MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount demand at the Bank and in the open market is very active, and the commercial community are providing for the engagements ac cruing at the end of the quarter. The 4th of the month is also approaching, and there is therefore little doubt but the inquiry will continue brisk till the end of the week. The floating capital of the bankers is not so abundant, and the increased want of money tends to enhance the value of the rates, which are firm at the Bank min►mum. A further influx of gold .amounting to £112,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday after- noon. The directors of the Anglo-Italian Bank have notified that they will pay half yearly interest due Ist October on the Italian State Domain Five per Cent. Loan, 1865, on and after the Ist proximo. The bonds, with coupons attached, must be left three clear days for examination and endorsement. Venezuela Loan 1864.—The General Credit and Finance Company of London have received a remit tance from their agents Messrs. H. L. Boulton and Co., of £1,027 16s. Bd. on account of the above loan, being the proceeds, less charges, of duties collected at Ciudad Bolivia. The interest on the debenture issue of the East India Land Credit Company will be paid at the London and Westminster Bank on and after the 29th instant. The specie movement during the past week has been of a rather extensive character as regards the imports, which have been £868,753, chiefly from the West, and Pacific, and the East Indies. The exports have only amounted to about £200,900, chiefly in silver to the Continent. Two o'CLocK. All the Stock Exchange Markets are dull, owing to the inertness of speculation. There are, more over, no investments of importance to create buoy ancy, but there is nevertheless monsiderable degree of stolidity. Consols,for example, are 89 fl for money, and at 89/ / for the account, being the same as they were yesterday afternoon. Not until thefull holiday season shall have elapsed is there likely to be any revival of enterprise. Dealings have taken place in other securities as follows:—New Threes and Re duced Annuities are 86,1 87 ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 104/ ; and ditto En faced 4 per Cents., 84. Very few alterations of importance have taken place in the prices of Foreign Stocks to-day, but Turkish 5 per- Cents. have' receded /, to 314 ; and Italian /, 56f 1. Mexican are 161 k ; Greek, 15i ; Spanish Passive, 22/ 1 and the Certificates, I4f 1. United States 5-20 Bonds are 711 1; Erie shares, 471 4 ; and Illinois, 77f /. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures are steady at 65} 66f ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 46k 47f. Business in the Railway Share Market has been very dull, and prices have in some instances shown increased depression. South-Western and North British haie each declined £l, Great Western, 155., South-Eastern, 10s., and North-Eastern Berwick ss. ; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 55., Great Eastern 7s. 6d., and Great Northern £1 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain with out change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are very quiet, Alliance being dealt in at 191 20 ; Consolidated, at 5 5i ; Imperial Ottoman, at 91 1 ; and Union of London, at 451 ; Anglo-American Telegraph remain steady at 16i 1; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. paid up at 1021 110 ; Telegraph Construction and Maintenance, at 161- 1 ; and Credit Foncier of Eng land, at 41 I.

