Camille Anemic; ' a Frenchman, was indicted for unlaw fully and maliciously wounding William Edwin Fuggena with a sword, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. . . Mr. Werner Sleigh prosecuted ; M. Ribton defended. M. Albert interpreted the evidence. The prosecutor said be lived at No. 24, Comptowetreet, and about 1 o'clock on the morning of the 24th of July he had some beer with a friend in Wardonr-street. The prisoner was at the corner of the street speaking very loud, bet he took no notice of him. lie insulted some other parties there, and a woman called him a beast.

He then ran away, but some one followed him, and he was brought back and given into custody. Ct Other evidence having been given, Mr. Ribton, in oross-examination elicited that th e pri soner believed that he bad been robbed by the prosecutor, however incorrect that supposition might be, and he after wards addressed the jury to the same effect.

Mr. Ribton said just before this ocer was robbed of his watch and hat. the prbtener Kr.

(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. HOMES AT THE FIRE. StepAen Ilead,• workman (smith), employed by Mews. Holland and Hannan, was charged with awmulting Police constable E 77- The constable stated that at about half-past 1 o'clock while the fire was raging, he was on duty at the gases of Messrs. Holland's premises. The prisoner was trying to force his way in. Witness told him that he could not pass in. The prisoner said, " Who are you ? " and struck him. Witness took him in custody. He was drunk. This was corroborated by Police-constable E 138. The prisoner resisted violently, and it was only by the assis tance of a third constable that they were able to remove him, the difficulty being increased by the density of the crowd through which they Lad to take him. The prisoner said it was " all a tissue of lies." Frank Henley, an engine -driver in the same employ, mid the prisoner, who was perfectly sober, was assisting in removing the workmen's tools for safety when the police aun 77) came up and knocked him down. He then said to the other constable, " He is drunk, him, let us run him in." The policeman seemed to witness to be the worm for liquor. E 77 cross-examined the witness, and observed that it was very strange that the prisoner himself had not men tioned the aissaulL The prisoner's foreman spoke to his good character and proved that he was sober when he helped to remove a tool box, about the time stated. He had been &teetotaller for twOyears. Inspector Griffith said the constable had been several Lure in the force, and was • very well conducted man. He was certainly not in the habit of using such language as vas imputed to him. If he had been intoxicated, the charge would not have been t a k en , b u t h e would have been detained. The instructions to tho police were to admit freely any persons claiming to be workmen employed at the building, and having that appearance. But as men took advantage of this to get in though not employed there, the police had a very difficult teak to perform. Mr. Flowers said, after the good character which had been given to the prisoner, he should certainly not detain him any longer. If the prisoner considered himself ag grieved it would be for him to take steps towards • further inquiry. A youth, named Georg W7iite, was charged with attempt in to pick pockets in the crowd at the fire. His master, an upholsterer, gave him an excellent character, and was bail for his appearance for further examination on a future Juan Mackay, of 8, Museum-street, baker, was charged with smutting Police-constable fliecock, E 51, and John Whiner, a carpenter, also of 8, Museum-street. The prisoner is a journeyman baker, employed as above, and living in th e house. He had been engaged while the fire was at its height in removing goods from the house, but when the fire abated he was told to discontinue, as there was no longer any earl'. By this time, however, he had t a k en t oo much brandy, and had got into an obstinate temper. He persisted in removing boxes from Whiner's room, in Rite of the latter's remonstranoea. The constable then Spoke to him and tried to persuade him to go away or be quiet. He struck the offioer a violent blow in the face blackening both hie eyes at once. Whitter came to the constable's assistance, when the prisoner set upon him and struck him in the face, knocking one of his teeth eat The tooth was produced in court by Whitten The prisoner said he was instructed by a young woman who lived in the holm to remove a box belonging to her. Whitter said that was true, but it was some time Wore, and the prisoner had been told that it was no longer necessary, as the danger was over. But he was too obstinate to listen to reason. The prisoner admitted that be was drunk. Mr. Flower. fined him 51. for each assault, or in default two menthe' imprisonment. GREENWICH. ELTIAORDINART ELOPEMENT FROM BIRMINGHAM AND ROBBERY. Charles Lairrier Dubois, about 40 years of age, of 6, Peruerset-plaL.e, Retherhitne, was