XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, LVE 'CLOCK. No alt era ti on has been mad this morning in the official rates of discount at the Bank -of England, and the announcement has occasioned a slightly easier feeling. The demand for accommodation is rather active in consequence of the bills falling due on the 4th, and the rates generally obtained by brokers for first-class paper is 7 per cent.: The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1865. 1864.

Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67 t. 95c. Flat. Despite an exceedingly quiet business consequent upon a disinclination on the part of the public, the Funds have recovered I per cent., and the market, on the whole, seems buoyant. Consols are 891 for money, and 89 1-16th 3 16th for the account, and 89 9-16 1 1-16th for December. An improvement has also taken place in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities.

The operations in English Railway Shares have b een on a very limited scale, and prices have slightly given way. South Eastern and Midland have each receded 55., Great Eastern and Great Western each 10s., and North Western and Metro politan each 15s. The Canadian lines are firmer.

COMMENCEMENT OF TERM• The commencement of Michaelmas Term was inaugu rated this morning by the judges of the Superior Courts breakfasting with the Lord Chancellor at his private resi dence, Upper Brook-street. At the conclusion of the breakfast their lordships pro ceeded in procession to the respective Courts at West minster Hall, where they arrived shortly before two o'clock. There was a very crowded attendance in the Hall to witness the arrival of the judges ; and amongst the more noticeable circumstances were the ap pearance of the Lord Chief Justice of England, Sir A. Cockburn, in the procession, the warm reception awarded to Mr. Justice Shea, and the enthusiastic manner in which the latest elevation to the judicial bench, viz., Mr. Justice Lush, was received by the assembly. The cheering as the new judge made his appearance was of the loudest descrip tion, and fairly awoke the echoes of the ancient hall. His lordship acknowledged the compliment by repeatedly bow ing as he walked towards his court. _ The judges, having taken their seats, the business of the court commenced, but the applications and motions related to matters devoid of general interest. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. This being the first day of term Mr. Commissioners Goulburn and Holroyd did not sit until a late hour, in con sequence of their attendance at the Lord Chancellor's breakfast to the bar. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE GLADSTONE AND CO.-11 LE FAILURE FOR NEARLY ONE MILLION. This case has been mentioned very recently, the bank rupts having carried on a most extensive busines in Change alley, Cornhill. The liabilities aro nearly £1,000,000, and the assets depend upon the realisation of claims in America. To-day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge, but it was stated that the accounts had not yet been filed. Mr. Linklater observed that Mr. Joseph Hart, of the firm of Hart Brothers and Co., the accountants, of Moor gate-street, had been at work upon the books, but they had been so miserably kept that an adjournment was impera tive. His Honour granted an adjournment for two months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. WESTMINSTER. DOUBTFUL AFFAIR.—ALLEGED ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—Jane Simpson a shabbily-dressed woman, 27 years of age, described as a tailoress, of 10, Avery Farm row, Ebury-square, Pimlico, was charged with stealing 10 guineas from the person. Wm. Fryer, greengrocer, 65, Upper Garden-street, West minster, stated that at a quarter to:12 o'clock on Tuesday night he was in the Artillery Arms, Rochester-row, West minster, and thero treated the prisoner, and another woman who was in her company. Subsequently he and the pri soner came away together, to Vincent-square, where they remained a quarter of an hour, when she went away, say ing she would presently return. Immediately he missed his money, which, a short time before, had been safe in his jacket pocket, inside breast. lie then sought to find her till 3 o'clock, when he went home to bed, and next day made inquiries as to her whereabouts, which led to her apprehension. In cross-examination by Mr. W. D. Smyth, the prose cutor, after much pressing, admitted that ho might have been drunk, as he had been into several public-houses that