Can any of, your readers give me a correct list of these serials, with the dates of their issue, and any particu lars as to the line of religious and political argument which they follow ? I have in my library several such serials, more or less perfect ; but the earliest of them is called "Cati.olicon, or the Christian Philosopher, a Roman Catho lic Magazine, &c.(Keating,Brown, and Keating, 1815)." The first volume, which bears on its title-page the motto, " Si quis Cathedral. Petri jungitur, meus est, S. Hieron," ex tends from July to December, and comprises only 240 pages; and, to judge from the advertisement and preface, t was originally brought out as " The Publicist," but the name of " Catholicon" was adopted at the conclusion of the first volume, as more characteristic of its views and objects. It appears, also, that it was a long time in embryo before the first number appeared; at all events, "The Publicist" was announced among the new books in " The Laity's (R.C.) Directory" for 1810, which, of course, would be published in November, 1809, though the publication of the magazine was delayed till July, 1815. 1 shall be glad if any of your readers will kindly supplement Inim re piaite by any ilartuativu frvui vt4er ovurcvs. ISIONS. 61 50 98 100 Id fp 4 41 if 86 76 80 60 65 100 102 94 ICOi 09 101 20 22 86 88 56 58 48 52 50 55 45 SO 40 t 5 34 3.► 25 27 24 26 104 107 1 I' 14' 1)5 100 91 93 14} 141 5 3 / 4 3 d 91 93 83 65 11 01,1 08 09 69 91 84 86 8' 62 96 OS 94 66 lf 1.1 95 97 Er SEC U ITII4~, 94 NI 93 9: 91 141 75 77 75 79 101- 103 101 105 102 101 100 103 88 RO 100 102 105 1 7 102 104 103 105 101 103 03 105 97 100 90 02 90 92 90 05 86 g 7 92 01 79 81 92 94 91 93 105 107 106 103 LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before 0. Coleman, Esq.) IMrORTANT POINT IN THE LAW OF MASTER AND SERVANT.— LAWS V. SILVERSTONE. This was an action to recover wages actually earned, and defendant pleaded that plaintiff had discharged him self without giving proper notice. It appeared that the plaintiff was a carter in the service of the defendant, and he said that one day he worked seven hours, at the expiration of which time ho met a gentleman who offered him more money than ho was getting from de fendant. In consequence of this offer plaintiff did not go to work any more for defendant, but sent another man to take his place. It was customary in his calling for both masters and men to give up work at a moment's notiz.c. Hie Honour—You surely do not mean to say that in your busiriess you can quit your work without giving any no tice ?i Plaintiff—lndeed I dn. Defendant said that although the men worked seven hours a day they did not work under the hour system like carpenters, being always Feld on the Saturday night as weekly servants. In all his experience ho never knew such a custom as that detailed by the plaintiff. The man sent in by the plaintiff did not suit, and plaintiff by his absence caused defendant considerable inconvenience. His Honour said he could* not believe that the custom sworn to by the plaintiff could exist ; if it did, it would be perfectly monstrous, and it would enable every man who perceived he could get a better place to leave his master and cause great loss in trade. Looking at the facts of the case, the verdict certainly must be for the defendant. Verdict for defendant. - POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. WHOLESALE ROBBERY BY A TOWN TRAVELLER.—John Alison, traveller, in the employ of Mr. Septimus Augustus Whitfield, silk mercer, of Nos. 141 and 142, New Bond street, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing 141 yards of silk, the property of his employer. Mr. Samuel Stalham Hope, Mr. Whitfield's manager, said the prisoner entered Mr. Whitfield's employ, as town traveller, in August last, and the pesoner had the privilege of taking out silks to sell. The prisoner took out several pieces of silk, and they were entered to, the customers' account in the day-book on the prisoner's coming home every evening. - Tho in:sonar had absented himself from business on two occasions, alleging as the reason the deaths of friends. The last time was on Monday last, and as the prisoner did not re turn he sent to inquire if the persons the prisoner spoke of were dead, and found they wore not, and in consequence of this he went to the persons the s'ls wore entered to, and found that they had never received them. Ho then sent one of the young men for the prisoner, and the young loan brought him to the house, but while ho (Mr. Hope) had been sent for the prisoner made off, first having given up four duplicates to the young man, all of which related to silk, and a number of other duplicates were found in the prisoner's desk. The prisoner was last night met with and given into custody. Charles Henry Ewins, clerk in the employ of Mr. Whit field, proved seeing the prisoner in the White Bear Hotel, Piccadilly, last night, and, on telling him the charge against him, he asked wheller he thought ho would get off if his friends compromised the matter with Mr. Whit field. He then took the prisoner back to Bond-street, and gave him into custody. George Herbert, assistant to Mr. Starling, pawnbroker, of Great Portland-street, produced a piece of silk pledged by the prisoner in the name of "Spencer " for £B. Mr. Hope said the piece of silk was exactly like that taken out by the prisoner, and he could swear to the wrap per being the same. Tire invoice of the silk was found on the prisoner. Sergeant Sh'l'ingford, 4 0, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and finding the bottle labelled " Poison" in his possession, and the invoice of the silk. The prisoner asked him if he thought Mr. Whitfield would compromise the matter. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for the attendance of other pawnbrokers. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A WOMAN.—James Downey, a labourer, was charged with a most unmanly assault upon Ellen Gappoty. , The complainant, a slight young woman, with an infant in her arms, exhibited a closed eye and much contused face. She said that she had had the misfortune to become acivainted with the accused, who was the father of the child she held in her arms. Yesterday mottling she was sitting with a friend on the step of the door of her house in Ball's-head-court, Westminster, when defendant came to the other side of the way and called her. He imme diately approached her, and assaulted her in the way sho now appeared. Mr. Selfe —What did ho st• Ike you with—his fist? Complainant—No; he took his boot oft and struck me with it. Mr. Selfc —Had you the child in your arms ? Complainant—l had. I don't wish to hii . rt hm; he has a hold over me, by being the father of my child. Mr..Selfo—lt is not what you-persouCy wish,,it is what is beneficial to others. . Defendaut—l was rather the worse for liquor. Mr. Selfe —That is no excuse. You drink ; and tho na tural brutality of your e'sposition comes . out. Defendant—l am very sorry. Mr. Selfe—And so you ought to be. This is not one of the cues where the brutality is committed upon the in stant. You deliberate:y take off your boot and beat this poor woman about the head with it like a b:ute. lam de termined not t) lot the intercession of women interfere to prevent proper punishment of such offences, which aro a great deal too common. Defendant—l hope you WI be lenient. Mr. Selfe—l wi'l not. You aro committed for two months to hard labour, and to enter into recognisances for six months more. MARKETS.--This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

REPRESENTATION OF BRECKNOCK BOROUGHS.- At last the writ has been received • for the election of a member for these boroughs, in the room of Lord Brecknock, recently raised to the House of Peers through the death of the Marquis Camden. Mr. Prothero, the mayor of Brock nock, has proclaimed the writ, and fixed the nomination for Monday next and the polling for Tuesday. The two candidates, Lord Alfred Churchill on the Liberal side, and Mr. Howe! Gwyn on the Conservative, declare their deter mination to go to the poll, and the contest promises to be a severe one. The constituency is very limited. Both the candidates were present at an agricultural dinner at Brecon last week, but by mutual consent refrained from political talk. - THE STRIKE IN THE IRON TRADE.- —There are hopes of a settlement of the ironworkers' strike at Consett, in the county of Durham, one of the largo districts which are now out. A number of puddlers went down to the office of the works on Thursday, and gave in their names as wil ling to commence work at once at the reduction ; and down to Thursday night 100 names had been entered. That night the managers of the works sent round the bellman with a notice that all puddlers, furnacemen, and others desirous of going to work were to be at the furnaces yesterday (Friday) morning to light up, so that it is likely that the mills at Consett would VOttu4o work yesterday. Election of Lord Mayor—This Day. The annual assembling of tke livery, for the pur pose of electing a citizen to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, took place to-day in the Guildhall. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs having attended Divine Service, at St. Michael's, Bassisbaw, proceeded in procession to the Guildhall. After the usual proclamation had been made, The . Common Sergeant, in the absence of the Recorder, come forward and told the liverymen they were assembled that day, according to ancient usage, to elect a fit and proper person to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and, iu order that the choice of the livery might be made impartial; the Lord Mayor and Aldermen would retire while the election took place. - A LIVERYMAN said, before th 6 aldermen retired, he should like to ask Alderman Gabriel, in the event of his being elected, whether he would support the charter and uphold all the rights and privileges of the livery ? lie thought that was a question that ought to be answered by every alderman before they were elected to fill the important office of Lord Mayor for the City of London. Mr. Alderman GABRIEL said he had no hesitation in answering the question. No person venerated more highly than he . did, or could do more than he would to uphold all those charters which conferred liberty and privileges on the livery of London. (Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff WATERLow called upon the Common Crier to read the rest of the names of those alder men who had not yet passed the chair, and a show of hands was taken as each name was announced. For Alderman Gabriel nearly every person present held up his hand, and for the others but one or two hands were displayed. The Sheriff then announced that the election had fallen upon Alderman Gabriel and Alderman'Allen, and the names of these two gentle men were then forwarded to the Court of Aldermen. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour, the Lord, Mayor and: alderrnen returned to the Guildhall, and announced that - the election "had fallen on Alderman Gabriel. The Lord Mayor elect then returned, thanks, and said he should do all in his power to uphold the dig nity and hospitality of the office. Mr. C. REED moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, after which the proceedings terminated. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (Front the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Right Hon.

