ONEY MARKET AN COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. - -T--- TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues in an easy condi tion, and 34, with exceptional operations at 3i per cent., remains the genera l quo t a ti on. A l arger inquiry for _accommodation has been experienced, but the tendency is still favourable. The Bank of England return is very favourable, the reserves of bullion and notes having been largely increased. Annexed are the particulars : Active Circulation ... —n1,598,060 Decrease .. 178,065 ... 14,489,612 4106 268,483 ... 3,508,037 •.• 796 ... 6,094,785 ... 512,512 ... 14,492,034 222,551 ... 534,621 140 ... 10,384,209 Other Secu r iti es No alteration. ••• 4141. 21,256,716 Decrease •.. 157,213 Notes Unemployed ... 6,617,805 Increase ••• ••• ••• •• 473,155 The Western Union Telegraph Company of the United States, through its agent in London, Mr. F. C. G. Ritso, has made a contract for the supply of 6,000 miles of telegraph wire to be shipped to Van couver and Sitka, for the building of the Russo- American telegraph line, which is to unite the two continents by way of Behring's Straits. The English Joint-Stock Bank have taken over the business of the Nottinghamshire Bank (Messrs. Hart, Fellows, and Co.), established in 1808. Mr. Fellows joins the Board, and the management of the branch at Nottingham has been confided to Mr. Russell, many years in the latter bank. The Venezuela Six per Cent. Loan, 1864.—The General Credit of Finance Company of London (Limited) are in receipt of advices from their agents, Messrs. H. Boulton and Co., dated La Guaira, Aug. 9, 1865, of duties collected as follows, on account of the above loan :—Per statement, No. 6 3, from Puerto Cabello, $10,150.56 ; per state ment, No. 54, from Puerto Cabello, $2,184.35 ; per statement, No. 41, from La Guaira, $4,930.51 ; per statement, No. 42, from La Guaira, $20,254.64 ; total, $37,520.06. Bullion Rest Increase . Decrease ... Public Deposits ... Other Deposits ... Decrease Seven Day and Other Bills & Goyernment crease Securities During the last few days there has not been much animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. For tea, however, there has been a fair inquiry for shipping descriptions, buyers have remained without any material alteration as regards prices, while inferior descriptions of coffee have been at slightly reduced rates. Rice has continued In moderate demand at steady prices, while there has been rather more doing in tallow, and quota tions for both present and forward delivery show increased buoyancy. Two o'CLocK, At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 8 per Cent. ltentes were 69 f. 15c. The English Stock Market has remained steady. The effect of the favourable Bank return having, as Yet, had but little influence upon prices. Consols continue at 894 for money and account, and at 90 4 for October. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 894 4 ; Exchequer Bills 3s. dis. to Par ; India 5 per Cents., 105. Foreign Stocks are very firm. Turkish Conso lides are 484 49 ; Mexican, ex all, 24 4 ; the New Loan, 234 4 ; Greek, 204 4; Spanish Passive, 294 4 ; t he Certificates, 144 4 ; Italian, 644 4 ; and the Confederate Loan, 7 9. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been to a moderate extent, and owing to a few speculative sales prices in several instances have shown leas firmness. North Eastern (Berwick) have declined 58. ; London and Brighton, 10s. ; and Great Northern and Midland, each 15s. ; North Western and South Eastern, however, each improved ss. American Securities are buoyant, and in good demand. Atlantic and Great Western Certificates o f Debenture, 864 4 ; United States 5-20 Bonds, 68 $ 4 ; Erie Shares, 53 s ; and Illinois, 784 794.. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Ynaterial alteration. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some in stances a shade flatter. Hindustan, China, and Japan have declined to 19 20, Alliance to 31. Crystal Palace Stock to 38i, and International relnained steady at 61.

MAGAZINE DAY. 411, DUBLIN.—" Not Wisely but too Well," is con - tinued, and the volatile Kate is evidently rushing on destruction. The description given of Colonel - Stamer is very well-done, and the scene is an effec tive one, in which he deceives his sisters as to who was the companion of his walk. These sharp young women were for once outwitted by their dexterous brother. Kate Chester is a frank, well-meaning girl, without any depth of character or much disturbed by conscientious scruples, and such are very likely to fall a prey to the snares of the designing and the craft of the wary. "Who is the Heir ?" is now approaching completion, and its finale promises to be as striking as its whole course has been eventful and its description -brilliant. Guy Luttrell is a vary curious character, and his mov2ments are such as cannot be confidently predicted. The plot of this tale has been so complicated, that its denounement is sure to be anxiously awaited by those readers who have become in terested in its progress. There is an article called " The New Parliament," which gives an analysis of the state of parties that may doubtless serve to entertain some curious and critical readers. The question of Reform is touched upon in this paper, and some of the most glaring incon sistencies are exposed, and the groat difficulties that are found in the disagreement of those who are supposed to think alike are well shadowed forth. There is great truth in this remark on the notable projects that abound—" The Reformers do not know