The direct ors o f the Bank of TW England, at their . " ( kly court to-day, made no alteration in their minimum rate of discount. In the general market there continues to be abundant supplies of capital waiting employment, and bank ers and bill-brokers show some anxiety to utilis e their surplus balances ; the rates current for t bt= negotiation of first-class short-dated paper still range from 1i to 1:1 per cent. On the Stock Exchange loans and Government securities front day to day are readily obtainable at 1 per cent. At a meeting of the Imperial Gas Association a dividend of £2 103. per share and a bonus of £1 Per share was declared upon 28,000 shares of the association for the half year ended the 30th June last. Notice has been given by the directors of the National Bank of England that a half-yearly divi dend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, and a bon us of 6 per cent., will be payable on the 10th January next.

The works at the various divisions are progressing fa vourably, though the operation had been limited during the last six months. In conclusion, the directors state that it will be gratifying to share holders, as it has been to the directors, to learn that tile conduct of their present permanent executive st aff has been well reported upon by the chief en g,ineer, whose satisfactio n h as b een expresse d i n n e;•le words :—" Time does not permit me to speak adequately of the satisfactory conduct of the en agineers.

Coote, which left Malta with a clean bill of health, did not receive pratique on arrival at the Piraeus for 15 days after the last death from cholera reported by the Greek Consul, and was sent round to Salamis Bay to pass her quaran tine, receiving pratique on the 7th inst. The anchorage of the Piradus was full of ships of war of different nations. The French had several ships there and the Admiral had not yet been changed. The weather was very unsettled, with variable tempera ture, and some heavy rain had fallen. The master of the English screw steamer Gosforth, which arrived here on the 19th inst. on her way from Kertch to Falmouth, reported having met in the vicinity of the Doro passage, on the 9th inst., a polacca brig, with sails and yards adrift, and apparently with no one on board. By letters since received from Constanti nople we learn that the crew had been taken off the wreck by the English screw steamer Edith, which vessel, after a vain endeavour to tow her into a place of safety, was compelled to abandon her owing to the increased violence of the gale. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Poonah, on her last voyage from England, lost her surgeon, Dr. 11. V. Chapman, two days after leaving Southampton. He went to dinner at 4 o'clock as usual, and, com plaining of a slight pain, retired to his cabin, where he was found dead shortly afterwards, sitting in his chair. Deceased was the oldest surgeon in the com pany's service. Mr. Ozzard, paymaster of the Prince Consort, has been invalided, and Mr. Lively, assist.- paymaster of the Minotaur, flagship of Admiral Warden, has been appointed as acting -paymaster in his place. Her Majesty's ship Endymion, 21, Capt. C. Wake, has just entered Malta harbour, from Marseilles. The prevailing distress, owing principally to the long drought, is causing much anxiety, and a Commission has been appointed by his Excellency the Governor to inquire and report on the subject. Some of the neighbouring countries are even worse off than ourselves. In Tunis there is almost a famine in the land, and the last let• ters speak of six or seven persons dying daily from starvation. Our agent and Consul-General, Mr. Wood, C. 8., had returned to his post. The finan cial state of the Regency continues in a most de plorable condition. We extract the following from the Ada, Cali fornia, of October 10th, 1867 :—We had an idea that the curious calico ores worked at the Lincoln Mines, and at Quail Hill, are something new under the sun, an addition to the many singularities nowhere found but in California. We find, however, that there is just such a formation, and just such calico ores in South America. This may be important to us, as leading to some better esti mation of the practical value of what we have. The calico ore mines of Chili being in every respect similar to those we recently described as being worked in California. They have been worked by the family of Don Emanuel Portally for a century. They are located seventy-eight miles south of Santiago, Chili, and thirty miles east of Roacuaga, Pro rice of Santiago, western slope of Cordilleras. The mine is called Leona, and similar to the Lincoln mines and that at Quail Hill. The vein matter at the Leona mine is several hundred feet wide. MINING MARKET. THURSDAY, TWO P.M.

