ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCA, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In all departments of business in the City there has been a fair attendance, but business generally has remained quiet.

HEALTH OF THE NAVY.—A large blue-book of 365 pages was issued from the Queen's printing-office yes terday on the health of the navy for the year 1864. A minute record is given of the number of vessels and mean force, the daily loss of service from each disease, the par ticular diseases and the numbers invalided in and from the Home, Mediterranean, North American and West Indian, South-east Coast of Amepica, Pacific, West Coast of Africa, Cape of Good Hope and East Indian, China and Australian stations, as well as the daily loss of service from sickness in, and those invalided from, the irregular force. The two special subjects of interest contained in this report aro the outbreak of yellow fever at Nassau and Bermuda during the summer of 1864, and the destruction of Her Majesty's ship Bombay by fire on the south-east coast of America, which latter event alone increased the death rate in the total force by 1.7 per 1,000. A detailed account of the Ber muda epidemic is given, being for the most part compiled from particulars rendered by the medical officers of Her Majesty's ship Terror, and from a rodort furnished by Assistant-Surgeon James E. Milne, M. 8., who was on extra duty at the Naval Hospital, Bermuda, during the prevalence of the epidemic. The report says that "the highly infectious nature of yellow fever was abundantly proved in the Bermuda epidemic of 1864—medical officers, nurses, and washer:wouie❑ (t he latter coloured) all suffered soverely." Seventy cases occurred at this time on the Terror, and 37 Meatdeaths are recorded as having occurred among the sufferers from that ship, though many of these fatal cases occurred in the persons of men attached to the dock yard. Itappears that, a 6 compared with the previous year, there was a fractional increase in the total ratio of invalid ing in the navy, and the death rate was increased by 2.7 per 1,000 of moan force, 1.7 of which was, however, as above mentioned, attributable to the loss of life from the burning of the Bombay, and •7 is referable to the mortality occasioned by the outbreak of yellow fever at Bermuda. It is, therefore, remarked that "the sanitary condition of the service generally may be considered to have been very satis factory." TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GER MAN FORT.RESSES. The fortress of Mayence, by the laying of a cable under the Rhine, has just boon connected with the telegraphic network which placos all the fortressos of the Rhine in communication with Berlin, or in case o necessity with the Commander-in-Chief of a Prussian army.

In most of the country markets held on Saturday only moderato supplies of wheat were brought forward. The trade wai by no means active—nevertheless, in some in-- stances, prices advanced is to 2s per quarter. All kinds of spring corn moved off freely, at full quotations. Flour ruled about stationary. On the Continent wheat has become less active. In tho United States both wheat and flour continue to fluctuate in prices. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lou don last week amounted to 33,?50 qrs wheat, 3,719 barley, 40,992 oats, 40 beaus, 7,610 linseed, 6,520 rapeseed, 5,716 Indian corn, 377 sundries; 3,912 sacks, and 9,213 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise, and by land carriage, were only moderate. At the commencement of business factors demanded an ad vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of is to 2s per quarter. The demand. however, was inactive, and the actual rise in prices was about is per quarter for picked samples. There was a fair inquiry for most descriptions of foreign wheat at an iniprovemeut in value of is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sale at the late advance. The supply of both English and foreign barley was limited. Sales progressed slowly, nevertheless late rates were well supported. We have to roport a slow inquiry for most descriptions of malt at about stationary prices. The supply was sea sonably good. Although the supply was good oats moved off freely, and the quotations had an upward tendency. There was only a moderate supply for beans, yet prices wers well supported. Peas were quito as dear as last week, with a very limited quantity on offor. Rye and Indian corn were vory firm. Tho supply of the former was trifling ; of the latter, tolerably good. Both English and foreign flour was inactive, at last week's currency. Seeds and cakes supported former terms. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were less extensive than on this day fortnight ; but their general quality was tolerably good. For nearly all kinds the demand ruled steady at an advance in the quota tions of 2d per 81bs. Tho top figure was 5s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,700 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 570 various breeds; and from Ireland, 230 oxen, cows, &c. The condition of the latter portion of the supply wee very inferior. The supply of English sheep was very moderate, both as regards number and quality. On the whole there was a fair average business doing in all breeds, at an improve ment in value of 20 per 81bs. The best Downs and half breds changed hands at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs. The sale for calves was steady, at about last week's currency—viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81hs. The supply was very moderate. . _ There was a fair inquiry for pigs ; at previous quotations.