their own minds, as many Reformers so many theories." One credit is awarded to Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald's speech at Horsham, and it is well remarked that, in his discourse, "so much more than any narrow and merely party view is taken of the political situation, that the absence of the Speaker from the House of Commons cannot but be, to every libe ral-minded man, a subject for regret." " Mad Men of Letters" is a curious sketch, and one that will probably find many readers, for it deals with the startling and strange among a gifted but erratic class, whose delusive moments wore often more brilliant than the hours of sanity enjoyed by others. The misfortunes and the miseries of authors have long been the theme of com ment, the subject of criticism, and the study of the ab struse. Some very melancholy incidents are recorded of the sufferings of mental aberration experienced by some of the most gifted of our race, and minor peculi arities which they displayed are also strikingly set forth. " The Pioneers and Patriarchs of Invention" is an inte resting sketch that cannot fail to attract attention. The valuable work of Mr. Dircks, civil engineer, "The Life and Times of the Second Marquis of Worcester, and a Re print of his Century of Inventions," is alluded to, and great praise is awarded to it, as a "monument raised late, but not too late, to a great and modest genius —a national biography which illustrates and elevates our ideas of the past, and a contributicn, which the world will recognise, to the European history of science." "Scones in the Transition Age from Ciesar to Christ" are continued; and we also meet with an entertaining account of " Life with the Esquimaux." " The Grand Tour" takes us to the " City of the Czar." There are some poems interspersed with the prose subjects, which impart a variety to the contents. FRAZER'S.—An interesting number of Frazer opens with an article on Mannahatta, which, as most of us know, is the old Indian appellation for New York. The name is said to be derived from the great Indian spirit Manettio, who, according to Knickerbocker, made this island his home on account of its uncommon delights, since Indian traditions picture it as an earthly paradise, the bay, a translucent lake, full of gold and silver fish, and the island itself adorned with every variety of fruits and flowers. A sudden irruption of the Hudson is supposed to have washed away all these marvels and the great Manettio along with them. The sketches of American life and character given in this paper are animated and life-like, and the story of the early for tunes of the island and the city during its transformation from the Mannahatta of the Indians to the New Amster dam of the Dutch settlers, and, finally, to the busy and brilliant New York of the nineteenth century. Yankees, speaking of its varied population, the writer says It is a short and easy method of travelling round the world to take one's stand on Broadway—the world will pass by you if you stay there long enough." In one day he has seen painted and feathered Indians, pigtailed Chinamen and Japanese, while we all know that every variety of Euro pean nationality and society is represented there. We are carried to a very different world by the concluding part of the reminiscences of a Russian general officer, who tells us the direful story of the murder o the Fmperor Paul I. His version of the affair is worth notice, as being written by an actor in the drama, although no participator in the crime. The picture of the Russian Court life half a century back is not very attractive. An essay "On Lessening the Irksomeness of instruction," very sensibly objects to the ex cessive use of extracts and abbreviations in the reading books. No sooner, it is urged, is a child's atten tion fairly gained, and his interest excited by the matter in hand than the subject is changed. "Supposing that he reads a page or two about Christopher Columbus, by the time he begins to understand that Columbus was a human being sailing about the planet at a remote era, and by the time that the child may possibly begin to wish to know a little more about him, he passes on to the natural history of the elephant ; no sooner does he begin to feel a little at home with the elephant than he is hurried off to Elizabeth Woodcock ; and by the time that he is comfortably buried with Elizabeth in the snowdrift, he is summoned to the Eddystone Lighthouse." The case is, of course, far worse where the subjects selected are of themselves dry and un interesting ; but we are inclined to agree with the writer in thinking that more would be gained in the early stages of instruction by awakening a child's interest by narratives of incident and action. There is a free translation from the Icelandic "Edda," which shows some affinity between the old Northern legend and the German "Lenore." "Gilbert Rugge" continues with painful interest. Poor Gilbert, as is but natural in the humdrum trials of everyday life, falls miserably short of his high ideal, and certainly displays himself in a most unamiable light. But melancholy as his position is, the reader's pity for him is secondary to his interest in the sergeant, who, through no fault of his own, sees himself the cause of so much misfortune ; and, cut off by insuperable barriers from all he most loves and cherishes, Gilbert is bringing a punishment on himself ; for the poor sergeant, convinced of their incompatibility of manners and education, and believing himself to be a drawback to his son, takes his solitary departure at the end of this part. There is another tale which possesses the now rare merit of beginning and ending in one part. It is called by the quaint name of " Abigail," and tells a pleasant story o English domestic life—a little heavy and diffuse in the manner of tolling, but with a point and a meaning never theless. TEMPLE BAR.