S ince that date the remittances received have amounted to £7,556, which, added to the sum in h and, will make £8,656, thus leaving a deficit of Only about £464 from the total necessary to enable payment of the dividend due in May, 1867. After 8401 payments there will still remain £1 103. owing 01 1 every £lOO bond, including dividend due next month.

Tho appre hension of temporary disquietules in some of the P r incipal cities from the dearness of bread conse quent on the disastrous harvest is probably ono cause of the feeling of distrust ; but it is suggested, froll l the heavy amounts of stock with which the 1. raridon and Paris markets have been supplied, that go and continuous realisations may have been effected by the ex-Queen and her adherents, anxious t° Withdraw their wealth from a country in which it Can hardly be doubted they will henceforth use "Very effort to stimulate internal discord.

The report of the directors of the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company has been issued. T he cause of the suspension of the dividend is the de crease of the traffic through the Brazil and " r araguayan war, the hurricane in the West Indies, a nd the unfavourable state of trade.

The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to day was very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good. Millers showed no disposition to operate freely, and had factors pressed sales, lower prices must have been submitted to. No actual chang4, however, took place. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The fineness of our own wheat checks the inquiry for fine foreign produce, and hence the trade was slow, at about the prices of Monday last. The supply of barley on sal© was very moderate. Malt- Jug produce was in request, and sold at full prices. Other descriptions commanded previous rates. For malt the trado was firm, at quite last week's cur rency. English oats were in short supply, but with Russian descriptions the market was well supplied. All descrip tions sold freely, at fully the late improvement in the quotations. _ Beans, which were in short supply, were firm at full currencies. Peas commanded the prices of Monday last, and the trade was firm. The market was scantily oupplied both with English and foreign produce. -- - - ' Flour, both English and foreign, moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Linseed was firm, and prices had an upward tendency. In the value of rapeseed no change took place. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supply of beasts is much shorter than on Monday last. The average quality is still very iaforior ; choice kinds consequently maintain late prices. There are not quite so many sheep as on this day week, but quite equal to the demand. Trade is very slow and prices aro no better. Calves are lower. Our foreign supply consists of 2,632 beasts and 87 calves. From Scotland there are 48 beasts ; Ireland, 277 ; and 2,002 from the midland and the home counties. BOROUGH HOP. Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report the market remains unchanged. Choice samples are more particularly in quired for, late rates being maintained. Middling and in ferior aro firm, at last weeks prices. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. The October Session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 101 prisoners, and the offences are thus classified :—Arson, 3; bigamy, 13 ; uttering coun terfeit coin 12 ; forgery, 13 ; horse-stealing, 1 ; larceny, 23 ; letter-stealing, 4 ; manslaughter, 7 ; murder, 1 ; misdemeanour, 5 ; perjury, 1 ; rape, 1; feloniously receiving stolen goods, 5 ; robbery with violence, 5 ; feloniously wounding, 6. A CHARGE OF FORGERY. Mr. F. H. Lewis made au application of a rather peculiar character in reference to the case of a pri soner named Arthur Richard Bolton, who is charged with forgery. Upon the hearing before the Lord Mayor there appeared to be grounds for believing that the prisoner was of unsound mind at the time the alleged offence was committed, and the Lord Mayor allowed the prisoner to find bail for his ap pearance to take his trial. Under these circum stances he had to apply to the Court to allow the recognizances of the witnesses for the prosecution to be discharged, and that no prosecution should take place. The application was granted. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. DEAL, Monday Morning. Passed, Oct. 25.—Sydnoy Hall, screw steamer, for Mo gador ; Copernicus, screw steamer, for Liverpool Edith, screw steamer, for Theodosia ; Lady Harwood, for Barba dos—all from London. Anchored.