The "Ids of the Charkoff-Azof Railway Company, with, the Imperial guarantee, will be issued in a few t he by Messrs. R. Raphael and Sons. This line, 'no earthworks of which are said to have been nearly executed by the shareholders' capital (about Q 2, 000,000), is expected to be opened in the course 1 3 s 1 next year, completing the communication from „oral to South, and connecting St. Petersburg and lga with Taganrog and Rostoff.

The new lo an, it is said, is to be issued at a price con al erably in excess of that of last month ; but as that loan has attained 5 premium, there will be no difficulty in such an arrangement. English capi talists, smarting from the panic of 1866, would now r efuse to embark a single shilling in a new joint- Il tock company, whatever might be its character or Prospects. But their folly is only turned from one direction to another; and they will for the present Pour out money to Russia or to the Australian Colonies with as much eagerness as they formerly manifested when they were subscribing to finance shares, A prop is said to ve beenived from th e Italian Government in relation to e its liabili titB on the Cavour Canal.

He was born in 1704, and was educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, where he distinguished himself as a first-class classic. He was after wards College Tutor, Censor, and Public Exa miner ; Perpetual Curate of Cowley, Oxon, in 1823 ; and Rector of West Ty, therley, Hants, from 1827 to 1829, when he was elected Head Master of Harrow School, in which post he remained till he was appointed the first Bishop of Bipon in 1836.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up at Mark-lane this morning was very moderate, but the quality was good. The attendance of millers was limited, and sales in both red and white parcels progressed slowly, at Monday's quotations. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The demand was inactive at about late rates. Floating cargoes of wheat were dull and drooping. Maize and other descriptions of produce afloat were firm n value. Moderate supplies of barley were on sale. The trade was firm, and the value of all description was well sup ported. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at previous quotations. TALLOW.

Ax HISTORICAL EDlFlCE.—Yassengers in St. James's Park have lately observed some workmen em ployed in the demolition of an ugly-looking chapel, not far from the India-offic?. This edifice formed part of a man sion, now the office ()Rho London recruiting district, which formerly was the residence of the notorious J udge Jeffreys. It was here that he; performed his official duties tic hen his court was not sitting, and here ho lived in some little splendour till his committal to the Tower. The entrance to the mansion is from Duke-street; but as a mark of favour, King James 11. granted Jeffreys permission to throw out a flight of stone steps leading to the Park; these still remain and distinguish the house from the others in the same row.—Pall-Mall Gazette.

Sir Stafford Northcote has formed the text of many a Wader in the Liberal journals. He was reported to have Laid that he would not pledge himself against the disestablishment of the Irish Church. From this the inference was drawn that Mr. Disraeli meditated a coup in the matter of the Irish Church, and that Sir Stafford would follow his leader. Mr. Gladstone evidently took that view of the case. In, his speech at Wigan he said : "Sir Stafford Northcote, Secretary of State for India, was asked whether under the circumstances he would resist the disestablishment of the Irish Church ; but he refuses to go to Parliament with a pledge of that kind." Sir Stafford North cote, however, did not intend such an impres sion to go abroad. He is very irate at what the leader of the Opposition has attributed to him, and has written a letter to the right hon. gentleman, by date 'October 25th, in which he says : "This is as nearly as possible the contrary of what I have said, and of what I have written, on this subject. Some weeks ago I received a letter from a constituent, asking me to pledge myself `never under any circumstances,' to consent to the dis establishment of the Church in Ireland. I replied that there was no subject upon which I telt more strongly than this, but that I objected to give a general pledge of the kind demanded upon any subject what ever. Subsequently, when addressing my constituents at Torrington, I was asked whether I would resist the dis establishment of the Irish Church ; I at once answered, I will.' Then, remembering my correspondent's letter, I added something to this effect : In saying that, I don't intend to pledge myself as to what I may do at any time and under any circumstances. I object to pledges of that kind altogether.' You will observe that, instead of refusing to pledge myself under the circumstances' (by which I understand you to mean present circum stances), I distinctly did so only - reserving to myself liberty of action hereafter under circumstances which I cannot foresee." 