Almost the only feature in Stock Exchange seen- Eties this morning is a decline of 1 per cent. in Caledonian Railway shares upon the interim interdict against the payment of the dividend granted on Saturday. As a rule railways are steady. South Eastern and Great Northern opened flat upon the commencement of the settlement, but Great East ern, Metropolitan, London and North-Western, and Brighton are in demand. Canadian and American railways are also firmer. The Eng lish funds are unchanged. Foreign Government Bonds are without uniform movement, but the market is firm for all the really good stocks. The inquiry for money in Lombard-street is still quiet, and the rate is 1 to 1i per cent. The corn market is dull, and prices are barely maintained.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Sayers, of Horsham, Sussex, was charged before Mr. Tyrwbitt with stealing, in 1866, three silver mounted horse hoof snuff boxes, of the value of £3O, the property of Mr. Wm. Thomas Fraser, of the Conservative Club, with whom he was then living as servant. Mr. Froggatt appeared for the prisoner. Police-constable Charles Butcher, 137 C, said that he apprehended the prisoner yesterday morn ing at Horsham, and charged him with stealing horse hoof snuff boxes at the Conservative Club in 1866. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the hoofs water; that he remembered going to the Club, and fetching away some parcels left there by Mr. Fraser, but that he did not know that there were any hoofs in them. The prisoner said he knew nothing whatever of the hoofs in any way. Mr. Fraser was in Scotland when the hoofs were taken from the club. Mr. NV. Thomas Fraser, of No. 2, Great George street, Westminster, said—ln August, 1866, he left for Scotland, and the hoofs at that time had been left at a silversmith in Bond-street, with instructions that they were to be sent to the club. The prisoner had instructions from him to take the parcels from the club and to bring them to him (Mr. Fraser) in Scotland, but he did not do so. The prisoner left his service about two months after he went to Scotland and he never saw him again. He (Mr. Fraser) returned from Scotland last spring and ascertained from the silversmith that he had sent the hoofs to the club as directed. The prisoner had no permission to deal with the hoofs in any way. In answer to Mr. Froggatt, the prosecutor said that after telling the prisoner to bring the hoofs to him in Scotland, he directed him not to come, but he did not give him any directions about the parcel. He did not recollect whether the prisoner wrote to him in November, 1866, but he received a letter from him in August. He had a good character from the prisoner, and not knowing that the hoofs were gone, gave him one when he left him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner till the day when Miller, charged with receiving the hoops, was to be brought up, and on the application of Mr. Froggatt, consented to take a £5O bail for the prisoner. SPORTING NOTES. There will be no lack of sport this week, as there ars meetings at Bedford, Sutton Park, the Caledonian Hunt, Leicester, and Bromley. The Bedford Meeting will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the twelve races in the list promise to afford some average sport. The Bedfordshire Stakes (2 miles course) has secured eleven acceptances, and the highest-weighted horse is Tertullus, Bst 101 b. He, however, cannot beat Black Diamond, 7st 91b (including 51'e extra); Furious, ist 61b ; and Percussibn, Est 121 b. This trio, measured by their running over the Cesarewith course, are very closely handicapped. Nevertheless, Furious and Black Diamond should again beat Percussion ; and as Furious will meet Black Diamond on 81b easier terns at Bed ford than he did at Newmarket, Count Bstthyany's horse is entitled to the preference. In the Elstow Stakes (4 furlongs) Wadlow's pair, Isis and Salliet, have been the most favourably handicapped, though Bounceaway, Out and-Outer, Herennianue, Bassoon, and Patti are smart animals over short courses. For the Southill Stakes (1 mile) fifteen candidates have been named, and the most noteworthy of these are Lady Sophie, Bst; Jeannie Deane, 7st 10lb ; Ligurian, 7st 91b ; and Cornet, ist 21b. Consi dering his numerous victories, Cornet must ba pro nounced well in, and to him and Ligurian we leave the race. There is an excellent entry of thirty-three for the Woburn Park Stakes (4 furlongs), and the most not tble names therein are De Vero, Sister to Veda, Lelia, The Baroness, Perfume, Bonnie Katie, Pirate King, Winifred, and Carolina. On public form it is long odds on De Vere and Perfume beating the lot opposed to them; but, as