COUNTRY MARKETS

GAINS BOROUGH—TUESDAY.
Our Corn Exchange to-day was well supplied with
grain. The best lots of wheat fetched the rates of last
week, but inferior were neglected—white, 51s to 54s ; red,
49s to 50s per qr. The barley trade ruled heavy, and
coarse samples ruled slightly in buyers favour. Other de-
scriptions of grain as before.

Fearful Colliery Explosion near Merthyr.

UPWARDS OF THIRTY LIVES LOST.
MERTHYR, Wednesday Night.
This morning, at half-past eight, a fearful ex-
plosion of gas occurred at the Upper Gethin pit,
near Merthyr. It resulted in the death of 30 men,
chiefly married, injuries to several others, and the
destruction of four horses.

Mr. Wales, Government Mine Inspector, was on
the scene of the catastrophe soon after the occur-
rence. There were upwards of 100 men in the pit
at the time of the casualty. It is said that the
casualty was occasioned by a man who looks after
the wind-roads, approaching au old stall with an
exposed lamp.
Up to the time of writing, however, all thelamps
recovered have been found to have been efficient.
The greatest consternation prevails in the neigh-
bourhood.

day afternoon last the Duke of Marlborough presented the

NORTHUMBERLAND.

The cattle disease is rapidly abating in New-
castle-on-Tyne. There have not been more than
six deaths reported within the past eight days, and
eight other animals have been slaughtered and
passed as food. According to the last report made
by the Government inspectors the disease had only
appeared in one fresh cow-byre in the town. There
are nn riTc`rta of ho f1i30.80 being prevalent in any
other part of the county of Northumberland. Some
anxiety, however, is expressed of a danger arising
from beasts brought to the Newcastle markets, and,
hot meeting purchasers, being kept over until ano-
ther week. Some animals had stood the market
twice without meeting purchasers, and had been
turned out to graze in the suburbs of Newcastle.
Two of these animals were found dead on Sunday
morning, and two others were in an advanced stage
of the disease. A special meeting of the North of
England Chamber of Agriculture has been held at
Newcastle-on-Tyne, when the heads of a proposed
Cattle Disease Prevention Bill were presented to
the chamber by the committee. The first part of
the bill relates to the removal, grazing, or exposure
for sale of cattle which the owner knows, or has
reasonable cause to suspect, were diseased ; the se-
cond part relates to special provisions against epi-
demics in cattle ; the third to the carriage of cattle
from one place to another ; the fourth as to the hold-
ing of markets and fairs ; the fifth to legal proceed-
ings and saving clauses ; the sixth and last to the re-
pealing of existing Acts relating to disease of cattle.
The bill was referred to the district committees
for consideration. The Iligh Sheriff of Northumber-
land has called a county meeting, to be held on the
27th inst. at Morpeth, to consider questions arising
' out of the spread of the cattle disease, and to petition
Parliament thereon.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE ON A WOMAN.—At a PC°

lADVERTISEMENT.j—HoIIoway's Pills.—Dark and cheer-

are far above the average. Tho cause is probably diffusel
through the dense damp fogs which have been so prevalen

terminated by foul gases, and give tone to the nervous sere
tern,
whereby typhus, typhoid, gastric, and bilious fev°l.-
are warded off. Holloway's pills are also the best knovai
promoters of digestion, the surest regulators of the fiverlti
and the most valued and effective of all aperients. Wbed
the health is impaired with loss of appetite, vigour, el'
sleep, this medicine will be found a certain restoratiVel
and will rarely fail to effect a complete cure.

LITERATURE.

Once a Week. Christmas Number.

Ihe Christmas numbers of our weekly and
monthly serials usually show them at their very
best, in due accordance with the brightness and
pleasantness of the holiday season. The Christ-
mas number of awe a Week is no exception to
this rule, and it iE replete with interest and amuse-
ment. We have high-wrought romance, tragedy,
comedy, farce, and melodrama, with all the ex-
traneous aid that the poet and the illustrator can
give them. " Oar Brown Passenger," by Henry
Kingsley, is told with all his accustomed force and
fire, and it is a sufficiently exciting narrative,
recording a meeting with an iceberg in the dead of
a lovely night. The Brown Passenger, who turns
out to be a Real-Admiral incognito, throws off
his reserve, and cones boldly to the rescue, supply-
ing the place of the captain, and organising the pas-
sengers to supersede the cowardly crew. Mrs.

