The Government Securities have not maintaine I till ir yesterday's price, although the fall is but trifling. The fall has doubtless been occasioned by the arranging for the settlement, and, that being accomplished, prices will recover. The foreign market is firm, but railways have in some instances improved. The rate of discount is now 1 1 to 2 per cent. Consols are 941 s for monoy ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921 ; New Three per Cents, 92* k 4; !Exchequer Bills£soo, 2 per Cent., 18 prem. ; and Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent.. 246 4.

The Honduras Loan is firm at 91 92. The Scrip of the New Italian Tobacco Loan is firm, at 24 2+ prem. The Scrip of the New Russian Railway Loan is firmer at + 1 prem. In Railways London and North Western, Great Western, Great Eastern, and Metropolitan Stocks have declined 8 to I per cent., but Caledonian and London, Chatham, and Dover have improved The quotations are :—Caledonian, 73148 Great Western, 4 9H ; Great Eastern, 421 to 38; Great Northern, 105 106 ; ditto A, 104+ to 4 ; Lancashire, 127 8+ ; Metropolitan, 105/ ; ditto Extension, 1031 4 ; Midland, 111+ to 4 ; Sheffield, 47i to 8 ; Brigh ton, 49i to 50 ; North British, 32+ to. + ; North Western, 114-1 ; North Eastern, 99+ 1004 ; South Eastern, 77+ 8; Chatham and Dover, 16/ 17/. • Metropolitan District Railway Stock is firm at 72 74. Great Indian Peninsular Railway New Four per Cent. Debenture Stock is 941 954. American stocks are dull. The 5-20 Bonds are I per cent. lower, at 731 to j.

Preference, 34 4 ; and Anglo- American, 21i 22. The statement that the claims upon the North- Western Railway Company arising out of the Abergele accident have been settled is without foundation. An interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, has been declared by the directors of the Otago and Southland In vestment Company. The Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Com pany, having been registered as a limited company, have convened a meeting for the 19th inst., to pass the necessary resolutions to reduce the share capi tal and liability. The advices from the provinces are rather more favourable to trade. The value of money is gra dually working up in Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow. The bankers are not so ready to make advances at the late rates, and many parties have endeavoured to arrange for loans forward. Until it is ascertained whether the Bank directors will carry the official minimum per cent. higher to morrow there will be a disinclination to adjust any important transactions. With reference to a memorandum from the Com mittee of Venezuelan bondholders, inserted on the 7th inst., the following note has been forwarded by the Venezuelan Consul for publication : " Foreign-office, Nov. 7, 1868. " Sir—l am directed by Lord Stanley to state to you, in reply t 9 your letter of the 6th instant, that the mixed commission now sitting at Caracas, and alluded to in the notice to British subjects having claims against Venezuela, has reference only to international claims,' and has nothing to do with the claims of the British bondholders on that Republic. —I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, " JAMES MURRAY. F. H. Hemming, Esq., 25, Moorgate-street." Extraordinary statements are forwarded at in tervals to the various New York journals regard ing silver discoveries in the State of Nevada. These are treated with proper reserve, but there seems to be no doubt of the remarkable character of the district. According to a regular correspondent of th e New }ork Journal of Commerce, a new ex citement has just been occasioned by rich disco veries at a place called White Pine, Lander county, about 100 south-east of Austin. Nothing further than that we have already pub- Flailed has transpired to show that the rival 13righton scheme has any very solid foundation. The representation is that it is to cost only Q 1 , 333,000 (£1,000,000 share capital, with the usual borrowing powers), but this does not pro vide a metropolitan terminus, which is only to be gained by asking for running powers over an exist ing metropolitan line. Looking at the enormous outlay incurred by the existing company in Parlia rnentary expenses and requirements, it will be a question for Parliament how far a grant can be Justifiably given to new parties on less onerous terms.

