h ir ONEY AND COMMEROI L INTELMGENCX. TWELVE 'CLOCK. There is some uneas i ness in commercial circles relative to alleged embarrassments in connection with the .China trade, and the sooner they are made known the better, as the suspense created by vague rumour is inimical to the interests of good and really substantial houses. Assuming for the moment that one or two firms are im difficulties, the suppression O f idle gossip and inquisitive conversation may enable the parties involved to extricate them selves from what may happen to be merely tempo rary pressure upon their resources. The discount market is very easy, q u otations. at previous The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr. George Scott, of Broad-court, Walbrook, official liquidator for winding up the Freehold Land and Brickmaking Company (Limited). It is stated that the Hon. G. F. Verdon, treasurer to the Victorian Government, has arranged to re turn to Melbourne by the mail of the 26th instant, having brought to a successful issue his mission to this country in connection with the Victorian Loan, Colonial defence, telegraphic communication, &c. The report of the committee of investigation ap- Pointed by the shareholders of the Eastern Assam Company shows that the most material statements in the prospectus were without foundation in truth, and that some were complete misrepresentations. At the m eet i ng yesterday the report was adopted, and the directors were authorised to take such steps as counsel may advise. At the meeting of the smaller creditors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank the resolutions agreed to by the larger creditors were unanimously adopted. Gold to the amount of £lO,OOO was taken to the Rank of Bugland yesterday, and a further sum is expected to be received there to-day. Messrs. W. H. Smith, Barry, and Co., of the Now gong, Upper Assam, and other companies, is not, and never has been, in any way connected with their firm or with any of the companies with which they are officially connected. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £671 9s. 4d., on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. An announcement has been made by the direc tors of the Continental Union Gas Company that they are prepared to receive applications for 4,951 Preference shares, of £2O each, at present unallotted. These shares bear a 7 per cent. preferential dividend, and a further right of participation in all profits after the or di nary shares have received 10 per cent. 'iley will beissued as fully paid up, or by four instalments of £5 at intervals of two months. The allotment will be made according to priority of ap- Plication. A mong the directors are Mr. Lewis Cubitt, Mr. W. S. Fawcett, and others. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram this morning the French Rentes were 69 25. The Money Market has closed quietly, the rates and the extent of demand remaining about the same. S ince the date of the last Gazette return the quantity of gold taken into the Bank of England has been £150,800, and .the withdrawals £85,000. 11:0-days operations are not yet known, but it is 'nought that the weekly statement to-morrow will : 11(3 w . another increase in the bullion and other favourable changes.

Lewis and Stockwell, Blackwall, the iron screw steamer Eridano, built for Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, the eminent opticians, of Hatton-garden, &c. The Eridano is a fine screw of 400 tons, and is to be fitted with a pair of direct acting screw engines of 120 horse power, by Messrs. J. and A. Blyth, of Limehouse. At three o'clock precisely the dog-shores were knocked away, and the Eridano glided gracefully into the water, amid the cheers of the spectators. The vessel and engines have been constructedunder the superintendence of T. C. Hyde, Esq., and the Eridano, when completed, is to be commanded by Captain Nicola. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE—This Day. This morning, at a few minutes before 5 o'clock, a terrific fire, nearly attended with great loss of life, happened in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. T. E. Cobner, No. 112, Bermondsey, New-road. The premises were used as a linen-draper's stores, and the upper portion was occupied as sleeping-rooms. The fire was discovered by Police-constable 214 of the M division, who at once raised an alarm and sent off for proper assistance, and in the course of afew minutes Conductor Butterworth attended with the Royal Society's escape, when he saw the fire coming out of the windows and the door of the shop. He at once placed his escape in front of the building and tried to gain an entrance at the first floor window, hearing that people were in the house asleep. He found the fire coming through the floor, and being unable to enter he