MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE. i- TWELVE 0' CLO CK. Discount accommodation continues on a mode rately active scale, but as the supplies of floating capital are not abundant, bankers and others will only negotiate the best paper at 7 per cent.—the Bank minimum. Trade continues to show symp toms of expansion, and our commercial condition may be regarded as satisfactory. • An amount of gold, to the value of £135,000,was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, the 27th inst., a special settling day on the £lB Inconvertible Preference Shares of the Midland Railway Company, which are to be quoted in the official lists. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. Sugars have been neglected, while only limited dealings have been reported in tea and rice. Coffee, however, has been in good demand, at fully late value s ; while saltpetre and tallow have been in mo derate request at steady rates. Two O'CLOCK.

LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Mellor, ghee, and Lush.) CHURCHWOOD V. THE QUEEN. This special case came before the court on a petition of rights arising out of an alleged breach of contract on the part of Government. Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. Duncan, Q.C., and Mr. Hannen were counsel for the plaintiff, and the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and another learned gentleman, for the Crown. ' It appeared that the plaintiff entered into a contract with the Government for the conveyance of mails between Dover, Calais, and Ostend, for which he was to receive a subsidy of £lB,OOO a year. About four years ago it was considered advisable by the Government to discontinue the services which the suppliant or plaintiff contended could not be carried out under the spirit and terms of the contract. The suppliant devoted six large vessels to the service, and now claimed £120,000, amount of the subsidy remaining unpaid. The whole arguments turned on the construction of tho terms of the contract. The case is likely to occupy some days. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) • IN ILE S. I. NAYSMYTH. This bankrupt was described as a merchant, of 32, George-street, St. Helen's, trading under the style of C. J. Nasmyth and Co., and to-day he came up to pass his last examination for the order of discharge. The accounts show debts, £46,000 ; the Hindustan, China, and Japan Bank being creditors for £12,440 ; and on the other side, the deficiency is £12,419. Mr. Reed, on behalf of creditors, applied for an ad journment for two months, in order that the bankrupt might file a cash account for the nine months preceding the failure. After hearing Mr. Lawrence, his Honour directed an adjournment in order that the official assignee might look into the accounts, and the bankrupt file a deficiency account. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. THE FRAMS ON THE BIRMINGHAM BANK At the sitting of the Court this morning, a large number of letters, which had passed between the prisoners and other persons, were put in and read by Mr. Kemp, one of the clerks of the court. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then summed up the evidence which he adduced yesterday on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., addressed the jury in favour of Taylor; Mr. Ribton for Kelly. Tho Common Sergeant summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict of guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced each of them to 18 months' imprisonlnent, with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Charles Child, who was last evening convicted of hav ing in his possession counterfeit coin, was brought up for sentence. The prisoner, who this morning wore a coloured silk neckerchief, appeared quite a different man to what he did upon his trial, and it appeared that he well knew the effect which the change in his neckerchief would have upon his general appearance, for on the way from the gaol to the dock yesterday he took the one he wore from his neck to make him look better for a jury. Inspector Brennan, of the Mint, said that he had known the prisoner for ten years as a receiver of stolen goods, a card-sharper, and an associate of thieves. The great city burglaries were planned at his house, and much of the pro perty came there. He had been watching his house for six months, during which time he was dealing in base coins. Sentenced to five years' penal servitude. THE CABE OF DR. HUNTER. The grand jury this morning returned a true bill against Dr. Hunter. The trial will, it is expected, take place on Friday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. the prisoner had been in Mr. Warburg's service, have yet to be examined. Mr. Paget thought this was a case of obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Warburg would call a witness as to the prisoner's confession of guilt. Mr. Paget said he did not intend to complete the inves tigation this day, and the prosecutor had better reserve that evidence. He asked the amount of the additions the prisoner had made. Mr. Warburg said from March 5, 1865, to October last, the additions were £526. Mr. Paget said there was a charge entered on the police sheet of the prisoner making an attempt to destroy himself. Mr. Warburg —That is no charge of mine. Mr. Paget requOsted the prosecutor to state the particu lars. Mr. Warburg said the prisoner confessed he had robbed him of the amount stated all but £27, and then took a bottle from his pocket and began drinking the contents, a white liquid. He thought the prisoner was drinking gin and ,water to allay his thirst, but was soon undeceived. It was oxalic acid, and there was a printed label on the bottle describing its contents. The prisoner was in great agony when he had all but emptied the bottle, and he sent for two doctors, who dosed him well and brought the contents off his stomach. He rejoiced that he had saved the young man's life. The prisoner, who appeared very ill and dejected, was asked if he had anything to say or questions to ask of Mr. Warburg, to which he replied not at present. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. LITERATURE. The Bucklyn Shaig ; a Tale of the last Century. By the Hon. Mrs. Alfred Montgomery. 2 vols. Richard Beutley. This is a very interesting tale, which takes its name from a country superstition which exists, the authoress tell us, in the vicinity of Reigate, in Surrey. Nutley Hall and Raymond Castle, the neighbouring domains of two brothers, Lord Clifford and his younger brother, Roger, are said to be haunted by a spectral rider, and here is the history of his appearance : 31ABLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A MUSICIAN.—John Kelly, a rough fellow, who refused his address, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with robbing Mr. Lewis Vanderham, a musician, employed at one of the Opera houses, and residing at LTo. 6, Church terrace, Battersea, of his watch. On the case being called on, police-constable Bull, 80 F, said the prosecutor was not in attendance, but a person who saw the prisoner with the watch in his hand was. Mr. Wm. Wotton, of 5, Arthur-street East, said that as he was coming from the Opera-house last night, along St. Martin's-stra9t, he observed three or four persons rollinF , about in the middle the prisoner by the collar, and saw him with a watch in ..~• - his hand lging to a person who, he believed, was a a at the Opera-house, and who was on his way mus chair .tch iiuic was not cluiaclied from the In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, t several other persons round at 4. were rescuea U. r_:= The prisoner said he never saw the watch, and that he was drunk at the time. The constable said that he went up, seeing a number of persons collected in St. Martins-street. The witness was holding the prisoner by the collar, and said that he had stolen a watch. The prisoner was quite sober, but on the way to the station pretended to be drunk. _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and a summons could be taken out to compel the person robbed to attend. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGES BY A SOLDER AT KNIGHTS BRIDGE.—Thomas Tucker and Robert Turner, the latter a private in the Grenadier Guards, were charged with the following series of assaults : Frederick Corner, landlord of the Pakenham Arms, Knightsbridge-green, said that at a little before 12 o'clock last night he was called out to a disturbance in front of the bar with two soldiers, one of whom was Turner. They wanted to fight, and were backed up on either side by seven or eight roughs, who used most filthy language. He told them he could not allow such language, and or dered the soldiers out, as he considered them the ring leaders. They refused to go, and on his telling them he would send for the police they abused him. He then got the assistance of the police, and proceeded to turn the soldiers out. The other soldier went quietly, but the de fendant Turner was very violent, and while they were ejecting him Tucker was engaged in assaulting witness by striking him repeatedly on the back of the head. When Turner was put out, he turned his attention to Tucker who continued to assault him and struck his potman re peatedly. After he was put out he forced his way in again three or four times, and each time assaulted witness and the petman. Turner was drunk and Tucker was sober. John Cox, the prosecutor's barman, was called and cor roborated his master's account of the transaction. John Godfrey, the potman, also called, stated that on going to The assistance of his master Tucker struck him repeatedly. He was at length put out and assaulted the police, and on witness going to their assistance both the defendants struck him about the head. He then ran down the Brompton-road to assist the polibe again, and on coming back he was knocked down by some of the defendant's companions. Police-constable 364 B said that he took Tucker into custody, whereupon Turner struck hips, and then Tucker also struck him, and they fell down together. Witness succeeded in keeping his hold of the defendant Tucker and rose to his feet with him, when the soldier pulled off his belt, but another constable coming up at this mo ment, he hid his belt under his coat. The prisoners were then taken separately to the station, and were violent on their way. _ _ _ Both the accused denied the charge in tote, and said they were assaulted themselves. In answer to Mr. Arnold's inquiries, the landlord of the public-house said that Tucker was ordinarily quiet, but the soldier's sergeant gave him a bad character. Mr. Arnold said Turner's conduct had been very bad, and ho never forgave a soldier taking off his belt. He should sentence the soldier to one month's imprisonment, and Tucker he should fine 205., or send him to prison for fourteen days. They were locked up. THAMES. EXTENSIVE AND PECULIAR SYSTEM OP ROBEEILY.—Georgo Lewis, aged 27 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing £526, the moneys of his employer, Mr. Simeon Warburg, cigar manufacturer, of No. 54, Man sell-street, Whitechapel, and also with attempting to de stroy himself by swallowing a quantity of oxalic acid. The prisoner had been in tho service of Mr. Warburg for 11 years as clerk, and the greatest confidence was re posed in him. It was part of his duty to pay the people in Mr. Warburg's service weekly, and to keep an account of the money so expended. For a period of three years at intervals ho had debited his employers with more than he had expended in paying the persons in Mr. Warburg's employ, and false entries in the books. He com menced by defrauding his employer of small sums in making up his weekly accounts, and finished by an over charge of £7 in the account for the week ending Nov. 18, The money expended by the prisoner for the week was £9O Bs. 9d., the amount charged was £97 Bs. 9d. Mr. Warburg went over his books with the magistrate, and showed how elaborately the frauds had been