At the Bank of England yesterday there was a Withdrawal of 160,000 in gold for shipment to India —making £120,000 taken out since the date of the last Gazette return. The Pereire has arrived at Brest with £88,600 from New York ; and the Louisiane has arrived at St. Nazaire from Mexico With c 9 ,0 2'o • The will of the late Mr. Robert Oliverson, un derwriter and insurance broker, and member of Lloyd's since 1817, was proved at Doctors'-coni 'nous, and his personal property was sworn to be under £300,000. A cable telegram says that the Commercial Bank Of St. John's, New Brunswick, has suspended payment. Aa order was made by Vice-Chancellor Malins Yesterday discharging the receivers of the Great Eastern Railway, and the concern is therefore now out of Chancery. This is a satisfactory ter nlination of what might have been a protracted Suit. At the meeting yesterday of holders of Ecuador 13 onds, convened to receive the report of the Com mission of Agency relative to the' payment , of the dividend due on the Ist May, 1867, it was stAt6d that the import duties showed a surplus in excess of 10s. per coupon, and it was agreed to defer the dis tribution of the funds m hand till a further amount had been received. The meeting of foreign bondholders at the Lon don Tavern yesterday was largely attended. A series of resolutions, having for their object the formation of a central council of bondholders, which would act as the representative of the whole body in all cases in which their interests were in volved, were adopted unanimously. It was appa rent on the part of the gentlemen present that the Schem e which they embodied would prove to be of c onsiderable practical value. The creditors of the National Provincial Marine Insurance Company (Limited) will receive a second dividend of 4s. in the pound at the offices of the li quidator, Mr. Robert Fletcher, on or after the 19 th inst. A communication inserted regarding the Vene zuelean debt from Mr. F. H. Hemming was errone °llBlY stated to be from the Venezuelan Consul. A memorial to the Committee of the Stock Ex change has been presented by the Sardinian Rail- W ay Company requesting them not to grant a Bottling day for the Italian Tobacco Loan. They char g e the Italian Government with having broken faith with them and rendered their property value aeas) and on this ground urge the committee " to ezereise the wholesome power they possess of corn 13'Iling foreign Governments to be honest who are 'eYond the reach of legal tribunals." Tne folly of the Italian Government in these matters seems to on nearly as great as that of Portugal, and because b orrowing have not yet utterly destroyed their power of uorrowing they delude themselves into the belief that dishonesty may be profitable. The fact that Where they are now obliged to pay 10 or 15 per cent, they might, under better circumstances, hav e to Pay only 5 or 6 never seems to enter into their calculation, and in the same way they fail to take l ilt° account the ruinous indirect consequences, moral and material, from the loss of financial Prestige. As regards the Italian Tobacco Loan, Whatever may be the decision of the Stock Exchange committee, it must be satisfactory to the holders to know that, unlike the ordinary Malian securities, it is protected by a tangible pledge in the hands of their representatives, which will prevent the pay nient of the dividends from being in any way de- Pendent on Government precision.

Of beasts 1,810 were oa sale, and they were very dull of sale, the middling quali ties of beef being in many cases cheaper, pima remaining as before. Of sheep there were 6,350. The trade was very sluggish, and coarse heavy qualities saleable only on easier terms. 109 calves were on sale, and met a stow sale at reduced prices. 50 pigs at market, demand steady, rates firm. The proportion of foreign stock was 820 beasts and 36 calves.

