YIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change to notice in the progress of business in the general discount market. The sup plies of capital continue abundant, and but few first-class bills are on offer, the rates current still ranging under the Bank minimum, being 1 per cent. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a further influx of £20,000 from the Brazils. The . Silver continues quiet ; in dollars there is, however, a decline of j. The City of Boston, from New York, has brought specie amounting to about £35,000. Payment is announced of the Coupon of the Eng lish series K 5 per Cent. Debentures, Dutch Mort gage Bank, at the rate of £1 ss. each, at the offices of Messrs. E. and A. Worms. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 25i 24, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, to 22 23. The following in reference to the bop trade is from the annual circular of Messrs. Woolloton and Son, of the Borough :—An attack of blight in several districts of the home plantations gave, at one time, Much reason to fear that a very moderate crop would be produced, but the seasonable weather of the last few weeks has resulted in a recovery incredible to those who are unmindful of similar changes in pre vious seasons, and it is gratifying to be assured that the quality of the English growth is more than usually choice. Still it is alleged by some that the amount of improvement is exaggerated, and that the crop is Only equal to an old duty of £BO,OOO or £90,000, while many, whose judgment is not less worthy of respect, confidently affirm that a produce equal to more than £200,000 may be relied upon. Probably a moderate estimate of £lBO,OOO is fair and reason able, considering that 70,000 acres of land are now under full cultivation. Fortunately the con tinental crop has never been so abundant, and, for the first time since the abolition of hop duties, consumers will reap the full advantage of large importations. It cannot be doubted that the crop on . the Continent is so far beyond local require ments that more than 250,000 cwts. are available f or export. In America, although blight has at tacked the Eastern States, the produce of the whole country will exceed the moderate crop of last year. It is much to be regretted that in spite of recent legis lation and the vigilance of a London trade committee consumers have no adequate protection against the fraudulent mixtures of wild and worthless foreign hops, constantly offered at low prices, under various fictitious designations. On the continent, not less than at home, the consumption of hops has, from various causes, considerably diminished during the past twelve months. With an important surplus of yearlings and a growth of new hops throughout the world, far larger than the produce of 1866, it may be anticipated that even, if the opening prices are temporarily sustained by the firmness of holders of yearlings, the fortunate Position of English growers, and the hurry of the usual early demand, consumers, by exercising a pru dent reserve, need not pay the same high prices which Were obtained for the grow thof last year ; prices which Yielded the most profit to producers, and have everywhere tended largely further to increase the amount of land under hop cultivation. To circulate so plain a statement of facts in regard to the hop tr ade may not be popular, but the interests of growers, merchants, and consumers are really best Served by the diffusion of information strictly accu rate, instead of propounding theories based upon a s peculative bias in favour of either an advance or a d ecline in prices.

Another meeting of the committee of trades delegates appointed to make the arrangements for the proper carrying out of this fete and banquet was held last evening at the Bell lun, Old Bailey. Mr. George Potter, the chairman of the committee, presided. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and approved of, The CHAIRMAN, OR the part of the sub-com mittee, reported what had been done sinc e last meeting. Everything, so far as th e committee were aware, was progressing in a mo s t satisfactory manner. Several letters had been re ceived from parties consenting to have their names placed on the honorary committee, and expressi ng their cordial concurrence in the objects the commit tee had in view. One of these letters was from Sir J. Bowring, who gave his ready assent to have hi s name on the committee, and stating that he would be present at the banquet. Others had been received from Rev. Dr. Massey, Mr. J. Haywood, late mem ber for South Lancashire, and Alderman C ar t er, of L e eds, much to the same effect. He had a l so to state that a circular embodying the resolution adopted a t the last meeting had been sent to all employers of labour, suggesting to them, as far as practicable, to give to their employes a holiday on the 30th inst., so that they might h ave an opportun i ty of attending the celebration. To that circular he had every reason to believe the employers would give a favourable response. He had also to lay before the committee a letter which he had received from Mr. John Cunnington, one of the vice-presidents of the Reform League, respecting the position taken up by that body as regarded the