ONEY .MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGINCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for accommodation has been rather More active, consequent upon the preparations made to meet the commercial engagements clue on the 4th instant, and bankers a n d bill b ro k ers i n th e open market demand slightly enhanced rates, the cur rent quotations for first-class short-dated paper being 12- per cent. Messrs. Pixley Abell and Langley, in tb..llr bul lion circular, state that the demand fo'r gold, al though not so active as last week, has been suili- Ci ently so to a b sor b a ll th e arr i va l s, together with about £ 1 97,000 withdrawn from the Bank in bars and coin. The Overl an d Mail reports Vie shipments of gold durin g September to amount to £320,000, making the total of gold now on the way from Australia up to £757,000. The Atrato has brought silver from the West Indies to the extent of about £36,000 ; this has bee n soldat 6O/1 to 600. per oz. standard. The demand is entirely for Holland, the shipments to t he Lad having quite ceased. The dollars by the " m e ship were about £250,000, and a large amount Was left behind at Vera Cruz, which will be b rought by the French steamer. The price for the ab eve has not ye t b een sett l e d , the market being ra ther quiet, and the demand existing being only for reaning purposes. The nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per ounce. The specie movements during the past week have been on an extensive scale. The imports have amounted to about £883,205, including £420 from by York b y t h e Weser, £130,000 from Austral i a u Y the Suss ex , £198 ,03 6 b y t h e Bl ac k wa ll , £ 48 9 , 4 00 'tool the West Indies and Pacific by the Atrato, £60,599 from the Brazils by the Oneida, and £250 from Alexandria by the Nyanza ; about £4,500, elli eflY in silver, has also been received from the continent. The exports have been confined to remittances to the continent through private sources, estimated at £743 ,075. thl‘ir• Rawkins, the chief clerk to the Master of e R Ous, yesterday directed a second dividend of ~3 * In the p oun d to b e pa id to t h e cre di tors of the 'ew Zealand Banking corporation, which stopped pa yment in May, 1866.

(Front the Natien.) Tho losses which tho Republican party has sustained in every election that has occurred during this year, amounting to positive defeats in Connecticut, California, and Pennsylvania, and a loss equivalent to a defeat in Ohio, make it necessary to survey the whole field, and consider dispassionately what political course the country is likely to take, what probability there is of the restora tion of the Democrats to power, and what effect such an event may have upon the country. The actual losses of the Republicans are a governor in each of the States of Connecticut and California, sev en members of the House of Representatives, and two United States Senators. The diminution of the Republican ma jority in the States which have thus far voted, as compared with last year, is in round numbers 107,000, viz.: 16,000 in Maine, 1,500 in New Hampshire, 2,700 in Vermont, 1,000 in Rhode Island, 1,500 in Connecticut, 19,000 in Pennsylvania, 40,000 in Ohio, 10,000 in lowa, and 15,000 in Californa. Theo is every reason to suppose that the States which hold e!ectiouS in November will increase this fignro to 200,000, or about ono-half of the Republican majority in the Northern Satos. Tho result of tho elections in New York mLy easily be foreseen. The Democratic majorities in Now York and Brooklyn will be reduced nearly 10,000 by the light vote, but the Republican majorities in the interior (amounting last year to 70,000) will ha re , lncr , l by 30,000 or 40,000. in each of the counties of Albany, Rensselaer, and St. Law rence there will be a Republican loss of some 2,000 votes, in each of a dozen strong Republican counties, such as Allegany, Cayuga, Caautaugaa, Onondaga, &c., there will be a loss of 1,000 votes or more, and a smaller loss in almost every other county. This leaves the Democratic ticket a majority in the State of from 7,000 to 15,000, which, unless some unexpected change occurs before the election, it is tolerably certain to have. These unfavourable results, however, are by no means conclusive indications of tho prospect for 1868. The Democrats have made no actual galn in votes, except in Connecticut. Their victories have boon won in conse quence of the apathy or temporary disgust of Republicans. Of course it is possible for the Republican party to act so unwisely as to drive into the opposite ranks those who have this year simply stayed at home. But unless groat follies are committed, New York and Indiana are the only largo States which can be doubtful in 1868, and the Republican candidate is sure to carry 150 of the 217 electoral votes no w recognised. If the South is reconstructed on the Congres sional plan (and its vote upon any other basis will not be counted), the Republican majority will be increased. Sup posing, however, that by the defection of Pennsylvania and Illinois, as well as Now York and Indiana, a Demo cratic President should be elected, with a House of Repro sontavos in sympathy with him, the Republicans have 34 of the 54 Senators until 1871 beyond doubt, with a moral certainty of