MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is little business in progress in the discount market, as usual on Saturday, and, as money is plentiful, the brokers evince a desire to negotiate first-class securities at 41 per cent., and in excep tional instances at 4 1 1 percent. There appears every probability that easier rates will prevail in the open Money Market, but the alterations shown in the Bank return do not lead to the expectation of any immediate alteration in the official minimum. On the Stock Exchange money is plentiful, and loans from day to day on Government securities can be obtained as low as 3 per cent. It is understood that the Anglo-Italian Bank will waive the necessity for the bonds as well as the Coupons of the Italian State Domain Loan, to be left at their office three days prior to the payment of the dividend, so far as stock exchange brokers are concerned. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock and Share Markets continue to exhibit great dulness. There is no life or ani mation, and prices of securities show little change arising from the paucity of business. The Funds remain unchanged, and Consols are the same as at the close of business yesterday afternoon, viz., 89* 1 for money and the account, and 891 I for November. The New Threes and Reduced Annui ties are 861 87* ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. to 3s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041. The only alteration of importance that has taken place in the prices of Foreign Stocks is a decline of percent. in Turkish 5 per Cents., to 301 f; Italian have also receded 1, to 55k ; Mexican are 1n 16* ; Greek, 141 1 ; Spanish Passive, 211 a ; and the Certificates, 14* 1. American Securities are steady. LilierStates 5-20 Bonds are 701 ; Erie shares, 511 ; and Illinois, 78f 79. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been more animated, and a recovery from the late deprasion has taken place. Great Western have improved.", Great Eastern f , and Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, Metropolitan, Midland, and South Eastern, each 1. Great Northern, how ever, have declined 11. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been little change of :importance. Great Luxembourg remain steady, at 121 ; Ottoman, at 5} ; and Dutch Rhenish, at 3 prem. ; Madras 5 per Cents. have improved tol9 ; and Bombay and Baroda re main steady at 100. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in moderate demand, and generally sustain previous values. Alliance are dealt in at 19 191 ; London and County at 63. Imperial Bank Corporation are at 461 47, Union of London at 451, while Atlantic Telegraph per Cents., fully paid up, have declined to 1071 ; Credit Foncier of England are marked 31 1; General Credit, 31 1 ; I mper i a l L an d C ompany of i l arseilles, 2} ; and National Disc oun t C om p an y 4. Colonial Government Securities are in moderate favour. Canada 6 per Cents. remain firm at 92:1 ; New Zealand 5 per Cents. have improved to 80 ; .Q u eensland 6 per C en t s . are d ea l t i n at 90i 4 3 .; and Victoria 6 per Cents. at 102 k 103 k.

Henry de Bathe in the chair. The hon. secretary read the following letter from Sir R. Murchison, Bart. : " Erl Wood, Bagshot, Oct. 2, 1866. " Sir, —ln apologising for not being able to attend the committee of the Eyre Fund to-morrow, I inclose a cheque fur my subscription. I rejoice to find that we are going on so well, and I trust that the fund will be so increased that we may be able to hand over to my distinguished friend, the ex-Governor, a testimonial worthy of the man who saved a great British colony.—Your obedient servant, " RODERICK MURCHISON." " Resolved that the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot be requested to accept the position of President and that Sir Roderick Murchison, Bart., and Thomas Car lyle, Esq., be asked to act as vice-presidents." Mr. CARLYLE said it would afford him very great pleasure to comply with the request of the commit tee. Mr. 11. llrneE (the hon. secretary) then proceeded to explain the steps that had been taken to promote the objects of the fund since last meeting. He said' that he in the first instance addressedaletter to most of the provincial papers in the threekingdoms, asking for their support in the formation of sub-committees; that this appeal had had considerable effect, sub committees were either formed or about to be orga nised, at the following places :—Liverpool, Edin burgh, Glasgow, Cheltenham, Southampton, Aber deen, Bath, Hastings, Leeds, Bradford, Dublin, Isle of Wight, Chichester, Plythouth, and Cambridge, and that in the course of the next month he hoped to be able to name fifty other towns. Ile had also