" For Gentlemen Only" is a paper t hat possesses the merit of originality at any rate, for it refers to the, a)itheties of dress" in connec tion with male attire, and there is a good deal to be said on that subject.

" Tapos, the Notary of Argostoli " is brought to a conclusion. The end is dramatic one, told in a spirited manner. " A Lost Home" is continued in its usual diversified style, and narrates the schemes of its heroes and heroines in a very effective style.

MACM ILLAN.—This magazine presents us now-a day with a double attraction ou the title-page. The ever-welcome author of " Friends in Council" co ntinues his " Realmah," and every one who is f amiliar with the names of Milverton, Ellesmere, and their colleagues, can readily guess what shrewd sense, what sound judgment, what kindly wit and ready humour adorn its story. The other page to which the reader of Macmillan will naturally turn with eager interest is the second instalment of Miss I. ,"ge's new sto r y " The Chaplet of Pearls." The P l ot: which had already advanced considerably in the first chapters, proceeds yet more rapidly. The rea der, tk whose En g li s h no ti ons were scandalised at , u proposed dissolution of the early marriage, w ill ' e arn with relief that the bold court lady whom / ° ung Berenger shrunk from in the last part was no t In reality the little French bride.

The sale alac j e ate for the Boston readings began at Ticknor 18tJ ie lcia, on Tremont-row, on the morning of the of November. The demand for tickets was un -eced, lo np , ,: r ited.

MONEY JIARKET AND GONNE:R(3IAL INTELLIG33NCE, ------~- TWELVE O'CLOCK. Quietude prevails i❑ the general discount market now that the payments of the fourth of the month have been completed. The rates current, however, remain steady at 1 1 per cent. with exceptional transactions at the former quotation. The Ilammonia from New York has brought £2,330 in specie for England, and £13,240 for France. The Royal Mail steamer Shannon, from the Brazi!s, has arrived, and brings a fortnight's later news from the River Plate and the scat of war in Paraguay. Our papers and letters received ,by this packet state that no alterat!on whatever had taken ',place at th 3 se it of war, nor ha, - I there been an encounter between the Allies and the Para guayans, in which the Litter lost 1,200 men, as re ported by the telegram published a few days ago. The particulars of the two fights, of which the news was brought by the French packet a fort night since, and which the Allies claimed as a vic tory, turns out to have been a regular defeat, and over 3,000 Brazilians were killed. An expedi tion was talked of to go to Tayi, and from thence to march to Asuncion, but it was very much doubted if the Allies could spare so much of their force, being exposed to the daily attacks of the Paraguayans. The Allied fleet remained still en closed between Malaita and Curupaity, and it is admitted that they are unable to force the pass of Malaita, and that the only means to carry on the war was by land. Cholera had greatly di minished in the camp, but it was feared would re appear with the warm weather just setting in. The revolution in the interior provinces of the Confede ration was still alive, and trade was paralysed. A revolution, it was said, had also broken out in Uruguay, which, it was feared, would spread rapidly over the country, as the people are very much dissatisfied with the Go vernment of Flores and the dictatorship of Brazil At Buenos Ayres great frauds had been detected in the Custom-house, and it was currently reported that the Government had threatened to arrest several of the leading merchants of that city. The new crop of wool had commenced arriving at the market, but it was in very bad condition, and prices ruled very low. Money was very easy, and bank rates were from 6to 9 per cent. National Bonds had again declined to 52k, but with very little doing, as the public was afraid to deal in native securities, with the uncertainty of the war still be fore them. A meeting of the China Steamship and Labuan Coal Company (Limited) will be held this afternoon to consider the present position of the company, and determine what shall be done to protect the interests of the shareholders. An extraordinary general meeting of the National Provincial Marine Insurance Company (Limited) is convened for the 18th inst., when a resolution will he proposed in favour of the undertaking being wound up voluntarily under the supervision of the Court of Chancery. The creditors of Mr. John Baynes, of Black burn, whose estate shows a ;satisfactory surplus, have agreed that he shall carry on business and again present them a statement at the end of the next six months. The liabilities reach about £BO,OOO, while the assets are expected to show a surplus of at least £B,OOO. The directors of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per the Shannon, thd following report, dated Morro Velho, 29th October, 1867 :—Produce, second division of October—Eleven days, 14,903 oitavas ; yield, 7,645 oitavas per ton. At the meeting of the Scottish Union Insurance Company,at Edinburgh, the new life policies of the year were stated to have been 887 for £ 4 74,205, yielding, in new premiums, £13,336 19s. 41 Th e results of the fire business had been satisfactory, the net surplus on that account being £14,021. The invested funds now exceed £1,000,000. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1867. 1866.

