AQUA TICS. GREAT SCULLER'S MATCH.-(THIS DAY.) The great contest between Hamerton and Drewitt come off this afternoon over the usual course, viz., from Putney Mortlake. The start took place at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock. Hamer ton having won the choice of stations, took the Middlesex shore, and Drewitt of course had the opposite side. Old Jack Phelps piloted the former, and Kelly performed the same office for Drewitt. The start was very excellently effected, bttt after a few vigorous strokes Drewitt seemed to have the advantage. Off Searle's Drewitt by some very excellent rowing had drawn himself quite clear of his oppo nent, who appeared to be making most tremendous efforts to overhaul him. At Craven Cottage Drewitt had increased his lead to two clear lengths. This being considered a very critical point for testing the powers of the respective efforts, the rowing was considered by competent judges to be very wide, but as they approached the Crab Tree Drewitt in creased his lead to three lengths, but Hamerton put on a spurt, and went through Hammersmith Bridge with a winning lead. At Barnes' Bridge he had increased his advantage, and won the match by about 20 lengths—doing the distance in 24 minutes 35 seconds. Betting at starting 6 to 4 on Hamerton, who was backed for a very large sum of money. Messenger was umpire for Hamerton, and Tom White fulfilled the same office for Drewitt. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The directors of the Bank of England issued a notice yesterday afternoon, subsequent to the offi cial hours of business, that the minimum rate of discount had been carried at once to 5 per cent. This movement, it appears, was found to be expe dient in consequence of extensive withdrawals of gold, and an important augmentation in the demand for money in expectation of an alteration next Thursday. It appears that about £300,000 was taken from the vaults of that establishment in the course of the day, and that .£200,000 will immediately follow, so that the next Gazette return may be expected to show a large diminution in the stock of bullion. Had the alteration been made known in the midst of business, some confusion would no doubt have en sued; but the hour at which the authorities an nounced their decision has enabled the commercial classes to give due consideration to the altered state of affairs before they resumed transactions this morning. Nevertheless, the event has produced some excitement, and at the Stock Exchange con siderable depression prevails, while in trading circles operations have been partially suspended. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, only a very small amount of business was transacted, and prices were a shade lower. The sales were only 4,000 bales. There is a very active demand for money at the enhanced quotations, and capitalists are exhibiting increased caution, a further advance not being con sidered improbable. The Bank and discount houses are making the usual increase in their allowance of interests on deposits. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight advance in the rates on Am sterdam, Paris, and Hamburg. The City of Manchester has arrived from New York with £30,000 in specie. The interest on the Sardinian 5 per Cent. Loan of 1851, will be paid on and after the Ist proximo. The English Stock Market, as already intimated, has been unfavourably affected by the disturbed condition of monetary affairs. Consols have de clined to 923 93 for money, and 93 to 931 for the account. It is reported that a large quantity of gold has been withdrawn from the Bank to-day, and an unsettled feeling prevails, but the speculators are not disposed to effect extensive sales. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced have declined to 911 ; Long Annuities to 16 1-16th ; Exche quer Bills to 4s. and 2s. dis. ; India Loan is heavy at 1033 1 ; and the Debentures at 94 A moderate amount of business is 'recorded in the Foreign Securities, and prices show increased depression. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711; ditto New, 561 to 57; Mexican remain at 211; Brazilian 5 per Cents. have receded to 98 ; Buenos Ayres l 0 951 ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 1051; and Spanish to 401 ; but Sardinian are firmer at 87. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 14 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, I 3 prem.; and the Universal, / b 2 prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been moderately active, but connected in a great measure with the liquidation of the account now in Progress. Prices have shown considerable depression, amounting, in some instances, to 1 and 1 1 per cent. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Mid lands, and North British declined 10s. ; Great Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, and Brighton £1 ; and North Eastern (Ber wick), Li 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also shown a downward movement.

