ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. All the Stock Exchange Markets present a degree of firmness which is principally due to the cheapness of money, and the favourable manner with which late political troubles on the. Continent are being, settled. A satisfactory feeling is everywhere appa rent. The Funds have improved per cent., and Consols are 89 } for money, and 89i for the account. Italian, and most other descriptions of Foreign Stocks, are at enhanced prices. The inquiry for discount accommodation to-day is exceedingly limited, and the opinion is entertained in some quarters that, owing to the increase of the precious metals in this country, and especially at the Bank of England, the authorities will be enabled to lower their minimum next Thursday. The rates of the brokers continue to tend downward, and 31 per cent. is, in exceptional cases, the quotation for the negotiation of the best short-dated commercial Paper. • A sum of £78,000, including 43,000 sovereigns from Australia, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The following are the current prices of bullion : Bar gold, 77s 9d per oz. ; do., parting, 77s 10i d ; doubloons, Spanish, 74s 6d ; do., Mexican and South American, 73s 6d to 74s (scarce) ; United States eagles, 76s 24d ; bar silver, 5s ld ; do., con taining gold (5 grs. and upwards), 5s lid ; dollars, Mexican, 4s 118 d ; English cake silver, 5s sd. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. Sugar has barely supported previous prices, but a moderate demand has prevailed for coffee, and superior qualities maintain previous rates. Rice has been dull, and only moderate deal ings have been reported in tallow at slightly reduced rates for both present and forward delivery. The shareholders of the South Kensington Hotel Company, at an extraordinary meeting held yester day, unanimously agreed to oppose the winding up petition recently presented to the Court of Chancery. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and. Great Western Railway for the last week in September, amounted to $120,160 against $131,006 in the corresponding period last year, showing a decrease of 10,846. The receipts for the month of Sep tember were $526,959 against $540,537 in the same month of 1865. The receipts from Ist January to 30th September amount to $4,141,037 against $3,799,798, showing an increase of $341,239. The traffic returns of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company for the month of August amounted to £2,737. Two O'CLOCK. Affairs at the Stock Exchange have not been so dull as they were yesterday, but there is plenty of room for improvement, and business is exceedingly inactive. Values, however, are remarkably well sustained, and Consols remain firm at 89* 1 for nieney, and at 89/ I for the account. Several bargains have been recorded in the New Threes and .

He was at the Egyptian Hall in the morning, as usual, made several calls, and looked in at Mr. Mit chell's Royal Library, Old Bond-street, about two o'clock, and left there in a cab for his home. Upon his arrival it was evident, from the flow of blood, that he had ruptured a blood-vessel. He partook of his medicine only once, uttered two short words, and expired shortly afterwards, calm and unconscious. "In the midst of life we are in death" was never more fully exemplified than in the above melancholy event. MARKETS.—This Day. HAY.

This sei vice-was commenced in July last, and has been performed with punctuality up to the present time. It is, however, too early to judge of the value of this contract, but the directors believe that this extended service will materially benefit the Caae and Mauritius lines, and will afford a regular and increasing through traffic to India. The Cape and Mauritius service has been performed with the usual regularity during the past half-year, and without accident or casualty of any kind ; and although the late financial distress at the Cape colonies has had its influence on the trading operations of this company, the directors are enabled to recommend the payment of a dividend of £1 per share. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1866. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CHARGE OF PERJURY. Mr. Ribton applied to the Court for a postponement of the trial of Charles Mayhew, who was indicted for making false affidavits, with a view of obtaining remission of the fines inflicted at the Central Criminal Court for non-attend ance as jurors until next scasion, as ho was physically un able to attend. The application was granted. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A PAUPER LUNATIC. Henry Burton and Edward Morgan, two warders en gaged in the Surrey Lunatic Asylum, were indicted with assaulting a man named Tite; one of the unfortunate in mates in the establishment. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoners. • The following witnesses were examined : - Arthur Kennedy said he was painter, and on the 20th of Sept. ho was engaged at work at No. 2 ward of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, lie saw Tito in his cell, and soon aft.,r Sinis, the attendant, went in, told 'rite to get out, but he refused, but ultimately he began to dress himself. The two defendants afterwards wont in, and when Tito conic out he heard Lim say he wuuld shift himself and show the marks of ill usage to the surgeon. He (Tite) appeared to be suffering very much, and, finally, Tite said ho would be the death of the first person he met. He walked away, and the next thing he (witness). saw was Tite on the ground and Burton standing over him. Tito had hold of a chair. A whistle was blown, and then Morgan came in and went towards Tite and fell upon him. .He saw Morgan hit the man, and while he was doing so, Burton was at Tite's head holding him down. Cross-examined by Mr. Robertson.