It is expected that the impending settlement in ,the Foreign Stock and Share departments will pro duce a little more activity in monetary circles to wards the close of the week, but at present there is no perceptible change either in the demand or in the terms upon which it is supplied. It is satisfactory to notice the steady arrivals of gold and silver, which will no doubt tend to keep the terms of dis count low, and assist in initiating the revival of trade which all classes are naturally awaiting with considerable interest. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days a firmer tone has prevailed. Buyers have been in better request, and prices show an upward tendency. The public sales of tea have continued to progress without animation. Rice, owing to the continued high rates demanded by holders, has only been dealt in to a limited extent, while in tallow a moderate business has been re corded, and quotations for both present and former delivery are well maintained. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £34,000 in bar gold, and 8,000 sovereigns from Malta. The Delta, with the heavy portion of the Bombay mails, has arrived at Southampton with £5,376 in gold. The specie brought by the Atrato amounts to £140,000, of which £52,000 is in gold and the remainder in silver. Some of the shareholders of Hindustan Bank held a private meeting yesterday, with the intention of making a demonstration at the general meeting next Monday, for the purpose of obtaining, if pos sible, an alteration in the management of the esta blishment. It is announced that the second drawing of the Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgage Loan will take place at ,the Anglo-Egyptian Bauk on Tuesday, the 27th instant. At a meeting of the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia a dividend, ad interim, was declared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The Merchant Shipping Company have convened %I extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of "Itheriog or amending some of the articles of asso dation, to take into consideration the arrangements Proposed to be made in reference to the surrender and forfeiture of shares, and to pass such resolu tions respecting the samesas may be deemed de.: !Arable. It is stated that the lion. G. F. Verdon, treasurer to the Victorian Government, has arranged to return to Melbourne by the mail of the 26th inst., h aving most successfully accomplished his mission to this country in connection with ,the Victorian Loan, colonial defence, telegraphic communica tion, &c. No change has occurred in the discount market since the morning, beyond a slight increase in the s uPPly of particular classes of paper. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram this morning the French Rentes were 69 25. A large amount of business has been transacted to -day in English Stocks in speculative account, as Well as for bona fide transfer. Sales and purchases, in the part of time operators being very evenly balanced priCes, continue very strong. Consols are 89 1 .1 for transfer, and 881 1, less the dividend, for the 6th proximo. The next few months, it is thought, will be characterised by a steady improve- Mew in enterprise of all kinds, and political pros pects are regarded with confidence. The antici pated policy of the Government in railway matters has had a most beneficial effect in the market for shares, debentures, &c. The New Threes and Re duced Annuities are 871 1 ; Annuities, 1885, 12 15 -1613 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4s. prem. ; Bank o f England Stock, 246 ; India Stock, 2121 ; do. 5 Per Cents., 106 1 ; do.

The operations in the Railway Share Market to day have been on a very moderate scale, and in Several instances prices are a shade flatter. Great *lVestern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, London, Chatham, and Dover, and Midland have each de clined 1; Great Northern, 1 ; and Metropolitan, /. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive, b ut generally sustain former values.

