MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days-, there has been very little activity. Tea has been steady, and in sugar the dealings have been extremely limited, at about former quotations. In coffee scarcely any busi ness has been done, and prices are unaltered. Rice has been at steady rates, and there has been a rather active demand for new fruit, both currants and raisins having been dealt in at improved values. Saltpetre has been dull, and in tallow the transactions have been limited. The public sales of colonial wool continue to progress very satisfactorily, the rates current at the opening being fully supported. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed steadily, and prices were fully maintained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted at im proved quotations. The demand for gold on Continental account Continues active, and it is presumed that a large proportion of the specie received yesterday from Australia and America, amoun gag in all to about £576,000, will be purchased by the exporters. By this means their immediate requirements will at all events be satisfied, and two or three days having elapsed without any withdrawals from the Bank beihg reported, it is imagined that the efflux will not be resumed at present. Besides the remittances shortly expected from Vic toria small consignments continue to arrive from Russia, but as the navigation will soon be closed, these supplies are likely to be suspended, or very much curtailed. The opeiations in the Money Market still denote an increased demand for discount accommodation. Numerous heavy calls have to be paid this month, on account of loans, railways, and other en gag ements, which must absorb a considerable aggregate amount. Full rates are, therefore, likely to prevail, and many anticipate a further fractional advance. The return to a higher rate, however, would not interfere with the recovery in trade, which appears to be making favourable progress in all directions. It is desirable that this movement should not be forced, but allowed to follow the improvement in dist ant markets as the only sure process of securing a healthy and profitable state of trade. The ad vices received yesterday from Australia warn shippers on this side to restrain their export ope rations, as the markets could not bear the excessive s uPPles which had lately arrived. The intelligence f rom America, India, and China leads to the infer ence that a vast field will soon be opened to the enterprise of our merchants, and they will, no doubt, find it greatly to their advantage to act cautiously, and regulate their transactions by the r equirements for immediate use and consumption. Silver continues in active demand for trans mission to the East, and the quotations still exhibit an upward tendency: At the Bank of England yesterday no bullion operations of importance took place. The steamer Tyne, which leaves to-day for the Brazils ; will take out specie to the amount of X 9,500. The market for Public Securities continues very firm, but the members are chiefly occupied with the liquidation of the account, which is progressing in a satisfactory manner. The few transactions entered into for. the December account indicate in creased confidence amonc , the speculators, who have no doubt been encouraged u by the arrivals of gold and the check that has been given to the drain from the Bank.

THE LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The annual ceremony of swearing in the Lord Mayor was performed this morning in the Court of Exchequer, at Westminster, with great eclat. With the break of day the good citizens were astir, and as the morning progressed, men in splendid liveries began to flit between the Mansion-house and Guildhall. A little after nine the bannermen, watermen, and other subordinates, arrived, and shortly afterwards the City marshals made their appearance, and began to enter with spirit into the important duties of the day. The " show," as it has been for ages called, was this day shorn of many of its former attractions : we had no "knights, mounted and armed cap-a-pie, attended by their respective squires, bearing banners." No allegorical devices formed a place in the procession, which consisted chiefly of the principal officials connected by their office to the Corporation of London, the aldermen of the different wards, bands of music, a military escort, and a host of banners. The weather was propitious, and, unlike many of his predecessors in office, the Right Hon. David Williams Wire commenced his civic reign on as fine a November day as ever attended even Royalty itself. At half-past eleven o'clock the excitement in front of Guildhall became unusual. City Marshals galloped to and fro to the great horror of the pedestrians, who, between the dangerous process of unfurling the banners and