MONEY 'IARKET AN 1, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocic. Yesterday was a close holiday at Liverpool in the Cotton and Share Markets. Most of the speculators in stocks appear to be going on the idea that the Bank of England will to-morrow advance the minimum rate of discount to 6 per cent., although some think that the sales of Consols by the Bank would allow of this mea sure being postponed. We need, perhaps, only remark that if the intent of an advanced charge is to restore greater ease ultimately the sooner it is established the better, although the process is not one which, by a large number of practical and ex perienced men, is believed to be effectual. The following remarks from the Bankers' Circular touch upon this question : "If it were considered necessary to stop the drain of bullion by raising the rate of discount from 5i to 5 per cent., the same reasons may be urged for advancing it to si, 6, or 7 per cent. This is the established theory of the advocates of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. The foreign ex changes and gold bullion only were made the basis of English credit ; and how have they served us ? They have both failed us in the hour of need. Those who require bullion laugh such a theory to scorn; and while the Bank is spreading dismay throughout the country by raising the charge for the use of its notes, its bullion is withdrawn by millions. As a commercial people, should we not ask where this is to end ? There is nothing extraordinary in as suming that the Bank may yet lose several millions more of its gold—and what then ? Are we to keep blundering about foreign exchanges ? Mr. Gilbert said, in his evidence before the committee of 1841, that as soon as ever this country was engaged in war the Bank ought to suspend cash payments. Whether it will be driven to such an expedient will be determined by the duration of the war ; for, although Sebastopol has been partly taken, we have only yet raised our net annual revenue from ordinary sources to the extent of 8,000,0001., or about equal to one-sixth of the sum required annually. It is therefore a question of no small importance to ask, what step will the Bank take when it cannot further raise its rate of discount ?" Great dissatisfaction has been expressed by many of the shareholders of East Indian shares, in conse quence of a call made upon the Fortension Shares. It appears, by the date of a circular shown us by one party interested, that the Directors of this Company passed a resolution to make this call as recently as the 2d inst., and the circular upon the subject is dated that day. In the case in question it was not received until last night, by the 8 o'clock I post, and yet the amount has to be paid on or S before/the Ist November. If it were the deliberate 3 5 intention of the managers of this undertaking in 2 the present state of the money market to depress 1 0 the value of the property, they could scarcely have t taken a more e ff ec t ua l course . Th e s h ares are of ?,1 201. each, and the call upon them is equal to 25 per cent. At least it is felt that two or three 9 months should have been given, and it would be 3 1. quite competent for the directors t o a ll ow th ose 11 who were willing, to pay up in advance, and merely E to charge 5 per cent. interest for calls unpaid after . 3 : the Ist D ecem b er next, w hi c h wou l d b e early enough, considering the brief notice given. 21 No improvement has occurred in the English gt Stock Market this morning, sales being renewed St almost as soon as business commenced, and in this 10 way we get down or 4 per cent. almost daily in :0 the quotations. It is not probable that in the : ( 0 :1 present temper of the speculators there are many to of them dealing for a rise in prices, although the contango might appear to favour that impression. The great weight that depresses the market is the it.. selling by the Bank of England, and by other large establishments which can at present find more pro- k &able employment for their capital. Hereafter 3 ;• should any decided case occur there would have , 0 to be great promptitude exercised on the part of the bankers to get back their stock, but the profits made in