The Transfer Offices of the Bank of England are closed to-thy, as us ua l on I st N ovem b er, to enable the officials to adjust the half-yearly account, and the Stock E xchange is closed according to custom. The neighbourhood of the " House," therefore, pre sents anything but a lively appearance. No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank r ate, and the Money Market generally is un changed, except as regards the demand, which is a little more active ; this is attributable to the fact that a large portion of the mercantile community delayed the negotiation of their bills to derive the advantag e o f a relaxation, if the authorities con sidered it expedient. Th e ma i ntenance o f t h e quo tation at 41 per cent. has not, however, caused any disa ppointment, but, naturally enough, in the pre sent period of extreme inactivity, traders would have liked to have learned that the Court had sepa rated with the announcement of a 4 per cent. mini mum. Th ough m l i ower terms—and they are low enough alreadyght be agreeable to many, the mercan tile world will have reason to rejoice if a steady movement up to 51 or 6 per cent. should occur, pro vided it resulted from a healthy expansion of our commerce. There was an influx of £3,000 at the Bank of flgland yesterday. Tenders were opene3 to-day at the Bank of New Zealand for £lOO,OOO New Zealand Government S ix per Cents.

Ti E St N, LO.N ON, THURSDAY EVE.NING, NOVEMBER 1 1366. a-r-Ar iT -y (fin " Tirtilll7lT .1,, HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, OCt. 30. The Queen, accompanied by Princess 'Anise, and attended by the Duchess of Roxburghe, drove to the Lynn of Muich. The Finance 3 of the Uuited (From the Derbyshire Courier.) The New York Tribune writes:—" The actual current revenue of the Federal Government is considerably over $500,000,000 per annum; its expenditure, including inte rest on its public debt and the payment of $100,000,000 of the principal per annum, are considerably less than $400,000,000. Iu other words, we can pay every current charge against the Treasury this year, asd yot extinguish more than a fifteenth part of our public debt." This is just what might have been expected from the existing currency system of the United States. We have repeatedly stated iu this paper that such would be the state of things, unless the greatest mismanagement on the part of the Financial - Secretary of the United States pre vented it. _ _ ln the time of urgent need, when civil war with all its destructive evils raged throughout their country, the people of the. United States had faith in themselves Their gold and silver were expended. Yet they found the means of raising and keeping in the field, for six years, en ormous armaments, for constructing a splendid Navy, for bearing up under the derangements of their foreign trade and their domestic industry, in an idea. What was that idea ? One of their own writers has thus expressed it: ` 1 Gold does not represent wealth more than real estate and certain kinds of property, since productive farms, mines, furnaces, mills, and factories, and labour-saving machinery, generally, are more valuable than gold, under a wise poli tical economy." They went on to carry out this idea into practice. They recognised the truth that circulating notes " ansVer a bettetipurpose for domestic business transac tions than specie, and can be secured US effectuaiiy on a property as on a gold basis." With no sparing hand then did their Government having received the sanction of the people's representatives issue out paper money based on the whole property of the American nation. _ "For domestic purposes and home circulation," says the writer before quoted, " our present national currency is more available than gold, and being secured by first moil.- gage bonds on our property, while the issues are regulated by the Government, there is no danger from suspension and bankruptcy." Before this paper money Was issuel the people of the United States had determined to submit to any sacrifice to subdue the South. They had the will—paper money en dued them with the powar_ " I have no money," a far West farmer might say, "gold is drained away and is a fabulous price, but I have sheep and oxen at the service of tho Com monwealth." " I have no property," said the working man, "but I have arms and legs at the service of my country." Then Government issued the almighty greenback. The people had faith in themselves. The contractor gave his stores, the soldier accepted his ray, the Minister of State took his salary in these bits of paper. The farmer pur chased greenbacks with his sheep and oxen. The working man bought greenbacks with his labour. These green backs, the representatives of aportion of the nation's wealth and the nation's labour, were paid in for taxes and again