]HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England, at their Weekly court to-day, as was generally expected, made no alteration in their minimum rate of dis count. In the open market there is no change to report, and first class short dated paper being readily negotiated at 1; 4 per cent. A further sum of bar gold, amounting to £40,000, was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The return of paid clearing for the week ending Sejt. 18, issued from the Bankers' Clearing-house, is as follows—Thursday, 12th, £6,804,000; Friday, 13th, £14,371,000 ; Saturday, 14th, £10,699,000 ; Monday, 16th, £8,863,000 ; Tuesday, 17th, 8,457,000 ; Wednesday, 18th, £8,808,000: total, £57,996,000. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1867. 1866. Great Western 81,766 78,861 North Western ... ...128,992 124,851 South Western ... 30,722 28,534 Brighton 28,560 26,780 Midland ... 61,147 55,175 South Eastern ... ... 33,640 29,871 Groat Northern ... 48,478 41,301 Lancashire and Yorkshire... ... ... 49,540 46,333 Bristol and Exeter... ... ... 8,473 7,522 North Eastern ... 79,258 76,434 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 24,330 22,606 Great Eastern ... ... 37,960 37,227 London, Chatham, and Dorer 15,812 12,943 Metropolitan ... 4,067 3,761 Groat Southern and Western of Ireland... 10,394 10,556 Midland and Great Western of Ireland 5,963 4,955 Glaggow and South Western 12,152 11,100 These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, are generally of a very satisfactory character. On the Great Western there is an increase of £2,905 ; on the North 'Western, of £4,141 ; on the South-Western, of £2,188; on the Brighton, of £1,780 ; on the Midland, of £5,972 ; on the South-Eastern, of £3,769 ; on the Great Northern, of £4,177 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £3,207 ; on the Bristol and Exeter, of £951 ; on the North-Eas tern, of £2,824 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £1,724 ; on the Great Eastern, of £733 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £2,899 ; and on the Metropolitan, of £306. The biddings for £lOO,OOO in bills on India were held yesterday at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were—to Calcutta £99,500, and to Madras £5OO. The minimum price was fixed at ls. 11/d. on Calcutta and Madras—a reduction of 1 per cent. Tenders at ls. Hid. will receive about 21 per cent. ; those above will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills on Bombay were invited. These results show ne active demand, although the price paid, owing to the smallness of the amount offered, is about 1/ per cent. higher than that of a month ago. The Paris Bourse of yesterday was very flat, and all securities freely offered, particularly those in con nection with the Credit Mobilier. Politics do not influence the Bourse just now so much as might be expected, and the French Rentes are quoted 69.30 to 69.20. The French Mobilier fell to 250 f., with a great many steady sellers and no buyers. We are as sured that the balance-sheet of the Mobilier presented to the Bank of France, after thatinstitution has con sented to advance 37,500,000 francs, represented in its port-folio values of no more than 64 millions, showing a loss of 100 millions, and on these figures the speculation relies to sell. The Credit Pencier has also fallen considerably, and is quoted at 1,320. The Italian 5 per Cents. have been 48 75 and 48 65, and we are advised that a special agent has been authorised by . the Italian Government to negociate in London or Paris a loan of 170 millions of francs. The Govern tnent have taken this step to create some immediate resources to avoid the necessity of hurrying the sale of the properties of the Church. It is stated the a dministrators of the Mobilicr have not yet agreed to the arrangement to guarantee the £1,500,000, Upon which depends the payment of 20,000 francs to the syndicate of the Bourse. Two O'CLOCK. The Paris Rentes this morning, according to neuter's telegram, were 69f 85c. Very fiat. All offered. The English Stock Market continues very firm, notwithstanding a great falling off in the number of transactions, both investors and speculators ab staining from dealings to any considerable extent.

