ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The applications this morning for discount ac commodation in the general market have been rather numerous. The feeling of uncertainty which continues to prevail regarding the issue of events at the end of the present week, is still shown by the bill brokers refusing to make any concession for the negotiation of best description of three months' paper. A new 3 per Cent. Loan has been announced by Messrs. Stern Brothers for Portugal. The amount is £2,500,000, but only £1,500,000 is to be sub scribed for, as £1,0Q0,000 has been already privately placed, and £250,000 reserved for Portugal. Tho bonds are to be issued in sums of £lOO and £5OO each, and the price is £4B, payable in seven instal ments up to June next, but if payments in full are made the price is reduced to 46i, reckoning I per cent, for discount, and 1 per cent. for overdue interest. Tae bonds are to " bearer," and the interest is pay able half-yearly, in January and July in each year, in London and Paris. The money is to be specially applied to the completion of railway and public roads authorised by the Cortes, and as the proceeds will remain in England for purchasing the neces sary materials, the operation will not produce any adverse effect, such as would be the case if gold were to be exported. Portugal is already reaping largely of the seed she has sown by the greater development of her resources within the past few years, and the faith all classes in the kingdom now place in her Government. The increase in the revenue which must follow the open ing up of new sources of agricultural and mineral wealth, will materially assist the Government in equalising their stock more with the price of the other favourite foreign loans. The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday comprised an influx of £12,000 in bar gold, and a withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week were generally of a satisfactory cha racter. At Manchester there was a fair amount of business transacted in both cloths and yarns, at fully late rates. The woollen trade of Leeds,Brad ford, and Huddersfield remained moderately active for this time of year. In the hosiery and lace de partments of Leicester and Nottingham more anima tioß prevailed; while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a fur ther improvement was apparent in most depart ments. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f, 32c. to 67f. 35c.—Rather firm. Affairs in the Market for the English Funds con tinue in the same inactive state as for some time past. Speculation is dormant, and Foreign Stocks and new schemes engage the attention of investors. Consols are 931 for money, and 93i 4 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 911 a ; trehequer Bills, ls. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1091 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 100 f ; ditto Enfaced 5 Per Cents., 1072 ; ditto 51. per Cents., 1061. The Foreign Market today presents a firmer appearance.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a rather limited scale, and prices have re mained without changeof importance. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland have advanced 55.; and London and Brighton, 103., while North Western and South Western have each declined 1. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue dull at previous quotations. Bank Shares are in fair request, without, how ever, any material alteration in values. India Land I Mortgage is quoted 3i prem. ; and East London, 3 1:1, prem. In the Miscellaneous Market there is little Change. London Financial shares realise 151; Ge neral Credit, 41 I ; and Discount Corporation shares are quoted 9i i prem. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

MARK-LANE. The demand for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, was very inactive, at barely stationary prices. In barley, a moderate business was transacted, at the late decline in its value. Oats, beans, and peas were dull, and, in some instances, rather cheaper. Flour moved off slowly, on former terms. On the continent the core trade generally is very quiet, at barely late rates. At New York good and fine wheat and flour are in fair request, for export, at full prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad comprised 23,548 quarters of wheat, 16,626 barley, 45,608 oats, 3,574 beans, 700 peas, 400 tares, 9,232 linseed, 4,315 oilseeds, 800 maze, 607 sundry seeds, 620 sacks and 1,783 barrels of flour, Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were of limited extent, but most samples were re ceived in good dry condition, and the quality of the produce was firm, The continuance of full average receipts of wheat and flour from foreign parts produced a sluggish trade for all qualities, yet compared with Monday last no quotable change took place in prices. At the doss of busi ness a fair clearance had been effected. With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied. Millers operated to a very moderate extent in most descrip• tions, at the rates current this day seinnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. The supply of barley—both English and foreign—was by no means extensive ; indeed, the show of home-grown produce was rather limited. Owing to the mildness of the weather, malting qualifies moved off heavily at the late de cline in prices. Grinding and distilling qualities met a slow sale at last Monday's currency. All kinds of malt sold heavily, at about previous rates. The supply of foreign oats on offer was large, and the show of home .grown parcels was moderately extensive. For good and fine corn the trade was tolerably firm, at late currencies. Inferior produce, however, was very dull. Beans were in fair supply and show request, at a further reduction in prices of is per quarter. In the value of peas we have to report a fall of is per quarter. The show of samples was very moderate, and the trade dull. The supply of American flour was large, and secondary qualities were difficulty of sale. Town and country made qualities ruled stationary in price; but the demand was in a sluggish state. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer in to•day's market. The show of calves was season • ably extensive. Sheep—the quality of which was good, were in request, at very full prices, but beasts and calves met a dull inquiry, at late rates. The arrivals of home-fed beasts, fresh up, this morning, were again large, but their general quality was by no means prime, The best breeds were, consequently, taken off somewhat freely, at full quotations—the top figure being bs per 81bs. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns, &e.; from other parts of England, 950 vicious breeds; from Scotland, 3 Scots; and, from Ireland, 760 oxen and heifers. We were again but moderately supplied with sheep as to number; but their quality was prime. The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices advanced 2d per 81bs. A tew very superior old Downs produced us 6d, but the general top figure was 58 8d per 81bs. Calves were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at about previous quotations, viz., from 3s 4d to 4s 4d par 81b. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at stationary prices.