issued out by Government. So the war came to a successful issue. Then came the reaction. What would become of the men lately employed in fighting? What would become of the army contractors? The gunpowder makers? What became of them was this. They turned to productive industry in the place of destruc tive industry; The fight was over, and now " labour-sav ing machinery, furnaces, mills, and factories" claimed their exertions. For the money remained. Happily for the United States the national currency was not withdrawn. The paper money which had done so much for them in war did more for them in peace. So, says an American bullionist correspondent of the Times, " with all but the poorest classes money is a drug ; they do not know what to do with it ; they pay enormous prices for everything they eat and wear, for their dwelling, and every comfort of life ; pay heavy taxes without grumbling, and give freely to political and charitable objects." As for the workiug men they are all employed, and get high wages for their labour, as they ought to do. It is the abundance of national currency which enables the poor man to obtain high wages—thore is plenty of money to give in exchange for his labour. .The producer is able to add the amount of his taxation to the cost of production, and to charge a high price for tho products of industry. As a consumer the working man and the manufacturer pay their fair share of the national taxation. Cheap and dear aro only relative terms. In a heavil taxed country, like America, everything ought in justice to be at a high price. Especially should the working man, tho creator of the nation's wealth, obtain a high price for his labow. And at the present time in America he does It may be said that the war made America " poorer by all the property destroyed, all the gunpowder burnt, al the devastation of the South, and all the able-bodied labour• ing men who were killed." No doubt it did. But there was another cause in operation all the time making Ame rica richer. That cause was the abundance of money which even while the war continued was employed in their mines, and furnaces and factories, their forests and prairies, in developing the country's resources. Since the conclu sion of peace this process has been going on with increased rapidity. The movement of trade at New York for the current year shows that the revenues of the Government are be coming larger than over. The receipts from customs from Jan. 1 to Sept. 22 have been $101,680,500, against $70,481,835 for the corresponding period of 1865—an in crease of $31,198,705 during but little more than two thirds of the year. The receipts of gold at New York from California and elsewhere during the same period have been $31,612,256, against $13,728,147 for the correspond ing period of last year—an increase of $17,884,109. The exports of specie toEurope have been $53,962,450, as com pared with $`21,830,124 —an increase of $32,132,326, there having been $14,248,217 more specie shipped to Europe during the period referred to than was received at Now York from all sources."—Tintei Correspondent, Oct 2. During the panic here the Americans sent us in three weeks no less than eight millions sterling of gold. GOld is in fact cheaper, in relation to othercommodities, than anything else in the United States. It is not wanted for a circulating medium at home, and is therefore free for the uses of foreign trade. A very large amount of gold is now held in the Government Treasury, and not the slightest difficulty exists in paying the interest in gold on the part of the debt which was issued on that under standing. Of course, with a superabundant revenue, the United States can purchase at the price of the day any required amount of gold. There is, too, we are told, on the American market." " The people do not wander far outside the regions of safe securities." "no wild speculative projects There is one more remarkable fact to be stated. The population in 1860 was 31,443,321. It is in 1866, 35,500,000. Paper money has carried on the war, raised an enormous revenue, created a monstrous debt which it appears able to redeem at pleasure. It has resuscitated trade, promoted the prosperity of the nation, enabled it to buy gold at pleasure, and it has brought men, by the inducements which its flourishing condition have held out to the work ing classes of the old world, to four times the amount of those who perished in the War. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ----.