According to Reuter's Telegram from Paris this day, the French Three per Cent. Rentes were at 67 70. Rather firm. Gold at Paris is 1-10th dearer than in London. Consols, after an improvement of / per cent., have receded to their former price, viz., 94/ -I for money and the 7th proximo, and to 94 t- 1 for the December settlement. All the Stock Exchange markets have been re markably quiet.

Gold to the amount of £7,000 has been with drawn from the Bank of England. The following is Messrs. Alex. Collie and Co.'s report of the Manchester markets :—" The large business transacted last week has been followed to-day by comparative quietude, and both producers and buyers seem to rest satisfied with what they have done of late. Alanufacturers are mostly engaged for a couple of months, and they are con sequently indifferent about further orders, except at full rates, and buyers are unwilling to place con tracts that require so lengthened a period for de livery. The amount of business done to-day i s therefore small, but a few odd lots arc changing hands at a small concession from the'extreme prices of Friday." The specie by the Atrato consists of £lOl,OlO in gold, £136,000 in silver, and £250,000 in Mexican dollars. The latest arrivals cf tea from Foo- chow- Foo is by the Argonaut, which vessel has entered the West India Docks this afternoon with 1,310,000 lbs.

At present the market price for 0.3 Consolidated Bonds, the en hanced amount of securities, is about £300,000, or equivalent to over 10 per cent. on the whole amount of the debentures. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures remain steady at 251 2GI, but the Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds have declined 1, to 20 21.

MONEY LENDERS AND THEIR PRACTICES-Mr. Morris, solicitor, of No. 49, Leicester-square, accompanied by a gentleman, waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said that the gentleman, his client, being desirous of obtaining an advance of £4,000, and seeing an advertisement in a paper in which a person, residing at No. 61, Piccadilly, professed to lend money at 4 per cent., called upon the person with the view of obtaining the amount he required, and gave him as near as possible the particulars of the security he proposed to offer for the time, and these were pronounced to be satisfactory as far as could be told at the time. The person ultimately offered to advance his client some few hundreds in case he would require the money, and his solicitor approved the security offered. On the faith of these representations, and in the full belief that the per son had the necessary means at his command, his client handed him a cheque upon his bankers for ten pounds, which was duly paid, the person insisting on that amount as a pre liminary fee towards defraying the expenses of the loan. Some time afterwards his client again called upon the person, who asked him what he would agree to pay him in tho event of his succeeding in its completion, and asked him if ho would give £25 down and a promise of £75, which he agreed to do; and he gave the person a promissory note or bill of exchange for £25, payable on the Ist of Novem ber, and signed an agreement to pay the £75 on the completion of the advance. Finding that little or no progress was being made by the person to complete, he called on his solicitors ; and, in conse quence of the opinion they gave, and information that had subsequently been received by his client, he (Mr. 'Morris) was instructed to ask his worship's advice in the matter. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not do anything in .he matter, but he thought publicity being given xi the application might be attended with a good result. WESTMINSTER. DARING ROBBERIES OF CHURCIIES.—A Lancashire man, about 30 years of age, giving his name John Donnolly, was charged under the following circum- stances : The prisoner is at present a ticket-of-leave man. Three years ago he was charged, in company with his brother, at this court with stealing the copper wire guards which protect the stained windows of Westminster Abbey. They were found in posses sion of au apparatus consisting of a three-jointed rod, long cord, and hooks by which the latter were fixed upon the top of external wire work, while a handle at the other end of the cord enabled them to pull it down, however firmly fixed. It was stated that by these means, prisoners had robbed a vast number of churches throughout the country. Pri soner and his brother were both convicted and sen tenced to penal servitude for four years. George Epsom, 119 B, said that between 7 and 8 last night he saw the prisoner in company with another man, each carrying a large bundle. Sus iy2cting that something was wrong witness followed them from Brewers-green into llacre-street, West minster, where they entered a house. Witness fol lowed, and after a great struggle the man in com pany with the prisoner escaped, after throwing the constable heavily on the ground. On the spot two parcels containing a number of copper wire guards for church windows, neatly hammered up into a small compass, and weighing very heavy, were found. Police-constable 102 B proved being called by the previous witness, and endeavouring to take the second prisoner, who escaped Mr. Arnold—ls there any owner for the property, or any part of it ? Inspector Troughbridge—No doubt there will be; it is from church windows, probably iu the country —Berkshire or further. Prisoner was remanded for eight days. Law Intelligence—This Day. ARCHES COURT. TILE ST. ALBAN'S RITUAL CASE.