MONDY MARKET AND COMMERCLELL IN T TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no apparent change in the immediate condition of the Discount Market, yet it is thought that an alteration will take place in the course of a few weeks. Trade requirements are likely to in crease, since it is seen by the daily accounts from almost all the manufacturing districts that orders on home as well as on foreign commission are more numerous than they were a few months ago. Operations in most quarters are being conducted in a very quiet way, and the prevailing low rates for monetary accommodation fail for the time to induce anything like excessive speculative adven ture. Other reasons may be given for the probability of an upward movement in the rates for bills. Corn and cotton are required in large quantities, and specie will leave the country in Payment. Already there is an outflow, as must have been observed by all interested in the subject, from reports of the Bullion-office of the Bank of England. It is true that only £145,000 has left this week at present, but to-day and to-morrow further sums may be despatched, the destination being eastwards. Reasonably assuming that the efflux will continue Owing to the reasons assigned, viz., corn, cotton, and expanding trade, it can scarcely be expected that the existing terms for loans and discounts will be quoted after the lapse of a few weeks. To -day the Money Market is plentifully supplied, and the rates are as low - as 4 to 4 per cent., with few borrowers. The traffic for the week ending 18th August, 1866, on the Eastern Bengal Railway has been £2,463, against £1,909 in the corresponding week of 1865. On the lines of the Piedmont Railway the traffic for the week ending 30th September was £17,914, against £24,906 at the corresponding period of 1865, showing a decrease of £6,962. On the rail ways of Southern Austria, Lombardy, and Central Italy the receipts for the week ending 30th Septem ber were £66,273 on the South Austrian line against £49,243 at the corresponding week of 1865 ; and o n the Lombardo and Central Italy line £19,699 was received against £14,970 at the corresponding Period of 1865. With regard to the progress of trade it is satis factory that the protracted strike at Middlesboro' has been checked by the resumption of work at the mills of Messrs. Hopkins, Gilkes, and Co. These little events point not only to the prospect of in creased commerce, but also to the moral force em ployed by the present Government in suppres sing disaffected people who do not consider their own interests. With regard to the mills referred to the Newcastle Chronicle states as follows :—." The half-dozen furnaces are being worked by under-hands, and to-day (Thurs day) several others are to start. The Union men, however, remain unaltered in their resolve to stand out against the proposed reduction of their wages. We regret to add that during Tuesday night a most disgraceful trick was perpetrated by some malicious person. A big piece of wrought iron bad been placed amongst the machinery, so that when it was put in motion the fly-wheel would break. Suspicion is cast upon the Union men for this. If they are guilty, they will be v ery much disappointed to learn that their shameful scheme to stop the poor under-hands and labourers from earning bread failed, for the masters had given instructions to their workmen to i ns p ec t e machinery minutely before it was put in motion, and thus the mischievous piece of iron was discovered and removed. At Messrs. Bolckow, Vaughan, and C o.'s, there is nothing new, neither is there any atte mpt to st ar t th e ot h er wor k s i n t h e di str i ct ; b ut th e public generally still believe that the dispute is Virtually at an end. The skilled workmen, how ever, say they will not return to work unless they get their old wages, and, therefore, the struggle may be continued for some time yet." In reference to the affairs of Overend, Gurney, al 4 1 , 11 d Co., an app li cat i on was th i s day made to Mr. the oft li q ui dators, for an order to enfo r ce th e p a y men t he call against twelve shareholders of this coin -1),,,,„ aa Y , n otwithsta n di ng th e or d er o f th e Vice-Chan to stay the same as against certain share holders until the 3d November. Mr. Denton, on ,half of the li qu id ators, conten d e d th a t th e Vice j'l'llancellor had left open th e r i g ht t o p ursue o th er rehol ders, and the chief clerk decided that the Ordera,: as a gainst the twelve must be made.

Within the Gazette week there has been a large diminution in what used to be termed the portfolio of the Bank of England, i.e., the amount of bills under discount. The reserves of Bank notes and coin have be en t renc h e d upon, because there has been an increase in the active circulation of over a million sterling.

