ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCX, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand in the General Discount Market continues very restricted, notwithstanding the large withdrawals of bullion from the Bank and un favourable character of the continental advices. In some of the manufacturing districts there has bee❑ shg,ht symptoms of an improvement in several branches of business ; the rates current . for the negociation of first-class commercial paper remain ing at from 1+ to 13 per cent. The Java has arrived from New York with £2,800 in specie. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending tho 16th Oct. gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : s 6 Bt £3,065,233 ... Decrease £609,767 Public deposits ... 4,456,587 Decrease 3,100,855 Other deposits 20,432,737 ...

A decrease has taken place in the cash of £168,000. Grain operations have no doubt had much to do with some of the alterations exhibited, At present. From Lisbon the telegraphic news respecting the war in South America fully bears out the latest accounts received by the English mail. The Bra zilian fleet is hemmed in between litunaita and Curupaity, and would appear to be at the mercy of the Paraguayans, who had greatly strengthened Curupaity after the fleet had passed. The army is entirely isolated from the fleet, and is fortifying itself at Tuju-cue to resist, if possible, an attack from Lopez. Caxias and General Mitre had dis agreed, throwing the blame on each other. Cholera has reappeared among the allies. Afurther sum of £117,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. With regard to the bullion market, Messrs. Pixley, Abell, and Langley, state as follows in their weekly circular "We have but two arrivals of gold to report, the Tasmanian, from the West Indies, with £90,000, and the Bremen, from New York, with £4,000. These amounts have proved quite Inadequate to the demand, and £579,000 have been withdrawn from the Bank since our circular of the 10th inst. Further sums will be taken unless some of the vessels, now on the way from Australia, should soon arrive. The ships now coming with gold are :—From Melbourne : Gala, with £ 47 ,000; Blackwall, £182,000 ; Great Bri tain, £439,000 ; Wave of Life, £100,000; Sussex, £129,000. From Sydney : Sir John Law rence, £251,000. Making a total of £1,148,000, of which about £668,000 may be considered as nearly due. The market for silver, under the in fluence of purchasers for the Continent, has been more lively, and prices have improved id. per oz. The Tasmanian brought about £120,000 from the West Indies, and the Bremen £25,000, Dore, from New York. Mexican dollars have also improved in price, and about £50,000, brought by the Tas manian, Fire Queen, and La France, have been sold at 59kd. per oz. The purchases have been chiefly for the Continent and refining purposes, the only shipment to the East consisting of £10,500 to Shanghae. Advices from Berlin, dated 15th instant, state that the Bourse opened very flat, and the antici pated French intervention in Italy acted unfavour ably on all public securities. At the close Italian iterates and American Bonds became rather firmer. N 0 activity p reva il e d i n R uss i an an d A ustr i an Funds, the latter were much depressed and freely offered. At Frankfort, 15th instant, the Exchange opened eat, but somewhat improved towards the close. The half -monthly liquidation is expected to pass e ver easily, as th ere i s no scarcity of the various sto c k s. a At the P ar i s Bourse yesterday there was much gita tion, the sp ecu l a ti ons b e i ng most l y f or t h e f all, arid sellers did not even secure themselves by pre- . van litl te, so su re were they of covering themselves ad ° in a few days. Every o ne i s so muc h eetttageously Pied with t h e po li t i ca l s i tuat i on that the balance sheet of the Bank is scarcely noticed, though it "'tains some interesting features. Itespecting the corn trade at Birmingham Mr. W. B. Cave states as follows, under date of the 17th : With the exception of yesterday the weather Z„ ur ieg the week has continued showery and foggy. r heat t rade at all the markets held up to Monday 44elti sire were in an excited state, and holders found ad d ifficulty i n rea li s i ng a f ur th er cons id era bl e ~a ne e, say 3 s . t o 4 s. per qr.; an d our m ill ers were fl'A3lllPelied to protect themselves by again raising the 1 , 7 °11r 3 s. 4 d. per sack.

I repeat a—barsut t the cause of the late ad van ce w as b r ou g ht by a sadly deficient harvest—generally expected to have been an abundant one—and by th e general exhaustion of old wheat throughout the t cgin trY• Forei gn arr i va l s are now more liberal, eei pted by o ur hi g h pr i ces; farmers' deliveries also are increasing.

