FURIOUS DRIVING.— Henry Fowle, a coachman in the employ of Mr. Bennett, a job-master of Sey mour-place, Portman-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and brougham in Regent street. Police-constable John Staines, 123 C, said that about three o'clock yesterday afternoon he was in Regent-street, where he saw the prisoner, who was driving a horse and brougham, turn very sharply out of Regent-street into Maddox-street, going at a furious rate, and a lady, who was crossing the street, was knocked down, and both wheels went over her body. On speaking to the prisoner, he found that he was drunk, and took him to the station. Police-constable James Spencer, 131. C, said that he took the lady to the Middlesex Hospital, where she was examined, and it was found that one of her ribs was broken, and that she had received other injuries. The lady was subse quently removed to her home, and on his (the con stable's) calling there that morning he found that she was obliged to keep her bed, and could not at tend the court. The prisoner said he had driven for his master for two years, and it was the first time he had met witp an accident. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. TIIMIES. STEALING TEA IN A WAREHOUSE.—Chas. Stone, aged 26 years, Edwin Ear, waker, 22, and George Donaldson, 24, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with breaking open several chests in a ware house belonging to the Great Northern Railway Company, in Royal Mint-street, better known as Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, and stealing about 301bs. of tea therefrom. The prisoners were in the employ of Mr. Cand ler, a licensed carman, who was engaged by the railway company to case up with canvas many chests of tea for shipment. Yesterday afternoon the attention of Mr. Joseph Cox, a clerk in the warehouse, was called to a coat belonging to Stone, which was discovered by Mr. Candler, jun., on a bale near some chests of tea. One pocket was filled Iwith tea, the other partially, and it was exactly similar in quality and colour to some tea in a chest which had been broken open, and which all the prrisoners had been engaged in casing. The prisoners were accused by Mr Candler, jun., and others with tampering with a chest of tea, and all denied knowing anything of the robbery. The chest from which 4lbs. of tea had been abstracted had been opened with a knife, and had not been injured by a fall. Mr. Candler, jun., had observed it to be perfect three-quarters of an hour before the tea was found in Stone's coat. The amount of tea taken from the chest and the amount of tea in the pockets corresponded. William Jones, errand boy to Mr. Candler, heard the chest being broken open. The prisoner and two others were at the spot when the chest was broken open. The prisoners—We know nothing of the robbery. Twenty more were at work in the warehouse at the time. _ _ Police-constable Chandler, No. 117 H, produced a bag containing 18Ibs. of tea, which was found in another part of the warehouse, and which had no doubt been stolen from another chest. The chest .from which the 181bs of tea was stolen had, no doubt, been carted, shipped, and sent away to its destination. Mr. Cox said that the deficiency in the other chest of tea which had been sent away would not be discovered before it was unpacked and re-opened. Other evidence affecting tha prisoners was given and Mr. Benson committed them for trial. The prisoners asked the magistrate to take bail for them. Mr. Benson—Yes, two sureties in £2O, and each of you in £4O for each prisoner will be taken. The police must inquire into the solvency of the bail. DR. BEDFORD AND THE CHESTER ELECTION.—In yesterday's Sun we noticed the fact that Dr. Bedford had been spoken of in " unparliamentary" terms by Professor Pepper. It should have been "complimentary" terms.