--_, _ EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Joseph Morris, 23, Alfred place, Bedford-square, was brought up on remand before Mr. Alderman Lusk charged with embezzling several cheques and moneys, the property of his employers, Messrs. Groucutt and Co., iron dealers, Bilston, Staffordshire. Mr. Beard appeared for the prosecution, and a profes sional gentleman on behalf of the prisoner to watch • the case. _ . From the evidence adduced previously and to-day; it appeared that the prisoner had beau employed for several years as clerk in the firm of Groucutt, and at the time that he was alleged to have committed the different acts of em bezzlemeut charged against him he was engaged at an office of the company in Cannon-street at a salary of £3. Last August Mr. Daniel Groucutt, ono of the firm, finding that the prisoner had discontinued clrresponding with him, cam e to London, and then discovered the frauds in question. It was clearly proved that the prisoper had been paid divers cheques and moneys from customers of the prosecutors for which he had not accounted, and a letter dated the early part of last month from the'prisoner was put in as evidence, admitting that ho had been guilty of defrauding his employers, and ho ascribed his misconduct to difficulties caused by unsuccessful speculation. At his lodgings some scrip and betting books were found. Alderman Lusk, at the close of the evidence, committed the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail. Alderman Lusk said that the frequency of these em bezzlements became very serious. Scarcely a day passed that there were not 3 or 4 of them brought before the magistrates. It was very painful to see a young man like the prisoner, who held a good situation, guilty of the offence with which he was charged, but under the circum stances ho refused bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WASTONMISCIIIEF.—WiIIiatiI Parr, described as a stable man, without any home, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully smashing a large pane of glass in the shop window of Mr. William Higgs, chemist, No. 35, Piccadilly. Mr. Biggs said last night, about nine o'clock , I was in my parlour, and, hearing a crash of g lass, went out, and saw the prisoner standing in front °tiny shop. The priso ner stepped up to me and calmly said, " I'm the man who did it. I wish to be given in chs.rgfs;' A sent for a con stable and gave the prisoner in charge; ' Mr. Knox—What is the value of the glass ? Mr. Higgs —Three pounds. Mr. Knox--Are you insured ? Mr.. Higgs —I am not. Police-constable Lethbridge, 58 o—On going to Mr. Higgs's shop, and asking the prisoner.why he had broken the window, he said that he could not get a night's lodging, so he broke the window to get one. The prisoner had been to the Vine-street station to get an order for the work house, but they were all gone, and the prisoner left saying he was determined to have a lodging, and went into Jer myn-street, and having provided himself with a piece of brick went back and broke the window. Prisoner—l've no questions to ask. I did it to get a lodging for the night. Mr. Knox—lf that was your object you might have broken a smaller window at any rate. The unfortunate gentleman (Mr. Higgs) never did you any harm. It is a wanton and atrocious piece of mischief, and I shall send you for the full term of two months with hard labour. Norwich Musical Festival. NORWICH, Wednesday. The intelligent traveller, on his arrival at Norwich, ought, according to the local handbook, to be reminded of the description given of it by Fuller—or "old" Fuller, to give him his indispensable epithet. " Norwich," he wrote, "is (as you please) a city in an orchard,-or an orchard in a city." Most men would prefer for continued residence a city in an orchard, but at the present moment what Nor wich really resembles is an immense fair. All the houses, without exception, seem to be decorated, some with flags, some with bouquets, garlands, or other floral devices, and all with illumination lamps. Of cours3 every shop in the town is shut, and equally, as a matter of course, every first floor along the line of procession is thrown open, the win dows being blocked up with an eager crowd of loyal sight seers. The weather, which on Monday was cloudy, and on Tuesday rainy, is to-day magnificently fine, so that the female beauty for which Nmfulk (in common with every county in England) enjoys (in the county itself) a particu lar celebrity is seen to great advantage, irradiated, as it always should be on such out-of-door• occasions as this by a moderate amount of sunshine. Volunteers of every arm, reinforced by a troop of dragoon guards, detached specially for festival service from a regiment quartered at Colchester, are parading the streets. Most of the neighbouring gentry who take an interest in the pro ceedings have already arrived, and now, at the last moment, excursion trains are pouring out their human contents into the town, while little squads of Norfolk far mers come riding in on horseback. Desperate exertions are being made to obtain good places for the great sight. Prices rise