MABLBOROUGH-STREET. John Hall, potman in the employ of Mr. Geo. Bentley, of the Intrepid Fox, Wardour-street, Soho, was charged 'ith robbing his employer of a quantity of spirits. Mr. Bentley said that latterly he had missed a quantity of sherry, &c., from his cellar. - Yesterday, hearing that the prisoner's box, which was always kept locked, was very heavy, he suspected that some of his property was in it, and sent for a constable, and on the prisoner opening the box several bottles containing brandy and whisky were found—the value of the articles being between £2 and £3. Sergeant Cook, 76 C, proved finding the bottles con taining spirits in th e p r i soner ' s b ox, and taking him into custody. The prisoner, who had no answer to the charge, was committed for two months with hard labour. THAMES SSIUGGLING.—Thomas York, chief officer of the cattle ship City of Norwich, from Tonning, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with smuggling 7lbs. cf foreign manufactured tobacco, which had not paid the ditties of Customs. Mr. Hearne, examining officer of Customs, said he went on board the City of Norwich yesterday afternoon, and upon searching the prisoner's berth he discovered 7lbs. of compressed tobacco in a drawer, which the defendant said belonged to him. The importation of tobacco in such small quantities and in the form produced was forbidden by law. The Defendant—What the officer says is all right ; it's Day tobacco. Mr. Partridge—You are fined 355., the value and duty, or one week's imprisonment. Tho fine was paid. . _ A DISHONEST SERVANT.—EIIen Wilmott, a young Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing one merino red curtain, a child's muslin dress, and two lace collars, the property of Mr. Porter, a watchmaker, of 64, High-street, Poplar. Mr. Eliza Porter said the prisoner came to her several times for a situation, and said that she came from Ireland two months ago. She was at last induced to employ her, and her conduct was so vile that she discharged her yes terday evening, after six days' servitude, and, having missed several articles, called in a police-eonstable, who searched the prisoner's box, and found in it the articles above named, which she valued at 255. The prisoner, on being asked if she'had anything to say in her defence, said that one of the collars belonged to her, and not to her mistress. Mrs. Porter was recalled, and said both collars belonged to her. Qther property was missing. Mr. Partridge--The prisoner is remanded for a week Lot inquiries be made about her. WES THINS TER. A WORTHLESS APPRENTICE. —Charles Unsworth, 17, apprentice, was charged with stealing five pieces of marble value ss, the property of Mr. Thomas Henry Hartley, his master, 1, Earl-street, Wvstminster. Mr. Hartley said he had for some time past had his sus picions of the prisoner robbing him of trifling articles, and his general bad conduct induced him to watch him. On Saturday last, in company with prisoner and his foreman he went to his lodgings and there saw a box. He asked prisoner if it was his, and on his replying in the affirmative it was opened, and among other things found to contain .the marble in question made into an obelisk; the marble Was very choice and costly, and• was worth 55., but made up into the obelisk the value was about ono pound. Prisoner said, "'I took it be cause you stopped my pocket money." Witness did not give him into custody, because some of the workmen or boys must have helped prisoner to polish it, and he had endeavoured to detect his assistants, but failed. In reply to the Magistrate—Mr. Hartley said he was an apprentice from the City Union, and was a very bad boy ; the terror to the foreman, and the worst boy he had had in his employ for years. Mr. Arnold said he was disposed to treat this charge as disobedience of apprentice, and asked Mr. Hartley if he would have the indenture cancelled. Mr. Hartley said he should prefer such a course, and prisoner was remanded for a week that the City Union might be communicated with. • MONEY MARKET AIM COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have not made any alteration in the rate of discount, which con tinues at 7 per cent. The demand is not very active, but the quotations out of doors are firm, in consequence of the small supply of capital at the Command of brokers and others. Exceptional ope rations, however, take place at 6-2- per cent., thus indicating the easier tendency of affairs. The new Austrian loan for £10,000,000 is not, as was originally supposed, to be brought forward in this market. It is to be introduced at Paris and Frankfort by the Comptoir d'Escompte and the Vienna Credit Foncier. Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co. have announced the half-yearly interest on the Cienfuegos and Villa Clara (Cuba) Railroad 7 per Cent. Bonds. It is stated that the conversion of the internal debt of the Ottoman empire had reached nearly £ 2 1,000,000 sterling yesterday evening. The General Credit and Finance Company of London have received a communication from the Itriperial Ottoman Government, of which the fol lowing is a translation CO NVERSION AND UNIFICATION OF THE INTERNAL DEBTS OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. (Official Notice.) The Imperial Government taking into consideration the ci rcumstances which have impeded the progress of the co nversion, principally the cholera, which has scourged Co nstantinople, and the unforeseen delay in the fabri cation of the General Debt, has determined not to en fcrce the reduction of 10 per cent. which was applicable ' ll virtue of the terms of the Article 11 of the Law of the 19 th (31st) March, 1865, to the securities presented for conversion after the period of three months, and during t he second period of one month and a half, determined by s aid article. In consequence the securities of the internal debt will continue to be received for conversion without reduction P to the 19th (31st) December, 180, on the same terms, In the same form, and at the same places as before. At the expiration of this last period the operations of the cooversion will be closed irrevocably. F ive days after the definitive closing the c ou p ons f or in terest due on the non-converted securities will be paid at ecn etantinople, and the bearers will be entitled to interest °II those coupons from their due date to the day of pay kent at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.

PUNCH'S POCKET-BOOK FOR 1866—appears, as usual betimes in November and long before Punch's Almanack. For once the letter press is funnier than the illustrations. The nonsense-verses especially ! But, for that matter, the illustrations—even those of Tenniel—are verymuch below par. C. H. Bennett's are by far the most whimsical and are often irresistibly laughter-moving. The way in which he displays Mr. Punch, together with H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and Toby, always together in preposterous companionship at the head of all the departments of the Administration, no one can remark with any chance of preserving his gravity. Yet, for all that, in spite of the nonsense-vers es , an d in spite of Mr. 1866 ne sPeneillingth the Pock e t -b oo k of Mr. Punch for e mark, wh en j u d ged by Bente up to his own annual average standard of comicality. is hardly GUTCII'S LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC REGISTER AND ALMANACK FOR 1866 appears this time in the brightest scarlet leather covering. It is as full of facts and figures as an egg is of meat, or the core of a sunflower of seeds. It is a very world-in-little of information. There is no more reliable or more compre hensively useful pocket companion anywhere purchasable in the shape of so very compact a Register and Almanack. Taken into use on the next first of January, it is safe to be used continually, and to be preserved with Sealous care by its possessor until the thirty-first of the then ensyilig December. THE LONDON AND CONTINENTAL TIMES—or Time- Table, as it ought rather to have been called—has just now been re-commenced. Number One of a new series, we presume, under date this cur rent month of , November, is here submitted to our consideration. It is published at 4, Ave Maria-lane, and is purchasable, we should imagine, everywhere, as it ought to be. For it is in truth a marvel of utility and eco nomy and interest for any intending traveller upon the European Continent. First issued in May, 1862, for the Great International Exhibition, it is to be continued now, let us hope, indefinitely on into the future, seeing that it has been thus resolutely recommenced. Judged of by the variety and accuracy of its contents, it is certainly worthy of every encouragement. ?t THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16 1865. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) BARNETT T. LEUCHARS-PHAROAR'S SERPENTS, Mr. Malins, at the sitting of the Court, said his Honour had given leave to serve notice of motion for an injunction on the defendant to restrain his manufacture of articles of chemical composition, now known as Pharoah's serpents, but lie was instructed that the defendant asked for time to answer affidavits. Mr. Morris appeared for the defendant, and said he was informed his client had a complete answer to the case made by the plaintiffs, but the evidence which had to be obtained from Paris was not yet ready. He must, therefore, ask for time, and that the plaintiffs, who described themselves as residing out of the jurisdiction, might give security for costs. His Honour granted the application. The Burning of the Australian Ship Fiery Star, TIIE FATE OF THE SEVENTY PEOPLE IN THE BOATS. The fate of seventy of the crew and passengers who abandoned the homeward-bound Australian ship Fiery Star, in four of the ship's boats, after she was found to be on fire, has for months excited the greatest anxiety ; but from the official communica tion