On the motion to commit the defendants in this cause, who are the proprietors of the Sheffield Inde pendent, before the Maiter of the Rolls to-day for publishing certain matters connected with a suit now pending, in which Mr. Roebuck is one of the parties, his lordship, instead of granting the motion, ordered that the defendants should thrice publish au apology. At the same time be advised the de fendant to appeal to the Lords Justices. Her Majesty the Queen of Holland, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia, and suite visited the Temple Gardens to-day, and viewed Mr. Brcome's splendid collection of chrysanthemums, which are now in the height of beauty. POLICE REFORM.—There must be something radically wrong about the management of the metropo litan police force. On the one hand, an association is In course of formation for the purpose of preventing the men from dcing what they ought not to do, by taking steps to protect the dogs now so unceremoniously pounced upon in all directions ; and on the other, the inhabitants of one suburban district have made up their minds to band themselves together, as a sort of vigi lance committee, to supplement the protection which they pay for, but do not get, from Sir Richard Mayne's subordinates. The Lambeth Vestry has taken the matter under special consideration, upon the suggestion of Mr. Robert Taylor, jun., and it is likely that a vigorous protest against the continuance of the present state of things will be speedily launched from that quarter. If other local bodies would only go and do likewise, it is possible that in course of time a change may be brought about. It has been needed long enough, and though the British ratepayer is, on the whole, a very patient animal, there are limits to his power of endurance.— City Press. AN OLD CHASUBLE.—There is something touch ing in the following anecdote apart from its historical in terest. An aged ecclesiastic presented himself at the cathedral in Avignon, and inquired if they still had an old black chasuble which he described with great minuteness. The official answered in the affirmative, and, after some hesitation, he allowed his questioner to take it in his hands and examine it. The examination was not of long duration; he pressed it to his lips with reverence. Curious to learn what associations there were connected with the old, worn, chasuble to kiudle so much emotion, the man in charge asked the venerable old priest what he know concerning it ; where upon the priest said it had once belonged to him, and was made from the last robe worn by Marie Antoinette. He supported his assertion with so many proofs that the authorities of the cathedral were convinced, and the old chasuble, we are told, is now carefully put away along with the other treasures.—Once a Week. MISSING SHIPS.—The Spirit of the Sea sailed from Sydney for Hongkong on the sth of March ; the &line, from Galatz, sailed from Falmouth for Dingle on the 2d of October ; and the Isabella Dobson, from Alex andria; sailed from Queenstown for Glasgow on the 29th of September, and have not since been heard of. In consequence of the great increaze in the num ber of voters-under the provisions of the Represen tation of the People's Act of last Session, on the day of polling a holiday will be allowed all voters in the Naval and Victualling Establishments and Naval Hospitals to enable them to record their votes, for which holiday no deduction will be made from their pay.

Mr. John Stuart Mill addressed a gieat meeting in support of the joint candidature of Mr. James White and Professor Fawcett, on Tuesday evening, at the Brighton Corn Exchange. Referring to the difficulties which Professor Fawcett had overcome in the House of Commons, Mr. Mill said that many a young man enters that House with all good intention, but, when there, comes under the influence of that atmosphere which, stifling to the moral feeling as an atmosphere is stifling to the physical senses, takes all the fealty out of a man. He comes among a number of persons of Lord Palmerston's school of Liberalism, who have no particular intentions. What little intention they do have is good, but the only thing that affrights them is whether people should do it. Whenever anything is proposed they are always afraid that it will make mischief, or disturb the party, or prevent things from going on smoothly, or make somebody or other vote against them, or perhaps make the Liberals go out, or perhaps prevent them from coming in. Mr. Fawcett had been as much exposed to their influence as anybody else. He (Mr. Mill) knew there had been people going round Mr. Fawcett, and saying " For God's sake don't do this ;" or " For heaven's sake don't do that. You will offend this man and that, and you won't do any good." There never is any good to be done, in the •opinion of those men. Mr. Fawcett had been assailed in that way; but he just told them in all boldness that he thought it right, and therefore must do it. That would not be a safe course to take if a man was wrong-headed or obstinate ; but he (Mr. Mill) had watched Mr. Fawcett from his first entrance into Parliament (which exactly coincided with his own)—he had watched Mr. Fawcett with the deep interest inspired by a knowledge of him, and with the ,great hope he entertained of him ; he had watched Mr. Fawcett with the anxiety he felt for a young man in his position ; and be had deliberately formed the opinion that Mr. Fawcett's parliamentary conduct had been as much distinguished by judgment as by courage. When Mr. Fawcett speaks it is always on something he has studied and which he understands'; and when he does, what he has done oftener than any man of his stand ing in Parliament—when he has come forward and taken up a question for himself, he has not