If true, we can e" g r atulate the buyers as well as Hungary, as th ose rich'cleposits will pay large dividends, and grea tly benefit a country which, although full of k es°ll rces, is only in its infancy. The grain mar ets o are, at the latest date, active, and price a s every 11?.here have advanced, with a prospect f further Il se, as there is a considerable demand from the Fi t °llt h of Germany, Switzerland, and France.

Con "lderable depression has lately prevailed in the e° , l „ ° nies of V ancouv er Island and British Columbia, b"` - ' several failures have in consequence occurred, 3s°i ne of which this bank may be affected.

Mexican Stock continues to 'ant. r improve owing to the expected development of the country under Juarez and American ad:ninistration. There is a little depression in Turkish Bonds and Greek, Spanish, and Italian Securities exhibited a slight degree of weakness. The New Russian Scrip is nearly 4 lower, at 1 prem., but a considerable rise is anticipated, the market having, as alleged, been largely oversold. There is an active but almost private demand for the Confederate Bonds at 6 to 7 per cent., and there are strong reasons to believe that the United States Government will adopt the loan and pay off bond holders. Such a proceeding is quite in accord with the liberal principles of intermational law. Mexican have advanced kto 19a ; but Turkish 5 per Cents. have declined I- to 323-, 1 ; Greek, to 131 14 ; Spanish Passive, -4 to 20 ; and the Cer tificates, to 13 ; and Italian remain steady at 54i _ _ _ Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very dull ; prices, however, have remained without mu(;11 variation.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) THE LIBEL IN THE "PALL-MALL GAZETTE." HUNTER V. SHARPE. His lordship summed up this day in one of the most elaborate and able judicial addresses that perhaps ever emanated from the judgment bench in a case like the present. He commenced by alluding to the vast importance of the subject of con sumption, out cf the treatment of which arose the present action. It appeared that the plaintiff was at variance with the ordinard practice in this country of treating that disease. The evidence of medical men who had been ex amined was most interesting, and the science and infor mation developed the protracted hquiry in which they were engaged. At the conclusion of his lordship's summing up, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed th 3 damages at one farthing. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Chief Justice Bovill.) DREW T. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. -HEAVY DAMAGES. This was an action brought by the administrators of Mr. Drew for compensation against the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. Tho plaintiff during kis lifetime carried on an extensive business as a timber merchant on Mount Pleasant, Cold Bath-fields, and on the occasion of the terrible acci dent on the Brighton Railway, near the Caterham junction, he and his wife were passengers. Both Mr and Mrs. Drew we:o killed, and a family of young children were thus suddenly bereft of both parents. The administrator brought the present action to re cover compensation for the loss of the life of Mr. Drew, whose nusiness, at the time of his melancholy death,was in a very flourishing condition. There was also another action against the company brought on the part of the chil dren. On the case being called on, Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the plaintiff, said the Brighton Railway Company had consented to a verdict being taken in both actions for the plaintiff, the damages in the first being set down at £7,500, and in the second at £5OO, making £B,OOO in all. STIOREDITCH COUNTY COURT; (Before Mr. Dasent.) THE MUSICIAN AND THE MUSICAL TRIPE DEALER.- ISON V. VOXE. This was an action to recover damages sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the non-employment of his band of musicians at the opening of the defendant's ti ipe shop. Plaintiff said that defendant was to open a tripe shop in the Hackney-road on a certain Saturday night recently, and he engaged plaintiff and four more musicians to come and celebrate the occasion, agreeing to give them 14s. His Honour--But what good could it do ? Plaintiff—Oh ! it attracts peoples's attention to the shop. His Honour—l think a great deal more attention would be attracted if defendant had put a large card outside his shop, notifying that for the first week all the tripe would be given away. (Laughter.) Defendant—No doubt it would for that week. (Renewed laughter.) Plaintiff —I sent the four mon at six o'clock in the even ing, and went myself at seven, at which time the doors were closed. I knocked at the door, and defendant came to answer it. He informed me that he should not require our services, as he did not intend to open the shop, and I could then see that he had nothing in it. I had a good many engagements that night in Hackney, and could not attend them. His Honour—ls Hackney such a musical place ? Plaintiff— Oh, very. They always have music when they open the shops. Defendant admitted that he was not prepared to open his shop, but contended that plaintiff was not entitled to recover as he did not come himself at the appointed time Plaintiff—My band was there and they could have gone on without me. _ . — His Honour did not think plaintiff ought to recover the full amount. If ho had gone to the tripe shop himself at the appointed time, he would have found out that his band would not be wanted, and would have been able to have fulfilled one of his other engagements. His Honour con sidered that Bs. would be enough. Verdict for the plaintiff for Bs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO CARMEN AND OTHERS.