The advices from Brazil by the present mail state that the recent Government loan had advanced to 6to premium. According to a telegram from New York the Supreme Court of that State have granted an in junction to cheek the creation of new stock in the Erie Railway Company, and the other gambling operations by which the property of the shareholders of that line is jeopardisd and rendered unproductive year after year. At the meeting of the G.2raaaa-Austrian tele graph authorities at Carlsruhe a uniform tariff has been agreed upon. For a distance of 26 miles (about 120 English miles) the charge is If. ; for all greater distances 2f. This new tariff is to come into operation on the Ist of July, 1870, whoa the new lines for an increased traffic will have been completed. The Rassian Government have, according to re liable information, decided no further concessions for the issue of guaranteed bonds shall be granted for the present, with the single exception of those of the Charko-Krementschuz line (part of the Mo scow-Odessa line), which, having been granted some months ago, may be offered for subscription a t ho distant date. 4 , Th.

Another of those instructive lessons on " outpost duty," which are usually carried out in Woolwich garrison during the winter months by the Major- General Commanding, Major-General E. C. Warde, C.B:, is ordered for to-day. The troops will form on Woolwich-common in the following order, in two columns, and will march by different routes so as to reach their des tination by eleven o'clock a.m. The first column, under the command of Col. John Adye, C. 8., R.A., consisting of D Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, two batteries of field artillery, and the 7th Brigade Garrison Battery, will march through El tham and Halfway-street, leave Canterbury on its left, and will halt when it arrives at the four cross roads which lead to Bexley, Blendon, Foots Gray, and Halfway-street. From this position outposts will be advanced, and such a disposition made of the force as Col. Adye may deem most judicious, with the view of watching and checking the approach of an enemy supposed to be advancing from the south east, where they will remain in position until they have been visited by the Major-General contraand ing. The second column, under the command of Colonel Phillpotts, Royal Horse Artillery, con sisting of E Battery Royal Horse Artillery, two Batteries of Field Artillery, and the division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, will march by Shooter's-hill and Welling, halting at the eastern end of Dayston-park, from which posi tion outposts will be advanced and such a disposition made of the force under his command as may, in Col. Philpott's opinion, be best calculated to watch the country towards the east. Each column will then throw out vedettes when they have ar rived at their respective positions, with a view of keeping up a connecting communication. On receiving orders to retire, one column, under the command of Col. Adye, will do so by Blendon, Dayston, Welling, and Shooter's-hill, and the other, under the command of Col. Phillpotts, by Plumstead-common. The mounted detachments of Royal Artillery will form the advanced guard of each force in marching out, but may retire inde pendently when returning home.

It was affirmed that a republic had been ?reclaimed at Madrid, and that serious disturbances 'iad broken out in various parts of the kingdom. The mly foundation for any of these reports is the fact ;hat a riot took place at Toledo. More serious, because none likely, is the statement that disagreement exists in ;be French Cabinet, at least to some extent. The official lournals are divided in counsel. The Afoniteur has published pacific article on Lord Stanley's speech, but the Clonstitutionnel cannot conceal its irritation. It is said dial the article in the former paper was rigorously exacted by M. lkfagne, who, care ful 'man, looks to his budget, and wants no 3isturbance. But the tone of the Coneitutionnd clearly proves that Lord Stanley's speech has not been favourably received in the elevated spheres. Ia Prussia, of course, the manifesto at Lynn has been welcomed, though the Cross Gazette publishes a note rejecting Lord Stanley's interrerence between the two countries. The Constitu tionnel eagerly republishes this note, which is ascribed to Count Bismarck. The first series of visitors at Compibgne has returnea, and the second has taken the vacant places. This is much more aristocratic, and includes Lord Lansdowne, Count