CANDLES. —If you do not want your candles. exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning, buy " PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITIN E," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM." or "BELMONT WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraffin candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Parafline, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Parable Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, EALING STEEPLECHASES—FRIDAY. The weather to-day presented a strong contrast to that of yesterday, being fine and clear, but the attendance was not so large, although an interesting day's sport was set for decision. Helice, carrying the top weight in the Town Plato, won very easily, showing considerable improvement on her form of yesterday, when she refused the first fence. Lawrence achieved another victory, defeating a numerous - - - - • field in the Half-bred Hunters' Stakes ; and Leotard upset a warm favourite in Lovo in a Mist for the Selling Handl- cap. The great race of the meeting, the Ealing and South COuntry Steeplechase, produced a field of eight runners. of whom Pixie was made the favourite; but he tired in the dirt half a mile from home, and Garus and Captain Cross tree finished a fine race home, the Duke's representative winning cleverly at the finish.

Before reaching the meadows Puebla was pulled up, and Helice joined Trap, who were about ten lengths in the rear of Tom Coke. A mile from home Page brought Joker out of the rear, taking his place with Helice, whom he headed in a few strides, but falling at the ditch-jump, Helice was enabled to get up, and depriving Tom Coke of the lead half a mile from home came on with a clear ad vantage, but Tom Coke, decreasing the distance descend ing the hill, was only defeated by a length. Hopvine was a bad third ; Brandy Apple cantered in fourth ; none of the others passed the post, Trap and Joker walking to the en closure some time afterwards.

Notwithstanding the unfavourable time of the year for disposing of thorough bred racing stock, steeplechase horses, hunters, Src., Mr. Edmond Tattersall offered for sale at Knightsbridge on Monday last no fewer than 115 lots, including some remarkable grand specimens for cross country work, whilst Mr. J. Merry sent to the hammer 12 cast-offs from his racing stud by the following celebrated sires :—Lord of the Isles, Thormanby, Dundee, Wild Dayrell, and Stockwell, and the sale attracted a large at tendance of hunting men, trainers, and others. Weather bound and Marengo, two remarkably good-looking horses for cross-country work, the propery of Mr. Fermin, were eagerly sought after, but after a sharp competition, Mr. Toynbco secured the former for 220 guineas, and Mr. Yates, a capital judge of a steeplechase horse, obtained Marengo very cheap at 200 guineas, and the horse will jon his stud. Mr. Merry's cast-offs were an exceeding good-looking lot of well-bred animals, in blooming health and splendid condition. Liddington, by Orlando out of Lady Roden, 5 yrs, so highly thought of for the Derby in 1865, is a very good looking blood-like horse all through, but being now very musical, and his reserved price being 400 gs, he was not sold; neither was Primate, by St. Albans out of Ellen Middleton (Wildpayrell's dam). Mirella, by Gamma di Vergy, 4 yrs, a fashionable, clever-shaped brown mare, apparently perfectly sound, went cheap to Mr: Graham at 200 guineas. A chestnut colt by Thormanby out of Cor delia, 3 yrs, standing nearly 16 hands high, with plenty of bone and full of quality, bat completely gone in his near fore leg, was bought by Mr. Blenkirou for 140 gs, and we should say the colt will be added to his list of stallions. A wiry brown filly by Malcolm out of Manoeuvre, 3 yrs, with quick action, but rather light in substance, made 165 gs. A slashing big brown filly, of immense length, by Dundee out of Sunbeam, Mr. Blenkiron snapped up a bargain a t 150 gs. S ummert ime, a handsome dark brown horse byS tock well out of Summerside, 4 yrs, of great bone and substance all through, bat disfigured from being fired on bath hocks, was sold for steeplechase purposes to Mr. R. Watts for 200 gs. A brown colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phemny, 3 yrs, though light of bone, is a wiry customer, but he is said to be - troubled with the slows ; he, however, was sold well at 105 gs. Dunstaffnage, a brown colt by Lord of the Isles out of, Crookshank, 3 yrs, has, however, entity hocks, and went for 35 gs. A bay filly by Dundee out of Blanche of Middlobie, a small, compact, wiry, racing-like filly, standing on very upright joints, realised 50 gs. Mr. Clayton then obtained for 110 gs. a very useful blool-like filly, though somewhat light in character, by Lord of the Isles out of Lady Lurewell, 2 yrs. The last of the draft brought before the auctioneer was au uncommon plain filly by Lord of the Isles out of the celebrated Catherine Hayes, who brought her full value, 25 gs. During the afternoon the following horses were sold : Day roll, by W ild Dayrell—Lady Evelyn, 5 yrs, which Lord Howth gave GO gs. for. Usher, a handsome chestnut _ _ horse, by Chatham, out of the Laurel mare, likely to make a capital country stallion, though rather noisy, went cheap to Mr. Seabrook at 25gs. Thorn, 2 yrs, by Knight of the Thistle out of Celia, a smart, clever shaped, wiry, useful colt, went a bargain to Lord Howth at 60gs. Prodigal, a clever shaped bay gelding, by Stockwell out of StrayaNN ay, 3 yrs, formerly in John Day's stable, though perfectly sound, only brought 70gs. The stallion Student, by Chatham out of Oxonian's dam, by Laurel, being now almost worthless, only realised sgs. A bay colt by .Drog heda out of Lady Mary, by Orlando, 2 yrs, being all to pieces, brought but 126 shillings. Red Deer, by Boynton, dam by Black Strap, a stout, fashionable, and clever shaped hunter, went considerably below his value, 110 gs. Many other very sound, useful looking hunters were also dis posed of. The following well known steeplechase horses were brought to the hammer, but were bought in :—Com bertou, King Alfred (brother to the last named), Columbia, by Woolwich (so highly thought of for the Grand Na tional Chase last year, but who has been deeply fired in both fore legs), and Temple Bar.

