The mail steamer Hipparchus, from Liverpool, has taken £21,000 for Brazil and the River Plate The steamer La Plata, at Liverpool, brought £2,000 with later dates from Bahia, when there was no alteration in produce or exchange. Letters from St. Petersburg allege that the bonds of another Russian railway will probably soon be offered in London and Berlin. The amount is equal to £1,716,000 sterling, with an absolute guarantee of the Russian Government of 5 per cent., and of 1-10th per cent. for a sinking fund. The following is from the Hon. Secretary of the Defence Association of the Cavour Canal Septen nial Bondholders The Committee of the Stock Exchange acceded tithe application of the Defence Associal of the Cavour Canal Septennial Bond holders for a postponement of the quotation of the Tobacco Loan. This significant act on the part of the Committee was adopted to give weight to their n egotiations with the Government for a satisfactory adjustment of their claims upon it. To those claims, as the bondholders are this day apprized by telegraph, the Government has actually assented. The decision of the Stock Exchange has therefore had its effect." The following telegram has been received from Gen. Abbott, the agent of the Delhi Railway, to the chairman : " Umballa, Nov. 17. " Viceroy formally opened line Meerut to Una balla on 14th with great éclat. Agent escorted Viceroy from Uinballa to Ghazceahud on 16th. All Is' ell." It appears that an application made to the Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls, by, the official liquidators of the late Birmingham Banking Com pany, for leave to pay the final divirlpnti of 2q. in th e pound, was granted. The amount realised fro m the last £lO call was £249,000, and, after payment of the dividend and the collection of the remaining assets, it is estimated that a conside rable amount will be returned to the contributo ries. Plans have been submitted to the City Corpora tion for connecting Billingsgate Market with the existing and projected railways around London. The proposals include an extension of the Metro politan District Bailway, along the foreshore of the river to Billingsgate, and from thence to Tower hill to join the Metropolitan (Eastern Extension). A. road along the new line of embankment from Adelaide-place to Billingsgate, and a continua tion of the low level sewer by the same route, instead of inland, as now proposed, form part of the plan ; and it is intended to apply to Parlia elent next session, the usual deposits being made this month. Yesterday Sir Charles Jackson and Major At'Leod Inues, the Commissioners appointed by the Government to inquire into the causes which led to t he gigantic failure of the Bank of Bombay, re sumed the inquiry at the India Office, Downing. street. The first witness called was a Mr. Fleming, 'who gave evidence as to a loan from the bank. Arr. Donald Robertson had held several appoint ments at the Bank of Bombay, being deputy secre tary and officiating secretary. It appeared that loans had been made on the security of one name. The result of the inquiry, which will last some days longer,when concluded will be reported to the Go vernment. The statement that the costs of the liquidation of the Bombay and Mediterranean Bank have arnouni ed to £10,400 is not correct. This sum (the total disbursement by the liquidators) includes £2,786 remuneration and compensation to lat.; officers of the bank in lieu of notice, &c , besides solicitors' lien, rates, taxes, interest on mortgage of Clement's-lane premises, and many other sums which cannot be designated as costs of the liquida tion. The New York Evening Post of the 9th instant denounce in unequivocal terms the managers of the Erie Railway Company, and states that their conduct " appears clearly to constitute a conspiracy to defraud." It compares their proceedings with t hose of certain previous operators by whom large u ndertakings have been ruined, and suggests an appeal to the criminal courts, while apart from any Points that could technically be established, it calls 11 1 30 n the public opinion for some adequate mani festation on the subject. tAccording to the latest advises, the share capital, which stood at $ 17 , 0 00,000 at the end of 1867, has been in ereased by su rr eptitious issues to $60,000,000, and the re seems to be no power on the part of the rowed investors to obtain information, or to inter :)(lse any real check to the process. Report alleges that none of these issues were for any requirements of the line, but that the whole were made simply to beat down prices in the face of other :spaculators, ''ho were buying for a rise, and also to obtain con trol of the property.

