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

The amounts al lotted were to Calcutta £96,000, and to Madras £4,000. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at Is. 111 d. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders at Is. 111 d. will receive about 13 per cent. ; those above will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills on Bombay were invited. The above rates show an increase in the demand for remittance. The market in London for American Securities has been dull, with a tendency for Government Bonds to decline in value, from sales pressed on account of continental Bourses, which to-day has been very marked, the 5.20 Bonds, 1862, having trenched on 71k. The absence of any quotations by Atlantic Telegraph has deterred buyers operating, owing to uncertainty of the price of gold in New York. Erie Shares have been improving up to to-day, having :Advanced from 40 to 421. Illinois Shares remain steady. There exists a good demand for Railroad Bonds payable in Sterling. Virginia Sterling have also been inquired for at full rates. Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and Debentures have been more freely taken than for some time past. The report of the committee of investigation is expected to be issued this week. These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, show some very satisfactory results. On the Great Western there is an increase of £877 ; on the North- Western, of £5,206 ; on the South-Western, of £2 2 329 ; on the Brighton, of £2,622 ; on the Midland, of £3,159 ; on the South-Eastern, of £ 3 , 6 08 ; on the Groat Northern, of £2,344 ; on the Lancashi re an d Yorkshire, of £1,270 ; on the Bristol and Exeter, of £1,070 ; on the North-Eas tern, of £4,125 ; on t h e Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £1,879 ; on the Great Eastern, of £1,715 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £2,920 ; and on the North London of £414 ; while the North British shows a decrease of £367. Two o'CLoca. A firmer tone has prevailed to-day in the English Stock Market, and Consols show a recovery of per cent., being 911 I for money on the Bth inst., and 948 / for the November settlement.

London and Westminster are at 684, Union of London at 37:1, London Chartered of Australia at 24, and City Bank at 124. In the Miscellaneous Market there has been little change. City Offices, however, have declined to 7i, Hudson's Bay Company to 148 15 ; Commercial Union Assurance a re mar k e d 4i, and Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgage Loan 71/ 72/.

THE E➢IPRESS CHARLOTTE'S kindly reception by the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie. A correspondent of the Times writes—You published an extract from M. de Keratry's work on the fall of Maximi lian with respect to the arrival in Paris of the Archduchess Charlotte and her interview with the Emperor Napoleon. The Memorial Diplomatique, well known for its Austrian partialities and connexions, denies the correctness of some of M. de Beratry's statement 3, and gives a completely dif ferent version. It says that on the day after the Arch duchess's arrival at the Grand Hotel (which residence she had preferred to a proffered lodging in the Tuileries) the Empress Eugenie called upon her, and that the interview, which had a character of most affectionate c'prdiality, lasted no less than an hour and a half. " From the moment of the Empress Charlotte's arrival two carriages and four, with outriders, had been put at the disposal of the august traveller, who, on the 11th of August, went to St. Cloud to return the visit she bad received the day before from the Empress of the French. The Emperor (who had then just returned from Vichy, where he had been obliged to abridge his stay on account of bad health)found himself considerably better, but tie doctors forbade his leaving his room and even receiving his Ministers, so the Empress of Mexico could not see him that day, but only two days later, when, on an intimation from the Empress Eugenie, she returned to St. Cloud, and had an interview of several hours with the Emperor. While admitting to those around her that the object of her journey to Europe would not be attained, the Empress Charlotte attributed the cause solely to the more and more strenuous opposition of the Legislative Corps to the prolongation of the French expe dition. Finally, on