DANGER OF WEARI;7I 10NC7DRESSES. —S. Thomp-
son, a nymph of the pave, was charged before Mr.
Burcham, the sitting magistrate, with committing an
assault upon Mrs. Townsbend and her husband, formerly
an inspector 01 the M division of police.
The evidence of Mr. Towns' nd clearly proved that
on Saturday night he was walking with his wife, when
they accidentally trod upon the defendant's dress, for
which they both made an apology. The defendant
however followed them and made use of the most ob-
scene and disgusting language, and laid hold of his wife
by the shoulder, aid he was obliged to call for the as-
sistance of a policeman, and evan in presence she re-
peated the same filthy expressiotis. Mr. Townsend ad-
mitted that either he or his wife had trodden
on the defendant's dress owing to its extreme length, but
it was purely accidental, and they both apologised, and
were willing to pay for the dainaKe if any had been
done. The defendant said that the prosecutors did not
make any apology, but laughed at her after treading
upon her dress.
Mr. Townsend said that the police-officer heard the
language the defendant had used which was unfit to
repeat.
The defendant denied all Mr. Townsend bad stated,
when the magistrate said that such languago was
unbearable and ought, by some punishment, to be put
an end to. The defendant said she was not in the
habit of making use of such langaage.
The Magistrate said that, as the defendant had been
in custody since Saturday, he would discharge her with
a caution not to do th• Fame acmio.

THE SURREY GARDEIs ti.—The manager of the gardenp,
Mr. Win. Tyler, on Saturday surrendered at the Bank.
ruptcy Court. Protection was granted.

CORN EXCHANGE.

MAK/lila IgEW.— (Mu Day.)

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
well suFplied with wheat, in which only a limited business
was transacted, at 2s to 4s per quarter decline. Barley
sold slowly, at barely late rates ; but oats, beans, and peas
were firm. Flour was dull, and cheaper.
The continental markets have been dull for wheat, but
other grain has continued in request. In the -United
States, prices of grain and flour are giving way.

Full average supplies of English wheat were received up
to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce
were 12,140 quarters of wheat, 1,505 barley, :30,216 oats,
8 peas, 1,040 linseed, 25 mustard seed, 10 sacks and 1,653
barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day
from Essex, Kent, &c., was not to say extensive; yet, as
rather a large supply was on sale from Friday, the show
of samples both red and white was rather extensive
sor the time of year. The general condition of the samples
was good, and many of them weighed 611bs per bushel.
Although the attendance of millers was tolerably good,
the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat ruled
heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday
last of 3s to 5s per quarter.

There was a large show of foreign wheat. Even the
finest qualities were neglected, and prices were next to
nominal. To have forced sales lower rates must have been
submitted to by the holders.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull in sale.

We were very moderately supplied with both English
and foreign barley, which moved off slowly, at barely the
late decline.

Fine malt was dull, but not cheaper. Inferior qualities
ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Very few English oats were on offer ; and the supply
of foreign was only moderate. The oat trade was far from
active, yet last Monday's prices were well supported.
Beans were in short supply, and fair request at hat
week's currency.

Thera was a moderate inquiry for peas at late rates.
The flour trade was dull, and prices had a downward
tendency. Town-made declined to 50s. per sack.

B Editor.
" Dr. Pickford is known toEnglish readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
Limo, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of' ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly esposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those whe tiaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much money ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoca, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

DERBY SMITHFIELD.—Now. 11.

A fair average supply of fat besets to-day,, but the
demand was flat, and some few left unsold. The number
of sheep and lambs was not so large, and low prices was
asked. Fat calves scarce, and maintaining higher prim*
than last week. The supply of fat and store pip was not
so good, but buyers more plentiful.
The following were the quotations :—Beef, 6d to 60;
mutton, 7d to 7id • lamb, —d to Od ; veal, 7'4d tc Id per

A NSW CARTRIDGI FOR SPORTSMBIL-11f.
VOllet,
gunsmith in one of the provincial towns of Franca, ball
invented two kinds of cartridges, one of which produces
DTI
a more certain effect at a short range, by causing tae shot
to expand on issuing from the barrel, while the other
offers the advattage of greater power at a long range.
The chief point of the invention consists ieL a kind,
of conductor, consisting of a tube which is projected
eat of the barrel together with the shot it contains, and
ells down at some distance from the muzzle after having
given the shot its proper direction. A sort of cap, I°'
cured by a double India-rubber string, closes the cart-
ridge. The idea is ingenious and may deserve adoption
after certain practical inconveniences have been re'
moved ; the cap, for instance, is apt to get out of order,
in which case the shot falls out; an evil, we thinks
which may be easily remedied.

