Mr. Seward has refused permission to certain parties to recruit 20,000 troops for the service of the Juarez Government, declaring that such proceed • ings would be a violation of the law, and that any one engaged therein will be prosecuted with all practical diligence. Mr. Seward's late speech at Auburn has ex cited some uneasiness in the public mind. The New York Herald and the TVorld think it rather oracu lar, and ask if, for instance, the rebellion should not be put down before March, 1865, is Mr. Lincoln to continue to hold the reins of Government, on the ground that he has not had the full advantage of his election in 1860. The Washington correspondent of the New York Rarald states that the Haytian Minister is so dis gusted with his treatment in Washington that he Will reside permanently in New York. It is rumoured that the military here are going to give an entertainment to Marshal Forey. The stock market shows continued heaviness. All railroad shares lower this morning.

When the beauty of the flower garden has all but passed away, and Flora, alarmed by the nightly frosts which winter sends before him to proclaim his coming, is preparing to take her departure, she bestows upon us, ere she goes, one of tha choicest of her gifts, the crysanthemum. That this long neglected flower is capablept being cultivated into a first-class one is most indisputably shown by the brilliant display at present to be seen in the Temple Gardens —thanks to the care and industry of Mr. Samuel Broome. In the gardens of the Inner Temple the collection is immense ; every size, shade, and form is there. from the pretty di minutive pompone to the magnificent and gigantic crysan themum, the Queen of England, all, without exception, flourishing most luxuriantly. A small portion of the upper parterre has been covered with glass, and here the flowers have reached unusual perfection, so that if the arrangement has been tried as an experiment, the result must have given the utmost satisfaction to all in. terested in the beauty of the gardens.. Amongst the lowers that at once arrest attention, is Progne, a magnificent tall flue- formed carmine flower ; Novelty, a pure white ; Gene- Tel Slade, Golden Queen, Grand Sultan, Aimas Ferriere, a beautiful incurued lower, silver white, delicately tipped with rose, Dupont de l'Eure, Seraph, Cleopatra, Cherub, another splendid incurued flower, Lord Palmerston, and .collectio n Beverley, .the & nest specimen, in our opinion, in the whole T he f lower is a p ure w hi te, an d t h e peta l s so work. The beautifully formed that it h as all the appearance of wax ponspones are exceedingly brilliant in variety and as endless as the crysanthemurns. The:lnner,Templars may well feel proud in the possession of such a splendid collec tion, and cannot but be thankful to Mr. Broome, for the care he has bestowed in their cultivation. The Middle Temple Gardens, though not so extensive, are equally re markable for their floral beauti es , and not withstanding the limited area, Mr. Dale shows, with great success, how lunch can be accomplished where the open apace is limited. The gardens are open daily to the public, but those who wish to view the crysanthemnms must not delay their visit. MARKETS—This Day, HAY MARKZT S.

Sugar, however, has been in steady request at fully late rates. Coffee nets been dull, and inferior descriptions have slightly declined, while rice, fruit, and spices have been dealt in to a moderate extent without any material change in values. The tallow market has been dull, chiefly in consequence of the unsettled state of political affairs in Russia and Poland. Two O'CLOCK. At a general meeting of the shareholders to-day of the Hudson's Bay Company—Sir Edmund Head presiding—a dividend of ss. per share was declared. As the principal sales took place in January and March, the accounts of the company were not made up till May, and until that time arrived the direc tors felt it to be impossible to fix the actual profit dividend for the year, bat from the prospects of the fur trade, and the general aspect of affairs, it was considered justifiable to recommend the dividend before mentioned. There is no material alteration to note in the market for the English Funds, the small amount of business that has been entered into having taken place at the quotations current yesterday afternoon. The general condition of the market appears to be good, an improving tendency having been induced by the greater confidence now felt in monetary prospects. Consols remain at 92f y for money, and at 91a 2, less the dividend, for the account.

A fair amount of business has been transacted this morning in the general discount market, where the mercantile public are:obtaining accommodation on three months' bills at six per cent., with occasional concessions of I- under that term. The advices received from Frankfort regarding a panic which prevails there in mone tary affairs, have not as yet influenced to any appreciable extent the market here. Bankers and brokers, whose capital had been lying idle for so long a time, now appear anxious to employ it at the current rates, although they are still evincing great prudence and unwilling to lock it up in long-dated securities. The 26th inst. has been fixed for a special settle ment in the City Bank new shares, and the Ist pros. in the Land Mortgage Bank of India, dealings in which are to be recorded in the official lists.