up as the critical moment draWs near. When it begins to be whispered that the royal party aro about to pass through the first triumphal arch fresh points of view are discovered, and the right of profit ing by them quickly disposed of. Then the sound of can non in the distance is beard, and immediately afterwards I observe that several enterprising visitors, emulous of the fame of Dr. W. 11. Russell, and mistaking the peaceful en try of the Prince and Princess of Wales into the loyal city of Norwich for the battle of Sadowa, are hurrying to take up their position on the top of the cathedral tower. It has perhaps been already stated that their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess'of Wales, accompanied by her Majesty the Queen of Denmark, were to leave Sandringham for Costessy flail on Tuesday (yesterday) afternoon, and that a grand display of fireworks was to take place on their arrival. The following nobility and gentry had been invited by Lord and Lady Stafford to meet their royal guests :—The Earl and Countess of Leicester and Lady Anne Coke, Lord and Lady Sondes and the Hon. Mis's Mulles, Lord and Lady Suffield, the Earl of Gosford, Viscount Duncan, Lord and Lady Lovat and the Hon. Charlotte Fraser, the Hon. the Master of Lovat, Hon. Wm. and Mrs. Stafford Jerningham, Mr. Fitzosbert Staf ford Jerningham, Mr. and Mrs. Basil Fitzherbert, Sir Robert Gerard, Major and Mrs. Gerard, and the Hon. Francis Stonor. Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Major Grey, and the lion. Mrs. Stonor were in attendance on the prince and princess, and the Countess Reventlow and Captain Cus tenschiold on the Queen of Denmark. The arrangements made by Lord Stafford for his illustrious guests are said to have been of the most complete kind, and to have comprised everything that good taste could suggest and wealth secure, The royal cortege was accompanied from Costessy by an escort of Dragoon Guards and of Norfolk Light Horse, and was met at the boundary of the city, near the Hellesdon toll gate, by the mayor and other officers of the corporation, who accompanied it to St. Giles-gate. Then a procession was formed, in which the chief constable, a party of mounted police, a detachment of the Ist Norfolk Rifle Volunteers, a deputation from various friendly societies, several flag bear ers, a great variety of clerks (to the guardians, to the burial board, to the board of health, and so on), a large number of councillors, aldermen, and magistrates (four abreast), the city banner, the mace, the sword of justice, and, finally, the under-sheriff and sheriff, the deputy-mayor and mayor, took part. These and other civic and county authorities were followed by an escort of the lst Norfolk Light Horse Volunteers, which immediately preceded their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and suite. More volunteers, horse and foot, formed the coda of the procession, which was of a brilliant and imposing cha racter. No one not belonging to the escort or the suite, or who did not in some capacity join in the procession, can say positively at this moment what took place asit passed down the narrow and densely-crowded streets through which its destined course lay. But there is reason to believe that on arriving at the Guildhall their royal highnesses alighted at the great south door, and were conducted to the council chamber. It was also on the official cards of the ceremony that an address from the corporation would there be pre sented by tho mayor, and another from the bishop and clergy by the lord bishop, who was ac companied by the chancellor, the archdeacon, the canons in residence, the proctors for the clergy, the rural dean of Norwich, and the registrar. The pro cession was then reformed, and the prince and princess were escorted, as before, to St. Andrew's Hall, where they wore received in the most enthusiastic manner by the im mense crowd assembled round the building. In the meanwhile the musical performance had been going on for some time, but without obtaining much atten tion from the audience, who were probably not unwilling to hear Spohr's anthem, " 0 blessed, blessed are they,' followed by Mr. Costa's oratorio of " Naaman," but who were bout above all on seeing the Prince and Princess,and could think of nothing else until their arrival. Then, their Royal Highnesses having actually arrived, the public could still think of nothing else until their departure, which did not take place until the oratorio was at an end; so that on the whole the music of this morning did not—indeed could not, under the circumstances—meet with the attention which in itself it deserved. Spohr's anthem had, it appears, never been heard before at Norwich, and the amateurs of the town may well consider that they have not heard it even now. The only musical novelty that has yet been produced at this festival is Mr. Sullivan's overture "In Memoriam," which was played at last night's concert. A BIRTHPLACE OF CHOLERA.