HER MAJESTY. A ----~ only in one or two very exceptional instances, as in that lovely little idyllic trysting ditty-- I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill, I did not hear the brook flow, Its noisy wheel was still. No burr of any grasshopper, No song of any bird, But the beating of my own heart Was all tho sound I heard. Or again, in that sweetest of child lullabies, every verse of w hi c h ends with the singing to the little girl of flower, or loaf, or bird, or but tern Y—good night, gool night ! Known, and ho noured, and apprec i ate d b y a highly-culti vated audience, as among the few gifted min strels of his time, Lord Houghton is entitled to a far wider popularity than any he has hitherto had the opportunity of enjoying. And, towards the attainment of this extended appreciation of his gifts, the issuing from the press of this graceful and, in many ways, bewitching selection from his various Poems, of their choicest portions, cannot fail, as we conceive, to be directly and practically to the pur pose. In any case these two new volumes, or rather v.olumettes, just added to the now fast-exteuditig list of Moxon's Miniature Poets, cannot but be thrice welcome alike to the donors and the recipients of Christmas Gifts —among which seasonable boons none could well be more happily chosen than just such choicest of choice selections as these from Alfred Tenn y s on, Robert Browning, Frederick Locker, Sir Walter Scott, or Richard Lord Houghton. MOXON'S PENNY READINGS. Various contributions to those popular intellec tual entertainments, known now more or less widely through out the United Kingdom as Penny Read ings, have been issued from the press within the last year or two by one or other of our more enterprising Publishers. There is that cheap series, for example, compiled by M r . J. E. Carpenter, and published, if we remember rightly, in as many as five volumes (one shilling each), by Frederick Warne and Com- Pally, of Bedford-stret, Covent-grden. And there is that larger series , a published in a per form (according to the subscriber's pre ference, in either weekly numbers, or monthly parts), the first half-yearly volume of which has only recently been completed, edited by Tom Hood, illustrated, profusely enough, by various artists, and Published by the Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin. Standing quite apart from these, interfering with neither the one nor the other—Moxon's Penny Readings, of which we have already some time since noticed the first volume, possess two conspicuous and distinctive excellencies of their own. They are admirably well selected as a collection of Prose and Verse, now grave, now gay, often lively, never severe; and, besid es this, in the mere printing of them, t hey are as pleasantly legible as can be in the size d clearness of the typography. kl 4 0 ±2. ,A2 4 • WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 28.

MONEY MARKET AND ;OMME.ROIAL INTELLIGg',`“';t TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change in the value of silver or gold, the last parcels to hand having been sold at previous quotations. Annexed are the prices of bullion : Bar gold, 775. 9fd. per oz. standard ; ditto (part ing), 78s. per do. ; doubloons (Spanish), 755. 6d. to 9d. per oz. ; ditto (Mexican and South American), 735. 91 per do. ; UnitedStatcs eagles, 765. 3id. per do. ; bar silver, ss.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. Sugar, however, has fully maintained former values. Coffee continued in good demand, and superior qualities have brought a slight ad vance. In rice, fruit, spices, and tallow the varia tions as regards prices have been unimportant. The public sales of colonial wool during the past week have been well attended by home and foreign buyers, and superior qualities of both Sydney and Cape products have coannanded slightly better prices. The New Honduras Loan is firm at 1 lf prem. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures have risen to 21 28 ; but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 18i 19f. The traffic returns of the Ottoman Railway Com pany for the week ending Nov. 10, 1867, amount to £1,228 4s. 2d. against £9lO 14s. sd. for the cor responding week in the previous year, showing an increase of £317 93. 91 The traffic returns of the Smyrna and Cassaba Railway for the week ending the 10th inst. show a decline on those for the previous week, the total seven days' receipts being £1,651 10s. 6d., against £1,587 12s. 11d. for the corresponding week of last year. The average weekly revenue for 18 weeks has been £1,704 14s. 9d. At the meeting held to-day of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada a dividend was declared at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum free of income tax. A general meeting of the Ilfracombe Hotel Com pany (Limited) was held yesterday at Ilfrazombe, when a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as respects flax, quicksilver, rice, silk, sheep, and lambs, wool, cocoa, coffee, wheat, unre fined sugar, and wine ; but smaller in live animals, raw cotton, hemp, provisions, tallow, timber, rum, brandy, tea, and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease on the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the entries inwards, but there is a slight increase in the clearances outwards ; while in the coasting trade there is a slight decrease in both instances. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 27th of November gives the fol lowing results when compared with the previous week : Rest ... £3,070,688 Increase £7O Public deposits ... 5,014,482 Decrease 9,425 Other deposits 19,'232,770 Increase 179,0,7 On the other side of the account:— Government securities £12,319,203 No change.