retaining 30 until 1873, and a certainty that may fairly be called 'absolute of retaining 27 Senators until that time. Sixteen Republican Senators hold over until 1873, thirteen until 1871, and o!. those who retire in 1869 six are from the States of Maine, Massachusetts, Mi chigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Vermont, which no one can pretend to consider doubtful, and one from Ten nessee, who will be chosen by the present Logislaturo within a few days. Of the Senators retiring in 1871 seven are from lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota (a Johnson man), and Rhode Island, which are not doubtful States, besides two from New Hampshire and Tennesso. Our figures are therefore in side the bounds of reasonable certainty. If the Southern States are restored, it will be wijh at least ten Republican Senators (from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Souili Carolina) out of the twenty to which they will be entitled, and probably more. Thus it appears certain that the policy of Congress cannot be reversed for six years to come, except by a change of views within the lines of the Republican party or by some act o[ revolutionary violence. Against the latter danger. we are protected for at least another year by the fortunate circumstance that the governors of all the great central States, having at their command all the available militivliqCe of the country, aro thoroughly in sympathy with Congress, and woUld bring a power ful and well-organised body of troops to its aid in case of any outbreak. This consideration has made the result in Ohio, where alone a governor was elected this mouth, ono of groat importance. If the Democratic candidate had been elected there, Mr. Johnson might have felt much more disposed to try issues with Congress than ho will feel now. Tho moral effect of defeat this fall is, upon the whole, likely to be healthy to the Republican party. Its leaders will surely see the necessity of greater discretion, of using wiser means to attain the desired end, of abandoning schemes of local and private advantage, and of concentrat ing all the power of the party upon the main issues. The last point has become plain to them, and it is clear that 801110 minor issues are to be abandoned. Whether Penn sylvanians can reconcile themselves to the obvious deter mination of the Wrest to resist any further increase of the tariff, and whether the Wrest can refrain from tampering with the currency to the rain of the East, are questions yet undetermined. A wise for bearance upon all questions unconnec'ed with reconstruc tion, and a vigorous enforcement of the policy of recon struction already inaugurated, will yet give the Republi cans a victory iu 1868. If, as wo hoar iu the general wish of the party in the West, and of a large portion of it in the East, Mr. Pendle ton is to bo the Demccratic candidate in 1868, the national credit will be at stake in tho contest, even more than the question of reconstruction. Mr. Pendletou's financial theories aro undoubtedly popular within his own party, and may pleas° some thouhtless Itvubileaus iu the West, where comparatively little of the national debt is held. The managers of the late Democratic Convention in this State had great difficulty is preventing it from committing itself to the support of Mr. Pendletou's views, which they woro shrewd enough to know would be fatal to the party in this State, where so vast an amount is invested in national securities. Mr. Hoffman deserves great credit for his emphatic assertion of the duty of good faith on the part of the nation ; and we should be glad to bopo that the counsels of such men would prevail in the party at large. But the nomination of Mr. Voirllctoh would b au act of open war upon tho patio/AO debt, and would, we think, secure a Republican victcry on the Atlantic shore. The completion of reconstruction will remove one of the embarrassments of the Republican party, though it may also deprive it of a popular issue. Tho work, when accom plished, cannot be easily undone, whereas the process keeps the country in a disturbed state. The efforts of 31r. Johnson to hinder its completion do not help his party ; but so long as its success remains doubtful there will bo a good deal of natural vacillation in the minds of well meaning men. Success is the final test of all such expe riments in government ; and until its success has been demonstrated many supporters of the Congressional po licy will hesitate at each new step that may bo required. It seems probable that the recent elections will make Southern R-publieans at once more prompt and more moderate thin they might otherwise have been. They will see the nece3shy of maintaining harmony among themselves, and of finishing the work of restoration with out delay. The eilourod voters will net reject the aid of white Southerners when offered in good faith ; and by 1868 the Republican party may assured of a real and lasting majority in several of the Southern States. Unlimited success in the Northern elections might easily mislead our Southern allies into a ruinous into'crance, of which thorn have already lneu some indications. We believe that the late seemingly untoward events ra•my thus be fruitful of good to the whale country. Share, StrARE LlbT.