MONEY MARKET 1 1 . , • AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A. very moderate demand prevails for discount accommodation. There are no periodical engage ments just now falling due ; and as trade is some what inactive, requirements of the commercial com munities are not numerous.

The imports, which have amounted to about £78,116, have included £5,000 from New York by the China, £3,700 by the Fulton, £12,400 by the Edinburgh, and £2,000 by the City of London. The Panama, from Vera Cruz, has brought £23,300 ; the Surat, from Alexandria, £16,809 ; and about £14,907 in silver has been received from the Continent. The exports have been £60,936 to the Brazils by the Rhone ; and there have been re mittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at £342,549, the total amounting to £403,465. The directors of the Demerara Railway Company have issued their report to be presented to the pro prietors on the 19th inst. The revenue account for the half-year, ended 30th June last, exhibits a net balance of £7,002, against £5,331 in. 1865 ; this amount, added to the balance mentioned ill the last report, of £584, gives £7,587, of which the prefer ence dividend will absorb £4,025, leaving £3,562, out of which the directors recommend a dividend on the original stock at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, carrying forward £1,536 to the current half-year's account.

MANSION-HOUSE. 1 Ax IspusTßiots PICKPOCKET.—Thomas Bryan was t charged before Mr. Alderman Abbiss with picking pockets. Police-constable Obee, of the City force, said that yes terday, about half-past 12 o'clock, he saw the prisoner loitering about the Mansion-house, and knowing that he was a bad character he followed him through Leonard street into Gracechurch-street. He saw him put his hand into a gentleman's pocket, but he did not take anything out. He had an outside coat, which was dexterously ar ranged so as to conceal his right hand. He saw him make several similar attempts during the day, and in Grace ehurch-street he saw him take a cigar case out of a - gentleman's coat pocket. He hailed the gentleman, but he could not make him hear. He then seized the prisoner, who dragged him into an ale shop, but with the assistance of a gentleman he detained him until one of his brother officers arrived, and he Was then taken to the station. He said that the cigar case had been in his possession for 21 I months, and that it had been given to him by the captain of a vessel in which he returned from Now Z nlatifi to this country, and on board of which he was employed as a baker. He asked the prisoner how many cigars there were in the case, and he said four, but there were only two. The prisoner gave an address at Brentford, but he had had no time 'to make inquiries there. The prisoner was well known to him and his brother officers as a pickpocket, but t he was not aware of any previous eharge against him. 1 The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded till Thursday. • 1 • WHOLESALE THEFT.—John Young was charged with stealing different articles, the property of Mr. Brock, hard ware dealer, at 10, Houndsditch.l Jonas Smith said he was assistant at Mr. Brock's, and that the prisoner, who dealt in china and other articles, was a customer, and was in the habit of calling at the shop once a week. He came yesterday about half-past 3 o'clock, and asked for half dozen waiters. He suspected him of having stolen some articles previously, and he 1 watched him closely. He saw him put a rug over some goods on the counter, and he immediately took some knives and decanter corks with plated tops. He gave the prisoner the change for the waiters, and as he was about to leave he stopped him and took the articles in question from under the rug. Tho prisoner begged to be let off as it was his first offence, but witness-gave him into custody. The value of the knives was £3 55., and the corks Bs. The prisoner refused to give his address, but on being searched i t was found on a - card ; it was at a place at Penge. He went there with the officer and the prisoner, and they discovered some tea-pots and other articles which he identified as the property of his master, and which he knew had not been sold. There were other articles, but he could not swear to them. The prisoner made no remark at the time respecting the articles. The evidence was partly corroborated by the police. constable who took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner pleaded guilty and was committed for trial BOW-STREET. ROBBING A POLICEMAN.