There has been a full demand for money to-day, although provision had been generally made for the bills maturing on the 4th and due to-day. Bankers and bill-brokers have ample supplies to loan out, but finding an augmented inquiry, they naturally enough ask a little more for all kinds of mercantile Paper. A few days ago transactions were arranged at3 4,but now the minimum in the open market is firm at 4 per cent., with an upward tendency. In the course of a few days, however, it is not impro bable that greater easiness will temporarily prevail, as trade is quiet, and gold continues to flow into the vaults of the Bank of England. Mr. T. M. llarrington, recently arrived by the Yorkshire from the colony, has been appointed manager of the London establishment of the Na tional Bank of Australia. Bar gold amounting to £lOO,OOO was received at the Bank yesterday, as well as 8,000 sovereigns from Malta. There was also a withdrawal for Alexandria of 7,000 sovereigns. The following communication has been received : In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co., it is noti fied that the Attorney-General, who has been retained by the Defence Association, announced to the Court to-day that by an arrangement the question as to the call stands over until next Thursday. beg to inform you, as one of the creditors w ho signed the request to me to act as creditors' repre sentative, that the application for my appointment came before the chief clerk yesterday. It was not granted, but it 'was ordered that notice should be given to me, as repre senting the creditors, of the proceedings in all eases where the judge thought it advisable. The object of my application was to secure the creditors' interests being properly represented in all the important /natters constantly arising in the course of this liquidation. While I should have preferred having - a recognised posi tion, yet I shall still do my best to watch over the creditors' interests, so far as the limited powers possessed by me will enable me to do so.—l am, &c., CHARLES OPPENKEIM. 65 , Lombard-street, London, E.C., Nov. 2, 1866. The movements of the precious metals during the last week have been to a fair extent. The imports, Which have amounted to about £349,225, have in cluded £4,365 from New York, by the City of Bos ton; £lO,OOO by the Teutonia, and £BOO by the Bavaria.

Mr. Gray, Q.C., moved for a mile calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict obtained by the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Shee, at Shrewsbury. It appeared that the plaintiff held a farm from the de fendant, :on which he entered possession on Lady day, 1861, and - on the 16th of September of the same year ho executed a deed of assignment, transferring to trustees his interest in the farm for the benefit of his creditors. When they resigned their trust they left a tithe rent ehargo and a portion of the rent unpaid, amount ing to £9O, for which the plaintiff recovered a verdict against the defendant. Ho contended that it was against the trustees and not the defendant, and plaintiff should have proceeded. • Rule granted. PARR. Y. DENIS -THE ACTION FOR LIBEL AGAINST TILE " DAILY TELEGRAPH." Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., moved for a rule to enable him to appeal against the finding of the jury in this case. The action was brought by Mr. Parr, of pill Telegraph. The libel was headed " Parr's Pills and Helscombe's Cookery," and was alleged to contain an innuendo charging the failure of a certain racehorse to the improper treatment of the plaintiff. The case was heard before Mr. Justice Lush last June, and the jury found a verdict that the innuendo declared that there had been negli gence on the part of the defendant, and awarded the plain tiff £4o' damages. Leave was given to move for anew trial. The Court refused to grant a rule absolutely, but consented to one nos obstante veredicto , with option to the plaintiff to refuse. That option was accepted, and an application was now made to enable the plaintiff to appeal against the verdict, notoriety, for an alleged ',libel against him in the Daily The application was granted. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) THE FRENCH EXTRADITION TREATY-EX PARTE -COPPIN ALIAS DITBOIS. This was an application for the discharge of the above I remanded prisoner from the House of Detention, to which he had been committed by Mr. Vaughan, the sitting magistrate at Bow-street Police-court. The prisoner was charged with having committed forgery in France, which coming to his knowledge he fled to Eng land. The forgery in question was connected with the case of Madame Valentine, which has so' often been re ported in the English newspapers. In the month of August last the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant D ruscovitch, of the detective force, in Regent-street, and afterwards taken before the magistrate at Bow-street. The case was gone into, and sufficient evidence having been adduced the magistrate decided that the prisoner should be sent back to France, under the Extradition