—This Day. --4. ORDINARY MAIMS AND STOCKS.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 1. The case for the defence having closed, Mr. Sey mour and Mr. Sergeant O'Brien addressed the court for their respective clients. The Learned Judge then summed up the evi dence, and, after nearly two hours' deliberation, the jury returned into court with a 'verdict of guilty against all live prisoners. The Clerk of the Court, addressing the prisoners individually, asked them what they bad gut to say why the Court should not proc.!ed to pn.s.s sentence of death upon them according to law. Allen—l wamt to speak. Gould-1 am going to reply to that. Mr. Justic;) Blackburn sail lie .soul l hear Allen fust. The prisoner Allen then sai-I-- 7 My lords and gen tlemen, it is not my intuition to occupy much of your time in answering the question. You, gees ion is one that can be easily asked, but requires an answer which I ant ignorant of. It is a question which a much abler man than the could not answer. Where were the men that stood in the dock ? where were Burke and Emmett and others that stood in the dock in defence of their country ? When the question was put to them what was their answer ? Their answer was null and void. Now, with your kind permission, my lord, I will review portions of the evidence that has been brought before me. Mr. Justice Blackburn—That, you know, is too late; probablyyou don't understand it. The evidence has been commented upon, and the jury have found their verdict, and we have no power or right to alter it. If you have anything to say to show reason why, either upon technical or moral grounds, sentence should not be passed we will hear it ; but the time to review evidence to show the verdict is wrong is too late. Allen—Can that be done in the morning ? Mr. Justice Blackburn—No. It cannot be done at all. The evidence has been carefully considered by the jury, and their verdict has been passed, and no power of the judges or of the law can alter it in any way. If any application is to be made to the mercy of the Crown or to the equitable considera tion of the Crown, if it can be shown that there is any mistake, it must be shown elsewhere and after wards. We can now only consider the verdict to be right, and the question is have you anything to say why judgment should not follow ? Allen—Yes, yes ; I have much to say. contradictions in the depositions which had not been brought under their lordships' notice. It had been sworn that,a stone had fallen upon his head, which it was remarked at the time would have killed au elephant. There was not the slightest mark of that stone on his head, and if he and the witness went round the country exhibiting themselves, he as the man on whose head the stone had fallen without injuring him, and Mr. Batty as the man who had seen it, he could fancy which would at tract most attention. Ile had no intention of tak ing life, and had nothing to do with it. if some thing of this kind had teen done in Italy to r,.:Pcue Garibaldi, it would have been cordered bold and darinp• action, and have been apiJauded; but in Enjtn:l it was a crime. lie should leave the world without a stain upon his conscience. lie was an American citizen, and belonged to Ohio. llis last words should be, " God save Ireland." Gould and several other of the prisoners reve rently repeated the words. Mr. Justice Mellor, in an impressive address, passed sentence of death upon all the prisoners, and they were immediately removed from the dock, uttering expressions evidently intended to show recklessness of their fate. THE GO UNZ ERFEIT SEVEN-THIRTIES. Treasury Department, National Currency Bureau, Oct. 12, 1867. Sir,—ln accordance with your instructions, 1 have the honour to make the following report in reference to the counterfeit seventy-thirty notes of the denomination of One Thousand Dollars, two series, dated June 15, 1865 : The notes of this denomination and series were all printed in this Department, with four notes upon each sheet ; and the notes were lettered respectively with the check letters AB C and D. All the coun terfeits yet presented bear the check letters A. and B; I have yet seen none with either C or D. It may well be, however, that C or D are in circula tion, because both the A and B notes arc evidently printed from one and the same plates. The check letter having been altered by the counterfeiter after printing a portion; the plate, therefore, may have been altered to C or D after printing the A and B. The most obvious points of difference between the genuine and the counterfeit notes are—first, in the size of the seal ; second, in the numbering ; third, in the central vignette ; fourth, in the border of lathe work ; fifth, in the counters ; sixth, in the Treasurer's signature. The details of the differences are as follows :--First—The counterfeit seal is one sixteenth of an inch larger than the genuine, and this difference in size is due to the points alone, the counterfeit points being larger than the genuine. The central portions of the seal are of the same size in both counterfeit and genuine. The ink of the counterfeit seal is of a lighter red than the genuine. Second—The numbering. The figures of the coun terfeit numbers differ in shape, particularly in the figure four, and are printed with a dif ferent ink. The genuine