ZIONEY MARKET' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. About £40,000 in bar gold, and £127,000 sove reigns, were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, operations are chiefly confined to sugar, which is in very active demand, at firm, and in some instances even higher prices. Coffee is rather quiet, and although very few enquiries are experienced for rice, 'high rates prevail. Rum, saltpetre, tea, and tallow are moderately dealt is upon former terms. Two O'CLOCK. The prices of nearly all the English Stocks are much lower this morning, and the Funds have also declined This heaviness is of course attributable to tb.e rise in the rate of discount, which for a time must check much of the speculation which lately prey ailed. Consols are 923 I for money and account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have fallen to 91 1 - a ; Exchequer Bills are now 23. die. to ls. preen.; Bank Stock is steady- 234; India Stack is likewise firm at 224 226 ; the 5 per Cent.

Captain Hayter, the Libs tal candidate, was proposed b 3 Mr. H. Driver, the chairman of his committee, seconded bY MW. R. the Conservativ e Barris. C o l one l R . H.

The respective candidates having addressed th e electors, a poll Ras demanded, and it take pl ace to - tiorrow. was fixed to CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Affairs in the discount market are now assuming a quieter appearance, and the mercantile public generally are beginning to appreciate the policy which guided the Bank of England directors yes terday to advance their rate, and thus prevent any hereafter commotion arising from too large a flow of gold to the Continent. The increase in the de mand for accommodation to-day results from the hills due to-morrow, the 4th of the month. For short time, therefore, till these arrangements ar e concluded, the rate out of doors may be expected to be kept near to the level of the official minimum, 'The charge to-day for first-class three months' bills le 41 to 5 per cent.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. This was an action for false imprisonment brought by the plaintiff against the company for alleged trespass and assault. The plaintiff pleaded not guilty, and a reasonable excuse. The plaintiff had been in the employ of the com pany as a porter, and one 111'Grath, an officer of the com pany, had some suspicion that another porter had a panchant for portmanteaus of of her persons,and his being seen to draw a pair of trousers from a parcel he was taken into custody and convicted, The plaintiff, who was standing some dis tance off at the time, was suspected to be concerned in the robbery, was taken into custody, and after being locked up some time he was discharged, and the present action was brought for assault and false imprisonment. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Martin, and Piggot.) THE ALEXANDRA. The Attorney-General asked leave of the Court to en large the time beyond the four days, as there were certain circumstances which prevented him going on in the bill of exceptions, or whether he would move for a new trial. Baron Bramwell said the Court had no power to reject the application. The only way such a matter could be dealt with was for the case to be brought forward, and then adjourned until a future day. After some discussion the matter was left open until Thursday, when the Attorney 'General will signify the course he intends to adopt. COMMON PLEAS. (Before Chief Justice Erie and Justices Williams, Byles, and Keating.) COURTNEY V. WAGSTAFr -THE " IRON TIMES." Mr. Denman, Q.C., on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why the verdict entered for the defendant should not be set aside and a verdict entered for the plaintiff, with damages £l5 155., so that a new trial might be granted on the ground of moderation, and that the verdict was against evidence. The action was by the plaintiff against the defendant as the proprietor of the defunct penny newspaper, the Iron Times, to recover damages for a breach of contract in the summarily dismissal of the plaintiff, who was engaged as a reporter on the paper on the usual under- standing, and a question arose on the trial whether the en gagement was a weekly one, terminable at a week's notice. The Chairman granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF DIVORCE. Today Sir J. P. Wilde took his seat as Judge of the Divorce and Probate Court. Her Majesty's patent appointing his lordship Judge of the Court, in place of Sir Cresswell Cresswell, deceased, having been read, The Queen's Advocate (Sir J. Philiimore) said they missed the presence that day of one who had formerly pre sided over that court,—one who had so moulded and shaped its proceedings that it had been enabled to deal with the immense amount of business that had come before itiLittle did he think when he last had the honour of addressing Sir Cresswell Cresswell, that that would be the last time it would be his privilege to do so, and the loss the country hvi sustained by his death was admitted by all. To his constant exertion was to be attributed the immense amount of business disposed of in that court, and he might truly say his mind was ever active, ever untiring. Sir Cresswell Cresswell W3B not a faultless judge, and he would have des- pised the flatterer who told him that he was, but he was an upwright and an honest one. With a memory marvellously swift and retentive, a logical power of no common order, a ready command of language, and a pro found knowledge of the common law of the country, he had thoroughly mastered the difficulties of the position his Sovereign had called upon him to perform. Notwithstand ing all those difficulties he so consolidated the functions of the Court, that the experiment of its foundation was as successful as the nature of the subject and the mode of trial admitted. Just