Consols improved a trifle to-day, and for a Satur day business was rather active, the cause being an unexpected rise in the Bank rate at the beginning of the ensuing week.

The steamer Galileo, at Lisbon yesterday for Lirerpool, brings later dates from Brazil, but no important commercial news. She has £lB,OOO specie. The Secretary for India in Council has given notice that the amount for which tenders for bills of exchange on Calcutta and Madras will be re ceived at the Bank of England on Wednesday, the 18th instant, will be 20,00,000 rupees. It has been determined by those creditors of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, who commenced proceedings in Chan cery for winding up the company, to withdraw the petition. The contractors of the Honduras luteroceanic Railway, Messrs. Waring Brothers, have made ar rangements for the shipment of all the plant required for the first section of the railway. The Crown Agents for the Colonies have notified their intention to redeem on the 15th instant, on Which day they will mature, the Ceylon Govern ment Six per Cent. Debentures, created under Ord nance 10 of 18G0. Telegraphic advices from Melbourne state the Legislature has passed the bill authorising a loan of £2,100,000 for the proposed railway to the Upper Murray district. It is probable that sub scriptions for this amount will shortly be invited here. The new company for the International Simpliu hue to Italy is about to issue a new loan for £ 1 ,200,000, through the medium of 131,166 obli gations at the price of 240 f. The interest payable Will be equal to about 6 per cent. An agent is now in London empowered to carry out the ope ration. The Peruvian journals last received contain some particulars of the intended loan for railway pur poses. It appears that the amount authorised is 50,000,000 dols (about ten millions sterling), and tbat the security proposed is of the nature of a Second mortgage on the Guano Islands. The history of a concern called the Washoe United Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining Com pany (Limited) has just been furnisbed in a circular from its liquidators to the creditors. The company was started with a proposed capital of £lOO,OOO in Shares of £5 each, which have been paid in full, and therefore offer no further resource for the creditors, Whose claims still amount to 21,000, and who have nothing to look to but the assets. These assets consist of £3O worth of furniture in this country a nd £5,000 in paid-up shares of an undertaking called the Nevada Land and Mining Company. portion of the debts consist of loan notes issued at the rate of 33 per cent. per annum interest, Which must be paid before any other claim, and t he general creditors are, therefore, informed that t hey must not look for a dividend of any kind. In -e to the way in which the capital of £lOO,OOO Zan Squandered nothing probably will ever be 4nOWn. new pigment found in New Jersey is stated Le have been brought into use is America which is ik elY to have an important influence on the white l ead trade. It is not only suitable as a paint for t he of all kinds, but is specially adapted for die coating of ships' bottoms, as the particles of copper in the combination are fatal to animal life. The failure of Mr. F. W. Hancock, trading under th e firm of F. H. Hancock and Co., underwriters a " insurance brokers, has been announced, but the u a bilities are not expected to be large.

The Court sat to-day for the hearing of appeals from the decision of the revising barristers, and the first case taken involved the important question as to whether women were eneitled to the franchise. CHARLTON RESPONDENT AND LINGE APPELLANT. This was the Miss Becker case. The statement sent up from Manchester by the revising -barrister set out that the name of Mary Abbott appeared on the list as the occupier of a house, and it was ad mitted there was no disqualification but her sex. The revising-barrister held that women were not entitled to vote, and he expunged the name from the list, and those of 5,346 other names. This was the decision appealed against. Mr. Coleridge appeared for the appellant, and contended that women had a right to the franchise in ancient times and that modern legislation had not taken away the right. The Chief Justice observed that it appeared the learned gentleman relied not on the act of Parlia ment, but on the common law. Mr. Coleridge replied that that might give a separate point of argument, but for the present he proposed to argue the question in the terms in which he had stated. The Lord Chief Justice—You contend that every wan and every woman has the right to vote ? Mr. Coleridge said if he were asked he must say that was so. He proposed to show th at in ancient times there was no difference between the sexes as to the exercise of the franchise. The Lord Chief Justice said—Then the argu ment must go the length that the right of men had been limited, but not those of women. Mr. Coleridge said he must be allowed to repeat that he proposed to proceed with his proposition in the terms he had already stated. The learned gentleman then proceeded to enter into the ques tion, which he did at great length, and concluded as he had commenced, name Iy, contending tha women had the right to vote. Mr Mellish supported the decision of the Revising Barrister, and contended his learned friend had altogether failed to mak e out a case to justify the decision being put aside. MARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY.

