In the general discount market there continues to be a fair inquiry for accommodation, and the rates current remain at 1 2 per cent. The Panama h a s a rr i v ed f rom th e Wrest Indies with about £35,000 ; the Guienne, from Brazil, has also arrived at St. Nazaire, but the amount of specie is not yet known. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have risen to 9 2 23, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds are steady at 18 in. The New Honduras Loan is steady, at 1-1- to 13 prem. At the meeting to-day of the Bombay Gas Corn- Pliny an interim dividend was proposed at the rate of 5 per cent. From the manufacturing districts the . accounts received this morning state that during the past Week inactivity has prevailed in most departments of trade. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have further declined. Spinners and manufacturers, how ever, do not press sales. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, there has been little change of importance, and quietness has pre vailed in all departments. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have been more animated, while in the hardware dis tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp ton there has been a seasonable inquiry for articles suitable for home requirements at this period of the Year. Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. have given notice that the Coupons of the Chaim Seven per Cent. Loan 1866 (£1,120,920), due Ist proximo, and the bonds drawn for redemption, also the Coupons of the Chilian Six per Cent. Loan 1867 (£2,000,000), I st January, 1868, will be paid at their offices on and after Ist January next. Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co., of Leadenhall- Street, have announced the half-yearly interest due ell the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad First Mortgage Construction Bonds, pay able in sterling in London on and after Ist January next. At the meeting held to-day of the Indian Tram- W ay Company (Limited) the report of directors stated that, while showing the grounds for deferring the extension of the line for the present, the Go vernment look forward to its future construc tion, and have granted, in the meantime, a dividend of three per cent. upon the capi tal of £lOO,OOO, to commence on lat January next. The directors have made arrangements, to take effect from the same date, to diminish all the ex penses at home and abroad to a minimum, by which rnsans they hope that the net profits, which have been gradually increasing since the line was opened in " .1-l aY, 1865, may contribute to relieve the Go thrnment in part fro m th e p a y men t un d er ° guarantee. The directors propose to have t he accounts made up to the end of the present Year, to coincide with the date of the commence tient of the 3 per cent. guarantee, and to pay the shareholders interest at 3 per cent. per annum to that date, from the 31st December, 1865 (up to which they last received interest), in stock, the net revenue having been all expended upon th e line and works. The capital account, after Payinent of all charges and liabilities, including the above, will amount to £lOO,OOO, while the balance °f revenue account, after supplying a sum to make 11 P the foregoing payments of interest, &c., will a mount to £1,314 145., which will be carried to a reserve fund to provide against accidents, fires, and °ther contingencies.

At this morning's corn market there was a mo derate attendance, and the fresh arrivals of home grown wheat on offer were small, and iu iudiffe rent condition ; holders, however, made no con c,3Bloll, and demanded f u lly f ormer ra t es .

R a t es to t h e editerraneau have remained off and on the same h a s l ast week, but coal freights to London have been i Sher on account of the scarcity of ready ships. Messrs. H. P.

