MONEY MARKET V al ley. The following al tations AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIONNCit, TWELVE O'CLOCK _ . In monetary and commercial circles there is still a considerable degree of quietude, although in a few instances slight symptoms of improvement have been apparent, owing to the more peaceable aspect of affairs on the Continent. In the general dis count market the demand for accommodation con tinues inactive,-and the fates current for the nego tiation of first-class short dated commercial paper remain unaltered. At the bullion-oflice of the Bank of England there were no gold operations of public interest yesterday. At the meeting yesterday of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, after a length ened discussion, lasting four hours and a half, the report of the committee was adopted. Atlantic and Great Western Reilway Debentures have advanced 1, to 20 27, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds Ik, to 211- 22. The itoman, steamer, from the Cape of Good Hope, has arrived with gold to the amount of about £ 5 ,000 ; the City of Boston, from New York, has brought only £1,500; and the Copernicus, from the River Plate has arrived at Liverpool with £lOO,OOO. The following correspondence relates to the Debt of Venezuela : " London, Oct. 17, 1867. "Dear Sir, —At our recent interview I mentioned to You a plan I proposed two years ago, that t h e Venezuelan bondholders should farm the customs of Venezuela. I now beg to send you a copy of that Plan, from which you will perceive that I propose that a portion of the dividends receivable by the bond holders should be devoted to the construction of rail- Ways, steamboats, and other industrial enterprises cal culated to develope the resources of the country, and that the Government should make a large grant of Waste land to the bondholders in compensation for the sacrifi ces th e y are ca ll e d upon t o su b m it t o . Such an arrangement, under the sanction and guarantee of the British Government by an inter national convention, would not only secure to the British creditors the gradual payment of their claims, but would promote, at the same time, the interests of Venezuela by establishing a sound system of the finances of the country highly beneficial to her nredtt and commerce. Soliciting the favour of your kind opinion on my project, I have the honour to remain, dear sir, yours, &c., (Signed) " J. GERSTENBERG, Chairman of the Committee of Venezuelan Bondholders. " To Mr. G. Fagan, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Caracas." " 8, Bennett-street, Oct. 21, 1867. "Dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of Your letter on the 17th inst., enclosing a plan which You, had prop ose d t wo years ago f or t h e f arm i ng o f the Customs o f V enezue l a b y t h e V enezue l an bond waders. Without entering into a discussion as to the practicability of carrying some of the details of Your plan into execution, I have no hesitation in Stating to you that in my opinion the farming of the custom-houses of the republic by au English c(m upany would be of great advantage to the coun ,rY, whilst it could be made equally beneficial to the bo ndholders. It is notorious, as I informed you N'erbally, that un d er th e presen t sys t em th e i mpor t duties collected in the ports of the republic scarcely a mount to one-thi r d o f w h a t th ey m i g ht pro d uce if the administration of the Customs were properly and honestly conducted.—l remain, dear Sir, yours, S te., (Signed) " GEORGE FAGAN. "To Mr. J. Gerstenberg, Chairman of the Committee of Venezuelan Bondholders." At the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to-day the directors' report, showing the result of the working for the half-year ended June 30th last, was presented. It stated that, in addi tion to the augmentation of the disbursements in the " working account," arising, as above-men tioned, the charges for " coals" have been still further increased by higher rates of freight, and the items of" provisions" and " stores," particularly the former, by the rise in the price of articles in general use. ks regards the " general reserve fund," it is necessary only to remark that, following the course explained in the last report, the directors have re-transferred to "profit and loss account" £5,00, leaving the fund with a credit balance of £4,939 10s. sd. Nothing haying occurred to affect the " insurance account," the directors have only to congratulate the share holders on the satisfactory position of the fund, and O n the substantial returns which they have from time to time derived from it. The directors re commended a distribution of £3 per share (free of Inc ome-tax), including profit from the insurance aecc uilt ; payable by warrants to be issued on the e vening of the 26th inst. The report was adopted. With respect to the markets at Manchester, the Weekly circular of Messrs. Alexander Collis and Co. states as foll ows :— D ur i ng t h e pas t wee k we h ave ha d a brisk demand for goods for nearly all im portant markets, and the advance in cotton has their sellers here to obtain very full prices for our Productions. As compared with last Tuesday, ' r quotations show more buoyancy in several aede scriptions of shirtings, jacoucts, and yarns, but the , e tn aod has been checked to-day by the bank sus lvittrcia at Liverpool. Producers, however, show e inclination to force sales, as they are well en ecil Some of them to the end of the year. Two o'CLocx.

