emaroffslel.d .. l MONEY XA.RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCZ, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No further alteration has been made this morn ing in the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England, which therefore continues at 4i per cent. In some quarters a change was anticipated in con seqqence of the large abatement which has taken place in the demand for money, and the continued increase in the reserve of gold ; but however en hanced may be the position of the establish ment, it must be remembered that the autho rities have to provide for the payment of the Government and their own dividends next week, and prudence therefore dictates a delay in the movement which shall confer further discourt facilities upon the commercial classes, especially as the rate is now very moderate. The inquiry to-day is not active, and first-class bills are negotiable as low as 4f and 41 per cent. A further influx of £47,000 took place at the Bank yesterday, of which £20,000 was in sovereigns from Buenos Ayres. The biddings for £325,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta, £203,000 ;to Madras, £2,000; and to Bombay, £91,500. The minimum price was fixed at ls. 104 d. on all three Presidencies, being an advance of 1 per cent. as re gards Calcutta and Madras. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras, at Is. 111 d., will receive about 43 per cent., and on Bombay, at Is. llkd., in full ; above these rates, in full. The following resolution of the committee has been posted in the Stock Exchange :—" That, on and after the 6th inst., Imperial Ottoman 5 per Cent. Bonds be delivered ' ex coupon ;' and that in settlement of the account the coupon be taken at £2 1 Os. net. Two O'CLOCK. Ate Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 10c.—Flat. The English Stock Market has been very inactive, and prices for the Funds, in sympathy with the de clining movement in other securities, have slightly receded.

According to that journal the Minister declined for the following reasons the aid offered: —" There is not," he said, " the bhadow of a political movement in Palermo ; that at least ought to be fully esta blished in the eyes of Italy and Europe. The presence of Garibaldi in Sicily might give rise to different interpreta tions, and lead to the belief that it was a question of ex cesses committed by the reds, whom the red shirts alone could force back to their duty. Palermo must be made to feel the weight of the law, and to understand that the re gular troops know how to make authority respected in case of necessity, and that it can re-establish order whenever it may be disturbed." Garibaldi is said to have fully approved of the reasons expressed by the Minister. PRINCE NAP OLE ON.—'rhelhealth of :Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte has lately caused some uneasiness to his friends. Having been suffering from carbuncle he was Operated on at Aix-les-Bains, but without effect, On his return to Auteuil Dr. Nelatou again performed an opera tion, and hopes aro now entertained that the Prince will soon be conyalenent. 11 3 4 0 11 440 460 6 f 20 23 7 8 2i 3 2 3 10 12 3I 41 4 5 19 2 0 i I 19 21 14 33 36 31 31 6 8 2} 116 35 45 , •l 4 1 1 27 30 323 375 f li 14 16 11 13 3 5 1 2 8 SO 63 67 140 150 85 95 23 26 7 9 160 170 9 11 2.1.0 294 2.14.0 31 2.14.0 8.3.0 3.9.0 10.8. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OC roBE it 4, 1866. Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. MEETING THIS DAY. The usual half- yearly meeting of this company Was held at the London Tavern to-day ; Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the 'adoption 'of the report, which has already been published, said that at the last half-yearly meeting the directors had promised that they would reduce the expenditure as low as possible, that they would not make any increase to the capital account, and have remitted to this country any surplus of the funds of the company. That promise, he trusted, they would, consider had now been fully redeemed. The net debt of capital for the half-year was £l,OOO, the result of the working of 1,320 miles of railway. With regard to the general net profits of the company they were at the rate of 3 per cent., and if they considered the special circum stances of the company during the past half-year they must regard that result as satisfactory. The gross receipts on the whole undertaking, including the Buffalo and Champlain Lines, amounted to £637,425 ; and, deducting the disbursements, there was a balance of £234,000. He contrasted this state of accounts with those of the preceding half years ; but in the latter the receipts from the Buffalo line had not been included. But that did not make any serious difference. There had been an increase of £43,066 in the passenger traffic, and likewise on other traffics, tut there was a decrease in the traffic from the American lines. That was owing to the depressed state of the Ame rican markets and to the expiration of the Recipro city Treaty. In order to effect the increase on their traffic they had to expend £6,393. The loss sustained on the American currency was £14,264, but contrasted fa vourably with the half-years from June, 1862, to Decem ber, 1865. The directors proposed, after providing for bankers' charges, interest on loans, land rents, &c., to pay a dividend on the preference bonds, and regretted that they could not at present make a similar payment to the 2d and 3d preference Ponds, as he was aware that gentlemen were desirous of having their money. He went through some other details in connection with the company to show its stabiliity'and future promise. The report was agreed to. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. : COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RE CARTTAR-A CORONER IN COURT. This bankrupt was .described as of Blackheath-road, Greenwich, solicitor, and one of the coroners for the county of Kent. To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees. The debts are only £1,7C03 and Mr. Stephen Moore, mer chant, of Love-lane, was chosen assignee. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) PUBLICHOTJSE SCORES AND WORKMEN'S .WAGES-AN EX- TRAORDINARY BILL-BATTLE V. SHELLEY. In this case the plaintiff was a licensed victualler, carry ing on business at the Victoria Tavern, Gainsborough road, Hackney Wick, and the defendant was a brickmaker. The plaintiff sought to recover £3 lls. Bd., balance of a bill of £6 Hs. Bd. for beer, tobacco, gin, wine, cakes, broad and cheese, supplied to seven men, including defendant, in not quite three weeks. From April 23d to April 28th the score was C 3 4s. ld., and out of this only tenpence was charged for bread, cheese, and cake. Out of the whole bill of £5 Hs. Bd. the total amount for solids was only 2s. 6d. His Honour, upon examining the bill of particulars an nexed to the summons, remarked upon the large amount expended in the first week, out of which only £1 had been paid on account on tho Saturday night. , _ _ _ Plaintiff's - waiter said that was the opening week of the season, and the men drank more then than ut any other time. His Honour—So it appears, for in the second and third weeks the score was only £1 12s. and £1 15s. Defendant—There was no work in the first week. His Honour—And so you had more time for drinking. Evidence was then given to show that defendant had agreed to become responsible for the other men, and a book had been given to him, which had to be produced by any person demanding drink before it was served. Defendant said he always loft the book in his pocket, and the men used to take it out with his permission. His Honour—When plaintiff found that only £1 was paid off the first week's score, it was his duty to have refused to give any more credit until the amount was cleared up. Of course, when a number of men found that they could drink at the expense of one of their gang they always drank more than if they were individually liable. The system is radically bad. Defendant—The weather was very bad, and we could not work the first few days. His Honour—That is the very reason you should not drink. Where were the men paid ? Defendant—ln the plaintiff's house. His Honour—Then defendant should have seen that his bill was cleared off. Defendant—The credit was stopped after the third week. His Honour —What did you do then ? Defendant—Went to another public-house. We had no credit there, but paid as we went along. His Honour—ln my opinion the system adopted by the r - tiff is a bad one, and 1 shall not allow his expenses to-day. There can • 4,4=j vim pan to allow one man to become responsible for the rest, for directly the others are aware of the fact they will go on drinking to almost any extent, caring nothing whether the sum is cleared off or not. At the same time defendant has made himself liable, and he must pay the debt at ss. per week. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Cunlous CHARGE.—Robert Callaghan, tailor, in the em ploy of Mr. Roblis, 6, Jermyn-street, was charged with embezzling £l5 15s. Mr. S. Roberts, foreman to Mr. Roblis, said that on Mon day morning last he sent the prisoner to Hammersmith to receive the sum of .£l5 15s. from a customer named Lewen. The prisoner received the money, but he did not see him again till that morning, when he said he had lost the money whilo returning from Hammersmith. He took the prisbner to Vine-street, and there charged him with em bezzling the money. The prisoner said he lost the money as he had stated. Mr. Knox asked him, if that was the case, why he did not go back to Mr. Roblis at once, and make his misfor tune known ? The prisoner said he tried to do so, but his heart failed In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said he had known the prisoner for seven years, and he had entrusted him to get money for him before, and ho had brought it safely to him. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of making inquiries into the matter, and under the circumstances he would take bail for him. BURGLARY AT A TAVERN.—John Jones, a young man, was charged before Mr. Knox with having in his posses sion a quantity cf property of a miscellaneous description, supposed to be stolen. Police-constable 99 F proved seeing the prisoner at five o'clock that morning, in Dudley-street, with a largo bundle containing a railway lug, a cruet stand, and other pro perty, and on asking hlm where he got it, he said he picked it up. Not believing his story he took him to the station. Miss Horsman, the proprietress of a tavern in. Clipstone, identified the property produced, and stated that in coming down stairs that morning she found the bar parlour win dow open, the glass having been cut. She opened the door leading to the bar, and found that an attempt had been made to force it. A cheffonier had been broken open, and she missed several articles besides those produced. Miss Harriett Horsman proved that the bar parlour win dow was secured the previous night about 12 o'clock. John Burgeris, 83 E, said he found that an entrance had been gained to the house by getting over some walls at the rear of the house. He found on the window lodge of the bar parlour a knife which had been used by the thiel , es, with the view of forcing back the fastening of the window, but not succeeding in their object they had cut the glass. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. THAMES, EXTRAORDINARY EIGHWAI ROBBERY. -- Nicholas McGrath and Patrick Doughty, Irish labourers, of Salter's alley, St. George-in-the-East, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with highway robbery with violence. The prosecutor in this case is Samuel Sampson, a rigger, of No. 19, Jamaica-street, Commercial-road. He was psssing along Finch-street, Wapping., yesterday afternoon and was met by the prisoners and another man, described as a very big fellow, and they got before him and said " You are the very man we want." Ono of them held him by the collar and another rifled his pockets. Ile had nothing in any of his pockets, except a pennyworth of tobacco, which was taken from him. Th e 4, bi g fellow" said, "The - has got no coin ; kick him and let him go." The prisoners did kick the prosecutor, and threatened to treat him worse if he said anything. Ho gave immediate information at the station-house, and police-constable Reardon went in search of the thieves. Ile found them all in a public-house in Wapping, smoking the very tobacco they had stolen. Reardon took them into custody, and ou the way to the station-house the constable was attacked, and the " big fellow" was rescued. He is well known to the police, and will no doubt soon be in custody. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners for a week on the charge of highway robbery and violence. Reardon said the prisoners had been in custody before for assaults, and were very bad characters. Mary Byrne and Ellen Cullum, two masculine-looking women, each carrying a child in her arms, were then charged with rescuing a prisoner, "the big fellow," from the custody of iieaKdou. The prisoners eeized the con stable, pulled him about, and held him, while his prisoner escaped. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoners to one month's im prisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. UNENVIABLE POSITION OF A LANDLADY.-A very re spectable-looking woman besought Mr. Arnold's advice under the following circumstances : Applicant said that she was a housekeeper at Chelsea, and notwithstanding all her care and caution in demanding the very best reference with lodgers, she recently dis covered that she had got "cattle" in her house, in the shape of two loose women. She gave them notice to quit and after a great deal of trouble got rid of them as lodgers but unfortunately found her - self still hampered with them throut their being encouraged to visit and occupy the apartment of a male lodger. They were in and out the house all night, and it was really quite abominable. Mr. Arnold—You had better get rid of your nude lodger. Applicant—l should like, but lam very awkwardly situated. It is my furniture that is in his rooms, but 1 don't know whether I can take it out. Mr. Arnold—How is that ? Appliaant—Why, he has undertaken to pay for it at 2s. per week. Mr. Arnold—Then it's his own. Applicant—But it is not to be remove d t il l it's all paid for, and he has only just begun paying for it. Mr. Arnold—Then you can't get rid of him yet. Applicant—No, that's my difficulty. I don't want to get rid of him ; it is the women I want to get rid of. It is quite shocking to have such things going on in one's' house. Is he justified in having them there ? Mr. Arnold—l don't know how you are to prevent it The only mode is by getting rid of him. Applicant—l am much obliged to your worship, but I can't because of the furniture. Mr. Arnold—l cannot assist you. LACONIC.--I want • your vorbhip's advice. month's rent. Mr. Arnold—Pay it. I owe a BOW-STREET. The following appeared in our Third Edition of last evening:— CHARGE OF PERJURY. --John Edward Brasher, of 14, Portsdown-road, Maida-hill, appeared to answer a charge of making and swearing a _fictitious deed of arrangement. The additional evidence offered to-day was that of a witness namectWillitun Courtney, a dealer in old clothes, residing in Union-place, Marylebone, who stated that he signed the deed in question for a debt of £365, although no debt whatever was duo to him from the defendant. He did it because the defendant told him he only wanted time in order to enable him to pay his creditors 20s. in the pound. Ile signed the deed at Mr. Brasher's office, but he could not positively state that ho was present at the time, but he believed he was. He got a bill for £65 at the time from the defendant, but he returned it to Mrs. Brasher when she applied for it. He did not fill in the deed, but merely put his name down as directed to oblige the defendant. Defendant told him that the reason he was compelled to prepare the deed was because he was being severely pressed by a gentleman named England. Evidence was then given to prove . that the deed of ar rangement, containing other fictitious entries, besides that spoken to by the last witness, Courtney, was sworn to as true by the defendant before Mr. Johnson, of the Bank ruptcy Court. Mr. Vaughan fully committed the prisoner for trial, but accepted bail for his appearance at the next session of tho Central Criminal Court. • MARKETS.—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was moderately supplied with beasts in but middling condition. Prime breeds changed hands freely at extreme rates ; otherwise the demand was in active at Monday's currency. Tho show of sheep was by no means extensive. Downs and half-breeds were in good request at very full prices. Long-woolled sheep, however, were a dull inquiry. We have no change to notice in the value bf calves, the supply of which was only moderate. The sale for pigs was steady at very full prices.

Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co., in their weekly circular, make the following remarks respect ing the profits 'on the American and English Rail ways :—" Much having been said in disparagement of the prospects of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway during the progress of its construction, we have been induced to compare its actual doings during the first year of its existence with that of established railways in this country, and for this purpose have compiled a table, which reveals the startling fact that, not even our best lines, such as London and North Western, Great Northern, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and Midland, have taken so large a proportion of gross earning to coat of roads as the Atlantic and Great 'Western, whilst in the cases of the Brighton, and the South Eastern, the receipts are just about the same as those of the At lantic and Great-Western, the cost of each of the first-named being about fifteen millions against ten millions expended on the latter." Notice has been given by Mr. Coleman, the liquidator of the Bank of London, that all accept ances of the Bank of London to the draughts of the Bombay City Bank will be paid in full, with inte rest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, on the 17th inst. The Warwickshire Agricultural Society held its annual meeting for the award of prizes for hedging, draining, and ploughing, yesterday, at Wellesbourne, on the property of Sir Charles Mordaunt, M.P. In addition to the usual prizes, the society, with the view of bringing out the best ploughman and the best plough this year, offered two special prizes of £2O and of £lO for the best atido c second best `Thirteen ploughmen,and the class was open to All England. cometitors presented themselves, se and the work done was unusually good. The first prize, £2O, was awarded to Messrs. Ransome's ploughman, James Barker, and the second to a ploughman in the em ploy of Mr. Ball. There was some good ploughing in the boys' class, and a lad of 16, iu the employ of George Robins, Esq., of Stoneleigh, won the first prize with ono of Ran some's ploughs. These are the largest prizes that have been offered by any local association for some years, and, as might be expected, were severely contested. The awards were generally approved, and the splendid ploughing of Barker attracted great attention. TILE ItINDERPEST IN NORFOLIC—Daring the past month (September) only one case of cattle plague was recorded in Norfolk. The following ludicrous, but at the same time satisfactory, report has been forwarded to the Privy Council-office by ono local inspector :—" Sir, —I beg to report that we have no more cattle plague or Rin derpest in my beat. Our local committee met on Tuesday at the clerk's office, and agreed to discontinue the inspec tors; there are several who have sent in their resignations. There never was such a disease as Rinderpest among sheep. There are very few beasts to have it in my neighbourhood. Shall not have to trouble you with any more of these re turns." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Oct. 3. (Before Mr. Payne.) MORE POLICE EVIDENCE. John Bishop, who pleaded guilty last sessions to an in dictment charging him with having house-breaking imple ments in his possession, and against whom judgment was deferred, was again placed at the bar. It will be remembered that after the prisoner pleaded guilty, Sergeant Bridle, 404 A, stated that the prisoner was charged in 1860 with house-breaking at the Old Bailey, in the name of Epsworth, when he was sentenced to be kept. in penal servitude for four years.. He was indicted with another who gave the name of Jackson. The assertion, corroborated as it was by five other sergeants and four constables, the prisoner positively denied, and said to show how careless the police were in cases of identity, he would state, notwithstanding that statement might criminate him self, that in 1860 he was serving a part of a sentence of six years' penal servitude passed upon him in 1857, and there fore he could not have received a sentence of four yekrs' penal servitude in 1860. Ho challenged the fullest inquiry into all the facts, and said that if inquiry was made at Mill bank it would be found that he was there in the name of O'Donohue, that he worked as a plumber there with a man named White. Afterwards he went to Portland, and from thence he was sent to Bermuda, returning to England in 1861, which, of course, precluded the possibility of his hav ing committed another crime in 1860. On Monday, when this matter was brought before the court Mr. Payne di rected that some person from Millbank should to-day be in attendance to prove whether the prisoner vas the same person who was recorded in their books as O'Donohuo, and was sent to Bermuda prior to 1860. On the prisoner being again placed at the bar this day, Mr. Payne said—Before I go into this