the interim would cover any loss on that score. St. Consols have been 86a I, and since 861 , for transfer, and 86i to 87, being now 861 for the November account. Exchequer Bills are 63. dis count, and East India 2s. to 3s. discount. Bank Stock for account is at 2121. Exchequer Bonds are 98i to In the Foreign Market there is comparative steadiness in all except Turkish bonds, which are scarcely so high, being 83 to 84k, including the dividend. The Scrip has been down to 3i and 41 discount, presenting a remarkable contrast to all the other foreign investment. Spanish 3 per Cents, have been dealt in at 371 to 37.1, and the Deferred are 19k. Brazilian Old Bonds have rea lised 981. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 931 to The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ; Mexi can, 21k to 211; Peruvian, 73 to 75 ; ditto Three per Cents., 53 to 55; Portuguese Four per Cents., 4 3 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 96 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred, 371 to 38 ; ditto Three per Cents., 19 to 19i- ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 41 to 5. Railway Shares are very fairly supported, with very moderate transactions. North Western, South Western, Eastern Counties, North Eastern, and South Western have been chiefly dealt in. The foreign lines were steady, and in the French there is some improvement, owing to yesterday's rise at Paris. The Foreign Mines are dull, the Banks firm, and Canada Land rather stiffer.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE POLICE,—This day Fre derick Harrison, Alfred Fountain, and James Crook, young men of respectable appearance, were charged before Mr. Long with assaulting Policeman Frances, 72 D, and two other police-constables. It appeared that about two o'cloc,k this morning Po liceman Frances was in Paddington-street, when he heard the prisoners shouting at the top of their voice,. He went up to them and observed that they were all under the influence of liquor. He told them not to make such a disturbance at that time of the morning, and endeavoured to persuade them to go home. Crook exclaimed, " You are not in Hyde-park now, and are not going to do as .you like with us." Complainant said, "Never mind about Hyde-park now ;go home." Crook then gave him a violent blow on the side of his head, which knocked his hat off. Complainant seized hold of him, upon which be was assaulted by the other prisoners, who succeeded in taking his prisoner away from him. Complainant went in pursuit, assisted by other constables, when they were all taken into custody and conveyed to the station. Gt. Went Yk. New. & Berw. Y. & N M D 0.. , Do S.

Count Do This morning, shortly after six o'clock, an accident of an alarming character occurred near College-street, Crucifix-lane, Tooley-street, to the early Crystal Palace train. It appears that as the men were engaged this morning in getting ready the first train for the Crystal Palace, it was found necessary to shift a number of car riages from one line to the other, which intersect one another near this spot, and that by some mistake on the part of the switchman in not turning the points the train, when formed, instead of running on to the main line to come up to the departure platform, went on to the shunting terminating against the wail of the arch abutting on College-street. On the engine -driver and stoker seeing the imminent danger to which they were exposed they jumped off the engine ; the consequence of which was that the engine ran against the wall, scattering the materials in every direc tion, and precipitating the tender and one of the car riages into the street below, to the consternation of the surrounding inhabitants, wheze they now remain, blocking up the thoroughfare. Fortunately no lives were lost. a* ....- . • • L. &N.W Do Gt Northn Lancash & Yorke]. T. Brassey M.

It appeared that about half-past ten o'clock the previ ous evening thegandlord was attempting to clear his tap room of some men who were fighting. The prisoner resisted, and scratched his face, and when taken into custody by the policeman she bit his hand, and it re quired the exertions of three constables to take her to the station-house.

