There were no gold operations at the Bank yester day. The Seine, from the West Indies, has brought £10,700. Tile wheat market yesterday closed with steadi ness, at the rates of Monday. In consequence of the half-monthly settlement, and of a l arge amount o f ra il way d e b entures f a lli ng due, money has been in demand for short periods, at 2 } per cent., on Government securities. Advices from New York mention the satisfac tory fact that the State of Arkansas, which for almost a third of a century has laboured, like °f virtual Florida, and Michigan, under the stigma virtual repudiation, is about to meet its obliga tions. The markets for colonial produce this week have not experienced any improvement. The demand fo r coffee has subsided, and, owing to the con tinued u• weight of the supplies brought forward, il • i oes have a ga i n t en d e d i n f avour o f th e b u y er s. The tea by clipper ships is very large, and supplies are now offering. Of these the fine only are taken b y the trade at high prices, and the common to medium grades, comprising the bulk of recent im ports, are neglected. __The report of th e A us t ra li an M ortgage L an d an d Finance Compani (Limited) shows an available total of £15,062, including a previous balance of £217, and recommends the usual interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which will leave £6,312 to be carried forward. The directors of the Australian Mining Company have resolved, with reference to the question of re ducing the liability on the shares of the . company, to recommend the meeting on Wednesday to abstain f rom that step, legal doubts having been suggested With regard to its practicability. The proceedings in the case of the European durance Society were concluded yesterday at a meatour, when Vice-Chancellor James gave judg , dismissing both petitions, with costs against the petitioners.

John Hodgson, an elderly man, describing himself as a linendraper, of 62, Farringdon-street, was placed at the bar charged with being drunk, using threatenitsg lan gatige, and pointing a loaded revolver at one of the waiters at the Royal Music Hall, Holborn. Claydon, a waiter at " the Royal," said last night he saw the prisoner standing near the refreshment bar at the entrance of the hall with a revolver in his hand. As he was attempting to pass prisoner said, "If you attempt to pass I'll blow your brains out." The prisoner, however was very drunk, and he had known him for some time as a very quiet person. He did not think he knew what he was doing. Mayo, another' waiter, said he saw tho pistol in the pos session of the prisoner, and as the people around were very much alarmed he seized an opportunity and took the weapon from him. The prisoner bad been heard to use threatening language towards Mr. Corrie. Mr. Corrie, the musical director of the hall, said the prisoner had been refuted admission on account of being intoxicated, and this doubtless had excited him. He did not believe that the prisoner intended to do him any harm, but ho might, from his excited state, have intended harm to himself. Mr. Flower said it was a very peculiar Way of shooting one's-self by pointing the loaded pistol at another person. If a man was drunk enough to point the pistol, it was not too much to suppose he might pull the trigger. Sergeant Mathews said the pistol was loaded in every chamber, and the prisoner Lad a box full of cartridges in his pocket. Mr. Flowers said he should remand the prisoner for a week, and before he accepted bail for his appearance he would think over the matter. MARLBORO UGH- S TREET. VITRIOL THROWING.—Sarah Hicks, a smartly-dressed young female, was charged before Mr. Knox with mali ciously throwing some corrosive fluid on Fanny Laws, a young woman living in Gerrard-street, Soho. The prosecutrix said, about one o'clock that morning she was in Cook's, at the corner of Windmill-street, taking some refreshment, when, seeing the prisoner there, she expostulated with her for shipping her (prosecutrix's) sister's face the previous night. The prisoner said she would do so again, and while talking to her a friend saw her pour some vitriol from a bottle down the back of her dress, damaging her apparel to the amount of £6 or £7. Mary Grace Lewis, residing in Gerrard-street, proved seeing the prisoner pull the cork out of a bottle with her teeth, and then pour some vitriol down the prosecutor's dress and run away. The prisoner denied running away. After some further evidence, Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial for maliciously injuring the prosecutor's dress, stating that he did not think she intended to injure the prosecutor's person. WESTMINSTER. UNFOUNDED CHARGE.