—Harriet Harrison, servant, and Mary Ann Leary, machinist, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch from Police-constable Edwards Marks, 125, of the Y division. The prosecutor said he had been on leave of absence, and last night he was returning home from Lambeth, on his way to Kentish-town, where his division was sta tioned. He got as far as Bloomsbury, when he met the two girls at the bar, who asked to stand treat—rum, for preference. (Laughter.) Having done so he came out of the house and had a little conversation with the ladies— (laughter)—when one of them went away, and just at that moment he missed his watch, and saw the other stooping down to adjust her crinoline. He told her he had lost his watch, but she denied all knowledge of the matter, and while they were talking the other girl returned, and he took hold of them both and called loudly for the police. It was some time before a constable came—(laughter)— but when he arrived—(renewed laughter)—he gave the girls into custody. Of course he had not found his watch. (Laughter.) The prisoners said they knew nothing of the watch ; ho was walking along when he spoke to them, and having partaken of some refreshment with him, they were about bidding him good night when he charged them with stealing his watch. Mr. Flower said he should remand both prisoners for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET: TREE T FATAL PuctrusTic ENCOUNTER.—John Young, of NO. 9, High-street, Bloomsbury, bootcloser, was brought before Mr. Knox charged with causing the death of Edward Wilmott,.at the Queen's Head public-house, Queen's Head court, Windmill-street, by striking and beating him. Robert Bennett, of No. 5, Dean-street, Oxford-street, said,—l was at Shaw's public-house, Queen 4 s Head-court, at half-past 9on Tuesday night last, having purchased a ticket to go and see a sparring match. I paid 6d. for the ticket. I went upstairs and saw the prisoner and another lad sparring and knocking each other about. It continued for an hour. They had a scrambling fall, and the other lad could not come up - to time. Shaw came in, and said, 'Now, gents, it's all over." The other lad got UP, and wanted to fight again, but Shaw would not permit it, and I then went downstairs. The lads fell together several times. While having a glass of ale at the bar I heard that the other lad had fainted, and went np and saw him lying on the table, and the persons used the usual moans for restoring a person who had f a inted, sprinkling water in his face and giving him brandy with a spoon. This was about 20 minutes alter the spar ring was over. That is all I know about what occurred that night. I attended an inquest last night on the body of the deceased, and saw his dead body at Charing-cross Hospital. There was blood then about the deceased's mouth and nostrils, but there was none on Tuesday night. I did not see any bruises about either of the lads, but tlpy were flushed. Inspector Silverton, of the A division, said—l have had the inquiries to make in this matter. Last night the pri soner came with his father to the Vine-street station, and was then charged. Mr. Knox (to the witness Bennett)—Did you at any time while the sparring was going on see the gloves off ? Bennett—l did not, and the deceased seemed to make very light of the matter. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—l shall be obliged to re mand you. lam sorry the affair has had such a lament able and melancholy ending. I will, however, take good bail for your recognisance. The prisoner was then remanded on two bails of £5O each. ILT.NING MARKET.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY. -- Eliza Brown, a middle-aged woman, was charged with stealing 50 yards of cotton stuff exposed for sale at the door of a linendraper's shop, No. 85, Crisp-street, Poplar. The prisoner was seen by a butcher's man named Prior to take the roll of stuff, put it under her arm, and walk away with it. He gave information in the linendraper's Shop, and Mr. Worland, shopman to Mr. Simpson, the owner of the stuff, went after her and accused her of the robbery, which she stoutly denied. The roll was lying on the ground beneath her. The prisoner, in defence, said—l did not take the stuff. He did not find it in my possession. He brought a man to the station-house to identify me, and he could not do so. The prisoner was committed for trial. NON-REGISTRATION OF A LODGING-HOUSE.--John Myers, the landlord of a common lodging-house in Provident street, St. George-in-the-East, was charged by inspector Hunt, of the A divison, and one of tho officers appointed to carry out the common lodging-houses act, with not re gistering his house. _ _ Police-Sergeant, No. 48 A, found three men sleeping in the defendant's house, and he awoke them, and each paid 2s. per week. The defendant paid .£l5 a year rent. The walls and ceilings were dirty and filthy, and the house was badly ventilated, not registered, and not fit for the recep tion of lodgers. Mr. Partridge said it was highly important that the common lodging-houses act should be carried out, and dirty and ba,dly-ventilated lodging-houses prohibited.