This cause came on to be mentioned this morning. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l have read the affi davits in this case, but as very little re:iance can be placed on the statements made, I must make the usual decree for taking accounts at chambers, and when I see the state of accounts I will state any circumstances arising in the evi dence. Decreed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING POSTAGE STAMPS AT MESSRS. CHAPPELL'S. —George Roberts, 17, errand boy to Messrs. Thomas Chappell and Co., the well known music publishers of New Bond-street, was charged with stealing a large quan tity of postage stamps, the property of his master. Mr. Chappell said that for some time past he had missed a large quantity of postage stamps from a drawer in the warehouse, and last night he caused £3 worth to be placed there, first marking several of them, and at 12 at night, after everybody had left, saw them safe. This morning about 9, in consequence of being informed that the prisoner was seen to go to the place and go out, he told the prisoner that he felt certain he had been robbing him, as no one else had been behind the counter up to that time. He then began to cry, and took him to a place where he had hid them in the cellar, and he (Mr. Chappell) then found them behind some packing cases. The number was 477, all penny stamps, and on examining them he found they were the same as those he had marked. He asked him how he unlocked the till, and he said his brother had given him two keys, ono of which unlocked the till, and that it was secreted among some music, where it was found. The value of the stamps was £1 19s. 9d. Within the last week he had missed £6 worth, and the prisoner had told him that his brother met him and took the stamps from him. William Smith, in the employ of Messrs Chappell, said he assisted in marking the stamps, and placed them in the till and locked it. This morning, about eight, as soon as the prisoner came, he went behind the counter and took the stamps from the till, and he gave information to Mr. Chap pell. The stamps produced are the same that he assisted in marking the day previous with Mr. Chappell. He also found the key that opened the till in the place mentioned by the prisoner. A constable proved that the prisoner at the station ad mitted taking the stamps, and finding one sovereign and two half crowns in his possession. THIS DAY'S _MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Only a limitad supply of English wheat was on offer to - day, but its general quality was tolerably good. The best samples of both red and white sold at Monday's currency, but other kinds were very dull, and drooping in price. Foreign wheat, the supply of which was large, was a dull inquiry, at barely previous rates. Floating cargoes were heavy, but not offered on lower terms. The show of barley was in excess of the demand, which was much restricted, at barely previous currencies. The malt trade was tolerably firm. In prices, however, no change took place. We had a fair demand for the best oats, at very full prices, but damp parcels were heavy, at late rates. Both beans and peas commanded fully previous rates, but the flour trade was heavy. Country markets were the turn lower. Al nivaLs THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

SHOCKING CASE OF CHILD MURDER.—lnfor mation has been given to the police which leaves little reason to doubt that an infant male child has been mur dered by its inhuman parent in a most brutal manner. It appears that a con stable of the B division, while on duty in Hyde-park, discovered a deal box about 2 feet long and 7 inches deep, and on its being opened the body of an infant male child was discovered. On an examination being made its skull was found to be smashed, and there were marks of mutilation about the body, showing it had been the subject of most atrocious: brutality. A few minutes pi uvious to the finding of the body two females, dressed in black cloaks with hoods, black bonnets and veils, were seen near the spot, and on leaving were seen to go in the direction of Hyde Park-corner. The body was taken by the police to St. George's workhouse, where it awaits an in quest.