fete. Mr. Cunning ton regretted much that any difference should have arisen between the two bodies, and a s a means of binding up these differences he suggested that the president of the League Mr. Beales, should be asked to preside on the occa sion. It would therefore be for the committee to consider that letter, and to come to some decision respecting it. In regard to the differences alluded to by Mr. Cunnington, they were all aware that they were of the League's own making. The Working Men's Association had done all in their power to obtain the co-operation of the League, but up to this time they had, unfortunately, been unsuccessful. He could assure the committee that he had always been most anxious to co-operate with the League, and if the inviting Mr. Beales to preside on the occasion of the fete would bring about- a reconciliation between the two bodies, he would not in any respect stand in the way, but would be most willing to give place to Mr. Beales. (Hear, hear.) It would, however, be for the committee to decide what action they were to take respecting Mr. Cunnington's letter. Mr. JENKINS wanted to know whether Mr. Beales, if asked, would consent to preside, as he had stated in a letter which he had published on the subject that he would not be in England at the time of the banquet. . The CHAIRMAN replied that he had put that ques tion to Mr. Cunnington, who replied that be had not seen Mr. Beales on the subject, but that he would guarantee his acceptance of the office if invited. -- • --- Mr. PARDOE then moved a resolution to the effect that the consideration of the question involved in Mr. Cuunington's letter be adjourned to next meet ing, and that the thanks of the committee be given to that gentleman, and to those that are acting with him in this matter for their good intentions, and trusted that the object of reconciliation might be effected. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Stacy, and having been supported by Mr. George Brooke, Mr. Olding, and others, was adopted unanimously, it being understood that the committee take no action in the matter, but leave it to Mr. Cunnington and his friends. It having been stated that no answer had been received from Mr. Gladstone as to whether he would attend the banquet, Mr. WICKS moved that a deputation of two be appointed to wait on that gentleman, and get an answer from him as to whether he would attend or not. Mr. JENKINS having seconded the motion, Mr. BROOKE said though Mr. Gladstone had pre viously hesitated about attending the banquet, con sidering the public position he occupied, that hesita tion ought now to be put aside, for Mr. Disraeli had consented to attend a similar banquet in Edinburgh, and why should not Mr. Gladstone attend one here? In fact, he regretted that they had not invited Mr. Disraeli to this banquet. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to, and a deputation of two appointed to wait on Mr. Gladstone. Several matters of detail having been arranged, the proceedings terminated. A DISASTROUS LIST FOR UNDERWRITERS.--The following list of shipping disasters was received in Liver pool yesterday :—The Jane and Margaret, bound from Sunderland to Aberdeen, has boon lost off Holy Island. The Gracenti Capuli, bound to Buenos Ayres, has been wrecked near Monte Video. The Spanish barque Ysabel, bound from Coruuna to Buenos Ayres, is reported to be a total wreck near Fernando Pc.

Robinson, Everitt, and Davis, three men belong ing to the City gang of burglars, were placed before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, charged with an attempted burglary in Noble-street, Wood-street, Cheapside, and also with having skeleton keys in their possession. It will be remembered that on Monday, the 9th inst., Noble, a city detective, observed the prisoners hanging about the doors of some houses in Noble-street, and heard them men tion something about a key. He followed them, and with Inspector White and Sergeant Moss took them into custo3y and found seven keys upon them. . _ have been learnt from what has already taken Sergeant Moss now stated that he had been to the house No. 13, Noble-street, but none of the keys would open it. He tried Nos. 27, 28, and 30, and the keys opened them all. One key opened both 27 and 29. They are warehouses. He went to the houses where the prisoners had been seen. On the last occasion he had said that the keys would open all the locks--he should have said all the common ones. place. Prisoner—l was drunk, or should not have done it. Mr. Selfe—lt is no excuse. I cane of look over it. You are Committed for 14 days. 691 70 60; 70 Several persons in Noble street stated that they had seen some persons hanging about, and a watch man said that he heard the lock click, and went out and saw three men, but could not recognise the prisoners as the persons. Inspector 'White said that he went to the place where the prisoners were taken, and one of them gave him three keys. 'William Warnes, Sergt. 18 Y, said that about the spring of the year 1858 he had Rubinson in cus tody for an extensive robbery in Hackney. He was convicted and sentenced to nine months' imprison ment. He had not seen him for five years. Mr. M. Williams, barrister, defended the prisoner Robinson, and Mr. Beard Everitt.

