tiONEYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. With a very moderate demand for commercial a ccommodation, and a considerable inflow of gold into -the bank, the prospect of affairs, especially monetary, is not so unfavourable. The only dis couraging circumstance is the high price for cotton,' and the refusal of some of the manufacturers at Manchester to work at full time in consequence. Already the burden is that the rise in prices will not admit a moderate profit, and it would appear that in this quarter there will not be a full and regular employment for the mill hands during the coming winter. Such a contingency is to be regretted more than in one light, and it is to be hoped that the supplies of cotton coming forward from Egypt and India will be abundant, and that America, too, will be able to export a larger quantity than was recently expected, and thus render increased work for the operatives, who will have to pay a higher price for the staff of life in consequence of the deficiency in our harvest. Regarding our stock of bullion in this country it is larger than for a considerable time past, and owing to this circumstance, as well as to the very light demand for accommodation, it is not improbable that in the course of the ensuing week the official rate of discount may be lowered to 4 per cent. •During the past two days the inquiry has been rather active, in consequence of the Indian Bills, which became due yesterday, and the antici pated reduction. To-day the inquiry has been very moderate, and the best commercial bills have again been negotiable as low as 34 per cent. The official liquidators of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East has issued a report to the shareholders. It shows approximately that the total debts on June 30 were £3,150,839, with assets amounting to £3,332,447, leaving a probable surplus of £181,608, subject to several possible re ductions for expenses, interest, &c. There is there fore a chance that instead of the shareholders being called upon to sustain a deprivation of more than their capital and reserve they may ultimately receive a small amount back. With regard to the payment of a dividend to the creditors the report states :—" Since the suspension of the bank large amounts of cash and bills have been received, and there is every probability of a considerable dividend being declared early in next year, especially if the funds accumulated at Bombay are sent home in accordance with my instructions. The claims for dividend will, it is estimated, be reduced by sets- , off to the sum of £2,500,000, or thereabouts, and the funds in the Bank of England in cash and in bills, which will shortly be available, amount to £750,000, and remittances are expected from the branches, including Bombay, to the amount of £600,000, making together £1,350,000. When these sums can be dealt with and the claims have been adjudicated upon, the dividend will be de clared. A further dividend will depend upon the progress to be made in the realization of the assets in China and India. Every exertion shall be used to secure the full discharge of the liabilities at the earliest possible date ; but, having regard to the natur e of the securities to be realized, and the large amount of claims upon insolvent estates, the time necessary for effecting this result cannot yet be defic e d . ,, The movements of the precious metals during the Put week have been on a rather limited scale. The ! lll P°rts have only amounted to £203,470, includ ing £14,390 from New York, by the Saxonia ; 9,84 0 by the City of New York ; and £15,440 by the Bremen. The Queen of Nations, from Aus tralia, has brought £93,000 ; the Pera, from Alex andria, £2,800 ; an d a b out £68,000 i n s il ver h as a, be en receiv e d f rom the Continent.

