MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present a quiet and satisfactory condition. More confidence with regard to the future is observable, but as yet brokers and others have not made any alteration in their terms for accommodation, and 5i and 6 per cent. remain the quotations for the best short-dated paper. The stock certificates of the Metropolitan Dis trict Railway Company are ready for delivery at 27, Austin-friars, in exchange for the receipts given by the registrar, on the deposit of full paid-up scrip and share certificates left for conversion. A special audit of the accounts of the Credit Fon cier and Mobilier of England has been made, and the following is the result which has been notified to the shareholders : "3, Moorgate-street; Nov. 23. "At the request of the Court of Directors of the Credit Poncier and Mobilier of England (Limited), we have ex amined the company's account books, and such other docu ments as we thought necessary for the purpose of testing the accuracy of the balance-sheet, and profit and loss account, dated the 30th September, 1865, annexed to the report presented to the shareholders at the general meeting, hold the 24th October, 1865. The result of our examination enables us to certify as follows :-Ist. That the accounts so presented are in due accordance with, and form a correct summary of, the company's books, and that the books are accurately kept, and upon a proper system. 2d. That the securities comprised in the balance sheet are duly held and accounted for. 3d. That in estimating the value of the securities as stated in the balance sheet, they were taken at prices rather below the quotations appearing in the official lists of the Stock Ex change of the 30th September, 1865, and that, on the basis of such valuation of the securities, the profit and loss account of Sept. 30, 1865, exhibits a correct view of the profit results of the company's operations to that date. 4th. That the commissions paid to the directors and managing director, by way of remuneration tor their ser vices, have been strictly within the limits of the provision made for that object by the company's deed of association. (Signed) Quuzzu, BALL, and Co. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 52c. Very flat. There has not been much animation to-day in the market for the English Funds, but prices have generally remained in the same position. The po sition of monetary affairs and the course of our political progress at home engender confidence and add to the firmness of Consols, which are still quoted at 891 4 for money, and 881 for the ac count, less dividend. No movement has occurred in the New Threes and Reduced Annuties, or Indian Securities. Foreign Stocks are generally firmer, and annexed are some of the latest quotations :—Turkish Con solides are 471 48; Mexican, 25i 261; ditto, New, 24 14; Greek, 17; ; Spanish Passive, 281 ; the Certificates, 141 15 ; Italian, 64 4 ; the Confederate Loan, 8 9 ; and the Brazilian Scrip, 21_3 prem. . .

Great Western have advanced ss. ; Brighton and South Eastern, each 10s. ; and London, Chatham, and Dover, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and prices exhibit no material alteration.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled quiet, and although the quotations were rather drooping the changes from the previous week were chiefly confined to damp produce. Most descriptions of spring corn were in but moderate request, at about sta tionary prices. The flour trade was steady, on former terms. . On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, at about previous quotations. Spring corn, however, is tolerably firm in price. At New York shipments of wheat and flour have been on a more extensive scale to Europe. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, and the bulk was re ceived in but middling condition. The trade for good and fine dry samples ruled steady, at the full prices of Monday last. Damp produce, however, sold heavily at the recent decline in the quotations. The supply of Continental wheat on sale was moderate, but with American and Canadian descriptions the market was scantily supplied. The trade, generally speaking, was by no means active ; nevertheless, prices ruled tolerably firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at late rates. With barley the market was more freely supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled quiet ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. Fine malting parcels were scarce, and changed hands at high rates. The demand for malt ruled quiet, but without leading to any material change in prices from Monday last. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. For most qualities there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at :ull currencies. There was a fair demand for peas, at full quotations. The supply on offer was very moderate. Most descriptions of flour were in fair demand, at quite previous rates. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASITRE.