(Before the Judge-Ordinary.) HUDSON V. HUDSON. His Lordship gave judgment in this case, which, it will be recollected, was before the Court a few da3s ago. It was a suit for judicial separation on the ground of cruelty, pre sented to the Court by the wife. The parties were in a respectable position in life, the husband being a farmer. The petitioner complained that her husband brought home parties to supper with whom she could not associate--that he had threatened to "do" for her—and on one occasion when he took her out for a drive he wilfully upset the chaise, by which she was thrown out, and ho expressed his regret that she had not been killed. The respondent denied many of the allegations in the petition, and the Court took time to consider its decision. His Lordship this morning said he could not come to the same conclusion as the petitioner respecting the upsetting of the chaise. It was said by the respondent that it was raining at the time, and the accident was caused by her holding her umbrella before his eyes. He was, it appeared, also devotedly attacted to his child, who was there at the time, and he did not think it was likely he would have wished to injure it. Under all the circumstances of the case he should dismiss the petition. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

A special meeting of the members of this society was held last evening at the offices, 3, Waterloo place, Pall-mall, for the purpose of receiving the report of the special committee on the proposed union between this society and the Social Science Associa tion ; Vice Chancellor Sir Nl' ..Page Wood, in the 5 I chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, stated that the committee had fully considered the proposal referred to them, and recommended that the union should take place on such terms as should secure to the me m bers of this society n all ot the itno t privileges erpferorem their enjoyed object for action by in w t h h o m h ot w e ithn th ow e endeavour ing and th i s society was instituted. They, therefore, proposed as the basis of this union that the society should assign to the association its library. furni ture, monies at its bank its bankers , claims for subscrip tions due, and its interest in the agreement with Messrs. Rivington, absolutely, and give up to the association the office at W t I a er oosplace, the associa tion agreeing to pay all the debts and liabilities of the society, to maintain the library in its present efficiency, and to supply it regularly with the re ports and periodicals at present taken by the so ciety, or such reports and periodical publications as were necessary far a law library, to conduct the proceedings of the usual meetings of this society, and to print and circulate the papers read thereat, in the same way as the society had hitherto done, to admit all the members of the society in their respective capacities of life and ordi nary members, a s two guinea members of the association ; such members to have all the present privileges of the members of the asso. ciation. To place on the:council of the association all such vice-presidents of the society not now mem bers thereof, and to piece on the general standing committee of the "Department of Law Amendment and Jurispradence" all suc h of the 18 managers of the society not already members of that committee, and to empower such committee to appoint all exe cutive sub.commi:tee of 10 members to select the papers, fix the days, and regulate the proceedings of the fortnightly meetings on law amendment and jurisprudence, to control the printing and publica tion of the papers read at such meetings, and to discharge such other duties as might be specially delegated to them. Mr. HAWES, the treasurer, briefly stated the unfavourable position i n which the society stood in a pecuniary point of view, and said the coun cil thought that the proposed amalgama tion was the best course which could be taken under existing circumstances, inasmuch as they would be thereby released from all debts, and still retain all their present privileges. The commis sionera therefore proposed that a second committee should be formed to represent the interests of this society. Ho had lately gone through the whole of the papers read at the association meetings, and found that each year they had increased the num ber of papers, which had in times past been read exclusively at the meetings of this society. He con cluded by moving—" That the report be adopted, and that Messrs. Hawes, Henry Allen, Frederick Hill, James Parks, and Robert Wilson, form the committee for the purpose of concluding the nego tiations with the National Association." Mr. DANIELS, Q.C., seconded the motion, which, after a short discussion, was carried nem. con. The proceedings terminated in t he usual manner, In this case a petition was presented by the wife in 1858, and came on for trial in 1861. An a g reement was ma de be tween the parties, and the case did not proceed to trial, Mrs. Rowley undertaking n ot to p roceed further a g ai nst the respondent, bat