- RONEY MARKET AND WIT NEW S. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The variations presented in the Bank of England ,eturn for the week to Wednesday last, are rather Important, but they exhibit very little change in t he position of the discount market.

Judging from the present tendency (3 f affairs, it is not improbable that a further accu mulation may occur. Although the demand for mo ney has been comparatively quiet, the other securities have been augmented £360,659, but this 18, a ccounted for by the increase in the private and 7 re ,nanry balances.

Two fashionably-dressed Frenchmen, who gave the names of Collin and Loeompt, were placed at the bar, charged with assaulting a man named Collings. The complainant said he was potman at the Angel and Sun public-house, Strand. About four o'clock this morn ing the two prisoners entered the house in company with two females, called for some half-and-half, and afterwards seated themselves opposite the bar. They then commenced pulling the women about in so indecent a manner that his n►istress, Mrs. Partridge, ordered him to clear the house, aad as he was quietly persuading the prisoners to quit the place, he happened to put his hand on Collin's shoulder, when he instantly threw him (complainant) to the ground, and attempted to gouge out his eye. A struggle ensued, when Lecompt came to the assistance of his friend, and kicked complainant violently in the faco. The assistance of the police was ob tained, and both the men were locked up. Mrs. Partridge, landlady of the Angel and Sun, corrobo rated the evidence of her servant. She also said she had no doubt, had not assistance arrived, the poor fellows eye would have been seriously injured. The police constable who took the prisoners into custody, said when he did so they were both drunk. Collin, in answer to the charge, said it was untrue. He never took the girls into the house at all, but met them there when he went to get to some half-and-half. The cause of the disturbance was the refusal of himself and friend to " stand treat "to the girls. As to assaulting the potman, he merely acted in self-defence, for, instead of acting in the mild manner he had stated he had done, he took off his coat and seemed as if ho intended to have a regular " set-to." Lecompt said he was with his friend when the affair took place. He did not consider he acted wrong. He denied kicking the man. Mr. Jardine said he preferred believing the version of the affair given by Mrs. Partridge. Both prisoners were drunk, and therefore incapable of stating correctly what took place. That the potmau had received a violent blow on the face was quite evident, and he therefore should fine each of the prisoners £3 for the assault or in default a month's imprisonment. Emily Purkis was charged with pot stealing. The police-constable, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that early this morning he saw her near her lodgings in Earl-street, Seven-dials, and from the appearance of her dress ho thought she had something concealed. He asked her what she had got, when she replied "nothing," and he then perceived, as she was turning round, the rim of a pewter pot. He pulled aside the shawl, and took the pot produced from her. He had known her about the streets for years. Mr. Skeat, landlord of the Britannia public-house, J ames-street, Covent-garden, said the pewter pot produced was his property. Mr. Jardine—l suppose you loose a great many pots— do you not ? Mr. Skeat—Yes, your worship. In the short space of four months I have lost 300. I know the prisoner from seeing her in my house ; and so strong have my suspicions been that I would not have trusted her with a pot out of my sight. I know none of my servants would, as they too believed she was a pot-stealer. The constable here produced two sugar crushers, similar to those in general use amongst publicans, and said ho found those at the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. Jardine—As far as I can I am determined to stop this species of plunder. I shall therefore send you to prison for a month. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ADVANTAGE OF PLATE GLASS WINDOWS IN DE TECTING PICKPGCKETS.