MONEY MARKET AND COMMEROLIL LNTELLIGisN, TWELVE O'CLOCK. All the Stock Exchange Markets present a degree of firmness which is principally due to the cheapness of money, and the favourable manner with which late political troubles on the Continent are being settled. A satisfactory feeling is everywhere appa rent. The Funds have improved per cent., and Consols are 891 I for money, and 89} i for the account. Italian, and most other descriptions of Foreign Stocks, are at enhanced prices. The inquiry for discount accommodation to-day is exceedingly limited, and the opinion is entertained in some quarters that, owing to the increase of the precious metals in this country, and especially at the Bank of England, the authorities will be enabled to lower their minimum next Thursday. The rates of the brokers continue to tend downward, and 31 per cent, is, in exceptional cases, the quotation for t he negotiation of the best short-dated commercial Paper. A sum of £78,000, including 43,000 sovereigns from Australia, was sent into the Bank of England Yesterday afternoon. The following are the current prices of bullion : Ear gold, 77s 9d per oz. ; do., parting, 77s 10id ; doubl oons, Spanish, 74s 6d ; do., Mexican and So uth Americ an , 73 s 6d t o 74s (scarce) ; United St ates eagles, 76 s 21d ; b ar s il v er, 5s ld ; do., con taining gold (5 grs . an d u p w ards), 5s 11d ; dollars, Mexican, 4s 1 d ; English cake silver, 5s 54d. In the F ore i gn and Co l on i a l P ro d uce M ar k e t s du ring the last few days there has been very little animation. Sugar has barely supported previous prices, but a moderate demand has prevailed for coffee, and superior qualities maintain previous fates, Rice has been dull, and only moderate deal ings have been reported in tallow at slightly reduced rate s for both present and forward delivery. The shareholders of the South Kensington Hotel Co mpany, at an extraordinary meeting held yester day, unanimously agreed to oppose the winding up petition recently presented to the Court of Chancery. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the last week in September, amounted to $120,160 against $131,006 in the co rresponding period last year, showing a decrease of 10 ,846. The receipts for the month of Sep tember were $526,959 against $540,537 in the same month of 1865. The receipts from Ist January to 30th September amount to $4,141,037 against $ 3 , 7 99,798, showing an increase of $341,239. The traffic returns of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company for the month of August amounted to £2,737. Two o'CLoc K. Affairs at the Stock Exchange have not been so dull as they were yesterday, but there is plenty of room for improvement, and business is exceedingly inactive. Values, however, are remarkably well sustained, and Consols remain firm at 891 1 for money, and at 894 1 for the account. Several bargains have been recorded in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities, which aro firm at 891 1 ; the Annuities, 1885, have been dealt in at 12 13-16 15-16. Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. prem. Bank Stock has improved to 244 246 ; India 5 per Cents. are buoyant, at 106/ ; the 4 per Cents., 941; En faced 5 per Cents., 101 ; Debentures, 102 ; and Bonds, 22 prem. Most of the Foreign Stocks have been dealt in at unproved prices. Mexican have risen I, to 151 16 ; the New Loan remains at 11/ 12 ; Italian, af ter being 551 56, are now 551 1, showing an adva nce of / p er cen t .

A d v ery moderate amount of business has been on e in the R a il way Sh are mar k e t, and in some instances.ri prices are a shade flatter.

This gentleman, who has so long amused the public at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, died sud denly yesterday afternoon at his residence, Spring field-terrace, Kentish-town. He was at the Egyptian Hall in the morning, as usual, made several calls, and looked in at Mr. Mit chell's Royal Library, Old Bond-street, about two o'clock, and left there in a cab for his home. Upon his arrival it was evident he had ruptured a blood-vessel, from the flow of blood. He partook of his medicine only once, uttered two short words, and expired shortly afterwards, calm and unconscious. "In the midst of life we are in death" was never more fully exemplified than in the above melancholy event. MARKETS. —This Day. HAY.

This service was commenced in July last, and has been performed with punctuality up to the present time. It is, however, too early to judge of the value of this contract, but the directors believe that this extended service will materially benefit the Cape and Mauritius lines, and will afford a regular and increasing through traffic to India. The Cape and Mauritius service has been performed with the usual regularity during the past half-year, and without accident or casualty of any kind ; and although the late financial distress at the Cape colonies has had its influence on the trading operations of this company, the directors are enabled to recommend the p ayment of a diyidend of £1 per share.