F oreign wheat neglected, uelders being unwilling to sell at late rates. The following remarks upon the Manchester Markets are from th e c i rcu l ar of Messrs. Alexander collie and Co. : ` During the first half of the fo r t n i g ht thi s mar ket continued in the depressed condition we re (ll3cirted at the close of our last circular, yet the , eal atid, although devoid of animation, and f °t of an extensive character for any article O r ci allY, was sufficient to:prevent an accumulation Fi teek, or an extended resort to the short-time blievetuent.

Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram this morning, the French Rentcs were 66f. 92f. Better. The market for the English Funds opened this morning with zn uncertain appearance, but yester day afternoon it was evident that the " Bears" were realising their profits. The purchases neces sary for this purpose have been resumed to-day, and the result, as usual, has been a slight reaction. In consequence, Consols are now per cent. higher than the quotations of last evening, as they are now, 93i for transfer and account. A little more confidence has also been produced by the fact that the French Rentes, per telegram just received, are a few centimes higher, and that Italian Stock, after its recent depreciation, is a little firmer. Much attention has been paid in the House to the logical and lucid remarks made by the Premier at Man chester. His remarks, especially with reference to strikes and the co-operative system, have led to much conversation, and his lordship's politico economical views are regarded with great satis faction. The New Threes are 911 92 ; Reduced An nuities, 911 92 ; Exchequer Bills, 265. to 30s. pfem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1131 1141 ; do. 4 per Cents., 991 1004 ; Enfaced do. 881 ; do. 5 per Cents., 1041 ; do. 51 per Cents., 1091 ; and do.

In the market for American Securities Erie Shares have declined 45 451 ; Illinois , I, to 774- ; whilst United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced i t , to 68- 1. Heaviness has again prevailed in the Railway Share Market, Caledonian, owing to sales, having declined 21. Metropolitan have receded ; Brighton k ; and Great Eastern, Great Western, and London, Chatham, and Dover each ; ; while North• Western and Midland have each improved I. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little varia tion. Sambre and Meuse are marked 64 ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have declined to 13k f ; East Indian to 110 ; Great Western of Canada to 154 1 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada to 178.