the eve of her departure, the Emperor and Empress went together to the Grand Hotel to take leave of her Majesty, with whom they remained in conver sation for about an hour. At the moment of separation the two Empresses repeatedly affectionately embraced each other, and the Emperor kissed the hand of the Empress of Mexico. A special train, with the carriage reserved for the private use of their Majesties, was placed at her dis posal to take her to the Italian frontier." BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain Woolcott, with the above mails, arrived at Southampton yesterday. She brings 50 passengers; specie, gold, £13,202; and silver, £2,795; Spanish Bonds, £1,000; thirteen packages diamonds, value not stated ; also 2,050 bags coffee, 150 barrels arrowroot, 150 barrels tapioca, 210 rolls tobacco, 12 casks wine, and 189 packages sun dries. Advices anticipated by telegraph via Lisbon. ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT PORTSMOUTH.—AS a gang of prisoners who had been working in the timber field on the extension ground of the Ports mouth Dockyard were being mustered on Monday even ing, to be conveyed to the prison for the night, one of them, a young man, 18 years of age, named Edward Smart, was missing. Although a strict search has been made he has not yet been recaptured; but it is thought that he is con cealed in the neighbourhood, where he is known to have some friends. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE MAYOR OF DONCASTER. —A fatal accident occurred to the Mayor of Doncaster (Mr. Henry Woodmansey) early on the morning of yester day. A bazaar had been given during the preceding week in aid of • the new infirmary in that town, and the very handsome sum of £1,250 had been realised. As a termi nation of tho proceedings an evening party was given at the Mansion-house on Monday evening to the ladies and their friends who had assisted at the stalls during the pre vious week. All had passed off well until between 1 and 2 o'clock, and the party was about to be brought to a close when the Mayor, on passing down the grand staircase to his own parlour, slipped, and fell heavily to the bottom of the flight of stone steps. Mr. Crawshaw had hold of the Mayor's arm at the time and was dragged along with him but sustained comparatively little injury. Not so, how ever, the Mayor, who was taken up insensible, having sustained a severe scalp wound on the side of the head and injured some blood-vessel, as he bled very profusely. He was immediately removed to his own room in the Mansion house, and had the best medical advice the town could afford, but never rallied. He died at 5 o'clock. The sad event has cast a deep gloom over the inhabitants, among whom the Mayor was universally respected. The Sheffield Sawgrinders' Society —a different body altogether from the Sawgrinders' Society to which Broadhead, Crookes, and Hallam belong—have determined to relieve themselves, so far as possible, from the taint of the past. To that end they have dismissed all their old officers, appointed others in their stead, removed their place of meeting from a public-house to a class-room of the Mechanics' institute, and appointed a committoo to weed the society of "suspicious" characters, and draw up a set of rules to be submitted to Mr. Mkt Pratt for registration. t'ltElrEltll:l4(lN 811A1tt Bristol and Exeter 4 per cent stock, 82} Great Western, 4 per cent irred. 7i North Eastern, York. 11. and Selby purchase, Stockton and Darlington B, 6 per cent., 128 8 Ditto, C,fi per cent., 128 6 LINES LEASED A.T FIXED RENTALS.

CATTLE PLAGUE INQUIRY.—The return of the reported cases of cattle plague in Great Britain, published by authority of the Lords of the Privy Council, states that during the week ending Saturday, Sept. 28, no case of cattle plague had been reported froth any part of England Wales, or Scotland. AN INDISPENSABLE OFFICER.—It is not true that Mr. Calcraft, the well-known Finisher of the Law, will be attached to the expedition which is in course of being fitted out against the King of Abyssinia. It is expected that no difficulty will be experienced in finding a hand fully con petent to deal, if necessary, with that monarch in the event of his capture ; and iu the meanwhile the proceedings of the Fenians render it manifestly impossible that hor Majesty's Government can afford to dispense with the Seryicev of Ur.

