MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to show increased quietude, arising principally from the idea that lower rates must soon prevail, as the difference on the side of supply to that of demand is excessive. The brokers are waiting to learn the result of the weekly Court of Bank Directors to-morrow, but should no alteration bo made in the official mini mum, it is not thought likely that the rate in the open market can be long kept at its present figure. The quotation now for the negotiation of the best paper ranges from 4i per cent., which is about per cent. lower than the official rate. The Stock Exchange markets present a rather depressed aspect, consequent upon the want of con fidence felt with respect to railway enterprise. 'The disclosures in the report of the committee of inves tigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany, and the intimation made at the meeting of the Great Eastern Railway that some three or four million would be required to complete the exten sions, have occasioned great distrust in the mind of the public. The Funds remain steady, and Consols are 89i for money, and 89i 8 _ for the account; but all descriptions of shares are lower. Application has been made to the Vice-Chancellor Stuart in the matter of the Albion Bank for time to answer a bill filed by a contributory to set aside a call, the first portion of which is about to be paid, and three weeks were given. In the matter of the Asiatic Banking Company permission has been granted to appoint Mr. Fredk. William Lawrence, acting manager of the com pany, and Mr. Turquand, accountant, provisional liquidators. Gold amounting to £34,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 90c. Very flat. In the English Stock Market quotations have generally been well sustained, and this is the only department where the public appear to have im plicit confidence. All other descriptions of securi ties, especially railway and finance, are for the moment in disfavour, and prices are generally lower. Consols continue at 891 for money, and at 891 4. for the account. The New Threes are 87 and the Reduced Annuities, 87 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 105 ; and do.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re mained rather quiet, but in a few instances prices have shown some rather important changes.

THE GREAT SILK ROBBERY.—Abraham Marks was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a large quantity of silk of the value of £BOO. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pierce attended on the part of the assignees of Sharp, from whom the silk had been stolen. Rosa Wright, a domestic servant in the service of Mr. Marks, the prisoner's uncle, said she recollected the night before the robbery her sweetheart came to see her Sho had known him over twelve months, and he resided in Tenter-street, Whitechapel. She never gave him the key of the area gate, and when he entered the house that even ing he came down the area steps as the painter was just leaving work. Her sweetheart left about half-past nine, and she let him out at the front door. She was up at one o'clock on the morning of the robbery, and did not go to rest until all had gone to bed. A Mrs. Dodsword was at the house also, but her sweetheart was not there during that time. He left a long time before he went away. Mr. Vaughan asked who locked the area gate on the evening previous to the discovery of the robbery. The witness said the painter did so, and afterwards gave her the key. She was quite sure that that was so. Mr. Lewis said he would undertake that the young m an should be in attendance at the next examination, and there fore he should now ask for a remand for that purpose. Mr. Pierce asked that the prisoner might be admitted to bail. Mr. Lewis said he objected to the application when it was first mentioned, and now ho had still stronger reasons for doing so. Mr. Vaughan said he could not accept bail for the pri soner's appearance, and as it was intimated that further time was required, he would remand the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A CRUEL CASE.—Elizabeth Lacy, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch of the value of £9, the property of Mr. Bachelor Myles, book seller, of No. 38, Goodge-street, Tottenham -court-road. On the young woman. being placed at the bar, Sergeant Burroughes, of the E division, said the person who gave the young woman into custody was rot present. He charged her with stealing his watch, and subsequently at tended at the station and said he had found it, and bailed her out. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, who attended for the young woman, said it was a very cruel case. The person charging the young woman had taken her to his house, and after stay ing there a short time he charged her with stealing his watch. About four hours afterwards he wont to the sta tion and stated that he had found that his watch had been taken from him by two of his friends for a lark, and ho then bailed the young woman. Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the young woman, stating that she had been cruelly treated. ROBBERY IN THE HAYMARKET.—HeIena Blighton, a young unfortunate, was charged with stealing the breast pin of Mr. Frederick St. Clair, of 4, Russell-place, Fitzroy-- square. The prosecutor was walking with two or three friends through the Haymarket last night when the prisoner placed herself in front of him, and directly afterwards he felt a touch on his breast and missed his pin, of the value of £3 10s. He gave the prisoner in charge, and the pin was afterwards picked up by a basket woman in the Haymarket and banded to Lawrence Poole, 305 A. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A PAWNBROKER'S ASSISTANT. James Collins, a young man, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing £2O and a gold locket, the property of his master, Mr. Tarrant, a pawnbroker, in Cabel-street, Whitechapel. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the pro secution. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Tar rant for three months, and in the course of time money had been repeatedly missed. A few days ago the prosecutor received information that the prisoner had given notice to the post-master at the Post-office savings bank in Leman street, Whitechapel, to withdraw £2O which he had in vested there, and said to the prisoner, " The money you have put into the savings bank is mine." The prisoner said "No ; £5 of it is mine, the remainder is yours." Dunaway, an intelligent detective, No. 11 11, arrested the prisoner, and waited on the post-master, who, in accord ance with the Government Savings' Bank regulations, re fused to give information of the investments of depositors, and asked for a summons to compel the post-master to give evidence on oath and assist the interests of justice. At the station-house the prisoner sent for Dunaway, and then ad mitted that all the money in the Savings Bank was Mr, Tarrant's, and had been stolen. On searching the pri soner's box a gold locket was found by Dunaway. This had been offered in pawn by a woman in Mr. Tarrant's shop, and a suspicion having arisen that it was stolen, it was detained and deposited in a drawer, and a ticket attached to it. Thero was an in scription on the ticket, which stated that the ticket was offered in pawn by M rs . Ch apman on t h e 9 t h o f J u l y and stopped. It was found the prisoner had stolen other property, which had not been traced. Witnesses were called to verify the statement made by Mr. Charles Young, and William Slater, of Pimlico, for merly in the service of Mr. Tarrant, said that he had seen the prisoner wearing the locket. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, cross-examined the wit nesses, and set up a defence as regarded the locket that it was given him by a man named Thomas, in Mr. Tarrant's employ. Mr. Charles Young said no one had authority to give away property in Mr. Tarrant's possession, and asked for another remand to enable him to obtain the testimony of the postmaster who had received the deposits of monoy from the prisoner. The postmaster was bound to with hold all information relating to deposits except on oath in a court of justice, when any person was charged with robbery or fraud. Mr. Paget acceded to tho application made by Mr. Charles Young, and granted a summons for the attendance of the postmaster. He remanded the prisoner for a week. HOW COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS ARE CAUSED.— Josper Brock, a miner, for 13 years employed in a colliery at Fieldhouse, near Huddersfield, belonging to Mr. E. Brooke, was charged on Saturday with hating unscrewed the top of his safety lamp and worked in the pit with a naked light, contrary to ,the regulations of the colliery. He pleaded guilty. It appeared that he was working in the pit:within 10 yards of a place which was considered dan gerous on account of the gas, and where the ordinary dan ger signals were placed, and he unfastened the top of his safety lamp and worked with a naked light, although there were in the pit at the time no fewer than 67 men and boys, whose lives he thus placed in jeopardy. A short time ago some colliers from the same pit were fined for a similar offence; but now, at the request of Mr. Dransfield, who prosecuted, the bench sentenced t'ho defendant to one months' imprisonment without the option of paying a fine, and observed that a repetition of the offence would lead to the offender being sent to prison for three months. NORTH ESSEX REVISION.—The revision of the lists by Mr. S. C. C. Fish, revising barrister, commenced at Saffron Walden on the 20th ult., and closed at Witham, on the 2d inst. The Liberals wore represented by Mr. T. N. Roberts, of 5, Queen-square, Westminster, secretary to the Liberal Registration Association. The Tories were represented by solicitors in the various districts. - Liberal claims admitted, 314 ; Tory ditto, 250-61 Liberal gain on claims. Liberals struck off old register, 167 ; Tories ditto, 151-16 Tory gain on objections. Net Liberal gain, 48. Numerically the new register will be 220 more than the existing one, but the voting power will be 239 greater, there having been 90 duplicates expunged, and 71 ad- Mated.