—Breslau, ship, from Dantzic, for Bordeaux. The last Isthmus California steamer brings the news of the assassination of Wm. Parker, chief super intendent of the Panama Railroad, by Jas. L. Baldwin, a civil engineer of the road, at Aspinall on the 24th ult. Mr. Parker will be remembered in Massachusetts as the principal builder :and first superintendent of the Boston and Worcester Railroad, whose affairs he managed for several years. Subsequently he becatue president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and, later still, of the Boston and Lowell. When called to the Panama Rail road, seven years ago, he was consulting engineer of the European and North American line at St. John's, N. B. Baldwin, who shot Mr. Parker in cold blood, has a family at Troy, N.Y. Aft er comm itti ng the crime ho shot himself in the head, though by last accounts he was alive.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. G. W. Hunt, has just issued his address to his constituents in North Northamptonshire, as follows : "Since the last occasion of my addressing you, the ques tion of how to deal with the ecclesiastical settkment of Ireland has assumed a prominent importance. The pro position that has been made to disestablish and disen dow the Church in that part of the United Kingdom appears to me to be a rash and violent expedient, unjust to the members of that communion, and not likely to be accepted as a final settlement by the Roman Catholic population of that country. I am strongly opposed to such a solution of the difficulty. To leave a part of the kingdom without any provision for the maintenance of public worship would be, to my mind, a grave dereliction of duty on the part of the State, and, a proclamation of its indifference to the religious interests of the people. I see in the proposal a step towards the entire disruption of the connection between Church and State, which I consider an essential part of the constitution of the kingdom. Since my entrance upon public life in 1852, I have always declared my willingness to entertain the question of an extension of the franchise, and I trust that the measures for the amendment of the representation of the people in Parliament, which have been passed under the auspices of the present Government, will be considered by all moderate men as both liberal and sound, and calcu lated to prevent further agitation upon the subject. I shall be much disappointed if the corruption which has so long degraded the exercise of the franchise in many of our boroughs is not considerably diminished by the operation of the Act passed in the last session with that object. The depression of trade and the want of confi dence which has been for some time felt in commercial enterprises have made the administration of the finances of the country a task of more than usual anxiety ; I feel assured, however, that the darkest hour has already passed away, and that we may look forward to the future with confidence and hope. It has been the endeavour of her Majesty's Government to keep down the expenditure of the country to the lowest limit, compatible with the efficiency of the public service, and such endeavours will still be persevered in. To squander public money upon objects of secondary importance is, in my opinion, much to be reprehended; while, on the other hand, to decline the responsibility of sanctioning expenditure proved to be necessary for the highest purposes of the State is to exhibit a moral cowardice deserving of grave reprobation. Since my accession to my present office I have devoted much of my time to a scheme for placing in the hands of the Postmaster- General the telegraphic communications of the country, which will, I am persuaded, be of enduring advantage to the community. In conjunction with my present colleague in the representation of this division, I now appeal to the enlarged constituency to honour me with their confidence at the approaching electiOn."

Among the papers read at the annual meeting of the Southern Counties Adult Education Society, held at Southampton on Thursday evening, was one by Professor Kingsley on "The Educational Value of Industrial Exhi bitions." Mr. Kingsley based his observations on the success of an exhibition held in his own as one of five parishes in North Hants, where, out of a population of 4,000, 400 contributed, of whom about 350 belonged to the lower middle class ; and 1,300 of the poor, besides 1,200 of the middle and upper classes, visited it. He then offered some characteristic reflections on that exhibition as regards the agricultural labourer, respecting whom complaints come on all hands—they are not skilled, their morals and general condition are not improving, and the young men, though