London, Monday Evening. The Stock markets have been as well supported as could be expected, considering that to-morrow is the account day, and that the increased value of money has made contaugoes" heavy. The impression that anything like a return to a permanent 4 per cent rate of discount is improbable is gradually being received. In several descriptions of stocks, it is no longer justifiable to invest or to speculate, and consequently the market, in particular securities, is rather heavy. But a low rate is not so much required to encourage a revival of business as a probable permanent one, and that it does not seem unlikely we shall shortly enjoy.

Consols were last quoted to for money, and 89 for the account. New and Reduced Three per Cents, are now SGJ to S7J. Bank of England Stock continues -to be nominally quoted, 245 to 247. India Five per Cents, are 10-43 to 105. India Stock has been dealt in at 219, and India Four per Cents.

Spanish Certificates and Passives are 14 to jj, and 29 to 29J respectively; Turkish Con" solides, 48 to Mexican, 24 to New Granada, ex everything, have been marked 14 and Venezuela Six per Cent, of 18C4, 37f ex div. Brazilian of J.S05 left oil' at 3 to pvem. The market for American Securities has been steadily supported, at prices showing no important variations.

The final quotations arc United States Five-Twenty Bonds, CCif to 07 Illinois Railroad shares, 83.1 to S4 and Erie ditto, 574 to 5S. The new issue of Erie Bonds are now quoted 2 to i prem. In Railway shares, London and JSouth-Western left off at 954 to9G Great Northern, 130 to 131 ditto 148 to 149; Metropolitan, 137. to 13S; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 121 to and Sheffield, 07.J to Bank shares have been firm. In Financial projects there has been a further advance in the shares of Overend, Gurney, and Company, and Credit Mobilier, which closed at 0 to 7 prem, and 5 to prem.

respectively. Of the- new undertakings, Gale's Protected Gunpowder shares are quoted 1 to 2 prem. and Allan's Transatlantic Telegraph li to 2. prem. Mining shares have been steady, with little business.

A great many people, it is said, have been slaughtered. News from the Cape is to the 18th of September. The Basuto war continued, but Moshesh had sued for peace which, judging from the nature of their demands, the Boers do not seem inclined to grant-They want Thaba Bosigo, with all the munitions of war stored therein all the land on their side of the Caledon, 30,000 cattle and 00,000 sheep as compensation 10,000 cattle and 15,000 horses for the expenses of the war, and permission to sot a special watch upon Moshesji's future movements. Peace had not been concluded when the mail left. Excepting as it relates to New Zealand, the news in anticipation of the Overland Mail is not of any great interest.

In two or three pah fights between the colonial troops and the latter have been worsted, but in the south the Paimaririe fanatics having eaten tho-brains of the loyal natives who have fallen under their arms, hold all the important positions.

WEST BROMWICH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. To tlie Editok of the Dailv Post.

Sir, I am very much annoyed to find that many persons at a distance are under the impression that I am the Mr. Hampton who has rendered himself so notorious in connection with the proceedings of the above Board. I beg to say that I am not that person, neither am I in any way connected with him. Yours veiy respectfully, JOHN HAMPTON, Secretary to the West Bromwich Building Society, and a partner in the firm of Hampton and Shaw, Iron Merchants, West Bromwich. 1, Lodge Terrace, West Bromwich, October 14, 1865.

BRITISH TRADE MARKS. COUNTERFEIT- BY GERMAN MANUFACTURERS. To the Editouo the Daily Post. Sir, Some of your- readers are aware that a clause in the recent Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Prussia, which camo into operation on the 1st of July last, gave British subjects the same right to protect then- trade marks in Prussia as the subjects of that country enjoy, but this fact does not seem at present to have received from British manufacturers the attention that it deserves. The value of such a clause in the treaty will be bctter understood by a plain statement of facts in connection with the subject.

