MANCHE STER—TuuRsDA.Y.

At our market this morning the demand for wheat was
still limited. English held for the prices of this day se'n-
night, and the lower qualities of American for an advance
of 2d per cental. Flour again very inactive, and the value
nominal. New oats receded id to 2d per 451 b, and new
oatmeal sold at a decline of is per load, but there was no
disposition on the part of buyers to do business. Indian
corn and beans held steadily.

SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, PIALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

SPAI N.

A Madrid letter has the t allowing :—The Budget
of the army and navy preset is this year an increase
of 80,000,000 reals (20,000,,000fr.) This is the cost
of the expedition to Santo Domingo. The western
part of that island, as may be remembered, annexed
itself a few months ago to the Spanish Crown.
From a contradiction only to be explained by the
fickle nature of men, Ulf) inhabitants of Santo
Domingo appear now to revolt against Spain
with an energy equal to the eagerness which they
formerly manifested in re-establishing her rule.
To bring them back to their primitive enthusiasm,
it is evident that the outlay of a very considerable
number of reals will be necessary.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

To-night's market was scantily supplied with English
wheat, but the quality of the produce was fine. Owing to
a somewhat extensive amount of foreign wheat and flour,
the trade both for red and white qualities ruled inactive, at
Monday's quatations.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stand was
large. Millers operated to a very moderate extent in all
descriptions, yet no quotable change took place in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
The supply of barley was moderate, and tho demand ruled
inactive, on former terms. _

The malt trade was in a sluggish state at drooping prices.
The market was fairly supplied.
There was a full average supply of oats on offer. Good
and fine corn was tolerably firm in value, but out-of-condi-
tion parcels changed hands at low prices.
Beans and peas were dull at Monlay's fall in the
currency. .

The supply of barrel flour was larger, and infetior quali-
ties were very difficult of sale. Town sand country descrip.
tions moved off slowly on former terms.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE RESULT OF READING THE ADVENTURES OF
CRIMINALS.—Henry John Wright, a respectable looking
lad, in the employ of Mr. Haywood, jeweller, of Regent-
street, charged with robbing his employer, was brought
before Mr. Knox for final examination.

The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Hayward, and
was entrusted with rings and other articles of the value of
about £2O to deliver at different placas, but instead of doing
this he absconded with the property.
Mr. Rayner, of Thames-street, Windsor, pawnbroker,
produced two rings, one of which the prisoner had pledged
and the other sold at his shop.

Mr. Harrison, of Aldersgate-street, pawnbroker, gave up
a pair of earrings pledged by the prisoner.
The prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Cole
of the C division, who found in the prisoner's possession
several numbers' of the following books :—" Blueskin,"
" Black Bess, or the knight of the Road," "Colonel Jack
or the Life of an Highwayman," "Black Wolf, or the Buy
B ighwayman."

Mr. Hayward asked that he prisoner might be dealt
summarily with.

Mr. Knox said it was a robbery at a jeweller's, and he
could not do so. Committed for trial.

ROBBERY AND REMORSE.—George Hall, a young man,
formerly in the employ of Mr. Arthur Crocker, licensed
victualler, of 31, New Compton-street, was charged with
stealing £lO, belonging to his employer.
From the evidence of Mr. Crocker it appeared that on the
26th September he entrusted the prisoner, who was then in
his employ, with £lO in gold to get changed for silver.
The prisoner absconded with the money, and he (Crocker)
saw no more of him till yesterday evening, when he was in
custody.

John Cornell, 109 C, deposed that about six o'clock yes-
terday evening the prisoner came to the station and asked
him if they had received any information of £lO having
been stolen by a potman in New Compton•atreet. He asked
the prisoner why he wanted to know, and showed him in
to the inspector ; and on the inspector asking the prisoner
why he wanted to know, he said, " I am the man."

Mr. Knox asked the constable whether anything was
know of the prisoner?

Cornell said he believed he had been convicted,
Mr. Knox, the prisoner having no questions to ask, com-
mitted him for trial.

AN ARTFUL DODGE.

