The Spanish insurrection has had the very impo tart effect of withdrawing mischievous attention from France and Prussia. Relieved from the incubus which has so long weighed upon them, the markets for public securities both here and on the Continent have con siderably advanced since yesterday morning. In some quarters the animation which has set in is looked u pon as an improvement arising very largely from the reduced stocks on offer, and not from a change in speculative tactics. The real fact is probably mid-way. This morning the funds are firmer, and foreign stocks are a little hi g h er , es p ec i a ll y Turkish and Italian. A further advance has taken Place in American securities. Among railways South- Eastern and Great Eastern are again firmer. United Alexican mining shares are in request. The rate for money is quite nominal, and business 13 most advantageously conducted by negotiation. Corn is firmer, at Monday's advance. The ship E. P. Bouverie has arrived from Otago with 8 ,566 ounces New Zealand go ld, va l ue d a t £31,264. Consols, which closed last night after official hours at a further advance of 4, opened this morning Without change but firm, and are now quoted at 944 to 94,1 for money and account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 924 to 93 ' • India Five per Cents. M . eady, at 114 a t o 1144- ; Exchequer Bills, 16s to 9.0 8 prem. A moderate business is beino• doe in Foreign ?tacks at rather higher rates. Tare snap advance of in Turkish, at 38a to 384 ; and in Viceroy's Seven per Cent., at 731 to 74} ; and of in Italian, a t 5 1A to 51i ; ew Spanish lire flat at 324 to 32f ; Mexican are quoted 14g to 144 ; Greek,-125 to 13 ; Danubi an, 80 to 81 ; Braz i l i an, 755 to 76 ; Peruvian, 78 f to 781 ; Egyptian (1864), 86 to 87 ; and Hon ures, 875 to 885. American Securities are firm. United States 5-20 ponds show a further improvement of , being dealt '32 a at 73 to 73,E ; Erie Shares 4 better, at 315 to ; Illinois, 91 to 92. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are 371 to 38f ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 38i to 38g. As compared with the unofficial close of last evening there is a fall of f in Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way shares at 1281 to 1281, in Midland at 111/ to 1 , 12 1, and in Great No r th ern a t 1075 t o 1085 ; an d Eastern in Great N or th ern (A) at 109 to 1095. South x;astern are better at 781 to 785, and there is an a dvance of I in Great Eastern at 391 to 40i, and of in Metr o p o lit an a t 107 to 1075, and in Great vestern at 494 to 50.

Lon abardo-Venetian is steady, at 164 to 16i ; Great Luxemburg, 11 to 114. Dank Shares are rather dull, and the only change in Prices is a decline of 4 in London and County, which 18 quoted at 49 to 50 ; London and 'Westminster tidY, at 654 to 665 ; ditto new, 52/ t o 53f ; O ntal, 445 to 45;4 ; London Joint Stock, 31 to 32 ; Union of London, 345 to 355 ; Imperial Otto to ted to 4 prem.; Imperial 165 to 175 ; Consoli , 4 gChartered Mercantile, 29 to 30 n glo-Austrian, 6to 7 prem. ; Alliance, 125 to 115 uls. • and Agra (A), 114 to 125.

Hudson's Bay unaltered, at 141 to 15 ; Fore-street Warehouse, par to Is prem. tcndon General Omnibus, 1i to 14. Foreign Mining Shares are extremely quiet.

The introduction of the Italian Tobacco Loan, which was expected thi s wee k , or at t h e furthest, l' ll the course of the first week in October, appears e have b een i n d e fi n i tely postponed. The cause or the delay has not transpired either in London ?! Paris. But it is quite understood. There is a each. The statutes have not yet passed the C ouncil of State ; and it is understood that the Council require the contractors to abandon the 10 Per cent. premium upon their contract with the f Go vernment ; but that the contractors do not see ~t h eir way to surrender so much p ro fit. B an k ers an d a nancier s do not usually engage in loan transactions ‘ v ithout some c e r t a i n t y o f pro fi t ; b ut t h e Council of - State may probably hold that their profit in this - e ase will be more rightly obtained out of the tobacco luonopoly than out of the loan. This, however, a ppears to be the point in dispute, or the point which 18 unsettled. Annexed is an extract from Weston T.