carried out by the prisoner. He also produced a carefully -prepared list of the prisoner's defalcations from week to week, some as low as 205., and others as high as £B. This extended over a period of three years, but the books of the establishment for the previous eight years, making in all eleven years, The Alleged Murder in Lisson Grove. A paragraph has appeared to the effect that an Irishman named O'Flanagan was brutally murdered at 17, Nightingale-street, Lisson-grove. There are no grounds whatever in the statements given. The facts being that O'Flanagan quarrelled with a fellow lodger named Jones on Saturday night last, and ultimately they came to blows, but were separated. At 10 o'clock the same night O'Flanagan went to his home in Nightingale-street, being very drunk at the time. On arriving at the top of the first flight of steps he overbalanced himself and fell down the stairs head foremost. The sound of the fall brought the assistance of other lodgers, who conveyed the man to St. Mary's Hospital, where he died in a few minutes afterwards. Dr. Woodward, on examination, found no out ward marks of violence, save a slight abrasion on the left side of the head, and that the cause of death was fracture of the collar-bone. There is not the slightest foundation in the state ment that he had been stabbed, that he had been hit with:a hammer, or that he had been thrown over the staircase, and that his back was broken. The wife of Jones was yesterday examined at the John-street station, but was not detained many minutes, there being not the slightest evidence to implicate either her or her husband. That the death of O'Flanagan was purely acci dental there cannot be the slightest doubt. Alarming Railway Accident near Kelso. • An accident, attended with serious, though hap pily not with fatal results, took place on Saturday night, about ten minutes past 6 o'clock, at the Heiton siding on the Kelso branch of the North British Railway, about four miles west of the junc tion of the North British with the North Eastern Railway. The accident happened by a passenger train running into a stationary goods train, and the result was that 13 persons—ten passengers, and the three men in charge of the train—were more or less hurt ; some of them severely. The passenger train was thq ordinary one due at Kelso about 6 o'clock. The goods train was a spe cial, and consisted of somewhere about 15 waggons. At the time when the accident occurred, part of the goods train was standing upon the down line, those in charge of it being engaged in shunting off or taking on waggons from the Heiton siding, and when the passenger train came along it dashed right into the stationary one. The crash was ter rific, and the consequences, as already stated, very serious. The passengers, of whom it is reported there were somewhere about thirty, were vio lently pitched about. All the persons in charge of the pass,. A ger Lrain wen - • , red. The driver and stoker escaped with comparatively_ sl;,* inju ries. Both of them either jumped off ,seef f Etflrqwp f from the engine. The guard, Alex. 1ii..',:j6 11 §4.,iy-ed ;seen injuries of a more (izigerour, naturc. thrown from one end of his sustained concussion of the brain. t) bruises. The Rev. A. Gordon, a • _ nin con nc.t.ion with the Free Church, wilt, was,on his way . !Mate in Sprouston Free Church, Kelso, suf fered severe injuries the face and head. A com mercial traveller belonging to Kelso, Mr. John Ledgerwood, was pitched over three compartments of a third-class carriage, and escaped with injuries on the left arm and hip. A young lad was lying extended on a seat, the back of whichwas knocked out, evidently by some one being thrown against it, and the boy pitched upon the floor of the carriage, little hurt. In all 13 persons at least have been injured. The carriages of the passenger train ap peared to have sustained little damage. What is not a little singular also is the fact that a hunting horse belonging to Mr Rathie, which was shut up in the van next the engine, escaped without sustaining the slightest apparent injury. The engine of the passenger train has been much damaged, having ploughed its way right into the guard's van of the goods train, where it remained a fixture. The da mage done to the goods train is serious, several of the trucks being smashed to pieces. The guard's van was split up, in one or two cases a waggon was forced upwards on to the preceding one, the down line was blocked up for the night, but the traffic was carefully and safely conducted over the up line, though the trains did not keep accurate time. On the collision taking place a message speedily con veyed intelligence to the stationmaster at Roxburgh, which is only about 200 or 300 yards from where the accident occurred, and that officer at once telegraphed to Kelso for aid. Mr. Trotter, the station agent at Kelso, immediately got ready a special train, and along with all the force of porters he could collect proceeded to the scene of the accident. The maimed and bleeding passengers were at once attended to. The passengers were speedily brought to Kelso, where those who required it received medical attend ance. The cause of the accident will probably be the subject of a searching investigation. The following are the names of those injured : Rev. A. Gordon, Free Church clergyman ; Mr. John Ledgerwood, commercial traveller ; Miss Ali son Henderson, Kelso ; Miss Gardener, Yetholm ; Miss Main, Kelso ; Mr. Henderson, teacher of Eng lish School, Kelso ; Mr. Wm. Cook, pupil-teacher, Kelso Grammar School ; R. Chisholm, a porter at Earlstown Station of the Berwickshire Railway ; David Thomson, labourer, Roxburgh Newtown ; William Sawyers, surfaceman on the North British Railway ; Edwd. Keenan, hawker, Kelso. On Sunday morning the guard of the goods train, and a porter assisting in the shunting, were appre hended. A force of labourers were engaged in clear ing the line during the night, and the road is clear for traffic. m to I! MARKETS—This Day. HAY.

