The rates range as low 3 i 4 pre m. Gold to the amount of £18,009 was taken to the Bank en Saturday, and there was a withdrawal of 5,000 sovereigns for Egypt. n The Au s t ra l as i a has arrived from New York with £40,100, and the Louisiana with £5OO, in specie. The general business of the port of London last week e x hib ited rather more animation. At the Cust om -house 219 vessels were reported as having iarrived from foreign ports, and there was one from The ent r i es ou t war d : , com p r i se d 130 yes ,e's, and tho se c l eared were 112, of which 18 were despat c h ed i n ballast. The departures for the Australian colonies have been five vessels, viz., two to Port Phillip of 2,079 tons, two to New Zealand O . f 1,117 t ons, and one to Sydney of 686 tons, the total ton nage amounting to 3,882. th rota the manufacturing districts the accounts for n ,_ e Past week h ave b een o f a rat h er unsat i s f ac t ory „utaracter.

We are authorised to state that the announce llent ' w hich appeared'in the Globe on Saturday, to t he effect that a call of ss. per share bad been made by the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining C°l33l3any, is entirely incorrect.

In conformity with the announcement which ap peared in the papers for some time past, Lord Chief Justice Erie this day retired from the important position he has so long occupied on the bench as the Chief Judge of this Court. Long before the ordinary business of the Court had been transacted every portion• of the building was crowded by members of the bar, and several ladies were accommodated with seats in the gallery. Indeed the crowd was so great that it was with much difficulty the members of the press were enabled to discharge their duties. All the judges of the court resumed their seats on the bench shortly after one o'clock. . The Attorney-General rose, and said that he at tended there that day on behalf of the bar for the purpose of expressing to the Lord Chief Justice, on this the last day of his presiding in that court, the great respect and vemeration which were felt by the body at large towards his lordship for the manner in which he had discharged for so many years the important duties of the judicial bench. Per haps if the wishes of the learned judge were con sulted he should have abstained from paying that tribute to his eminent services, but there were cases in which the impulses of the heart should be obeyed, and the present occasion was one of them. Occupying the position he did, and partaking largely of the general feeling of the bar, he could not forego the pleasure of giving ut terance to the general sentiment which the learned Judge had inspired in the mind of the bar from the upright and efficient manner in which he adminis tered the law, and which had inspired confidence in the public mind. The right hon. and learned gen tleman then referred to the past career of the learned lord in brief but eloquent terms, and at the conclusion of his address a murmur of applause ran through the court. Lord Chief Justice Erle, who appeared much affected, said he felt deeply the manner in which the feeling of the bar towards him had been ex pressed, and the remembrance of it would always be accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude. He should also feel grateful when he remembered the assistance he had received from the bar, and which enabled him to discharge his duties in a satisfactory man ner. He was also deeply indebted to the learned judges with whom he had been so long associated, and from whom he derived the greatest possible assistance by an interchange of thought. lie then expressed his personal feeling towards the Attorney- General for the kind manner in which he bore testimony to the services he bad rendered, which induced his belief that his labours had not been in vain. The Court then adjourned. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week. Miles Opened. Receipt a. tLailways. 1866. 1865. 18(6 1865 .6 Z Belfast and N.

