MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGE1:1011, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is little business in progress in the discount market, as usual on Saturday, and, as money is plentiful, the brokers evince a desire to negotiate first-class securities at 41 per cent., and in excep tional instances at 4k per cent. There appears every probability that easier rates will prevail in the open Money Market, but the alterations shown in the Bank return do not lead to the expectation of any immediate alteration in the official minimum. On the Stock Exchange money is plentiful, and loans from day to day on Government securities can be obtained as low as 3 per cent. It is understood that the Anglo-Italian Bank will waive the necessity for the bonds as well as the Coupons of the Italian State Domain Loan, to be left at their office three days prior to the payment cf the dividend, so far as stock exchange brokers are concerned. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock and Share Markets continue to exhibit great dulness. There is no life or ani mation, and prices of securities show little change arising from the paucity of business. The Funds remain unchanged, and Consols are the same as at the close of business yesterday afternoon, viz., 89* I for money and the account, and 891 1 for November. The New Threes and Reduced Annui ties are 86/ 87* ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. to 3s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 104/. The only alteration of importance that has taken place in the prices of Foreign Stocks is a decline of percent. in Turkish 5 per Cents., to 301 1; Italian have also receded 8, to 551-; Mexican are 15/ 16* ; Greek, 141 4 ; Spanish Passive, 211 4 ; and the Certificates, 14+ 1. American Securities are steady. 1.1 mte d States 5-20 Bonds are 70k +; Erie shares, 51+ ; and Illinois, 781 79. - The dealings in the Railway Share Market have .been more animated, and a recovery from the late deprasion has taken place. Great Western have improved 1, Great Eastern 1, and LancaShire and Yorkshire, North Western, Metropolitan, Midland, and South Eastern, each 4. Great Northern, how ever, have declined 11. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been little change of :importance. Great Luxembourg remain steady, at 121 ; Ottoman, at. 5/ ; and Dutch Rhenish, at 3 prem. ; Madras 5 per Cents. have improved tol9 ; and Bombay and Baroda re main steady at 100. • Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in moderate demand, and generally sustain previous values. Alliance are dealt in at 19 191 ; London and County at 63. Imperial Bank Corporation are at 461 47, Union of London at 45/, while Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents., fully paid up, have declined to 1071 ; Credit Foncier of England are marked 31 +; Peneral Credit, 31 1 4. ; Imperial Land Company of M arseilles, 21 1 ; an. National Discount Company ) Colonial Government Securities are in moderate favour. Canada 6 per Cents. remain firm at 924 ; New Zealand 5 per Cents. have improved to 80; Queensland 6 per Cents. are dealt in at 90} a ; and _Victoria 6 per Cents. at 1022 1034.

UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—John Pelly was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with uttering a forged order with a view to defraud Messrs. Bamford and Co., the extensive wholesale silk and woollen dealersin the City. It appeared that on the 21st of last mouth a man named Brown went to the promises of Messrs. Bamford and Co., and presented an order purporting to bo sent from Messrs. Dibben and Co., 91 and 92, Cheapside. The foreman observed that it was not - signed, and said he would send a porter with it. to Messrs. Dibben and Co.'s, but Brown said that was unnecessary, as the party who gave him the order was waiting at the post-offica. A porter was accordingly sent with him, but no such person as he described having made his appearance, Brown was given into custody, and was remanded till Monday next. Police-constable 640 said that from information he re- ceived last night he tolk the prisoner into custody outside the offices 11 ; George-street, Mansion-house, solicitors and printers, where the prisoner was employed as housekeeper, lle told him the charge, and Brown, who was with wit ❑ess, said , to the, prisoner, "Yon owe me 3s. 61," to which he r_plieel,. "If I do I will pay you." He afterwards denied that he had ever seen Brown before. On being taken to the station he was placed with three or four other men, and a waiter at the Talbot, Gray's-inn-lane, was sent for, who