Business in th e Cit y _ h as rema i ne d very qu i e t , although rumours of an adverse character have been current with regard to affairs on the Continent, which, however, require confirmation. In the general discount market there is no change, as the attendance in commercial circles in the City as usual on Saturday is very restricted. The sum of £2,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. With regard to the suspension of Messrs. Vivanti, Arnett, and Co., it is stated that the liabilities are about £ 3 00,000, and that the books are placed in the hands of Messrs. Honey and Humphreys, accountants. The directors of the Rio de Janeiro City Im provements Company (Limited) have declared a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum in respect of revenue for the half-year ended 30th June last. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Company an nounced yesterday having received the sum of £1,37 6 4s. Bd. from the Custom-house at Sabanilla, on account of New Granada dividends. The traffic receipts of the East India Railway for th e week ending September 8, 1867, amounted to 30 ,616 Os. 9d., against £34,776 13s. 7d. for the eorr e slim tiding period in the previous year, showing a decrease of £4,160 12s. 10d. h Atl antic and Great Western R a il wa y D e b en t ur es ave advanced to 25k 26k, and the Consolidated alortg a ge Bonds r e ma i n s t ea d y a t 21 22.

LONOON r SATUR OA Y EVEN G, OCTOBER 2% 1867. C O:VS ER 1 /S3l J T COVEN TR Y. COVENTRY, Friday. Last evening th e "innti; -, :uraldinner" of the Work -1 ing Men's Conservative AsA:teiation of this city took place in the Corn-exchange. It was also arranged that this should be the occasion for " celebrating the passing of the Reform Bill, and to afford the Con , servatives of this city and the neighbourhood an op portunity of expressing their approval of the do mestic and foreign policy of Lord Derby's Govern ment." Nearly 600 were present, a very large proportion of the a3semblx , e being what is called " woiking Inn." Tili? exchange was fillA, and it was stated that but for that cireunritance many more tickets could have been sold. At the cross-table there were some of the princi pal residents of the city ; the Right Hon. C. B. Aciderley, M.P., presided, and on his right and left were Mr. D. Bromley and Mr. Wise, county mem bers, and Mr. Eaton, one of the members for the city. The presence of Mr. Ferrand had been an nounced, but the lion. gentleman did not attend. The usual loyal toasts having been given, that of " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" was ac knowledged by the Rev. R. 11. Baynes, rector of St. Michael's. Mr. Alderman LINES proposed " The Earl of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers." He said Lord Derby, the Premier, stood " head and shoulders" above any other man in the House of Peers in fit ness for his post, and Mr. Disraeli was one of the greatest men of the 19th century. He congratu lated those present on the fact that this was the largest political dinner that had ever taken place in Coventry. The Right Hon. C. B. ADDEELILY, on rising to respond, was received with loud cheers. lle said— It does my heart good to hear the toast of Lord Derby and her Majesty's Ministers, among whom I humbly sQrve, so heartily received by at least 600 of the good men of Coventry, to say nothing of the galaxy of beauty which in largo numbers surrounds them in the gallery. I can say with perfect con fidence that there is nothing more to Lord Derby's heart and nothing that his colleagues attach more importance to than such associations as the present. (Hear, hear.) A similar institution in Birming ham made me their medium of inviting Mr. Dis raeli a few weeks ago to a banquet which they pro posed in the Town-hall. Mr. Disraeli's answer, which was cordial, as it should be, was that he was prevented from any possibility of accepting their magnificent invitation at the present moment, but that ho hoped before long to have the honour of being their guest. (Cheers.) I saw Sir John Pakington this morning at Stoneleigb, and he told me that he had a similar invitation from a similar association in the city of York, which be is about to attend in a few days from the present time. I will now propose what is really the toast of the evening, " Success to the Coventty Working Men's Liberal-Conservative Association." (Loud Cheers.) This class of associations arc springing up —recently it is true, but yet vigorously and increasingly—in all the principal towns and cities of this kingdom. (Hear, hear.) Not only so, but they are springing up entirely of their own accord, and without any external influences. By this they show two things. First, they express a genuine feeling felt throughout the country ; and in the second place they, by the occasion on which