711 1 HIR fHE SUN, LON vON. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1367. MONEY MARKET AND +. 3 OIIMERCIAL INTELLIGKNek TWELVE O'CLOCK. There continues to be a moderate inquiry for ac commodation in the general Discount Market, but not sufficient to stimulate any advance in the rates, which still remain at 11 1 per cent. for the negociation of first-class short-dated paper. The Master of the Rolls directed yesterday the payment of a further dividend of ls. in the pound to the creditors of the Joint Stock Discount Com pany (Limited). This will make, with former dividends, 10s. in the pound. Annexed is Messrs. Alex. Collie and Co.'s Man chester report :—" Friday, November Sth.—There is a better feeling, and buyers would operate to a fair extent, at Tuesday's full rates, but producers are demanding an advance of 3d. per piece, which is limiting business." The General Bond of the Imperial Russian Go vernment and of the Orel Vitebsk Railway Com pany's has been deposited in the Bank of England. It will be seen from this important document that the Imperial Russian Government not only guarantees to the holder of each bond the regular and punctual payment of the interest upon and redemption thereof, but expressly covenants to secure the timely provision of the needful funds for the said purpose, and binds itself, whenever, and if ever, necessary, to provide the said funds itself ; consequently the service of this loan is in all respects as regards the Imperial Government identical with any other loans contracted by it. The movements of the precious metals during the week have been on an extremely limited scale, the imports only amounting to about £71,440, includ.• ing £20,400 from New York by the New York, and £1,500 by the City of London. The Bazalore from Alexandria has brought £6,741 ; about £38,799 in gold has been received from Portugal ; and £4,000 in.silver from the Continent. The ex ports have comprised £20,000 to Bombay by the Ceylon, and there have been remittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at £316,352, the total amounting to £336,352. A meeting of the creditors of Louis Maggi and Co mpany, ship-chandlers of London and Cardiff, Was held to-day, William C. Clarke, of the firm of Barnard, Thomas, and Co., accountants of Car diff, in whose hands the affairs had been placed, presented a statement of accounts as follows : pr. to sundry creditors unsecured, as per schedule, £ 1 2,208 16s. Bd. ; on bills payable open account, 3,26 6 Os. 11d. ; total, £15,474 17s. 2d. ; there Were also rent, taxes, and wages in Cardiff and London, to be paid in full, £lO5. On the other side Were the following stock iu trade at Cardiff, as per inventory, £2,742 17s. 6d. ; London stock in trade, (at cost) £4BB 19s. 10,1; plant, trade fixtures, and cla ce furniture at C ar diff (at va l ua tio n ) £54 4s. 6d. ; household furniture at Cardiff (valued) £5O ; plant, trade fixtures in London, £lO ; book debts con sidered good at Cardiff, £2Bl 12s. 10d. ; ditto ditto ia London, £lO4 Os. 4d. ; cash balance in hand, £l5B 11s. 9d. ; total £3,840 65., which would he reduced by preferential claims to the extent of liabi lities £lO5, so th at t h e real statement was that the were £15,474 17s. 2d., to meet which were assets amounting to £3,735 6s. Mr. Clarke said he had b een afforded very little assistance by the insolvent. The books had been very indifferently kept, and had sot been balanced properly for some time. Mr. T. H. Stereu s . ,solicitor to the trustees, also add r e s sed th e rueeting A proposition was made by the solicitor, acting for Mr. Maggi, to the effect that the cre ditors should take 4s. in the pound, 2s. 6d. down, a nd 1 8. 6d. in three months. ~,„4 Very long discussion ensued, of a very com plimentary character as affecting the firm in diffi culties, and eventually the creditors accepted an amended offer of ss. in the pound, to be paid on the day of registration, and Mr. Maggi executing a deed of held assignment, and his stock in trade to be by trustees as security for the payment. With regard to the South-Eastern Railway of Portugal, it is stated that the arrangement which Alt. Laing, M.P., had to announce at the meeting of the bondholders on Thursday last, the 7th inst., will no doubt be received with very general satis faction by the parties whose investments will be rescued by it from a position of undeniable danger. It must be admitted that the failure of the company to fulfil its contract, however much to be palliated 12 7 the exceptional circumstances that paralysed the Whole world of commerce and enterprise during and si nce the year 1866, laid them under the several Penalties, which there are Governments to be frond who would have insisted on enforcing O ng all thoughts of equity or leniency ; 0 1 , Vie w of a fallacious p ros p e ct of some ..