His Royal Highness and party were received at the entrance of the Town Hall by the Mayor, J. A. Tobin, Esq., who led the illustrious stranger up the grand stair case to the eastern drawing-room, whore the ad,),....., of the corporation was presented. The members of the town council followed, and when all were assembled, The Mayor proceeded to say it afforded him much pleasure, as the representative of half-a-million of people, inhabitants ofthe borough of Liverpool, toreceive and wel come se illustrious and distinguished a visitor. Tne pleasure was, in a great degree, enhanced, when he (the mayor) remembered that in receiving his Royal High ness, he was welcoming one who was not less distin guished by illustrious birth and connection than by per sonal merit. (Loud cheers.) The Pleaiure was also enhanced by the opportunity occurring on the day set apart by the people of Liverpool for rejoicing on ac count of the great victories with which it has pleased Divine Providence to bless the arms of the allies. This was also doubly a pleasure, when he recalled to mind the noble manner in which his Royal Highness led his division in the arduous efforts of the Crimean cam paign, and more especially the gallant and distinguished manner in which he had led his brave comrades in arras at the great victories in which he had borne so noble a part. The people of Liverpool felt proud of the honour of welcoming so gallant and distinguished an officer; and he might assure his Royal Highness, that, although they were deeply interested in a desire for a return of the blessings of peace, still they were one and all united in the sentiment which proclaimed that there should be no peace till the objects for which the war bad been undertaken should be fully attained. He (the mayor) would now call upon the Recorder to read the address which it was the wish of the corporation should be pre sented to his Royal Highness. The Recorder then read the following address : "TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DOER. OF CAMBRIDGE, E.G., K.P., K.C.8., &c. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the bo rough of Liverpool, avail ourselves of this opportunity of offering to your Royal Highness our earnest congratula tions upon your visit to this town, together with an as surance of the respectful esteem and attachment enter tained towards yourself by the inhabitants of this borough generally. "This tribute is due not only to your rank and station, but to your personal exertions in the public service. We have seen with no common interest a Prince of the Blood Royal embark in an arduous campaign, and share in the toils and perils of our soldiers, and with them at Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman nobly sustaining the honour of our common country. " Happily, it is now our privilege to address your Royal Highness soon after another signaltriumph has been granted to the arms of the allies in the fall of Sebastopol, and et a time when everything seems to promise a favourable issue to the war undertaken by France and England, with no ob ject of personal aggrandisement, but solely to curb the aggressive ambition of a great empire, and to secure the independence of surrounding nations. " We hope that your Royal Highnesi will, in inspecting the shipping, docks, and maritime arrangements of the port of Liverpool, not fail to perceive that industry and enterprise on the banks of the Mersey are still widely ex tending themselves, and contributing largely to the general prosperity of the British empire. " Given under the Common Seal of the Borough of Liverpool, this 9th day of October, 1855. (Signed) " J. A.. TOBIN." The Recorder having finished reading the address, the Mayor presented it to the Royal visitor. ! His Royal Highness, in reply, said—lt is with feel- i logs of the deepest satisfaction that at your invitation I visit this great and important and loyal borough. The honour is still more gratifying to me from the circum stance that you have associated my name with that of the gallant army which has, by its deeds of bravery and daring, rendered itself worthy cf all the honour we can bestow on it If in my connection with that army I have been so fortunate as to obtain your approbation, I am on that account also much gratified. That is an honour of which a soldier may be justly proud. (Cheers.) It affords me very great satisfaction to have visited this great and important mercantile borough ; and once more I must express my gratitude for the very flattering mark of your consideration which you have just bestowed on me. THE SILK HEALTH OP L(INDoN DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar - -Gen;are Report.) London is healthier than it was in September. No death from cholera Lim been registereu in tne 61,.6 'ended on Saturday, the 6th of October, bnt the deaths Irpm diarrhoea were 51. The deaths from all causes were 951 —namely, 260 from zymotic diseases, 210 from cancer, consumption, and