they have sprung up, express a special protest against what is going on. The feeling that they so express is the feeling of Con servatism throughout this country, the love of order, the reserve of the Celtic principle, the feeling of common sense which animates Englishmen pos sessing the most enviable institutions in the world, that it is better to leave good alone, and that when they are happy they do not wish for a change. (Hear.) I recollect once putting this question to Mr. Cobden, " Do you not confess that the tendency of Englishmen is Conservative ?" His answer was, " Conservative is an expression hardly strong enough; they are Chinese" ("hear, hear, and laughter)— " and if our great grandmothers had put our grand fathers' infant feet into small shoes we should do the saute." (Hear, hear," and laughter.) I ventured a joke upon the occasion, and said we should have another corn law in that case. (Laughter.) He did not take the joke—he was a practical man—but he was perfectly justified in the opinion which he expressed that there is no nation, and justly and reasonably so, which is so tenacious of its oar's habits and institutions. (Hear, hear.) So much for the feeling which is expressed by these great associa tions. We have bad Conservative associations for a long time, but there must be something special which has called into existence associations such as the present. (Hear, hear.) This something is what I call a protest against what is going on. The associa tions protest against that sham Liberalism which has for some time been bawling about the country —(laughter)—in the name of the people of England, and especially in the name of the artisans and the working classes. (Hear, hear.) These working men's associations protest that the sham Liberals have taken their names in vain and without their consent—(hear, hear)—that they arc a narrow clique of agitators who inscribe the name of the people upon their brazen trumpets. (Cheers. " The great people of England," says Mr. Beales, " must have the public parks for their own use," notwithstanding that the real people of England, when they have spoken for themselves about public parks, protest that they don't wish those parks for their own particular purposes. " The people of England,' , says Mr. Bright, " must wrench their rights from a hostile aristocracy," no matter the fact that all the real people of England know perfectly well that the people are with the aristocracy, and that the aristocracy are of the people. (Hear, hear.) These men inflate their class cant to assume a national dimension, and by imputing to their opponents all the vices which are common to human nature they have gradually acquired all the egotism and into lerance which have spread bitterness and rancour and animosity throughout the country generally. (Cheers.) There is nothing so .overbearing either in religion or in politics as our " one-eyed" Re former—(hear, and laughter)—who claims to him self all the public virtues and all the wisdom in the country, and who cannot conceive it possible that anybody else should either wish or do anything for his country's good, unless through his own parti cular view. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There are : two great parties in the country —one iu favour of conservatism of what is, and the other who go in for progress and change. (Hear, hear.) The object of these associations is to protest against the non sensical idea that there is any class in this country which can claim to itself all the virtue and patrio tism, or that there is any other class which has all the prejudice•and the folly of this country. (Hear.) In all the party straggles which this country has yet seen there has been a spirit above all parties— a spirit of patriotism, which in diffeeent views has animated both. (Hear, hear.) The revolutions in English history have never been long subversive, but have been nothing mese than the birth struggles of fresh generations of hereditary freemen among us. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobden in the corn law agitation said he did not believe the difficulty would result in revolution, for the reason that the aristocracy of this country always knew when to give way. (Hear.) It has been the same in the agitation for electoral reform. (hear, hear.)

(Laughter.) The Con servative party have passed a bill for the country at large which the professed Liberals wanted to secure for one class alone, and, having done so, the Re formers at once turned round and blamed them for having passed the measure at all. I believe that ' the most fortunate thing that could have happened in the course of such a great question in this coun try is that the question has not been settled by the victory of parties seeking power, but by concession; on the part of the power itself.

