MONEY MARKET A ND COATMERCIAL INTELLIGANc_IA, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In monetary and commercial circles there is still a considerable degree of quietude, although iu a few instances slight symptoms of improvement have been apparent, owing to the more peaceable aspect of affairs on the Continent. In the general dis count market the demand for accommodation con tinues inactive, and the rates current for the nego tiation of first-class short dated commercial paper remain unaltered. At the bullion-office of the Bank of England there were no gold operations of public interest yesterday. At the meeting yesterday of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, after a length ened discussion, lasting four hours and a half, the report of the committee was adopted. Atlantic and Great Western Reilway Debentures have advancel 1, to 26 27, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds If, to 21i 22. The Roman, steamer, from the Cape of Good Rope, has arrived with gold to the amount of about £ 5 ,000 ; the City of Boston, from New York, has brought only £1,500; and the Copernicus, from the River Plato has arrived at Liverpool with £lOO,OOO. The following correspondence relates to the Debt of Venezuela : " London, Oct. 17, 1867. "Dear Sir,—At our recent interview I mentioned to you a plan I proposed two years ago, that the V nezuel an bondholders should f arm the customs of Venezuela. I now beg to send you a copy of that Plan, from which you will perceive thatl propose that portion of the dividends receivable by the bond holders should be devoted to the construction of rail ways, steamboats, and other industrial enterprises cal culated to develope the resources of the country, and that the Government should make a large grant of Waste land to the bondholders in compensation for such sacrifices th e y are ca ll e d u po n to submit to. °uch an arrangement, under the sanction and guarantee of the British Government by an inter national convention, would not only secure to the British creditors the gradual payment of their claims, but would promote, at the same time, the interests . °f Venezu e l a b y es t a bli s hi ng a soun d system o f the "'lances of the country highly beneficial to her credit and commerce. Soliciting the favour of your kind opinion on my project, I have the honour to remain, dear sir, yours, &c., (Signed) " J. GERSTENBERG, Chairman of the Committee of Venezuelan Bondholders. 66 To Mr. G. Fagan, her Majesty's Charg6 d'Affaires at Caracas." " 8, Bennett-street, Oct. 21, 1867. "Dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of Your letter on the 17th inst., enclosing a plan which 31 1 had proposed two years ago for the farming of th e Customs of V en e zue l a by th e Ve ne zuelan bond. f i cdders. With ou t en t er i ng i n t o a di s cussion as to Lee practicability of carrying some of the details of Your plan into execution, I have no hesitation in st ating to you that in my opinion the farming of the custom-houses of the republic by an English ec mpany would be of great advantage to the coun try,, whil s t it cou ld b e ma d e equa ll y b ene fi c i a l to the bo ndholders. It is notorious, as I informed you verbally, that under the present system the import duties collected in the ports of the republic scarcely amount to one-third of what they might produce if the administration of the Customs were properly a nd honestly co n d uc t e d.—l rema i n , d ear Si r , yours , c . , (Signed) " GEORGE FAGAN. "To Mr. J. Gerstenberg, Chairman of the Committee of Venezuelan Bondholders." At the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to-day the directors' report, showing the result of the working for the half-year ended June 30th last, was presented. It stated that, in addi tion to the augmentation of the disbursements in the " working account," arising, as above-men tioned, the charges for " coals" have been still further increased by higher rates of freight, and the items of "provisions" and" stores," particularly the former, by the rise in the price of articles in general use. .s regards the " general reserve fund," it is necessary only to remark that, following the course explained in the last report, the directors have re-transferred to "profit and loss account" £5,000, leaving the fund with a credit balance of £4,939 103. sd. Nothing h aving occurred to affect the " insurance account," the directors have only to congratulate the share holders on the satisfactory position of the fund, and en the substantial returns which they have from t ielo to time derived from it. The directors re commended a distribution of £3 per share (free of Income-tax), including profit from the insurance account; payable by warrants to be issued on the ev ening of the 26th inst. The report was adopted. W ith respect to the markets at Manchester, the we ekly circular of Messrs. Alexander Conti and Co. s tates as follows :—During the past week we have ha d a brisk demand for goods for nearly all im portant markets, an d th e a d va nce i n c otton has Ilahl ed sellers he ro t o o bt a i n ver y f u ll p r i ce s for their productions.

