CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE. The Bank of France has raised its rate of dis count from 6 to 7 per cent., and the quotations at Amsterdam has been carried from 4 to 44 per cent. A corresponding announcement is expected in some other continental cities, and considerable interest is felt with regard to the future course of monetary affairs in this country. Many imagine that the ink of E ng l an d di reetors wo uld have altered their 33 regulations to the extent of I per cent. this morn ing, but no such change has occurred, and the dis count marked is now quieter inconsequence. Busi ness, however, is refused, except at full quotations, and discounters show an inclination to await the furth.er progress of events rather than lock up the capital at their command on the present terms, when others of a more remunerative character may shortly prevail. The Bank of England return, for the week ending Wednesday last, is less unfavourable than had been generally predicted. The bullion has been reduced, but there is an increase in the re serves, and the discount operations of the establish ment have been augmented only to a moderate extent.

There is a falling off of £20,000 in the advances, and of £410,000 in the current accounts. The notes in circulation have been aug mented by £520,000, and the Treasury balances £555,500. A large amount of specie has been announced this morning, the La Plata, from the West Indies, having brought £280,000, and the Scotia, from New York, £33,000. During th e l ast few days there has been rather Inure activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. A better inquiry has prevailed for sugar, and prices have again slightly advanced. Coffee, however, has continued inactive. At the public sales of tea, just concluded, full rates were gene rally obtained, while the operations in rice, fruit, spices, and saltpelre, have not led to any material chang e in values. The tallow market has continued dull, and prices for both present and forward de livery have slightly given way, Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Routes Were 67f. 47c. 67f. 45c.—Rather firm. The advance in the rates of discount at Paris and Amsterdam caused the English Stock Market to close yesterlay at a lower range of prices, al though a little more firmness was exhibited at the last moment in consequence of higher prices from the French Bourse. To day a much better feeling prevails, and a few purchases have led to an advance of about 1 per cent., Consols now being 92a I for transfer, and 91,1 1 less the dividend for the account. The Bank of England return has assistedin imparting greater strength to the market The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have been a little flitter at 901 ; Exchequer Bills are about Bs. to 4s, discount ; Indian 5 per Cents 1082+ and the Enfaced ditto, 1051. India Stock is 224. There is a decidedly better feeling in the Foreign Stock Market, and an almost general upward movement has taken place in prices.

In the Railway Share Market business has been dull, and in some instances prices show less firm ness. North-Western and South-Eastern have declined 55.; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin coln, and Midland, 10s.; Caledonian, however, have improved 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain without material alteration. Bank Shares are heavy. Alliance of London and Liverpool have declined to 45 I, and Union of Australia to 561 ; London and Westminster are quoted 79, and London Joint Stock, 36+ 37. In the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora tion shares have receded to 91 10, and International Financial to 9. BRITISH FUNDS —ONE O'CLOCK. Rank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities New 3 per Cent.

Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Rose and Thistle Tavern, Warner road, Camberwell, on the body of Samuel William Hunt, the husband and father of the female and two children who were found dead in a cab, under the territle circumstances already so generally known. Mr. Hubert Wood, solicitor, attended to watch the pro ceedings on the part of the relations of the deceased, and Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, was present by direction of the Commi ss i oners o f P o li ce . The Jury having been sworn, The Coroner said they assembled that morning to in quire into the causes attending the death of William Samuel Hunt, and the questions they would have to consider was, first, whether the deceased died from his own hand, the condition of his mind at the time, and whether he sould be considered in such a state as to be responsible for his own actions. The jury having viewed the body, retuned to the inquest room. The following witnesses were ealiedand examined :7 Inspector Molloy, of the E division, said—Shortly after 10 o'clock on Monday night, in company