1111 MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The return from the Bank of England for the - week ending 27th inst. is of a rather satisfactory character. In the bullion there is a slight. dimi nution:con3Tquent upon the non-arrival of remit tances from Australia, and the increased demand which has arisen for the Continent. In the reserve of notes there is a slight augmentation, and the other securities still continue at a rather large amount, notwithstan4ng the minimum rate still remains at 3 per cent. The public deposits show an increase of over half a million, but this is in some measure balanced by the decrease in the private deposits ; the instalments on the late Indian Loan and payments on revenue account fully accounting for these changes. The active circu lation has been diminished by about a quarter of a million, and in the Government securities there is no alteration. The other items of the balance sheet exhibit little variation of importance, and will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. 121,224,860 Decrease, .. ..

Thesales were estimated at 6,000 bales. Ab out X 50,000 in gold was withdrawn from the B ank of England yesterday for the Continent, where it is required to purchase silver on eastern account. This circumstance, coupled with the de ;lining tendency of the exchanges, shows that the directors were warranted in refraining from a pre cipitate course of action with regard to the rate of discount. The demand for money continues very quiet. wen at the low rates current in Lombard-street, the number of bills offered for negotiation is limited. Next week the payments of the 4th may Rive a temporary stimulus to the inquiry, although i t is understood the engagements which will then arrive at maturity are comparatively small. Large supplies of gold are shortly expected from Victoria and other places, which may assist in preserving t he existing easiness and cause a renewed accumu lation of bullion in the Bank of England vaults. Since Monday last the imports of specie have be en about £165,300, and the exports £60,600, exclusive of the following shipments direct from the Continent during the week ending Thursday las t :—Gold coin : Boulogne, 300 oz. ; Hamburg, 100; and Belgium, 500. Silver coin : Boulogne, 3 ,000 oz. Silver bars : Hamburg, 780 oz. ; Rotter 4oln, 2,800. The Market for English Securities is exceedingly dull, and increased heaviness is exhibited by the official closing quotations. This unfavourable change can only be attributed to the decline in the exchangesand the withdrawal of gold f rom th e ii „ ki k. Consol s are 981 for money, and 981 for the account.

POLICEMEN "ON THE LOOSE."—Two showily-dressed girls, who gave the names of Mary Ann Davis and Mary Ann Edwards, were charged with robbing a policeman named Bennett. Poliee-constable Bennett, 501 N, said—Last evening, about half-past seven, I met the prisoners, and treated them to something to drink at a public-house in Dean-street, Soho. We afterwards hired a cab and drove to another public-house, the Nag's Head, where we had some more drink. At about half-past nine o'clock we were in the Red Lion and Still in Drury-lane, when, on putting my hand into my pocket, I found I had been robbed of my purse, which contained a ten pound note, three or four sovereigns, and some silver. I was not sober when I discovered my loss. Mr. Hall—Then you were drunk. Witness—No, your worship. Mr. Hall—You must have been either drunk or sober, Go on. The witness then proceeded with his statement—l told the girls I should charge them with stealing my purse, but they denied all knowledge of the robbery. I sent for a policeman and they were given into custody. The number of the note I lost was 99,723. Mr. Hall—How many public houses had you been in ? Witness —Three. Mr. Hall—And drinking all the time ? Witness—Not all the time. When I left the Nag's Head I was quite sober, and had my money safe. Davis—Did you not go to another public house, Cald well's, in Dean-street ? Witness—Yes—l now recollect we did. Davis—Were you sober then ? Witness—l don't think I was. Davis—You dropped your money, and Mr. Caldwell picked some of it up for you, and gave you a light to look to see if you had got it all. Wiiness—l don't recollect. Mr. Hall—That shows how drunk you must have been, when a man drops his money and don't recollect whether he picked it up or no. (Laughter.) _ Davis—Didn't your friend drop his purse as well ? You were drunk, but he was worse than you. Mr. Burnaby (the Chief Clerk)—His friend ? Who was that ? Witness—A person who was with me. Mr. Hall—A constable ? Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—And he was drunk ? Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—What's his number ? Witness—No. 587 N. Mr. Hall—That's the same division division as you be- Long to? Witness—Yes, your worship. Mr. Hall—ln what district is that division stationed ? Mr. Mace (the Usher)—ln Islington and Hackney, your worship. Davis—Your worship, the witness and his friend were as drunk as they could be, but of the two I think the other man was the worst. (Laughter.) He (witness) wanted me to go to the Haymarket with him—(laughter)—and there he would finish up the night with me. He said he didn't care what it cost him. (Laughter.) Witness—l don't recollect saying so. Davis—No—how should you? (Laughter.) .. _ Police-constable F 114, said, I was called into the Red Lion and Still public house, in Drury-lane. The prosecu tor said he had dropped a £lO note and some silver. The prisoners were with him. They were all drunk, but the women were' the worst. The man said he had lost his money. I asked whether he had lost it in that public-house, or in the cab he had just left, but he said he did not know. I thought he might have dropped it in front of the bar, and looked for the money, but could not find it. He then gave the prisoners into custody for stealing his purse. Edwards said she did not know anything about it, and turned