BIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLock. A more subd ue d an d sa ti s f actory feeling prevails in monetary circles, and as evidence of this fact the brokers are evincing a desire to secure the best com mercial bills at the official minimum of 7 per cent. There is still, however, some anxiety existing as to the progress discount affairs may take ; and though it is believed that the present high rate may prove sufficient to check any extraordinary demand for money, it would not create astonishment if a further advance were deemed necessary. Within the last few days there has been less ani mation in the market for foreign and colonial pro duce. Sugars have maintained former rates, while superior descriptions of coffee have slightly advanced. A moderate business has been done in the new season's teas, at full rates, while rice has been dull. In the tallow market prices, after rising to a con siderable extent, have since receded, consequent upon speculative sales induced by the rise in the value of money. The half-year's interest due on equipment mort gage bonds of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada will be payable on and after Monday next. A meeting of the shareholders of the Continental - Union Gas Company, Lewis Cubitt, Esq., in the chair, was held to-day, when a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum was declared. The subscription list for the London issue of the National Bank of Australasia will close on Satur day next, the 14th inst. Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Renter were 67f. 80c. Firm ; rather animated. A further improvement has taken place in the market for the English Funds. The transactions have not been numerous, but the public, as inves tors and speculators, have bought freely--hence an advance of 1 per cent. Consols are 88i. s for money, 891 1 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 861 ; Exchequer Bills, ss. to Os. dis ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 103 ; and ditto 4 per Cents. 961. Foreign Stocks are a little flatter, owing to a few sales. Turkish Consolides are 481 ; Mexican, ex all bonds, 251 ; the New, 241 4 ; Greek, 20 1 ; Spanish Passive, 281 a ; do. Certificate, 13/ 141 ; Italian, 634 64 ; Confederate Loan, 6 8 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 31 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been dull, but prices generally show an upward tendency. Brighton and Metropolitan have each improved £1 ; L ancashire and Yorkshire, and North Western, e ach 10s. ; and South Eastern, ss. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is little C hange of importance. American Securities have not been in good re quest, and quotations are generally unsteady. United States 5-20 Bonds are 681 4 ; Erie shares, 68 ; and Illinois, 82/ 1. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very quiet. London Bank of Mexico have declined to I _4 ; M ex i can Bank to 251 ; Bank of Egypt to 30i ; Financial Bay C ompany are dealt in at 151 ; London Financial at 224 ; and Overend, Gurney, and Co. 1 , to * 2 ; Gale's P rotection Gunpowder Co. is quoted i 1 Prem. ; Allan' s Co. 1-3- pm. ; Transatlantic Telegraph Merchants' Company, 11 11- pm.; London and Australian Transatlanti c Steam Agency, 111 pm. ; and Ship Company, par 1 pm.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A FRENCIIMAN CHARGED WITH HAVING IN HIS Pos- SESSION COUNTERFEIT FRENCH COlN.—Augustus Villemot, commission agent, of No. 34, Theobald's-road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Sergeant Druscovich, of the detective department, Scotland-yard, with having in his possession several counterfeit coins of the empire of France, with intent to utter the same. Mr. Charles Albort, tho interpreter, attended to interpret tho evidence. Sergeant Druscovich, of the detective departmCnt, Scot land-yard, said—About six or eight months ago I received information of the prisoner and another being engaged in passing counterfeit French coins. Yesterday, having kept observation on his movements, I saw him at a money changer's window take something out of one pocket and put it into another. I followed him about, and saw him go to the Cafd de L'Etoile, in Great Windmill-street. Ho there played cards for some time, and then went to the back part of the hotel. With tho assis tance of Sergeant Shore, I followed and stopped him, and, on searching him, I found in his possession several packs of cards, tickets, and eight pieces of 5 francs each, wrapped in a paper, all of which aro counterfeit. lie asked me what I wanted to do with the money, and tried to get it away from me. He wished his worship to remand the case to a future day for the attendance of the French Consul-General. Mr. Tyrwhitt having referred to the Act, said that he found that if a person had more than five pieces of coun terfeit foreign. coin in his possession he was liable to the penalty under the act. He should, therefore, remand the prisoner. The prisoner has been known to the police for some time as a notorious card-sharper. ME SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1865. is supposed, may surround Toungso Penlow, and the latter would occupy Punakha. Circumstantial statements are given by the Calcutta press of the terms embodied in the treaty, which is to be dictated at Punakha. The principal heads of the agreement are as follows:—The Deb and Dhurm Rajahs are formally to acknowledge the cession of the Bengal Dooars and the lower Hills, a British commis sioner to trace out the boundary line ; Mr. Eden's extorted treaty to be surrendered, and a rajah is to .be deputed to make formal apology at Calcutta for the indignities put upon that British envoy in 1864 ; all natives of British ter ritory held in bondage in Bhootan are to be liberated, and a treaty, pledging the Deb and Dhurm Rajahs to amity in the future, is to bo signed by them. The Supreme Govern ment, on