MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. . The directors of the Bank of England, after a brief discussion, have again adjourned without announcing any change in their discount regula tions. They refuse to listen to the dictation of those who, without a knowledge of what is passing within the establishment, clamour for a particular line of policy, because it may have been adopted on former occasions, under somewhat similar cir cumstances. The money market is not affected by the determination of the Court to carry out its own views upon this subject, and the commercial public, if they chose, can negotiate their bills in :the Open market, instead of the " discount-office" of the Bank. The stock of other securities is maintained at a satisfactory point, and there can be 11 0 doubt that the authorities would modify their replations if they were convinced of the advisa bility of an alteration. The next two or three Weekly balance-sheets will probably prove the cor rectness of their views, and the soundness of the policy they have thought proper to adopt. . In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, there Was no animation, and 6,000 bales were sold, at lower values. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices tended downwards. No perceptible increase is apparent in the demand for money, notwithstanding the settlements at the Stock Exchange, and the approach of the 4th of the month. The commercial engagements that will then arrive at maturity are expected to re present a comparatively small amount, and may be provided for without causing the slightest influence upon the discount market. The meeting of the East India Railway Corn- Pally took place to-day. Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P., the chairman, congratulated the proprietors on the opening of the line from Allahabad to Cawnpore, 126 miles in length, which he had no doubt would bring a large addittional net profit to the company. He was happy to say that the works were proceeding, satisfactorily on all the sections where they could be safely prosecuted, and on the whole he considered the prospects of the company highly encouraging. The half-yearly accounts showed the total receipts of the lines in operation to have been £80,899 Is. 2 d., and the expenditure £35,729 7s. 11d., leaving a balance of £45,169 13s. 3d. The report was adopted . We have been requested to state that William Lemon Oliver, who was charged at the Guildhall, Yesterday, with having misappropriated £5,000 entrusted to him for investment, is not a member of the Stock Exchange. The transactions in public securities to-day have again been restricted, in consequence of the anxiety of the operators to . learn the decision of the Bank Court before extending their engagements. The uncertainty felt with regard to the regula tion of the terms of discount has interfered with this description of business for several weeks, and it has, no doubtrprevented the upward movement ;_ n v alues, which mi g ht h ave b een ex p ec t e d from the Forei gn inc reased abundance of money. The settlement in Stocks and Railway Shares is being pro ceeded with, and the necessary formalities tempora- I VY Occupy the p r i nc i pa l a tt en ti on o f th e mem b ers. Very little fresh speculative business is recorded, but one or two large purchases of Consols are stated to have been made for the December account.

(Before Mr. Justice Erle.) BURGLARY. John Johnson, 35, and James Read, were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of James Jewell. The prisoners pleaded guilty. It appeared that the prisoners, having succeeded in effect ing an entry into the house, packed up a considerable quan tity of goods ready for removal, but previous to taking their departure they sat down in the kitchen, and having found some wine, began regaling themselves, when they were 12} discovered. Read was sentenced to one, and Johnson to two, years' imprisonment, with hard labour. CUVTING AND WOUNDING. A young man, named Sullivan, who wore the uniform of the Royal Artillery, was indicted for cutting and wounding Nicholas Barnes, with intent, &c. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. _ _ _ Mr. Frank Talfourd conducted the prosecution. Nicholas Barnes said—l was in Leather-lane on Saturday night, the 17th of October, about half-past 12, when I saw a crowd of persons assembled. I went up to see what was the matter, and there saw two men knocking a woman about. I interfered to protect her, when I received a blow that felled me to the ground. On getting up again .1 called them cowards for ill-using the woman, when one of them struck me again and blood flowed from my cheek. I was taken to the hospital, where a blade of a lmife was taken therefrom. I don't know the person who struck me. Sarah Wood—l live at Baldwin's-gardens. I recollect Sunday, the 17th. I heard a woman scream. I saw a man had been fighting, and the only persons near were the policeman, the prisoner, and a boy. I saw the prosecutor reeling. He staggered towards the prisoner, when I saw him raise his hand and strike him in the face with a knife. I saw the knife in his hand, and the blood from the man's face went on my dress. I know the prisoner is the man by the peculiarity of his dress. I did not go before the ma gistrate on the first examination; because_l disliked to in terfere in such matters. lam certain the prisoner is the man who struck the blow. When he had done so he said, "I've done for the —," and ran away. Mr. Justice Erle—Have you any question to ask the witness ? Prisoner (to witness)—How do you know