Consols remain at yesterday's reduced rate. In the Foreign Market the likelihood of a new Spanish Loan has sent down the Bonds a trifle, but in other securities prices remain unaltered. In the Railway Market there has been a decline i❑ the London and North-Western. Consols are 91 4 for money ; ditto, for account, 941 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92a ; and the New Tkrce per Cents, 924 Bank of Eng land Stock, 4 per Cent., 2441 6.

Subjoined are the quota tions :—Brazilian of 1865, 884 to 4 ; Chilian of 1867, 944 to 954 ; Egyptian of 1864, 814 to 823 ; ditto of 1868, 724 to 73 ; Italian of 1861, 544 to ; ditto Tobacco Loan, 24 tol prem.; Mexican, 154 to 164 ; Peruvian of 1865, 814 to 82 ; Russian of 1866, 904 to 91 ; ditto Nicolai Railway Loan, 651 to 66, ex. div. ; ditto Orel, 814 to 82 ; ditto Moscow-Jaroslaw, 824 to 83 ; Spanish of 1867, 334 to 4 ; Turkish of 1858, 674 to 684 ; ditto 0f.1862, 69 to 3 ; and ditto of 1865, 414 to 4. India Stock, 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 115 ; ditto, Enlaced Paper 5 per Cent., Jan., 1872, 1054; ditto 4 per Cent., under £l,OOO, 15 prem. The Honduras Loan is firm at 91 92. New Italian Scrip is unchanged, at 2i to 2i pre- mium. The New Russian (Charkoff-Azof) Railway Loan is firm at 14 to 14 prem. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined 4 per cent., viz., to 74 to 744 ; Erie Railway Shares, 274 to 28 ; Illinois Central, 97 to 974 ; Atlantic and Great Western Debentures, 36 to 37 ; and the ConsolUated Mortgage Bonds, 38 to 384 In the Railway Market Caledonians receded 4, Metropolitans 4, Brighton 4, and Great Eastern 4. Great Northern Original stock has recovered 14, and the A stock 4. Lancashire 4 better, and North British 4. The quotations are: Caledonian, 72 4 ; Great Western, 494 4 ; Great Eastern, 424 4 ; Great Northern, 1044 51 ; ditto A, 103} 4 ; Metropolitan, 1054 6 ; ditto Extension, 1034 1; Lancashire, 1274 81; Midland, 111 4 ; Sheffield, 474 4 ; Brighton, 494 4 ; North British, 324 3 ; North Western, 1114 -a ; North Eastern, 100 4 ; South Eastern, 774, 4 ; Chatham and Dover, 164 4. Metropolitan District Railway stock is 724 73. Great Indian Peninsular Railway New Four per Cent. Debenture Stock is 944, 954. In Bank Shares there is no alteration, and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive. National Dis count, 114 to 12 ; General Credit, 24 to 2 dis. ; International, 14- to 1 dis. ; Hudson's Bay, 144 to ; Telegraph Construction, 151 to 4 ; Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, 34 _to 4 ; andAoglo-American, 214 to 22. A sum of £45,000, consisting of £20,000 in bar gold for the Continent, and 25,000 sovereigns for Alexandria, was withdrawn from the Bank yester day ; at the same time 50,000 sovereigns were received from Brazil. Upon balance, the total amount taken from the Bank during the week is £204,000. A meeting of the holders of all descriptions of foreign bonds is called for the 11th inst., at the London Tavern, to adopt resolutions in favour of forming an influential Council to represent and protect their general interests. This movement is stated to have been set on foot and supported by the members of several existing special Committees of Bondholders, the respective Committees of the Stock Exchange of London and Amsterdam, seve ral London houses, that have contracted foreign loans, managers of financial associations, the Foreign and Colonial Trust Committee, and others. As upwards of £400,000,000 of British capital is invested in Foreign Securities, it is deemed expe dient that some controlling body should exist to Watch over their interests. It is contemplated, we believe, to invite Baron Lionel Rothschild, M.P., or another of the City members, to presida at the meeting on Wednesday. The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were, to Calcutta £171,000, and to 111a•lras £28,900. The minimum pricy was fixed at ls. 104 d., as before. Tenders on both Presidencies, at 15. 114 d., will receive about 72 per cent. The result shows a further increase in the demand for means of remittance. The Post-office have notified, in reply to the me morial presented on the 27th of August last from the merchants of London, urging the continued employment in the conveyance of British mails of the steamers of the North German Lloyd, which leave Southampton for New York every Tuesday, that, subject to the approval of Parliament, the Postmaster-General has been authorised by the Treasury to accept the tender of that company for the service in question. It appears by the South American advices re ceived yesterday that the great earthquake caused much damage in the Republic of Bolivia. Ibarro and Otavolo were completely destroyed, with a loss of life of 15,000. The New Russian (Charkow-Azow) Railway Loan subscriptions closed yesterday, and we un derstand applications were received to several times the amount for allocation in England. It is notified that the list of applications for shares in the Brazilian Street Railway Company is now closed. The subscriptions are stated to have exceeded the amount required. The Pestarena United Gold 'Mining Company (Limited) have received the following telegram, dated Pallanza, November 3, 4.30 p.m. :—" Re mittance of gold made to office for October—Pes tarena, 278 oz. ; Battigio, 58 oz. ; and Val Toppa, 1 61 oz • making a total of 497 oz. • , We learn from Frankfort that the Bourse of that City shows great animation. United States Bonds