MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very inactive. In prices, however, no change of importance took place. Good and fine malting barley was in request, at extreme rates. Other articles, however, met a slow sale, at previous quotations. The demand for wheat and flour at New York for this ccuntry continues limited, and the shipments still show a considerable falling off from last year. On the Continent produce generally is without material change in value. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain, &c., were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 6,011 quarters of wheat, 3,821 barley, 7,822 oats, 4,622 beans, 2,375 peas, 315 tares, 24,998 linseed, 17,872 rapeseed, 5,586 maze, 380 sundry seeds, 350 sacks, and 3,111 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, were very small, and but moderate by rail. The condition of the produce on the stands was but middling. Although the show of samples exhibited for sale was very moderate, the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish state. The supply of good and fine dry produce was sold at the rates currant on Monday last; but the bulk of the supply of damp qualities was either disposed of at a reduction in prices of is per quarter, or was left unsold at the close of business. The supply of foreign produce on the stands was season ably large. The demand for all descriptions was far from active, and barely an active business was transacted. Prices however ruled stalionarj and without change from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. With good and floe barley, the market was scantily sup plied, and samples suitable to malting purposes sold readily, at extreme rates. There was a full average supply of medium and inferior barley on the stands, and such moved off heavily, at late rates. Good and fine new malt was in fair demand, at full prices; otherwise the malt trade was quiet, at late quota'ions. For rye the trade was dull, at 263 to 28s per quarter. The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. For all qualities the trade was firm, and prices had an upward tendency. Beans commanded more attention, at fully Into rates. The market was very moderately supplied with English produce. Peas sold steadily, cud prices ruled firm, the supply on offer being small. The demand for flour was by no means active, yet prices ruled stationary. The supply of barrels has not increased. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASUAR.

The bulk of the supplies brought forward is still taken by our own manufacturers ; but there is, at the same time, a moderate demand for export to Germany. French and American buyers have, as yet, transacted very little busi ness. Van Diemen's Land and greasy Adelaide produce is now selling at the rates current last series; but Port Philip, Sydnoy, New Zealand and Cape parcels move off at a reduction in value of id to ld, whilst scoured Port Philip wools show a reduction of ld to l d per lb.

On Saturday Frederick Edward Karl Kohl, who stands charged with the murder of Theodor ChristianFuhrhop,was brought up on remand before the bench of magistrates at Ilford. Mr H. Gifford, instructed by Mr Pollard, solicitor to the Treasury, attended to sustain the prosecution on the part of the Crown ; and Mr H. 'Wood, of the firm of Wood and King, solicitors, Basinghall-street, appeared on behalf of the prisoner; whilst Mr Superintendent Howie attended to watch the caso on the part of the police. The court was densely crowded. The prisoner was placed in the dock shortly after 11 o'clock, and a plan of Plaistow Marshes, with the spots where the body and head of the murdered man were dis covered, indicated thereon, was produced before the court. The prisoner appeared perfectly calm and self-possessed, and listened attentively to the evidence read over and given against him. The greater part of the evidence was a repetition of that given before the coroner's jury. The additional witnesses were—James Warren, the previous landlord of the mur dered man, who deposed to seeing him with gold in his hand on the Monday previous to the murder, and identifi3d a peculiar key found on the prisoner us having belonged to the deceased ; William Jackson, a greengrocer, who saw the prisoner two days after the murder with four sovereigns, besides silver, in his hand; and Mrs Mary Ann Hooper, who deposed to having seen the prisoner on the Monday after the murder close to the reed bed, where the body and head of the deceased were found. At the conclusion of the reading of the depositions, The chairman of the bench, Mr Gurney Fry, addressed the prisoner, and told him he was committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of the wilful murder of Thecdor Christian Fuhrhop. If he wished to say anything he could, but it would be taken down as evidence against him. The Prisoner—l understand, I have nothing to say. The prisoner, who did not appear in the least disconcerted, was about to be removed when ho said he wished to speak to the magistrates, but profaned doing so after the people had gone. • The Chairman said, as the prisoner's legal adviser had Taft, he had better not say anything, unless he wished to make some application. The prisoner said ho wished that his wife might be per. witted to come and see him, as he wonted to sea her about his food. The Chairman said no doubt that would be complied with, but the prisoner would be removed to a London prison, and he could then make his application. The prisoner was then removed. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Owing to the prevailing strong gales of wind having pre vented the arrival of several vessels laden with stock, the supply of foreign beasts and sheep in to-day's market was limited, and sales progressed steadily, on higher terms. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were limited, and in but middling condition. The supplies from Ireland and Scotland were only moderate—. 47 bullocks having been lost in the Aberdeen boats wrecked off the Tyne. All breeds of beasts commanded a steady in quiry, at an advance in the quotations compared with Mon day last of 2d per Blbs. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 6s 8d ; but the general top figure was 5s 6d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire,lwe received about 2,100 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 143 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 350 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was small, but in improved condi. tion. The mutton trade was very firm, and the currencies advanced fully 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was 5s 10d, but some prime Downs were disposed of at Gd per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved off freely, at 2d. per Blbs. more money.

(Before Mr Commissioner Geulbourn.) IN RE RILEY AND GRISSEN.-SINGULAR APPLICATION• Mr Chidley applied ender the following circumstances:— It appeared that the bankruptcy occurred in 1862, and in April of that year the bankrupts came up to pass their last examination and for their discharge, but the orders of dis charge were suspended for six months, and in one instance without protection. Mr Chidley said the bankrupts be came so alarmed that they rushed out of court without even signing their last examination. It was therefore asked that the court would now allow the bankrupts to sign as of the date named and to take their orders of discharge. His Honour said there was nothing in the proceedings to show the bankrupts had passed, and the case must stand over to endeavour to trace the facts in the Registrar's book, Adjourned for that purpose. TALLOW. The tallow trade is firmer than on Saturday ; but prices are lower than on Monday last. New P.Y.C. is quoted at. 41s 3d per cwt on the spot. Rough fat is selling at 2s lid per 81bs. Town tallow commands 41s 3d net cash. IN RE CULLEN. This bankrupt was described as of the Duchess of Kent, Ramsgate, licensed distiller. 'llas bankrupt was opposed on behalf of Messrs Elstock and Bishop and others, on the ground of obtaining goods from the distillery without reasonable prospect of being able to pay. Mr W. R. Buchanan for the assignee did not oppose, and said that the bankrupt attributed his failure to the bad ness of the season and other cause:, one of which was the new railway. The bankrupt was born in the house ho now lived, and for 14 years had paid £3OO a year to the opposing creditors. His Honour asked how the railroad interfered with the bankrupt? The bankrupt said it took all the traffic away from the house. His Honour thought the bankrupt had acted impru dently, but the distillers, who generally looked out for themselves, ought to have made inquiries. Order suspended for six months, with protection. TILE DANISH W.A.E. -IN RE EYRE. This bankrupt was a corn merchant in Maik-lane, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. Mr J. B. Sorrall, Mark-lane, appeared to support the petition. The debts amount to £2,B33—assets small. Bankrupt attributes his losses to the Danish war. M. Julius E. Baerholzn, Catherine-court, Seething-lane, merchant, was chosen assignee, and Mr Sorrell executor to the estate. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.) THE GREAT HALF BROTHER MARRIAGE QUESTION- SUDDEN V. ENGLISH. This was a case reported sow , t i me since, in which the defendant pleaded her coverture to an action for rent. It transpired that she had married her deceased husband's half brother, and his Honour held that the marriage was invalid —but he allowed the case to stand over, in order that de fendant might make a settlement with the plaintiff. To day the parties appeared again before his Honour, and it was stated no money had been paid. Defendant's son-in-law said his mother was a married woman, and had been sued in her maiden name. Plaintiff well knew of this marriage. Plaintiff—l heard of it, but it is no marriage. Son-in-Law—That is what yeti say. His Honour—l have decided that already. Son•in-Law—And does your Honour still say that this is not a legal marriage ? His Honour—lt i; worth nothing. Son-in-Law--Then, I beg to say that there aro very great o pinion upon the subject. His of s of othere may be, but you must remember The Son-in-Law s a id that the plaintiff sued for £3 Ms, a nd only 108 was due, that in this court my o pi nion must prevail. Plaintiff produced his rent book, and said that money was all owing. It was then stated that the quasi husband was 70 years of age, and would have paid the money if the defendant had allowed him, mthaeTnhne son-in - law, late at night or early in the morning in a very indecent plaintiff said that Mrs made the plaintiff to grant time. man removed with her hteor spend s uu ordof for defendant to pay the upon this, de r manner, ud honeymoon.t that t s(hLea (Laughter,) r h n . ) e g o n l s d h parted—evidently still smtrononneisgy'llinaonandoisruerocptohimnenimon that the marriage was a good one. RAILWAY PRISONS.—The Lo r d Advocate, M.P., delivered a lecture at Po r tobello ( the op en i ng o f th e winter course ), and Fridayin an o u length, rse),on e evenin g , had discoursed at con siderable agreeable and attractive style, on the evidences of social progress. Speaking of the impos sibility of assigning a limit to discovery and invention, he remarked —Posterity will, no doubt, praise your ingenuity ; but posterity will also, as it is wont to do, speak of you also with contemptuous disparagement, Posterity will say— " What times those were when travellers were stopped at Begshot, or Hounslow, or Shooter's-hill. Railways no doubt Put an end to these adventures, but only to give rise to greater danger. Would you believe it ?" My successor in this hall may say in 1061—" Would you believe it, 100 years ago they treated a traveller like a convict? They looked him in a box, and, ill or well, living or deed, no man could see him, and he co uld see no man, until he had gone 40 Ile might o be ra shut villain; with a murderer, he might die of ru a mileasa.mlatni,swaitfhacat. drunkard, apoplexy ; ho might have his throat cut ; all thia was thought of no consequence at that time, The simple ar rangements which we now make were often proposed, but resisted with frantic wrath as being utterly impracticable. They had built their carriages for people to be imprisoned in them, and therefore imprisoned they must be. The easy expedient of a gangway outside the carriage and a bOl inside was assailed with a hundred good and conclusive objec tions. People would use it recklessly ; and it was a pity to disturb the guard when asleep when ho ought to be awake, It would enable anybody to stop the train, although, as you all know, it does not enable any one to stop the train ; it would enable thieves to reach the carriages and to escape—which is about as good a reason for not making a road to your house." And thus would the lecturer in H;Cil keep his audience amused by the preposteroes and stolid follies of these times. It is pretended that there is no satis factory proposal for remedying the evil. I answer there are a hundred ways of remedying the evil, and the worst of them is not so bad as the state of things which exist?. It is high time that progress travelled by rail. Double Murder in Leicestershire. Great consternation prevailed in Leicester at an early Lour on Saturday morning in consequence of a report be- ing extensively circulated that a moat horrible tragedy had been perpetrated at Syston, a village about four miles dis tant, at a late hour on the previous nigh+, and that the murderer had been taken to Leicester and locked up at the county police station. The murderer is a man named Timothy Baum, aged 28, a wheelwright, living at Syston, and his victims his wife, Jane Baum, aged 32, and his only daughter, Emma Baum, 11 months old. The particulars of this dreadful occurrence appear to be as follows : About 11 o'cicck on Friday night the murderek's mother in-law, Mrs Jane Shelton, who lived with her daughter, was asleep in a room adjoining that in which the prisoner and his wife and chil i were sleeping, when she was dis turbed by the cries of the child. On getting up and going towards the prisoner's bedroom, she met the prisoner com ing out of his room with a bloody knife in his hand, and his shirt also bloody. She asked him the cause of it, but he made no reply, and at once made an attempt to cut his throat, but he was frustrated in his design, as the weapon was dashed out of his hand by Mrs Shelton. He then rushed downstairs, but returned in a few minutes with the knife-box in his hand, and was feeling as if in search for the carving-knife, which fortunately did not happen to be there. With great presence of mind Mrs Shelton also