MONEY - MARKET AN , COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A full average amount of business has been transacted to-day in the general Discount Market, and owing to a slight increase in the number of inquiries the rates have exhibited more firmness, though no quotable alteration has taken place. A further influx of £26,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The directors of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per Douro, the following report, dated gorro Velho, 29th July, 1865 :—Produce, second division of July, 11 days, 1 0,900 oitavas ; yield, 5,888 oitavas per ton ; re 'pittance, 73,464 oitavas, equal to 7051- lbs. troy. In the weekly return of the Bank of France there appears a decrease of £58,850 in the bullion. The c ommercial bills discounted have received an addi tion of £1,837,048. A call of £5 per share has been made by the directors of the Alliance Bank on the issue effected in 1864, and numbered 30,001 and upwards. It has been announced that Mr. M. G. Alberti, of the firm of Oppenheim, Alberti, and Co., has Joined the council of direction of the Imperial Otto /Ilan Bank at Constantinople. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69 f. 30c. Firm. Nothing of importance has taken place to-day in the market for the English Funds, and Consols have closed 90 1 for money and the same for the account, and affairs show an exceedingly firm tendency. The New Three per Cents. are 881, and Reduced An nuities 881 1, both ex dividend. In the Foreign Market there has been an im provement, as will be seen by the official list. Mexican New close at 231 ; and Spanish Passive, at 294 30. Other descriptions show little altera tions of importance. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather animated, but prices generally show symp toms of depression. North Western have declined ss. ; Great Western, 10s. ; Midland, 15s. ; and Great Northern A Stock, £1; while South • , Eastern have improved 55., and Metropolitan, 10s. The Foreign and - Colonial lines remain without any material change as regards values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are firmer. Im perial Ottoman are dealt in at 154 164. ; Alliance Bank at 321 ; London and County at '771 78; Hindustan, China, and Japan at 20 22 ; General ereclit and Finance at 5f ; National Discount Com pany, at 151; and Joint-Stock Discount, at 84.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. BOW-STREET. CAPTURE or A SMASHER.—Edward Cannon was placed at the bar, charged with passing a large quantity of coun terfeit coin in his possession. From the evidence of Mr. Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, the prisoner was taken into custody last night in Southampton-buildings, Holborn, and on his person were found 34 shillings, seven florins, seven half-crowns, and five crowns, all counterfeit. He struggled violently when taken into custody. Prisoner is a native of St. Luke's, a locality famous for the number of coiners residing there. He was at the last session of the Central Criminal Court acquitted of a similar charge. He was remanded. ROBBERY AT MESSRS. MAPLE's.--,Tarnes Harris, French polisher, was charged with stealing a quantity of table cloths and other woollen goods, the property of Messrs. Maple, of Tottenham-court-road, and Samuel Tyrell, a labourer, residing in the neighbourhood of the Hampstead road, was charged with receiving a portion of the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The evidence wont to show that the property was kept in a loft in the workhouse, and that the prisoner, who was in the employ of the firm, used to visit the loft with the view of removing furniture therefrom for polishing, but in reality he used to secret a quantity of the woollen goods about his person and convey portions of them to the pri soner (Tyrell's) house. A large quantity of duplicates for property belonging to Messrs. Maple was also found, but the person pledging the same was a female. The prisoners were taken into custody by police unstable 80 E. The loss of Messrs. Maple for depredations during the last twelve months was stated to be over.l,ooo. Both prisoners were formally committed for trial, but they were remanded for the purpose of ascertaining whe ther the female pledging the property could be secured. The Alleged Murder of a German. INQUEST THIS DAY. This morning Mr. John Humphrey; the East Middle sex coroner, held his inquisition at the London Hospital on the body of Joseph Kitchen, the unfortunate man who lost his life under tho circumstances detailed in our co lumns on Thursday. Leonard Kitchen, the deceased's son, was the first witness called, but his evidence was similar to that given at the magistrate's examination of the accused. He said Jacob Brenner worked for his father. On the Sunday evening when the unfortunate occurrence took place he was asleep, but he was awoke by his father calling out for assistance as Brenner was assaulting him. Brenner went away, but when a short time afterwards his father went into the street Brenner stabbed him in the abdomen. His father never had a serious quarrel with Brenner, and he could not tell what led to the dispute on Sunday. Both deceased and the accused were sober. His father was in the first quarrel wounded in the arm, and he believed the same knife produced the injuries which caused his death. After a short deliberation, the jury found a verdict of manslaughter against Jacob Brenner. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. Probate of the will of the Right Rev.

