MA'aIKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
We had only a limited supply of English wheat in to-
day's market. For most kinds the demand ruled steady,
and Monday's prices were well supported.
The imports of foreign wheat are 12,390 quarters.
Good heavy parcels were in fair request, at full quotations.
In other kinds very little business was transacted.
We had a fair inquiry for barley, at fully late rates.
Malt, however, met a slow sale, on former terms.
The oat trade was less active ; nevertheless, the quota-
tions wei o supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer.

Wo have had a very slow trade to-day, at barely late
rates. Beef from 2s ICd to 4s 6d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 6d ;
veal, 33 10d to 4s 8d ; pork, 33 6d. to 5s 4d per 81bs., by the
carcase.

A PUNCTUATED RETRACTION.—A member of the Eng.
lish Parliament having charged an officer of the Govern-
ment with dishonesty, was required to retractit before
the House of Commons, which he did in the following
words :—" I said he was dishonest, it is true and I
am sorry for it. This was pronounced satisfactory,
but he managed to have the printed report of the trans-
action read thus :—" I said he was dishonest ; it is true,
and I am sorry for it.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about G per mille premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.22& per 11. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of Si. 178. 101 d. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
4-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.34 per 11. ster-
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there-
fore about 1-10th per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in
London. The course of exchange at New York on
London for bills at GO days' sight is 109 per cent.,
which, when compared with the Mint par between the

PRUSSIA.

A. letter from Berlin, of the 29th ult., says :
"The King, in delivering his speech, was visibly
affected at the part which referred to Neuchatel,
and his emotion gained the assembly. On two
occasions bravoes broke out, and when the King
made an appeal to the people to defend the honour
of the Crown, hurrahs four times repeated. When
the minister president, in conformity with the
order of the King, had declared the session to be
opened, his Majesty left the chamber amidst the
acclamations of the assembly. The members of
the Diet were afterwards individually presented to
their Majesties in the picture gallery, and were
then entertained at breakfast. The chambers
subsequently assembled. In the Chamber of
Nobles, Prince Hohenlohe Ingelfingen was elected
president by 89 votes out of 90. In the Lower
Chamber, where 235 out of 350 members were
present, committees were formed to examine into
the validity of the newly-elected members, and the
election of president was postponed to the ensuing
Monday."
M. de Bismark-Schonhausen, the Prussian re-
presentative at the Diet of Frankfort, arrived at
Berlin on the 29th ult.

BELGIUM•
The following is the text of the reply of the King
of the Belgians to the address of the Chamber of
Representatives, in reply to the speech from the
throne :

" Gentlemen,—lt is most agreeable to me to receive
the sincere testimony of the sentiments of affectionate
confidence which you have just expressed to me, in the
Dams of the Chamber of Representatives. The tabours
of this important session have been worthily inaugu-
rated. Your intelligent patriotism will know how to
second the efforts of my government, with the view of
assuring the regular development of the moral and
material welfare of the nation."
London, England, 1856-12-03

LIVERPOOL-- DEC. 2.

A firm feeling has pervaded the wheat tit:de during the
week This morning there was a goodly attendance, and
fair business was done in wheat, at an advance of ld per
bushel on useful American re.l. White wheat no dearer.
G iod marks of b trrel flour commanded extreme rates—
sack flour not so free of sale. Indian corn was unaltered
in value ; there were buyers at a small concession in price.
Oats and oatmeal firm, at recent quotations. Barley,
beans, and peas unchanged.
London, England, 1856-12-03

SARDINIA.

A letter from Turin of the 27th, in the constitu-
tionnel, says :—" Much attention has been excited
hero by the precipitate journey to this city of the
Marquis do Villamarina, Sardinian minister at the
Court of Paris. It appears that his object was to
have precise instructions, in case a coolness
between the Western Powers should make any
change in the relations which bind the Sardinian
Court to those two Powers." The same letter adds
—" The Communal Council of Genoa is still obsti-
nate in its opposition to the Government. The
Council has just decided that instead of paying to
the Finance Department 806,000 f. for octroi duties
it will only pay 90,000 f., a sum corresponding to
what is really obtained from the octroi of the city.
This decision has produced a great sensation, par-
ticularly as it is thought that the example will be
followed by other communes.
London, England, 1856-12-03

SPAIN.

