CITY, Two o'CLocs. This being the Ist of November, when the trans fer books at the Bank of England are shut for striking the half-yearly balances, the Stock Ex change is closed, so that no business is being tran sacted in the Share Market. The Mining Share Alarket is also closed. Nevertheless a few outside dealers are in attendance, but their operations are insignificant, and for the most part quotations are nominally the same as on Saturday. The Paris Bourse is also closed, as well as most Others of the Continental Bourses, this being All Saint s Day. A considerable demand is prevailing for money in connection with the engagements of the approach ing 4th. Rates for the best three months' bills are generally quoted at 21 per cent., with exceptional business at 2i. The sum of £20,000 in gold was taken from the Bank for the Continent on Saturday. The Norfolk, from Melbourne, has brought £27,000, and La Plata is telegraphed at Lisbon with £86,161. _ . The proposal of the Madrid Cabinet to deprive the foreign bondholders of one-fifth of their claims shows that financial dishonesty is as likely to be the bane of the new Government as it was of the old. Should the measure be carried out there will be an end to all prospect of progress or stability, and it can matter little whether the head of a country that thus, after a short emancipation, returns volun tarily to its former corruption belongs to an old race or to a new one. Nothing has been better established in modern times than the fact that the growth and power of nations depends upon public credit 'and commercial enterprise, and that where these are wanting the fall of any dynasty and the failure of all political contrivancet can be but questions of time. The moment the contem plated Act shall be consummated Spain will again be placed under ban in Loudon and on all the Bourses of Europe. It is true that after the re cent course of the Stock Exchange Committee in refusing to uphold their bye-law applicable to such a Case as the present, they will be unable to act without stultifying themselves ; but the interests involved are now too large to be trifled with by a knot of dealers who may happen momentarily to be buyers or sellers, and the voice of the entire business community will compel some observance of strict principle. The Bank of England have given notice that on Thursday, the 2d of December, Consols New £5 per Cents., New £3 103. per Cents., New £2 10s. per Cents., Annuities for Terms of Years, and India £5 per Cents. will be transferable without the dividend due on the sth of January next ; ah3o that the transfer books of East India Stock will shut on the Bth of December and open on the 6th of January. At a meeting of the Committee of Wool Importers resolutions were passed to hold five series of sales next year, in lieu of four as heretofore, the dates of commencement to be the 10th of February, the 7th of April, the 16th of June, the Bth of September, and the 17th of November. The im porters generally, it is said, have reason to believe that the alteration will be acceptable to their friends in the colonies. The Manchester Examiner says :---" The failure 18 announced of Messrs. Leonard Clayton and Sons, Spinners and manufacturers of regattas, &c., of C annon-street. The liabilities are said to be con siderable. The suspension is also announced of Mr. Thomas Wagstaff, agent, Cannon-street, with, however, very small liabilities." A general meeting of the Eastern Bengal Rail- Way Company is convened for the 24th November. The Anglo-Mediterranean Telegraph Company (Limited) have announced that their register of transfers will be closed from the Bth to the 13th November, both days inclusive, preparatory to the PaYrnent of an interim dividend of 4s. per share.

