THAMES.

John Waliams, an apprentice on board the Earl of
Durham, was brought up on remand, charged with
stealing, in conjunction with several apprentices of
other vessels, eight case bottles of Hollands, from the
Thomas King, now lying at the jetty in the London
Docks.

It appeared from the evidence, which was taken at
some length, that one of the apprentices of the Thomas
King, a boy apparently not more than eleven years of
age, had been in the habit of inviting several other
lads on board and treating them to a Sunday jollifi-
cation. Amongst others was the prisoner, who was
caught in the fact of leaving the deck with a bottle of
nollands on his person.
Mr. YARDLEY having heard some further evidence,
which went to show that no person was supposed to
be on board the ship at the time, expressed his sur-
prise that property to an unknown amount should be
left in so unguarded a state. It was an astonishing
fact that four or five lads should be getting drunk on
board a ship in the docks, and no one be cognizant
of it.

Inspector White, of the Thames division, said that
ship keepers were generally employed to watch these
vessels, but they were sometimes left without any
keepers under the general superintendence.
Mr. YARDLET—The general superintendence !
Don't tell me such stuff. Why here is a system
calculated above all others to make thieves and
drunkards of this class of boys. There is an utter
recklessness of property on the one hand, and of
morals on the other. Let this lad's captain be
instantly brought here.
Captain Grayson shortly after appeared, and,
giving the lad a good character, said the Earl of
Durham was a teetotal ship, but he could not account
for the lad's conduct when out of the vessel.

Mr. YARDLEY considered that captains having
apprentices ought to pay the same attention to them
whether on shore or on board. The prisoner does
not seem to be the most criminal in this matter, and
I will fine him 201, which I hope the captain will
pay, or he must be imprisoned for eight days.
Captain Grayson—l consider imprisonment the
best punishment which can be inflicted on him.
Mr. YARDLEY—I am astonished to hear you say
so. You have children of your own, and taking this
lad as an apprentice, you enter into the place of a
father over him, and it is your duty to feel and act
as one towards him, and to rescue him from the
contaminating contact of prison associates.
The captain, with considerable reluctance,ultimately
consented to pay the fine.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

An Austrian journal announces that it is proposed
forthwith to reduce the import duties on raw metals
to the level of those of the Zollverein, that is 15 silber-
gross (about 37 sous) the quintal ; but that, with
respect to zinc, it is intended to increase the duty to
half a thaler per quintal, but in the increaser
to
reduce it to one thaler. .

The war contributions placed on the Jewish com-
munes in Hungary amounted to 2,000,000 fbrins
(the florin is 2r. 59c.) ; but, as some of them are unable
to pay, it has been ordered that all the communes in
the kingdom, except those of Presburg and Temeswar,
shall join in raising the amount.

;RRED ANNUITIES.

Ry the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

SPANISH BEAUTY.

" The traveller, if he has indulged in eaggerated
notions of Spanish beauty, will here be taught in what
it consists. Probably his fioal impression will be one of
disappointment; and even ho who has drawn in his
imagination a lass glowing picture of its charms will
find the reality fall short of his ideal sketch. If he has
kept out the pure red and white, and the eye of heavenly
blue, that mock the beauty of a northern sky, he has
judged rightly; but after supplying their place with the
pale or dusky cheek of a southern clime, and its eye,
which, whether it be mild or gentle, flashing or languid,
is always dark, be will need to use his pencil with
caution. In truth, the Spanish dame, as regards regu-
larity of feature, and those charms which form beauty
of countenance, must yield the palm to the dames of
other nations; her attractions centre in her dark glossy
hair, and in those eloquent eyes, that unite with an ever-
varying play of expression in making her wondrously fas-
cinating. In beauty of form, however, she reigns alone;
nothing could be more symmetrical or more exquisitely
rounded than the shapes of the Gaditanian belles, as
they glided or floated—anything but walked—through
the mazes of the gay crowd on the promenade. In-
deed the Andalusian grace is proverbial in Spain;
and the traveller must confess that ho has never beheld
elegance of motion until he has stood upon an Andalu-
sian Alameda. What it is can hardly be described by
words; it is beyond the power of language to describe
those slow and surpassingly graceful movements which
accompany every step of the Andaluza."

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.-
A certain remedy for disorders of the Pulmonary Organs—
in Dial
--cultY of Breathing—in Redundancy of Phlegm—in Incipient
Consumption (of which Cough is the most positive indication) they
are of unerring efficacy. In Asthma and in Winter Cough they have
never been known to fail. KFATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are
free from
every deleterious ingredient ; they may, therefore, be
taken at all tinar-s by the most delicate female and by the youngest
child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will
find them invaluable in allaying the hoarseness and irritation inci-
dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in
the production of melodious enunciation.