The Madrid j ours als of the 28th ult. have arrived:
M. Rios Rosas had resigned the post of member of

the Royal Council. The Gazette, says that the
accounts which some of the journals give of mea-
sures relative to the army aro unfounded, and that
to avoid errors in future they would do well to wait
until the measures of the government shall have
been officially announced. The Queen had presented
a magnificent mantle of white velvet and gold to the
miraculous image of Our Lady of Montserrat, which
is held in peculiar veneration by the Catalonians.

MISCELLANEOUS.

T Eclectic Review has several subjects of
generalhe interest. The first article is on the
romantic history of Torquato Tasso, and is followed
by a criticism, not altogether favourable, on Mr.
Meadow's recent work on China. Scientific readers
will be attracted by a paper on " Zoology," while
politics find a place in an article on " Austrian
Secret Memoirs." The number is more than usually
successful.—The Monthly Review is a new candi-
date for public favour. It is almost entirely de-
voted to criticism, which is very sensible and
moderate in its tone. Among the recent works
which are noticed in this first number are Mrs.
London, England, 1856-12-03

Bcowniug's " Aurora Leigh," and Gerald Massey's
" Craigrook Castle." A " French History of Eng-
land" also furnishes the subject of an interesting
article ; and a criticism on Miss Sewell's new work
of " Tvors" is full of good sense and kindly appre-
ciation. The 1% ational Magazine has several
pleasing and we`'-written articles, but it is
cklicic,nt in that Etril;:inLf ami ~1,iii;.,1 i,j:3;le of
composition that could qualify it for a place
among first-clas3 serials. The Churchman's
Magazine has its usual supply of theological articles.
The Church intelligence has an account of the
recent elections of bishops. Le .collet is, as usual,
very successful in its illustrations, and very indif-
ferent in its literary department. Charles Knight's
popular publications maintain their character. The
present number chronicles the short but exciting
, reign of Ricbaid 111., ending -with the battle of
Bosworth Field. The Cyclopcedia of Biography
concludes the letter H, completes I, and carries
J down to Jussieu, the French botanist. It is to
be regretted that the compiler should have intro-
duced the history of our. Saviour into a work of
this kind. The Commercial Travellers' i.Vagazine
is a new serial, not very brilliant sr attractive.

The Art Journal is, as usual, a repository
of criticism and useful suggestion on matters of
art, as well as an exponent of the claims of artists,
past and present. '1 he principal illustrations con-
sist of engravings of Van Dyck's " Three Children
of Charles I." and Hering's " Capri," both
pictures in the Royal Collection, and Debay's
" The First Cradle," a group of sculpture.-
-Newton's London Journal continues to record
the progress of invention as applied to the arts, and
maintains its title to be accounted a journal of the
arts and sciences.— Willis's Price Current is not
merely interesting to purchasers as a book cata-
logue, but also as a repository of archzelogical lore,
if on a small scale. Among other things will be
found a reprint of the " ultimum vale," or last fare-
w,ll of the Earl of Stafford, from the original broad
sheet.

Letts' and Co.'s Diary for 1857.
As usual, Messrs Letts' Diaries have made their
appearance in every variety and form, embracing,
if possible, more commercial and general informa-
'ion on all topics necessary and essential to the
" man of business " In fact, no commercial estab-
lishment will be complete in its business transac-
tions without Letts' Diary.

meeting of thil; company was held on Saturday, in
Dublin. The directora' report, which wag unanimously
adopted, showed an It apr •vement in every branch ; the
net revenue for th.s half-year being 5,1431., out of which
a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was drclared, leav-
ing more than 2,000. to be added to the floating balance.
BELFAST AND BALLYMENA BAILWAY. The half-
yearly meeting of the shareholders of this line was held
at Belfast on Friday; the Hon. G. Ilandcock in the chair.
The report gave a very satisfactory account of the state
of the company. It showed the reserve fund to be
nearly 16,0001., and Fropoeed a dividend of 7 per cent.