The Gazette of to-day publishes a decree of the Minister of Justice making extensive reductions in the scale of punishment apportioned to the various classes of crime. The manifesto of the Electoral Committee has received numerous signatures of politicians connected with all the three branches of the Liberals. A circular of Senor Gorilla orders the re-open ing of the schools closed by certain of the provin cial Juntas and municipalities. The municipal elections are fixed for the Ist of December. MARKE7 S-7 Ills DAY. T CORN EXCHANGE. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was thinner oven than is usual on Wednesduy. The arrivals of English wheat are moderate, but those of foreign ample. English barley has come sorward a little more freely, and foreign continues to arrive in good quantities. Oats are plentiful for Irish and foreign, but English are entirely wanted. The supplies of maize are good. The demand for wheat, both English and foreign, was remarkably quiet, and few transactions took place. Barley is steady. Oats are firm. Beans and peas unaltered.

STEALING GOLD. —John M'Auley, a gold beater, lately in the employ of Mr. Henry Kelham, gold beater, of No. 53, New Compton-street, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing some gold, the property of Mr. Kelham. Mr. Kelham said that yesterday in consequence of hearing from one of his workmen, named Ward, that the prisoner, who had left his employ oa Satur day night, had written to him to say that he had taken so:ne gold out of his box, he examined Ward's box, and found there was a deficiency in the gold. He went to White Lion-street, and saw the prisoner, and told him that he should take him to the station. The prison said nothing in reply, but at the station admitted that he had taken gold from Ward's box. Iu answer to Mr. Mansfield, the prosecutor said there was a deficiency of about 13 dwts. of gold, of the value of £2 153. The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he did not say yesterday morning that if the gold was paid for he would be satisfied. The prosecutor said he did so, but afterwards said he would not compromise the matter. Ile had so many losses of late that he could no longer stand it or afford it. John Ward, a workman in Mr. Kelham's employ, said the prisoner wrote to him telling him that he had taken soma of his gold, and asking him to keep from work on Monday till he (prisoner) was able to get the money to replace the gold, and ho did so, but the prisoner did not get the money. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the witness said that had not the prisoner sent to him acknowledging taking the gold he would had to make the loss good, and that the reason why the prisoner was dis charged was, he believed, because of slackness of work. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. SHARE LIST. off,DINARY aIia.KES:AND STOCKS ihare Railways. raid.

WESTMINSTER. Art IMPUDENT BEGGAR.—Catherine Wallace, 57, wretchedly clad, was charged with begging. Mr. Win. Meen, a gentleman, residing at 5, Brompton-square, said the prisoner came yesterday afternoon and rang violently at his door bell; his servant answered it, and, the bell being again rung three times, he went to the door and ordered her away. She made use of the most filthy language, and then he went to look for a constable, and threatened to give her in charge. She followed him , got in front, and continued abusing him. As soon as he found a policeman he gave her in charge. Harriet Collins, servant to the last witness, said prisoner came and rang the bell. She answered it, and prisoner asked to be relieved, stating that site had not tasted food for two days. She also asked if Ler inis'ress relieved poor people or had a letter for the hospital? Witness said she had none, and then the prisoner cursed and threatened her and used most bastly language. She said she would pull the bell down, an I then the master went out to her. Prisoner said that the girls jeered at her, but this the last witness denied. Sergeant flume, 14 B, who took the prisoner, found her offering cigar-lights for sale at a carriage door in Brompton-square. On the road to the station she made use of the most filthy and abusive language. Prisoner expressed her regret if she had insulted Mr. Meen. Mr. Arnold said her offence wa3 a 3 bad as could well be imagined ; going about no doubt for the purpose of begging, and not being relieved she made use of the most revolting language to every person she came across. The charge of begging was not distinctly proved, but for the abusive language he dud her 40s. or a month, and ordered her also to find a surety in £2 to be of good behaviour for the next three months. THAMES. ROBBERY AT SEA ON BOARD THE MOSELLE STEAM smr.