in his decision and impartial to all, he com pleted a title to their esteem and admiration, and had it been ordained that he should have closed his life by a repose from his unceasing labours, he would have well earned the most unspeakable happiness ; but it was not so, and, like a bold and honest man, he died at the post of duty. He had deemed it not out of place to pay this tribute of respect to one who had endeared himself to all—to one who had but recently passed from amongst them, for truly of such men as Sir Cresswell Cresswell it might be said their virtues " blossom:in the dust." He would now turn to the more agreeable duty, and that was to offer sincere gratifica tion to his lordship on his appointment, with the full as surance that with a wise, firm, and admirable administra tion of justice in that court, he would justify the wisdom of Majesty in calling upon his lordship to preside over the deliberations of that court. Sir J. Wilde said he should have been sorry had the day passed away without a tribute of regret for thegceat loss they had sustained. He (Sir J. Wilde) met the bar that day for the first time as judge of the court, and he could not 0.n.0.' from himself the difficulties of his position in comparison with the brilliant career of his predecessor. Allusion had been made to the immense amount of business that had been transacted in that court, but what would have been his position had not the greatest order prevailed. For his own part, coming into a new country, his task would have been hopeless. But, thanks to the admirable business arrange ments of his predecessor, roads had been made and land marks erected, so that, with the good opinion of the bar, he felt hopeful, if not sanguine, that he should be able to discharge the duties of his position, provided that good feel ing of courtesy and forbearance continued to exist between the bench and the bar. His lordship then proceeded to hear probate motions. During the above pleasing episode the court was crowd =d with strangers, and there was a very large attendance of the leading members of the bar.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A LETTER CARRIER.-Mr. Richard Southam, of 1, Carlisle place, Victoria-street, Westminster, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting John Turlle, a Post-office letter carrier. Complainant said that about five o'clock this morning he was making his way through Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, to Great James's-street, to make a collection of letters, when he was suddenly seized with cramp in one of his legs. While holding some railing•, and rubbing his leg, the defendant, who was in company of a female, passed him, and while doing so gave him a slap on the ear. He called the defendant a fool, and struck him, and thought it would have ended, but the defendant returned to him and knocked him into the road, his hand being cut in the fall. Defendant said he certainly did touch the complainant, but he took him for a commissionaire. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that whether a commissionaire or not the defendant had no right to touch the complainant. Ho (Mr. Tyrwhitt) oould not account for these foolish acts, and a magistrate was not bound to account for them. He found facts, and that was enough, and if a man acted in the way the defendant had done, he must take his chance. If the defendant, however, liked to speak to the complain ant he could do so. The defendant declined the offer made by Mr. Tyrwhitt, and was fined 208, or a month. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN THIS ROAD. —Benjamin Col- Ule, alias Conell, aged 23, and William Henderson, 19, both described as tartors, who are well known to the policy, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a large hamper, containing 1121bs, of beef, 'pork ; and mutton. Sames Bridert ) a police sergeant Mid detective, No. 4 K, saw the prisoners yestetaitty eVening , between six and seven o'clock. They were following a carman's van. He watched them until thoy reached the Old King Harry publichouse where Colville laid hold of a hamper at the back of the van and pulled it towards him, and then went on the pavement. This was repeated several times by both prisoners. On the van reaching the railway arch in the Bow road, the prisoners succeeded in removing the hamper from the van, but it remained suspended by a chain fastened round the handle until the prisoners cut the handle with a knife. The hamper then fell on the ground. The prisoners were about to raise the hamper when Briden seized Colville, and in spite of a determined resistance, held him fait. Henderson ran away and was stopped by Police Sergeant Ripp, No. 5 K, who het) been just before called upon by Briden for his assistance. The prisoner made a butt at Sergeant Ripp, who adroitly caught him round the neck and secured him. The hamper contained 112 lbs. of prime meat, consigned to the Epping Union by Mr James Blofeld, a butcher. The driver of the van, Edward Wake ling, was in front of his van and did not see the robbery committed, Both prisoners were recognised as old thieves, and Mr. Woolrych committed them for trial. THE SAILOR AND HIS WIFE'S WATCH AND CHAIN.-- William Connor, a sailor, was brought before Mr. Wool r)ch, charged with stealing a silver watch, a massive gold chain, and a gold locket, the property of Margaret Harvey, of No. 7, Rose-court, Back Church-lane, St George-in -the East. The prosecute ix said she missed her watch, to which a gold locket and gold chain was attached, on Sunday night at 10 o'clock. She had deposited her watch and appendages in a cupboard 12 hours previously. She mentioned her loss to the prisoner, who was staying in the house, and he said "Do you blame me, Mag.?" She said he must know something about it, which he stoutly denied. Yesterday he said he knew where her watch was, and ho hired a cab. They were driven to different places, and he tried to get rid of her several times. After they had been drawn about all day, she suspected the prisoner was making a fool of her, and gave him into custody. Francis Kelly, a police-constable, No. 130 H, said that when he took the prisoner into custody he asked him what he had done with the woman's property, and he declared he knew nothing about it. He searched him and found the Businep done. 511 49/ 47 8 7i 135 i 66 5I 1111 1111 451 61 104 31 129 81 129 8& 631 IC3I I } ,•;.__ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENT id NOVEMBER '3, 186 g.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was only taking care of the watch for his wife, and never intended to steal it. Mr. Woolrych asked the prosecutrix if the prisoner was her husband ? Witness—No, sir ; be is only a friend of mine. The prisoner —I have been staying with her eight or ten yeArs every time I came home from sea. I used to wear it whenever I came home. I have only been home four or five days. I took the watch to take care of it for her. I look upon her as my wife when I am at home—don't I Mar ? (A. laugh.) Witness—No; you are no husband of mine. The prisoner —I was boarding in her house. I did not intend to steal the watch. Mr. Woolrych came to a different conclusion. He thought the prisoner did intend to steal the watch, or he would not have concealed it or denied having it in his pos sessior. The temporary companionship of the woman and the sailor aid not justify the prisoner in taking the watch. He sentenced the prisoner to LWO months' imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful posession of tho pro perty. WESTMINSTER. "DON'T GET Ditupac,"—Edward Hoare, a respectable looking artisan, was charged with the following unprovoked ascault EdwarJ Parrish, hackney carriage attendant, 294; en gaged at the Cadogan-pier, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, said that at a little before 4 yesterday afternoon, a gentleman came down in a cab from the East End to make inquiry as to what cab had taken him from the rank on the previous even ing. He called witness to him to inquire about the cab, and while they were talking, the defendant came up and corn menced abusing both witness, the gentleman, and the cab man. He did not know the gentleman, but prisoner was drunk. Witness told him he had better go away quietly, when he called him most vile names, and then struck him severely in the mouth, cutting his lip, and knocking one of his teeth out, Upon this, witness, seeing no constable handy, took him to the station, and ho went quietly. Mr. Arnold—Went quietly after assaulting you in that manner ? Witness—Yes, your worship, I know the man very well. When he went past his house he wanted to get away, but I said if he went in I'd get a policeman to fetch him out. Mr, Arnold (to defendant)--What have you to say to this ? Defendant —I'm very sorry, but I was drunk. I've lived in Chelsea the last twenty years, and know Parrish well. Mr. Arnold—ls that any reason why you should attack him in this manner Defendant—No, your worship, I should not have done i if I had been sober, for I'd sooner help Parrish than hurl him. The police having intimated that the gentleman in ques tion had come to the station, and said tkat he had never seen a more wanton assault committed, Mr. Arnola observed that defendant should not get drunk, and then he would not get into trouble, and com mitted him to prison for fourteen days. Defendant —Won't you take a fine, sir ? Mr. Arnold—No, I don't think this a proper case for a fine. You shouldn't gat drunk. Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, under the presi dency of Capt. Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., for the trial of Thomas Rivers, a gunner in her Majesty's navy, borne on the books of the Asia for duty in the Volcano, paddle steamer (floating factory attached to the reserve at Ports mouth), on charges of desertion and appropriation of the fuel-money" allowed to the ship to his own private pur poses, The Court found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's service with disgrace. A court-martial was opened on Friday on board the Royal Adelaide in Hamoaze,;Devonport, for the trial of Mr. Job Annable, assist.-engineer of the screw steam corvette Pelt).- rous, for having on the 17th of October allowed water in the starboard boiler to get low, thereby endangering the safety of the crew. The Court sat again on Saturday and yesterday, when the proceedings were brought to a close. The prisoner was sentenced to be dismissed from the ship and to be placed for a period of three years at the foot of the list of first-class assistant. engineers. The Falcon, 17, screw steamer, Commander Parker, has been swung in Portsmouth harbour for the adjustment of her compass, and will go out of the harbour to Spithead about Thursday next preparatory to sailing for foreign ser vice. The Royal Alfred, 35, iron cased frigate, at Portsmouth, has at length a gang of 25 shipwrights set to work upon her; and as more of the same class will soon be at liberty from the Hector, iron frigate, and will become available for the Royal Alfred, there is a chance of the latter ship being eventually finished and launched from her present position, where she has lain until almost forgotten. The paddle wheel steam vessel Vivid (Staff Commander Allen), tender to the flagship Fisgard at Woolwich, returned to he* moorings off the dockyard yesterday morning from Dover, having conveyed their Royal Highnesses the Prince awl Princess Louis of Hesse to the Continent. The Vivid, during her passage across the Channel, was struck by a heavy sea, and shipped a considerable quantity of water in her cabins. Her Royal Highness was most severely affected by sea sickness. Her Majesty's screw gun vessel Ranger, 