Herbert Pearce, James Lord, and Martin Wallis, three privates of the Grenadier Guards, the former weerinsa good conduct stripe, aud!the two first named with black eyes, were charged se William Stockley, landloird of the Pakenham Arms, linightabridgr-green, said on Saturday night the defend sMs and two other soldiers (111116 into his house, and, coming upstairs, wanted to enter his concert room. As they were drunk, he directed his manager not to admit them, espe cially as he had forbidden two of them to enter the house before. Complainant told them he could not have them in his concert-room, when they be pn to use very bad language, and forced their way in. They struggled with them, and got them out, when Pearce struck complainant, and another man, who escaped, also struck him. These three then all att acked him, and tried to throw him over the banisters, but be got h'. belli against the wall, and fought in self-defence, during which he gave the two soldiers black eyes. Complainant at length sent for the police, when they rushed downstairs, and Wallis and two others (escaped) went into the her, and caused damage to the extent of 31. 2 / 1 . 2d. Samuel Geary, 267 A, said he was called into the public house and foun d a crowd of 400 or 5C3 peewee assembled. Hearing screams of murder inside, he got is after some difficulty and saw Wallis and the two who have camped breaking everythiog they could get at in the bar. He took Wallis into custody, when be struck him several times, and but for assistance he would have been roughly handled as the mob incited the soldiers to attack the police. The defendants declared that they were assaulted by the Pndlord and his men. It having been intimated that Pearce and Lord bore a good character, but that Wallis was very irregular as a soldier, Mr. Poynter said he was sorry to see such men before him. Pearce and Lord, however, seemed to have got the worst of it, and he should only line them Is. esch. As to Wallis he should fine him the amount of the damage, and ss. in addition, or in default commit him for six weeks. They were locked op. SOIJTHWARB. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE . 111 THE RIVER THAMEi. A young manias deplorable condition, who name of George Williams, and was described in the charge-sheet as a carpenter, with no borne or habitation, was brought before Mr. Burnham, by Inspector Thomas Roe, of the Thames Police, charged with making a most determined attempt to drown himself in the Thema, near Southwark. bridge. Inspectsr Roe maid that about 4 o'clock on Satur- day afternoon he was on duty in the police galley, near Southwark•bridge, when his attention was called to a crowd collected about Bankside. He proceeded there, when he saw the pri soner i n adreadful state, having just been pulled out of the river after sink ing near several coal barges. He had made a most determined attempt to drown himself, but his actions were observed by Mr. Gcorge Gerard, the inspector in command of the floating engine, who put off in a boat and got to him Just in time to save him from a watery grave. Mr. Gerrard told witness, however, that he had considerable difficulty in saving him, risking his life to do so. Mr. Burcham—Had the prisoner been drinking? Inspector Roe—No, sir. He appeared to he in a state of starvation and in an exceedingly weak condition. Mr. Mitcham (to the prisoneri— What are you? Prisoner—l am a carpenter, but owing to illness I have been unable to work, and was actually starving. Mr. Burcham—Why did you attempt such &tricked act ? Prisoner (despondingly)—l was starving, sir. What was I to do? Mr. Morahan—Have you no relatives or friends in London? Prisoner—No, sir. I have not a friend in the world, or I should not have attempted suicide. Mr. Bonham told him that if he was in such distress he should have applied to the parish authorities, who were bound to relieve him. He should remand him until Satur day, so that he might have the advice of the chaplain of the gaol, and that some inquiries might be made about him. Remanded accordingly. THE SMITHFIELD CATTLE SHOW. (THIS DAY.) The remarkably fine weather of to-day has given the Smithfield Show at its new home at Islington a start which must have rejoiced the haute of the directors. Islington-green and the Liverpool road, where are the two entrances to the Exhibition, were a scene of animation from an early hour, and numbers who did not dream of paying is. for admission promenaded the streets to view the opening of what to them was probably for the most part en entirely novel spectacle. The notion that Islington was too remote a locality for any vast numbers to continue to take an interest in the annual display, was completely dissipated. The snore aristocratic part of the company reserved their visit for the after-part of the day, but be tween one and two o'clock the turnstiles were going round at a rapid rate, and there can be no doubt that the wealthier classes of the metropolis were then strongly re presented. Universal admiration was ex pressed at the ap pearance of the new building. A few sales took place in the course of the morning. Among the Herefords an animal, bred by the late Prince Consort, and exhibited by Colonel Hood, was purchased by Mr. Thomas Pawsey, of Bath ; Mr. R. Farthing's Devon, winner of the prize of 251. in its class, was secured by Mr. James Hook, of Frederick-street, Hampstead. r oad ; and another Devon, bred by the late Prince Consort, which obtained a prize of 10/, has become the property of Mr. Longman, King-street, Islington. Of the pure Sunk breeds, which attracted great attention among the practical portion of the company, Mr. Napper's animal which gained 10/. was sold