THE NATIONAL GALLERY, which remains closed
unil the 6th prox., has been enhanced in value as a public
collection by the addition of a new picture to hemline.
It is diyided into two compartments, and represents St.
John the Baptist and St. Lawrence, upright, standing in
bright backgrounds of appropriate characters. Each saint
bears his emblem ; the lamb is in the arms of the former,
who wears the skin garments ; while the other, who is
dressed in the deacon's robes of red and white, holds the
instrument of his martyrdom.

YORK.

On Saturday, a meeting of agriculturists was held
at the White Swan Hotel, York, to consider the
steps that might be taken to prevent the spread of
the cattle disease. Mr. F. Carr, who presided, ex-
pressed his fears, from what he had heard, that a
few cases of the cattle disease had taken place in the
neighbourhood of York, and said it had been sug-
gested that the large fairs for cattle and sheep held
in that city should be closed for two or three months.
If that could not be done, he, at all events, thought
some means might be adopted to prevent the foreign
being mixed with the English cattle in those markets.
In the course of conversation which then ensued,
the feeling of the meeting was against closing the
markets altogether, on the ground of serious injury
to the trade. Mr. Whittaker, one of the lessees of
the market, said they would have no objection, with
the sanction of the corporation, to prohibit foreign
cattle coming into the market if it could be proved
that they had brought the disease into this country.
He thought it was a matter of great importance that
cattle, after they were brought to the York station,
should not be kept standing in the trucks as long
as three or four hours, as had been the case, before
they were unloaded. The Town Clerk promised to
lay the matter before the Lord Mayor, but stated he
could not advise him to close the markets altogether,
and he did not think his Lordship would do anything
without obtaining the sanction of the corporation.

Magazine for October, by Gen. Jordan; chief of
Beauregard's staff. General Jordan enters into a
detailed examination of Mr. Davis's management of
the war, accuses him of " surely guiding the
Southern cause to utter ruin," and of surrounding
himself, not with advisers chosen on account of their
capacity, but with " men for the most part malleable
to his will." " Thus," he continues, "in a little
while almost every person of ability, nearly every
one of spirit, was driven from the councils of the
South and the direction of affairs, leaving the Gover-
nment to a large degree in the bands of those from
whom efficient administration was not to be ex-
pected." This from a leading officer in the army of
the late Confederacy helps to show that the " Con-
federates" are not all so attached to Mr. Davis as
Mr. Benjamin, now happily in England, professes
himself to be.

The papers hostile to England are all urging the
Fenians to go on with their work, only to do it more
quietly. The last part of the advice is not yet fol-
lowed. I went to a meeting of Fenians the other
night in this city, at which about 2,000 were pre-
sent, nearly all of whom had paid 50c. for admis-
sion. There were many women and girls among
them, and they seemed by their manner to think it
a great distinction to be a Fenian sister. The prin-
cipal speaker told his audience that now was the
time to pay up their subscriptions, and that arms
and soldiers would soon be on their way to Ireland.
He threw himself into a frenzy in speaking of Eng-
land, and quickened it immensely when he came to
deal with the Times. The people yelled and hooted,
and there was a very brisk demand for tagerbier
shortly afterwards in the immediate neighbourhood,
the Fenian sisters joining with great spirit in this
part of the proceedings also. The news of the
arrests made in Ireland cows some of the loud-
mouthed " orators" who have been living sumptu-
ously on the strength of the wrongs of Ireland, and
it has given a timely warning to their silly dupes.
The Americans themselves may find after all that
they have got more than they bargained for in an
organisation which can be more powerful for evil in
this country than in. England.
The State Convention of Georgia will meet on the
25th of this month, and the people are now about
to elect their delegates.

PERNAMET7CO (LIMITED.)

The report of the directors of this company states
that when last the directors met the shareholders it
was confidently expected by them that the promised
extension of the company's guarantee would long
before this have been confirmed by the Senate. The
company's manager, Mr. Bramah, was instructed
to endeavour to have the question confirmed and
settled, and an attempt was accordingly made
and pressed by him upon the Minister with his
usual energy and address, but without effect.
The matter, therefore, necessarily remained for
the present in abeyance. In the meantime,
however, the ex-Minister of Agriculture, Commerce,
and Public Works, Senor Domiciano Leite Ribeiro,
it appeared, was censured by some of the Opposi-
tion, for having included the company's guarantee
among the Ministerial Estimates, had recently pub-
lished a pamphlet justifying himself and his col-
leagues for having done so, with, as it would seem,
the most complete success. So important do the
directors regard the pamphlet, as showing the po-
licy of every Ministry, whatever its politics which
had existed in Brazil since the presentation of the
company's second petition in IS6I, that they had it

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1865.

