lONEY MARKET A ND commEaor aT, NTELLIGEECII, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Monetary relations remain without alteration, and the preparations for the Indian and Chinese c ommitments, the maturity of which is impending, are easily effected, owing to the abundance of money and the terms on which capitalists are willing to Work. We have to announce that the acceptances of Itessrs• Ramsey, Elder, and Co., of Barbadoes ; J• and A. Elder, of Antigua ; and Elder, Stephens, and Co., of Bush-lane, have been returned. The liabilities are presumed to be large, but it is stated t here will be a surplus, the inconvenience being O nly of a temporary nature. Mr. White, of King street, is the accountant engaged on behalf of the creditors in each instance. The Bank of England return, completed to the s th December, is of a rather unfavourable charac ter. The bullion only shares an increase of £61,574, Vlnle there is a decrease in the reserve of notes of 142,340. The other securities have been aug mented by £209,736, and there is also an increase In the active circulation of £226,425.

The payments will be £1 per share on application, £1 on allotment, £ 2 on the Ist March, 1867, and £2 on the I st June, 1867, leaving the balance to be Provided for as the business of the company progresses. This company is established on account of the desire of a large number of the shareholders of the late Oriental Commercial Bank, and the b usiness of this enterprise will be confined exclu sively to mercantile agency and commission. There will be no preliminary expenses, and no payment is to be made for goodwill. Mr. Boore has requested us to state that he is no longer the manager of the London office of the Con solidated Bank. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady, at 56 to 58, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 411 to 42. At a meeting held to-day of the London Char tered Bank of Australia, the accounts presented to the 30th June, 1866, showed that the balance, in cluding the amount brought forward from the last a ccount, amounted to £56,223, and a dividend is re commended at the rate of 4 per cent. on the Paid -up capital, free of income tax, leaving a balance to be carried to the next half-year, 0f.£13,223, after Providing £3,000 for the colonial building fund. The Mexican dollars by the West India packet, " 13 Well as several parcels from the United States, have been sold at 594 d., showing a decline of an eighth from the previous rate.

During the last few days there has not been much ,achnation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce M arkets. Sugar, however, has maintained previous mo tes. For superior qualities of coffee there has b een an active inquiry, and late prices are well sustained. Rice has been in moderate request, but In tallow the dealings have been on a limited scale, at barely previous rates. At the Bank yesterday there was an influx of £24 ,000 in bar gold. The Sir John Lawrence has arrived from Mel bourne with gold to the amount of £38,000, and th e New York from New York with £43,400. Mr. R. P. Harding, official liquidator to the Joint -Stock Discount Company, in a circular ad dressed to the shareholders, states :—A first dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound will be forthwith paid, out °I the cash and proceeds of Exchequer-bills, to the creditors of the company whose debts have been Pr•ved and allowed, and if the call be properly re sponded to I expect to be in a position to pay a r urther considerable dividend early next year.

TUE NEWSPAPER PRESS—recently announced as the forthcoming Organ of Intercommunication between the various members of the Fourth Estate—has, according to promise, put in a first appearance this December. And, so far as the initial number of a periodical so entirely new in its general aim and character can do so, it realizes the fairest anticipations of its well-wishers, meaning thereby, as we should suppose the whole world of newspaper people whom it more especially addresses —Newspaper Proprietors and Editors, Journalists, Reporters, and Cor respondents, Paper-makers, Stationers, Typefounders, Prin ters, Compositors, Readers, Newsvendors, Advertisement Publishers and "The Trade" generally—to say nothing of the Public generally ! Twenty Pages, admirably printed on excellent paper, and with beautiful type—so much for the more medium or materiel of the undertaking. As to the contents they are, at any rate, miscellaneous, interesting, and comprehensive. Babblings about old Times have amused us, especially in the second portion of them—they at any rate being no , 4 mis nomer," being in point of fact the merest babblings, thoegh of the most harmless character. Tho Press Literary Directory promised to be com menced in the ensuing number, and thenceforth, we presume, to be continued until completion, threatens to put - an end to our newspaper system to its leading characteristic, The Anonymous. What was it the late Lord Strangeford, bettor known in his day as the Ron. George Smythe, once said —" England, Governed by her Journalists, while the names of her journalists are unknown." To this characteristic of the anonymous the now Press organ we arQ here alluding to would seemingly put an end. rximiatioulE 7311Att Great Forthern, 5 percent., 109 tireat Northern, 5 per cent.. rd. at 5 per cent. pm., 163 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 6 per cent., Ditto (.£6 , 4} igj Mid Consolidated, 6 per cent. stock, Di. to, Bristol and Birm., 6 per cent., Ditto, 4y per cent. irred.. 94 Midland, Leicester and Ditchin 4 per cent., 85 North Eastern, G.N.E., 4 per cent. pref., Stockton and Darling,ton B, 6 per cent., 31i . 1 111,9:FERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