JAMES HANNAY TURNED CONSUL.—It is said that Mr. James Hannay has received the reward of his brilliant journalistic services to the Tory party, says the London Review, in the appointment, just conferred on him, of the consulship at Dunkirk. The reward is not a very magnificent one ; but Mr. Hannay is not the man to linger very long in the shade anywhere, and he will probably make his way in due time to some superior post. Central Criminal Court—This Day. -- - OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CHARGE or PERJURY. Mr. Ribton applied to the Court for a postponement of the trial of Charles_ Mayhew, who was indicted for making false affidavits, with a view of obtaining remission of the fines inflicted at the Central Criminal Court for non-attend- ante as jurors until next session, as he was physically un- able to attend. The application was granted. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A PAUPER LUNATIC. Henry Burton and Edward Morgan, two warders en gaged in the Surrey Lunatic Asylum, were indicted with assaulting a man named Tite, ono of the unfortunate in mates in the establishment. _ Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoners. The following witnesses were examined : Arthur Kennedy said be was painter, and on the 20th of Sept. ho was engaged at work at No. 2 ward of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. He saw Tito in his cell, and soon after Sims, the attendant, went in, told Tite to get out, but he refused, but ultimately he began to dress himself. The two defendants afterwards went in, and when Tito cane out he heard him say ho would shift himself and show the marks of ill usage to the surgeon. He (Tito) appeared to be suffering very much, and, finally, Tito said he would be the death of the first person he met. He walked away, and the next thing he (witness) saw was Tito on the ground and Burton standing over him. Tito had hold of a chair. A whistle was blown, and then Morgan came in and went towards Tite and fell upon him. He saw Morgan hit the man, and while he was doing so, Burton WAS at Tito's head holding him dawn. Cross-examined by Mr. Robertson.—lle did not know there had been a fight with the lunatics the night before. Tito was very excited, but his threat to murder some per son was after he came out of his cell. Tho matter occurred -- ....... . —.... ... -- on a Thursday, and the — first time — he mentioned what ho had seen was on the following Saturday. lie and his master talkod about the matter over their breakfast the same morning that it occurred. Fraser, another painter, said ho was engaged with the last at work at the Surrey Lunatic Asylum on the day mentioned. He had but an impel feet view of Tito's cell, but he bad a good view of the whole of the gallery. Be tween six and seven in the morning he saw 'rite walking about the cell in a very excited stato. Ho had a chair in his hand. A door opened, when the defendant Morgan came in, and seeing Tito threw him down. He kept his knee on his stomach, and punched him on the ribs. A whistle was then blown, and Burton and Hunt came in. While Morgan was punching the man Burton seemed to him to be holding Tits down. He was at his head, but he did not see him do anything to Tite except to hold him down. Tito was lifted up by Burton, and then Burton and Morgan (the defendants) again threw him violently down. Tiley afterwards lifted him up, and put him into another room, and ho then heard a noise as of some one falling. He afterwards heard Tite begging for mercy, two or three times. Sims was in the ward, and he must have soen all that was going on. Cross-examined—The lunatic was very much excited. He was swearing, and then saw him take up the chair and swear that he would do for every one. Had ho met him abroad he should have considered him as a raving lunatic. He had known Tito as a patient for two or three years• He did not know that the ward in which the matter oc curred was called the refractory ward. Morgan rushed at Tito directly he came into the ward, and the chair, he thought, must have then dropped from his hand. Burton did not come in until the whistle was blown, and after that the three persons, Morgan, Burton, and Sims, took Tite into the room or cell by force. They had all been in the cell about two or three minutes, when he heard Tite begging for mercy. The men had to carry Tito to tho cell as he was so violent. Re-examined—He heard Tite call out " Have mercy, have mercy," two or three times. William Conn, another painter, said at the time of the occurrence he was working in 62 ward. The first thing ho heard was a patient holloaing, and on looking ho saw the defendant Morgan kneeling on the ribs of Tite, and holding him with one hand and striking him with the other. He heard Tite complain of the illusage, and threaten Mo:•gan that he would tell the doctor. Morgan then threw him down and rammed his head against the ground until the blood flowed. Burton and 'Sims stood looking on at the time. He heard the whistle blown, and then Burton took the man to the sink, and he afterwards heard a choaking sound as of a man strangling. After that he saw Burton take the man by the back of the neck and