—He did not know there had been a fight with the lunatics the night before. Tite was very excited, but his threat to murder some per son was after he came out of his cell. The matter occurred on a Thursdity, and the first time he mentioned what he had seen was on the following Saturday. He and his master talked about the matter over their breakfast the same morning that it occurred. _ _ Fraser, another paintcr,•aaid he was engaged with the last at work at tho Surrey - tinatic ASylum on the day mentioned. He had but an impel feet view of Tite's cell, but he bad a good view of the whole of the gallery. Be tween six and seven in the morning he saw Tits, walking about the cell in a very excited state. He had' a chair in his hand. - A door opened, when the defendant Morgan came in, and seeing Tito threw him down. He kept his knee on his stomach, and punched him on the ribs. A whistle was then blown, and Burton and Hunt came in. While Morgan was punching the man Burton seemed to him to be holding Tito down. He was at his head, but he did not see him do anything to Tite except to hold him down. Tite was lifted up by Burton, and then Burton and Morgan (the defendants) again threw him violently down. They afterwards lifted Lim up, and put him into another room, and he then heard a noise as of some one falling. He afterwards heard Tite begging for mercy, two or three tiraes. Sims was in the ward, and he must have' seen all that was going on. Cross-examined—The lunatic was very much excited. Ho was swearing,, and then saw him take up the chair and swear that Le would do for every one. Had he met him abroad he should have considered him as a raving lunatic. He had known Tite as a patient for two or three years. Ho did not know that the ward in which the matter oc curred was called the refractory ward. Morgan rushed at Tito directly he came into the ward, and the chair, he thought, must have then dropped from his hand. Burton did mot come in until the whistle was blown, and after that the three persons, Morgan, Burton, and Sims, took Tite into the room or cell by force. They had all been in the cell about two or three minutes, when he heard Tite begging for mercy. The men had to carry Tito to the cell as he was so violent. Re-examined—He heard Tite call out " Have mercy, have mercy," two or three times. William Conn, another painter,. said at the time of the occurrence be was working in 62 ward. The first thing he heard was a patient holloaing, and on looking ho saw the defendant Morgan kneeling on the ribs of Tite, and holding him with one hand and striking him with the other. He heard Tite complain of the illusage, and threaten Mogan that he would toll the doctor. Morgan then threw him down and rammed his head against the ground until the blood flowed. Burton and Sims stood looking on at the time. Ho heard the whistle blown, and then Burton Wok the man to the sink, arid .he afterwards heard a chocking sound as of a man strangling. After that he saw Burton take the man by the back of the neck and throw him to the ground two or three times. Ile was so overcome that he did not observe what Morgan was doing at the time. Cross-examined—He did not see anything done with a chain. The two first rounds took place in Tite's cell. Morgan was the only person with Tite ; Sims and Burton were looking on. He saw Morgan kneeling on the patient, who was undressed. When Tite came out of his cell Burton took him to the sink. He did not know what became of Morgan and Sims, as he went on with his work. lie was workingiu one of thii cells Iwhen he heard the whistle, and then it was he came out into the g:dlery. Tite was not violent until after he had his " whalloping"— (laughter)—and it was not until Tite threatened to tell the doctor of the illusage that Burton threw him down and knocked Lis head on the floor until the blood spurted out. lie had not mentioned the blood spurting out of Tito's head until to-day, because he had not been asked the question. Tite was locked in his cell after he was brought from the sick ward. The threatening language was not made use of by Tite until after the illusage. He had had a private conversation with Tite as he sat in the recess. He asked Tite ho who felt. He was sure it was Burton who took Tile back to his cell. He had been told by the at torney not to say anything more than he was asked, and that was the reason he had not before spoken about the blood. Mr. Mitchell, head attendant at the Surry Lunatic Asylum, said Morgan had been engaged there for four years, and Burton about seven months. Sims was also a warder, and he bad charge of the ward in which Tite was lodged. On the 20th of September he first saw Tite. He was then asleep in his bed. At nine o'clock he saw him limping about the yard, and appeared very much beat. He spoke to Tite, and in conse quence of what ho said be (witness) spoke to Burton who requested him to tell what had occurred with respect to George Tite. He informed