Treaty.' Accordingly the prisoner was lodged in the House of Detention until the necessary writ from the Secretary of State for the Home Department was re ceived, but during that time a writ of habeas corpus was granted by the Lord Chancellor, to be argued at the com mencement of term. The case accordingly came before the Court upon a return to the above writ, and during the arguments it was stated that the offence with which the prisoner stood charged was committed more than four years ago, and several other objections, both in form:and substance to the validity of the detention of the prisoner, under the extradition treaty now subsisting between this country and France. It is the first case that has occurred since the passing of the Act, and therefore the decision of the Lord Chancellor was looked upon as of great import ance. _ _ _ His Lordship, after having beard the arguments adduced by the several counsel engaged in the case, decided in fuvour of the decision of the Magistrate at Bow-street . Police-court ; therefore ,the prisoner will be sent to France, and delivered up in accordance with the terms of the treaty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Scott, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct in Hyde-park. Mr. Knox having ascertained that the prisoner had been charged before fined her 40s. or a month. Mary Ann Gate was charged with a similar offence, and was fined 10s. or seven days. Naval and Military Intelligence. We have certainly, as a rule, been unfortunate in our military engineering, and especially in carrying out the plans for the defence of our coast line. Forts have been planted on the overhanging brows of fast perishing sand cliffs only to topple over into the sea, while others have been built on swampy land so un- stable and treacherous that keep and magazine have cracked through, their earthen ramparts having slid from their base an'l filled up the surrounding fosse. The most remarkable of all the instances of failure, however, are those in which the War D epartment and the Admiralty have each an interest. These departments seem invariably at cross purposes. To be convinced of the disadvantages of this opposition it is only necessary to examine. the present condition and intended outline of the connecting water chat) nel between the harbours of Portsmouth and Lang- ston, in front of the Mises lines of defence. The Admiralty Engineers, in designing this channel, in the first instance, had to give a means of communi cation between the two harbours for gunboats of from Bft. to Oft. draught of water, calculating also that this depth of water, with a proportionate width of channel, giving an ingress to Portsmouth harbour from that of Langston that would very materially increase the total volume of water in the former and increase its tidal scour to an extent which would compensate for the water space subtracted from the harbour by the new extension works of the dock yard. As the channel connecting the two harbours had to be formed on the site of the old channel and in front of the new lines of defence at the entrance of Portsea Island from the mainland at Hilsea, the work, of course, fell to the Royal Engineers, and now began the antagonism between two public de partments. What the Admiralty desired to have in the new channel they will not have. The channel will not possess, by abont one-half, the breadth or depth, and consequently_voluniii, of tidal water laid down as the main conditions of its construction by the Admiralty engineers, the designers of the new extension works of the dockyard • at Portsmouth, and the conservators of its harbour. Portsmouth harbour may be irretrievably ruined by such a course of procedure, but at all events the " departments" will have had their fight out. To another class of failures in military engineer ing belong those instances arising from natural and unavoidable causes, owing to the imperative neces sity for taking a fixed position and covering it with a defensive work irrespective of consideration of any expenditure of time or money. These positions are generally found on the salient points of the coast line jutting out in front of river or harbour chan nels, and exposed to all ,the adverse influences of wind and weather, and the ever-grinding action of the tides and shingle. One of the most important of the whole series of the works now being erected to defend Spithead and Portsmouth harbour against ironclad fleets is the extensive fortification, now about one-half completed, on Southsea Castle Point, at the entrance to the Portsmouth harbour channel. _ . _ _ Southsea Point, from its importance as being a' the entrance of the channel leading into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead, has been occupied as a de fensive position from time immemorial. The work now erecting there is necessarily far more formidable than any preceding one, or than was necessary pre vious to the introduction of iron-clothed ships of Following the configuration of the beach ;me, its front represents two sides of a triangle, with ,he apex in the centre. At