-Mr. James Boughton, a fruiterer, of Fulham-road, was charged on a summons with assault ing Mrs. Elizabeth Mary White, a widow lady, residing at 6, Park-walk, Chelsea. Mr. W. D. Smyth, Rochester-row, defended. The prosecutrix said that at about 8 on the night of Tuesday week last she wont into the. defendant's shop and saw a woman, who was his housekeeper, crying in the parlour ; she spoke to her, and the defendant came in and ordered her out of the shop, struck her in the face, dis colouring it, and kicked her in the side. She went home, changed her dress, and went back to the other side of the street, opposite the defendant's shop, and he gave her in custody for assaulting him ; she was dragged to the sta tion, locked up all night, and in the morning the defen dant said he had not charged her with assault, but insult, and the magistrate discharged her. In cross-examination complainant denied being drunk and making a disturbance, and the Magistrate remarked that she never answered a question in a straightforward way. kennedy, the woman who had been the defendant's housekeeper, was called as a witness, but did not answer, and a summons was issued, but she could not be found. Mr Smyth replied, and called several witnesses, includ ing Sergeant Large, 1 T, who proved that complainant was drunk, very noisy and violent, throwing herself in the road, and that Mr Boughton ordered her out of the shop, and put her out gently, and she made no complaint at the station of being assaulted. Mr Arnold said he would adjourn the case for the at tendance of Kennedy, but if he were satisfied that the summons should be dismissed, he should order Mrs. White to pay the costs. To this Mrs. White dissented, and the summons Was accordingly dismissed. THAMES. OMNIBVS NUILSING.—An omnibus driver, named Thorn ton, in the employ.of the London General Omnibus Com pany, was charged on a summons with unlawfully detain ing a public carriage of which he was the driver. There has been a spirited competition among the omnibus pro prietors between Bow and the Bank, and passengers are taken from one place to the other for 2d. This is a great boon to the public, but the system of " nursing" adopted by the London General Omnibus Company to drive their weaker opponents off the road has been; productive of great inconvenience, and some danger to the public, nor has the conduct of the competing drivers in opposition to the London General Omnibus Company been free from blame. The interference of some competent local authority is required to regulate the omni buses, and their times of starting. In this case taken up by the police it was proved by William Duck, a police constable No. 435 K, that an omnibus belonging to a Mr. Ward was being driven along the Mile-end-road, towards Bow, at a fair pace when the defendant with a London General bus' " nursed him by driving in front of him, and finding that did not succeed in obtain ing passengers, he turned round and drove behind the opposition omnibus for a short distance, and observing the police-constable watching him, ho turned round again and drove in a contrary direction towards the city. Mr. Paget strongly condemned the nursing system, and fined the prisoner 20s. In default 14 days' Imprison ment. " I won't pay it," said the prisoner, "I'll lay it out in gaol." "No, ll t o l w t a e t d y h o i u m w t o o n w t a , 'r" towards i t d h e a n g o a t o h l e e r e s k a o n f d tl p te a i t ) whip who followed him towards the gaoler's roua and paid the fine. WINNING JOCKEYS AT NEWMARKET. —During the week the crack jockeys have ridden with the following results : —T. French has won eight races, Pordham and Gilaloner six each, Butler and Hunt four each, and litnyou one. Jeffery was not credited with a win. PAnwrcit V. TILE DURE OF NEWCASTLE.—Tinder the order of Mr. Justice Willes, the man in possession at Canton House-terrace has been withdrawn, and the ques tion of the life-interest in the mansion of the Duke will shortly come before the Court of Chancery. Mr. Bevill's two year old filly by King of the Forest out of Nimble has been named Queen of the Valley. RAILWAYS.—PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS. With Dividends contingent on the Profits of each separate year. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1869. SHAKE LIST. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE 'FRIDAY. The Patric is virtuously indignant with those journals which have announced that the Government, being appre hensive of serious outbreaks on the 26th, has taken exten sive precautions for their repression. It declares such rumours to be wholly without foundation; the public peace is not likely to be disturbed, and if any attempt at riot should be made, the ordinary means of preserving order weuld be sufficient to repress it. However this may be, it is evident that the Ministry is condemned beforehand by the Chambers, and so general has this conviction become that it is reported that the Cabinet, on its return from Compiegne, will not be quite the same as at present. M. Rouher has accompanied the party to Com piegne, which has been not inaptly termed "la retrace des Ministres." M. Ilouher's return to office would be undoubtedly regarded as a provocation to the people. It has been tho subject of remark that the People Fran cais has attacked the celebrated Note on public meetings pretty strongly. As this journal is believed to be directly Inspired from high quarters, the inference is that tho Ministerial manifesto was not acceptable at Compiegne. The Emperor, according to a suburban journal, is greatly improved in health, and no longer suffers from his recent illness. Ho has observed to his attendants that he always profited by his sojourns at Compiegne, and expressed his hope that this year ho should find it equally beneficial. The Left has definitely begun its meetings. Every evening the members present in Paris assemble at M. Jules Simon's, but nothing has yet been definitely decided upon, though there is an idea of issuing a manifesto to the citi zens of Paris, as I have previously told you. The terms of this document are not determined, owing to the absence of several influential members of the party. News from Algeria on the 12th, states that M. Lestibondois, President of the General Council of Con stantine, has delivered an address in which he upheld a policy of civilisation rather than of colonisation. He quoted the words of the Emperor :—" The conquest of the Arabs should be their redemption ; " and he declared his) belief that as soon as the Arabs had the right to transfer property, and emigrants to Algeria found there the same institutions as in France, the country would be speedily populated and civilised. , The three CoMmissioners of tho Council have all expressed the same wish—that Algeria should be consulted as to her future constitution. Accounts from Aubin state that Count Palika left on the morning of the 13th, having ordered the Commandant of Rodez under arrest for not having arrived with his troops. Two miners have resumed work in the mine. Fresh arrests have taken place among them—a Parisian workman and a tailor from Gua. 1 .17 he workmen are signing a petition for the retention of LI. Tassot. The troops, according to a later account, are evacuating the district but the chasseurs will remain a little longer. A despatch which came to Paris yesterday evening from Constantinople confirms the news that the Empress will not return until the sth or Gth of December. Prince Napoleon arrives this evening, in order to attend tho funeral of M. Sainte-Beuve. It has even been thought that he will be chief mourner. This circumstance is rather significant, when ono remembers the peculiar directions which have been given as to the conduct of the inter ment. A good deal is said of the voyage of the Sultan to Egypt, where he will preside at the inauguration of the Suez Canal. It is now considered certain that he will undertake the voyage, but it has net yet been officially announced, because the Sultan awaited the arrival of the French Empress, whom he wished to bo the first informed. A successor has been appointed to Father Hy ac i n th e . Strikes are all the fashion now, and the last news is that a fresh strike has occurred at Mons in Belgium, where 1,200 miners have left their work. The Eclaireur, of St. Etienne, states that the priests of St. -7 "- , :no will shortly put themselves on strike. There aro many causes which combine to bring about this result, such as the ingratitude of their people, and the dearness of provisions. The great social talk of the day is a duel between Prince Metternich and Count do Beaumont, but it is not authenticated. The judge who was to conduct the trial of Troppmana nu faUos ill, and, therefore, the trial has been postponed. Yestapday evening, at a public meeting at Belleville, some questions relating to social communism were dis cussed. At the end of the sitting M. Gustave neurons wished to read a letter sent to M. Rochefort, but the police agent interfered and prevented it. The assembly dis persed in the greatest order. The same evening, at the Boulevard do Clichy, a dispute arose between the Presi dent and one of the speakers. The commissary dispersed the meeting in consequence of the disturbance that ensued_ _ _ OJLDINAILY ail.a.E.Es AND STOCKS ihar• Eatlwa} B. Paid. Closing Stumm, Price. done.