A reform meeting was held at Birmingham on Thursday night ; Mr. J. A. Patridge in the chair. The following letter from Mr. Bright was read : " Rochdale, Nov. 18, 1865. " Dear Sir,—l am very glad to hear that you are about to hold a meeting on the reform question, and I hope it will be such as the cause deserves and re quires. I have already engaged to come to Birming ham about the first week in December, to a reform meeting, at which it is expected several members of Parliament will be present, and at which I hope a large number of electors and influential inhabitants of the borough will be present. I think I cannot with advantage attend the two meetings, and that I shall be most useful in being present at the one at which I have already undertaken to be present. Under these circumstances I should certainly have accepted your invitation. lam very anxious to see the unenfranchised class making some demonstration on behalf of their political rights. The majority of the electors are willing to concede a large portion of what you wish ; but it is necessary that you should make your voice heard in the matter. I believe, too, that the Government is well disposed, but they will require help to enable them to carry any good measure through Parliament. It will be of great advantage if you can have any influence on the working men of your populous district. Would it not be possible to have representative men from the neighbouring towns to appear on your platform, and take part in your meeting ? I hope your committee will excuse me if I am not present with you, under the circum stances which I have now explained to you.—l am, with great respect, yours truly, " JOHN BRIGHT." Mr. J. OXFORD moved the first resolution, which was as follows:—" That this meeting adopts as a principle the right of manhood suffrage ; as a pro tection the ballot ; and as a policy the duty of ac cepting such instalments as may be attainable." The resolution having been seconded and supported by several speakers, the chairman was about to put it to the meeting, when a gentleman rose in the body of the hall, and said that he desired to propose an amendment. On ascending the plat form, he announced himself as " Mr. Samuel Owen, of London, the Hyde Park orator." He went on to argue that the resolution did not go far enough, and moved as an amendment : " That so much of the resolution as alluded to in stalments of reform' be omitted." The amendment was seconded by a gentleman in the body of the hall ; but when . put the chairman declared it lost, though the numbers appeared equal. Mr. Oxford next rose, and said he was rather suspicious of this gentleman from London, and for this reason. A gentleman called upon him that afternoon, and said, " If you will go to the meeting to-night, and use every means in your power to upset it, advocating the whole Chartist programme, or anything else you like, to prevent the meeting coming to an un animous vote, I will introduce you to a noble lord, who will pay your demand, let it be whatever you like." (Interruption, and loud cries of " Name.") He would not mention the name openly, but he would give it to any number of gentlemen nomi nated by the meeting, and if it was not true he would suffer any penalty they liked to name. (Loud cries of " Name.") Well, he would give the name. (Cries of " No, no," and " Name ;" the " Noes " preponderating.) Well, he would not mention the name, but he pledged his honour, his whole existence, his public reputation on the truth of what he said, and which he was prepared to prove. He should write to the noble lord whose name was mentioned, and if the affair turned out to be true, he should certainly publish the the correspondence. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Owen rose excitedly, and was greeted with a storm of groans. He said—l am going to tell you something very like what my friend has said. I tell you that, though you may not think that from my appearance, I have been lionised by members of the aristocracy. (Laughter.) A lady, who introduced me to the house of a Cabinet Mi nister, said to me, "If you would make headway with the aristocracy you must give up speaking in the open air." (Laughter.) My answer to that, not given to the lady, but to some one else, was " Go to Jericho." (Loud laughter.) I believe what Mr. Oxford said. lam known as the Hyde-park ora tor, and as such I have been persecuted ; but is it now, after years of suffering and privation, owing to my steadfastness to principle, that I am going to be bribed by the Tories—miserable Tories ? I scorn it. (Laughter, amidst which the gentleman resumed his seat.) Mr. Church then moved, " That, having regard to the time-honoured name of Russell, and the great services and high reputation of Mr. Glad stone, this meeting expresses its confident hopes that a large instalment of political rights will now be conceded to the working manhood of this country, and that the principle of manhood suffrage will be recognised as the basis of our representation." The resolution was adopted, and at a subsequent period of the meeting Mr. E. Beales said he trusted the statement of Mr. Oxford would be sifted to the bottom, for there was nothing the Tory party would not do to prevent the triumph of their cause. (Hear, hear.) From what he knew of Mr. Owen, who moved the amendment, he felt sure that he was not the emissary employed. Mr. E. Potter, M.P., on Schools of Art. --+- On Thursday night Mr. E. Potter, M.P., was present at the distribution of prizes to pupils of the Carlisle School of Art, and made a speech upon the position and prospects of provincial schools of art. He said that since their last meeting a com mittee of the House of Commons had presented a long report, with