A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated Paris, Sept. 28, says : "In no department of the Exhibition is there more activity of mind displayed than in that which is allotted to photographs. No recent discovery ex cites more curiosity and interest, nor calls into play more ingenuity and science and taste, than this of printing by the aid of light. The art, in all its various processes, has become of immense import ance, admits of innumerable applications, and gives employment to a host of people, many of them highly endowed. Far more than the discovery of the telescope, of the microscope, or of a perfect balance, it has made a new era in science ; and in the fine arts, also, it has exercised a prodigious in fluence. It is stated on authority that Sir Henry James has already saved the British Exchequer at least £40,000 by the use of photo-zincography in the production of the maps of the Ordnance survey ; and the copies of Doomsday Book now at Paris, printed by photo-zineography, speak for the value and beauty of the process. Photography is useful in so many ways—in astronomy, in ethnology, in anatomy, in botany, in architecture, in land survey ing, in engraving on wood and steel and copper, not to speak of ordinary portraiture, that no modern art can be said more truly to live than this ; and few of us who visit the French Exhibition can form an ade quate idea of the vast amount of scientific research and mechanical industry which are represented by the hundreds of photographic pictures and appa ratus that meet our view. An index of patents relating to photography alone tells us that down to the end of the year 1859 upwards of 190 separate patents had been granted in England ; and since that period the number has been enormously in creased. This, however, gives a very insufficient idea of the energy with which the wonderful art is pursued ; for, in point of fact, the most important discoveries in photography have not been protected by the patent laws. Thus, the collodion process—a process by which nine-tenths of all the photographs in all countries are now produced—was made known freely to the public by its originator. So likewise the essential principles of all the various carbon pro cesses of printing were announced by their dis coverers without any attempt to secure their rights by patent. So long ago as December, 1827, M. Nie pee, then living at Kew, submitted to the Royal Society some pictures taken on silvered copper plates smeared with the bitumen of Judea, a substance which is soluble in certain essential oils, but not so after exposure to light. Specimens of his skill are in existenoe as perfect in appearance as on the day on which they were produced. There is the begin ning of the carbon process. On the 29th of May, 1839, Mr. Mungo Ponton made a communication to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, to the effect that bicromate of potash applied to paper in solu- tion accepted a photographic image which could not be removed by water, the portions protected from the light being readily washed away. There is a step in advance. In January of the last mentioned year M. Daguerre in France, and Mr. Fox Talbot in England, had each made public their independent discoveries of the daguerreotype and the talbotype." presented a very woe-begone aspect. The Hiogo was fitted with an expensive pair of first-class engines of 100 horse-power, by Kerr, of Kirkcaldy ; and the loss of the vessel and cargo is estimated to involve the destruction of property of the value of little less than £lOO,OOO. A VISIT TO THE AGAPEMONE. (From Macmillan's Magazine.) We drove from Bridgewater through five miles of deeply-sunken lanes to Charlinch, and when we got to the brow of the last hill we had a bird's-eye view of the Agapemone. It was sus:rounded on every side by walls from twelve to fifteen feet high, which enclosed about five acres. Within stood a building somewhat resembling a college chapel, and two clusters of cottages. Over the gateway was a tower with a flag-staff, which bears Brother Prince's em blem when lie is at home. As he was absent there was no flag hoisted. It occupies one of the loveliest spots in the south of England, where Coleridge de lighted to wander when he was living in the village of Stower, close by. On the one hand you looked down a narrow valley, over the trees and the wheat fields, fai away into the British Channel, and over that you could see the hazy outline of 1V ales. On the other hand rose the Quantock Hills, black fir woods here, purple with heather there, or golden ' with gorse, and furrowed by deep-wooded coombes; while far away to the east was the field of Sedge ' moor, the high tower of Western Zoyland, and over that again Glastonbury Mount, twenty miles away, and St. Michael's Tower, on which the last abbot was hung. This was the situation they had chosen for their Abode of Love. We drove up to the oaken doors, which are folding, with a little one for foot-passengers, just like those at Oxford. We presented our letter of introduction ; in a few minutes a guide was sent out, and we were admitted within the walls. We found ourselves