The suspicious craft which was reported a f ew days since to be hovering about the coast of Derry is now flitting along the western shore like a will-o'- the-wisp, exciting vague apprehensions, and escap ing her Majesty's gunboats and coastguards con stantly on the alert. A report from Cahirciveen on Sunday announces " something remarkable," and that the " Coastsguards seem as if they expected another rising." From Limerick we hear that on Monday "a strange-looking craft, clipper built, seemingly about 800 tons, and with a black hull" was twice seen sailing to the westward, and from Valentia, that the Imogene has been watching for "a suspicious looking sloop." These rumours show the timidity of people in remote places, but excite little attention here. The authorities, however, are exercising a sound judgment in maintaining a vigilant supervision along the coast. The magistrates at Rathfriland have decided upon sending forward informations for trial at the assizes against the following persons, who are charged with taking part in the Roman Catholic procession John Lennon, John Burns, Francis M'Conville, Daniel Carr, kin., Peter Downey, Daniel M'Con ville, Edward M'Kenna, Hugh M'Alinden, Peter M'Avoy, Daniel M'Alinden, John Heenan (" Hill town Jack"), John M'Alinden, Thomas Toner, Andrew Ryan, Michael Fitzpatrick, Edward Me graw, Peter Burns, and Patrick Connor. Twenty five of the Protestant party were then charged with riot and unlawful assembly. The evidence against them is not yet closed. Another faction fight is reported to have occurred in Athlone on Sunday last. The immediate cause of quarrel was a dispute about land between the Curniffs and the Hugheses. They met after Divine service in a publichouse, and after drinking for a couple of hours the prelude to the fray was delivered in the usual terms—" there ,was not a Hughes that the Curniffs were not able to beat." The Hugheses having by some unaccountable accident forgotten their blackthorns, became scrupulous about the observance of the Sabbath, and thought it would be better to settle the dispute at some other time. The Curniffs not being so piously disposed, urged the propriety of " making a beginning," and leav ing the finishing touches to be applied next morn ing. They enforced their advice by keeping their companions in the room, and then made a beginning on the heads of the Hugheses, which in a very short time would have made an end of them if the pro prietor of the house, actuated by the tenderest motives where liberal customers were concerned, had not succeeded in obtaining an entrance into the room with a party of neighbours and delivered the Hugheses from the hands of their enemies. Such scenes as these are not unfrequent in country towns on the day of rest. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has drawn up a report on the coal trade, which contains some useful infor mation. The value of coals imported is about half a million a year. Until recently no effectual mea sures were adopted to check fraudulent practices, but chiefly through his exertions six weigh houses have been established for the gratuitous use of the public, and competent officers have been appointed to test the weights. As regards the quality of the article sold, he points out a defect in the Act of William IV., cap. 21, which regulates the trade in Dublin. It provides that a price and denomination be stated on a board affixed to the masthead, but does not require, as the Act Ist and 2d of Viet., cap . 110, does for the port of London, that the quality also should be specified. The ave rage yearly revenue to the corporation from the dues upon vessels over 40 tons entering the port amounts to £2,429 a year. The quantity of coals imported annually is 585,900 tons, upon which he proposes to levy off all vessels a charge of ld. or 2d. per ton for weighing upon machines, in the same way as at the pit's mouth, instead of in tubs, as at present. He recommends that the bags for delivery be subject to inspection; that coal carts, like ordinary cabs, be numbered, licensed, and registered, and the drivers badged. The interests of the public require that some such regulations as the Lord Mayor suggests should be made for the prevention of fraud. BOAT RACE FOR MO.—A match took place on the Ouse yesterday for .£lOO between Joseph Sadler, of Putney, and James Percy, of Newcastle. It was won by Sadler by four lengths. DEATH FROM BURNING.-011 Monday Mrs. soother, 82 years of age, residing at Birmingham, was ac cidentally burnt. The deceased had been lighting the gas, and dropped a portion of the binning spill on her dross. She was standing near the window at tho time and the flames set tho curtains on fire. Assistance was speedily at hand, but the poor lady died from the injuries she received. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—The Californian left the Mersey on Tuesday, and the City of Manchester, Kangaroo, West Indian, and Bosphorus yesterday. The only transport now remaining is the City of Dublin, which was injured by the collision with the steamer Ruby. Sh e is undergoing repairs, and will be ready to sail with the afternoon tide of Sunday next- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPITIVIBER 19, 1867. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY MARES AND STOCKS.