The prisoner was brought from the [louse of Detention in the police van, whi" was guarded in the usual manwr. Mr. Poland attended on the part of the Crown, and Mr. IV. Sleigh defend,' the prisoner. Mr. Poland said since We last examination a very full inquiiy had taken place elsewhere, and from what had transpired on that occasion be did not intend to ask that the woman Jenman should be bound over as a witness against the pri soner. He had not come to that determination from any suppositions, but from actual facts which had come to light in Oa course of certain in quiries which it had been thought right on the part of the prosecution to make with respect to the evidence she had given. He might as well at once state that, dispensing altogether with the evidence] of the woman Jenman, that which he had to offer that day would not carry the case against the prisoner any further than on the last oocasion. Belson, the peion spoken of by the witness Bowler, was in attendance, but his evidence was not2at all of a nature to strengthen the charge against the prisoner ; and that being the case, although there was a strong suspicion against him, it was but right that he should ask whether the magistrate thought enough evidence had been adduced which would justify his committal for trial by a jury on the serious charge that had been preferred against him. The assistant of Mr. Jennings, at whose shop it was supposed the false beard had been purchased, had seen the pri soner, but he could not take upon himself to say that he was the person who had made the purchase. The discharge of Groves at the present time would not prevent the police from carrying on their in quiry with the utmost vigilance, and, in the event of fresh evidence being obtained, the prisoner could again be taken into custody. Mr. Sleigh said, on the part of Groves, he had to thank his friend for the fair manner in which he had conducted the cure against him, and after the statement that he had made, without the learned magistrate expressed a wish to hear further evidence, or thought it to be his duty to send the prisoner for trial, he should not say one word further at that part of the case. Mr. Vaughan said he had already expressed an opinion before the examination of the woman Jen man that the evidence was so meagre against the prisoner that unless it was materially strengthened be could not think of sending the oaso for trial. The evidence of Mrs. Jenman being stripped from the case, it did not appear to him (Mr. Vaughan) now to stand on any surer foundation than it did when Inspector Thomp son gave his evidence on the first examination of the prisoner. lie was glad Mr. Poland had made the statement he had at the commencement of that day's proceeding, as he (Mr. Vaughan) was enabled at once to say that he was of opinion that the case as it at present stood was not one that ought to be sent for trial, therefore from that charge the prisoner was discharged. There was a slight attempt at applause in the court, but it was instantly suppressed. Mr. Poland said be now proposed to proceed with the charge that had been preferred against Groves for assaulting King on the Saturday night in Broad-street, St. Giles's. The evidence showed that the present case was that of an ordinary street row in St. Giles's, and that Groves was the person who inflicted some very severe injuries on King and his companions. Mr. Sleigh said he should not attempt to deal with the present charge oil that occasion. Groves would certainly be conmatted for trial for the assault, but he might here observe that when that charge was heard he should be quite prepared with witnesses to disprove the assertion of the prose cutor (King) that Groves was the aggressor in the first instance. lie hoped the magistrate would allow the prisoner to put in bail for his ap pearance at the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Vaughan did not see that the present charge presented any features different from that of the ordinary charges of assault which were disposed of at the Middlesex sessions, and he should not depart from the ordinary course, he therefore committed the prisoner for trial to the Middlesex Sessions. 1(21 Mr. Sleigh asked that Groves might be ad mitted to bail. The only fact that could be alleged against such a course was that he was found in posses sion of a' dagger when he was taken into custody, but that fact was in his favour, because had he been a person of violent passion and temper he might have used the weapon, which he did not. Mr. Vaughan asked Mr. Poland what he had to say on the subject of bail. Mr. Poland said he neither assented nor objected. He thought such matters were better left to the discretion of the magistrate. • Mr. Vaughan finally decided to admit the pri soner to bail on his procuring two sureties in £lOO to meet the charge of misdemeanour, viz.