The Money Market is rather quieter, the in quiries at the Bank of England as well as in other quarters being rather below the recent daily ave rage. The rates, however, continue to exhibit firmness; the continuous flow of gold into the Baia of England still encouraging the opinion that an advance may shortly take place. The principal alterations exhibited in the Bank of England ret urn f or th e wee k en d ing W e d nes d a y last, are an important decline in the reserve of notes and stock of bullion, and a reduction in the other securities.

Why, chess men, of course I—Fun. A man was recently convicted for stealing his neighbour's cow and hiding it in his cellar. It was a cowardly mode of cow •Aiding. There are ties which should never be severed, as the ill used wife said when she found her brute of a husbandhang in a hay loft. A man at Newcastle, who served four days on a jury, says he is so full of law, that it is hard work for him to keep from cheating somebody. _ . The old joke is revived about the Scotch, " Why is Scot. land so destitute of trees ? Because every Scotchman cuts his stick as fast as he is able." " I say, Bill, Jim's caged for stealing a horse I"—" Sarve him right I Why didn't he buy one and not pay for it, like any other gentleman P" What five names in the Bible represent a son ordered to get a whipping ?

A widow lady, sitting by a cheerful fire in a meditative mood, shortly after her husband's death, sighed out, " Poor fellow I how he did like a good fire. I hope he has gone where they keep good fires I" A New York paper, announcing the wrecking of a vessel near the Narrows, says—" The only passengers were T. B, Nathan, who owned three-fourths of the cargo and the cap tain's wife." A person was relating to a son:of the Emerald Isle how one of the generals had gained a victory, with only a few hundred men on his side, when Pat said—" An' he had several hundred_men on his side?"—`'Yes." " Begorra, wasn't his ribs strong." A little fellow, weeping piteously, was suddenly inter rupted by some amusing occurrence. He hushed his cries for a moment—the train of thought was broken. " Ma," said he, renewing his snuffle, and wishing to have his cry out " Ma—ugh I ugh I what was I crying about just now ?" The natives of Australia are a simple race, and their super stitions are curious. 1 hey believe that after death they re turn as white men. One of them, hanged at Melbourne, said on the scaffold, "Never mind, I jump up white fellow with plenty of sixpence. A young lady once married a man by the name of Dust against the wishes of her parents. After a short time the; lived unhappily together, and she returned to her father's house; but he refused to receive her, saying, " Dust thou art, and unto Dust Shalt thou return." A correspondent suggests that before any enthusiastic gets out to invent perpetual motion he should practice the trick of getting into a basket and lifting himself up by the handles. When he succeeds in the latter he may stand some chance of being successful in the former. The young lady who could read the following, and not " pity the sorrows of a poor young man," deserves to live and die an cld girl : " I wish I were a turkey-dove, A sitting on your knee; I'd kiss your smiling lips, love, To all e-ter-ni-tee." A young girl was introduced to James I. as excelling even learned men in classical acquirements. " Well," said the monarch, " now tell me what this prodigy can do." He was informed that she could read and write Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. "Ah I" replied the king, 'these are rare attain ments for a maid. Can she spin also ?" " In carving a partridge," said Sidney Smith, "I splashed Miss Markham with gravy from head to foot; and though I saw three distinct rills of the brown liquid trickling down her cheek, she bad the complaisance to declare that not a drop had reached her." Such circumstances are the " triumphs of civilised life." LIFEBOAT SERVICES. TEIGNMOUTTT : 11 / 4 T ^'• 19. Last night, about 11 o'clool7,—;=; l7 iii 2 i cures men on board, went ashore on Teignmouth Bar. The night was intensely dark, but the Coastguard men heard the cries of distress, and immediately put off in their own boat, but the gea was running so high and break ing so heavily on the bar, that they found it impossible to save the poor creatures. They therefore returned to the harbour as soon as possible, and gave the alarm. The life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution was instantly launched, and succeeded in saving two of the poor creatures from a watery grave. They were found to be quite ex hausted, and afterwards stated that they could not possibly have held on many minutes longer, Unfortunately, how -1 ever, one poor fellow had lost his life before he could be rescued, and had it not been for the prompt services of the lifeboat the other two men must have perished. AItKLOW, Nov. 17. Soon after eight o'clock on Saturday morning a .vessel was observed aground on the Arklow Bank, by the look.