The Church intelligence has an account of the
recent elections of bishops. Le 1?ollet is, as usual,
very successful in its illustrations, and very indif-
ferent in its literary department. Charles Knight's
popular publications maintain their character. The
present number chronicles the short but exciting
icign of Richard 111., ending with the battle of
Bosworth Field. The Cyclopedia of Biography
concludes the letter H, completes I, and carries
3- down to Jussien, the French botanist. It is to
be regretted that the compiler should have intro-
duced the history of our Saviour into a work of
this kind. 7he Commercial Travellers' Magazine
is a new serial, not very brilliant er attractive.

The Art Journal is, as usual, a repository
of criticism and useful suggestion on matters of
art, as well as an exponent of the claims of artists,
past and present. she principal illustrations con-
sist of engravings of Van Dyck's " Three Children
of Charles I." and Ilering's " Capri," both

-.Newton's London Journal continues to record
the progress of invention as applied to the arts, and
maintains its title to be accounted a journal of the

merely interesting to purchasers as a book cata-
logue, but also as a repository of arebwlogical lore,
if on a small scale. Among other things will be
found a reprint of the " ultimum vale," or last fare-
well of the Earl of Stafford, from tkie original broad

appearance in every variety and form, embracing,
if possible, more commercial and general informa-
+ion on all topics necessary and essential to the
" man of business." In fact, no commercial estab-
lishment will be complete in its business transac-

says :-- arAn icnircnunlanrse
" We have the pleasure to advise a considerable im-
provement in our market for imports during the past
month, a better demand having been experienced than
for some time past, and an advance having been esta-
blished on most articles. Our advices from Shanghai
extend to the 4th inst. (October), and announce also in
that port a better demand for exports."
The same circular states that cotton goods bad ad-
vanced 15c. to 20c. per piece, and that cotton yarns
likewise showed a considerable advance on previous
quotations, chiefly, however, on the higher numbers.
These advices have had an excellent effect on business
in Manehester during yesterday and this morning.
Shirtings of all descriptions suitable for India and China
have advanced lid. per piece, and the entire of the
stocks on hand have been cleared off. In addition to
this, some rather large contracts have been given out.
In printing cloths there is no change, and long cloths,
T cloths, and domestics remain rather flat. There has
been a large business done in yarns for the China mar-
ket, including water twit from 16's to 24's and 30's;
and although a regular advance has not been given,
prices may be quoted about id. above the rates of last
week. There has also been a fair business in hard twist
for the Mediterranean market, at a slight advance, and
the market generally in yarns has derived a little addi-
tional strength from the activity which has thus suddenly
sprung up.
Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co.,
say
was more business doing for a few days past for China
and the East, which has imparted a degree of firmness
to the market. But at present the movement does not
go beyond this iu yarns. For India shirtings, however,
an advance of lid. to 3d. per piece is asked in many cases
on the lowest point of last week. Other descriptions of
goods remain firmly held at former rate., and these
is
more general business doing."

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

A spEcial meeting of this board was held yesterday in
the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in
the chair.
-

THE DEODORISATION OF SEWAGE. •
A deputation from the vestry of St. Pancras, intro.
duced by Mr. Wilkinson, and headed by Mr. Garvey,
presented a memorial calling upon the board to take into
consideration the question of deodorisation before com-
ing to a final decision upon the question as to the out-
falls of the sewage.
On the motion 9f Mr. WILKINSON the memorial was
received.
Mr. BOYSON presented a memorial from the parish of
St. Mary, Newington, deprecating the extension of the
outfall further than necessary to comply with the act of
Parliament.
MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.
The report of the deputation of the board, stating the
result of the conference with the First Commissioner of
her Majesty's Works, &c., on the plans of intercepting
sewers, was considered.
BAZALGETTE'S REPORT ON THE GOVERNMENT
London, England, 1856-12-03

SCHEME.