Prisoner came into her garden, using most horrible language, and, pick ing up some enormous stones, as large nearly as her head, threw them at her. They broke in the panel of the door, smashed the window sashes in, broke several glasses, a picture, and other property. One of the stones struck her daughter on the head, and likewise her child. She never gave her any provocation at all. Prisoner elicited nothing in cross-examination from this or the other witnesses. Mary Luby, 9, Bolton-gardens, said, she saw prisoner and her sister throwing these stones at the window, and using most violent threats. Witness interfered, and pri soner and her sister struck her repeatedly in the face, causing her to bleed very much. Mary Sullivan, daughter of the first witness, corrobo rated her mother, and stated that she had to get over seve ral walls to get to tho police-station, and avoid being assaulted. Ann Gollagher, a distant relation of prisoner, daughter of Mrs. Sullivan, proved the damage done, and further stated that prisoner threw a pail of water through the win dow. She threw a stone, which struck her on tho head, as well as her child. Prisoner said, if they came out of the house, she would murder them all. When witness was coming to the court this morning prisoner met her, called her fearful names, and said, if she came and gave evidence against her, she would cut her eye out. Her sister said she would kill her if she came, and she really was afraid to move out of the place. Prisoner said she was called fearful names first, and other persons besides her joined in the assault. Mr. Selfe said he should have the prisoner's sister before him. If the prisoner could not produce evidence to alter his present opinion before the van went away, she would go for 14 days' hard labour, and he should order her to find good and substantial bail. THAMES. SINGULAR AND ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A YOUNG WOMAN.—Jeremiah Sullivan, an Irish labourer, and Caro line Sullivan, his wife, a dirty and dissipated couple, who have given much trouble to the police on many occasions, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Leary, a young Englishwoman, who is very respectably connected. The face of the complainant was one mass of bruises and contusions, and her eyes were blackened and swollen. Her husband is a seaman, and is now prosecuting a voyage at sea. She obtains a living as a sempstress, and inhabits a front room in the house, No. 68, Spencer-street, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoners with whom she could not and did not associate were living in the back room adjoining. On Wednesday night last they came home intoxicated and made a disturbance. They quarrelled with the landlady, and used some very bad language respecting Mrs. Leary, who went into the kitchen, laid her hand on Mrs. Sullivan's arm, and said to her, " Now, my good wo man, don't make a noise, and go to bed." This gentle ex postulation aroused the fury of Mrs. Sullivan, who scratched Mrs. Leary's face and bit her on the arm, inflicting a severe wound. Mrs. Leary sought refuge in her own room and barricaded her door with chairs and tables. For three quarters of an hour was Mrs. Sullivan endeavouring to effect an entrance. She was armed with a pair of tongs, and knocked with great force at the door. Her husband called out, " Give it to her, Carry ; kno - ck the door in. Mrs. Sullivan at last got tired out and went to bed, leav ing Mrs. Leary in a state of terror. The complainant sought no redress for this outrage. Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, the prisoner again came home intoxicated, and quarrelled with every ono in the house. Mrs. Sullivan knocked at the complainant's door, and with fearful oaths and threats ordered her to come out. Mrs. Leary begged her to retire to her own house. The male prisoner, who acted like a raving madman, called out "Burst open the door, Carry ; give it her." The door was forced, the pri soners entered Mrs. Leary's, and a most furious and savage attack was made upon her without the semblance of pro vocation. The male prisoner hit the complainant with his fist, and then took a large key off the complainant's wash hand stand, and beat her with it over the head, face, and eyes. Mrs. Leary was bleeding very much, and went to the front window and called out " Murder!" Mr. Passmore, a respectable master hatter, No. 63, Sutton-street, opposite Spencer-street, and others, attempted to enter at the window and failed. Mr. Passmore then handed a poker to Mrs. Leary, and said "defend yourself." Mrs. Sul livan, who had her hand in Mrs. Leary's hair, and was beating her, took the poker away and handed it to her hus band, who struck Mrs. Leary with it, and stunned her. The prisoners then left the room. They were soon afterwards captured by the police. Several witnesses, including Mr. Passmore, confirmed the statement of the complainant. Mr.Paget said the prisoners had committed a most savage, brutal, and unprovoked attack on the complainant, and but for the prompt and lucky assistance of neighbours she would have been murdered. A furious and deliberate attack was made on a young woman because she was quiet and inoffensive. He convicted the prisoners of an aggravated assault, and sentenced them each to four months' imprison ment and hard labour, and afterwards to find good bail to keep the peace for four months longer.

