There is less capital afloat and more demand for it, and the brokers are consequently asking higher rates. The general quotation for first-class short dated paper is about 7 per cent. The continued adverse condition of the Continental and Eastern exchanges has completely changed the complexion of affairs, and there is now little expec tation of any immediate concession in the rate of discount at the Bank of England. £150,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The fifth ordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Joint Stock Discount Company was held to-day. The report presented stated that Owing to the embarrassment of a firm engaged in railway contracts, whose securities this company holds to a considerable extent, the directors, although large profits have been realized during the past half year, do not consider it desirable to declare a divi dend, and after the most earnest consideration they have found it advisable, in the interest of the share holders, to make a call of £5 per share.

OFFICIAL INQUIRY—(TIIIS DAY). This investigation was resumed this morning at the Greenwich police-court, before Mr. Trail and Captains Harris and Baker. The witnesses examined yesterday were those engaged in the construction of the vessel, the object being to prove that which has never been denied, viz., that the London was a ship of first-rate excellence ; the great points in the inquiry, and those for which the public are waiting with the greatest anxiety, the stowing of the cargo and the conduct of those in command of the vessel, still remaining for investi- gation. The first witness examined to-day was William Bundock, who said—l am a sailmaker and ships' husband to the Messrs. SVigram. I made the sails for the London. I have the sail report book for them, signed by Captain Martin, and datad the 28th of Nov., 1865. Witness banded in the book, and the list was read by the clerk. By Mr. O'Dowd—l saw the sails on board on her last voyage ; five of them were new and made of the best Irish flax. All were put in good order before she left London. By Captain Harris—She had no mainstorm staysail. She had a foretop staysail, and a mizen staysail. It is not the practice to supply ships with other sails than those supplied to the London. Captain Martin had every sail he wished for. Had he wanted any particular one it would have been put on board. He did not require any other stormsails than those on board the vessel. All the sails were of No. 1 quality. Captain Harris—You could not have had a stronger canvas than that. Captain P. J. Reeves—l reside at 110, Fenchurch street, and my employment is general surveyor of shipping under the Emigration Commissioners. I am an independent officer, and survey ships on my own private account. I have been 25 years en gaged in such business. I saw the London in dry dock on Nov. 28 last. I surveyed her at that time, and made a memorandum which I now produce. [Memorandum read. It stated that the London was a fine, strong ship, with everything in first-rate order.] I surveyed her on her two previous voyages. Had I seen anything in the vessel that required alteration I most undoubtedly should have made a proper representation on the subject. Not a bolt or rivet had started. The only thing we found wanting was the water-ways requiring caulking, which was done. I send my reports to Captain Lean at the Emigration-office. Mr. Cornish—l surveyed the London previous to her last voyage, in company with the last witness. I concur in everything he has stated to-day. Mr. Alexander Gunn—l am clerk in the record department of the Register-general of Seamen at Adelaide-place, London-bridge. I produce the official copy of the articles of agreement of the London between master and crew. It is signed by all those parties respectively. The total number of the crew, all told, amounted to eighty-three amongst whom there were fifteen foreigners. There were 34 able British seamen. Captain Baker—Were all the foreigners able sea men ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Traill—How many of the foreigners had previously been in English ships ? Witness—Twelve. John Thomas Foster, one of the London emigration officers of the port of London—l am a staff commander in the Royal Navy. I in spected the London whilst she was in the East India dock. It was in the early days of her loading whilst she was taking in her dead weight previous to her last voyage. I was on board the ship whilst the railway iron was alongside in barges. Capt. Lean requested me to go into the hold and see to the manner in which it was stowed. I in- quired how much of the iron was to be taken in. I learnt from the chief officer of the ship that it was intended to take in about 350 tons, and on that . _ basis I examined the hold and saw the iron was properly stowed. There was then about 150 tons in the hold. We shall continue the inquiry in a later edition, A portion of the following appeared in our impression o yesterday : The inquiry into the causes connected with this terrible calamity was resumed this morning, at the Greenwich,Police-court, before Mr.Traill, the magis trate, and Captains Baker and Harris, the asses sors appointed by the Board of Trade. The evidence taken yesterday related principally to the construction of the vessel. This morning Mr. Thomas William Wawn was called. He said,—l am surveyor to Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping. That association is estab lished for the purpose of furnishing records to under writers, merchants, and shipowners of the qualities of British and foreign shipping. I have been act ing surveyor to this association for twelve years. My duties are to look after the building