placed in th e d oc k be fore Mr. Traill, charged with stealing a quantity of undo of household furniture, value 23/., the property of Er J. W. ho u se o ld druggist, of Schofield- T is place, Schofield -street, Birmingham. me excited considerable interest, the wife of the Prolocutor, who had eloped w ith the prisoner, being present i !erert. with her three children. Duringthe examination me appeared greatly incensed against her husband, and frequently smiled to the prisoner, for whom Mr. Cockle, Witer, apposed, a clerk from tha ofilloe of Messrs. l iamPhreys and Morgan attending for the ptcaxution. Mr. John William Janson Sloconihe said in August of Let year he was a passenger with his wife and family on board the City of London steamer from New York. The P r isoner was also a passenger on board the screw-steamer, smi was represented on the voyage to England as being a Pslitieal refugee from the Southern States of America, and in a very destitute condition. He (prosecntor) had married his wife in South America, and had left Fmgisad for the purpose of bringing her and his family ' hats, They had taken great interest in the prisoner, and alter their arrival at Liverpool the prisoner had called "Pm them, by invitation, at their temporary lodging, 10, St. Panrs-square. The prisoner then ascertained that they were about going to Birmingham to live, and afterwards found them out at an hotel at which they were staying in that town, subsequently becoming an inmate of the house he took in Schofield-place, Schofield-street, Bir mingham. About a fortnight since he came to Loudon to receive some money from his solicitors, which he gave to his wife, who arrived in London three days after him. He Pre her the money (a cheque for 1601.) on her returning' to Birmingham, she desiring him to remain in London and wok a busbies'. Four days afterwards he returned to Bir mingham, and was surprised to find his house closed, his wife and children absent, and the furniture removed. From inquiries he ascertained that the goods were taken emit in a railway van, his wife and the prisoner assisting in their removal. He had since seen a portion of the pro perty (produced in court), taken from a house at Bother niche, where he found his wife and children. Inspector Warren, R division, said, from information Omen by the prolocutor the prisoner was apprehended on tee Deptfool-road, Rotherbith e , w hil e ou t w a lking. Whilst the prisoner was being taken to the station, witness *tat to the house, 6, Sonsereet-place, Rotherhithe. lie ate saw the prosecutor's wife, and inquired of her THE EXPRESS, MQNDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1866. whether Mrs. Parker lived there. She replied " Ye.," and said she was Mn. Parker. Witness told km• her name Iran illooombe, that Yr. Parker (the name the prisoner went by), war is the custody of the police and that he had come after the proceeds of the cheque for 160 f. which her husband had given her. The wife replied that the mosey wee all spent Witness, notking a large trunk in the parlour went to it, and asked what it contained, when she replied that the trunk belonged to some one in America. Eke afterwards took tine keys of the trunk out of her pocket opened it and put her hand into a corner. lie then took hold of her hand and from it he took a puns, eontaining a Bank of England note for 1001., four kaltsovereigns, an agreement between the landlord of the hones and Mr. Parker, and some pawn brokers' duplicates. The prosecutor in answer to the magistrate said the trunk m question belonged to him, and his wife kept her clothes in it. agent, of Rotherbithe, deposed to the prisoner, in company with a female, whom he now recog nised as the wife of the prosecutor, to hint respect ing renting • home, and he agreed to let • the house, 6, Bomerset-plaoe, provided that the landlord signed an agreement. The prisoner inquired if the locality was healthy, saying he wanted the house for his wife and family. Some goods were afterwards brought to the house iu one of Pickford's vans. It was here stated that this was all the evidence that could then be produced, but that at the next examination witnesses would be produced from Birmingham who would prove the removal of the furniture by the Prisoner, and that he and the wife and children had left together. Mr. Trail having ordered the prisoner to be remanded, The prosecutor inquired whether he could not claim the custody of the children as he considered his wife a most improper person to have charge of them. Mr. Trail said there could be no doubt the prosecutor had a legal right to take charge of the children. The prosecutor's wife here became so violent in her language, declaring that the children should not be taken from her, that by order of the magistrate she was removed from the court. Inspector Warren said the wife was a moat violent woman, and had taken up a poker to attack him and her husband, hut the poker was wrested from her. The prisoner was then removed in custody.

