The rates c on ti nue the same as yesterday, 6i 7 per cent., for the best commercial bills at three months' date. There is, however, no difficulty in obtaining either loans or discounts at the current rates, and it is not improbable that the terms will soon show an easier tendency. At the Bank, yesterday, £26,000 in gold was received, and 10,000 sovereigns withdrawn for ship ment to Alexandria. The directors of the Asiatic Banking Corporation have declared an interim dividend for the half-year ending the 30th June last, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, on the original shares, payable on and after the 13th inst. The share list of the United Finance, Mortgage, Investment Company closed yesterday for the first issue of 10,000 (£10) shares. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have again been on a rather exten sive scale. • The imports, owing to arrivals from America, Australia, and the Continent, have amounted to about £413,627, while the exports have been to the extent of £344,314, the greater portion of which has been despatched in gold to the Brazils. It is stated that Messrs. Lawrie and Young have resigned their seats at the board of the English Joint -Stock Bank, on its commencement of a London business by the amalgamation with Messrs. Olding, Osborne, and Co., in consequence Of their being directors of another London bank, viz., the City Bank. The Port Phillip Gold Company have received to-clay a remittance of £2,000, and the advices show a profit for August of over £4,000, of which two-thirds belong to the shareholders. The Sep tember return shows an increase in yield of gold over August of 19 grains per ton. Two O'CLOCK.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT FOR. THE CONSIDERATION •OF CROWN CASES RESERVED. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Pigott, and Justices Welles, Shoe, and Smith.) . IN RE HENRY REDMOND. ' In this case the prisoner was convicted of having endea voured to extort money by threats, and the case was heard at the last Chester Assizes before Mr. Justice Willes. It appears that the prisoner accused the Son of a party resident in the neighbourhood with the commission of a very serious offence, which on being heard proved to be utterly groundless. Pending the trial of the boy coming on, the prisoner went to his father and demanded £3, threaten ing in the event of a refusal to proceed with the charge. It was for this offence that the prisoner was indicted under the provisions of the Criminal Statute, which rendered it penal to threaten an accused person, or any other person, with a certain class of offences, including the special one in 41} I question. 129 148} Counsel having been heard, the Court confirmed the verdict. 1221 i 88. 104} THE QUEEN V. W. TAYLOR. This was an appeal from the finding of a jury at the Bury Assizes of 4th July last. The appellant was indicted of having been guilty of maliciously injuring a threshing machine by re versing the plug and shifting the position of the machine, which, if not discovered promptly, would have led to the bursting of the boiler. It took two horses to render the machine serviceable, and it was held by the learned judge at the trial that the conduct of the defendant came within the meaning of the statute, and the jury according.y found him guilty. A point was reserved as to whether the pri soner's act came within the provisions of the statute. Mr. Mills appeared this day, and contended that unless there was some removal or actual injury to the parts of the machine, it could not be construed into an offence within the meaning of the act. 1241 i I 961 7 6k 59k 137 61 5 it 1251 5 in i no} f 10 E 9 1031 Tha Chief Baron, without hearing counsel on the other side, decided against the appeal, and the finding of the jury was accordingly affirmed. 74 4 COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) BATES V. BATES. This was a suit by the wife for judicial separation 'tin the ground . of cruelty, to which there was no appearance. Mr. Openheim stated the case. The parties were mar ried in 1843, at Chertsey, Surrey, and there were eight children, issue of the marriage. The cohabitation continued in different parts of L2ndon and the suburbs, and until 1861 the parties lived happily. In that year, however, the respondent becaMe addicted to intemperance, and commenced a course of the most brutal ill-treatment. He was in the habit of striking her with his fist and a stick, using most filthy language in the presence of his children, and had been bound over twice to keep the peace, and had also been sentenced to six months' imprisonment foi ill-treatment of the petitioner. On his liberation he again renewed that ill treatment, and in 1864 turned the petitioner out of the house, and they had not since lived together. 74 9 84 1 1C4i 251 The petitioner, a medical man, and one of the daughters were examined, and fully confirmed the statement of the learned counsel. It was also proved that on one occasion the respondent brought a prostitute into the house. The Court made the decree for judicial separation. 57 8 COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. THE NEW COMMISSIONER. Mr. Commissioner Winslow, having boon sworn in yos terday (Friday), took his seat this morning after an absence of five days. The list of cases was but a small one, not withstanding the arrears of business in the various Courts. As a singular instance of the very ceremonious manner in which the matters connected with this Court are managed, it may be mentioned that hitherto Mr. Commissioner Winslow has sat in a Court, upon the door of which was painted the name of Mr. Commissioner Fane, and although that learned gentleman was dead the name was kept up, not withstanding that Mr. Winslow sat for the late Mr. Commis sioner Fonblanque. This morning, the name of "Fane" was obliterated, and that of " Winslow" substituted. His Honour sat in his private room and took three or four applications of a formal character ; and although there was a full attendance of the bar, no address was presented by any of its members, although the now commissioner is very popular at this court.