RIDDING TOWN OF A BRACE OF DANGEROUS FELLOWS.—Two well-dressed. young men, who gave the tames of Claire Montague and Henry Maltravers, were charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, said—About 20 minutes to two this morning I saw the prisoners in conversation with several pros titutes in Piccadilly. The prisoners left Pic cadilly and walked into the Haymarket, and spoke to some of the females frequenting the place. The females said they did not want any " Mary Anns" there (that term being applied to men of a certain character), and that they had enough to do to get their own living. A large crowd collected, and there was a great dis turbance, some of the fetnaleS calling the pri soner Maltravers " Kate Smith." The prisoner& mode of life was well known, and they had in consequence been denied admission to several places of public amusement. Mr. Knox—Do you mean to say that Maltravers goes out in female's clothes ? Sergeant Shillingford—He does not do that, but they both see gentlemen and frequent urinals. They appear very different now to what they did last night, being then painted and powdered, and difficult to tell whether they were males or females. When we took the prisoners to the station they were hooted and hissed by a number of females and others. The prisoners refused their addresses, but said they had just come from Brighton, and had been living at the Grosvenor Hotel. Wm. Mickleborough, 128 A R—l heard two females say, " Here are two Mary Anne come to look for a living that we ought to get." A crowd of 200 persons collected, and about 150 followed the prisoners to the station. dr. Knox—There was such a disturbance as might have resulted in a breach of the peace ? kickleborough—There was. We could hardly keep the women from attacking the prisoners ou the way to the station. Montague said he was simply speaking to two females, and had never been in custody before ; and Maltravers (a fair and effeminate young man) said he had been drinking. Mr. Knox—This is one of the most disagreeable cases I have had before me for many a long day. Last night you do not appear to have been guilty of such conduct as would justify me in sending you either to the Sessions or the Central Criminal Court, but by the way in which you comported yourself you caused a crowd to assemble and a breach of the peace was likely en suing in consequence. I shall require each of you to find bail in the sum of £5O each to be of good behaviour for the next six months and to enter into your own recognisances in £lOO each. THAMES. STEALING COALS BY A MERCHANT'S CLERK.-- Jonathan Young, clerk to Messrs. Richett and Smith, the well-known coal merchants in Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a half ton of coals, the property of his employers, and sentenced to one month's imprison ment and hard labour. THE PASCAL AND NEWTON FORGERIES. The following remarks have been addressed by Sir David Brewster to M. Chevreul, the President of the French Academy of Sciences, but which can not for some time appear in the proceedings of that body _ _ " The descent of two great Monarchs into the arena of the Papal controversy as the correspon dents, the counsellors, and the reprovers of Sir Isaac Newton obliges his friends to study this new and almost ludicrous fragment of the most auda cious forgery of modern times. " Sir Isaac Newton is charged with having, in a letter to Huygens, written some years before, used expressions reflecting on the scientific character of Descartes and Pascal. These expressions, it ap pears, were communicated to Louis XIV. by Huy gens himself, the friend of Newton, and on this occasion the betrayer of his confidence. The King and his Court are said to have taken offence at Newton's expressions, and when Newton is in formed of the Royal displeasure he prepares a letter of apology, which, after being approved of by M. Desmaizeaux, he forwards to Louis XIV. 'I am anxious,' he says, 6 to retract the expressions which, from my ignorance of the meaning of certain French words, I did not know would be so offensive.' The King sends this letter to the Abb6 Bignon, who informs Newton that the King accepts his apology, and thanks him for it.' "It will require, we think, some faith, even in the countrymen of Pascal, to believe that Louis XIV., " God's Vicegerent upon earth,' would con descend to meddle in a petty question of phi losophy. " Not less strange and incredible is the allega tion that James 11. and Sir Isaac Newton, two Englishmen, should write numerous idlers to each other in French, two of which have been published by M. Chasles. In one of these, dated at St. Ger mans, 16th January, 1685, and signed ' Jaques R.,' he charges Newton with injustice to Pascal, and asks him to retract and apologise for it. Now this letter is obviously a forgery. James 11. was not at St. Germans in January, 1685, and if ho bad been there he could not have signed Jacques R., as he was then Duke of York, and did not succeed to Charles 11. till February 6, 1689. "It is possible that 1685 may be an error of the press for 1689, and therefore giving the forger the benefit of this supposition, we shall examine the other letter of James 11., dated the 12th of January, 1689, in which he also asks from Newton a retrac tation of his expressions against Pascal. At this date James 11. was at St. Germans, but he had arrived there only 15 days before the date of this letter —an outcast from his throne, and with higher duties to discharge than that of writing letters in the inte rests of a stranger. At this very time, too, he was in anxious communication with Louis XIV., and making preparations for a descent upon Ireland, where he landed in February, 1689 and we should not wonder if one of his other letters to Newton should bo dated on the day of the battle of the Boyne. " But if it is incredible that the Royal exile should be writing letters to Newton in these anxious moments of his life, it is equally incredible that Newton should be writing numerous letters, or even one letter, to James. Newton had always been his enemy w hen he was the S overe i gn of Eng land, and he 'sever could have been his correspon dent. He had opposed James 11. in his attempt to insult the University of Cambridge, and he went with a deputation to London, and succeeded in re sisting his arbitrary mandate. In 1689, when the forger engages him in writing nnumerous letters to the exiled King, he was busy at Cambridge in re conciling the Jacobites in the University to the Government of William of Orange. " In the letter to M. Desmaizeaux, in which he consults him about his apology to the French King, and which must have been written in 1689, Newton conjectures that Flatnsteed must have had some thing to do in the matter of his supposed injustice to Pascal. This conjecture alone proves the letter to be a forgery. Newton and Flamsteed were at this time great friends, and, having had occasion to examine the whole of the correspondence between these distinguished individuals, I have no hesitation in asserting that it was not till the middle of 1691 that those differences arose which could have justi fied Newton in suspecting the sincerity of his friend."

