In the gene ra l discount market there is rather more inquiry for accommodation, and bankers and bill brokers are demanding former rates, the .current quotations for the negotiation of first-class short -dated paper being now 1i to per cent. The Nineveh is announced as having sailed from Sydney with gold to the amount Of about £95,000. In the Corn Market this morning there has been a very limited attendance, and both home-grown and foreign wheat met a dull sale, at barely last Monday's current rates. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady, at 20 20i ex div. ; and the Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds at 184 191. The New Honduras Loan is steady, at 4 4 prem.

At Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery de partments have been moderately active, ,, but few transactions have been entered into in lace, and prices generally remain depressed. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton complaints are general as to the depressed state of trade, as the large orders usually received at this period of the year have generally been on an exceedingly limited scale. Some hopes, however, are entertained of a fair demand ere long from the -United States. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts throughout the past week has been rather unsatisfactory. At Manchester dulness has pre vailed in all departments, and, although spinners and manufacturers have reduced prices, there have been f ew Bradford , buyers. I n th e woollen districts of Leeds, and Hudd ers fi e ld no mater i al change can be r eported. S pr i ng fabrics, however, continue to be inquired for to a fair extent. Advises from Bombay state that the Bombay Governme nt repudiat e d a ll respons i bil i ty in the losse s sust a i ned by shareholders of the Bank of tion abay, and refused compensation of any sort. The ne w Bank is not regarded with much interest at present ; the business has been profitable, and the assets continue to be of the most unexceptionable character. Messrs ' VV. J. and H. Thompson, in their tea !iircular, state as follows :--Since the date of our a -s . t on the 9th i nst. the same quiet tone has pervaded the tea market.

In conformity with a recent custom that may now be regarded as established on national consent and approval, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to my fellow-citizens that Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of November next, be set apart and observed throughout the Republic as a day of national thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty Ruler of Nation; with whom aro dominion and fear, who maketh peace in His high places. Resting and refraining from secular labours on that day, let us reverently and devOutly give thanks to our Hea venly Father for the mercies and blessings with which He has crowned the new closing year. Especially let us re member that He has covered our land, through all its ex tent, with greatly needed and very abundant harvests, that He has caused industry to prosper, not only in our fields, but also in our workshops, in our mines, and in our forests. Ho has permitted us to multiply ship upon our lakes and rivers and upon the high seas, and at the same time to extend our iron roads so far into the secluded places of the continent as to guarantee speedy overland intercourse between the two oceans. Ho has inclined our hearts to turn away from domestic contentions and com motions, consequent upon a distracting and desolating civil war, and to walk more and more in the ancient ways of loyalty, conciliation, and brotherly love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts with which we have established new and important commercial treaties with foreign na tions, while we have at the same time strengthened our national defences and greatly enlarged our national borders. While thus rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tri bute of national praise and thanksgiving which is so justly due to Almighty God, let us not fail to implore him that the same divine protection and care which we have hitherto so undeservedly and yet so constantly enjoyed, may be continued to our country and our people throughout all their generations for ever. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and eaased the seal of the United States to be affixed. [L.S.] Done at the city of Washington, this 26th day of October, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the Ninety-second. By the President, ANDREW J 3IMON. William H. Seward, Secretary of State. HARE-HUNTING V. FOX-11UNTING.—In these days of thoroughbred horses, fast hounds, and enormous fields, the hare would indeed be but a poor substitute for the fox. The circle running of the former would give the hounds no opportunity of spread-eagling the field, and of getting away from the numerous cortege that now-a-days follow them to the meet. Hare-hunting, however, is use ful, if only as a nursery for the grander sport ; and looking at it as such, fox-hunters should not abuse it and cry it down as we so often hear them do ; for were it not for the slow hunting currant jellies, hunters would not be able to get that schooling„ in company with others, that makes them so steady and useful when called on to join the bolder chace. Indeed, I have often remarked that those riders who occasionally join the thistle-whippers (as hare hunters are contemptuously called), are to be seen in the fox- hunting field among the foremost, and possess by far the beet eye fora country.-02 a Week. rHE SUN, LON DON, MONDAY EVEN ING, N OVEM BE R 18, 1 SHARE LlST.—This Day.