XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Affairs in the discount market continue without change. Money is abundant, and the demand for it very small. Th ree mun th s ' bill s are again nego tiable at 31 per cent. As these terms permit the brokers to obtain a small profit upon their opera tions, and enable the mercantile community to ex change their paper at easy rates, the eubject of an alteration in the offiiial minimum no longer perplexes the commercial mind or engrosses its attention. A further withdrawal of £14,000 was effected at the Bank of England yesterday. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. The preliminary arrangements of the Royal Bank of India (lately started in Bombay) for commencing business in London are completed. The London and County Bank are the company's London bankers. Mr. Maculloch, formerly manager of the Agra and • United Service Bank at Bombay, has been appointed the London agent, with offices in the East India Chambers, Leadeuhall. street. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 05c. Dull. The English Stock Market is less buoyant than it was at the close of business yesterday. Consols, which had been fractionally higher, have returned to their original quotations, which are 93 a for money, and 931 4 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 911 1; the New 21. ditto, 761, ; India Stock is %26; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1091, -1-; and the 4 per Cent. ditto, 1008 101. In the Foreign Market a further downward ten dency is apparent, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 921 ; do., 1862, 711 ; do., Consolides, 521 53 ; Mexican, 424; Greek, 3O ; do., Coupons, 14 ; Spanish Passive, 35} ; do., Certificates, 134 ; Portuguese, 49Z d ; do., New Loan 11 a prem ; and the Confederate Loan, 63 65. The settlement of the account has been the chief business attended to in the Railw.y Share Market to-day, and prices have in several instances exhi bited more firmness. West Midland,NorthWestern, South Western, North Eastern, York, South and North Stafford have improved 55., and South Western, 10s.; Caledonian, however, have receded 58. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little change of importance as regards prices. Bank Shares continue in moderate request. Char tered of India, Australian, and China have im proved to 393. 40 ; Union of Londoa to 381 4 ; India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 3 to 31 premium ; East London, 21 to 3 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market, London Financial shares realise 15i; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 8 4 k ; Discount Corporation are quoted 81 to 8,1 prem. ; and Mercantile Credit, 1k to 2 prem.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, his Royal Highness Prince Christian of Denmark, and their attendants, went yesterday for a day's shooting at Holklaam with the Earl of Leicester. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, the Princess Christian, and the Princess Dagmar, attended by the Countess of Morton and the Countess Reventlow, drove out yesterday after noon. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and his Royal Highness Prince Christian, attended by Captain Grey and Captain Castenshjold, returned from Newmarket last night shortly after seven o'clock. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE and Lady Louisa Cavendish and family have taken up their residence at Hardwick Hall, near Chesterfield, since leaving Holkar Hall, near Milnethorpe. TILE EARL AND COUNTESS OF LINCOLN have now taken possession of the house in Piccadilly formerly the residence of her Ladyship's father, the late Mr. Hope, and bequeathed to the Countess at his death. Her Highness the Princess Hohenlohe arrived in London yesterday from Dover. Earl de Grey, the Secretary of State for War, has consented to preside at the annual supper of the St. Martin's division of the Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Volunteers, which will be held at the Freemasons' Tavern on November 11. Earl Cowley, the British Ambassador at Paris, has returned to the French capital, after an absence of six weeks. The Count and Countess Kleczkowsha, nee Tudor, accompanied by their family, arrived at the Bruns wick Hotel, Jermyn-street, last night, from St. Petersburg. THE GRAND OLD STORY ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE PAGAN GODS !—ln Paso, says Mr. Ansted in his recently published work on the " lonian Islands in 18C3," about the time that our Lord suffered his most bitter passion, certain persons sailing from Italy to Cyprus at night, heard a voice calling aloud, Thamue I Thamus I who, giving ear to the cry, was bidden (for he was pilot of the ship;, when he came near to Pelodes (the Bay of Butrinto), to tell that the great god Pan was dead ; which he doubting to do, yet for that when he came to Pelodes, there was such a calm of wind that the ship stood still in the sea unmoved, he was forced to cry aloud that Pan was dead ; wherewithal there were such piteous outcries and dreadful shrieking as hath not been the like. Milton al ludes to the circumstance in his "Ode to the Nativity"— The :onely mountains o'er, And the resounding shore, A voice of weeping heard and loud lament—. and Plutarch refers to the same remarkable incident. QUEEN MAB. By JULIA KAVANAGII.