X 0 N ARKBi AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCIS, In the TWELVE O'CLOCK. general discount market the supplies of capital on offer are ample, but the demand for ac commodation is only limited ; the rates demanded still ranging from 4 to i 4 per cent. Notice has been given that 2,515 bonds, repre senting £72,760, of the Viceroy of Egypt's Loan for £3,387,300, have been drawn for redemp tion at par on the Bth January next. Anxiety is felt for the steamship Thunder, from China for Calcutta. She has £53,000 of specie on board. The death of Mr. Welch Miller, insurance broker of I.!oyd's, was announced yesterday. His affairs, it will be remembered, were recently assigned to an accountant for settlement, in consequence of his Protracted illness. B usiness in the Fo re i gn an d C o l on i a l P ro d uce Markets d uring the last few days has been rather inactive, although prices generally have remained steady. In tea the operations have been extremely restricted, a small quantity of Indian produce, however, is announced for public competition to-day. Sugars have been in very moderate demand, but superior quantities have maintained full values. Coffee has been in fair request, at about late prices ; while in rice, cocoa, fruit, and spices, the dealings have been to a fair extent, but have led t . o no material change in values. Tallow has been very moderate de man d, an d pr i ces genera lly nave shown a slight downward movement in all positions. It is satisfactory to notice that the reforms which Were stated to have taken place in the management of the Turkish Treasury begin to exhibit encourag ing results. Although this is only the month of November we are informed that almost the whole Of the funds required for the dividends and repay ruents due next January on the foreign debt of Turkey are already in the hands of the Imperial Ottoman Bank in London and Paris. Messrs. Edward Lloyd and Co., merchants, 9, Austinfriars, have suspended payment. The liabilities estimated to rank against the estate are about £30,000. It is expected that the assets' will Show about 10s. in the pound. The stoppage has been occasioned by the failure of a company that was largely indebtei to the firm. The books have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Taretiand, Young, and Co. With regard to the tea trade Messrs. Hulbert and Co. state that—" Since the date of our last circular the tea market has remained in much the same quiet state as then described. The only feature to ob serve has been the heavy clearance by the home trade d uring the past week, in face of the uncertainty regarding the mode • in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer may seek for funds to m ee t th e cost o f th e Aby s si n ian " P e dition.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Pigott, and a Special Jury.) BARNETT V. ROBERTS-ASSAULTING A TENANT. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an aggravated assault upon the plain tiff, a surgeon, by the defendant, his landlord. Mr. Sergeant Ballautine and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. I)igby Seymour, Q.C., and another learned gentleman represented the de fendant. It appeared that the plaintiff in this action was a surgeon practising at Milford, and was the tenant of a house belonging to the defendant Roberts. In September of 1866 the plaintiff took the house for 12 months, intenaing to reside there and practise in the surrounding neighbourhood. In the beginning of this year some disputes arose between them about some of the fixtures of the home, and also about the requisite repairs, and one evening, according to the statement of the plaintiff, the defendant called upon him. At that time he was engaged in his own draw ing room, a violent ring was heard at the bell, and the man servant answered it and announced Mr. Roberts. The plaintiff went down to the dining room and found him there. As it was dark they went into the surgery, and began talking about the repairs. Plaintiff rang for candles, and they were proceeding to the nursery to see what was to be done there, when the defendant, who had been look ing very sullen, said—" It is a lie, a lie, a lie !" in the most emphatic manner. Plaintiff could not tolerate this, and accordingly he ordered his servant to show him out, and said he must leave his house. He said he should not, and called plaintiff all the opprobrious epithets possible ; when he did go it was only step by step, and he threatened to strike plaintiff with his umbrella. Plaintiff only treated this in a jocose manner, as he considered that he was behaving in a manner for which he would afterwards be sorry. When they got to the doorstep, however, he raised his umbrella and struck plaintiff a tremendous blow, which laid open the skull and covered his face with blood. He struck him a second blow, which he partially guarded with his arm, but which, not withstanding, inflicted a wound on his forehead. He was otherwise ill-used and so maltreated that he was for a long time laid up, and was entirely debilitated, nervous, and prostrated. He had lost a great deal from his illness, and was unable to follow up his profession. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) FINNEY V. FINNEY. This suit, which was tried some few days ago, was instituted by the wife in order to obtain a judi cial separation, on the ground of her husband's cruelty. The learned Judge, this morning, delivered judg ment, and said that the Court had taken time to consider what course it should pursue, inasmuch as the evidence was of a contradictory character, and there being a doubt, he desired to have time to read it over. Having done so, and carefully revieu ed it, he found that the petitioner complained of a con tinuous system of cruelty, but he could not find any act of violence, except that in December, 1865, and respondent did not seem to have laid his hand upon his wife in any other way. But this was not the ground upon which the suit had been founded. It was stated that this constant course of violence had preyed upon the wife's health. But from the admission of the wife that she allowed her husband to measure out wine for her he was induced to believe that, as stated by the husband, as a reason for his bad language that sho was in the habit of taking too much. Her letters to her husband sh)wed that great affection existed between the parties, and he could not consider that there was cruelty towards the wife in the main. As to continuous cruelty, he could not believe that she was brought to any such condition, because in the correspondence of 1866 there are letters which tend strongly to show that the husband's conduct was such as not to make her afraid of him, cr wishing him away, for she begged him to return home as quickly as possible. He must, therefore, decide that she had failed to make out her case, and the respondent must be dismissed from the suit. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. CHURCH RATES. MR. ODO RUSSELL. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 101 l g CF.UEL ASSAULT.—PauIine Gerrard, a German woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with violently assaulting Mrs. Victoria Villiers, the wife of a sign-writer, living in rriuce's-street, Leicester square. 104 f I 1021 2 14 Mr. Edward Le w i s , appeared for the def en d an t . of Great Marlborough-street, IT!i - The complainant, who gave her evidence seated said that she went to No. 10 A, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, with an article her husband had purchased for a Mr. Lahr. She was told to go round to the door in Nelson-street, and as soon as she knocked at the door, the prisoner, who opened it, seized her by the shoulders and kicked her. She had been very ill ever since, and obliged to be at tended by a doctor, who said that the kick had caused pleurisy in her side. Mr. Villiers, husband of the complainant, who was waiting for his wife, gave similar evidence, and Mr. Barton, of 36, Nassau-street, proved see ing the prisoner kick the complainant. Golden Palmer, E division, said that when he went to the house to t a k e th e prisoner into custody the complainant fainted and fell, and she had to be taken to the hospital. HI ; 91 93 Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and called some witnesses, one of whom, named Theodore Williams, said that complainant rang the hell and kicked at the door, and on being told that Lahr was not there struck the prisoner ; and another, Chas' Pollmos, the landlord of the house, said that a man named Lahr had lived in the house, but left a wee k before the present affair. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that he believed the defence had been got up since the last occasion, fined the prisoner £5 and costs. THAMES. SHOCKING CASE OF STABBING.—Richard Ryan, a tall, swarthy man, with a sun-dried, whiskerless face, was brought before Mr.. Knox, charged with felo niously cutting and wounding George James, pot man at the Kinder Arms public-house, Little Turner-street, Commerci al • r oad East. d in surgical band ages , pa l e as a spectre,h s T h h eea ande prosecutor,enveloped roia ep who presented a sorry s i g ht, with weakly conditio n f rom l oss of blood, stated that the prisoner was in the Kinder's Arms taproom last evening, and he quarrelled with his wife and commenced beating her. He interposed and separated them, and begged of the prisoner to be quiet. A quarter of a n h our afterwards the pri soner quarrelled with and beat his wife a second tune. a He again i n interposed, and th e pr i soner made a ttack upon him, an d struc k fierce e him several times on the head. He thought he was struck with a key, and was partially stunned with the blows, but he soon found himself bleeding from the head, and also from the arm , He was conveyed to the London Hospital. Mr. K w o o u x n — d D oi did,di h e cut ss r which had no t b een arm, your arm? Witness—tic. (The witn ess th en ex poseddressed.) George Cleaver, a police-constable, No. 199 K, stated that he was sent for to the Kinder's Arms, and took the prisoner into custody. A knife was found on the prisoner at the station-house. The prisoner was the worse for liquor, and said he knew nothing of the matter he was charged with. Samuel Kemp, barman at the Kinder's Arms, stated that he saw the prisoner take up a knife half au hour before he stabbed the potrnan, and after looking at it and feeling the edge he put it down again. ➢lr. Ditchett, house surgeon of the Londan Hospital, said the prosecutor was brought there yesterday evening, and he examined him and found two wounds ou hip hod, They were clear' Nts, and inflicted with a knife or other sharp instru ment. There was also a small wound in the ear. Mr. Knox—Have you examined his arm ? Witners —I have not, sir. No mention was made of his arm. Mr. Knox—Look at it, sir, if you please. Mr. Ditchett said there was a superficial wound on the arm two and a half inches in length. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at fivo o'clock. Earl GRANVILLE said that what he wanted to ask for was some further information as to what had been done wi-.11 regard to the Abyssinian question, and although they had 500 pages already before them, still he thought they ought to have even every scrap . of paper that was in the India Office. There had been a corre spondence presented as to whether a surgeon should take his valet with him or not. Be did not complain that the Government should furnish them wiih superfluous in formation as to the individual comforts of the troops, but he thought that the house ought to be furnished with every particular. The reason that the Government had been induced on the 19th of August to undertake the ex pedition was that en the 13th of that month they bad re ceived information that induced them to believe that it would be attended with success. Now, he could not see anything that should lead to such a supposition, and in the Times it was also remarked that it could not be Sir John Durand's note, nor could he think so either. Therefore he would ask the noble earl to have these important documents circulated among the members of the house. The Earl of DERBY said that the notice which was sent to the Earl of Malniesbury by the noble Earl was a question whether there would be any objection to lay a certain document relating to this information before the house, and that was all that he (the noble earl) knew of the matter, and as far as he knew there was no objection to such a course, but he would ask the noble earl to wait until the matter was fully discussed, when, no doubt, the matter'would be satisfactorily explained. The subject then dropped. THE POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY put a question to the Postmaiter-General as to what was the intention of the Government respecting the proposed renewal of the con tract with the Peninsular and Oriental Co., and tho intended arrangement for the postal communication with India, who was understood to say that there were routes that gave no more facilities than the one at present adopted. The Duke of MONTROSE said that there was suffi cient time for any company to have tendered, but they had not one offer to do any service, and it was only the Orien tal Company that did offer, and they offered to do the whole. The noble lord had said that it was a high rate, but in the first instance there had been a refusal to take the offer; then it was thought that an extension of time would be bettor, and therefore it was extended to 12 years. By this means in 12 years they had saved £1,200,000. He did not now see how they could better this arrangement. It was for the House of Commons to say whether they would pay a high rate for a short period or a low rate for a long period, but by the now arrange m3ut they would, have 52 mails a year instead of 48 the mail to Bombay would be the same, and that to China also, and they should have the satisfaction of knowing that the mails would be a day or two earlier. The voyage is now being made much quicker by a route through the Straits of Messina. He was induced for these reasons to believe that the arrangements with the company were considered highly satisfactory. The now contract would begin on the Ist of February. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. On the motion of Mr. LOCKE a copy of the letter written by Mr. Ayrton to the President of the Council on the subject of metropolitan Public schools was ordered. Mr. NEWDEGATE gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the commutation of church rates on Tuesday next. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a memlyz for Thetford in the place of the Hon. Hugh Baring. Sir T. LLOYD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention had been drawn to a state ment in the newspapers of a domiciliary visit having been made, by order of the Papal Government, at the house of Mr. Odo Russell, our acknowledged agent at Rome ; and asked what steps the noble lord intended to take if such report was substantiated. Lord STANLEY said what had ocourred on the subject was briefly as follows :—On Saturday, the 9th, Mr. Ode Russell being at Florene:s, the residence that gentleman occupied at Rome was searched, in order to ascertain whether it contained arms, but Mr. Russell's papers and tdoks were not interfered with. Immediately on Mr. Rus sell's return to Rome he waited on Cardinal Antouelli with a view to sumo explanation, and he then learned that no perquisition had been issued for the search of Mr. Russell's residence ; but as it was one of the palaces marked down with a view of taking measures for the safety of the in by the revolutionary committee to be blown up with gun powder, it was searched not on account of suspicion, but mates. Mr. Russell had expressed himself perfectly satis fied with the explanation, and he (Lord Stanley) concurred in that view. .....=;;; ; , m ,S 1/11 s o the a• bet Ir.