evidence. That committee re commended a capitulation grant—they did not men tion what amount—to be given to artisan classes. Their next recommendation was that there should be no building grants. The committee thought also that the accounts of grants to South Kensington should be more clearly made out. Shortly after Parliament met the new minutes were sent out, and they found that South Kensington declined carrying out the recommendations. They declined capitation; they adhered to their resolution of giving building giants ; and they said nothing about the accounts ; but in their first report after this no accounts were published—the first time they had been omitted for 10 or 15 years. He remonstrated. with Mr. Bruce, but meanwhile Parliament was sent to the country. The Department having taken its own course some of the committee felt rather annoyed, and their chairman, Sir Stafford Northcote, sum moned some of them together. They did not know what to do, and a great many of them having sat 10 or 15 days on the subject were tired of it, and therefore concluded that the best plan would be to get the country schools to appeal to Lord Gran ville. A large deputation went up, and succeeded almost in getting what would probably have the effect of doubling their a llowance. There was nothing now left but to test the thing, and to rely more upon their own efforts than upon Government grants. The department had taken its own course, and relied upon its own system. The yearly grants to South Kensington were from £130,000 to £140,000. Some £30,000 or £40,000 of that was employed in decorating South Kensington ; a large sum for the purchase of articles for the museum ; and the principal schools came in for what was left. He did not wish to detract from the merits of South Kensington. Its drawing school was the finest in the world ; and they were indebted to it for a large number of able masters, but he was most anxious that they should have educational grants separated from .South Kensington. Till they got that he was certain they should never get any satisfaction. (Hear, hear.) What the Department had done fell very far short of what was due to the coun try. The entire number of art students last year was 16,500 in ninety schools, and when they considered, as he ventured to assert, that very little above one-half of them were artisans, and that the Department and the Government bad been urging on artisan education for nearly 20 years, he thought that result was most miserable. (Hear, hear.) He believed if the capitation system sug gested by the committee had been followed, they would have had, instead of some 8,000 or 9,000 artisans, some 30,000 or 40,000 in course of educa tion. (Hear, hear.) County schools could not be self-supporting; they must have liberal subscriptions. They could not class art schools under the head of charity schools. They were exceedingly valuable, and gave a sound education in scientific drawing up to a certain standard. But the artisan could not afford to pay for it himself. It had been said in the committee, and advised by Mr. Cole himself, that they should raise the rates if schools did not pay. He himself thought the rates were high enough, and his own feeling was that they should be lessened ; and that it was a class of education which Government ought to support, otherwise it could not be carried on. The cotton districts had recently felt that whole towns should not be devoted to one trade, but unless they had educated workmen they could not make the change. Art classes would supply that want. The state of art education was not what it ought to be. But their only course now was to work it out as best they could, and if in the course of a year or two they thought they were wronged they had the means of redress, and he hoped advocates more powerful than himself would be found for an alteration of the whole system. (Cheers.) XIETROPOLITAN CATTLE. For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was moderately good. There were some very superior beasts and sheep on offer, but their general qua lity was only middling. The trade was steady at full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were moderate and in improved condition. The supply from Scotland was on the increase, and mostly of prime quality. From Ireland the receipts were again limited. For all breeds of beasts there was a steady de mand, and in soma instances prices ruled a shade higher than on Monday last. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 5s 4d, but the general top figure was 5s 2d per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,000 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of Eng land, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 272 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 250 oxen, cows, and heifers. The show of sheep was only moderate; most breeds, however, came to hand in good condition. The mutton trade was firm, and last week's currency was firmly sup ported. The best old Downs sold at 6s 8d per 81b. We have to report a dull sale for calves—the supply of which was tolerably good —on rather lower terms. The highest figure was 4s 10d per 81b. The sale for pigs was inactive at slightly reduced rates, viz., 4s to 5s 2d per 81b. A notice has been issued this morning compelling but chers residing without the London district to slaughter all beasts purchased in this market within 48 hours after leaving the stands.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Smith and a Common Jury.) DICKS V. WILSON-DISPUTED ADVERTISEMENTS. This was an action brought by the' plaintiff to recover the amount of £65 for 26 alternate inser tions of the advertisements of the defendant, who is a sewing machine manufacturer, in business at 144, I-Fgh Holborn, to which the defendant pleaded misrepresentation and fraud. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Sergeant T. Atkinson represented the parties. The evidence for the plaintiff was to the effect, that in February last an agent of the plaintiff, who is joint proprietor of a publication called the IVeekly Illustrated News, called on the defendant, who gave him orders for the advertisements at the rate of £4 a column. The defendant denied this statement, and said that he was induced to give the order for the advertisements by a statement to the effect that a rival firm had given an order for six advertisements at £4 a column, and he ordered his advertisements with the distinct understanding that they were not to cost more than £2 10s. a column. He afterwards discovered that the firm in question did not pay the amount that was represented for the advertisements, and he immediately ordered that his advertisements should be discontinued. The plaintiff did not subsequently insert more than four of their advertisements, but it was contended on his behalf, that according to the law as laid down by Mr. Justice Wells in a similar case, that did not violate the original agreement entered into between the parties, and therefore that he was entitled to the whole amount claimed. Evidence was adduced on both sides, and totally different versions of what occurred between the parties was given. Counsel having addressed the jury, The learned Judge summed up. Verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, £l3 ss. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE THE REV. HENRY GLASSON, 8.A., A CHAPLAIN IN THE ROYAL NAVY. This bankrupt was described as a clerk in holy orders and chaplain in the Royal navy, Froxfield, Wilts, and her Majesty's ship Charybdis. To-day was appointed for the proof of debts, and the amount already on the file is £1,050. The cause of the failure is thus set out, "My wife having incurred debts during my absence from Eng land, and my pay as chaplain in the Royal navy not being sufficient to meet my expenditure." Debts were proved, and a day named for the next hearing. IN RN 7. C. WILSON:-TAB LONDON COAL COMPANY. This bankrupt was described as a coal merchant of Clerkenwell, trading as a London Coal Company, and he came up to-day for proof of debts. Amount already on the file is about £5OO, and the bank rupt ascribes his failure to having been security for other persons and " loss of employment through the explosion of the Ewell Powder Mills." Debts were proved, and a day named for the next hearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN ACT OP FOLLY.—James Brown, a respectably dressed young man, describing himself as a servant, of Maze buildings, Greenwich, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly manner at the entrance of the London Pavilion, Tichborne-street. Police-constable Harris, 77 0, said that on Saturday night the defendant was turned out of the London Pavi lion Music Hall in consequence of his behaving in a very foolish manner, he having fastened on his face an enor mous moustache and pair of whiskers, which attracted the attention of every one. The defendant when turned out refused to go away, and on his (witness) requesting him to leave, he said ho would not go for a bastard like him, and behaved in such a disorderly manner that a large crowd of persons assembled. He was therefore obliged to take him into custody, and on the way to the station he offered him money to let him go, as he was afraid he would lose his place. The defendant said that when he put the whiskers and moustache on in the hall he thought there was no harm in it. The only person who felt annoyed was the proprietor, who turned him out, and all he did was to try and get back to his friends. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant had committed an act of consummate folly, and the proprietor of the hall was perfectly right in turning him out. The defendant had further continued his folly by not going away when desired b d y e f e t h u e d a c u o t n s h t a a b d l e u . d A o r s g o h n e e c w o n o As would d e r do e d t h h i m e l s o o c m ki o n gup good, ood the ho should discharge him.

The public sales of colonial wool are progressing with considerable activity at fully the opening advance in the quotations, Australian wool being ld to 2d. and fine Cape Yd per lb dearer than at last sales. The amount of busi ness doing for export is moderate.

In English wool a fair business is doing, but chiefly in Down tegs. Last week's import was about Railway Accidents. On Saturday afternoon the fast goods train which left Exeter at 10 a.m. ran off the line, at 3 p.m., a little to the east of the Cornwood station. The train consisted of one engine and about 14 trucks. The engine is turned upside down, and its frontis towards Ivybridge, instead of towards Plymouth ; the dome is crushed in. The driver and stoker were so much scalded that the former died on Saturday after noon, and the latter was not expected to reco ver. The two guards escaped uninjured. All but three or four of the trucks are broken to pieces. Under ordinary circumstances the fast goods train is due at Plymouth at 2 o'clock, but it has to shunt in and out at the various stations, according to the exigencies of the traffic. The driver, John Rowsell, attained his 30th year on Saturday ; he is married. The stoker, Thomas Palmer, recently appointed to the duty, is a younger man and unmarried. The line has only a moderate incline at the place where the accident occurred. Another serious accident occurred on Saturday morning near the Exeter Station. About half a mile from the Queen-street Station at Exeter is a tunnel