A TICKET.OF-LEAVE WOMAN.—Elizabeth Drum-
mond, a ticket-of-leave convict, charged with
violating the conditions of her ticket-of-leave, was
brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, who
oa the first examination expressed a wish that
the case should not be pressed.
Inspector Gee, of the K division, handed a note
to the magistrate from the Commissioners of
Police, and said they did not wish to press the
charge, on the understanding that the prisoner re-
ported herself regularly every month at the station-
house in the division in which she lived.

Mr. Paget said that the prisoner would have
to serve fourteen months' additional imprison-
ment under her sentence of five years' penal
servitude if he sent her back to prison,
which ho certainly must have done if the
inspector had pressed the charge. The prisoner was
indebted to the consideration and mercy of the
Commissioners of Police, and not to him, for he
must have done his duty and sent her back to a
convict prison if the charge had been pressed. lie
hoped the prisoner would seriously ponder
over her situation, and avoid giving offence in
future. She had youth and health on her
side, and must avoid bad company, and
late hours, and, above all, report herself at the
station-house once a month.

The Prisoner—l will, sir. You shall never see
me before you again.

Mr. Paget—Now show your gratitude, and con-
duct yourself properly in future.
The prisoner expressed her thanks to the Corn-
missioners of Police and retired.

MARKETS-7HIS DAY.

CORN.

The trade in every department is dull, and prices
rather weaker.

At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was small and the
inquiry limited.

English wheat in small supply and held for Monday's
arms, but very little demand.

Foreign wheat not pressed for sale, but the tendency
was in favour of buyers.

Barley, beans, and peas, same as on Monday.
Oats in large supply but fair demand, buyers having
occasionally the turn of price in their favour.

Seeds of all kinds dull.
NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Meat.—The dead meat trade is completely altered by
the fine weather for pasturage. Supplies are very light
and prices quite 4d per stone higher. Wo quote beef,
3s 4d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s Gd to 4s 8d; veal, 4s to 48 10d;
pork, 4s to 5s ; lamb, 3s 8d to 4s 4d per stone.

Poultry.—The poultry trade has not varied materially,
Fowls sell cheaply. Irish, is 61 to is 9d ; Essex, 2s to
2s 6d ; Surrey chickens, 2s 6d to 3s ; large fows, 4s 2d to
4s 6d; pigeons, 6d to 91.
Game.—Grouse, 3s 6d to 4s.
Eggs.—French, Gs 6d per 120.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.
Sugar—This market is more freely supported, and
prices rather easier. Floating cargoes rather more in-
quired for.

Coffee.— The demand for good colonial coffee ()outlaws
firm, and the prices are steady.
Rice is dull, but somo small parcels in auction sold at
former rates,

SOUTH-EASTERN.

The directors report that the gross receipts for
the past half year exhibit an increase over the first
half of last year of £12,769 Bs. 11d., while the total
working expenses at the same time show a decrease
of £8,795 Os. 3d., as compared with the correspond-
ing period of 1867. After providing for all out-
goings, as well as dividend and interest on the loan
and preferential capital, there remain £99,097 4s Bd,
but from this sum have been deducted the cost of
repairing the damage to the Charing-cross Station
by fire in February, and the parliamentary costs for
the Fusion Bill of the past session, thus reducing
the available balance to £90,414 7s. Bd. A divi-

dend at the rate of £2 ss. per cent. per annum
would absorb a sum of £85,909, which taken from
the above amount will leave a balance of
£4,504 Bs. Bd. There has been an increase in the
total number of passengers conveyed of 293,625,
and the amount received for their conveyance of
£21,565 Bs. sd. In the merchandise traffic there
has been an increase in the receipts as compared
with the year 1867, of £3,633 3s. 6d., which sum
has been earned at the small increased expenditure
of £157. In the working expenses there has been
a diminution of £8,795 Os. 3d. In the item of
" maintenance" only is there any increase when
compared with the like period of 1867. There is
an increase of local taxation of £1,586 14s. The
diminution in the number of passengers conveyed
by the steam ships, as compared with 1867, is at-
tributable to the opening of the line between Calais
and Boulogne, and to the absence of the Paris
Exhibition traffic. The bill for the working union
of the South-Eastern and Brighton Companies and
of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company was,
as the proprietors are aware, passed in the last ses-
sion of Parliament by the House of Commons, and
read a second time in the House of Lords and it-
fared to a select committee, consisting of Lord
Camoys, Lord Methuen, Lord Vernon, Lord Sid-
mouth, and Lord Penrhyn ; this select committee
(notwithstanding the opposition to the bill on
second reading in their. lordships' house) declared
the preamble proved. Thus the public utility and
advantage of the co-operative union proposed was
fully established from evidence, after opposition
from the districts, corporations, and individuals
affected. But the Lords' committee proposed to
assimilate the maximum tolls on your very costly
railways to those proposed for the Brighton section,
which assimilation your executive advised would cause
a loss of net revenue at the rate of £60,000 a year,
or, in other words, such a reduction of,your dividend