MANSION-HOUSE. A JUVENILE BUT EXPERT FORGER. — John Abbot, a boy of about 12 years old, but of very precocious appearance, was charged with forging upon, and obtaining the proceeds from, the National Bank, Old Broad-street, of a cheque for £lO. It appeared that Messrs. Rees, Cree, and Co. kept an account at the National Bank, New Broad-street. Accord ing to the, evidence of Mr. Cooper, the cashier, a cheque purporting to be signed by Messrs. Rees, Cree, and Co. was presented and cashed by him on Saturday last. It was found that it was a forgery. Mr. Rees said that he was a partner in the firm of Recs, Cree, and Co., commission agents, Alder manbury, and that the prisoner was in his service. The cheque produced was not signori by them, although the handwriting was an imitation of his handwriting. It had been torn out of their cheque book. The prisoner had been in their employ 18 months. A City detective officer said that ho went to the offices of Messrs. Rees and Co., where he saw the prisoner, and told him that he was an officer, and that he was come to search him, as he was accused of forging a cheque. He searched him, but found nothing. He then told him that he should have to take him into custody ; the prisoner then said that he was very sorry that he had done it. lie had picked the lock of the desk by means of a skewer which he had got from borne. He had taken out the cheque book, torn out a cheque, and then replaced the cheque book and relocked the door. He then filled up the cheque for £10; it was cashed, and he had spent the money. He said that on the Sa turday he had gone to High Beach with a boy named Robt. Mayland, that he had not given him a farthing. He had bought a watch from a Mr. Kemp, for twelve shillings and sixpence, and exchanged it by paying £2 for one, which the officer stated .was worth £3. He had been to the Grecian on Mon day. The father of the boy was then examined, and stated that he could never make any im pression upon him. He would keep out late at night, and he was continually having rows with him and correcting him. His mother frequently brought him home. The worthy Alderman said he was sorry that so respectable a father should have such an incorrigible son, but he must commit him to the Middlesex Ses sions for trial. Hyppolytte was charged with having stolen a dress coat and vest, the property of a person named Hick, a dining-room keeper at 88, Minories. It appeared that the prisoner is a well-known hanger about houses in the City for the purpose of walking away with any property that was lying about. Sarah Hick, the daughter of the com plainant, said that about half-past four o'clock yesterday the prisoner came into the eatinghouse, accompanied by another man, and ordered two dinners. Shortly afterwards he was seen by the witness from her room going into an other one on the first floor, and going towards the cupboard. She went and told her mother, but when they got there they found he was gone. She followed him, and overtook the other man, when he said it was not he who had taken anything, and ran away. She then followed the other man into Swan-street, and from that into Adam-street, where she over took him. She found he had got an alpaca dress of her mother's, and a jacket of her own. He spoke in excellent English, and begged her not to say anything, but she took him to her mother, who sent for a constable and gave him into custody. The prisoner, who pretended to have not the remotest knowledge of English, obstinately refused to open his mouth. Police-constable Grey stated that he took the prisoner into custody, who stated that he had questioned the prisoner, but he said he had only been going about from one lodging-house to another for some time past. He spoke English well. The witness then searched him, and found upon him the stolen property, and also ten shillings in silver and fourpence in copper, four brass medals, a brooch and chain, with the watch, a lawn-ticket, and a prayer-book. Partridge, the gaoler, said that he had been in the habit of doing this sort of thing, and had last been brought up at Guildhall. lie was sentenced to three months' hard labour. BO IV-STREET. MISTAKEN INTERFERENCE.—An elderly man, named Charles Butcher, was brought before Mr. Flowers, in custody of William Woodup, a mendi city officer, for begging in the Strand, and a young man, named Brown, a carpenter, for interrupting the officer in the execution of his duty. Woodup stated that he was on duty in the Strand yesterday, at about half•past two o'clock, when he saw the prisoner, Butcher, begging of several per sons. He heard one gentleman say, " I won't give you anything ; go away." He also went into a cook shop, and apparently was asking for something. Knowing the prisoner, who had only just served a month's imprisonment, he took him in custody. As he was conveying hint to the station-house Brown interfered, and wanted witness to let the prisoner go. 1% itness told him to mind his own business. lie persisted in his interference, and in a few minutes a crowd assembled, who began to hollow and shout at him, and some mud and stones were thrown, and struck his hat. Brown did not strike him ; but as he was the cause of the disturbance witness took him in custody too. At the station-house Brown said he was sorry for what he had done. Witness had made some inquiries, and found that Brown was a very respectable young man. Butcher addressed the magistrate in a prolix and vociferous harangue, abusing Woodup as a " villain," denying that he had begged at all, and disputing the slightest details of the evidence. lie denied that he went in and out of the cookshop as Woodup had described, but said he was there more nla a n n , e, than half an