Business in the City has remained very quiet, although rumours of an adverse character have been current with regard to affairs on the Continent, which, however, require confirmation. In the general discount market there is no change, as the attendance in commercial circles in the City as usual ou Saturday is very restricted. The sum of £2,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. With regard to the suspension of Messrs. Vivanti, Annett, and Co., it is stated that the liabilities are about £300,000, and that the books are placed in the bands of Messrs. Honey and Humphreys, accountants. The directors of the Rio do Janeiro City Im provements Company (Limited) have declared a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum in respect of revenue for the half-year ended 30th June last. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Company an nounced yesterday having received the sum of £1,376 4s. Bd. from the Custom-house at Sabanilla, on account of New Granada dividends. The traffic receipts of the East India Railway for t he week ending September 8, 1867, amounted to £ 3 0,616 Os. 9d., against £31,776 13s. 7d. for the c orresponding period in the previous year, showing a decrease of £4,160 12s. 10d. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced to 25} 26i, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 21 22. rile annexed circular has been issued by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany :—" Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company Offices, 122, Leadenhall-street, Lou th); L.C., Oct. 25,1867.—The managing directors ue g to announce that, it being probable that the Bengal will not reach Suez before the 7th November, they hare arranged, with the sanction of the Post master-General, to defer the departure of the Ripon from Marseilles from the 28th to Thursday, the 31st th st.) at seven a.m. The mails will be despatched from London on the evening of Tuesday, the 29th instant." It is stated by Messrs. Layton and Co. in their tea circular th a t th e arr i va l o f severa l c lipp ers w ith the new season's Moning congous has been the fea ture of most interest during the past fortnight. 'In() to choice qualities, suited especially for export, have met an active demand at full to extreme prices (2s. 2d. to 2s. Bd. per lb.) ; the l icirne trade have also bought freely of good and fine g r ades, but those without character, of which there are several chops, are difficult to sell at quotations, and remain for the most part in the importers han da• Our remarks of 9th inst., as to the inferior quality of the new Kaisows, are confirmed by what have since come to market ; but few really true te ttB have arrived, and the bulk consists chiefly of Poor and undesirable kinds, for which there is little or 71 ° inquiry ; nearly 3,000 packages of these have b een already sold in the auctions without reserve, at a considerable decline from rates previously cur rent by private contract. There is no material alteration in the tone of the market for teas of old iniport ; rather more business has been done in P ekoe flavoured congous up to ls. 81, but common blackish leaf is still quoted at llid. to 14d. per pound. The last China auc tions took place on the 15th inst. ; 12,559 packages were printed, of which 11,992 were "without reserve." The salespassed without spirit, and several parcels of new season's Kaisow congou, of common to fair quality, sold at lower prices. Canton scented teas brought fair rates. The few fresh arrivals of green tea have found buyers at ex treme prices. The estimated stock of tea in the United Kingdom on the Ist instant amounted to 72 ,634,000 lbs., which is a decrease of about 1 3,000,000 lbs., compared with that of last year at the corresponding period. Subjoined is an extract from Messrs. Ryland's Iron Trade Circular :—The iron trade generally this week —we are speaking more particularly of the latter end—has revived from the partial pause brought about by the late crisis in foreign affairs. IN'ot only have markets recovered their tone, but a real busy trade is being carried on in all parts of th e country, in all descriptions of iron. Material ev idences of this improvement are afforded in the increased demand for ore and coal. Wolverhampton market was firm—almost strong—in spite of the ba d news from Liverpool.

