N TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market to-day is very firm, and the outside quotations are merely a fraction below the n ewly-arranged minimum of the Bank of England. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £13,000. The Bank of England return, completed to the 7th inst., shows some very favourable changes. The bullion has been increased by £168,010, while there s an augmentation in the reserve of notes of £423,485, and the other securities have been diminished by £748,467.

Dated 7th November, 1866." The suspension of Messrs. James Russell and Sons, of Wednesbury, has been announced. One o f the partners it is stated is a considerable share holder and director of the New Zealand Bank, which has sustained considerable losses, and the suspension is with a view to protect the general body of the creditors. The liabilities are said to amount to £40,000, and the assets to nearly UO,OOO, and there is every reason to believe that all the creditors will be paid in full. Sergeant Moss, of the City detective police, yes terday evening apprehended on a warrant James , reeling Wilkinson, late manager of the Joint- Stock Discount Company, charged with embezzle runt of two sums of £4,000 and £B6O. The Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls has assented to the application for an order expunging from the list of contributors to Barned's Banking Company certain persons who complained of frau dulent representations. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have not shown much anima tien• The public sales of tea have proceeded rather slowl y and prices in some instances are a shade lower. Sugax has been in moderate request, at t st eady rates. Large quotations of coffee have been °relight forward, and inferior descriptions have been sold at slightly reduced prices. In tallow the hdealingsave been moderately active, and quota- I vons have remained steady. A. list arranged in tabular form of all the London and provin c i a l news p a p e rs, inclusive of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Isles, has just been I ssued by Messrs. Vickers and Harrington, of C° wPer's-court, Cornhill. Therein appear the me wepolitan journals classified in alphabetical order, : 111c/ wing dates of publication, their political views denoted by initial letter, with year of establishment and price. Under the heading of the several coun ties (also alphabetically arranged) are the names of various papers published in each, their political , e , llde ncies, year of creation, day of publication, and Price. The population of each county according ‘ 0 the latest returns is affixed. It appears that the case on behalf of the Defence Association, in re 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., who ar e endeavouring to remove the names of certain shareholders from the list of contributories, has been , a g a in Postponed to-day, and it is not likely to be brought on for hearing until the 15th inst. The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway for the week ending the 16th September amounted t 0 £37,419 11s. 4d. ; and in the corresponding P e riod of the previous year they were £28,346 us. 7d., showing an increase of £9,073 ss. 9d. A meeting o f shareholders in the London and .1. tt editerranean Bank was convened to-day ; only or three proprietors attended, and the affair W eil a complete fiasco. The object was to appoint an Official liquidator. But the matter is before the , luster of the Rolls, and no doubt accountants and li quidators will, according to present fashion, derive the principal benefit of a defunct concern. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-day the French Rentes were 69f. Lord Mayor's day seems to have added to the dulness that has recently prevailed in the Stock Ex change; the absence of commissions, and the limited attendance of speculative dealers and of investors, having afforded a considerable number of clerks, as Well as principals, the opportunity of seeing a genuine London crowd. Nevertheless, a good and steady business has been transacted in the British Funds, because the public, after the severe losses sustained during the late crisis, look ing to Government securities instead of limited lia bility schemes, especially as confidence is reposed in the present Ministry, both as regards foreign poli tics and finance at home. While almost every other security has manifested weakness, Consols have risen per cent., namely, to 894 f for transfer, and (ex dividend) to 881 I for the 6th proximo. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced An nuities each remain firm at 871 ; and a dealing has been effected in the 30 years Annuities, due 1855, at 124 ; Bank Stock is steady at 246-7 ; Indian St ock, at 211; the 5 per Cent.

CONVICTION OF A TRADESMAN FOR ARSON.—At the criminal assizes in Jersey, on Monday, Elisha Ogier, formerly in business as a draper, was convicted on a charge of setting fire to his premises and wilfully destroying the same, with intent to defraud the Provincial Assurance Company. A fire broke out on the prisoner's premises between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning of June 19, at which time prisoner and his wife were seen on the top of the house (which had a fiat roof) cautiously looking over into the street. On the alarm being given they came down in a few minutes all dressed, the prisoner carrying some books and papers in his hand. The premises were totally destroyed, as were also the three adjoining shops and houses, one of which—that of Mr. Walker, chemist—with all its contents. The total loss of property was estimated at £12,000. The prisoner made a claim upon the Provincial office f0r.£4,100, which was resisted and a prosecution commenced. The trial lasted four days and ended in a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced tt seven years' imprisonment, TiiE SUN, 't LONLON, FRIDAY EVENS G, NOVEMBER 9,186 u.