The Cattle Disease and Turkish Baths. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Rookery Farm, Dorking, Surrey. SIR,—As you have done so much to bring for ward the beneficial results that may be expected from heat, not only to the human race, but also to animals, I write to tell you of one of the incidents which prove how the result has been found at times, and disappeared again. A few days ago a lady of my acquaintance was travelling on the South-Western Railway. A lady and gentleman were in the carriage, and in a short time their conversation turned on the cattle disease. They both came to the conclusion that all veteri nary remedies had proved useless, and in speaking over what might be done, the lady related that many years ago she remembered a cattle plague in Switzerland, and that the only thing that was found an effective cure was a sort of lamp bath, the animal being covered with blankets and the heat supplied by a spirit lamp. If this was found to be a cure, how much more effective must the Turkish bath prove? All directions for the construction of these baths (by no means expensive) are to be found in fly-sheets, which have been published for the purpose, at the Hammam, in Jermyn-street, and also others relating to the effect in cholera and the present cattle disease. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, R. Poor.E. November 10th, 1865. Delaying a Railway Passenger, At the Manchester County Court on Thursday, in the case of " Warburton against the London and North Western Railway Company," adjourned from a previous sitting, an important point was raised as to the liability of railway companies for delay in the conveyance of passengers. The plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Warburton, is a contractor, residing at Harphurhey. At 11.30 on the night of the 23d of August he took an excursion for three days from Manchester to London and back. The train did not arrive at Crewe until after the train for London had left, and he had to remain at an hotel until 5 o'clock next morning, and did not arrive in London until 10 o'clock. This detention rendered him un able to fulfil an appointment which he had made to meet a person on business that morning at 8 o'clock at the Isle of Dogs, and he was obliged to remain an extra day in town, for which he claimed five guineas and other expenses, amounting alto gether appeared f i o 6 r d l9 e f s e . d A a l n r s e . o J n o t r e d n a d n e , barrister, d that the com pany o o m pany were not liable. He said this was a very import ant case both for railway companies and the public in general. There were two questions arising out of it. The first was whether a printed condition in the time-bills, and referred to on the tickets, did not exempt railway companies from such claims as this. The particular part of the conditions to which he would direct the attention of the court, as set forth on the time-bill produced, was as follows :—" The directors give notice that the company do not under take that the trains shall start or arrive at the times specified in the bills ; nor will they be accountable for any loss, inconvenience, or injury which may arise from delay or detention." This condition being referred to on the ticket, and plainly set forth on the time-bills, was a contract binding upon the plaintiff, who must therefore be nonsuited. It was a remark able fact this point had never been definitely settled until recently by the superior courts, notwithstand ing the great number of railway cases that had been decided during the last 30 years. In a case re ported in the Law Journal for October, page 31, and in the " Common Pleas," page 246, " Hurst v. Great Western Railway Company," Mr. Justice Montague Smith expressed an opinion that a con dition similar to that in the present case was bind ing upon the plaintiff. The same point was raised during the present week in the same court in the case of " Prevast v. the Great Eastern Railway Company," and Lord Chief Justice Erle held that the condition was binding and that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. His Honour said that under the Railway Traffic Act a judge had power to decide whether certain conditions were reasonable or not. Mr. Jordan said that only ap plied to the transit of gOods, and not to passengers, and the delay in this case was unavoidable, for the train was compelled to wait for the mails. His Honour—Do you mean that the company can say that they will not be responsible for any inconve nience at all that may arise from detention : for instance, if a person is kept a whole day between Manchester and London, and