Mr. Faure !e -1 xith him to the last moment. The prisoner ap• , f u , have entertained very little religious faith, but ticanour and conduct and the opinions be expressed • I:ev. Mr. Jessopp, the chaplain of the prison, that gentleman with the opinion that he was en. : changed. III• was engaged until nearly 4 o'clock this morning writing the letters above referred to, and he en hid down and slept for a short time. At 7 o'clock e w.e4 visited by the Homan catholic priest, who stopped tth him until the time appointed for the execution. The t.ecution, as above stated, did not take place .ctil 10 o'clock, and shortly before that hour the under-sheriff. Mr. Abbott, attended with loins of his Acids. The culprit conducted himself in a most lie conking manner, and exhibited great firmness without any thin.: approaching to bravado. He appears to have been .1 sad physical sufferer, and was, no doubt, in an advanced st..ge of consumption, one lung, it was believed, being entirely d.stroyed, and in addition to this he was suffering fr , .l a painful surgical complaint. He walked up the steps leading to the scaffold with a firm step. When he arr.ved at the top he bowed twice to the crowd, and a good n..ay of the persons assembled cheered and clapped th, it hands. When the drop fell he seemed only to give one or two convulsive struggles, and then life was extinct. The crowd that assembled was very great, the number ,1 persons present being estimated at twenty thrxt ,nd. A large force of police, under the orders of Sup. r. rteudent Dunlop, of the M division, were in attendance, ad contributed greatly to the preservation of order. A. in the other case, the body was cut down after hang i.; an hoar, and was buried in the course of the day within tie ;ml. SCENE IN THE OLD BAILEY. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) The crowd in the Old Bailey did not begin to thicken till between 7 and 8 o'clock ; towards the latter buss the mob poured in from all directions. Immediately ii. front of the gallows the excitement was intense, ul at the last moment the hoarding erected to ps,tect the works in connexion with the Holborn usiduct near St. Sepulchre's Church was attacked by a hrge body of workmen, whose endeavours to scale the op and thus obtain a " sight " in most instances set the police at defiance. While the bell at St. Sepulchre's was still tolling the procession vAs seen approaching the scaffold ; and the pninful scene between the culprit and the hangman ~ve rise t 3 • strong expression of feeling. Groans were heard in every direction, with cries of "murder." "innocent," and "shame." These pro ceedings continued till the noose was adjusted. The members of tho open•air mission and other religions bodies were as active as usual, and the sixth commandment au made the subjcat of a notice posted in various parts, .ccompanied by the solicitation to "pray for a sinner." THE BOROUGH. The police authorities assert that at no previous execution has the number of spectators been so great as before Horsemonger-lane gaol this morning. From 9 till 10 o'clock the neighbourhood of Newington-causeway, Union-road, Blackman-street, Swan-street, Trinity-square, and other approaches showed a stream of human beings ; and such wu the great influx thatthe police were eventually stationed to prevent anyone passing down the principal of the above-named thoroughfares. The pressure of the crowd occasioned much screaming, and cheering and hissing accompanied the last moments of the unhappy Frenchman. THE POLICE COURTS, (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. THE INTENDED PI(DIT BETWEEN MACE AND EALDATN. James Mare, Pole Mace, and Augustus Mace, were placed at the bar, the former charged with being about to engage, and the others (who are his cousins), with being about to assist in a prize fight. _ . _ . - Mr. Louis Lewis, of Elyplace, appeared for the pri afters. Inspector Silverton, of the C division of police, said he was instructed to make inquiries concerning a prize fight ; and from information received he went last night to a house near Vernon-mews, accompanied by several officers. He made his way to the door of the house, and knocked. It was partly opened by a female. He said be wanted " Mr. Mace." She tried to shut the door in his foot He forced his way past her, and entered a room, where he saw the prisoner James Mace in bed. The other two were in the room, with their coats off. The moment they saw witness they put the light out. A general scuffle followed in the dark. When • light was obtained he saw that James Mace had got out of bed and was struggling with the officers, of whom there were four with witness, He was armed with a chair, which he broke to pieces, and after that he took possession of a water-jag, which be also broke. Witness got hold of him by the shirt. James