The payment of the dividends at the Bank of England being now in progress increased ease is experienced in the discount market, where there is a superabundance of capital unemployed. Under these circumstances it is unnecessary to state that the rates charged for accommodation are almost nominal. Gold amounting to £24,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 241 251, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 21 22. The difficulties of a firm engaged in the cotton trade, at Liverpool, have been freely discussed the last few days. It is now feared that the arrange ments attempted to be made for supporting the house have failed. The name of the firm is Colin Campbell and Son, and it is stated that the liabili ties will reach from £400,000 to £500,000. The following, on the affairs of Messrs. Dent and Co., of China, is from the London and China Telegraph :-" The first arrangement attempted in the matter of Messrs. Dent and Co.'s failure for a composition of 2s. 6d. in the pound having been found to be invalid, another meeting of creditors was convened on the 4th inst., at which it was pro posed that a deed of assignment should be executed • of all their estate for the benefit of the creditors. As such a deed can only be executed in China, the creditors in this country will be under the necessity of sending out powers of attorney to their agents there to sign it on their behalf. Should the bulk of the creditors agree to carry out this plan, the bank ruptcy will be annulled. Mr. Pollard, who has lately arrived from Hongkong, attended the meet ing on behalf of the bankrupts." The following are the prices obtained at the public sales at the open Stock Exchange this day : - Langham Hotel (fully paid) Eight per Cont.

Alexander, Collier, and Co. telegraph as follows : -There is little change in our market since Tues day. Quotations are irregular, and the tendency still downwards. Some rather larger orders, how ever, have been placed for India and China for prompt delivery, but they are insufficient to steady the market. Calcutta telegram of 9th reports leas activity in piece goods, but prices unaltered. From Shanghai, under date 16th September, 61 catty shirtings are reported at 2 taels, 60 same as on sth. During the past week the specie movement has been on a very limited scale. The imports have amounted to about £673,224-including £44,60/ from New York, by the Deutschland ; £5OO by the City of Paris, £6OO by the Russia, and £7,880 by the Arago. The Moravian, from Melbourne, has brought £204,000 ; the Ceylon, froin Alexandria, £430; and about £15,214 in silver has been re ceived from the Continent. The exports have been £50,000 to the Brazils, by the Shannon ; £30,000 to the Cape of Good Hope, by the Colt ; and there h ave b een remittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at £155,176: the total amounting to £235,176. At Paris thi s morn i ng Two O'CLOCK. , according to Reuter's telegram, tho Fren c h Rentcs were 68f. 170. Very fiat. Uneasiness. Quotations in the English Stock Market remain unchanged, very few dealings have taken place, and dulness prevails to an unusual extent even for a Saturday, when business is generally more con tracted than on other days. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 924 I ; Exchequer Bills 20s. to 30s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1144 ; and ditto Bonds, 655. preen. A fair amount of business has been transacted in Foreign Stocks. Italian have advanced 4, to 454 40 + ; Mexican, 4, to 15 4 ; Spanish Passive, 4, to 19 4 4 ; Certificates, -4, to 164 4 ; Greek remain firm at 134 14 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents. at 314 4.

