MONEY MARKET AND COMMERML INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Only a very moderate demand has been experi enced in discount circles to-day, aad the rates are at present without the slightest variation. In the Stock Exchange loans in Government Securities are in limited request at last week's quo-. tations. The M'Gregor Laird has arrived from the West Coast of Africa with £15,000. The subscription list of the Agra Bank will close to-day for London, and to-morrow (the 13th) for the country. The directors of the Otago and Southland Invest ment Company have intimated that the accounts for the half-year ending the 31st July have been duly audited, and that they have declared an interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, payable on the 12th instant.

A. James, of the firm of Edwards, James, and,Co. were appointed liquidators. In the port of London last weak less animation bail been apparent. At the Custom-house 179 vessels have been announced as having arrived from for eign ports, and there were 2 from inland. The en tries outwards comprised 109 vessels, of which 21 Were despatched in ballast. The departures for the Australian colonies have been 7 vessels ; viz., 1 to Australia, 2 to New Zealand, 1 to Port Phillip, 2 to Sydney, and 1 to Hobart Town, with an aggregate t onnage of 6,400. There was an improvement to-day in the price of Port Philli p Mining shares, owing to the great in crease that has taken place, according to despatches Just received, in the yield of gold per ton, and the c onsequent large remittance likely to arrive by the next mail from Clunes. The mine also shows an increase of " yield in depth." From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week are generally of an unsatisfac tell' character. Business at Manchester has con tinued very quiet, with a further downward ten dency in the prices of cloths and yarns. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has re mained inactive, while in the hosiery and lace de -1 artments of Leicester and Nottingham no improve- Yneut eau be reported in the demand for fancy Pods. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver 4alnpton little change has taken place, business in most departments having been exceedingly de- Pressed. Two o'CLocK. The Money Market for to-day is closing very quietly, although a little more activity has been experienced since the earlier hours of business. Telegrams from Southampton announce the arrival of the mail steamer Atrato from the West Indies and the Pacific, but the amount of specie on board has not yet been announced. In the Corn Market to-day there was only a moderate attendance, but business continued mode rately active, and an advance of ls. per quarter to ok place on home-grown wheat. Foreign was in good d eman d, a t a s i m il a r advance. Barley, !Us, bea ns , and peas were without alteration. In flour the operations have been to a fair extent, and late quotations are fully maintained. a M ore activity a n d buoyancy have prevailed to ay in the market for the Funds, and also in the Other departments of the House. In the morning Consols advanced 1, but, owing to a few sales in realisation of profits, a variation has ensued ; they are therefore still 891 for transfer, and 881 1 / dividend f or t h e accoun t .

PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning. About 3 o'clock this morning a fire broke out on board the bark Grenapa, 705 tons, laden with coal, from Cardiff, for Jamaica, and then lying in the Sound. The alarm having been given by a gun from H.M.S. Liverpool, assistance was sent to the burning vessel, which was towed to the northern side of Mount Vatten and there scuttled. Th e floating engines belonging to the dockyard were set to work, and by the efforts of a detachment of the Royal Marines the flames were extinguished. CABINET COUNClL'—Summonses were issued on Saturday evening for a Cabinet Council to-morrow after noon at the Earl of Derby's official residence iu Downing street. The Council is summoned for half-past 3 o'clock. _ _ _ Lord Naas has appointed Mr. W. Edmonstone Lendrick his private secretary. LORD BROUGHAM, we are glad to learn, has con sented to sit for his bust to Mr. Adams, of Rome, the artist who is engaged on the statue of Mr. Gladstone for Liver pool. THE FIRE AT QUEBEC, it now appears, has de stroyed 55 streets, 2,500 houses, and £600,000 worth of property, and has rendered houseless 20,000 persons, almost wholly of the artisan class. Loss OF LIFE ON THE IRISH COAST.—On Saturday night the steamer Ceres, trading between London and Dublin, was wrecked on the coast of Wexford, and 20 lives lost. Captain and crew saved. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY.—About nine o'clock this morning, at 37, Alfred-pace, Bedford-square, a middled-aged lady, named Levey, who has been staying there for some time, under the care of an attendant, threw herself from the second floor window; and, in falling, broke two panes of glass in the first floor window with her feet, and struck upon the railings or balcony, and thence was precipitated into the area. Death, of course, being in stantaneous. The mind of the tr.:fortunate deceased has for some time past been in a state of derangement, neces sitating the constant care of a female attendant. MR. ROBERT BUCHANAN--the young Poet—thus, with a noble and affecting burst of indignation, sets aside with scorn the cruel charge of sycophancy directed against him by the Westminster Review, because of his dedication of the last volume of his poems to Mr. Hep worth Dixon, theeditor of the Athenoium. The objectionable passage in the Westminster Review, he says, was as follows : —" Mr. Buchanan's London Poems' aro disfigured by one of the most sycophantic prefaces wo ever read"—mean ing, of course, the dedication to Mr. Hepworth Dixon. I will not deny that these words of the anonymous writer gave me a certain pain ; for when one is bitten, it matters little whether the attack come from a pure breed or a mongrel. Let one who has undergone a sore struggle in the pursuit alike of bread and fame examine his feelings towards the first man who whispered confidence and afforded help, and he will know what my feelings were and are towards Mr. Dixon. With me at least gratitude towards those who brought the cup of water, while priest and Pharisee passed by, is a passion deep as tears,—as pure as the elements drunk down in that refreshing draught, and as eternal. These things are trifles to all thelrest of the world, but they are immortal memories to the recipients; and whosoever forgot them or feared to utter his gratitude for them, would assuredly be doomed to a dog's paradise —the comfortable, painless region where there is yelping and wagging of tails, but no shining of souls. The word "sycophantic," as written in the Westminster Review, expressed every imputation which to a pure mind is horrible and loathsome reflected hideously on my private character as a man, tampered foully with my holiest private feelings, and, in a word, was distinctly of that complexion which the law terms libellous. Yet a very little reflection convinced me that to seek redress from the cowardly author of the assault would be to demean a stainless reputation to the plae-utrtaatleldtoe,v—elwhere such base things are conceived and per pass into the foul region whether no man, howsoever earnest his indignation may be, can venture with clean feet. So I left the assaulter to his dog's paradise, content that he should howl and rot there, and faintly hoping that the consciousness of public contempt might prevent him from ever again venturing on the highways of literature. • MDLLE. RosA BONHEUR has nearly completed a largo picture of cattle and drovers in the Highlands. The men are vigorously belabouring some of the animals in order to make them move on a rough road. One of the most important of the latter is in Mdlle. Bonheur's compo position, intended to be a dun bull of skittish habits and irascible temper. In order to paint this creature after her usual careful fashion, the artist procured in Scotland a noble animal. The bull was despatched from Britain, but, ou arriving in a French port, he was stopped, being liable to suspicion as coming from a country infected with cattle "disease." The lady waits to complete her picture until, by means of a special order from the Minister of the Interior, the brute is permitted to enter France.— Athenaeum. ANOTHER OPERA HOUSE IN LONDON.—It is said that the vacant site in Leicester-square, caused by the fire which destroyed the buildings once known as Miss Liu wood's gallery, so long coveted by theatrical speculators as the finest in London for a new theatre, has at last been secured by Mr. Mapleson, the lessee of her Majesty's Theatre. In this admirable situation Mr. Mapleson intends, it is stated, to erect a magnificent opera house at a cost of about £lOO,OOO, and which will, ill is hoped, be one of the most perfect buildfngs of the kind in Europe. Mr. Maple son has selected as his architect Mr. E. A. Salomons, of Manchester, a gentleman who has recently achieved a very high reputation as a theatrical architect in Liverpool and Manchester, for which towns he designed the New Prince of Wales Theatre and the Prince's Theatre. " The Paris Guide Book," which is to be pub lished on the occasion of the Exhibition of 1867, will be entitled " Paris par see Illustrations," and will be divided into three parts, the first relating to the art, the second to the science, and the third to the social life, of Paris. Victor Hugo is writing the introduction, M. Thiers the history of the Legislative body, Michelet that of the Col lege de France, Theorhile Gautier an article on the Louvre and its treasures, Sainte-Beuve one on the Academy, Ito queplan one on the lyric stage, and George Sand ono on the artistic beauties of Paris. The illustrations will be taken from drawings by Meissonier, Gavarni, Gustave Dor6, and other famous artists. NEW JUDGES.—We believe we are correct in stating that an intimation has been conveyed to the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench that it is the intention of the Government to propose at the meeting of Parliament the creation of three new judges—one being allotted to each court. It is also proposed to rearrange the circuits, and the judges have been consulted as to the most convenient redis tribution of counties to the different circuits. We believe they will recommend that Lancashire should bo created into a separate circuit. Yorli in the northern counties will form the Northern Circuit. Tho Midland Circuit will be remitted to its ancient limit, receiving in addition Birming ham, at which town, for the future, an assize is to be held. —Sunday Gazette.

