MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is still very active, and the rate remains at 41 per cent. for the best bills of short date. The termination of the quarter is bringing forward a large number of commercial bills, and the demand for accommodation will no doubt continue strong for a short time. The sum of £45,000 was forwarded to the Bank yesterday. The weekly return from the Bank of England is not satisfactory, and shows the necessity of the in crease in the value-of money.

An adjourned general meeting of this company was held at the London-bridge Station, for the purpose of confirm ing an agreement for the purchase of the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway. Mr. Schuster, the chairman, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that this meeting was adjourned from the 9th of July last, and as tho lawyers had not been able to complete the docu ments which they were called on to confirm, it would be necessary to adjourn again until the 7th November next. The matter was not a very important one, but the confir mation of it by the shareholders was requisite. He adverted next to a statement made by the chairman of the South-Eastern at the last half-yearly meeting, reflecting on the conduct of himself and his colleagues. He was not in the habit of having papers read at their meetings respect ing attacks made by other companies, but he thought it right on the present occasion to submit to the meeting a paper which had been printed in reference to their proceedings. It was necessary they should be very exact in regard to these matters, and with respect to what occurred in Par liament, to enable them to come to a correct decision. (Hear hear.) The document, which was very lengthy, was then read and contained a denial of the charges made by the chair man of the South-Eastern against their company. The CHAIRMAN said he had nothing to add to the state ment contained in the paper, and, therefore, he should not offer any further observations. Mr. COLES CHILD said he was glad that the chairman had so fully vindicated himself and his colleagues from the charges which had been made against them. He was a large shareholder in the South-Eastern, and of course much interested in what related to it, but he considered it was in the worst taste possible for Mr. Byng to throw out imputations on that company. There was an old and a true saying, namely, that persons who live in glass houses should not throw stones. The South Eastern accused the London and Brig►hton of endeavouring to infringe their rights ; but what was the fact ? The South Eastern had been endeavouring to encroach on the territory of the London and Brighton ; and, in resisting that encroach ment, the latter had been invariably successful. The speaker then went into some details confirmatory of his statement. On the motion of Mr. HERAPATIL, seconded by Mr. ADAMS, thanks were voted to the chairman and to the board of directors for their satisfactory conduct. The meeting then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) GRIFFITHS V. JACKSON. This was an action in which the plaintiff, a Sheriffs' officer's man sought to recover 30s. for watching a prisoner for debt in defendant's sponging-house. Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Buchanan re presenting the defendant, who is one of the sergeants-at arms to the Sheriffs of London. Plaintiff stated that defendant arrested a debtor, who preferred stopping at his lock-up to going to Whitecross Prison, and plaintiff was employed to watch him. Plain tiff watched five nights and one Sunday, tho charge being ss. per night and ss. per Sunday. Mr. Buchanan asked plaintiff to do the job for a certain sum. Plaintiff:replied that he bad not,:adding that he ought to be paid extra for the work. If he went into possession he could get some sleep, but, of course, when he had to watch a debtor all night he must keep his eyes open. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan called defendant, who declared that it was a rule with sheriff's officers only to pay one guinea for a job of this kind. Mr. Webster said he had other evidence to show the custom, and witnesses deposed that it was tho invariable rule for sheriff's sfficers to pay ss. per night for watching a debtor. His Honour did not see how he could resist plaintiff's case, but defendant applied for an adjournment, saying that he would subpoena all the sheriffs' officers in the City of London and the metropolis to prove his view of the custom. His Honour granted the adjournment. The Frightful Attempted Murder and Siiieide in Westminster. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER POLICE COURT.