I'm the man? Witneee—T know you by your dress. Mr. Justice Erle—Have you any more questions to put P Prisoner—No, my lord. I've only to say that the woman's purging herself. (Laughter.) Elizabeth Ready—l live in Baldwin's-gardens. On Sun day morning I saw there had been a fight, and I saw the prisoner run away after he had struck the prosecutor with a knife. lam certain the prisoner is the man that ran past me. I know him by his dress. The red strip in the pri soner's trousers particularly attracted my attention. . William Dayman, police-constable, said—l was on duty in Baldwin's-gardens at the time the man was stabbed. From what I was told about a man having been stabbed, I went into Holborn and found the prisoner in company with his brother. I told them I wanted them for stabbing a man, and they said " It's all right, governor, we are not the men." I said, " You must come to the station, and if you are not the men you will be let go." They refused to accompany me to the station, and I was compelled to ob tain assistance before I could convey them there. I re ceived the blade of the knife I produced from my sergeant. He told me it was taken from the man's cheek. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was not the man who struck the blow. His brother was the person who stabbed the prosecutor, and he was ready to own it. The jury found the prisoner guilty of felony. Mr. Justice Erle said he did not think he should be doing his duty if he did not pass upon the prisoner a severe sen tence, as he had been convicted on the clearest evidence of having maliciously stabbed a man who was engaged in a praiseworthy object—viz., rescuing a woman from violence. The sentence of the Court was, that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of four years. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) STEALING A COPPER COFFIN. James List and William Savill were indicted fcr feloni ously breaking and entering the church of St. John's, Stratford, and stealing therefrom a copper coffin and a leaden coffin, the property of jabez Leff. The prisoner List pleaded guilty, and Savill not guilty. Mr. Robinson, who appeared to prosecute the prisoners, stated the case. It appeared that the prisoners were grave diggers to the parish. In 11350 a gentleman named Taylor was buried in a copper coffin, which, on an examination of the vaults a short time ago, was discovered to have been stolen. He proposed to call up the prisoner List to give an account of the transaction. The prisoner List then left the dock and took his station in the witness-box_ Ho then gave a descsiption of the manner in which Savill and himself entered the vault and broke open the coffins, and other details of a most revolting description. _ _ _ Mr: Cradock said—l am sexton at Stratford church. Savill was a gravedigger, and List assisted him. When once the wooden door was open access was obtained to all the vaults. The outer door of the vault was never left open all night. I was present on the 23d of September, when the vault was examined. I discovered the vault had been broken open the day before. In consequence of the talk in the neighbourhood I went down into the vault and found the wall had been broken down, slime coffins had been broken open, and a copper coffin had been stolen. Cross-examined by Mr. Atkinson—l was absent from one of the examinations of the prisoners before the magis trate. I went with Biggs, the clerk of the church, to see List, one of the prisoners. We had no particular object in going. We had known him a long time. We walked three miles to see the prisoner. We had no other object than to see how he was. I did not say to him, "If you don't give evidence we shall lose our situations." I will be on my oath that neither I nor Biggs ever asked the prisoner to confess. We considered the whole business was very unpleasant, and we said so. We were with List about a quarter of an hour. When Biggs went in, he said, "Jamie, how are you? this is a bad job both for me and Mr. Cradock. I never should have done it but for Savill, and I wished I had never seen him." He said he was working in the graveyard in June, when Savill came up and said, "What do you think of having Taylor's coffin?" He said at first, "I'll have nothing to do with it," but, unfortunately, he said he assented, and went and got some tools, and Taylor's coffin was opened. The churchwardens attached blame to myself. By Mr. Metcalfe—l never held out any inducement for the prisoner to confess to a crime he had not committed. William Wallis said—l am a bricklayer, residing at Stratford. I recollect the funeral of Dr. Samuel Taylor in 1850. I was employed to brick up the vault. When I bricked up the vault there were two coffins there. James Bogden—l am a bricklayer. I was also employed in the vault in 1850. I saw the coffins there then quite safe. William Strange—l live at Stratford. I know the pri• soner Savill. I saw him on the 21th of August last. was in my garden. His garden is next to mine, and List's next to his. He came up to me and said, " What do you think I have had thrown in my teeth to-day ?" I said, " I don't know ;" and he then said ho had been accused of steal • ing a copper coffin from underneath Stratford Church. He then pointed to Lists' house, and said, "He's the - that stole the coffin, and I'm the - that sold it. I don't care about myself, as I know I shall be transported." After he stole the coffin he whitewashed it over. Several other witnesses having been examined, The Common Sergeant summed up. The jury had not returned their verdict wlten we went to cress.