The October session of the Central Criminal Court commenced to-day. The calendar contains the names of 108 persons for trial. There is only one case of wilful murder, that of Rose Matthews, a girl only 19 years, who is accused of destroying the life of her child by cutting its throat, and whose trial was postponed from the September session on the ground that evidence could be brought forward to show that the accused was in such a state of mind at the time the act was committed as not to be re sponsible for her actions. There is a serious charge against a married woman named Sarah Raeburn, of having attempted to murder her child by throwing it into a quantity of lime and water, with the in tention of suffocating it ; and there is another charge of a similar nature against a prisoner named James Green, who was formerly a police-constable, the charge being that of attempting to murder his wife by shooting her. There are three very important commercial cases that were specially postponed to this session that will have to be disposed of. The first is the case of Mr. Thos. Edgeley, who for many years carried on business as a merchant in the City of London, and who is charged with having obtained more than £lOO,OOO from the late Leeds Bank by means of forgery and false pretences. This case, from the former position of the accused, and the large amount of money which he is alleged to have fraudulently obtained, which is stated to have been the immediate cause of the stoppage of the bank in question, creates a great deal of interest in commer cial circles, and the trial is expected to occupy a con siderable time, special counsel having been retained both for the prosecution and the defence. Another case, of the same character, is that of a prisoner named John William llurst, who was clerk to a stockbroking firm in the City, and who is accused of robbing his employers to the amount of £13,000. The third case of this kind is the charge against two gentlemen named Grubb and Robinson, who formerly carried on an extensive business as ship brokers, and who are accused of having unlawfully appropriated to their own use the sum of £2,000 which they had received on account of insurances effected upon a vessel. Among the other cases of public interest that will have to be disposed of at this session is that of Thomas Ellis, alias Morgan, the sham detective, who appears to have carried on a most extraordinary sysum of fraud. There is also the case of the fashionable swindler, who re. presented herself as the llon. Geraldine Meurice, and also as Lady Meurice, and who contrived by her specious representations to plunder some of the principal West-end tradesmen of valuable property to an enormous amount.

The Special Commission for the trial of the Fenian prisoners charged with the murder of Police sergeant Brett, at Manchester, on the 18th of September last, was opened on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Justice Mellor drove up to the Assize Courts in the carriage of the High Sheriff a few minutes before four o'clock. Mr. Justice Blackburn had not reached Manchester, but was expected by an early train. A crowd of people had assembled in the vicinity of the court, but the attendance inside was not large. Mr. Justice Mellor came upon the bench fully robed, and not in civilian attire as on ordinary occasions. There were some of the magistrates of the visiting committee present, in cluding Mr. William Rayner Wood and Mr. Hib bert, with a rather stronger force of county police than usual, but in no other respect was there a de parture from the course adopted at the opening of other assizes. The reading of the Commission occupied only a few minutes, and the Court then adjourned till Monday (this day). Mr. W. P. Roberts received a final answer -from the Home-office on Saturday evening. After his latest published letter to Mr. Secretary Hardy he telegraphed to the press on Saturday morning as follows : " This morning brings me letter from the Trea sury Solicitor, with list of 25 additional witnesses, none of whom were ever heard of before, to give evidende against Allen and others. It is altogether impossible that proper defence can be made without time for inquiry and consultation with prisoners, no two of whom can be seen at the same time. The supposed evidence, corresponding with what these new witnesses would have said before the magis trates, should have been sent to me at least a fort night ago—as, indeed, was promised when the case was before the magistrates. This course is always adopted in such cases. I have telegraphed the Home Secretary that the prisoners in iy not t e tried till as long after Monday as can be given, and that the supposed evidence may be sent me directly." The answer from the Home Secretary, received by telegram on Saturday evening, was as follows : " I cannot interfere in any way with the opening of the Commission. lam informed that it is not necessary, but common as a matter of fairness, to give the names of new witnesses who may possibly be called. This has been done as soon as was prac ticable. Your application by letter that the Go vernment should bear the expenses of the defence cannot be entertained." The following is the list of counsel actually retained by the Government to conduct the prosecution : The Attorney-General, Sir J. B. Karslake ; Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. Sowler, Q.C., Mr. Hannen, and Mr. Higgin. During Saturday Mr. Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Digby Seymour were communi cated with on behalf of the prisoners, and an answer was received on behalf of those gentlemen that one of them would reach Manchester on Saturday night, and the other yesterday. Mr. Ernest Jones and Mr. Cottingham will also hold briefs for the defence. DEATH OF MR. CHARLES W. PACKE, M.P.- Last evening, shortly before 9 o'clock, Mr. O. W. Packe, M.P. for South Leicestershire, died at his residence, Rich mond-terrace, Whitehall. For some months past his ill ness—dropsy— was such that his nearest family connec tions had no hope of his ultimate recovery, and latterly he had been in a weak and hopeless condition. The late hon. member was a Conservative in politics, and for the 30 years ho had been in the House of Commons (ho was elected member for the southern division of Leicester in 1836) he generally supported the present leader of the House of Commons, but occasionally supported the late Lord Pal merston, like other members of his party. Ho was a ma gistrate and deputy-lieutenant for the county of Leicester, and colonel of the Leicestershire Yeomanry. lie was the eldest son of the late Mr. Charles James l'acko, of Prost wold-hall, Leicestershire, by Penelope, oldest daughter of the late Mr. Richard D uwiale, of Blyth-hall, Warwickshire, and married Kitty Jenkyn, only daughter of Mr. Thomas Host, and heiress of Mr. Jenkyn, It is said that one of the Siamese Ambassadors, on going home from Ifis Eerop3au visit, made an elaborate report on all ho bad seen, including the music ho had heard i❑ the West. Ile was very little impressed by the music, save and except that which ho said was "produced by a great trunk set upon legs." "A woman," ho wrote, "sits in front of this, and, tickling a sort of tail it has with her toe, produces a variety of sounds by boating rapidly with her fingers on a number of little bits of ivory in front of it 1" Stichis a Siamese description of our piano forte !—Mis.sical Standard.

What may be appropriately termed the last legitimate meeting of the season has just been concluded at New market, and never under more disastrous circumstances to backers, in fact the reverses they must have met with during the last three days have boon sufficient to break the Bank of England. In half. a dozen instances at least the winners turned- up in those animals against whom the longest odds were quoted. The Cambridgeshire Stakes was not in exact accordance with my anticipaticns, selecting Laneret I was not disgraced. The Chelmsford Autumnilandicap, decided to-Morrow, reads like a certainty for SACCIIA.ROMETER, and the Nursery Handicap appears to be an equally good thing. for.CAT?.u, Mil as • Mr. Bevill should send a commission into the market to back BESEVOLE NPR, and then I should fancy her chance. LADY SOPHIE ought to give a good account of herself in the Betting Handicap Plato. Oe Wednesday the County Members' Handicap will most likely be won by LAURA, and I see nothing to beat COURT CARD for the Innkeepers' Handicap Plate. The Worcester Autumn Handicap also takes place on Tuesday, and I think Musketeer and Goojerat are most • favourably handicapped. • For the Nursery Plate Handicap my choice is BROADIIOL3I, and if defeated, it may be by MELIORA. The Handicap Plate will go to ULTRUS ; but as regards the Hurdle Race or any other "jumping" events throughout the week, I must decline giving an opinion. The Grand Stand Plate, amongst Wednesday's events, looks in favour of Ihritus . or DUET, and it is any odds on TILE STAR if he should be sent for the Autumn Flying S takes. The Lincoln Autumn Handicap has sixteen acceptances, and of these we may anticipate seeing a moiety at the post., viz., Regalia or Caithness, Breadalbane. Treasure Trove, Silonus, Roquefort, Montgubert, ana Aggravator. Aggravator or Roquefort will most likely furnish the winner. The Blankney Stakes will go to SrEcuLim or VEDA. The Johnstone Plate to REINDEER or AINSLEY, and the Burton Stakes to Bloss's representative, probably VESPASIA.N. Mr. Saville will certainly win the Hainton Stakes, run on Tuesday, if ho starts MOLESKIN for it, and as Bless has five youngsters engaged in the Aveland Nursery Handi cap, none of whom are unfavourably weighted, he ought to make a certainty of that stake, but for my own part I should be content to select VEDA to represent my interests, as she is a first-class two-year-old. The weights for the Liverpool Auturiin Handicap are now before me, but, as the acceptances come out on Tues day, it is useless my going into any analysis of the weights until your next publication. Those which attract my at tention as best in are The Peer, Pirate Chief, and Primate. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE LONDON MARKET.-SATURDAY. This being the last day of the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, the majority of speculators stay to " play the game out," and the clubs were in consequence, but meagrely attended. A few small bats were now and then made on the Liverpool Autumn Cup ; but these are not worth recording, seeing that the acceptances are due to morrow, and also that, as yet, no genuine commission has been thrown into the market.