—It will be fresh in the recollection of our readers that on Tuesday, August 29, great excitement was caused in Westminster by the report that a labourer named O'Shaugnessy had, at 12 o'clock in the day, iu Regent-street, Westminster, cut his wife's throat and then made a desperate attempt on his own life. This account was soon confirmed. The parties, who are of the sister country, had been walking the streets and quarrelling all the morning, the man being appa rently under the influence of liquor, and at 12 o'clock, while proceeding" through Regent-street, a crowded thoroughfare at that time of the day, he suddenly drew a razor from his pocket, cut his wife's throat severely, and inflicted a wound on his own throat of such a nature that both were conveyed with all possible alacrity to the West minster Hospital in a very precarious condition, no hopes being entertained of the man's recovery for some days. The woman, who was not so severely injured, showed favourable symptoms soon after her admission to the hos pital, and, although the man became worse, after ten days he recovered, and was pronounced sufficiently convalescent to be brought up for examination to-day. On being placed in the dock, William O'Shaugnessy, the prisoner, whose neck was bandaged up, was very weak, but much stronger than his wife, whose throat was also bandaged up, and who could hardly speak, was then charged before Mr. Selfe with felo niously attempting to murder his wife, and also withlelo niously attempting to commit suicide. Mary O'Shaugnessy—l live at 7, Lillington-street, Pim lico. lam staying at Westminster Hospital. Sergeant Mason—They were living apart, and he was living at' 7, Bridge-row. Witness—l was living at 142, Lillington-street, Pim lico. He lived at Bridge-row. I have lived apart from him six years, and maintained myself. I had occasion to summon him here the fortnight after I left him: that was for threatening me, and he was bound to keep the peace. Rnowland, 141 K— He was not locked up. Witness—l saw him on the 29th August, a little after eight o'clock. He came to the room where I live. There was no one else there besides me. He wanted to come and live with me again, and I said he shouldn't. He insisted upon stopping, and then I left the room, and would not stop with him there. The people where I lived said he ought to be ashamed of himself. I left the room, and he came after me. Befere I went I threw some water in a pail over him. He stayed in the room about 10 minutes. I went down stairs the first time. He came twice. When he came back the second time I threw the water at him. I can't say what time he came back about nine o'clock. When he came back he brought some boys to take the things out of my room. I left the house altogether then, and I did not know what to do, because he followed me everywhere I went. I came down hero and asked for a summons, and he followed me into the court. I remember his speaking while I asked for the summons, and he was put out of court for making a disturbance at 10.30 by 263 A. I didn't get the summons, and went to the corner of the square (Vin cent-square) towards Regent-street, and he followed me. I slapped him in the face, I was so annoyed. He said he would pay her for that presently. He still followed me and put his two hands into his coat pockets. I have got• nothing more to say. Mr. Selfe—Go on, please. Witness—l did not see anything. He passed his hand across my throat. I did not 6'30 what ha had in his hand. He said something when he did it, but. I don't remember. When he had done it he shifted off his jacket, and said "I will do for myself now." I put my hands to my throat, and felt Tia blood. A woman put my clothes up above my neck and said she would stop the blood, and a man said he would strap up the wOund, and they took me to the hospital. Mr. Selfe—Did he appear to you sober ? Witness--He was quite sober that morning. Mr. Selfe—Do you wish to ask your wife a question ? Prisoner—No, your worship. _ _ _ Jemima Fulford, married, wife of George Fulford, 141, Regent-street, Westminster—l remember the morning of the 29th August. I was standing at my own door. Shortly before 12 I saw two people standing close by the railway talking, the last witness and prisoner. I went to go f or an errand. I heard the woman say, "You nasty looking wretch !" and I looked round and passed on ; and as I was coming back three minutes afterwards, about three or four yards off, I saw him take her as if he would give her a good shaking. I saw his hand at her throat and the blood spurting out ; and he immediately took hold of his own throat and said, " See, here's another!" and he had a mor in his hand. Ho walked along by the railings and cut his own throat, and sat on a door step. A little boy picked up the razor and offered it to me. Mr. Charles Antonini—l was house-surgeon at West minster Hospital when she was brought in. She had a very large wound, extending almost from ear to ear—only one wound. The windpipe was not severed or injured at all. She was very weak from loss of blood, and in a dan gerous state. It was not in the direction of the jugular vein, but, as it were, from jaw to jaw. I also saw the pri soner. He was brought in at the same time. His was the same kind of wound, but even more severe, deeper and longer in the same position. Both were in considerable danger, and the wounds, if not attended to, would have been fatal to life. He left this morning. I don't know whether he is going back. Arthur Mason, 15 B—l was on duty at the station about 12 o'clock. I heard of the occurrence and went to the spot, and found prisoner lying down ; his neck had then been tied up. I assisted to take him to the Westminster Hospital. [The razor was produced covered with blood.l Mr. Antonini—The wounds I saw might be produced by such an instrument as that. Mason—This morning I took him into custody. He said he knew the charge against him. The depositions were ordered to be immediately pre pared for the prisoner's committal for trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, BOW-STREET. SUSPICIOUS PERsosAGEs.