MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was very quiet, and in some instances prices de-
clined to the extent of ls. per quarter. Barley and oats
moved off slowly, nevertheless the quotations were toler-
ably firm. Beans and peas changed hands at extreme rates.
Tho flour trade was quiet at full prices.
Advices from America report increased, but far from ex-
tensive, shipments of flour to this country. The exports
of wheat, however, had continued trifling. On the conti-
nent the corn trade generally is rather quiet.
Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of English
wheat were decidedly on the increase from Essex and
Kent, but the condition of the produce was very middling.
The trade for all qualities was in a most inactive state.
The few dry samples moved off at about in some instances
the prices of Monday last. In damp samples sales pro-
gressed very slowly, and the quotations were is to 2s per
quarter lower than on this day so'nnight.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
For all descriptions the trade was dull, and a decline of is
per quarter took place in prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat were very dull on easier terms.
Spring corn afloat was very firm.
There was a fair supply of barley on offer. Good and
fine malting qualities were firm in price, but inferior barley
met a slow sale at barely late rates.
The malt trade was quiet, and the quotations were some-
what easier.

Oats were a good supply. On the whole, the trade was
steady at last Monday's currency.
Beans were in very moderate supply, and the trade was
steady at late prices.
Peas fully support late rates. The market was scantily
supplied.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted on
former terms.

but the demand for nearly all other seeds was inactive.
Cakes were in steady request, at enhanced quotations.

More Gold !

(From the New Fork Tribune)

The fact that gold was discovered some months
since, in that portion of Minnesota which adjoins the head
of Lake Superior, is sufficiently known. We now learn
that still larger and more promising discoveries have very
recently been made near "Lake Vermillion, considerably
further north.

The gold is not found in its native state, as in California,
but in iron and copper pyrites, as in Idaho.

It is in bright sparkling quartz veins from three inches
to ten feet in width, and extends for miles ; the amount,
in fact, being almost unlimited.
Surface quartz from these veins has been assayed at the
mint in Philadelphia, and by Professor Kent of New York,
and pronounced in both instances to average over $3O of
gold to the ton.
If these veins increase in richness as they descend—as
is almost invariably the case in Idaho and California—it is
reasonable to suppose that they will soon yield a profit of
$5O or $6O to the ton.
The yield of the quartz rock on the Pacific coast varies
from $1 to $3OO per ton, but the best paying mines aver-
age less than $25 per ton.
The lands in the vicinity of the mines are unsurveyed,
and can for the present only be secured by scrip; which
has had the effect of raising Chippewa from 85 cents to $4,
and Sioux from $2 50c. to $l2 per acre.

A frightful attack of neuralgia in the face and
mouth cured by a few doses of MORISON'S PILLS, the vege-
table universal medicine of the British College of Health,
Euston-road, London, after other means had tailed. Sold
by the hygeian agents and all medicine venders.

HORRIBLE MUTILATION.—KING'S LYNN, Satur-
day.—A most horrible accident occurred last even-
ing on the Lynn and Wisbech branch of the Great Eastern
railway, at a place called Wiggenhall St. Mary Magdalen,
about eight miles from this place, on the banks of the
Ouse. The 730 train at Lynch for Wisbech had left Mag-
dalen station but a short time when the driver of the
engine felt it go over something. The night being dark,
he had seen no obstruction on the line, but being alarmed
at what he had felt, he shut off steam, and, applytng the
break, brought the train to a standstill. On proceed-
ing back to the place where he felt the engine pass over
something, he saw a number of human remains fright-
fully mangled, and found they were the bodies of two per-
pons, one of whom was cut all to pieces, a leg lying here,
an arm there, and the head and the heart elsewhere ; and the
other severely mangled, but not killed. Assistance being
obtained, it was fouud that the men belonged to the village,
the one so frightfully and fatally mangled being a married
man, named Gunton, the father cf a family of 10 children.
The other is an elderly man. It is said the latter was very
intoxicated, and the former was acting the charitable part
of taking the old man home. It is supposed that deceased
either did not hear the train which came behind him or else
was engaged in the laudable, but, as it turned out, fatally
unfortunate endeavour to get his companion away from the
line, when they both fell; deceased being foremost was cut
all to pieces, and death must have been instantaneous. The
old man, though dreadfully injured, is still alive, and hopes
are entertained of his ultimate recovery. No blame what-
ever is attached to the railway company's servants who had
charge of the train.
Captain Wilson and the party of explorers have
left England for Palestine. Capt. Wilson is to land at
Beyrout, and to go by way of Damascus, Banias, Kedes, to
Tell Hum, on the Lake of Galilee. Thence he will pro-
ceed, by way of Cana, to Beisan, and by Zerin to Nabalus
and Sebastiyeh. He will then visit Seilum, the ancient
tombs at Tibuch, Beitin, and Jerusalem. At each of the
above spots he will make such explorations as he may find
feasible and desirable.

