CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor --C. MORTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fair average supplies of wheat were on sale in most.of
the country markets held on Saturday, and the demand for
kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. There was, how.
ever, a fair inquiry for fine barley, at full quotations ; but
inferior parcels were very dull. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour were a slow sale.

The French markets have become somewhat firmer for
wheat, but the demand for all other articles has continued
inactive. In the United States both wheat and flour have
sold on easier terms.

Full average supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The arrivals from
abroad were liberal, viz., 30,027 qrs. of wheat, 27,699
barley, 34,069 oats, 2,200 rye, 9,149 beans, 2,114 peas,
1,008 tares, 42,542 linseed, 16,721 rapeseed, 11,277 sundry
seeds, 1,503 sacks and 5,468 barrels of flour.

The arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning from Essex,
were rather limited—from Kent, only moderate; conse-
quently, the show of samples was rather limited. Com-
pared with. Monday last, there was rather more firmness in
the trade, and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at
that day's decline in the quotations. The trade, however,
was far from active, and the condition of the samples was
by no means first rate.

There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. A few selected samples were taken, at the extreme
rates of this day sen'night ; but so little was doing in other
kinds that the quotations were almost nominal.

Floating cargoes of grain changed hands slowly, on
former terms.

The supplies of barley were seasonably extensive, and
the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's
currency, to fully is per quarter decline.
Although the show of malt was only moderate, the de-
mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's quota-
tions.

Oats, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly,
but we have no change to notice in value.
We had a dull sale for beans, at barely late rates.
In peas only a limited business was transacted, at prices
barely equal to Monday last.

The flour trade was quiet, on former terms.

IMPORTS.

Cotton Piece Goods—A fair amount of business has, not-
withstanding the Deewalleo holidays, been transacted in
our import market during the fornight ; and in most in-
stances the prices have advanced. Gray shirtings, 45 inches,
are most in favour ; gray longcloths, gray T cloths, and
gray madapollams have participated in the general im-
provement.
Bleached and Fancy Goods.—Bleached madapollams are
-dull and not inquired for ; bleached jaconets, low and
medium, continue unchanged ;land bleaching shirting are
scarce and in good inquiry. Fancy and Turkey red goods
have not improved, and stocks in the market are increasing.
Lappet scarfs, small size, are scarce, and in moderate
inquiry.
Cotton Yarns.—Both mule and water have advanced in
price, the former being in active inquiry. There has been
little doing in coloured yarns.
Metals.—The prices have generally given way, and the
market is dull. Tile copper and nail rod, round, have ad-
vanced in prices, and are in good demand.

MISCELLANEOUS MAGAGINES.

The Eclectic Review has an interesting paper on
Dante, giving a sketch of his career, and numerous
extracts from translations of his poems, which will
be very attractive to those who are unacquainted.
with the works of this great master of song. " Fiji
and the Fijians" gives a melancholy picture of the
dapths human nature can sink to when wire-
restrained by religion and civilisation. Mr.
Helps's volume, " Oulita, the Serf," receives a dis-
criminating criticism, and M. Quatrefage's
" Rambles of a Naturalist" are also noticed. This
magazine has passed into new hands, and will
commence a new and improired series next month,
under the title of The Eclectic. It will be increased
in size without alteration of price, and while still
maintaining its nonconforming opininons, will be
calculated to interest a large circle of readers from
its greater variety and animation.—th.titan
has
scarcely so attractive as usual this
a little too much of the vexed questions of the day
—the Confessional and the French police. Still
there is always something to repay the reader for
its perusal, and the plan of givin extracts,from
the new books at the conclusion is an excellent
one.—Newton's London Journal contains its
usual account of the recent patents and reports
of institutions. The introductory article is
devoted to the consideration of the present state
and prospects of decorative art. Le Folic' has
several pretty plates of fashions in the warm wraps
and bright colours suitable to this winter season.
The national Magazine has a variety
of pleasant
papers, and is more generally attractive than usual.
The curious story of " Miles Cassidy's Contract" is
.6
continued in characteristic style. Black and
Grey" gives a pleasing account of the old traditions
of Nixes and Undines. We are sorry we cannot
accord the same approval to the engravings as to
the writings.

ANOTHER FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.—
On Saturday morning Air. Payne, the coroner, received in-
formation of the death of William Newton' aged 38 years, a
man who resided: in Butler's-buildings, East Smithfield,
under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the
deceased and a ship carpenter, named Wells, had a quarrel
on beard a brig from Greenock, lying off the Customhouse,
when blows were exchanged, and a terrific encounter ensued.
The deceased, who was the worse for liquor, was evidently
the weakest man, and Wells either knocked him or threw
him into the river. He was taken out in a state of insen-
sibility, and conveyed to the receiving-house at Billingsgate,
where medical assistonce was sent for. A surgeon, who
prmptly attended. advised his immediate removal to Guy's
tiospital, but death shortly terminated his sufferings. The
deceased, on being stripped, presented a most frightful ap-
?earance, being completely black and blue.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fair average supplies of wheat were on sale in most of
the country markets held on Saturday, and the demand for
kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. There was, how-
ever, a fair inquiry for fine barley, at full quotations ; but
inferior parcels were very dull. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour were a slow sale.