By this time they had reached the railway station, and
Denzil Raikes at once procured his ticket for his j ,urney,
and all three walked on to the platform to await the arrival
of the train that was to convey them.
"You haven't got your ticket yet, have you ?" said
Denzil Raikes tr) Mr. Sparke.
"Oh yes, I have. All right I" resp3nded Mr. Sparke.
" By-the-bye," he continued, " will you let me look at
yours ?''

" Certainly I" said Denzil Raikes, producing the bit of
pasteboard retened to,

Mr, Sparke took it, looked at it, and taking a pencil from
his pocket made a note of its number. He then tore off a
corner—just a small corner—of the ticket, and handed it
back to Denzil Raikes.

NEWMARKET.

--.-
Newmarket for centuries has been the centre of the
racing world, and has hitherto been a. guide-star to all other
places in the country where race-meetings have been esta-
blished.

Newmarket has a prestige which can never be destroyed
while a love of the sport is inherent in the English heart.
It is the spot where, par excellence, the great magnates or
the turf frequently, and almost exclusively, assemble to en
joy and practise the sport of which Newmarket is the
centre. The power of their position i 3 there felt more
potently tar than at any other meeting, no wetter what its
locality may be. At race meetings generally, there is a
levelling of ali ranks ; at Ne v, market, on the contrary, there
is the elevation of one. Indeed, we might almost say that
there is but one rank there, and that the highest.
A goodly street is the main street of Newmarket.
Broad and ample, it has an imposing appearance, and can-
not but strike the stranger. But how quiet it is I No-
thing in the place appears to move. Is it inhabited by a
people permanently located here ? Standing in the centre
of the town, one might almost doubt the existence of resi-
dent Newmarketonians. To be sure there are houses ou
each side to make up the noble street, but they must have
been built to make up a show of a town. There are shops,
too; they have a ghostly appearance; they never could
have b3en meant fur customers.
The uninitiated into those more than Eleusinian
Mysteries may feel some interest in this

PEEP AT TATTERSALLS%
We wonder what people in the country imagine Tatter-
sall's to be? What do the great bulk of the people of this
metropolis imagine Tattersrll's to be? Surely it must, in
their minds, be associated with the mysterious--a place re-
specting which it is difficult for them to picture anything
like the reality to themselves. Perhaps they seldom trou'ule
themselves to accomplish that mental operation; but still
sometimes the wonder must flash across their minds
what Tattersall's—the material Tattersall's—" the Corner"
—the great betting centre of the world—what the place
really is. The great majority of those who study Tattersall's
perhaps seldom think of the place as a stem ; thay merely
look at the transactions, glance at the odds, pare them
with their t oath and care -little about the temple whence

Official :advices received here from Japan state

According to the same advises the Tycoon dis-

Much was expected from the effects of the chas

PROSPECTUS.

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arrane en,ents of the increasing commercial interests of
Great Britain and its dependencies.
In founding this unde,taking the Directors have secured
the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
Firm in London, with whom arr ngements have been made
for the transf. r of its lucrative bus nese to this corporation,
and two of whose partners join the lli,ection. It will thus
b a manifest that the Dis 'ount Corporation starts with a
large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience
of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public.
The materi,,l basis of the Corporation will be a large sub-
scribed Capital, judicially distributed.
The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial
banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and
contlnentil trades of the country', and the greatly extending
commercial transactions with India and the Cc lonies, le:.d to
the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required
An establishment, which from its ample means will be able
to supply such requirements, will no dont t be favourably re-
ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus
funds.

The known profitable operations of the old private D's-
count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as-
surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed,
will prove a complete success.
The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotio,-money will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the pr&iminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Dir. ctors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and solicitcrs ; but no application
"will be considered unless a deposit of XI per share on the
number of shares applied for has been paid.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE RESULT OF READING THE ADVENTURES OF
CRIMINALS.—Henry John Wright, a respectable looking
lad, in the employ of Mr. Haywood, jeweller, of Regent-
street, charged with robbing his employer, was brought
before Mr. Knox for final examination.

