The active demand for money has caused an increase in the other secu rities to the extent of a quarter of a million. The public deposits, in consequence of the payments of official salaries and other disbursements usual at this period of the year, have bee. decreased by about a quarter of a million. The various items of the balance-sheet, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. Increase Bullion .. Decrease ..

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) BOW-STREET. ASSAULT.—John Collins was phced at the bar charged with wantonly assaulting a man naned Birkett. The complainant said that last night, about half-past 10, he was passing along the top of Arthur-street, when the prisoner came up to him, and, witout the least cause or provocation, struck him a violent how on the head. The object the prisoner had in view was no doubt robbery, but before he could effect his object he was captured by a po liceman, who happened to be passing at time the blow was , struck. Police -constable Lambert said he a,v, the prisoner strike the complainant, and as he knew Um to be the associate of thieves he at once collared him aid took him into cus tody. The neighbourhood where tie assault was com mitted is infested by bad characters, and it was only a night or two ago a respectable tradesman was knocked down and robbed by two men, companions of tin prisoner. The prisoner said the blow was accidental. Mr. Henry thought differently, and fined him £3, or two months' imprisonment. A DRUNKEN CAEMAN.—John Daley, a cabman, was charged with being drunk and unable to take care of his cab. Thomas Cooper, the proprietor, said the prisoner had driven for him only three days, and last night he returned home in a state of intoxication without any money, and in driving into the yard he broke one of the springs of the vehicle. The prisoner said he had had bad luck, and could not get off the rank. He had only awned 2s. all day. The magistrate, on looking at the prisoner's licence, and finding a note of a former conviction for drunkenness, fined him lOs , or 14 days' imprisonment. A DRUNKEN HUSBAND.--James Mahoney was charged with disorderly conduct in St. Giles's Workhouse. Ruthin, the relieving officer, said on Friday the prisoner was admitted into the house with his wife, who was blind, but after he had been there a short time he asked for half an hour's leave of absence. Thinking he intended to de camp and leave his wife, who was old and helpless, charge able to the parish, he was refused the privilege of going out, and he then behaved in such an outrageous manner that he had to be secured and finally taken to the police station. The wife of the prisoner said he had for a long time been in the habit of ill-treating her, because she could not get him money for gin. He had spent nearly all her hard sav ings for twenty years but about £5, which she had put aside to pay for her own burial, and because she had told him of his bad conduct he ill-used her. He had on one occasion threatened to knock her brains out, and thus make an end of her, as she was of no use to him on account of her blindness. She had had upwards of £2O in St. Martin's Savings Bank, but the pri soner had placed a false book in its place, and she did not know whether a farthing of the money remained. He was in the receipt of a pension from the Government of 9d. a day. The prisoner denied the ill usage, and said the landlords of the houses ho had previously lived in could bear him out that he had not ill used his wife. Mr. Henry said he would give him an opportunity of call ing witnesses, and he would remand the case for a week. He would do all he could to secure to the poor woman what remained of her money. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CLEARING OUT A MARINER. —Kate Lewis and Jessie Stanley, two smartly-dressed females —the latter attired in a brilliant scarlet shawl, and wearing a turban hat—were charged with stealing a porte-monnaie, containing three sovereigns, from the person of Edward Hooper, a mate of a ship lying in the London Dock. The prosecutor, who admitted he was at the time rather " groggy," said he fell in with the two females about twelve the previous night, and accompanied them to a house in Oxendon-street, and after stopping a short time took out his porte-monnaie to pay for some grog —a bottle of wine. He changed one sovereign, leaving three still in the purse, and put the loose silver in his pocket. As he was leaving the house he missed the porte - monnaie, and as they denied having it he called the police, who took the money from one of them. Mr. Seeker asked the prosecutor if had given the girls anything? Prosecutor said he should if he had stopped, but he never paid for anything beforehand. They nearly cleared him out. He had paid 7s. for the grog. Mr. Seeker—You don't call wine grog, do you? Hooper said he called everything grog. (Laughter.) Inspector Holden, of the C division, said on telling the prisoners what they were charged with, Lewis said all she had was some silver, which the prosecutor said was the change of the sovereign ; but seeing her fidgetting about he taxed her with having the porte-monnaie in her bosom, and on stating that he should send for the female searcher, she put her hand into her bosom, and on withdrawing it he took from it the porte-monnaie containing three sovereigns. In defence, Lewis said the sailor would not give them anything. Mr. Sacker said he had given them some wine. Ile should discharge Stanley and convict Lewis for the unlaw ful possession, and commit her for two months with hard labour. THAMES. SVDDRN TEMPTATION.—ROBBERY BY AN ERRAND BOT.—Samuel Mason, a stout able-bodied lad, aged 15 years, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch value 355., the property of Mr. William Norman, a picture frame-maker, in the Whitchapel-road. The prisoner said he was guilty, and added, " I could not help doing it ; it was sudden temptation." Mr. Selfe—Nonsense. You could help it. Mr. Norman said that the prisoner was out upon errands several times on Thursday and Friday, and had ample op portunities of disposing of the watch. The father of the boy said his son had been at harvest work in the summer, and was always an honest boy up to the present time. Mr. Selfe—lle concealed it in a very curious place.