with Inspector Smith, I went t o A nn ' s C ottage, Warner-roa d, Camber well. We saw no light when we arrived, and then Inspec tor Smith knocked at the door. Not receiving an answer he knocked again. Coroner—Before he knocked the second time was any thing heard within the house ? Witness—No, sir ; but immediately after I heard a noise in the passage. It was a sort of coughing, and as of a parson moving about in the dark. I called Inspector Smith's attention to it, and then he gave a loud knock, and immediately a person inside called out, " Who's there ?" I said, " Open the door, if you please ; we want to speak to you." I heard the chain of the door removed, and the door was opened. There was no light; but I saw a man in his shirt. He said, " Who are you.—tae police ; what do you want and he immediately made towards the stairs. I said " Stop , where are you going ?" He replied, " For a light " Inspector Smith said " I've a light," and he turned on his lamp, saying to the deceased "Where do yon want to go." To which he replied " Upstairs to my bedroom." Coroner—ls the person you have seen dead the same man. Witness—He is. Inspector Smith then preceded de ceased upstairs and I followed. Imm,diately we entered the bedroom deceased sat on the b d and commenced retch ing very much and was sick. He did the same on going upstairs. When he recovered he said, " What do you want with me." I said " Have you read the account of the mur der on Saturday last ?" He replied, Yes, I was reading it this evening." I said, from information we have had, I believe your family is not at home. He said, "That's right; they went to Southampton on Friday." We cau tioned the deceased when he first entered the bedroom, and after I said, "You answer the description," and we must take you into custody on suspicion of being the murderer. He said, " How were they dressed ?" Smith said they wore dark clothing. Deceased replied, "It can't be my family, for they all wore light dresses when they left here." Find ing he continued vomiting, inspector Smith asked him what he had been taking, He said, " I took a small portion of gin, before I went to bed, which I found in a bottle." We then told him he must dress immediately and go with us. He did so ; and on the way to the station he said he hoped it was not his family, but he would not be surprised. His wife led him a wretched life; and the children had told him some time back that one day when they were out for a walk with their mother they met a gentleman, who took them for a ride in a cab; that he was very kind to them, and much like himself, viz., that he wore a moustache. Imme diately on arriving at the station Dr. Puckle was sent for, and immediately attended. Finding the deceased was get ting worse, we sent for Dr. Massey. While Dr. Puckle was attending him he appeared perfectly sensible. The vomit was of a lightish colour. When Dr. Puckle came in he asked him what he had been drinking, and deceased said some gin, upon which the doctor said .' Havn't you been taking something else," he said no. Don't you know me, you attended my wife some time ago. She was lying on a mattress, we had been moving and had not got the furniture into the house. Dr. Puckle said he remembered the cir • cumstance. Deceased then said, " I shall get round directly, my heart is affected and the excitement has caused me to be in this way." At this time he was retching very much. Dr. Puckle attempted to administer an an tidote saying, " take this it will do you good," but ac cording to my mind there was a disinclination to take it as it was all spilt. On the second attempt deceased's head was held back, and the mixture was poured down his throat. There was a slight force required but not much. After a short time deceased said, "I'm dying, let me lie down." He did so, but shortly after he called out, " I'm better now lift me up, I lost my eyesight for a short time and could not see, but now I can see very well." This latter remark was made after he had been assisted up. He attempted to walk about, but he staggered very much, and he was placed in a chair, when be again exclaimed, "I am dying fast." His eyes closed, his head dropped, and he appeared to be unconscious f a short time, but all of a sudden he started on his feet and said, " I want to write something before I die; give me pen, ink, and paper. I hope I shall live to finish it." He then wr to the paper I now hand in. It was read as fol lows :—" Mr. M'Cullocti, pay to my wife £l2O, nue 17th September last, and the remainder due to me." Deceased, after he had done so, said to me " I wish you would take charge of it, as Mr. M'Culloch owes me 18 months' back wages. I wish that and the £lO I have in my pocket to be given to my wife and children, if they are alive." We then assisted him to a chair, when he requested to be placed on the ground as he was dying, and hiter he had been