ink has a metallic lustre, while the counterfeit is dull and leaden. Third—The central vignette. The expression of face in the counterfeit female figure is very dif ferent from the genuine, as the eyes are larger and more open, the chin longer, and the neck narrower than in the original. Convolutions of the line form ing the clouding at the right of the female figure are more flattened in their curves in the counterfeit than they are in the original, and .the clouding used in the figure is slight and indistinct in the counter feit, making the space between the figure and the words Treasury Department lighter in the counter feit than in the genuine. The letters forming the word " Pluribus" on the shield, at the left hand of the figure, are well defined in the original ; but on the counterfeit they are irregular and confused, and the lines do not form perfect letters. There are many other minute points of difference in the central vignette, particularly in the drapery, which a careful examination and comparison will disclose. Fourth—The borders. In the border of the coun terfeit note the black central star has points of very irregular length, while the genuine are perfectly uniform and regular in their length. The coun terfeit has more white space about the central star than the genuine, . and the black dots around the white space, which are perfectly concentric on the counterfeit. The white lines about the star in the coupon border are larger and clearer 'in the genuine than in the counterfeit, and the work between the star in the counterfeit is confused and indistinct, giving the counterfeit coupon border a muddy look, while the genuine is clear and sparkling. Fifth— The counters. In the black counter of the one thousands, the central spurs of the figures are nearer to each other in the counterfeit than they are in. the original, and the cyphers are more oblong in the counterfeit than in the genuine. In the green tint counter of one thou sands, the round spur at the left foot of the figure one on the genuine note cuts into the heart•shaped centre of the lathe work, while in the counterfeit it is entirely clear of it. Sixth—The Treasurer's sig nature. In the first letter in the Treasurer's signa ture the crossing of the ends of the hair lines of the upper and lower portions of the letter " F " in the original form a small triangular space of white, and this white space is wanting in the counterfeit. In the genuine note there is a well-defined cross-line on the top of the capital " U," in the word United under the Treasurer's signature ; but in the counter feit there is only a faint line connecting the tops of the latter. There are many other points of difference not necessary to detail, as those above recited will lead any expert to detect them. The back of the counterfeit note has many striking points of difference from the genuine. Among them it may only be necessary to notice that the cycloid work upon which the words " pay to bearer " are en graved are much darker and heavier ou the counter feit than it is on the genuine, the counterfeit lines being rough, while the genuine arc sharp and clear. The square tablet which enclose s th e cyclo i d work is in the counterfeit nearer to the tablet which en closes the terms of option than it is in the original. In the date of the option " Th" after June 15:h is near to the figures 1868 in the genuine, while in the counterfeit the " Th" is some distance froai the figures. The export, in notici ng th e diff erences, will scarcely fail to Notice many of the others which exist, but with which it is deemed unnecessary to extend this report in detail. L. M. eL,knli. Chief First Divisioti; - National Currency Bureau. There are many points of difference in the coun terfeit notes which Mr.M. M. Clark, Chief of the Printing Bureau, did not deem necessary to include in the above report„there being so many of them —one of which, in addition to the others hereto fore mentioned, may be of service in detecting the false issue. In the counterfeit notes the lines forming the right shoulder of the female in the central vignette do not came up to the sword, but leave a white space. In the genuine note the lines are not only more numerous, but they come clearly and distinctly up to the sword. -- Wall-street Journal. EMBEZZLEMENT. —Yesterday, at the Liverpool Police-court, John Richardson, a clerk employed by the Mersey Steel and Iron Works Company, was committed for trial on the charge of embezzling £l,OOO or thereabouts, tho property of his employers. Suspicion was excited by an account of £5OO odd not having been entered, and on being questioned the prisoner at once admitted his guilt. jIITIIE GROUNDING OF TIIE HUDSON.—Commander P. Pratt, of the America' packet ship Hudson, which lately got ashore in the Thames, off East Greenwich, has addressed letters severally to Captain Shaw, superinten dent of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and Captain Tuit, principal dockmaster of the East and West India Docks, thanking them for the prompt assistance and personal kindness rendered by them and the men they directed on the occasion of the calamity. Commander Pratt writes, "At such times the sympathy of friends is invalu able, and can never be forgotten." The Hudson is now in the London Docks.

