RONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS CITY, Two o'CLocr. The proposed exchange of £2,000,000 of gold for silver by the Banks of England and France has already produced a much better feeling in com mercial channels, where immediate relief is:expected in consequence. As soon as the arrangement was announced it was at once perceived that the autho rities had adopted the safest expedient under the Circumstances, because it would have the effect of allaying the excitement which prevails in Paris and arrest the efflux of gold from the Bank of Eng land. The affair has naturally attracted consider able attention in all circles, and much satisfaction is expressed at the cordiality with which the two establishments have arranged measures for their Inutile accommodation. Increased confidence having been promoted in the Money Market, rather an easier tone is perceptible, although the rates remain steady, and an average business is still reported. The small quantity of bar silver by the last West India steamer (La Plata) has been disposed of at as. lid. per oz. stanlard. To-day the final payment of 25 per cent. is due On the New East Indian Railway Debentures. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. Rather more business was recorded in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices exhibited downward tendency. The sales were estimated Id between 4,000 and 5,000 bales. The Bank of England Directors, as anticipated, have made no alterations in their discount regula tions to-day. A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. S. and E. Williams, sugar agents, &c., When the liabilities were stated at £42,281, and assets at £33,620. A composition of 15g. in the Pound was proposed, but it was determined, after s ome discussion, that a committee of investigation hhould be appointed. An increased buoyancy was exhibited in the Market :for Public Securities this morning, conse quent upon continued purchases which were en couraged by the financial arrangements concluded between the Bank of England and France. Consols, therefore, advanced to 93 8 I for money, and 93t for the account ; they are now, however, a shade flatter, being 931 a and 93a I respectively. A few Wes in realisation of profits probably produced this alteration. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have advanced to 911 2 ; Bank Stock is heavy, at 232 and 233 ; India ditto remains at 2221 and 2241; ditto New Loan is firmer, at 103?, ; 1 ; ditto 4 per Rupee Paper has receded to 961 ; ditto 5 per Cent. ' B ' 6 ; and the 51 per Cent. , 100 1 , sho w in g no C hange. In the Foreign Market a moderate business has T urkish transacted, and prices are well s u pp orted. ' kurkish 6 per Cents. are 73 to 731 for the Old, 44 d 58 to 581 for the New; the 4 per Cents. have improved to 1011 ; Mexican, to 21i 22 ; Sardinian, to 87i ; Spanish, to 01 ; and ditto Deferred, to ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. are steady at 100. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up r " this day, are in round figures as under :- 1860. 1859.

A Turin letter of the 18th says :—" I have already mentioned that Garibaldi would be on the scone again ere long. I find a further proof of that assertion in a letter dated from Caserta, Nov. 6, and addressed by himself to the cammittees of as sistance, the same which organised the expedition to Sicily. Here it is Brethren, you have well served the country; Italy owes in part to your efforts the deliverance of its southern provinces. Do not separate ; do not leave your undertaking incomplete. What you have done for Naples and Sicily you must also accomplish for Rome and Venice. The artifices and meanoesses of others should stimulate your zeal instead of discouraging you. The end must be attained. You will see me ever ready to hasten to the spot whore the standard of Italy and Victor Emmanuel shall be raised.' This language is clear and precise, and you may be certain that it will be attended to by the persons to whom it is addressed." LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Vice-Chancellor.) IN RE WILDMAN'S TRUSTS.-ZUDGMENT. His Honour, in delivering judgment said,—The point in this case is whether the portions of the sum of £5,400 settled by the testator on his children, gives a vested inte rest in the grandchildren who survive their parents, or whether it forms part of the residuary estate of the testa tor. The portions to the younger children, four in num ber (a son and three daughters), the testator gave £l,OOO to each with an additional sum of .13,000 to one of his daugh ters, and in case any of them dying without issue, her share shall be divided amongst the survivors, and if any of them die leaving issue, the issue shall take the share of their respective parents so dying. His Honour, on the authority of the decided cases of Lyon v. Car, 59 Vessey's Reports (V.C. Shadwell) ; M'Gregor, 2 Collier, Berst's Trustees, 3 Key and John stone (V.C. Park), held that the shares of the ehildren predeceasing vested in the grandchildren surviving, and decreed accordingly. JUDGMENT-VAUGHAN V. THE SOUTH METROPOLITAN CEMETERY COMPANY. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—The question here turns on the claims described as the sums payable by the defendants, the Metropolitan Cemetery Company, to the plaintiff, the incumbent of St. Matthew's, for removal of the burial of the dead from that parish to the Metropo litan Cemetery. His Honour, on considering the Acts of Parliament 29 Geo. 111., and 2 and 3 Viet., and 6 and 7 Will. IV., cap. 14, sustained the plaintiff's claim, and de creed ae,corclingly without costs. The accounts are payable on demand. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. BROTHER JONATHAN DONE.—CORN CUTTING.—An American, who stated that he had only just arrived from New York, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant said that seeing an advertisement in a paper relativo to cutting of corns, the address—Regent's Quadrant, and being troubled with them, he went to aso address, where, finding by an announcement outside that the person was corn-cutter to her Majesty, he allowed the person to operate on one foot on which was a corn, which the operator out into three pieces and showed him. The operator then said, " You had better let me see your other foot, perhaps you have one there." He told him that never pained him, but on showing it to him he found on it a corn, which he also cut into three pieces. He then asked what was to pay, and was told six guineas. He did not altogether feel dissatisfied with this, thinking the person meant dol lars,but was afterwards told guineas. He paid six sovereigns, not being well aware of the nature of English money, when he was told six shillings more were required. This also ho paid, not liking, as he was before the corn-cutter to Royalty, to decline doing so. Ho afterwards, however, feeling con vinced he was " done," spoke to a friend, who said he had been imposed on, and .he wished for the magistrate's ad vice. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the applicant said that it being late in the evening he did not know whether the ad vertisement expressed the amount of charge or not. _ _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt informed the applicant that ho had better look again to the advertisement, but he did not think he could help him. _ . _ The applicant thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. ROBBERY ON THE My - Ea.—Elizabeth Kesterton, aged 27, and Sarah Austin, 44, were brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a purse containing five sovereigns and a half sovereign, the property and monies of Thomas Smith, an engineer, of 35, Rotherhithe Wall. The prose cutor and the two women were ferried across the river in a boat yesterday morning by a waterman named Richard Padthow, and as the prosecutor was about to land he took a penny out of his purse to pay the faro, and dropped Ulm purse containing the gold on the seat. After he had lei the boat the waterman saw the purse on the seat, and called after the prosecutor as loud as he could bawl, and said, " Here is your purse, come back." The prosecutor was rather deaf, and did not hear, and walked away from the plying place. The pri ironer Austin immediately pioked up the parse, and said—" It belongs to me." She put it in her pocket, and both prisoners left the boat. Smith missed his purse soon afterwards, and returned to Execution Dock-stairs, where he lan dod and made known his loss to the waterman. Padetow told him what ho had seen, and the police were comm unicated with. Police-sergeant Stimpsou, No. 21 K, ascertained the address of the pri soners, and went to No. 'l, Samuel-street, St. George's-in the-East, where he found the prisoners, and told them they were in a boat in the morning and had stolen a purse con taining £5 lOs in gold. The charge was met with a blank denial, but on IStimpson informing the woman he should take them into custody, Austin admitted she had picked up the purse, az 01 took him to a house in the same street where shepointed toa placein which three sovereigns were deposited, and sai id that was a portion of the stolen money. The officer ascertained that the prisoner Austin had been making purchases of new clothing with a portion of the money—Stimpson took 12s. from her. Mr. Yardley remanded Austin until Saturday, and dis charged Kesterton. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. IMIERIAL WEEKL - f AVERAGES.

A meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday at the office of the society, Trafalgar-square, Mr. Baker, treasurer, in the chair. The minutes of the last court having been read and confirmed, the following cases were recommended for the award of the silver medal of the society, and referred to the next general court :—To Capt. Edward Hardinge, of her Majesty's ship Persian, a son of General Hardinge, for saving a boy of his ship who accidentally fell overboard while on pas sage from the Cape to the Mauritius on the 20th of July last. It appears that on the evening of the 20th of July the ship experienced a severe gale of wind, during which the little boy fell overboard. On hearing his cry for help Captain Hardinge im mediately directed the first lieutenant to have the ship hove to, and, running to the life-buoy, tried to let it go. The portfire attached to the life-buoy lighted, but the buoy hung ; a rope was then thrown to the child, who caught it, but the headway of the vessel dragged him under water, and he let go the rope. The gallant captain at once jumped into the sea in his uniform, and succeeded in reaching the boy and holding him up for some time, but the windblow ing heavily, and there being a very rough sea on, he was obliged to relax his hold ; he, however, again grasped him by his hair, and ultimately saved him. To Lieutenant W. R. Kennedy, RN., of her Majes ty's ship Wasp, for saving John Sier, ablebodied sea man, who accidentally fell overboard at sea ; and to Wrn. F. Harton, medical student, for saving Matilda Broadhead, who attempted suicide by jumping into the river Shannon, Banagher, King's County, on 29th August last. Thanks on vellum were awarded to Lieut. G. L. Sullivan, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Exmouth, for saving Thomas Burke, able seaman, who accidentally fell overboard in Suda-bay on Sent. 24th. Lieut. Sullivan has already had the silver medal of the society awarded him. The bronze medal was recommended to be awarded to the fol lowing :—To Mr. W. C. Shuckburgh, midshipman of her Majesty's ship Sidon, for saving Private D. Hutchinson, Royal Marines, who fell into a dock at Mauritius on July 22d ; to Thos. Scott, acting boat swain, and Private Thomas Sanger, Royal Marines, of her Majesty's ship Sidon, for saving Richd. Ford ham, able seaman, who was blown overboard in the act of reloading a gun at the island of Mohilla on May 21st; to Thomas Hall, boy, of her Majesty's Rolla, for saving a boy in the same ship who was knocked overboard by a sail at sea on October Sth; to Charles A. Evatt, midshipman, for saving John M'Donald, who fell into Bullock harbour, Dalkey, near Dublin, on September 11th; to Jas. Haining, blacksmith, for saving Mary Bryden, who acciden tally fell into the river Kinnel, Dumfriesshire, on October sth ; to Thomas L. Harris, clerk, for saving Eliza O'Shea, who attempted suicide by jumping into the river Liffey, Dublin, on October 7th ; to WM. Vince, fisherman, for saving George Baker, fisherman, whose boat was swamped by the sea off Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on October 15th ; and to James Watson, fisherman, for saving a mariner who fell from the pier into the harbour at Dunbar on November 7th. Thanks on parchment were awarded to James G. Bryant, draper's assistant, and a mem ber of the 4th Tower Hamlets Rifles, for saving Emily Giddens, who fell into the New River, High bury, on October 6th. Pecuniary rewards, amount ing to £4, were also given for other meritorious conduct, but of less importance than the above, and some routine business having been disposed of, the proceedings terminated. SHAKESPEARE AND PROFESSO.I? ANDERSON. AN IMAGINARY CONVERSATION. BY E. P. H. 'WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR—Secundus. Tlme-3fidnight. Location—Philadelphia. Shakespeare (stopping suddenly in front of Independence Hall to look at the poster announcing Professor Anderson's last six. nights in Philadelphia)—" What black magician conjures up this ?"—Richard M., Act 1. The Professor (bowing respectfully)—The "Wizard of the North"—your servant, most illustrious shade l Such posters were unknown to you in the days of the old Globe Theatre. Tho world has moved on since then. This is my last week in Philadelphia. My children and I have our benefits coming off. I am about to introduce some new wonders ; and I eats do it, you know. Shakespeare.