the apex will be the keep," the lines right and left being massive earth, works of about 1,6001 t. in their combined length, with embrasures cut in them for mounting 20-ton guns, or as much larger as can be constructed, which will be fought through iron vertical shields fixed in the embrasures of 13 inches in thickness. A dry ditch, with concrete sides, runs along the front of the work, and the shingle of the seabeach forms a natural glacis. So far all appears simple enough. The position is one that must be fortified ; the works erecting for that purpose are sufficiently formidable, and neither time 110 f money is being spared in their execution. It is now, however, that the real diffi culties are" just beginning to make themselves felt, and this by means of storms and tidal action with the aid of their great ally, the beach shingle. There exists a tradition that a gorse-covered piece of land once stood in front of Southsea. Castle, where now flows and ebbs the tide. Certain it is that the sea at this point, and more especially on the eastern arm, is gradually and not slowly eating away the land. The shingle of the beach changes also in a most extrordinary manner, and during a southerly or south-easterly gale it rolls in with the breakers on the beach with irresistible force, and carries off with it in the receding waves enormous slices out of the beach above high water mark. The storm and the wave are the motive power of the enemy, and the shingle of the beach its mining tools. This power of destruction was known and duly considered when the present work of defence on the point was designed, and measures were taken to protect the work from its ravages. The sea had found its way to the walls of the old works of Southsea Castle, and threatened soon to make a breach through, but the castle is to retain its posi tion, as the " keep" of the new work and its earthen strengthening ramparts right and lef t have have been brought down to it in line just above high water mark, and any further inroads of the sea must be stopped. The moans adopted for this latter pur pose were the construction of groynes and " wharf ing " as the latter is technically termed, of wood piles and planking. The eastern end of the beach, the partmost exposed to the effects of south-easterly gales, was first taken in hand, and was completed last year. A double row of piles was first driven into the shingle of the beach above high - water mark, and between these was fixed planking 2 in. in thickness. This Is what is technically termed the wharfing, but it is s imply double piling with retaining plank to hold the shingle at its back, and preserve th e contour of the beach. To break the roll in of the sea towards this wharf age four groynes at equi-distant intervals were run .out 88 feet from the wharfage seawards, and the extreme end of these groynes further lengthened out into the tideway by 33ft. of sheet piling. All the piles and planking were sawn square, and the material was beech, except the small quantity re quired for " waling," which was fir. The amount of timber used was 124 piles 12ft. long, 32 piles 10ft. long, 74 piles 9ft. long—all 9in. by 9in., 28 piles 7ft. long, 60 piles 6ft;long, and 72 piles sft. long. The expenditure of beech planking was nearly 3,000 ft. sawn on both sides and edges, and 85ft. of fir sawn on all sides, Bin. by 6in. The heavy gales of February proved this system of piling and groyn ing to he utterly useless as a protection to the upper beach and the fort. The sea rolled in over all, broke through the concreted wall of the fort ditch, and deposited in the latter _some hundreds of tons of shingle piled up against the escarp of the fort, and laying a pathway from the beach to the very em brasures. To remedy this disaster and prevent one of a like character during the coining winter a double row of whole beech tree piles are being driven be tween the groynes and in front of the line of wharfage piles and planking. These break water piles are to be 290 in number, 18ft. in length, and of not less than 10in. average diameter. They are being driven about Bft. into the shingle, and will, therefore, stand about 10ft. above the ordinary shingle level. The intention of this arrangement is to break up the waves as they dash up against and pass between them, and if the piles had a solid footing the desired result would most The piles, however, stand changes with every storm, every tide, and it would be pi and n r o s bh indeed nn b dg l y el ee 1 d ) we almost lorns ;achievedeo sdtewith ti th . no absurd prophecy to say that in the first south easterly gale these " breakwater piles" will all dis appear, and the ruin of the remainder of the groynes and wharfage be completed. The Royal Engineers have a moving beach of shingle to deal with in front of their great work at Southsea, and they have dealt with it so far most unsuccessfully. Their piling and groyning has been wrong in design, and far too slight to hold fast so treacherous a beaeh and breast the rollers which leap over and through it in a win ter's storm, and for this reason