ONE/ MARKET AND COMMERCIT;IL INTELLIGENCI3, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England rate of discount is con tinued at 4i per cent., the directors, at their meet ing to-day, not having considered it necessary to make any alteration. Some difference of opinion existed upon the question of a reduction, and this was clearly demonstrated by the crowd of mer chants, clerks, and others, who thronged the cor ridors of the Bank to learn the result of the delibe ration of the authorities. Although in some quarters it was expected that the rate would be lowered to 4 per cent., the announce ment that th e m i n i mum wou ld rema i n unal tered occas i oned but little if any surprise. The increase, it is true, has been considerable both in the gold an d reserve of notes ; but, on t h e ot h er hand , it is known that the metallic reserves must soon be diminished in order to pay for a larger than usual importation of corn, and also for high priced cotton. The present rate is not onerous, and may be considered as moderate, and the commercial com munity find no difficulty in negotiating their paper at I per ce n t. b e l ow the official quotation. The de mand to-day f or accommo d a ti on i s s till very r unit ed, and 3i per cent. has been taken for the best bills. No variation of importance has taken place this T he in th e pr i ces o f St oc k E xc h ange secur ities. a Funds rema i n very s t ea d y a t f ormer va l ue s, 'DiConsols„„ being 89-1- 1 for money and 891 1 for the account.

This morning the ceremony of proroging the Imperial Parliament was performed in the House of Lords, with the customary formalities, but without any of the exciting interest which ordinarily marks the close of a session. The Lord Chancellor and the Royal Commissioners entered the house in their full robes as peers, preceded by the Deputy Sergeant at Arms with the imposing mace, and took their seats immediately in front of the throne. The Lord Chancellor then commanded the Usher of the Black Rod to summon her Majesty's Commons to the bar of their lordship's house to hear her Majesty's com mission for prorogation read. Col. Clifford, the the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod accordingly proceeded to the House of Commons, and, with as much formality as the house was full of members and he was putting a stop to an exciting debate, as everybody knows he sometimes does, summoned the members (none, however, being present), to the House of Peers. On his return to the House of Lords, he informed the Royal Commissioners that her Majesty's faithful Commons were at the bar, and the faithful Commons, being efficientty repre sented by Mr. W. H. Ley, one of the clerks at the table, and Mr. White, the chief doorkeeper, The Hon. Slingsby Bethell advanced to the table and read the Royal Commission commanding the Commissioners present, in the name of her Majesty, to further prorogue Parliament until Tuesday, the 20th of November next. As the significant words " for the despatch of divers urgent and important affairs" were not added, the meeting on that day will again be of a purely formal character. The Royal Commission having been read, the Commissioners rose from their seats, and The LORD CHANCELLOR said that by virtue of the Commission just read, he, in the name of her Majesty the Queen, declared Parliament prorouged until Tuesday, the 20th of November next, accord ingly. His lordship then declared the house ad journed, and with that announcement the ceremony, which last only a few minutes, terminated. During the proceedings there were two or three ladies in the galleries, but there was nothing in the ceremony to attract people to the house, which pre sented a cold and dreary appearance, corresponding with the dulness of the day outside.