upon the ordinary capital as would have been
equivalent to the giving away or extinction of about
£1,200,000 of that capital. Suffice it here to say
that the very moderate advance of rates on the
South-Eastern does not affect the " Residential"
or periodical and season tickets on the Charing-
cross service, or, in fact, the bulk of the passen-
while the time of all
thege r

extended and a newy
and special service has been established for the

cheers.) He wished to impress upon all who hoard
him the fact that they were now about passing into
a crisis the like of which had not been witnessed in
this country since the days of Oliver Cromwell.
(Cheers.) And it would depend upon the working
men of England whether their country would come
out of the trying crisis with glory or dishonour.
It was useless to deny that the whole country, as
in the days of the Protectorate, was being
formed into two parties, and he felt that they
would be compelled to take one side or the
other. (Hear, hear.) He had read of the mar-
vellous demonstration at the Crystal Palace.
(Laughter.) A demonstration ! —he would call it a
Tory folly and fanaticism. (Cheers.) The pro-
moters of the demonstration wished to make people
believe that they, and they only, were loyal, and
loved their Sovereign. He had always said that the
throne of England rested as much upon the strong
arms of the working man as upon the heads of the
aristocracy. But loyalty to Victoria did not mean
loyalty to a miserable Tory Government—(cheers)
—founded upon a miserable minority. He wished
to caution working men how they would give their
votes. The Tories would tell them they were their
best friends. They would appeal to the Reform
Act. But was that their act 1 (" No, no.")
They would tell the people they carried Catholic
emancipation and the repeal of the corn laws. They
did, but it was when the people themselves de-
manded they should be carried. (Loud cheers.)
The motion was carried, and the proceedings ter-
minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

traffic for the half-year will be £36,014 9s. 6d.
Several hundred houses are being erected at Plais-

THE SOIREE.

The soil* in the noble Gothic Hall of St. Andrew, this
evening, presented a grand appearance, and one which has
never been excelled on any previous occasion. The lofty
interior, hung with fine full-length portraits of Norfolk
worthies and with large pictures, formed a palatial back-
ground to the brilliant crowd. The exhibition of scientific
objects was very small, but as a result there was more
space and more free intercourse amongst the guests.
The novelties were Mr. Chillingworth's model of the
Bright system of tramway carriages for street traffic,
Mr. Ladd's large induction coil, giving 20-inch sparks,
a display of Abyssinian trophies, and the mountain guns and
ammunition by the carriage department of the Woolwich
Arsenal; as also a valuable series of photographs of the results
of the recent iron shield and casemate experiments at
Shoeburyness, amongst which was one sheaving the marvel-
lous endurance of the Millwall shield, practically uninjured
by fourteen shots. Another was that cf the top part of
the Plymouth fort, ruined in seven rounds. The electric
spark from magnesium terminals, seen under the micro-
scope,was also a novelty by Mr. Russell. Bright's tramway is
ingenious. The rails are flat and laid upon the bevel outwards.
The wheels have the inner side bevelled; the remaining
half of the wheel is flat, to run on a common road. When
the wheels are locked the carriage cannot get off the line ;
but to pass ordinary vehicles or obstructions the driver
merely presses down a pedal and withdraws the locking
pin, and then the tramway carriage will move on and off
the line without any jerk, and is easily managed.
Refreshments were served in the long corridor, the
arches of which were prettily illuminated with gas jets.
The band of the Royal Marines played, under the admi-
rable direction of Mr. Winterbottom, a variety of over.
tures and airs.