The attention of those on duty at the harbour was quickly aroused, a rocket was sent up from the watch-house in reply, and the crew of the life boat and steal, tug were speedily called together. The lifeboat was manned, and at 6.45 left the harbour in tow of her consort., the steam tug Aid. The night was ♦ery dark and still, and the tid..3 had long commenced to flow. On arriving at the Goodwin it was found that a large Hamburgh vessel, of about 500 tons burden, had gone ashore on the treacherous sands about half-past 5 o'clock. Some boats from Deal, however, had forestalled the Rams gate boatmen, and the ship was in process of being got out of her dangerous situation. The captain of the steam tug seeing this waited till its successful accomplishment, and then returned to the Royal harbour, which they reached after their bevtle4§ ea uct abc - ,44 jolf-pa4t tel 4 P.m THE CURRAGR CAMP. Lord E. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for War whether the attention of the War Department had been drawn to the wretched state of the vagrant population in the immediate neighbourhood of the Curragh Camp, and whether it was the intention of the Government this ses sion to extend the provisions of the Contagious Diseases Act to all camps and garrison and seaport towns in the United Kingdom. Sir J. PAKINGTON said his attention had been drawn to the wretched state of the camp, but the powers of the War-office were limited to the extent of the camp ; the local authorities were accountable for all matters beyond the limit. It was intended to take steps to extend the powers of the Irish police to meet the case. With respect to the other part of the question ho could not give him any information until the . working of the act where hos pitals had been erected was ascertained. POOR LAWS. Mr. CANDLISII asked the Secretary to the Poor-law Board if it was his intention to introduce a bill this Session to consolidate and amend the laws for the relief of the poor. Mr. S. BOOTH said it was his intention to introduce a bill for the amendment of the law, but not a consolidation of it. An attempt at consolidation at the present time would be premature. RITUALISM. Mr. MONK asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether ho was prepared to state what course her Majesty's Government proposed to take with a view to carry out the recommendations contained in the first Report of the Ritual Commissioners. Mr. HARDY said at present her Majesty's Government had not decided upon any course, as the report of the commissioners was not sufficiently full to enable the Go vernment to do so. WAR SHIELDS. General DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War whether ho would lay upon the table of the house the report of the committee which had lately tested the target known as the Gibraltar shield, and whether 34 of those shields had, previous to the trial, been sent to Gibraltar and other fortresses in our colonies? Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had no objection to lay the report alluded to on the table. It was quite true that some of those shields had been sent abroad without any previous trial, but that was caused by the expedition re quired for them being sent away. Ono of the shields had been tried, and it had, ho believed, turned out unsuccessful. A committee, however had been appointed to inquire into the whole of the circumstances connected with the failura, and to report what improvements were required. DISTURBANCES IN CRETE. 31r. POWELL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any correspondence respecting the dis turbances in Crete had taken place since dates of papers already presented to Parliament ; whether it was in tended to lay upon the table any further papers on this subject previous to the Christmas re cess ; and whether, should there have been such correspondence, communications had passed between the Porto and the British Government respecting these events or the future settlement of the island. Lord STANLEY said some further correspondence had taken place, and ho should be prepared to lay the papers on the table in the course of a few days. With respect to the second part of the question, he must refer the hon. gentleman to the papers themselves. POOR IN WORE: EIOUSES. Mr. GOSOHEN asked tho Secretary of the Poor Law Board whether the attention of .the Beard had been di rected to the defects alleged by the Commissioners of the British jlfedical Journal to exist in the Clifton and Bedminster workhouse infirmaries, and to the expressed desire of the guardians of Bedminster and Clifton that the state of these houses should form the subject of a formal PoJr-law inquiry ; and whether the Board propose to order such an inquiry ? Mr. BOOTH said there was no intention of issuing a formal inquiry into the arangenments of the two places mentioned, but such steps as the matter required would be taken. BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. LAYARD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to propose during the present session of Parliament any measure for the better adminis tration of the British Museum and other institutions in the United Kingdom connected with science and art ? The OILLICELL9A tae gZOLLEQVER Naid ho had no i ntention of bringing in such a bill. He was at present engaged on a smaller measure which would ne cessitate the separation of some of the collections— which measure was promised last year. FRENCH EXHIBITION. Mr. LAYARD asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the sum of £15,000 voted by Parliament for pur chases of objects in the Paris Exhibition, in consequence of a report of the select committee appointed last session, had been expended; and if not, - why mot? Lord P. MONTAGU said the purchase was only to be inade out of the saving of the sum voted last year which the ben. member had mentioned. That saving had only amounted to .13, , 175, and that sum had only been ex pended. MAILS TO INDIA. Sir IT. RAWLI.NSON asked the Secretary to the Trea sury whether, in the event of the new proposed contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the mbil service to the East being approved by the Legislature, it was the intention (.1 her Majesty's Government to increase the rates of postage ou overland letters between England and India? Mr.. HUNT said it was announced last session that when the in , proved postal system came into operation the post age of litters would be increased by 3 I. per half ounce, and that intention 6611 remained. OCCUPIERS OP SMALL TENEMENTS. Sir W. lIUTT asked the Attorney-General whether, under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, the overseers of the poor were required to place on the rate-book the names of all the occupiers of tenements whose jrates before the passing of that act were paid by the owner, according to the provisions of the Small Tene ment Act ? Tho ATTORNEY-GENERAL referred the hon. gentleman to the interpellation clause of the Reform Bill, which fully met the question, and where it did not the occupiers would have to be placed on the rate-book: STREET REGULATIONS ACT. On the motion for the second reading of the bill for the amendment of the Street Regulations Act, Mr. AYRTON objected to the provision of the bill which enacted that only cost.ermongers should be allowed to expose their goods on certai❑ vacant spaces in front of houses and other places. Shopkeepers had a better right to use these spaces, and he could not see why such a pri vilege should be given to persons who did not pay heavy rates and taxes. Mr. HARDY said 112 did not see that the bill at all in terfered with the rights of property. The original clause was one of such extreme stringency that to put it into operation as it stood it had been found that the greatest hardships would be occasioned ; therefore, to meet the case, the present bill had been introduced, which gave powers to the police to allow goods to be exposed for sale by streetlawkers under certain regulations. Sir G. BOWYER said last session the question of Re form had so absorbed attention that other things had been passed over most hurriedly, and the present bill was the result of this hasty legislation. He thought the best thing to do was to repeal the sixth section of the original bill altogether, and in committee he should be prepared to move the omission of the clausa. After a few words the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid on the table a proposition for a vJte of credit for £2,000,000 for the expenses of the expedition to Abyssinia. The house then adjourned. MARKETS—(This Day.) HAY.

