The jury found Farrer guilty, and acquitted Hullett. Sentence deferred. MARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY. COTTON. LivEßron, October3o.—Sales 12,000 bales. Market steady. The colonial markets are firm, without material altera tion in prices, but the demand is slightly less active than it was at the beginning of the week, the only exception being in rum, which continues to move off steadily. CORN. The weather continues cold, and favourable for outdoor work. Heavy rains have, however, fallen in various parts of the country. At Birminhham, yesterday, the attendance was fair, and business in wheat moderately active, at last week's full prices. Barley, beans, and oats without change. Peas were rather dearer. At Manchester there was only a quiet demand for wheat, but last week's rates were fairly maintained. Best flour was quite as dear, but inferior sorts gave way 6d to is per sack. Oats were id to 2d per 451 b dearer, and oatmeal rose in propor tion. BOROUGH HOP. There has been a considerable trade doing during the week in all descriptions of the new English growth, but especially in fine coloured hops for pale ale brewing. SHIPPIN G INTELLIGENCE.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.170. per Ll sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same prlee in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bill s at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1,91 percent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

According to the route sketched in the papers, the Prince and Princess of Wales, leaving England in the middle of November, will proceed to Paris, Germany, and Den mark ; afterwards visit Greece and a portion of Asia Minor; finally proceeding up the Nile to the second cataract, accompanied on this part of the journey by Sir Samuel Baker. Under the guidance of so able a cicerone it cannot be doubted that all care will be taken to avoid those sources of danger to health which, to persons unaccustomed to Egyptian travel, often mar the enjoyment of a trip otherwise full of exciting interest. To see all that is to be seen in Upper Egypt involves severe exertion, under taken in a climate which presents great and rapid changes of temperature, the thermometer frequently marking a difference of 50 or CO deg. between day and night, with heavy dew at nightfall. We should imagine the Princess would keep very much on board the dahabeeh which takes her up the Nile, making occasional short visits to the villages contiguous to the shore. Excursions to the various temples inland are performed partly on the backs of donkeys or Arab horses, and partly on foot, and should the traveller not set out at five or six o'clock in the morn ing, these necessitate exposure to a powerful sunshine, succeeded by a temperature which, by comparison, is extremely cold. The heavy dews at night render camping out an extremely hazardous proceeding, especially after a fatiguing day. The risks which must thus be run are, of course, well understood by African travellers and physicians, and under the constant care of Sir Samuel Baker and of Dr. Minter, who also accom panies the royal party, we feel sure that the health of the Princess will never suffer in her journey from evils which judicious foresight can avert.—Lancet.

The Liberal candidate for Oxford University has written the following letter in reply to an inquiry as to his views unon the questions of the day:— "Dangstein, Oct. 21, 1868. "Dear Sir,—l must first thank you for the favour of your letter, and for the desire to be able to support my nomination for Oxford, which you are so good as to express. " Upon some of the points to which your letter refers 1 have publicly expressed my views (as far as at the present juncture of affairs it seemed to me to be necessary and consistent with my duty to do so) in the speech at Rich mond to which you refer. As the reports of that speech which have appeared in the papers have been imperfect and partially inaccurate, I will on my return home to morrow take the liberty of sending you a copy of it, as printed in full for circulation at Richmond. " With reference, however, to any further engagements upon particular points, whether as to a change of Ministry or as to the votes which I may think it proper to give in Parliament, I hope you will excuse me for frankly saying that it would be inconsistent with my sense of the duty and responsibility incumbent upon me at this time if I were to enter into them, either for the purpose of conciliating support or of disarming opposition at Oxford. In all these matters I must, if in Parliament, do the best I can, according to my conscien. tious convictions, for what I truly believe to be the genefal good of the Church and country. If it were necessary to choose between the representation of the university and the power of exercising in difficult and anxious times some practical influence for the good of the university, the Church, and the nation, I should not hesitate to prefer the latter. Malo vos salvos esse, Quirites, qualicunque animo erga me futuri estis.' Whether lam a man who can be trusted or not to exercise a sound judgment, and to act honestly upon it, may (I venture to think) be more safely deter mined by reference to my public conduct during the last twenty years than by any explanations to be given now, with reference to this particular election.