she had since that agreement pre sented another petition praying for the dissolution of her marriage. Dr. Swabcy was heard on the part of the re spondent, and prayed that the petition might be dismissed, and Mr. Karslake opposed. His lordship said he should allow the respondent to put in a rejoinder to the petition. ROOKER Y. ROOKER V. NEWTON. In this case, it will be recollected, the marriage ceremony took place in Virginia, and the petition was presented to this Court by the husband, a clergyman, for dissolution of marriage. At the time the evidence was considered insuffi cient to prove the identity of the parties. His lordship now said he had deliberated on the case, and he was of opinion that the marriage ought to be dissolved, and he pronounced a decree /nu accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, THE QUEEN V. HAMILTON AND • OTHERS-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., showed cause against a rule obtained by U r.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AT THE LONDON PAVILION HERING THE GHOST PERFORMANCE.-Mr. Albert Smith, a young man, described as a clerk, of 10, Albert-terrace, Pentonville, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing from the person of Antoine Salcher, a German courier, a watch, while at the London Pavilion, Tichborne-street, the previous night. Prosecutor (through Mr; Albert, the interpreter) said-- At half-past 11 last night I was at the London Pavilion with two friends, one on each side of me, and just at the moment when the " Ghost" made his appearance, and I was deeply engaged in looking at it, I felt my watch drop oat of my pocket. I immediately seized my watch, which was dangling down, and on turning round saw the pri soner turning round and trying to get away from the place. I told the prisoner that he had better leave the place, but he did not move, as if wishing to take suspicion oft him. One of my friends, who is not present, saw something of it, and had his pocket felt too. Mr. Selfe—Were you dressed as you are now ? Prosecutor —I was. The prisoner was standing a little behind us. The policeman saw the watch out of my pocket, and then I gave the prisoner in charge. Prisoner—At the time the prosecutor speaks of I was standing by him, and the room was darkened to suit the " ghost." All I know is that although the gentleman spoke to me I did not understand him, and therefore I did not move away. The policeman must have seen that there was a good deal of pushing to see the " ghost." Mr. Selfe—What are you ? _ . . Prisoner—l am a clerk out of a situation, and have been only in London a week, having left a situation for a reason I need not explain. Having a little money I thought I would go and see the sights. I submit there is not evidence enough to convict me. Robert Martin, 86 C—Last night I was called to the prosecutor at the London Pavilion, and the prosecutor gave the prisoner into custody for stealing his watch. I went to the address the prisoner gave, and the landlady said she knew dae name, but that was all. Prisoner—That is not my mother. My wife and child are staying there, but we are not friends. Mr. Selfe-24 the evidence is slight I shall take your own bail to appear in a week, and if you do not appear you will be apprehended. WESTMINSTER. TOLL COLLECTORS IN "A Fix."—George Field and William Perkins, two respectable-looking young men, were charged with unlawfully passing over the now bridge, at Chelsea, without payment of the toll of a halfpenny each. G. Kay, a toll-collector at the bridge, said that at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon ho saw seven men coming within a few yards of the gate. They stood there two or three minutes, and then five of them rushed over the counter of the bridge without paying toll, and the two de fendants were amongst them. Witness called to them to stop, but they proceeded on, and, when they got over the bridge, turned round and laughed. The other two men of the seven first seen together paid their toll, but afterwards joined the others in Battersea Park. Witness obtained a police-constable, and followed the defendants and the other men up to the further end of Battersea, where they were found on the premises of a Mr. Williams ; but three of the men escaped, defendants alone being taken. The men were all quite sober. Field tried to make his escape as he was being taken. Field, in anwer to the charge, declared most positively that he was not one of the seven men. He was at Williams's when the toll collector arrived, but had been there some time previously. He had crossed the bridge hours before. Perkins said that he had paid his halfpenny toll at the gate, and could not understand why ho was taken into custody. Mr. A. Castle, defendant's employer, said that they were both very trustworthy, honest, respectable men, who had worked for him some time, and had confidence reposed in Lhem. The complainant and a second toll collector were ques tioned, and supported the charge against defendants. The latter repeated their story and said they could call witnesses. Mr. Arnold took bail for their appearance on Friday. I Business don• 161 60} ROWLEY V. ROWLEY. THAMES. ATTEMPT TO DROWN A BOY IN THE THAMES.