ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, In the general discount market to-day there is a good demand for money, but the lowest rate for the best three months' bills is 4 per cent., although exceptional transactions are reported in shorter dated paper at 37 per cent. A further sum of £198,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, bat £B,OOO was with drawn. There was a slight upward movement in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to L 705,427 and the exports to £495,000. A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders has been convened for Wednesday next, to consider what steps should be taken to obtain payment of their bonds and coupons, in " hard dollars," in.- stead of in the depreciated American papers now illegally tendered. Two O'CLOCK. There is not the slightest alteration of importance to report in the position of affairs in the English Stock Market. Business, both for investment and on speculation, is very much curtailed, and Consols remain at 934 for money, and 934 4 for the account.

MANCRESTER, Oct. 16.—The unexpected pause in the Liverpool market yesterday, when only 5,000 bales were sold, and prices receded, according to some reports, as much as id to id per lb. produced a corresponding reaction here, and buyers of both yarns and cloths, who had hesitated to give the extraordinary. advance in price which was esta blished on Tuesday, almost withdrew from the market. This morning the yarn market has almost recovered, how ever, the firmness it lost yesterday. The amount of business has been small, but spinners are asking 2d per lb. more than the current rates of last Friday, and although buyers hang back a good deal, they manifest no disposition to make any concession. The market closes very firm, and, in some description of yarn, with an upward tendency. The cloth market has also somewhat recovered from the reactionary feeling of yesterday, owing to prices having again advanced at Liverpool, but still the sudden check has had an effect on buyers, and they appear to be unwilling to operate. The check was so sudden and unexpected that it seems to have shaken their confidence considerably in recent advances. Manufacturers, however, are very firm, and many of them are in a position, owing to freedom from stock and heavy pre engagements, to be indiffereni about pressing for fresh orders. In fact, at the heavy cost of cotton yarn, they are compelled to insist upon the advanced rates of Tuesday, which they are now asking. The letters to hand from India give a somewhat flat account of the market there, but tele grams are to h an d w i t h l ater advices (dated Bombay, Sept. 2 , and C a l cutta, Sept. 28), which are of a much mcre en couragingti character, a n d s p ea k o f a b etter demand, eve- YY for wide shi r ti ngs, at hi gher prices. So far they do e i re , l B : 4, ta to have produced much effect here, owing to the elotr day mentioned above, and the business done to have beim epo s rnerally is reported email.

NOTTINGHAM, 16th,--There Was only a mo derate attend ance on 'Change to-day, and advanced rates being as k e d buyers operated very slowly. For low numbers 2d. per lb. more money was demanded than on Tuesday, H osiery yarns also met a slow sale in consequence of the recent rise; an advance of 2s. 61. per bundle of 10Ib, has taken place during the past week. The demand for brown net is still very flat at unremunerative prices. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOO&S. Paid. Closing Business Share Railways. i Price. I dens. Bir., Wol., and Str.

