n A "T, 74 . 1 1 1 a.sa, .1.! rg AND rATT - ST %TN re 3. .47• 1 OMILT- 7 411 lA. A CIT Y. Iwo O'CLOG'S The T.,verponl C.)tton Market yesterday closed firmly, at the full rates of last week. The sales were estimated at 10,00) bales, comprising 2,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales in clude, in addition to American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, qd. to 7d. ; 20 Bahia bid. ; 100 Egyptian, bid. to id. ; 1,000 Surats, 41d. to 54d.; and GO Sea Islands, ls. to 2a. 2d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, and prices slightly advanced. Accounts from the provincial grain markets in France report a further decline in wheat where they are well supplied, and an upward tendency where the parcels brought for sale are not sufficient to meet the demand. At Rennes the fall is lf. 50c. per hectolitre ; while at Saint-Lo sales are active, with an advance of 2f. 21c. per ditto. At Toulouse wheat fell 50c., but maintained its price ; and at Lyons wheat declined the same, while flour rose If. per sack. At Chalons-sur-Meine no variation took place in the quotations of the previous week. • The Directors of the Northern of France rail way company have issued a circular relative to the disappearance of their cashier, and his defalcations. After a careful examination they have ascertained that the account with the bank has not been tampered with, but that 5,747 shares had been abstracted, which was effected by false entries be tween the two cashiers. The company have taken measures to continue the business of the treasury without any interruption, so that the depositaries of shares will not suffer. In the meantime the matter is undergoing a judicial investiga tion. The number of shares abstracted being 5,74' of 500 f. each, would amount to 2,873,500 f., but, as they have doubled their value in the mar ket, the loss of course is greater. They are now quoted at 997 f. 50c. The Australian mails, per Sardinian, will, it is B st t: expected, be delivered this afternoon. 20 At the adjourned special meeting of the National 10 Discount Company, held to-day, the various amend- 8 1 ! ments iu the rules and regulations of the company 10 wore confirmed. 25 A special meeting of the proprietors of the Bank 25 of England will be held on the 17th inst., for the St. election of a director in the room of Mr. Prescott, 31021 deceased. St. The half-yearly meeting of the North British Railway Company was held to-day ; Mr. Hodgson in the chair. The report was favourable, and showed a surplus enabling the directors to recom mend a moderate dividend on the ordinary stock of the company. The total receipts for the half-year were 124,5991. After paying 5 per cent. on the guaranteed stock, the board recommended a divi dend at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock. The report was adopted. Rumours were freely circulated yesterday after noon to the effect that the Bank of England's minimum rate of discount would he advanced Per cent. to•day. The directors, however, have separated, after a very short meeting, without adopting any such measure, showing that, however unsettled the public mind may be With regard to monetary affairs, they are not yet so unfavourable to call for a more restrictive policy on the part of the Threadneedle-street autho rities. At the date of the last Bank return the re serve of notes was 6,063,7201., and unless, there fore, a serious diminution took place this week, it was unlikely that an increase in the terms of discount would be made, especially as the stock of bullion is believed to have remained without material alteration. The arrivals of gold keep Pace with the exports, and while these are balanced no sensible decline in the metallic deposits of the national establishment need be apprehended. The demand for money continues brisk ; and although the Directors have made no alteration to-day, many are of opinion that an advance cannot be much lon ger delayed. The next two weekly returns 'will be awaited with a considerable degree of interest, since they will show whether there is just cause for anticipating a speedy enhancement In the official value of discount accommodation. Owing to the uneasy feeling created by the ex- to pression of discouraging opinions as to the aspect 20 of the money market, the English Funds experi- 100 enced a drop of nearly i per cent. yesterday, but owing to the result of the Bank Meeting there 5 has been a slight tendency to recovery this morn- 20 1 4.