in a. most beautiful flower-garden, with two groups of cottages and the chapel lying in it. The greensward was most exquisitely kept, and the flowers were rare and costly. The roses were trained over the cottages, and covered not only the wall, but the very roof, up to the tops of the chimneys, with their blossoms. Everything was most carefully tended ; there was not a single spray of verbena without its peg, not a single dead or unhealthy leaf to be seen, nor a single weed on the gravel walks. We were next taken into the hot-houses, where the flowers, and especially the orchids, were remark ably fine, and of the newest and best varieties. Of these our guide allowed the ladies to take whatthey liked. We then went into the large conservatory, which was full of exotic shrubs and flowers, arranged according to their tints, so that there was a perfect harmony of colours. Cages of singing birds hung from orange trees; underneath them were couches, and an open piano showed that music was sometimes added to the other charms of sense. We were then conducted into their chapel. It was a building about 70 feet long, by 30 wide, lying east and west, just as our churches do. The western half was raised about a foot above the level of the other, and evidently, from its rich decoration, cor responded with our chancel. It was, however, altogether devoid of religious furniture, according to our ideas. It was covered with a rich blue Turkey carpet, on which were blue velvet arm-chairs, couches, and settees, such as one might expect to find in a drawing-room ; while mirrors in three niches occupied the whole of the west end, and reflected the beauties of the marble statue and two vases that stood before them. In front, and occu pying very much the position of the altar, was a large billiard table, made out of the wreck of the Royal George. In the lower and eastern half, fur nished less sumptuously, and therefore intended probably for au inferior order, were the musical in struments—an elaborately carved harp, a grand piano with the most costly inlaid work, and an euterpeau. The latter is an instrument made on the same plan as a musical box, but it stands from eight to nine feet high, is about five feet wide, and has the effect of a full orchestra. It was one of three in the Great Exhibition of 1851. On our guide asking us what music we should like to hear, we chose " Guillaume 'fell." lie inserted a cylinder, touched a spring, and the overture was played to perfection. The place where the flageolet begins, and the other instruments gradually join in, was most admirably rendered. We then chose a march in " Gustav," the cylind x was changed, and that also was played. It was impossible to guess at the capacity of the instrument, but the number of cylinders must be very great, because we chose the two pieces haphazard, and rather from a wish to test it than from any other motive. The impression left upon our minds by the interior of the chapel was that music entered very largely into their cere monial ; and this is confirmed by the fact of one of the Prineite farmers, who did not live in the Agapemone, riding thither every Sunday with a large brass instrument slung round his back. Pos sibly also billiards may have some religious signifi cance among them. The only books we observed were a Bible, Dr. Kitto's " Biblical Dictionary," and Wordsworth's " Pictorial Greece." The win dows were filled with stained glass. The building clearly was intended for a highly sensuous worship. The female inmates are guarded with the utmost jealousy, and allowed to have no communication whatever with the outer world. "Whenever they went out they were attended by an escort of male disciples, and were under as careful a surveillance as the inmates of a gaol or lunatic asylum. Quarrels also took place about the women, and about money. One of the apostate brethren brought an action against Brother Prince for the recovery of his pro perty, which was decided in his favour. One also of Prince's sisters-in-law died in the Agapemone, and her family compelled Brother Prince to disgorge her money. By these losses the Princites were shorn of a great part of their splendour, and from that time down to the present have been gradually becoming poorer and fewer in numbers. The Gentile world also has been strictly excluded from their precincts. MARKETS.---ilas day. 3IETROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was about an average supply of beasts on sale here to-day. For all breeds the demand ruled inactive ; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change took place in the quotations. The highest figure was 5s per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was only moderate, changed hands slowly, at Monday's decline in value. The bast Downs and half-breds sold at 4s 10d per Blbs. The few calves on offer were mostly disposed of at high rates, viz , from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs. The sale for pigs ruled steady, at full prices. Mitch cows, however, commanded very little attention. THE LOSS OF THE HIOGO. A detailed report of the loss of the Hiogo, on the Eddystone, is