dashed the knife-box out of his hand, seized him, and dragged him into a bedroom, where she pushed him into a chair, and cried out'' Murder." This brought to her assistance a youth named Toone, an apprentice, who slept in an adjoining room, and he speedily gave the alarm to the neighbours, and prisoner was arrested, Mrs Shelton then went into the bedroom and found her daughter lying in bed with a stab in her throat, quite dead, and her child lying at her side, also with its throat cut ircm ear to ear, and wel tering in an immense pool of blood. Mr J. C. Robinson, surgeon, Sybton, was sent for, and on his arrival he pronounced the infant to be still alive, bat notwithstanding his medical skill the poor thing - only lin gered till about 3 o'clock, when it expired. As the prisoner had been in a low way for some time past under Mr Rokinson's treatment, the latter did not consider him in a condition to be removed during that night. He was there-- fore kept under the surveillance of the police, and conveyed to Leicester on Saturday morning and lodged at the county police-station_ From the position in which the mother and her child were found, the former with her left arm in bed, and the right arm outside over the clothes, with her infant at her side, there can be no doubt they were murdered in their sleep. Death must have been instantaneous to :he mother, as the stab, which was on the right side of the throat, was a very severe one, close to the artery. We understand that the unfortunate woman was near her confinement. The prisoner was taken before the magistrates sitting at the county police-effice on Saturday at noon, and was re manded till Wednesday. The Yelverton Marriage Case. _ In the Court of Session, Edinburgh, on Saturday, this case was called upon a petition on the part of defender and respondent, the Hon. Major Yelverton, to apply the judgment of the House of Lords, and a note for the pursuer and appellant, Mrs Theresa Longworth or Yelverton, praying leave to move the court to supersede consideration of the petition, to apply the judgment, and to allow a condescendence of res noritcr to be received and added to the record and remitted to probation. Mr J. Campbell Smith, who appeared for Mrs Yelverton, said he did not think the case was ready for discussion. He sug gested that their lordships should allow the proposed condescendence of res noviter to be received and seen, and allow the pursuer to print it along with two affi davits which they had in support of it, and which he believed would make out a very strong case. The Lord President said there could be no objection to printing the manuscript note that the other judges might see it, but to allow a condescendence to be given in would be taking a step in one direr- Lion, Mr. Gordon, for Major Yelverton, objected to anything being done till their lordships came to dispose of the motion to apply the judgment. That was the proper time for making a motion if it be a competent motion. After some discussion the Lord President said : The pursuer can, without an order, print this note, and append to it the proposed con descendence, and we will let the matter drop in the meantime. The following io the condescen dence of res noviter which the pursuer proposes to put in :—" Since the judgment of till House of Lords, the pursuer in the declarator of marriage has been informed of certain facts that would have been proved had they come to her knowledge before the proof was closed. Rya letter sent to her in the beginning of August, 1864, she was informed that Major Yelverton, the defender, had, when on a visit to his brother Fre• derick, now deceased, during the last illness of said Frederick Yelverton, acknowledged and admitted he had married the pursuer in Scotland, and re• newed his marriage vows in Ireland ; that he had made said acknowledgment to the said Frederick in presence of Sarah Mullins, who was at the time attending him as sick nurse. The said Sarah Mul lins died in the Meath Hospital, Dublin, and when she lay there in a dying state she was attended by the Rev. George Campbell, A.M., a clergyman of the Church of England and Ireland, and she in formed him of what had passed between the two brothers in reference to Major Yelverton's marri age, and the said clergyman communicated to the pursuer wftat he had been told by the dying woman, after the reversal of the interlocutors of the Court of Session by the House of Lords had sug gested to his mind that additional evidence might be of consequence to the pursuer. She now desires leave to prove that Major Yelverton acknowledged to Frederick Yelverton, his brother (now deceased), in presence of Sarah Mullins, that ho had married the pursuer in Scotland, and that he had previously made similar acknowledgments, so that the said Frederick Yelverton fully believed that Major Yel verton had married the pursuer in Scotland. The pursuer now believes that Major Yelverton had made similar admissions to his father and other relations; and she intends, if an opportunity be al lowed her, to examine them as witnesses." SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A CONSULAR AGENT.