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—When Muller was executed a reporter for a morning paper stated in his report that no cast of the culprit's head was taken, and added that such nonsense—or some like term—was no longer per mitted by the authorities. The gentleman was doubly in error. Whilst he was penning his report (probably) I was, by special permission of the Sheriffs, taking a cast of Muller's head, and I well remember the expression of Mr. Sheriff Dakin when his permission was asked—that he deemed it his duty to give every aid in his power to scientific researches. Iu a like spirit I have been answered on recent occasions by the Sheriffs of Essex and Kent. To throw dirt at a new science is much easier than to try to understand its principles. llluller was legally guilty of causing the death of Mr. Briggs, and was justly executed. But Muller's cerebral organisatio n s t an d s out in broad relief from that of the type no w genera lly recognised as the unduly animalised. And if phrenology can be taken as a guide iu so intricate a question its evi dence is on the side of Muller's innocence of pre meditated murder, or, indeed, of actual murder by his own hand. His confession was not of guilt in this respect. I did it " can be taken to mean only the commission of a criminal act, but not of murder. The doubt in his case makes the cast of his head doubly interesting. With ready courtesy I have been permitted to take a cast of the head of Jeffreys after his execu tion, and beg to offer you the following report : The head of Jeffreys has no resemblance to the typos that presented themselves so plentifully when Phrenology was first broached in this country. Then witnesses came forward with obtrusive frequency. Messrs. Burke, Hare, Williams, Bishop, cam mu iti s a la s , presented their cere bral organisations, and left to anti-phrenologists only a wordy warfare. Neither has the face of Jeffreys any thing of a ferocious, coarse, or pugilistic expression. His features wore regular, proportionate, and nicely chiselled, giving an appearance of breed, ancestral decency, and such refinement as education tends to bestow. The head is small, being only 24 inches round This, and a great defect in the refieeti_vo organs, are its chief faults. There is no lack of height in tho corona' or moral regions, no basilar coarseness, no marked disproportion between the animal and the specially human regions. The moral arches, particularly that of conscientiousness, are not well developed ; but there is none of the flatness— little of the Gothic straightness of line in these arches, so obvious in the heads of what may bo termed the chroni cally criminal class. The student of Phrenology must over keep in mind the hardening, soul-deadening in fluences with which but too many of the lowly born are surrounded, from childhood to adult years. Original type and development of brain go a long way in the constitution of mental character ; but Jeffreys spent his earliest years probably, and certainly many years of his manhood, under the most unfavourable circumstances. His "unlucky deeds" no one would seek to extenuate. Ho seems to have loved "not wisely, but too well," and, like Othello, became "perplexed in the extreme." Ile gave himself up to justice. His last days were not impenitent. He prayed frequently and fervently, and spent his latest hours becomingly. Jeffreys' intellect was quick, clear, and practical. He could not have failed to be a very clever workman. The fact that he was prone to commit excesses in drink is of itself sufficient to ac count for any amount of gradual demoralisation and of ultimate recklessness and brutality. He was one of the millions of victims to King Alcohol. C. DONOVAN, M.D. School of Phrenology, 111, Strand, 9th October, 186 g. Great Eastern Railway. The following appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : A special general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the London Tavern for the purpose of considering the propriety of raising additional capital. Mr. Turner occupied the chair. The OHAIRMAN said he regretted to have to appear before them that day to advocate a line of policy which he did not approve, but he was compelled to advocate that policy from sheer necessity, and not with a view of annihilating the ordinary stockholders in that groat com pany. The metropolitan extensions of the company have been fully. considered, and it had been found that the cost of abandoning them would be greater than that of proceeding with them. The lines originally proposed amount to 28 miles, but it had been determined to postpone the consideration of proceeding with 17 miles of railway and thus reducing the new lines to bo constructed to 11 miles. Amongst the new lines to be proceeded with was that from Liverpool-street to Bishopsgate-street, from