The Money Market is very quiet, and there is no alteration in the rates. The return from the Bank of England, completed to the 21st inst., as was generally anticipated, is of a very favourable character. The stock of bullion s hows an increase of £608,307, while there has been an addition to the reserve of notes of £992,000. The other securities only show an addition of £123,548, but there is an augmentation in the pri vate balances of £748,222. Annexed are the parti culars :...

This is to be attributed to exce ptional causes, which may bereadily understood , those who are conversant with the present state of monetary affairs. The Bank, in conjunctio n With other powerful parties, became contractors in t his l as t f ora l oan to t h e Vi ceroy o f E gypt, an d 'his business provided great advantages ; but owing to unavoidable delays, the war in Europe and the extraordinary financial crisis, the total issue of the s crip became impossible. The directors were there fere compelled to make a very serious sacrifice of lectuities to maintain their position, and this has resulted in a considerable loss. Nevertheless, it Will be satisfactory to know that the directors in Alexandria obtained from the Viceroy tt si gnal favour, who took for his personal account lie ftriY half the loan at the contract price. rer,ess More his High ness com p ensa t e d th e b an k f or p ar t o f it s bya grant of £50,000, and placed business in the ha nds,, of th e di rec t ors pro b a bly su ffi c i en t t o cover t he deficiency.

SHARE MAREETS.—Ths Day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Ths Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PITIABLE STORY.-Arthur Leeson, 9, and Benjamin Charles Tempest, 11, were charged before Mr. Knox with begging. Sergeant Bunce, 5 q, said—Yesterday even* I saw the two boys in Piccadilly follow several persons, each of them having two or three boxes of fusees in his hand. They then went and stood in different places begging and presenting a pitiable appearance, and I took them to the station. I afterwards went to No. G, Little May's-build ings, St. Martin's-lane, and made inquiries, and was told that Leeson lived there with his mother, who occupied a wretched garret, the only articles of furniture in the place being a ricketty old table and a mattress on the floor in the corner, upon which two children were lying asleep. The poor woman, who had only one arm, I found to be so much afflicted, and in such a bad state of health, that 1 did not exect to find her here this morning; she, however, was present. I asked her if she had any other children besides those I saw asleep, and hoW she got her living. She said that she had two boys who were out selling fusees, and the only means she had of living was by what they brought home and what she could get herself when she was able to do the same thing, which was not very often. She also stated that the children were illegitimate, and that their father had deserted her. 1 then went to the place where Tempest lived, but found his parents were out. He has a father and mother, who, with seven chil dren, occupy one room. I further ascertained that Leeson had only been out of the hospital a few weeks, having in jured himself by falling downstairs. Mr. Knox—lt is such a pitiable case that I hardly know what to do. It would be better for the poor woman to go at once into the poor-house. Mr. Bowman, relieving officer, having come into court, Mr. Knox desired the sergeant to repeat his evidence, and having done so, Mr. Bowman said—Jf the poor woman goes with her family into the workhouse they shall be at once admitted. Sergeant Bunce—There was scarcely any fire in the grate at Leeson's ; and the only covering to the weeping children was an old rug. Mr. Knox—ln this inclement weather it •is perfectly frightful to think of the condition of the poor woman. There cannot be the slightest sham about the case, as the poor woman looks really very. ill. Mr. Bowman (to the poor woman) —Why did you not come to the workhouse before ? The poor woman—l had an objection. I donot like to be separated from my child (she had one child in her arms). Mr. Bowman-You will not be separated from the child. With regard to the other children they will be sent to the school at Hanwell, but you will have an opportunity of seeing them. Mr. Knox—The best thing I can do is to send the poor woman and children at once to the house. Sergeant Bunco will take them there. Subsequently Ttimpest's father, a hard-working man, attended, and having promised that his boy should not beg again he was given up to him. THAMES. A CAB PROPRIETOR OVERCOME BY ears FEELINGS.