About an average supply of home-fed stock was on offer but the quality of most breeds was only middling.

SCOTT V. BARNES, Mr. Pollock, Q.C., on behalf of the Crown Life Assurance Association, said he had to move the Court to alter an order which had been made in chambers. It appeared the plaintiff, Mr. John Scott, was a judgment creditor of a party de ceased, named Barnes, and that the defendant was his wife and administratrix. She claimed a policy of assurance from the office in question in right of the de ceased, but the plaintiff preferred his claim also on the strength of the judgment he had obtained. The association was one of those old-fashioned offices which traded under a body of shareholders, and, in fact, had no more corporated existence than a banking com pany or any other private firm. The policy in ques tion had been signed by three of the directors, who were personally liable by the effect of tko order to pay twice over, which would be a great hardship. They bad no in terests as between the claimants, and all they wanted was to be protected against a double demand. The Lord Chief Justice said that this matter should have been brought on at Chambers, and it must be referred there. THE QUEEN V. BENNETT. This was a motion to discharge a rule calling on Thomas Bennett to show cause why there should not b 3 a criminal information against him for a libel in the local board of health at Wiotherden. The defendant objected to the mem bers of the board, and in a correspondence with the central board of health charged them with forgery in respect to the votingpapers. This correspondence and the charge in ques tion constituted the libel. He wished, through his counsel, to explain that lee made the charge in consequence of being misinformed, and he was ready to make an ample apology and pay the costs on being guaranteed that the proceedings would be stayed. The apology was accepted by counsel on the part of the Board of Health, and the rule was acordingly dis charged. LEGAL CHANGES.—We believe there is but little doubt that the Solicitor -Generalship will be at the disposal of Mr. Russell Gurney, and that if it is not filled by that gentleman it is because the present and pleasant certainty of tho recordership is more prized by Mr. Gurney than the ambitious risks of political preferment. It is also to bo borne in mind that Southampton is scarcely an agreeable place for a Conservative to meet a Liberal in single com bat. The success of the Conservatives hitherto have been brought about by divisions among the Liberals, or by an undue proportion of Liberal candidates. The run of luck of Conservative lawyers dons not seem to approach its end. We have some reason to anticipate that another profes sional prize will soon be at the disposal of the Government in the shape of a vice-chancellorship, Sir John Stuart being likely to retire. —Sunk/ ly Gazette. SUNDAY BANDS IN THE PARK.—On Saturday a deputation, headed by the Rev. Newman Hall, the Rev. Dr. Hugh Allen, Dr. Spence, and gentlemen connected with several metropolitan religious societies, waited upon Lord Joha Manners, the First Commissioner of her Ma jesty's Office of Works, with members of the Lord's Day Rest Society, to urge their views with respect to the Sun day bands in the public parks. A memorial, setting forth the points to be urged upon his lordship, stated that the memorialists believed that " the only way of preserving the Sunday as a day of rest and worship," was to uphold the Divino command, "ItAnernber the Sabbath-day to keep it holy." " The sanctity of the Sabbath," the memo rial went on to say, "is its only safeguard ; and although we are opposed to any effort to compel persons to observe the Sunday, we are as decidedly opposed to any and every effort which unnecessarily tends to prevent any persons from enjoying Sunday as a day of rest. All attempts to secularise and make a holiday of the day of rest, such as the establishing of Sunday bands in the parks, have this tendency." The document then went on to state that men were employed to play all kinds of secular music in the parks, and others were "permitted openly to break the laws which prohibit the selling and hawking of goods on Sundays by crying out for sale programmes of the music played ;" that the bands injured the Sabbath and ragged schools, and draw away many young people from their re ligious