—(Tiraon of Athens ; prologue.) " Ay, that's well known : But what particular rarity ? What strange, Which manifold record not matches? See Magic of bounty I All these spirits thy power Bath conjured to attend." The Professor—lt has, great poet ; and a nice time I have had with these same spirits. Your own Prospero, you remember, was troubled with only ono Ariel, one Cali ban, and one Trinculo. I have had double that number to take round the world with me ; commanding their services before kings and princes in all parts of the earth. Shakespeare—(Astonished.) (Winter's Tale, Act 5.) O royal piece, There's magic in thy majesty I And thy admiring daughter 1" The Professor—So the world says, great dramatist. Oblige me, if you please, by reading therlist of wonditrs I have prepared for my last week. Shakespeare—(Smiling compliance, reading and becom ing astonished.) (Othello, Act 1.) " What conjuration and what mighty magic In faith 'tis strange—'tis passing strange l'' The Professor—You would say so, if you could but spare two hours on earth to come and see me. Oh, if I could but get you to write me a bill 1 I have been thinking of calling uponthe Spiritualists to find a mediumwho could command your presence and solicit you to aid me. Only I have had my fears that Charles Knight and Payne Collier would call in question the authenticity of your spirit -writing. Shakespeare—(Shaking his head.) (Hamlet, Act 1.) " But this eternal blazon must not be." The Professor—l suppose not. You could not do it to oblige. I know there are many difficulties in the way. I hope, however, that the nature of my art, partaking as it does of the thaumaturgic rather than the necromantic, would be no bar to your kindness. My entertainment is composed of— Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act 3)—" Thy natural magte and dire property." The Professor—Precisely so, immortal bard. Your words are most apt. Oh that you would write me an advertise ment ! 'You know me well enough to do it, if you might. I am sure of that. Shakespeare (As You Like It, Act s)—" I know you are a gentleman. I speak not this that you should bear a good opinion of my knowledge, insomuch I say, I know you are ; neither do I labour for a greater esteem than may in some little measure draw a belief from you to do yourself good, and not to grace me. Believe then, if you please, that (like you) I can do strange things. I have since I was three years old conversed with a magician most profound in his art, and yet not damnable." The Professor—Yet magicians wore thought to be so when you were three years old, most illustrious bard. Opinions, however, have changed : as, for instance, I had . . three thousand of the fairest and best of citizens visit me nightly for three weeks in New York, and I have had fif teen hundred a night come to see me in Philadelphia. Some at 60 cents and some at 25 cents. Shakspeare ( Winter's Tale, Act. 6) (With profound admiration.) " If this be magee, let it be an art Lawful as eating." The Professor (looking out of one eye)—You'd turn Wizard yourself, perhaps, if you could return to earth in propria persona. As it is, can you not come in your in. corporeality to see me one evening before I have Philadel phia next Saturday ? Like your own Prospero, I have a Miranda in the person of my eldest daughter, who is both a clairvoyante and a retro-reminiscent orthographist. Shakespeare.—(Othello, Act 1.) " What ! " Thou has enchanted her, For I'll refer me to all things of sense, If she in chains of Inagie is not bound." _ The Professor.—" Natural magic," as you before said. Notlaing diabolical. In fact, there is nothing of the kind in any entertainment. I have had archbishops and bishops to see me. The orthodoxy of my doings is therefore clear. May I repeat my request, that you will favour me with a ghostly visit ? Shakespeare.—(Macbeth, Act 3.) "Get you gone, And at the pit of Acheron Meet me i' the morning." The Professor.—Beg pardon. The "pit of Acheron," did you say ? I'd prefer the parquet of Concert Hall. Shakespeare (appreciating the joke).—(Mabeth, Act 3.) " Your vessels and your spells provide, Your charms and everything beside. A night I'll spend." The Professor.—Thanks I—a thousand thanks. But it must bo before Saturday night next. On Sunday morning my Psychomanteum will be packed away for Baltimore. Shakespeare.—Humph I (Antony and Cleopatra, Act 3.) " The noble ruin of your magic." The Professor.—Just so. Apt again in your quotations from your own great works. As I said, I have to visit Baltimore, and Shakespeare (Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 2)— wot of Master Ford ?" I believe. v P e r . o fe ge o a r nch l i lopen s shall l l h e i expect pthecetatsrpeiriintalloiluidtiamya-stitorneeotf, yo u r seeing m y a last mn night h a at there.