ELECTION COMMISSIONS. GREAT YARMOUTH. The inquiry warn resumed on Saturday. John Walsh, a hatter, received from Mr. Downing a number of tickets, which were to be given to certain per sona in oonaideration for their votes. This was on behalf of the liberals. He understood the tickets were worth 15i. each. Mr. T. Downing, a fish merchant, went to Walsh be- PLUM he knew he always had money every time he voted —(laughter)---and gave him a ticket for himself. Witness wrote the ticket himself, and they were marked A, B, or C—A meaning 101., B, 151., and C, 201. (Laughter.) There were very few tickets. He had formerly been a conservative, but had changed his politics for private reasons. One voter was " sugared " twice by the conserva. tires and once by the liberals. (Laughter.) He had from 90 to 100 voters on his list. There were about 500 " doubtful" voters in Yarmouth and Gorieston. T. B. Edwards, a tailor, was also employed to distribute tickets. He stated that be only gave five tickets away, but mentioned the names of a greater number of persons who received them from him, and, upon being threatened by the chief commissioner, gave the names of about 20 voters to whom he handed tickets. Mr. J. C. Marshman, a member of several East Indian Railway boards, said he was introduced to the constituency of Yarmouth by Mr. Watkin. When Lord Russell pro posed some years ago to enfranchise Stalybridge, he ad dressed the inhabitants as a candidate, and he was also a candidate for Ipswich in 1857, for Harwich in 1839, and for Idarylebone in 1881. A short time before the last election Mr. Watkin asked him whether he was willing to contest Yarmouth with Mr. Brogden, and he assented pro vided certain arrangements were made. He retired on account of the unsatisfactory state in which he found the constituency, inure than 300 voters being consi dered doubtful. One of the voters said, " I tun ready to lay down my life for Jesus Christ, but I do not consider it a sin to take money for my vote." (Laughter.) Mr. Watkin told him the probable expense of the election would be 700/. or 8001.; nothing was said about illegal expenses. He thought that as 400 or 500 persons bad been disfranchised there would be a pure election for the future. (Laughter.) He pit down the 300 who would not promise as venal, and some he marked " V.V.," very venal. (Laughter.) At the conclusion of Mr. hlarshman's evidence the com mittee adjourned. REIGATE. At the sitting of the committee on Saturday, Henry W. Goss stated that he occupied a 101. home, and voted at the last election for Mr. Gower. He also canvassed. One man named Barham said he should vote for "pocket." Barham had some peas and cabbsges,which he was willing to sell at 101. a row. There were fifteen rows. He reported this to the committee. He refused to take any money for his service... Richard Goldsmith, a gardener, who paid ICJ. a year rent for his house, voted for Mr. Gower. He borrowed It. from Joyes after the election, which be never repaid, and he received 10e. on the day of election. He thought the I/. might Dave something to do with the election. (Laughter.) He was at the Black Horse a night or two before the election. There were 40 or 50 persons there. He bad some beer. He did net know whether any spirits were put into it, but that might have been so. (Laughter.) He .lid not lay for anything. He believed the non-electors paid. (Laughter.) _ _ _ Thos. SCOuiell, carpenter, and T. Wood, boot and shoemaker, were employed u canvassers for Mr. Gower, the former receiving 7a. W. a day, and las. on the nomination and polling days, and a present of 1/., and the latter 51. John Palmer, a smith, wee canvassed for Mr. Gower end offered by Joyes five weeks' work at IL a week. He could not do anything for the election as a smith. and Joyes said as he was not to do any work. be might walk about with his hands in his pockets. (Laughter.) Joyes said be might go to Hearne's beershop. He went there lots of times when he warn fatigued. (Laughter.) If Mr. Monson's party bad come first and offered 5/. it was very likely he should have gone with them. Several other persons who had been employed as canvas sers or to bring up voters were examined, after which the inquiry was again adjourned. TOTS ES. On Saturday Mr. Philip Cnndy, a brewer at Totnes, was examined. He said he had lived in the borough since 1836, and had taken an interest in politics on the liberal side. There were rumours of bribery in Ifr39, and be knew there was a good deal of treating. He was the landlord of the Lion Inn. The different landlords supported the liberal party in turns. He supplied three cwt. of meat, and believed his hill for the public-house wax 50/. • day. There was a good deal of bribery in 1840. In 1841, when Lord Seymour and Mr. Baldwin were returned, two bullocks were brought into the town and killed and the meat distributed among the poor. He bad heard that it bad been the