MARKET 110/4EY--'' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England have not made any reduction in their rate of discount to-day. Up till yester day the idea very generally prevailed that an alteration would at to-day's weekly court have been inaugurated, but the change that has since occurred in the Continental ex changes partially dispelled all hope of such a consumma. tion. It is believed that the specie movement will again ho the impediment to cheaper money, but as yet nothing is dainitely known of the commitments of capitalists, and the future may therefore not be gloomy, as a few are now wont to regard it. Very little business has been in progress this morning, consequent upon the supposed reduction, bill brokers having large balances at their disposal, are still in clined to negotiate the best three months' bills at 81 per cent. A farther sum of £42,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. L esuspen s i on h as b een announced of M essrs J o h n Le l 6k and Co., merchants, of Graccchuroh-stroet. The debts of the house are supposed to be large, but the assets are also believed to be considerable. Mr W. J. White, the accountant, has been entrusted with the books for the pur pose of preparing a balance sheet.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE!. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn Justices Crompton, Mellor, and Shea.) MALCOLM, V. TIIE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN HAIL• WAY. Mr Bovill said this was an action for negligence tried before the Lord Chief Justice nt the Guildhall, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with £3,000 damages, which were apportioned by the jury as follows : £2,000 for the widow, and £l,OOO to be divided amongst the children then under age. The learned counsel now moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a now trial had on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The deceased gentleman.resided at Harrow, and on the day of the accident he had gene to Borkhamstead. Oa his return to the station he was crossing the line at the proper place to the up-platform when tho express train, which was seven minutes late, came up, knocked him down, and he wa3 killed on the spot. The Berkhampstead station stands on a sharp curve. A train coming up can be seen 100 yards from the station when looking up the line, but at 900 yards distance on looking across the country. The express train was due at 2'47, and the train by which the deceased was about to leave at three o'clock: The evidenoe for the plaintiff was that no porter was at the station to warn the dmased, but the defendants called a porter who swore that he twice cautioned him, but be took no notice of it. The whistle was sounding when the train was within 100 yards of the station, and persons who were on the platform held up their hands and shouted. The deceased the moment he saw the engine rushed forward, but had he stepped back he would have saved himself. If the deceased, who was as elderly man, had used his eyes and his ears, instead of walking with his head down thinking, he must have seen and heard the train before it came up. The Chief Justice said there was some conflict of testi- mony on that head, TiZ., whether the engine driver used the whistle before he saw the unfortunate gentleman on the rails. Mr Bovill said the evidence for the defence was, that the deceased was cautioned, and that three of the witnesses who saw the train ooming shouted and held up their hands to him to stop. Mr Hughes, one of the plaintiffs witnesses, also deposed, that if the deceased had used his eyes and ears there would have been abundant time for him to atop, and the unfortunate accident would not have happened. The deceased lived on the line, and must have been aware that trains passed up and down every ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. The Lord Chief Justice said he should have been better pleased if the verdict had been the other way; but it was a question of evidence, and it was entirely for the jury, who considered that the deceased bad not been warned as he ought to have been. There was evidence which produced a Considerable impression on his mind that the deceased gen tleman did not exercise that caution which a man was bound to do when crossing a railway. That evidence was pressed with great ability on the attention of the jury, but they thought otherwise. Mr Bevil' said he could only urge that there was evidence of cautioning the deceased by words, shouting, ea. Mr Justice Crompton said that shouting and whistling at railway stations often bewildered people, and whilst they were considering, very frequently the mischief it was in tended to prevent happened. The Lord Chief Justice thought there should be no rule. He should have been better pleased, as he had said, if the verdict had been the other way, but starting with the find ing of the jury that it was negligence on the part of the com pany in their not having cautioned a man whom they had invited to cross the rails that an express train was due, the question how far a man who met with hie death might have contributed to it from want of care was a matter on which they could not lay down any precise rule, but was a case especially for the consideration of the jury. The jury had found that this was not that negligence which deprived the relatives of compensation, and he was not so dissati,fied with the verdict as to recommend that it should be set aside. The other learned judges concurred,- r itulo refused. EXCHEQUER CHAMBERS. (Sittings in Error.)