Mr. Reverdy Johnson has been vehemently attacked by a considerable portion of the American press for letting Mr. Roebuck off so easily for ouch, a gratuitous insult to his country. • Som4 journals which had shown a willingness to overlook Mr. Johnson's presence at the same table with a gentleman who had been so prominent among the sympathisers with the Southern Confederacy are unable to forgive the " expressions of kindness and friendship" which Mr. Roebuck says were subsequently made to him by the American Minister. The demand for Mr. Johnson's recall has been made in several quarters. The Pall Mall Gazette can hardly hope that all this will have much effect upon Mr. Roebuck, but it may possibly furnish food for reflection to his constituents. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES IN GLASGOW. The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Glasgow on Thursday. Their Royal Highnesses arrived in Edinburgh on Wednesday evening frcm Dunrobin, and on Thursday morning reached Glasgow. The special train by which their Royal Highnesses travelled left Edinburgh at eleven o'clock. The streets and the railway platform were thronged, and the crowds assembled loudly cheered the Prince and Prin cess. A correspondent writing from Glasgow says: " The object of this royal visit is, that the Prince of Wales may lay the foundation stone of the new university build ings at Gilmorehill. The royal party will be received at the station by the city and county authorities, and conducted to apartments specially fitted up for their reception. From the station their Royal Highnesses will be conducted by a route which will take them past the front of the old university to the City Hall, where an address is to be presented and the freedom of the city conferred on the Prince of Wales. Leaving the City Hall the Royal party will go in procession with the city, county, and university authorities, escorted by cavalry, to Gilmorehill. The route taken will be along Argyll street, the great central thoroughfare of Glasgow, and through the West End Park, a distance of fully a mile and a half. Arrived at Gilmorehill, the Prince and Princess will be conducted to apartments pre parts" for them, in one of which his Royal Highness will be invested with the degree of Doctor of Laws. The Prince will then proceed to lay the foundation-stone, in presence of nearly 20,000 spectators, accommodated in a vast octagonal amphitheatre. On leaving the college buildings, the procession will return through the park and thence by the line of Sauchiehall-street, to the residence of the Lord Provost, where their Royal Highnesses will take luncheon. The royal party are expected to return to Edinburgh in the evening, but a grand banquet is to be given by the city corporation to the univer sities and the more distinguished strangers present in the city. Along the whole line of procession, about five miles in extent, substantial barriers have been erected, and these will be kept by the local volunteers, who are expected to turn out in considerable force. Triumphal arches are erected at various points, and the houses and public buildings along the entire line display more or less of decoration. With favourable weather an imposing display is anticipated. With regard to the new col lege buildings, which are designed by Mr. G. G. Scott, of London, it may be mentioned that they are now advanced about half way towards completion. They are of a very handsome and substantial character, and will cost a large sum of money. The university authorities got £lOO,OOO for their old buildings and site, and £17,000 from another source to begin with. Then Government stepped iu with a subscription of £120,000, and £llO,OOO has been got by public subscription, leaving £30,000 or £40,000 still to be raised for the completion of the work. MR. W. E. FORSTER, M.P., AT BRADFORD. Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., and Mr. Miall addressed several thousands of electors of Bradford on Thursday night, in St. George's Hall. Mr. Forster defended at great length his coalition with Mr. Miall. He said: Mr. Miall is opposed to all Church Establishments. I have stated, and I repeat it again, that I am not opposed to the Established Church in England. If that had been the one question of the day, there would have been some ground for this objection, but everyone knows that it is not the question of the day. and I believe all of us who are Liberals think that the dis establishment of the Irish Church, instead of injuring, will assist the English Church. That is the question that we have to do with now, and as to Me_ Nr;..n, I don't know whether he thinks so or not, but I think so. By the hearty, earnest effort which he is now making for the dis establishment of the Irish Church he is really doing a favour to the English Church. Therefore, on the question of the day the English Church will be benefited by the action of Mr. Miall. And here, again, I cannot forget that these are questions of great importance which ought to be held up before the people of England, and though I do not agree with all the inferences that Mr. Miall draws from it, I agree from