NE* WRIT

On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered
to issue for the election of a member for the borough of
Lancaster, vacant by the decease of Mr. Samuel Gregson.
GROUND IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF
WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.
Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that he would ask a ques-
tion relative to the ground between Bridge-street, West-
minster, and tha Palace Yard.
WOODS AND FORESTS.
Mr. A. SMITH gave notice that he would move for an
enquiry into the constitution of the board of Woods and
Forests.

THE RAILWAY SYSTEM.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
if it was the intention of the Government to institute any
and what inquiry into our railway systhm, with a view to
future legislation, shouldsuch legislation appear practicable
and advantageous ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCREQUER.said he was
aware of the motive which prompted the question of the
hon. and learned member, and he would furnish him with
as full information as he possibly could. It was the inten-

e s
....., ____ ~.
tion of the Government to recommend to her Majesty the
to the economical ar-
rangements of a royal commission to inquire into this
rasunbgjeecint,enbtustcosnimnpeelyte with
pt hrroe railwaysfproposed
reference
to
compromise
in regard to the con-
veyance of minerals andctherarticles. It was not intended
to interfere with the policy of railways, which had as much
right to be exempted from interference as any other inte-
the attention of the house
inte-
rest. It was in no wdayl'n
p Govern-
ment or the house in any proceedings proposed by the Go-
vernment, and he impressed on
the difficulty of legislation on this subject.
TAXES LEVIED ON BRITISH SHIPPING.
Mr. CLAY asked the Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether it was intended any longer to permit
her Majesty's Consul General at St. Petersburg to supple-
ment his salary by a tax, known as agency money, levied
on British shipping, and received by him as agent for the
Russia Company.
Mr. LAYARD said that papers laid on the table last
evening, and distributed that day amongst members, were
quite explanatory on thissubject. The gentleman in ques-
tion could not bo deprived of the emoluments alluded to
without receiving a remuneration, but it was intended by
his noble friend at the head of the Foreign-office not to
allow the tax in question to be received in future.
Mr. CLAY asked the President of the Board. of Trade.
whether he could give any information as to the progress
of the inquiry promised by him into the taxes levied on
British shipping by, or in the name of, the Russia Com-
pany.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that from inqiiiries made at St. ,
Petersburg, and a report frqin the British Ambassador,
there en the subject of dues, it appeared that the mer-
claants at St. Petersburg were in favour of the present
system, and that, consequently, interference would-be in-
furious on the part of the Govoramout. Whore was no

respect to the recent robbery at Mr. Walker's premises.
The communication having been read,
Mr. Alderman CARTER said he regretted to find that some
questions to the Commissioner had not been replied to in
that report.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said the report just read had re-
ference only to proceedings in the committee on Friday
last. The questions which Mr. Alderman Carter referred
to were only put on the previous day, and there had been
no time to embody the answers in that return.
Mr. Alderman CARTER regretted they were not answered;
however, he moved that the memorial be referred to a com-
mittee to have a full investigation. Many flagrant robberies
had been committed within the City, some of which were
of minor importance to the one at present occupying their
attention, but they had become so numerous that the inha-
bitants were in a continual state of alarm. It was a shame
to them that the City should be in such a state, and it be-
hoved them all to do all in their power to prevent any
future occurrences of the sort.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion.

It was eventually decided, upon the suggestion of Mr.
Alderman Besley, to refer the memorial, together with the
later from Mr. Walker, and the communication from the
Commissioner; to the General Purposes Committee, to con-
sider and report on the same.
- The Court then adjourned.

trial in. the Regent Canal Dock, Limehouse, in the presence
of some officers of the navy and army, and many other
persons. The lifeboat, which is 40 feet long, was capsized
by means of some tackling attached to an hydraulic crane.
She immediately self-righted, and the water she brought
back with her was ejected in half a minute. Various other
experiments were subsequently made with the boat, and
they all produced an equally satisfactory result. The boat
is called the Van Kook, after E. W. Cooke, Esq., R.A.,
F.R.S., the distinguished marine artist, who, including his
own liberal contribution of £2OO, has collected nearly the
whole cost of the boat, amounting to X 450. She is to be
stationed at North Deal, in the neighbourhood of the
Goodwin Sands, and leaves to-day for her station in
charge of some of her crew.