its part, agrees to pay an annuity of Rs. 20,000 for the surrendered territory, that sum to bo increased to Rs. 50,000 if the Bhootanese refrain from aggression. Re ports of sickness amongst the native troops at Gowhatty and Putla Kowa have ceased ; so it is probable that the coolness following the rains has restored the health of the soldiers, or else that the greater part:of them have, for the present., been withdrawn. We announce pith the deepest regret the death of the lion. Mr. Justice Kinloch Forbes, one of the judges of her Majesty"s High Court, which occurred at Poona on the 31st ultimo, the result of an affection of the brain. The sad news does not come upon us unexpectedly, for his illness had been a subject of sincere regret in Bombay for the last ten days, and everywhere the strongest feeling of sympathy was expressed when his illness became a subject of con versation. About fourteen days ago he made his last ap pearance on the bench, when he attended to conclude the hearing of a case which had on a previous occasion been opened before him. On this occasion he looked so unwell that his appearance was the subject of remark in the court, and he left immediately after the case had been concluded. He went to Poonafor change of air and relief from his daily work ; but unhappily no relief came. His illness con tinued to increase ; it was soon seen to be of a nature which held forth no hope of recovery ; and he gradually sank till, as we have said, he quietly passed away on the night of Thursday last. A very important decision of Mr. Justice Anstey's, by which it would appear that more than ono representation of a time-bargain share is invalid, is likely to bring about some united action on the part of thousands who were unable to " take up "on July first. We observe that an advertisement requests the time-bargainers to compare dates together, so that when it is found more than one pre sentation of a share can be traced, all but ono presentee will be cleared from legal obligation. This may be a re lief to the feelings of many, and it is not for us to dispute the soundness of Mr. Justice Anstey's law ; but it is still questionable whether the moral obligation to meet a bar gain is in any way weakened by the accidental circum stance of the commodity agreed for being offered to a third party also. We ,learn that the Taptee viaduct, on the G. I. P. Railway, is already so far completed, that the contractors' engines and trains have commenced to run over it from Bhosawul to Berhampoor, and that it is hoped that before the close of this year we shall see the trains of the G. I. P. Railway running through the jungles of Asseer ghur to Kundwah ; thus bringing Bombay within easy access of Indore and Agra. Since the heaviest of the monsoon has passed cotton has begun to arrive in Bombay, especially from the coast, and shipments are being pressed forward. The shares in banks, Back Bay, Elphinstone, and other undertakings, have made a rapid, and, in case of the more substantial stockS, a con siderable advance. It has been feared that speculative ex citement was again rising in Bombay ; but, with some special exceptions, the abortive schemes have been treated with neglect. There has, however, been evidence pre sented in an incidental manner that a speculative spirit still deranges the views of business men in Bombay. Pro posals hare been made for the consolidation of several of the newer banking concerns, in order to form one strong bank that shall remain under local management. The banks named include the Bank of India, the Royal Bank, the Bombay City Bank, the Indo-Egyptian, and the Bom bay Joint-Stock Corporation; but, besides these, some of the proposals include companies of a much weaker de scription, many of which have never done any genuine banking business. In reference to the loss of her Majesty's ship Hugh Lindsay, the same journal says : _ _ We regret having to announce the total loss of this vessel on the night of the 18th ultimo, as sho was coming out of Bassidore Roads. Bassidore is a port on the island of Kishm, in the Persian Gulf. The Hugh Lindsay's back is broken, and her engines entirely destroyed ; by latest advices she is stated to be fast breaking up. Fortunately, no lives were lost, and the passengers' luggage has all been saved. She had on board several telegraph officials who had been relieved from duty in the Gulf, and were en route to join the Guader and Kurrachee stations. The Amber witch left Kurrachee early yesterday to bring on the pas sengers. Tho Hugh Lindsay is mentioned in Alison's history of Europe as being the first steamer that conveyed an overland mail from Bombay to Suez. She is now 37 or 38 years old, and has done much good service in most parts of India. She was also, we believe, the first steamer that entered the Persian Gulf, and was of teak wood, built in Bombay. The cause of the accident is not yet known, and we think we shall have to await the return of the Amberwitch to ascertain it and further particulars. The Delhi Gazette remarks : A correspondent travelling via Bareilly, Furruckabad, and Cawnpore, informs us that he passed thousands of pilgrims wending their weary way to the wonderful bridge lately constructed in some mysterious way near Rampore. It seemed to him as if all the old women, the blind, the halt, and the leprous of the country were trudging along, bent on being cured. Faqueers were distributing by pinches the sacred earth of which the bridge is composed, each recipient swallowing his or her share, in the full belief that relief to their respective grievances must result. Hundreds of maunds of the earth had been carried away—a great deal more, in fact, than composed the bridge. is there no gentle little section in the Penal Code under which the impostors who started the bridge, which has yieldeda harvest so rich, could be punished for inducing the poor deluded creatures who flock to the place to spend their hardly earned money for their special behoof ? Perhaps it would be considered an infringement of neutrality ! The Friend of India says : We believe that Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, who commanded during the disgraceful retreat from Dewangiri, has been called on to send in his papers and resign. CRUELTY ON BOARD SHlP.