The Marquis of Westminster died at Fonthill Gifford last evening, after a few days' illness. The late Marquis was the eldest son of Robert, first Marquis, by Lady Eleanor, daughter of Thomas, first Earl of Wilton. He was born in 1795, and suc ceeded to the title in 1845, having married in 1819 Lady Elizabeth Mary, daughter of the Duke of Sutherland. lie was educated at Westminster, and was Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rutuluruna of Cheshire, and patron of eleven livings. The family of the deceased marquis consisted of—first, Hugh Lupus, Earl Grosvenor, M.P. for Chester (the new marquis), born 13th Oct., 1825, who married on the 28th April, 1852, Lady Constance Leveson- Gower, youngest daughter of the Duke of Southerland ; Lord Richard de Aquila, M.P. for Flintshire, born 28th January, 1837 ; Eleanor, who married 25th August, 1842, the Duke of Northumberland ; Mary Frances, married 25th August, 1842, to the Earl of Macclesfield ; Eliza beth, married 26th Nov., 1846, to Lord Wenlock ; Caroline Amelia, married 23d August, 1848, to the present Lord Leigh ; Octavia, married 28 11 December, 1852, to Sir M. R. Shaw Stewart, Bart. ; Agnes, married Ist July, 1858, to Sir A. Campbell ; Jane Louisa Octavia, married 2d August, 1855, to Lord Muncaster ; and Theodcra. By the death of the noble marquis a vacancy is created in the re presentation of Chester. THE ERIE RAILROAD. _ ___ —_,s,-. The Erie Railroad Company met on the 12th inst. at the Grand Opera House, New York, stock to the value of some thirty-five to thirty-six millions of dollars being represented in person or by proxy, being the largest assemblage of the Erie since the company was organized. The following, after complimentary resolutions to the late board, were the persons elected :—Directors for 1869 and 1870 - Jay Gould, James Fisk, jun., Wm. M. Tweed, Fre derick A. Lane, Alex. S. Diven, Justin D. White, John Ganson, Orlo W. Chapman, Horatio N. Otis, Charles G. Sisren, Abram Gould, Horner Ramsdell, Henry Thompson, John Hilton, Henry N. Smith, M. EL Simmons, and Geo. C. Hall. As Jay Gould was re-elected chairman, and James Fisk, jun., is in the place he before occupied, the management is substautially the same. The general policy, especially the efforts of the board to extend the road and to improve its connections, wore emphatically and unani mously approved; after which the company sat down to a sumptuous collation to eat, drink, and be merry at the expense of the huugry owners in England and elsewhere, and to congratulate that admirable band on a management which had been prefithble, at least to them we presume. And why should they not be con gratulated by the largest and most influential body of the proprietors on a management which had reduced the value of the stock, within a very short period, from 70 say to 35; at present the market price is but 31, and had, without reducing the funded debt, added new stock to nearly twenty millions of dollars, while no dividends have been given even on the Preferred Stock, which before their advent had been dividend paying. The Erie clique have furnished the enemies of America with a fine warning to European investors. "I warn you" is now the usual cry; and its effect is an incalculable loss to both sides. Money is a drug in the French and English capitals, while it could be invested in tho United States at an immense profit to all concerned. It may be, however, as well to keep a drag on investors, and the Erie clique have at least been useful in this direction. They have contracted with the owners of the Susquehanna line to take over their road, paying thom 7 per cent. dividends ; but the marvel is that any company could trust them. Mr. M'Henry appears to have met the fate of all who have. Prior to the rupture that gentleman had we understand, "entered into an agreement for an immediate foreclosure of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, and reconstruction of the company, under the title of the New York and Great Western Railway, the price of sale being fixed at $23,000,000, to be divided amongst the present holders in seven per cent. bonds of the new company in the following proportions :—First Mortgage Divisional Bonds, sterling, at 80 per cent. ; ditto, currency, at 70 per cent. ; Second Mortgage Divisional Bonds, at 70 per cent.; Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, at 40 per cent. ; and Certificates of De bentures, at 40 per cent." By information received after the above was written it appears that James Fisk, jun., succeeded Alexander S. Diven as vice-president, that gen tleman while retaining a seat at the board declining re election to the post, whereby a really valuable officer has been rendered comparatively useless to the company. The classification of the new board is worth the careful consi deration of the English stockholders, and we invite their at tention to it:—homer Ramsdell, Charles G. Sisson, and J. D. White, for ono year; John Hilton, M. R. Simons, and George C. Hall, for two years ; John Ganson, 0. W. Chapman, and Henry Thompson, for three years ; Alex. S. Diven, H. N. Smith, Abram Go uld, and H. N. Otis, for four years; Jay Gould, James Fisk, jun., Wm. M. Tweed, and