TwELvg O'CLOCK. The Money Market is decidedly firmer, and a large amount of business is reported. There are the usual payments at the end of the month, the settlement of accounts at the Stock Exchange, pre parations for the 4th December, and the requisite provision for mercantile commitments in connection with India and China due on the Bth proximo. These circumstances are of course exercising an im portant influence upon the immediate condition of the discount market. At the Bank of France there has been a large i ncrease of bullion during the past week, and also a considerable addition to the reserve of notes. In t he interest of trade it is likewise satisfactory to ob serve a large augmentation in the total of notes uuder discount. An influx of £32,000 took place at the Bank of England yesterday.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HUNTER Y. SHARPE. This protracted case was again resumed this morning. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Parry, and Mr. H. Williams, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Karslake, Q.C., Mr. Quoin, Q.C., and Mr. Stephens, for the defendant. Dr. Markham, the first witness called, was examined by Mr. Stephens. He said he was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, a member of the Royal Surgical and Pathological Society, physician of St.. Mary's Hospital, and he was also the author of different medical works. Ho had read Dr. Hunter's work on the theory and treatment of consumption ; and with respect to the former, as to the disease being caused by carbon in the lungs and tubercles, by difficulty of respiration, he agreed with Dr. Williams and Dr. Bennett as to the fallacy of that doctrine. Carbon was no more a constituent of a tuberele than of any of the animal tissues, in which it was found, in some of which it existed in large quantities. He ridiculed the idea that tubercles could be decomposed by the introduction of oxygen into the lungs. In fact the immediate acticin of oxygen could no more take place on the lungs than that l 'of the oxygen in the atmo sphere could act on ono of the fitagers, except through the agency of fire. It was well known to the profession that, in cases in which there were extensive deposits of carbon in the lungs there wore no tubercles, and where the depo sits were extremely small tubercles were found. The Lord Chief Justice—ls it not true that oxygen mixes with and purifies the blood ? Witness—There was no doubt about that ; but he re peated his statement respecting its immediate action on the lungs. Dr. Hunter's book gave no specific information whatever as to his mode of administering oxygen, and his cases contained no records upon which a medical man could rely, although a medical man might perhaps be able to guess from the work what the author meant. He could not clearly understand what Dr. Hunter meant by his use, in a generic sense, of the term alterative, when applied to specifics. As a medical record he considoired Dr. Hunter's work quite valueless. Unless he had some authentic literary record of cases he could not adopt Dr. Hunter's views on this particular point. As regarded the inhalation of stramonium and other medical agents mentioned by Dr. Ranter, he believed, as in the case of asthma; it would be beneficial. Referring to ho gentleman examined on Wjdnesday as having been under Dr. Hunter's care, those cases were not consumption, and he had no doubt that any physician in London could pro duce similar instances iu which patients had received the same relief. He believed that all physicians effected cures (Laughter.) He expressed his conviction that it was only by the expulsion of carbonic acid that consumption could be cured. The witness then repeated in sub ,tance the medical views and arguments of the previous witnesses who had been examined on behalf of the defendant. In cross-examination by Mr. Coleridge, he said that the theory of Dr. Hunter amounted to nothing in a scientific point. Every physician who practised would of necessity have to make himself acquainted with consumption. Dr. G. Johnson said that he was a Fellow of the Colle e of Physicians and member of the University of London, and author of various works on medical subjects. He consi dered generally that the theory of Dr. Hunter was opposed to that developed by medical science in reference to con sumption. The assertion of Dr. Hunter that an effusion of blood was not caused by a rupture of a blood vessel was quite absurd. The blood vessels were not porous, and no hemorrhage, even from the nose, could take place without some artery being broken. In cross-examination, by Mr. Coleridge, the witness said this latter statement was not a matter of opinion, but of unquestioned fact. Dr. William Odling, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and lecturer on chemistry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, gave similar evidence, and said that chloric acid used by Dr. Hunter was not in the pharmacopeia, and was chiefly for fireworks, being an explosive material. It might, however, be weakened by water to any extent. This closed the evidence. Mr. Karslake then summed up the case for the defence. Mr. Coleridge replied on the whole case, and at the con clusion of the learned counsel's address, The Court adjourned until to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WANDERING ABOUT WITHOUT MEANS OF SUBSISTENCE. —Henry Gubbles, a boy, was charged before Mr. Knox with wandering abroad without proper guardianship, or the visible moans of subsistence. A constable proved seeing the boy about three o'clock that morning in Castle-street, Oxford-street, following a gentleman and begging ; and as the boy was shivering and his teeth chattering ho took him to the station. no had made inquiries respecting the boy, and found that he had a mother living with a man, and that the mother paid very little, if any, attention to the boy; and the poor little fel low told him that lie often slept in the passage, with the front and back doors wide open all - night. Mr. Knox asked the bpy whether that was true. The boy said it was, and that hie mother lived with a man. Mr. Knox said he must do something for tho' poor boy, who looked half starved. The constable said the boy had a few common paper flowers with him. Mr. Knox said ho would rescue the boy, if he could, from his misery. A man (who said he was the boy's stepfather) said it wan the boy's fault that he slept i n th e passage. The boy was in the habit of going out a n d go i ng to the play. Mr. Knox asked the man whether the boy was in tho habit of getting anything to eat; • The man had the impudence to say that the boy had plenty. - The boy's mother, who had a pair of bad black oyes, said the boy was itt the habit of going out to sell people flowers, but she had not let him out for some time till yesterday, owing to his not bringing 'home the money ho got. The boy said that was not true. Sometimes ho took home as much as 3s. The mother denied this, and said that she was willing for the boy to go to a school, to save him from " badness." Mr. Knox asked the man and the mother to look at the boy, and tell him whether they considered he had "plenty of food." The boy was, in fact, half-starved. He believed the boy was sent out f or t h e purpose o f ge tti ng m on e y t o take home. The boy's a p pearance s h owe d pretty well how he was treated. The boy's appearance was truly miserable. He would send the boy to school, and would not take the trouble of asking his mother any questions. The boy would go to Feltham for three years. As he was leaving the court the boy thanked the magistrate.