Mace called for a man named Tyler, sad said the officers ehould not leave the place alive. He got away from witness, tearing his shirt, and rude a bolt at the window, but was shoved back by some of the officers. He said it was only a matter of a mall fine, and he should fight within a week, in Tits, of magistrates and police. At last we secured Um. I was Informed that the house belonged to the station master at Hems-hill station. He was not there. His wife refused to tell me his name. I told Mace he was charged with being about to engage in a prize fight. He said, " What of that ? you ; I will cght in spite of you." He was then taken to the station. `''use. When the charge was read, Mace said he could get bar gentlemen to put down 401. or 1001., or 1,0001. if re aired, and he would fight before the week was out. He t:ireatened me, and said be would " put my lights out." About 3 o'clock I went withiseveral officers to the Ludgate- E.ll railway station, where I saw about 200 of the roughest men I ever saw. The door was kept by some City police on the inside. There were several men with sticks—men whom I knew as pugilists, who were crying out, " Ticket or money, you —," and keeping passage by using their tricks. Many persons bad their clothes torn. Cron-ezamined by Mr. Lewis—Had no magistrate's warrant for the apprehension of the prisoners. I had not received any. I bad received instructions. Mr. Lewis—You went to this house, and took Mace out of bed! Witness—No, he got out. I can't say whether I should hav taken him out of bed. I did not intend to do so, for I did not know he was in bed. I had four officers with me. Mr. Lewis—And how many navvies Witness —None. Nobody but officers. Sergeant Bunoe, C 5, said that about 10 o'clock last night be went with last witness and other officers to the house at Herne-hill. He corrobo.ated the evidence of the last witneu. After going to the station-house, witness went to the railway station in company with other officers. lie described the scene in similar terms to Mr. Silverton. He asked to be admitted to the station to get a ticket. He obtained admission, and paid 21. for the ticket produced to a man they called Bill Ward. Remained and saw Ward with another man named Bu Tyler selling tickets. Thi■ continued till 4 o'clock, when the signal sr,' given to witness to depart. Witness continued—A nun came to me and asked me if I had a ticket. I said I had, and he told me to ascend the platform. I said I did not want to do so. I saw the train start, and then I left. One gentleman had nearly all his clothes torn off. Mr. Lewis objected to the legality of the apprehension nf the prisoner without a warrant, and referred to • use which Sir Thomas Henry advised him not to quote, u it was evident he had not read it, and it did not apply, saying it was clear that the defendant Mace was about to commit a breach of the peace. Whether apprehended with or with. out a warrant. be was here ; and the only point to answer was whether Mr. Lewis could controvert that. If he could not, the defendant must be bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Lewis said he could not controvert that for a mo ment. He was instructed however to say that Mace had no knowledge of the information being given to the police. Sir Thomas Henry thought Mr. Lewis need not press that point. Nobody suspected that he was in connivance with the police. Mr. Lewis was also instructed to say that though the prisoner In a moment of excitement said he could find bail to any amount, that was really but an an expression uttered in the annoyance of being apprehended. Sir Thomas Henry said he had no doubt that Mace was exasperated at being apprehended. But if be thought that he could after giving bail fight in defiance of the law he was mistaken. He spoke as if be need only pay the amount of bail, and then he could fight with impunity. He might, on the contrary, depend upon it that if he attempted to fight in violation of his bail he would be indicted. Mr. Lewis said be would certainly not do that. He (Mr. Lewis) hoped the learned magistrate would not impose heavier W.l than a man in Mace's condition could provide. Sir Thomas Henry said he bad no desire to impose higher bail than was sufficient to make it perfectly sure that the fight would not take place. What was the amount of the stakes! Inspector Hannan said the stakes were 200 t a side, and he was convinced that the fight would still take place unless heavy bail was imposed. These undertakings were very profitable. The prices paid for tickets for the train were 21.,31., and 41., according to the class. Mr. Lewis said that many gentlemen would pay from 21. to 41. for a ticket who would not assist Mace if he were held to bail. ___ Sir Thomas Henry said be should call upon Jame.; Mace to enter into his own recognisances