CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is not the slightest change to report in the general condition of monetary affairs, the demand for accommodation being well supported by the preparations for the liquidation of monthly ec• counts, to-morrow being the 4th. There is no relaxation in the rates, the official minimum of 4 per cent. being enforced without an exception. This state of things will no doubt continue until after the Bth, when the India Debentures then due are paid off, but no permanent relief is anticipated before the release of the dividends. About £97,000 in goll was taken into the Bank yesterday, but £B,OOO in bar gold and 75,000 sove reigns were withdrawn. . There was no alteration of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £878,300, and the exports to £744,300, showing a balance in favour of the country of £134,020. _ _ We are informed that the letters of allotment of the Imperial Privileged Bank of Austria will be issued to-day. The Scrip Certificates of the Columbian Loan may he had in exchange for the banker's receipts on Tuesday next. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 95c. 67f. 9 00.—Inanimate and heavy. The English Stock Market to-day has presented a very dull appearance, but no further movement has occurred in the value of Consols, which are 921 for money, and 931 I for the account. The New Threes are 911- 92k ; the Reduced, 91192; Exche • quer Bills, is. to 3s. preen. ; India 5 per Cents., 1081 K ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1081. The operations in the Foreign Market have been conducted on a rather limited scale, and prices con tinue to droop. The Confederate Loan, however, has been 22 to 20 dis., and is now 24 to 22 dig. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 70 701; do., 1862, 701 711; do., Consolides, 541 ; Mexican have dropped to 451 461 ; Greek, to 371- 1; do., Coupons, to 171 181 ; Spanish Passive, to 351 ; do., Certi ficates, to 131 14; Portuguese, 49 4; Egyptian, 1001 1011; Granada, 17 ; Italian, 721; and the Colombian Loan, 1 to 1 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been dull, and several of the principal undertakings exhibit a dec'ine. Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, Metropolitan, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern have each declined 55., and North Western 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain inactive. Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced -1, and Great Western of Canada 1. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in good demand, and fully maintain previous rates. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock — 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

LONDON, SATORDAY EVENING, OCFOBER 3, 1863. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. A very fashionably-dressed young woman, named Theresa Lovett, was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable F 165, said that last evening, about 6 o'clock, he was on duty in the Strand; when he saw the prisoner go up to a gentleman who was looking at some pictures in one of the shop windows. He appeared to re pulse her, and in a short time afterwards he saw her accost another gentleman, and as he evidently appeared annoyed by the conduct of the woman he took her into custody. She resisted very much, but eventually she was taken to the station-house, but not before she had bit him in the thigh and tore his trousers in such a manner as to render them useless. She was very drunk. Mr. Corrie—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l am a respectable married woman, and I totally deny the assertion of the constable. Mr. Carrie—l must say I don't think you have conducted yourself much like one. Where is your husband ? Prisoner—l can send for him. Mr. Corric—Very well, do so ; I will delay the case until he is in attendance. In about an hour a very respectable young man, about 25 years of age, attended, and, in answer to the magistrate's questions, said he was a clerk, and that the prisoner was his wife. Mr. Corrie—The constable says she was very drunk in the Strand, and as she was conducting herself improperly he took her into custody. Had she been drinking last night ? The Husband—No, your worship. We had been on a visit to some friends in the City, and after wo left them we had some bread and cheese and a glass of stout each. Mr. Corrie—What, only one glass of stout ? The Husband—At that time; before, however, I left her, we had another, and that certainly was the extent of the drink we had taken. She was returning, with the inten tion of meeting me, when the circumstance occurred. Mr. Corrie—She has acted in a very improper manner. Prisoner—l resisted the constable because he took away my reticule, which contained a valuable card case, with nearly a pound's worth of silver in it, and an umbrella that cost a guinea. The Constable—l never touched her property, your wor ship. If she has lost it, it must