STATHAM-ACTION AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN. This case was resumed this morning. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, Sarah Absolon, to recover from the defendant compensation in damages for an assault in administering chloroform against her will, and extracting six of her teeth. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty, and secondly, that what he did was with the leave and license of the plaintiff. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Telford Salter were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy for the defendant. Mrs. Absolon, who was brought into court upon crutches, and was accommodated with a seat on the bench, said that she was 34 years of ago. She had been an out-patient of the Royal Free Hospital, and was treated by Dr. Gant. She had also been to Guy's, where she was treated for nervous debility. She was often requested to take chloro form, but always refused. She never suffered from scro fula. She was sent to Margate to bo treated for swollen glands, in consequence of defendant pressing her throat Dr. Statham had always acted very kindly towards her since this affair. Ile had paid money for her. She told him she was unable to work. She was under sixteen years of age when she was married. At the close of the evidence for the plaintiff, Mr. Gif. lard, Q.C., opened the defendant's case. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) CANTON V. BIRD. This was an action by the plaintiff, Mary Canton, to recover compensation for injuries alleged to have been sus tained through the negligence of their servants, to which the defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Prentice, Q.C., and Mr. Bingham Daly appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jones, Q.C., and another learned gentleman, for the defendants. The plaintiff had been housekeeper to a gentleman named Langton, who lived at Imlen Villa, Hammersmith, and the defendants, Messrs. Bird, are builders in a very extensive way of business in the neighbourhood. The plaintiff in her evidence stated that on the 3rd of October, 1865, two workmen of the defendants' named Ivans and Porter had been engaged at the villa in repairing and decorating the apartments, and were em ployed that day in the breakfast-room and left about six o'clock. She and a fellow-servant fancied that they felt a strong smell of gas, and went into the breakfast room carrying a lighted candle. An explosion immediately took place, and she was burned severely on her head, face, and other parts of her body, the effects of which were still visible. She had been confined three weeks in the hospital and was unable to attend to her business for three months. There were no other persons in the apart ment during the day, and the accident, which occurred through an escape of gas from one of the chandeliers, must have been caused by the workmen in question who neglected the necessary precaution. The evidence failed to establish the plaintiff's case, and she was accordingly nonsuited. MARKETS.---This Day. HAY.

TELEGRAPHY. --The Leeds Mercury publishes the following story as an instance of the many singular appli cations of telegraphy :—" A gentleman, whom we will call Mr. M., residentin London, is employed there to " manage the wire" for a Glasgow journal—that is to say, he ar ranges the news to be sent down each evening by the wire which that newspaper employs by special arrangement with ono of the companies. The principal office of that company is at the top of several flights of stairs in one of those im mense buildings, erected to furnish office accommodation, which abound in some quarters of the city. After a certain hour in the evening the telegraphic clerk who sends off the ' copy' by wire is the sole occupant of this mansion, with the exception of the porter who attends the door, which after the hour referred to is generally shut. This function ary, who is not often found nodding, got into this abnormal Homeric state a night or two ago, and so profound was his slumber that not all the fantasias which Mr. M.- performed on the door—loud enough to have wakened the Seven Sleepers, and even louder than the works of some of our modern composers—could arouse him. It was, of course, out of the question to attract the attention of the clerk at the roof of the establishment. Mr. M. fortunately, however, hit on the following expedient for letting the porter know that ho was waiting for admission. He wont to an adjoin ing telegraph station, and sent a message to the company's office in Glasgow, requesting the clerk there to telegraph to tho clerk in the London house, and instruct him to go downstairs to rouse the porter. This was done with per fect success in about 20 minutes. In that time, therefore, persons at a distance of over 400 miles succeeded in awaken ing one who was only separated from the employer by a door, and who, even.at that short distance, was deaf to all persuasion," i'KEFICRENCE SkLARICS, London and S.W., Portsmouth perpet. anna, ol FOREIGN RAILWAYS.

Besides this he made a speech at the Working Mon's Club, in which he challenged either Bright, Beales, J ones, or M'Laren to discuss with him the subject of democracy, promising that they would find him " a sharp customer." His advice to the working men was to put no faith in Reform Bills or demonstrations, by in ference to be no politicians, and to find fault, not with the Government—Whig or Tory—but always to blame themselves." One sentence will perhaps serve as sample of the rhapsody which amused the audience immensely : " Cultivate music—Scotch music—a good song is better than all Reform Bille or Presbytery speeches," THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1866. _ (C o u r t tc,„ etrillar HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, Monday.