other constitutional diseases, 320 from diseases of the brain, lungs, and other organs, 113 from infantile diseases and old age, and 24 from va rious kinds of violence. Of 5 sudden deaths the causes were unascertained, and of 19 other deaths the causes were not specified. A coachman, aged 65, died in Ara'rylebone Works house. His death is ascribed to destitution. The barometer continued low during the whole week, and the reading was, on the average, 29.343 i nches. The I mean temperature of the air was 56 2 deg. ; the meen dew point was 52.1 deg. ; the mean temperature of the Thames was 59.9 deg. The temperature of the air was 3.4 deg. above the average. The wind blew from the south-west, at velocities varying from 50 to 190 miles a day. 1.38 inch of rain fell in the seven days. The week was windy, warm, and rainy. 13,042 persons died in London during the 13 weeks that ended on the 29th of September, s $ that the deaths during the quarter at the rate of 1,003 a-week. This presents a favourable contrast to the state of the publics health in the corresponding quarter of last year, when 24,870 deaths, or 1,913 weekly, on an average, were re gistered in London. The decrease has been chiefly in the diseases of the zymotic class, which were fatal in 14,633 cases, includ ing 9.708 of cholera, 2,069 diarrhce i , iu the 13 summer weeks of 1854 ; and in 3,661 cases in the 13 summer weeks of the pre sent year, when 106 deaths were by cholera, 1,258 by diarrhoea. 196 persons, chiefly children, died of small-pox, 107 of measles, 534 of scarlatina, 389 of hopping-cough, 677 of typhus and other,fevers. 192 deaths were referred to dropsy, 287 to cancer, 1,645 to consumption. Among the diseases of particular organs are 300 deaths by apoplexy, 235 by paralysis, 88 by epilepsy, 54 by delirium tremens, 531 by convulsions, 475 by di , eases of the heart and great blood-vessels, 491 by bronchitis, 492 by pneumonia, 141 by teething, and 122 by di-eases of toe liver. Of the deaths by violence in London, 16 were by Poison, 33 by burns and scalds, 19 by hanging, 21 by suffocation, 101 by drowning, 158 by fractures and con tusions, and 17 by wounds. 2,224 deaths, or one in six of the total number, took place in public institutions ; namely,-1,191 in work houses, 744 in civil hospitals, 73 in military and naval hospitals, 78 in military and naval asy'ums, 14 in hospi tals and asylums for foreigners, .14 in lying-in hospitals (7 women, 7 children), 94 in lunatic asylums, and 16 in 14 prisons. 3,069 of the persons who died in London were males of the age of 20 and upwards ; and of that number 83 were in GovernmEnt and local offices, 191 in the army or navy, 85 in or connected subordinately with the learned professions; 38 were engaged in literature, the fine arts, and the sciences ; 363 were in clothing, enter taining., and serving c l aya ; 167 were engaged in com merce, 343 in carrying, 75 in cultivating the land, 33 were occupied about animals, 523 on art and mechanic productions, 146 worked and dealt in animal substances, 393 i❑ vegetable substances, 214 in minerals and metals, 215 were returned as labourers, without defining the branch of labour ; and 142 as persons of rank or pro perty not in any office or prufession. The ship-of-the-line Lous XIV. arrived at Brest on the sth instant, coming from Toulon. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —Yesterday afternoon Mr. Brent, deputy coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the Green Man Inn, Ealing, to inquire touching and concerning the deaths of Charles and Alfred Miller, twin brothers, and aged respectively 14, who were killed, under very dreadful circumstances, on the Great Western Railway, near the Ealing station, on Monday morning, by the down express train. The inquiry having been formally opened the evidence was proceeded with, and detailed the nature of the occurrence as already reported. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE VALUE OF LAND IN THE ClTY.—Yesterday the materials of six houses, the property of the worshipfnl Company of Drapers, situated in Mark-lane, near the Corn-market, were put up to auction by Messrs. Pullen and Son, for the purpose of being cleared away, and of of having chambers and offices erected on the site. They have been built about 150 years. The ground on which they stand is let at 6s. Bd. a foot, the entire sum for which the whole area let exceeding the rack rent which was paid for them collectively to the company. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE TOWER.—Yesterday afternoon considerable excitetnent was occasioned in the Tower and its neighbourhood by the report that one of the employes had dropped down dead while engaged in the storehouse. From inquiries made on the spot it appears that a man named King, employed in the establishment for ninny years as a packer, had suddenly dropped down while crossing the pavement to reach the Storekeeper's de partment. He was immediately picked up, and sti mulants administered. Medical attendance was also on the spot in a few minutes, but the unfortunate man never spike again. An inquest will be held on the body this day. The deceased had been for many years in the ems ployment of the Ordnance, and was much respected. THE CASE OF NATHANIEL WILLIAMS.