— Richard Hoffenden, a foreign sailor, was apprehended in Liverpool on Friday, by an Irish police-officer, Ohargcd with having murderously assaulted Mr. Isaac Notter, Belgian t;onsular agent at Crookhauen, by striking him on the forehead with an iron belaying-pin some days since It is said that there is but small hope of Mr, Notler's re covery. The " Lancet" on the Turkish Bath in Disease. The recent death of Mr Longfield, a gentleman of consi derable property in Ireland, in his private Turkish bath, has attracted public attention, and deserves medical conei. deration in its relation to the influence of the Turkish bath on the treatment of disease. From the evidence at the in quest it appears that Mr Lorgfield, who was advanced in life, had for some years suffered with paralysis, and was of a rheumatic constitution. He had been ill for some years, and had derived groat benefit from the bath, so that he had fitted up one in his residence. Mrs. Long field reported that on the night previous to his attack, Mr. Long&ld awoke her, complaining of torturing and unbearable pain in the back of the head, and had re mained very unwell during the day. Ile went alone into hie bath. of which the temperature, however, was moderate (120 degs.), and after staying there some time, was found dead. Unfortunately no post-nr rtem examination was made, so that no ddiaite explanation of the cause of death can even be fairly guessed. No one seems to have any accurate knowledge either of the state of the heart or of the nature of the cerebral disorder under which Mr Long field obviously laboured. Whether or not the use of the bath was the direct or indirect cause of death really can not be stated by any one, and all guesses may be perfectly wide of the mark. Mr Longfield may have died from cerebral apoplexy, from rupture of an aneurism of the cere bral vessels, from syncope, or from other causes ; and it is possible that, as Dr Barter suggested, the death may have been altogether independent of the influence of the hot air, and such as might have occurred anywhere—at a railway station, in an omnibus, or sitting quietly at home. On the other hand, Dr Barter stated that when formerly Mr Longfield was brought to his public baths, he thought his condition very serious, and would not accept him unless ono came with him. There is an obvious caution to be drawn from this case, and there can be little doubt that a person in Mr Long&ld's state of health ought not at any time to have subjected himsA to that degree of excitement of the circulation Which the bath occasions without careful supervision, and that he 811(.8111d always have had an attendant with him. It would be idle to say that the Turkish bath should never be employed in any case where there is any disease of the heart, for attestel records show that patients suffering from well-marked valvular disease have in many cases derived considerable benefit from its medical use, and the records of more than one lunatic asylum show that the influence of the Turkish bath in varied forms of mental disorder and cerebral disease has been most beneficial. In fact, in the dropsy from heart-disease, as in the dropsy from kidney-disease, in albuminuria, and mania, the Turkish bath has proved a very potent agent. So that it would be injudicipus to attempt to lay down as a canon, that either heart-disease or cerebral disorder contra-indicate the bath—they may prove direct indications for it. But they certainly afford grounds for care, and reason for in sisting on close supervision and vigilant watching. The therapeutical effects of the Turkish bath deserve the con• tinued study of the profession—stripped of the exaggerated pretensions in its favour as a harmless and efficient universal panacea, it has proved itself, as we anticipated, a potent therapeutical agent. Sir John Fife, Dr. Barter, Dr. Lockhart Robertson, and others, hive, on a large scale, applied most usefully this invaluable introduction of Mr Urquhart, to whom a great debt is due for impelling the creation of these baths in London. At the Hammam in Jermyn 'street, and at the excellent baths of Messrs Pollard, in Bromptcn, great facilities are afforded for medical pur poses. At the latter establishment a considerable number of patients:have now been treated by mercurial fumigations for syphilis in this combination with excellent effect. Medical literature is as yet somewhat deficient in details; but the next few years will probably more than confirm our anti cipations of the services which the Turkish bath may ren der to medicine. Mr Lincoln and Mr Seward on the War, Oa the night of the 10th inst. a great crowd assembled in front of the White House at Washing. ton, and