The weather has not been favourable for the inspection of samples, and business has been particularly flat. The Stock Exchange Markets to-day are closing with a very sluggish appearance, and it is rather re markable that with the quietude now experienced that values have been so well sustained. There is, in fact, a hardening tendency, and investments seem to be supporting the present range of quota tions. Consols are 891 for money, and for the Bth of November 891 1, showing a rise of 1 per cent. There is no alteration to report with regard to the New Threes and Reduced Annuities, but there have been numerous dealings, especially in the former. Indian 5 per Cents. have also changed hands to a large extent. In the Foreign Stock Market there has been an average advance of 1 per cent. in the principal spe culative descriptions. Spanish Passive have risen 1, to 21i ; and Certificates:l, to 131 14 ; Mexican are a little firmer, upon the intelligence that further remittances are coming forward to pay the overdue coupons.

The prince and Princess' will not be present at the concerts on the Monday and Tuesday even ings, but they will attend the morning performance on the Wednesday, and probably also some of ,the other concerts. The Royal visitors will also attend the ball on the Friday evening. The festival promises to bo a pecuniary success —the amount received up to yesterday from the sale of tickets being upwards of £3,000. This must be considered a highly satisfactory result, as the sale will continue, of course, during the ensuing ten days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) ACTION AGAINST SIR R. PEEL, BART., M.P.-A NEW TRIAL GRANTED. - ---MILLINGTON V. SIR R. PEEL, BART., M.P. This case came before the Court again this (Friday) afternoon, upon the application of the defendant for a new trial on the ground of his unavoidable absence at the origi nal hearing of the suit. _ _ _ . Mr. Oliver Freshfield, who appeared for the defendant, put in an affidavit to the effect that Sir Robert Peel heard nothing of the summons until he saw the case reported in the newspapers. He had no knowledge of the plaintiff, nor had he ordered any goods from him. His Honour—That is a defence upon the merits. Mr. Freshfield—Certainly. We are prepared to show that Sir R. PCel did not order the goods. Mr. Baylis (for the plaintiff)-1 beg to say that I have affidavits in answer to that filed by the baronet. Mr. Osgood (the registrar)—You had better send them in. His Honour then read an affidavit made by the plaintiff yesterday (Thursday), to the effect that in July, 1864, he re ceived an order from John A. Watson, whom he believed to be the agent of the defendant at Geneva, to forward samples of glass to Villa Lammermoor, at Geneva, and that the samples were duly forwarded as requested. Subse quently, in March, 1866, plaintiff wrote to Watson at Villa Lammermoor, and received for answer that the goods had been duly received. Application had been made on four or five occasions to the defendant, and finally this action was brought. The second affidavit was to the effect that the goods had been forwarded to Watson, who was de scribed as the steward of Sir Robert Peel, at Villa Lammermoor. His Honour