forwarded to the Secretary of the Admiralty, herewith annexed, there can now be very little doubt but that the whole of them perished. The Fiery Star, it will be remembered, sailed from Moreton Bay on the Ist of April, under the com mand of Capt. - William Hunter Yule; she was 1,345 tons burthen, and belonged to Messrs. James Baines, of Liverpool. At the time the disaster occurred, on the 19th April, she was running before the wind with a 12- knot breeze, being then in lat. 46.10 S., long. 170 W. Upon the fore-hatch being taken off the smoke ascended in clouds. In an instant all hands were summoned to the pumps, although the crew, under their officers, were prompt and vigorous in their exertions to batten down and secure every hatchway, the flames broke out through the port bow on the following day. The passengers and crew had been employed pumping water below throughout the previous day and night, hoping to extinguish the fire ; but the gas and steam had now reached the cabin, and the captain, thinking there was no chance of saving the ship, ordered all the boats to be got ready. At about 7 o'clock on the 20th the captain, most of the crew and all the passengers, with the exception of one, left the burning ship in four boats, leaving on board the chief officer, Mr. Sargent, and seventeen others, who had volunteered to remain on board, there not being sufficient room in the boats. Capt. Yule took with him the chronometers, charts, sextant, and compasses of the ship, leaving the chief officer with no means to navigate the ship. Mr. Sargent gave orders for the boats to lay by the side of the ship all night ; but on the following morning they were not to be seen. Sargent then took command, and those on board at once set to work and got under way the steam-pumps, and succeeded in checking the flames. The mate, Mr. Sargent, remained in charge of the ship till the 12th May, when they were taken off by the ship Dauntless, all safe ; and there is no doubt had the 70 people remained by the ship no harm would have occurred to them. A search was ordered to "be instituted by Sir Wm. Wiseman, Bart., Commander-in-Chief of the station at Auckland, for the helpless creatures, and the re sult is shown in the following letter received at the Admiralty :--- . " H.M.S. Brisk, Auckland, June 1. "Sir,—ln compliance with orders from Capt. J. P. Luco, R.N., dated the 16th ult., of which I encloso a copy, I have the honour to report that having left Auckland at 2 p.m. that day, I hove too about 20 miles off the Chatham Islands at sunset on the 19th, bore up at daylight next morning, and at noon reached Port Waitangi, where I an chored, finding that this was the principal place on the island, and the residence of Capt. Thomas, the resident magistrate. I found an American whaler and an English schooner here. Capt. Thomas could give me no tidings whatever of the missing people from the Fiery Star, but at my request despatched messengers to various parts of the island to make inquiries. The weather when I anchored was fine, but the barometer was very low, audit came on to blow hard, which increased to a strong gale next day (Sunday, 21st). The gale moderated at sunset on the 22d. A report having been brought to Capt. Thomas of six strangers having been seen on the N.W. side of the island, and also the wreck of a boat, I proceeded on the 23d (after creeping for the anchor without success) to Wangaroa (Port Hutt), and remained there during the 24th, while other mes sengers were despatched to ascertain the truth of the re port. It turned out that the people seen were Maories hunt ing cattle, and the wreck proved to be only a few planks painted green outside, and answering more to the descrip tion of part of a whale boat than a merchant ship's boat. At daylight on the 26th 1 left Port Waitangi, the S.W. wind still continuing, and proceeded to Pitt Island, where I communicated with Mr. Hunt, the English resident, who told me that nothing had been seen or heard of any people or boats, and that it was impossible they could have landed anywhere without his knowledge, as he has the whole island in his hands. Up to this time I had enter tained a hope that some at least of the missing people might have reached Pitt Island, and as it lies more in the direc tion in which the Fiery Star was abandoned, and as Capt. Thomas had had no communication with that island since the date of the disaster, I had resolved not to leave tho Chatham Islands without going there. I fear, however, that they must all have perished, as five weeks have elapsed since the boats left the Fiery Star, and there had been a good deal of bad weather during the month previous to our arrival. I was told that the gale we experienced was the worst that had been felt at the islands for some years. At 3 p.m. on the 26th I bore up from Pitt Island, and pro ceeded by the eastwards of the group for Auckland, where I arrived at 11 p.m. the day before yesterday.—l have, &c., (Signed) "C. W.