—The town of Pundhurpore, which is 119 miles from Poona, and is on the right bank of the Bheema (or Chundrabhage) river, has the distinction of being the dwelling-place of the idol Vitoba, believed by Hindoos to be au incarnation of Vishnu that appeared at that place. This idol is the chief object of worship among the Murathas, and pil grims come from far to see it. The worship is considered to be of more than usual virtue in two seasons of the year, which fall in July and October, and last from the 11th day of the waxing to the 11th day of the waning moon. At these times from 50,000 to 100,000 pilgrims are added to the 14,000 residents is Pundhurporo. Dr. Leith, presi dent of the Bombay Sanitary Commission, who inspected the place last year, states that the temple of Vitoba com prises tines ante-chambers and the idol chamber, the last being Bft. by Bft. in size, with a domed roof SOft. high, under which stands the stone image of the idol. The pil-. grime, entering the second ante-chamber, find there one or more of theßudwaee Brahmins, who inherit the revenue of the temple, and who in allowing entrance to it.give a pre ference to those whose offerings aro most worthy, keeping out others by the free use of the toba, or knotted handker chief. Before entering the temple the pilgrims are crowded into anarrow court, where the total free area is only about 449 square yards. Here they have to stand or sit packed close together for many hours, and the poor and feeble, who are unable to force their way, may remain from morn ing to night, fasting from obligation, or having eaten earth nuts only, thirsty, heated, and fatigued by the struggle. and breathing an atmosphere polluted' by the crowd, and by the filthiness naturally resulting from the long confine ment of so many people unable to retire when requiring to do so. About 20 are allowed to enter the temple to do obeisance each time the Budwa, inside opens the door. The crushing is so great that there is not room to move one's arms, and the air is suffocating. The clothes are wet with perspiration, and by the time the idol chamber is reached the devotees are bewildered and nearly un conscious, and so dazzled by the light there, after the dark ness they have been in, that they can scarcely understand the instructions of the poojaree to present their offering. The inner walls become damp with the moisture exl.iled by the crowd, and the idolalso becomes wet, and the priest then says the god is fatigued. After passing through the temple the exhausted pilgrim returns, if he be rich enough, to a crowded lodging in the town or to a tent, and if ho be poor he lies down without other shelter than his blanket or sheet in the damp air of the uncovered portion of the river bed, having drunk of its water that has been reck lessly polluted and defiled by man and beast. On. the 15th day of the two sacred seasons it is the custom fot the pil grims to visit the neighbouring temple of Kala Gopal. This visit is attended with great licence and revelry, and the concourse of people is immense. Caste is ignored, and all join in the sports the god is said to have enjoyed in his youth, and after dancing together under the suspended pot of curds, and smearing themselves and each other with the contents of the pot when it is broken, they all sup of it to gether. The revenue of the temple of Vitoba is not exactly known, but it is estimated that 60,000 rs. are collected by the Budwaeo ; the Government payment is rather more than 3,000 rs, and is given to asommitteo who spend it for the temple according to their discretion. It has for many. with virulence been noticed that cholera freque ntl y appears s virulence at the Pundhurpore pilgr ima g e, and that it is subsequently spread over the cou ntr y b y the returning survivors of the pilgrims. The seeds of the diseasethr could scarcely find more favourable circum stances for their development. The lanes and alleys of Pundhurporo aro abused to such purposes as to be nearly unpoafssotlsehtaoven stranger in the morning until the multitudes ., done their well . ; as scavengers. Dr. Leith's I from e l with a view to prevent the gathering of the ra p e I nded various being so dangerous to life, and he.hasfroercott To better ventila improvements intended to provide . mping ground for the tion of the temple, secure dry . pilgrims, provide clean drinkingevater and good drainage rid the streets of nuisances, and prevent over-crowding in the houses. The pilgrimage ought not to be encouraged, but it welfareitcanno require sup p r essed, and humanity and the corn - ' that its mischiefs and dangers be by all legitimate and practicable means abated.

