate and fatal accident which befel Mr. Ten Broeck's Fitzroy on Monday whilst running in his match against Pericles, the more serious as he was winning in a canter, and had previously been backed for large' sums by his owner for next year's Derby. The Cesarewitch brought out a field of 25, and upon the num bers being hoisted Proserpine became a warm favourite, as little as 3 to 1 being accepted in many quarters, whilst Chepstow and Lecturer had a great many supporters at their respective prices of 7 and 10 to 1. After a fine race from the Bushes with the first four—all3-yr-olds—Lecturer proved himself one of the best horses of his year by winning cleverly, and landed a stake for his party estimated at little less than £lOO,OOO. The Marquis of Hast ings, it appears, wins nearly half that sum, whilst John Day and Mr. Wilkinson, to whom the horsy belongs, win large sums. Mr. Swindells' filly was only beaten a neck for second place. The excite ment of this great handicap had scarcely cooled down before it was disagreeably (to the backers of horses) increased by the defeat of Achievement, who, giv ing away Glb., was beaten a head from Plaudit, whose ow. ner had such a good opinion of him for next year's Derby that a large commission executed in town on his behalf was ,, the principal feature of the betting during the week intervening between the First and Second October Meetings. In both this instance and on the ensuing day for the Middle Park Plate, where she had to succumb to the Rake, her partisans have had a fearful time of it, as odds of 3 and 2 to 1 laid in both cases made a serious inroad into their exchequer. My impression is, like scores of other good two-yr-olds, she has been literally run off her legs, and will never be heard of again successfully. Not one animal in a hundred will do the work she has been asked to do throughout the season ; indeed about the only one I recollect who turned out a first-class three•yr-old after such punishing performances, was Thormanby. It appears that Mr. Sutton has challenged Count La grange to run a match with Lord Lyon against Gladiateur at a difference of 141 b at the next Newmarket meeting, which has been declined. A great deal of unpleasantness was caused on Thursday by the unconditional withdrawal of Purchase, after running a dead heat with Easby in a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each. The betting was 6to 4 agst the latter, whilst 7to 1 was laid against Purchase. The following is the owner's explantion _ _ "Newmarket, Thursday. " Gentlemen, —I fear I have this afternoon committed a mistake in not running off the dead heat between my mare Purchase and Easby—most unwittingly on my part; for really, to tell the truth, I was ignorant of the rules con cerning dead heats. I merelj consulted my own interests, and finding that, though I had backed both, I won most by Easby, 1 ordered my mare to go home without thinking any more of the matter. The only answer I can make is to place my mare Purchase at the disposal of the stewards to run off the dead heat to-morrow. I shall be perfectly satisfied with any decision they may come to.—l am, gen tlemen, &c., " HENRY CHAPLIN." It is a great pity that Mr. Chaplain did not allow the dead heat to be run off, or divided the stakes, as by doing so he would have given universal satisfaction. However, ho did everything in his power by placing himself entirely - - • - in the hands of the Jockey Club, who decided the race in favour of Easby. The most noteworthy feature of Friday was Baron Rothschild's running Janitor in a Seventy Pound Plate, which he won in a canter, and in conse quence allowing him to be claimed for the 300 sous ho was entered to be sold for in that race. The Cambridgeshire with its 101 acceptances is a difficult nut to crack Between the top and bottom weights there is at first sight the alarming difference of four and a-half stones, but many of the horses handicapped would not be in the race with any weight on their back, and it will answer my,, present purpose to discuss the chances of the following eighteen hurses, from whom I think the winner is likely to spring. Age st. lb. Trainers. Master Richard X 1 Tomahawk 3 6 0 Hayboe. Etoile Filante 3 7 4 In France. Duke of York 3 7 4 Blanton. Caithness 3 7 3 Price. Claxton Paris .5 6 12 Pryor. Abergeldie Scarborough Scheldt 4 6 9 Bloss. Sidewind ... Acttea, ... 3 6 6 Drewett. Ambition 3 6 0 J. Hayhoe. Thalia 3 5 9 W. Goiter. Chepstow Black Prince Proserpine 3 5 7 H. Goater. Master Richard, who was first favourite for the Grea Eastern Railway Handicap, and, as is customary nowadays with animals supported by the public was not started for it, is, I should think from the state of the market, likely to be an absentee for this event also, otherwise he must have a great chance, as he has a wonderful tarn of speed over this distance of ground. Xi belongs to Sir Joseph Hawley, one of the most popular sportsmen of the day, and is decidedly one of the best class horses in the race. As a two year old his performances were first-rate, and he was always considered a better horse than Blue Ribaud when they were together in the late John Osborne's stable, but un fortunately he was not engaged as a three year old in any of the principal weight for age races of this season. Since ho came into the possession of Sir Joseph for a large EMU of money at the late Mr. Osborne's sale, he has only appeared in public on two occasions, and as he did not figure conspicuously in the City and Suburban Handicap, the best test of his form is a reference to the - Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, when carrying 7st 71b he ran second to Sultan, 4 yrs, who only gave him 10Ib for the year; and it should not be forgotten that, in this field of 21 horses, he gave to Plutus, beaten two lengths from him. and who ran third, no less than 211 b. Toma hawk is likely to represent the Baron. Etoile Filante is no unworthy representative of the French division, and a repe tition of Palestro's victory with him is by no means out of the question. The Duke of York had won the October Handicap a long way from home, and is sure to distin guish himself again this tourney. Caithness and Chepstow have already been made notorious, but there is a great probability of the latter becoming distinguished as well ; indeed it is only a question of market operations to in sure the latter, in my opinion, being enrolled amongst the Cambridgeshire celebrities, notwithstanding " his rolling about so much." Claxton is reported to be a good thing, but with Paris fit