im mediately identifi‘d him from the other men as being the party who employed him on the 21st of last month to pro cure a messenger. William Wedgwood, the waiter in question, proved that the prisoner had been at the Talbot three times on the day in question, and to his (witness) having called Brown, who was a porter well known in the neighbourhood, and prisoner being in' conversation afterwards. Prisoner denied that ho had admitted to the constable any previous acquaintance with Brown, whom he said he had never seen before yesterday. The prisoner was remanded for a week. Metropolitan Board of Works. A meeting of the board was held yesterday, at noon, at Spring-gardens, for the purpose of opening tenders by parties who should be willing to cont ract for the construction of an arched viaduct, with paved roadway thereon, 8851 feet in length, or thereabout, with other works in connection there with, comprising a similar length of subway, partly of iron and partly of masonry and brickwork, situate upon the foreshore of the River Thames, between the eastern end of the Inner Temple and Blaekfriars bridge. Sir John Thwailes presided. The board being assembled, the CHAIRMAN an nounced that he had received seven tenders, which he proceeded to read as follows :—Messrs. Hill and Kiddie, £302,000 ; Mr. Thos. Pearson, £265,000 ; Messrs. Hitchcock and Williams, £344,700; Messrs. Brassey and Co., £305,000 ; Mr. A. W. Ritson, £230,000 ; Mr. J. Thakeray, £320,000 ; and Mr. W. Webster, £268,000. The board then deliberated in private over the re spective tenders. On the readmission of the public it was intimated that the whole of the tenders had been referred to the Works and Improvement Committee to investi-: gate and report. The Clerk read the report of the Finance Com mittee,' which was agreed to. It stated that they had again endeavoured to obtain the amounts of the rateable annual value of the property in the city of London, but that the guardians of the City of Lon don Union and the West London Union had refused to supply the necessary information. They, there fore, being of opinion that the rentals should be offi cially obtained, had instructed the solicitor to pre pare the necessary forms, to be sealed by the board, for demanding copies of the rentals within seven days, agreeably to the provisions of the Main Drain age Act. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT (CONTRACT A reprt was brought up by Mr. Freeman from the Works and General Purposes Committee, as follows :—" Your honourable board, having on Fri day last referred to your committee for consideration and report the copy of the deed of arrangement entered into between Mr. Furness, under the autho rity of his inspector appointed on behalf of his estate, and Mr. Thos. Brassey and other parties, for facilitating the completion of his contract, your committee accordingly proceeded on the reference, and have also considerei the letter from Mr. Fur ness, referred to them on the same day, requesting that in future all sums of money to be paid to him by your honourable board on account of his contract for the Thames embankment works might, in pursuance of his arrangement with Mr. Brassey, be paid to an account opened at the Union Bank of London, in the names of Messrs. Brassey, Ogilvie, and Harrison. The deed referred to makes over the contract to Messrs. Brassey, but to be continued in Mr. Furness's name. The committee have given the subject careful consideration, and had consulted their solicitor (Mr. Smith), and have learned that the arrangement entered into by Mr. Furness, so far as the progress of the works are concerned, will not unfavourably affect the present position of the board. Your committee could not refrain from reverting to delay in the progress of the works, notwithstanding the endeavours they have made to accelerate it. The committee saw no objection to the application of Mr. Furness that cheques should be crossed Messrs. Braisey and Co. ; indeed such a proposi tion is only fair to Mr. Brassey. Your committee therefore recommend that all sums of money should be so crossed." Mr. FREEMAN, in moving that the report be ap proved of, said the Thames embankment works, un der contract No. 1, were getting on, he=might say vigorously. There was a large quantity of material on the ground, and since last week the number of men engaged had been increased to 600. lle thought it would be advisable, and tend to increase the pro gress of the works of the board, should they accede to the request of Mr. Furness that the cheques be crossed " Brassey and Co." Mr. EVANS seconded the motion. Mr. Roe ILE