the bottom of my heart with the principle which he has so nobly advocated through good times and through bad times—of perfect religious equality—the true principles of religious free dom, and the true principles of British Protestantism; and I say that when we hear the Prime Minister of England, the man who is responsible for the government of England, coming forward now and saying that our only security for religious freedom and our only security for /Protestantism is the measure which Henry VIII. passed of the sovereign's supremacy, I think it is time that we should lose no opportunity of having the true, principles of religious freedom and the true principles of Protestantism proclaimed in the House of Commons." The hon. gentleman went on to say : " This Reform Bill which has been passed ends one chapter of English history, and another is beginning. It is for you to decide whether I shall strive to write any words in that chapter. I acknowledge that I do wish to continue a member of Parliament, and if a member at all I wish to be member for Bradford. Ido not think lam saying too much in stating that my desire to remain an active politician is because I wish to leave the world better than I found it, and to further the principles of truth and justice. I do wish to make our beloved country more peaceful and a greater country by making her more beneficent. I know that is a high standard, and there are temptations to deviate from it ; but I want you to judge me by it, and when I deviate from it to refuse me your support. There are several questions that have been before us in the past, and will be still more before us in the immediate future. There is the great question of how to remove the ignorance of the country ; of how, if possible, to help the Government to check intemperance ; to check pau perism, the completion of the great work of Reform, the development of the principles of self-government, the lightening of our taxation, and, if possible, that England should set an example to the other kingdoms of Europe of lessening that greatest evil of modern times— almost the greatest evil .that ever afflicted the human race—the standing armies of the Continent. There is also our duty to the subject races of India, and there is the great hope of the future civilisation of the world by our having a real and hearty friendship with our kinsmen across the Atlantic ; but over and above all these, there is justice to Ireland. All these are questions upon which I wish to have something more to do. If these questions are not of importance to you, then I know no reason why I should ask for your votes or expect them ; but if these questions are, as I believe they are, of deep and vital interest to you, if they are of as deep interest to you as to myself, deeper than any local topics or personal figures, then I claim with confidence a renewal of your suuuort." Mr. Goidwin Smith, in reply to an invitation to lecture in Carlisle, states that his passage to America is taken for the 27th inst., and that he has now more upon his hands than he can well get through. rHE NEW ROUTE BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND LONDON.—The deviation line from Ditton, in Lancs. shire, to Dutton, in Cheshire, on the London and North-Western system, is approaching completion. It is seven-and-a-half miles long, and has been in course of construction since 1863. In this length is in cluded the enormous iron girder bridge across the Mersey at Runcorn, which has been erected on a principle which was first adopted in America. In point of size the Mersey bridge is the largest of the kind ever built. It consists of three spans of 305 feet each, besides four arches which rise out of the bed of the river, on the I al cashire side. The bottom of the bridge is 75ft. above high water mark, and in order to attain this elevation, which was necessary to keep unimpeded the navigation of the river, viaducts have had to be erected on both sides, rnl in these are no less than ninety-four arches. The whole line has cost £250,000. Messrs. Cochrane, Grove, and Co., of Dudley, are the sub-contractors for the bridge under Messrs. Brassey and Ogilvie, who have accepted the con tract for the whole line. The line will be officially inspected by the Government officer in a few days, and will, it is expected, be opened for traffic early in December. It will sa-e between nine and ten miles in the journey between Liverpool and London, which it is intended to accomplish in a little over four hours. The engines will take up water at Rugby while in motion, as is now the case with the Irish mail. The carriages for the service will be built somewhat upon the American principle, with a'iissage up the pntre p " toil bo Eplicji4 with ustjgag jaiskitatrautic EX7RAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST THREE MERCHANTS. This morning Mr. Richard Stuart Lane, the Con servative candidate for the representation of Ply mouth, Mr. Frederick J. Helbert Helbert, and Mr. Horace Edward Chapman, again appeared before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, to answer a summons taken out against them, charging them that they did, in the