Burton 115 had been told something by Tite, and that he desired to know what he knew of the matter. Burton said he had seen Tite in an excited state, and hearing the alarm whistle he went into the ward to assist Sims. He said Tite hal a chair in his hand and was threatening to strike. He (Burton) went in company with Sims to take the chair from him. That a scuffle took place, but that he did not use any more force than was necessary to place Tito in his own room. He remarked that Something more than mere 'restraint had been resorted to, and he (Burton) said be had done nothing more than was necessary under the circumstances. Hu did not see 'Morgan until some time after. It was Sims duty to report the matter to him. Ile had been seven years in the asylum. No warder is allowed to strike a patient. _ . • Cross-examined—During the four years Burton had been in the service of the establishment he had never received any complaints about him. No. 2 ward was not the re fractory ward. Tite was not at the time of the occurrence a refractory patient, and he only had been so during the time ho was subject to fits. Ho had heard that Burgess, another patient, knocked 'Tito down, and Burton told hint of that early the next morning, but he did not know that a regular fight had taken place. Re-examined.—lt was six weekS previous to the occur rence that Tite had had fits. Dr. Grabham said he was medical attendant at the Asy lum. He examined the body of Tite, and found a bruise on the cheek bone, but ono bruise was over the breast bone. Tito complained very !much of the inside of hig mouth. Blood might have flowed frcm his gums two hours before. When he first saw Tite's body the bruises were not so apparent .as they became a day or two afterwards. He was of opinion that the injuries had been received but a few hours before ho made his examination. The bruise on the cheek bone might have been inflicted the day previous. He received no report relative to Tito from the Warders before ho made the examination. By Mr. Ribton—A knock down blow from Burgess would account for the bruise on the cheek bone. 'lie thought some blood might have run from the bruise on the cheek bone. By the Court—Be knew of no part atout the head that the blood could have spurted out. It might, however, from the gums. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Ribton then opened the case for the defence, and contended that no more force was used towards Tito than was absolutely necessary. George Frederick Townshend said he was attendant in No. 3 ward. He recollected a fight taking place between Tite and another patient named Burgess. Burgess was re moved, and afterwards Tite was taken to his cell. Burgess attempted to kick Tite, but ho prevented it. He did not see the beginning of tho fight. All he did was to remove both patients. lie had another patient to look after, who was at the time in a bath, and while doing so, Burgess and Tite got fighting again. Felix Sims said he was an attendant at the asylum. He recollected on the evening of the 19th September 'lite and Burgess having a fight. Burgess kicked Tite many times very violently. There was a bruise on Tite's cheek. Bur gess was taken to his cell, and Tite was told to keep himself quiet. Tite refused to do so, and he was forcibly put to bed. When he wont the next morning to Tite he told him it was time he got np. Ho refused to rise from his bed. He took the bed clothes front him and called Burton to his assistance. Tite, on Burton entering, flew at him and seized Lim by the arm, and with some difficulty it was disengaged from Tite. Ulti mately he became quiet, and be was taken to the sink to wash, and after that as he was sitting in the recess, he asked that his money and knife, which had been taken from him, might be returned. He told him it was all right, the doctor had them, and it would •be given him. In a short time after that he saw Tite with a chair in his hand, swearing he would do for anybody. Morgan closed with them, and they both fell. It is untrue to say Morgan knelt on Tite's chest, or that he punched him in the ribs. There was a struggle on the ground, but that was all. Burton Morgan took Tito to his room, but no unnecessary force was required. When Tite was in his own room he (witness) took off Tite's shoes, which he threw on the floor ono at a time. His necker chief and braces wore taken from him to prevent his doing himself an injury. He reported the case to the head at tendant. He was sure no more force than was necessary was used. John .Hunt and Joseph Murphy, warders in the asylum, both defendants only acted in their own defence. Tite had a knife in his possession, and had it not Wen taken from him fatal results might have ensued. The jury returned a verdict of guilty cn the first indict neut, with a recommendation to mercy, as it was possible :hey might have received provocation. Mr. Sl.igh said the visiting justices had thought it their July to prosecute the defendants, but they alsu wished it to be known that they had no complaint to make of pre vious misconduct. The Recorder said ho supposed that both the prisoners would be discharged from the a,v;um. Mr. Sivigh said that, of course, would follow th.. , conviction. The Recorder, in sentencing the prisoners, said it was possible that both of them might have lost their tempers, but it was important that it should be known that persons in their position must govern their tempers as far as it was in their power. Under all.the circumstances, the sentence of tile Court was, that they be imprisoned and kept to hard :abour for two months. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Alfred Kemp, a letter-carrier, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour, for stealing a letter. The case of Haddon has been fixod for to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MosEL—Ellen Sullivan, who is well known to the Metropolitan police as a member of a deSperate gang of females who infest Orutched Friars and the neighbourhood, was charged before Mr. Alderman T"innis with endeavouring to extort money from a gentle man named Wetherell, and abusing and threatening Mr. Deputy Bone. Mr. Bone said that about 6 o'clock last evening a gentle man took refuge in his shop, 44, Minories, being closely pursued by the prisoner and three other women. The prisoner followed the gentleman into the shop, and used the most obscene language to Lim, at the same time accusing him of wanting to take improper liberties with her niece. Wit ness interfered, and she abused him, threatening that unless he turned the gentleman out of the shop she would smash his windows. He believed that the women would have torn the gentleman to pieces if he had not been under his protection. He gave the prisoner in charge, and accom panied the gentleman to the station-house. The latter gave the name of Charles Wetherell as an address, but he understood that he was not in attendance. lie bore his testimony to the desperate character of the female ar.d her associates, who were a regular nuisance to the neighbourhood. The prisoner repeated the charge she had made against the gentleman at the station, which he had most positively denied. William Sanger, a house painter, deposed to having seen the gentleman pursued by the prisoner and five or six other women until he reached Mr. Bone's shop. He heard them demand money from the gentleman, and their con duct was most desperate. He heard tho prisoner also threaten Mr. Bone, and say that she would smash his windows. City Constable 298 said that he saw the prisoner struggling with another officer in John-street, Minorios, and he went to his assistance. It was with the greatest difficulty they carried her to the station, and she bit and kicked him and the other officer. The gentleman appeared to him to be a custom-house officer, and had an uniform under his outside coat, and he said he had just come from the ducks. City Constable 784 said that ho took tho prisoner into custody, she being charged by Mr. Bone with threatening him. The prisoner was quite sober, and she was one of the most desperate characters in the east part of London. There was another charge against the prisoner, but the worthy alderman thought it unnecessary to proceed with it, and sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' hard labour, and directed that, at the expiration of her sentence, she should find a surety to keep the F. , ace for two months.

JAMES lIANNAY TURNED CONSUL.--It is said that Mr. James Hannay has received the reward of his brilliant journalistic services to the Tory party, says the London Review, in the appointment, just conferred on him, of the consulship at Dunkirk. The reward is not a very magnificent one; but Mr. Hannay is not the man to linger very long in the shade anywhere, and he will probably make his way in due time to some superior post. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ILL-USED AND HALF• STARVED.—James Heap, umbrella maker, of o , :kley-street, LAmbeth, and Robert Pope, a lad in his employ, appealed before Mr. Tyrwhitt i to answer the complaint of Mr. Wm. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the first-named for causing a horse to be tortured by being worked while in au unfit state, and the latter with working it. Coote, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing Popo driving a horse attached to a cart in Pall-Mall, the horse having wounds on both shoulders and back. Pope said his master knew of the condition of the horse, as he had spoken to him about it three or four times. On asking Heap why he sent it out in such a condition, Heap said he did not know its condition. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the officer said the horse was badly fed. Heap said there was no wounds on the horse's back, it was only the hair rubbed off. The officer said that was not the case, and that Pope had told him that because he cut the collar to ease the horse he had been chastised for it. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining Heap 20s. or 1.1 days, said that the horse was not only illused, but half-starved into the bargain. Pope was discharged with a caution. THAMES. AN UNJUST STEWARD.—John Thomas, a man of colour aged 25, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing three bottles of French brandy. The prisoner is the steward of the ship Margaret Smith, lying in the West India Dock. He was leaving the dock yesterday afternoon and his bulky appearance attracted the notice of a constable, who searched him and discovered a bottle of brandy in each sleeve of Lis coat, and a third bottle of brandy under his arm. He said ho picked up the bottles of brandy in the forecastle of the Margaret Smith. On a reference to the chief officer of the ship, it turned out that the brandy was abstracted from the stores in the cabin of which the prisoner had charge. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr Paget sentenced him to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two mouths for the unlawful possession of the brandy. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. —William Ironside, a seaman, was brosght before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Paul Orchard, a police-constable, No. 321 K. The prisoner was intoxicated and making a disturbance in Mgh-street, Shadwell, last night, and tho constable re quested him to go home. He refused to do so, and made use of the most infamous language and threats. When the constable attempted to take him into custody he struck him several times, and on the way to the station-house ho kicked and plunged fearfully and gave much trouble. The prisoner, in defence, said he caine to London from Cardiff yesterday afternoon. Mr. Paget—And the first thing you do on reaching London is to get drunk and assault the police-constable. You am sentenced to ono month's duiprisonment and hard labour. James Donovan, an Irish labourer, was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour for assaulting police-- constable 334 K. The prisoner—Please to fine me, your honour. Don't send me to prison. . . . Mr. Paget—No, I will not impose fines in those cases. I wish it to be distinctly understood that in all cases of vio lence towards the police I shall commit the offenders to prison. That is the proper punishment. The police have difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and I will pro tect them. WESTMINSTER. THE SOCIAL EVIL IN THE PARKS.—Emma Andrews Elizabeth Lake, Elizabeth Haines, and Amelia Hubble, prostitutes, were charged with being drunk, riotous, fight ing, and using obscene language at Buckingham-gate. Sergeant John Davis, 19 A, said that at 2 o'clock that morning he was in Birdcage-walk, and saw prisoners with eight or ten other prostitutes, calling one another names, fighting, and making a noise. He ordered them to go away. They moved across the road, Andrews calling out with an oath, " You can't follow us now, we aro off your beat." Shortly after he hear the same noise, and found them f gliting again and using bad language, whereupon with assistance they were taken into custody. He know them all as frequenters of the park ; they were very noisy. Lake been had at Bow-street last week. • George Mew, 72 A, corroborated the last vvituess. They took two Prisoners each. Andrews, who was known by the name of Oxfordshire Emma, was very riotous all the way to the station. She could fight like a man, and was a deal of trouble. Andrews accused this witness of taking liberties with her on Sunday in the Park, and ascribed her presence before the magistrate this morning to her refusal. She was struck by a soldier and woman, and returned the blow. Lake had nothing to say, and the other two, who live in Drury-lane, said they were there quite by accident. The police proved that Andrews had been before con victed, and then she made an indecent charge against the constable. Andrews was sentenced to fourteen days and Lake to seven days' hard labour. Tho others were discharged with a caution. TIIE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA is suffering 1 4 . 0 n, severe illness. Ws Majesty's doctors recommend total abstinence from business for a time.

GREAT BRITAIN'S L:TTLENESS—occasionally - -Is thus illustrated by the Spectator:—" What is 'it which every now and then gives out Government so mean an aspect? The War-office is claiming all kinds of credit for accepting the Snider scheme of converting rifles. Mr. Snider spent eight. years of his life over it, and yet when he requested £2,700 for outlays and work done, he was re ferred by Lord Hartington to the solicitor to the depart ment, who awarded him £l,OOO. lie took it, and paid it away to his creditors, and is now lying sick, paralytic, and hopeless, while the inventor 'of the Prussian gun is an honoured and wealthy favourite of his Sovereign. It is said that on one occasion, in 1859, Mr. Snider was ordered to try a new gun with some Government powder and bul lets, and was sued by the department for their value, £1 2s. 9d.!

TREASURE TROVE.—An interesting discovery of silver coins took place at Stamford on Monday. A labourer, named John Christian, was excavating for sani tary purposes at the back of a house occupied by Mrs. Wyles builder, in St. George's-square, when hisspade struckupon an earthen jar, which proved to contain 2,800 silver coins, chiefly glottis of Henry V.. v 0.e., , t and Euglisu groats of Elward IV. of the Loudon Mint There were also a few half g roats of Elward ILL. The whole are ina fine state of preservation, many being almost as bright as on the day they were issued. The jar was found at a depth of only about a foot from the surface, and not more than Gin. from the foundation of the house. It iSprc bable that the site was formerly included hi St. George's churchyard, and that the coins were buried when the Lan castrians invaded Stamford durin g the wars of the Ruses . quOtaillOil of gold at Paris is about at par, aid ate Alert exchange on Loudon is U. 25 per .tt 5ter1.1.44. tII comparing these rates with the English Atha price oi A. loud. per ounce for standard gold, it appe-ls that eohl is a b o ut 3-10.1 is per CO carer fu Loudon than in Paris.