TELE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 17, 1831 POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. ROBBING OF MESSRS, ROUTLEDGE.—Two men named Banks and Lacy, were placed at the bar charged with stealing seven books, the property of Messrs. Routledgo. The property stolen consisted of some copies of two works entitled, " Our Garden Friends and Foes" and Grant's "Rob Roy." The books were seen in the shop window of Mr. Holder, a bookseller of No. 311, Strand, by Mr. Routledge, and that gentleman feeling cer tain the books had been surreptitiously taken from his premises, spoke to the shopkeeper, and the explanations not being sufficient he was given into custody, and charged at Guildhall with the unlawful possession of the books. Circumstances, however, led to the 'withdrawal of the charges against Holder, and ho was admitted as a witness in the case, which was sent by the City magistrates to Bow street Police-court, as the offence was committed within the jurisdiction of the court. William Thomas Holder said he had for many years carried on the business of a bookseller in the Strand. He had on one or two occasions bought books of Banks, but never imagined they were stolen. The seven books in question he also bought of him, and he had previously purchased of him two copies of Craig's Dictionary. Tho books were brought to his shop by Lacy. who received the money for them. In cross-examination he said he had carried on business in the Strand, and had known Banks for 12 years. He would swear he had never had dealings with him as long as 22 months ago; hut it might be nine. He was charged at Guildhall with receiving the books knowing them to be stolen ; but the charge was withdrawn on his telling the solicitor for the prosecution that he could point out the men of whom he had purchased the books. He never skid he had bought the books of Mr. Vickers. He told Mr. Rout- ledge he bought the books of Simpkin and Marshall. He told the lie in this case because he was taken b) surprise. He could not say he told a lie to answer a certain purpose, but because he was, as he had said, in the first instance, taken by surp r i se . Wh en L ac y b roug ht th e b o ok s , h e sa id he had brought them from Banks. Lacy said he was to have 30s. He paid him a pound on the occasion, and ten shillings the next day. Mr. George Routledge, of No. 2, Farringdon-street, said he knew the prisoner Banks by sight, and also Lacy by his being in the service of Messrs. Hanbury, the bookbinders who did work fur his house. None of the books involved in the present charge were bound by that firm. He first issued the copies of Grant's " Rob Roy" to the trade last Wednes day week. "The Garden Friends" have been published some three or four weeks. On Saturday, the 10th of October, he saw three copies of "Rob Roy" and the same number of " Garden Friends" in the shop window of Mr. Holder. He did not take any notice, but on Monday he communicated with the police. He, however, before he spoke to the police, went to the witness Holder's shop, and on that occasion he saw four volumes of " Rob Roy." He sp .ke to Holder on the subject, and afterwards he accompanied Jarvis, the police officer, to his shop, where he gave him into custody for the unlawful possession of the books. He was taken to Guildhall Police Court but discharged, and as they were coming down to this court on the 13th inst., Holder pointed out Lacy, who wars then in one of Messrs. Han bury's carts, opposite his (witness's) door, as the person of whom he had received the books. He had taken stock dun. ing the last two days of the " Garden Friends," and he found eight copies deficient, and of "Rob Roy" twenty copies were missing. The books produced were his property, and had been taken from his premises without his consent. The value of them was £2 2s. 6d. Police-constable Ackrill, of the F division, said on Tues day last he stopped the prisoner Banks in Clare-market. He saw him go into a public-house there, with a parcel, and come out without it. When he asked him what he had left, he said "nothing," but afterwards he admitted he had left three books. He then took him into custody. The books were 3 vols. entitled " Romola." City police. constable Jarvis said—On Tuesday last he had Holder in custody outside Messrs. Routledge's premises, when he pointed out Lacy as the man who had brought him the four "Rob Roy's." He was then in one of Han bury's carts. He told him the charge, when he said he had received the books from a man in The Row, but that he did not enter the name or address. The prisoners were remanded for a week, bail being re fused. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE REGENT-STREET BEGGING NUISANCE.