MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The position of the Discount Market this morn ing presents a more satisfactory state of affairs. Bill brokers and others appear more anxious to ob tain business than for several days past, and are consequently offering to negotiate securities upon easier terms. Thus, for instance, the best mercan tile paper of three months' date may be negotiated a fraction under the official minimum of 4 per cent., but that rate is still quoted as the general charge. The amount of specie to be conveyed by the Ripon, which leaves to-day for India and China, is £202,034, principaliy silver. During the last few days there has been more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The demand for sugar for home con sumption has slightly increased, and good and fine qualities have fractionally advanced. Coffee has continued in fair reqnest, without material change as regards prices. For rice there has been an active demand chiefly for export, while the opera tions in tea have only been limited consequent upon the large quantity about to be brought forward at the next public sales. Fruit has been dealt in to a limited extent, while the public sale of indigo have proceeded with cmsiderable animation, enhanced' rates being realised in most instances. The tallow market has also shown a more active appearance, and quotations for both present and forward delivery tend upwards; P.Y.C., on the spot, is marked 455., and spring delivery 465. to 465. 6d. per cwt. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday next for a special settlement in the shares of the London, Hambargh, and Continental Ex change Bank, dealings in which are to be daily reeorded. At the annual general meeting of proprietors of the Union Steamship Company held to-day—Mr. A. Anderson in the chair•—the report stated that the arrangement for continuing the mail service between the Cape of Good Hope and Natal have not yet been concluded, but the steamers Norman and Dane have been for the past eight months run.. ning between those colonies with the mails, under a temporary agreement with the Natal Government. The accounts showed a small increase in the receipts for freight and passage-money during the past year. A dividend of £1 per share for the last half year, and also a bonus out of last year's earnings, under the late postal contract, of 10s, per share. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f 45c to 67f 37c. Firm—subsequently heavy. The English Stock Market has been very dull, but steady. The transactions, although exceedingly limited, are nevertheless sufficient in amount to maintain prices. Consols have remained at 93 I for money, and 93} 1 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are buoyant at 914 I; Ex chequer Bills are steady at 2s die. to is prem. ; Bank Stock is 233 2354 ; India Stock, 224 226; the to per Cent.

The Confede rate Loan is 65 67 ; the New Portuguese, 4 14 prem. ; and the Colombian 1 die. to par. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been of the most limited description, and prices have not varied to any considerable extent. North Western have improved about 55., while Great Western and South Western have declined ss. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited inquiry, at about previous quotations. Bank Shares continue inactive. London and Westminster have declined to 791 ; and National of Liverpool have improved to 19i ; London and Buenos Ayres are steady, at 531 1; and Union of London, at: 38 India Loan Mortgage Bask shares are quoted 3 to 31 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, to prem.; and East London, 4to 41 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market there is no change. International Financial Shares ' realise 10k I; London Financial shares, 15k 1; and Discount Corporation are quoted 9 to 9, prem.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of h 3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of! gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling. 'tnndard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 157 to 1571 per cent., and the premium on gold is 43 to 431 per cent. At these rates there is very little Profit on, the importation of gold from the United States. Business done. THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY E'VENINO, °MEER 20, 1861 POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. STEALING A WATCll.