The plaintiff in this case was a widow, and she brought an action against the defendant, an omnibus proprietor, for compensation in damages for the loss she sustained by the death of her husband through the negligence of one of his (defendant's) servants. The defendant pleaded that the accident was contributed to by the deceased, and that his servant was not to blame. Mr. Sergeant Robinson and Mr. Dowdesvilla were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and another learned gentleman for the defendant. From the opening statement of counsel, and the evidence for the plaintiff, it appeared that the deceased was a hop inspector and sampler, and had lived at 19, Doyenll-street Dover-road, Southwark. His occupation was profitable, as, during the busy time in the hop trade he could earn .£1 a day. The accident occurred so far back as the 18th of November, 1861, about 7 o'clock in the evening. The deceased, with some sacks on his shoulders, was crossing the road from St. Thomas-street, in the Borough, to the other side, when the omnibus of the defendant came down at a rapid pace from the direction of London-bridge. He was struck by the pole, knocked down, and the omnibus passed over him. He was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but his injuries were so severe that he•died on the 22d of the month. He left the plaintiff and wo children,who were wholly dependent on him, and since his death they had been in great dis tress. It was elicited from the plaintiff in the examination that her husband occasionally indulged in drink, and that she had to bring him before the magistrate in consequence of his violence and threats; but she said that he was quite sober on the day of the accident and when she saw him in the hospital. It was deposed to most positively, by.persons who witnessed the accident, that the omnibus came at a very rapid pace down the incline from London Bridge to St. Thomas's-street, that there It as no "skid" on, and that it was impossible for the deceased to have avoided the accident. For the defence the driver was called, and said that he made every endeavour to pulliup the horses in time, and that except that the deceased was laden with sacks, which prevented his seeing or hearing, the accident would not have occurred. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.. MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE OF SCUTTLING THE SHIP SEVERN.—This morning the Justice Room at the Mansion House was crowded with the leading members of marine insurance companies in consequence of its being known that Hold worth, who lately carried on the business of a ship and insurance broker in Fenchurch-street, wl'o stood charged with being concerned in scuttling the ship Severn, and for whose apprehension a reward of £2OO had been offered, would be placed at the bar, ho having been taken into cus tody abroad. He accordingly took his place with the other prisoners, viz., Bennett, the reported owner of the Severn; Webb, the mate ; and Dean, the clerk of Holdworth, before Alderman Finnis, and was formally charged with the offence. _ _ _______ Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Lloyd's Salvage Associa tion, conducted the prosecution, stated that, as he had an ticipated on the last occasion when he was before his lordship, the prisoner Holdsworth had been apprehended at Basle, in Switzerland, mainly through the instrumen tality of Mr. Pollaky, and conveyed to England by con stable Webb, of the City Detective Force. When the constable arrived in Switzerland, the prisoner Lionel Holdsworth was in custody of the police, and on Webb seeing him, he told him he held a warrant for his appre hension on a charge of being concerned in the scuttling of the ship Severn with intent to defraud. He did not attempt to question the legality of his capture, and the necessary forms having been gone through, ha was brought across the Channel last night, and as he had not been present when the former evidence was taken, it would be necessary to read it over in his presence. Captain Layland then entered the witness-box, and the whole of his evidence given previous to the apprehension was read over to the prisoner, the most important portion of it being that he (prisoner) gave the witness to under stand that the owners of the ship knew she was to be " potted." The ease was again remanded. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1866.