—A batch of boys and girls were brought up charged with begging in Regent-street, and annoying ladies leaving and entering carriages. Bunco, 78 C (a plain-clothes officer, and who is specially employed for the purpose, owing to the many complaints received from the shopkeepers and visitors to the street of the nuisance) proved seeing the prisoners,with several other boys and girls—about 13 altogether—begging of persons in Regent-street, and he succeeded in taking the prisoners into custody. The prisoners were committed for a month each, A tall powerful fellow, named George Johnson, was next charged with begging, the officer who took him into cus tody finding 3s. 6d. upon him. He was also committed for a month. It appears that as soon as a carriage draws up in front of a shop in Regent-street, the occupants are beset by a crowd of ragged boys and girls,mostly with brooms in their hands. The boys and girls pretend that their purpose is to open the carriage doors, but it is in reality to beg, and it is with diffi culty at that time that persons are enabled to reach the shops or their carriages. FUNERAL OP LORD LYNDHURST. This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, the remains of the venerable Lord Lyndhurst were removed from his man sion in George-street, Hanover-square, and deposited, with out ostentation and with very little ceremony, in a humble grave in Highgate Cemetery. It was one of his lordship's last requests that his funeral should be as simple as possible, and his wish was rigidly adhered to. Last night, at 12 o'clock, Lady Lyndhurst took a parting look at her deceased husband in the presence of Dr. Thomas Hawke,ly, who attended him with the greatest care throughout his lengthened illness, and at six o'clock this morning the coffin was finally fastened down. At nine o'clock the mourners and those who were to take part in the funeral ceremony arrived in George-street , There were present Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Beckett, sons-in law of the deceased; Mr. Clarke, Mr. Barlow, and Mr. Ogden, executors; Mr. Winslow, the Rev. Henry Howarth, 8.D., rector of St. George's, Hanover-square ; Dr. Hawkesly, the Earl of Ellenborough, Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, M.P., and numerous other friends. Mr. Du Cane, M.P., a son-in•law of lord Lyndhurst, was prevented from attending in consequence of severe indisposition. The deceased was placed in a leaden coffin. The coffin consisted of oak, covered with black Genoa velvet, su periorly finished with gilt nails, massive gothic gilt handles, each surmounted with a baron's coronet. On the lid was a brass plate with this inscription :—John Singleton Copley, Baron Lyndhurst, Privy Councillor, F.R.S., died October 12, 1862, "in his 92d year." Above that was a shield with his arms and crest engraved; the arms argent, a cross, sable within a border, azure, charged with eight escallops of the field; supporters two eagles proper, col lared, or pendant therefrom, an escutcheon argent charged with a cross as in the arms—motto," Ultra pergere." The funeral procession consisted of four mutes centred by a squire mounted with the plume, the hearse, which was not the old-fashioned box, carriage, but of an improved character with open sides, drawn by four horses plumed and draped; displaying open 'medallions and fringed with silver, :with a cornet on each side and at the end, the coffin being partly visible and covered with a rich pauldron of velvet. The hearse was followed by four mourning coaches, drawn by two horses draped and plumed. In the first carriage were Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Beckett, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Ogden. In the second were Mr. Wins low, the Rev. Henry Howarth, 8.D., and Dr. Hawkesly. The third carriage contained the Earl of Ellenborough, General Forrester, M.P., the Hon. Spencer H, Walpole, M.P., and Mr. Barlow. In the fourth carriage were Mr. Chandler, his lordship's house steward, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Grist, confidential servants. Four private family car riages followed, and then came the carriages of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cam bridge, Lady Glengall, Lady Anne Beckett, and others of the nobility and gentry who were personally acquainted with the deceased lord. Starting from George-street, which was well filled with people anxious to witness the proceedings, the procession moved along the south of Hanover-square, Regent-street, Langham-place, Portland-place, Park-crescent, Albany street, Park-street, and through Kentish-town to High gate-hill. On reaching the Cemetery the procession was met by the Rev. Arthur Heber Scholefield, M.A., of Trinity College, Oxford, who commenced the solemn funeral ser vice appointed by the Church. On leaving the chapel the body was deposited in a brick vault, and the remainder of the service having been performed, the mourners returned to town. The funeral arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Pike, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, assisted by Messrs. Gersten, of Welbeck-street, who supplied all the appointments. Everything was conducted with the utmost decorum, MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN. The supply of fruit at our market was short, but that of vegetables large.

Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, is at present daily engaged at Portsmouth Dockyard in inves tigating the dockyard system of account-keeping and the mode of carrying out work in the different deparments of the yard. The system of keeping the accounts of the yard may certainly be very much simplified, and there is no doubt Mr. Stansfeld will, in the end, have reason to be satisfied with the reforms he may effect, He will, however, be much less at home in dealing with the great question of labour in the yard. It certainly is a matter of surprise to those who frequently visit our great national dockyards that so little work is done in them. The visitor hears of thousands of persons employed, and yet sees no work executed to be compared with what he would expect in a private yard of the same magnitude. This is precisely the situation at present in Portsmouth Dockyard. Repairs are being made (a work taken in hand certainly nc,t a day too soon), tram ways laid down, sheds, stores, and workshops cleansed and whitewashed, ornamental grass plots formed, trees planted, and hideous old figure heads stuck up in different parts of the yard. There are men at work on the Royal Sovereign certainly, but she is not more than three parts completed, and 35 or more hands have been taken off her during the past week, on the plea that employment cannot be found for them on board. There is a delay in the delivery of the armour plates for her turrets, the officials say, and therefore the men are sent from her to other work. However the case may lie between the Admiralty officials and the contractors, certain it is that now, instead of having the Royal Sovereign afloat by Christmas, as was looked forward to as a certainty a month or two back, that event is post poned until March next. It is impossible to look at the Royal Sovereign without coming to the conclusion that while the vast resources and labour of Portsmouth yard have been so long employed, and are still employed, in simply converting a broadside into a turret ship, Mr. Laird's yard at Birken head—a comparatively petty establishment—turned out three new turret ships. Can Mr Stansfeld grapple with this labour question satisfactorily ? If he deals with it on the broad basis of an en , ire reform of the whole system, he may achieve, possibly, a satisfactory result, but if he has only power to deal with it on the grcund of retrenchment, he will fail utterly, as others have failed before him. The dockyard s ystem, like the Admiralty system, is rotten to the core, and to effect any beneficial reform the existing state of things must be entirely swept away, and a new one substituted. It is admitted now by all parties, except among those person ally interested, that no permanent reform or good of any ki n d can be effected with the Board of Admiralty until it ceases to be a political board, closely connected with the Ministry of the day. A similar radical change must take place in our dockyards before any permanent good in them can be effected. Take the shipwrights as an example of the employed skilled labour of the yards. A man receives 4s. 6d per day he works in a gang of 20, superintended by a leading hand who has over him an inspector, a foreman being over all. Now, one man in this 20 may not earn more that 3'. per day while the man working next to him may earn O s ., yet both are paid alike. A discretionary power of m easuring work is v ested in the master shipwright, but is never exercised ex cep t when extra hands are placed on a s hip and the work is h urr i ed. In such cases, if a man is f oun d to have shirked hi s work he is mulcted in his pay ac cording to the established sca l e of prices. It is needless to sa y that if a man is found to have done more than his re quired quantity of wo r k, h e is not paid the extra money for it. It certainly seems that here a system of payment accord ing to the work done could be introduced with advantage. i t m ight be so, but not under the present "system." The ~ leading hand," who has the mast immediate charge of the gang of 20 men, is but one of themselves, and receives only 6d. per day over the pay of the men under him. Another aspect from which the employment of labour in our yards may be viewed is in the repairs of ships in commission, say the Channel Fleet. The fleet, or a part, as is at present the ca se, arrives at Spithead, and every ship requires repairs of some kind or other which must be carried out by the labourers at e the o Two, perh a p s, of the ships go into harbour, and thed y a t l i essary work goes on without any loss of time y w hat "routine" and " system " impose. The ships a t Spithead must remain ther e , f or the moorings in the bn harbour are taken up by harbour ships or useless hulks, and therefore there is no room for ships that have come in from sea want i n g repairs, however urgently their services may be required, even if an enemy were off in the channel. All the ships, however, must be repaired, and so men and materials are sent off to Spithead. The amount of daily work which can be done by 200 workmen under such circumstances is very sma ll indeed, as every C ommander of a ship that has lain at Spithead "under repairs" can well remember to his i n fi,ite disgust. When a war comes upon us with any great naval Power, our " heads of departments" say we shall clear off all the old craft up the harbour, even if we shoved them on the mud, and remove