LAW INIELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) TAX COLLECTORS AND TAX PAYERS. - SINGULAR CASE. - RILEY Y. NORDREIM. This was an action to recover a sum of money for cer tain rates paid by plaintiff for defendant. The plaintiff is one of the collectors of rates for the parish of Shoreditch, and he knew the defendant. He now deposed that he had on more than one occasion called upon defendant for rates, and, finding that defendant was not prepared to pay them, had advanced the money himself, and allowed defendant to repay him within a certain time. Upon a recent occa sion he paid some poor rates for the defendant, and when . he applied to defendant for the money, Mr. Nordheim re fused to reimburse him. He had acted as a friend in paying this money. When the books were looked over lie was directed to press certain parties, and he paid the money for defendant in a friendly manner. Mr. Earle (Astley and Earle) said that it would be a bad precedent for the court to say that a collector of rates could pay the money due by a ratepayer out of his own pocket, and then sue for it. It was clear plaintiff was still liable to the parish. His Honour thought the defence hardly a fair one, and could not understood how a person who had been served by a gentleman in the position of the plaintiff could set it up. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff was entitled to sue for the money in the form of money advance d to the defendant's use. At one time the money stood in the form of rates, but when plaintiff paid those rates, their character was changed, so far as ho was concerned. I: was a pure monetary transaction. Plaintiff must have a verdict with costs. Verdict for the plaintiff. Naval and Military Intelli;ence. . Lord Henry Lennox, First Secretary to the Board of Admiralty, yesterday paid a visit of inspection to the works and departments of Woolwich dockyard. His lordship, accompanied by Commodore Edmon stone, superintendent of the yard, paid . a lengthened visit on board the hydraulic iron-cased ship IVater witch, in course of fitment in the outer basin, and also the building shed in which the new troopship Thalia is to be constructed. The ship's keel is in course of being trimmed and prepared for laying down without delay. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Supply, Staff Commander Bawdcn, laden with victualling and dockyard stores from Deptford and Woolwich, hav ing adjusted compasses at Greenhithe, sailed yester day thence to call at Plymouth, on her way to Rio Janeiro and Ascension, her ordinary trip to the Me diterranean having been rendered unnecessary in consequence of the Megvera having been despatched in place of the Supply, while under repairs in dock at IVoolwich. The following Admiralty order has been received at Woolwich, dated Oct. 17 : " With reference to Circular No. 8 of the 16th of Decem ber, 1861, directing that no new entries of seamen are to pe made from the shore, or from merchant ships, except on foreign stations, under certain restrictions, my Lords are pleased to relax those instructions, and to order that men may be entered at home as well as abroad who have pre viously served in the Royal Navy, with good characters, or in the first-class for conduct, and that well-grown, healthy men, under the age of 30, may be entered from the mer chant service, provided they produce certificates of good conduct from the vessels in which they shall have been last employed, and are considered in all respects eligible to be rated first-class, or ordinary, or able seaman.—By command of their lordships, " HENRY G. LENNOX." The number of lads who have presented them selves at the Fisgard's office at Woolwich, during the past week (five days) for admission to the Royal Navy amounted to 85, but on account of the strin gent regulations imposed by the Board of Admiralty relative to age and other qualifications, only 13 were admitted. The present regulations prescribe that boys for the service must be above 14i and not above 16 years of age—be over 4ft. Bin. high from 14 to 15 years of age and measure not less than 27in. round the chest; or over 4ft. 10in. high and 15 years of age to measure not less than 29in. round the chest, be able to read and write fairly; be strong, healthy, well grown, active, and intelli gent, free from all physical malformation, be able to pass a strict medical examination by the surgeon of the ship, and never have had fits. They must have a written consent of parents or nearest rela tions, and must produce a certificate of birth from the registrar of the district in which they were born, or a declaration made by one of their parents before a magistrate of the day on which they were born. Those who are admitted are well cared for, educated, and have certain employment until they are 28 years of age. All candidates must present themselves at their own expense. and if rejected, they must find their way back to their friends also at their own expense. It was stated yesterday at Woolwich that in spite of the rumours as to the difficulty of obtaining seamen for the navy, there are at the present mo ment actually available, at the reserves in.our va rious ports, an abundant supply of able-bodied men to commission eight or nine men-of-war, not includ _ . ing the Naval Volunteers. In addition to which number there are generally, on an average, about 3,000 men on leave. Admiral Sir Wm. F. Martin, K.C.8., was yes- terday appointed commander-in-chief at Devonport, vice Admiral Sir Chas. 11. Fremantle, K.C.8., whose period of command has expire d. The screw steam corvette Racoon, 22, Capt. Win. Armytage, from Ireland, arrived on Thursday in Plymouth Sound, where the crew was mustered and inspected by Port Admiral Sir Chas. li.