written to the commanding officer of every regi ment and depot battalion in the service, and to the captains of every one of her Majesty's ships in commission. Ho proposed, if the com mittee saw no objection, to appeal to every indivi dual member of the Civil Service in India, and to for ward a pamphlet to them. The Working Men's Conservative Association at Bradford had forwarded to him (Mr. Hume) an address to be presented to Mr. Eyre at the proper time, and the Working Men's Conservative Association at Leeds proposed follow ing their example. Other working men's associa tions were being appealed to, so that the feeling of the public at large might be arrived at. With re ference to an application to the Bishop of Jamaica to join the committee, made since the last meeting, a reply had been received, from which the following was an extract : " Personally I have an earnest sympathy with Mr. Ey re I warmly admire his character and history, as far as they are known to me ; and I firmly believe that the speedy sup pression of the murderous insurrections in Jamaica is at tributable, under God's providence, to the promptitude, courage, and judgment with which he acted under circum stances of peculiar difficulty and danger. From all that I have heard of Mr. Eyro's career, I believe that his humanity and kindness of heart, his love of justice and mercy, and his eminently Christian principles, qualified him in a very high degree for the discharge of his arduous and painful duties at a most critical period of the history of the colony whose government he had to administer. " I am fully sensible of the honour conferred on me by your request, and while I trust that no exigence for the further defence of Mr. Eyre's conduct will arise to render any application of the fund raised by the committee neces sary to that particular purpose, I shall rejoice to find that some compensation shall have boon provided by the suc cessful exertions of the committee for the loss unhappily entailed on Mr. Eyre by his disconnexion from the public service, in which he had been so long and so honourably employed." Lord Allan Churchill, Dr. Grey (of the British ➢luseum), Professor Tyndall, and the Hon. Francis Lawley added their names to the committee. Mr. RUSKIN proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. Colonel BROWNLOW KNox, M.P., seconded the proposition. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.)

UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—John Pelly was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with uttering a forged order with a view to defraud Messrs. Bamford and Co., the extensive wholesale silk and woollen dealers in the City. It appeared that on the 21st of last mouth a man named Brown wont to the premises of Messrs. Bamford and Co., and presented an order purporting to be sent from Messrs. Dibben and Co., 91 and 92, Cheapside. The foreman observed that it was not signed, and said he would send a porter with it to Messrs. Dibben and Co.'s, but Brown said that was unnecessary, as the party who gave him the order was waiting at the post-office. A porter was accordingly sent with him, but no such person as ho described having made his appearance, Brown was given into custody, and was remanded till Monday next. Police-constable 640 said that from information he re ceived last night he to )1c the prisoner into custody outside the offices 14, George-street, Mansion-house, solicitors and printers, where the prisoner was employed as housekeeper• He told him the charge, and Brown, who was with wit ness, said to the prisoner, "Yon owe me 3s. 6d.," to which he r, plied, "If I do I will pay you." He afterwards denied that ho had over seen Brown before. On being taken to the station he was placed with three or four other men, and a waiter at the 'Talbot, Gray's-inn-lane, was sent for, who im mediately identified him from the other men as being the party who employed him on the 21st of last month to pro cure a messenger. William Wedgwood, the waiter in question, proved that the prisoner had been at the Talbot three times on the day in question, and to his (witness) having called Brown, who was a porter well known in the neighbourhood, and prisoner being in conversation afterwards. Prisoner denied that he had admitted to the constable any previous acquaintance with Brown, whom he said ho had•never seen before yesterday. The prisoner was remanded for a week. BOW-STREET. George Smith and George Cook were placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of brass work, the pro perty of Mr. Mancur. Police-constable 519 I, said on the morning of the of September ho was on duty, in Whitehall, when he met the two prisoners carrying a basket, which appeared