ONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL TvTELT,MENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues very inactive, few Commercial bills being on offer. The rates still tend downward, and from 5 to 5i per cent. are the general quotations for first-class paper. Loans in the Sto c k E xchange are in demand, owing to the set tlement, and 4/ and 5 per cent. are the charges from day to day. Gold to the amount of £78,000 was taken yes terday to the Bullion-office of the Bank ; £67,000 bei ng in bars, and £ll,OOO in sovereigns from Portugal. There were no withdrawals. It appears that there is a considerable demand for Confederate Bonds which have been lately ne glected ; the price is 4i to 6, but very little stock i 8 in circulation. Possibly accounts are favourable to the Philadelphia Convention, and the consequent return of the Southern States to Congress. The Bank of France returns show an increase in the bullion of £40,000, of £770,000 in the bills discounted, of £540,000 in the notes in circulation, of £420,000 in the Treasury account, and a reduc tion of £160,000 in the current accounts. Two o'CLocK. At the P ar i s ß ourse to- d ay, according to Reuter ' s tel egram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69 f. 60c. Transactions in the English Stock Market to day have been limited, the settlement of the fort nightly account still engaging the chief attention of the dealers and brokers. The Funds, notwithstand ing the prevailing quietude, are still maintained with considerable firmness. Consols are 891 f for trans fer to the 6th proximo, and 891 8 for the 9th October, being an advance of 1 per cent. The immediate value thus placed upon the re spective prices is indicative of confidence based upon the improved position of our monetary relations, home and foreign politics, and the esti xuated harvest nof much if below the average of previous years. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 to I ; Bank Stock, 246 ; India Stock, 210 ; and ditto 5 per cents., 1041 to f. Foreign Stocks are generally at enhanced prices, "ing chiefly to the state of the account which will be concluded this evening. Greek Bonds have ad vanced f, to 14/ 4 ; Spanish Passive /, to 231 1; a nd Italian 1, to 551. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 1 lower, at 251 1 ; Mexican 1, at 161 I ; and Bra n Scrip remains steady at 18 1 dis.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain firm at 62 63, and the Consolidated' Mortgage Bonds at 46 48. Business in the Railway Share Market has been m oderately act i ve, and a further upwar d movement h as been established in prices.

You know, also, that the Prince Iniperial was with her Majesty. The mayor of a small commune was anxious not to withdraw without having addressed a gra cious word to the young Prince. "What is your age, my Prince ? " said he. "I am ten," answered the Prince. "So young, and already the son of the Emperor of the French !" exclaimed the mayor, with great emphasis. During the last few days the dealings in the foreign and colonial produce markets have been on a moderate scale. Sugars have generally maintained former rates, while there has been a fair inquiry for coffee, and superior qualities have sold readily at about previous prices. Rice has been in demand, chiefly for exportation, but the high rates demanded by holders has, in some measure, checked operations. Tallow has only been in moderate Bequest, with very little speculative business going forward; quo tations, however, remain steady in all positions. SkIARE MARKETS.—This , S.

CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST A LICENSED VICTUALLER. —Henry John Clark, landlord of the Grapes Tavern, St. Mary-axe, was br . ought up in custody of Sergeant Wil liams, of the City police force, upon the charge of having intermarried with Isabella Browr, his first wife, Justina Mary Georgiana Clark, being still living. Mr. W. IL Smith, of Gresham-house prosecuted. • Isabella Brown, being called, refused to take the oath. Mr. Vaughan—On what ground do you decline to take the oath ? Mrs. Brown—l could not b© sworn ;I do not believe in it. Mr. Vaughan—But you must be bound in some way? Mrs. Brown—l will speak the truth as far as my con science goes. Mr. Vaughan—Are you of any religion ? Mrs. Brown—Yes, I am of a religion. Mr. Vaughan —Then you say you have a conscientious objection to take an oath ? Mrs. Brown—Yes. Mr. Vaughan—From what does that objection arise? Mrs. Brown- I do not believe the oath is valid or bind• ing. Mr. Vaughan—Do you believe that if you are examined without an oath you are bound to speak the truth. Mrs: Brown—Yes, and more than if I was sworn. Mr. Vaughan then ordered the administration of the declaration as of a person holding conscientious objections to the taking of an oath. She deposed—l live at 55, St. Mary-axe. I was married to the prisoner by banns on the 10th August, 1863, at the parish church of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields. 