MuN i.UY EvENJNG, DECEMBER 10, .1,3137. THE GREAT CHRISTMAS CATTLE 11AEKLT. appear, we regret to say, to have become quite out of fashion in the metropolis. Some thirty years since, they produced quite as much money as Soots, although the supplies were large. The Sussex breed was well repre sented, but the number brought forward was only mode rate. The great success of this breed in the show yard led some persons to anticipate a considerable increase in the number brought forward to-day. Quite an average supply of beasts came to hand from Scotland for the time of the year. Without exception, both the pure and cross-bred animals were in splendid condition. As such, they were taken off somewhat freely, but at prices which did not appear to satisfy the graziers. There were a few good beasts from Ireland ; but the aggregate supply in this respect was inferior. It is satisfactory to state that the mongrel broods wore less numerous than usual on the "great day." The following return shows the number of boasts exhi bited, and the prices realised for them on the great day during the last 26 years : Beasts shown- Prices. 1841 1842 1813 1844 1845 1846 1847 1848 1819 1850 1851 1852 1853 1851 1855 1856 1857 1858 189 1860 1861 1862 1863 10,370 1864 1865 1866 We now procoed to particulariso tho best portions o his great market. At Mr. George Drillson's stand there was a large col lection of very prime Scots and crosses forwarded direct from Scotland. The best lots were the property of Messrs. Martin, Knowles, Wishart, Skinner, Reid, Mitchell, Frost, Biddle, Bruce, and other graziers of Aberdeenshire. Also some very fine lots from Messrs. Longmore, and Mr. Stodart of Banffshire. Messrs. Maidwell and noyland had an excellent show of beasts chiefly belonging to Mr. J. Reid, of the Vale of Alford, and Messrs. Morrison, Wallace, and Strachan, of Tarriff. There were also ,some prime stock bred by R. Bond, Esq., and other graziers. At / Mr. Vorley's stand we noticed a fine collection of beasts from various parts of the country. Mr. Hicks had likewise a fine show. Mr. Thomas Dixon had some very fine Norfolk and Lincolnshire beasts, belonging to Messrs. Fletcher, Capon, Miller, ke. Other salesmen had some very fine lots, among which were some wonderful animals, the property of Mr. M-Oom bie, of Tillyfour, Aberdeen. One of the cows exhibited in the show yard was broug forward. Taken as a whole, the supply of beaFts was remarkably fine, and certainly in excess of last year as to number. With hemp the market was but moderately supplied, whilst the general quality of tho long-wools was not equal to last year. Mr. Gland had a good show of Lincolns belonging to Mr. Healey of Croft, and Mr. Caswell of Rointon. Mr. Wallby exhibited some very good Downs and lislf brods, chiefly belonging to the Earl of Salisbury. There were, also, some very fine Down lambs, the property of that nobleman. Mr. Dodd exhibited some fine sheep, belonging to various graziers. Mr. Lintott, Mr. Weal], Mr. Garrior, Mr. Corfu, Mr. Startloy, and Mr. 0. Burrell, had some very fine sheep on offer. STATE OF THE MARKET. The arrivals of English beasts being large, and the wea ther being unfavourable for slaughtering, the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, nevertheless, compared with Mon day last, _no quotable change took place in prices. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per glb. The arrivals of beasts from Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire wore about 2,800 short-horns, &c. ; from Norfolk Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 2,000 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 vari ous breeds; from Scotland, 1,320 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 650 oxen, cows, &c. Really prime Down and half-bred sheep were in fair request, at full prices; but all other breeds wore very dull, at slightly depressed currencies. The top figure was 5s per 81b. Calves—the show of which was limited —moved off slowly, at late ratos, viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b. There was a moderato sale for prime small pigs, at last week's prices. Large pigs, however, were very dull. Tho highest figure was 4s 2d per 81b. Per 81bs. to sink the offal.

At the country markets held on Saturday there were only moderate supplies of wheat on offer, and generally in but poor condition. In most instances, selected runs sold at is per quarter advance, and there was a fair sale for the more inferior qualities. Barley and other produce also fetched full values. On the Continent, the markets have ruled steady, at about late rates. Tha latest postal advices from America report less animation in the trade, and a drooping tendency in prices. The stock was on the increase. Last week's imports of foreign and colonial produce into Loudon were as follow :—wheat, 54,684 qrs ; barley, 10,038; oats, 61,707; beans, 75; peas, 7,742; taros, 2,375; lin seed, 3,405; rapeseed, 8,995 ; maize, 229 ; bundry seeds, 197 ; flour, 309 sacks and 56,876 brls. Tho receipts of English wheat fresh up to our market t oday, coastwise and by land carriage, were limited and in very middling condition. Although the demand was by no moans active, most of the stands were cleared at prices equal to Monday last. The show of foreign wheat was on the increase. Sides were somewhat restricted ; nevertheless, late rates were supported. A large portion of the late arrivals has been landed in warehouse. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion. malting barley m9Yt,cl Qff freely, et 97LttalAilr9 cur- The ;past season having boon very favourable for the production of live stock in all parts of the United King dom, and the cattle disease having ceased to commit its ravages, there was a wonderfully fine and even collection of beasts for Christmas consumption here to-day. All breeds were fully represented, but it is somewhat curious to note the changes in this market during the .last few years. Formerly Smithfield was almost wholly supplied with pure breeds, whether producA in England.or Scot land. Now, however, those breeds have given way to crcsses, many very good, but some doubtful as regards real stamina. The rapidity with which crosses almost generally are brought to heavy weights, and the strong prices realised for them, have in a measure completely changed the character of this market. The shorthorns have now spread themselves over nearly lhe whole of England for• crossing purposes, and throughout Scotland . . there are very few pure breeds left. The extent of future crossings will depend upon price. At present the bree 'era and feeders are unanimous upon one point, viz„ that cross breds pay more than pure breeds. The number of shorthorns and crosses have this morning represonted more than a moiety of the total supply. As regards numerical strength and prime quality, the Herefords came next, and not a few of them were of great weight. The number of DeVOl23 shown was equal to last year, and a finer lot of animals from the west of England has been seldom witnessed in this market. Of Welsh breeds the show was small ; they SHARE LlsT.—This Day. Railways. rAid itirrSt Uradonian 73 - 1 - Erfj 751 75f 2t) 39 ;a in briall 20 st st 100 ;Jrk no d :on' wail . & Belta2t. J lute.