Fred. A. Lane, for five years. H. N. Otis holds over as secretary, and the appointment of Mortimer Smith as assistant-secretary was confirmed. After the new board was formed it was resolved—" That the president be in structed to carry out the policy which the executive have inaugurated ; that he be directed to proceed at once to carry into effect the contract with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad for a narrow gauge through line for passengers and freight to Chicago and the 'Vest; and that he be authorised and directed, for the completion, finishing, and operating the road, to isssue and the secre tary be authorised to attach the corporate seal for $5,000,000 bonds, to be called the "Narrow-gauge sinking fund bonds," secured by the proceeds of the traffic of such narrow-gauge as is provided for in such contract." We learn that the creditors of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway aro, in conjunction with the Erie shareholders, taking vigorous steps for the protection of their interests. A legal firm of high standing have been instructed to carry the matters in dispute before the tribunals of the United States, both State and Federal, that the question may be finally settled whether such cliques as this Erie board can do as they please with a groat property, and have laws passed to facilitate their projects. The gentle men who bring up this issue on behalf of foreign holders will meet with an earnest encouragement from the citizens of the United States, who have not only to bear the losses in credit resulting from the transactions of the "ring," but the scandal that such things can be done with impunity in the Republic. We may also add here that the arrange ment with the Albany and Susquehanna Road is as fol lows :—" The Erie company is to lease the Susquehanna Road for a term of 99 years at an anneal rental of 7 per cent. on the bonded debt of the road and stocks in bonds, amounting to $6,500,000. The stockholders are to have a stock dividend of 30 per cent., or $600,000, to represent the amounts given the company by the State. All pro ceedings and suits are to be withdrawn at once, and the Erie company, with the least possible delay, is to make a through road to Albany, running express trains to connect with the regular express trains of the Erie and Eastern Roads." Nothing has yet been finally agreed to about the affairs of Messrs. Lockwood and Co. The firm has, however, prcpcsed to its creditors to pay 50 cents on the dollar, of which 10 per cent. is to be paid in 60 days, 15 per cent. in six months, and 25 per cent. in one year. The other 50 cents they do not expressly engage to pay, but their friends say they will ultimately pay in full. Several gentlemen had arrived in New York from Europe, espe cially in the Cunard steamer Russia, to look after their inte rests or those of the firms to which they belonged in con nection with the Lockwood and other failures. Indeed at the time these gentlemen loft in such a hurry a greater smash WAS anticipated in Wall-street, the intelligence sent by cable being the reverse of an encouraging cha raoter. In the Russia Mr. Legrand Lockwood, jun., was a passenger, as was Mr. Paulston ; and other gentlemen were proceeding in rather an uneasy frame of mind in the China on the following Saturday. Messrs. Adams, Kim ball, and Moore have offered 40 cents; which will of course be accepted. filE SUN, LONDON, IVIODAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1869. SIIARB LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND BIOME!. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the witness bad done a very kind and prudent act in keeping the prisoner out of his house and preventing him getting at his wife. The prisoner was evidently a wild and reckless fellow, and would have to find two bail in £lO each for three months. LETTING OFF FIREWORKS AND STONE THROWING.

ASSAULT ON THE POLICE AND POLICE DISCREPANCIES.— Thomas Dunn, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, with violently assaulting Charles Brooks, a police con stable, No. 209 H. The complainant saw two men fighting in the Commer cial-road on Saturday night. He interfered and took the men away, and the prisoner struck him on the nose and caused it to bleed profusely. 95 11, said he was on duty in the Whitechapel-road. He saw the complaniant struggling with another man to get him away. He saw the prisoner striko Brooks in the face and his nose bled. He had to release the other prisoner, who escaped. He then collared the prisoner, who struck him as above. He took one man, and when he returned the prisoner was struggling with his brother constable. They were followed by forty roughs, hooting and yelling, and hurling all kinds of rubbish at them. Mr. Paget wished Inspector M'Donald to take notice of what he said. The first constable sworn told a story in the witness-box, but not the whole of tho case. The second constable supplemented with something more. He hoped this would not happen again. When a police constable gave his evidence he should tell tha whole of his story, and not leave others to supplement it with addi tions. He had had reason to complain of this before.