Tke following report of idr. Bazalgette, the engineer
of the board, upon the points of discharge for the drain-
age of the metropolis, suggested in Capt. Burstall's letter,
and approved by the First Commissioner of her Ma-
jesty's Works, &c , was then read :

" Dec. 1.
" The point and mode of outfalls for the metropolitan
drainage which have been approved by the F►rst Con►-
missioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., marked B* upon

the accompanying map, require an extension of five fur-
longs further eastward, in klornchurch marsh, on the
north side of the Thames, and of one mile in the Erith
marshes, on the south side.
" The outfalls would now be 15 miles below London-
bridge, and it is proposed to c_infiue the periods of dis-
charge from them within 14 hours before high water and
24 hours after high water, with certain exceptions here
atter named, giving a period of 8 hours' storeage and 41
hours of discharge per tide.
" The official return of the quantity of water now sup-
plied by the water companies to the metropolis, which
has just been issued, shows that the supply has increased
from about 7,000,000 to 13,000,000 cubic feet per day
within tne last 6 years, and it is more than probable toat
the quantity of sewage discharged from the sewers has
increased in the same ratio since they were last gauged
in 1853-4. Making therefore a liberal allowance for such
increase, it may now be assumed to have amounted tti
nearly 9,000,000 cubic feet per 24 hours on the north
side of the Townes, and 3,250,000 cubic feeton the south
side. Tuns, the quantity which would now be collected
in the reservoirs during the g hours they were closed
would amount on the north aide to nearly 3,000,000
cubic feet, and on the south side to rather more than

PRUSSIA.

A. letter from Berlin, of the 29th ult., says :
"The King, in delivering- lus speech, was visibly
affected at the part which referred to Neuchatel,
and his emotion gained the assembly. On two
occasions bravoes broke out, and when the King
made an appeal to the people to defend the honour
of the Crown, hurrahs four times repeated. When
the minister president, in conformity with the
order of the King, had declared the session to be
opened, his Majesty left the chamber amidst
rs the
acclamations of the assembly. The memb of
the Diet were afterwards individually presented to
their Majesties in the picture gallery, and wore
then entertained at breakfast. The chambers
subsequently assembled. In the Chamber of
Nobles, Prince Hohenlohe Ingelfingen was elected
president by 89 votes out of 90. In the Lower
Chamber, where 235 oub of 350 members were
present, committees were formed to examine into
the validity of the newly-elected members, and the
election of president was postponed to the ensuing
Monday."
M. de Bismark-Schonhausen, the Prussian re-
presentative at the Diet of Frankfort, arrived at
Berlin on the 29th ult.

BELGIUM.
The following is the text of the repty of the King
of the Belgians to the address of the Chamber of
Representatives, in reply to the speech from the
throne :
" Gentlemen,—lt is most agreeable to me to receive
the sincere testimony of the sentiments of affectionate
confidence which you have just expressed to me, in the
name of the Chamber of Representatives. The labours
of this important session have been worthily inaugu-
rated. Your intelligent patriotism will know how to
second. the efforts of my ,overziment, with the view of
assuring the regular development of the moral and
material welfare of the nation:*

Court of Paris. It appears that his object was to

Court to those two Powers." The same letter adds
—" The Communal Council of Genoa is still obsti-
nate in its oosition to the Covernment. The
Council has just decided that instead of paying to
the Finance Department 80G,00 Of. for octroi duties
it will only pay 90,000 f., a sun' corresponding to
what is really obtained front flu) octroi of the city.
This decision has produced a gx eat sensation, par-
ticularly as it is thought that Vie example will be
followed by other communes.

COAL NEAR LONDON.