Thera was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. Holders, however, both of rod and white produce, were very firm, and late prices were supported. Fine barley commanded extreme rates, whilst medium and inferior qualities commanded full prices. For flour there was a fair demand, and the quo tations ruled firm. The wheat trade on the Continent is very firm at fully late rates. The supplies of produce afloat to this country are gradually increasing. At New York the tendency of prices is downwards. Only moderato supplies of English grain have been re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 3;,119 quarters of wheat; 21,623 barley ; 55,010 oats; 1,510 rye; 4,-121 beans; 1,621 peas; 20 tares; 8,160 linseed ; 13,108 rape and oilseeds; 426 maize ; 130 sundry seeds ; and 26,420 sacks of 11.)ur. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-lay was very moderato. The condition of the produce was but middling. Owing to the largo import of wheat and flour last week, there was much less activity in the trade, and factors were firm in.their demands, and held both red and white produce at fully the late advance in prices. Millers, however, wore only buyers at lower prices; hence sales progress slowly, and the business transacted was chiefly of a retail character at last Monday's rates. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The trade for most qualities was rather quiet. In prices no change has taken place. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Fine qualities ruled firm, at full currencies. Medium and infe rior produce was dull and rather drooping in value. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full prices. There was only a moderate demand for malt, at late rate. With oats the market was moderately supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled inactive, at. late rates. Beans was in moderate supply. The trade, on the whole, was steady, on former terms. Peas were in moderato request, at previous quotations. The market was fairly supplied. _ . . _ In the value of flour no change took place. The trado was firm. Linseed and rapeseed - ruled quiet, on former terms. In other seeds very little business was transacted. Cakes were firm, and 5s per ton dearer than on Monday last.

Although there was a fallingoff in the supply of foreign stock, both as to number and quality, the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-fed stock were moderate, but in improved condition. The show of Irish stock was rather extensive, of Scotch limited. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state at, in some in stances, a decline in the quotations compared with Mon day last of 2d per 81bs. However, the best Scots and crosses were worth 5s 40, per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,600 short-horns, ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; 55 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 700 oxen, The supply of English sheep was on the increase, and most breeds come to hand in good condition. For all breeds the demand was heavy in the , extreme at a reduction in prices compared with Monday last of -Id per 81bs. A few very inferior Downs and half-broils sold at Gs 4d ; but the general top quotation was 6s per 81bs. Heavy Downs and half-breds may be quoted at 5s 8d to 5s 10d, and prime Lincolns 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. _ _ Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request at full prices, viz., from 4s 8d to 5s per 81bs.

FLAMMACK V. TILE KEY. T. B. SIMPSON. In this case, which has acquired so much publicity, and is better known as the East Teignmouth case, came again before the court this morning. The defendant is the incumbent of East Teignmouth, and proceed ings were instituted against him in the Diocesan Court of Exeter,. by the request of the Bishop of Exeter for alleged practices in the peformance of the services of his churcb, at variance with the !Huai of the Established , Church. The charges against the reverend defendant wero for using lights on the altar when they were not required, mixing water withithe wine for the Holy Communion, elevation of the patten over hrs .- head, placing the alms on a stool at the side of the table, and omitting the concluding words, " Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all." The Queen's Advocate, who appeared with Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Hamer, raised an objection on behalf of the defendant as to the jurisdiction of the Court, but that ob jection had been overruled by the Court below, and it now came before his lordship for decree, it being contended that tie letters of request contained no dates. His Lordship now gave judgment, overruling the objec tion. The decision is Wry important, as a large number of eases depend upon it, but there will bean appeal against it COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE THE