A ec ount MONEY MARKET AND COMDI2,IICIAL ENTELL IGENCE. TWELVE o'CLocs. The Discount Market is still in a very firm con dition, and the inquiry is active for loans as well as for the negotiation of commercial bills. Bankers and bill brokers are not very well supplied ; they consequently show an indisposition to transact business under 4 per cent.—the official rate. The Brazilian Loan having been so successful no doubt affects the market, as it will lead to shipments of specie ; but one of the principal influences in force is the large circulation of notes and gold in the agricultural districts for harvest purposes. In consequence of the recent continued activity and firmness of the discount market it was supposed that the Bank of England return for the past week would prove unsatisfactory, but the results, as will be seen from the subjoined analysis, are not un favourable : Active Circulation ...£21,819,055 Decrease , „. 76,005 ... 14,219,842 Bullion .. ...

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OP OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. —Thomas Edward Lovett, described as an agent, charged with obtaining a quantity of furniture, of the value of £l6, from Mr. Nash, upholsterer, of Princes-street, Leices ter-square, by false pretences, was again brought before Mr. Knox. Mr. Davis, from the office of Mr. Howell, Cheapside, ap peared for the prosectition, and Mr. Fryer for the defence. The case has three or four times been before the court, and Mr. Knox now discharged the prisoner, stating that a noticeable feature in the case was that there had been no attempt on the part of the prisoner after obtaining the goods to dispose of them. Mr. Fryer having intimated that there was a probability of the prisoner bringing an action for false imprisonment against Mr. Nash, Mr. Knox said he certainly would not advise such a step to be taken, Mr. Nash having, he con sidered, good grounds for giving the prisoner into custody. WESTMINSTER. A FRIVOLOUS CHARGE.—Mr. John Meiklam, gentleman, was charged with stealing a gold hunt cup, two blankets, and other property, belonging to Mrs. Julia Strickland, a lady, residing at 25, Cumberland-street, Pimlico. Mr. Howe defended. Mrs. Julia Strickland said—l am a married woman. My husband's name is Frederick Edward. lam separated from him for some years, and have been visited by gentle men. Prisoner lived with me for five years up to two years ago. Ho has not lived with me since. He tas been in the habit of sleeping there, not with - ine. I went to Worthing a week ago, cud whilo I was absent he came with another man, broke open the press, and stole the gold cup, two blankets, a quilt, and other property. In reply to a question from Mr. Selfe and Mr. Howe, she said prisoner gave her the cup some years ago. The blankets another gentleman bought. She persisted that she had not lived with him three weeks ago, but did not deny that she wrote and asked him to go to Worthing with her, and that he gave her £l3 the day before to re deem some earrings. The servant was called, a decent Irish girl, with two years' character from last situation, but her evidence went for nothing. Mr. Selfe, after some remarks upon the merits and de• merits of the case, ordered prisoner to appear next Friday entering into his own reeognisances. SOUTHWARK. DRUNKENNESS AND ASSAULE.—Henry Ibbete, a work. ing man, was charged before Mr. Burnham this mornirq with assault and damage, under the following circum• stances : William Gurdon . said that he was a barman at the Rockingham Arms, Newington-causeway. About half past 11 o'clock last night, as he was serving in the bar, the prisoner came in quite drunk, and commenced to create a great disturbance. He refused to leave and became very violent. With the sssistance of another barman he succeeded in ejecting him from the premises, but not until he delibe rately thrust his fist through a pane of glass value £5. Win. Neven, another barman, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness, and said that he assisted iu getting the prisoner out of the premises, and in doing so was as saulted by him. He saw him distinctly break the pane of glass and strike the last witness. The prisoner, who had a black eye, gave a very different version of the affair. According to his account the first witness assaulted him without any provocation, and when he was knocked down the other witness kicked him in a most brutal manner. He called a witness, who, not being present at the time, could prove nothing. The Magistrate said it was evident that the prisoner had so misconducted himself as to render his expulsion from the premises necessary. Those who had so ejected ,him wore perfectly justifiable, and even if he had been assaulted in the way he described, be had no ground of legal-com plaint, as he was resisting those who wore authorised to remove him. Ho fined him Gd. for the assault and £5 for the damage, or, in default, one month's imprisonment. The prisoner applied to be allowed to pay the fine by instalments, which the magistrate refused. THAMES. A PERSEVERING DESTRUCTIVE.