A MrSTEI:T.-A vale-faced young man, about 22 or 23 years of age, who is supposed to have escaped from a lunatic asylum, was brought before Mr. Sel'e charged with loitering about a public thoroughfare and not being able to give any account of himself. Rhiber, a police-constable, No 312 K, at the re quest of the magistrate, asked the prisoner his name and address in the German language. The prisoner made no answer. The question wns re peated several times with no better success. Mr. Selfe—Let me have what case there is against the prisoner. George Goldsmith, a police constable No. 492 K, said that at an early hour this morning he saw the prisoner sitting on a door step, and asked him why he was there, and if he had any house to go to. The prisoner muttered a few words in Ger man, and at the same time made a spring upon him with a clasp knife, and attempted to stab him. lie evaded the blow, and after a long struggle with the prisoner succeeded in taking him into custody. The interpreter translated the evidence, and the prisoner, who understood all he said, nodded assent, and signified that he understood all that was said to him, but he declined to say a word. Mr. Selfe—Tell him I must lock him up if he does not give some account of himself. The prisoner obstinately persisted in not speak ing a word, and after various attempts to compel him to open his mouth, Mr. Selfe remanded him until Friday. A LOAFER.—James Johnstone, an Irishman, who has lost his right arm, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being in Cabb-street, White chapel, this morning for the purpose of committing a felony. A German, well-dressed, and with large beard and moustache, said the prisoner came alongside of him this morning and asked him for some money, at the same time feeling if there was any money upon him. He had no pocket on his right side, and the prisoner kept alongside of him for some time. Ile called a police-constable and gave the prisoner into custody. A police-constable said the prisoner was a regu lar loafer, and had been hanging about Caple street and Ratcliff-highway for some time, and preying upon sailors and drunken persons. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was compelled to hang on to the left side of the prosecutor because he had only got one arm, the right one. It happened for tunately there was no pocket on the left side of the prosecutor and the prisoner could not get at the right hand pocket. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Major W. F. J. Rudd, 2d battalion of the Ist Royals, at Chatham, has been placed under orders to embark for India, to join the service companies of his regiment in Bombay. A telegram has been received announcing the departure of her Majesty's troopship Jumna from Bombay on the 16th inst. Tier troops will be brought from Alexandria to Portsmouth in the Serapis.

The accident to the Prince of Wales produced the most alarming rumours in the city of canards, but it turned out to he a very small fact. The Prince's horse was knocked down, and of course the rider went with it, but he sus tained the smallest amount of damage that could possibly result from such a fall. The accident did not hurt the hunter, and it decidedly benefited the game, for the stag got clear off. The next day the Prince was able to attend a grand battue, on which occasion eight guns managed to destroy some 2,000 head of game. Life at Compilgne must be hard work. What with the " sport " that can be found in this wholesale butchery, grand dinners, endless dancing, and the like, the autumn retreat of the French Court presents a toujours perdrix bill of fare which must soon become intolerable. It i: well that the guests are arranged in series, and that tilt Court existence of each series is brief, otherwise the tor ment of amusement would become a dire reality. The sojourn of their Royal Highnesses, therefore, presents very little of interest. I may mention that the Princess of Wales enjoyed the pleasure of dancing with General von Moltke, and that, next to the Prince of Wales, Marshal Bazaine is the most entha elastic dancer at Conapibgne ! The result of the legal proceedings against the lndj pendant du Centre is the event of the day. There is but this one great piece of news, and it is to be found every where. There can be no doubt that the Government have here received a most serious check, and have fallen into as awkward a dilemma as canwell.befall a Government which can always resort to arbitrary measures to escape from a difficult position. The Independant was cited, like the Paris journals, for its participation in the Baudin affair but though the accusation against it was precisely th , same as in the case of the journals which have been condemned, and though the Government put forth all its power to procure a conviction, the court, to the astonish ment of everybody, acquitted the incriminated paper, after two hours' deliberation. This one acquittal will in jure the Government more than all the numerous con demnations can benefit it. It is an unfortunate termina tion to an unfortunate affair. The contradictory policy of the Emperor's Ministry has not shewn to very great advantage throughout this affair; but this final issue, this. condemnation and acquittal of different journals for the same offence, is an unexpectedly unfavourable termination. Nor is this all. Full reports of the proceedings against, the various journals are to be published in the forM' of a pamphlet. Of course the interference of the law will be called in here, but this will only give the pamphlet a wider circulation and greater popularity. And truly the speeches of some of the counsel for the defence are not such as the Govern ment would like to see ifc attend broadcast throughout France. The Baudin subscription has produced £1,200. There is a vacancy in the Senate. Baron de Chassion is dead. Another man of mark has been placed upon the sick list. This is Serrano, who has been severely attacked by fever. His health, which has caused great anxiety through Spain, is now improving. There is talk of subscribing for a magnificent mauso leum for Rossini. Contributions will be chiefly sought amongst artistes of all grades—literary men and the like. It is not stated whether the Government will find in this subscription a fresh condemnation of the coup d'etat. The Lanterne is still eagerly sought after. The dis. covery,of numerous copies in some busts of the Emperor has greatly sharpened the vigilance of the police, who pry into every thing. They cut open some meat pies the other day in the expectation of finding Lanterncs, but were dis appointed. The unhappy owner of these edibles is not likely to get any redress. A law which forbade the carrying of firearms in Corsica was repealed last session. This alteration does not appear to haye produced any very reassuring effects. Assaults, cutting and wounding, and murder have greatly increased. Of twenty-nine charges to come before the assizes, thirteen are for murder, and two cases of manslaughter. An ingenious provincial has much occupied himself of sate with experiments on milk. He finds that the milk first drawn from the cow is much poorer than that which is obtained when the supply is well-nigh exhausted. Ile has demonstrated this great fact by filling several small cans with milk from one animal. That drawn last con• tained by far the richest cream and the greatest amount of it.