month of November, 1865, within the said City of London, publish a circular announcing the formation of the "Merchant Com pany, Limited," which circular contained false statements in order to induce Benjamin Henry Moore, of Moorgate-street Chambers, and others, to take shares in the said company: Mr. Lewis said on the last occasion the summons had been adjourned at the request of Sergeant Bal lantine, who then appeared for Mr. Lane, in order that a full examination might be made of the ac counts in order to see whether they justified the issu ing of the prospectus. The accounts had been thoroughly gone through by an accountant of the greatest ability, a copy of whose report had been sent to him. These accounts showed not only that the statements in the prospectus could not be con tradicted, but that they were true; an 1 under these circumstances the gentleman who instituted the proceedings wished to withdraw the summons, and also to withdraw any imputation of fraud against all the defendants. ➢lr. Vallance, for Mr. Lane, said he attended to give, on the part of his client, the most conclusive and complete answer to the charge, but after the frank manner in which Mr. Lewis had withdrawn the charge against the defendant of dishonest motive:he need make no further remark. Mr. Metcalfe made some similar remarks on the part of Mr. Chapman and Mr. llelbert. The Lord Mayor said a statement of an important nature was made some weeks ago before him, and after mature deliberation he felt it his duty to grant the summons. Repeated adjournments had taken place, and to-day he was astonished to hear that the accounts had been found to be satisfactory, and the charge was to be withdrawn ; but he was not so satisfied, and he should require the informations made before him to be read. Mr. Metcalfe hoped his lordship would refrain from having the statements read ; it could do no good, as the summons was withdrawn. Mr. Oke, the chief clerk, then read the informa tion of Mr. Robert Henry Moore, of Moorgate street chambers, which was to the effect that the defendants, in November, 1865, issued the prospectus of the Merchants' Company (Li mited), which was to be founded on the purchase of the business of Lane, Hankey, and Co., carried on by the three defendants, which was represented to be in a flourishing condition, whereas it was hopelessly insolvent. The statement went on to show that, believing the prospectus, the deponent took 500 shares in the said company, and others were induced to do the same, but the whole affair collapsed within twelve months, and great loss was the consequence. The statement made by Mr. Robert Allen Bar low was also read, which stated that at the time £62,000 was paid for the business of Lane, Hankey, and Co. it was altogether insolvent, and had been so for some time. The Lord Mayor asked Mr. Moore if he had re ceived any money on consideration for the with drawal of the summons. Mr. Lewis said his client bad instituted a civil action, but that had been arranged. The Lord Mayor—Have you, Mr. Moore, re ceived back the money you deposited in the Mer chants' Company ? Mr. Moore—l have not received any money. The Lord Mayor—That may be, but have you had any promise made and fulfilled ? Mr. Moore said he had left the matter entirely in the bands of his solicitor. Mr. Lewis informed his lordship that Mr. Moore had been recouped the loss he sought to recover by the civil action. Mr. Valiance said the accounts that Mr. Young bad examined, so far from showing that the firm of Lome, Ilankey, and Co. was insolvent, showed that the average profit on commission alone each year during the six years prior to the transfer was £116,000. The Lord Mayor—And all that was knocked to pieces in twelve months? Mr. Valiance said it was owing to the panic, when many good houses went to wreck. The Lord Mayor—Well, the case is ended. The persons crowding the justice-root then withdrew. MARKE7 S-2 lIIS DAY. ORDINARY /MARRS AND STOCKS. Share Railways. rod. Clotting Amines!

At Mark-lane, to-day, there was only a moderate at tendance, and a quiet tone prevailed. English wheat was in small supply, and met a slow sale at the rates of Monday last. Foreign, of which there was a very fair show,was easier to-day, except particular lots of fine old, for which ful terms are required. Barley is firmly held, and the tendency is against buyers. These remarks apply to both malting and grind ing qualities. Beans and Peas are quite firm. Malt in moderate request and unaltered in value. Oats in fair supply, but demand good and rates firm for all kinds, Russian bringing 3d per quarter advance on Monday's rates. Linseed is steady, at 62s on the spot. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. The dead meat markets were largely supplied with country killed meat, and buyers had the advantage occa sionally in prices, although goneral quotations could hardly be lowered. We quote :—Beef, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; mutton, 3s to 4s ; veal, 48 to 4s 10d ; pork, 4s to 4s 8d per stone of 81bs by the carcase. POTATOES. Supplies are plentiful but very indifferent in quality. The foreign imports come all more or less blighted. Trade is dull. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, October 9.—Sales probably 8,000 bales. Market quiet and unchanged. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