her pockets inside out. Davis also denied the robbery. They were taken to the station-house. On getting into the charge room Davis became rather obstinate, and another constable was called to hold her right hand while I had hold of the left. I then found that she had some money in the hand I had hold of. I took it from her. It was a sovereign and 16s. 6d. in silver. Davis—Didn't I say he gave me the money ? Witness—No. Police-constable F 128, said—Last night I was on duty in Broad-court and saw the last witness conveying Davis to the station. She was very violent. I went to his assist ance. I found she had got her right hand in her bosom trying to get soinething out. I pulled her hand out, and kept it closed until I got her to the station. She tried to get it to her mouth. After we got to the station she be came very violent, and on her hand being opened I found this £lO note (produced) and a shilling. Mr. Hall—What is the number of the note ? Witness-99,723. Mr. Burnaby—l suppose it was torn getting it from the prisoner ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Hall—Well, Davis, what do yot, say to that ? Davis—l have nothing to say. Mrs. Green, female searcher, said—l searched Davis. In her pocket I found a portmonnaie. It contained 9 sove reigns. a two-shilling piece, a sixpence, and fourpence in copper. I also found a small quantity of silver wire. She said she used the wire in her business, and that the money was her own. I found nothing on Edwards. Mr. Hall—Then, that's the case. Mr. Burnaby—Yes. Constable 517 N, here stepped into the witness-box. Mr. Hall—Well, have you any charge against the prisoners ? Constable—l have not entered a charge against them, but I find myself minus £2. I think the one in the red shawl (Edwards) must have had it. Edwards—One halfpenny was all the money that was found on me. I know nothing of the robbery. Mr. Hall—The whole of the evidence is entirely against Davis. I shall therefore commit her for trial, for robbing Bennet, the constable, and remand her till Thursday, to see if there is an owner for the purse with the £9 in it. Now we will proceed with the charge made against Edwards by the other policeman. Constable F 128—Ho didn't say a word about it last night when he was at the station-house—he was too drunk. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—Oh dear me I (Laughter.) Constable 517 N—When I examined my purse this morn ing I had but £2. I know I had £4 last night. Mr. Hall—But you were too drunk to know anything with certainty. Constable—l was not sober certainly, but I knew what I was about. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—You hear what the officer sayi; fie must know better than you, and he says you very were drunk. Policeman—l must say I was not sober, but when I have been drinking a little I look so peculiar—(loud laughter)— that a good many people would think I was very drunk when I ain't (Loud laughter.) Mr. Hall—Then you were drunk and I should like to know what reliance can be placed upon the word of a drunken man. I suppose you want of the money found on Davis to be given up to you to make up what you say you've lost. Policeman—l can corroborate-- Mr. Hall—Corroborate I a fine corroborative witness truly. Did you ever give evidence before in a court of justice ? Constable—Yes, sir, I have. Mr. Hall—Then you know what value is put upon the oath of a drunken man. The prisoner (Edwards) is dis charged. After the case had been disposed of, Mr. Hall called the two constables F 114 and F 128, and complimented them on the upright and straightforward manner in which they had given their evidence against their brother constable. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT AND ROBBERY.—Francis John Higgs, a porter in the employ of Mr. Harris Holland, gunmaksr, of 98, New Bond-street, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a cheque for £2O and one sovereign, the moneys of his employer. Mr. Holland said that on the 24th of May last he en trusted the prisoner, who was in his employ as a porter, with several cheques to pay into his bankers, giving him also a draft for £2O of his owu and a sovereign, with in structions to bring back a £2O note for the draft and change for the sovereign. He was to pay in the crossed cheques, which he had done ; but instead of getting the £2O note he got gold, and had then absconded. He then gave informa tion to the police. Henry Joy, 338 A, a detective officer, Laid that on appre hending the prisoner he said he was extremely sorry that he had had the money, but got drunk, was robbed of it, and that he was afraid to go back to his employer. While taking him to the station he told him that he had stolen from the prosecutor half-a-dozen tea spoons, and pledged them at a pawnbroker's, near a court in Oxford-street. He (Joy) had been to the pawnbroker that morning, and saw the spoons alluded to. The prosecutor had missed several other things. He wished for a remand that he might make further inquiries. The prosecutor, in reply to Mr. Bingham, said he had constantly missed different articles, but at present was unable to state the amount of his loss. Mr. Bingham said that it was a case that must go to the sessions, but he should grant a remand. AN IMPUDENT ASSAULT.—EIiza Howard, a prostitute, was charged with the following impudent assault on a gentleman : Mr. John Sercombe, a merchant, residing at 6, Duke street, Adelphi, said he was passing by the electric clock, near Pall-Mall, on the previous night, when the prisoner fell from an omnibus, he having previously noticed her apparently hanging from it. She came up to him and de manded some brandy and water. He repulsed her, when she seized him by the collar, nearly tearing it off, and created such a crowd that he was compelled to give her into custody. She was an entire stranger to him, and seemed to have been drinking. Fined 10s., or 10 days DEATH OF MRS. HOPE SCOTT.—We regret to announce the death of this amiable lady.

FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, HOLT.—We have stated already that the ancient Free Grammar School, founded by Sir John Gresham, at Holt, is about to be re opened, and that a deputation of the Governors of the Wor shipful Company of Fishmongers of the city of London is coming down on Wednesday, the 3d November, to open the new school-room, which has recently been rebuilt, as well as to introduce the newly appointed master. The gentleman selected is the Rev. Charles Allen Elton, late Lecturer and Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he ob tained a high position in the mathematical tripos ; is wel known as a distinguished scholar, and was chosen by the Master and Fellows of his College to examine on more than one occasion the Cathedral School at Gloucester. The Rev. Mr. Elton has recently been residing at Willingham, where he officiated for upwards of six years as curate, with full charge of that important parish, and where, from his ability and cleverness in school management, and his devotion to his duties, he gained the respect and affection of his parishioners. Such a choice augurs well for the success of Holt School under its present new master, who is well known to have given so much of his attention to the theory and practice of education, and there is every reason to believe that the interests of the school have been essen tially consulted by the governors in their appointment of the Rev. Mr. Elton. It is a fair inference that the re-esta blishment of this ancient school under such auspices will be beneficial not only to the town of Holt and its neigh bourhood, but to the county, and we give our cordial sup port to the event, as calculated to give general satisfaction. —Norwich. Mercury, Oct. 27. ROBBERY AT WIGAN.—On Wednesday Mr. John Pollard, the secretary of the Wigan Union Benefit Society, and proprietor of the Wigan Examiner, was examined on the charge of being concerned in the forgery of certain transfer scrip certificates belonging to that society. The inquiry as it proceeded showed that a very serious amount of forgery and tampering with the scrip of the society had taken place, and at the close of the investigation on that day Mr. Pollard was placed in the hands of the chief con stable to answer the charge on the day following. The cases investigated by the committee, in which the alleged forgeries had been committed, went to prove that up wards of £l,OOO had been misappropriated by such prac tices. It was therefore determined that such evidence only should be given at the examination on the day fol lowing as would lead to a remand, and give tune to collect the facts and to ascertain the extent of the delin quencies. The society has been in existence about six years, and up to this time has been considered in a flourish ing condition. The members who have invested their money and still retain shares are, for the greater part, of the most industrious portion of the community, and .‘ include a number of working men , a s well as domestic servants. The loss (which we believe will fall upon the shareholders as a body) will therefore be a serious draw backis upon their hard-earned gains, and consequently much to be regretted . On Thursday the case came on for hearing, at the police-office, before the sittipg magis trates, when the following evidence was adduced . :—Ralph Leigh, solicitor to the society, said that 19th dlVilkmson was a member, and wa s possessed , on the of October, of shares Nos. 334 and 335. The prisoner, John Pollard, was secretary to the society, and on the 12th inst. he brought to the office of witness two certificates purporting to be Nor,. 334 and 335. These certificates were marked on the back as cancelled, and signed with the name Richard Wilkinson, which signature the prisoner stated was the sig. pature of Richard Wilkinson,- the member of the society. Richard Wilkinson stated positively that he neither signed the certificate alluded to nor authorised any person to do so. The case was then adjourned, and the prisoner re manded to Tuesday nut,—Manchester Guardian. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

The publication of the speech of Mr. Bright in our columns, within a few hours after it was de livered at Birmingham, from which town the special train conveying the members of the press to London did not start until 10.30 p.m., appears, amongst the great facilities which have recently been afforded for the transmission of news, a very simple affair; but we question whether many of those who have read the speech of Mr. Bright are acquainted with the great trouble to which a rail way company is put, and the large amount of care it is necessary to take in running a special express at a high rate of speed over a line crowded with ordinary traffic. The public, of course, have a right to the use of special trains, consistent with the public service, supplied by railway companies ; but it is due to the latter to state that when any important question