in 50W., and find two sureties in 2.0 F. to keep the peace fur twelve months. Mr. L Lewis made a strong appeal to the magistrate to reduce the amount, saying to fix it so high would be equivalent to a sentence of twelve months' imprisonment. Sir Thomas Henry had no wish to do that; but the amount fixed was little more than that of the stakes. The prisoner had said that he would fight in spite of being held to bail, and he did not even now offer any assurance to the contrary. Mr. Lewis was certain that after the caution which Sir Thomas had kindly given Mace would not persist in going on with the fight. Sir T. Henry—But he does not make that pledge himself. James Mace—Yes, I do. I cannot afford to pay it, and so I can't fight. Sir T. Henry—What is that you say? Tnmev Mace—l won't fight. I won't fight now, under these circumstances. Sir T. Henry, upon this assurance, consented to reduce the amount of the bail to two sureties of 150/. each, and defendant's own recognisances of 300/. The two other prisoners moat find bail in two sureties each of 50/. and their own recognisances of 1001. each. Mr. Lewis said it was Impossible for Mace to find such bail. He had only just gone through the bankruptcy court, and had no means of living except in giving lessons in " the noble art of self-defence." The decision Ira/ equi valent to a sentence of twelve months' imprisonment. Sir T. Henry thought not. He bad very little doubt hut that the bail would be found. If, however, it could be shown that the bail was not forthcoming, it would be in his power to set him at liberty at any future time. The court was crowded with pugilists and others during the examination, but no e b u lliti on o f f ee li ng was mani fested. It should be stated that Mace was brought from the station•house to the court in a cab, with two stalwart officers, to each of whom ho was handcuffed. WORSHIP.STREET. A Nefft IN COCRT. Mr. Chrtries Jok4 &ennui* ' a master carman, was charged on remand before Mr. Newton with cruelly ill treating a horse. It appeared that a short time since a man in the service of the defendant was convicted of a similar offence, and the horse ill-treated ordered to be consigned to the green yard. The now defendant subsepiently waited upon the magistrate, and on the faith of his promise that he would not work the horse until perfectly cured, he was allowed to remove it from the green-yard to his own stables. Since then, and before the horse was in good condition, the de fendant had, it was shown, violated the agreement. Mr. Newton—You're an unmitigated scoundrel. Defendant—A what, sir! . . . Mr. Newton—l repeat, An unmitigated scoundreL Defendant—You, sir, apply to me such an epithet ! I am a respectable man, and during the whole '2f., years I have been a ratepayer I never bad inch an observation mado to me from a gentleman on the bench. I ask, sir, bow I am an unmitigated scoundrel Mr. Newton—l will tell you, and hold your tongue, sir, for a moment. You make a promise to the effect that you would take a proper care of the horse and abstain from working him, and the animal is not long in your possession when you break that promise. That's why you're an unmitigated scoundrel, sir, and for that offence you shall pay a fi ne of tifla or go to prison for two months. Defendant—An unmitigated scoundrel, am I? I will teach you to regulate your speech • little, sir. And the defendant left the court in a very excited state. MARYLEBONE. STE.U.ING A G(X. James Stanton, a tall, powerful-looking young man, was charged with stealing a double-barrelled. gun. The prisoner, when apprehended, was taken to John-street station, about three-quarters of a mile from this police court, and from which place there were a number of other prisoners to be brought. The prisoner, who is well known to the police of the district as a most violent character. and several times convicted of felony, it was deemed prudent to handcuff. He was then marched down with the other prisoners, haying an officer cn each side. Behind followed Sergeant Malt, 12 D, with the stolen gun. As they pro. ceeded along Crawford-street and Paddington-street in this manner the astonishment and excitement of the people became intense, they being under the impression that a Fenian ha i been captured, and the handcuffing and the carrying of the gun were precautions to prevent his escape or an attempt at rescue. William Wheeler said he was talesman to Mr. Tomlin son, pawnbroker, New Church-street, Edgware-road. His attention was called to the prisoner. who had taken a double-barrelled gun from the shop board. He pursued and overtook prisoner, who struck him. He, however, managed to get the gun from him, and then handed him over to the seqeant. Sergeant Malt, 12 D, proved taking the prisoner into custody. He offered sonic resistance. Committed for trial.

