His affairs, i t Will be remembered, were recently assigned to an accountant for settlement, in consequence of his protracted illness. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been rather inactive, although prices generally have' remained Steady. In tea the operations have been extremely restricted, a small quantity of Indian produce, thrdeasr. ver, is annou nce d f or pu bli c compet i t i on Sugars have been in very moderate dem nand, but super i or quantities have maintained full values. Coffee has been in fair request, at about late Prices ; While in rice, cocoa, fruit, and spices, t he dealings have been to a fair extent, but have led to no material change in values. Tallow has been ja very moder a t e d emand, and prices generally have shown a slight downward movement in all Positions. It is satisfactory to notice that the reforms which were stated to have taken place in the management of the Turkish Treasury begin to exhibit encourag ing results. Although this is only the month of IS ' o veneber we are informed that almost the whole o f the funds required for the dividends and repay- Molts due next January on the foreign debt of Turkey are already in the hands of the Imperial Ottoman Bank in London and Paris. Messrs. Edward Lloyd and Co., merchants, 9, A ustinfriars, have suspended payment. The liabilities estimated to rank against the estate are about 2 30,000. It is expected that the assets will S how about 10e. in the pound. The stoppage has been occasioned by the failure of a company that was largely indebted to the firm. The books have been placed in the h an d s o f M essrs. Coleman, ..eureinand Young, and C o . With regard to the tea trade Messrs. Hulbert and Co. state that--e" Since the date of our last circular the tea market has remained in much the same quiet State as then described. The only feature to ob serve has been the heavy clearance by the home trad e during the p as t week, in face of the uncert ainty regarding the mode in which the Cha nce ll or of the Exchequer may seek ezfunds t o meet the cost of the Abyssinian leedition. Ihe duty p a y men ts for the week ending 1 3th inetant represent a total exceeding 3,300,000 8. ; and pri va t e l y b usiness has, in consequence, become eomewhat contracted. Messrs. W. J. and 11.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Pigott, BARNETT V. ROBERTS-ASSAULTING A TENANT. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for au aggravated assault upon the plain tiff, a surgeon, by the defendant, his landlord. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dighy Seymour, Q.C., and another learned gentleman represented the de fendant. It appeared that the plaintiff in this action was a surgeon practising, at Milford, and was the tenant of a house belonging to the defendant Roberts. In September of 1866 the plaintiff took the house for 12 months, intending to reside there and practise in the surrounding neighbourhool In the beginning of this year some disputes arose between them about some of the fixtures of the house, and also about the requisite repairs, and one evening, according to the statement of the plaintiff, the defendant called upon him. At that time he was engaged in his own draw ing room, a violent ring was heard at the bell, and the man servant answered it and announced Mr. Roberts. The plaintiff went down to the dining room and found him there. As it was dark they went into the surgery, and began talking about the repairs. Plaintiff rang for candles, and they were proceeding to the nursery to see what was to be done there, when the defendant, who had been look ing very sullen, said---" It is a lie, a lie, a lie !" in the most emphatic manner. Plaintiff could not tolerate this, and accordingly he ordered his servant to show him out, and said he must leave his house. He said he should not, and called plaintiff all the opprobrious epithets possible; when he did go it was only step by step, and he threatened to strike plaintiff with his umbrella. Plaintiff only treated this in a jocose manner, as he considered that he was behaving in a manner for which he would afterwards be sorry. When they got to the doorstep, however, he raised his umbrella and struck plaintiff a tremendous blow, which laid open the skull and covered his face with blood. Ile struck him a second blow, which he partially guarded with his arm, but which, not withstanding, inflicted a wound on his forehead. lie was otherwise ill-used and so maltreated that he was for a long time laid up, and was entirely debilitated, nervous, and prostrated. He had lost a great deal from his illness, and was unable to follow up his profession. Fourteen ran. GRAND NATIONAL IiURDLE. This action at the close of plaintiff's case was adjourned. COURT OF DIVORCE. (fMore the Right lion. Sir J. P. Wilde.) FINNEY V. FINNEY. This suit, which was tried some few days ago, was instituted by the wife in order to obtain a judi cial separation, on the ground of her husbau.i's 21 cruelty. The learned Judge, this morning, thlivered julg meat, and said that the Court had taken time to consider what course it should pursue, inasmuch as the