--I remain, dear sir. yours faithfully, "ROUNDELL PAL3IER." THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY ON EDUCATION. Wednesday the Marquis of Salisbury distributed the prizes in connection with the Union of Lancashire and Cheshire Institutes, in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester. The chair was occupied by Mr. T. Bazley, M.P.,and amongst those present were Mr. Jacob Bright, 31. P., Sir Edward Watkin, M.P., Mr. Wright Turner, Principal Greenwood (Owens College), Mr. Ernest Jones, &c. The noble Marquis spoke at some length on the subject of education. The edu cational problem we had to solve in this country was not, he said, the Ending of money for the schoolmaster and the school, it was the question how to overcome the indifference of the parent and the strong counter temptation of the money which his child can earn. There are two ways of doing it. You may force, or you may persuade. Within the last few years we had heard proposals, which sound strange to English ear?, of coma ulsory laws for forcing parents to send their children to school, whether they like it or not. " I am not the least surprised," said the noble Marquis, "at these proposals. I don't wonder that ardent minds, filled with a conviction of the advantages which educa tion can confer, should refuse to wait for the long process of conversion, and should be anxious to anticipate by years, it may be by generations, the result which they feel that other wise they in their lifetime would never witness. It is natural for those who are earnestly bent on any great object to be comparatively indifferent to the means, if they are innocent means, by which that object is attained. And they have to say in their behalf, that there are other coun tries, highly educated countries, where compulsion is ap plied, and applied too with a certain amount of success." But the state of things in America and in the countries of continental Europe was very different from that which existed among ourselves. " With regard to tl,e older coun tries of Europe," said Lord Salisbury, " the whole or ganisation of their Governments is different. The :are of the policeman, if I may so speak, on the Continent attends a man from the cradle to the grave. A subject is never out of the sight of his Government. Be its character what it may, be it constitutional or democratic, or imperial, the spirit of minute supervision is still the same. The population are accustomed to bo guided by authority, as authority may wish to guide them ; and they accept the order to go to school as they accept the order to do a hundred other things, they accept it as a part of the natural conditions of their existence. But you know how different it is with us. We have never been accustomed to be drilled and lectured by au hority, and the mere inter ference of the constituted authorities, I regret to say, is very often with Englishmen a sufficient cause why they should set themselves up stiffly against any advice that is tendered to them. Therefore, I confess I view with apprehension these recommendations for compulsory edu cation ; my fear is that if you do not make a great success you will make a tremendous failure. If you do not succeed in driving the children into school, you will drive the parents into opposition to all school ; you will implant in their minds a hatred of education as of something tyrannically imposed upon them, which will do more to hinder your efforts in the future than any slackness or tardiness of which we have to complain now." "A nAlif PER FOR MONITORS."--Under this teading the Pose prints the following letter, signed " Non ..`Tauticus : "—While the great naval Powers are squander 'aig millions in constructing armour-plated vessels impene trable to the heaviest missiles, it maybe worth considering whether there is not an easy and cheap expedient for silencing and mastering those formidable floating batteries. If we should unfortunately be again involved in war, let bur ships be provided with powerful engines to discharge v deluge of cold sea water into the muzzle of every gua, nto every porthole and turret, into the chimney to extin ruish the fire and drive the stokers from the furnace-hold sy a scalding and suffocating vapour, and down the funnel to stop the machinery by condensing the steam which sets it in motion. Then let our intrepid tars board the helpless log, take it in tow, and drag it, without bloodshed, into one of our harbours. This would soon put an end to maritime warfare." UNDERGROUND ROOMS.—Sir, will you allow a plain country parson to enter his solemn protest against the cruelty of builders? Wherever Igo I see great deep holes being dug, in which many of our poor unfortunate countrywomen are to be buried alive. Now, sir, it will be quite time enough to put us underground when we are dead ; until then, pray let us do what we can to keep above ground. It may be difficult to do so in every case, but surely in the suburbs of London, and many other parts, there is no imperative necessity for sinking kitchens as the earth instead of placing them on the earth. Sunken kitchens are so prejudicial to health that few of us would think of placing a valuable horse in one of them. Health, economy, and comfort are all in favour of houses with titchens at the back, on the same floor with the sitting rooms. How houses constructed upon this plan are valued appears from the fact that they are no sooner built than they are immediately taken ; while those built upon the old fashioned plan remain vacant for months, and in many instances for years. Yet the great majority of builders seem to persist in multiplying houses with the terrible drawback of a sunken kitchen; but I am persuaded that as the question of comfort and health is considered, so will sunken kitchens be avoided. I for one will never take a house so constructed, and I think that undergrcun6 servants should strike and go in - for double wages. Builder: will do well to turn their attention to'thia important pattere—Buildfr. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S MEET. CHARGE OF FRAUD.—James Moss, of No. 82, Chancery-lane, bookmaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant, for receiving £1 from Mr. John Willis, naturalist, of Great St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, with intent to defraud him of the same. Mr. Froggatt appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor said that on the 25th September the prisoner called on him and told him that he had the lease of a house at No. 22, Essex-road, Islington, for which he had paid £lOO, at the same time showing him a piece of paper—he could not say whether it was a receipt or not—with £lOO written on it. As he (prosecutor) was desirous of taking the shop of the house No. 22, Essex-road, for a fortnight, for the purposes connected with his business, the prisoner offered to let him have it for a fortnight for £2, and upon the faith of the pri soner having the power to let the shop, he agreed to take it, and paid the prisoner £1 as a deposit. He subsequently ascertained from Mr. Winter, the landlord, that the prisoner never had A lease of the house, and was not in possession of the house at the time he paid him the money. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that he went to the house and found it shut up. Mr. Froggatt said that he had expected other witnesses to be in attendance, but as they were not he should have to ask for a remand and apply for summonses for their attendance. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he did not tell him that he had purchased the lease for £lOO, and show him the receipt for the money. The prosecutor said the prisoner showed him a piece of paper, but he could not say what it was. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he did not give him an I 0 U for the £l, and the pro secutor said he did not. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THREATENING TO MURDER.—Sarah Magness, a low-looking woman, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with threatening to murder Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, of No. 53, Dean street, Soho. The complainant said that on Wednesday last the prisoner came into the passage of the house where she resided, and swore she would take her life, at the same time making use of threatening language. The prisoner then took up a large and sharp stone, and threw it at her with great force, but fortunately it missed her head, at which it was aimed. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, proved apprehending the prisoner, who was well known to him, and who had constantly been in prison. When he told the pri soner the charge, she said, " I'll have her - life; and either have six months, or be hanged at New gate for her." Barnes, the goaler, said the prisoner was such a drunken, worthless character, that her husband could not live with her, but allowed her a main tenance. The only answer to the charge the prisoner made was to abuse the complainant in a scurrilous manner. Sergeant Cole said that, from what he knew of the prisoner, he believed that she was likely to carry out her threat. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that from the prisoner's de meanour he could clearly see that she was a dan gerous woman, who had too much money to spend. He considered her a woman very likely to do what she said, and with the view of protecting her he would order her to find bail to keep the peace for four months. WESTMINSTER. DARING ROBBERY BY BOys.—Thomas Edwards, a boy about 15 or 16 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a gold watch and a sovereign belonging to John Inglish. Prosecutor said he lived at 75, Queen's-road, West Chelsea. A box in his bedroom there had been broken open early this week, and a gold watch and a sovereign stolen. He placed it there on Monday and locked the box, and when he got up on Wednesday morning he found it gone. His belief was that it was stolen by the prisoner on Tuesday evening while he and his father went to a tavern opposite to have a glass together. Mrs. Mary Inglish said that the boy, who had a dimtanb i-olativJ lodging in the house. had been lurking about from place to place for some days past. On Tuesday evening, during the prosecu tor's absence at the house opposite, she met the prisoner coming down the stairs of 75, Q tee road, IVest. Louisa Pease, a little girl, said, that after the robbery she heard the prisoner tell another person that a boy named Begley took him upstairs into the prosecutor's room, broke open the box, and stole the watch and sovereign. Begley gave prisoner half the sovereign, but when he gave him part of the watch, he took it to a shop, and had a new hand put to it. Prisoner—l didn't get a new hand put to the watch. Mr. Selfe— If there wasn't a new hand put to the watch it is pretty evident an old hand took it. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A VERY PAINFUL SCENE.—Robert Merchant, a man about forty years of age, who with difficulty walked into the dock, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 14 lbs. of coals. Robert William, a police-constable, No. 100 K, said he was in Farmer-street, Limehouse this morn ing at seven o'clock, and upon looking over a wall bounding the canal, he saw the prisoner on the top of a barge laden with coals patting some into a bag. He followed the prisoner to kis own door and took him into custody. The prisoner became very " ob stiopolous," and be had much trouble in taking him. There were 141bs. of coals in the bag. The prisoner, who was much agitated and trem bled from head to foot, in a husky voice, said he was very sorry ; he took the coals for the sake of his own dear children at home. There was not a bit of coal, and they were perishing. Mr. Paget—What is the prisoner ? Policeman—He is a carman. Mr. Paget said the prisoner ought to know better than to take coals necessarily exposed on a barge in a canal, and it was a strange thing he should add to his means by thieving. The prisoner—l have a wife and four dear chil dren at home. I have nothing for them to eat, and no fire. lam troubled with asthma, and cannot work. _ Mr. Paget said the prisoner must know that if he and his family were in a destitute condition he could apply to the parish for relief. The Prisoner—Where I am obliged to go every winter. I cannot do any work in the winter. Mr. Paget—l must put the law in force. You are sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. A loud shriek from a female at the back of the court followed the sentence, and she then gave ut terance to loud exclamations for mercy and a re mission of the sentence. The poor woman, who was said to be the prisoner's wife, was removed while she was screaming loudly.