—Thomas Cody, a well-known thief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with stealing a watch, the property of a gentleman unknown. George Johnston said, about 10 o'clock on the night of October 16 he saw the prisoner near a cab at the corner of Exeter-street. Two persons were getting out, one of whom appeared to be very much intoxicated. In a short time after he saw the prisoner make a snatch at the drunken man's watch, and ,run away, when the person who was with the gentleman whose watch had been stolen immediately pursued the prisoner. J. seph Groves said ho met the gentleman by acciiient in a publichouse in the Strand. They afterwards drove in a cab to another publichouse at the corner of Exeter-street. He was certain his companion had a gold watch, because he saw him take it from his pocket two or three times whilst he was with him. The last witness after the robbery came up and told him a man had taken away his friend's watch, and pointed out the prisoner, who was running away, as the person. lie (witness) pursued him through a lot of courts, but finally came up with him in Russell-court and seized him by the collar. He asked him for the watch, when he said he had not it, but upon being told he should not let him go till he had satisfied himself of that, prisoner pointed to one of the areas near him, and said the watch was down there. Witness upon this looked, and there he saw the watch lying; he still held him, upon which the prisoner said, " You've got the watch, why don't you let rue go ?" A policeman came up, and just at that moment a person came to the door of the house and gave the watch into the constable's hand. Police-constable, 112 F, said he went to Russell-court and then took the primer into custody for stealing a gold watch. When he (prisoner) saw the watch in his hand, he said, " What's the use of making a row, you've got the watch, why don't you let me go." He, however, took him to the station-house, and charged him with the robbery. He also took the gentleman who had been robbed into cus tody for being drunk. On that occasion the name and address he gave had proved fictitious, and he could not find him. Mr. Corrie asked if the prisoner was known ? Detective Ackrill said he had known the prisoner for years as a thief. He had been sentenced to four years' penal servitude by Judge Payne at the Middlesex Sessions, upon which occasion the judge informed the prisoner that if he came there again he would give him 10 years' penal servi tude. Since that the prisoner had been summarily con victed for stealing a watch at the Epsom races. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, The Prisoner repeated it was no good saying anything. There was a mistake somewhere this time, as he did not steal the gentleman's watch. Mr. Corrie fully committed the prisoner for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO HOUSEHOLDERS—AN ARTFUL TRICK,-- A gentleman applied to Mr. Knox this morning for advice in regard to a claim which had been brought against him by a house agent, and respecting which he wished to put persons who had houses or apartments to let on their guard. The applicant went on to say that about a year ago an ad vertisement appeared in the Times newspaper as follows : " Furnished Apartments.—Wanted, for a permanency, by a gentleman, between Piccadilly an& Oxford-street. Good sitting-room and bed•room. Terms, from £l2O to £l5O for a year. Apply, &a." The advertisement, apparently com ing from a gentleman seeking apartments, his (applicant's) wife answered, he having, like many other professional men, a larger house than he required. Two or three days after a person called to see the rooms (a second flJor), and after seeing them, and when upon the point of leaving he said to his wife, " Will you be kind enough to put the right name and address, and perhaps you will add the date." The person said the last few words in a callous off-hand. manner, at the same time handing applicant's wife a paper. His wife thought there could be no olsjection to do so, and wrote as desired, and would make an affidavit that there was nothing on the paper respecting any agreement or contract—at least as presented to her, for it might have been doubled; nothing was said either respecting any "commission," because his wife did not when writing know the person was not seeking the rooms for himself; and that she did not intend to sign any engage ment was evident, because she wrote his (applicant's) name and not her own, and gave him the distinction certainly unnecessary under the circumstances, of " Esq." after his name. After the person had obtained the writing on the paper, he admitted, to his (applicant's) wife's surprise, that he did not requiro the rooms for himself, but had been sent by the house-agent, or as his (applicant's) wife thought the gentleman to whom she had written, and he added they might suit the gentleman named in the advertisement, or, if not, some other they would send. The person then left. No one came, however, from the agent for some months after, and then no arrangement was made; and later a person, evidently drunk, called, but was not admitted Meanwhile the rooms had been let more than once, not, however, to any one sent by this agent, who was not in formed