THE "WARE BANK.— To-day wa3 n.ppointe.l or the last examination of this bankrupt, who bad carried on business, as a banker, at Ware. Mr. Piews (Lawrence and Plews) appeared for the assignees, and applied for an adjournment, as Messrs. Thomas and Copley, the accJuntants, had not been able to complete the accounts, which are very voluminous. Proofs to a very large amount were admitted on afi• davits, and others in the usual farm ; but as they were simply on notes and deposit receipts were not argued. Messrs. Linklater and Messrs. Chidley supported other proof, which were also admitted. The account, as far as they have bee❑ arranged, show liabilities about 70,0001. ; but it is_impost.ible at present to estimate the amount of the a sets. An application wa3 made on behalf of the bankrupt that a certai❑ portion of the household farniture should be reserved for him, and that no sale should take place except under the order of the Court. Mr. Plews said that the property was advertised for sale, and consisted of household furniture, plate, wines, and carriage and horses, but the assignees did not wish to act adversely to the bankrupt. His Honour asked the value of the property which the bankrupt wished to have retained I Mr. Plows said about 0001. or 7001. His Honour asked what would be the amount of the debts and assets ! Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, thought the debts and liabilities would reach between 70,0001. and 80,0001.; the amount of the dividend would depend on the validity of a deed of settlement made by the bankrupt on his wife and children ; but even if that could be set aside, it would not reach 10s. in the pound, so as to entitle the bankrupt to the statutory allowance. His Honour then said the Court and the assignees might, however, make an allowance. Mr. Plows—Yes, to the extent of 3001. It was ultimately agreed that the furniture should be withdrawn from the sale, and the plate, &c., sold, and the question as to the furniture should stand over, the bankrupt selecting a portion to the amount of 3001., to be given to him hereafter, if the creditors were satisfied. The meeting was adjourned till the Ist of November. The audit meeting was appointed for the 31st October. The allowance to the bankrupt was continued. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) ALP V. COHEN. ANTI•EMICIATION.—The plaintiff in this action is a journeyman carpenter, and sought to recover the sum of 165., the balance of an account for work and labour done. There was no defence, and the plaintiff pressed for an immediate order for payment, as he was about going to Australia. His Ilouour—You had better be very careful what you are about, for I have good reason to know that there aro many mechanics out of work there, who were sober, industrious men here. Don't be misled by inter ested persons. Plaintiff—But I am going out at the expense of the Government. His Honour—That may be, but the Government here have nothing to do with the work there. There are a number there out of employment. I should advise you to write over to some friend or carpenter over there, and hear the truth, before you go. An order for payment forthwith was made. in the conne cf the Lst fortnight, an'] much injury done to the building. The prii -, Ler—lrou can't F,ny I took the lead. Liddle further Rtated that the prisonr , r was convicted of felony on the 13 , 11 of Marci , . 1354, and sentenced by the Assistant• Judge of the Clerkenwell Sessions to 12 montb.t' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had Since been in custody and summarily convicted for a petty theft. The prisoner icas committed for trial. Sporting Intelligence. LINCOLN RAGES.-WEDNESDAY.