—Dennis Kennedy, 14, and James Moriarty, 18, two artful looking customers, wore charged with attempting to pick the pocket of Mr. Thomas Madden Stone, clerk to the Royal College of Surgeons, 42, Lincoln's inn-Fields. Mr. Stone said that this morning about nine he left Lincoln's-inn-Fields, and when he got to Covent-garden ho found the prisoners were following, and on reaching Castle-street his progress was checked by a crowd, and he then felt Moriarty trying his pockets, in one of which was a pocket handkerchief, and in the other a check book. He went on till he got to Regent-street, and where, knowing that he was being still followed, he went up to a plate glass window, which having the effect of a looking-glass, enabled him to see what was going on. He then saw Moriarty beckon Kennedy up, upon which he (prosecutor) put his hand down under the tail of his coat, and distinctly felt the younger prisoner " nibbling" at his pocket, the intention evidently being to get the cheque book out of his pocket. He (prosecutor) then crossed the street two or three times, each of which the prisoners fol. lowed him, till at length, seeing an officer, he went up to him in a careless manner, as if to ask a direction, and on telling the officer what had occurred, he took them into custody. Laskey, 101 C, said he took the prisoners into custodl and at the time they were waiting as if for prosecutor to go on that they might follow him. Gordon, 336 A, proved that the younger prisoner had been at Bow-street, but was given up to his parents. Committed for three months with hard labour. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Richard Hirstwood, a clerk, aged 28, and dwelling at the time of his apprehen sion at No. 3, White Horse-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with embezzling various sums of money he had received for and on account of his em ployer, Mr. Richard Francis Tindale, auctioneer and up holsterer, of No. 1, Portland-place, Commercial-road East. Mr. Fearnley, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner had been for some time in the service of Mr. Tinda t le, at a salary of 21s. per week and five per cent. commission upon all goods that he sold. Mr. Tindale, feeling satisfied the prisoner was a dishonest servant, dis charged him a few days ago, and since then had discovered that he had embezzled various sums of money to an enor mous amount. Mr. Tindale had also discovered a large deficiency in his stock of goods, which could only be accounted for by the prisoner having sold them and appropriated the money to his own use. It wculd only be sufficient for him (Mr. Fearnley) to prove three cases of the prisoner having feloniously embezzled money he should have accounted for to his em ployer to enable the magistrate to commit for trial. Mrs. Elizabeth Lockwood, of No. 5, Brunton's cottages, Limehouse, said Mr. Tindal() was her landlord. In May and June last she paid to the prisoner two sums of £1 12s. each for rent, and took his receipt for the same on both occasions. Elizabeth Elliott, and Mary Ann Elliott, her daughter, of No. 12, Limehouse Causeway, proved the payment of two sums of 10s. each to the prisoner for rent, on Mr. Tin dale's account, and he entered those payments in a book when be received the money. Mary Ann Gilbertson stated that on the 31st August last she went to Mr. Tindale's shop and paid to the prisoner £1 4s. 40., a debt owing to Mr. Tindale for goods. Tho pri soner handed to her the receipt silo now produced. Mr. Tindale said that none of the above sums had been paid to him or accounted for by the prisoner. It was the duty of the prisoner to balance the money received daily in a book, and leave the same in the till. In June last he spoke to the prisoner about Mrs. Lockwood being two months in arrear with her rent, and said he should levy a distress for the same and seize her husband's goods, on which the prisoner begged of him not to do so, because she was in the family way and about to be confined. On this representation he did not proceed against Mr. Lockwood. He afterwards ascertained the rent had been paid to the prisoner. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, sen., solicitor, of Ely-place, the prosecutor said the prisoner had occasion ally put small sums into the till without entering the amounts in a book, but he was quite certain the prisoner had not accounted for any of the sums paid to him by the three witnesses. Witness had never received them in any shape. He had a tenant named Baddeley, who always paid his rent by cheque. Those cheques had been paid to him very punctually by the prisoner and not entered in a book. Mr. Yardley said there was a prima fade case of em bezzlement made out, and he must commit the prisoner for trial. Ho would take bail, the prisoner in £2OO, and two sureties of £lOO each. DOUBLE EXECUTION IN AUSTRALIA.