are in good request, and have attained the price of 7 9, the highest reached since the civil war, and a large part of the interest falling due on them will be invested again in the same stock. Austrian rail- Way shares are also in favour. The 60,000 shares of the Austrian North-Western Railway, just issued, have been subscribed more than twenty-fold; the list at Frankfort alone amounted to 90,000. The subscription for the Preference Bonds of the Charko-Azof Railway was likewise considered cer tain to have a good result. It is reported that, by the new postal convention to be concluded between the North German Confederation and England, the postage for a half-ounce letter will be reduced to 2 groschen (21d.), and for paper printings of liez. weight to 1 groschen ; money orders payable in both countries are also contemplated. The new Wine crop sells cheaply, but there is little demand hitherto ; prices in the best localities range from £6 to £3 10s. per ohm (equal to about 28 gallons). The German corn markets remain dull ; a recent Ilse could not be sustained. The Great Britain Life Assurance Company has t aken,, over the business of th e National U n ion, an d th ereby secured to itself an acquisition of new pre illiurbe to the amount of £B,OOOO per annum. The effect of such anamalgamation cannot but produce the best results t o a ll p ar ti es con c e rn ed, an d as th e s, reat Brit a i n cont i nues t o h o ld ou t th e same spe cial advantages it offered to assurers pre . vious to the union, it will doubtless secure an increase of business to a very great extent.

COLONIAL.—Sugar.—The market for raw continues very quiet, and as holders persist in demanding late prices, the transactions are extremely limited. In re fined there is but little doing. Dry goods can be purchased at previous rates, but prices may be had on easier terms. Coffee is steady, and full prices are obtained for all coloury qualities, pale sorts also fully maintained their values, but are not quite so much sought after. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.—The supplies are moderate, and the weather being more favourable, with rather better accounts from Newgate and Leadenhall, we have had an improved tone in our market. Prices for best qualities have been against buyers. Of beasts there were 1,310, and the really prime were sold quickly, whilst middling sorts were rather more saleable. The finest sheep realised about 2d per stone more, and the trade was more cheerful. Veal did not sell well, the rough condition of the stock checking demand. Pork unaltered. Trade quiet. Total at market :—Beasts, 1,310 ; sheep, 4,200 ; calves, 122; pigs, 40. Beef 3s 4d to 58 6d. POTATOES.—Borough and Spitalfields.—There is a very quiet demand at these markets, and prices are without change. English regents, 80s to 1508 ; ditto rocks, 50s to 70s; York regents, 120 s to 150 s; ditto rocks, 60s to 90s ; Lincoln regents, 60s to 120 s ; Scotch ditto, 80s to 130 s; Denbars, 90s to 130 s; French, 508 to 70s per ton. HAY AND STRAW.—S mithfield and Whitechapel. —T he demand is moderate, with a full suppiy. The number of visitors at the South Kensington Museum during the week ending Oct. 31 was as follows: On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 12,963; on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (admission 6d.), from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m., I,9o7—total, 14,870. Average of corresponding week in former years, 10,696: total from the opening of the museum, 7,878,969. THE CHANNEL FLEET.--Orders have been re ceived that the ships forming the Channel Squadron are to prepare for sea immediately. They will all be complete with three months' provisions, &c., as soon as possible, and the Minotaur, 34, armour-plated ship, Captain James G. Goodenough (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Fre derick Warden, 0.B.), will leave Portsmouth Harbour, where she is now lying, for Spithead, as soon as the few repairs required on board her are completed. WINDING-UP COMPANIES IN CHANCERY.—The official judicial statistics of 1867 show that in that year 110 orders were brought into the Chambers of the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellors for winding-up com panies. Lists of contributories were proposed, from which 357 names were excluded; 9,343 persons were included in the lists. Calls were ordered in the year amounting t o £1,497,831. Dividends were ordered to be paid amounting to £7,310,339. The calls made in the preceding year amounted to £1,810,834. It is just a century since Massachusetts granted the town of Bethel to the heirs of the soldiers that served in the Canadian expedition of 1690. The occasion will be appropriately celebrated. The Mechanics' Fair at San Francisco was closed on Saturday, Sept. 19, after an exhibition of 31 days, and the receipts proved to be $20,000 in excess of the ex penditure. The violent deaths in New York city average one thousand per annum, and the deaths resulting from dis ease, but investigated by the Coroner, amount to about ono thousand more. The fees alone paid to the Coroners of that city amount to $26,500 every year. . _ . . A telegram from Florence, Oct. 22, stated that Italy had just concluded with the Regency of Tunis a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation. The people in San Francisco consider it certain that their city will be made the ddpot for the Australian and Now Zealand Mail now running to Panama.