have been during the time she was struggling with me. Mr. Corrie—Did she hurt you mach when she kicked or bit you ? Constable—Yes, your worship, I can feel the effects of it now. The Husband—l don't believe for one moment my wife was drunk ; she is, however, a very excitable woman. Mr. Corrie—Then, you should not allow her to drink so much stout. Two glasses of it will sometimes make a man drunk. The inspector who took the charge says she was very drunk. I fine her 20s. for assaulting the constable, and also 20s. for the damage done to his trousers. Prisoner—How am I to recover my property ? Mr. Corrie—That I cannot tell. The fine was paid. MARLBOROUGII.STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS. - MrS. Mary Matthews, licensed victualler, of the Cock, Market-street, Haymarket, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer the com plaint of Inspector John Wilson, of the C division, of unlawfully and knowingly permitting drunkenness and other disorderly conduct in the house. Mr. Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers Protec tion Society, appeared for Mrs. Matthews. Sergeant Collings, 16 C, proved going to the defendant's house at a quarter past three on the morning of the 23d of September, and finding 17 men and six prostitutes present, one of the men being drank. Some of the persons then left, including five of the women and the drunken man. He (the sergeant) visited the house at a later hour and found six men and two prostitutes, two of the men being drunk. He spoke to the defendant, and she cleared the house, and it was closed a little after four o'clock. Mr. Child addressed the magistrate on the defendant's behalf, stating that as his client was doing all she could to leave the house, he hoped his worship would not impose a fine but let the matter stand over for a time. Mr. Knox fined defendant 10s. and costs. ferance to the exact position of the fatal wounds I have inflicted." Lord Mount Trevor slightly opened his mouth, and very much opened his eyes. " I always imagined that the relative position of the liver and gizzard wings of birds dressed for the table, was deter mined by the cook." " My dear Mr. Drelincourt I" said the Marquis, impres sively, "surely you must be sufficiently acquainted with anatomy to know that the liver is always on the right side, consequently that the right wing is always the liver-wing, and birds having but one other wing, my dear sir, that must be the gizzard-wing as a matter of course," The instances we have quoted are assuredly suffi cient to justify our assertion that Mrs. Grey has given us many striking "contrasts of character," but we cannot regard her as being peculiarly felici tous in her pictures of " good" society. Among her happier definitions of character is that which in troduces Dr. Crutnpe, a reverend bishop, "who had pub,ished a book on Hebrew points, and had mar ried the daughter of an Earl, but whether Dr. Crumpo owed his bishopric to his book or to his wife nobody could decide. Public opinion, how ever, was more in favour of the latter, because every one had seen the bishop's wife, and no one had seen the bishop's book !" The opening chapter of the first volume gives a very spirited sketch of Hyde Park during the season, which Mrs. Grey asserts is the true place to which to send a foreigner in order rightly to impress him with a sense of England's prosperity. Our extracts have, however, extended too far to admit of our quoting this very animated description. While doing justice to Mrs. Grey's well-known abilites as a novelist, we cannot, in re gard to this, her new work, award a very large share of commendation to her powers of discernment or discrimination. The Principles and Practice of Vegetarian Cookery By John Smith, of Malton, Yorkshire. Ona vol pp. 272. F. Pitman. There is something sturdily plain and simple, as sturdily plain and simple, so to speak, as the honest English name he bears, alike in the manner and the matter of the argument put forth by the author of this little volume. Reading him, we are at moments almost persuaded to turn over a new leaf—by our selves, fairly and frankly, becoming Vegetarians. Though the truth must oat—(now that the writer's argument has been scanned by us, in its entirety, a nd examined too, we can, in very truth, assure Mr. smith, of Malton, Yorkshire, quite dispassionately) t hough the truth must out !—we his readers and re viewers are not in the least Vegetarians, or likely to b e Vegetarians. It will be best, perhaps, all things co nsidered, to premise that at once. When we speak of the little work, here under i,otice, therefore, we s peak of it, in no way as what the politicians call par tizans. We are not sticklers for the carrying out of the crochet here propounded so very enthu siastically. We have a predilection—may we not co nfess it ?