—A letter has beer. received in Worcester from Mr. Waddington, the Under-Secreta r y o f State , in which he says, tt e e directed by S ec retary so:George Gr ey to a cqua i nt the parties interested that after an inqu i ry int o the nrcum stances attending the case of Nathaniel Williams, ams, be has thought it right to communicate to the con v i c t' ng gistrates his opinion that the conviction of Williams for cutting some wheat belonging to himself upon the Lord's day was not warranted by the law. A litigation is likely to arise out o f the bankruptcy of S tra b a n and Co., for the p ropr i etorship of certain bonds for and the fi b r i n : e rn l d a e n s son yt years ago to the the m of n 13,5001.; and one for 3,500/., a d vanced by the late Sir John Paul to his own broth er -i n-law, the late Lord Ravensworth. In the year 1847 , these bonds, with some minor ones, General , advancedc were assigned to Mrs. Gore, the authoress, as security fur a mina of 23,0001. Consols, sold out of the funds by her trustee, the late Sir John Paul, on the plea of ob taining better interest by investment in Exchequer Bills ; but in reality to be appropriated to the use of the firm. Letters dated November, 1847, from Sir John and his partners, explaining to Mrs. Gore (who was then on the continent) the nature of the transaction and the validity of the bonds, have been laid before the Bankruptcy Court, in consequence of the official assignee having applied for the cession of these securities. The case ap pears to be one of peculiar hardship. ST. PANCRAS AND MARYLEISONE PREVENTIVE AND REFORMATORY INSTITUTION.--Yesterday afternoon the foundation-stone of a large and capacious building, intended as a Preventive and Reformatory Institution for the parishes of St. Pancras and Marylebone, was laid by the Right Hon. Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., in the presence of a number of the clergy and gentry and a vast concourse of person s . The interried institution is situate in the rear of the premises in the New-road, near Gower-street, which have for some time past been tem. psrar ly occupied for the same praiseworthy object, and it is to be constructed from designs which have been fur nished by Mr. Arthur John Baker, of Burton -crescent, the architect. VISITATION OF THE CLERGY OF SODTHWARIC.—YeE terday morning a visitation of the clergy of the archdea conry of Surrey was held at the parish church of St. Saviour's, Southwark. There were present the Rev. J. E. Gibson, rector of Bermondsey ; the Rev. E. Blick, rector of Rotherbithe ; the Rev. Joseph Brown, rector of Christ Church ; the Rev. S. Smith, incumbent of St. George's, Camberwell, and some other clergymen ; but the attendance was by no means numerous, as the bishop had appointed the same day for the consecration of a neighbouring church, and as it was known that the archdeacon would not deliver a charge to the clergy on account of his delicate state of health. Prayers were read by the Rev. S. B:ckerdike, and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Wm. Curling, chaplain of .SL Saviour',:, after which the cl erg y re p a i re d t o the "Lag: Chapel," w h ere th eir names were ca ll e d over, Dr, Swabey acting fo r th e c h ance ll or o f t h e di o cese, who w eugaged elsewhere. The address was enclosed in a handsome cylindrical box, made of ebony, elegantly mounted with silver. It was embellished with engraved representations of the landing stage, the Custom-house, the Town Hall, and St. George's Hall ; and on it was also engraved the fol lowing inscription : "This box, cont doing the address to his Royal Highness George Duke of Cambridge, K G., K.P., and G.C.8., was presented by the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Liverpool, in the county palatine of Lancaster. October IX., MDCCCLV." This very elegant box was made by Mr. Mayor, Lord street ; by whom also was prepared the illumin•ited copy of the address which was enclosed in the box, and pre sented to his Royal Highness. When the ceremony of the presentation had been completed, the mayor led his Royal Highness though the small into the great ball room, and there introduced him to a ❑umber of ladies ; after which his Royal High ness stepped out upon the balcony, which commands a fine view of the Exchange area, At this time there were at least 5,000 persons assembled, and his appear ance gave rise to a simultaneous burst of cheering. This balcony was first erected for the reception of the Queen when she was here four years ago, and, strange enough, her visit to Liverpool occurred on the same day in October. Ui like, however, that visit of royalty, when it