XONE7V -MAIIKET .k.ND COMTvrF,ROIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present symptoms of firmness, owing principally to the scarcity of supplies in the hands of the brokers. The rate for negotiation of the best paper out of doors is equal to the official minimum, and the inquiry at the Bank of England is therefore active. Subscriptions amounting to £300,000, in shares of £2O each, being proverbial scrip to bearer, are required for the East and West Junction Railway Company, which:at present extends from Towcester to Stratford-on -Avon, a distance of 33 miles. The object is to shorten by 30 miles the present narrow gauge route, via Blisworth, between London and the great coal fields of. South Wales, and to afford facilities for the coal traffic between South Wales and London, and the return ironstone between No rthamptonshire and South Wales. The pro spectus states that as a proof of the remunerative traffic to a railway company, it may be mentioned that the existing railways in Great Britain, whose receipts are principally derived from mineral traffic, are the beSt paying and most valuable railway pro perties in the kingdom ; for instance, the Taff Vale Railway, 58 miles in length, of which 38 are double, and 20 single line, constructed at a cost of about £27,000 per mile, carries over three mil lions of minerals one way, and earns £9B per mile Per week, which realises a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum. Two o'CLocK. The English Stock Market has been well sup ported to-day, and prices generally show increased *muss, since the publication of the official docu rnents relative to the revolt in Jamaica, leading to the conclusion that the authorities there have suffi cient power to crush out any remaining sparks of rebellion, which has now nearly spent itself, has Created a more favourable feeling. The large ar rivals of gold, too, tend to create a satisfactory impression, and Consols have improved * per cent., being 89k 1 for money, and 881, less the dividend, for the accounts. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87i I ; New 2f per Cents., 731 ; and Bank of England Stock, 248, 249. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, but prices generally show a short ad vance.

MARKETS—This Day. MAIM-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa turday was very quiet, and in some instances prices de clined to the extent of is. per quarter. Barley and oats moved off slowly, nevertheless the quotations were toler ably firm. Beans and peas changed hands at extreme rates. The flour trade was quiet at full prices. Advices from America report increased, but far from ex tensive, shipments of flour to this country. The exports of wheat, however, had continued trifling. On the conti nent the corn trade generally is rather quiet. Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of English wheat were decidedly on the increase from Essex and Kent, but the condition of the produce was very middling. The trade for all qualities was in a most inactive state. The few dry samples moved off at about in some instances the prices of Monday last. In damp samples sales pro gressed very slowly, and the quotations were is to 2s per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands. For all descriptions the trade was dull, and a decline of is per quarter took place in prices. Floating_ cargoes of wheat were very dull on easier terms. Spring corn afloat was very firm. There was a fair supply of barley on offer. Good and fine malting qualities were firm in price, but inferior barley met a slow sale at barely late rates. The malt trade was quiet, and the quotations were some what easier. Oats were a good supply. On the whole, the trade was steady at last Monday's currency. Beans were in very moderate supply, and the trade was steady at late prices. Peas fully support late rates. The market was scantily supplied. In flour only a moderate business was transacted on former terms. but the demand for nearly all other seeds was inactive. Cakes were in steady'request, at enhanced quotations. TALLOW.