I" The story goes that long ago there was a very wicked Lord Clifford, who lived at Raymond Castle, for in those days the castle and the hall both belonged to the same per3on. "This wicked Lord Clifford had murdered his wife, and buried her somewhere in the castle. He led a bad life, and drank hard, and oppressed the poor. One day a holy Franciscan came to Lord Clifford to ask an alms. The baron was going out bunting. He wore a broad hunting belt, with a great gold buckle, and he had very fierce dogs, for he was going to hunt the wolf in the great forest under the hill. The friar asked for alms for his house, and for the poor of the neighbouring hamlet, and ho upbraided Lord Clifford for his cruelty to the widow and the orphan. He was a bold man that barefooted friar, but he said what he said for love of God and Our Lady. The wicked baron got very angry, and swore at the friar, and, as the friar would not be silent, he struck him with hls great hunting-whip on the mouth, and the blood flowed. Then he called to his savage dogs, and they flew at the friar. They grew mad at the sight of blood, and they tore the friar down on the ground, and there he lay half dead. But as Lord Clifford was riding off the friar called out, 'Lord Clifford, Lord Clifford, I forgive thee • but the Evil One will ride with thee to-night, and hold by the buckle of thy belt.' "Lord Clifford called off his hounds, and they followed the hunt through all the day; but when evening came Lord Clifford was missing. The huntsmen and the guests heard screams far off in the forest, but he never came back Only all through the night they heard the sound of a horse. galloping, as if backwards and forwards, just along that piece of the road opposite the small pond with the island. The horse never reached the castle, but went up and down the same distance along the road, as if the rider never could find his way home. And they do say that sometimes the labourers, returning home at night, have seen a horse at full gallop : there sits on him a man pale and horrid, and holding on behind, with his arms round his waist, is the devil, for all the world like a very shaggy wolf, and the peasants call it the Bucklyn Shaig ; and I have been told occasionally when some persons who perhaps had not a very clear conscience (for I cannot believe it would hap pen to a good man) have been riding down that part of the road, Bucklyn Shaig, who seems always to haunt the place, will jump up behind the unhappy man and throw his arms round his waist, as ho is seen to do round the phantom Lord Clifford, and so will ride with him, whether he will or no, till he passes out of the shade of the trees again into the open road and over the brook ; and then the devil leaps down and jumps over the fence in the shape of a black cat. And the story goes, that when Bucklyn Shaig is seen it is always a sign that some great crime has been committed up at the castle, or that a great misfortune is about to happen to the house of Clifford." Such is the Bucklyn Shaig, and the legend is cer= tainly romantic enough to have arrested the atten tion of the novelist. We have been somewhat dis appointed, however, at not finding any actual re appearance of the monster in the course of the nar rative. Assuredly Roger Clifford and his valet Vincenzo are sufficiently wicked to arouse a whole legion of evil spirits. The lovers of sensation have, in these volumes, a rich treat before them. The murder of Roger's guest and gambling companion is, with all the preliminaries and accessories, most startlingly particularised. The unhappy victim, having a dark suspicion of the intentions of his friend, puts aside the coffee which is hospitably proffered to him, and asks only for champagne and a couple of eggs, shrewdly believing that the wire fastening of the one and the shell of the other will render them inaccessible to the manoeuvres of the poisoner. This caution, however, proves unavail ing, but we refer the curious in these matters to the pages of the " Bucklyn Shaig" for a most elaborately described and effective murder. Other and better attractions for differently disposed readers will be found in a contemplation of the lovely character of Teresa Clifford. The work is dedicated, with much feeling and affection, to the memory of a be loved friend—" the truest of women and the most faithful of friends"—and that cherished companion, we doubt not, lives again in the peaceful portrait of the perfect Teresa. The girlish and impetuous Rosy is a charming contrast to her gentle cousin. The climax of the tale where the one cousin has uncon- - )ualy taken the narcotic intended for the other, the scene where one is falling asleep from the opiate, and the other restless from excitement, is very power fully ;described and full of melo-dramatic interest. We must not betray all the secrets of the tale. Suffice it to say that Mrs. Montgomery has most skilfully and artistically combined the appalling and exciting attractions of the sensational school with the higher qualifications of thought and feeling. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. Yesterday afternoon the first meeting of the session of the Asiatic Society was held at their house in New Burlington-street--Sir Edward Cole brooke in the chair. The table was covered with nunerous presents of books received since the last meeting in July. Six new members were balloted for and elected. A paper, contributed by Dr. Hoole, was then read by the secretary " On the Kural of Tiruvalluver," translated by the late Dr. Grant, and considered the finest specimen of Tamil litera ture. Dr. Hoole took a general view of the work, describing its character, and giving some of the most striking passages, which inculcated moral pre cepts in highly poetical language. The date of the book is uncertain, but Dr. Hoole is of opinion it was written at the end of the eighth century. After a few remarks from the chairman, thanks were given to the author of the paper, and the meeting ad journed to the 4th of December. At the commence ment of a new session we have again to regret that the Royal Asiatic Society, which possesses the ele ments of much usefulness, and ranks among its members noblemen and gentlemen of great influence and intelligence, personally well acquainted with India, should not procure interesting papers to be read at the periodical meetings calculated to pro mote the interests of our vast Eastern empire. The papers too often read have no vitality, and, like the one of yesterday, elicit no discussion. Hence it is that the meetings of the society are usually very thinly attended. DR. JOHNSON'S LOVE FOR BURTON'S ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY is well known, but there was a fitness of things in his sympathy with it. Everything in Burton was adapted to make him the pet of the lexicographer—the congenial temper and melancholy to begin with, then the infinite capacity, a bottomless maw—for learned detail, combined with adequate and even strong perception, but perception just short of that critical, analytical, i.nd artistic temper which accepts detail as a necessary but deplorable evil, and which through long centuries, with a yearning passion after some ultimate unity, keeps throwing detail overboard with the long despair, yet constant hope of land, of the lost mariner in a cranky craft. Burton has none of this weariness of detail ; he has no criticism properly so called, or just the modicum which Johnson had, and which sufficed to his wants as a literary partisan and Tory—not for new truth. In both men, combined with their melan choly is a rollicking, gravis-armatum raillery, armed cap-a pie iu learning and quotation, a heavy scorn, a rolling of the fine literary porpoise hither and thither from shore to shore, and a delight (in Burton at all events) in the storm and jumble of quotations, without any critical ideas in his head as to the ocean itself in which he tumbles about-- tumbling, not without a grace which must have seemed ravishing to the big Sesquipedalian. No wonder the Doc tor said "it was the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise." He himself thought it overloaded with quotation, and no doubt he was the better artist, and had seen chaster models, but even to him Burton's mania for quotation was no worse than the ceaseless rattle of an established wit who really delights the audience that laughs at his clatter.—Spectator.

VIENNA, NOV. 16. Although the negotiations for the Anglo-Aus trian commercial treaty are, if not broken off, at any rate interrupted for the present, it may not be uninteresting to supply the clauses that have been under discussion. The following is stated to be a correct summary of the draft proposed by the Eng lish negotiators : " Art. 1. Secures to the subjects of both Powers the same liberty of trade and navigation as other foreigners, and the same rights in business affairs as are enjoyed by natives. " Art. 2. Products and manufactures of both Powers, from whatever source derived, shall not be liable to higher duties than similar,, articles of any other country, nor, be subjected to prohibitions which do not affect all other countries. As a general rule, Austria will not levy higher import or prohi bitive duties upon English goods than to the ex tent of 15 per cent. of the value. 4 , Art. 3. Exportation shall also be carried on upon the footing of the most favoured nations. Austria will impose at most 5 per cent. upon value as export duty. " Art. 4 stipulates for equal treatment of the subjects of both Powers with regard to drawbacks, transit dues, warehousing, &c. " Art. 5. No difference shall be made with regard to duties, whether the import and export of goods takes place in an Austrian or English vessel, or whether they are shipped from the place of their productions or not, or whether they are conveyed to an Austrian, an English, or a foreign port. " Art. 6. Harbour dues shall be the same as upon native vessels. " Art. 7.