—" Sir Jasper's Tenant" is not very eventful in this instalment ; but we may trace in this portion some foreshadowing of important events, and the speedy return of the " florid wisdom" of itself heralds a change. Mr. Dobbs is fast fall- - - ing into the snares set for him by - the devices of Gervoise Catheron, and general dismay and confusion will doubtless be the result of the grand schemes Concocted by those worthies. The dascriptiou given of the Picnic is very entertaining, and the uncomfortable results of the merrymaking are not to be wondered at, considering the imprudent manner in which the festivities were conducted. The " Streets of the World" this time sketches Washing ton Pennsylvania Avenue. The place is not spoken of in very high terms, for it is said that "Washington has about the worst name it is possible for transatlantic disparage ment to give it. It cannot be cured, and must be endured, although it has long reached the unendurable stage." " Your Vote and Interest" contains some curious sketches of doings in old times, and the various strange subterfuges to which our forefathers resorted in order to gain their desired end. " Land at last" is continued in its usual ani- mated style, and the miseries of enforced "gentility" to those who had been used to more exciting and eventful lives are graphically depicted. " Grouse Shooting" is a very appropriate paper just now, and brings before the reader some sketches of that pastime, and some account of the best mode in which to follow it. " Through Bucks" is another of those pleasing little reminiscences, which has appeared in these pages, and presents to our notice a graceful series of sketches of some of the most attractive spots to be found in all lands. Country life in England has charms that it possess nowhere else, and those not fortunate enough to wander among sylvan scenes and rural haunts, will gladly avail themselves of this opportunity of dwelling on their worth and merits. "The. Turkish Bath in England" con- tains a panegyric of this ceremony that is almost unmea• cured in its style. Its advantages are said to be great for both man and beast, and particularly adapted to meet the requirements of the present time. " David Chantrey" ap proaches conclusion, and becomes more eventful than here- tofore. Will's engagement with Mr. Magee is broken. off, and David endeavours to patch up matters, which is rather an arduous endeavour. " Lloyds" is a sketch that dwells upon the important mysteries connected with that name, and it is well said, in conclusion, that the "invisible Lloyd may continue to keep a record of the inaudible speaking of ships at sea for ages to come. Day and Martin's blacking would be nothing without the name. Day may be dead, and Martin also, and yet both live in the small stone bottles ; and so it is with Lloyd. He lives after his death, lives not only in England but abroad." " The Ancient Guilds of London" contains some striking accounts of the doings of those mighty agents in the " government, reli gion, and the manners and customs of London in times gone by," as they are designated here. Many only think of the present, and forget and overlook the past. Though now quiescent, and only active on festive occasions, time was when the liberties of the land were defended by these ancient guilds, and these had better peruse the graphic sketch here given of their early history in the days of old. Some stirring verses are met with in this magazine which give a spirited description of the famous river which the local rhyme has thus apostrophised:— " River of Dart, river of Dart, Every year thou claimest a heart." • THE ST. JAMES'S.—The great object of attraction to the readers of the St. James's will, of course, be • the opening chapters of Miss Braddon's new novei f " The Lady's Mile." It is full of 'promise, and introduces us to two distinct sets of characters, with a little separate love drama belonging to each, so that there are outlines already sketched out for the filling tip proper to romance. Dr. Scoffern contributes an essay on the senses, which is very well worth reading, and gives some curious particulars of their varying development in diffe rent races and individuals. The affinity between the legal and literary professions is the subject of a well-written paper, in which the writer pleads strongly in behalf of the study of literature by members of the legal profession. " The Family History of a Looking . Glass" is not, as its name would imply, a biography a la Jane Taylor, but it is an interesting account of the various processes by which a leaf, of which the principal ingredients are sand and soda, becomes converted into the stately mirror that glitters on our walls. It is a pity, by the way, that some of our scien tific men cannot devise some means of prevention or cure for 'the evil effects of the mercury employed in the looking glass manufacture on the health of the workmen. An ambitious poet has taken Mrs. Hemans' famous subject, "Properzia Rossi," but the poem does not bear comparison with its older rival. The author of " Shirley Hall Asylum" continues his rather tame story of "The Village Doctor," and the complicated drama of plot and counterplot taken from the French of Paul Feval is proceeded with at some length. Two papers of travels take us to the Wengern Alps and to the Yangtze-Kiang respec tively. - LONDON SOCIETY.