MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The position of the Discount Market this morn ing presents a more satisfactory state of affairs. Bill brokers and others appear more anxious to ob tain business than for several days past, and are consequently offering to negotiate securities upon easier terms. Thus, for instance, the best mercan tile paper of three months' date may be negotiated a fraction under the official minimum of 4 per cent., but that rate is still quoted as the general charge. The amount of specie to be conveyed by the Ripon, which leaves to-day for India and China, is £202,034, principal 4 During the last few days there has been more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The demand for sugar for home con sumption has slightly increased, and good and fine qualities have fractionally advanced. Coffee has continued in fair request, without material change as regards prices. For rice there has been an active demand chiefly for export, while the opera tions in tea have only been limited consequent upon the large quantity about to be brought forward at the next public sales. Fruit has been dealt in to a limited extent, while the public sale of indigo have proceeded with considerable animatitm, enhanced rates being realised in most instances. The tallow market has also shown a more active appearance, and quotations for both present and forward delivery tend upwards ; P.Y.C., on the spot, is marked 455., and spring delivery 465. to 465. 6d. per cwt. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday next for a special settlement in the shares of the London, Hambargh, and Continental Ex change Bank, dealings in which are to be daily recorded. At the annual general meeting of proprietors of the Union Steamship Company held to-day—Mr. A. Anderson in the chair—the report stated that the arrangement for continuing the mail service between the Cape of Good Hope and Natal have not yet been concluded, but the steamers Norman and Dane have been for the past eight months run ning between those colonies with the mails, under a temporary agreement with the Natal Government. The accounts showed a small increase in the receipts for freight and passage-money during the past year. A dividend of £1 per share for the last half year and also a bonus out of last year's earnings, under the late postal contract, of 10s. per share. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f 45c to 67f 37c. Firm—subsequently heavy. The English Stock Market has been very dull, but steady. The transactions, although exceedingly limited, are nevertheless sufficient in amount fo maintain prices. Consols have remained at 93 8 for money, and 9311 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are buoyant at 914 ; Ex chequer Bills are steady at 2s dis. to is prem. ; Bank Stock is 233 2354-; India Stock, 224 226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 109 / ; the 4 per Cent. do., 100/ ; and 5 per Cent. Enfaced paper, 1071, In the Foreign Department to-day, although business is quiet, there is more buoyancy. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 701 71 ; ditto, 1862, 714 / ; ditto, Consolides, 53 a ; Mexican, 411 ; Greek, 311; do., Coupons, 14/ 15; Spanish Passive 361; do., Certificates, ; Portuguese, 48/ 49 ; Rus sian, 931 ; Egyptian, 1001 to 101. The Confede rate Loan is 65 67 ; the New Portuguese, prem. ; and the Colombian 1 die. to par. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been of the most limited description, and prices have not varied to any considerable extent. North Western have improved about Sc., while Great Western and South Western have declined ss. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited inquiry, at about previous quotations. Bank Shares continue inactive. London and Westminster have declined to 791; and National of Liverpool have improved to 19Q7 London and Buenos Ayres are steady, at 631 9 ; and Union of London, at: 38 Z. India Loan Mortgage Bank shares are quoted 3 to 34 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, t- to a prem. ; and East London, 4 to 41 pram. In the Miscellaneous Market there is no change. International Financial Shares realise 10k 1; London Financial shares, lök I ; and Discount Corporation are quoted 9 to 9,i prem. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Punk Stock 233 51 3 per Cent.

(From the Daily Telegraph of this day.) We must confess that we share the dissatisfac tion which has attended the last promotion to the bench. The general opinion that the right man has been passed over for the wrong appears to us just. We mean no disrespect whatever by this distiric tion ; tae advancement of Judge Pigott to the judi cial seat would have been a perfectly acceptable ap pointment, if there had ben any need to search after a respectable candidate for the vacancy. But when there was no such necessity—when every voice was ready to designate the name that best deserved the elevation, and the Prime Minister himself was thoroughly aware of the overwhelm ing claims of Mr. Sergeant Shee—it is a matter of public regret and disappointment that that gentleman should have been passed over. There is no need to dwell upon the command ing qualifications of the distinguished advocate we have