Bishopsgate-street to the coal depot, and from thence to Hackney. The Winchuore Hill lino was amongst those which had been postponed. With this object it became necessary to raise a largo addition to their capital, and in order that they might know exactly the amount, and that there should be no raising of money by a sidewind he would communicate to them the exact amount to be created. It was proposed to create new capital to the amount of £3,210,423, in addition to which it was proposed to raise in bonds and preference chares £1,810,960, making in all £4,295,383. The 31 millions was required for extensions and other purposes, and £1,000,000 was required to repay private loans. The charge against capital, therefore, for the future would be 21 millions for metropolitan exten sions, and one milion against revenue more than existed at present. It, therefore, became his duty to move a formal resolution to embody the propositions he had made in his speech, at the same time intimating that it was proposed to allot the shares amongst the ordinary and preference shareholders of the company. Before he resumed his seat he must tell the meeting that the debts of the company were of such a pressing nature that additional capital must be at once found. The resolution he had to move was as follows : "Resolved, That pursuant to the resolution of the extra ordinary general meeting of the shareholders held on the 9th October, 1866, and th e powers c onferred by the Great Eastern R a il wa y (Addi t i ona l P owers ) Act, 1 866 , and the several other undermenti one d A c ts a capital or sum of £3,210,423 be authori se d t o b e ra i se d' and issued to bear a preferential dividend out of the profits of the company, in priority to the ordin ary shares and stock of the company,at the rate of .£6l per contum pe r redemption by the company at any time after the end of annum, subject to five years from the d a t e on w hi c h t he same shall be issued on payment of £llO f or every £lOO of such capital." Ile hoped they would a dj ourn th e meeting such men as Mr. Chadwi c k an d Mr. for a fortnight, and in the interim a c omm i t t ee o f reference, composed of Rowley, and see whether the stock had b een proper ly put out and properly expended. The resolution having been seconded , Mr. BEVIS, a dire c t or , asked the shareholders to pause before they assented t o suc h a reso lution. The board of directors, as at present c ons tit u t e d, was not constructed for the welfare of the company, and therefore he asked the meeting to wait till next August, when they could put the right men in the direction. A somewhat personal discussion ensued, in which Mr Bevis, the chairman, and several proprietors took part. Mr. LEGGE said he should like to know where the income was to come from to meet the proposed increase of capital. He should also like to know whether the preference share holders would take the now issue. The increased charge upon the company would be £lO,OOO a week, for which they were to have 11 additional miles of railway. He wished to know how much it was estimated they would earn. Jhey were to cost over throe million, and he felt cer tain they were not worth that sum. It would in . his opinion be better to lose a million than incur a new re sponsibility at such an enormous expense. Mr. HOYES moved an amendment to the effect that the proposal of the chairman be postponed for a fortnight. Mr. WRIGHT seconded the amendment. A SHAREHOLDER :tbked the chairman whether a proposal to issue the new stock as ordinary stock at a large discount had been made ? Mr. SMerli, a director, said it was next to impossible to stop, as was proposed by some proprietors. The present directors when they came into office found the contracts in numerous instances signed, and if they were suddenly to come to a standstill they would have at least 500 considered to be very objectionable.Cha cery s it a n t to had de f b e e n asked d at hewhether the shareholders would take the new capital. lie felt th e y wou ld . The CHAIRMAN said he hoped Mr. Hues would with draw his amendment, as, to stop short now, as was pro en posed, would bo ruin to the company. If the lines were not made they would have to raise two millions of money, andunder such circumstances he thought the policyadvocated by the directors was the only one calculated to save the company. If it was possible to retreat he would say do, but, as he had already said, to do so now would be death and destruction. The matter of issuing the new stock as ordinary stock at a large discount had been decided not to do so. Ho hoped the shareholders would come forward and support the directors in taking up the new stock, be cause if they did not do so they could not expect the public to do so.