o'clock he saw about twenty lads forming a ring, with the

The prisoner denied gambling or betting. He was peel-

A shabby-looking man here stepped forward and in-

the latter attended races with betting agents. There
was no harm in that.

The magistrate asked him what business he followed
to bring up his son to such a profession—if he might call
it so• _ _

The father replied that he was a betting and bookmaker's
clerk, and be bad no means of placing his son out to a
trade. He had seen better days himself.
The magistrate observed that this case came clearly under
the provisions of the new act of parliament , and to put •
stop to such disgraceful proceedings in the streets ho

of 5/. or one mouth's imprisonment.

THE COST OP MUTTON TO THE BUTCHER.
-
The following letter, dealing practically and in
minute detail with the important question at what price
mutton may now be sold by butchers at a profit, appears
in the Kenii.sli Observer : ' About two months ago I sent
some sheep to Ashford market ; the lot wee made up of
barrens and our usual annual draught of breeding ewes,
commonly called ' turn marks' They were in good order
for the butcher, and as my breed is of the small Romney
Marsh they weighed about nine stones, although the wethers,
if kept for four years, as I kill them formyself, will weigh 17i
stones. For similar di:aughts sold yearly etAshford market my
salesman has realised in 1864, 51e. ; in 1865, 555. ; in 1866,
635. ; in 1867, 31s. offered. My wethers in 1864 and ltrillei
realised on the same market 51s. and IL;e. Two months
ago I offered the above sheep for 38e. We were bid 345.
only. They were driven home. My shepherd immediately
began to feed them with crushed beans, oiloake, and bran
and oats. On Tuesday last, October 29, they were again
driven to the same market with an improved value of at
least G.. a head. The salesman was offered 31a. only. Of
course they were again driven home. The prices of mutton
here is 80. and beef 10d. untrimmed. I accordingly re-
solved to kill the sheep myself and supply my own people
on the farm. I beg to hand you the result :

Hidden, Kent, Nov. G."
On Saturday last most of the butchers of Bridport
found it requisite to reduce the price of beef and mutton
from Bd. and Pd. to sd. and 7d. for the primest joints ;
inferior leas. The leading gentry in the town and neigh-
bourhood have taken the matter up, and if the tradesmen
follow suit the working classes will be much greatergainen
than by destroying corn, flour, or damaging bakers' or
butchers' premises. These will also do well to be wise in
time, and not to be too extortionate.—Sher6orne Journal.
Our butchers at Worcester have really lowered their
prices. On Saturday last there was quite • show of
placards announcing that " good wetber" mutton was to
be sold at rid. or 6jd. per lb., and some even as low as 5d.;
another bill announced that at " this shop 16 ors. were
given to the lb. ;" while at what is known as the cheap
butcher's there was a bill bearing the following :—" I am
determined to keep the price of meat down ;" while at all
places there was abundant proof that more reasonable
prices were being charged. At night the scene became
more lively ; several of the proprietors of stalls began to
dispute as to who should sell the lowest, and we arc told
that some good joints were bought for 4d. per lb. One
noticeable fact is that equally good joints with such as
three weeks ago were being charged 93d. and 10d. per lb.
can now be had at 7d., while the price in the wholesale
market is not lower.—Worcestershire Chronicle.

SANDHURST ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE.—DIS-
GRACEFUL CONIEWCT or THE CADETS. —The cadets of the
Royal Military 'College at Sandhurst have recently com-
mitted a series of outrages upon property and in-
dividuals which have occasioned much alarm in the
village of Yorktown, close to the college precincts.
These outrages, with but little intermission, ex-
tended over a whole week. Order, indeed, is now restored,
hut no guarantee exists that any day the locality may not
be the scene of more widespread mischief and more general
destruction. An investigation his since been held, in
consequence of which four or five youni, gentlemen have
been summarily dismissed and sent to thetrhomes, and most
probably severe examples will be made of others of the
delinquents. The inhabitants of Yorktown, so far as their
fears will permit them to sVeak out, ascribe the proceedings
to she imperfect state of discipline which is maintained. It
is averred that the cadets have easy access to spirituous
liquors in the college, and come into the village ripe for
any kind of mischief. Of their after-dark proceedings
much could be said, but it is expected that the revelations
would not be greatly in favour of discipline or good
mannera