duties ; that from the bands hundreds of parsons of both sexes flocked to the public-houses and tea-gardens ; that the bands encouraged Sunday labour, and that the bands were an annoyance "to many of the residents, who have to pass through the parks, because they collect large crowds of persons in one spot." The' concluding para graphs of the memorial said that the Government opposed " the assembling of persons in the park to hold a meet ing or to preach the Gospel," yet allowed large crowds to collect to listen to secular music on the day of holy rest, which was unfair and partial, and if Sunday bands were allowed preaching should also be allowed ; "if a stand were erected for the one a stand ought to boerected for the other ;" and the memorialists hoped that, if his Lordship could not suppress the bands already established, that the sale of programmes (by which the bands are sup ported) might be suppressed, and that a stand for preach ing might "be erected and placed nndor the control of a committee of cleigymen and Dissenting ministers." Va rious members of the deputation proceeded to urge these and other points upon his lordship, and argued that the public money ought not to be spent iu erecting stands for the bands. His Lordship said there were many difficulties in the propositions of the deputation so far as regarded their desire that the system of Sundaybands, which had been in existence for several years, should ba abolished. Ile ro minded them, too, that if preaching were allowed all classes of speakers must be allowed, and the infidel as well as the religious teacher would desire to publish his principles in the Park. After reminding the deputation that it was open to any ono to take proceedings against illegal acts, he as sured them that the subject should be fully considered. Tho deputation then withdrew, after thanking his Lord ship for the attention he had given them. THE STATE OF PARTIES.—The number of new members returned to the House of Commons this year has now been increased to 34. The now members are —Lord J. Hay, Ripon; Mr. Candlish, Sunderland; Mr. R. Arkwrigbt, Leominster; the Hon. G. Denman, Tiver ton ; Mr. M. Wyvill, Richmond ; Mr. 11. A. Herbert; Kerry ; Mr. M. Stanilaud, Boston (who obtained his seat on peti tion) ; Mr. IL Whitmore, Bridgnorth (who obtained his seat on petition); Sir E. Lechmere, Tewkesbury ; Mr. Eckorsley, Wigan ; Mr. J. Goldsmid, Honiton ; Mr. E. Gorst, Cambridge ; Mr. C. Capper, Sandwich ; Sir J. Hay, Stamford; the Hon. Mr. Lascelles, Northallerton; Mr. B. Eykyn and Mr. Edwards, Windsor ; Mr. B. Osborne and Lord Amberley, Nottingham; Mr. D. Fordyce, Aberdeen shire ; Lord Eliot and Mr. M. Chambers, Davenport ; Mr. T. B. Hildyard, South Nottinghamshire; Mr. R. Dims dale, Hertford; Mr. R. B. Brett, Trielston (who obtained his seat on petition) ; Mr. J. A. Smith, Hertfordshire ; Mr. R. Nicholson, Petersfield ; the lion. J. Henniker-Major, East Suffolk ; Mr. P. Vanderbyl, Bridgewater ; the Hon. G. W. Barrington, Eye; Capt. D. Pennant, Carnarvon shire ; the lion. Mr. Cust, North Shropshire; Mr. Howell Gwynn, Brecknock; Captain White, Tipperary; and Mr. Jervoise Smith, Falmouth. These changes have been at tended by a gain of one vote to the Liberal party, count ing two on a division, but four seats aro at present lost to the Liberals at Reigate, Lancaster, and Totnes, so that the Conservatives have virtually gained ten votes this year. Among the elections now pending aro Belfast, where there is a seat vacant in consequence of Sir Hugh Cairns having accepted office as a Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery; Dublin University, through Mr. Walsh having received a legal appointment ; Galway, through Mr. Morris having received a legal appointment ; Water ford, through the Earl of Tyrone becoming a peer; NV-ox ford, through Mr. George becoming an Irish Judge ; West Glocestershire, through Mr. Bolt being appointed Attor ney General; and Pembrokeshire, through the death of Mr. Lort Phillips. Thus between 40 and 50 new mem bers will probably enter Parliament this year, the average number of changes attendan t on a dissolution being eighty. THE WESTERN FlSHERlES.—Duringthhehdtp:sotf I week about 20, 000 hhd s. of p ilchards and 12,000au mac kerel were caught on th e coasts of Devon and Cornwall. - in one ni by One Cornish family earned more than a catch of pilchards.