United States 5-20 Bonds (1862), Which had advanced yesterday to 71,i, declined to-day to 71k, but have rallied again and close at 711 to I, and the 1865 issue 70k to For Illinois Shares there teas been a strong demand all the week, and we have to note a rise of s4—viz., to 894' to 901, at which they are very firm. Eri, s, on the other hand, at 474 to 484, exhibit no change, Good Railroad Mortgage Bonds have been more inquired for. Atlantic and Great Western Deben tures are 21 to 224-, and the Consolidated Bonds 191 to 4. Closing Business Share , Railwaya.

At the sitting of the Court, Mr. Giffard, Q C., proposed to read extracts from the commission that had been appointed to take evidence in the case formerly heard, in which both parties were con cerned, with a view of showing that Mr. Yeatman had made proper provision for the support of Mrs. Yeatman. Mr. Price, for the respondent, objected to any thing being read not connected with the charge of adultery now Lefore the Court. It could only be for the purpose of unduly prejudicing the Court against the respondent. The Judge said it was for him to say how far the act affected the question. He did not think it was in favour of the course proposed by Mr. G iffard. Mr. Price said if Mr. Giffard insisted on reading extracts from the commission, he should not per sist in his objection; but, in fairness, he could offer no opposition to him (Mr. Price) reading Mrs. Yeatman's replies in her re-examination. This course was assented to, and the remainder of the early part of the day was consumed in read ing a number of questions which had on a former occasion been put to Mrs. Yeatman to prove she had received proper support from her husband, and also her replies, denying the accusations of impro. per conduct. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE W. 0. YOUNG. This bankrupt was described as a shipbroker, of Cornhill, and to-day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge. Since the first hearing of the case, however, the bankrupt, who was said to have been greatly affected by the adjudication, was attacked with a paralytic stroke, and ultimately died. Mr. Young was much re spected in the city, and the bankruptcy was ascribed to badness of trade. The case was, in accordance with the usual form, adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CIIARGE.—WRONGFULLY IN CUSTODY. —Mary Warne and Wm. Andrews, the latter a tailor in Princes-street, Drury-lane, were charged before Mr:Knox with being concerned with another person not in custody in stealing a quantity of tailor's cuttings, the property of Mr. Win. Bishops, rag merchant, No. 15, West-street, Golden-square. The prosecutor said that on the previouseveniug, about 10, the prisoner came into his shop, and offered him a bundle of cuttings for sale, and as soon as he looked at them ho said to her, "Why thevm have been taken from my premises," and he then asked her who had sent her with them, and she said a woman in the Tottenham Court-road. Ile told the prisoner that he should detain the cuttings as they were his own property, and she said he should not do so, and on a constable coming and taking her into custody,;:she said that her uncle, who lived in Drury-lane, had given them to her to sell. He (prosecutor) afterwards went to No. 20, Princes-street, Drury-lane, and siw the male prisoner, who said the female prisoner was his cousin, and that he sent her to sell the cuttings which he had purchased, with some listings from Mr. Josephs, rag merchant, Carnaby street, as he had no use for them ; but he s lid that he could not account for his cousin saying that she had brought them from Tottenham-court-road. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said that he missed a quantity of cuttings about a week ago. The cuttings produced were similar to those he had stolen from him, but he would not swear that they proved a portion of them. Rowlett, 145 C, said that the male prisoner at once told him that he purchased the cuttings of Mr. Josephs. Alfred Jones, in the employ of Mr. Josephs, rag merchant s of Carnaby-street, said that the cuttings produced formed a portion of the stuff he packed up for and sold to the prisoner Andrews, and for which he received the money. Mr. Knox said the last witness's evidence settled the case, and the prisoners were both discharged, having been wrongfully given into custody. Andrews said he felt much aggrieved at being given into custody. Mr. Kuox told him that he had his remedy. THAMES. DARING TILL ROBBERY. ---TWO most audacious boys, named Thomas and Edward Smith, ‘i ere brought before Mr. Paget charged with committing a daring till robbery. Yesterday morning a respectable boy, named Alexander Palmer, saw the prisoners near the shop of Mr. Thomas Hickey, a grocer, of Market-place, Devon's-road, Bromley, and suspecting their in tentions watched them, and saw Smith go into the shop, lean over the counter, and open the till, from which he took a bowl containing silver. Smith handed the bowl to Thomas, and Palmer imme diately raised an alarm and called out thieves as lustily as possible. Mr. Hickey left his shop, Thomas dropped the bowl of silver, and both thieves ran away. Palmer recovered ss. 6d. from the ground, while Mr. Hickey, assisted by others, pur sued the prisoners, overtook them, and gave them into the custody of a police-constable, named Sim mons, 48 K, who received the silver picked up by Palmer. Mr. Hickey said there was more than 10s., and less than 20s. in the bowl when it was taken away. Thomas in defence said he met Smith, whom he had never seen before, and who put a bowl, con taining silver, into his hand, and upon seeing what it was he put it down. Smith said he went into the grocer's shop to ruake a purchase, and observing the box of silver Ire to it away. Mr. Paget said he should commit the prisoners for trial, on which both asked the magistrate to try the case at once and sentence them. Mr. Paget said he would not do anything of the kind. These very audacious robberies had been very common, and he was not entrusted with sufficient power to punish those offences as they ought to be punished. It was necesasry that shopkeepers should be protected, and that could not be done unless severe punishments were inflicted. The prisoners were no doubt practised thieves, and had pleaded guilty, but he would not accept their plea for the reasons he had stated. HONESTY REWARDED.—A purse and contents, found by a mendicant in the City a few weeks ago, and brought to Mr. Paget in this court, has been restored to the owner, who gave a correct descrip tion of the portmonnaie, and the coins and a bank ❑ote within it. The finder - has been very liberally rewarded. The claimants for the purse and money were numerous before the right owner appeared. BRITISH MINES. cam. Coneol.