-MARTIN V. MACK ONOCIIIE. It being arranged that the arguments in this case should be proceeded with to-day, Dr. Travers T w iss and Dr. Robertson, in lieu of the new Dean of Arches, who had formerly been counsel in the case, took their seats on the bench. Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Swabey, and Mr. Droop appeared for the pro moter. of the suit. Mr. Mackonochie was repre sented by Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., Mr. Prideaux, Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Charles. The charges against Mr. Mackonochie, as amended, are four :-1. The elevation of the Ilost ; 2, lighted candles on the altar at the tinn of the adunni,itratien of the holy Communion ; 3, The use of incense; 4, Mixing water with the wine at Communion. The questi9n of the Eucharistic vestments is not raised. Mr. James, Q.C., in the first instance, asked the commission appointing the judges might be read. This having been done, the learned gentleman objected to the formation of the court, and con tended that the Dean of Arches had no right to dele gate his powers, and, therefore, the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Prideaux followed on the same side. Mr. J. Stephens, for the promoter of the suit, also objected to the constitution of the Court, as great difficulty might arise in the event of tho trial resulting in a division of opinion arising on the bench. Dr. Robertson said, should such an eventuality arise, he, as junior judge, would more than likely withdraw his judgment. Dr. Travers Twiss said the objection by both parties had taken him by surprise. He thought the best course to pursue was to overrule the objection under protest. This would give time for the opinion of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench being taken, and in order that that course might be adopted, he would adjourn the proceedings there until that day fortnight. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder). TIIE ATTACK ON THE PRISON VAN. Henry Turner was indicted for assaulting the police, while in the execution of their duty, and also for assaulting them with a view to effect the rescue of Alice Turner. _ It will be recollected that the prisoner, with about one hundred roughs, were in waiting outside . the Clerkenwell Sessions' house when the van drove up to receive the prisoners, who had been sentenced by the Court. As the woman was stepping into the van the prisoner caught hold of her, and called upon the crowd to aid in a rescue. The police re pelled the attack, and succeeded in defeating the object of the prisoner, but not till they had been violently assaulted. They also succeeded in captur- ing the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. George Francis pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy, but alleged that the second wife was aware of the second marriage. _ _ The Court sentenced him to one month's impri sonment. THE MANCHESTER SPECIAL COM MISSION. MANCHESTER, Monday. The assize appointed to be holden under a special commission for the trial of the 26 men who have been committed on the charge of murdering Police- sergeant Brett, during the attack on the police van, on the 18th of September, which resulted in the liberation of (Colonel) Kelly and (Captain) Deasey, commenced this morning at ten o'clock, at which hour Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Dicconson, bil;11 sheriff, entered tho Crown Court and took their seats on the bench. The prisoners were brought over from the New Bailey Prison at eight o'clock this morning, in a police van escorted by a numerous body of military, consisting of two detachments of the Bth Ilussars and several companies of the 72d Highlanders. On the van itself were six policemen armed with re volvers. A large crowd followed the escort, but no manifestation of feeling took place. A strong guard of police were on duty in court and also outside the assize hall, a limited number of whom were armed with revolvers. Sentries of the 721 ll4,7hlanders were mounted in the corridors. As has been stated, the Attorney-General (Sir J. 13. Karslake), Mr. Iliggin, the deputy recorder for Manchester, and Mr. Hannen appeared to conduct ;he case on behalf of the Crown ; Mr. Digby Soy mour, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, Mr. Cottingham, and Mr. Ernest Jones appeared for the defence. The grand jury, with Sir Robert Tolvey Gerard, Bae., as their foreman, having been sworn, Mr. Justice Blackburn proceeded to charge the grand jury. His lordship said they had on the present occasion been called together by a special commission issued by her Majesty, which differed from the ordinary commissions in one respect only. They were aware that in general, when criminal trials came on, the commission issued was to try all crimes committed within the county, but the present commission was specially confined to such crimes as arose out of, or were in any way con . _ . nected with, the outrage perpetrated on the 18th o September. In the present case; therefore, they would have only to inquire .into the crimes arising out of that transaction. When the evidence was brought before them they would find beyond all doubt that, on the 18th September, two prisoners amongst others were