MARLBORO UGH-S MEET. SINGULAR CASE—TILE PUGILIST AND THE UNFOR TUNATE.—Ada Richardson, a well-dressed unfor tunate, was charged with being drunk and assault ing James Dillon, who described himself as a retired pugilist, and who resided at 29, Cirencester place. James Dillon—Between 8 and 9 last night I was sitting in a public-house in Hampstead-street, Fitz roy-square, when the prisoner came in and said I " Here, you -- fighting man, will you have a round with me," and she then squared up to me and struck me du the chest. A person called for two cigars, and said, " Mr. Dillon will pay for them," and the prisoner then said, " He's a -- nice fellow to be called Mr.,' " and she continued to abuse me. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Do you knDw her ? Dillon---I never saw herbefore. She called me a thief," a " receiver of stolen goods," and said that L got my living by dipping my fingers into other people's pockets. I told her not to interfere with na ,- .6. Slie was partly drunk and was with another woman. She accused 1112 of having pinned a piece of paper on her friend's shawl, and then struck me in the eye and broke my hat, and continued to abase me for a quarter of an hour. At last I went and got a police-constable and gave her into custody. The Prisoner—You wanted to go home with me, and I toll you I kept the company of gentlemen, and not pugilists. You are in the habit of coming to the house where I live and standing drinks. Dillon—That is not true. The Prisoner—Some one pinned an election bill on my friends back, and all the little boys shouted after us, and we could not think what they were hooting at. Ile blackened my eye, and fought me like a man. Joseph Casett, being in Bolsover-street, corrobo rated Dillon, and said in addition--I saw the pri soner attempt to take up a pewter pot to throw at Dillon, and on the person preventing her thing so she clawed the person on the nose. The prisoner was not sober ; she accused Dillon of pinning an election bill on her friend's back, but Dillon was not the person who did it. Prisoner —Did you not see Dillon give me a black eye? Witness—No ; it was done in a struggle to get you to the station. Inspector Ingerson, of the E division—The pri soner was so violent that it required four persons to put her into the cell. Joseph Bull, 189 E--I took the prisoner into custody. Mr. D'Eyneourt —Was she sober ? Constable—She was rather tight. The Prisoner—l wish to call my "lady friend." The " lady friend" was called, but her evidence did not alter the facts of the case; and although she stated that she was quite sober, the witnesses said she was more drunk than the prisoner. Barns, the Gaoler—The prisoner has been here several times. Prisoner—Give me one more chance. I am living with a gentleman in New Inn, and being locked up will be my ruin. Dillon—l have been a fighting man, and these people provoke me, and if Istrike them and brought here I shall be sent to prison. Mr. D'Eyncourt—The prisoner will be com mitted for 7 days. ,hare Railways.