1341 TIIE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY AT MANCHESTER. The Marquis of Salisbury's greeting at manctiester was most cordial. Both members for Manchester were present, and took part in the proceedings. In answer to the address presented to him by the Chamber of Commerce, the noble marquis, with much modesty, took the compli ment as being paid to India. Of India, therefore, he - spoke. "It gives one a sad and melancholy feeling," said he, " to read the addresses that are issued and the speeches that are made in the numerous constituen cies of this country, to remember that the fate of 180 millions of subjects, with their various interests, their enormous resources, their history and their civilisation, older than your own, is entirely in the hands of the consti tuencies who within the next month will pronounce their verdict, and yet that, with one or two honourable excep tions, these tremendous interests do not so much as attract a passing recognition from those who are entrusted with the responsibility of directing them.. One constituency, at least, is free from this reproach. Manchester has never failed to maintain a constant vigilance over the interests of the people in India, and the affairs of that country; and, as has been justly pointed out in the addresses that have been presented, it is to Mancheste r that many of the most wholesome measures that have been undertaken are principally due." Coming to the details of the Indian administration, he expressed a hope that ere long the currency would be reformed—that a gold would be substituted for a silver currency. " I had enter tained the hope myself that the reorganisation of the currency of India might have been made coincident with some measure for assimilating or' bringing into commensurable proportions the currency of other countries of the world. That, however, appears to be condemned as an idea that it is impossible to carry out, and for the present at least we must resign it. But I earnestly Lope that whenever a gold currency is substituted for a silver currency in India, care will be taken that the unit of Indian currency and the unit of Englisli currency are brought into definite arithmetical proportion. It would be a very lamentable fact if the present approxi mate value of the rupee and the florin were to continue in future, whenever we have an opportunity of changing." He next took up the question of cotton. It was in India, he said, a matter of quality rather than quantity. "There is one matter that deserves passing notice in dealing with that subject. Efforts have been made by Government 'inspection to encourage the production of a better and more cleanly cotton. Those efforts have been resisted, I think, in some cases by persons who appeared to imagine that any interference of Government for the encouragement of the interests of trade was, in some mysterious way or other, a breach of the principlep of free trade. Now, this is a matter in which I think '',.,lanchester may very much help herself. She is jnstly jealous of her renown in carrying the principle of tree trade. It was a matter that was much conteP,ted in times which are anterior to my own polit;.eal existence, but now the acceptance of it is universal, and we appear to have got to .that stage which occurs in the history of every creed when • the faith that has been conquered tends rather to pass into superstition ; and you will hear doctrines fathered • upon the principles of free trade which the original professors of free trade would never have dreamed of, and which really do more to impede free trade than to encourage it. I think that there is no place from which an authoritative voice on such a question can come so well as from Manchester ; and that a well-devised scheme of inspection, improved in its details by the help of such authorities as I see around me, would go very far to encourage the ryot to so improve his commodity that it might meet with better acceptance in your market than it does at present." Then there was the difficulty of conveyance. The authorities were most anxious to construct lines. It would be a great fallacy were they merely to make lines that would pay. " We know by very sad experience in England, many of us, how soon you get to the limit of a railway that will pay. It by no means follows that railways ought not to be constructed by a Government though the rail way will not be able to pay the guarantee which the Government gives upon the capital advanced for its construction ; yet, by scattering wealth all along its path, bystimulating commerce, by opening out the resources of the country, by bringing new ideas to increase the diligence and thrift of the natives of the country, it opens out to the Government new sources of revenue, it makes the people a more tax-paying people than they were before ; and so, through the hands of the tax-gatherer, if not on the surface