brought up in custody before the magistrates, and that those two prisoners were conveyed in the usual way along the streets in a police van. There had been some reason to appre hend that an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners, and the number of police accompanying the van was increased, but no one suspected that such an attack as afterwards took place would be made. The place selected for the purpose of mak ing this attack was . chosen with considerable skill. Those who witnessed the attack might differ as to the number of the assailants, but there could be no doubt that the van was attacked by a considerable number for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners, an attempt in which they succeeded. During this attack there was a considerable number of pistol shots fired, and the police were struck and beaten with stones. Two policemen were wounded by pistol shots, and another, Charles Brett, was killed by a pistol shot, and the principal crime which they would have to inquire into were the circcumstances attending the death of Charles Brett, and how far the prisoners were guilty of the murder of that man. The grand jury would see that there were a variety of crimes committed. There was-the attempt to rescue, which p r o ve d success . ful, of two prieoners in lawful custody—itself a grave and dangerous crime. There was, moreover, the assault on the police in the execution of their duty, shuts being fired at them, which took effect in the case of two of them—which in itself constituted a very grave crime. But the great crime was the causing the death of Charles Brett, whose case they would principally investigate. That being so, the remarks he would address to them would be confined to affording them assistance in the investigation of the circumstances attending that crime. The learned judge detailed the circumstances attending the attack on the van, stating that there could be no doubt that, in consequence of Brett, in pursuance of his duty, refusing to give up the keys, the ven tilator having been forced open, he was fired at and shot in the head. lie must point out to them that though the man who fired the shot was the person who actually committed the crime, yet every person aiding and assisting was equally guilty of the crime of murder as the person who fired the shot ; and the point to which the grand jury would principally have to direct their attention would be whether, in the case of each prisoner, there was evidence sail cient to satisfy them that he was aiding and assist ing in the murder of Brett. They - would bear in mind that it was not essential, in order to constitute the crime of murder, that the main object should be to kill a particular individual. Murder was to kill with malice• aforethought, which did not mean that there should be an intention to kill the particular man. The law had always been held to be that where, for the purpose of accomplishing an unlawful act, violence known to be dangerous to human life was used, and death ensued, then that constituted the crime of murder. Wherever persons agreed, either tacitly or in express terms, that they would, for the purpose of performing an unlawful act, assist each other under circumstances leading to the conclusion that dangerous violence would be used, then all concerned in that general design were equally guilty of murder with the person who com mitted the act itself. Taking that as the direction of the law, and applying it to the present case, they could have no great diffieulty in seeing the points to which they would have to direct their attention. When they found a b)dy of persons assembled together, and attacking the police guard ing the van, and rescuing the prisoners, there could be no reason to doubt that every man who was con cerned in that attack was a party to the unlawful design of rescuing prisoners. Then, again, the very fact that there was a scheme to attack the police was, in itself, strong evidence that there was an intention to use dangerous violenc), for it was scarcely possible for any man to conceive that he could attack the police while in the execution of their duty and that no resistance would be made on their part. He might tell them that there would be nothing illegal or improper in joining all, or two or more, in one bill. The learned judge, in con clusion, impressed upon the gentlemen of the grand jury to consider the matters that would come before them calmly, deliberately, and dispassionately, with out any influence either one way or the other. The grand jury having retired to consider their bills, Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., rose and said he had to apply to their lordships for a postponement of the trial until the following morning. He and his learned friends who appeared with him had been so recently instructed that they felt that they should not do justice to the persons for whom they ap• peared if the trial were to proceed that day. The only object that the Crown could have was that a fair and impartial trial should take place. He was perfectly satisfied that not alone the ends of justice, but the economy of public time, which, after all, was a consideration in the administration of justice, would be considered by their lordships granting his application. Mr. Justice Blackburn said it was impossible to form any decision upon the proposal until after a bill had been found