very heavy. He asked them what it contained, when Smith said brass fittings, which be was carrying from Walworth road to Hampstead-road. lie took the cover off the baskk and found three bydopults, which had been partly de stroyed, two steam indicators, and various other articles of such a nature that led to believe that a robbery had been committed. He took the two prisoners into custody, and since that time it had been discovered that the property was the result of a robbery: Mr. Edward Mancur said the prisoner Smith was a man he had taken in out of the streets, to do odd jobs in his workshop at Brunswick -place, Walwortb. The first inti mation he had of the prisoner's dishonesty was that on one occasion he was directed to take noire clothes' wringers to the Agricultural-hall, for the Industrial Exhibition, and which articles ho found were never delivered. He gave information to the poli , :o of the robbery, and shortly after wards his workshop was broken open, and the property produced by the constable, which he valued at £2O, was stolen. It had been rendered almost valueless by being broke up. The indicators, in their complete state, were alone worth between £3 and £4, but in the condition they were now they would only be valuable as old metal. Smith said it was not true that the witness had fed and clothed him as he had stated. Ho was quite innocent of stealing either the wringers or the brass fittings. The Magistrate reminded the prisoner Smith that the latter articles, which had been stolen from the prosecutor's workshop, had been found in his possession, and if, as he said, ho was innocent of the robbery, he had better tell the jury so at his trial. If they thought he had not stolen the property they would, of course, acquit him. Cook said he was only engaged by the other person to help him to carry the basket, for which he was to have a shilling. The police-constable said both prisoners refused to give their address. The magistrate committed both prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SFURIOITS BUSMAN COlN B .—George Robson, of No. 8, Princes-row, Bedford-row, was charged before Mr. Knox with uttering a counterfeit Russian three rouble piece, with intont to defraud Mr. Henry Greaves, jeweller, of No. 50, Great Portland-street. Mr. Greaves said—About half-past 6 yesterday evening the prisoner came in and threw the coin produced on the counter, and asked what it was worth. I directly picked it up, and as soon as I bad done so, a friend of the prisoner's stepped in and said "Oh, it's gold. I should have a ring made of it, if I were you, and attach it to my chain." I retained the coin, having previously had a communication from the police respecting frauds with similar coins, and detained the prisoner while I sent for a constable, and on one coming gave the prisoner into custody. I believe there have been a number of similar coins passed at jewel lers. Inspector Garforth, E division—l was at the station when the prisoner was brought in by police-constable 35 E, and he said he bought the coin in Hatton-garden, at a refiners, far Bs. 6d., but . that he did not know the name of the re finer. Information has been given by the police to jewel lers, cautioning them against purchasing the coins. Mr. Knox—There is some difficulty in the case. In the first place, the prisoner did not tender the coin for the purpose of changing it—he merely asked its value ; and, in the second place, there is no proof that it is a counterfeit of a Russian coin. Inspector Garforth—l have a person here who purchased one of the coins, and if the prisoner is remanded I can pro duce 20 others. Henry Ashman, assistant to Mr. George Pickett, jeweller, 265, Oxford-street, said—On Tuesday last the prisoner offered me one of the coins for sale. I asked what it was, and believe the prisoner said it was gold. He said ho had had it by him for some time, and ho wished to get rid of it, as it was of no use to him. I judged from its weight that it was genuine, and took it up to Mr. Rickett, who, believing it to be genuine, said I might give 235. for it. I did so, and the prisoner left. I identified the prisoner last night at the station as the person I purchased the coin of. I have had the coin tested, and it is platina. I have com pared it with a Russian coin at a money-changers, and it is similar. Mr. Knox—l should liko to see a genuine Russian coin, if ono can be procured. Mr. Garforth left for the purpose, and returned and said —I have been to a money changers, and they state that the coin is a genuine coin, made of platina, but gilt over. Its original value is about 9s. 6d. Mr. Knox—The prisoner will be remanded, and the Rus. sian Consul can be communicated with. MARKETS. —This Day.