DISCHARGE OF GROVES FROM THE CHARGE OF MURDER. The further examination of John Groves was proceeded with to-day before Mr. Vaughan. The interest the case has excited seemed to still retain its hold on the public, as large crowds of persons as sembled again in the street outside the police court, whilst the interior was crowded almost to suffocation. The prisoner was brought from the House of Detenti:m in the police van, which was guarded in the usual manner. Mr. Poland attended on the part of the Crown, and Mr. W. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. Poland said since the last examination a very full inquiry h_l , l taken place. else Nhere, and from what had transpired on that occasion he did not intend to a.,:k that the woman Jenman should be bound over as a witness against the pri soner. He had not come to that determination from any suppositions, but from actual facts which had come to light in the course of certain in quiries which it had been thought right on the part of the prosecution to make with respect to the evidence she had given. He might as well at once state that, dispensing altogether with the evidence' of the woman Jenman, that which he had to offer that day would not carry the case against the prisoner any further than on the last oocasion. Helson, the person spoken of by the witness Bowler, was in attendance, but his evidence was noViat all of a nature to strengthen the charge against the prisoner ; and that being the case, although there was a strong suspicion against him, it was but right that he should ask whether the magistrate thought enough evidence had been adduced which would justify his committal for trial by a jury on the serious charge that had been preferred against him. The assistant of Mr. Jennings, at whose shop it was supposed the false beard had been purchased, had seen the pri soner, but he could not take upon himself to say that he was the person who had made the purchase. The discharge of-Groves at the present time would not prevent the police from carrying on their in quiry with the utmost vigilance, and, in the event of fresh evidence being obtained, the prisoner could again be taken into custody. Mr. Sleigh said, on the part of Groves, he had to thank his friend for the fair manner in which he had conducted the case against him, and after the statement that he had made, without the learned magistrate expressed a wish to hear further evidence, or thought it to be his duty to send the prisoner for trial, he should not say ono word further at that part of the case. Law Intelligence—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche). IN RE THE RIGHT HON. B. HOWARD. Mr. Vaughan said he had already expressed an opinion before the examination of the woman Jen man that the evidence was so meagre against the prisoner that unless it was materially strengthened he could not think of sending the ease for trial. The evidence of Mrs. Jenman being stripped from the case, it did not appear to him (Mr. Vaughan) now to stand on any surer foundation than it did when Inspector Thomp son gave his evidence on the first examination of the prisoner. He was glad Mr. Poland had naltde the statement he had at the commencement of that day's proceeding, as he (Mr. Vaughan) was enabled at once to say that he was of opinion that the case as it at present stood was not one that ought to be sent for trial, therefore from that charge the prisoner was discharged. There was a slight attempt at applause in the court, but it was instantly suppressed. Mr. Poland said he now proposed to proceed with the charge that had been preferred against Groves for assaulting King on the Saturday night in Broad-street, St. Giles's. The evidence showed that the present case was that of an ordinary street row in St. Giles's, and that Groves was the person who inflicted some very severe injuries on King and his companions. Mr. Sleigh said he should not attempt to deal with the present charge on that occa=ion. Groves would certainly be committed for trial for the assault, but ho might here observe that when that charge was heard he should be quite prepared with witnesses to disprove the assertion of the prose cutor (King) that Graves was the aggressor in the first instance. He hoped the magistrate would allow the prisoner to put in bail for his ap pearance at the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Vaughan did not see that the present charge presented any features different from that of the ordinary charges of assault which were disposed of at the Middlesex sessions, and he should not depart from the ordinary course, he therefore committed the prisoner for trial to the Middlesex Sessions. Mr. Sleigh asked that Groves might be ad mitted to bail. The only fact that could be alleged against such a course was that he was found in posses sion of a dagger when he was taken into custody, but that fact was in his favour, because had he been a person of violent passion and temper he might have used the weapon, which ho did not. Mr. Vaughan asked Mr. Poland what he had to say on the subject of bail. Mr. Poland said ho neither assented nor objected. He thought such matters were better left to the discretion of the magistrate. Mr. Vaughan finally decided to admit the pri soner to bail on his procuring two sureties in £lOO to meet the charge of misdemeanour, viz.—of un lawfully wounding and inflicting actual bodily harm on the prosecutor. He should require that 48 hours' notice of the proposed bail be given to the prosecution. The prisoner was then removed. 1071 7 This bankrupt was described as a gentleman, of 29, Glasshouse-street, Regent-street, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. The total amount of debts is only £302, and the cause of the failure is said to be insufficiency of income.

