MONEY MARKET ♦ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the weekly court of the directors of the Bank of England this morning no alteration was announced in the minimum rate of discount, which still remains at 2 per cent. In the general discount market there is a very moderate inquiry, and first-class short-dated paper ---, can be readily negotiated at per cent. The sum of £48,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday, making upon balance a total of £413,000 sent in during the week since the date of the last return. The Royal mail steamer Seine, with mails from Brazil and the River Plate, arrived at Southampton last evening. Intelligence from the seat of war in Paraguay states that the allied fleet had passed Curupaity, having suffered severely, many of the ironclads being placed hors de combat, and were now lying in front of Humaita, but it was thought impracticable to pass further up. By private ad vices from Buenos Ayres, it was asserted that this was a preconcerted plan, and that upon Marshal Lopez allowing the allies to gain this advantage, offers of peace would be made, giving up the con quest of Paraguay, and on terms honourable to all concerned. A fresh revolution had broken out at Cordoba, and several prominent members of the national Government had bees im prisoned—in fact the interior provinces of the Argentine Confederation are far from being in a state of peace. Near Rio Janeiro the slaves of a large plantation had revolted, and a military force had been sent to restore order. The allied troops at the seat of War were greatly harassed by Paraguayan guerillas, and were suffering severely, having also to be placed on short rations. At Buenos Ayres exchange o nEngland had closed at 48 nominal: about £150,000 had passed. The Cordoba steamer for Liverpool will bring about £lOO,OOO. Exchange on France 5.03 ; National Bonds, 53/ ; sovereigns, 1i per cent. prem. ; and gold is still in demand for export purposes. The railways were all doing well. It is announced that Baron Steiglitz, of the Narva Flax Mills, St. Petersburg, has opened a depot here for the sale of sailcloth, ducks, &c., as supplied to the Imperial Government of Russia ; Mr. W. H. Iliudley, of Queen-street, Cheapside, acting as his agent. The directors of St. John d'El Rey Mining Com pany (Limited), have received per Seine the follow ing report, dated Morro Velho, Aug. 29, 1867 : Produce, second division of August, 11 days, 14,654 oitavas ; yield, 6,858 oitavas per ton. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to thie day, are in round figures as under :- 1867. 1866. ... 81,597 80,720 ...135,921 130,715 Great Western ...

The amounts al lotted were to Calcutta £96,000, and to Madras £4,000. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at Is. 111 d. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders at ls. 110. will receive about 13 per cent. ; those above will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills on Bombay were invited. The above rates show an increase in the demand for remittance. The market in London for American Securities has been dull, with a tendency for Government Bonds to decline in value, from sales pressed on account of continental Bourses, which to-day has been very marked, the 5.20 Bonds, 1862, having trenched on 711. The absence of any quotations by Atlantic Telegraph has deterred buyers operating, owing to uncertainty of the price of gold in New York. Erie Shares have been improving up to to-day, having advanced from 40 to 42i. Illinois Shares remain steady. There exists a good demand for Railroad Bonds payable in Sterling. Virginia Sterling have also been inquired for at full rates. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and Debentures have been more freely taken than for some time past. The report of the committee of investigation is expected to be issued this week. These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, show some very satisfactory results. On the Great "Western there is an increase of £877 ; on the North- Western, of £5,206 ; on the South-Western, of £2,329 ; on the Brighton, of £2,622 ; on the Midland, of £3,159 ; on the South-Eastern, of £ ., 3,6 _ 58 ; on the G reat Northern, of £ 2, 344 ; on Fie Lancashire and Y or k sh i re, of £ 1,270 ; on t h e Bristol and Exeter, of £1,070 ; on the North-Eas tern, o f £ 4,125 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £1,879 ; on the Great Eastern, of £1,715 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £2,920 ; an d on the North London of £414 ; while the North British shows a decrease of £367. Two o'CLocx. A firmer tone has prevailed to-day in the English Stock Market, and Consols show a recovery of per c ent., being 941 1 for money on the Bth inst., and 941 4for the November settlement.