5, Commander Henry R. Wratislaw, from the West Coast of Africa, yes terday returned to Woolwich to be paid out of commission. immediately after being paid off the Ranger will be entered for repairs, and will be placed in the first division of the steam reserve for recommission. During her last commission, 31 years, she captured two full slavers, which will entitle the officers and crew to good prize money. She will be in spected at her moorings this morning in the river, when the crew will be mustered for exercise. Captain Nangle, Deputy-A,BBjet..,Quartermaster-Gen. at Woolwich, yesterday inspected the hired troopship Sea King in the London Docks, taken up with two others for the transport of troops and w , ?.r stores for New Zealand. A large number of 8-inch guns, 68-pounders,32• pounders, and howitzers, with platform and full equipment, weighing 140 tons,were yesterday transported from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, and shipped in the Victoria Docks, for the 60-gun coastguard serv,ce Hogue at Greenock. The steam storeship Lord Panraure, Mr. Commander Moore, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday, front Plymouth and Portsmouth, laden with a cargo of guns, 30 in number, platform carriages, and other war stores. The ship encoun tered a heavy gale on Friday, which carried away a portion of her bulwarks ; she sustained some damage in the storm, which is stated to have been the heaviest experienced for many years, Admiralty orders have been received by the officials at Sheerness that it is not intended that the Salamis padnle wheel despatch vessel, 835 tone, 260 horse-power, should be brought forward for immediate commission. The vessel is to be kept in the state ordered by the Steam Reserve in structions, and to be inspected and reported upon when complete for the Ist division. The Salamander, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, 818 tons, 220 horse-power, was docked in Sheerness yard yesterday, in order that her bottom and the Kingston valves may be finally examined before she is put in commission. It is re ported in the dockyard that the Salamander will be inome • diately commissioned by Commander the Hon. John Car negie, and will proceed to Torris Straits, New Holland, on surveying service. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. 11. Phipps, to the Blenheim ; Lieut. John V. D. Butler, to be Flag Lieut. to Vice-Admi ral Sir Chas. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Devonport ; John J. A. Gravener, master to the Cum berland, for the Fawn; Frederic NV. R.

I NOT. 13. A Suggestive Chapter on English Missionaries. (From the Saturday Review.) One of the cries of the day is "payment for re sults." No doubt Mr. Lowe, in using the phrase for the particular purpose to which he applied it, only availed himself of the most palpable and undeniable truism ; and when people are very strong in en forcing a truism, they have generally some sinister end to servr. It was thought to be so iu the case of the Revised Code. The payment, it was argued, was no payment; the results asked for by Govern ment were said to be fallacious results ; and the pro portion between payment and results, so the objec tion ran, was a glaring disproportion. The pro priety of every term of the dictum, as applied to the particular case, was disputed ; yet nobody pretended to say that payment for results is not a fundamen tal axiom of common sense and common honesty. Recently the doctrine has been applied to some of the 'Missionary Societies; but, as the charge that the Missionary Societies are a large and costly machine, which turns out but little work, was couched with very inconvenient vagueness, not much came of it. Still it is not to be denied that results are a fair test of all institutions, religious as well as secular. It must be admitted that a vast organisation which spends a great deal of money and has little or nothing to show for it is amenable, if not to censure or discredit, at least to inquiry. In the case of missions to the heathen, be they of the Propagation Society, or the Church Missionary Society,: or the various Dissenting bodies, there is generally something to show. In every annual report there is sure to be some striking ease produced ; and a woodcut and some very bad English go a long way with the annual meeting. Subscribers to missions are a patient and fang-suffering race, and also a forgetful one. The great work of Cochin China serves the turn for a season ; and the next annual report shifts "the great work" from Peru to Zembla. Still we must admit that, in the case of the heathen, if there is not much done, there is not an entire blank. But we have other missionary societies besides these for the benefit of the heathen. The Church of England, in the true spirit of charity, gives abroad what it wants at home. Not having yet converted its domestic infidels and heretics, and not content with the work of evangelising, or trying to evangelise the hundreds of millions of Pagans, it extends its converting labours to the Jews—though why the Turks are left without a mission it would be hard to say. "The London Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews" has issued its fifty-fifth annual report. It is a society, we suppose, identified with the Church of England. Its vice-patrons include the majority of the English bishops. It is favoured alike by High Church and Low Church. The Bishops of Oxford, Salisbury, and St. David's pair off with the Bishops of Winchester, Durham, and Norwich. The Jews' Society, as it is commonly called on the locus a non lucendo principle, its ob ject being to exterminate Judaism, has a very fair income. The creditor side of the General Fund account for the year ending March 31, 1863, reaches the handsome sum of £43,400 odd. This sum is made up of a balance from the previous year of £lO,OOO, of £30,000 accruing from subscriptions and the proceeds of sermons, and £3,000 apparently aris ing from dividends and house property. What the society's expenditure is we shall see presently. Meanwhile, it is something to know that there is at least one missionary association which is any thing but insolvent. The Jews' Society carries over £B,OOO to the account of 1864; or, to be very pre cise, its current balance is £7,984 2s. 2d. A mis sionary body with its £5,000 of Exchequer Bills, its lands and tenements, its funded property, and its balance at the banker's, is a rarity, and therefore its accounts deserve all the publicity which can be given to them. Perhaps the object of this society has coloured its management, and it is only natural that anything connected with Jews should be pros perous in money matters and stand well in Capel court. Somehow or other, however, the Society did contrive to spend in this last year as much as £35,424. It maintains " 134 missionaries and other agents" to the Jews. It maintains an "Episcopal Jews' Chapel" in London also. We were not aware that there were so many Jews who had been made bishops that they required a special chapel, but per haps we do not understand the phrase "Epis copal Jews." The society spends money in preach ing, money in tracts, money in warehousing its printed stock, and—need it be added ?—money in salaries, travelling expenses, office expenses, secre taries, district secretaries, &c. The last item alone reaches to a sum of something more than .£5,000. Speaking roughly, the items of expenditure are £26,000 on missions and schools, £2,500 in publi cations, £5,000 on office and officers, and about £2,000 on pensions and sundries, These 134 missions are studded all over the world. As the Jews are a dispersed people, the missions must be scattered also. The names of the stations form an epitome of the Gazetteer. We have Abys sinia, Amsterdam, Bagdad, Scc , down to Tunis and Turin. What principle of selection is adopted by the Society in preaching to the Jews puzzles one exceedingly. We suppose it must be somehow con nected with the statistics of Judaism; where there are most Jews there ought of course to be most mis sionaries. There may be a great concourse of the Benielsra.el at Creuznach, Constantine, and Breslau, which have missions; but we should have thought a priori that there were more Jews, say, at Vienna, Moscow, and Algiers, which have no missions. But let this pass. 'The London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews has 33 stations at various points of the three old continents ; it has, as we have said, 134 missionaries, and it has an in come of £43,000. This is the payment, the ma chinery, and its cost. What are the results The report for 1862 informs us that " the number of adult baptisms throughout our missions was over 60, besides the 30 in Abyssinia" whose case is in some respects so singular—" deeply interesting" is the expression used by the report—that we have no particulars of it. " Twenty-four baptisms" are also reported as having been heard of, though not "in immediate connexion with our mis sions"—a mode of drawing out a statement of results much the same as if a bankrupt were to enter in his balance-sheet, as assets, £5OO at his banker's, and £5Ol which is his next door neigh bour's balance. However, the society has, by its own agents, converted in one year 60 adult Jews, including a Jewess aged 80, dwelling at Bucharest. At Jerusalem—where there is a bishop, a cathedral church, a hospital, a house of industry, a medical establishment, schools, and other institutions sup ported by the society at the annual cost of £4,444 —the baptised converts reported are four. It is curious that these figures admit of so very easy a calculation, and we therefore set down the cost of converting a Jew at Jerusalem at exactly £l,l ll, while the Abyssinian mission, which produces 30 convertg, only costs £l,OOO. This perhaps is as it ought to be. The pure Semitic Jew is a costly and noble convert, and is ddubtless cheap at: £1,100; but the curse of Ham and p overty is on the land of Abyssinia, and an Afric an Jew ca be done into a Christian at the low figure of But, taking the average, we find t hat the i s f oc i; e 3 t 3 y has spent £35,000 in one year , and e has s s of Bu produced s 60 converts, including . 4 the aged charest, who is asserted by the Jew s Sixty converts t Jewess to be above 89, end is all but perfcctly b:ln ind at the rate of 1;600 per baptism. We mast say at £35,000 is as nearly possible t h a t if Christianity had been originally propagateeiat this cost the Apostles "Silverg e at must have been posse ssed of philosopher'sthe,, stone. "Silver and gold I have none, was inquiries; the e first missionary's decl aration to his and gold I have, and . Iticanbosap:tnodf i t t h at the rate of .00,,sTer convert, " Jer e usalem jtnis nothing of the J sionary. ' Ye s Y lbrahant in the city of D e :id may the the blue blood of s reasonably raise its pe l ce• lo convert a Jew at Jerusalem is a feat as difficjt as producing ice at Singapore, or growing melons at ,Spitei:ergen ; and though the article is not a low priced one ak:* £l,lOO, still it ought to be coneidered cheaper for the IllorleY than an ordinary Jew converted out of Hounds ditch, and re,eching as high as £6OO. A jerusalem Jew, we should say, is worth more than twice Ps much as a Du'e's-place :row, just ee a cell . of Le- banon from Lebanon is more valuable than a seed ling from Mr. Veitch's nursery. There are in the world, according to the received estimate, as many as fire millions and a half of Jews! and if the Lon don Society purposes, as doubtless it hopes, to con vert them all, and if the present quoted price is to rule the market, Lord Shaftesbury, who is president of the society, must manufacture green backs as a sort of inconvertible