It is -generally known that for many years past German manufacturers have been regularly in the habit of counterfeiting the marks, labels, and names of the chief British manufacturers of hardware, and other goods having a high reputation for superior quality and that, without such imitation, tho German manufacturers were unable in some markets to sell their goods. As the best German goods are very inferior to the British in quality, it will be at once understood that by this system a serious injury has been done to the reputation of British manufacturers. Asthereexistednomeansto prevent this course, tho practice became so general that for some years the most respectable wholesale dealers in ah the chief Continental markets have unblushingly kept, in addition to the genuine article, the counterfeit one also, making no mystery of the fact, but telling their customers in many instances that on one side of their store they would find the genuine article and on the other the counterfeit. Unprincipled retailers would regularly buy tho counterfeit goods, and pass them off as gemune, and as the marks, labels, name of firm, colour of paper, and even notices as cautions against counterfeits, were all as closely followed as possible, it was only a real judge of the article who coidd detect the difference. This state of things was bad enough, but lately a far worse state has been brought about by the following means.

The German manufacturers being aware that since the existence of the Now Treaty of commerce between England and France, they could no longer sell their counterfeits in the latter country, foresaw that the tendency of other treaties would shut them also out of other markets. In this position they have adopted the following plan They have taken steps to improve to some extent the quality of their goods, which are, however, still very interior to the British, but to cause buyers to appreciate their own goods, they have put the counterfeit marks, labels, on the most inferior quality thoy could manufacture, in some instances selling them at one sixth the price of the genuine article, so as to prejudice the reputation of the British manufacturer to the greatest possible extent, and put their own names only on the best qualities they could produce. The effect has been just as might be anticipated. In several Continental as well as in all other markets where this system has been pursued, the genuine goods of the most celebrated British makers can scarcely be sold at any price, as confidence in the names and marks is entirely destroyed amongst the consumers, who have been deceived by the German counterfeits the German goods taking the preference, although, in reality, the quality is still quite inferior to the British article. If this state of things is allowed to continue for a few years longer, a most serious and permanent injury will be done to the reputation of British manufactures all the important markets of the world, and the residfc must inevitably be a great loss of the trade to Great Britain, and a deadly blow to her pre-eminence as a manufacturing country.

My object, sir, drawing your attention to this state of things, is to ask your valuable aid in bringing the subject prominently before all your readers who are interested in this important matter, and to beg you to urge them to join a society which is now being established for the purpose of protecting British trade-marks abroad, in order that energetic and well-directed steps may be taken without further delay to check and stop, as far as possible, a system so nefarious, as well as so injurious to the inte rest ot liritisli commerce. The statements I have made can be supported by some of the most eminent mercantile fii-ni3 in Birmingham. I hope shortly to forward to you a prospectus of the society, which is intended to comprise members from all the chief seats of manufacture in Great Britain and Ireland. I am, sir, yours faithfully, MANUFACTURER. To the Editor of the Daily Post.

Sir, I have only to-day, in consequence of my absence from town, seen the statement in your impression of Satm'day that it is my intention to resign the office of Alderman, and seek re-election as Councillor at tho hands of the burgesses. In reply, permit me to say such is not my intention. Having devoted fifteen years to the public service, I feel I may leave myself in the hands of the Council, who best know my exertions to promote the interests of the borough. I am, sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE TURNER. 133, New Street, October 10, 1865.

INSTITUTE CLASSES. To the Eijitok of the Daily Post. Sir, Conscious of the great and good use of the various classes held at our Midland Institute, allow me the favour of suggesting through your columns the establishment of an elementary and advanced Latin class, I feel sure that a class of the above description (under such a master a characterises the masters of the different classes which meet there) would be productive of invaluable service to many others besides myself. Thanking you for the insertion of this letter in your next impression, I am, sir, your obedient servant, JUVENIS. WIFE BEATING v.

MAGISTRATES' CLERKS. To the Editoh of ihe Daily Post. Please allow me a small space in your widely-circulated paper, to place before the public the injustice I have this day received at tho hands of Mr. Hebbert, Magistrates' Clerk, at West Bromwich, Having a married daughter, whose husband (named Alfred Felton, of Swan Village) is in the continual habit of kicking and abusing her, and threatening to kill her, inasmuch as he attempted to carry out his threat! on Thursday night last, by beating her for over an hour, and thinking justice in such a case should be sought at tho hands of the Magistrates, I this morning applied, on her behalf, to Mr. Hebbert's clerk for a summons against him, but was informed by theclerk that neither a summons nor warrant could be granted till either next Tuesday or Thursday, I explained that nly daughter was in danger of her life, which hemet by saying, "TheMagistratesaretoobusy to-day to attend to it." 1 would not have troubled you had mine been an isolatedcase but, being informed that such is of frequent occurrence, I appeal to you to give it publicity through your valuable paper, in the hope that the evil may be remedied.