to Mr. Parker, of the Hove, Brighton. Mr. Edmund Ikare's prize Norfolk polled animal is now the property of Mr. Copland, of Windsor. The remarkably fine animal of the Aberdeen and Angus breed, winner of a prize of 251, puled from the hands of the exhibitor, Mr. W. M'Combie, of Elgin, to those of Mr. T. Norris, lamb Tavern, Cattle-market, and another animal of the same class which obtained 151. for Mr. J. Stewart, of Aberdeen, will soon be offered by Mr. S. Mann in another form to the inhabitants of Croydon. An animal of the Galloway breed, which was exhibited by Mr. Heath, of Norwich, and, though not a prize animal, was much admired, will soon be suspended on the tenter hooks by Mr. T. English, of Chelsea. Up to 2 o'clock there had not been many purchasers of sheep. Among the few, Mr. Hooke, of Frederick-street, Hampstead-road was prominent. Some of the principal prizes in art, in the form of cups, &a, were displayed in the outse of the building. TOTEM ELECTION. NOMINATION.-(THIS DAY.) (Br ELICIIIIO TZLIGRAPIL ) TOTNPS, MONDAY. The show of bands at the nomination to-day was for Mr. Dent, the conservative candidate. A poll was demanded for Mr. Pander (liberal). WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY. Dacia= 8, 8 LA WANIAWORTH. ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER THAMES. SaraA a married woman, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the river. Mr. Henry Kelley, the ex-champion of the Thames, stated that about six o'clock last evening he was standing at his hack door, adjoining the river at Putney, when he beard screams p roceedingi from the water. He looked and saw some person floating down the river. He immediately ran down and pulled the prisoner out of the water. She came to after a little time, and recognising her, be took her home. Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to this' Prisoner—l attempted to jump into the river. One of the officers of the court said the mother and the prisoner's husband were present. Mr. Ingham inquired what they had to say The mother said the prisoner had been in a very nervous excited state. Mr. Ingham said he should remand her for a week to consider what to do with her. The mother asked his wonhip to Moue the prisoner, and she would not do it again, but he refused to comply with the request. The prisoner, who had a very narrow escape from drown ing, was then locked np. SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—(TuIR DAY.) — A serious accident took place this morning a little after 8 o'clock on the Greet Eastern Railway, by which consider able damage has been inflicted on the permanent way and rolling stock ; but, as on all such occasions, it is impossible to ascertain from the officials the amount of injury. The train which leaves Hertford at 8 a.m., and is due at Shore ditch at 9.30 a.m., had scarcely get upon the main line when the engine left the rails, carrying with it the tender and several of the carriages. The extent of the injury done to the line may be estimated from the fact that all the up-traffic has been inteirupted for • long time. To prevent any collision between the disabled train and the express train from Norwich, which was due in about half an hour or twenty minutes, men were sent forward with danger signals, at the sight of which the driver of the express promptly brought his train to • stand still. COLLECTIONS AT H ACHNEY. —Liberal subseri& M ons are being made in Hackney in aid of the lADou Relief Food. At the Unitarian church the sum of 4:91. 17s. has been collected af ter sermons preached by the Revs. J. Martineau and It. B. Asplaod. OWNERs OP COTTAGE PROPERTY IN THE NORTH.— A deputation from the owners of cottage property in Black burn waited on the Blackburn guardians on Saturday, with a memorial in favour of obtaining a loan of 50,600/. from the consolidated fund. The deputation and the memorial showed that the owners of cottage property were heavily pressed in this crisis, and unable to pay the rates ; they therefore wished the guardians to join with the other local authorities in obtaining a loan. The chairman of the board intimated that the guardians would give them time to pay the rates, if that was all they desired ; they could not grant them exemption, however ; and with this communication the interview c losed. A CAME OPTR IM. CON. AT LI V ERPOOL. —The lovers of gossip in • certain suburban locality in the vici nity of this town whete the elegant mansions of our wealthy "merchant princes" peer above the rich foliage of a gentle slope to the banks of the Mersey, have during the l a st few w ee k s b a d amp l e material for tattle in • case which will soon occupy the atten tion of the Divorce Court. It appears, from what rumour says, that a gentleman highly connected blur for yeah been married to an accomplished and beautiful woman from the ranks of our merchant princes, but no issue has been the result of their union. Within the last few months, however, there appeared every evident* that the lady would not long remain childless. The hushaud =s pading from some canoe that all was not right, made in quiries as to what persons had been visitors during hie *Nene., and was told that no other than • beer relative ever saw the mistress during the period be was from home. Feeling, however, still uneasy in mind, he resolved to teat his wife's fidelity, and accordingly took a house in a not very remote watering-place. In a few days after they bed arrived at this quiet resort for the wealthy, the husband received a letter upon urgent business which required that he should be horn boom for several days. Every prepara tion was made for his immediate departure, sod the "truth ful, loving