They are, however, frequentiy overtaken by the fierce equinoctial gales whi , 3ll sweep the Atlantic, and every year several aro lost. Yesterday a telegram received at Liverpool reported the sudden wreck of no less than five of these fruit clippers, all belonging to Brixham and Salcombe. No mention is made in the tele gram of the crews, and it is to be hoped that they were all on shore at the time engaged in packing and sorting the cargoes.

STUART V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY MK PANT. This was an action to recover compen sa.tion in damages for an alleged injury received wh 'de travel ling on the Great Western Railway C ompany's line. Mr. Henry James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Wills appear( a for the defendant. It appeared from the opening statement of the plaintiff's counsel that he, was a retired cr.iicer of the army, who was also engaged in literary pur suits, and that a short time.- since, in March last, he was travelling nu a porti m of the line near London, or rather within the metropolitan area, and whets he entered a:. one of the stations there were two )r passengers in it, and one man had his lugs crossed, and in getting in plaintiff was obliged to take hold on the side of the carriage to steady himself. While be was doing this the door was violently slammed to and the t humb most seriousl y bruised. He did not holloa out, but it swelled up most alarmingly before he got to the next station. He suffered acutely, and was obliged not only to call in medical assistance, but to give up doing work of any description. He was making out of one periodical £lOO by writing for it, and was, since the accident, unable to carry it on now. Ile was also incapacitated from accepting a secretaryship which had been offered him. For these losses, which he attributed to the accident, he now sued the company for compensation. It was urged in defence that the company's ser vants were not guilty of any negligence ; and, in fact, denied that any accident of the kind occurred. A number of porters who were on duty , on that occasion were called, and declared they. knew nothing at all about it, and that no one heard any one complain. It was also alleged that the plaintiff had not given a true description of what he really was, but 'that he had in reality left the Indian army many years ago, and that the situa tion of being a secretary was not a certainty. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. POLICE DiTELLIGENJE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FURIOUS DRlviNa.—Richard Hawkins, a carman, was charged, before ➢lr. Knox, with furious driving. Police-constable Thom, 135 C, said that on the previous evening he saw the defendant ,driving a horse attached to a waggon laden with coals down a narrow part of Park-lane at a furious rate, and after going some distance he drove into a cab and broke the springs. After some difficulty he stopped the defendant, who said that he was in a- hurry to get to his destination. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said he believed the defendant had settled for the damage to the cab. The defendant said his horse ran away, and be could not hold it. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether there was any pretence for saying the horse ran away. The constable said there was not, and that the defendant was urging the horse on. Mr. Knox said he could not pass over a thing which put the safety of the public in danger, and the defendant would have to pay 20s. or 14 days. The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening : KELLEY AND SADLER FOR £3OO A-SIDE. The great scullers' race between Henry Kelley and Joseph Sadler for £6OO and the Championship of the Thames took place this afternoon. Mr. Biffen, the boat-builder, of Hammersmith, was referee. BAL Kelley and Sadler looked the picture of condition. There was a good deal of betting; but Kelley was backed for most money at odds varying from 6 to 7 to 4 on him. There were a great number of the Newcastle men present, amongst whom we noticed Chambers, the late Champion of the Thames, who had come to witness the race between Sadler and his former conqueror. The day was one of the finest we have witnessed for sonic time, which caused an iMmense concourse of spectators to be present. SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINAEY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. I Paid.

WELL-MERITED PUNISHMENT.—Maria Odall, a low, common-looking middle-aged woman, was charged with most offensive and insulting behaviour to a lady named Best, living in Park-villas, Chelsea.