evening. There was no other person present during the time they were in Vincent-square that ho knew of, but there might have been. He had his money safe an hour before, and during the time he was in conversation with the prisoner ho changed his purse from his trousers to his jacket-pocket. He told no policeman till 2 o'clock. He did not attempt to take liberties with the prisoner, nor did she repel his advances. He knew she was a married woman, and he, at the same time, was a married man. Police-constable 113 B proved apprehending the prisoner yesterday in the Munster public-house, Pimlico, but found no money on her. Prisoner, who declared that there were two other young women in their company who might have taken the money, Mr. Arnold consented to take one surety in £25, with notice to the police for her re-appearance. Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya, 3,453 tons, and 700-horse power, Capt. E. Lacy, was paid out of commission at Portsmouth yesterday, and attached to the steam reserve at the port to undergo a thorough overhaul and repair to hull and machinery, receive new boilers, and be completed in all respects for recommission as rapidly as possible. As, however, she has to pass through the usual course of dockyard reckless spoliation, in addition to necessary repairs, by which the cost of a ship's refit is always largely increased, and often nearly doubled, the time which must elapse before the himalaya will again be ready for troop service will necessarily be greatly in excess of any esti mate that could be formed from an inspection of her present condition. Naval officers who have witnessed the paying out of commission of their ships,. and have afterwards visited the same vessels in dock or basin when undergoing " repairs," acknowledge the habitual waste and extravagance of the established " system" in our national dock yards. The Himalaya was paid out of commis sion under the superintendence of Capt. Francis Scott, C. 8., and aide-de-camp to the Queen. Silver medals and gratuities for long service and good conduct were awarded by the Admiralty to John Hodge, captain's coxswain ; Samuel Jarman, sick-berth steward ; and John Dixon, corporal, Royal Marine Light Infantry. The Himalaya was commissioned at Devonport by Capt. Seccombe on July 1, 1861, who was succeeded in the com mand of the ship by Capt. Lacy on August 1, 1862. Since her commission by Capt. Seccombe she has been once round the world, calling in at the Cape, Ceylon, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, New Zealand, and Ascension ; six times to Quebec, twice to Halifax,• once to the West Indies, once to the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius, and seven times up the Mediterranean. The distances she has steamed and sailed and the fuel she has burnt have been as follows : Distance in Coals burnt. miles. Tons. Cwt. 1861 1862 1863 1864 28,664 1865 24,734 Totals The speed of the ship has averaged 10.2 knots per hour, made at a consumption of coals of one ton for every five miles of progress made. The immediate cause of the Himalaya being paid out of commission is the springing of her crank shaft pin in heavy weather during her last trip to America, the injury being caused, in the opinion of her officers and en gineers, by the " racing" of her engines. This is, we believe, the third time that the ship's engines have been disabled from the same cause, and, doubt less, now a remedy will be applied. Indeed, on the occasion of the Himalaya's return to Portsmouth from her last voyage but one the Admiralty called upon Mr. Hamilton, the agent for the " Silver's Governor," for an estimate of the expense and time of filling the Himalaya's engines with this very useful controlling power over the flow of the steam from the ship's boilers to her cylinders. The Himalaya possesses no controlling power of the kind at present, and consequently, when running before a heavy sea, she sets her engines " racing" whenever she rises on the top of a sea by lifting her screw out of the water and de creasing very materially the resistance to the engines' revolutions. Under this condition the engines in crease their revolutions so suddenly and largely that they cause their own destruction, as proved by broken and damaged crank shafts. Nor is this all, for, supposing the shaft and other portion of the engine to escape damage, by the time the ship has again descended into the trough of the sea the very steam pressure that ought to be available in lifting her again freely from