HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Now that the requirements for the end of the quarter have been fully satisfied, the commercial community are providing for the engagements fall ing due on the 4th, and the Money Market therefore still presents an active appearance. The brokers, however, are more willing to negotiate first-class paper upon slightly reduced terms, and 41 per cent. is the general rate for short dated bills. A further influx of £9,000 in bar gold, and 11,000 sovereigns, took place at the Bank on Saturday. Messrs. J. 11. Schroder and Co. have announced the payment of the dividend on the 4i per cent. Swedish Government Loan of 1864 for £,2,223,000 on the 15th inst.

The flogging was inflicted with a cat-o'-nine tails by Calcraft ; and the two Bryants, who are stout, stalworth young men, although they howled and made a great outcry while the flogging was being in flicted, did not appear to be very much affected by it. Tho other culprit was a slim and apparently meek young man ; and although they were all sentenced to receive forty stripes each, Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the prison, who was present and superintended the infliction of the punish ment, felt himself justified in ordering Calcmft to desist after the prisoner had received twenty lashes only. After the infliction of the flogging the three prisoners were taken back to their cells, and when they are in a fit con dition they will be removed to undergo the remainder of their sentence. • SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. --41.'

MARKE TS.--This Day. -0- MARK LANI. The trade for wheat in tho country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and the value of good and fine dry produce had an upward tendency. Fino barley was firm and commanded high rates. For other articles there was a steady demand, on rather higher terms. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and higher prices are obtained. All descriptions of spring corn are selling at full quotations. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flour had increased, and that an advance had taken place in prices. . , Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports, from abroad • consisted of 16,461 quarters of wheat, 7,460 barley, 23,023 oats, 1,400 beans, 542 linseed, 1,063 cake and oilseeds, 2,888 maize, 114 sundry seeds, and 635 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very moder ate, and the condition of the pro . duce was but middling: The trade for all qualities ruled firm, and high prices were demanded ; but the demand was far from active, and sales progressed slowly, at, for the most part, the prices of Monday last. In some instances fine dry samples commanded rather more money. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat• For most qualities theft) was a fair demand, and last Mon day's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full quotations. The supply of barley on sale was very moderate, and the barley trade was firm, at extreme rates. The malt trade was firm in the extreme, and fresh prices were obtained. There was a good demand for oats, at an improvement in value of is. per quarter for Monday last. The market was fairly supplied, chiefly with foreign produce. Very few beans were on offer, and fully late prices wore obtained. Peas fully supported late rates. The market was scan tily supplied. There was a moderate demand for flour, and prices ruled firm. East India linseed and rapeseed moved off steadily, at full prices; but in other seeds very little business was transacted. Tares were a dull inquiry. Cakes were in dull request at quite late rates. ' CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASI.TRE.