This was an action to recover for the hire of four carriages and pairs, defendant having paid a sum on account, which he alleged was agreed upon. Plaintiff said that he was a job-master, and de fendant acted in the, same capacity, and upon a certain occasion defendant hired four carriages and pairs for a wedding. He arranged to keep them a certain time, from three to four hours, but ho did keep them six hours. He paid £6 when he hired the carriages. This was not at all reasonable, con sidering the time he kept them. Defendant said that he agreed with plaintiff to pay so much for the job, and he was not tied down to three hours. The fact was that the wedding party wanted a drive after coming out of church, and they were taken round the suburbs. One of the coachmen was called, and deposed that he drove to the house from which the wedding party started at half-past 9 in the morning. His Honour—Well, how long did the wedding last Coachman—l hardly know. His Honour—l suppose it did not last from half past nine till 12 o'clock ? Coachman—l think not. After the wedding the parties wanted a drive, and they were driven about. Defendant—Of course we could not drive a wedding party about the streets of Loudon, and it had been arranged that they should go a little way out. His Honour asked plaintiff what time was agreed upon ? Plaintiff—From three to four hours, and they kept the carriages six. His Honour thought the charges were not un reasonable, considering the time the vehicles had been kept ; but as there was some dispute about one of the carriage windows being broken, the case must b 3 adjourned for evidence upon that point only. This was an action to recover ls. 81., or what is familiarly known iu the trade as grinding money, and his honour remarked at the opening of the case that he hal decided in favour of the men upon this question. On the part of the d.:;fendant, however, it was urged that since the introduction of the hour system the relations of the employers and employed were materially altered, and that under the new regulations the workmen were not entitled to re cover grinding money. His Honour considered that there was a great deal of force in this suggestion, observing that if a man were paid by the hour it .would be very un reasonable to give him payment for two and a half hours labour not supplied. Plaintiff contended that it had been the custom of the building trade to pay this grinding money, and it was a custom that was reasonable, for when a man had worked upon a job for some time his tools got out of order, and it was necessary that he should put them straight before going to work at another job. If the man discharged himself, then he could not be entitled to grinding money, but if he were discharged he would be. It was stated, in answer to the Court, that some firms paid this grinding money un ler the hour system, and others refused. ilia Honour was clearly of opinion that, as a matter of law, the plaintiff nail not recover this money. It had been proved to the Court that the men might terminate an engagement at any period of the day, and it would be most unreason able to allow grinding money when the hiring was au hourly one. Plaintiff must be nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —William Sibley, a cab driver, who was charged a few dEys ago with robbing a female named Margaret Thomp son of a purse containing 255., while in a cab in Swallow-street, Regent-street, and also with cruelty to a horse, was again brought before Mr. Knox, the prisoner having been remanded for the attendance of the female, and that the owner of the horse might be summoned for sending the horse out in an unfit state for work. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence, and an officer of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals watched the case. The charge of robbery against the driver broke down ; the female, who was in a state of intoxica tion on the morning in question, not being able to state positively whether she was robbed in the cab at the time the constable (Allwood, 186 C) saw the prisoner in the cab with the female, or at an earlier hour. The charge of cruelty against the owner, Mr. Thomas Hall, a cab proprietor, and the prisoner Sibley, was then gone into, when Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, gave a description of the shocking condition of the horse, which was blind of both eyes, weak, had several sores, and bore marks of recent severe flogging, there being several cuts on the horse's legs, with blood on them. Mr. Sayer, on the part of the owner of the horse, said he was willing to have the horse killed. Mr. Knox said that on the last occasion some gutta percha thongs found on the prisoner were produced. It was a shocking thing to find a poor blind old horse put into a vehiele and whipped with thongs like those produced. On the understanding that the horse was to be destroyed, he would not in flict imprisonment on the owner, but he would have to pay a fine of 5.5 or a mouth, and the driver would be discharged from the felony, but be com mitted for a month with hard labour for the cruelty.