The MONROE doctrine seems likely to sow -the
seeds of a very serious dissension. Now that the
tremendous struggle with the South is fairly over
the Americans of the Northern States feel free to
reiterate their favourite theory, and to direct it
especially against the new empire which raises its
front on their borders. According to this MONROE
doctrine, to which Englishmen generally pay little
attention, but of which Americans think a great
deal, no power has a right to exist on the soil of the
vast Northern Continent save and except it is of
American origin. Europe naturally does not look
on this ambitious doctrine with mach favour, for it
is easy to see that it might be turned against the two
principal States of the Old World. The preoccu-
pation of their energies with their own immediate
affairs has hitherto prevented the Americans from
making more than an occasional protest against
the presence of French troops in Mexico, but now
that they are more at leisure, and are flushed with
recent triumph, they are inclined to think they have
only to speak to be listened to with awe and defer-
The rumour that the Emperor NAPOLEON
was organising an African force for the
assistance of MAxIMILIAN has sufficed to
inflame the American mind to fury. The
press of New York and the press of New
England, not always harmonious in their views,
coincide fully on this point. In commercial circles,
even, where the chance of a European war might be
supposed to be regarded with the greatest appre-
hension, the expulsion of the French is confidently
talked of. The popular excitement on the subject

ence.
London, England, 1865-10-16

may be guessed from the fact that Mr. SEWARD,
whom we are in the habit of regarding as unneces-
sarily ferocious towards European Powers, fails to
represent adequately the feeling of his countrymen.
He seldom troubles himself to mask his sentiments
under courtly phraseology ; but he isnow constantly
censured for the " subserviency" which he has
shown to France, and he is even charged with
secretly favouring the maintenance of the French
influence in Mexico. So far from this accusation
being correct, Mr. SEWARD has carefully endea-
voured to convince the French Government that the
Washington Cabinet would never agree to waive
the MONROE doctrine; and that, consequently, it
would be impossible for it to countenance the pre-
sence of the French in Mexico. He has now, how-
ever, proceeded further. After addressing two or
three forcible remonstrances to the French Govern-
ment, he has taken a resolute stand respecting the
organisation of the African troops. It is said that
Mr. SEWARD has notified to the Emperor MAXI-
MILIAN that it will not permit these troops to land,
and that any intervention on the part of NAPOLEON
111. will probably lead to a rupture between the two
Governments. The course which the French EM-
PEROR may think fit to take at this juncture is natu-
rally a matter of great interest both in Europe and
America ; but whatever` be the speculations most
rife, there is no doubt that affairs have reached
an important crisis. The Americans, who are
never lacking in confidence and self-conceit, are
inclined to think that they could expel the French
troops with very little trouble. In this supposition
they are likely to find themselves very much mis-
taken should NAPOLEON 111. care to contest the
question. The opening of another war of such
gigantic proportions could not be regarded without
regret, and for America herself the consequences
would be lamentable. A costly foreign war, what-
ever the result, though it could hardly he otherwise
than disastrous with such an antagonist as France,
would complete the confusion of his finances
and the ruin of her commerce. It can
only be the lingering excitement of the war, formed
naturally enough by men like GRANT and SHERMAN,
that leads moderate Americans to forget the
crippled condition of their resources, the enormous
deficit which they labour under, and the heavy
taxes which already burden the people. There was
hope that under a liberal and conciliatory policy
the wounds of America might be healed, and her
people once more tread the path of peace and pros-
perity. But if once the passion for war is suffered
to dominate in her councils, we can hope for no-
thing but dismemberment and confusion. Such a
prospect cannot but excite uneasiness and appre-
hension, but the people of the New World are
apparently too confident in their own wisdom to
profit by the experience of the Old.

FUNERAL OF A VOLUNTEER.

One of the most remarkable demonstrations which
has yet been made by the metropolitan volunteers
took place yesterday afternoon, the occasion being
the funeral of Sergeant Dransfield, instructor of the
Ist Tower Hamlets Volunteer Engineer Corps, who
was unfortunately killed while on duty, through the
premature explosion of a mine. Sergeant Dransfield
formerly belonged to the Royal Engineers, and
joined the above volunteer regiment some four years
since. During his connection with the corps he
gained the highest esteem of the officers and mem-
bers, and when he met with his untimely end it was
determined to pay him full military honours at the
grave. Captain John A. Coffey, commandant of
the corps, issued a regimental order, in which he in-
vited the members of the other volunteer corps in
the metropolitan district to join with his regiment
n forming the funeral procession. This invitation
was responded to in a way which gave a most con-
vincing proof of the thoroughly general feeling
which animates the entire body of •volunteers. It
having been announced in the daily papers that the
funeral would take place yesterday afternoon, an
immense number of spectators assembled to witness
the ceremony. The troops met at the militia bar-
racks, Globe-street, at the back of Bethnal-green
Church. Two o'clock was named as the hour of
muster, but long before that time the immediate
neighbourhood was densely crowded by people, and
it required a strong body of police to keep the streets
sufficiently clear for the different corps of the volun-
teers to march to the barracks. About 8,000 men,
belonging to all arms of the service, paraded. The
following amongst other corps were represented :-