The supply of hothouse fruit is sufficient for the de mands, and out-door produce plentiful. Foreign melons are scarce. Oranges are still received from Madeira and Malaga. STEPPING INTELLIGENCE. GRAVESEND, Saturday Morning. Arrived, Nov. 6.—Souvenir, steamer, from Brussels; Melita., from Berdianski.

THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY.—Last even ing the members of this excellent society assembled at the George Hotel, Aldermanbury, in considerable force, the occasion being a " programme night." The selection, generally speaking, was good, but the executive must be very careful they do not retard their progress, and this they are very likely to do if they sanction the repetition of such silly and pointless pro ductions as the burlesque of "Galatea." Such things are altogether foreign to the ob , jects of the society, and calculated to injure the prosperity to which it has attained. The "burlesque" had literally nothing to recommend it, and it only occu pied the time that might have beed devOted to really good music. It is particularly gratifying to find that the melancholy and vulgar comicalities of the "great" music hall comic singers falls particularly flat at the Excelsior Society; it shows that if the , selections of some of its members cannot be controlled, at least the audience do not approve the judgment of the parties who so off end against good taste. We have to compliment Mr. Johnson for his excellent rendering of Schubert's "Wan derer ;" Mr. Gillard sang Richardt's ballad "Love's Re quest with much taste and sweetness, and we should have been glad to say as much for Mr. S taker, but he took upon himself the task of improving Sir Henry. Bis hop's "Pil grim of Love," a work he must pardon us for saying he is not quite equal to. Mr. Manby sang Wallace's "Home of My Heart" very nicely, and Mr. Vigay gave a very effective rendering of " Oh rudier than the Cherry." A little mole taste and little less effort will greatly im prove this gentleman's singing. There were a variety of part songs sung during the evening, but they had not been practised sufficiently. If we cannot compliment everything done last evening it arises simply from a wish to see the Excelsior take its proper place amongst the good musical societies of the metropolis, and certainly not from a desire to depreciate the abilities of any of the vocalists. CORNISH TICKETING.—TRURO, Thursday.--At Redruth this day 1,717 tons of copper ore realised £7,686 10s., an average of £4 9s. per ton ; fine copper, 123 tons 6 cwt. ; produce 7}; standard, £lool3s.

RICTIMOND.-All our horses aro well and our Derby horse Ladas is improving daily, and we have a lot of very promising yearlings. With respect to the Shrewsbury Meeting, I have not seen the programme, and all I can say at present is that Buttercup and Last Rose of Summer will be sent. NEWMARKET.—On Wednesday, on the Bury side, but little was going on. Python and Pirate Chief galloped. Matthew Dawson was on the race-ground, and galloped Clemonce about a mile and a half. Leonia, Contempt, Pericles, Glen Rosa, Pladda, Silenus, and Head Centre did a good amount of work. Bloss's lot only cantered steadily. Thursday.—Matti ew Dawson was on the race-ground side, and sent Glen Rosa and Pladda a rattler about three quarters of a mile up the trial ground. Chatelherault, Wild Oats, Goatfell, Lady Dar,and one or two fresh ones, cantered up the Cambridgeshire Rill. Bloss's did only healthy exer cis,, the pri:.cipal horses bcing away from house. Be u volen o went a useful gallop. Cletuoneo galloppod a mile with Bello of Warwick. Kaupti was doing goo.' work for some engagement. John Dawson has Nine Seville Nelly Rose, Queen of Italy, and Furious going well, and they are no doubt intended for Warwick. Mount Pala-' tine, Blue Peter, and Cheltenham are doing good work. Knight Errant is turned oat of training. La ly Coventry has done no work since this day week. Distaff has done well, and left here on Thursday. Amongst Bloss's lot, doing the most work, aro Pearlfeather, Chanoinesse, Car lotta, and Indigestion Friday—There was a sharp frost, and nothing was going on up to the time of post. STOCKBRIDGE.