about 300 yards in length, known as the Blackboy tunnel. There are a number of springs at this spot, which threw great difficulties in the way of making this tunnel, the work being washed a way on two or three occasions, but no accident has since the completion of the line happened there until Saturday. The storms during the last day or two, however, have broken the springs, and these, added to the torrents of rain which have fallen, ap pear to have loosened the brickwork, and a portion of the roof gave way. We learn that the Yeovil train due at Exeter at 9 20 a.m. had just entered the tunnel when the engine -driver saw a heap of brickwork on the line just ahead of him. The steam had, as is customary, been " shut off" before the train entered the tunnel ; but as it was running down the incline the driver, notwithstanding that the brakes were immediately applied, was unable to bring his engine to a standstill before he ran into the mass of earthwork which impeded the way. The shock threw the engine off the metals, and the vibration caused another portion of the tunnel to give way, and the brickwork fell on the engine and the foremost car riages. Happily, no one received any injury beyond a few contusions sustained by some of the passen gers in the confusion which ensued in getting out of the train. It was in the first " length" of the tunnel that the accident happened, so that it was not quite dark ; but the affrighted passen gers had some difficulty in getting out of their perilous position. The brickwork could not have fallen very long before the train entered, as the up London train at 7.30 and the Exmouth train at 8 o'clock passed in safety. The tunnel is now blocked, other parts of the work having given way, and the traffic through must be suspended for some three or four days at least. Relays of omnibuses and coaches are, however, put on from the junction of the Exmouth and London lines, beyond the tunnel, to and from the city, and delay is the only inconve nience the public will be put to. The accident will occasion a heavy outlay on the part of the South- Western Company. A strong feeling is being ex pressed that, seeing the difficulty in the way of making this tunnel perfectly secure, the company should make it an open cutting. A dreadful collision occurred late on Saturday evening about a quarter of a mile on the Manches ter side of the Wigan station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. At half-past 5 a train leaves Manchester for Bolton and Wigan, when it is divided, the one portion proceeding to Liverpool, and the other to Southport. On Saturday night this train, a long one of some 20 carriages,was rather late, for, though due at the station at 6.40, it was nearly 7 o'clock when it approached a bridge over a street in the borough named Chapel-lane, a point at which the London and-North-Western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire lines are so near thatthere are numerous points for the transfer of trains from one to the other. Just above this spot there is on the first-mentioned railway a small siding which joins the line from Manchester to Wigan, about 20 yards beyond the bridge, and upon this was an empty goods waggon. According to one story this truck was, just as the train approached, being moved down the siding, and according to another it was moving forward, impelled by the strong breeze which was blowing at the time; but, whatever the cause, it is certain that when the passenger train reached the point where the siding joins the main line the wag gon was so near that a collision took place. The truck itself seems to have been caught by the en gine and turned over, and either the shock or a fur ther collision with the buffer of the truck threw the first carriage off the rails, and this, full of passen gers, was .dragged along as far as the bridge, where it appears to have canted over, broken the coupling chains at the front, and the engine thus freed ran down to the station for assistance. Meanwhile the second carriage, moving at a good speed, was dashed against the wheels of the overturned carriage in front, by which the whole of its end was torn away, ' and its course diverted from the main towards the London and North-Western Railway. After it came the guard's van, which was pitched about until it was thrown on its side, and against this came three or four other carriages, which were thrown off the line and splintered a little. The passengers for a few secoads were in great alarm. The compartments of the first carriage were promptly emptied, and the occupants were all found alive. The side of carriage No. 2 had been stove in, and had crushed Mr. Geo. Wilkinson, builder, Southport. He was found to be dying, and was removedto a pointsman's cabin close by, where he immediately expired. He was so ter ribly injured, that the medical men, who were promptly on the spot, and who saw the body, ex pressed surprised that he should have lived the few seconds he did. In the van which came next the guard had been sadly shaken, but though severely bruised, his hurts were not serious. Many others were cut and shaken, but so far as we could learn all were able to proceed onwards by trains which were immediately formed at Wigan. For about an hour the traffic was completely stopped, but the over turned carriages having been drawn away, one line was left clear, and the trains were forwarded, but when our parcel was despatched but little had been done to remove the wreck which blocked the other half of the road. The waggon which caused the ac cident was thrown upon one of the London and and North-Western main lines, which it blocked for some time. The body of Mr. Wilkinson was re moved to the Clarence Hotel to await the inquest.