there a short time he again seemed to rally, and said, " I know how she died she took prussic acid." I said, " Your wife ? Where did she get it ?" He replied " I had it in the house—she took it." In a short time after that he expired in an insensible state, I omitted to state until the present moment that when Dr. Puckle first saw deceased he asked what he had been taking, to which he re plied, " I think there was something else in the glass. I believe I have taken aconite." In searching the deceased's house, there is a cupboard in the bedroom in which I found 12 or 141bs. of soap, cut in pieces, and a small bottle con taining a fluid. I handed it to the doctors, who were pre sent. The bottle had neither stopper nor cork. I searched the house carefully to find either, but could not. Coroner—Have you taken any steps to discover whether his family went to Southampton ? Witness—There is no such :street as that to which he had said they had gone. Coroner—After you entered the house had he any oppor tunity of taking anything ? Witness—No ; I am certain he did not. When I entered the room I saw some vomit in the utensil. When he sat down on the bed he cook it up apparently as if he had been using it before. The fluid in the bottle looked to me like a dark kind of oil. I don't know the effluvia of prussic acid, Coroner—What amount of time was there between the first and second knock at the door? Witness—Just sufficient for a person to come to the door. I should say about a minute and a half elapsed before he came down. I don't think he had time to take anything between the interval that elapsed between the knocking and opening of the door. It was impossible for him to have seen us before the door was opened, because we took care to place ourselves in such a position to prevent that. The bed had been used when we saw it. Dr. Puckle said, I practice as a surgeon, and reside at Denmark-hill. Last Monday night I was called to the station-house, at Camberwell-green, a few minutes after eleven o'clock. I there found deceased sitting in a chair. I know him to be a person of the name of Hunt. He was retching violently at the time. His countenance was pallid, the eyes prese nting a remarkable appearance—the pupils very much dilate d. I felt his pulse, w hi c h was scarce l y perceptible. The action of the heart was extremely feeble, but, with the exception of the retching, his breathing was regular. I asked hi m w h at ho had b e en taking, and he said only i some gin. I said you ' ve taken more than that—what is t ? He replied, " No." I put my nose to his mouth, but could not detect any p ar t i • ruler effluvia. The retching was violent and spasmodic, but he did not complain of any sensation at the cheat. I thought he had taken a narcotic irritant poison. I at tempted to administer sulp hate of zinc in water. He ob jected to take it. I said, "Come, come, H unt, you know me, take h." He allowed Lis mouth to be comp l etely filled, but he spat it out again. I had with me a second dose of the emetic, which I took care that he should swallow. Ho did not appear to have the power to resist. The mixture passed easily down his throat. After the eme ti c h e vomited immediately, and then exclaimed, " Oh my heart. " I roused him up to ascertain whether he could stand, but he staggered across the room, almost knocking his head against the wall. He did not seem to have th e p ower to raise his arms. I as ked him again what he had taken, ana he still said only some gin. I a sked him fromwhence he had taken it, and he said from a six ounce bottle. He appeared to doze for a few minutes, when he revived, and said he had had such delightful dreams. I asked him if he had any poison in the house, to which he said, " I procured some prussic acid some time ago, intending to destroy myself. I . walked a b out f or n i g h ts, I felt so miserable. But it is not AII the house now. My wife must have taken it with her when she went into the country on Friday." Some ono asked him if he had taken prussic acid. He said, " No, or I should not have been here now ;" showing his knowledge of the drug. I asked him if he had any other poison, to which he said he had a packet of opium. I again asked him what he had taken, ani he then said, " I may have take n aconite—l think it was." He lived about a quarter of an hour after making that observation.; I have never seen a case of poisoning by aconite, but, from reading, the effects are consistent with those produced by aconite on the human frame. I receiv e d from an officer a bottle, which I produce. It was given to me by Malloy. It contained about two drops of a liquid th e colour of sherry. I have tested it, and have come to the certain conclusion it was aconite. I tasted it, and it produced a complete deadening of the tongue. Aconite is procured from a plant kno wn as monkshood . I have no doubt about the mixture being