—On Wednesday the following horses were out from Danebury, and cantered as follows :—Red Rice led Oliver Cromwell, Stanhope, Canning, Glenlyon, and Torment colt. Beata led Flight colt, Lady Louisa c, Lord Chancellor, and Lady Dupplin. All went about throe-quarters of a mile. Cock of the Walk went a mile by himself. Tom Day was out with Paris and six year lings, and all did some nice canters twice or three times. On Thursday the same lot canteredagain, with the excep tion of Canning, who walked. Prince of Wales cantered. On Friday the same lot were out again from both places, and exactly the same lot cantered as the day previous. Then Paris went a nice gallop by himself, and he goes vary well. Cock of the Walk went a nice gallop of a mile and a half by himself, and he went well. I expect Cock of the Walk and Paris will be wanted at Shrewsbury or Warwick, by the work they are doing. KlNGSCLEnE.—Wodnesday was a blank day hero:as-re gards training, as it rained, with high wind, during the day. No horses were out. Thursday. —A fine healthy morning. Clarke brought out Lictor, Blue Gown, Morna, Siderolite, Nyl Gau, King Cophetua, Masterstoke, Blue Stocking, Waif, and Madame Eglantine filly going to the Cannon Heath downs, where some healthy exercise was done; Nyl Gau, with the yearlings, cantering twice a mile. Pero Gomez was not out, but is in the best of health. .EIEDNESFORD. — We had a fall of snow here during Wed nesday night, but it did not stop our several teams from doing their usual work on the following morning. FISIDON.—As nearly all our horses engaged at Shrews bury are at Liverpool, they will in all probability be sent 'Erect from there, and it would be useless for me to say anything about them, more than that when I last saw them no horses could look better. Shrewsbury Cup. We have Romping Girl, filly by Newminster out of Irish Queen, and Di Vernon. The latter I have not seen for some time at exercise. Romping Girl has gone away t, try some horses; the Irish Queen filly is not doing well. The E trl and Lady Elizabeth are walking, as well as Tasman and Martinique. MALTON.—AII our horses are well, and by the work that Viscount, Zapolya, and Taraban are doing, I think they will be sent to Shrewsbury. ILSLEY.—There is very little doing here this week, as a lot of our horses are at Liverpool. The following are well and in work for their Shrewsbury engagements:— Ironmaster, Amour Propre, King of the Rovers, Dunbar, Belfast, Airdrie, and Alias, and they do their work in good form. MIDDLEHAM, Wednesday.—Of Dawson's, Marking Ink Damsel filly, Mandrake, Pretender, Thorwaldsen, and Lord Hawthorn were only walking, the Derby horses looking fresh and well. Fobert's team only did steady exercise. "Winter sent Three per Cent. a nice gallop of two miles, Affection doing mile and a quarter work. Lye's Donato and Fleets did mile work, as did also Osborne's Weather Star and Colsterdale colt. Thursday.—We had very little doing. Dawson sent the Dean, Corporal, Donaldbain, Minster Bell, Argyle, Footlight, Calistoga, Marking Ink, and Damsel filly three nice sharp spins of a mile and a quarter. The rest of his team were only walking. Win ter's Three per Cant. and Affection did steady work, as did Osborne's Weather Star and Colsterdale, and Lye's Comus and Boreas. Fobert's team were cantering. Nuage, Terre-a-Terre, Nation, and Decision have left for France. Tabouret and Mercury left for Liverpool. Slap Bang has left Osborne's and gone to Newcastle. Corporal is doing good work for the Wynnstay Welter Cup at Shrewsbury. Carnival Nursery.—Hymon is at Liverp >el. Cleveland Plab.—Affection and Corporal are in good work. Shrews bury Cup.—Minster Ball is in work again, but as she has been off lately, 1 cannot stand her, and Mandrake has not done any work these last few days. Battlefield Handicap. —Donaldbain is going in rare form, but he is well in the Column, for which I think he has a groat chance. FYFIELD.—At Shrewsbury, in the Battlefield Handicap we have Dulcet engaged. She is well, and doing good work, but I think the distance is a little too far Or her. Monkmoor Handicap.—Engraver I shall not recommend on this occasion. Column Handicap.—Skipj Lek and Citron are both fit and well, but at present I like Skipjack the best. LAMBOURNE. —I don't think we shall have many horses for Shrewsbury next week, for it looks to me as if most of ours have done running for the season. Edith and Giantess, however, I believe, will run at Warwick. In the Battle field Handicap, at Shrewsbury, we have Vortigorn and Cawdor, but I don't think either will go. Shrewsbury Cup.