TEE PARIS EXHIBITION.

Through the active efforts of J. C. DERBY, Esq.,
the United States Agent in New York, the complete
list of all applications for space has been prepared.
It comprises very satisfactory representatives in all
classes, especially, however, in that which relates to
machinery and mechanics. Mr. DERBY is constantly
receiving new applications for space, and it is to be
hoped that time will yet be allowed for the many
important inventions now being offered. A great
impetus has been given to the interest felt in the
Jnited States by the efforts of SAMUEL B. RUGGLES,
Esq., in the Western States, and General BANKS
and P. T. Bauxuxt in New England. The various
State authorities are using creditable exertions, and
large sums have been appropriated specially by the
Western States.

To facilitate emigration, we annex a list of the
Scientific, Honorary, and State Commissioners
furnished us by Colonel NORTON.

MARK -LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was very firm, and an average advance of is to 2s
per quarter took place in prices. The barley trade ruled
somewhat active, and the quotations bad an upward tcu-
dency. Oats, bonus, and peas were steady, at full cur-
rencies. There was a fair demand for flour, at quite late

~On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices are
on the advance. Advices from New York state that the
business doing in wheat and flour for export is very mo-
derate.

The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was
very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good.
Owing to the absence of many Yorkshire buyers, and the
large importation of wheat from the Baltic, the trade was
decidedly quieter than on Monday last. Sales were con-
cluded much less freely, and the recent improvement in the

quotations was supported.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
There was a fair demand for most qt.alities, and prices

ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at full
currencies.
The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Fine parcels
were very firm in price, but medium and inferior produce
moved off slowly at late rates.
There was a moderate demand for malt, at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. Gene-
rally speaking, the demand ruled quiet, but at full prices,
for all good and fine samples of produce.
Beans wore in fair demand, at late rates. The market
was but moderately supplied.
Peas changed hands to a fair extent, and prices ruled
firm.

The flour trade was firm, at late rates
Linseed and rapeseed were dull, and the quotations were
somewhat easier.
Tho demand for other seeds ruled quiet, at late rates.
The Cape trade was firm, and prices had an upward
tendency.

Bramah's and Chubb's Patent Locks.

_
The first patent for a new lock bears date 1774,
by which instrument Robert Barron, of London,
secured to himself the privilege of " constructing
locks in which the security was effected by fixed
wards, with the addition of lifting tumblers or
levers." Such is the merit of Barron's lock that it

is still in great demand, as a secure and serviceable
contrivance, although, since its first production, suc-
cessive inventors have taken out more than one
hundred and twenty patents for novel locks, of
which the most important are those known by the
names of their respective inventors, Bramah, Chubb,
and Hobbs. Joseph Bramah's lock, patented in 1784,
was for more than two generations regarded as a con-
trivance that would baffle the cleverest mechanician
who should venture to pick it. Fur years a specimen
of this beautiful arrangement was exhibited in the
window of Mr. Bramah's shop in Piccadilly, together
with this placard :—" Notice.—The artist who can
make an instrument that will pick or open this lock
will receive 200 guineas the moment it is produced.'
The reward was not claimed till 1851, when an
American mechanician, named Hobbs, who had
been drawn to the English metropolis by the Great
Exhibition, saw the challenge, accepted it, and after
a tough fight that lasted 16 days proved victorious.
The success of Mr. Hobbs not only caused lively ex-
citement in the public mind, but for a time gave his
lock a decided advantage in the market over the de-
feated Bramah, and also over the Chubb, which ex-
cellent lock—originally invented in 1818 by Jere-
miah Chubb, and subsequently improved by Charles
Chubb, Ebenezer Hunter, and John Chubb—
had
for more than thirty years divided public
favour with Bramah's invention. That the
Chubb has not lost its hold on public confidence
may be inferred from the fact that "Messrs.
Chubb and Son manufacture about 30,000 locks
per annum, the cheapest of which is sold at 10s.
net, while many of them are worth from £2 to £3
each." It is almost needless to observe that the
distinctive and most valuable feature of the Chubb
is its detector, i.e., the spring which renders the
bolt immovable as soon as the lock is tried with a
false key. Like Bramah's and Hobbs's locks,
Chubb's locks are made in series, each lock having
its separate key, and the locks of a series obeying
a master-key. " So extensive are the combina-
tions," observes Mr. Tiddesly, " that it would be
quite practicable to make locks for all the doors of
all the houses in Loudon, with a distinct and diffe-
rent key to each lock, and 'yet there should be one
master-key to pass the whole ! A most complete
series' of locks was constructed some years ago by
the late Mr. Chubb for the I'Vestminster Bridewell.
It consists of 1,100 locks, forming one series, with
keys for the master, sub-master, and warders."