acronite ; 1.50 of a grain will destroy life in certain animals , but, according to the opinion of Dr. Taylor, ten minims of acronite will produce death in a human being. I have made a p ost-mortem exam ination i of the body in company with Messrs, 11„ Massey an F lower. The examination was made 42 hours after d eat The body was well formed. There was extreme rigidity of the muscles. On opening the head I found the brain healthy, the blood vessels being fuller than usual. The ventricles contained very little fluid, and there was no effusion at the base of the brain. The heart presented a healthy appearance, but the right side was greatly distended, the left side was con. tracted, and did not contain any blood. The struc ture of the heart and lungs were quite healthy. I have analysed the contents of the stomach, and found it to contain aconite in small quantities. I have no doubt that death was produced from that poison. I detected it in large quantities in the vomit. Aconite does not produce immediate prostration. It has not so immediate an effect as prussic acid. By Mr. Herbert Wood—l have known the deceased for some time, but I never noticed anything peculiar in his manner, The Coroner said ho thought upon the subject of the poisonicg it was quite conclusive, and therefore they might well pass to another branch of the case—viz., the motive or state of deceased's mind. The suggestion being assented to Adolphus Orlando Ritchie was then examined. He said —I am in the service of Messrs. Butler and MacCullock, herbalists, druggists, and seedsmen, of Covent-garden market. I know the deceased. He was employed by the firm as traveller and shop assistant. He used to take samples out when he went his journeys. Last Monday afternoon he told me to get some things from the ware house for him. He was then in the shop serving customers. He came about half-past one in the afternoon and remained till half-past seven in the evening. I saw him the whole of that time. I did not notice anything unusual in his appearance or conduct. He told me to get him some oil of juniper, oil, of roses, tincture of aconite, and essential oil of almonds. None of the bottles produced are not those that I gave him. All the bottles were labelled except the aconite. He did not usually require aconite. Two of the bottles were to be sent out to the Waterloo-road, and the aconite and oil of almonds were to be called for. I told him the aconite had no label, and he said he would write ono and place it on the table We do not keep prussic acid i n a pure state. Any article he required would be supplied without the least hesitation. He usually asked for what he required if it was not kept in the shop. This was the case with the aconite. All the goods are kept under lock, the warehousemen keeping the key. The aconite could not have been got without going to the warehouse. We do not sell essential oils re , ail. Our business in those articles is chiefly with chemists. The deceased was not at the shop on Saturday. Mr. Charles M'Culloch said the deceased was in my ser vice. His name was Samuel William Hunt. He had been in our service about three years as traveller. We shall continue the report in our next edition. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, NOV. 12.

WELLINGTON is a remarkable illustration of how toil, responsibility, and the liabilities of fame, may be borne when the moral nature and training are a help instead of a drawback. His strength of will, his power of self-reliance, his simpl ci y of mind, his unconsciousness of d'iubt or scruple, end his very narrowness of political view, in com bination with his military comprehensiveness of knowledge, enabled him to do and live through what would have killed half-a- dozen men of more sensitive fibre, and a more (Aro istical sort of humility. In him, as in LORD CLYDE (who in , gh have lived to the age of Wellington), LORD CoM BERMERE, who is still alive and vigorous at ninety, the French MARSHAL D'ORNANO, who has just died at the age of ninety-two ; LORD SEATON, who has departed this year at the age of eighty-seven ; and SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS, who was a great professional authority and public benefactor till he died two years ago, at eighty-five, we see that the toils of military life, and the gravest re sponsibilities, do not shorten the existence of men consti tutionally adapted to that career. The LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY was past eighty. the present BISHOP OF EXETER is eighty-six, and ARCHBISHOP WHATELY has just departed at seventy-six. Sir DAVID BREWSTER is still active and occupied at eighty-two. The late MR. TOOKE did not puzzle his brain about the Currency too much to be still up to the subject at eighty-six. SIR R. MUR CHISON is past seventy, and so is SIR T. HERSCHEL. METTERNICH was thrust aside because his work was a failure, and