Golden Pippin was rather freely supported ; the highest offer towards the close was Bto 1. Dulcibella was not in such great force ; 100 to 7 was taken, but afterwards 100 to 6 was freely offered. Plumper and The Alderman were in fair demand at their respective prices, and a little money was put on Mavourneen at 25 to 1 ; but, as is often the case, when there is little business being done, the offers predominated.—Closing prices : CESAREWITCH STAKES. 9to 1 agst Golden Pippin (taken) 14 to 1 agst Killigrew (offered) 16 to 1 agst Barabbas (offered) 16 to 1 agst Dulcibella (offered) 16 to 1 agst Optimist (offered) 20 to 1 agst Newcastle (offered) 20 to 1 agst Comforter (taken and offered) 25 to 1 agst Alderman (taken) 25 to 1 agst Plumper (taken) 25 to 1 agst Mavourneen (taken) 30 to 1 agst Bevis (taken) 33 to 1 agst Moorcock (taken) 33 to 1 agst Glendinning (offered) 33 to 1 agst Ancient Briton (offered) 50 to 1 agst Viatka (taken) 50 to 1 agst Sandy M'Pherson (taken) 66 to 1 agst Starke (taken) 1000 to 10 agst Miss Digby (taken) 100 to 6 agst Osborne's lot (offered) THE "PROPHETS" ON THE CESAREWITCH The following are several of the prophecies of the sport ing writers on the Cesarewitch. They are principally from the weekly publications, as the dailies will not appear till Monday : " Beacon," in Bell's Life, after analysing the chances of the various horses likely to take part in the race, winds up by saying :—" Having thus briefly noted my opinion of the respective competitors likely to contend for the great handicap of the year, it will be easily seen that on MAVOURNEEN I rest my hopes ; and I shall expect to see Ben Webster, Ancient Briton, Sandy M'Pherson, and Rising Sun hold a forward position at the termination of the struggle." " Rhyming Richard," in Ball's Life, concludes with the following verses:— But one, I know, who, should he go, In spite of saint and sinner, The stake will land, and so I stand On WEATHER-BOUND for winner I " Yet, if the oracles are dumb,' Health or forestalment letting, And Weatherbound declines to come,' And totters in the betting, " Then must my Muse her friend refuse, Which cruel to believe is ; Or with him take, for safety's sake, The little Buckthorn—BEVlS." " Touchstone," of the Era, says :—We can see nothing equal to MAVOURNEEN, PLUMPER, and BLRAISBAS among the light weights, and with Starke and Bevis under suspi cion, the heavy weights should be held safe by ANCIENT BRITON, THE BREWER, and ALDERMAN; the lot we are justly entitled to stand upon as our selected, seeing there is not one of the first four favourites among them, and if we may presume to spot the first three, MAVOURNEEN, BARABBAS, and ANCIENT OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS TVITII CHINA. A statement was published a few months back to the effect that a large trade might be opened up by a short land route from our Indian possessions to the western frontier of China, and the project ex cited very favourable attention among the commer cial classes in London and the provinces. Anv one glancing at the map of Asia will be struck with the proximity we have already attained to China by means of our acquisitions in Pegu. From the port of Rangoon our territory extends towards China a distance of 250 miles. We then come to the terri tory of the King of Burmah, and across this, which is also about 250 miles in width, we come to the Chinese frontier town of Esmok. We are thus brought into direct communication with that people almost at our own doors, the whole of the navigation via Singapore and the Chinese Sea would be saved, and we should moreover reach a class of the popula tion with whom we could never otherwise come in commercial contact, even if our political relations with the Chinese Government were of the most unre stricted and cordial character. What, then, is the difficulty ? The first idea likely to occur is that the hind of Burmah would throw obstacles in our way. Such, however, is not the case. The King of Bur mah seems to understand commercial interests better than some English statesmen, for he is represented to be friendly to anything that will promote traffic through his dominions. Apparently there is no diffi culty except the old one. Our Foreign-office are not fond of new questions, and least of all of commercial questions. The Leeds Chamber of Commerce re cently memorialised the Government on the subject. They represented its important bearing on the in terests not only of our home manufacturers, mer chants, and shipowners, but of our trader s i n a ll parts of India. The hambers of Commerce of Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Liverpool had previously made similar representations. The reply has been such as to damp as far as possible all effort in the matter. Nothing was required but a civil negotiation with the King of Burmah, which the Government alone can make, and that in any future diplomatic arrangements with the Chinese authorities the town of Esmok should be recognized as a leading place of trade. Lord John Russell, however, thinks that " much inconveni ence" might arise from such a " novel" propositiott. Moreover, it