of vessels, and to see that they are constructed according to rules. I inspected the London while she was build ing, and, with reference to the rules, I examined her structure and materials. The materials used in the building of the London were of the best description, and the workmanship was of equal quality with the other. I examined the iron used in her plates—the quality was Weardale best best. The witness here gave in detail the thicknesses of the iron plates used in the building of the vessel. The upper deck was yellow pine, 4 inches thick, fastened with screw bolts to the beams. She had five water-tight bulkheads. Two of them had sliding doors— one between the engine room and reserve, and the other at the fore part of the screw tunnel, which would be the after bulkhead of the engine. Her bowsprit and lower masts were of iron, double rivetted at the butts and edges. All the masts went down to the keelsom except the mizenmast, which was stopped on the orlop deck beams. The top masts were of iron ; the yards, except the lower and topsail yards, were of steel. Her standing rigging was of wire, and the running of hemp of the best quality. She had two lifeboats, two long boats, and three other boats. She had a patent windlass and capstan, and steam winch, which was fitted to work the pumps. She had two iron pumps on deck and her engine pump. The rest of her outfit was in strict conformity with Lloyd's rules. She was classed "A a 1." She would maintain that class until objection was made at the periodical examination which it was imperative she should undergo. I surveyed her last December, and the result of that examination was that she was found in every respect in good condition. She was as good as she was in the beginning. I concur with Mr. Gladstone in his opinion with respect to her seaworthiness. I heard the evidence of Mr. Barber relative to the protection of the engines and fires from heavy seas, and I have considered the question as to how the engine hatchway should be protected against such occurrences. I agree with Mr. Barber that his plan is right in spar-decked vessels, and can be very easily carried out ; but in vessels with poops and forecastles there is a great objection to it, unless the engines were right aft, and then the plan can be adopted. I never saw any vessel better fitted than the London, except those intended to be overladen or blockade runners. I think that the combings of the London might have been of iron, as it was possible for accidents to occur. I should also have a wooden cover for them, although when the covers were on ventilation would be interfered with. As soon as the engine-room gets hot up come the engineers and down goes the engine, so that they might as well have none at all. If I went to sea myself, I should not require any other pro tection than those on board the London. Mr. Traill—Do you know what the calculated loaded draught of the London was ? Witness—lf the evidence we have heard is correct she might have gone down another foot and not be overloaded I mean, assuming she was drawing 20 feet 3 inches, she might have gone down another foot, viz., 21 feet 3 inches, with safety. If I had been sent by Lloyd's to have sur veyed this ship on her winter passage to Australia, I should have certified her if she had been drawing 21 feet 3 inches amidships. Mr. Samuel Smith said—l am shipwright foreman to Messrs. Wigrarn, and have been in their employment seven years. Altogether I have been engaged in ship- . building for more than 20 years. I have superintended the building, docking, and repairing several iron ships. I re ceived instructions when the London was commenced not to allow any bad workmanship in her construction. ' Any improvements I could recommend that would increase , the strength of the vessel would have been adopted —expense was out of the question. The ship was built in accordance with Lloyd's rules in every respect. The surveyor from Lloyd's, when ho attended to examine the ship, said her strength exceeded Lloyd's rules, and he complimented me on the circumstance. I examined the London in dry dock last December, previous to her last voyage, both inside and out, and could not find any leakage, or tendency to weakness throughout the vessel. By Capt. Baker—Her loaded draught of water was 20 feet 9 inches. When she was docked without cargo she drew 15 feet 3 inches. Mr. Thomas Harcling—l am foreman to the Messrs. Humphries and Tennant, of Deptford, the makers of the engines of the London. I had charge of filling the under water work of tue ship while she was on the slip —that is to say, the boring out the stern for the screw shaft. I had charge of the engines after Maxwell had superintended their erection. I went out in the London on her first voyage. I never saw a pair of engines work better. I had orly to stop them, out and home, for 15 minutes, for adjustment. The voyage was to Australia and back. PreN:ous to her last voyage I inspected her en glues, and found them in most perfect condition. I went on board the London on her last voyage as far as PI3 mouth. I was sent by Mr. Humphries to see how the engines worked, and whether they could be improved upon. They worked well ; in fact, they could not work better. There wore pumps on board the London capable in all of lifting 4,350 gallons per minute. Mr. Traill—Was there anything the matter with the engines that caused you to go to Plymouth with the ship ? Witness—No. I had business at Pembroke, and that induced me to go as far as Plymouth in the London. There was no suspicion as to the engines. Mr. Isaac Cole—l am a ship rigger. I rigged the Lon don in the best manner with galvanised wire rope. The lower and topsail