London and Westminster are at 684, Union of London at 374, London Chartered of Australia at 24, and City Bank at 124. In the Miscellaneous Market there has been little change. City Offices, however, have declined to 75, Hudson's Bay Company to 145 15 ; Commercial Union Assurance are marked 41, and Viceroy of E gypt's Mortgage Loan 711 725. Foreign Stocks have in most instances recovered from their late depression. Greek Bonds improved 4, to 131 14 ; Spanish Passive 1, to 19 191 ; the Certificates 4, to 161 4 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents. to 314 31 4; while It a li an 5 p er C en t s. cont i nue depressed, and have further receded 1, to 46 461. There has been a better inquiry for American Securities, and prices have an upward tendency. United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 4, to 72 72 4; Erie Shares 4, to 42 43 ; and Illinois 1, to 77 771. The dealings in the Railway Sharo Market have been on a very limited scale, but more firmness has prevailed. Great Western and North Western have each improved 4, and Caledonian and Brighton each 1 ; while South Eastern have receded 1 ; and London, Chatham, and Dover, Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, and Midland each 4. The Foreign and C olonial lines show little varia tion. Great Luxembourg are marked 91 1 • South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, 14;1 ;' Grand Trunk of Canada, 19 ; Great Western of Canada, Peninsula ; East Indian, 1105 ; and Great Indian' Peninsula have declined to 1061 107.

THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE'S kindly reception by the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie. A correspondent of the Times writes—You published an extract from M. de Keratry's work on the fall of Maximi lian with respect to the arrival in Paris of the Archduchess Charlotte and her interview with the Emperor Napoleon. The .3lemorial Diplomatique, well known for its Austrian partialities and connexions, denies the correctness of some of M. de Keratry's statements, and gives a completely dif ferent version. It says that on the day after the Arch duchess's arrival at the Grand Hotel (which residence she had preferred to a proffered lodging in the Tuileries) the Empress Eugenie called upon her, and that the interview, which had a character of most affectionate cardiality, lasted no less than au hour and a half. " From the moment of the Empress Charlotte's arrival two carriages and four, with outriders, had been put at the disposal of the august traveller, who, on the 11th of August, went to St. Cloud to return the visit she had received the day before from the Empress of the French. The Emperor (who ha I then just returned from Vichy, where he had been obliged to abridge his stay on account of bad health)found himself considerably better, but t:•:o doctors forbade his leaving his room and even receiving his Ministers, so the Empress of Mexico could not see him that day, but only two days later, when, on an intimation from the Empress Eug6nie, she returned to St. Cloud, and had an interview of several hours with the Emperor. While admitting to those around her that the object of her journey to Europe would not be attained, the Empress Charlotte attributed the cause solely to the more and more strenuous opposition of the Legislative Corps to the prolongation of the French expe dition. Finally, on the eve of her departure, the Emperor and Empress went together to the Grand Hotel to take leave of her Majesty, with whom they remained in conver sation for about an hour. At the moment of separation the two Empresses repeatedly affectionately embraced each other, and the Emperor kissed the hand of the Empress of Mexico. A special train, with the carriage reserved for the private use of their Majesties, was placed at her dis posal to take her to the Italian frontier." BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain Woolcott, with the above mails, arrived at Southampton yesterday. She brings 50 passengers; specie, gold, £13,202; and silver, £2,795 ; Spanish Bonds, £1,000; thirteen packages diamonds, value not stated ; also 2,050 bags coffee, 150 barrels arrowroot, 150 barrels tapioca, 210 rolls tobacco, 12 casks wine, and 189 packages sun dries. Advices anticipated by telegraph via Lisbon. ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT PORTSMOUTII.—AS a gang of prisoners who had been working in the timber field on the extension ground of the Ports mouth Dockyard were being mustered on Monday even ing, to be conveyed to the prison for the night, one of them, a young man, 18 years of age, named Edward Smart, was missing. Although a Ftrict search has been made he has not yet been recaptured; but it is thought that he is con cealed in the neighbourhood, where he is known to have some friends. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO TILE MATOR OF DONCASTER. —A fatal accident occurred to the Mayor of Doncaster (Mr. Henry Woodmansey) early on the morning of yester day. A bazaar had been given during the preceding week iu aid of the new infirmary in that town, and the very handsome sum of £1,250 had been realised. As a termi nation of the proceedings an evening party was given at the Mansion-house on Monday evening to the ladies and their friends who had assisted at the stalls during the pre vious week. All had passed off well until between 1 and 2 o'clock, and the party was about to bo brought to a close when the Mayor, on passing down the grand staircase to his own parlour, slipped, and fell heavily to the bottom of the flight of stone steps. Mr. Crawshaw had hold of the Mayor's aria at the time and was dragged along with him but sustained comparatively little injury. Not so, how- over, the Mayor, who was taken up insensible, having sustained a severe scalp wound on the side of the head and injured some blood-vessel, as he bled very profusely. He was immediately removed to his own room in the Mansion house, and had the best medical advice the town could afford, but never rallied. lie died at 5 o'clock. The sad event has cast a deep gloom over the inhabitants, among whom the Mayor was universally respected. The Sheffield Sawgrinders' Society—a different body altogether from the Sawgrinders' Society to which Broadhead, Crookes, and Hallam belong—have determined to relieve themselves, so far as possible, from the taint of the past. To that end they have dismissed all their old officers, appointed others in their stead, removed their place of meeting from a public-house to a class-room of the Mechanics' institute, and appointed a committee to weed the society of "suspicious" characters, and draw up a set of rules to be submitted to Mr. Tidd Pratt for registration. ihare ettEVE ttENCE zi Bristol and Exeter 4 per cent stock.

CATTLE PLAGUE INQUIRY.—The return of the reported cases of cattle plague in Great Britain, published by authority of the Lords of the Privy Council, states that during the week ending Saturday, Sept. 28, no case of cattle plague had been reported from any part of England Wales, or Scotland. PHOTOGRAPHY. A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated 'aril, Sept. 28, says : _ . . "In no department of the Exhibition is there more activity of mind displayed than in that which is allotted to photographs. No recent discovery ex cites more curiosity and interest, nor calls into play more ingenuity and science and taste, than this of printing by the aid of light. The art, in all its various processes, has become of immense import ance, admits of innumerable applications, and gives employment to a host of people, many of them highly endowed. Far more thin the disc A-cry of the telescope, of the microscope, or of a perfect balance, it has made a new era in science ; and in the fine arts, also, it has exercised a prodigious in fluence. It is stated ou authority that Sir Henry James has already saved the British Exchequer at least £40,000 by the use of photo-zincography in the production of the maps of the Ordnance survey ; and the copies of Doomsday Book now at Paris, printed by photo-zincography, speak for the value and beauty of the process. Photography is useful in so many ways—in astronomy, in ethnology, in anatomy, in botany, in architecture, in land survey ing, in engraving on wood and steel and copper, not to speak of ordinary portraiture, that no modern art can be said more truly to live than this ; and few of us who visit the French Exhibition can form an ade quate idea of the vast amount of scientific research and mechanical industry which are represented by the hundreds of photographic pictures and appa ratus that meet our view. An index of patents relating to photography alone tells us that down to the end of the year 1859 upwards of 190 separate patents had been granted in England ; and since that period the number has been enormously in creased. This, however, gives a very insufficient idea of the energy with which the wonderful art is pursued ; for, in point of fact, the most important discoveries in photography have not been protected by the patent laws. Thus, the collodion process—a process by which nine-tenths of all the photographs in all countries are now produced—was made known freely to the public by its originator. So likewise the essential principles of all the various carbon pro- cesses of printing were announced by their dis coverers without any attempt to secure their rights by patent. So long ago as December, 1827, M. Nie pee, then living at Kew, submitted to the Royal Society some pictures taken on silvered copper plates smeared with the bitumen of Judea, a substance which is soluble in certain essential oils, but not so after exposure to light. Specimens of his skill are in existence as perfect in appearance as on the day on which they were produced. There is the begin ning of the carbon process. On the 29th of May, 1839, Mr. Mungo Ponton made a communication to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, to the effect that bicromate of potash applied to paper in solu tion accepted a photographic image which could not be removed by water, the portions protected from the light being readily washed away. There is a step in advance. In January of the last mentioned year M. Daguerre in France, and Mr. Fox Talbot in England, had each made public their independent discoveries of the daguerreotype and the talbotype." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HO US E. A CITY Firm OF SMASHERS.