(Limited), sack contractors. in the foreign and colonial produce markets there has been a very dull tone. Only limited transac tions have been effected in sugar, owing to the un certainty felt with respect to the new duties. At the public sale of Indian tea, superior qualities sold readily at full values. Rice has been at firm prices, owing to the limited quantity on offer, while tallow has shown a further slight decline for both present and forward delivery. Two o'CLocx.

Wages of $lO to $l5 a month, with rations, quarters, and medical atten dance, are the temptations to freedmen. The latter are industrious, and would be quite contented, except for their being prohibited by law from holding or owning real estate and from carrying firearms. Their schools are in good condition. Joseph Davis, a brother of Jefferson, is said to have written a re commendation of his late chattel, Mr. Benja min F. Montgomery, to the office of pstmaster at Davis Bend, he having " discharged the duties of that place from 1835 to 18G1, a white man holding the appointment." The Nation says Mr. S. P. Avery's collection of pictures was sold on Monday night, Feb. 4, and the sale marks the breaking up of the pleasant art gallery and the useful art agency which has been for several years at the corner of Fourth-street and Broadway. Mr. Avery goes to Europe, as every body knows, to hang American pictures at the French Exhibition. But one returns from Europe nowadays ; and we shall hope that a new art agency with larger facilities, and a gallery with a fuller and more frequently changing exhibition will result from the journey. Mr. Avery will have it in his power to be of even greater use to American art than he has hitherto been, and we shall anxiously watch for his return. REUTER'S TELEGRAM COMPANY. (6feeting This Day.) The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; Colonel Holland, director, in the chair. _ _ The report, which congratulated the shareholders on the steadily increasing prosperity of the company, having been circulated amongst the shareholders, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said that the report was so full that it spoke for itself; bat there were two or three points on which he would make a few remarks. In the first place he wished toexplikin that the ac counts, being made up annually instead of half yearly, did not clearly show the Frospurous position of the company, and the actual amount of business transacted was not so apparent.' £1,856 had been realised on the purchase of the business from Mr. Reuter, which he considered a very good profit. In making a division of the reserved fund, the directors thought it only right that the old shareholders should have a share in the amount so divided. A large increase had taken place in the profits of the company from the double business in which they were engaged. With respect to the Hanoverian cable, the reason why it had not been in operation was owing to the war. Mr. Reuter obtained a concession from the Hanoverian Government, but which was rendered useless by the overthrow of the kingdom of Hanover. However, Mr. Reuter, by h s inter,st with the Prussian Government, had obtained a renewal of that concession. But they had to surrender their fourth wire to the Prussian Government, on their guaranteeing a minimum daily number of messages to be con veyed by the company, and to undertake the maintenance and repair of their continental land lines. An arrangement had been con cluded with the Electric Telegraph. Company, which secured a minimum number of messages on the fourth corresponding to that guaranteed by the Prussian Government. 'The effect of those charges would be to make, according to estimate, an addi tion to the revenue of the company of £30,000 a year. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts, which was unanimously agreed to. 'The Chairman, being the retiring director, vacated the chair, which was taken by Admiral Sir J. C. D. Hay, M.P. Col. Holland was then re-elected. After the transaction of some other formal busi ness, thanks were voted to Mr. Reuter, the manag ing director of the company, and to the directors, which terminated the proceedings. LIVERPOOL CO L iON MARKET. (This Day.) Market still continues depressed. Sales may probably reach 4,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On tornparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about I.loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 103/ per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importatio.► of gold froth the United States His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and their Royal Highnesses suits, will this evening honour the Olympic Theatre with their presence. Mr. Fildes, on the second reading of Sale and Purchase of Shares Bill, will move that it be read a second time upon that day six months. Mr. Osborne will to-morrow ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will lay upon the table of the house any subsequent correspondence between the Admiralty and Lieutenant Brand since that officer was placed on half-pay. THE DESIGNS FOR TIIE NEw LAW COURTS.—The exhibition of the designs for the new Courts of Justice will, after this present month, and until further notice, be open to the public on Thursdays only,. and to members of both Houses of Parliament, and other special visitors, on Saturday only, the remaining days being required for the work of the commission. • Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colo nial-office to the Governors of Ceylon, Hong Kong, Lahuan, Malta, the Mauritius, Gibraltar, the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Straits Settlements, and the Aus tralian Colonies. POISONOUS BnEAD.