—This is one of the best of the numerous productions of Miss Kava nagh's pen. She has long since established herself as a novel writer, and every fresh attempt gains her a larger circle of admirers. Her power of description is great, and she succeeds in setting her characters clearly before the reader. " Queen Mab" is more charming than any of her former creations. The story will surely find much favour with the public.—Observer. SIGNIFICANT !—THE SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS.—The officers of the "Empress's Dragoons," says the Paris correspondent of the limes, gave a dinner a day or two ago, in the Salle Louis X 111. of the Palais of Versailles, to the officers of the Cuirassiers and Lancers in garrison in that place: Marshals Magnan and Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, Generals d'Allonville and Pate, and several other officers of rank were among the guests. Covers were laid for 230. Toasts were, of course, given to the Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial, to the army, S:c. On the health of his regiment of Dragoons being pro. posed, Colonel Pajol said, in returning thanks :—" Per haps the day is not distant when the Emperor will call upon us to measure our swords with the oppressors of a people so full of sympathy towards France. We will then, like those who have gone before us, let the world know the i advantages that may be derived from the combination of al the arms of cavalry." This expectation of a war with Russia—for it can only be Russia that is meant—was greatly applauded. The presence of two marshals and of other officers high in command makes the incident still more remarkable. Before the war in Italy there were indi cations of a similar kind. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27.—The Leviathan, in ballast, trading between Havannah and Mobile, and the schooners Condor (with general cargo), Flying Scud, and Vanguard, with cotton, have been captured by a Federal cruiser in the Gulf of Mexico. Advices from Beaufort, North Carolina, dated the Ist October, state that on the 29th September a large side-wheel steamer, apparently deeply laden, ran the blockade out of Wilmington. A LIVING WAIF.—The English schooner Theo dore, which arrived at Havre the day before yesterday from Newcastle, picked up at sea, about 10 miles from the Eng lish coast, a fine Newfoundland dog, which was standing oa a piece of timber about two yards long, forming part of the wreck of some vessel, other portions of which were seen floating near. 'When the dog, which is a very fine animal, saw the schooner's boat approaching, it jumped into the water and swam to meet its deliverers. TWELVE MILLION BUTTERFLIES.—In the canton of Basle no less than 12,000,000 butterflies have been caught this year, and the Government has paid the catchers the not inconsiderable sum of 1,000,000 f. Natu ralists tell us that of every hundred of these beautiful in sects, forty-five are females; and as each of the latter is estimated to lay, on the average, forty fruitful eggs, the destruction of these 12,000,000 is virtually the same as the annihilation of 216,000,000 caterpillars. moMunrjain side B USKIN ov e rhhaas na b in u a ilt ch a m S o w un is i. s c H h e ale pu t rp o o n ses th t e o study the mountain effects throughout the greater portion of the year; and, if report speaks truly, we are to be fa voured with the result of his observations, in a volume of glowing Ruskinese. A VESSEL STRUCK BY A WllALE.—Captain Kirkham, of the barque Edwin and Lizzie, which has just arrived in the Mersey, gives particulars of one of those rare instances of a whale striking a vessel direct on the stem, and which in the case of his ship nearly caused her to founder, so tremendous was the shock she received. The Edwin and Lizzie left Prince Edward Island with a cargo of timber, and on. the 12th of October, in lit. 45 1 north, lon. 21 8 west, at half - pas t lin t he afternoon, was struck by a large whale. Part of her cut-water was carried away, and the main stem cut right through to the wooden ends. This terrible blow, as might be expected, caused great alarm on board the vessel, and so rapidly did she leak that the pumps were instantly manned, and kept going night and day without intermission. Fortunately they were equal to the emergency, an d though the Edwin and Lizzie (a new vessel) had seven feet of water in her hold, she was brought safely to the Mersey and docked, BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE MARYLEEONE MURDER. Business done. Sarah Emily Mitchell, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. There were several other counts charged in the indictment. _. The prisoner was dressed in deep mourning. She was seated in a chair, and was held up by two female warders. When she was asked to plead not a word was extracted, and a plea of not guilty was entered. Mr. Clark and kr. Beasley prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Sergeant Shea. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said the pri soner had been in the service of Mr. F. Chappell, of Liverpool, who led her astray, and the result was the birth of a child, which she was charged with having murdered. This person brought her to London, and Wok lodgings for her at No. 108, Marylebone-road, where sho had another which did hot live. At this time she began to entertain feelings of jeallusy towards Mr. Chappell, threatening to destroy both herself and her child. As the question of insanity would be raised, he should feel it his duty to put into the witness box the medical gentleman who attended her, and who had examined her in order to ascertain her mental condition. Mr. W. Catherow, surgeon, of Weymouth-street, said he had attended the prisoner on the 3d July, she was then in a very prostrate condition from excitement caused by jealousy. He calmed her and left her about half past four o'clock ; the same afternoon he was again fetched when he found her lying on the sofa with her throat cut, and the child was also lying on the bed dead. A razor was found near the bed. From the appearance and actions of the prisoner after she had inflicted the wounds, he was of opinion that she was labouring under some disturbance of the mental system. Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—She was nervous and excited from the first moment she saw him. Her second child was not of full growth, it only lived about six hours. She had much restlessness •nd excitement, and he had to give her large quantities of laudanum to enable her to get any rest. She talked to him a great deal about Mr. Chappell. She was provided with every necessary for her comfort except during the last three weeks when she re fused assistance from Mr. Chappell. She said she would have Mr. Chappell's affections or no money. Mr. Chap pell's lawyer came to witness and asked him to arrange terms of separation. He spoke to the prisoner on the subject, and from that time she refused assistance. His attention had been called to the prisoner's mind by the sister, who had frequently called upon him, and he ulti mately asked Mr. Byam to meet him. Elizabeth Mitchell, sister to the prisoner, was then ex amined, and her evidence went to show that for some time back, in consequence of the jealousy she entertained of Mr. Chappell, she became at times quite unconscious. She always expressed and showed the greatest affection for her child. She knew Mr. Chappell had told prisoner that he thought it would be for the happiness of both that a separation should take place between them, and withthat view his solicitor would call upon her to arrange the terms of separation. He also had told her that neither she or her child should ever want for anything. Mr. W. J. Byam, of Welbeck-street, surgeon, confirmed the evidence of Mr. Catherow as to the state of mind of the prisoner. Dr. Thorne, of Camberwell, who attended the prisoner in her first confinement, in June, 1862, gave similar evidence. He was positive at that time that if she became a mother again her mind or body would give way, or perhaps both. He saw her again on the 2d of August, when the child was dead. His opinion was that she was maniacal. He saw her again afterwards, and up to the last moment she was in a state of suicidal mania. Baron ➢Tartin said it was a question for the jury whether the prisoner was a responsible person. His own mind was clear upon the matter.. _ _ _ Mr. Clarke said there was much more evidence of the same kind. The jury then turned round to consider, when Baron Martin told them that the charge against the prisoner was one of murder, and could not be reduced to manslaughter. Everything depended on the state of mind. The jury then acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. Baron Martin said that in consequence of their verdict, the propriety of which it was impossible to doubt, the pri soner must be detained in custody until her Majesty's pleasure was known. '1 ho prisoner was then removed from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WEST-END BEGGING NUISANCE —A tall, strongly built fellow, named Daniel Sullivan, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. From the evidence of Wm. Gordon, 323 A, it appeared that he saw the prisoner last night begging at the door of the Junior United Service Club of the members as they entered or left. He saw the prisoner receive money of two or three of the members—who he (Gordon) had no doubt gave it him from fear—and he then took him into custody. On searching him at the station he found 4s. in his posses sion. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month with hard labour. A sturdy fellow named Casey was charged with a similar offence, 4s. 6d. being in his possession at the time. He was also committed for a month with hard labour. Mr. Knox inquired of Inspector Bowles whether the beg ging nuisance complained of in Regent-street and Bond street was so bad as formerly. Inspector Bowles said that since his worship had sent all the persons charged to prison there bad been almost an entire cessation of the nuisance. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE HAYMARRET.