--Joseph Hodgin and William Marshott were charged with being found in the Charing cross Hotel, and with assaulting Tobey, a detective officer. Mr. Abrams appeared for the defence. Frances Bishop, a chambermaid at the hotel, said that about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon she Was removing some goods from room 89, on the second floor, to room 87, when she saw Hodgin in room 88 standing by the door, and Marshott at 89. Sho told them the rooms were not theirs, and the only reply made by one to the other was, " Come along." The porters were in one of the rooms adjoining, and she called them to see the men down stairs. The prisoners heard her give the direction to the parties. Mr. Abrams asked the witness if she went into the rooms after they left, and if she had missed anything. • 'Witness replied that ;she did, but that nothing was taken away. That circumstance did not allay her suspi cions, as she could not tell what property gentlemen who occupied the rooms might have left lying about. Thomas Allen, a porter, said he had occasion to go into one of the rooms, No. 87, and found it bolted inside. At the same time the last witness opened the door of 88, and the prisoners came out. [There is a door between the two rooms.] He asked them what they wanted, and they mad• no reply. From the appearance of the two men, he felt satisfied they had no businesS, and ho immediately called the detective officer attached to the hotel, and when they saw witness speaking to the officer, they made their way quietly to the pla+form. Constable Tobey said ho was called by_the last witness, and his attention was directed to the two prisoners, who were coming down the grand staircase, and immediately they saw he was watching them they made a dish at the side door, and attempted to make their escape. He pursued them, and ,succeeded in securing Hodgin, whom he took back to the hotel, where Marshott had been detained. Wit ness asked them if they had been in the hotel, and Marshott said, " Oh, yes, I and my friend have been in the coffee-room." On the way to the station Hodgin said to witness, " You've got me tight, but what can you do ? The most you can do is to give a drag [a slang term for three months' imprisonment]." He then put his right hand into his coat pocket and took out a jemmy (a small crowbar), and said, "I'll monk your eye out." Witness struggled with the prisoner and got the jemmy from him, but not before he struck him violently on the knee. At the station-house- witness searched the prisoners, and on Hodgin he found some Austrian coins, a silk handkerchief, a knife, and 7s. 6d. in money. On Manshott he found a silk guard and an imitation gold chain, which was attached to a pocket comb in his waistcoat pocket, it hav ing the appearance Of being the appendage of a watch. Marshott gave his address at Liverpool, and Hodgin said he hadn't any. Mr. Abrams—Was anything missed from the room? Witness—l cannot say. Inspector West said he had to apply for a remand, but Mr. Abrams objected to the detention of the prisoners, as there was no evidence against them. Mr. Vaugham differed from Mr. Abrams. The posses sion of the jemmy by Hodgin, and his energetic attempt to escape, were sources of great suspicion, and quite suf ficient of themselves to warrant their detention. The prisoners were then remanded for a week, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS BY MEANS OF A FORGED ORDER.— John Watson, of No. 3, John's-place, Farm-street Mews, blacksmith, was charged before Mr. Knox pith obtaining some hair brushes, razors, &c., from Mr. Thos. Douglas, hairdresser, No. 44, South Audley-street, by means of a forged order. Mrs. Ann Douglas, wife of the prosecutor, said that be tween 9 and 10 o'clock on the morning of the 13th Sept. the prisoner, who was'known to her, came into the shop and asked for some sponges, stating that it was for a gen tleman. She gave the prisoner a sponge of the value of 10s., and he left, but returned in a few hours, and said the sponge suited very well. He also stated that she had been very kind to his friends, and he wished to give them a turn, -and that he had got a situation with a gentleman, at the same time handing her an order for goods purporting to be signed by Colonel J. p. Guisett, of