TONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCR. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market presents no special feature. Very few bills are in circulation, because there is a probability that a reduction may be made to-morrow in the official minimum, although should the present quotation be continued for another week little sur prise would be evinced. The best bills are negoti able at 4 per cent., and bankers' acceptances at 3i per cent. The Stock Exchange Markets show little altera tion of importance. The English Funds arc being steadily maintained through the distribution of the dividends, and Consols are 891 for money, and 898 I for the account. Foreign titocks and some of the principal shares are at slightly enhanced value. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon were not of public interest. A supplementary contract has just been executed between the Secretary of State for India and the Madras Irrigation Canal Company, by which the former has agreed to lend to the latter funds as they may be required up to a total of £600,000 for the purpose of completing a section of the undertaking, and the works are now to be prosecuted with the utmost vigour. The principal of the lean in ques tion is to be secured by debentures payable in five Years from the date of each advance, but the interest is to remain a charge upon, and to be paid out of, profits when realised from the works. The new contract thus completed distinctly and positively provides that the guarantee upon the present shares of the company, representing £1,000,000, shall re main in force, and be in no way whatever affected or prejudiced either by the loan or the interest, or by the debentures to be given by the company ; and, therefore, it not only confirms the guarantee, but places its stability beyond doubt and question. The following, with regard to the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph line, is of importance to the commercial community : The lessees of the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph line beg leave to announce that the cable which ceased working last week has been repaired, and is again open for tele graphic correspondence with Egypt, India, and other coun tries in the East. To insure the transmission of telegrams by the direct route, and thus avoid the delays which take Place on the Turkish lines, it is necessary for the public to add the words, "via Malta," to the address of their cor respondents, otherwise messages for Egypt and India will be forwarded by the Continental telegraph authorities via C onstantinople. A small loan for the State of Massachusetts has been announced by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. The amount required is £413,300 in Bonds of £lOO each, bearing interest from Nov. 1, 1866, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable by half- Yearly dividend warrants on May 1 and Nov. 1 of oath y ear. The principal is redeemable on May 1, 1 . 8 1 ?4, and b o th pr i nc i pal and interest are domi ctuated at th e count i ng -house of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., and are also payable free of b arge at th e current rate of exchange in Am s_ti7dani at the office of Messrs.

The prisoner was remanded to Monday next, to be admitted to bail in the sum of £lO,OOO. The defalcations at present are said to amount to over £6,000. A SAFE CARRIED OFF BY BURGLARS.—The office of Mess rs .

TILE IRON CROWN OF LOMBARDY is composed of a broad circle of gold, set with large rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, on a ground of blue and gold enamel. But the most important part of the iron crown, from which it derives its name, is a narrow rim or band of iron three-eighths of an inch broad, and oue-tenth of an inch in thickness, at tached to the inner circumference of the circle. This inner band of sacred iron is believed to have been made of one of the nails of the crucifixion, and accounts for the veneration in which it has b een a l ways h e ld .