case, I want to know what witnesses are here ? Sergeant Bridle said the sergeant was present who had made the inquiries. Mr. Payne—l want to know if there is any one here who can say that O'Donohue is the same person as was sentenced at the Old Bailey in the name of William Eps worth ? Sergeant Bridle—l do not think there is any one hereto prove that. The master of the plumbers' shop in Millbank Prison is here. Mr. Payne—There is no doubt that a person of the name of O'Donohuo was convicted at the Central Criminal Court, was received from Bermuda on the 23d of October, 1861, and discharged in November 1861, with the licence No. 10,080, but unless you can identify the prisoner with that licence we shall make little progress with the mat ter. However, let the prisoner be given in charge of the jury. Mr. llodgkinson, the deputy clerk of the peace, then said the prisoner was charged with having been convicted of housebreaking at tha Central Criminal Court on the 7th of May, 1860, in the name of William Epsworth, and son tencod to be kept in penal servitude for four years, to which indictment he had pleaded not guilty, and it would be their duty to inquire whether he was guilty or not. A police-sergeant put in the formal record from Mill bank of O'Donohue having been in that prison, and sen tenced to penal servitude for six years, and also as to his discharge on his return from Bermuda. John White said—l was in Millbank Prison for twelve y ears. I have left there six years this month. I was employed on the establishment. I left on the 31st of October, 185 1 . , . I did not belong to the prison when O'Donohue came homo from his punishment at Bermuda. I know that the prisoner at the bar was in the prison, and that he worked with me, but the date I cannot call to mind. Ido not know when he came in or whoa ho went away. le was employed sometimes as a plumber, painter, or glazier with me. Whether he was there for six or four years I cannot tell. The prisoner—l was only in Milbank six months. Mr. Payne—This man does not show that the certificate from Millbank applies to the prisoner, or that it applies to the man of the name of O'Donohuo, who was discharged in November, 1861. Had he been at liberty there are hun dreds of people in London to prove that, but he has done nothing of the sort. Have you any witnesses who, after the 11th November, 1861, can tell us where you were and what you did ? The Prisoner-1 went home to my friends, and I have been there ever since. Sergeant Bridle—Ho admits that ho has had twelve months sinco. The prisoner—Hero is a man brought from tlAe Mill bank establishment who proves that in 1858 I was under his care, and six months afterwards I was transferred to Portland. Mr. Payne (to White)—Aro you quite sure that this man was in Alillbank before you wero discharged ? White—l am quite sure he was there. Mr. Payne—lle would have not been there unless he had been under sentence of penal servitude ? White— I do not know what he was there for: Mr. Payne—The simple question is—Are these people mistaken ? Is this the man O'Donohno ? Sergeant Cole, C division, was then called. Mr. Payne—You say that this man was tried at the Old Bailey in the name of O'Donohue ? Sergeant Cole—Yes, and it has come to my recollection that after he went away from the Old Bailey he was convicted and sentenced to 12 months. Before he got his six years I saw him daily, as he had relatives in the neighbourhood of Seven Dials. Mr. Payne—Are you sure, after the lapse of so many VsnT°l ti" 7. 1, are not mistaken ? Sergeant Cole—l feel confident, and on my oath to the best of my belief I say that he is the man. Mr. Payne—What is his age in the calendar? Sergeant Cole—lt is 44 now, it was 33 then. Mr. Payne—lf he came out of prison in 1861 you must have seen him up to 1866. Sergeant Cole—l will not swear that I have not seen him during that time. The prisoner —For the best part of the time I was with my friends in Northamptonshire. Mr. Payne—lf you came out in 1861 with a licence, there must be plenty of people who have seen you up to this time. The prisoner —I was convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude, and you have got black and white to prove it. That at any rate is much better evidence than the mere word of these policemen that I am William Epsworth. Mr. Payne—Have you some evidence that you wore at large for throe years? The prsoner —lt was in 1860 that I was accused of this offence, and at that time I was not in this country. Mr. Payne—lf you came out of confinement in 1861, cannot you prove that you were at large from 1861 to 1864 ? The prisoner —I was convicted at the Old Bailey in 1856, and liberated in 1861. Sergeant Cole, without any intima tion on my part, came forward to prove that I could not be the person who was convicted in 1860. Mr. Payne—Nine witnesses swear that this man was tried at the Old Bailey in 1860. The prisoner—From the first to the