CORONER'S INQUEST. —(THIS DAY.) At eleven o'clock in the forenoon Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, opened an inquest in the Board-room of Camberwell Workhouse, on the body of Mr. John Godfrey, aged 64, a master butcher, of Brixton, who was found drowned in the Grand Surrey Canal, under the following circumstances : Police-constable William Baylis, No. 326, of the P divi sion, said that at a quarter to five o'clock on Thursday morning last he was on duty near the waters of the Grand Surrey Canal, when his - attention was called to the deceased in the water. With assistance he got the body ashore, and it was removed to the dead-house of the parish. He searched the body, but found no marks of violence upon it, and only a calico handkerchief in his pockets. There was no money found on his person. Mr. James Jarmyn, of Roslyn-cottages, Denmark-street, Camberwell, said that he knew the deceased, and last saw hi.n alive on Monday evening at his own house. He was there with him for at least an hour. He was related to him by marriage on his wife's side. On Monday night he was excited, and witness thought he had been drinking more freely than he usually did. He was more communicative to him than others, and he complained of his feet and the rushing of blood to his head. He was a man of full habit of body, and he took salt and water in order to purify his body, and he expressed a fear that he might be attacked with a fit and die suddenly. He carried on business up to the time of his death. He had diligently searched his lodgings, but he found no - writing likely to throw the least light as to how he got into the water. He had frequently complained that he ought to have been better off. He alluded to the money he had spent himself, and also what he had through friends. He had no necessity for being near the canal. Two daughters lived with him on good terms. Witness had no doubt whatever that he had destroyed his own life. Up to 10 years ago ho had been in the habit of drinking to such an extent that he was seized with a fit of madness, and he left his home and pro ceeded to Norfolk, wandering away through drinking. He gave up entirely drinking until two years ago, when he became ill, and the doctor ordered him to take sherry and water, which he did, and since then had been drinking ex cessively. He attributed the act to his drinking so greatly. Miss Jane Godfrey, one of the daughters, said that she last saw her father alive on Wednesday night last. He had been drinking freely that day, and several days previous. Witness, her sister, and the male and female servant, re tired to rest, but finding that he was not, as she supposed, up, thought that he was still sleeping ; but about half-past seven o'clock the female servant came to her and told her that his bed was vacant. Sh 3 went to his room, and found that he hatl left the house surreptitiously during some time of the night, and the next she heard of him was that he had been found in the Grand Surrey Canal. By the Coroner—She felt satisfied that he had destroyed his own life. He frequently had a vacant look, and he trembled very much, and she feared that he would die in a fit. Sho had frequently spoken to her sister upon the subject of his excessive drinking. She accounted for his going away 10 years ago from the fact that he was suffer ing from the effects of drink, and he did not know where he was wandering•to. She thought at times that his mind was lost. The learned Coroner summed up, and the jury, after con sulting, returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed his own life, whilst in an unsound state of mind through excessive drinking of ardent spirits." The proceedings then terminated. Trade of Russia. Some interesting particulars have just been pub lished respecting the trade Of Russia with Europe in 1864. According to these data exports in that aga i i n nst lB63 by 140. Ofo v t e h r es 3 e o I m 6 i 4 llion mil s 2 m li ay o e n aor s u w enxt e ie r ne e ge s d e te n od t l i t o 7hl E ose urope, and 6 millions to Finland. The exports of grain (54 millions) showed an in crease of 10 millions ; wool (19 millions) exceeded the previous year by 4 millions ; and linseed by 6 millions (18 against . 