HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELTAGENcE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the weekly court of the directors of the Bank of England this morning no alteration was made in the minimum rate of discount, which still remains at 2 per cent. In the general discount market there continues to be a very limited inquiry, the rates current ranging from 1 to 1I per cent. The City of London has brought out the sum of £ 1 ,500. Telegrams received at Lloyd's this morning, dated St. Thomas', 29th October, state that there has been a fearful hurricane, which has desroyed the town, and that five steamers and fifty vessels have been wrecked. Two of the Royal Mail steamers aro lost, and two disabled. All the ships Which had sailed returned. Fever subsided. It has been announced by the directors of the !loyal Mail Steam Packet Company that they have issued instructions that the Atlantic vessels are to coal and to effect the transfers off Water Island, instead of entering St. Thomas harbour, and it is Proposed also that the Atlantic ships shall extend their voyages to Colon, whereby passengers, &c., will be conveyed through from Southampton to the Isthmus of Panama without transfer. A settling day has been arranged by the dealers on the Stock Exchange in the New Spanish Three Per Cent. Stock for the 15th instant. This is irre spective of the Committee, by whom this proceed ing is not recognised. At a meeting held to-day of the London and South African Bank the report and accounts for the six months ending 30th June, 1867, were submitted. The dividend of Bs. per share was paid on the 2d instant. The net profits amounted to £14,082, out of which the directors decided to make a payment of B s. per share in anticipation of the yearly dividend, after carrying 4,000 to the amount held against losses on past due bills, and the balance to next account. Messrs. Baring, Brothers, have given notice that the New Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds are ready to be exchanged for the receipts given for Passive Bonds sent in for conversion. At the same time a deputation of the dissentient bondholders, who re fused to convert, have had an interview with Lord Stanley on the subject. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined to 25 26, but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have advanced f, to 20 21. At Darlington, yesterday, about 500 men were Paid off at the Darlington Iron Company's Works, belonging to Mr. Barningham. About a fort bight ago notices were posted at the works in timating that the greater portion of the works, Which consist chiefly of rolling mills, would be stopped in a fortnight, and on Saturday the greater part of the fires were put out, and a large number of rollers, puddlers, and hammer men left, being informed they would be paid the W eek's wages, which is always held back, yes terday. Ile is stated to have asserted that it was els belief that he could keep the mills going during the Winter if a reduction in the rata of wages were fade—that this would enable him to take orders Which were in the market. This reduction is va !lously stated at from 10 to 25 per cent. Mr. Bar illagham is understood to have offered to rollers 10s. per day, hammermen Bs. 6d., and puddlers Gs. These mounts have been refused by the men, although it is believed they would not object to some small !eduction. Whether any arrangement will be made l e at present uncertain. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under 1867. 1866.

Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) 'WILLIAMS V. MILLS. This was an action tried at the last assizes, at Bodtnin, before Mr. Justice Keating, and was brought with the object of obtaining possession of a small cottage, which formed a portion of a large estate in Cornwall, and which had lately been pur chased by the plaintiff. Mr. Cole, Q.C., now moved on behalf of the plaintiff for a rule nisi for a new trial, the verdict having been for the defendant with leave to move. He said that it appeared that his property had been for many years mortgaged, and that the cottage in question had been given to a person named Mills to live in by the then possessor of the farm attached to it, and who did not reside on the pre mises. The father and daughter had continued to live until in 1855, up to which time the interest on the mortage had been paid ; the property was sold by the mortgagees, and the plaintiff became a purchaser. He now urged that the claim of his client was fully proved by the Statute of Limitations, and that that statute was confined not only to the mortgager and mortgagee, but also to the purchaser. The Lord Chief Baron-1 suppose the man Mills never paid any rent ? Mr. Cole—No, my lord, they had exclusive pos session. He contended that according to the deci sion of Lord Campbell the Statute of Limitations did away with adverse possession, and that in the case of " Palmer v. Eyre," 17 2 8., 1866, a decision had been given to a similar effect. The learned counsel was then about to quote some other cases, when the Court granted a rule nisi. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This day. (Before Mr. Payne.) ASSAULTING THE POLICE. John Walters, a rough-looking fellow, was in dicted for violently assaulting the police. The constable was on duty on the sth of Sep tember in St. James's, Lisson-grove, when a cry of " Stop, thief," and " Police," arose. Saw prisoner coming in the direction from whence the cry pro ceeded, and as ho went up prisoner said " Shiney, what's that you've got there ?" when he used a vio lent expression, and struck him violently under the left ear with his fist. He was knocked down by the blow, when the prisoner threw himself upon the con stable and kicked him, as did the companions of the prisoner,who by this time had come up. They all com menced assaulting the constable, and held him down whilst the prisoner effected his escape, but not be fore he had inflicted a violent injury on the con stable's head. The constable got up and pursued the man and came up with him again at the corner of Devonshire-street, and there another struggle took place, and ultimately, on the arrival of another policeman, the prisoner, seeing that he was over powered, said he would go to the station-house. Constable D 45 told his brother officer to be careful of the prisoner, as he was a desperate character, and after much trouble the prisoner was safely locked up. The jury found the prisoner guilty. _ _ In answer to questions from the Judge, Constable D 45 proved a number of convictions against the prisoner for felony, and also two convictions for assaulting police-constables. The Judge said he should well consider the whole of the facts before he passed sentence. William Cannon, another "rough," was then indicted for assaulting with intent, &c., police-con stable John Chappel, 266 S. Mr. Cooper said the present was another very violent case. The constable, who had suffered from the prisoner's violence, was still unable to do duty, his leg having been broken in two places. It was necessary that some strong measures should be adopted to protect the police, as at present they were the objects of vengeance amongst a cer tain class of ruffians whose absence from the metro polis it was most desirable to effect. The prisoner, who had in the first instance pleaded not guilty, said he wished to plead guilty to the second indictment, viz., that charging him with occasioning actual bodily harm. Inspector Lodgvrorth, of the S division, said the prisoner was known as a companion of thieves, and he believed one of the warders of the IIo!7se of Correction would be enabled to-morrow to prove a former conviction. The Judge said he would not then sentence the prisoner, but to-morrow, after hearing the warder, he would sentence both prisoners. The trial of Groves is fixed for to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. THE COPYRIGHTS ACTS.—John William Hall was charged with selling photographic copies of the en graving of Mr. Frith's picture the Railway Station, and other works of art,. in infringement of the copyrights of Mr. Graves, the well-known print seller of Pall Mall. Mr. Pullen said in this case it would not be necessary to enter into the facts, as his client, by his advice, would plead guilty. There could be no doubt that the defendant had sold copies of the en gravings in question, nor could he dispute that the right was vested in Mr. Graves, and that, therefore, the law had been infringed. He had, therefore, only to address the Court in mitigation of the penalties, and should submit that this was not a case in which heavy penalties ought to be inflicted, because the defendant had been entrapped into the commission of the offence. Ho had received an order for pho tographs from a person named Clapperton, who now turned out to be an agent of the prosecutor, at Salisbury. The photographs were forwarded in compliance with that request, and the defendant was thus brought within the meshes of the law. Mr. Lewis said the letter referred to was written, as appeared by its date, in October. The five sum monses charged the defendant with selling five piracies of Mr. Graves's pictures, and were issued on the 7th of August. Those summonses had been served at the defendant's lodgings in Great Titch field-street, Fitzroy-square, but he did not appear, and, after several adjournments, a NN arrant was granted on the 13th Sept. The police, however, had been unable to find the defendant until withi❑ the last few days. Mr. Christopher, having heard that the prisoner was in his neighbourhood, and knowing that a warrant was out against him, took steps to arrest him, but it was absurd to say that this, which occurred in October,was an entrapping of a person to commit an offence in August. However he would join in the application for the reduction of the penalties. The Prisoner said he could always be found. The police were aware of his address all the while. Mr. Lewis—Yes, but what is the good of your address when you are never there? Mr. Vaughan said, although the defendant pleaded guilty, it was necessary to give evidence of the registration of the copyright. Mr. Graves was then called. lie stated that he is the proprietor of the original painting, copyright, and engraving of the Railway Station, which had cost him X 23,000, lie had only made X 20,000, MARLBOROUG 11-STREET. ROBBING THE CLERK OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITEIZATURE.—G2orge Wilson, a young man, de scribed as a moulder, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with being c:)nurned with two other; , _ not in custody in attempting to steal a gold watch and chain, the property of Mr. John Ayres, clerk of the Royal Society of Literature. Mr. Ayres sai'l—f reside at No. 4, St. Martin's place. Last night, about five minutes to nine o'clock, being without a servant, I went for my newspaper to the corner of Chandos-street, and I noticed the prisoner and two other young men standing by the public-house. Having got my beer I crossed the street, and the young men then separated and two of them followed me, and one took the left hand side of me. On getting near my house 1 changed the bag to my left hand, so as to take out my keys, and as soon as I put my hands into my pocket the prisoner made a snatch at my watch chain, but owing to my having my arm over my breast he was unable to get out my watch. The prisoner then ran off, and as soon as he did so one of the other young men put his hand on my shoulder, and asked what was the matter, his purpose evidently being to detain me, and they then rau away. I ran after them as far as I could, but I lost sight of them in Green-street. Mr. Knox—What was the result of the prisoner's snatching at your chain ? Mr. Ayres—A piece of my chaia and a locket were taken from me. Mr. Knox—Have you any doubt about the pri soner ? Mr. Ayres—Not the least ; I can swear to him. Police-constable Pike, 51. C, said—About ten minutes past 9 last night I saw the prisoner run ning, pursued by a number of persons, and I stopped him at the corner of Orange-street, and as soon as I did so ho said, " What have I done, and why do you stop me ?" I said that I did not know what he had done, but asked him why he was run ning, and he said, " After my brother." I after wards took him to the station, and on the way he struggled to get away. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. The constable informed the magistrate that a person employed at the waterworks in Orange street had told him that he believed he could recog nise the prisoner as the person who had robbed an elderly gentleman. WESTMINSTER. STEALING WIREWORK FROII CIILTRCHES.—John Donelly, before convicted, was charged on remand with unlawfully possessing 72 lbs. of copper wire work, in lengths, such as would be fastened outside the illuminated and stained glass windows of churches and cathedrals. The prisoner is a Lancashire man, and has for years, with his brother and father, carried on a system of plundering churches and cathedrals ;ill over the country by the following means. By means of a long rod, made with joints, a strong hook is fastened to the top of the copper wire protecting those illuminated windows, to this hook is attached a strong rope and handle, by which the wire is pulled bodily from the fastenings which secure it. The damage done is not only excessive, but the amount done all over Surrey, Berkshire, and Yorkshire it would take a thousand pounds to rer lace. The prisoner, with his brother, were charged at this court three and a half years ago with stealing the wire at 'Westminster Abbey, was tried and sentenced to four years' penal servitude ; he was liberated on a ticket-of-leave, and last week was met by Clough and Upson, two constables of the B division, with another man, who, after a desperate resistance, escaped. The wire was found on pri soner. Mr. Inspector Humphreys asked for a further re mand, on account of the police not being as yet able to find an owner for the wire. Charles Stanley, 107 W, deposed that he saw prisoner at Beddington, near Croydon, on October 27, and the same night a large amount of wire was stolen, very similar to that found in possession of the prisoner. He was accordingly further remanded. THAMES. BRUTAL OUTRAGE ON A WomAN.—Two roughs, named Morris Murphy and John Howard, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting and wounding a young woman named Ann Bryant. _ _ _ The complainant stated that at half-past eleven o'clock last night she went to Bill Donahoo's beer shop at the corner of Harris-court, Ratcliff, near her own dwelling, to obtain some refreshment. Her sister-in-law and two other females accompanied her. The prisoners were in the beer-shop drinking, and when they left followed them to Bear Cottage, Bear-street, their dwelling, when the most foul language was made use of by the prisoners. She told them to go away and associate with people of their own sort. Murphy immediately threw him self on the ground and commenced halloaiug and screaming. She told him to go away, and he at once jumped up and struck her a tremendous blow on the side of the head with his clenched fist, and knocked her down. She became insensible. When she came to herself he struck her again, and while she was on the ground close to her own door he kicked her with his heavy boots on the face and head, and loosened her teeth. The witness, whose face was much cut and bruised, her left eye much inflamed, and who had lost a good deal of blood, said Murphy had been in the practice of beating women, and that the last one he had illused was a Mrs. Robinson, who kept a fish shop in Ratcliff, and who received compensa tion from him ; but that would not do for her. She was a hard-working woman, and had not offended any one. Three other females, all relatives of the complain ant, corroborated her evidence at length. One of the witnesses threw a largo shell at the prisoners, and it was picked up by Howard and delivered to the police. It was represented that Murphy was drunk, but that Howard was sober. The prisoner Murphy asked fo: a light for his pipe, and a Mrs. Mary Bryant, the sister-in-law of the complainant, was about to give him one, but owing to the bad language he used she refused to give him one. It did not appear that Howard used any violence at all. He tried to pull Murphy away from a police constable, and did not succeed. Howard, an Irishman, who has not been long in this country, was discharged, and gave evidence for Murphy, who was born in London of Irish parents. Howard did not know much about the affray. He did not know how the poker came upon the scene. There was a row of some sort. The woman would have half killed Murphy if he had not been present. After a long investigation, Mr. Paget said he be lieved that all the parties were under the influence of liquor last night, and that he could not rely on the evidence of any one witness. The woman said the affray occurred at half-past 11 o'clock. The police said it was half-past one o'clock this morning when they were called to the scene. The complainant said she was sober, and left off work at half-past ten o'clock. Mr. Paget—Yes, you left off work at half-past ten o'clock, and got drunk afterwards. .The poker and the shell came out of your house, and the pri soner used neither. Both men were so tipsy that neither could give any clear account of the transac tion. It was a drunken affray. I have already discharged Howard, and I now discharge Murphy. HUNGARIAN WHEAT.