—M. Nickles, professor of chemistry at Nancy, has just discovered a circumstance which may turn out to be of great importance to public health. It seems that bakers have been lately in the habit of heating their ovens with old painted wood got cheap from the demolition of houses. But bread baked in such an oven acquires poisonous qualities from the whitelead, verdigris, and other noxious substances contained in the paint ; and M. Nickles shows that these substances are absorbed by the crust, and do not penetrate to the crumb. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.--A meeting was held in the Town-hall, Manchester, on Monday, presided over by the mayor, R. Neill, Esq., for the purpose of ap pointing a committee and adopting other steps for raising a fund in aid of the Cretan families, who have been forced to leave their island, and who, to the number of 12,000, mostly women and children, are entirely dettituto pf the common necessaries of life. Resolutions in furtherance of the ob ject specified were carried unanimously. MR. M‘LAREN'S BILL. —A crowded meeting, called by advertisements and placards, was held in the Queen-street Hall, Edinburgh, on Monday night, "to review the conduct of the members for the city" with re ference to the second reading of Mr. M'Laren's Annuity tax Abolition Bill. Treasurer Marshall presided, and the leading speakers were Councillors Fyfe, Bladworth, Stott, and D. Lewis. The resolutions expressed the thanks of the meeting to Mr. M'Laren and the members who had supported his bill; declared that no settlement of the question would be satisfactory which did not pro vide a total abolition of the Annuity-tax ; expressed " in dignant disapproval" of Mr. Moncrieff's conduct in oppos ing the bill, and declared entire want of confidence in him as one of the representatives of the city. It was further suggested in some of the speeches that Mr. Moncrieff should at once get formal notice that au effort would be made t unseat him, and, with the same candour, the declaration was made that Mr. Miller, of Leithen, would be brought forward to oppose him, though Mr. Miller, who was pre sent, did not pledge himself to accept the invitation given to him.—Scotsnzan. FATAL DEVICE BY A STUDENT.—A fatal act of imprudence has been committed by a young student in an educational establishment at Rheims. A youth named Renaut, aged 15, had boon confined to the sick-room on account of a slight indisposition, and had there passed his whole time in reading, particularly the history of France. When restored to health ho found himself unable to con tinue his favourite occupatiort on account of the regular routine of the school busincvsiso ho determined to simulate illness in order to return to the infirmary. A. botanical garden belonging to the 'eseablishment, in which all the plants were ticketed, suggested to him the means. lie was so foolish as to swallow some hemlock, after which he re turned to the house and complained of being unwell, but without avowing what he had done. Shortly after the symptoms became so aggravated that he made a full con fession; but it was then too late, and he expired in the course of the evening. FIRE AT lIENIIA3I BALL—Early yesterday morning a destructive fire broke out in Ilenbam Hall, Suffolk, the seat of the Earl cf Stradbroke, lord lieu tenant of the county. The mansion was restored and beautifully embellished only a few years since. It is feared that a sad work of destruction has been going on. At the time the Ipswich correspondent wrote, the particulars of the disaster, which is supposed to have been caused by a flue, had not reached him. The Countess of Stadbroke, who has been recently confined, was safely removed. MARYLEBONE LITERARY INSTITCTION.—On Monday evening the seventh of a series of readings and performances announced for the session of 1866-7 took place at this institution, in Edwards-street, Portman square. The subject was "An Evening with Sir Walter Scott," and the reader was Mr. C. Natueurt. The pieces selected by Mr. Nameurt were the scone describing tho gathering of the clans in the "Lady of the Lake," and the deeply pathetic part of " The Bride of Lammermoor," representing the signing of the marriage contract by Lucy Ashton, and her subsequent death; and in each of those he betrayed an elocutionary ease, combined with an ap preciative knowledge of his subject, which did not fail to command the interest and attention of his audience. EIGHTEEN SHEEP ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.—On Friday a drove of sheep, belonging to Mr. Nimmo, at Motherwell, strayed on to the Caledonian Railway, near Wishaw, and before they could be removed a passenger train dashed up and killed 18 of them, and injured others. Viscount des Meloizes-Fresney, French Minister at Munich, gave a ball a few days back at the Hotel of the Legation, at which were present Prince Otho, the King's brother, and most of the Princes of the Royal House . at present in Munich. Wo rejoice to hear that " Artemus Ward" has greatly benefited by his recent visit to Jersey. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Thip Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) John H. Harris surrendered to an indictment preferred against him for receiving a lunatic into his house at Feltham without the necessary certificate signed by two medical men. The case was a very uninteresting one, and occu pied the Court the whole of the day. In the other courts the cases taken were of a similar nature. The trial of Anderson, who stood indicted fur murder, was postponed until next ses sion. POLICE INTELLIGEgCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. INGENIOUS SWINDLING.