I am, yours obediently, JOHN BERRY. 15, King Street, Wednesbury. P.S. I forgot to say that three other women were met with the same'rebuff, after waitiag over an hour, A CORRECTION. To the Editor of tin Daily Post, Sir, Allow me to correct an error which appeared in your paper on the 9th, with respect to the verses taken from a copybook MS.

in the Working Men's Exhibition. You say, "Come to the garden bower" is the commencement of one of the minor songs in the poem of What's coming on the earth I beg leave to state that there are no songs whatever in that piece. It is a rhyme of two hundred and ten lines, partly founded on the Prophecies contained in Scripture. The other verso you mention is the commencement of an "Exhibition Hymn," quite apart from "What's coming on the Earth?" altogether. Sorry for thus trespassing on your time, I am, yours respectfully, JOHN MUNRO.

90, Hospital Street, Birmingham. A CAUTION. To the Editok of the Daily Post. Sir, Will yon kindly caution the benevolent of this town against a man who has- had his leg amputated, but falsely states that a further operation is recommended by the Hospital surgeons in order to save his life. He has so obtained relief in all kinds from tho charitably disposed for one or two years, to my knowledge and last week obtained from a lady everything needful to.

be admitted as an in-patient at the General Hospital, and an appointment was made with one of the leading surgeons the next morning to examine his case, and admit him. But he did not appear, as his statement about his- leg would have been proved to be false, and, as may be supposed, he has not presented himself to the lady since. That he has at some time had his leg amputated there is no doubt, but that affords no reason that he should impose on the sympathy of the public by false representations. He is a most plausible vagrant, and will not cease to ply his victims till he is clearly found out. 1 am, sir, yours obeuienlly, A SUFFERER, BOWLEY BEGIS.

The conduct and health of the prisoners had been good, with some exceptions, and the officers had performed their duties efficient ly. James Tomkins, under sentence of six months' imprisonment for an aggravated assault, hung himself in his cell on the July, two days after his admission. The Visiting Justices had considered the memorial of the late Warder Sylvester, and had come to the opinion that that they had no power to recommend that any annuity or sum of money be given to him. The completion of the dark cells and water tank had been contracted for, and the works were progressing. In reply to a letter from Mr.

Waddington, Under Secretary of State, requesting to know the result of then- experience as to the working of the new scale of dietary recommended by Sir George Grey, a report from the governor and surgeon had been forwarded to the Home Office. That report stated that during the nine months the dietary had been in use in the gaol the prisoners generally had been healthy, and had exhibited no appearance of suffering from insufficient food. About an average of sixteen cases per quarter had occurred in wliich it had been found necessary to order additional food, but those were cases in which the prisoners were unhealthy when admitted, or were suffering from ailments which required a more generous treatment. Altogether, they were of opinion that it was sufficient for its purpose, and not more than sufficient. In pursuance of the order of the Court, a schoolmistress had been provisionally appointed, but the Visiting Justices recommended that the confirmation of tho appointment be postponed till the Epiphany Sessions.

The prisoners' earnings for the year had amounted to H07. Is. 2d. comprised of 472. 2s.

3d. profit on manufactory, and 428. 18s. lid. work done for tho county.

The amount paid to the county stock from the manufactory account was 50. more than in any previous year. The daily average number of prisoners during the year ending August, 1865, had been 209, a decrease of 15, as compared with the preceding year. The total number of commitments for the year ending September last, were, for indictable offences, males, 224 females, 65 total, 289; summary convictions, males, 721 females, 158; total S7U altogether 1,168 an increase of 3 over the number committed in the previous year. The cost of provisions during the past quarter had been 231.

13s. showing the weekly average cost per head to be Is. an against 2s. l.Jd. in the corresponding period of last year.

The reduction in the cost of the gaol for tho year, as compared with the previous year, was 219. A conversation followed the reading of tho report, in tho course of which reference was made by Mr. Curtler as to the cost of the gaol. He called attention to the fact that, although the maintenance of prisoners was set down at 1,200. a year, the total cost of the gaol was upwards of 8,000.