—John Shrubsole, a cab proprietor, well known in the district, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. The prisoner's son, a cab driver, was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour for cruelty to his horse, on the prosecution of Mr. W. Love, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the pri soner was found by Soper, G 93 A, drunk, and acting in a very singular manner at the station-house door, adjoining the court. He was taken into the station, and being unable to take care of himself was locked up until he was sober, and then allowed to go at large on bail. Mr. Partridge—l perceive by the entry on the police sheet that the prisoner had a gold watch, 19s. Gd. in silver, and a promissory note for £5O. The prisoner denied that he was drunk yesterday after noon ; it was a mistake on the part of the police. Mr. Partridge—Was the prisoner drunk or not, Soper ? Soper—He was very drunk, and incapable of taking care of himself. George Duff, a police-sergeant, No. 655 A, was in the station-house when the prisoner was brought there, and he was decidedly drunk, and could not stand upright. The Prisoner—My sou got into a little trouble the other day here, and my feelings were so overcome on seeing the station-house and the police court that I do not know what I did or said. Mr. Partridge—No doubt you wore drunk. The Prisoner—No, sir, I was only overcome by my foelings. Mr. Partridge—l shall fine you ss. for being drunk. It is a good thing for you the police took you into custody. You would havo lost all your property and money. WESTMINSTER. BEGINNING EARLY.—Mary Fitzgerald, a girl only 14 years of age, was charged with being drunk and d'sorderly. Police-constable David Brooks, 12D B, said that between 6 and 7 o'clock last evening'-he was in York-street, West -minster, when he saw •the defendant in company with two other girls. They were drunk, and insulted nearly every one who passed them without being in any way interfered with. They were followed by a number of boys. Mr. Selfe asked defendant what she had to say ? Defendant—Nothing, but I have not been here before. Mr. Selfo—ls she at all known? The Police Inspector—She is not. A middle-aged woman, stepping forward, said she wished to speak to the magistrate. Mr. Selfe—Are you her mother ? The woman—Yes, I am. Mr. Selfe—Well, what do you think of this ? The woman—My daughter has been living in very re spectable service with a lady in Warwick-street, Pimlico. She left titer° yesterday, and took her wages. Mr. Selfe—And got drunk with them. Tho mother—She is only 14, and met with some one as she had got her wages. Mr. Belle—Out of which she must pay 2s. 6d. MARKETS. -- 'I his dv. MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. The trade for all qualities was very firm, and the full prices of Monday were ob tained. With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup plied. All descriptions were held at the extreme rates of Monday. The amount of business transacted was con siderable. Floating cargoes of wheat were in demand at extreme rates. Fine barley was in request and fully supported late rates. Medium and inferior qualities were steady in price. There was a fair demand for malt at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. Tho trade was firm at the recent advance in prices. Beans and peas ruled firm at full currencies. Flour fully supported Monday's currency, with a mode rate dewand. slur ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Hughes, M.P., on Temperance Legislation- The fourth series of meetings is connection with the National Temperance League was inaugurated last evening by a tea meeting which took place at the Lambeth Baths. After tea the chair was taken by Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., who delivered the fol-' loWing address :—As your member, I am very glad to be present among you this evening. I hold it to be one of the first duties of a member of Parlia ment, representing a great constituency like this, to make a point of being present at such meetings as these, whether he is entirely in agreement with the ideas of those who call them or not. (Hear, hear.) For myself, I tell you at once that lam not altogether in agreement with many of my friends on this platform. In the first place, [ believe lam right in saying that the National Temperance League is in favour entirely of moral persuasion upon the great question of intemperance. I go with them entirely us to moral persuasion. I do not think there can be too much moral persuasion used on this matter; but I confess, &so, that I think we want something more than moral persuasion. (Cheers.) Having to look at the matter in a prac tical point of. view as your representative, I am very anxious to satisfy my own mind as to what measures I shall endeavour to promote in the House of Com mons on the great question of making the British people more temperate when measures relating to the subject are brought before the House of Com mons. (Cheers.) I know.that there is another great organisation which has kindred objects with yours, and that is the Alliance, which, I believe, has its centre in Manchester. The Alliance is in favour of other means of carrying on this great movement than those of moral persuasion. It is in favour of some Parliamentary action in the matter, and it has a