A boat race in outriggers for the above sum took place on Monday afternoon between Thomas Wise, a waterman, of Hammersmith, and John Pedgrift, a landsman, of Sur biton, the course being from Putney to Mortlake. The men aro both well known, Wise as having won a coat and badge at tho Thames National Regatta, besides several races with Kilsby, Tagg, &c., and Pedgrift as having taken part in the champion four-oared race at the Thames National winning the £lOO prize ; he has also distinguished himself at the sculls. Wise had been training at Mr. Wilcox's, thee" White Hart," Barnes, and Pedgrift at the " Star and Garter," Putney, with Sadler and Hammerton, and both were well. Wise, however, from previous performances, was supported at 3 to 1, which price found many takers, Mr. Wormald was referee; Mr. Wilcox, of the " White Hart," Barnes, umpire for Wise, and Mr. James Messenger, the Queen's bargemaster, for Pedgrift ; the former was piloted by George Drewett, of Chelsea, and the latter by George Ifammerton, of Surbiton. They got to station shortly after two, \Vise having won the toss and taken the Middlesex side. After a little dodging they got away on a very bad tido, Wise with a slight lead ; Pedgrift, however, who possessed the advan tage of superior strength, drew up, and in 50 yards was level ; a splendid race fora similar distance found Pedgrift leading, and at the "Star and Garter" ho was half a length ahead, but working with his arms instead of his legs, with out which there can bo no lift. Wise, on t►.e contrary, was the perfection of a sculler, and directly after they passed the " Duke's Head," style told in his favour, and he rapidly went to the front, although a smart spurt from Ped grift brought him very close at the Point. After this the raco was over, and though Pedgrift rowed a very game race, ho was unable to alter tha tide of affairs, and wag beaten by four lengths. Time, 26 min. 10 secs. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1868.

A fire, attended with very deplorable results, occurred at a farmhouse in Kinderton, near Middle wich, Cheshire, on Sunday morning. The house was a very old one, with thatched roof, and having a large quantity of timber in the walls. It was occupied by a farmer named Cook, and living in the house with him were his wife, four children, two women servants, and a boy. At about 4.30 on Sunday morning the servant lad went downstairs in order to see what time it was before going out to milk the cows. On opening the kitchen door he was met by a great flame which burned his hair and scorched him badly. He ran back upstairs to alarm the other inmates of the house. Having done that, he leaped through a window, and so managed to escape. Mr. Cook, the farmer, as soon as he was awakened and had become aware of the extent of the fire and of the rapidity with whin it was spreading, rushed to the room in whin his children wer3. He managed to reach the room, but before he could succeed in his attempt to iescu.) the children the floor fell in, anti he and they were lost in the flames. his wife also, being unable to escape, perished in the fire. One of the servant girls escaped by loving from the window, as the lad had done, but the other was burned to death. The house stood at a considerable distance from any other, and before an alarm could be spread and any aid obtained it was almost en tirely destroyed. The only statement which has yet been made as to the origin of the fire is, that it pro bably arose from the ignitilig of some clothes which were left on a clothes-horse in front of the hearth to dry or air on Saturday night. All day on Sun day great crowds of people from all the districts about visited the scene of the disaster, and much morbid curiosity was manifested respecting the burned bodies, only four of which had - been re covered.