—George Brown, a very tall man about 40 years of age, and without coat or waist coat, which he had pawned for drink, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with window breaking. Mr. James Steers, the proprietor of a house of public en tertainment known as the West India Dock House, in Pop lar, said he had been frequently annoyed by the prisoner, who had threatened to break all his windows and after wards break his heart. A month ago the prisoner delibe rately broke two panes of glass in the front window, and was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour. Last night the prisoner came be fore the house, and, with a stone, deliberately broke two panes of glass in the same sash. The value of them was 12s. Charles Stewart, a tailor, saw the prisoner break the two panes of glass last night. The prisoner—l was drunk; that is all, sir. Mr. Wooly eh—You are a mischievious ,ill-minded man, sentence you to pay 12s. value, and 15s. fine, or be im• prisoned and kept to hard labour for 21 days, and also to enter into your own recognisance in the sum of £lO to keep the peace to the prosecutor and all her Majesty's sub jects for the space of six months. THE TERROR OE THE WHITECHAPEL-ROAD.—James King, a boy of 15, was brought before Mr. Woolryc,h, charged with stealing 131bs of beef, the property of Mr. Hugman, butcher, in the Mile-end-roul. A young woman, named Susan Collins, saw the prisoner take a piece of beef from her master's board and run away with it. He was pursued, and threw away the beof which was recovered. Its value was Bs. Bd. William Hunt, 424 K, said the prisoner had been in cus tody before, and was the terror of the Whitechapel-road. Mr. Woolrych—To all the inhabitants of that long road. Hunt—Yes, sir, to all. (A laugh.) Mr. Woolrych—What are the dangers they dread ? . Hunt—He snatches the meat off their boards, or.any ling he can lay his hands on. Mr. Woolrych—They dread his pilfering propensities. I am afraid the prisoner is a confirmed young thief, but as there is no proof of a former conviction, although he has been in custody, I shall begin with a mild punishment, one month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARKETS —This Day. MARK-LANE. Only a moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re ceived fresh up to our market to-day. For good and fine samples there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm ; otherwise, the English wheat trade was quiet, at late rates. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions only a moderate business was transacted, yet no change took place in prices as compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. The supply of barley on salo was only moderate. The trade, however, ruled quiet, at previous quotations. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities were in steady request, and prices ruled firm. Both beans and peas were scantily offered, and the trads was firm at full currencies. Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch. 1,020 950 780 60 370 Irish Foreign 17,700 3,310 38,520 340 sks.

TALIOOIV.—A better tone has prevailed during the last few days, and prices are steady. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 45s 9d ; October to December, 45s 9d ; and January to March delivery, 47s per cwt. " Three of the pills, weighing 12.6 grains, were sub mitted to the usual process for the detection of strychnia and other alkaloids of the like nature. Strychnia was separated from them in a crystallised state, and distinctly identified by all its principal chemical properties. The de coction of the pills in water and spirit had the intensely bitter taste of strychnia; this taste remained upon the tongue for more than au hour. " From the three pills a quantity of strychnia equivalent to half a grain was separated. Assuming that the strychnia was equally distributed among them, this would make a proportion of one-sixth part of a grain for each pill. By another chemical process the strychnia contai ne d i n th e half of another pill was extracted. This was found to be equivalent to one-ten part of a grain, or representing one fifth part of a grain for each pill. (The strychnia was here produced.) Considering that it is exceedingly difficult to extract the whole of the strychnia contained in a pill under such circumstances, it may be inferred that each pill would not contain less than from one -sixth to one-fifth of a grain, and that three pills would therefore contain from three fifths to one-half of a grain. Three other pills, taken from the other box, were made into an extract with spirit (for dissolving the strychnia), and one-half of this extract was placed within a wound made in the skin of a rabbit. In four minutes the animal was seized with the usual tetanic con vulsions which are produced by strychnia. These followed each other in rapid succession, and the animal died in three minutes, making altogether seven minutes from the time at which the extract equivalent to one pill and a half was placed beneath the skin. " THE BOTTLE OF BLOOD.—This was a green glass 4oz. bottle sealed, seals unbroken. It contained 7 drachms, or about a tablespoonful of blood of a dark crimson colour, not putrid. It presented no unusual appearance under the mi croscope, and chemical analysis did not show in it the pre sence of any strychnine. - The quantity hero examined is equivalent to only one 500th part of the blood contained in the body of an adult. " THE CONTENTS OF THE JAR.