MAILS DUE, tish packet _ . . Ditto, ria Cork Alleged Murder of a Wife iu Bethual-green Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, yester day held an- investigation at the Prince Albert Tavern," Mape-street, Bethnal-green, relative to the alleged murder of Mrs. Mary Ann Scott, other wise Burgess, aged 43 years, by her husband, a shop keeper, carrying on an extensive business in the B eth nal- green-road. The case apparently created the greatest excite ment and indignation amongst the inhabitants of the district, large crowds of persons assembling in the street, and freely expressing their opinion that the deceased had been murdered, and that her hus- band ought to be hanged. Mr. Abbott, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the friends of the deceased. _ _ A gentleman said that he had been requested by the only daughter of the accused to ask that the case should be adjourned until a solicitor could be in- The Coroner said that he should adjourn the case after taking so much evidence as would justify an Mrs. Jane Bridges, 1, West-side, Cambridge heath, Bethnal-green, was the first witness called. She said that she was the sister of the deceased. Mary Ann Burgess was her name. She had been married to a backgammon maker named George Burgess ; but while he was still living she married the man with whom she was living at the time of her death. The name of this second husband was Wil liam Scott, and she was married' to him nine years ago. He was a tripe-dresser. Burgess was, witness believed, alive at the time of the second marriage, because she saw him only a month before it ; but he went away to sea, she understood. Coroner—Did not Burgess call at Scott's shop after the marriage and smash things ? Witness lam not aware of that, Sir. I was sent for to see my sister on Wednesday. I had seen her on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and on Tuesday I found her very ill. She was very much bruised where she said " he" had beaten her. On Vednesday when I was sent for I found her in bed, I noticed bruises on her person. The man Scott came up into the room, and deceased said that he had beaten her. He said he had not, and swore at her dreadfully. He said, " Die, you die !" He said she was not half dead enough yet, and again repeated, " Die, you cow !" On Thursday morning I saw deceased again, and I observed that her bedgown was torn, and that there were scratches on her neck. I said to her, " This was done when I was here last night." She replied, "He said You cow, I will tear your windpipe out.' " She gave me to understand it was he Tho inflicted the injuries. The husband was present, but he seemed as if he bad been drinking. He said nothing in an swer to the deceased. They used both to drink, and they frequently quarrelled. Deceased was sober every time witness saw her during the present week. She died yesterday (Thursday) morning at 9 o'clock. By Mr. Abbott—The bruises witness saw were on the leg, where she said Scott had kicked her, and also on the breast. Had seen Scott hit her, but that was some time since. By the Foreman—l know that the shop had been often closed during the last month on account of those quarrels. When I used to go to assist de. ceased Scott often ordered me out of the room. A Juror—Deceased went to Ramsgate a mono ago. Did she not return drunk, and was she no drunk ever since ? Witness— She came on the night of her return to I my house. Ido not know that she was drunk since. The Juror—Well, I know it. The Coroner—A juror is not a witness. By the Foreman—l have heard her say that Scott ill-treated her, because she'would not transfer to him her interest in the shop and house. The name of her mother was up still, but the business was carried on in the name of Scott. James Ritson, tripe-dresser, lately in the employ of Wm. Scott and the deceased, deposed that Scott and the de- Ceased frequently quarrelled. On Tuesday morning last, at two o'clock, he heard her scream, and she rushed down into the yard. Coroner—Did you go to her assistance ? Witness—No, sir. Coroner—Had she not asked you to go to her assistance whenever she cried " Murder 1" Witness—Yes, she had asked me. I was in bed on Tues day morning. On Wednesday the sister of the deceased came, and made her some arrowroot, and then left at half past 12 o'clock. Scott was down stairs and not sober when she left. He said, "Now I'll g o up stairs, and