yards were of iron—topgallant and royal yards were of wood. The running raggin g was of the best hemp rope. All was of the best quality. Thomas North, foreman mast-maker and boat-builder to Messrs. Wigram, said—The lower masts of the London were made of four plates with internal angle irons, all of the best Lowmoor plates, and that he considered iron masts stronger than wooden ones. She was not masted out of proportion to her size. Captain James Lean, emigration officer to the port of London, said—lt is part of my duty to see that the re quirements of the Passengers' Act are complied with in all passenger ships going to sea. It is my duty to look to the seaworthiness of the ship, the arrangement and size of the berths, hospital ar:•angements, also as to light and ventila tion. The London, I considered, perfect as regarded the Passengers' Act. The regulation of the act with respect to boats was also complied with. She was 1,428 tons re gister. She was bound to carey six boats. She had seven aboard, in fact more than the number required by the act for her tonnage. The act mentions one lifeboat, but the London had two. The boats of the London I considered to be very fine ones, both as to size and construction. She had the means of signallrng also one standard, and four or five steering compasses. She had fire engines and other moans of extinguishing fire on board. She had also five chronometers and three barometers and tarpaulings. She had all the requisites of the 7th section of the act. Her crew was an excellent ono. There were about a dozen or 15 foreigners amongst them. I had no hesitation in giving the necessary certificate to enable the captain to got his clearance. Mr. Traill—Do you consider it necessary that there should be a sufficient number of boats on board a ship to carry all the passengers ? Captain Lean—That is not required. A ship could scarcely carry boats sufficient to carry all her passengers, supposing she had her complement. Mr. O'Dowd—When did you last see the London ? Captain Lean—l last saw her at Gravesend. I did not consider her too low in the water. I consider she had 8 feet of free board amidships, which is the lowest part. The glass in the skylights of the London was two inches thick. The London is the first steamship that I have cleared under the Passengers Act for Australia. g Capt. Baker—Did it occur to you that there were any de ficiencies on board the London ? Capt. Lean—lt did not. From what I have heard during this inquiry, I now think it would be improper to allow any vessel to go to sea without proper appliances for bat tening down all the hatchways. Capt. Harris—ln what way would you suggest ? Capt. Lean—l cannot say off-hand ;it requires consi deration. Capt. Harris—We know there were nails and tarpaulins, but what other means would you suggest ? Capt. Lean—l cannot say just at the moment. Mr. Traill—Did you notice when you last saw the ship whether she had any coal on her deck ? Capt. Lean - She had 50 tons in bags unsecured on the upper deck. The bags were, however, stowed in such a way that I did not think any other security was required- I saw no other stores on deck. Knowing the consumption of the coal per diem, and that the ship was going to Ply mouth, I did not object to coal being on deck. I saw the ship the day she left. It was on the 30th of December. Captain Harris—Does the examination of the sails come under your cognisance ? Captain Lean—Yes. I see she had two suits of sails. Captain Harris—Would it not be a part of your duty to see the sails ? Captain Lean—l've a list which ha■ been handed me. Captain Harris—But can you say whether there was a storm trysail, or storm staysails ? Captain Lean—No, I cannot. Captain Harris—But is it not a part of 3 our duty to see that the proper sails aro aboard ? Captain Lean—l was told there were two sets of sails on board, and we must have a little confidence in the asser tions of respectable shipowners. Mr. Traill—Oh, no, no. We must have no confidence. Captain Lean—l did not examine the two suits of sails. Captain Harris—You aro responsible you know for public life and safety ; is it not, therefore, part of your duty to look after the sails of the ship ? Captain Lean—l was informed there were two suits aboard, one above and one below. Captain Harris—That may be, and yet one of the suits might be of such a character as to be quite unfit for a ship going to Australia. You did not then look particu larly after the sails. Captain Lean—No, I did not. I have, however, a list of the sails on board now in my hand. Captain Harris—Where did you get it from? Captain Lean—l wrote to the Messrs. Wigram for it, and it was immediately furnished to me by them. Captain Harris—When was that ; before the ship sailed? • Captain Lean—No ; on Saturday last. Maxwell, the foreman of engineers, gave evidence as to the excellence and efficiency of the engines. The pumps, he said, were of groat power. She could 4,000 gallons of water par minute. The inquiry was hero adjourned till to-morrow. It would but be consonant with common humanity if some steps wore taken to provide the surviving portion of the crew of the London, summoned as witnesses, with a proper place of shelter during the inquiry, in preference to allowing the poor fellows to hang about the outside of the court in the cold and rain, some of whom have not even a penny to buy a mouthful of bread, and having in the early part of the morning many miles to walk to attend the investigation. In this matter, what is everybody's . business seems to be nobody's business. 1 'his Day. LAW INT, SHARE ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share' Railways. I p a i d. l Closing i Business Price. done.