The difficulties in the way of bringing Ditrichstein from Vienna seems (according to the German papers) to be rather more numerous than was at first believed. Two or three years ago a case occurred in which an absconding bankrupt succeeded in reaching Vienna, and when captured the Austrian Government refused to order the departure of the man from their territories, there: being no Extradition Treaty between that power and Great Britain. The same difficulty that then presented itself has now arisen in the case of Ditrichstoin, the Austrian Government for the present refusing to direct his removal from an indisposition to create a precedent. Negotiations are, we believe, now going on between the Governments of Great Britain and Austria, the result of which it is confidently expected will be that the difficulties which now present themselves will be re moved, and at the expiration of eight or 10 days the pri soner will arrive in this country, and with the least delay be placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, on the charge of stealing £lO,OOO in Bank of England notes. NAVIGATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, The guerillas are becoming very daring in their attacks on our unarmed transports. For some time past they have confined themselves to musketry fir ing between Port Hudson and Natchez, but on Sa turday last they opened upon the Julia with three pieces of artillery: She was on her way to New Orleans, and about half-past 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon was passing Hole-in-the-Wall, 16 miles above Natchez, when 15 or 16 men showed them selves on the bank of the river on the east side, one commanding her to "halt." No notice was taken of this, the Julia still continuing down the river, when the party fell back behind some bushes, and the next instant three cannon shots were fired. The channel here makes a bend, and it was necessary for the Julia to go much nearer shore, and as she passed in front of the battery the pieces were discharged again. Fifteen shots in all were fired. The Julia was struck five times. The first shell passed through the wheel house; the second that struck her was a solid shot. It passed through two bullocks and two sacks of bran, lodging in the third, which lay next the boiler. The third shot struck the upper deck forward of the wheelhouse, cutting a deep hole through it, and, glancing, passed through a barrel, the guards of the boat, companion way, two state rooms, the clerk's office, and passed through the vessel on the other side, falling into the river. In the state room it entered (No. 39) the occupant had a hairbreadth escape. Hearing the firing, he rushed into his room and threw himself upon the berth. The shot took the pillow from under his head, and passed through the mattress, throwing him with some force against the side of the partition which sepa rated his room from the vessel, but doing him no injury whatever. The fourth passed through the hatchway and lodged in the coal. It was a 201 b. shell, and was taken from the coal entire. The fifth shot struck the pitman, passed through it, and, cutting a cow's ear off, passed out on the other side of the boat. One shell burst about ten feet from the bow, and another near the pantry. Four solid shot which the rebels fired after the boat was out of range fell harmlessly into the river. The Julia was fired up n a few miles from this place on the oppo • site bank of the river, while making the up trip a few days previous, about the same time the Atlantic was fired into. Both vessels were struck several times by the musket balls, and two or three persona narrowly escaped being shot. Within the last two weeks eight or ten vessels have been fired on.— New .Yorh Herald.