ITALIAN OPERA.--The new tenor Mongini proves to be an old friend, since he sang in Paris some ten or twelve years past with some success, and during his long absence from our boards his fame has been increasing, slowly and surely as that of Marcellus, in those ruder climes where people prefer the lion's part, as it is nothing but roaring. Railway en gineers can make their engines rush about with lightning speed, but they are puzzled to contro them ; an effectual break is the great difficulty with them as with Mongini, for when he lets loose his lungs and opens the floodgates of his voice there is no holding them. And this voice is powerful! rather than pleasing ; it lacks the impassioned ten derness so essential to a tenor; it ranges from Tamberlick's ut diese, which he fires off with great effect with his other big guns and rockets in the pyrotechnic " Pira," down to the very confines of the basso. It would be desirable for him to leave his brazen helm in the coulisses, for the Parisians have been so accustomed to see Mangin in his brass helmet that they detect a family likeness to him in Mongini. Mlle. Krauss's Leonora and Mlle. Grossi's Azucena were admirable. They had to struggle against our reminiscences of Grisi and Al boni, and they prevailed. Poor Cresci had to struggle against his obesity, but he did not prevail. It is unfortunate for one who looks so very like a whale to sing "Il balen." The success of the " Trovatore " was complete, and must convince the Impressario of the possibility of disp ens i ng with Mlle. Patti when harsh necessity imposes the privation. This, however, will cease to exist shortly, for the versatile Prima Donna is studying the roles of Leonora and Desdemona. We shall be curious to see how Pasquale's Norina will acquit herself in " Otello" and the " Trovatore." May we be permitted to hope that no mischievous consellors will suggest her to deck her brows with the chaplet of Bellini's Druidess. MENUS PLAISIRS.—There are but few amongst us who ever expected to find themselves in this transpontine playhouse which shoulders the Sor bonne and the Cluny Museum, yet its walls now fail to contain, scarcely to keep out, the crowd which flocks to see Anthony. Still fewer are there amongst us who fought their way to the Porte-St.- Martin in 1831 to greet Antony on his first appearance, yet those few do not forget Mme. Dorval's " Je suis une femme perdue," or her still finer " Vous voyez ctte femme, c'est sa maitresse ;" or when her injured husband burst open the door and Bocage drew the poignard from her breast —" Elle m a rcisiste, je l'ai assassinde." In those days there were giants on the earth. Is it that we grow older or become blasé, or how is it that the actors tear their passions to tatters without moving us, leaving us high and dry upon the beach gaping like oysters when the tide goes down ? Who shall ever forget that memorable evening when Alexandre Dumas came forth into the foyer in green coat, of the very cut of those curious fossil garments which you may see on the backs of Count Mole and M. Dupin in the great picture at Versailles, where Louis Philippe sits amidst his counsellors. And the public ovation was vented in a form most disagreeable to him, since his enthusiastic admirers tore his coat to shreds that they might possess a souvenir of the author of Antony. Many lustres have shed their light upon Dumas' head since those days, yet there he sat again in his loge, and was again ready with bis tears when Mlle. Duverger handed into his baignoire a huge bouquet, the floral tribute of a venerable Muscovite's appreciation of her rare abilities. For Mlle. Duverger has here proved herself to be a great artist ; simple, yet sublime, in the sublime passages of the play, and they are neither few nor far between, and with the good taste which is inherent to a Parisienne she left in their ecrins those gems which have so often dazzled us. La we might have thought exc e ll ent ferriere's Antony had he not been preceded by Bocage. The theatre is crowded nightly. Age has not impaired Ro&ini'sgallantry. He has presented a corbeille to Mdlle. Marie Battu, filled with choice flowers, and enhanced the value of the gracious gift by being his own commissionaire on the occasion. "The Grande Duchesse of Gerolstein" is about to abdicate in favour of Madame Tautin, after a reign of unparalleled brilliancy. Madame Schnei der's absence will not be eternal as her charms ; however, we may hope to see her return shortly to the Varietes, where she has so long reigned supreme, for she is already on very bad terms with the manager of the Chatelet, and inflicted a severe scoldiug upon him three days past be cause he was absent at the last rehearsal of " Gulliver." She wrote that "une artiste de sa valeur, was entitled to more respect. If Mme. Schneider be bent on teaching theatrical managers good man ners, she has a difficult task before her ; for these petty tyrants, dressed in their little brief authority, see stage kings and princesses bow befor them, and bring themselves to believe in their right divine to govern wrong. The " Jolie Fille de Perth" was announced at the Lyrique for Wednesday last. On driving up to the theatre through the plunging rain, we found that M. Carvalho bad again fooled his public. The affiche coolly. announced that the Fair Maid of Perth wuuld not be played. He has just substi tuted Massy for Michot in Romeo's role, but no protest will be raised against this change, for the new Lyrique tenor sings his duet with Mme. Car- vallio with more than Michot's sweetness, and with m uch more feeling. M. de Lesseps states that the new Suez Canal loan has boon subscribed, and that the water route to India will be completed in 1870. A PLANTATION PREACHER.—The Bishop of Tennessee is reported to have told the following story at the recent Church Congress. Ho said I was visiting a plantation, and the bell was rung, when the negroes, num bering some 500, gathered in the parlours and piazza of tho house, belonging, unfortunately for himself, to a bachelor. After reading a chapter to them I preached, and said that I would hold a service the next day to baptize such as should be presented. I baptized between 70 and 80, and after a service I fell into a conversation with 'Uncle Toney,' a plantation preacher. I asked him about various Christian doctrines, and finally sail, ' And what about the resurrec tion ?' With a very solemn face he replied, You see, master, ointment is ointment." Yes." Well, you see, dere is a speritual body, and dis here body made out of dos'.' Yes.' Well, you see, when do angel Gabriel comes down from heaben, and goin' up and down tha riber Jor dan, a-blowin' of his trumpet and de birds of heaben singin', and do bells of heaben ringin', and de milk and do honey rainen down on all do hills of heaben, ho will bring do speritual body wid him down from hoaben, and tako dis hero body up out of do dus', and tak the ointment and rub it on, den stick togedder—and dare (ley is.'" LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF THE METROPOLIS.--Tile Ilome Secretary having fixed the sth of November to re ceive a deputation on this important question, it has been resolved by the Metropolitan Municipal Association to hold a conference of vestrymen of London, to consider the bills introduced by Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., in the Vestry-hall of St. James's, Westminster, on Monday, the 4th of Novem ber, the vestry haying kindly granted the use of the hall for that object. rHE SUN, LON DON, SATURDAY EVENING, ocroßEit 12, 1867. sir s Day.

