MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The commercial requirements are just now of the Most limited description, and as there is a vague possibility of the Bank of England minimum being reduced on Thursday, there are fewer bills brought forward than would otherwise be the case. The quotations for first-class paper are 4-e and 4+ per cent., and in the Stock Exchange loans on govern ment Stock from day to day arc 3 and 4 per cent. The Stock Exchange Markets have opened with a firm appearance, and a fractional improvement has taken place in most descriptions of Foreign Stocks, and in the different classes of share pro perty. The arrangements for the monthly settle ment in the English Funds are proceeding satisfac torily, but Consols are weak, and are quoted 891 I for money, and 891 for November. Messrs. Neill, Brothers, and Co., in their cotton circular dated New York, 25th September, state as follows :—" In this market there has been a good demand, with sales since our last of 22,000 bales. We now quote Middling Uplands 37c., an advance since last week of 3c. per lb., caused mainly by Speculation, consequent on the less favourable crop accounts. Growing Crop.—The advices received this week are generally unfavourable. There is no doubt that in some sections the worms have reap peared, and these and excessive rains have com mitted serious injury. The vast area of country in which cotton is grown, and the fact that most of those who make good crops keep silent on the sub ject, should make us cautious about believing too readily a " short crop cry." In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been an absence of animation, and several of the principal staples have been at slightly reduced rates. Sugar has barely supported previous quotations, while the dealings in tea have been deferred until the public sales, which commence to-day. In coffee a mode rate amount of business has been done, while rice has been neglected, and tallow has slightly declined, O wing to the large arrivals daily expected from Russia. The sum of £50,000 in sovereigns was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for shipment to Brazil. a meeting of the shareholders in the above bank, held on October 1, for the purpose of attempting a resuscitation of the concern, Mr. Peter Broad, chairman of the committee of investigation, in stating the losses incurred at the various branches up to Christmas last, and, referring to Aldershot, said g‘ that through some fraudulent transactions on the part of the manager there was a. loss of upwards of £12,000 !" As manager of the Aldershot branch of the bank at the time referred to such a statement was calcu lated to do me much harm, and accordingly I called upon Mr. Broad to explain that the irregularities in question were committed by a previous manager, in reply to which I have received the following letter : Oct. sth, 1866. Dear Sir,—l am in receipt of your favour, and much regret that any observation of mine should have been so reported as to cause you any annoyance. With regard to the estimated loss on your branch, that, like most of the others, arises principally from the stoppage of the bank, and not from any fault of yours. The heavy loss previously sustained occurred prior to your appointment, and, of course, can have no reference to yourself. You are at liberty to make any use of this note you please. Yours faithfully, Win. Sharp, Esq., Aldersbott. PETER BROAD. Great Eastern Steam• Ship Com, any. - s - MEETING THIS DAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held ut the London Tavern to-day, " to consider and determine what steps should be taken with respect to the 2,500 shares in the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Limited), held by the company ; and the £30,000 in ordinary stock, to which the company is entitled under the charter party and by the Great Eastern, dated the 25th day of May last, to declare a dividend, to fix the remuneration of the directors for their services since the formation of the company ;" and for other pur poses. _ Sir Daniel Gooch, Bart., presided, and on opening the proceedings moved a resolution to the effect that the 2,500 shares should be distributed amongst the shareholders. Mr. W. BARBER seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said that he had to congratulate the shareholders on the success that had attended their endea vours in laying the Atlantic Telegraph Cable. (Hear, hear.) In spring last he predicted the Most favourable results to their enterprise, and those results had been fully realised. The Great Eastern was instrument 4 he believed essential, to effect the laying of the cable. He would not say positively that it could have been effected by the means of smaller vessels, but he believed it could not be. He read a passage from a report of last year to the Electric Telegraph Construction Company, in which it was asserted that the Great Eastern