COLLIBRs' STRIKE AT WIOAN.—The men em ployed at one of the pits of the Kirkless Hall Coal Company, near Wigan, have lately struck work, in conse quence of a proposal to reduce their wages and to alter the mode in which they have been accustomed to send the coal to the surface. According to a statement made at a meeting of the men a few days ago, the reduction amounts to 2s. per score, and in addition the men are re quired to separate the small coal from the round, an opera tion which, from the nature of the seam and the workings, adds, so the men allege, 10 or 15 per cent. to their labour. Against this the men have struck, and in their strike they are supported by the lately established Miners Sick and Provident Benefit Society. The strike has caused a con siderable amount of ill-feeling amongst some of the colliers towards the Company, the principal parcner in which is Mr. John Lancaster, of Hindley Hall, and on Friday, this found vent in the following notice which was posted at Rose Bridge, in the township of Ince :—" This is to certify to the miners of John Lancaster and Samuel" his brother " too, that he may make his will, for the pistol is loaded for John and Samuel too." THE GIANT BALLOON —A telegraphic despatch from Paris, dated 6 35 p.m. yeste rd ay, states :—" Monsieur Nadar made a most successful ascent in his giant balloon at five o'clock, from the Champ de Mars. The Emperor, the King of Greece, and a vast crowd witnessed the ascent. The Champ do Mars was kept by the mili tary, Nine ladies and gentlemen ascended in the balloon, but it first made a short ascension with 32 persons." A further telegram, this day, 12.30 p.m., says—" News arrived at half-past 8 last evening that Nader was over Compi egne, 87 miles from Paris. He sent a message down, All goes woll,' and continued his journey towards the North, having de scended near the ground to speak." This monster balloon will be exhibited next week at the Crystal Palace. WHIG MAGNANIMITY! --Much dissatisfaction, especially in legal circles, has been expressed at the non-interment of Lord Lyndhurst in Westminster Abbey. elides should sure l y not b e The grudges en gen d ere d i n P allowed to extend to the grave of any man. With a like generosity of feeling the present Liberal Government have taken good care that neither the twice Lord Mayor Cubitt, nor yet the present Lord Mayor Rose, should he raised to the Baronetcy --even at the time of the Prince of Wales attaining his majority. And this for the reason that both Cubitt and Rose were Tories--and, therefore, under the Whig Taboo, even like the inanimate body of Lord Lynd hurst now denied a grave in Westminster Abbey I The will of Sir F. Wm. Slade, Bart., Q.C., of Maunsell Grange, North Potherton, Somerset, a beneher of the Middle Temple, was proved in th e London Court on the 6th inst,, by the executors, Lord Vaux of Harrowden (the testator's brother-in law), and Mr. Lucius Henry Fitzgerald, barrister at-law, the personalty being sworn under £16,000. The will was executed in 1852. The testator was the son of the late General Sir John Slade, Bart., G.C.H., and succeeded to the baronetcy in 1859, and attained the age of 60. Sir Frederic, after making provision for his wife (who is the sister of Baron Vaux), and securing to her ladyship an annuity for her life, has directed his property to be divided amongst all his children not otherwise provided for. LAW INTELLIGENCE,---This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn,) IN RE DANIELS. This was an application for release from custody. The bankrupt was a married woman, but had been for many years carrying on trade as a femme sole, and on a former application her release was refused, and an application was made to Mr. Justice Byles, who refused to interfere, on the ground that, as she had held herself out to the world as a femme sole and a trader, she had rendered herself subject to the bankruptcy laws, and must apply to this Court. Mr. B3zley contended that as the debt was contracted as a femme sole, she could not now set up as against the cre ditors' claim that she was a married woman; but taking it as a fact that she was a married woman, she could not de clare herself bankrupt and obtain the advantages under the Bankruptcy Law. Mr. E. Reed contended that the creditor was not in a position to oppose on that ground, as he had taken his re medy against the bankrupt by action, and had obtained judgment against her, and she was taken in execution. Her troubles arose in consequence of her having given up her premises and trade at Stang , te, under an agreement with Mr. Boucicault, but which had not been carried out, as, out of £l,OOO, she only received £lOO ; but the creditor bad only taken the bill in the belief that she would receive the £9,000. His Honour said he did not see that because the creditor took his remedy at civil law he was precluded from taking advantage of the bankruptcy law.. Mr. Reed sail that if the law clothed a person with lia bility it surely gave also a power of discharge, but if Mr. Justice Byles refused to release her on the ground that she had held herself out to the world as a trader, and his Honour refused it on the ground that sho was not entitled to the benefit of the bankruptcy lawn, she mast remain in prison all her life, but in a similar case (Mary Smith) Mr. Commissioner Fame held that as the l aw c l ot h ed the bank rupt with responsibility it also conferred its advantages. The case was ultimately adjourned for the bankrupt to answer affidavits that she had represented herself to be a w id o w, which she denied having dome. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. CIIARGE OP MANSLAUGHTER.—Ann Harnett was placed before the Lord Mayor charged with causing the death of Joseph Holland. nary Ann Allington said she lived with deceased as his w if e .