GOVERNMENT LETTBR TO TSB BANK

OF BNGLAND.

DOWNING-STREET, 12TH Nov.
GENTLEMEN,
Her Majesty's Government have observed with
great concern the serious consequences which
have ensued from the recent failure of certain
joint-stock banks in England and Scotland, as
well as of certain large mercantile firms, chiefly
connected with the American trade.

The discredit and distrust which have resulted
from these events, and the withdrawal of a
large amount of the paper circulation authorised
by the existing Bank Acts, appear to her Ma-
jesty's Government to render it necessary for
them to inform the Bank of England, that if they
should be unable in the present emergency to
meet the demands for discounts and advances upon
approved securities, without exceeding the limits
of their circulation prescribed by the Act of 1844,
the Government will be prepared to propose to
Parliament, upon its meeting, a Bill of Indemnity
for any excess so issued.
In order to prevent this temporary relaxation
of the law being extended beyond the actual neces-
sities of the occasion, her Majesty's Government
are of opinion that the Bank terms of discount
should not be reduced below their present rate.
Her Majesty's Government reserve, for future
consideration, the appropriation of any profit which
may arise upon issues in excess of the statutory
amount.

Her Majesty's Government are fully impressed
with the importance of maintaining the letter of
the law, even in a time of considerable mercantile
difficulty, but they believe that, for the removal
of apprehensions which have checked the course of
monetary transactions, such a measure as is now
contemplated has become necessary, and they rely
upon the discretion and prudence of the directors
for confining its operation within the strict limits
of the exigencies of the case.

We have, Ato.,
(Signed) PALMERSTON.

of the Bank of England.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

WWI 1..

COE EXCHANGE.
During the present week, as well as perhaps this morn-
ing, the receipts of En glish wheat, coastwise and b 7 laald
carriage, have been on a very moderate scale, and the
show of samples was consequently limited. As the Fren.
Government have issued a decree permitting the export of
native produce, all home-grown wheats were very dull, a ad
lower to sell.
Foreign wheat, from the same cause, ruled heavy in the
extreme, and some qualities were forced on lower to rms.
The fresh imports are over 23,000 quarters.
The arrivals of barley are large, and most kinds alight
have been purchased at a further decline of from is jo 2s
per quarter.
Malt sold heavily, at barely stationary prices.
We had a dull sale for oats.
The supply of wheat was larger, at 6d per cwt. less
money.
Beans, peas, and flour were heavy, at barely stationary
prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts. All
breeds moved off steadily, at full Monday's prices. The
supply of sheep was rather limited, and the mutton trade
ruled firm, at full quotations. The primest old D owns
sold at 5s 4d per Blbs. There was an improved de wand
for calves, at an advance in the currencies realised on Mon-
day of from 2d to fully 4d per 81bs. A few very superior
calves realised 5s 2d per Blbs. Pigs sold steadily, at. full
prices ; but milch cows were very dull.

COLONIAL.

TEA.--The market is more steady, although little busi •
nese was transacted. Common eongou sold for Hid. per
lb. cash, and 12d. per lb. with the usual prompt.
SUGAR.—The market is very dull, and but little is on
offer, the late rates having induced many holders to with-
draw their goods from the market; buyer 3, however, do
not come forward, and prices generally have a downward
tendency. In the relined market there was a limited in-
quiry for brown lumps, but at lower quotations. Fine
quality pieces sold for 46s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Scarcely any business has been done; holders
of Plantation Ceylon refusing to submit to the late decline.
COCOA.—A rather good business was transacted in the
common qualities at a decline of about le. per cwt., but
the superior descriptions realised 4s. to ss. per cwt.
FRUIT.—Very little business has been done, and at pub-
lic sales large quantities have been withdrawn. Valentia
raisins realised 525. to 60s. per cwt., and currants 655. per
cwt., damaged 44e. to 58s. per cwt.
SALTPETRE.—No business of any importance has been
reported, but sales have been pressed, and quotations role
rather lower.
TALLOW.—The market has improved, and prices gene-
rally are higher. P.Y.C. on the spot, 50s. ; all the year,
49e. 6d. to 50s. ; and spring delivery, 51s. per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—A fair business doing. A cargo of
oranges per Hortense, from Fayal, via Bristol, half of
which sent by railway to London, sold by Keeling and
Hunt at public sale at a moderate figure, the fruit
not being matured. Three cargoes Spanish chesnuts
arrived, selling freely, price being favourable for consump-
tion. Messina lemons, received per steamer—colour
against sale.