put to great inconve nience, is the condition you mention to excuse the company altogether, however gross their negligence may have been ? Mr. Jordan—l say it does. It is no matter where the delay takes place, whether it be at starting, during the journey, or near the end of it, this condition is part of the contract as be tween the company and the passenger, and it is only. reasonable that it should be enforced, because the question of reasonable or unreasonable delay does not arise. The Judge—l think it does. The first question is, whether the company are not bound to put down the passenger in London at the very time mentioned in the bills. I think they are not. But another question arises—Do they not contract to carry within a reasonable time, and, if so, may I not conclude that a reasonable time is that which is mentioned in their own bills ? On that point I am against you ; but there is a third question as to the right of the company to put a condition in their time-bills which will exempt them from liability to any passenger, however great the loss or inconveni ence occasioned by their neglect may be. Mr. Jor dan said the argument as to the liability to carry within a reasonable time might hold good at com mon law ; .but this, he submitted, was a special con tract which exempted the company from liability. The second point was this—supposing the company were liable for breach of contract, ought the plain tiff to be entitled to claim five guineas for the loss of a day's time ? The rule laid down in Sedgwick for damages would apply to the present case—viz., all losses which might fairly be considered as having been in the contemplation of the parties at the time the agreement was entered into ; but it surely could not have been contemplated by the company that the plaintiff had an engagement at the Isle of Dogs, which their delay would cause him to break. Mr. Jordan further submitted that the plaintiff had not lost a day as alleged, for he admitted that he arrived in London at 10 o'clock in the morning. His Honour agreed that tho plaintiff could not claim on the ground of having broken an engagment at the Isle of Dogs ; but he might get damages in another way by suing upon the breach of contract to carry within a reasonable time. However, as the case was one of great importance, he should not decide upon it then, but would take time to consider his judgment.—Manchester Courier. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE THREE CARD TRICK—CAUTION TO FOREIGNERS.— Two foreigners waited upon the magistrate this morning to complain that they had bean victimised by a gang of cardsharpers out of £24 and .£6 respectively. One of the prisoners stated that he was met by a man who, after in viting him to take some wine at a public-house, got in company of some other men, who introduced what they called the "broards " or "three card trick," and then their money was taken away. Sergeant Freeman said he had heard of other cases in which foreigners had been victimised lately in a similar manner, and he had every reason to believe by the same gang, foreigners the more easily falling into the traps set for them in consequence of one of the gang speaking dif ferent languages. A warrant was granted. THAMES. A VERY SAD CASE.—Hannah Drummond, aged 51 years, was brought up on a warrant before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting her husband, Thomas Drum mond, a lighterman and waternaan, of No. 23, Burr-street, Lower East Smithfield. The prisoner was labouring under delirium tremens. She was obliged to cling to the dock for support, and was in a very alarming condition. She is the second wife of the prosecutor, a respectable man, who married her two years ago. She had been intoxicated 14 months out of the 24, and her excesses had been frightful. She had spent large sums of money in the indulgence of strong drinks, nearly, ruined her husband's prospects, and put his life in danger. She was before a magistrate some time ago for violently assaulting her husband, and at his intercession was allowed to go at large on her own recog nisances to keep the peace. This was of no avail. She soon broke out again. On the 31st of last month she was inebriated and attacked her husband. Sho scratched him, kicked him, and attempted to use dangerous weapons and kill him. He obtained assistance and held her hands. His life was not safe. A summons was obtained against the prisoner, to which she would not appear, and a warrant for her arrest was granted and acted upon. Hugh Andrews, a police-constable, 62 H, said the pri soner was half mad, in a drunken state. Last night four great