from her size rendered her fit fez the laying of the cable. It was thought advisable by the directors that for the present X 50,000.: should be reserved. Mr. W. BARBER seconded the resolution. A SHAREHOLDER objected to reserve £50,000 as the company had already £ll,OOO reserve fund, and he thought a report should be presented to the shareholders which would enable them to understand their affairs better. Mr. MITCHELL considered that the matter in question should be left entirely in the hands of the directors, who had already discharged their duties so efficiently, and on whom he passed a high eulogium, referring to the distinc tion conferred on tho chairman. The resolution was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution, the object of which was that arrangements might be made so as to enable the company to let the ship without having to pay for re fitment. That resolution touched the question of retaining £50,000 ; for, if they could not succeed in letting the ship on such terms they would require a large sum for refit ment. It was agreed that the directors' remuneration should be fixed at 2f per cent. It was also agreed that £20,000 should be voted for the directors' services up to the present time. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. Great Eastern Railway. SPECIAL MEETING.-THIS DAY. 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 CHAIRMAN 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 great 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 be 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 Winchnore Hill line was amongst those which had been postponed. With this object it became necessary to raise a large 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 ho 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 3,1• 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 2f 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 the powers conferred by the Great Eastern Railway (Additional Powers) Act, 1866, and the several other undermentioned Acts, a capital or sum of £8,210,423 be authorised to be raised and issued to bear a preferential dividend out of the profits of the company, in priority to the ordinary shares and stock of the company, at the rate of £6l per contum per annum, subject to redemption by the company at any time after the eud of five years from the date on which the same shall be issued on payment of £llO for every £lOO of such capita]."

Mrs. Sheppard, widow of the late Mr. Wm. Sheppard, has written to us to say that she has received the sum of £5O from Mr. Stevenson, the bookmaker, and asking us to acknowledge the same. It will be remembered that Mr. Sheppard 'backed Rama for the Goodwood Stakes to win a large sum, with Mr. Stevenson and another bookmaker, and owing to Mr. Sheppard having died on the day that the race was run for, the bet, according to the laws of racing, became void. This liberal act on the part of Mr. Stevenson is highly creditable to him,.for according to the strict letter of the law it was not compulsory upon him to pay one farthing, and there are many who would have been only too glad to avail themselves of this " get out" in its . entirety.—Sporting Life. We recently announced that coursing in the Home-park at Hampton had been prohibited this season. To this statement we have now to add a rider of a very pleasing character. The Duke of Beaufort, who, as Master of the Horse, had to deprive the coursers of the metropoli tan district of a privilege they had so long enjoyed, has most handsomely placed at the disposal of the Amicable Coursing Club his own grounds at Badminton ; and the first meeting of the club will accordingly take place there on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of the present month. The headquarters will be at Chippenham, on the Great Wes tern line.—The Field, A SAVAGE SCENE IN SEVEN DIALS.-40h11 and Johanna Hurley, husband and wife, were charged with the follow ing savage assaults. Mrs. Julia Riordan said that on Saturday night last sh 3 heard that her child's finger had been bitten off by the male prisoner. She went out and caught hold of the pri soner by the collar to detain him till the police came. The prisoner kicked at her with all his might, and hurt her stomach very much, and while he was still kicking her his wife (the female prisoner) came tip and struck her a vio lent blow on the head with something she had in her hand, and she fell to the ground insensible, and was afterwards taken to the Charing-cross Hospital. Honorah Riordan, a girl, daughter of the last witness, said that seeing the male prisoner about to strike her father she went up and pushed him away, when ho seized her finger, thrust it into his mouth, and bit it. She screamed out, and a man came up and struck the prisoner in the face, and made him release his hold of her finger. The prisoner then ran away. Ann Sullivan, a young woman, corroborated the pre vious witness. _ _ The male prisoner said that while fighting with Mr. Riordan the girl came up and scratched his face. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the male prisoner had been guilty of a cowardly and unmanly assault in biting a child, for which he would be committed for 14 days' with hard labour. With regard to the assault on Mrs. Riordan, he (the male prisoner) had knocked her about without regard to her feelings for her child, and ho would have to pay a fine of 205., or 14 days' for that. The female prisoner had also been guilty of a brutal assault in striking Mrs. Riordan as she had done. The poor woman might be in Considerable danger for what he knew—there being danger of erysipelas setting in—and he should, therefore, remand her to see what condition Mrs. Riordan was in a few days. With regard to the silk trade, Messrs. Durant and Co., in their circular, state . :—We have a very firm market in silk, but not very active business. The arrivals are scanty, but our present very high rang e of prices, fully is. above the quotations of the 7th September, seems sufficient to keep the deli veries to such a moderate scale that our stock does not diminish —still speculative feeling continues, and the successive telegrams are watched with in creasing interest, the great point being the con tinually advancing prices paid in Shanghae, which is looked upon as the most effectual confirmation of the con tinuallydiminishing estimate of exports. In Japan silk we have had a few small parcels of new Bil k) Which have been taken at rather full prices. Be ngal silk has had a full share in the business of the month, but any material advance in prices seems a slow affair. The next periodical public sales are fixed to commence on Wednesday, the 24th inst. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris, to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 12c.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET CARRYING ON BUSINESS WITH AN EMPLOYER'S PRO PERTY. - James Barnes, a joiner, in the employ of Messrs. Rowney, artists' colourmen, of No. 11, Percy-street, Rath bone-place, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of property belonging to his employers. Mr. Lewis, sen., of Ely-place, appeared for the defence. Mr. Frederick William Rowney said—Having received information that the prisoner, who was in our employ as a joiner, was in the habit of nightly carrying away things from our warehouse, 1 communicated with the police, and last night, in company of a constable (Carter, 117 E) over took the prisoner in Rathbone-place. I told the prisoner that I had been informed that he had been carrying away goods nightly, aid, after a little hesitation, prisoner said, " Well, Mr. Rowney, to tell you the truth, I did take a few little things—part of a stretcher and some pencils. The prisoner afterwards said he had taken some T squares. He asked me not to press the charge. lafter wards went by the prisoner's directions to his lodgings, and found some other property there. The prisoner gave me a card, from which it appeared that he was carrying on business on his own account in our goods. Mr. Lewis.—As the prisoner must be remanded, I have to ask that he be remanded at once, and that bail may be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner, but will not take bail. WESTMINSTER. ROUGH DIALOGUE BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE.—John May and Edward Harper, the former standing nearly 6 feet and the latter 6 feet 6 inches, were charged with being drunk and fighting. _ _ George Powley, 228 B, proved that at ten o'clock on the previous evening he saw the defendants outside the Feathers, Broadway, fighting. They were separated, but went across the road and began again. May was then driven right away, but came back again, stripped off his clothes, and commenced fighting again, upon which they were taken into custody. May said—He challenged me to fight, you see. He was in the publichouso, and said he was the Westminster in fant, and would fight anybody. I said 1 was a little 'un, and I had a turn up with him, and I licked him. Harper—Just listen to me. He and me married sisters 18 months ago, and we have not agreed since. I and my wife and his wife were in the public-house. I came out ; he followed me, and would fight me. The police will .prove that ho came back and attacked me. I didn't want to fight. May—lre calls himself a fighting man—the " West minster Infant," and tried to impose upon me, but I beat him. Mr. Selfe—lt says, "Children, never let your angry passious rise." May—You ought to b 3 ashamed of yourself, a big fellow like you. It's a great pity you don't have a cradle and nurse. Harper—Be quiet. Your worship, lam a hard-working man, and I didn't want to fight. May was fined 10s. or 7 days, and Harper ss. or 5 days. May called out as they left the Court, " D'ye hear, I hops you'll put us in a proper cell." MARIiETS.--This Day. HAY.