NEITHER PARENTS NOR HOME.— Jamas Ebbroy, 13, was charged before Mr. Knox with being found destitute (he being an orphan) in Oxford-street. Police-constable John Carman, 330 A, said that about two o'clock that morning he saw the boy walking up and down Oxford-street, and on asking him what he was doing out at that hour he said that his father and mother were both dead, and that ha had no home. In answer to Mr.,lCnox, the constable said that the boy had been seen about Oxfcrd-street two or three nights by the constable. Mr. Knox asked the boy whether what the constablehad stated was true. The boy said it was. He had neitherparents nor friends. Mr. Knox said the best thing he could do would be to send him to Feltham for three years. Henry Martin, another boy, was charged with begging. Sergeant Bunco, 5 0, saw the boy standing at the door of a confectioner's shop in Coventry-street yesterday evening, having two or three boxes of fusees in his hand, and begging of every person who went in or came out of the shop. He took the boy into custody, and from in quiries he made respecting the boy, ascertained that his mother had been dead some years, and that his father was about 72 years of age and very infirm. The boy had been in the workhouse two or three times with his father, but had escaped from them by means of the windows ; he had also behaved in rather a bad manner towards some of the workhouse officials, and was in the habit of sleeping on the door-steps when he could not get enough to p a y f or a lc dging. Mr. Knox said he would ,send the boy to Feltham as it would be the saving of him. The boy thanked the magistrate for sending him to school. The boy was sent to Path= for three years. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF /Wm—Frederick Bick nell, aged 28 years, was brought 'before Mr. Partridge, charged with unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to his shop and premises; and, secondly, with the same offence, with the intent to defraud the London and Liverpool and Globo Insurance Offices. Mr. Charles Young conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Stoddart defended the prisoner. This was a most extraordinary case. The prisoner is a foreman cooper in the St. Katherine's Dock, where ho has been employed 15 years, having entered the service of the company as an apprentice. He has also for some time kept a shop for the sale of crinolines, stays, vests, and other article; in Queen's-terrace, Commercial-road, near to the Stepney railway station. He effected an insurance for £4OO with the London and Liverpool and Globe Insurance offices on the 23rd of October, and it is exactly a month since he received the policy. A fire broke out on the pre mises while all the inmates were from home on the Wed nesday night, and there can be no doubt the place was wilfully set on fire. The stock on the premises was not worth £2O. Mr. James Griffin, inspector of the K division of the Metropolitan police, said—On Wonesday night at 12 o'clock I was called to a fire at No. 3. Queen's-terrace, Commercial-road. I found a police-constable keep ing the door. I entered the house with the fireman, and saw taken from the shop window board and floor those things. ,which I now produce, and all saturated with naphtha or paraffin. The inspector then spread before him three crinoline petticoats, a waistband, some glazed calico and two hoops, all saturated as he had described. He went on to state that a fire was at that time burning under the end of the counter the farthest from the street door. There were a lot of old rags, and umbrellas and papers under the counter which was formed of deal wood with light mahogany top. The counter was on fire, and it was trampled out by the firemen, and also kicked out. There was also a fire burning in the ceiling where the gas pendant was fixed, and two bed steads, bedding, and mattress stuffed with shavings were h pi le n h t of paraffi n o il. H e a l s o saw on fire in the. first floor fro n t room. He won t room in containing .£11,1600. saw ws a On his second visit to the thechafinrdeemlieenr. bring u in p to a bu th t e tle a fir w policy liuy a u s f i b u e a l u o r w auae it he h eu o nu u h he or his t o i est: wifelad notorefind that tm t h se uee removed policy, duiftan d .On a second visit to the the boards ua believed rda u f the t h a flu p i u floor. in the back bed room had been raised. It was saturated with naphtha. Dust, shavings, and rubbish under the board had also been saturated with the same inflammable substance. There was a large patch of oil or grease on the ceiling underneath. The inspector then produced some of the ceiling, and, by order o f the magistrate, ignited it. The plaster burnt well, and in every pos i t i on in w hi c h h e placed it, In answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, the Inspector said if the fine had not been discovered at an early period and quickly subdued, the house would have been con sumed. He apprehended the prison er i n t h e S t.