In the ordi nary course Sir William Bovill, as Solicitor-General, would have been promoted to the higher office, but Mr: Rolt is greatly his senior in the profession, and had it not been necessary that one of the law officers should belong to the common law bar, would, no doubt, have been ap pointed Solicitor-General, instead of Sir William Bovill, on the formation of Lord Dorby's Administration. It was, we believe, quite understood at the time that in the event of Sir Hugh Cairns vacating the Attorney-Generalship, a s he has now done, Mr. Rolt would be appointed Attorney- General in his place. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this company Lave filled up the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of Mr. S. Smiles, their late secretary, by appointing Mr. T. A. Chubb to that office. Mr. Chubb has been con nected with the South-Eastern, as howl of the Lim:mutant department, for mazy years, 'THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, I8(G. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) George Soakley was charged with feloniously receiving a post letter for £25, and ft bill of exchange for £5l. The prosecution was conducted by the Solicitor-General in behalf of the post-office authorities. The letter, it appeared, had arrived. by the China mail on the 14th of September, and was addressed to Mrs. Biddle, Cranborne Villas, Oakley-square, Chelsea, and was given for delivery to John Sole,, an auxiliary lotto).- carrier at the Brompton Post-office, where he had been so employed for two years. Sole deposel that about eight or nine months ego ho became acquainted with the prisoner, who treated him to drink, and reproiented to him that a great deal of money could b 3. made by detaining letters. After that he met him almost every day and gave him a large nhmber of letters containing stamps and val:,able articles. Oa the 14th of September he gave him the letter addressed to Mrs. Biddle. He had got money at various times from Soakley, in all about £2 10s. Charles Luna; a draper, deposed that Soakley asked him the value of the bill of exchange. Witness said ho would see, and put the document in his pocket, but did not think any more of it. Abuut a week or ten days after he returned it to Soakley, who. partially burned it. Witness picked it up and put it in his pocket, where it was found when he was apprehended. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE LEEDS BANK CASES. Edward Greenland, the late manager of the Leeds Banking company, surrendered to take his trial, upon an indictment for having, upon the Ist of February, 1864, with intent to deceive the shareholders of the company, and of unlawfully making, circulating, and publishing and concurring in making, circulating, and pub lishing a false statement, purporting to be the report of the directors of the said company. Two other counts in the indictment charged wilful and corrupt perjury in cer• tain affidavits before Mr. Sykes Ward, a commissioner in Chancery, atLeeds. The defendant pleaded not guilty to all the indictments. From the opening statement of the counsel for the pro• secution, it appeared that the defendant had been for many years the manager of the Leeds Banking Company, which ceased in September, 1861. Upon investigating the ac counts of the bank, it was found that the defen dant had failed in his duty in furnishing a half-yearly statement of the notes and bills of ex change of the bank then in circulation, and the in dictment charged that the return so made for the first months in 1364 were untruly and falsely made. The evi dence was of great length, and related principally to the accounts of the bank and other matters totally devoid of interest to the general public. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) (Beforo the Recorder.) CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST A POLICE CONSTABLE. William Barry, a police constable of the S division, was indicted for having committed wilful and corrupt perjury at the examination of two young men, named Pierce and Dye, at the liarylebone Police Court, and also reiterating the same before Mr. Sergeant Payne, at the Middlesex Sessions. . . _ Twas laid Hyid a ag el a t„ inst another constable of the same division, ivi chargesion, named and both were also jointly indicted for conspiracy. Mr. Sleigh, who conducted the prosecution, elected to take the separate indictment for forgery against Barry, in preference to the indictment against both for conspiracy, because by adopting that course Barry 'would have the advantage of calling Hayes as a witness on his behalf, if he felts° disposed. The perjury assigned was that the defendant deposed before the magistrate at M.arylebono Police-court, that he and Hayes took the two young men into custody close to 63, Gloucester-cres cent, Regent's-park, on a charge of attempting to commit a burglary. The constables swore that on the morning of the 31st of August the two young men were seen to leap over the garden wall of the house. The young men ; on their part said that the statement of the constables was altogether false, and that instead of taking them into cus tody at Gloucester-terrace, Regent's -park, they (Pierce and Dyce) were looking at a person in a fit in Eversholt-street, Olkley-square, and that the constables came up to them there and took them into custody, and conveyed them to the police-station in Little Albany street, and falsely charged them with attempting to com mit a burglary.. They were both committed for trial at the Middlesex Sessions ; but the jury returned a verdict of " Not guilty," and the present indictment was the result of that acquittal. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WANT OF PUNCTUALITY IN THE " LORD CHIEF BARON." —Mr. James Weale, of No. 2, Malvern-villas, Kilburn park, was charged beforo Mr. Knox with damaging a statue of one of the Muses, the property of Mr. Henry George Brooks, the " Lord Chief Baron" of the Judge and Jury Society, No. '2l, Leic e st e r-sqvare. When the case w as ca ll e d on the "Lord Chief Baron'' was not in attendance, not having left Chambers, and the defendant was discharged. A few minutes afterwards the " Lord Chief Baron'' attended, only to find that the defendant had been dis charged. From his lordship's * statement to the magistrate, and what could be ascertained, it appears that last night while his lordship was charging the jury he was interrupted by a noise in the hall, and on following the "usher" outside the court, to his di scovery h e f oun d that one of the Muses had been very b a dly " assau l te d a nd battered," and had been literally conv er t e d i n t o a ,4 l ay " figure. Ile also found that the gas-piping had been broken down, and the safety of the establishment placed in jeopardy, and the defendant having been pointed out as the person who had bommitted the damage, he was given into custody. Mr. Knox told Mr. Brooks that there being no com plainant in attendance, he had discharged the accused. Mr. Brooks said that but for the fact that he was labour ingunder indisposition, he would have been in attendance. Mr. Knox said that Mr. Brooks could have a summons for the destruction of his property, and one was obtained. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT AND FORGERY.—James M‘Clellan, aged 29, and lately dwelling at No. 3, Bedford-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Paget, c harged with feloniously embezzling three sums of £ll 25., £2 145., and £3 158., which he had received for and on account of his master, Mr. Lewis Cohen, boot and shoe manufacturer, of No. 1, Nelson-street, New-road, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was traveller to Mr. Cohen, and it was his business to obtain orders and to receive monies of his master's , customers. The prosecutor had lately discovered that M‘Clellan was a defaulter to the amount of about £5O, and that he bad not ac counted for the receipt of various sums paid by Mr. Cohen's customers. Ho also had a charge of forgery to make. The prisoner received a cheque for £lO from a tradesman, and forged the name of Lewis Cohen, and ob tained cash for it. Mr. Young then produced the cheque, and the prosecutor said the indorsement "Lewis Cohen," was a forgery. Thee() customers proved the payment to the prisoner of the sums above mentioned in August and September, and Mr. Cohen said they had not been accounted for. The banker's clerk who paid the cash for the cheque was not present ; and it turned out that the prosecutor could not read, and that his wife made the entries in his books. Mr. Paget again remanded the prisoner for the attend ance of Mrs. Cohen and the banker's clerk. WESTMINSTER. SHAMEFUL ATTACK ON WOMEN.—Joseph Crow and William Crow, his brother, both young men, were charged before the magistrate, the first named with most shameful assaults upon women, and the latter with trying to rescue him after his apprehension by the police. A very creditable -looking elderly woman named llibbert said that she had been to her brother-in-law's in Charles street, Grosvenor-square, and was with her husband re turning along the Horseferi7 - road at a little after 11 last night, when she was suddenly knocked down by the de fendant, Joseph Crow, with a violent blow in the eye, which blackened it as it now appeared. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of the defendants ? Complainant—Nothing at all. I never spoke to either of thorn, and gave no provocation whatever. Ho struck another woman, I was told, before ho struck me. A policeman said that was true. Ho had struck another woman, who had attended at the police station, but was not hero now. Witness was at Horseferry-road, West minster, and saw complainant and defendant advancing in different directions, when defendant knocked complainant down without the slightest provocation. Witness took him into custody, ,when Williams two or three times tried to rescue him. William Barrow, 285 B, confirmed the account of both assaults committed by Joseph. In defence, it was urged that Joseph had got drunk at the Regent Music Hall, in Westminster, and did not know what he was about; that he was a sailor, and should have gono aboard ship this morning ; and that William had not tried to rescue him. A witness was called to the latter statement. _ _ Mr. Arnold—lt is abominable that a respectable woman while walking along quietly is to bo attacked and knocked down in this way. Defendant Joseph—l shall lose my ship unless I can join it immediately. Mr. Arnold—l am sorry for that—l cannot help it. I am bound to protect tho public. Joseph was committed for a mouth and William fined 20s. or seven days. IRE LAND. DUBLlN,Wednesday Morning. A Wexford correspondent states in the