If Ireland is behind us in some branches of industry, in one at least she is before us, viz., in the cultivation of her salmon fisheries. No people have fought so hard or so successfully to rescue their salmon fisheries from the de struction that threatened them from the employment of impassable weirs and nets, which, by obstructing the pas sage of the salmon to their spawning beds, would soonhave made their rivers barren altogether. That the more en lightened part of the Irish community, backed in their efforts by the poor fishermen themselves, have succeeded in removing.these fatal obstructions - to a large extent is solely due to a strict unity and a sturdy perseverance ; and if all Irish difficulties were dealt with as this has boon, there would soon be little talk of injustice to Ireland. But the Irish have gone far beyond this, and by the ingenuity perseverance, and judicious speculation of various owners of fisheries, they have carried out some of the most striking works for the enouragement of salmon breeding to be seen, not only in the kingdom, but in the world. When M. Crume§ made his tour of inspection of our salmon fisheries on behalf of the French Government some years since, the work which he thought most worthy of notice was the formation of the salmon ladders on the Callooney River near Sligo. Here there are throe falls, one of which is about 30ft. fn depth, and over these no salmon could possibly pass, the consequence being that two fine rivers and a chain of large and impoitant lakes remained entirely unproductive. The later Mr. Cooper, of Markree Castle, Sligo, however, conceived a plan for making these fine waters a noble salmon fishery ; and, having obtained an act of Parliament to insure the possession of that which might result from his skill and labour, he set to work to render the falls passable to the salmon. Two simple lad ders wore applied to the smaller falls without difficulty— the highest, hOwever, required much care and labour; and after many failures he contrived, by means of a double ladder or a flight of stairs with a resting pond in the middle, to render the fall practicable to salmon ; then by stocking the river above with breeding fish he in a very few years became the owner of a fine salmon fishery worth many thousands of pounds a year. Some time afterwards, Mr. Boswell came into possession of a group of stnall lakes near the sea coast in Connemara, not far from Clifden. At a place called Doohullah, a small obstructed passage permitted the overflow of these lakes to find its way to the sea. Mr. Boswell, by advice of Mr. Ffennell (the present inspector of salmon fisheries for England, who at that time was inspector for Ireland), cleared out this passage and made it a practicable stream to tho.sea. He next connected several of the lakes by cut ting channels botwoore thorn so as to combine them together into ono fishory. He then stocked the head waters with the ova of the salmon.trout, a fish in value only second to the salmon ; and in duo time had the satisfaction of finding himself the proprietor of an astonishingly prolific salmon trout fishery, in which it had been no uncommon thing for one boat to take 1 cwt. of fish to a couple of rods in the day. The.fishery then passed into the hands of the present pro prietors, who conceived the desire to convert it into a' salmon fishery, and, under the care.of Mr. Remsbottom, of Clitheroe, whose son is so successfully conducting thogreat experiments in Australia, they contrived to stock the head waters with a large quantity of salmon ova. It was thought for some time that the experiment had failed, but at length the happy day arrived when a fine shoal of grilse ran into the lakes and took up their abode there, and since that time the fishery has flourished and increased in value. Many important and perplexing points in the history of tho sai mon were solved in the course of this experiment. • About the same time Messrs. Ashworth bought the far famed Galway fishery. Its fortunes were at a very low ebb when they bought it, but by opening the weir to the passage of salmon and by judicious preservation of the tri butary breeding streams, Messrs. Ashworth increased the production of the river to an anormous extent. It is now one of tho most valuable in Ireland ; and perhaps 'no more striking sight can be seen in its way than to stand on the bridge at Galway and net the salmon lying in shoals below. The-water is extremely clear, the channel rocky, and the salmon within a space of 100 yards or so may be seen of all sizes, from 61b. weight up to 101 b. or 201 b., in shoals to the number of from 300 to 500; a most astonishing sight, and worth a journey thither to behold. The upper water of the Galway fishery consists of a larga lake, Lough