not because he was himself incapable of action. NESSELRODE was Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chan cellor of the Empire to successive Czars till he died last year at ninety-two, clear-headed and fall of interest for Russia as he had ever been. LORD LYNDHVRST had some infirmities at ninety -one ; but nobody to the last associated any idea of decrepitude with him,--much less of senile weakness. LORD LYNDHURST was eight years younger at his death ; and we saw in him more of the familiar attri butes of failing executive powers : but he, too, had a clear and calm mind, and a bright interest in the life around him, and at an age when the traditional octogenarian should have been lingering in second childhood. That LORD CAMPBELL should have been hard at work, head and hand, till death fell upon him in his chair, is hardly surprising to those who had long studied his constitution %nd his course. To those who knew his fibre, physical, mental, and moral, the question was whether he would ever die, and why : and if he had lived over a hundred, doing all the work of his particular judgeship or any other, the final surprise would have been,—not that he had lasted so long, bat that he should ever come to a stop. lam myself so tired of reading the incessant remarks—not altogether considerate to LORD PALMERSTON'S own feelings,—on the marvellousness of his being still as clever and serviceable as ever at seventy-nine, that I shall not enlarge upon the case. It speaks for itself ; it may confirm some inferences yielded by the whole class of cases; and it is a fact of strong and peculiar inte rest far beyond the bounds of our own empire ; but it ought not to be considered miraculous by us who saw Nesselrode as he was lost year, and Lyndhurst as he was last month— the one thirteen, and the other twelve years older than Lord Palmerston is now. Two of his political contemporaries remain—one active, the other passive, as far ae the public life is concerned. Lord BROUGHAM is the active one, of course ; and at the recent Social Science Congress he ob served that Lord GLENELG and himself were the only sur vivors of their generation of members of the Speculative Society ; Lord Glenelg is eighty ; and that he should have lived so lo ng i s th e more remarkable from h i s b e i ng a tw i n , the su r vi vor o f hi s twin brother Robert by many years. We do not f orget hi m ; remarkable statesman, but we hear nothing of him. As for Lord B roug h am, he speaks fur himself so abundantly that o re I s h ta im tesm to an, thatwho appears description. at Thereis one m seventy-five, as able as he ever was to guide and shape the fortune of rulers and t • • • heir dominions and people.

In the second chamber was a viper folding round the rock and the cave, and others adorning it with gold, silver, and precious stones. In the third chamber was an eagle with wings and feathers of air; he caused the inside of the cave to be infinite. Around, were numbers of eagle-like men, who built palaces in the immense cliffs.

These two really magnificent volumes are the result of a most happy inspiration. It was a giorious idea to celebrate at once the art and the artist, to com memorate in one charming series of charming biographies---" a linked sweetness long drawn out" —those " Queens of Song" who, in the present and past century, have enraptured and enthralled so ma ny hearts and ears. As we turn over these pages what names,familiar and famous, greet our eyes an dcallupheart-thrilling recollections—Malibran, and Pasta, and Sontag, and Grisi, and the rest of the glorious sisterhood, from Katharine Tofts and Mar garita de L'Epini, the prime donne of 1700, to Miss Louisa Pyne and Madile. Titiens, the fair favourites of 1863. Sach a record must necessarily be inte resting, and, with its stores of anecdotes, must ne cessarily also be most amusing. But these bio graphiesyet higher cl a i m t o our a ttention. 'fiey v are w ha rit e ten in a most charming natural style, and the authoress has displayed a happy power of seizing upon the most prominent characteristics which work the peculiar individualities of the heroines she describes. The hopes and fears, the early pro mise,the rising ambition,the disappointments,and the brilliant triumphs, of these Queens of Song, are described in vivid colours, and are to the full as attractive as a romance. As an evidence of how well the authoress appreciates the task she has undertaken, let us quote from her preface this truth ful enumeration of the dangers and delights of— THE PRIMA. DONNA.. "Her story is often of touching and romantic interest, and her tate points an impressive moral lesson. Gifted with powers designed to delight the world, and, in most instances, combined with personal attractions that mate rially enhance the charms of vocal and histrionic efforts, the debutante emerging from the severe labour of