A meeting of the board was was held yesterday, at noon, at Spring-gardens, for the purpose of opening tenders by parties who should be willing to contract for the construction of an arched viaduct, with paved roadway thereon, 885 k feet in length, or thereabout, with other works in connectioL' there with, comprising a similar length of subway, „partly of iron and partly of masonry and brickwork, sLtuate upon the foreshore of the River Thames, betwe en the eastern end of the Inner Temple and Blackfriars bridge. Sir John Thwaites presided. The board being assembled, the CHAIRMAN an nounced that he had received seven tenders, which he proceeded to read as follows :—Messrs. Hill and Kiddie, £302,000 ; Mr. Thos. Pearson, £265,000 ; Messrs. Hitchcock and Williams, £344,700; Messrs. Brassey and Co., £305,000 ; Mr. A. W. Ritson, £239,000 ; Mr. J. Thakeray, £320,000 ; and Mr. W. Webster, £268,000. The board then deliberated in private . over the re spective tenders. • On the readmission of the public it was intimated that the whole of the tenders had been referred to the Works and Improvement Committee to investi gate and report. The Clerk read the report of the Finance Com mittee, which was agreed to. It stated that they had again endeavoured to obtain the amounts of the rateable annual value of the property in the city of London, but that the guardians of the City of Lon don Union and the West London Union had refused to supply the necessary information. They, there fore, being of opinion that the rentals should be offi cially obtained, had instructed the solicitor to pre pare the necessary forms, to be sealed by the board, for demanding copies of the rentals within seven days, agreeably to the provisions of the Main Drain age Act. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT (CONTRACT I.). A report was brought up by Mr. Freeman from the Works and General Purposes Committee, as follows - .E--- . " Your honourable board, having oa Fri-, day lasfreferred to your committee for consideration and repo' t the copy of the deed of arrangement entered - into between Mr. Furness, under the autho rity of his inspector appointed on behalf of his estate, and Mr. Thos. Brassey and other parties, for facilitating the completion of his contract, your committee accordingly proceeded on the reference, and have also considered the letter from Mr. Fur ness, referred to them on the same day, requesting that in future all sums of money to be paid to him by your honourable board on account of bis contract for the Thames embankment works might, in pursuance of his arrangement with Mr. Brassey, be paid to an account opened at the Union Bank of London, in the names of Messrs. Brassey, Ogilvie, and Harrison. The deed referred to makes over the contract to Messrs. Brassey, but to be continued in Mr. Furness's name. The committee have given the subject careful consideration, and had consulted their solicitor (Mr. Smith), and have learned that the arrangement entered into by Mr. Furness, so far as the progress of the works are concerned, will not unfavourably affect the present position of the board. Your committee could not refrain from reverting to delay in the progress of the works, notwithstanding the endeavours they have made to accelerate it. The committee saw no objection to the application of Mr. Furness that cheques should be crossed Messrs. Brassey and Co. ; indeed such a proposi tion is only fair to Mr. Brassey. Your committee therefore recommend that all sums of money should be so crossed." • Mr. FREEMAN, in moving that the report be ap proved of, said the Thames embankment works, un der contract No. 1, were getting on, he might say vigorously. There was a large quantity of material on the ground, and since last week the number of men engagedhad been increased to 600. He thought it would be advisable, and tend to increase the pro gress of the works of the board, should they accede to the request of Mr. Furness that the cheques be crossed " Brassey and Co." Mr. EVANS seconded the motion. Mr. ROCHE moved an amendment, that the mat ter be referred back to the committee. Major LYON, in a long address; contended that the works ought to be pushed on with energy and despatch. He should certainly vote for the original motion. - After a few words from Mr. LEGG, The motion was put and the recommendation of the committee agreed to. After some routine business had been disposed 01 the board adjourned at a late hour. A New Gunpowder. Every day some new discovery is being made in the instruments and appliances of war, and the last invention promises certainly not to be one of the least important. A Swiss inventor has discovered an explosive compound which we believe has been offered for experiment to our War-office authorities. It consists of a powder the ingredients of which are as yet unknown, as they are the secret of the inven tor. This powder is intended to be used only as a bursting charge for shells or for explosive rifle bullets ; in fact, it can be used as a charge for every species of projectile, and its force is so great that a bullet charged with it and fired from the ordinary Enfield rifle suffices to blow up the caisson of an artillery waggon. What its effect would be when forming the charge of the hollow projectiles of the heavier species of ordnance is as yet unknown, as it has not hitherto been experimented upon on a large scale, but judg ing from that produced by the very small quantity