of the fact, as he had never in any way been en, ployed. A few days ago the same person called to know if the rooms were let. and finding they were he demanded the name of the occupant. He was supplied with it, so that he might know he had not sent the gentleman(as the gentleman would prove if necessary). To his (applicant's) astonish ment he received a day or two later a claim for £5 100. for so-called " commission" as per " signed terms." Having requested an explanation, he received in answer what proposed to be a " copy " of the paper with his name, address, and date, as before mentioned, given by his wife, but with, to the best of her belief, some printed "terms" added at the head of the paper. These " terms " were printed in very small characters (the applicant handed the paper to Mr. Knox for his inspection), and very artfully concocted, and concluded with the words " I assent to these terms respecting"—then follows the written particulars. One of these " terms," however, would be sufficient to make the most reckless person pause if seen at all, for it makes the percentage payable on the whole period for which the property is let or disposed of by any one or with drawn. This being his (applicant's) case he wished to know what he could do, as he considered it a most extortionate demand, and whether he could not prosecute the agent for obtaining a signature under false pretences, with a view to extract money or obtain some indemnification for the annoyance and loss of time. He asked the question on behalf of many persons, who, from fear or other motives— especially females—might not resist such a claim, especially as his wife had seen a number of the persons at the agent's office with postage stamps, and then when she called to know what was meant by " signed terms," the applicant was threatened to be served with a writ. Mr. Knox said there was no possible claim against the applicant, and if he resisted payment and an action was brought, the judge would laugh at the plaintiff and order him to pay the costs. The applicant, however, might be pretty sure that steps would not be taken, and need not fear action. He (Mr. Knox) felt sure that publicity being given to the matter, would meet the end the applicant had in view, and put persons.on their guard. few days since several cases of cigars, valued at £lso;vere stolen in the St. Katherine's Dock, brought out in another barge, and removed from the cases, which were discovered empty by the Thames police. The ingots of tin were stolen from the barge Vesuvius in the East India Dock. Five men are known to have been connected in the robbery , and but for an accident would have all been in custody of the Thames police. The prisoners are watermen and lighter men, and well known to the Thames police. Holmes was in custody a few weeks since for furious driving and killing a woman opposite Stepney Church. A coroner's jury took a merciful view of the case and returned a verdict of acci dental death. Holmes was then discharged from custody. Evidence was given of the delivery of 160 ingots of tin from a vessel called the Anna Augusta into the barge Ve suvius, beloneing to Messrs. Ward and Harris, lighter men and carriers, of No. 67, Lower Thames-street. The Vesuvius was moored alongside the ship Kent. The ingots of tin were correct on Saturday, the 10th instant. On the following Monday morning the hatches were taken off and 26 ingots of tin were missed. Robert John Major, an inspector of the Thames police, said that in consequence of the robbery of the tin on board the Vesuvius he was on the watch on the East India Dock pier -head during the whole of Monday, the 12th instaat. Inspector Clark was with him. He saw the prisoners several times in the course of the day, and he observed them go on board a barge called the William, and bring it out. They first brought it to the upper end of the Bruns wick pier at Blackwell. After sunset he went on board the barge William, in company with Clark, and found several ingots of tin concealed under some iron hurdles. They continued watching the barge, and saw the prisoners go on board agair. On the samo night a horse and cart was brought to the entrance of the East India Dock. He got into a boat with Clark, and expected to apprehend the whole gang concerned in the robbery, but they got scent of what was going on and made their escape. While rowing towards the William they heard theiwooden handles fall, and preparations being made for the removal of the stolen property. All at once the prisoners and their confederates hastily decamped. The whole of the 26 ingots of tin were found on board the William. One of the ingots was produced and identified. Dyer, another Thames poiice officer, gave evidence affecting the prisoners. Mr. Gomm, who appeared for the prisoners, cross examined the witnesses, but did not elicit any material point in favour of the prisoners. Mr. Partridge said he should remand the prisoners at present. His intention was to commit them for trial on a future day. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The report of the directors of this company states that the average number of miles of railway open for traffic dur ing the half -Sear was 504, being an increase of 664 miles upon the number open in the corresponding period of the previous year. The gross amount received for traffic in the half-year ended June 30 last was £290,444, equal to £576 5s 61d per railway mile and to lls B,lcl per train mile. Of that amount £56,101 was expended in transporting the traffic between the gaps in the railway system at the Bhore and the Thull Ghats, which left £234,343 received for traffic. Against this latter sum were set the working expenses cf the railway, amounting to £149,550, leaving a net profit for the half-year of £84,781. The train miles run were 667,142, being en increase of 86,055 miles; the number of passen gers carried was 1,5:58,970, being 266,603 more than for the corresponding half of 1862. The merchandise carried, in cluding 39,339 tons of the company's materials, amounted to 211,523 tons, being 25,000 tons more than for the same half of 1862. The receipts for passengers amounted to £79,161, being an increase of £15,600 ; and for merchan dise to £155,182, being an increase of £51,598 over those for the corresponding half of last year. The average receipts per train mile amounted to 7s 01-d, and the expenses to 4s 51d, showing a net profit per train mile of 2s 61d. The .working expenses amounted to 63 . 81 per cent. of the total receipts, against 62.10 per cent. for the corresponding half of 1862. The receipts per railway mile were higher in the past half-year by £B3, notwithstanding the increased mile age worked. The directors were of opinion that a still bet ter result would have been apparent had such rate been in force, as the board considered the company were fairly en titled to charge, and which they had for a long time past been endeavouring to get the consent of the Government to introduce. The directors' views on the subject were in the month of June last again prominently brought before the Government authorities at home and in India, and they had now reason to hope that it would be shortly dealt with in such a manner as to realise the company's just expecta tions. The working expenses amounted to 63.81 per cent. of the receipts, being an increase of 1.71 per cent. upon the expenses of the corresponding period of last year. This rate of per tentage included for compensation £24,619 or 10 51 per cent. of the receipts; the amount of that item in the corresponding period having been only £796 or 0.47 per cult. Excluding " compensation" the ratio of expenditure to receipts in the past half-year was 53.31 per cent. The directors regretted that the company should have sustained the serious loss of £24,619, which arose chiefly in connec tion with the cotton traffic, several accidental fires having occurred in trains of cotton during the dry season, and a considerable quantity of cotton which was in course of tran sit at the commencement of the S.W. monsoon had been unavoidably damaged by rain while in the company's pos session, Measures have been taken to avoid similar acci dents in future, By the end of this year the only works of importance upon the Thull Ghat incline which would not be finished would be No. 2 tunnel and the Eheagaum viaduct; and Mr. Graham, the chief resident engineer, saw nothing in those works to prevent them being com pleted by May next, Upon several other con tracts the works were being energetically prosecuted. In consequence of the Secretary of State for India having de termined not to extend the existing system of guarantee, and the directors feeling that the company's interests required that measures should forthwith be taken to secure the con struction of the branch to connect their line with Indore, which had been surveyed by the sanction of the Govern ment, they formed a separate company in Juno last called The Great Indian Peninsula Extension Railway Company (limited)," with the object of making and working the In dore line. The project was favourably entertained both by the Government and the public, but it having been found necessary to refer the negotiations to India, the directors re quested their colleague, Mr Ayrton, 111.1 3 , to proceed to India, and conclude arrangements with the Government there. The report of Mr. Graham, the chief resident engineer, stated that since his last report the section of the Bhore Ghat incline from Padusdhurry to Khandalla, a distance of 131 miles, and a section on the north-eastern division from Julgaum to Mulkapore, a distance of 151 miles, making a total of ,59,1 miles of new line, had been opened