Irishmen were put into her cell to prevent her doing harm to herself. This morning she was raving mad, and 1 has now relapsed into delirium tremens. Mrs. Ann Sheffield, a married woman, the daughter of the prosecutor, said the prisoner was her stepmother. She bore her no enmity and was anxious for her welfare. She feared that unless her stepmother was under restraint murder would be committed. Her stepmother had violated her own recognizances to keep the peace. The Prisoner—Oh forgive me, your worship. I will go home and be a teetotaller for the rest of my life. Mr. Partridge—You can't be depended upon. This is a sad case. You have ruined yourself and your husband by your shocking indulgence in the use of intoxicating liquors. You must find two good sureties in the sum of £l5 each to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for three months. The prisoner was removed in, custody. WESTMINSTER. AN UNNATURAL Sox.—Henry Flowers, a big hulking fellow, 22 years of age, was this day brought to the court on a warrant, by Knowland, one of the summoning officers, charged with using threats to his father, whereby he ap prehended bodily danger. Thomas Flowers, a decrepid old man, 76 years of age, stated that his son would not do any work, and came in at all hours of the night, broke the ttings, knocked both him and his mother and sister about, threatened to take their lives, and ho wanted to get rid of him. Only this morning he knocked his poor old mother down with his fist. Mr. Belie —Well, what have you to say to this ? Defendant (sulkily)—He doesn't keep me. He's not done any work for seven years. Mr. Selfe—What do you say to knocking your mother down ? Defendant—l didn't, and she'll deny it. The Tather—Yes, you did, and called her a ♦ery bad name. Knowland having proved the apprehension, said that the mother was washing, Mr. Selfe directed her to be sent for, and on her appear ance she stated, in answer to Mr. Selfe's inquiries, that all the father had said was true. He did as he liked in the house, was always threatening his father, and had knocked him about. He also beat his sister, and when she inter fered he knocked her down, and had done so this morning. Mr. Selfe (to defendant)—Well, what have you to say now ? What right have you to sponge upon your poor old father and mother instead of keeping them ? You are a great scamp, and I have a great mind to send you to prison. Defendant whined out something about it being all right when he brought money home, but when he did not his father knocked him about, and had struck him with a poker the other day. Both the, old people denied this, and the mother said her husband was too much of an invalid to do it. Mr. Selfe ordered the defendant to come up for judgment when called upon, and warned him that if he were brought there again he would be convicted of the assault on his mother. Dreadful Fire in the Hampstead-road., Abeut 4 o'clock this morning an alarming fire broke out in St. Mary's-place, Hampstead-road. After some time the fire brigade succeeded in extinguishing the flames. A woman was found among the ruins, shockingly injured, having had her logs nearly burned off. She was taken to the University College Hospital, where she remains, with hope of recovery, - _ Anak the King of Men.

COMMISSIONER FONBLANQUE'S SUCCESSOR.._ Ir, Registrar Winslow has been appointed to the office of Commissioner in Bankruptcy, vacated by the death of Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque. A fitter man could not have been found, and he has, in fact, discharged all the duties during the three years' illness of his predecessor. From the appointment we gather that Lord Cranworth, at least, does not anticipate success for the scheme said to be pre paring for the abolition of bankruptcy. —The Law Times of to-clay. NOVEL USE -OF. PHOTOGRAPHY.—The guardians of the Settle Union having received by post about a dozen applications, in reply to an advertisement for a school mistress at the workhouse, appointed a committee of their number to examine the testimonials of the applicants. The testimonials of the two who seemed most likely to suit were so nearly equal that the committee were unable to decide between them. Regardful of the pockets of the ratepayers, the committee hit upon the novel expedient of sending for the photographs of the rival applicants, and thus saving the expense of the railway fares, which a per sonal application would have involved. After the due ar rival and inspection of the portraits, the choice fell upon Miss Millet, of the Orby School, Kitchen. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—FRIDAY.