last I said that I was not the man. Mr. Payne —And Ido not say that you are. The pri soner—Let me say one or two words to tho jury before they give their decision. Sergeant Cole, who was sent for without any communication from me, said that I was arrested in 1855, committed to the Old Bailey, and sentenced to six year's penal servitude. I was transferred to Mill bank, and was there for eight months, six months of that time being under the charge of this man White, who was in the prison for twelve years, and who is not a de graded man like me. I was then transferred to Port land Prison, and from there I was sent to Bermuda. I came back in 1861, and the governor's signature to the document shows that I was discharged in 1861 : notwithstanding that those police-constables come for ward and say that I was convicted in 1860. Here is the governor's signature, which is a proof of my discharge in 1861 from Millbank Prison. I will now tell how I obtained the name of O'Donohue. When in 1855 .1 was arrested and taken to Marlborough-street I refused to give either my name or address, and at Newgate I was tried without any name at all. The deputy-governor of Newgate, Mr. Humphreys, however, wrote on the top Of the indictment, " I don't know who," which was made into O'Donohue, and I served the whole of my sentence under that name, and under it I was discharged. My lord, what will satisfy you ? If you want something more, send me arrested to Millbank, and there I shall be recog nised by at least a dozen witnesses. My lord, what further proof do you want ? Mr. Payne—l want some one from Millbank to recog- nise you as the man O'Donohue. It is said that you were received from Bermuda in Millbank on the 23d of October, 1861, and that you wore discharged on the 7th of Novem ber, 1861. If you could bring some one to prove that, that would be satisfactory evidence. Sergeant Cole—l recollect that when the prisoner was taken to Vine-street station, and also at the Old Bailey, that ho refused to give his name and address. I know him very well before, but I did not know his proper name. He was convicted without a name or address, and I saw no thing of him till I saw him at the Old Bailey after he was tried and sentenced. I was present at his trial in 1855, but I do not know how he got the name of O'Donohue. The Prisoner—l do this to prove to the Court that police men do make mistakes as to identity at times, although, at the same time, in doing so 1 have brought forward sub stantial proof against myself. Last Monday your lordship said whatever I said would make no difference in passing your sentence. Mr. Payne—What I said was, that as you told me you were discharged in December, 1861, from Milbank Prison, I want some one from there who saw you after you came from Bermuda. I want some one to show rue that you were turned out with this ticket No. 10,080. The Prisoner—Put me under arre st and send me to Mil bank, where I shall soon be identifi ed, and I vrill soon prove to you that I am not Epsworth. Police-sergeant P 9 said he had inquired at Milbank , an d was told that no one could identify him. Mr. Payne (to prisoner) —You h av e not shown where you were between 1860 and 1864. The Prisoner—What has that to do with what occurred between 1856 and 1861 ? Mr. Payne—l want nothing but the truth. The Prisoner —Nor more do I. I Lave committed myself Prisoner — atthis Court, for I have made myself worso than they have attempted to prove. Put me under arrest, and put me in a condition to prove the truth of my assertion. 1161 16 521 3 211 124 31 82! 3 AI 171 1 18 17/ 83 26 31 127! 8 eiM I him. The Foreman of the Jury—What are we to do ? Aro we to decide this case or not? Mr. Payno —You are to decide it. The Foreman (almost immediately)—We find the pri soner not guilty. We find that he is not the same person, and that he was not convicted in 1860. Mr. Payne said the sentence on him was that he bo kept iu penal servitude for five years. The Prisoner—Your lordship has not kept faith with me. You said I should not be punished in consequence of what I said. Mr. Payne—For this offence only, to which you pleaded guilty, you are aro liable to a sentence of penal servitude for five years. The Prisoner—My lord, I hope you will preserve this evidence, as I do not intend to let this matter rest here, as the whole of these policemen have perjured themselves. Mr. Payne—Oh, I dare say you can have the evidence. The Prisoner (to the policemen)—You are a disgrace to the cloth you wear. The prisoner was then removed to the cells, and the court rose shortly before seven o'clock. The Volunteers' Visit to Belgium. The honorary secretaries of the English Commit tee have received from Lieutenant-Colonel Loyd- Lindsay, M.P., his acceptance of the post of com mandant of the English volunteers in Brussels. The list of volunteers accepting the Belgian invitation must be closed at noon to-morrow (Friday), and no tickets can