has had to be discussed, or any great political event about to take place, they have at all times evinced the most liberal disposition to comply with the requirements of the London press, whose peculiar duty and desire it is to obtain the earliest possible intelligence of matters affecting the interests of the community. In no case has the readiness of a railway company to oblige the press been more strongly evidenced than in the arrange ments made by the London and North-Western for bringing up the special express on Wednesday • night. It will be seen from the following instruc tions sent to the stations between London and Bir mingham, that in order to accommodate the public —for it is the public who have been accommodated —the Euston-square authorities stopped, for a journey of two hours and 40 minutes only, no fewer than eleven trains. " Superintendent's-office, Euston Statiou, 26th October, 1858. " SPECIAL TRAIN FOR THE PRESS " Consisting of one carriage, will leave Birmingham for London to-morrow night (Wednesday), at 10.30 p.m., and run as under : Leave Birmingham 10.30 p.m. Arrive at Rugby - LCond oamde n n 1. 5 a.m. 1.10 „ " The necessary trains are to be signalled.

" The 9.0 p.m. up coal train from Rugby will remain at Leighton. "The 8.45 p.m. up coal train from Rugby will remain at Tring. " The 10.20 p.m. up goods train from Wolverton will remain at King's Langley until the special train has passed. " The drivers and guards of the special train are to be very careful how they approach any part of the line where they are ordered to proceed with caution. " The arrival of the special train must be announced by telegraph at each of the stations where the instruments are in use. The shunting of the several trains is to be in accordance with the directions here given, provided the special train arrives at the appointed time, but, should it be later than anticipated, their shunting at stations must be regulated by the clerks in charge, care being taken that do goods trains do not leave an intermediate station, if likely to interfere with the passage of the special train between shunting stations. " The special train is not to run beyend the rate of speed given in the table, and is to stop at the stations named therein. " The drivers, guards, and breaksmen of all trains are to be informed by the clerk or foreman on duty at each station where they stop how long the preceding train is in advance of them and the character of it," The admirable manner in which the special train was run will be best understood from the fact that it arrived at Euston-square within three minutes of the stated time.—Morning Herald.

EX IVF SWINDLING.--We noti ce d a few TENS eeks ago the absconding of Julius Ellis, a Frenchman, N4 w, ho carried on business here as a silk mercer, leaving liabi lities to upwards of £lO,OOO. Since his absconding his cre ditors have been making inquiries as to his mode of doing business, and have found that he has been the head of a most complete system of swindling, carried on for the last twelvemonths, and which seems to have been managed with great cleverness. Ellis, who enjoyed the entire con fidence of those with whom he did business, obtained goods during the last few months to the extent of nearly £6,000, and with the aid of a young man who lived with him (also a Frenchman) got them conveyed in bales and boxes to the steamers at Leith, where another of the gang was in readi ness to take charge and accompany them across to Rotter dam, where they were disposed of. This system was carried on every week for several months of this summer as well as in the end of last year, and during that time upwards of 200 bales of the finest silks, velvets, linens, cloths, and other valuable goods were thus disposed of. An agency with an office, &c., was kept in Rot terdam for converting the goods into cash, and about the time Ellis left Edinburgh the parties there sold off and also decamped. A reward of £2OO has been offered for Ellis, the advertisement for which, we are informed, the French papers unaccountably refuse to insert. It seems a marvel that a man who, only six years ago, came to this country, unable to speak a word of English , utterly un known, and living in lodgings, should so eas il y have ob i Ulna almost unlimited credit—Scotlmans Receipts. 1858. 18117. 129 1,213 123 1,231 [9 1 8 20 401 35 17} 31 674 489 1831 283 53. 203. 251 41 la, 2,9 27; 51 184 60 1734 91 28 5674 177 720 9 233 464 115 29& 291 57 301 171 108 116 669 613 1,059 1,113 27,636 326 6,314 5,969 3,091 S/00 7,254 27,421 1,556 7,1'69 30,426 7,486 23,756 486 57,759 1,321 15,078 19,263 793 1,323 10,017 '786 992 34,329 3,887 1,551 2,257 3,211 1,392 5,567 '554 36,958 2,253 6,881 945 100 4,755 186 7,718 3,290 3,930 1,731 3,021 1,675 841 2,827 21,158 6,213 2,949 6,936 3,449 1,738 403 1,537 332 1,130 - 676 3,376 505 896 34,592 1831 283 53} 229 466 724 9 233 115 29 48 571 301 171 108 116 828 161 157 108 879 130 745 73,677 50,241 4-1,618 1,214 17,301 THE ARMY.