11). The exports of flax and tallow on the other hand each diminished by 700,000 roubles, the former in 1854 being 15 millions, the latter 9 millions. The chief remaining articles of export were hemp and wood (5 millions each), bristles, tow (2 millions each), cattle, potashes, various unworked metals, hempen thread, oil seeds, rope, butter, and undressed leather (1 million each) ; hemp and flax fabrics, raw silk, linseed and hempseed oil, furs, gallnuts, fish, oil, horses, rags, candles, and caviare (half a million each). In the total exports raw produce is represented by upwards of 154 millions, and from 15 to 20 millions only re main for manufactured goods. In 1863 the export of bullion amounted to 59 millions, in 1864 to 21 millions. It will be remembered that in 1863 the Bank of Russia exchanged its notes for coin up to sth November. The Imports in 1864 showed an increase of 17 millions over the previous year, amounting altogether to 144 millions, three of which were derived from Finland. Goods not sub ject to duty imported by Government and companies from abroad are not included in these figures, but will be comprised in future accounts, as it is evident no proper commercial balance can other wise be struck. The chief plate among articles of import is occupied by cotton, in value 22 mil lions, against nine in the preceding year. Tea fol lows with eight millions against previous ten. This latter reduction is due to the increase of duty upon imports taking place across the European land frontier. A diminution was also observed in sugars (eight millions against ten), wine (seven against eight), metals, fish, silks, and drugs. In crease, after cotton, was perceptible in the import of machinery and models (seven millions to five), coals (increase one million), wool (one million), chemical products (one million), salt (two millions), worked linens (one million), woollen and hempen fabrics, &c. THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—On Thursday morning at 5 o'clock a collision took place between two goods trains at Castlecary station, whereby a large amount of damage was done to property, but, fortunately, there was no loss of life. The facts of the accident, as far as we could gather, were as follows : A goods train leaves Glasgow at 3 b 0 a.m., and stops at Castlecary to put off and take on l uggage trucks ; and a second luggage train leaves Glasg ow at 4 30 a.m., and in first trainPsiejunct ion,when si gna ll ed, to take on trucks. at The arrived all ri g ht at C astlecary, stops and the conductors proceeded to leave the trucks addressed to the station and take on the luggage - waggons ready for transport. In doing so, guard's van and other trucks for stations at a greater distance were ordinarily left on the " up line," while the engine was employed in shunting the waggons in the sidings at Castlecary goods station. Owing to the unusually large amount of goods ready for convey ance at the station, the first train was delayed longer than usual. No danger, however, was apprehended, as the red signal was shown at the signal -post on the Glasgow side of the Castlecary station. The 4.30 a.m. train passed Campsie Junction without stopping, as no -signal was made to stop, and approached Castlecary at the usual hour, about 5 o'clock. The driver, named James Miller, it appears, did not per ceive the danger signal, for he ran his train right on to Castlecary station, where it came into violent collision with the part of the early train which was standing on the up line. A large amount of damage was caused by the accident, the 4.30 train smashing completely the guard's van, a whisky van, and five other trucks; so great was the force with which the second train came up that one truck was lifted right over the engine, and another rested entirely on the boiler of the engine. Fortunately, the guard of the first train was employed on the side-lyes in superintending the leaving off and taking on of the trucks at the goods station. Had he been in his own van ho would doubtless have been instantaneously killed. The line was wholly blocked up for some time, but as sistance was telegraphed for from Croy, and a special train was despatched from the station with several labourers, who instantly began to clear the line in time for the early passenger train, but which was not totally cleared till five hours after the occurrence of the accident. The only per sonal injury sustained was by Miller, the driver of the second train, who was thrown off his sngine by the force of the collision, and received several severe bruises on the left leg..—Scotsman, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day, LONDON, Sept. 2.—Wind this :day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze and fine weather.