(Sittings in Banco, befoye the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Blackburn.) LANDORy. THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. ;In this case the plaintiff had been employed by the British Consulate in different capacities at Paris, and had also opened an office at Agar street, Strand, for the purpose of making inquiries relative to persons residing in this country who obtained goods from foreigners. The plaintiff was one of the passengers in the company's packet trian from Dover when the accident occurred to the train near Staplehurst, by which he had been laid up for a considerable time, and from the effects of which he was still suffering. He estimated his income at a large amount, but on cross-examination it appeared that the average was in excess of what he was able to prove ; but the jury assessed the damages at £1,500. _ _ Mr: Sergeant Ballantine, on the part of the defendants, obtained a rule nisi, calling on the plaintiff to s h ow cause w h y t h ere s h ou ld not be a new trial on the ground of excessive damages. Mr. Murphy was heard this morning against the rule, and at the conclusion of the learned gentle man's arguments, The Lord Chief Justice said there was no doubt the plaintiff had a right to substantial damages, both for the injuries and the pecuniary loss he had sustained, but he considered the damages were too large, and ho suggested th a t h e s hould accept £l,OOO. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine agreed on the part of the company to pay that amount. Mr. Murphy was also willing to adopt the sug gestion of the court, and it was agreed that there should be a rule for a new trial unless the plaintiff accepted the £l,OOO. POLICE,INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. THE CHARGE OF CAUSING THE DEATH OF A MAN —Charles Fisher, cab driver, charged with causing the death of a man, by knocking him down with horse and cab, again appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, having been out on bail since last week. The evidence showed that the deceased, while in a state of intoxication, staggered from between the cabs on the stand in Tottenham -court-road, when he was knocked down by accused's horse and cab, and afterwards taken by police-constable Nichols, 89 E, to the University Hospital, where he shortly afterwards expireed. Niohols now informed the magistrate that an inquest had been held, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was glad the jury had taken the view of the matter that he had. He felt from the first that it was an accident. He should, there fore, discharge the accursed. He considered the constable had acted very properly in the matter. ROBBERY AT THE MARLBOROUGH CLUB.—RUF FIANLY ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.--John Donovan and Margaret Donovan were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing two silk umbrellas of the value of £2 from the Marlborough Club, Grafton street, Bond-street, and the male prisoner was also charged with assaulting police-constable Wm. Gane, 25 C. George Packham, the head waiter at the club, said that he was coming out of the coffee-room on the previous night about half-past 11 he saw the priso ner take two umbrellas from the corner of the hall and go out of the door. He went out, and saw the male prisoner giving them to the female prisoner. He then took hold of the male prisoner, when the female gave him back the umbrellas and walked away. He held the man till the police came up, notwithstanding his struggles to get away, and gave gave him into custody. The umbrellas belonged to a member ofthe club and his friend. Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, proved going to the club-house, in consequence of hearing cries of cries of " Police," and seeing the last witness and the male prisoner struggling together. Having ascertained that a female had been with the man he went after her, handing the man over to a constable. On his return with the female the man threw the constable on his back, and tried to bite him in a certain part of his person, and became very violent, seizing the railings and kicking and trying to bite. He had known the male prisoner from a boy, and he had been several times convicted. Wm. Cane, 35 C, said the male prisoner twice threw him and tried to bite him as described by the sergeant. The language made use of by the male prisoner was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners. BRITISH P 100 Atlantic& St. Lawrence a. st Bom., Baroda, & Cen.ln. 10 ( gm 5 percent... 20 Do.