—The jar contained- 1 1. The stomach unopened and the two ends properly secured by ligatures, so that none of the contents had escaped ; 2. the large and small intestines ; 3. a portion of the liver ; and 4. the spleen. These organs, it may be observed, were healthy, and presented no appearance which would account for death. They were remarkably free from putrefaction. As to the stomach, on the outside of this organ there was a deep patch of a red colour corresponding to the situation of the spleen. When opened, the stomach was found to contain about six ounces by measure of half digested food of a thick pasty consistence and of a sour smell, as if it had undergone fermentation after death. No pills could be seen in the contents, but the following sub stances were recognised and separated :—The pipes and skins as well as the pulp of apples. French beans, the fibre of meat, and a quantity of bread (starchy matter), as well as fat. These were partially digested, showing that death must have taken place suddenly, soon after a full meal had been made. There was no odour of prussic acid, spirits, or other poisonous volatile liquids. The contents were acid, probably as a result of the fermentation of the food, The inner surface of the stomach presented a few patches of congestion, and it was slightly reddened, but there was no appearance of disease to account for death. The whole of the contents, with the mucus scraped from the inner sur face of the stomach, were submitted to the same chemical processes as the pills for the detection of strychnia. The result was that slight traces of the substance was detected in the liquid portion of the contents. The intestines pre sented nothing unusual, either internally or externally. They were in some places reddened, apparently as the re sult of cadaveric congestion ; but on opening them they contained the usual healthy substances derived from digested food, and the lining membrane presented no ap pearance of disease. As to the liver and spleen, four ounces of the liver and the - whole of the spleen were minutely examined for strychnia, but no trace of this poison was detected in either organ. " The conclusions which I draw from this analysis are— " Firstly, That the pills contained strychnia in a quan tity sufficient to Cause death according to the number taken. "Secondly, That there wore traces of strychnia in the contents of the stomach.. " Thirdly, That there were no strychnia in the liver, spleen, and blood. (Signed) "ALFRED SWAINE TAYLOR, M.D., F.R.S., Fellow of the College of Physicians, and Professor of Medical Jurispru dence and Chemistry in Guy's Hos pital." The Coroner—Assuming three pills of a similar charac ter had been taken shortly before the death of the deceased, and that they contained a similar amount of strychnia to that which you examined, would you have expected to find greater or more distinct traces of the strychnia in the stomach of the deceased ? Professor Taylor—No, I should not ; the dose was very small. The smallest quantity of strychnine that has been known to destroy an adult is half a grain. I should state that the longer a person lives after the strychnine has been taken the less it can be discovered, as it becomes absorbed. Tho Coroner—Would you have expected to find it in the blood, or tho liver, or the spleen ? Professor I should not. I h ave ma d e a calculation, had the wh o l e o f th e strychnine been would Nhao h t' ave been only 1-50th o f the grain the r o t h and e T there findor t to a pound of blood. The quantity Was too small to ex pect to find it. The same answer applies to the liver and spleen. Strychnine is given in cases of paralysis and nervous affection, but the medical dose would commence at the twentieth part of a grain, and be increased to a twelfth, or even tenth part of a grain. I may add that symptoms of poisoning begin in doses of from half to a third of a grain, and actual death has taken place in two known instances from a quantity similar to that which is before you now. The quantity of strychnine f oun d i n th e deceased is consistent with either a p o i sonous or a medici nal dose. From the traces found i n t h e stomach I can draw no inferences ; the residue was cons i stent with either, as I have already stated, so that I can form no conclusion as to the cause of death. Ido not consider that strychnine would be a proper medicine for the purpose of procuring abortion. I have never known it used for such a purpose, and can conceive no other effect from it than convulsions resulting in death. The action of strychnine is over the voluntary muscles, but I have never heard of it having any action on the uterus. One pill would not destroy life, two would jeopardise it, and three would bo certain to prove fatal to any one. It is possible that one pill might contain more strychnine than the other, but from the analysis I made I take it that the strychnine in them was pretty equally divided, and that any adult taking three of them would die. There wer e no di rect i ons on the yimproper in a medicine of that usualna to give st rychnine in pills; it is ut b us o li : ea , na ture. usually given is is t noti n ve s r olution, as it can be more accurately apportioned in that form. By Mr. Whatman—l have never personally known strychnine to be given medicinally to correct *feminine irregularities; it has been used by Dr. Bardsley and others wfth benefit. By the Coroner—The other portions of the pills were made up of aromatic confection. I should say that no medical man would venture to give the dose of strychnia 1 found in one pill for the purpose of correcting feminine irregularities. Three of those pills I should say would act in half an hour after they had been taken, as they were composed of soft materials, and would soon break up in the stomach and let the poison out. All poisons are more or less slow of action, according to whether the stomach.is full or empty. By the Jury—The pills were apparently made up by a person thoroughly acquainted with medicine. By Mr. Kelsey—Battle's vermin powder contains strychnia to the extent of a grain and a half in the six penny packet. Ot7chnitt 1155 ben giy9ll as a tg u i o f or in. Tho Coroner then made out his warrant of committal of the prisoner on the charge of manslaughter. Although the crowd was very great in the court the best order was preserved, which was entirely to be attributed to the excellent arrangements made by Superintendent ldow.