—Robert Tishwick, a man about 30 years of age, was brought up on remand charged with steal ing about £2O worth of English and foreign coins, and a blue coat valued at £3, the money and pro perty of Captain John Rogers, the master of the General Steam Navigation Company's steamship Moselle, trading between London and Antwerp. Mr. Samuel Poynter, barrister, instructed by Mr. J. A. Fairfield, solicitor, prosecuted for the General Steam Navigation Company. Mr. Stoidart, soli citor, defended the prisoner. Mr. Poynter stated ;the case. He said the pri soner had been guilty of the blackest ingratitude towards Captain Ryan and Mr. James Hyde, the chief steward of the Moselle. Oa Saturday, the 10th of last month, the prisoner was brought on board the Moselle off Antwerp by two Belgian gendarmes, who had orders to conduct him to the frontier, and who said that Tishwick had been in confinement for one year in a Belgain prison. There was also au order of the British Consul that the prisoner should be taken to England as a distressed British subject. It happened on the same day that the chief steward of th 3 Moselle had a reason to dismiss his assistant fore cabin steward. The prisoner took advantage of this, and related to Mr. Hyde a story of his suffer ings and privations, said he had been confined for 12 months in a Belgian prison for assaulting a policeman, or gendarme, and thatlhe was quite des titute. The steward was interested in the prisoner's favour, and said he would employ him on board, and pay him according to his merits. The prisoner made several voyages between London and Antwerp, and behaved very satisfactorily. On Wednesday, the 22d of November, the prisoner absconded from the ship, in the river Thames, and soon afterwards Captain Ryan discovered that the bottom of his private cash-box had been forced out and all the contents abstracted. Captain Ryau also missed a new blue coat at the same time. A letter was found by the steward in the prisoner's cabin, and this gave a clue to the prisoner's whereabouts. He was found in Cardiff, where he had joined another vessel, and he was taken into custody and lodged in Cardiff gaol. It would be proved that after the prisoner had left the Moselle he was in possession of a good deal of English and foreign money; that he asked a coffeehouse-keeper in Dock-street, Whitechapel, where foreign coins could be exchanged, and that he sold a blue coat in Cardiff. Mr. Hyde said he paid the prisoner for his ser vices on board, and that on the 30th of last month he saw the prisoner in Cardiff Gaol, and said to him—" You know what I have come here to charge you with." The prisoner said, " Yes, I do" Ile asked him if he knew the consequences of his dis honesty, to which he replied, " No, I do not." The prisoner was trelted with great kindness on board, and it was believed that he had been unfor tunate, and had only been confined for an assault on a Belgian policeman. Captain John Ryan said he gave the prisoner his cash box on Tuesday, the 20th of October, and directed him to lock it up in the iron chest. The cash box then contained coins of every nation. When he saw the cash box again the bottom was gone, and the whole of the cash was missing except one halfpenny. M. Jeremiah Downes, sergeant of police at Car diff, said that when he captured the prisoner he had a large quantity of new clothing in his posses sion, and some foreign coins. Mr. Poynter said he asked for a remand, as he could not complete the case that day. Mr. Paget —I shall be hero again on Monday next. The prisoner is remanded until that day. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : —Lieutenant Charles F. Hill to the Valiant ; Sub-Lieutenant Emeric J. V. Pritchard to the Ringdove ; Silas W. Parker, paymaster, to the Juno; F. G. Farrow, assistant-paymaster, to th© Bellerophon ; Captain W. H. Edye to the Satellite, vice Joseph Edye, C. 8., deceased ; Dr. Robert Potter, assistant-surgeon, to the Boxer ; W. Galloway, assistant-surgeon, to the Cambridge ; and Andrew J. Ramsay, elerk, additional, to the Royal Alfred. rue quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15e. per £1 sterling. eimparing these rates with the English Mint price of Li t‘s. 104 d. per ounce for stvulard g - old, it appe..rs that. is nearly 1•10 th per cent. dearer in l'Aris t.i.sn in London. MR. BRIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM. Mr. Bright's position on Tuesday evening, at Ihimuge ham, was very peculiar. He had to address gunmakers He, "a man of peace," had to speak to those who werefed by war. He had therefore to apologise somewhat, and to declare that he really had no connection with them as regards their trade. But he gave them something that he knew would please when be said that he did not believe in the Government itself making clothes for the army, or building ships or manufacturing the arms. He quoted Hume and Cobden with effect. "I have always been of opinion," said he, " that it was a great mistake for the Government to undertake the character of manu facturers ; I believe it is so with regard to the building of ships ; I believe it is so with regard to the manufacture of clothing for the army; I believe it is so likewise in the manufacturing of guns ; and I recollect that so long ago as forty years since a committee of the House of Commons passed a resolution which seems to me to include nearly all that can be said upon this matter. Now, if I were to put into one sentence my opinion upon this matter, I should quote the sentence which I find in a speech—the most able speech on this question, I suspect, ever spoken in the Hotise of Commons by my and your lamented friend Mr. Cobden. On the 22nd of July, within less than a year of his death, be delivered this