of the railway account, the Government will be reimbursed for the advances it has made. Therefore, gentlemen, do not be satisfied with the answer that a rail way won't pay. Unless you hear also that the r a il way won't produce wealth enough, and thereby taxes enough, to reimburse the Government, the Government is not dis charged of its duty of carrying on the railway system still further in India." In conclusion the noble marquis referred to the constitution of the Indian Council. " I think the impression generally prevails that the Secretary of State can do whatever he likes, and that he can, of course, be operated upon in the usual manner by represen tatives in the House of Commons. I do not know whether it is sufficiently carried home to your minds that in reference to every question in which expenditure is involved, that is to say, as you well know, in reference to every question of every kind—because I do not believe there is hardly any ques tion in which expendittire' is not involved—the Indian Council have the power of absolute and conclusive veto by a bare majority over the decision of the Secretary of State. And upon the Indian Council, as you well know, the House of Commons has no direct power." In saying this he did not question the wisdom of the arrangement made some time ago. But in that Indian Council the commercial interests were not represented. " I think that, considering the enormous powers that Council pos sesses, it is a pity that its constitution is not more largely tinged with the mercantile element than it is. Do not understand me to say that the Council as at present con stituted wilfully or consciously neglects the interests of merchants ; but you know perfectly well that nobody can look after interests of which he by his own training knows nothing. The eminent lawyer, the eminent engineer, the brave general, the distinguished statesmen, who constitute that Council—for all these characters are fully represented —they have not that minute and detailed knowledge of the wants of the mercantile community which nothing but a mercantile training can afford."

On the health of the noble marquis being drunk lie replied briefly, attributing the splendid hospitality extended to him to the interest this commercial community had in the welfare of India, and to the circumstance of his having been charged with the affairs of that country. On this subject he would only say that the two rules which _ _ should always govern our relations with India were—first, that we should act for the benefit of the inhabitants of India, and secondly, that we should recognise that the great means of uniting England and India was to extend to the utmost their commercial intercourse. He indulged in no such illusion as that India could be prepared for self government and independence of England. We must not attempt to introduce into India an exotic plant that could only wither and fade. Adverting to a remark of the chairman, he said that although the reform of the House of Lords was not one of the subjects of the day, he looked forward to that contingency with nothing of appre hension. Everybody was the better for being looked after, and he would abide by the principle that any institution that could not hold its own ground in free and fair discus sion of its merits should cease to exist. Alluding to the coming election, he said men should be returned who were free and capable, and not mere supple glaves. 01WINAItY SHARES AND STOCKS. iliare Railways. paid.

" CENTRAL C1?1111INAL COURT.—This Day. (Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.) THE CASE OF EADAHE RACHEL. Mr. Gibbon said he had to ask his lordship to make an order to make up the record of the trial according to the facts of the case. The Attorney- General's fiat had been obtained, and the record had been drawn up, but it was desirable that it should be made up according to fact. He did not think there would be any diffi culty in the case. Mr. Commissioner Kerr did not see any objection. The clerk of the arraigns would do. so. Mr. Avery said he should be quite prepared to do so directly, but the only difficulty was what was wanted. Mr. Gibson said all he required was the names of the judicial persons present at each day of the trial. Mr. Avery said the general rule in similar cases was to put down that the trials took place before the whole of the parties. Ile was quite pre pared to do that, but it was in this instance re quired that the names of the persons on the bench, when the trial actually took place, should be inserted. Mr. Gibbon said he only wanted to have it clearly set forth how the Court was constituted on each day of the trial. Mr. Avery said he would do that, but he thought the words "other justices" ought to appear. Mr. Gibbons again objected to that. Mr. Avery said he would so state the matter of the chief contention, viz., whether your lordship had power to try the case. Mr. Gibbon agrtin objected to chief contention being stated. After some further discussion it was arranged IA the record should be drawn up so as to show he constitution of the Court on eats day of the rial. POLICE 1.. V TELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBORO UGLI-S MEET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF BEGGING.