SALMON IN THE MEDWAY• Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, an adjourned public meeting, convened by the High Sheriff of Kent, Mr. T. Farmer Bally, was held at the Town-hall, Maidstone, to receive a report from Mr. Ffennell, Government Inspector of Fisheries, as to improving and stocking the Medway and its tributaries with salmon and other fish. The chair was occupied by the High Sheriff, who announced that the association recently formed had last week made appli cation to the justices at the West Kent Quarter Sessions, to recommend the Secretary of State to form a fishery dis trict of the river Medway and its tributaries, and that such application had been acceded to. Au elaborate report was then received from Mr. Ffennell, to the effect that, on Monday, the Bth inst., and the following day, he made a full inspection of the river Medway and its tributaries, as slated by Messrs. Frank Buckland, Wild, Arnold, and God dard. The door, it states, at the very entrance of the Med way was completely bmTed to the admission of salmon, and for a period of nearly 200 years these fish had been shut Put. A few stray fish would still come up and jump at the lock, seeking to ascend and find a suitable bed of gravel on which to deposit their spawn. The lockkeeper had in formed him a few weeks back he had caught two salmon which had vainly attempted to get over. The river was so barred by the locks that to enable the salmon to get over by the use of ladders would be very expansive, and the stream was so obstructed by locks and mill weirs that a great portion of it was useless for spawning purposes. There were ; however, several parts of the river and its tributaries available if the fish could get at them, but in that case the produce would not be large. The Medway possessed large capabilities for the culture of non-migra tory fish, such as river trout, and much might be done if the proprietory would combine together and adopt a well organised system of protection, which might be made self-supporting by issuing tickets at a certain price to anglers. He recommended the associa tion to take up the culture of fish generally, and to introduce salmon by way of experiment in those parts of the river suitable for spawning. Ho would recom mend that artificial propagation should be adopted in such experiment, which might be well intrusted to the care of Mr. Frank Buckland. He was of opinion that the existing law gave powers to deal with the nuisances arising from the refuse proceeding from paper mills and factories. The report was adopted, and after some addresses, and a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT VICTORIA STATION. —Edgar Rose, late in the employ of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company at East Croydon, was charged with stealing a rug, the property of Mr. Webb, a gentleman residing near Croydon. Robert Lily, office-porter at Victoria Station, said at a quarter past 9 last Saturday a gentleman arrived at Vic toria Station to go by the 9.4 train to Croydon, and con signed his rug and portmanteau to his care. Witness called his attention to the train when it was about to start, and went to the locker where he had placed the things, but found the rug gone. In his dinner hoitr he searched the pawnbrokers, and at length found it pawned at Mr. Elliott's in Pimlico. Charles Morgan, assistant to Mr. Elliott, of 22,. Queen street, Pimlico, proved that the prisoner pawned the rug on Saturday morning for ss. Mr. Inspector Toay said it was pawned an hour after it was stolen. The prisoner was seen at the station on the same morning that the rug was stolen and was suspected. They thought other cases could be proved against him. He had been in the company's service, but dismissed. John Parish, 140 B, on duty at the station, produced the duplicate of the rug found by Wilson, one of the company's police on the spot, where he was searched. Prisoner declined to say anything, and was remanded. THAMES. JUTEXILE ;CRIME. -Philip Smith, aged 16, William Shute, 16, Henry Chi Hick, 13, and Edwin Slade (better known as Blind Boss), 19, were brought up on remand, charged with stealing a