—Mexico left here for Newmarket, and has not re turned. Cawdor and Rahab are in the Monkmoor Handi cap, but I think will stay at home. CHILTON. —On Tuesday Osprey, after having ono stealy canter of a mile, was sent the two-mile gallop at a good pace, going very well. Triana did one good gallop of a mile by herself. Virginia Creeper led the following three quarters of a mile twice :—Lady Lurewell filly, Careful, Triton, Trickstress filly, and the Wingrave colt. Wed nesday—The wet coming on there was not much work got through with the first lot. Triana, galloped a mile at a good pace, and Osprey led the following a half-speed gollop of three-quarters:—Chateau Margaux, Nelly, S ul phur filly, Lady Egidia, filly, and the Knight of Kars colt. There was more doing with the afternoon lot. Virginia Creeper, after leading the Lady Lurewell filly, Careful, and a lot of the youngsters three canters, was taken to the Chilton Bottom by herself and sent the two-mile gallop, going well. The report is that she has lost her form, but this is not the case, as the mare goes as well as ever, and will win a race before the season is over. This day (Thursday) Triana led her two miles at a strong pace, the old mare not turning a hair. She is engaged in the Shrewsbury Cup, with the light weight of 6st 41b, and she ought to be in the front rank. Cleveland Plate—We have Chateau Margaux and Black Boy. I have not seen the weights, but the former will be the bust, and she will not have much chance. Battlefield Handicap—We have Actan, Osprey, and Black Boy in, but 1 don't know if either has accepted. However, I shall go for Osprey, and if he is left in he ought to about win, as he is a good horse when wanted. STANTON.—At Shrewsbury we have Lady Evelyn filly, Archeress, Tarquin, Lord of the Valley, and Palmitin° engaged in the Carnival Nursery, and whichever is in tended will be very dangerous. Cleveland Plato—Catton and The Returned are entered. The last named is an in firm horse, but, should he be sent to the post sound, he will take his own part. True Heart is in the Autumn Steeplechase, but I think he will not be wanted yet. We have Jezabel accepted in the Shrewsbury Cup, with a light impost; she may be one of the first three, but I don't think she is class good enough to win. Your sub scribers had better see Jeannie Deans's number up for the Battlefield Handicap before they mtddle with her. Fidelia is in the Column Handicap ; should they ask her, she will be able to take her own part. Monkinoor Handicap.- We have Parma, Salliet, Catton, and Isis in, but it is uncer tain which will run. Tankerville Nursery.—We have Archeress filly, Lady Evelyn filly, Abyssinia, Lord of the Valley, and Palmatine. The best will be very dangerous. Tarquin and Lord of the Valley are in the Shobdon Cup. I like the last named' s chance. Newport Gold Cup.— Fidelia and See• Saw are entered, and from the Cambridge shire running it looks like a gift for the last named. EpSOM.—Since my last Nightingall has been busy each morning with Warlike, Otho, Cecil, Diamond, a nd Glen Stuart. Sherwood has been sending Marquis of Worces ter, Charlatan, Malcolm, Bonnie Kattie, and Antias two nice mile gallops each morning. Reeves is keening Lord Derby, Roving Maid, Nanny Thormanby, and Juanita in good work. Potter is setting Lichee, Balder, Patience, Northill, and Lady Glencorn some good long work. Tomlinson is doing plenty with Foxholes, Columbia, Lord Ronald, Rampart, Evelina, Captain Crosstree, Bannock burn, Wild Huntsman mare, Miss Skerratt, and one or two more. Bentley is doing well with The Laird, Skirmish, Chivalry, Onyx, Slowman, and Ampleforth, I expect with an eye to Warwick. At Shrewsbury, in the Autumn Steeplechase, we have Helice, Despatch, Golden Cross. L. S. 0., and Captain Crosstree. The first-named will find the company too good for her, " the Captain" is not forward enough in preparation, and the others belong to Mr. Studd, so that 1 have no fancy for aay of them. Battlefield Handicap.—We have Marquis of Worcester, Herennianus, and Seringapatam, the latter of whom will about win. Shrewsbury Cup.—Lord Ronald, Ackwortb, and Redcap are our lot, but 1 cannot recommend them. Scriugapatam and Marquis of Worcester are also in the Monkmoor Handicap, and Lord Ronald is in the Column Plate and Hawkstone Welter Cup, but as he has been taking lessons in jumping lately, and he takes to it very kindly, I think we shall in future hear ,)f hint to adyant age dyer hurdles.