About for some cause she did no t k now, the quantity of water over her as s h e was i pt n hdr i n h oe e e y wr threwaer e d k . s ag Th oa e deceased remonstrated with her, and asked why she had done it. Prisoner replied that it was an a ccident, but on Saturday, the 10th instant, she again quarrelled with her. The deceased was sitting in the par lour, and on his hearing the disturbance, he came out into the pass age, and said ho would have no quarrelling there, but that he would settle all differences with the prisoner in another wa y (meaning that he would take out a summons against her). Upon hearing this she rushed furiously at him, an d struck him with great force with both fists in the chest. He fell into the room, and in doing so the lower part of his back hit the table, which prevented his go i ng into the fire. The prisoner then got hold of her, and as she was using her very roughly the deceased came for ward again and released her (witness) from the prisoner's hold. She then seized him by the s tore his sleev e out, after which she went away. Holland went to bed about ten minutes after, but after do - ing so, he said he was frightened at what had taken place, When he got up on Sunday morning he appeared in his usual health, and went to his work at Messrs.

She said she had appliedaptore tion of it in paymen t of a night's lodging, and spent h remainder. Ile asked her what she had done with her shawl, and she answered him that she had pawned it. He told her to obtain her shawl, and that he would not ad mit her without. She then gave utterance to a volley of foul abuse, and said be had shown up Mr. Slight, the relieving officer, in the newspapers, and would show him up as well. He tried to get her away, but she would not leave, and her cries, oaths, noise, and gesticulations caused a mob to assemble in front of the workhouse. He put up with her abuse for two hours, and then gave her into cus tody. She was before the Court a few weeks since for attempting to commit suicide, and on another occasion for being drunk and disorderly. The Prisoner—He is a false swearing man, yer honour's worship, and a rogue into the bargain—the murthering villain, wid his black whiskers. Mr. Partridge—Don't call him names. The prisoner—He knows he is a murthering rogue, and it's me yer honour that's paid riot and taxes and every thing. Mr. Moffatt said the guardians of Mile-end Old-town had acted with great kindness to the prisoner, and, instead of passing her to Ireland, gave her out-door relief. The Prisoner—Och, yer honner, he is a rogue and a half; what can Ido wid the great big thief. (Laughter.)

He sentenced her to pay a fine of 58., or be imprisoned for 7 days'at him, The Prisoner—Och, the murthering rog ue ; look yer homier. (Loud laughter.)

The Reason for Her Majesty's Mission in' Spain, The departure of the Empress for the Mediter_ ranean, at the moment the Emperor and his son set out on their return to Paris, has given rise to a variety of rumours, not erectly among the public, but in some of the Paris salons. Imp ortant and pressing business, it was said, could only explain why the Empress chose such a time to make a tour along the coast of Spain ; and it was given out that her Majesty had a mission of such moment that it could not be entrusted to anybody but herself. There were a thousand conjectures as so what that mission could be. Was it about the Mexican Em pire in posse, the Archduchess and the 40,000 sol diers that lurked in her " incomparable eyes" (see M. Debranz's despatch), the Pope, Cardinal Anto nelli, Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuel, or President Davis ? A few whispered that the mission intrusted to her was to use her influence at the Spanish Court to prevent a rumoured matrimonial alliance between some princely house and the family of the Duchess INlontpensier, the Queen's sister. They who repeated this version forgot that, whereas the Empress's sup plications failed to save the life of the unfortunate Ortega, shot for rebellion, it was not likely that Queen Isabella would be more pliant in a question relating to her sister. It is, however, true that there was a mission— not po'itical, but strictly personal. The Emperor and Empress usually pay a short visit to a frontier town of Spain when they happen to be at Biarritz. They drive to Iran or toFontarebia; the excursion by sea is to San Sebastian. On these °cessions, of course, every honour is shown to a foreign Sove reign on amicable terms with the Spanish Crown. The Alcaldes, first and second, the Captain- General or General Commandant, as the case may be, all starred to the utmost, the Civil Governor, the corregidors, the alguazils, and pipe and t a b or play ers, dressed in their best, are present to welcome the strangers. The church bells are set a-ringing, and the military bands strike up "Partant pour la Syrie" and the " Royal March." The Emperor is so oblig ing as to inspect the troops of the garrison, who go through the " Concha manoeuvres," which the Em peror, smiling, pronounces to he incapable of im provement; he lavishes high praise