That was a great jump, and doubtless some of the larger amount was for repayment of principal and interest on loans, but the salaries alone were nearly 3,000. a year a sum which he thought was very high for keeping in order about 200 prisoners. He hoped that as the necessities of the prisoners decreased the number of officers would be lessened. The Rev. J.

Pearson called the attention of the Court to the fact that an Act of Parliament had been passed, and would shortly come into effect, under which tho present system of industrial labour in gaols would be abolished, and crank, treadwheel, or other hard labour substituted. Seeing that, under the present system, the number of prisoners had decreased, he could but regret that it would soon have to bo changed. Earl Dudley said it would be well that the Visiting Justices of the county should be requested to take the bill into their consideration, and report to the next Court any plan they might think necessary to to be carried out, in order to conform to the enactments of the bill. He therefore moved a resolution to that effect. Sir John Pakington said that, as some of his brother Magistrates had expressed fear as to the wisdom of some of the enactmonts of the bill in question, he thought ii right to state what was within his own knowledge on the subject.

He must say that the Government had shown a most laudable anxiety that tho bill should be well considered, and with a view to make it as free from objection as possible, a select committee was appointed to consider its provisions. He (Sir John) had the honour of being one of that committee, and he must say he never saw a committee so carefully selected, and so anxious to do then- duty in fact the gentlemen appointed were selected with the most single-minded and exclusive reference to their supposed competency to deal with the question. He had never seen a body of gentlemen devote more anxious attention than was devoted by that committee to the bill during the greater part of the session, and if its provisions were defective it was not the fault of the Government. Hear, hear. The Chairman said the remarks of Mr.

Pearson went to the expression of regret that the profitable labour of the prisoners should be lost. Sir John Pakington I think the most profitable return you could get from the gaol would be the correction and punishment of the prisoners. Hear, hear.l The Visiting Justices' report was then received and aclopted, and Sir Henry Lambert appointed to the committee. Mr. Allsopp resigned his seat on the committee, and Mr.

Pakington was appointed to the vacancy. Tho Governor's report stated that the schoolmistress had resigned. A conversation ensued as to the desirability of appointing another. Sir Henry Lambert said that at Shrewsbury, and many other places, the few female prisoners were taught by the matron and considering the salary paid to their matron, he thought that if the present matron would not undertake the work, they should get one who would. Police Committee.

This committee recommended that the Court pay certain claims amounting to nearly made by the borough of Dudley, on condition that Dudley paid a portion of the salary of the inspector that 50. be allowed to the Chief Constable in lien of a railway pass, which had been stopped that the Bromsgrove station be coloured, The report contained other recommendations as to allowances to injured constables, The Rev. G. Gray complained that the whole district between Worcester and his parish, Inkberrow, a distance of ten miles, was entirely without the protection of the police. Ever since the appointment of the police force, Jie had only seen a policeman in the district he referred to about seven or eight times.

The Chairman suggested that the Magistrates of the district should confer, and apply to the Court for such alteration as they thought necessary. The Rev. J. Pearson suggested that the 50. to be allowed the Chief Constable for travelling expenses should be added to his salary instead, so that a return of twenty five per cent, on the 50.

might be obtained from Government. Sir John Pakington supported the view of the Rev. J. Pearson, thinking that the separating salary and allowances to the Chief Constable was for two objects, neither of which was fair or honourable. One was to let tho Government off from paying their fan- share of the expenses, and the other to cut down the retiring allowance of the Chief Constable.

He honed that the Court would not onlv adoot the sug gestion of his rev. friend, but would carry it farther, and consider the whole amount paid to the Chief Constable as salary. The Chairman supported the present system of separating the salary from "the allowance, on tho ground that while salary was fixed, allowances were or might be variable. After some further conversation, the report was adopted. Finance.

The treasurer's statement showed tho receipts for the past quarter to have been 43. 2d. The expenditure during the same period was 3,699. Os. 5d.

The estimate of payments from the 31st of August to the 30th of November, 1S65, was 4,873., and the receipts 5,272., leaving a probable balance in the treasurer's hands on the 30th of November, of 399, The estimate of payments for prisoners between the 30th of November, 1865, and the 2Sth of February, 1866, was 4,599., and the receipts 1,459,, leaving 3,140. to be provided. For this a i'd. rate would produce Tho Lunatic Asylum estimate left 1,194. to be provided by a farthing rate.