moved an amendment, that the mat ter be referred back to the committee. Major LYON, in a long address, contended that the works ought to be pushed on with energy and despatch. He should certainly vote for the original motion. After a few words from Mt. LEGG, The motion was pat and the recommendation of the committee agreed to. After some routine business had been disposed o: the board adjourned at a late hour. A New Gunpowder. Every day some new discovery is being made in the instruments and appliances of war, and the last invention promises certainly not to be one of the least important. A Swiss inventor has discovered an explosive compound which we believe has been offered for experiment to our War-office authorities. It consists of a powder the ingredients of which are as yet unknown, as they are the secret of the inven tor. This powder is intended.to be used only as a bursting charge for shells or for explosive rifle bullets ; in fact, it can be used as a charge for every species of projectile, and its force is so great that a bullet charged with it and fired from the ordinary Enfield rifle suffices to blow up the caisson of an artillery waggon. Whht its effect would be when forming the charge of the hollow projectiles of the heavier species of ordnance is as yet unknown, as it has not hitherto been experimented upon on a large scale, but judg ing from that produced by the very small quantity of the powder contained in a hollow missile fired from the ordinary rifle it must prove a terrible en gine of destruction. Although possessing such for midable explosive qualities, this composition is, in its ordinary condition, one of the safest known, as it only explodes when the hollow projectile charged with it strikes some object when fired from a rifle or piece of ordnance ; even then the shell does not burst till it has penetrated the substance against Which it strikes. A bullet charged with this sub stance can be flung about and struck without any explosion resulting from the roughest treatment ; upon being thrown into a fire the bullet will be fused, and no explosion ensues. Upon the powder being placed upon a sheet of paper and a light being applied to it, it burns slowly and without noise, nearly in the same manner as would a similar quan tity of common sulphur. The mode of using it is extremely simple, as it is simply poured into the shell till it is well filled with it, and the orifice through which it was introduced is then stopped up in the manner that seems most convenient—in the case of a rifle bullet, for instance, with a piece of wax. No fuse is required to determine the ignition of the shell. One of its most important qualities, however, is, that by adding to, or diminishing one of the ingre dients, the explosion of the shell, after striking, may be retarded or accelerated, so that in firing, we shall say at au iron-plated ship of war, it may be so arranged as to explode either between decks after having penetrated the side, or in the side of the ves sel itself, and the breach made by such a formidable mine would, most probably, utterly destroy or sink the vessel. It is to be hoped that such an extraordinary dis covery will be duly inquired into, and there is little doubt thatif it is, from experiments that have already taken place abroad, this new power of destruction will be an important addition to our land, and, above all, to our marine artillery. THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.--There is a great improvement in the weather. Little rain has fallen during the last 10 days, and the ground is becoming firm. But the weather is not very favourable 'for harvest work, as the atmosphere is generally dull, and there is a want of drying winds. Slow progress is therefore made in carrying the cut crops, but great quantities hair° been rendeied compa ratively secure by rickling. It is bettor to ricklo and wait with patience than to run any risk in such close weather by stacking grain in rather soft condition. In the lower districts farmers are beginning to take up the remainder of their potatoes. Tho appearance of the crop when raised is no worse than might have been anticipated from the diseased state of the slums. On light land we see about one-fourth put in the diseased heaps, and we hear of in stances in which the loss exceeds one-half on stro`ng land. From the heavier rainfall, the loss is pretty sure to be greater in the uplands than it is in the neighbourhood of Ayr, but the extent of the damage will not bo known for another week or two, as the disease has not run its course in the case of the late crops—Ayr Advertiser.

(TIIIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Several "strangers" have already arrived for the second October trysting, and others are expected by special trains during this afternoon and evening. The heath was all alive this morning, a large number of horses galloping. Amongst the new comers that were at exercise was Lec turer, who followed Ackworth a couple of miles clipping, but he is a small horse, and the generality of the trainers hero say he is made more for speed than endurance, and declare that he has no chance with the long-striding, powerful Lothario, who really goes splendidly. Breeze and he had a two mile gallop, but the mare goes rather short just now. Ostreger led A cteee a mile and three quarters; and Plutus took Sultan a mile and a quarter. La Favorite has returned and had a mile and a half spin this morning going brilliantly. The Squire galloped a couple of miles. Master Richard led Vauban, Lady Hester, Glendale, and the Captain some nice work; and Gomera pioneered Ischia, Ives, the Duchess, and Whirligig. Pantaloon and Kangaroo galloped with the rest of John Days. Fitzroy went brilliantly, and Brother to Ascbam was going freely. Haidee and Pirate Chief were in mile work, Drewett being in attendance upon them. Podargus was amongst Mr. Sutton's lot, and Split the Difference led Lord Lyon a mile and three-quarters, Achievement galloping three-quarters of a mile fast. The latter seems to improve daily. Emigrant again showed with the rest of Arnull's, but did very little. The Earl of Derby went a nice steady gallop; and Mat Dawson was working Bombastes, Julius, and Pericles. The Rake and Fripponnier had a beautiful pipe-opener of about a mile, and Janitor took Jasper and Falkenstein a similar distance. Bread albane galloped Knight of the Garter, Satyr, and Plunder; but Broomielaw merely trotted. Lytham, Friday, and Chapel Royal were at smart exercise. Vulture led Jollity two miles and a half, and the latter moved beautifully. Python and Ben Nevis did a mile. Paris and Peon gal loped a mile and a half. 11 Re Galantuoino and King Charming did a mile and three-quarters each. Lochaber, Star of India, Nutbourne Lad, and the Amanda Colt, were in mile work. Ambition galloped a mile and a half. The T.4'3 re Defence and Aid Fund. A meeting of - the committee of the above fund was held at No. 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, on 31 October—Col. Henry de Bathe in the chair. The hon. secretary read the following letter from Sir It. Murchison, Bart. : " Ed "Wood, Bagshot, Oct. 2, 1866. " Sir, —ln apologising for not being able to attend the committee of the Eyre Fund to-morrow, I inclose a cheque for my subscription. I rejoice to find that we are going on so well, and I trust that the fund will be so increased that we may be able to hand over to my'distinguished friend, the ex-Governor, a testimonial worthy of the man who saved a great British colony.—Your obedient servant, " RODERICK MURCHISON." " Resolved that the Right Hon. the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot be requested to accept the position of President and that Sir Roderick Murchison, Bart., and Thomas Car lyle, Esq., be asked to act as vice-presidents." Mr. CARLYLE said it would afford him very great pleasure to comply with the request of the commit- Mr. 11. H UrIE (the hon. secretary) then proceeded to explain the steps that had been taken to promote the objects of the fund since last meeting. lle said that he in the first instance addressedaletter to most of the provincial papers in the threekingdoms, asking for their support in the formation of sub-committees; that this appeal had had considerable effect, sub committees were either formed or about to be orga nised, at the following places :—Liverpool, Edin burgh, Glasgow, Cheltenham, Southampton, Aber deen, Bath, Hastings, Leeds, Bradford, Dublin, Isle of Wight, Chichester, Plymouth, and Cambridge, and that in the course of the next month he hoped to be able to name fifty other towns. He had also written to the commanding officer of every regi ment and depot battalion in the service, and to the captains of every one of her Majesty's ships in commission. .He proposed, if the com mittee saw no objection, to appeal to every indivi dual member of the Civil Service in India, and to for ward a pamphlet to them. The Working Men's Conservative Association at Bradford had forwarded to him (Nir. Hume) an address to be presented to Mr. Eyre at the proper time, and the Working Men's Conservative Association at Leeds proposed follow ing their example. Other working men's associa tions were being appealed to, so that the feeling of the public at large might be arrived at. With re ference to an application to the Bishop of Jamaica to join the committee, made since the last meeting, a reply had been received, from which the following was an extract : " Personally I have an earnest sympathy with Mr. Ey ro I warmly admire his character and history, as far as they are known to me ; and I firmly believe that the speedy sup pression of the murderous insurrections in Jamaica is at tributable, under God's providence, to the promptitude, courage, and judgment with which he acted under circum stances of peculiar difficulty and danger. From all that I have heard of Mr. Eyre's career, I believe that his humanity and