on the generals before him, as well as on the formidable number contained in the columns of the Guia. He visits the town-hall, amid much acclamation ; refreshments are presented, which the Emperor and the Empress most graciously accept. They admire the large pic tures in the grand hall by a native artist, represent ing an act of heroism of a renowned sea captain, and they promise a Sevres vase of much value as a sou- venir to the Ayuntamiento. Their Majesties do not fail to visit the church, where they perform their devotions. At length, enchanted and enchanting, they retrace their steps slowly to the quay, embark, and return to Biarritz. This has been done by the Emperor and Empress together, or by the Empress alone, several times. Strange, however, that such persistent civility has not been responded to by Queen Isabella. True, whenever the Emperor is in the neighbourhood the military authorities hasten to compliment him in the name of their Sovereign, and the duty is not the less readily gone through, as it sometimes ends in decorations. But all this is official, commonplace, and cold. What was de sired is that Queen Isabella should profit by their Majesties' sojourn so near her territory to visit them. Hitherto the Queen has been obstinate on this head; all argument, all entreaty was useless, when she was in the province of Santander not long ago, in inducing her to visit the Emperor, who was then expected at Biarritz. The fact is, Queen Isabella, with or without reason, never had much liking for the Montijo family; and such as it was, with time, it has, I fear, diminished. Her Majesty is as intensely Spanish as her father was. She perhaps remembers too keenly that at the time of the Emperor's marriage it was ostentatiously pa raded in Paris how certain members of that family had been, during the war between the two countries, on the side of France. This was impolitic and un necessary. A man who sides with those who are the enemies of his native country is not likely, however valuable his services, to be greatly admired even by those he serves; and bow he would be viewed by his own countrymen it is unnecessary to say. The epithet of Afrancesado has not lost, even in modernised Spain, any of its bitterness. It is to be feared, also, that the great qualities of the Em peror have not quite removed the exaggerated pre judices which a Spanish Bourbon may cherish against the name of Bonaparte. A flying visit to the frontier towns has not pro duced the desired result; but the presence of the Empress in any place within a few hours of the capital could hardly pass unnoticed without the appearance of premeditated slight. Once the Empress was at Alicante, or Valencia, where the last accounts left her, after her visit to Cadiz, Seville, and Malaga, there was no alternative. We hear from Madrid that the Counts of Altamira and Villafranca have been despatched to Alicante to re ceive her formersubject, now Empress of the French. She was expected in Madrid the end of the week, and was to remain there five days, lodging in the house of her brother-in-law, the Duke of Alba, and there was to be offered an apartment in the Royal Palace. The papers tell us that the Empress was to maintain the " strictest incognito" during her stay in the capital. It is easy to imagine the feeling of her Majesty in revisiting, after 12 years' absence, a place she once knew so well. She will doubtless miss the dear old Puerto del Sol as it was when she knew it; but she will probably see with pleasure the fami'..ar Plaza del Angel, the Prado, with its alleys and its foun tains, the Recolitos, the Plaza de Toros , the R et ir o , and the Fuente Castellano. liar incognito will enable her to see the suburb of Caramanchal, where her mother, Madame Montijo, had a villa, which very probably has not fallen into decay, and on her leaving those scenes which she knew so we ll i n times gone by she may find that the wond er f u l change in her fortunes, with its state, its ceremonial, and its etiquette and its attendant cares, has not brought forgetfulness of the independence and free dom of earlier , if not happier days. One satisfac tion, indeed, will remaire—she will have been, for however short a time, the guest of her former Sove reign. It remains to be seen whether Queen Isa bella will return the visit next summer at Biarritz. _Tines. THE WAY TO SUCCESS AT THE BAR is, according to a Saturday Reviewer, as plain as the road from the T em ple to Westminster Hall. With a strong head, strong lungs, a strong stomach, high animal spirits deter mination t o get on, and good luck, a man will make his take a higher or lower plac e , accor di ng to his twaaleyn and talents. The absence of any one of these requisites may trip him up, whatever his talents may be. He will find out for himself what he wants to know better than any one can tell him.