MARKET NEWs.—(TBIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAN UE-WEDNESDAY
Although our market to-day was but moderately sup-
plied with all kinds of English Wheat, the demand for
that article was in a very depressed state, owing to the
large arrivals from abroad, at almost nominal curren-
cies. Upwards of 18,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come in this week. Fine parcels were mostly held
at full prices; but all other kinds ruled dull in the ex-
mine. The supply of English Barley was small, that
of foreign large, viz , 14.560 quarters. The transac-
tions were wholly in retail, at Monday's quotations.
Malt ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The
show of Oats was on the inert ase. Selected samples
sold at full prices, but damp and inferior qualities were
6rl. lower. Beans, Peas, and Flour very dull. Indian
Corn is lower.

TURKEY.

The Wiener Zeitung has letters from Widdin of
the 4th instant, stating that the Hungarian and Polish
refugees have been transported from Widdin to
Shumla. The first transport consisted of 400 Poles,
who left Widdin on the 30th of October under the
leadership of the ex-General BEM, now MURAT
PASHA, and accompanied by MESSAROS and Count
VAT. On the 31st of October another transport
of 102 Italians took the road to Shumla. 16 rene-
gades, commanded by General STEIN, now l'EnitaD
PASHA, and KMETTI, now KIAMIL PASHA, followed
on the Ist of November, and on the 3d the Mag-
yars left their first place of refuge and cap-
tivity on Ottoman soil. They mustered to the strength
of 320 men, and were led by M. Kossurn in person,
and by M. BALOGH. Count KASIMIR BATTLIYANY,
the two PERCZELS, and M. PRZYJEMSRT, a Pole, and
40 women accompanied M. KOSSUTH'S party. The
Countess BATIHYANT and the ex-Councillor HAY•
MANN followed in Count BATTIIYANT'S carriage.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th and 15th con-
tain no political news of interest, and the proceed-
ings in the Senate were unimportant. It was believed
that the Spanish troops would arrive from Italy
before the end of the year. The Government had
resolved that an electric telegraph should be esta-
blished from Madrid to Aranjuez. The railway
between those two places was about to be opened for
traffic.

Letters from Melilla, in the Madrid journals of the
15th, state that that fortress continued to be attacked
by the Moors, but that the Spaniards had made a
successful sortie, in which, however, they had five
killed and twenty-one wounded.
MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 15.—The Three per Cents.
were done on the 14th at 291 for cash; the Four per
Cents. at 11+ ; the Five per Cents. at 111 ; the Debt
without Interest at 3i; and the Coupons at 61. The
prices of the 15th have not reached us, but a private
letter states that the Three per Cents. closed at 28i
for cash.

SPANISH SOUP AND SPANISH CUSTOM

" Many and various were the dishes handed round,
and though, on the whole, we contrived to make a sub-
stantial meal, there were not a few preparations that
would have driven a Ude or a Soyer frantic. One still
comes across my,memory like a nightmare—it was the
sopa. In it huge copper cauldron, which occupied the
place of a tureen at the bottom of the table, I descried a
thick pasty substance, which, on inquiry, I was told was
the squp ; it was brought to table in this fashion—the
cauldron being the vessel iu which it was boil pd—in
order to be eaten in all its perfection. As far as I could
ascertain, bread sodden in hot oil formed the foundation
of the mess, to which garlic, moreover, lent its odours ;
the surface was garnished with poached eggs resting
upon a stratum of wild asparagus, a vegetable which
those who have once tasted will not speedily forget, the
apples of the Dead Sea being scarcely so bitter. C--
and I were the first to nesupplied with the uninviting com-
pound. As the fumes of it ascended to our nostrils, we
cast rueful looks upon our plates, and at each other,
which could hardly have escaped the notice of our en-
tertainers, had they not been too busily engaged in dis-
patching their own shares. Long before ours disappeared
the majority had been helped twice or thrice to this
dainty, and, in fact, the cauldron was not dismissed
until it was completely emptied. For ourselves, after the
first dose, we escaped pretty well, by alleging, for want
of a better reason, that it was not the costumbre' in
England to be helped twice to soup. There is a won-
derful power in the phrase ' es costumbre,' as the tra-
veller in Spain quickly learns. He finds it, in his way,
sometimes a stumbling-block, sometimes a valuable ally.
Inquire the origin of some popular superstition or usage
of society, and lo es costumbre appears as a satisfac-
tory explanation; or point out how things may be im-
proved, and bow they are managed better or differently
in your own cr other countries, and you have for answer
a quiet shake of the head, with the words ' No es cos-
tumbre aqul.. . . This clinging to the past is un-
questionably a national characteristic, and to it we owe the
tact that Spain is at this day, perhaps, the most interest-
ing country in Europe. Her daily life is, as near as can
be, the same that is painted in the pages of Cervantes
or Lesage: in all that we see or hear we are constantly
reminded of their descriptions; ana though at first it is
difficult to conceive such a thing, we are brought to
conft ss that we behold a state of society such as it ex-
isted 200 years ago; the roads, the ruins, the robbers,
the salons, serenades, piccaroons, compliments, are in
fact altered so little after the lapse of this long period."

CHRISTMAS SUITS
Again the grocers' shops display
Their seasonable fruits ;
And hence 'tis not too soon to say
A word on Christmas suits.
Moses and Son have got a stock
From which you all should buy;
And none can justly make a mock
Of such a prime supply.
You'd find these Christmas suits to be
The best you ever saw ;
Though not obtained expensively,
Like costly suits of law.