There is on increase in the current accounts of £936,000, in the cash of £480,000, in the bills discounted of £460,000, and in the Treasury balance of £48,000. The advances have decreased £28,000 and the notes £20,000. Colonial Securities are now in great favour, and for some time past statements have been steadily made. The progress of some of our colonies is very considerable. The rapid strides made by New Zealand were never more clearly shown than in the volume of statistics issued under the authority of the New Zealand Government. As an instance it is only necessary to quote the following figures : Imports in 1853, £597,827 ; do., in 1865, £5,594,977. Exports in 1853, £303,282 ; do., in 1865, £3,713,218. The population has advanced in a like proportion. Those interested in New Zealand, or desiring information about the Colony, can, from this volume, gather a host of useful facts. We notice that it is obtainable in England of Mr. G. Street, 30, Cornhill. At the ordinary general meeting, held to-day, of the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company limited, the directors report was submitted, and from which we extract the following :—The directors have the satisfaction of being able to point out to the share holders that the loss of £205,807 Bs. shown on the balance sheet of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Limited, of the 31st August, 1866, was reduced, as will be seen by the present balance sheet), on the 31st August last to £50,434 lls. 6d., and the directors have now the pleasure to state, that since then the ascertained profits have reached upwards of £72,000, thus making at the present time, after recovering all loss, a surplus of net profits, amounting to £22,000. Two o'CLocic. At the Paria Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's t.lcgram, the 3 per Cont. Rental; were 68f. 95c. Flat. There is no change of importance to report in the progress of business in the English Stock Market, quotations in most instances being well supported. Consols for money are dealt in at 941 95 ; for the account on the sth proximo at at 931 f, and for the January settlement they are 93f 1.

Great firmness is still apparent in the Foreign department of the Stock Exchange. Greek advanced 1, to 131 ; but Italian have declined 1, to 464 4. Mexican continue at 161 n Spanish Passive at 24! 25; ditto New 3 per Cents., 351 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents., 334 34. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been numerous, and a decided upward movement has taken place in prices, Caledonian and Lanca shire and Yorkshire having each advanced 24, Mid land 2 i, Great Northern 14, South Eastern 11, Great Western, North Western, and Manchester, and Lincoln each 1, and Great Eastern 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines, in several in stances, are also a shade firmer. South Austrian and Lombardo Venetian have improved to 14 ; Grand Trunk of Canada to 174 1 ; and Madras 5 per Cents. to 105. Very little change has occurred in American Securities.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ~ -- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. INGB V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was an action for compensation for injuries received by the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. 11. W. Wright were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dighy Seymour, Q C., for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was travelling on the South Western railway, some short tithe ago, and, on alighting from the carriage at Putney sta tion, in coLsequence of a box lying on the platform, he fell to the ground and broke his wrist, and sus tained other severe injury. Ile felt that it was a gross piece of negligence on the part of the coln 7 pany to al'ow such things to remain to the clinger of the travellers, and accordingly brought his action for compensation. The company denied the negli gence. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £5. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wild and a Common Jury.) RANSOM V. RANSOM AND SMITH. This was a suit instituted by the husband to ob tain a divorce on the ground of the wife's adultery. The petitioner also claimed damages. The re spondent and co-respondent appeared, and . pleaded a denial of the adultery. Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. M'lntyre appeared for the petitioner; Dr. Spinks, Q.C., for respon dent ; and Mr. Sergeant Robinson for the co-re spondent. It appeared that the parties were married in June, 1856, the husband following the occupation of a tailor in Boston, in Lincolnshire, and the co-re spondent was also a tailor and woollen draper in Lincoln. The families seemed to have been oh terms of intimacy,•. and it was alleged that the re spondent and co-respondent had been guilty of adultery on various occasions. Harriet Tomlinson stated that she was chamber maid at the Royal Hotel, Hull, and had been there from 1862 to 1865. In August, 1865, she thought about the 19th, she remembered Mrs. Ransom coming to the hotel. She was not alone, but was accompanied by Mr. Smith. They occupied the same bed-room. Next morning Mrs. Shaw said something to Mrs. Ransom, and the latter gave her 53. In cross examination she said that Mrs. Shaw had since been in the service of Mr. Ransom. She believed the was married now. It was a very large hotel, and they had a great many visitors. It was managed by a lady, Miss Henderson. She was here to-day. She had ❑ot seen the co-respondent since till last July. That was nearly two years ago. She re cognised Mr. Smith again. Martha Shaw stated that her husband was a clerk in a booking-office. She was employed at the Railway Hotel. She was there from March, 1865, to the September following. She knew Mrs. Ransom ; she knew her from seeing her in her husband's shop serving. She saw her yes terday and this morning. She remembered seeing her at the Railway Hotel in August, 1865. She did not see her when she came, but the next morn ing. She occupied No. 66. A gentleman was with her. She did not know who he was then. She did now. He was Mr. Smith, of Lincoln. They came out of the same bedroom together, on the second morning they came out of the same bed-room again, and she said to Mrs. Smith, " Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, how is Sally Southwick ?" She answered her, and gave her 55., half which she gave to the last witness. She afterwards went to Lincoln and saw Mr. Smith in bis own shop there. She was not married till the Christmas afterwards. She went into the service of Mr. Ransom in 1866. She was there now, and was ,;.ashier. Cross-examined—She was not able to state what date she left on. She was described as Martha Bond, housemaid. When she left she went home to her mother's. She remained there till she went to Mr. Ransom's. She was married on Christmas Dayi 186(3. Stiveral - other witnesses, mostly . women, were called to prove other acts of adultery. The case was proceeding when we went to piess. COURT OF BINKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE THE DAT NEWSPAPER. This morning was appointed for judgment in the matter of Rankin and Co., the printers of the de funct journal the Day. His Honour thought that the agreement between the parties was not that a sum of £5OO was a gift to be applied, as the Messrs. Rankin and Co. thought fit, towards the preliminary expenses of the paper, but a sum for which they were to account to the bankrupt, and the assignees were entitled to insist upon an account as to the type purchased for the paper; nor could Rankin and Co. apply the proceeds of such type to any loss they might have sustained by reason of the stoppage of the paper. His Honour thought that a valuation should be made by some one acquainted kith the trade, and in such valuation allowance should be made for depreciation, &c. Judgment accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENOZ—This Day. 11 IARLBOROUGH-STREE'r. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE BURLINGTON ARCADE.—Charlotte Morton, a welt-dressed young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with disor derly conduct . Frederick Warner, the beadle of Burlington arcade, said that between seven and eight o'clock the previous evening, the prisoner, who was under the influence of drink, was walking up and down the Arcade and making a great noise. Ile col, tioned her, upon which s he made use of very bad language, and as she refused to leave he had to put her out, and when outside the gate she became so abusive and made such a diiturbance that several of the inhabitants came out to complain of her. Wm. Holden, 58 C, specially employed at the Arcade, proved that the prisoner mAde use of very bad language, and said that he had cautioned her on former occasions. The prisoner denied that she Wa3 drunk or male use of bad language, and she said that the constable had never spoken to her before. Mr. Knox said he did not believe the prisoner, and he thought it very unlikely that the two officers would come forward to perjure themselves. lie considered the prisoner's conduct very disgraceful, and should fine her 40s. or a month. Charles Alfred Neave, of Essex-road, Islington, was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly con duct in the Haymarket. After hearing the evidence of police-constable Brown, 167 C, Mr. Knox fined the defendant 20s. or 14 days. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the she:t exchange on London is 251. 15c. per £1 sterling. On o:capering these rates with the English Mint pries of .Ci lia. 100. per ounce for st‘ndard gold, it appears that :mid is nearly 1- oth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 j par cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. TILE OXFORD.—Mr. W. E. Mackney, the " in imitable," makes his appearance at the Oxford on Monday for a winter season. The news will be cheering to those veritable country cousins who flock to the metropolis for the Cattle Show, and to all who reserve for the coming ockas94 a full indulgence in mirth.

