Prices, however, are lower than at the close of last sales, owing to the fall in the pri , vats contract markets, the reduction being, on the average, ld per ib. Scoured Cape wool and grease wool from nearly all quarters is without material change in value from last series. The arrivals aro 79,269 bales, comprising 20,507 bales from Sydney; 13 ,347, Victoria; 6,340, Adelaide; 243, Swan River; 1,891, Tasmania ; 9,514, New Zealand; and 28,422 bales from the Cape of Good Hope. Tho total quan tity of wool to be offered at these sales will approximate 90,000 bales. In English wool,' privately, an increased amount of business is done, and prices have, in some in stances, slightly improved. Advices from Melbourne state that a few parcels of the new clip had been exhftited for sale, and that shearing in most districts was making rapid progress. • MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were very quiet for all descriptions of produce. Selected parcels of wheat were firm in price ; but, as regards inferior qualities, the tendency of prices was somewhat in favour of buyers. Good and fine barley and oats fully supported previous rates, whilst other articles changed hands at late quo tations. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, at full prices, and in the value of spring corn very little change has taken place. The export demand for breadstuffs at New York continues firm. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro- duce were but moderate. The impor s from abroad amounted to 20,107 quarters of wheat, 3,500 barley, 24,253 oats, 5,484 beans, 1,700 peas, 30 tares, 16,733 linseed, 13,622 rapeseed, 16,372 maize, 41 sacks, and 7,726 barrels of flour.

The condi tion of the produce exhibited for sale was but middling. The trade ,for foreign wheat was very quiet, and the amount of business transacted both in Continental and American produco was small. In prices, compared with Monday last, no alteration took place.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. —This Day. The November session of the Central Criminal Court, and the first of the present mayoralty, was held to-day. There are 97 prisoners for trial—namely, 82 males and 15 females in custody, and two who ars out on bail. There is one charge of child murder. that of the unhappy young woman who destroyed her illegitimate child in Lambeth by cutting its throat, but the prisoner is not yet committed to Newgate- Among the more serious charges is one against a young woman, named Elizabeth Thomp son, of having attempted to murder her child while suffering under delirium tremens. Another is the case of the young man, Frederick Saunders, who stands charged with feloniously shooting at his brother in-law with attempt to murder him ; and there aro several cases of wounding with intent to murder and to do grievous bodily harm. There are also a rather unusual number of cases of bu-glary. The charges against Mr Hammond, the surgeon, and two females residing with him, of having assaulted and imprisoned his wife, under circumstances of a very extraordinary character, will also have to be dis paced of at this session ; but at the same t me the entice tion was made for a pestponemint at the October session, it was intimated that there was a probability that the parties might come to some arrangement. Among the other cases of interest is that of Mary Florstall, who, although a most illi orate persen, had managed to obtain admission to a highly respectable establishment at Blackheath, and, under the representation that she was the niece and heiress of Mr Horefall, succeeded in victimising the tradesmen in the neighbourhood to an enormous smcunt, and contrived to exhibit all the externals of position and wealth pertaining to an heiress at the expense of th.e'r credulity. She stands committed upon three charges of obtaining jewelry and other valuables, and, no doubt, others will be brought forward. There is one very peculiar charge in the calendar, in which a person named Anderson, and a quack doctor who goes by the name of Dr Henery, are charged, under a recent statute, with misdemeanour in having threatened to publish a certain libellous matter concerning Mr Montagu Clark, a captain in the army,who had impudently got into the hands of the de fendant Henery, with a view to extort money. There is also another peculiar charge of fraud against a prisoner named Augustine William Beauclerk, who describes him. self as a member of the Christian Church of Christ of Jeru salem, who is accused of obtaining money be the false re presentation that ho was under-secretary to the Bishop of London, and wbo also represented himself to be "special messenger" to Cardinal Wiseman. Besides these charges of fraud there is one of the same description against two persons named De Witt and Weight, the charge against them being one of obtaining a very largo quantity of wine, of the value of many thousands of pounds, by means of fraud and forgery. The Recorder charged the grand jury, and in the course of his observations referred to some of the above cases, and very shortly after the trials commenced. Ed ward Fuller, engineer, was indicted for stealing two brushes and a piece of flannel, the property of the London and South Western Railway Company. There was also a charge against Thomas Smith of receiving the said pro perty, well knowing it to have been stolen,but did not sur render to his bail. The evidence to support the indictment having been The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr Ribton, who appeared for the prosecution, said there were two other indictments