—George Woohidge, a carter, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Hale, a contractor, of Brentford, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer a. charge of cruelty to a horse. Mr. William Love attended on behalf of the RoyaltSociety for the Preventfon of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. James Wilkins, of No. 40, Belgrave-square, while walking up Piccadilly. on Saturday, the 17th ult., :saw the defendant driving two horses, attached to a waggon -load of manure. The defendant tried to back one of the horses —the wheel horse—and because it would not do so, he struck it several times over the eyes and face, first with one end of the whip and then with the other, the horse show ing marks of severe violence. Police-constable 30 C said that he found several marks on tho horse's face, showing that he had been illused, and, on asking the defendant why he had ill-used the horse, he replied that it was not fit to be used ; but the horse was a very good one. The defendant said the horse was a good one, but would not back. Mr. Knox said the defendant coal not, because a horse would not back, be permitted to ill-use it, and he should fine him 20s. and coats. WESTMINSTER DISORDERLY CASUALS.—George Stratton, a miserable looking fellow, was charged with tearing up his clothes in the casual ward of St. Margaret's Workhouse. Thomas Waterman, labour master of the casual ward at St. Margaret's Workhouse, Westminster, said the defend ant was admitted between 7 and 8 o'clock on the previous evening, and having had his supper was sent to bed. In the morning he went to call the paupers, and defendant could not get up as he had no clothes. Upon being asked where they were, he said they were torn up, and witness found them on the floor in pieces as large as his hand. Defendant said his clothes were filthy and regged, and not fit to walk about the streets in. Mr. Arnold, having been informed that this system was much practised at the workhouse, and that a fortnight ago a batch of paupers were similarly charged, sentenced the defendant to 14 days' hard labour. Thomas Jones, a strong healthy follow, was charged with refusing to work. Waterman proved that the defendant had bed, supper, and breakfast, and was ordered before breakfast to'break some stones, which occupied about an hour. The other men broke theirs and went out after breakfast, but defend ant did not finish his, and was set to work again after breakfast, but did not break them, and having teen found twice standing up, with his hands in his pockets, was taken to the station. _ _ Defendant said he could not afford to pay for a lodging, and was obliged to sleep in the union. He broke some stones, and then wanted to go out and get a day's work, else he should have to sleep in the workhouse again.

At night, however, the wind was blowing fresh from the north-west, and was inclined to be stormy. Great anxiety prevails on the Tyne with regard to the long detention of collier vessels on their return voyage from the Baltic, as there is danget that they may be frozen in for the winter.—Newcastle Chronicle. the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 155; per:cent.. and the pilee of gold t 421 per cent. At these rates there is no pcolit on the tin portattou of gold from the Unite 4 States. ROBBERIES BY A BOY.—John Grinstead was brought be fore Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing lid. from Messrs. Owen and Merton, soapmakers, Millwall, Poplar. Mr. Chas. Young, solicitor, said the amount the prisoner was charged with stealing was small, but there was an im portant principle involved in the case. The boy was 15 years of age, and had been employed in the prosecutor's factory at ss. per week. There was no moral doubt he had committed several robberies, and unfortunately suspicion was directed against honest and trustworthy persons in stead of the real culprit. The prosecutors did not move in this affair because of the small sum traced to the boy, but to deter other lads in their employ, and . to check Grinstead in his course of dishonesty while young. Evidence was given that the two senior clerks in the esta blishment had lost £2 and £1 respectively, and that the prisoner was a bad boy at home, and gave much trouble. He was an inveterate smoker, and on Saturday, Nov. 24, he gave ls. 6d. for a new pipe. He indulged in other ex travagances. One night he told another youth named Thomas Morgan, in the service of the prosecutors, 'Who saw him with 16s. in his possession, that it was given to him by one of the clerks for safe custody. This turned out to be a falsehood. On the evening of the 28th ult., Mr. Bennett, a clerk, put a cash-box containing post age-stamps and some halfpence into the safe, which he locked up with the usual fastenings and tested it to ascer tain if it was secure, as did also a fellow-clerk named Lancaster. Mr. Bennett directed the prisoner to take the key to the house of Mr. Berry, the foreman. Before leav ing Mr. Lancaster asked the prisoner if he had deposited the key with Mr. Berry, to which he replied in the affirma tive. Mr. Reynolds, the night foreman, was induced to watch Grinstead, who had been left in the office to sweep it, and he was surprised to find the safe door open. He communicated the factto a Mr. Rogers, who took the cash box out of the safe, recounted the halfpence and disco vered a deficiency of three halfpence. Thomas Morgan, a lad, said he was e,ngaged with the prisoner in sweeping out the office, and saw him go to the safe and open it. HO heard the jingling of money. The prisoner offered him 3d. not to say he had been at the safe. The prisoner deposited the money he had taken out of the cash-box in his boot. Mr. Partridge said the boy