CONVICTION OF A DISHONEST SHOPMAN.—Richard Meagher, aged 32 years, late of No. 4, Charles street, Hackney-road, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a large quantity of property belonging to Mr. Benjamin Napper, leather seller and currier, of No. 240, Whiteehapel-road. The prisoner has been in custody more than a fortnight, and he had been remanded three times in the expectation that Dunaway, a detective police sergeant, No. 11 H, to whom the management of the ease was entrusted, would have been able to apprehend a receiver, in whose shop upwards of £4O worth of Napper's property was discovered. The receiver has managed to elude the search made for him. There was no doubt the prisoner had been robbing his employer for some time. On the evening of his apprehen sion, and after he had left his master's shop, he was joined by a woman, with whom he had a long con versation. They were followed by Dunaway and another officer, named Childs, for some time. Both were taken into custody and conveyed to the sta tion-house. There was no evidence to implicate the woman, and she was discharged. Two pairs of upper leathers were found in the prisoner's apart ment in the Hackney-road, and they were identified by Mr. Thomas•Butler,-the prosecutor's manager. The prosecutor said he wished to plod silty ',"he - upper leathers were the property of his em ployer, and all the leather seized by Dunaway was the p roperty of Mr. Napper. _ _ • . Mr . Paget said he was requested by the proseCu tor ar id his manager to dispose of this case sum marily, and he should do so ; but he could not help saying 'the offence of which the prisoner was guilty was a N ery serious one, and deserved a longer punish ment than it was in his power to give. The priso ner had boen robbing his master to a very serious ester t, and had forfeited the trust reposed in him. He ,;'lould pass the most severe punishment in his power , and that was six months' imprisonment and hard la ')our in the House of Correction. BANK OF FRANCE PAIIIS Nov. 28.

(Signed) ROVLIND. MARKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. Although the supply of English wheat hero to-day was only moderate, the demand for both red and white quali ties ruled very inactive, nevertheless Monday's quotations were supported. The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. Fine dry parcels were held at full prices, but inferior kinds were very dull, and late rates were barely maintained. Fluatiag cargoes of wheat and most other produce ruled about stationary. Barley was a dull inquiry, at the late decline in value. The supply was on Me increas9. The inquiry fur malt. was heavy. In prices, however, uo change took place. The quantity on offer was sea sonably good. lasts were heavy, and inferior parcels were rather cheapor. The imparts were on a full average scale. In beans and peas very few sales took place. Flour, as well as seeds and cakes, changod hands slowly at lute rates. AIU(ITALS THIS WPEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

It is no longer a question of what will be the style fashionable for winter dresses—the short cos tume, the round dress, the trained skirt, have each their role assigned them for the present season. We have now, rather, to chronicle the numberless little varieties—the accessories to dress—which daily make their appearance ; and amongst these sashes, perhaps, first claim attention, as they play a very important part just now in a lady's toile te. Many of these, we must, confess, are altogether to o eccentric looking evQr to become popular with ladies of refined tact r. The ribbons made for ashes arc many of them superb —very wide, and iu great variety of patterns. They are not worn wit!i very long ends; if over an out-of-doors casaque, thty must on no aCCOint hang below. it ; for instance, with a velvet fitting paletot may he worn a wide scarf of bllck satin tied at the side forming tr() large 11)ws, and ends finished off with a beautif u t silk fringe. Black moire ribbons, encrusted with black beads, called peele imperial, meet with great success; bein g made in many different widths, they are used f or various purposes—bonnets, neck.4ibbons, cravat s , and trimmings for