CHICHESTER CATHEDRAL—This morning Chi-
chester Cathedral, which has been magnificently restored
externally, will be reopened with an elaborate ceremony,
in the presence of a large number of distinguished persona.
THE MISSING FENIANS.—The government have
received information from a reliable source that " Colonel"
Kelly is in Belgium. An officer from Scotland-yard has
been sent to inquire into the truth of it. Of course Kelly's
person is sacred there ; but the authorities are anxious to
have the information confirmed by one, who, if Kelly is
there, will most probably not only recognise him, but
find the means of having an interview with him.
There is no doubt that Head Centre Stephens is in Paris,
and in anything but a flourishing audition. The officer
from Scotland-yard, who holds the warrant for his ap-
prehension, during • three weeks' stay at the Exhibition, fp,.
quently met Stephen, at • table d'hote, and conversed with
him, each mon knowing to whom he was talking. Stephetui al-
luded toa statement which had gone the round of the English
papers, which set forth that be had " feathered his nest"
out of the Fenian funds with which he had been entrusted.
" Wrong entirely," Stephens said, " I hav'n't a cent—am
indebted to a friend for what I shall pay for this meal,
who has alao advanced me as much cash as will pay for
advertising for employment as a teacher of English.' The
officer took the trouble to inquire into the truth of what
Stephens told bin,, and iu doing so discovered that he had
been turned out of two lodgings for want of money to pa,
his way.—Maiteheater Grardinn.
THE CONDEMNED FENIANC AT MANCHESTER.—
It is proposed to hold • monster meeting on Olerkenwell-
green on Sunday morning next, to adopt • memorial to be
presented to the Home Secretary, praying for a commuta-
tion of the sentence of death pima upon the prisoners at
Manchester during the special commission.
THE Taros's blivraxn.—Awkwartl blunders re-
sult sometimes from the laudable attempt of the master of
the house to talk all things to all men. An Oxford tutor,
• very sensible man, once invited • party of undergra-
duates—good fellows enough, but not the reading set in
the college. With a praiseworthy desire to mit his talk
to his guests, he took up the papers of the day, and looked
at the names and positions of the favourites for the Derby,
to be run next day. Among them was one rejoicing in the
name of " Ugly Buck "—why so called is best known to his
breeder and owner. The tutor had itist been reading Hans
Anderson's charming fable of the Ugly Duck, which was
mall more in the line of his own taste than race horses.
To break a pause rather longer than usual, be turned to •
" horsy"-looking youngster who sat next him, and bringing
to bear, as he thought, his innocent "cram" of the morning,
asked him, in the off-hand tone of one to whom such specu-
lations were familiar, what be thought of the chances of
Ugly Duck for the Derby. The boys had too much respect
for him to laugh—much ; but he felt ever afterwards that
it had been safer him to have started the most abstract
literati discussion, or even confined himself to the familiar
Erof plucks and fames, at all risks of his talk
g oaddered " shoppy."—Blasi Maga:ine for
November.

MONEY MARKET.-(THD3 DAY.)

On WOLool.

Notwithstanding the absence of unfavourable
political news from abroad, the diminished
demand for gold for exportation, and the flat-
ness of the corn market, the public still show
an indisposition to make purchases in the
Stock Exchange, and, with a continuance
of speculative sales for a fall, the tone of most
of the markets is flat. Consols have declined
1-1 G to per cent. Some of the British railway
securities have receded, the most important decline
being in Caledonian. [Banking and financial shares
are offered, but foreign bonds are, higher in a few
cases. The amount of general business is limited,
attention being chiefly directed to the completion
of the fortnightly settlement.
The discount market remains quiet, with a mo-
derate amount of business. There is no disposition,
however, to take even the best three months' paper
below 15 percent.