A GRACEFUL AND BENEFCENTACT.—Mrs. Arnott,
widow of the well-known Dr. Arnott, author of "Physic,"
has signified her intention of endowing two scholarships
for the study of natural philcsophy—the one at the Queen's
College, Harley-street, the other at the Ladies' College,
Bedford-square, to be called the Arnott scholarships, in
memory of her late husbani—Builder. •

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
de Montpensier, family, and suite, arrived at Ply-
mouth per South Devon Railway, on Friday, from Exeter,
where they had remained on Thursday night. On Satur-
day they embarked in the Spanish steam-frigate Gorgon:),
Captain Escalero, to proceed early on Sunday morning
for Ferrol, but were delayed to later in the day, through
the half-gale, with thick weather, that had set in.
MORE SHIPPING DIRSTERS AND Loss OF LIFE.
—The late gales in the Atlantic have been most destruc-
tive to shipping. Advices received in Liverpool from New
York to November 4th announced the following disaster :
—The ship Polar Star, Captain West, has arrived, after
a passage of 50 days from Liverpool. She experienced
very severe westerly gales, which split all her sails,
damaged the standing rigging very much, and carried away
her boats, &c. The ship Atmosphere, also from Liverpool,
had arrived. On the 13th October, Captain Eves reports
the prevalence of a fearful gale from the W.N.W., which
sprung the mainmast. On the 17th, in lat. 42.15, lon.
54.12, carried away crossjackyard. The Atmosphere had
a continuation of heavy gales from, the W.N.W. to W.S.W.
since October 6. The ship M.Nottebohn, Captain Lamb,
from the Mersey, had also arrived at New York, reports
on Oct. 16, in lat. 40.05, lon. 57.35, a seaman named T.
M'Glode, of Liverpool, fell fnlm the jibboom overboard,
and was lost. This vessel also encountered heavy westerly
gales on the passage out; lost some of her sails, and was
otherwise damaged. The ship Ocean Ranger, from Liver-
pool to Savannah, which went ashore on Monday morning
at Malahide, near Howth, has become a total wreck. The
crew have been saved.

SHOOTING IN CALIFORNIA.--Shooting isn't as
Popular in Nevada as it once was. A few years since they
used to have a dead man for breakfast every morning.
A reformed desperado told me that he supposed he had
killed men enough to stock a grave-yard.
" A feeling of
remorse," he said, " sometimes comes over me! But I'm
an altered man now. I hain't killed a man for over two
weeks ! What'll yer poison yourself with ?" he added,
dealing a resonant blow on the bar. There used to live
near Carson City a notorious desperado, who never visited
town without killing somebody. He would call for liquor
at some drinking-house, and if anybody declined joining
him ho would at once commence shooting. But one day
he shot a man too many. Going into St. Nicholas drink-
ing-house, he asked the company present to join him in a
North American drink. One individual was rash enough
to refuse. With a look of sorrow rather than of anger,
the desperado revealed his revolver, and said, " Good God!
Must I kill a man every time I come to Carson ?" and so
saying he fired and killed the individual on the spot. But
this was the last murder the bloodthirsty miscreant ever
committed, for the aroused citizens pursued him with rifles,
and shot him down at his own door.—Artemus Ward among
the Mormons.
Mdlle. Emilie Arditi, a young violinist, daughter
of the celebrated conductor, aged 14, played recently at

Theatre.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day,

OLD COURT.