named for the ermine. No one stands higher in the profession—none unites more experience with more legal acumen—and none has been so unanimously regarded as judge elect by hie learned brothers and the community at large. Mr. Sergeant Shee, indeed, has constantly discharged the duties of the bench, and not without confirming the universal opinion that at the first opportunity he deserved, and might safely look forward to being permanently sealed there. When that opportunity has occurred,therefore,and another selection has bE en made, the public is thoroughly disappointed, and not a little perplexed. We are constrained to share the disappointment, though we have little difficulty in comprehending the feelings which induced the Go vernment to inflict it. Wo are quite ready to make every allowance tor the practical exigencies of admi nistration. Ministers cannot count upon Platonic love in Parliament ; their supporters must be en couraged from time to time by some of the rewards of party ; and this distribution must take place by rules of utility rather than merit. It is a bad sys tem, but it is the system of both sides, and one which can hardly be dropped till all lawyers are disinterested, and all votes strictly conscientious. Pending that millenium, a Premier with something to give away has to discover a recipient useful for the future, if only by holding out to others an exam ple of fidelity rewarded. " A live dog," says the proverb, " is better than a dead lion ;" and so a sol dier in the political field is better than a discharged veteran. In Judge Pigott the Cabinet saw the first, in Sergt. Shee the second; and the choice fell accord ingly. We have said that we are willing to admit all the force of this consideration. It may count for what it can with practical men, as an explana tion; for our own part we must not only reject it as a sufficient justification, but put it aside as the true cause of the injustice done to Mr. Sergeant Shee. The true cause—and that on account of which we find grave fault with the appointment —was that Sergeant Shes is a Roman Catholic. The learned gentleman has been so true a Liberal, that his absence from Parliament would have been overbalanced by his great claims upon the party. But because be professes the Romish faith, the ermine which he has most richly deserved by his talents, and especially from a Liberal Go vernment, is refused. We must speak frankly on this topic—we must not hesitate to disclose the unfortunate arguments that have obviously pre vailed. The Government has lacked courage in this matter, and not discrimination; there was little need of any assurance that Sergeant Shee was the best judge who could be nominated; the thing needed was the independence to shake off the ear-wigging remonstrances of Exeter Hall. Yet here again we are ready to make every possible allowance. The Protestant party has dono good service to the Pal merston Ministry, and could not be offended with impunity ; the alliance, however, is little better than a tyranny, if its members are to dictate ap pointments to the judicial bench as well as to the bench of bishops, in a manner that makes a farce of the Emancipation Act. When it is a question of ,a vacant mitre, the public—partly from a languid and hopeless belief that " CasJar and Pompey are very much alike"—receives the conge del ire of Exeter-hall with meekness. Bat it knows a great deal more of law than of theology, and is convinced that Sergeant Shee would do honour to the bench. Why, then, is he not elected ? The reply is, " He is a Roman Catholic." We answer to this that we can understand it should be no recom mendation ; but we cannot understand why it should be a disqualification. Nobody would like to see the Cabinet searching for a Papist when an appointment is in the wind ; but everybody is indignant that the best man should be passed over on that score. Have we, or have we not, finally dune away with the old intolerance which taboos a man for his religion ? Is it, or is it not, a solemn principle of the constitution that his conscience is each man's own property, not to be interfered with directly or indirectly? Yet here, after Emancipation Acts and Acts " for abolishing certain disqualifications"—after an epoch of legisla tion in the right and reasonable direction—after admitting Jews to Parliament, and removing in every theoretical way the rusty fetters of religious persecution—here we are branding a distinguished man with neglect because of his faith. It is a piece of retrogression in practice so startling, that we are compelled to protest against it. In these days the country expects that Ministers should take coun sel of the spirit of English liberty, and not of the leaders of the Protestant party. We main tain, in the interest of true Liberal principles, that when talent, eloquence, and life-long probity have so signalised a man that his promotion has become rather a consequence than a favour, he should not be thrown ever because he worships in another liturgy than that of Exeter Hall. And further, we tell the advisers to whom the Cabinet on this occasion has unhappily deferred, that they spoil their own game. If they desire to see Ireland Protestant let them not force her to pro test against the bigotry of