would be " impossible to protect Bri tish trade at so inland a city," or "to exercise duo control over British subjects." Next to the possi bility of anything that might cause " inconveni ence" to the Foreign-office, the idea of allowing "British subjects" to run without leading strings has always been the most distasteful to that depart ment. The Chambers of Commerce have likewise been furnished with a hint that they know nothing about the true interests of trade, since the very mea sures for which they are now praying, under the idea of extending it, would only bring it into jeopardy. " Redress for any wrong done in such a remote quarter as Esmok," observes his Lordship, " could in all probability only be obtained by applying pres sure at places more accessible, and so placing in jeopardy the more important interests of British trade on the seaboard of China." The Foreign -office doctrine therefore is, that we must shut ourselves from the trade of the largest continents, and Pro vinces, provided any diplomatic correspondence that might arise out of it would have to be carried on with authorities resident at some other locality. His lordship's words, in fact, might be paraphrased as fellows :—lt is bad to trade in the Sea of Azoff or at Odessa, because any disputes would have to be settled at St. Petersburg, and might compro- raise our trade in the Baltic. Avoid likewise alp intercourse with San Francisco, becayse the neces sits of an appeal to Washington would not only create much inconvenience to the Foreign-office, but might interrupt our transactions with New York or New Orleans. In like manner let the Canadians hold no traffic with Chicago, the difficulty of con trolling British subjects at "so inland a town' being especially formidable. It is to be hoped that no one will be disappointed with this view. It may be a question whether the new route will be found so practicable or advantageous as it would seem to be from all the evidence at present possessed, but there can be no question, supposing past experience to be worth anything, that, if it is ever opened up, the task will be performed by private enterprise, not only unassisted, but obstructed, so far as official power extends, and that it will be only when everything has been fully accomplished that the Government will step in to encumber it with help. dines' City Article. GARIBALDI AN!) TIIE WOUNDED AT CA S ER, TA. (Front the Medical Timm.) The following extracts from a private letter to the editor of the Medical .Times and Gazette, writ ten by a friend who has recently visited Naples, will be read with interest. The letter is dated Naples, Sept. 27, and was received this week : " A few days ago I was one of a party which went down to Caserta to visit the military hospital, where the wounded were brought after the unfor tunate affair of Capna. We first walked in the gardens of the palace, where we were so fortunate as to come, accidentally, on a body of officers prac tising rifle shooting. Among these was no less a personage than Garibaldi himself. As soon as he perceived us lie came frankly forward to Mrs. W-, who had with her a large hamper of lemons and oranges for the wounded. On her requesting him to givo orders that she might be admitted to the hospital, he immediately offered to escort her thither himself. A few minutes afterwards the people were a little astonished to see Garibaldi drive off with an English lady and her two daugh ters, without any of his staff, to visit the hospital. I was perched on the box. After a ten minutes' drive we arrived at the hospital, a fine modern building to look on from without, but the wards are too small, and the ventilation is bad. As to organisation there is none. When the crowd out side knew that the General was there they flocked into the wards in such numbers that he could ardly move about. It was a most affecting sight o see the tenderness with which the weather beaten warrior approached the sick-bed. Every one was visited in turn, and he had a few words of consolation for each individual. He laid his rough hand so kindly on the fevered brows of the most suffering, that the tears started from their eyes. It was a hot, sultry day, and the air was very carefully excluded. The reason given to me, on my asking why the windows were not open, was that the air too freely admitted was apt to cause fever among wounded men. Of course there was no answering such a profound observation, but after a few minutes Garibaldi ordered the windows to be thrown open, Mrs. W- having suggested to him the propriety of doing so. Before leaving the wards, where there were about sixty wounded, the most of them having been sent into Naples, Garibaldi made his secretary, who had followed him, give each a patient dollar to get any thing he might fancy. On seeing one poor fellow very uncomfortable with a dry dressing, the usual Neapolitan one, he caused him to be a dressed, and made some observations b water for dressings, by which the sargeons here ou P t re using P r might profit. He asked particularly if they used chloroform during operations,staenpd was answered in advance. On in the affirmative.