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. -- Yesterday afternoon the department of the faculty of arts and laws in University College was formally opened for the winter session, in the presence of the various professors and a large number of past and present students. Mr. Warbur ton presided, and Professor H. J. Roby, M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge, delivered the inaugural address, his subject being " The importance and position of law as a subject of general education," SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET RACES—TuEsDAY. The concourse of people assembled on Newmarket Heath to-day was something immense—larger than was ever known on any previous Cesarewitch day. All the ordinary trains running into Newmarket were excessively crowded ; but the railway authorities, anticipating the amount of extra traffic, arranged for the starting of several special trains. As early as 9 o'clock the specials began to arrive from London, Cambridge, and elsewhere, but the largest was that which left London at half-past 7. This offered extra ordinary facilities to pleasure-seekers, inasmuch as for a charge of ss. per head passengers wore conveyed from the metropolis to the headquarters of racing, and back at night. As might have been expected, a very large number of people availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded of witnessing the decision of the last but one of the great back-end handicaps. This morning was very fine—more like August than October—and the number of people who flocked to the Heath to see the Cesarewitch competitors canter was very large. Most of the favourites were fancied, and their respective chances eagerly discussed. The various teams of horses brought out for exercise upon the Heath also got a fair share of attention, but the Cesare witch animals were those mostly looked after, and those reputed to have been so highly tried were minutely watched. A " meeting" took place in front of the rooms before proceeding to the course, and a good deal of specu lation took place, all the favourites being supported for considerable sums. Chepstow was again firm in the quo tations, while Proserpine, Lothario, Regalia, and Lecturer were accredited with legitimate money. The only outsider inquired after was Eudsleigh. Place-betting was also in great vogue, Regalia and Lothario being backed for considerable amounts. There was, however, no startling. feature in the betting, and, despite the fact that Mr. Graham " declared to win with Regalia," her stable com panion, Chepstow, was backed to win a large sum. The scene made up of broughams and carriages, ladies and gentlemen on horseback, and thousands upon foot, was a very imposing one. Racing commenced at 12.10 with a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, which was won cleverly by Gulnara defeating three others. This was followed by the Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each, for which 11 of the 13 coloured went to the post. Lord Bateman's horse, Moulsey, won easily, but he was not backed for much money, the " talent" believing that he could not defeat his former opponent, Ostregor, or concede any weight to the three-year-olds. The Town Plate was landed by the favourite, Douro. The . Royal Stakes—the race before the Cesarewitch—only induced three to go to the post, and it proved the good thing it looked for Westwick, who defeated Jack-in-the-Green easily. Twenty-five jockeys were weighed out for the great race of the day—the Cesarewitch —and while the horses were cantering to the post some of them were very heavily backed. Proserpina was installed first favourite, as little as 100 to 30 being accepted about her. Chepstow was in demand at :100 to 15, while Lec turer was backed at the last moment to win thousands at 9 to 1. Potomac advanced to 20 to 1. The race being fully described below, little is necessary by way of introductory remarks. The lot were despatched at the first attempt, Caithness making the pace for his stable companion for some distance. The popular colours of Baron Rothschild were carried by Lothario, who was always well in front ; indeed, on approaching the dip, shouts were raised pro claiming his victory, but in the dip Lecturer (with whom the Marquis of Hastings, it is said, stood to win £100,000) headed the Baron's horse, and won, after a game finish, by half a length from Lothario, who defeated Proserpine head only for second place. The excitement was some thing immense, and the marquis and marchioness were overwhelmed with congratulations. Hibberd, who steered the game son of Costerdale to victory, also got his share of the ovation. A Selling Race intervened, and then the race for the Clearwoll Stakes—which proved to be one of the most exciting races of the day—took place. Nine animals (including Lord Lyon's flying sister Achievement, Plaudit, Pericles, and six others) went to the post. Odds were freely aid on Achievement, but, despite the vigorous riding of Constance, who called resolutely upon the filly at the finish, she was beaten literally in the last stride by a head by Plaudit, who was immediately afterwards backed for the Derby. The defeat of the hitherto invincible Achievement created a great sensation on the .Heath, and formed the most prominent feature of the Cesarewitch-day.