The president, Dr. Hooker, was present, as also were
Professor Niellson, Father Secchi, and numerous distin-
guished foreigners.

TAFF VALE.

The half-yearly report of the directors of this
railway has been published. It shows a decrease
of revenue up to the 30th of June last to the ex-
tent of £13,947 as against the last half year, but
an increase of £3,503 as against the corresponding
term of the year 1867. This increase will enable
a dividend at the rate of eight-and-a-half per
cent. per annum to be declared upon the Ordi-
nary Stock and "C" Shares, payable on the 7th
of September next, and on tho Preference Stock
No. 1, payable on the Bth October next ; and the
usual sum of £750 to be placed at the credit of the
Depreciation Fund. This will leave a balance of
£849 19s. 7d. to be carried forward to the current
half-year. It is satisfactory to state that the dis-
putes hitherto existing between the Penarth and
Taff Vale Railway Companies have been amicably
adjusted. The leases will be forthwith completed
in accordance with the terms arranged. It was
stated in the last report that the number of bills
in Parliament affecting the interests of the share-
holders were few in contrast with those of previous
half years; and it is gratifying to know that the
company's interest has been fully protected by
satisfactory clauses at a comparatively small ex-
pense. Mr. John Perry, of Bristol, has been ap-
pointed to fulfil the situation on the board in the
place of Mr. Henry Rudhall, deceased ; and Mr. J.
R. Homfray has been appointed a director in the
place of Mr. R. Fothergill, who has resigned through
ill-health.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-

colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-

and that they were all concocted in Madame
Rachel's back parlour. The learned Sergeant
having commented on the other parts of the
speech of the counsel for the defence, concluded
by expressing his firm conviction that justice would
be done, and that their verdict would be in all re-
spects in conformity with the evidence that had
been placed before them. 'The great question for
them to determine was whether the prosecutrix
was a perjured strumpet or the woman at the bar a
fraudulent person.
The Recorder having summed up the evidence,
The jury retired to consider their verdict.
At the hour of going to press (a quarter to 7)
they had not returned into court.

TAFF VALE.

The half-yearly report of the directors of this
railway has been published. It shows a decrease
of revenue up to the 30th of June last to the ex-
tent of £13,947 as against the last half year, but
an increase of £3,503 as against the corresponding
term of the year 1867. This increase will enable
a dividend at the rate of eight-and-a-half per
cent. per annum to be declared upon the Ordi-
nary Stock and "C" Shares, payable on the 7th
of September next, and on the Preference Stock
No. 1, payable on the Bth October next ; and the
usual sum of .£750 to be placed at the credit of the
Depreciation Fund. This will leave a balance of
£849 19s. 7d. to be carried forward to the current
half-year. It is satisfactory to state that the dis-
putes hitherto existing between the Penarth and
Taff Vale Railway Companies have been amicably
adjusted. The leases will be forthwith completed
in accordance with the terms arranged. It was
stated in the last report that the number of bills
in Parliament affecting the interests of the share-
holders were few in contrast with those of previous
half years; and it is gratifying to know that the
company's interest has been fully prwected by
satisfactory clauses at a comparatively small ex-
pense. Mr. John Perry, of Bristol, has been ap-
pointed to fulfil the situation on the board in the
place of Mr. Henry Itudhall, deceased ; and Mr. J.
R. Homfray has been appointed a director in the
place of Mr. It. Fothergill, who has resigned through

filYgnkrous BOMBARDIIitkr- o A
HOUSE. _.