—AIfred Blundell, an apprentice belonging to a coasting vessel called the Charles Napier, lying in the river, was brought for the second time before Mr. Woolrych charged with attempting to drown a boy named Thomas Kirby, in the service of the Great Eastern Railway Company. On Sunday morning last several boys, and among them the complainant, were amusing themselves in a ship's boat moored at Irongate Stairs, and while doing so an oar fell overboard. The boy Kirby was leaning over the side of the boat to recover the oar, when the prisoner, who had left the boat only a short time while he went on shore upon an errand, approached. Two boys jumped on shore and escaped. Kirby tried to follow them, but the prisoner was too quick for him, and while Kirby was running from one end of the boat to the other, the prisoner gave him a violent shove and forced him overboard in ten feet water, The boy went down and disappeared, and when he came up again the prisoner and a waterman named James Met calfe laid hold of him and brought him on shore. The boy narrowly escaped with his life. It was sworn positively, and not denied, that the prisoner shoved the boy over board, but on the other hand the prisoner promptly assisted Metcalfe in rescuing the body and taking him on shore. Mr. Woolrych said this was a case of a very serious nature, and must be sent before a jury. He committed the prisoner for trial for attempting to drown the boy. Mr. Gomm subsequently waited on the magistrate and asked him to dispose of the case summarily by the juil icti l l of a fine, or to allow the prisoner to compensate the injury and inconvenience he hadaustained• eßadopted. ties were willing that the latter course shouldbcd lad, theorhyparo- The prisoner was a very respectable, well•_coosh i p Charles apprenticed to Mr. Henry Kent, master of tb voyage Napier, which was about to procee d on a already coasting seved to Valentia, in Ireland.

T H E STATE OF CAPTAIN SIIANIT.—Mr. Foreman Swanton's bulletin posted yesterday at Watling-street en oioe.station, stated that the gallant captain was not so well that day, but considering all circumstances he might be said to be progressing favourably. Her Majesty the Queen had sent to inquire after his state, and the Duke of Sutherland and the late Lord Mayor (Alderman Rose) had attended personally to inquire after the captain. ITALIANS. — The novelty of the week has been Verdi's " Trovatore," with nearly a new cast for Paris. Mine. de Ia Grange and Mane. Lablache in Leonora and Azucena ; Fraschini 28 Manrico; and Di Luna by a new candidate for Parisian favour, M. Sterbini. The house was Crowded and the applause more than usually abundant, though the execution of the, opera was certainly not superior if equal to many representations of it we have witnessed here. Mme. de Ia Grange sang as sha always does like an accomplished artiste, but the character does not bring her talents out pro minently, like the Gilda of the same composer in parts of which she is incomparably fine. M. Fraschini was greatly applauded in Manrico, but it cannot be classed as one of his bust parts, and he was decidedly inferior to Tamberlik. M. Sterbini, who made his debut this evening, was so overpowered by nervousness that be was evidently unable to do justice to his capabilities; we there fore reserve our opinions upon him until a more favourable occasion. The redeeming point of the soiree was the Azu cena of Mme. Lablache, who gave the poor gipsy-mother with an animation and effect that matte the character stand out very conspicuously, and, in the great scene in which she describes the fate of her mother, displayed power and pathos of the highest order. Our old friend the immortal " Barbiere di Seviglia" brings up the rear, and Booth to say we have seldom or never seen the mercurial Tosnor so ill-provided for in Paris. Mane. Borghi-Mamo, the present Rosins, has been playing tricks, we fear, with her beau tiful contralto voice, until it has become a complete nonde script. This was her first appearance after a protracted ab sence; it is, therefore possible that she may be suffering under the temporary effects of cold or fatigue. We hope this is so, for we should indeed be sorry to witness the sacrifice of another fine organ to the insane passion among singers to change their voices, and to become what nature never intended them for. Mme. Borghi-Mauro was ap plauded, but without enthusiasm. M. Baraglia was the Almaviva ; his voice is thin and meagre, but he sings with taste, and does not want execution ; discipline may school him into something artistic and worthy the Italian Opera in Parts au rests,. he was also awfully afraid of his new public, so he may improve much by increased confidence. M. Revere was the Bartholo, and M. aniche the Basilio ; both appear well accustomed to the stage, which is the only commendation in our power to bestow, M. Delle Sedie was