have a row." Witness asked him not to do so ; but he said he should do as he liked, and he went up stairs. Directly afterwards witness heard screams of " Murder !" and he rushed up. The deceased said, "He hit me in the side." Scott called out, " And I will hit you again," and rushed at her. Witness laid hold of him, and a struggle ensued, he catching hold of witness's neckcloth. Finally witness left him in the room, on condition that he would not strike deceased again. The same evening deceased got a pint of ale, but she seemed to be sober. On Thursday morning witness was awoke by a noise, and he heard his master say, " You cow, will you coma into bed ?" She (de ceased) said, "Oh, Bill, come and help me, I am so bad." Scott answered her by sa yi n g, " If I get out of bed, I'll chuck you down stairs." Witness heard him get out of bed, for his boots were on, and then there was a dreadful fall that shook the whole place. Witness jumped up, and called out to his master, "You what are you doing to her now ?" and went and got a light. He found the gas-pipe up stairs broken, andthe gas escaping. He entered the bedroom, and found the deceased on the floor, with her head under the bed and her feet towards the door. Scott was on the bed with all his clothes on. Deceased cried out to witness, "Oh, pray lift me up." Witness said, "No, 1 will fetch your friends," and he called out to a person below to come up and see the state of the deceased. Scott called out, " Oh, let the cow die!" Witness then went to Mr. Bridges, the brother-in-law of the deceased, and told him. Mr. Bridges said, " Get a policeman, and I will go there at once." But witness had to go to Whitechapel-market, and he could not get a policeman ; he put the horse to and drove to the market, and came back by six o'clock. He found the deceased still an the floor at seven o'clock, when another man employed fn the business (Godfrey) called him up. Godfrey wanted witness to help to lift her into bed, but witness said, " No, she has laid there so many hours now, that she may remain there till her friends By a Juror—Witness remembered deceased's having put a tape out of the window to get np a bottle of gin. By the Foreman—She was made a prisoner in the up stairs room, but whether to prevent her getting drunk or not he could not say. On last Saturday night, at ten o'clock, Scott held her down by the hair of the head with one hand while he hit her with the other. Witness knocked him into a chair. They were both not sober. Witness never held down the deceased while Scott beat her. A Juror—Then you were not the one that did that. By the Coroner—Yesterday Scott said to me, " You know," and tapped his breeches pocket saying, " You stick to me and I will stick to you." I made no answer. By Mr. Abbott—They used to quarrel, drunk or sober. Scott used frequently to threaten to kill his wife, but not when sober. When sober he used to swear dreadful, and would only sometimes strike her. The Coroner then adjnurned the case, in order to give the accused an opportunity of being present to make his defence. The accused, Wm. Scott, was on Thursday night appre . headed by the police on a charge of murder. Foreign Mail Packet List. via Southampton Oct. 20. Australia and New Zealand, Ditto, via Marseilles _ Oct. 14.

R.S., it is ascer tained that whilst dwelling-house smoke is comparatively harmless, factory smoke is highly deleterious. He explains that the smoke from private dwellings carries•with it (and that solely at the time and shortly after fresh coals are added) only carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, and sulphuric acid gases, and a small quantity of the most volatile hydro carbons, the less volatile products forming "soot," which remains in the flue. The gases, th© escape of which con tinues but a few minutes after firing, have but little or no action on vegetation or man. In burning coal under steam boilers the results are very different. The fuel is not, as in private dwellings, perfectly consumed, but there is a continuous distillation of deleterious tarry products, which by the draught of tho tall factory chimney are tarried with all the other noxious products, into the cold atmo sphere at the top of the stack, where they quickly con dense and fall, to poison all within their reach.—Mining Journal. 2.1.0 294 2.14:0 8.3.0 3.9.0 10.8.0 all 0.14.6 14.9.6 11 3.2.0 18.18.9 35.15.6 others.