CANINE PROVISIONS.—James Arnold, aged 18 years, ani James Burns, 23, were brought be ' fore Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting James Reading. The case originated out of a night coffee-stall row in the Commercial-road, and a question arose whether the prosecutor did not provoke the assault committed upon him by the prisoners by flourishing a large stick. After much contradictory evidenc?, Mr. Paget said he would adjourn the case for a week if any respectable man would guarantee the prisoners would be forthcoming again. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, said the young men were in the service of Mr. Henry Briant, a large exporter of horse flesh from France and Germany, whose premises were in North-street, Whitechapel-roa 1, and who also kept a large public-house called the Princess Royal in the same street. Mr. Briant, a healthy portly in in, entered the witness-box, and the magistrate sail, " Why you do not live on horseflesh surely." (A. laugh.) Mr. Briant —No, sir ; I supply numerous dealers in canine provisions—with horseflesh, English and foreign. Mr. Paget—l suppose the trade has been seri ously affected by the recent edict of Sir Richard Mayne in removing the dogs from the streets, muzzling, and destroying so many. (Laughter.) Mr. iriant—l can assure you, sir, it has al►nost destroyed the trade. It has effected me to the ex tent of £2O or more per week. Some of the itinerant dealers have laid up their barrows. Mr. Paget —Then the dogs' m3at men have greatly suffered. Mr. Briant—Very much, indeed, sir. Mr. Paget—Has not the consumption of horse flesh entered another channel ? (Laughter.) Mr. Pelham—l will take care no horse flesh shall enter me. (Loud laughter.) I am no hippopha gist. I can assure you that Mr. Briant, who is an old client of mine, is a most respectable man and a large ratepayer. kr. Briant here took his banker's cheque book and a roll of Bank of England notes from his poc ket, and was about to offer them as a deposit with the magistrate, when Mr. Paget told hi►n to return them to his pocket, and said his word was enough, lie would most willingly accept Mr. Briant's bail, and he hoped trade would revive with him. Mr. Briant —I hope so, sir. Many poor doge meat men will have to go to the workhouse if Sir Richard Mayne's law is enforced all the winter. Mr. Pelham said as the price of the raw mate' ial in which his client dealt so largely had been so materially reduced, there ought to be a correspond ing reduction in the price of German sausages, saveloys, and other delicaciesof that nature. (Roars of laughter.) The bail was then tendered and the prisoner liberated. A SPANISH THIEF AND THE ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND.—Raimondi Lifosi, a lad belonging to the Spanish war corvette, Arapilcs, lying in the New Mdlwall Dock, Poplar,,was brought before INIr. Paget, charged with stealing 131bs of beef from the shop of Mr. George Butcher, of No. 2, Queen's terrace, Manchester-road, Poplar. The prosecutor said th it he was Butcher by name and a butcher by trade. Last evening at half-past nine o'clock he was standing near his window, and saw the prisoner enter the shop and take down a large piece of prime beef from the hook to which it was hanging, and walk away with it. He called to the prisoner before he got out of the shop, but he made off with the beef. He followed him and stopped him. While on ;the way to the station-house a man accosted him, and said 44 What, have you only just taken that young chap? I saw him with that piece of beef . in a field two hours ago." The observation led to an inquiry, and another and a larger piece of flesh was found in a field in the Isle of Dogs. /in Paget—Who does that belong to? Mr. Butcher—l don't know, sir—the owner has not been discovered. My piece of beef weighs 131b5., and is worth 7s. The Prisoner said a boy, whom he met; in the street,went into.lllr. Butcher's shop, and took up the piece of beef and gave it to him. He was about to take it on board ship and cook it. He had never tasted the roast beef of Old England. Mr. Butcher—The prisoner has told a falsehood. I swear he was alone when he came into my shop. There was not a soul with him. The prisoner said he would pay for the beef if the magistrate would discharge him. Mr. Paget said he could not do that, and caused the whole of the evidence to be interpreted to the prisoner, who was committed for trial. It is said in Lisbon that the Duke of Montpensier will not return to Spain until the question 91 future Go. MAIM too Wm definitely decided. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. • [CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.'

The returns received up to this hour apparently indicate the election of General Grant. He has gained decisive majori ties in the following States :—Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut. The returns from New York are less decisive, and it is possibl o the Democrats have been successful. 9.30 p.m. In Ohio the Republican ticket has 30,000 majority. The majority for Grant in Massachusetts is 73,000. There is no longer any doubt of Grant's election. 10 p.m. Louisiana has given a large majority for Seymour. The majority for that candidate in New Orleans is 25,000. But few Republican votes were polled. The majority for Grant in Michigan is 25,000. 11 p.m. West Virginia gives 8,000 majority for Grant. In Indiana his majority is 12,000 ; in Nebraska, 5,000; in Illinois, GO,OGO ; New Hampshire, 8,000. Sey mour has carried Maryland, Baltimore alone giving him 12,000 majority. Kentucky has also given a heavy majority for the Democratic ticket. 12 p.m. Wisconsin gives Grant 12,000 majority; lowa, 20,000. The following States have also given their votes to the Republican candidate, viz : Missouri, California, and Nevada. Nov. 4 (4 a.m.) The following additional States are now known to have given their votes to Grant :—Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oregon, and Minnesota. In lowa, Minnesota, and Oregon, majorities have been obtained favourable to negro suffrage. Georgia has given a decisive majority for Seymour. Kansas gives 10,000 majority to Grant. In New Jersey the Grant ticket has a small majority ; but Mr. Randolph, the Democratic candidate for Governor, elected over Mr. Blair, Republican. Delaware has given a small majority for Seymour. New York has also given Sey mour a majority, and the election of Mr. Hoffman as Governor is confirmed. 9 a.m. The following are the estimated majorities for Grant in the States named :—Maine, 28,000; New Hampshire, 5,000 ; Rhode Island, 5,000 ; Connecticut, 3,000; Pennsyl vania, 20,000; Vermont, 30,000.

