In the corn market to-day there were only mode rate fresh samples of home-grown wheat on offer, but of foreign there were large arrivals. Business remained inactive, and last Monday's current rates were with difficulty supported. rile accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business in most departments has remained very inactive. At Man chester, however, the lowest point .as regards the late decline was touched on Wednesday, when soon after there was a slight improvement in the value of cloths and yarns ; buyers, however, acted with Considerable caution, but spinners and manufac turers generally are not ready sellers. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield operations have only been on the hand-to-mouth Principle, and chiefly to sort up stocks, prices gene remaining steady. The hosiery and lace trade of Leicester and Nottingham have been moderately active, the late severe weather having caused a good demand for useful descriptions of both worsted and cotto n h os i ery. In the hardware districts of Bir illungliarn, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton dullness, however, has been the principal feature. Rather More business has been entered into in articles for the 'oast Indies and America, but for the home trade there has been scarcely any inquiry. The Committee of Investigatiou of the Atlantic an d Great Western Railway have forwarded the ° . ll° wing notice to the bondholders The com.- Til .

THE TRANSATLANTIC POSTAL SER VICE. On the Ist of January considerable modifications will be made relative to the ocean postal service between Great Britain and the United States, the British Government having entered into a fresh contract with Messrs. Cunard and M'lver, and having also for the first time granted subsidies to the Inman line of steamers sailing from Liverpool, and those of the Bremen Company, which call at Southampton. Under the new arrangements the mails will be forwarded on Tues days from Southampton by the Bremen Company, en Thursdays from Queenstown ly the Inman Com pany, and on Sundays from Queenstown by. the Cunard Company. This latter company have dis continued the service between New York and Nassau, and also the fortnightly service between Queenstown and Halifax, which will be under taken in future by the Inman Company, while the service between Halifax, Bermuda, and St. Thomas has been the subject of a special con tract with Mr. William Cunard, who will receive £14,000 per annum from the British Government for it. Under the new contracts with the British Go vernment, Messrs. Cunard, Burns, and M'lver have agreed to compound for a fixed sum of £BO,OOO for one year in lieu of the ocean postage ; while the In-: man and Bremen Companies have agreed to accept the ocean postage, which will give to each company a fluctuating subsidy proportionate to the numbers of letters carried. This ocean postage is estimated by the Inman Company to be worth £20,000 per annum. These three contracts, however, are only good for 1868, and will in all probability be subject to revision after that period. The United States Government have made the following arrange ments for 1868 :—The Bremen Company aro to leave New York on Tuesday, the Hamburg Com pany on Thursday, and the Inman Company on Saturday, the Cunard Company retaining Wednesday—their usual day from New York. In this case the various companies will be paid by the ocean postage, worth probably about £15,000 a year ; but the Cunard Company will have to hand their receipts from this source to the British Post office. In addition to the subsidised line of steamers, other fine steamers sail weekly from Liverpool to North America. On Thursdays the Allan Company, who receive a subsidy from the Canadian Govern ment, despatch splendid steamers to QuebLe or Port land, which call at the north of Ireland on both the homeward and the outward voyages ; while Messrs. Guion and Co. and the National Steamship Com pany have powerfal steam fleets plying between Liverpool and New York, the vessels of the former company sailing from the Mersey on Saturdays, and those of the latter on Wednes days, and touching, when practicable, at Queens town. There are also recently established lines of steamers plying to Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans from Liverpool ; but these steamers, like those of the Guion and National Companies, can only carry letters at the ordinary ship rates. The Cunard Company, in addition to their regular " mail" line sailing for New York every Saturday, will despatch extra steamers on Tuesday to New York, and also to Boston; and these first-class vessels (not being under contract) also carry letters at the ordinary ship rates, receiving ld. for each; but the Cunard Company, in respect of these extra vessels, come under no possible obligations or penalties, and merely promise to sail them with tolerable regula rity, making the voyage in about 12 days. It will thus be seen that there is now rather more than daily correspondence between Liverpool and New York, &c.—Livcrpool Albion. Prince and Princess Christian, attended by Lady Susan Melville, arrived at Frogmore on Saturday from visiting the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. His Serene Highness and her Royal Highness the Prince and Princess of Teck will shortly honour the Earl Brownlow and Lady Marian Alford with a visit at Belton, near Grantham• The Philo-Dramatic Society gave their eleventh entertainment at the "Polygraphic Hall" on the 28th ult., before a fashionable and enthusiastic audience, the performance commencing with the farce " Retained for the Defence," followed by the drama " The Wreck Ashore," and concluding with the farce " The Unfinished Gentle man." The pieces worn placed upon the stage effectually, the dresses and accessories were really capital, the per formers wore well up in their different parts ; and all contributed, in a greater or less degree, to the real success of a very clever amateur performance.