published in the Western Morning News of yesterday. The vessel was a new iron screw steamship, built and owned by Mr. Lang of Sunderland. She was handsomly modelled, built in compartments, and fitted up. with all the modern improvements and luxuries of a first—class passenger steamship. Built to meet the requirements of the increased trade opening up with Japan, she was en route to the port in that empire, after which she was named, Hiogo, one of the new ports that will, under the recent treaty, be opened to English traders in January.next. On her arrival out she would have been for sale or to trade, according as business cir cumstances might determine. She had on board a very valuable cargo, and had also been freighted for the Diamond Steam Navigation Company to carry passengers and goods to Madeira, Table Bay, Algoa Bay, and Natal. At London, on completing her loading, she embarked six passengers, the Rev. Mr. Parkes, Mrs. Parkes, and two sons, for Madeira, and "Me . ssrs. Marks and Murison for Kagosima. She left the East India Docks at 1.30 p.m. on Saturday for Fahnouth to embark four more passen gess, and ship some small consignments and a mate there. On her way down she made a short stay at Gravesend, discharging her river pilot there, and subsequently her Downs pilot at Deal. On Sunday and Monday she experienced very rough weather, the wind being from an adverse quarter, but on Mon day night and Tuesday morning the weather was clear, and light winds prevailed. The middle watch between twelve and four was kept•lay the star board watch. The captain remained on deck dur ing the early part of the watch, but ultimately, the Start light having been passed, he went below to obtain some sleep, leaving the deck in charge of the second officer, a young man about twenty six years of age, with directions to run for the Eddystone light, in order to get into a favour.. able current for proceeding to Falmouth, but to pass the reef at the distance of at least a mile, and to call him while the vessel was pass ing. As the steamer neared the Stone the second mate went below to consult the captain as to the course, when the captain, Waking o ut of his nap, gave certain directions. The second mate returned on deck, and at a few minutes after half-past two on Tuesday morning the steamer ran at a speed of about ten miles an hour full on to the Sugar Loaf rock at the north-east end of the Eddystone reef, running several fathoms up the rock. The rock is about 150 yards from the lighthouse, the full glare of the light from which was shining down on the vessel's deck when the accident occurred. The dangerous proximity of the vessel to the rock does not appear to have been perceived until the vessel was almost touching it, when the second officer, who was on the bridge, shouted " Port ! port ! hard a-port!" But it was too late, for in an instant, with a thump which shivered every glass and dish on board, and turned every man out of his berth, the ship ran full tilt upon the reef. The second officer at once ordered the engines to be reversed, which order was promptly carried out., but without any success, perhaps fortunately, as had she at that moment slid off into deep water the loss of nearly all on board would have bee n inevitable. From the engine-room the men on duty rushed on deck, except one of the firemen, who bravely remained to let off the steam to preyent any danger of an explosion. rho passengers and the watch of the crew below, rudely awoke by the shock and the change in the vessel's position, in stantly came on deck. Captain Bainton imme diately took prompt steps to provide for the safety of those under his charge. Rockets were thrown up and blue lights burnt, and pistols fired, but signal guns could not be fired through the ammunition being destroyed or mislaid. As the tide rose the stern part of the vessel was lifted, and she began to settle down forward, her fore com partment filling rapidly. The five boats of the vessel were speedily got out, and the passengers placed in one of them. At five o'clock two pilot cutters bore down to the vessel to render assistance, and in one of them (No. 7) the passengers were placed. About the same time the vessel heeled over on her starboard side, and sank in deep water, leaving her port aft gunwale just show ing at high water. The pilot boat then took the boats in tow, and brought them into Ply mouth Sound. On arriving in the Sound the captain proceeded ashore in his gig, followed shortly after by the crew and passengers in the other boats. On the wreck being announced active measures were taken by the vessel's agents, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co., to recover the cargo. When the captain came on shore the chief and second officers, carpenter, and three seamen were left in charge of the wreck. The cargo consists principally of bale goods, dungarees, calicoes, and cottons, with cases of rifles and swords. She had also on board two cases of treasure, said to be of the value of £20,000. These, together with the ship's chronometers and plate, were saved, and brought on shore by the captain, the plate in charge of the chief steward.