A SERIOUS " PROFESSIONAL" Loss.--A young woman, giving the name of Eliza Smith, was charged with felony. Isaiah James Longstreet, who described himself as a gymnastic performer, stated that he was ful filling an engagement at the Standard Music Hall, Pimlico, last night. After he had finished his per formance he came down stairs with a bag containing his professional wardrobe, and placed it on a barrel in front of the bar, while he spoke to Mr. Brown, the landlord, behind the bar. When he had done so and turned round he found that the bag containing the bundle was gone. Mr. Selfe—What time was it ? Prosecutor—lt was very late. I had not finished in the room until half -past 11, and then I had to dress. Mine was the last perform wee of the evening. Mr. Sulk—They keep the best to the last, I sup pose. What was there in the bag? Prosecutor—All my professional costume, tights, slippers, paint, a belt, prepared chalk, and every thing for the use of the business. Two or three witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was at the bar of the Standard last night, and shortly afterwards was traced home with the bag. She was committed for six weeks. THE BANDA AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY.— The distribution of the Banda and Kirwoe prize money was commenced on Thursday at Chelsea Hospital and at the India Office. Among the sums paid at Chelsea was the first instalment due to the executors of the late Lord Clyde of .£21.,600 ; it is expected that the second instalment will amount to betwoeu .Cl,OOO and £1,500. The first payment on account of General Whitlock's shares amounts to about £3,000; the second will be between £•1,000 and £3,000.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.) FLORENCE, Oct. 23. In accordance with an invitation placarded about _ . . the streets yesterday some 200 or 300 persons as sembled yesterday at it a.m. upon the Piazza della Signoria for a manifestation. Although it was raining heavily the numbers present were soon swelled by many inquisitive people. Cries of " Viva Rpna Capitole !" " Gari bahli alla Capitole !" were frequently uttered, and the meeting at last resolved itself into a procession, marching with a flag to the Ministry of the lute- Here a deputation, with an address demand- nor. ing Rome for the Italian capital, waited upon Signor Rattazzi. The Minister replied that the sentiments of the Government would be found in the Official Gazette, with which answer his visitors did not seem particularly pleased. Rejoined by the deputation, the procession marched to a house in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella Nuova, when a halt was called, and loud shouts of " Viva Garibaldi I" testified to a know ledge of at least some of the party that the General was to be found within. Garibaldi, in fact, pre sently came out upon the balcony, and made the following speech:— it Italians, you see me once more among you. I am about to unite all my efforts with yours to crown finally the work of our country's redemption, and to prove to the world that we have no need of foreign tutelage. " With the fraternal aid of the army, the people will soon enter into possession of that Roman land which has only been too long sullied by the foreigner. As for me, I guarantee to you that I shall do my duty unto death. I close by reminding you that your brothers are at this moment fighting in Rome against the sbirri of the Pope. Do not forget them. Brave people, I salute you." Very shortly afterwards the General left for Florence by a special train. It is rumoured, but the statement must be received with caution, that during his stay in Florence Garibaldi had an inter view with the President of the Council, some say even with the King. It is added that his object in going to the frontier is to persuade the volunteers to return home. If so, it is at any rate strongly at variance with his speeches and proclamations. Im mediately after the General's departure two placards were put in circulation, one signed by Garibaldi, the other by the Central Aid Committee. The first runs thus : " Italians, our brothers are raising barricades at Rome, and since last night they have been fighting against the sbirri of the Papal tyranny, Italy hopes from us that each man will do his duty. " GARIBALDI." The Central Aid Committees proclamation says : "Italians,—Rome has revolted. Our brothers are fighting to restore to Italy the capital which reactionary conspiracy disputes with her. Shall we abandon her? No, despite the threatening bra vado of Foreign Governments who insult our brave army by imposing upon the country the cowardly retraction of its right. Do not hesitate. The hour awaited for ages has struck. To Rome ! to Rome ! Let this be our only cry and object ! " TIIE CENTRAL CO3I3IITTEE." The lliforma publishes the following as the text of 12,000 Roman Senators to the Senator of Rome, the authenticity of which has been denied : "To His Excellency, Marquis Cavaletti, Senator of Rome. " Your Excellency,—The situation of the country has become so serious that it no longer offers guarantees to arty one. Imprisonments and domi ciliary visits continue, the threat of a - state of siege, the preparations of the military force, in place of calming, only increase the irritation of a people already tried by so many hardships. The numerous insurrectionary proclamations published within the last few days, and above all, that of the 16th inst., cause everyone to foresee immi nent revolt. "The undersigned citizens, exceeding 12,000 in number, ardently desirous of preserving Rome from great calamities, addro., , s themselves in full confi dence to your Excellency, in order that, rendering yourself the interpreter of the wishes of the popu lation to his Holiness, you may implore an effica cious remedy, which, henceforth, could only b e found in an intervention by the regular troops of the kingdom of Italy. " Your Excellency, the citizens of Rome, of whom you are the legitimate representative towards the Holy Father, feel certain that you will be wil ling to interpose, iu the universal interest of the country, which never has failed and never will fail in respect towards the common Father of the Faithful whose authority will be weakened by bloodshed, from which the Church recoils.