neither horse may run, the winner will probably be found in The Baroness, who is under orders for Bedford. On Wednesday, in the Stratton Park Nursery Handicap (6 furlongs), nineteen juveniles have been engaged, and the highest weight —Bst 101 b—has been awarded to Rosary. For the winner, however, we shall look to the elected of Blantoo's pair, Miss Dayrell or Main, though Roseclear, 7st 41b, is sufficiently well known to have a good outside chance. The Scurry Handicap (4 furlongs) has been well patronised, no fewer than thirty-one horses of various ages having been nominated for it. Many of the candidates belong to the fast school, but the race appears likely to be won by the Stanton representative, Isis or Salliet, who are well in in this event, and also the Elstow Stakes. The Sutton Park Autumn Meeting will also take place on Tuesday and Wednesday; but, a 3 this gathering is mainly dependent on the Hednesford and Stanton stables for support, the racing will not b e of an interesting description. Only the Birming ham Autumn Handicap and the Maiden Two-year-old Stakes, on Tuesday, and the Sutton Park Cup, the Nursery Plate, and the Aston Welter Cup, on Wednesday, will permit of notice at this date. In the Birmingham Autumn Handicap (11 miles) twenty-six horses have been nominated, but, as the minor forfeit goes to the fund and no declaration is required, it is difficult to determine what horses will run. Success, Bst 121 b, has been honoured with the top weight, but over this course we prefer Barnabo and Redivivus, the better of whom may win. The Maiden TWo-year-old Stakes (5 fur.) should be won by Basilia, whose best opponents will be found in Emerald and Finesse. For the Sutton Park Cup (5 fur.) thirteen entries have been made, and Moonbeam or Epworth should be found good enough to win. The Nursery Plate (6 fur longs) we shall assign to the lone filly or Dalwhiunie ; and the Aston Welter Cup (1 mile) to Life Guardsman. The Royal Caledonian Hunt and Western Meeting will be celebrated at Ayr, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The course is situate in the heart of the "land of Burns," and English sportsmen who visit this gathering will be well rewarded by a trip to Ayr, the scenery around which is of a most enchanting character. In the programme issued by Mr. Shaw there are twenty one races, three of which are completed for the first day, namely, the Caledonian Handicap, the Ayr Gold Cup, and the Nursery Plate. Seventeen horses remain in the Cale donian Handicap (li miles), three of which are in Sir F. Johnstone's interest. Unfortunately, this warm patron of the meeting does not, owing to a recent domestic bereavement, run any horses at Ayr. In the ab sence, therefore, of Sir F. Johnstone' horses, it is long odds on the Tupgill representative, which may be chosen from The Priest or Min-' ster Bell. For the Ayr Gold Cup (2 mike) eighteen can didates have been named, and the pick of these are King's Cross, Bst 61b (inc 71b extra); The Corporal, 751 121 b ; The Priest, 7st 10lb; and Tabouret, 7st 81b. At present King's Cross is in good form ; but in this Cup he will succumb to the elected of T. Dawson's trio, which, we presume, will be Tabouret, who is a fine stayer. In the Nursery Plate(about 5 furlongs) seventeen two-year-olds have been handicapped, and the weights range from Lord Hawthorn, Bst I.olb, to Hunter, 6st 81b. The horses most favour ably treated are Roydt Rake, Tat 31b; Sweet Annie, 7st 31b ; Candide, 7st; and Hunter, Est 81b. Royal Rake is a remarkably good-looking colt, and showed such fine speed in the Doncaster Nursery that we ar© necessitated to associate him with Hunter, and to this pair we shall look for the winner. The only closed races for Thursday are the Ayrshire Handicap and the Western Meeting Plate (6 furlongs). For the latter event thirty-three horses have been handicapped. Of these the best aro Honesty, Bst 121 b ; Verulam, 7st 21b ; Shamrock, 7st 41b; Tripthong, Est 91b ; Harmony, fist 51b ; and Stamford (late Helvellyn), Est 21b. Honesty, if he runs, can scarcely be defeated ; but, in case Mr. Mastermau's horse is an absentee, Verulam and Tripthong may be worth trusting. For the Ayrshire Handicap (about 1- miles) nineteen horses stand from the twenty-nine originally weighted. The most taking of those left in are Mandrake, Sat ; Honesty, 7st 131 b ; Lady Henrietta, Est 1 llb ; and Minster Bell, 6st 91b. Here again Honesty is well in, but, as we fear the distance is longer than he will care to travel, our vote must be in favour of Mr. Johnstone's re presentative, Mandrake or Minster Bell, and, not withstanding his heavy weight, we prefer the first-named horse. On Friday, in the Cale donian