A man named William Rowley, and his son, a lad about 15, were charged with forgery. Henry Swabe, a tobacconist, 164, Strand, said that on the 20th August last, the younger pri soner brought him a letter, purporting to come from Mr. Smythe, a retired publican, residing in Grove-street, South Hackney, re questing him to give to him two descriptions of cigars to the amount of £6 18S. The letter contained a cheque for the amount, drawn on the London and County Bank. He sent a boy with the prisoner, and they went in an omnibus as far as Victoria-road, when they got out, and he gave the prisoner one of the parcels of cigars to carry, while he took the other himself. When they reached the residence of Mr. Smythe the boy gave the prisoner the other parcel, and returned. He paid the cheque into the London and Westminster Bank, but it was returned to him marked "No account." The cheque was crossed, which was the reason he did not pay it into the London and County Bank. Mr. Abel Smythe said that he had known the elder prisoner, who was his brother-in-law, for 15 years. He had received letters from him, and iden tified the letter produced as being in his hand writing. After some further evidence the prisoners were remanded until Thursday next for the production of additional evidence. It appeared that the elder prisoner had been convicted - three- times, and there was another charge against both prisoners, which was postponed in the absence of a material witness. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT IN A CHAPEL.— Mary Nagle, described as a lodging-house keeper, of No. 1, Fitzroy Market, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Ogle-street, Marylebone, to the annoyance of the congregation. The Rev. David Nicols said—Yesterday, just after the evening service, the prisoner came into the chapel and called out for the priest, saying that she had a charge to make against him, and that she would expose him before the whole congregation. I went up to her and asked her to sit down and hold her tongue, but she refused, and made such a disturbance that I was obliged to call upon two persons to put her out of the place. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was she drunk ? Witness—She was considerably in liquor. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the service over ? Witness—lt was just over, but the whole congre gation was there. Matthew Morris, of No. 14, Grafton-street, said —Just as the service was over the prisoner walked up to the altar in a very excited state, and called out at the top of her voice to the priest. I tried to appease her, but could not, and then requested her to go out, but she refused to do so, stating that it was a public church. The Rev. Mr. Nicols requested me to assist in putting her out, and I did so, when she made a grasp at my face and scratched me. Police-constable Robert Pitt, 171 E, said—l was fetched to the chapel last night, and found the pri soner at the door, and three persons, including the two witnesses, holding her. The prisoner had been drinking, was very much excited, ani used most abominable language. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What was it all about ? Constable—l believe there is some grievance be tween her and the authorities of the chapel. Prisoner—l did not go to insult the gentleman in court. The priest had scandalised the character of my daughter, aged 18, who could not hold up her head in consequence, and I can get no satisfaction. I have been to Lincoln's-inn-fields, and they sent me elsewhere. I went to the priest's house, but the housekeeper always denies him, and so I thought I would go to the chapel as I might meet him there, intending to scandalise him as he had done my child. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You will have to pay 108. for being drunk and disorderly. WESTMINSTER. COMBINATIONS OF WORK MEN.—Joseph Massey, a respectable looking young man, was brought up on a warrant charged with violently assaulting a fellow-workman, on the ground that he was not a Union man, and worked for too little wages. Frederick Bastio said—l am a French polisher, and so is the prisoner, and we lately worked for Mr. Deer, at Knightsbridge. lie left there on Saturday, but I remained. On Monday I came out for my dinner at 12 o'clock, and went to a beershop in Kinnerton-street. Prisoner came in there and abused me. lie said " I was an outsider, and not lit to live." Mr. Selfe—What did he mean by " outsider ?" Complainant—lle meant that I " did not belong ,o the society." Mr. Selfe—And consequently unfit to live. What else did he say ? Complainant—lie said I would work for any one at any price. I told him I had a wife and children, and was bound to support them. He told me to get up and fight. I told him I was no fight ing man, when he seized me by my whiskers and struck me three or four times on the face. Prisoner—l had been drinking, or I should not Lave done it, but after telling lies he called me a liar. He said when he came to the shop to work that he belonged to the Union, and I found out he did not, as he worked under price. • Complainant—l said I did belong to the Union. So I did once. Prisoner—You said you belonged to it now. Mr. Selfe—A man has a right to work for what he pleases. I should havo thought a lesson might THAMES. HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH - VIOLENCE IN A PUBLIC STREET.