against the prisoner, but as Smith had not surrendered he had to ask that sentence might be postponed until next session. The Recorder said it had been stated that a quantity of property had been found at the prisoner's house, he should like to know of what that property consisted. Mr Ribton said the property consisted of a great many things, such as oil, grease, So., in weight exceeding a ton. It was discovered at Cudham, in Kent, where the prisoner occupied a small farm, under the name of Fidler. The farm was managed for the prisoner by the wan Smttb, to whom he paid £1 a week, but as this person was not then in court he thought if the proceedings with respect to other indictments wet e postponed he had no doubt he would be in attendance. The Recorder asked if the man Smith was in an 3 way prevented at tending tc-day. Mr Ribton said he was in custody on another charge. The learned gentleman engaged to defend Smith said,• his client was out shooting, and some charge respecting the identity of a gun prevented his attendance that day. The Recorder, under the circumstances, postponed pass 13g sentence this Session. ILLEGALLY OBTAINING A CHEQUE-B 00K.—Arthur Law a young man lately engaged as orderly clerk to the 3rd London Rifle Corps was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a demand for a cheque-book for Colonel Alfred B. Richards, the commanding officer of the corps, with intent &a. The evidence showed that an order for a cheque-book from Colonel Richards was presented by the Agra and Masterman's Bank where the funds of the corps were kept, and no doubt being entertained of the genuineness of the order the book was delivered to him. In a short time after some cheques torn from the bank-book were presented, properly filled up and purporting to be signed by Colonel Richards, at the bank and paid. It was afterwards dis • covered that five forged cheques had been paid, and the handwriting of the order and signature " A. B. Richards," being believed to be the handwriting of the prisoner, he was given into custody and charged with the offence. Colonel Richards and other members of . the corps having been examined, The prisoner, who conducted his own defence, made a long and rambling speech in which he totally denied the charges brought against him. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and ho was sen ;need to five years' penal servitude. University Intelligence. OXFORD, Nov. 18.

A full average supply of foreign stock was on sale in our market to-day, and its general quality was very middling. Sales progressed slowly at barely last week's prices, The show of English beasts was very moderate, of Scotch limited, of Irish tolerably large; but the condition of most breeds was by no means first-rate, if we except the arrivals from Scotland. On the whole, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices had a drooping tendency. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d per Alb. A total clearance of the supply was not effected, From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nonhampton shire we received 2,200 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 140 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 600 oxen and heifers.

WHOLESALE RECEIVING OF STOLEN PROPERTY BY A " DOLLY SHOP" KEEPER.—ROBBERIES FROM RAILWAY VANS.—John Pickett, the keeper of a " dolly" or leaving shop in New-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with having in his possession a large quantity of valuable property believed to be stolen, About a cart load of property was produced in Court, consisting of wearing apparel, &3. Mr Henry Swan, of Knight Rider-street, Doctors Corn• mons, attended on the part of Messrs. Boxendale, carrying on business under the style of Pickford and Co., the exten sive carriers, and Mr Wontner appeared for the prisoner. Mr Swan, in opening the case, said that for some time past Messrs Pickford had been seriously robbed of goods in transit from the country to London and from railway vans, and had had to pay something like £2OO a month for pro perty missing. They had endeavoured to trace the matter, but without success, till Saturday night, when Sergeant Cole, of the C division, succeeded in tracirg some of it to be in possession of the prisoner, and found that he had sold three cloaks, one a seal skin, of the value of £2I, which would be produced and identified. Mr Swan then call3d Sergeant Coles, 23 C, who deposed— On Saturday night I met the prisoner in Golden-square. I told him I should apprehend him for receiving a black-skin cloak, a quantity of umbrellas, and other articles. The prisoner made no reply, and I handed him over to a con stable, who took him to the station. I then proceeded to 14, New-street, Golden-square, ivhere the prisoner keeps a "dolly" or "leaving" shop, and then commenced searching the place, when I found a large quantity of property in various parts of the shop and parlour, consisting of clothing all new concealed in a bag under the bed, 11 pairs of new boots, 33 yards of sage, 21 new books in a parcel under the drawers, some coats, and some other articles. I found a seal skin cloak and two other cloaks at the house of a Mrs Foley, who said she had purchased them of the prisoner, and sold them again. Mrs Foley keeps a wardrobe shop. By Mr Wontner—l took most of the property I suspected of being stolen. The prisoner used to be a conductor of an omnibus. I also took £2O 13s Gd from the prisoner. I found a number of articles in the window. Ido not sus pect some of the things to have been stolen, but I know they have beea.