We have to announce the death of M. Frowent,
of Paris, known all over Europe for his skill as a
manufacturer of scientific instruments. The de-
ceased was only 49 years of ago.

Wardle, although Kate fortunately escapes the un-
worthy alliance which her ambition prompted. The
story is, like all Mr. Lever's, told with freshness and
spirit; the characters are numerous, but each touched
off with vigour, and many of them, such as Luttrell
of Arran himself, old Sir Within, and Kate are
carefully finished portraits. Still, remembering
what Charles Lever has already accomplished, we
cannot accord to this work the praise we should
award it from another writer. It is not certainly
to be ranked among his best, although the annima-

tion of its style and the originality of its plot bear
a favourable comparison to the works of less spark-
ling writers.

Railway and other Companies.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

The directors of this company yesterday resolved to re-
commend to the proprietors a dividend for the past half-
year at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, carrying forward
a balance of £25,842.

The directors have just issued the following report, to be
submitted to the proprietors on the 24th inst. :—" The
working of the past six months enables the directors again
to propose to the proprietors a dividend at an increased
rate, and it is further satisfactory to state that the increase
in the traffic continues generally throughout the system—
the traffic in cattle between England and Ireland being
almost the only exception. The introduction into the
accounts of the past half-year of the traffic and expenses of
the St. Helen's Canal and Railway and of the Lancaster
Canal makes it necessary, in order to a comparison, to add
to the figures, as published last year, the traffic and ex-
penses of those undertakings for the same period. As
compared with the corresponding period of 1863, the
amount received for passengers,goods, minerals, and cattle,
the number of passengers, and tons of goods and minerals
carried, and of train miles run, have been as follows :

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1i per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.u-s that gold is
rather more than l-lGth per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on
gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on
the importation of go'd from the United States.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum fur the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the
recent storms and loss ..f life at sea, and to enable them
even ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankerP, Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.

DESPERATE GAROTTE ROBBERY.--John Green, well
known to the police, was charged with being concerned,
with one William M'Cormack (remanded till next Tues-
day), in a garotte robbery, and stealing from the person of
John Page a watch and chain.

The facts of the case, as detailed on Monday, are briefly
these :—On Sunday night, at half-past 11 o'clock, the pro-
secutor was in George-street, Chelsea„ rather the worse for
drink, when he was attacked by M'Cormack and another
man. M'Cormack put his arm round his neck and held
him tight while the other man ransacked his pockets and
took his watch and chain. lie relieved himself from
M'Cormack, who escaped, and having called for assist-
ance, two or three tradesmen came io his assistance,
and they secured the man who took the watch and chain.
John Benson, 345 B, came np, and the man was given
into custody, and the watch found in the road. 'On the
road to the station M'Cormack came up and threatened to
fight the prosecutor, and then he was identified as the man
who held the prosecutor while the other robbed him, and
taken into custody. A man then ran between Benson and
his prisoner, and they were separated, and while Benson
was running after his man he came in contact with a police-
sergeant, was knocked down, and lost the prisoner.
The prisoner, John Green, was now identified by Page
as the man who took the watch and chain.

The prisoner cross-examined him to show that they
were in company that night drunk, but failed to elicit any-
thing in his favour.
Ile was remanded till next Tuesday.