h e r musical studies, en ters at once on the dazzling but dan gerous ac o ordinary aaaofh kind, erfut refined uretria by hs;endued with thesensi bility cultivation of her voice end ear, and often with the strong and wayward im pulses of genius , her first success in a moment transforms the chry.alis into the butterfly, destined to flutter in the blaze of theatrical splendours. Fascinating the public, and grat ifying the intellectual lovers of song, while her beauty and powers re main in their full p erfecti on, the fair and accomplishedeartad ung vocalist cannot b u t capt i vate many hearts, thus becomes surfeited by the fl a tt er i es o f the spoiled children of fortune, and lured by the wiles of subtle and interested admirers. The intoxication of success fol• lowing close upon the absorbing studies, and the doubts and fears that beset the debutante, must be a severe trial to t h e s ensitive and at dent y oun g c r eature, who, when acknow ledgedCosure of the great, the gifted, and the wea lth y o f seetiheeyn Prima Donna,' finds the world at her fe e t, an d is society." y Such are the attractive heroines whose fitful for tunes are here pourtrayed with so much of apprecia tive sympathy. The first of these volumes contains no less than nineteen, the second as many as twenty biographies. They are profusely illustrated with anecdotes and incidents of the times to which they relate. These anecdotes and incidents are, of course, not all here related for the first time, but they are selected with discrimination and given with piquancy and effect. The second volume opens with the life of Giuditta Pasta, one of "the sweet singers of Israel," and the sympathy with which the narrator follows the fortunes and enters into the feelings of the subjects of her narrative is here very remarkably evidenced. Madame Pasta made her debut when only eighteen; but her first season was not a success. She returned to Italy, and studied assiduously for more than a year. "An English nobleman, who saw her at this time, said that her exertions were unremitting. Other singers,' said he, ' find themselves endowed with a voice, and leave everything else to chance. This woman leaves nothing to chance, and her success is certain.' " On her re-appearance that success was assured. Here is a happy glimpse of her triumphant portrayal of Desdemona : "Her great triumph was in 0 tello,' In Desdemona she produced an indescribable effect upon the audience. Of the impassioned energy, the spirit, the delicacy, and tender ness which Madame Pasta infused into the characters, pages might be written. In the celebrated scene which closes the second act, commencing thus— ' Se it padre en' abbandoni Da chi sperar pieta,' fear, anguish, and despair were successively expressed. in her countenance, and the pathetic singing of the lovely melody, Assisa a pi:e d'un, soliee,' touched every heart. In this part those melting tones, which are designated the tears of the voice,' were heard with touching effect. It was in the last scene, however, when awakened by the raging ' Otello,' Desdemona starts up, and the indignation and horror of conscious innocence are kindled within her, that the powers of Madame Pasta's performance were concen trated. Her transitions from hope to terror, from supplica tion to scorn, culminating in her vehement exclamation , ' Sono innoaente I' eleatrifled the audienee; no language could convey an idea of the beauty, the intensity, the sublimity of her acting. Indeed, through tart the final scene, her acting was the perfec tion of tragic beauty : her last frenzied rooks, when, blinded by her dishevelled hair, and bewildered vrj th ee: of n dieting emotions, she seems to seek fruitlessly forth so resources of the art of the great tragedian l ra ed the ver satility of consummatelyh erpowers D es t° d a er v oLa t a , g a e n and h i t en d displayed to the gentleness of Tancredi.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROBB ERY KITH VIOLENCE. — Henry Benning and William Hr.; Pence, two privates of the Grenadier Guards, were charged before Mr. Yardley with violently assaulting Willi am Henry Turner, a post-office letter-carrier, and stealing his silver watch. Inspector Swanson, of the A division, attended to watch the case. • William Henry Turner, the prosecutor, said that having delivered some lettet s at the Ranger's Lodge last night about half-past eight he then vent to the canteen of the Magazine Barracks in Hyde-park, and having delivered his letters, some of the soldiers asked him to have some beer and a pipe. He did ao, and some time after, being a little fresh, he left, when the prisoners asked him to show them the way to St. George's Barracks, and they all left together. While going along, Pence, who pretended to be drunk, grasped his throat and struck him in the face, while Benning seized his watch. He fell to the ground, and on