The followin letter has been addressed to the
editor of the Times :

Sir,—ln justice to the Brighten Railway Company,
and for the satisfaction of your correspondent Mr. Bur-
nell, I wish to make known that the " mysterious notice
about the discovery of coal" did not " originate from any
use of the information given" by that gentleman ; and,
what is more, my discovery of " coal near London" has
no reference to the place which he has mentioned.
A habit of observing all about me led me during a short
residence in Derbyshire tc notice the peculiar formation
of the country in the coal-bearing districts,—the plants
upon its surface, its soil, and the strata—which last,
however, I am heretic enough to deem the least import-
ant, seeing that a knowledge has generally proved of
small avail to practical purposes, so far as discovery is
concerned, until after the announcement of a discovery
has been made.
Observation led me to study—study to research—
that I might learn whether others had thought of the
same thing before me—and, if so, why they had failed.
Research, thus armed, induced to search, and search to
discovery. I did not, however, begin, like the learned
geologists mentioned by Mr. Burnell, by looking for
coal through a probable I,BAO feet of sandstone, new or
old, but went to a valley where an old watercourse—in
ages gone a river, now a mere brook—had cut through
all sandstone for me—where I had to clap my hand only
under a surface peat to bring out first fine unctuous
ts
clay,
h
then a green mixed clay and sand, then blue clay ;
leads down to the " jacket" and the shale. My
discovery lies within 200 feet of the surface, coal
if not
nearer.

It is, however, not under London, nor even at Black-
heath or Hampstead, where fond tradition still clingi to
its possibility.
I am a practical man, and I can assure your corres-
pondent that I do not intend to make any mystery about
it, but hope soon to have it in my power to give public
proof of it to a general assemblage of reporters round
the pit's mouth ; until when I am, sir, your obedient
servant,

MURDER IN SHREWSBURY.

SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY.
A murder, arising from the use of a knife, was com-
mitted here last night by a young man named John
Hollis, who cohabited. with a woman named Annie
Usher, better known as "Annie Laurie." Hollis has
been in the habit of ill-using Annie, and on more than
one occasion has been brought before the magistrates
and punished.
Last night, about half-past ten o'clock, he went into
the Market-square, where he saw Usher dancing with a
young man named Clewett. He approached her and
abused her for her conduct, He had a knife in his
hand, and attempted to strike her, but he was pre-
vented. The girl then struck Hollis three times, and
a man who was near felled him to the ground. The
girl theri ran away across the Market-square, near the
Plough Inn, where she met a man named Benjamin
Bromley, with whom she stopped to converse. Pre-
sently one or two others joined them, and in the caurse
of a few minutes Hollis joined them, and attempted
to strike the girl, but failing to do so he kicked her,
whereupon she struck him and ran away. Pritchard,
one of the party, now went up to Hollis' and, hold-
ing up his fist, challenged him to fights; but Bromley
stepped forward and cried out, "No ; I have only one
arm like him, and I will fight him." He thereupon
shook his fist in Hollis's face. The latter observing
that two against one was not fair, struck Bromley a
blow in the chest. Bromley reeled and fell into the
gutter, while Hollis immediately ran off.
After Hollis had given the blow it was noticed that
he had a knife in his hand. Bromley, who had ut-
tered no word of exclamation of any sort, was picked
up, and died immediately. He was taken to the in-
firmary, when it was discovered he bad received a
deep wound, about three-quarters of an inch in length,
near the region of the heart.

Information was at once conveyed to the police, who
in about half an hour succeeded in capturing Hollis.
The prisoner Hollis was brought up to-day before
the magistrates. When charged with the murder of
the deceased man, Bromley, he made no reply, nor
was any one present to defend him. He maintained
a calm composure, during the examination of the wit-
nesses, but he nevertheless seemed to feel acutely the
position in which he was placed. He was remanded
until next Tuesday, in order that the evidence against
him may be completed.

An inquest will be held on the deceased, Benjamin
Bromley, to-morrow. He was about 30 years of age,
and obtained a livelihood by fishing and working as
a labourer.
