"IL R. ISHERWOOD, Chairman of the
(( t, Spanish Passive Committee.
-1-0 the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, her Majesty's
First Minister for Foreign Affairs."
A long report has been received from Mr. C. J.
f„,PPlehy, the creditors' representative, on the affairs
the Blakely Ordnance Company, but it appears
t4hat no great progress has been made in the liqui-
en in consequence of the position assumed by
catiaPtaln Blakely. The total estimated assets of
the company are about £84,525.
tessrs. Frohling and Goschen have given notice
that
the coupons of the United Danubian Principa-
lities Eight per Cent. Loan of 1867, due Ist
t",asuary, 1868, and the bonds drawn for redemp-
itl)", will be paid at their offices, 12, Austin-friars,
that date, and on any subsequent Monday, Tues-
uaY, Thursday, or Friday.
Messrs, Helmuth and Schwartz, in their wool
Price current, state as follows:—" The annexed
quantities have up to date been offered in our
141blie sales of wool, which commenced on Nov. 14,
12,494 bales Sydney, 9,316 bales New Zealand
b'',ll bales Port Phillip, 28,038 bales Cape, 2,081
ales Adelaide, 1,006 bales Van Diemen's Land, 920
bales t'lluaties ; total, 63,766 bales. The sale room is
better attenoed than during the first week, and there
rs increased spirit in the bidding. While at first the
home trade were almost the only buyers of conse-
(till:lice, the Continent now appears also waling to
e a fair share of the quantities offered. 4,
number of buyers have coma over, and their
13ir"enne accounts in part for the increased anima-
'c'tl• Prices for some descriptions, such as Cape
!tease and Sydney scoured, are fd. to Id. higher,
thlld altogether wools cannot be bought quite so
eaP as on the first few nights of the sales. I now
o„
4;°te Australian 'combing wools rather easier than
September; all other descriptions ld. to lid

41Pith regard to the Manchester markets Messrs.
and Co. state as follows :—"We have had
Crevery
dull market during the past week and in-
eased anxiety on the part of producers to effect
ea, Which have led to a further reduction in prices,
13hr•ab013 id. per lb. on yarns and 3d. per piece on
lrting6 As, however, these concessions fail to
effect the desired object, it is scarcely possible, from
Nei! e.
transactions reported, to name the exact
Nei!". Buyers, guided by the lower prices of
12,e11 in America and weaker condition of the
til'4Lern market, look for a more favourable oppor-
,rniLtY to make purchases."

During the past week there has been a manifestly
growing disposition in the London Market to invest
in American Securities, which, coupled with the
steady decline in gold, enhanced quotations until
to-day, when a reaction set in on the feeling that
the heads of the President's Message, as advised
by telegraph, were not as satisfactory as had been
anticipated. United States 5-20 Bonds (1862),
which had advanced yesterday to 714, declined
to-day to 71k, but have rallied again and close at
714 to k, and the 1865 issue 701 to For Illinois
Shares there has been a strong demand all the
week, and we have to note a rise of $4-viz., to 89!
to 904, at which they are very firm. Eries, on the
other hands at 474 to 481, exhibit no change,
Good Railroad Mortgage Bonds have been more
inquired for. Atlantic and Great Western Deben-
tures are 21k to 22k, and the Consolidated Bonds

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING DECEMBER 4, 1867.

T FIE CAB QUES TION.

_._.~-__

DEPUTATION TO THE HOME SECRE-
TARY—('I'ms Dar.)

This morning the deputation appointed at the
meeting held last night at Exeter attended
at Whitehall, to request the Home Secretary to
reconsider the obnoxious claims of the Metropolitan
Streets Regulation Act, as regarded the cab pro-
prietors, more particularly with respect to the lamp,
and to solicit a suspension of the act, until a full
inquiry into the effect of its operation was made.
Tho deputation, which was accompanied by
Lord Elcho, Sir G. Bowyer, Alderman Salomons,
Mr. Gower, chairman of . the meeting, and Mr.
Fry, solicitor, consisted, on the part of the masters,
of Messrs. Godschalk, Cochrane, Wellbeloved, Case,
Boulding, and Crocker, secretary ; and for the
drivers, Messrs. George FAnith, Pearce and Sellers.
The recognised reporters from most of the
daily and evening papers attended, and, on
their following the deputation up-stairs Lord
Elcho met them on the lauding, and informed them
that the interview between the deputation and
the Home Secretary was private, and that, there-
fore, they could not be admitted.

One of the gentlemen told his lordship it was an
important public matter, and he could see no rea-
sonable objection to its being reported.
Lord ELCIIO said it was a private meeting
that he had been to hundreds of deputations to the
Home-office, and had never seen a reporter present.
The REPORTER said he had been to a great num-
ber of deputations at the Home-office and other
places, and no objection had.ever been made to his
presence.

Lord ELCHO said there was one authorised re-
porter, who obtained all the information at the
Home-office, and he sent it round to the whole of
the newspapers.
The Home-Office messenger then told the re-
porters that they must retire, but before they did so

Lord ELCIIO said the result of the interview would
be communicated to them if they chose to wait.
After waiting nearly au hour in the hall, in com-
pany with the door-keepers, messengers, and police-
men, the representatives of the press were informed
of the result of the interview, in accordance with
the promise of his lordship.
The deputation were introduced by Lord Elcho,
who informed the Home Secretary of the meeting
which was held last night, and at which nearly 7,000
persons, connected with the cab trade, attended,
and the universal feeling of the meeting was against
the me of lamps, not so much from the expense as
thl heavy fine which was to ba inflicted
if the lamps were not kept burning.
_ . .