STANSFELD ON THE ATAVAL iEXPENDITURE.I se,- Mr. Stash d addressed a crowded meeting of his fe l stituents et Halifax on Monday evening, whet hit 6 : "lfed parti?nls t r attentiou to the great expenditure in .1,1 affairs. The hon. gentleman said that in ord4 4 reduce the estimates, some of the ei-offlOtallf . . , the Liberal side of the house took a novel 0" t successful course. They met and discussed the Fitins tion, and the conclusion they came to was that mere nibblllik at estimates was useless, that mere criticism, if not ageless, was not sufficient, and that they ought to grapple with something more, that they ought to enunciate a touter policy of economy, from which counter estimates should 1:* simply a matter of deduction, as a matter of course. The programme they propounded was this :—A large reduction in these foreign squadrons, in those ships which hardly constituted any portion of our real fighting power, and a consequent reduction in the number of men ; the devotion of their shipbuilding energies to the construction of the Most powerful machines for offence and defence, which science could devise or mechanical skill construct, which should be, as it were, units which could be multiplied in time of necessity, and a resolute reduction of the over grown list of superior officers in the navy. Mr. Stansfeld contended that they were successful in the case they under took, and quoted in proof thereof the speech and estimates of Mr. Corry, the present First Lord of the Admiralty. The views he had expressed had not been taken up lightly. They all knew that if they looked at the history of manu facturing and commercial businesses that there were what he might call rises and falls. They were constructed by men of energy and of practical knowledge, but it was not often that they lasted for many generations. A pro gressive town like Halifax might afford some exceptions, but it was not often that they lasted in that flourish ing condition through succeeding generations. The ten dency of large undertakings, whether private or public, was that the expenses outgrow their fair proportion to the , rofurns ; there was a staff gradually becoming too nume rous if not too highly paid ; the premises were constantly being enlarged, the plant became unwieldy, and the machinery out of date. Now, in those manufacturing districts, where progress was so rapid and continuous, men knew how to adapt themselves to their circumstances. They brought in new blood in time, they wrote off year by year to the deprecatory account the value of their machinery, which rapidly depreciated, as new and im proved machinery was ready to take its place. There was a great analogy between this and the public interests, especially the spending departments. These departments wanted new blood from time to time. They had had some new blood, and had made some steps in the right direc tion, but that was not enough—the machinery was out of date, and the premises were too large, and they had, what was more difficult to get rid of, the habits and condition of the past. Ho had always said the reformed House of Parliament would enable them to deal with these ques tions, and ho had always believed that one of the first steps that the reformed House of Commons would take would be pure administrative reform, especially in the groat spending departments of the State. What was required wore more searching and less timid question ing ; a less sensitive regard to the habits and conditions of the past; and more force. All these elements- were provided by the stir which was already made in men's minds by the political advance which had been accomplished. The expenditure in these departments had been loose and illogical, unintelligent and enormous, and it was absolutely necessary that it should be reduced, but mere pruning and saving would not be sufficient to effect the reduction which they would rightfully demand. Policy controlled expenditure, and policy in the administration was alone sufficient to accomplish the ends they had a right to expect. He had shown them what he believed in one great department would be the policy of the future, and they had a right to expect it from the new Liberal party and the new Liberal Government attaining to power, under the leadership of a great and earnest man and true econo mist like Mr. Gladstone, and it was his firm belief that they would not be disappointed.