speech, and this is an extract from it. He says : ' This is thevrinciple I have alwaysadvocated—the Government ought not to be allowed to manufacture for itself any article which can be obtained from private producers in a competitive market, and if we have entered upon a false system in this respect, we ought, as far as possible, to re trace our steps." From this subject to the estimates was not a very long jump. Forthwith Mr. Bright began to bewail the want of influence which would be felt by a private member in trying to create any reduction. He expatiated on the £26,000,000 which was spent for military and naval purposes, and declared that there were too many in power who were interested in that expenditure. "Every man Ivho lives on the public expenditure, what ever be his services, comes naturally to have an interest, a personal interest, *hid), if he is not very careful, takes sides against the interests of the taxpayer. He is looking for better wages,,better salary, higher promotion. Such interests form necessarily a most powerful influence, acting constantly upon the Executive and against the interests of the taxpayer. Let me tell you this, the present House of Commons, on its present system, seems to be wholly incapable of contending with this power—in fact, many scores of men are interested in this expenditure—l suspect many hundreds who have seats in that House ; and if you will trace for a moment the manner in which the expenditure is determined on and the estimates are proposed, you will see how difficult it is for three members for Birmingham, or for thirty, to make much difference in this matter. The heads of departs meats—the Horse Guards for the army, the Admiralty for the navy—produce certain proposals with regard to expenditure which are laid before the Cabinet, but the public are never heanj at the Horse Guards or at the Admiralty. You have there men who are heard, whose heads are filled from morning to night with the grandeur and the glory and, the extent of the services, and many of them &not appear to have any idea that it is of the slightest importance that money is spent ; or they would appear not to know that a tax taken from the people is so much taken from their comforts. lam not blaming them as though they bad any ill intention to the people, but they are removed from contact with them; their minds are filled by their own offices, their own duties, their own responsibilities ; they are surrounded by an atmosphere which shuts out from them altogether the cry and the wail of the taxpayer ; and therefore, looking only at what they conceive to be their own duty, they seem to have no limit to the amount of expenditure which they are prepared from year to year to recommend to the Cabinet." " When these propositions," the hon. gentleman continued, "come from the Army and Navy Departments of the Cabinet, what happens there? It is hardly anybody's business. The head of the Army Department, the Secretary of War, and the First Lord of- the Admiralty—these are men who probably have only recently been put into their offices. Until they were put there they knew nothing about them. They have to depend upon what is said to them by those below them. The Cabinet, as a whole, is disposed greatly to leave each particular department to the headof that department, and they all know that in the House of Commons, with no end of generals and colonels and ad mirals and captains, and the friends of such, it is far more easy to work the parliamentary machine by a lavish expenditure of money than it is to procure or promote or insist ur on any due system of economy. They make things easy by what is called greasing the wheels. Well, when the Cabinet has determined upon certain estimates they are laid before the House, and the House always accepts them. I believe there is no man in the House of Commons who ever remembers a time when an estimate was refused. The House can't go into the details." Mr. Bright then eulogised the late Mr. Joseph Hume, declariLg in effect that if his influence was not sufficient to stop the excessive expenditure, there was no one who could do so. And he so often failed in his attempts. "You often hear com plaint. I have seen newspapers think it their interest to find great fault with me. I have found them saying, ' Why does he not, instead of declaiming against the ex penditure in the Birmingham Town Hall, why does he not attend the committees of the House and fight the esti mates ?' The man who can tell you that is either a knave or a fool. Mr. Hume fought the estimates for forty years, and they always grew, even in his hands, and it can't be d one i n th e House of Commons on the present system ; and so conscious is nearly every one of this that now, in committees of the House, when the estimates are before it, scarcely anybody attends to listen or criticise but a few gentlemen of the army and navy, and their criticism almost always goes in favour of increasing instead of diminishing the expenditure. What you want is this—you should not accept what the Horse Guards says or what the Admiralty says, or what the Cabinet says, but you ought to have an honestly chosen committee of the House of Commons, to whom these matters should be referred, and that com mittee