THE ROMAN QUESTION. [Tho following appeared in our LAtest EliFion of S:ttnr. day evening.] FLORENCE, OCb. 23. In accordance with an invitation placarded about the streets yesterday sonic 200 or 300 persons as sembled yesterday at 11 a.tn. upon the Piazza della Signoria for a manifestation. Although it was raining heavily the niunbers present were soon swelled by many inquisitive people. Cries of " Viva Roma Capitole !" " Gari baldi ally Capitole !" were frequently uttered, and the meeting at. last resolved itself into a procession, marching with a flag to the Ministry of the Inte rior. Here a deputation, with au address demand 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 : " 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 Committee's 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 " THE CENTEAL COMMITTEE." The itiforma 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 any one. Imprisonments and domi ciliary visits continue, the threat of a state of siego, 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, address themselves in full confi dence to your Excellency, in order that, rendering yourself the interpreter of the wishes of the popn lation to his Holiness, you may implore an effica cious remedy, which, henceforth, could only be found in an intervention by the regular troops of the kingdom of Italy. , 1 Your Excellency, the citiz3ns of Rome, of whom you are the legitimate representative towards the Holy Father, feel certain that you will be wit. ling to interpose, in 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. "Your Excellency, the tines are serious, aul some instant arrangement is indispensably neces sary. Every delay would be fatal to us all." [The signatures follow.] The Rifonna also appends a letter with which it states Signor Giraud locum tenens of the office of Senator in the absence of the Marquis Carveletti, accompanied the above address in transmitting it to the Pontiff. It says : " Most Holy Father,—An address has been re ceived by Romati magistrates, said to be furnished with 12,000 signatures. Allusion is made therein to the very serious position of Rome, and arrange ments or measures arc asked for. In the absence of the Senator, the magistracy considers it its duty to lay this address at his Holiness's feet, while per fectly ready to ca-operate in carrying out the reso lutions of its Sovereign.... "F. GIRAUD, "Councillor temporarily fulfilling the duties of the Senator." SMITHFIELD CLUB.—The Ist of November will be the last day on which the hon. secretary of the Smith field Club can receive entries of live stock for the coining show. DARTMOOR PRISON. —The return published by the Directors of Convict Prisons shows that 936 prisoners were disposed of at this establishment during the past year, and that at the end of December there was a total of 58 inmates. The total annual cost of this prison now :tumuli ti to .E 21,563, but a great deal of useful outdoor and.othe labaur is performed, the value of which amounted in 1866 to £2,949. The workmen are divided into gangs of smiths, masons, plarry, cud cart parties, stonecutters, carpenters, painters and rs, plumbers:nil ; and the average earnings vary from Is. to 2s. 81. vir mart per day. The agri cultural gangs performed an amount of work during the past year valued at £1,751. Indoor occupations, as the making of baskets, shoes, mats, &c., realised a total sum of £2,238, the farm produce realising £1,631, and the peat gas works £663. The prisoners at this establishment work 121 hours daily in summer, and 1J hours in winter, the gnater proportion of which is spent •in outdoor labour. It is re ported that the "aid societies" have been specially useful to persons discharged from this prisim, no less than b 5 having derived assistance from them during the past year. The farm work appears to proceed satisfactorily, and at the annual sale for live stock disposed of realised £420, Con victs are sent to this prison if able to perform ascertain amount of outdoor labour, but the district is very bleak and cold, and the medical officer says in his report :—" I would beg to point out the unfitness of this climate for all ad vanced cases of chest disease, as well as for rheumatic cases —many of the former never leaving their beds after their reception, except fur the grav,, or On - the • expiration of their sentence."