—Mr. Joseph Matthews, of 18, Edgware-road, gentleman, and Mr. John Jones, surgeon, were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket._ Mickleborough, 307 A, proved seeing the two defendants in the Haymarket, about a quarter-past one this morning, pushing against the passers•by. H e ex p os t u l a t e d w ith them, telling them that in such a place their conduct was calculated to cause a great disturbance, and they went on a short distance, but again repeated their unruly conduct, and Mickleborough then took them into custody. One of the defendants said they had been dining with some friends and got tipsy. -- _ Mr. Knox fined them 108. each, or seven days. Two females, named Ann Pearce and Emily Jervis,were next charged with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket, and assaulting Holden, 297 A. The case having been proved, they were committed for a month each. ................... WESTMINSTER. SPECINIEN or AN HONEST Boy.—John Garraway, a respectable-looking lad between 12 and 13, was charged with stealing a fowl under the following circumstances:— Alfred Lovelock, 336 13, said that at 7 o'clock on Tues day evening he was on duty in Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner and three other boys loitering round the shop window of Mr. Williams, cheesemonger and poulterer, 24, Elizabeth -street. Having his suspicions aroused, he watched them, and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner go inside the shop and steal a fowl, upon which witness went up to hint, and, finding the fowl under his coat, took him to the station, the other lads escaping. Mr. Wilkins having identified the fowl, Mr. Arnold asked if there was any ono present belonging to the lad. The prisoner's father here stepped forward. Mr. Arnold --Your boy is charged with stealing a chicken. What have you to say about his general conduct ? s as honest a c hild, your worship, as The Father — He' ever stood upright in shoe leather. (Laughter, in which the magistrate joined.) lam a French polisher, and sent him out with a job yesterday, when he got along with some other boys and they set him on ; and I hope you'll not send him to prison till the other boys are found, Mr. Arnold—That's all very well, hut hero the constable saw him take the fowl and took it from him. What have ysu to say, boy ? Prisoner—l am very sorry I took it. Mr. Arnold—l mu st say that, for "as honest a child as ever etood upright in shoe leather," this is a most impu dent robbery. You are remanded fora week. The father here comm against the a wed inveighing con stable for not apprehending the other boys, and was turned out of court, declaring that his boy should not go to prison without them, FUE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1863, Sketched. The defendant—There, 2s. costs, first time, 2s. costs the second time, and ss. fine the third time. The defendant was fined 10S. FIFTEEN TIMES CONVICTED.—A well-known and despe• rate thief, who gave the name of John Walbrook, was charged with stealing money from a till in the Shakspere Head public-house, in Jubilee• street, Stepney. Miss Grace Mare, barmaid, said—l was in the bar parlour this morning, and heard the jingling of money. I went into the bar, and saw the prisoner leaning over the ccunter, with his hand in the till, which was open. He was in the act of taking some halfpence out of the till. He dropped them when he saw me, and rushed out of the house. I called out '• Stop thief," and he was caught and detained. Mr. James Griffin, Imspector of the K division, said—l know the prisoner well. I believe his real name is John Middleton. Ho was here on th 3 22L1 of May last for opening a parlour window and stealing a watch. He was remanded, and when he was brought up a second time H.awkes, a City police-officer, proved twelve convictions against him. Two of them were at the Sessions, and ten were summary ones. I know of three more. Mr. Partridge—What became of him last time he was here. Witness—Mr. Woolrych sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Partridge—Then I shall commit him for trial. The Great Confederate Chiefs Re- JEFFERSON DAVIS. "During the week, after the battle of Manassas, when the weather had cleared and the scorching July sun blazed again as of old, by common consent we all took to the woods, and encamped there. As for Jeff Davis,' it appears that when the rout of the enemy was complete, he had ridden without escort along the lines—but his features and figure were so well known that he was quickly discovered, and loud yells of delight rang out from our whole army. Taking a d v antage of the fall of the evening, he ' dropped in' upon our officers (many of whom were fellow-townsmen), or ea•members of the U.S. branches of Legislature) to have a quiet chat. As I had never seen a live Pre sident, my curiosity was on the qui vire, and when hi s presence was whispered to me, I found him sitting at our colonel's tent door, with a circle of captains and lieu tenants, conversing very quietly on State affairs, but with no more animation or sign of pleasure than if a victorious army was not around, or a beaten one flying from him. In citizen attire, with beaver hat, and smoking a cigar, he lis tened to all that was said, assented cr dissented with a nod o f t h e head, and some time after, mounting his grey mare, amtled off to Manassas, as unostentatiously as if he were the least person in the Confederacy. Since then I have seen the President frequently on different fields of battle, and have observed little change in his habitually modest and t h o ughtful demeanour, although on many occasions his proud and victorious troops, unconscious of his presence, were rending the skies with their shouts, or charging the enem y with unexampled fury." " STONEWALL" JACKSON'. " Stonewall" may