custom to pay the voters' rates just before the election in that borough. There was a good deal of bribery in 1847, which was between Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Ricardo. Lord Seymour, to the beat of his belief, never spent money in bribery. Mr. Mills'. return in preference to Mr. Baldwin might have had something to do with monetary influence, but Mr. Baldwin was at that time not so popular as he had been. He heard that at that election the voters received 401. and 50/. each. The system of manufacturing votes began in 1837 and l&IS. Between 1841 and 1347 there was a large in crease of voters in Bridgtown. The votes were manu factured by putting several persons as occupiers of a small harm and erecting some buildings on it. The votes were let in on the Gemstone property by twos and threes. Mr. Baldwin was the first who put nine persons on for some fields let at 901. or 95f. He did not think there was any bribery in 1857. Bribery had crept into the town council election. He believed the bribery had been far greater on the part of the conservatives than on the part of the liberals. In 1837 a voter received a horse and cart. Mr. Baldwin was the first to commence the system of bribery which bad been continued by both sides ever since. He could not say within 10,0001. how much had been spent in bribery during the last 15 years, but he should say 50,0001. was the outside sum. Mr. W. Bentall, wine and spirit merchant, the person alluded to as having offered a voter • horse and cart in 14517, denied the truth of the statement. He said every body kicked against the coercion of the Duke of Somerset. Mr. R. A. Huxham said the preponderance of the con servatives in the town council and of the liberals at the parliamentary elections was undoubtedly due to bribery. The inquiry was adjourned till to-day.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held this afternoon, at the oboe of the corporation, 4, Threadneedle-street ; Mr. E. HAMILTON, M.P., presiding. The report was taken se read. It stated that at the date of the latest advice, nothing had occurred in the Australian colonies to affect the prosperity of the bank. The I -continued drought referred to in the annual re port , which had prevailed formerly two season', bad cased, copious rains having fallen in moat parts of the Australian ecatinsaL This favourable changewould mach alleviate the pressure which the pastoral and agricultural Interests had lately experienced. The securities held in Australia were of such a character as to justify a feeling of confidence on the part of the direc tors, that the bank would not be affected by the monetary embarrassment in this country. It was very gratifying to them to he able to state that no loss had been sustained by the bank in Loudon. They re gretted to have to announce that the retirement of Mr. White and the lamented decease of their highly esteemed colleague, fair W. Minto T. Farquhar, Hart., 'had created two vacancies in the direction,which would be filled up that day at an extraordinary general meeting, called for that purpose. A dividend and bonus at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, or 2/. 16s. per share for the half-year, tree of income tax, would be declared at the usual time, and would be payable on the 16th of October next. The CHAIRMAN reminded the meeting that the accounts presented in March showed that the profits of the bank for the twelve months ending October, 186,5, amounted to 170,0001., of which 64,000/. was distributed among the proprietors by way of bonus in April, and nothing had occurred in the interval to make the d rec tlrs hesitate in distributing an equal amount in October next. Coasidering the widespread embarrassment which had made the last three or four months ever memorable in the annals of the City of London, it would hardly have been surprising if some portion of this bonus had been arrested to meet possible contingencies. No such necessity, however, existed, but on the contrary, at the latest &tykes in June last, the failure of Messrs. Overend and Gurney was known in the colonies, and nothing had occurred to indicate any unusual pressure. or corning disturbance. The colonists were never back ward in asking accommodation from the bank, and at that time the demand was fully equal to the supply. It was only fair to say that at that time the failure of the Agra Bank was not known, but as that company did not carry on strictly banking business, it was the opinion of all mercantile men that its failure would not affect any company that carried on legitimate banking operations. The native war in New Zealand had come to an end, and new gold fields of great richness had been discovered, from both of which sources the bank antici pated a rapid extension and improvement of their busi ness. He had also to speak of the establishment, since the last meeting, of a new postal steam service between Eng