—WiIIiam Armstrong, a native of Ireland, and George Chamberlain, a native of New South Wales, were executed together at Melbourne on the 12th of July, having been convicted of an attempt to murder. They had been previously tried and acquitted for the murder of Mr. Cornelius Green ; but sin gularly enough, after their condemnation, and only when all hope of a respite was lost, they acknowledged the crime for which they had been legally acquitted. Precisely et ten o'clock the sheriff proceeded to Armstrong's cell and summoned him forth. After partaking of a glass of water the wretched man stepped quickly forth, and, although deadly pale, appeared to have summoned all his resolution to meet his impending fate with firmness. Upon reaching the scaffold Armstrong requested that the rope might be ad justed exactly under his ear. This request was complied with, but had rather a contrary result to that anticipated by the unhappy man, for upon the bolt being withdrawn the rope shifted its position, and the neck not being broken, death did not ensue so quickly as in the case of Chamber lain, who, after one or two spasmodic motions, ceased to show the slightest signs of life. Chamberlain had prepared himself for his end by thoroughly washing himself from head to foot, and in the morning he dressed himself with some neatness, having on a pair of clean white gaiters which had been provided for him at his request by his friends. ENGLAND assists nearly the whole of the world in making its money more directly than is generally supposed, the mints of France, Spain, Prussia, Russia, the Indies, and the Colonies being indebted to the Patent Plumbago Cru cible Works at Battersea, for the best means of economising their valuable ores. Yet although the gold purchased by the Bank of England passes in and out of these peculiarly combined smelting pots, our own mint in many respects adheres to the old system. The Patent Plumbago Cruci bles are great conductors of heat, and save a large propor tion of coke. They are used by Messrs. Rothschild, Brown and Wingrove, Johnson and Mathy, and others, for the melting of gold and silver ; by the Enfield Small Arms Works, and Royal Carriage Department at Woolwich, for melting brass ; and at the Brest Imperial Works, and in Sheffield, and elsewhere for the more perfect fusion of steel.

The next great aquatic event is the contest between Henry Kelly, of Fulham, and Robert Chambers, of New castle, for the Championship of the Thames, and stakes of £4OO. Kelly has been for nearly three years in undisputed possession of the title, during which time Chambers has been rising, step by step, until he has attained a degree of celebrity which justly warrants his friends in backing him for the present great race. Until a few months ago Thomas White stood between him and the champion, and as he has ascended in the ladder of fame, step by step, he was matched against him, and in the race between them, which took place upon the Tyne, Chambers so thoroughly de feated his opponent—a sculler of considerable renown— that all difficulty in the way of backing him for the cham pionship was dispelled ; and hence the present engagement. The race is appointed for four o'clock next Thursday, and a number of steamboats have been engaged for the convey ance of spectators throughout the course, which is from Putney-bridge to the Ship at Mortlake. Kelly is in active training, at Mr. Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth ; Chambers, at Mr. Heath's, the Star and Garter, Putney. Both men are in fine condition, and are rowing in admirable style. There is no disparity of any moment in age or weight between the men, who are in the prime of manhood. Betting is brisk at even money. LONDON ROWING CLUB-EIGHT• OARED RACE. The great race, originally appointed to take place on Wednesday next amongst the gentlemen of the London Rowing Club, has been postponed until Saturday. The distance will be from Putney to the lower end of Chiswick Eyott, through the centre arch of Hammersmith-bridge. The following are the competitors : _ _ Mr. Casamajors's (the . charnpion'ss crew.—Messrs. C. Schlotch, H. Nead, E. Morley, J. Stahlschmidt, J. Rad cliff!), H. Firman, S. Csmroux, Jefferies. _ Mr. Foster's crew.—Messrs. W. Dunnage, F. Catty, H. Custance, E. Raphael, E. Conner, 0. Wray, E. Maltby, R. Price. Mr. Potter's crew.—Messrs. H. Burgess,- M. Sherman, E. Coventry, A. Finlaison, W. Robins, E. Noble, E. Allan, J. Blake. It must be understood that Messrs. Casamajor, Foster, and Potter are the coxswains. A steamer will accompany the race, leaving the City at 3.15, and Hungerford at 3.30. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Honourable Catherine Elizabeth Boscawen, relict of the llonourable and Reverend John Evelyn Boscawen, M.A., Prebendary of Can terbury, was proved in the principal Registry of the Court of Probate by the Right Honourable Vis count Falmouth, the son, and sole executor. Her ladyship has specifically disposed of all her jewels and trinkets amongst her sons and daughters. A portion of her property under settlement had been appropriated to her two married sons and four married daughters, and she disposes of the remain der of her fortune between her three unmarried daughters and her son Edward James, who are also appointed residuary legatees—the eldest son being amply provided for. The will bears date the 14th of November, 1856, and she died on the 31st July, 1859. The will of the Coantess Elise De Viry Beauman, late of Turin, relict of Admiral Beauman, was ad ministered to in London by her sister-in-law, Dame Emily Thaon de Revel, the residuary legatee, owing to the executors (Chevalier Charles 1)e Viry, her brother, and Chevalier Genova Thaen de Revel) having renounced the grant of probate. The will is translated from the Italian and French languages. After giving directions for her funeral and masses for her soul, she disposes of her property, leaving to her two nephews, the sons of her brother William, all her railway shares and bonds, realising 6,000 fr. per annum, in the hands of her bankers at Paris. This bequest is made to equalise the disposal of her fortune amongst her nephews, as the sons of her brother George have received three-fourths of her fortune during the lifetime of her husband, with her consent. She leaves to Jaques Alarchisio, her servant, 1000 fr., and to each of her other servants one year's wages. All the rest of her property, and the money at her bankers, she leaves to her said sister-in-law, Dame Emily Thaon de Revel. The will of Thomas Henry Smith, Esq., of Bermondsey, who died in July last, was proved in the London Court of Probate by his cousin, Walter Smith, Esq., the sole acting executor; the personalty sworn under £BO,OOO. There are be queathed to friends a variety of legacies, specific and pecuniary—the latter amounting to between £5,000 and £6,ooo—and there are the following charitab'e bequests : —To the Female Orphan Society, £2OO ; Southwark Female Society, £lOO ; United Brethren Society £5O ; Charity Schools at Leatherhead, 19 guineas : United Charity Schools, Bermondsey, 19 guineas ; to the Vicar and Church. wardens of Leatherhead, £5OO, to be invested, and the interest applied in keeping in repair the family vault at Leatherhead; the surplus to be disposed of amongst the poor. The residue of his property he leaves to be divided equally between his sister and his cousin, the said Walter Smith. It is stated that in the course of his private in terviews with the deputations from Parma and Modena, King Victor Emmanuel urged upon them the necessity of developing the armaments of Italy. "It is not impossible," he said, "that the present situation, still critical, will com pel us to draw the sword once more; and in that case you wiil understand that I rely upon the arms of those who proclaim themselves my subjects." A RELIC.—Some men while engaged dredging in the Mersey on Tuesday fished up an old 28-pounder, which is supposed to have belonged to the man-of-war brig Pelican, which upwards of 90 years ago capsized in the Mersey. Tho "old gun" was covered with a soft earth, which in some places had the appearance of becoming fos silised. Several rare specimens of shellfish were found ad hering to the old war missile. The following letter, written by the Emperor when Prince Napoleon, was published by the National in December, 1835, and is now reproduced by some journals as not without interest :—" Arenemberg, December 11, 1835. —Several journals have stated that I am about to leave for Portugal as a pretender to the hand of Queen Donna Maria. However flattering for me may be the supposition of a union with a young, beautiful, and virtuous Queen, widow of a cousin who was thar to me. it is my duty to contradict such a rumour, since no step known to me can have given rise to it. I must even add that, notwithstanding the lively interest which is felt in the destinies of a people who have just acquired their liberties, I should refuse the honour of sharing the throne of Portugal, if by chance some persons should cast their eyes on me for it. The noble eonduct of my father, who abdicated in 1810 because he could not re concile the interests of France with those of Holland, has not been forgotten by me. My father, by his just example, has proved to me how much one's own countryis preferable to a foreign throne. I feel, in fact, that accustomed from my infancy to love my country above all things, I can pre fer nothing to French interests. Persuaded that the great name I bear will not always be a ground of exclusion in the eyes of my fellow-countrymen, since it reminds them of 1 5 years of glory, I await with calm, in a hospitable and free country, that the people will recall among them those who wore exiled in 181.5 by 1,200,000 foreigners. This hope of one day serving France as a citizen and a soldier fortifies my heart, and is worth in my eyes all the thrones of the world. —Accept, &c., NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE." siIARE MARKET.—( THIS DAY.) !Paid.

