MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCZ, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the weekly Court of the directors of the Bank of England this morning no alteration was an nounced in the minimum rate of discount, which still re ltains at 2 per cent. In the general discount market the preparations for the commercial pay ments due on the 4th proximo has caused rather more demand, but the amount of available capital being abundant there is no change to report in the rates current. At the bullion office of the Bank yeJerday there Were no transactions of importance. A pro -forma meeting of the Grand Trunk Rail *way Company of Canada was held to-day, when the report of the directors was submitted. The available net balance amounts to £114,082 for the half -year, but from this amount there has to be deducted loss on American currency and the sum due to holders of postal and military bonds, leaving the balance of £74 , 702 . A s aga i ns t thi s sum th ere I " been raid out, or is payable for interest, leases, "e., 192,379, which finally leaves a debit balance against the half-year's net revenue of £17,677. The total loss sustained by the company from 1862 to 80th June last in American currency amounts to no less a sum than £311,938, and the directors cannot refrain from again referring to this most Serious but inevitable and unforeseen loss as the real origin of most of the recent difficulties of the Comp any. At the meeting held to-day of the West Flanders Railways, the directors presented their report, and the report of the Directcur Gerant, together with the accounts for the past half year. The latter allows that, after providing for the fixed charges, there remains a balance of £7,514 Os. 3d., out of which the directors (propose to pay a dividend of five shillings per share (being an increase of three ten o Per sh are as compare d w i t h th e prev i ous al f Year and sixpence on the half year Prece ding that), payable as usual on. and !liter 15th Nov. next, and to carry forward a ba lance of £824 15s. 3d. According to the report of 1 3 Iessrs. H u t t and Browne there were extant, i n 864 , 143 sh ares i n excess of t h e statuta bl e num ber;, 45 of these ha ve b een p u rchased during the last h alf year, as shown by the accounts, ma ki ng 123 With tho se previously cancelled. In accordance with L ?e intention expressed at the general meeting in 1 866, the directors have since that time con ?acted the business of the company with four direc tors only ; but in consequence of the inconvenience areeu l ting from thi s (th ree b e i ng necessary t o f orm board) they have deemed it desirable to revert to to their previous number, five, and have conse quently, i n accordance with Article 22 of the Sta tutes,l, nominated M r . Th omas R o b er t T u f n ell as a director of the company, which requires the confir mation of th e present meet i ng. A reso l ut i on w ill the submitted t o t h e propr i etors, g i v i ng aut h or i ty to tne directors, whenever the dividend for the half- Year shall reach ss. per share, to invest in a con zingeney fund a sum not exceeding £5OO ; this vestment to remain the property of the original shareholders, an d to cease as soon as the reserve fund prescribed by the statutes shall come into operation. It has been announced that petitions for winding 11 1) the Royal Bank of Liverpool will be held by vloe- Chancellor Malins on the Bth of November.

THURSDAY EVgNING, ocroBER 31, 1867. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) TILL ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE LEEDS BANK. An application was made to the learned judge this morning on his taking his seat on the bench, for a further postponement of the trial of Thomas Edgley, who stood indicted for -feloniously forging and uttering a bill of exchange for the payment of the sum of £1,037 10:3. with intent to defraud ; and also for unlawfully conspiring with one Van Cleef, Alfred Tcele, and divers other persons, by false pretences, to cheat and defraud the Leeds Banking Company. The grounds of the application were that Greenland, who was a material witness, was at present in such a delicate state of health at Geneva, that undertaking such a long journey, and undergoing afterwards a long examination, would perhaps result in causing his death. Dr. Villars, another witness, was also suffering from illness at Folkestone, and other persons, whose evidence was most important, were unable to be in attendance. Mr. Giffard strongly opposed the application. The trial had now been postponed for a very long period, and he believed the result of a farther delay would be to lead to an indefinite postponement, because a witness was in attendance fromServia, and had been so for a long period. If the prosecution did not proceed that person would return home, and then great expense would have to be incurred, and that it was very uncertain whether the case would ever come to trial at all. After some further discussion, the trial was post poned until the next sessions. ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MURDER. James Green was indicted with intending to kill and murder his wife, by discharging a loaded pistol at het. It will be recollected that the prisoner was an engineer's labourer, and resided in the neighbour hood of Bermondsey. He had become jealous of his wife, and having quarrelled with her he left his home and purchased a small pocket pistol, and afterwards some gunpowder. After buying the latter he asked the shopkeeper whether he could supply him with some slugs wherewith to load the weapon. He could not procure them, and he afterwards purchased some No. 4 shot. On meeting his wife, from whom he had been separated, in the street some time after, he was observed to follow her, to level the pistol at her, and afterwards pull the trigger, but the weapon did not explode. On being taken into custody he made certain observations, regretting the misfiring of the pistol, and at the same time he expressed a wish that he had used a knife instead of firearms, and then he could have settled with his wife. On the charge being drawn from the pistol a small piece of paper was discovered underneath the nipple, which of course would prevent the pistol going off, but the learned judge put it to the jury that if the pri soner pulled the trigger with intent, &c., then he was as guilty as if he had actually fired the pistol. It was discovered during the trial that the piece of paper found underneath the nipple corre sponded with that used in place of wadding, and the prisoner's counsel raised a strong point in his speech for the defence, to the effect that the prisoner, it was clear, when he loaded the pistol, never intended it to go off ; but the observation was met by one from the learned judge, who, in alluding to the circumstance in his sum ing up, remarked that, if it was to be believed that the prisoner did not intend to injure his wife, but only to frighten her, it seemed most remarkable that he should have been very anxious to purchase slugs to place in the pistol. It was urged that in consequence of the miscon duct of his wife the prisoner's mind might have become unhinged, but then his lordship said, it must be clearly shown that at the time the pri soner loaded the pistol he was in such a state of mind as to be incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. But it would also have to be considered that about that time the prisoner was seemingly collected enough when be was ende.avnnr;nEs +0 Fur chase the bullets for the pistol. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty on the first count of the indict ment, with a very strong recommendation to mercy on account of the great provocation he had re ceived. His Lordship said he would take care that the recommendation of the jury should be forwarded to the proper quarter, but he could not of course say what the result would be. He had but one duty to perform, and, as the jury had found the prisoner guilty, the sentence of the Court was that the pri soner be kept in penal servitude for twenty years. days, and he is a jibbcr. I had last night be , tn. drinking a little, and the horse would not go, and put a little gravel or dust in its mouth to make it better tempered. There is nobody kinder to hol uses than myself, but I certainly did lose my ten per and beat it, but lam sorry I did so. I have t ried to work it in a cab, but it's no use. Mr. Knox—l certainly do not pretend to mt Ed) experience of horses, but I never beard of the pr;Lc tice of putting dirt into their mouths to make them go. Young—l have never heard of its being done but only by cruel persons and horse " corers." Mr. Knox—The prisoner has been guilty of abo minable cruelty. I never heard a much worse case, and I shall not give the prisoner the option of pay ing a tine, but shall commit him for a mouth with hard labour. The prisoner seemed rather surprised at the deci sion. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. know] and Exeter ,)alcdonian ..._..• C:imbrtan Cork and 8and0n..... . 1 Corn wall .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO A HoRsE.--Thornas Stephens, of No. 24, Chester-street, Kensington, a cab proprietor, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and with cruelty to a horse by twisting its tongue and beating it. An officer of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals watched the case. Mr. Thomas Tod said—About eight o'clock last night I was in Regent-street, when I saw the pri soner whipping a horse attached to a cart very severely. I spoke to the prisoner about his cruelty, when he replied, " It will be a good job if it dies," and the prisoner, who was then standing at the horse's head, seized hold of its tongue with one hand and twisted it, while with the other hand he lashed the horse. Mr. Knox—Was there any question of the horse drawing an overweight? Mr. Tod—No. Mr. Knox—What did he strike the horse with? Mr. Tod—With his whip, and he struck it about a dozen times. The horse could not move, as the prisoner stood in front of him. A gentleman w en t for a constable, and gave the prisoner in charge. The prisoner —I did strike the horse, I will admit. Mr. V. Goss said—l was in the Regent-circus last night and saw the horse in a terrible condition, and with my wife stood five minutes while the pri soner lashed it. The prisoner then took hold of the horse's tongue and pulled it out and twisted it, and struck the horse with the butt end of his whip about the face. I afterwards saw him continue to lash the horse, when at last he was given into ow tody by a gentleman. The prisoner --.I vM4 cruel as you state, Police-oonstable Harris, 17 C.