Which, in fact, has been at all times the Power the soonest ready to take the field ? History is there to reply that it is France. The warlike habits of the nation, its love of glory, its confidence in the chief it has given itself, are a sure guarantee that such will be the case. Never has our country remained deaf to the first cry of war, and it has always surprised its enemies by the rapidity of its armaments, and the sudden and irresistible explosion of its energy. Your Majesty will not have forgotten the immense enthusiasm which was displayed on your departure for Italy. You will always find similar enthusiasm, and you may be assured of the loyal and devoted co-operation of all the great bodies of the State, whenever the interest of France or that of your dynasty may require an extraordinary effort. " As a remedy for the dangers of the financial situation, the vote by division of the services of each Ministry has been recommenced—but I have remarked already what result can be expected from such a measure if it is to remain isolated P What is the use of fixing strictly the special obj ect of all tlae chapters of the Budget, if a decree suffices to augment the amount of the funds set apart to them ? The vote of the Budget by division would only present an incomplete guarantee against the return of the system of acting or the impulse of the moment, which is the cause of the present em barrassments. In a financial point of view such a change would only present very doubtful efficacy, and in a political point of view it would offer grave inconveniences. The Bank of France return for the month end ing yesterday shows a falling off of £780,000 in the bullion, of £1,510,000 in the notes, and of £400,000 in the advances. There is an increase of £1,080,000 in the bills discounted. The Market for English Securities opened buoy antly, and a further improvement of / per cent. took place, but it has not been maintained, several speculative sales having been effected for the pur pose of realising profits. Consols for money have been 93; 94, and are now 93f 1, including the dividend. For the account they have receded from 921 1, to 921 1 less the half-year's interest. A moderate amount of business has been transacted, and the market presents rather an animated ap pearance.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued moderately active, and a further slight im provement has taken place in prices. Eastern Counties, Great Westerns, Midlands, and South Easterns, have advanced ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; Brightons have declined 55.; and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been little change of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are now quoted, with an additional £2 paid, having improved to 192. ; East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula remain at pre vious prices.

The unfortunate child, it appears, on account of the out•. do )r occupation of her parents, was usually left in charge of the younger children, and early this morning she was seen in the court. Towards the middle of the day she was nowhere to be found, and inquiries after her were set on foot. A number of the companions of the poor little child, searched about the neighbourhood, but without success. Two boys named Carney and Lynes were also engaged in the search, and when near St. Clement Dane's Church, the brother, who had been walking with them, told them it was no use looking about for his sister, and directed them to go home and tell his (Reeves's) father that he had strangled his sister in the coal cellar, and that he intended to drown himself. The lads, horrified with this intelligence, ran to the residence of the lather, who was found in a state of intoxication in his room on the second floor, and quite incapable to understand anything that was communicated to him. As soon as the other parties in the house heard the message young Reeves had sent home they proceeded to the cellar, and there the poor child was found quite dead, with a piece of rope tied tightly round her neck. In a short time after the dis covery of the; murder, Mr. Allfrey, of King's College Hos pital, arrived, and he pronounced life to have been extinct about four hours. The police took possession of the house, and Rogers, 17 F, despatched a brother constable to the station in Bow-street, in order that steps might be taken for the apprehension of the lad Reeves. The father has for years been employed by the tradesmen of Covent-garden market in mending selves and baskets, and the lad usually helped him in his occupation. Young Reeves is so well known in the nei ghbourhood, that it is almost im possible for him to elude the vigilant search that is no w being made after him. He appears to be a person of the most vindictive disposition, as but a few days ago he attacked his mother with a knife, and very severely injured her. No motive can at present be ascribed for the perpetration of the dreadful crime.