hour, and eat a f o urpenny ste a k pudding and some plum pudding. lie had been and had laid out i formerly a nth in a wealthy Ala rk and had contributed large amounts yearly to the charities of his nptive town of Arlington, where his brother was now month churchwarden. He therefore felt that if ever he had been in distress, and had asked a gentleman to assist him, it would have been excusable. Mr. Flowers said he did not believe a word of all this (which if true could easily be proved), except that the prisoner had made a very good dinner, as no doubt beggars were generally able to do. For the rest, it might be as well for Brown and many others to know that a profesional beggar was never good for anything. It was here mentioned that the prisoner was well known to one of the constables of the F division, who was acquainted with his family. They had several times set him up in business—once at a cost of £3OO---but it was quite useless, as he spent all his money, and was soon as badly off as ever. Bro tvn said he would not have interfered if he had known Woodup was an officer, but as he was in private clothes witness thought he was an ordinary civilian taking upon himself to convey the prisoner to the station for begging of him. lie was now sorry for what he had done. Mr. Flowers said he would be more sorry if he knew as much of the prisoner as he (Mr. Flowers) did. His experience of the prisoner, who had been several times before him, was peculiarly unfavour able. lie should commit him for one month. The conviction would be returned, and if he were brought up again he would be imprisouel for a long time. Believing Brown to be a respectable man, but mis taken, he :should remand him. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT IN A WOE EHOUS E.—John M'Bride, who was formerly a soldier in the Royal Artillery, and has been for some time an invalid pauper in the Mile-end Old-town Workhouse, was brought up on remand before M r . B enson c h arge d with violently assaulting and wounding Anthony Vacher, another pauper, whose head and face were enveloped in surgical bandages. Mr. Braithwate, solicitor, who is conducting the practice of Mr. Charles Young in the absence of that gentleman from London, appeared for the prosecutou at the instance of the Beard of Guarclidua of Mile-end, and said the wounded man was seri ously injured, and had been under medical treat ment since the 11th instant. The prisoner was influenced by a very revengeful and malignant spirit in committing the assault, which was one of a very dangerous nature. It appeared that the prisoner is a cripple and walks with difficulty. Vacher is a very respectable, well-behaved man, he has bee❑ in affluent circum stances, is the master of several continental lan guages, and since he has been an inmate of the house he has been appointed wardsmau. The pri soner is a very filthy fellow, and received a very bad character from Mr. Macdonald, the master of the workhouse. He had frequent:y threatened to do for him. Ou the 11th of the present month the proseca or came downstairs for his dinner, and was returning, when the prisoner made a fierce and sudden attack upon hiin with his crutch, and beat him on the head. Vacher's hat was cut and full of blood, which flowed copiously from a severe wound. The complainant was stupified by the blows, and his shirt and clothes were saturated with blood. When he recovered he threw pieces of brick at the prisoner, but could not hit him. The prisoner then struck the complainant again on the cheek bone and left arm with the same crutch, and com pletely disabled him. Vacher's statement was confirmed by a witness. The prisoner, in defence, said that Vacher threw water upon him, which was admitted, and in ex tenuation it was stated that the prisoner had been guilty of a filthy act. The prisoner then preferred numberless charges of petty tyranny and oppression on the part of Vacher, which were declared to be utterly groundless. Mr. Macdonald, the master of Mile-end Old Town Workhouse, said the prisoner was dirty and obstinate, and the most troublesome man in the house. Mr. Macdonald then mentioned a filthy act of the prisoner while the inmates of the infirmary were having their dinner. The prisoner did it to annoy the other invalids. Mr. Benson said that the prisoner had met with a misfortune, and was invalided from the army in consequence of paralysis. ..Uhe papers relating to the prisoner's conduct in the army were very favourable to him indeed ; in fact the prisoner pos sessed a high character in the army. It was much to be regretted that the prisoner had forfeited that high character in the workhouse. The assault was was one of a most cruel and unjustifiable descrip tion, and there was no doubt the prisoner was an irritable man. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. Vacher asked if the prisoner was to return to the same ward when he came out of prison. Mr. Benson—The guardians will regulate that ; I have nothing to do with it. Vacher—lf he comos back I will write to the Poor.law Board. MARKETS.---This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Thero was about an averege supply of beasts on sale here to-day. All prime breeds wore in fair request, at full prices, but inferior beasts were a slow inquiry, at late rates. The top quotation was 5s per Blbs. For sheep, the show of which was seasonably good, the sale was inactive, on former terms. The best Downs and half-breds Eold at 5s per 81bs. The general quality of the stock was tolerably good. Calves commanded Monday's currency, with a fair demand. The supply was again limited. Pigs wore held on former terms ; but the inquiry for them was rather heavy. The highest figure was 4s 4d per 81bs.