land and America rid Panama, for which a subsidy of 110,000/. had been provided exclusively from colonial resources. He moved the adoption of the report. The motion was seconded by Mr. ilmis and carried. The meeting was then made extraordinary, and the vacancies at the board were filled up by the election of Mr. Childers, M.P., and Mr. Philpott. The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. CRYSTAL PALACE. —Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lull , Somerset, Lord George Poulet, and Colonel Home Purvis, witnessed the display of the Great Fountains and the ascent of Signor Ethardo on Saturday afternoon. The last great Ballad Con cert of the season takes place this afternoon at five o'clock. The Palace will be brilliac.tly illuminated until nine at night. The admissions (Half-a-crown Day) were : On payment, 2,740 ; ditto by season tickets, 3,554. Total visitors, 6,294. THE' CATTLE PLACCE.—The usual return of the statistical office of the cattle plague department of the Privy Council was issued on Saturday, and its satisfactory feature is that it manifests a further decrease of cattle plague attacks. During the week ended 18th August, the number officially reported in Great Britain was 127 ' • viz., 1211 in England, and lin Wales. This shows a total de crease of 34 on the previous return. The number of " back cases" of attacks, referring to recent weeks, being now hioonsiderable, no estimate in anticipation f such cases is made in the present return. Fresh outbreaks took place in 20 farms, or places where cattle are kept, the number of such outbreaks ih the previous week being 33. The number of healthy cattle slaughtered, to prevent the disease extending to them, was 22 during the week. No attacks have been reported from Scotland during the week The following 22 counties from the com mencement have remained free from the disease, viz., Westmoreland, Monmouth, the six counties of South Wales, Montgomery, Merioneth, Carnarvon, Anglesey, Wigto ' wn Bute, Argyll, Ban ff , Elgin, Nairn, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, Caithness, and Orkney and Shetland. In 73 counties and "the Metropolis" no 012011 have been reported as occurring during the week. 4 counties and the 3 ridings of Yorkshire show an increase of 18 cases ; and 13 counties show a decrease of 52 cases. One animal in every 19 of the ordinary stock of cattle in Great Britain has been attacked, and to every 1,000 attacks whose results have been reported, 882 ani mals perished. 130 sheep are reported during the week to have been attacked, making the total to the date of this return 6,323. The mean temperature of the week at the Royal Ohservatory was 58.0 deg., or 3.5 deg. below the average of the came period daring 50 years. Rain fell to the amount of 0.62 inch, and the blue mist, re marked by Mr. Welsher as first discernible on 38th July, continued throughout the week, but it diminished daily in denaity. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 77, complete saturation being represented by 100. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN THE NORTH.—On Satur day morning a railway accident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, between Penrith and Clifton, result ing in considerable destruction to property. About five o clock, as a goods train from Carlisle for the south ap proached Clifton Station some of the couplings broke, when the train was near to the top of an incline of one in 123, and four ersggons and the break-van thus liberated re turned towards Penrith at a rabid speed. These waggons had not proceededfar down the incline, gaining momentum as their velocity became grea;.er, when they came into violent collision with a second goods train, also going south. The consequence was that the van containing the breaks man, being first' to meet the second train, was Numbed almost to atoms by the approaching engine, and the escape of the breakaman with either life or limb seems to he a miracle. The engineman and fireman leaped from their engine and escaped unhurt, when about fifty or sixty yards from the place where the collision took place. The engine of the second train was thrown broadside on to the road, blocking both lines of rails, and the tender, though maintaining its position on the wheels, being run off the line into the embankment. The collision was terrific. The only person injured, however, was the bre:Tilsit:eon, a man named Robinson, residing at Tebay. Trains from Carlisle and from the south were detained for some time, but arrangement; were made for the carry ing on of the passengers' traffic : the passengers having to walk from one train to another, and exchange carriages on each side of the bridge. A large staff of men were speedily on the spot to clear the lines, but the broken engine lying on the rails defied for several hours all the efforts of physical strength and mechanics/ appliance to restore it to