1 had known the prisoner about three years before we were married. Ile was my manager. We lived together for some time, and I objected, and said I would not live with him any more unless we were married. I had heard that ho was married, but I did not know it. I was aware that he allowed some thing a week to the woman that now turns out to be his wife, but I never knew it positively till yesterday. I have had three children by him, one before we were married. The Prisoner—You knew very well that I was married. You had been to my place and seen my wife, and when she found out the terms we were on it made unpleasant ness at home. Then I left her to go and live with you. The witness denied all these statements. Augusta Wilhehnina Alexandrina Brown—l am a widow. I was present on tho 10th Sept., 1844, at the marriage of the prisoner to my sister, Justina Mary Georgiana Clark, at the pariah church of the Holy Trinity, Minories. I was the attesting witness. My sister is alive, and is now in court. The certificates of both marriages were put in. Sergeant Williams, City police, No. 11—The prisoner was given into my custody at half-past three yesterday afternoon by the prosecutrix at the Grapes public-house. He said he was glad to come to an end of it ; it would wind up the affair, and she would be sorry for it. Mr. Smith—That is tho case, sir. I submit it is suffi cent for a committal. The prisoner, in defence, said he first knew the prose cutrix from meeting her about the time of the Crimean war, when he took her out several times, ar.d an intimacy'com menced. After the child was born she insisted upon his marrying her, and said if he wrote himself down a widower it would be all right. She knew he was married and had a family, but promised to say nothing about it. Mr. Vaughan said these were statements for the jury, The prisoner must be committed for trial. The Prisoner—l hope, sir, I shall be admitted to bail ? Mr. Vaughan—Certainly. What are you ? Prisoner —I am a publican. I had an interest in that house when we lived together. Mr. Vaughan—You must find two sureties of £25 each, and give your own recognisances for £5O. Mr. Smith—With notice of bail. Mr. Vaughan—Do you think that necessary ? Mr. Smith—He has said he would go away. Well, no, sir, I don't know that we can. The prisoner was then removed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNWHOLESOME FlSH.—William Fiunes, a costermonger, living at No. 17, Princes-row, Newport-market, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer a complaint of exposing for sale a quantity of fish unfit for food. Mr. Shirley Foster Murphy, of No. 120, Gower-street, assistant to the medical officer of health of St. Giles's, said that on being informed the defendant was selling bad fish in Dudley-street he went there, and found the defendant had some fish which was rotten, and enough to make a man sick. Mr. George Buchanan, medical officer of health of St. Giles's, said his attention was called by the last witness to the defendant's fish, and he found it totally unflt for food, as it was putrid and stinking. The defendant said that the fish was in the same state when he purchased it for 15s. . Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the defendant how ho came to pur chase such fish. He should have thought such a man as tho defendant would not have parted with 15s. without seeing what ho was purchasing. The defendant said that at Billingsgate the fish in bas kets was put up to auction on men's shoulders, and buyers :wore not allowed to examine it, ana the most they could do was to thrust a hand into the basket to judge of the quan tity, and then it was often half ice. If, after buying the fish, the buyer found the fish to be bad and went back, he found a board up with, "Fish sold with all faults," and the money paid for it was not returned. Ho had only sold 4d. worth of the fish, and as soon as ho found that it was bad was anxious to have it destroyed, and it was destroyed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considered it highly dangerous that such fish should be sold, especially at the present time when the cholera was prevailihg. He should fine the de fendant, but in consideration of his having lost the price he paid for the fish he should only impose a fine of ss. and costs. 