kindness of heart, his love of justice and mercy, and his eminently Christian principles, qualified him in a very high degree for the discharge of his arduous and painful duties at a most critical period of the history of the colony whose government he had to administer., BOW-STREET. George Smith and George Cook were placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of brass work, the pro perty of Mr. Mancur. Police-constable 519 A, said on the morning of the 29th of September he was on duty, in Whitehall, when ho met the two prisoners carrying a has* . t, which appeared very heavy. lie asked tfieth what it contained, when Smith said brass fittings, which he was carrying from Walworth road to Hampstead-road. Ho took the cover off the basket and found three hydopults, which had been partly de stroyed, two steam indicators, and various other articles of such a nature that led to believe that a robbery had been committed. He took the two prisoners into custody, and since that time it bad been discovered that the property was the result of a robbery: Mr. Edward Mancur said the prisoner Smith was a man he had taken in out of the streets, to do odd jobs in his workshop at Brunswick-Place, Walworth. The first inti mation he had of the prisoner's dishonesty was that on ono occasion:he was directed to take sotre clothes' wringers to the Agricultural-ball, for the Industrial Exhibition, and which articles he found were never delivered. Ho gave information to the poli , :e of the robbery, and shortly after wards his workshop was broken open, and the property produced by the constable, which be valued at £2O, was stolen. It .had been rendered almost valueless by being broke up. The indicators, in their complete state, wore alone worth between £8 and.£4, but in the condition they were now they would only be valuable as old metal. Smith said it was not true that the witness had fed and clothed.him as he bad stated. He was quite innocent of stealing either the wringers or the brass fittings. The Magistrate reminded the prisoner Smith that the latter articles, which had been stolen from the prosecutor's workshop, had been found in his possession, and if, as he said, he 'was innocent of the robbery, he had better tell the jury so at his trial. If they thought he had not stolen the property they would, of course, acquit him. Cook said he was only engaged by the other person to help him to carry the basket, for which he was to have a shilling. The police-constable said both prisoners refused to give their address. Tho magistrate committed both prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sruitious BUSMAN Co'Ns.—George Robson, of No. 8, Princes-row, Bedford-row, was charged before Mr. Knox with uttering a counterfeit Russian throe rouble piece, with intent to defraud Mr. Henry Greaves, jeweller, of No. 50, Great Portland-street. Mr. Greaves said—About half-past 6 yesterday evening the prisciner came in and threw the coin produced on the count„r, and asked what it was worth. I directly picked it up, and as soon as I bad done so, a friend of the prisoner's stepped in and said "Oh, it's gold. I should have a ring made of it, if I were you; and attach it to my chain." I retained the coin, having previously had a communication from the police respecting frauds with similar coins, and detained the prisoner while I sent for a constable, and on one coming gave the prisoner into custody. I believe there have been a number of similar coins passed at jewel lers. Inspector Garforth, E division—l was at the station when the prisoner was brought ilk by police-constable 35 E, and he said ho bought tire coig7lifllatton-gardon, at a refiners, for Bs. 6d., but that ho did not know the name of the re finer. Information has been given by the police to jewel lers, cautioning thenragainst purchasing the coins. - Mr. Knox—There is some difficulty in the case. In the first place, the prisoner did not tender the coin for the purpose of changing it—he merely asked its value ; and, in the second place, there is no proof that it is a counterfeit of a Russian coin. Inspector Garforth—l have a person here who purchased one of the coins, and if the prisoner is remanded I can pro duce 20 others. Henry Ashman, assistant to Mr. George Pickett, je*eller, 265, Oxford-street, said—On Tuesday last the prisoner offered me one of the coins for sale. I asked what It was, and bdlieve the prisoner said it was gold, Ile said he had had it by him for some time, and he wished to get rid of it, as it was of no use to him. I judged from its weight that it was genuine, and took it up to Mr. Rickett, who, believing it to be genuine, said I might give 235. for it. I did so, and the prisoner left. I identified the prisoner last night at the station as the person I purchased the coin of. I have had the coin tested, and it is platina. I have com pared it with a Russian coin at a money-changers, and it is similar. Mr. Knox—l should liko to see a genuine Russian coin, if one can be procured. Mr. Garforth left f o r the purpose, and returned and said —I have been to a mone y c h a ngers, and they state that the coin is a genuine coin, made of plating, but gilt over. Its original value is about 9s. Gd. . _ _ _ Mr. Knox—The prisoner will be remanded, and the Rus sian Consul can be communicated with. MARKETS.,-Tllis Day.