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND ROBBERY AGAINST A PUB LICAN.-31r. P. Cowell, the landlord of the York Arms, High Holborn, was placed at the bar, charged with assault ing the prosecutor, and stealing from him a diamond pin valued at £lO. Mr. W. Sleigh attended for the prosecution, and, in opening the case, he was proceeding with some family matters in connection with the defendant and the prose cutor, who had married his daughter, when the magistrate said he had better confine himself to the charge of assault and the felony. The following witnesses were examined to support the charge. Nr. Martin Lynch said ho resided at 9, Southampton row, Holborn, and on the 9th of October, about half-past 11 p.m., he was out walking with a gentleman named Groves. They passed the defendant's house, the York Arms, Holborn, and Groves went in and then came out, and we both then went to the Rad Lion, at the corner of Lambs Conduit-street. After we had been there four or five minutes the prisoner rushed in, accompanied by eight or niuo persons. The prosecutor was standing at the bar with two friends when the prisoner rushed past them, and coming up to him (witness) ho said, "You hero ; that's my pin you have got in your scarf," and with that he caught hold of it and tore it from my scarf, and handed it to one of the men who came in with him. He then struck him (witness) over the left eye, and immediately after he re ceived a blow from a stick from behind which rendered him insensible. On coming to he found himself on the floor, and on observing his hat behind the bar he asked for it, when the landlord told him to get out, as he did not want him. He found the prisoner had been taken into custody and he (prosecutor) signed the sheet which charged him with assault. He bought the pin at a jeweller's in Hol born for £ll 10s. It was a gold pin horse-shoe, set with opals and diamonds. The injuries he had sustained were very severe. Cross-examined—He knew a person named Parker, and was in his house about 5 minutes before. Mr. Groves, who was with him, resided in Eastcheap ; the second per son in his company was a gentleman named Preston. He was quite sober at the time the assault was committed. He never loft any insulting message for the defendant with the landlord of the Coach and Horses, neither did he do any thing to annoy him. The prisoner did not say that hi s money bought the pin ; he said it was his pin, and he bought it. The defendant never gave him £2O to pay his debts. He gave him L5O, and out of that he bought the pin. He had only received £5O in all from the prisoner since he had married his daughter. Before his (witness's) wedding prisoner paid .£4O for a watch for him which he (witness) had now in his possession. Mr; William Parker was called—he said ho resided at Wells-street, Seymour-street, and was in the York Arms public-house kept by the defendant on the Bth October ; that he was not in position to state positively what hap pened on the night in question. Mr. John Briggs, the landlord of the Red Lion, Holborn, said on the evening in question the prosecutor and his friends came into his house. He would not swear he was sober. The defendant Cowell came in with some other person ; the prosecutor and his friends were standing. He heard the defendant say something about a pin, and then a disturbance took place. Mr Warner Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, here put some questions to the witness, as to whether he saw the prisoner strike the complainant. The questions caused a great deal of hesitation. Mr. Vaughan told the witness he was sworn to tell the truth, and he was asked whether he saw the prisoner strike the prosecutor. He either saw him do so or he did not, one of the two, and he could therefore say yes or no. The witness, after a deal of hesitation, admitted that he saw tho prisoner strike the prosecutor. Mr. John Groves, clerk, engaged at 28, Eastcheap, said he was in company of Mr. Lynch when the assault took place. Another person was also present. Covell came in with about 10 or 12 persons. He saw Mr. Lynch hold up his hand as if to protect his property, but he did not see the pin taken away The prosecutor was quite sober when he was attacked, and he left the public-house to look for the police. He did not know how the pin was lost. Mr. Paul, a surgeon, gave evidence to show the extent of the injuries received, which were very severe. Mr. Denny, who appeared for the defence, having addressed the magistrate, Mr. Vaughan said if he had to deal with the case he should more than problably send the defendant to prison for some time; but under all the circumstances ho thought, as the assault was a very aggravated one, he should send it for trial by a jury. Mr. Denny hoped the magistrate would do nothing of the kind. Mr. Vaughan said if, after what he had stated, it was wished for him to decide the matter, he was quite ready to do so. Mr. Denny said ho had not yet examined the wit nesses on behalf of the defendant, who was a most respect able man. Mr. V aughan said he would defer doing so until that day week. The prisoner was then ronianded, but was admitted to THE GREAT SILK ROBBERY. —Abraham Marks was again placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a large quantity of silk of the value of £BOO. The evidence against the prisoner was completed to-day, and he was fully com mitted for trial. find them decent garments ?