a repetition of last February's disaster, only perhaps on a larger scale, may be expected on the eastern beach and battery war. of Southsea Point during some part of the rough season of the year now coming upon us. The western part of the work being sheltered from the action of the south-east gales by the apex on which stands the Castle, or " keep," in the centre may have its glacis, or the shingle beach effectually preserved by the same system of piling that is being tried so unsuccessfully on its eastern side, and the first part of this work—the formation of the "wharfage"—has just been com menced. The plan here .is one line of wharfage, with two projecting groynes lengthened by sheet piling. All piles and planking, with the exception of the " waling," will be of beech, and sawn square of the same dimensions as the,east groynes. A fow words are necessary in conclusion of our present notice of the work of piling and groyning Southsea beach relative to the material used for the purpose. The east piling will no doubt be torn up and washed away in the first heavy south-east gale, but it was driven to stay there And on the west beach it no doubt will stay. Where the piling stands above low-water mark it is, of course, uncovered by water twice in the 24 hours, and exposed to the influence of the wind by night and the wind and the sun by day. Does this affect the durability of beech piling and planking? Tredgold, the acknowledged autho rity on such matters, says, " beech is durable when constantly immersed in water, but damp soon de stroys it." And again, " beech is useful for piles when constantly wet." An order has been received at Chatham directing the B battery, 4th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, with the horses, guns, and equipment complete, to proceed from that garrison to York, the order pre viously issued for the battery to proceed to Wool wich having been countermanded. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. —THE DETECTIVE DETECTED.— Charles George, a middle-aged man, who has been living for some time in Durham-row, opposite Stepney Old Church, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with the commission of many petty robberies. The appearance of the prisoner in tha dock created no small !astonish ment. He was formerly a detective officer. For the last two years he has attended this court three or four times a week, and for some time his visits ivere so regular that his absence for a day or two was a subject of remark. He had been in the practice of visiting the shop of Mr. John Snowden, cheesemonger in White-horse-lane, Step ney, in the morning, condoling with him on the illness of his father, and conversing with him on general topics. Bacon, pork, eggs, and cheese were missed after many of his visits : he was suspected, and a police-constable named Charles Whissen, was employed to detect the detective. This morning Whissen was concealed in Mr.S nowden's shop, where he could see and not be seen. The prisoner paid his usualmorning visit soon afterwards, entered into conversa tion with Mr.lBnowden, and inquired how the markets:were . Mr. Snowden left the shop for a few seconds, and in his. absence Whissen saw the prisoner take up a piece of pork about 21bs. in weight and put it in his pocket. The pri soner then took up two eggs, put them in another pocket and left the shop. He was followed by Whissen, who collared him and said, " Mr. George, you are a thief, you must produce the pork and eggs. The pri soner said, " For God's sake don't show me up in the street ; poverty made me do it." The prisoner's apart ment was searched by William Carter, a police-constable, who found there and seized 2lbs. of composition candles, eight other candles, two pots of marmalade, a can of lob sters, and various other things. The prisoner had been in the practice of paying visits, to Mr. Wm. Ashby, oil and colourman in High-street, Stepney,who said prisoner was there on Saturday night last, while he was very busy, and when be left he missed three pots of marmalade like those produced. He missed candles five weeks ago, and he be lieved those in court were his property. He also missed a can of lobsters after one of the prisoner's visits. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses, but did not shake their evidence. There were other cases against him awl Mr. Partridge remanded him for a week. MARKETS.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

IWItITTEN EXPRESSLY FOR "THE SUN."] This race will be run off on Friday, the 6th inst., , over one mile and a half of the Aintree, which course is oval shaped, and exactly that distance round, one side gently declining, the other rising from the Canal bridge, and the straight run home being about 1,000 yards. Originally 96 horses were weighted for this handicap, including one aged animal, three six year olds, 13 five year olds, 38 four year old; and 41 three year olds, but of these only 32 have accepted, viz. : SIX YEAR OLDS. st lb st lb Nu (Goodwin) Brick (Peck, jun.) 7 10 Mushroom (Shepherd.. 6 12 FIVE YEAR OLDS Belgravo (W.