At the ineinest on Wednesday on Louis Kyezor and Thomas Hyden Green, Frederick William Agar stated that he had heard that Green's real name was Edwards; upon which Mrs. Green stated that he originally kept a milk shop in Cato-street, and having overheard the Cato-street plot, he informed Lord Harrowby, and was afterwards advised to adopt the name of Hidon. Whether the murderer of Mr. Kyezor was Edwards or Hidon we cannot say ; but Edwards was one of the conspirators, and had been at tho time of he conspiracy for some time in the pay of the Government, to whom he communicated every step that was taken. The other man, Hidon, who was a cowkeeper, had been solicited to enter the plot, and warned Lord Harrowby of it the day before that which was fixed for carrying it into execution. Edwards was not called as a witness at the trial of the conspirators, and formed the subject of a debate in the House of Commons ; Alderman Wood having moved first that he should be ordered to attend the bar of the House, and afterwards that a secret committee should be appointed to examine evidence touching his criminal conduct and his connection with the conspirators, both motions were negatived. Thistlewood, after he was found guilty, gave the following account of Edwards : " This Edwards, poor and penniless, lived near Picket street, in the Strand, some time ago, without a bed to lie upon or a chair to sit in. Straw was his resting-place--his only covering a blanket. Owing to his bad character and his swindling conduct, he was driven from thence by his land lord. It is not my intention to trace him through his immorality. Suffice it to say that he was in every sense of the word a villain of the deepest atrocity. His landlord refused to give him a character. Some short time after this he called upon his landlord again, but—mark the change in his appearance--dressed like a lord, in all the folly of the reigning fashion. He now described himself as the right heir to a German baron who had been some time dead; that Lords Castlereagh and Sidmouth had acknowledged his claims to the title and property, had interfered in his behalf with the German Government, and supplied him with money to support his rank in society. From this period I date his career as a Government spy." Thistle wood went on to say that Edwards proposed a plan for blowing up the House of Commons, and also endeavoured to induce men to thrown grenades into the carriages of the Ministers as they passed through the streets. Hidon's evidence at the trial was as follows :—" I was a eowkeeper, and formerly a member of a shoemaker's club, where I knew the prisoner Wilson. I saw him at the club a few days before the 23rd of February; he asked me if I would come forward and be one of a party to destroy his Majesty's Ministers at a Cabinet dinner. Everything was, he e said, prepared for tho occasion, and the dinner was at hand. If I would join them, he said, Mr. Thistlewood would be glad to speak to me. He also stated that hand grenades were prepared for throwing under the dinner table, and that the Ministers who escaped the explosion were to die by the sword or some other weapon. They were also to fire some houses and create a general confusion to distract public attention for three days, by which time all would be arranged. The fires were to be at stations fixed upon, and among them were to be the houses of the Duke of Wellington, Lord Harrowby, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Sidmouth, the Bishop of London, and some others which I now forget. This was four or five days before the Cato-street occurrence. I went to Lord Harrowby's house before the 23rd of February to inform his lordship of what was going on. He was out, and I followed him into the park, where the servants said he had gone ; I met him there, and gave him, while he was riding, a note containing the whole plot, &c., &c." Thistlewood, after the verdict, complained that he had not been allowed to prove the " infamy" of Hidon and other witnesses. If Green, who committed the murder at Whitton last week, was either of these two men, Edwards or Hidon, his early life must have have been of an exciting description. It cannot be correct, as stated in the report of the inquest, that he was advised by Lord Harrowby to take the name of Hidon after having informed his lordship of the plot; inasmuch as Hidon was the name of the cowkeeper who gave the in formation. If he was Tilden, he has probably since that time borne the name of Green. In the printed account of the trial the name of the informer is spelt Hidon, whereas Green's second name appears as Hytlen.—rall ..lfall Gazcite. It is stated that it is proposed to convert the Dept ford Dockyard into a fish market, in lieu of Billingsgate, the lease of which will shortly exp:ro. The Illustrated London News states that the will of the Right lion. Sir Lloyd Kenyon, Baron Kenyon, Bart., M.A., of Gredington, Flintshire, was proved under . .£30,000. A telegram from North Shields states that an ex plosion bad taken place in connection with one of the col lieries at Cramlington, about five miles from North Shields, and that two men had been killed.

The prosecution of the Albert Life Assurance Company's directors, was resumed this morning before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Po lice Court. Mr. Straight, for th 3 prosecution, said the spe cific charge he had to make was that the directors had conspired to represent falsely to the share holders that the company was in a sound and pro sperous condition, capable of paying dividends on its shares, and entering into new engagements with insurers, in the years IS6G-69. It would be for the Court to decide whether the company was in solvent in those years, whether it was known, to the defendants, and whether knowing this they en tered into a design for the purpose of deceiving the shareholders and to induce the public to become shareholders and insure their lives, by representing that the company was in a sound and prosperous state.

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 lis. 106 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in !Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 66 days sight was 107 a per cent, on the tOth hist- At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States.