Lartet, read by Mr. Milne Edwards, concerning a lamina of fossil ivory found in an ossiferous bed near Perigneux, and having the figure of a mammoth rudely engraved on its surface. A plaster cast of the specimen accompanied the letter, in which M. Lartet stated that in the month of May, 1864, he accompanied M. de Verneuil and the late Dr. Falconer to one of tho caverns called La 3ladelaine, which he (M. Lartet) had explored in company with the late Mr. Christy. Some workmen were engaged at the time in con tinuing the excavations, and the visitors were in time to lee five fragments of an ivory lamina brought to light. The pieces being fitted together again, M. Lartet showed Dr. Falconer numerous but shallow lines sunk into the surface, and which seemed to represent an animal. Dr. Falcoaer recognised the head of an elephant, and upon a closer inspection remarked, besides other parts of the body, a cluster of lines intended to represent the long haired mane which formed the characteristic feature of the mammoth or elephant of the Glacial period. This pecu liarity had been verified beyond a doubt in 1799 by Mr. Adams of the Academy of St. Petersburg, who dis covered a whole mammoth, flesh and bone, im bedded in the ice near the mouth of the Lena. A bunch of the hair of this same mammoth may be seen at the museum of the Garden of Plants. M. Lartet mentions several other scientific gentlemen who have examined his ivory lamina, which adds a new proof to the many already collected of the co-existence of man with the fossil element (elephas primigenius) and the other great berbliora and carnivora which geologists believe to have lived in the first phases of the quaternary period. Another remarkable discovery was made about the same time on the same spot : it consisted of a number of bones of the ovibos moschatus or musk-ox, lying together with the bones of the fossil bear, reindeer, horse, &c., and evi dences of the industry of man. The musk-ox now lives in the Arctic regions of America, and is never to be found below the 60th degree N.L. Hence during the quaternary period, the temperature of France in the Perigord must have been equal to that of the highest latitudes alluded to. QUARANTINE.—In a paper addressed to the French Academy of Sciences, M. Grimaud de Gaux examines this important question, in which, he observes, Governments are subjected to pressure from two different quarters; for, on the one hand, publio health requires effi cient protection against the invasion of s cour g es which may be imported, and, on the other hand, trade suffers from the restrictions imposed upon it for sanitary purposes, and loudly calls for the suppression of quarantines. Hence the interests of humanity, which in France apply to 37 millions of souls, are opposed to the interests of trade, Whi c h concern about two millions of persons, exclusive of travellers. In 1846 a medical theory concerning contagion was propounded in favour of the commercial view of the case, and, after a long and violent discussion, the Govern ment thought proper to modify its quarantine regulations. M. Grimaud now points to the state of things on the Medi terranean coasts, and contends that the results have refuted the new theory completely, trade being injured by the very relaxation of quarantine allowed to protect its interests. When, in a thickly-peopled country, an illness assumes an epidemical character, every one fears for himself, and hastens either to quit the spot, or to lay efficient obstacles in the enemy's way. Theories relating either to contagion or infection are understood by no one, and no one cares to understand them : it may be human weakness, it may be ignorance, but certain it is that nobody has any faith in the efficacy of any sanitary measure short of the absolute suppression of all communication with the infected locali ties. M. Grimaud himself considers this latter course to be perfeCtly rational. "For," says he, " if a disorder, whether epidemical or contagious, passes from one place to another, and from one individual to another, there must have been circumstances favouring this emigration and transmission ; some special element, some ferment, some germ detached from a body must have been transported to some other body, where it must have developed itself so as to produce new ferments and new seeds." Our author, therefore, is a • zealous advocate for the strictest quarantine. 