The short supplemental season of Italian opera at her Majesty's Theatre has resulted in the most perfect success ; but it is to be regretted that Mr. Mapleson's arrangements will not permit him to extend it beyond Saturday next. During the short series we have had a selection from the most favourite operas, supported by the united talents of Titiens, Sinico, Wiziak, Mdrini, Holder, Gas sier, and Santley. Last evening the opera was Gounod's " Faust," which attracted a large and brilliant audience. The principal parts were sustained by Titiens, Morini, Sant ley, and Gassier, and the applause elicited was something extraordinary. Mdme. Titiens, in the garden scene, was magnificent; and Morini also sung -with exquisite taste. It is quite unnecessary to allude to the other artistes engaged in the opera; their fame is too well established to n eed more than a simple intimation • that they again appeared in their respective characters, and called forth all the enthusiasm that invariably attends their incomparable vocalisation. To-morrow we are to have a grand morning performance of the opera of all operas " Il Don Giovanni," in which Mr. Santley will sustain for the first time the part of Leporello ; Gassier that of Don Giovanni ; Hohler, Don Otta vio ; Madlle. Titiens, Donna Elvira ; and Madlle. Wiziak, Zerlina. On Thursday evening the opera is to be " Le Nozze di Figaro." Royal Geographical Society. The session of this society commenced yesterday even ing in Burlington House, Sir Roderick Murchison, the president, being in tho chair. The list of candidates for admission as Fellows of the society was very numerous, exceeding upwards of 30. The PRESIDENT, according to custom, opened the session by reading an address on the progress of geographical dis covery, and on its future prospects. As regarded African discovery, it could not be expected that there would be any communications in the ensuing session so important as those read during the session preceding, yet there was groun d for hope that the interesting problem whether there was a large lake to the south of the Albert Nyanza—the ultimate source of the Nile—would be solved by 1)r. Livingstone and, other travellers. He thought that the direction in which the most important discoveries promised to be made wore Central India and South America. After alluding to the hitherto unsuccessful result of the expedition of Dr. Leichardt and his party in Australia, the President men tioned the appointment of a committee of the British Asso ciation for the purpose of urging the Government to un dertake an exploration of the North Pole, and with so powerful a recommendation. of the object he hoped that the now Government would be disposed to make that con cession to science. He concluded his address by alluding to the completion of the memorials to Captain Franklin and Capt. Speke, the former of which would bo exposed to view on Thursday next. A paper read by Sir H. an account of an explo ration IJnodhinNwna, was h Rawlin son, who made some introductory remarks, explaining the a i pe n C position, politically and commercially, in which the district r e b n y tr Mr.al Johnson, traversed by Mr. Johnson is placed. lie was commissioned by the Indian Government to endeavour to survey the country from Leh to Ilchi, the capital of Khotan, lying bc between the 34th and 37th deg-ees of north latitude and 78th and 79th degrees of cast longitude. That part of Cen tral India, Sir Henry , said, had been visited by very few Europeans, and by none during the last 100 years ; and Mr. Johnson's exploration of it was of especial value, as it pointed out a new means of communication between our Indian empire and those countries in Central Asia which had thrown off the Chinese dominion and wore anxious to trade with India. Hitherto the communication had been obstructed, and almostrendoredimpracticable, by the exac tions of the Maharajah of Cashmere; but in the route pursued by Mr. Johnson the Government was friendly, and, after passing a gap in the moun tains, an extensive elevated table land, passable by carriages, is opened out, by which communication with Khotan could easily be accomplished. The mean elevation of the table land is 15,000 feet above the level of the sea, and it is surrounded by mountains, some of which reach the height of 21,000 feet. Mr. Johnson stated that though tho governor of Ilchi was very friendly, he strongly ob jected to his taking astronomical observations, which he was obliged to do by stealth, and in that manner he suc ceeded in obtaining the principal positions for completing the geometrical survey of the country. It was with some difficulty that ho got permission to depart; indeed the go vernor wanted to detain him, and ho was offered high posi tions in the government if he would remain. One part of the army of Khotan was commanded by a native officer, a sopoy in the British service before the Indian mutiny, and there was some suspicion that ho was Nana Sahib. The low country to the north-east of Ilchi was represented by Mr. Johnson to be very productive, cotton being grown there in abundance, which is sent to Russia. The precious metals are also said to be found in large quantities, and there is every prospect of carrying on an extensive trade, through Khotan, with the Mahometan provinces of China that have been recently severed from the Chinese empire. In the discussion of the paper Lord Strangford pointed out the importance of that part of Central Asia which had been explored by Mr. Johnson, while Mr. Crawfurd denied that the produce would be available for English commerce. Sir Henry Rawlinson, on the other hand, contended that the products of the country were very valuable, and that the people would be anxious to trade with us for tea, opium, and other articles of commerce. Sir Henry, in conclusion, made same remarks on the supposed danger to our Indian empire by attacks from Russia through Central Asia, which ho contended was impossible from the nature of the country. In that opinion Sir Roderick Murchison coincided. The meeting then adjourned to the 26th inst., when a communication from pr. Livingstone will be read, also a communication from Natal. restructive Fire and Loss of Life. (THIS DAY.) This morning a most destructive fire, which broke out shortly after seven o'clock, was discovered by Mr. William Withers, of the Salvage Corps of Welclose-square, who was passing by on his return from duty, and observed flames issuing from the premises. He immediately sent for the steam fire engines of Messrs. Shand slid Co., who promptly arrived, and found the extensive premises of Mr. rage, cabinet-maker, Pelham-street, Brick-lane, on fire, which resulted in the death of a young man,who was burnt to deathlAs soon' as the ruins had cooled, Mr. Withers dis covered the body frightfully burnt, which was plaoed in a shell and removed to the dead-house.