The suits on which I weave this rhyme,
Will suit you to a T;
Then purchase one for Christman time,
As hinted at by me.

For Christmas parties you'll require
Superior kind of dress—
Dress nothing short of that attire,
Which comes from M. and S.
May the brief hints which thus I drop
Bring Moses fresh recruits;
Since Moses' Warehouse ranks the top
In selling Christmas suits.

SWITZERLAND.

The Federal Assembly of Switzerland, on the 15th,
discussed the Bill on military organization. Article

1, enacting that every Swiss shall be bound to do
military service, was adopted without discussion • but
article 2, which fixes the age at which a man is liable
to, serve led to a long debate, and it was resolved that
from 17 to 50 every Swiss can be called into military
service.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF A CONVICT.—Be-
twe( n two and three o'clock on Monday afternoon the
guard of a gang of convicts employed under the slip
where the Brisk steam-vessel is building, discovered
that one of the convicts, named Thomas Johnson, was
absent without leave from his gang, and the intelligence
was immediately communicated to the inspectors of po-
lice at the different gates of the dockyard, and constables
sent through the yard in search of him. One of the
constables, on going to the east end of the yard, was
informed that a strange looking man had just been seen
to enter the empty house recently occupied by Dt.
Suther, opposite the saw-mills, and on the constable
following, he heard the person at th 3 top of the stairs,
who proved to be the convict; and the latter, rather
than be taken, forced an iron bar from the window and
dropped from the parapet, a distance of eighteen feet,
into Church-street, and got clear off into the town, no
person ever imagining that he was a convict, as he had
on an excellent pair of canvas trousers, one of the ship-
wright's jackets, which had been taken from the ship-
wright's chest, where it had been clocked up for safety,
and a straw hat. The constable could not peril his life
in :following the convict through the window, but he
communicated what he had witnessed to the inspector at
the main gate ; and a strong party of constables being
sent into the town with the greatest dispatch, police-
constable 306 It, N. Mullins, succeeded in re-capturing
the convict under a bed in a house, No. 34, Mortgramit-
square, and in less than an hour from the time he was
missing the prisoner was safe on board the Warrior
convict-ship, opposite Woolwich Dockyard.
THE HOUSE or LORDS.—The frescoes, which are
just completed, are highly interesting, if only because
they show the degree of perfection attained in an art
which buy a very few years ago was quite new to this
conntry. The colours have all the brilliancy of oil, with
a most delicate finish. Mr. Cope's fresco represents the
story of Gascoigne, and Mr. Maclise has taken for his
subject an allegorical representation of Justice, in which
the arraignment of a primeval murderer is set forth with
great force and a striking simplicity of composition. The
Lear" of Mr. Herbert, which was one of the most re-
markable paintings in the last exhibition of the Royal
Academy, is copied iu fresco by the same artist on the
wall of the " Hull of Poets," as a monument to Shaks-
pere.

RUSSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.

Reports having been current that negotiations for
peace between the Russians and Circassians had been
entered into, the Berlin State Gazette says that this
is true, and that Russia offered to the Circassians to
cede them all the fortresses except those of Anasa and
Surum Rale, and to guarantee their independence,
provided they would recognise the protectorate of
Russia and allow recruits to be levied in their
territories. The Circassians refused these conditions,
and sent five agents to Constantinople to ask for
advice from the Turkish Government. These agents
state that SCHAMYL has sent emissaries to all parts of
Crimea and Tartary to cause a general rising.

SPANISH BEAUTY.

" The traveller, if he has indulged in exaggerated
notions of Spanish beauty, will hr re be taught in what
it consists. Probably his final impression will be one of
disappointment; and even he who has drawn in his
imagination a less glowing pickure of its charms will
find the reality fall short of his ideal sketch. If he has
kept out the pure red and white, and the eye of heavenly
blue, that mock the beauty of a northern sky, he has
judged rightly; but after supplying their place with the
pale or dusky cheek of a southern clime, and its eye,
which, whether it be mild or gentle, flashing cr languid,
is always dark, he will uteri to use his pencil with
caution. In truth, the Spanish dame, as regards regu-
larity of feature, and those charms which form beauty
of countenance, must yield the palm to the dames of
other nations; her attractions centre in her dark glossy
hair, and in those eloquent e 3 es, that unite with an ever-
varying play of expression in making her wondrously fas-
cinating. In beauty of form, however, she reigns alone;
nothing could be more symmetrical or more exquisitely
rounded than the shapts of the Gaditanian belles, as
they glided or floated—anything but walked—through
the mazes of the gay crowd on the promenade. In-
deed the Andalusian grace is proverbial in Spain;
and the traveller must confess that he has never beheld
elegance of motion until he has stood upon an Andalu-
sian Alameda. What it is can hardly be described by
worth; it is beyond the power of language to describe
those slow and surpassingly graceful movements width
accompany every step of the Andaluza."