The council of this body met on Wednesday nigilt at tae offices, Adelphi-terrace, Mr. E. Beales in the chair. The chairman drew attention to what be termed a serious and unprovoked attack made upon the League by Mr. Torr, a -prominent member of the National Reform Union, in a speech delivered by that gentleman•before the electors of Ilere : ford. Referring to the action of the League in con nection with Fenianism, Mr. Torr, as reported, "denied that he was a member of the Reform League, and therefore a dangerous man. lie believed the League had committed of late grievous errors—nay, he was going to say crimes--;lgainet the country." Mr. Beales then Proceeded to make indignant comment upon these statements, addinz 4- hat the steps recently taken by the League co repudiate the motives attr:buted to them in respect of Fenianism served as a refu tation of any calumnies cast upon their body. Ife opposed violence as a means of effecting a redress of national grievances in this country, but at the saran time he maintains d that great allowance should be made fur the people of Ireland, and while lamentlng the death of Brett, he lamented the death of Allen, O'Brien, and Larkin, whose execution was an act of unwise judi cial vengeance. Mr. Guedalla moved, "That in the opi nion of this council energetic steps should be imnaediately taken by the various branches of the Reform League throughout the country, acting in conjunction with the trade, friendly, temperance, and other societies, to secure the return at the next general election of a number of working men proportionate to the other interests and classes at present represented in Parliament so as to render our Legislature in future national in the broadest and truest sense." - The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. Weston withdrew his motion in favour of holding a demonstration in Hyde Pa:lc in condemnation of the execution of the Fenians at Manchester. The pro ceedings then terminated. SMITHFIELD CLUB CAME SHOW. On Wednesday very large importations of agricultural machinery and farming implements were deposited in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, intended for exhibition in the Smithfield. Club Christmas Cattle Show. The machines, &c., will be shewn at work, and they com prise many useful and novel constructions by which manual labour in farm husbandry is superseded by steam and other locomotive power. The arrangements of cattle, stalls, &c., are very complete, and the live stock will be shewn to the public with full advantage. The committee have determined that all cattle shall be examined by the veterinary staff engaged for the purpose, and any beast coming from districts not disinfected from cattle disease will be refused admission to the show. There will be thirty-four classes of horned stock, several of which contain large entries ; . prizes amounting to £1,205 will be awarded to successful exhibitors, and in a dition two cups of the value of £4O each will also be given. The sheep classes will comprise eighteen of different breeds, and money prizes to the extent of £570 and three cups worth £2O each will be divided among the owners of sheep who obtain the judges' award. There will be four classes of pigs, and £l2O and a cup worth £2O are to be given, and in addition to prizes awarded to successful exhibitors the committee have provided prizes to the breeders of stock, &c., which obtain commenda„titn from the judges, and medals will also be given to owners of extra stock. The whole of the cattle, &c., must be in the hall by Saturday night. The most strict decorum will be preserved on the Sunday, and divine service will be performed in the building for the cattle attendants. Among the extra stock Lord Hill will exhibit an elk of very great beauty, and one of the finest specimens of the deer tribe. The judges will make their award of prizes on Monday morning next, and at twelve o'clock the public will be admitted on the payment of 55., and on the four subsequent days at is. each. General Sir A. Hood, the president of the club this year, will take the chair at the annual dinner of the Smithfield Cattle Club. The number of beasts and other stock will exceed many previous years' Christmas cattle shows in London. ENCOUNTER WITH TWO HYAWAS AT 4IANDERS' MENAGERIE. Menders' Grand National Star Menagerie has with'n the last two years been the arena of several sensational affairs, none of which, however, can be compared with the circumstance now under notice for the almost tragic inci dents connected with it. It is generally supposed that hymnas are untameable. Mr. /I.l:alders, while on the Continent some twelve or fourteen months ago, pur chased a fine pair of striped hyaenas, which he place I in line i nen s g sete mler the care of a keeper named Sterlem Lawrence. It appears that Lawrence on one occasion al feeding these animals, when one of them got a pin( of bone fast in its throat. A number of expedients were tried from the exterior of the den to dislodge the bone from the hymna's mouth, but as the animal retreated to the extreme end of its cage it was found impossible to accomplish the desired object. Thinking, no doubt, that Mr. 