I positively say, in the presence of the Almighty and everlasting Judge, that I am as innooent as any man in this court. I don't say this for the sake of mercy. I want no mercy. I will have no mercy. I will die where many thousands have died for the sake of their beloved land. In the defence of that land I will die proudly and defiantly. We are asked why sentence of death should not be passed upon us. On the evidence of prostitutes, on the evidence of fellows out of work, and convicted felons, an Irishman is sentenced to be hung, when an English vagabond would get off. I say positively and de fiantly, in this court this night, that justice has not been done me in regard to what I have done in defence of my country. I am fearless of the punishment that can be inflicted upon me. I return to Mr. Seymour and to Mr. Jones my sincere thanks for their able defence, and also to. Mr. Roberts the same. My name is Philip Allen. I was reared in Brandon, in the county of Cork. I am proud of my country, and proud of my place. My lords, I have done. The prisoner Larkin said,—My lords and gentle men, I am only going to say a word or two con cerning Sergeant Brett, as my friend has said. I believe no one in Court regrets the man's death as much as what I do. In regard to the charge of pistols and revolvers, and using them, I neither used revolvers, pistols, nor any instrument on that day that would deprive the life of a child, let alone a man ; nor did I go with the purpose for to take life away. Certainly, my lords, Ido not want to deny but I did go to the aid and assistance of them two noble heroes that was lying in that van. Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy. I did go to them, and did as much as lay in my power to extri cate them out of the bondage they lay in at the present time; but I did not go for to take life, nor my lords, any one else. Misfortunately, there was life taken, but if it was taken, it was not done in tentionally ; nor the man that has taken life—you have not got him. My lords, I believe he is not here at present. I was at the scene of action, where there was, I dares ty, over 150 people standing by there as well as what I was. Sorry am Ito say it, my lord, but some respectable people came as wit nesses against me. I thought they were, but they were no such thing. So far as my trial went and the way it was conducted I believe I got a fair trial, and so far as my noble counsellors went they have done their utmost in the protection of my life. Likewise my worthy solicitor, Mr. Roberts, done his best; but I believe it is an old saying and a true saying, " What is decreed before man in his pas sage through life he has to fulfil it,—either the gallows, or drowning, or a fair death on the bed or on the battle field. So, my lords, I lie at your mercy and the mercy of God ; and may God for give all those who have sworn my life away, as I do from the bottom of my heart ! He concluded emphatically—God forgive them ! The prisoner Gould said the witnesses against him had sworn what was false. He never threw a stone since ho was a boy, and he had no pistol in his possession on the day of this alleged outrage. His name was Michael O'Brien. lie was born in the county of Cork, and he had the honour to be the follow-parishioner of Peter O'Neal Crawley, who was killed in defending the port at Mitchells town against British troops last March, and fell fighting against British tyranny in Ireland. lie was a citizen of the United States of America. If Charles Francis Adams had done his duty towards him, as he was paid for doing, he would not be in that dock answering the questions. He wrote to Mr. Adams, but Mr. Adams did not come to see if he could find funds to disprove the charge, which he possibly could, if he had taken .the trouble of sending or coming to see what he could do. He hoped the American people would notice that part of the business. Ireland had a beautiful climate and scenery, but where was there ashadow of liberty or a spark of glad life among the plundered and persecuted inhabitants ? He hoped that its im becile and tyrannical rulers would be for ever driven from her soil amid the execrations of the world. The English aristocrats moralised over despotism in Naples and other countries. Mr. Justice Blackburn interrupted the prisoner, remarking that it was entirely for his own sake that he did so. What the prisoner was now saying would not prevent the sentence of the law being passed. He advised him to say nothing more of that sort. Gould —Ky lord, I prefer saying it. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Very well. Gould proceeded to say that the English aristo crats should look at home and see the misery there. Ile concluded by saying that he had been improperly identified, and that the witnesses had sworn falsely. He thanked his counsel and attorney. The prisoner Maguire denied having been .there at all. lie said this was the third time ho had come home on furlough, that he had spent ton years in her Majesty's service, and had not been long enough in England to know or conspire with any one. He had written to his officer, Captain Jones, of the Princess Royal, for a character, and if ever an innocent man had been tried before his lordship he was that man. He had never . been near the place, and would not know his way out to Bellevue ex cept he was shown, having never been in that direc tion in his life. It was a hard thing to be sentenced in the wrong. Nevertheless, he gave his best thanks to those who had conducted his case. It was one of mistaken identity altogether. Shore said he would not say much, for it cam© upon Lim altogether by surprise that a man could be convicted of murdering a man whom he did not know and had never seen. He did not want to de tain his lordship, but could not help remarking that Mr. Shaw had come to gloat over his victims, after swearing what was altogether false, and there were BIC ITIS II r Atlantic St.l,avcrenec Rom., Baroda, Ccadn. gu. 6 per oent• • •• • • Du.

We must observe, however, that there is ono clause in the measure which for some unintelligible reason is not .to have any force until the Ist Jan., 1863. It may be advi;;Abl, to state, by wey of preface, that in the meaning of the Act the metropolis comprises the city of London an 1 all parishes and places for the time being within the jar;sliction of the Motropolitan ira trd of Work s. The " limits" cotitem plated by the Act co:n)rise all distances within four miles of Charing-cos. The " speci.:l limits" are such streets and portion.; of streets as- may be (le clare:l special by the proper authorities. The first general regulation is the one which will not come into operation till January, 18'33. It provides that " no person shall, between 1') o'clock in the morn ing and 7 in the evening, in any such streets as may be named by the C.mimissioner of Poliee, remove any dust, ashes, .or refuse from any house." It will be seen from the enstruction of this chine that it is both exceptional and special. Section No. 6 pro vides " that no goods or other articles shall be allowed to rest on any footway or other part of a street within general limits (as explained above) for a longer time than may be absolutely necessary for loading or unloading such goods or other articles.' It also contains the important provision " that, for the purposes of this Act, the surface of any space over Which the public have the right of way that intervenes in any street within the general limits of this Act between the footway and the carriage way shall, notwithstanding claims by prescription or otherwise to the deposit or exposure for sale of any goods or other articles on such surface, be deemed to be part of the footway." This sec tion, -though certainly rather complicated in grammatical structure, is one , of the most important clauses of the measure. The penalties under this and thepreceding sections are not to exceed 40s. Sec tion 7 prohibits the driving of cattle through streets within the general limits between 10 in the morn ing and 7 in the evening, except with the permis sion of the Commissioners of Police. Section 8 in cludes a provision which, we believe, will conduce largely to the convenience and, consequently, to the comfort of the public. It provides "that within general limits the driver of any metropolitan stage carriage shall not stop such carriage for the purpose of taking up or setting down passengers at any part of a street except as near as may be to the left or near side of the roadway. Section 9 sets forth " that no picture, print, board, placard, or notice, except in such form and manner as may be ap proved by the Commissioner of Police, shall by way of advertisement be carried or distrbuted in any street within the general limits of the act, by any person riding in any vehicle or on horseback, or being on foot." This section, it may be ob served, does not apply to the sale of newspapers. It may be asked by some exacting critic, " Would the Act be violated if the advertisements, &c., enu merated in this section were exhibited on the back of a donkey ?" We are afraid that a magistrate would find considerable difficulty in deciding the question under the terms of the Act of Parliament. How ever, we must leave the arrangement of the matter to the prudence of our magistrates and the wisdom of our legislators. Section 15 provides, "That be tween 10 o'clock in the morning and 6 in the evening no coal shall be loaded or unloaded on or across any footway within the special limits of this Act, and between the same hours, and within the same