be a very fine old gentleman, and an honest, g ood-tempered, indu s t r i ous man, but I should admire him much more in a state of rest than continually seeing bin' moving in the front. And such a dry old stick, too lAs for uniform, he has none—his wardrobe isn't worth a dollar, and his horse is quite in keeping, being a poor lean animal of little spirit or activity. And don't he keep his aides moving about I Thirty miles' ride at night through the mud is nothing of a job ; and it they don't come up to time, I'd as soon face the devil, for Jackson takes no ex cuses when duty is on hand. He- is about thirty-five years old, of medium height, strongly built, solemn and speaks but littl e , an d a : ways i n a ca l m , de thoughtful, n id e d tone; and from what he says there is no appeal, for he seems to know every hole and corner of the Valley, as if he made it, or, at least. as if it had been designed for his own use. He knows all the distances, all the roads, even to cow-paths through the woods, and goat tracks along the hills. He sits his horse very awk wardly, although, generally speaking, all Virginians aro fine horsemen, and has a fashion of holding his head very high, and chin up, as if searching for something skywards ; yet although you can never se e hi s eyes f or t h e cap - pea k drawn down over them, nothing escapes his observation. His movements are sudden and unaccountable ; his staff don't pretend to keep up with him, and, consequently, he is frequently seen alone poking about in all sorts of holes and corners, at all times of night and day. I have fre quontly seen him approach in the dead of ni g ht a nd e nt e r into conversation with sentinels, and ride off through the darkness without saying, God bless you,' or any thing civil to the officers. The consequence is, that the officers are scared, and the men love him. He was a student at West Point, but never remarkable for any brilliancy. What service he has seen was in Mexico, where he served as lieutenant ot artillery. At one of the battles there his captain was about to withdraw the guns, because of the loss suffered by the battery, and also because the range was too g reat.. This d id not suit our hero ; he adv ance d hi s piece several hundred yards, and 'shortened the distance,' dis mounted his opponent's guns, and remained master ot the position." To the above the writer appends the following note General Jackson was never known to pnt his horse out of a trot, except when d es i rous of escap i ng the cheering of his men, on which occas i ons h e wou ld raise his cap, discovering a high, b a ld fore bead, and force his old sorrel' int o a ga ll op. T h i s old i so rrel' war-horse is well known throughout the army ; with head down it seldom attempts more than a trot, but stands fire well, and that may be th e reason why the gene ral prefers a nd always rides him. Many gentlemen, im w-ining that the hero would appear to better advantage on :blood animal, have presented several to him, but they aro seldom used. When our army entered M ar yl an d, i n Sep tember, 18 62 , in order to get in the rear of General Miles at Harper's Ferry, and secure the 14,000 men under his com mand, Jackson's corps was stationed eas t o f F re d er i ck, and an infl u ential citizen, in token of a d m i rat i on, gave the com that he m i g ht appear to n the publi c s t reet, and was ian der advantage. a very j a valuable ks on mounted i m mediately tely thrown into the mud ! The old sorrel' was again brought forth, and the gener a l ambled off, very good• h umo uredly, never essaying to mount fine' horses again." Statue of the Emperor Napoleon I. The Monitor has the hollowing on the statue of the Place Vendome :—" A modification which will be viewed with satisfaction by all artists is at this moment in course of execution at the column of the Place Vendome. The present statue of the Em peror Napoleon I. is to be replaced by one similar to that which was fixed on the column under the first Empire. It is well known that the Emperor, wishing to perpetuate the memory of the glorious campaign terminated by the battle of Austerlitz, ordered the erection of a column with the bronze of the cannon taken from the enemy. This monu ment, begun in 1806 and terminated in 1810, was surmounted by a statue of Napoleon L in heroic costume, in conformity with traditional usage. This statue, the work of the ecuiptor Chaudet, was taken down in 1814, and afterwards melted to cast the statue of Henry nr., now on the Pont-Neuf, A Royal ordonnance of the Bth of April, 1831, ordered the restoration of the Imperial statue only ; instead of preserving the original cos tume the Emperor was represented in the dress he usually wore when with the army. This new statue was placed on the column in 1833. Since that date the change made in the costume has been much criticised, It must not be forgotten that this occa sion was a kind of apotheosis, and that, if it is allowable to give the statues which commonly de corate our public places the costumes habitually worn by the men they represent, it cannot be the same with statues intended to surmount a triumphal column. The ancients were well aware of this, as shown by Trojan's column, of which .the column in the Place Vendome is an imitation. The Emperor Napoleon 111., faithful to the