(From the New York Tribune) The fact that gold was discovered some months since, in that portion of Minnesota which adjoins the head of Lake Superior, is sufficiently known. We now learn that still larger and more promising discoveries have very recently been made near Lake Vermillion, considerably further north. The gold is not found in its native state, as in California, but in iron and copper pyrites, as in Idaho. It is in bright sparkling quartz veins from three inches to ten feet in width, and extends for miles ; the amount, in fact, being almost unlimited. . Surface quartz from theso veins has beon assayed at the mint in Philadelphia, and by Professor Kent of New York, and pronounced in both instances to average over $3O of gold to the ton. If these veins increase in richness as they descend—as is almost invariably the case in Idaho and California—it is reasonable to suppose that they will soon yield a profit of $5O or $6O to the ton. The yield of the quartz rock on the Pacific coast varies from $1 to $3OO per ton, but the best paying mines aver age less than $25 per ton. The lands in the vicinity of the mines are unsurveyed, and can for the present only be secured by scrip; which has had the effect of raising Chippewa from 85 cents to $4, and Sioux from $2 50c. to $l2 per acre. A frightful attack of neuralgia in the face and mouth cured by a few doses of Monfsorrs PILLS, the vege table universal medicine of the British College of Health, Euston-road, London, after other means had failed. Sold by the hygeian agents and all medicine vendors. HORRIBLE MUTILATION.—KING'S LYNN, ►Satur day.—A most horrible accident occurred last even ing on the Lynn and Wisbech branch of the Great Eastern .railway, at a place called Wiggenhall St. Mary Magdalen, about eight miles from this place, on the banks of the Ouse. The 730 train at Lynch for Wisbech had left Mag dalen station but a short time when the driver of the engine felt it go over something. The night being dark, he had seen no obstruction on the line, but being alarmed at what he had felt, he shut off steam, and, applytng the break, brought the train to a standstill. On proceed ing back to the place where he felt the engine pass over something, he saw a number of human remains fright fully mangled, and found they were the bodies of two per pons, one of whom was cut all to pieces, a leg lying here, an arm there, and tho head and the heart elsewhere ; and the other severely mangled, but not killed. Assistance being obtained, it was fouud that the men belonged to the village, the one so frightfully and fatally mangled being a married man, named Gunton, the father of a family of 10_ children. The other is an elderly man. It is said the latter was very intoxicated, and the former was acting the charitable part of taking the old man home. It is supposed that deceased either did not hear the train which came behind him or else was engaged in the laudable, but, as it turned out, fatally unfortunate endeavour to get his companion away from the line, when they both fell; deceased being foremost was cut all to pieces, and death must have been instantaneous. The old man, though dreadfully injured, is still alive, and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. No blame what ever is attached to the railway company's servants who had charge of the train. Captain Wilson and the party of explorers have left England for Palestine. Capt. Wilson is to land at Beyrout, and to go by way of Damascus, Banias, Bodes, to Tell Hum, on the Lake of Galilee. Thence he will pro ceed, by way of Cana, to Beisan, and by Zerin to Nabalus and Sebastiyeh. He will then visit Seilum, tho ancient tombs at Tibuch, Beitin, and Jerusalem. At each of the above spots he will make such explorations as he may find feasible and desirable. A GRACEFUL AND BENEFCENT ACT.-11113. ArttOtt, widow of the well-known Dr. Arnott, author of "Physic," has signified her intention of endowing two scholarships for the study of natural philosophy—the one at the Queen's College, Harley-street, the other at the Ladies' College, Bedford-square, to be called the Arnott scholarships, in memory of her late husband.—Builder. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, family, and suite, arrived at Ply mouth per South Devon Railway, on Friday, from Exeter, where they had remained on Thursday night. On Satur day they embarked in the Spanish steam-frigate Gorgona, Captain Escalero, to proceed early on Sunday morning for Ferrol, but were delayed to later in the day, through the half-gale, with thick weather, that had set in. MORE SHIPPING DISASTERS AND Loss OF LIFE. —The late gales in the Atlantic have been most destruc: tive to shipping. Advices received in Liverpool from New York to November 4th announced tho following disaster : —The ship Polar Star, Captain West, has arrived, after a passage of 50 days from Liverpool. She experienced very severe westerly gales, which split all her sails, damaged the standing rigging very much, and carried away her boats, &c. The ship Atmosphere, also from Liverpool, had arrived. On the 13th October, Captain Eves reports the prevalence of a fearful gale from the W.N.W., which sprung the mainmast. On the 17th, in lat. 42.15, lon. 5442, carried away crossjackyard. The Atmosphere had a continuation of heavy gales from the W.N.W. to W.S.W. since October 6. The ship M. Nottebohn, Captain Lamb, from the Mersey, had also arrived at New York, reports on Oct. 16, in lat. 40.05, lon. 57.35, a seaman named T. M'Glode, of Liverpool, fell from the jibboom overboard, and was lost. This vessel also encountered heavy westerly gales on the passage out ; lost some of her sails, and was otherwise damaged. The ship Ocean Ranger, from Liver pool to Savannah, which went ashore on Monday morning at Malahide, near Eowth, has become a total wreck. The crew have been saved. GEN. GRANT.