There is no change to report in Public Securities from yesterday's final close. The Funds remain dull at the decline of 5 per cent., and there is no re .e"erY in For e i gn S toc k s or R a il ways. Th e on ly feature among the former is the increased firmness of the Italian Tobacco Loan, now standing at * prem., ° wing to the success which has attended its intro duction. The business doing is very limited, and as a great d ea l of speculation is rife, pr i ces of par ticular descriptions have an uncertain appearance.

The prosecutor, a Frenchman, named Dubois, who was examined through an interpreter, said last night he was in St. James's Park on his road home, and when he arrived near to Buckingham Palace, he met the prisoner and and inquired the way home. As neither could speak the other's language, this occasioned some difficulty, both being compelled to resort to panto mime. The soldier made the Frenchman under stand the road to go, and then putting his finger in his own outh, he also made him understand that he was thirsty, and they went to a " maison beer." where some refreshment was had. After this they left the house, went into the park again, he (prose cutor) having to go along_ the centre mall, and then the soldier who was walking by his side put his hand into the pocket be had seen him (prosecutor) put the purse. He had, however, whilst walk ing along, removed it from ono side pocket to the other, and when the soldier found he had not got it, he took hold of his coat with one hand, whilst he attempted to put the other into his coat pocket. The prosecutor, like the prisoner, being a person of strength, a regulrr struggle took place, which lasted for some minutes, the French man getting the best of it, until the soldier struck him a violent blow with a Malacca cane, which was heavily loaded with lead. Fortu nately the Frenchman succeeded in warding off the blow, to a great extent, but whilst all this was going on a crowd assembled, the soldier having the advantage of being able to tell his version of the en counter, whilst the Frenchman was prevented by his inability to speak the English language. A police constable came up, and soma person in the crowd having assisted the Frenchman to tell the version of the story, the guardsman was taken to the sta tion, and charged with robbery. The soldier said it was altogether a mistake, he was not the party who had been with the French man at all. The prosecutor rushed up to him as he was walking up the mall, and from his gestures he thought some one had injured him, and he was about to render him assistance when he seized him, and the struggle c ommenced. The police-constable said on arriving at the sta tion the Frenchman was enabled to state his version of the affair. He had found out that the cane with which the prosecutor was struck had been stolen by the prisoner but a sh ort time before from a public house. The owner of the cane, however, was not in attendance. The magistrate remanded the prisoner, in order that further evidence might be obtained. THAMES. A DANGEROUS LUNATIC. —George Lammas, 45, a plumber and painter, of 13, Rich-street, Lime house, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with threatening to shoot Mr. W. J. Matthews, pawnbroker and appraiser, of 4, Stepney-green, Mile-end-old-town. _ The prosecutor, a very respectable and humane man, had some ejectment warrants to execute some time since in Limehouse, and among others, with the aid of the police, he ejected the prisoner on a warrant. Mr. Matthews had ever since been sub jected to abuse and annoyance by the defendant, who had applied very offensive epithets towards him. This had been repeated on many occasions Last night the prosecutor was leaving Mr. Newton's committee-room in the West India-road, when his) old persecutor, the prisoner, made his appearance and commenced a torrent of foul abuse and threats. The prisoner said, "I will shoot you ; you shall not live." Mr. Matthews expostulated with the pri soner, and said he had only done his duty. The prisoner followed him through the street, and then said, "I will shoot you; I have a pistol," an d then took from his pocket a five-chamber rev olver, capped and loaded, which he was about to present at the prosecutor, when W illiam Bellamy, a police-constable, No. 451 K, made his appearance and took him into custody, and seized the pistol. The prisoner made a stout reistance and said he would not be taken alive, and called Mr. Matthews a thief and a burglar, and that he had no right to take away his property. He was taken to the Poplar Station-house, where he made a great deal of noise, and said he should not be satisfied until he took away the life of the bur glar. He was locked up, and made a disturbance all night. Mr. Benson—Was this unfortunate man sober ? Mr. Matthews —Quite so, your worship ; 1 have put up with this annoyance for some time. I here are bullets, gunpowder, and steel filings in each chamber of the revolver. The prisoner said that Mr. Matthews had no right to take his property, and was a thief and a burglar. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a dangerous man, and either a lunatic or something worse. He remanded him for a week, and directed that the charges of the revolver should be withdrawn. The Master and Fellows of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, have established nine additional sizarships for the assistance of persons whose circum stances would otherwise be inadequate to meet the ex pense of a university education. Three will be awarded some time this month to persons commencing residence. These sizarships are in the sole appointment of the Master of Corpus Christi College. FUNERAL OF CANON HAwKiNs.—The remains of the late Rev. Ernest Hawkins, 8.D., ono of the canons ro sidentiary, were interred yesterday in Westminster Abbey. A large number of the members and friends of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, with which Mr. Hawkins was connected for many years as assistant and principal secretary, were present. The dean per formed the service, in the presence of Lord John Thynne, the sub-dean; Canons Jennings, Conway, and Nepean ; the Rev. S. Flood Jones, M.A., the precentor; and other members of the collegiate body. Mr. Turle presided at the organ. THE CHANCERY DIVIDENDS.—Notice has been given at the Rolls Chambers that on Thursday next, and the two following'days, the office of the accountant-gene ral will be opened for the payment of the October Chan , eery dividends.