Freeman that Mr. Kavanagh, of Borris, intends to retire in favour of Mr. Pope Hennessy—that, in fact, he never had any idea of contesting the county. His candida ture, according to an arrangement with the Carlton Club, is only for the purpose of keeping the field open for Mr. Hennessy, and, when the proper moment arrives, he will quit it in his favour. The Evening Mail, however, denies that Mr. Kavanagh is not serious in his candidature: " he has never wavered in his determination to go to a poll." The same journal declares that Mr. Waldron will moat undoubtedly petition against the return of Mr. White for Tipperary. "Mr. Waldron," it says, " might have been at this moment the representative of the county Tipperary', in which he is ; one of the most considerable Catholic pro prietors, had it not been fur the mob violence purchased by the money of a stranger and directed by clerical fanaticism." The Mail furnishes a few instances of violence and intimi dation. At Tipperary Mr. French, R.M., received several blows from stones; as also the R.:v. Mr. Smyth. Mr. Low, J.P., a gentleman of large property and hitherto very po pular, was wounded iu the forehead. Sub-inspector Wood and several of the constabulary and cavalry were also wounded. At Mallinahone "the resident magistrate, Mr.' Harman, and the voters escorted by him and the Consta bulary were violently assailed by the mob; the ca ts o n which were the electors were driven away by the mob, and the magistrate and several others struck and wounded." At Cahir the police were severely maltreated, and the pri soners they had previously arrested were rescued from them. At Thurles "a continuous scene of rioting and stone-throwing was kept up. 'The lives of those who were to vote for Waldron were in the greatest peril. E ven from the tally-room to the court-house, Mr. Waldron's voters underwent a continuous fire of stones ; their lives wore saved only by a strong escort of military. Mr. Lenigan, a Roman Catholic, deputy-lieutenant of the county, a man of very large property, and highly popular, was maltreated and severely struck. Mr. Browne, the resident magistrate, was also cut by a blow from a stone." At Cashel a supporter of Captain White boasted that " no man recorded a vote for Waldron without receiving a mark." All this violence, adds this journal, was directly referable to sacerdotal agency, and " when the electors did reached the booths, after running the gauntlet through the hired mobs, priests stationed there for the purpose in spected and 'controlled their votes by the direct use of religious terrorism." The Mail, in conclusion, recom mends the supporters of Mr. Bright to study the terms of the decision of the select committee in the Mayo election of 1857. The petition in that case, it states, was founded upon circumstances similar to those which have just occurred in Tipperary, and the resolutions of the com mittee were in these words: —" Ist. That the last election for the county of Mayo, so far as regards the return of G. H. Moore, is a void election. 2d. That undue influence and spiritual intimidation prevailed to a considerable ex tent tit the last election for the county of Mayo." The following is the letter addressed by Captain White to his now constituents, and which was read at the decla ration of the poll on Saturday last : "I thank you from my heart for the inestimable honour you have conferred on me. In my most ambitious dreams I dare not have aspired to the position to which your confi ' dance, self-denial, devotion, and energy have raised me as representative of the first county in Ireland; and I address myself to you all without exception, because I firmly be lieve that the Catholic electors who voted against me would, if left to themselves, have recorded their votes in my favour. I might say much of the means resorted to dur ing the contest to snatch victory from us, but on such a topic in the hour of triumph I shall be silent. The value and significance of theivictory cannot be too highly appre ciated. It attests the undiminished spirit and determi nation of Tipperary. It will give the tone to political opi nion in Ireland at the cominggeaeral election. It will teach Lord Derby that by the path of oven-handed justice can ,the heart of the Irish people be reached, and that they cannot be bribed, betrayed, or coerced. Long before I re ceived your invitation my opponent had taken the field, and completed his canvass. When I came amongst you I found the local professional men, with to me a few in valuable exceptions, retained against me, and I learned that all the cars in the county and adjoining towns had been bought up—a system in keeping with the - short-sighted policy which preferred the question of patronage of Lord Derby to the unbought services of the priests and people 'of Tipperary. Ia my address to the county I avowed my political opinions. How warmly you appreciated them, how deeply they touched you, is shown by the promptitude and enthusiasm under which you rallied to my side. I reiterate these opinions, and I add this further pledge, that no effort shall be :spared by me to promote in every way iu my power those measures calculated to serve my countrymen. Fore most among these is the amendment of the land laws, to which, in my opinion, aro clearly traceable agrarian out- rage, depopul. Lion, disaffection, and whatever else