RARA Avis.—A beautiful specimen of that very rare bird, the cream-coloured courser, Cursorius Europous, was shot this week in the Hackney Marsh, near the Vic toria Station, by Mr. G. Beresford, of the White House. It was found in the open marsh, and ran with incredible swiftness, so as to render it very difficult to make it take wing, and thus secure a better aun. The last of this species known to have been killed is in the possession of the Rev. T. Gisborne, F.L.S., of Yoxhall-lodge, Staffordshire, which was shot on the 15th Oct., 1827. The bird is now in the care of J. Cooper, Radnor-street, St. Luke's, for preserva tion, 934 i 9(4 Business Done. 49 51 95 97 1101 103 5 1 61 112 115 106 112 114 116 112 114 128 130 82 84 71 73 109 111 120 122 111 113 104 106 64 66 111 111 94 96 85 E 7 86 88 97 99 9i 104 16 17 9 1 101 72 74 18 19 9 foi 131 14 141 143 1160 165 120 122 7. 1) ' 140 142 101 103 fn 94 96 9: 91 1 4 1 1 111 91 1108 110 99 100 4 dis p d 23 24 119 121 99 101 72 74 120 122 121 123 101 24 24} 102 104 101 103 28/1 29 33 34 38 43 1091 si 103 TILE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. Since the announcement was made a few days ago by the Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company that a message had been received through the cable from Newfoundland, the public have naturally expected to, hear from day to day that the electrical communication has again been firmly established between Valentia and Newfoundland. But since Wednesday. the 20th, the day on which the message was received, there has been no indi cation of a permanent improvement in the electrical condition of the line. As, however, the circum stances under :which the few words which passed through the cable were received at Valentia have not been made public, it may be as well to mention them. On Wednesday, the 20th, the day in ques tion, about three o'clock in the afternoon, consider able appearances of signals manifested themselves upon the galvanometer, with oscillations of the needle equal to 50 divisions of Professor Thomson's scale, which, as they occurred at very re gular in tervals, were rightly supposed to be the usual re versals every 15 seconds. These appearances con- tinned until between five and six o'clock in the evening, when the words " Two hundred," and some 15 or 16 letters, of which no sense could be made, were received. Subsequently, the signals " Can you ?" (no doubt " read") were received very clearly. Messages were, of course, immediately sent back to the effect that the Newfoundland sig nals and words came very distinctly, and, if they could read from Valentia, to send " V ;" but, as no direct response was received to this, it was of course concluded that it was not received. Between seven and eight o'clock on the same evening the words " Daniels now in circuit" were distinctly recorded, together with a great many signals which were not intelligible. These unreadable motions of the needle continued until between nine and ten p.m., when the words " Two hundred and forty," which no doubt alluded to the number of cells contained in the Daniels battery, which was spoken of in the message previously received, and a great many letters and signals, of which nothing connected could be made, were received. During the next hour for receiving, say from eleven to twelve p.m., the needle of the galva mometer was watched most closely, yet strangely, though the insulation of the wire appeared to be in precisely the same condition, not the least indica tion of even a " reversal" was observed, the wire appeared to have sunk into its usual lethargic con dition. During Thursday and Friday, though the most vigilant watch was day and night kept upon the galvanometer, no appearance of returning cur• rents could be observed, though the earth current during the whole of this period seemed to be re markably steady. On the morning of Saturday last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, some slight indica tions of signals and reversals were noticed; but they were neither very intelligible nor enduring. From thence up . to the present time nothing more has been received. And yet the testings do not show that the cable, in regard to insulation, is in a worse condition than it was a month back. It iseertainly a most extraordinary and unaccountable fact that, apparently with all circumstances the same, the cable should at times be found capable of transmit ting signals, while at others not the faintest trace of a signal can be made to pass from shore to shore, even with the greatest amount of electrical power. There is, indeed, " more 'twixt heaven and earth than is dreamt of in our philosophy." The advance of electrical science every day brings to light start ling facts connected with submarine telegraphs of which no one previously had the least idea. Thus within the last few days some important discoveries have been made in connexion with submarine cables by Mr. Charlton Wollaston, of Derby, who has elucidated the fact that currents of water passing across submarine cables produce in them induced electrical currents. To put this theory to a practi cal test, Mr. Wollaston a day or two ago immersed a considerable length of an insulated conductor in the Thames, opposite East Greenwich. As the tide rose, a very considerable current of electricity was observed flowing through the wire in a direction contrary to that of the tide, which increased in force as the motion of the water became more rapid, and again declined at high water, ceasing altogether just before the ebb. When the tide fell the current again manifested itself in the wire, but its direction was