REV. J. C. EDWARDS-SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND A HARD CASE. This bankrupt, who is the rector of Ingolts'-well, Lin colnshire, a prisoner for debt, applied to-day for his release from custody. His debts are £226, of which £27 only is due to the detaining creditor. It appeared that the bank ritpt had met with a very serious accident, the result being that his leg was amputated. To this accident he attributed his present misfortunes. His Honour said he could not interfere, nor could he order the release of the bankrupt until after the choice of assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROCGII-STREET. REFUSING TO PROSECUTE OWING TO RELIGIOUS SCRUPLES. William Young, errand boy to Mr. Charles J. Padgett, of 21, Brewer-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two gold chains, 18 gilt chains, and a quantity of rings and earrings, of the value of about £2O, the property of his employer. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Police-constable Gordon, 33 0, said that Mr. Padgett declined to give evi dence against the boy, having religious objections to doing so. The boy was charged with stealing about £2O worth of property. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the officer what was the nature of Mr. Padgett's religious scruples? Gordon said he believed Mr. Padgett was a follower of Mr. Spurgeon. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, if a person liked because of Mr. Spurgeon to be robbed of £2O worth of property, ho (Mr. Tyrwhitt) could not help it. Gordon said there were other charges against the prisoner at Marylebone. -- Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would discharge the boy, and if the officer thought proper to take him into custody ou other charges he could do so. The officer took the boy into custody, and left with him for Marylebone. WESTMINSTER. CRUSADE AGAINST POOR PERSONS.—WiIIiam Hewitt, aged 9 years, and William Wilmott, aged 15, were charged with begging under pretence of selling fusees on the street.. Sergeant Broocker, officer in kplain clothes, said that the two boys were following passengers at the Victoria Station on Saturday, touching their hats to several gen tlemen, the bigger boy evidently giving the lesser one instruction from time to time. Both had a box of fusees in their hand ; the younger one had six more boxes upon him. They had been there several times before, and he had given the little one halfpence when loitering about the station and sent him home. Hewitt's mother, a very creditable-looking woman, said that she had five children and a husband out of work. Mr. Selfe—There is a now law by which bogging, under cover of selling things, is an offence. The Mother—l did not send bin' out to beg. I gave him sd. to get two dozen boxes of matches, and. they ought to have turned in a shilling. I did not send him out to beg. The children must do something for a living, or else we must starve. There is no harm surely in his selling matches. Broocker—The sister also is out, and there are a great many complaints from the Victoria Station. Mr. Selfe —lt may be an annoyance to some persons who don't smoke to have fusees offered to them, but if these poor boys are really only selling their matches—if it is really a mercantile transaction in a small way, a bona fide mode of getting a living, I should be sorry to interfere with them. The Mother—What are poor people with large families to do if their children are not allowed to get an honest livelihood? Tbis boy's father is dead, and his stepfather is out of work through illness. Mr. Selfe—l should be very loth to see the streets swept indiscriminately of these children. The crossing sweeper might be included with others trying to get an honestliving however useful he may be. The shoeblack may be deemed a nuisance if he follows and touches his hat and impor tunes persons, and yet the shoeblack is a recognised insti tution as much as the police magistrate, and I suppose he is not to be interfered with. Inspector Humphreys—We have no desire to interfere with any of these persons if they are really only endea vouring to sell their wares. There are sometimes as many as 20 at a time round the Victoria Station and the Wilton road. Mr. Selfe—l must admit I might be accused of buying of them myself. The boys were then discharged, with a caution that they - must sell their goods without importunity and annoyance. THAMES. AN limn CHRISTENING.