--upora rY gain. The Lisbon Cabinet have taken course no less liberal than statesmanlike. The bo ndholde rs are to b e paid in full with coupons bewn to the I s t J u l y, 1868, in a Government stock a Z i ng 7 per cen t . i nterest ; and, in addition, there be a h alf per cent. sinking fund, that will pay off ' se _the wh o l e of the principal at par within about co ve n Years. Th en t h e ot h er class of capitalists byucerneci—the shareholders—are to b e care d f or t _an exactly s i m i lar arrangement, save that the a.`"f't fulfilrnent of the c on t rac t i s t o b e f urn i s h e d b y ef f orfeiture of all interest prior to 1867, and a fine in 40 per cent. on the sh are cap it a l, leav itig a balance of £625,000 to be provided th e I th e way just stated. Very probably uolders of thi s port i on o f the capital will T . M ble at the loss thus entailed, but the bulk of the tha,tecl interest will be of opinion with Mr. Laing o ,.._`lbe penalty inflicted is not excessive under the dul y executed, Nations have a right to find the work viiiYchez_ecuted, both as to time and other points, for both shareholders are called on to pay. The great point for that Bnareholders and bondholders is to be satisfied th e• conditions laid down for the payment of e 'ect _ c • l pal and i nterest are capable of fulfilment. The b een of the Portuguese Government has hitherto k Properly maintained, and it is satisfactory to la t 4 th a t in a c _ our " old and faithf u ll y a ll y " i s per f ect l y re nd ition Zeo to discharge engagements i nf i n i tely "emus than those her Cortes will be asked 4 ai r, l tne in conne x i on w ith th e S outh-Eastern in ecie " a Y of Portugal.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Willa+, Byles, and Smith. MISS FRAY AGAIN AND THE SHERIFF OFFICERS. Miss Fray rose at the conclusion of the motions in this court, and said—l have a motion to make, my lord, in the case of Owens v. Fray, relative to the conduct of a solicitor named Sadler. I forgot to mention last night the honourable conduct of the judges here, especially to mention that of the late Lord Chief Justice. The Lord Chief Justice—What does your motion relate to, Miss Fray? Miss Fray—l want a rule to compel this man Sadler to show cause why he should not answer to this court, of which he is an officer, for unprofes sional conduct. I will enter into the pith of the matter directly, but I must first enter into the conduct of the sheriff officers, and a lot of men, I don't know what they can be called ; they are worse than Fenians. (Laughter.) There is nothing to laugh at. They want to kill me as they did my father. It is cruel to laugh. lam quite unfit to speak to-day, and I think it unfair to attempt to intimidate me. It is not because lam crushed that I am to be treated in this way. The Lord Chief Justice—The Court cannot help some little laughter amongst the bystanders. Come to the point, Miss Fray. Miss Fray—Well, my lord, in the first place, the defendants taxed my costs behind my back. This was honourable conduct. The case was tried on the 10th of July, and I remained in town till the 19th August. I then went to stay in Shrop. shire, and then to my mother's house in Mon mouthshire, where I remained till Friday last, and the defendants well knew that I was there. When I was busy in Chancery-lane on Saturday I was arrested by a sheriff's officer named Chapman, who said that if I went with him to Lumley's I could remain until . I could- send to my friends and pay the money. After I got there I was some time before the man there would let me have a messen ger. At last I got a boy, and he returned and said he had seen my eldest brother, and he would come directly. Before he arrived the officers insisted upon my going to Whitecross-street. I remonstrated with them about it, and offered to pay twice the money, and some ladies and gentlemen who were staying there implored that I might remain. This was not allowed, and then I was treated very cruelly. They dragged me downstairs, and so tore me about that I am almost black and blue, and also tore my clothes, which are worth some pounds. I was just on the point of getting over an attack of congestion on the brain, and these are certificates from an eminent man. I was then taken into a dark recess, and finally forcibly