The martello tower at Fota, near Queenstow3s, was attacked on Thursday night by an armed band with blackened faces, who surprised the three gunners in charge, and seized a quantity of arms and ammunition. It is sup posed that the party landed on the strand near the tower. Boats filled with armed men were reported to have been seen passing out of Cork harbour on Monday evening. The Research and Helicon went in pursuit, but nothing was heard of the boats. Some phosphoric compound was thrown into the late letter receiving box in the General Post Office, Dublin, and several letters were destroyed. The police are said to have a clue to the discovery of the perpetrators. Summonses have been issued against Mr. A. M. Sullivan, of the Ncttion, and others at suit of the Attorney-General, for taking part in the late procession. Therare to appear on Monday. Yesterday morning, James Canavan, aged 25, described as a ship engineer, was brought before the Mayor and other magistrates, at the Guildhall, Southampton, and charged with attempting to administer a Fenian oath to Timothy Ahern, a private in the 2nd battalion of the 60th Rifles, stationed at Marchwood. The evidence produced went to shew that Ahern and a comrade were drinking the previous evening in a public house in Bridge - street, where they saw Canavan and another man. On leaving the house the two sol diers were followed by the prisoner, who asked Ahern, who had had some drink, but was not drunk, if he was an Irishmen. He said he was, and Canavan then asked if he would take the Fenian oath, and on his replying no, he deliberately knocked Ahern down. lie got up, and after a short time he met his corporal, and they together went in search of the suspected Fenian, and meeting him in the High-street, gave him into custody of Police-sergeant Attrill, who had his work cut out to keep Canavan from the attack of several of the Rifle Brigade, who had by that time joined Ahern. The prisoner, it further appeared, is a fourth engineer in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, and was invalided home from India about five months since. He was remanded till Wednesday. A man named Morley, suspected of being activeiyengagea in the Fenian conspiracy, has been apprehended at Lea mington by Mr. Superintendent John Lund. A letter respecting the Fenian movement was found in his posses sion. He admitted being a Fenian. At present the police do not feel disposed to reveal all they know of his antecedents. Three men were arrested in Killarney yesterday under the Lord Lieutenant's warrant, on a charge of being con cerned in treasonable practices. Their names are John J. Healy, secretary to the Funeral Prce:ssion Committee of Killarney ; John D. O'Connor, clerk in a drapery esta blishment ; and Patrick O'Sullivan, also assistant in a drapery establishment. The last mentioned was a Crown witness at the last Kerry Assizes. The men were arrested at a little before eleven o'clock, and were immediately sent on to the county gaol, arriving at Tralee by the 12.5 p.m. train, in charge of a number of the Killarney constabu lary. The whole matter was- conducted with the utmost secrecy and dispatch, and was not at all expected by those who were arrested. • The arrests created the greatest con sternation among those connected with the intended fune ral procession in Trace. LAW AND POLICE. THE PALESTINE EXPLORATION FUND.--Uenry Good enough, a messenger at the Crystal Palace, was brought up at the Lambeth Police-court on remand, charged with stealing £1 ls., a post-office order for £2 25., and a batch of cheques, representing a sum of nearly £7O, the moneys of the Palestine Exploration Fund, of which Mr. Groves, the secretary of the Crystal Palace Company, is the honorary secretary. The prisoner was entrusted with the money and cheques mentioned to pay into the Union Bank of London, and in consequence of a communication in respect of some sums previously entrusted to the prisoner with the same object, and which had not been accounted for, the prisoner was taken to the bank, but did not succeed in identifying the clerk to whom he alleged he had paid in the money, and consequently he was given into custody. Since the remand, the prisoner having made a statement explaining the destruction of the cheques but admitting taking the cash, an arrangement Wa3 made, and the prosecution was withdrawn. The prisoner was therefore liberated. CHILD MURDER.-At the Glasgow United Circuit Court, Eliza Gilchrist Brown was charged with •having on Sunday, 26th May, administered to Jessie 2ndrew Brown, her daughter, a child under 7 months old, a quantity of laudanum, in consequence whereof the said child died. It appeared that the prisoner's brother-in-law had brought into the house a quantity of laudanum, fur the toothache, and that he left it on the mantelshelf. When he required it again he could not find it, and on making inquiries, prisoner confessed that she had given it to the child, and it would be better if it went to heaven. Medical evidence shewed that the prisoner was insane, and had been an inmate of an asylum, and the jury having intimated that they thought her of unsound mind, she was ordered to be confined until her Majesty's pleasure concerning her should be known. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A CHILD BY ITS FATHER.—At the Police-court, Burslem, on Tuesday, William Vena bles, labourer, was charged with assaulting his child, Sarah Venables, 10 years of age. The child's arms were discoloured and much swollen, and there was a severe cut on the back of her head. Eliza Brown stated that on the previous day, hearing dreadful screams in the prisoner's house, she got over a wall and saw the prisoner beating the girl about the head with a boot. The witness believed the prisoner was beating the child in that way because she had not cleaned his best boots properly. The stepmother of the children also abused the children. A police-con stable, who was attracted by a crowd near to prisoner's house, went in, and finding the child's head bleeding and its right arm bruised and swollen from the elbow to the wrist, and the left hand much swollen, took the prisoner into custody. The magistrate, after remarking on the brutality of the assault, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. HEAVY DAMAGES FROM THE MIDLAND RAILWAY C6ll - George Dean, an elastic web manufabturer, at Derby, has received £2,800 as compensation for serious injury received by him on the Midland Railway, in April last, when the train in which he was a passenger from Derby to Manchester ran into a goods train at Guide Bridge. MURDER BY A REJECTED SUITOR.—At Ashton-under- Lyne, on Thursday, a young man named Timothy Faherty was brought up on the charge of having, on the Christmas Day, wilfully murdered Mary Hanmer. The evidence went to shew that the prisoner wanted to pay his addresses to the murdered woman, but was discouraged. On Christmas Day, between three and four o'clock, he went to her house. A woman, named Bridget Brodrick, left deceased and pri soner alone, but not long after she heard a scream. On running downstairs she saw the prisoner with a poker in his hand, and saw him strike the deceased on the head. The unfortunate woman died soon afterwards. The witness said she saw the prisoner strike the deceased five times ou the head. The evidence having proved that the deceased's death was caused by wounds on the head, the prisoner was remanded. Some statistics were given at a meeting of the York Chamber of Agriculture, shewing the destructive effects of the cattle plague. It was estimated that 4,286,427 head of cattle had been lost by the rinderpest, or 1,874,672 more than were imported from the Ist January, 1842, to the end of last year. Resolutions wereadopted, expressing the belief that the importation of foreign stock was the principal cause of the unhealthy state of English stock during the last twenty-four years, and recommending that all foreign animals should be slaughtered at the ports of debarkation. CANTEEN ECONOMY.—The distribution of the surplus funds realised by the military canteens at Chat ham, since they have been taken from the hands of private contractors and conducted by the military authorities, has been made to the noncommissioned officers and troops by the Canteen Committee. The committee distri buted ss. each to the general and garrison staff-sergeants, 2s. to each married sergeant, and ls. each to the single men of the battalions. The officers of each of the corps in garrison at the same time subscribed very liberally to enable the troops to keep the Christmas holidays in the customary festive manner. FLOGGINGS IN NEWGATE.—Three men have just been flogged in Newgate, for highway robberies with vio lence, in the presence of Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Stone; Mr. Jonas, the governor ; and Mr. J. Rowland Gibson, the surgeon. William Turner, a man of 33, who had been convicted at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, was sentenced by Mr. Commissioner Ker to ten years' penal servitude, with thirty-nine lashes, for a rob bery with violence upon Josiah Sherwood. William Osborn and Michael Donovan, each of the age of 19, and described as labourers, received each a sentence of five years' penal servitude and twalty lashes, after a trial for -highway robbery before the Common Serj cant. The pro secutor in their case was Mr. Half ord, a jeweller, of Paul's. alley, Aldersgate-street, who, on passing through White cross-street on the morning of Sunday, December 15, observed that he was being followed by four men. He stopped, but was immediately knocked down by one of them, while the rest rifled his pockets, and after stealing £4 9s. they all rag away. The two prisoners, however, ran into the arms of a policeman in a court in the neigh• bourhood, and with assistance they were taken to a police station. The prosecutor's arm was broken in the fall. On the trial they both denied their guilt, but were neverthe less convicted. They received very bad characters from • the police. is :'S to to ng wo Jog Lad -ill' ,riei ana svir Or a 11erf .i ~~, alot r I 11