The learned Judge took his Bali on the bench at 25 mi. rutes to 12, when some amusement was created by an elderly woman crying out at the top of her voice, "May Sir James Wilda sit as he does now for the remainder of his life, is the earnest prayer of a friend." CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON. Mr Inderwick said in this case, which stood adjourned for the 9,1 of November, he had an important application to make for the postponement of the case. His learned friend, the Queen's Advocate, Sir It. Phillimore, had met with a severe accident, and his medical attendant considered that he would be wholly unfit to attend the court that day. It was, however, believed he would be able to attend in about ten days, and he therefore asked that the case might stand fixed for the 16th. Dr. Spinks said he appeared with Mr Bovill, Q.C., and Mr Sergeant Ballantine for the petitioner. Of course, under the circumstances, there would be no objeotion to postpone the case. But it was objected that any day should be appointed for the present. The learned Judge said if both parties agreed to a post ponement, he could not object under the circumstances, but it would be butter to postpone it generally, and to agree on some future day when it should be taken so as not to interfere with the general business of the court. The parties must undertake to give the jury notice not to attend on the 9,1, and that they were not to attend until summoned again, Dr SPINICS said of course that would be done. The case was accordingly postponed. It will be recollected that this case was postponed at the end of the last sittings, owing to the extraodinary evidence and disclosure made for the first time by the wife of a clergy man,who gave evidence of a conversation she had with Mrs. Codrington, who in it had admitted having committed adul tery with Lieutenant Mildmay at Malta. A commission was ordered to be issued to examine witnesses at Malta to rebut that evidence, but no such commission was issued. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Bafore Mr Commissioner Goulburn ) IN AB IVAIIGIL. To day was appointed for the last examination and dis charge of this bankrupt, the facts of whose case must be familiar to the public. Since the last meeting volumnous accounts, extending over 150 folio pages, have been filed, and the front sheet of the balance sheet, by. M. 0. Brown, shows a total indebtedness cf £332,127. The unsecured creditors amount to £58,257. To ditto holding security, £260,342. The prcfits on the Branksea Patent Company are put down at £5,967. Losses £24,095. The property in the hands of creditors is valued at £185,281. The bank rupt states a surplus in October, 1852, when the balance sheet commences. The domestic and personal expenses between October, 1652, and Aprili 1857, amount to £44,555 and the legal and professional expenses, commissions, inte rest, discount, amount to .£ eta the dtficienoy is accounted fur by trade expenses, &c. _ _ The case was appointed for 12 o'clock, but not called on un one. Mr Linklater, for the assignees, said that the accounts had only been filed about a month, and a further adjourn ment was necessary. He therefore asked for six weeks, and he hoped that in the interim some arrangement might be come to with the London and Eastern Banking Cor poration. A desultory conversation took place, Mr C. E. Lewis for Lhe Banking Corporation, to prove his debt, but His Honour ultimately peremptorily directed the ad ournment. Mr Sargood. for the bankrupt, asked far a further allow ance, as tho bankrupt had only been receiving at the rate of £l per weok for a limited timo. His Honour refused to mako any order.

THE COMING FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.-CAUTION Richard Gilbert, a boy, was charged before Mr Yardley with letting off fireworks in Charlotte-street, Great Port land-street, to the danger and etnoyance of the inhabitants. A constable proved seeing the boy let off a squib, and on going to him to take him into custody he threw another away. Mc Yardley—lt is now two days from the sth of Novem ber, and I shall sit here till after the sth, and every time a boy is brought before me for discharging fireworks I shall increase the fine. In another district, by getting the fine up to 40s, I believe I have stopped the nui , anco. I shall fine this boy 52, or three days—the next will be fined 10s. Henry Cothell, a lad, was next charged with a similar offence. Copes, 132 F, proved seeing the lad discharge a squib in I'l conix-street, St, Giles's, a place where thorn is a good deal of tri-ffic. There were others doing a similar thing, but he secured the defendant, who was the biggest. Mr Yardley—Do you wish to say anything ? The ch.faidant—l ran away when the squib was thrown, because others did. Mr Yardley—You have no notion of the damage you might do—you might destroy life even—and there has been a case of the kind. The constable has given a good reason for taking you into custody, and a big boy like you ought to know better, Your folly might do a deal of mis chief. I shall fine you 10s, or seven days. ... SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—HARSH TREAT MENT OF A WlFE.