On taking their places at the post several of the light weights indulged themselves with an extemporaneous can ter, which delayed the start. Upon the flag being lowered at 330 the lot left the post in company, but scarcely had they run a dozen strides when Elland with Sidewind were seen in advance, but, Sopp taking a pull at the former, in making for the far side he was headed by Sidewind. The latter entered the back stretch slightly in advance of Helen, who came up on the whip-hated, the favourite lying third, in company of Buckfoot and Holstein ; to these succeeded Moldavia, Bendigo, Accident,Windhanl, Joco, John Davis, and Farce in a body, the extreme rear being brought up by Master Richard, Nu, Jupiter, and Blithfield. At the mile post Helen took a clear le l ad, and carried on the running to half-way in the bottom, when she suddenly dropped back, leaving Lord Westmoreland's filly once more in advance, the favourite lying wide on her right, followed by Bendigo, Joco, Holstein, Farce, and Windham. On fairly entering the straight the latter ran into the third position, and waited upon the two leaders to the distance, where Side , wind was beaten, leaving Elland in possession of the lead ; 'tills he retained to half-way, when Challoner brought up his horse, and when about making his effort Sopp used his whip, which sent Elland against Capt. Gray's horse, and, in so doing, completely destroyed his chance. Mr. Jackson's colt won very easily by a couple of lengths ; twice that dis tance separated the second and third, Joco finishing fourth, a length in their rear ; Master 'Richard was fifth, Bendigo sixth, Holstein and Farce next ; the others, who were pull ing up, being whipped-in by Helen, Blithfield, Moldavia, and Minnette, who did not pass the pest. Challoner, on re turning to scale, complained of a foul on the part of the rider of Elland, which was subsequently investigated by Lord Sefton and Lord Poulett, who gave their award in favour of the winner.

EGYPTIAN HALL.—Chang, the famous Chinese giant, was again, the other evening, honoured with the presence of royalty in the person of H.R.H. Prince Arthur and suite. Chang, who stands 7ft. Bin., is in him self not only a mighty host, but at the same time a most gentlemanly personage, chin-chinning his patrons with the polished grace of a nabob. " King Foo," Chang's wife, with her beautifully-braided hair, crushed feet, and bro ca led silken robes, is at once the admiration of the ladies. " Chung Mow," the Tartar dwarf, who is 30in. in height, is a most humoursome personage, singing and reciting to the delight of his hearers. The hall is replete with beauti ful specimens of Celestial works of art, &c. A lecture on things Chinese is given by Mr. Siddons, whilst Mr. M Chisholm discourses some eloquent music, arranged by himself, from native airs on the grand piano. TRIALS OF NEW LlFEBOATS.—Yesterday after noon some harbour-trials were made with five new lifeboats, under the superintendence of the officers of the Naticrial Lifeboat Institution, in the Regent's Canal, Dock, Limehouse. There were also present a number of the friends of some of the donors of the boats. The trials were in every way satisfactory in regard to the stability, self righting qualities, and self-ejecting of water from the boats. Two of the lifeboats, which are each 32ft. long, rowing ten oars, were built for the French Shipwreck. Society by the Messrs. Forrest. Three others were for stations of the National Lifeboat Institution. One of these boats, 32ft. long, is named the Admiral Fitzroy, and is the gift of a benevolent lady residing at Cheltenham ; this boat is to be stationed at Anstruther, on the Scotch coast. The second boat, which is 30ft. long, was presented to the society by Mrs. Colonel Vernon, and is to be placed at Cemlyn, on the Anglesea coast. The third, which is a splendid boat, is 36ft. long, rows twelve oars, and was the gift to the in stitution of the people of Manchester, through Robert Whitworth, Esq. The boat is to be stationed at Courtown, on the Irish coast, and is the fifth boat presented to the Lifeboat Society by the City of Manchester. The railway companies had readily promised a free conveyance to' the lifeboats of the institution, and the boats were to leave for their respective stations in the early part of the ensuing week. The National Lifeboat Institution has now one hundred and fifty-one lifeboats under its charge, and that number is gradually increasing. How FENIANISM CAN BE PUT DOWN. The arrest of over 200 of the agents of Fenianism in Ireland, and the promptness of the other measures taken by the British Government to suppress the Fenian move ment, indicate that Fenianism has passed the revolutionary stage of its development, and if it survive it will live as a political principle, to be contended for through peaceful channels, at least until its strength is less disproportionate to the work before it than now. But as the suppression of the nullification movement in South Carolina was the prelude to the great rebellion, so the suppression of the present Fenian movement may be the forerunner