A DRUNKEN DRlVER.—Christian Black, a pork butcher, carrying on business at Deptford, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis under the following circumstances City-constable 736 said that yesterday about one o'clock he was on duty in King William-street, and saw the pri soner driving a h orse an d c art in the direction of Loudon-bridge, and he was at the wrong side of the road. The cart came in contact with an omnibus horse, and the shaft entered the horse's breast and came out at the shoulder. The horse was taken to a veterinary surgeon, but he believed it was dead. As the prisoner seemed quite drunk, he took him into custody, and he was bailed out about half-past six in the afternoon. He seemed to be quite unconscious of what had occurred. The proprietor of the omnibus said he valued it at £2O, and on being informed that the court had not the power to award more than £lO in a case of loss or,damage, he decided on bringing an action in the County Court. The prisoner admitted that ho was drunk, but said he was not so far gone as not to be able to take care of the horse, and that the accident occurred through the slippery state of the street. The prisoner was fined 405., which he paid. ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER.—Auguste Dues, a German, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a portmanteau containing different articles of clothing, the property of Victor Mahner, a Swiss. From the evidence it appeared that Mahnor and thirteen other men, who had just arrived from America, went to an hotel in the Crescent, Minories, bringing their luggage with them. The portmanteau was placed in the hall, and on the prisoner, who had been staying in the house, leav ing about an hour after Mahner's arrival, it was missed. Mahn(); who was going to France, declined to prosecute, but the proprietor of the hotel gave the prisoner into cus tody. The prisoner was traced to a lodging-house, kept by a person named Seers, i n Ship-alley, Wellclose - square, where the prisoner had been lodging, and the portmanteau was found there. The prisoner was taken into custody at a public-house on the Bth inst., but he denied any know ledge of the portmanteau. Another charge was preferred against the prisoner this day of having stolon a pair of gold ear-rings and other articles from the lodging-house of Seers. The prisoner was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET , SAVAGE ASSAULT.—Jane Hogan, a young roman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following assault on another young woman named Mary Hayes, residing in Market-street, Newport-market. The complainant said—Yesterday afternoon I was stand ing talking to my mother in Gerrard-street, when the pri soner, without the least provocation being given, came up to me and struck Ine several times, tore my hair, and bit my arm. Faulkner, 340 A, said that on going up I saw the pri soner holding complainant's hair with both hands, and biting the complainant's arm. 1 produce some of the com plainant's hair which the prisoner had in her hands. Prisoner—And I produce some of my own which the complainant pulled out. I've got quite as many marks as the complainant. We had a fight— Complainant—There was nothing of the kind. Mr. Tyrwhitt— The prisoner will have 40s. to pay or a month. Violent women must be checked as well as men. WESTMINSTER. OFFENDING THE PUBLIC D ECENCY.—John Williams, a country lad, about 17 years of age, was charged with wil fully destroying his clothes in the casual ward of St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea. William Coombes, the porter, said that the prisoner 'was admitted as a casual last night on a police order. At half past six Lthis morning he visited the casual ward, and found prisoner sitting up in his bed, tearing up his cloth ing. He asked prisoner why he tore it up, and he said it was in a bad state. His clothes certainly were very bad, but they were so fit to wear that they would not offend public decency. Prisoner said ho went to King - street,Whitehall station, to get an order for St. Martin's Workhouse. The sergeant on duty told him he was not fit to walk about, as he was indecent. He then wont to Chelsea Station to get an order. They made no remarks to him. He tore them up as they were indecent. Mr. Arnold told prisoner he should have applied at the workhouse to get better clothes, and not tear them up to compel the workhouse authorities to give him fresh clothes.

Eleanor Tingay, the prosecutris, said that the was in her parlour and saw the prisoner enter her shop, wsdk to the end of her counter, and take up two packets .of cocoa. She entered her shop, and the prisoner, with mu ch appa rent simplicity, said, " A ha'porth of bread, mat a." She told him he had stolen her cocoa, and took the twt packets out of his pockets. , Stephen Moore, a police-constable, 609 A, said the pri soner was in custody last week for stealing a bottle of vinegar from the shop door of an oil and colourman in the Conimercial-road. He was then allowed to go at large owing to the reluctance of the prosecutor to proceed against him. Tho Prisoner —Please, sir, I didn't steal the " eoku."