Corrib, but there aro few breeding streams running into it, 'and there fore the produce of the fishery is to some extent limited. Situate at the head of Lough Corrib is another largo lake, Lough Mark, which sends its water into Lough Corrib by a semi-underground passage, impracticable to fish. Many fine breeding streams fall into Lough Mark and other small lakes connected with it. It was there fore an object of great importance to the fishery to render the passage between the lakes practicable. During the famine an attempt was made to run a canal be tween them, but it failed, and by using this partially Messrs. Ashworth attempted to construct a pass for the salmon. But though this answered in the winter, when the water was high, the pass was all but dry in the summer, and some other means had tb be attempted. At length, by great labour and perseverance, and by cutting through much of the rock, Messrs. Ashworth have contrived, after an expenditure of between £2,004 and £3,000 to make a new pass.some 50 yards in length into that part of the canal which can be made serviceable, and thus the diffi culty has at length been overcome. This great 'under taki►ng will have the effect of throwing open to the salmon apAstrict of between 30 and 40 miles square; which abounds in Sue breeding streams never yet tenanted by salmon ; and the result in a few years will probably be to make Messrs. Ashworth's fishery the most prolific in the world. And well do they de:sot:ye such a reward. It is by steady penieverance in works like this that Ireland may hope to raise herself from poverty and discontent ; and it is to be hoped that these brilliant examples of what can be done in salmon breeding will not be lost upon ourselves.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.—On the 9th of\ September a married woman, a German, residing in New York, poisoned herself, led to do so by continued depression of spirits, superinduced by bad health. Before committing suicide she made up a sot of mourning dresses for her mother and children, put crape round her husband's hat, and prepared aua kud out law burial *Ulm! Extraordinary Charge of Robbery against a Bank Clerk. At the Mansion-house, yesterday, James Wm. Woods, a tall, gentlemanly-looking man, who was stated to be only 22 years old, was brought before Alderman Lusk, M.P., who presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor, in custody of Michael Haydon, the detective officer, charged with stealing a £lOO Bank of England note, the property of Messrs. Barnett, bare, and Co., the . bankers, of Lombard street. Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the Bankers' Asso ciation, attended on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Weatherhead, from the office of Mr. T. Beard, ap peared for the prisoner. The case appeared to create a good deal of interest from the circumstances connected with it, and also from the fact that the prisoner, who had been for some time in the service of the bank, is most respect ably connected, and his father, who is an extensive itrincr in lint, has b.3e,n for many years a tenant of Mr. Hoare, one of the partners in the firm. It appeared that on the 14th of September a sum of. £lB5 103. 61. was paid into the bank of Messrs. Barnett and Co., by a firm who kept an account with them, Messrs. Fauntleroy and Co., ivory and hardwood merchants in Southwark, which amount was composed of a Bank of England note for £lOO and cheques, and in due course this note should have been placed to the credit of Messrs. Fauntleroy and Co., in their banking account. At the close of the day the balance was found . to be £lOO short, and after an investigation had taken place into the accounts, it was ascertained that the defi ciency amounted in the loss - of the £lOO note that had been paid in by the Messrs. Fauntleroy, and further inquiry led to the discovery that on the same day the note had been changed for gold at the Bank of England, and that it then bore the endorsement George Robson, Kind's Head, Borough. The matter was then further investigated by Mr. Mullens, who placed the inquiry in the hands of Ilaydon, a most experienced detective officer, and in the result the prisoner was taken into custody, and the evidence ; that was obtained to support:the achorgp .of' having stolen the note in questiou , w943 of lather an extra-„ ordinary character. - Mr. Gray, one of the principal cashiers in the bank of Barnett, Hoare, and Co., spoke to the ordinary course of duty being, when notes were paid in, that they were marked with the name of the customer ' and placed in a box, and were afterwards placed in a ledger, but this particular £lOO note never seemed to have been so entered. He said that in the beginning of the month of September the prisoner asked