said he would grant a new trial on payment of the hosts of the day. DlrFreshfield considered that the question of costs should be reserved, as it was evident the summons had not been served on the defendant. It was well known that at the time of the service nearly all the members of Parliament were out of town, and at that time Sir Robert Peel was in Paris. His Honour—The summons was left in accordance with the terms of the act of Parliament. Mr. Freshfield—The house was shut up. His Honour—The summons was delivered to a man who is described as a person above 16 years of age. Plain tiff will be entitled to call the officer of the Westminster County Court to prove the service. Still as the question was raised, the costs would be reserved until the hearing of the new cause. Mr. Baylis—l would ask your Honour to order the at tendance of Sir Robert Peel at the next hearing. His Honour—l have no power to do so. You must sub pcena. Sir Robert Peel in the ordinary manner. Mr. Baylis—We have had some difficulty in serving the defendant. Mr. Freshfield—That is not true. His Honour —I have granted a new trial upon the merits, reserving the question of costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. A STRANGE VISITOR.—A peculiar-looking individual, who refused to give either name or address, was placed at the bar charged with assaulting Alfred Clench, a cab man, by first kicking and striking him, and afterwards presenting a pistol at him. Clench said he resided in New Church-court, Strand, and about half-past 7 last evening he heard some one knocking at his room door, and on opening it he found the prisoner in the passage. He made a rush at him (witness) and seized him by the throat, when a violent struggle ensued, during which the prisoner kicked and hit him in the face. The prisoner said ho had called to see a Mr. Wilson, but when he (witness) told him that was not his name he went away, but returned in about a quarter of an hour armed with a revolver, which he presented at witness, and swore he would shoot him. He (witness) seized the pistol, and succeeded in taking it from the pri soner, but on examination he found it was not loaded. He then put the prisoner out of the house, but he con-) tinned his annoyance for so long a time that he (witness . was compelled to send for a police-constable, and on the prisoner becoming aware of what he had done, he took to his heels and ran off at the top of his speed, but he was ultimately stopped and taken into custody. Police-constable Leeman, 157 F, said he was on duty iu the Strand last evening, and was called to New Church court to remove the prisoner, who was drunk. He refused to give his address, or to offer any explanation of his strange conduct, and as he refused to desist from creating a dis turbance he took him into custody. The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The prisoner, in reply, said he had nothing to say. He did not take the pistol to do any harm to the complainant, it was out of rerair, and he was going to have it mended. The Magistrate told the prisoner he should not let him go until he had caused some inquiry to be made about him, and for that purpose he should remand - him to enable the police to do so.