BECKIIAMPTON.—BIo.ck Flag, Eudora, and Janet Raw cliffe are doing good work. I think they will yet be wanted before the end of the season. Most of our horses are at Newmarket, and consequently there is very little to report from here. RICHMOND.—On Wednesday, Adamant led Declaration, Atreus, Roderick Random, and Lancer a mile and a half. Attache went three-quarters of a mile smartly by himself. Rounds led Last Rose of Summer and all Watson's lot a canter, and then Caprera led Reltub, Annie, Annie Stewart, The Gleaner, Stella, and Sweet Annie a nice steady gallop. Prior and Ortie galloped smartly. Ladas is in physic. Brother to Lades and a colt by Cavendish are two very fine and promising animals. Louisa and Raunds went two miles smartly. Adamant and Declara tion took a good two-mile gallop, joined in the last mile by Roderick Random. Man of Ross went a mile and a half. Elvin) took two canters. Thursday.—Buttercup and Raunds galloped freely two miles. Hind and National Guard colt went three-quarters of a mile nicely. At Nor thallerton we shall be well represented, but at present I cannot tell for a certainty what will go. From the work done, however, I think Watson will win the Great North Riding Handicap with Auchinleck or Man of Ross. The Broomfield Nursery Little Bell or Ortie will win. For the Ingleby Plate, I must have 'Watson's selected; the Nor thallerton Handicap, Louisa or King Hal ; and Hardwood Plate, Little Bell or Sleeping Maggie. KiNGSCLEUE.—OnWedaesday Vabalathus, The Palmer, Green Sleeve, Siderolite, Nyl Gau, and three yearlings cantered twice up the hollow. The Palmer then led Green Sleeve a nice gallop of a mile and a half. Siderolite galloped by himself a mile. Thursday.- -The same horses were out, and repeated the previous day's work. Friday. —Vabalathus, The Palmer, Green Sleeve, Nyl Gau, and Siderolite all cantered up the hollow twice. Green Sleeve galloped by herself at a very slow pace rather over a mile. The Palmer, Siderolite, and Nyl Gau were taking things quietly. The yearlings were walking on the Overton road. Rosicrucian has been fired. NEWMARKET.—Of our horses in the Cambridgeshire Fripponier heads the list, and the horse is very well in deed. Knight Errant and Grimston are also engaged from the same stable, and all are going on well, doing good, steady work. Bloss's lot consists of Hermit, Vauban, and Professor Anderson. Vauban has been gently treated, and if he remains sound to the finish, might run well. The other two have both run this week, therefore, I need say no more of them. St. Ronan is doing nothing. Godding's lot includes Goodwood, Python, and Kettleholder, who have been going on as well as can be desired. The best of this lot I believe will bo Kettleholder. John Dawson's two, Ty phoeus and Marquis of Carabas, have been before the public this week. Typhceus improves, and is a great big horse, and might run well over this course. Ilayhoe's lot will be con fined to one, namely, Restitution, who ran well in the Cesarewitch, and might improve his position up this hill. King Alfred is still amiss, and Saffolk will not run. Lord Stamford's two I will notice fully in my next, but I expect Warrington will run better over this course than he did over the long one this week. Vale Royal is a brute, and will not try. Tormentor I feel disposed to think will show to better advantage the next time. She ran in front for quite two miles in the Cesarewitch. Jennings has Nemea, Nelusko, Mortemer, and Moutagnard, and no doubt the best of this lot will be a warm favourite before the day. They are all well, and perhaps in my next I