Last evening a numerously attended general meet ing of the council of the Reform League was held at the offices of the League, Adelphi-terrace, for the purpose of considering certain propositions which had been submitted to the executive committee re specting the forthcoming reform fete and banquet. Mr. Acland, in the absence of AIL E. Beales, the president, was voted to the chair. Mr. MANTLE introduced the subject in the shape of a report from the executive committee, entered into a full explanation of the circumstances, and moved that the report be adopted, and that a sub committee be appointed to co-operate with the com mittee of the reform fete, it being an instruction to the committee not to incur any pecuniary responsi bility in connection with the fete. Mr. B. LANGLEY, in seconding the motion, ob served that he saw plainly that two banquets could not possibly succeed. Under these circumstances he thought their better course would be to join in with the Working Men's Association, and thereby make the matter a great success. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GEO. BROOKE said he was a member of the Working Men's Association, and was present at their meeting the previous night when Mr. Cunnington's suggestion as to inviting Mr. Beaks to preside was entertained. It was accepted in the most generous terms. Mr. Potter distinctly stated that he would at once give place to Mr. Beales, and the meeting cor dially responded to his statement in that respect. There was no question that Mr. Beales was entitled to that position. Mr. OLDING also stated that he was present at the meeting the previous evening, and corroborated what Mr. Brooke had said respecting it. Considerable discussion then ensued, and, ulti mately, Mr. BUSK moved an amendment to the effect that the consideration of the question be adjourned for a week. Mr. WHITFORD having seconded the resolution it was adopted by a majority of 21 to 3. The amendment was therefore declared to be carried, Mr. BROOKE stating that he regretted the decision come to, as if the matter wore adjourned to next Wednesday it would be too late to do any thing in the matter. The meeting soon afterwards adjourned. LONDON IN THE SMALL HOURS.—After 1 o'clock t' - e dead time of the night has come on ; especially when the season is over, and the streets are still and quiet, and London is abed and asleep. It is not till daybreak that the market carts come rolling in, or costerinongers begin to ply their trade, or the street coffee-booths cater for custo mers. I once heard this interval of rust called the turn of the tide—the lull between the ebb and the flow of the great human current ; and I know of no name which expresses better its strange stillness. People have come home from parties, the night trains aro all in, the morning mails have not begun to arrive. The whole population of the streets consists of policemen, houseless folk, and a few belated wayfarers wending their way homewards. Even the world of pleasure—the goodly company of the prodigals and the foclish virgins—has finished its revelry ; and if you quit the main thoroughfares you may walk for ever so long without encountering any human soul, except a policeman on his beat. But in the great central streets there is still a sort of phantom world which rushes as it were to life in these after midnight hours. Once a Week. THE NEW PARLIAMENT. —lt is stated that Mr. Richard Lewis, the barrister, and Secretary of the Nationa: Lifeboat Institution, will be invited to become a represen• tative, in the Reformed Parliament, of one of the I)e'vca. Shiro or COrnwall boroughs. Share COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. British Columbia, 6 per cent., Dec. 31, 1872.... Can.Gcv.s uly 1877-81 Do. 6 p. c. Feb. & Aug o. 5 p. c. Mar. & Sept 1)0. 5 p. c.