TILE NEW G.C.B. AND K.C.B. Major-General Sir James Hope Grant, K.C.8., whose elevation to the highest rank of the Order of the Bath ap peared in the Gazette of Saturday in our columns, is the fifth son of the late Francis Grant, Esq., of Kilgraeton and Pitcaithly, North Britain, the head of one of the best of the old "county families" of Perthshire ; his mother was Anne, eldest daughter of Robert Oliphant, Esq., of Rossie, Post master -General of Scotland. He was born on the 18th of January, 1808, and entered the army as cornet in 1826. He served in China under the late Lord Saltoun, and sub sequently in India under Lords Gough and Hardinge. Ho was present at the battle of Sabraon, where he commanded the 9th Lancers, as also in the Punjab in 1858-9. He was also present at the engagements of Ramnuggur, Chilian wallah, and Goojerat, and took an active part in the sup pression of the India mutiny in 1857-8, for his services on which occasion he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. He became a major general in the army in 1858. His recent ser vices in China are too well known to our readers to need being repeated here. Sir James, according to the County Families, married in 1847 Ellen, daughter of Mr. B. Tayler.—Rear-Admiral J. Hope, C. 8., of Carriden, county Linlithgow, who is now elevated, for his services in China, from the second to the first division of the same most honourable order, is the only son of the late Rear-Adcairal Sir G. Johnstone -Hope, K.C.B. (son of the Hon. C. Hope- Vere, of Craigio-hall, and grandson of the first Earl of Hopetoun), by his first wife, the Lady Jemima Hope-John stone, sth daughter of James, 3d Earl of Hopetoun. He was born on the 3d March, 1808, and married in August, 1838, the Hon. Frederica Eliza Kinnaird, second daughter of Charles, eight Lord Kinnaird in the Peerage of Scotland, but was left a widower in May , 1856 . He entered the Royal Naval College in 1820, joined his first ship in 1822, aad having served on the West Indian and Mediterranean stations was promoted to lieutenant in 1827. He escorted Lord William Bentinck to India in 1828, became flag-lieu.. tenant to the late Admiral Lord Northesk in the follow ing year, and subsequently was employed on the West Indian and North American stations in command of the Racer, 16. He obtained the rank of Captain in 1838, and in November, 1845, while in command of the Firebrand steam-frigate, he enacted a conspicuous part in the battle of Parana, where a hard day's fighting resulted in the de struction by the combined squadrons of England and France of four heavy batteries belonging to General Roses at Punta Obligado, as also of a schooner carrying 6 guns, and of 24 vessels chained across the river. "On that occasion having volunteered," says O'Byrne in his " Naval Biography," " Captain Hope gallantly pulled up in his boat and cut the chain which impeded the upward progress of the allies. At the close of the action he landed as aide-de-camp to the late Captain Sir Charles Hotham, the senior British officer, and assisted in giving the coup de pace to the defeat of the enemy, whose numbers originally consisted of 3,500 men, in cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and whose batteries had mounted 22 pieces of ordnance." As a reward for his bravery on this occasion he was nominated a Companion of the Bath in April, 1846. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST .EVENING. PRINCE OF WALES COUNCIL CHAMBER, BUCKINGHAM-GATE, Nov. 10.

Immediately on the receipt of the ship's orders she was taken in tow by two steam tugs, and towed out of harbour to Spithead, getting up her own steam on the way. The wind at the time of her sailing was from the N.E., with thick weather, the Mersey frigate, at anchor at Spithead, being barely distinguishable from the shore during the day.

The motion having been seconded by Corporal Hal). selem, was carried with great cheering. Sergeant Moorhouse moved the third resolution—" That this Western Central Company of the 20th Middlesex Volunteer Rifles deserves the support of all persons in the district, and this meeting resolve to promote its efficiency by giving it all practical support, and recommending the enrolment of all residents in its ranks." Ensign Jeffery, in seconding the motiola, said it seemed strange to Englishmen, living uudc a golden rule, that other great nations allowed themselves to be ruled over by despots, and go verned by one man, but it was so, and as long as such things existed England hada duty to perfor m, and that was self-preservation. We must be fully prepared to encounter any foe daring enough to place his foot upon the holy soil of Britain. Voo many of our countrymen were of that opinion that numbers had enrolled themselves in a noble band, now known as the Volunteer Army of Old Ent,:- land. He concluded by observing that the corps possessed many special advantages. The uniform was cheap and serviceable, and members co u ld p:my for it by weekly or monthly instalments. The tion was then agreed to. A great many names hex ing been enrolled, the meeting separated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. During the evening the band of the regiment played with good effect. The members of No.l Company Ist Surrey Rigel met at the Government Range, Plumstead, on tbe 3d inst. to fire for a steel barrelled rifle, given by the captain of the company, and second and third prizes of £6 and £3, firing five rounds a t 200 yards, and five rounds at 300 yards.