R. Lowe, who is to open the session of Edinburgh Philosophical Institution on Friday week. The Attempted Murder of a Policeman. LATEST PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY). This morning the unfortunate police-constable George Saunders, No. 153 of the E division, who was stabbed and afterwards shot in North Crescent mews, Euston-road, on Sunday morning last, by a suspected Fenian, is in a very precarious state, and it is now feared that his injuries will terminate fatally. He has since Monday become very wild and excited, and he is in a state of the most intense pain. During the last three days the police have been most actively engaged in tracing the man, who is no doubt a Fenian, that attempted to kill the officer. It is said that Government will offer a reward for his apprehension. TIIE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.-Mr. W. R. Griffiths, late president of the Cambridge University Boat Club, roplies to Mr. Skey, that the crew are perfectly able to row back after the race, and that ho has never known or heard of an instance of a man fainting or being unable to speak or to rise from his seat. " The result of perfect training is that after a few minutes' rest you aro able to undergo great exertion again without it , jury or weariness. This is particularly exemplified at H en l ey, w h ero some mon row throe and four races a clay. I, myself, rowed throe races on the same afternoon at Henley ono year, and 1 was just as ready to row each race as if I had not rowed previously. Mr. Skey lays great stress on men retiring to their rooms after races at Henley. Naturally when a man is required to row two or three races on the same after noon he rests between each race and keeps as quiet as possible. I know but ono instance of a man being injured by rowing in the university crew, and this was from the trainer of the crow keeping to the antique and exploded rules of training, and neglecting common souse principles and precautions." More harm, Mr. Griffiths thinks, arises from men rowing "untrained " in short races than from men rowing long and sovero races while iii good condition. A New York paper says that a brother of Burns's Highland Mary is an ordnance sergeant at Newport, - Rhode Island, and is SO years of are. __ FALM.OUTII, Oct. 22.—The barque Achilles, of Glasgow, 602 tons, Pearnick, master, from Mirarnichi for London, with a cargo of deals and salmon, wont on shore near Mullion, in Mount's Bay, at 10 on Monday morning in a thick fog; crow saved by coistguard and lifeboat.

CONJUGAL AFFECTION IN THE MINING DISRICTS. —We learn from the Newegstic Daily Journal that a man 79 years of age, died suddenly at a publichouse, and an, inquest was held on his body. Ms widow was not present; one of the witnesses said she had been asked to come, but replied that tho distance was too far to travel, and, " be sides, what's the use of a dead man to me ?"