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly on rather lower terms. Barley was fully is per quarter lower, and the value of other kinds of produce Lad a drooping tendency. The Continental markets continue firm for most descrip tions of grain. In America an extensive business is still passing in wheat and flour on English account. The stocks in warehouse are on the increase. The imports into Loudon last week were :-36 321 quarters of wheat, 2,465 barley, 31,827 oats, 27 rye, 1,891 beaus, 501 peas, 312 tares, 6,292 linseed, 16,328 rape seed, 200 maize, 575 sundries, and 19,299 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, but in fair average condition. The attend ance of millers was limited, and the demand for both red and white qualities was very inactive. In prices, however, compared with Monday last, very little change took place. With foreign wheat we were well but not to say heavily supplied. In all kinds sales progressed slowly at last week's currency. I❑ floating cargoes of grain the transactions were ou very moderate scale. There was a fair average quantity of barley on offer. Selected samples moved off slowly, at late currencies. ; but grinding and distilling sorts gave way ls. to 2s. per quarter. We have to report a dull salo for malt, tho supply of which was moderate, at barely stationary prices. Oats were again rather cheaper, owing to tho heavy importations. Beans met a dull inquiry ; neverthelss late rates wore supported. The E ale for peas was very inactive on former terms. The flour trade was in a sluggish state. Country marks and inferior foreign sold on easier terms. Agricultural seods were a slow inquiry at late rates, Linseed, rapeseed, and cakes ruled about stationary. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was about an average supply of foreign stock here to-day, and sales progressed slowly at, in some in stances, reduced currencies. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, whilst the general quality of tho stock was good. For all breeds the demand was very inactive at prices barely equal to Monday last. The general top figure for Scots and crosses was 4s 10d por 8 lbs. 1 From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.. shire we received about 1,950 short horns, etc.; from other parts of England, GGO various breeds; from Scotland, 17 Scots and crosses; •ad from Ireland, 130 oxen, cows, etc. The show of sheep in the pens was only moderate, but the quality of most breeds was good. Even the bast Downs and half-breds moved off heavily, and the prices current on this day se'nnight wero with difficulty sup ported. The highest quotation was 4s 10d par 81bs. We have to report a heavy sale for calves on rather lower terms—viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per Blbs. The supply was rather limited. The inquiry for pigs was very limited, and the quota tions were with difficulty supported. Prices ranged from 3s 4d to 4s 2d per Sibs.

PARIS, Nov. 18. The French Chambers were opened to-day by the Emperor in person, who delivered the following speech : • Messieurs les Senators— Messieurs les Deputies-- The necessity of resuming the interrupted discus sion of important laws has obliged me to call you together earlier than usual. Recent events have further caused me to experience the wish of avail ing myself of your sagacity and your assistance. Since you separated vague disquietudes have arisen to affect the public mind in Europe, and to restrict the movements of industry and commercial transactions in all quarters. Notwithstanding the declarations of my Government, which has never varied in its pacific attitude, the belief has been spread that any modification in the internal system of Gerviany must become a cause of conflict. This state of uncertainty could not endure longer. It is neces sary to accept frankly the changes that have taken place upon the other side of the Rhine to pro claim that so long as our interests and our dignity shall not be threatened we will not interfere in the transformations effected by the wish of the popula tion. The disquiet that has been displayed is difficult of explanation at a period in which France has offered to the world the most imposing spectacle of conciliation and of peace. The Universal Exhibition, where nearly all the Sovereigns of Europe have attended, and where the representatives of the labouring classes of all countries have met, has drawn closer the ties of fraternity between the nations. It has disappeared, but its traces will leave a deep impression upon our age, for if, after having majestically risen, the Ex hibition has only shone with momentary brilliance, it has destroyed for ever a past of prejudices and of errors. The shackles of labour and of intelligence, the harriers between the different peoples as well as the different classes, international hatreds—these are what the Exhibition has cast behind it. These incontestable pledges of concord do not allow us to dispense with improving the military institutions of France. It is the imperious duty of every Govern ment to follow progress, independently of circum stances, in all the elinnents which constitute the strength of a country, and it is for a necessity to bring to perfection our It litary organisation, as well as our weapons and our navy. '1 he project of law presented to the Legislative Body divided equally between all citizens the charges of recruitment. That system has appeared too absolute ; measures have been adopted to diminish the bearing. Since then I have thought it advisable to submit this im portant question to further consideration. In fact, this difficult problem cannot be too carefully inves tigated, as it touches upon such great and contra dictory interests. My Government will propose new arrangements to you, which are only simple modifications of the laws of 1832, but which achieve the object I have always had in view, the reduction of the effective strength of the army during peace, and its increase during time of war. You will examine them, as also the organisation of the National