T N v MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IL TET•LIGENCS. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is becoming extremely easy through the excessive, supplies of floating capital, now daily increased by the distribution of the Government dividends. At the same time the re quirements of the commercial community appear for the moment to be gradually diminishing, and the rates consequently tend downwards. First class trade bills are negotiable at 4 i f and 4+ per cent., and bankers very short-dated acceptances at 38 and 4 per cent. The liquidation of the bi-monthly account at the Stock Exchange will be conclndcd this evening, and the arrangements have generally imparted firmness to quotations. Some of the railway shares and foreign stocks which were lately much depressed through speculative sales have been in request, and having to be repurchased, have consequently im proved in value. The English Funds are rather dull this morning, Consols being 891 for money, and 891 for the account. It is generally considered probdole that within a short time we shall experience an effiux, of the precious metals. The rise in the price of cotton is occasioning a hardening tendency in the rates for Silver, and it is not unlikely that in a day or two a demand may arise for this metal for shipment to India. Meanwhile those parties directly connected with the Eastern trade are awaiting the result of the fortnightly biddings which take place at the Bank of England to-morrow. A withdrawal of £BO,OOO in sovereigns took place yesterday at the bullion office of the Bank of Eng land. This amount is required for shipment to Alexandria to pay for cotton. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £5Bl 3s. 9d., on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. This day has been issued a facetious pamphlet, the title of which is ‘, Managers and Marionettes. Addressed to Directors, Mis-Directors, and Dupes. By a Victim." it is published by Effiingham Wilson, Royal Exehange. It is announced that Mr. T. R. Holmes, who has been upwards of 40 years with Messrs. Overeni, Gurney, and Co., has commenced business as a bill broker, in conjunction with Mr. Rees Wood, at 48, Threadneedle-street. An important advance in the quotations of the Venezuelan Loan has taken place in consequence of the following communication by the Government at Caracas, intimating that the portion of the duties appropriated for this debt will be again remitted : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is with much pleasure that I acquaint you, for the satisfaction of those of your readers who are interested in the Venezuelan Loan of 1864, that I have this day re ceived official information from Caracas to the effect that the disturbances of the public peace in the state of Zamora, "which had compelled the Government to raise a numerous army, and also for a time to consecrate to the re-establish ment of peace all the duties set apart for the fiscal debt, bad entirely ceased, and with it the necessity for further interfering with the export duties after the end of October, and that from November 1 they would be remitted as pre viously to meet the claims of the bondholders of 1864 Loan. Venezuela is now entirely at peace at home and abroad. FREDIC. H. HEMMING, Consul. 25, l loorgate-street, Oct. 15. The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received advices from their resident director, R. H. Bland, Esq., dated °lu ne; August 21st, 1866.

THE " RED, WHITE, AND BLUE."—Capt. J. M. Hudson, of the little ship "Red, White and Blue," now on exhibition at the Crystal Palace, has received a letter bearing nine signatures, dated from " 88, South-street, New York, October 2nd," in which the signataries con gratulate him and his mate, F. E. Fitch, on their success ful passage across the Atlantic in the miniature vessel. Enclosed in the letter was tho following "extract from the log of the barque Jessie, Captain Winslow, who says on the day mentioned in the extract he saw 20 other sail" also with his glass. "Passed, 20th July, 1866, the Red White, and Blue, bound oast, lat. 41.10, long. 65.—8. Winslow, master barque Jessie." SUICIDE BY VERMIN POWDER.—An inquest was held at Freemantle, near Southampton, on Satur day, on the body of an aged maiden lady named Stodart. It appeared that deceased was a lunatic, and had been for some years in the care of a parson named Potringer, but she was allowed to attend to small household matters. On Thursday morning deceased was seized with spasms, and Upon a doctor being called in he at once said she was suf fering all the symptoms of poisoning by strychnine. An tidotes were offered, but deceased refused them all, and admitted having taken some of the contents of a packet of vermin powder. She died in about two hours. A verdict of suicide in an unsclund state of mind was returned. T E SUN, LOND(Th, T ESD AY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1860. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—This Day. (Before the Assistant Judge.) EN.TENSIVE ROBBERY BY A FOREWOMAN. Hortense Delange and Jules Delange were indicted for stealing a large quantity of lace, silk, and other articles, the property of Louis Feuillet, of the value of £4OO. The female prisoner was in the employ of the prOsecubr, whose wife carried on an extensive dressmaking business at the West-end. She received £2 per week, exclusive of her board, and as she had charge of all the articles required in the business the utmost reliance was reposed in her. The gradual disappearance of property led to a watch being kept, and it was then discovered that she was in the habit of meeting the male prisoner every evening, and it is supposed that he then took the articles from her and either sold or pawned them, and lived on the proceeds. , Ile followed no occupation, but lived entirely upon the exertions' of the woman, to whom he had been married nine years. A verdict of guilty was entered. The Assistant-Judge inquired how much of the stolen property had been recovered ? The officer said about £5O or £6O worth. _ _ . The prosecutor asked that the prisoners might be put back in order that some information might be obtained about the missing property. The male prisoner said it was no use to do that, as all that they had got or even knew about the property was in the possession of the police. The Assistant-Judge said that being the case delay was useless. He thought it a most scandalous robbery, consi dering the wages the female was receiving from the pro secutor. He had no doubt she had been instigated to commit the robbery by the male prisoner, said he was not sure whether he ought not to sentence both to penal ser vitude for a long' term. However:he should not pursue that course, but sentenced both prisoners to be kept in prison with hard labour for two years. The property pro duced by the pawnbroker would of course have to be re turned to the prosecutrix. Henry Spencer pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a coat. When he was placed in the dock he commenced laughing at the judge in a most im pudent manner. In answer to questions from the learned judge, Lockyer said the prisoner had been nine or ten times in custody. The Assistant-Judge remarked that he did not appear to be of sane ,mind. Lockyer said he always appeared to be right enough when he was in prison. He.had picked his oakum and worked on the treadmill like a 1 the other prisoners, and but a short time ago he met him in the city ono day clothed in rags, and the next day quite respectable. On that occa sion he told him (Lockyer) that he must keep out of his way, or he would give him "the boot." The Assistant -Judge thought he had better be seen by the medical officer of the prison, as he did not seem quite of right mind. Lockyer, in reply, informed the judge that he attributed the prisoner's levity to his extreme impudence, and nothing more. The prisoner was then removed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET SAD CASE.—A BOY PROBABLY BLINDED.—Joseph Ford, a bricklayer's labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following assault on a boy about seven years of age, named James Allen, residing at No. 6, Wells-build ings, Wells-street, Oxford-street. The little complainant, who was led into Court, his eyes being covered with a bandage, said that he was looking down the area railings of a house in Rebecca-court, Wells street, when ho saw a man down the area lime-washing the place. The man t ook u p his brush and threw some of th couldelime-w no a t seshie.nto his face, and his eyes were injured and he Clara Cunningham, a young woman, said she heard a scream, and saw the complainant in great agony. He said the prisoner had thrown some lime-wash into his eyes. She asked the prisoner if he knew what he had done, tell ing him that he had nearly blinded the boy ; and he said that it served the young vagabond right if he was blinded, as the boy had thrown a piece of glass at him, and that it almost touched his head. She bathed the child's eyes, and the father of complainant gave the prisoner into custody. The complainant said that he did not throw any glass at the prisoner. Police-constable 176 E said he took the boy to the Mid dlesex Hospital, where the surgeon said his eyes were badly injured. The prisoner said he was very sorry he had injured the boy. He had no intention of doing so, and merely shook his whitewash brush at him to get rid of him, as he had greatly annoyed him. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, and told the con stable to produce a certificate from the hospital next week as to the state of the boy's eyes. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.)

The idea was started by General Fleury, who considered that the breed of horses coachmen, grooms, &c., would never make any serious progress in France so long as men were not properly trained them.to " m d a ip n l a o g m eas,,which henceforth He therefore are ore to b inauguratede distributed asyetem o to oachmen, certifying their qualifications and length of apprentice.. ship, as well as the names of the trainers under whose teaching they have learnt their business. NEWMARKET. The fogs have been so dense here of late that exercise has necessarily been delayed until late each day, and no thing very particular was done in consequence. Trainers, however, are now obliged to persevere in their work, as the Houghton meeting is at hand, and the Cambridgeshire, Criterion, Glasgow, and Troy Stakes horses must be got fit for their engagements. Anibition galloped a mile and a half at a rare pace this morning, but does not seem to go firm in the market. Ostreger led Actaaa a mile and three quarters steadily. Sacharometer was walking. Brootnie law trotted, but Breadalbane and Out and Outer galloped a mile and a quarter fast. Saladin and Godmersham did very little. Peeress galloped a mile and three-quarters.