--" Where shall we Go," is the uppermost question in London Society just now, and its faithful literary reflector duly propounds and attempts to answer the query, by the serio comic adventures recorded in three chapters on sea-side experience. We have two in testimony of the holiday-time, another paper on " The Play-grounds of Europe," a " Tale of the Scarborough Season," and a paper "Beside the Deer." "Old English Housekeeping" may astonish modern chaletainos, and will perhaps supply a new idea to the gourmand. "Reminiscences of a Cricketer" shows the ancient game played by somewhat singular aspirants to the honours of the ball and bat. "The Queens of Comedy" gives us the portraits and the memoirs of three leading French theatrical stars. The series on "The Merchant Princes of England" is continued with unabated interest, and sketches the careers of four worthies whose names are well known and duly honoured in Liverpool. The story of "Faithful and T rue" has reached its last chapter, and the lovers are made happy at last, though the course of their true love has certainly ful filled Shakspere's aphorism to the letter. There are plenty of lively and sentimental songs, and illustrations as clever and effective as they are numerous. TIIE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—A plentiful variety is, as usual, found in the Sixpenny, although it does not belong to a very high order of literature. There are lively and readable papers on "Hopping," appropriate at this season ; on "Longevity," of which some astonish ing anecdotes are told ; on " The Police of Prussia," on "Vandyke," and on "Ocean Birds." In the paper on " Longevity" mention is made of an Hungarian family, in which the father. was 172, the mother 142, and the youngest child 115 ! This promising infant was kept in strict dis cipline, and showed unvarying filial obedience to his parents. The " Temple Tales" and the articles on " Popular Physi ology" are continued, and the story of the "Fatal Legacy" proceeds at some length. The contemptible hero seems likely to get into well-deserved trouble by the appearance of an unwelcome visitor. THE BOYS' OWN MAGAZINE—THE BOYS' MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—One of the best papers in the first of these pleasant miscellanies is that on the "Seal," which gives a very entertaining account of Mr. Lecomte's Ataria. The "Amateur Mechanic's Workshop' is anothor department very fascinating to the young, while thero are histories and tales of adventure enough to fill up many a holiday hour. The Monthly Magazine is of the same animated and readable character, roaming from tho Hottentots to the Canadian Volunteers—from the history of seven years in the slave trade to the hospital at Green wich. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE.— This useful home companion is more bountiful than ever in its display of fashions, work patterns, and designs for cutting out and making up endless articles of wearing apparel. The reading it supplies is light and pleasant, to suit the tastes of the fair croquet players and crochet workers for whom it is designed ; but the good housewife and careful Materfamilias may profit by its ample stores, and combine beauty and economy by follow ing its directions. THE YOUNG ENGLISHMAN.—The subscribers to this journal will have the advantage this month of obtaining a musical supplement, but in truth they have no reason to quarrel with the liberality of the ordi nary supply. The Young Englishwoman is of somewhat similar character to the Englishwoman's Magazine, only it is half the price, decidedly more sentimental, and the work designs, &c., are less numerous. THE ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE.—The third part of the " Physiologicatatudies," by an M.D., treats of the theory of food. The writer includes under that head everything that supplies nutriment to the body, and consequently ranks potash, lime, magnesia, iron, copper, &c., as being "as truly good as beef and mutton." A paper on Mediaeval Bookmaking gives us some interesting particulars of the labour of the old monks. Henry, a monk of the Bene dictine Abbey of Hyde copied Terence, Boethius, Suetonius, and Claudia; forming them into one Volume, illuminating the initials and making the brass bosses of the binding with his own hands. Benedict, Abbot of Peterborough, transcribed Seneca's Tragedies and Epistles, Terence, Martial, Claudian, and many learned treatises with his own hand. Unfortunately the results of such laborious application were from their maitre liable to be detroyed, and in a great fire which occurred at Cragland ill 1001 no less than 700 volumes Were omitted; How much of patient industry and love of sehoolarship rid lii lily pried • in those days were represented in those 700 books. We have the third part of the "Memorials of Westminster Abbey," giving an accotint of the origin of some of the chapels. A paper on Arabic Legends giVes spedimcns of the quaint old traditions) 801115 of that shoaling a clirions affinity between the present and the past. Thus the corn= mon pattern of a lady's trinket in our own days IS traceable to the legend of the fouPstoned seal ring of Solomon, known by all readers of the "Arabian Nights." A very sensible and well-written paper on Wesleyanisin does frill justice to the talents and integrity of that remarkable inati, but at the same time shows the extravagances into which his fanaticism led him. " Clear-sighted, narrow-minded, ardent, and indefatigable, conscious