MEETING THIS DAY. The half-yearly meeting of the mortgagees of this Company took place at the Victoria Station, West minster, Mr. Hodgson in the chair, this day, for the purpose of electing a mortgagee director, pursuant to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Arrangement) Act, 1867. After some preliminary remarks the names of Mr. Powell and ME. Pcll were proposed re.Tectively for the office. A great deal of discussion ensued, in which some serious remarks were made relative to the conduct of Mr. Hodgson, but the choice of the meeting had not been made when we went to press. AJJEWCAN SQUADRON AT SPITIMAD The official visit paid by the Commanding Ad miral-in-Chief of the United Stat , s' Navy, Admiral Farragut, to the commanding military and naval authorities at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, on the arrival of the United States' screw frigate Franklin, at Spithead, was duly returned yesterday morning by a visit paid to Admiral Farragut, on board his flagship by Port Admiral and Naval Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, K.C.B. ; Lieut.. General Sir G. Buller, K.C.B. ; Lieut.- Governor of Portsmouth and Military Corn manden.in-Chief, and Admiral Superintendent G. G. Wellesley, C.B. The gallant officers embarked from the dockyard on board the steampaddle yacht Vivid, and on disembarking from her on board the Franklin, at Spithead, the English ensign was hoisted at the fore of the American frigate and saluted, the compliment being returned by Sir T. Pasley's flagship, the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour. The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right lion. Henry Thomas Lowry Corry, M.P., accompanied by First Sea Lord Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., the Director-General of Naval Ordnance, Rear-Admiral Astley Cooper Key, C. 8., and Capt. T. Brandreth, private secretary to the First Lord, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday by the train due from Victoria station at 12 50, on a special visit to the commander-in chief of the naval forces of the United States, on the occasion of his visit to Spit head and Portsmouth. Mr. Corry, with his col leagues and private secretary, accompanied by Port-Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pasley, embarked from the dockyard on board the Admiralty paddle yacht, Black Eagle, staff Commander Whillier, the Admi ralty ensign being saluted by her Majesty's ship Victory, and proceeded out to Spithead, where they joined Admiral Farragut on board his flagship, the Franklin. On their lordships stepping on board the American frigate her crew "manned yards," and the English flag was hoisted at her fore royal masthead and saluted with 19 guns, the compliment being re turned immediately by her Majesty's ship Victory running up the ensign of America and saluting it with a like number of guns. The Lords of the Admiralty remained on board the Franklin, the guests of Admiral Farragut, until nearly 5 p.m., when they bade adieu to their gallant host and re embarked in their yacht for the shore, under re newed honours from the American frigate. Their Lordships landed from the Black Eagle at the Southsea Pier, and returned to London by the 5 10 p.m up train to the Mid Sussex, London, Brighton, and South Coast line. The Mayor of Portsmouth has invited Admiral Farragut and his officers to a banquet in honour of their visit to Portsmouth, but the reply received by his Worship expresses the regret of the Admiral of his inability to accept the invitation, owing to the intended departure of the Franklin and her tender the Tropic for Lisbon, on Sunday or Monday next. THE LORD MATOR'S PROCESSION.--It is under stood that a memorial from the loading merchants and bankers of the city of London is about to be presented to Mr. Alderman Allen, the Lord Mayor Elect, in order that the procession on the 9th of November may be so arranged as to prevent the necessity for any of the thoroughfares being closed. The ceremony might be conducted in due state without involving any material interruption of the general traffic, and a conviction is therefore entertained that the request will be unhesitatingly complied with, especially as the circumstance of the alternative route of Holborn-hill being this year blocked up would greatly ag gravate the ordinary chances of disorder, and much in crease the responsibility that would be incurred through any neglect of an obvious remedy. A FEMALE VETERAN.--•An aged widow, named Elizabeth Francis, applied to the Canterbury Board of Guardians on Tuesday for relief. The relieving officer stated that applicant was 102 years of age, had been mar ried twice to soldiers, and had accompanied one of them throughout the Peninsular campaign. She was in pos session of the whole of her faculties, and when he (the officer) saw her she was engaged in scrubbing her humble dwelling. Tho guardians granted the old lady 4s. per week. RAILWAY COLLISION.—The engine of a third class train on the London and North Western Railway from Manchester, which was duo at Leeds at 6.20 p.m. on Wednesday, ran into another engine close to the terminus. The engine which obstructed the line was stationary, and without a single person in charge of it. The arrival train was proceeding but slowly, or the consequences would most likely have been very serious. There were many passengers and all were much shaken and alarmed, but they could walk to their several homes. The engine -driver and stoker were the greatest sufferers, but will soon be at work again. ELECTION OF A DOCK SOLICITOR AT LIVERPOOL. —Mr. John North, who recent': resigned his office as solicitor to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, was yesterday granted a retiring allowance of £l,OOO. The board subsequently elected as successor to Mr. North, at a salary of .£2,000 for the first year, with £2,500 per annum afterwards, and no retiring allowance, Mr. A. T. Squarey, a local solicitor, who has been for several years profes sionally connected with the Steamship Association and the American Chamber of Commerce. It was stated that Mr. Squarey's appointment had been favourably received by both the commercial community and his professional brethren. CHILD MURDER.—Last evening the deputy coroner for Westminster held an inquest upon the body of a newly-born female child which had been found in a passage leading to a school-room at Bedfordbury. Medical evidence proved that the infant had been born alive, and murdered by the head being crushed. There was no trace of the guilty parties, and the jury returned an open verdict of " Wilful murder against some persons unknown." SURREY LICENSING DAY.—At the usual October Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey yesterday, the Court proceeded to hoar and adjudicate upon applica tions for music and dancing licenses. Mr. Penrhyn, the deputy chairman, presided, supported by a number of magistrates. Several unopposed applications for renewal of licenses were taken first. Mr. Oppenheim made an ap plication on behalf of Mr. G. T. Clark, for a music and dancing license for the Lilford Arms, Lilford-road, Cold barbour-lane, Camberwell. Mr. Thompson opposed the application on behalf of a number of the residents in the neighbourhood, on the ground that the house in question was a nuisance. After some witnesses had been heard the license was refused. On the motion of Mr. E. Clark, an application by Mr. R. Gurney, the proprietor, for a license for music and dancing, was granted for the Bells at Rich mond. At the instance of Mr. Thompson, a license for music and dancing was granted to Mr. Robert Edwin Millers, for the South London Music Iran, in the London road, Southwark. The Court then applied itself to the disposal of the criminal business of the sessions. THE REFORM LEAGUE.—A special meeting of the general council and delegates from tho various branches of the Reform League was hold last evening, at the Sussex Hotel, 133uverie-street, for the purpose of considering the best means of obtaining the repeal of the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Bill. Mr. G. Mantle presided. It was resolved—" That, in consequence of the increasing dissatisfaction of the people with the ratepaying and other clauses of the Reform Bill, the proposed banquet of the League I o entirely abandoned." A resolution was then adopted, calling a national convention of delegates from the various branches of the League, and from all other Reform associations in the three kingdoms, to moot in London in February next, to discuss the best means of obtaining the repeal of the ratepaying clauses of the Re form Act, and to reiterate the demand of the people for manhood suffrage and the ballot. Another resolution was also carried, condemning the arming of the police as a measure tending to interfere with the liberty of the sub ject, and assimilating the police of this country to that of the Continent. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TIIE SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR THE TRIAL OF FENIANS.—Notiees have been issued fixing the special gaol delivery for the trial of the Fenian prisoners iu this city, for Saturday, 26th inst.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was only moderate ; nevertheless, owing to the arrival of a large number of vessels off the coast laden with grain, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and, to have forced sales, lower rates must have been submitted to. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, in which very little business was transacted at barely Monday's currency. Inferior Black Sea wheat was freely offered at a decline of from Is to 2s per quarter. The best qualities were held on former terms. There was a moderate inquiry for both English and foreign barley, at about stationary prices. The malt trade was inactive, nevertheless the quotations were supported. Oats were in moderate supply, and steady request, al 'ull currencies. Both beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday &Flour, seeds, and cakes were firm in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat.