better fed and paid than their grand fathers were, are not better off, and are growing more shiftless and thriftless every year. The large farm system has exterminated the small cottier Jack-of-all trades, and it is now painful to see how, when you ask an average labourer to do anything be is not accustomed to do by mechanical habit, he is at fault, not becouse he is lazy, careless, or stupid, but that he has no resources and no faith in himself. When he looked from Lis pulpit at the large and well-formed brains, the delicate features of his own kindly and graceful-mannered people, and con trasted the small amount of intellectual activity which can be got out of them with the energy of the coarser voiced and coarser mannered Northumbrian or Scot (who is meanwhile fully their equal in Moral worth), he seemed to be looking at the results, not of an undeveloped barbarism, but of a worn-out civilisation; and his opinion was, that unless they could awaken the constructive intellect of their southern men, the northerners would beat them out of the field. The ablest and cleverest of their young men now migrate to London and the great towns, and the only possible coun teraction he col,' foresee was a revivification of the southern folk by northerners, by intermarriage, for example, or rivalry. Meantime something may be done by these industrial exhibitions if kept up periodically; but it is not merely the receptive intellect which requires to be excited —it is the constructive. As for the habit of boozing in public-houses, wherever in a cold, damp, depressirg climate you have tired peasants, with undeveloped intellect, and tolerably full purses, they will booze just as you see the Dutch boors of the seventeenth century boozing in the pictures of Teniers or Ostade ; just as William Langland saw the Worcestershire peasants boozing in the latter half of the fourteenth cen tury—with this exception, that the ale was good then, which is more than can be said of it in these days of salt and water, cocculus indicus, grains of Paradise, and the other poisons for promoting thirst and stupefaction, So it went then, and so he feared it must go now, from bad to worse, as long as insane laws or faulty laws permit the beerhouse to be brought to every man's door, and gar nished with two attractions which he would not specify. For the poor lads there are great excuses. The days are gone by when, in England at least, the whole family sat round the fireside, cheerful and comfortable, though in a miserable cabin, while the old grandmother told fairy tales or crooned ballads, and the girls knitted or spun or made their own clothes or their brothers' ; and the fathers and sons each had his handiwork. It might be said that they ought to read in this day of books and tracts, but reading for any length of time is very hard work to the uneducated mind, especially after a heavy day's labour ; and to listen to reading if the hands are unemployed very hard work also ; while reading costs candles and fire, and there is no work done to pay for that candle, as there is in the case of the Highland or the German cottage ; and so the beerhouse is sought again and again, not so much for the sake of drink as for that of light and warmth and com. pany. Mr. Gladstone, who has brought his election tour in South-West Lancashire to a termination, has returned to Irawarden Castle, where the right hon. gentleman is expected to remain until the eve of the elections. Ain. BRIGHT'S VISIT TO EDINBURGH.—We un derstand that it is now arranged that the presentation of the freedom of the city to Mr. Bright will take place in the Music Hall on Tuesday, 3rd November, at two o'clock ; and that the public meeting will be held in the Corn Exchange on the evening of Thursday, the sth.-- Edinburgh Courant. THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE AND MR. PUNSHON.—The Nonconformist papers state that the Wesleyan Conference has refused to allow a request, made by the Canadian Church, that the Rev. W. M. Punshon should be the president of its next assembly, the rev. gentleman being at present in Canada. His name is also to be dropped from the " legal hundred." This condemna tion is to be carried out in consequence of Mr. Punshon having, on leaving England, married his deceased wife's sister. ACCIDENT AT CHESTERFIELD.—A shocking affair happened at Chesterfield during the gale on Saturday night. Messrs. Ind, Coope, and Co., brewers, have on the top of some newly-erected offices a large sign, which was on both sides exposed to the storm. A furnaceman named Thomas Willis and his wife were passing these offices when the sign gave way, and fell with a large por tion of the brickwork upon them. Willis was found quite dead, his back having been broken. His wife sus tained a severe contusion on the head, from which it is not expected she will recover. JEST AND EARNEST.