After the grand jury had been sworn, The Recorder, in addressing them, stated that although the calendar, which consisted of about 70 prisoners, looked comparatively light, yet he was sorry to say that there were rome serious cases to be tried. There were three cases of murder wh. aicil would occupy their attention, and which occurred under pecti liar circumstanc 26. one serious case which would now be brought before thc:n was that of the accusation against a man named Edgelcy, as being concerned in the forgeries on the Leeds Bank. The trial had been deferred in order to procure the evidence of Mr. Greenland, who had been the manager of the Leeds Bank, but it would now in all probability come on for trial. There were numerous: other cases of stealing and assault, and one peculiar ease of rape. He had no doubt that the gentlemen of the grand jury, in investigating into the nature of the evidence affecting the various prisoners, would use their usual discrimination, and supply them with true bills as soon as possible.

On Saturday the sixth anniversary of the death of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort was observed with becoming solemnity at Windsor Castle, and in the course of the morning her Majesty and the different members of the royal family paid a visit to the mausoleum in the grounds of Frogmore House, and placed wreaths of immor (cites upon the Prince's tomb. After the Queen's visit the domestics attached to the royal establishment, the clergy of Windsor, and a number of her Majesty's tradesmen, were Lis° permitted to visit the mausoleum, and between the hours of twelve and a quarter to four o'clock a large number of people availed themselves of the opportunity of inspecting the building, which was decorated with ever greens and choice exotics. The arrangements were under the control of Mr. Inspector Baker, who, with several of tho royal household police, performed a most difficult task with much courtesy, none being allowed to enter without an order. The Prince's body lies in a temporary sarco phagus, although the beautiful tomb hewn expressly after much labour, from a splendid block of Scotch granite, arrived at Frogmore at least two years ago. Upon this Baron Marochetti's recumbent figure of the Prince Consort is to be placed when the granite sar cophagus occupies its proper position in the central chamber. The mausoleum will prove a costly structure when finished, its erection having extended over a period of nearly six years, the works having bean begun within four months of the Prince's death, on the 14th of De cember, 1861.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—Thie Day. MARLBORGUGII-STREET. A MAN CII ARG ED WITH FOUR VIOLENT ASSAULTS.—THE WAY TO CHECK STREET OUT RAGES.—Thomas Kelley, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a man named John Keefe, and police-constable Gordon, 33 C, Cane, 35 C, and Goseltine, 47 C. On the case being called on Keefe was not in attendance. Goseltiue said—About 10 o'clock on Saturday night I was in Little Pulteney-street, when I saw the prisoner making a great disturbance and want ing to fight everybody he came near. I got him away two or three times, and on his returning again, I asked him to go away, and on his refusing I took him into custody. Ho went quietly a little way when he becarnevery violent, kicked me several times, and it took five of us to take him to the station, and on the way he assaulted some of the other con stables. Gordon said—About 12 o'clock on Saturday, while in Little Pulteney-street, 1 saw the prisoner strike a female and others, and a man named Keefe gave the prisoner into custody for assaulting him ; and on the last witness taking him into custody, ho became very violent, kicking him and everybody near, being upon the ground at the time. Knowing the prisoner, I told the last witness and another constable, who was assisting him, to let the prisoner walk if be would do so, and as soon as the prisoner got up he gave me a blow be tween the eyes and kicked me,. lie then seized my coat with his teeth, no doubt thinking he was biting my wrist, and I had to strike him with my umbrella, I being in plain clothes at the time, to make him release his hold. On the way to the station he be haved with the greatest violence, being more like a cannibal than a Christian. Cane said—Seeing the prisoner kicking the wit nesses, I went to their assistance, when the prisoner struck me a violent blow on the chest, and then kicked me. After going a portion of the way to the station he refused to walk any further, and we had to carry him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the prisoner drunk ? Gordon--He had been drinking, but knew what he was about. The prisoner —I've nothing to say. It's no use saying anything. I was drunk. Mr. 