getting up the prisoners were gone, and he missed his watch and some money and his uniform cap. This morning he went to the Wellington Barracks and identified the prisoners from amongst several others. Police-constable, 222 A, said the prosecutor told him a similar story last night. He took the prosecutor to the Wellington Barracks this morning, the prosecutor having told him that the men who robbed him were Grenadiers, and the prosecutor there, on their being placed with others, pointed to Pence and said he was one, but that he could not see the other. However, on afterwards seeing Benning with four or five others, the prosecutor identified him. The prisoners, who had no questions to ask, were re manded for a week. THAMES. A MASTER MARINER IN SEARCH OF HIS MOTHERo•-•• John Leslie, captain of a collier, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with assaulting Mrs. Elizabeth Farrier, the wife of a tradesman, dwelling at No. 131, High-street, Wapping- A police-constable named Palmer, No. 258 K, said he was on duty in High-street, Wapping, last night. and heard the screams of a woman. lie went to the spot and saw two woman struggling with the prisoner. One was inside, the other outside of a dwelling-house, which the prisoner wanted to enter and was exceedingly violent. The woman said the prisoner had no business there, on which he struck ono of them on the face. He then took the pri soner into custody. _ _ Mrs. Farrier said that last night she was alarmed by a loud knocking at her door, which was succeeded by kicks, and a cry of "Let me in; I want my mother." Upon opening the door the prisoner exhibited himself, and said he wanted his mother. She told him his mother did not live there, and he said he would enter the house. She re monstrated with him, and he became exceedingly violent, made use of bad language, and strubk her on the face. Mr. Partridge—Does his mother live in your house ? Mrs. Farrier—No, sir ; I don't know his mother. The prisoner, in defence, said he was in search of his his mother, and that was all he knew about it. Mr. Partridge—You should prosecute the search for your mother in seasonable hours, and when you are sober. The prisoner, a burley North countryman said, well, your honour, I was three sheets in the wind, and that's all about it. Mr. Partridge—When were you paid off ? The prisoner —Eh, mon. lam not paid off at all. lam master of my own ship, the brig Sarah, She lies at the buoy. lam going back to the north. Mr. Partridge said it was a great pity the mother, of whom the prisoner was in search, was not in attendance upon him last night. Ile fined the prisoner 405,, which he paid. WESTMINSTER. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WITH LAUDANUM. —Elizabeth Bowell, living in Gardner's-lane, Westminster, vas brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum. Police Constable B 967, said that about six o'clock last night he was in the Horseferry-road when he was told that the prisoner was at the Telegraph is Regent-street, and that she had taken poison. He went there and found her in front of the bar. When he saw her she remarked, " I was very sorry that I let any one see me take lit." Witness got a cab, into which she was placed, and was taken to the Westminster Hospital, (The witness pro duced a phial which had a printed label on it with the words " Laudanum--poison.") She was attended at the hospital by several surgeons. She was there three hours be fore she was sufficiently recovered to be taken to the station house. Mr. SeHe—Did she give any account of herself ? Witness—She said that she had been living with a man, and she added that the first opportunity she had she would put an end to herself. Mr. Selfe ---Is the cabman in court? Witness—He is, sir. The cabman was called and said that he had been living with the prisoner about seven years. He could not tell what could have led her to make the attempt on her life. M. Salle said that ha would remand her for a week, when he would see what he would do with her. She was then remanded. NARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. Selected parcels moved off steadily, at fully Monday's currency. Otherwise the trade was quiet, on former terms. With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied. Most descriptions were in fair average request, and the quo tations ruled tolerably firm. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full cur rencies. The supply of barley on offer was tolerably large. Good and fine malting qualities were in fair demand, at extreme rates. Other kinds, however, sold heavily, at Monday's quotations. The malt trade was rather quiet, but fine old parcels were firm in price. There was a good supply of oats on the stands. Good and fine corn sold steadily, at full quotations; but inferior produce was dull, at late rates. Beans and peas met a slow sale, at previous qu?tations.