pet bill or nostrum of its own which it believes to be the - right measure to introduce to the House of Commons as SOOl3 as possible—of course-I am now . alluding to the Permissive Bill. (Hear, hear.) Now, to speak quite frankly about the Permissive Bill, I should, tell you that there is a principle in the Per missive Bill with which I very much sympathise. (Hear, hear.) •I believe the present licensing system to be very bad. (Hear.) I think we may get a very great improvement in the licensing of public houses and houses in which liquors are allowed to be sold ; but with regard to the Permissive Bill as a whole, I confess I am not prepared to say that I think it would effect the very admirable objects which the supporters of the alliance believe it would effect. I believe that, practically, there would not be the slightest chance of carrying it in this country ; and I am afraid you will find that it Will be with great difficulty that we shall carry any legislation on this subject. In the second place, I think we shall find, with respect to the Permissive Bill, that if it were passed to-morrow it would create a great deal of injustice and a good deal of feeling through out the country which would be anything het satis factory, and which would not have the effect of for warding those objects which we all have in view. I think if the Permissive Bill were passed, and we in this parish were to adopt it, and the surrounding parishes did not do the same, we should find the effect of the bill would neither be to make peace nor to put down intemperance. To come to the practicab ob ject of my being here, I will tell you exactly what I think may very well be done in Parliament almost at once—probably in the next session ; and I ask the support of this meeting and of all who hare the cause of temperance at heart, and who are in favour of this or any other legi. lation which they think can be practically carried. I believe that in temperance is treated much too leniently by the law at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) It is in very many cases, and before very many tribunals in this country, really regarded in the nature of an excuse for brutal and abominable conduct on the part of men if they can :say they were drunk at the time they committed the offences proved against them. I am of opinion that drunkenness ought rather to be taken as an aggravation of a crime, and that the punishment ought to be all the heavier be cause the man was drunk at the time he committed a felony or misdemeanour. (Cheers.) I think the law ought to be strengthened in that way, and that not only ought the man himself to be more heavily punished than he is at present, but the penalties ought to'be extended to those Who allow him to get into that state. (Cheers.) I believe it would be quite Possible to pass, even now, in the Houses of Parliament a measure by which, after two or three offences, or whatever number might be selected by the Legislature, are proved against any particular house, the owner of that house should be fined, and after another offence there should be no option but the license should go. (Hear, hear.) If licenses were taken away from every house against which three or four cases of drunkenness could be proved, you may depend upon it that a body so energetic and so clever as the body of licensed victuallers who own the public-houses would very soon find out a way to keep the people who come to them within limits. (Cheers.) 1 believe we should soon find that drunnkenness would be very much lessened by such a measure as that. (Hear, hear.) I must say that such a measure is most needed. Grand juries, both at Liverpool and Manchester, have made pre sentments on the matter, and have urged this point on the Government through the judges. lam con vinced that a measure of this kind would do a very great deal of good, and I think that it is the first practical measure, so far as Parliament goes, at which we should aim. (Cheers.) Such are my ideas as to what is possible in Parliament at present. I think there is no more important movement in Eng land than this temperance movement. It is a movement with which I very much sympathise, and I think that every man who desires •to see this great town brought into the state into which it is fitting a Christian town should be brought, ought to support this movement as far as he possibly can. lam very glad to be present this evening to inaugurate the first of your fourth series of meetings. We know that we are all of us engaged in a good cause, and this ought to sustain us and make us work very heartily together, and I am cer tain that on the success of this and kindred institu tions will depend in a great measure the future of this country. (Cheers.) . Other gentlemen having addressed 't'ie meeting, the proceedings terminated. SRORTING INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. WARWICK RACES.—This DAr. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. MATCHES. Gttrus beat Douro.