'fyrwhitt —For the assault ou Gordon you will go to prison for a month without a fine, and for each of the other assaults you will have to pay 403. or a month. It is quite necessary to check the vio lence which at the present time is floating about. W ESTMINSTE R. SINGULAR CASE OF FELONY.—William Ranson, a respectable-looking youth of 17, was charged with stealing a half-ounco weight. Mr. Kenuan llamburgh, tobacconist, of 41, Great Smith-street, 'Westminster, said that at half past 12 yesterday morning, he saw the prisoner enter jhis shop and put something on the counter. He asked for a quarter of an ounce of tobacco. The scales were swinging as though they had been pushed, and prosecutor missed from them the half-ounce weight, which ho had just before been using. He asked prisoner if he had seen it, and he declared he had not. He gave prisoner into custody, and he was taken to the station, where he was searched, but no weight was found, and prosecutor withdrew the charge. At five minutes past one, on returning to his shop, a boy named Debus brought the missing weight into the shop, and said the prisoner, who had sent him with it, was over the way. Prosecutor went out, when prisoner took to his heels, and en being captured explained how he had evaded the search for the weight at the station, and had after that de termined to restore it. Mr. Arnold—What is known of the boy ? the Father-.--I am a hard-working man, but I can't get this boy to be industrious as I am. I wish your worship would get him to sea —that would be the best thing for him. Mr. Arnold—Has he ever been dishonest before? The Father—Never ; never took a farthing of any one that I heard of. lie has never been in trouble of any sort before, but he won't work, and had better go to sea. Prisoner was remanded for a week, to see whether a ship can be provided for him. THANIES. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.- William Ford, a disreputable blackguard, a ship wright, lately dwelling in Bright-street, Bromley, was brought up, on remand, bafore Mr. Benson, charged with savagely assaulting Henry Cummins, a police-constable, No. 347 K, who has been con fined to his room since the injury inflicted upon him by the prisoner. He was in such a precarious condition when the prisoner was first brought be fore the magistrate that Mr. Paget went to his dwelling and received his deposition in his own room. The constable, why has partially recovered, now stated that on the night of the sth instant the pri soner came to him in Bright-street, Broinley, and accused him with stealing his cap. The prisoner was very drunk. Ho told him he knew nothing about his cap, and that if he had lost it he would assist him in looking for it. He did so, and the prisoner began to make a noise. He persuaded the prisoner to go home, and took him to a house, whore he said he lived. On reaching the house the prisoner said he did not live there, and was very disorderly and noisy. He said to the prisoner, "If you don't go away I will take you to the station house." The prisoner said he would fight him. He took hold of the prisoner to convey him to the station-house, and they struggled and fell. The prisoner was undermost. He was getting up, and the prisoner raised his foot and save him a tremen dous kick on the lower part of his person, which took his breath away, and disabled him. He had been, very ill ever since. He had been suffering great pain. Mr. Matthew Brownfield, divisional surgeon of police, of the East India Dock-road, said he had been in attendance on the disabled constable, who had received a severe and very peculiar injury. In answer to Mr. Benson, the witness said that the constable was getting better and would be able to return to his duty very shortly. The prisoner, in defence, said that he was drunk when the affray occurred. lie knew nothing of it. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had committed a very ferocious and wanton assault on the police constable, who was doing his duty temperately and firmly. He was glad to hear the constable was getting better, and thought he should be jus tified in disposing of the case summarily and in dicting upon the prisoner a sentence of two mouths imprisonment and hard labour.