of the powder contained in a hollow missile fired from the ordinary rifle it must prove a terrible en gine of destruction. Although possessing such for midable explosive qualities, this composition is, in its ordinary condition, one of the safest known, as it only explodes when the hollow projectile charged with it strikes some object when fired from a rifle or piece of ordnance ; even then the shell does not burst till it has penetrated the substance against which it strikes. A . bullet charged with this sub stance can be flung about and struck without any explosion resulting from the roughest treatment ; upon being thrown into a fire the bullet will be fused, and no explosion ensues. Upon the powder being placed upon a sheet of paper and a light being applied to it, it burns slowly and without noise, nearly in the same manner as would a similar quan tity of common sulphur. The mode of using it is extremely simple, as it is simply poured into the shell till it is well filled with it, and the orifice through which was introduced is then stopped up in the manner that seems most convenient—in the case of a rifle bullet, for instance, with a piece of wax. No fuse is required to determine the ignition, of the. shell. One of its most important qualities, however, is, that by adding to, or diminishing one of the ingre dients, the explosion of the shell, after striking, may be retarded or accelerated, so that in firing, we shall say at an iron-plated ship of war, it may be so arranged as to explode either between decks after having penetrated the side, or in the side of the ves sel itself, and the breach made by such a formidable mine would, most probably, utterly destroy or sink the vessel. It is to be hoped that such an extraordinary dis covery will be duly inquired into, and there is little doubtthatif it is, front experiments that have already taken place abroad, this new power of destruction will be an important addition to our land, and, above all, to our marine artillery. THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—There is a great improvement in the weather. Little rain has fallen during the last 10 days, and the ground is becoming firm. But the weather is not very favourable for harvest work, as the atmosphere is generally dull, and there is a want of drying winds. Slow progress is therefore ma de in carrying the cut crops, but great quantities have been rendered compa ratively secure by rickling. It is bettor to rickle and wait with patience than to run any risk in such close weather by stacking grain in rather soft condition. In the lower districts farmers are beginning to take up the remainder of their potatoes. The appearanc3 of the crop when raised is no worse than might have been anticipated from about the diseased state of the sha ws. On light land we see one-fourth put in the diseased heaps, and we hear of in stances in which the loss exceeds one-half on strong land. From the heavier rainfall, the loss is pretty sure to be greater in the uplands than it is in the neighbourhood of Ayr, but the exte nt of the damage will not be known for another week or two, as the disease has not run its cours e in the case el the late crops—Ayr Advertioer.

(THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Several " strangers" have already arrived for the second October trysting, and others are expected by special trains during this afternoon and evening. The heath was all alive this morning, a large number of horses galloping. Amongst the now comers that were at exercise was Lec turer, who followed Ackworth a couple of miles clipping, but he is a small horse, and the generality of the trainers hero say he is made more for speed than endurance, and declare that he has no chance with the long-striding, powerful Lothario, who really goes splendidly. Breeze and he had a two mile gallop, but the mare goes rather short just now. Ostreger led A etece a mile and three quarters; and Plutus took Sultan a mile and a quarter. La Favorite has returned and had a mile and a half spin this morning going brilliantly. The Squire galloped a couple of miles. Master Richard led Vauban, Lady Hester, Glendale, and the Captain some nice work ; and Gomera pioneered Ischia, Ives, the Duchess, and Whirligig. Pantaloon and Kangaroo galloped with che rest of John Days. Fitzroy went brilliantly, and Brother to Ascham was going freely. Haidee and Pirate Chief were , in mile work, Drewett being in attendance upon them. Podargus was amongst Mr. Sutton's lot, and Split the Difference led Lord Lyon a mile and three-quarters, Achievement galloping three-quarters of a mile fast. The latter seems to improve daily. Emigrant again showed with the rest of Arnull's, but did very little. The Earl of Derby went a nice steady gallop; and Mat Dawson was working Bornbastes, Julius, and Pericles. The Rake and F rip po u nie r had a beautiful pipe-opener of about a mile, and Janitor took Jasper and Falkenstein a sireilar distance. Bread albane galloped Knight of the Garter, Satyr, and Plunder; but Broomielaw merely trotted. Lytham, Friday, and Chapel Royal were at smart exercise. Vulture led Jollity two miles and a half, and the latter moved beautifully. Python and Ben Nevis did a mile. Paris and Peon gal loped a mile and a half. Il Re Galantuomo and King Charming did a mile and three-quarters each. Lochaber, Star of India, Nutbourne Lad, and the Amanda Colt, were in mile work. Ambition galloped a mile and a half.