During the last twenty-four hours the decrease in barometrical pressure on the E. coast has been about two-tenths of an inch, whilst at Biarritz there has been an increase of the same amount. In the S. of Ireland and on our Channel coast the change has been slight. The lowest readings are on our E. coast, and the highest on the W. coast of France : between Yarmouth and Biarritz the difference is nearly three-tenths. In the S. of England temperature is a little lower. Over these islands winds yesterday were generally moderate from the north-eastward : they are now very light from the N.W. A north westerly gale is now blowing in the W. and S. of France. Rain has fallen in the N. and W. There hhs been lightning at Valencia and Penzance. The weather is cloudy. A telegram from Cork states that the report of the Fenian outrage at Mills-street is an exaggeration. The robbery was committed by a single person, who stated that he had confederates within call. Fenianism appears to have its origin in whiskey quite as much as in the wrongs of Ireland. A man has been charged at Dublin with tampering with soldiers. He met them in the street, invited them to become Fenians, and to drink a glass of whiskey with him. The latter invitation was irresistible ; but, after partaking of the hospitality of the man, one of the soldiers gave him in charge of the police. The prisoner Kelly found a friend in his master, for whom Le bad worked twenty-five years. He gave him a good character, and stood bail for him. Kelly will now have tq convince the magistrate at his next examination that the old proverb "In vino veritas " has some exceptions. It appears that he was very drunk. The " unemployed poor " of the metropolis, or, rather, so many of them as choose—having nothing better to do— meet weekly in the neighbourhood of Hoxton to discuss things in general. At the last meeting they considered the position of the aristocracy. In a resolution of nearly three hundred words, with only one full-stop, and that at the end, they set forth their views upon the subject of the incomes of millionaires. In the first part of this resolution the National Debt is laid on the shoulders of the " aristocratic few," who, "for the purposes of ambition and self-aggrandisement," initiated and carried on past wars, and made the people pay for them.. The next point raised is that of the large incomes possessed by some of the upper ten. The Marquis of Bute is selected as an example. He is put down as possessing £300,000 per annum, when he should, according to the Hoxton political economists, be satisfied with £5,000. This is deemed an evil of such magnitude that the meeting " recommends for the consideration of the next reformed Parliament the imperial necessity of legislatively limiting or fixing a maximum to individuals' incomes, approximating more or less to £5,000 per annum, and his aggregate wealth at that amount capitalised at £5 per cent., and also for considering the propriety of apply ing the net aggregate surplus capital thereby realised in reduction or extinction of the national debt, and the balance (if any) to be applied in the reclamation and culti vation of waste lands, (kn." The resolution concludes with the prediction that if this programme be adopted a kind of millennium will ensue.

After a delay of upwards of half an hour, caused princi pally by the fractiousness of Historian and Nelly Rose, and the anxiety of the jockeys to get off, the flag was lowered to an even start, Nelly Rose, in the centre of the course, cutting out the work with a slight lead of Snowdrop, His torian, Leonie, Dragon, Bounoeaway, and LadyHighthorn, who laid on the left in a cluster, Belphegor and Kettle holder being prominent 911 the right, with Epworth, Bis marck, Ritualist, and Roland in the centre of the course. Nelly Rose retained her advantage until entering the cords, when she was in trouble, and her retirement left Snowdrop, who still held a position on the extreme left, in command of the field, of whom Bounceaway, Leonie, and Historian wore the most prominent, Lady Highthorn having beat a retreat almost simultaneously with Nelly Rose. When fairly within the cords Leonie got almost level with Snowdrop, but the light-weighted filly had much the best of the struggle, and Platt riding hor with great patience she won cleverly by three-quarters of a length from the Duke of Hamilton's filly, which distance separated Leonie from Historian ; Bounceaway, close up, was fourth, and Goojerat fifth.

The trial was resumal this morning. Mrs. Borrodaile was re-examined by Mr. Ser geant Ballantine. She said she had come to Lou- don from Cheltenham, and went to a coffee-shop in Francis-street, at the recommendation of a rail way porter. She stopped there for four days, and paid 2s. a day. She went to Madame Rachel's the day _ after her arrival. She could not account for Ma dame Rachel producing the letters she had written unless she had kept them, and witness always thought they had been sent to whom they had been addressed. She wrote all the letters at Madame Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel's daughter told her she was 50, but she could not say how old she was, as she was made up. (Laughter.) A granddaughter of the prisoner was always at the shop. She did not think that she wrote the letters signed " William," as she (witness) knew her handwriting. No one was ever present when she (witness) and Madame Rachel were letter-writing. The shop was always shut up when they