'his Day. Naval and the 3leg se ra. telligence. Sir. John Pakington and the other Lords of the Admiralty were expected to arrive at Plymouth by the South Devon Railway yesterday, at 4 40 p.m. Their lordships will go on board their yacht in Hamoaze, and make her their headquarters during their official inspection at Devonport. The First Lord's levee takes place at the dockyard on Mon day morning, at half-past 10. It is reported that the board will not leave the locality before Wed nesday, as some time must necessarily be expended in determining the course to be pursued in the dis posal of the acquired land to the north of and ad joi-ing Keyham Steam-yard. So rapid have been the changes in the constructioa of ships, with refer ence to their speed, their means of resistance, and the character of the ordnance employed, that the proper mode of laying out dockyards in the new ground has been au annual difficulty for some years past. Happily no unnecessary expense has been as yet incurred, so that their lordships, aided by their engineers, will be free to adopt that scheme which shall appear best to meet present and future re quirements. . The Controller of the Navy, Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson, and the Director of Engineering and Architectural Works, Major Andrew Clarke, R. E., arrived at Devonport on Wednesday, and made an inspection preliminary to that of the Board of Ad triralq. Admiral Robinson visited the armour plated screw steamship Ocean, 23, in Hamoaze, which will proceed to-day into Plymouth Sound, where she will receive some live shell expected from Woolwich in the steamer Earl de Grey and Ripon. The Admiral also went on board the armour-plated ship Lord Warden, 20 ; the armour-plated :ron turret ship Wy vern, 4, Capt. Burgoyne ; and the iron-turret ship Prince Albert, 4, Capt. Wilms hurst, which is having some alterations made to her stern bulwarks. The Controller was accompanied by Acfm:ral Superintendent Drummond, of the dockyard. The screw unarmoured frigate 'Endymion, 2l, 2,486 tons, 500-horse power, Mr. E. C. Smyth master in charge, fitting for the first division of the steam reserve in the Medway, in readiness for com mission, remains in the steam basin awaiting the final instructions from the Admiralty respecting her. She has received her armament from the Ord nance stores, Chatham, including four of the new pattern 300-pounderguns, which latter are mounted, two on her port and starboard quarters. She is complete in board and aloft, and in all respects ready for the pennant. The sloop-corvette Reindeer, 7, 200-horse power (nominal), Mr. C. Wotton, master in charge, fitting for commission at Chatham, will be put out of dock to-day, and completed in harbour. The few trifling defects discovered on the testing of her engines having been remedied, steam will be got up on board for the first time to-morrow, and the official trial of speed be made next week. The screw steamer Rodney, 78, 2,770 tons, 500- horse power, in No. 3 Dock at Sheerness Dockyard, is undergoing repairs at the hands of the shipwright staff, in order to bring her forward for commission. The estimate of the repairs required to this fine ship —one of the old class of screw two•deckers, the building of which is now discontinued—was about £17,000, but, from the nature of the alterations and repairs required to adapt her for the service for which she is intended, it is probable that even this sum may be exceeded. Her copper has been stripped off to enable an examination to be made of the planking below her water-line. The decks have not yet been ripped up, but her upper deck planking will require to be renewed. The Rodney will be in the ship wrights' hands for some months before she is com pleted for commission. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Virago, 6, 220- horse power, having undergone some heavy repairs to fit her for service with the first division of the Chatham steam reserve, in readiness for commis sion, commenced the shipment of her coals in the steam basin yesterday, preparatory to making a preliminary trial of her engines. The direct. acting engines formerly constructed for the Virago by Messrs. Bolton and Watt have been removed since the steamer has been under repair at Sheerness yard, and iu their plaeo has been fitted tho maohinery lately• belonging to the Ithadamanthus. During the time the Virago has been in the shipwrights' hands—a period of several months—she has under gone some very extensive repairs, and bas been almost rebuilt. She is intended for immediate commission, for service, it is understood, on the West Coast of Africa. The screw corvette Charybdis, 17, 1,506 tons, 400-horse power, in dock at Sheerness, is being fitted with a topgallant forecastle, and is otherwise under going extensive repairs. She is to be furnished with new boilers, and opportunity is being taken to overhaul and repair her engines and machinery. Her Majesty's paddle sloop Devastation, paid out of commission at Woolwich in the early part of the present month, had been ordered by the Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty to undergo a gene ral overhaul and survey, in order to ascertain her availability for further ,service. From the defects which have been discovered in the commencement of the survey, and from her length of service, it is stated that in all probability she will be condemned to be broken up. The iron store ship Megsera, Capt. Montague B. Dunn, has