MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Now that the requirements for the end of the quarter have been fully satisfied, the commercial community are providing for the engagements fall ing due on the 4th, and the Money Market therefore still presents an active appearance. The brokers, however, are more willing to negotiate first-class paper upon slightly reduced terms, and 41 per cent. is the general rate for short dated bills. A further influx of £9,000 in bar gold, and 11,000 sovereigns, took place at the Bank on Saturday. Messrs. J. 11. Schroder and Co. have announced the payment of the dividend on the 4i per cent. Swedish Government Loan of 1864 for £,2,223,000 on the 15th inst. The shareholders of the Land Italian Coal Com pany have passed special resolutions for winding up the company voluntarily, and appointing Mr G. A. Cape, accountant, liquidator. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per Douro, the following report, dated Morro Velho, August 29 : Produce, 2d division of August, 10 days, 15,492 oitavas ; yield, 9,567 oitavas per ton. The coupons on the Consolidated Bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway are announced for payment on the 15th inst. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 47c. Two o'CLocK. The English Stock Market has shown symptoms of activity and firmness in prices. The funds have recovered from their late depression, and Consols have improved to 89+ I for money, and to 89} for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87 / ; India Stock, 211 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 105 ; ditto Enfaced 4 per Cents., 83 ; and ditto 5/ per Cents., 105/. In the Foreign Stock Market there is no change of importance. Turkish 5 per Cents. have ad- vanced k, to 31} ; and Mexican have receded f, 161 1 ; but Greek remain at 141 151 ; Spanish Passive, at 23 4 ; the Certificates at 15 i ; and Italian 561 1. The only alteration that has occurred in the market for American Securities has been a decline in United States 5-20 Bonds of Qto 701 ; Erie shares remain at 771 ; and Illinois, 47f /. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures have continued steady at 65 67 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 46f 47k. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and prices generally have shown an upward movement. Great Northern and Metro politan have each advanced f ; Midland, / ; and Great Western, North Western, North British, and South Eastern, each 1 ; while Great Eastern have declined I. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very inac tive, and show little change as regards values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain in very moderate request.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1866. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK LANb. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and the value of good and fine dry produce had an upward tendency. Fine barley was firm and commanded high rates. For other articles there was a steady demand, on rather higher terms. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and higher prices are obtained. All descriptions of spring corn are selling at full quotations. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flour had increased, and that an advance had taken place iu prices. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 16,461 quarters of wheat, 7,460 barley, 23,023 oats, 1,400 beans, 542 linseed, 1,063 cake and oilseeds, 2,888 maize, 114 sundry seeds, and 635 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very tnoder ate, and the condition of the pro duce was but middling. The trade for all qualities ruled firm, and high prices were demanded ; but the demand was far from active, and sales progressed slowly, at, for the most part, the prices of Monday last. In some instances fine dry samples commanded rather more•money. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat• For most qualities there was a fair demand, and last Mon day's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full quotations. The supply of barley on sale was verymoderate, and the barley trade was firm, at extreme rates. The malt trade was firm in the extreme, and fresh prices were obtained. There was a good demand for oats, at an improvement in value of ls. per quarter for Monday last. The market was fairly supplied, chiefly with foreign produce. Very few beans were on offer, and fully late prices were obtained. Peas fully supported late rates. The market was scan tily supplied. There was a moderate demand for flour, and prices ruled firm. East India linseed and rapeseed moved off steadily, at full prices ; but in other seeds very little business was transacted. Tares were a dull inquiry. Cakes were in dull request at quite late rates. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASIIRE.

However, as the sales progressed the weather changed, and we re ceived very gloomy accounts respecting the harvest in the north. The upward movement in prices, therefore, re ceived a oheck. With finer weather confidence returned, and the market again became very animated, while at the close of the auctions the prices realised were fully equal to those current at the opening. The chief transactions were on Yorkshire account, and of the quantity offered-138,068 bales—fully two-thirds were taken for home use.