of one more difficult to grapple with. The results depend partly on the measures the British Government may pursue toward Ireland, and partly on the elements of justice and strength inherent in Fenianism itself. If the British Government will take the same pains to develope manu factures in Ireland as it has in England, thus giving the Irish people the same diversity of industry which England enjoys, instead of confining them to agriculture alone ; if she will extend the suffrage to that nineteen-twentieths of the Irish people who now have no vote, so that Irishmen can rule Ireland, as of right they ought to do, and if she will abolish the Established Church system in Ireland, and if she will reform her tenant laws in the interest of the tenants, which she never will do till the tenants are per mitted to vote, then Fenianism would have few just grounds Of complaint, and, like fire without fuel, would be extinguished.—Chicago Tribune. LEARNING TO SWIM.—The art of swimming, as part of the professional training of the seaman, bas been so largely discussed of late, and its necessity so unani mously acknowledged, that any step taken towards the ac complishment of so useful a measure must naturally be attended with some considerable interest. As the result of inquiries made on the subject, it is a matter of sincere regret to find that no decided steps have been taken by the Admi ralty in the matter beyond the negative countenance they continue to give to the temporary swimming establishment at Portsmouth, which has been open since 1858, under the management of Mr. Tuohy, the . Admiralty Professor of Sword Exercise and Gymnastics to the Royal Naval College and her Majesty's gunnery ship Excel lent. This is the only establishment of the kind Connected in any way with her Majesty's navy. It is but a small temporarily fitted spot, in a re tired corner of the moats of the Gosport town fortifications; but it is a spot capable of being greatly extended, and ren dered, by the outlay of a very small sum of money, all s e t v t e i r o y officer stationed dmade n a ship and p rofi oc m ri e a nb n ta , seaman rirna cskwaitm and and nn ga br soldier, oeonrde P tsili o laffi rt te s m m iean o y u t th b being foer he leaves England again on foreign service, or, indeed before he leaves the port and garrison on any service what ever. The grant of the situation was given in 1858 byMajor- General Foster, R.E., then commanding the Royal En gineers of the south-western district, at the intercession of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, as an eligible piece of water for bathing and teaching the naval cadets on board her Majesty's ship Illustrious to swim. His Royal High ness had served on board the Illustrious, and joined with his brother cadets in swimming bouts at the place. From that date to 1861, when the Britannia (the successor of the Illustrious) was removed from Portsmouth to Dartmouth, 180 naval cadets and 100 novices (as youngsters, about 15 or 16, training for seamen were called in those days) were taught to swim by Mr. Tuohy, and since 1862 200 boys belonging to the training ship St. Vincent have also been turned out of hand expert swimmers. Among others who have earned their diploma under Professor Tuohy's tuition aro 146 young gentlemen from the Rev. E. Burney's Royal Academy, Gosport, the majority of whom have since entered her Majesty's navy as cadets; 120 other young gentlemen, sons of officers of the army or navy ; and 168 ladies, wives and daughters of naval and military officers and of officers of the civil departments of the port and garrison. During the present season 40 non-commissioned officers and men be longing to the Royal Marine Light Infantry of the Ports mouth division were specially selected as being unable to swim a stroke, and handed over to Mr. Tuohy to try his skill on them. They were made proficient swimmers in a very few lessons, being taught in classes of 12 each. The last feat performed this season of any note has been the teaching of four sailor lads belonging to her Majesty's ship Excellent. These lads had been endeavouring to learn under the tuition of a seaman, but no progress whatever could be made with them, and they had been given up as swimless creatures, when the commander sent them with Mr.Tuohy to his Gosport establishment as a last trial. In four lessons of ten minutes each only three lads were taught to swim perfectly, and returned to their ship full of pride and joy at their new-found cleverness and "water-power." Where so much has been done by Mr. Tuohy with a tempo rarily fitted and therefore circumscribed space of fosse and e s s a t l a t b w l i a s wt, , e h n ho w werem u much o m m o o r t e e d m f i g r o h n a t b its a accomplished p i f o r a t h r y e semi-official to a permanent official character, properly ex tended and fitted out as the swimming school of the port and paid garri f s o o r their duties, ditustmierter and staff offici a lly a pp o i nted and SALES WITH A PARLIAMENTARY TITLE.—In the year 1864 there were 344 sales of estates in the Landed Estates Court in Ireland.