The Alleged Poisoning of a Young Lady by her Lover. (Conan :zed from the Sun of lad Eve,Znq.) SALisaznY, Thursday. Dr. Taylor wao cworn, and in answer to the coroner said —That report (produced) contains a correct statement of the result of the analysis of the stomach, the intestines, the pills, the liver, and some blood which were delivered to me by Mr. Collins, the clerk to the coroner, on the 7th of September. The report was as follows : "On Thursday, Sept. 7, 1865, I received from Mr. Col lins, at my house, No. 15, St. James's-terrace, Regent's park—first, a jar containing, as it was alleged, portions of the viscera of deceased; second, a small bottle; and, thirdly, a box containing pills. "I re-sealed these articles with the exception of the box of pills, which was already distinctly sealed with the im pression of a cock, and delivered them on the following morning, Friday, Sept. 8, to my assistant, Mr. Richard Prior, to be placed in a private room in the laboratory, Guy's Hospital, until the result of an application to the Secretary of State was known. " On Monday evening, Sept. 11, Ireceived an order from the Secretary (Sir G. Grey) to make the requisite analysis in this case. "On Tuesday, Sept.:l2, I proceeded to examine these articles in the chemical laboratory, Guy's Hospital. They were re-delivered to me by Mr. Prior, my assistant, who had kept them locked up in the interim. I then observed that the seals were unbroken, and that the three packets were precisely in the same condition as when I delivered them to Mr. Prior on Friday morning. " THE Box Or Pius.—This was contained in two paper wrappers—the outer one of a pink colour, sealed with the impression of a cock, and labelled in writing ink, 12 pills found in Miss Blake's drawer.' The innerpaper wrap per was white, soiled, and marked with ink stains—nothing legible. It had a broken seal, with a lion rampant. The box itself was an ordinary white pill-box, but without any address upon it, or any writing to indicate how the pills were to be taken. The 'pills in the box were 12 in num ber. The average weight of each was rather more than four grains. They were of a brown colour, and had' an aromatic smell. They were soft, as if made with treacle or syrup. Under tho microscope they presented no unusual appearance. No crystalline or mineralinatter' could be per ceived in them. They contained neither arsenic, antimony, nor mercury ; but they contained a large proportion of sugar with vegetable matter, similar to the aromatic con fection of the Pharmacopmia. - digestion or disorders itomdchNillit - i•ery "gin - far doses in all cases. Had the deceased taken one pill she might have died, but in a recent case within my know ledge the same quantity produced in a man all the symp toms of poisoning to an alarming extent. Assuming that I had not heard anything of the pills I should not have considered that the strychnia I found would have been sufficient to account for death, By the Coroner—On the 19th of September I received from Superintendent Caldow a white crystallised sub stance weighing 11 grains. It is strychnia. The Coroner then read over the evidence of Mr. Coates and Dr. Blackmore. Professor Taylor—Having hcard that evidence, my opi nion is that the symptoms described are consistent with poisoning by strychnia, and not with any known disease, and also such symptoms as I should expect to arise from taking three of those pills, and to ba followed by death. Mr. Blake was recalled and said—l have not had strych nine in my place for twelve months past. By Mr. Kelsey—l kept in the surgery saccharated cyanide of iron with strychnine in it, and any one could go to it. I parted with Storer on apparently good terms, but I did not invite him to come and see me if he•was passing through Salisbury. Professor Taylor, recalled by Mr. Whatman—Battle's vermin killer contains flour coloured with soot or indigo, which constitutes 58 parts out of 60 of it. If any person wanted the strychnia out of it he must get it done by a skilled hand. Superintendent Caldow recalled, and proved that Storer made a statement before the city illagistrates, and that in that statement he said he never had any strychnine in his possession. Fanny Bevan, housemaid