Miss Harriette had a similar gallop. Friday Went a mile and a half only. Qui Vive and Chapel Royal were in good preparation for Liverpool. Nu galloped a mile and three quarters, and the Squire a mile and a half. Wild Agnes did a mile and a quarter fast. Pantaloon took Ambition a mile at a rattling pace. Jollity went a mile and three quarters. Dragon, the Rake, the Hermit, D'Estournel, Flying Scud, Julius, Hippia, and Pericles, are going on uncom monly well. We have a splendid lot of yearlings getting exceedingly forward. SALISBURY. The Woodyeates team continues to do remark ably well, particularly the Special and Mail Train, whom we believe are both under orders for the Aintree meeting. They galloped a mile and three quarters first rate this morning as soon as the fog cleared off, but the downs were rather " holding." LEWES. Ostregor took Act a mile and three-quarters at a clipping speed this morning, and there is no question about her being one of the first three in the Liverpool Cup, as she won the Cambridgeshire with half a stone in hand, and has done so WC" since, in fact is improving daily. RICHMOND. Lozenge galloped a mile and three-quarters with Bob Chambers to-day, and now moves very free a Zenobia has been eased . The Begum galloped mile and three-quarters smartish. The three-year old Beatrice has joined Elliott's team. Strathconan continues to give Plaudit excellent work ; and Rose g oes on first - class now. Roderick Random has been thrown up. The Admiral is very big. 111DDLE111111. Raglan led East Lynn a couple of miles ; and Bracken, Castanet, Lord o the Dales, and other of Fobert's were preparing for Liverpool. They all look and go beautifully. lIAMBLETON. Lady Vane galloped a mile and three-quarters in splendid form to-day ; and Red Earl went nearly a couple of miles, also moving beautifully. The Stabber took Holstein a rare good spin. The following appeared in our Third Edition cf yester day cvening. LINCOLN. Regalia galloped two miles this morning ; and the steeple-chasers Wild Huntsman, Maid of Kent., Foxholes, and Bitters over that distance. Breadalbane .led Blink lloolin and Knight of the Garter a mile steadily ; and then wont a mile and a h.lf by himself. King Charming gal loped a mile and a quarter. Skylark, V3lunteer, Mush room, and tho Lion went a little farther than that. Amongst the rest iu good work were Bermuda, Clair voyante, Foxholes, Joker, The Nun, Sujah Dowlah, Cheltenham, Verity, Lady-Like, Musa, and Little Trea sure, who did front a info upwards. WOODYEATES. Our training grounds are very heavy, and the foga ex ceedingly heavy, night and morning. The Spacial went a brilliant two mile gallop this morning, and was never better in his life. Mail Train is in his old form, too, and galloped a mile and three quarters to-lay, pulling up fresh and well. William Day can win the Liverpool Cup with either. NEWMARKET. Caithness and Chepstow galloped a mile and three quarters this morning at a clipping speed. Miss Harriette, too, went a beautiful gallop of nearly a couple of miles. Friday and Othello were in strong work also. Nu had two nines at a clinking pace. Jollity and The Squire were in good preparation. LEWES. Drewett gave Adam another gallop of a couple of miles, and she goes like a locomotive. She will get a place at the Aintreo meeting, if not pull through, as she improves daily.

VISIT OF MR. GLADSTONE TO THE KING OF NAPLES.— The Gazette de France says :—" Mr. Gladstone has had an audience at Rome of the King of Naples.

SCUTTLING OF THE SHIP BEVEL& MANSION-HOUSE. (Continued from our First Edition of,yesterday.) Mr. Thomas Ward, of Botolph-lane, said that he agreed with the three prisoners and Holdsworth to allow himself to be registered as owner of the vessel, for which he was to receive £5O. Captain Hugh Thomas Leyland, late master of the Severn, said that he had an interview with Berwick and Holdsworth in March last, and then Webb was introduced. The two first parties explained to him that it was their intention to scuttle the vessel, and described W e bb as being the person who was be s t ada pted to carry out their intention, doan aynthing.