only done so as well as, but better than most other people. He touched upon three instances—the reform of the universities ; the cost of elections ; and thirdly, the subject on which Mr. Fawcett had distinguished himself as much as any member of Par liament, and that he had made his own during the greater part of his parliamentary life, the condition, the lament able, deplorable condition—a condition which cries out to the whole people of England for remedy—the condition of the agricultural labourer. THE MARQUIS OF RARTINOTON ON THE PRESENT ADMINSTRATION. The Marquis of Ffartington, the Liberal candidate for North Lancashire, addressed a meetin g at Blackpool onWed =gay afternoon, composed of his friends and supporters, including many ladies. Alluding to Mr. Bright's speech at Birmingham, his lordship said that although Mr. Bright had of late years shewn far more than at any former period of his great career the qualities of a statesman, he could not agree with everything in the speeches he had lately delivered. Mr. Bright in one of his speeches made an eloquent attack upon the Conservatives. He did not think, looking back to the past history of our country, he could agree with him wl) en he said that the great Conservative partyhad always been in the wrong. He believed a Conservative party to be a necessity to the country. There always would be a large proportion of the community who, either from motives of interest or timidity, would be averse to change, and would always possess a great and salutary influence in the State by checking, as they probably had in the past, too rapid changes. He had no hesitation in admit ting that in past times the Conservative party had been led by men who at particular periods were, without doubt or question, men fitted to command and lead the Government of this country. He thought no man would deny that such men as the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel were, at the time when they flourished, men most fitted by talent and ability and their position in the country to conduct the Government. But turn ing from the past to the present, he asked whether we could recognise in the Conservative party under their present leaders either the traditional policy or the advan tages which had been conferred upon the State by that party. It seemed to him that the Conservative party were not now merely engaged in endeavouring to check rapid change, but that they had taken up the position of a faction who were anxious only for power, and who were using their influence in acquiring it to appeal to the fears and prejudices of a large portion of the people. They had followed and adopted the policy of their opponents, and had caricatured it by going beyond it, and by outbidding their opponents on almost every question. Though he could not agree with Mr. Bright in the sweeping condemnation he had passed, not only on the present but on the past of the Conservative party, he could agree with him so far as to say that in his opinion it was not for the benefit or the real interests of this great country that the present leaders of that party should hold office. lie had been told that the great administrative talents this party had shewn while in office entitled them to the confi dence of the country. Though he (Lord Hartington) was not desirous of detracting from the credit which the Government might have obtained by their administrative performances—and he was quite as willing as any Conser vative could be to give full credit to Lord Stanley for the manner in which he bad conducted foreign affairs—he thought that even the excellence and merits of Lord Stanley might be exaggerated. He would ask whether that formed ground enough to justify the moving a vote of confidence in the Tory Government. Let them recollect Lord Stanley had done little more than carry into effect the principles which had-always been advocated by Liberal statesmen and the Liberal party. MOving from the adminis tration of foreign affairs to other departments, they were told that in all of them great improvements had occurred since the advent of the Conservative party to power; but, whatever might have been the improvements, the country ')ad to pay pretty heavily for them in the shape of a bill 'or three millions of money. His lordship expressed his approval of the consolidation of the different departments of the War Office. Mr. Disraeli in his address said : " To secure efficiency you must be vigilant in administrative improvement. Influenced by these views, her Majesty's Government, by placing in the hands of a single individual a control over the expenditure of the War Office, commenced a considerable reform during the last session." His lordship wished to call attention to the fact that previously the Treasury, of which Mr. Disraeli was the head, had insisted that the financial control should not be placed in the hands of any officer, but where it always had been, in the Financial Department. Yet, the Prime Minister now told them that to the bands of this new officer the control of the whole financial expenditure of the army was committed. He had no hesitation in saying that there had been either a most gross breach of faith in the House of Commons in this matter, or else, and what he hoped was more probable, the Prime Minister really knew nothing whatever upon the subject, and knew nothing of the letter written at the office of which he was nominally the head, and that he was entirely ignorant of the scope and intention of the proposed change. Gounod is writing a fourth act to his opera. " Faust," believing be can produce a second success of that opera. A HINT TO GAME PRESERVERS.--Earl Cowper, the lord-lieutenant of Bedfordshire, has this week shot his Harrold Woods, and invited the tenants on the estate to shoot with him. ALLEGED BRIBERY AT YOUGIIAL.