—For some time past a man of gentlemanly appearance, about 30 years of age, has been ingeniously defrauding West-end tradesmen. The method adopted has been to order goods to be sent for his inspection eil her at lodgings or hotels, and then, under pretence of wishing to show them to his " invalid sister," or some person in the next room, to get possession and make off with them by some other door, on one occasion getticg off with three valuable Indian shawls. At times the man, when ordering the goods, has been accom panied by 'a well-dressed female. Amongst the tradesmen who have been victimised by the man are Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, Regent-street, Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, Oxford-street, Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., Tottenham-court-road, Messrs. Smith, Durrant, and Co., South Audley street, Messrs. Benson and Co., Ludgate-hill, and Messrs. Reilly and Co., Oxford-street. A reward of £lOO is offered for the apprehension of the man who has used the names of Leigh, Molesworth, Willmott, and Farquhar, and who is said to be known to the police. CURIOUS CASE.—Peter Pfannenperger, who was , described as an Italian, and who on Monday'last,' when before Mr. Tyrwhitt on the charge of assault-' ing Wilhelm Bock, a waiter at Mr. Kuhn's restau rant, Hanover-street, Regent-street, pretended not to be able to understand Mr. Albert, the interpre ter, who spoke to him in Italian, French, German, and English, remaining perfectly silent, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. It may be remembered that the prisoner went to the restaurant and begged, and on the prosecutor trying to remove his hand from the door he received a severe cut on the hand. On the prisoner being placed in the dock to-day he fell down on his knees, and placed himself in the attitude of prayer. Mr. Albert said that the two days' detention the prisoner had undergone had effected a cure, for he had spoken to him in French. The prisoner was not an Italian, but a Belgian. Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoner in French. The prisoner said he wanted to get away from London. He had been eight months in London. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a case he could not withdraw from a jury, and committed the prisoner for trial. „ CRUELTY IN PACKING rms.—Thomas Norrey, a pig dealer, of Prospect-place, Stepney-green, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, yesterday, to answer a summons taken out by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for carrying a number of pigs in a cart in such a manner as to cause them unnecessary suffering. The Marquis Townshend proved seeing the de fendant with a number of pigs in a cart, some of them three deep, and apparently in a state of great suffering. There was a second summons against the de fendant for not having his name properly painted on his cart. Beales, 134 C, proved that the name and address on the cart were perfectly illegible. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s. and costs Li. improperly packing the pigs, and 2s. 6d. and costs for not having his name properly painted on th e cart. SHARE MARKETS—This day.

A COUPLE OF TOEING RoGuEs.—Edward Harvey and Thomas Green, one 11 the other - 12 years of age, were brought up on remand before Mr. Paget ) charged with stealing an advance note and a Bank of England note for £5, the property of Thomas Eustace, a baker in Hardinge-street, Commercial road East. The prosecutor is the stepfather of the prisoner Harvey, and carries on business with his wife. They are very respectable people, and both acted with great kindness to the boy Harvey, the son of Mrs. Eustace by a former husband. Green lived in the same house. On the 30th of January Mrs. Eustace deposited a £5 note in a clock case, in which was also a seaman's advance note. Both notes were missing on the following morning, and the boys were also missing. Nothing more was seen of them until the Tuesday morning last, when a police constable, named William Carter, No. 78 K, found them both asleep in a cab in a yard in Hannibal-road, Stepney. He took them into cus tody. On the way to the station-ho Use Green made his escape and went home. He was so altered in appearance that his parents and friends could scarcely recognise him. Harvey was brought before Mr. Paget on Monday, and told a long story, that his father was a dock labourer, living in Poplar; that his father sent him out to obtain work, and not being able to obtain any turned him out of doors, and told him to shift for himself. Carter was directed to accompany the boy Harvey to Poplar, and see his father on the way to Poplar. Harvey confessed who he was, and that he had robbed his parents of £5 and an advance note. Green was subsequently taken into custody, and he told the constable he had been in custody , before, which his mother declared to be a false hood. The prisoners told their parents that they destroyed the, £5 note. They related a different story to Carter, that they changed the note, bought some clothes, and were robbed of them at a three penny lodging-house, in Whitechapel. Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial, and on being asked to dispose of the case stunmarily, said " No, I will leave a Judge to dispose of those boys as he thinks proper." The boy Harvey is a great liar as well as a thief, and the other is very little better.. WESTMINSTER. THE . ,rO9R ~AND THEIR NECESSITIES.