• out of the Coast-guard Station. The lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched, a portion of the Coast-guard going off in her, as the sea was too rough to admit of their own boat going out. The lifeboat reached the bank in little more than an hour. The sea was then so high that the fishing boats (several of which had gone out), could not attempt to ap proach the vessel, but the lifeboat went fearlessly and gal.. lantly through the surf. On nearing the wreck it was discovered that the crew had left her, and that she was hopelessly lost, her bulwarks being then under water. All that could be ascertained respecting her was that she was the Sarah, of Port Glasgow, and apparently anew vessel. This is the fourth wreck on Arklow Bank to which the lifeboat has been out this year, and she has been the means of saving 25 lives since she was placed at Arklow. So great is the confidence which the fishermen have in her that the only difficulty is what men to select as a crew when her services are required out•of the number who are ready to volunteer. THE NEW FIELD-MABSHALS. The following is a recapitulation of the services of the recently gazetted Field-Marshals_nighness nominal reee. of colonel, an d did duty with the 12th and the Duke of. Cambrid.er--eaaeredthe army in 1837, with the 17th I)ragoons and 33d Foot, and subsequently commanded the Dublin district. In 1852 he became colonel of the Scots Fusilier Guards. At the outbreak ~f the Russian war he proceeded with the Guards to Scutari, and subsequently commanded the first division of the army. He was in the thickest of the fight at the battles of Alma and Inkerraan, and in the latter his horse was killed under him. He was also present at Balaklava and daring a great portion of the siege of Sebastopol. On the death of Lord Hardinge his Royal Highness was appointed Commander-in-Chief—a post which he has filled with the hearty approbation of the army and the entire satisfaction of the public. Viscount Gough commenced his military career in 1794, and served at the Cape of Good Hope against the Dutch in that year. Next year he was agai n fighting in the West Indies. In the Peninsular war he commended the 87th Regiment at Talavera (where he was wounded), at Barrosa, Nivelle (wounded a second time), at Vittoria, and at the defence of Cadiz, where he was once more wounded. The 87th was fortunate enough to capture an eagle at Barrosa, and the baton of Marshal Jourdain at Vittoria, After a long period of comparative inaction, he was appointed to command the forces in China in 1842, and at the termination of hos tilities he was made a baronet and G.C.B. From 1843 to 1846 he was actively engaged against the Mahrattas and t:alths ; and the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, and Goojerat will always be identified with his name. It was after the last-named battle that this gallant officer was created a peer. He was appointed to the colonelcy of the Royal Horse Guards in 1856, and specially proceeded to Sebastopol to distribute the honours so hardly won by the army. Sr Edward Blakeney also entered the army in 1794 as cornet, but he speedily changed into the infantry, and commenced an active career in 1796 in the West Indies. In 1807 he was present at the capture of the Danish fleet and surrender of Copenhagen, and in 1809 he served at the cap ture of Martinique. In 1811 he commanded the 7th Foot, and wasp resent at the battles ofßusaco, Albuera (in the latter of which he was severely wounded), sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz (wounded a second time) ; and he was a'so en gaged at Vittoria , l' am p eluna, the P y renees and Nivelle. In 1814 he served at New Orleans, and next y ear joined the Duke of Wellington's army in Belgium.