throw him to the ground two or three times. He was so overcome that he did not observe what Morgan was doing at the time. Cross-examined—He did not see anything done with a chain. The two first rounds took place in Tite's cell. Morgan was the only person with Tite ; Sims and Burton were looking on. He saw Morgan kneeling on the patient, who was undressed. When Tito came out of his cell Burton took him to the sink. He did not know what became of Morgan and Sims, as he went on with his work. He was working in one of the cells when he heard the whistle, and then it was he came out into the gallery. Tite was not violent until Afton-he had his " whalloping " (laughter)—and it was not until Tite threatened to tell the doctor of the illusage that Burton threw him down and knocked his head on the floor until the blood spurted out. He had not mentioned the blood spurting out of Tite's head until to-day, because he had not been asked the question. Tito was locked in his cell after he was brought from the sick ward. The threatening language was not made use of by Tite until after the illusage. He had had a private conversation with Tite as he sat in the recess. Ho asked Tite how he felt. He was sure it was Burton who took Tite back to his cell. He had been told by the at torney not to say anything more than he was asked, and that was the reason he had not before spoken about the blood. Mr. Mitchell, head attendant at the Surry Lunatic Asylum, said Morgan had been engaged there for four years, and Burton about seven months. Sims was also a warder, and he had charge of the ward in which Tite was lodged. On the 20th of September he first saw Tite. He was then asleep in his bed. At nine o'clock he saw him limping about the yard, and appeared very much beat. He spoke to Tite, and in conse quence of what ho said he (witness) spoke to Burton who requested him to tell what had occurred with respect to George Tite. He informed Burton he had been told something by Tite, and that he desired to know what he know of the matter. Burton said he bad seen Tito in an excited state, and hearing the alarm whistle he weut into the ward to assist Sims. He said Tite hal a chair in his hand and was threatening to strike. Ile (Burton) went in company with Sims to take the chair from him. That a scuffle took place, but that he did not use any more force than was necessary to place Tite in his own room. Ho remarked that something more than mere restraint had been resorted to, and he (Burton) said he had done nothing more than was necessary under the circumstances.' Ho did not see 'Morgan until some time after. It was Sims' duty to report the matter to him. Ile had been seven years in the asylum. No warder is allowed to strike a patient. Cross-examined--During the four years Burton had been in the service of the establishment he had never received any complaints about him. No. 2 ward was not the re fractory ward. Tito was not at the time of the occurrence a refractory patient, and he only had been so during the time ho was subject to fits. He had heard that Burgess, another patient, knocked Tite down, and Burton told hint of that early the next morning, but ho did not know that a regular fight had taken place. Re-examined.—•lt was six weeks previous to the occur rence that Tito had had fits. Dr. Grabham said he was medical attendant at the Asy lum. He examined tho body of Tile, and found a bruise on the cheek bone, but ono bruise was over the breast bone. Tite complained very much of the inside of his mouth. Blood might have. flowed frcm his gums two hours before. When he first saw Tite's body the bruises were not so apparent as they became a day or two afterwards. He was of opinion that the injuries had been received but a few hours before he made his examination. The bruise on the cheek bone might have been inflicted the day previous. He received no report relative to Tite from the 'Warders before he made the examination. By Mr. Ribton—A knock down blow from Burgess would account for the bruise on the cheek bone. Ho thought some blood might have run from the bruise on the cheek bone. By the Court—He knew of no part about the head that the blood could have spurted out. It might, however, from the gums. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Ribton then opened the case for the defence, and contended that no more force was used towards Tito than was absolutely necessary. George Frederick Townshend said he was attendant in No. 3 ward. He recollected a fight taking place between Tile and another patient named Burgess. Burgess was re moved, and afterwards Tite was taken to his coll. Burgess attempted to kick Tite, but he prevented it. Ho did not see the beginning of the fight. All he did was to remove both patients. He had another patient to look after, who was at the time in a bath, and while doing so, Burgess and Tito got fighting again. Felix Sims said he was an attendant at the asylum. He recollected on the evening of the 19th September Tile and Burgess having a fight. Burgess kicked Tite many times very violently. There was a bruise on Tite's cheek. Bur gess was taken to his cell, and Tito was told to keep himself quiet. Tito refused to do so, and