Mr. C. Young said he should ask for a remand to complete the case against the prisoner. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1551 per:cent.. and the price of gold 1421 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the iin portation of gold from the United States. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per .C 1 sterling. On tonxparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 12 a. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that goll is about the same price in Loud= aud.rario. Share Opening of the Roumanian Chambers. BUCHAREST, Nov. 27. The legislative session of the Roumanian Cham-- bers was opened at noon to-day by Prince Charles in person. His highness delivered the following speech in French ; the President of the Council re peating it subsequently in the Roumanian dialect : " Senators and Deputies,—l am happy to find myself in the midst of the national representatives. The Roumanian people has entrusted its regeneration to us, and upon the accomplishment of our mission with fidelity and devotion depends the fate of the country. Let both the Government and the legis lative bodies rise to the height of our duty and make ourselves worthy cf the lofty destiny Providence reserves us. The Roumanian State, established upon durable bases, May now look with confidence towards its future, secured against political fluctua tions abroad. Roumanians, be proud and jealous of that future which lies henceforth in your hands. Confided to your feelings, your thoughts, your pa triotic, it may become as great, as brilliant as we should wish, and as it may be rendered. For my own part, faithful to the tradition of my ancestors, you may be assured that I will use every effort worthily to fulfil my task. Nothing will be able to remove me from this course, and I feel inex tinguishable confidence that God will assist me, and will not refuse success to my efforts. The baud of Providence has never been more manifestly displayed in human destinies than during the course of the difficult circum stances through which we have passed within the last nine months. The constitution we possess is the work of the nation itself, and must be kept sacred and inviolable. The recognition of myself and dynasty by the Sublime Porte and the guaranteeing Powers has been raised to the height of a political event, and has been considered by all the European Cabinets as a gage of peace and security for the fu ture. Thanks to the intelligent prudence and the energetic perseverance which the Roumanian people have developed since 11th February, the new politi cal situation of Roumania has been recognised without any of the rights of the country being in jured. It has sufficed for me to exchange courtesies with the Sublime Porte, and to declare to his Impe• rial Majesty the Sultan my firm desire to respect his suzerainty upon the basis of our ancient treaties with the Ottoman empire. Roumaniains, who pos sess the sentiment of true patriotism, and who de sire that their young and vigorous nation should rise to the rank due to itamong other peoples, have greeted with joy my journey to Constantinople, in which they have seen the confirmation of their de sires and hopes. The happy solution imparted to difficulties abroad definitively secured our complete autonomy and our rights. The friendship and sup port of the Sublime Porte and of the guaranteeing Powers assure us that peace and perfect liberty is necessary to occupy ourselves with the domestic or ganisation of our country. I can assure you of the feelings of sympathy and interest experienced by the ' great Powers for our nation. More than ever are we able, in the difficult circumstances throughwhi ch we have still to pass, to reckon upon their support, which will never fail us so long as we wisely keep within the sphere of our rights and our legitimate desires. The foundations being solidly laid, nothing remains now but to raise the edifice commenced with so much vigour and success. To the task, Rouma nians ! To the task with probity and zeal ! For get those conflicts, those rivalries, which may com promise the security of the entire country for the gratification of private interests. Rally with confidence around me, and entertain no other wish than to extirpate prejudices and bad ha bits. Put in application the salutary principles of probity, morality, labour, and economy, which lead nations to civilisation, to wealth, and to strength. My Government, persuaded that the principal con dition of stability and progress is respect for the constitution and strict observance of the laws, asks the active support of all citizens in extirpating the vices so deeply rooted in the administration and in justice. It is only at this cost that we shall succeed in raising the prestige of authority, in introducing sincere and loyal respect for institutions, for well understood liberties, for legality, and for the rights of all. The drought that has threatened us with famine, and a cruel cholera epidemic—two terrible scourges—have descended upon our country and have cast desolation, discouragement, and anxiety i❑to the midst of families. I recommend, gentle men, to your solicitude the measures necessary to prevent the return of similar calamities. We hope in the public generosity, whim has given incon testable proofs of Christian charity during the past year. The fundamental principle, incumbent upon States as well as individuals, in the maintenance of engagements contracted. My government found itself from the very beginning face to face with burdensome contracts entered into by the preceding Government. It has taken pains to propose to you modifications that render them less onerous to the State. Nations should respect their contracts as much as possible, for it is only thus they can estab lish their credit and attract capital—a vital neces sity for the development of the national wealth. With a financial crisis like that through which we have passed, a crisis still further aggravated by two successive bad harvests, with a considerable floating debt, and with a budget it was not possible to balance, discredit had reached its height. Treasury bonds due, and overdue Government bills, could only be dis counted at a loss of 30 per cent. ; we were unable even to meet pressing necessities for the food of the soldiers and salaries of officials. These circumstances combined obliged my Government to have recourse to a loan upon hard but indispensable conditions — a loan the result of which was immediately to raise the public credit, and to bring into circulation the cash required for agricultural and commer cial transactions. In all branches of the administra tion my Ministers have endeavoured, by important reductions, to effect savings which will render the want of means less felt, and the next budget will be balanced without the march of affairs being impeded I for the purpose. Roumania has obtained a favour able position in the palace of the Universal Exhi bition. This participation, making known the pro ducts of the country, will secure new outlets to our agricultural industry. Notwithstanding our financial straits, and the expenditure into which we are drawn by such participation, we have thought it our duty to impose this sacrifice upon ourselves, and we must do everything in our:power to make a worthy appearance at this contest of labour and civilisation. Let us not deceive ourselves. We have to work hard in order to bring our affairs into the veritable path of progress. lam firmly convinced that, completely forgetting animosities and private passions, your deliberations will avoid fruitless discussion, and will be rich in results to our country. For my part you will always find me immovable in the path of duty. I shall fulfil with pride the mission entrusted to me, in order to bring about the greatness and develop ment of my country. Justly but unflinchingly I shall strike evil wherever I may encounter it. You will find in my Government secure assistance in all the decisions you may take for the veritable welfare of the country. Setting aside all feelings of ambi tion, let us have no other will than to labour un ceasingly at the progress and development of Rou mania. Gentlemen, the ordinary session of the legislative bodies for 1866 and 1867 is now opened." SANITARY STATE OF LIVERPOOL.—Mr. Alfred Taylor, C.E., recently held a Government inquiry into the sanitary state of LiYerpool. Yesterday, at the meeting of the Liverpool Health Committee, his report ivas read. He strongly recommended the establishment of suburban ma nure wharves to replace those now in the town, the con version of all privies into water-closets, and for that purpose and for the more complete flushing of the sewers the pro vision of a greatly increased supply of water.