—Francis Green, described as a hammerman, .aged 27, of No. 1, London-terrace, St. George's-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with being concerned mith others in assaulting and robbing Mrs: Ca 3 oline Major North, wife of a tradesman, dwelling at No. 59, Cable-street, St. George. Mrs. Major North stated that on Monday after noon last at three o'clock she was passing along the Cannon-street-road, wearing her gold watch and chain, when a young man rushed from a narrow alley and seized her chaid with both hands, pulled the watch from the pocket in her dress, and tried to break the chain, which was a strong one, and for some time resisted all hi 3• efforts to rend it asunder. She struggled with the villain, and he dragged her along by the chain, forced her on the ground, and by a violent effort disengaged the gold watch from the chain, and ran away with it up the court. Her mouth was bleeding from the violence offered to her, and no one came to her assist ance. The prisoner and another man were right in front of her and the thief while she was being illused and robbed. They looked on, and the pri soner said to the man who was dragging her along, " You -- fool, why don't you do it better than that? " There were many persons in a low beer shop opposite to the place where she was robbed, but no one interfered. Mr. Benson—Did you cry police, thieves, or murder ? Witness—The attack was so sudden, and I was dragged along so roughly, that I had not the power to do so. The Prisoner—Are you quite sure that I said, " You fool, why don't you do it better ? " Witness—Yes, I am sure of it. The prisoner —What I said was, " It's a shame to treat a woman in that manner." Witness—No, you said nothing of the kind. Porter William Dunaway, Police-sergeant No. 11 11, of the detective police, said he apprehended. the prisoner yesterday afternoon, and said to him, " Do you know who lam ?" to which he replied, gi Ye s . I know what you are come about, Mr. Dunaway ; it is about the lady that has been robbed of her watch." Witness said, " The lady has stated that you and another man were standing by all the time it was done." On the way to the station house the prisoner said, "I saw the three men that did it they came down out of the court a few minutes be fore the lady came up." At the station house he told the prisoner that he had been heard to declare that he saw the watch lying on the footpath for fen minutes. The prisoner denied this, and said that he laid bold of the young man's arm, when he was robbing the lady, and said to him, " What a -- shame it is, you villain." He asked the pri soner why he did not lay hold of the thief. The prisoner said, " I do not know whatever came over me, my powers seemed to leave me. I could not hold him." Dunaway added that a very low lot inhabited Bowyer's Buildings, opposite to where the robbery was committed. The court led to St. George's-terrace, another bad place. There were numerous thieves, burglars, prostitutes, and other infamous characters" in those places, and the inhabi tants of Cannon-street-road who did not belong to the dangerous classes were afraid of their badly &posed and wicked neighbours, and would not interfere if they saw a robbery or outrage committed. Mr. Benson—That is an alarming state of things indeed. Police-sergeant Dillon, No. 19 K, confirmed the statement of Dunaway as to the lawless state of the district near the place where the robbery was com mitted. Mr. Benson—A respectable woman is illused and robbed in the daytime in a crowded thoroughfare, and people look on and don't interpose. It appears to me that many more could be charged besides the prisoner. The public-house, in which were SO many persons of bad character, should be reported to the licensing magistrates. Dillon—lt was a low beershop, not under the control of the magistracy. The prisoner has been hanging about there and associating with bad cha racters for a long time. Mr. Benson was afraid he would not be justified in detaining the prisoner, although the circumstances were suspicious, and finally ordered him to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of £lO to appear next week. lie hoped the perpetrator of the audacious robbery would be arrested. 