DOUBTFUL CHARGE.—SamueI Caudland, a young man said to be well known to the police, was charged on suspicion with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. James Richard Naylor, an officer of the Crown Office of the House of Lords, in the Court of Exchequer on the previous day. The prosecutor said—l live at Islington. I was in the Court of Exchequer yesterday afternoon. The prisoner was in front of me. An argument between Mr. Bovill and the Lord Chief Baron created some amusement, and as it took my atten tion I felt a tug at my watch chain, and immedi ately I missed my gold watch. The prisoner at that moment bolted from the court, and I fol lowed him. As I passed some curtains just outside the court I missed the prisoner, and in looking for him found him rolled up as it were in the curtain. I seized him, and said I thought he had got my watch ; he denied it, and then two con stables came, and they went to the address he gave, and also to where he said he was going for work. Cross-examined by the prisoner—l was not per suaded to charge you by the police. Twenty mi nutes elapsed before 1 gave you in custody. I wanted to know your character. W. Terrill, 590 A, proved that prisoner gave the right address. James Jones, 125 A, proved that he went to where prisoner said he was going to work, and found the person he mentioned had lived at the house, bu' had left. Prisoner said the prosecutor did not wish to charge him, but when he had been long persuaded by the police, and they knew he had been in trouble before then, and that after a lapse of an hour was he charged. The watch was not found, although the place had been searched. Detective Sergeant Costhorpe wished to prove the prisoner's former bad character, but Mr. Arnold remanded him till Wednesday.

The re-examination of Mr. John Permewan, surgeon, of Redruth, charged with the forgeries and frauds connected with mining shares, took place yesterday at 2 o'clock before the Lord Mayor. The prisoner was brought up in custody of detective officer Spittle, was remarkably self-possessed, and during the protracted inquiry made repeated sugges tions to Mr. G, H. Lewis, his legal adviser. Mr. Wontner, sen., said that he now desired to open another charge against the prisoner —that of defrauding Mr. Locock Webb, who traded under the firm of Webb and Co., of the sum of £llBlos., by passing himself off as being a person of the name of Wm. Bullen, and by imposing on Mr. Webb five shares in a mining stock which had been trans ferred from the genuine owner to the supposed Bullen by means of a forged transfer. As his lord ship was already familiar with the facts he (Mr. Wontner) should not enter into any preliminary statement, but would content himself with calling the witnesses to support this charge. Mr. John Michell was the first witness called, and proved that he resided at Redruth, and was the purser or secretary of the Wbeal Buller Mine, and that on the 10th October last he received the trans fer of five shares in that mine, purporting to be executed by Mr. Arthur W. Harris, of Old Broad street, City, to " Wm. Bullen, Esq., Royal Hotel, Plymouth." The witness registered the transfer in the usual way, and forwarded the certificate of re gistration to Mr. Bullen, at the Royal Hotel, Ply mouth. On the 14th October the witness received another transfer, purporting to be from Bullen to Webb and Co., of London. Off both forms of trans fer the name of the printer, Tregaskis, of Redruth, had been cut off. Mr. Arthur Wellesley Harris was next called, and proved that the first transfer produced in this case was not signed by him, but was a forgery. He knew nothing of any person of the name of Bullen, or of Jay, whose name appeared to the transfer as the attesting witness. Mr. Wm. Locock Webb was next called, and proved that he was a stock and share broker at No. 8, Finch-lane, under the firm of Webb and Co. On the 12th October last he received a letter signed Wm. Bullen, enclosing the transfer in question, and requesting him to sell the five shares to the best ad vantage, and to remit the proceeds to the writer (deducting the commission), at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. The witness sold the shares, and for warded, as directed, his cheque for £llB 10s., and on the 19th October he received a letter acknow ledging the receipt of the cheque. Mr. G. F. Youlton was the next witness, and proved that he was one of the cashiers at Messrs. Hodges and Co.'s Bank at Devonport. On the 18th October the cheque produced (that sent by the last witness) was presented at the bank by the prisoner now at the bar. He was told that it was not cus tomary to give cash to a stranger unless it was en dorsed by some respectable person with whom the bank officials were acquainted, and the prisoner was told that without this he could not have the cash for the cheque until they were advised from London. The prisoner seemed annoyed at this delay, which would be for four or five days, and in hoe c . ,L o a n on s n e dd q o u tno e n b l c ae e nt k h he e i rms u , i‘h d ia e ev r s t es or the money oa w rn r te i sy t , e La e nd s b p ab e yo e cioakrl yttand Co o before the usual time. On the 21st October, the ht p ho r e i s n ooaundrev advice (lc again he a eb i n ewi nag p s r tde tp s ha e ai n dt et the the eh cheque ms elf at the bank, ' and amount, should lB i b o e s duly on signing another cheque for that amount, which the prisoner did in the witness's presence, in the name of William Buller. He also endorsed the cheque of Mr. Webb in the same way. He was certain as to the identity of the prisoner. Mr. Wontner said that this was as far as he could go that day, and asked for a further remand to com plete the case prosecuted on the first examination by Mr. King. After some conversation between Mr. Wontner and Mr. Lewis, in which the Lord Mayor took part, the prisoner was remanded until Monday next. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