On the 10th inst. the ties were fired or, and Mr. Jameson gained the first prize by one point in three rounds fired, Mr. Gregory receiving the second, and Mr. Rouse the third prize. A strong company of 135 working men, in the employ of the Messrs. Broadwood, pianoforte makers, have lately joined the Queen's.(Westmins ter) Rifle Volunteers, which now numbers upwards of 1,640 effectives of all ranks. At a meeting held on Monday night of the com mittee appointed to negotiate respecting a successor to Major-General Downing, Major-Commandant of the Paddington Rifle Volunteer Corps, Vice-Chan cellor Kindersley in the chair, it was considered. extremely desirable to make it known that this corps was in want of a commanding officer, but that it was not desirable to do so by advertisement A letter has been addressed by the Earl De Grey and Ripon to Lieut.• Col. Briggs, Commander of the Ist battalion of the West Riding Volunteers, ac cepting the colonelcy of the battalion. In the account of the Norwich Rifle competition, published in The Sun of Thursday, it was stated that the number of competitors was 62—it should have been 103. The number 62 referred to the first day's proceedings only, 41 gentlemen entering the lists on the second day. THE ARMY. A circular memorandum was yesterday received by Capt. Gordon, Principal Military Storekeeper of the Arsenal, Woolwich, to the effect that Mr. Secretary Herbert, with the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury, had much pleasure in communicat ing the decision of the Government with reference to the increased pay of the temporary clerks at tached to his department. He had now the satisfac tion t• announce that the salaries of that service able branch of the establishment would be regulated on a progressive scale of augmentation, at the rate of £lO per annum after the first two years' service, £2O after three years, and £4O after four years, at which period they would attain the maximum— namely, £l4O. Many of those who thus benefit by the new and salutary regulation, having joined the service during the late Russian war, will enter upon the maximum rate at once. This is a boon which has been long expected. The hired transport Sultana, Commander Arthur Sharp, engaged for the conveyance of war stores and troops to Hong Kong, yesterday hauled off into the river from Woolwich Pier, in consequence of her depth, to await further orders for the shipment of harness and military clothing, as well as the em barkation of the troops ordered to take place yester day, but which it is stated will probably be cancelled, in consequence of the termination of hostilities in China. The troops told off for embarkation are a troop of the Ist Battalion Military Train, consisting of Lieut. Thompson, in command; Lieut. Powell, Assist.-Surg. Welsh, and 100 non-commissioned officers and rank and file, now stationed at the en campment on Woolwich-common. THE VOLUN7EER MOVEMENT. The distribution of the prizes which had been won at the recent contest at Hightown, near Li/er pool, took place on Monday night at St. George's hall. The meeting was numerously attended by the most influential inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity. The Mayor (Mr. S. H. Graves) pre sided, and on the platform there were also present Lord Stanley, M.P., Lord Elcho, Col. Wilbraham, C. 8., Lieut.-Cols. Bousfield, Gladstone, and Brown, Majors Walter, Tinley,-Halkett, &c. Down the centre of the hall there was a guard of honour, consisting of ton men from each company of the second battalion. The prizes having been distri buted by the Mayor, Col. Wilbraham mode some appropriate observations upon the volunteer move ment. Lord Stanley moved a resolution to the effect that it was desirable t hat a cou n ty association should be formed for the encouragement of the movement and the practice of tan rifle shooting. The noble lord dwelt upo n the i m portance of encourag ing the force, and g ave his opinion that this arming of the people was in its essence a movement in fa vour of the continuance of European peace. similar terms, and said there was reason for congratulation at the result of the contest at Hightown. The re solution was cordially and unanimously agreed to. Last evening a crowded public meeting was held at Holborn -hall, H o lborn-bars, for the pu r p ose o f furthering the formation of the Western Central Company of the 20 th Middlesex Rifles. Captain Houghton presided. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, said the real object in meeting that evening was to increase the number of the Western Central Company. He himself believed that the liberties of the world depended upon the independent attitude (..t England. (Cheers.) Ile did not call upon them to join the 20th Middlesex in particular, but that they should join some corps and make themselves efficient soldiers, so that they would be ready to defend their Queen and country in the time of need. People might say it would be time enough to defend the country when an attack was made; then all England would rise as one man. It would be utterly useless if they did, as they would be of no use without organisa tion. He therefore hoped that they would as soon as possible join the great national movement and become efficient members of the 20th Middlesex. Lieut. Houghton then moved—" That the volun teer movement is calculated to produce g reat . an , d , ' e inscii lasting benefit to the country by maintaining A in a proper position 413101 1 g the powers Qf-E141.°13e." MURDER AND SUICIDE. There is no large city in the Union where the crime of murder is less frequently committed than in Boston, and 'whenever a bloody deed result ing in the death of one human being at the hands of another occurs, the community is startled, and the matter becomes subject for long-continued and eager public discussion. At noon yesterday, not only in broad daylight, bit in the vicinity of one of the principal avenues of the city—where thousands pass and repass at all hours of the day—the life of a young woman, as well as that of a male companion, was attempted by one who almost succeeded in terminating his own feverish existence. The bare facts of the case, as at first revealed, are as follows :—Miss Fanny May, of prepossessing appearance, and about 17 years of age, met her former employer and the husband of her cousin, Mr. Joseph Hernandez, at the store of Reynolds, Mollendy, and Co., No. 43, Hanover street, having engaged to meet him there, as we are informed, to look over with him some disputed accounts between him and a Mr. Pratt, of ,whom he had bought goods. Miss May was employed by Hernandez to take charge of his business, and, as is said, was supposed to know something about the accounts. The bills and other papers were scat tered over the desk at which Miss May was sitting, and Mr. Hernandez appeared to be engaged with her in looking them over. • Some time was occu pied in this way, and nothing unusual attracted the attention of the other persons in the store, until Mr. Hernandez, without a particle of warning, drew a six-barrelled revolver, and, aim ing at Miss May's head, fired it. The screams of the woman and the discharge of the pistol were heard in the adjoining store, kept by Messrs. Wil son, Fairbank, and Co., and Mr. Wilson at once went in to ascertain the trouble. Miss May, who was sitting in a chair when Hernandez first fired, threw herself into the arms of her brother-in-law, Mr. C. H. Hall. A second ball was then fired at Mr. Hall, who had a narrow escape, the ball pass ing over and in close proximity to his head, and lodging in the wall. Hernandez, finding that he had failed in his attempt, suddenly turned the pis tol round, aiming at his abdomen, and fired. After wards ho swallowed a dose of arsenic, and calmly divesting himself of his coat and vest, lay down upon a box, remarking to some one who desired him to go to a carriage which had been procured to carry him home, " Let me die in peace." He was even tually conveyed to his home, N 0.32, Leverett-street, in a dying condition. Miss May was taken to her home in Aliston-street, in a carriage, by Mr. Wil son, when it was soon ascertained that she had fortunately escaped all serious injury. The ball, after striking the forehead, glanced off without in flicting any wound of a severe character. Mr. Her nandez was in a dying condition at half-Past two o'clock yesterday afternoon. In his pocket was found a letter, in which he expressed the wish that Fanny and himself should be buried together. This shows that his intention was to kill her and then. himself. The parties had been quite intimate, not withstandin g the man wa s the possessor of a wife and two children. The wife of Hernandez states that she some time since discovered informed hi it, at the same time stating that she forgave him. His wife inquired of him whether he killed himself on account of Fanny or o n account of his business. In reply he stated that it was on account of his busi ness. While he was sensible he asked for a m i n i ster to be sent for.— Beston Post.

A Customs' officer interfered, and said that he could not permit the box to pass before it was examined. The box was then conveyed to the Prince's Dock and broken open, when, to the surprise and horror of those presen t the body of a man was discovered lying upon its face. L'',lt was the body of a sailor, apparently about 30 years of age.