rained incessantly, to-day, although a little cloudy, has been fine, and there is every appear ance of the weather keeping up for the dinner and the grand ball this evening at the Town Hall. The docks throughout their great extent on no former occasion ever presented to the eye a spectacle so pleasing or magnificent. The mile , along the banks of the Mer sey over which these vast receptacles for the shipping representing the trade of all countries of the world ex tend, was one vast line of variegated hues. Along the w hole extent fluttered in the breeze the flags of all na tions, with the sole exception of the double-headed eagle, Towering over dock walls and warehousss the gay streamers, as seen from the river, formed the base of a huge breastwork of bright tints, rising with the high ground of the town, and terminating with the tower and spires of the churches in the back ground. In the openings from the river, and lookieg north and south through th e d oc k s, t h e eye was d a zz el with the mass of b r illi an t co l ours that le f t little of every la s or rigging visible. Th e great l an di ng s tage and structure on the margin of the river was la ie d g e itaheletua league f . of, with emble ms o f t h e un it y o f the couc . ) tonrm engulf civilised l t i a s y e d the u t r i e d p e of Supporting,e. nbarbarismorthern a n d each other, floated th e s tandards of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey. As a whole there is no doubt whatever that the dis play in and along the dock to-day far exceeded any for mer demonstration. Nor wal the i river itself nnattrac jos reposing upo.nits bosom, or departing tive. Fine as at all times is the iroad Mersey, with the from a long voyage, t or returnmg to-day there was superadded display of dressing that f m or an a y f l o a r r e g i e gn ah p i or the scene, and attracted s . umbers of admiring much increased the beauty . of spectators from the busy streets of Liverpool, and crowded the ferry-boats to Birkenhead, which, in Adis' with the boroughthrongs it hopes soon to become syrup , more closely connected with, put f..rth all its energies t o look as gay and b e as joyous. The display was ex cellentS and the ornaments in many instances elegant. Not the least striking in the evening, when th e illumi nations begin, will be th e r i ver face of Woodside Ferry. A colossal crown in gas, with a star underneath, will throw a luminous halo across the river towards Liverpool, that will be of the most attractive character. The town of Liverpool itself was most beautifully and picturesquely decorated, there was not a street but what had its numerous flags of all nations, gaily floating in the breeze; there were streamers arranged on the house tops, which waved majestically, and banners stretching across a whole street, giving the whole a most interesting and beauteous effect. The Town Hall and the Exchange-build- ! ings had numerous flags, and the Custom-house, Peat office, &c., were similarly attired. The houses in the dif ferent streets had multifarious mottoes , and devices on their f ron t, such as " Ho nour t o th e Brave," " Wel come H. R. 11.," "Sebastopol," "Swope is avenged," " The Allies f or ever ," an d s i m il ar other expressions of national f ee li ng . B an d s o f music paraded the SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) RAILWAYS.

The Assistant-Judge thought there was not sufficien proof, and the conviction was quashed upon form. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—{This Day.) GUILDHALL, Emanuel de Cortazar and Miguel Masep, the two Spaniards who have been so many times examined re lative to their obtaining two sums of money, amounting to 1,8001., by means of forged letters of credit, were again brought up for final examination. Mr. Mullens appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. Mr. James Holder deponed that he went to Paris on the 6th September. He went to the office of the Prefect of the Police, and there saw the parcel of papers now produced, addressed, " Mon. Miguel Masep, Poste re 'dant°, Paris," and containing 4 1001. Bank of England notes, 4 do., of 501. each, 5 do., of 201. each, 19 of Si. each of the Bank of France for 1,00.0 f each ; one of the National Bank of Bolgium for 400 f. each ; also another envelope with the same address, containing 50 Lank notes of 101. each. There was also another enve lope addressed to M. Pedro Regalado, Poste restante, Paris, containing 6 foreign bills of exchange ; another envelope similarly addressed, containing a passport dated Valencia, granted to Miguel Martinez, containing 4 letters of credit in the same name, dated Valencia, and 8 foreign bills of exchange, &o. He knew the prisoner Masip, and identified the writing on the envelopes as his. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner-r-He had only seen the prisoner Masip write once. It was at the London Coffee-house. Mr. Gardner, of the circulation department of the General Post-office, deposed to the envelopes produced being posted at the General Post-office, after 7 o'clock, on the 16th of August. They were too late for the mail of that day, bat were forwarded to Paris by the following mail, on the 18th, and, by the French post marks, arrived at Paris on the 19tb. Mr. Mullen said he had now completed the case, and asked fora committal of both prisoners. Mr. Wontner addressed the bench, contending the evidence was not sufficient against Masep. It was true both prisoners had travelled from Belgium together, and were residing together in this country, which was ex plained by Masep being unable to speak English or French, and Cortazar acting as his interpreter. It was the latter who presented the letter said to be forged, and any participation of Masep in their proceeds had not been proved. One of the witnesses had spoken to his belief that Masep was present when Cortazar changed one of the notes, which might be consistent with Masep's innocence. There was a third person connected with this transaction, named Ragaldo, and the fact of Masep addressing the envelopes was probably that of a friend rather than a participator in the proceeds. Mr. Alderman Finnis said he considered there was sufficient evidence against Masep to justify his commit ting him with the other prisoner for trial. The prisoners were then formally committed. BOW-STREET. ALLEGED ROBBERY.—This mornings very fashionably dressed woman, who gave the name of Ann Hammond, was placed at the bar charged with robbery. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a foreign gentle. man, it appeared that, on the evening of Monday week, he met the woman at the bar in the neighbourhood of the Strand, and, having had a slight conversation with her, he allowed her to take his arm, and they walked for some distance together. When they had reached Newcastle-street, in the Strand, she stopped op posite a house in that street and then again entered into conversation. At this moment the door was opened by a person, and during the passing out of this person, the prisoner, he alleged, picked his pocket of a purse con taining tw o so v e r e igns, a h a lf- sov ereign, twenty shilli ngs in silver, a n d a diamond s t u d w orth nine pounds. Sh e immediately made off, a n d he bad not been a bl e to trace h er un t i l la s t n i g ht, w hen he again met her in the Strand, when he asked what she had done with his purse, and told her that if she would give him the ticket of th e s t u d, if sh e h a d p a wned it, she mi g h t k eep the purse and money ; but if she did not restore the stud he should give her into custody. She told him she knew nothing about his purse, and he then called a policeman, and she was conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, put a num ber of questions t) the prosecutor, with a view of show ing that the purse might have been taken by the man who passed out of the house in the doorway of which the prosecutor was with the woman to whom he was talking. With respect to the prisoner at the bar he (Mr. Lewis) felt that it was a case of mistaken identity, or else the purse had been taken by some other person. The woman at the bar was well known, and had she committed the robbery she would have kept out of the way. Th le magistrate remanded the prisoner till Tuesday SOUTHWARK. CHAP.GE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. — Henry Lighe , a respect able-looking young man, was brought bef ore M r. A'Beekett for final examination, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr. William Reeves Cooper, Stones-end, Borough. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been nearly four years in his service, and it was his duty to deliver goods to the various customers and receive the money, which he ought to pay over to witness or the book-keeper every night. Latterly he h a d reason to suspect his honesty, which induced him to go round to several of his customers, when he found that the pri soner bad received money to a considerable amount. He consequently gave him into custody. Sarah Taylor, a young female in the service of Mrs. Graham, of Salter'e•hall-court, said her mistress dealt with the prosecutor, and the prisoner had been for some time in the habit of bringing goods to the house and re ceiving the money. Oa the 9th of July last witness paid the prisoner the sum of 41. Bs., and he gave her the re ceipt produced. _ _ Maria Letch, a servant in Mrs. Butler's employ, of 46, Trinity-square, said the prisoner brought goods from the prosecutor to their house, and on the let of Septem ber she paid him a bill amounting to 6s. 6d., and on the 15th of September she also paid him 6s. 2d., and he re ceipted the bills produced. Mr. Cooper said he had examiced the books and no entry of the payment had been made. There were other accounts to a large amount, but witness had not brought the witnesses, as he understood three cases would be sufficient to go before a jury.

