8 us. of meat, ills. of bread, ilb. of potatoes, S ia, of

o Reverend and D•ar Stir,— At this peculiar season of
goodwill end Christian love, we cannot expreas the
gratification it would have given us had it devolved on
us to have tendered yen, simply as a gift, the accompany.
ins tokens of the feelings of an attached parish and
congregation, who, for the space of almost six years,
have benefited by your ministrations. But as the
sulweription list which contains the 1141111`11 and contribu-
tions ut all ranks of your parishioners, from the Chief
Magistrate of the town to the poorest and humbleat
individual anionyt 13% describes these as forming the
testimonial on yonr leaving the parish where you have
so long officiated as parish priest, during which time you
hare fulfilled your duties in such a manlier as to gain
the respect and good will of your parishioners; it
becomes impossible to disguise the sentiments of regret
which consequently mingle with the owaviou. Holding
the pound' contributed by the affluent, and the pence
if the indigent, as of equal value, we have combined the
amount of the subacriptiona with which we have thus
been entreated, in the form of a tea service of plate, of
which we have now the honour, as churchwardens, to
desire your aceeptance. In directing your attention to
the inscription which the presentation bears, we can
emphatically confirm the statement of its being truly an
affectionate token of the appreciation of the faithful
manner in which you have discharged your duties, as •

feel cooltdent we express the heartfelt sentiments of all

THR "Navvies" IN THIS WittiT. —Large nurn•
hers of navvies are now employe,' on the Exeter, and
Yeovil, an.! Dartiuoutli, and Toorlcy lines, which are
in course of osinstructi-on in Deviiiis'nre. Efforts are
making loy many benevolent persons to elevate the
social and moral cionolitioin of these pair fellows, and
the resulta have hitherto been of a very gratifying
character. At Exeter, Mr. Patin, engineer of the
works, has established Sunday evening "Scripture
readings," at which many oif the navvies attend. A
few days ago 50 of these men were entertained to a
dinner, given in a large skittle-alley, in Exeter,
which was tastefully decorated with evergreens and
.as. After dinner the navvies presented Mr. W.
Palk. a young gentleman who haa zealously endea-
voured to abolish the truck system, which is so detri-
mental to their interests, with a handsome silvercup,
and drank his health with hearty cheers. A more
orderly or better conducted set of men could scarcely
be found than this party of navvies. On Chriettuas•
day 21-A of them, including their wives and children,
were regaled with a substantial meal of plum-puol-
ding, tea, cake, kc., in the 'reinperance-hall, Tor-
quay. Funds were kindly contributed by the Bishop
of Exeter, Miss Burdett Coutta, Mr. L. V. Palk,
M. I'., and Lady Aylmer. The mom was nicely
decorated, and thorough good humour and order pre•
sailed among the party. Soule Christmas hyms
were sung, and in the intervals short addresses were
delivered by several gentlemen present, the last being
by one oof the navvies, who returned his hearty
thanks for the kindness which he and _his fellow.
Labourers had received during their stay in Torquay,
and lie appealed to the readonsis which the navvios
had shown in helping on the occasion of the late
catastrophe as • Keel that no timid ladies need fear
the presence of the "rough casts of society" in their
neighbourhood, and concluded by vigourously &deo-
orating temperance on the !art of his brethren. The
evening waa closed by singing the Evening Hymn,
when the party quietly separated, evidently much
pleased with their entertainment.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

VRIDAT. Dec. al.—Coastwise. a fair ge miPPII of
English wheat- 4.560 quarters-11AM come (volt to hand
this week ; hut the receipts by lami carriage. tray morn-
ing, were trilling. Although the attendance of raillery
was small, the demand for moat kiwis of boine.growo
wheat RAA atewly, and in most instances. selected
samples were the turn dearer, when compared with
Monday. For foreign wheat, there was an improved
inquiry, but no change took place in the currencies.
The barley trade was very dull, owing to a large influx
front abroad-13,910 quarters—and late rates were
barely supported. We had a dull inquiry for malt, at
the late decline in value. Oats, beans, and peas
realised previous rates • but the demand for them was
by no means active. The flour trade ruled steady.

(Continued front the third page.)

FIRST COURT, TtwitsnAr.—(llefore the Rev. H. F.
Yestman. LL.B.)