for public traffic, increasing the total length of the opened line from 4951 to 555 miles. The permanent way and works had been maintained in good order, with the exception only of some heavy slips in the Goolbun embankment. This embank ment, which was over 100 ft in height, was completed after the close of last rains, consequently a considerable portion of the upper earthwork had not had the full benefit of last monsoon; some difficulty, therefore, in the maintenance of this portion of the line during the present rains was to be expected. The road across the embankment had, notwith standing, been maintained throughout with very little in terruption to the traffic. The Bhore Ghat incline was opened by his Excellency the Governor on the 21st of April, and on the 14th of the following month goods trains commenced working over it, and continued work ing regularly up to the 16th of June, when after a heavy and continuous rain the large embankment near the foot of the Ghat were reported unsafe for the passage of trains. Since that date no trains had been run, and embankments 5 and 8 had settled to the extent of about Bft. since the be ginning of the rains. A slip of 1,500 about cubic yards, and about 100 ft. in length, had occurred in No. 5 embankment. The only slip of any importance in the slopes of cuttings had occurred at the lower end of cutting No. 4, where about 1,300 cubic yards of the slope came in, filling the railway for a length of 100`t. and nearly 12ft. in depth, Some small slips had occurred on other parts of the line. The surveys for a line from Sholapore to llydrabad and to Raiehore, as origina ll y proposed, were c om pl e t e d, an d i n the course of a few days l'aL. Graham could submit his re port on those extensions. The capital account (London and Bombay) to the 3th June last showed that £10,675,054 had been received, and £10,017,110 expended, l ea ving a balan ce of £ 657,941. The net revenue account to the 30th of Juno last showed that £556,249 was the aggregate amount of net profit from work ing the line, of which £50,1 32 had been paid into the Go vernment treasury, leaving £48,117 to be paid. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA. It appears that the directors of this comp an y h ave b een informed by their financial agent in Canada that the loss on through traffic collected and converted, ascertained up to the 3d October, amounted to 30,966 dols 71c (£6,369 3s 9d), and that there remained a further sum of American funds for conversion a t that date o f 30,080 dol s 76 0.

The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, toll duty, &c., from July I to Oct. 11, 1863, amounted to £89,873, as against £89,633 for the corresponding period of 1862. The proportion of the South Junction receipts ac cruing to this com2any from July 1 to Oct. 11 amounted to the Corre s p on di ng per i o d o f £10,295 as against £9,613 for 1,562 as against .£1,090. 1862, and the expenses to Why Mr. Sergeant Shee was Passed Over. (From the Daily Telegraph of this day.) We must confess that we share the dissatisfac tion which has attended the last promotion to the bench. The general opinion that the right man has been passed over for the wrong appears to us just, We mean no disrespect whatever by this distinc tion; the advancement of Judge Pigott to the judi cial seat would have been a perfectly acceptable ap pointment, if there had been any need to search after a respectable candidate for the vacancy. But when there was no such necessity—when every voice was ready to designate the name that beet deserved the elevation, and the Prime Minister himself was thoroughly aware of the overwhelm ing claims of Mr. Sergeant Shee—it is a matter of public regret and disappointment that that gentleman should have been passed over. There is no need to dwell upon the command ing qualifications of the distinguished advocate we have named for the ermine. No one stands higher in the profession —none unites more experience with more legal acumen—and none has been so unanimously regarded as judge elect by his learned brothers and the community at large. Mr. Sergeant Shee, indeed, has constantly discharged the duties of the bench, and not without confirming the universal opinion that at the first opportunity he deserved, and might safely look forward to being permanently sealed there. When that opportnnity has o ccurred,therefore,and another selection has bEen made, the public is thoroughly disappointed, and not a little perplexed. We are constrained to share the di sa ppointment, though we have little difficulty in co mprehending the feelings which induced the Go vernment to inflict it. We are quite ready to make every allowance ior the practical exigencies of admi nistration. Ministers cannot count upon Platonic love in Parliament ; their supporters must be en couraged from time to time by