Mr. GowEtt said the object of the memorial was
to obtain a repeal' of the two obnoxious clauses
which were so generally objected to.
Sir G. BowYER reminded the Home Secretary
that the question did not interest the cab interest
solely, because if any oppressive cuactment was
forced upon the men the public would certainly feel
the inconvenience.

The HonE SECRETARY informed the deputation
that with respect to the reduction of the duty that
was a question upon which they must see the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, as he had nothing to do
with that. With respect to the other matters, he
would see Lord Derby with the view of getting
some amendment inserted iu the Bill for the
Amendment 'of the Street& Act, which was
now before the House of Lords. With respect to
the question of lamps, he was perfectly willing that
a select committee should be appointed to inquire
into the whole of the general laws affecting hackney

carriages.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

SIMPSON V. DUCIE.-ACTION AGAINST A PUBLICAN.

One of the deputation here said the Hansoms
would, of their own voluntary act, place lamps on
their cabs that evening.

This was an action to recover compensation in
damages for an alleged false imprisonment. The
defendant pleaded not guilty, and also justification.
Mr. E. P. Wood appeared for the plaintiff, and
➢lr. Philbrik for the defendant.

It appeared that the defendant was a publican,
and tint he occupied the tavern known as the Duke
of York, in the Vauxhall-bridge-road. Some
months ago, on one Saturday evening, a disturb-
ance took place in the tavern, and the plaintiff got
mixed up in it and was given into custody by the
defendant, and detained at the station an hour
and a half. He was then bailed, and came up
before the magistrate on the following Monday,
but the prosecutor did not appear, and he was dis-
charged from this short term of imprisonment for
which he was now endeavouring to recover com-
pensation. The plaintiff described himself as
having merely been a spectator of the affray, and
that he was entirely innocent of any participation
in it. The defendant and his witnesses, especially
a man named Donaldson, who described himself as
a costermonger, a vendor of baked potatoes, coke,
and coal, stated that the plaintiff interfered with the
landlord while he was ejecting a quarrelsome cus-
tomer, pushed him against some hoardings, and
requested him not to meddle in other people's busi-
ness, used very foul and abusive language, and for
this he was given into custody.
The policeman who took the charge stated that
when he first saw the parties they had hold of each
others collar.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages, one farthing.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE CAB QUESTION.---CHARGES AGAINST CAB-
MEN.—George Smith, a cab driver, badge 3,560,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in
a disorderly manner, and attempting to overthrow
the cab of James Buckingham, cab proprietor and
driver, thereby endangering his life.
James Buckingham, proprietor of cab 11,272,
said—About 10 o'clock last night I was going
up Regent-street .on my cab, being engaged,
but having no fare in my cab at the time,
when the prisoner and about 20 or 30 others
came up. and the prisoner said, " Take that
cab home, or I'll throw it over for you, and break
your -- neck." The prisoner then seized me
by the collar, and tried to pull me off my cab, and
then tried to overturn my cab. I then gave him
in custody of a constable who came by.
Pulice-Constable William Thom, 125 A R—l
was in Regent-street last night, and saw the pri-
soner and about 20 or 30 others walking after the
complainant's cab, and I heard the prisoner, at the
top of his voice, say, " Why don't you
take that --- cab home; we will upset
it for you." I saw the prisoner go to the
forepart of the cab and lay hold of the
complainant, and ho came behind and put his arm
upon the hind wheel, as if to throw the cab over, and
I then took him into custody.

Prisoner—l saw the complainant plying for hire,
and all I said was " Take it home."

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Why was the complainant not to
drive?

The HOME SECRETARY said ho thought the placing
of the lamps ought to be loft to the discretion of
the Home Secretary ; however, the putting them on
Hansom cabs would give him time to consider the
whole matter, and, as they were now to be carried
by Hansoms, he should not deem it necessary to
issue any regulations on the subject until something
definite had been decided upon.
The deputation then retired, and it was under-
stood that, as regards the cabs this evening, all
would go on in the usual manner.

Prisoner—That's right enough, but he had no
Stamp-office plate.
Isaac Powell, a cab proprietor, said—l was walk-
ing up Regent-street last night, with the prisoner
and two others, when I heard the complainant say
" Cab, sir," and I said, " Yo, take it home,"
the reason why I said so being that he had only
a chalk number ou his cab.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—You were, in fact, enforcing the
act of Parliament.

PI RKETS—(This Day.)

MARK LANE.

Witness—Yes. The complainant had no plate
oa his cab. The complainant said—" Lock that
man up," and the constable came up and did so.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner never take hold
of the complainant ?

Wituess—Not at all.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the priscmer 405., or 14 days.
William Reed, badge 9,259, was next charged
with a similar offence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him to find bail in £lO to
keep the peace fur three months.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat have only been limited, but the importation
of foreign wheat have been on a fair average scale. For
.11 qualities of English the demand was very inactive on
Monday's reduced rates.
In foreign a small retail business was concluded at
barely that day's currency.
Barley was without change in value, but there was a
fair demand for rood malting description.
Malt was dull at stationary prices.
Oats sold steadily at the, late improvement iu the quota-
tion. The show of samples was good.
All descriptions of produce afloat were dull of sale, and
prices had a drooping tendency. Beaus and peas net a
slow sale on former terms. Linseed and rapeseed were
dull. • In agricultural seeds there was very little doing;
cakes wore unaltered in value. The flour trade was vol.:-
heavy at stationary prices.

THE PRESENT AUTUMNAL SESSION.