The November sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, the
Sheriffs, and the Common Sergeant.
In charging the grand jury, the Common Sergeant said
the session would perhaps be of longer duration than usual,
in consequence of the cases in the calendar being of more
thanusual seriouness. The learned gentlemanthen referred
to the principal indictments, one of which was the attempted
murder in Covent-garden by a young man 'named
Murphy. If they thought that the intention of the pri-
soner was to deprive the young woman of life, then they
would of course return a true bill against him. There was
a charge against Dr. Hunter by a married woman named
Merrick. It was a very serious charge, and one which it was
exceedingly difficult to disprove. Having detailed the facts,
which have already appeared, the learned gentleman said it
was undoubtedly a serious charge, but there was something
very extraordinary and peculiar in Mrs. Merrick's evidence,
as it appeared in the deposition. She raised no alarm, made
no complaint, and immediately after the alleged transaction
left the house. Probably the grand jury would think it
well for both the public and Dr. Hunter to find a true bill,
because it was most necessary that the Matter should be
fully investigated. The next reference that the learned
gentleman made was to the indictment against Mr. Hall, the
solicitor, and Mr. Lafoucade, whioh has been so many times
before the public in connection with the name of Madame
Valentin. The grand jury then returned to their room,
and in a short time the trials commenced.
At the conclusion of the Common• Sergeant's charge Dr.
Hunter, in company with his solicitor, entered the court
and took his seat below the bar, but he did not remain for
more than five or six minutes in court.
THE ALLEGED FRAUDS ON 'SHE BIRMINGHAM BANK.
_ _ .

Taylor and Kelly, who stood indicted with fraud on the
Birmingham Bank, were placed in the dock.
The indictments were as numerous as the counsel en-
gaged in the case. The alleged frauds, it was said, were
effected by means of fictitious bills. At the conclusion
of the formal evidence, Mr. Shaw, the manager of the
bank, was examined with respect to the liability
of Taylor to the bank, which amounted to £2,500
Taylor always said the names on the bills were good, and
that they would all be met, but such was not the case.
Evidence was next taken to prove the opening of certain
offices in the City by the prisoners.
The case is not expected to close to-day.
NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with
Mint cases. One prisoner, named Rose, was found guilty
of uttering base coin, and there being three former convic-
tions proved against him, the learned Commissioner sen-
tenced him to 15 years' penal servitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Thia Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Brown, a young man, describing
himself as a waiter, but refusing his address, was charged
More Mr. Tyrwhitt with burglariously breaking and en-
tering the dwelling-house of Mr. William Day, landlord of
the Horse and Dolphin, 11, Macclesfield-street, Soho, and
stealing a box containing money and a musical box.
Mr. Day said—About half-past 10 on Saturday night
my barmaid asked me if any one had gone upstairs. I said
I thought not. My barmaid then got a light, and, hearing
a noise and seeing footsteps on the stairs, I went upstairs,
accompanied by my wife. On getting to my bedroom I
found the door wide open, and the prisoner then rushed
past me down stairs. My wife seized him by the coat
tails, and he dragged her down two or three flights of
stairs. She was then obliged to release her hold,
and then the prisonel; made his way down stairs. On
getting to the bottom he was secured by my neighbour and
others, when ho dropped a jemmy or crowbar on the floor,
the bedroom door and a box in the bedroom having been
broken open with it. At the same time the prisoner must
have dropped a piece of taper, as a piece was afterwards
found near where he had passed. A constable was then
called in and the prisoner given into custody, having a box,
my property, in his possession at the time. He had also
broken open a desk and moved a musical box.
Police-constable Thomas Davis, 227 C —I was called in
and took the prisoner into custody. I found in his pos-
session a brooch, and also a small box containing money.
He said he had the box out of Mr. Day's bedroom. I went
back to Mr. Day's house after taking the prisoner to the
station, and received from Mr. Day a " jemmy" which had
been picked up.
Police-constable Dickins, 306 A—l examined the jemmy
with the marks on the bedroom door and the desk or box,
and they correspond. I also found some wax from a taper
on the bedroom door, and a piece of taper of the same
colour was picked up in the house.
Inspector Harrison—l wish for a remand, as I believe I
shall be able to connect the prisoner with an affair of a
similar kind.
Mr. Tyrrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.—The weather for
the season has been remarkably fine upon the whole
on the north-east cost since November came in ; but on
Thursday night a remarkable number of casualties occurred
through vessels having been caught in a heavy squall
which burst upon them about 10 o'clock. The schooner
Industry, of Whitstable, went ashore upon the rocks be-
tween Shields and Sunderland, and she is likely to become
a wreck. About the same time the brig Reliance, belong-
ing to Sunderland, missed stays, and went ashore at Ryhope
Nook. Two vessels also drove ashore at Reclean They
were the Loipsic, of Margate, and the lugger Perseverance,
of Scarhorough, and they both appear likely to be wrecks.
No lives were lost, however. The crew of the Ellen, of
Stockton, reached Hartlepool from Aberdeen on Saturday.
The vessel foundered at sea about 15 miles from the Scotch
port.
THE EXODUS FROM IRELAND.—The Cork Herald
says :—" •—" The best evidence of the extraordinary vitality of
the Irish exodus is the still increasing competition amongst
steamship owners for a share in the enormous passenger
traffic between this country and America. The six lines
of ocean steamers making Queenstown a port of call on
their passage to America have just been supplemented by
a seventh, which promises to afford advantages that will
place it on a par with those already engaged in the trade.
Messrs. Guion and Co., the extensive brokers of New York
and Liverpool, who have hitherto shared largely in the
business of the National Company's line, have severe& or
are about to sever, their connection with that undertaking,
and have started an independent line of first-class steam-
ships. For the present they have chartered four of the
Allan Company's Canadian steamers, pending the construc-
tion of a fleet of new vessels, of great size and superiority,
the first of which will commence to ply in the spring. The
departures will bo weekly (every Thursday) from Liver-
pool, calling at Queenstown every Friday to embark pas-
sengers. Hopes are entertained that the owners' large
influence on the other side of the Atlantic will enable
them to secure the privilege of conveying the United
States' mails, as at present enjoyed by the Inman line.
Tho first of the chartered steamers, the Moravia; called
at Queenstown on Friday, bound out, having made the
run from Liverpool in 21 hours, although her engines
were slowed for some time. She had on board nearly her
full complement of passengers, and about fifty addi-
tional cleared and embarked from the wharf of the agents
at Queenstown, within half an hour of the steamer's
arrival."