The Austrian Gazette has the following:— " If a Russian Ambassador demanded to go up the Thames with his fleet—if a French Envoy de sircd to penetrate the Scheldt with a strong squadron —the whole of Europe would raise an indignant cry, and every one would bless the arms that re sisted such an attempt. Now this is precisely, what the English and French are doing in China, and the Chinese Governor has done but his simple duty in defending his country. The whole world saw the matter in this light at once. and England her self is beginning to take the same view. Whilst the people of London are enthusiastic for nationalities, and the people of France put themselve forward as the champions of the same principle, both these na tions, at the present moment, seek to trample a people who possessed a literature when Englishmen and Frenchmen were clothed in bearskins, and civi lised Europe did not know even how to write. No nation has a right to force another to hold inter course with it, and each nation is at liberty to keep its own doors closed. But to the Chinese it is said Rascals, you must like us, you must trade with us, you must receive our Ambassadors, although you know we are but spies who desire to find out your weakness, and how we may open a passage to the heart of your empire.' The hostility of the Chinese to Europe is founded on a truly na tional sentiment, and it will not be so easy to quench it as is supposed. If France and England unite in carrying on the war we shall see the results of the Crimean campaign reproduced, and England oc cupying the second rank. The French will have another opportunity of discovering the vices of the military organisation of England, and the people of Asia will also begin to understand them. The French transports, which will have to pass by Egypt and come into contact with the English possession. in India, will not be quite promotive of British in terests. The English people, who are now crying out that Lord Palmerston is going to throw hun self and his country into the arms of the Emperor of the French, cry oat in vain. They are more moderate because they are more sensible of their weakness." THIS DAYS SHIPPING. LONDON, Sept. 24.—Wind this day at ncon, South- Westerly; moderate breeze, and fine.

The Freeman publishes the following analysis of a pamphlet issued by Professor Geoghegan, of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, in which the medical evidence in Smethurst's case is investi gated : " Professor Geoghegan arrives at the conclu sion, 'that the medical e v id ence , w h en t a k en alone, i s decisive as to the cause of death ;" but he sees no reason to admit that . the conviction was had solely on that portion of theevidence for the prosecution. 'On the contrai74 is probable, from the statements of the learns; judge, whose ability and integrity were so cwiclious on that occasion, that th e jury attached s uchT more weight to the overwhelming body of moral facts' . . ' unintelligible on any other hypothesis than that of the guilt of the accused.' After reviewing the symp toms of the murdered lady's fatal illness, and the morbid appearances discovered within the body on dissection, and which, extensive as they were, eould not have been of more than two or three weeks' standing,' the learned professor observes— 'The chemical inquiries established the presence of arsenic in one or two . of the evacuations passed about three days before death, and of antimony in the contents of the small intestine, in the ccecum, blood, and kidney. Every requisite proof was thus supplied of this being a case of poisoning ; each of the recognised sources of medical evidence in such cases—the symptoms, with the medical his tory, the morbid appearances, and the chemical re searches—furnished respectively its appropriate train of facts, the whole concurrent and harmonious.' Proceeding, then, to consider the value to be at tached to each portion of the medical evidence, and reminding us that cases of poisoning are not to be estimated by the symptoms alone, he observes, ' As regards the morbid appearances, although when. viewed alone they cannot be considered as distinc tive, yet, taken as a whole, and estimated in their nature, progress, and extent, they were clearly re ferable with much more justice to irritant poisoning than to any other disease, or rather combination of diseases. The condition of the stomach is one with which experienced observers are familiar as the result of the action of irritant poison in, one moreover,which, when unaccompanied by chronic disease of the organ, is rarely, if ever, found due to any other cause.' . . . On the whole, then, in Miss Bankes's case, the symptoms, taken together with the appearances on dissection, when viewed in their intrinsic characters and combination, and irrespec tively of chemical results, create' the