The 25 compe titors were weighed out and cantered to the post at the ap pointed time for the start (2.25), and Mr. M'George suc ceeded in despatching them at the first attempt to an excel lent start. Caithness, after 50 yards of the distance had been traversed, went to the front for the purpose of forcing the pace. He was attended by Medina. The two running to gether, were clear of Lothario, Chepstow, Regalia, Ends leigh, Dubiety, and Jollity. 1 few strides behind the lot enumerated were Acta3a, Proserpine, Dulcimer, and Rama, who headed the remainder, running in a cluster, with the exception of Slieve Came and Philosopher, who acted as " whipper in." Coming through the ditch gap Regalia drew up to the leading division. When fairly through the gap Caithness and Medina gate way, and Regalia was left with a slight lead of Endsleigh, Dulcimer, Lothario, Lecturer, Acta3a, Jollity, and Chepstow. This lot ran in close order in front of Rama, Proserpina Caithness, and Helen. The remainder wore somewhat scattered. About a mile from home Endsleigh and Lothario simultaneously headed the "top weight." At this point the front division, compristinhge the above enumerated, closed as the y approached Bushes-hill, and it could scarcely be seen whichf w lead ing. Chepstow for a few str ides looked rather ornalsidable, alia ran hut, hanging from distress , he soon gave way. with extraordinary gameness , but at the descent she g gave way under her heavy impost, notwithstanding her grand effort to keep in the front. The next lot to d di sc pea latter of whom ran with exceeding gameness up to the Bushes hill. The race was now loft to Lothario, Proserpina, Lec turer, and Actsea, and so well was Baron Rothschild's horse going that loud shouts wore raised "Lothario wins," and at that time he held a perceptible lead, but ht the dip Lvc,- turor, who had been lying almost unobserved on the whip hand of the Baron's horse, rushed to the front, and Hibbard, with great skill and judgment succeeded in landing this game son of Colsterdale a winner by - half a length from Lothario, who defeated Proserpino by a neck only for second place. Half a length behind Proserpine was Acteaa fourth, while a couple of lengths off was Dulcimer fifth ; Endsleigh was sixth, Sealskin seventh, and Helen eighth. Regalia was at the head of another lot, which comprised Jollity, Caithness, and Chepstow, who were pulling up. Half a dozen lengths behind them was Philosopher, Breda maute, Ethelred, and Emigrant, separated by short inter vals. The last lot, widely scattered, were Slieve Came, Medina, Dubiety, and LaFavorite ; the absolute last being War. Not value of the stakes, £1,545.

Broomielaw and Saccharometer cantered, but Out-and-Outer galloped over a mile smartly. Master Richard, after leading Vauban and others of John Day's, went a mile and a half gallop by himself. Saladin did a similar distance. Peon and Paris galloped a mile and a quarter. Toma hawk galloped a mile and three quarters, and Am bition nearly as far. We had a splendid lot of two-year-olds working, including Achievement, Plaudit, Marksman, the Palmer, Vauban, Knight of the Garter, Rose, Inez, rhotographe, The Rake, Ephyre, Satyr, Dove tail, Friponnier, Chignon, Bouncoaway, Midwife, Ben Nevis, Tumbler, Rus in Urbe, Beauclaick, Lady Hester, Caasar, Claymore, Owain Glyndwr, Stolen Kisses, Locha ber, Mavourneen, Pedagogue, The Hermit, Rlink Hoolie, Colstream, La Sarrentina, Ettrick, Barrington, Porter's Knot, Chatsworth, The Jewel, Mochrie, Lord