The discovery of the murder has occasioned the greatest excitement in the crowded neighbourhood of Drury Lane. APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER. About half-past four the police succeeded in apprehend ing the lad Reeves in Carey-street, Lincoln-inn-Fields. On being taken to the station-house, he made a statement, which leaves no doubt of his guilt. A photograph of the prisoner was found in his father's room, which was at once taken possession of by the police, and no doubt facilitated his capture. He is deminitive in stature, and has the ap pesrance of not being over fourteen years of age. He will be taken before the magistrate at Bow-street to-morrow morning. PREFERENCE SHARES.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice- Chancellor Wood.) aUDGMENT—HOPE V. FOX. The plaintiff, Mrs. Pope, filed her bill to set aside a deed of appointment executed by her in favonr of her son and a mortgagee of the whole of her property, on the ground of undue pressure of her husband, and fraudulent misre presentation of her son that the deed she was then execut ing was only for the appointment of a new trustee, and thereby concealing the fact that it was a deed disposing of her general interest in her real estate under her marriage settlements. His Honour the Vica-Chancellor, on considering the evidence produced on both sides, came to the conclusion that the plaintiff had not proved either fraud or misrepre sentation in the execution of the deed of appointment in question, and therefore dismissed the plaintiff's bill against the husband, with costs ; also costs of the next friend up to the lime of the amendment of the bill, when the husband was made a defendant.

A G ENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CADMAN. —Mr. Henry Bathe, gentleman, of 5, King-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Thomas Handon, cabman, of 16, Drummond-crescent, Thomas Handon, badge 10,357, said last night, at half past nine, I took up the defendant and another gentle man and a lady in the Haymarket, and took them to King street. On setting them down defendant gave me half-a crown. I gave the other gentleman le., upon which he caught hold of my throat, and the defendant came out of the house and struck me some violent blows on the face, covering it with blood. The defendant was not the worse for liquor, and I had given him no provocation. Defendant—l went into the house, and seeing my friend struggling with the cabman, I struck him. I had paid the man more than his fare, and do not know how they got quarrelling together. Mr. John Swaine Hogge stepped into the witness box. Clerk—Where do you reside? Mr. Hogge—l den't reside anywhere. Clerk—You must live somewhere ? Mr. Hogge—Well, I live in King-street, but am going abroad. Clerk—What are you? Mr. Hogge—l am in the service. lam an officer in the army. Defendant gave the cabman half-a-crown and walked into the hous3. I said, "You ruffian, you have charged half-a-crown." Tho cabman then said ho had no change, and I then took him by the throat. Defendant—The man said his fare was half-a-crown. Mr. Tyrwhitt—That was pretty fair from the Haymarket to King-street. Mr. llogge—l said to the defendant, " Polish him (the cabman) off," and the defendant did polish him off. (Laughter.) Mr. Tyrwhitt—That is certainly illegal, and it is not the way to treat a cabman or any one else. You should have brought the complainant hero by a summons. I think some small compensation to the cabman will suffice. The parties then left the court and shortly after retired, when the cabman said the defendant had offered him half a-crown, and he declined taking it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—As thero was clearly some imposition on tho part of the cabman, I shall fine you ono shilling. FIRST SURREY ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS.—On Wednesday evening a general meeting took place at the head-quarters, Lambeth-road, to complete the arrange ments for the reorganisation of this corps, Major Roupell, M.P. (an honorary member of the corps), presiding. The first business was the intr• duction by the chairman of Mr J. A. Rose (brother of Alderman and Major Rose, of the London Rifle Brigade), as captain-commandant elect of the corps, and of Mr. Nind, son of the late Captain Nind, of the Royal Navy, also as captain elect of the Second Bat tery. Mr. Rose, in a lengthened address, expatiated on the value of artillery corps as a means of defence, placing them next in efficiency to the good "old wooden walls." The Channel, which had in bygone times been a gulf between the two nations, was now reduced by the improve ments in our steam navy to a mere river, and it behoved us to cultivate the offensive as well as defensive means for the o protection of our liberties and our ho mes. Mr. Nind, l who followed, endorsed these sentim ents. whichhecoud honourp ra w ct o i- f practi cally substantiate, as he had himself had the serving in the navy. Among the gentlemen present were the Itev. Mr. Lingham, rect or of the parish; Capt. Adams, and a largo body of non-commissioned officers. The Rev. Mr. Lingham delivered a touching address connected with the business of the meeting, which was then practically proceeded with. Mr. Gill accepted the secretaryship of the corps, and also the office of treasurer, pro tern, and other routine arrangements were completed. Offices have been taken at No. 1, Westminster-bridge-road, where in tending members can receive a' l necessary information. Among the advantages possessed by this corps over other metropolitan ones is, that the permission of the Archbishop of Canterbury has been obtained, through the Rev. Mr. Lingham, for the corps to drill in Lambeth Palace-park— an area affording drill accommodation to 2,000 men. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH.—The Government are stated to have accepted the resolutions passed at the re cent meeting of the Red Sea Telegraph Company, subject to the new company raising its capital and despatching a vessel with the required amount of fresh cable. The allot ment of the shares in the new company is fixed for the 21st inst., and applications will be received up to the preceding day.