A Pug i l ist's Funeral. We extract the following admirably written ac count of the funeral of Tom Sayers from the Daily News Tom Sayers, the pugilist, was buried yesterday at High-- gate Cemetery, under circumstances which can only be de scribed by the word disgraceful. Soon after mid-day a vast crowd had assembled in High-street, Camden-town, whore the ex-champion lived, and the main road and pavement from the Mother Red Cap, for several hundred yards to wards Hampstead, was infested by what looked like an execution mob. The shops were nearly all closed, partly perhaps out of respect to the memory of Sayers, and partly, there can be no question, out of deference to the evidently predatory instincts of the crowd. Jesting, swearing, and rough ohaff, wishes that the music would come, jostling and horse-play, were the occupations most in vogue. All the way from High-street to the cemetery the same class of people on foot, in carts, and on the roof, and inside of overladen cabs, were to be seen steadily making for the hero's grave. At the cemetery itself the gates were guarded by what seemed a strong body of policemen, who only admitted people who either " gave the number of their tomb," or otherwise justified their claim to enter. At two p.m. this crowd was easily kept in order, but half an hour later a successful rush was made, and some hundred sturdy vaga bonds carried the gates by main force, amid the yells and shouts of their companions. The police, who behaved splendidly throughout a most trying day, succeeded in re closing the gates, and in again exercising discrimination as as to whom they should admit. As it was, the tombs and covered crypts were crowded with people who turbulently jostled and laughed, trampled on the gi ass, and defiled the graves with as little reverence for the place they were in as if it had been an old prize ring. The succeeding two hours were taken up in watching the hand-to-hand combats be tween the police outside and the rapidly increasing crowd of roughs, in the arrivalandadmission of tavern celebrities, each admission being the signal for a struggle on the part of those who wanted to force their way, and in securing vantage ground from which to see the procession. Soon after 4 p.m. the sound of drums and trumpets was heard, and a brass band playing the Dead March ; feathers, hearse, and mourning coaches, struggled through the surg ing, disorderly mob. Sayers's pony and dog-cart, with his magnificent dog, the sole occupant of the latter, followed immediately after the hearse. The police contrived to keep back the attendant mob for a few moments, but asso b o o n to a ro s the coffin was taken into the cemetery chapel, and the carriages had filed in, the crowd of thieves and black guards proved too strong for those opposed to them, and the gates were again stormed. The members of the band, while in the act of playing the Dead March, were scattered ad, and them pell-mell, their instruments flying over -head, running for safety. Hundreds of the foulest scum of the back courts and alleys of London, the creatures who only come to light in the aggregate at an execution, or racecourse, or an illegal betting ground , rushed in to hold saturnalia at the grave side. All this time the noble brute in the dog-cart looked on with stern composure, as, if to prove his superiority to the degraded wretches around him. For a few minutes the police were completely over come. They were a more handful of men against the enemy, but they subsequently rallied, and once more suc ceeded in closing the cemetery gates. Many of the .roughs were trodden down in the raid, and after it was over the gasping, speechless forms stretched at no unfrequent inter vals on the grass, or reared by their luckier comrades against the tombs while neckcloths were torn open and animation restored, spoke to the severity of the conflict. Such were the last obsequies of Thomas Sayers, and such the tribute of respect paid by a large section of his admirers—a good-tempered, uneducated man, whose stout heart and unbounded animal courage inspired the respect able classes with such admiration that they subscribed to keep him in idleness for life ; who became the idol of pot houses, and died of drinking, and whose funeral was a riot. CRYSTAL PALACE SCIIOOL OF ART, &C.