Sir William Mansfield's action on the " find ing" and " sentence" of the court-martial on Capt. Jervis deserves special attention. The circum stances are such a glafing outrage on all our ideas of justice that it is more than probable that an outcry will be raised throughout the country. In a celebrated civil case in Calcutta, involving the honour of some military men, a Judge-Advo cate-General, when examined on oath, stated that he lived by the breath of the Commander-in-Chief, and knew no law but his will. Sir William Mans field has willed that Captain Jervis should be ruined, and being a man of great ability and strong determination he has thus far succeeded in crushing hisfoe. We say foe, because, in spite of the,difference of their stations, Sir William Mansfield has shown even in court so strong an animus against this gen tleman that the President felt compelled to call him to order. This fact stands on the proceedings of the court, while it is notorious that the " charge" arose from a squabble in the chief's household, touching the expenditure for sauces, pickles, and tongues. Sir William being the author of the charges, being the individual injured by the alleged defalcation of his " aide"—being the principal wit ness—was manifestly not the person to confirm the proceedings of the court. The finding acquits the prisoner of the charges affecting his character as an honest man, but brings him in guilty of the insubor dination, arising from the indignation with which he met such gross imputations. Captain Jervis has, under extreme provocation, acted indiscreetly ; and the question before the English public is, whether such action, under such circumstances, deserves the punishment his accuser has meted out to him ? Of all tribunals a court martial requires the closest revision. The officers who compose it are generally ignorant alike of the laws of equity, and, worse still, of the laws of evi dence. Officers commanding regiments were clearly not the proper members to sit on such a trial. In the first place, the inclination of smaller chiefs is to support the greater chief in the exercise of his despotic authority. To sway with the iron hand, and by the will of the ruler, is more or less the leaning of persons so placed. To crush faction and opposition under the heel is the clear tendency of military power. We have no hesitation in adding, that an injury was done to the public service by withdrawing from their work five officers then in the actual command of regiments, and we fear the reason was because the intelli gence of the Commander-in-Chief showed him the truth of what we state. Nor is this all. These officers come directly under his authority. It is probable he will inspect each of their regiments during the winter. If a Judge-Advocate-General lives by the breath of his military chief, much more so does the commander of a regiment. The in stinct, then, of a large number of the court was for the chief and against the prisoner ; and, worse still, if the 'Commander-in-Chief be vindictive their in terests were involved. It is true the vote or opinion of any particular member is not recorded ; still men who live by the breath of another would always in such cases be apt to act with extreme prudence. We maintain that in such a case the members should have been selected from the field officers of regiments not in command. We are not aware whether the prisoner raised any objection to the members composing the court, but we feel confident that had he done so on the grounds we have ad vanced his objections would have been at once overruled. While we consider the court ill qualified for an impartial finding, we object in told to the revision and confirmation of its proceedings by the real prosecutor. Imagine a judge sitting on a bench to try a man whom he had accused of swin dling him, and one, too, who had hitherto lived in his house on terms of intimacy with him. Imagine this judge descending from the bench into the wit ness-box to give his evidence against the prisoner, and again taking his seat to receive the_verdict of the jury. Further, suppose that every juryman held his office under the supervision of the judge, and we have the case much as it stood in the trial of Captain Jervis. If the jury found the prisoner guilty only of insolence to the judge and re commended him to mercy, and if the judge passed the full sentence of the law on the prisoner, while he censured the jury for their " re commendation," we would have this Simla case com plete. If these be English ideas of jurisprudence, we have a very mistaken notion of the laws of this country. Our own impression was that the " pro ceedings" would be sent home to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cambridge, for his action the Indian Chief declining, under the peculiar circumstances, to avail himself of his legal authority. Had Sir William read the leading article in the Times, it is probable that he would have paused before he committed himself to such a decision. That journal has distinctly stated that, after a careful perusal of the evidence, it had arrived at a conclusion fa vourable to the prisoner, and it is not likely that that great power will allow so extraordinary a sentence to pass unchallenged. If the Times takes it up, and holds the view we have expressed, the greatest folly Sir 'William will have committed will have been his last official act in this case. A very light effort of a power that sways empires will be required to crush an Indian Commander-in- Chief, and Heaven help Sir William Mansfield if the Thunderer comes down in wrath on his head. —Anglo-American Times. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was extensively supplied with foreign stock in fair average condition. The demand ruled steady, and the quotations were supported. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts was moderate, but there were several head on offer from last week. Good and prime stock moved off steadily at full quotations. Inferior breeds, however, were a dull inquiry at late rates. Th• general top figure was 5s to 4s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,500 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 various broeds ; from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers. There were no arrivals from Scotland. There was a falling off in the supply of English sheep, both as to number and quality. Good and prime breeds moved off steadily at, in some instances, an advance in prices of 2d per 81bs. Inferior sheep were a slow inquiry at previous currencies. The best Downs and half-brads produced 68 2d per 81bs. Valves—the, supply of which was moderate—changed hands slowly on former terms, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per bibs. Prime small pigs were in good request, at extreme quo tations ; otherwise the pork trade was hoavy,at last week's currency.

BOW-STREET. Thomas Gib alm•ivate in the Fusilier Guards, was • placed at the bar chatgod with stealing a watch. From the evidence of police-constable Picton, 101 F, it appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were seen together last night in the Strand, and afterwards to go down Buckingham-street, with their arms round each others neck. Shortly after he again mot the prosecutor, and seeing that he was very drunk, he pointed out to him that his watch-guard was hanging loose, and then he found out that his watch had been taken, upon which the soldier ran away. He was pursued and eventually taken into custody in Chandos-street. A witness named Perry said ho was standing at the corner of Buckingham street, last night, and saw the soldier running away pur sued by two persons. He observed him stoop down and put something on the ground, after which he (witness) went to the spot and found the watch, which tho prosecu tor identified as his property. The soldier said he was not the person who had stolen the watch; that he had not been in the prosecutor's com pany at all last evening; and that the whole thing was a mistake as far as he was concerned. The prosecutor had been walking about and treating three soldiers, but ho was not one of them. Mr. Flowers said the evidence was quite sufficient for him to send the matter for trial at the sessions. The prisoner was Committed for trial. Francis Knight and Mary Brennan were charged with having in their posisession two valuable oil paintings, which had been stolen from Mr. Thomas Warren, picture dealer, of Broker's-alley.