SATUIttiA EVENING, OCTOBER 2f5, SHARE LlST—This Day. CONSERVA7ISIII AT COVENTRY. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. -ip-- COVENTRY, Friday. Last evening the " inaugural dinner" of the Work ing Men's Conservative Association of this city took place in the Corn-exchange. It was also arranged that this should be the occasion for " celebrating the passing of the Reform Bill, and to afford the Con servatives of this city and the neighbourhood an op portunity of expressing their approval of the do mestic and foreign policy of Lord Derby's Govern ment." Nearly 600 were prt-sent, a very large proportion of the assemblage being what is called " wol king men." The exchange was filled, and it was stated that bat for that circumstance ninny more tickets could have been sold. At the cross-table there were some of the princi pal residents of the city ; the Right Hon. C. B. A , lderley, M.P., presided, and on his right and left were Mr. D. BrJniley and Mr. Wise, county mem bers, and Mr. Eaton, one of the members for the city. The presence of Mr. Ferranti had been an nounced,-but the hon. gentleman did not attend. The usual loyal toasts having been given, that of "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" was ac knowledged by the Rev. R. 11. Baynes, rector of St. Michael's. Mr. Alderman LINES proposed " The Earl of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers." He said Lord Derby, the Premier, stood " head and shoulders" above any other man in the house of Peers in fit ness for his post, and Mr. Disraeli was one of the greatest men of the 19th century. He congratu lated those present on the fact that this was the largest political dinner that had ever taken place in Coventry. The Right Hon. C. B. ADDERLEY, on rising to respond, was received with loud cheers. He said— It does my heart good to hear the toast of Lord Derby and her Majesty's Ministers, among whom I humbly serve, so heartily received by at least 600 of the good men of Coventry, to say nothing of the galaxy of beauty which in large numbers surrounds them in the gallery. I can say with perfect con fidence that there is nothing more to Lord Derby's heart and nothing that his colleagues attach more importance to than such associations as the present. (Hear, hear.) A similar institution in Birming ham made me their medium of inviting Mr. Dis raeli a few weeks ago to a banquet which they pro posed in the Town-hall. 'AIL Disraeli's answer, which was cordial, as it should be, was that he was prevented from any possibility of accepting their magnificent invitation at the present moment, but that he hoped before long to have the honour of being their guest. (Cheers.) I saw Sir John Pakington this morning at Stoneleigh, and he told me that he had a similar invitation from a similar association in the city of York, which he is about to attend in a few days from the present time. I will now propose what is really the toast of the evening, "Success to the Coventry Working Men's Liberal-Conservative Association." (Loud Cheers.) This class of associations arespringing up—recently it is true, but yet vigorously and increasingly—in all the principal towns and cities of this kingdom. (Hear, hear.) Not only so, but they are springing up entirely of their own accord, and without any external influences. By this they show two things. First, they express a genuine feeling felt throughout the country ; and in the second place they, by the occasion on which they hate sprung up, express a special protest against what is going on. The reeling that they so express is the feeling of Con servatism throughout this ccuutry, the love of order, the reserve of the Celtic principle, the feeling of common sense which animates Englishmen pos sessing the most enviable institutions in the world, that it is better to leave gool alone, and that when they are happy they do not wish for a change. (Hear.) I recollect once pitting this question to Mr. Cobden, "Do you not confess that the tendency of Englishmen is Conservative ?" His answer was, "Conservative is an expression hardly strong enough; they are Chinese " ("hear, hear, and laughter)— " and if our great grandmothers had put our grand fathers' infant feet into small shoes we should do the same." (Hear, hear," and laughter.) I ventured a joke upon the occasion, and said we should have another corn law in that case. (Laughter.) He did not take the joke—he was a practical man—but he was perfectly justified in the opinion which he expressed that there is no nation, and justly and reasonably so, which is so tenacious of its own habits and institutions. (Hear, hear.) So much for the feeling which is expressed by these great associa tions. We have had Conservative associations for a long time, but there must be something special which has called into existence associations such as the present. (Hear, hear.) This something is what I call a protest against what is going on. The associa tions protest against that sham Liberalism which has for some time been bawling about the country —(laughter)--in the name of the people of England, and especially in the name of the artisans and the working classes. (Hear, hear.) These working men's associations protest that the sham Liberals have taken their names in vain and without their consent—(hear, hear)—that they are a narrow clique of agitators who inscribe the name of the people upon their brazen trumpets. (Cheers. " The great people of England," says Mr. Beaks, " must have the public parks for their own use," notwithstanding that the real people of England, when they have spoken for themselves about public