lustily congratulated Mr Lincoln on his victory. The President appeared at the window over the grand entrance, and was enthusiastically cheered. He then addressed the people as follows: It has long been a grave question whether any govern ment not too strong for the liberties of the people can be strong enough to maintain its own existence in great emer gencies. On this point the present rebellion brought our republic to a severe test, and a Presidential election occur ring in regular course during the rebellion added not a little to the strain. It the loyal, people united were put to the utmost of their strength by the rebellion, must:they not fall when divided and partially paralysed by a political war among themselves. But the election was a necessity. We cannot have free government without elections, and if the rebellion could force us to forego or postpone a national election, it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us. The s`rife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the case. What has oc curred in this case must ever recur in similar eases. .11. - , man nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shill have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us, therefore, study the incident of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be avenged. (Cheers.) But the election, along with its inci dental and undesirable strife, has done good. It has demon strated that a people's government can sustain a national election in the midst of a great civil war. (Cheers.) Until now it his been known to the world that this was a possi bility. It shows, alto, how sound and how strong we still are. It shows that, even among the candidates of the same party, he who is most devoted to the Union and most op posed to treason can receive most of the people's votes. (Ap plause.) It shows also, to the extent yet known, that we have more men now than we had when the war began. Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, and patriotic men are better than gold. (Cheers, and other demonstrations of applause.) But the rebellion continues; and now that the election is over, may not all having a common in terest re• unite in a common effort to save our common country? (Cheers.) For my own part, I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. (Cheers.) So long as I have been here, I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom. While lam duly sen sible to the high compliment of a re-election, and duly grate ful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed by the result. (Cheers.) May I ask those who have not differed with me to join with we in this same spirit toward those who have? And now let me close by asking three hearty cheers for our brave soldiers and seamen and their gallant and skilful commanders. At the conclusion of the speech, the crowd pro ceeded to the residence of Secretary Seward, who, in response to the call of the multitude, appeared at the upper window and said : Our old brethren of the South, who used to meet us up here in the Capitol, and with whom we used to have such pleasant social times, have pretended to set up a poor, ricketty Congress and Government of their own. (Laughter.) And you know what they did it for? They did it because they were afraid we should abolish slavery. They met in Richmond the first Monday of this month, and what do you think they met for ? They met to abolish the slavery of 200,000 negroes, to put with the army, that they might fight to keep all the rest of the negroes in slavery. (Laughter.) Well, we have got our old-fashioned re,;ular Congress, where there are seats kept open for them yet, and it meets on the first Monday in December. I am much mis taken if wo do not show our old friends down South a trick worth two of that they are practising. My impression is that, instead of abolishing the slavery of 200,000 negroes, they will do much the bettor thing of setting the constitu tional stamp upon the President's emancipation proclania. tion of 1862. 'Why, you seem to be very unanimous about that. (Cheers.) Well, I will tell you what is more serious than all that. Within three years from this time they well be just as unanimcus about it in Richmond as you are here in Washington. Well, fellow. citizens, we have all got to be friends. 