limits, no casks, whether empty or full (wine or spirits in casks excepted) shall be lowered or drawn up by means of ropes, chains, or other machinery passing across the footways or any part thereof." Why wine or spirits should have special privileges is rather unintelligible, while the clause certainly does not prohibit the raising and lowering of casks, &c., on men's shoulders, which may be easily done. Section 16 prohibits " the obstruction by unwieldy burdens of special' thoroughfares between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.," and to this the curious .annotation is appended, " Any will, or order, or regulation made, or to be made within the city of London and the liberties thereof that is inconsistent with this section shall be void." Section 17 provides that every cab shall carry a lighted lamp after nightfall, and at all times any mark or plate the Commissioner of Police may require. No fare is to be less than ls. for any hack ney cartiage hired while "standing on any stand.' With regard to straying dogs, the police may take possession of any dog found in the streets within the metropolis, not under control of any person, and may detain such dog till the owner has claimed the same and paid all expenses by reason of such detention. Ferocious and dangerous dogs may be killed by the order of ain igistrate. By section 18 it is stipulated that certain shoeblacks and commissionaires shall . have authorisation from the police, while protection will be afforded to them against those who are un authorised. Section 23 gives power to arrest bet ting men without warrant who assemble to the number of three or more. Yesterday costerinongers and betting men seemed to be greatly disconcerted by the operation of the act, but there is no doubt that when " the special limits" are more accurately defined the enforcement of the measure will con. duce to the advantage and, at the same time, to the safety of the community ; for it must be remem bered that some 200 persons are annually killed in the thoroughfares of London.

We are requested to insert the following : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l desire to draw attention to a point with reference to the Atlantic and Great Western Rail way that seems to have been overlooked. It will be remembered that the debenture debt was created in 186 E under the authority of the three Atlantic and Great Western Companies chartered by the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. At the time of the issue of the debentures the extent of the mortgage debts of the three companies was well known to be restricted to certain amounts, and it was supposed, and so stated, that the value of the property of etch c mip.lny was greatJt than the amount of mortgage debt, of each company. Hence a, certain credit was attached to each corporation, and the debentures therefore obtained pur chasers, it b.;ing known that whatever balance, if any, that might be. duo to the holders there of, after the sale of the collateral securities, would be a claim upon the respective companies. A. year afterward:, under acts of consolidation passed by the three States, the three companies were dissolved, and a new company. was furnied. By a clause in each of the Acts of Consolidation the property of the three companies was transferred to the new company, subject to all the debts of the three companies. Subsequently, a mortgage of 30 million dollars was created by the new company against the property so acquired, and the general impression Ls that that mortgage outranks the de benture debt. Such, however, is not the case, be cause the property ac q ui re d by the new company was, by the legislative enactments, liable to all the debts of the individual companies, and the consoli dated mortgage, therefore, covered the property, subject to the restrictions upon it, and thogo restrictions consisted in the property being responsible for the debts hitherto incurred by the respective companies. A railroad company obtains credit, not by reason of its being a corporation, but by reason of its having property. It would be a monstrous thing if the Legislature of a State could authorise a company to part with its property to another company, without providing for the pay ment of its debts. But the Legislatures of Ohio, l'enusylvania ' and New York took care of the cre ditors of the three original companies ; they would not permit the companies to part with their property without securing their creditors. it.-:otne doubts have been expressed as to the solidity of the Consolidated Bonds, but it is immaterial to the Debenture holders whether those bonds are valid or not, as the deben tures rank first after the divisional Bonds, and the Consolidated Bonds come afterwards.—l am Sir, your obedient servant, iv.