were so engaged. No one ever called at her lodgings in George-street but her mother-in-law and her soli citors. Witness never had any communication with any one beside Lord Ranelagh in Rachel's house, nor had she ever met any man there but him. She had never met any man at a coffeeshop. She trusted entirely to Madame Rachel. Rachel used to give her some whisky before she com menced letter-writing. (Laughter.) She had men tioned this fact to many other persons, but did not say anything about it at the last trial because she was not asked the question. She had seen a young man named Horace, who wrote at Rachel's, and the boy called William, who wrote letters. All she received for the £l,OOO was some soap, powder, and magnetic water, which she was to put in her bath. She kept a photograph of Lord Ranelagh on her mantelpiece at home in George-street, and at night she took it to bed with her. (Laughter.) She told the matter to Rachel, and she advised her to tell " William" of it. (Laughter.) She was quite positive that Rachel never upbraided her with spending money on her paramour. In one of her letters to William she said it was well known in Pembrokeshire that she had been living with him. It was altogether untrue. She acknowledged that she was a " self-confessed idiot"—(loud laughter) and she could not account in any way for her writ ing such extraordinary letters. She never saw O'Keefe until she met him in Paris. She had seen a man in Rachel's shop whom she said was Stephens, Lord Ranelagh's servant. When she wrote to " Dear Tom," Madame Rachel told her she had had enough of Dear William now, and she had better try " Dear Torn." She was told it wouid create jealousy. Madame Rachel never paid any large sum of money for her; on one occasion she believed she did pay £2 for her. The document put into her hand purporting to be an account of money paid to her by Madame Rachel was an entire fabri cation. On her solemn oath she never received a single one of the sums therein mentioned, amount ing in all to £1,600. There was a portion of the paper in her handwriting, but the latter part of it setting out the different sums was not, and until it was produced in court she never was aware of its existence. She never had a single sixpence from Madame Rachael out of the whole of the money she had from her, which amounted, with the £1,600, to £2,200. Madame Rachel was not the person to give money to any one. She denied in the most solemn manner that, with the exception of the £2 she had mentioned, she had not had one farthing from Madame Rachael of all the money she had had from her. By Mr. Digby Seymour—Of the £7OO now re ferred to she never had a piny. It was no use her looking again at the account, as she never had a single farthing from Rachel. She might have said at the last trial that the document now placed in her hand was in her handwriting; all she could say was that parts of it looked like it. There was no necessity fur the perpetual reminder that she was on her solemn oath ; she knew that she was speaking only the truth, and she could say no more. The Judge told witness shed must answer the questions. He was bound to tell her that the learned gentleman had had his patience severely tried. She did not recollect saying at the last trial that she never told lies. It was too vulgar; she thought she must have said " untruths." In look ing at the list the 5 of the 500 looked like her figures. The 85 is something like them. The document was here handed to the jury, with a direction from the learned Judge to look not only at the figures, but the dates also. Examination continued—She often asked Rachel what she had done with her money and clothes, but never could get any explanation. Madame Rachel told her in 1866 that she had an account against her. She had no recollection of having had some underclothing from a person named Himes. Madame Rachel said some had been got, but she had never seen a single article. Would solemnly swear that she had never ordered underclothing to the amount of £5O. Madame Rachel told her she would require some for her wedding. She recollected now that she gave Madame Rachel £lB out of her pocket to purchase chemises. (Laughter.) At the police court she might have said she wrote some of the letters to William because she wanted something to do. She made a great many very foolish answers—she spoke frequently without thinking. (Laughter.) Sergeant Ballantine—Look at the list and see whether there is £5O down for underclothing. Mrs. Borrodaile—l don't see it. I never had it. I know, because I'm very short of it. (Laughter.) Sergeant Ballantine—Did you ever receive as much as a tenth part of a shift from Madame Rachel. (Laughter.) Mrs. Borrodaile—No, never. (Loud laughter.) The Judge—Do you know the handwriting of Madame Rachel's daughter Leonte ? Mrs. Borrodaile—Yes ; it is very much like mine. Mr. Digby Seymour—l object to the answer being received, as there is none of Leonte's writing in court. It was a fearful suggestion. Madame liAchel here ry§e Om hex Oat; and said—l will send for my daughter, my lord. I will send for her, indeed, if you wish it, for the sake of the public. A document was here putinto the witness's hand, authorising Madame Rachel to dispose of all wit ness's property in her possession ; she said she thought it was in her handwriting, but she never received a single farthing of the proceeds, if any. She would have been certain to recollect it. A Juror—Did the letters from " dear William" come by post or by hand? Mrs. Borrodaile—All the letters came by hand. Mr. Haynes, of Palace Chambers, Westminster, solicitor, examined by Sergeant Ballantine, with respect to selling out stock for Mrs. Borrodaile. He had not the slightest knowledge of her before Rachel introduced her. Madame Rachel owed him some money for rent, for which he had applied before Mrs. Borrodaile came to his office. He sold out stock to the amount of £963 6s. Id., of that sum he paid Rachel £550, he deducted £127 for rent due, £62 10s. for rent not due, and £250 went into an account between herself and Rachel for rent. The Judge—Do you mean to say, Mr. Haynes, that Mrs. Borrodaile did not get a farthing of that money ?