THE OLD DODGE—RINGINGTHE CHANGES.—Margaret Williams, a well dressed female, was brought before Mr. Cumhe for final examination, charged with obtain kg money under false pretences by the following artful dodge. Henry Green, a grocer, of 112, Great Suffolk-street, said that on Monday, the let inst., about six o'clock in the evening, the prisoner came into hie shop and asked for a quarter of a pound of sugar. He served her, and banded him half a crown. He gave her 24. 4id. change. She took up the money, and after shuffling it about for a moment or so, said " You don't call this right. I gave you half-a-crown, and you have only given me one shilling instead of two." Witness said he had given her the right change, but she persisted that he had not, and was so abusive that he was glad to get rid of her by giving her another shilling. fie, however, sent his boy to watch her further proceedings, being satisfied that she was a thief and s windler. Mr. Gobb, the landlord of the Moonrakers public house, Suffolk-street, stated that about half-past six o'clock on the same evening the prisoner came into his shop and was served with half a pint of beer, which she paid for with a penny. She then asked for 3s. in exchange for half-a•crown and sixpence in copper. Witness accom modated her, and about ten minutes afterwards she was served with some gin. She gave his wife half•a-crown to take for it, and witness saw her receive 2s. 41d. in change. Witness saw her change one of the shillings for a sixpence, when she said to Mrs. Gabb, "You have only given me change for a two shillings piece, whereas I gave you half•a crown." Witness immediately stepped forward and told her that she received her right change, and that he had seen her substitute a sixpence for one of the shillings. She then abused him and left the shop, when he followed her and gave her into custody. The prisoner at first denied the charges, but when Mr. Combe told her he should commit hor for trial, she said she had better plead guiityand receive sentence at once. Mr. Combo accordingly sentenced her to three months' hard labour, under the New Criminal Justices Act. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

A BOLD ROBBERY AT BRIGHTON. —Yesterday a party of three men, staying at the Claremont Hotel, Bognor, succeeded in obtaining possession of a cask-box belonging to the propriet , r, and containing in bills, notes, and gold, about 2001. They were traced to London, and by means of the telegraph at Chichester they were all ap prehended. A hearing of the case will take place to day (Thursday) at the County Magistrates' office. The telegraph communication with the metropolis has only been effected within the last few days.—Brighton Gazete. GRAND MUSICAL FETE.—We perceive it is the inten tion of the directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens to give a musical performance of more than usual attraction on Saturday next, when the visitors will have an oppor tunity of hearing Madame Alboni, Madame Gassier, and Herr Formes, three artistes possessing the most extra ordinary vocal powers of any singers at present before the public. The occasion will derive additional interest from the fact that it will probably be the last time the admirers of Madame Gassier will be enabled to hear her melodious notes during the present season. At a meeting of the Royal Santiago Mining Company, held yesterday, a call of 11. per share was made, to pro secute the undertaking. It is stated that the miners sent out from this country have proved inefficient through having contracted habits of intemperance, and that na tive labour is becoming scarce and expensive. Under these circumstances it is proposed to int.• Wee a limited number of Chinese„ and to provide for the necessary engagements and other expenditure further means are required. the latest advices are more encouraging, and the management hope that remunerative discoveries may yet be made. ONE WHO HAS WHISTLED AT TILE PLOUGH.—We are happy to learn that that excellent nobleman, Lord Kin naird, has opened a subscription list lior Mr. Somerville, to enable him, with his family, to proceed to Australia, where there is no doubt he will find a wider field for his useful literary labours than he can at home. Mr. Somerville's services in the cause of the working classes in perilous times were attended with the most salutary effects ; whilst the parties who succes 4folly struggled to emancipate commerce had not a more able, zealous, and indefatigable agent. We understand that his pecuniary distress arises from having had transactions as an author with persons whose circumstances prevented their being able to carry out their engagements with bins. We are informed that tMessrs. Ransom, BouveTie, and Co., of Pall-mall, are the bankers to whom subs ,criptions are to be forwarded. Lord Kinnaird heads tb e list' with 101. NEGUS V. Gila. TUE OLD ,A.DAOE—A Miss IS AS GOOD AS A MILS.— THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.—This was an action to recover the BUM of 51. 