—The directors of the Crystal Palace have organised a course of free lectures, to take place in the Lecture Theatre every Thursday, at three o'clock, during the winter months. The third lecture will be delivered to-day by the Rev. P. G. Lee, D.C.L., F.S.A., on the subject of " Modern English Poetry," with illustrations. The Marquis de la Valette, Minister of the Inte rior, has left Paris for Perigord on leave of absence, M. Rouher taking charge of his functions ad interim. Railway and other Companies. REGENT'S CANAL. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, City -road Basin, to consider a proposition for making a railway from the Metropolitan line at King's-cross to Limehouse . —Mr. W. Parker in the chair. The report stated that in the year 1860 the con struction of a line of railway in conjunction with the canal was projected, but the measure nos meet ing with sufficient encouragement was abandoned. Since that period much experience had been gained from the working of the several metropolitan rail ways, which, though constructed at an enormous cost, were yielding good dividends, and the shares were already at a large premium. As the directors had had notice that plans of a line of railway from King's cross to Limehouse, via Islington, running parallel with the canal, were again to be brought forward in the ensuing session, the directors strongly advised the proprietors to seek from Parliament powers of their own for that purpose. The main line and branches suggested by thebdard might be constructed without diminishing the efficiency of the canal, but by rebuilding of bridges, the widening and deepen ing of the water way, and other works, the naviga tion would be materially improved. The cost of the railway, with the several branches, was approxi mately estimated by the company's engineers, Mr. Fowler and Mr. Thomas, at £900,000, and the net profits anticipated upon - such an outlay was about 9 per cent. on the railway alone. The report proposed that the capital required for constructing the railway and for the simultaneous improvement of the canal, should be raised as a distinct capital by new shares, to be offered first to the proprietors and then to the public; and that upon the opening of the railway for traffic the profits of both canal and railway should belong exclusively to the proprietors of the new capital, subject to the payment of a pre ference dividend to the present proprietors of the existing canal shares, including those created on the 6th September last, of not less than 30s. per share. The engineers, Messrs. FowlerandThomas, reported that it was practicable to construct a double line of railway from King's-cross to Limehouse, and to pre serve an efficient waterway of the canal for the con veyance of goods. The proposed line would commence by a double junction with the Metropolitan Railway, for east and west traffic, and thence pass under Pen- tonville-hill, near the Angel Tavern at Islington, and enter the property of the Canal Company near Frog lane-bridge, from which point it would pass parallel to the canal to Limehouse Basin, and of course, when practicable, the railway would be confined within the boundary of the company's property. It was proposed to construct perpendicular walls on each side of the waterway so as to form an uniform channel 50 feet wide, by which means the slopes would be usefully appropriated, and much valuable space would be thereby obtained. The main line of railway from King's-cross to Limehouse would provide direct pas senger communication between the Great Western, the Great Northern, the Midland, the Metropolitan, and London, Chatham, and Dover Railways, and seven large and important districts of the northern and eastern parts of the metropolis, which now con tained a population of 800,000 inhabitants. It would have branches to the Great Eastern Railway at Cam bridge-heath, the East London or Thames Tunnel line, and the Blackwall Extension Railway, Mill wall, and the Isle of Dogs. The main line from King's-cross to Limehouse would be five miles in length, the branch to the Metropolitan Railway 15 chains, branch to the Great Eastern 55 chains, and loop 13 chains ; and the branch to the Blackwall Extension line 38 chains—total length, 6 miles 4 furlongs and 1 chain. The CHAIRMAN explained that the proposed un dertaking would very much improve the value of their property, and greatly assist the freighters in carrying on their trade on the canal. The company would be enabled to utilise some'of their waste land by making the railway along the north side of the canal, and thus protect their property from fighting schemes. He concluded by moving