wife" was foremost in attending to the requirements of the journey. The departure bad all the appearance of fact about it ; but one of the servants was placed in possession of the secret that this was • ruse to test the accuracy of certain suspicions. During the day upon which the gentleman had undertaken his supposed Journey the lady despatched a missive to a person in Liverpool, who. it is said, is her cousin. Under the "shades of evening" the husband entered the house while hie wife and her near relative were in the drawing-rooor. By the aid of his servant the husband reached his bedroom unknown to anyone else, and at once secreted himself under the bed. At the usual hour of retiring to rest the servants were told that they were not again required that night, and that she (the mistress) would "let out" Mr. —. About midnight, the two participators in crime entered the bedroom, and the husband emerged from his hidiog-place when they had retired together. He at once moused the do mestics, proved to them his wife's infidelity, and turned her sod her relation out of doors. These are • few of the par ticulars of what will form • ease for divorce before Sir Cresswell Cresswell in • few weeks. Both parties are said to be highly connected, and no doubt when the matter is brought before the Divorce Court it will create • great sensation in this town and neighbourhood.--Liverpool Mercury. A STEEL MERCHANT SHIP.—MERSEIL Jones, Quig gen, and Co.. o f thi s t own , h ave just contracted to build of steel, for a Liverpool house, a vessel of 1,2C3 toes, This will be the first merchant vessel built of that material. The plates will be manufactured at the Mersey Steel and Iron 'Works. We believe that experiments on Messrs. JOINS'S aogular target are about to be resumed at Shoeburynee, when the Whitworth gun will be employed to test its stability. The target will be the same weight per foot as the Northumberland target, which was so mutilated by the Whitworth shell—Lirerpool Albion. L 2.D. W. Y. X. C.

CAPL MAIM —The Union Steamship Company's Cape Royal Mail steamer Norman, Captain R. B. Davis, embarked the usual monthly mails for the Cape, Xecensiou, and St. Helena, at Plymouth, on Saturday, whence she was despatched in the afternoon by the company's agent there H. J. Waring, Fag., for her destination. She was obliged,, however, to return to take shelter for the night under the lee of the breakwater in Plymouth Sound through the heavy south-west gale and tremendous sea that was prevail ing in the Channel. Yesterday, the weather being much abated, she proceeded on her voyage. Her mails consist of 16 bags of letters, 100 bags of papers, and 12 begs of books. She takes out, also, despatches for the governors of the above colonies, 40 passengers, and a foil general cargo. A strange aluianack has just been published at Rome, at the office of the Osserratore Romano, under the title of the " Benefactors of Humanity." Those excellent persons, the portraits of whom are given, are Pitt' IL, Cardinal Antonelli, Francis 11., the Duke of Modena, the Duke of Parma, sod the directors of the clerical journals the Armenia and the Coneenporaneo. A decision has just been come to by the director general of the French post-office abolishing the privilege hitherto enjoyed by provincial scientific associations of ex changing their publications postage free. A society at Cam bray, which had forwarded 78 copies of its last publication under the envelope of the Ministry of Public Instruction, has been called on to pay 144 fr. for their postage as unpaid letters. The Al!genuine Zcitung states that the recent nomination of M. von Eichmann as envoy-extraordinary and fully-accredited minister of the King of Prussia to the court of Rio Janeiro has no other object than to ask the hand of the heir to the Brazilian throne—the Princess Isa bella, daughter of Dom Pedro 11., now 16 years of age—for a son of Prince Hobenzollern-Sigmaringen. Some time since it was thought that the Duke of Chartres, grandson of Louis Philippe, would be a suitor for the hand of the prin cess, but his taking part in the campaign against the South ern states of North America destroyed his influence with the rich planters and alaveholdees of Brazil On Saturday, the unfortunate shareholders or subscribers to the " classes " in connexion with the City Bank of Mr. Jonah Andrew, held a meeting at Manchester to deliberate on their position. The meeting was numer ously attended, and, as might be expected, the revelations by the depositors were most pitiable. It is reported that the feeling of the meeting was in favour of quietly winding up the affairs of the " classes." It has been remarked that the three first subjects in the realm have been fellows and tutors of colleges at Oxford. The Archbishop of Canterbury was student and tutor of Christ Church ; the Lord Chancellor, fellow and tutor of Wadham College ; the Archbishop of York, fellow and tutor, and afterwards Provost, of Queen's College. CABINET COUNCIL—On Friday summonses were issued from the Foreign-office, appointing a Cabinet Council to meet to-morrow (Monday), at Lord Palmerston's residence in Downing-street. Mr. Milner Gibson is ex. prided to travel from his country seat, Theberton-house, Suffolk, in order to attend the meeting. Mr. Gladstone is expected to arrive from Hawarden Castle, and the Duke of Newcastle from his seat, Clumber-park. Lord Palmer. stou remains in town. Sir George Grey returned to Lon don on Friday, from Windsor Castle. Lord Granville is expected to arrive in town on Monday. Other members of the Cabinet, now absent, are also expected to return to London, for the purpose of being present at the council. —Observer.