—Mary Ann Thorogood, a married woman, formerly in the service of Mr Winter Thompson, photographer, of Oxford-street, as servant, was charged with stealing two waistcoats, the property of Mr Thomp son. Mr E !ward Tyrrell Lewis, of the Albany, appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner was before the magistrate on a previous occasion, but only enough evidence was then given to en sure a remand. Mr Thompson said—The prisoner was in my employ, and while the was so I was robbed of a good deal of pro perty—amongst other articles some waistcoats. From in formation given to mo I went to a pawnbroker's and iden tified two waistcoasts. I afterwards gave the prisoner into custody. By Mr Lewis—The prisoner left me at the end of July. It was her husband who gave me information she had robbed me. ^ I afterwards heard that her husband was summoned to appear at the police court the same day that I charged her with robbing me. Louisa Plumb, living in Pye-streot, Westminster, said— I lent the prisoner 6J, and the gave me a duplicate pro duced as security. Mr Lewis—Are you sure the duplicate produced is the same ? Witness—l am. I know it because it is torn at the bottom. Mr Lewis—Now don't you know that all duplicates are [orn like the one produced by pawnbrokers —one being torn !rem the other? Witness—Yee. Mr Lewis—Then why do you say you can recognise the duplicate by that means ? Did you look at it at the time she gate it to you ? Witness—l did not particularly notice it. A young man, named Gough, said—l bought a duplicate of the prisoner. It related to a waistcoat. I got it out and repledged it, as it was of no use to me. By Mr Lewis—l know the prisoner's husband. He is not a friend of mine. I dont know what you mean by "friend." lam not constantly with him, but I see him frequently and drink with him. Mr Lewis—l think that is a pretty good definition of the word "friend." In further crone-examination Gough said—The prisoner's husband told me that he was summoned to the Westminster Police-court for assaulting his wife about two days before his wife was taken into custody on the present charge. I went to the husband and told him that he had cheated me in the waistcoat he had sent his wife to sell me the duplicate of, as it was only a child's waistcoat. I afteriards gave. information to the prosecutor. Mr Lewis—Were you not mired up in the affair of the robbery of Garibaldi's watch? Gough—l am not here to answer such questions. What has that to do with the case ? I decline to answer the question. The Magiterate—You are not bound to answer, but if you do not we will know what your declining to do so means, Gough— Well, I decline answering. Mr Lewis—Have you not been three months in prison for a robbery ? Gough—What has that to do with the ease ? The Magistrate—The questions are very proper. They are put with the view cf testing your credibility. If you do not think proper to answer the question you can stand down. [Gough did so.] A pawnbroker's assistant produced the two wa:stcoatr, and said they were pledged by a female, but he c3uld not say by the prisoner. The Magistrate—l do not think the case made out against the prisoner. I have nn huot,..a vausea nut wire to be charged with the felony to keep her from going to the police court. Ido not believe Gough at all. The prose cutor had good reason for charging the prisoner with the robbery after the information he received. That the charge has been got up by the husband of the prisoner, and that fellow (Gough), who has given evidence, there is very little doubt. I shall discharge the prisoner; the prosecu'or can take his property, and if anything further comes out, the prisoner can be given into custody again. The prisoner, who was stated to have been much Omitted by her husband, then hfc the court crying bitterly, the summons she had taken out against her husband having been dismissed, owing to her not being able to attend the police court. WESTMINSTER. A GUARDSMAN ROBBING ONE OF TILE LlNE,—Samuel Shoulland, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar, charged with robbing William Leary, a private of the 21st Foot. Mrs Annie Turner, of the Old Star and Crown, Broad way, said that last evening the prisoner, prosecutor, and a drummer came into the house. The first named had been drinking, and the prosecutor was very drunk—so drunk that he fell on the floor directly they entered the house She refused to servo them and the drummer left. Prisoner then asked her if she would let the prosecutor remain a little while until he recovered, and she consented, and prisoner seated himself by the side of the prosecutor to take care of him. After he had been there a few minutes the prisoner put his hand into prosecutor's pocket and emptied it, and was than going out. Witness, who had seen pri soner rob the prosecutor, called her son and told him what had occurred, and prisoner was brought back. Ho said he had gone out to get a pot. Mr Turner said that he followed the prisoner briskly and brought him back after he had gone a few yards from the house. He had hie hand clenched with prosecutor's purse and other property in it, which he declared was his own. Prosecutor said he had just arrived with his regiment from the West Indies, and, having obtained six weeks' leave, was on furlough for his home in county Kerry. When he fell in with the prisoner last night he had £2 9s about him. Ile became so intoxioated that he did not know how he lost it. Police constable Waterman, 114 B, said that he was called and took the prisoner into custody, and found a sove reign and some silver upon him. He admitted that he had only had about a couple of shillings when he left barracks, and had paid for two or three pots of beer out of that. Prisoner said he should reserve his defence. lie was committed for trial. ...........ime THAMES, A REGVLA.II.