(Before the Lords Justices.) LOW Y. ROUTLEDGE- COPYRIGHT-JUDGMENT. This was an appeal from Vice-Chancellor Kindersley. The plaintiffs are members of the well-known firth of Sampson Low and Co., English and American publishers, of Ludgate-hill. About April, 1864, they agreed with Maria S. Cummins, a native of the United States, but then resident at Montreal, to purchase from her the copyright of a manuscript of which she was the author, called " Haunted Hearts." In the month of May they published the book in London, in two volumes, at 165., and in duo time registered the publication at Stationers' Hall. The plaintiffs by their bill alleged that they learned in the month of June that the defendant, Mr. George Routledge —a member of the firm of Routledge, Warne, and Rout ledge—had offered for sale, at 2s. each, a portion of the work, and thereupon they wrote to the defendants, inform ing them that the copyright was their property. The plaintiffs by their bill charged that though the author was a native of the United States of America, yet inasmuch as she had resided within the British dominions prior to and at the time of the assignment of the manuscript to thorn, and thenceforth to the time of publication and registration of the work at Stationers' Hall, they were entitled to the exclusive copyright. The plaintiffs filed their bill to re strain Routledge, Warne, and Routledge, their agents or workmen, from printing or publishing the " Haunted Hearts." The defendants demurred to the bill, and the de murrer was granted by the Vice-Chancellor. The plaintiffs applied to the Lords Justices to grant the injunction, and the cause came on in the form of a motion for a decree. The main question raised was whether an alien resident in a colony or possession of the British Crown, and who while so resident first published in England a work composed by him, had, according to the law of this country, a copyright in the work. Mr. Baily and Mr. Hardy, for the motion, contended that the effect of the judgment in "Jeffreys v. Boosey," relating to the copyright in Bellini's "Sonnambula," was to bestow upon a foreigner temporarily resident within the territories of the British Crown, and therefore for the time owing alle giance to the Crown, all the rights and privileges of a Bri tish subject. Mr. Shapter and Mr. Schomberg, on behalf of the de fendants, contended that this case fell within the Interna tional Copyright Acts, by which no alien could acquire a copyright. The Lords Justices having taken time to consider the case, gave judgment this morning. Lord Justice Turner said—ln this case the question is not what were or are the rights of the plaintiffs within the colony of Canada, but what were or are their rights in this country, and the law of this country leaves no doubt on this question. By the 25th section of the sth and 6th Vic., chap. 45, it is enacted that all copyright shall be deemed to be personal property, and in Calvin's case it was decided that an alien friend may by the common law have, acquire, or get within this realm, by gift, trade, or other lawful means, any treasure or goods personal, what soever, as an Englishman, and may maintain any action, for the same. That case, I think, is in all respects appli cable to the case before us, and I agree, therefore, with the opinion of the Vice-Chancellor, and think the motion to dissolve this injunction must be refused with costs, and that there must be a decree according to the prayer of the bill, with costs to be paid by the defendants.

LETTERS FOR JAPAN, BY FRENCH PACKET.—In notice No. 41, issued on the 7th August last, it was stated erroneously that letters for Japan, intended for transmission by French packet, might be forwarded either unpaid or paid to destination, at the option of the sender. Such option of pre-payment, however, applies, only to letters addressed to the port of Yokohama, where a French Post-office has been established. To all other places in Japan, addressed to bo sent by the French line of packets, and to all places in Japan, without exception, when sent by British packet, the postage of letters must be paid in advance or they cannot be forwarded. By command of the Postmaster-General. —General Post-office, November 27, 1865. Census returns of 1860 show 128 establishments for the manufacture of silver-plated and Britannia war e within the United States in that year, with an invested capital of $1,537,540; employing 2,172 male and 327 female hands; paying for raw material £1,738,806; for labor, $932,756 ; and yielding annually products amounting i n value to $3,676,460. • The New York City Treasury is bankrupt, and cannot pay its police. Moses Taylor has generously ad vanced $600,000 to pay them. WRECK or COTTON SHIPS.--The disasters in the recent hurricane off the coast of Florida will cost the underwriters little short of a million sterling. Three cotton-laden vessels lost are estimated as losing £500,000 to the underwriters of London and Liverpool. These are the ship Caroline Nesmith, from Mobile to Liverpool, with 2,493 bales cotton ; the ship Fairhaven, from Galveston to Liverpool, with 600 bales ; and the ship John Wesley, from New Orleans to Liv erpoo l , w i t h 1,46 0 b a l es, a ll o f w hi c h ar e expected t o prove total losses. The Mersey, f rom S an t a Anna (Mexico) to Liverpool, with mahogany, and which foundered in the hurricane, will also be a heavy loss to the underwriters, she being largely insured both in London and in Liverpool. The C. W. Ring, from Galveston to this port with cotton, which was reported as dismasted and disabled in the hurricane, has been taken into Charles ton safely, where she will undergo repairs ; she has 610 bales of cotton. Several cotton laden vessels, whose names had not been ascertained up to the mail leaving, had been driven on the reefs near Key West, most of which will doubtless be for this port, so that further information is anxiously awaited.