evidence was of a contradictory character, and there being a doubt, ho desired to have time to read it over. Having done so, and carefully review ed it, he found that the petitioner complained of a con tinuous system of cruelty, but he could not find any act of violence, except that in December, 1865, and respondent did not seem to have laid his hand upon his wife in any other way. But this was not the ground upon which the suit had been founded. It was stated that this constant course of violence had preyed upon the wife's health. But from the admission of the wife that she allowed her husband to measure out wine for her he was induced to believe that, as stated by the husband, as a reason for his bad language that she was in the habit of taking too much. 11cr letters to her husband sh)vred that great affection existed between the parties, and he could not consider that there was cruelty towards the wife in the main. As to continuous cruelty, he could not believe that she was brought to any such condition, because in the correspondence of 1866 there are letters which tend strongly to show that the husband's conduct was such as not to make her afraid of him, or wishing him away, for she begged him to return home as quickly as possible. Ho must, therefore, decide that she had failed to make out her case, and the respondent must be dismissed from the suit. POLICE IkiTELLIGENOE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUEL ASSAULT... Paulino Gerrard, a German woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with violently assaulting Mrs. Victoria Villiers, the wife of a sign-writer, living in Frince's-street, Leicester square. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendant. The complainant, who gave her evidence seated said that she went to No. 10 A, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, with an article her husband had purchased for a Mr. Lahr. She was told to go round to the door in Nelson-street, and as soon as she knocked at the door, the prisoner, who opened it, seized her by the shoulders and kicked her. She had been very ill ever since, and obliged to be at tended by a doctor, who said that the kick had caused pleurisy in her side. Mr. Villiers, husband of the complainant, who was waiting for his wife, gave similar evidence, and Mr. Barton, of 36, Nassau-street, proved see ing the prisoner kick the complainant. Golden Palmer, E division, said that when he went to the house t o ta k e t h e pr i soner i n to custody the complainant fainted and fell, and she had to be taken to the hospital. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and called some witnesses, one of whom, named Theodore Williams, said that complainant rang the hell and kicked at the door, and on being told that Lahr was not there struck the prisoner ; and another, Chas. Pollmos, the landlord of the house, said that a man named Lahr had lived in the house, but left a week before the present affair. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that he believed the defence had been got up since the last occasion, fined the prisoner £5 and coats. SHOCKING CASE OF STABBING.—Richard Ryan, a tall, swarthy man, with a sun-dried, whiskerless face, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with felo niously cutting and wounding George James, pot man at the Kinder Arms public-house, Little Turner-street, Commercial-road East. The prosecutor, who presented a sorry sight, with his head enveloped in surgical bandages, pale as a spectre, and in a weakly condition from loss of blood, stated that the prisoner was in the Kinder's Arms taproom last evening, and he quarrelled with his wife and commenced beating her. He interposed and separated them, and begged of the prisoner to be quiet. A quarter of an hour afterwards the pri soner quarrelled with and beat his wife a second time. lie again interposed, and the prisoner made a fierce attack upon him, and struck him several times on the head. He thought he was struck with a key, and was partially stunned with the blows, but he soon found himself bleeding froai the head, and also from the arm. Ile was conveyed to the London Hospital. Mr: Knox—Did ho cut your arm ? Witness—lie did, sir. ( Chu \VittlOSS then ex posed a wound ou his arm, which had not bea t dressed.) George Cleaver, a police-constable, No. 199 K, stated that he was sent for to the Kinder's Arms, and took the prisoner into custody. A knife was found on the prisoner at the station-house. The prisoner was the worse for liquor, and said he knew nothing of the matter he was charged with. Samuel Kemp, barman at the - Kinder's Arms, stated that he saw the prisoner take up a knife half an hour before he stabbed the potnian, and after looking at it and feeling the edge he put it down again. Mr. Ditchett, house surgeon of the Lond, - ,u Hospital, said the prosecutor was brought there yesterday evening, and he examined him and found two wounds on his head. They were clean cuts, 'Twelve rau. HUNTERS' STAKES. Eight ran. STEEPLECHASE SWEEPSTAKES. rive ran. and inflicted with a knife or other sharp instru ment. There was also a small wound in the ear.