Mr. Gruneisen has left town for the Basque Pro vinces, with a view to the completion of a work on the war of succession in Spain in 1837-38, having accompanied the Carlist expedition up to the walls of Madrid, and the retreat therefrom to the Ebro. Mr. Gruneisen was corre spondent of the Morning Post during that remarkable cam paign, and having fallen into the hands of the Corpos Frances, then infesting the Pinares of Soria, had some ex traordinary escapes from being shot. Owing to the active intervention of the late Lord Palmerston, backed by the urgent representations of Lord Clarendon, then Minister in Madrid, Mr. Gruneisen was released after an imprison ment of two months at Logrono. 28 I 1114 11 125 G 2, i 16 1231 I 82 2 171 17 1 1171 i t 82 126 5) 121 201 11 1 C s i i 5 i 9) 8 1 9 MALTON. We expect to have Brown Bread, Domestic Bliss, Mockery, My Love, the Oppressor, Queen of Nuts, Sycee, War, and Westwick at Newmarket next week ; and they will leave to-day, hence their work this morning was nothing to speak of. Brown Bread had not done enough to gave him's. chance for the Cesarewitch ; but War l• as, and the latter, though slow, is a game, enduring horAe, and may be troublesome to the winner, whatever it may turn up to be. Southruinster has schooled Queen of Nuts well. Knight of the Crescent has been eased : but Klarinska is still doing two mile gallops. [As most of the Cesarowitch horses at Lambourne, Marlborough, Richmond, and Findon were to start for Newmarket this day, their work was confined to mere gentle exercise; therefore we have nothing particular to report from those training quarters in our present edition. Their gallops at Newmarket, however, shall be faithfully recorded day by day.] Predictions for the Cesarewitch. We select the following "predictions" on the Cesarewitch from the principal sporting writers of the press : Bell's Life We look for the winner in Proserpina, and anticipate, supposing she does not get home, that both La Favorite and Dubiety will be among her immediate attendants.

It is my belief that if Potomac, whom I long regarded to have the best chance of all the horses engaged, be shelved for her stable companion, that we shall see the race fall to Rama or War. Sunday Times -V ATICINATOR. In a later addition we may possi bl y have toplump for Bradamante, Chepstow, and Lothario. ADMIRAL ROUS'S OPINION OF THE TRIBUTE FILLY AT THE LATE NEWMARKET MEETING. NEWMARKET, Oct. 3.—ln a £lO Sweepstakes, Wednes day, First October Meeting, the filly out of Tribute was inadvertently named "by Vedette," instead of "by Pro mised Land." A difference of opinion exists respecting the disposal of the bets on the ground that, according to the first rule of betting (" In all bets there must be a pos sibility to win when the bet is made —you cannot win when you cannot lose") the bets on the Tribute filly were void. I must premise my remarks by saying that this good honest rule, so beautiful in theory, is chimerical in practice. A lame or dying horse may be laid against ac cording to betting law for any p.p. race until the event comes off, or so long as he is not scratched for his engagement. It is not so disgusting as un unprin cipled owner milking his horse, favourably weighted, with a good chance to win if allowed to start ; but both parties are within the precincts of the law. Without the shadow of reflection on my noble and good friend the owner of the Tribute filly I must argue the case not as an especial cute, but on general principles. If a horse wrongly named comes in first it is possible, though not probable, that the secret may be kept until the expiration of a year, then it would be too late to refund, therefore there is a possibility to win. The original precedent of bets being declared off owing to an incorrect nomination was Elinor v. Torquoise, Oaks, 1828; but in this instance the objection was made before the race, and Elinor was not allowed to start, the bets between Torquoise and Elinor were declared void, as there was no such animal as Elinor by Gustavus ; but if Elinor had started all the bets against her would have been won, whether she came in first or last—the cir • cumstance of the starter calling the jockeys to take their places renders every race, including matches, p.p. In this instance the bettors lay against a filly stated by the owner to be got by , Vedette, on the strength of the field money in crease the amount of their speculations against the winner. Why are they to suffer ? In all cases of running horses under a false description the backers place themselves in the same position with the owner, if they be thrown over by the jockey or trainer. They have no redress. The backers of Running Rein and Leander for the Derby of 1844 paid their bets, although the former was four and the other six years old. Now, be pleased to consider the mischievous policy of the objectors. Taking their view of the subject to may win back my colt, misnamed purposely, for the Derbyi £50,000.