THOMAS SLINGSBF DUNCOMBE, M.P. Mr. Thomas Siingsby I)uncombe, M P. for the borough of Finsbury, whose death we record this day, ha, followed his old antagonist, Sir James Graham, to the tomb within a few days. Although Mr. Dancombe had been in failing health for some time, the melancholy event was not anticipated, and it will take the public by surprise. He was a man who had for 30 years occupied a conspicuous place in the public attention, partly from the fre quency and smartness of address, partly from the piquancy of the assertion of the most wild and extra vagant Liberal dogmas by an aristocrat pur sang. That an enormous constituency like that of Fins bury —one, too, which is proverbially fickle— should, while cashiering a Challis and a Cox, men of their own kidney, stick fast to Mr. Duncombe, who, except in name, could have no thought in common with the electors, is creditable to the generosity, it not to the discernment of that body. " Tommy" had been for years a chartered libertine, and so great was his popularity that, in spite of his negli gence, hauteur, and other eccentricities, it was hopeless to expect to turn him out, even if any one had been venturesome enough to make the attempt. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, though theoretically democratic and patriotic, was by birth, manners, and social position onE of the " upper ten thousand," and wo betide the Finsbury shopkeeper who presumed to accost him in the familiar style of equality and fraternity —except on the hustings. He was the son of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, of Copgrove, near Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, by Emma, daughter of the Right Rev. Dr. Hinchcliffe, Bishop of Peter borough, and, no doubt, his episcopal connections produced in him that ardour in the cause of religion which was only equalled by the purity of his demo cratic zeal. The Duncombes originally came from Buckinghamshire, and one of the family, still eli gibly located in the neighbourhood of Mr. Benjamin Disraeli, was created a baronet when the right hon. successor of Hampden was leader of the great Con servative party in 1858-9. A younger son of Mr. Wm. Duncombe, of Ivinghoe, came to London in the 17th century, and his son, a Sir Charles Dun combe, was Lord Mayor of London in 1708. Sir Charles's sister, a Airs, Brown, who inherited his fortune and called herself Duncombe, had issue by her highly respectable husband a daughter who became Duchess of Argyll and Greenwich, and a son, who bought an estate in Yorkshire, and mar ried a daughter of Sir Thos. Slingsby, of Scriven. The father of Mr. Thos. Duncombe, of Copgrove (father of the just deceased M.P.), derived his estate from his brother, who, though married three times —first, a daughter of the fourth Earl of Carlisle— left no issue. Mr. Thomas Duncombe was born in 1797. Where he was educated is uncertain, nor is it material in estimating the political status of the man, but it is known that he served for some time as an officer in the 4th Dragoons, which regiment he quitted with the rank of lieutenant shortly after the close of the war. He entered the House of Commons first in 1826, as member for the borough of Hertford in the unreformed Parliament ; and having been lucky enough to gain the confidence of his constituents, was re-elected in 1830, and again in 1831. In 1832, on the passing of the Reform Bill—to the success of which he had powerfully contributed by his animated and vigorous addresses, both within and without the walls of the House—he was turned out with his Liberal colleague, Lord Mahon (Earl Stan hope) and Lord Ingestre (Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot) being the successful candidates. Although the Conservative members were unseated on peti tion for bribery and treating, Mr. Buncombe did not stand again. He remained out of Parliament for two years. Lord John Russell, by his Reform Act, brought into being the metropolitan borough of Finsbury—a borough containing 350,000 inhabit ants, and about 20,000 registered electors. The first members after the passing of the Reform Bill were a Liberal, the Right Hon. Sir Robert Grant, and (strange to say) a Conservative, in the person of Mr. Sergeant Spankie. In the course of the summer of 1834, Sir Robert Grant accepted the Governorship of Bombay, and Mr. Duncombe stood—of course in the ultra-Whig interest—against three other can didates, of whom Mr. Thomas Wakley, his future colleague, was one, and won the election by at least 600 votes. In spite of all his political aberra tions, his personal eccentricities, his absence from the House, his simulated patriotism, " Tommy Dun combo" has been re-elected ever since—often under protest, but still re-elected—in Dec. 1834, July 1837, June 1841, July 1847, June 1852, March 1857, and April 1859. Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, ' was the congenial colleague of the hon. gentleman from 1835 to 1852 ; Mr. Challis, a respectable alderman in the fleshing trade, from 1852 to 1857 ; and the memorable William Cox from 1857 to 1859. Sir S. M. Peto has done the constituency the honour of redeeming it in a measure from the disgrace which had indirectly the effect of preventing the creation of another metropolitan borough in 1860. Mr. Thomas Duncombe's political views were broad and unmistakable. Nothing on earth is so easily or so cheaply accomplished as a reputation for going the " whole hog." He was a strenuous supporter of triennial Parliaments, secular educa tion, the ballot, separation of Church and State, and the rest of the " entire animal" platform—that is, he was loud in the advocacy of these measures as long as he knew they could not possibly be passed ; for, to take the first on the list, triennial Parlia ments would have been very inconvenient and dis agreeable to a gentleman of his habits. He rarely spoke when member for Hertford, but steadily voted for all liberal measures—Roman Catholic emanci pation, reform, parliamentary and municipal; but the exigencies of a metropolitan constituency com pelled the hon. gentleman to speak—as metropolitan members do speak—with frequency, if not effect. His specialite has been church rates—his studies and education having chiefly lain in an ecclesiasti cal direction—which he has vehemently opposed ever since the year 1834, when he presented a peti tion against them. He also proposed, and we be lieve carried, a resolution forbidding the interfer ence of peers in elections as "unconstitutional." His most important achievement, however, was his vehement opposition to Sir James Graham, for his causing the opening of Mazzini's letters during their passage through the Post-office, through which manipulation the Bandiera brothers were executed by Austria. Mr. Duncombe was the popular hero of the day. He denounced Sir James, then Home Secretary, in the House and out of it, day after day ; and though Lord Brougham in the House of Lords at once exposed the fallacy of the Earl of Radnor's arguments directed against Sir James, by showing that the power of opening letters had been notoriously the prerogative and duty of the Secretaries of State since the days of Charles James Fox, Lord Radnor's chief, who had exercised the right in common, the ma tter formed a and ar lo u"r out t n o d f stock ; B , l.l i b n j e c d t i s o c f u d s s e i b o a n t e h f o o u r s a e s l , e. i n n g time, other places where intellectual politicians wasy warm e l ongre ga te, Mr. Duncomb ap proved. It is impossible to particularise all the debates in which " Tommy Duncombe" took a noisy if not a very influential part. He spoke very often, indeed, ever since Finsbury marked hi m f or h er own ; and in late years many Symptoms of the wonted fires were visible in the emaciate but still fashionable-looking " roliQ of the past" as often the agents of the Anti-State Church Association scented out an opportunity of damaging the Church, or the Balloteers were hard pressed for a smart speech in their favour. Mr. Duncombe's personal characteristics have been probably the cause of his popularity, which otherwise would be utterly unintelligible, for he never proposed any practical measure, never car ried any item in the little bill of the ultra- Radicals. He was a fop and a dandy of the first water; his style of dress was in perfect taste, his manners pleasant and genial, his person—even to the last, in spite of the ravages of time—handsome. Radical as he was in his youth, he was always a welcome guest at aristocratic tables, and mixed in the highest society ; and if of late years he Wm gradually withdrawn from society, the cause is not to be sought for in his waning popularity, but in circumstances totally different. His latest elll appearance has been in connect ion i with the patriots of Hungary, who, it may be remembered, recently sent him a letter of thanks for his advocacy of their rights in the British House of Commons, in reply to which he wrote an answer demolishing Mr. Roe buck's assertions in favour of Austria. Tile social life and the personal character of Mr. Thomas Duncombe are matters with which the biographer has tothing to do. how it came to pass that the scion of a proud Yorkshire Tory family, forsaking his ancestral traditions, became an extreme Radical, and how the man of fashion, the high-bred aristocrat, was gradually developed, in the opinion of " the intelligent middle classes,' into a patriot, a champion of popular rights, a de mocrat and a brother, passes our comprehension. It is sufficient to say that the death of Thomas Slingsby Duncombe removes another of the old familiar faces from the Rouse of Commons, de prives the Radical party of an influential name, and leaves a vacant seat open to competition.