The Finance Committee's report explained that the County rate was in excess of that ordered for the corresponding period last year, in consequence of the introduction of two items for laying on gas and fittings to Courts, 350. and for dark cells in gaol, 200. A claim on the County Treasurer, amounting to S0. Is.

According to the recommendations of the committee, a general county rate of in the a Lunatic Asylum rate of and the police rates, as detailed above, were made. Fisheries Act.

On the motion of Mr. T. Curtler, it was resolved, That the Court shaD, by writing, under tho hand of the Chairman, apply to one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, to form into a fishing district (pursuant to the provisions of the Salmon Fisheries Act, 1865) the whole of the River Severn lying in the several counties of Montgomery, Salop, Stafford, Worcester, and Gloucester and also such of the tributaries of the said river as are frequented by salmon, and certain other streams frequented by salmon running into such tributaries." Eckinoton Bridge, vMr. called the attention of the Court to an old bequest which was to bo applied to the repair of the church and the bridges, and the churchwardens expenses. The whole had been applied to the church, and the Court was asked to make a grant for tho repair of the bridge.

The Court declined to make any order in respect of the bridge, and left the subject to the committee. Justices' Clerks' Fees. The Court agreed to an amended scale of Justices' Clerks' fees.

fe-7. remind us of "what has happened in France?" Need he tell us that Spain is yet but dawning into freedom Don't we all know that Italy is "still struggling with the power of Rome that source of despotism, ever adverse to Constitutional, that is, to settled freedom These are the things which trouble the peace of Mr. Newdegate. This terrible influence of "the Man of Sin" oppresses and alarms him. "I fGel," he exclaims, disappointed, and almost angry, with people who tell me that we are fretting ourselves in vain." Fretting ourselves in vain, indeed Why, even at this moment, tho emissaries of Rome are assailing our form of Government." It is true that Mr.

Newdegate has no better ground for his apprehensions than an incoherent article in an obscure Roman Catholic newspaper and he candidly admits that this is the first time he has seen "in any organ in England" a "direct attack upon Parliamentary Government." But a single instance is quite enough for him. Like the gentleman who could not keep King Charles's head out of his memorials," the member for North Warwickshire takes fright at the follies of the Weekly Register, and runs off at score into outcries against the Pope, and the esuits, and GtrY Fawkes, and Mr. Bright, who somehow or other seems to be mysteriously connected with these fearful attacks upon tho Constitution. Of course, when Mr. Newdegate gets to tho Jesuits, it is of no use to follow him.

any further and, therefore, wo need say no more than that he ultimately subsided quietly into the cattle plague, and, by tho oddest of odd conjunctions, suddenly wound up by thanking the constituency for having associated him with Mr. Bromley. Mr. Newdegate having finished, Mr. Bromley took up Ms parable.

As usual, there wasn't much in it. He began with a brace of jokes about the Fenians, and Sir Rouert Peel's portmanteau. Tho Fenians were a perfect god-send to the press, which, but for them, would have had nothing to write about in the dull season. As to Sir Robert Peel, he ought to have carried his portmanteau into Court. Mr.

Bromley feels himself a littlo bit ill-used by the matter having been compromised," for he really wanted to hear more particularly what was the exact language used by the Chief Secretary on that occasion" a piece of curiosity which we dare say Sir Robert Peel will bo quite willing to satisfy when Mr. Bromley applies to him. These little witticisms led up to the serious business." The mention of Fenians in Ireland reminded Mr. Bromley that we have Fenians at home." And then Mr. Bromley made the alarming disclosure that we have some not far removed from our own county." Fortunately they are not quite so blood-thirsty as their Irish namesakes.

They "do not declare that they will murder a certain number of individuals, and upset the existing order of things but, horrible to relate, they are prepared to do something infinitely more dreadful. "They are ben upon making attempts in the dark to stab the Constitution But, let these unhaipy creatures beware. A Bromley has his eye upon them. We have heard his exposure of their nefarious proceedings. Let us listen to his solemn pledge to defeat these machinations am prepared, therefore, as your representative, to pledge mysolf to do all I can to defeat these attempts, and study to preserve that English Constitution which is without a parallel in Europe and in tho history of the world Cheered by this assurance the most timid of Tories need no longer feel the least alarm.