A largo and rapid increase in barometrical pressure has taken place on all coasts, except in the S. of France : the change has ex ceeded Olin. at several of our stations, and the motion during the night has been greatest on our E. coast. Readings are remarkably uniform, the greatest difference reported being only o'2in. Tempera ture is much lower everywhere : at Nairn the change has been lade, In these islands the winds yesterday were generally moderate Prot. the N.W. A heavy S.E. gale prevailed in the Gulf of Lyons, where still continues : at all other stations the winds are light and variabh The weather is fine in places, but cloudy in the south, with fog on the Channel coast. The gale ou the S. o France has been accom panied by heavy rain. THE AMERICAN FIVE-TIVENTY BONDS It has been stated that a majority of the members of the new Congress would be in favour of redeeming the Five-Twenty Bonds with irredeemable paper. A gentle man, who is intimately acquainted with the opinions of American politicians, and who is one of the largest contributors in the United States to the income tax, writes as follows :—" The allegation that the next Congress will contain a majority of members whc will be in favour of ' redeeming' the Five-Twent3 Bonds with irredeemable paper, is such arrant non sense, that it seems to me the story must have had itt origin among stockjobbers. At the time the letter was written, gold was steadily declining in New York. in token of the belief among business men that the Republicans would be successful in Penn sylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, as they were. I presume you have scrutinised the declared principles of the two parties, so as to know that the Republicans are not in favour of paying bonds in `greenbacks,' or of any policy which looks to a lessening of the public credit. My own opinion is that if the Democrats were successful they would not carry out the policy of paying bonds in greenbacks. They would manage toavoid it in some way. lam surprised that the London money market should be so imperfectly advised of the condition of things here." The chapter authorities of Chester will lay thu foundation stone of the restored Cathedral to morrow. The confidential clerk of Messrs. W. 11. Hornby and Co., Blackburn, states that the facts of the alleged abuses of the mill have been much distorted. "ft is true that some of the men refused to work if two Radicals were not:discharged. I refused to comply with the request, and ordered the engine to be stopped till eight o'clobk. Work was resumed after breakfast, and any person who did not return acted entirely voluntarily. There was not the slightest violence used, and the places of the very few per sons who did not return are still open to them. The most perfect freedom is given to our workpeoplo of whatever shade of politics. _ . Some surprise has been expressed that Lord Hastings' remains should have been interred at Keneal green, instead of in his ancestral vault at Denington but the choice of the former place was made, we believe, from the Marchioness's rooted aversion to ever seeing Doning ton again. As regards the disposition of the late Marquis's, property, we believe it is as follows :—Lady Hastings has a marriage settlement of £2,000 a year, charged on the Rowellm estate. All the remainder of the property, which includes the collieries (which are very slightly encumbered), the house in Grosvenor-square, Craven Lodge, the furniture, plate, books, pictures, horses, carriages, and farming stock are to be sold, and the proceeds to go to the Marchioness for her life, or unless she marries again, when they revert to his Lordship's sister Lady Constance Marsham, and to her children. The Mar chioness's jewellery is bequeathed to herself, and the wil Coll4ipri no legacies to any one. GENERAL ELECTION. POLLING THIS DAY. SOUTH-WEST LANCASHIRE.-9 o'CLoot.