conversion currency. California and Australia could not keep up the supply of bul lion which would be needed if the London Society were fortunate enough to hit upon a Xavier among their missionaries. Another question arises. If an ordinary anonymous Jew costs £6OO, w hat would be the tremendous outlay on the baptism of Baron Rothschild ? Not a single name of a single convert of the whole sixty is given, except that of one" Maurice Bium, seaman on her Majesty's ship Mars ;!' and if he is a £6OO Christian, what would be the coat of converting Dr. Alder ? The society, or its officers, will perhaps say that conversions and baptisms are not the test of its efficiency; because although, in nine missions out of ten, there ara no actual baptisms to report, there are always a great many " inquirers." A Jewish inquirer, we suppose, represents the blank leaf between the Old Testament and the New. He is a sort of religious hat flitting about between day and night--a chrysalis, neither worm nor butterfly. According to the Report, these intermediate reli gionists, these transitional Jewsand inchoate Chris tians, are very abundant, and the cost of raising an inquirer must be taken off the cost of producing a full-blown convert. If so, we should like to see the present price -current accurately made out, with a clear distinction between the market value of con.. verts and inquirers. Expositors of prophecy, we believe, are agreed that the conversion of the whole Jewish people must precede the Millennium. We leave it to Dr. Cumming to reconcile his dates with the present cost of a single Jewish convert. If the MillenniumEis to take place in 1870, which is the latest date according to the last American computa tion, as much as three thousand three hundred millions of pounds sterling must be raised in seven years at the present price of Jewish conversions. THE LATE GENERAL BEDEAU, Scarcely has the grave closed over M. Billault when another man, who, in different circumstances, also held for some time a prominent place among his countrymen, has quitted the scene. Gen. Bedeau died on Friday, at Nantes, and, like his former col league in the Republican Assembly, of disease of the heart. It was, however, no sudden stroke that car ried him off. He had long been suffering, and for some weeks past all hope of his recovery was given up. Bedeau was one, and not the least, of that group of distinguished officers who learnt the practice of warfare in Africa. It was in those frequent encoun ters with the Arab tribes which so long held their pound against the French that the military quali ties which characterised him were developed. Gen. Bedeau was born at Verton, near Nantes, in 1804. His father had served in the navy, but the son's pre. ferences were for the land service. At the age of 13 he entered the military school of La Fihhe, where he remained three years, and was thence transferred to St. Cyr. After the usual course of studies he ob tained his commission as sub-lieutenant on the staff. He got his captain's rank in 1830 ; in 1831 and 1832 ha served as aide-de-camp to Generals Girard and Schramm, and was remarked at the siege of Ant werp. In 1836 he went to Algeria, where he re mained 10 years. He distinguished himself greatly at the second siege of Constantine, and when that place fell was appointed its Governor. He was soon after promoted to the rank of colonel, and got the command of the 17th Light Infantry, in which he was succeeded by the Duke d'Aumale. His gal lantry and ability were equally conspicuous in the Cherchell, Medeah, and Aliliana expeditions, in which he was twice severely wounded. As General of Brigade he conducted the operations on the fron tier of Morocco, where Abd-el-Kader had taken re fuge. After several combats the Arabs were driven from all their positions, and Bedeau occupied the province of- Tlemcen. His conduct at the battle of Isly, under Marshal Bugeaud, procured for him the rank of General of Division, to which was at tached the command in chief of the province of Constantine. He took an active part in the expedition against the Kabyles of Bougia in 1817, and was soon after raised to the important post of Governor-General of Algeria. This, however, he held but a short time, and was superseded by the Duke d'Anmale. At the close of 1847 he returned to France, when the banquet agitation, which was to end in the catastrophe of February and the overthrow of the Orleans Government, was at its • height. When the movement in February assumed its most serious aspect Bedeau was intrusted by Marshal Bugeaud, who had just been appointed to the command of the army of Paris, with the corn s mand of one of the five columns destined to sup s press the insurrection by occupying the great tho roughfares of the capital. Bedeau fixed his head quarters in the Place de la Concorde, and it was there that the grave incidents passed which subse quently gave rise to a long and angry controversy. Bedeau was charged with want of firmness towards the insurgents, against whom he had, so his critics alleged, ample means at his disposal. One General, also an African, was reported to have said, rather unjustly, in alluding to Cavaignac, Lamoriciere, and Bedeau, that Cavaignac moved too late, Lamo riciere too soon, tied Bedeau not at all. The truth is he was aware of the uncertainty and scruples that prevailed in the Royal Councils, and was un willing to assume the responsibility of commencing hostilities against the people, and thus clo sin g the door against all compromise. 