A few years ago Mr. John Dent, the head of the house, left Hong-Kong with a fortune, said to be over £40,000 a-year. He was director of several of the joint-stock undertakings which suffered so heavily in the recent panic. Being dissatisfied with the management of the house in China he lately returned to Hong-Kong, in time, we hope, to save the establishment. The house is one of those princely concerns which have few equals in commercial standing. It ranked next to that of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co., whose business was conducted on a scale of almost regal grandeur. L 3 :11 113 Is; tsi 181 1118 171 Ifl '7; / 501 50 1211 5 41 1 1(1 ES 121 31 i f 1001 1031 i i ,ITII~S. SPORTING NOTES. One of the last of the autumnal meetings took place last week, under the management of Mr. Topham, at Aintree ; and although the fields were . not up to last year's average some interesting sport was enjoyed. The only event, however, that I think it necessary to criticise is the Cup, which the worthy clerk of the course has for several years reserved for the last day, but which I am satisfied the Messrs. Topham would, in the interest of many of their patrons, and,the Press especially, do well to fix for Wed nesday or Thursday. Now that the race is over, no one can disputo that it turned out ono of the, finest handicaps of the season. The three first places in the race were occu pied by rank outsiders; and the fact of two bJekmakers who are no mean judges picking out fourteen horses to lay 5 to lagainst when the weights appared, in each case hav ing different lots, and each giving the backer one, two, and throe, speaks volumes as to the extraordinary ability of the handicapper. Mr. John Frail, the enterprising clerk of the course, has issued, as usual, a mast attractive programme fur the four days' racing at Shrewsbury, which commences to-day. Many of the most influential members of the turf and the aristocracy continue their horses in training after the Newmarket Houghton Meeting is 'supposed to have finished the legitimate racing of the season purposely to assist at this popular gathering. As a proof of the estimation in which Mr. Frail is held, it may be noticed that amongst the nominators are Prince de Soltykoff, the Dukes of New castle, Cleveland, and Hamilton ; Earls Westmorland, Bradford, Wilton, Poulett, Stamford, and Brownlow ; Lords Bateman and Forester; Count Batthyany ; Sirs C.Eushout, Fred. Johnstone, H. Edwardes, and W. Booth ; Messrs. W. G. Craven, Merry, Payne, Pryor, A.Heatheote, Tea Broeck, H. Coventry, and a host of other turf notabilities. The Shrewsbury Cup will be the great feature of Tues day, when, doubtless, several of the Liverpool Cup com petitors will meet again for this valuable prize, but of that division I am under the impression that;Beeswing's 141 b and Moulsey's 71b penalties will settle their pretensions, and consequently that the winner will emerge from that lot which did not figure on the Aintree racecourse last week. Of the'se, I must at once ignore the chance of Ostreger, on account of the distance, and of Hollyfox, be cause he is not doing sufficient work. Westwick is next on the list; but notwithstanding the crushing weight of 7st 121 b for a three year old, which he has to carry, I ex pect to see him in the first three, as he is about the best class horse engaged in the handicap. Arkansas and Pro visor have no attraction for rue ; on the contrary, Sir Frederick Johnstone's lot, Scarborough, Cranford, and Queen Mary, appear especially dangerous. Of the re mainder, presuming Gibraltar is a " gone coon " from old ago, I see no danger from anything except Wild Poppy and Jezabel. The Battlefield Handicap should go to LORD WESTMORLAND or VOLUNTEER, whose perform ances latterly make him formidable with all his weight. It is any odds on KNIGHT OF THE GARTER for the Salopian Stakes if he should start. In the Column Han dicap, to be decided on Wednesday, there is nothing with a chance superior to BRICK; and for the Monk moor Handicap HATTY is nicely weighted. The Hurdle Race is* aquestion of going to whichever Lord Poulett