—Another case of vio lence to a boy on board ship came before the Green wich magistrates yesterday morning. The depositions of the boy, who is lying in the Dreadnought hospital ship, with his back broken, and without the slightest hope of recovery, was taken by the magistrate, and was to the following effect :--" I am seventeen years old, and was brought up on board the Marine Society's ship Warspite. From that ship I was apprenticed to Capt. John Brame, of the Iludgill, collier, belonging to Newcastle. I had only been on board three days, and on the night of the third day, about twelve o'clock, I was standing on deck. One of the men was passing a rope along the deck, and he said something to me, speaking in a north-country lan guage that I did not understand. I did not say a word to him, and because I did not do what I suppose he wanted me to do, he struck me on the back of the neck with his fist, and the blow knocked me down into the middle hold. I was standing close to the hold, and the rope the man was handling ran between mo and the hold. I remember nothing after that until I found myself here. The man had not spoken to me more than once. It was dark, and I could not see which of the crew it was who did it. All the crew 'were on the deck at the time, and consisted of not more than six persons besides the captain. The ship was lying off the ballast wharf at Gravesend ; I am sure the blow was struck intentionally." The man who struck the blow is not in custody. A BULLOCK AT THE ToP OF A HOUSE.—Yester day (Monday) morning as a bullock, the property of Messrs. Snook and Son, butchers, of Salisbury, was being driven along the Butcher-row it suddenly turned round and darted into the house of Mr. E. Morris, grocer. Being unable to turn in the narrow passage in which it found itself the animal proceeded up an equally circum scribed staircase to the top of the house (three stories high), and then ran into a small room, used for storing cheese, facing the Market-place. By this time several hundred persons had congregated in front of the house, and considerable excitement was manifested, as the bullock was rather a wild one, and it was believed that it would be quite impossible for it even to get out of the room, as the piles of cheese only allowed just sufficient space for it to stand, much less to turn round. In this dilemma it was proposed to shoot the animal, and a ladder was placed across the house and a gun procured for the purpose, but it was afterwards found that if the first shot should not prove fatal a scene of an alarming nature would ensue, to say nothing of the disagreeable inconveni ence of making a slaughter-house in a store filled with cheese. It was determined, consequently, on second con sideration, to try other means before adopting this last re source. It was next therefore suggested that if the window could be got open the poor brute would in all probability jump out, notwithstanding the great height. No one, however, seemed inclined to run the risk of mounting the ladder and being tossed off again in order to raise the sash, and consequently this had to be accomplished by means of a grapnel let down from the roof. The bullock, however, when this new mode of egress was opened to him, instead of jumping right out of the window at once and breaking its neck in the descent, as was expected, contented itself by forcibly ejecting a large tray and box, by means of its horns, into the street, and putting its head out of the win dow, quietly surveyed the spectators, to the intense amuse ment particularly of the juvenile portion of the assemblage. Another proposition was ultimately made, which proved more successful, and that was to knock a hole through the wall of an adjoining room and to get at him by means of j sticks in that way. This was done, and by a violent effort the bullock, after knocking down and trampling on the cheese, got round and forced his way down stairs again into the street, where he w 8,5 secured and driven to the slaughterhouse and killed. WESTMINSTER. SWINDLING SHOPKEEPERS.—Mrs. Mary Jane Richardson, a tall and handsomely dressed woman, was charged upon a warrant with fraud in obtaining goods of value from the firm of Youngman and Hayman, silk mercers and drapers Sloane-street, Chelsea. Mr. James Lewes, of the firm of Lewes and Lewes, ad dressing the magistrate, said he appeared for the prosecu tion, and entertained no doubt that he should fully estab lish the charge upon which the prisoner had been appre hended. no might father add that this was only ono of the many other charges which would be exhibited of a like nature against the prisoner by different shopkeepers whom she had defrauded. Prisoner was a married woman, but had not lived with her husband for a long time, and he was suing in the Divorce Court for a separation. On Thursday afternoon the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Alfred Hayman, who carried on business as the firm of Youngman and Hayman, and there selected goods to the value of between £3O and £4O, which she desired to be sent home to the address she gave _Mulberry-terrace House, Harewood-square. Amongst the articles was a silk dress value £7, which she requested to be allowed to take away with her to her dressmaker, as she was anxious to have it immediately made up. She then wrote her address, and gave a reference to a well known hand, and she was then permitted to take away the dress and some gloves in a cab. When the goods were taken on the following morning to the place stated it was found that she did not reside there, and that Mr. Hayman