On getting up he found the shutters had been forced open and seven paintings stolen. Two of the paintings had been found in the possession of the pri soners, and the only explanation they could give was that they had been left at their lodgings by a person for safety. The prisoners were remanded for further inquiry. MARLBOROUGH STREET.

The municipal authorities have assigned them lodg ings, and a subscription has been opened for their benefit ; and notwithstanding the scarcity of money, of which every one complains, the contributions have been abundant.

The former never contemplated the removing of his stud from Danebury and placing it under the care of a Curragh trainer; nor has Lord Westmorland the remotest, intention of sending all his horses to Cliff. At the same time, we have Lord Westmorland's authority to give the most unqualified contradiction to the statements in another paper, respecting Potomac's trial with Rama. Sir Robert Bulkeley's filly has not been tried with Rama or any other of Lord Westmorland's horses; and except when galloped with Pamunkey in the spring, before going to Newmarket, was never stripped in her life. In reference to the training reports from Findon, wherein Gretna, Indian Star, Merry Hart, and Spangle, have been recently returned as doing work there, we have to state that Gretna has never been to Findon ; whilst Indian Star has been on the sick list for some time past, in consequence of an injury to his mouth. Merry Hart broke down at Warwick, and was turned out of training at the time ; and Spangle was given away at the Worcester Summer meeting! —The Sporting Gazette. AQUATICS.

ANGLING IN THE COQUET. —Perhaps not 1::.• the memory of the very oldest local man has there been any thing like such an autumnal angling season in this far famed river since the recent Salmon Fisheries Act. The river has swarmed with Salmon, and the disciples of " Old Isaac" have had rare sport; as many as twelve salmon have been killed to the rod, and there are few who have thrown a line who have not been rewarded by an exciting run and a full creel. On Monday, at Felton , Mr. W. Dob son, of Thirston, the Coquet's prince of anglers, performed a feat unparalleled, we believe, in piscatorial history. About 4 p.m., while angling on the Felto n Casts, below the bridge, he simultaneously hooked two fish with his well known "tiny" rod, only 18oz. in weight; and his skill was put to the test—" he had a long pull and a hard pull," and an exciting chase. Howeve r, b y most dexterous manoeuv ring, he managed to land his prey, when ono proved to be a 2 'lain other f t r h e e h waters tro ut , we i g hing 411bs, and measuri ng b u ll trout, weighing %lbs. This is a feat, we vent ure to say, which may not be rivalled once A N OLD-FASWONE.D GARDENER.—" PM goi ng into the garden , Stock," said I, " to get a fresh posy for my was a b Aunt." This was an indiscreet speech. "Ah !" growled Stock, " the misses she don't want no posies out of thi s ar d e n. Not now, she don't." " 0 yes, she does, Stock. g oes stoc k. She thinks uo flowers so sweet as her owII. right there, m ore there bain't. None. The missus is there, Miss Margrit. I knows summuti about flowers, or I ought to it, and 111 'fy all England to grow sweeter flowers nor oum. But it ain't sweetness now, nor yet completeness, as is the hobject wi' some. It's to have 'em wallopin' big uns. That's the hobjeet . You grow your flowers wallopers, an' you'll do." "I don't thinkthat, Stock." " Well, Miss Margrit, I ain't a goin' to try it, whether or no. I allus done my dooty, and I allus means to. I say as them flowers as yout , Master Ley brings hero is wallopers and nothin' else but wallopers. And I say, as ono o' the 'lest, that I shan't find no wallopers where I'm a goin' to. Me —and a few m ore —we shan't be called upon to keep company y with wallopers."—Aunt Margaret's Troubles.

FLOGGING GAROTTERS.--.Three prisoners, named Daniel and David Bryant, and William Prendegist, who were convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to be flogged, prior to their undergoig terms of imprisonment and penal servitude, for robberies in the streets accompanied by personal violence, underwent the most unpleasant and painful portion of their punish ment on Saturday in Newgate. The flogging was inflicted with a cat-o'-vino tails by Calcraft ; and the two Bryants, who are stout, stalworth young men, although they howled and made a great outcry while the flogging was being in flicted, did notappear to be very mu ch affected by it. The other culprit was a slim and apparently meek young man; and although they were all sentenced to receive forty stripes each. Mr. Gibson, the s urgeon of the prison, wh o was present and superinten ded the infliction of the punish ment, felt himself justified in ordering Calcnift to desist after the prisoner had received twenty lashes only. After the infliction of the flogging the three prisoners were taken back to their cells, and when they are in a fit con dition they will be removed to undergo the remainder of their sentence. ;37 . too et I 20 'O4 too 1 100 10 100 1, 100 , SSE 100 tOO 100 all 100 100 2.1.0 294 2.11.6 2.14:0 8.3.0 3.t►.0 10.8. t 5S 5 17.0 :9 i 123 4 411