He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE LOYALTY OP IRLS7I CLERGYMEN. -.- Considerable pain was caused to Churchmen by the statement in a Dublin journal that at the dejoiner given by the Archbishop of Dublin to the clergy of the diocese of Kildare, after the visitation, "the toast of the Queen was received in solemn silence, not more than one-third of the clergy drinking it." It was added that the same recep tion was accorded to "The toast of the Prince of Wales ;" and that when the dean proposed "The toast of the Lord- Lieutenant and prosperity to Ireland" there arose a unani mous demand for a separation of the two parts of the toast The clergy heartily accepted the toast of "Prosperity to Ireland," but unanimously refused to drink that of the Lord-Lieutenant. Very little credence was given to the story, and those who disbelieved it utterly had the satis faction of reading the following denial of it:—" Palace, Oct. 29, 1869.—Sir,—I must request you to insert my entire denial of the accuracy of a statement which appeared in your paper of this morning. At the dinner which followed the visitation of the clergy at Kildare yesterday, the Queen's health was drunk with all the usual honours, every person within the range of my vision—which certainly took in seven-eighths of those present—standing up to drink it, as, I cannot doubt, did the rest. Had it been as your correspondent states, and this, the most ordinary token of respect and loyalty withheld, I should at once have re quested the chairman to leave the chair. I shall not trouble you with some minor inaccuracies in your corre spondent's statement.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, "R. C. DUBLIN." The Bank Returns. The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir culation of the public and joint-stock banks in England and Wales for the four weeks ending the 9th of Oct.

HEAL 7 H OF MR. PEABODY. The following bulletin has been issueed : " Mr. Peabody has passed a quiet night, and is much the same as yesterday. "Nov. 1, 11.30 a.m." "W. H. COVFY. THE FENIAN PRESS. The Irish "National" papers still labour to keep up ex citement on the "amnesty question," but by no means con fine their remarks to that movement. Tho Irishman, for in stance, announces that a "series of papers will be commenced in an early number," by "A Military Engineer," on "Field Fortification, its Theory and Practice, with illustra tions." Another advertisement in the same columns from the shopkeepers of Kilfinane, county Limerick, intimates that their places of business will be closed on Sunday, the 31st of October, "in order that the town may go into mourning on account of the incarceration of the political prisoners." A Fenian sympathy meeting is to be held on the same day at Mitchelstown, county of Cork, over which the Very Rev. Denis Mahony, Roman Cathol.ic Dean of Oloyne, is to preside. It is prominently announced also, in connection with the late amnesty gathering in Hyde-park, that on the 2d of November a meeting will bo held at the City of London Tavern, Brooke-street, Holborn, " of all the delegates, chairmen, and secretaries of tho district committee." The " Gaoler's Apology" is the title of one article in the Irishman ending' thus:—" Gladstone, the gaoler, is fond of Italian literature, Does it not strike him that what Dante's Purgatory' was to his Inferno' the Neapolitan prisons were to the dens of disease and death in which he holds the true representatives of the Irish nation." Of the late procession in London the same journal says:—" The procession in the metropolis of Eng land was grand and glorious in the extreme. A splendid array of orderly men and women assembled to promote any good cause would be imposing at any time, but such an array of the Irish iu the capital of the English is thrilling in its significance. Such a sight never elsewhere was seen in all the world's history." "The amnesty meetings have done this at least (adds the Irishman), the people will now see their way more clearly—they will not Le led astray by any phosphorescent gliMmer from the exhumed car cass of parliamentary agitation." The P. opts is less vio lent, and on the land question comments en an artielee in the Pall Nall Gazette, adding that —" At the bottom of the base minds of these Trenches and these Gazetteers the mur derous idea is lurking which the Egyptians express is Genesis—' An 1 the Egyptians hated the children of Israel, and afflicted them and mocked them,' and said, 'Come, let us wisely oppress them, lest they multiply.' " Tho Dowager Marchioness of Queensberry sends to the Nation £lO for the Fenian prisoners, with a letter of sym pathy. The Weekly News prints the words " The amnesty is refused" with a black border. FEMALE PHYSICIANS. As already mentioned, a meeting of the General Council of the University of Edinburgh has been held—the Right Hon. John Inglis, Chancellor, presiding. The first subject taken up was with reference to the admission of ladies to medical study. The Rev. Dr. Phin, Galashiels, moved, — "That the General Council disapprove of the resolutions of the University Court to admit ladies to medical study in the University of Edinburgh." He objected to the proposal in the first place because he believed there was no need for the admission of ladies into the medical profession. He did not believe in the stories which were so often told about women losing their health because they could not make up their