CARCASSONNE RACES. —Nov. 18. Carcassone is situated in the Department d'Audo, in the south of France, being distant by rail from Toulouse about three hours, and about the same. distance from Beziers, from which place several horses which had previouslyrun there waited to try their luck at this the last meeting of the season in France. The race-course was the Champ do Manoeuvre, the ground usually used for the troops to exer cise on, which was all p lou g hed u p a nd arranged by the in good going order. Th e t urns were rather sharp, nd and was the distance round w as no t qu i te one soldiers, a mile. The principal race was the Prix de la Cit 6, which Grando Dame, with the top weight, won cleverly, and thus recompensed her owner for his bad luck at Boziers, where this mare fell, owing to • the dreadful state of thO ground. Mr. Carter has since been offered 1,000 sovs. for Grande Dane, which offer has been re fused. A Military Steeplechase, for horses the property of officers quartered in Carcassonne, concluded the day's sport, and the race committee have every reason to be satisfied with the results of their first meeting, which gave general satisfaction. Full particulars are appended below : Prix de la Cite (handicap) of 120 sovs; open to horses of all countries ; three year olds and upwards ; entrance, 6 sovs each, 1 ft ; winners extra, after the publication of the weights.

LINCOLN.—It iS stated. that J. H. Surratt (one of the persons charged with complicity .in the assassination of the late President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln) has been serving for some time past in the Papal Z o u aves , hi s company quartered at Veroli, ono of the frontier towns Of . the Appeninei, near Frosinone. He had assumed, and was known in his regiment by, the name of John Watson. Information of this fact having been communicated to General Rufus King, the Minister of the United States at Rome, no time was lost by him in transmitting the news to his Government, which straightway instructed the General to take such measures as might lead to the secur ing of Surratt, alias Watson. In compliance with his in structions, Geneilkl King repaired to the Vatican, requested an audience of Cardinal Antonelli, and asked his eminence whether, in the event of his proving the identity of Surratt, the Papal Goverament would hand him over to that of the ' United States. The Cardinal Secretary promised the General all the facilities in his power. A few days after, on returning to the Vatican, General King was made ac quainted by Cardinal Antonelli with the measures he had taken. These were contained in a series of telegraphic in structions sent from Rome, with the corresponding tele graphic replies from the local authorities of Veroli and Vallettri. They recorded the order to arrest Surratt, alias Watson ; the successive steps taken in compliance with the order; the actual arrest ; the conveyance to prison ; the re moval from prison under a guard of five soldiers of his company; but the series closed with the - announcement that when thus led out, Surratt, alias, Watson made a sudden dash from his guards, jumped over a precipice more than 100tt. high, and, though hotly pursued by 50 Zouaves, was enabled, from the fact of their preferring a more circuitous route, to get clear across the frontier into the Italian territory. General King lost no time in communicating the facts to his colleague at Florence, and telegraphic in structions have been forwarded to the towns on the Papal frontier, and to all the seaports of Italy, to recapture Wat son, alias &matt ; but, if I am not exceedingly misin formed, the Italian Government, in declaring its readiness CORK, Thursday Evening. to forward the great ends of international justice, has int! t - A man named Tracy, a shop ass i s t ant, has been mated that, oven in the event of its giving up Surratt, it will stipulate that hislifehe spared.—Florence correspon d en t , a rrested latt e fo r r a c r o e m m p i l l i i c t i a t r y y in a r t m h the importation e o l f d m p u a s t k te e i t n s of the Morning Post. - • THE LATE POACHING AFFRAY.—We regret to ? *= . he schooner Titania h as b een se i zed while enter- learn that George Kelly, Lord Trede g ar's head gamekeeper,_-: ammunition on bo ar d.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester day evening:— The great match between these two celebrated scullers for the honorary title of Champion of the Thames and a sum of money amounting to .£4OO, came off this afternoon over the time-honoured course between Putney and Mort lake. For the last three -weeks Putney, and more especi ally the neighbours round about the famous "Belly has been in constant excitement, and it need hardly be said that that excitemenj arrived at its height shortly before three this afternoon, when Sadler, the main in whose strength of limb and power of endurance some thousands of pounds of the " sparkling dross" depended, was seen seated in his outrigger opposite the celebrated hostelrie. On the river and on the shore all seemed to have surrendered them- . selves for the time being to excitement, and each person, seemed determined to do all in his power, by way of ern_ couragement, to secure the triumph of the popular man at Putney—viz., Sadler. The friends of Chmilbers, however, were not less demonstrative than the partisan s and supporters of his rival. The Tynesidars placed great confidence in the prowess