changed. The varying and irre gular currents which are observed upon the galva nometer at both ends of the Atlantic cable havebeen attributed to the inductive influence of natural im pulses of electricity which are continually travers ing the surface of the earth. Since that discovery of Mr. Wollaston's, however, it is quite evident that they may partly, if not entirely, be due to the effect of the ocean currents. It is known that a very rapid tide flows in and out of the estuary of Dingle Bay, across which the cable is laid, and it would, therefore, be very easy to put the matter to practical test by noticing the force and direction of the supposed " earth " currents at the rise, fall, and turn of the tide. The Stag, with seven miles of the shore end of the cable on board, arrived in Valentia harbour last night, and Captain Kell will no doubt commence laying it without unnecessary delay. There is one rather dangerous reef of rocks lying about one mile and a half or two miles outside the mouth of Valentia harbour, called the Coast Guard Patch. On this rock there is about ten fathoms, at low water and about 26 fathoms all round it. Un fortunately, as the Agamemnon entered the har bour, owing to the wind being unfavourable, she, was obliged to lay the cable over this spot. It is thought that the drifting of the cable over this place might have partially caused the injury which has stopped the working for so long a period. From this point it will, of course, be removed, and deposited in the most secure and level channel into the harbour. With the view of discovering such a channel, Captain Kell has for the last few days been closely sounding every approach to the bay, both on the Valentia and the Lough Kay sides of Beginiah Island. As there is already between four and five miles of the shore end of the cable laid down, the additional seven miles which will be added to it by Captain Kell will render the rope quite secure against injury from the wash of the tide. It is understood that Mr. Henley, whose powerful magneto-electric machines have for some time been used at Valentia, has undertaken to superintend the electrical operations at Valentia for a short period.

BAZLEY AND THE REP RESTY TATION OF MANCHESTER. Mr. Thomas Bazley issued the following addreSs to the electors of Manchester yesterday : " Gentlemen,—A vacancy in the representation of this borough having occured by the lamented death of the late Sir John Potter, M.P., many of you have done me the honour of requesting me to offer myself as a candidate to represent you and the important interests of this mercantile and manufacturing city in the Commons' House of Par liament. Permit me, therefore, to place my faith ful services at your disposal, and to assure you that my duty, as your representative, would impel me to promote the nation's onward course of peace ful industry and prosperity, in the initiation of which I hope that I have been, not unworthily, engaged as one of its true and early pioneers ; and that I should energetically assist in rendering all the political institutions of this great country adapted to the demands for improvement and to the intelligence of the age. "My opinions are well known to you, and I come before you as a warm, consistent, and sincere advocate of civil, commercial , an d religious liberty. By the promotion of education, and of every act of justice needed for the non-electors and labouring classes, in obtaining for them an extension of the suffrage, under the security of the ballot; by the removal of obstacles which retard the prosperity of the industry of the country; by developing the vast resources of the colonies and dependencies of encouraging b t y he as in si c s r t e in as g e t o a f com merceesta Great Britainwth the ; bywhole world; deviation,bl h a cod t e o of ev e e r q y u iitnatbelree laws interest, n applicable, p t l cabl without the United Kingdom • by it ' p a acific reform, retrenchment, would endeavourto policyeerY• parta nd by and judicious changes, I toadvance . the material interests of this district, and to sustain the honour and in dependence of the British Empire. It is, however, my reform matured conviction that a most comprehensive in the constitution of the representative system of the country is indispensable to the re moval of the abuses resulting from a wasteful and costly Government. "If I could unite the conflicting parties and interests of this borough in support of these prin ciples of progress and reform, which indeed nearly all now admit to be requisite, it would further conduce to the success of those liberal opinions which have often guided the council of the nation, and reflected honour upon ourselves. "Only in the spirit of personal and political inde pendence, accompanied by the sincere desire to pro mote the enduring welfare of this great consti tuency and of my country, and to increase the vigour of the great principles of freedom, for which I have always contended, cio I presume to seek your suffrages. " For many distinctions which I have received at your hands I now heartily thank yt u ; and whether you confer upon me the honour of electing me your representative in Parliament or not, be assured that I shall cheerfully bow to your deci sion, and that either in public or private life, I shall always, to the extent of my ability, guard your liberties and promote your in dustrial inte rests.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your devoted and obedient servant, cc Taos. BAZLEY. cc Hayesleigh, Manchester, Oct. 27, 1858." The Conservatives are getting up a requisition to Lord Stanley to offer - himself for Manchester.