—for something else, besides cakes and ale ! We have a sort of a notion (like many others o f our countrymen we conjecture) that quite as dis tinctly among our national melodies as either the lo yal anthem of " God Save the Queen" or as the glorious sea chorus of " Rule Britannia" there is yet ano ther, tolerably familiar to all of us, ever pleasant to t he ears of the British Lion at Feeding Time, c alled " 0 ! the Roast Beef of Old England"—with a c horal chant, ad libitum, appended to it of "O, t h e Old English Roast Beef !" Even in the very nam e applied to that symbolical personage repre senting, not inapprop r i a t e ly, by his stalwart form our whole nationality, even in the very name of John Bull, bluffwe can't help having a shrewd su spicion that the humorous creator of that Big o Representative Man," hinted at one of the two ma i n sources of his remarkable bulk, and most cer tainly of his goodl y corporat i on —viz , that roast beef aforesaid, which, with his amber humming ale, home-brewed, must b e regar d e d as the nutriment yiel di n g him so fair a share of physical strength. N eve r the reverting to our candid acknowledge rant, s very brief while since, at the outset of these r emarks of ours upon t hi s ap p e tizing little book, e splanatory o f t h e P r i nc i p l es an d Practice of Vegetarian Cookery —Reading the arguments of the vegetarians, as here put forth—at moments we have almost been tempted o urse l ves t o t urn V eg etarians. At mo ments, remember ! M omen ts like those in which Pick S wlveller—pushing his plate away— Oliver Goldsmith' s prover bi a l vers e, with a quo ted twink li n g eye, "Man want s b u t littl e here below, nor wants that little long"—addi n g (Dick, not Oliver), n every good sentiment after dinner !" Precisely at suc h moments as those, we presume, it must have b ee n that our au th or ' s argument ever seeme d to its, a nd then but momenta r ily, so ver y pe r suasive. Our geni al recognitio n o f th e f orce o f hi s argumen t s capable of ready dissip a tion, however, be i ng allay som e five or six hours after wards : supposing our senses to be saluted, let us say, on crossing the thres hold after a good smart walk into the country, by the flavour of a roasting goose jast:ali but done to a Yet, even then, turn however reluctantly, that there is a very great deal to be said on the side of the Vegetarians. Their dietary is wonderfully cleanly, and wholesome, and even Arca dian, of its ki n d . I t gets r id o f a wor ld of cruelty. It does all that, it is all this, we are con strained to allow—and y e t th ere i s muc h a l so to be sa id, CONECleatlOaSly even, on the side opposed to the Vegetarians. In a word, if they ; the Vegeta tarians, point to our First Parents feeding, among the flowers and verdure of Paradise, upon fruit—we, the Non -Vegetarians, who are unhappily, like the rest of the world out of Pa ra di se , ma y p o int in our t ur n to St. Peter's Vision of the Sheet let down from H e aven, with all its motley contents! Putting aside, however, the pr os an d cons o f t h e w h o l e ques tion, hero ingeniously argued in this little work, but more thoroughly entered into, as a distinct thesis, by its writer in an ear li er work of his, en titled ‘ i Fruits and Farinacea the Proper Food of Man," it must be said, in fairness to the author, that the little book here imme diately settin g forth the Principles and Practice of Vegetarian Cookery addresses itself to anyone and everyone, alike to Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians. And it does Bo in a manner so flavorous and gusta tive from first to last, that we might, any of us with pleasure , e ven when at our hungriest, make one at such well -spread board s as th ose , d ou btless, any day to be found in the house of John Smith, of Melton, Yorkshire !. Soups, and omlettes, and fritters, savoury pies, mushrooms and buttered eggs, French pancakes and English cheesecakes, puddings and tarts unnumbered, with fruits, ripe, dried, and preserved—to say nothing of all imagin able kinds of succulent vegetables, boiled and fried, or otherwise prepared in some wonderful way by the magic art prac ti sed in the kitchen. Altho u g h the little treatise here commented upon is at times,but, more particularly in the earlier portions of it, rather recondite in its character, being founded upon chemical analysis, and going into all sorts o f abstruse m atters, scientifically to the bewilderment of the unlearn ed —the general reader will find his "taste " very ca refully consu lt e d throughout. Here he may learn, as the title-page hints, all ! about " the mos t a pp roved methods of the ar.t, of the art that is of Vegetarian Cookery—meaning all about Boiling , Stewin g , Steaming, Baking, Frying, Mashi n g , Servin g , and (the two great sup plementary results aim ed at in all) Eating and Drinking. LITERATURE. Good Society ; or, Contrasts of Character. By Mrs. Grey, author of "The Gambler's Wife." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. The second title of this novel is perhaps more appropriate than the first. It certainly does present to us many striking " contrasts" in the various "characters" introduced, but we cannot say that it affords us any very satisfactory specimens of "good" society, deservedly so called. Occasionally we meet with some clever sketch or some sircastic touch possessing more or less of truthfulness in its appli cation, but as a whole these pictures of London society in the present day bear no closer resem blance to the actual world we live in than does the shifting phantasmagoria which presents itself to the dreamer's distorted vision. Some of the scenes and incidents indeed remind us of those French pic tures of English manners which have recently ex cited so much amusement, as a few examples will serve to testify. Among other interest ing contrasts of character Mrs. Grey introduces us to Lady Augusta Leigh, the youthful daughter of the Marquis of Mount Trevor, who, at the age of thirteen, emulating the example of her noble brothers, freely indulges in the language of the stable-yard and the betting-ring. Here, for ex ample is a scene that occurs between the Lady Augusta and her brothers Viscount Cassington and Lord Clarence Leigh A YOUNG LADY OF GOOD SOCIETY. One end of the skipping rope had been made fast to an old. fashioned fire screen at a considerable height from the ground, the other was held by Lord Clarence, his hand some but still youthful face beaming with good humour. The Viscount, at a little distance, with a gold pencil case, was, with a more serious air, writing in a morocco pocket book. Their sister kept walking backwards slowly, and with a clear calculating glance was eyeing the rope. "Now look alive, Cass !" she cried, without removing her gaze. " Repeat the conditions of the bet." "Eleven to five that you don't clear that rope," he replied. " A running leap, Cass t" "Yes, a running leap." "You'd better not attempt it, Pussy," said Lord Clarence. "It's a good deal too high. for you." "Shut up, old fellow." " You may have a severe fall and hurt yourself, my pet."' " Shut up." " I really think you'd better give it up." Lord Clarence's solicitude only elicited a louder and more peremptory order for silence from the young lady, who continued to eye the barrier with knitted brows, as though doubtful her powers were equal to the anticipated strain upon them. " And what will you bet, Clarry, that I don't do it ?" she asked. " Will you bet a pony ?" " No, I don't like to tempt you into breaking your pretty neck." " Shut up I" was shouted in a voice that made both the young men laugh heartily. "I don't mind standing half a sovereign to a shilling," he added. "Done. Book the bet, Cass," she cried. " Why, that's ten to one," she added. "Per Jupiter !us you used to say when you came from Westminster, I'll do it." "Now, my dear child," said her elder brother, taking his cigar from his mouth to knock off the ash, " don't be desperate; I should be inconsolable if anything terrible occutred." " Old fellow," you're afraid of losing your tin," she answered fearlessly, then clapping her hands with an exult • ing ory, she ran out of the room. The young lady soon returns, takes the leap, and wins the bet. The interesting trio are shortly after wards joined by the new tutor of Lord Clarence, who, venturing upon some complimentary remark to the young lady, is replied to in the following style : " 0, nonsense," answered the young lady, to the im mense gratification of her brothers. 4, I'm not quite such a fool as I look. The verdure in my organs of vision is not, by a good deal, so conspicuous as you seem to suppose. So you need not display your fine set of teeth in that way, as if you wanted to sell them at a profit." The mirth was louder than before, the loudest laugher being the object of the satirical remark. " I dare say you had them cheap enough," she added. The tutor above mentioned, the Rev. Emanuel Mordecate,M.A., is another startling specimen of the habitues of Good Society. This gentleman, having been a very distinguished member of the Univer sity of Oxford, had joined the Tractarian party, and ultimately become a Catholic priest and a Jesuit. He is described as singularly graceful, ac complished, and fascinating, the friend and com panion of country curates and London marchionesses. Three times in the course of the narrative we are induned to accompany the reverend gentleman to his chamber, when about to retire for tke night, and we become the astonished witnesses of his very surprising devotions. This fellow of Oxford, and member of the Society of Jesuits, prays, we are told, neither in English nor in Latin, neither ac cording to his present nor to his former belief, but, with his hat on, his devotions are uttered in Hebrew, and then appears before him the home of his childhood in the Kalver Straat of Amster dam, and his Jewish mother Esther. So much is Mrs. Grey impressed with this idea that, as we have said, no less than three times she repeats the same incident, with almost the same