Hunt Handicap (11 miles) sixteen horses have accepted, and the post of honour is filled by Three per Cent. He does not, however, read so tempting as The Corporal, Bst llb ; Declaration, 7st 81b ; Paganini, 7st 41b ; and Harmony, Est Bst. For the Corporal, should he be the elected of the Tupgill lot, we have a strong penchant, and his most dangerous opponents may be discovered in Harmony and Declaration. - There are fourteen nomina tions to the Welter Cup (11- miles), and if Three per Cent. does not incur a penalty between now and the day on which this race is decided, he will be bad to beat. After Sir W. Eliott s hors e next best looking at the weights are Verulam and Susan. For the Leicester Meeting, on Thursday and Friday, Mr. Marshall has issued an attractive bill of fare, which in cludes fifteen races, those closed for the first day being the Leicester Handicap, the Town Plate, the Scurry Handi cap, and the Gospel Park Stakes. In the Leicestershire Handicap (li miles) fourteen horses have been engaged, and the best may be found in Tribune ani Percussion, though Ligurian and Ajax will be dangerous, if sent to Leicester. The Town Plate (6 furlongs) will be secured by Salliet or Jeanie Deans; the Scurry Handicap (4 fur longs) by Ettrick or Bassoon; and the Gopsal Park Stakes (4 furlongs) by Lord of the Valley or Carlotta. On Friday in the Curzon Nursery Plate (6 furlongs) twenty-two juveniles have been handicapped, and the most leniently treated of these are Robespierre, ist 101 b ; Lady of Croome, 7st 61b ; Lady in Wait ing, Est 101 b ; Kicksey Wicksey, Est 81b ; and the colt by Knight of Kars out of Shelah, sst 121 b. In Robes pierre we are sure there is a good race, and only in the absence of Captain Machell's fine colt should we anticipate the victory of Lady of Croome. In the Borough Handicap (4 furlongs) Isis and Bassoon have not been over weighted, neither has Barnabo in the Welter Plate (one mile). A FRESH MAN. THE FALL OF A, WAREHOUSE IN ItelL, Some details are now to hand of the accident at Trull, announced in our paper of Saturday. From the descrip tion in the Eastern Morning News it appears that the " Old Sugar House " was a large and apparently dilapi datad pile of brick building, and built in 1731. Its dimen sions are stated to have been 73 ft. in length, 46 ft. in breadth, and 74ft. in height, and is said to have had 138 windows. The building was at one time used as a sugar-refining house, but that business has not been carried on for the last twenty-one years. The Towns Improvement Committee, seeing the great increase of traffic at the district in question, negotiated with Messrs. Walker and Smith, who had not long ago bought the property, for the purchase of a portion of the building, in order to widen Lime-street. The negotiations, however, did not result in the purchase. The building was divided into what may be called the double house and the single house. The double house was on the south side, and was stored with grain amounting, it is said, to 15,000 quarters. Very contradictory statements are made with reference to the number of persons engaged about the building. at the time of the accident, but it seems pretty certain that there were about twenty men and boys about the premises, seven of whom were engaged in the cooperage. The most singular circumstances, connected with the case is that for some minutes the catastrophe was pre-indicated by the seed falling out of the windows. Attention to this uncommon circumstance was imme diately directed, and it is said that the men were leaving the premises at the time the structure fell. A search was at once commenced for the buried bodies. A difficulty arose as to the portion of the ruins which should be undermined for the recovery of them. Silence was proclaimed, in order to see if any of the victims would intimate their whereabouts by shouting for assistance, or by groaning. After a short time a cry for help was heard. About two o'clock five bodies were discovered, but in each case life was extinct. The results of the occurrence were, there is every reason to believe, anticipated somewhat. It was confidently asserted that the ruins, which filled up and completely blocked a portion of Lime-street, had buried several foot passengers. In few streets of that part of the town is there more traffic, it being the principal thoroughfare to all the business establishments on that side of the river. It was asserted, however, by a man named Robinson, in the most positive manner, that the street was clear at the time of the accident. He says he saw a woman with two children in the street, and that he succeeded in getting them out of the way before the fall. The damage done to