the Albany. In payment for the goods the prisoner handed her• a cheque for £3 4s. on the bank of Messrs. Glynn, Mills, and Co., and bearing the signature J. Guisett. The goods amounted to £1155., and she handed the prisoner the balance of the cheque. On the 15th Sept. the prisoner called again and had more goods; and on calling a third time for more goods suspicion was aroused. The goods were not de livered, and on the cheque being presented at the bankers, it was returned marked "No account." The police were then communicated with, and the cheque handed to a constable (Dawson, 301 A). Police-ctinstable Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that about nine o'clock last night he went to No. 3, John's-place, Farm-street-mews, and on asking the prisoner if he was John Watson, he said, "No, he is upstairs—l'll call him," at the same time getting up to do so. He told the prisoner that he need not trouble himself to do so as he was the man he wanted. He then told the prisoner that he should take him into custody-en-the-eharge of obtaining goods by means of a forged order, when he made no reply. He afterwards presented the cheque at the bank, •and it was marked "No account." The prisoner, who had no questions to ask, was remanded. THAMES. mana lG oe : r D ,han, cAaretTCbTeifOoNre Mr. A Partridge,Gilm.—ll GlRL.—Henry said that a a b a o ir ALL o l t , was detained by a woman named Newman, of 5, Rodney-terrace, Bow-road, and he believed there was some foul play in the matter. He could not explain, in answer to the questions of the magistrate, in what the foul play consisted. The girl was taken as a companion by his wife's sister, who would give'no account of her, or say where she was to be found. Mr. Partridge said, if there was any suspicion of foul play, information should be at once given to the police at the nearest station-house, and inquiries made. If the girl was detained by any one against her will, a writ of habeas corpus from one of the superior courts would compel the parties with whom she was staying to produce her, and explain the reasons for detaining her. It was a case in which he (Mr. Partridge) could not interfere. The appli cant had better wait upon Inspector Kerresey at the Bow road station-house. CRUEL ROBBERY.—MaIi• Ann Bennett, a most notorious thief, and well-known in the district by the inelegant soubriquet of " Cast Iron Poll," was charged with stealing £l7 19s. in gold from a poor woman, named Mary Ann Marshall, of No. 3, Hainswell-ternee, New-road, Ham mersmith. The prosecutrix is the wife of a sailor, and a very indus trious woman. Her husband has left her his half-pay allotment note, and she has been receiving her monthly money and hoarding it, but instead of investing it in a savings bank, where it would have been safe and accumu lating at interest, she carried it in her pocket and never went away from home without her gold. On Tuesday night last she was in a publichouse in Well-street, opposite the Sailors' Home, and looking at a man playing a concer tina, when two girls of light repute asked her to treat them with liquor, and she did so. Her refusal to do so a second time brought upon her their hostility, and they struck her, She returned the blows and fought with them. Prisoner interfered on behalf of the prosecutrix, and took her home to that infamous place Bluegate-fields, which has become proverbial for robberies and outrages. There were two other women in the room to which she was introduced. They all asked her for some drink, and when it was brought into the room, a glass of what appeared to be gin was giv3n to Marshall, and she drank it. She had no sooner done so than she felt very ill and stupid, and threw herself on a bed. Her pocket, contain ing £l7 10s. in gold, was immediately cut from her dross by the prisoner. She knew all that the infamous woman was doing, but was unable to resist her. The money was wrapped up in a white handkerchief, With a green border to it. Mrs. Marshall was taken into the street again, and left there by the prisoner. -She went into a public-house and partook of a bottle of ginger beer which revived her, and meeting with a sympathetic woman, to whom she re lated that she had been plundered of her gold and had no means of reaching Hammersmith, she was sheltered,by her all night, and next morning the case was put into the hands of the police. The prisoner was captured yester day, and it was proved that she had made several expen sive purchases since the robbery. Nathan Jones, 213 K, said the prisoner was a most desperate character, and well known by the name of " Cast Iron Poll." William Walker, a police-constable, No. 488 K, produced a largo and showy new dress and crinoline, which she had purchased since the robbery. He also put on the witness box a pair of handsome new Balmoral boots, with military heels. The prisoner—l have had those blots a week or more. The police made me walk here without boots. The prisoner was remanded for a week, and provided with a pair of very old boots for her feet, instead of the new ones which she had only worn a few hours. SOUI I IIWARK. MURDEROUS AssAuLT. 