reflections. The conclusion of the career of this accomplished gentleman—this reve rend Sidonia—is as surprising as any part of it. The English curate, the Rev. Septimus Fairholme, also amazes ns by his marriage with a lady of very anomalous antecedents, the supposed wife of a very notorious nobleman, Lord Valiance. This noble lord affords us another strange specimen of the manners of the day. He is ill and alone, under the care of two ancient sisters, Dorcas and Charity, and he addresses them after the following amiable fashion : LANGUAGE OF A NOELS LORD IN GOOD SOCIETY, "You hag I" ho cried, as the first entered,'' is a fellow to be frozen to death for want of a fire, and to be starved to death for want of a meal ? you horrible old Witch of Endor, you Sycorax--you--.....” 4, If you please, sir," said the elder, gravely, while put ting down her tray, " my name is Dorcas, and my sister's name is Charity." " Your name is Hell-cat, and your sister's Mother Beel zebub I" replied Lord Valiance. fiercely. The younger of the two women looked at her sister to see how she would take the affront, but finding that she looked over her spectacles at the offender with far more curiousity than indignation, she did not venture on a reply. " Look here, you pair of Hecates. I'm not going to put up with this treatment. It don't suit my took at all. I feel; dreadfully ill. Never felt so dreadfully seedy in all my life. I almost feel as if regularly used up—by Jove I do I I've been used to live among Christians, not among such antediluvian hippopotamuses as you. Let me have a . good fire, a good dinner, and oceans of devilish good brandy and water—hot and strong. Do you hear, you untame able hyenas ?'' Miss Lucrezia Stickles, the American Governess, Rho proves to be the real Lady Valiance, is another exaggerated caricature ; while, on the other hand, among the happier sketches is the rich self-made Mr. Drelineourt, who, having purchased a country estate, aspires to emulate Sir Roger de Coverley. Although at times somewhat ridiculous, the would be " Squire" is on the whole a very original and agreeable companion, and we can hardly believe even the Marquis of Mount Trevor would venture to befool him to the following extent :-- HUMOROUS CONDUCT 07 A MARQUIS IN GOOD SOCIETY. A pheasant rose whirring from the underwood almost at their feet. Mr. Drelincourt raised his gun, and fired both barrels rapidly. The bird continued his course. The Mar quis fired, and the pheasant dropped. " That was a capital shot of yours, my dear sir," obseivod his lordship, with his pleasantest smile, as they stopped to reload, and one of the dogs picked up the game. 44 Mine, my lord I" exclaimed Mr. Brentwood, in un feigned surprise. " You see you hit him in the liver-wing. Now when a bird is hit in the liver-wing, he never drops directly able to fly with the gizzard-wing as if unhurt; but he soon finds he has come to grief , and down he goes to earth as dead as a nail." " 1 neve knew that. I assure your lordship I thoug h I had missed hitt." I venture 'the Tho Marquis's friend felt flattered and fluttered, and was inexpressibly gratified as he observed Tomkinson placing the five partridges in the game-bag with the pheasant, " Does your lordship think all of them w ere hit in the liver-wing ?" asked at, Drelincourt. " I am not certain," re :olied the Blarquis deliberately, " Y ou see they and with a peculiar solemnity of manner. dropped very soon after your fire, therefore I should n ot o f saying whe re like to take on myself the reeponsii, 4 :' B'ut you hit the m, U. they were hit without examihatio my dear Mr. Drelincourt, beyond W dQu " But will your lordship kindly excus e me 151 e to say that do not quite un.derstanecltle ---e DlDll 1 • • sportinr terms yoti en lordship is good a—qn 434 QUA to toe IA ; - WESTMINSTER.

INCREA SE OF CATHOLICITY IN AMERICA.--Scarce five-and-twenty years ago, ou the 24th November, 1838, the first Catholic mission was establiAted at Fort Vancouver, then the principal post in the Oregon territory. Dining that comparatively short space of time the glad tdings of salvation have been preached in ono way or ano ther throughout the length and breadth of' that vast region, now an ecclesiastical province comprising three dioceses, Oregon, Nesqualy, and Vancouver's Island. These facts may give an idea of the wonderful increase of Catholicity in those countries. Catholicity is already diffused in a greater or less degree over all the great vast region stretch ing between the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and the valley of the Mississippi. The foundations of a mag nificent church are laid there, broad and deep on the rock of ages, and judging by the progress made in the first 25 years of its existence, is it too much to expect that ano ther quarter of a century will see it flourishing as any other portion of the American church ?-11rew York Tablet, 19th September, LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday.