reformers and the illibe rality of Liberals. The contrary policy is not only the honest policy but the best. Let them give scope to the spirit of modern legislation; carry out fearlessly the principles of freedom and free religion ; declaiming against the intolerance of Popery, let them not stultify themselves by being as intolerant. Here is a grievance stupidly given to Ireland, which she has the right, and will not want the inclination to use. The true policy of those who wish to see Ireland regenerated and con tent is to do her justice. It is not justice if, when we have passed bills to do away with "religious disabilities," we revive them against her worthiest children by slights of this kind. If the Evangelical party really wants to have its will of Erin, we will tell its chiefs how to go about it. Identify, amal gamate, blend the rights and interests of both com munities ; ignore the differences, and magnify and foster the common interests, of both portions of the united kingdoms; kill enmity with good will, and eradicate intolerance with toleration. There would be no doubt then as to which element in that true "union'' would conquer the other—no doubt as to the preponderance or the majority thus brought to bear CAI the sister island—no doubt as to the ultimate fate of the priest party. The ultra- Catholi , 3s know that truth well ; it was their con sciousness of-it that made them hostile to Whately, whose thorough sincerity of Liberalism won hearty co-operation from Archbishop Murray, and alarmed Cullen and the separatists. At present we play into the hands of the enemy, if we fortify th e d y i ng cry of " Repeal" with and injustice ]ikd this. It is a mistake, a blunder, whether we look at it from the point of Prottstanism, statesmanship, or policy, JUSTICE KEOGH is reported to be engaged upon "History of Ireland from the Union"--a perilous uuder taking. -.-- ,-1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. few days since several cases of cigars, valued at £l5O, were stolen in the St. Katherine's Dock, brought out in another barge, and removed from the cases, which were discovered empty by the Thames police. The ingots of tin were stolen from the barge Vesuvius in the East India Dock. Five men are known to have been connected in the robbery. and but for an accident would have all been in custody of the Thames police. The prisoners are watermen and lighter men, and well known to the Thames police. Holmes was in custody a few weeks since for furious driving and kil:ing a woman opposite Stepney Church. A coroner's jury took a merciful view of the case and returned a verdict of acci dental death. Holmes was then discharged from custody. Evidence was given of the delivery of 160 ingots of tin from a vessel called the Anna Augusta into the barge Yes suvius, belonging to Messrs. 'Ward and Harris, lighter men and carriers, of No. 67, Lower Thames-street. The Vesuvius was moored alongside the ship Kent. The ingots foofitloinwwineg )Monday were correct on Saturday, the 10th instant. On the morning the hatches were taken off and 26 ingots of tin were missed. Robert John Major, an inspector of the Thames police, said that in consequence of the robbery of the tin on board the Vesuvius he was on the watch on the East India Dock pier-head during the whole of Monday, the 12th instant. Inspector Clark was with him. He saw the prisoners several times in the course of the day, and he observed them go on board a barge called the William, and bring it out. They first brought it to the upper end of the Bruns wick pier at Blackwall. After sunset he went on board the barge William, in company with Clark, and found several ingots of tin concealed under some iron hurdles. They continued watching the barge, and saw the prisoners go on board agair. On the same night a horse and cart was brought to the entrance of the East India Dock. He got into a boat with Clark, and expected to apprehend the whole gang concerned in the robbery, but they got scent of what was going on and made their escape. While rowing towards the William they heard the:wooden handles fall, and preparations being made for the removal of the stolen property. All at once the prisoners and their confederates hastily decamped. The whole of the 26 intots of tin were found on board the 'William. One of the ingots was produced and identified. Dyer, another Thames poiice officer, gave evidence affecting the prisoners. Mr. Gomm, who appeared for the prisoners, cross examined the witnesses, but did not elicit any material point in favour of the prisoners. - Mr. Partridge said he should remand the prisoners at present. His intention was to commit them for trial on a future day. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The report of the directors of this company states that t h e average number of miles of railway open for traffic dur ing the half-year was 504, being an increase of 661 miles upo n the number open in the corresponding period of the previous year. The gross amount received for traffic in the h a lf -year ended Juno 30 last was £290,444, equal to £576 5s 61d per railway mile and to lls 84d per train mile. Of that a mount £56,101 was expended in transporting the traffic between the gaps in the railway system at the Bhore and the Thull Ghats, which left £234,343 received for traffic. Against this latter sum were set the working expenses cf the railway, the amounting to £149,550, l eav i ng a n e t p ro fit f or half-year of £84784. The train miles run were 667,142, be i n g en increase of 86,055 miles; the number of passen gers carried was 1 ,558,970, being 266,603 more than for the corresponding half of 1862. The merchandise carried, in eluding 39,339 tons o f t h e company's materials, amounted to 211,52 3 tons, being 25,000 tons more than for the same hal f o f 1862. The receipts for passengers amounted to £79,161, being an increase of £15,600 ; and for merchan dise to £155,182, being an increase of £51,598 over those for the corresponding half of last year. The average receipts per train mile amounted to 7s Old, and the expenses to 4s old, showing a net profit per train mile of 2s 6fd. The , ork i ng expenses amounted to 63.81 per cent. of the total receipts, against 62.10 per cent. for the corresponding half of 1862. The receipts per railway mils were higher in the pa st half-year by £B3, n o t w i thstanding the increased mile age worked. The directors were of opinion that a still bet ter result would have been apparent had such rate been in a as the board consid ered the company were fairly en ftitrlaeed, to charge, and which they had for a long time past been endeavouring to get the consent of the Government to introduce. The directors' views on the subject were in the month of June last again prominently brought before the Government authorities at home and in India, and they svcoaonC viaduct; a i n r d r co e e tt r d h; a had now reason to hope that it would be shortly dealt with I tl m e anner as to realise the company's just expecte working expenses amounted to 63.81 per cent. oilnifatushusechreceipts, being an increase of 1.71 per cent, upon the expenses of the corresponding period of last year. This rate of per tentage included for compensation £24,619 or 10 51 per cent. of the tpheeriroedcehiapvtsin;gthbeeeanmonoulynti7o9f6thoartoi.tzpienr a lu n dtg " compensation" the ratio of expenditure in the past half-year was' 53.31 per cent. The dettlioeir4eertec:taorerrpsrPacegretted that the company should have sustained the serious loss of £24,619, which arose chiefly in connec tionwith the cotton traffic, several accidental fires having quantity tfy oft cotton cot t oa during whi h t the a :l i r ay course season, of n d iibnnl con s idera ble tran sit at the commencement of the S.W. monsoon had been unavoidably damaged by rain while in the company's pos session. Measures have been taken to avoid similar acci dents in future. By the end of this year the only works of importance upon the Thull Ghat incline which would a nd Mr. Graham, the chief resident engineer, not be finished would be No. 2 tunnel and the Eheagaum i n those Works to prevent them being next, com pleted by U pon several other con tracts t h e works were being energetically prosecuted. In consequence of the Secretary of S tate for India having de termined not to extend the existing system of guarantee, and the directors feeling that the company's interests required t h a t m easures should forthwith be t a k en t o secure the con struction had the branch to connect their line with Indore, the sanction of th e Govern ment, they for med a se p arat e company in Ju ne l as t ca ll e d ‘' The Great Indian Peninsula Extension Railway Company (li m ited)," with the ob ject of making an d wor ki ng the atrn: which c h been surveyed by In dore line. The pr,iject was favourably entertained both by the Government and the public, but it having been found neces sary to refer the negotiations to I n di a , t h e di rectors re quested their colleague, Mr,Ayrton, M.P , to proceed to India, and conclude arrangements with the Government there. The report of Mr. Graham, the chief resident engineer, stated that since his last report the section of the Bhore Ghat incline from radusdburry to Khandalla, a distance of 13f miles, and a section on the north-eastern division from b 5 J u l ga um to Mulkapore , a distance of 451 m il es, mak i ng a 5 miles. The permanent way and works had been m iles of new line, h a d been opened for public the total len g th of the opened line from f i i n n i c9 d rie i a n silig good order, with t h e exception only of some 4 m ttro 9 a a t s ffia i l t total of the Goolbun e m b ankment. This embank ment,slhies in h w as over lOOft in h e i g h t, was completed after the close of last ra ins, conse q u ently a considerabl e p or ti on o f heavy which the upper earthwork had not had the full benefit of last monsoon; some difficulty, therefore, in the maintenance of this portion of the line during the present rains was to be expected. The road across the embankment had, notwith• standing, been maintained throughout with very little in terruption to the traffic. The Bhore Ghat incline was opened by his Excellency the Governor on the 21st of April, o n the 14th of the f o ll ow i ng month goods trainspilrand commenced working over it, and continued work ing regularly up to the 16th of June, when after a heavy and continuous rain the large embankment near the foot of the Ghat were reported unsafe for the passage of trains. Since that date no