the present craft off the dockyard mooringsi higher up, so th a t t h e meetings off the yard w a vailable for a dozen ship s t o come in to from sea and lie b i ea e t during their repairs when not in dock. Now, must w u hy shweould i t not th l i for s a be w r a r done in ti mes of peace Why " comes upon u s " t o prov id e the n ecessary the du e reception of our ships in harbour on coming in suddenly f rom sea for repairs or refi wa means n ti ? Why, i n f ac t, s h ou ld we continue squandering so t many _ thousands annually in this one it em a l one when the remedy is so shipwrightshave o bvious ? Ship s and • re f err ed to thus in connexion with Mr. Staufeld's visit to Portsmouth yard simply because they are naturally the most prominent features in our dockyard s , b ut there is no single department in those establishments b u t w h at cries out loudly for reform. A change is going on i n P ortsmouth yard, which has perhaps a ttracted much notic e , f rom the fact of its oc curring during M r ' Stansfeld 's presence at the y ar d. Th e steam f ac t or y is quietly absorbi ng the steam reserve. Whether this process will be finally and successfully accom plished, and, if so, whether the Ad m i ra l ty will sanction and confirm it, yet remains to be ascertain e d, A letter received at Plymouth f rom a naval officer at J am aica states that on the 24th of S eptember there were in screw Port Royal hat ho ur her Majesty's steamship Aboukir, 86, Commodore Peter Cracroft, c.B . ; the screw s t eam frigate Aria , dne 26, Capt.

During his 30 years' absence he had prospered in Australia, and was a large landed pro prietor there. lie had heard of his wife's second marriage, but as the fault was his he never thought of returning to England until he heard of the death of the second husband. To make amends for his former neglect of his wife—for not withstanding her second marriage she was still his wife— he behaved in the most handsome manner to all her chil dren, gave them costly outfits, and has taken them and the wife to his early affections out with him to the land of his adoption. The wife, who has thus after an absence of more than 30 years been restored to her position, is now about 70 years of age; and so recent is their departure from this port, that the vessel in which they sailed is not yet out of the Channel,—Liveumq Mercury.

" This reply fully justifies, in fact, the frequent alppre.. hensions that Prussia will not seriously join in the retorts.i ng onlyt e t n o d impedeenoie s oh t a f e her v C e o l n o p f e m d e e r n a t t e o s f t h b e u t r t e ht d a er a s l h c e o w n s i t l ti t t r i i o v: by laying down unacceptable conditions. "According to our convictions, the three cardinal points to the preliminary acceptance of which the royal Cot:rt of Prussia subordinate even its resolution to treat concerning a reform of the Confederation, are not only quite incom patible with the maintenance of the Federal principle in Germany, but it seems to us very signifioant that Prus sia should be opposed to the precise propositions of her Confederates' general pretensions, whose vague form and omissions do not admit of a definite and precise conception. It would be an easy, but by no means pleasant or consoling task, to demonstrate positively, and one by one, the omis sions as well as the flagrant contradictions in which the Ministers of Prussia have involved themselves in the report of the 15th of this month. " Nevertheless, I think the German Governments can not forego that task after having been formally summoned by the Prussian Government, however extraordinary the proceeding may have been, to take into deliberation a report addressed to the King by his Ministry. " The only circumstances that we note with satisfaction is that the King and his Ministers have not thought it be coming to reiterate directly and expressly, in face of the German Sovereigns, the reproaeh formulated in a previous Ministerial report, to the effect that the dignity and power of Prussia were wounded by the Frankfort propositions. " For the present I can have no other intention than to give you my first impressions and to express only a provi. sional appreciation relative to the steps which the partici pants in the reforming work at Frankfort will feel them.- selves prompted to take under existing circumstances. " In my opinion there is ground for drawing up in a tone of Federal friendship a radical refutation of the Prussian stipulations, and to transmit it to the Cabinet of Berlin in the shape of identical despatches from all the Governments intetested in the act of reform, with an urgent declare tion of the hope that Prussia will not insist upon her un acceptable preliminary conditions, but that she will con sent to treat on the basis of the propositions already as. sented to by 24 Germanic Governments. " The declaration that it is impossible that those propo. sitions should remain without effect would be quite in place in the said identical despatches. "Moreover, there would be a reason for inviting some of the Courts, which, while they refused to accept the act of reform in its entirety, nevertheless participated in the Congress at Frankfort in a spirit favourable to its principal object, especially the Courts of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and of Saxe-Weimar, to join in this step, in so far at least at; they shall deem it compatible with their views. . .