—MiIes O'Reilly, formerly one of Gen. Halleck's staff, but now editor of the New York Citizen, intimates very strongly that Gen. Grant is doing a little too much of the hand-shaking and starring busi ness. It says :—" Can we take his refusal to speak in public as any evidence of excessive modesty when we find him rushing frantically about in all directions to receive the cheers, banners, bows, triumphal arches and compli ments which the public have not yet grown weary of offering to his nodding but silent image ? That a public man should not speak too often or make his views too cheap, is very true; but when, as iu Gen. Grant's case, a man never speaks at all, and leaves us in doubt whether he has ary a red view about him,' the error is clearly on the side of excessive reticence. If he be so painfully diffi dent that he cannot utter even ten words to the crowds he sees kotooing and hullabalooing about his carriage, hotel or railway car—why does he continue to have his very eminent modesty toted all around from Dan to Beersheba, as if with a hunger never to be satisfied for the shouts and ovations of his fellow-citizens ? Some people say that Tecumseh Sherman has done too much talking, and per haps this may be true. Is not Grant doing just a leetle too much of the starring and hand -shaking business ?" SHOOTING IN CALIFORNIA.—Shooting isn't as popular in Nevada as it once was. A few years since they used to have a dead man for breakfast every morning. A reformed desperado told me that he supposed he had killed men enough to stock a grave -yard. "A feeling of remorse," he said, " sometimes comes over me! But I'm an altered man now. I hadn't killed a man for over two weeks ! What'll yer poison yourself with ?" he added, dealing a resonant blow on the bar. There used to live near Carson City a notorious desperado, who never visited town without killing somebody. Ile would call for liquor at some drinking-house, and if anybody declined joining him he would at once commence shooting. But one day he shot a man too many. Going into St. Nicholas drink ing-house, he asked the company present to join him in a North American drink. One individual was rash enough to refuse. With a look of sorrow rather than of anger, the desperado revealed his revolver, and said, " Good God! Must I kill a man every time I come to Carson ?" and so thiss i n w g a ho s t fi h r e e I d a s a t n d m killed r t t h h e e n d ivi bloodthirstydu a I on m t h e s o s p r e o e t n . t o ß v But committed, for the aroused citizens pursued him with rifles, an Mormons. dshotown d o wn at his door.—Artemw Ward among the Mdlle.

Arditi will make her first appearance in England at Signor Arditi's concerts at her Majesty's Theatre. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Thus Day, OLD COURT. The November sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and the Common Sergeant. In charging the grand jury, the Common Sergeant said the session would perhaps be of longer duration than usual, in consequence of the cases in the calendar being of more thanusual seriouness. Tho learned gentlemanthen.referred to thoprincipal indictments, one of which was the attempted murder in Covent-garden by a young man named Murphy. If they theught that the intention of the pri soner was to deprive the young woman of life, then they would .of course return a true bill against him. There was a charge against Dr. Hunter by a Married woman named Merrick. It was a very serious charge, and one which it was exceedingly difficult to disprove. Having detailed the facts, which have already appeared, the learned gentleman said it was undoubtedly aserious charge, but there was something very extraordinary and peculiar in Mrs. Merrick's evidence, as it appeared in the deposition. She raised no alarm, made no complaint, and immediately of ter the alleged transaction left the house. Probably the grand jury would think it Well for both the public and Dr. Hunter to find a true bill, because it was most necessary that the matter should be fully investigated. The next reference that the learned gentleman made was to the indictment against Mr. Hall, the solicitor, and Mr. Lafoucade, which has been so many times before the public in connection with the name of Madame Valentin. The grand jury then returned to their room, and in a short time the trials commenced. At the conclusion of the Common Sergeant's charge Dr. Hunter, in company with his solicitor, entered the court and took his seat below the bar, but he did not remain for more than five or six minutes in court.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to=day was rather extensive. The condition of the beasts and sheep, however, was only middling. Sales progressed slowly, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase. The quality of most breeds was good. From Ireland and Scotland the supply was good. The beef trade was heavy at a decline in the quo tations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81b., and a total clearance was not effected. The top prices for Scots and crosses were 5s to 5s 2d per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 172 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 250 oxen, cows, and heifers. The show of English sheep was again very moderate ; nevertheless, the sale for them was heavy at 2d per 81b. less money. The best old Downs were disposed off at 68 6d per 81b. Nearly all breeds come to hand in but mid dling condition. We were well supplied with calves, chiefly from the continent, and the inquiry for them was very inactive at Thursday's decline in the quotations. There was only a limited sale for pigs —the show of which was good—at barely stationary prices.