a resolution approving the preliminary steps taken by the direc tors for applying to Parliament in the ensuing ses sion for power to construct a railway from King's cross to Limehouse, and authorising the directors to proceed with the bill for that purpose. Mr.W. STURGE moved an amendment,to the effect that the meeting were of opinion that the scheme was unnecessary and uncalled for. He contended that the railway would destroy the business of the canal, and override the interests of the canal pro prietors. The proposed annual preference interest of 30s. per share was not in his opinion an adequate compensation. Mr. GRISSELL said the canal need not fear the competition of the railway for heavy traffic, as more canals were wanted to accommodate the trade of the country. Thirty shillings a share was not suffi cient for the canal proprietors, and he thought they had better allow some other company to make the railway. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Dodd and other proprietors took part, the Chairman replied to the various objections to the scheme. On a show of hands the amendment was rejected, and the motion was carried by 15 against 9, several shareholders remaining neutral. The CHAIRMAN said the proprietors at the ordi nary meeting next month would have a further op portunity of considering the proposition. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings. 6. 2.1.0 296 2.14.0 3} 2.14.0 8.3.6 3.9.0 10.8.° all 0.14.6 14.11.6 11 3.2.0 18.18.9 35.15.6 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr, Justice Mellor, Mr. Justice Shee, and Mr. Justice Lush.) THE, QUEEN V. IVINSOR. This was the case of the woman who was convicted of murder at the last assizes at Exeter, and on whose case a writ of error is pending on the ground that the prisoner had already been tried and the jury wrongly discharged from giving a verdict. It is necessary to recall to the recollection of our readers that Winsor and another and a younger woman, named Harris, were put upon their trial in March last for the murder of an infant child of the latter. The trial began on Friday, the 17th of March, and was con tinued by adjournment to the Saturday. The evidence in the case was closed, and the summing up was concluded late on Saturday 'evening, and the jury retired at about a quarter to seven. They were absent until nearly twelve o'clock, and then being called into Court stated that they had not agreed and were not likely to agree, and thereupon the learned Judge (Mr. Baron Channel') said thetas the next day was Sunday he should discharge them, and they were accordingly dis charged. The assizes for the next county were appointed to be opened on Monday. In our report of the case at the time there was no statement of any illness or faintness among the jury, or any actual impossibility of their con tinuing their deliberations, and it did not now appar that there was. They were, however, discharged, and the pri soners were remanded into custody until the next assizes, the last summer assizes, when they were again put to the bar before Mr. Justice Keating ; but the counsel for the prosecution called Harris as a witness, and the result was to convict Winsor. The counsel for Winsor objected to the continuance of the trial, urging that it had been begun at the last assizes, had been unlawfully inter rupted by the discharge of the jury, and had been unlaw fully put off or adjourned. The learned Judge, however, overruled the objections, and continued the trial to verdict and judgment, saying that the question must be raised by writ of error. The prisoner was sentenced to death, but, in deference to some doubt entertained by an eminent person, the Attorney General had granted his fiat for a writ of error, and accordingly a writ of error has within the last fow days been issued by leave of the Attor ney General to bring the case into this court, which is the Court of Error in Crown cases from the assizes, and it is about to come on to bo argued. The Court of Error requires that the record of the proceedings at the first and second trial be returned or sent by the judges of assize to this court for the purpose of review, and, of course, the case must turn upon the terms in which the proceedings are en tered on the record. The record having been drawn up, Mr. Folliari yester day, on the part of the prisoner, made an application to correct the record, which he said was not correctly made up in certain particulars. One great omission was