some of the rewa r d s o f party; and this distribution must take place by rules of utility rather than merit. It is a bad sys tem, but it is the system of both sides, and one w hich can hardly be dropped till all lawyers are disinterested, and all votes strictly conscientious. Pending away that millenium, a Premier with somet hi ng to g has to discover a recipient u se f u l f or th e future, if only by holding out to others an exam ple of fidelity rewarded. " A live dog," says the proverb" is better than a d ea d li on ;" an d so a .sol dier political field is better than a discharged veter an. In Judge Pigott the Cabinet saw the first, i n Sergt• She e the second; and the choice fell accord ingly. in ' We have said that we are w illing to admit all the force of this consid e rati on . It m ay cou n t for it can with practi ca l men , as an explana tion; f o r our own part we must not on l y re j ec t i t what as a suf ficient • justificati on , b ut put i t as id e as t h e true cense of the injustice done to Mr. Sergeant Shee. _ The true cause —and that on account of which we fin d grave fault with the appointment—was that sergeant Shee is a Roman Catholic. Th 3 learned gentleman has been so true a Liberal, t h a t his a bsence from Parliament would have been b his g reat c l a i ms upon the party . But rin so which the Romish faith, the m e nich he h as most richly d eserve d oehaeelacncesd e h by o by hi s talents, and especially from a Liberal Go vernment, is refused. W e must speak f ran kl y on th itopie—we mu s t not h es i tate to di sc l ose the unfortunate arguments that have obviously pre vailed. The Government has lacked courage in this matter, and not discrimination ; there was little need of any ass urance that Se rgeant Shee was the best judge who c ould be no minated; the thing needed was the independence to shake off the ear-wigging remonstrances of Exeter Hall. Yet here again we are ready to make every possible allowance. The Protestant party has done good service to the Pal merston :Ministry, and could not be offended with impunity; the alliance, however, is little better than members are to dictate ap poit to the judicial b enc h as we l l as to t h e nni a en ty tsr anny, if its bench of bishops, in a manner that makes a farce of t he Emanci p atio n Act. When it is a o f a vacant mit re , the public — partly langu id and hopeless b e li ef that " Cessar and from ciue Pompasetyi"are very much alike" - --receives the tongs E xe ter -hall with mee k ness. But it knows d . ir aegiree of at deal more of law than of theology, and is lc. We elected answer ? toconv i n ced that S er g eant Shee would do honour to t h e bench , liirs a R hy, ,t o h m e then , isat he hoi not e re ply is, " He this that we Ca n understand it should be no recom mendation ; but we cannot understand why it b e a disqualification, should Nobody would like to see the Cabinet searching for a Papist when an appointment is in the wind ; but everybody is indignant that the best man should be passed over on that score. Have we, or have we not, fina lly dane away with the old intolerance which taboos a man for his religion ? Is it, or is it not, a solemn principle of the constitution that his conscience is each man's own property, not to be interfered with directly or indirectly ? Yet here, after Emancipation Acts and Acts " for abolishing certain di sq ualifications" —after an epoch of legisla tion in the r ight and reasonable di rec ti on — a ft er a dmitting J ews to Parliament, and removing in every theoretical way the rusty fetters of religious persecution —here we are branding a distinguished man with neglect because of his faith. It is a piece of retrogression i n practice so startling, that we are co mpelled to protest against it. In these days the country expects that Ministers should take coun sel of the spirit of English liberty, and not of the leaders of the Protestant party. We main tain, in the interest of true Liberal principles, that when talent, e l o quence, and life-long probity have so signalised a ma n that his promotion has become rather a consequence than a favour, he should not be thrown ever because he worships in another liturgy than that of Exeter Hall. And further, 'eve tell the advisers to whom the Cabinet on this occasion has unhappily deferred, that they spoil their own game. If they desire to see Ireland Protestant let them not force her to pro test against the bigotry of reformers and the illibe rality of Liberals. The contrary policy is not only the honest policy but the best. Let them give scope to the spirit of modern legislation ; carry out fearlessly the principles of freedom and free religion ; declaiming against the intolerance of Popery, let them not stultify themselves by being as intolerant. Hero is a grievance stupidly given to Ireland, which she has the right, and will not want the inclination to use. The true policy of those who wish to see Ireland regenerated and con tent is to do her justice. It is not justice if, when we have passed bills to do away with "religious disabilities," we revive them against her worthiest children by slights of this kind. If the Evangelical party really wants to have its will of Erin, we will tell its chiefs how to go about it. Identify, amal gamate, blend the rights and interests of both com munities ; ignore the differences, and magnify and foster the common interests, of both portions of the united kingdoms; kill enmity with good will, and eradicate intolerance with toleration.