went to the next house belonging to Mr. Greaves, a hairdresser, and made his way for the back window, and although the fire was rapidly extending beneath, the owner of the premises suc ceeded in passing his wife out, and she was carried insen sible to a neighbouring coffee-house and put to bed. Police constables 214 and 217 materially assisted the conductor in handing the female over a dangerous wall. Mr. Cob ner was also assisted out by the conductor. Several land steamers by Sband, Mason, and Co., promptly attended, and, under the direction of Mr. Henley, the chief officer of the south district, the firemen went to work, but the flames by this period had obtained the complete possession of the whole of the premises, and were attacking with full vigour the premises of Mr. J. Turner, oilman, No. 111, Mr. Graves, hair dresser, No. 2 (opposite), Mr. E. Roberts, butcher, No. 3, Mr. J. Gill, chemist, No. 4, Mr. Verner, greengrocer, and No. 6, Mr. Davies, grocer. Owing to the vast quan tity of water thrown upon the fire the flames were even tually subdued, but the damage done is very considerable, and will fall upon the Sun, the Royal, and the Commercial Union fire offices. Sir H. Bulwer intends, says the Liberte, to re main for some time in Paris, where he is engaged in pre parin for publication an important work on politics. THE ACCIDENT TO THE REV. PROFESSOR SELWYN. —The bulletin issued by tho professor's medical attend ants on Tuesday morning was as follows:—" Professor Selwyn has again passed a good night, and the more serious symptoms are subsiding." Inquiry last evening elicited that the progress was still favourable. Tho most anxious inquiries as to the state of the professor were con tinued throughout yesterday, not only by members of the university and other friends in residence, but by a large number of both from a distance. THE BYRON NATIONAL MEMORIAL.--A meeting of the committee for raising a national memorial to Lord Byron was held on Monday in the Mayor's Parlour, Not tinbam—Mr. T. C. Hine in the chair. A number of replies from literary men and noblemen who had been asked to further tho movement were read. The feeling of tho meeting was that a bronze statue of the noble poet should be erected in one of the principal streets of Nottingham. The Dean of Westminster had been writtento respecting the memorial being placed in Westminster Abbey, but no answer has been received. THE METEORIC SHOWER.—Rain fell during Mon day night and continued almost without intermission dur ing the whole of yesterday forenoon, so that nothing was of course seen in London of the " meteoric shower." Those, however, who were on the look out (and they wero many), after 12 o'clock last night, can bear witness to the accuracy of the calculations of our astronomers ; for from that hour until four 4 o'clock, an extraordinary number of what are popularly called " shooting stars" wore to be seen travelling in space. BLUNDERING INTO A WRONG PROFESSlON.—Un fortunately the choice of a profession is about the last which can be managed safely by a young man who knows little or nothing of the world. Most of us drift, it may be, into our professions. Somebody who is in, the college boat is coming up to London to eat his term dinners in the Temple ; and, faute de mieux, Jenkins of Magdalene, whose chief notion about law is that lawyers wear wigs and that the successful ones are admirably paid, comes up to London too to accompany his fellow-oars man, eats his five o'clock dinner, and calls himself a bar rister. The fatal move is attended with lifelong conse quences. Possibly the bar turns out to be the very voca tion for which Jenkins was designed by nature, and ho becomes, in turn and with much satisfaction to himself, a drudge, a bully, and a celebrity. But it is equally probable that the noble profession of the bar is not the thing for Jenkins. His soul is incapable of stooping to hard work in dingy chambers ; be misses the little professional chances which only fall to the lot of those humbler persons who lie in wait by day and night for them; leading cases pall on him ; points of practice puzzle him ; the success of still more incompetent noodles than himself, who are fortunate enough to possess cousins in the attorney lino, aggravates and exasperates him; and he becomes, accordingly, mor bid, idle, briefless, and hopeless, and divides his inglorious life between London drawing-rooms and his club. For all this he has to thank the one lazy instinct which brought him up to London 20 years ago, to eat law dinners, because some one else was coming up to eat them too. The punish ment seems a severe one ; and, in the eyes of an impartial judge, destiny appears to have kit Jenkins rather hard, simply for rushing at ono unhappy turning-point.—Satur day Review, YKEFIL'ItILNI 24 bLIA.K.ISI:I.