The indictments were as numerous as the counsel en gaged in the case. The alleged frauds, it was said, were effected by means of fictitious bills. At the conclusion of the formal evidence, Mr. Shaw, the manager of the bank, was examined with respect to the liability of Taylor to the bank, which amounted to £2,500 Taylor always said the names on the bills were good, and that they would all be met, but such was not the case. Evidence was next taken to prove the opening of certain offices in the City by the prisoners. The case for the prosecution having finished, Sergeant BALLANLINE proceeded to sum up the evidence ho had adduced, but a point of law having arisen, the case was adjourned. TUE CASE OF DR. HUNTER. Mr. Butler Rigby applied that the personal attendance of Mrs. Merrick before the grand jury might be dispensed with, and the depositions taken might be put instead, as she was too ill to attend. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he wished not to throw any impediment in the way of justice. After some conversation it was arranged that the appli cation should be made again to-morrow morning. NEW COURT. (Beforo Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) The Court was 3ccupied the whole of the morning with Mint cases. One prisoner, named Rose, was found guilty of uttering base coin, and there being throe former convic tions proved against him, the learned Commissioner sen tenced him to 15 years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MABLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY. —William Brown, a young man, describing himself as a waiter, but refusing his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with burglariously breaking and en tering the dwelling-house of Mr. William Day, landlord of the Horse and Dolphin, 11, Macclesfield-street, Soho, and stealing a box containing money and a musical box. Mr. Day said—About half-past 10 on Saturday night my barmaid asked me if any one had gone upstairs. I said I thought not. My barmaid then got a light, and, hearing a noise and seeing footsteps on the stairs, I went upstairs, accompanied by my wife. On getting to my bedroom I found the door wide open, and the prisoner then rushed past me down stairs. My wife seized him by the coat tails, and he dragged her down two or three flights of stairs. She was then obliged to release her hold, and then the prisoner made his way down stairs. On getting to the bottom he was secured by, my neighbour and others, when he dropped a jemmy or crowbar on the floor, the bedroom door and a box in the bedroom having been broken open with it. At the same time the prisoner must have dropped a piece of taper, as a piece was afterwards found near where be had passed. A constable was then called in and the prisoner given into custody, having a box, my property, in his possession at the time. He had also broken open a desk and moved a musical box. Police-constable Thomas Davis, 227 C —I was called in and took the prisoner into custody. I found in his pos session a brooch, and also a small box containing money. He said he had the box out of Mr. Day's bedroom. I went back to Mr. Day's house after taking the prisoner to the station, and received from Mr. Day a jemmy" which had been picked up. Police-constable Dickins, 306 A—l examined the jemmy with the marks on the bedroom door and tho desk or box, and they correspond. I also found some wax from a taper on the bedroom door, and a piece of taper of the same colour was picked up in the house. Inspector Harrison—l wish for a remand, as I believe I shall be able to connect the prisoner with an affair of a similar kind. Mr. Tyrrwhitt remanded the prisoner. FATAL QUARREL IN liiSON:GROVE.—A frightful occurrence took place on Saturday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, at No. 17, Nightingale-street, Lisson grove. It appears that a man named O'Flanagan occu pied the upper floor of the house, and a man named Jones the first floor. They have for some time been upon bad terms, but upon Saturday evening, as O'Flanagan was proceeding to his room he was accosted by Jones and his wife on the landing ; words ensued, and Flanagan was stabbed in several places, hit on the head with a hammer, and thrown over the staircase, by which his back was broken, besides other injuries, from which he died before reaching the hospital, where he was con veyed in a cab. Jones and his wife immediately absconded. The woman has been taken by the police, and lodged in John-street station, but the police have not succeeded in taking Jones, although it is thought he will not be long at large. The deceased leaves three children, and the man Jones has five. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.—The weather for the season has been remarkably fine upon the whole on the north-east cost since November came in ; but on Thursday night a remarkable number of casualties occurred through vessels having been caught in a heavy squall which burst upon them about 10 o'clock. The schooner Industry, of Whitstable, went ashore upon the rocks be tween Shields and Sunderland, and she is likely to become a wreck. About the same time the brig Reliance, belong ing to Sunderland, missed stays, and went ashore at Ryhope Nook. Two vessels also drove ashore at Redcar. They were the Leipsic, of Margate, and the lugger Perseverance, of Scarborough, and they both appear likely to be wrecks. No lives were lost, however. The crew of the Ellen, of Stockton, reached Hartlepool from Aberdeen on Saturday. The vessel foundered at sea about 15 miles from the Scotch port. THE EXODUS FROM IRELAND.