—A writ of sum mons at the suit of Maurice Kenirey, of Youghal, has been issued on Mr. John Mariga, Youghal, for offering to William Sargint, an elector of that borough, a cheque for a certain sum of money, payable to the order of Mr. Christopher Weguelin, one of the candidates for the borough, with the purpose of inducing the said William Sargint to vote for Mr. Weguelin. The action is brought to recover the sum of £lOO, the penalty inflicted in such cases by the Corrupt Practices Act of 1854.—Cork Examiner. Sir Richard Mayne's edict on the subject of children's hoops has attracted general attention, and the authorities at Scotland-yard have been freely quizzed for their interference. But an inquest held on Wednesday tells us how a poor old woman, 70 years of age, was knocked down by a hoop and killed. The police will now very probably have the laugh on their side, though it is a, question whether a rough passenger passing by the old woman would not have done as much harm as the hoop.-- Morning Summary. ESCAPE FROM A PRISON. —The .Bur•y Post gives the particulars of the escape from Yarmouth Gaol of a notorious delinquent named John Coleby. His escape appears to have been effected by mounting an iron parti tion dividing one of the 'corridors, and having procured a foot-hold by attaching a pice of rope to some bars at the toe, he cut a hole through the ceiling, and drew himself through into a water-closet adjoining the grand jury-room, whence he easily dropped into the adjoining row by means of a length of rope secured to the window. It was subsequently ascertained by the police that be made his appearance about ten o'clock that night at the Norwich Arms public-house, which is about half a mile from the gaol, and as he could not have commenced opm tions till after nine, when the gaoler made his r0.u.1 , 1F. his ocape roust have tAcu 14u lc p than au hour, SHARE LIST. tWINAfiI SkLA.J.Nz.:AND STOCIac.. 6&lll.ittyb, Pau" Uiosiug fSunlur fa- ' Price. dertte. t 8,13t0l and Exeter ...... 100 76 78 st Caledonian tvo 72} 721 73 s inorlan 2) Cornwall . .... •- , 11 ZI Dublin & Belfast J 100 77 ;9 at 1/an„ Perth. & Ab.Junc... iOO 70 72 2 • East Lention .. all 7 9 20 ifto 15 - 2) Do 10 - -- -1 Glasgow AS.

LORD GROSVENOR AT CHESTER. In the course of a speech at Chester, Lord Grosvenor said he might mention that several friends of his who had acted with him bad been offered high office when Lord Derby's Government came in, and every one of those gentlemen refused to take office under Lord Derby. He might also mention that just about that time, before Mr. Hodgkinson's amendment was brought forward, Lord Derby honoured him (Earl Grosvenor) with an invitation to accept the vacant Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster. His reasons for refusing it were, first, that he did not wish to leave the party,with whom he bad always previously acted; and, secondly, that he thought the Conservative Reform Bill was so objec tionable that it was impossible for him to take office under Lord Derby. He gave the Conservatives every possible credit, and he thought they were entitled to it, for having passed a Reform Bill ; but he could not understand how they could have the face to come before the country and claim credit for having passed the provisions of that bill. Everyone of those provisions was pressed upon them by the Liberal party, the only rag left of their Reform Bill being the ratepaying clause, which was perhaps the only portion of the bill that required amendment or repeal. He beard it said the other day, and it might be very charitable to suppose, that the Conservatives who put forward those claims tad been so often turned round that they had become dizzy. He denounced the injustice of the Irish Church Establishment. Upon the game laws he said he did not know why a landlord should not be allowed to have pheasants and partridges and hares if he pleased, as well as chickens and turkeys in a farmyard. The law might provide that compensation should be given tg tenants where there was a large amount of game. He believed if game were to be abolished it would he a great loss, not only to the owners of property, but to the public generally, who liked to have their hares and pheasants at Christmas. In conclusion the noble earl expressed himself opposed to the ballot, and an advocate for courts of conciliation between workmen and their employers, and for greater facilities being given for the acquiring of land in this country. MR. BAILLIE COCHRANE. Mr. Badllie Cochrane, who is contesting the Isle of Wight against Sir John Simeon, spoke to the electors a day or two back. He said : Mr. Gladstone proposed to cut down and overthrow the Irish Church, and that was striking a blow at the Protestant institu tions of the country, and that was the reason why he had the honour of appearing there and asking them to assist in reversing the decision arrived at by the House of Commons in the last session. He believed that the destruction of the Irish Church would be a step towards the destruction of their Protestant institutions ; and that was, strange to say, the opinion of Mr. Gladstone informer years, and. Lord Russell only two years ago. But there bad been a change. In the excitement of party strife, and from, he might say, a hankering for office, Mr. Gladstone had suddenly, when there was no need for the agitation on the Irish Church question at all—for there had been no thought of it during the Government of Lord Palmerston, when the Irish Church was in its pre sent state—introduced the question in a Parliament that was not called to consider it, but the question of Reform. If it had not been for the illness of Lord Derby, which brought Mr. Disraeli into power, they would