several other little unpleasantries, had no very easy time of it. The procession passed along Gresham-street, down Coleman-street, via London-Wall, to Moorgate-street, thence by Princes-street to the Mansion-house, along King William-street to the statue of that monarch, along Cannon-street and Cannon-street West to St. Paul's churchyard, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, Temple-bar, by the Strand to Charing-cross, and thence to Westminster. On arriving at the Hall the Lord Mayor quitted his state carriage, and, accompanied by long train of officials, pro ceeded to the Court of Exchequer, whero the oaths were administered in the usual form. After his Lordship had taken the oath, the judges who had assisted in the 'ceremony were invited to the civic banquet, and a similar invitation was given to all the judges in the other courts of law. The Lord Mayor then returned to his carriage, and proceeded to the Guildhall. Throughout the whole line of procession the new Lord Mayor was received in a very cordial manner. LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(thlS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) EX PARTE VERO, IN RE VERO•-•-BANKRUPT PETITION BY This is an appeal from a decision of one of the Registrars of the Birmingham District Court of Bankruptcy, holding that certain fees were payable to the chief registrar, under the 4th section of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act. The order was made, and the arrange ment was also mad. in terms of the Act, under the direc tions of the Court. The arrangement was to pay 7s. Gd. in the pound upon the debts due within one month from the confirmation of the arrangement ; and that in the mean time the assets shou4 vest in the official assignee—but on payment of the compAition referred to, the debtor was to have a re-investing order, in the same manner as if the vesting order in favour of the official assignee had not taken place. _ _ The Registrar held that in this state of circumstances the 54th section of the act apptied. That section of the act provides that the estate, under such an arrangement, shall vest in the official assignee, and that the Registrar shall be paid his fees. Mr. De Gex, for the petitioner, contended, in support of the appeal, that the subsequent part of the act and the 54th section referred to contemplated the absolute vesting and complete realisation of the estate, and not a provisional vesting, such as here, and this was shown by the words of the act—" gross produce," which could not apply to this case, where there was no realisation. The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of Mr. De Gex's argument, and without calling upon the respondent's counsel for a reply, delivered judgment. His lordship said that it was clear that the Act contemplated the payment of fees to the Registrar when the assistance of the Court was taken in carrying into effect such an arrangement. His lordship referred to the 4th section, the 218th section, and 222 d section of the Act, and in particular the 54th section, in support of his opinion. His Lordship said that the bankrupt might have entered into such an arrangement without the intervention of the Court in carrying it into operation, and the Court would have sanctioned it, and he would not have been liable to pay any fees, but where the arrangement is carried out with the assistance of the Court, the chief registrar is entitled to his fees whether the estate is realised or not. His lordship dismissed the petition, but without costs, as it was a fair case to be tried. His lordship said he wished he could have relieved the petitioner from payment of the fees, but it was impossible to do sounder the act. POLICE'' INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING SHOP ROBBERY.—Two women, named Ellen Harrigan and Ellen Jones, were charged with the following robbery : Mr. John Luffington, draper, of 13, Tottenham-court road, said that on the previous evening, while lighting up, a lad came and informed him that the prisoner had stolen three skirts, and gone into Russell-street. He went after the prisoners, and came up with them, and just before doing so observed Jones throw them over into an area. He im mediately seized her, when she struck, kicked, and tried to bite him, and used her utmost endeavours to got away. A gentleman came to his assistance and secured the other pri soner. A large mob immediately gathered, and tried to rescue the prisoner Jones, but a constable fortunately coming up, she was taken into custody. Harrigan said the constable was mistaken. It was some one else who had stolen the things. She knew nothing of them—it was all a falsehood. _ A constable said he believed one of the prisoners had been in custody before, and he thought, if they were remanded, something could be known of her.