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1866.

upon with great respect by the natives around them
for their energy, enterprise, and superior civilisa-
tion. It is their ambition to become " 'Merica
men," as they call the Liberians—to imitate
their customs—and are easily susceptible to
religious impressions and civilising influences.
There is no standing army, but all males be-
tween sixteen and fifty are compelled to serve
in the militia, except clergymen, judges, and a few
other privileged persons. The force is well-drilled,
and has 1,500 muskets,—kindly presented by the
Emperor of the FRENCH. The navy consists of one
vessel,—a schooner of five guns,—and an advice
boat, the steamer Seth Grosvenor. The revenue
for the year ending the 30th September, 1861, was
$149,550 11c. The expenditure for the same period
was $142,831 11c. The import and export duties
are the great sources of income, and amounted to
$44,000. Expenses for Legislature were $1,500 ;
for judiciary, $7,900 ; for salary or civil list, $6,400.
The Liberians have been greatly aided and encou-
raged by the British Government and British
people. The late Duke of SUSSEX, Captain ROSEN-
BERGH, R.N., and Lord BEXLEY were early and
kind friends to the young Republic. Also the names
of THOMAS CLARKSON, Dr. THOMAS HODGKIN, and
SAMUEL GURNEY, are mentioned with gratitude.
Edinburgh also is manifesting great kindness in
educating two most promising young men as medi-
cal missionaries, who, on their return to Liberia,
will spread the benign influences of civilisation and
Christianity over the aboriginal population of the
Republic. JOHN A. CALLENDER, and the Rev. Dr.
JOHNSTON, of Edinburgh, are foremost in encou-
raging these young Liberians. MARTIN FARQUHAR
TUPPER granted a large gold medal to be worn for
one year by the most successful writer, as
essayist, historian, &c. The principal buildings are
of wood, stone, and brick. A great variety of ex-
cellent fish are found in all Liberian rivers. Iron
ore- abounds, but as yet no other useful minerals
have been discovered.

apparent resolve not to forego the advantage which
this position gave him. It may or may not be
necessary for the interests of military discipline that
the Commander-in-Chief should have power to bring
all the influence of his high position to bear upon
the verdicts of courts-martial, even where he is him-
self a party concerned. But in any case it has been
always hitherto assumed that such power would not
be flagrantly abused by any man thought worthy
of such a position.

THAMES.

A DRUNKEN BRUTE.—Samuel Sullivan, an Irish labourer,
was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being
drunk and incapable of taking care of himself.

A police-constable named Ringrose, of the K division,
said that ho found the prisoner with a child, two years old,
which he was swinging by the leg in a manner calculated
to endanger the life of the child. The prisoner was very
drunk and noisy, and for the protection of the man and
the infant he took both to the station-house. The child
was restored to its mother.

Mr. Partridge—Did ho injure the child?
Witness—No, sir ; but the infant was very muchfright-
ened. He swung it about with the head downwards, and
it was in groat danger.
The Prisoner—The child is my own.
Mr. Partridge—ls that any reason you should swing it
about in that dangerous manner ?
The Prisoner—l am very sorry. I hopo you will not
send me to gaol, for I have to appear at the Middlesex
Sessions on the 7th of January.

Mr. Partridge—For what ?
Tho Prisoner—For assaulting a police-constable. I am
bound over to appear at the sessions.

Mr. Partridge—Your conduct has been very disgraceful
indeed. You are fined ss. for being drunk.