Light winds from the ;74.7utiward have prevailed over the British isles since yesterday; they have been accompanied by rain generally, and also by a mist nn the east coast, The atmo- spherical pressures have Increased slightly, and are more mil form over our islands than they were 3 esterday. The lowest is in the south of Ireland ,%).65 inches at Roche's Point'. ht southerly winds, with calms, now prevail on the Channel coast, where temperature Is high , elsewhere winds are variable, with an easterly tendency on the north-east coast. Rain still falls at several stations, and weather generally is foggy or over cast. THE BLOOM/46MM MURDER.—John Groves, the alleged Fenian, charged with the murder of the henchman McDonnell was again brought before, Mr. Vaughan this afternoon. Mr. George Cox, of 2.'1, George street, Foley-street, oil and colourman, deposed to having, on the night of the murder at a quarter to 12 o'clock, seen the prisoner in company with another man at the corner of Hart-street and Bloomsbury-street. The witness was under examination when our report left. Young gentlemen with a talent for caricature, and able to draw, must beware how they indulge in their propensities in France. A lad of 18, employed at W. Rodrigue's, a stockbroker on the Paris Bourse, amused himself the other day by pencilling a sketch on the blank wall of the room where the brokers' clerks assemble. He drew a kind of pencil fresco, a la Tenniel, representing every high personage indeed, arrayed after the fnshion of Blondin, walking blindfolded along a tight-rope, and holding in his hand a balancing pole, on one end of which Bismarck stands, whilst Garibaldi is gambolling on the other. This cartoon was highly appreciated ; but, un- fortunately, the police heard of it, and the rash youth Is to be prosecuted, whilst hie employer has been invited to discharge him. MONEY MARKET.-(THIB DAY.) On o'Otocra. The stock markets show increased depression to-day, and the general course of prices is un favourable. Further sales have been made, prompted apparently by the rise yesterday in the corn market and the withdrawals of gold from the Bank, as well as by a statement that preparations are being made at Aldershot to despatch troops to the manufacturing districts, owing to anticipated Fenian disturbances there. The amount of busi ness is very limited, but it consists almost entirely of speculative sales. Cons°la have declined I per cent., and some of the specu lative foreign bonds and home railway stocks i to Other securities, including banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares, are unaltered, in the absence of transctions. The supply of money in the discount market has further increased, owing to the payment of the dividends ; choice bills are taken at If per cent. In the Stock Exchange the charge for abort loans is without change, at 1 to li. Consols are quoted 931 to 94 for money and 93 15-16 to 94 1-16, or 94, for the account (Nov. 7). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Ceuta. have declined to 92 to 1. Railway stocks are still offered, and have ex perienced a fresh reduction in several cases. Great Northern (original) has declined , per cent. ; Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Brighton, ; and Metropolitan and Great East ern, 1. The present quotations are annexed : Metropolitan, 123 to 1 ; Great Western, 471 to 1 ; London and North Western, 1131 to 1 ; Midland, 119/ to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 12e4 to 1271 ; Caledonian, 101/ to 102 ; South Eastern, 671 to 68 ; Great Eastern, 31/ to 1 ; Great North ern, 109 to 110; ditto A, 115 to 116; London, Chatham, and Dover, 181 to ; North British, 33 to 1 ; and Brighton, 531 to 1. Turkish Bonds of 1865, Spanish Passive, and Italian of 1861 have receded § to per cent. ; Turkish of 1862 are quoted 62 to 63 ; ditto 1865, 311 to ; Spanish Passive, 14 to 194 ; ditto Cer tificates, 16} to ; Italian, 1861, 45 to ; Egyp tian, 1864, 83 to 85 ; and Mexican, 15 to I. United States 5-20 Bonds are without altera tion, at 711 to 1,, but Erie and Illinois Central railway shares have improved 4 to I, viz., to 45i to 471 and ' 6 771 to 781, respectively. Atlantic Cable shares have been dealt in to a moderate extent, at yesterday's prices. Anglo- American are at to and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference at 3 t i to In the market for Bank shares, Alliance and Chartered Mercantile of India have receded IF. — the former to to 10} dis., and the latter to 26 to 27. London and Westminster are called 69 to 70 : Union of London, 37i to 38A ; Imperial Ot toman, to 11 dis. ; and London and County, t 5 to 56. Financial shares exhibit no variation. Inter national Financial are at 21 to 21 dis. ; London, 24 to 