CONTEMPLATED EXTENSION OF THE LIVERPOOL DOCKS.—A special committee of the Mersey Dock, to whom the question of extensions and improvements was recently referred, yesterday recommended the board to en deavour next session to obtain borrowing powers to the extent of £850,000 for new docks and warehouses, of £250,000 for the purpose of additional land in the vicinity of the docks owned by the board, and to obtain power to spread the cost of poor rates over the surplus funds of pre vious year. MANSION HOUSE. WHOLESALE ROBBEHY.—W. Young was brought up on remand, charged with stealing various articles, the pro perty of Mr. Block, hardware-dealer, Houndsditch. In the early part of last week the prisoner, who was a custo mer, came to the shop of Mr. Block and purchased some• waiters. The shopman noticed him throw a rug which he threw over some things which were lying on the counter He followed him as he was leaving the shop, and, lifting up the rug, found the knives and corkscrews under it The prisoner said he had taken them by mistake ; and on being told that he would give him in charge the prisoner begged to be forgiven, stating that it was his first offence. He gave him into charge of a policeman, and they both went with him to his lodgings at Penge, Surrey, where a considerable quantity of the same description of property was discovered, a portion of which was identified as belonging to Mr. Block, and since the prisoner's apprehension the remainder of the property has been identified as belonging to different establishments at Southwark and other parts of the metro polis. Mr. Beard attended for the prisoner, and cross-examined oue of the witnesses, but could not shake his evidence. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. MARLBORO UG T REE T. SIMPLIFTING.—Two young women, named Maria Martin and Jane Brown, charged with shoplifting - , wore brought up for final examination. The prisoners were seen to leave the shop of Mr. Hooper, draper, of No. 52, Oxford-street, in a hurried manner by police-constable 733 A, and as he suspected something was wrong he followed them into Beruers-street, and asked Martin what she had under her cloak, he having previously seen the prison ers exam i ning som ething. Martin took from under her cl oa k a d ress p i ece , and the constable then took the prisoner s t o t h e pol i ce - s t a tion, where upon them and near where th ey h a d b een s t an ding a new pair of boots, a pair of slippe rs , an d a b out a dozen pairs of socks, all the articles being new, were f oun d. On being asked their addresses one of the prisoners said she lived in Bristol, while the other stated that she lived in Buckinghamshire. Walter Davis, assistant to Mr. Hooper, identified the dress piece as the property of his employer. A constable having proved that Brown had been twice sentenced to penal servitude, and that Martin had been twice convicted—once in a police-court and once at the sessions—and the socks having been identified by Mr. Samuel Denny, hosier, of 59, High-street, St. Giles's, Mr. Knox committed the prisoners for trial. WESTMINSTER. CRUEL HUSBANDS AND TIEEIR FAMILIES.—Joseph Good child, a labourer, was charged with violently assaulting his wife. Complainant, a very creditable, hard-working-looking woman, said that she was continually being ill-used by her husband. On Saturday night, while she was getting pro vision for the Sunday, defendant went out to a publichouse opposite in Eden-place, Chelsea, and soon after was engaged in a fight with another man. Complainant went out ands brought him away, and when he got home he said that a he could not have his revenge upon the man he would upon her, and immediately set to and beat her about the face without the least provocation. Mr. Selfe—have you ever complained of him here be fore ? _ _ Complainant—This is the third time I have complained, but the first time he has come before you. Mr. Selfe—Have you any family ? Complainant —Four children ; and he broke up all my little home excepting two or three things. Defendant—lt is all through her friends. She lodged in her mother's house. Her brother-in-law struck me. I had been drinking. Mr. Selfe—lf I send your husband to prison, Mrs. Good child, what will become of your children ?—that's the question. Complainant—l must work for them, as I have had to do before. Mr. Selfe—Then he is committed for one month, and must enter into recognisances for six months. FACTORY ACTS.—Theinspectors of factories, Mr. Alexander Redgrave andlkir. Robert Baker, in their last half -yearly governmental report, speak very favourably of the continued andready observance of the factory regula tions in the various kinds of works now under their inspec tion. "We cannot," they say, addressing the Home Secre tary, "express to you too strongly our sense of the vast benefit recently conferred upon the operatives by the Fac tory Acts Extension Act of 1864, and our earnest hope that other employments, of which the evils and hindrances to moral and social progress have been so ably reported by the Children's Employment Commissioners, may, as soon as possible, be brought under the influence of factory re gulations." Mr. George Peabody some time since offered to pay for the erection of a Congregational Church at George town, Massachusetts, as a memorial to his mother, and was lately present at its dedication. He has now offered to erect a library building for the town and stock it with books for the use of the people, His first appropriation for this is $12,000, THE INSURRECTION IN CRETE.