MURDEROUS ASSAULTO;7 - SEAMAN.—Four aban doned women, named Macdougall, Kirby, Smith, and Downey, wore brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting and plundering a seaman, named Frederick Bowles. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, a re spectable, well-conducted young man, is about to sail on a long voyage, and was yesterday afternoon in search of two of his shipmates. He was directed to a "louse in Elbow lane, and it is probable, if he had known the very infamous character of the place, he would never have entered it. He saw the prisoners in a room below, and they said his ship mates were upstairs. He went upstairs and could see nothing of them. He was anxious to leave the house immediately, and the prisoners would not allow him to do so, and de manded money and liquor. Ho refused to give them either. After being detained an hour he attempted to leave the house, and the prisoner Macdougall, a masculine woman, struck him a tremendous blow with her clenched fist be tween the two eyes, and, to use his own phrase, "his face was immediately smothered in blood." The other women in the house set upon him like furies, beat and kicked the poor fellow, and stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, and cap. They also tore his shirt and ill-used him in a scan dalous manner, accompanying their bad usage with the most horrible language and threats. He managed, after a desperate ' struggle, to leave the house, abhost naked, and made his way towards the police-station. He was met by Police-sergeant Cox, 45 K, and he was then bleeding profusely. The pri soners were soon in custody of the police. Smith and Kirby were found in n pawnbroker's shop, pawning the sailor's overcoat, and were at once apprehended. Downey, whose real name is believed to be Harrington, and Macdougall, said the sailor's waistcoat was at a "leaving-shop," but it was discovered at the shop of a pawnbroker in Ratcliff highway. The sailor's cap was found concealed in the house in Elbow-street. All the prisoners had been in cus tody several times, and were most desperate characters. .The sailor could not identify Downey. Mr. Yardley said, as the sailor was about to sail, he should dispose of this case summarily. He fined Macdougall £5, or two months' imprisonment, for the assault; and sen tenced Kirby and Smith to one month's imprisonment for illegally pawning; Downey was discharged. THIRD EDITION.

GREAT SCULLERS' iRACE. WHITE AGAINST CLASPER FOR £2OO. This great and interesting contest, which has caused so much excitement in sporting circles, was decided this afternoon. The competitors for aqua tic hon ours were Thomas White, of Bermondsey, and Harry Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the distance to be rowed was from Putney to Mortlake. The state of the river at the starting point was exceedingly picturesque —the banks on each side were crowded by the admirers of the men, who cheered them lustily as they rowed to their respective stations. Fortune smiled on White from the commencement of the con test by giving him choice of station, and he accord ingly selected the Middlesex side of the Thames. At fifteen minutes past three the men rowed to the centre of Putney-bridge, and 18 minutes past the hour, after a couple of abortive attempts, a beautiful start was effected. White's first stroke was a miracle—he seemed completely to lift his boat out of the water, the effect of which was to give him an immediate advantage over Clasper. In six minutes from leaving Putney-bridge White was off the Crab Tree two or three lengths in advance of Clasper. Ilammersmith-bridge was next reached in 9 min. 13 sec., White increasing his lead. At Barnes (19 min. 13 seconds.) White, who had the race all to himself, frequently turned his head to witness his competi tor's vain, but plucky, attempt to overhaul him, but he (White) was now sure of victory, and the win ning post was reached in 23 minutes 12 seconds from the time of starting ; Clasper being about 130 to 150 yards to the rear. During the race it was evident that Clasper stood no chance with his opponent, who was by 25 years his junior ; but it must be confessed that, for a man who has seen forty-eight summers, he acquitted himself very creditably. At starting the betting was 2 to 1 on White, but in a few minutes after the race had commenced it was " a guinea to a gooseberry." The winning man rowed in a very beautiful boat, built by Jewell, of Newcastle, and Robert Bain, of Lambeth, furnished him with a pair of sculls worthy of the tiny craft. _ The race between Francis of Teddington, and Clasper's son over the same course, comes off to morrow afternoon. Francis is the favourite for the event. LONDON GAZETTE-( THIS EVENING.) DOWNING-STREET, Nov. 6. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. Wm.