prices.
The absence of pressure from stocks has mainly pre-
vented a general acceptance of such offers more
freely, although some few sales have been made.
To-day we have had much the same state of things,
buyers offering for available lots at still lower rates,
while there is still an unwillingness on the part of
sellers to take these rates, although there seems to
be a growing conviction among them that the rates
offering are pretty much what the state and general
aspect of affairs would warrant. Very little busi-
ness has been done to-day in cloths on offer, and in
cloths for future delivery nothing whatever. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth-
market :
" We have been almost without business since last Tues-
day. Buyers have made a few low offers which have met
with but little general acceptance, and the business proposed
has been at a daily declining scale of prices. To-day we
have again reduced our quotations, but the business has
been on a most limited scale, and at very irregular prices."
LEEDS, 7th.—The cloth-markets to-day have
been-indifferently attended, and the business trans-
acted was of the meagre character usual when the
autumn trade is gradually expiring. Manufacturers
were most conspicuous by the activity with which
they pressed their new samples upon the attention
of the few merchants present. From what has
again transpired to-day it seems to be unquestion-
able that tweeds of various styles will occupy a
principal share of attention in the preparations
for the spring trade. Very few new makes of
meltons have yet met with encouragement, but there
•are probabilities that plain sorts will yet obtain a
good footing. There have been large deliveries to-
day of various goods, both heavy and light, such as
pilots and witncys on the one hand and tweeds on
the other, to complete orders, and in many cases
the manufacturers have wound up those engagements
satisfactorily. Buyers of ordinary market goods
were in little request, and of the small assortment in
that department to-day some remained unsold.
NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—There was a moderate at-
tendance at the Exchange-hall to-day. The demand
for lace yarns was quiet, owing to the dull advices
from Liverpool. In some instances prices were
rather lower, and a decline of 4d. per lb. on coarse
numbers has taken place during the past week. The
demand for hosiery yarns was slow, buyers holding

My Library—By Pamphilius.

PUBLISHED BY WARD, LOCK, AND TYLER.

Pamphilius, author, among many other interest-
ing and instructive works, of a " Student's French
Grammar," that has proved so wonderfully success-
ful that it has already run into its Seventh Edition,
and author, too, of a pleasant anecdotal Autobio-
graphy, that we well remember to have ourselves read
with pleasure, and to have afterwards, through these
columns, recommended (as the book deserved) to
the consideration of others—Pamphilius has here
commenced a new and congenial serial publication
of his own. "My Library," he calls it. Just as
the great Poet-Novelist-Dramatist of our day,
dubbed the most characteristic of all his fictions,
emphatically and almost lovingly, " My Novel." Not,
of course, that we would do more than bring the two
titles (as akin simply by the choice of the same pro-
noun) into the most momentary juxtaposition ! The
one work being a veritable magnum opus—the other
the most modest unassuming little adventure well
imaginable ! Pamphlius's "My Library" in effect
consists of a serial issue (apparently at uncertain in-
tervals) of little Sixpenny Volumes, thin enough to
be slipped readily into the side-pocket of one's
paletot, for the chance of a hap-hazard
reading, anywhere, everywhere almost, under
the green trees, or in the corner of a
railway carriage. Two of these little volumes
are already come to hand—one the " Economy
of Life"—the other " Patient Boys." A third is
announced as in preparation--the most attractive of
them all as yet in its title—namely, the " Genius and
Writings of a Popular Novelist," whoever that may
mean. Pamphilius, by the issue of this thoughtful
little series of volumes, can hardly fail to .win the
respect of his readers or to earn more and more
widely their attention and encouragement.

STATE OP TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 7.—ln shipping yarns we
have again had a very quiet market, and the little
business offering has been at a further reduction of
prices. An impression is gaining ground that the
market is near the turning point, and some consi-
derable offers have been made, but at prices much
too low to be accepted by spinners. This branch
of the market is tame at the close. For home yarn
we have also had a very flat market, at irregular
prices—say about 2d. per lb, below the rates current
on Tuesday last. For cloth the characteristic of the
market ever since last Tuesday has been a disincli-
nation to do any business, and only some few timid
offers on the part of buyers at daily declining prices.
The absence of pressure from stocks has mainly pre-
vented a general acceptance of such offers more
freely, although some few sales have been made.
To-day we have had much the same state of things,
buyers offering for available lots at still lower rates,
while there is still an unwillingness on the part of
sellers to take these rates, although there seem s to
be a growing conviction among them that the rates
offering are pretty much what the state and general
aspect of affairs would warrant. Very little busi-
ness has been done to-day in cloths on offer, and in
cloths for future delivery nothing whatever. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth-
market :

" We have been almost without business since last Tues-
day. Buyers have made a few low offers which have met
with but little general acceptance, and the busineas proposed

LEEDS, 7th.—The cloth-markets to-day have