(The following appeared in latest edition of Satan day evening):_ The three prisoners charged with being le a I . p 1, cated in the diabolical outrage last night at the House of Detention were brought to Bow -street Police-court at four o'clock this afternoon, under a very strong es:ort of mounted polir..le. As soon as the well-known prisoners' van arrived at the door of the Police Court the mounted police formed a circle around it, and this was no sooner done than a large number of constables who had been on duty at the court during the whole of the day formed an inner guard in line on either side of the door, and thus the prisoners as they stepped from the van passed, through it, and were conveyed to the cells of the court without the slightest difficulty. The crowd collected in front of the court was much larger than that assembled in the earlier part of the day. f On being placed in the dock, the prisoners gave the names of Timothy Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, and Ann Justice, and the charge preferred against them was with being concerned with others not in custody with the wilful murder of Sarah Hodgkin son, aged 35, William Clutton, 55, and a girl, named Minnie Abbott, aged 8 years, by wilfully and maliciously firing an explosive substance sup posed to be gunpowder, at Corporation-lane, Clerkenwell. Superintendent Gernon, G division, charged the prisoners. The first.witness examined was— John Moore, the chief warder of the House of Detention, who said—Yesterday, betweJn the hours of 2 and 3, my attention was called by a police constable to the fact of a man loitering outside the prison and refusing to go away. He was joined by a female named Justice. Sir T. Henry—Did you know that name, or was it told you ? Witness—l found it out through the visiting book, as she had visited the prisoner Casey. Examination continued—l saw the man Allen loitering about. They were all reconnoitreing the prison. My attention was also directed to seeing the prisoner Allen on the top of one of the adjoin ing houses. He came down, and then I saw him talking to five or six other men. I then went to inform the governor of the suspicious circum stances, and whilst I was doing so the explosion took place. The warders went to the stores where the arms were kept, and having supplied them selves, rushed to the spot from where the alarm came, and it was found that from 50 to 60 feet of the prison wall had been blown down. Ambrose Sutton, 273 A, Reserve Division, said —I had been employed watching the outside of the House of Detention since Burke and Casey have been confined. At 20 minutes to 4 I saw the female and Allen near St. James's-walk. The woman had been in the House of Detention at 1 o'clock, and the man was waiting outside at the time. When the female prismer came out she found the prisoner Allen, and remained talking with him for some time. After that the prisoner Desmond came up and en tered into conversation with them for over twenty minutes. At the expiration of that time a fourth person came up, and when they were parting the man who arrived the latest by accident pushed against me, and thus I had an opportunity of seeing him. Ile having begged my pardon, asked we a trifling question, to which I replied I was a stranger in the place. With that he walked on. After they had been again in conver sation I saw Desmond go towards St. James's-walk. I was directed to watch Desmond, which I did, and saw him go down Corporation-lane, and shortly after that I saw him drawing a truck with a barrel, which he put on the pavement. I followed him up St. James's-walk, where he stopped in the midlle for a minute or two and then went on. Afterwards I heard a tremendous explosion, and then saw Allen and the woman running al% ay very fast. As she approached I took hold of her, and another officer secured the man. I told her I should take her for being concerned with others in causing the explosion. Whilst I had her in custody I saw Des mond running round the prison wall, and as be was passing I caught hold of him with my left hand, which was up to that time disengaged. I then called upon the passers-by for help. Sir Thomas Ilenry—You had both Desmond aud Justice then in your custody. Witness—Yes ; one in each hand. Sir T. Henry—You, of cjurse, obtained instant assistance. Witness—Yes. Desmond—Will you swear I ever left the public house for more than two minutes ? Witness—Yes. Desmond—Then you perjure yourself. Sir T. Henry—You must not make such otser vations. You can put questions to any of the wit nesses, but you must not impute perjury. Have you any questions to put, Allen ? Allen—All I have to say is that I was assisting Desmond, who was intoxicated when I first saw him at the public-house. Justice—l deny that I ever ran with Allen. Allen—lt was enough to-make any person run— such an explosion. Sir T. Henry (to Sutton)—Where did you see the barrel? Witness—l saw it on the pavement of Corpora tion-lane, near where the explosion took place. The report followed this circumstance in about ten minutes. Superintendent G3rnon said at that poiut he should have to trli fora remand. Sir T. Henry at once acceded to the request, and the prisoners were removed from the dock.