When a Bkomeey undertakes to protect us, who shall dread the insidious assaults of those midnight marauders of our beloved country It is a sublime spectacle a patriot Statesman rising from the contemplation of Sir Robert Peel's portmanteau to a sudden sense of the peril of the Constitution, and solemnly devoting himself upon the altar of his country The imagination refuses to ascend to a higher flight. Henceforth Solihull will be famous in history. As America rejoices in the glory of her "Pooram Defiance," so Warwickshire will for ever cherish the sacrificial dedication of her Bromley. THE MAYORALTY. We learn, with much pleasure, that the prospect of Mr.

Graham's election as the next Mayor, may now be looked upon as converted into sometliing like certainty. A numerous and influential meeting of members of the Council was held yesterday afternoon, including representatives of more than one section of thab body, and the conclusion arrived at, almost unamimouly, was to support the nomination of Mr. Graham. As it is known that Mr. Graham will receive the votes of several gentlemen in addition to those who were represented at the meeting," the chances of any other candidate are considered to be so extremely unpromising that it may be hoped the Council will not be put to tho troublo of a division.

Quarter Sessions. The County Quarter Sessions will be opened in the Shire Hall to-day, before Mr. W. Dickens, chairman, Tho public business will commence at twelve o'clock. Pen Manufacture.

Steel pens for writing were first made in this country by Mr. Wise in 1803. For a considerable time they wore manufactured with flat cheeks, and a patent was taken out for them in this form in 1812. Dr. Vollaston's rhodium pen, and the iridium pen of others, were both flat.

About the year- 1824, Mr. Perry began to make steel pens on an improved plan, and, six years after, they were manufactured in Birmingham, where some of the largest and finest steel pen establishments are now flourishing. At first they were neither good nor cheap Pens very inferior to those we now buy at a a gross, were displayed ostentatiously on cardboard scmares, and sold at half-a-crown a donon. Many large fortunes were made, and numberless patents were taken out. Every possible shape and quality became tlio subject ol a patent, ana not nalt or tnose proposed were ever manufactured.

A pen maker, who was last becoming a millionaire, onco showed a friend a collection of patented pens, which he had never made nor intended to make. I buy the designs and models," lie said, "of the designers. Then I patent them, and put litem to Oca. Tney are well wortn manufacturing indeed, many of them are better than anything in the market but if I were to bring them out, they would only damage the sale of those I am producing by the million, while I should be at the cost of new machinery. So I let them sleep on mid if I do not wake them, no one else, you see, can." This was a trait of commercial policy well deserving consideration in connection with the subject of patents.

London Ilcviiit'. Ladies' Negroes' Friend Society. A meeting of the Ladies' Negroes' Friend Society was held at Mr. W. Middlemore's, on Friday last.

The ladies assembled punctually, and the room was well filled. The minutes of the last meeting were gone over, and an acknowledgment read from the American minister of the society's address of sympathy to Mrs. Lincoln. A circular was also road from tho Abolition Society of Madrid, addressed to the Ladies' Society. An interesting discussion followed.

The Davenport Trick.

Yesterday evening, Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke, "The Davenport Kivals," gave, in ibe Exchange Assembly Koom, New Street, the first of a series of three entertainments, after the fashion of tho Davenport Brothers. Since the American brotherhood visited this country the rope-tying and unloosing trick has become common enough but very few of the gentlemen who, at once discarding the spiritual element, have attempted all the cabinet feats of the Davenports, have succeeded in doing them so cleverly. Certainly amongst the most successful of those who have attempted the complete exposure of the spiritual imposition are the "entlenien who gave their performances in the Assembly lloom, yesterday evening. Of course, dismissing the confederacy of the spirits, they were tied up in the cabinet, played on cornet-a-pistons, rung bells, and did all and every the stock feats of the Davenports, having the flour test implied, and passing through it successfully.

Thero was a liood attendance, and the performances were much itnoiivio.i. on the premises of Mr. Heelcy, Marshall Street, yesterday evening. The fire engines were quickly on the spot, and the fire was extinguished witn very smau u.uiiaao-. mi.