MANSION HOUSE—YEs fERDAY. The following appeared in a portion of our impression of yesterday evening : This day, George Boucher, Robert Cummings, William Burnett, Robert Brewer, James Griffith; and Henry Wil liams were again placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, charged with being concerned in the late extensive robbery of bank note paper from the mills of Messrs. Portal, at Laverstoke, Hampshire. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of England, appeared for the prosecution, Buncher being defended by Mr. Pater, and Brewer by Mr. Lewis. The first witness called was Mrs. Ellen Burnett, who said-1 have been residing with the prisoner Burnett for some time as his wife. My name is Ellen Mills. I decline to state where I at present reside. Mr, Lewis objected to the woman giving her evidence if she persisted in refusing her address. The Lord Mayor said she had better answer the ques tion. Witness replied—Very well, my lord. lam at present staying at 16, Bridgewater-squ are , Barbican. I was ap prehended with Burnett on the 28th of October last. I have known him 10 years. I have been convicted with him for receiving stolen goods. 'We were both sentenced to four years' penal servitude. We came out of prison on the same day, the 23d of February, 1861. I went to live with him again, and we lived together till he was apprehended. We first went to reside at Whitchurch, in Hampshire, on 26th of February, 1861. We lived at Mr. Brown's beer-shop. We lived there six months. I first became acquainted with Henry Brown in March, 1861. I have a sister resid ing at Whitchurch. Her name is Collis. She lives at the Three Horseshoes at Whitchurch. It was there 1 first saw Brown. After our first meeting we saw each other very frequently. Burnett told mo to ask Brown whether he could get some paper from the mills. Mr. Lewis objected to the further examination of the witness, as she had been dismissed from her position at the bar because she was supposed to be under Burnett's influ ence, as she was looked upon in the first instance as the prisoner's wife. The Lord Mayor thought the examination ought to go on. Witness proceeded—ln consequence of my request Brown brought mo a small quantity of banknote paper. I saw it was " plain" paper, by that I mean there were no marks upon it, Mr. Lewis—When did you look at the paper ? Witness—The next day. Mr. Lewis—l contend that the identity of that paper has been destroyed, as it might have been changed in the interval. The Lord Mayor thought the evidence ought to go on. Witness---I gave the paper in the first instance to Bur nett, and I saw it again the following morning. Burnett did not say anything to me about it at the time. After we got the paper Burnett and I went to London. We stayed at 7, Melton-crescent, Euston-square. We lived there eight or nine days. Burnett used to go out alone after we got there. He did so the day after we arrived. He did not tell me what he went for. He had money in his possession when he came back. After we left Melton-crescent we re turned to Whitchurch, and put up at the Plough. I went frequently t. the Three Horse-shoes, where I met Henry Brown. While I was there Burnett and Brown often met and conversed together, but I don't know what passed be tween them. Shortly after our return to Whitchurch Burnetttold me he had received something from Brown. He said he had brought him some paper, from which I under stood it was Bank-note paper. After that Brown went with Burnett and myself to London, where we went to a public-house in Drury-lane, kept by Mr. Lees. He did not go out till the day after our arrival, when we went to a public-house at the corner of Chandos street. When we went out Burnett took the bank-note paper with him. On our return home Burnett gave Brown two sovereigns. We remained in London on that occasion two nights and one day, and then returned to Whitchurch. On our return Burnett and Brown were frequently to gether. On several occasions Burnett told me he had re ceived bank paper from Brown. Burnett did not tell me where Brown got the paper from, but 1 heard Brown tell Burnett that he had been caught taking the paper. I did not hear Brown say who it was that caught him. I heard frequent conversations between Burnett and Brown about the paper. Brown asked Burnett who he was giving the paper to, whether it was to Fred. Lancaster, because Mr. Brewer wished to know if it was so. Burnett told him it was not. After the conversation Brown brought more paper, which Burnett put with the rest in our clothes box. I recollect the day of the fire in Tooley-street. Burnett and I came to London on