Floating cargoes of grain were in request at full cur• rencies. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Fine malting produce was firm at quite late rates. Medium and inferior barley sold heavily at drooping currencies. Malt changed hands to only a moderate extent at late rates. The oat trade was quiet at the rates current on Monday, The market was moderately supplied. Beans and peas ruled steady at full quotations. There was a fair demand for flour at late rates.

Its success in putting out the flame on a burning mass saturated with naphtha and other inflammable materials was remarkable. I think dwelling-houses and establishments, whether public or private, and all ships and vessels, should have these useful extincteurs ready at hand to quench the first beginning of fire on the premises.

AN UNREDRESSABLE GRIEVANCE.—Among the greatest annoyances of this world are those we cannot remedy, that baffle our skill, and defy every effort to con quer or set"them aside. Of this character is the shameful trade nuisance, to which the house of Swan and Edgar is now subjected by the fictitious assumption of the name of one of its members by a gang of men who have taken a shop in their immediate vicinity. T hese people au daciously issue circulars, broadcast, of a nature to impose upon ladies the notion that Swan and Edgar are "selling off," and the worthless rubbish thus foisted upon the public has been in several instances in dignantly sent by the purchasers to the establishment of these gentlemen. Tho law has been applied to, but it re grets its inability to afford redress! The press," sug gests the worthy magistrate of Marlborough-street, "is all I can advise you to seek." So if there were no press this infamous and injurious system of ruining the well-earned fame of a house, which for half a century has possessed the character of high honour and integrity, might go on rampant and unchecked. We, therefore, cheerfully call attention to the facts as a warning to our readers, and an act of bare justice to Messrs. Swan and Edgar. .—On Tuesday a large number STRIKE of AT Aiess AlD men started work, and twenty - two puddling furnaces were LD. Hopkins,L E s B i to' Gilkes, and Co.'s lighted up. A mill and the remainder of the furnaces wore to be started last night. Contrary to expectation, Messrs. Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co.'s; men did not make any move yesterday, but it is believed that in the course of a day or two they will come to a settlement. Messrs.