Engineers from Chatham and Woolwich, IstMiddle-
sex Engineers, let City of London Engineers, Staff of

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday wore quiet for
wheat; nevertheless both red and white qualities changed
hands at full prices. In spring corn only a moderate busi-
ness was transacted on former terms. The flour trade was
steady at late rates. Advices from America report more
business in wheat and flour for export, with a steady con-
sumptive demand. In prices an improvement had taken
place. On the Continent the corn trade generally is steady;
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 23,771 quarters of wheat, 10,467 'barley, 30,549 oats,
640 rye, 46 beans, 718 peas, 196 tares, 25,904 linseed,
25,259 oilseeds, 7,039 maize, 60 sundry seeds, 252 sacks
and 2,360 barrels of flour.
The supply of home-grown wheat received fresh up to
our market to-day was very moderate, but the Condition
of the bulk of the produce was good. The trade opened
with firmness, and factors demanded Is. per quarter more
money than on Monday last, both for red and white
samples. Sales progressed slowly ; nevertheless, a clearance
for all good and fine qualities was effected, and in some in-
stances an improvement 'in value of ls. per quarter was
realised. For inferior home-grown wheat the trade was
slow, at late rates.
The imports of foreign wheat continue good, and to
day's market was well supplied with Continental, but very
moderately with American descriptions. A fair amount of
business was transacted, and prices generally ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at fully
late rates.

The supply of English barley on sale was moderate, but
there was a great scarcity of fine samples. The trade for
good and fine malting qualities, therefore, ruled firm at
very full prices, but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry.
Foreign barley moved off slowly at previous quotations.
Malt was in fair average request, and prices were well
supported.
There was a good supply of oats on the stands. The
trade was firm for all qualities, at the full prices of Mon-
day last to 6d per quarter advance. The improvement was
chiefly in Russian produce.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled steady,
at late rates.

The market for peas was quiet, at late currencies. The
supply on offer was very moderate.
Most descriptions of flour were in fair demand, and the
quotations ruled firm. The supply of barrels on offer has
slightly increased.

This was an action to recover 7s. for goods

not dispute the debt, but entered into a war of words I►.
the lidy who advocated plaintiff's rights. During the
discussion defendant's representative said she had received
a letter from plaintiff which was very insulting, and upon
its being handed up to the bench, his Honour said, " This
is not a letter from plaintiff, it is a letter from a ghost."
Defendant's representative—Oh ! it is a mistake ; that
is not the one.

The following is a copy of the letter, written in a firm
hand, excepting where the word ghost occurs, and then
it is marked with a most ominous trembling, symbolical
of the fear to be felt by the recipients, the uncomplimentary
ghost writes as follows :7

" U dirty old man,—if udo not paye mye widdy for the
clothes i drowned myself in, and which u are now wearing
and sho sing off, my ghost shall haunt U—u.
" THE GHOST.

" i shall see u at 12 to knight."
After this postscript follows a graphic picture of a man in
the act of committing suicide.
His Honour, after hearing the wrongs of each party,
made an order against defendant to pay the debt by two
instalments.

THE EPIDEMIC IN SPAIN.—A Madrid letter of
the 10th, written before the improvement in the
public health, signified by telegram, has the following:—
"As soon as the Queen learned that the capital was
menaced by the epidemic, she expressed a determination
to return to the palace at Madrid. It is believed, however,
that the Ministers, who all'arrived here this morning, will
exert all their influence to induce her Majesty to depart
from her generous determination."
THE CHOLERA NEAR EPPING.--The outbreak of
cholera at Epping seems to have subsided. Among
the prompt measures taken by the local authorities, two
railway truck loads of quicklime have been thrown into
cesspools and upon the dungheaps near the houses in
danger of infection. A strict supervision of the labourers'
cottages is also being made, and at a meeting of the board
of guardians on Friday it was ordered that a house-to
house visitation should be made, and Dr. Clegg was duly
invested with the power to see that the instructions of the
General Board of Health are properly carried out under the
orders of the magistrates.
SHOCKING DEATH FROM SOMNAMBULISM. --- On
Saturday an inquest was held at Brompton as to the
death of Mrs. Anne White, aged 76, an independent lady,
residing in Chapel-place, who died under the following
circumstances. The deceased was a widow lady, under
the care of a nurse, and on Wednesday night by some
means left her sleeping apartment and wandered about the
upper part of the house, as she had done before. At an
early hour on Thursday morning a young man heard a
heavy fall, and when he looked into the street he saw the
deceased lying on the pavement. Mr. Parfitt, a surgeon,
was called in, but the deceased, who had sustained a dis-
location of the spinal column, expired in half an hour
afterwards. The deceased had walked out of one of the
windows on the second floor, as the flower pots were found
removed and the window wide open. The jury returned
verdict of Accidental death.