the surrounding property is not so great as might have been expected. THE SIAMESE TWINS. The Paris Illustration publishes a portrait (or portraits) of the Siamese twins, who are about to entrust themselves to the celebrated surgeon M. N6laton with a view to being separated. The twins are simply and quietly dressed in costumes of identical pattern and colour—dark morning coat, dark trousers, plaid waistcoat. It appears from a memoir which accompanies the drawing that the two brothers, one of whom is named Chang, the other Eng, are fifty-four years old, and that they were only four when they were taken from their native land and brought to Europe, whence, after they had been exhibited for some years (with great advantage to themselves and others), they proceeded to the United States. Here, after a certain time, they bought land, made the acquaintance of "two charming sisters," who consented to marry them, settled on their estate, begot nine children each, and lived together in great happiness until the American civil war broke out. Then Chang declared him self a Unionist, Eng a Secessionist, and the quarrels between them became so violent that the twins were at one time on the point of fighting a duel. So, at least, says the author of the article in the Illustration, who writes with the air of a man enjoying special sources of informa• tion. Seven thousand four hundred and seventy-one persons have been added to the constituency at Bristol by the new Reform Bill. The third of the railway porters who were burned by an explosion of petroleum at Foaty station, Queens town, some days ago, has died, after much agony. A new London evening paper is announced to appear on Thursday next, to be called the Evening Mercury. It will be published at one halfpenny, and will be (so says the prospectus) a first-class newspaper and literary journal. MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD. A sad affair occurred in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield on Saturday night. A man was found in the garden of Mr. Alderman Drabble, Hasland, near that town, and the coachman, a man named Kilk, suspecting that he had been stealing potatoes, seized him, with the intention of giving him into custody. The suspected thief stabbed Kilk, who died in a few minutes. The murderer has not yet been appre hended. FALL OF A WINCII.--TwO MEN KILLED.—An accident has occurred at Manley, at the works of the West Cheshire. Railway, by the breaking of a beam and the falling of a large winch. Three men were severely injured, one of them dying almost immediately, another on the following morning, and the third now lying at the Chester Infirmary. The inquest on the deceased persons was held on Thursday, and a verdict of accidental death returned. Among the many " Congresses" that met in the course of this month all over the Continent, there is one which deserves especial notice, viz., the Congress of the Deaf and Dumb that held its meetings in Berlin. The principal object of their discussion was the desirableness of finding a substitute for their present " finger language." The meetings went off very pleasantly, and after the day's work the members used to congregate at some social " Bierhalle" for a pleasant, though inaudible chat. COPPER ORE SALE.—At the Swansea ticketing on Tuesday 1,682 tons of copper ore were sold, which realised £19,190 75., being an average of £ll Bs. 2d. per ton. The averages on the whole sale were as follows : Average produce, 16i per cent. ; price per unit of produce, 13s. 7d. ; price per ton of 21 cwt. dry weight, £ll Bs. 2d. ; standard, £Bl 11s. ; standard calculated for 9 per cent. produce, £9O 13s. At the previous sale 2,862 tons were sold, and the average standard for 9 per cent. 'pro duce was £92 4s. 6d., and the average price per ton £9 ss. Bd. Dean Ramsay, in his " Pulpit Table Talk," relates a story of Robert Hall. One of the members of his flock, a presumptuous and pompous man, took Hall to task for not preaching more frequently or more fully on predestination. Hall, the most moderate and cautious of men on this awful question, was very indignant, and, looking steadfastly at his censor, said : " Sir, I see you are predestined to be an ass, and, what is more, I see that you are determined to make your calling and election sure." THE LAST OF THE " DAY'' NEWSPAPER.--At length the creditors of the Day, a newspaper which was started in the session of 1867, with the idea of promoting " Constitutional Liberalism," are to be paid in full. When the paper stopped, on the 6th of May last year, a promise was made on the part of Earls Grosvenor and Lichfield and Lord Elcho, that all the bond fide creditors should be paid 20s. in the pound. This has now been done, minus the small dividend which had been previously de clared. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—A telegram re ceived from Edinburgh brings the news that an interim interdict has been granted against the Caledonian Rail way, at the instance of Mr. Glen, of Glasgow, prohibiting the directors from payment of the ordinary dividend for the half year ending July last, from carrying any sum to the next half-year's revenue, and from applying to the dividend money raised under certain Acts. Thus, on the motion of Mr. Glen, 1112 Caledonian will for a second time be embarrassed with regard to its dividend. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST OVERSEERS.—Proceeding., have been taken against four of the overseers of Leeds, on the ground that they were disqualified by certain circum stances for their posts, and the case was beard before the justices at the town hall, on Friday. It was alleged against three of them—Messrs. Thomas Greenwood, James Thomas Fleck, and Thomas Carvell—that since their appointment they had removed their residences beyond three miles from the boundary of the borough ; and against Mr. J. D. Woodcock that he had not, when he was appointed, been rated to the relief of the poor at a rateable value of £3O. The justices found the cases against Messrs. Greenwood and Carvell not proved, but decided against Messrs. Fleck and Woodcock, and declared their appoint ments vacant. The native papers in India aro warmly discussing the advantages of the appointment of one of her Majesty's sons as perpetual Viceroy of India. One of the journals argues that as the Queen's eldest son claims the title of Prince of Wales, so her Majesty's second should claim the title Viceroy of Hind. The objection that the Governor-General of India requires experience and merit of the first order could be easily overcome by fair argument, and if, in the experience of Indian affairs, patronage and favour are combined with prejudice, it is better not to possess any experience at all. The remedy for such inexperience in any Viceroy of Hind can be found in many ways ; but if innate good qualities are not to be found in a viceroy it would be difficult to supply them. " One good thing would arise out of the nppointmettt of a prince to rule in India : all the inhabi tants of the country would turn to him with loving hearts, and no one would be found wanting in fidelity and 44cieot tiwzgigre 0 tilt WESTMINSTER. GROSS OUTRAGE AT A TAVERN.—William Barry, a labourer, was charged with the following outrage at the house of Mrs. Gascoyne, the Royal Clarence tavern, Westbourne• place, Pimlico. Complainant said that he came into her house on Saturday nignt, having a dispute with a cabman, and called for liquor. Mrs. Gas coine, seeing he had been drinking freely, recommended him to go home and have a cup of tea, telling him it would do him a great deal more good than liquor. He became very much excited on being told this, and endeavoured to get over the bar and seize Mrs. Gascoigne by the throat. Complainant was called and recommended him to leave the house, but he refused, and when complainant tried to put him out he knocked him severely and repeatedly. When he got out he in tentionally made a blow at a pane of plate glass with the side of his head. The damages was £2. Defendant—l am very sorry, and lam sure I'll pay for the glass if he will forgive me. Mr. Self e—l shan't allow a compromise of that sort after such conduct. Complainant—l have no wish to press this matter particularly, but for my own sake and others in the trade I have found it my duty to come forward. Here is a hard working man with a family, and I am very sorry he conducted him self so. Defendant—l was mad drunk. Complainant—That I deny. You knew full wel' what you were doing. Mr. Selfe—He is fined 10s., with 40s. damages, and in default committed for a mouth. THAMES. A FLAGRANT NUISANCE ON TIIE SABBATH DAT. Three lads, named William Norman, William Dale, and Jeremiah Shen, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with playing at a game called pitch and toss, which, under a recent Act of Parliament, can now be punished with great severity. Mr.,W Walker,timber. merchant, Mill wall, Poplar, said that a footpath ran through his wharf, and many boys, whose language was foul and abominable, had been in the practice :of assembling there every Sunday and playing at pitch and toss with half pence. The windows in his house were often broken by these scamps. If they were remonstrated with the boys used abusive language and threats. The prisoners were engaged in playing at pitch and toss with halfpence on the wharf and made a great