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S COUNTY. The Freeman's 'Journal states that a rumour reached town on Friday evening that a gentleman named Richard Ely had been shot at a plau called Kyle, in the Queen's County, and dangerously wounded. On Saturday night a further account reached announcingthat the unfortunate gentleman had died from the injuries he had received, and that up to the present the murderers had not been detected. The following additional particulars appear in the morning papers :—" Parsonstown, Saturday.— On last evening between 7 and 8 o ' c l oc k a deter mined 'attempt was made to take the life of Mr. R. Ely, who resides at Ballaghmore Castle, midway between Borris•in-Ossory and Roscrea. The as sassin was concealed in r..a shrubbery contiguous to his residence, and while Mr. Ely was passing through a small wicket he was fired at, and the contents took effect on his left arm, above the elbow, which is greatly shattered, and it is appre hended will end fatally. Mr. Ely is a gentleman of the most benevolent and popular habits, and was one most unlikely to make any enemy. This attempt on his life is unaccountable, and has caused a great and widespread sensation." " Another Account.—Mr. Ely was going to his brother's house when he was fired .at. It is said that he will this day undergo amputation of the arm; but faint hopes are entertained of his re covery. _ _ " farsonstown, Sunday Evening.—A televaphic despatch which appeared in our second edition of Saturday last stated that the life of the above name respected gentleman had been attempted by an armed assassin, who fired at him on the previous evening when passing through a small gate on his ~r ounds, and wounded him, as apprehended, fatally. The unfortunate gentleman lingered on till about 1 o'clock on the following day (Saturday) when he expired from the effects of the wound so inflicted. As already stated, he was a gentleman of kind, benevolent, and popular habits, and his savage murder can only be accounted for by a supposition, which has been hinted at, that it was in consequence •of carrying out the suppression of prevalent poach ing habits in that part of the country. Another re port attributes his murder to the fact that he wi.s mistaken for a landed proprietor in the neighbour hood ; but this is not credible. Other causes have also been assigned ; but all is merely . conjecture. Mr. Ely was a large-sized man, and it is supposed he was passing sideways through the small gate when he was fired at. A hat was found at the spot of the murder,which is supposed to have been worn by the assassin, and dropped by him in his haste to escape. This may lead, and is reported has led, to the commencement of a clue which may con duct to the discovery of the murderer. There has been distributed at the various surround ing police stations a description of a person suspected, and who, it is said, has absconded. Should any further particulars of consequence tran spire as to this terrible crime, which has occured in what was supposed to be a peaceable , neighbour hood, they will be forwarded immediately by tele graph. • LANDED ESTATES COURT. The sales for the current month comprise sales of estates valued at £32,455 per annum, and covering 72,818 acres. THE IRISH BANK RETURNS. The last Irish bank returns exhibit an increase in the circulation of £766,085, which, added to the increase of the preceding month, shows an expan sion since the end of August of upwards of a million. In the coin held there is a slight increase. The increase in the circulation extends to every one of the banks, and large as it is, it is not greater than that which usually takes place at this season of the year. In 1857 the October returns exhi bited an augmentation of £77,000, and in 1856 the ncrease was £660,000. The following figures will show the position of the Irish banks in the ag gregate now and at the same period of the two preceding years : Four weeks Average Average - enclitic , . Circulation.

The Bank of Ireland is still under the fixed issue. All the other banks are above it.. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. There was a tolerably strong muster in the early part of the afternoon, but in consequence of a large number of the principal bookmakers departing by the five o'clock train for Liverpool, the room was cleared by an early hour, business at no period exhibiting much activity. At first sto 1 was the highest offer on the field for the Liverpool Cup, but at last 6 to 1 was laid against the favourite. Special Licence. Underhand and Gorsehill were neck and neck in the betting, the former , perhaps, enjoying the greatest degree of popu larity. Blue Jacket was spiritedly supported at 9 to 1, while La Maladetta and Cawood were frequently backed at the prices given below. For the Derby 2600 to 100 was taken about Gaspard, who, it was said , has become the mo party of Lord Lincoln.. The other investments require no comment CLOSING PRICES.