The Fen . an Assassination in Bloomsbury During the interval that has already elapsed since the last examination of Groves at the Bow-street Police-court the police, under the direction of Superintendent Searle and Inspector Thompson, have been unceasing in their endeavours to discover the second man who was in company with the villain that fired the shot which caused M'Dounell's death. Every spot at which it has been thought likely anything relative in the slightest degree to the assassination bad been visited, and certain facts have been elicited that it is hoped will in the end lead to the discovery of the actual murderer. The most important fact that has occurred in the discovery of the police, not very far from the corner of Vernon-place, of a large beard and moustache, which corresponds exactly with the description given by all the persons who were enabled to speak of the personal appear ance of one of the men who followed i\l'Donnell on the night of the murder. The false beard, which is of a light flaxen colour, and five or six inches long, is in the possession of Inspector Thompson, and steps will be immediately taken to procure, if possible, information as to the place at which it was purchased. It is intended imme diately to advertise a minute description of the article, and to call upon the hairdressers and perfumers of the metropolis to forward a descrip tion of the person who might have purchased such an article. The police have also watched for the last few days several public houses known to be frequented by members of the Fenian brotherhood, but beyond taking note of the personal appearance of some of these visitors and quietly discovering their place of residence, nothing has yet been dis covered beyond the fact we have above announced. Groves, since his last examination, has regained much confidence, and to all who have visited him since he has been in the House of Detention he strongly denies any participation in the assassina tion of M.Wonnell. A7TEMPTED MURDER OF A TOLICEMAN LOUD WA7ER. Yesterday morning the inhabitants of the quiet Buckinghamshire village of Loudwater were thrown into a state of considerable excitement by a das tardly attempt at murder committed about eight o'clock. From inquiries upon the spot it has been ascertained that a police-constable named, it is understood, Deacon, keeper of the lock-up at Wycombe, in pursuit of a man whose apprehen sion was desired, left the latter place by the 8 5 a.m. train, and arrived at the Loudwater station of the Aylesbury branch of the Great Western Railway at 812 a.m. The constable was in plain clothes, and while the train was stopping at the station, chanc ing to look out of the carriage window he saw the man he was in quest of walking upon the plat form. Mr. Rimes, the station-master, had just issued a Victoria-station ticket to the man in ques tion, who, on being recognised by the constable, turned to leave, and was accompanied by the latter. As the man went out of the wicket he gave up his Victoria ticket to George Rimes, the son of the station-master. When the two got outside into the station-yard the man ran away, but was overtaken near a long wall attached to the village post-office, in the occupation of Mr. Saunders, who at the time of the occurrence was sitting at breakfast with his wife. While looking through the window he saw two men, as he thought, wrestling with each other, and as they seemed both to be respectable he did not interfere. Presently he saw one of them draw a knife and stab the other, and on going to the door to render assistance both men ran past him. It seems that when the constable attempted to arrest the man upon his overtaking him the latter stabbed him several times, wounding him on the arm and various parts of the body. Weakened by the extreme hastnorrhage the constable was easily thrown, and then his assailant made off as quickly as possible. The constable attempted to follow, but was un able, and eventually stopped, bleeding and faint, near the Happy Union inn, the landlord of which, Mr. Partridge, with other assistance, got him into a cart. Mr. Partridge then drove the wounded man to Wycombe, about three miles distant, where the injuries iwere attended to by Mr. Turner, a sur geon, and where Deacon lies in a most dangerous condition. In the meantime, William Partridge, a boy of about 15 years of age, the son of the land lord Union, mounted a pony, and wentor after the th ilap em p i y sereant and gave inform a tion to l the police at Wooburn-green and Beaconsfield. As the boy on his return came out of Beaconsfidld he met the man who had attempted to murder the con stable, and who regarded him somewhat curiously. He disappeared soon afterwards over some railings, and the boy went and told the. Thaconstield police of the circumstance. The man was eventually run down and captured in the morning, and taken first to Wycombe, and in the evening to Aylesbury. It appears that the constable wanted him for a rob bery which he had committed at a publichouse in Wycombe, where he had been. staying, and where he had stolen a watch and some money.