Lord Strathnairn, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland, arrived from England yesterday evening by the mail steamer Munster. The Munster was alongside the pier at 5 40, thus enabling both the mail and passenger special trains to be despatched to Dublin before 6 o'clock, and bringing the through journey from Loudon to Dublin considerably under the stipulated 11 hours. The Belfast papers report that on Tuesday even ing Constable Clingham arrested in Belfast a man named Bernard Kenney, a stonemason, under the Habeas Corpus Act, on suspicion of being connected with the Fenian conspiracy. The grounds of the arrest were not allowed to transpire by the autho rities, but the accused was ordered to be kept in close custody. Last night another person was arrested on the same charge, but was set at liberty immediately afterwards, he having satisfied the authorities that he was not in any way connected with Fenianism. On the same day, during the dis charge of the cargo of the Fleetwood steamer, a auspicious-looking cask, labelled " hardware," was seized on being landed in the shed by the Custom house officers on duty there. The cask on being opened was found to contain about a hundredweight of ball cartridges, which were well packed up. The cask was taken to the Custom-house, where, it is understood, it will be detained. It is stated that Mr..M'Clintock has been ap pointed solicitor to the Board of Works. The salary was £l,BOO, but the Treasury has now reduced it to £1,200. MR. BRIGHT ON IRISH POLICY.—A. gentleman at Exeter has received the following letter from Mr. Bright in reference to the Irish question :—" Rochdale, Nov. 24, 1866—Dear Sir, —I thank you for your note and the newspaper. The Irish landlords feel that they can rely on English force to sustain them, and they are careless as to the condition of the country and the feelings of the tenantry. My plan would rob nobody. I would give more than its present market value for any estate purchased, and I would make a new race of proprietors out of the pre sent occupiers, and thus convert them from discontent to a real loyalty to their country. Everything proposed for Ireland is opposed by the Tory, the Church, and landlord party, and yet this party has itself nothing to suggest. Discontent and insurrection may menace the country, but English force is always at hand, so the landlord sleeps in peace, and feels that his rent and his power aro secure. If Ireland were 1,000 miles away from us, all would be at once changed, justice would be done, or the landlord would be exterminated by the vengeance of the people. I eee nothing better in the future so long as the people of the United Kingdom are excluded from the House of Commons, and how soon we may be able to hear them included is more than I can tell. Ido what I can for them, and now they are doing something for themselves. I hope there may be some result before long. My correspondence is very burdensome, so forgive this brief note, and believe me yours very truly, JOUN Ditioallt" eft EVE RUN MC stiA.u.sz.

NEWMARKET. The open weather continues, but fogs prevail night and morning. Nevertheless a lot of horses were early at exer cise to-day. Mat Dawson had out the high-priced year ling Angus, walking about, and a fine promising colt he is too. Amongst the ducal-confederacy team we noticed Julius, Pericles, Bombastes, the Flying Scud, and La Puce who trotted and cantered some time, and then galloped a mile gently. Tom Jennings was working the Dragon, Imperator, Enchanteur, Cerf Volante, Longchamps, and three or four other three year olds ; and Bloss gave The Hermit, Knight of the Garter, Tempest, and Pedagogue a steady gallop each. Friponnier led The Rake quietly over a mile; and Jasper took Hippia and Falkenstein a like gallop D'Estournel trotted and cantered freely, as did Ravioli, bu neither galloped. Stradbroke had two smart canters, and subsequently galloped a mile sharply. Nurna Pompilius and Guy of Warwick went three-quarters of a mile smartish. Guinivere had a two mile breathing, and Gla diateur, Breadalbane, Broomielaw, Out-and-Outer, Van Amburg, Leybourne, Sealskin, Emigrant, The Beadle, Wild Agnes, &c., were again at work. James Mann, the jockey, continues in a dangerous state of health. LAMBOURNE. Marksman, Summertime, Stockstill, and Somerled did a fair amount of work this morning, for after cantering and trotting upwards of one hour, Gong and My Hobby took them a nice mile and a quarter gallop. Sister to Wallace sister to The Student, sister to Scottish Chief, the Cordelia colt, and the Rambling Katie filly also exercised freely but the other Rus.,ley two-year-olds, including brother to Wild Charley, Rogerthorpo's dam colt, the Sunflower filly, the Catherine Hayes filly, Birdforth, the Mwstissima filly, and the Sunbeam filly were merely walking about. Zaw besi, Watchbox, Student, The Primate, Beelzebub, Mirella, and Master Archy have been absentees throughout the week. Waugh had some ten or a dozen yearlings in course of preparation. Wetherell sent Bees wing and Millie a mile gallop ; and was attending well to a yearling filly by Neville—Emma. Drislano and Bates were busy with their teams; but Knight had very few in work, most of his having left, or been thrown up. Gee galloped Knight of Down and Bonnie Doon, and was preparing a yearling, sister to the latter, but Bright Phcebus was walk ing only. STOCKBRIDGE. Vauban, Distin, and Uncas followed the Duke for a mile this morning ; and Lecturer went a mile and a half by himself. Alfred Day is tutoring nine very good-look ing yearlings. Tom Brown gave Canard a mile gallop, sharp; and sent Diomed and Mauropas two miles and a half at a sweating pace. Aaron and Archimage were walking ; but Apsley and Hurunui trotted and cantered. We counted sixty yearlings on the Downs to-day. MALTON. The Wild Wind, Taraban, and Knight of the Grove, followed Knight of the Crescent in some active work this morning, but Grand Cross was again absent. He is re ported coughing. Miscot is the only animal here now doing really strong work. All our trainers are exceedingly busy with their yearlings. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon galloped a mile and three-quarters very steadily this morning, being exceedingly fresh ; and Achievement went over a mile gently. Gardevisure took Tho General a nice gallop, and Commissioner followed Dunsany ; after which the latter schooled the yearlings. We have a steeplechaser here, called Threadbare, that is in long, steady work, and very forward in condition. Mr. Ten Broeck's yearlings, about a score in number, are pro gressing first class, and the same may be said of Tom Dawson's youngsters.