removed to Horscmonger-lane Gaol. My friends, however, did get in, and saw the state I was in. They tendered more than the amount on Monday. It was arranged on Saturday that I should be got out on Monday. To say nothing about my health, a most important business has been ruined through it. My friends tendered more than the amount, but the solicitor would not take it, and kept me full five hours, as well as putting my friends to great inconvenience. The Lord Chief Justice—lt is not your own solicitor, then, against whom you are speaking ? Miss Fray—No, my lord ; I conducted the case in person. The Lord Chief Justice—ls that your own affidavit you are reading from, or some one else's ? Miss Fray—l have no affidavit, but I can get those of my own and my broker's and my lady friends. The Lord Chief Justice—The Court cannot allow you to make a statement without it is on affidavit—that is the practice of the Court. Miss Fray—l will get the affidavits drawn up and presented on the neat motion day—that will I be next Tuesday. The Lord Chief Justice—Then there is a pro bability that they will not be irrelevant. Miss Fray—All I have stated is true, my lord. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SPEEDY RETURN TO PRISON.—EIIen Coleman, a woman who has spent a large portion of her life in prison, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with being drunk and behaving in a refractory manner at St. James's Workhouse. Bradley, the porter of St. James's Workhouse, said yesterday afternoon the prisoner came to the workhouse. She was drunk and demanded to be admitted, and made use of much bad language, and behaved in such a refractory manner that he was compelled to give her into custody. On the 4th of last month she was coumitted one month for a simi lar offence. Prisoner—Forgive rue. I have only just come out of prison, after being there a month. Inspector Harrison —We were obliged to have a doctor to the prisoner last night, as she had a fit. Prisoner—Forgive rie. I had a fit. Mr. Knox—lf you persist in gin drinking you will have fits and die a miserable death. You are never out of the hands of the police, and you are the greatest drunkard in existence. You will be fined 40s. or a month as a drunk and disorderly person, and by going to prison you will be taken care of if you have fits. The prisoner (as she was leaving the court) said, i 4 I will make away with myself." WESTMINSTER. A FALSE ALARM.—Charles Dickeng, in the trowsers and shirt of a soldier, was charged on his own confession with being a deserter from the 6th Regiment. Police-constable Clark, 47 B, said about half past 7 on Friday evening the prisoner came to the Westminster station and said lie wished to give himself up as a deserter from the 6th Regiment of Foot. He was asked if he was on furlough, and he said he was a deserter 7 days. He was drunk. Prisoner—l only had a little drink. Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by your conduct? Prisoner —I am not a deserter. _ _ Mr. Selfe—Then you area rogue and vagabond, for such the law denomin4tes those who give them selves up as deserters when they are not. I don't mean that as abuse, but ; the words of the Act of Parliament say so. Prisoner—l didn'tknow where to go to, so I came to the station to be takeu pare of. Mr. Selfe—You describe }yourself as a clerk. Inspector Humphreys—Be said he was orderly clerk. . _ Mr. Selfe—l ratherthinkhe was a disorderly clerk, but if he wants to be taken care o f I w ill t a k e care of him. Constable Clark—He has military trousers and shirt on. Prisoner, who now assumed a more serious air, said—l came from Edinburgh on furlough, and having lost my money and furlough I did not know what to do, and I came.to the station. lam not a deserter. Mr. Selfe—Where is the military coat that you wore ? Prisoner—l left my coat at my sister's in Drury lane. I don't know her name. The number is 26. Mr. Humphreys—lle gave another address— Prisoner—l hope you won't remand me. I only did it because I had nowhere to go. Mr. Selfe—l shall certainly remand you. Prisoner—l hope not. I shall get into trouble if you do. _ Mr. Selfe—l shall remand you till Friday next for inquiries. THAMES. ➢IR. PAGET AND OUTRAGES ON THE POLICE.