THE OUTWARD AUSTRALIAN MAIL.—The Royal Mail
Company's steamship Tamar, Captain Jellicoe, left
Southampton yesterday for Alexandria, with the monthly
Australian mail, 73 passengers, a full cargo, specie of
the value of 3,3001., and jewellery of the value of
20,0001. The Tamar also takes out (for India) 14 offi-
cers and 281 rank and file of the 69th Regitneat, tinder
the command of Major Fenwick. The names of th-
officers are as follows :—Captains G. Begot, A. B. Han

THE DANUBE.

A letter from Galatz of the Ist says :—" Mr.
Hattley, the civil engineer attached to the Euro-
pein Commission at Galatz, has visited Bucharest
for the purpose of forwarding his plans of the pro-
posed improvements on the Danube mouths to the
Congress of Paris. He is strong in favour of the
St. George mouth and channel. There is a differ-
ence of expense against this view of some two or
three hundred thousand pounds, a bagatelle in such
a great undertaking. In point of time the works
will take as long to complete at Sulina, as at St.
Ge )rge ; but when completed the St. George is ex-
pected to be a far superior channel. It has
deeper water outside the bar, a superior
channel inside the bar, a ready-made harbour
and site for a free port, and is on the Turkish side
of the river. Sulina'e sole advantage is that its sea
bar is shorter; on the other hand, the river works
are very heavy, a harbour would have to be formed
inside the bar, which would be constantly filling up
with mud, and have to be cleared out at a great
expense every year or two ; aud, worst of all, the
water outside the bar is remarkably shallow in com-
parison. M. Nobling, the well-known German engi-
neer, is in favour of the Sulina branch, and the
commissioners at Galatz are, I fancy pretty hand-
somely
divided on the subject. Russia, Prussia,
and France are for Sulina. • England forS t. George's;
Austria reserved ; and iurkey ignorant."

RUSSIA.

The Gazette du Senat of St. Petersburg pub-
lishes a ukase by which foreigners are henceforth
exempt from the two taxes which they have hitherto
paid in the two capitals of the empire, for the benefit
of the municipality, viz., a duty of one per cent.
which has been charged on the declared capital of
those in business, and a tax of 200 roubles a-year
levied on non-commercial men residing in Russia
for each house or property they may possess in
either city.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 3d, in the
Nord, says :—" The general subject of conversa-
tion here is a fresh reduction, which is said to be in
contemplation, in the number of civil functionaries,
which is very natural, for, notwithstanding the pre-
ceding reductions, the number is still very consider-
able. In 1856 it was 114,017, of whom 82,352
had civil rank, and 31,665 were without rank. The
departments of war and marine are not included in
the above calculation, and their personnel is very
numerous. If is thought, however, that this mea-
sure cannot take place at the present moment, as
various arrangements must be previously made. It
is also said that for the future there will be only
two courts for civil causes instead of three, as
hitherto. All affairs will be first brought before
the tribunal of the district, which will finally
decide all cases where the amount in litigation is
not more than 600 roubles ; cases of higher pecu-
niary importance will go by appeal before the
directing senate. This measure will, however, be
only a partial remedy for the evils which for-
merly existed, but it will be a useful one. The
defects in Russian jurisdiction, however, require
a radical remedy, and it is only when it shall
have been established on solid bases and on
those of rational simplicity, that justice can be
made less expensive and more equitable than it
now is in Russia."
London, England, 1857-11-13

cers and 775 men, under the command of Colonel
Loftus, arrived yesterday at Aldershot.
The 49th East Kent Militia, under Col.. Brock-

MANCHESTER--Nov. 12.

There was a limited attendance this morning, and, in
addition to the depressing circumstances previously exist•
ing, it was announced that the French Government had
come to the determination to permit the export of grain,
&c., altogether causing an almost total suspension of busi-
ness, and prices of wheat and flour were quite nominal;
other articles, at the same time, being obtainable at re-
duced rates.