Tke following appeared in oar Third Edition cf yester day Luning : SHREWSBURY. Our racecourse is in beautiful going order, and we have already a large number of horses here for the five days' racing which Manager Frail is providing. In fact, this morning we had actually upwards.of,l2o animals at exer cise, and additional arrivals to a considerable extent may safely be calculated upon during to-morrow, and even Wednesday, as the handicaps are very flattering, and the bill of fare of an exceedingly varied character. Beyond Jezabel, none of Wadlow's team arrived until after this morning's exercise was concluded; and Cliff's, with other strings from Hednesford, Newton-le-Willows, &c., came soon after. Jezabel goes in very good form, and if the stable support her for the Shrewsbury Cup to-morrow, she will as near win as possible, for they have a good line with her through Moulsey and Sandal. The other horses here for the big handicap, up to breakfast hour this morning, include Ostregor, Pearl Diver, Westwick, Lady Vane, Brick, Gibraltar, Jollity, Nu, Wild Poppy, Bees wing, Marco Spada, Cranford, Slieve Carne, Vigorous, and Caprice, all of whom did a fair amount of work. Pearl Diver went all a couple of miles, but steadily, and we never saw him look or go better. Ostregor went a mile and a half at a clipping space, and he, too, appears to have received a most careful polish. Westwick moved grandly, and did his mile and three quarters the best of the whole Cup team, though it must be con fessed. that Jezabel also acquitted herself most admirably. Lady Vane still looks fleshy, but Brick is quite ripe ; both galloped nearly two miles. Gibraltar's action was very stilty ; and Nu was whisking her tail about in a very ominous manner throughout her mile and a half gallop. Wild Poppy, on the other hand, laid down to her work first class, and the same may be said of Cranford and Jollity, who each did within an ace of a couple of miles, the pace, too, being good. Marco Spada went a similar distance, and pulled up fresh and strong. Slieva Came and Caprice did very little over a mile and a half. Confederate, Thalassius, Lady Sophie, Nukuheva, the Stabber, Viceroy, Kingsley, Hopvine, Violent, 0 verto nian, Cranbury, Volunteer, Cedric, Kilkenny, Lady Va lentine, Wild Agnes, Bessie, Mistletoe, Chibisd, the Naiad, and Her Ladyship, were also amongst those who galloped a mile and a half, and all appeared to be in form. Regalia had a long steady gallop of nearly three mile; and Chop stow•followed for a couple of miles, but at a distance from. the mare. Miss Harriette galloped within a trifle of two miles. A lot of two year olds went a mile each, and amongst them we especially noticed Moonbeam, _Siaukos, Narino, Gipsy Queen, Land Tax, Foresight, Python, Grafton, Haidee, Knight Errant, the filly by Young Melbourne out of Doralice, Lady Pain, Vice Versa, An chorite, the colt by Leamington out of Annie Laurie, Studd, Greenback, Brown Tommy, Changeable, Venom, Ada manthea, Amour Propre, Bird's Eye, Gentian, Easby, Freemason, Rhymer, Queen of Nuts, Lake Superior, Canard, Hatty, Novice, Thermometer, Miss Fanny, and Mouchoir, and they severally moved in good form. It is rather too early to expect the hurdle racers, but Shakspere and Fortunatus are on the spot, and galloped two miles and a half, going brilliantly. Joker and Brick are nomi nated for two of the leap races, and are here. The debut of each at jumping, if made this week, will be watched with interest; as, also with that of The Clown, who is engaged twice. However, it will take a perfect jumper to beat Shakspere, who goes in rare form. THE SHREWSBURY CUP "LOTS."