—Nortiing Post. MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAPHS. The Malta and Alexandria telegraph cable com menced working for public use on Friday last, and if the receipts taken on the first day of its opening may be judged as an earnest of its future operations they promise to be very extensive and remunerative. Notwithstanding Friday was a close holiday with the majority of the population, and the telegraph yet in its infancy, and not universally known, ne. less than 40 telegrams, we understand, were trans mitted. Of these 30 were from Malta, and the rest from London and other parts of Great Britain and Europe. It is interesting to know that America, with its usual go-ahead propensities, has bE en among the first to avail itself of the advantages held out by this line, one of the messages received being dated from Ncvr York, and addressed to China. Calculating each of these telegrams at the lowest price the tariff offers—namely, 305., the re ceipts would amount to nearly £22,000 a year But this, doubtless, will be very far below the real figure. When the line is in full operation, and its advantages duly appreciated, it is impossible to say what demand may be made on its powers, by the relations, commercial, political, and social, between Europe and the far East. For the greater con venience of the public it has been decided, since the arrival of Mr. Glass, to unite the office of this tele graph to that of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph in Strada Marsamuscetto, where mes• sages will be received for both lines. Instead of the land line from St. George's Bay (Marsasci rocco), a submarine cable round the coast to the Marsamuscetto harbour will be used. This con necting cable was successfully submerged on Mon day last by Mr. Glass's steamer Bet wick, and is found to work well. On completing arrangements Mr. Glass will probably proceed to Alexandria to settle matters at that terminus, which is to be the head-quarters, and where Mr. Gamble, the general superintendent, who is shortly expected from Eng land, will take up his residence, after making a tour of inspection to the different stations. Dr. Whitehouse, under whose able superintendence the electrical department for Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., has been conducted, took his departure 04 Friday last by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Valetta for England, via Marseilles, his mission being fulfilled; and Mr. Forde, the Government engineer, to whom so much credit is due for the success of the whole undertaking, left by the French packet Pausilippe, on the same day, on return to England, via Italy. The 30 days' official testings being at an end, the Government electric staff have also received orders to return from, the different stations, and her Majesty's gun boat Surprise will leave to-day or to-morrow, to bring back the engineers and electricians at Ben ghazi, These gentlemen, in the service of Messrs, Siemens and Halske, with their talented chic:7, Dr. Esselbach, have, we learn, collected a mass of most valuable and interesting tests respecting the eleo , trical condition of the cable. Up to the moment of going to press the cable continues to give the most satisfactory proofs of its perfect electric state, and the number of messages daily received for trans mission augurs well for its future prosperty. The telegraph steamer Berwick arrived on Friday from Marsala, whither she had proceeded to raise as much of the cable between that place and Malta as prac ticable. But weather interrupted her operations when only a few miles of cable had been picked up. Altogether, very little cable has as yet been re covered either of the Corfu or Marsala line,—in the former case owing to the great depth of water in, which the line is laid.—Malta Times, Nov. 7. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. ._~__~ CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. Good and fine qualities moved off steadily at full prices, but inferior parcels were a slow sale at about previous rates. The demand for foreign wheat was very inactive, yet scarcely any change took place in the quotations compared with Monday. In floating cargoes of grain a very moderate business was transacted on former terms. Malting barley was dull at previous currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts were in slow request at late rates. New malt was in fair demand at full prices, but old qualities were much neglected. Oats—the show of which was moderate—changed hands slowly on former terms. Beans and peas quite supported previous rates. The show of samples was small. In flour rather a limited business was transacted, yet prices were firmly maintained. ARRIVALS THIS WEEX. Meat. Barley.

East India and foreign descriptions have been in fair request, at slightly reduced quotations.