Wood, the authoress of " East Lynne," gives us a
story of " A Ches: with Silver Mountings," which
is also in part a sef, story. " The Golden Wedding
in the Workhouse.' is a page from " the short and
simple annals of the poor." " The Ace of Hearts"
is a somewhat disnal story of Dutton Cook, and as
no Christmas nunLber could be complete without its
ghost story, we lave an account of the practical
service rendered ly a ghost detective. " Christmas
Thoughts on Copkery" are so very sensible and
appropriate, that we hope our fair chatelaines will
take care to act upon them during the new year.

Chambers's Journel, containing an extra Christmas
Number.

The numerous readers of this valuable periodical
will be delighted to meet with the addenda here
presented to them in the shape of a collection of tales
entitled " Waiting fox the Host." The serio-
comic strain in which they are told is most
amusing, and quite_ a pantomimic effect is produced
by the rivalries and vigilance of the two aspirants
for the vacant chair of state. Some of the tales
told at the table are very interesting, and " Wait-
ing for a Suitor" is perhaps the most momentous
one. The readers of the general part of the maga-
zine will be glad to learn that they are to be fur-
nished with another tale by the author, of the
" Clyffard of Clyffe," which exciting narrative
will be completed in the December part. There
is much to attract attention in this part of Cham-
bers's Journal; and we can confidently recom-
mend it to the notice of the numerous class who
seek for diversion at this holiday season, and can-
not fail to meet with it in these varied contents.

THE STABLE MOUSE.

I can see nothing in the race with the most remote
chance of beating the FRENCH HORSE. With the excep-
tion of Regalia, a daughter of Stockwell, and winner of the
Oaks, I can select not a competitor likely even to extend

BEACON—Sporting Gazette.
The remainder of the field will comprise the four fillies
—Klarinska, Regalia, Peeress, and Zephyr—and what of
them? Just this, that Slarinska and Regalia cannot be
regarded otherwise than as one and the same, for the
former won the Yorkshire Oaks quite as easily as did
Regalia the Epsom .oaks, and as Peeress beat Kla-
rinska at Goodwood it is impossible to whip the three
apart, while Zephyr's performance in the Ascot Cup
eight lengths behind Ely and General Peel in their cele-
brated dead heat, leaves room to infer that Baron Roths-
child's may turn out as good as any of the trio. But,
nevertheless, I do not believe that any of them can pre-

GLADIATEUR

from emulating the fame of West Australian, who alone
has secured the triple crown ; and I am so doubtful of
what has been the best chance of securing second honours
that I must leave those who bet on places to make their
own selections, merely hinting that my leaning is towards
Christmas Carol and Klarinska, because we have seen both
get the distance in respectable company, while the field
behind Regalia was at the time she won the Oaks so rotten•
from sexual causes there is no depending on that race as a
criterion of merit.

TROUBADOUR.
So, all you that are wise
Attend to my advice,
There is but GLADIATEUR in the race ;
So be quick and "put it down,"
Your "monkey" or your " crown,"
And back the gay Klarinska for a place !

SITIEMS.

But if I must speak clear,
Then! oh dear! and oh dear !

Is there ne'er a word ending in "inska,"
Discarding the " crack,"
I shall go for "all black,"

For John Scott, Mr. Bowes, and KLARINSKA
PEEPING Tom.

"Should any ither swell the field, -
They'll be but in each other's way,
And if they're prudent they will wait
To see their ' weight' some ither day ;
For if the Frenchman's fit and well,
He'll lead them aw a pretty dance,
And I shall wi' our allies stand
Sae GLADIATEUR, and Vive La France !"

AuGuß—Sporting Life.

When the numbers of the first three are displayed, the
fortunate trio who have obtained the most honourable
"places" will be found to correspond with this ultimatum,
and public form once more vindicated :
GLADIATEUR 1
REGALIA 2
SLARINSICA 3

The Field.

Finally summing up our anticipations of the St. Leger,
we must give it as our conviction that, notwithstanding
the stories which have been put about with reference to
the Derby winner, as we know he is well and meant,
GLADIATEUR and no other will win.