7HE COLLISION ON 71IE RIVER. The inquest on Sergeant Barry was resumed this morning. John Keddy said he was Captain of the Went worth, but Mr. Allen, Trinity pilot, was in charge of her all the day of the collision. If the Metis had continued the course they first saw her taking she would have cleared the Wentworth. The witness gave some practical evidence as to the rules governing ships' courses. Mr. Jackson, Chairman of the Woolwich Steam Packet Company, was examined, and also Thos. Blackland, who considered that if the Metis had gone to the north she could have cleared the Went worth. The inquiry is still proceeding, and is likely to be very protracted. TRADE INTIMIDATION AT PLYMO UTIL The shipbuilders here divide their work into two classes--new, or building, and old, or repairing. The customary wages for old work are higher than for new work. Mr. Joseph Banks, builder, has been in the habit of paying 21s. per week for new, and 30s. for old work. About a month since he had an American ship to repair, and on her 30 extra men were employed at 303. per week, and continued until the repairs were completed. At that time Mr. Banks had two men, non-unionists, enga,gel on new work at 21s. per week ; but they were so much worried by the extra men that they were obliged to leave.the : town, although one had a wife and seven children,- and could obtain employment nowhere else. Four men of the port offered at the same wages, but for some unexplained reason refrained from coming. After this ten of the discontented men offered, but Mr. Banks declined to employ them, as they had assisted in driving the two non-unionists away. Having occasion for extra labour he advertised for six men at 21s. per week for nen work, and obtained four from Bideford and two from Padstow. They commenced work last week, and have ever since re sisted the coaxing, threats, and intimidations of the unionists ; but it has been necessary to appeal to the magistrates to enable the men to go uninjured to their homes. The following is the verbatim copy of a letter which Mr. Banks received by post last week —" Plymouth, Sept. 9. Sir,—You have taken on 6 shipwrits and you know you have employed those men under wages of the port of Plymouth, and you are the first master in the port to cut our money down ; you tried too on the last job you had, whot is the reason of your doeing, do it make any dif ference to yoti what we get on Old work, i can• tell you you had better mind whot you are about for we shipwrits of Plymouth will let you know we are men not to be trampled and by the likes of you, and if do not discharge those 6 men we sware we will do for you and yourn, for i expect one night you will have your brains blown out and your house gat on fire, so the best thing you can do his discharge them directly, if nut you are a dead man' and your house no more ; you will find Plymouth a second Sheffield, and we shipwrits a second Broad head. So no more from your aue of a Plymouth shipwrits." FATAL EXPLOSION.—During blasting operations at West Hoe quarries, Plymouth, on Saturday afternoon, a Chiti,ge - Of - ganpoWder exploded sooner than was antici pated, the consequence being that a man named Richard Gourd was blown 4 distance of 18 feet, and fell on a rook dead, COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. - British Columbia, 6 per' cent..

Deacon, keeper of the Agbrigg tollgate, was summoned before W. 11. Leatbain, M P., and W. B. Beaumont, M.P., for demanding toll from the Rev. James Taylor, bead master of the Wakefield Grammar School, when on his way to Ardsley Church, where, by permission of the Archbishop of York, he was taking Sunday duty for the incumbent, who had obtained leave of absence for six months. The conveyance in which Mr. Taylor was travel ling was not his own or a hired one, but borrowed from a friend, and in it, besides himself, were the driver and a clergyman, who was going to assist him. Deacon admitted that Mr. Taylor might have claimed exemption had he been alone, but coutonded that under the present circum stances he was bound to pay. On the other hand, Mr. Taylor submitted that, as the toll was for the horse and carriage, and not for the person riding in it, he could not bo compelled to pay toll, even though ho was accompanied by another person, no matter whether that other person was a clergyman or not. In support of this view he quoted two cases decided at that very court, in the first of which a man was riding with a police-officer, and in the other Mr. E. A. Leatham was driving to Wakefield to vote for his brother (the presiding magistrate), being accompanied by his family. The court eventually gave judgment against the teligato-keeper, and ordered biro to pay cote, MAILKETS.--Tids day. The attendance at this morning's market was only mode rate, and business in all descriptions of produce was limited. Fresh up from Essex and Rent, both coastwise and by rail, the arrivals of new English wheat have been seasonably extensive, and in fair condition. For both rod and white qualities there was a steady sale, at fully Monday's cur rencies. Foreign wheats were firm, at that day's values. The show was extensive. Barley, owing to its scarcity, fully maintained lato rates. Floating cargos of grain have been in good request, at the late advance in the quotations. Malt, which was in good supply, was without alteration. The arrival of oats had been largo, and good sound corn moved off steadily, on previous terms. Bears met a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in values. Peas wero in short supply, but tho demand was inactive. and prices remain unaltered. The flour trada was dull, but Monday's prices wore sup ported. Iu cakes there was little doing, on previous terms; and agricultural seeds are held for fully as much money as on Monday last.