be issued after that time. It is ncces - sary that all volunteers going over provide them selves with these tickets, which are issued at the office of the honorary secretaries, 79, Basinghall street, E.C., inasmuch as railway tickets at the reduced fares will not be issued without them, and they will be required to be used as passports in Brussels. The Belgian authorities have made arrangements by which 125 volunteers can be con veyed free from Dover to Brussels on the morning of the 10th, 125 on the same evening, and the re mainder on the morning of the 11th. The railway arrangements between London and Dover are not yet decided on, but it is believed that the return fares will be 20s. first class,l4s. second class. The Great Eastern Railway, offer to convey volunteers to Antwerp (20 miles from Brussels) and back for 15s. first class, 10s. second class. They will run a special train from Bishopsgate at 5.25 p.m. on Wed nesday, and will have sufficient boats in attendance to convey as many volunteers as choose to go by that route, so that they will arrive in Brussels about noon on Thursday. Applications for tickets should be made beforehand. _ _ -- The following is the amended programme of the fetes to be offered to foreign riflemen: — Thursday, Oct. 11-7 p.m., torchlight reception of the volunteers in the Place des Nations ; presentation of the via dhonneur at the Hotel de Ville.

Sarcey, who has been wounded, is one of the corps of the Opinion Nationale. His account of the previous affair published in his journal had been generally spoken of as being very sensible and in good taste. He did not object to fight, but would insist that he had not insulted M. Pes sard. On the ground the principals had already taken off coat and vest, when the second renewed the discussion as to whether M. Pessard was to fight as M. Pessard or as M. Emile de Girardin, the editor, whom M. Sarcey had slightly touched up with his pen. Whilst this dispute was going on M. Sarcey suggested to M. Pessard that, as it was cold, pendente lite they should resume their coats; and the two men, who were standing in front of each other with drawn swords, began to have a friendly chat, which proved that there was nothing between them that required blood-letting. They paid each other compliments, and, as M. Sarcey says, he does not believe that M. Pessard desired to kill him, nor did he desire to slay M. Pessard ; and if it were merely an affair of a scratch, what on earth would that prove? M. Duvernois, how ever, one of the writers of the Liberte, and who was M. Pessard's second, seems to have determined that blood should be spilt, and, as our correspondent shows, has forced I\i. Sarcey to meet him. The means which he used will probably be found in the following article from his pen :—" It is now clearly established that Messrs. Sarcey and Co. will not fight, if they insult you they refuse to g ive you satisfac tion, and either they go to the police-office with cheek still smarting or pocket the lie given to them. Before this attitude we feel ourselves disarmed— disarmed by laughter ; therefore, no matter what impertinence they may indulge in, for the future we shall take good care not to demand reparation. For their benefit we inaugurate a new society, 'LeMonde Drolatique.' If M. Sarcey had had the smallest no tion of what is right, he would not have insulted the whole staff of the Liberte without having received any provocation ; he would have chosen proper se conds, and have given them full powers. However, we must not give M. Sarcey an importance which he has not ; but take him for what he is—an instru ment of the editor of the Opinion, M. Gueroult. The Liberte and the Opinion are the two democratic journals whose antagonism is the most clearly defined. At home the Opinion represents the St. Simonian doctrines of equality in servitude, and abroad it ad vocates war at any price ; and these gentlemen, who are incapable to resent au insult they have drawn upon themselves, attempt every day to embroil the different nations of Europe. They are never ataloss for pretexts to send others into danger, and to keep under shelter themselves. For a long time past their hybrid policy, which is neither fish nor flesh, which is neither courageous nor pacific, which is neither Governmental nor Oppositionist, has been marked in hot iron with these words, " Tainted democracy.' We have taunted M. Gueroult with this on every possible occasion, and it is not surprising he should wish to insult the Liberte, nor is it astonishing that this prudent pontiff of the St. Simonian Church should charge one of his vicars with the task of ad ministering to his rancour. These Jesuits of demo cracy do not like to do their own business ; and we desire to let Pere Gueroult know that his manoeuvres have not duped us." We see by a paragraph in the Temps that M. Sarcey's wound is not of a dangerous character. Good News for Travellers.