'OSSII ITIli;S. 97i I 109/ The Fifty-Rouble Itiote Forgery. Th. following appeared in our third edition of las evening : The case against the prisoner Anceney, wL o was charged with being concerned in the manufacture of an immense quantity of fictitious notes for 50 roubles on the Bank of Russia, was completed this afternoon at the Marlborough street Police-court. The case has been fully reported in The Sun. It will De recollected that the prisoner Anceney had occupied a house at Datchet, and that there Inspector Thomson and Ser geant Mulvany captured a printing press, some rough copies of the forged notes, and a variety of photographic plates, from which the notes had been struck. There was a man named Nicholas, in whose apartments a box con taining some more plates were found, but it was believed that he was not at all 'concerned in the forgery. Sergeant Mulvany, to-day, said, in addition to his evidence, that he was left in charge of the house at Datchet after the pri soner had been taken into custody, and that he had found another lithographic stone, upon which was the form of a Russian note for 50 roubles, and also an envelope addressed "M. de Mascaras," and that the press and other articles were all directed Mr. B. Anceney, London, in the same handwriting as the envelope. The magistrate discharged Nicholas, and fully committed Anceney for trial. Th 3 Five-Rouble Note Forgery This afternoon Nathaniel Holchester, commission mer chant, 125, Englefield-road West, Islington; Jules Bayer, 11, Russell-street, Camberwell, gentleman; Samuel Berens, general dealer, 14, New-street, Houndsditch ; Abraham Davis, general dealer, same address; Goeschen Silberman, 3, Middle-grove-street, Commercial-road- east ; and Phillip Braun, alias Bloom, 23, Great Portland-street, Marylebone, die-sinker, were again placed before Mr. Elliot, at the Lambeth police-court, charged with having in their pos session 500 forged five-rouble notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia. The prisoners were all apprehended in a room in Rus sell-street, Camberwell New-road, and a carpet bag was found there in which were 500 forged notes for five roubles each on the Imperial Bank of Russia. The principal witness examined was Joseph Liban, who had given the informa tion to the Russian authorities of the wholesale forgery. Mr. Sleigh said he appeared that day on the part of the Russian Government to prosecute the prisoners for being engaged in the fabrication of Russian forged notes, which he believed had been carried on to an enormous extent. He should show that the prisoners were acting in connec tion with a number of persons now in custody, both in London and Paris, for the same offence. The principal evidence he should offer was that of the approver, Joseph Liban, a native of Galicia, who had himself purchased a great quantity of the forged notes. Joseph Liban said—l reside at 1, Brunswick-terrace, Camberwell. Two- or three years ago I became ac quainted with Bayer. I met him in Paris last year, and had a conversation with him about Russian money. Bayer said he knew the source where the forged Russian paper money was manufactured. This year I saw him again ; it was about the month of May, and after thil I came with him to London. He told me that Landinski had brought the plates to Paris, and that Kuzynna and Bayer (the prisoner) were to do the business together, and that for that purpose Kuzynna had had a large sum of money. He further said they told him that they had nearly been discovered by a priest, and that Landinski had taken the plates in consequence of that to London. Bayer and I then came to London in June last, and we stopped at the Terminus Hotel, London Bridge. I first saw Lan dinski the day after my arrival ; after that he brought Berrens to me at the railway station, whom Landinski introduced to me as the maker of the forged paper. I then began to discuss the matter with them, and they asked me to purchase some of the forged paper, and showed me some as samples. They were forged "fivers." I did not purchase any of them. The next one I saw was Braun. Landinski and Berrens brought him to me at Spencer's Hotel. Berrens then said, in Braun's presence, that as he had already made forged notes in Russia and in London, and that he was going to make some 25-rouble notes here. I had a great desire at this time to find out the maker of the notes. I afterwards saw Braun at 75, Cam berwell-road, engrave a Russian eagle on an iron plate. The place, :I discovered afterwards, was Bayer's lodgings. Landinski and Berrens also came in and saw him at work, At this time I had communicated with Inspoetor Thompson. I did so ten days after my arrival in London. From that time I have constantly made communication to the police of the proceedings. I first saw Holchester about four weeks after my arrival in London. I saw Silberman after that, and Davis about two months ago, I first went to Russell-street the first day the house was taken. I think it was the 14th of June. I was present when some of the prisoners had a conversa tion about taking the house. It was Bayer, Berrens, Braun, Landinski, and myself, who