The property was received on the 24th of October, and shortly after missed. _ _ _ Mr Swan handed the witness a ring, and the witness said—That is one of the rings stolen. It has engraved in side of it " You are one of might." _ ... . . Mr Swan—l hive now proved thatthe things have been stolen from Messrs Pickford and found in the prisoner's possession, and will therefore ask for a remand. Mr Tyrwhitt asked if Mrs Foley was present. Mrs Foley, of Little Pulteney.street. said—l keep a wardrobe shop. I purchased the three cloaks produced of the prisoner en the 28th of October. The parcel was left with a card of the prisoner attached to it. The prisoner aftel : wards oalled and said, on my telling him that he had not left the price, that he wanted £lO for the three cloaks. I told him to call again, and I at first offered him £7, which he said he could not take, and that he wanted £9, but he afterwards took £3, and gave me a bill for them on my pay ing him. There is no date to the bill, but I remember it was on the 28th October. Mr Swan—That is all the evidence I propose to call to day. ____ By Mr Wontner—l had the seal shin cloak lined and cleaned since. I thought I gav e a fair prico for it. The prisoner was then remanded.

"THE WORLD OF MAGIC."—The Commercial Travellers' schools, Pinner, boys and girls, as well as 700 other children belonging to the various metropolitan schools, were invited free by Professor Anderson to witness his eleventh gmainee, on Saturday afternoon, at the St. James's Hall. The house was crowded in every part. The Tribunal of Correctional Police, on Friday last, condemned a M. de X, to a fine of 50f and costs for sending bank notes in a letter by the post without going through the formalities required by the law. The gentle man, in his defence, said that ho had put on the letter the five seals, and had marked the amcunt of the notes on the outside, telling his cook to take it to the post and have it registered. The woman doubtless mistook the word chargement for afranchisement, and putting two postage stamps on the letter threw it into the box. The President recommended the gentleman on a future occasion not to trust to a servant what ho could better do himself. The Court of Lyons has just given its decision on an appeal made by the proprietors of the Monche steamboat against their recent condemnation for homicide through negligence. It will be remembered that the boat swayed on passing under a bridge, the passengers rushed on one side, the balustrade broke, and a good many fell into the water and were drowned. The sentence of imprisonment against M. Chaize was reduced to two months, and the two partners were ordered to pay the costs between them. M. Plasson had been sentenced by the Court below to the pay ment of a fine only, but on an appeal by the Procureur• General, the Court decided that the punishment was not in proportion with the offence, and ordered M. Plasson to Le imprisoned for a month and a half also.

" KRISMA.NIC, M9jlr-General. "Udine, NovcHber 11, 1864," ASTRONOMY IN THE ELEVENTII CENTURY. — M. Leverrier last week presented to the Academy of Sciences the third volume of the astronomical works of Alphonse X., King of Castile, published by Don M. Rico y Sinobas. It consists of various treaties translated from the Arabic by order of that monarch, viz., a treatise on the universal luminary Astrolabe of Toledo; the Az ifeha of Seville, the Book of the Seven Planets, a treatise on a Universal Planetarium, and another on (ha astro nomical quadrant. Alt' these were written in the eleventh century, that is, two hundred years before the reign of Alphonse, who cAused them to be added to his " Great Book on the Knowledge of the Heavens," The treatises on the astrolabe were written by Azarquiel, a well-known astronomer of Toledo, remark for the simplicity of his style, his practical knowledge, and his rejection of idle theories. Azarquiel improved the spherical astrolabe of Hipparchus by adding alidadas or sights, quadrants, and trigonometrical lines, dividing the radius into 60 parts instead of 60,000, the division adopted by Regiolnontanus. His work also contains numerous rules and problems solved by his two ezifehas astro labes. The treatises on the planets are equally re markable, from the fact that they contain cer tain important data closely resembling tilos) we owe to tie period of Kepler. The instruments described in them con sisted of metallic circular plates provided with sights, and upon which the orbits of each of the planets were delineated. From these it appears that the Arabian astronomers endea voured to discover the real figure of the planetary orbits. The result at which Azarquiel and Aboulcacin arrived was an oval orbit for Mercury, while Kepler, several centuries later, found an elliptical one for Mars. Kepler followed up his immortal laws as the truth ful expression of the motion of the heavenly bodies, but Azarquiel, in his book written at so remote a period as the eleventh century, says in the simplest language that the curve described by Mercury, though difficult to find, owing to the many lines it requires, is the best for observing Mer cury in its irregular motion in the heavens, This opinion, though clearly expressed and geographically represented, remained barren and neglected from the 11th to the 17th century, when Kepler published his "Laws" and " Rudol phine Tables." FREEZING OF THE BLACK SEA.