AND MASTERMAN'S BANK (LIMITED).—A meeting of creditors under £lOO was held at the London Tavern yesterday, when the chairman, Mr. Thompson, stated tho result of, the meeting of the day before, and said that, after the payment of the dividend of ss. in January next, it was proposed by the board, if the bank were re suscitated, to pay of the creditors under £lOO in full, and as soon as possible. The amount would not be consider able, averaging only about £3O each, or altogether about £160,000. A similar resolution to that passed by the larger creditors the previous day was at once agreed to, and the meeting:separated. STRANGE ACCIDENT AT TYNEMOUTH PIER.—TWO men, whilst walking along the pier on Monday, were sud denly struck by a strong wave breaking over the side and washed off their legs into the water. A heavy sea was running at the time, and the cries of distress by the unfor tunate mon attracted the attention of two foy-boatmen, who bravely put off to their assistance; and succeeded in bringing the half-drowned men ashore. AN EXTRAORDINARY CALF.— On Sunday after noon a fine cow, on the farm of Mr. Richard Harper, Red dish, near Stockport, was delivered of, perhaps, one of the most extraordinary calves ever born. It had two heads (one at each end of its body), two tails, seven legs, and eight feet It was calved by Messrs. J. WooHendon and F. Ousey, veterinary surgeons, Stockport, but was de stroyed before parturition was accomplished. It is now in the possession of Mr. Qusey, and will be preseryed. TvE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14 1360. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Mellor, Shoe, and Lush.) WOOD V. BARRON-IMPORTANT TO MASTERS AND MEN. In this case Wood, who is the Secretary of the United Order of Bricklayers, at Stockport, was convicted at the quarter sessions at Durham, for being guilty with others of combining, or threatening to combine, con trary to the provisions of the act of George the fourth relative to masters and workmen. It appeared that Mr. Barron was an extensive builder at Stockport, where he was carrying on some works. He had some apprentices which it seemed had given great offence to the bricklayers in the neighbourhood, and at a meeting . of the body at which Wood was present, resolutions were agreed to to the effect that they would not work fir Mr. Barron unless ho re duced the number of his apprentices, which he would not consent to 'do. It then appeared that the men were interrupted when they were going to work. The justices at the Quarter Sessions convicted Wood of an illegal act, and from that decision he now appealed to the Court. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., addressed the eourt at considerable length in support of the appellant, and contended that he had not been guilty of any illegal act whatever. Mr. Manisty, Q.C., appeared for the respondent, and argued that the proposed combination came within the meaning of the statute, and clearly amounted to a mis demeanour. The Lord Chief Justice, in the course of the argument, expressed his opinion that as there would be nothing illegal in one man determining not to work for another, there being more than ono i n this case did not constitute illegality. The Court quashed the conviction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW STREET. "No HOME."—A little boy of 12 years of age, but who did not appear to bo more than ten, owing to his extreme diminutiveness, was charged with stealing an iron pot, 'value lid., and selling it for a penny. Mrs. Payne, the prosecutrix, had given him in custody in the hope that something would be.done for the poor child, is his father was marriejl again and his stepmother neglected him. The magistrate committed the prisoder to an industrial school for three years, and ordered the father to pay ls. 6d. a week. THE ROYAL PLATES OF 1866. (Compiled exclusively for The Sun.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH THE Loss OF A WIFE. —Cohn Campbell, 56, a shoemaker, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with attempting to commit suicide, by taking a quantity of laudanum. John Campbell, son of the defendant, said that, hearing his father had taken laudanum, he went upstairs and found three empty bottles, and learnt his father had taken two three pennyworths of laudanum. In answer to Mr. Noakes, the chief clerk, the son stated that his father had been in a state of despondency since the death lately of his wife. Sergeant Allen, 20 0, said that, on asking the defendant' why he had taken poison, he replied, " I wanted to sleep so that I should wake no more." He understood the de fendant hul previously attempted to destroy himself by opening a vein in his arm. The defendant said he was sorry for what he had done. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendant for a week. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL AND 'UNPROVOKED AssAuLTs.—Joseph Murray, a tinker, was charged with assaulting James Ward, an envelope packer, and Charles Lake, a native of Maiden Newton, Dorsetshire. It appeared from the evidence of the two complainants that yesterday afternoon the prisoner, in his vocation of tinker, was mending a beer can, and thwy out of curiosity looked at him. He ordered Ward to move on, and while doing so struck him in the nose with the iron solderer he had in his hand. Ward then called out to Lake, asking him whether he had witnessed the assault. Lake said he had, and then the prisoner' struck him across the nose with something, cutting it severely. He laid hold of pri soner to give him into custody, when he attacked and threw him in the read, and was only separated from him by a constable. Clough, 281 A, further stated that in presence of the prisoner, several gentlemen said that the assault was brutal and unprovoked. Prisoner said they annoyed him, and showed fight to him, and he knocked them down. This was positively denied. Mr. Arnold said he believed the complainants, and not tho