parks, protest that they don't wish those parks for their own particular purposes. " The people of England,' , says Mr. Bright, " must wrench their rights from a hostile aristocracy," no matter the fact that all the real people of England know perfectly well that the people are with the aristocracy, and that the aristocracy are of the people. (Hear, hear.) These men inflate their class cant to assume a national dimension, and by imputing to their opponents all the vices which are common to human nature they have gradually acquired all the egotism and into lerance which have spread bitterness and rancour and animosity throughout the country generally. (Cheers.) There is nothing so overbearing either in religion or in politics as our " one-eyed" Re former—(hear, and laughter)—who claims to him self all the public virtues and all the wisdom in the country, and who cannot conceive it possible that anybody else should either wish or do anything for his country's good, unless through his own parti cular view. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There are two great parties in the country —one in favour of conservatism of what is, and the other who go in for progress and change. (hear, hear.) The object of these associations is to protest against the non sensical idea that there is any class in this country which can claim to itself all the virtue and patrio tism, or that there is any other class which has all the prejudice and the folly of this country. (Hear.) in all the party struggles which this country has yet seen there has been a spirit above all parties— a spirit of patriotism, which in different views has anitnated both. (Hear, near.) The revolutions in English history have never been long subversive, more than the bath struggles but hAiidt:oll tothing ti frer;ti generations of hereditary freemen among us. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobden in the corn law agitation said he did not believe the difficulty would result in rtvulittihn; for the reason that tile• aristocracy of thi'S ebtlutil alWaysktlest slieu to give ray. Wear.) It n the same in the agitation fur eiecioi'al reform. (Hear,. hear.) Mr. Bright, in one of his recent speeches, said that for five and twenty years he had h9ll O l - ed hitnself td bepre .leinE on in ah undeviating line for the pUblie good; but had PAIRd all the 'oriel ritfjtiin tigainA • ,• .„ k.uaugtiter.) llie intoxication ot egotism pi - Oci 4 itces the same effect that is commonly observed in con nexion with the intoxication produced by physical alcohol—the victim of such intoxication imagines not that he is falling down, hut that the paving stones rise up and strike him. (tatigtitei..) T h e, Con -seryativo parts hate passed a bill for the country at large whidh the prtifeSsed Liberals Wanted to secure for one class alone, and, having done so, the Ve formers at once turned round and blamed them for having passed the measure at all. I believe that the most fortunate thing that could Lave happened in the course of such a great question in this coun try is that the question has not been settled by the victory c.,1 parties seeking power, but by concession on the part of the power itself. The right hon . gentleman having alluded to the American question, ciancludA by saying—lt is all very well for parties to struggle against the other in this great and free country, but depend upon it that these Working Men's Liberal Conservative Associations have hit upon the right idea, which is that there exist certain parties who may discuss various questions in the proper Chamber of debate for the interests of the country, but that there is one party supreme over all —the great party of our common country. (Cheers.) After various other toasts, the proceedings termi nated at a late hou, having been of a most enthu siastic character throughout. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day: SII E RIFFS' C OUR r. (Before Mr. Commissioner K.,:rr.) DYER V. FILLET. This was an action to recover for tie hire of four carriages and pairs, defendant having paid a sum on account, which he alleged was agreed upon. Plaintiff said that he was a job-master, and de fendant acted in the same capacity, and upon a certain occasion defendant hired four carriages and pairs for a wedding. lie arranged to keep them a certain time, from three to four hours, but he did keep them six hours. He paid £6 when he hired the carriages. This was not at all reasonable, con sidering the time he kept them. Defendant said that he agreed with plaintiff to pay so much for the job, and he was not tied down to three hours. The fact was that the wedding party wanted a drive after coming out of church, and they were taken round the suburbs. One of the coachmen was called, and deposed that he drove to the house from which the wedding party started at half-past 9 in the morning. His Honour—Well, how long did the wedding last ? Coachman—l hardly know. His Honour—l suppose it did not last from half past nine till 12 o'clock ? Coachman—l think not. After the wedding the parties wanted a drive, and they were driven about. Defendant—Of course we could not drive a wedding party about the streets of London, and it had been arranged that they should go a little way out. His Honour asked plaintiff what time was agreed upon ? Plaintiff—From three to four hours, and they kept the carriages six. His Honour thought the charges were not un reasonable, considering the time the vehicles had been kept ; but as there was some dispute about one of the carriage windows being broken, the case must be adjourned for evidence upon that point only.