A curious pension list has just been issued by a Parliamentary paper. The arbitrators appointed under the Crown Lands Act of 1866, Mr. W. M. James and Mr. Pickering, two of her Majesty's counsel, have awarded £496,000 as compensation to be paid to the land revenue of the Crown for the transfer of the Board of Trade,for the benefit of the public, of the Crown's rights in the foreshore of the sea and of navigable tidal rivers. This sum is to be paid partly by charging upon the Consolidated Fund some four or five hundred pensions and annui ties which are probably out of the landrevenue. Most of the pensions are very small. The majority of them were granted to churchmen by pension deeds of King Charles 11. The Archbishop of York has three pensions of £2 16s. Bd., £1 45., and £l2 12s. 21 The Dean and Chapter of York have also three—Xl 103., 16s. Bs., and £l4 17s. 81 ; and the Dean has one of £1 to himself. The choristers of York Cathedral have also £1 a year among them. The Bishop of Winchester has 103. for each triennial visitation. The grants to the Bishops of Carlisle, Chester, Durham, Lincoln, and 'Wor cester are larger ; and the Welsh bishops have small grants from £3 to £l5. Several deans and chapers are on the list—Sarum Chester, Gloucester, Lincoln, Oxford, Lichfield, Here ford—the last for only 18s. 4d. A host of vicars and curates have grants of pensions rang from less than £1 up to £lOO. The key-bearer of Hereford Cathedral has his grant of 16s. Bd. a year for ever. Masters of grammer-schools come in for their share of these grants, Oxford professors, the poor of various parishes, the owner of Cheshunt- park, one or two lords of manors; and, under a modern Act of Parliament, the Master of the Hawks has his £1,300 a year. Ireland gets but one of all the pen sions, and that is for a constable—the constable of the fort of Hillsborough.. The grants to Scotland are chiefly for University professors, but one or two ministers are on the list, the minister of Dun keld receiving the price of 43 bushels of meal and a like quantity of barley under a grant from King George Br. The gross amount of these pensions is £7,946 a year, or £7,210 net. They will materi ally lengthen the already long annual list of pen dons charged on the Consolidated Fund. FATAL FIGHT IN LIVERPOOL.—OH Saturday night two labouring men, named John Irvine and Wm. Graham, fought in Lark-lane, Liverpool. Graham in sisted on fighting, and in the struggle was knocked down, falling on his head. Soon afterwards he became insen sible, and died the following morning. Irvine is in cus tody. FIRE AT EXETER.—A destructive fire occurred on Sunday afternoon, at Exeter. The cavalry barracks in the city have for the last fortnight been occupied by a detachment of the 3d Buffs, which was sent down to as sist the civil authorities, if required, in maintaining order during the elections. About three o'clock in the after noon flames were observed issuing from the cook's quar ters in the centre of tho eastern block of buildings, where the greater portion of the soldiers were staying; and in less than two hours, despite all the exertions made by the military and other fire brigades, the whole range was completely gutted. Some stores and ammunition had to be abandoned, and about 50 rounds of ball cartridges ex ploded, but without injuring any one. IslE ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.—A recent traveller over the Central and Union Pacific Railroads gives an in teresting account of the condition of those important highways. It may be mentioned, however, first, that the journey from San Francisco to Omaha was accomplished by him in eight days, as follows :—From Green River, 815 miles west of Omaha, in 48 hours; from Salt Lake Cit! in four days; from Wadsworth, the terminus of the Central Pacific in six and a half days, and from San Fran cisco, in eight days, as above stated, and giving four and a half days of stage travel between Wadswort} and Green River. clad the traveller continued his jour ney to the eastward he would have traversed the distance from ocean to ocean in twelve days. The Central Pacific Railroad is graded within 250 miles of Salt Lake. The track is laid to Raese River, and the road, it is asserted, will be operated to that point 380 miles east of Sacra mento and 270 miles west of Salt Lake before winter. Ten thousand men are pushing the work with the greatest energy, and a dofioioncy in the supply of rails will alone interfere with the completion of tho road to Salt Lake City early iu the spring. Early in November stage connections will be made at the crossing of the Iturnbaldt-95 miles east of Wadsworth, the present ter minus. The company's work on the snow sheds through the Sierras and down the Truckee is nearly complete. The Union Pacific Railroad is graded through Weber and Echo canons, and very shortly the road bed will be com pleted to Bear River, 56 miles east of Salt Lake, and it is believed the rails will be laid as far as Bear River before severe winter weather sets in. Green River, 815 miles west of Omaha, is the present passenger terminus, and Bryan will, it is alleged, be the permanent terminus for the winter. The contractors are endeavouring to lay an average of five miles of track daily before the work i. 3 sae , pow:W.(9r the fi033011.---rl4sk Ledger. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This DIV.