The screw steam victualling tender Buffalo left Plymouth on Thursday for Ireland. The armour-plated screw steamship Zealous, 20, Capt. Richard Dawkins, returned to Plymouth from her cruise in the Channel on Thursday afternoon. The Daphne, sister ship to the Amazon, recently sunk in the English Channel, has been successfully launched from her Majesty's dockyard at Pembroke Dock. The dimensions of the Daphne are as fol lows :—Length over all, 189 ft. ; breadth extreme, 36ft. ; depth in hold, 191 t. 4in. ; burden in tons, 1,081 6-94 ; number of guns, 4 ; horse-power 300. The vessel is to be jury rigged at Pembroke, and then she will be sent to Plymouth to be fitted out. The cavalry officers who were engaged in the Battle of Balaclava celebrated the anniversary of that memorable engagement on Thursday evening, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. There were present at the banquet Gen. the Earl of Lucan, K.C.8., Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., Major-Gen. Lord George Paget, C. 8., Major-Gen.

LORD POLTIMORE'S HUNT.—It will be most gra tifying to those whose opportunity it was last season to enjoy the fine sport shown by this splendid pack of fox hounds to know that the Poltimore establishment has now reached the Cattistock kennels, and already some most agreeable meetings have been enjoyed in the vicinity. We have recently had the gratification of witnessing thehounds in kennel, and too much praise cannot be awarded to John Evans, the huntsman, for the truly excellent trim in which the whole establishment has been put, considering the very short time the hounds have returned to the Dorset kennels. The pack consists of 511,- couple, and to use the language of one competent to form an opinion, we may state the dogs are all distinguished for size and power; there is not a narrow hound among them, or showing a weakness in any single point. They are extremely level, and, without exception, of the highest class ; and of abundant quality. The bitches are most meritorious, finely shaped, and do serving the epithet of grand. The hounds have had five weeks' good cub-bunting in the North Melton country pre vious to their return to Dorset, and during the past week some capital sport has been enjoyed at Martinstown, Wynyard's Gap, Melbury, and elsewhere, where the hounds have added fresh wreaths to their laurels, finding and kill ing an ample number of cubs. Up to Saturday last they had accounted for 151,- brace, and had run seven to ground, and we are assured that everywhere there is a good show of foxes, and plenty of sport iii store for the coming season. it , On Wednesday the pack met at Martin stown, and as 's already well known that Mr. John Homer is ono of the right sort—always most ready an d able to show sport— this,s was no exception. At Wynya rd ' s Gap the sport ndNi not so good, but still a good run was enjoye t d; a had a Monday last, when his lordsh i p was present, they ha with brilliant day. The hounds hav e been well worked, plenty of sharp hunting for th e new entries, yet they are all in excellAnt condition, and not one of the young ones looks sick or sorry. The men of Dorset may look upon the coming season with expectation of great things, and con gratulate themselves on their country being hunted by one W of the best packs in England. e are informed that Lord and Lady Poltimore and snito return to Cattistock Lodge on Monday, the 29th inst., and the first meet for the sea son will be on the following day (Tuesday) at Sydling House, the residence of Sir William's Smith Marriott, Bart., at 11 a.m., when there will no doubt be a numerous field. —Dorset County Chronicle.