2s. for goods sold. There was no defence to the action on the merits, but a question was raised as to whether the debt was not barred by the Statute of Limitations, as the summons had only been taken out on the Saturday, as the six years expired on the Tuesday, and the summons was not served till afterwards. His Honour said a miss was as good as a mile in some eases, and• the plaintiff was just in time. Judgment would be given for him. Plaintiff expressed his fear that it would be 6 years Longer before he got the money. His Honour—Oh, you need not be afraid of the Statute of Limitations now. The judgment will last for 20 years, and longer than that. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) 130 W-STREET. STEALING GIITTA PERCHA. -- Charles Nash, a dissipated looking man, was placed at the bar charged with stealing 301 b. of gutta percha, the property of Mr. Nosworthy, leather cutter, No. 3, Little Queen•street. The son of Mr. Nosworthy stated that he lived at 3, Little Queen-street, Holborn, and at about half past 6 o'clock last evening he was in the back part of the shop at v, ork and heard a noise at the door. On proceeding there to ascertain the cause he found that a long roll of grata percha, containing about 30Ib. of that material, and worth about V., had been stolen. He looked across the street, and saw the prisoner with the roll of gutta percha on his shoulder, and on asking him what he was going to do with the property, be said he (witness) did not know what he was about, but he told him be knew perfectly well what he was doing, and then took the gutta percha from him, and then a strug gle took place betwee❑ them. His father came up, and the man was given into custody. Police-constable 8 E said the prisoner, on his being taken into custody, admitted stealing the property, say ing he had better do as he had done than starve. The prisbner pleaded guilty to the charge. The magistrate committed him to prison for 6 months. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRADHBMAN'S SON.— John Lefeurc, a tall, well-dressed man, the on of a blacking-manufacturer, in Great Garden street, White- ehapel:who was stated to be very respectably con-. nected, was charged with stealing 6i. 61. from a till in the Lord Ne'sou public-house, Mill-wall, Poplar. Mr. Robert Sheppard, the landlord of the Lord Nel son, said the prisoner and another man came into his house yesterday afternoon. They called for a pint of half•and•half and a slice of bread and cheese, in payment of ',which the prisoner tendered him a half•sovereign. Witness took Os. 6i 1. (the change) from his till and banded it to the prisoner, who put it in his pocket. Directly afterwards witness had occasion to go into the kitchen, leaving the prisoner and his companion stand ing in front of the bar. He could see all that was going on in the bar from the kitchen, and had not been there a minute when he heard the till open and money rattling. He looked towards the bar and saw the back of a man hastily leaving it. Ile went into the bar, pulled open the till, and missed all the money that was in it when he last opened it to give change. He was sure there was 6s. 61 in it, if not more, when he left the bar. There was a iiiorin among the silver in the till. The prisoner and his companion were leaving the house when he Caine out of the kitchen. He went after them and overtook the prisoner, who was given into custody. The other man effected his escape. George Osborne', a plice constable, 129 K, stated that he searched the prisoner and found upon him five half-crowns, a florin, two shillings, three sixpences, and eightpence in copper. The prisoner said lie had been to a public house and changed a sovereign, and that it would be a bad thing for his father when he heard •f this. Mr. Sheppard, is answer to a question by the Magis trate, said there was one half-crown iu his till. The prisoner asked the witnesses questions, which elicited nothing favourable to him. He said he should reserve his defence, and was committed for trial. ROBBERY IN THE WEST INDII DOM—Charles _Denny, a well•known thief, was charged with stealing 821bs. of lead, the property of the East and West India Dock Company, on their premises. Henry Kett, a watchman in the employ of the dock company, said he was going round the West India Dock last night, at 8 o'clock, and while passing by a saltpetre warehouse he heard a hammering w ithi n. He knew that no one bad any right there at such an hour, and watched. Soon afterwards the prisoner emerged from the warehouse, and put something on the grass in front of the warehouse, and then began hammering it with a mallet. The prisoner went into the warehouse, and re turned with a second load, which he also put on the grass, and began hammering again. Ho went up to the prisoner, who was beating out some old lead on the grass. The prisoner ran away directly witness came up. He chased him round the field and took him into custody. The lead, which had been hammered out fiat for the purpose of being concealed round the body, weighed 821 b., and was the property of the East and West India Dock Com pany. Mark Anthony Liddle, a dock constable, said the lead produced had been stripped from the roof of the saltpetre warehouse, from which a large quantity had been taken R RACES.