had been cheated. When the application for the present warrant was made and appeared in the newspapers, Mr. Hayman was overwhelmed with communications from different tradesmen who had been similarly treated. Her husband had discarded her for her profligate habits, and there was no pretence for saying that she lived at the house where she had given her address, and upon the strength of which representation, confirmed by the name of Richardson in the " Court Guide," the various shopkeepers had parted with their property. The prisoner had been convicted of drunkenness and such like conduct, and a caution had been printed and issued by her husband to tradesmen, with a view of pro tecting them. Still she was going about and by falsehood and fraud obtaining goods. Prisoner—l have been acting under the advice of my solicitor, who told me to go to different tradesmen's shops and get what I wanted, and go to different hotels to lodge. Mr. Selfe—l should like to see the solicitor who recom mended you to do so. Prisoner—My husband has not made me any allowance. What was I to do ? Mr. Selfe—Told the truth to the tradesmen. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner was apprehended at the Albemarle Hotel at one o'clock this morning. There was only 2s. Bd. found on her. Prisoner—l have had no money lately from my husband. Mr. Schell, proprietor of the hotel, showed that she had given respectable references when she came there a week ago. She had paid nothing whatey6r. Mr. Hayman—There are tweniy tradesmen hero who have to complain of her. Ono stood up and was about to make a statement, but it was considered better to defer it. Mr. Selfe (to prisoner)—You are remanded for a week. THAMES. A SAILOR WRECKED ON SHORE.—William Daniels, a sun-dried, weather-beaten seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget on a charge of wilful damage. Mr. John Skinner, a shopkeeper, of 154, High-street, Shadwell, said the prisoner fell into his shop through the window last night and broke three panes of glass. The frame and all was carried away. He could not say the prisoner was drunk or actuated by malice or He believed the occurrence was not intentional—it was an ac cident. He was much alarmed by the sudden intrusion of the prisoner into his shop through the window. The Prisoner--I was brought up all standing, and pitched in the gentleman's shop head on, damaging my larboard cheek and one of my fins. I struck on a piece . of cabbage leaf, and although I was not top-heavy, your honour, nor even three sheets in the wind, I could not heave-to, and overboard I went, carrying away that old gentleman's glass. George Richards, hairdresser, of No. 54, high-street, Shadwell, saw the sailor slip and fall into Mr. Skinner's shop. His head went first and his heels after him. When . the sailor was picked up he was a complete wreck. Mr. Paget said he had no power at all in the case. It was not proved that the sailor wilfully broke the window and frame. It was accidental damage. The prisoner was answerable for his own carelessness, but not before a ma gistrate. Mr. Skinner—He refused to give any address, and he put me to much trouble. Mr. Paget—l can't compel him to give you his address. The prisoner—l intend to cast anchor at the Sailors' Home in Well-street. _ _ Mr. Paget said the complainant and his witness had expressly declared the damage was not intentional. The accident might have been unavoidable. If the sailor was tripped uplby any substance on the pavement ho was to be pitied, not censured or punished. If the prisoner had been careless ho could be summoned before Sir Walter Riddell at the IVhitechapel County Court, who would give redress. Mr. Skinner—He is nowhere ; where am Ito find a sailor if Ido summon him ? _ _ Mr. Paget—lt is bad enough to havo your windows broken. It would be much worse if I broke the law. The prisoner has not committed any wilful damage, and I will allow him to be discharged. United States of America Debt• MEETING THIS DAY. A public meeting of the holders of the bonds, stocks, and shares on which coupons and interest of which are now in arrear, owing to the late civil war in America, was held this day, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of con sidering the present position of those securities, and for the formation of a committee to protect their interests. Mr. E. HAZLEWOOD presided, and expressed his regret at the absence of his brother, Mr. J. Hazlewood, who was prevented by domostic calamity from being present. There was a great necessity for such an organisation as was now proposed for the protection of the interests of the bondhold ers, and to give them an authoritative position in America, and to restore them to their former status. Having gone through the accounts owed to bondholders by the different States of America, ho said that there was no apprehension that their debts would not be paid in consequence of the emancipation of the slaves. For 30 years the debt had been punctually paid. He contended that the effect of the abolition of slavery in the South would have the effect of introducing the white population into that part of America to the manifest advantage of the productive power of those States, which, up to the present time, had not been fully developed. What he proposed was that they should fund all the arrears up to the present time into one debt, the coupons to be paid in this country, and to have a sinking fund to pay tho debt in twenty-years. This proposition did not originate with the proposers of that meeting, but emanated from a corporation in the United States. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving the appointment of a committee, consisting of gentlemen who were interested largely in the present subject. Dr. Bracx, in the course of an able speech, combated the theory of the general insalubrity of the Southern States, Americanshands werehi t white a men. noble H aSouth the He c econtended that o that would the and contended that sl avery was t h e curse of the Statea, race, , and a they also b which would b ecome i mmensely more valuable in the last to do anything dishonourable towards those to whom they were justly indebted. After a short discussion it was agreed that the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, be ap pointed, viz.—tb.e Chairman, Mr. E. Ilazlewood, Mr. Scholefield, N.Y., Dr. Black, and Mr. G. Gowan. Other resolutions were agreed to giving effect to tho wishes of the meeting, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.---Within the last few days the cofferdam fronting Somerset House, and ex tending to the west end of No. 2 contract, near Waterloo bridge, has been completed and made water-tight. The dam at the eastern end is also fast approaching completion, and thus by the completion of both dams tho entire line of works will shortly be enclosed from the effects of the tide. THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the overland mail from Bombay we have received Calcutta and Bombay papers dated respectively the Ist and the Bth of September. The substance of the news was comprised in a tele gram . whi-.1 we published last Saturday. The following additional items of intelligence are from the Bombay Gazette : The agent of the G. I. P. Railway Company is about to propose to the postal authorities to run on express train through Bombay to Kundwah and Budhaira at the end of the year, within an hour or two of the arrival of the Eng lish mails, provided the Postmaster-General will contri bute towards the expenses. It is understood that Mr. C. Gonne is to act as Under Secretary to Government in the Legislatira Department, in room of Mr. Birdwood, on that gentleman's resignation. An amended scheme for the amalgamation of a number of the new banks in Bombay has been decided on. A now bill has been introduced into the Legislative Council to regulate and restrict the sale of poisons in the Bombay Presidency, in assimilation of the English Acts. The official title of the Accountant-General to the -Mili tary Department has been charged to that of Controller- General of Military Expenditure. A new club has been started at Poona to be called the Club of Western India. Her Majesty's steamer Hugh Lindsay was wrecked in the Persian Gulf on the 18th ult. No lives were lost. The vessels of the Anglo-Chinese squadron, which have been lying in Bombay harbour for the last 18 months, aro to be sold forthwith. It is again rumoured that Scinde is to bo transferred to the Punjab Government, but it is not expected to take place during Sir Bartle Frere's incumbency. The Ameer of Cabul is reported to have imprisoned Mahomed Raffeek Khan and another Sirdar on account of their being suspected of having been concerned in sowing the late discussions In the family. It is also stated that Sheik Aloe Khan is dead. A Persian letter has been received confirming the report of the occupation of Samarkand by a Russian army, and that a Russian and Persian envoy have bad a conference with the Ameer Sher Allee Khan at Candahar, and have induced him to return to Cabul instead of proceeding to Herat. There is a rumour that Colonel D. M. Stewart, deputy adjutant-general of the army, is to be appointed to the command of the force destined to enter Bhootan, with the rank of brigadier-general. _ _ It is rumoured that the Governor-General is once more moving the Home Secretary to allow the head-quarters of the Government to remain at Simla during the hot season as a permanent measure. It has now been officially settled that the Governor- General's camp will break up about the sth proximo, when his Excellency will proceed towards Lahore to hold the annual Durbar of the native chiefs. The trial of Raja Bligbejee Sing, of Mohana, in Oudh, commenced at Lucknow on the 17th ult. He is charged with rebellion, complicity in the murder of Europeans, &c. The disturbances at Bhawulpoor resulted in a battle be tween the insurgents, under Beyram Khan, and the Na wab's forces, commanded by Goolam Mahomed, near Chokea, Abra, which lasted from eight in the morning till eight at night. There were about 100 men killed and wounded altogether, all of whom, with the exception of 13, belonged to the insurgento. The leaders escaped and put their women to the sword to prevent their falling into the hands of the victors. With regard to the Durbar of the chiefs and Sirdars of the Deccan, held at Poona on the sth of September, by Sir Bartle Frere, the Bombay Gazette observes : His Excellency's text was education, and his pointed, plainspoken, and nervous remarks, which were delivered in blarathee, the language of the chiefs, were a scathing rebuke to the proud and unlettered men who had come up to their ancient capital to meet the representative of the race which had conquered them. Thirty years ago, said his Excel lency, he knew some of them, but such had been their stagnant and apathetic life, that they are not better in structed now than when his Excellency's acquaintance with them began. Sir Bartle Frere acknowledges that his personal and private influence over them has failed to awaken them to a sense of the magnitude and course of the events which are transpiring around them, and we confess we do not expect that his public rebuke will have much effect upon men who " can neither speak the language of their government," nor read nor write their own. It is well that it should be administered ; well that they should know the length and breadth of their short comings. It was never the intention of the English Government to preserve a native aristocracy of ignorance and pride ; and if not by legislation or policy, at least by the inevitable march of events, must they fall from their power and influence among their countrymen, and the re spect of the government which has preserved to awn their dignities and rights. Every year ought to make it make