dresses. The ceinture " Ondine" is made in a plisse, round the waist, with a small butterfly-bow in tile .e.ront, and one rather larger at the back, with two ends fringed, or it may be tied at the side, and passed through rings formed of passementerie or of plain jet. The ceinture " Odalisque" is of green satin ribbon, the ends looped through large dead silvex rings, in the centre of each a silver bee, the ring s hanging from chains formed of very small elver bees. The " Marie Antoinette" ficliu continues as m uc h in vogue as ever ; it is made in so many materials, and suitable to both high and low dress, so that it will remain in fashion, without doubt, for some time longer. There are two or three fichus under other names, but as they are but slight modifications of the, " Marie Antoinette," they may be all classed witdi that, the chief difference consisting in the length of the ends, the style of trimming, and whether th e ends are crossed, and hang in front or are fastened behind. Lace is more and more used for trimming flounces, and scarf mantillas are extremely fashionable. For more sombre dress fur is the trimming most pre ferred. To trim the small in-door jackets a very narrow band of fur is sometimes used. Gold is still in vogue as a trimming. Small vestes and chemises Russes resume their place this winter ; they are too suitable for cold weather to be easily discarded. The chemise Rusee is most frequently made of cachemire, blue or red. The vestes are rounded in front, as they were last year, but longer at the back; and ending in a little point, or basquine. This style made in black taffetas, embroidered with white or gold beads, and trimmed round with a very narrow band of fur, is charming. For young ladies the vestes without sleeves, worn over the chemise Russe, are still in vogue. They are cut square and low, hollowed out under the arms, and laced back and front with gold cord and tassels. As novelties of the season we mention the galons of swan's-down, plain, or spotted with colour, or headed with ruched ribbon and white beaded blonde ; the feather trimmings of all colour, those of par tridge and pheasant producing a charming effect on velvet ; and also the bows of satin, with appliques of English or Chantilly lace, &c. Plush and striped velvet are much worn in rich costumes. Plush, of " Bismarck," dark brown, or Russian leather colour, is very re cherchee. These dresses are made in two skirts, the first plain, the second edged with biases of satin of the same colour. This second skirt may be made in the form of a tunic, opened at the sides, or just caught together from . ol.e "breadth to the other by biases cf satin, but in this material they-are• not usually loop:: I up ; it would-have too heavy an appearance. Velvet costumes may be trimmed much in the same manner, or with silk fringe, or bands of fur put at equal distances round the skirt., just very sightly looping it up. The following is a list of pattern dresses for the season :—Costume of light violet velveteen ; upper skirt of satin of the same shade, looped up in Louis XV. style by two long pattes of velvet. Small vel vet paletot, trimmed with a wide fringe of chenille to match. Robe of ruby coloured faye ; long skirt, plaited in the middle of the back, and trimmed round the bottom with a flounce about 12in. wide, which is headed by two biases of the material and satin. Two similar biases commence at the waist, and are carried round the skirt. Plain body, with a scal loped trimming round the throat, the arm-holes, and the bottom of the sleeves. Long sash. Walking- dress of grey poult de soie. The skirt, just touching the ground, is cut in sadlops, and edged with very narrow silk fringe of a deep shade of green. A flat flounce is laid on above this. Upon the body is placed a bias of green taffetas, edged with fringe, and put on in scallops, so as to imitate a little corselet, and is carried over the shoulders by braces. This costume is completed by a polonaise of the same material as the dress, the back fitting, and the fronts crossing on the chest. Green taffetas sash. • Robe of rich black taffetas or faille. It is made so as to imitate two skirts, with an under-skirt of amber faille.