—A little tragedy in real life has been enacted at the Swansea Theatre. It appeared that a coloured actor, named Morgan Smith, had been engaged to take the principal characters in sensational dramas. During a desperate encounter in one of the pieces Mr. Smith was furnished with a loaded pistol too heavily charged. When he fired at the heroine the unfor tunate actress staggered back, wounded in real earnest. The wadding struck her on the arm, causing a severe lacerated wound. She was at once removed to the infir mary, and there the poor woman will remain for some time. THE LORDSHIP OF THE TREASURY. — Lord Claud John Hamilton, M.P. for Londonderry city, has been appointed the Irish Lord of the Treasury, in succession to the Hon. Gerard Noel, promoted to the post of Patronage Secretary. His lordship is the second son of the Duke of Abercorn, and is 25 years of age. It is usual for the Lords of the Treasury to:represent the three kingdoms, and the ordinary practice is now carried out in Lord Oland Hamilton's appointment, Mr. Whitmore being the English, and Sir Graham Montgomery the Scotch lord. Previously there were two lords for England, and one for Scotland, the interests of Ireland having been cared for Py c94422lTaylvr z the parlimgary secretary OR7ING NOTES. The Cambridgeshire has at last been decided; and the three year olds have once more asserted their right to be considered of a far superior class to the older horse Saunterer's feat in Odd Trick's year has been eclipsed by Soo Saw and Blue Gown, the latter of whom has won imperishable fame by his gallant performances in the Cambridgeshire and Free Handicap Sweepstakes. Cecil, Lady Coventry, Restitution, Lady Raglan, Kettleholder, Kingsland, Wolsey, Monarch of the Glen, Warrington, and Kidderminster —all of whom were, more or less, fancied by their partisans—did not run up to their supposed form. For none of these horses was there any legitimate excuse, farther than the fact that they were not good enough to win. Cecil and Restitution were outpaced at the commencement of the contest, and both horses are better adapted to long than short courses. Lady Coventry, who had never been tried over the Cambridgeshire course, could not act up the hill ; and Kingsland, Monarch of the Glen, Warrington, and Wolsiy were early out of the fray. Lady Raglan, Kidderminster, and Katt leh Atter ran lik, the impostors they aro ; an .l it will be " p tssing strange" if either animal ever again figures peorninently in the list of quotations for an impertaut Ii in lie ip. Few of the public writers fancied See Saw, as his impost, after his in different running at D miter and Newmark :t when cmpeting at weight-for-age, app earal a heavy one. Like all descendants of Buccaneer, however, See Saw has fine hill action, and to this gift we attribute his success. Pordham, after riding See Saw at Sto:lc'eri lg his ever hold a high opinion of his merits; and more than one backer cf horses has netted a goodly sum by listening to that eminent jockey's advice. Mercury, who ran third, displayed fine speed, as did also the Makeshift colt, Nelusko, and Snowdrop, the last of whom will be worth remembering on mile courses. After the Cambridgeshire, the only really interesting features in the programme were the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, the Criterion and Troy Stakes, and the Nursery Handicaps. In the Free Handicap Sweepstakes Blue Gown was opposed by Cock of the Walk, Kingsland, Lietor, Mercury, Mortemer, Geant des Batailles, and Clairon. Blue Gown was elecled the favourite, and, al though he carried the comparatively welter weight of 9st, the Derby winner gallantly bore the cherry jacket to the fore, and won very easily by two lengths. Cock of the Walk and Kingsland finished second and third, and when the latter is thoroughly fit, which we fear he was not this week, he will win a good stake for Mr. Welsby. Mortemer, who is a mean-looking colt, seemed over-trained, and the bet ting told his chance, as he declined from 6 to 1 to 20 to 1. Geant des Batailles ran shiftily, and Dr. Shorthouse can have another fling at the Voltigeur blood. The field for the Criterion Stakes was weak in numbers, as there were only seven runners, namely, Pero Gomez, Wild Oats, Ethus, Heather Bell, King Cophetua, Ryshwortb, and Monkshood. The battle for winning honours, however, was confined to Pero Gomez and Wild Oats, and, after a brilliant rally, the struggle ended in a dead heat—the second since