O'Brien and the Polish Question, The subjoined I&ter was read at the meeting of the Polish committee yesterday : Cahirmoyle, Nov. 9, 1863 . My Dear Smith—Allow me to ask you to hand to th e treasurer of the Polish fund the enclosed order for £2 as m y subscription for the months of October and November. I am glad to find that the interest which is felt in Ireland on behalf of the Poles undergoes no diminution. In presence of the many strange manifestations of opinion which now exhibit themselves, I dare not undertake to predict what will be the conduct of Irishmen in relation to any political question—bat formerly it was one of the noblest characte ristics of the Irish race that they adhered with inflexible fidelity to those who suffered for the cause of their country, and I would fain hope that this spirit has not been entirely extinguished by the political training which we have un dergone during the last 17 years. Never did a nation re quire aid more than the Poles now require it. lam now unwilling to use harsh terms, lest I should do injury to the cause of Poland, but, of course, it will be understood that I speak my own individual sentiments, and that I do not profess to speak on the part of the committee, when I say that the Pules have been treacherously betrayed by the diplomacy of the three powers which have professed to espouse the protection of Polish interest. The Poles have been lured to destruction, and then abandoned by those who undertook the championship of their cause. From what I saw and heard in Poland I am convinced that very many stoiaucemGmevietrtnhmemenstelbvyesthirereltarinegvuaabglye ition of the m os t em i nent members of Polish society were induced as h t thedo b y R the us statesmen of Europe. These statesmen have now left them to the mercy of the ruthless tyrant who seeks to eradicate every vestige of Polish nationality by confiscation, exter mination, and murder. In reference to the part taken by whichw conscripts, was s held the in England, it cannot b e f orgotten that when the Polish out bereelaeks wa were s confined eneour a g t e e d by asinall number of the meeting London and by the language which was held in Parliam en t to believe that they m i g h t count upon the support of tho English nation in case they were to risk their lives and for tunes in a struggle with Russia. The voice of the French nation seemed to be even more unanimous in their favour. As for Austria, though it has been obvious to every reflecting mind that the Austrian Government cannot desire to constitute an independent Polish king. dom on its borders whilst it apprehends that Galicia and Cracow would seek to be annexed to such a king. dom, yet there is amongst the population that is subject to Austria a sympathy for Poland which the Austrian Government cannot wholly suppress, and the Poles know that they can rely upon aid from this quarter even though the Austrian Government should act falsely towards thew. This state of European feeling might justify the most cauti ous Pole in believing that he could safely engage in a con spiracy which the ministers of England, France, and Aus tria had declared to be justified by the conduct of the Rus sian Government. No man of sanguine temperament could have believed that the potentates who undertook to plead the cause of Poland would calmly submit to the insult and humiliation which their remonstrances on behalf of Poland have brought upon them. As for the part taken by England, it is impossible to imagine anything more contemptible. Lord Russell, finding that public opinion was about to express itself with much warmth in behalf of Poland, undertook to represent the opinion of England by diplomatic action. In the course of a long and didactic corres7ondence he succeeded in establish ing to the conviction of all his readers the two following propositions :- Ist—That the Poles were fully justified in rebelling against Russia. 2d—That Russia had violated the compact which it had made with the other Powers of Europe in the treaty of Vienna. The violation of a treaty is held to be sufficient cause for war. When England has to deal with an inferior Power she does not hesitate to enforce treaties by fire and sword. She does not hesitate to exercise speedy and trucu lent vengeance upon those who offer an insult or inflict a real or imaginary wrong. Witness the conflagrationof a of along unoffending city of Kagosima — the most r series of unjustifiable aggressions upon ve t a e ke t r va s i t le a d tes in .

To my own fellow-cou ntrymen I repeat, " Forsak e not the cause of bleeding Poland. Be true and faithful to those who suffer for the sake of their country. The time will come when your intervention on behalf of Poland,t ow ever feeble it may now appear, will become one of the proudest memories of the Irish race,'" As forFrance,tho lan guage held by its Emperor is so enigmatical that oa cuts alone can interpret it ; but it appears to be an unquestioz table fact that France is prepared to allow the Poles to strugglo unaided through the long winter which has commenced, and ajourns the consideration of the " Polish question." to some indefinite period, at which an European congress, may possibly assemble and continue (luring another season the deceptions of diplomacy. Before I close this letter, I may be permitted to add a sentence with regard to a colla.terial subject. I observe with much regret that a misunderstand ing has arisen between some leading Poles and those who are interested on behalf of the Circassians. These jealousies are greatly to be deplored. The cause of Circassia and the cause of Poland are identical. Their interests are the same. Resistance to Russia in Poland aids the Circassians, and vigorous action on the part of the noble population of tho Caucasus forms a most important diversion in favour of the Poles by occupying a large Russian force. We, Irishmen, have not as yet bestowed as much attention on the ques acme which relate to Circassia as the case deserves, but we ought . to entreat those who have espoused the cause of Circa w sr: to co-operate with the Poles rather than wran n gl i e oo theta. Opportunities of combination are too often been sot want of mutual confidence.