Brownlow, Empress, Kalepigge colt, Pericles, Greenback, Julius, Bombastes, Verdi, Trocadero, Catherine, the Sunflower filly, The Hatter, Pussy, Will Scarlet, Ailesbury, Camilla, Jauna, Jasper, Hippie, Falkenstein, Ravioli, Rochefort, Chifney, Seringapatam, Pirate Chief, Fakir, Lady ,Bugle, Miss Sarah colt, and a heap of others. Most of these can tered freely, and then galloped from half-a-mile to little over a mile. Volunteer was leading the Rake, and Friponnier a mile, which distance Split the Difference took Achievement. Plaudit merely cantered, and his com panions, Rose and Chatsworth, went three-quarters of a mile clipping. Mirella led Marksman, the Sunflower filly, the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Sister to Scottish Chief, a good mile. Friday pioneered Ettrick, Scour de Charite, and others of Joseph Dawon's, three-quarters of a mile, sharp. The Hermit was working by himself, and looks veey big. Knight of the Garter followed Out and Outer, a mile. Richard Boyce had Flamingo in nice steady exer cise. Opoponax galloped three-quarters of a mile smartly ; but Bombastes was trotting only. The French-bred Floranthe went a mile uncommonlly well. Dunblane galloped with old Saccarometer. Ailesbury was out with the rest of the Duke of Hamilton's horses, and is very much improved. Nimble led the three-year-old Splitvote filly a couple of miles, and the Flutter colt rendered a similar service to Savernake, who looks in beautiful condition. Lord Lyon had a two mile spin, with Split the Difference Knight of the Crescent galloped a couple of miles, and War accompanied Westwick a like length, Kebe doing a similar amount of work. Wild Briar had a mile and three quarters gallop. Neroli did over two miles. Lothario was eased. Quick March and Bayonnette also exercised freely. Podargus has returned to Richmond. Slender galloped two miles and a half. Plutus accompanied Sultan a mile and a half. Moulsey had a nice gallop of nearly a couple o f m iles. Artesian and the Rector galloped a mile and a half.

However, we have alluded to what was really effected by the leading competitors of the remainder of the week at headquarters. Several animals will return home to-day ; but a great number will stay the Houghton Meeting over. THE LIFE OF JOSIAH WEDGWOOD.. By Eliza Meteyard. Vol. 11., completing the work.

Crook, of the pleasure boat Preston, accompanied by two young men, were out fishing on Naze Point, on the Ribble, on Thursday last, when their attention was arrested by a vio lent floundering in one of the shallows in the sands, and they at once concluded that a large salmon had been left by the receding tide. On nearing :t, what was their astonish ment at finding a huge monster that displayed two for midable rows of teeth, and a tail that bristled all over with spines ! Seeing its visitors, this very strange fish showed fight at once, and seemed rather anxious to begin. The three set upon it simultaneously with their spiked rakes and stabbed it repeatedly. After an exciting struggle they at length exhausted the creature and transfixed it with their prongs. With great difficulty they at last got it into the boat. Some fishermen who had seen the " fight" from a distance now came up, and ono of them informed the vic tors that they had captured a " sharp-nosed" skate, one of the three varieties of that fish. This is the first skate ever known to have been caught in the Ribble. Its length is sft., breadth 3ft. 9in., and weight about 601 b. It was brought to Mr. Crooks's, Preston.