the establishment of this race. Pero Gomez ran a remarkably game horse ; but Wild Oates finished like a coward, rolling about like a ship in a storm, with his mouth wide open and tongue extended. Despite this currish exhibition, however, Wild Oats still finds Derby backers; but we shall be astonished if this soft-hearted, gigantic brute,:with his long legs and pasterns, ever comes down the Epsom hill in front of Pero Gomez and Bella-. drum, to say nothing of Pretender, who is perhaps the truest-shaped horse we have seen out this year. In the Troy Stakes Belladrum, Scottish-Queen, and Prince lmpe rial met, but the race was with the first-name pair. Both looked in blooming condition, and the Danebury division were quietly confident that in Scottish Queen they possessed a filly capable of lowering the colours of the Berkshire bay. The race, however, run at a good pace throughout, resulted in the easy success of Belladrum. Notwithstanding his victory, the layers were loud in their offers to bet against Mr. Merry's colt for the Derby, on what grounds we are at a loss to imagine, as he won like a racehorse ; and the rumours afloat as to his "roaring" propensities are merely weak in ventions of the enemy. A sounder horse, in wind and limb, than Belladrum does not exist, and this assertion is made from reliable facts in our possession. Tho running in the great two-year-old races of the present season leaves Belladrum and Pero Gomez at the top d the tree, and next to this pair we place Pretender. And, un less the Two Thousand Guineas next spring brings forth an " illustrious stranger," where is the horse to be found capable of defeating the above trio in the Derby? Wild Oats we do not think equal to either of the above horses, as we doubt him training on and improving, and, if he does, his action is totally unsuited to the Derby course. Worse than all, we fear that the heart of this son of Wild Dayrell and Golden Horn is not of the stamp which Derby winners carry. The First and Second Nurseries attracted goodly fields, and they were carried off respectively by Cardinal York and Brigantine. The present rapidly-waning season will be concluded in a month from this date, and then steeplechasing and hurdle racing will be seen, we trust, iu their purity. Meet ings of a hybrid character will be held next week at Wor cester, Lincoln, and Harrow. At the latter place the entry list is of lengthy dimensions; but the sport at the metro politan gatherings is of such a curious description, and so much depends on arrangements at the post, that we may be pardoned for passing over the Harrow programme without further comineut. The Worcester Autumn Meeting will be celebrated on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and, although death lets cloprivod the meeting of one of its staunchest patrons since lastanniversary—the benevolent Mr. M‘Millan—there are many of the "good old sort" left at the "faithful citie," where the committee act for the pure love of sport rather than for gain. Eighteen items have been equally spread over three days, and of these ten have already cloacd, tt,o,n completed for Tuesday being the Autumn Handicap, the Nursery Plate, a Handicap Plat) of 30 sovs, and a Hurdle Ric For the Autumn Handicap (1 mile 3 furlongs course) twenty-two candidates htvo accepted, and the weights range from Acton, Bst 12111 to Per cussion, sst 71b. Wadlow has five representatives en gaged, namely, Christmas Carol, 7st 101 b; Conun drum, ist ; Fidelia, 7st; Jeanie Deans, Gst 111 b ; and The Returned, sst 131 b. The elected of this lot, pro bably Christmas Carol, who likes soft ground, must bo dangerous, and to this horse and Vortigern we leave the issue, although a good race may be seen if they are opposed by Kidderminster, Orion, and The Traveller. For the Nursery Plate (4 furlongs) twenty-six two year olds have been named. Hilda, Bst 101 b, occupies the post of honour, but she is out of form at present ; and Sir Chas. Rushout may trust to Longborough, ist 61b, who is a good-looking horse. The lot, however, that appear best in are Pahnitine, Bst 31b; King of the Rovers, 7st 111 b ; Winified, 7st 101 b; Gipsy, 7st 31b; Abyssinia, Get 81b ; and the filly by Young Melbourne out of Lady Eve line, 6st 81b. Palmitino, if she.runs, will be bad to dis pose of, and only in the absence of this clever daugh ter of Carnival should we anticipate the success of Gipsy or the Lady Evelyn filly. The Handicap Plate of 30 sovs (11 miles) will end in a match between Baruabo and Lute, though each horse is penalised 101 b. In the Handicap Hurdle Race (2 miles) Jezabel and Harrington have not been over-weight3l ; and, if the first-named has taken