The Glasgow Daily Herald of yesterday says : Mr. and Mrs. Kean took their benefit last night. The theatre was crowded from stalls to gallery, and many in vain sought admittance. The pieces were " Richard II." and "Jealous Wife." In the former Mr. Kean sustained the part which gives the title to the play, reaching, it is scarcely necessary to add, the high standard which usually marks his perform ances. In " The Jealous Wife" the character of the impetuous Mrs. Oakley, brimful of anger and jealousy, was admirably represented by Mrs. Kean. Mr. Kean took the part of Mr. Oakley. On the conclusion of " Richard II." Mr. Kean was called before the curtain, and, in answer to the warm plaudits which greeted him, spoke as "fol lows Ladies and Gentlemen,—Allow me to take this opportu nity to express the sincere thanks of Mrs. Kean and my self for the cordial welcome with which you have hon oured us after our long absence, and for the brilliant engagement we are about to conclude. (Applause.) I think I am justified in using the word " brilliant," when I am informed, upon official authority, that during our brief stay in your city about 40,000 persons will have witnessed the performances. (Loud applause.) In our wanderings round the world we have travelled many, many thousands of miles, and visited many countries, where our• efforts were crowned with most signal success, and where we were received with the most gratifying warmth and kind ness ; but with all our thankful recognition of the good feeling exhibited towards us, we return to our own land with the heartfelt conviction that "there is no place like home." Mr. Kean retired amidst loud cheering. Mr. and Mrs. Kean's highly successful engage ment will conclude to-night with the play of " Louis XL" STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Oct. 12.—The yarn-market has been a little more active, but there is no improve ment in cloth. In shipping yarns there has been rather more business in consequence of more en couraging advices from the East, and some rather large parcels of 40's mule have been taken for that quarter, at rather better prices than would have been obtained on Tuesday. Prices were strong to the close. In home trade yarns we had a very firm market, with a steady business, but sellers find it very difficult to keep pace with the increasing cost of cotton at Liverpool. The business doing is rather the result of pressure through the cotton market _ than of any urgent demand, and therefor e to ow' extent partakes of a speculative feeling. For cloth business buyers have not the slightest disposition to the advance in yarn and cotton, and small scale. done . since Tuesday has been onf aTuesday have Where higher prices than those been discouraged and to follow been demanded business has to act and will not with a caution checked. Buyers continue that appears something but timidity , for any but small quan commit themselves to f o :loth are less saleable than tities. India make,s cinnrket may be described as about the same dull and inactive, with quotations others, and as on Tuesday. to-day NOTTINGHAM , 12th. —There was a better attend ance at our Exc han g e-hall to-da y , and the dema nd for lace yarns was rather improved, prices being as high as last week. Hosiery yarns a toler ableftiyll sale, and recent rates were well maintained. There was not much doing in silks, but prices tended upwards. For brown nets the demand was limited, and prices were unchanged. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL—Dover, Thursday. —The barque, Star of Ceylon, of and from London, bound to Ceylon, about 500 tons, with a general cargo, has been run into by a Spanish steamer off the South Foreland.