starts, and nothing is better in the Wynnstay Welter Cup than WILD AGNEs. For the Gold Cup on Thursday, it would be an exciting race if VIRIDIS and Friponnier were both to put in an appearance, though in case he did I have very little doubt of the first-named filly's superiority over this distance of ground. The Copeland Nursery will, of course, depend a great deal upon previous running; and I can only point to the extraordinary chance which FREEMASON ap pears to possess with only Gst 101 b on his back, as it must be recollected he has beenbacked for considerable sums for next year's Derby. This horse is also well in in the Calde cot Nursery, and the owner of RATTY has nothing to com plain of in her weight ; still the result naturally depends almost entirely upon previous running, and for that reason I think it desirable to say nothing about the Hawkstone Welter Cup and the Longner Hurdle Race.

NOTES Froze TRAINING DISTRICTS (THIS DAY) MALTON. •Westwick has left here, accompanied by Queen of Nuts, for Shrewsbury; and having had a thorough preparation the former ought to land the big handicap at the Salopian capital. Tho filly, too, is very fit, and should return a winner. Verdi is not quito so forward in condition, but of late has followod Knight of St. Michael in nice smart gallops. Grand Cross is in physic, and Taraban trotting about with Knight of the Grove. The Lion has been stopped, and Troasare Trove is in physic. Shepherd has just received another batch of yearlings, and amongst them is a very promising frily called Queen of York, by the Marquis out of Queen of Trumps' dam (Catherin e P arr ) , which we believe is own©d by a Mr. Rodgers. NEWMARKET. A lot of our horses have gone on from Liverpool to Shrewsbury, and a few others have gone direct from here, to be followed by more to-day. Godding and Bloss aro both away, consequently their herd lads are restricting the horses left behind to trotting and cantering only, tho Hermit looking uncommonly well. Joseph Dawson gave the Rake and Friponnier a mile gallop this morning ; and we also saw D'Estournol and Ravioli go a similar distance, the former led by Sealskin and the latter by Leybourne. Jennings galloped both the Dragon and Imperator ; and the senior Hayhoe set Dalesman to take Hippie, Jasper, and Falkenstein along. Bombastes and Mike were trotting ,only ; but Julius (who has been through a course of physic during the past week) reappeared at exercise this morning, and had two or three long, steady canters. Enohanteur is now in physic. Pericles merely trotted. Our yearlings are progressing very satisfactorily. We have an immense number of them, and more are ex pected in the course of the present week. Those of Lord Glasgow's, which have just arrived at Harlock's, comprise a brown colt by Tom Bowline, dam by Old Melbourne, out of Miss Whip, a chesnut colt by Tom Bowline out of Makeshift, a bay colt by Tom Bowline, out of Fluttk a bay colt by Young Melbourne, darn by Toxophilite, out of Miss Whip ; a brown colt by Young Melbourne, damby Gameboy, out of Physalis ; a brown colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing, out of the Drake's dam ; a brown colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing, darn by Young Melbourne, out of Maid of Masham ; and a bay colt by Barbatus, dam by Young Melbourne, out of Brown Bess, by Camel. STOCKBRIDGE. Lord Zetland, Siberia, Mr. Pitt, Rinderpest, Charming May, Glendale, Beaconfield, Violet do Clare, Adelina, Rattler, and Fair Rosamond are trotting about, and are shortly to bo sent to Tattersall's. Uncas and Distin each galloped a mile this morning, and are growing into very nice colts, filling out well. Pantaloon and Copenhagen con tinue to school the Danebury yearlings. Tom Brown is to leave here in a week or two, the Duke of Hamilton having purchased the Beckhampton grounds specially to train his horses upon. Wild Agnes has gone to Shrewsbury, and is very fit. Apsley and Honesty galloped a mile and a quarter this morning, and the rest of the Houghton team merely trotted and cantered. RICHMOND. We have had very rough weather here during