As she was leav:ng the court and about getting into a ctb the defendant came up and, making a lit by noiie with her mouth, spat iu her face. Defendant —You are s% cAring to a great lie, which you did yesterday. Mrs. Ann Barnard confirmed this account. Two other witnesses were called, one of whom, a cabman * said he thought the spitting complained of was the effect of making the offensive noise with the mouth—it was difficult to do it without. Defendant denied the charge, and called three witnesses who swore she never made the least noise or anything else. One of them, however, admitted that she told her not to consult the lady. Mr. Arnold--Had the intentional spitting been proved, I would have committed you (defendant) without a fine. It was clearly shown that you used disgusting and insulting behaviour to the com plainant, and for that I fine you the full penalty of 40s. and 103, costs, or commit you for a month. Defendant (to the lady)—" You sneaking liar, I'll give it to you. You false swearing Mr. Arnold—Bring her back. This having been done, defendant being on her way to the cell, Mr. Arnold—ln addition you will find one surety in £25 to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. A DISORDERLY FELLOW IN A WORKHOUSE. SEVERE PUNISIIMENT.—John Ivory, a stevedore, of No. 2, Lion-court, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and violently assaulting an assistant relieving officer, at the Poplar Union Relief-office. Mr. William Burdett Foster, one of the relieving officers of the Poplar Union, western district, stated that yesterday the prisoner presented himself at the relief offices in a state of drunkenness and de manded relief. He told the prisoner to go home to bed, upon which ,he became very excited and violent, made use of abominable language and threats, and refused to leave the office. With some difficulty the prisoner was ejected. He then com menced kicking and knocking at the doors, and using fearful threats for some time. The pri soner was not attended to, and he became mad with rage, and threw a large stone through the win dow into the office, doing damage to the amount of one shilling. Fortunately the stone did not strike * any one, but it went near the beads of several persons. In answer to Mr. Paget, the witness said that he saw the assault committed upon the, assistant, and gave the prisoner into custody, Mr. Edwin L. Michen, assistant to the relieving officer for the north district of the Poplar Union, stated that upon opening the door of the office leading to the yard the prisoner struck him, upon which he threw him down and shut the door. The prisoner was then making use of very abusive lan guage. Shortly afterwards he heard loud knocking at the other door, and Mr. Foster called upon him to assist in ejecting the prisoner. On so doing the prisoner bit his finger and made it bleed, and like wise tore his coat to pieces. A severe and long continued struggle took place, and ultimately the prisoner was secured and given into custody. The witness produced his damaged coat and exhibited his lacerated finger. John Rye confirmed the statements of Mr. Foe ter and Mr. Michen in every particular, and added, " I saw the prisoner throw a stone through the win dow." Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, two for the assault, and one for wilful damage.

THE sTALIT. Kelley having won the choice of stations took the Middlesex side, and at exactly 14 minutes to 3 o'clock a beautiful start was effected, Kelley's sculls taking the water first, and both rowed at a clipping pace, decidedly even up to off Guy's fields, where Sadler went a little wide. As they neared Craven Point they were nearly dead level. In crossing the water, with Sadler on the Surrey side, they rowed across towards the Soap Works. At this point Kelley began to get a trifle ahead, and at the upper side of the Works was leading by a quarter of a boat's length, and gained still more the further they rowed. Previous to getting to Hammer smith-bridge, both being close together, a foul occurred, but the men were ordered to row on. They started again, Kelley passing under Hammer smith-bridge ahead, when the swell of three tug boats (more disgrace to their owners) sent their surf most unmercifully at the men. A beautiful race took place here, Sadler spurting and rowing up to Kelley, which he answered by ono of the finest efforts ever witnessed, and at the Waterworks was a clear length ahead. On reaching Barnes-bridge Kelley was two lengths clear, and on reaching the Ship at Mortlake Kelley came in a winner by six boat's lengths. . Betting at starting-6 and 7t04 on Kelley. The referee, on being appealed to by the umpires, ordered the men, in consequence of the foul, to row again to-morrow at 3 o'clock. The betting for the deciding race is even money. Eleven steamers accompanied the race. Time.