strongest pos sible presumption in favour of death by poisoning. If it now be shown that the exceptions taken against the chemical department of the proof are immaterial, the strong presumption thus created becomes converted into certainty.' And then, having animadverted and disproved the futile ob jections which were made to the chemical evidence, Professor Geoghegan concludes that the evidence remains unshaken, that arsenic and antimony —not prescribed by the attendants—not normal consti tuents of the human body, and totally incapable under the circumstances of being referred to phar maceutical impurity—existed in the body of the de ceased. Accident and suicide were negatived by the general facts. The inference is plain." The medical circumstances, therefore, elicited on the Smethurst trial, when taken in their integrity and viewed in their legitimate and relative bearings, ap pear to me, says Professor Geoghegan, to establish the fact of death by poison as conclusively as in any case that has fallen within the range of my reading or experience as having formed the subject of a criminal trial.' And then as to the medical evidence, or rather conjectures and extravagant theories for the defence, he justly says The specious yet fal lacious process of dismemberment of the body of medical facts—a procedure allowable, no doubt, to members of the bar, but unworthy of those in search of truth, seems to have been almost the sole cause of the self-imposed difficulties of the newspaper critics. If the group of medical data—symptoms, appear ances, and chemical results is to be disjointed, in stead of being viewed as a consistent whole—if, in cases where all, on careful examination, are seen to harmonise, the facts are to be explained away by crowding a series of remote and isolated possibili ties into the case, the establishment of the cause of death in any charge of poisoning would be impos sible.' " It must be remembered that, in a similar mas • terly investigation of the murder committed by Kirwan, Professor Geoghegan established his guilt incontrovertibly." STRANGE CASE OF DESTITUTION. At the Nottingham Police-court, on Tuesday last, a little lad, who gave the name of Evatt, was brought up before the Mayor, havi ng b een fo u nd in a state of destitution on the previous night by the police, in High-street. The lad, who was apparently betm . 'een ten and twelve years of age, and seemed sharp and intelli gent, stated that his mother was the widow of an officer in the Ist Royal Dragoon Guards, and that he was killed at the famous cavalry charge at Balaklava, during the Russian war in 1854. His mother lived at 124, Ella-street, Pendleton, Man chester, and one morning, about a month ago, she told him to go into the street and play for an how or two. Ho did so, and retnrned in about three hours, and then was told by Mrs. Brown, the next door neighbour, that his mother had sold a ll the furniture, and had gone away with a military gentleman who had been in the habit of visiting her at her house. On hearing this he began to cry, and after remaining in the house some time he thought he would go to London and see if he could find his mother there, as they had resided at Step ney before they went to Manchester. He accord ingly set off to walk, and on his way h in e slept in barns and begged food and money to maintain him self. When he arrived London he went to the house of a person ne ar Stepney chur c h, w h om h e . knew, to inquire she knew anything about his he commenced walking back t o M anc h es t er; but mother. As she did not, after staying there a night, when he got to Market Harb oroug h h e f e ll i n with a man who said he was a currier, and who told him that if he would go with him to Nottingha m he thought ho could get hi m some w ork. He con sented to do so, in and went with the ma n to the club house Town Hall-lane, Leicester, where he slept on Sunday night. On Monday they walked to Nottingham, and when they got here the man told him to st a y aga i ns t som e posts in the new market for a sh or t ti me , and he would go and see for work and come back in about an hour. After waiting two hours the man did not return, and he therefore wandered into the town, and was f oun d b y one of the police in High-street, and tak en to the watch-house. The lad, in answer to the m ayor, said that his mother enjoyed a p ens i on o f 19 s. 6d. a wee k, and that he did not know the name of the officer who used to come ani visit hi s mo th er , but he should know him again if he should see him. The mayor. directed the lad to be sent to the union until inquiries could be m a d e i n t o th e t r uth of this extraordinary story, and directed the police to write to the W ar-office to inquire w hether any such per son was in receipt of a pension, and to other per sons whose names had been mentioned by the lad.