— Patrick Flinn, a rough Irishman, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting John Kant, 341 K, and Herbert Butt, 62 K. Last night, at a late hour, Kent was called upon to take a drunken and disorderly woman, who had broken four panes of glass with a hammer. Kent arrested the woman, and took the hammer from her. Kent was conducting his prisoner to the station house when the prisoner accosted him ) and in a boisterous manner said, " Let her go." - Kent told him to mind his own business, on which t he prisoner made use of very foul language, and after tzlang the hammer from the constable made a blow .at his head with it. Kent parried the blow on his head by his activity, and it fell on his shoulder . A struggle ensued, and the woman escaped. :ant took his truncheon from his pocket, and warner the prisoner, but did not use the stick- Butt, a ;ser geant, came to the assistance of Kent, and the pri soner struck him repeatedly and made several at tempts to throw him. The prisoner, who g , ..ve much trouble to the police, was secured. Mr. Paget, after hearing that the prisoner had been in custody before, intimated to the prisoner and all persons disposed to attack the, police in the execution of their duty or to assault them in any way that they were liable on conviction by a. jury to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. if he thought fit he could send the prisoner for trial. A most dangerous weapon had been used. The pri soner struck at the constable's head wit h a hammer it would have taken effect but for the officer's acti-. vity. He could not help commending the forbearance of Kent, who drew his truncheon, but did not use it, which he would have been justified in doing. For tunately' neither of the constables were seriously injured. That circumstance induced him to decide the case summarily. Ile considered it was his duty and the duty of all magistrates to protect the police, who had dangerous duties to perform. Kent had shown great discretion and great forbearance in a very turbulent locality. If it was in his (the ma gistrate's) power he should inflict a more severe sentence than the one he was about to pass, and which was quite inadequate for the offence. lle sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprison ment and hard labour for one assault, and an.addi tional two months' imprisonment and. hard labour for the other, the sentences to be _conseoutive, in all four months' imprisonment and hard labour. Sufferings of a Ship's The screw steamer British Queen arrived in West Hartlepool on Thursday and landed the master and portion of the crew of the brig Brodres Haab, of Sarpsberg, Christiana, who had been picked up at sea in a small open boat 103 miles west of Heligoland. The story the poor men told of their sufferings was very heartrending. The vessel sprung a leak in a gale of wind on Mon day, and the men were kept at the pumps. On Tuesday the boats were got out and the crew put into them, Captain Kosar and five men man ning one and other four men in the small dingy. They had no provisions with them, hav ing been obliged hurriedly to leave the ship, as she capsized suddenly. They were all in a weak state when they left the vessel, and poorly clad. The sea became more violent, with a strong gale of wind, which soon separated the boats from each other. The occupants, on parting, feel ingly wished each other a speedy deliverance from the perilous position they were placed in. The poor fellows, however, had to undergo further privations. During the whole of that day their tiny boat, containing the captain and five men, was tossed about by the furious sea, and it required the united attention of the crew to keep her afloat. The surge of the sea was continually splashing into the boat, which two men were constantly baling out. Several seas threatened to overlap her, but she managed to escape the destructive gale. As night approached the effects of the hardship encountered by the men, through the intense cold and want of food, were apparent, and it was evident the men could not much longer maintain their position. They bravely kept up their hearts and struggled through the darkness of the night in expectation of being rescued. At daylight the captain was exhausted and was unable to render any assistance ; and another of the crew, shortly after, was too insensible to work. The remainder, although famishing, and scarcely able to hold their oars, struggled on until the afternoon, when the screw steamer British Queen fell in with them. They were all so much worn out that they had to be carried on board, where, however, by the kind attention of Captain Spence, they gradually rcco veral. On being told that there were other four of the crew in a very small boat, Captain Spence steamed about 20 miles in the hope of picking them up, but there was nothing to be seen of them, and it is feared that these poor fellows have perished.

