TEE DERBY AND ST. LEGER TURF SCANDAL.

Another contribution to the history of the scan-
dal which arose out of the " scratching " of The Earl for
the Derby and St. Leger appears in the Times this morn-
ing, in the form of additional correspondence between Mr.
Padwick and Admiral Roos in reference to the part
played by the former in the matter; but nothing
appears therein which tends to elucidate this
wonderful mystery. It seems that Mr. Padwick
was dissatialled with the decision of the Jockey
Club not to prosecute the investigation which he proposed,
on the ground that, as no charge had been made before
them affecting his character, they declined to accept the
responsibility of accusers. He, therefore, wrote to Admiral
Mous on the 28th ult., asking that gentleman to reduce to
some distinct form the imputations cast upon him in a
previous letter, in order that he might deal with them in
such a manner as to induce the admiral to "ac-
knowledge the injustice of those imputations and
withdraw the charges " he had preferred. Admiral
Rous replied that he should be happy to comply with the
request if Mr. Padwick would explain why The Earl (by
his orders to Messrs. Weatherby) ran at Newmarket in
his name and colours iu the Biennial, and received forfeit
in the match as "Mr. Padwick's The Earl against See
:aw." •• If," asks the Admiral, '•you had no interest in
the horse, which you stated to me in your June letter,
why were an the winnings, including the three Ascot
sweeretakes, paid to your account ? " and, to give a little
more piquancy to this retort, he expresses a hope
that Mr. Padwick may be able to exculpate himself and
prove that he and Lord Hastings have been the victims of
of a con: piracy. Mr. Padwick's answer throws a little
ligl.t on the subject so far as his connexion with the
Marquis of Hastings is concerned, but it does not go to the
root of the matter and explain why, after all, the name
of The Earl was withdrawn. He says that—

Ire virms to The Earl runuingat Newmarket intheCraven
meeting, the solicitor to the Marquis of Hastings applied to
me fur a lean of a large amount to meet some claims re:mir-
ing prompt attention. and in making the advance I re-
ceived, with other securities, a bill of sale which included
The Earl and other racehorses of the mirquis. That bill of
sale was duly registered. The marquis had various creditors
pressing him, and an execution about to issue, in which case
the sheriff would have seized the racehorses, and removed
and sold them, unless protected by myself. I was advised
that The Earl, at the time you refer to, had better run in
my colours, but neither his winnings on that occasion or
any subo,cinent were ever carried to my private account
by Messrs. Weatherby, but placed by them to a 'overate
account. and every shilling appropriated by the Messrs.
Weatherby to the payment of the forfeits and engage-
ments of the horses sold to various persons by Lord
Hastings under Lord Exeter's conditions. Even the win-
nings of the animals I purchased at his public sale (ma-
third of which the marquis became entitled to) were paid
over by Messrs. Weatherby to the private account of- the
marquiz, and I have further contributed the sum of
out of my own pocket up to this moment, to
enuble Lim to keep faith with the public.

With a view to corroborate this statement Mr. Padwiek
enclosed two letters from Messrs. Weatherby on the
jed. Admiral Roue's reply was laconic enough :
Newmarket, Oct. 1.
S IE, -I return Mr, Weatherby's letters.
I am. sir, your obedient servant,
To Hy. Padwick, Esq. IL J. ROTS.

Alter the lapse of fifteen days from the receipt of this
note Mr. Padwick wrote again, demanding a "full retrac-
tation," and imputing the absence of it to a want of moral
courage on the admiral's part to admit • wrong or
remedy. as far as he could, " a most unwarrantable and
wilful injustice." Even this imputation, however,
do, a not appear to have disconcerted Admiral
Rous in the least, for he calmly replies rest,
baring regard to the whole circumstances of the case, be
does not feel justifies(' in haying more at present than that,
for the rake of everybody, it is essential that the facts
ehr•uld be thoroughly sifted by the examination of all
parties before the tribunal before which Mr. Padwick had
himself advised Mr. Day to appeal. And so the matter
reets for the present.

1.yt.0 l!erthen, vicar of Romney, on the Itith and 29th of

number of articies of no great value were stolen, and the
latter was cLitCy remarkable for the attendant cireum-
slum ce. It appeared that a number of robs cries of au
almost unaccuiditahle iutture have quite recently been
iv.tiated at Itonisey, and the prisoner Guy be-
tan.° uneasy ut the steps taken by the pollee to obtain

rina:ol in carrying them off, but that he and the other pri-

dcreitions it seemed that they determined on Michael-
mas-eve to enjoy a " spree." Aecortlingly they met at the
outskirts of the town and proceeded to the poultry-yani of
the vicarage. Here they secured a couple of ducks, killed
them, and then weld to a building called Sawleman's