France and the Gastein Convention

RELTTER'S EXPRESS.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 8.
The Journal de Brusselles publishes the follow-
ing as the text of a circular said to have been
addressed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the diplo-
matic representatives of France in foreign parts,
with reference to the Galstein Convention.
" The newspapers have brought us the text of
the Gastein Convention. It is not my intention to
enter into its stipulations in detail, but it may not
be devoid of interest to examine what are the
motives which have guided the two great German
Powers in these two negotiations.

" Have they intended to consecrate the right of
ancient treaties ? Assuredly not ; the treaties of
Vienna had settled the conditions of existence of the
Danish Monarchy. These conditions are over-
thrown. The Treaty of London was a new testi-
mony to the solicitude of Europe for the duration
of the integrity of that monarchy ; it is torn by two
of the Powers by whom it had been signed.
" Have Austria and Prussia concerted together
for the defence of an unacknowledged succession ?
In place of restoring to the best authorised claimant
the inheritance in dispute, they share it between
themselves.

"Do they consult the interest of Germany ?
Their confederates have only learnt the Gastein
arrangements through the public prints. Germany
desired an indivisible Schleswig-Holstein State,
separated from Denmark, and governed by a Prince
whose claims she had espoused. This popular can-
didate has now been set aside, and the Duchies
separated, instead of being united, pass under two
different rulers.

" Have the two Powers wished to guarantee the
interest of the Duchies themselves ? It was stated
that the indissoluble union of the territories was
the essential condition of their prosperity.
" Has the partition, at any rate, had the object
of disintegrating two rival nationalities, and putting
an end to their interior discussions by securing to
each an independent existence ? This is not the
case, for we see that the line of operation taking no
account of the distinction of races, allows Danes to
be confounded with Germans.

" Have the wishes of the populations been consi-
dered? They have not been consulted in any
shape, and there is not even a question of convoking
the Schleswig Holstein Diet. •

" Upon what principle then does the Austro-
Prussian combination rest ? We regret to find
in it no other foundation than force, no other
justification than the reciprocal convenience
of the sharers. This is a practice to which Europe
has now become unaccustomed, and prece-
dents for which must be sought in the saddest
epochs of history. Violence and conquest pervert
the notions of right and the consciousness of nations.
Substituted for the principles which regulate the
life of modern society, they form an element of
trouble and of dissolution, and can only overthrow
the ancient order without solidly building up any
new system."
London, England, 1865-09-09

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

The report of the directors states that £5,145,629
had been expended to the 31st of July last on capital
account, including £284,046 in shares of other com-
panies. The sum of £15,219 had been expended on
the renewal of permanent way during the half year,
and £lO,OOO bad been charged against revenue
Five Acts of Parliament had been obtained by the
company during the last Session, and the works
would when executed add very considerably to the
value of the undertaking. The first Act authorized
the amalgamation of divers railway companies with
this company ; the second Act enabled the company
to make new railways between Kilmarnock and
Glasgow ; the third Act authorized the company to
make- and maintain certain railways in the county
of Ayr; the fourth Act to construct new railways
in connexion with the company's railways and Kirk-
cudbright and Bridge of Weir railway ; and the
fifth to contribute funds towards the City of Glas-
gow Union Railway. The amalgamation with the
Castle Douglas and Dumfries, Maybole and Gir-
van, Kirkcudbright and Bridge of Weir railways
took effect on the Ist of August, the length of line
now open being thus increased to 249 miles. The
working plans for the Kilmarnock direct Railway
were in course of preparation. A portion only of
the railway to Larges included in Act No. 4 was
obtained. The remaining works authorised by it
would effect considerable improvements at various
parts of the line at a small cost. The Act promoted
by independent parties, with the support of this
company, for the construction of the Greenock and
Ayrshire Railway, was obtained after a severe con-
test, and no time would be lost in carrying out the
undertaking, which it was thought must form a
very valuable feeder to the railway. The total
traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of
July last amounted to £248,193, against £238,073
for the corresponding half last year, showing an in-
crease of £10,120. The total expenditure amounted
to £109,885, against £106,941, showing an increase
of £2,944. The net receipts amounted to £138,308,
against £131,132, for the corresponding half of
1864, showing an increase of £7,176. The balance
available for dividend on preference and ordinary
stocks amounted to £119,711, against £109,781,
showing an increase of £9,922. The dividend on
the 5 per cent. perpetual guaranteed stocks ab-