Sir William Mansfield's action on the " find ing" and " sentence" of the court-martial on Capt. Jervis deserves special attention. The circum stances are such a glaring outrage on all our ideas of justice that it is more than probable that an outcry will be raised throughout the country. In a celebrated civil case in Calcutta, involving the honour of some military men, a Judge-Advo cate-General, when examined on oath, stated that he lived by the breath of the Commander-in-Chief, and knew no law but his will. Sir William Mans field has willed that Captain Jervis should be ruined, and being a man of great ability and strong determination he has thus far succeeded in crushing hisfoe. We say foe, because, in spite of thedifference of their stations, Sir William Mansfield has Shown even in court so strong an animus against this gen tleman that the President felt compelled to call him to order. This fact stands on the proceedings of the court, while it is notorious that the " charge" arose from a squabble in the chief's household, touching the expenditure for sauces, pickles, and tongues. Sir William being the author of the charges, being the individual injured by the alleged defalcation of his " aide"—being the principal wit ness—was manifestly not the person to confirm the proceedings of the court. The finding acquits the prisoner of the charges affecting his character as an honest man, but brings him in guilty of the insubor dination, arising from the indignation with which he met such gross imputations. Captain Jervis has, under extreme provocation, acted indiscreetly ; and the question before the English public is, whether such action, under such circumstances, deserves the punishment his accuser has meted out to him ? Of all tribunals a court, martial requires the closest revision. The officers who compose it are generally ignorant alike of the laws of equity, and, worse still, of the laws of evi dence. Officers commanding regiments were clearly not the proper members to sit on such a trial. In the first place, the inclination of smaller chiefs is to support the greater chief in the exercise of his despotic authority. To sway with the iron hand, and by the Will of the ruler, is more or less the leaning of persons so placed. To crush faction and opposition under the heel is the clear tendency of military power. We have no hesitation in adding, that an injury was done to the public service by withdrawing from their work five officers then in the actual command of regiments, and we fear the reason was because the intelli gence of the Commander-in-Chief showed him the truth of what we state. Nor is this all. These officers come directly under his authority. It is probable he will inspect each of their regiments during the winter. If a Judge-Advocate-General lives by the breath of his military chief, much more so does the commander of a regiment. The in stinct, then, of a large number of the court was for the chief and against the prisoner ; and, worse still, if the commander-in-Chief be vindictive their in terests were involved. It is true the vote or opinion of any particular member is not recorded ; still men who live by the breath of another would always in such cases be apt to act with extreme prudence. We maintain that in such a case the members should have been selected from the field officers of regiments not in command. We are not aware whether the prisoner rained any objection to the members composing the court, but we feel confident that had he done so on the grounds we have ad vanced his objections would have been at once overruled. While we consider-the court ill qualified for an impartial finding, we object in toto to the revision and confirmation of its proceedings by the real prosecutor. Imagine a judge sitting on a bench to try a man whom he had accused of swin dling him, and one, too, who had hitherto lived in his house on terms of intimacy with him. Imagine this judge descending from the bench into the wit ness-box to give is evidence against the prisoner, and again . tak;ug his seat to receive the verdict of the jury. Further, suppose that every juryman held his office under the supervision of the judge, and we have the case much as it stood in the trial of Captain Jervis. If the jury found the prisoner guilty only of insolence to the judge and re commended him to mercy, and if the judge passed the full sentence of the law on the prisoner, while he censured the jury for their " re commendation," we would have this Simla case com . plete. If these be English ideas of jurisprudence, we have . a very mistaken notion of the laws of this country. Our own impression was that the " pro ceedings" would be sent home to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cambridge, for his action the Indian Chief declining, under the peculiar circumstances, to avail himself of his legal authority. Had Sir William read the leading article in the Times, it is probable that he would have paused before he committed himself to such a decision. That journal has distinctly stated that, after a careful perusal of the evidence, it had arrived at a conclusion fa vourable to the prisoner, and it is not likely that that great power will allow so extraordinary a sentence to pass unchallenged. If the Times takes it up, and holds the view we have expressed, the greatest folly Sir William will have committed will have been his last official act in this case. A very light effort of a power that sways empires will be requ'red to crush an Indian Commander-in- Chief, and Heaven help Sir William Mansfield if the Thunderer comes down in wrath on his head. —A nglo-A m erica n Times. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was extensively supplied with foreign stock in fair average condition. Tho demand ruled steady, and the quotations were supported. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts was moderate, but there were several head on offer from last week. Good and prime stock moved off steadily at full quotations. Inferior . breeds, however, were a dull inquiry at late rates. The general top figure was 5s to 4s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,500 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers. There were no arrivals from Scotland. There was a falling off in the supply of English sheep, both as to number and quality. Good and prime breeds moved off steadily at, in some instances, an advance in prices of 2d per Blbs. Inferior sheep were a slow inquiry at previous currencies. Tho best Downs and half-breds produced 6s 2d per Blbs. Calves—the supply of which was moderate—changed bands slowly on former terms, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per Slbs. _ _ - Prime small pigs were in good request, at extreme quo tations ; otherwise the pork trade was heavy,at last week's currency. TALLOW. The tallow trade is steady without material change in prices. P.Y.C. is quoted at 448 9d per cwt. on the spot.

BOW-,STB<EET. Thomas Gibbs, a private in the Fusilier Guards, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch. From the zvidenco of police-constable Picton, 101 F, it appeared that the prosocUtor and the prisoner were seen together last night in the Strand, and afterwards to go down Buckingham-street, with their arms round each others neck. Shortly after he again met the prosecutor, and seeing that he was very drunk, he pointed out to him that his watch-guard was hanging loose, and then he found out that his watch had boon taken, upon which the soldier ran away. He was pursued and eventually taken into custody in Chandos-street. A witness named Perry said he was standing at the corner of Buckingham street, last night, and saw the soldier running away pur sued by two persons. Ho observed him stoop down and put something on the ground, after which he (witness) went to the spot and found the watch, which the prosecu tor identified as his property. The soldier said he was not the person who had stolen the watch; that he had not been in the prosecutor's com pany at all last evening; and that the whole thing was a mistake as far as lie was concerned. Tho prosecutor had been walking about and treating three soldiers, but he was not one of them. Mr. Flowers said the evidence was quite sufficient for him to send the matter for trial at the sessions. Tho prisoner was committed for trial. Francis Knight and Mary Brennan were charged with having in their possession two valuable oil paintings, which had been stolen from Mr. Thomas Warren, picture dealer, of Broker's-alley. The prosecutor said about three weeks ago, after he had securely fastened up his shop and reAred to bed, he heard a loud noise. •On getting up he found the shutters had boon forced open and seven paintings stolen. Two of th 3 paintings had been found in the possession of the pri soners, and the only explanation they could give was that they had been left at their lodgings by a person for safety. Tho prisoners were remanded for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Currnict AND WOUNDING.—Joseph Bartley, a young man, living at No. 21, Ofrendon-street, Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cutting and wounding a man named James Johnson with a knife, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. James Byrne, breeches-maker, of No. 24, Sherwood street, said—Last night, about 11 o'clock, I saw a crowd at the top of the Haymarket, and on going up found that it was caused by a fight between the prisoner and another man. I saw the prisoner, while lying on the top of the other man, striko him three distinct times on the head. 1 called to the bystanders to take the prisoner off, and when he was taken away from the other man the latter called out, " I'm robbed." The prisoner ran away, but was taken by the police. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the other man wounded ? Witness. Oh, yes sir; he received several wounds, and is in the Charing-cross Hospital. I saw the prisoner strike the man three times while on the ground, and when he wont away I followed him, being determined not to lot him escape. Mr. Tyrwhitt.—You acted very Welrin„-the matter. Benjamin Jeffery, 325 A. —Seeing a crowd collected at the tor of the Haymarket last night I wont up and found a man named Johnson with blood running from wounds on his head. I took Johnson to the Charing Cross Hospital when it was found that ho had seven distinct wounds on his head, and the prisoner was taken into 'custody. The constable handed the magistrate a certificate signed by the house surgeon of the Charing-cross Hospital, stating that Johnson was unable to leave in consequence of the injuries he had received.