the waters (and that would be if the admission of steam to the engines were regulated by a governor) has been expended in the rush to the cylinders and running away of the engines, and a loss of power and of speed each time this process is repeated is the natural result. The mercantile sea going marine has largely adopted the use of the " governor" simply on economical grounds, and the ships of the French Imperial navy are now each ordered to be supplied with one by order of M, Chasseloup Laubat, the Imperial Minister of Ma rine. A report has been current at Chatham during the last day or two that Mr. Reed, the Chief Construc tor of the Navy, had tendered his resignation of that post in consequence of the alleged dissatisfaction on the part of the Admiralty with the reports of the late trials of the paddlewheel despatch vessels Heli con and Salamis when under steam at sea. The rumour was more generally circulated on Tuesday, when it became known that Mr. Reed had not been at the Admiralty on the previous day. From in quiries made by our Chatham correspondent, how ever, we learn that the absence of the Chief Con structor on the day stated was solely attributable to indisposition, andthat the rumour, to which so much importance was attached, was without the least foundation.. With regard to the trials of the ves sels named Commander Singer, of the Helicon, who was the senior officer on board, has officially reported to their lordships that the Helicon— which has re cently undergone some important improvements from Mr. Reed's designs—steams a knot an hour faster than the Salamis when driven at full speed, and that her superiority becomes more apparent as the roughness of the sea increases. The Daphne, 18, one of the old class of sailing vessels, attached to the reserve in Chatham harbour, having been surveyed and pronounced unfit for further service, was yesterday towed round to the Thames, to be broken up at the ship-breaking yard of Messrs. Castle and Beech, Charlton. Her Majesty's iron paddle vessel Oberon, having been thoroughly repaired at Woolwich, went down the river for trial on Tuesday, in charge of Com mander Dillon, commanding the steam reserve at that port, under orders to make the usual run at the measured mile, but she was compelled to return to Woolwich, her injection tube being choked up. She then returned to the Royal Arsenal pier, and shipped her guns (two broadsides, one 70-pounder pivot gun, and two small boat's guns) and small stores, and lashed alongside the Hebe hulk, off the dockyard for examination and adjustment of defects, and is ordered to resume the trial to-morrow. Lieut.-Col. W. Grigor Suther, commanding bat talion of Royal Marine Light Infantry in Japan, having been ordered home with his battalion, yes terday reported himself at headquarters, Woolwich, on his return to England, preparatory to his ob taining leave of absence. The Conqueror, 78, screw steamship, Capt. W. G. Luard, in which the Royal Marines left England for service in Japan, sailed from Yokohama on the 24th of January next. On the arrival of Colonel Suther at Hong Kong on the 11th of September no tidings had been received of the Conqueror. This was attributed to the pre valence of the monsoon, which had already set in, and had most probably retarded her progress. The following officers at Chatham garrison have received orders from the Horse Guards to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation to join the headquarters of their respective regiments—viz, Capt. M. S. Morgan, 2d battalion 14th Regiment, and . Capt. M. de S. M. K. G. A.

Ward, Ist bat talion of the 12th Regiment, also to embark for New Zealand ; and Capt. F. L. Eldridge, Ist bat talion 20th Regiment, to embark for India, to join the service companies of his regiment. Colonel Shaw, unattached, lately Superintendent of the Invalid Depot at Chatham, yesterday took up his post at Woolwich as governor of the Her bert Hospital, which, after repeated delays, has at length been formally opened for the reception of the Royal Artillery patients. The invalids were all conveyed yesterday (175 in number) from the old infirmary to the new hospital in covered omnibuses and ambulance waggons, with the exception of two, who were not in a condition to be removed. Three new cases were also admitted into the new hospital from the barracks, completing the average number at this season of the year—namely, 180. The old hospital will be forthwith dismantled, and will be converted into headquarters for the Military Train.