13e this as it may, a great deal of precious t i m e was lost, and the Chamber of Deputies was i nvaded by a mob almost before the eyes of the General. Marsh a l Bugeaud subsequently published A letter in which Bedeau's conduct was blamed. Unwilling to submit to the slur thrown upon him, he called a meeting of some of the first general officers of the army, and gave them full explanations of his coutluct on that occasion. These explanations were, no doubt, found satisfactory, for the verdict in his favout was, I be- Bedeau followed up a is step by lieee, unanimous. the publication of a pamphlet in defence ce c his con duct throughout. The Provisional Govternment named him Minister of War; but ho held a e post a very short time and accepted the governorsh, ip of Paris. He was soon after appointed to the a am wand of the first division of the " Army of the Alp, s." in the same year he was elected one of th e repre sentatives for the Loire Inferieure to the Constituent and Assem bly by not less than 97,420 votes, was c hosen one of the vice - presidents of that body. Daring the terrible insurrection of June he was so eeverely wounded that his life was for some time in danger. In the Legislative Assembly which suc ceeded the Constituent he was again elected one of the representatives for the department of the Seine, and again chosen one of its vice-presidents. He had previously refused the p os t of Minister of Foreign Affairs offered him by General Cavaignac. As a y h member of the Assembly he invariably acted as moderaton between the extreme revolutionary party and the majority with whom he almost always voted, and lie clearly foresaw, like many others, what would come of the violence of the Mountain. On the night of the 2d of December, 1851, Gene ral Bedeau was arrested at the same time as r• ittvaignae, Laenoriciere, Changarnier, and others of his old comrades; was thrown into the prison of Mazas, thence transferred to 11am, and finally ex pelled from France. The years of exile count for more than double in the life of man, and Bedeau grew prematurely old. During his long banishment in Belgium he followed with intense interest the events of the war in the Crimea. There is no doubt that his heart was with his army during that terrible struggle, and he read with a feeling it is eaey to imagine the deeds of some of his old comrades, in which he was not permitted to share. The amnesty enabled him once more to revisit his country. He fixed his residence at Nantes, where he lived in great seclusion and in the practice of his religious duties. The fervour of his devotional feeling gave rise to a report a year or two a go that he was abo ut to enter a religious establishment with a view o f taking holy orders. This rumour he contradiptpq it: a !t.'tter published in the papere. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.---This D—ay. WORCESTER RACES-THIS DAY. (13y ELECTRIC TELEGRkPII.) NURSERY HANDICAP.

For at home, dinner, or evening dress, fichus or lace vests will be worn over low bodies. The vest camail, or trimmings placed on the body so as to iniitat, it, is still much in vogue. Many corsages for neglige dresses will be made withpostillons basques, especially those trimmed in jacket fashion, so as to forest a waistcoat in front. The dresses made in the princess style, body and skirt in ono piece, wilt be much used for visiting dresses, made of rich materials. Full evening dresses will be as much, or if pos sible more, trimmed than ever. Skirts are still made very long, and very full at the bottom. Plaid is for the present quite the rage: whether it will continue its reign much longer is a question we cannot answer. Paletots of velvet, cloth, brown or grey, nearly fitting to the figure, trim me d with galena, are worn by ladies of fashion. Lace and gui pure are as greatly in favour for trimming as they have been of late. Feathers will be much used in trimming moire or velvet dresses. Amongst the toilettes we de scribe this month some will be found excellent models for winter dresses. A robe of pearl-grey t a ir ctas) with a flounce round the bottom, between five an d s i x inches in width, in hollow plaits, and put on with a band of violet of the same width, which is formed into trimming, in the shape of large shamrocks put very closely together, and edged round with lace. The body is made with a double point, and piped with velvet ; the sleeve half open, quite long, and narrowed at the bottom, is trimmed round the bottom with a flat band of velvet, and velvet shamrocks up the back, matching with the design on the skirt, but of smaller dimensions. A Gabriel collar of violet velvet. The lingerie accompanying this toilette should be small tight sleeves of organdie, with an embroidered wristband and two frills of Valenciennes lace, and a lace to match standing up round the throat. Thre d.,e. may .also servo an an evening dress by having a second body made low, the top trimmed round with a biais of violet velvet, with three shamrock-shaped ornaments down the front and also on the back; the sleeve composed of three bouillons of tulle separated by biais folds of velvet, and above them two small jockeys, the one form ing the upper, the other the under part of the sleeve. A plisse of organdi, edged with Valenciennes lace, altogether about two inches in width, finishes off the top of this body, A silver grey taffetas dress, in checks of narrow stripes of a deeper shade, China rose-coloured stripes, edged with a black thread; at the bottom of the skirt a wide flounce, with a heading of embroidery. This flounce is made in hollow plaits, and where it is set on a narrow biais of rose-coloured taffetas matching the stripes of the dress, are placed pattes of plain grey taffetas edged with a biais of rose-coloured taffetas about the size of a thick piping. These pattes are placed up the dress about three inches apart, and the bottom one has a grey fringe with threads of rose and black mixed, the bottom of the fringe just touching the flounce. A band of the same width as the pattes on the skirt is put on the body, like a square berthe in front, and forms a jockey behind. This bandis bordered with a fringe. The sleeves are rather long, and just