—In M. de Tohi • hatchet's interesting work, "Le Bosphore et Can. stantinople," we find the following curious information concerning the Black Sea, and the possibility of its ever being frozen over. History records seventeen instances of the partial congelation of its vast surface since the beginning of the Christian era, viz , in 401, 753, 739, 755, 762, 928, 931, also about 950, and in the reign of the Emperor Basilius, and then in 1232, 1620, 1669, 1755, 1823, 1849, and 1862. The year 762 is positively men tioned by histoiians as having witnessed the all but total congelation of the Euxine. Ovid, indeed, who lived in exile on its shores between the years 7 at d 17 of our era, asserts that within that period the mouths of the Danube were frozen up ; but since the remarkable year 762 there is no positive evidence of their having ever been so. In speaking of that year the Patriarch Nicephorus states that the ice was 13 metres in thickness I M. Da Tchihat chef very justly remarks that at'Brussels, which is about nine degrees more to the north than Constantinople, the ice has never, in the severest winters, attained a thickness of more than half a metre. Reducing, therefore, the Byzantine historian's extraordinary statement even to half the amount, our author is of opinion that there must have been at least 20 degrees centigrade of cold (four degrees below Fahrenheit's zero). Ha further remarks on the curious circumstance that the severe winters of the region of the Black Sea, above recorded, have very seldom coincided m ith !hoe() remarked in other parts .of Europe. Thus, for instance the Adriatic was nearly frozen over in 859 and 1234, dates which do not correspond with any of the years mentioned above. Hence he thinks it more than probable that the great frosts of the Euxine must have been owing to local causes, especially as the'northern coasts are subject to much lower temperatures than the southern ones, and much more so than difference of latitude might warrant. SCENE IN MUSSELBURG COURT.—A COUN CILLOR. AT BAR,-At this Court on Friday, Provost Lawrie presided, supported by his brother magistrates, Messrs Charles, Feerns, and Leitch. The first called was one of assault against Councillor A. Millar. Upon the complaint being read the defender was asked to plead, when ho said he was not guilty. Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that on a recent day, when the defender was carrying furniture from a cart into his shop a number of boys were playing on the footpath, when ono of their number was kicked by the defender twice or thrice, The magistrates found the case proved, and sentenced the accused to pay a fino of 20s, or suffer twenty days' imprisonment. Councillor Millar paid the fine, and asked the Provost what he was to do when annoyed in his business by boys playing about his shop-door. In addressing the Provost, the defender stood at the bar with his hands in his trousers pockets. The Pro vost said—Sir, take your hands out of your pockets, and stand in a respectful manner; if you don't, sir, I shall commit you for contempt of Court. Councillor Millar—l have paid my fine, and I think I have a right to stand how I like. Provost Lawrie—Sir, if you say another word, I'll commit you, Councillor Millar remained quiet, but still in the same position, until the sentence was read by the clerk, when Mr Millar turned round saying, " Good-bye, gentle men." The business of the Court was then proceeded with. —Scotsman. LONDON NCD3ES.—Oh! for the pen of Gay or honest Stow to chronicle all the noises that make the sublime hubbub of mighty London I The din is so perpetual, that we who live in the city have learned to dis regard it. Seldom, indeed, do we reflect on all the consti tuents of the general uproar, the key-note of which seems to be the rattle of cabs and omnibuses over the granite, accompanied, now and then, with the labouring, crunching, heavy bass of Pickford's waggons grind ing all the stones to powder in their progress. Over these rise the resounding blows of the smith's hamrs3r rivetting iron bolts into girder bridges; the shrill screech of the railway whistle, the chiming of church bells, and, pre-eminently, the sonorous throat of old Paul's, with the grand swell of the melodious monster in the clock tower of Westminster, which may be heard with a fair wind, half over London; the rustle of autumn leaves, the patter of the descending rain, and the dolorous sighing of the east wind as it beats against the churches; anon, something more familiar strikes the ear—the cheerful chirrup of the sparrow among the house tops, the whistle of the errand boy going to his morning's work, or the wild laugh of the wanton mocking at her own despair; then the rifle bands break in with their stirring melody, and the tramp of martial footsteps vibrates down the lung street. As the echoes of fife and drum die away, the " Buy, buy" of the butcher twangs upon the senses. "Standard, sir," becomes importunately obtru sive. "Any hare skins P . ' accompanies the postman's knock. Th e "Ethiopian Serenaders" rattle their bones. and " Punch" pierces the dun air with his lively squeak, Worse than all, a gigantic Cochin- China cock protests against his imprisonment in a hen-coop by a series of astounding crows ; a mercurial donkey cuts shines with his heels, and breaks out exultingly with a bray like an ophicleido. Succ:ssive fl9elrs of sheep driven from the cattle market to the slaughter-houses baa awfully; calves bleat, cows low, and dogs bark, until every other sound is hushed into silence by a tremendous hurrah from a miilion-voiced crowd who are cheering my Lord Mayor as he rides in state t o West minster to be enthroned, for one year, as Ring of th e Ci ty. —City Press. TROOPS FOR MExico.--Messrs, Pothonier and Co., shipbrokers, of Liverpool, have chartered for tho Mexican Government three fine steamers—the Bolivian, the Peruvian, and the Brazilian, each of 2,000 tons burden and 600-horse power —for the purpose of *conveying the recently formed contingent of Austrian and Belgian troops raised for the service of the new Emperor of 1 11txieo to that kingdom, Each of these steamers has been fitted up to convey about 1,000 men, and the Bolivian was expected to leave Trieste yesterday.