quantity of lead piping from an unoccupied house in Stepney, belonging to Mr. Pollard, a baker. It appeared that the prisoners had been several times to the house, and stolen the supply pipe, 12 feet in length, a brass tap and a ball, the value of the - NJ:Ole of whiCh was £5. Thera were the confessions of the prisoners, and the statement of a lad named Joseph Wills, a particeps crintinis, that they had stolen the lead. A woman, named Ellen Jane Clarke, of 1, Richmond-place, Stepney, calling herself a marine store dealer, but who appeared to deal in everything except marine stores, had bought 71bs. of the stolen load of Chittick and Smith for lld„ which was below its real value. Three of the prisoners are the sons of decent, hard-working people ; but the fouth, "Blind Boss," as he was called, had been twice convicted for uttering base coin. William Robinson, a police-constable, 666 A, said when he took Chittick into custody, and told him the charge, lie said: —" Yes, I was in it ; there is more connected with it, and we sold it to Mrs. Clarke, across the ruins. A man called Blind Boss waited outside while wo went into the house and got the lead. Blind Boss said, They won't buy it in a lump, take it into my house and' break it up.' We went to Boss's house with Smith, where the lead was beaten up. We afterwards sold it to Mrs. Clarke, and shared the money." The prisoners wore committed for trial. MARKETS. ---This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was only a moderate supply of beasts on sale here to-day. On the whole the demand for most breeds was steady, at Monday's currency. Prime Downs and half-bred sheep moved off freely at extreme quotations, but other breeds of sheep were a slow inquiry, at late rates. Thu top quotation was 6s. 4d. per Sibs. Calves, the show of which was rather limited, wera in fair request, and the currencies were maintained. The sale for pigs was firm, at very full prices.

LINCOLN. The Carholme is exceedingly heavy, and the steeplechase line particularly holding, but we are sure to have a capital meeting, as Mr. Chaplin is entertaining a large circle of friends, and the arrivals of horses are numerous. This morning some 40 of 50 did good work. Breadalbane led Knight of the Garter, Blinkhoolie, and Vulcan a nice smart gallop each, and the lot went uncommonly free, especially the Knight, who appears to have improved. Scarborough rendered a like office to Freemason. Clarice went a mile at a rattling pace and' among the other two year olds doing'and looking well were Apollo's Temple, Atalanta, Sujah Dowlah, Platttago, Verity, Blue Peter, Chelten ham, Musa, Little Treasure, and a cult by Leamington out of Aunie Laurie. Sundeelah galloped a couple of miles at a steady pace, and King Charming had a mile and a half g allop. Skylark tual Dart each wont a mile and three- quarter:, quietly; and the Lion and Treasure Trove took Mushroom a mile and a half. Scarborough also had a similar gallop to the latter trio. Plutus and Beeswiug wore out, but wo did not see them gallop. The "jumpers," Wild Huntsman, Maid of Kent, and Bitters, galloped over two miles each. Volunteer had a mile and a quarter spin, sharply. These wore all that we took a note of. MALTON. Little Treasure, The Lion, and Mushroom have gone to Lincoln, and you must judge of their Liverpool chances by their running there, also that of Skylark and Verity. None of John Scott's are doing any particular amount of work, West wick and Klarinska being the most active. The yearlings are all getting very forward. RICHMOND. Lozenge galloped two mileg this morning, and ought to be forward for the Liverpool Cup. Elliot gave Zenobia mile and three-quarters gallop. FYFIELD. Bradamante has done no work worth speaking of since her return from Newmarket, nor Pepper's Ghost either; and Savernako continues an absentee, like Adam Bede, Dulcimer. and Staghound. Nimble, Dragoon, and Pussy are merely cantering. Pintail, Overtonian,Bugler, Over ture, and Countess Amy galloped a mile and a half. LEWES. ACilia is doing first class work for tho Liverpool Cup, and must run into a place, for she is improving daily. This morning she galloped two