trains had been run, and embankments 6 and 8 had settled to the extent of about Bft. since the be ginning of the rains. A slip of 1,500 about cubic yards, and about 100 ft. in length, had occurred in No. 5 embankment. The only slip of any importance in the slopes of cuttings had occurred at the lower end of cutting No. 4, where about 1,300 cubic yards of the slope came in, filling the railway for a length of 100 ft, and nearly 12ft. in depth. Some small slips had occurred on other parts of the line. The surveys for a line from Sholapore to Hydrabad and to Raichore, as originally proposed, were completed, and in the course of a few days Mr. Graham could submit his re port on those extensions. The capital account (London and Bombay) to the 3th June last showed that £10,675,054 had been received, and £10,017,110 expended, leaving a balanee of £65719" The net revenue account to the 30th of June last showed that £556,249 was the aggregate amount of net profit from work ing the line, of which £50 8 , 1 32 had been paid into the o vernmont treasury, leaving £48,117 to be paid. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA. It appears that the directors of this company have been informed by their financial agent in Canada that the loss on through traffic collected and converted, ascertained up to the 3d October, amounted to 30,966 dols 71c 06,369 3s 9d), and that there remained a farther sum of American funds for conversion at that date of 30,080 dols 76a. In addition to which there were balances in accoun t with connecting railways still unadjusted. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIEL D, AND LINCOLN SHIRE.

STEALING A IVATut.—Thomas Cody, a well-known thief; was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with stealing a watch, the property of a gentleman unknown. George Johnston said, about 10 o'clock on the night of October 16 he saw the prisoner near a cab at the corner of Exeter -street. Two persons were getting out, one of whom appeared to be very much intoxicated. In a short time after he saw the prisoner make a snatch at the•drunken man's watch, and ,run away, when the person who was with the gentleman whose watch had been stolen immediately pursued the prisoner. Joseph Groves said he met the gentleman by accident in a publichouse in the Strand. They afterwards drove in a cab to another publichouse at the corner of Exeter-street. Ile was certain his companion had a gold watch, because he saw him take it from his pocket two or three times whilst he was with him. The last witness after the robbery came up and told him a man had taken away his friend's watch, and pointed out the prisoner, who was running away, as the person. He (witness) pursued him through a lot of courts, but finally came up with him in Russell-court and seized him by the collar. He asked him for the watch, when he said he had not it, but upon being told he should not let him go till he had satisfied himself of that, prisoner pointed to one of the areas near him, and said the watch was down there. Witness upon this looked, and there be saw the watch lying; he still held him, upon which the prisoner said, "You've got the watch, why don't you let me go ?" A policeman came up, and just at that moment a person came to the door of the house and gave the watch into the constable's hand. Police-constable, 112 F, said he went to Russell-court and then took the prisoner into custody for stealing a gold watch. When he (prisoner) saw the watch in his hand, he said, " What's the use of making a row, you've got the watch, why don't you let me go." He, however, took him to the station-house, and charged him with the robbery. He also took the gentleman who had been robbed into cus tody for being drunk. On that occasion the name and address he gave had proved fictitious, and he could not find him. Mr. Corrie asked if the prisoner was known ? Detective Ackrill said he had known the prisoner for years as a thief. He had been sentenced to four years' penal servitude by Judge Payne at the Middlesex Sessions, upon which occasion the j adge informed the prisoner that if he came there again he would give him 10 years' penal servi tude. Since that the prisoner had been summarily con victed for stealing a watch at the Epsora races. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, The Prisoner repeated it was no good saying anything. There was a mistake somewhere this time, as he did not steal the gentleman's watch. Mr. Corrie fully committed the prisoner for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO HOUSEHOLDERS—AN ARTFUL TRICK,--- A gentleman applied to Mr. Knox this morning for advice in regard to a claim which had been brought against him by a house agent, and respecting which he wished to put persons who had houses or apartments to let on their guard. The applicant went on to say that about a year ago an ad vertisement appeared in the Times newspaper as follows : " Furnished Apartments,—Wanted, for a permanency, by a gentleman, between Piccadilly ancl Oxford-street. Good sitting-room and bed•room. Terms, from £l2O to £l5O for a year. Apply, &3." The advertisement, apparently com ing from a gentleman seeking apartments, his (applicant's) wife answered, he having, like many other professional men, a larger