This exclusive and artistocratic gathering was inaugu rated to-day under the worst possible auspices, rain falling, with but slight intermission, all the day, rendering the course and its approaches a perfect quagmire. The course is situated in the valley of the Trent, about nine miles from Derby and one from Castle Donington. It is a fair hunt ing country, but the bad weather had the effect of making the ground exceedingly holding, and at one time, when the rain was coming down in torrents, a postponement of the sports was mooted ; but the weather subsequently clearing up the whole of the races were brought off in good time. The various events require no description other than that appended : Tho Trout Bank Stakes of 5 sous each, for horses which have been and aro now regularly hunted ; 12st 71b each ; thorough breds 111 b extra ; wiunerg once 71b, twice 141 b extra; maidens at starting allowed 51b; gentlemen riders only ; about four miles.

Tom Moody headed Mr. Burton's horse, and, main taining the lead to the finish, won easily by a couple of lengths. Clifton Grove was placed a bad third. Marks man, who, after falling a second time at the brook, was not persevered with, did not pass the post. On returning to scale the Duke of Hamilton objected to Tom Moody and Fickle Joe on the ground of having gone on the wrong side of a flag, but the objection was overruled. A Pony Stake of 1 soy each, with 15 added, and 5 to the second, for ponies of all ag?s, up to 14 hands high ; lOst 71b each ; weight for inches below that height ; one mile.

Rosa jumped away in front, attended by Pretty Girl, Metty, Flower of Yarrow, Caller-Ou the Second, and Wasp, but they wore never able to reach the favourite, who made all the running at a rattling pace and won easily by four lengths from Flower of Yarrow, who took second place after going three quarters of a mile. Wasp was beaten three lengths for second place. Caller-Ou the Se cond was fourth, Metty fifth, Queen of Trumps sixth, Pretty Girl seventh, and Fire King last. Match: 50 sovs each, 10 ft.

Nonpareil cut out the work clear of Jack o' Trumps and Lady Melbourne to the brook, which the three got well over, but Queen of the Vale and Coleorton Lass came down and took no further part in the race. A couple of fences further on, Nonpareil refused, and the favourite was left with a slight advantage of Lady Melbourne to the fence leading to the piece of plough where Jack o' Trumps came down, and the horse went on riderless. Nonpareil, who was got over at the second attempt, now approached Lady Melbourne, and the pair led alternately to the fourth fence from home, where Lady Melbourne came down a buster, which contretemps let up Huntsman and The Miller, who closed with Non pareil, and the trio ran in a cluster till the last fence but one from home, when The Miller came down, and Non pareil quitting Huntsman, cantered in a winner by 10 lengths.