apparent to them that it is only by acquiring the language and some of the learning and knowledge of their conquerors that they or their descendants can ever retain their repute in India. Ms Excellency very forcibly pointed out to them that the old standards of nobility and the old regime of honour were passing away and that they must strive now to improve their own estates and the condition of their ryotsand take an active part in the administration and improvement of their country. The same journal contains the following respect ing the loss of the ship Eagle Speed at themouth of the Mutlah : The Eagle Speed left Port Canning on the morning of Sunday, 20th August, having on board 497 coolies who were being conveyed to Demerara. On Monday afternoon, while still in charge of a tug steamer, Lady Elgin, she struck in the western channel of the Mutlah, but was dragged off by the steamer, and anchored in the channel for the night. She continued to make so much water that signals of distress were made to tho tug. Shortly after midnight and by Tuesday afternoon, after unaccountable delay and mis management in the efforts to save the unfortunate creatures the tug steamed back to Port Canning, with, forsooth, the captain and crew of the Eagle Speed and with 207 of the coolies, leaving 290 coolies helpless and without any ono in supervision or authority over them on the sinking ves sel. Of these about 30 were subsequently saved, the rest, numbering 265, have perished. The catalogue of blunders seems to have numbered legion. 1. The crew of the Eagle Speed, numbering 25 men, is said, with the exception of five or six, to have been unfit for duty although shipped only a few days before sailing. 2. The tug did not ap proach the Eagle Speed till after dawn on Tuesday morn ing notwithstanding that signals of distress were shown after midnight. 3. Although it was known that the vessel was sinking, all her boats were not used, and those that were used were either wantonly and intentionally smashed by the lazy, cowardly crew who were sure of saving their own lives, or so carelessly handled that they very soon became unfit for further use. 4. The brutal European crew finally totally refused to exert themselves further, telling Captain Hoskins, the port-master of Port Canning, who happened to be on board the tug, and who appears to have been the only one that laboured zealously in saving those who were taken from the wreck, that " they would be -- if they would make another trip." 5. From the. first moment of the catastrophe till the tug left, everything like seamanship and order ceased on board the one vessel, and nothing like ingenuity or ear nestness, or even a comprehension of the magnitude of the disaster prevailed in the other. 6. The tug was not a first class steamer, and first class steamers are only allowed by the port regulations to tow coolie ships ; and 7, the pilot was not a master pilot, although the regulations require that master pilots only shall have charge of such vessels. To the list of blunders, of which the above are but a few, must be added several accidental circumstances which did not help to diminish the misfortune, such as rough weather in the channel, the bursting of a steam pipe on board the tug, the imperfect way in which the Mutlah is buoyed, &c. The several versions of the wreck do not conflict with each other in any main particular, but the inquiry which is ordered will bring to light the authen tic particulars, and show on whose shoulders the responsi bility rests. - - - With respect to the trial of Mr. Fraser the Bom bay Gazette says : Not the least among the striking results of that hasten ing to be rich which was the moving spirit of the late spe culative mania is the terrible illustration which it has been left to Calcutta to furnish within the last few days. Mr. A. B. Fraser, the agent for the Calcutta branch of the Indian Peninsula, London, and China Bank, has been found guilty, after a trial of three days' duration, of criminally misappro priating to his own uses a sum of over £16,000 belonging to the bank, and vitiating his account by the entry of a pre tended cheque which was devised to make his superiors at Bombay, to whom he had periodically to report the state of the funds, believe that there was a balance in his favour, instead of £16,000 at his debit. Fraser has lived in Calcutta for a period of 10 or . 12 years, but came from England to take the charge of the Calcutta branch of the bank about three months ago; and shortly after his arrival his brief course of speculation began. Ile was in supremo charge at Calcutta of the funds of the bank's branch there, and, pro bably, in the best faith, imagined that a loan to himself was as legitimate an operation as to another. Facilis decensus Arend, and Mr. Fraser no sooner trusted himself to the slippery gradient than his course downward into indis putable criminality vas rapid. It was strongly urged that it was his intention to restore the money, but the jury took the only view of the case that was properly open to them, and found him guilty. He was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The Times of India contains the following : Affairs in Bliootan still remain in uncertainty, with in distinct offers of peace from the Bhotaueso, and indefinite preparations for war on the part of the Supremo Govern ment. It is now said that Colonel D. M. Stewart, the De puty Adjutant-General, will take tho command should General Tytler's ill health forbid his directing the cam paign. The plan at present spoken of is to divide four of the seven thousand troops into two columns, ono for Eas tern end the other for Western Bhootan. The former, it SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY. The eagerly longed-for rain, gladdening to the heart of the trainer as well as agriculturist, and, indeed, every class of the community, has ushered in the Cesarewitch week. The Heath is no longer