MANSION-HOUSE. A CITY FIRM OF SMASHERS.—Two dirty-looking men and one slatternly woman, named respectively Jones, Smith, and Partridge, were charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, at the Mansion-house, with having uttered a coun terfeit coin. Sergeant Hancock, the detective officer on duty in King William-street, stated that at about three o'clock yester day he was at the corner of King William-street and Cannon-street, when be saw Jones and Smith passing, be also observed the female prisoner following—not liking her appearance ho followed them towards St. Paul's Churchyard. When they had got some distance down Cannon-street, the prisoner Jones made a signal with his hand to the female prisoner, and she came to him• Jones spoke tothe woman, and the other prisoner Smith was close to his elbow. The woman put her hand in her driiss pocket, pulled something out, and witness saw a piece of paper in her left hand, and she gave some thing to Jones. ,The woman then parted from them, and they went towards the Sugar Loaf, in Cannen street. Witness followed them and met Chester,, another detective officer, and they went to Mr. Palmer the manager of the house, and advised him to look after the. money which was given to him by the prisoners. SMith came in and tendered the shilling, which was found to be bad. He then left the house, and pretended to adjust his boot, looking back at the publichouse to seo if he were followed. After following them for some little time, witness took Jones and Chester took Smith. The woman was afterwards arrested. The prisoners denied all know ledge of one another, but Smith afterwards admitted that he received the shilling from Jones. The female prisoner, on being searched, was found to have sixteen counterfeit coins about her—six in ot.e paper, four iu another, and six loose. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday. BOW-STREET. FORGING A POST-OFFICE ORDER. —Henry Gillott and Richard Oldacre were placed at the bar charged with stealing a Post-office order and forging the name of Mr. Scully, their master. William Miller, 148 G, said yesterday, about 11 o'clock is the morning, ho was in the money order-office, Bunhill row, and saw the prisoner Oldacre come in and present an order for payment, saying that he came from Mr Scully, of Gee-street, Brick-lane. He took hold of Oldacre and asked what he bad presented for payment, and the assistant handed him a post-office order for £5. He told the prisoner that he was a police officer, and that he should taken him into custody for stealing the order from Scully. He said he got the order from a short, young man, who was in a publichouse in the neighbourhood. Witness went there, but could not find the person the prisoner had descrited, and he then conveyed Oldacre to the station-house. James King, the assistant at the post-office in Bunhill row, said the prisoner presented the order in the usual course, and answered the questions he put to him correctly. He afterwards was told by the constable that the order had been stolen. Mr. R. Scully said he carried on business in Gee-street, Brick-lane. The order produced bore his signature, but it was a forgery. He never authorised Oldacre to sign his name or receive money; in fact, he did not know him. The order produced had been stolen, together with the letter in which it was enclosed. It came from a customer of his, but it had been intercepted in its delivery. Miller then said he apprehended Gillott yesterday on a charge of stealing the letter containing the Post-office order. He at once admitted it, and said he had taken two letters beside, and that he had given them to a companion to get changed. The solicitor to the Post-office said he was unable to proceed further with the case at that time, and the pri soners were remanded for a week. PICKING UP A FRIEND.-00rItaiillS Rush was charged with being at the Charing-cross Railway Station for an illegal purpose. Monckton, the police-constable on duty at the station, said yesterday he saw the prisoner in company with another person leading in a gentleman who was very drunk. They went into the refreshment department, and having partakenof some wine, they left thebar and went on to the platform. He, observing the gentleman wore a yery valuable Albert guard, and ether articles of jewellery, and that he was quite incapable of taking care of himself, he went up to him, telling prisoner he was a police constable, and, on telling theprisoner to leave the station ho violently assaulted him. He afterwards took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner said the gentleman was a friend of his. He sold him walnuts daily in Cannou-street, and that meeting him a little bit intoxicated, he had made up his mind to see him to the railway station. There he was taking sherry with the gentleman, when Monckton came up and ordered him off. He did not feel disposed to go at his bidding, and therefore objected, and the result was he was taken to the station-house. A warder from the House of Correction said the prisoner had been eight or nine titat33 in prison, and that he was a well-known thief. . _ Mr. Vaughan said he had no doubt but that for the vigilance of the police-constable the gentleman would have been robbed of everything ho possessed. Hs, therefore, committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BLIND MAN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT. —Samuel Sullivan, a blind man, was charged