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS ALL'S--MONDAY. Settling on the past week's racing at Newmarket was proceeded with from an early hour in the afternoon, and the attendance of members to meet their engagements as large. Money appeared to be abundant, and although a few com plaints were heard, still, upon the whole, the settlement of accounts was pronounced to be equal to the average of any great meeting. When it is also remembered that several were at Lincoln, the few accounts left standing over may be well accounted for. Betting on the Cambridgeshire was car ried on at intervals during the afternoon, but it was not until latish that anything like a real demonstration took place. Lirnosina, who was made such a hot 'un in the City in the morning, was in increased demand at Hyde Park corner, 100 to 30 having been taken to money, but at the close 4to 1 was demanded. Catch'em Alive was ; however, the shuttlecock of the day, for after he had receded to 10 to 1, taken and offered, he rallied a bit, and when it was dis covered that the hostility against the horse originated in a mere "shave," he was once again reinstated as second favourite at 6 to 1, offered ; but backers being still chary, they stood out for 8 to 1, at which they were accommodated towards the finish. Carnival had a host of friends at 100 to 8, and as the members were leaving the lawn 11 to 1 was booked to £5O. The attemptlto " bring" Summerside was a faiiure, 25 to 1 being taken and offered. 1000 to 30 was accepted three times about Borealis, and Jack of Hearts would have been supported at the same price. Birdhill and Roman Bee were friendless at offers of 40 to 1 each. Seve ral outsiders would have been backed, but the "long range" sought for was too much for the nerves of even the stoutest layers ; the longest price we saw booked was 2,000 to 15 twice about Myrtle. Forty " centuries" were accepted about Ackworth for the Derby.

Although the card was not of a very inviting character, fine weather, good fields, and excellent racing inaugurated the revival of the Autumn Meeting at Lincoln. There were five items of sport on the first day, which brought out 29 runners. The Carholme Stakes, for which five started, created considerable diversity of opinion as to which ani mal would be likely to produce the winner, and though 6 to 4 was at first taken about Lyra. she retrograded to 6 to 2 when the commissions for Blight and Fauconberg were executed. Sir George Strickland's mare, however, won the moment she was called upon. The whole of the four run ners contested the Selling Hurdle Race, which would have undoubtedly resulted in the defeat of the favourite had the rider of Cronstadt chosen to come away after clear ing the last hurdle. The Lincolnshire Autumn Handicap ended in the defeat of the two favourites, Bally Edmond and Atherton, by The Monk, who won his owner another respectable stake. The Blankney Selling Stakes intro duced five starters, the whole of the entries; and the win ner found a new owner in Mr W. Barber, who gave 105 guineas for him. The last race, the Rifle Volunteer Han dicap Hurdle Race, had eight runners, and produced an excellent race between Hetman and Margery, the first named having passed the judge a length in advance of Mr. Marsh's mare; but as an objection on the ground of foul riding was lodged against the winner, the result remains in abeyance until this day (Tuesday). The following are de tails of the running : The Carholme Stakes of 5 sous each, with 40 added, for 2-yr olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 61b; certain penalties and allowances. Six furlongs. Sir G.

Fauconberg made the running, followed by the Lambton colt, Ess Bouquet, Blight, and Lyra, in the order named, until arriving in the straight, where Lyra joined Faucon berg, and the two at the distance quitted their horses, and Lyra heading John Osborne's horse 'at the half distance came away and won easily by two lengths; Ess Bouquet a bad third, and the other two beaten off. The Selling Hurdle Race of 5 sovs each, with 40 added ; selling allowances. One mile and three-quarters. Mr C. Tilburn's Princess (late Holdersyke), 5 yrs 12st (W.Ducker) 1 Mr T.