GRAY'B.TNN, Nov. 2.—At a pension of the Hon. Society of Gray's-inn, holden this day, John Lee, LL.D., who has recently been appointed one of her Ma. josty's Counsel, took his seat as a Beecher el the booiety, Presentation of the Lord Mayor Elect. Yesterday morning a procession of civic dignitaries was formed at the Guildhall for the purpose of waiting upon the Lord Chancellor, at his residence in Hydespark-gardens, to present for her Majesty's approval Mr Warren Stormes Hale, who has been elected Lord Mayor of London in suc cession to Mr Alderman William Lawrence (the present Lord Mayor), whose term of office will expire on Tuesday next. There were present the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect with his chaplain, the Rev. Dr. G. F. Mortimer, Head Master of the City of London School ; Mr T. Chambers, Q.C., the Common Sergeant; Alder man and Sheriff Dakin, Alderman and Sheriff Bexley, Alderman James Lawrence, Alderman Waterlow, Alderman Gibbons, Alderman Allen, Alderman Sumo; Mr Secondary Potter, the Comptroller, Town Clerk, and the other members of the corporation. Oa arriving at Hyde-park-gardens the Lord Chancellor received the civic party with great courtesy and cordiality. The REcoaDnu said he had the honour, according to old established custom, to present to his lordship Mr Warren Stormes Hale, one of the aldermen of the City of London, who had been electod by the unanimous voice of his fellow citizens to the high office of chief magistrate of the City of London for the forthcoming year. Mr Hale was a gentleman who had been actively engaged in the honourable pursuit of trade, in which he had amassed a considerable fortune, which would enable him to maintain the hospitalities which were associated with the mayoralty. Mr llalo was elected many years ago a member of the Court of Common Coun cil, and the exemplary manner in which he discharged the duties which devolved upon him pointed him out as a fit and proper person for the higher office of an alderman, Ho had also served with great credit the important office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. In the midst of those duties Mr lisle had also devoted his attention to the subject of education, and it was partly to his exertions on its behalf that the City of London School, now one of the most pro minent educational institutions in the country, owed its present proud position. Ho (the Recarder) felt that he was only expressing the general feelings of the citizens of Lon don when he said he was sure that Alderman Halo would discharge the duties of the mayoralty with credit and hon our, and with satisfaction to those who had elected him. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—l am commanded by her Majesty to declare to you hermitic° approbation of the choice which the City of London has made; and my Lord Mayor, allow me to effir to your lordship my most sincere personal congratulations on this event, that you have attained, after a life of industry and success, so great a dignity. This mark of regard and esteem at the hands of your fellow citi zens is a subject of just pride and legitimate congratulation. I am happy to say, my Lord Mayor, this is not the first time I have had the pleasure of hearing of your name and of your efforts fur that education of which you were the pioneer and anticipator, and which is now recognised as a groat national benefit, It there were no other security, that would be a sufficient pledge far the efficient manner in which you will discharge the duties of the high office of the mayoralty. To every high office great duties are attached, and from the man to whom much is given much will be required. The peaco, safety, and good order of the City of London will demand anxious oars. Above all, the daily discharge of the summary administration of justice in which you will be in cessantly engaged is a very arduous duty. I reconimend that subject to your special attention, because to deal with oases and to apportion punishments in a summary manner requires great ability. But the Lord Mayor elect had not only an opportunity of becoming acquainted with those duties, but had been set an admirable example and model in the discharge of them. I hope you will bo equally distin guished as the most eminent of your predecessors, and I fondly hope the anticipations of your fellow-citizens will be justified by the event. I wish you, my Lord Mayor, every health and happiness. The loving cup wont round, and after an exchange of courtesies with the Lord Chancellor, the civic party retired, ant returned in their carriages to the Guildhall. The Lord Mayor elect will be sworn into office at the Guildhall next Tues !ay afternoon. The Conviction of Franz Muller. Since the trial and conviction of Franz Muller for the murder of Mr Briggs, the German Legal Protection Society, who, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury, still hold to the belief of the prisoner's innocence in respect of this crime, have continued their investigations with unremitting assi duity. The discoveries they have made