No burr of any grasshopper, No song of any bird, But the boating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard. Or again, in that sweetest of child lullabies, every verse of which ends with the singing to the little girl of flower, or leaf, or bird, or but terfly_good night, good night ! Known, and honoured, and appreciated by 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 enjoyiug. 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 vo lumettes, just added to the now fast-exteudheg 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 b 3 more happily chosen than just Such choicest of choice selections as these from Alfred Tennyson 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 t hroughout 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 Mr. J. E. Carpenter, and published, if we remember rightly, in as many as five volumes (one shilling each), by Frederick Warne and Com pany, of Bedford-street, Covent-garden. Ana there is that larger series, published in a periodi cal 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—Moxou'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, besides this, in the mere printing of them, they are as pleasantly legible as can be in the size and clearness of the typography. derrl l ss l * N. • • (Cla n rt " innlnt HER MAJESTY.

The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the ten months ended 31st October have just been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United King dom for that period was £153,051,639, against £158,832,792 in the corresponding period of last year, and showing a decrease of £5,781,153, which is most perceptible iu beer and ale, cotton manu factures, haberdashery, and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, silk mannfactures, sheep and lambs' wool, and woollen and worsted manufactures, but there is a slight increase in coals and culm, cotton yarn, linen yarn, and woollen and worsted yarn. 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 commanded slightly better prices. The New limiduras ',rum :. Art. ea 1 11- prem. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures have risen k, to 21 28 ; but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 18} 19f.

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. 91. 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 Ilfracombe, when a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The i►nportations 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 iu 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 ...

There is an 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.

WAY COMPANY. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. INGS V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL- This was an action for compensation for injuries received by the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Ballautine and Mr. H. W. Wright were for the plaintiff, and Mr. liigby Seymour, Q C., for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was travelling on the South Western railway, some short time ago, and, on alighting from the carriage at Putney sta tion, in consequence of a box lying on the platform, he fell to the ground and broke his wrist, and sus tained othee severe injury. Ile felt that it was a gross piece of negligence on the part of the com pany to allow such things to remain to the danger 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 on 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 ss. Iu cross examination she said that Mrs. Shaw had since been in the service of Mr. Ransom. She believed he 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 not 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. Ile 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.Sinith, hew 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 his 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 cashier. 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 ou Christmas Day, 1866. Several other witnesses, mostly women, were called to prove other acts of adultery. The jury found for the petitioner, and assessed the damages at £l5O. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE THE DAY 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 with the trade, and in such valuation allowance should be made for depreciation, &c. Judgment accordingly. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Parie is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 231. 150. par £1 sterling. On o Juiparing these rates with the English Hint price el £1 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that gold is near'y 1-:oth per cent. dearor in Paris than in Lon don. rho /ouree of exoha.nge at New York on London for bills at 0 days' sight is about 100 i per oent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE OXFORD.--111r. W. E. Mackney, the "in imitaLle," 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 season a full indulgence in mirth. 114 ! 1d 1 14p 13'.1 bz ilo 112 56 47 41 18 66 6641 84 Vr 141 ilB i'REFERENCE SUAR,ES AND STOCKS.

MARLBOROUGH.-STREET. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE BURLINGTON ARCADE.—Charlotte Morton, a well-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. He cau tioned her, upon which she 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. Win. 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 was drunk or made 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. ;„He considered the prisoner's conduct very disgraceful, and should fine her 40d. 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 20a. or 14 days. THAMES. CONVICTION OF A DISIIONEST SIIOPMAN.—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, Whitechapel-road. The prisoner has been in custody more than a fortnight, and he had been remanded three times iu the expectation that Dunaway, a detective police sergeant, .No. 11 11, to whom the management of the case 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 vergation. 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. Thorua.s Butler, the prosecutor's manager. The prosecutor said he wished to plead guilty The upper leathers were the property of his em ployer, and all the leather seized by Dunaway was the property of Mr. Napper. Mr. Paget said he was requested by the prosecu tor and 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 very serious one, and deserved a longer punish ment than it was in his power to give. The priso ner had been robbing his master to a very serious extent, and had forfeited the trust reposed in him. Ile should pass the most severe punishment in his power, and that was six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Oa. BANK OF FRANCE PARIS, Nov. 28.