—The time, as taken by Benson's chrono graph, was 23inin. 391 sec. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. These great rivals met yesterday, to contend for £3OO aside and the proud distinction of Champion of the Thames; but the race was undecided, and to-day, at 3 o'clock, will see them again striving for the mastery. The weather was very fine, and attracted a largo number of spectators to Putney, among whom were noticeable Robert Chambers, ex-champion, and James Percy, of Newcastle, Harry Lang, Barratt, and Addy, of Manchester, some of the best of our south country oarsmen, and many gentlemen from Oxford and Cambridge, Mr. Griffith, stroke of the Cambridge beet, Mr. Tottenham, the Oxford coxswain, and Mr. G. B. Michell, of Oxford, the champion gentleman sculler. No fewer than ten steamers accompanied the race, and, thanks to a recent enactment of our Legislature, 30th Viet., cap. 101, by which masters of steamers neglecting to obey the instiuctions given by the Commissioners of Police upon the occasion of regattas, boat races, public processions, ship launches, or any other occasions where large crowds of persons may assemble ou the river, are liable to a penalty of £2O, the steamers were kept astern of the com petitors the whole of the way. Mr. W. Biffen, the. boat builder, of Hammersmith, was referee; Mr. Charles Bush, umpire fur Kelley, and Mr. - Jaeles Messenger, an ex champion, for Sadler. Thu latter was piluted by George Hammerton, and the former by George Drewiit. John Phelps, the Fulham waterman, was judge atMortlake. The men started front opposite the pier at Putney, and both having.stripped and received the phut fits of many thou sands of admirers began the race. Kelley had the Mid lle sex or best station, although Sadler was close to him, and they dashed away at a tremendous pace, Kelley with the lead ; the long strokes of Sadler, how-. ever, soon brought him alongside, and amidst the wil lost excitement Sadler gradually drew ahead, being half a length in front at the London boat-house ; Kelley turned and looked at his man, and as they eyed one another as far as the Dung Wharf it was very evident that the severe pace was telling, and that one would soon give in. Ry this time Kelley had drawn up on the inside, and they commenced a ding-dong race which lasted to the Crab Tree, where Kelley increased the pace, and ere they arrived at the bottom of the Soap -works bridge had obtained a load of three-quarters of a length. Calculating, no doubt, that Sailer was more fatigued than he, and relying, perhaps, too much upon his own strength, ho began to sheer in to take his opponent's Water. Sad ler had a good spurt loft, and now came the critical mo ment. Kelley did his best, but Sadler came with a terrific rush, and before Kelley had drawn across they came into collision. Neither was to blame, and neither had any business to be where he was, but in the twinkling of an eye almost they renewed the race, Sadler going on with the lead ; he did not hold it long, for Kelley rowed him down under Hammersmith-bridge, where we believe another foul occurred, and then the race was over; the champion went ahead, and retained the lead, coming in three lengths in front, confuting the assertions put forth by a sporting contemporary of the wonderful trial of one of the men. Of course the referee became the centre of attra tion , and many were the varied opinions, as usual, upon the capacity of that gentleman ; but referees' de cisions are bound to be respected ; and when that gentle man declared it to be " no race," and ordered them to row again to-day at three o'clock, he met with the applause he deserved from the respectable portion of the spectators. The time by Benson's marking chronograph was 23 uuu• 33} secs. The Warrior (Loudon Rowing Club) will ac company the race again to-day, and leave Loudon-bridge at 2 o'clock punctually.