von Moltke, the Italian Ambassador, and Djemil Pasha. One lady who much desired an invitation, either to this ar the third series, has not received one, and is greatly cha grined thereat. This lady was a short time ago Queen of Spain. She still resides in solitary state at the Pavillon de Rohan, but she has not been received by the Emperor or the Empress. The deputation from Pesaro, which set out for Parts in order to obtain the interment of Rossini in the Italian town, has succeeded in securing the postponement of the funeral until Saturday. The composer's fortune amounts to £5,000 a year. Madame Rossini will have but a life interest in it. At her death the entire sum, excepting the legacies before mentioned, will revert to the town of Pesaro,'on condition that an academy of music be founded there. It appears that four or five days before his death Rossini sent for the Abbi Gallet, of St. Roch, and, after confessing to that ecclesiastic, received the last sacraments, saying, " I have been represented to be a sceptic—a sort of Machiavelli ; let it be understood, on the contrary, that I am happy in dying a good Catholic." M. Arman, the great shipbuilder of Bordeaux, who was pronounced a bankrupt against his will, has appealed against this judgment. The judges have, however, con firmed it. He argued that his estate was solvent, his balance•sheet showing the assets to be considerably in excess of the liabilities. But the evidence proved that for more than a year past he had paid his bills only after legal proceedings, instead of honouring them when they became due. The _ daily health bulletin has become an important item of news. The mortality amongst the distinguished men of France has been unusually great during the past few weeks. M. Benyer has received extreme unction, M. Lamartine is in a dangerous state, and the news of M. Montalembert is scarcely more favourable. The Government is said to be attempting an odd manoeuvre. It is trying to buy at any price a number of the shares of the Siecle, a Republican paper, and the most widely-circulated in France. THE ?FEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. --~- I'ULICE 1 V I ELLIGENCE,--This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S MEET. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT ON A CABDRIVER.-•••••ThOS. Hogan, a rough-looking fellow, and Ann Smith, a young woman, were chargei Mora Mr. D'Eyn court with assaulting James Buckingham, a cab driver. From the evidence of the complainant it ap peared that about one o'clock that morning he set down a lady and gentleman near the corner of Tich borne-street, and while doing so Hogan pushed a gentleman against him. The complainant stepped a little aside, and Hogan then attacked him right and left, and gave him I two blows under the ear which knocked him under his horse. On getting up the complainant seized Hogan and held him, with the intention of giving him into custody, when Smith came up, and with a stone or some hard sub stance in her hand, struck the complainant on the back of the heal. Sergeant Redford, C division, and Wm. Cane, 35 C, proved taking the prisoners into custody. Hogan, in his defence, said that the complainant had assaulted his (Hogan's) wife. The complainant denied having done so, and said that he had not been at the spot more than a minute when Hogan attacked him. A constable said that Hogan had been charged at Bow-street with assaulting him, and Mr. Vaughan promised that if he came there again he would send him for trial, and he knew Hogan as the companion of thieves. Hogan called a witness, who said that the corn plainant had knocked llogan's wife down. Mr. D'Eyncourt expressed his intention of send ing the prisoner for trial. On llogan's witnets being recalled it was found that he had slunk out of the court, he having been recognised by some of the officers from Bow-street as an associate of some of the most notorious thieves in the metropolis. Cane said that Hogan's wife was also in custoJy for disorderly conduct. Mr. D'Eyncourt ordered her to be brought for ward and placed at the bar, and she gave the name of Jane Hogan. The case having been proved against her, Mr. D'Eyncourt asked her if she remembered being struck, and at first she said she was so drunk that she did not, but afterwards she said the complainant struck her, but she did not think ho hurt her. Mr. l)'Eyncourt committed Jane Hogan for seven days with hard labour for disorderly and drunken conduct, and the other prisoners for trial for the assault. SHARE LIST.