the grounds upon whichthe first jury was discharged. Their lord ships consulted together, and informed the learned gentle man that he could renew the application at the next sit ting of the the Court. This he accordingly did this morning, the result being that the decision in the matter was postponed until Mr. Baron Channel had been consulted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE PETTIT-THE CATTLE DISEASE-A SAD CASE. This bankrupt was described as of Percival-street, Dos well-road, and Eagle-street, Holborn, cowkeeper and dairyman ; and to-day he came up to pass his last exami nation and for the order of discharge, upon accounts show ing debts £BB7 and 'assets £BO. The cause of failure is thug set out :—Losses in stock, viz., death of 63 cows in three weeks, and dearness of cattle food. Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Reed op posed for Mr. James, a creditor for £3OO, and stated that an adjournment was necessary. Mr. Reed stated the nature of his complaint against the bankrupt, which was that he had got rid of property which had been mortgaged to Mr. James, who now asked what had become of all the cows which the bankrupt owned ? Mr. Buchanan (for the bankrupt) said that a full account of them had been filed, and his Honour said there was a statement already on the proceedings. Mr. Reed said he understood that some of the cows found their way into another yard. Bankrupt had bought 20 cows of Mr. James, who wanted a full account as to what had become of them. There was also the goodwill of a milk walk, and a full account was quite necessary. Mr. Buchanan said that the whole misfortune of the bankrupt was through the cattle disease. In January last the bankrupt was solvent and had £4OO to the good, and from that time his total losses had accrued through the loss of his property in consequence of a calamity over which he had no control. The bankrupt said that in January last he had 64 cows. In June the disease commenced, and bankrupt lost 63 cows. Mr. Reed desired an account for ten years ; but after the statement made by Mr. Buchanan, his Honour ruled that the account need only date from January 1, 1865. The case was then adjourned. IN RE CAT E. This bankrupt has been before the court since January last, and to-day, after a desultory discussion, in which four counsel, Messrs. Rrough, Bagley, Sargood, and Griffiths took place, the case was adjourned. (Before Mr. Commissioner, Holroyd.) IN RE SIR R. ROBERTS. '.Phis bankrupt, who was described as paymaster to one of her Majesty's regiments, again came up to-diy for the order of discharge. The case has been repeatedly ad journed, and it was understood that the order would be granted to-day. MARKETS—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was well supplied with beasts as to number, but their general quality was inferior. All breeds moved off slowly, at barely Monday's currency. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. The show of sheep was only moderate ; nevertheless the mutton trade was heavy, and in some instances the quotations had a drooping tendency. Really prime Downs were worth 6s 10d per 81bs. There was a heavy sale for calves, the supply of which was good, at 4d per 81bs less money. Prices ranged from 4s to 5s per 81bs.

LOYALTY OF THE CATHOLIC JUDGES TO CROWN AND CONSTITUTION.--The Court of Common Pleas gave judgment, a day or two ago, says the Dublin corre spondent of the Times, in the case of "Luby v. the Lord- Lieutenant." The judges were the Chief Justice Monahan, Mr. Justice Keogh, Mr. Justice O'Hagan, and Mr. Justice Christian. It is worthy of remark that the first three are Roman Catholics. It was predicted by many that in times of political excitement the interests of the Crown and Con stitution would not be safe if intrusted to Roman Catholic judges. In every instance of the kind such prophecies have been signally falsified. During the present move ment the only judge who has decided against the Crown and in favour of the prisoners, on any point, is a Protestant and a Conservative in the Court of Queen's Bench, who thought that the publication of the opening statement of counsel for the Crown, in the police-court, was actionable. WIVENHOE AND BRIGHTLINGSEA. This company proposes to apply to Parliament next session for powers to raise additional capital, to authorise the sale or lease of the undertaking to the Great Eastern, and to make traffic and other arrangements with that company. F'" MIDLAND.