He then thought of the needle, and succeeded in arresting the bleeding instantly. So you ace they may begin to use it by-and-by."

If the late Edgar Poe had sat down to invent a tale of mystery, he could not have imagined any thing more strange and perplexing than the child murder which for the last three months has occu pied the attention of the public. The matter, after repeated investigations, remains still as dark as ever. Neither Inspector Whicher's presumed pro fessional skill, nor the exertions of the local police, nor Mr. Slack's unprecedented and almost un- English inquiry, have succeeded in eliciting any facts which can throw any light on the deed of that mysterious night of the 29th of June. The one or two new circumstances which have been made pub lic seem, indeed, rather to confound than to con firm former suspicions. There is no conceivable hypothesis which has not met with almost insur mountable difficulties, and if three or four persons meet they:are nearly sure to have so many different theories on the subject. We presume the public are by this time well acquainted with the main facts. When the body of the murdered child was discovered suspicion naturally fell on the nurse, from whose roots it had been taken, and who, if innocent, must have slept whil e h er room was' entered and a child four conveyed away. Elizabeth years of age Gough was accordingly apprehend e d and under went an examination. Nothing, h owever , was discovered which could even be picious, beyond the b are fact ofthceallaebdstrsaucs: don of the child from her sleeping room. The nurse was discharged, but the detective em ployed, anxious to keep up his reputation for acu men, was ready with another culprit. " I charge Miss Constance Kent with the murder," said In spector Whicher ; and accordingly a school-gi r l o f 16 was dragged into court to meet the accusation of cutting her brother's throat. The evidence w as of the most frivolous kind, all the basis of this con fident denunciation being that a bedgown was miss ing-, and that Constance hal talked to her school fellows about their homes being more pleasant than her own. The girl was of course discharged, and for six weeks the inquiry flagged, and justice was obliged to own itself baffled. The circumstances were, however, so mysterious, the crime so fright ful, and the hope of a solution so attractive, that the neighbourhood could not rest. There is at present a well-grounded apprehension that detec tion lags more slowly after crime than ought to be or than used to be the case. The poisoner calls all the resources of modern science to his aid ; the highwayman takes the train at the nearest station to where his victim lies bleeding in the ditch, and in an hour or two is in another part of the kingdom ; burial societies had to take murder into account in their calculations, and even first-class assurance offices are sometimes not without their suspicions. People are unquiet at seeing an act like this escape unpunished. There has been an uncontrollable desire to get at the bottom of the Road child-murder, and this feeling has been in creased by the fancied easiness of the solution. The facts seem to lie in so small a space, and to narrow the field of research so much, that detection appears inevitable. Once take for granted that no one was in the house that night except the family, and the guilty party among those eight cr nine people must soon be made known. Experience has, however, shown the futility of this hope. Every single in mate has been examined again and again, not only publicly, but in the course of private conversation, and nothing sufficient to incriminate any of them can be substantiated. Mr. Slack's inquiry lasted four days, and at its close Elizabeth Gough was apprehended a second time, to be a a second time discharged, leaving the county authorities and the public in as much bewilderment as ever. The new case against the nurse rested principally on the fact of a flannel, such as worn by women on their chests, being found with the child. All that connects the flannel with the nurse is that it fits her, and does not fit some ether women in the house. The value of such a piece of evidence we leave our readers to appreciate. Then there are con tradictions in the statements of Elizabeth Gough. Now, contradictions are very properly held to shake the force of testimony, and if the nurse were giving evidence against any one else they might be dwelt upon with great effect by the counsel for the defence; but they go a very little way in bring ing home guilt. A woman may give ten different versions of the time she awoke, whether she got out of bed, or sat up, or knelt up, or stood up in it, and of her reasons for lying down quietly when she saw the chi:d's crib empty; but, even supposing her to be wilfully stating untruths, you do not get any nearer to proving her guilt. It is quite possible for an innocent person to tell an untruth for the purpose of averting unjust suspicion. Then there arc fright, stupidity, sheer