the past week which sadly interfered with training operations; but the elements have now undergone a vast iniprovement, and work was resumed in earnest this morning. Strath conan again led Plaudit and Rose a couple of can tors and a gentle mile gallop, Violet following them. Moldavia led Minnette a mile and a half ; and Newland was schooling a lot of yearlings. Jacob Watson has just received:an additional bevy of these youngsters, among them being a half brother (on Plausible's side) to Plaudit, by Oxford. The others comprise a colt by Newminster out of Diomodia, a colt by Newminster out of Extremet, a filly by Voltigeur out of Lankey Bet, a filly by Buccaneer out of Miss Armstrong's dam, a full sister to Strathconan, &c. EXTRAORDINARY RUMOURS ABOUT THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. —As a proof of how much has been thought upon the state of the health of the Emperor of the French by the French people, says one of our weekly contempo raries, there is among the workins men of Paris a story that he has been dead a fortnight, and was personated at the review on Monday by a well-known;tent-maker. There are three men in Paris, it seems, who very closely resemble the Emperor; one, the man just mentioned, another a woodranger, and the third a dancing-master. There seems, however, no reason to doubt but that the Emperor has been more seriously indisposed than his friends cared to acknowledge publicly. It is certain that onlyforoign papers said anything directly upon the forbidden topic; and if any of them ventured beyond the region of (supposed)fact to that of imagining the consequences of any serious re sult of the illness, they were not permitted entre.nco into France. We learn, however, this week that his Majesty attended a review in the Bois de Boulogne , and that too as on horseback; from which we may conclu de that he h be come quite convalescent.

A COTTON MILL BY FIRE. DESTRUCTIO N OF On Thursday morning the largo cotton mill at Maos-y-dre, near Mold, occupied by Mr. F. S. Bateson, was entirely destroyed by fire with its valuable contents, consisting of a large stock of cotton and a considerable assortment of new machinery. The loss is estimated at from £20,000 to £25,000, but it it nearly, if not quite, covered by insurance. The calamity will throw about 200 workpeople out of work. COMMITTAL OF THE Ex-CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. —On Saturday Wm. Thompson, alias Bendigo (the ex-champion of England), was brought before the Not tingham bench of magistrates, charged with using threat ening language to Mrs. Moore, landlady of the 'awe Crowns, Parliament-street. Mrs. Moore said the defen dant came to her house on Thursday and knocked a man down, and when he was getting up the prisoner threw him into the fire-place. Witness remonstrated with him, and ho then used very horrible language. lie continued in this strain about 20 minutes, and then went away. The pri soner said he was very sorry, and begged pardon, addin, "I am guilty." The be nc h ordered Wan to find the usua g l sureties, which not being forthcoming he was locked up. HOSPITAL FORD I SEASES OF THE CHEST, VICTORIA PARK.—The number of patients relievB,l at this institution during last week was 1,342, of which 319 were new cases. A fracas is reported to have taken place on Mon day evening on board the mail steamer Connaught, on the passage from Kingstown to Holyhead, be tween an Irish M.P. and an enterprising capitalist now settled in Ireland. It appears some badinage over wine about the capitalist starting in opposition for the borough of an M.P. led after a while to some severe blows and nose-pulling, which it is said will probably lead to a suit against the M.P. in one of the civil courts. Among the " guys "at the East-end on Ritualistic cnartch the Nov. were several representing n in their " ribbons," which o. w l aranunerative to popular, and proved exceed v in„ ur y i e n • (-.• the afternoon their enterprising ownera. two mounted figures rode down Bond-street—the horses and riders whitewashed and painted—paro dies on the statues in Leicester-square.