that day, whence we went to Strat ford, and stopped at Burnett's brothers, the Railway Hotel. While we were there Brown came, and I then obtained lodgings for ourselves and him. We stopped at Stamford six weeks, during which time Burnett went to London. I did not go with him. I know he took some of the Bank paper with him. Ile had money when he returned. I don't know whether he hal any when he went away. On leaving Stamfoid we returned to Whit- church. Brown did not go with us. Brown stayed in London because he said he was going to his sister's. I knevi from Burnett that Brown afterwards returned to Whitchurch. I saw him on the day he came down. . I our lodgings, just after Christmas, 1861, Brown c ame t o ur lodgings, which was then in Long's-court, Leioester square. He came about seven o'clock in the evening. Burnett was not at home. In consequence of what Brown told me I went to the Victoria Theatre, where I saw Burnett, I told him Henry Brown wanted to see him, as he had brought some more paper. We then returned home, when I saw Brown give Burnett the paper, and they exa mined it together. Brown stayed that night with us, the paper being put with the other in the clothes-box. Bur nett went out the next day with the paper that Brown brought. On his returning ho gave Brown some money, but I don't know how much. Brown stayed with us a day and two nights, when he left, telling me he was going to Portsmouth. About a fortnight after this Burnett left London, telling me he was going to Portsea to see Henry Brown. On his return he told me he had seen Brown, and in a short time after that I went with Burnett to Portsea in the month of March. We went to a brewery where Brown was working. We saw him working there, as also Lie lav~L~ :a 01.4/.U,), IA I BCLUCL LUiiL WSJ ua James's house. Burnett and I returned to London the same evening. I think Burnett went once again to Port sea. The next time I saw Brown was shortly after Easter, when he came to our lodgings in Thomas .street, Lambeth. I did not hear what he came up for, but he stayed with us two or three times after that. We next removed t 9 Angel-place, Blackfriars-road, and shortly after this Brown went down into the country. On his return to London he brought some more bank paper. I saw him give it to Bur nett. Burnett and Brown both went out together the night Brown came, They went out the next morning, when they returned with a joint of meat and some money. I went once with Burnett and Brown to 'Westminster. Burnett left us, but I did not see where he went. I and Brawn waited at a public-house near Tothill-street. We then went to King , street, Soho, and waited again, while Burnett went some where, and afterwards went to a butcher's shop in Tothill• strut. Mr. and Mrs. Buncher were there. Burnett and Buncher talked together, but I did not know what passed. I don't know whether he brought the paper back he took with hint, but I never saw it afterwards, Burnett on one bank paper sent me to Buncher's and gave me some I paper to take there. I gave it to the person whom un derstood was Mrs. Buncher. She gave me money deyeint know what She left the room before she gave it me. what the amount was. It was in gold. came in.

About a fortnight after this a person calling himself Cum - wings came to our place. That is the man at the bar. He asked for a person named Johnson, and I told him he had left. Burnett was then up stairs in bed. I afterwards saw Cummings in Orchard -street, Westminster. He ac costed me and asked me if I had seen " Johnson." I sail No." After this Burnett and I went to different places ; ultimately to-Whi tchurch.Recollect the reward. Sawßrown and Burnett reading the paper. In October of the present year, some days before I was apprehended, Burnett told me to go to Buncher's house to ask him to lend him some money. I saw Mrs. Buncher. She told me to call next day. I recollect the evening before I was apprehended on the 27th, Burnett went out and afterwards sent me a note telling me he should not be at home all night, as he was going to Birmingham. By Mr. Pater—lt was after the 24th or 25th of October that I went to Buncher's. On every occasion that I went I had my dealings with Mrs. Buncher, but Buncher used to come into the room. I never received anything from him but the joints of meat. I was convicted with Barnett in 1857 in the Central Criminal Court. James Sankey, a policeman, was convicted with us. It was not for bur glary. . Mr. Burnett—Mr. Freshtield, I hope you'll stop that. it has nothing to do with the case. Mr. Freshfield—The witness is in the h,.nds of the Lord Mu or. \'‘ &ions, in 1854, for stealing a gold