the Figaro, and though neither a Tamburini nor a Ronconi, played and sang so well as to carry off the honours of the night. I'ALAIS ROYAL —A vaudeville, eit "Un Tenor pour Tout Faire," has been p ermitted to pass muster here, but is scarcely worth this brief note of its existence. GERMAN THEATRE. —This little salle (Beethoven), under the direction of Madame Bruning, has recommenced its performances, with a much more complete company than that of last year. The unquestionable talent of Madam e Bruning and her daughter, Madame Wohlbruck, we have often had occasion to notice, and we will therefore confine our remarks to the new members of the company, begin ning with Madame Armand, who shines particularly in the part of a rustic girl who has become a baroness, and will not give up her country habits ; but she is ein ungeschlifener Dainiant, a rough dia mond speaking the Viennese dialect charmingly. Madame Haase, in another piece, delights the audience with the purest Berliner and excellent acting. Mesdames Herzog and Weber perform their less conspicuous parts very credibly. The comic actors, MM. Fleischer, Bussack, Werner,Weigelt,andliabner would not disgrace any charge. Such of our readers who have lived in Germany or know the language, or else have a tasto for German singing, are strongly recommended to visit this theatre, which will afford them unqualified amusement. It is rumoured that a comedy, which has been some time in rehearsal at the Theatre Francais, "La Nielson de Penarvan," will be first represented before the Emperor and his visitors at the Chateau to Compiegne. The author is said to be M. Jules Sandeau, who will be one of the guests on the occasion. The " Moise" of Rossini is to be revived immediately at the Grand Opera, but the reason of its being brought forward is not very apparent. It is to be supported by Mlle. Marie Battu, MM. Obin, Villaret, and Faure, all respectable vocalists doubtless, but scarcely able to give popularity to an opera in which we have heard Rubini, Lablache, and Mlle. Persiani. • The concession of the privilege for a new theatre, L'Opera Populaire, to be erected in the neighbourhood of the Rue Cadet, has been granted to M. Roger, the tenor, formerly of the Grand Opera. M. Roger-Sevy, whose taste and talent in the execution of vocal melodies have justly obtained for him a reputation in musical circles, contemplates a journey to Italy, touching at Turin, Rome, Naples, &c. He announces a morning concert for the 2d December, at the Cercle Scniettis- Savantes, No. 3, Quai Malaquais. The Italian journals speak in the warmest terms of a young debutante, Mlle. Gonetti, who is now performing at Ancona with remarkable success in Donizetti's " Polinto." She is nightly encored in the grand air of Pauline, and is hailed quite as a rising star in the musical horiz )n. Mlle. Gonetti is a French lady, and studied in Paris under M. Panofka, to whose able tuition she is indebted for a most admirable method and brilliant execution ; Nature (these papers add), having bestowed the rest in a lovely mezzo soprano voice, and features of extreme beauty. NEW ITALIAN THEATRE.—A correspondent writes : " The opening of the theatre at Fiesole took place on the 20th Oct. An English gentleman, Mr. Spence, long a re sident in Florence, and now the possessor of the noble Villa Mozzi, on the slope of the Apennines, has made a princely present to the commune of Fiesole in building this pretty little theatre on the piazza, opposite to the grim old cathedral, whose belfry is visible for miles around. Every one knows Fiesole, the mother of Florence perched on the lofty hill, three miles off. Once a great Etruscan city, Fiesole is little more than a village now, and it is hard to understand whence the pit and boxes of the new Teatro Spence will receive their plenishing of spectators, especially in boisterous winter nights. Nevertheless they were crowded on the opening night with Floren tine visitors as well as the indigenous beauty and fashion. The orchestra of the Pergola and several public performers of repute executed a variety of pieces, vocal and instru mental, in excellent style. Madame Grisi, the owner of the grand Old Villa Salviati close at hand, though she has left the stage as a profession, sang an air from the " Puri tani," and another from the " Trovatore," With wonderful voice and spirit. The applause was overwhelming ; and the generous builder of the theatre was enthusiastically called for, and received with well-merited honours. All the performers gave their assistance gratis—and the pro ceeds :of the fete were distributed among the poor of Fiesole. After the concert, a splendid supper was laid for some 40 or 50 guests, in the great hall of the Mozzi Villa, and Mr. Spence and others of his friends enlivened the re past, after true old Tuscan fashion, with rhymed toasts improvised on the names of those whose healths were drunk, the master of the house himself welcoming Madame Grisi in a gracefully turned Italian sonnet, of which lan guage he is a perfect master.—Galignarti.