Mr. Gruneisen was corre spondent of the Hominy Post during that remarkable cam paign, and having fallen into -the hands of the Corpos Prances, then infesting the Pinares of Soria, had some ex traordinary escapes from being shot. Owing to the active intervention of the late Lord Palmerston, backed by the urgent representations of Lord Clarendon, then Minister in Madrid, Mr. Gruneisen was released after an imprison ment of two mogtlig at Logrono. 93 81 9 MALTON. We expect to have Brown Bread, Domestic Bliss, Mockery, My. Love, the Oppressor, Queen of Nuts, Sycee, War, and Westwick .at Newmarket next week ; and they will leave to-day, hence their work this morning was n4thing to speak of. Brown Bread had not done enough to gave him a chance for the Cesarewitch ; but War Las, and the latter, though slow, is a game, enduring horse,. and may be troublesome to the winner, whatever it may turn up to be. Southruinster has schooled Queen of Nuts well. Knight of the Crescent has been eased : but Klarinska..is still doing two mile gallops. [As most of the Cesarewitch horses at Lambourne, Marlborough, Richmond, and Findon were to start for Newiiiarket this day, their work was confined to mere gentle exercise; therefore we have nothing particular to report from those training quarters in our present edition. Their gallops at Newmarket, however, shall be faithfully recorded day by day.] Pred:ctions for the Cesarewitch. We select the following "predictions" on the Cesarewitch from the principal sporting writers of the press : Bell's Life. We look for the winner in Proserpina, and anticipate, supposing she does not get home, that both La Favorite and Dubiety will be among her immediate attendants. Sporting Gazette—Mmtus.

It is my belief that if Potomac, whom I long regarded to have the best chance of all the horses engaged, be shelved for her stable companion, that wo shall see the race fall to Rama or War.