may be able to throw some light on this lot. Matthew Dawson's Lady Coventry, Clairon, Contempt, Casse Tete, and Head Centre are all well, but there is only one with a chance left, namely, Lady Coventry, who has made great improve ment, looking and going welL Goodwin's Snowdrop does good work daily, but Purveyor is on the shelf. Little Treasure and Porter's Knot, in Price's stable, are mode rate. Noyau and Pyrenees, in Blanton's, are very little better, and Whitworth, in Ashmall's lot, I don't believe in. In making a selection at the present time, I must stand to the chance of Lady Coventry, as I believe her always to be better by 101 b than Speculum. STOCKBRIDGE.—There is nothing going on of any con sequence. The following horses have been walking about the lanes and roads :—Logarithm, Equerry, Rod Rice, 13 yearlings, Minnie Warren, Beata, and Lady Dupplin. Tom Day has had out Mr Briggs and Boaster and eight year lings. Espartoro was schooling the yearling fillies. y. King's are going on well, as are also Ilaynes's Duchess and Alderman. FINDON.—As a great many of our horses are away at Newmarket for their engagements in the Second October Meeting there is not much going forward this week in this quarter. Cambridgeshire —Romping Girl has been at Newmarket, but returned on Thursday morning. The Irish Queen filly is still at headquarter; but Rodomonte, Wolsey, and Hermitage are doing good steady work for this engagement, viz., cantering a m il e twice, and wind ing-up with a good gallop of a mile and a quarter. Several horses that have late engagements are doing steady work. Most of the yearlings are now doing regular exercise, and I think that Goater has got a very promising team of youngsters. CHILTON.—On Tuesday, Actiea did a nice steady canter of about a mile, after which she was stripped and sent a good gallop of a mile and a half, accompanied by Harrogate, Acte3a having much the best of ,it at the finish. Wednesday.—After cantering, she was again sent the mile-and-a-half gallop, being accampanied this time by Harrogate and Black Boy, but she was pulling double over her companions all the way. Thursday.—Actssa did one steady canter of a mile, moving first-class. She im proves daily, and is as fresh as a lark after her:gallop each morning. ILSLEY.—Ligurian, Weather Isle, Belfast, and Linkboy are fit and well for their engagements at Cheltenham, and as they have all run lately your readers will know their form best. At Chelmsford, Milton is in the Autumn Han 'dicap. He ran at Newmarket, where you have seen his performance. King of the Rovers is well, and doing good work for tho Nursery. He is in rare form now, and will bo worth looking after. HEDNESFORD.—In the Herefordshire Stakes we have Success; but I see he is in physic, and considering what he has done lately, ho requires a little rest. Barnabo is in, and at a fair weight ; but he is a nervous brute. I saw him go a rattling good gallop by himself up the Coppy Gallop. Stanton is in the Hurdle Race, and has been doing two-mile gallops, but I can't fancy him. He is the Stanton that once defeated Caller Ou, and the old horse is still as fresh and well as can be expected. Barnabo is in the Aristocratic Handicap, but I shall not recommend him. Stanton is in the Handicap Hurdle Race, but much will depend on the first day's running. Cliff's, Saunders's, Earett's, Hopwood's, and Mr. G. Palmer's lots are all doing plenty of work. Siitivni.—At Q4949111= We Jaye Quist=4 Quo], and The Returned in the Gloucestershire Stakes, an which ever they run ought to about land. Hamilton Stakes.