NEWMAEKE P. liarlock gave Lord Bre1,;1o;, — tIto three Toxophilito colts, and the Barbatus colt out of a West Australian mare, three smart canters ; and Peter Price galloped Re galia a mile and three-quarters, Chepstow a mile and a half, and Stradbroke about a mile, Barrington and the rest cantering. Mat Dawson set Julius, Avron, and Boinbastes to gallop a mile steadily, and they went uncommonly strong and free, the Flying Scud, Archimage, and Pericles also acquitting themselves well. From Gilbert's we had D'Estournel and Ravioli, and the first-mentioned galloped so beautifully that it is a great pity he is not in the Two Thousand, for he looks as if he was quite goo enough to be dangerous to the cracks therein. The Hermit showed early, and went a mile and a quarter with Knight of the Garter, Blinkhoolie, and Pedagogue; Thornby, Ring Charles, and Tempest being this morning restricted to gentle canters. The Dragon galloped about a mile first rate, a s didEnchanteur and Imperator; Trocadero,Longchamp, and Cerf Volanto trotting. The Rake had several brisk cautery, but did not gallop. Van Atuburgh, however, galloped a mile and a quarter, Friponnier leading him. Cecrops and Friday took Guy of Warwick, Numa Pompilius, Londes borough, Ettrick, and Cyclone briskly. Hippie had a nice mile and a quarter gallop with Janus, and Jasper followed Falkenstein a similar distance, also quietly. Amongst the other animals out we noticed Gladiateur, Vespasian, Mount Palatine, Vandervelde, Star of India, Argentel, Beauclerck, Assineboine, La Puce, The Miss Erskine colt, Apsley, Honesty, Highwood, Littleport, The Arrow colt, Jct. RICHMOND. Plaudit progresses most satisfactorily. He had a beau tiful mile and a quarter spin with Strathconan to-day; and is improving rapidly in appearance. Rose and New land also galloped over a mile. Fat Bob, as usual, did a mile and a half. Most of Lord Zetland's nags aro in physic. Proctor, Chelsea, and the colt out of Viridis's dam are getting on first rate. MALTON. Grand Cross, Taraban, the Wild Wind, and Knight of the Grove followed Knight of St. Michael in a steady mile and a quarter gallop over Grimston Hill this morning, and the youngsters went splendidly. Knight of the Crescent did a mile and a half. Soutleninster led the yearlings in their work, The Viscount in particular going on first class. Amazon and Rondinella again worked together ; and Skysail, Treasure Trove, Urania, Ploughboy, Queen Ellis, Little Treasure, Verity, Progress, Lady Zetland, Queen of York, Persuasion, Haymarket, &e., all did a fair amount. Tho Langton Wolds are very heavy jest now. STOCKBRIDGE. Vauban went a mile and a quarter this morning, and Distin about a mile, but Uncas only trotted and cantered, as did Red Riband, Caucasus, and Fairfield. The Duke galloped a mile and a half at a nice steady pace, and Black Prince, Lecturer, and Julia went a similar distance. On another portion of the downs Alfred Day had eleven work ing, Lochaber and Stolen Kisses being again amongst them. The Duke of Hamilton's steeplechasers were at strong exercise. The Police Perjury Case. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—As this case is about to enter upon a now phase, I beg that you will kindly allow me to lay before the pub lic, through your columns, a brief explanation in respect to it. After the serious insinuations cast upon my character by the defenders of the police, it may not be improper to state that I have been known as a ratepayer in the parish in which I now reside for about 20 years, and that I can refer with pride and satisfactio❑ to the antecedents of my family in the same neighbourhood for very nearly a cen tury. As to my connection with this case, it simply arose from the fact that one of the two lads accused of attempt ing burglary was in my employ, and I had known him for a considerable time and had confidence in his honesty. When I hoard of the char B-0 against him I took a good deal of trouble to ascertain the grounds for it, and the more I inquired the more satisfied I became that, whatever his other errors or follies might have been, he was perfectly guiltless of this offence. There appeared to be but ono course open to me then, and that was to defend and pro tect him. For three months I have laboured in this mat ter with the following results—the two lads have been acquitted; one of their false accusers has been convicted of perjury, after three days' patient investigation ; the other policeman was acquitted, owing to the sudden and unex pected production of evidence which at the subsequent trial was held to be worthless. In carrying this case to its present stage I have ren dered myself liable for legal expenses to the extent of £250. Towards this the county has contributed £lO, and a few friends £l5 ; leaving me still responsible for a ba lance amounting to £165. Those who approve what I have done will, perhaps, deem it a duty to contribute towards meeting the deficiency. —Your obedient servant., JOHN IVORY. 53, College-place, Camden-town, Dac. 7, 1866.