Hoffman bas been elected Governor of New York. He was the candidate of the Democratic party. General Butler has been chosen to Congress from the tifth district of Massachusetts. LAW INTELLLIGENCE—(7his Day.) ROLLS COURT. HOARE V. WILSON.-TIIE ENCLOSURE OF lIA3IP- STEAD lIEATII. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment in this cause to-day, which was a motion for the decree to restrain the defendant from build ing on, enclosing, or carting gravel from the celebrated rural spot known as Hampstead Heath. The defendant inherited tne land under the will of the late Sir T. Wilson, in which docu ment there were certain restrictions with respect to building, and which, it is supposed, were in serted to prevent any of the testator's descendants from building on the land. Sir Thomas has in a variety of ways sought to obtain power to alter certain clauses iu the will, but has hitherto been to an extent unsuccessful. IL! has applied to Parliament for certain powers, which have also been refused, and in order to test his right to the Heath he com menced building a villa near " Jack Straw's Castle," which led to great disturbance, and eventually an ap peal in the Court of Chancery was made to restrain him from prosecuting the work. The case was fully argued, and to-day his Honour fixed for giving judgment in the matter. His Honour said ho was asked to say whether the steps taken by Sir Thomas was an infringement of the rights of the copyholders and commoners, and he was also asked to define what those rights were. Those were ques tions which he declined to decide, but in order that the matter might be fully argued he had drawn up certain issues, which he should direct to be tried before a special jury. When these issues were so tried the whole matter would be opened up, and then it would be decided what the copyholders rights were, and to what extent Sir T. Wilson was capable of stopping them. The business in each of the superior courts at Westminster were confined to motions, none of which possessed any public interest. MR. ODGER'S RFTIREMEN7 FROM CHELSEA. Last night the Working Men's Electoral Asso ciation held a meeting at the Hereford Arms, Old Bromptou, Mr. Neiss in the chair. The chief business before the meeting was the consideration of Mr. Odger's retirement from the borough of Chelsea. Mr. Odger, who was loudly cheered, said the working men of Chelsea bad won the approba tion of the whole country. They wanted to do what he did—to break through the doors of the House of Commons ; but it had been decided by three referees of high character that they could not do so on the present occasion. The working men's cause, however, did not rest alone with Chelsea. The newspapers had acknowledged the example which the men of Chelsea had set to the country ; and although the decision of the referees might keep him out of the 110113:3 of Commons, that was nothing compared with the general good which the attempt of the working men of Chelsea would effect. No doubt the working men bad been in sulted by what had taken place. A blow had been dealt to the Liberal party, and although he was as faithful to the Liberal party as any man could be, he was not faithful to every limb of it, because he knew there was a rotten limb behind it. (Hear, hear.) All the working men could do was to create a situation out of which the so-called Liberals could not escape without singeing their fingers. (Hear, hear.) There was victory behind the defeat of the working men of Chelsea. (Hear, hear.) He had offers from half a dozen places asking him to stand as candidate, but he would not go to any of them, and as to Greenwich he was not the man to oppose an old colleague like Baxter Langley. (Hear.) He could do without going into Parliament. He was as well in the workshop as in the House of Com mons, and perhaps could do more good there. He did not think the new Parliament would last beyond twelve months, because there must be a redistribu tion of seats. At the next election there could be no doubt many working men would get into Par liament. (Hear, hear.) He knew that many men felt sore at what, as regards Chelsea, they regarded as a disappointment ; but it was only a disappoint ment of the hour, and would give place to a bright future for the working men of England. (Cheers.) A long discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Osborne, Bartlett, Mudge, Harry, and Bickley took part, and eventually a resolution, affirming that all through the electioneering campaign in Chelsea Mr. Odger acted in the best faith aul in harmony with his character for political honesty, was passed. The proceedings then terminated. The joint committee of the Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Companies have decided to abolish, from and after to-morrow, November 1, 1868, tits system of counting letters in estimating tariffs, and to count only by words.