its upright position. A BAD EMINENCE. —The Liverpool Albion has the following:—" Liverpool has been pronounced the most drunken, the most criminal, the most pauper-op premed and most death-stricken town in England. And it is true. Its extreme drunkenness, and the excessive number of prisoners whose crimes are traceable to the in dulgence in strong drink, arrest the attention of her Ma jesty's judges; its pauperism weighs heavily upon the rate payers ; its annual rate of mortality—which was last week at the rate of 56 per thousand—is so high that those whose business familiarises them with the statistics of disease and death are appalled by it. The drunken cases dealt summarily with by the magistrates are set down at the annual rate of 1 in 33 of the popula tion, • much larger proportion than is shown by any other town in the kingdom. These statistics do not mean that one in every thirty-three of the inhabitants of Liverpool is fined for drunkenness every year, but that the fines inflicted for drunken ness have averaged that proportion. The habitual drun kards, in their periodic appearances before the bench, form an endless chain of besotted creatures. The same sinners come before their worships frequently ; and each conviction is treated by the statistics as a separate case. According to the recently published judicial statistics there are 3,100 habitual drunkards in Liverpool, and they are about equally divided as to sexes. This wretched army of victims, who immolate themselves at the altar of Alcohol, are never very long out of the hands of the Pla ‘ ice. ` Amelia," Brigham Young's latest wife, says the Chicago Tribune, is a model woman for the " Saints. She is- notlonable, Imperious and coquettish, and Young pets her like • child. One evening a friend took tea with her and the Mormon prophet. After tea they remained at the table eating nuts, and Amelia threw her shells through an open window on the opposite side of the room. Her husband said, " don't do that ; put your shells by your plate." " I shan't do it," replied the fair one ; "111 throw them where I please, and I'll do as I please, and you may help yourself." And pulling her guest by the dress, she mid, 'Come, let's go upstairs and let him grant it out." MONEY MARKET. -{THIS DAY.) On o'Orouot. The stock markets are firm t3-day, it being generally anticipated that at least half a mil. lion sterling in gold will be sent into the Bank during the next few days, and that the official minimum, will be re duced to 6 per cent. on Thursday next. The funds continue in good demand, and have ex perienced a fresh rise of } per cent. Some of the English railways, foreign securities, and banking shares have also improved, but financial are neglected. Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares exhibit a somewhat important advance. The applicationsfor discount to-day are extremely moderate, while the supply of money seeking em ployment is superabundant. The rate for good bills is 6 per cent., with exceptional transactions at Q. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans on English government securities is 4 to 4i per cent. Comola are now quoted 8S to 89 for money, and 89 to * for the amount (September 6). In the foreign stock market there is a demand for Italian Bonds of 1861, which have advanced per cent. Brazilian scrip has also improved 1, but the other speculative descriptions are unchanged. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 50 to 51 ; ditto of 1865, 241 to 25 ; Greek, 12/ to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 20 to ; ditto Certi ficates, 14} to ; Italian of 1861, 531 to 54 ; Brazilian scrip, 21 to 11 dis. ; and Mexican, 151 to 16. United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 11 per cent., viz., to 711 to 72. Erie Railway shares are likewise 2 per cent. better, at 45} to 46, while Illi nois Central are unchanged, at 77i to 78i. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted 101 to 4, being ss. lower, and Atlantic Telegraph, 34 to 1, showing no change. International Financial shares are quoted 14 to 1/ dia. ; London Financial, 13} to 13 din. ; 'leneral Credit, 21 to 14 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 3/ to 31 dis. ; and National Discount, 8k to prem. Assuming that the Bank rate of discount will be reduced to 6 per cent. next Thursday, of which there seems little doubt, a single fortnight will have witnessed a reaction of 4 per cent. from the highest point touched during the crisis. Precisely the same interval occurred in 1857. On the 24th December in that year the rate was reduced from 16 to 8 per cent., and on the 7th Jan., 1858, to 6. In 1847 a decline occurred on the 27th Nov. from 8 per cent. —the extreme charge then attained—to 7, and on the 2nd Dec. to 6. It was not, however, till the 27th Jan., 1848, that the rate fell to 4 per cent., a reduction corresponding to that which is now taking place. The