been undocked at Woolwich, after re pairs, and is now in ordinary to be painted, and again prepared for particular service. The Supply, store vessel, Staff Commander Baw den, from Malta and Gibraltar, has discharged her cargo of returned War Department and dockyard stores at Woolwich, and will have to be docked to make good some defects. The Niobe, steam sloop, 1,081 tons and 300-horse power, built at Deptford, has been hauled out of the fitting basin at Woolwich, and placed in dock for examination and completion preparatory to her being commissioned for service. The Zebra, 17-gun sloop, after a thorough course of overhaul and repair, was yesterday placed under the north sheers in basin at Woolwich, to be masted and rigged down, and will be speedily completed for the pennant. Commander John M. Jackson, R.N., command ing the flagship Fisgard. at Woolwich, has been granted a month's leave of absence, the flag duties, it is stated, to be carried out in the interim by Lieut. Adolphus F. M. Meyer, first lieutenant of 41, By the , death of Gen. Sir C. Menzies, K.C.8., K.H., Colonel of the Royal Marine Artillery, Col. J. H. Gascoigne, C. 8., becomes Major-General, and a general promotion takes place throughout the corps. The 1 amar, screw iron troopship, Capt. Sullivan, C. 8., embarked yesterday at Portsmouth the Ist Battalion of the 17th Regiment, which had arrived by special train via Farnborough from Aldershot, and sailed in the afternoon for Devonport. The 17th will disembark from the Tamar at that port, and the 13th Regiment will afterwards embark and proceed in the ship to Queenstown, where they will give place on board to the 53d Regiment, which the Tamar will then convey direct to Quebec. The Orontes, screw iron troopship, Capt. H. W. Hire, is filling up with coal at Portsmouth, 'and remedying a few defects preparatory for sea. Her present orders send her from Portsmouth on Mon- day next to Queenstown, to embark there the 61st Regiment for conveyance to Quebec. The four regiments of infantry in garrison at Portsmouth that have recently returned to England from service in India and New Zealand, the 40th, 43d, 54th, and 68th, were brigaded on Southsea common yesterday morning for inspection by the general officer in command of the district and gar rison, Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. Buller, K.C.B. Sir George, accompanied by his personal staff, arrived on the ground at 11 a.m., and was received with the cus tom ary salute. The troops afterwards marched past at quick time in grand divisions, and were subse quently put through a variety of movements, at the close of which they were dismissed to their quarters. An order has been received at Chatham garrison directing a detachment of 30 non-commissioned officers and one officer of the 2d battalion of the 17th Regiment and 10 men of the 30th Regiment to be held in readiness to embark for Canada, to join the service companies of those corps. First Lieut..J. PhTps and the detachment of 30 non-commissioned officers and men of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry doing duty at New Tavern Fort, Gravesend, aro ordered to re join head-quarters, and will be relieved by a similar detachment from Chatham garrison. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—JohnDurken and Elizabeth Caley, well-known to the police, were charged with stealing quantity. of jewellery from the dwelling-house, No. 12, Eaton-square. William Tapster, 9, Glasgow-terrace, Pimlico, labourer —Between two and three yesterday I saw the male pri soner go into Na. 12, Eaton-square,:downithe area, the gate was open. I watched him and saw him run along the balcony • and the servants after him as far as 15. He dropped on to the pavement and 'I secured him and took him back. He threw a lot of things from his pocket, rings, &c., on the floor of the passage of the house. I saw the woman arm and arm with him before he went down the area, and sho waited for him. Harriet Goodman, under-housemaid to Mr. Richard Ward, 12, Eaton-square—l saw them when I left the house at three o'clock. The woman feigned drunkenness. I came home at four o'clock, and saw the woman laying on the steps of No. 14. One of the bells up stairs rung, and I answered it, but my mistress was not in her room, which was in confusion. I then saw prisoner come down stairs, and called the footman, who pursued him. George Holland, the footman, corroborated. Thomas Harlock, 266 A, proved apprehending the pri soner, and took several brooches and bracelets. Another constable then searched him and found some more brace lets. There was a sovereign amongst the jewellery, which he swallowed. The prisoners were sober. Caley denied complicity, and pleaded drunkenness. Mr. Richard Ward, the gentleman whose house was entered, proved the identity of the property. The prisoner Durken was committed for trial, and wished to be sent to the Central Criminal Court, but his request was denied him. THAMES. DESTRUCTIVE SUGAR BABIES—CURIOUS CARE.