—Abyssinia and Ben Block aro engaged, and the last-named will win if sent. Christmas Carol is in the County Cup, but I think he is overweighted. Abyssinia is in the Nursery Handicap, but I cannot stand her. True Heart was sent to lead Jezabel at the timber work this morning, and I never saw a new beginner jump better. Walter White was up, and I quite expect he will bring her out as perfect as he has many other hurdle racers. As re gards True Heart, he fenced very badly, but I think it was more the jockey's fault than the horse's. MALTON.—After the recent rain the wolds are in capital racing order, and the following horses are in strong, active work :—Queen of York, George Osbaldeston, Cramond colt, Malta, Cure colt, Taraban, Viscount, Zapolya, Toison d'Or, Lyttleton, Fichu, Blacklock, Dutch Admiral, King Caradoc, Booty, Barna Bimbo, My Lord, Kentish Fire, Royal Oak, and Thunder. We have a lot of the most promising yearlings that I have seen for some time, and the greater part of them are mounted and cantering about. The following horses are under orders for Northallerton : —Lyttleton, Queen of York, George Osbaldeston, Toison d'Or, and Zapolya. The Cramond colt, Malta, and Booty may also go. MIDDLEILIM.—On Tuesday Osborne sent Slap Bang and Bertha a good gallop of two miles. Little Duke, Pomfret, Ashplant colt, Inon, and Conrade galloped a mile and a quarter. Winter sent Palisade, Three per Cent., Viscountess colt, Ajax, and John Osborne a mile and a quarter. Light Cloud and Woodbine wont a rattler over the same distance. Honestish and Ready Money, Comus and Fleets, galloped a mile and a quarter. Dawson's and Fobert's did steady mile work. Wednesday —Osborne's and Winter's repeated their former day's work. Dawson sent The Dean, Czar, Tynedale, Itch colt, Marking Ink, Hymen, and Footlight the mile and a quarter gallop thrice. Fubert's lot that galloped the same distance were Etoile Filante, Frolic some, Josephine, Beechwood, Nuage, Lady Henriette, Pride of Erin, Glenalvon, Sir Harry, Terre-a-Terre, La tooka, Scandal colt, Nation, Lady in Waiting, Cockatena, Decision, and Java. Josephine, Beechwood, Frolicsome, Lady in Waiting, and Etoile Filante finished up with a two mile gallop. Lye's Comus galloped two miles, and Fleets a mile. Thursday.—Fobert's lot all did nice work, as on the previous day. Dawson's repeated their former day's work. FYFlELD.—Boanerges, our Cambridgeshire nag, is doing well. On Wednesday and Thursday, after cantering, he went a nice gallop of a mile and a half, led by Tremble. Friday.—Tremble led him a good gallop of a mile, both pulling up sound and well. Safety is taking things easy. The following horses aro doing some healthy exercise : Threatener, Sagax, Lockoridgo, La Belle Helene, Cantine colt, Marshal Ney, Voltigeur colt, Greenwich Fair colt, and Acton. LEIVES.—Lady Lavender is engaged in the Innkeepers' Plate at Chelmsford, and I should think will about win, if sent, as she appears in good form just now. Peninsula and Musa will most likely be sent to West Drayton. PROGRAMME OF CHELTENHAM AUTUMN MEETING.—TussDAY, Oct. 13.

We may add that Sir Charles Legard's grandson of Newminster was out in a thunderstorm last week and bolted from the Side Hill to Moulton, a distance of little short of three miles, doing himself some temporary in jury.

STEEPLE CHASE FORFEIT LIST.—Tho forfeits of Merry Horn and Nemesis have been paid. Birmingham Steeple Chases will take place on Feb. 8 and 9, 1869. Sudbury and Harrow Races, announced for Monday next, have been postponed sine die. The assumed name of Mr. Marks has been registered. The following horses have gone into H.