sperity as evinced by the condition of the revenue,
owing to the wonderful energy, the wonderful in-
dustry, and the wonderful skill of English manufac-
turers and merchants,which, in spite of reduction of
taxation, kept up an amount of revenue which was a
marvel not only to foreign countries, but to the most
skilled and experienced financiers among ourselves.
(Applause.) It was only to the energy and skill of
the English manufacturer and merchant that it could
be owing; and it was, he hoped, no unjustifiable
source of pride to the Ministry that during the last
Parliament the prosperity of the country had in-
creased to such a wonderful extent. (Applause.)
It was a great satisfaction to him, on coming to a
new constituency, to find that they generally, and
he might say universally, approved of those prin-
ciples to which he had adhered during a parliamen-
tary career of 40 years. fie thought they might
fairly trust that he should not deviate from the
course he had hitherto pursued. lie rejoiced that
it had met with their support and encouragement,
and he hoped he might during the remainder of that
period of his life which would be devoted to the pub-
lic service, persevere in the maintenance of those
principles which had hitherto been so remarkably
successful. (Cheers.)

FUNERAL OF A VOLUNTEER.

One of the most remarkable demonstrations which
has yet been made by the metropolitan volunteers
took place yesterday afternoon, the occasion being
the funeral of Sergeant Dransfield, instructor of the
Ist Tower Hamlets Volunteer Engineer Corps, who
was unfortunately killed while on duty, through the
premature explosion of a mine. Sergeant Dransfield
formerly belonged to the Royal Engineers, and
joined the above volunteer regiment some four years
since. During his connection with the corps he
gained the highest esteem of the officers and mem-
bers, and when he met with his untimely end it was
determined to pay him full military honours at the
grave. Captain John A. Coffey, commandant of
the corps, issued a regimental order, in which he in
the members of the othdr volunteer corprin
the metropolitan district to join with his regiment
n forming the funeral procession. This invitation
was responded to in a way which gave a most con-
vincing proof of the thoroughly general feeling
which animates the entire body of volunteers. 'lt
having been announced in the daily papers that the
funeral would take place yesterday afternoon, an
immense number of spectators assembled to witness
the ceremony. The troops met at the militia bar-
racks, Globe-street, at the back of Bethnal-green
Church. Two o'clock was named as the hour of
muster, but long before that time the immediate
neighbourhood was densely crowded by people, and
it required a strong body of police to keep the streets
sufficiently clear for the different corps of the volun-
teers to march to the barracks. About 3,000 men,
belonging to all arms of the service, paraded. The
following amongst other corps were represented:-
Ist Tower Hamlets Volunteer Engineer Corps, Royal
Engineers from Chatham and Woolwich, Ist Middle-
sex Engineers, Ist City of London Engineers, Staff of
the Militia and Recruiting Staff, Ist Tower Hamlets

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1865.

The MoNfloE doctrine seems likely to sow the
seeds of a very serious dissension. Now that the
tremendous struggle with the South is fairly over
the Americans of the Northern States feel free to
reiterate their favourite theory, and to direct it
especially against the new empire which raises its
front on their borders. According to this AIONROE
doctrine, to which Englishmen generally pay little
attention, but of which Americans think a great
deal, no power has a right to exist on the soil of the
vast Northern Continent save and except it is of
American origin. Europe naturally does not look
on this ambition.: doctrine with much favour, for it
is easy to see that it might be turned against the two
principal States of the Old World. The preoccu-
pation of their energies with their own immediate
affairs has hitherto prevented the Americans from
making more than an occasional protest against
the presence of French troops in Mexico, but now
that they are more at leisure, and are flushed with
recent triumph, they are inclined to think they have
only to speak to be listened to with awe and defer-
ence. The rumour that the Emperor NAPOLEON
• .•
was organising an African force for the
assistance of ALtxiNILIAN has sufficed to
inflame the American mind to fury. The
Press of New York and the press of New
England, not always harmonious in their views,
coincide fully on this point. In commercial circles,
even, where the chance of a European war might be
supposed to be regarded with the greatest appre-
hension, the expulsion of the French is confidently
talked of. The popular excitement on the subject