—Two dirty-looking men and one slatternly woman, named respectively Jones, Smith, and Partridge, were charged before Mr, Alderman Lusk, at the Mansion-house, with having uttered a coun terfeit coin. Sergeant Hancock, the detective officer on duty in King William-street, stated that at about three o'clock yester day ho was at the corner of King William-street and Cannon-street, when ho saw Jones and Smith passing, he also observed the female prisoner following—not liking her appearance he followed them towards St. Paul's Churchyard. When they had got some distance down Cannon-street, the prisoner Jones made a signal with his hand to the female prisoner, and she came to him.. Jones spoke to the woman, and the other Kisoner Smith was close to his elbow.. The woman put her baud in her dress pocket, pulled something out, and witness saw a piece of paper in her left hand, and she gave some thing to Jones. The woman then parted from them, and they went towards the Sugar Loaf, in Canncn street. Witness followed them and met Chester,, another detective officer, and they went to Mr. Palmer the manager of the house, and advised him to look after the money which was given to him by the prisoners. Smith came in and tendered the shilling, which was found to be bad. He then left the hous,-, and pretended to adjust his boot, looking back at the publichouse to see if he were followed. After following them for some little time, witness took Jones and Chester took Smith. The woman was afterwards arrested. The prisoners denied all know ledge of one another, but Smith afterwards admitted that he received the shilling from Jones. _ _ . The female prisoner, on being searched, was found to have sixteen counterfeit coins about her—six in oLe paper, four iu another, and six loose. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday. BOW-STREET. FORGING A POST-OFFICE ORDER.—Henry Gillott and Richard Oldacre were placed at the bar charged with stealing a Post-office order and forging the name of Mr. Scully, their master. William Miller, 148 G, said yesterday, about 11 o'clock in the morning, he was in the money order-office, Bunhill row, and saw the prisoner Oldacre come in and present an order for payment, saying that he came from Mr Scully, of Gee-street, Brick-lane. Ho took hold of Oldacro and asked what he had presented for payment, and the assistant handed him a post-office order for £5. He told the prisoner that ho was a police officer, and that he should taken him into custody for stealing the order from Scully. He said he got the order from a short, young man, who was in a publichouse in the neighbourhood. Witness went there, but could not find the person the prisoner had descrited, and he then convoyed Oldacro to the station-house. James King, the assistant at the post-office in Bunhill row, said the prisoner presented the order in the usual course, and answered the questions he put to him correctly. He afterwards was told by the constable that the order had been stolen. Mr. B. Scully said he carried on business in Gee-street, Brick-lane. The order produced bore his signature, but it was a forgery. He never authorised Oldacre to sign his name or receive money; in fact, he did not know him. The order produced had been stolen, together with the letter in which it was enclosed. It came from a customer of his, but it had been intercepted in its delivery. Miller then said he apprehended Gillott yesterday on a charge of stealing the letter containing the Post-office order. He at once admitted it, and said he had taken two letters beside, and that he had given them to a companion to get changed. The solicitor to the Post-office said he was unable to proceed further with the case at that time, and the pri soners were remanded for a week. PICKING UP A FRlEND.—Cornelius Bush was charged with being at the Charing-cross R3ilway Station for an illegal purpose. iionCktOn, the police-constable on duty at the station, said yesterday he saw the prisoner in company with another person leading in a gentleman who was very drunk. They went into the refreshment department, and having partaken of some wine, they left the bar and went on to the platform. He, observing the gentleman wore a very valuable Albert guard, and ether articles of jewellery, and that he was quite incapable of taking care of himself, ho went up to him, tolling prisoner ho was a police constable, and, on telling theprisoner to leave the station he violently assaulted him. He afterwards took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner said the gentleman was a friend of his. He sold him walnuts daily in Cannon-street, and that meeting him a little bit intoxicated, ho had made up his mind to see him to the railway station. There ho was taking sherry with the gentleman, when Monckton came up and ordered him off. He did not feel disposed to go at his bidding, and therefore objected, and the result was ho was taken to the station-house. A warder from the House of Correction said the prisoner had been eight or nino times in prison, and that ho was a well-known thief. Mr. Vaughan said he had no doubt but that for the vigilance of the police-constable the gentleman would have been robbed of everything he possessed. lie, therefore, committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour.