It was necessary, however, to open the line in order to organise it and ht the public know that traffic both in passengers and in goods might be conveyed. The directors had entered into an agreement with the Danube Navigation Company and the Austrian Lloyds to call regularly at Kustendjie and Tcherna voda, so that communication was now established throughout to Constantinople. Several other com panies had proposed to call at their stations, which would extend their operations to other parts of the Black Sea. Mr. SLOtS said he supposed the two companies named had acceded t• the terms offered by the board. The CHAIRMAN replied that they had. He added that the directors would recommend the raising of £50,000 by means of the unissued shares for the purpose of carrying on the harbour works, in the belief that by the end of next year there would be a perfectly safe refuge for large ships—ships draw ing 20 feet of water. In reply to questions, The CHAIRMAN said that the unissued stock amounted to £lOO,OOO, none of which it had been understood was to be issued without the assent of the shareholders, and to obtain that assent the meeting would be made special after the disposal of the general business. The total amount of capital was £400,000. He would move the adoption of the report, and Mr. Price in seconding it would state his views of the prospects of the company as de rived from a personal inspection and inquiries made on the spot, when he, as one of the committee ap pointed for the purpose, visited Kustendjie at the completion and opening of the line in September and October last. Mr. PRICE remarked that this company had been formed in 1857 as a promising enterprise, when by the treaty of Paris the navigation of the Danube had been for the first time thrown open to the en tire world, and its main object was to atord a com munication by a short line of railway from Kus tendjie, a port in the Black Sea, to a point consi derably up the Danube, so as to avoid the bar at the Salina mouth and for some distance above those parts of the river where the navigation was diffi cult, dangerous, and uncertain ; and also to form a commodious harbour at Kustendjie for vessels trading to that part of the Black Sea. The effect of the railway would be to save 250 miles in distance, and in time considerably more, and also to avoid the heavy tolls which were charged upon shipping to defray the expensive works at the mouth of the Sulina. These and the extensive trade of the dis trict, especially in grain and cattle, were the ad vantages which, as was represented by the projec tors, the scheme would eller, and from which a profitable return might be derived. The committee had found that there did exist this large trade on the Danube, and they also found that the difficulties of navigating that river had not been exaggerated; further, that the works carried on under the auspices of the Turkish Government at the Sulina mouth scarcely lessened, and certainly would not remove, those difficulties, and that the clues levied upon shipping on account of such works were out of all proportion to the accommodation afforded. They found also that, in consequence of the railway and other works constructed and in progress by this company, they had declined to make further ad vances to carry on the Sulina works. With regard to the saving of time by the railway as compared with the river navigation, he might mention that he and the other members of the committee had performed the distance from the point where the line commenced up the Danube to the roadstead of Kustendjie in two hours, while by the old route the journey occupied under the most favourable circumstances 30 hours. All that was now re quired was to provide the necessary accommoda tion for shipping at Kustendjie, without which their line would have no outlet to the sea, and all their previous operations must prove abortive. The question then arose, could this be done, and at what cost? It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that by the plan proposed en ample amount of shelter, and at a moderate cost, could be provided. All that was necessary was to throw out two moles a certain distance into the sea inclosing a large 'space of natural anchorage. The moles would be merely large embankments of rough stone, tipped from waggons into the water ; the cost was easily ascertained, for it was merely cubic yards of rough stone, at so much per yard, and the effect would be to keep the water inclosed by them always smooth. This was the opinion of the engi neer and all who were acquainted with the sub ject. It was necessary to proceed with these works without loss of time in order that they might be able to furnish ample accommodation to the steamers which had, under the agreement, engaged to call at Kustendjie when they commenced run ling in the spring, as well as for the grain vessels which would require to load there in the autumn. Another rea son for pressing on the works was that the Turkish Government had declined to make further advances for the works at the Sulina mouth, no doubt wait ing to ascertain whether or not the operations of this company would not relieve them altogether from the necessity of doing so. It would therefore be the fault of the shareholders themselves if those works which were thus suspended wore ever re newed. The committee further pressed strongly upon the shareholders the importance of continuing their railway to join the Wallaehian system of rail roads, which would give to Wallachia a terminus for their traffic at Tchernavoda, the result of which would be to divert nearly the whole of the traffic from the river to the Danube and Black Sea line, and the Kustendjie harbour, and make the enter prise in which they were engaged a brilliant one. A SHAREHOLDER—WouId it be possible to get the