Guard Mobile, under the impression of that patriotic idea that the stronger we shall be the more certain will be the assurance of peace. That peace which it is the wish of us all to preserve seemed for a moment in danger. Revolutionary agitations, prepared in the broad daylight, threat ened the Pontifical States. The Convention of the 15th September not having been carried out, I have been compelled once again to send our troops to Rome, and to protect the Power of the Holy Sec by repulsing the invaders. Our conduct could not partake of anything hostile to the unity and inde pendence of Italy, and that nation, for a moment surprised, has not been long in understanding the dangers which these revolutionary manifestations caused to the monarchical principle and to Euro pean order. Calm is now almost entirely re-established in the States of the Pope, and we may calculate the proxi mate time when our troops will be recalled home. For us the Convention of September 15 exists as long as it is not replaced by a new international act. The relations of Italy to the Holy See inte rest the whole of Europe, and we have proposed to the Powers to settle these relations at a Conference, and thus to prevent new complications. Attention has been turned to the Eastern ques tion, from which, nevertheless, the conciliatory spirit of the Powers removes every irritating character. If some differences of opinion have existed between them as to the means of bringing about the pacification of Crete, I am happy to announce that they are all agreed upon two principal points, viz.—the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and the ameliora tion of the conditions of the Christians. Foreign politics permit us, therefore, to devote all our efforts to domestic improvements. Since your last session universal suffrage has been called upon to elect a third of the members of the Couseils Generaux. These elections, carried out with calm ness and independence, have everywhere demon strated the good feeli❑g of the populations. The journey I have made with the Empress in the cast and North of France has afforded the opportunity fo: r manifestations of sympathy which have touched me profoundly. I have been able to ascertain once more that nothing has been able to shake the cond.- deuce the people have placed in me and the attachment they entertain towards my dynasty. For my part I labour incessantly to anticipate its wishes. The completion of connecting roads was required by those agricultural classes of whom you are the enlightened representatives. It was an act of jus tice, I should almost say of gratitude, to satisfy this want, and an inquiry upon a large scale is preparing its solution. It will be easy for you, in concert with my Government, to assure the success of this great measure. The situation is undoubtedly not free from some embarrassments. In industrial and commercial ac- tivity has slackened. This uneasiness is general in Europe, and is in great part duo W apprehensions time upon the common sense of the country, in the progress of public morality, in firmness, in suppression when required, and in the energy and authority of the ruling power. Let us then follow up the work which we have undertaken together ; for fifteen years we have shared the same idea, to uphold above controversies and hostile passions our fundamental laws, which the popular voice has sanctioned. But at the same time to develope our liberal institutions without weakening the principle of authority. Let us not cease to spread around us the comforts of life by the prompt completion of our means of communication, to multiply the means of instruction; to render access to justice less expensive by simplifying our mode of proce dure, to adopt every measure of a nature to render prosperous the social condition of the great masses. If, with me, you become convinced that th path is that of real progress and of civilisation let us continue to advance in that agreement of views and sentiments which is a precious guarantee of the public welfare. You will, I trust, vote the laws which will be submitted to you. They will contribute to the greatness and to the wealth of the country. For my part you may rest assured that I will uphold firmly and strongly the power which has been conferred upon me—for neither obstacles nor unjust opposition will shake my cou - rage or my faith in the future. A DEPU7ATION TO THE HOME SECRE. TARY.-7HIS DAY. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. It will be recollected that, at the conclusion of the meeting yesterday, which was held on Clerken well-green, for the purpose of petitioning the Home Secretary to grant a remission of the capital sen tence now pending over the prisoners concerned in the murder of Sergeant Brett at Manchester, it was resolved that a deputation should wait upon that gentleman at the Home Office for the purpose of presenting and supporting this petition. Accord ingly this afternoon a number of persons presented themselves outside that building, claiming to be the delegates from the meeting of yesterday. Their endeavour, however, to obtain an interview with Mr. Hardy was unavailing, for that gentleman was either pre-occupied or had not had sufficient notice of their visit, as orders were issued that they should not be admitted. On this fact being announced to them they became very excited, and several of them expressed their determination to force their way into the right hon. gentleman's presence. This was, _ _ however, prevented by a number of constables who were on duty, and after much useless grumbling and threatening this singular deputation gradually dispersed without having obtained any other object than that of creating an obstruction on the pavement outside the Home-office and filling the entrance-hall of that building. LAW INT ELLICiaNCE.