of the loftiness of his aim, Wesley was the man to set the world to rights, sup posing only that it were something entirely different from m w u h c a h t e it f tish.e" inTilubeeneweioiftwer e o s f ley t t is glo ar o t m ic y le an l d am rig en id ts do t c h tri hat n s e o s is still felt among us. The midnight tragedy of Ferrara gives a trilling picture of Italian life as it was under Austrian tyranny. " Parochial Sisterhoods" are discussed at some length in the concluding paper, and the importance and variety of the work to be performed by Christian women is especially dwelt upon. The Murder of Major De Vere. Yesterday, at the Judges' Chambers, before Mr. Justicii Montague Smith, an application was made on the part of Earl De• Grey and Ripon, the Secretary at War, for the re moval of the indictment "The Queen v. Currie," and also of the prisoner, to the Central Criminal Court, for trial at the ensuing session in September, for the murder of Major De Vere. Lord De Grey, as Secretary at War, had signed the cer tificate mentioned, that a speedy trial of Currie was ne cessary, and that it would contribute to the maintenance of good order and military discipline if the prisoner was in dicted and tried under the jurisdiction of the Homicides Act. Mr. Justice Montague Smith inspected the documents placed before him, and made the required order, and the prisoner will be forthwith removed from Maidstone to Newgate. THE SUPPOSED CASE OF CHILD MURDER AT WHITECHAPEL.—An adjourned inquest was held this day by Mr. gumphrey on the body of a child belonging to a woman named Mary Palmer, at Whitechapol. Evidence was given that the woman had had a child about five years ago, which had disappeared rather suspiciously, but she asserted she had sent it to a relative at New York. In the present case no proof was brought forward to criminate her, and the jury returned a verdict that death was caused by suffocation, but there was no evidence to show how that suffocation was caused. AN INGENIOUS MECHANIC.—An old man named John O'Connor, of Cardiff, a Working joiner, has been engaged during the past eighteen months in making a pulpit of Dantzic oak, of an octagon form, in the Gothic style. Several architects have expressed their astonish ment at the beauty and good proportions of this work of art. The work, as far as already advanced, is valued at from £l2O to £l4O. It was intended for a Roman Catholic church in Cardiff; but, as the cost has exceeded the sum in hand, the pulpit is left on the poor old man's hands. — Building News. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. - -Tho Liverpool magis trates, at their annual licensing session yesterday quoted a number of statistics to show that their open licensing system—that of regarding only the fitness of the man and of the house—is in reality diminishing drunkenness. THE MONAGHAN ELECTION RIOTS.—on Tuesday the usual fortnightly petty sessions for the Monaghan dis trict were held in the Court-house, Monaghan, before John B. Greene, Esq., RM. Robert 'right, Robert Crawford, John lAendrum, and John Woods, were charged with having formed part of a riotous mob, and discharged fire arms in the town of Monaghan, on the 22d of July. After hearing a number of wiitnesses Wright was discharged, and the other defendants sent for trial, but admitted to ball, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. BOW-STREET. Robert Badger was placed before Mr. Vaughan charged with creating a disturbance at the Running Horse Tavern, tittle Queen-street, and raw with assaulting the landlord. rrom the evidence it appeared that last night the pri soner entered the house and called for some beer, but as he was intoxicated, Mr. Thithman refused to serve him. He began to quarrel with a number of persons standing in front of the bar, and eventually the landlord had to call in the police to remove him from the house. On seeing the constable the prisoner became quiet and went away, but he had not proceeded far when he ran away from the con stable, and returned to the Running Horse. Immediately he entered the house he snatched up a pint pot from the counter and flung it in the landlord's face. It struck him in the mouth, and with such force that the pot was com pletely comrressed. The police-constable by this time arrived at the house, and he seized him with the intention of taking him to the station, but he struggled violently, and the constable told him he had better not resist, and ultimately he went quietly to the station. On aarival there, however, he agaiu broke out in a violent manner, and said he would break four of the best panes of glass in the house. Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner, asked Mr Thithman whether the prisoner was not very drunk ? The complainant said the man was absolutely mad drunk. Mr. Abrams said the prisoner was a man of excellent character, and had he not been so very intoxicated as to have lost all self control he would not have acted in the manner he had done. Mr. Vaughan said, under the circumstances, he should only fine him 10s., but he should order him to find bail to keep the peace for three months in one surety of £lO. The prisoner's employer paid the fine for him, and also became surety for his future good behaviour. Henry William Sledge, the potman at the Goat Tavern, Chenies-street, Tottenham-court-road, was placed at the bar on remand charged with stealing a cheque for .