miles beautifully. Alice and Miss Fanny were walking, but Haidee, Foncier, Ostregor, Marlborough, Thermometer, and others cantered 'freely. NEWMARKET. Joseph Dawson gave Friday, Othello, and Miss Harriette a rare good gallop of two miles, this morning, and Jollity went a like distance. Peter Price gave his Liverpool Cup horses a mile and a half spin, fast. Goodwin was paying strict attention to Nu, and the mare went a mile and three-quarters smartly. The Squire was in fair work. LITTLETON. Salpinctes is progressing as satisfactorily as any animal in the world can possibly do, and this morning did a mile and three-quarters in superb form. Proserpina took matters more quietly. WOODYEATES. To-day Mail Train and the Special galloped two miles, and no animals could look or go better. SALE OP BLOOD STOCK AT WORCESTER Mr. Bentley held his annual autumnal sale of blood stock at the rear of the Bell Hotel, on Wednesday, when 11 lots were disposed of at the undermentioned prices. Seve ral brood mares belonging to Lord Coventry, in foal to Umpire and Tim Whitler, were "put up," but none of them reached the reserved prices put upon them. Charm ing Woman was disposed of by private sale for 125 guineas- Little Goy brought 100 guineas, while Zisca fetched but 95 guineas, Mr. Stirling being her buyer, and, as will be seen in our report of tho races, she subsequently nearly brought off a "good thing" for her new owner, as she was only beaten by short head for the Selling Stakes. The best looking of all tho party was the yearling by Lifeboat out of Wild Cherry by Surplice, a coat full of goodness and quality, whom Mr, Brayley bought cheap indeed for 130 guineas. None of the others call for observation. The Property of John Mosson, Esq. Gs. Sister tb Stafford, by Faugh-a-Ballagh, her dam by Bustard ; iu foal to Macaroni (Mr. Porter) ...

The rumours, so freely circulated, that an offer would be made to substitute an irredeemable debenture stock, in lieu of the redeemable debentures, have apparently sub sided ; and the allusion at St. James's Hall that the deben ture holders had only paid £75 for every £lOO has been so entirely answered that the committee hope the subject will never again be revived.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (B)fori) Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE LORD H. T. A. LOFTUS. This bankrupt was described as formerly of Dublin, then of 55, Jermyn-street, then of St. James's-square, and now of 14, Motcombo-street, and to-day was appointed for the final hearing. The accounts show debts due to creditors unsnured, £3,917, ditto holding security £3,000, lia bilities £730, surplus £2,355. Assets, property given up to the assignees, £lO,OOO. The property consists of a slate quarry in Cork. The bankrupt received 4800 per annum from the Marquis of Ely, his nephew, for superintending his estates. Amongst the creditors are many West-end tradesmen, but the amounts due to them are small. The cause of the failure is thus set out :—ln consequence of the Fenian disturbances in Ireland and the money panic, the bankrupt had been unable to conclude the establishment of a public company for working his valuable slate quarry. Mr. Bayley supported and Mr. Reed opposed, but it was understood that the last examination would be passed, and the order of discharge standing over'until a future day. Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day. Market opens quiet. Sales probably 8,000 bales. A number of wolves have for some time past been committing ravages in the communes of Neuville, Champ-d'Oisel,and B3os (Seine-Infdricure). At the request of the inhabitants, Count Lecoulteux de Canteleu, head of the association in the department for destroying noxious animals, immediatelyorganised two hunts, in which a great many persons took part. In the first, two wolves were killed ; and in the second several of those animals were attacked without success. It is supposed that there are about ten of' them in the wools, and it is expected that another battue will shortly be arranged. tou tit I 100 100 100 all 100 100 :MEN: 140 100 100 1 , 0 100 100 56k 1031 4 107 01 121 # 85! 6 96 93 I 1(3 21