—William Mitchell, a wretched-looking boy, aged 13 years, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing sugar from the premises of Messrs. Dames, the extensive sugar refiners, in Rupert -street and Lambeth-street, White chapel. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. He appeared for the same firm at the commencement of the week, and the offender, a boy of 14, was fined 3s. Mr. Young now said the prosecutors had been put to seri ous loss and inconvenience by numerous gangs of boys, who broke the wire guards in front of the windows which gave light and air to the bottom of the sugar house where the sugar was run into moulds and cooled before it was sent aloft to be baked. The boys introduced long sticks into the moulds through the holes they made in the wire guards,.dipped them into the moulds and sucked the sugar off the sticks. In some instances the boys had de posited the stolen sugar in pots and other vessels and car ried it away. Messrs. Dames had been great losers by this system of plunder. It might appear ridiculous to prosecute boys for sucking sugar sticks, but the prosecutors had no alternative. The loaves of sugar were spoiled by sticks being introduced into them while they were in a liquid state, and the sugar stolen amounted in the aggregate to something very considerable. George Foster, a police-constable, 207 11 , stated that ho saw 25 or 30 boys round a window-grating of Messrs. Dames' promises yesterday evening, and the prisoner, who was the biggest boy, was among them, and had hold of one end of a long stick. The other end was in a mould of liquid sugar. He seized the prisoner, and threatened to lock him up if he did not leave the street and go home. He then set the prisoner at liberty. A few minutes after wards he discovered the prisoner in Lambeth -street poking a stick through another hole in a wire guard, and took him into custody. Tho Prisoner—Please, sir, I was only looking at the other boys dipping for sugar. Mr. Partridge asked if the prosecutors could not so con struct their premises and windows as to prevent these depredations. He thought that prevention was better than cure. Mr. Charles Young—The prosecutors cannot carry on their business without these wire guards. They are made of great strength, of the best iron, and the boys knock holes in them with stones and get the sugar out with sticks. My. Partridge fined the prisoner 205., and intimated that more severe punishments would be inflicted if the prac tice of " dipping" for sugar was continued. LAW INTE BHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) TEN GUINEXS FOR THE BITE OF A DOG. JOEL V. PIPE. This was a case in which plaintiff, a pretty-looking young Jewess, claimed ten guineas compensation for damages sustained in consequence of defendant's dog having bitten her. Plaintiff stated that defendant's dog was a great nuis ance, and as she was passing it one day recently it flew at and bit her so severely in the arm that she was unable to go to work, and lost,her situation. His Honour.—Do you know that the dog has . bitten any other person besides' yourself ? Plaintiff.-1 cannot say ; but I believe that it has, and that great complaints are made of it. A wituess.—lth - as bitten other people, to the knowledge of the defendant. His Honour. —Well defendant does not appear, and must award plaintiff the sum she claims, which is, think, an extremely remarkable one for the bite of a dog. Verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount, and fu. costs. AMERICA: [BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] NEW YORK, Aug. 30.. Presideht Johnson has visited New York, and met with an enthisiastic reception.

The political pressure to bring about Mr. Stan ton's retirement increases, and his resignation is daily expected. The Federal Attorney-General has ordered a nolle prosequi to be entered in the cases of the Fenian officers concerned in the Fenian raids. No hostile demonstration was made at the Fenian pic-nic held at Buffalo yesterday. The Fenians are reported to be demonstrating at Malone, and along the Niagara frontier. The commanders of the Canadian Volunteers, in the Brookville division, have been instructed to issue 60 rounds of ball cartridge to each man. General Sweeney has issued an address warning the Fenians against using the organisation of the Brotherhood for the purposes of American politicians. Two Federal war vessels have been ordered to Rio Grande, in accordance with President John son's proclamation, ignoring the blockade of Mata moras. The commander of the American Pacific squadron has been ordered to detach a force to take care of American interests off Mazatlan Guaymas. A terrific petroleum explosion has occurred at Long Dock, opposite New York. Six lives were lost and numbers injured. Property to the amount of $1,000,000 was destroyed.