THE EA.RL OF WESTMORELAND AND - THE RACING TIMES: This Noble Lori has commenced proceedings against the publisher of the above journal for some remarks by a cor respondent respecting Kenyon's riding of Rama in the Leamington Stakes. The writer of the alleged libel stated that Kenyon must be the strongest light weight iu Eng land to have kept Rama behind the moderate lot of horses opposed to him in that race; but ho must have very little knowledge of sporting affairs, or he could not have made such a mistake, as Kenyon did not ride in the Leamington Stakes. The following correspondence, which we have authority to publish, has taken place between the respec tive solicitors on the subject :- 7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar •square, London, 25th Sept., 1666. Sir,—The Earl of Westmorland has consulted us on the subject of a paragraph in page 5 of the Racing Times of Monday, .17th September instant, under the heading, "Doncaster Races, from an Actor's Point of View," in which there is'a statement which can have but one mean ing, viz., that Kenyon, in riding one of Lord Westmor land's horses in the race for the Leamington Stakes, wil fully lost the race, and cheated the backers of the horse out of the money they had staked on him. We are instructed to commence an action on Kenyon's behalf against you (as the publisher of the paper) for the libel, and shall be glad to be informed of the name of your solicitor to whom we may send the writ. We are, yours obediently, Howl . AND MURRAY. The Publisher of the Racing Times, 18, Catherine-street, Strand. CESAREWITCH STAKES.

THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS'S STUD.—The following are the horses belonging to this nobleman which will be disposed of by Messrs. Tattersall ou October 29 ;—Ack 4, Sergeant's Inn, Temple, 29th Sept., 184 G. Gentlemen,—l have been consulted by the publisher of the Racing Times with reference to your letter of the nth inst., threatening proceedings against him on behalf of a jockey named Kenyon, in consequence of an alleged libel contained in the impression of that publication dated the 17th instant. I am quite unable to understand how you can place such a construction as you do upon the pars graph complained of, and I am instructed by my client to say it never was his intention to convey any such mean ing. He has carefully perused the article which has given your client offence, but he cannot see anything in it cal culated to do him the slightest injury. If you will show me in what way Kenyon can possibly suffer from the con tents of that article my client will most willingly insert any reasonable explanation • but if, on the contrary , y ou insist upon resorting to legal proceedings, I will undertake any process you may think fit to issue.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, Wm. JActITET. Messrs. Horn and Murray, Solicitors, 7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square. His Lordship has also forwarded the following amusing letter to a contemporary as an acknowledgment of its receipt, and as it is such a unique epistle we think it worth quoting : "My Lord,—l writ uto say that a long time since from information i received i back-d your horse Thalia for the Cesarwitc and i had a £lOO on the mare at 1,000 to £lO to win me 10,000 when you struck her out—i have since got on Potomac for a 100 at 66 to 1 and i am on Thalia fur the Cambridge £lO,OOO to £lOO for that event and i write to say if you will make a good race of both i will in the event of Either winning i will as a man of honour send you a checqe after the race for one hundred pounds and £lO for the trainer and £lO for tho Lad that rides and you will also have my beet regards. —I am my lord yours respetfully "A GENTLEMAN OF HONOUR."

NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. The following appeared in onr Third Edition of last evening : NEWMARKET. Yesterday and this morning our exercise grounds were completely dotted with horses, among them being several very " distinguished foreigners," and several others aro arriving almost hourly, the special trains being more numerous and much longer than usual. This is a good sign, and we easily believe that the " Second October" will be a veritable monstre meeting. There cannot be less than a hundred and sixty strange horses already stabled here, and accommodation has been secured for a lot more To-day we had about forty Cesarewitch animals at work amongst them being Regalia, Brown Bread, Ostregor, King Charming, Breeze, Rama, Gomera, Verdant, Nu, Bradamante, Duke of York, War, Peon, Lecturer, Caithness, Philosopher, Gibraltar, Lothario, Zenobia. Dulcimer, La Favorite, Aetwa, Lively, Violent, Hawkswell, Jollity, Chepstow, Proserpine, Medina, Sleive Cartie, and Slender. Teddy Br atley's - had not arrived ; and Tom 011iver is not likely to send any thing for the Middle Park Plate. Regalia galloped two miles and a half beautifully; after which Knight set Caithness to take Chepstow over a couple of miles, and the pair of them acquitted themselves first-rate. Ostregor was galloping Actrea, and King Charming working with II Re Galatuomo. Breeze did very little, having been beaten in her trial ; but Lothario was bounding along in first-rate style, led by Tourmalin. Rama and Potomac both galloped two miles ; it is doubtful whether the former runs. Potomac's action was very free, and she is in the bloom of condition. William Goater had also Bismarck, Pamunkey, Owen Glendower, Lady Sophie, Crown Prince, and the Ringtail Screamer in nice work. Verdant galloped uncommonly well, as did Vigorous. Nu was in long steady exercise. Nimble, Pintail, the Splitvote colt, Dulcimer, and Bradamante were out early, and were subsequently joined by Savernake, Adam Bede, Bt tiler, Countess Amy, the two-year-old, Mayonaise filly, Pussy, and others. After their usual canters, Brada manta did over two miles fast, and the little mare went splendidly. The ground is in nice order for her. Saver nake went about a mile and three-quarters, and he never moved or looked better. Adam Bede looks big. The Duke of York did his work very satisfactorily. Neither Peon nor Paris looked as if they could, stand much severe preparation ; and the little Slender does the work of the American party. Their Fitzroy went splendidly, and he has won a great trial. We have all along advised our readers to be on him for the Derby. Everybody was anxious to see Lecturer. Ackworth led him two miles and a quarter at a rare pace, and the form in-which the youngster went made folks forget their early aversion to his diininitive size and lightness of frame. He certainly looks more like a flyer than a stayer, but he evinced no lack of endurance this morning. On the contrary, he went as strong as a little, elephant, and pleased every one. Philosopher is as slow as Grafton's grey, and Gib raltar, though he be in the sere and yellow leaf, looked uncommonly fresh. Zenobia was eagerly sought after, as the mysterious horse of the race; but she does not appear to have done sufficient work, albeit her action is good, and she went a couple of miles admirably. Dulcimer galloped two miles, and so did the Squire. Surney exercised freely, but being in the Proserpina interest, was almost entirely discarded ; and no one seemed to trouble after Emigrant or Sealskin, who were taking things rather quietly. Dubiety is on the small side, but no animal could possibly be made more fit, and her two mile gallop this morning was got through superbly. La Favorite rattled over a similar distance in beautiful form, and is said to have been specially kept for this. Lively went short, and Slieve Carne_ very little better ; but Jollity was as free' as 'direr in her action' and . is quite ripe. Hawkswell did -his work with Zenobia. 4Vith regard to Proserpine we have to report very favourably. She appears a different mare to what she was in the " First October" week, and goes delightfully, skimming over the heath like a bird ; 'and, from the manner in which he ac complished her two miles this morning, we were bound to infer that she can stay. Plutus and Sultan did a mile and a quarter. Master Richard led Vauban quite a mile ; and Mirella pioneered Marksman, Blanche of Middlebie filly, Miss Ann filly, and the Sunflower filly. Lady l e legt? r, Ischia, The Captain, Ines, The Duches s, Jack _ltinti7 Green, Mr. Pitt, Tumbler, Whirligig, Pantaloejon,al_afs, roo, Glendale, Gomera, and several others of John aidee and were in active exercise ; and Drowett had also Pirate Chief at work. The Rake did no . t but Fripponnier ing been " bested"on Saturday afternootn went about a did plenty. Podargus and much, hav ing Difference took mile and a quarter ; and Split a couple of miles, Lord Lyon very nearly an d looking first class. one, , Achievement doing Julius,dalbane took Kuizilt of the and Bombastes had a mile aedfast.