The country markets held on Saturday wore rathe scantily supplied with wheat, which sold steadily at full prices to a slight advance. Barley, oats, beans, peas, and flour commanded previous rates. On the Continent wheat and most other kinds of pro duce continue in fair request. In America both wheat and flour have tended upwards, owing to the closing of the canal navigation. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise and by laud carriage, were only mode rate and iu very middling condition. Selected samples were taken off slowly at. last Monday's currency; but low and damp qual:ties met a h?avy inquiry at irregular quo tations. We were well upplie:l with foreign wheat. Sales pro gressed slowly ; nevertholese, no change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atter.. Lion. Fine malting barley sold steadily, at full quotations; but grinding and distilling sorts ruled inactive at late rates. No change took place hi the value of malt, the supply of which was good. Oats—the show of which was tolerably good—moved off freely, at very full prices. The sale for beans was steady, at prices equal to Monday last. Peas commanded full currencies, with a fair inquiry. We have to report a slow sale for flour. In prices, how• ever, very little change took place. Seeds and cakes commanded very little attention. CURRENCY rEu IMP.

There was a falling off in the supply of foreign sorts on sale here this morning. Nevertheless the demand ruled inactive, and the value of beasts gave way 2d por Blbs. Fresh up from our own grazing districts as well as from Scotland the arrivals of beasts were on the increase, and in very prime condition. The attendance of butchers was only moderate, awl the demand for all breeds of beasts was very inactive, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,500 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England 550 various breeds, from Scotland 291 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 180 oxen, cows, &c. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep. Most breeds came to hand, in fair average quality. Primo Downs and half-brads were in moderate request, at full prices —viz., from 4s. 10d. to ss. per 81bs ; but most other breeds moved off slowly, on rather easier terms. The few calves in the market mot a slow inquiry a' about stationary prices. We have no change to notice in the valuo of pigs. The pork trade was heavy.

AWARD OF TILE PRIZP_S THIS DAY. The Great Christmas Exhibition of the Smith.. field Cattle Club commenced to-day at the Agri cultural Ilall. The number of beasts exhibited greatly exceeded that of I:st year; and, in the opinion of those competent to form an opinion, the show this year caine up to the average. One of the notable facts we have to record is that her Majesty the gteen this year exhibited in her own name, and, as will be seen, carried off a large number of prizes. The arrangements of the club, on this the private view, prevented an inspection of the stock, owing to the reporters being confined to the gal leries, so we have to content ourselves with merely on this occasion to give the names of the successful competitors. The judges were as follows :—Cattle : G. Baker, Orwell Park, Ipswich ; Chas. Randell, Chadbury, Evesham ; C. Vevers, Leominster ; William Torr, Aylesbury Manor ; Edward Bowley, Siddington House ; and George Drewry, Holler Grange, Lancashire. Sheep : T. Brown, Marham ; Benj.