The boy called out, "I am stubbed, I urn dying." The boy was carried to the hospital. .The house surgeon of the London Hospital said the boy was stabbed on the left side, just over the heart. He was happy to say the wound was not dangerous. The prisoners said that several boys aggravated them. gr. Paget remanded the prisoners. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - -This Day.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. To-morrow we shall be enabled to lay before our readers a very useful list of the acceptors for this great race, which is to be run off next Tuesday. It has been specially com piled for us, and will not only show what the different trainer's "lots" are, but give the pedigrees of the various animals, the actual weight they have to carry (several penalties having been incurred), and the whole of the " scratchings "to the eve of publication. I'o backers and layers the compilation will be invaluable. NEWMARKET. This morning we had a large number of horses in real good work, and amongst them several Cambridgeshire nags. Ostregor was leading Actma a mile and a half, and Broomielaw was galloping a like distance with Out-and- Outer, Vespasian, and Mineral, the Scheldt and Breadal bane doing very little. Saladin and Jollity had a mile and three-quarters gallop ; and Charley Blanton was working the Duke of York and Harefield freely, Tormen tor being quiet. Peeress sweated. The American string were in active training, and Paris was going uncommonly wall. Peon's legs are very "dickey." Il Re Galantuomo showed temper. The Squite galloped about two miles. Regalia worked by her self, as usual, and Caithness took Chepstow a mile and a half at a clipping pace, the latter pulling hard all the way. Mount Palatine did rather better than a mile, and Cotton gave Robin Hood half a mile further than that. The senior Hayhoe sent Dalesman, Guinivere, and Tomahawk a mile and three-quarters, and they moved beautifully. Green was exercising Medina, and Nash paying attention to Clax ton. Jennings was bowling Sultan, Fleurette, and Puebla for a mile and a half, and Roland galloped nearly a couple of miles in the presence of his owner and trainer , Charley Ray ner, whom we wore pleased to find convalescent. Lightning and Countersign were doing literally nothing; but young Hayhoe gave Ambition a rattling mile and a half gallop. The principal two year olds at work this morning included the Hermit, D'Estournel, The Rake, Knight of the Garter, Stradbroke, Dragon, Friponnier, Pericles, Cerf Volanta, and Trocadero ; but of these D'Estournel and The Rake exorcised the least, the others doing about a mile each. We also saw the following animals getting forward :—Lochaber, Pedagogue, Stolen Kisses, Satyr, Imporator, Sunnylocks, Star of India, Bombastes, Jasper, Janne, Julius, Falken stein, Littleport, and Court Card. ILSLEY. We have only one Cambridgeshire Stakes candidate in training here, and that is The Celt. He looks exceedingly well, and is doing good mile-and-a-quarter work, but is barely class enough for a race, of that deseription. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and a half steadily; and Achieve ment about three quarters of a mile. Jazabel led Dover's youngsters, as usual ; and Gardevisure galloped a mile and a half. Commissioner, Grisette, and Gay Toni were in good strong work. MALTON. Tarabau is hourly expected to be put through the mill with Knight of the Crescent, and he is in pretty fair con dition. If he wins his trial he will be hard to beat for the Criterion Stakes next week. Treasure Trove galloped a mile and three quarters this morning; and Klariuska over a couple of miles. The latter goes to Newmarket for the Houghton week. Westwick, War, and the Lion were only cantering to day. Dawson's horses are in moderate work only, and Peck's too. I'Anson's. were not out. STOCKBRIDGE. This morning our Cambridgeshire horses Master Richard, Repulse, and Black Prince (by Voltigeur) were very busy. The first mentioned galloped a mile and a half very fast, and the other two went a similar distance each. Rustic did two.miles, and Lecturer followed Ack worth a mile and three-quarters. We' understand that Scarborough is coming here to be tried with Master Richard and Lecturer.. Amongst the two year olds in active preparation we noticed Vauban, Uncas, Distin (the two latter very big, though), Lady Hester, Prodigal. Ophicleide, Vendette, and the Duchess. Eom Brown gal loped Wild Agnes a mile and, a half, but she goes very ahort. TURF AGENCY OFFICE, 100, JERMTN-STREET, ST. JAMES'S, LONDON. MR.