22 dia. ; General Credit, 21 to die. ; and Credit Foncier, Li; to 5 dia. A meeting of the Greek bondholders of the loans of 1824 and 182 will be held on Tuesday next. It is stated by the chairman of the committee that " A provisional agreement has been signed between the committee and his Excellency Sir Peter Braila, the Minister Plenipotentiary and EnvoyExtraortii - nary, and Michel Spartali, Esq., the Consul- General, being the diplomatic representatives of the kingdom of Greece, subject to ratification by the bondholders and also by the Legislative Chamber in Athens." The numbers of bonds of the Antwerp and Rot terdam Railway Company which have been drawn for repayment are published. There is a strong and growing feeling that if the government of the United States wishes to place its credit upon a really impregnable footing, it should lose no time in passing an act for the repayment in gold of the capital of the 5-20 Bond debt, and thus act up to the expectation universally entertained amongst its creditors. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of 9301. 18s. Ild. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. About 41,000/. in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for the Continent, there being no supplies in the market. The total reported as taken out for export since the date of the last return is 207,000/. Same amount of coin will doubtless also leave the Bank this week in connection with the payment of the dividends. The silver market continues firm, owing to the demand for the Continent. Bars are quoted ss. Old. per ounce, and Mexican dollars 4s. 11d. to 4s. llid. About 20,0001. in this coin, received from New Orleans by the steamer Fire Queen, has reached London. It will be remembered that last year, under the impression of the panic, the usance of bills drawn from India was reduced from ail. to bur months. In many quarters, however, the change has been borne with impatience, and' it is under stood that the Indian banks have determined to revert to the old practice, though a formal resolu tion to that effect has yet to be passed. The return to the six months' usance will doubtless be regarded with satisfaction in India, where a large interest has constantly clamoured for it. Nor can this be wondered at when we consider the superior facilities which are thereby given to trade in pro duce, especially where it is conducted by houses that possess an inadequate capital. Yet the failure of the attempt to shorten credits in the India trade will be viewed with regret by many disinterested observers, who hold that the leas trade is conducted upon borrowed money the sounder it is likely to be. In all departments of business short settlements have a tendency to discourage transactions of an illegitimate character. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Monday, the 21st inst., a special settling-day in the new 501. shares of the London Joint Stock Bank, which are to be marked in the official list. _ . The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,0741. over last year, and the London, Brighton, and South Coast an increase of 1221. _ _ — The traffic receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in Septem ber amounted to 133,630 dols., against 116,804 dots. in the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 16,726 doll. The Great Western Railway Company have given notice that the Wellington and .Market Dravton Railway will be opened for local traffic on Wednes day, the 16th inst. It is also intimated that " new service of trains between Wellington and Crewe will be commenced on the Ist of November, affording a new through communication between London, Birmingham, Worcester, and other sta tions' on the Great Western Railway, and Man chester and towns in Lancashire, Yor kshire, and the north." At the half-yearly general meeting of the Bank of Victoria (Australia), held at Melbourne on the 6th of August, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was declared, leaving • balance of 19,9611. 14s. 4d. to be carried forward. A general meeting of the Smyrna and Cassaba Railway Company (Limited) is called for the 28th inst., to receive the directors' report and the ba lance-sheet. The half-yearly interest due the 13th inst. upon Riga-Dunaburg Railway shares is advertised for payment. The preparations yesterday for the settlement in the railway market showed generally a somewhat in creased supply of stock, from which it is to be in ferred that the public, after taking their dividends, have made some sales. The rates of " continua. ti though still very moderate, have consequently rule , llli.4her thanfor some time past. The following shows the terms on which the carrying over Ms been generally conducted. OUNIANOOB. Wining.