NEWS OF THE DAY. Tho strange disease which in tlio course of two days carried If several members of one household at Epping. last week seems to have subsided. No tresh cases have occurred. It is fitated that the condition of tho foreign cattle which have recently arrived in tho Tyne is as to lead to the belief that tho plague is abating abroad.

Two or three cargoes which came in last week were passed after careful inspection without the condemnation of a single animal. The Vc'i. -iian believes that there is now no dmibt that Mr. Gladstone lias resolved not to allow himself a second time to be re-elected to tho flico of Kector of the University of Edinburgh and that the right hon. gentleman will deliver a valedictory address to the students in the course of November.

A icr.soii said to be a Fenian has been arrested at the tii'st case of tho kind which has recurred in that town. From tho particulars given hi another column, however, it would soem that tie man is as likely to be a mendicant, willing to hfofis anything which would get him a night's as a Fenian. -ilr.

A public meeting has been held at Woodstock, it which it was resolved to petition Parliament to Mr.

The first steel-built ship that has ever been in a storm at sea the Clytemnestra arrived at Liverpool on Saturday. She weathered the Calcutta cyclone in all its fury, was driven into collision with other vessels, both of iron and wood, 'much larger than herself, and afterwards made a Hiyagc to tlio Mauritius, back to Calcutta, and thence home, witli no further repairs to her hull ihan the ship's carpenter was able to do without assistance. In the course of his annual speech before the tlinckford Club, on Saturday, Mr. Du Cane reviewed tho Conservative position with some com placent-v.

There was no doubt, he said, that tho Conservatives would meet Parliament with their 'lumbers somewhat diminished by the result of the 'lection, while some "good and very true running would bo found absent from the pack iut he thought there had also been "something a weeding out of babblers and skirtors," anil tiiat what the pack had lost in numbers it might Wssibly have gained in compactness and symmetry." As regarded the Liberals, lie thought 'l iU although they had no doubt gained in numeri-Wl strength, "the Conservatives might congratu-': themselves upon the fact that there had been considerable void created among that knot of '-compromising politicians who sat around and 'shipped in the House of Commons that great "tins Mr. Having a game dispute with his tenants, Earl has settled it on these terms He rt5-rves about 8,000 acres, princinallv woodland, I'lr-i. and homo farm, for his own shooting, and tho flhnntnio- over tho rimninrln -c uoi vi rno COVM ai association of tenants, who aro inin.lv and severally iU.swerable for the rent, fort.be mainten- allco of a fair breedino- ntr.nl.- o-nrl Ior 'he watching of the around.

The Northern Whi'j has received information of the arrest of a supposed Fenian, in one of the suburbs of Belfast, being the first case of the kind in that town. The facts axe as follow: On Sunday morning, about ten o'clock, a man, giving name as Francis Thompson, knocked at the door of a publican named Brannigan, residing in Bally-maccarrett, demanding admission.

After some delay, he got in, and told Mr. Brannigan that he was a Fenian, and he (Brannigan) should know him. He stated that he was the paid agent in Ireland of the Fenians from the head centre in New York. He said that he wished Mr. Brannigan to join the Brotherhood, and asked him for Prayer Book to swear him in.

The man having stated that he was very tired and. would like asleep, Mr. brannigan put him into his own bed room, and having locked the door, he sent for the police, who took him into custody. He was brought before Mr. O-'DonneU, B.M., at the police office, and remanded.

Stock iStour, YaUsj G.uaranteed For the account Eighteen years ago in August, 1847 Mr. Newdegate rode "post haste," as fast as "a thorough-bred hack" carry him, to "show himself" to the admiring gaze of tho villagers of Solihull. It is gratifying to record the fact that Solihull duly appreciated the honour. Mr.