£25 the property of Mr. Vass, the landlord. It will be recollected that the prisoner received the cheque to get changed into gold, and having received the money in exchange at the shop of Mr. Hazelwood, in Tottenham-court-road, ho absconded with it, and nothing further was heard about him until he was taken into custody in Old-street, St. Luke's, a few days ago. The prisoner was remanded for the production of the cheque, and this morning Mr. Vass was in attendance, and informed the magistrate that Mr. Heales, the drawer, was on the Continent, and that in consequence he was not able to produce the document, but a clerk was in attend ance from the London and Westminster Bank, who would prove the receipt of the cheque from the bankers of Mr. Hazlewood. The prisoner was again remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PADRONI AND THEIR VlCTlMS.—Guiseppo Franchi, native of Bardi, Italy, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with begging, in Regent-street. William Hewitt, officer of the Mendicity Society, proved seeing the prisoner, who had a hurdy-gurdy slung on his back, following and begging of ladies and gentlemen, in Regent-strest, yesterday evening. He went up to the pri soner and took him into custody while he had his head in a carriago window, and was in the act of begging of the occupants of the carriage. Signor Luciano, the Secretary to the Italian Benevolent Society, who attended to watch the case, said the prisoner had informed him that he had only been in this country a month, and that he was living with a man named Francesco Rabaiotti. Hewitt said he knew the man and he was a notorious padroni, and had a number of boys in his employ. Signor Luciano said he had asked the lad whether he would like to go back to his own country as the society would send him, but he declined to Mr. Mansfield said it would be a good thing to pass an act of Parliament s to bring up the padroni, who did infinite mischief. There were very few persons who could do so much harm as they could. They brought over young people to lead a vagabond life, and if ever they went back to their own country, they went back without having acquired an inclination for steady industry. They were the ruin of young people. Mr. Mansfield then requested Signor Luciano to explain to the prisoner that he would be discharged this time, but that if he came to the court again he would be sent to prison for a month. THAMES DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN WHITECHAFEL.--JOhn Brian and John Malony, Irish tinkers, and two of the most dirty, foul-mouthed, and desperate ruffians that ever appeared in this court, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk, disorderly, and fighting in Lambeth-street, Whitechapel. It appeared from the evidence of two police constables, named Kitchen and Chatty, of the H division, that they were sent for yesterday evening at half-past 7 o'clock to suppress a disturbance in Lambeth-street. The prisoners were stripped and their shirts were off ; they were engaged in hammering each other and were very drunk. They struck at every one that passed, but did not hurt any one, for their - intended blows fell very wide of the mark. They were surrounded by about two hundred of the thieves, ruffians, juvenile pickpocket; and German strumpets, who dwell in the street, which the witnesses said was the worst in the district, and unsafe even for a constable to pass up and down singly. The shouting and swearing among the motley and dangerous throng was deafening. The police forced the tinkers into their houses twice, and they came out again with their soldering-irons. Before they could do any harm they were taken into cus tody. In answer to the questions of the magistrate, Kitchen said the two prisoners were tried and convicted for an assault on a police constable on Boxing-day, 1862. The constable had been on the sick list and unfit for duty ever since. The prisoners were the terror of the district, and were generally intoxicated. Mr. Paget said it was only three days since he had dis charged Brian, after two remands, and convicted his com p. -;ons, a man and u woman, who were in prison. The scene last evening was a most disgraceful one. He now gate hales if there was al.; case of violence to a police officer in this frightful plass callea. L. T:mbeth-street, he would punish the offenders to the utmost extent he law. lie wished the prisoner's companions in Whitechapel to know this. Ho fined the prisonett 40s. each, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for one month. DAN GEROUS AMUSEMENT.—John Ayling, a butcher ancl waggoner was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with furious driving, Police-Sergeant Whisson, No. 1 K, stated that last night soon after nine o'clock, the prisoner and another man were each driving a horse and cattle conveyance i and racing. They crossed each other, drove close to the foot-path, and on the footpath, then flogged their horses and drove along the middle of the road, shouted at each other, and caused general consternation. It was a mercy several persons were not killed. He secured the prisoner and sent a constable after the other driver, who was equally bad, but he drone off at full speed and got away. Henry Bingley, 134 K, confirmed the evidence of the sergeants, and said the game of racing between the two cattle conveyances lasted some time, and the indignation of the inhabitants was loud and universal. The prisoner muttered he was in the employ of Mr. Miller, and he did, not gallop or race with any one. Mr. Paget—Yes you did. Your conduct was most dangerous and disgraceful. You were racing on a public road always thronged with people and vehicles. I shall inflict the largest fine, 405., or en° month's imprisonment in default. REVISION OF THE CHURCH RITUAL.