watch from a gentleman. I was living apart from Burnett at the time. I have always passed as Mrs. Burnett. I never was called Mrs. Mills. That I swear. Mr. Pater--Have you never given the name of Williams; now, were you not convicted at the Middlesex Sessions in that name? Witness—Well, now, I recollect I was convicted in that name. It quite slipped my memory. I own the mistake at once. Mr. Pater—Have you not given the name of Ellen Day as being yours ? Witness —Not in court. I have been called "Day." I am at present living under the survpillance of the police. I first spoke to Sergeant Mcss about this matter. My objeQt Wad Cot one of reward, Mr. Pater —Was it not for the purpose of obttduing shorter term of imprisonment for Burnett. Witness—No, NuthiniiofihekTud has been held to me by the police. But I do hope through my evidence that may be the result. Examination continued —My statement was first taken down by Sergeant Moss. I did not relate it all at once. I stated part of it to Inspector Hamilton and Sergeant Moss. Mr. Pater—Then it was cooked up between you. Mr. Freshfield interposed. Mr. Pater—Moss, Hamilton, and you, I suppose, agroeil what was,to be taken down, and it' that is not cooking I don't know what is. Mr. Freshfield—The witness is anxious to speak the truth, and I think the application of the term "cooked," as it is understood in the City of London, is highly im proper. Alderman Cubitt—The police have had a very difficult duty to perform, and supposing there had been 20 inter views with the witness, and after that had reduced the information to writing, it could not be called "cooking." Cross-examination continued—l have not had frequent interviews with Burnett while he was in prison. Cummings, to witness—When I came that morning you speak of, did you not tell me that Johnson was gone to work ? Witness—No ; I said he had left, but I thought my hui. band could find him. Cummings—When you saw me in Westminster, was it not near the White Horse ? Witness—l don't know. You were with somebody, but I did not hear what you were speaking about. Cummings—Now we only want the truth. Do you mean to say I accosted you first in Westminster, or did you not recognise me, Witness—l !Right have made a mistake about that. I won't be certain, but you seemed to recognise me as soon as I saw you. Cummings—Did you ever see me and Burnett ir, ex,7lVer sation in your life. Witness—No, never. The evidence of Smith, City detective, who accompanied Sergeant Moss to Mrs. Campbell's, at Stratford, was next given. It was merely a repfAition of that given on the last examination, when Moss said he heard Buncher say that he had got £30,000• of the right stuff, and the --- Bank of England could not touch him. Ile also said that when Burnett was arrested in Birmingham he denied alI knowledge of the robbery. While he was conveying Bur nett to London, while waiting at Rugby for the train, he (the prisoner) became much excited, and exclaimed two or three times, "I am a persecuted man. If 1 find they have rounded upon me, I'll let the whole lot into the hole." After lie had conveyed Burnett to the Mansion house he said, in reference to the detention of his wife, " It's a pity you should have Nelly here ; you had better make her evidence." Caroline Finch—l assist my uncle at the Bull's Head, Moor-street, Birmingham. I recollect Cummings hiring a bed there in August last. A few days after that Burnett came and asked if an old man named Cummings WAS stay ing there. I said there was. He also hired a bed. I after wards saw them both together in conservation, after 'which they went out. They took their breakfast together, and while they were so engaged a young man called, and they all went out together. Burnett, having paid his bill, left, but Cummings remained till the following Monday. I saw Burnett again in Birmingham in about three weeks after this. Alderman Cubitt — Cummings, do you wish to question the witness ? Cummings—No, I've nothing to say to her. Sarah Hazel—l keep a lodging-house in Birmingham. I recollect Cummings and Burnett coming to my house in August last. They asked for something to eat. After this they went up to a room on the second floor, and then I heard them quarrelling. I went up stairs a few minutes after, and then I saw Burnett getting up from the floor, He (Burnett) told me Cummings had been trying to strapgle him. Burnett went out, but Cummings stopped a short time after he had left. I saw them both on the fol lowing afternoon. Cummings—when you saw me, was I drunk or was I sober ?