7 --Daniel Sullivan, alias Collins, a ruffianly-looking fellow, who was - brought up on remand, was charged with a most brutal assault on a man named Colston, who is at present lying in the hospital in a dan gerous state from the injuries he received from the prisoner. Mr. W. Crawley, proprietor of the Swan and Sugarloaf publicheuse, Dockhead, said that on the afternoon Of Tuesday Colston was in his house with a friend who came with him in a cab, and had some drink. There *as some dispute about the cab far, and when Colston was leaving the house ho was attacked in a savage manner by the pri soner, when ho struck him and knocked him down, when ho fell on his head. Remanded till Thursday next. STEAM-ENGINES EXPORTED.—From a return yes terday printed it appears that the declared value of steam engines exported in eight months, ended the 31st August, was £1,290,538, against £998,125 in the same period last year. The current number of the " Edinburgh" presents us with a pleasantly varied table of contents. It opens with a notice of Watson's " Life of Bishop Warburton," in which it is remarked that the lives of scholars usually present few incidents for either biographers or readers; but this cannot be said of Warburton. His biographer says of him :—"Though his writings produced no permanent effect either on literature or theology,• yet the variety of the sub jects of which he treated, the display of intellectual energy in his pages, the number of eminent persons with whom he was brought into contact, and the scornful defiance with which he answered all that opposed him, render his life a career which cannot be surveyed without interest." The life of Warbur ton, says the critic, is, on the whole, a disappointing one, and its close is profoundly saddening. His only child, a son of much promise, died prematurely, and thenceforth his interest in life was gone. His powers had for some time been failing him, and his grief put the finishing stroke. The last question which he asked, " Is my son really dead, or not?" gives affecting evidence of the tenacity with which he still clung to the cherished memory. An essay on " Idiot Asylums," though unattractive in title, is full of most interesting reading. No work of charity or duty was longer neglected or more pain fully discouraging than this, and none has more richly repaid the labour spent on it. Many isolated at tempts to improve the condition of the idiot were made in this country prior to the organised and united efforts which resulted in the erection of the noble asylum which has produced so much good. In the year 1850 a number of benevolent persons resolved to institute an asylum, and hired Park-house, High gate, for the purpose. The first gatherings of the inmates at the openings presented such a terrible spectacle that, in the words of, the report, " some who witnessed the scene retired from it in disgust and others in despair." "It was," adds the same authority, " a spectacle unique in itself, and not to be forgotten by any." In six mouths even a mar vellous change was produced by the new mode of treatment, and all became order, obedience, and cheerful occupation. Very soon the building became too small for the applicants, e and it was resolved to establish a large national asylum. This pur pose has been happily carried out at Earlswood, Redhill, where the most astonishing effects have been produced. One of the most remarkable cases was that of a boy who exhibited a striking talent for drawing, and whose pictures excited the admiration of no less eminent judges than Sir Edwin Landsper and the late Prince Consort. His Royal Highness could hardly believe that the artist whose works he admired could ever have been an idiot. He was told, in confirmation, that it was six months before he could be taught to know a dog's head from his tail ! The same boy has made a model of a man-of-war, and several other inge nious works. He can also frame and glaze his own pictures, being one of the regular carpenters. An other boy who, on entering the asylum, was so help less that he could not feed himself, is now an adept at making mats with fancy borders: 4 P One of these matmakers lagged behind in one of the walks ; and when asked what he was doing, lie replied, " I was thinking of a new pattern for my mat ;" an answer which, as the writer justly observes, shows the plea sure which useful work gave to the poor vacant mind. In many departments of industry the pupils excel, only they need a superintendent. With this condition, they become admirable tailors, shoe- I makers, and carpenters. Some reclaimed idiots who have left the asylum earn five shillings a day as jour neymen carpenters. In the shoe-shop no one has been found able to cut out the shoe or measure the foot, but when this is done they can make them ex cellently. One boy at Earlswood can make a pair of boots a day, and declares he could make seven pairs