Campbell, late of the Punjaub Railway, writes under date Aug 21st, as follows :—" I have just received a copy of Mr. Danvers' report, from which I beg to send you for insertion one or two quotations, which I think may interest your readers. Mr. Danvers, in his summary, says as follows : " The present sanctioned system of guaranteed rail ways comprise a length of nearly 5,000 miles, of which about two-thirds have been finished. One-third of the whole will probably have to be made with a double line within the next five or six years, before which time the 4,941 now in course of construction will be opened. It is estimated that this system will cost about £81,000,000, of which sum £ 6 0,860,000 has been raised, and £60,645,000 had been expended on the Ist of May, 1866. The ex penditure in this country has amounted to about £22,000,000 ; in India, to £38,600,000. Materials to the value of .£ 17 , 6 22,172, and weighing about 2,883,635 tons, have ltpen sent from hence. The proprietors of Indian railway stock and debentures now number 39,466, of whom 2,933 have been added during the past year. The gross receipts during the year ending June 1865 were £3,122,480, as compared with £2,303,288 in the pre vious year. The working expenses, £1,565,437 as against £1,322,656. The nett profits were, in 1863-64, £840,704; in 1864-65, £1,341,550. 12 500,000. The receipts from arglnsei g sirn: o ”t o h ds an i e n a c s r t e e a . s ” ed from £1,334,951 to n 88846y44160504. about b beginningo u t " The number of passengers were—in 1 863-6411,631,683, of the year 1869 continuous railway communication between Madras, Bombay, Calcutta, and Delhi will be established." During my journey last year through the cotton districts in India, I observed immense piles of cotton and other goods at railway stations waiting the 'arrival of waggons to convey the traffic to seaport towns to be shipped to Eng land. It was found perfectly impossible to meet the demand for rolling stock. In reference to which Mr. Danvers states that "at some of the stations on the East Indian Railway such was the demand for trucks, that it is supposed bribes were given -to secure a preference ; and it was proposed by a committee appointed to apply a remedy, that the trucks should be put up to auction, ignoring alto gether the established rates. This would not have been a proper arrangement, and it was accordingly decided to fix higher charges generally." The rolling "stock is inade quate for the present traffic. Orders have been given for 418 engines, the delivery of which will, however, be spread over three or four years. There were 442 ships employ d in 1865 in conveyirg rollingstock, and sleepers, and stores. The number of ships employed since the commencement of railway works in India is 4,246, of which 44 were lost." "A sum of nearly £16,000,000 has baen paid by the Go vernment during the last 15 years to the railway compa nies as interest on the capital raised by them. Of this sum about £4,900,000 has been received back by the Go vernmentgs of the companies. It appears third, 4 . 78 travel in the second, from which it will be seen that a t ,, h nc a dh t el 9 a .4l2pfares c eohamenrte.t first hstrtera stronger Under the head of " accidents for the year 1864, it ap pears that of about 13,000,000 passengers, 18 or 1.30 per million were killed." " With respect to the future, it cannot but be seen that there is much in the present condition of these undertak ings to encourage the hopo that success and prosperity are before them;' You will please observe that " the sum which it is now estimated will be expended on the undertakings as at pre sent sanctioned is upwards of £81,000,000," but this sum does not include lines of railway which were surveyed last year, and which are now under consideration—two of which aro most important missing links of the railway system in India, namely, the Indus Valley Railway from Kottree to Mooltan and the Lahore and Peshawur Rail way. The latter line will pass through, or have a branch, to the Salt Range, and have its terminus in the fortress which is about to be erected at the entrance of the Khyber Pass. I will not trespass any further on your space, but simply state that Mr. Danvers, who is Government Director of all the Indian railways, has written a report so full of impor tant matter, so comprehensive in all its views, and so just and enlightened iu all his decisions, that the managing officers of the railway system, and others interested, in the prosperity of India, must feel that the Government have place the right man in the right -place Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. Yestterday afternoon . applications were made to the chief clerk, Mr. Peake, at the Vice- Chancellor Stuart's chambers, Lincoln's Inn, for orders grant ing permission to certain parties to inspect the vari ous books and documents relating to this firm, now in the custody of the official liquidators, Messrs. Turquand and Harding. Mr.'George Lewis appeared for a large body of the shareholders ; Mr. Burcham for Messrs. Kings cote, Grissell, and Oppenheim, the committee of supervision appointed at a meeting of shareholders; Mr. Mackenzie for Messrs. Halford, Abbot, and others; Mr. Maynard for the official liluidatom. Mr. Lewis said that, on behalf of his clients, he applied that the inspection of the boots should be made by Mr. Ho well, of the firm of Walker, Red dall, Nix, and Howell, accountants, of 39, King street, Cheapside. Mr. Wright, who represented shareholders to the extent of 4,000 shares in the north of England, con curred