Account A SIIIP ON THE GOODIYIN SANDS.—About six o'clock on Sunday evening last a signal gun was perceived at Ramsgate firing from the Gull Light ship, and also from the South Sand Head Light. The attention of those on duty at the harbour was quickly aroused, a rocket was sent up from the watch-house in reply, and the crew of the life boat and stea:ii tug wore speedily called together. The ifeboat was manned, and at 6.45 left the harbour in tow of her consort, the steam tug Aid. The night was very dark and still, and the tide had long commenced to flow. On arriving at the Goodwin it was found that a large Hamburgh vessel, of about 500 tons burden, had gone ashore ou the treacherous sands about half-past 5 o'clock. Some boats from Deal, however, had forestalled the Rams gate boatmen, and the ship was in process of being got out of her dangerous situation. The captain of the steam tug seeing this waited till its successful accomplishment, and then returned to the Royal harbour, which they reached after their bootless errand about half-past ten p.m. SJIAU LIST'.--This Day.

This afternoon Mark Addy, of Manchester, and David Coombes, of Horseleydown, rowed from Putney to Mortlake for £lOO a-side. Both are well known in their respective aquatic circles, and were in excellent condition. Coombes won the choice of station and took the Middle sex side on a protty fair tiao and little or no wind. After one or two ineffectual attempts, they got away together, and remained level for a few strokes, after which Addy gradually drew to the front, led by half a length at the Star and Garter, two at the Point, and won easily by ten engths. Time-26 min. 30 secs. SCULLERS' RACE FOR ONE ILUNDRED POUNDS. A boat race in outriggers for the above sum took place on Monday afternoon between Thomas Wise, a waterman, of Hammersmith, and John Pedgrift, a landsman, of Sur biton, the course being from Putney to Mortlake. The mon aro both well known, Wise as having won a coat and badge at the Thames National Regatta, besides several races with Kilsby, Tagg, &c., and Pedgrift as having taken part in the champion four-oared raeo at the Thames National winning the £lOO prize ; he has also distinguished himself at the sculls. Wise had been training at Mr. Wilcox's thei" White H ar t , " B arnes, and Pedgrift at the " Star and Garter," Putney, with Sadler and Hammerton, and both wore well. Wise, however, from previous performances was supported at 3 to 1, which price found many takers Mr. Wormald was referee ; Mr. Wilcox, of the " White Hart," Barnes, umpire for Wise, and Mr. James Messenger. the Queen's bargemaster, for Pedgrift ; the formor was piloted by George Drewett, of Chelsea, and the latter by George Hammerton, of Surbiton. They got to station shortly after two, Wise having won the toss and taken the Middlesex side. After a little dodging they got away on a very bad tide, Wise with a slight lead ; Pedgrift, however, who possessed the advan tsg,e of superior strength, drew up, and in 50 yards was level ; a splendid race for a similar distance found Pedgrift leading, and at the "Star and Garter" he was half a length ahead, but working with his arms instead of his logs, with out which there can be no lift. Wise, on the contrary, was the perfection of a scullor, and directly after they passed the " Duke's Head," style told in his favour, and ho rapidly wont to the front, although a smart spurt from Pad grift brought him very close at the Point. After this the race was over, and though Pedgrift rowed a very game race, he was unable to alter the tido of affairs, and was beaten by four lengths. Time, 26 min. 10 secs. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CUANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS. Tho Earl of AIRLIE asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was truo that the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, on their return from the Mediterranean, were landed at Portsmouth and sent thence by special train to Plymouth? and said that this transport had cost some thing like, according to newspaper reports, £l,OOO. Lord LONGFORD said that the noble earl was perfectly right, that representations had been frequently made to the Transport Relief, but that they insisted upon making Portsmouth the port of entry, and therefore the War office had to retransport them to their destination. It was a very objectionable proceeding. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS (Tills EVENING.) The SPEAKER to3k the chair ut four o'clock. RATING MINES. Mr. P. WYNDHAM gave notice of his intention to bring in a bill for the rating of mines. ADMIRALTY JURISDIGTMN BILL. Mr. NORWOOD asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to re-introduce the Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill of last session, or a measure of a similar purport ? Mr. CAVE said it was not intended to re-introduce that bill at present, but it was thought that certain clauses might be introducA into a measure which was to be brought forward for consolidating the acts relating to merchant shipping. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Mr. HIBBEIfT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to intro duce the Capital Punishment within Prisons Bill during the present s:!ssi)n ? Mr. IiAIiDY said it was intended to re-introduce that bill. - - INCOME-TAX COLLECTION. Mr. IL B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary to the Trea sury whether he had received any information as to the great dissatisfaction prevailing in Dudley in consequence of the mode in which the income-tax had been levied for some time past, and as to the effects of the system of sur charging manufacturers and others in Dudley; and whe ther there would be any objection to produce the corre spondence which had taken place in reference to this vase ? Mr. nuNT said that in December last a meeting was held at Dudley on the subject, and a copy of the resolu tions passed at that meeting was left at the Treasury by the right hen. gentleman (Mr. Sheridan). Those resolutions were transmitted to Somerset House, from whence a person was immediately sent down to Dudley to report ou the matter. On that report being received it did not at all confirm the statements contained iu. the resolutions. He had no objection to produce correspondence ou that sub ject, but with that which was connected with another branch of the question the Treasury had no control. Mr. SHERIDAN gave notice of his intention to move for its production. THE LIBEL BILL. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE 7 Sir 0. O'LOGHLEN said as tho bill was identically the same as that considered by the house last year, ho could not consent to postpone it. Mr. NEWD2'GAVE then gavo notice that he should, on the motion for its second reading, move its postponement for a fortnight. ___ KING THEODORE. Sir 11. VERNEY asked the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs whether Captain Cameron had ever been re ceived and recognised as British Consul by King Theodore. Lord STANLEY said there was no doubt about Capt. Cameron being received by King Theodore as a represen tative of her Majesty. POItTLAND PRISON. Captain VIVIAN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been drawn to the fact that the cells in the wooden prison at Portland are lighted with candles, so that each convict in that prison has an unprotected candle under his control for some hours during every night of the winter months; whether it was the intention of Government to take any steps to put an end to so dangerous a system ; and whether any attempts had been made by the prisoners to set fire to the prison M. HARDY said he was not aware that any attempt had been made to lire the prison by persons confined there. On the contrary, on the occasion of a fire breaking out none worked harder than the convicts them selves. Steps, however, were being taken to i mprove the lighting of the cells from without. 'IHE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India whether there was any and what foundation for the state ment in the letter of the correspondent of the Times, dated Bombay, Oat. 14, and in the Madras Times, dated Oct. 8, that Illjor-Gen.Nztpier had made a requisition to the Ma dras Government for European subaltern officers to be at tached to the native regiments proceeding with the expe dition to Abyssinia, and was told that the Madras Govern ment had not any subaltern officers to spare; and whether ho would lay upon the table a return of the number of European officers with each native regiment i❑ the expe dition, and the strength in native commissioned and non commissioned officers and men of each regiment? Sir STAFFORD NORTHOOTE said he had no infor mation on the subject either public or private. If the return was moved for it should be produced without the least delay. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Secretary of State for Itidia whether the undertaking contaiced in a letter of the Rev. Ur. ICrapp (one of the dragomen to the Abyssinian Expedition), dated the 20th September last,.and expressed in the following terms: —" I think Sir Stafford's mind will be fully satisfied and tranquillised if I say that, as a leading rule of conduct, I must consider the object of the expedition to he the primary point, to which every oth , )r private concern must bend ; bat that, on the other hand I must not be expected to suppress my individual feeling if a case should appear in practice where I should have any oc casion or be requested to enter on religious discussion "—was to be taken as referring alone to the reverend gentleman's course of conduct as regards Abyssinian Christians, or was to be considered as likewise referring to the Made° and MuFsulinan troops and to the Roman Catholic soldiers in her Majesty's regiments serving on the expedition ? Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE said, in engaging the gentleman referred to, he had in viewa cominunication with the natives of Abyssinia, and certainly not with a view of proselytising or interfering with the religious belief of the soldiers serving on the expedition. SUPPLY-THE VOTE OF CREDIT. The house then went into Committee of supply, when The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move a vote of credit for the expedition. The right hon. gentleman, in doing this, gave a brief history of matters that had led to the necessity of sending forth the expedition. Consul Cameron, a British subject, had now been in captivity for three years, and aft e r all attempts had been made diplomatically to effect his release it was thought expedient to send a special envoy to the King of Abyssinia for the purpose of obtaining the release of Consul Cameron. Unfortunately, however, instead of that mission turning out successful, notwith standing that Her Majesty's Envoy was received by the King with