The French markets have become somewhat firmer for
wheat, but the demand for all other articles has continued
inactive. In the United States both wheat and flour have
sold on easier terms.

Full average supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The arrivals from
abroad were liberal, viz., 30,027 qrs. of wheat, 27,699
barley, 34,069 oats, 2,200 rye, 9,149 beans, 2,114 peas,
1,008 tares, 42,542 linseed, 16,721 rapeseed, 11,277 sundry
seeds, 1,503 sacks and 5,468 barrels of flour.
The arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning from Essex,
were rather limited—from Kent, only moderate ; conse-
quently, the show of samples was rather limited. Com-
pared with Monday last, there was rather more firmness in
the trade, and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at
that day's decline in the quotations. The trade, however,
was far from active, and the condition of the samples was
by no means first rate.

There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. A few selected samples were taken, at the extreme
rates of this day sen'night ; but so little was doing in other
kinds that the quotations were almost nominal.

Floating cargoes of grain changed hands slowly, on
former terms.

The supplies of barley were seasonably extensive, and
the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's
currency, to fully is per quarter decline.
_ _ _ _

Although the show of malt was only moderate, the de.
viand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's quota.
tions.

Oats, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly,
but we have no change to notice in value.
We had a dull sale for beans, at barely late rates.
In peas only a limited business was transacted, at prices
barely equal to Monday last.
The flour trade was quiet, on former terms.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHOP ROBBERY IN REGENT-STREET.—John Frederick
Stanton and George Haddock, the former a porter and the
latter an old cloth-cleaner, in the employ of Messrs. Swears
and Wells. hosiers, 193, Repent-street, were charged with
stealing 14 silk handkerchiefs and other property from their
employers.

Mr. Henry Finch Swears said that having reason to-sus-
pect the prisoners, owing to several articles being missed
lately, on Saturday night he went on the roof of the shop,
and on looking through the skylight he saw the prisoner
Haddock go behind the counter and take from a drawer the
I handkerchiefs, and then go round the counter again. He
(witness) then went down into the counting-house, and
having procured a constable Haddock was taxed with having
taken the handkerchiefs, but denied it. On going down
into a vault where Stanton was employed and saying,
"I think you have been robbing us," he denied it,
but on looking round the handkerchiefs were found
in a box close by him. On Haddock was found a red silk
handkerchief, which he said he bought for 2s. 6d., but the
trade price was more, and from the fact that it had been
hemmed by a woman, and that they had some like it in
stock, he believed it had been stolen from their shop.
Police-constable 98 C said on going to Stanton's lodgings,
York-street, Westminster, he found a letter rack, some
gloves, and a piece of carpeting.

The first witness identified the property, especially the
gloves, which were their own make, as that of the firm.
Haddock said he was not guilty. Stanton said one of
the handkerchiefs was given to him by a person employed
by the firm. The gloves were swept out with rubbish, and
the letter rack he thought was of no use.
The prisoners were then committed for trial.

" PROCLAMATION.

" BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL
OF INDIA.

" Foreign Department, Allahabad, Nov. 1

" Her Majesty the Queen having declared that
it is her gracious pleasure to take upon herself the
government of the British territories in India, the
Viceroy and Governor-General hereby notifies that
from this day all acts of the Government of India
will be done in the name of the Queen alone.

"From this day all men of every race and class
who, under the administration of the Hon. East
India Company have joined to uphold the honour
and power of England, will be the servants of the
Queen alone.

"The Governor-General summons them, one and
all, each in his degree, and according to his oppor-
tunity, and with his whole heart and strength, to
aid in fulfilling the gracious will and pleasure of
the. Queen, as set forth in her Royal Proclamation.
" From the many millions of her Majesty's na-
tive subjects in India, the Governor• General will
now, and at all times, exact a loyal obedience to
the call which, in words full of benevolence and
mercy, their Sovereign has made upon their allegi-
ance:and faithfulness.

"By order of the Right Hon. the Governor.
General of India, G. F. EDMONSTONE,

" Secretary to the Government of India, with
the Governor-General."

We offer pardon and oblivion of the past to the
actors in the tragedy of 1857; but some of the more
malignant among these are still braving our anger

however, 1 am happy to say the übellion is at-last
on the eve of being extinguished. Tantia Topee,
with all his talent for running, has been brought

Cure of Strictures of tfic Urethra.

" This work is the production, of a surgeon, whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded, demonstrating his success and
explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

bales have changed hands, have been brought to a close.
Throughout, the biddiiigs were active, and prices advanced