-=About last night the prisoner WO gireA !.nt's! 111:i custody by a gentleman iti Ticiihorne-.3"ireet, the gentleman charging him with cruelly Musing his horse, by strikin- • • with one hand and pulling out its tongue and . twisting it with the other, The prisoner, who had been drinking, said the horse was a stubborn brute, but when I drove it myself for nearly half a mile I found it a very quiet and pretty good horse. One of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had seen the horse, and said there was something the matter with its feet. Mr. Knox—lt is no use for mo to see the horse, for any wheals which there might have been on it last night by this time will be obliterated. George Young, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said— There are two wheals about the horse now, but they would go down in a few hours. The prisoner --I Lye only had the home three THAMES. FRAUDS ON TIM LONDON AND ST. KATHERINE DOCK COMPANY.—John Holt, a labourer, was brought before Mr. B,mson charged with attempting to defraud the London and St. Katherine Dock Company of 2s. 6d. A man was committed by Mr. Benson last week for a precisely similar offence. The dock company have been frequently defrauded by a set of lazy scoundrels, who mix among the numerous gangs of men as their names are called over at the end of a day's work, answer to names as they are called over, and obtain half• a-crown for a day's work although they have done no work at all. The dock company have prosecuted many of these skulkers, but the frauds still continue. Latterly, in consequence of increased vigilance on the part of the dock, although nume rous frauds have been attempted, they have not been successful. Yesterday afternoon, while Mr. Baker, one of the warehouse keepers, was paying some of the men, the prisoner made his appearance and called his name Holt. He was told to stand aside. Some time afterwards he presented himself at the window of the pay-office. Mr. Baker had then paid all but the prisoner, who had a tin ticket, which he said was given to him that morning, and entitled him to a day's work. Mr. Baker asked him where he had been at work, to which he made the vague reply, "In a warehouse." Mr. Baker said there were a great many warehouses, and asked him in which he had been at work ? The prisoner said he did not know. Mr. Baker sent for all the warehouse keepers, 16 in number, who all said in the pri soner's presence that he had not been at work in any of their departments or warehouses. The pri soner was then given into the custody of Ross, a dock constable, and charged with attempting to obtain a half-crown by false pretences. Mr. Mum ford, the superintendent of the dock police, said he made all manner of excuses to him, and at last said ho was taken ill and could not work, and had nothing to eat for twenty-four hours, that he intended to mention his inability to work to the wharfinger, and that he could not find him. The prisoner also said that he laid down in a warehouse, and fell asleep. It appeared the prisoner would have received a half-crown if he had not shown such impatience in calling out his name before the warehouse keeper arrived at it on the list. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. THREE POLICEMEN 81107 IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, Wednesday. Captain Warren, one of the alleged Fenians ar rested at Dunglrvan, was arraigned to-day at the Commission. He claimed a mixed jury of Irish men and Americans, which was refused by the court. fie then directed his counsel to withdraw from his defence. The Attorney-General then proceeded to state the case. A policeman was shot this morning on Welling ton-quay. He is severely wounded. The parti culars of the occurence have not yet been ascer tained. Two policemen were shot. It is feared both are morknhl T ,rvuuLlea. They were standing at the opposite side of the street, and the murderer having shot one, walked over and fired at the other.

The Judges took their seats at nine o'clock, and the prisoners Gould, Allen, Larkin, Maguire, and Shore were placed in the dock. John Knowles, a grocer, living close to the scene of the affray, was the first witne,ss called. lie repeated the evidence he gave at the police court, but in his cress-examination by Mr. Digby Seymour he posi tively denied that lie bad ever said he would like to see a Fenian hanged. William Hughes, a lad 18 years of age, who gave a detailed narrative of the whole scene, was cross examined by Mr. Digby Seymour, and so pre varicated that his evidence will go for little or nothing.

During the hearing of the case it was inciden tally stated that the deceased was in the punishment cell, and that consequently he did not go to chapel.