New. debate met the villagers, and "it was enough." Candidate and constituents "at. once understood each other" and Mr. Newdegate won the contest in wliich he was then engaged. As tho hon.

gentleman himself says "it ivas enough." Either Solihull preferred politically speakingto walk by faith and not by sight, or Mr. Newdegate was so completely satiated ay one visit to Solihull that he did not care to go there again. At all events we have it on liis own authority until last Friday ho never went near the village, "except it may be now and then for a game on the bowling green." Political necessity, or reviving affection, we can't say which, has induced him, however, to pay another visit to tho people who "understood him at once," and last Friday he went to Solihull, to attend that species of solemnity which is known as "a Conservative demonstration." Determined not to do things by halves, the hon. gentleman took his colleague, Mr. Bromley, with him and, by way of filling the cup of pleasure to the brim, both gentlemen made speeches, which were duly reported by us on Saturday, and which figured yesterday, at full length, in the congenial colums of the Standard.

Hoping to catch the true aromaof Conservatism, we have diligently perused the Standard's report of the addresses delivered by the members for North Warwickshire but, though we have been rewarded by the autobiographical confidences of Mr. Newdegate, and by certain feoblo pleasantries of Mr. Bromley, it has not been our good fortune to obtain any new light upon those great political questions which are supposed incessantly to occupy tho thoughts of every Conservative politician. Starting with the memories of his pre vious visit to isonnuu, ivir. IiKwd eoauk rangeu we can hardly say lightly over the topics which long experience of his oratory has rendered familiar to us.

He mentioned as an interesting tact we think we have heard it before that Mr. Bromley is coming to live in the county to "occupy the mansion that was built by tho House of Commons for his ancestor." He once more mentioned, in regard to himself, that he "represents no-narrow creed." Ho was good enough to repeat that he holds to the Conservatism of the Constitution as founded in the year 1088," that he is "a Pitiito," and that he has "no objection" to cooperate with the Constitutional Whig," whenever that interesting but rather mythical jsersonage "finds either that his party obligations admit, or the necessities of the State compel him to revert to the broad faith of tho Constitution." On occasion, it seems, Mr. Newdegate's political sympathies expand suflieiently to embrace others besides the Constitutional Whig." He rejoices to know that there are many, not called Conservatives," who arc ready "to return to that path of duty which it has been the pride of our greatest senators to pursue" a declaration which, from its happy combination of vagueness with solemnity, may fairly be set down as oracular. Growing larger-hearted as he went on, Mr. Newdegate took even Radical Birmingham to his bosom.

Birmingham, lie said though he desired the facts to be concealed from Mr. Bright Birmingham "aims at founding an aristocracy of her own;" and, but for tho heroic opposition of a Bromley, she would have succeeded. Yet, notwithstanding this impudent interference with the privileges of county landowners, Mr. Newdegate kindly recognises tho stability of that character from whence the energy is derived which distinguishes Birmingham" we record tho sentence without attemptina to intornret it for, he adds, "even in her faults there is an English will that makes me love her." Giving Mr. Newdegate full credit for the sincerity of the declaration for we believe that in this as in everything else he is sincere we have the pleasure of assuring him that at tho next election he will be able still more thoroughly to appreciate the English will of Birmingham, and may find her perfectly competent to establish an aristocracy of her own." Recovering from this momentary digression, Mr.

Newdegate soon resumed his well-beaten path. Ho praised the Constitution, as the source of tho many blessings we enjoy," but hinted that it might be torn from us at any moment, and solemnly warned his hearers to prepare to defend it. There are dangers abroad and tho greatest of all daners over-conlidence. Liberalism has introduced into Parliament almost all those elements which formerly attacked the Constitution," and unless the Conservatives constantly remind the country how much there is. to lose," depend upon -t "there will be a gradual descent until we reach a noint at which all we value cannot be recovered unless by a- struggle." Awful picture disma ToihccY Surely, we thought, on coming to this passage, tho Pm must have something to do with And, sure enough, the very next sen-V nnnclusion.

Give me a cup, a welcome cup, Of that same cheering tea And you may keep your other drinks, Whatever they may be. Tea, in its natural state, possesses a fragrance and flavour which make it the most agreeable of beverages but if brought in contact with soaps, peppers, spices, Arc, or if even kept upon tho same premises as" these articles, its fragrance and llavour are destroyed and instead of that freshness and briskness wliich it ought to possess, it drinks flat and insipid and the reason why tho York Passage Tea is so highly prized is because we keep none, of these articles upon the premises and hence, Go where you may, a3k whom you will, You hear the same unvarving tale "There's no tea like the York Passage Tea VOEK PASSAGE, HI OH STREET, ISIRMINQHAM.