But the impatient and uncompromising spirits who wished to make the crisis au occasion for an appeal to arms would not wait the arrival of the Ottoman envoy, and got up a rising on the day before he landed. Blood flowed, and the movement— encouraged by manifestations in the Archipelago and in Greece itself assumed in the begin ning an alarming character. The new French Minister of Foreign Affairs having been requested by King George to visit Athens on his way from the East did all that he could to allay the irritation.

These counsels were accepted with gratitude. The agitation has now lost its gravity in the islands and in the Hellenic provinces bordering upon Crete, and the Cretans themselves appear to be less indisposed than heretofore to respond to the conciliatory appeal made to them by the Porte. The Ottoman Go vernrnet is moreover at this moment endeavouring to solve pending questions concerning the interests of the Christians. The affair of the Principalities approaches a settlement, and the election of the foreign prince called upon to govern them will very shortly be confirmed by the Porte. The French Government will thus witness the realisation of a combination which it was the first to suggest in 1855 ; which it subsequently favoured during the negotiations in Paris in 1858, and which it again supported in the recent conferences at the com mencement of the present year. 51b extra.

MARK LAN/. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. The trade was firm, at the full prices of Monday, and a clearance was effected. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. There was a steady demand for most qualities, and the quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full currencies. The barley ruled firm, at full quotations; but inferior qualities were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Malt was steady, at full quotations. Oats were in fair supply and steady request, at fully late rates. Beans and peas moved off steadily at full prices. There was a fair demand for flour, at quite late rates. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The correspondent of the Edinburgh Courant gives the following minute description of the personal appearance and dress of Dr. Mary Walker, the American lady physician, who is now attending the meeting of the Social Science Association at Man chester : A word more about the lady graduate, whom the writer has now had the chance of seeing, and of whom ho can speak no longer from uncertain hearsay. She is a person of very slight figure, under five feet, and quite slender. She is habited in a black surtout, fitting neatly to the body, and showing the width of waist, which is not merely of the orthodox pattern for young ladies, but "of the straitest sect." The skirt of the surcoat, in which is a side pocket, from which a white handkerchief peeps, falls considerably below the knee, and expanding from the waist in extin guisher fashion, it is close buttoned throughout. The "con tinuations" are also of black, pretty full at the lower hem— in fact, quite the opposite of peg-top fashion ; and a neat little pair of feet, which would be not quite unaristocratic in China, are fitted into an unexceptionable pair of boots. The collar resembles, if not composed, in fact, of white japanned steel, with a clearer sheen than Glenfield starch, ending in a quasi tie, and forms a kind of slight cope to the dress, which fits close to the throat. The hair, in regard to which the lady graduate has not denuded herself of the " ornament of woman," is tied close up behind, and is shed in proper feminine division from crown to forehead. A very little black straw hat completes the attire, and which in the reception-room she carried in the hand., She was there the object of intense attraction to a numerous group, chiefly com posed of ladies, and of which she formed the centre ; and she was engaged in conversation with a Frenchman, who had so far forgotten the gallantry of his nation as to put her on the defensive on the subject of her attire. But before speakingof her defence, a word must be said as to her looks, which were then sharpened and animated. Her features are thin and small, and she is yet young, although showing a few of those lines which years always deepen. She is not pretty— not at least to admirers of plump and rosy faces—but in her manner she is engaging, especially to the curious. She spoke for herself with modesty, yet with confidence, and with much ready wit. She was telling the French gen tleman that at least a thousand women in the States now wore her costume, and that if the modistes of Paris did not look out at once, or rather if they did not forthwith adopt the costume of Dr. Mary Walker, their lead in fashions was at an end. America would take the place of France and dictate the costumes of the world. The lady auditors of Dr. Mary were intensely amused ; it is impossible to guess how far they were converted. There is literally no defence of crinoline, and here the lady reformer completely vanquished all opposition. She told the story of a general's wife who had appeared at some grand ball in New York with a hundred (or was it a thousand ?) japonicas fastened to her dress, and remarking that though at balls ladies "were not expected to show any common sense whatever," she rejoiced in these extreme cases, seeing they helped so strongly her case against the prevailing form of femininewes costume. It was, she acknowledged, the medium that her difficulty, as it is indeed the difficulty of all reformers; but (as she not illogically remarked), whenladies gapeto pevail to the extreme of absurdity, then she may with her arguments as to the physiological thionpsueitahtilleitireeo! the attire adopted by her sex.

As to her political opinions, .ould upset every thing here, both domestic and political, and indeed there is room for ladies of her masculine tendencies only in Re publican societie s.

Nov. 15 The Earl of Strathmore (says the Dundee Ad vertiser) since his succession to his estates has won "golden opinions" in Forfarshire. His lordship has made an allowance to each tenant on his property equal to one half of his losses from the cattle plague, which, on account of its extraordinary devastations in Strathmore, involved a large sum. As several farms on the estate were let at a time when agricultural prospects appeared much brighter than they are now, his lordship has himself voluntarily offered to reduce the rents OA some of the farms.

(THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Though a great deal of rain has fallen the exercise grounds are in capital order, and trainers were again very active to-day, particularly with their Cambridgeshire a Criterion horses. Amongst the former were Broomiela Out and Outer, Vespasian, the Scheldt and Mineral, fro Mr. Bloss's ; Duke of York and Harefield, from Blanton's Peeress, from R. Boyce's ; Robin Hood, from Cotton's Ostregorand Acttea„ from Drewett's ; Sultan, of the French division ; Saladin and Jollity, from Godding's ; Nu, Saccha rometer, and Godmersham, from Goodwin's : Medina, from Chris. Green's; Fluerette and Puebla, from Jennings's ; Dalesman, Tomahawk, and Guinivere, from the senior Hayhoe's ; Ambition, from the younger Hay hoe's; Claxton, from Charles Marson's ; Peon, Paris, and Il Re Galantuomo from Pryor's ; Mount Palatine from John Dawson's ; Caithness and Chepstow from Peter Prices; Roland from Charles Rayners ; Lightning and Countersign from Tom Stephbnson's ; Pepper's Ghost from Alex. Taylor's ; and Lozenge from IVatson's. Amongst the Criterion horses working wo noticed Stolen Kisses, Lochaber, Pedagogue, Blinkoolie, The Hermit, Star of India, Sunnylocks, Van Amburgh, The Teddington's darn colt, Imporator, Cerf Volante, Trocadero, Dragon, Flamingo, Friponnier, Janua, Chignon, Cincinnati colt, and the Jewel ; all of whom were in fair work, but The Hermit, The Dragon, and Fripounier wore doing the most, and are the cream of the role. In fact one of these are sure to win the Criterion, de spite Taraban's high private trial, and possibly it will be Dragon, as he is more fit than the Hermit, and Friponnier has a very uncertain temper. Louisa again led Lozenge a mile and a half, and the latter goes uncommonly free and strong. Ostregor took Actrea, nearly a mile and three-quarters, and the mare was never better in her life ; our professionals are very fond of her chance. The Chap lin-Machell lot severally galloped over a mile and a quarter, but not very fast. Caithness and Chepstow had a mile and a half fast gallop, and the latter showed no temper, but went as quiet as a lamb, yet us strong as a lion. No fault can be found either with his action, pace, or condition. Saladin and Jollity each did over a mile and a half. Ambition galloped a mile and a quarter, very fast. Tour malin gave the Baron's trio a mile and three-quarters, smartly, and Tomahawk moved beautifully. Paris and Peon went nearly a mile and a quarter at a clipping pace, but the latter is not near ripe yet. Jennings gave Fleu rette a rattling mile and a half spin. Sultan was spinning along splendidly. We also noted Gladiateur in good work ; as well as Regalia, Stradbroke, Breeze, Magpie, Hippia, Jasper, Julius, Bombastes, Pericles, Littleport, Goodfellow, Lytham, Chapel Royal, Othello, Rector, Python, the Amanda colt, Delium, Seringapatam, and several others. Hickman has just received an allotment of promising yearlings. LITTLETON. Proserpina has had a spin with Abergeldie and Balpinctes, at the Cambridgeshire weights, and won. They finished as enumerated. The two first, however, will both run, and may leave here for Newmarket early to-morrow. RICHMOND. Moldavia has passod through a very successful ordeal, and starts for Newmarket to-morrow. The trial camo off on tho race-course this morning, Ameer, Zenobia, and Alico Fauconberg, being the tests. Lund's horses galloped two miles. Roderick Random was in slow work. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, OCt. 18. The extra Cunard steamer Tripoli arrived here at 1 p.m. to-day. She brings 140 passengers, of which she landed 43, latest despatches, &c., and proceeded at 1.20 p.m. All well. She experienced very tempestuous weather. Bank of England Returns.--Last Evening.

DEATH OF LORD IVORY.—We record with regret in our obituary to-day the death of James Ivory, Escl• (Lar d Ivory), which took place yesterday, at his residence in Ainslie-place, in his 75th year. The late hour at which we receive the announcement permits us only, in the meantime, briefly to state that the deceased gentleman was born in ' 1792, and admitted to the Scotch bar in ism After having served on the Scottish Municipal Commission, an d held in turn the Sheriffships of Bute and Caithness, he became Solicitor-General for Scotland in 1839. In 1840 he was made one of the senators of the College of Justice —assuming the courtesy title of Lord Ivory; and in 1849 he was further appointed one of the Lords of Justiciary.