Yester day, more than 600, old men, women, and children arrived at the Piraeus, seeking an asylum in Greece. The municipal authorities have assigned them lodg ings, and a subscription has been opened for their benefit ; and notwithstanding the scarcity of money, of which every one complains, the contributions have been abundant.

Julius, The Rake, Hermit, Knight of the Garter, Hippia, Chapel Royal, Fridry, &c., continue to do first-class. Fitzroy is worth a trifling investment for the Derby.

THE NEWMARKET NURSERIES.—This race has hitherto been divided into "classes," but it has been arranged, for the future, to have two separate handicaps, one over the Criterion Course, on Thursday, and the other on the Rowley Mile. Mr. Ten Broeck has purchased Il Re Galantumo from Count Batthyany. The Earl of Zetland has disposed of Quick March (3 yrs), to Mr. Peter Price, of Newmarket. The announcement in a contemporary, respecting the retirement of the Marquis of Hastings, is as unfounded as the article commenting thereupon, and criticising the pri vate actions of his lordship in such very unjustifiable terms, is devoid of the good taste and proper feeling that ought to regulate the conduct of even the cheap press at the pre sent day. The horses in training belonging to the marquis, with the exception of The Duke and Pantaloon (who is not his lordship's sole property), will be brought to the hammer at the close of the Newmarket meetings, as we stated seve ral weeks back; but it has since been decided to sell them at Tattersall's on the Monday after the Houghton meeting, instead of at Newmarket during the progress thereof. The yearlings, we need scacrely add, are not included. Equally devoid of truth are the statements in the same journal re lative to the Duke of Beaufort's and Lord Westmorland's horses. The former never contemplated the removing of his stud from Danebury and placing it under the care of a Cuiragh trainer; nor has Lord Westmorland the remotest, intention of sending all his horses to Cliff. At the same time, we have Lord Westmorland's author it y to g:ve the Sir Robert most unqualified contradiction to the statements in another paper, respecting Potomac's trial with Bama. w hen galloped of Lord Westmorland's horses ; and except Bulkeley's filly has not been tried with Rama orany other to the training with Pamunkey in the spring, beforefegreoeinetg, was never stripped in her life. to Newmarket, recently returned as doing Hart, and Spangle, have been recently Gretna has never been reports from Findon, wherein IGnrertena, Indian Star, Merry work there, we have to state that has been on the sick list d as i u n d ; n o, „ eq uenc o nantd of s panan Warwick, e j uwraynt givenwhasis ftoorPsionmdeonti;me whilstpest; tnuiornuethd.oe3tfeefrrtyrahilelertg at trothsee time n ; away at the Worcester Summer meeting ! —The Sporting Gazette. • A Q UA TICS.

On Monday, at Felton, Mr. W. Dob son, of Thirston, the Coquet's prince of anglers, performed a feat unparalleled, we believe, in pisca torial history. A.bout 4 p.m., while angling on the Felton Casts, below the bridge, ho simultaneously hooked two fish with his well known "tiny" rod, only 18oz. in weight; and his skill was put to the test—" ho had a long pull and a hard pull," and r a i n n g , exciting h e ma e n h a a g s e e d . t oH landow evheiri:, weighing by most gows4ht;dinbe x3,otneaernodpu a real fresh water trout, g 22in. ; the other was a bull trout, weighing 711bs.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN-ROAD.--The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Sept. '29 was 3,199, of which 1,088 were now CUM From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have, in most instances, been more satisfactory, the reduction on the Bank rate of discount having stimulated more animation. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the dealings have been to a fair extent, chiefly, however, in autumn and winter fabrics. At Dlauchester rather higher rates have been current for both cloths and yarns, while in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham a mode rate amount of business has been entered into. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been only a n average amount of business transacted in most departments at about previous rates. too at I 204 10 too I WO 100 100 all 100 100 102 i