—of un lawfully wounding and inflicting actual bodily harm on the prosecutor. He should require that 48 hours' notice of the proposed bail be given to the prosecution. The prisoner was then removed. The Attempted Murder of a Policeman. LATEST PARTICULARS -(THIS DAY)• This morning the unfortunate Police-constable George Saunders, No. 153 of the E division, who was stabbed and afterwards shot in North Crescent mews, Euston-road, on Sunday morning last, by a suspected Fenian, is in a very precarious state, and it is now feared that his injuries will terminate fatally. He has since Monday become very wild and excited, and he is in a state of the most intense pain. During the last three days the police have been most actively engaged in tracing the man, who is no doubt a Fenian, that attempted to kill the officer. It is said that Government will offer a reward for his apprehension. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.----Mr. W. R. Griffith; late president of the Cambridge University Boat Club, roplios to Mr. Skoy, that the crow aro perfectly ablo to row back after the race, and that he has never known or heard of an instance of a man fainting or being unable to speak or to rise from his soat. " The result of perfect training is that after a low minutes' rest you are able to undergo great exertion again without injury or weariness. This is particularly e xemplified at Honloy, whor e so me men row three and four races a day. I, myself, rowed three races on the same afternoon at Henley one year, and 1 was just as ready to row each race as if Ihad not rowed groat stress on mon retiring to previously. Mr. Skoy lays their rooms after races at Henley. Naturally when a man is required to row two or throe races on the same after noon ho rusts between each race and keeps as quiet as possible. I know but ono instance of a man being injured by rowing in the university crew, and this was from the trainer of the crow keeping to the antique and exploded rules of training, and neglecting common sense principles and precautions." More harm, Mr. G'ritlltlis thinks, arises from men rowing "untrained" iu short races than from men rowing long and severe races while in good condition. A New York paper says that a brother of Burns's Itighland Mary is an ordnance sergeant a t Newport, Itliode Island, and is SO years of age:_ FALMOUTH, Oct. 22.—The barque Achilles, of Glasgow, 602 tons, Pearnick, master, from Miramiehi for London, with a cargo of deals and salmon, went on shore near Mullion, in Mount's Bay, at 10 on Monday morning in a thick fog; crew saved by coastguard and lifeboat. Lloyd's agents from Falmouth aro on the spot, and the Dandy steamtug has gono to the coast to get the ship off if practicable.

Maguire, a rough-looking fellow, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with being found down the area of No. 38, Conduit-street, Regent-street, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony. Police-constable Richard Caless, 118 C, said that about three o'clock that morning, after watching the prisoner try different area gates in Conduit street, he saw the prisoner go down the area of No. 38, and he then took him into custody, and upon searching him he found in his pockets a knife, a pair of pincers, a piece of candle, and some lucifer matches. in answer to the charge, the prisoner said he did not remember anything about it. He was " a handy chap," and could do anything. Mr. Tyrwhitt said no doubt he could do any thing, and remanded him that he might be seen by the police from the different divisions. SINGULAR BEGGING CAREER.—A strange looking man, who was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and refused , his name, said—l have got no home, and was charged by Mr. Horsford, officer of the Mendicity Society, with begging. Horsford said that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner sitting on a doorstep in Oxford street with his cap in his hand. A gentleman gave the prisoner something, and the prisoner then went into a publichouse and had something to drink, and after leaving the publichouse begged of a female, and he then took him into custody, and with great difficulty got him to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the officer whether ho had seen the prisoner begging before. Horsford said he had. The prisoner had been in custody 29 times, and 26 times convicted. The pri soner was known to him by the soubriquet of " Silly Jack," and had been charged with begging at Bow street, Marlborough-street, Southwark, Clerken well, and Westminster, receiving three sentences of three months' imprisonment,one of two months', 18 of one month, three of 14 days', and one of 8 days'. The prisoner said he went into the publichouse to get half a pint of ale, and because he was resting the constable charged him with begging. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had the power to send the prisoner for three months as a rogue and vagabond, and for that term he should commit him. WESTMINSTER. A VERY UNEXPECTED AND FAVOURABLE CHANGE. —Charles Strickland, a journeyman tailor, of very dissipated appearance, was brought up on a warrant charged with unlawfully pawning a great-coat be longing to Henry Gaten, of 3A, North-street, Sloane-square, and three waistcoats from Mr. Wal ter Burrell, gentleman, of 11, Moore-street, Chelsea. Mr. Gaten said that the prisoner in his absence came to his house and obtained a great-coat from his wife, which he pawned, and iu the course of the next day sent him the ticket. He, however, had not been to the pawnbroker's to see whether it was his coat. Mr. Walter Burrell said that a few days ago he took three waistcoats to Mr. Gaten's shop, and handed them to the prisoner for repairs. Ile had subsequently learnt that the prisoner had taken them to a pawnbroker's anti pawned one, which could be produced. Prisoner said he had sold other coats for Mr. Gaten, and had authority to sell this one. Mr. Arnold—But you had no authority to pawn it or the waistcoats belonging to this gentleman. Prisoner ascribed the whole circumstance to his drunkenness. Mr. Gaten said he did not wish to press the mat ter, as prisoner's wife had promised to get the coat out of pawn. Mr. Arnold—You had no right to come here, get a warrant against this man, and have him taken into custody, if you did not wish to proceed with the charge. Have you any wish to punish this man, Mr. Burrell. Mr. Burrell—None whatever. Mr. Arnold—lie is discharged. THAMES. DESERTION OF CHILDREN.—Robert Hill, with great many aliases, a brickmaker and labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with running away and deserting his two children, aged 3 and 5 years respectively, and leaving them chargeable to the Poplar Union. Mr. James Speatley, relieving officer of Poplar Union, said the prisoner's wife died in September, 1866, and he immediately afterwards sold off his home for £3 and absconded, leaving the two children chargeable to the jJuion. They had been supported by the parish at au expense of £25, which he now demanded of the prisoner, who was apprehended last night in the country by Walton, an officer of the court, who had been seeking after him at inter vals for 11 months. The Prisoner-4 have not had any work all the winter. Mr. Speatley said the prisoner had eluded the constable Walton by many disguises and aliases, and was employed at the new dead-meat market in the City for some time, and afterwards upon other jobs, and he was earning sometimes £1 45., and at other times £2 per week. Mr. Benson—And he leaves his children to be supported by the parish. Monstrous! The Prisoner--I have not earned what the officer says. Mr. Benson had no doubt of the veracity of the relieving officer. It was a bad case of deserting children, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The pri soner was a strong, able-bodied man, and if he did not maintain his children when his sentence expired be would be sent to gaol for three months. Wreck on the Cornish Coast. MULLION, Tuesday, 3.30 a.m. I have much gratification (says the Rev. E. G. Harvey) in reporting the first and successful service of the Daniel J. Draper lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution. At ten o'clock last night, during foul weather, and in a thick fog, the alarm was given that a vessel was in distress off Pollurrain Cove, about a mile and a half from this place. The lifeboat was thereupon launched, and was fortu nately the means of saving three of the men from the stranded vessel. The coastguard men, who were the first to observe her, had meanwhile been able to save the remaining 15 men of the crew by means of the rocket apparatus. The ship was the Achilles, of Glasgow, Capt. David Kinnear, bound from Miramichi to London, with a cargo of timber. Other vessels are also reported to bo embayed, so it is possible the services of the lifeboat may be again called into requisition. This boat was only placed on its station last month. The whole cost of the lifeboat establishment was the gift to the Institution of Wesleyans and other friends in the United King dom, through the medium of the Methodist Recorder, in memory of the late Rev. D. J. Draper, who un happily perished in the steamship London, in the Bay of Biscay, last year. Mr. Draper at the time was on his way to Australia, in which colony he had for many years been au active and zealous minister of the Wesleyan Methodists.