A detailed report of the loss of the Hiogo, on the Eddystone, is published in the Western Morning News of yesterday. The vessel was a new iron screw steamship, built and owned by Mr. Lang of Sunderland. She was handsomly modelled, built in compartments, and fitted up with all the modern improvements and luxuries of a first-class passenger steamship. Built to meet the requirements of the increased trade opening up with Japan, she was en route to the port in that empire, after which she was named, Hiogo, one of the new ports that will, under the recent treaty, be opened to English traders in January next. On her arrival out she would have been for sale or to trade, according as business cir cumstances might determine. She had on board a very valuable cargo, and had also been freighted fur the Diamond Steam Navigation Company to carry passengers and goods to Madeira, Table Bay, Algoa Bay, and Natal. At London, on completing her loading, she embarked six passengers, the Rev. Mr. Parkes, Mrs. Parkes, and two sons, for Madeira, and Messrs. Marks and Murison for Kagosima. She left the East India Docks at 1.30 p.m. on Saturday for Falmouth to embark four more passengers, and ship some small consignments and a mate there. On her way down she made a short stay at Gravesend, discharging her river pilot there, and subsequently her Downs pilot at Deal. On Sunday and Monday she experienced very rough weather, the wind being from an adverse quarter, but on Mon day night and Tuesday morning the weather was clear, and light winds prevailed. The middle watch between twelve and four was kept by the star board watch. The captain remained on deck dur ing the early part of the watch, but ultimately, the Start light having been passed, he went below to obtain some sleep, leaving the deck in charge of the second officer, a young man about twenty six years of age, with directions to run for the Eddystone light, in order to get into a favour.. able current for proceeding to Falmouth, but to pass the reef at the distance of at least a mile, and to call him while the vessel was pass ing. As the steamer neared the Stone the second mate went below to consult the captain as to the course, when the captain, waking out of his nap, gave certain directions. The second mate returned on deck, and at a few minutes after half-past two on Tuesday morning the steamer ran at a speed of about ten miles an hour full on to the Sugar Loaf rock at the north-east end of the Eddystone reef, running several fathoms up the rock. The rock is about 150 yards from the lighthouse, the full glare of the light from which was shining down on the vessel's deck when the accident occurred. The dangerous proximity of the vessel to the rock does not appear to have been perceived until the vessel was almost touching it, when the second officer, who was on the bridge, shouted "fort ! port ! hard a-port !" But it was too late, for in an instant, with a thump which shivered every glass and dish on board, and turned every man out of his berth, the ship ran full tilt upon the reef. The second officer at once ordered the engines to be reversed, which order was promptly carried out, but without any success, perhaps fortunately, as had she at that moment slid off into deep water the loss of nearly all on board would have been inevitable. From the engine-room the men on duty rushed on deck, except one of the firemen, who bravely remained to let off the steam to prevent any danger of au explosion. The passengers and the watch of the crew below, rudely awoke by the shock and the change in the vessel's position, in stantly came on deck. Captain BAinton imine. diately took prompt steps to provide f or th e sa f e ty of those under his charge. Rockets were thrown up and blue lights burnt, and pistols fired, but signal guns could not be fired through the ammunition being destroyed or mislaid. As the tide rose the stern part of the vessel was lifted, and she began to settle down forward, her fore com partment filling rapidly. The five boats of the vessel were speedily got out, and the passengers placed in one of them. At five o'clock two pilot cutters bore down to the vessel to render assistance, and in one of them (No. 7 ) the passengers were placed. About the same time the vessel heeled over on her starboard side, and sank iu deep water, leaving her port aft gunwale