retards the development "of our national resources. To effect -a thorough improvement in that system my most strenuous aid shall be given, It would be waste of words again to speak of the injustice of the Church Establishment or of the right of Catholics to educate their children as their conscience dictates, and to a fair measure of State as sistance for that purpose. At the close of a contest, when the conduct of every class of my supporters was beyond all praise, I feel bound to offer to the hierarchy and clergy of Tipperary my especial thanks for the unani mity with which they adopted my selection in the county, and the unexampled energy with which they worked to secure my success. I beg also to thank the many friendly landlords, the patriotic tenant farmers who rallied to my side with true liberality and courage as well as several landlords, who did not coerce their tenantry, but left them to vote as their conscience and wishes dictated. I should be ungrateful if I forgot to thank the non-electors whose voices helped to swt;ll the chorus of popular applause in my favour— whose enthusiastic and peaceable con duct has given increased dignity to our success. 1 deeply regret that I am unable to present myself at the hustings, and I can only repeat what I said in Clonmel, that as Tipperary has proved itself true to me, I will be true to Tipperary. I beg of you to accept the assurance of the profound and lasting gratitude of your grateful friend and representative, " CHARLES WRITE. " Nenagh, Oct. 21." A notorious character named Warnock, who, although only 28 years of age, has spent 12 years in prison, was brought yesterday before the chairman at the quarter ses sions for Belfast, charged with beating the police. He threw down and kicked about the head two of the force, and had to be handcuffed and carried to the police-station. Previous to the arrest ho had been fighting in the streets. Ile acknowledged, when addressing the chairman, that ho was notorious, but he had suffered severely for his crimes; and what was he to do ? When ho got out of gaol every policeman ran round the town in search of Warnock. He was hunted like a dog ; and what was to become of him he did not know. He assured the court that ho would have walked quietly if he had been permitted; but his' throat was squeezed, and he was struck and knocked down before he attacked the constables. The t►uth of this state ment was, of course, denied by the police, when his wor ship, addressing tho prisoner, said his career of crime was one of the worst that he had ever known. To be so young, and to have been convicted 25 times was awful. He remembered sentencing him to penal servitude, and how he got back on the world to renew his career of crime before the period of his sentence expired it was not for hint to say. That the long period of imprisonment he was about to pass would have some good effect upon him was his . earnest wish. His worship concluded by sentencing the prisoner to 18 months in gaol. The prisoner (shaking his fist at one of the constables . in the case) —I wish to God — His Worship—Bring that man back. The prisoner was again placed in the dock. His Worship—Two years' imprisonment. Prisoner—What for, sir ? what for ? His Worship - Take him away. Prisoner—Well, if that is law it is not justice. The prisoner was again taken off, when his worship, in a minute or so, desired him to be brought again. His Worship—Warnock, bad as you are, 1 don't think that any sentence should, under our law, have the appear ance of vindictiveness. You were sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, and you then behaved yourself in such a way as to show disrespect to the court, and I altered your punishment to two years. I won't do that. I will let it stand at 18 months, because I think that possibly longer in the gaol of this county would be destructive to your health ; and at the end of 18 months you are to give bail for your future good behaviour. Prisoner—For how long ? His Worship—For life. Prisoner—To stay in for life ? His Worship—You are to give bail for your future good behaviour. Prisoner—And to get out then ? Mr. Rea—Yes, at the end of 18 months. You will have to give only your own bail. The prisoner was then removed. A IN G FIRES. —This (Thursday) morning Captain Shaw, the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, reported that a fire broke out at 2.30 a.m., on the promises belonging to Mr. J. Tem p le, a grocer and tea dealer, carrying on business in High-street, Mortlake. The discovery was made by ono of the neighbours, who aroused the inmates, but though breaking open the to r they had the greatest difficulty in effecting their escape. Tho local and town engines promptly attended, but the flames could not be conquered until the whole of the valuable stock in trade was nearly -destroyed, and the building seriously damaged. The origin of the fire is at present unknown. The sufferer was insured in the Sun fire office. A fire also broke out lasl night in the premises belonging to Air. Lyles, a tobacconist, 37, High Holborn. It commenced in one of the sleeping-rooms on thir3 floor. Several land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., promptly attended, but tho flames could not be extinguished until a vast amount of damage was done by fire and water, it is unknown whether the sufferer was insured or not.