of. their man, and supported hint both by their voices and their money. It had been arranged that, in order to secure a good race, the steamers should be kept well astern of the competitors, but unfor tunately such was' not the case, and long before the start, first one, and then another, of these great ob structors: to rowing matches, kept moving for ward, despite the directions of the umpire, and they nearly brought about a fatal termination to the snatch by the disgraceful manner in which all orders were disra garded. It was not before 12 minutes to three that the start took place, which momentarily was in favour of Chambers, but Sadler, after about a dozen strokes, gained upon his opponent, and gradually secured for himself the lead, which he afterwards increased to two lengths before they arrived at the Crab Tree. Chambers, who was rowing in his usual style, once or twice looked round in order to ascertain the precise posi tion of Sadler, and apparently making up his mind that he had allowed him to get as far in advance as was agreeable, he settled down to his work and rowed with such strength and determination that opposite the Soap Works the nose of his boat .was close on the stern of Sadler's. Sadler, having the advantage of seeing the ex ertions his adversary was making to deprive him of the pride of place, did his utmost to maintain his lead ; but Chambers pulled his long and powerful stroke with such good effect, that in passing beneath Hammersmith-b►idge both were skull and skull together, where Sadler, coming out, caused a foul, which induced Chambers to kayo off rowing, and claimed to be the winner of the matcli. Sadler continued rowing, and got on a little a-head, when Cham bers again set to work and rowed up to him. Sadler again came out, boring Chambers into the middle of the stream, where he was nearly swamped by the swell made by the steamer; the captain of which behaved in the most repre hensible and disgraceful manner. Here the race was veritably at an end, because Chambers, considering him self the winner, gave up the contest. However both continued to row the distance, and without any effort on the part of Chambers to prevent him, Sadler rowed in first by about three lengths. On being appealed to, Mr. Ireland, the referee, gave the race to Chambers, a decision 'Which seemed to giv e general satisfaction. It is to be regretted that a foul should have to a certain extent spoiled the match„but had it not been so, it seemedquite certain before the contest was near conclusion that Chambers would prove the victor. The betting at starting was 2 to 1 on Sadler, and from the fact that he had been most perseveringly supported by a large and influential body of gentlemen, a goodly sum of money must have changed hands. — .4A CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant. William Henry Taylor, a respectably-dressed man, was indicted with stealing a quantity of kid gloves, the pro perty of John Derby Allcroft ; and Simeon Duck-, French polisher, was also indicted for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The detective officer, Bull, said that he went to the shop of Taylor, Little St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, on the 3rd Oct., and from certain information he had received he asked the prisoner whether he had either given or sold some gloves to a person named Taylor. Taylor said that he had, and in answer to other questions he said that he had purchased them of a man whom he bad met at a public-house in Long Acre, that he had given £lO for them, and produced a receipt signed by a person named Turnbull for that amount. He (the officer) put further questions to him whop ho said ho had th em f rom a man named Duck, whom he had known for years. Duok afterwards was sent for,. and on his being questioned he said he had sold the gloves to Taylor, and that ho had them from a man whom he occasionally met at the Sun public-house in Gate-street, Lincoln-inn-fields, who asked him to sell them for .£lO. lie said the man told him ho was enabled to sell them cheap as he had got a quantity of goods which ho never intended to pay He asked him to give a description of the man of whom he had bought them, but the police had not been able to meet with any such person. . The defence set up that the gloves were not a portion of those stolen from Messrs. Dont, Alcroft, and Co., and that the defendants came into possession of them in an open and honest manner. The case was not concluded when we went to press. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—Ths Day. (EY TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Friday Morning.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Outward Sores.—Daily experience confirms the fact which has triumphed over opposition for 30 years, that no means are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing bad legs, sores, wounds, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burns, scalds, aud, in truth, all cases where the skin is broken. To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance, or the compulsory confinement in door s weakens the general health. The ready Means of curd are found in Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which heal the sores and expel their cause. In the very worst cases this ointment has succeeded in effecting a perfect cure, after every other moans had failed of giving any relief. Desperate cases best display its virtues.