—The Cork Herald says :—" The best evidence of the extraordinary vitality of the Irish exodus is the still increasing competition amongst steamship owners for a share in the enormous passenger traffic between this country and America. The six lines of ocean steamers making Queenstown a port of call on their passage to America have just been supplemented by a seventh, which promises to afford advantages that will place it on a par with those already engaged in the trade. Messrs. Guion and Co., the extensive brokers of New York and Liverpool, who have hitherto shared largely in the business of the National Company's line, have severed, or are about to sever, their connection with that undertaking, and have started an independent line of first-class steam ships. For the present they have chartered four of the Allan Company's Canadian steamers, pending the construc tion of a fleet of new vessels, of great size and superiority, the first of which will commence to ply in the spring. The departures will be weekly (every Thursday) from Liver pool, calling at Queenstown every Friday to embark pas sengers. Hopes are entertained that the owners' large influence on the other side of the Atlantic will enable them to secure the privilege of conveying the United States' mails, as at present enjoyed by the Inman line. The first of the chartered steamers, the Moravian, called at Queenstown on Friday, bound out, having made the run from Liverpool in 21 hours, although her engines were slowed for some time. She had on board nearly her full complement of passengers, and about fifty addi tional cleared and embarked from the wharf of the agents at Queenstown, within half an hour of the steamer's arrival." Mr. T. C. WELSCIS, an American artist living at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, has lately painted a beautiful picture of Frankfort, which is very highly spoken of by artists and connoisseurs. The view was taken from the former favourite summer-house of the great Goethe. Mr. Welsch not long since had an " Order of Ernestine" con forrod on him by the Duke of Saxe-Gotha for a beautiful Swiss scene painted for the Duke. COTTON-PICKING MACHINE. —The Cairo Times has the following:— "A gentleman paid Cairo a visit a few weeks since, on business connected with a machine for picking cotton, and from its workings the instrument pro mises to be a perfect success. The gentleman alluded to hopes to have the machine ready by the last cotton-pick ing this fall, and to have it in perfect order by th• time the next crop invites picking. This has heretofore been considered impossible, but the principle of this machine is destined to surmou n t a ll oppos i t i on and meet the desired end. Punch hu obtained a valuable recruit to his artistib ranks' in the person of the daughter of a dignitary of the church in the diocese of Manchester.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, drove out this morning, attended by the Hon. Florence Seymour. The Crown Princess of Prussia and Princess Helena also drove out. The Crown Prince of Prussia, with the Duke of Cambridge (who arrived at the Castle last evening, attended by Colonel the lion. James Macdonald) went out shooting. The Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, and Princess Beatrice, with the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, attended Divine service this morning in the Private Chapel. The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Windsor officiated, and administered the Sacrament of the Holy Communion. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, attended by Baroness Schenck and Baron de Rabenau, arrived at the Castle yes terday afternoon, from Sandringham. The Prince and Princess of Wales. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess LOuis of Hesse took leave of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales on Saturday, and left Sandringham, proceeding by the eleven o'clock train from Wolferton to London, for Windsor Castle. The Baroness Schenck and the Baron de Rabenau were in attendance. His Royal Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar also left Sandringham, having terminated his visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester and the Earl of Sefton have also left. On Friday Lord Proby arrived at the Hall on a visit to the Prince of Wales. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by the lion. Mrs. Edward Coke, Lieutenant-General Knollys, and Major Teesdale, and the party staying at the Hall, attended Divine service at Sandringham Church, the Rev. G. B. Moxon, officiating. The Earl and Countess of Mount Edgcumbe left Paris a few day since for Cannes, where they intended to reside during the winter. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch arrived in town on Saturday from Dalkeith Palace, near Edinburgh. The noble duke and duchess are staying at the Earl of Dal keith's residence in Hamilton-place. The Marquis Conyngham arrived in town on Friday, from visiting Lord and Lady Londesborough at Grimston Park, Yorkshire, and has since gone to Bifrons his lordship's seat, near Canterbury. PROPOSED BRIDGE ACROSS THE MERSEY.—We un derstand that a plan is likely to be brought before Par liament next Session for building a bridge across the river Mersey, at a point two or three miles above the town of Liverpool. This bridge, we are told, it is proposed to con struct with a railway, a carriage road, and footways for pas sengers. It is stated that it will be of sufficient height to enable large vessels to sail under it, and that it will be placed so far above the docks, harbour, and the Sloyne as to offer no obstacle to the trade and commerce of the port. The author of the plan is Mr. Brunlees. It is proposed to con nect the bridge across the Mersey with the public street( of Liverpool and Birkenhead ; and to connect the rail way with the central station which is now in course of construction in Liverpool, and which is to be formed at the bottom of Bold-street and Ranelagh-street at one end, and at the other with the railways which run to the centre of the town of Birkenhead, and to the great docks building there. The proposed bridge would be connected with the dock railway running along the whole line of the Liverpool docks, and would also be connected with every part of the docks at Birkenhead by means of the railway which sur rounds those docks. The proposed new bridge would give every railway entering the port, either at Liverpool or Birkenhead, the power of reaching every dock and almost every warehouse on both sides of the liver. We understand that it is the wish and intention of the promoters of the proposed bridge and railway that it should be open on equal and moderate terms to all railways that either now enter the port at Liverpool or at Birkenhead, or that may enter it at any future time.