GAROTTING.—John Lacey, a young man, was charged
with assaulting and attempting to rob William Kenny, a
labourer.
London, England, 1866-12-24

The complainant, a very respectable man, who was
wearing a large red and white woollen scarf, stated that ho
was passing along the Bow-road last night at half-past 12,
and when nearly opposite the Plough, a roadside public-
house, he met with the prisoner, another young man, and
three women. He was walking very fast, his scarf was
loose about his neck to keep his throat warm, and he did
not anticipate any attack whatever, when all at once the
prisoner cams in front of him and rubbed dust and mud
into his eyes and face. At the same time the others came
iu front of him and pulled his scarf very tightly about his
neck and tried to pull him down. He struggled hard,
called out police, and got away from his assailants, who all
ran away. He pursued the prisoner along the Grove-road
and caught him. Ho was soon assisted by a policeman
and others, and the prisoner was secured. In answer to
Mr. Partridge the witness said his neck was swollen, and
very bad, and that he was not robbed of anything but a
street-door key. His scarf wao pulled very tightly about
his neck.

The prisoner said ho was innocent, and that when the
prosecutor laid hold of him he struck him on the nose and
made it bleed. He was a portmanteau maker by trade.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said that a medical
student and his brother were attacked by garotters in
Russell-street, Stepney, on Friday night. The gentleman
was robbed of his watch and chain. The student's brother,
a lad of 14, was kicked and ill-used by the villains.
Mr. Partridge—l shall remand the prisoner for a week
for inquires to be made' about him.

BOROUGH HOP.

In consequence of the holidays, and almost the ontiro
absence of buyers, business was at a stand still, and prices
were nominal. The imports into London last week con-
sisted of 289 bales from Antwerp, 57 Bremen, 341 Ham-
burg, 69 Ostend, and 109 bales from Rotterdam.

agents for the territories of Dacotah and Idaho have made
arrangements to send 50 Indians, "braves," "squaws,"

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a very scanty show of foreign stock here to-
day, nevertheless the demand for it was heavy on lower
terms.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts wero very limited, whilst those from Ireland and
Scotland wore trifling. Very few buyers wore in attend-
ance, and the demand for all breeds of beasts was heavy,
at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last
of fully 2d per 81b. The top figure was 5s 41 per 81b., and
the general quality of the supply was good. There were
about 350 English, 105 Scotch, and GO Irish beasts in the
market.
London, England, 1866-12-24

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DANGEROUS ASSAULT BY AN AUCTIONEER.—John Acton,
20, Great Queen-street, Drury-lane, auctioneer, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Henry John
Capon, beerhouse keeper, of No. 25, Noel-street, Wardour-
street, and also with breaking a pane of glass of the value
of £2 10s.

Mr. Capon said—On the 21st of December the prisoner
came to my house and asked for half a pint of porter. I
served him, and ho laid down a sovereign. I told him I
had no change, and he drank the beer and left, and after-
wards came back and paid me. At nine o'clock the same
night the prisoner came again with a friend, and the friend
called for a pint cf spiced beer, and asked for it to be boil-
ing; but on its being supplied to him he could not drink
it, and the prisoner, after abusing me, threw the beer
into my face, scalding me and nearly blinding
me, and he then throw a pot at me, and he
took lip a second and threw it with such violence at
me that if I had not stooped to avoid it I would have been
killed, the measure being doubled up, and making an in-
dentation in a door it came in contact with. The prisoner
then broke a pane of glass of the value of 505., and then
he got outside, challenging me to come out and see what
he would do. While my wife was gone for a constable the
prisoner's friend got him away, and I applied for a warrant
and had him apprehended.

A witness said—While getting my supper beer I heard
the prisoner make use of bad language to Mr. Capon, and
then throw the pot of beer in his face and afterwards the
pot at him, and then break the window.

Mrs. Elizabeth Capon, wife of the complainant, said—
Prisoner's friend asked for apint of very hot spiced beer, and
paid for it, and because it was too hot the prisoner called
my husband a thief, and said "I'll throw this into your
face," and he then threw the beer into her husband's
face, and then two measures. She went round the coun-
ter for the purpose of going for a constable, her husband
being blinded at the time, and the prisoner then dashed
his fist through the window, and made off. There had
been a grievance existing before between her husband and
the prisoner, but that had been forgotten.