Although the greater portion of the Liverpool accounts were settled at Shrewsbury, and a considerable amount of the business done at the latter meeting was squared on each succeeding day—except the Friday's transactions—still a guod deal of money had to change hands. There was a numerous attendance for the period of the year, and the usual routine work of paying and receiving was carried ou until a latish hour. At intervals some attempts were made at spectilation, but the ball could not be set rolling, and e xcept the few transactions below, and those not to heavy amounts, nothing was done on future events, Closing prices : TWO TIIOIJSAND GUINEAS. 11 to 2 agst Count F. de Lagrange's File de l'Air (tk) THE DErtny„ Ascot Chelmsford 2B Worcestr (Stuunicr) .. 30 JULY.

[The following appeared in the Third Edition of " Thq Sun" of last evening] : ALDERSHOT, Monday. The inquiry was resumed this morning. Troop Sergeant Major Robert Cotton, examined by Col. Sir A. Horsford fcr the prosecution.—l have been.lo years in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons. I knew Sergeant Major Lilley from the day I first joined the regiment till the day of his death. In my opinion he was a hard working, industrious, and sober man. No orders were given. to me to place him in arrest. I did not place him in arrest. I believe he was placed in arrest by Lieut. and Adjutant Fitzsimmons. Q.—Do you know what the orders for his arrest were ? Col. Crawley objected to theireoutents being stated if they were in writing, unless they were produced. The CLurt allowed the objection. Examination continued—l am not aware whether the orders were in writing or not. Lieut. Fitzsimons gave me orders about the arrest on the day it took place. Colonel Crawley submitted that the witness should be asked whether the orders were in writing, and objected to evidence being given of the contents of documents that were in existence. A long consultation ensued, which resulted in the exa mination proceeding, Colonel Crawley withdrawing his ob. jection. Witness—l cannot positively swear whether Lieut. Fitz simons gave the order verbally or dictated it. I took it down in writing. I cannot recollect what became of it. I copied the order into a small book I had at that time. I have a slight remembrance of Lieut. Fitzsimons asking me for a copy of the order, but whether I gave it or not I cannot recollect, nor what has become of the small book, I paraded the guard that was to be placed over the prisoner, and read the orders to them. I then gave them over to the sergeant of the guard. I remember Lieut.-Col. Crawley making a remark in the orderly room about posting tlaa sentries, but the purport I do not recollect. Q. Did you make any remark to him F—A. I did. I re-. marked that Sergeant Major Lilley was a married man, Q. What did Colonel Crawley say?—A. He asked me how I dared disobey his o rders or the major general's. Q. Did he then give y ou any order I'posted, pos ted, that is, insiae the gn u _ tees. I t A.

The c wsg." - m a jor John Edward Swinley, of the 6th Dragoons, said toirodnerhlaydrbeeoenin held wCirtahwtlheye prisoners, and asked Lieut. Fitz uthnadtera arrest comm uinnitchae gowns whether he kn ew what was meant by close arrest. The lieutenant said he did, and that it meant placing sentries ever the prisoners. Col. Crawley remarked that it meant no such thing, and that it meant that the prisoner should be watched night and day. On that occasion Sergeant Major Cotton informed the colonel that Mr. Lilley was a married man, and lini ment had to be rubbed on his wife ' s chest, upon which the colonel remarked that, married or single, officer or soldier, his orders should be carried out. Quartermaster Wooder and other officers were present. I think Captain Weir was one of the officers present. A complaint was made to him that a communication had taken place be tween a person named Gibson and the prisoners, but find ing that there was no sufficient ground for the complaint against Gibson, he ordered the private (named Liddell) who was said to have allowed the communication he take place, to be released, The following mornmg ion. was reprimanded by Colonel Crawley for his de cision. his He expressed his sorrow if he had erred i s judgment,and said he did not think he had,ashethe theremo was examined the witnesses, and decided Cravi t; n re. was nothing against the prisoner.