This morning the Recorder, Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons (with his chaplain, the Rev. J. H. Coward, M.A., rector of St. Bennet, Paul's-wharf ); Mr. Sheriff Figgins (with his chaplain, the Rev. James Jackson, M.A., vicar of St. Sepulchre's, Snow-hill) ; Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., the Common Sergeant ; Alderman Gabriel, Alder man Allen, with other Aldermen who have - not yet passed tho chair, proceeded in state to the residence of the Lord Chancellor, No. 40, Upper Brook-street, for the purpose of presenting to his lordship, for her Majesty's approval, Mr. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, Alderman of the Ward of Far ringdon Within, who has been elected by his fellow-citizens to the high office of Lord Mayor of London for the year 1865-6. On arriving at the Chancellor's residence the civic authorities were most courteously received by his lordship, who was habited in his robes of State. The RECORDER, in addressing the Lord Chancellor, said he had the honour of introducing to his lordship Mr. Phil lips, who had been elected to serve the high office of Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. Mr. Phillips had been, from an early period of his life, engaged in commerce, and, by strictly honourable conduct in all his transactions, had succeeded in realising a handsome competence. In 1857, on the death of Mr. Alderman Kelly, the inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Within elected Mr. Phillips for the honour of the vacant Alderman's gown, and he had discharged the duties of his office to the entire satisfaction of his constituents and his fellow-citizens generally. In 1859 he served the office of Sheriff. He (the Recorder) be lieved that, in the high position he was now about to fill, the Alderman would continue to merit the approbation of the citizens of London ; and that, at tho close of his year of office, they would find that he had worthilymaintained the dignity of the Chief Magistracy, and carefully tended the institutions committed to his charge. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no doubt that Alder man Phillips would worthily perform all the duties im posed on him in connection with his high office ; and, on the part of her Majesty, he congratulated the citizens of London on the choice they had made. The "loving cup" was then handed round ; and, after an exchange of courtesies, the civic party returned in state to the Guildhall. .., The Lord Mayor Elect will be sworn in on Wednesday next, the Bth inst., when he will receive tho insignia of office from the present Lord Mayor (Alderman Hale), and will at once assume the duties of the Mayoralty. On the following day there will be the usual State visit to the Court of Exchequer, and the banquet at Guildhall. Tho Lord Mayor Elect is a Jew. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

GEORGE'S BATHS AND WASH HOUSES.— Elizabeth Ayres, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Barker with the following robbery at the St. George's Baths and Washhouses, Davies-street, Berkeley square. Mrs. Sarah King, of 21, Luton-street, Lisson-grove, said that having missed a sheet from off a horse at the baths, and suspecting the prisoner she went after hor, and see ing her in the street outside the baths she lifted her shawl, and under it found the sheet she had missed, and which was of the value of 7s. Gd. Police-constable Iretticar, 171 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody at the St. George's Baths, she said that she was very hard up, and had taken the property, as she wished to get to Oxford. She also told him that she had lived at Mr. Webb's, a butcher, near Leicester square, and on going there he heard a rather unfavourable account of the prif,oner, several articles being missed. Mr. Baker asked the prosecutrix whether she was aware if such robberies were frequent. The prosecutrix said they were. Mr. Baker asked the prisoner whether she wished to say anything. The prisoner said sho was guilty. Mr. Baker said that persons using the baths and wash houses must be protected, and committed the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. THAMES. A DISORDERLY LINENDRAPER.—Luke King, a very smartly dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Part ridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly and break ing a window at the H division station-house in Leman street. Daniel Higgins, a police-constable 60 H, stated that last night at ten o'clock the prisoner was making a groat dis turbance outside the station-houso in Leman-street, and when remonstrated with he became very violent, and rushed into the station-house-yard, where he broke a pane of glass. The prisoner was proceeding to futher violence when he was captured and takenbefore the inspector. Two constables were compelled to hold him while the charge was being taken. The Prisoner—l dare say what the policeman says is all true, but why was I locked up all night ? The police might have sent to my employer at No. 79, High-street, White chapel, and he would have bailed me. Mr. Partridge—What do you say to the chargo of being drunk ? The Prisoner—That was an accident. Mr. Partridge—You are fined ls. for breaking a pane of glass, Is. 6d. the value of the glass, and 20s. for being drunk and disorderly, and, in default, 14 days' imprison ment. A VERY SINGULAR CASE.