Maguire, a rough-looking fellow, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with being foi;nd down the area of No. 38, Conduit-street, Regent-street, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony. Police-constable Richard Caless, 118 C, said that about three o'clock that morning, after watching the prisoner try different area gates in Conduit street, he saw the prisoner go down the area of No. 38, and he then took him into custody, and upon searching him he found in his pockets a knife, a pair of pincers, apiece of candle, and some lucifer matches. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he did not remember anything about it. lle was " a handy chap," and could do anything. Mr. Tyrwhitt said no doubt he could do any thing, and remanded him that he might be seen by the police from the different divisions. SINGULAR BEGGING CAREER.—A strange looking man, who was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and refused his name, said—l have got no home, and was charged by Mr. Horsford, officer of the Mendicity Society, with-begging. Horsford said that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner sitting on a doorstep in Oxford street with his cap in his hand. A gentleman gave the prisoner something, and the prisoner then went into a publichouse and had something to drink, and after leaving the publichouse begged of a female, and he then took him into custody, and with great difficulty got him to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the officer whether he had seen the prisoner begging before. Horsford said he had. The prisoner had been in custody 29 times, and 26 times convicted. The pri soner was known to him by the soubriquet of " Silly Jack," and had been charged with begging at Bow street, Marlborough-street, Southwark, Clerken well, and Westminster, receiving three sentences of three months' imprisonment,one of two months', 18 of one month, three of 14 days', and one of 8 days'. The prisoner said he went into the publichouse to get half a pint of ale, and because he was resting the constable charged him with begging. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had the power to send the prisoner for three months as a rogue and vagabond, and for that term ho should commit him. WESTMINSTER. A VERY UNEXPECTED AND FAVOURABLE CHANGE. —Charles Strickland, a journeyman tailor, of very dissipated appearance, was brought up on a warrant charged with unlawfully pawning a great-coat be longing to Henry Gate; of 3A, North-street, Sloane-square, and three waistcoats from Mr. Wal ter Burrell, gentleman, of 11, Moore-street, Chelsea. Mr. G-aten said that the prisoner in his absence came to his house and obtained a great-coat from his wife, which he pawned, and iu the course of the next day sent him the ticket. He, however, had not been to the pawnbroker's to see whether it was his coat. Mr. Walter Burrell said that a few days ago he took three waistcoats to Mr. Gaten's shop, and handed them to the prisoner for repairs. He had subsequently learnt that the prisoner had tAken them to a pawnbroker's and pawned one, which could be produced. Prisoner said he had sold other coats for Mr. Gaten, and had authority to eon this ono. Mr. Arnold—But you had no authority to pawn it or the waistcoats belonging to this gentleman. Prisoner ascribed the whole circumstance to his drunkenness. Mr. Gaten said he did not wish to press the mat ter, as prisoner's wife had promised to get the coat out of pawn. Mr. Arnold—You had no right to come here, get a warrant against this man, and have him taken into custody, if you did not wish to proceed with the charge. Have you any wish to punish this man, Nir. Burrell. Mr. Burrell—None whatever. Mr. Arnold—He is discharged. THAMES. DESERTION OF CHILDREN.—Robert Hill, with a great many aliases, a brickniaker and labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with running away and deserting his two children, aged 3 and 5 years respectively, and leaving them chargeable to the Poplar Union. Mr. James Speatley, relieving officer of Poplar Union, said the prisoner's wife died in September, 1866, and he immediately afterwards sold off his home for £3 and absconded, leaving the two children chargeable to the Union. They had been supported by the parish at au expense of £25, which he now demanded of the prisoner, who was apprehended last night in the country by Walton, an officer of the court, who had been seeking after him at inter vals for 11 months. The Prisoner--I have not had any work all the winter. Mr. Speatley said the prisoner had eluded the constable Walton by many disguises and aliases, and was employed at the new dead -meat market in the City for some time, and afterwards upon other jobs, and he was earning sometimes 45., and at other times £2 per week. Mr. Benson—And. he leaves his children to be supported by the parish. Monstrous The Prisoner—l have not earned what the officer says. Nr. Benson had no doubt of the veracity of the relieving officer. It was a bad case of deserting children, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The pri soner was a strong, able-bodied man, and if he did not maintain his children when his sentence expired he would be sent to gaol for three mouths. Wreck on tho Cornish Coast. MULLION, Tuesday, 3.30 a.m. I have much gratification (says the Rev. E. G. Harvey) in reporting the first and successful service of the Daniel J. Draper lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution. At ten o'clock last night, during foul weather, and in a thick fog, the alarm was given that a vessel was in distress off Pollurrain Cove, about a mile and a half from this place. The lifeboat was thereupon launched, and was fortu nately the means of saving three of the men from the strar.ded vessel. The coastguard men, who were the first to observe her, had meanwhile been able to save the remaining 15 men of the crew by means of the rocket apparatus. The ship was the Achilles, of Glasgow, Capt. David Kinnear, bound from Miramichi to London, with a cargo of timber. Other •vessele are also reported to be embayed, so it is posible the services of the lifeboat may be again called into requisition. This boat was only placed on its station last month. The whole coat of the lifeboat establishment was the gift to the Institution of Wesleyans and other friends in the United King dom, through the medium of the Methodist Recorder, in memory of the late Rev. D. J. Draper, who un happily perished in the steamship London, in the Bay of Biscay, last year. Mr. Draper at the time was on his way to Australia, in which colony he had for many years been an active and zealous minister of the Wesleyan Methodists.