PRINCE. This was an action to recover ls. 81, or what is familiarly known in the trade as grinding money, and his honour remarked at the opening of the case that he had decided in favour of the men upon this question. On the part of the defendant, however, it was urged that since the introduction of the hour system the relations of the employers and employed were materially altered, and that under the new regulations the workmen were not entitled to re cover grinding money. His Honour considered that there was a great deal of force in this suggestion, observing that if a man were paid by the hour it would be very un reasonable to give him payment for two and a half hours labour not supplied. Plaintiff contended that it had been the custom of the building trade to pay this grinding money, and it was a custom that was reasonable, for when a man had worked upon a job for some time his tools got out of order, and it was necessary that he should put them straight before going to work at another job. If the man discharged himself, then he could not be entitled to grinding money, but if he were discharged he would be. It was stated, in answer to the Court, that some firms paid this grinding money under We hour system, and others refused. His Honour was clearly of opinion that, as a matter of law, the plaintiff could not recover this money. It had been proved to the Court that the men might terminate an engagement at any period of the day, and it would be most unreason able to allow grinding money when the hiring was an hourly one. Plaintiff must be nonsuited. Plaintiff nonsuited accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGII-STREET. CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—William Sibley, a cab driver, who was charged a few drys ago with robbing a female named Margaret Thomp son of a purse containing 2ss., while in a cab in Swallow-street, Regent-street, and also with cruelty to a horse, was again brought before Mr. Knox, the prisoner having been remanded for the attendance of the female, and that the owner of the horse might be summoned for sending the horse out in an unfit state for work. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence, and an officer of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Ani►uals watched the case. The charge of robbery against the driver broke down; the female, who was in a state of intoxica tion on the morning in question, not being able to Ftate positively whether she was robbed in the cab at the time the constable (Allwood, 18G C) saw the prisoner in the cab with the female, or at an earlier hour. The charge of cruelty against the owner, Mr, Thomas Hall, a cab proprietor, and the prisoner Sibley, was then gone into, when Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, gave a description of the shocking condition of the horse, which was blind of both eyes, weak, had several sores, and bore marks of recent severe flogging, there being several cuts on the horse's legs, with blood on them. Mr. Sayer, on the part of the owner of the horse, said he was willing to have the horse killed. Mr. Knox said that on the last occasion some gutta percha thongs found on the prisoner were produced. It was a shocking thing to find a poor blind old horse put into a vehicle and whipped with thongs like those produced. On the understanding that the horse was to be destroyed, he would not in flict imprisonment on the owner, but he would have to pay a fine . of £5 or a month, and the driver would be discharged from the felony, but be com mitted for a month with hard labour for the cruelty.

A SERIOUS "PROFESSIONAL" Loss.--A young woman, giving the name of Eliza Smith, was charged with felony. Isaiah James Longstreet, who described himself as a gymnastic performer, stated that he was ful filling an engagement at the Standard Music Hall, Pimlico, last night. After he had finished his per formance he came down stairs with a bag containing his professional wardrobe, and placed it on a barrel in front of the bar, while he spoke to Mr. Brown, the landlord, behind the bar. When be had done so and turned round he found that the bag containing the bundle was gone. Mr. Selfe—What time was it? . I l roAdtxtdr--4t Wag Very late, I had not finished in the room until half-past 11, and then I had to dress. Mine was the last performance of the evening. Mr. Selfe—They keep the best to the last, I sup pose: What was there in the bag? Prosecutor—All toy professional costume, tights, f ) altit, a belt ; prepared chalk, and every thing for the use of tho business.. Two or three witnesses were erAamiried, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was at the bar of the Standard last night, and shortly afterwards was traced home with the bag. She was committed for six weeks. DIE BANDA AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY.— The distribution cf the Bandit and Kirweo prize money was commenced on Thursday at Chelsea Hospital and at the India Office.

The trial of the 26 prisoners charged with being concerned in the murder of Sergeant Brett, on the 18th September, will commence on Monday morn ing at ten o'clock, before Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor, the senior puisne judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, who will sit together. The prosecution will be conducted by the Attorney- General (Sir J. B. Karslake), with whom will be Mr. W. H. lliggin, the deputy-recorder of Man chester, who conducted the case for the Crown on the preliminary magisterial inquiry. The prisoners will be guarded by a strong force of the county police, armed with revolvers, and other armed con stables, to the number of 100 altogether, will be stationed in the building. A military force will also be accommodated in the locality. The pri soners will be taken to and fro daily, between the New Bailey and the Assize Courts, under a strong military escort. Mr. Roberts's second application to the Homo Secretary to postpone the trial has been refused iu these words : " Whitehall, Oct. 24, 1867. " Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Secretary Hardy to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23d instant, and to inform you that the arrangements already made for the trial of Allen and others cane not be eheeged.—l am, sir, yo urs , &c., " JAMES FERGUSON." Mr. Roberts has addressed a third letter to the Home Secretary, in which he states that no counsel are yet engaged for the defense of Allen and the 25 other men charged with the murder of Sergeant Brett, in consequence of his not having sufficient means at his disposal to retain them. The prisoners are anxious to have the assistance, for their defence, of Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, Q.C., Mr. E. Jones, and Mr. Cottingham ; and Mr. Roberts prays the Government to bear the expense of the defence, or, if that cannot be done, to pay the fees of the gen tlemen above named. He further prays that, under the circumstances, the trial may be postponed for a week, so that he may have an opportunity of meet ing counsel in town for consultation.