in six days if they would let him have his tea stronger. • Many quaint sayings are heard by the visitors, and some of the inmates come up to the old Scotch notion of the " daft," or silly body, who was half a wit. One of them being reproved by the clergyman for inatten tion in church, replied, " If you had been looking at your own, book you would not have seen ine." The farm is another great source of delight, and to be employed upon it the height of ambition. It is noticeable that these poor creatures never fail in care and kindness to the animals under their charge—a striking example to more highly-gifted beings. Now and then prizes have been gained at neighbouring shows by the Earlswood farm and garden produce, and great has been the joy thus occasioned. It is observed in this article that many persons going to the asylum fancy it is an abode of gloom and misery, and are astonished at the univer sal merriment. All these wonders are wrought by the happy system on which it is conducted, the un failing love and kindness with which the unhappy beings are treated instead of the former brute force. Judicious prowess and authority are exercised, but in a mild and soothing manner. The greatest care is paid to each individual case, and care for the mind is coupled with care for the body, for it must always be remembered in dealing with idiots that both body and mind are affected. The alternations of indus trial work, play, and lessons are constant, no em ployment being suffered to become wearisome. This hint, it is justly said, should be taken by the guar dians of healthy children as well. The assiduous attention paid may be guessed by the fact that one boy, who was thought hopeless, was one day ob served playing with a straw by himself, and from that trifle his instructor had hope of him. The labour of love so zealously undertaken has been abundantly rewarded, and it is to, be hoped that soon all these afflicted creatures may be brought under its influence, since something can be done to ameliorate the condition of the very lowest. An essay on ." Early Italian Art" is full of interest of another kind, and the writer justly observes in treating of the difference between the various schools that there is an intolerance in matters of art as in other things, and that neither painting nor poetry can be rightly understood unless the critic will take the trouble to enter into the spirit in which the artist painted and the poet wrote. " The Tunnel through the Alps" is discussed in an able paper, in which it is justly ranked as one of the foremost among the " imperial works and worthy kings " which this engineering age has produced. In an essay on our relations with China and Japan, it is remarked that the worst danger with which the European Powers have been menaced of late years in both these countries has been the anarchy and disorganisation in them which threatens to weaken treaties by leaving no central authority to hold responsible for their infraction. Mr. Swim ' burne's " Atalanta in Calydon" receives well-de served praise ; and another critical notice is equally commendatory of Lady Duff Gordon's delightful " Letters from Egypt." The remaining articles would be, of course, incomplete without a political essay on the merits of Whiggism, but that does not diminish the characteristic interest and ability of the number. STATUES BY MR. NOBLE.—A statue of the late Sir James M'Grigor, Bart, who was ,Director- General of the Army Medical Department from 1815 to 1851, and who died in 1858, has just been placed in front of the new barracks at Chelsea, and will shortly be unco vered. It is the result of a public subscription, and has been done full justice to by the sculptor, Mr. Noble. The same artist has iilso nearly completed two other important works commemorative of the naval and military services, which will shortly see the light. First in melancholy in terest is the statue of Sir John Franklin, the Arctic ex plorer, which has been commissioned by the Government, intended to the consent of the House of Com mons, and is to be placed in the garden behind the Athenaeum Club, in a position so as to face the west side of the United Service Club. The fig-are of the devoted hero, eight feet high, and clothed in the fur-lined cloak appropriate to the bitter climate to which he succumbed, is manly in bearing ; the likeness is said to be admirable. The material is bronze, in which material also a small bas-relief will adorn one of the sides of the pedestal, representing the burial of the lamented explorer in his ice-bound grave. The other work to which we refer is the memorial to Sir James Outran), destined for Westminster Abbey. It consists of a simple bust, with a tablet beneath, representing the meeting of Sir James Outram and Lord Clyde at Lueknow. On each side of the principal subjects are two figures, partly seated, and very ably studied as to character and expression, of native chiefs, two chieftains of the Scinde and Mile tribes, mourning as for a departed friend.