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY Ul►
CANADA.—(TIiId DAY.Ii

The ortlintF half-yeast general meeting of
iliet.areheldE t 00111 Pas'held at theta;
Ter inns His Ail day, bras pretty rhs
stimded. Sir E. Vt wrxix, occupied the chair.
The (.11AIIIMAX said be approached them under dilfieult
ciroumstances, because he had for some time bed the
subject of mean and libellous attacks. But there wni
tii.th in the old adage " Lies will not lust for ever." Me
was there to give a run statement of the affairs of the
company and he could speak plainly, homes° the term of
his office was expiring and he had always said that
he never intended to servo them beyond the end of
the term, because he had neither the health nor
the vigour to occupy longer the position they had
placed him in. Their pm-pecta were improving and
there was not only a probability but • certainty that they
should resume paying interact on the first preference
dividend. at the close of the current half-year. Canadian
railway property was in an unratishictort condition
because thi redWlys were made before their time, and
Moondly because the coat of construction much exceeded
the eatimahn. In the half-year there was an in-
crease in the gross receipts of 37,6761. and • de-
crease in the ordinary working ex of 3,2151.
fir. Watkin then went on at groatie to review the
history and position of the undertaking. When the pre-
sent management undertook it, the line was not paying
working expenses. It had since yielded a profit of
1,800,0001. He then criticised the attacks made upon
him by Mr. Creche and Mr. Ritter, and was speaking
upon this subject when our report left.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

'.L sines in :dui Iftlek Exchange to-day is not
very active, bni tli time of tho markets generally
is hotter. The firmness of the Paris bourse sad
the halm of gold to the Bank of Englmad peter-
day, have tended to induce purchases. The trans-
actions for a rise would probably be more numer-
ous, but for a rumour that the Bank return, to
be issued this evening, wM show some unfavour-
able changes. The improvement in Consols does
not exceed 1-10 per cent., but the Three per
Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are I
higher. The changes in railway and foreign
stocks are nearly all in an upward direction.
United State, 6-20 bolsi, exhibit an advance.
Miscellaneous shares are offered.

The demand for money is moderate, and the
supply large. The rate for the best bills is still
1; to 11 per cent. Short advances, on English
government securities, are obtainable in the Stock
Exchange at 1 per cent.
Consols are at 941 for money and the ac-
count (November 6) ; and the Three per Cents.

several instances. Turkish of 18.58 and 1802 have
advanced 1 per cent. ; Brazilian of 1803, Peruvian
of 1865, and the Orel Vitebsk Railway Loan, ;

A company is about to be formed to acquire
the patent rights in the United Kingdom,
and to &A-clop the patent process of Mr.
John Heaton, for the conversion of pig iron into
high-class wrought iron and steel, and more
especially of such inferior brands of pig iron as
have not hitherto been applicable for such pur-
poses. Both as regards that essential point,
economy of production, and the utilization
of inferior pig iron, this patent Rrocess
is declared by high practical and scientific
authorities to be of such value as to bid fair
to revolutionise one of the greatest manufac-
tures in the kingdom. It is stated—and ample
testimony is adduced in corroboration of the
assertion—that, owing to the exceedingly low
cost and the insignificant outlay of capital by
which steel can be produced by this process, the
company will be enabled, while realising a very
large profit, to undersell considerably the iron of
any other iromuuster. The patentee is the
managing director of the Langley Mill Com-
pany's works, near Nottingham, where the
proms has been for some months in operation,
and this establishment it is proposed to develop
by means of fresh capital, tho purchase money of
the works, freehold lands, fie., being 31,375/.—the
price at which they were valued in July last by
Messrs. Pringle, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, at the
ivatanc• of the owners of tho patents. As to the
value of the invention, quite a voluminous and
satisfactory array of evidonoo is afforded, especially

in some reports from Mr. Robert Mallet,
F.R.S., while the tests of the tensile
strength of the products have been applied by Mr.
David Rirkaldy, at his testing works in Bluth-
wark, and the analytical results are vouched. for
by Professor Miller, F.R.8., of King's College,
assayer to the Mint. Offices have been taken in
connection with the matter at No. 20, Great
George-street, Westminster, where there will
doubtless be a large number of inquiries, on ac-
count of the great importance of the invention in
connection with railway construction and mainte-
nance, and a thousand other purposes.
A meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered
Bank of India, Australia, and China was held
yesterday, when a dividend was declared at the
rate of 0 per cent. per annum for the past sin
months.

It is announced that the amount of the first
coupon for the year 1868 on the shares of the
South-Austrian, Lombardo-Venetisa, and Central
Italian Railway Company has been fixed at 20fr.,
payable on the 2nd November.
Creditors of the Turbo Quarries Slate and Slab
Company (Limited) are required to send the par-
ticulars of their claims to Messrs. James Solomon
and Lewis H. Evans, the liquidators, by the 17th
November.

Messrs. Rltaphael and Sons have given notios
that the bonds of the Swedish Government Loan
of 1868 are now ready for delivery, in exchange
for the full-paid scrip.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have announced
the dividends due the lst November on the Russian
Four perCemt. Loan of 1867 ; also on Quebec City
Sterling Six per Cent. Bonds, and Massachusetts
State Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds.
At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs.
Salavy and Co., silk merchants, of London and
Marseilles, who recently filed, the liabilities were
stated by Messrs. Lovering and Minton, the so-
countants, at 108,5a1., and the assets at 88,503/.,
showing a deficiency of 40,0:41. Three of the
principal creditors were appointed to investigate
the estate, and report to a future meeting.