should recommend whatever changes it thinks p ro p er after taking evidence upon every point." They were not, said the hon. gentleman,!to think the subject unimportant. The 70 millions and the 700 millions of the ten years ;lave been produced, and every single sovereign of it that was not expended for the true needs of the country was a sovereign wrung from you, and which, had it remained with you, would have added sensibly to the comforts of your families and of your children. Bear in mind, too, that the pressure of taxes is always felt heaviest by the poorest of the people ; the rich are never ruined directly, and they never suffer sensibly from taxation. They may pay so much in the pound of income tax, or so much upon a house duty. but there remains always what. gives tuem woo and clothing anu shelter ; out the pressure upon the great body of the people—those whose living is their labour and their wages--is much heavier, and upon the poorest of them it is absolutely crushing and destruc tive. It lessens the means of employment, because it absorbs ell this capital, and it lessens the rate of wages, because it diminishes and absorbs the capital, and necessarily lessens the manufacturing power and the exteuded commerce of the country." Mr. Bright was very satirical about the Church of England being a bulwark against Rome. " I wish they would tell us," said he, " where the Church of Rome in England gets all its converts from. I don't know in all my life that I have met with more than one or two Noncon formists who have left the Church of their fathers and gone over to Rome, but I constantly meet with men who, lhaving been brought up in the bosom of the Established Church of England, are now within the fold of the Church of Rome • and you all know—y ou all read the papers, and !you al l that there is scarcely a week, and never a month, for years past, that you have not heard of some person of eminence, of wealth, or of family, or of culture, or of standing in some way or other, who has left the Church of England and gone over to Rome. Even the families of the household of the hierarchy are not free from the invasion of the power of Rome. In the Established Church, by law and by custom, and, I suppose, the canons of the Church, every clergyman is made of a different order from the laymen of his own Church, and from you and such as you and myself—who are dissenters from that. He is told that he is in a certain way higher and better than other men. The orders into which he enters are indelible. To enter into holy orders is a great thing, but when once done can't, I believe, in this country, be undone. He is not allowed to come to Birmingham and enter into one of your trades. If you were to return him to Parliament the doors of the House of Com mons would be shut against him. He is a man different from other men, and taught that he is so, and as among the clergy there i s at least as large a proportion of men with human frailties as in other classes of the people, the clergyman necessarily feels himself elated, elevated, distinguished from others. Even the humility that ought to belong to his order and his calling is scarcely able to keep him from these failings. He argues that what the Church of Rome believes, for the most part, or in some sort, is to be defended from the Prayer-book, and thus step by step he muddles his way from a state of mind in which he originally was, until he gets into one which cannot be satisfied, contented, and appeased except he advances further and lands himself in the Church of R o me. Do not imagine that I am sa yi ng a word of this to attack unfairly the Churches of England or Rome. We are not discussing theological questions here, but I am endeavouring to shew causes for that strange tendency to Rome which has been witnessed of late in the Church of England, and to shew you how it is—for you know that it is so—that the Church of England at this moment in its clerical ranks is not in any degree a bulwark against the inroads of Rome. Mr. Bright then declared over again once more that Mr. Disraeli was responsible for Mr. Hodgkinson's clause abolishing compounding in the Reform Act. He accepted it as the original policy of Ministers. Then as to the Fac tory Act. He had been charged with opposition to it. " You will probably be surprised to know—l have no doubt but our Conservative-Liberal-Constitution al candidates will be surprised to know—when, I believe in - that very year, I went into the lobby against the Factory Bill whom 1 found there. lam not positive as to all the men—l speak merely from memory, and 1 have made no recent reference about the matter—but I believe I was in the same lobby with Lord Derby and Lord Chelmsford, then both in the House of Commons, with General Peel, with Sir J. Pakington, and many other of leaders of the Conservative party. Perhaps it was b: d company, but at least I think the sup porters of those gentlemen now ought to admit that, if they have nothing since then to lay to my charge, my character will at least bear comparison with theirs." He laughed again at the Conservative party, Constitu tionalists, Tories, Liberal-Conservatives, and Conserva tive-Liberals, as they called themselves. He scoffed at their several watchwords.