The Greek merchants in the city of London are makin g preparations for testifying their fidelity to the Youn g King of Greece on the forthcoming visit of his Majesty to the Queen. They are of them selves a com - paratively small community, being only about 200 in number, but among them are some of the most wealthy and eminent merchants in the city, and they are a remarkably intelligent class of men. As a body they are equally conspicuous for their general probity and decorum. Many of them have spent the greater part of their lives in this country, and speak our mother tongue with ease and grace. On this occasion the - • principal men amon g them have formed th em selves into a corn mittee to make the necessary arrangements under and th e direction of Mr. Pan dia Ralli, ' permission has been accorded them to present an address to their Sovereign on his arrival in the metropolis. His Majesty is expected here in the beginning of next week, and it is understood that on the first Sunday after his arrival he will attend Divine ser vice at the Greek Churc h in London-wail, When a grand 7e Deum will be sung on the occasion. The church, which is a small bat stately edifice, is being decorated with becoming splendour. A throne h as been erected for his Majesty, and a temporary gil l. lery for the better accommodation of the congrega., tion. The loyal address to King George I. has been engrossed on vellum,magnificently illuminated, and it will be presented to his Majesty by a small deputation of the community. THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. At the meeting held yesterday to determine what steps should be taken to rescue the company from its present difficulties, Mr. I - lA.wzs moved the appointment of a committee to investigate, and then report on the best steps to be taken. In opposition to that proposition. _ . BLAIR, of Manchester, moved as an amendment " That a new company be formed for the purpose of pur chasing the ship, and that the old shareholders be invited to join in such a scheme." Mr. NlcHoLsoic did not see what use a committee would be. Supposing the ship was got out of her present difficulties, she would have to earn £50,000 per annum to pay preference claims before the original shareholders got a penny. Mr. HAwEs thought if the meeting agreed to his propo sition; there was some chance of good arising ; if not, they would then only be in the same position they were at present. The directors had been at fault all through the piece. The ship had never had a fair trial ; it had, in fact, been an elephant doing the work of a donkey—(hear, hear, and laughter)—and now when there was a chance of putting the elephant to work in its proper sphere, the East—(hear, hear)—he hoped a last great effort would be made to bring about such a consummation. He felt certain one trip to the East would demonstrate the commercial success of the ship. A long discussion followed, on the termination of which the Chairman put the amendment of Mr. Blair to the meeting, when about four or five hands were held up for it. The motion of Mr. Hawes was then agreed to almost unanimously, and the following gentlemen appointed to act on the committee :—Mr. Frsebody, Mr. Thomas Brassy, Mr. W. Hawes, Mr. Prows°, Mr. J. Robinson, and Mr. Richardson, kith power to add to their number. A SHAREHOLDER said there was not a representative of the Lancashire shareholders on the committee. Mr. HawEs replied that he would be glad of the assist• ance of as many gentlemen from Manchester and Lamca. shire as could make it convenient to attend. The meeting then adjourned until Monday, the 12th. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—An ordinary general meeting of this society, for the election of Fellows, was held yesterda., , in. the Council-room at South Kensington. —his grace the Dul:7B of Buccleuch, K.G., vice-president, in the chair. The !minutes of the last meeting having been read, and the ,candidates for ordinary fellowship having been proposed and duly elected, the chairman announced that his Impel'ial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia had been recommended by the council for election as a member of urte society. This announce ment was received with applause;. and his Imperial High. nests was unanimously elected an honorary member. ROMAN RUINS NEAR CHELTEN*LiAm.—A discovery made in a field named Wickham, near Andoversford, has recently been the source of considerable interest and speculation to antiquarians and such of We public as have been made acquainted with the particulars cmanected with. the remarkable Roman site now in the course mf excavation a short distance beyond the Andoversford Inn; For many years coins and various other relics of bygone ages have b een discovered, which, submitted to accomplished numis matists and others skilled in a knowledge of the manners and customs of the Romans during their stay in this coun try, tended to confirm the belief that a station or village had existed in the locality. With a view to test the truth. of. the belief so generally entertained, works have been. going on during the past fortnight, the excavations being under the personal superintendence of Mr. Laurence, the owner of the field, and a few gentlemen interested in the matter. Several acres have been found to be covered over with the substantial foundations of houses, some of which must have been of great size. The ground already opened has furnished abundantly the usual refue of Roman sites, the so-called Samian ware, with black, red, or brown pot tery, bones, teeth, and horns of oxen and deer, teeth of sheep and horses, the large oyster shells, ornaments, and implements in bronze and iron, querns, window glass, &c. Tesselated pavements such as were found on the Sudely estate are also no doubt to be found here. Among the most curious and instructive of the discoveries yet made in this field is a piece of sculpture cut in the oolitic stone of oar hills, showing three full length figures in high relief, the style of whose array may assist in the precise determination. of the age. This, however, is a point hardly doubtful, for during the past week coins have been found and carefully described which range over the period between Domitian and Arcadius inclusive. These latter would imply that the remains belong to the very close of the Roman period in. Britain. --Cheltenham Times.