The total receipts from the Ist of July to the above date amounted to £475,241, and for the sameperiod of last year to £409,920, showing an increase of £65,321, or 15.9 per cent. Lifeboat Services. NVIIITBURN, SUNDERLAND, Wednesday Night. Tho schooner Token, of Jersey, bound from Amsterdam to the Tyne, in ballast, on approaching the land at night (says Capt. Heard, R.N.) took the Sunderland Lights for those at Hartlepool, and, steering north, came on the out lying rocks off Whitburn. Seeing lights in the oiling, two cobles were launched, but the sea was so heavy that they were obliged to return to the shore. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution then proceeded at once to the vessel, and took the crew of six men out and landed them at Whitburn. There was a heavy breaking sea near the schooner. All speak highly of the behaviour of the lifeboat during the service. FALLING, NORTOLK, Nov. 14. A large ship came on the beach opposite Palling last night (reports Mr. J. Rickes). The Parsee lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched, and succeeded in bringing the crew of twenty men and a pilot safely to shore. The vessel was the Orso of North Shield; bound from Shields to Genoa with coal and coke. CAPTURE OF A WHALE AT HASTINGS.—A whale, measuring 67 feet in length, was washed ashore between Bexhill and Pevensey, about nine miles from Hastings, on Monday last, November 13th, It has been claimed by the Corporation of Hastings.

MILLER, Chief Cashier. Nov. 6, 1565. Naval and Military Intelligence. Instructions have been received at the shipwright department at Chatham dockyard from the Admi ralty as to the vessels to be completed, repaired, and fitted, together with the programme of works gene rally to be undertaken at that establishment during the remainder of the financial year. The chief of these will be the commencement of the two new vessels ordered to be built from Mr. E. J. Reed's designs, viz., the Hercules and the Blanche, the former being an entirely new kind of ironclad, to be coated with armour plates of great thickness, and the latter an improved frigate (unarmoured) of the Amazon class, and intended to carry a battery of a few guns of the heaviest calibre. The drawings and plans of both vessels are now in the hands of the draughtsmen employed in the designing depart ment of the dockyard for the preparation of the sectional drawings and moulds for each ship. The Hercules will be constructed with a thickness of iron running along her broadside of 111 inches, of which her armour plates alone will be of the enormous thickness of 9in., or exactly double the thickness of the armour plates of the Warrior, which is only protected for some 200 ft. amidships. The recent experiments made at Shoeburyness on the Hercules target, constructed with exactly the same weight of iron and timber per square foot as is intended to be employed in the vessel, proved in contestably that no gun hitherto invented will be able to propel a shot through the sides. On the oc casion of the experiments alluded to three of the Armstrong 12 ton 300-pounder shunt guns were fired at a distance of only 200 yards, with charges varying from 451 b. to 601 b. of powder. Although a steel shot of 3001 b. weight and 10i inches in dia meter struck the centre of the 9-inch armour plate with a velocity of rather more than 1,500 ft. per se cond, yet the blow was barely sufficient to break through the armour, and did not injure the backing. Sir Wm. Armstrong, in a public letter, subsequently confessed his doubts whether even the 600-pounder gun would have succeeded in penetrating the target unless even the enormous 601 b. charges were greatly increased, whereas no rifled gun yet constructed has ever been tried at Woolwich with charges exceeding 601 b. of powder. The Blanche is to be laid down on the slip from which the Lord Warden is to be launched, and is to be taken in hand as soon as the work now in progress will admit. The Reindeer, originally laid down as a 17-gun screw corvette, but since altered so as to enable her to mount a few heavy guns, is to be completed and made ready for launching forthwith. The order also directs the fine screw unarmoured wooden frigate Ariadne, 26, 800- horse power (nominal), to be thoroughly repaired at an estimated cost of £16,000, which will probably reach £20,000 before she is complete in her fitments, furnished with new boilers, and ready for commis sion as the order directs. In addition to the other vessels ordered to be refitted and repaired at Chatham, the screw gun vessel Wanderer, 4, 200-horse power, is to be brought forward for commission, together with two other vessels, names not mentioned, which are to be sent to Chatham to be refitted and re- paired. The programme of work does not include the ordinary repairs and refit to the harbour craft, steamers, ships in ordinary, &c. The screw steam frigate Topaze, 39, is being rigged at Devonport for the first division of the Steam Reserve. The screw steam frigate Doris, 30, has been over hauled in Devonport, and prepared for active ser vice. It is expected that she will be put into emu. mission shortly. made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Sub-Lieut.—Ed. The following a ppointments have been Campbell. win Davies ; to he llon.