—Yes, my lord. The Judge—There is still £227 to account for. I gave an acknowledgment for that to Mrs. Borro daile, but it was afterwards returned to me by that lady, who stated that she had arranged matters with Madame Rachel. A number of other monetary transactions, amounting in the whole to nearly £4,000, were then minutely inquired into by the learned Sergeant, the witness giving explanations as to the parties re- ceiving the money. The witness said Rachel told him she had paid Captain William Ed- wards, Mrs. Borrodaile's cousin, a large sum of money. Amongst the items charged there was the sum of £lOO paid to Mr. Pyke, the jeweller. I❑ explanation witness said Mr. Pyke took Mrs. Bor rodaile's acceptance for £1,200 for some diamonds, and as the articles were afterwards not required the £lOO was paid for taking back the diamonds. Sergeans Ballantine—Then he took the accept ance for the diamonds, but they were never de livered up, so instead of selling he got the £lOO for keeping the jewels ?—Yes ; that is so. The Judge (looking at the cheques)—They all appear " for value received." That was not the case with the cheque for the diamonds. The witness stated that he thought Madame Rachel, by her transactions, acted as a sort of banker to Mrs. Borrodaile. Sergeant Ballantine—A banker of such a solid description that you deducted your rent for her premises before it became due. (Laughter.) This witness, in his cross-examination by Mr. I)igby Seymour, gave further explanations as to the payment of the money received on behalf of Mrs. Borrodaile, and also said that on one occasion a quarrel took place at his office, when Madame Rachel told Mrs. Borrodaile she was squandering her money on her paramour. He always believed that Mrs. Borrodaile was about to marry her cousin, Capt. William Edwards. Sergeant Ballantine—Then how comes it that in your bill of costs that on the 28th of September you charge her for an attendance with respect to her marriage with Lord Ranelagh ? Witness—l must have been told that such was the fact either by Madame Rachel or Mrs. Borro daile. Sergeant Ballantine—By whom ? Witness —I really cannot say ; it must have been one of the two. I always thought before that Mrs. Borrodaile was going to marry her cousin. James Minton then repeated the evidence he gave on the former I trial, with respect to copying letters for Madame Rachel. This witness gave his evidence in the most straightforward, manner, and when cross-examined by Mr. Digby Seymour he materially strengthened it by relating the circum stances connected with some leaves of his pocket book getting into the possession of the counsel for Madame Rachel. The leaves were obtained by some person who went to his mother and repre sented that he was about to get him a good situa tion, and it was necessary that he should require specimens of his handwriting. This person was shown the pocket-book, and then the leaves were removed. The paper placed in his hands memo randa, with respect to evidence to be given at the trial, he knew nothing about. Ile had no recol lection of making full notes of his own evidence. The leaves taken from his pocket-book had never been returned. By Sergeant Ballantine —lf he was allowed to look at the writing on the paper Mr. Seymour had, placed in his band, he could at once say, withont doubt or hesitation, whether it was in his handwriting or not Y It was impossible for him to deny or admit the handwriting without seeing it. lie knew there was but very little writing in the book when he last saw it. lie could produce the book from which the leaves had been removed to-morrow morning. The court here adjourned until to-morrow. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) William Brookes, and Caroline, his wife, were indicted for the manslaughter of their child, Bar bara Brookes, aged 12 months. They were further indicted for neglecting two other children, William aged four and a half years, and Elizabeth, two and a half years, and refusing to supply them with pro per food. The case was a very melancholy one. The pri soners, with five children, lived in a small room in Charlotte-street, Shoreditch, and it was stated that the three youngest were often left for a long period without food, and they were found in a deplorable condition. The youngest appeared to be dying, and shortly afterwards expired. They were shockingly emaciated, and it was eviden t they had been starved and neglected. The infant died from inflammation of the lungs pro duced by neglect and want of food. When their wretched state was discovered they were removed to the workhouse. The youngest child (the de ceased) weighed 81bs., the boy, 4i years old, 111bs. Goz., and the girl 2j- years old, 121bs. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence deferred.