The Rake was in physic. Janitor has left here. Satyr, Sunny ocks, Star of India, Bombastes, Jasper, Janue, Julius, and Pericles were in mile work. Hippie.' galloped with Falken stein. Chepstow was looking and going uncommonly well, doing his mile and a half most satisfactorily, as did Caithness. Regalia galloped by herself. Peter Price is getting Stradbroke forward, but he is not of Derby quality. King Charming was schooling Rus in Urbo and Blackthorn ; and Godding attended well to Python, the Amanda colt, Edgbaston, and Nutbourne Lad. The French-bred Floranthe sweated. Plutus was follow ing Gladiateur, and the latter appears to be getting into his old form. Marmite was out with Emigrant and Gas, but they exercised moderately. The Duke of York was spinning along ; and we also noted Breeze, Greyfoot, Loughrea, Friday, Chapel Royal, Othello, Qui Vive, Arte sian/Littleport, Novice, Cheltenham, Mazurka, Canard, Court Card, and several other Houghton horses in very fair work. We have now upwards of six hundred animals in our trainers' hands, including a most promising lot of yearlings. • MALT ON. Taraban is being got ready for the Criterion Stakes. He had a nice sweat with some others of John Scott's dur ing Saturday, and looks splendid. To-day he did over a mile very fast. Knight of the Crescent and Westwick cantered a mile twice, and then did long walking exercise. Klarinska and Amazon were very active. Treasure Trove is doing plenty, but the Lion walking only. Mushroom, Ploughboy, Skysail, and Queen Ellis went a mile and a half steadily. Skylark and Musa bowled along first rate. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INr2ELLIGENOE. — This Day.

THAMES. As ACCOMPLISHED RUFFIAN.—John M'Donald, aged 20, and described as a labourer, of No. 3, Devonshire-place, King-street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Alfred Reed, a police constable 97 K, and Henry Philpot 168 K. . . . It appeared that the prisoner had wantonly, and with out provocation, assaulted a respectable man and his wife, in Emmett-street, Poplar, and they appealed to Reed for protection. He saw that the man who was assaulted was bleeding, and the woman was crying, and asked why she should be struck by a ruffian in the public street. Reed immediately took the villain into custody, and was leading him away to the station-house when he struck him and tripped him up. A severe struggle took place, in the midst of which Philpot came up, and the prisoner turned round upon him and knocked him down, and when down ki c k e d him. Philpot got up, and the pri soner, who used diab o lical language, made a kick at the lower part of his p erson , which partially took effect, and hurt him very much. A terrible struggle occurred, and the prisoner was eventually subdued and taken to the sta tion-house. It was proved that the prisoner had been in custody several times and convicted for assaults, drunken ness, and disorderly conduct. Mr. Paget commented on the savage and malicious con duct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to three months' impriso'nment and hard labour —one month for the assault on Reed, and two months for the assault on Philpot. Con stables had difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and must be protected. ANOTHER SAVAGE OUTRAGE ON POLICE CONSTABLES. — Thomas Clark, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget on a charge of assaulting Richard Walter and Thomas Cliff, constables of the K division, in the execution of their duty. This morning, at two o'clock, the prisoner was making a disturbance in Salmon-lane, Limehouse, and abusing a person there. He was requested by Walter to go in doors and not make a noise. He threw a quart pewter pot at his head. It fortunately missed hitn. Cliff arrived directly afterwards and attempted to secure him, and the prisoner got away from him, rushed into his house, and returned into the street directly afterwards with a soda water bottle filled with pickles iu his hand, with which he struck Cliff on the helmet. The blow fell on the peak of the helmet and touched his no se , b u t did not injure it. T h e b o t tle was broken into many pieces. Thomas Melrose, a working man, of No. 9, North-street, Limehouse, confirmed the statement of the policeman. Mr. Paget said that, fortunately for the prisoner, the blow inflicted with the bottle was not attended with the consequences which could be expected from so savage an assault. It was a case, however, deserving of severe punishment. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Walter and two months and hard labour for the assault on Cliff, in all three months' imprisonment. CORONER'S INQUEST, FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. LOWE, ONE OF THE ADAPTERS OF THE SCREW PROPELLER. Last night Mr. W. Payne, the City and South wark coroner, held an inquest in the Board-room of Guy's Hospital on the body of James Lowe, aged 68 years. Joseph Seacrer, of 41, Lant-street, Borough, said that about leo'clock on Friday night he was cross ing Horseinonger-lane from the Newington-cause way when he saw a horse and cart coming across from the Borough-road at about six miles an hour. He also saw a gentleman crossing the lane with a small hamper in his hand. When the deceased got about the middle of the road he was knocked down by the horse and trampled upon by its feet. The horse and cart went on about 20 yards. Deceased was picked up and taken away. William Shane, of 17, Newington-causeway, said that the deceased came up to him before the accident occurred, and said, " What are you doing standing there—do you want to break into that place, or are you trying the shutters ?" I told him that I lived there. He went away and I went with him to the corner of the lane. He went to cross and tried to run back, and was run over by a heavy laden sheepskin cart. When he was knocked down his head lay towards the horse. Charles Smitb, 57, St. George's-road, Southwark, said that he was about 20 yards down the lane where the acci dent happened when ho heard some one hollow out " Stop, stop," but the driver had then passed over tho deceased. Police-constable 266 M said that he was on duty in the Borough-road, when he heard the screams of a female, and went to the spot. He saw the deceased lying in the road, and took the carman, whose name is William Scott, and brought a stretcher, and we took the deceased to the hospital. Mr. John Humphreys, house-surgeon of Guy's Hospital, said that the deceased was brought into the hospital on Friday night, at about 11 o'clock. Ho had a compound fracture of the left leg and his right side loin, and he had received several other injuries. He was quite dead when he was brought in. The Coroner having summed up the evidence at great length, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The prisoner, whose name is William Scott, is still in custody of the police, and will be brought before Mr. Bur -1 chain , at Southwark Police-court, on Fzida•y next. HAMILTON STAKES.

THE ACTION AGAINST SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.-PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. Yesterday afternoon, at this Court, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., accompanied by Mr. 0. Freshfield, of the firm of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., bank solicitors, attended in order to make a statement in reference to the report which appeared in the newspapers on Saturday. Mr. Osgood (registrar of the Court), explained to 3fr. F. Gibbons (the deputy judge), the circumstances under which the matter came before the Court. He said that on the day of trial the plaintiff attended at the stated that the goods claimed had been supplied to Sir Robert Peel, upon which his honour tin the absence of any defence), found a verdict for the plaintiff in the usual manner. He might add that the summons had been served through the officials at the Westminster County Court, and was duly delivered to a man at the residence of the right hon. baronet, ::::::::::: ° : s s . e until he read, to Mr. Freshfield said that he now attended as the profes sional adviser of Sir Robert Peel to procure a new trial and set aside the judgment already obtained by the plaintiff. aston i s hment, a report n eis d . oef r elid hise, Sir Robert Peel kne w no thin g his great withinh Peel een 0 v b te e hr i enl overlooked, es on 2 the ' and b e (.111r. Freshfield) confessed that it wax difficult to noeovdser, nor given grdiveonf atnhyeapultahionrtiitffy, fnorosruehhadg 1 g understand how the plaintiff could have proved his case.

The' affidavit was handed i n t o t h e registrar. His Honour said he had not presided at the trial, and was therefore not acquainted with the facts. Of course it was open to defendant to set aside the judgment by moving for a new trial, but the necessary notice must be given to the plaintiff. In cases where there was no defence offered, the Court did not go so fully into matters as in . contested trials. Sir Robert Peel begged to assure his Honour that he knew nothing of either the plaintiff or his goods. He had never had any application made to him for the money, nor did he know anything about the summons until he saw the case in the papers. His Honour said it might be that some person had made a false representation in ordering the goods; but the course open to defendant was to apply for a new trial in the or dinary way. Mr. Freshfield said that Sir Robert was extremely de sirous to remove any false impression that the original re port of the case might have conveyed. He took the earliest opportunity of answering statements made as soon as they came under his notice. He would adopt the suggestion of his Honour, and take the necessary steps to move for a new trial. The parties then withdrew, and a notico will be served on the plaintiff in due course. Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day. The market opens very firm. Sales probably 20,000 bales or more.