During the past day or two no little commotion has
been produced in Hutchinson-street, out of Baker-street,
West Derby-road, and its immediate neighbourhood, by
an occurrence which, trivial enough in itself, is our
rounded with a perplexing degree of mystery. About two
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the inmates of one of the
houses near the junction in Hutchinson-street with Baker.
street were startled by a stone crashing through a pane of
glass in the kitchen window, which looks out into the
back yard. At first it was thought the stone must have
been thrown by some child, and no particular notice was
taken of the matter ; but presently another missile struck
the window and broke another pane of glass. At short
intervals throughout the rest of the day, up till nearly
eleven o'clock at night, stones, pieces of coal, and other
missiles were thrown at the window, until almost every
pane of glass that it contained had been battered out. The
occupiers of the house, unable themselves to discover the
quarter "rom whence the stones, &c., came, commu-
nicated with the police, and several constables appeared
ipon the scene. They were equally unsuccessful in their
endeavours to discover the author of the mischief. Visits
were paid to several of the neighbouring houses, but
without in any way clearing up the mystery, and
numerous stones were thrown while the officers were
actually standing by the window at which the missiles
were aimed, without their being able to tell from which
direction they came. Yesterday, the bombardment of
the window-- or rather, of the shutters, which had
to be closed—was resumed, though not so con-
tinuously as on the previous day. Half a dozen
detectives were sent up from the police-office in'
the course of the morning, in the hope that they would
pounce upon the offender, but they were obliged to depart
baffled in the object of their visit, and the mystery which
surrounds the affair is not yet cleared up. As might be
expected, all manner of conjectures have been hazarded,
but it is generally believed that some foolish individual,
armed with a catapult or other propulsive weapon, is
gratifying his propensity for mischief in this peculiar
fashion. One singular feature about the affair is, that
although there are numerous other windows equally within
range, only this particular one appears to have been
selected as a mark.—Liverpool Mercury.

terminated. The proceedings were extremely
unanimous, there being only one shareholder pre-
sent.

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PAST MONTH•

October has been an eventful month, from a
meteorological point of view, There have been im-
portant deviations in the temperature ; earthquakes
have visited Ireland and England, and meteors were
frequently observed. Some of these were very
notable ones. Mr. Allnatt, in his monthly letter to
the Times on this subject, calls attention t 3 the various
phenomena. On the 20th, he points out, the
morning temperature registered 28 deg. Both then
and on the 19th hoarfrost covered the ground. On
the other hand, the mean temperature of the
Gth was nearly 58 degrees. The meteors have
caused a great deal of comment. On the night of
the 21st no fewer than seventeen were observed by Mr.
Lucas, of the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford. One
exhibited remarkable peculiarities. At starting it
equalled a star of the first magnitude, and had a
bright white nucleus, 'which changed in its course
to green. On the 7th, too, a magnificent
meteor appeared, about ten minutes before midnight.
"I was unable," write,s Mr. Allnatt, "from my position
of observation at this moment, to see the nucleus,
and in consequence the direction of its path, but the
intensity of the pale blue light it produced, entirely
eclipsing that of the moon, was absolutely startling.
It exactly resembled a vivid and prolonged flash of
sheet lightning. The meteor is supposed to have
fallen somewhere in France." The frosts destroyed
the tender plants and turned the leaves of the
trees.

MARICE 7 8-2 1118 DAY.

In the colonial markets this morning there is no altera-
tion calling for any special report.
CORN.— Since our last report we have had little or
no rain, owing to the high winds now prevailing.
At Liverpool, yesterday, there was a fair attendance,
but the demand was inactive, and last week's currencies
for wheat were with difficulty maintained. Flour was
slow of sale at lower prices. Oats without change.
Beans wore rather firmer. Maize was not quite so
active, but no alteration in quotations can be noticed
as holders are very firm. At the other provincial
markets wheat was quiet, and in order to effect sales
farmers were obliged to accept rather lower prices
Barley is steady, with a good demand and a moderate
supply. Oats scarce and dear. The imperial aver-
ages published this morning give the price of
wheat at 52s lld ; barley, 46s ld ; oats, 28s ;
as compared with last week these prices are 5d per
qr lower for wheat, end lld per qr for oats, while
barley shows a fractional increase of 2d per qr. Com-
pared with average prices of the corresponding week of
last year, wheat is 17s per qr. cheaper, whilst barley is 2s
7d and oats are is 8d per qr. dearer.

is rather more active, but the supplies continues

position both on the Reform and the Irish Church
questions. While he patronised Mr. Beaks he
attended the Conservative demonstration at St.
James's Hall. While he was afraid of disestablish-
ment he withheld his vote. His son, the Hon. Evelyn
Ashley, however, has quite made up his mind. At
a recent meeting at Weymouth he said the disesta-
blishment and the disendowment of the Irish Church
were the first step towards the pacification of
Ireland, and without these all other measures would