The stoppage was announced yesterday afternoon of the Asiatic Banking Corporation. The failure of Premchaud Rogchaud, on the 19th, caused an increase in the panic, and as this firm was one of the largest shareholders and debtors, it was found mpossible to avert the suspension. The liabilities of the establishment at the end of the year amounted to £6,500,000, but the continued drain upon them has reduced the amount to less than £4,000,000. The'bank was not under the Limited Lia bility Act, and the shareholdersare liable for twice the amount of their subscriptions. The assets, it is stated, will be sufficient to meet all engagements. The head office was in London, and there were agencies and branches at Bombay, Calcutta, Ma. dras, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghae, and Melbourne. The following circular has been issued TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Asiatic Banking Corporation, 4, Lombard-street, London, Oct. 5,186 G. Sir,—The directors of the Asiatic Banking Corporation extremely regret to state that in consequence of a telegram received this morning front the Bombay agent of this bank► announcing the suspension of payments of that agency' they are compelled to close the bank. A statement of the'affairs of the bank will be prepared, and a meeting of the creditors will be convened as early as possible after the arrival of the ensuing mail from Bombay. —By order of the directori, F. W. LAWRENCE, Acting General Manager. Some of the members of the late committee of investigation and of the new board of direCtors of the Joint-Stock Discount Conpany have issued a report to the shareholders, in which they state that " some securities are altogether unsaleable, and that the greater part are for the present quite uncon vertible." They agree with ➢ir. Harding, the liquidator, that it is impossible to express any opinion as to the amount which may_ eventually be recovered from these securities, and that the peculiar character of the greater portion of them precludes the possibility of snaking any reliable estimate. The committee finally state that they consider it is to the interests of the shareholders to pay the calls made by the court, to enable the liquidator to arrange with the creditors. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures remain firm at 64f 65f ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 45i, The following has been received from the Defence Fund Association of Overend, Gurney, and Co. re specting proceedings taken against the directors : "In connexion with the affairs of 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., it is announced that Mr. Dundas, one of the Committee, and who originated the proceedings in the Court of Chancery,and which resulted in the independent investigation, has, owing to the dis coveries which have been recenty made by Mr. Howell (Walker, Reddall, Nix, and Howell), the accountant, commenced an action against the direc tors.

Captain John Elliott, commander of the Rifle, a Chinese trader, said that the deceased was his wife. About a week ago she left her home, in Scotland, to meet witness, who had returned from an 18 months' voyage abroad, and sh e an d h er three children took lodgings at 2, Circus, Minories. When witness met her she complained of O n being ill. Saturday . last wit ness re p rove d h er f o r be ing o extravagant whil e h e was at sea.

Sh e sa id th a t s h e had put some of the money in a Scotch bank, and then she said that she had put none of it in. Witness was about to return to Scotland, and she knew that he would find out all about the money, and that fact preyed upon her mind. She said to witness afterwards, "You will find out all by-and bye." On Monday afternoon witness returned home and found her dying from the effects of poison. Dr. W. Cook, Tower-hill, said that he was called in to see the deceased on Monday. Her face was pale and livid, and she was suffering from the effects of poison by laudanum. She had taken three drachms. Witness did not think the chemist ought to have given so much as throe drachms to deceased's servant. Mr. H. Medsall, chemist, Minories, said that ho refused to give the servant six drachms, and that ho would not have given her three drachms only that he knew her master kept a large lodging-house, and ho thought that it was required in case cholera broke out. Tho coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict, That the deceased destroyed her own life whilst in a state of tem poraryof the rebuke she had insanity, in consequen ce re ceived from her husband, and that she was afraid of the consequences of her acts when he returned to Scotland and found uo money in the bank." he no nst not try it's iial ery of ;an ely :le- on hs, the cts bo- Ice its lot cir too et 1 201 1U 100 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 5S 5,17.0, 90 2 1 1 I i