forgetfulness, all tend ing to make the same person give different accounts of an occurrence at different times. A reliance on these so-called contradictions gen orally shows but a limited acquaintance with human nature and the practice of the courts of law. There is, however, one circumstance of considerable importance which was either not brought forward or not conspi cuously mentioned on the former inquiry. The taking out of the blanket from between the coun terpane and sheet, as if it were used to wrap up the child when he was taken from the room, is one of the most extraordinary parts in the whole transac tion. The blanket was found with the body in the watercloset, with marks of blood on it, as if the child, or its newly-stifled corpse ; had been wrapped in it when the murderer finished the work with the knife. Moore the constable says that when he went in at half-past seven the clothes in the child's crib were smooth, " smoother than I should have expected." " The clothes were turned dowN, and I saw the mark of the little fellow's head on the pillow." The nurse, on being asked if anything were missing, spoke of the blanket being gone. Something has been made of this, as if it showed a knowledge that the child had been taken away wrapped in the blanket; but it is evident that the slightest touch of the bedclothes would enable a nurse to know that only the counterpane and sheet were there, and we are not disposed to attach any importance to the incident. But the fact of the blanket being taken at all is highly significant. The clothes were tucked in, according to the nu h r a s N e v a account, so that it was invisible, and it been carefully drawn out, so as not to d m is n u tu s o r t t b lo t o h k e rest of the covering.

One theory of the prosecution is that the window was so placed by some one inside, who wished it to be thought that the murderer had escaped. But the evidence of one of the witnesses is to the effect that the shutters could be partly drawn to from the outside, as would, indeed, seem plain enough. Still, the presumption that a stranger committed the act is as beset with difficulties as the presumption that an inmate of the house was guilty. No one is sus pected. Only the most diabolical spirit of yen geance could induce any one to secrete himself in a house to strangle an infant. Such moral depravity is very rare, and in this case no one is known to have any grounds of animosity against Mr. Kent.

BRITON would be the lot upon which our selection would fall, and in the order named. " The Stable Mouse," of the Era, says :—Do you know that I have been watching Golden Pippin all this year I' and what wretched performances hers have been, haven't they ? But what are performances when there is a Cesare witch in view ? The money is the thing, and see how they have been heaping the money on. There is, I think, little mistake in it. Now for my pick. I must take two—in a race like the Cesarewitch I ought to be allowed two—l must be allowed two, and I will have two, and they are GOLDEN PIPPIN, or BEN WEBSTER ; and you'll find that I'm near the mark. The writer in the Sunday Times concludes his letter as follows :—Taking certain " moves" into consideration—for public performances go for nothing in the Cesarewitch—we shall stand upon GOLDEN PIPPIN, and the next two in our fancy are NEWCASTLE and OPTIMIST. " Nemo," of the Horning Advertiser, says :—The win ner is likely to emanate from the following half-dozen : Yrs st lb Yrs st lb Comforter 4 8 6 Dulcibella 3 6 11 Cape Flyaway .... 3 8 1 Golden Pippin 3 6 4 Ben Webster 3 7 9 Plumper " Augur," of the Sporting Life, concludes by saying " To attempt to unravel the Cesarewitch problem is no easy task, but in selecting BARABBAS AND KILLIGREW, some guide may be given to those who are endeavouring to discover the royal road to fortune. Golden Pippin's pre tensions I most decidedly repudiate, and shall even ex pect to see horses like Sandy McPherson finish before her. Should either of my champions be vanquished, Moorcock will most likely accomplish their overthrow. " Olympus," of the Sporting Telegraph, writes :—" Upon public form (always the best criterion) Bevis is the only animal that W. Day possesses capable of winning, and as that is all I have to found my opinion upon I must stick to Bevis, despite the appearance of the market, which is dead against me. In making my final choice let me stand on BEVIS and KILLIGREW to win, and failing, the GOLDEN PIPPIN. • " Observer," of the Field, says :—" In conclusion, when compelled to record one's impressions so long prior to the day, some allowance should be made for a change in the market and casualties, and therefore I prefer taking a lot to standing upon one singly. Mine, therefore, shall be GOLDEN PIPPIN, DULCIBELLA, COMFORTER, MOORCOCEZ, ANCIENT BRITON, and BARABBAS, and I trust the tele graphic return will confirm its correctness." well t SIR BENJAMIN BRODIE, BART.—It affords us much gratification to state that,. notwithstanding thefailure Lancet.