The public meeting is to take place at the Beaufort House Rifle Grounds, Old Brompton, through the kindness of the proprietor, Lord Ranelagh, on Monday next. It is to be hoped that all who can attend will do so. At the present time, as far as can be conjectured, at least from 75,000 to 100,000 persons will walk in the pro cession, but the probabilities are there will be many more ; therefore, no time should be lost by the committees of temperance societies in making the necessary arrange ments, so as to ensure a good place in the procession, and that the demonstration may prove to be a great success. By attending by thousands and ten of thousands they will show that the teetotallers of London are not supine or apathetic in the great cause of Parliamentary Reform. Ti c kets to defray the expenses of the demonstration may be had at twopence each on application to -csetroef any otth;elllilveo o rr f eki t tn h hg e e 3miee m n, b s e A rs ss o o f c t ia h t e io c n o , n l u o n , it ß te o e lt , - o c r ou a r t t, tl F ie le e e ffi t Organisation Committee sit daily from 10 a.m, to 10 p.m. Tickets already issued for Ashburnham Grounds are available for Beaufort House Rifle Grounds, Old Eromp ton.—Yours obediently,GEOßGEiloßnT Secretary u, POTTER, R tChairman. m t - h E Le D,emonstration. JOHN ROBERT TA YLOR, President of theE l st Central Temperance Association. Committee Room, 10, Belt-court, Fleet-street, E.C. E N0v.28, 1866. Mr. G. Potter, the chairman of the Demonstra tion Committee, waited, by appointment, on Sir R . Mayne to submit the preliminary programme pre. pared by the committee, and to give and receive suggestions thereon. The Chief Commissioner, who was accompanied by Captain Harris, went carefully over the pro gramme with Messrs. Potter and Hartwell, and some important alterations were agreed upon with refe rence to the formation of the procession in St. James's Park. Instead of the Mall only, the procession will be allowed to occupy the Birdcage -walk and the sweep round from the. Duke of York's steps to Story's Gate. This will give much greater facilities to the marshals in forming the procession, and enable the men to get off the ground at least one hour earlier. The procession, en route, will keep the left hand side of the road. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT .THE LICENSED VIC rUALLEftS' ASYLUM.

The cheering which greeted his Royal Highness's appearance having subsided the stone was laid with all due honours, his Royal Highness having placed in a cavity beneath it the coins of the realm, together with corn, oil, and wine. Mr. Smalley, the munificent contributor tc% the Asylum, then read to his Royal Highness a congratulat ory address. His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows :—Gentlemen I thank you for your address, containing as it does such warm expressions of loyalty and attachment to th e Queen's throne and person, which I shall not fail to lay before her Majesty. I thank you especially for the kind feeling towards myself which you have evinced, and for the warm manner in which you have received me to-day. I need scarcely say how gladly I accepted your invitation to take part in this ceremony, prompted as I am in the de sire, entertained by all the royal family, to further, by their presence and support, the interests of all institutions which, like this asylum, tend to alleviate suffering and distress. (Cheers.) It only remains for me now to wish miry success to the institution which is so fitly to bear the name of its munificent founder, and the first stone of which I have had so much pleasure in laying this morning. The band in attendance then struck up the National Anthem, and his Royal Highness then retired amidst the cheers of the vast assemblage. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT CHA.THAPIL (This Day.)