Drafts for Acceptance. By oorge Raymond. U. Routledge and Co., Farringdon-street. Mr. Raymond is well known as a writer of con siderable and versatile ability ; and this cheap edi tion of his collected Sketches and Tales will serve to justly extend his name and reputation. Too many of our "light-article" writers exercise their functions in the ephemeral style of romantic twad dle, or the flippant tone of "fast" funniness. Com mon place insipidity, or diluted Joe Millerism, usually constitute the chief part of a modern " light" writer ; but the author of this volume has happily exhibited the possible union of ease, hu mour, and freshness, with perception, imagination, and philosophy. Hero is a bit of truth, which too many who marry without allowing either heart or brain to "give them aw...y," will unwittingly sub- scribe to " There are some fall hoods, says Lord Bacon, which are cautioned by tra,httor, because t'4ey supply e.An niodiouo allusions. "ne Lott. ry of Wedlock' may be one of them. That the priz-3s are few, we v.4i mit ; hut the produce of our scrip chi: be found less the caprice of Fortune than the result of our own want of judgment. In fact we are too apt to debit this lady with our own blunders. "The expressions prize and blank assume a kind of right to expect that Fortune will do something especially for us—that the cause is now entirely hers—that hav ing purchased a ticket in the wheel, we had but to give to the blind goddess our blinder faith, and she will ac somplish all the rest, without oar stir. "It may appear startling ; but, perhaps, the greatest duplicity in life is the season of courtship. Affection is a most arrant traitor, and, like the rapt astronomer, whilst gazing on the stars we fall into a pit. We deceive ourselves in our regard of another, and we deceive an other in the false representation of ourselves. We put on our best garments without at all suspecting the holiday dress of our companion. Suitors, in each other's eyes, are as perfect as those once were who now lie in church yards—affectionate brothers, dutiful sons, and sincere friends. Rogues all' have a prescriptive title to this language when they are six feet in the earth, and all suitors claims as equal an estate wiles over head and ears in love. The question, therefore, is less an affair of the die than of positive wilfulness, and its results less the operation of lottery than of conduct. N . o lottery, but a J uggl e — we juggle others, and we juggle ourselves. For surely those who marry (ito use the words of Voltaire) through the caprice of a few days, a connection without attachment, a passion without affection, the affectation of cicisbeism, or a romantic fancy, cannot place the upshot to the charge of Fortune, who are themselves alone the responsible parties. It is no longer conjugiuna,' but conjurgium'—the reed and the fern, of opposite natures." In the relation of a well-told family story we find many such wholesome passages as this : "Premeditated pleasure as frequently fails as premedi tated wit. You wait an occasion which perhaps never arrives, or you force its fulfilment, which is utterly un productive. Woe be to those in the journey of life who promise to themselves a great deal of gratification.' Not merely does the common uncertainty of mortal things wait on these airy pledges, but it seems that the fondled chances grow up more sickly under the strong nourishment of confidence. The promising boy tut 9 out the dunce of the family; the promising lode yields not the payment of working the mine ; the promising Christmas affords but a dull festivity ; for all these matters having been too anxiously taken out of the common hands of chacce for the fancied security of special promises, they stop payment at the very moment we are counting our gains, and prin cipal and interest are lost together. "By these suggestions we do not mean that the best line of prudence should not be pursued in all things, but merely that what appears the most advised, should still be held unacquitted of mortal uncertainties, and be invested with no wore than a portion of confi dence:—success will in this way become more W. umphant, or failure lose much of its mortification." The following description of an eccentric elderly old gentleman is graphically given : "Mr. Gorcum R as an old bachelor, who having in earlier life, with great foresight, quarrelled with all his relatives, lest at any time they should ak favours of him, bad lately made a great convenience of the Wopshott family ; and as he was reputed to be extremely rich, he never found them unprepared to extend to him any personal accommodation whatever. His costume was not a little peculiar ; for his shoes were of that thick ness with which the tanner, in the child's spelling book, would have defended the besieged city—the shape rather that of a flat-bottomed boat ; so that he appeared (to use the words of some modern humorist) to have placed each foot in a coal barge, and