to Mr. Blake, proved that Miss Blake called for a candle about half-past nine on the night of her death and at once went up to bed. She had seen the deceased all day, and she was quite cheerful the whole day. Miss Blake did not appear to be distressed at Mr. Storer's leaving. The box produced (the medicine chest) witness recognised as Mr. Storer's. She had seen it in his bed-room frequently on the table under the bookshelf. He took it.away with him. Never heard him speak of it as a medicine' chest. It was about half-past eleven when deceased screamed out. Had waited on her, but never saw her take medicine. Mrs. Blake also identified the medicine chest as Mr. Storer's. The Coroner then summed up at considerable length, and directed the attention of the jury to certain facts. He said there could be no doubt chat Miss Blake had died from an overdose of strychnine, and the statements of the deceased showed that she had received the medicine from Mr.' Storer. If he had administered it in ignorance, it would be their duty to return a verdict of manslaughter, but if the strychnine was maliciously given it would then amount to wilful murder. He then referred to other portions of the evidence, bearing upon the connection of Storer with the strychnine and the pills, and pointed out matters upon which they would have to find their verdict. The jury retired at half-past five, and returned into court with the following verdict :—" We find that the de ceased, Emily Sophia Blake, died from the effects of strychnine, taken by her in three pills, given to her by William John Storer; and we find a verdict of manslaugh ter against the said William John Storer."

JAMES'S HALL. --- s --- The "original and veritable" Christy Minstrels have commenced their winter season in London at St. James's Hall. The entertainment of the Christy Minstrels has always been a pleasant and agreeable one, and doubtless the present season will be no exception to those given during their last visit to the metropolis, which we '"are• told is nearly five years ago. Amongst them are Messrs. G. W. Moore, J. P. Crocker, J. Ritter, and 11. Hamilton, and they are assisted by Mr. Horace Norman, Mr. J. Raw linson, Mr. Winter Haigh, Mr. J. H. Williams, &c. The performances comprise an ample variety of novelties; and each section of the enter tainment is illustrated by dioramic scenery, which greatly enhances the general effect. Comic songs, sentimental songs, eccentric songs and dances, instrumental solos, together with a succession of dramatic scenes, are given with great rapidity and much pr6fusion. The whole entertainment is well put together, and the burlesque element prevails to a sufficient extent to render it impossible for the audience to lapse into serious contemplation. The accommodation and comfort of the audience has been carefully studied in every respect ; but it is only due to Mr. F. Burgess to state that he inva riably succeeds in pleasing his vast and extensive circle of acquaintances, who look upon him as one of the best acting managers before the public.

Another conjuror, and; very clever one, too, has appeared as a public entertainer, at St. Martin's Hall. M. Raphael de Mele has acquired some celebrity abroad, and from the neatness and dex terity with which his tricks are nightly performed he will doubtless increase his popularity as a presti digitateur. His programme is varied nightly, so that one increasing tide of novelty is kept up ; but some of his experiments are so exceedingly well performed and applauded that they are repeated nightly with great success. The mutilated card is a clever experiment, but the invisible balls we candidly confess puzzled us, and we admit that we failed to discover how a number of balls disappeared from one box only to appear in another made of glass. The Wonderful Distiller is a good and effective trick, and so also is that performed with the broken plate and looking-glass. The Chevalier, in the course of the evening, makes a v e r y pro f use distri ebnutteirotnainomf eflnotweeornse,loadindogoltvhitehr some small very pr graceful dancing by two ju ven il e performers, which in variably calls forth l ou d applause. rntetfhule SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