Conzoi; are quoted 3.0 to 1, with div., for money
and 93}, ex div., for the account (Decem-
ber 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New
Three per Cents. are at 93 to 931.
In the railway market to-day the principal
change is a fall of 1 per cent. in Caledonian stock.
London and North Western and Lancashire and
Yorkshire are 1 lower, but Metropolitan has
improved 1. Annexed are the quotations :
Metropolitan, 1201 to 121 ; Great Western, 451
to 46 ; London and North Western, 1131 to 1;
Midland, 1161 to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
1211 to 122 ; Caledonian, 80 to ; South Eastern,
66 to 1 ; Great Eastern, 301 to 1 ; Great North-
ern, 108 to 109 ; ditto A, 1114 to 3 ; London,
Chatham, and Dover, 171 to / ; North British,
321 to 331 ; and Brighton, 521 to 1.
The Indian Five per Cent. stock is in request
and firm, at 115 to 4.

Greek and Spanish Passive bonds, and the Com-
mittee's Certificates are inquired for, and have ad-
vanced ato per cent. Other foreign securities
also meet with inquiry. Turkish Bonds of 1862
are quoted 611 to 621 ; ditto of 1865,
32 to I ; Greek, 11} to ; Spanish
Passive, 26it to 2 ; ditto Certificates, 1711 to I ;
Italian of 1861, 451. to ; Egyptian, 1864, 85 to
87 ; and Mexican. 14/ to 15i.

The scrip of the Honduras Loan is steady, at
3 to 31 prem.
United States 5-20 Bonds are per cent. lower,
at 70& to 1, but Illinois Central Railway shares
have improved viz., to 84 to Erie are steady,
at 47 to
_ _

Atlantic Cable shares are firm, at the rise of
yesterday. Anglo-American, 18} to if, and Atlantic
Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference, 3i to i.
Bank shares exhibit a drooping tendency, but
the variation in prices at present is not important.
Imperial Ottoman are at 11 to oi dis. ; Alliance,
11} to 1011 die. ; London and County, 49 to 51 ;
and Union of London, 35 to 36.

national Financial are quoted 2} to 21 die. ; Lon
don, 24} to 23} dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dia. ;
and Credit Fonder, 6i to 6} dia.

The stock markets are generally rather better.
Consols are at 94/, with div., for money, and 931
to f, ex div., for the account, being fractionally
better than at 1 o'clock.

About 35,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from
the Bank for exportation.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68.20 for the account, showing no change
of importance.

The arrangements for the settlement show that
there is still little demand on the part of the public
for the ordinary stocks of railways, and that in-
vestors will only buy preference securities of the
beat class. The result is that the prices of the
ordinary or non-guaranteed stocks are driven
about from day to day solely by the action of
speculators.

At an adjourned meeting yesterday of the holders
of the bonds and coupons of the Greek Loam of
1824 and 1825, the following resolution was adopted :
That the proposition contained in the agreement laid
before this meeting be accepted, provided that special
securities be assigned for the payment of the interest and
sinking fund on the million 5 per cent. stook to be
created ; and, further, that the said sinking fund be aug-
mented at the expiration of five years to the amount of
20,0001. per annum.
An extraordinary meeting of the Trust and Loan
Company of Upper Canada will be held on the 29th
inst., when a dividend will be declared.
The European Assurance Society has discon-
tinued fire insurances, and restricted its business
to life, guarantee, and annuities. Mr. J. Hamer
Owens, late manager of the tire department, has
been appointed London manager of the Etna, to
which office the tire business of the European has
been transferred. _ _ .

The subjoined report on the market for Ameri-
can securities is from Messrs. Satterthwaite
and Co. :

-- •
The suspension of telegraphic communication with New
York for two or three days during the past week some-
what interrupted the naval course of business in American
securities on the London market. For Government Bon Is
we have to record no change in prices from this day week,
as purchases on lower quotatlous of gold have been well
supplied by bonds on hand. Illinois Central Shares have
been in good demand, and close 83i to 84, an advance of
nearly 2 per oent. The preeent " settlement" has developed
a " bear" account in Enes, and as much as 1 dol. per share
is offered for the loan of them till the next account, they
close 47 to 4. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures and
Consolidated Bonds are both lower, while the First Mort-
gage Bonds of the Ohio section are in increased demand.
A telegram from Hong Kong, dated the 21st
October, states as follows :—" Cotton goods ad-
vancing ; stocks light ; silk lower-20 taels is