(Before Mr. Conunissioner Kerr.) sin:RIFF OFFICERS' FEES.—PHILPOTT V. SCHULTZ. This was an action brought by a sheriffs' officer to re cover his fees for possession and the costs of an inter pleader application. Mr. Webster, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that plaintiff levied, by direction of defendant, upon the goods of a person named Stocker, remaining in possession for ten days, but in the meantime a third person claimed the goods. An interpleader summons was subsequently heard by Lord Chief Baron Kelly and dismissed. Defendant contended that, as nothing had been realised under the levy, and as the interpleader summons had been dismissed, neither fees nor costs could be recovered. • Mr. Webster urged that the costs had been incurred through the express orders of defendant, and therefore Ink must pay. His Honour decided that the plaintiff, having done all he was engaged to do, was entitled to the fess and coats. Verdict for the plaintiff. WORKMEN'S BEER SCORES.-SADLER V. DAY. This was an action to recover for refreshments supplied to the defendant. His Honour—What were the refreshments? Plaintiff—treaci, cheese, and beer. Mrs. Day, a very intelligent and respectable looking woman, said that she appeared on behay. of her husband, who had been served with beer when he was drunk. Ho did not recollect having some of the beer. She had warned the plaintiff time after time not to treat her husband, but he persisted in giv'ag credit, and the result was that she suffered for it. His Honour—Of course, the wives suffer. Mrs. Day—My husband has lost his work through public-houses and facilities afforded to him by the plaintiff. I have seen the plaintiff servo him Nirith beer after he was tipsy, and after I had exprersely asked bitn not to do so. His Honour—l shall send the case before the magistrates at Clerkenwel l , and theylm PI know what to do on liceniii7g day. Mrs. Day—l wish you would. His Honour—What is your husband ? Mrs. Day—He is an engineer, and can earn 355. per week when in work, but he has been out of work seven months through public-houses. His Honour—He must pay the debt at ss. per month. SADLER V. REYNOLDS. This was a second action by the plaintiff to recover for beer and spirits suppliod.to defendant. Mrs. Reynolds said that her husband had lost his busi ness through drinking. She had paid his scores on former occasions, and she had cautioned plaintiff not to trust him, but the fact was that while men could get drink they did not care who paid. His Honour—l am aware of it. How much of this bill was for spirits ? Plaintiff—T hree-quarters. His Honour—Then I shall strike that off. A verdict was then entered for the beer alone. Mr. Sadler denied the accuracy of the statements made by Mrs. Day and Mrs. Reynolds. Great Westein Railway of Canada.. MEETING THIS DAY. Tho ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was hold at the London Tavern to-day ; Mr. Alder man Dakin, in the chair. The report and statement of accounts, already published, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, and the declaration of a dividend of £5 per cent. should be declared free of income-tax, and payable on the 25th of this month in London, said it afforded him, as the organ of the directors, to announce a dividend of 5 per cent., which he was sure would be gratifying to the shareholders. They had at last some sunshine breaking through the gloom that had clouded their atmosphere. The accounts varied very little in form from those of preceding half years, so that the shareholders could at once perceive the improvement that had taken place in their property. The receipts had been increased from new shares by £12,960 6s. 3d., and that fact suggested to the directors the policy of meeting the expenditure from that source, and accordingly they adopted that course. The outlay on capital account was somewhat larger for the past half-year, being £55,675 19s. 3d.; but he thought, when they came to analyse the items of expenditure, they would perceive that the directors had acted wisely in the outlay. They had laid out large sums in new sidings at Hamilton, to accom modate the increased oil business at Bothwell, in rebuild-. ing new bridges and a station at Toronto, by which latter they drive a large amount of their traffic quite close at hand, instead of being, as previously, a distance from the source. They had a loss from the commission of American funds for the half year of £39,806 7s. 6d., as a sum of £54,937 6s. 7d. as compared with the correspond ing period of 1865. The matter which had been so long in dispute between the company and the Commercial Bank of Canada had not been fully arranged, but all the principal points in dispute had been arranged. The company had suffered severely from the fire which broke out at the ter minus of the Detroit and Milwaukie Railroad, by which a considerable amount of property was destroyed. Precau tions had been adopted to prevent this ocurrence again, which was caused by petroleum, and the company's pro perty had been insured in some of the principal offices in the United States and in this country. Having referred to the loss which the directors had sustained by the death of Mr. Gilmore, he said that all who were ac quainted with the present state of the line knew that it was working well, and he believed it was one of the most perfect lines in existence. Their line had given satisfac tion to the public, and, what was a matter of importance to them, it had now proved profitable to the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) Ile adverted next to the Fenian move ment in Canada. The moment the disturbances in connection with this movement wore mooted, their ma nager, Mr. Surniyard, immediately placed all the resources of their line at the disposal of the military, and that no g r e: . tleman had received the thanks of the Governor- their 1 their (Hear, hear.)