kindly to jumping, she ought to win. On Wednes day three races aro completed. The Autumn Flying Stakes (5 furlongs) has attracted thirty-one entries, and the highest impost, Oat 31b, has been awarded to Salliet. The pick of the handicap present themselves to us in Moonbeam, Bst 121 b; Ironmaster, 7st 101 b; Snowdrop, 7st 71b; Catton, 7bt 41b; Herennianus, 7st; and Lucetta, Get 91b. For Moonbeam we have a high respect; but she may fail to concede the weight she is re quired to give to Snowdrop and Catton, the better of whom should win. In the Grand Stand Plate (1. mile) Lute and Prince Regent have been well placed, though if Vortigcrn runs he will beat the pair The SOVOCII Bank Stakes (3 miles) will fall to Sir William or Brighton, who are the best of an indifferent lot. On Thursday steeple chasing and hurdle-racing are the principal features in the card, but only one event—the Grand Annual, run for over the four miles course—is at present closed. The Doctor, 12st Sib, is the highest weight accepting ; but Holman's stable will probably trust to Huntsman's Daughter or Globule, who should beat all comers, as the best of their Opponents are likely to be found in The Beadle, L. S. D., and Lisette. _ The Lincoln Autumn Meeting will take place on Thurs day and Friday; and although the first day unfortunately comes into contact with the last at Worcester, Mr. Ford's gathering is sure to be strongly patronised by Lincoln shire and other sportsmen. 'The Lincoln list is made up of fourteen races, five of which are completed for Thurs day. For the Autumn Handicap (1} miles) eighteen horses remain in front the original thirty-six nomi nations. Knight of the Garter, 9st, is the top weight ; but we believe he will bo reservod for the Liverpool Autumn Cup. The horses we take to be best in this handicap are Three per Cent., 7st 111 b; Orion, ist 91b ; Fairwind, 7st 91b ; Lady Coventry, 7st 41b ; Christmas Carol, 7st 21b; The Spy, Est 131 b ; and Nine Elms, Est 131 b. Although the distance is longer than he likes, Orion will be bad to beat ; but he does no. appear so tempting as Three per Cent. and The Spy, one of whom should win. The Blaukney (Stakes (6 furlongs) will bring together a strong field, as Prince Imperial, Dryad, Tbe Orphan, Ventnor, Robespierre, Cocoa Nut, the filly by Oulston out of Crucifixion, April Morn, and Master Tom have, amongst others, been named for it. Of those we prefer the Crucifixion filly and Robespierre, the former of whom is entitled to the full allowances. The Barton Stakes (1 mile) appears likely to be carried off by Edinburgh, Historian, or Mr. Drewitt's represen tative; the Johnstone Plato (4 furlongs) by Bel Giornio, Consternation, Pearlfeather, or Mr. Head's selected ; and the Steeplechase Plato (3 miles) by His Lordship or Mr Wellfitt's representative, Marigold or Barbarian. The Autumn Steeplechase (about 3 miles) has proved a failure, as only seven horses have accepted, and the best of these is Meanwood. There are lengthy entries to the Aveland, Nursery, and Hainton Handicaps ; but as previous running at the meeting mill materially alter the aspect of these races, we can mil v point out Consternation, Bonnie Katie, and April Morn as being well iu in the Nursery, and Ep worth Vontnor or Sir F. Johnstone's representative may . win the Hainton Handicap. A FRESLIM.4Ii, it lAi g ;t lk .41 1 g r el() - 11. AL 'if • SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.220. per Li sterling On cainparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 iis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appemrs that gold is about 2.loths per cent. dearer in London than in Parts. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at CO days' tight was on the last date about 1 9J per cent At this rate there is no profit on the importation, of gol from the United States. THE EARTHQUAKE AT PERU AND ECUADOR...—. The contributions to the Relief Fund during the past week have exceeded £6,000, including a donation from his Royal Highness the Duko of Cambridge, and a sum of .GOO from the Corporation of London. This liberality of the public will enable the committee to remit a further sum for immediate distribution among the ruined survivors of this almost unequalled visitation. It is a remarkable fact that at Arica, and Iquique the heaviest losses have fallen chiefly:on our own countrymen. It is proposed to give a grand fete towards the end of the present mouth, in honour of Prince Humbert and the Princess at Pompeii, when a portion of the ancient city will be decorated to represent scenes of Roman life. A large sum is destined for this fete, which is to be de frayed by the Aiunieipality of Naples.