—Drunk. William Darby, a cab driver in Birmingham, identified Cummings and Burnett as the persons who had hired him to drive them to the London and North-Western 16ilsvay Station. Alderman Cubitt—Do you wish to ask any questions P Cummings—No. I don't recollect anything about it; I was too drunk. Mr. Freshfield said that was all the evidence he proposed offering to-day. On the next occasion he hoped he should be able to close his case against the prisoners. Cummings—l should like to know whether any more evidence is to be brought against me, as I think I ought to have a legal adviser. I ought to know. They've been long enough about this case. Alderman Cubitt said there was no objection to a legal adviser appearing for Cummings, if he wiahed to The prisoners were then remanded till this day week. CREA7' FIRE IN W11TT.p777,7--ix,o• At a few minutes before five o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke out at William•sireet, Whitefriars, on the Mid dlesex side of the Thames. The premises destroyed arc those of Messrs. Charles Price and Co., of William-street, Whitefriars, described in "Kelly's London Directory" as turpentine, resin, pitch, and tar manufacturers, and are im mediately behind the western side of Chatham-place, closely adjoining the Temple, and within a few yards of the City of London Gas Company, whose gasometer at tho time of the fire was completely full. It was a low tido when the fire broke out, and the oil from the factory ran out in large quantities on to the muddy bank. It soon took fire, and half the river appeared to be in flames; indeed, the flames rolled through the arches of Blackfriars-bridge, and curled over it, much to the dis advantage of many persons who had taken up their position there, and apparently very much to the danger of the crazy old structure. At a quarter to 6, Campbell, Calder, and Govan's iron works took fire, and burned with tremendous fury. At this moment the fears for the safety of the gasworks becamo heightened to a very great degree. The engines now continued to arrive in rapid succession, but the close proximity to the immense telescopic gasometer seemed to add a terror to the scene that seemed to damp even the courage and spirit of the fire brigade. The land steam engine of Messrs. Shand and Mason arrived in about 20 minutes after the outbreak of the fire, and in a very short time was got into operation, but the effect produced from the immense volume of water dis charged was imperceptible. t whichly occupied tim e fr omthe fi t r h e e i w r a a s r r l i v - c e - a l until l g o l tu h n e t d e fi r e n r :o nl ' a c n e l n cl o c a wk l l ear f te u n r i t ni h gc e he r ts'saant dan ger at an end. A few of the casks of oil were got out of the burning warehouses and rolled into William-street; but with this exception the whole of the valuable stock was consumed. It is impossible to estimate the value of the property destroyed, but it will probably amount to £40,000 or ZO,OOO. Messrs. Price were insured, but the loss will, it is expected, far exceed the amount of the insurance, These warehouses of Messrs. I Price were destroyed by fire 17 years ago, when several explosions took place, and some of the firemen lost their lives. At 12 o'clock last night all fear of the further spread of the fire being at an end, Capt. Shaw, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Hod ges, and a body of the Brigade, made as close an in spection of the ruins as possible, but the intense heat thrown out from the still burning ruins, and the dangerous condition of the walls of the destroyed warehouses, made this a work of great difficulty and danger. It was found that, the fire was still raging fiercely in the vaults running under the warehouses, and it was again found necessary to bring the brigade steam engines, and also that of Mr. Hodge, into operation, and at one o'clock this morning large bodies of water were being poured into the premises without making any perceptible diminution in the flames, which were shooting up with great force in all directions. Mr. Arthur Price, the resident partner in the firm, with a large staff of his clerks and workmen, were rendering every assistance to the firemen. During the height of the fire it appears several of the firemen were severely injured by the falling debris, and three of them engaged in playing on the backs of the houses in Chatham-place from the roof of Mr. Capol's coal depot, were at once completely in a dense cloud of smoke, and narrowly escaped w ith their lives. All the books of the firm were saved , but wo r e much damaged by water and removal. en veloped The origin of the fire cannot yet be ascertained, but it is thought to have arisen from spontaneous combustion.