—Mary Ann Tisson, a married woman, well-dressed, who appeared to be labouring under great mental anxiety and suffering, and who fainted during the proceedings, was charged with being drunk and die orderly, and threatening to throw her child into the Re gent's Canal, near the Globe Tavern, in the Mile-end-road. The prisoner was seen in the Mile-end-road last night with her little girl, aged seven years. She inquired of a young man named Hunett where she could obtain a lodg ing. He directed her to Bath's coffee-house, in the road, and said if she was not successful there she could obtain a lodging for herself and child at the Union Workhouse. Directly afterwards he heard the _prisoner talk about throw ing her girl into the water. • He walked a few yards and heard the girl scream'and call out for help. The girl was labouring under great terror, and said her mother intended to throw her into the canal, and clung to the young man. The prisoner was given into the custody of Carter, a police constable, No. 78 K, who was informed the prisoner had thrown another child into the water and drowned it. The prisoner, who is thirty-nine years of age, quarrelled with her husband, a corn porter, last night. He found only a handful of fire in the grate when he came home, and no supper. He ordered her to leave the room, and she went out and seated herself at the door with her child for an hour, and then strayed away from her home. Her husband said she was addicted to strong drinks, and .he believed she was not quite right in her mind. He lived at No. 24, William-street, Bethnal green, and was employed in Camden-town. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week to in quire into her state of mind, and whether there was any truth in the statement that she had drowned one of her children. SOUTHWARK. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A MERCHANT.-Mr. Jeremiah F innigan, described as a general merchant, was charged before Mr. Burcham, this morning, with assaulting Isaac Solomon, a member of the Hebrew persuasion, carrying on business as a clothier in the Borough. The prosecutor stated that he and the prisoner lived in the same house, 92, Windsor-terrace, Dover-road, South wark, the prisoner having brought a woman, whom he said was his ,wife, and a child. Ho (prisoner) was not more than a fortnight in the house, and there had been no inter course between them. Shortly before 11 o'clock last night, while he was in bed, the prisoner burst into his room with a poker in his hand. He jumped out of bed, and was about putting on his trousers, when the prisoner struck him a terrific blow with a poker on the arm, which was severely bruised, and which ho could scarcely move. There had been no altercation between them, and the assault was totally unprovoked. Mr. Edwina, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, cross-examined the prosecutor at some length. His bed room was on the second floor, and the prisoner had to come upstairs to get into it. He swore positively that he gave the prisoner no provocation whatever, and not a word passed between them on the occasion in question. The prisoner was drunk. He knew nothing about the prisoner further than that he was a lodger in the same house, which belonged to his (prosecutor's) mother-in-law. Nothing further was elicited. 42 M said that about 11 o'clock last night he heard the cry of " police," and went to the house in question and succeeded in getting an entrance. Ho saw tho prisoner with a poker in his hand strike the prosecutor, who had come down stairs. He kicked witness. Mr. Edwins said that he was not instructed to make any defence on tho part of his client, further than that he was very drunk at the time he committed the assault, and mistook the prosecutor for another party. He trusted tho magistrate would afford the prisoner an opportunity of settling with the prosecutor, and he was authorised to say that his client would make an ample apology, and not enter Mr. Solomon's house again. linr. comes Burcha 'preposterous that a ma appears any provoc a ti on , homem (wadrmru drunk, (warmly)—lt d :tp w p breaks into the bed - room of a fellow-lodg er i n th e m iddl e of the night, and ass aulti ng him in the savage w a y de scribed.

Katie cut out tho work, followed by Basilisk and Agnes, the others lying well up, with the exception of Sly Fox,who was some fouror five lengths in the rear. In this order they proceeded over th o fence into the field on the far side, where Jesuista took up the run ning, followed by Arlescott and Katie. Whilst going along the fiat the latter dropped rapidly into the rear. Approaching the artificial brook, Jesuista held a clear lead, and Sly Fox having drawn forward, was going on side by side with Arlescott, Farnborough being close up with the pair, Katie toiling on many lengths in the rear. They ran thus to the far side, where Farnborough took the second place, but shortly afterwards was headed by Sly Fox ; Arlescott still following, well up. About three quarters of a mile from the finish, Jesuista, when still leading, broke down, and dropping rapidly astern was dismounted before reaching the winning Bold. Upon the latter retiring Arlescott took up the running, and was soon in possession of a long lead, which he retained to the last fence, when Farnborough came up with a wet sail, and, catching him at every stride, a good race ensued from the half distance ; but, Farn borough never getting quite up, was defeated by a head. Basilisk, pulling up, was a bad third, Sly Foxfourth, Katie and No Name next. A gnes walked in, and did not pass the post, and J esu i s t a, whose jockey dismounted, walked in with the crowd. An objection was lodged against the winner, on the ground of Mr. Rickaby being a professional jockey, and the matter was ordered to stand over for deci sion until 12 o'clock on Thursday.