TIIII PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—The session stands prorogued from the 21st of August to the 6th of November. Before that day the new Act to simplify the forms of prorogation during the recess will be put into force. The preamble states that it is desirable to simplify the form, and her Majesty is by the statute empowered to issue a Royal proclamation for i,ho further prorogation, which is to be deemed a sufficient notice to all parties of the time and place notwithstanding any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. The Act is not to bo applied to a pr9roptivn M the cl9§o of 1# so Kiwi. THE CONDEMNED CONVIC2S WIGGINS The exertions that have been made to procure a commutation of the sentence of death in the case of Wiggins have been fruitless, at least up to a late hour this afternoon. No instructions have yet reached any of the officials at the Home-office that the Secretary of State for the Home Department will interfere to prevent the sentence of the law being carried into effect in both cases as originally axed, on the 15th. TAEFENIAN OUTRAGEAT MANCHESTER The lecturer 111gAuliffe was brought before the magistrates at Manchester yesterday, having been remanded from time to time since the 18th of Sept. It will be remembered that on the 18th, after the remand of Kelly and Deasy, but before they were taken to the van, two men attracted the attention of the police as evincing active sympathy with the Fenians. One of these men, AP.Auliffe, was seized by a policeman, at whom (according to the police man's statement) he aimed a blow with a dagger. It was supposed after the attack on the van that he would prove to be connected with the plot which ended in the rescue. The police, however, have failed to get any evidence as to the plot except what re ferred to its execution, and no complicity of the prisoner with it has been shown. Yesterday the only additional evidence given was that the prisoner was seen in company with the woman who brought Kelly's dinner on that day before the rescue, and who afterwards shook hands with Kelly on the way to Albert-street station.

THE SPECIAL CommissroN. —We are informed that the Judges selected to preside at the approaching trials of the Fenian prisoners at ➢lanchester aro Mr. Justice Blackbarn and Mr. Justice Aleller.—Mki(or's journal, POLICE IN This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FIFTEEN TIMES CONVICTED.—John Holloway, a middle-aged man, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. John William Horsford, chief officer of the Mendicity Society, deposed to seeing the prisoner begging in Bond-street. He then took him into custody. Ilorsford said he had a list of previous convic tions, which was as follows :--August, 1855, Marl borough-street, before Mr. Bingham, 7 days; Oct., 1855, before Mr. Hardwick, 14 days ; Nov., 1855, 21 days; July, 1856, before Mr. Beadon, 1 month; Dec., 1856, before Mr. Bingham, 7 days ; Jan., 1857, bekre Mr. Beadon, 14 days ; Feb., 1857, I`4 days; Feb., 1857, 14 days; Aug., 1857, 1 month ; Jan., 1858, 1 month ; July, 1858, 1 month ; Oct., 1858, Bow-street, before Mr. Henry, 1 month ; Oct., 1859, Marlborough-street, before Mr. Beadon, 1 month ; Dec., 1861, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, 1 month ; Dec., 1863, before Mr. Knox, 1 month. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. AN UNGRATEFUL RETUlZN.—Elizabeth Henry, a young woman, was charged with stealing a poor labouring woman's shawl. Mary O'Connell, the prosecutor, living at 19, Oakham-street, Chelsea, stated that on Tuesday week the prisoner went out and got locked up in the station. She sent for prosecutrix's husband, who bailed her out, and prosecutrix accompanied her to this court and paid a small fine inflicted upon her, to prevent her being locked up. After this the prisoner accompanied her home, where they sat chatting together for some time, and then prosecutrix, who was overcome with fatigue, dozed off in her chair. When she awoke she found that the prisoner had disappeared, and with her prosecutrix's shawl, which she had taken off and thrown across a chair back. Mr. Selfe inquired what evidence she had that prisoner had taken it. Prosecutrix replied that she was seen wear ing it when she left the house. She made inquiries, and after a great deal of trouble found her last night and gave her in charge. Prisoner said that she had been drinking so freely that she did not not remember anything about the shawl, excepting that she believed it had been stolen from her in the street after she left prosecu trix's house. She was remanded. THAMES. ITALIAN REVENGE .—Frederick Antonio, an Italian, appeared before Mr. Benson to answer a charge of assaulting William Silvey. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, opened the case for the prosecution as one of a very aggravated nature. The prisoner had attempted to stab the prosecutor with a large sack hook, a formidable weapon. The prosecutor was a foreman, and the prisoner a labourer in the service of Mr. Arnold, a stevedore, and both were engaged in stowing the cargo of an outward-bound ship. Antonio was neglecting his work and lounging in the galley, or cook-house, on deck. Silvey asked Antonio what he was doing in the galley, and told him to mind his work. Antonio called out, " Hold you jaw." Some more words ensued, and Antonio said, " I'll cut your throat," leaped on a beam upon which Silvey was standing, struck him twice, and then grasped him by the throat, and made an attempt to stab him, or rather to tear him, with a sack hook. Silvey retreated backwards on the beam and escaped with a scratch and the loss of a part of his whiskers. The com plainant's life was really in great jeopardy, and he narrowly escaped being precipitated into the hold of the ship, a depth of 14 feet. Witnesses confirmed upon oath the statement of Mr. Pelham. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that ,he complainant called him very bad names, and .hat he did not intend to hurt the foreman. Mr. Benson said the complainant was only doing his duty to his employer, and the defendant was bound to obey his orders. He fined the defendant 10s. and costs. The money was paid. ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE Yesterday, at the Town-hall, at Cambridge, Auguste' Henry Ward, of Oldtield-house, Wis beach, merchant, acd alderman of that borough, was charged under the by-laws of the Great East ern Railway Company with wilfully interfering with the comfort of another passenger travelling on that railway, in the same carriage, on the 15th day of August last. Mr. Straight, barrister, appeared to support the complaint, and Mr. T. H. Naylor, barrister, for the defence. The case was to have been heard previously, but the sum mons was dismissed, owing to a misunder standing. Mr. Straight having opened the case called Miss Lucy Williams, of Cedar Didsbury, near - Manchester, who deposed, with great propriety, that she was an orphan. On Thursday, August 15, had been staying with her guardian, Mr. Chamberlin, of Norwich. Left Norwich by the train about half past ten in a first class carriage. To Ely travelled with a lady. At Ely the lady got out, leaving wit ness alone. First saw Ward walking up and down the platform. He looked into the carriage, and ultimately spoke to her. He said he thought he had seen her before. Witness said, " Indeed !" He asked if he should travel with her. At first she did not answer, but then said she liked travelling alone. He got into the carriage the moment before the train started. She had a copy of Punch. He asked what it was, and she handed it to him. He looked at it a minute or two (said the witness), then leaned across the carriage, and took hold of my hand and pressed it, and I tried to take it away. He asked me where I was going. I said, "To London." He said, "I should like to come and see you. Will you give me youraddress ?" I gave him a wrong address, and said I would rather he did not. I gave him, " Mrs. 'Wilson, 3, Wilton-place, Belgrave-square." I have heard that name in Manchester. I gave him that address because I thought he was mad, and was afraid he would come and see me. Just then we passed a station, and he said, " I wanted to get out at that station, but now must go on to Cambridge." He was then looking out of the window. As soon as we passed the station he tried to draw me on his knee, and kissed me several times. I resisted, and went on to the seat opposite. A few minutes after I stood by the window, and he put his arms round my waist and kissed me again. He said nothing. I resisted, and he let me sit down. I asked his name, and he said " Henry—would you like to know my other name ?" Did not answer, and he added " I'll tell you, but should not like every one to hear of it." He said " Henry Ward." He noticed the bag by her side, and said " What's in here?" She said " A biscuit, will you take one?" Had often heard if you offered mad people things they would be quiet, and thought he was mad. The train going slower entering Cam bridge, he got up and kissed her, saying, " Will you say Good bye?" The ticket porter got on the step at the platform, and Mr. Ward asked if there was a train to Ely that night, as he wanted to have stopped at some station. They went on talking till the train stopped. When the train stopped at the station he took hold of her hand, shook it, and said, " Good bye." Did not offer her hand. lid not say " Good bye." He got out and disappeared. Then went to the guard to ask him not to let any one get into her carriage. (NIT. Straight said the guard was unfortunately absent.) Complained to the gnarl that some man had insulted her, and the guard pointed out the station-master, who came to witness, and she repeated the complaint to him, saying where she came from, and where she was going to, also where she lived. Mr. Ward then came up, she complained in his presence, and he said that what she said was untrue. After a very short con sultation among the magistrates, the Mayor said it was unnecessary for him to express any regret in announcing the unanimous decision of the bench, and to make any observations to a gentleman in Mr. Ward's situation was equally unnecessary. It was the unanimous decision of the bench that the case was fully made out. Mr. Ward was convicted in a penalty of 4N, and costs. BRITISII MI: Cam. Coneol.