noise. He asked the magistrate to speak sharply to the boys. He did not want them to be committed to prison. Mr. Paget—l shall not only speak very sharply to them, but act sharply, if this nuisance is not discontinued. I have not the slightest doubt of the accuracy of this ,gentleman's statement. You lads have no right to be on the wharf at all or to be carrying on a game of pitch and toss in a public place at any time. This is generally a Sunday nuisance and must be sup pressed. I give you all warning if you are brought before me again for a similar offence I shall punish you severely. The gentleman don't wish you to be punished and I will allow you to be discharged. Major T. 11. Clarkson, late Adjt. of the Bth Depot Battalion at Colchester, has joined at Chat ham for duty with the 3d Depot Battalion, succeed ing Major J. C. Jervoise, who has retired from the service by the sale of his commission. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived in town on Saturday, from Golding Lodge, the Earl of Chesterfield's shooting box in Nottinghamshire. His Royal Highness transacted business at the Horse Guards on Saturday. A letter from Bangkok states that the Supreme King of Siam, who is a very observant astronomer, and himself edits an almanac which is published at Bangkok, left his capital in August last, with a number of the most intelligent persons of his court, for Wai-Wan, iu the Gulf of Siam, where ho would personally direct the ob servations of the total eclipse of the sun. LIBERAL GAINS IN WEST SUFFOLK.—The Liberals have been gaining great successes in the registration courts of the West Suffolk division. At the court held before W. Mayd, Esq., for the Bury St. Edmunds polling district, they claim to have achieved a gain of 103 ; and these, added to successes in other districts, make a total gain of nearly 300, and several other districts have yet to be visited. They appear to have made a great onslaught on the clergy, many of whose qualifications have been so loosely inserted in past years that nothing was wanted but an objection in order to get them struck off, so that a large number of that body have lost their stel foi the pre sent year. A letter from Basle says : —ln many of the Swiss cantons the formalities preceding marriage are so onerous that a legitimate union is often inaccessible to modest purses. The Constituent Assembly of Zurich has just taken a resolution on this subject, which does honour to the liberal spirit which presides over the deliberations of that body. After having voted by an immense majority the introduction of the optional civil ceremony, it has abolished all taxes hitherto imposed on those who wish to be united; the latter in future will only have to pay some trifling fees. The intervention of functionaries and ecclesiastics in the celebration of the rite is to be gratui tous. RATES OF POSTAGE TO BRITISH COLUMBIA.—On the Ist of October next, and thenceforward, the entire postage if any must be paid in advance on letters addressed to British Columbia and Vancouver's Island, but letters may be posted unpaid if the senders desire it. The postage will bo at the rate of one shilling for every half ounce, and no further charge will be made on delivery. Registered letters will be liable, in addition, to a registration fee of 4d. each, which, with the postage, must also be paid in advance. Upon newspapers, books, and trade patterns, the postage will remain as at present, viz.: —For each newspaper not exceeding 4oz. in weight, 2d. ; above 40z., and not exceed ing -Vb., 4d. For books and trade patterns a racket not exceeding 40z., 4d, with 4d. additional for every weight of 4oz. These rates must be prepaid. As in the case of letters, no further charge will bo made on delivery of newspapers, books, or trade patterns in British Columbia and Vancouver's Island.

THE IRISH CHURCH.—Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., in fulfilment of a promise given on a recent occasion, on Friday night again addressed the electors of Halifax, confining himself entirely to the subiects of the Irish Church and the land question. Ho expressed himself in favour of disestablishment and " utter disendowment" of the Irish Church, and, with some detail, reviewed the re port of the commission, contending that the inconsisten cies and contradictions to which the intelligent, well meaning, and liberal-minded men who formed that com mission were inevitably driven, arose from their desire to reform and remodel an institution which could only be reformed by being swept away. Mr. Akroyd also ad dressed the meeting, at the close of which a resolution ap proving of their joint candidature was passed. ACCIDENTS AT THE