The brig Ruth, of London, bound from Sombrero to Gloucester with a cargo of phosphate of lime, went ashore this morning on the Saunton Sands during heavy squally weather (reports -R. W. Cotton, Esq.) She was discovered in the surf at daybreak, and the " George and Catherine " Life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution was there upon promptly launched, and gallantly rescued the whole of the crew of nine men, and brought them ashore in safety. The cost of this valuable lifeboat was the gift to the National Institution last year of George Jeremy, Esq., and Mrs. Jeremy, of Lea Coombe House, Devon. Shipwreck and Loss of Ssveral Lives. WEntoura, Oct. 17, 4 p.m. At half-past 8 this morning a boat was seen in the West Bay making for that much-dreaded spot known as the Cheail Beach—a ridge of pebbles ex tending about nine miles. It was blowing half a gale of wind, and the boat struck, and engulfed the men. The Coastguard went to work, and in the course of the day recovered four bodies. From the papers thrown ashore it would appear that they had abandoned the schooner Eleanor Woodburn, of Barrow-in Furness, Lancashire, 127 tons register and 220 burden, Jas. Eccles, master.

According to appointment, Mace and Baldwin, accompanied by their friends, again waited ou the stakeholder this morning at the office of Bell's Life in London, all anxious to hear the opinion of the legal gentleman to whom the circumstances respect ing the disagreeable affair were referred. The opinion was a very brief one, and was to the effect that even if the battle did come off in France either of the men could be taken into custody on arriving in England for an assault on one of her Majesty's subjects towards whom they were bound in heavy sureties to keep the peace. There is an old saying that there is " honesty among thieves," but it would appear that in the contem plated battle some of the parties quarrelled respect ing the division of the 13 tickets for the special train, and hence a traitor in the camp gave the " office" where to find Mace. Such is the rumour, and it is generally believed to be founded on fact. The result will now be that the stakes must be with drawn, and we believe a day will be appointed for that purpose. AUSTRIA.