wide enough to pass the hand through. At the bottom three pattes are placed crossways, and higher up the arm still more on the biais. Rose coloured taffetas buttons close to the front. A dress cf blue striped. Chambery gauze ; the upper halt of the skirt is made of this, but the lower consists of a wide blue taffetas flounce headed by a ruchcer or a plisse a la vielle. A low gauze body with blue taffetas tt imming. An Indian foulard, the ground white, with small checks of pale green, wide flounce of green taf fetas; high body, with long green sash. A Chambery gauze dress, striped with rose colour. At the bottom of the skirt a narrow black taffetas flounce, with a rouleau of white. Above this an insertion of black lace, over a rose-coloured. ribbon; a second flounce and insertion higher up. Low body, trimmed with an insertion. A robe the upper part of the skirt plaid, a W i de . gathered flounce of black taffetas forming the lower part. Half-way up the flounce a plaid ruche with the centre of black taffetas. High plaid body, black postilion pasque, and black trimmings, The newest bonnets are more mode rate in shape, and therefore more becoming. Many of them have soft crowns, although these are not certainly suited to the style in which the hair is now worn. Crape and velvet, black silk and plaid velvet, plush and satin, are to . _ be fashionable materials. We have seen some elegant bonnets, made of white plush, and trimmed with plaid velvet and jet fringes. This has a charming effect, and will, we expect, be much adopted. Another white plush bonnet had the curtain of crepe lisle, edged with plush. A flat bow of plush, placed at the side of the crown, mixed with a bouquet of begonias in white velvet, The same flowers inside, in a pouff of crepe lisse. A band of white ribbon across the head ; strings of the same ; or front of the bonnet of white tulle, soft crown, and curtain of coloured plush; a bouquet of velvet flowers to match the plush. The inside trimmed with a pouff of black lace and a bouquet of flowers. Waite satin strings. We conclude our re- marks on bonnets with one more of crape, and plush of a light drab colour ; silk curtain to match ; at the side a flat bow of double silk, from which falls a long ostrich feather. The same tint fringed with plumes de coq, black and white. Inside, a flat edge of blue velvet, and quilling of the same, w ith a bouquet of brown grass attached by a bow of blue velvet, and black lace. Strings of blue satin ribbon, Some very pretty head-dresses are formed of Chantilly lace over a net, surmounted with a diadem of white lilac, and on ono side a small black bird with white wings, which are so beautifully made as to shake continually. A very charming little cap was made of black lace, with frill all round, and, on the top a bow of violet ribbon with grass in jet, The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille pm., and the s h or t exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. Ou. cloni parinff these rates with the English Mi n t price of .£1 7 s load per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is h t 1-10th per cent. dearer in London th an in Paris, ...011 By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per .£1 sterling:. tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at 'New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 169 to 164 per cent., and the premium on gold is 541 to 541 percent. At these rates there is very little profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, being desirous of maintaining the rights of the citizens of London in the forest of Waltham. or Epping, to visit that pic turesque spot occasionally for the purpose of recreation, &c., has intimated to Lieut.-Colonel Palmer, the verderer of the forest, and high sheriff of the county, his intention, previous to tho expiration of his year of office (if a conve nient day can be appointed), to visit that locality with some of the aldermen and certain members of the Common Coun cil, to exercise their ancient privilege of hunting in this Royal forest; upon which occasion, it will be the duty of the forest officers to attend upon his lordship and their worships, and to contribute, as much as in their power, to show them sport. THE JOINTED STEAMER CONNECTOR.—An inte resting trial trip cf the jointed steamer Connector took place on Saturday last, on which occasion Mr. Reed, chief constructor of the navy, Admiral Belcher, Capt. Sy monds, R.N., and other nautical gentlemen were present. Tho Connector started from Greenwich during the height of the gale on that day, and notwithstanding the severity o the weather, proceeded with her party down the river, eli citing the praise of all at the excellent manner in which she behaved in the gale. When in the neighbourhood of Gras:e . B " end she disconn ec t e d an d reconnecte d h er sect i ons , nem"' standing the roughness of the water, with perfect success, and ultimately detached her steam po r ti o n with the c hi ef constructor of the navy, and naval officers of the Py, landed them at Purfleet. She then reconn ected, and steamed and h gainst the full force of the gale back to London.

Strange as th e s e f a cts a re, the Judg e ' s . decision upon them is still more remarkable. An action being brought against the company for the value of the bullock, Mr. Ellis has ruled that the company are simply bound to provide a passage across their line, and are not responsible for what, may occur through a bullock being wild or badly driven. This decision, which is probably sound in point of law, throws a new light on the question of level crossings, and the public will learn with surprise that should a train ever be upset through the eecent.icity of a bullock at one of these unprotected crossings, no one but a small country butcher will be responsible for the accident. — Peterborough Advertiser.