A SURGEON CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO HIS WIFE.— Mr. James tinley Mouncey, surgeon, of 166, Regent-street, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant by Rose killy, one of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting his wife Emily. Mr. Edward Lewis, of G a r n ea d t il: A L la o r p lb es or is o s ug t h h - e st e re a e s t s ., saapid :wbirtuharaysslaauslt,tianngdhitshwe Ho. The pp theeara t r i eeds were defendantoer l.e t the prosecution,married ce hd.ari ga e dF prosecu trix carried on a governess agency in Regent-street, the defendant leading a lazy and intemperate life. Ever since the marriage the defendant had treated his wife in a most cruel manner, and the assault now complained of was only ono of a long series of assaults committed by the prisoner on the prosecutrix. Hitherto the prosecutrix had been re luctant to come to the court to complain of the defendant, and it was only when her life wee endangered by the de fendant's conduct, she having been some months in the family way, that she had taken steps against him, the pro secutrix only having saved herself from being thrown down a flight of stairs by seizing hold of the baluster. he should call his witnesses, and then ask that a term of im prisonment might be inflicted on the prisoner under the Aggravated Assaults Act. Mrs. Mouncey said that she had been beaten with great violence by the defendant. On Sunday last the defen dant threw her with great violence on the floor, and dragged her out of the room by her arms, told her to go to the kitchen, and tried to throw her down stairs, but she caught hold by the balusters and prevented his doing so. The defendant was alWays drinking. At a late hour at night he abused her, and took hold of her hair and shook her head violently. Yesterday he took away her clothes, to prevent her coming to complain to the magistrate. Ile had repeatedly assaulted her and blackened her arms, and did nothing for his living. In answer to defendant, the prosecutrix said she did not pull his whiskers. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix whether the de fendant was any business ? The prosecutrix said he was a surgeon, but never had but one patient. A servant was called, and she stated that she had seen the prosecutrix's arms black through the defendant's vio lence. Mr. Robert Smith, surgeon, 457, Leinster-square, said from appearances in the prosecutrix's arms she must have been subjected to great violence. The prisoner was ordered to find two bail in £lOO each ,o keep the peace towards his wife. THAMES. A SWINDLER CAUGIIT AT LAST.—Edward Hisley, by trade a butcher, afterwards an attorney's clerk, and next a prisoner in the House of Correction for six months for in decently assaulting a woman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being concerned with two others in obtaining eight coats and seven pairs of trousers, from Messrs. Ballet and Co., clothiers and outfitters of Broad street, Ratcliffe, by means of false andfraudulent pretences. The prisoner and two other men obtained tho property in question by fraud. They promised to pay for the goods ou delivery, and having obtained them sent Messrs. Hellett's porter back to their warehouse, and then ab• sconded with the eight coats and seven pairs of trousers, which were sold and pawned immediately. Two of the swindlers were committed from this court and convicted at the sessions. The prisoner, who was the principal in the conspiracy, and who was heard of and seen in Roches ter, was arrested yesterday afternoon. Police-sergeant Briden, 4 K, was on the top of an omnibus and saw the prisoner cross the read from Houndsditch to the Minories. He left the omnibus, pursued the prisoner, and overtook him. On being told the charge against him the prisoner said misfortunes never come single, my wife gave birth to a child on Saturday, and now I am in for this job. Briden said the grand jury returned a true bill against the prisoner last July, and he wanted the prisoner remanded to obtain the judge's certificate of the finding. Mr. Paget-1 will remand the prisoner until to-tiDrrow. THE SURREY STAGHOUNDS.