--This Day COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. DARBY V. BEALES AND OTHERS. This was an action which lasted during the whole of four days at th 3 first sitting of the pre sent term, when it will be remembered that the plaintiff, Darby, obtained a verdict of £5 damages, and £l5O as salary due to him as secretary of the proposed New Reform Club. Mr. Quain, Q.C., moved thin morning for a rule nisi to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection, and also that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. He said that the great point which affected the decision of the jury was, whether there had been any formation of the club or pot, that was, whether it had ever been called into existence, and he, on the part of the defen 's, contended that it had not, and in that event the whole of the conditions under which Mr. Darby claimed fell to the ground. The learned coun sel then went into a narrative of what he termed the mis-statements of the plaintiff, and quoted the minutes of the meeting, one of which stated that Mr. Darby was to have £4OO a year salary, hut only on condition that the club was formed and numbered 200 members, and without this minimum no expenses were to be incurred. He now contended that, instead of Mr. Darby claiming compensation and a salary, he had incurred ex penses which would have to be liquidated by the defendants. On these grounds he asked for a new trial. After hearing Mr. Quain at considerable length he Court grantel a rule nisi on two points. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. FERGUSON V. THE WASIIOE UNITED CONSOLIDATED GOLD AND SILVER WASHING COMPANY. This was a peculiar case, specially ordered to be argued before this Court from a case stated at nisi Arius. It was an action brought by Mr. Fergu son, a merchant engaged in mining matters, against the Washoe Company for a breach of their engage ment. According to the terms of the contract regulat ing the conduct of the company, the directors were bound to allot on the reception a certain deposit of so many shares to the would-be purchaser, and on that person holding 500 shares he was entitled to I 166 shares beyond, and if he had 700 shares 213 more, it appeared that Mr. Fergusaon had sent to the company a cheque for £5OO, being a deposit of £1 per share for 500 shares, but although the company had received the money, yet at a general meeting they had withdrawn the allot ment of shares, and the application had been treated as withdrawn. It was now asked of the court-Ist, for compensation for the appropriation of £5OO and the non-allotment of shares ; and 2dly, to say whether the plaintiff ought to hare the 700 and 500 shares placed to his credit. The Lord Chief Baron considered that £5OO ought to have been paid into court. Mr. Hannon said that the first step to be taken was for the creditors to demand payment of the £5OO, and he had then the option, if there was mosey in hand, either of taking the money on 100 paid-up shares or 500 shares at £l. The Court took time to consider. 6HIPP.LNG INTELLIGENCII—This Day. GLATBSEXD, Monday Morning. Wind N.E.; fine.

The market opens steadily at unchanged rates, but rather better tone. Sales probably 10,000 bales. The Puke of Roxburghe has arrived at the Clareudou Betel from Elvers-Captle, which the good understanding prevailing between the Powers will cause to disappear. The harvest has not been good, and dearness was inevitable, but free trade can alone secure supplies and lower prices. If these various causes prevent the revenue com pletely balancing the estimates of the Budget, the provisions of the laws of finance will not be modi fied, and we may be allowed to foresee the period when a reduction of taxation may be taken into consideration. This session will be chiefly devoted to the examination of the laws of which I took the initiative in the month of January last. The time that has elapsed since then has not altered my conviction respecting the utility of those re forms ; dou,tlcss the introduction of these new liberties exposes the public mind to ex citement and to dangeroui impulses, but to render them powerless, I count at the same TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING.

The principal feature of Thursday's programme is the Great Midland Counties Handicap, and although there are no less than sixty-one subscribers, the race lays in a small compass, as a good many of them can have uo chance frcm the Liverpool and Shrewsbury running, and others cannot stay the distance (two miles.) Sundeolah and Caithness are best in of the top weights, Zenobia. and Steamboat of the middle division, and of those under Gst Rabbit Trap, Bandmaster, and New Guinea have nothing to complain of. It is very uncertain whether Mr. Hobson's horse will start, therwise I should give him the preference, and with that proviso CAITHNESS and NEW GUINEA must represent my interests. The latter filly beat Man drake in the Border Handicap at Kelso over the same distance of ground, and although it was not a good per formance, as the Liverpool Cup winner was giving her 231 b, it is a proof she can stay. The acceptances for the Third Nursery Free Handicap are not to be signified until to-morrow, and should PATRICIAN be amongst them, I think he would be worth backing. I do not kcow sufficient of the recent form of the animals ongiged in tho Steeple chase to say anything about them. A FRESH MAN. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. The following appointments wore made at tho Admiralty Lis afternoon : Assistant Surgeons.