THE SHENANDOAA.—After many vicissitudes the celebrated Confederate cruiser has passed into the hands of the Sultan of Zanzibar, having been just purchased by him from Messrs. Stoddart Brothers, of Liverpool. STEPHENS, THE FENIAN.—The following is fron a speech of the Chief Organiser at a Fenian picnic, on the 24th of September :—"lt is my deliberate intention to go to Ireland this year, and let no man be mistaken in this. Some nien have said if I were in earnest I would not have made it public, but there are men who, either by their treachery or their blunders, made it a necessity on me to do so, and if I were a free agent I would not do so. I choose this course only as the least of two evils forced on me, be cause, if 1 did not make a definite statement, I could not hold the men in Ireland together, they have been so much meddled with ; nor the men in this country either ; their complaints have reached me, and it is therefore that I tun forced to say that I will undoubtedly be in Ireland this year, for I fully believe, even if I do not go over, they could not be held in over there, and the fight would go on without me. If I thought it would be of any gain to delay the action I would do so and risk all my popularity ; but I can- not, for they are determined ou fighting this year, and I am as fully determined on being with them, come weal or woe. No matter what others say, take my word I will be iu Ireland, and then the people will strike a blost for liberty." VESSEL SUNK IN TilE CIIANNE.L.—A.botit half past 10 on Thursday night Capt. Mortleman, of the South-Eastern Railway Company's steamboat Albert Ed ward, then lying at the new pier, Folkestone, thought he heard shouting from seaward, and shouting in return he made out the distinct reply " Shipwreck." A boat was of course lowered and sent off, and presently a captain and a portion of the crew of a vessel were brought on board, who after being refreshed were put ashore. Their statement is that they belonged to the Star of Ceylon, 399 tons, which left London on Wednesday, bound for Point de Galle with a general cargo. At half-past 7on Thursday night, when a little to the north-east of tho South Foreland, they were run into on the port bow by the Spanish steamer Velan- quez, Don Jose Vibos master, from Malaga to London with wine and dried fruit. The Star of Ceylon filled rapidly, and the craw scrambled on board the Spaniard ; last of all the captain went to the fore-yard, and from there dropped to the steamboat's forecastle. Within five or eight minutes of the collision the Star of Ceylon sank; and the Spania-d was apparently so badly damaged that she ran direct for the shore. The crew of the Star of Ceylon lowered a Spanish boat, and the captain and 12 of the men got, in, with two of the Spanish crew, and rowed away for Dover. Attempting to land there the boat was nearly swamped iu the surf. Their shouts for aid Were answered from the Admiralty-pier, but no boat came off, and so they put off to sea again, and made for Folkestone. Not knowing the entrance to the harbour, or the amount of surf, they were afraid to attempt to land ; but their shouts were heard a:►d assistance given them. The persons who came ashore were :—Capt. Matthews, —• Pitt, mate ; Samuel Phillips, second mate ; James Henry, carpenter ; Henry Linksoni steward ; John Merrifield, John Pike, William Brown, John Pollard, George Bell, William Turner, Richard Had din, Valentin Garcia, and Jose Paredo, the two latter be longing to the Spaniard's crew. Rudolph and Parker, two missing men of the Star of Ceylon, are believed to have been left on board the Spaniard. The Spanish steamer got into Dover Harbour. THE OUTRAGES IN SHEFFIELD.—The attempt to murder a tile grinder and his family has created a very painful feeling in Sheffield, and the authorities have given proper expression to the feeling of indignation which the odious crime has inspired. The mayor addressed the council on ;the subject on Wednesday, and suggested a subscription for the family of Fearneyhough ; and at the police-court, on Thursday, a man named Ratcliffe, charged with an assault upon his employer, was refused bail on account of the prevailing alarm. It transpired that there had been a combination amongst the workmen in the employment of Mr. Shaw, a wireworker, to prevent a man named Shields from working; and on Tuesday they resorted to open violence, seriously assaulted Mr. Shaw's groom, the prisoner striking him over the eye with a \ bludgeon ; and they used the foulest threats to Mr. S haw, and intimated that he could be " polished off." A remand was granted in order that the whole of the gang might be apprehended. Mr. A. Smith, the clerk, in stating that the bench refused bail, said, "If the bench were to bail you after these threats, and there were to be loss of life or property, what would the public say ? On an ordinary occasion I would have advised the magistrates to grant bail, but after the rata horrible event they would be afraid to do so. If the work ing men of Sheffield see that the magistrates act severely, as though we were going to have martial law established here—for it really comes to that—they must blame them selves, and not the bench." With regard to the outrage in New Hereford-street, it is in contemplation to offer a very large reward (£1,000) for eliminatory information. The executive of the organised trades met on Thursday, and took steps to vindicate their association from any compli city in the attempted assassination. The manufacturers are going to establish a protective association.