Diamond, a good-looking chesnut colt by Big Ben out of Speculation, bought at the Swalcliffe sale last year for 180 gs, was ridden about as a hack last week. BOAR'S HEAD AND VINEGAR.—The mutations of historic sites are ever of interest. Many Shakesperians besides Washington Irving have endeavoured to recover some lost morsel anent Dame Quickley's guests, who held revel at the Boar's Head in Eastcheap, And what now have we upon that famous spot? The shade of "mad-cap Harry" must surely be appeased, "rare pickle" as he was, to find the sacred precincts literally preser7ed in vinegar —the great firm of Hill, Evans, and Co., of Worcester, having erected upon it a very picturesque building, a part of which is for their London agents, Messrs. Water and Williams, now of Martin's-lane, Cannon-street, in a quaint Gothic style, from the designs of Mr. Roumieu, the archi tect. Nor would old Falstaff altogether give his once-loved rendezvous "the sack," for one of two tiers of cellars, 48ft.. wide and 100 ft. in depth, we are told, is to be stored with home-made wines. This portion of Messrs. Hill, Evans, and Co.'s business is by far the smaller ono, though we believe they have sold more than 130,000 gallons of British wines in one year, in the manu facture of which they aro second to none in the trade. It is, however, in the statistics of vinegar we find much that is re markable. At the repeal of the duty, in 1814, the quantity of vinegar paid upon was 2,828,000 gallons, and there was left in stock 3,901,568 gallons. Messrs. Hill, Evans, and Co. then paid upon 153,675 gallons, and their stock was 291,689 gallons. But such has been the public craving for this product that their vat room is now larger than the new Liverpool Exchange-room, and is capable of containing several million gallons of finished vine gar. It is said, indeed, that Hill, Evans, and Co.'s present sale this year has reached two millions of gallons. The consump tion of vinegar is apparently increasing, and seems to be of universal use; the poor, especially in manufacturbit districts, take it, and pickles made from A as a cheap and palatable con di~p@At~•.C~lvh@, THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, O'CLOCK.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—STROJINESS, Orkney Islands, Oct. 7.—The schooner Victor, of Grimsby, bound from Liverpool to Christiana, with a cargo of salt, was riding at anchor in Iloy Sound during stormy weather (says Jas. It. Garrick, Esq.), when she was seen to be in danger. The Saltaire lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at Stromnoss, was thereupon launched to her assistance. On arriving alongside seven of the lifeboat men went on board, slipped one of the anchors to save the tide, and brought the vessel safely into Stromnese harbour. The death was announced ytaterday morning of Sir John Brocas Whalley Smythe ardiner. The de ceased, who was the fourth barons was born at Roche Court, Hampshire, in 1814, and succeeded his father is 1851. He was for some time in the royal navy. He married, in 1861, Mary Harriet, widow of Captain James A. Forrest. He leaves no son, and the baronetcy becomes extinct. One of his sisters is married to Mr. Montagu Burrows, Chichole Professor of Modern History at Ox ford. The first baronet was John Whalley, who, on suc ceeding to the estates of Sir W. Gardiner, Bart. (title ex tinct), assumed the name of Gardiner. LOSS OF A DUNDEE WHALER.—The loss of the Wildfire, a Dundee whaling ship, in the Cumberland Gulf, has been reported by the mate of the vessel, who arrived in Dundee yesterday. The Wildfire left Dundee early this year for Davis Straits. On the lbth of July she got among some heavy ice and was repeatedly struck, and was so much injured that Captain Henderson, after making Lovely Island, was forced to abandon the vessel- After the crew, consisting of about fifty hands, had been about six weeks on the island, thirty-five of them, in cluding the mate, were brought home by the Danish brig Constantine; and the remainder, with the captain, will follow in another Danish ship. A SERVANT INCITING HER MASTER'S CHILDREN TO STEAL.—On Thursday, at Walsall, a girl named Caro line Leyland was charged with having stolen a quantity of ribbons, gloves, collars, cottons, tapes, and other articles of the value of 305., the property of her master, Samuel Roberts. The girl was about to leave on Tuesday, after having been in the prosecutor's service as domestic ser vant about seven weeks, and suspicions of her honesty being excited her box was examined. It was found to contain a variety of goods belonging to Mr. Roberts, and accordingly she was given into custody on a charge of stealing them. It came out that she had induced her master's two sons, the one aged 10 years and the other eight, to givo her the things out of the shop, by g i v i ng them money and fruit, and promising to take them to the fair. She was sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, for aiding, counselling, and procuring the boys to steal the articles. "SILENCE THAT DREADFUL BELL !"—An Ame rican has invented an advertising bell to be attached to bulletin boards, walls, fences, and so forth, to attract at tention to the advertisements pasted thereon. It is ope rated by a coiled spring with clockwork gearing, and when wound up and set running it will sound at intervals of a few seconds continuously for a week if desired.—The Grocer.