A FTRAYS WI" 111 PIRATES. (From the Overland China Mail.) The following is an account of the proceedings of her Majesty's ships Grasshopper and Janus since Sept. 27 : Ile two vessels left Hong Kong on the 27th, and made the best of their way to Nimshau, a town or village lying at the head of Bias Bay. The approach was difficult, as no reliable surveys of the approach exist. Oa the morning of the 29th the Gra shopper and Janus got within a practicable distance of the town, and the commander of the latter (who was famished with a boat's crew and the in trines of the Grasshopper) was instructed to communicate with the native authorities and obtain from them information of the precise locality of the town of which they were iu get st —•a place called Shek•tow-liug, where a 1 true aineuut of property stolen from a trading junk had been • carried 'nod conceded. This place turned out to be some two wiles distant from Niwsham, and was given a bad character as the resort of piratical cut-throats. The Janus was accordingly directed to push her way up a narrow creek leading to the town, and anchor in a position to cover the landing of a force from the vessels. Upon searching the town, the goods were found to have been removed, and a large portion of the inhabitants, wisely judg ing that the visit foreboded them no good, had also levanted. Two or three Chinese identified as pirates were, however,.captured, not without vigorous pro test and energetic resistance. One man, a fellow of herculean strength, was Eliot in the struggle which ensued between him and his capturers. It being found impossible to recover any of the pro perty stolen, the landing party were turned to march down to the boats, but were immediately met by a body of armed Chinese, who evidently meant to show fight. The marines opened fire, and they re treated, several of the Chinese being wounded. The party then returned to the Janus with the two men captured, one of whom was the man shot in his en deavour to escape. Efforts were then made to get the Grasshopper close up, but she unfortunately grounded, and remained on the mud for 24 hours in spite of every effort to get her off. At 11.45 p.m. of the 30th she was so far got off that her stern was in deep water, and about this time the typhoon (ex perienced here) commenced. Despite this, the falling tide rendered it necessary to leave her in that position until 10 p.m. of the Ist October. Scarcely, however, had she, by the aid of steam and sail, escaped from her former position than the violence of the wind drove her on the opposite bank, where she remained immovable. The townspeople, however, by this time seemed disposed to come to terms, and, consi dering that the Grasshopper was immovable until the tide rose, they were given till the following day to make the reparation demanded. A deputation from a neighbouring town visited the ship to beg for easy terms for their offending countrymen, and an intimation was given that the property stolen must be returned by ten a.m. of the next day (4th October), or the town would be bombarded. The Chinese, however, seemed to have repented of their intention to come to terms, and the specified time having elapsed, the comman der of the Grasshopper, with the approval of the mandarin on board, decided to carry out his threat. Fire was accordingly opened with shot, shell, and rockets, the practice being very accurate, and by sunset a considerable portion of the town had been destroyed. Ou the following morning the effect of these salutary proceedings be came evident. The chief men of the town came on board and handed ever all the missing property they could collect, with the stipulated compensation for whatever was short. This being accomplished, the Janus was withdrawn from her position, and efforts were made to lighten the Grasshopper by discharging some of her shot, shell, &c. into the Janus. The efforts were not crowned with succ,as until the 12th inst., when she fortunately got off the bank and was enabled to leave her dangerous position. We under stand that the officers and crews of both vessels acquitted themselves most creditably, and we be lieve that the efforts of Mr. Packer, navigating sub- ILutenant, to obtain the necessary surveys has been specially noticed. Altogether we can congratulate Lieutenants Cernmander Patterson and Lloyd upon the success which has attended their cruise. In addition to the foregoing particulars we sub join the following particulars from our morning contemporary :—A curious incident occurred during the bombardment. The Grasshopper was firing per cussion shell, which do out explode until they strike, and to outward appearance it very 'Duch resembles solid shot. It appears that some of the villagers picked up ono of these shells still unex ploded, and were hammering away at the perciksion spot for the purpose of opening it to see what it was made of, when, to their consternatian, it suddenly exploded, killing eight men who were round it. The villagers were so horrified at this that., after the tir, ing was over, happening to find a solid shot, they tntstook it for another explosive devil, and took on board the Grasshopper, carefully wrap i it-el !ix, in matting, and begged the commauder to take it away for foot it should go off as tho other had IF