minds to consult medical men. Things were going on well, and why should they not let well alone ? They had no women coming forward and saying that they desired the services of female practitioners. He was convinced that the demand for them did not exist, and if there was no demand why should they furnish the supply? He also objected to the proposal because there was great risk of practitioners of the female sex appearing who would enter upon very improper practices. That was a very delicate subject; but the details which were given of it in the University Court, when the matter was pleaded there, were of the most alarming, he would add even of the most horrible description. Speaking of females generally, he held them to be both physically and mentally dis qualified from acting as surgeons or even as physicians in those nerve-trying cases which doctors most constantly anticipate. If ladies were to be admitted into the medical profession he did not see why they could object to them becoming clergymen, barristers, legislators, or soldiers. Dr. Andrew Wood, in seconding the motion, said that the competition in the medical profession had arrived at such a pitch that many medical men were actually starving for want of employment ; and were they to improve that state of matters by bringing ladies out of their proper sphere into a sphere that had hitherto been occupied by men ? There was no use of being mealy-mouthed on the subject, and he must say that he could not look with any degree of comfort upon any lady whom he saw coming out of the dissecting-room. He did not think the ladies knew what they were going to encounter. Professor Masson moved as an amendment—" That the General Council approve of the resolution of the University Court respecting the admission of women to the study of medicine in the University of Edinburgh." He said that five women had come to Edinburgh, and had taken the necessary steps for qualifying them selves for studying medicine. They had passed the preliminary examination, to which 152 candidates in all had come forward. The results of the examination were that not one of the five women were "plucked," and four of them were among the very first in all or most of the subjects. As to the objections to the admission of ladies to medical study, there was 'a phrase which was a summary of the whole, namely, "the sphere of women." That phrase was a phrase which was meaningless, hurtful and prejudi cial. The sphere of women, who could tell what it was? The sphere of men, who oould tell what it was ? The sphere of man or woman was the whole round of space, any posi tion they could fill honourably or usefully by their mind or their ability. From the beginning of the world women had attended sick beds, and nursed, and laid out corpses. Professor Bennett, in seconding the; amendment, said that the effect of refusing to admit ladies would be to compel them to go to Paris for that education which they could not obtein at home. Professor Macdonald, St. Andrews, thought there was no use in forcing ladies into a university, some members of which were opposed to receiving them. Let them get qualified the best way they could, whether in this country or elsewhere, and if they attained a sufficient qualification they could be presented with university honours. Mr. Skelton, advocate, said he understood that there was a strong desire among ladies to be attended, not only at certain interesting periods of their life, but generally, by members of their own sex. That appeared to him to be a very natural and a very laudable desire. He did not think there was any risk of golden-haired young graduates turning the heads of the young men, or becoming the occasion of amatory odes to medical professors. On the contrary, the graduates proposed to be admitted were framed on a much severer model—the model of :the Minerva Medica. Prin cipal Sir Alexander Grant said he thought the Council should leave it to the applicants to find out whether the medical profession was suitable for them. Dr. Alexander Wood said that if women were fit to enter the medical pro fession, and fit to compete with men in it, he was sure there was not a member who would not bid them " God speed." He repudiated the insinuation that there was any thing of a degrading or impure tendency in medical studies On a division Professor Masson's amendment was carried by a large majority. A committee was appointed to con• sider whether the regulations as to.the degree of Bachelor of Divinity might not with advantage be modified so as tc admit " candidates who are-not members of the Church of Scotland," without requiing of them attendance on the Theological Faculty of the University; and also whether iany changes should be made in the system of graduation generally. The meeting then separated. The Edmunds scandal case inquiry is drawing to t close. On Saturday Mr. Higgins completed his summing up on behalf of Mr. Edmunds. The Attorney-General then replied at great length, contending that the , amount which Mr. Edmunds had received to which NO was not entitled, and which lie ought to refund, was, with interest, £14,719. The Court then adjournectugil neal Thursday. S FOR INTELLIGENCE—This Day CITY BETTING.—TIIIS DAY. LIVERPOOL CUP.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par. and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 l'is.load. per ounce for standard gold. it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London.