and well the American has a chance second to none, and he only wants to be in the same form as when he won the Earl Spencer's Plate last year, with Bst 21b, in a canter by two lengths, beating the Queen of Trumps and 20 other horses, giving Lord Bateman's mare 2 yrs and 51b weight. Any demonstration in his favour is decidedly worth following. Abergeldie and Proserpina are a danger ous pair, but my present impression is that the former will turn out the real" Simon Pure." Scarborough, who is very quiet just now in the market, is reported to be one of William Day's certainties, and no trainer makes fewer mis taxes than he does ; but at present I know very little about the horse. Scheldt will like the course, and should he re present the stable must have an outside chance. Side wind and Thalia have been reserved to bring off a good stake, and whichever is at the post will certainly get a situation, if it does not absolutely win. Acteaa is running into form, and of all the Cesarewitch starters I believe most in her chance. Ambition is very healthy in the market, and on her last year's form is best in of any of the 3 yr olds, but 1 doubt if she is as good as she was last season. Black Prince is well enough in, and as from his Goodwood Stakes running he cannot stay, will be more likely to perform respectably over a course like this. However, at this pre sent time of writing, my preference is for X I, Paris, Aber geldie, and Tomahawk, but it will be soon enough to come 'to a final conclusion about the race next week. The meetings of the present week include Cheltenham, Harrow, and Hereford, but I can say very little about them. At the first named, which is judiciously limited to one day, Mr. Brayley has only to send ENDSLEIGLI to secure the Gloucestershire Stakes. Harrow, on Tuesday and Wednesday, under the management of Mr. J. F. Ver rall will be a nice out for Londoners, but has too much plating form for me to make any selection. Hereford occupies Thursday and Friday. I think DUET will Win the Herefordshire Stakes ; and on Friday MISS ELIZA BETH ought ought to win the Nursery Handicap Plate, according o running in the Nursery Plato at York, good second to Ines. w here oho was a A FRESHMAN.

Alleged Extensive Robbery and Reception of Stolpn Property. At the Mansion-house this afternoon William Henry Spencer, tailor, of 1, Virginia-place, Virginia-row, Bird cage-walk, and George Peters, of 43, Old Castle-street, Shoreditch, shoemaker, were brought before Mr. Alderman Finnis on suspicion of having stolen 13 pieces of blue cloth, seven pieces of black ditto, and seven pieces of linseys, from the warehouse of Mr. Moses Moses, Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, value £l4O. Moses Moses, of 30, Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, metal merchant, was also brought up on a charge of having in. his possession at his marine store warehouse in Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, and at his private residence, 30, Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, a large quantity of jewellery and other property to a considerable amount, value at pre sent unknown, all supposed to have been stolen. A day or two since Moses reported at the station that his warehouse had been entered with skeleton keys, and a large quantity of blue pilot and other cloth stolen. The City detective force inquired into the matter, and in looking round the premises where the alleged robbery had been committed they observed some suspicious goods, and upon making further search they discovered a mass of property of all descriptions, for the possession whereof Mr. Moses Moses refused to give any account, and Sergeant Moss at once took him into custody. On making further search the police found a large quantity of jewellery, combs, brushes, gutta-percha, ladies' companions, military saddles, portmanteaus, copper, brass, &c. In a sack three gold watches, and under 9, heap of old rags a plated dinner service, of Birmingham or Sheffield manufacture. The dis covery of this property of course led the officers to search the house where the prisoner's family resided in Gravel-lane, and there the quantity and value:of the things found was really marvellous, there being a great quantity of cloth, now, in pieces, gold and silver watches, diamonds, set and unset, chains, ear-rings, ornamental combs, nuggets, gold and silver ore, and valuable property of almost every de- scription. Evidence as to the taking Spencer and Peters into custody on suspicion of stealing tho cloth was offered by the police, but the Alderman was of opinion that it was insufficient, and ordered them to be discharged. Moses was remanded for a week. - Miss Manyatt's New Novel. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Strt,—l have received a letter of such gross abuse from one who signs himself " Senex," in reference to Miss Alarryat's novel, " For Ever and Ever," that I consider it desirable in the interests of lite. rature to denounce this impostor who takes shelter under the anonymous, and thus tries to escape the punishment he so well merits. He signs himself " Senex." His age ought to have taught him a little decency as well as more good sense. Let him give me his real name, and not in this sneaking, un manly way attack a lady whom all who know respect.—Yours truly, RICHARD BENTLEY. New Burlington-street, Oct. 15, 1866.

THE HEAD OF RICHELIEU has been discovered in the possession of an ancient family of Bretagne, and has been forwarded to the Minister of Public Instruction for presentation to the Emperor. The Paris correspon dent of the Morning Star gives the following curious ac count of the affair :—" The head was separated from the corpse during the first revolution, at which period the popu lace was seized with a mania for breaking open the tombs of the aristocracy. M. Fortoul was the first person to whom it occurred to restore the head to the remains of the once mighty Cardinal, but, in spite of all his exertions, he failed to do so. The present Emperor, with the help of M. Durny, the Minister of Public Instruction, has been more successful. Authentic documents proving its identity have been sent up with it. It appears that the head of the Cardinal was bagged by a hosier of the Rue St. Denis during the breaking open of his tomb. The mob gott into cut the coffin, and, trampling upon the embalmed corpse, cut 0.1 it in pieces. The head was instantly taken protstsmity,o hid it under his clothes, proud and happy to be PP t by the hosier, who, taking a favourable of so valuable a relic.