'ganders would feel much annoyed at the loss of a valuable animal under such circumstances, Lawrence opened the door of the den and stepped in. Seizing the hymns by the nape of the neck with one hand, the keeper courageously drew out the bone from the animal's throat with his other hand ; and, as neither of the hymnas appeared to consider this in vasion of their den as impertinent, Lawrence has ever since been in the habit of frequently entering the cage, and has even trained both the hymnas to go through a variety of performances. While the menagerie was at Coggleshall, Essex, a few days ago, Lawrence, as usual, entered the den, and, in the presence of a very large number of spectators, exhibited the hymnas. After putting them through their accustomed exercises, Lawrence was about to leave the cage, and turned his back upon the hymnas in order to unfasten the spring of the door. While occupied in doing this, one of the animals seized Lawrence by the calf of his left leg, the other hyaena attempting to get hold of his thigh. Lawrence had only a small cane in his hand at the time, but one of the spectators quickly handed to the keeper a thick stickheavily loaded with lead at one end. With this weapon Lawrence belaboured the animals, which, however, still held fast— the second hyaena in the meantime having seized the keeper's right leg. As may well be imagined, the circumstances caused a panic amongst' the spectators, who began to rush out of the menagerie. Mr. Menders, who was taking money at the doors, seeing the visitors retreating in great alarm, was soon in possession of the facts of the case, and he at once proceeded to Lawrence's assistance. By the time Mr. Menders had pushed his way through the ex cited crowd, the hymns had got the keeper down on the floor of the I den, and had begun to worry the poor fellow, who was now bleeding profusely from both legs, but luckily was unhurt in both arms and hands. Mr. Menders shouted to Lawrence to use his stick freely, and to "keep up his heart," for assistance was at hand. A tent pole was procured, at the end of which a butcher's knife was securely lashed, and this for midable instrument was inserted under the " locking bars " of the den by Mr. Menders. Watching his oppor tunity, that gentleman thrust the knife into the hind quarters of one of the hymnas, which released its hold of Lawrence and rushed to one corner of the den, yelling hideously. Great caution had to be used, as in consequence of the critical position of Lawrence it was feared he might be wounded with the knife. At length Mr. Menders succeeded in planting the blade of the weapon in the shoulder of the hyaena which still had hold of the keeper, and that animal quickly fol lowed its companion into the corner of the den, their united yells being something terrific. The door of the cage was then opened, and Lawrence was quickly pulled out, Mr. Menders keeping the hymnas at bay with the knife during the operation. The keeper's wounds were found to be not of such a serious nature as were anticipated, and he is now progressing very favourably. Last week a gravedigger, engaged in opening a grave in Glasnevin Cemetery, near Dublin, found at a depth of about two feet ten pikes and two old pistols. Some of the pikes were of the old "barb and hatchet" pattern. The pistols were single barrelled. All the wea pons were much eaten away with rust, and appeared to have lain in the earth fer a long period. RAILWAY ACcIDENT NEAP, HULL. —On Wednesday a collision occurred at the Dairy Coates' Junction, where the lines from the passenger and luggage stations at Hull join. A passenger train and a goods train, both leaving Hull, ran into each other. Several persons were injured, the most serious case being that of the driver of the goods train. A SCENE IN THE MANCHESTER ASSIZE COURT.— On Wednesday, at Manchester, Adelaide Macdonald, 19, was tried for attempting to shoot Daniel Connell, a policeman, with intent to commit murder, on the 4th of November. A letter was produced on the trial, in which she told Griffiths, a witness against Allen, that he would be shot like a dog.

Coleman is fixed for to-morrow evening, on which occasion ho has issued a most attractive programme, and one at the same time calculated to please the taste of all his numerous friends. Mr. Coleman has received the voluntary offers of services from some of the greatest public favourites, which, of course, he has azcepted, and, in addition to the usual grand selection of operatic music, for which the Canterbury has been so celebrated, Mr. W. Randall, Mr. H. Liston, and other great stars, will most certainly appear, and entertain the audience with a number of their newest and best comic songs.