AGRICULTURAL HALL.--On Wednesday Mr. Sims Reeves made his second appearance to an audience as crowded as it was on Monday. His contributions to the programme were two. In " The Last Rose of Summer," his first song, he repeated two verses. In the second part, after singing the "Death of Nelson," in his most effective dramatic and declamatory style, he had left the orchestra, but being recognised as he crossed the hall to retire, be was saluted with a burst of applause which com pelled him to return to the platform, and he gave his favourite ballad "My pretty Jane." Mdllo. Liebhart's two Bongs were, first, Allen's ballad "Little Bird so Sweetly Singing," with flute obligato (Mr. R idcliffe), and secondly, Guglielmo's now ballad, " Destiny." Mille. Scalchi sang a cavatina, from Mercadante, and the popular Brindisi "IL segreto." Mr. Levy obtained his accustomed eiteDrE ; and there was a selection from "Faust," in addi tion to that from the "Grand Duchess." THE SPANISH LEGION.—The passing events in Spain have led certain of the pensioners of the Spanish Legion to inquire whether their pension will be stopped, and the answer they have received is that, in the absence of any instructions to the contrary, the money will be paid with the same regularity as heretofore. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26, Captain his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.T., having been completely repaired, was ap pointed to be removed yesterday (Thursday) from No. 3 dock in Keyham-Steam-yard into the Arena in Liamottze. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in- Chief of the Forces, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morn ing, accompanied by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hope Grant, Quartermaster-General, Colonel Gambier, C. 8., Deputy Adjt.-General of Artillery, Col. Jervoise, C. 8., Royal Engineers, and Col. Johnson, A.D.C. They were received at the station by Lieut.-Gen. Sir A. Spencer, K.C.8., Capt. Marter, A.D.C., and Brigade-Major Colley. His Royal Highness was conveyed in the General's carriage to the official residence, Mount Wise. If the weather was fine all the troops in Plymouth garrison were to be re viewed at noon near the 17th mile-stone on Ito borough Down. The h df -yearly inspectiJns at Aldershot are still being c.^.rried on actively and with the most satis faetpry results. _ _ _ An order has bee: recAved at Chatham from the Horse Gu trds directing voluateering to be opened among the troops at that garrison for the Army Reserve Force, ordered to be raised under the Act of list s.:!ssion. The corps in' it3d to supply men are the Ist and 2d battalions of the Ist Royals ; 109.11 Bombay Infantry, Ist battalion of the 2d Royats, 82.1 R: , g;ment, 106t!t Bo.nbay Light In fantry, Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment, 2d bat talion of the 10th Regiment, Fit battalion of the 1401 Regiment, and the 45th Regiment. The order announces that the Reserve Force will cvnsi,t of two classes, to be formed from men who have served or are serving in the army, the one class liable to general service with the regular army, and the other liable to service in the United Kingdom only. The troops eligible for the first class are soldiers who have completed their first term of service, and although unwilling to re-engage in the regular army, aro, nevertheless, willing to join the Reserve; men not exceeding 34 years of age, who have been discharged from the army, by purchase, or other wise, except for misconduct, after service of not less than three years ; soldiers serving at home, who have completed two-thirds of their first term of limited engagement, with not less than five years of that period abroad, and have not re-engaged, whether enlisted under the Army Service Act of 1847 or the Army Enlistment Act of 1867. The troops eligible for the Army Reserve, Class 2, are soldiers who, immediately on the completion of their first term of service, are unwilling to re engage in the regular army, or to enter the first Reserve ; men who have served in any of her Ma jesty's regular forces for not less than the full period of the first term of enlistment, and men who have completed a term of service in the First-class Reserve, and are unwilling to re-engage therein. The bounty for the first class is £3, and for the second class £2 per annum, payable quarterly. Capt. R. L. Dashwood, Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment, at Chatham, has been granted leave of absence from his corps until required for embarka tion to join the service companies of his regiment in New Brunswick. The officers of the Royal Artillery Theatrical Club gave an entertainment last evening, to a crowded audience, in their recreation-rooms at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich. A preliminary trial has been made in Chatham harbour of the machinery of her Majesty's ironclad ship Hercules, 14, 5,234 tons, 1,200-horse