THE SHIP " CATHERINE PEMBERTON."—SEAMEN'S WAGES.—This morning, while Mr. Yardley was hearing the night. charges, a gentleman, who bad some papers in his hand, applied on behalf of Captain George T. Ovendon, the master of the ship Catherine Pemberton, on whom 9 orders were served for the payment of wages last night, for permission to pay the men at the Shipping Office, before the Shipping master. Mr. Yardley said this was a most improper time to make such an application—there was a prisoner in the dock. He had been hearing applications for hal.-an hour, and the gentleman should have got into the wit ness box 10 minutes ago. The gentleman—The matter is pressing. We wish to pay the men before the Shipping -master at once, and obtain the orders of discharge and the signature of the men to the usual release. Mr. Yardley said he would not give his sanction to anything of the kind. He made the orders on the captain of the ship, after due proof of the service of the summons. The case was out of the jurisdiction of the shipping-master, and the money must be paid to an officer of the court. If that was not done he should seize the ship. He asked who bad the original orders, copies of which hid been served en the captain. Taplin, 234 IC, a police-constable, attached to the court, replied—l have them, sir. Mr. Yardley—Then enforce them. The captain's agent said that several of the crew were paid at the Shipping-office yesterday. The captain waited for the other men, who were at that court, from two till half-past four o'clock, but they did not come. Mr. Yardley—They were here, giving evidence, and supporting their claims. The summonses were taken qut Saturday, and the crew were discharged on the 6th instant. They ought to have been paid before. The applicant—Then you will not sanction the pay. merit of the wages at the Shipping-office Mr. Yardley—Certainly not. The orders must be discharged in the regular legal way. The wages, amounting to 300/. (with the costs), were then paid to Taplin. ROBBERY IN THE ST. KATHERINE DOCK.—George le Roy, a labourer in the employ of the St. Katherine Dock Company, was before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing two quart bottles of rum from the dock. Henry Pope, a gate-keeper, in the employ of the St. Katherine Dock Company, said the prisoner was leav ing the dock at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and ob serving him rather bulky he stopped him, and found a bottle of rum in each of his trousers pocket. He asked the prisoner where he obtained them, and the prisoner said he had been at work among the rums in the eastern area of the dock, and a man named Hag gerty gave him the two bottles of rum to carry out of the dock, which Haggerty denied. The prisoner repeated the statement he made to the officer. Mr. Yardley said if another man had given the pri soner the rum he knew well he had no right to receive it. .The prisoner would not be employed in the St. Katherine Dock or any other dock again, and the sen• - - tence upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to Lard labour for one calendar month.

PRICE OF GOLD.--The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per mills premium (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 . 32 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 . 35, it follows that gold is about 0 . 12 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.5,1 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.6, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent, dearer in London than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 109 k per cent. ; and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.30 per cent, in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Portsmouth harbour and roadsteads are getting a busy look again with the rapidly-accumulating returns of the members of the Baltic fleet. The steam troop- s hip Simoom has been greatly improved, and her speed in. creased, it is estimated, two and a half or three knots. The Simoom is wanted to embark upwards of 1,000 troops immediately.

FIRE AT MAlDSTONE.—Yesterday morning, between four and five o'clock, an alarming fire was discovered at the Sbip, an extensive public-house, situate at Gabriel 'a hill, Maidstone. For some time the greatest fears were entertained for the safety cf the i n mates, but it wap eventually ascertained that, after much difficulty, th ey had escaped. Several horses which were stabled there were also fortunately extricated: Too much praise can not be bestowed upon the soldier!, who carne d own in numbers, for their unceasing exertions in preserving an area in which the firemen and others of their comrades exerted themselves. The fire continued bu rn i ng about an hour, completely gutting the premises. The cause is unknown. meePtgrZig I I itg iikey pre ,l "of stall sit 4 e t yet bel the 100 100 100 20 50 100 100 20 :IGN. 19 3 9j 8 82 li 61. i 4 45 i 0, 0