the committee have determined to lay before the public in the form of a pam phlet, which is now being prepared, and which will shortly be produced. Tho following incident, the full particulars of which have been ascertained by recent inquiries, and which, it is considered, has a connection with the murder of Mr Briggs that demands proper investigation, will, in all probability, have a principal position in the statement which will bo issued by tho Orman committee, It is stated that about two,o'clock on the morning of the 10th of July last, a few hours after the commission of the murder, a Mr Poole, who resides in Edmonton, was in his bedroom, when a parcel (as it afterwards proved) was thrown against his house, breaking one of the windows. This parcel, it would seem, had been thrown from a cab, which was pass im: Inma tho rood aw...y from London. Mr Puulo, with tt view cf getting some payment for the damage done, imme diately pursued the cab, which, after a long chase, he over took. There were four men inside. It is said that, as far as could be seen, there was an appearance of considerable disorder about these men. Ono of them was without his hat, and with a handkerchief bound round his,head. Mr Poole was told hurriedly that the bundle was thrown for a lark; but that he would be paid and the cab drove on. The parcel which had been thrown against Mr Poole's window was found on being examined to contain a pair of trousers. Later on the Sunday morning, at :bout eleven o'clock, Mr Poole saw the same cab returning towards London, and noticed that there were then two of the same men in i►, and this time Mr Poole was accompanied by one or two respec table inhabitants of the neighbourhood. It is understood that the German Society have succeeded in discovering three, it not all four of these men; and that they are in possession c f the trousers, which are found to be stained with blood, which has been ascertained to be human. The com mittee are said to be also in the possession of other evidence which they consider of the highest importance as bearing on this case, the complete investigation of which they de sire to promote. Last evening, at a meeting of the Garman Legal Frotec• tion Society at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, the terms of a memorial to Sir George Grey were discussed and resolved upon. Mr Lasker was in the chair, and nearly all the mem bers of the society attended, among those present being Dr Kinkel, Dr Beige!, the Baron von Erlanger, Mr A, Oppler, and Mr Beard, solicitor for the prisoner. The CHAIRMAN said 'the murder on the North London Railway W6B still a great mystery to them all. They could not say the trial had been any other than a fair one ; and they were not assembled to criticise tke conduct of the jury in arriving at the verdict of guilty on such evidence as was submitted to them. But nobody who held a belief even in Muller's guilt, attempted to deny that the affair was very mysterious. This society, whose members were now anxiously and earnestly engaged in the endeavour to estab lish the ti uth, was known in England as the German Legal Protection Society ; but its German title would imply that its function was to protect only thoso accused persons whom it had reason to consider innocent. He would now call upon Mr Beard to advise them more particularly as to the steps they should take to prucuro a reprieve tor Muller. Mr BEARD stated the result of his interview with coun sel, and said that, without pledging themselves to the pre cise character of the memorial, they might safely agree to petition, on the grounds of not lacing satisfied with the evidence. Mr EPSTEIN', the secretary, suggested that signatures to the memorial should be sought among the general public— but this plan was °fleeted to, as possibly tending to con tradict the very purport of the appeal, which professed to emanate from a German body. It was also contended that, as time was pressing, the aelay cursed by sending the me morial into various quarters to be signed would endanger its chances of success. The draft was then read by Mr Beard, and was criticised in an animated discussion. The document was, in effect, a precis cf the speech of Mr Sergeant Parry, and imported no novel facts or arguments. Tho meeting seemed generally to be of opinion that a respite should be solicited on the ground that evidence not produced at the trial was in the hands of the committee. It was said that, independent of the Ed monton story, which our readers will find above given, se• vocal facts of importance had transpired. The Baron von Erlanger stated that all journeymen tailors had "pass books," accounting for their time and conduct; and Mul ler's book was one which gave him a character above that of his fellow-workmen. The same speaker said that Muller had minutely described the man who sold him • the watch at the docks ; and on inquiries being made of the dock cfficials, they said that such a man was one of the four pedlars well known about the place, but that ho had not been seen since about the time of the mur