Mary Jenkins, 29, was charged with obtaining 25.,
by false pretences from Hachacl Owen. at Piddletown,
on the 28th of July. It appeared that the prisoner had
sold prosecutrix a ring as gold for 25., which Mr. Saun-
ders, ailveramith, of Dorchester, said could be bought at
std. a dozen. She was found guilty, and sentenced to 4
months' hard labour. On receiving sentence the pri-
soner said, "Thank you, air. I sin strong enough to do
it." She only escaped conviction of a similar offence
by an informality in the indictment.
Henry Dnnsier, 71, labourer, against whom the grand
jury had ignored the bill charging him with obscenely
exposing himself, at Beaminster, on the 28th of July,
was this morning placed at the bar, and after a coin-
paint by the chsirinan as to an informality in the com-
mittal by the Beaminater magistrates, through which
they could not punish an incorrigible old offender, he was
ordered to be discharged.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

OCT.FIIDAT 2l.—There was only a limited supply of
English wheat on offer in to-day's market, and its gene-
ral quality was somewhat inferior. Prime samples of
both red and white moved off steadily, at full prices;
but low and damp qualities met a slow inquiry, at
Monday's currency. We were tolerably well, but not
to say heavily, supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Millen generally purchased cautiously,
yet priors were supported. There vu less activity in
the demand for floating cargoes, at late quotations.
We have again to report an active inquiry for nearly
all kinds of barley, especially for malting parcels, at
von, full prices. There was a moderate inquiry for
malt on former times. A steady consumptive busi-
ness was passing in oats, at previous rates; but beans
and peas were mesh neglected. Flour was unaltered in
wahte.

INDIA.

We learn from Calcutta that the Income-tax Bill had
passed through • second reading. Thu discharged
troops were arriving at Calcutta and shipped off sus fast
ae supplie. could be obtained. A battery of nine guns
bail been erected to command the river entrance of Ran-
telegraphic report published on Saturday, of an
alleged attack on a British station in Central India by
Peron Shah, appears to have been based on • misconcep-
tion. The following are the fact.:—" An emeute
&swag the convicts in the poi at Nsindlaisir, which is
about thirty miles Irons Mhow, took place on the :and
of August, and was attended with loss of life. The con-
vict guard, which consisted only of eight men of the
19th Bombay Native Infantry, was soddenly attacked
and overpowered by the prisoners, who numbered about
1.10. Upon bearing the noise, Captain Hewes, the
acting politisel at, with a pray of the 111th Native
Infantry. h to the gaol, which they found in
poessadon of the ooevicia. They commenced shooting
do sn es hit as they (kaki lin sad ; bid the

prisoners were too numerous. They wised one of the
and commenced firing upon Captain Haws and
his men. The former was soon hit, two bullets having
entered his body. Six guns and some sowers belonging
to Holkar fortunately arrived, or the whole detachment
would have been cut to pieces. Three or four of
Holkar's men were killed, and a number of the convicts.
Before leaving Mundlaisir they plundered the treasury.
Several of the convicts have been recaptured and
brought back to Mundlaisir, and many have lost their
lives during the firing. It is stated that the unfor-
tunate Captain Hawes was introducing a new prison
discipline, so that the gaol might really be a ph,„,, of
punishment instead of recreation, as is the case in too
many prisons in India, and that the rising was the re-
sult of the unweleome change."
The general position of the rebels on the frontier is
thus described in the Friend of Iwlia of August 25 :- -
"An occasional raid into the plains, plunder our
villages, and small skirmishes with our police, do not
allow us to forget the existence of rebels, or to shut our
eyes to the humiliation of still being compelled to
employ a large native force to watch them. We are
aware of all their movements, and have the pleasure of
submitting to their defiance of our power, so long as we
cannot enter the outlaying valleys in which they find
refuge. Our prestige still suffers, the frontier is still
insecure, our police and Sikhs are still annoyed becaute
the ally whom we have delighted to honour finds
pleasure in chuckling at our helplessness."

Amu anb Nat].

On Friday afternoon the first portion of the troops at
Chatham garrison who are to be instructed in embarking
and disembarking from the ships of war at Chatham
received their preliminary instruction, under the per-
sonal superintendence of Major-Oen. Eyre, command-
ant cf the garrison, and most of the principal officers
belonging to the various branches of the service. The
troops selected for the practice were about 250 men
of the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry, the
whole of whom were fully equipped and in heavy
marching order. In order to facilitate the instruction
of the men, two of the large launches from the dock-
yard. each capable of holding 60 men, were used for
conveying the men from shore to the ship. Contrary
to the usual custom, each man wore his knapsack, and
carried his musket into the boat, the latter being slung
on the arm. The embarcation of the troops was
effected in a very expeditious manner, the time
occupied in filling each boat being four minutes, six
minutes being required for the pull over to Her Majes-
ty's ship 'Tyne, and eight minutes spent in removing the
troops from the boats to the ship. After the whole
had embarked, the Marines were then disembarked man
equally expeditious and orderly manner. The remain-
der of the troops in garrison will be practised at fre-
quent intervals.

MKTROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

TkinanDAT, OCT. 20. Although the supply of beasts
in to-day's market was rather limited, the demand fer all
breeds ruled very inactive; nevertheless prices were sup-
ported. Sheep—the show of which was smaller than for
some time past-were in steady request, at fully Monday's
currency. Very prime old Ilowna would have produced
6a. 44. per Ma. We were scantily supplied with calves
for which the inquiry ruled somewhat inactive, at, in
some instances, an advance in the quotations of 24. per

Pigs were in request, at full currencies; but snitch cows
commanded very little attention.

ITALY.

The Duke ol Graminont, French Ambassador at
Rome, has held frequent conferences with the Pope
lately. It is said that his Holiness, urged by the French
Emperor, is about to issue a soothing manifesto to the
inhabitants of the States of the Church. A Paris cor-
respondent in Le Nor takes upon himself to mention
what the Emperor omitted, the exact day when the
red-legged guests are to quit the city of Rome, by the
road of Civita Vecchia. It is to be the hist day of the
year.
The Neapolitan corps-d'armie on the frontiers is
being continually increased ; it will amount to 30,000
men. There is great activity in all the arsenals. The
whole ormy has gradually been placed on a war
footing. _ . .

King Victor Emmanuel arrived on Saturday at
Genoa, to receive the Einprosa Dowager of Russia, who

amount of business passing in it. However, no disposi-
tion has been shown to accept lower rates. A few par-

At the principal provincial corn markets on Saturday
last trade was in general dull. Wheat remained about
sanae; good malting qualities of barley were rather
dearer, other aorta cheaper than of late. New oats were
• dull sale, and prices Is. lower. New beans and peens
were the turn in favour of the purchaser, but old bears
commanded late rates.

AT AXIMIIIITRR FAIR, on Wednesday, the supply of

Rescue FROM DROWNING.—A young lady had a
narrow escape from drowning a few days since while
bathing on the shore at \ eutnor. Her sister was
bathing from another machine, between which and
her own a third had been drawn down, and the
young lady, seeking to pass from one to the other,
was caught by the ground-swell, which is verypower-
ful on this beach, and having incautiously let go of
the rope, lost her footing, and was carried into deep
water, where she must have inevitably perished but
for the courage and presence of mind of her sister,
who, seeing the danger, called loudly for assistance
and dashmf through the waves to her rescue. Though
previously unable to swim, she managed to supoort
herself and prevent her sister, whom she had seized
by her dress, from being carried any further into the
sea until help arrived. The first who came to the
young ladies' assistance was a Lad of IS, who unaware
of the shelving nature of the shore attempted to walk
out to them, and suddenly tumbling down a steep
bank of shingle, loot his pretence of mind, and was
unable to to more than save himself ; happily be was
immediately followed by a boy of 16, who plunged
gallantly int, the weeds and drew the ladies to shore,
By this time the first was ill a drowning state, and
but for the weans promptly and efficiently employed
by Mr. J. 11. Martin, the well-known medical practi-
tioner of Ventnor, very serious results must have en-
sued. The accident, so nearly attended with fatal
results, while it proves a waniing to incautious bathers
of the perils of a shingly shore, where the descent is
frequently so sudden, and the level constantly shift-
ing, will, it is hoped, enforce on the I. 'cal authorities
the necessity of providing proper attendants in con-
nexion with the bathing machine', for the want of
whom many weak and tiUlid invalids are entirely
prevented from availing themselves of this delightful
and invigorating exercise . Complaints of the want
of efficient "guides" for the bathers at Ventnor have
been frequently made to the proprietors tithe ma-
chines, but hitherto in vain. It is hoped that a fatal
accident may not be essential to lead them to correct
their short sighted policy.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.
The following is an extract from a reply by Ca 144111,,,
Welintoak to some queries addresied to him by r.
Selby, of Spalding:
"Dublin, OeL 17, 1109:

"in my published report I simply stated the leading
(sets of our discoveries. There was not room to express
opinions; besides which I wished that all interested
readers should draw their own inferences. The boat
was only 65 miles from the ship, and I believe it to
have been returning for more provisions. The two
skeletons found in it were probably the boatkeePere—
men unabled to march with the others, all of whom I
suppose to have proceeded for the short remaining
distance without the boat. There was ammunition in
abundance, but the country—the early spring, at least,
when our countrymen were there—affords no game
whatever. Even EttqUilllMll cannot live there.
"With regard to provisions, you will observe that I
mentioned chocolate, tea, and tobacco. It is clear that
these alone will not sustain fife. You are doubtless
aware that an unusually large quanity of solid animal
food is necessary, even to men in vigorous health, in
cold climates. Had the country been capable of sustain-
ing natives, not one of these traces would have re-
mained for us to gather up.
"With respect to an overland expedition, you may
recollect that such was sent out by the Admiralty under
a Hudson's Bay officer, Mr. Anderson, in 1855, in prefe-
rence to a naval expedition by Barrow's Straits. Mr.
A. descenfied the Black Weer to its mouth, and dis-
covered tfaces of Europeans upon Montreal Island.
Therefore I do not think further records would be found
by a second expedition over the same ground. You will
observe that my first care was to reach Montreal Island
and Point Ogle, where Anderson's search terminated,
and after re-examining those positions to complete the
search from thence to where the lost people landed from
their ships. The greater part of this painfully interest-
ing route was gone over three times— twice by Lieut.
Hobson and once by myself. The natives repeatedly
told us that all the white people had died.
"I am, yours very sincerely.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian financial year terminates on the 31st of
October, and we are presented in the middle of that
month in 1859 with the account of the revenue and ex-
penditure for 1867 and 1858. It may be urged in excuse
for this tardiness that the Austrian balance-sheet exhi-
bits a state of things which no Government would be in
any hurry to dimities to its subjects. The expenditure
for the year 1858 was 319,022,564 florins, and the total
revenue 282.540,723 florins, and therefore the deficit
was 36,481,861 florins, or upwards of three millions and
a half sterling. This was the expenditure of • year of
prufdund peace, undisturbed either by wars or rumours
of wars, for the first threatening note was sounded on
the lit of January in the present year. The total &li-
cit in 2 years, ending 185$, is 452,674,679 florins. The
florin is about 2s.

An Oficial notice has been given that the reserve m:li-
tar), maim, which had hem) drawn for ,ervice during the
war, will he dioniiii,ed, and that tb,. tax. exempting civi-
lians from military duty % ill be rein.ditutml.

Hubner and swim members of the old Conservative Hun-
garian party. What took place at this conference is not

THE MORTARA ABDUCTION.

All the efforts of Sir Moses Monte Sore and the depu-
ties of the British Jews having proved ineffectual in ob-
taining the restoration of the child Mortara to its pa-
rents, a committee of gentlemen in the city felt that
some protest was demanded on behalf of British Chria-
tians, and the following protest having been privately
circulated has been most extensively signed, and • copy
of it boa been forwarded to the French Ainbaseador :
"Whereas a Jewish child, Edgar Mortara, son 01 Mo-
mole Mortara, late of Bologna, in Italy, was, on the 24th
of June, 1858, forcibly seized and taken from his
parents, by order of the Cardinal Vile Prela, Arch-
bishop of Bologna and Legate of Pope Pius IX:
"And whereas the ground of the said seizure was,
that the said child, Edgar Mortara, had been secretly
baptised by a Roman Catholic maidservant six years
previously, being then of the age of 12 months:
"And whereas the said child was, by order of the
said Cardinal Legate, conveyed by night, under an es-
cort of Gendarmes, to the Convent of Ban Pietro in Via-
ooli at Rome, and is there detained contrary to UM
WWI. and notwithstanding the protestations of his
parents:
"And whereas the Government of France has in vain
urged the Court of Rouse to restore the said child to his
parents:
' And whereas Sir Moses Montellore, Bart., at the re-
quest of the deputies of the British Jews, made on the
22nd of December, 1858, went to Rome in their name,
to present a memorial to the Pope, signed by the whole
of the said deputies, asking for the liberation of the said
child Edgar Mortara; and whereas tbePope refused even
to see Sir Moses Monteflore •' and Cardinal Antonelli,
Minister of State, has declared to Sir Moses Monte-
Sore that the Roman Government will not release the
child

And whereas it is • dishonour to Christianity in the
eyes of the Jews among all nations that the seizure and
detention of the said child, Edgar Mortara, shoold be
supposed to be consistent with the principles of the
Christian religion :
" Now we, the undersigned British Christians, do here-
by protest and declare that the proceedings of the Pope
of Rome in taking away the Jewish child, Edgar Mor-
tara from his parents, and educating him contrary to
his parents' will, in the Roman Catholic faith, are repul-
sive to the instincts of humanity, and in violation of pa-
rental rights and authority, as recognized in the laws
and usuges of all civilized nations, and above all,
in direct opposition to the spirit and precepts of the
Christian religion."
The protest is signed by • large number of most dis-
tinguished personages, dignitaries of the Church, heads
of the nobility, members of Parliament, and others.