hotel nearer to the station, which, as acquainted with the east, I can say is a matter of importance. Mr. PRICE—The hotel is at a distance from the station, but this arises from:the fact that the house which is about to be converted into a very commodious hotel is already built, and it is proposed that as the railway passes close to it passengers for the hotel would be set down and taken up there. The hotel will be in effect a pas senger station. It was added, in reply to another question, that there was no doubt the Turkish Go vernment, who had treated the company very liberally, would grant more land if it was required ; but they had already a great quantity of land, suffi cient in fact, to make a mile and a half of quay 200 yards wide. They had plenty of land all round the harbour—he believed more than they wanted. A SHAREHOLDER inquired if the directors were satisfied of being able to issue the new shares at par? If not, as the money was wanted immediately, some temptation should be held out to the existing shareholders to take them—say, for instance, that they should be issued as preference sh ares at 4 or 5 per cent. with the option of convert in g them into ordinary shares within a given time. The CHAIRMAN replied that that would be a ques tion for the shareholders. Th e SHAREHOLDER would the n be p repared to o per cent. move that the 50 0 share s be issued at a preference, with the op tion of conversion into ordi nary shares within ten years. In answer to a question, proposed issue would be The CHAIRMAN said the th o e f the existing capital— thatequal to about one-fifth £lOO of the old he held. which had was, each shareholder would be entitled to £2O of the new for ev opinion of the line, improved by His (the chairmans) been always good, had been largely what they had recently heard of its prospects objected to ' , c• I,,tung prefe- Several shareholders rence shares. Mr. BARBER was so satisfied with the report pre pared by Mr. bY Mr. Price and his colleagues, that h o ldi ng as he did now only ten shares, he was quite pre pared to take ten more. Another SHAREHOLDER—I holdl 00, and am quite pre pared to I ake my proportion of the new issue. The motion for adopting the report was then agreed to. The meeting was then made special to authorise the issue of 500 shares of -vlOO each, to be allotted pro rata among the existing shareholders, and a resolution to that effect was passed as recommended in the report. A vote of thanks to Mr. Price and his colleagues for their mission of inquiry and their report, which the mover said had greatly enhanced the value of the property, was also moved and unanimously adopted; and Mr. Price having acknowledged it, the usual compliments to the chairman brought the proceedings to a close. MR. PUNCH'S NEW CONTRIBUTOR __.As the Hero was short of fuel, the Duke inquired of tho Prince whether ho should signal to the Ariadne for any ? " I s in e h et you not," was the princely reply ; " for they never will be such fools as to send coals to Newcastle,"--lonch, LOilif OF BULLION TO TILE BANE OF FRANCE. An arrangement was announced yesterday to have been made between the Bank of France and the Bank of England, which, it is hoped, will ter minate the uncertainties that have recently dis turbed the money-markets of Paris and London. The Bank of France are to have a loan of £2,000,000 of gold from the Bank of England on the security of a deposit of silver to an equal amount. The first remark on this will be,"How can such an arrangement strengthen the position of the Bank of France It is the drain of specie that has been the serious feature, and no change in the relative proportion of the metals in which their remaining stock of specie exists can operate to mitigate the evil." The matter, however, admits of explanation. The stock of specie shown in the last monthly re turn of the Bank of France was £17,400,000, against a note issue of £30,300,000, and these figures in themselves present nothing to excite panic. The fact that the proportion of gold to notes had been rapidly becoming less favourable de manded prompt attention, but the advance of one per cent. adopted in the rate of discount might have been expected, if gradually followed up by fur ther measures of the same kind, to prove a sufficient corrective. To the surprise of every one, the Bank of France commenced offering a premium for gold, and at the same time entered into onerous terms for obtaining large amounts from this side. A run was stimulated, and all persons were led to infer that the directors saw some imminent peril in the position of the Bank. It then transpired that the eagerness on their part t o get gold was not from apprehension that their entire stock of epccic might be drawn to a fatally low point, but from the fact that this stock con sists mainly of silver, and that hence they were rapidly approaching a condition which would com pel them to meet all demands in that metal. This announcement, however, seemed in no way to solve the prevailing perplexities. According to the law of France, where a double standard prevails, they are at liberty to discharge their obligations either in gold or silver, as they may deem expedient, and it was hard to see why they should object to pay in silver upon the exhaustion of their gold, or why, supposing the silver to be of a value beyond its de nomination in coin, they should not sell it for gold in the open market, and realise the profit of this difference. The answers aro rational. In the first place, if the Bank had commenced paying away silver, the common knowledge that this metal has for several years past borne a high premium and been difficult to obtai n would have led to a general rush for it ; in the next place, if they had suddenly thrown upon the Inalia - et a quantity suffi cient to provide for