OUR LADY NOVELISTS. Jane Austen never departed from her easy, gossipping, lifelike pictures of the upper middle class, abounding in subtle humour, but tame as to sentiment and passion. Miss Bronte was always the same in her forcible descriptions of the gloomy flats of the inner life, whether transacted in a Yorkshire village or in a Brussels boarding-school. Mrs. Gaskell may be recognised without difficulty in the home like truthfulness and quiet fun—most Jane Austen-like which mark her stories, whether of genteel or manufac facturing life, whether or not partaking of the favourite sensational element of the day. " George Elliot," indeed, startled the world by the production of the "Romola"—a tale as dissimilar as possible, both in cha racter and treatment, to the fictions of lower-class life with which her name had before been connected. But, clever as "Romola" was, it was a tour de force, and not in spiration. Jlrs. Oliphant, as it appears to us, possesses a really wider range of power in this department of literature than either of the authoresses mentioned. In her earlier fiction, "Mrs. Margaret Maitland" for instance, she seemed to echo the idyllic strain of Scottish life, familiar to us thirty years ago in the tales of Professor Wilson ; pleasing, but characterised by a certain milk-and-water sentimentality.

AUSTRIA. The Norstadt Zeitung of Vienna states, on what it believes to be good authority, that the loan to be raised by the Austrian Government will be issued directly to the public, without intermediation of any banker. The capital will be 150 million florins (375 millions of francs) ; the rate of emission 62 ; the interest 6 per cent., free from taxation, and the whole to be reimbursed in 15 years. New Zealand. (From the Melbourne Argus of Sept. 25). Major-General Chute left Sydney on Sept. 22, to . assume the command of her Majesty's forces in New Zealand. Pending his arrival, there has been no movement of the troops to record. Tonnage, how ever, has been secured at Auckland for the 65th Regiment, and four other Regiments, it is an nounced, will at once follow this corps home. The Legislature is still in session. Mr. J. E. Fitz gerald, the new Native Minister, a gentleman of wall known pro-Maori tendencies, has declared distinctly the Ministerial policy in reference to the native dif ficulty. The Government propose to issue a pro clamation bringing the war to an absolute conclu sion, and granting a full amnesty for everything that has passed, excepting certain great and noto rious murders. At the same time, the natives will be informed that future outrages will be repressed and prevented, no matter what the cost, and a bill has been introduced, which provides that whenever a crime shall be committed in any district, and the chiefs and residents refuse to aid in the arrest of the perpetrators, the dis trict shall come under the operation of the act, and confiscation, according to the degree of guilt, will follow. Another bill declares that the Maories shall be deemed to be natural-born subjects of her Majesty, and declares also that the jurisdiction of the law courts extends over all her Majesty's subjects in the island. These measures are sure to be passed by the Legislature, but the real ques tion is, will the Government be able to enforce them ? Ministers speak with confidence on this point, and still propose to rely entirely on colonial troops. As an earnest of their intentions, Ministers have despatched a force of 800 of the local troops to occupy Opotiki and the adjacent country on the east coast, where the Rev. Mr. Volkner, and more recently Mr. Falloon and the crew of the Kate, were brutally murdered by the Pai Marire or Hauhau fanatics, as they are now called. News from this expedition is daily expected. In the mean time, a small colonial force, stationed at Warapu, and commanded by Captain Fraser, has already severely punished the fanatics, and the friendly natives, under the chief, Morgail, are reported to have defeated them in a pitched battle, in which the Hauhaus are said to have lost 300 men. Details, however, are not to hand, and in native rumours facts are more than slightly enlarged. The spread of the Hauhau fanaticism is the great difficulty of the situation. Mr. Fitzgerald frankly admits that he does not understand . the movement, nor can he find any man who does. A petition from William Thompson, the Waikato chief, justifying his conduct during the war, and not alluding to his submission, has been presented to the House of Assembly by Mr. Fitzgerald. Some discussion was excited by the tone of the petition, but ultimately it was received. The compensation awards to the Auckland settlers for losses sustained during the war have been pub lished. The European settlers claimed £136,000, and were awarded £71,000 ; and certain Maories claimed £7,400, and were awarded £2,400. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—Thin day.