The Freeman's Journal of yesterday Bays :—" From the subjoined extracts from the columns of some of our southern contemporaries, it will be seen that the raid' among the Fenians has not terminated, nor has the vigilance of the government nor the activity of its officials abated. Cork still continues to occupy an undesirable pre-eminence in the affair—a fact which is, of course, to be attributed to the circum stance of a number of the homeward American mails calling at Queenstown, and in the majority of those arrivals arrests have taken place. The City of Manchester arrived in the harbour about one o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the passengers landed were, as has been the case for the last week or two, closely searched by a large force of police. A num ber of revolvers, &c., were seized, and one of the passengers, Chas. H. O'Riordan, was arrested, the police having found on his person documents which they consider to be of a treasonable nature. He states that he had served as a captain in the Federal army, and had, before the breaking out of the Ame rican war, been an officer in her Majesty's 10th hussars. He was lodged in the Queenstown Bride well until the authorities in Dublin shall be com municated with. The captures among the military down south also continue. The Examiner of Wed nesday evening tells us that on Monday a sergeant of the 2d Queen's was arrested at Cork barracks, and two non-commissioned officers of the 99th, sta tioned at Buttevant, were likewise placed in custody, all on the charge of being connected in some manner with the Fenian movement. Other arrests have taken place in different parts of the county Cork, the parti culars of which we give below. We may here state, in reference to a paragraph which we transferred to our columns the other day from those of a Cork paper, that we understand there is no foundation for the rumour that the Government have resolved on holding a special commission at Cork for the trial of the prisoners: Yesterday passed over without any addition having been made to the number of the Dublin prisoners, and indeed it would seem that the attention of the authorities was now centred on Cork. The Herald of that city informs us that several members of the police force, disguised by wearing civilians' clothes, have arrived from Dublin. They bring with them, it is said, documents which will lead to further arrests in Cork. In the lodging houses where they remain, observes our informant, during their stay, it is remarked that they are strangely silent, and exhibit the strongest dislike to entering into conversation relative to the all-en grossing topic of the day." MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of the home grown wheat were very moderate. For most qualities there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm.

A WORD ABOUT GEORGE CnmsnANK.--Political caricature, indeed, George Cruikshank practised but a few years; perhaps he had hardly gall enough in his nature to relish even the harmless personalities of such an art ; though the changes and extravagances, or, as he named them, the " monstrosities " of fashion supplied him with subjects for some time longer. It is impossible to have been happier than he was in his portrayal of the rapid and fantastic alterat i o n s o f dress that milliners and tailors devised for the perplexity of their customers in his early manhood ; from long waists to short waists, from tight sleeves to gigots, which might well have held a leg of mutton, or bishop sleeves, which by themselves might have furnished materials for a chapter ; from Oldenburg bonnets, like a kitchen coal-scuttle, to flat-brimmed hats, which looked as if their model had been fanned in the frying-pan. It must be added that, as we may judge from other pro ducts of his pencil, if the male sex are, as they are wont to boast, less whimsical in their changes of attire, it is since Cruikshank's day that they have learnt that wisdom. Cer tainly, unless the artist allowed himself an, unusual license of exaggeration, man, with his head firmly held in its posi tion by his buckram cravat six inches high, cut almost in two at the waist by stays, with padded hips, and padded shoulders, tightly laced up, tightly strapped down, had but little cause to laugh at his fair sister.—Once a Week. ATTEMPT TO UPSET TRAINS.—On Thursday an attempt was made to upset trains on the Market Drayton line by depositing two large stones on the rails.