—John Bell, a carpenter, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged with begging. Alfred 13eook, 111 C, said that on the previous night he was in Jerinyn-street when he was called by a gentleman who said that he had just given the prisoner, who had begged of him, a sovereign, and that after doing so he believed the prisoner to be an impostor. He took the prisoner to the station, and, after the charge was taken, made inquiries, and found that what the prisoner had toll the gentleman was correct, and having informed the gentleman of the result of his iniuiries he declined to go on with the charge, and gave him a sovereign to hand to the prisoner that morn ing, at 'the same time expre,sing a hope that the matter might be made public that the prisoner might get employment. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no wonder the dis trict was harassed with beg,girs when gentlemen gave persons sovereigns without knowing anything about them. Brook said the prisoner's wife w. 1.3 in a m)st de plorable state. Mr. Tyrwhitt sail the prisoner would b 3 dis charged, but, at the same time, he felt bouni to state that such acts as those of the gentleman were likely to induc3 other persons to become beggars, and counteracted what the law meant to be done. THE MARGUIS TOIVNSIIEND AND THE BEGGARS. Margaret Casey, a woman with a child iu her arms, was charged with begging. The coachman to the Marquis Townsheud proved seeing the prisoner begging in Bond-street ye.tt3r day, and by direction of the Marquis he give her into custody. The Marquis Townshend said that seeing the prisoner begging he directed his coachman to give her into custody. Ha had the prisoner before him (Mr. Tyrwhitt) a few months ago, when she was sent to prison, and as he knew her to be a most violent, drunken woman he thought if she was re manded for a few days some arrangement might be made by which her two eldest children, who were sent into the streets by her to beg, might be sent to a school. The prisoner said the children did not beg, but sold lights. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in remanding the prisoner, re marked that it was a fortunate thing there was a person in the world who interested himself in such matters. THAMES. CHARGE OF FRAUD.—Edgson Bean, a respect able-looking man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with obtaining £1 from Mr. George Cole man, assistant cashier at the Sailors' Home, in Well-street, Whitechapel, by false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Coleman said that on the 21st of the present month the prisoner came to him with a letter, of which the following is . a copy : " Oct. 21.—Seamen's hospital ship Dreadnought to the cashier of Sailors' Home, Well-street, be so kind to send me one pound barier (bearer) Thomas Clarke, has he belongs to the ship.—Yours, D. Mr. Key, i am giten better, butt very slow at present." Mr. Paget marked the letter with his initials, and asked the witness if Mackay had money in the Home. Mr. Coleman—Yes, sir, he has. He is an in valid and a patient in the Dreadnought. I asked the prisoner if his name was Thomas Clarke, to which he replied in the affirmative, and he gave him the money. The prisoner signed his name Thomas Clarke in the book in the usual manner. Yester day I received a second letter from Mackay, warn ing me not to let the prisoner have any money. I saw the prisoner last night and gave him into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said he was a seaman, and that he was a patient on board the Dread naught for 20 days, and Mckay gave him permis sion to write the letter and obtain the money. He was to repay it when he got a ship. He had obtained a berth, and should have got his advance note cashed and sailed that day if he had not been arrested. He asked Mackay to allow him to draw money from the Sailors' Home. Mackay said he had no objections as long as it was repaid again. John Weston, clerk in the Sailors' Home, stated that he saw Mackay in the Dreadnought yesterday, and he was very ill, and could not leave the•hospi tal ship. Mr. Paget—What is the matter with Mtn ? Witness—lle has an ulcer in his leg, and has lost the use of his left arm. Mr. Paget said lie could not proceed with the case without the evidence of Mackay, and directed police constable Macdonald, 102 11, to take the prisoner to the Greenwich Police-court, and request the magistrate presiding there to go on board the Dreadnought and take the evidence of Mackay. Macdonald was thea furnished with the deposi- tions taken by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk of the court, and started at 12 o'clock for Greenwich with the prisoner and witnesses.