THE ACCIDENT TO SIR CHARLES WOOD.--We have pleasure in announcing that Sir Charles Wood was yesterday afternoon mueh better than could have been anticipated, considering the somewhat serious nature of the injuries he received while hunting with Lord Hawke's pack at Marr, near Doncaster, as stated in The Sun of yesterday. Mr. Kenyon, of H.ooton Pagnell, who is in attendance upon Sir Charles, has after an examination pronounced his opinion that no serious results will follow, and there is every reason to hope that the right hon. baronet will not be confuted to his room more than a few days. The injury, it is ascertained, is confined to an abrasion of the skin of the head, and to a severe shaking of the whole body, consequent upon the violent contact with the stone wall. The wound upon the head, though only superficial, caused the loss of much blood. The regret in the district at the accident is groat, for Sir Charles Wood is one of the most popular men in the West Riding. The excitement oacasioned is somewhat allayed by the favourable report given by Mr. Kenyon. The inquiries at Mickleton-hall yesterday were very numerous. THE COST OF BEING ASSAULTED. —At the Man chester Police-court on Thursday a soldier named Sherlock was fined 10s., or, in default, committed to pri son for 14 days, for an assault upon Mr. Homer, a pawn broker. Some time after the magistrate's decision, Mr. Horner returned into court and complained that ho had been called upon to pay the costs of the defendant's com mitment. Mr. Fowler, the presiding magistrate, told him that when the complainant in such a case did not pay those costs it was the practice t o di sc harge the defendant fr o m i o i i i i custody. If Mr. Homer felt aggrieved, he mu s t intimating g his complainant in the proper quarter. do what they pleased with the defendant, m e i i. i H might with- rderfeuwsa._liovapncayhetshteercoEsxtas,mainernd. stating tAhtrioCoomunietr THE SKULL OF BEN JONSON.—Iu the course of s a i paperdent of r e t h a ed Bull o w l; e itt e he k arat b rsy y oe D aient r. yd, I ro C nh e l i l b , 0, usior, "The eh e R ee l i a ene Society, ot , cv pe i e r itysi t before the mem of the British Association to Birmingham," the doctor, in speaking he and Dr. Richardson, of L on d on, h birthplace, at Stratford-o n -A von, narratedthe following hrwiec'hs curious incident :—He said that a bl a in d d m g aed f a n e t ° l t e o mSahn visita Pe, who thought that no one but th e gu i de was present, mentioned that a friend of his had a relic which would be a valuable addition to the Shaksperean Museum at that place—the skull of Ben Jonson. This friend had attended the funeral of Dr. --, at Westminster Abbey, w h en h e perceived that the next grave, that of Ben Jonson, had boon opened, and he could see the skeleton of the body in the coffin. He could not resist the opportunity of putting in his hand and extractin g th o s k ull, which he placed under his cloak and thus carried it off. Prom a remark which the blind gentleman dropped Dr. Richardson thought he could identify the offender, and he asked if the person's initials did not consist of certain letters. The blind gentleman, who was not a little startled at finding that his secret was out, admitted the fact, but prayed that no advantage might be taken of the discovery. This was promised ; but, as Dr. Richardson is an ardent admirer of the Avonian bard, he is determined that, without going to extremities, he will bring the necessary pressure to bear on the possessor of the skull, so that it shall be placed in a more worthy repository than the cabinet of an obscure individual. --Manchester Guardian.