Yesterday Captain Matthew Irvin, the master of the ship Balcamarra, was brought before Mr. Ben son, at the Thames Police court, charged with the wilful murder of Joseph Heck, a seaman. Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner. Inspector Alston, of the Thames police, stated that in consequence of information he arrested the prisoner that day, and told him he was charged with assaulting Joseph Heck on board the ship Balca marra, on the 7th July last, and causing him to jump overboard. The prisoner said he expected a prosecu. tion by the Board of Trade, but not by the police, and added, " Well, it cannot be helped." The wit ness then put in the official log-book of the Bal camarra. There was no entry of the occurrence in question in any leaf of the log, but a sheet of foolscap was pasted within it, in which appeared the follow ing statement, which seemed to have been recently written :—" Sunday morning, July 7, 1867, 10 a.m., 34.24 longitude, 17 deg. E.—This morning Joseph Heck, A. 8., being at the wheel, the mate, carpen ter, and the master talking together at the front, or break of the poop. John Nash, seaman, called out, ' Joe is overboard.' Immediately the mate came aft, the man holding on to the boom-guy, which hangs over the taffrail, but before the mate could reach him he lost his hold and fell into the water. The master ordered the helm to be put down, and to call all hands, and he ran aft with the life-buoy, and hove it to the man, within a few fathoms of him. The ship immediately came to the wind, and the boat was launched in five minutes. The boatswain had been ordered to the masthead, and was there keeping a look-out for him. The boat was at the place of his falling into the water in less than fifteen minutes after he fell overboard, but they could not see him: The boatswain reported after the boat came back, which was in three-quarters of an hour, that after swimming to within two or three fathoms of the life-buoy the man suddenly disappeared ; done all in our power to save him, but to no effect. At 9 a.m. hoisted in the boat and kept the ship on her course, the chief mate taking an inventory of his effects. Matthew Irvin, master ; Andrew David Morgan, chief mate ; Robert Dennison, boatswain ; and Peter Olson, carpenter." Jas. Taylor, an apprentice on board the Balca marra on her last voyage to Ceylon, stated that on the 7th July the crew were washing the poop. He was in the mizen chains drawing water between six and eight in the morning. The captain was reading a book belonging to Heck, who had made entries in it relating to his bad treatment on board, and all at once the captain hit the deceased and abused him. The captain said, " Put that down, and add it up and see what it will amount to." The captain then struck Heck several times with his spy-glass, and knocked him down three or four times. As fast as Heck got up the captain knocked him down again. Heck appeared to be very much hurt and tried to escape from the cap tain, but was unable to do so. Three or four minutes afterwards there was a cry of " Joe over board," and he was seen in the water and went down. Mr. Benson--By Joe, you mean the deceased? Witness—Yes, sir. In answer to other questions by the Magistrate, the witness said that they had rounded the Cape when the affair occurred. The ship arrived in the port of London on Monday afternoon. Eight of the crew left the ship at St. Helena. Inspector Alston said he expected that some of the men who had left the Balcamarra at St. Helena t,) arrive here shortly, and they could give material evidence. The steward of the ship, who was a very timid man, and who had been ill-used, was in Lon don, and did not like to attend. Mr. Benson—lll used by whom ? Inspector Alston—By the captain. Mr. Benson—lf it is necessary he must be sum moned. Mr. Pelham submitted there was no evidence to substantiate any criminal . charge against the pri soner, and there was not ablemish on his character. The charge on the police-sheet was not proved. 11r. Benson—That he feloniously assaulted the deceased and caused him to jump into the sea and was drowned ? A man on the ed g e of a quay, and so brutally ill used that, to escape farther punish ment, he jumps into the river before him and is drowned, that would be wilful murder. Mr. Pelham—There is no prima facie evidence that the deceased jumped into the sea to escape ill treatment by the captain. Mr. Benson said that it was proved that the captain beat the seaman with his telescope and knocked Lim down several times, and that three or four minutes afterwards the seaman was overboard and was drowned. The charge was of a very serious nature, and must undergo a full investigation. He should remand the prisoner. Mr. Pelham asked the magistrate to accept of bail. Mr. Benson said he would accept of sureties for the prisoner, himself in his own personal recogni sanccs of £2OO, and two sureties. Mr. Pelham said that one gentleman present would give bail to any amount, but at that late hour of the day, if two sureties were required, the prisoner must go to prison for the night. After some discussion, Mr. Benson accepted the bail of Mr. James Pat terson Train, shipowner, of No. 63, Fenehurch street, in the sum of £2OO, and the prisoner in the like amount, and he was liberated. Barrack Sergeant lolling, Woolwich Division Royal Marines, yesterday received his promotion as quartermaster, and is appointed to Plymouth, vice Lieut. and Quartermaster Pritchett, whose period of Staff service has expired; and Sergeant-Nlajor Woon has been promoted as quartermaster and ap pointed to Chatham.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price (t lis. boo. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 10sil per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