The remainder of the expedition, with stores, 12 months' provisions, &c., are to embark on board the Euphrates, now at Deptford, on or about the 15th of next month, in charge of Sergeant Rylett, R.E. Yesterday orders were issued that, in order to obtain efficient musicians as bandsmen for her Ma jesty's regiments a bounty of £lO was to be paid to all joining, and a gratuity of £1 to any person bringing an efficient man. THE NAVY. The Swedish man-of-war Naijaden, 18, Captain Warberg, having had the injuries she sustained by running ashore near the Galloper Sands made good. at Chatham Dockyard, was undocked yesterday. The principal damage she sustained consisted in about 90 feet of her false keel being knocked off, and a considerable portion of her ripe twisted. She has been put into thorough repair, and is now waiting orders from the Swedish Government to proceed to sea. The Erebus, 16, iron floating battery, has been oored in Dorchester Lake, with iron cables at tached, to test the concentrated firing of 68- pounders on her hull, the cables being intended to lift her in the event of her being struck between wind and water. The Lords of the Admiralty will visit Portsmouth in the ensuing week to witness the result of the experiment.

A FAMILY MURDERED IN AUsTIIALIA.--In a letter dated June 30, from a resident in Drayton, Moreton Bay, Australia, to his father in this neighbourhood and ceived by getting worse every very daring,him on. Thursday, it is stated that district is day and that the blacks have become and are going y' about in numbers, murderin g and robbing wherever they can. " About two months ago g (he says) there was a family from Montrose, Scotland, re siding a few miles from here, who were all barbarously mur dered by the blacks. The murderers are supposed to have come upon them early in the morning by surprise, and first killed the mother and then the rest of the family in suc cession. There were two fine young women—one 15 and the other 17 years of age—and a young man of 20, along with four children, of eight years and upwards. Their bodies were all got lying in a heap by some of the neighbour ing squatters ; and they appeared to have been murdered almost without a struggle. By this time, however, the blacks had all gone to the scrub, where a white man could scarcely enter. The name of the murdered man was Fraser. They had been in this country for a very long time, and were getting on well."—Glasgow Morning Journal. The Memorial of Amiens states that the theatre at that place was on Monday evening the scene of a vio lent tumult, in consequence of a strong opposition being made to one of the performers, named Ceret. The moment the curtain rose an outburst of hisses and' applause burst forth, and the performance was interrupted. The commis sary of police came forward, and, after having obtained a hearing, read a decree of the prefect, which had been posted up during the afternoon. This document forbids any mani festation to be displayed towards artistes when they first come forward, and states that it must be reserved until their merit or demerits can be properly judged of, and that in all cases these marks of s atisfaction or the contrary must not be of a nature to prevent the continuance of the perform ance. After some delay the curtain again rose and the per formance continued, but the calm was but of short duration, as man if es tations against one of the actresses, Mdlle. Du mas, then broke out, and the commissary announced that he should order the house to be cleared. This of the line all h y a e d d the storm, and the pe rformance was al lowed to be brought to an end. During th e evening a pan , been sent for, and was stationed opposite the house in readinus to at if required. 546 682 1,054 1,258 26,859 6,144 6,199 3,171 288 1,312 7,504 26,148 1,453 7,311 29,692 7,439 23,148 466 64,390 1,337 14,639 14,827 783 1,247 11,032 882 1,008 34,126 3,799 1,606 2,500 3,934 1,161 5,509 '6OB 38,359 2,270 7,736 1,C07 4,823 205 1,781 3,265 3,823 1,680 3,212 1,706 867 2,492 19,488 7,237 2,848 7,687 4,317 1,579 '32 5 1,702 316 1,171 713 3,351 513 483 291 831 34,440 433 1,378 1,027 3,338 10,Z67 941 1,069 12,0.32 9,222 2,875 4,238 262 784 66,956 46.623 41,898 1.286 13,384 :~ { 121 104 i 96i 110442