'We have got to be friends with the Demo crats, who have been voting against us, and we will balance the account by saying that we voted against them ; and it now that the election is over, they conclude to be quits, we will agree to be all Union men hereafter, and we will ac knowledge that our party, as we saw things, judged them pretty harshly. I presume that four years hence we will be in perfect harmony, not only throughout all the free states, but throughout the whole Union. (Cheers.) And I will tell you why I think that will bo so. I came on the stage of ac tion not long ago—some years after the revolutionary war— and I used to hear my parents, and the men and women of that age, talk about the vest number of Tories who were op posed to the Government of the United States in the Re volution; and what surprised me above all things was, that at the expiration of 30 years afterwards there was not a Tory to be found in the whole United States. (Laughter.) I was never able to understand where they had all gone to. It was just so in the war of 1812. It is my judgment that we will all come together again ; that when the Stars and Stripes wave over Richmond the rebellion will go down; and that within one, two, three, and four years after that you will have to look mighty sharp to find a man who was ever a scessionist or an aider of rebellion. (Cheers.) I know that for that "era ut good feeling" the Democrats will have every encouragement to favour the people in the success of the war. Speaking el that, I had understood our opponents to say that this war was a failure, and that it was made to abolish slavery, Without accepting that as the object of the war which was to preserve the Union, we will take them on their own ground, and see how the matter stands. The first year of the war suppressed the Atrican slave trade in the United States; the second year of the war brought the negroes up to the level of soldiers of freedom and abolished slavery in the district of Columbia. the third year abolished slavery in Maryland; and if the Democrats think that the war has been a tailure this 3 ear, when Congress carves to • gether it will adopt a constitutional amendment and abolish slavery throughout the United States. (Cheers.) Now, 1 know that when slavery is removed, the only element; of dir•cori - 1 among the Ara , ikan pqp`e will h t( work its mischievous fruits ; but 1 know that it will not be the fault of the Administration it we do not have an area of peace and harmony, and go on resuming our proud career among the natirars, and advancing the interests of out country. of fteecluni, of self - government, and of nuwanitY• TIMID EDITIO:V, SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] SCUTIIAMPTON, Nov. 23. The Royal Mail steamship Atrato, with the above mails, which arrived here this morning, left St. Thomas on the 13. h inst. The news from the West India Islands is unimportant. The Govern. ment of Chili has acknowledged Spain and Peru belligerent Powers, and has proclaimed coal can. traband of war, and is not to be supplied to either nations. Two British vessels with coals on board, having arrived at Valparaiso were refused a clear ance without giving a bond of 30 dollars that tile cargoes should not be disposed of to Spaniards or Peruvians. Much agitation was occasioned by this course, but ultimately the vessels were allowed to, leave without giving a bond. The Spanish gunboat Vencedore had put into Lute, and was refused provisions, coal, or pernais. aion to repair her rigging. Trade was good, and home freights advancing. The transactions in copper were small. The policy of the new Minister of Peru indicates no change respecting the Spanish difficulty, and conforms to the Circular of the 9th September last, which the Minister says is not a law to 'nave war at all hazards, or peace at any prize, but re• quires war to recover the property of the country, and to wipe out the disgrace on the national honour. The South American Congress has not yet been 'ormally inaugurated. The British War steamer Leander was in Callao Bay. Peru Exchange on London, 440. to 45d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. OFFENSIVE HANDETLLS—APPLICATION TO TIIE MAGI • STRATH.—Mr E. Facon Watson, of the St. JdllloB'B Gallery of Art, Piccadilly, applie i to Mr Tyrwhitt for his advice, Mr Watson said ho had been greatly annoyed by persons prowling in front of his gallery and distributing handbills of a disgusting nature. Gentlemen visiting his gallery had had papers put into their hands which they had taken under the impression that they related to his gallery, but afterwards, much to their annoyance, found to be of a most offensive nature. lie had several times complained to the police, and had gone to the Vine-street station and seen the inspector respecting the nuisance. Fora time it was abated, but afterwards renewed. Mr Tyiwhitt said the persons could be prosecuted ii they distributed obscene papers. He would advise Mr Watson to consult the police again. He had no doubt they would look into the matter. Mr Watson thanked the magistrate and retired. DRUNKEN CABMEN —Two cabmen, named Henry Col lett and Horatio Edward Denny, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being drunk and incapable of taking care of their horses and cabs. Collet was seen by Shillingford, 325 A, on Saturday evening, in Little Windmill-street, so drunk that he drove his horse and cart down a court only intended for foot passengers, and afterwards went along the pavement and drove his horse's head into a publichouse. The defendant said he had taken a little drop. lie had been driving a Scotch gentleman who gave him some whisky out of a bottle, and it got over him.