ST. PANCRAS STATION. — On Saturday two accidents occurred at the New Midland Railway Station in Euston-road. Walter Mit chell, aged 18, a labourer, employed by the contractors, fell front a high roof and sustained such serious injuries that he had to be taken to the Royal Free Hospital. Henry Duffin, aged 14, of 15, Ryder-street, Chelsea, a labourer, also fell from a roof, and was taken to the same hopital katuirig from co9c l ioa of the SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CORN. The general aspoct of the trade is without much varia tion ; but, if anything, the tone is barely so firm. The country markets come mostly higher on the week, buy finishing up at barely their best points. At Mark-lane this morning there was not a large at.. tendance, and the trade was slow. There was a good supply of English wheat which ren dered buyers more cautious. At the opening previous rates were asked, but when sales were effected prices were the turn easier. Foreign wheat was also in good supply, and to effect sales rather lower rates had to be taken. Floating cargoes of wheat are in good demand, and fine qualities command stiffer prices .Taganrog Ghirkas, at 49s to 50s, c. f. and i., according to quality,/ The flour trade is dull, with quotations favouring buyers. Malt is a slow sale, but fine qualities quite as dear. Fine malting barley firm, with moderate inquiry. Grinding sorts rather quiet, without material change. Beans and peas firm, with light supplies. New oats Gd cheaper for the week. Other sorts unal tered, and the trade quiet. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Supplies of stock were much lighter this morning, and trade consequently more cheerful, although the reports from Nowgate and Leadenhall rather damped the rise in prices. Of beasts there were 60 from Scotland, 360 from Ire land, 1,910 from various parts of England, and 2,280 from abroad. Of choice beef there was very little offering, and higher rates were fixed. Middling also sold dearer. The number of sheep was 24,330, and for good saleable descriptions the demand was rather brisk. Large sheep did not sell so well, but realised advanced prices, 46 calves on sale. Pork ruled quito up to last quotations. Thirty-five pigs at market. Total at market—Beasts, 4,610 ; sheep, 24,330 ; calves, 46 ; pigs, 35. Quotations—Beef, 5s 4d to 5s Gd; mutton, 3s 2d to 5s 4d; Veal, 3s Gd to 5s 10d; pork, 3s 2d to 4s 8d per stone of Bd, sinking the offal. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Meat.—Supplies wero shorter this morning, but prices were no better, the demand being in some instances checked by the closeness of the weather, and further than that the trade is usually quieter in Michaelmas week. We quote beef 3s 4d to 4s 6d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 4d; veal, 4s Od to 4s 10d ; pork, 4s to 5s ; lamb, 3s 4d to 4s per stone of Sibs by the carcase. PROVISIONS. Butter—The trade was rather short this morning, and prices hardly so firm, although not getting lower. Best Frieiland, 126 s to 128 s per cwt. Bacon maintains a firm position, and quotations remain at the recent advance. Cheese Demand is steady, and rates tend against buyers of foreign, whilst prices of English are firmly sup poz ted. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar.—On the spot the market is firm, but without activity. Floating cargoes are in request, and still tend upwards in value. Havannah, 25s 9d per cwt. Coffee is inactive and quotations unaltered. Tea—The market is dull, but quotations are not in. creased. Rice is held for full terms, at which only a limited busi • ness is doing. Saltpetre letls—Alar isu k n e l t al quiet, iited 3a at late quotations. Oils—Linseed, 30s 6d; rape, 31s 6d per cwt. spot ; sperm, £93 per ton. WOOL. The sales of colonial linen furnished 208,000 bales, having been declared, 20,000 bales withdrawn, 80,000 bales sold for export, and the remainder purcnased by the linen trade. Prices compared with the previous series are ld lower for good faultless wools, 2d to 3d lower for middling, and 3d per lb for defective, of which latter a very large proportion consisted. The decline is attri buted in some manner to the indifferent qualities of much of the wool offered, but more particularly to the continu ously heavy supplies. TALLOW. Stocks this day 23,712 casks against 15,881 casks last your ; delivery, 3,942 casks ; arrivals, 3,791 casks. BOROUGH HOP. Henry Turnbull and Co. report, the market continues active for all descriptions of the new crop, and the demand of 8s to lOs per cwt. of last Monday for fine hops is con fined to-day. Middling and low qualities also sell more freely at rather improving prices. ihare: 1 5I 92 i