On Tuesday and Wednesday a large number of horses were out, but, as usual, the Ca.nbridgeshiro candidates did little or nothing on the morning of that race, or on the day after. Those of our readers who have all along studied our training intelligence must have noted the constant favourable reports we have all along given of the pro spects of last Tuesday's clever victrix ; and in our description of Monday's gallops at head-quarters, we observed—" Drewett set Ostregor to take Actm a clipping mile and a half, and the mare continues to move so freely that there cannot be a question about her ability to SECURE A PLACE in the last big handicap of the legitimate campaign." She won with all slbs. in hand, but several nags were beaten long before the starter's flag finally dropped, Chepstow and Moldavia being particularly fractious. The former was literally mad, and broke his bridle in the run home. To-day the weather was so bad that very little work was attempted, except by those animals who have engagements for the rest of the week, whilst several that have competed in the early part of the meeting are fast returning home. Kla rinska went about three miles steadily ; and Breeze galloped a couple quietly. Rustic and Mr. Pitt did a mile and a half ; the former is sold to go abroad. The Duke cf York (whose owner is chagrined that he did not take his chance in the Cambridgeshire) went a mile and a quarter very fast, look ing and going brilliantly. Bradamante, &c., the Sta r, Paris, Affidavit, Pantaloon, Ulphus, Panacea, Knight of St. Michael. Tomahawk, the Czar, Bodo:flout°, Thalassius, Caustic, Landlord, Queen of the Isles, Dunsany, La Dau phine, Retrousse, Benvoglio, and Etoile Filante were gal loping from a mile to a mile and a quarter; but Anti Macasser, Ischia, Slender, Douro, Pluto, Proserpine, Lively, and Sealskin were doing a mile and a half. Strathconan galloped quite two miles, but Rowly and Pep per's Ghost, Troublesome, Kingmaker, The Squire, Wild Agnes, Life Guardsman, Kingsley, Miss Williams, Signet, Kangaroo, Ostregor, Breadalbane, Olivia, and Hobo were in nice steady work. The Peer galloped a mile and three quarters. The following two-year olds each had a gallop of about a mile, and they severally go well :—Pericles, The Flying Scud (late the Hatter), Ines, Marksman, The Palmer, Julius, Lady Rosehill, Lochaber, Lady Lambtou, Atalante, Problem, Janua, Python, Sister to Vedette, Greenback, Cheltenham, Haidee, Water Cure, Leases, Sky lark, 0.

The hermit, Dragon, Trocadero, D'Estenrnel, The lig , ke, Priponnier were absent. Gladiateur, hOwever, was out, and galloped a mile and a half as freely as ever. Brownie law and Out-and-Outer wore taking it quietly. We did not see Chepstow, Regalia, or Caithness; and there is a rumour here that tfiey are going back to Knight's, even if they aro not already gone. (Our reports from other quarters will be resumed to-mor row, and will more particularly allude to the horses en gaged at the Lincoln and Worcester meetings of the ensuing week.)

The deceased was born at Stilton in the year 18t6, and when death occurred ho was in his 50th y99.r. Mr. Mason was unequalled in his day as a rider in steeplechases, and some of his greatest victories were achieved with Lottery, The Nun, Vivian, and St. Leger. He was a great favourite with the leading men on the turf, to many of whom he had been the means of their landing very largo sums of money.