At au another interview with Holdsworth, the latter told him that he was to keep .as much aloe, from We .b, as possible, to say nothing to him ; to have nothing, in f ac t, to do with him. He said afterwards that he waited him to carry a cargo of arms, and presented him v, ith a pair of six-pound revolvers, which he said was a sample- of the cargo. The cargo was stated to ho, destined for Shanghai, and on the. 10th or 11th May Holdsworth gave him £lO on account of the supposed cargo. He heard Berwick tell Holdsworth to put 12 months' provisions on board, in order to give the vessel a good name. Holds worth gave him a bill of lading, which was made up in Holdsworth's own hand, and represented the cargo to con sist of carbines and swords. Ho gave him three other bills of lading in blank, which ho requested him to sign, as time was pressing. Ho did so. He sailed from Newport on the 15th of May, and the vessel drew 22 feet 6 inches of water. There were 2,008 tons of coal on board, consigned to Shanghai. Shortly after they sailed Webb was in the storeroom stowing 12 cases which had been put on board. He said to witness that the cases contained jars of salt. They proeeoded on their voyage, and had fine weather. On the 14th of June they sprung a leak, and he said to Webb, " What have you been doing with the ship?" to which he replied, " No thing." The vessel gained water rapidly, and Webb said to him, " What is done cannot be undone." Webb then proposed to get the boats out, and he (witness) asked him to stop the leak as he had done a mad act, for they were 13 or 14 knots leeward of land, and they might be all drowned Webb had previously told hini that he had made a hole in • the "run" of the ship near the rudder. asked him to stop the leak, and Webb said it was impossible as he had broken the plug. lie asked him to see what he could do to stop the leak, and he repeated that it was impossible to stop it, as the water was oven- the "skin" of the vessel. The vessel was then making water at the rate of two feet an hour. Ho sent one half of the crew to rest and kept the rest at the pumps. On the following morning (the 15th), about 8 o'clock, the crew requested him to get out the boats and leave the ship. He then gave directions to Webb to get the tackles up in order to save their lines, and to get provisions for twenty days. The long boat only was filled with the provisions. Whilst he was in the cabin the long boat droppod astern, and Webb came to him and told him that he should shove off. Webb hailed the long boat, and he took hi _n into the cabin and told him (Webb) that he would destroy them all by the course he was pursuing. Ile (Webb) said, " Never mind, I can buy them all over." He told Webb that this was a matter that might lead to transportation. He told Webb he would not leave the ship, as the transaction would be dis covered, and he would sooner go down in her than run the chance of exposure. Webb said that such things had oc curred before, and made light of the matter. At that time the ship was settling fast. Webb got into the gig with him, the boatswain, and two boys. It was six o'clock in the evening when they left the ship, which, after they got out of sight of her he never afterwards saw again. He supposed she could not have lasted more than half an hour. When they got into the boats there was a very strong breeze, and the water rolled over the gunwales during the night. The men were employed in baling the boats. The coppers, some bacon, and heavy articles were thrown overboard. The gig was separated from the long boat, but they saw her on the lee bow the next morning, and got up to her. They kept company that day. He never saw the third boat containing a portion of the crew after ho parted from her on their leaving the vessel. Three days after leaving the ship they met a Hanoverian schooner, and he and the carpenter wont on board of hor. It was a small vessel with only a crew of six, and as their crow amounted to 17 the captain said he could not provide them with provisions, and recommended them to cruise about, when they would be sure to be picked up. They met a vessel the next day, which took them to Pernambuco. The witness then entered into some further details subse quent to their arrival at Pernambuco, and stated that Webb told him that he was to have £3OO for what ho had done in regard to the sinking of the ship. The case was then adjourned, and from the number of witnesses to b 3 examined it is likely to prove a very pro tracted as well as important inquiry. LONDON GAZETTE. —Last Evening.