MINES.-(211.113 DAY.) Ors o'OLoar. In the mining market to-day attention is prin cipally directed to preparations for the fortnightly settlement to-morrow, and prices exhibit few changes. East Lovell shares, however, are inquired for, and have risen to 8.4 t 7. Prince of Wales are at 525. to 545. ; West Chiverton, 63 to 65 ; North Crofty, 3i to I; Wheal Grenville, 325. to 345. ; North Treskerby, 31s. 61.t0 325. 6d. • Clifford, 71 to ; Great Vor, lit to ; North Citiverton, 4 to ; and West Great Work, 31 to I. Very few transactions have been recorded in foreign and colonial mining shares. St. John del.

We have received the following from the Chow tales Gold and Silver Mining Company (Limited): By advice. received yesterday morning the directors sow informed that since the last mail some further cases of cholera have occurred, which have prevented the natives returning to their work : consequently the force employed is inadequate to the requirements of the mines. Notwith standing this, however, 211 oz. of gold have been remitted. The health of the Europeans continues good, and but for the delay occasioned by the want of native labour every thing at the mines would be satisfactory.

All the guns, anchors, chains, and other loose material, have been removed by the wreckers employed for the purpose, but the bull has thus far resisted every effort made either to raise it or break it to pieces. We read in a Melbourne letter :—" A terrible disaster has occurred to another legislative celebrity this month. Mr. ll'Cann, whole unpleasant situa tion under committal for forgery I have already described, has Sind) been tried, and found gailty of feloniously utter ing a forged security of stock. The case was one of several forgeries by the some hand. The sentence of the court was seven years' imprironment. These who are sensitive abut the honour of our public UM say, ' If we have our M'Canns, England has her &alien, her John Dean Paula, and her Roupella. The consolation is not complete, but is the best that presents itself.'" JOHN MITCHEL's OPPORTUNITY.—John Mitchel announces the publication of a new weekly paper in this city on the 12th of October. From its name—the !rid Citkeit—we presume that it is to be devoted to the in terests et the Irish people ; but suppose we were to strike out a new path for Mr. Mitchel by sug gestine that as so many of his country ~ •cri hays. been for years past in the enjoyment of good offices there might be a fair chance for him in the same hne. He can not fail to observe that his fellow countrymen, O'Gorman and O'Reilly and O'Kelly. O'Brennan, O'Lynch, Oghan non and O'Brieu. are, or have been, or hope to be, the possersors of fat office. and large emolu ments. Some of these gentlemen have already held the office of sheriff, the most prottable in the city, and others of themare candidates for the mum place. Why not O'Mitchel have a fair chaos*, if he only has the same genius for getting hold of it' There is a fortune in one term, and it would be much better than that farm in Alabama which be once jocularly wished for, but never got. —Nue York Fero!

Some very curious old paintings were removed from the old 801 l Inn, Bishopegate, in the rear 1803, and are now in the possession of Mr. Clark, No. St. Swithin's-lane. They consist of a view of St. Mark's. Venice. by Cansletti ; a pair, by Salvator Rose, representing Tobias and the Angel. and Jonah at Nineveh; and a portrait, by Hy more, of Mr. Van Horn, a Hamburg merchant, which, from a somewhat strange history attached to it, on a parchment. is the most curious, thow2di not the most valuable. This history is as follows :—" Portrait of Mr. Van Horn, Hawke' merchant. Belonged to • club called The Amicable So ciety,' held at the Bull-inn, Bishopsgste-street, for a period of 22 years. During the above period ha t.l drank ~680 battles of wine, which makes '2.973 dozen and four bottles, averaging at nearly four bottles and a half per day ; and did not miss drinking the above quantity but two days—the one of which was the banal of his wife and the other the marriage of his daughter. and heed till he was ninety years of age.