LORD DERBY has been occupied for three years in his translation of Homer, of which ho himself does not think so highly as do many of his literary friends. " MERRY AND WISE," a new illustrated magazine for the young people, edited by "Old Merry," will be com menced by Messrs Jackson, Walford, and Hodder in Janu ary. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Lucy Aikin, who died last January, and wrote various historical works, thus speaks of Sir Walter Scott, whom she met hi 1811 :—" Though ho speaks very broad Scotch, is a heavy-looking man, and has little the air of a gentleman, I was much pleased with him. He is lively, spirited, and quite above all affectation." An old man named Lauthier, residing at Nismes, lost his life a few nights ago in a rather singular manner. His granddaughter, finding that he did not come down at his usual hour to take his coffee, went to his room. Alarmed by the heat of the door and by the smell of burnt linen, she called for assistance, and on the door being forced open, the bed of the old man was found completely burnt, and the body calcined. The room being very small, and wirhout ventilation, the supposition is that the be 'clothes or the curtains having caught fire from a night-lamp 'which stood noer, had burnt, but that the want of air had pre vented the dimes acquiring violence enough to extent further. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAYS-- The directors of the London and North Western Company are about to allot to their proprietors rateably, at par. ad ditional ordinary stock to the amount of about .£1,000,000, equivalent to about 5 per cent. on the ordinary capital. The allotments will be made to the proprietors registered on the 19th instant, in the form of ordinary stock, to be paid up in full on the 3d January, 1865, carrying ordinary dividend as from the Ist of that month. -- HURRICANE AT RIO JANEIRO.--RIO DE JANFIRO, Oct. 11.—A violent hurricane burst over this city and bay at 6 o'clock on the evening of tho 10th inst. Rain fell in torrents, accompanied by very largo hailstones, flooding nearly all the houses in the city. The damage is estimated at several millions of francs. Eleven merchant vessels were wrecked, and several persons perished. Capt. Abeille, of the French ship Reins Marguerite, rec3ived cn board his vessel Admiral Elliot and his wife, who were in a sinking boat. IMPORTATION OP EGGS—Two hundr e d an d seventy-two millions o f eggs h ave b een imported into this country in th e n i ne months of this year ended 31th of September. In the corresponding period of 1863 the number was slightly less than 213 millions. In the same months . of 1b62 it was 177 millions ; in those of 1861 not more than 164 millions, and in those of IS6O only 134 mil lions; so that the importation of this descrilaion of food has more than doubl.d since the übJlition of the Customs' duty thereon. Three-fourths of the entire quantity are sent from France, and the greater portion of the residue from the Channel Islands, Belgium, and Spain. We lately alluded to the probability of the rumour that Lord William Paulet would succeed Sir Jas. Scarlett as Adjutant-General in April next. We believe our readers may regard the appointment as sure to take place,—Army and Aavy Gazette. The new bank which !Et about't o be established in Mexico is to be represented in London by Baring Brothers, and in Paris by MM. nottinguer, Mallet, Fould, and Mareuard: This has caused the rise in Mexican Scrip which has taken place within the few days. BRIGANDAGE IN TIIESSALY.—A letter from LAI rissa,inThessaly, states that a band of brigands, consisting of about 48 individuals, attacked the village of Chamaco while the male population was absent. The women were seized, and boiling oil poured on them to force them to declare where their money and jewels of value were con cealed. The ruffians made off, carrying a large quantity of booty.