—Fined ss. Denny was found by Reeves, 31 C, lying in the road in Regent• street, with a number of persons round him, and on making enquiries found that, while in a state of intoxica tion, he Lad driven his cab against a dog cart in which were four persons. The dogcart was overturned and all the persons thrown out as the defendant was knocked off his seat and unable to get up.—Fined Ss. WESTMINSTER. DEFRAUDING RAILWAY COMPANIES.—Anne Coppen, a woman of creditable appearance, about 35 years of age, was charged with defrauding the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company by neglecting to pay her fare. The prosecution was conducted by Mr Church, the solici tor to the company. Arthur Gard, the stationmaster at Stuart's-lane, Batter. sea, said that defendant was a third-class passenger by the 7 o'clock main line train from Dover on Saturday evening. The train stopped at Stuart's-lane for the collection of the tickets, and witness asked the defendant for hers. She said she could not find it, and he then told her she must pay her fare, and inquired where she came from. She replied " Camberwell," and he told her that that was impossible, as that was on the cross line, while she was a traveller by the main line. She then said she came from Gipsey-hill, and ho then told her that she had not, as they had not a station there. She next said she came from Lower Norwocd, which was also another station that did not belong to the London, Chatham, and Dover. He then told her she would have to pay her fare from Dover, which he believed was 5s 6d, and she replied she wculd, and then began fumbling about in her left bosom for her money. He told her he could not keep the train waiting, and she must get out and remain for the next train, which would enable her to search for her money further, She was then taken into the col• lector's office, and after having had an ample opportunity of undressing, she could not find her purse, and supposed she must have left it at home. She was then put in a car riage and brought to Victoria, and there given in charge. Mr Selfe—All this was completed in the county of Surrey. No part of the offer ce was committed in the county of Mid. dlesex. Everything was made perfect in Surrey, and the difficulty I shall have if she is unprepared with money is with respect to the gaol to which she should be sent, I have no wish to give you the trouble Mr Church,to go else where with the prosecution, and will see what I can do Can you (defendant) pay your fare? Defendant—Yee. I found my money yesterday in the Mr Selfe—What have you to Fay for yourself ? Defendant—When I paid my money at Sydenham station I was quite late, and in my hurry did not think of taking my ticket. Mr Selfe—You could not have come from Sydenham. You have told two or three stories about where you came from. You could not have come from Sydenham, the train does not stop between Beckenham and Herne-hill. Defendant—Then I suppose it was Herne-hill I got in at. Mr Selfe—Yea, I dare say. How much money have you got. Defendant--I have got 33. I went to Camberwell to get some things out of pawn when I got into this trouble. Here are my duplicates. The duplicates were examined, but threw no light on the matter. The pawnbroker had altogether omitted the address. Mr Selfe (to defendant)—l shall fine you 3a, The fine was paid. THAMES. STA.BDING,—James Banks, an old man, who was de4 scribed as a seaman, was charged with stabbing 'William Donovan, who is in the London Hospital, in, a very pro. carious condition. Every E d ay la s t week there was a " stabbing ca se ," an those tanks are termed, heard by the magistrates of this ccurt, and the offenders were all committed for trial, The use of the knife in petty quarrels has lately become very prevalent, and severe examples aro imperatively necessary in the way of punishment to prevent these dastardly out rages. Last night the prisoner and the wounded man were quarrelling in a public-house in Whit e chapel , but how it originated no one could tell, The two men were sculling in the kitchen of the public-house. Donovan was armed with a poker, and the prisoner had a knife in his hand. As the two men were closing the prisoner, in the language of a witness, " made a fierce dart at the other," and thrust the knife into the upper part of his thigh. Donovan fel), and laid on his back until a litter was procured, on which he was carried to the hospital. A man named Leary took the knife out of his hand, and it was produced. Mr Joseph Dcndy, inspector of the H division, said the prisoner acknowledged what he had done. The man Dono van was seriously wounded, and it would be a week at least before he could attend the court. The prisoner was remanded for a week.