reminis cences of the Firsi, Empire, wished that the effigy of the founder of the dynasty should be re-estab lished on conditions in conformity with traditiont. The new statue, confided to the talent of M. Dubmounit, member of the Institute, and cast by is completed, and will be shortly put inl\litrsid' holds in one of its hands the same Win ge been pro ea victory r l y t es the statue had in 1810, and which hob harmonise served, and the beauty of its lines with those of the column. Atget,hhe u : e a l o nu m e r t r i e m b e t n t d h e a d t the Emperor ordered this chan rated by thirty that the present statue, ysuearws,ellandkuur: purestebortuiunggbutuehotenstebneelilitwarbyulecowstourt ought to remain before the eyes of the people and of the army ; and he ordered that a pedestal should be ere cted for it at th e Rond-Point of Courbevoie, at the corner of the Avenue de Neuilly. T h i s place is admirably chosen for such a nlimtneednet.l'Etloillee g round, which from the Arc de Triorni ll )h decl i nes towards the melee, again rises on the other side of the river, and offers a road-point which takes the name of Courbevoie, and from which several avenues branch off. It is in the middle of this p l ac e that the pedestal is being built, under the direction of M. Duban, the architect. The grandeur and simplicity of the monument, as well as the beauty of the granite used in its construction, will form a worthy support to the statue of the.grent teaan:' THAMES. A POLICE PENSIONS :4 FlNED.—Joseph Burton, a hoer seller, and formerly a po lice -constable of the K division, who has been In the receipt of a p ensi on for the last four years, was charged on a summons with having his house opens]. for the sale of ale and beer on the morning of Sun day, the 18th instant, before the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon, the saute not being then and there for the re freshment of travellers. George Clark, a po lice -constable, No. 145 K, sa id th a t h e saw a little girl leav e the def'endant ' s h ouse at h a lf pas t 10 o'clock on the morning in question with beer in a jug, At 11 another girl came out with malt liquor in a mug and another person went in. At 20 minutes past 12 a man canto out with a bottle unde,... his coat. It contained a pint of malt liquor. The defendant afterwards met him and abused him. l ie was called a 1)----y scamp, and other opprobrious names. The defendant said he served no one on the morning in question, and the man wile left his house had some cod liver oil in a bottle, and he would defy any policeman to distnguish between coo l liver oil and beer. Inspector Griffin of the K division, said the defendant had been three times convicted for selling beer during the prohibited hours on Sunday, and although he was a pensioner on the Metropolitan Police Fund, he was very abusive to the police, and had used very bad language. The defendant—Now what sort of convictions were they, no fines were inflicted- Griflin—On the first two occasions he was fined 25., and on the third conviction , s'. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Oct. 27.—1 n export yarns a con siderable amount of business has been done at ex treme prices. In the early part of the morning the market was rather quiet, hut later in the day a good telegram from India was announced, quoting the market at Calcutta much excited, with a con siderable advance in yarns and cloths, which had the effect of imparting greater strength and acti vity to this market. Pri ces advanced id per lb., and in some cases sellers report ld advance as com pared with last Friday. The market for these de scriptions of (shipping) yarns closes with a strong A moderate business is also and buoyant feeling. reported to have been effected in cop yarns at an advance on last week. Manufacturers hesitated in the morning to give the advance, but on the whole a fair amount of business is understood to have been done, and the market for these goods is better than last week. Among the telegrams from India is one from Calcutta, dated the 13th of October, quoting 61b shiitings, 8d per piece higher; 71b do., 8d per piece higher ; 81b shirtings, 18d higher ; and cotton also considerably advanced. In the cloth market there has also been some improvement. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market last week checked, and, in fact, almost stopped business in calicoes, but the renewed activity at Liverpool of the last two days have been to some extent responded to here, and we have had considerable inquiry for most descriptions of cloth suitable to India, and many offers have been made. The dearer cotton market obliging manufacturers to further advance their quotations, these offers have in some cases been declined, and the business effected for actual ship ment is understood to have been small. Some sales, however, have been effected to shippers, where sellers were willing to meet buyers at something under extreme rates. A fair business has been done in some cases at the full advance, but it is generally believed to have been of a speculative character. LEEDS, 27th.