der. They made search for him, and found that ho had changed his rceidenco several times ; and when they at last discovered him, he gave a very hesitating and unsatisfac tory account of his dealings. Dr. KINKEL said that the " pass-book " in question should certainly be put forward in evidence. It did not merely testily to character in a way usually valuable iu procuring mitigation of sentence: it was a direct proof that Muller was not the kind of man to commit so atrocious deed. Tho Culnoteri made a statement in corroboration of that which related to Muller's purchase of the watch. lie (the chairman) had been visited by a person who for twenty years past has been familiar with people about the docks, and who came to him to say that watches were often sold by pedlars in that vicinity. lie asked his visitor to give him some descriptions of these pedlars ; and aczordingly he wrote on four separate pieces of paper four several accounts, one of which exactly tallied with Muller's own. Mr Lasker then desired his informant to mark that paper with a cross, and the observation ho made in reply was, " It is strange you should ask me to mark this paper, for it relates to the only one of the tour men whom 1 have missed fur some time past." _ _ _ The decision of the meeting was to alter the tenor of the memorial in such a way as to petition for time, in which the value of this new evikleuco may be tested.

There were good fields for the events before the steeple chase, and a close finish is the fi-st c f then; b tween Queen of Trumps, 5 yrs, and tho LatLy Evelyn filly, with the Grimslaaws up, the younger one catching his brother in the last few strides, and winning by a short head. The Flying Stakes Handicap always produces a good field and a tedious delay at the post. There was no excep tion on this occasion, as it was ;nearly thrue•quarters of an hour before Mr Marshall could despatch them, when Gedi io went to the front, and made all the running, aad won, after a very fine race with Vandcrvelde, by a head. The Grand Annual gave us a fi Ad of seven hones, and was as fast run and closely contested as we have seen on Pitchcroft for some time. For full particulars we must refer to the description of the raco below. Sufficient to say here that Jerry, Rattlesnake, and Joe Malay were alone in at the last result—that the latter falling at the last hurdle extin tinguished his chance, and that a good race between the remaining two was decided in Jerry's favour by two lengths, the rider of Rattlesnake appearance to be unable from fatigue to bring out his horse's powers, or the result might have been different. The other steeplechase was run at too late an hour to admit of any comments from us. The Visitors' Plato of 40 Soya, a Handicap :for all ages. Winners extra. About a mile, starting at Grand Stand.

Joe Maley immediately after starting went to the fore and came on past the stand with a clear lead, followed by Cheerful Boy, Rattlesnake, Real Jam, and Spatchcock, Switch and Jerry bringing up the rear. These positions were retained round the fair turn, shortly after making which Jerry ran through his horses, and as they ap• proaohed the hurdles opposite the stand he became second, with Rattlesnake third, and Real Jam next. Theo came Spatchcock and the two Irish representatives. The fence into the enclosure was cleared at wide intervals in the order before enumerated, but at the fence in the rear of York House Rattlesnake headed Jerry and came on in attendance upon the leader to the fence into Pitohcroft, which he cleared slightly in advance of Joo Maley and Jerry, the three running in close company over the flight of hurdles at the distance, but as they neared the weer jump opposite the stand Mr Hudson's horse again assumed the command and .cleared it upwards of three lengths in advance of Rattlesnake. who was as far in front of Jerry. A wide interval separated these from Real Jam, Switch, Cheerful Boy, and Spatchccck. They all got safely over the fence into tho enclosure, with the exception of the last named, who blundered at it and was immediately stopped, and returned. The leaders pursued their way along the far side to the fence in the corner by the elm, where Jerry began to creep up, an 1 on rounding the turn fur home he juiced Joe Maley, the pair racing for the lead, which the latter obtained as they cleared the fence into the winning field. From this point the race became particularly interest ing, as the three closed and ran locked to the flight olhurdles placed at the Dog and Duck turn, which Joe Maley reached first, but striking them heavily he came to the ground with great violence, seriously injuring Page, who was subse quently removed to the hospital. This mishap gave Rattle snake a slight advantage, but of which ho was deprived as they cleared the hurdles at the distance by the favourite, who won very cleverly at last by a couple of lengths. The others were pulled up, and returned home the nearest way, and did not pass the pass. The Shorts Selling Stakes of 6 soya each, with 30 added, for 2-yr olds and upwards.