G real 190 100 100 100 100 100 711 E PUBLIC nEALIa (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, October 19, 4,387 births and 2,941 deaths were registered in London and in 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 25 per 1,000 persons li v i ng . The annual rate of mortality last week was 23 rer 1,000 in London, 21 in Edinburgh, and 19 in Dublin; 2G in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Livorpool, 31 in Mauche3ter, 39 in S 27 in ShAiold, 28 in Leeds, 27 in Hull, 29 in Newcastle upon-Tyne, and 28 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 22 per 1,0J3 during the week en.ling the 12th inst., when the mean temperature was 0.4 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 21. The 2,510 deaths registered last week in the ten large English towns, including London, showed a further increase of 78 upon the numbers returnel in recent weeks, the whole of which occirred in London. The unusally low temperature of the first fortnight in October has caused a general increase in the fatality of inflammatory diseases of the or gans of respiration. The mortality from diarrhcea is no longer excessive, but scarlatina is fatally pre valent in Liverpool, Birmingham, and in some parts of Manchester. In London the births of 1,082 boys and 1,089 girls, in all 2,171 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,024. The deaths r egistered in London during the week were 1,332. It was the forty-second week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,280. The deaths in the present return ex - ceed by 52 the estimated number. The number of deaths increaged from 1,233 re gistered in the week ended Oct. 12 to 1,332 last week. The deaths from diseases of tho brain and nervous system, the respiratory organs, and the heart exhibit an increase. Zymotic diseases were not so fatal as in the preceding week, and the znor tality from diarrhoea is rapidly declining, 37 cases were registered last week ; the numbers in the four previous weeks were 114, 108, 78, 59. The son of a bricklayer, aged 6 months, died on Oct. 12, at 14, New-lane, St. John, Southwark, of "infantile cho- I era, 4 days." The daughter of a labourer, aged 3 years, died on Oct. 12, at 3, Gaywood-court, Lon don-road, Southwark, of " choleraic diarrhoea." A charwoman, aged 76 years, died on Oct. 12, at the East London Union Workhouse, Homerton, of " exhaustion from want." The daughter of a packer, aged 21 months, died on Oct. 16, at Guy's Hospital, having been " accidentally poisoned by drinking carbolic acid." Post mortem. (Inquest.) The deaths of three persons who were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were registered. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.599 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29.43 in. on Sunday, Oct. 13, to 29.77 in. on Wednesday, Oct. 16. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 52.5 degrees, which is 2.4 degrees above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 64.8 deg., on Monday, the 14th of October. The lowest night temperature was 39.6 deg., on Sunday, the 13th October. The entire range of temperature during the week was, therefore, 25.2 deg. The mean of the highest tem perature of the waters of the Thames was 49.1 deg. ; that of the lowest was 46.2 deg. The difference be tween the mean dew-point temperature and air tem perature was 3.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.72 in. Ozone was observed on four days during the week. The general direction of the wind was S.W., S.S.W., and S.E. According to a return furni lied by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the River Thames at the Southern Outfall Works, Crossum, was 51,151,355 gallons, or 232,401 cubic metres, equivalent to as tuluy tons by weight. 111.1IIKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, and generally in poor condi tion. The demand for both rod and white qualities was inactive, and to force sales a reduction must have baen sub mitted to. In foreign a small retail business was concluded at barely Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain have changed hands slowly en easier terms. There was a fair inquiry for barley, but prices were tending downwards. The malt trade was steady at late rates. There was a good supply of oats, which have been rather cheaper to purchase. Beans and peas were offered at lower pricer, but the de mand was dull. Linseed and rapeseed rulod firm in prico, but agricul tural seeds were in little request. Cakes sold slowly, at late rates. The flour trade was very dull, and Monday's prices were barely maintained.