—There has been quiet but steady markets in the cloth-balls to-day. A moderate amount of business was done in meltons, tweeds, and ordinary black cloths; but as the early part of the day was very foggy, the attendance of buyers was rather small. At the close of the markets a fair amount of heavy goods, such as pilots, witneys, left the halls, affording satisfactory proof that win ter fabrics are still in request by some of the retail dealers. Prices of woollen goods of all descriptions are very firm. The flax trade is busy, and both the raw material and yarns and threads are rising in price. Seldom have the flax-mill bands here been better employed than they are at present. NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a limited atten dance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was quiet, on account of the high prices asked ; the amount of business transacted was small, and extreme rates were maintained. For hosiery yarns the demand was also slow, at fully late rates. There is hardly so much doing in silks, prices remaining stationary. Nothing of import ance was done in brown nets. ROCHDALE, 26th.—With the approach of cold weather there is an increase in the demand for flannel, and manufacturers have no difficulty in getting quit of their products, though prices keep creeping up. Rarely have the manufacturers been clearer of stock than they are at present, especially of middle and low priced goods, which were well sought up to-day, there being a good attendance of buyers. Yorkshire goods also sold well, as they have done for some time past, and the makers hold prices very firmly. The wool trade is moderately active, but the high prices demanded by the dealers check operations, and purchasers are made mostly for im mediate requirements. SHIPPING—This Day.

The Secretary of State for War has received a Despatch from Lieutenant-General Cameron, C. 8., Commanuing the Troops in New Zealand, of which the following is a copy : Head-quarters, Queen's Redoubt, August 4. My Lord,—With reference to the reports I have for. warded to your lordship, relative to the operations in which the troops in this province have been engaged during the past month, I beg to state that their success has been owing in great measure to the valuable assistance rendered by Captain Sullivan, Senior Naval Officer at this station, and by the officers and men under his command. A large :party of seamen and marines of Jeer Majesty's ship Harrier have been encamped ou the bank of the Man gatwhiri river since the 11th ultimo, and their services have been of the greatest advantage to the force under my command, all the boats employed in conveying troops and supplies across to the Koheroa having been entirely manned by them. At my request Captain Sullivan has superintended the construction of six large fat bottomed boats, especially adapted for the transport of troops up the Waikato. Two of these have been brought overland from Auckland, a dis tance of 35 miles, to the Mangatawhiri, .where they have been extremely useful. Without the aid of such boats operations up the Wai kato could not be carried on, as there is no road on either bank of the river. For these services I am much indebted to Captain Sulli van, as well as for his cordial co-operation on all other occasions since the commencement of hostilities. Lordship that t ka at ik th at e e small fr colonial hiaalvsete also steamer the Manukau by Co mmander Mayne, of her Majesty's ship on a t° Av a o cq u 'l v a s al .nt br y on u g r h L t Eclipse, and is now at anchor off the Bluff Stockade, H a velock. at In reporting to Ca p tain Sullivan the perform ance of this important and hazardous duty, Commander Mayne spea k s hi g hly of the assistance he received from Captain Greaves, Acting Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster- General, by whom ho lower par. of the river was surveyed last summer. In justice to Captain Greaves, who is a most zealous and talented officer, I beg to forward Captain Sullivan's letter regarding his services on this occasion. The Avon is the first steamer that has ever been brought into the Waik ato, as it was supposed, p rev i ous to t h e sur e ve w y Io made er part e by C aptain itsu Co Greaves,rse renderedtha t thethe numerous passageof a shoals in the ste am er Avon ie' con carry 200 men; h er b ulwarks have been m iw a TPg d h e e s bullet-proof, and she is armed with a 12-pounder Armstrong gun. 1 have not doubt she will be of great service in our ope rations up the Waikato.-1 have, 'rim, D. A. CAMERON, Lieutenant-General. The Right. Hon. the Secretary of State for War. Banks of Mangatawhiri, July 27. Sir,--I have the honour to inform you that the Colonial steam vessel Avon has this day arrived at Havelock, and is now ready for any service in which she can assist you. Commander Mayne, to whom I had confided the task of bringing the Avon from the Manukau into the Waikato, a liver hitherto considered navigable only for canoes, in his report to me, thus speaks of the valuable assistance rendered by Capt. Greaves, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-Gene ral :—" Capt. Greaves, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster- General, accompanied the vessel, and it is owing to his knowledge of the river and unflagging energy that the ser vice was accomplished so successfully; he preceded the vessel the whole way, sounding and showing the channel: and it is with pleasure I seize this opportunity of t en der-1116 him, through you, my he a rty thanks for his valuable a 3. &c., J.