—Liverpool Mercury. TRADE IN CARDIFF.—During the month of Octo ber the exports of coal from this port reached 123,893 tons against 142,564 tons in the previous month, and 120,713 tons in the corresponding month of last year. Coastwise the shipments were 71,513 tons, as compared with 73,670 tons in the previous month, and 75,015 tons in October, 1864. The export returns show that there was an average inquiry for steam coal during the month, the foreign coaling stations especially taking large quantities, and there was cleared for Montevideo alone no less than 10,586 tons. The increase in the coasting shipments was attributable to agood demand for house qualities. 11,250 tons of iron were ex ported as compared with 17,675 tons in the previous month, and the exports of patent fuel reached 4,432 tons, against 5,313 tons in September. Of the iron exported, Alexandria took 3,200 tons, Cronstadt and St. Petersburg 8,200 tons, Catania 2,000 tons, Lisbon 2,315 tons, and New York and Baltimore 2,000 tons. Italy was also a considerable customer for iron. The falling off in the shipments to America was not caused by any decrease in the demand. The returns for the other South Wales ports have already been published. THE MAROONS.—This wonderful and loyal people (the aborigines of Jamaica) have, under Colonel A. G. Fyfo, who led thorn in the last rebellion, turned out for the Government to clear the mountains of St. Thomas in the East of the rebels who seek shelter in the natural wildness of their strongholds. Their appearance, decorated with their well-known " war paint," covered with bushes and twigs of the lignum vitae, struck terror into the hearts of the rebels at Portland and St. Thomas in the East. Where they lay down nothing was dis cernible. of their bodies—nothing but the living bush that covered them. In this way they march without observa tion, and in this way they spring like tigers upon their prey, who, seeing nothing but a forest of bush, imagine themselves secure. They are already scouring the country for rebels, dragging them from their concealment, and exterminating them wherever they have been found. Over one hundred rebels are reported to have been shot by the Maroons in this mission already. At an execution of the rebels, and while the dead bodies were hanging as a public example, the Maroons (we are informed by Colonel Hunt) assembled round the gallows, where they had a war dance, the savage wildness of which was truly grand.—lungston Gleaner. Miss A. PATTL—A Florence letter of the Bth says :—" Adelina Patti has arrived here. Never has the appearance of an artiste in this cityproducod a greater sen sation. All thoughts of Rome and Venice are for the mo ment forgotten, and people rush in crowds to the Pegliauo Theatre, where the office for tickets was literally besieged. The night after her arrival the choral societies assembled before the hotel windows and executed a serenade in her honour. She will make her first appearance on the even ing of the 11th."—Galignani. AMERICAN PAINTINGS.—James M'llenry, besides purchasing Blerstadt's " Rocky Mountains" for $25,000, will also take with him to England other specimens of American art. Several of the English party have bought pictures of our painters. Huntington's painting, "The Republican Court," purchased for $25,000 is to be engraved and published in this city by Mr. Emil Seitz. Tho names of several subscribers for "artists' proofs" have already been handed in. Sir Morton Peto, James M`lienrY Tunis Ambassador, and Henry W ar d B eec h er are among'the the number.—. New York Home Journal. The Bank of Turkey, requiring a capital of £1,000,000 in shares of £5O, has been put forth, the first issue to consi,st of 10,000 shares. The pros pectus states that the company is formed at the ex press solicitation of merchants and others engaged in trading and monetary operations in the Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of extending to the mer cantile community of Turkey that legitimate aid, which, in more favoured countries, is rendered to commerce by well-conducted banking institutions. The directors of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Mail Company have issued a report for the six months ending 80th June. It states that the available net balance of profits is £15,807, and recommending a dividend of 5 per cent. free of in come tax, which will leave £8,507 towards the ap propriations requisite for repair and depreciation when the accounts are made up. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week are generally satisfactory. Although business at Manchester has been very dull, and prices of both cloths and yarns have shown a downward tendency, the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued steady. Operations, however, are limited owing to the near approach of the end of the year. In the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Notting ham there has been little change of importance, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp ton continued activity has prevailed in most depart ments.