MANSION-HOUSE. MATRIMONIAL DIFFERENCES.—John Mark, who has a pension of 18s. a week, having been in the Metropolitan Police, and £1 ss. a week as supernumerary constable at the Cattle Market, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wilson on a summons by the parish, charging him with deserting his wife. It appears that the parties had lived together, but had ceased to cohabit for twelve months, and that the defendant had been fined on different occasions for alleged ill treatment of the wife. She had been employed to take care of offices, and stated that he came there drunk, and that she was threatened with loss of her situation if he re peated his visits, notwithstanding which he wont again and created a disturbance. For the defendant two witnesses were examined, namely, a fellow-lodger in a house at Fleur-de-Leys-court, Norton Folgate, who deposed that the defendant was apparently a well conducted man, and that he had offered his wife to take her back, but that the refused, saying that she would not live with him for X3OO a year. Mr. Wonter appeared for the parish, and Mr. J. Levy for the defendant. Mr. Alderm•in Wilson said that he could not do anything n this case, which shauld be brought beforo an ecclesias tical court, and ho d's uissed the summons. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A BARRISTER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.—Mr.ARS de la Gautrage, barrister, of 179, Vauxhall-bridge-road, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting a boy named John Bhenden, living at 18, Rupert -street. The complainant said that on the previous evening he went into a chandler's shop at tho corner of Rupert-street to get some paraffin°, when a person asked him to go and see the time. lie crossed over, and put his head in at the public-house door, when the prisoner struck him on the head with his umbrella. lie ran across the road again, and the prisoner followed him and struck him on the faco two or three times with his umbrella. Mrs. Harriett Williams, of 47, Rupert-street, said she saw a man run after the complainant and strike him three times with his umbrella, and after doing so he went back to the public-house. She believed the prisoner was the man who struck the boy: Parmetty, 185 C, said he took the prisoner into custody on the charge of assaulting the complainant. In answer to Mr. Knox, the son stable said a crowd had collected, and three persons told him that the prisoner had struck the complainant. The prisoner, who spoke very bad English, said that yesterday eve ning he met a young wom an , a dwarf, who told that she would like to learn French ; ke went .)n with her to a publichouso, and while talking to her some roughs pushed the door open, and annoyed him by making faces, and having alined a blow with his umbrella, might have struck the boy, but he was not aware he had done so. Parinetty said the young woman alluded to by the pri soner was an unfortunate. Mr. Knox said the prisoner had lost his temper and had struck the wrong person. Under the circumstances he would give him an opportunity of making the boy some compensation, and if he did not satisfy the boy he should impose a very sharp fine. The complainant and the prisoner left the court, and having given a sovereign to the complainant, he was dis charged. THAMES. CRIME AND CHOLERA.—Eunice Malimn, aged 38, and recently landlady of the house No. 28, Tarling-street, St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing two silver watches, the property of William Mitchell, potman at a publichouse, and three dresses, two skirts, five jackets, two night-dresses, two blinds, three towels, four petticoats, and other articles, the property of Caroline Clitheroe. Mitchell and Clitheroe were both lodgers in the house of the prisoner, and they were away for some time, the former in the public house where he has been for some time employed, and the woman in the Cholera Hospital. On her return home, cured but very weak, she could not find the prisoner, and missed her property, worth about £5, which she had worked hard for. When Mitchell returned home he missed two silver watches, a silver guard, four table cloths, and two shirts, worth in all more than £5. An inquiry was made for the missing landlady by police -sergeant Preeston, No. 58 K, who took her into custody yesterday afternoon in a coffeehouse in the White chapel-road. She said, " Well, I have not taken all that I am accused of, I will give myself up." She had a shawl, a pair of drawers, and a white jacket on her arms. Freeston asked her if that was part of the stolen property, and she said it was. _ _ _ Mr. Charles Portman, a pawnbroker's assistant, said he advanced 3 's. on one of the stolen watches, and that Mit chell said it was worth only 255. Mr. Partridge—You understand the value best. There are more dupliCates produced, and no doubt some or all relate to the stolen property. I will remand the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTE R.