have heard nothing of the Irish Church. With reference to their rela tions with foreign Powers, it was admitted, he believed, by every one, even by the opponents of the present Govern ment, that Lord Stanley had conducted their foreign affairs weL There was a great difference between the quiet they now enjoyed and the constant trouble they experienced under Lord Russell, who interfered with and muddled everything. As to Reform, he did not think they had any fault to find with the present Government on that question. They had gone far enough, he imagined. He did net think there was much need for Reform ; he was of the same opinion as Lord Palmerston on that point. Public opinion was a manufactured article, and when they once got up the steam the engines went. That being the case, Reform became a necessity. • He had always advocated the rights of the working classes and the interests of the working men and of the country at large. His views had changed in nothing. Many years ago, when he in company with others first entered Parliament as a young man fresh from college, he and others founded a party known as the " Young England party," a party of whose programme was justice to the working man. Of those who were associated with him, only two—Mr. Disraeli and Lord John Manners —now remained ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. VARWICK.-A third Liberal candidate, in the person of Mr. Robert Crawford, Parliamentary solicitor, a member of the Reform Club, made his appearance yesterday and issued his address. FROME.—Sergeant Sleigh has come forward as a Conser vative in opposition to Mr. T. Hughes. The learned ser geant states that if elected he " should enter Parliament as a free man—neither the tool of any party nor the slave of any faction. MID-KENT.—The Liberals have chosen Lord John Her vey and Mr. Francis Hcad to fight the battle against Lord Holmesdale and Mr. Hart Dyke. The contest promises to be one of unpaialloled severity. BIRMINGHAM.—The nomination will take place in the open air on Monday next. The Mayor will open the pro ceedings; the writ will then be read, and there will be five movers, five seconders, and five candidates to speak, and ye shows of hands to be taken. The polling is ap pointed for the following day. DR. HUMPHREY SANDWITH AND THE PERMISSIVE BILL.— Dr. Humphrey Sandwith, one of the Liberal candidates for Marylebone, has addressed the following letter to Mr. Ed munds, who is an elector of the borough;—" Our long con versation on the principle of giving a popular veto on the public sale of drink in particular localities has had a great effect on my mind and has cleared away considerable doubts. The result of it is that I agree to the principle of a popular veto as applied in this instance, but I should prefer to keep myself unfettered and ready to hear unpledged a thorough discussion of the matter in the House of Commons ; there fore, although you are at liberty to show this letter to any cne you choose, I do not intend it to be a means of catching Totes. I have, however, and always have had, a warm sympathy with those who are labouring in the cause of temperance.—Believe me, yours very truly, 11. SANDWITH. _ - PLYMOUTIL—The Liberal candidates addressed a crowded assembly on Monday evening, Mr. H. Brown in the chair. Sir Robert Collier said that Mr. Disraeli was the master of Parliamentary manoeuvre—as well as an adroit shuffier of the political cards, playing for the sake of office, apparently without the power to conceal that no object higher than office could be presented to his imagination. The Tories did not know what to say, because what they said now they might have to unsay next month. They were waiting for the word of command, and they did not know whether it would be "forward," or "right about face," or whether there was to be a strategic movement on the flank. Sir Robert contrasted with this the policy of the Liberals, and resumed his seat amid cheers. A vote of confidence in the Liberal candidates was unanimously carried. The Coroner's inquiry into the death of the man Gallagher, who died from the effects of injuries h e received during the riots at Blackburn on Mon day week, was brought to a close on Tuesday. Tho deceased, it would seem, was taking an active part in the disturbances when ho was struck on the head by a policeman. Whether this was the fatal blow could not be determined, and the jury apparently considered that it was, and returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. A HARD WINTER.—The winter seems to have come on very suddenly in the North. In Westmoreland, during Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, the atmosphere was exceedingly clear and cold—quite unpre• cedentedly so. On the latter day the canal was covered in places by a thin coating of ice, and the surface a the water in the higher and more shallow parts of Lake Windertnere was frozen, of course but slightly. On Sunday night there wer3 eleven degrees of frt..st. The nights are very clear, the sky presenting all the phenomena of northern lights and lunar rainbows. THE EXCITEMENT AT BLACKBURN.—The follow ing is a copy of a threatening letter which was lately received by a leading Conservative at Blackburn, on account of the death of Gallagher, who was one of the staffmen employed by the Liberal party, and who died from injuries received during the rioting:— "Blood! Blood ! ! Blood !! !" (Death's head.) " Gallagher." (Cross bones ; a coffin, with a cross and bible on either side.) The following inscription was written on the coffin "Died, Nov. 16, 1868. A nation's wrongs, a widow's wail, and children's tears, rest ever oil his soul D eath Death ! Death ! We have 'Jworri." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Da 7. SHREWSBURY RlOES—Tms DAY.