(Signed) Ro ULAX D. JIARKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. Although the supply of English wheat here 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. Floating 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 the increase. The inquiry fur malt was heavy. In prices, however, no change took place. The quantity on offer was sea sonably good. Oats wore heavy, and inferior parcels were rather cheaper. The imports were on a full average scale. In beans and peas very few sales took place. Flour, as well as seeds and cakes, changed hands slowly at late rates. AXRXYALS THIS WHEX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The judges appointed to decide on the designs sent iu were of opinion that no one design came up to the point required, and therefore they did not select the design of any single architect, but had directed two of the competing architects to prepare a joint design. The Treasury were not satisfied with that award, and re ferred the matter back to the judges for reconsideration, but they had sent a communication to the Treasury, stair g that they adhered to their former decision. Under these circumstances the Treasury had determined to consult the Commissioners on the subject. When that had been done he should be glad to give the hon. member further infor mation if ho required it. COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary to the Treasury if it was true that when the Cunard contract ceased at the end of the year, no arrangement had been made whereby the steamers of that Company would call at Queenstown. Mr. HUNT said he had stated the arrangements that had been made when the Cunard contract was last before the house; an arrangement had been made for a continu ance of the weekly service for one year, leaving Queens town as at present. THE FORESHORES. Mr. COLER[DGE asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether he would lay upon the table of the house a memorandum as to the dealing with the fo:e shores and bed of the sea by the Board of Trade, drawn up for the use of the Board in December, 1866. Mr. CAVE said ho had laid the memorandum on the table that evening. .ABYSSINIA. Mr. YOUNG asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house the list and name of every merchant ship engaged in the Abyssinian expedition, with the nett and gross register tonnage of each ship; also the horse-power of each engine; also the price per ton each ship was chartered at ; also the names of each registered owner of such ship as appeared upon the register when the ship was tendered to the Government for hire and the name of each owner as he now stands on the register, with the name of the broker who tendered such ship; and also if a member of that House could participate in any of the profits, directly or indirectly, of that expedition. Mr. CORRY said ho should have no objection to lay the return ou the table of the house as far as the Admiralty could do. Of course no member of that house could enter into any public contract without , forfeiting his seat._ Tfig BAGGAGE OF THE RIFLE-BRIGADE, Mr. CHILDI4.;RS asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true that the baggage of the regiment which landed at Portsmouth on Saturday last from the crocodile was not delivered at Plymouth tilt Wednesday, being four days after the arrival of the regiment at the latter gar rison. Sir J. PAKINGTON said tho Crocodile arrived at Portsmouth on the 22d, and the baggage of the troops it conveyed,. the Rifle Brigade, was placed in the railway trucks the same afternoon and following moruiug. It. was quite true that the first portion of it was nut delivered un.il the 27th, but the fault of the delay rested with Messrs. Pickford and not with any of the Govetument departments. THE ABYSSINIAN DEBATE. Mr. NEWDEGATE called the attention of the house to the remarks made by the hon. member for Southwark, in course of the debate ou Abyssinia, in which he stated that Doctor Beka ha , l accused Mr. Bassani with having misappropriated public money. The hon. member said Dr. Belie had written to the Times a statement in his own defence, but the communication had not been made public. Mr. CHILDERS asked whether the hon. gentleman re ferred to (Mr. Layard) had baen informed that the subject was to be brought forward that evening ?* Mr. NEWa:GATE said he had ;Litton to the bon. member, but he had received a communication that the hon. gentleman would not be in town for ten days, and such being the case, ho did not think that it was right that the unfounded statements he had made should remain in circulation ten days without a full denial being given to them. SALMON FISHERIES. On the house going into Committee of Supply, Mr. P. WYNDHAM asked if it was the intention of the Government to bring in a bill to amend the law affecting the salmon fisheries in the Solway Firth. Mr. HARDY said he thought that as the English &AI had been fully considered it was right that the Scotch side should also be considered, and the evils remedied. lie would, however, consult the Lord Advocate ou the riatter with a view to the introduction of a bill. ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. Major ANSON called the attention of the house t ) thn relative cost of the Woolwich 7-inch gun and the c,m verted 7-inch gun, as given on the 13th August, in the last session of Parliament, by the Secretary of State for War, and said the present system of determining the value of any efforts to improve and cheapen warlike implements was calculated to crush and frustrate every attempt at improvement. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the object in view was to obtain the best article it was possible to produce, and ho did not think that any attempt was made to impede or frustrate the inventions submitted for test and trial. With respect to the conversion of the guns on Colonel Palliser's principle, it had been decided, as a great necessity existed for rifle guns abroad, to carry on the conversion of guns on that principle by the private trade, under the superintendence of Col. Pallisser, intsead of effecting that work at the Royal Gun Factory, Woolwich. INCREASE OF IRISH SPIRIT DUTY. Sir J. GRAY called attention to the proposed increase of spirit licence duty in Ireland by the Board of Inland Revenue ; and asked the Secretary to the Treasury, whether, in proposing such increase, the Board of lulaud Revenue was acting under instructions from the Treasury; and, if not, whetha the Treasury would interfere to pre vent it ? _ _ Mr. HUNT said the sanction of the Treasury had not been given, but in a communication with the commis sioners they say they are acting under the p °visions of an act of Parliament, and that in ghat they were doing they were only carrying out the law. If, however, any special hardship was occa sioned, he had no doubt, on a proper representation being made to the Commissioners, redress would at once be given. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. Mr. OTWAY called the attention of the house to the anomalous and embarrassing state of the law relating to the elections for the boroughs of Totnes, Great Yarmouth, Lancaster, and Reigate, in consequence of the postpone ment of the period at which their disfranchisement was made executory.