—It is rumoured that a commission will shortly be issued to consider the expediency of making certain alterations in the rubrics contained in the Book of Common Prayer, " with the avowed object of putting some limitation upon the amount of ritual." This is the statement of the English Church Union ; but, whether conscience is really making cowards of the members of this body, or whether there is substantial truth in the rumour, we cannot say, The Church Union protests against such a course, because, "to issue a royal commission in matters purely spiritual is contrary to the spirit, if not the letter, of the constitution," and they assert that " such a step would be an unwar rantable interference with the civil and religious liber ties of Churchmen." These "pe pold vords," as Captain Fluellen said, but they are only words ; and, in this case, words neither are things, nor do they represent things. Every change in the constitution of the Church has been at the recommendation of a Royal Commission, 'which, in their schemes, have cut away bishops, diminished rectors, lightened and relaxed oaths and declarations, and dealt generally with the Church as such bodies are accustomed to do with all other departments of the civil government. The Church Union forgets that there is no "spiritual go vernment" in the Church, and that, to adopt the language of Churchmen, the Episcopalian clergy is at the absolute dictation of the "Jews, Dissenters, and infidels," who sit in the Commons House of Parliament.—Liberator. A VOLUNTEER DRUM-HEAD COURT MARTIAL.— A painful incident occurred towards the close of the annual prize shooting of St. Anstell Volunteers on Tues day. One of the members " retired" from shooting for the officers' prizes, and was soon afterwards caught firing ball cartridge at his shako some distance away from the ground in or near the public highway. He was seen to fire two ball cartridges when Lieutenant Hancock raached the spot and brought the offender before the captain commanding, and after a brief inquiry he was then and there formally dismissed from the corps.-IVestern Morning News.

THE GREAT RUSSIAN BANK NOTE FORGERIES-THIS DAY• The Fifty-Rouble Note Forgery. The case against the prisoner Anceney, who was charged with being concerned in the manufacture of an immense quantity of fictitious notes for 50 roubles on the Bank of Russia, was completed this afternoon at the Marlborough street Police-court. The case has been fully reported in The Sun. It will be recollected that the prisoner Anceney had occupied a house at Datchett, and that there Inspector Thomson and Ser geant Mulvany captured a printing press, some rough copies of the forged notes, and a variety of photographic plates, from which the notes had been struck. There was a man named Nicholas, in whose apartments a box con taining some more plates were found, but it was believed that he was not at all concerned in the forgery. Sergeant Mulvany, to-day, said, in addition to his evidence, that he was left in charge of the house at Datchet after the pri soner had been taken into custody, and that ho had found another lithographic stone, upon which was the form of a Russian note for 50 roubles, and also an envelope addressed "M. de Mascaras," and that the press and other articles were all directed Mr. B. Anceney, London, in the same handwriting as the envelope. The magistrate discharged Nicholas, and fully committed Anceney for trial. The Five-Rouble Note Forgery. This afternoon Nathaniel Holchester, commission mer chant, 125, Englefield-road West, Islington ; Jules Bayer, 11, Russell-street, Camberwell, gentleman; Samuel Berens, general dealer, 14, New-street, Houndsditch ; Abraham Davis, general dealer, same address ; Goeschen Silberman, 3, Middle-grove-street, Commercial-road- east ; and Phillip Braun, alias Bloom, 23, Great Portland-street, Marylebone, die-sinker, were again placed before Mr. Elliot, at the Lambeth police-court, charged with having in thoir pos session 500 forged five-rouble notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia. The prisoners were all apprehended in a room in Rus sell-street, Camberwell New-road, and a carpet bag was found there in which were 500 forged notes for five roubles each on the Imperial Bank of Russia. The principal witness examined was Joseph Liban, who had given the informa tion to the Russian authorities of the wholesale forgery. Mr. Sleigh said he appeared that day on the part of the Russian Government to prosecute the prisoners for being engaged in the fabrication of Russian forged notes, which he believed had been carried on to an enormous extent. He should show that the prisoners were acting in connec tion with a number of persons now in custody, both in London and Paris, for the same offence. The principal evidence he should offer was that of the approver, Joseph Liban, a native of Galicia, who had himself purchased a great quantity of the forged notes. Joseph Liban said—l reside at 1, Brunswick-terrace, Camberwell. Two or three years ago I became ac quainted with Bayer. I met him in Paris last year, and had a conversation with him about Russian money. Bayer said he knew the source where the forged Russian paper money was manufactured. This year I saw him again ; it was about the month of May, and after this I came with him to London. He told me that Landinski had brought the plates to Paris, and that Kuzynna and Bayer (the prisoner) were to do tha business together, and that for that purpose Ruzynna had had a large sum of money. He further said they told him that