their gold requirements, the operation would have been attended with difficulty, and must have been effected at a proportionate sacrifice. Out of these considerations has arisen the resolution to make the application to the Bank of England for a loan of gold against silver which has just been acceded to. The Bank of Eng land under their charter are empowered to hold one-fifth of their specie reserve in that metal, and could now legally take nearly £3,000,000. The arrangement for £2,000,000 is therefore amply within the limit. It is not improbable, therefore, I that an early lowering of our rate may be wit nessed; and this event would tend materially to allay the vague uneasiness in Paris, while the mainten ance by the Bank of France of their rate of per cent., and its advance if necessary to 5 per cent., will probably be effectual to prevent any further very important efflux from that country. The arrangement above described is to be for any period that may suit the Bank of France.—Tiin es. THE MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF I)URITAAL NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, TUESDAY NIGHT. Since it has become known that Thomas Smith, the person charged with the murder of John Baty, at Winlaton, on the sth inst., has been taken into custody, the greatest excitement has prevailed in the Tyneside villages. The prisoner was brought from Port Mulgrave, near Whitby, yesterday, and to-day he was taken to Winlaton, to the adjourned inquest, in the custody of a strong detachment of county police. The adjourned inquest was held in the long room of the Commercial Hotel, which was quite filled, and a large crow d of persons were assembled about the place all day. Smith, who had been captured wearing the mur dered man's boots and trousers, presented the appearance of a being who had wandered over moors and wastes under the influence of terror and a guilty conscience. He is a very repulsive-look ing person, and is well known as a notorious t poacher and a very bad character. He sat in the inquestroom all day, apparently half dead with fatigue and terror, and did not pay particular at tention to anything going forward around. The whole of the evidence previously taken by the Co roner was read over to him, but he made no re mark upon it. He merely observed, that what he had to say he would " say to my lord." The circumstances of his capture are very sin gular, and to some extent romantic. It seems that the only money he found upon the person of the murdered man was sixpence, and with it and a shilling the young man Armstrong gave him, was all ha had in his pocket to pay for his support, and in company with his dog he had wandered over lonely moors and wastes, which at this time of the year are exceedingly inclement, to the iron mines in Cleveland, 150 miles from the scene of the mur der, where he imagined he would be perfectly un known. On Friday last he reached Port Mul grave, near Whitby, where there are extensive iron mines, and where screw-steamers call to take away the iron ere. He had procured employment at one of the mines in the name of Thomas Harrison, but was wandering about the village penniless, forlorn, and starving, on the night that he procured employment, when Mrs. Irving, the wife of Joseph Irving, a miner , observing his wretched condition, asked him into the house, and gave him some warm tea. She took in lodgers, and as he had got employment at the place she gave him a bed that ni g ht. Her husb and did not see him that night, but next morning, when he came down from the room where he had been sleeping, the husba nd looked at him, a nd exclaimed, " Tom, is that t hou ?" He replied, " Do y ou k now me P" Irving replied, " Know you, yes. Thee and I worked together at Milkridge Pit, in Northum berland, 20 years ago. You ar e T om Smith. " He said that he was, and asked hi m to go into the fields, when he told Irvin b °. that he must call him Thomas Harrison, as he h a d b een i n a poac hi ng row and did not wish to be known. On the day after Smith came into the village, a gamekeeper named Johnson had come down to the little seaport from a neighbouring property for a walk, and ob served Smith wandering about. Johnson, before he beca me a gamekeeper, had been several years in the Yorkshire constabulary, and it immediately struck him, from what he had read in the papers, and from some police information that he had re ceived, that the man was Smith, and that he was wanted for the Winlaton murder. He ascertained that he was staying at Irving's, and he sent for that person on Sunday morning, and after he read the police description to him, Irving told him that he had the man in his house. Irving i mm ediately •" Heb went back to his house and said to sm ith, " Torn/ 'o has thou had to do with the Winlaton j replied that he had; and upon b oo ts and trousers in, he admitted to him that th © said that he only ; J o hnson coming he had on were Bath's. He got sixpence from him ; but that if he had got money he would have dyed his hair, and would have got clear. expressed his willingness to go with the men to Gateshead, and was kept at the gamekeeper's cottage all night. On Monday morning Johnson and Irving, strongly armed, took him across the moors in a gig to Red car, a nd from thence he was brou g ht b y trai n to Gat eshe ad. During his journey he said when he struck at Baty he did not mean to have killed him ; b e merely intended to have stunned him an d robbed him, He said that no one else was con cerned but himself in the affair. After the whole of the evidence in the case was read over and signed, the Coroner summed up, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of wilful murder against Smith, who was committed for trial at the ensuing Durham asSiZeß. lICT hip She :on. am, per lc of rto, YD.