he was forcibly put to bed. When he went the next morning to Tite he told him it was time he got up. He refused to rise from his bed. He took the bed clothes from him and called Burton to his assistance. Tite, on Burton entering, flew at him and seized him by the arm, and with some difficulty it was disengaged '„from Tite. Ulti mately he became quiet, and he was taken to the sink to wash, and after that as he was sitting in the recess, he asked that his money and knife, which had been taken from him, might be returned. He told him it was all right, the doctor had them, and it would be given him. In a short time after that he saw Tite with a chair in his hand, swearing he would do for anybody. Morgan closed with him, and they both fell. It is nut rue to say that Morgan knelt on Tite's chest, or that he punched him in the ribs. There was a struggle ou ,the ground, but that was all. Burton Morgan took Tite to his room, but no unnecessary force was requir , When Tite was in his own room he (witness) took off" , Tite'e shoes, which he throw on the floor one at )time- His necker chief and braces wore taken from him to prevent IN doing himself an injury. He reported the case to tie head at tendant. He was sure no more force than was necessary was used. The case was proceeding when we went to preys. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Alfred Kemp, a letter-carrier, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour, for stealing it letter. The case of Haddon has been fixed for to-morrow'. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MOXEY.—EIIen Sullivan, who is well known to the Metropolitan police as a member of a desperate gang of females who infest Crutched Friars and the neighbourhood, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finns with endeavouring to extort money from a gentle man named Wetherell, and abusing and threatening Mr. Deputy Bono. Mr. Bone said that about 6 o'clock last evening a gentle man took refuge in his shop, 44, Minories, being closely pursued by the prisoner and three other women. The prisoner followed the gentleman into the shop, and used the most obscene language to him, at the same time accusing him of wanting to take improper liberties with her niece. Wit ness interfered, and she abused him, threatening that unless he turned the gentleman out of the shop she would smash his windows. Ho believed that the women would have torn the gentleman to pieces if ho had not been under his protection. He gave the prisoner in charge, and accom panied• the gentleman to the station-house. The latter gave the name of Charles Wetherell as an address, but he understood • that he was not in attendance. He bore his testimony to the desperate character of the female and her associates, who were a regular nuisance to the neighbourhood. The prisoner repeated the charge she had made against the gentleman at the station, which he had most positively denied. William Seager, a house painter, deposed to having seen - the gentleman pursued by the prisoner and five or six other women until he reached Mr. Bone's shop. He heard them demand money from the geutlaman, and their con duct was most desperate. He heard the prisoner also threaten Mr. Bone, and say that she would smash his windows. • • City Constable 298 said that he saw the prisoner struggling with another officer in John-street, Minories, and he went to his assistance. It was with the greatest difficulty they carried her t,o the station, and she bit and kicked him and the other officer. The gentleman appeared to him to be a custom-house officer, and had an uniform under his outside coat, and he said he had just come from the docks. City Constable 784 said that he took the prisoner into custody, she being charged by Mr. Bone with threatening him. The prisoner was quite sober, and she was one of the most desperate characters in the east part of London. There was another charge against the prisoner, but the worthy alderman thought it unnecessary to proceed with it, and sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' hard labour, and directed that, at the expiration of her sentence, she should find a surety to keep the peace for two months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ ILL-USED AND HALF• STARVED.—James Heap, umbrella maker, of Oakley-street, Lambeth, and Robert Pope, a lad in his employ, appealed before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to answer the complaint of Mr. Win. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the first-named for causing a horse to be tortured by being worked while in an unfit state, and the latter with working it. Coote, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing Pope driving a horse attached to a cart in Pall-Mall, the horse having wounds on both shoulders and back. Pope said his master knew of the condition of the horse, as he had spoken to him about it three or four times. On asking Heap why he sent it out in such a condition, Heap said he did not know its condition. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the officer said the horso was badly fed. Heap said there was no wounds on the horse's back, it was only the hair rubbed off. The officer said that was not the case, and that Pope had told him that because he cut the collar to ease the horse he had been chastised for it. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining Heap 20s. or IA days, said that the horse was not only illusod, but half-starved into the bargain. Popo was discharged with a caution. THAMES. AN UNJUST STEWARD.—John Thomas, a man of colour, aged 25, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing three bottles of French brandy. Tho prisoner is the steward of the ship Margaret Smith, lying in the West India Dock. He was leaving the dock yesterday 'afternoon and his bulky appearance attracted the notice of a constable, who searched him and discovered a bottle of brandy in each sleeve of his coat, and a third bottle of brandy under his arm. He said he picked up the bottles of brandy in the forecastle of the Margaret Smith. On a reference to the chief officer of the ship, it turned out that the brandy was abstracted from the stores in the cabin of which the prisoner had charge. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr Paget sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months for the unlawful possesbion of the brandy. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. —William Ironside, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Paul Orchard, a police-constable, No. 321 K. The prisoner was intoxicated and making a disturbance in High-street, Shadwell, last night, and the constable re quested him to go home. He refused t‘i do so, and made use of the most infamous language and threats. When the constable attempted to take him into custody he struck him several times, and on the way to the station-house he kicked and plunged fearfully and gave much trouble. The prisoner, in defence, said he came to London from Cardiff yesterday afternoon. Mr. Paget—And the first thing you do on reaching London is to get drunk and assault the police-constable. :You are sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. James Donovan, an Irish labourer, was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour for assaulting police constable 334 K. The prisoner—Please to fine me, your honour. Don't send me to prison. _ _ - Mr. Paget—No, I will not impose fines in those cases. I wish it to be distinctly understood that in all cases of vio lence towards the police I shall commit the offenders to prison. That is the proper punishment. The police have difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and I will pro tect them. WESTMINSTER. THE SOCIAL Evn, IN THE PARKS.—Emma Andrews, Elizabeth Lake, Elizabeth Haines, and Amelia Hubble, prostitutes, were charged with being drunk, riotous, fight ing, and using obscene language at Buckingham-gate. Sergeant John Davis, 19 A, said that at 2 o'clock that morning he was in Birdcage-walk, and saw prisoners with eight or ten other prostitutes, calling one another names, fighting, and making a noise. He ordered them to go away. They moved across the road, Andrews calling out with an oath, " You can't fellow us now, we aro off your beat." Shortly after he hear the same noise, and found them fighting again and using bad language, whereupon with assistance they were taken into custody. lie knew them all as frequenters of the park ; they were very noisy. L a k e been had at Bow-street last week. George Mew, 72 A, corroborated the last witness. They took two prisoners each. Andrews, who was known by the name of Oxfordshire Emma, was very riotous all the way to the station. She could fight like a man, and was a deal of trouble. Andrews accused this witness of taking liberties with her on Sunday in the Park, and ascribed her presence before the magistrate this morning to her refusal. She was struck by a soldier and woman, and returned the blow. Lake had nothing to say, and the other two, who live in Drury-lane, said they were there quite by accident. The police proved that Andrews had been before con victed, and then she made an indecent charge against the constable. Andrews was sentenced to fourteen days and Lake to seven dayb' hard. labour. The others were discharged with a caution. GREAT BRITAIN'S LlTTLENESS — occasionally —is thus illustrated by the Spectator;—" What is it which every now and then gives our Government so mean an aspect? The War-office is claiming all kinds of credit for accepting the Snider scheme of converting rifles . Mr. Snider spent eight years of his life over it, and yet when he requested £2,700 for outlays and work done, he was re ferred by Lord Hartington to the solicitor to the depart ment, who awarded him £l,OOO. He took it, and paid it away to his creditors, and is now lying sick, paralytic, and hopeless, while the inventor of the Prussian gun is an honoured and wealthy favourite of his Sovereign.

Cummins, daughter of the late er Judge David Cummins, die d on Monday morning at h resi dence in Dorchester, after a long illness. Sue is best known perhaps as the author of "The Lamplighter," a novel which was published in 1853, and passed through several editions, both in this country and in England. Among her other books were " Mabel Vaughan," " El Fureidis," and " Haunted Hearts."