The French authorities have received the proposals of the promoters of the new company with great favour, and from the number of enterprising and spirited gentlemen connected with the new company there is little doubt but that the proposals will be carried out with great success.

They did show exercise only. RICHMOND. Moldavia and Zenobia were doing a mile and a half each this morning, but not very fast. Strathconan followed Dagmar a mile and three-quarters. It is not very likely either of the above will see Newmarket next week ; b u t Rose and Plaudit will both go, as they are very fit, and unless Achievement is quite ripe, the latter will win the Middle Park Plate. Rose must bring home the Bretby proceeds. Lozenge has got to work again. LITTLETON. Proserpino has been successfully put through the mill with Abergeldie and Salpinctes, and the three continue to do excellent work.

Our other horses are doing very little at present, Henry Goatees attention being taken up now with his Cesare witch and Cambridgeshire candidates. MALTON. Klarinska continues to do excellent work by herself, and yet it is doubtful now whether she goes for the Cesare witch. This morning she had a good two mile gallop, and never went better. War went a mile and a quarter with Westwick, and he too moves beautifully. He is sure to run. Klarnet and Messmate are turned out. Brown Bread galloped a mile and a half steadily. Treasure I`rove is in good work ; but the Leon and Grand Cross were absentees to-day. Queen of Nuts galloped a mile and a quarter, smartly. STOCKBRIDGE. Lecturer has been tried with Ackworth, and beat the latter. He galloped two miles and a half this morning at a rattling pace, pulling up sound and fresh. Black Prince did two miles. Both may run for the Ceserewitch. Ischia is doing well and goes to Newmarket. They will join Master Richard and Vauban there on Saturday. Rustic, Mr Pitt, and Kangaroo went a mile and three quarters to day, and Gumera two miles. Repulse galloped a mile and a half. Jack-in-the-Green, Lord Ronald, Pantaloon, Rose Cheri, William Pitt, Mrs. Stratton, Prodigal, Uncas, Tumbler, Ophecleide, Inez, Seville, Viridis, Empress, Duchess, Vendetta, Apsley, Ailesbury, Wild Agnes, Lila. unui, and several others were in mile work. LAMBOURNE. Caithness led Chepstow two miles at a good pace, and Regalia went the same distance by herself. They all three go uncommonly free. Bates is sending Pluto along first rate. Marksman and Mirella are being got ready at Russ ley for their next week's Newmarket engagements. Bean stalk is getting very fit, and may also go there. MARLBOROUGH. Savernako followed the Flutter gelding in a two mile gallop this morning ; and Dulcimer took Bradamante, Pepper's Ghost, the Splitvote colt, and the three-year old Mayonaise filly two miles and a quarter, all over the collar. Countess, Amy, and Nimble galloped a little over that dis tance. Pussy, Adam Bede, and the Intimidation colt woro in mile work ; and most of the others merely walking.

The course 01 exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1161 per cent. At this rate there 13 no profit on the tinportadon of gold from the Unitel States. P rb ß ue l rne N no C u E PrinceS c T o i n A t CHRISTIAN.—The The Manchester Courier has the " on the highest authority," Christian had contracted a mor ganatic alliance 11 previous to his marriage with the Princess Canterbury elm. As her Majesty had consulted the Archbishop of on the propriety of doing so herself, and the arrangement was carried out with his Grace's sanction, according to the Queen's wishes, the real cause being ,that it would have been awkward for the Prince of Wales to give away his sister to one who had advanced claims to a portion of the dominions of the King of Denmark. Our contemporary adds that, although these explanations have not been put forth officially, it has reason to know that it is wished, in the quarters most interested, that the facts should not be withheld.