Yesterday Captain Palin, the Chief Constable of Manchester, presented the following report to the Mayor in relation to the telegram from Lord Mayo on the 18ih ult., the day of the Fenian rescue of pri soners, which has so often been referred to as giving the authorities warning of the intended outrage. The report was laid before the Watch Committee, and after a lengthy discussion a special sub-commit tee was app)inted to further consider the matter and prepare a report on the whole question for presenta tion to the next meeting of the City Council : " Town-hall, Manchester, Oct. 10, 1867. " The Chief Constable submits for the informa tion of his Worship the Mayor, the following state ment relative to the receipt at this office of a tele gram from Dublin to Superintendent Maybury, on the 18th Sept., concerning the safe custody of the two Fenian prisoners, Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy. " It appears that the telegram was received at five minutes pest 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th by William Mellor, a junior clerk in the detective office, who, as Mr. Maybury was not in the Town hall at the time, opened and read the message, which was handed to Inspector Garner, who came to the office about 2.15 p.m. Inspector Garner had come to report to Mr. Maybury that he had observed some suspicious -looking persons loitering about the cour and, not finding Mr. Maybury, he went in search of Superintendent Gee, whom he mot in Gartside street, near the City Courthouse. He then informed Mr. Gee for what purpose he had been to the Town-hall, and also that he had seen a telegram warning the gaol authorities to keep a good guard over the Fenian prisoners. " Mr. Gee states that when Inspector Garner met him in Gartside-street he reported that two men and a woman who had brought food to the court for Kelly and Deasy had been loitering about the court ever since. He suspected they were Fenians, and thought they were watching for an opportunity to rescue the prisoners. He had been up to the Town-hall to tell Mr. Maybury, but he was not there, but said there was a message there from him (rs I understood) that extra precaution should be taken for the safe custody of the prisoners. In con sequence of the information thus received I inquired from Inspector Garner what officers he had to spare that he could send with the van ; he said seven or eight. I told him to send them, and that I would send four others in a cab to follow the van close behind, and in this manner the prison van was sent away. But before this took place one of the two men described by Garner and another man was, by my orders, apprehended and sent over to the police station.' " The Chief Constable finds from inquiry that Mr. Maybury left the office at a quarter before 2, and did not return until after the van had been attacked and the prisoners rescued. Immediately on his arrival at the Town-hall, about 4.25, he was informed of the attack, and went at once to the gaol, the Fairfield-street police station, and then to the Infirmary, and it was only on his return to the detective office, between 6 and 7 o'clock, that the telegram was put into his hands. " Since the unfortunate event happened the con duct of the police has been severely animadverted upon, and many reports have been current and cir culated in the newspapers to the effect that the police knew on the night of the 17th that there would be an organised attack upon the van. In the Morning Post it was stated that ' intelligence of the intended attack on the van was forwarded from Liverpool, and similar information was sent from Scotland-yard before midnight of the 17th inst. The Irish officers on duty in Manchester also cau tioned the police early on the next day.' The Chief Constable, as is well known, was absent on leave, but he has felt it his duty to inquire from his officers and he :;3 in a position to deny that any officer belonging to the Manchester police received any information whatever of the intended attack, either from Scotland-yard, Liverpool, or the Irish officers on duty in Manchester. It is quite true that there were rumours to that effect. Some of the officers about the court were told on Monday that an attempt was to be made to rescue the two men Kelly and Deasy, and Mr. Maybury was informed of it by Inspector Garner, who was one of the officers to whom the statement was made. It was in consequence of the warning received, and of these rumours, that such steps as were deemed to be sufficient for the security of the prisoners were taken. The prisoners were, contrary to the usual practice, handcuffed, and the extra number of officers before stated were sent to escort the van to the gaol. It may be well understood that the probability of an armed attempt to rescue did not present itself to the minds of the superintendents. The Cb'ef Constable ventures to express his belief that there are few persons 'who, upon such infor mation as the police were in possession of, would not consider that the precautionary steps taken were quite sufficient to meet any emergency which might be reasonably anticipated.

" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and to state in reply that my opinion on those provisions of the Reform Act which bear upon the subject of rates have been fully and frequently declared during the debates last session ; and to those debates I must refer you rather than to any succinct summary of them such as I could now convey. I have no objection however, to state that those provisions, although better than others which stood in the bill as it was at first introduced, are still of a most inconvenient and annoying character, and likewise that they would admit of great and effectual amendment. These are the opinions which up to this time I have seen no reason to change, and I shall look with in terest to the evidence the autumn and winter may supply with respect to the feelings of those whose practical experience of the subject in their several neighbourhoods will be likely to command public attention, and, if I am correct in my views, speedy redress.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. E. GLADSTONE." The following letter from Mr. E. Warner, M.P., dated " Paris, Oct. 5," was also read. 6, Dear Sir,—Your letter, enclosing report of compound householders' meeting, has only just been forwarded to me. lam not surprised at the strong feeling expressed against the clauses of the Repre sentation of the People Act, which require per sonal payment of rates ...... Ido not believe that the case can be dealt with by simply attempting to repeal the provisions in question. The framers of the present Act decided wisely, as I think, to reject in the case of the borough franchise all fixed lines of rating or rental which had been the chief cause of the mis carriage of former attempts. Having done this it became necessary for them to devise means for maintaining connection between taxation and re presentation which had been indirectly provided for under the old system, and which has always been acs 4epted as an essential principle of constitutional government. Very unfortunately, as it appears to me, although perhaps unavoidable, they stumbled on the principle of personal rating. I be lieve that a more consistent arrangement would have been possible, and I regret it was not attempted; but I am not prepared to say that any such scheme could have been carried without alterations in the system of national taxa tion. Esteeming it, as I do, a great honour to have taken part in the passing of the wise and liberal measure of the past session, I am not blind to its defects, least of all to those which your committee are exerting themselves to remove. For the reasons I have given, I think our course is by no means plain or easy ; but if any plan can be suggested for attaining your object which appears reasonable and constitutional it will have my earnest support. —I am, sir, yours faithfully, " EDWARD WARNER." ASSESSED TAXES. —A question was raised yester day at the Finsbury Registration as to the payment of assessed taxes to qualify a person to be placed on the list of voters, and a decision given by Mr. Bacon, the Revising Barrister, which will form a precedent. A ratepayer was excluded from the list as a defaulter fur assessed taxes, and ho now claimed to be inserted. He pro duced his receipt for the taxes, dated tho 23d of July. The Revising Barrister said the 20th of July was the last day allowed by the Act. The applicant stated that he attended on that day, and was told that ho could not pay the money, as it was not one of the days appointed. The Revising Barrister held that as the taxes were tendered oa the 20th he should insect the name on the list. A case had occurred before him at the Marylebone Registration, where the taxes were sent on the 20th of July and refused, as the collector was engaged. Mr. Layton, the vestry clerk of St. Mary, Islington, in whose district the applicant re-. sided, said ho was glad the question had been decided —it was a marvel to him that collectors appointed particular days for the receipt of money, to the inconvenience Of the public. The Revising Barrister considered that, as the taxes were tendered on the 20th of July s the cletutaut was entitled to be placed olt the register, I .60t e t ju h oty, I