magnificence ' achange came over him, and, instead of treatieg hi m w i t h that respect he was entitled to, the King seized upon his person and cast him into prison. There might be a difference of opinion on the opposite side of the House upon some of the bearings of the question, and which he hoped the discussion would tend to remove ; yet be felt quite sure that the seizure of her Majesty's envoy was a most distressing proceeding, and one which was not to be borne with quietness and patience. It now became known that a number of other persons were also in cap tivity, and it appeared to be a rule in that rude country that those strangers who entered it never left it—there was no returning footsteps. Ultimately one of the prisoners was allowed to come to England on a mission to her Majesty, King Theodore taking as hostage for the messenger returning his wife and children. This gentleman on his arrival iu England was received by her Majesty, and the nature of his mission having been mode known it was at once granted, although it was of a very peculiar na ture. King Theodore wished that certain machinery and 'artisans shout $1 be sent out to him, and it, having been thought that such a proceeding would in sure the liberation, and accordingly the greatest care was taken to comply with the wishes of the King. The ma chinery and artisans were atone() sent out, but on its arrival at Massowah, it was discovered that a change had come over the wishes of the king, and it was thought inexpedient to proceed, and the artisans returned to England. All diplo matic means having failed, and Consul Cameron and his companions being still in captivity, it had been determined to endeavour to effect their liberation by force. England had throughout the matter acted with the greatest magna ui mity, and, beyond that, it is impossible to go, and if any hesitation occurred after that it would savour of timidity, and as every other means had failed, an expedition was at once decided upon. The Government thought that nothing could be so disastrous as failure, therefore the greatest me had been taken to avoid diSaster and to en sure success. The right hon. gentleman having referred in very complimentary terms to the conduct of the Go vernment of Bombay, went on to state the probable cost of the war. Assuming, he said, the war was commenced at once, and carried up to the end of April, when it would be expedient for our troops to leave the country, the probable cost up to that time would, ac cording to the most careful calculation, amount to three millions and a-half. No doubt there would be an in crease if vw were called upon to replace the troops which had been lent to us by the Indian Government, and this had been put down at 300,000, making in all 3,800,0000, but the most prudent course would be to set the whole sum down at four millions. He believed that General Napier would have his troops ready for active service at a cost under £2,000,000, and as that sum would now become pay able at the end of the financial year, March 31, 1868, the resolution he had to put into the hands of the chairman was that £2,000,000 be granted to her Majesty to defray the cost of the expedition to Abyssinia.. It was hoped by some that the horrors of war would yet be avoided; he hoped it would, but he could not allow such a hope to impede the steps to effect the liberation of our suffering fellow subj ects. The vote having been read from the chair, Mr. LOWE rose and condemned the Government for declaring war without first consulting the House of Com mons. rLEFT SPEAKING.] MANCHESTER ELECTION,-THIS DAY.

A fire, attended with very deplorable results, occurred at a farmhouse in Kinderton, near Middle wich, Cheshire, on Sunday morning. The house was a very old one, with thatched roof, and having a large quantity of timber in the walls. It was occupied by a farmer named Cook, and living in the house with him were his wife, four children, two women servants, and a boy. At about 4.30 on Sunday morning the servant lad went downstairs in order to see what-time it was before going out to milk the cows. On opening the kitchen dour he was met by a great flame which burned his hair and scorched him badly. He ran back upstairs to alarm the other inmates of the house. Having done that, ho leaped through a window, and so managed to escape. Mr. Cook, the farmer, as soon as he was awakened and had become aware of the extent of the fire and of the rapidity with which it was spreading, rushed to the room in which his children were. He managed to reach the room, but before he could succeed in his attempt to rescue the children the floor fell in, and he and they were lost in the flames. His wife also, being unable to escape, perished in the fire. One of the servant girls escaped by leaping from the window, as the lad had done, but the other was burned to death. The house stood at a considerable distance from any other, and before an alarm could be spread and any aid obtained it was almost en tirely destroyed. The only statement which has yet been made as to the origin of the fire is, that it pro bably arose from the ignitihg of some clothes which were left on a clothes-horse •in front of the hearth to dry or air on Saturday night. All day on Sun day great crowds of people from all the districts about visited the scene of the disaster, and much morbid curiosity was manifested respecting the burned bodies, only four of which had been re covered.