feloniously walked away with the same. As to the stockings—those hanging in heavy festoons about his legs, were clearly manufac tured at, a period when the art of weaving had not at tained the perfection it has in our day, " Rough and ragged like the Russian bear,' and entangling in their Hirsute surface a world of straws, hay-seeds, and disabled blue-bottles. The small clothes, fitting with cutaneous adhesion, were black, and so was the waistopat, and so also was the coat—that is, I have said black, trom utter despair of fixing on any other known colour. The collar was flap, the pockets flap, the lappels were flap, and the tail most unquestionably was flap—it was a flapping black sea, undulating at this moment from the north- webt winds which swept the continent of Marylebone. As a member of the old school, be wore a white stock, which, iike the strangling collars of Dionysius, seemed rather invented for death than life, and most successfully aiding that interesting determination of blood to the northern extremity, by which so many valuable old gentlemen are suddenly taken off. " Gorcum was in truth a perfect Trojan, and never was there a countenance better fitted to endure a ten years' siege than his—his external hippopotamus visage looked to scorn ' the slings and arrows of outrageous' time, which fell blunted before it. Its completion, an imperfect mixture of cochineal, sienna, and burnt umber, except on the more prominent part of the nose, on whose vermiculous top the Prussian blue mostly pre vailed. It was a face, in fact, to cut up into mahogany tables, for it was also a lignum vitas which defied more delicate manufacture." In short, we have derived much gratification from the perusal of Mr. Raymond's little book, and can honestly declare that we have frequently given five times the sum for a volume which has not afforded us a fifth part of the interest and amusement con• tamed in this. Zuriel's Grandchild. By R. Sparling. 3 vols. Newby. This is a pleasing story. It relates the adventures of a young girl who was placed in peculiarly un pleasant circumstances. Her mother married against the will of her father a Captain Delorme. It was hoped that he would be reconciled to them, but it was otherwise. Bohn Zuriel, the millionnaire, had formed in his mind grand plans for his daugh ter's advancement on her marriage, and he could ill brook seeing his ideas destroyed in such a sum mary manner. Selina did nob very long survive, her husband was ordered abroad, and she only lived to see him return. Dora, her daught( r, was different from her mother in possessing more firm ness of purpose, and more spirit and energy in her general demeanour. After the death of his wife, Major Delorme (as ho had then become) did not improve, in fact rapidly deteriorated, in character. The early years of Dora's life were peaceful enough in the little cottage where they continued to reside after her mother's death. The first trouble came in the person of Mr. Conroy Bradshaw, who is an admirable specimen of vulgar effrontery. The Major had to drop his old fastidiousness in the choice of acquaintances, and welcome whom he thought likely to render him service. However, Mr. Bradshaw commenced importuning father and daughter for the hand of Dora, then grown a lovely girl. He would take no denial, and at last the Major desired him to leave them. He continued,, however, to keep up the acqtaintauce to please himself, and was a torment to the gentle Dora. Far greater difficulties beset her path, for her father, in a moment of despair, put the name of a friend to a bill that he had requested him to sign, but which the latter had declined to do. The terror and anguish of the daughter may be ima gined, but by the most strenuous exertions she con tinued to save the wretched man from the terrors of the law which awaited him had he taken his trial as a forger. It was wisely resolved by the heroine that she must immediately leave their residence and proceed to London. True, the guilt was not known, but people must discover something was wrong in the Major's irregular life, and accordingly they left their beau tiful retreat for the smoke and dirt of the city. After a time they again went to a distance from London. Dorahad it on her mind to repay the money that Mr. Lesparde had agreed to pay rather than disown the signature. She did at las t effect this, partly by her own earnings as a tea cher, and partly s th u e m assistance had l r e o a f d a y f b r e ie e n n d poafidhertemoLtleieepra'sr.deTe h by Zuriel, who did not wish any one to be a loser through generosity to his grandchild. The conclusion is satisfactorily arranged, an d Dora Delorme is enabled to rest after her ardu ous labours and her many painful experiences in the conviction that Bile had done good service to man y. The story is interesting whenever she ap pears, and some secondary characters are amus ingly sketched. lo that on the whole it may prove a favourite with novel readers.