in the application of Mr. Lewis. • The Chief Clerk thought there must be an inspec tion, but wished to make such an arrangement as would prevent half a dozen persons interfering. Re specting the application on beba'f of the comTrittee of supervision, he did not think it was necessa-y that he should make a spce;ic order, but only that he should endorse his opin;on on the summons that they were entitled to the inspection. Mr. Macken7:.e had c"enti who were oppor , d to Mr. Oppenhe;m seeing what amounts they had in Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. Mr. Turquaud replied that the materials objected to had been prepared for the committ-e, and per haps the objection was not now necessary, owing to the alteration of the market. • The Chief Clerk observed that the committee had a right to know, and he did not see how they could object to their seeing the books. He considered that his endorsement on the summons to that effect would be sufficient. Mr. Turquand—Yes. He was sorry that the committee should have thought it necessary to ask for an order. There was a time when certain per sons were exceedingly desirous that the facts re specting them should not be known, and they re ceived several applications to that effect ; but per haps the alteration in the times had rendered that unnecessary. The Chief Clerk—Any information derived from an inspection of the books must be considered as strictly private. He merely said that as a matter of caution, not that he believed it was requisite he should say so. Mr. Grissell would co consider it. Mr. Lewis proposed that Mr. Howell should in spect the books under his direction. Mr. Turquand would object to any person hav ing access to the books. The Chief Clerk—l only gave them permission to take Mr. Howell with them. It would be very dis astrous to have any person examining the books, and their going and talking and saying, " I saw such and such a thing." Anything discovered in these books should be kept strictly private and not divulged to any one, except in any application to the court respecting them. He proposed that these parties should have liberty by their agent to make the inspection at all reasonable times, and after due notice. He would not specify the books. The agent would have liberty to take Mr. Howell with him. Mr. Lewis—And to make copies ? The Chief Clerk—Yes. Some other summonses relating to the matter were ordered to stand over. The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund. The first meeting of the committee of " The Eyre Defence Fund" was held on Wednesday, at No. 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall—Mr. Thomas Carlyle in the chair. Mr. CARLYLE, on taking the chair, considered that the committee should be presided over by some nobleman of power and influence. As he (Mr. Carlyle), however, considercd it to be a solemn public duty on the part of every man who believed that Governor Eyre had quelled the insurrection in Jamaica, and saved that island, to come forward and boldly proclaim such to be his opinion, he would gladly consent to take the chair at the pre sent meeting. ___ Mr. HAMILTON HUME (the bon. secretary) read several letters from noblemen and gentlemen ex pressing disapprobation at the word "Testimonial " being used. They were all of opinion that a fund being rased for the defence of Mr. Eyre was in itself a testimonial. Mr. ALLAN LAMBERT (of the firm of Messrs. Cottam and Morton, West Indian merchants) said that he spoke on behalf of his own and other West India firms, who were prepared to come forward and contribute largely to the fund, for they had reason to believe that, in losing his official position, Mr. Eyre had lost everything. *. S. C. HALL, F.S.A., believed that the pro secution of Mr. Eyre would never be attempted, but at the same time it was well to be prepared. Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE considered that it would be advisable to meet the w;shes of all well-affected parties, and he therefore propbsed that the title of the fund be altered from " The Eyre Testimonial and Defence Fund" to " The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." In b;s opinion the amount of money subscribed, though an important, was by no means the most important point. The main object of the committee ought to be to attack resolutely, by all fair methods, the fallacy (for such he could not but believe it to be) that these 'noisy denunciations of Mr. Eyre were the deliberate voice of the people of England's opinion about Mr. Eyre. It was ultimately agreed that the fund should henceforth be entitled the " Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." Mr. HENRY KINGSLEY proposed, and Mr. S. C. HALL seconded, the following resolution :—" That immediate and vigorous steps be taken to increase the number of the committee." The names of several noblemen and gentlemen were recorded, to whom the honorary secretary was requested at once to write. It was resolved that the list of the committee, when completed, should be publ'shed, and that in the meanwhile the public should be invited to con tinue their subscriptions to " The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." Captain WALROND CLARK (late 10th Hussars) proposed, and Captain W. PALLISER, R.N., se ended, a vote of thanks to the chairman. The proceedings then terinin4ed. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—Yesterday after noon a meeting of the governors and subscr:bers of this institution took place at the New Theatre Royal Adelph;, Mr. Webster, the Pre3ident of the College, in the c hair s .