—John Morgan, a hearty-looking young man, eras charged with destroying his - clothing in the casual ward of St. Margaret's Workhouse, Westminster. Thomas Waterman, superintendent of the casual ward, said that defendant Viri.S admitted at half-past eight last night, and having been relieved with sup per went to bed. This morning, when asked to get up, he said he could not, as he had no clothes ; he had destroyed those be came in with. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he was obliged to do it, for his clothing was so filthy and ragged that he could not wear it any longer. He was a labouring man, who wanted to obtain employment, but it was impossible for hi m t o ge t a living in the things he had on. Mr. Arnold—You should have applied to the parish if you were in want of clothing, instead of which you took means to compel the parish to find you fresh clothing by tearing up what you had. Defendant—l went to three or four of these places, and showed them my clothing, and told them that I could not get employment iu that state, but they would not give me any clothes. I tried to to get a few pence to procure a pair of trousers with, but I could not, and they were so bad altogether that I could not put them on again. Mr. Arnold—Did you apply to this parish ? Defendant—l did not. I was tired of asking for clothes, as I never got any. Mr. Arnold—lf in want of sufficient clothing the parish are bound to give it you, but you cannot be allowed to compel them to do it in this way. You are committed for seven days. "IN DEATH TIIET WERE NOT DIVIDED."—On Sunday last the remains of William Green and his wife, an old couple who had lived together for the long space of 62 years, were interred in one grave in Ashdon churchyard, near Chelmsford, according to a wish expressed by them while in life. They died within two days of each other; the ago of the husband being 92, and of his Wife 82 years. PROPOSED REFORM DEMONSTRATION. 4 , - Last night a special meeting of the Working Men's Association and the Trades' Society delegates connected with the December Reform demonstration was held at St. Martin's hall, to consider the Go vernment-scheme of Reform. Upwards of 190 dele-. gates were present, representing fully 80,000 men ; Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings with an analysis of the Government proposals, which he characterised as a retrograde, step in the Reform movement, and utterly unworthy of being accepted by the people as a settlement of the great question. He detailed the proceedings which had. taken place that day at the meeting of the Liberal members with Mr. Gladstone, and announced that Mr. Disraeli .had withdrawn his Resolutions, with the intention of bringing in a bill on Thursday week embodying the principles lie had set forth on Monday night. Such a bill would not be accepted by the people, although endorsed by the House of Commons. Mr. Loive had said the late demonstrations bad passed away without leaving an echo behind. It was now the duty of the people to Urake the echo heard, and it must be a long and loud - one. They must now have not a local. but a national demonstration, in which the working men of Manchester, Birmingham, and other towns must be asked to take part. A long*and animated discussion ensued, in which the conduct . of the Government was unsparingly de nounced, and a general opinion expressed that even the Opposition would have to be 'kept up to the mark by the pressure from without. Mr. HowE, polisher, moved the following reso lution :—" That this meeting having considered the GoVernment scheme of _Reform as developed in the House of Cornmons on Monday night, by the-Chan cellor of the •Excliever, is of opinion it,is one not only_falling far short of the just expectations and requirements of the country, but IrisUlting to the people" at large, inasmuch as it is a retrograde mea sure,c less liberal than that introduced to Parlia- Jnent by the Derby Government of 1859, and would .enfranchise a considerably less number of the work ing classes than was proposed to be done by the very moderate measure of Mr. Gladstone last session." Mr. HAWOOD (Amalgamated Carpenters)seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Pardoe (painter), Mr. Jenkins (organ builder), Mr. Brooke (salesman), Mr. Edbrooke (porter), and Mr. Richards (gasfitter), and carried Unanimously. Mr. BAWDEN, tin-plate worker, moved—" That the Derby Government, by its conduct, having proved itself utterly incompetent to deal with the question of Reform in a manner satisfactory to the people, this meeting emphatically call, upon the House of Commons at once to reject the Govern ment scheme of Reform, and show to the country that they will no longer allow the question to be trifled with." Mr. BRISTOW (mason) seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Wistoby (plasterer), Mr. Rosewarne (painter), Mr. Webber (provision dealer), and Mr. Gilmore (mason), and carried with loud cheers. Mr. BLIGH (shoemaker) moved—" That, in order to enable the people to express their opinions on the present unsatisfactory position of the Reform ques tion, this meeting recommend the IVorking, Men's Association to call a public demonstration in Trafal gar-square on Saturday afternoon next at 4 o'clock, and pledges itself to support such demonstration." Mr. WICKS (decorator) seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN said the association would act upon the resolution, and at , once issue the notice for the meeting. Mr. HINTON (mason) then moved—" That the association be requested to prepare for a great na tional demonstration on or about Easter, to which the trades of the provinces be invited." Mr. WYNNE (plasterer) seconded the resolution, which was carried with great enthusiasm. The Cll?iII:MAN said the asscciation w_ould at once take the necessary steps for carrying into effect the above resolutions, and he had no doubt Mr. Lowe would now hear the echo. The proceedings then terminated. Naval and Military Int lligence, The armour-plated iron frigate Hector, Captain Luard, recently doing duty as guardship off Cowes, during the stay of her Majesty at Osborne, and the armour-plated wooden frigate Lord Clyde, Captain Roderick Dew, C. 8., at present represent her Ma jesty's navy at Spithead, both awaiting at that an chorage Admiralty orders relative to their future movements. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26, Capt. the Duke of Edinburgh, left Plymouth Sound yesterday morning for Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta. After a sojourn of a few months iu the Mediterranean fihe will proceed to Australia, after which Bombay, Cal cutta, China, and Japan will be visited. The voyage round the world will involve a total absence of about two years. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 35, went outside Plymouth breakwater on Monday to test her en gines. Yesterday she was, placed in the basin at Keyham Steam-yard, to be completed for the first division of the steam reserve in Hamoaze. Yesterday an order was received at Chatham from the War Department, directing that the erection of the block of buildings which had been in progress for several months past near St. Mary's casemated barracks, for residences for the married non-com missioned officers of the third battalion, is to be dis continued, and the work no further proceeded with. The reason for this order is the discovery., now that the range of buildings is nearly completed, that the erection is too near the principal magazine, and that from its close proximity danger was likely to ensue. It is not yet decided whether the new buildings will be taken down and re-erected on 'another site, or the magazine removed to a less dangerous locality, but it is probable the latter course will be adopted. At the monthly examination atthe Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, held on the 21st inst., Lieut. E. D. Law, R.N., obtained a certificate as French interpreter. MARKETS.—This day. MARK-LANE. The fresh receipts of Essex and Kent wheat, although modetate, were, with the supply remaining unsold from Uonday, amply sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the fpw , nlillers in attendance who were dis•Losed to'ope rate. No badness was concluded ' w ithout difficulty. Even the finest samples met a slow Fare; at the late reduction in value, whilst inferior sorts were almost entirely neglected. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was good. There was a want of animation in the demand for all do sCriptions, at about Monday's decline In prices. Floating cargoes of wheat moved off slowly, and in other kinds of produce afloat the transactions wore on a limited scale. _ _ There was a fair supply of foreign barley on the stands, but only a moderate quantity of English. For all quali ties the trade was heavy, at the late decline. Tho supply of malt was seasonably extensive. The demand was in a sluggish state, at barely previous rates. Oats were in fair supply and limited request, at the recent fall in prices. Beans moved off slowly, and in peas very little was doing, at Monday's currencies. Flour was very quiet, on former terms. Clover seed was steady, but other agricultural seeds, as well as lin seed and rapeseed, were dull. Cakes were heavy. SNIP AIULLITA.LS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

RISE ALLAH. BEY. —Yesterday, at Judges' Chain bars, before Mr. Justide Lush, a renewed application was made on the part of the proprietors of the Standard news paper, calling on the plaintiff, George "Habeek Risk Allah, who had brought an action forlibel and laid the damages at £lO,OOO, to give security for costs. The proceedings arose out of the remarkable trial of the plaintiff ou a charge of murder at Brussels, and on which he was acquitted. Mr. Thomas Chitty appeared for the defendants in support of the application, and Mr. Baker Greene for the plaintiff. There were affidavits on both aides. The learned gentle man (Mr. Chitty) urged that tho plaintiff was continually abroad and should be required to give security for costs whilst, on the other side, the learned counsel alleged that, the plaintiff was naturalised and domiciled in this country. His lordship, after hearing both sides, did not think the affidavits in support of the summons sufficiently rebutted the affidavits on the other side for him to direct the plaintiff to give security for costs before he proceeded with his action, and therefore endorsed the summons "No order." The application was refused accordingly. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. NOTTINGHAM RACES.--(THIS DAY.) POREST HANDICAP.

Ines is now leading Seville; and Lady Hester has joined Lady Rose and Miss Bateman Distin has got all right again, and is cantering freely. Rose Cheri, John Davis, and Gotnera aro doing first class, and Ischia moves beautifully. MALTON.

Klarinska has been stopped ; but War, Westwick, and Shylock are in good work. Treasure Trove is eased for the present. LEWES. Ostregor is leading Pirate Chief and Actasa, and the latter pair are doing first-rate. Mischief is galloping two miles very fast. Puebla has recommenced good exercise. MARLBOROUGH.