by the grand jury. Ho did not know what prisoners might be included iu the bill, nor were they aware what course the counsel fur the prosecution proposed to take. The grand jury, after the lapse of an hour and a half, returned into court, when Sir B. T. Gerard, the foreman, handed in true bills against William O'Meara Allen, Michael Larkin, William Gould, Thomas Maguire, and Edward Shaw. Thereupon the Clerk of the Crown directed that these five pri soners should be placed in the dock. This having been done, the Clerk of the Crown read over to each of the prisoners the indictment charging them with " having, at Manchester, on the 18th Sept., 1867, feloniously, wilfully, and of their malice afore thought, killed and murdered ono Charles Brett ;" and in reply to the question, "Are you guilty or not guilty ?" addressed severally to the prisoners by this official, they one and all replied in a firm voice, " Not guilty." The prisoners wear a pale look than when examined before the magistrate. Me. D. Seymour renewed his Application for a postponement of the trial until the following morn ing, adding a request that the counsel for the pri soners might be furnished ivith a copy of the jury panel. Mr. Justice Blackburn—For whom do you appear, Mr. Seymour ? Air. Seymour—l appear, my lord, for Allen, Larkin, and Maguire. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien said he appeared for Gould and Shaw. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he should like to hear what the Attorney-General had to say with refer ence to the application of Mr. Seymour. The Attorney-General said he would not for on moment oppose the application of his learned friend if their lordships thought the application was one which ought to be granted. After the declaration of his learned friend that they had not had time to consider the depositions satisfactorily, it would be unfair on his part to resist the application. With regard to the jury panel, that was not a matter with which he had to do. Mr. Justice Blackburn did not think there could be any objection to supply the information as to the panel,though it might not he practicable to give it at the present moment. The panel was limited as to number, and they had directed that additional jurymen should be summoned. If the learned counsel were furnished with a copy of the panel now ho might afterwards see who in addition had been summoned. The Attorney-General trusted that if the trial were postponed till to.morrow morning, no technical of jections would thou be taken or any delay offered to the trial proceeding. Mr. Justice Blackburn suggested that the learned counsel engaged on both sides should consult as to the course which it would be most convenient to take. He would suggest that his learned brother and himself should sit together to try the prisoners who had just been arraigned, and that, having decided any points of law which might be raised, they should then sit in separate courts in order to try the subsequent indictments. The only point for the Crown to consider was whether, having two courts sitting, the. same - witnesses might not be re quired at ono time in both courts. The Attorney-General said ho would consult with his learned friends, and endeavour to place the witnesses in such order as to obviate that difficulty. Mr. Seymour said in addition to being furnished with a copy of the panel ho should like also to have access to the jurors' book. Mr. Justice Blackburn—What do you want with the jurors' book? Mr. Seymour—We should like to have an op portunity of considering whether there may not be some objection to the array of jurors. Your lord ship may rely upon it that we shall raise no objec on which is not grounded upon constitutional principles. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he was under the im pression that the list of persons qualified as j urors was a public list made out by the overseers, which any person might see, and to order a particular book to be delivered seemed to him to - be beyond the power of the Court. Mr. Seymour said that if copies were to be had from any source that was all he required. Mr. Justice Blackburn understood that, practi cally, the lists were printed by the overseers, and there could be no difficulty in seeing them. As far as the jury book was concerned, it might at any time be inspected. It was at present at Preston, but the trial would be postponed till to-morrow, and in the meantime every facility would be afforded the learned counsel for the inspection of the jury book. A copy of the panel was then handed to Mr. Sey mour, and the trial was postponed till to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. The prisoners were conveyed back to the New Bailey under the same escort as accompanied the police van in the morning, followed by an immense multitude of people. TIIE REFORM LEAGUE AND FENIANISM. A meeting of the Exeter branch of the Reform League has just been held, at which the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That this meeting, while pledging itself to do everything lawful and legiti mate for the redress of the grievances of Ireland, cannot but express its horror and utter abhorrence of the course pursued by those misguided men calling themselves Fenians. This meeting also very much regrets the opinions expressed by certain members of the council of the Reform League, as reported in the London papers."

AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF. —Maria Russell, alias Connor, alias lliscock, and with many other aliases, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with steal ing a quart pot and two pint pots from the llalf Moon and Punch Bowl publichouse in Buckle street, Whitechapel. The prisoner, an elderly Irishwoman, is a vendor of a delicacy in great repute in the classic regions of Whitechapel, namely, trotters, but she had not been content with the profits of that lucrative busi ness, but has added one of an illegal nature, pot stealing, to it. She has been summarily convicted of concealing pewter pots beneath her legitimate stock on six or seven occasions, and on the 2d of the present month Mr. Benson convicted her, and sentenced her to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and warned her that the next time she was charged with a similar offence she would be committed for trial. Unmindful of the warning of the learned magistrate she recom menced her depredations last night. She was passing the station-house in Leman-street, Whitechapel, with her basket containing trot ters on her arm. A police-constable named Robert Ryves, No. 61 11, who was stand ing at the door of the station " thought the trotter basket looked suspicious," and inspected it. There was a dozen of trotters at one end of the basket, and at the other, covered with paper, two pots, a quart, and a pint. The woman assumed the ut most horror and astonishment at the discovery, and said " The Ould Devil" slid into her basket and put them there. Mr. William Goodge, of the Hall Moon and Punch Bowl, identified the pots, which he valued at 45., and said the prisoner was in his house at half-past 12 last night. Mr. Selfe—At half-past 12 this morning, you i mean. - - Mr. Goodge,—Yes, sir. I have missed many pots lately, and have missed them after her visits. The Prisoner—lt was the dhrop taken, yer hunner's wortchip. llyves—She was quite sober, your worship. Police-sergeant Fry, A,R, said the prisoner was an incorrigible thief, The Prisoner—Don't believe Mr. Selfe--I do believe him. Prizouer—Sittle it here, yer hunner's wortchip, and be merciful to tuc a poor ould woman. Mr. Selfe—No ; you are a notorious thief, only recently come out of prison. You are committed for trial.

FENIAN COMMISSION AT MANCHESTER. (:11IS DAY.) The prisoners were brought to the Court to-day under the usual military escort. The Judges took their seats at nine o'clock, !Loa the prisoners (could, Allen, Larkin, M;seguire, and Shore were placed in the duck, their handcuffs having been previoutly removed. Mr. Dighy Seymour wade an application, based upon an all tavit, praying their lordships t) order a certiorari to issue for the removal of the trial of the indictment to the Central Criminal Court in London. Mr. Justice Blackburn said.he could not accede to such an application, and the empannelling of OA jury must proceed. I he Clerk of the Arraigns then proceeded to call the names of the special jury. As he did so Mr. Roberts, the attorney for some of the prisoners, took objection to several juror& The Judge cautioned him that he had not t' Ll . n right to interfere by raising such objections, a. 4 it was the province of counsel to do so. Mr. lioberts, however, persisted in taking objec tion, whereupon Mr. Justice Blackburn said if he persisted in his interruption he should order him to leave the court. The Clerk of the Arraigns then proceeded to call the names of the jiirors when Mr. Roberts again interrupted. His Lordship—Oflicer, take that man into custody. This order created the utmost excitement in court. Mr. Digby Seymour rose, and appealed to his lordship on behalf of Roberts, who had reseated himself with an expression of the utmost defiance. A few minutes afterwards an officer of the court pressed his way through the crowd on the door towards Mr. Roberts, touched him on the shoulder, and requested him to move. Mr. Roberts thereupon observed, "In that case I must trust to the court." Mr. Digby Seymour again appealed to his lord ship. Ultimately his Lordship gave permission for Mr. Roberts to remain, on the condition that he did not again interrupt in an unauthorised manner. The jury were then empannelled, after which Mr. Karslake said—The charge against the pri soners was most serious, and the circumstances at tending it were of a most unusual character, but the facts were simple, clear, and such as might be understood. Ile then narrated the circumstances attending the death of Brett, and afterwards said that the jury would find beyond all doubt that, although it was Allen who fired the shot at Brett, all the other prisoners were present and used their revolvers to keep back the crowd, and the important point, therefore, which they would have to consider would be, what share each of the pri soners had in the - transaction, which he was sure they would do with all fairness and impartiality. Police-constable Garwood was then called and examined by Mr. Pickering, Q.C. At one o'clock the grand jury entered the court with four true bills against all the remaining pri.. soners for murder.