they had nearly been discovered by a priest, and that Landinski had taken the plates in consequence of that to London. Bayer and I then came to London in Juno last, and we stopped at the Terminus Hotel, London Bridge. I first saw Lan dinski the day after my arrival ; after that he brought Berrens to me at the railway station, whom Landinski introduced to me as the maker of the forged paper. I then began to discuss the matter with them, and they asked me to purchase some of the forged paper, and showed me some as samples. They were forged "fivers." I did not purchase any of them. The next one I saw was Braun. Landinski and Berrens brought ,him to me at Spencer's Hotel. Berrens then said, in Braun's presence, that as he had already made forged notes in Russia and in London, and that he was going to make some 25-rouble notes here. I had a great desire at this time to find out the maker of the notes. I afterwards saw Braun at 75, Cam berwell-road, engrave a Russian eagle on an iron plate. The place, I discovered afterwards, was Bayer's lodgings. Landinski and Barrens also came in and saw him at work, At this time I had communicated with Inspector Thompson. I did so ten days after m y arrival in London. From that time I have constantly made munication to the police of the proceedi ng s. I L:erabout qt four weeks after my arrival in first saw e saw Ho •• Silber after that, and Davis about Russell-street the first two Months ago. I first went :2 day the house as taken. I think it Iv.: s the 14th of June. I was present when some of the prisoners haj. a conversa tion about taking the house. It was Bayer, a7rens, Braun, Landinski, and myself, who were then presern, The conversation was to the effect that a house shcaild be taken in a quiet part of the town, in order that the forged notes might be made without interruption. I afterwards saw at different periods the whole of the prisoners visit the house. The general conversation was about making money, that is, forged paper. Several forged rouble notes were fre quently produced. On one occar;ion Holchester broughtc a parcel of 500 forged notes to my plac , 2 at Brunswick -2 i_ terrace, Bayer was there with me. I cannot Pxac"y. say the date. Bayer took 200 of the notes, and t he othe;.i" were left in my place in order, as he said , t o show his - s con fidence in me. Holdchester, three or fou r days beforedtheynotes were taken into custody, showed me 1,000 for n o li t r o a p u e n n g w t e h a e s in but l ho e n shade, butthem he a d s id a n p o a t rc s e e l e in th h em. ispo l ck d e id t. the thinness of the paper showed what they were. Hold chester told me there were 1,000 forged five rouble notes, and he wanted me to give him £lOO for them. I did not, and he took them away. After he had gone I told Barrens, Bayer, gry th wi a . t th H ll o o ld id c o h h e e st s e t r er w he o e t a ll u d se n h o e t yra ,r un b , ey an w d ere trust The day before the prisoners were taken had not done a.. in the house in Russell-street. All into custody I was Holdchester then brought a were there except Brain., gave them to Bayer. I pac ket of 500 forged notes am: Holdchester say that did not see any money pass I heart, _ he (Bayer) had paid him neatly all he hawl had, but there was still a little money d ue t o hi m . Holck..l.ester i to h ld e Bayer that when he got rich he should consider the. owed him £lB. I was at Russell-street just before the pri soners were taken into custody. All the prisoners were there except Braun. 1 snit the 500 forged notes (produced) on the table. There was a conversation going on. Bayer and I were to go away and take the notes with us. Mr. Elliott—What for ? Witness—To put them in circulation. Mr. Sleigh—Was it not proposed to take the notes to Baden Baden ? Witness—l cannot recollect. In answer to 'Mr. Lewis, who appeared for one of the Prisoners, the witness said—l have been arrested in Dres den for passing forged notes. That was the only time I was ever in custody in Germany. I was never in custody in Hamburgh. I was only in custody 10 or 12 days, as there was nothing proved against me. I have been en gaged in discovering the manufacture of these forged notes at the instance of the Russian Embassy at Dresden. It was not that Embassy that prosecuted me ; on the con trary, they caused me to be liberated. I have had no money from Inspector Thomson. I have not had the pro mise of any. Mr. Lewis—What, then, did you do it for ? Witness—l have acted throughout for humanity's sake, as half Europe has been ruined through these forgeries. The Russian Embassy has since June paid me 2,000 francs. 1 have not communicated the fact to the Russian Embassy in London, because I had no directions to do so. I have been in custody in Galicia for a political offence. I ha ve paid my expenses over and above the 2,000 f. out of the 20,000 f. I had of my own. Mr. Lewis wished to know the name of the person who paid him the 2,000 f., but Mr. Sleigh objected to the ques tion. The magistrate said that it might be put, but tho witness declined to answer it. Mr. Sleigh said he was informed officially that upwards of two or three millions of forged money passed through Russia yearly, and the present inquiry was therefore of the highest importance. He had to ask that the prisoners be remanded to the latest day allowed by law, as the task of collecting the evidence was very difficult. The magistrate acquiesced, and the prisoners were ac cordingly remanded. LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening. CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, Aug. 31.