Of course there was it great quantity of home In connection with the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, in the department fo'r economy and trade, a meeting was held on Friday afterncion, in the Crown Coed of the Assize Cote Ls, "for the promotion of the employment of women." The Earl of Shaftesbe- y pre sided, and the court was crowded, a considerable l portion of the audience being ladies. The chairman said their object in meeting was to consider if in any way they could give employment to women who possessed a certain amount of education—not for those who became occupied ih mills, or in ordinary service, but those who, having some education, . wished to know how they could turn it to account. The path was not altogether a new one, for some successful experiments had already been made. Women had been employed in printing, in bookkeeping, and in telegraph offices. He had seen 400 women employed in one de partment of telegraph despatch, and they were open to a still larger supply of those who were capable of discharging the duties. Ho had been told that women might be employed in the decoration of dwelling-houses and apartments. Some decorations by women had been Shown him, and they were both skilfully and tastefully executed, and he thought that a very suitable branch. There was a very great preponderance of females ; he believed there were from half a million to 600,000 more women than men. Many of those must consequently be shut out from the hopes which women usually enter tained, therefore it became a duty to consider how all this talent could be turned to account. This might apply in some instances to married women, but more particu larly to unmarried women, who, if they were employed, might even earn something towards enabling them to enter the married state. The object was well worthy of attention and support, and : s he hoped every man and woman would give attention to the development of a scheme which, if efficiently carried out, would pro mote the welfare and happiness of a large and interesting class of the community. (Applause.) The Rev. S. A. Steinthal spoke of the disadvantage at which women were often placed for want of suitable training. It hadbeen found that they were quite capable of law copying ; that,they had done well in photographic establishments ; and that in wood engraving they had been usefully and profitably employed. And not only as trained nurses, but in the higher grades of the profession, there were forms of illness in which women might be valuable practitioners to their own sex. In this re spect, ho wever, we were more backward in Englandthan they were in some other countries, as Belgium and France. He thought that even in mills and large manufactuting estab lishments, the superintendence of educated ladies might be most valuable. An experiment of this kind had been tried, and with beneficial resuit. He moved—" That a society bo formed in the city of Manchester, similar to the societies in stituted in London and Dublin, for promoting employment of women. The Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, in seconding the motion, said he took up the subject of the Cambridge exa mination of girls, in order to seeu-e for them a fair stan dard of competition. The lady teachers of Manchester did not shrink from it, but rather invited it, and had formed an association themselves. He wished it was more gene rally known how privately and delicately the examina tions in the Royal Institution were conducted by Mrs. Bowers, the wife of the dean. The difficulties in the way of marriage were constantly increasing. The report of Mr. Horace Mann showed that there were 1,500,000 women between 20 and 40 years of age unmarried, while there were also 400,000 beyond the age of 40. The work ing classes were improving their position, and th i tir sons were being educated for the profession, so that young men of the class above them found it more difficult to find em ployment which would enable them to marry. The diffi culties were increased by the higher price of provisions and more costly dress. To provide for the occupation of women was, therefore, becoming every year of greater importance. In all the arts requ'ring dexterity, neat ness, and patient thought, women, he believed, might be successfully employed. 'irrespective of religious deno minations, he thought there was a mission for them in being employed to seek out the destitute ; in watching at the bedsides of the sick ; and in administering to the poor in various ways.—Mr. G. W. Hastings supported the motion. He said he was not afraid of women doing anything they were unfitted for. Failure would soon set them right, as it did men. His opinion was that women should be.allowed to do whatever they felt themselves fitted to perform, but they would find it necessary to study and prepare them selves for the work, or they would not succeed.—The Chairman said he must retire, btit before doing so would remark, that he believed one great obstacle to marriage was the intense selfishness of the young men. (Laughter.) According to the luxury of the times, young men would not marry unless they could ensure au equal amount of luxury as they could afford when single.—Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., spoke of the importance of parents inducing their daughters to study thoroughly some parti cular branch of business, or of art, and moved that a com mittee be appointed consisting of Mrs. R. N. Philips, Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Jevons, Mrs. Herbert Philips, Mr. Steinthall, Mr. Youle, the Very Rev. the Dean, Mr. T. Bremner, the Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, Mr. Robert Gladstone, and Mr. J. Duffield, secretary. The Rev. Canon RiehSon, in seconding the resolution, said there was needed more free trade in labour ; that there were restrictions and prejudices which ought to be removed, so that all could have free scope for their exertions. The proceedings then 4osed. STEPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEND, Tuesday Morning, Arrived, Oct.