the dusty Sahara it was last meet ing, and though the long drought will require more mois ture than has fali-en to penetrate the hard ground, yet that dread of the racing man, small fields, will not this meeting be the rule. " The Cesarewitch Trial," as the £5O Plate over that course is called, is generally one of the principal features of the opening day, but this year, limited to four runners, with only Hippolyta to beat the moderate trio opposed . to her, there was very little interest in the event ; and very little "line" to be got as to the result of the great race to morrow. The Baron's mare won hard held, and Zephyr's chance is, therefore, a slightly improved one. Kilkenny, at the top weight, carried off the Handicap Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C. with great case, and Ambition, Miss Roland, and Sister to Amber made a good finish in the £5O Plate for 2-yr-olds, the former winning by a head. Ono of the most exciting events of the day was the Free Handi cap over the Rowley mile, in which Breadalbane gave Sydmonton 111 b., and showed his magnificent rate of speed by running his field to a standstill. The Cesarewitch betting underwent no very important change beyond a slight decline in Alabama's position, and the coming of Privateer and John Davis, the latter of whom is announced to be the Danebury representative. The French horse Vertugadin was largely supported bathe course of the afternoon at 33 to 1. The attendance was hardly so large as we have remem bered it, but the town is full, and a great influx is expected to-morrow. Handicap Plate of £5O, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Cesarewitch Course.

Hippolyta, with Threadbare at her girths, came on a couple of lengths in advance of Lizard and Pelios, who came on together to the ditch gap, when the Baron's filly came on in advance into the Abingdon Mile bottom, where Threadbare was beaten; and Lizard, joining Hippolyta, the pair finished the race home, the latter winning cleverly by a length.

Half-way in the cords Alice Lee and the favourite were beaten, when Regina and Camball, who had been in wait ing, made their effort, but failed to reach Lord Westmore land's colt, who won in a canter by three lengths; a like distance separated the second and third.

They ran thus to halfway in the cords, where Ambition and Miss Roland closed up with Sister to Amber. The three from this point ran so close a race home that it was not until the numbers were exhibited that it was believed Ambition, who ran the long est, had won by a bead, a short head separating the second and third; Alberta finished fourth, a couple of lengths in their rear, Fortunatus fifth, Isabella sixth, The Rector seventh, and Miss Harriette next. Then came close to gether the Miss Whip colt, Carthusian, and Mrs. Fitzher bert, the latter beaten off a long way. Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each; for 2 and 3-yr-olds. T.Y.C. 46 subs.

Quaker, on the lower ground, having a slight lead of Pantaloon, close up with whom, on the right, were Sydmonton, the favourite, and Tancredo. They ran in these positions to the Bushes, when the two Frenchmen were beaten, and Sydmonton then took a clear lead and came on with the running, with Pantaloon on his left and Breadalbano on his right, into the Abingdon Mile bottom, where Custance brought out the favourite, who had his opponents beaten half-way up the hill, and won in a canter by four lengths.

SPORTING INTELLIGENOE—This Day, NEWMARKET RACES THIS DA.T. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO. A scullers' race for the above amount (£5O aside) took place yesterday, and proved most remarkable. The com petitors were George Cannon, of Blaekwall, and Thomas Hoare, of Hammersmith, both watermen, of about the same age, Cannon having advantage over his opponent of half a stone in weight, which was counterbalanced by Hoaro possessing considerably more skill at handling the sculls than his opponent. Both had previously figured against some excellent men, and as they trained at rival houses, Hoare at Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and Cannon, at Harry Kelly's, the Bell Tavern, Putney, considerable interest was excited; steamers ware chartered to accompany the race, which were debsely crowded with the friends of the competitors, among whom betting was pretty animated, at 6 to 5 and guineas to pounds on Cannon. Mr. Ireland, of the London Rowing Club, had been previously appointed referee, and Mr. _ Messenger having been appointed ump ire for Cannon and d Mr. Wilcox for Hoare they got to st ations at five o'clock, in a blinding rain, which lasted all t he way, notw put the lugo a lit whichthetlem o r at e e t the finish n s i o eh gr t e h a i t e hadwthantuld the winner have been fastest race on record. After one attempt they get off, Cannon, who had the station, obtaining the l e ad , but in half-a-dozen strokes Tom Hoare rowed so fast e _ and well that, at the Star and Garter, he t m e :a_s i n n ea7 _lean Can non's longer strokes, however, Id h s favour. He began to come up with his oppo.nenht,. and after a tremen dous struggle went ahead, passing im y a clear length at Craven, where he took his opponents water. In these positions, Cannon perhaps increasing his lead, they rowed to the Crab-tree, when Hoare putting on a splendid spurt drew again on Cannon and over-slipped his stern at Ham mersmith -bridge. Both were now doing their very best,and it was long before Hoare could conquer his opponent. In the middle of Chiswick Eyott they were level, and then Hoare's more polished style began to tell. He gradually stole ahead in the rough water, and at the top of the Eyott succeeded in drawing clear, alter rowing one of the finest races oivecord for nearly three miles. After this the race was ever. At Barnes-bridge there were four lengths between them, Hoare u ltimately winning by five lengths in 23 minutes 16 seconds.