WESTMINSTER. POVERTY AND CRlME.—Jeremiah Conley, a boy, 15 years of age, was charged with being found in the area of a gentleman's house for the purpose of committing a felony. Michael Dwyer, 317 B, said that in consequence of some thing told him at 7 o'clock that morn 4 ng he got over the railings of the house 2]9, Brompton-road, and there found the prisoner in the coal cellar, and took him into custody. Witness then aroused the inmates of the house, and they then discovered that some victuals had been missed from the safe in the front area. Mr. Selfe (to prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner—l was passing the area tois morning when see ing the safe door standing open, and being very hungry, I got over the railings to got something to eat, and had not been there long when the constable came and took me.

Prisoner—Through want. I could not get work, and so was obliged to come away from my home. My mother could not support me. Mr. Selfe—How long is that ago ? Prisoner—Two months.

Mr. Selfe said he would like to see the boy's mother, and remanded him till Monday for that purpose. THAMES. ' ALLEGED SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— Thomas Macarthy, an Irishman, about 48 years of age, who is well known to the police, described as a commission agent, and who has been several times convicted of smug gling, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on a warrant, charged with swindling. About the latter end of August last the prisoner called on Mr, John Gluck, a clothier in Langley-place, Commer cial-road East, and said he wanted to purchase a suit of clothes all one colour. Mr. Gluck could not supply him with the suit he required of one colour, and the prisoner looked at some patterns of cloth exhibited by the travellers to the respectable firm of Tappin and Co., woollen drapers, in Bishopsgate-street, who happened to be in the shop. The prisoner selected a pattern, and asked how much the suit would be, to which Mr. Gluck replied three guineas. The The prisoner said he would give no more than £3, which offer was accepted, and the prisoner was measured for the clothes and waited on Mr. Gluck on the following Friday, and fitted on the coat, of which he approved, and was informed the clothes would be ready for him next day. The prosecutor left his house at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon and did not return until 12. In his absence the prisoner obtained the suit of clothes of Mr. Gluck's shop man by stratagem. He produced four shares of the Bulkely Coal, Iron, Stone, and Fire-clay Company (Limited) Carnarvonshire, capital £20,000, in 20,000 shares of £1 each, office Falcon-court, Fleet-street, and said he had met Mr. Gluck in the street, and that he had purchased the shares of him for £B, that he was to receive the clothes in part payment and the other £5 on the following Monday morn. tug. There was a large red seal with the name of the com pany on each share or scrip, and the documents had been printed from a finely engraved an d well executed copper plate. On these shares £1 was stated to have been paid on each, and the sum of £5 purported to have been paid on the fourth. Mr. Gluck's shopman, on the faith of the prisoner's representations, delivered the clothes to him. Mr. Gluck, when he-returned home, received the worthless documents, and c , the following Monday and on other days went to the offices of the Bulkely Coal, Iron, Stone, and Fire clay Company, in Falcon-court, Fleet-street, but could never find any one there. He believed the company was a myth. He never met the prisoner in the street and agreed to give him £8 for the shares, and he had ascertained that the prisoner was a common stoindler. Mr. Partridge was of opinion that this was not a false pretence within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. The prisoner had told a lie, but that did not amount to a false pretence. The clothes were made and parted with by the shopman without any conditions. The prisoner must be discharged, 503 83 9 651 1111 11 71k )11k 45 4k 1021 101 f 461 7k 131 30 1288 551 1011 i 93i 6 TRUIT„ BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. _ PLYMOUTH, Saturday Morning.