The 2,510 deaths registered last week in the ten large English towns, including London, showed a further increase of 78 upn the numbers returned in recent weeks, the whole of which occurred in London. The unusally low temperature of the first • fortnight in October has caused a general increase in the fatality of inflammatory diseases of the or gans of respiration. The mortality from diarrhoea is no longer excessive, but scarlatina is fatally pre valent in Liverpool, Birmingham, and in some parts of Manchester. In London the births of 1,082 boys and 1,089 girls, in all 2,171 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,024. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,332. It was the forty-second week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,280. The deaths in the present return ex - cud by 52 the estimated number. T he number of deaths increased from 1,233 re gistere I in the week ended Oct. 12 to 1,332 last week. The deaths from diseases of the brain and nervous system, the respiratory organs, and the heart exhibit an increase. Zymotic diseases were not so fatal as in the preceding week, and the mor tality from diarrhoea is rapidly declining, 37 cases were registered last week ; the numbers in the four previous weeks were 114, 108, 78, 59. The son of a bricklayer, aged 6 months, died on Oct. 12, at 14, New-lane, St. John, Southwark, of " infantile cho lera, 4 days." The daughter of a labourer, aged 3 years, died on Oct. 12, at 3, Gaywood-court, Lon don-road, Southwark, of " choleraic diarrhoea." A charwoman, aged 76 years, died on Oct. 12, at the East London Union Workhouse, Homerton, of " exhaustion from want." The daughter of a packer, aged 21 months, died on Oct. 16, at Guy's Hospital, having been "accidentally poisoned by drinking carbolic acid." Post mortem. (Inquest.) The deaths of three persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.599 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29.43 in. on Sunday, Oct. 13, to 29.77 in. on Wednesday, Oct. 16. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 52.5 degrees, which is 2.4 degrees above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 64.8 dog., on Monday, the 14th of October. The lowest night temperature was 39.6 deg., on Sunday, the 13th October. The entire range of temperature during the week was, therefore, 25.2 deg. The mean of the highest tem perature of the waters of the Thames was 49.1 deg. ; that of the lowest was 46.2 deg. The difference be tween the mean dew-point temperature and air tem perature was 3.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0-72 in. Ozone was observed on four days during the week. The general direction of the wind was S.W., S.S. IV., and S.E. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the River Thames at the Southern °titian Works, Crossness, was 51,151,355 gallons, or 232,401 cubic metres, equivalent to as many tons by weight. 111.1 RKE TS —(This Day.) MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, and generally hi poor condi tion. Tho demand for both red and white qualities was inactive, and to force sales a reduction must have been sub mitted to. In foreign a small retail business was concluded at barely Monday's currency. _ Floating cargoes of grain have changed hands slowly on easier terms. There was a fair inquiry for barley, but prices were tending downwards. The.malt trade was steady at late rates. There was a good supply of oats, which have been rather cheaper to purchase. Beans and peas were offered at lower prices, but the de mand was dull. Linseed and rapeseed ruled firm in price, but agricul tural seeds were in little request. Cakes sold slowly, at late rates. The flour trade was very dull, and Monday's prices were barely maintained. ARRIVALS TIII3 WEIL Wheat. Barley. Alalt. Oats. Flour.