The result of the trial of the second batch of Fenians at Manchester was not unexpected. For tunately for the prisoners one of the witnesses for the prosecution broke down entirely, and was obliged to admit that he was mistaken in his indentification of one of the accused. This circumstance naturally threw an air of doubt on the whole case, and the jury, in the exercise of a merciful discretion, found all the prisoners " not guilty." We cannot blame them for arriving at such a conclusion, for the evidence of John Beck, the railway clerk, as to William Martin (one of the men on their trial) was strange enough to shake, for the moment at any rate, their faith in the testimony offered as to the identity of the rest of the prisoners. Beck swore positively that he had seen W. Martin, at the time of the attack on the police van, throwing stones at the police and at civilians. After a close cross-examination it turned out that another prisoner, named John Martin, was the person whom the witness really meant to identify. The error was beyond explanation even by tha acute and learned Attorney-General. William Martin was no more like John Martin than Hamlet was like Her cules. William had rough red hair, John had smooth brown hair. William was untidy in his dress, John was the reverse. The witness, however, says the Times reporter, " did not seem much disconcerted by this discovery." We heartily sympathise with the indignation with which the prisoners' counsel denounced such reckless swearing. Where two men are as like as two Dromios, a witness may well be confounded. But it is difficult to frame an ex cuse for a man who comes forward coolly to swear indifferently to either John or William, to a ragged man with red rough hair, or to a neat man with smooth brown hair. Without particular reference to this man Beck's evidence, it may be doubted whether the present method of identifying criminals is satisfactory. As a general rule the process is con ducted within prison walls, and the witnesses, whilst examining the countenances of different prisoners, are immediately under the -eye . of—the police. Now we have no desire to impute conscious unfairness to any officers of justice. Still it must be remembered that policemen are so familiar with guilt that they are apt to be a little incredulous of innocence. They have an interest unquestionably that a man .whom they have arrested one any charge should turn out to be the right man, and hence, without any desire to do wrong, they may voluntarily direct a witness's attention to the person whom they conceive to be the real criminal. We believe that greater precautions ought to be taken to insure the impartial conduct of the process of identification. The suspected person ought to be placed amongst a number of others, and the scrutiny should always be conducted hi the absence of those police who are directly interested in the case. Under no circumstances ought an accused man to be specially marked. We quite agree with Mr. Seymour that it was not dealing fair play to Martin that he should be subject to identification whilst chained to another. At the best evidence to identify is not the most reliable sort of evidence, and when it has been obtained by questionable means it becomes absolutely worthless. Re cognition, we may add, should never be stimu lated by the hope of a reward. The policy of offer ing rewards is in all cases doubtful, for, although the days when " professional" witnesses used to lurk about courts of justice ready to swear anything for a guinea, have, happily, passed away, there are still men to be found who are not proof against pecuniary temptation. But to offer money for evidence of identity is, we conceive, utterly useless. Plenty of evidence may be pro duced by such means. It is easier to identify per sons than to invent circumstances. The quality of the evidence obtained, however, will probably be inversely as its quantity.—Solicitor ' Jeuri;«l, BRITISH 1' Atlantio A St. LanTenoO Boni., Baroda, A Cen.ln. gu. 5 per cent... Do.

COLLISION BETWEEN Two MEN-or-WAR.—One of the most extraordinary collisions that have taken place in the harbour for a long time occurred on Monday night. During the last week, besides the flagship Mersey, two war-ships have been lying at Queenstown—viz., the frigate Liffey and ram Research. Between eleven and one o'clock in the night the Mersey got loose from her moorings, and, there being a strong ebb tide at the time, she was drifted down until she struck against the Liffey. NotAhstaud standing the unceasing efforts of the men, aid by ap pliances of every description, they did not succeed in dis entangling the vessels before morning.
