at9NEI MA 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:consequent 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, notwithstanding 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 40 alteration. The other items of the balance sheet exhibit little variation of importance, and Wdl be seen in the subjoined table :-- Active Circulation £21,224,860 Decrease .. 271,305 'Mullion .. 19,132,476 Decrease . 144,084 Rest 1,3 •• •• •• •• , • 100999• Increase .• . .

About £50,000 in gold was withdrawn from the hank of England yesterday for the Continent, where it is required to purchase silver on eastern account. This circumstance, coupled with the de clining, tendency of the exchanges, shows that the wrectors were warranted in refraining from a pre eiPitate course of action with reg9l4 to the rate of iiscount. I The demand for money continues very quiet. Even at the low rates current in Lombard -street, tile number of bills offered for negotiation is limited. Next week the payments of the 4th may give a temporary stimulus to the inquiry, although i t is und ers t oo d the engagements which will then arrive at maturity are comparatively small. Large 811 PPlies of gold are shortly expected from Victoria a th i ld ether pl aces , w hi ch may assist in preserving e "Wing easiness and cause a renewed accumu lati- - - on of bullion in the Bank of England vaults. S ince Mond a y l as t th e i mports o f spec i e h ave be en about £165,300, and the exports £60,600, e xclusi ve of the following shipments direct from , Continent during the week ending Thursday 444 :—Gold co i n ' : B ou l ogne , 300 oz . ; H am b urg, 10 p; and Blum, 500.

The Market for English Securities is exceedingly " 1 4 and increased heaviness is exhibited by the closing quotations.

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 ha s recen tl y 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 time 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, as well as domestic servants. The loss (which we believe will fall upon the shareholders as a body) will therefore be a serious draw back upon their hard-earned gains, and consequently is f m er uc h h ea t r o hbge, at r e g t le e t ted. police-office, 0n Th u b r e s f o d r a e y t t h h e e s c i a tt s i e ng ca m m a e gis on . trates, when the following evidence was adduced :—Ralph Leigh, solicitor to the society. said that Richard Wilkinson was a member, and was possessed, on the 19th 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 IS os. 3-34 and 335. These certificates were marked on the back as cancelled, and signed with the name Richard Wilkinson, which sin-nature the prisoner stated was the sig nature 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 next. —Manchester Guardian, 1211 1014 96" BOW-STREET. 4} 4f 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, Odd ' 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. Witness—l don't recollect. Mr. Hall—That shows how drunk you must have been, when a man drops his money and don't recollect wkether 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 ? Business Done. 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 ong 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 something 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 you 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—He 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 1 (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 says ; he 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 £2 of the money found on Davis to be given up to you to make up what you say 874 you've lost.

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. 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. Police-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. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT AND ROBBERY.—Francis John Higgs, a porter in the employ of Mr. Harris Holland, gunmakcr, 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 own 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, said that on appre heuding 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 STMT.—We regret to announce the death of this amiable lady. Mrs. Scott, who died on Tuesday last, has been cut off in middle life, leaving two young children and an infant of five weeks old, the only descendants of the illustrious author of Waverley. EXPRESS TRAINS. 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 journeyof two hour s an d 4 0 m i nutes 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 .............. 11.15 „ Camden .. 1. 5 a.m. London l.lO ~ " The ne c essary trains are to be sig na ll e d .

" 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 the 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.

Th e jury returned a verdict of man slaughter against the wide John Sothall, who has been charged before the j ust i ces, but admitted to bail t o appear at the se ss i ons. He has hitherto borne a g ood character, and has only been married about tour years. EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.—We noticed a few k s ago the absconding of Juliu s Elli s, a Frenchman, whoe carr i e d on business here as a silk mercer, leaving liabi lities to upwards of SlO,OOO. Since his absconding his cre ditors have been making inquiries as to his mode of doin g 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 wa s i n readi ness to take charge and accompany them across to Rotter dam 2 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 m lodgings, shbuld so easily have ob tained almoat unlimited credit.—Scotsman. 1981 94 8 20 401 51 171 31 674 489 191 111 142 1831 283 531 229 466 4 17 28 667} 177 7251 233 . 494 101 94 1734 9 28 5674 177 115 29i 48 301 171 108 116 291 57' 301 171 108 116 '403 1,537 332 1,130 676 3,376 505 481 249 828 264 161 1571 108 i 879 130 574 44 781 771 791 745 73,677 50,241 44,648 1,214 17,391 THE ARMY.

Lord Seymour, eldest son of the Duke of Somer set, has just entered the 4th Dragoon Guards; and Lord A. P. Cecil, youngest son of the Marquis of Exeter, has entered the Rifle Brigade. The report that his Roy-al Highness the Prince of Wales is about to enter the army is revived in military circles. The Coldstream Guards is said to be the regiment selected for the illustrious Prince. Col. Moody, Royal Engineers, the Commissioner of Lands and Works in British Columbia, sails for that colony by the Cunard steamship Asia this day for New lork via Panama. He will be accompa nied by Mrs. Moody, Capt. Gossett, R.E.

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 gripe 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 moored in Porchester 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.

In letter dated June 30, from a resident in Drayton, Moreton Bay , Australia, to his father -in this neighbourhood : and received by him on Thursd a y, it is stated that distr i ct i s getting worse ev ery d ay, and that the blacks have become verydann' g, and ar e go i ng a b out i n num b ers, murdering and robbing wherever they can. " About two months ago (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 th e 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, howevlr, 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 eonsequence 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 satisfaction 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 manifestations against one of the actresses, Mdlle. Du mas, then broke out, and the commissary announced th a t he should order the house to be cleared. This threat allayed the storm, and the performance was allowed to be brought to au and. During the evening a company of the line had been-sent for, and was stationed opposite the house in readiness to act if required, 082 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 23,148 132 466 64,390 1,357 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 - 608 38,359 2,270 7,736 1,007 4,823 325 1,702 316 1,171 713 3,351 513 483 294 831 34,440 433 1,378 1,927 3,338 10,:.67 941 1,069 12,032 9,222 2,875 4,238 262 784 66,056 46,623 41,808 hang, pur mong L who r own issued Aurn, ally as Lnner, r any ssued ig in from 'hich, ars of 'poet- ners, ttled, ;ency , ould from y are rith how the it of Nyill ced. 1, in his erty the re to .ard- One bout able ards gee, rant and Her veil, roy- Her sful b in ►ull- Dd.