—Dr. G. V. Wright to the Orontes, John P. Way to the Medusa, Thomas H. Knott (acting) t.) the Asia. Midshipman -IJ. R. Johnstone (navigating), additional, :o the Victory, for disposal. CENTRAT., CitiMINAL COUR, OLD COURT. The November Sessions of this Court commenced to-day before the Lord Mayor and Recirder, the number of prisoners for trial being 52 males and 7 females. The Recorder, in charging the jury, remarked upo❑ the fact that there was only one case in which human life had been sacrificed; one in which a German, named Ernest Roder, accused of the murder of the child of a woman with whom he cohabited at Woolwich. The case of Edgeley, the city mer chant, charged with defrauding the Leeds Bank of £lOO,OOO, was also adj ourned to these sessions. It will be remembered that the trial was postponed from the October sessions on account of the absence of Mr. Greenland, the manager of the Leeds Bank, through whose intrumentality the money was ad vanced to the defendant, and who is at present at Geneva. It is doubtful whether he will be in attend ance at these sessions, and as the counsel for the defence rely upon his evidence to show that there was no fraud on the part of Mr. Elgeley in the transaction, it is probable that, if he be still absent, the trial may be again postponed. Another case of considerable importance was the charge against Mr. Robert Short Waters, the former steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, of having embezzled and applied to his own use a large sum of money belonging to the noble earl, and which he hal received on his account in his capacity of steward. Thera was a charge of a very serious nature against a late police-constable named Richard S:nith, of having, with another person, wilfully set fire to premises that were on his beat while on duty, either 'or the purpose of showing his supposed diligence, he having been the first parson who gave the alarm, or with some other mischievous object. There was also a charge of a similar character against a person named Richard Morris, who kept a public-house at the east end of the town, and who is accused of having attempted to destroy his premises by igniting a quantity of gunpowder in a tin-case by means of a fuse attached to it. The powder ex ploded, but fortunately without doing any serious mischief, and the offence imputed to the prisoner was, that he wilfully caused the explosion, which might have been attended with the most disastrous results. There were several cases of forgery, and among them was one of a very peculiar character against a young man of fashionable appear ance, named Walter White, who was said to ba very respectably connected, and who was charged with having become associated with some, of the stylish prostitutes living at the West-end, and giving them cheques for different amounts, re. ceiving money in change, the cheques turning out to be utterly worthless. There are no less than four charges of this description against the prisoner, and he appears to have carried a a regular system of fraud of the kind referred to upon " ladies" of this particular class. The case of the fashionable swindler calling herself the Hon. Geraldine Maurice and Lady Maurice, which was postponed from the previous sessions, will also come on at these sessions. The grand jury having returned, the trials shortly afterwards commenced, the first being the case of Eustace and another, who stood charged with the unlawful possession of a quantity of carpet. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge re turned to Gloucester House on Saturday evening. from a visit to Lord and Lady Londesborough, at Grimston Park, Yorkshire. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Marchioness of Abercorn have arrived at Chester field House from Shughorough, the E Lrl of Lichfield's seat in Staffordshire. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have ar rived at Stafford House, St. James's. Mrs. Disraeli, the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is suffering from an attack of conge.stion of the lungs; arising from cold caught ou.her journey home from Scotland. Dr. Cowell and Dr. Gull have been in attendance. The medical report last night was rathor more favourable. MADAME MIRA3ION.—Aruong the passengers who have just arrived at St. Nazaire by the Etoamer Louisiane is Madame Miramon, widow of the Mexican general who was shot with the Emperor Maximilian at Queretaro. She intends to reside in France with her children. i_SENTENCE UPON THE FENIAN PRISONERS IN IRE LAND.—DuBLIN, Saturday.—Warren and Halpin were sen tenced to-day to fifteen years' penal servitude each, Cos tello to twelve years. The latter called God to witness his innocence; the others spoke in a defiant tone. Tho Leamington and Warwickshire Hunt Meeting, under the management of Mr. S. Merry, will monopolise four days of the present 'week—commencing to-morrow (Tuesday). Those animals which take my fancy most for the Nursery Handicap aro Chivalry 7st 91b, Mariner Gst 101 b, Kettleholder Gst 71b, and Manton, sst 101 b ; and I think whichever carries Mr. Brayley's coIours—MARINER or lfAmoN—will win, especially if he selects the latter and engages a jockey like Butler to ride him. The Selling Nursery Handicap is also to be decided on the first day, and for that event LADY GLENDORA looks well in. She is a nice-looking filly, by St.Albans, and beat a large field for the Innkeepers' Plate at Harrow a short time ago. There are a large number of entries for the Handicap of 5 sovs each, of which I give the preference to FREEM.:SON and COLUMBINE. Of the thirty-three nominations for the Don nington Handicap Queen of Trumps and Jeannie Dean; both in Wadlow's stable, are decidedly best in, but they have not shown good form lately, and have several other dangerous competitors to meet. Oecrops is not out of the race, and there are a dozen others who look to have a chance on paper; but as he has once or twice proved him self a good horse over a short course, my recommendation must be WILD MOOR. 20 st at too SSEB, 100 100 100 all 100 100 1101 I 101 110 f 1 Hi i 654 SS 6 / ilki I 'Il:In.