power, Capt. Lord R. J. Gilford, far the purpose of testing the working of the ship's engines, at her moorings, preparatory to the official trial of speed at the mea sured mile. The machinery is the most powerful given to any of the ironclad ships constructed by Mr. Reed, C. 8., the engines having been manufac tured by Messrs. John Penn and Sons, who have introduced in their construction the very latest im provements. The machinery consists of a pair of trunk engines of, nominally, 1,200-horse power, and is capable of exerting an indicating power of 7,200-horse. This is obtained by the capacity of the cylinders being considerably larger than has been usually allowed by Messrs. Penn for engines of similar power, ample heating surface being at the same time provided for in the boilers. The engines are thus enabled to work up to at least six times the nominal power when the steam is being cut off at one-third of the stroke, with a pressure of 301 b. to the square inch in the boilers. The cylin ders have each a diameter of 10ft. 7in., with a dia meter of the trunk engines of 3ft. 1 lin., giving an effective diameter of 9ft. 10in. The entire weight of engines, machinery, boilers, water, and spare gear is rather under 1,100 tons. As the Hercules has only room in her bunkers for little over 6UO tons of coals, or barely enough fn. three days' fall steaming when the engines indicate 7,000-horse power, the Hercules will depend to a groat extent on her sails, and will spread a great expanse of can vas, and for this purpose she is full rigged. Owing to the length of time she has been lying in Chatham harbour her bottom has become very foul, which will necessitate her being docked before she can be taken on her official trial of speed at the measured mile. The official testing of the boilers, pipes, and engines by means of hydraulic power was very satis factory, the pressure applied being 601 b. to the square inch. The Hercules is now only waiting the arrival of the remainder of her 18-ton 450-pounder guns to be ready to leave Chatham. ARREST of GO LLER THE PRIZE FIGHTER. 7MS DAY. To-day Inspector Silvetton, of the C division, and Sergt. Palmer, who have tendered themselves conspicuous by their activity and tact in prevent ing during the last few months the prize fights for the championship and other but smaller honours, succeeded in arresting Goller, the man matched to fight Rooke for £5O. On being placed before 11r. Vaughan at the Bow-street Police-court, the prisoner gave his name Thomas Goller. Inspector Silverton said that himself and Ser geant Palmer had, since the arrest of Rooke, been on the look-out for Goller, and that day they suc ceeded in taking him into custody in Totten ham-court-road. He (the prisoner) bad been matched to fight Rooke for a stake of fifty pounds, but the fight had been prevented, although the utmost endeavours by the friends of the two men had been made to keep " the engage ment" secret. On being asked what he had to say, the prisoner admitted he was the man spoken of by the in spector, that he was previous to Rooke's arrest about to fight him for £5O, and that his name was Thomas Goller. Mr. Vaughan said as Rooke had been admitted to bail, he should adopt the same course with re spect to the man now in court. lle should require the same amount of bail, viz., two sureties of £3O, with prisoner in his own recognizances of £5O. Sergeant Palmer informed the magistrate that there was a person in court who was willing to be come bail for the prisoner for the amount required. Inspector Silverton said in the present case the person offering himself as bail was a man of known respectability, therefore as the day for the fight had passed, he could not ask for the usual 24 hours' notice. The recoguisances having been completed, the prisoner was liberated. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—This Evening.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATlL—Yesterday day afternoon a gentleman was driving h is g i g along the Ilammersmith-new-road, and when nearly opposite, the Wheatsbeaf Tavern, he was suddenly seize d with a faint ing fit, and thereby rendered totally unable to control the hors., who was trotting along at a r apid pace. Fortu - n a tely Mr. Bullock, the pro etorpri of the Wheat sheaf, observed the reins suddenly fall from the gentleman's hands, and ho immediately ran to the horse's head and succeede in stopping the animal. Aft e r some time the ge ntlemen, d to some extent, recovered and E tited his name was Captain, and that he resided at Starch green, whither he was proceeding when insensibi lity overtook him. He was soon seen home by the police, and medical assistance at once procured. It was most fortunate for the gentleman that Mr. Bullock saw the occurrence, and acted with such promptness, otherwise he would undoubtedly have fallen from the vehicle and been killed. A 60-horse power double horizontal steam fire engine has arrived at Pembroke Dock from the makers, Shand and Mason, London. This power ful engine is intended to be a supplement to the hand engines already in the dockyard, but which would to a great extent be powerless against a heavy Are. I