to be permitted to have £lO as a loan for a few days, and he produced a letter purporting to be signed by a Mr. Farman, residing at Paddington, and which represented that he had sold a horse for the prisoner for £14105., and that he should have the money in a few days. He allowed the prisoner to have the money, believ that he would be in a position to repay it when he received the money for his horse, and at the time he did not pay particular attention to the handwriting of the letter, but having since examined it more carefully, he was of opinion that it was written by the prisoner. Some further evidence was then adduced, the effect of which was to show that the prisoner received the £lO and that he did not repay it at the time he had promised, and he was reminded of this fact, and he stated that he had sold a horse and would pay the money he had borrowed when he was paid for it. On Sept. 14, the day the note was stolen, the pri soner asked for leave of. absence for two or three hours, saying that he was going up to the west end of the town to receive the money for his horse, and he left the bank, and it appeared that very shortly afterwards the note was changed for gold at the Bank of England. When the prisoner returned to the bank he appeared to have handed the cashier who had advanced him the £lO a post-office order for that amount, and at the same time asked him to change another for £4 103., representing that he had received the two money orders as the price of his horse. It turned out that on the day the note was changed at the Bank of England some person had obtained the' wo money orders in question at a post office in the neighbourhood of Oxford-street, in the name of Farman, and the usual post-office form for these money orders was filled up,in „the handwriting of the prisoner.• It was -also proved -that_ tho Mr. Farman referred to by him knew nothing of the pri soner, and there was no truth in his statement that he had been engaged in selling a horse for . him. Michael Haydon was then examined—He said that in consequence of a communication he received he went on Sept. 20 to the bank of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., and found the prisoner in a private room with Mr. Mullens, the solicitor, and Mr. Bar nett, one of the partners. Mr. Barnett, when wit ness went in, addressed the prisoner, and said he was sorry to tell himthat he was suspected of having stolen a' £lOO note, and he added that the circum stances were so suspicious that the matter had been placed in the hands of Mr. Mullens, the solicitor, in order that he might investigate them, but no one would feel more pleasure than he should if the pri soner could clear himself. Mr. Mullens then ad dressed the prisoner, and said the matter had been placed in his hands, and that it was necessary he should at once tell him that he had been assured that he had stated that he had gone to Oxford street to receive the money for a horse he had sold for £l4 10s., and that he was paid in two money orders, one for £lO and the other for £4 10s. The prisoner bowed, and said "That is so." Mr. Mullens then proceeded to state to the prisoner that he had , procured the forms when the money-orders were applied for, and produced them, and said it was his duty to tell him that the filling up of those forms, and the endorsement on the back of the £lOO note, when it was cashed at the Bank of England, ap peared to be in his handwriting. The documents re ferred to were then shown to the prisoner, and after looking at them he said, " If any one has be'en copy ing my handwriting I cannot help it. I never had the money, and know nothing about it." Mr. Mul lens then said that it would be his duty to charge him with stealing the- £lOO, and witne took him to Bow-lane station, where the charge was read over ss to him, and he made no reply. The prisoner, at his request, wrote the address of Mr. Farman in his pocket-book, and he produced it. The entry referred to was shown to the bench, and the writing appeared to entirely correspond with that relating to the alleged sale of the horse. There was also this remarkable coinciat.nce that the word Paddington terminated in both documents with " don" instead of " ton."' - 't Mr. Mullein said this was all the evidence he was in acondition to produce •on the present occasio n, L s the witness from the mone y order office could not attend on account of illness. lie asked that the prisoner might be remanded in order that he might be enabled to bring forward additional testimony. Mr. Weatherhead asked that the prisoner might be admitted to bail , ur ging that he was most respect and that securities to any .amount ably conn ected, could ho obtained. Alderman Lusk remanded the prisoner for a week an d refused to accept bail.