—MichaeI and Ellen Mahoney, man and wife, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting and wounding a woman named Cotter, who is now under medical treatment, and was unable to appear. It was stated at the outset that she hacl_ received a dangerous wound on the head, and that she had been attended by Dr. Horton, divisional surgeon of police, of High-street, Stepney. John Cotter, of No. 2, Jamaica-place, Limehouse, said— This man (Michael Mahoney) and his shister were having a jawing match in Muddy-land— Mr. Paget —And where is Muddy-lane ? Tho Irishman was a loss to state where it was, but Mr. Livingston, the chief usher of the court, explained that Muddy-lane was in reality Old Church-road, Stepney, running parallel with Arbour-stroet East, in which the Thames Police Court was situated, and had been long dignified with the name of Muddy-lane. Cotter proceeded—Well, sir, I did not trouble myself about the jawing match, bUt Ellen Mahoney threw beer, and Michael hit me a great big blow with a gallon can, which kilt me and murthered me quite, and his wife hit my wife on the head with a glass tumbler and kilt her. Michael Mahoney—Now, Misther Cotter, hishn't your wife my shister ? Cotter—Yes, bedad it is so. Mr. Paget—Then Why did you not describe her as his sister before, and not leave the thing a mystery ? Michael Mahoney—Well, I joined with sty shister, and she was getting tight. Her husband was getting tight and quarrelling, and said he would serve out both of us, and he catches hold of me and kicked me, and catches hold of my wife's face. Ellen Mahoney, a very pretty young woma n, with a fine baby nicely dressed in her arms, said she invited her husband's sister and John Cotter to the christening, and they got up a row and beat her. Mr. Paget—What christening was it? Ellen Mahoney—My dear little baby, hero raising the infant in her arms. Mr. Paget said it was alleged that Mrs. Cotter had been severely wounded, and that the wound was a dangerous one. He could not dispose of the case till he had more information as to the condition of Mrs. Cottk. IFO must, therefore, remand the pri*o.lloll4'. LAUNCH OF THE GREAT REPUBLIC,'. As we briefly announced yesterday morning the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's new steamship Great Republic, the first of the ships now being constructed for the new line between San Francisco and China, was successfully launched from the shipyard of Mr. Henry Steers, at Greenpoint, on November 8, in the presence of a large.number of ladies and gentlemen, drawn thither by the public announcement in the Times and others of the city papers of the launch of the largest ship yet con structed in America. Tonnage alone fqrms no basis for comparing the size of a sailing-ship with that of a, steamer, all the space occupied in the latter by the machinery being excluded in calculating 'her capacity in -tons. The space so excluded in a steamer of this immense size would of itself contain bodily what, not many years ago, would have passed for a large vessel. Length, extreme 3BO feet. Length between perpendiculars 360 feet. Width of beam, moulded 4B feet 6 inches. Width of beam, extreme 5O feet. Depth of hold The Great Republic, as we heard from the lips of those present, well known •in the community as veteran marine experts, is not only the largest but, what is specially to be praised in these days, the strongest ship yet built in this country. Our Ame ricanism teaches us to claim as national not what is merely native, but what is also best; and in this point of view we have always taken a just pride in the magnificent fleet put afloat by the Pacific Mail Company, during and since the war, beginning with the Constitution, in 1861, and having such ships as the well-known Colorado, Golden City, Arizona, and Henry Chauncey for models. But the Great Republic, the pioneer of the new fleet for the China trade, surpasses all her predecessors. Her frame timbers are of white and live oak. These fastened with copper and iron, are braced with straps of iron five inches wide and 7-Bths of an inch thick, crossing each other diagonally every four feet. Over this comes the inner planking, which is caulked and payed with pitelLand then double strapped as before, and outside this double-strapping comes the exterior double planking of the very best Georgia yellow pine. The whole is so thoroughly braced and bolted and fastened together with treenails of locust, spikes of 'iron or composition, and bolts of copper, that it is difficult to imagine wind and wave combined of sufficient power to cause distress to so staunch a structure. The Great Republic has three masts, and, to meet the necessities of her route, on which it may at times be desirable to use sails, will be full ship rigged, differing, however, from the familiar arrangement by having her foremast the tallest of the three, and her mizzen-mast the shortest. She has three full decks, unusually stout and strongly fastened, with an orlop deck fore and aft, extending to the engine bulkhead. She has four stout water tight bulkheads, dividing the hold into five secure compartments. The engines are vertical beam, having a single cylinder, in which the piston works, of 1 05 inches diameter, nearly nine feet, and twelve feet stroke. The paddle-wheels are to be 40 feet in diameter, having a face of 12 feet, and each wheel is provided with thirty-four oak buckets. Register Carpenter's Name. Tonnage. Tonnage. Builder.