just show ing at high water. rho pilot bo,t t then took the boats in tow, and brought th em i n to Ply mouth Sound. On arriving in the So un d the captain proceeded ashore in his gig, followed shortly alter by the crew and passengers mu the other boats. On the wreck being announced active measures were taken by the vessel's agents, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co., to recover the cargo. When the captain came on shore the chief and second officers, carpenter, and three seamen were left in charge of the wreck. The cargo consists principally of bale goods, dungarees, calicoes, and cottons, with cases of rifles and swords. She had also on board two cases of treasure, said to be of the value of £20,000. These, together with the ship's chronometers and plate, were saved, and brought on shore by the captain, the plate in charge of the chief steward. The passengers and crew saved very little of their personal effects, and presented a very woe-begone aspect. The Hiogo was fitted with an expensive pair of first-class engines of 100 horse-power, by Kerr, of Kirkcaldy ; and the loss of the vessel and cargo is estimated to involve the destruction of property of the value cf little less than, £lOO,OOO. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BLIND MAN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT. —Samuel Sullivan, a blind man, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable Munday, 78 C, said—About twelve o'clock last night I heard a disturbance in Princes-row, Newport Market, and on going up found the prisoner, who was drunk, assaulting his wife and making a disturbance, and I took him into custody. Mr. Knox—Did his wife prefer any charge against him ? Constable—She did not. The prisoner is a most dan gerous man, and has been charged with assaulting his wife, and also a gentleman. Ile is in the habit of begging in front of the National Gallery, and mostly goes home drunk. The prisoner —I have been on the streets for six years, and I defy any one to say I was drunk. The constable called me a "Fenian," and that might have excited me. 1 had only had two half quarterns of rum all day. My wife aggravated me, and I might have struck her. Police-constable Adams, 133 C—l saw the prisoner strike his wife, and then pull her hair. He then delibe rately knocked his wife down, and she was insensible for some minutes. The prisoner was drunk and his language very bad. Prisoner—l was not drunk. Being called a Fenian, and being blind, I became excited. Mr. Knox—Did any such a word as Fenian escape your lips, constable ? Adams—The word was not made use of by the police, but by some of the bystanders, a large number of persons being collected in consequence of the prisoner's conduct. The prisoner's wife—l am here. I have no charge against him. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)---You knock your wife down, and she now comes hero and would get you off if she could. As she does not charge you I cannot punish you fur the assault upon her, but for the disorderly conduct I can, and you will have to pay 40s. or a month. The prisoner's wife appeared to have been much illused, and had a pair of black eyes. THAMES. A FRIENDLY TREAT—DEAD DRUNK.—George Mit, a Custom-house officer, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. William Girling, a police-constable, No. 80 11, stated that he found the prisoner in Church-lane, Whitechapel, yesterday evening, at a quarter Mole five o'clock, drunk and incapable ; in fact, dead drunk, and he would have been robb3d and ill-used in such a locality if he had not removed him to the station-house. The Defendant--The fact is that I mot a few friends from the country and got drinking rum with them. I got too much, and it overcame me. Mr. Benson—What are you ? Prisoner—l am a Custom-house officer. It was only a friendly treat. _ _ Mr. Benson—A person in your situation ought to be ' more careful. This is very disgraceful indeed. You are an officer holding a good position under the Crown, and should have shown a better example. You may go. DESERTION OF SEA APPRENTICES.