was 15 years of age, and he should dispose of the case under the juvenile offenders' act. The prisoner was a very wicked and dangerous boy, and he sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE JAVA. LIVERPOOL, Friday. The royal mail steam-ship Java, from Halifax and Boston, arrived here to-day with 135 passen gers. She did not go to Queenstown owing to a heavy gale. She passed the Africa, hence to Bos ton, on the 22d November. NEW YORK, Nov. 20, Evening. The New York Herald's Washington correspon dent says that General Sherman will not actively participate in, but merely watch, the progress of Mexican affairs. A Washington despatch says that nothing will be done by the Government in the cases of the con victed Fenians until the action of the British Go vernment is known. A Toronto despatch of the 19th says :—" A large number of Fenian prisoners, discharged this morn ing, have been taken in a special train of the Great Western Railway to the Suspension-bridge by a guard of 20 men. Before leaving the gaol they took a hearty leave of the gaol officials, thank ing them for the kindness which had been shown them during their stay. On their arrival at the bridge they received $5 each in American money from the Deputy-Sheriff to carry them home. On their arrival on the American side they gave three rousing cheers for the American Government and the Fenian Brotherhood in America. A company of hussars left this morning for Fort Erie to patrol the" river in that vicinity. They will be imtne di ately reinforced by a regiment of infantry. The Queen's Own refuses to do duty if the Fenian pri soners are not hanged. Great excitement exists among them. Their officers, at a meeting on Saturday, were hissed while explaining the position of the Government. It is feared that they will at tempt to lynch the prisoners." A Washington telegram says that the United States Government has not received a direct reply from the British Cabinet to the last communication of the Secretary of State demanding the immediate settlement of the Alabama claims. A Boston journal :states that Air. Slidell recently applied for pardon, and that the American Govern ment replied that no intercourse whatever could be held with him. _ _ _ Victoria advices, via San Francisco, published in the New York papers, assert that the question of annexation to the United States was under discus sion. The Victoria Telegraph contained the follow ing :—" England gives us no assistance, and saddles us with a cumbrous form of government against our wishes. The Federal authorities spend a hundred thousand of dollars every year on their territories and ask the inhabitants to make but little outlay. In consequence of its infancy every British colony is devoted to chronic discontent. In the United States territories scarcely a remonstrance is heard. Our country is killed by extravagant men at the head of affairs, while other countries steadily pro gress under the management of the people." MOBILE, Nov. 21. The receipts of cotton at all United States ports since September are 330,000 bales against 450,000 during the same period last year. The week's exports from Mobile and New Orleans amount to 13,000 bales, chiefly for England. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day Market opens rather steady. Sales probably about 10,000 bales. Mr. Henry Vincent gave allecture to a large audience at the Cooper Institute, New York, on the even ing of the 16th.

General Stuart's Raid Round M'Clellan's Army. Colonel VON BORCICE'S " Memoirs of the Con federate War for Independence" have just been republished from the pages of Blackwood's Magazine, and recall some of the most striking scenes of the great American contest. Although we have, poli tically, no sympathy with the side into which that gallant and skilful officer threw the weight of his sword, we sympathise with the love of adventure, the earnest and dashing manner in which he pur sued the profession of arms to which he had devoted himself, and even with the strong bias and true faith with which he cast in his lot with the noble cavalry, and that great officer who so worthily commanded them, J. E. B. STUART. HEnOS VON BORCKE is in heart and soul a soldier. He has the instincts and feelings, the physical frame and natural cou rage, which go to make up a cavalry leader. His narrative is simple and graphic, partaking of the earnestness and energy of his character. He writes as a partisan, as every soldier recounting his own adventures can scarcely refrain from doing. But there is no bitterness in his dislike of the Yankee enemy, as he calls the Federal army. Ile is a Prussian, and when first he reached Richmond he could scarcely speak English. It was not his country that was invaded —it was not the homes of his youth that were being desolated by war—•it was not the companions of his childhood that were falling on all sides around him. He came on the scene as a stranger ; he soon showed himself to be the good and trusty soldier he was ; the keen eye of General STUART quickly detected his merit, and rapid promotion and warm friends were the quick results of his services to the Confederate cause. The Colonel was most fortunate in the time of his arrival at Richmond, and circumstances befriended him in a singular degree. Not only did he arrive on the eve of exploits which have shed over the Confederate army an undying renown, but by a happy chance he was placed on the Staff of the great Confederate cavalry leader, who was so mainly instrumental in obtaining the results the Prussian officer so well describes. The world is always sooner captivated by a dashing cavalry ex ploit than by a more dull but substantial success, more taken by the showy and picturesque than by the sober and laborious