They ran thus until arriv ing opposite the Stand on the far side of the course, where Cronstadt, who bungled at his fences, took up the running, having Annie Laurie in close attendance, Quarantine three lengths off, and Princess a dozen lengths in the rear. Pro ceeding along the lane side towards the turn into the straight, Quarantine joined Cronstadt, the two jumping the last hurdle together. Immediately upon getting into the straight Cronstadt had his opponent beaten, and without paying the slightest attention to the remainder the jockey allowed Princess to get up, and she getting the first run, won by half a length. A bad third. There was no advance upon the selling price of the winner. The Lincoln Autumn Handicap of 10 sovs . each, 5 ft, and only 3 if declared, with 100 added ; winners extra.

Going up the Windmill-bill Doncaster was in front, but upon rounding the turn Earl of Surrey took a olear lead of Doncaster, who preceded Bally Edmond three lengths, and at the brick-kilns Atherstone dropped into the rear, and Bally Edmond, in company with The Monk, passed Don caster. There was very little variation until they came i n to the straigh t, where Earl of Surrey was joined by Ballyl Edmon d and The Monk , the latt er of whom waited upon th e pair until reaching the distance, where he came away and won by four lengths ; a similar distance separated the second and third; and Doncaster was beaten by two lengths from the favourite.

S. —A warmly-clad middle•aged man, of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Arnold, from the Cot tage-road Station, Pimlico. Sn.arpe, solicitor, said he had been requested to at tend from the Russian Ambassador's. The defendant had used some very threatening language to his Excellency, and it suggested itself that, owing to some recent proceed inga taken under the Enlistment Act, he might have been prompted by others. Mr. Arnold—He is charged with being drunk, riotous, and using threatening language in the street.

N e w Orleans advices to Sept. 25, published in the New York Journal of the 4th inst., are as follows: On Tuesday morning last considerable excitement was caused iu this city by a report that the steamer Leviathan had been captured by a squad of rebels at South-west Pass, and that she had escaped to sea. A few hours later. and another report arrived that she had been recaptured by the United States steamer De Soto. Yesterday the Leviathan arrived at the wharf at this city. The Leviathan was lying at the Telegraph wharf at the mouth of the river, at South west Pass, near Pilot Town. About half-past 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning a party of rebels, 18 in number, sprung on board from a small boat, and, firing their revolvers, de manded the instant and unconditional surrender of the ves sel. No resistance whatever being made by the few un armed men on board the Leviathan the enemy put the cap tain and crew in irons, and made preparations to proceed at once to sea. About daylight the steamer left the side of the wharf. Two of the crew of the vessel were placed on shore, after promising that they would not mention the fact of her capture until she had had three hours' start, when they were at liberty to say all they pleased of the affair. As soon as these men were placed on shore they made all haste to the telegraph-office and informed the operator of what had taken place. In a few moments every person in the neighbourhood was at the wharf, and the Leviathan was seen by the dawn's early light' making off to sea. Half a dozen men ran to a 6 pounder howitzer stationed on the wharf and fired four shots at her, and as each shot fell short or passed her harmles s ly by the r e bels chered and waved a rebel flag, which they afterwards hoisted.

How COSTUMES ARE NATIONALISED. The Gazette des Etrangers says that the Annamite Am bassadors, struck with admiration of the actresses of the Paris theatres, have ordered of the costume makers speci mens of the principal female costumes worn in the fairy pieces at the opera and elsewhere. When asked what they intended to do with them, they said that they meant to adopt them as the ordinary attire of their wives and daughters. SLould they really carry their design into execution, future o travellers may be reminded of Europe by seeing h ine princesses of Peau d'Ane, Aladin, and the Pilules du ifot:ec appearing in the streets of the empire of Annam.