were then present. The conversation was to the effect that a house should be taken in a quiet part of the town, in order that the forged notes might be made without interruption. I afterwards saw at different periods the whole of the prisoners visit the house. The general conversation was about making money, that is, forged paper. Several forged rouble notes were fre quently produced. On one occasion HOlchester brought a parcel of 500 forged notes to my place at Brunswick terrace, Bayer was there with me. I cannot exactly s a y the date. Bayer took 200 of the notes, and the other 300 were left in my place in order, as he said, to show his con fidence in me. Holdchester, three or four days before they were taken into custody, showed me 1,000 forged notes. He had them as a parcel in his pocket. Braun was in the house, but he did not see them. I did not open them, but the thinness of the paper showed what they were. Hold chester told me there were 1,000 forged five rouble notes, and he wanted me to give him £lOO for them. I did not, and he took them away. After he had gone I told Barrens, Davis, Braun, and Bayer, that Holdchester would not trust me. They were angry with Holdchester because ho had not done so. The day before the prisoners were taken into custody I was in the house in Russell-street. All were there except Braun. Holdchester then brought a packet of 500 forged notes and gave thorn to Bayer. I did not see any money pass. I heard Holdchester say that he (Bayer) had paid him nearly all he had had, but there was still a little money due to him. Holdchester told Bayer that when he got rich he should consider that he owed him £lB. I was at Russell-street just before the pri soners were taken into custody. All the prisoners were there except Braun. I saw the 500 forged notes (produced) on the table. There was a conversation going on. Bayer and I were to go away and take the notes with us. Mr. Elliott—What for ? Witness—To put them in circulation. Mr. Sleigh—Was it not proposed to take the notes to Baden Baden ? Witness—l cannot recollect. In answer to Mr. Lewis, who appeared for one of the prisoners, the witness said—l have been arrested in Dres den for passing forged notes. That was the only time I was ever in custody in Germany. I was never in custody in ilamburgh. I was only in custody 10 or 12 days, as there was nothing proved against me. I have been en gaged in discovering the manufacture of these forged notes at the instance of the Russian Embassy at Dresden. It was not that Embassy that prosecuted me ; on the con trary, they caused me to be liberated. I have had no money from Inspector Thomson. I have not had the pro mise of any. Mr. Lewis—What, then, did you do it for ? Witness—l have acted throughout for humanity's sa k e, as half Europe has been ruined through these forgeries. The Russian Embassy has since Juno paid me 2,000 francs. 1 have not communicated the fact tothe Russian Embassy. in London, b ecaus e I had no directions to do so. I h ave been in custody in Galicia for a political offence. I have paid my expenses over and above the 2,000 f. out of the 20,000 f. I had of my own. Mr. Lewis wished to know the name of the person who paid him the 2,000 f., but Mr. Sleigh objected to the ques tion. The magistrate said that it might be put, but the witness declined to answer it. Mr. Sleigh said he was informed officially that upwards of two or three millions of forged money passed through Russia yearly, and the present inquiry was therefore of the highest importance. He had to ask that the prisoners be remanded to the latest day allowed by law, as the task of collecting the evidence was very The magistrate acquiesced, and the prisoners were ac cordingly remanded. difficult.

As Cairo's mother refused to consent to his marrying so young, he persuaded his in tended to go with him to Rome and get married there. With this view he obtained from Mgr.Mazenod, Bishop of Marseilles, a dispensation of banns, by which that prelate authorised " any priest at Rome or elsewhere " to celebrate the marriage. The young couple were accordingly married on the 17th August, 1860, at the Church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, at Rome, without any of the civil formali ties required by the French law. They afterwards returned to France, and lived together as man and wife at Paris and Marseilles without apprising their friends of the step they had taken. It appears that wedlock did not offer them the charms they expected, for both of them now applied to have their marriage declared invalid. After hearing coun sel, the tribunal declared that, as the formalities required by the French law had not been fulfilled, the marriage was null and void, and ordered each party to pay a moiety of the costs of the suit.