defendant ; the assaults were brutal and unprovoked, and he should commit prisoner for two months and hard labour for each assault. • TrlA3l.t]S. DANGEROUS • AND FURIOUS DIUYING IN A PUBLIC ROAD. —Frederick Bentley, a carter and driver is the service of Mr. Wright, a baker and wedding-cake maker in the Commercial-road, and endangering the lives and limbs of passengers. Thomas Barnes, a police-sergeant, No. 10 11, said he found the prisoner drunk and driving& van and two horses along the Whitechapel-road, near the Church, Yesterday evening between the hours of seven and eight o'clock. The prisoner was driving at a furious and reckless pace, and created much alarm. Several persons were nearly run over. The prisoner had been driving the horses and van up and down the road for his own amusement. Jobson Robson said he was driving a horse and cart along the Whitechapel-road, an d the prisoner drove against his cart three times, and asked him how he liked it. The side of the cart was brOken by these repeated collisions. The prisoner was not on the proper side of the road, and abused and swore at him. _ _ Mr. Paget said the prisoner's master could be sued for the damage done to the cart, and would most probably have to pay damages. The prisoner denied that he was drunk last night, and said his horses were very spirited ones. He called a wit ness named Robert Edward Stammers, who said he had a glass of ale with the prisoner,-who was sobar. Mr. Paget was quite satisfied the prisoner was ine briated, and that he was driving furiously. He sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 405., or be imprisoned 14 days. The penalty was paid. MARKETS.--This Day. MARK LANL. Coastwise and by land-carriage the arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to day from Essex and Kent were only moderate, and in but middling condition. As regards fine parcels the trade ruled firm, and Monday's advance was well supported, but for inferior qualities the demand was inactive. In foreign wheat the transactions were to a fair extent at fully late quotations. The show of samples was toler ably good. A fair average business was passing in floating cargoes of grain on form er terms. Fine barley was scarce and quite as dear as on Monday. Grinding and distilling sorts, although unaltered in value, met with little attention. Malt was firm in price, with a fair inquiry. Good and fine oats were in request at full prices; other wise, the trade was heavy. Both beans and peas were steady in value, and the de mand for them was firm: The quantity on offer was limited. Flour was firm on former terms. SKIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 950 1,160 720 520 Irish Foreign 65 - - 2,730 9,180 aks. 2,260 brls.

It was an nounced recently that the Royal Horticultural Society had decided not to hold its next meeting at Bury St. Edmunds as originally proposed. The decision appears, however, to have been reconsidered, 'since £3OO has been guaranteed locally to meet the expenses of the society's visit, while a piece of ground has been lent for the purpose by Mr. G. H Guy immediately opposite the spot to be occupied by the Royal Agricultural Society. The chrysanthemums in the orchard-house entrances to the gardens at South Kensing ton are fast approaching the greatest beauty, which indeed they will probably attain about the end of this week. There are also some fine orchids at present in flower in the hot house, western entrance. SIR JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY.—Sir John Villiers Shelley is considerably better. The state of the hon. baronet's health has lately caused very considerable anxiety, owing to the great severity with which he has been attacked by suppressed gout —the most dangerous form of that terrible infliction. Twico or thrice during the last three months he has been thus assailed, and recently for some days his life was in danger. Thanks, however, to an excellent and unimpaired constitution, Sir John was enabled to bear up, and we now learn that he is progress ing towards recovery as as can be expe'ted after such repeated and viols 3 Sussex Advertiser.

An extraordinary feat was performed on Monday even ing at Mr. Bott's, Eagle Tavern, Starch-green, by an amateur at the game of skittles. The feat, undertaken to decide a wager, was that the player ahould knock down sixty nines within the hour, coupled with the condition that he should set up the pins each time himself. The first was accomplished in less than 45 minutes, thus beating time by , more than a quarter of an hour. The performance created the greatest surprise, and in order to show the confidence the player has in his own power, he has undertaken to repeat the performance at the same place on Monday evening next, the time g iven on the occasion being 50 minutes. The player has backed himself to win, although bets have been freely laid in favour of old Father Time. NOTES .FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS, (THIS S TIRE WSBURY.

LTCEUII THEATRE.--Mrs. Boucicault being com pelled through indisposition to discontinue her appearance in " The Long Strike," a partial alteration has been made in the cast within the present week. The part of Jane Learoyd is now sustained by Miss Henrade, and the cor dial plaudits bestowed upon her first personation of the factory girl on Monday evening were deservedly evoked by a most creditable performance, marked with feeling, spirit, and intelligence. The part, too, of Johnny Reilly has been assigned to Mr. Reynolds, a genuine Eblanian, whose capital acting alike surprised and amused the au dience, and who is palpably possessed of special qualifica tions for shining in the Irish line of character. With two such efficient substitutes, and the masterly portraitures continued to be given by Messrs. Widdicomb, \ Emery ; and Fitzpatrick, the remaining representatives of " The Long Strike" are calculated to prove no less attractive than, they have been for the last two months, W.