SIB,-1 am acquainted with an elderly medical gentle.. man who has seen much of this disease in the West Indies, Central and South America, also Russia, and is perfectly familiar with it. He has recently attended and cured part of a dairy of cows, 30 of which had died before he at tended. On his arrival two of the cows were in a very advanced stage of the disease—he applied his remedy, and in twelve hours they were convalescent, and in a few days were perfectly restored to health with a full flow of milk, which had previously entirely left them. The others affected were quickly restored to health, and the remaining cows, about twenty, had the remedy adminis tered, and were thereby prevented receiving the disease. He says, generally speaking, that all animals under his treatment will be cured in three days, and others prevented catching the disease, even when mixed with oth ers suffering from it in the most virulent form, (tad that no animal will be ever subject to it afterwards. Some weeks since he stated to me his conviction that if this disease was not suppressed, that not only sheep but all animals, and lastly, human beings, would be liable to its contamination—which appears to be already verified as to sheep—but that if his system wore to be generally adopted, it might be effectually and entirely driven out of England in a few months. He is willing to attend any diseased animals, and to-further prove the truth of his system. - I consider this most important information for the public, and if you should entertain the same opinion, per haps you will be good enough to insert it in your paper. This gentleman is over 80 years of age, and has re quested me to answer any applications that may be made, which I shall be happy to do. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, _ JOHN CURTIS.

CURIOUS MODE OF CONVEYING A BRIDE'S FOR TUNE.—During the first half of the eighteenth century a 'Whitby gentleman married a lady in Hull, who had the then large fortune of £lO,OOO, which was paid in guineas, and conveyed from Hull to Whitby in a cart or waggon, heaped up with straw, and accompanied by two men dressed as rustics, each armed with a formidable hayfork. THE ABSCONDING CONNECTICUT BANK CLERK. —Jeremiah Townsend, who was arrested at Liverpool for absconding with $lOO,OOO of the money of the Townsend savings bank at New Haven, Connecticut, was placed ort trial at New Haven on the 19th of September. The pro ceedings were brief, for he pleaded guilty, and was ,sen tenced to seven years' solitary confinement, with hard labour, in the State prison. COMMITTAL FOR PERJURY.—At the Exeter city police-court on Saturday a rather remarkable case was heard, arising out of proceedings in the revising barrister's court. When an objection made by the Liberal party was about to be heard by the barrister, the Conservative advo cates (Mr. T. J. Bremridge and Mr. F. Sanders) took ex ception to the notice, which bore the post-mark " August 26," a day too late. Mr. Strowbridge, the Liberal "runner," had produced. his dupli ca t e not i ce, say i ng, "Served by post, August 25," and. this duplicate was handed to the bar rister. On examination of the post-office stamp it was evident that there had been an alteration of the date. The post-office clerks were sent for, and they were positive that not only had the figure " 6" been turned into "5," but that the index letter, showing the mail by which the notice had. been issued, had also been altered. Moreover one of the clerks distinctly recollected Strowbridge bringing one notice and duplicate On the morning of the 26th ' and that he (the witness) h a d o b serve d that it was a day behind time. He likewise remembered part of the address on the notice. Strowbridge, who had formerly been a letter-carrier, persisted in his statement that he had posted. the notice on the 25th. The barrister said until Strowbridge had cleared himself he must hold him guilty of altering the post-office stamp. He should retain the notices, and take time to consider whether he could take further notiee of the matter. On Friday the Conservative advocates obtained a summons against Strowbridge, and on Saturday he was brought before the city magistrates on the charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. The revi sin g barrister, his clerk, and others were examined. Mr. Frye r, ou behalf of the defendant, argued that the oa th admini stered to Strowbridge, to give a true answer to all ques tions, was administered to him in his cap acit y of assistant overseer, andnot as a server of notices ; also that the altera tion had not been traced to him, and that he believed he was speaking the truth when he said the notice had been served on the 25th. The ben ch considered the case pro ve d and committed Strowbridg o to take his trial at the s p r i ng assizes. Bail was accepte d, himself i n £lOO and two sur e _ ties of .£5O each.