So brilliant has been the success of Offenbach's "Robin son Crusoe" at the Opera Comique, and so enthusiastic have been the praises awarded it, some courage is required to speak the truth concerning it. Yet, in fact, it has been much overpraised. It is far from the best of Offenbach's works A few very sparkling'and brilliant morccaux it contains. As a work, however, it is long, pretentious, and empty. " Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much pleasure we recommend to our readers the Pain Killer. We speak from our own observation and experience when we say that it removes pain as if by magic from all parts of tho body, and is one of the best medLinos in use for checking diarrhma and removing the premonitory symptoms of cholera. It is used both internally and externally, with the best effects, and none who have once tried it would willingly be without it constantly in their houses."— Cincinnati Evening Nonpariel, July 15,1800.—None genuine without the trade mark of Perry Davis and Son, PAIN KILLER, engraved on the Government stamp.

Mr. Taylor said that the prisoner had been in his employ for about nine months as potman, and great confidence was placed in him. On Thursday night last he (prosecutor) went to bed at nine o'clock, and about an hour afterwards he was informed by his wife that the prisoner had left, and that £lO, which was placed in the bar, was gone. He gave infor mation to the police, and on Saturday, the priso n e r being then in custody, he went to the station in George-street and charged him with robbing him. George Ferris, barman to the prosecutor, said that in consequence of information which reached ' him he went to a public-house in Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, and saw the prisoner there sitting at a table in the parlour. He sent for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. He did not charge the prisoner with stealing Mr. Taylor's money, but with taking a coat belonging to him (witness) away with him. On the way to the station the prisoner put his hand into his pocket, and thinking he was going to take something out, he watched him, and saw him take a purse from his pocket and throw it away, and on picking it up he found it to contain £7 10s. in gold and 51. 6d. in silver. The prisoner asked him not to "round" (say anything) about the prisoner, but to give it to him back, and afterwards told him that he had been to Deptford to get a ves sel for Australia, and that a person there gave him the money, and he gave the person his (witness's) coat. Police constable Irwin gave similar evidence to the previous witness, and Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Arnold—Very candid, certainly. Police constable 285 B proved that the prisoner had been loitering about on Wednesday and the three following nights, and was examining the goods. Prisoner—l was examining the goods—what of that ? Mr. Arnold—You told Mrs. Chapman you meant to rob her. Inspector Arnold—When the prisoner was asked his description at the station-house he said he was a thief, and got his living by thieving. Mr. Arnold—What do you say ? Prisoner—That's quite true.

Despite the inclement weather on Saturday last there was a good attendance at Mr. Russsell's grounds, and a capital afternoon's sport took place. First came the raco between Leftley and Stamp.—Both hail from Woolwich, and they ran 200 yards for £5 aside. The betting was 6to 4 on Leftley They went by mutual consent, and got off at the third attempt, Stamp gaining three yards the best of the start, notwithstanding which advantage Leftley, who ran most gamely, caught his opponent 50 yards from home, and won a flue race by half a yard. Everson and Cooper, both of Woolwich, next ran 120 yards for £6. They went by report of pistol, Everson with the best of the start. They cannoned two or three times, when Everson came in first by half a yard. An appeal of foul was male by Cooper; but as both were equally in fault, tho referee, amidst groat uproar, awarded the stakes to Everson. The 120 Yards Handicap.—Por a silver watch, and money prizes for second and third, given by Mr. E. Parker. The competitors ran in heats, tho first being won by E. Noyce, 22 yards start, after a good race, by throe-quarters of a yard; Martoy, 16, second; Solrac, 10, close up, third. Second Beat.—C. Allen, 22, won by two yards; A.

The articles stipulated that neither athlete should exceed 13st., and both got them selves well within weight. The arrangements made by Mr. J. Chadwick, the proprietor of the ground, were first rate, and there was a numerous attendance of spectators to witness the contest, which, after a couple of well-contested bouts, ended in another victory for Bentley, the time being 22 min. 14 sec.