The most noteworthy incident of the Leamington- meet ing was the objection raised and sustained by Lord West morland against Landlord, for the Donnington Handicap. The important part of the matter—the decision respecting bets—is in abeyance until to-day, by which time it is to be presumed the celebrated Turf adjudicator, Admiral Rous, will have been consulted. In chapter sof the latest edition of his work on " Horse Racing " are the rules of Betting, and I give Rule 2 in (=tens() from his book, as there is no question the decision on Monday next will be decided by it :—" The interest of the bets are inseparable with the interest of the stakes, except when the winning horse is disqualified, owing to a default in making stakes, or if an objection be made to the qualification of a horse on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomination after the race is run, the bets shall go to the horse that comes in first, provided he is of the right age, and that in other re spects 14e has not transgressed the Rules of Racing i" but if the owner of a horse or a person on his behalf sacceeds by fraud or false statements in starting him for a race, for which he is legally disqualified, making himself liable to the penalties in Rule 17, " Laws of Racing," the bets will go with the stakes, whether any, objection bemade either before or after the race. In the Admiral's well-known work is also the following statement of the Claxton case : —Case 20 : Objection made after the race. Claxton, who had been scratched on the let of August in the "Racing Calendar" by his former owner, appeared coloured in the Huntingdon card, and was allowed to start, on the representation of Mr. E. Parr, that he had bought the horse on the 28th July with his engage ments. Lord St. Vincent subsequently declared that when he sold the horse no mention was made of engagements, and Mr. E. Parr having failed to produce the written ac knowledgment required by Rule 34, Suspicion, the second horse, received the stakes; and the bets, by Rule 2, were paid to Claxton, owing to no person making an objection to him before starting. Therefore, as regards bets, I am clearly of opinion that Lord Westmorland is quite out of court, unless the law, which is a very severe one, appertaining to Rule 17, has been infringed, and should be thought applicable to this case. Another serious consideration is the encourage ment to fraud which would be given by allowing bets to be decided in favour of a disqualified horse, under such circumstances, because the stakes are of no moment in comparison with the amount which is speculated on the race. If Rule 17 does not meet a case of this kind the sooner it is altered the better, as there is nothing to prevent any one running the best horse of his year under a changed name, and afterwards getting him weighted as an unknown or indifferent one, winning, say £20,000 in bets, and run ning for a paltry stake, the loss of whith is ridiculous in amount compared to the bets he has made. There can be no doubt, however, that the committee at Tattersall's must come to a decision in favour of Landlord, provided the 17th rule is not enforced, although Claxton's case does not appear to me to be similar, and Hall Court's, being in connection with steeplechasing, certainly cannot be taken as a precedent. I may, in conclusion, be permit ted to express a hope that, when next some of the mem bers of the Jockey Club, who usually decide these knotty questions as stewards of different race meetings, will pro vide themselves with a -copy of - the Admiral's rules o racing, so that they may be able to give a decision at once. I will now turn my att.mtion to the Croydon Steeple chases, the programme of which will occupy Tuesday and Wednesday next. The only •stake, however, which I think it desirable to venture an opinion upon is the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase, the wagering on it having already been very heavy. Astrolabe's performances both over_the flat and in steeplechases, with 13st on his back on several occasions in France, must give him a formidable chance; and it should be recollected that he ran third to l'Africain in a steeplechase last year with only 21b. less on his back. Balder is very well in, but I think on this occasion ho will give way to Meanwood, w h o i s i n goo d f orm, as his running w it with very Philosopherhighly of twillthe e latter , show. i n 1 factbe believe e t thinksO las li t v w er eekTom e em is one of the beat steeplechasers ho ever had. Good accounts have also reached me of Daisy, who, by the way, is adver tised for sale the day after the race. The only other one with any attraction for me is Globule, who has been re served to do a good thing, and may be successful here. Fit and well at the post, my choice is GLOBULE or ASTROLABE, and MEANWOOD will probably get a situation. A FRESH MAN. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE---Ths Day. (BY TELEGRAPIL) GRAVESEND, ➢Monday Morning.

A MIXED-3IETAPIIORIC WAY OF PUTTING IT.--- Writing, the other day, about the Emperor Maximilian and his retreat from Mexico to Europe, our leading con temporary said, in its first leading article—rather oddly " It is probable that the necessity for this step has never been really lessened, though the Emperor appears to have struggled with much tenacity against the impending ex tremity."