James Hills, a constable of the railway, said the defen dant came to the Victoria Station at 10 minutes past 12 o'clock that morning, an d desired to be let in. He was drunk, and said he wanted lush. Witness told him he could not be let in at that time of night, as the last train was gone; and then he attempted to force his way in, as saulting witness as he did so. Michael John Sheen, travelling inspector on the line, said he saw the defendant and the last witness struggling at the gate, and ho went to ascertain the cause of the bother. He requested defendant to leave the premises, as they were private, but he refused and struck witness, tearing his collar and scarf. He was ejected, and remained o-Asido using bad language, and asked witness whether he would have a sovereign, a glass of grog, or a smack in the mouth. He was still more riotous, and was looked up, conducting himself violently on the way to the station. Defendant said he was not drunk, and had only been bailed half-an-hour. He could being evidence to prove he was not drunk, if time were allowed. Mr. Solfe told him the company's premises were private, and he had no business there. Defendant pleaded ignorance of the fact. Croome, the reserve man at the station, said he was drunk. _ Defendant called a witness, named Francis Willan, of 35, Cumberland-street, Pimlico, who said the defendant was very roughly handled, but he cer tainly was slightly intoxicated. Defendant said he had only two glasses of beer the whole evening. . Mr. Selfe said he was not a beerometer (a judge of the effects of a certain quantity of liquor, probably), and, as the defendant was a gentleman, he must be fined hand somely, 40s. in each case. p RE FA RATIONS FOR LORD MAYOR'S -D AY. —Mr. n o i l e e nt s processionf t, r the banquet ti‘ n irl : le u ebDt e e : osK o st: :: a niagihtt-hill, -itihilehle G.

Napper and Baldock, the pugilists who met in fierce (very fierce) con flict on Tuesday last, deserve well of the profession. They have rescued the noble art from the imputation of not being business, which two of its devotees, by a very mild encounter, lately brought upon it. If any two people in this world ever meant business, they aro Messrs. Napper and Baldock. Their contest was altogether a lively affair. Not only did the principals " light, and gouge, and bite and kick" each other, but the seconds, in addition to taking an occasional share in a trouble in which either Mr. Baldock or Mr. Napper foucd himself undermost, drew life-preservers against one another, and were only pacified by an offensive alliance against the referee, who was threatened with annihilation, and received so much towards it that he was knocked eff his seat, and departed the ring, leaving the fight undecided. How is it that the railways carry these assemblages of ruffians ? Are the directors who control the Charing• cross and Cannon-street stations addicted to the fancy? One thing is certain, that the shareholders are small gainers, as the greasiest and dirtiest of the crowd not only took and retained by force seats in first-class carriages, " notwithstanding the loud protesta- , tions of the half-frightened and much• bewildered porters,' but upon the arrival of the train at Greenhithe rushed off over the embankment to avoid paying their fares.—London Review. ALARMING FIRE IN CHEAPSIDE.—This morning as Reynell's groat clock was chiming a quarter-past two o'clock, Conductor Silk received information that a fire had broken out in one of the lofty houses almost facing that well-known establishment. The Conductor at once pro ceeded with the Royal Society's escape, when he found that a fire had taken place in the premises occupied conjointly by Mr. R. Hart, a wholesale boot and shoe manufacturer, and Mr. Thos. Beck, a stationer, situate at No. 81 in the beforenamed thoroughfare. Captain Shaw, the chief of he Metropolitan Brigade, with two steamers, by Shand, Mason, and Co., was almost immediately on the spot, and a good supply of the New River Co.'s water having been procured, the firemen, with the aid of hand pumps a nd buckets of water, were enabled to extinguish the fire, the in damage done being as follows :—Mr. Hart.—Back room first floor, used as office, and staircase tents damaged by heat, dm Cause of fire, I damaged by fire ; front room, used as warehouse, tscieedcounp grioleat, itc. flue.

A CHOLERA COMMISSION.— It was announced some weeks ago that a sum of money would be granted to Mr. Simon-to enable him to institute a full scientific investigation into the recent outbreak of cholera in the metropolis, and the names of very competent men were freely mentioned as likely to take part in the inquiry. A little later we heard that so munificent a stun as ..Zeoo would be allotted towards the expense of a thareughisncru tiny into the origin of an epidemic which has slai n er e s o o f much w y thousands of human beings.