The steamship Atlanta, of the Atlantic Coast Mail Steamship line, running between New Orleans and this city, was wrecked on Sunday morning last, from the springing a leak while in a very heavy Sea, about 300 miles south of Sandy Hook. There were 17 passengers, including four ladies and one child, and 35 officers and crew on board at the time, of whom only one passenger and four of the crew have been saved. The ill-fated vessel started from New Orleans on the 7th October, with a full cargo of cotton and 17 passengers and crew. Up to Thurs day, the 12th inst., the weather was all that could be desired, there only being just enough wind to fill the sails. The passengers were all in the highest spirits, expecting soon to be released from the tedium of a sea voyage, but were doomed to a sad and bitter disappointment. On Thursday night, the 12th instant, a stiff breeze commenced blow ing from the west, together with a consider able sea running, which continued, to in crease in violence as the night wore on. Thursday night was a night of some anxiety to every one on board, and all hoped that the storm would abate in the morning. Friday morning came, but with it the storm had not abated, and yet no fears were ap prehended for the real safety of the Atlanta until on that day, when it was discovered she had sprung a leak, and was making water freely. The cry went immediately through the ship ; and the captain, with commendable firmess, entered the cabin, and told the passengers to keep calm and to prepare for the worst. Every one took it with great coolness, the ladies immediately commencing to dress and put on life-belts. In the meantime the pumps were set to work, and throughout Friday night and Satur day were steadily pumping, with the hope that the steamer might be kept afloat until some friendly sail should appear ; but the water steadily gained, until on Saturday night it had reached the furnaces and covered the coal bunkers, ex tinguishing the fires, thus depriving the pumps of the power necessary to keep them in operation. It was evident that the vessel could not last long, with the heavy seas dashing and sur ging around ; and the captain, seeing there was no hope of saving the vessel, turned his attention to the passengers, who had up to this time preserved the greatest good order through the terrible ordeal. The gale still continued, and with the loss of the engines by the putting out of the fires the vessel could not get steerage way, and fell off into the trough of the sea, each succeeding wave making a clear breach over her, sweeping the decks with terrific force. land every one began to give himself up to God. Throughout the whole of Saturday night the ves sel still kept above water, when at 8 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the vessel smashed up into three distinct pieces, leaving only one portion of the amidships, about 30 feet long, afloat. The scene was now heartrending and perfectly indescrib able, every one striving to save himself on some spar or other floating object. Numbers got on the amidships, but were immediately washed over board, only five escaping by clinging to the wreck with all their might. The last time the captain was seen he was struggling in the water, and ma naged to get hold of a cotton bale, but was imme diately obliged to let go on account of the rolling around of the bale. He then caught hold of a platform which was floating about, and nothing, further is known respecting him. The fire sur vivors found themselves on the raft, or amidships, without a single_ mouthful to eat or a drop of water, and were exposed to the inclement weather, having very little clothing upon them. On discovering their situation they placed a small white hand kerchief on a stick, in order to attract the atten tion of any vessel which might happen to pass within sight, and which, most fortu nately for them, served the desired purpose. During the two and a half days they were on the raft they suffered greatly from hunger and the intense thirst to which they were subjected. Each day they eagerly scanned the horizon for the signs of approaching sails, and were at last rewarded by the appearance of sails in the distance, which proved to be the barque William E. Anderson, from Mobile. They immediately began to wave the white hand kerchief to attract the attention of the vessel, and the captain noticing it at once directed his course towards the wreck, bearing up as near as the rough sea would permit. The boats were then • lowered, and soon reached the wreck, and secured them from impending death. They were then transferred to the William E. Anderson from the boat. They offered their most sincere thanks to their preserver, Capt. Pierce, who did all in his power to render thein as comfortable as possible, giving them nou rishing food and medicine, and landing them in New York yesterday morning.