apologists of the Act of 1844 seem determined to tind merits in their favourite measure which either never existed, or have proved to be entirely fallacious. It is difficult to know for what sub stantial reason the Act is defended, since the ground is being constantly shifted. According to Sir Robert Peel " the object of the measure is to prevent (so far as legislation can prevent) the re currence of those evils from which we suffered in 1825,1834 i, and 1839. It is better to prevent the paroxysm than to excite it, and trust to desperate remedies for the means of recovery." In other words the Act of 1844 was expressly designed by its origirator to render commercial panics almost impossible. The answer is, that since then we have had three panics, in 1847, 1857, and 1866. So far fro-ii the Act having prevented these crises, its abrogation has ef fectually stopped them. So much for the original intention. But, on tho other hand, it is urged that at all events the Act of 1844 has secured the convertibility of the Bank note. From 1819 to 1844 there was no Bank Charter Act, and at what time during that period was the convertibility of the note in danger I When was the currency de preciated I As far as convertibility is concerned, which is the safer, a Bank of England or a Bank of France note I And yet the latter institution en joys perfect freedom in its issues. Until these questions are answered, the supporters of the pre sent system had better leave argument alone. Abt;ut 66,0001. in bar gold - was sent into the Bank on Saturday, in addition to 60,000 sovereigns from abroad. The steamer Nyanza has arrived from Alexan dria with G 07,0001. in gold, and the Delta with 140,0001., making a total of 747,0001., a large por tion of hich will be sent into the bullion depart ment of the Bank to-day. The China, from Bos ton, has brought 5,0001. The out-going steamer with the mail for Bombay. which will leave Southampton to-day, will take no specie. Telegraphic communication was re-opened on Saturday between London and Frankfort-on-the- Maine. Great inconvenience has recently been caused to bankers and merchants by the interrup tion in the working of this line. The liquidators of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association have issued a notice that at 12 o'clock on the 31st inst., at the London Tavern, they will make a call on the contributories of 51. per share. All persons interested are entitled to attend, to offer objections to such call. The mercantile advicea from the Danubian Principalities mention that in consequence of the deficient harvest the government have prohibited the export of all kinds of corn, except wheat. The following remarks on the use of the Atlantic Telegraph are from the Iron Trade Circular of Messrs. George Ryland and Co. : The advantage or the mischief which may accrue to commercial interests on either side from the completion of the Atlantic cable will, to a very great extent, be go verned by the manner in which the transmission of news by itis regulated. It will not do to rely upon the information of the newspapers only—supplied as its from one source, the " Associated Press "—a body not entirely free from suspicion of intermeddling with news for stock exchange purposes ; neither is it desirable that private messages (of public importance, be it understood) should forestall or supplement these despatches. What is required, and what must be obtained, is the publication of as many de spatches as possible, from numerous and various quarters. Cannot a kind of " Telegraph Lloyds" be instituted by a subscription of some five hundred merchants, who, from their own correspondents, can make sure of plain, clear. and complete intelligence of all matters, general or other wise, affecting commercial interests, and few occurrences indeed are there by which commercial interests are net influ enced! Divide the expense amongst so many firms, more or lees, and it will not be felt. One house could only afford three words on corn, but three or four hundred could telegraph a full column of markets. Thus should we have the Press Association telegrams checked, just as the Times and other papers found it necessary to check the Reuter intelligence under the old system. lt is a childish mis take," says the Nem York Commercial Chronicle. " to sup pose that the multiplication of telegrams diminishes the demand for any one telegram out of the number. On the contrary, such is the nature of this species of news, that of all possible news it most demands verification. The man who has received a telegram of importance is not the leas, but the more anxious on that account, to see all other telegrams which may have been received in reference to the same subject. And every central and responsible pub- lication of telegrams from Europe will tend at once to in crease the importance and the accuracy of all other similar '! publications.' SATURDAY ETZNING.