—This well-known Surrey pack of staghounds, which have hunted the county for many years, under the mastership of the young Epsom squire (Mr. A. Heathcote), but which wore threatened with abandonment in consequence of the insufficient pecuniary support received for their maintenance, aro now restored to their former position, as amicable and satisfactory ar rangements have been made to sustain the pack and the running deer, &c. Mr. Arthur Heathcoto has accepted the office of the master of the hounds, and a stag which has afforded many long runs will be uncarted to the hounds at Bookham this day. AN OCEAN YACHT RACE.—The arrangements for the groat American ocean yacht race have been com pleted. The course is to be from New York to Cowes. Three owners of yachts—Mr. J. Bennett, jun., o f the Hen rietta; Mr. Osgood, of the Fleetwing ; and Mr. Lorillard, of the Vesta—have agreed to stak e each 30,000 dols., making up a purse of 90,000 doll . (or say .£18,000) ; the first vessel in to tako the pool. The stakes are deposited in the hands of a well known loader o the three f the sporting world, Mr. L. W. Jerome. The tonnag e wing 201 tons ; the Henrietta, nearly alike, the Fleetwing T h e y will start on the 10th of of yachts is 2noex3tmonth. ; andthe 'These y3'2aoclh.ts are the finest and swiftest ever built in the United States, and the race is expected to be most splendid sporting,event of the year. the POSTAGE STAMPS.— The manufacture of these valuable little bits of paper is a Government mono poly in Franco as well as everywhere else, but is farmed out to a private contractor, who has his workshops in a back court of the Hotel des Monnaies or Mint, where a million and a half o: postage stamps aro daily produced at & cost to the Government of 90e. per 1,000, so that in the case of the lowest sort of stamps, of the value of lc., the G o vernment profit is 910 c ., or 9 f. 10 c. pe r 1,000 . The same workshops also produce the postage stamps for the French colonies, the kingdom of Greece, the Republic of Guate mala, and any other foreign countries that choose to apply. The sheets used in this manufacture are first sub jected to a preliminary process — viz., that of covering the whole surface with a sort of white transparent ink, an rsope ration which is performed by means of cylinders. The object of this process is to prevent forgery, for . ono to attempt transferring the design to wore any a lithographic stone, both the inks, the white and th e coloured one, would stick to the stone, and nothing but a uniform coloured im pression could be obtained. The composition of the white ink is a secret. In the press-room 12 powerful presses are constantly a t work, the of colours spread out before men having a number them on marble slabs. But there is a portion of the operation which, after printing, is entirely effected by the hand ; this consists in laying on certain specks of colour with th e b rus h. The last opera tion consists in pricking holes all round each stamp ; this is done by mac hi nery i n t h e f o ll ow i ng wa y : —Th e sheets when printed are taken to another workshop, where they are cut into half sheets, each, containing 150 stamps. Five of these half-sheets are laid one upon the other, and strongly pressed together in a frame, an operation per formed by two boys; the frame then passes under the pricking aparatus, and is thence brought back to the work man's hands by a combination of pulleys. The bad stamps are now picked out, and the remainder sent to the General Post-office. The State having also the monopoly of playing cards, the manufacture connected with it is also partly con ducted in the above workshops. Tho State causes a pecu liar paper, bearing a transparent f igu re of the eagle, s to be manufactured at a special mill ; at the postage stamp ma nufactory the types of the court cards and the aco of clubs are engraved by electrici t y; at the Imperial printing-office these types are used to print on the sheets marked with the eagle ; the paper in which the packs are wrapped up is stamped at the Hotel du Timbre. Card manufacturers, therefore, aro obliged to buy of Government the court cards, aces of clubs, wrappers, and paper on which to paint the low cards, which they do themselves. It is they who make up the packs, and send them to the retail dealers.—Ga/ignani. iou st WO 100 100 all 100 100 124 I 83 4 Dit 1214 ei 88 121 3k 38 71 1031 19 18; 106 i /