before Mr. .Knox with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable Monday, 78 0, said—About twelve o'clock last night I heard a disturbance in Princes-row, Newport Market, and on going up found the prisoner, who was drunk, assaulting his wife and making a disturbance, and I took him into custody. Mr. Knox—Did his wife prefer any charge against him ? Constable—She did not. The prisoner is a most dan gerous man, and has been charged with assaulting his wife, and also a gentleman. He is in the habit of begging in front of the National Gallery, and mostly goes home drunk. _ The prisoner—l have been on the streets for six years, and 1 defy any one to say I was drunk. The constable called me a " Fenian," and that might have excited me. I had only had two half quarterns of rum all day. My wife aggravated me, and I might have struck her. Police-constable Adams, 135 U—l saw the prisoner strike his wife, and then pull her hair. lle then delibe rately knocked his wife down, and she was insensible for some minutes. The prisoner was drunk and his language very bad. Prisoner—l was not drunk. Being called a Fenian, and being blind, I became excited. Mr. Knox—Did any such a word as Fenian escape your lips, constable ? Adams—The word was not made use of by the police, but by some of the bystanders, a largo number of persons being collected in consequence of the prisoner's conduct. The prisoner's wife—l am hero. I have no charge against him. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—You knock your wife down, and she now comes here and would get you off if she could. As she does not charge you I cannot punish you fur the assault upon her, but for the disorderly conduct I can, and you will have to pay 40s. or a month. The prisoner's wife appeared to have been much illused, and bad a pair of black eyes. THAMES. A FRIENDLY TREAT —DEAD DRUNK.—George Holt, a Custom-house officer, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. William Girling, a police-constable, No. 80 13, stated that he found the prisoner in Church-lane, Whitechapel, yesterday evening, at a quarter before five o'clock, drunk and incapable; in fact, dead drunk, and he would have been robbed and ill-used in such a locality if he had not removed him to the station-house. The Defendant—The fact is that I met a few friends from the country and got drinking rum with them. I got too much, and it overcame me. Mr. Benson—What are you ? Prisoner—l am a Custom -house officer. It was only a friendly treat. Mr. Benson -A person in your situation ought to be more careful. This is very disgraceful indeed. You are an officer holding a good position under the Crown, and should have shown a better example. You may go. • DESERTION OF SEA ,APPRENTICES. — Daniel James, a youth, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with un lawfully deserting from the fishing smack Owner's Pride before his term of apprenticeship expired. Mr. Thomas Halfyard said he was the owner of the smack Owner's Pride, which arrived in the river off Bil lingsgate on Tuesday last week. On the following Friday the prisoner and another apprentice deserted the vessel He found the prisoner last night in the Hoop and Grapes publichouso, in liatcliff Highway. He said to him "What aro you up to, s'r," to which lie replied that ho could not agree with the captain. He asked the prisoner if the cap tain ill-used him, and he said "No." He ascertained the prisoner had shipped on board a billy boy as a seaman, and was to have sailed in her that morning. All the prisoner's clothes were on board the billy boy except a pair of boots, which cost 305., and which the lad had pawned. He expected to find his other apprentice to day. Mr. Benson—Has the vessel gone away ? Mr. Hallyarl—Yes, sir—she is at sea. I was obliged to ship two other hands for the apprentices who ran away. I have other vessels, and one is now here. This lad has 12s. per week. Ile is apprenticed for two years; and he went two trial voyages before he was indentured to me. The prisoner, in defence, said the captain of the Owner's Pride spoke harshly to him. Mr. Benson said it was perfect nonsense for a great lad like the prisoner, just on the verge of manhood, to take offence at a few rough words. The apprentice ought to have madelin effort to please his captain, and have done his duty properly. He did not think the charge of deser tion was made out. It was an absence without leave, for which the prisoner was liable to forfeit six days' pay for every 24 hours absence from duty. As Mr. Halfyard had very kindly offered to take back the apprentice, he would allow him to be transferred to -another vessel, on his _ ..,_ solemn promie to behave w,ll and faithfully do his duty in future. The Prisoner—l am very sorry. 1 will do my duty in 'ave. Mr. Benson—You are fined six days' pay, which the owner will stop from your rouges, and you must return to your duty. MARYLEBONE. THE DIAMOND AND RUBY CROSS ROBBERY.—AIfred Norman was brought up on remand, on the charge of stealing a diamond and ruby cross, of the value of .£4O, belonging to Flora ➢fay, of 7, Wilton-place, St. John's wood. Mr. Lewis, of Marlb3rougli-street, prosocuted, and Mr. Kerr defended. The prisquer was brought in by Dawson, 122 A It. He was dressed in the uniform of the 34 Dragoon Guards. It may be remembered that the prisoner was originally charged with stealing the cross, and never surrendered ou his bail. Ho was taken at Canterbury, where he had enlisted.'