Tha following appeared in a portion of our impression of yr sterday NEWMARKET. In the course of Saturday and yesterday the arrivals of " provincial" horses—we use the word "provincial," because Newmarket is generally considered to be the " metroplis" of the turf —were numerous ; consequently business on the heath has been exceedingly lively. This morning Aber- Acteaa, Bradamante, Brown Bread, Bugler, Cran ford, Dulcimer, Etoil Filante, Lady of Coverdale, Life Guardsman, Lively, Miss Haworth, Moldavia, Ostregor, Paris, Peon, Pepper's Ghost, Pluto, Rococo, Scarborough, The Squire, The Star, The Czar, Thalia, Valiant, Vigor ous, Wild Agnes, Xi, and Zenobia were amongst the Cam bridgeshire "strangers" who exercised ; and in addition to them we had several of the Newmarket representatives for that race at work, including BroOmielaw, Out and Outer, Vespasian, the Scheldt, Mineral, the Duke of York, Sultan, Saladin, Jollity, Nu, Godmersham, Medina, Fluerette, Puebla, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Guinivere, Ambition, E Re Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Caithness, Chepstow, Ro land, &c. Drewett set Ostreger to take Acteaa a clipping mile and a half, and the mare continues to move so freely that there cannot be a question about her ability to secure a place in the last big handicap of the legitimate campaign. Goodwin sent Nu and Godmersham along smartly, but neither will do. Bloss will probably start Out-and-Outer and Vespasian, as he was attending well to them. Amongst the Continental team we noticed Affi davit, Etoile Filante, and Charmette especially, doing first class, but the,latter again showed a deal of temper. Pen hill took Chepstow a mile and a half clipping, and tho colt went uncommonly kind to-day; be is in the very pink of condition, and it is generally believed here that Kenyon will be up, but ugly reports are about respecting the horse's age. Caithness again worked by himself ; and there is no fear of " the changes being rung.' Henry Goater had both Abergeldie and Proserpine in nice work.

Jollity had a similar n h in P g roserp i . n i us they appeared big, as they sweated h and to Toni Dawson sent o Czar and Rococo nearly a mile and quarters,uon being pulled up. Lozenge went beautifully, good outsider. The Star and Xi galloped rather andtm three - ita less than a mile and a half, and the latter is not only the best goer, but the best looking of the pair, and if Sir Joseph Hawley backs him freely he is sure to be danger ous, as he strikes us as having materially improved since we saw him give Plutus a stone and a half in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, and then run him to a length —a very good performance. Mr. Hodgman has brought both Valiant and Vigorous, but their looks do not say much for their chances. The Osborne brothers are hdre with Miss Haworth and Lady of Coverdale, whom they galloped a mile and three quar ters, their action being easy. William Day sent Scar borough, Queen Mary, and Cranford a mile and a half, but now that Sir Frederick Johnstone has become the owner of Proserpine (and the baronet is to have the stakes and all if the filly pulls this race off), the first-mentioned animal is certain not to be "exposed" this journey. Thalia goes uncommonly free, and has a great pace ; in fact, she has been tried within a trifle of Rama's form. Mount Palatine did not do much ; but Robin Hood had a mile and a half spin. We should think neither of them rill run ; nor even Tho Duke of York. The latter is very fit, though, but has other engagements, wherein he has a better prospect of ex ercise. Dalesman went the bestof the Baron's trio, and there is notruth in the;report that Tomahawk has beaten him and Guinivere in a trial. Claxton•was tried on Saturday after noon (we believe with Quick March) and won. Our readers will remember that some days back we called attention to a great improvement having been effected in this animal. He has received a good preparation, and being eased yester day,went amile and a half clipping this morr.ing. Pluerette, we repeat, is very light, still she goes free. Life Guardsman had a rare good gallop of nearly a mile and three quarters, and he, too, looks much improved. dluland, and Ambition each galloped over a mile and a, quarter, fast, but Lively very "dotty" Klariuska gave Taraban some nice quiet work; and Achievement gal loped three-quarters of a mile, her action being as superb as ever. The Hermit and Dragon were eagerly watched, The former did,slow work only, but the latter exercisod, smartly. The Palreer went a mile steadily. Fripoinier a like distance, but sharper, and has improved in tempera ment. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and a half ; and Rustic a further length than that. Both are looking and going beautifully. Lecturer had a throe-parts speed gallop of nearly a mile and a half. Strathconan went a little short of a couple of miles. Vauban galloped three-quarters of a mile gently. Ischia had a nice two mile steady gallop. Breadalbane, Christmas Carol, Kangaroo, Breeze, Arkansas, Landlord, Miss Harriette, Panacea, Tha lassius, Violent, Custard Castle, Lizard, Coun tersign, Kingmaker, Chapel Royal, Kingsley, Quick March, Douro, Earl of Derby, Haphazard, Polly Perkins Pantaloon, Dunsany, Janitor, Oppressor, Slender, The Peer, Glendusk, Hollyfox, and a heap of others were doing a fair amount of work ; and amongst the strong muster of two year olds in good exercise we noticed the Splits j t e colt, Flambant, Stolen Kisses, Lochaber, Pedage, g ,,, , Blinkhoolie, Nicola; Star of India, Sunnylocks, Ines, Prodigal, Imperator, Cerf Volant, Trocardo, Plowi ngs, Cyclone, Ailesbury, Jauua, Chignon, Ilippia, Roquatort, The Jewel, Claymore, Delium, Reigning Beauty, Trans formed, Princess Thyra, Lady Bugle Eye, Adara Bode, Bravura, Nine films, Pussy, &c.

The master of the smack has addressed the following letter to the National Lifeboat Institution, expressing the gratitude of himself and crew for the valuable services of the lifeboat on the occasion in question :—"Howth Harbour, 20th October; 1866 : —Gentlemen, myself and crew, consisting of seven men and a boy, do sincerely thank Almighty God, and heartfelt thanks to the coxswain and crew of your lifeboat at Ilowth for saving us from perishing on the morning of the 17th October. No one but those in such a perilous position would truly appreciate the value of a lifeboat. We showed signals with our fl tmbeaux until it and our selves were exhausted, and as a last resource we burnt our beds. The night was so dark and such a raging surf, no thing but broken water to be seen, we did not think it pos sible that any boat could live or be able to come near us, neither did we see the lifeboat until she struck us on the lee bow. After a desperate effort made by the craw of the lifeboat, they at last pucceeded in throwing a grapline on board, the coxswain calling out to us not to jump until the boat rose on a sea. Great praise is duo to the coxswain and crew of the lifeboat, who, under God's providence, landed us in safety at half-past five in the morning. We received every kindness from the coastguard, who sup plied us with dry clothing, &c.—l sin, &e., JOHN GILL, master of the fishing lugger Favourite, of Peel.—To the Committee of the National Lifeboat Institution." TREASURE TROVE.—An interesting discovery of silver coins took place at Stamford on Monday' A labourer, named John Christian, was excavating fo r sani tary purposes at the back of a house occupied by grs. WYles builder, in St. George's-square, when hisspade struckupon an earthen jar, which proved to contain 2,600 silver coins, L chiefly Anglo-Gallic grouts of Henry V., coined at Calais, and English groats of Edward iv. of the London Mint There were also a few half groats of Edward 111. The whole are Ina fine state of preservation, many being almost as bright as on the day they were issued.

TIIE HUGE AND NOW EXTINCT GROUN D -S LOTHS OF SOUTH AMERICA are thus described by Professor Owen in his " Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of Vertebrates :—" The principle of viewing structures and instruments in reference to the work that they may do is shown to be good in gaining insight into the mode of life of extinct animals in a striking degree through its applica tion to the skeletons of the megatherioids. The teeth of these conform so closely in all characters with those of the sloths as to suggest leaves rather than roots to have been their food. In the light slender sloths the modifications of structure for climbing, clinging, and living altogether in trees are carried out to an extreme. In the colossal ex tinct kindsthe foliage was obtained in a different way. The huge single claw on the hind foot would be applicable as a pickaxe to clear away the soil from between the interfered ramifi cations of the roots, a second claw would have and with such work. . . . .