The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Hayward, and
was entrusted with rings and other articles of the value of
about £2O to deliver at different places, but instead of doing
this he absconded with the property. _ _

Mr. Rayner, of Thames:street, Windsor, pawnbroker,
produced two rings, one of which the prisoner had pledged
and the other sold at his shop. _ _

Mr. Harrison, of Aldersgate-street, pawnbroker, gave up
a pair of earrings pledged by the prisoner.
The prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Cole
of the C division, who found in the prisoner's possession
several numbers of the following books :—" Blueskin,"
" Black Bess, or the knight of the Road," "Colonel Jack
or the Life of an Highwayman," "Black Wolf, or the Buy
H ighwayman."
Mr. Hayward asked that he prisoner might be dealt
summarily with.

Mr. Knox said it was a robbery at a jeweller's, and he
could not do so. Committed for trial.

ROBBERY AND REMORSE.—George Hall, a young man,
formerly in the employ of Mr. Arthur Crocker, licensed
victualler, of 31, New Compton-street, was charged with
stealing £lO, belonging to his employer.
From the evidence of Mr. Crocker it appeared that on the
26th September he entrusted the prisoner, who was then in
his employ, with £lO in gold to get changed for silver.
The prisoner absconded with the money, and he (Crocker)
saw no more of him till yesterday evening, when he was in
custody.

John Cornell, 109 C, deposed that about six o'clock yes-
terday evening the prisoner came to the station and asked
him if they had received any information of £lO having
been stolen by a potman in New Compton-street. He asked
the prisoner why he wanted to know, and showed him in
to the inspector; and on the inspector asking the prisoner
why he wanted to know, he said, " I am the man."

Mr. Knox asked the constable whether anything was
know of the prisoner?
Cornell said he believed he had been cohvicted,
Mr. Knox, the prisoner having no questions to ask, com-
mitted him for trial.

MANCHESTER-THURSDAY.

At our market this morning the demand for wheat was
still limited. English held for the prices of this day se'n-

disposition on the part of buyers to do business. Indian
corn and beans held steadily.

very full prices, but inferior parcels are a slow sale, on
former terms. For yearling, old, and foreign hops the in-
quiry to much restricted. The imports of the latter from
the Continent and Am.rica are considerable.

Renan's " Life of Jesus Christ?'

Renan's "Life of Jesus Christ" (says the Roman
correspondent of the Morning Post), although not
allowed. to circulate openly in Rome, has neverthe-
less found its way into the Eternal City, and has
attracted the attention of the ecclesiastical authori-
ties, who are anxious to prevent the heretical
effects it might produce by a more extended circula-
tion. The Sacred Congregation of the Index has
condemned and prohibited the work, but the decrees
of the Index have now judicial effect in so compa-
ratively small a portion of the Italian peninsula, that
it is only by spontaneous obedience that Italians
living out of the pale of the Pontifical dominions can
show their adherence to the will of the Holy Inqui-
sition. Such an adherence has just been exhibited
by some of the inhabitants of Bologna, who have
forwarded an address on the subject to the Pope,
accompanied by a pecuniary offering amounting to
the price of 100 copies of Ronan's books. The
address commences as follows :
" Most Blessed Father !—An impious voice was recently
raised on the banks of the Seine, blaspheming Rim who,
son of the Eternal Father, put on our flesh to redeem the
world, and daring to deny, in the face of all Europe, as-
tounded at such impudence, the divinity of our Saviour
Jesus Christ. Men, whom we know not whether to call
impious or wretched, have repeated this sacrilegious cry
with the sweet sound of that tongue with which Dante
sung the triple kingdom of the God-man, and Torquato
'Doom narrated the victories of the Crusaders, who liberated
at the price of their blood those holy places which were the
theatre and witnesses of those prodigies wrought by the Son
of God."

It, is expected that similar demonstrations will
be made by other cities, as has been the case with
'he clergy and other ecclesiastical adherents
throughout Italy, in protesting against Father Pas-
saglia's doctrine.