Wyke ham Audi), the father of the member for Rochester, is spoken of as the candidate in the liberal interest for the eastern division of the countyof Beet, rendered vaeantby the death of Mr. Deeds. The conservatives are already at work to secure the return of air Norton Knatehboll. The name of Mr. Beresford Hope, who has estates in the county, bas also been mentioned. THE Rev. Ma. BELLEW AT BEDFORD CHAPII. Bedford Chapel, New Oxford-street, was yesterday re opened by the sew incumbent, the Rev. J. C' M. Bellew. The building has bean redecorated throughout with con siderable taste, and the general effect of the interior is light and graceful. There was a very numerous congregation. Mr. Bellew protested his entire and hearty concurrence in all the articles of the church. !torsi Conossaum.—The Barrett Minstrels, whose first appearance we noticed some weeks since, untie= to enjoy populaity. The agreeable hour presented by these gentlemen will, in addition to the varied attractions of this institution, draw large numbers of country visitors who will flock this week to the great Cattle Show. SHIP ON FIRE. —A most melancholy accident oc curred in the outer harbour of the Hartlepool Docks early on Friday morning, and which might have caused • fearful disaster among shipping if it had not been discovered in time. A considerable number of vessels were lying in the outer harbour, when some people, who were astir, ob served smoke coming up the • ` companion " of the schooner Mary, of Hartlepool, and were further attracted to the ship by the barking of a dog in • neighbouring vessel. They found that the cabin was ou fire, and !wring given the alarm buckets of water were poured down the companion, and as soon as the dre was got under Mr. Peck, a ship cap. taro, went down into the cabin amid a dense smoke, and found Ralph Day, the mate of the vessel, lying dead upon the cabin floor with one of his feet nearly burst off, and both his legs severely charred. The body was brought up, but life was extinct. The cabin was completely gutted. The cause of the fire is not known. THE BIRKENEIRAD RIOTERS.—The trial of the prisoners accused by the police of participation in the riots at Birkenhead, is fixed for the lOth instant, and we ear nestly appeal to all catholic, who hate injustice, and who feel for men wrongfully accused, to contribute to the funds which are required for their defence. We really cannot conceive anything which at the present moment appe•ls sn powerfully to the public spirit and the sense of honour of the catholic body as the case of these prisoners. They are poor and helpless. and they are made victims tint of their own misdeeds, but of the popular passion and prejudice against us, against our cause, and against our religion.— Tabief. FOE-HUNTING EXTRAORDINARY.-onMonday last the quiet little village of Horton was enlivened by a fox hunt of a very novel and exciting character. It appears that a workman employed at Horton House was returning from his dinner, when he espied Reynard inning from a gap in the hedge near the rectory. He lost no time in giving the slarm, and very soon almost the whole population ' turned out en plasm, men, women, and children. all armed with the first offensive weapon that presented , itself—bill-hooks, stakes, hammers, spades. and even 1 pick-axes were grasped by the eager Nimrods, and away they went, over hedges and ditches , in fine style, going in • direct line for Wraysbury. When near that place, reynard doubled and made again for Horton, • still followed by his relentless enemies, and on reaching I the rectory he bolted into the garden, and eventually ensconced himself is a faggot pile, from which he was soon driven, when, to the amazement and chagrin of all parties, it turned out to be not reynard at all, but a floe specimen of a foxdog belonging to a gentleman in the neighbourhood! to, after looking rather sheepishly at each other for a few moments, the disappointed hooters burst into • hearty laugh, and separated.—Windsor Standerd. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLoci. The funds to-day are steady, and present no variation from Saturday's prices. Business is quiet. English railway stocks are neglected, and likewise stationary in price, with the single ex ception of Great Western, which has rises 4 per cent. In the foreign stock market dulness, on the whole, continues to prevail, and prices is several instances show a drooping tendency. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 70fr. 80c., being 1 per cent. better than on Satur day. Console are now quoted 924 to 4 ex div., for money, and 82/, 1, ex div., for the account (Jas. 8). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 924, 4; ditto for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Re duced, 92, 4 ; New Three per Cents., 924, 92; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1074, 4, 4 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1004 ; Five per Cent. " aniseed " rupee paper, 1051 ; Exchequer Bills, June, 95., prem.; ditto, March, 65., 9s. prem. There is no revival of animation in the foreign stock market. Turkish securities, however, are firm, particularly the scrip of 1862 and tke Consolides, both of which are rather dearer. The Loan of 1864 is now quoted 831 to 844 ; that of 1858, 70 to 1 ; the scrip of 186% 24 to 4 prem. ; and the Consolidds, 381 to 39. Spanish Certificates are heavy. Mexican Bonds are also lower, though steadier than in the morning. Greek, after showing dulness, are now firmer. Italian Five per Cents. have slightly improved. Venezuelan scrip is quoted 21 to 2 dis. ; Portu guese, 34 to 1 prem. • and Peruvian, 21 to 2 dia. Transactions are r e corded as follows zilian, 93, ex div. ; Egyptian, 921 ; Italian, for account, 71 ; Greek, 164, 4,4, 4 ; Mexican, for account, 311, 32 ; New Granada land Warrants, 41, 4 ; Peruvian scrip, 24, 2 din. ; Portuguese,lB62, 474 ; Russian, 1862, 931; Spanish New Deferred, for account, 484 ; ditto Certificates, 81, 4 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 841 ; ditto, 1858, for account, 704, 1, 4 ; ditto, 1001. Bonds, 74 ; ditto, 1862, scrip, 21, 3 prem. ; ditto, paid up, 704, 4, 71. The price of the Turkish Loan of 1862 has now overtaken that of the Loan of 1858. On a com parison of the speculative merits of the two stocks there are now two points in favour of the loan of the present year ' inasmuch as • dividend accrues first on it (due the Ist January), and the drawing of bonds for redemption takes place in May. In the case of the Loan of 1858 the drawing has just been effected, and the particulars are this day published of the bonds to be paid off at par on the Ist March next. They represent a total capital of 59,6001. The Ottoman Bank at Constantinpole have re mitted to the Bank of England 30,0001. on account of the next March dividend of the Turkish Lan of 1858. The committee of the Stock Exchange have fixed to-morrow, December 9, as a special settling day in the reserved shares o: the Metropolitan and Pro vincial Bank, which are to be marked in the official list. Another new bank is announced under the title of the London, Birmingham, and South Stafford shire Bank ( L imited), with a proposed capital of 1,0C3,0001., in 10,000 shares of 1001. each, of which the first issue is to consist of 5,000 shares. It is pointed out that during the last 25 years, notwithstanding the remarkable growth of the trade of Birmingham and South Staffordshire, only one new bank has been formed. The local banks in Birmingham are highly successful, and their shares stand at very large premiums. The principal offices of the new bank are to be iu Lon don and Birmingham, and an establishment is to be immediately opened at Wolverhampton. As an instance of banking success, attention is drawn to the position of the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank, which has recently resolved to double its capital of 500,000/. by the creation of additional shares, two-fifths of which are to be issued to the share holders at 81. prem. Another new undertaking is the Lebong Tea Company (Limited). This company is formed for the cultivation and manufacture of tea on two extensive estates situated near Darjeeling, in Northern Bengal. Six hundred acres are already in tea. The interesting character of the project has caused it to be taken up by a highly respectable board, presided over by the eminent agricultural authority, Mr. James Ceird, M.P. Of the capital of 100,0001., in 101. shares, 2,000 are taken by the board, who thus practically testify their faith in the concern, and the number now offered to the public is limited to 6,000. We have received a copy of the prospectus of the Bristol and South Wales Zinc Smelting Company (Limited). The object is to embark in a species of enterprise which has been found to yield very con siderable profits on the continent. It is intended to purchase some zinc mines in South Wales, and also a colliery and works advantageously placed near Bristol, where it is proposed to erect zinc smelting furnaces on the most approved continental plan.