To-day the annual civic procession went from Guildhall to Westminster-hall, where Alderman Gabriel, recently chosen Lord Mayor by the citizens of London for the en suing year, was presented to the Barons of the Exchequer with all the usual pomp and circumstance. The weather fortunately was propitious for the display, and thus the great number of persons who lined the route through which the cortege passed had the gratification of again witnessing " the Lord Mayor's Show" in all its glory. It did not, however, come up to the standard of the old sightseer ; they sighed at the absence of the ancient plumed knights, armed cap and his attendant squire, bearing his proud pennon, and although additional strength was thrown into the pro cession by the increase of the military bands, yet the loss of the men clad in steel and brass was a sad disappointment to many, who, not being engaged in trade in the City of London, could not understand why it was the "Show" was curtailed of its fair proportions. Guildhall was, of course, the principal point of rendezvous for hundreds of persons bent on gratifying themselves with a sight of the new Lord Mayor, and, although many arrived there at an early hour, little incidents were continually occurring that whiled away the time previous to the starting of the procession. At one time one of the splendid footmen, in his brilliant new livery, with unexceptionable limbs, and enormous bouquet, would come in for his share of good-humoured, but personal, observations, and then an energetic strong minded lady would create a degree of merriment by her desire to get a front place to see the show without obstruc tion. At about half-past 11 unmistakeable signs of preparations for a move were observable, and tho City Marshal, in brilliant uniform, mounted on his charger, was to be seen giving directions with respect to the for mation of the procession. Then a, number of men, habited in peculiar costumes, busied themselves in unfurling their time-honoured banners, which, in a variety of instances, seemed to have become a little too weighty for many of the veterans who have for a number of years carried them in triumph from east to west. The City watermen, in their scarlet liveries, seemed to bear their honours with becom ing dignity, and to be wall protected against a passing shower should such take place ; but those in lighter gar ments, in which cotton was the predominating fabric, seemed not so well provided. Many of them, however, had taken the wise precaution to slip their official cos tume over their ordinary dress, and thus, although it did not add to the effect of their appearance, 'they looked with an indifferent eye upon the cloud that now and then for a few minutes obscured the bright buewatery-looking November sun which shown on the ancient banqueting-hall of the City of London. The usual formalities having been completed, it was intimated that it was the will and plea sure 0 the Lord Mayor to proceed to Westminster, and then the City Marshal galloped forward to his appointed place, and the procession moved from Guildhall-yard in the following order : Drums and Fifes of the Royal London Militia.

FORSTER T. MACREETIL -NON-LIABILITY OF SOLICITORS. In this case the plaintiff, a bill discounter, brought an action against the defendant, who is a solicitor, to recover the account of a bill of exchange. The bill in question had been endorsed by a partner of the defendant in the name of the firm, and without the authority of the defen dant, and that party had got into difficulties, and was now non est. At the trial it was contended that, under the cir cumstances, the defendant was not liable, but the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, leave being given to de fendant. Mr. Sergeant now moved for a rule calling on the plain tiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial. He founded his application on the ground that it was only in the case of partners in, trade that the act of ono waS binding on the firm, and that solicitors and attorneys were especially exempted from the operation of the law in this respect. The learned counsel cited different authorities in support of the motion, and the Court granted the rule. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) COLLINS V. NOKES. This was an action the plaintiff, a builder, living in Earl-court, to receive damages for an alleged illegal dis traint, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Collins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cole for the defendant. It appeared that he rented his house in Earl-court from Mr. William Nokes, father of the defendant, with whom he had an account for repairing houses in the neighbourhood, and to whom he had on different occasions paid rent. This gentleman became embarrassed, and for some time the plaintiff paid the rent to the Rent Guarantee Society which acted as his agents. On the 15th of May, 1865, he reteived a letter from the solicitor of Mr. Nokes, saying that his client had become proprietor of the estate, and requiring him to pay him £63 next Lady-day. Other parties claimed the rent also, and he did not know to whom he was to pay the money when it became due. The defendant put in a distraint in the house, and the consequence was, that the plaintiff lost a lucrative lodger, anlelderly lady, who occupied three apartments, and who became so frightened that she left immediately, and he had not since been able to obtain another lodger. There was a great deal of conflicting evidence. Tho jury found a verdict for the plaintiff 'for £5l 175., including £l5 15s. for the loss sustained by his lodger having left in consequence of the proceedings of the defen dant. Leave was given to the defendant to move to re duce the amount by the last item. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HUNGRY, WET, AND COLD.—BEGGING CHILDREN. — James Brown, about 10 years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. Samuel Connolly, 128 C, said that about two o'clock that morning he saw the boy begging at the corner of Tottenham-Court-road, wet through, and shivering with cold and almost exhausted. He took the boy to the sta tion-house, where he was wrapped in a coat, his clothes dried, and some food given to him, which he ate rave nously, and seemed very thankful for. Mr. Knox —Has the boy got any parents ? The boy—Only a mother. Mr. Knox —Where does she live ? The boy—Newton-street. Mr. Knox—Does she send you out to beg ? The boy (shrinking the question)—l am a Roman Catholic. (Most of the boys charged wit h begging state that they are Roman Catholics, with the view of escaping being sent to school, it being known that the school at Walthamstow being full there is is no place available for Roman Catholics.) Mr. Knox—l will send you to the workhouse for a week and see if I cannot take you off the streets. Alfred Wood, another little fellow, in a most deplorable condition, having no shoes to his feet and his skin in a filthy state, was charged with a similar offence. Stephen Catt, 107 C, proved taking the boy into custody in Oxford-market, his miserable clothing being wet through. The boy's father, a crossing-sweeper in the Regent circus, said he never sent his boy out to beg. The constable said he had seen the boy begging in the same place for months. Mr. Knox said he would have the boy taken to the workhouse for a week. In answer to the magistrate, the father said he was a Roman Catholic. Mr. Knox said he would write to the magistrate's clerk of tho Industrial School, Feltham, to see if he could get a school for the boys. The Queen Life Assurance Company. -4 ' -- Mr. T.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party having taken up a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's counsel, The RECORDER, in addressing the Court, said he had the honour to introduce to their lordships the Right Hon. Thomas Gabriel, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The gracious approval of her Majesty had ratified the choice of the citizens. In making their election the citizens had not been un mindful of the important nature of the duties devolving upon the chief magistrate of their ancient city, or of the qualities which were requisite for their right discharge. From early life Mr. Gabriel had been engaged in commercial pursuits, and during the many years he had been so occu pied he had maintained the high character which they fondly believed belonged, with very rare exceptions, to British merchants as a body. For many years he had taken part in the municipal affairs of the city, filling many posi tions of public trust. He had also acted as a magistrate in his capacity of alderman, and on all occasions had exer cised his functions with perfect honour and independence, and had proved himself an intelligent and useful man. The new Lord Mayor was descended from a family which about a hundred years ago came from Cornwall, and settled in London. His grandfather founded the business, of which, under the firm of Thomas Gabriel and Sons, the Lord Mayor had for several years been the second partner, and which had long been one of the leading establishments in the foreign timber trade. Having obtained a position in mercantile circles, he was elected alderman of the ward of Ventry, on the retirement of Sir William Magnay, and had also filled the office of Sheriff with ability and hospitality. He (the Recorder) had no doubt that the Lord Mayor would fulfil all the expectations which his fellow-citizens had formed of him. Ho had also to introduce to his lord ship Alderman. Phillips, who had just retired from his year of office with the highest distinction. The LORD CHIEF BARON congratulated the new Lord Mayor on having attained the power which was so highly prized and eagerly sought after by every citizen. lie could not think that the present ceremony was a mere idle form, because the Lord Mayor appeared there before the Court to claim those ancient rights and privileges which were so highly valued by the citizens of London, and which had belonged to the City from time immemorial. He felt highly gratified at the account that had been given by the learned Recorder of the career of the Lord Mayor, and he had no doubt but that during his lordship's year of office he would exert himself to perform his duties to the utmost, and that at its termination he would con tinue to deserve the good opinions of his fellow-citizens. He had also the pleasurable dnty of congratulating the late Lord Mayor on the manner in which he had fulfilled his term of office, and in returning into comparative privacy he felt certain he would carry with him the kindest wishes and the highest esteem of those whose, rights and privi leges he had so well guarded and preserved during his term of office. . . __— Alderman Philllo bOWeti. hig acknowledgments. The Lord Mayor was then sworn. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render unto her Majesty a Hill aCeolint of the receipts on account of the Crown during his mayoralty, and, according to th e qua i nt old terms of the oath, to behave himself properly whilst he did so. The other formalities having been gone through, the Recorder invited the judges to the banquet at the Guild hall this evening, when the Lord Chief Baron said some of the judges would attend. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the officers of the City then withdrew, and, passing through the other courts, the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as in its coming. A marriage is arranged, and will shortly take place, between Mr. Cecil W. Forester, only son of the Hon. and Rev. Orlando Forester, and Miss Georgina Dixie, youngest daughter of the late Sir W. Wolstan Dixie,lßart., of Dowcilit 1 rk , 14QicoptinAire. At the Guildhall on Wednesday, John Irving Scott, the editor of the Reporter newspaper, and Andrew IN iltun, the publisher, were summoned for printing and publishing a defamatory libel concerning the Queen Life Assurance Company. The , complainant was Mr. John Elphic Leyland, the secretary of the company. When the summonses were called on it was stated to Alderman Cotton that Wilton had gone to Australia, and that Mr. Scott was unable to attend. Alderman Cotton said that on the last occasion when the case was before him he had hoped that an apology would have been offered and accepted by Mr. Leyland, butes that had not been done he should allow Mr. Edwards (the solici tor to the company) to make a statement in contradiction of the libel, and then adjourn the hearing until Mr. Scott was able to attend. Mr. Edwards said he wished to make a general denial of the libel of which he complained. It was contained in an article in the number of the Reporter of the 6th of October, 1866. The article referred to a uew so called Etna Insurance Company, which was advertised in the advertisement page, and in the article, which greatly praised the new undertaking, were the following remarks : —"And such undertakings directed by men of honour and position, and not coming before the lieges without tangible evidence to character in the shape of money actually in hand, and heavy obligations freely taken upon Atlantean shoulders, not signatures by the merest men of straw for fabulous thousands and impossible millions, but in the be ginning —e., anterior to the hour when the public are first courted for patronage—will be sure to receive no stinted measure of such besought patronage, for at this hour two thirds in round numbers of the properly insurable property in the United Kingdom is at the hour we write utterly un covered by insurance. The field of operation is not only fertile, but widely spread—most lucrative, capable of being quickly, easily, and profitably worked. Never was a better time for the projection of a great fire company, with good names, assured wealth, and a liberal con stitution. So began the Royal, the Lancashire, the Queen (which last is a badly-managed, most niggard, and hopeless office, and should amalgamate at once, for it has lost all its reserve fund, and is paying no dividend), the London and Lancashire, the Mercantile, &c., and all these companies are transacting enormous business and are honestly hopeful, with the unhappy excep tion we have indicated. During the painful mourning of her Majesty that regally-named office has heen all the time in ill luck, and a black flag should be hung over the en trance of the head office in Liverpool, and at the portals of all the branch offices, wherever they may be." The part of the libel they complained of was that which stated that they had lost all their reserve fund. Ile was prepared to prove that, so far as the reserve fund was concerned, not one penny of it bad been touched; and the assertion that they had lost all their reserve fund was the din of the libel. They would not have caked for the term niggaedly being applied to them, nor would they have cared for the term badly managed; but the charge that they had lost all their reserve fund was such a serious affair that they most strenuously objected to the statement going uncontradicted. The fact was that at the present moment they were pos sessed of a reserve fund of £158,000. He understood that defendant, in the last number of his publication, had aban doned that assertion, and admitted that he had made a mis take in it, and that the allusion to reserve fund was an error; bet still the acknowledgment was so unsatisfactory that he could not accept it as an apology. Alderman Cot ton regretted that an ample apology had not been tendered, but hoped that explanation would go forth to the public in order to do justice to the Queen Insurance Company. The summons was then adjourned. DEATH OF LADY HOLLAND.—Many persons will regret to hoar of the death of Sydney Smith's favourite daughter Saba,. Lady Holland. She married in 1834, as his second wife, Sir Henry Holland, M.D., D.0.L., F.R.S., the eminent physician, Physician in Ordinary to the Queen ' since 1852, and has had issue two daughters by him.