---- • -
DEATH OF DR. WORCESTER.—The death of Jo-
seph Emerson Worcester, LL.D., which occurred at Cam-
bridge, Mass., Friday, Oct. 27, is announced. Dr. Worcester
was born in Bedford, N. H., August 24, 1784, and removed
to Hollis, N.H., in 1794, with his father's family. He was
educated at Hollis, Andover and Salisbury Academies,
and was graduated at Yale in 1814. While teaching
school he published a " Geographical Dictionary," 1817,
and a " Gazetteer of the United States" in 1818. In 1819
he published "Elements of Geography, Ancient and Mo-
dern," at Cambridge, Mass., whither he had removed, and
the next year an " Epitome of Geography." Several works
of various value, but in related fields, followed these, and
then he commenced with Todd's "Johnson," that great
lexicographical labor which gave him reputation. This
work was published in 1827. The next year he prerared
an abridgment of Webster's Dictionary, and in 1830 a
Comprehensive (Pronouncing) and Explanatory Dic-
tionary. He then visited Europe, and spent much time
in those philological inquiries which had their fruit in
his revised lexicon. A Universal and Critical Dictionary
of the English Language was published by him in 1846,
which was immediately reprinted in Eurnpc!. His Pro-
nouncing, Explanatory,and Synonymous Dictionary made
its appearance in 1855, and in 1860 his magnus opus, 4to,
"A Dictionary of the English Language' was published.
He also published a spelling-book, and edited the Ameri-
can Almanac for twelve years from 1831. His doctorate
came from Dartmouth and Brown Colleges, and he was a
member of various learned societies.
Mr. T. C. WELSCH, an American artist living at
Frankfort-on-the-Maine, has lately painted a beautiful
picture of Frankfort, -which is very highly spoken of by
artists and connoisseurs. The view was taken from the
former favourite summer-house of the great Goethe. Mr.
Welsch not long since bad an " Order of Ernestine" con-
ferred on him by the Duke of Saxe-Gotha for a beautiful
Swiss scene painted for the Duke.

COTTON-PICKING MACHINE.—The Cairo Times
has the following:— " A gentleman paid Cairo a visit a few
weeks since, on business connected with a machine for
picking cotton, and from its workings the instrument pro-
mises to be a perfect success. The gentleman alluded to
hopes to have the machine ready by the last cotton-pick-
ing this fall, and to have it in perfect order by the time
the next crop invites picking. This has heretofore been
considered impossible, but the principle of this machine is
destined to surmount all opposition and meet the desired
end.
Punch bas obtained a valuable recruit to his
artistib ranks' in the person of;the daughter of a dignitary
of the church in the diocese of Manchester. The sketches