Nov. 3, IE6I. A New Zealand Sawyer's Philosophy. I havo now boon knocking about in these colonies for 11 years. I consider myself better off hero than at home. In the old country your master will turn you off for a sour look, and when you have once got a bad name it will go hard with you to find another place. Hero I am as good as my master, and ho knows it. I can turn him off when I choose, and find as good a place to-morrow. I can make as much in a day here ae I could do in a week in England. I have saved no money ; what's the use ? I once made £2bo at the diggings in Australia, went down to Melbourne and spent it like a gentleman. Ah litis a pleasant thing being a gentleman, 1 should like to have nothing else to do. I worn as good a coat as any of your officer fellows, and spent my money quite as freely. It lasted me five months ; and is is a com fort to mo that I never met a poor pal without standing treat. I met an old chum bound for New Zealand, and came down here with him for a la' k. When I have made a little money I go down to Auckland and spend it like a gentleman. It is not worth while going there with less than £6o—that lasts me about a fortnight. Being a topsawy or at the top of my profession, you know I can make that sum in six weeks. I thus work like a than for nine months of the year, and live the other three like a gentleman. If I meet my master in town, I look him fairly in the face ; why shouldn't I ? Aint I as good as he ? I owe him nothing, and he owes me nothing; I have done my work, and he has paid me for it, so thore's an end of the matter. What should Idoif I were sick P Why, go to the hospital, to be sure. But I never have been sick, and dont mean to be; it is not in our line. It wonlant pay on no account. Oh yea, I suppose I shall die some day, but then I wont make a long job of it. There will be no occasion to call the doctor cr send for the nurse. I'll be crushed by a tree, or drowned in the river, the same as other sawyers. Neither my father nor my grandfather did in their beds, and I dont expect to either. When 1 die my comrades will bury me beneath a kauri tree, and the world will jog on ae before. I dont bother my head about the rest ; I supposo I shall faro as well as others. I have lots of poor relations iu England, but they have no claim on me. They never did anything for me, and why should I do anything f..n . them ? SHIPPING-TATS DAY.

DEATH OF AN EX•POLICE MAGISTBATE.—Me Peregrine Bingham, who for many years presided as ono of the magistrates at the Marlborough-street Police -court, and who resigned about four years ago owing to ill health, expired yesterday. The deceased, who was 70 years of age, was called to the bar of the Middle Temple in November, 1818. The vintage in Spain this year, like those of France and Germany, is unusually fine, and the m ino is expected to be equal to that of 1858. SUICIDE OF A NORWEGIAN CAP TAIN.--TllO Bristol coroner held an inqacst on Tuesday, on the body of a Norwegian captain, named Grudde Larsen, of tho brig Emanuel, from Twodestrand, Norway. The deceased hung himself against a ga t o - post in the public street. Niels Evenson, the captain of a Norwegian vessel sailing from the same port as deceased, stated that ho knew him very well. Ile was a married man, and had a family. Ho last Maw deceased about five o'clock on Monday evening, and ho was then drunk. Nothing passed between them to lead witness to think that Larsen meant to destroy himself. Witness believed that hie mind was affected by drink, and that ho was in trouble about his ship. This trouble arose in consequonoe of the deceased not being able to pay his LW, the broker having no money. The jury returned a verdict that the.deceased hung himself while in an unsound state of mind. NITRATE OF SODA..—The Field Marshal in New York directs attention to the necessity of placing under stringent regulations the storage, within the city limits, of nitrate of soda. Ills report, just issued, says : Until recently the belief prevailed that the article was a comparatively sass one so far as its storage was concerned. The calamitous accidents that have resulted from it have dispelled this.impression. and it (snow a well-founded convio • Lion that not only nitrate of soda, but saltpetre and nitrate of potash are highly dangerous when stored in large quan tities. Nothing is more certain than that, when exposed to the action of rapid hest, they will, as soon as brought into combination with any vegetable substance by fire, produce instant explosion. As a matter of coarse the larger the quantity the greater the expansion, and the greater the danger to life and property's—American paper.