The trial of the prisoner Henry Wilson, who is charged with being concerned in the Fenian riot at Hplc-road, was resumed this morning at the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, The prisoners Thomas Sca!ley, Michael Joseph Boylan, Michael Maguire, and William Murphy, were also brought into the dock, but no evidence was taken against them. Mr. Pickering, Q C., said they had had a con sultation with the Attorney-General, and as they thought that the witnesses in that case were not such as they should rely upon in such a serious charge as that of murder, as far as that particular case was concerned, they should withdraw the charge. Mr. Justice Blackburn —The result will be an acquittal? Mr. Pickering—Yes. Mr. Justice Blackburn said there was no doubt that the Attorney General. used a proper discretion. he only thing now to consider was whether there was a warrant or not. As the present case was not pressed there must be an acquittal of all. It was a question as to whether it would be convenient to go on and put it to the jury as to whether there was a warrant or not. 4 Mr. Seymour asked to be allowed to have the opinion of Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, who had not yet entered the court, as hitherto they had worked so harmoniously together. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Certainly. Both brother Mellor and himself thought there was nothing in the point. They forgot to get the opinion of the first jury, and if they liked the opinion of the present jury could be taken upon it. Doubtless, if the jury found there was no warrant, that point would be worthy of consideration. Mr. Seymour said that as far as the question of facts went, his lordship had them upon his notes, and would draw his own inference. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he had everything on his notes, and he had no doubt at all. Was it to be supposed that perjury had been committed upon it ? Mr. Pickering said that as far as the prosecution was concerned he did not think they ought to agree to a verdict being taken in a collateral issue. Mr. Seymour said it would have another effect, as it would make the case retrospective. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that if either side did not agree he could put it to the jury; that being the case, and as no further evidence would be given, the case was exceedingly simple, as he must direct an acquittal of all the five on the charge of murder. Let the prisoners stand forward. The prisoners then stood forward in the dock, and Mr. Justice Blackburn, addressing the jury, said —As yet there is no evidence against these pri soners on the charge of murder, and you have to give a verdict according to the evidence. You have only one duty, and that is to say that they are not guilty. The Clerk—You say that all the five are not guilty. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Justice Blackburn said, as to the further proceedings, he had told the jurors in waiting not to attend till two o'clock that day, so unless they were content to go on with the jurors in the box nothing could be done till two o'clock. Both sides expressed themselves content to go . on with the present jury. Mr. Justice Blackburn—ln that case, make up your minds as to what course you will pursue. The Judge then retired, and, on his return, after the counsel had conversed together for some time, Mr. Pickering said—We do not intend to proceed at all. Would it not be better to enter a nolle pro sequi, and let them be at once discharged ? Mr Seymour—Or take a verdict of not guilty ? Mr. Justice Blackburn—You must settle the course yourself. Mr. Pickering—A nolle prosequi may be entered against Chambers, John Martin, Johnston, and Ryan. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien--Why not call them up, and give them at once to the jury, who will dis charge them ? Mr. Justice Blackburn—The four prisoners, Chambers, Martin, Juhnstou, and Ryan, may be discharged at once. Of course, Mr. Pickering, I understand you are doing this as the representative of the Attorney-General, and with his consent. Mr. Pickering—l am. Mr, Justice Blackburn—Then as soon as you'ean agree as to which of the other prisoners you will not proceed against you will perhaps state it, as there is no object in keeping these men in gaol. Ido not call upon you this instant, but I do so for the sake of the men. Mr. Seymour—lt would be a great convenience to us to know whom we will have to defend. Mr. Justice Blackburn—No doubt of it. As soon as you can make up your minds that there is no thing against any of the others, I hope you will not keep any of them in suspense. Mr. Pickering—We will take the first opportu nity we have to examine the evidence. The prisoners Carroll, Moorhouse, and Reddan were then put in the dock to take their trial for mis demeanour.