Barometrical pressures have altered very little since yesterday morning ; the greatest change has been in the extreme north, whore an increase of about Olin. is perceived. Since last evening, however, a slight decrease is noted in the S.W. There is a difference between readings at Nairn and Rochefort of four-tenths of an itch. Tem perature is nearly the same as yesterday. Winds have continued easterly, and were fresh in the Channel, Lighter winds generally prevail this morning, with a southerly tendency in Ireland. In th north calms are reported. The weather is generally overcasts ALLEGED IMPROPER CONDUCT AT AN ELECTION. At Marylebone Police -court yesterday a voter stepped into the box and said he wished Mr. D'Eyncourt's advice undert the following circumstances :—lfe wont to record his vote► In the SL Mary's district, Bryanston-square. Ho told tho poll-clerk most distinctly that he wished to have his vote recorded for Sandwith and Grant. The clerk put his name down, and on his (applicant) looking found it had been put down as plumping for Mr. Chambers. Applicant told the clerk of it, and he said it was a mistake, and altered it. Mr. D'Eyncourt said perhaps it was an unintentional mistake. Applicant said ho considered not, as he had heard that several other voters had been served the same. The clerk evidently did it for the purpose, as he laughed in biA face. Mr. D'Eyuccurt told applicant that his best course would be to lay his case before the committee of the district, and they, no doubt, will demand a scrutiny. Applicant—The declaration of the poll takes place at eleven o'clock. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Go at once to your committee, and then they will lay an information to the returning officer, who perhaps will stop the declaration. THE CHURCH PAPERS ON T 1 1 .4 Ai'l ; OINT MENTS. The Guardian is satisfied with the episcopal appoint ments, It declares that the Bishop of London is one of the ablest members of the episcopate ; he has political judgment and capacity, is firm, and can be fair and con• siderate. The Bishop of Lincoln's appointment will be more satisfactory to the Low Churchparty than with extreme Ritualists. Archdeacon Wordsworth's promotion is but the recognition of long-enduring claims. Altogether, the Guardian congratulates Mr. Disraeli on his selections. The Church News of WedneSday thus comments on the appointment to the Archbishopric of Canterbury:—" The appointment of Dr. Tait, a strong Liberal and avowed Eras tian, to the Primacy of All England, by a ToryGovernment,is certainly a heavy blow and great discouragement to all Catholic Constitutionalists. When it is borne in mind, however, how earnestly the supposed claims of the Broad Church 'Father Claret' have been insisted on, the diffieultieb of unfettered action on W. pro.. or , . part may be better comprehended." In case Dr. Jackson is elevated to the see of London the Church News threatens Mr. Disraeli with the neutrality of the country clergy during the elections. The Rock rather highly approves the appointment, but hopes that Dr. Tait, whose failings, it says, have always " leaned to virtue's side," will, with his increased respon sibilities, display more vieour in dealing with Ritualism and Rationalism. Prisoner was accominolatal with a seat, in con scquenc3 of his weak state. Henry Bailee, 379 T, said on Saturday, the 31st ult., he was called to the Sun-court, Chelsea, and found the prisoner standing on the bed with his throat cut, his wife being in the room:with a wound on her head; fiuding.they were both much injured he took them to the hospital, and the woman was t y' discharged on the following Monday. The pri -5 goner had remained in custody ever since. 2 Mr. Arnold asked what evidence there was that 6 he had cut his thro a t. 4 5 James Email, the younger, was called, and stated that on the day in question his mother was drunk 1- 2 and abused his father; she then threw something at him, and he in retaliation took a vase off the 2 mantelpiece, and threw it at her. It struck her on the head, and she f e ll insensible. His father bathed g the wound, but she remained unconscious. The 3 witness said she was dead. The prisoner then went - 2 to a drawer and took out a knife, with which be cut his throat. The knife had not bun found. 2 Mr. Arnold said th e pr i soner and his wife ap _ peared to be an amiable couple. He remanded pri : Boner for a week in order that the chaplain at the House of Detention might see him, and reason with 4 him against the repetition of so rash and foolish an act. 111ARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY, CO LONI A L .

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—James Exall, a respect able-looking man, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by cutting his throat at Chelsea on October 31. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Richard Keating, a lad about 16 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget with stealing a bag containing £l4 from an elderly gentleman, name unknown. Police-sergeant Dunaway, a detective officer, stated that ho took the prisoner ito custody yester day, and, from information he received, he believed that the prisoner was concerned with another lad in assaulting and robbing Mr. Thomas Withers, of King's Lynn, Norfolk. The robbery was a very daring one. Mr. Withers came up from King's Lynn Ito pay an account to a publican in Rosemary-lane, and he was accosted in Dock street by two boys. One of them made a snatch at his hat and said I'll buy that hat of you. The witness raised his hands to protect his hat, and the other boy took his purse and keys out of his left hand trousers pocket, dropped the keys on the pavement, and escaped with the money. The boys were pursued but they soon outstepped their pur suers. Mr. Withers had only 10d. remaining in his pockets after his gold was taken, and he was indebted to the publican, his creditor, for the means of returning to Kings-Lynn. James Macarthy, aged 14 years of age, said the prisoner was one of the boys who committed the robbery. He saw the prisoner running, and the old gentleman pursuing him. Dunaway—Will you grant me a summons for the attendance of the gentleman that was robbed ? Mr. Paget—Certainly I will. The prisoner is re manded for a week. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 12.