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) TRIESTE, OCT. 16, Evening. Advices received here from Athens state that the National Assembly has decided to recall to the capital the troops sent to a distance for acts of in subordination. This determination has produced a bad effect among the people. Several accidents occurred in Athens on the oe casion of the fetes given to celebrate the annexation of the lonian Islands. The arrival of the new King is eagerly expected. The Assault on the Duke of Buckingham. At the borough police-court, Bath, on Saturday, before the Mayor, Col. Olivier, Major Baker, Capt. Ford, Dr. Falconer, and Messrs. T. Fuller, C. J. Vigne, W. Hunt, and T. Gill, George Norton and William Norton, commercial travellers, of Reading, were summoned for assaulting the Duke of Buck ingham and Chandos on the Bth inst. The court was densely crowded, and his grace was accommodated with a seat on the bench. Mr. Robertson appeared in support of the complainant, and Mr. Byrne for the defendants. The Messrs. Norton were also sum moned by the Great Western Railway Company - for wilfully interfering with the comfort of passengers. Mr. Slack supported this charge. The charge pre ferred by the railway company was first brought on for hearing. Mr. Slack said since the summonses had been issued his friend, Mr. Byrne, on behalf of the de fendants, had made use of expressions of sincere regret for their conduct on the occasion, and had offered to tender in open court a most complete and ample apology. The railway company having only at heart the interests of the public, thought they had sffiuciently performed their duty by taking the steps they had done, and he therefore applied for permission to withdraw the summonses. The de fendants, besides a declaration of contrition, bad un dertaken to present a donation of £5 to the Bath United Hospital, and to pay all the expenses which had been incurred. He trusted that would satisfy the magistrate and meet the justice of the case. Mr. Robertson said that he appeared for the Duke of Buckingham, and had to say that his grace had not been actuated in this matter by any vin dictive feeling. He (Mr. Robertson) on the part of the duke had to ask that the summonses taken out might be withdrawn on the defendants apologising and doing what Mr. Slack had intimated their readiness to do. Mr. Byrne, for the defendants, observed that be had now to express on behalf of the defendants their sincere and deep regret for having acted in the way mentioned by Mr. Slack. He thanked the duke for his condescension in accepting the apology of the defendants, and thus terminating a case which was to them of a most painful character. He hoped the bench would comply with the request that had been made to them. The Mayor remarked that the bench were ex ceedingly pleased that the cases were to end in the manner proposed. The magistrates, under the ch.-, cumstances, would willingly allow the summonses to he withdrawn. SHIPPING—This Day, LONDON, Oct. 19.—Wind this day at noon —South.

A PUBLIC DINNER AT AN INN is the recognised relaxation of a middle-class Englishman in the pro vinces, Did he not attend such banquets, his neighbours would conceive him to be constrained by domestic tyranny. Others go to them, and therefore he goes also. He is bored frightfully by every speech to which he listens. He is driven to the lowest depths of dismay by every speech which he is called upon to make. He is thoroughly disgusted when he is called on to make no speech. He has no point of sym pathy with the neighbours between whom he sits. The wine is bad. The hot water is brought to him cold. His seat is hard and crowded. No attempt is made at the plea sures of conversation. He is continually called upon to stand up that he may pretend to drink a toast in honour of some person or institution for which he cares nothing; for the hero of the evening, as to whom he is probably indiff . e7 rent ; for th e c h urc h , wh i ch perhaps he never enters ; t-u_e army, which h e regar d s as a h ot b e d o f ar i stocrat i c insolence , or for the Q ueen , w h om h e reveres an d lovesloy relen fulsome his nature as an E ng li s h man , b u t aga i ns t whose praises as repeated t o hi m ad nauseam in thehjurs b speech his very soul unconsciou s ly revolts.

The chair was taken by Professor Kinkel, w h o opened the proceedings shortly after 8 o'clock. Mr. D. Born gave a historical description of the state of Ger many before the battle, as well as of the battle itself, and concluded with a poem by Uhland. Patriotic songs were sung by the Camberwell and Islington German Glee Societies with their usual good taste and refined feeling. A poem, expressly written by a German lady for the occa sion, read by Dr. Zerffi, excited the greatest enthusiasm. The reader was often interrunted by hearty applause when ever the poem touched upon German unity. The proceed ings were concluded by an eloquent address from the chair man, who, amidst repeated cheers, remembered with im partiality a ll th ose G erman t r ib es w h o h a d b e en pas ts over in sil e nc e a t th e be g inni n g of the fe s tival. /- u e.r l striking peculiarity that the Germans of Londonc' ated the commemoration of ono of their most sanguinaryey, ba ttlesmusic, with a peaceful tribute paid to the arts of pe tr and rhetoric.