NEWMARKET, Oct. 3:—ln a £lO Sweepstakes, Wednes day, First October Meeting, the filly out of Tribute was inadvertently named "by Vedette," instead of "by Pro mised Land." A difference of opinion exists respecting the disposal of the bets on the ground that, according to the first rule of betting (" In all bets there must be a pos 7 sibility to win when. the bet is made —you cannot win when you cannot lose") the bets on the Tribute filly weio void. I must premise my remarks by saying that this gOod honest rule, so beautiful in theory, is chimerical in practice. A lame or dying horse may be laid against ac cording to betting law for any p.p. race until the event comes off, or so long as lie is not scratched for his engagement. It is not so disgusting as un unprin cipled owner milking his horse, favourably weighted, with a good chance to win if allowed to start ; but both parties are within the precincts of the law. Without the shadow of reflection on my noble and good friend the owner of the Tribute filly I must argue the case not as an especial one, but on general principles. If a horse. wrongly named comes in first it is possible, though not probable, that the secret may be kept until the expiration of a year, then it would be too late to refund, therefore there is a possibility to win. The original precedent of bets being declared off owing to an incorrect nomination was Elinor v. Torquoise, Oaks, 1828; but in this instance the objection was made before the race, 'and Elinor was not allowed to start, the bets between Torquoise and Elinor were declared void, as there was no such animal as Elinor by Gustavus; but if Elinor had started all the bets against her would have been won, whether she came in first or last—the cir cumstanco of the starter calling the jockeys to take their places renders every race, including matches, p.p. In this instance the bettors lay against a filly stated by the owner to be got by Vedette, on the strength of the field money in crease the amount of their speculations against the winner. Why are they to suffer ? In all cases of running horses under a false description the backers place themselves in the same position with the owner, if they be thrown over by the jockey or trainer. They have no redress. Tho backers of Running Rein and Leander for the Derby of 1841 paid their bets, although the former was four and the other six years old. Now, be pleased to consider the mischievous policy of the objectors. Taking their view of the subject I may back my colt, misnamed purposely, for the Derby to win N s V e £50,000. If the colt be beaten an amicable suit is ragd d " there is a mistake." He is got by anot her i seal my n oble my commissioner refuses to pay on the santraphe could not friend has urged "that if he could not win lose." The law is inexorable ag ainst i : e by neglect.

At;-the Bank of Boglaud• yesterday aftern there was au infltix of £22,000 in bar g old, and a witharawai. of £25,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. The stoppage was announced yesterday afternoon of the Asiatic Banking Corporation. The failure of Premchaud Rogchaud, on the 19th, caused an increase in the panic, and as this firm was one of the largest shareholders and debtors, it was found mpossible to avert the suspension. The liabilities of the • establishment at the end of the year amounted to £6,500,000, but the continued drain upon them has reduced the amount to less than £4,000,000. The bank was not under the Limited Lia bility Act, and the shareholders are liable for twice the amount of their subscriptions. The assets, it is stated, will be sufficient _to meet all engagements. The head office was in Loudon, and there were agencies and branches at Bombay, Calcutta, Ma dras, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghae, and Melbourne. The following circular has been issued TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Asiatic Banking Corporation, 4, Lombard-street, London, Oct. 5, 18(36. Sir,—The directors of the Asiatic Banking Corporation extremely regret to state that in consequence of a telegram received this morning from the Bombay agent of this bank, announcing the suspension of payments of that agency , they are compelled to close the bank. A statcmen!; of the affairs of the bank will be prepared, and a meeting of the creditors will be convened as early as possible after the arrival of the ensuing mail front Bombay• —By order of the directors, F. W. LAWRENCE, Acting General Manner. Some of the members of the late committee' of investigation and of the new board of directors of the Joint-Stock Discount Company have issued a report to the shareholders, in which they state that " some securities are altogether unsaleable, and that the greater part are for the present quite uncon vertible." They agree with Mr. Harding, the liquidator, that it is impossible to express any opinion as to the amount which may eventually be recovered from these securities, and that the peculiar character of the greater portion of them precludes the possibility of making any reliable estimate. The committee finally state that they consider it is to the interests of the shareholders to pay the calls made by the court, to enable the liquidator to arrange with the creditors. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures remain firm at 65f ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 45k, 44. The following has been received from the Defence Find Association of Overend, Gurney, and Co. re specting proceedings taken against the directors':— "In'counexion with the affairs of Overend, Gurney, and Co., it is announced that Mr. Dundas, one of the Committee, and who originated the proceedings in the Court of Chancery,and which resulted in the independent investigation, has, owing to the dis coveries which have been receuty made by Mr. Howell (Walker, Reddall, Nix, and Howell accountant, commenced an action against the direc tors.

Witness said to her, " What have you done with the money I left at home ?" She remained silent and burst out crying. She said that she bad put some of the money in a Scotch bank, and then she said that she bad put none of it in. Witness was about to return to Scotland, and she knew that he would find out all about the money, and that fact preyed upon her mind.