performance. The sym pathies of the young have ever been with RUPERT'S cavaliers against CROMWELL'S Ironsides ; a MURAT excites an admiration that the solid qualities of a more able general W3uld have exerted in vain to attain. Thus when the news of General STUART'S great cavalry exploit reached Europe it ex cited a burst of applause throughout all circles, whether military or civil—whether for or against the Confederacy. Our author tells how the idea was suggested to the General's mind. It was getting dark when the General dismissed his escort at the last of the outposts of the Confederate army. His Prussian " aide" alone accompanied him through the deep gloom of the lonely forest, as they penetrated into the great camp occupied by M'CLELLAN's army of 150,000 men. After riding for five miles they reached a small house which was opened to General STUART'S knock. There they waited till midnight for the expected spy. Morn was breaking when the General pushed on two miles further, where, in the spy's own house, he had the desired interview, the man being sick in bed. The dark night and the heavy rain favoured the enter prise, and they returned in safety to their lines. The result of the information the General then obtained came out almost immediately after, and on June 12, 1862, STUART, with his 2,500 troopers, started on his celebrated ride. None, save the Colonels commanding, knew where they were going, but they followed in confidence their trusted leader. All that day they marched without halting, and when the next day dawned resumed their onward movement. Then they began to feel the enemy in their front, and cavalry skir mishing became frequent. These affairs grew heavier, as the enemy's patrols were pushed back on their camp, ending in a hard fight, when the Federals were driven in confusion through their camp, and far into the woods. The half-starved Southerners found themselves in the midst of luxury ; but moments were precious, to STUART, and the spoils were given to the flames, while his destroying legions passed on, leaving a broad trail of blood and fire to mark the track they had taken. At one point the enemy's encampment lay around them on all sides, and the house occupied by APCLELLAN— surrounded by a wide field of tents—was visible at a distance of about two and a half miles. So quiet were STUART'S movements, so daring his plans, that the Federal army was puzzled and paralysed. On went SruAnT picking up prisoners, and revelling in dainties captured on their way to the Federal chief. An entire train of stores was committed to the flames, and three transport ships laden with pro visions added to the conflagration. In vain a bri gade of the enemy's cavalry attempted to check the destructive progress of the raiders ; they were broken by the impetuous onset, and WCIELLAN'S troops, moving in all directions to intercept the Con federate squadrons, came but in time to see the wild havoc they had caused. Towards evening on that celebrated day they reached the point they aimed at —the railroad connecting the Federal army with their base of operations. As they came on the line a train of carriages, filled with Federal soldiers, was slowly moving up. General STUART posted me n on each side of the embankment to stop the train, or fire. The engine driver acted as became a gallant Northerner. He met the threat by increasing his speed, and died by a Confederate bullet. A strange battle followed. The train rushed on, but not faster than the Confederate troopers, who rode.odis Thecharged their carbines into the carriages as they Federal soldiers, penned in the carriages, offered a fatal mark, but many of them gallantly maintained the .

The unbridged and impassable river was before them, and a division of the enemy mov ing swiftly up behind them, but STUART was equal to the occasion. Two frail bridges were thrown across with surprising speed, and while the bridges were being formed, the horses were unsaddled and swam across the torrent. Colonel s elf . his manner, I ufour ho t u o r o s k t h s e ix sixty- e fi o v n e d horses brid V. g O e N in t vrovßaseorecohciKm.Ei:, pleted, and the horse artillery guns conveyed to the other side. Five hundred prisoners, besides hundreds of captured horses and mules, were landed on the right bank, and when the whole force had crossed the bridges were destroyed, and the angry flood became an effectual barrier between them and their pursuers. On the morning of the 15th they reached their lines, and bivouacked about six miles from Richmond, having remained almost uninterruptedly in the saddle, diversifying the ride by fighting, drinking, burning, an d battling, and smoking General WCLELLA. - s's ci g ars. It was a brilliant exploit, and General STUART'S name will be associated with this raid as long as the history of the war lasts. STUART, however, had other objects than mere destruction. He obtained a complete knowledge of WCLELLAN'S position, and t he Generals of the Confederate Army did not sleep long on plans. In eleven days after his return STONEWALL JACK SON'S array reached the Federal flank, and the series of great operations commenced, which rolled up one of the most powerful armies ever brought into the field, and threw it back from its position with a narrow escape from destruction to the shelter o f an impregnable post on the James River. A Confederate soldier may well revel, in recalling these scenes of Confederate glory, ere the bright dawn of success closed in so dark a nightof disaster. We wish, in recounting the mighty events of the war fairly and without bias, to record our criticisms, and we will consider in a future number the series of actions by which the onward march to Richmond was frustrated, and the able Confederate leader foiled. —Anglo.

THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION, The following appeared in our Third Edition Gf yester. day evening :-- TO THE EDITOR OE THE SUN. you kindly favour the committee for conduct- , ing the above important demonstration, by calling the at tention of the secretaries and members of the various tem perance societies in and near the metropolis to the great importance of the teetotalers joining in the procession. They should bring their flags, banners, regalia, and bands of music, as they did with so much effect in the Garibal dian demonstration. The public meeting is to take place at the Beaufort House Rifle Grounds, Old Brompton, through the kindness of the proprietor, Lord Ranelagh, on 3fonday next. It is to be hoped that all who can attend will do 'so. At the present time, as far as can be conjectured, at least from 75,000 to 100,000 persons will walk in the pro cession, but the probabilities are there will be many more ; therefore, no time should be lost by the committees of temperance societies in making the necessary arrange ments, so as to ensure a good place in the procession, and that the demonstratien may prove to be a great success. By attending by thousands and ten of thousands they will show that the teetotallers of London are not supine or apathetic in the great cause of Parliamentary Reform. Tickets to defray the expenses of the demonstration may be had at twopence each on application to any of thn members of the committee, or at the office of the Working Men's Association, 10, Bolt-court, Fleet-street; where the Organisation Committee sit daily from 10 a.m, to 10 p.m. Tickets already issued for Ashburnham Grounds are available for Beaufort House Rifle Grounds, Old Bromp ton.—Yours obediently, GEORGE POTTER, Chairman. ROBERT HARTWELL, Secretary to the Demonstration. JOHN ROBERT TAYLOR, President of the East Central Temperance Association. Committee Room,_ 10, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, E . O . Nov. 28, 1866. Mr. G. Potter, the chairman of the Demonstra tion Committee, waited, by appointment, on Sir IL Mayne to submit the preliminary programme pre.. pared by the committee, and to give and receive suggestions thereon. • The Chief Commissioner, who was accompanied by Captain Harris, went carefully over the pro gramme with Messrs. Potter and Hartwell, and some important alterations were agreed upon with refe rence to the formation of the procession in St. James's Park. Instead of the Mall only, the procession will be allowed to occupy the Birdcage-walk and thq sweep round from the Duke of York's steps to Story's Gate. This will give much greater facilities to the marshals in forming the procession, and enable the men to get off the ground at least one hour earlier. The procession, en route, will keep the left hand side of the road. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT TEE LICENSED VIC MALLERS' ASYLUM. The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the " Smalley Wing" of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum took place this day, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh having consented to officiate on the occasion. A spacious marquee, beautifully decorated, was erected, and a very large company, mostly ladies, assembled to witness the in teresting proceedings. On the arrival of his Royal High ness at the Asylum he was received by the governor and committee and conducted to the dais, in the centre of which the stone, which formed one of the principal features of the ceremony, was suspended. The Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and a number of the Common Council were also present. The cheering which greeted his Royal Highness's appearance having subsided the stone was laid with all due honours, his Royal Highness having placed in a cavity beneath it the coins of the realm, together with corn, oil, and wine. Mr. Smalley, the munificent contributor to the Asylum, then read to his Royal Highness a congratulatory address. His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows :—Gentlemen I thank you for your address, containing as it does such warm expressions of loyalty and attachment to the Queen's throne and person, which I shall not fail to lay before her Majesty. I thank you especially for the kind feeling towards myself which you have evinced, and for the warm manner in which you have received me to-day. I need scarcely say how gladly I accepted your invitation to take part in this ceremony, prompted as I am in the de sire, entertained by all the royal family, to further, by their presence and support, the interests of all institutions which, like this asylum, tend to alleviate suffering and distress. (Cheers.) It only remains for mo now to wish every success to the institution which is so fitly to bear the name of its munificent founder, and the first stone of which I have had so much pleasure in laying this morning. The band in attendance then struck up the National Anthem, and his Royal Highness then retired amidst the cheers of the vast assemblage. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT CHA.THAN.