Tile prisoner—l told the complainant that it was very
shabby of him not to change the sovereign, and that I had
a great mind to throw the beer at him, and he said, "Do
it," and I did so, and he then threw a pot at me, and I threw
one at him. I don't recollect how the window was broken.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had some former malice
against the complainant, and because the complainant did
not change his sovereign his bad spirit had revived again.
It was a bad assault, and the prisoner might have killed
the complainant. He should commit the prisoner for six
weeks for the assault, and order him to pay £2 5s for the
damage and 2s. 6d. fine, or another month. That perhaps
would have the effect of teaching the prisoner that he
must not be so cruel to people.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Alfred Hill was charged before Mr. Alderman Hale with
stealing a goose value 4s. 6d.
Arthur Edwards said that he was employed at a poulte
rer's in Leadenhall Market, and about a quarter past six in
the afternoon of Saturday the prisoner came into a passage
communicating with the shop. He saw the prisoner take
a goose (which was produced) off one of the side coun-
ters, and walk away with it. He followed him and seized
hold of him, and he (prisoner) said that ho was going to
buy the goose. He had no knowledge of him, and ho
gave him in charge.
Police-constable 46, of the City division, said that he
took the prisoner to the station, and ho repeated his state
ment as to his having intended to purchase the goose. lie
gave an address at -5, White-court, George-street, Brick-
lane, Spitalfields, and it was found on inquiry that his
thor was living there, but that he had not lived there
for five years. The prisoner's mother described him as a
hawker. Ile found 2s. 81d. on the prisoner, but nothing
else.

The prisoner, who was not known to the police, said he
was out of employment, and had a wife and child.
Sentence—One month's hard labour.

Benjamin Levitt was charged with stealing a barrow.
Police-constable Macqueen said that about half-past 8
o'clock on Saturday evening ho saw the prisoner take a
two-wheeled barrow from the stall of Mr. Miller, in
Leadenhall Market, and he followed him for about 150
yards. He asked the prisoner if the barrow belonged to
hire, and at first he said it did, but afterwards that he hired
it from a person in Spitalfields, but that ho did not know
his name. Ile then took him to the station, and charged
him with having the barrow unlawfully in his possession.
The prisoner gave no address, and said he had been 20
years out of employment. (A laugh.)
The Prisoner—l did not say so. . _

Thomas Saunders said the barrow was the property of
his employer, who hired it quarterly to Mr. Miller. The
barrow had been taken away shortly before for seven or
eight days.

The prisoner said he was going "up Leadenhall-street,
and a man gave the barrow into his charge just before he
he was taken into custody. He bad been at work in
Bush-lane for twelve years, and sometimes in summer
worked at the Fresh Wharf.

The police-constable said that ho had been watching
the prisoner for about three-quarters of an hour in
consequence of a brothel officer having told him that he
saw him handing some canes outside an umbrella-shop in
Gracechurch-street.

It appeared that the prisoner had been tried at the Old
Bailey on a charge of stealing some cloth, but he was
acquit ted.
Alderman Hale said it was evident that the prisoner was
an idle fellow, and sentenced him to two months' bard
labour.

MARKETS.--..This day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday wore but scantily
supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, but at full
quotations. All kinds of spring corn met a dull inquiry,
at previous rates.
On the Continent wheat and most other kinds of pro-
duce have been in moderate request, at about stationary
prices. In America prices continue to give way.
The imparts of grain, &c., into London last week were
38,491 qrs of wheat, 8,817 barley, 55,491 oats, 4,200 rye,
5,365 beans, 9,242 peas, GO tares, 8,569 linseed, 12,520 rape-
seed, 5,303 maize, 15 sundries, and 7,075 sacks of flour.
The old corn Exchange is closed to-day, but the new
Exchange is open, contrary to expectation.
The supply of English wheat was trifling in the extreme,
and, as very few millers were in attendance, the transac-
tions were so trifling that prices were almost nominal.
In foreign wheat scarcely a transaction took place.
Barley was very dull, and, to have forced sales, lower
rates must have been submitted to.

Malt, oats, beans, peas, and flour were very dull, at
nominal currencies.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

NORWICH SATURDAY.
There was a fair supply of wheat at this market to-day,

treme rates of last week were fully supported, and in a few
instances exceeded. A liberal supply of barley, and for
malting late prices wore maintained. Little doing in other
articles.

than heretofore.