—DanieI James, a youth, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with un lawfully deserting from the fishing smack 0 wner's Pride before his term of apprenticeship expired. Mr. Thomas Halfyard said ho was the owner of the smack Owner's Pride, which arrived in the river off Bil lingsgate on Tuesday last week. On the following Friday the prisoner and another apprentice deserted the vessel He found the prisoner last night iu the Hoop and Grapes publiehouso, in ltatcliff Highway. Ile said to him " What are you up to, s'r," to which he replied that he could not agree with the captain. He asked the prisoner if the cap tain ill-used him, and he said "No." lie ascertained the prisoner had shipped on board a billy boy as a seaman, and was to have sailed• in her that morning. All the prisoner's clothes were ou board the billy boy except a pair of boots, which cost 305., and which the lad had pawned. He expected to find his other apprentice to .day. Mr. Benson—Has the vessel gone away ? Mr. Halfyari—Yes, sir—she is at sea. I was obliged to ship two other hands for the apprentices who ran away. I have other vessels, and ono is now here. This lad has 12s. per week. lie is apprenticed for two years; and he went two trial voyages before he was indentured to me. The prisoner, in defence, said the captain of the Owner's Pride spoke harshly to him. Mr. Benson said it was perfect nonsense for a groat lad like the prisoner, just on the verge of manhood, to take offence at a few rough words. The apprentice ought to have made an effort to please his captain, and hale done his duty properly. Ho did not think the charge of deser tion was made out. It was an absence without leave, for which the prisoner was liable to forfeit six days' pay for every 24 hours absence frau - , duty. As Mr. Halfyard had very kindly offered to take back the apprentice, he would allow him to Do transferred to (mother yowl, on 4is solemn promise to behave Well and faithfully do his duty in future. The Prisoner—l am very sorry. 1 will do my duty in 'uture. Mr. Benson—You are fined six days' pay, which the owner will stop from your wages, and you must return to your duty. MARY LEBONE. THE DIAMOND AND RUBY CROSS ROBBERY.—AIfred Norman was brought up on remand, on the charge of stealing a diamond and ruby cross, of the value of £lO, belonging to Flora May, of 7, Wilton-place, St. Juhn'B - Mr. Lewi: , *, of Marlborough-street, prosecuted, and Mr. Kerr defended. The prisoner was brow c ;ht in by DAwson, 122 A R. He etas dressed in the uniform of the 3.1 Dragoon Guards. It may be remembered that the prisoner was originally charged with stealing the cross, and never surrendered on his bail. Ho was taken at Canterbury, whore he had enlisted. Miss Doflay di.i not now appear, aad D'Flyncurt directed summonses to issuo to compel tho attendance of her and her witnesses. Another case was gono into, whore ho had gone home with a young woman, and in the morning decamped with her gold watch and chain. I-Ie was committed for trial. Mr. Sleigh said ho should ask that prisoner be committed to the Old Bailey, as ho was wantel for forgery and em bezzlemeat in the City. EDITION.

The insurrectionary movement is entirely con fined to the province of Viterbo. Different insur gent bands have made their appearance at Bomarzo, Caparda, Carbognam, Canino, and Acquapendente, and after exacting supplies from the inhabitants, and in some cases receiving reinforcements, re turned to the open country. They are now being pursued by the Pontifical troops. The chiefs of the sections of the National Roman Association have issued a proclamation in which they condemn the recent resignation of the Roman Giunta, and announce that they have assumed the future direction of the party of action.

[ADTERTISEMENT. j —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— The beneficial effects of these remedies upon all the dis eases which arise from varying temperatures are a matter of world-wide notoriety. Sore throats, inflamed tonsils, relaxed uvula, hoarseness, viscous phlegm, and other throat difficulties are dissipated by rubbing Holloway's ointment briskly twice a day upon the neck and chest. In all stages of catarrh, chronic cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath, the ointment exercises a specific power in remedying and removing all irritation and all tendency to inflammation of the mucous lining of the throat, and also in its extension through the wind-pipe and the bronchial tubes ; the ill consequences springing from neglected colds must be readily ruct, ttud . easily conquered by thew infal lible remedies.