house than he required. Two or three days after a person called to see the rooms (a second floor), and after seeing them, and when upon the point of leaving he said to his wife, " Will you be kind enough to put the right name and address, and perhaps you will add the date." The person said the last few words in a callous off-hand manner, at the same time handing applicant's wife a paper. His wife thought there could be no objection to do so, and wrote as desired, and would make an affidavit that there was nothing on the paper respecting any agreement or contract—at least as presented to her, for it might have been doubled ; nothing was said either respecting any "commission," because his wife did not when writing know the person was not seeking the rooms for himself; and that she did not intend to sign any engage ment was evident, because she wrote his (applicant's) name and not her own, and gave him the distinction certainly unnecessary under the circumstances, of " Esq." after his name. After the person had obtained the writing on the paper, he admitted, to his (applicant's) wife's surprise, that he did not require the rooms for himself, but had been sent by the house-agent, or as his (applicant's) wife thought the gentleman to whom she had written, and he added they might suit the gentleman named in the advertisement, or, if not, some other they would send. The person then left. No one came, however, from the agent for some months after, and then no arrangement was made ; and later a person, evidently drunk, called, but was not admitted Meanwhile the rooms had been let more than once, not, however, to any one sent by this agent, who was not in formed of the fact, as he had never in any way been et.- ployed. A few days ago the same person called to know if the rooms were let. and finding they were he demanded the name of the occupant. He was supplied with it, so that he might know he bad not sent the gentleman(as the g entleman would prove it necessary). To his (applicant's) astonish ment he received a day or two later a claim for £5 108. for so-called " commission" as per "signed terms." Having requested an explanation, he received in answer what proposed to be a " copy " of the paper with his name, address, and date, as before mentioned, given by his wile, but with, to the best of her belief, some printed " terms" added at the head of the paper. These " terms " were printed in very small characters (the applicant handed the paper to Mr. Knox for his inspection), and very artfully concocted, and concluded with the words " I assent to these terms respecting"—then follows the written particulars. One of these "terms," however, would be sufficient to make the most reckless portion pause if seen at all, for it makes the percentage payable on the whole period for which the property is let or disposed of by any one or with drawn. This being his (applicant's) case he wished to know what tie could do, as he considered it a most extortionate demand, and whether he could not prosecute the agent for obtaining a signature under false pretences, with a view to extract money or obtain some indemnification for the annoyance and loss of time. He asked the question on behalf of many persons, who, from fear or other motives— especially females—might not resist such a claim, especially as his wife had seen a number of the persons at the agent's office with postage stamps, and then when she called to know what was meant by " signed terms," the applicant was threatened to be served with a writ. Mr. Knox said there was no possible claim against the applicant, and if he resisted payment and an action was brought, the judge would laugh at the plaintiff and order him to pay the costs. The applicant, however, might be pretty sure that steps would not be taken, and need not tear action. He (Mr. Knox) felt sure that publicity being given to the matter, would meet the end the applicant had i n view, and put persons on their guard. WESTMINSTER. AN EXTRAORDINARY VISIT TO VIE RUSSIAN ARRAS SADOR'S.—A warmly-clad middle•aged man, of respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Arnold, from the Cot tage. road Station, Pimlico. Mr. Sharpe, solicitor, said he had been requested to at tend from the Russian Ambassador's. The defendant had used some very threatening language to his Excellency, and it suggested itself that, owing to some recent proceed ing 3 taken under the Enlistment Act, he might have been prompted by others. Mr. Arnold—He is charged with being drunk, riotous, and using threatening language in the street. Mr. Sharpe—He intruded himself into the court yard of Chesham House, and threatened to shoot his Excellency. He was removed from the court yard, and was then taken in the street for his misconduct there. John Elliott, 282 A, said—l was on duty at Chesham House at 10 minutes past 4 yesterday afternoon, w h en I p a cab, an d as k e d if B aron saw the prisoner drive u . Brunnow lived there. The porter told him " Yes," and defendant then said he wanted to see him very particularly. The porter said he co uld not then, when defendant repli e d that he must and would see him befor e h e went away. Mr. Arnold—Did h e assign any reason ? Witness—He said that Baron Brunnow had been the rother Poles being sh.tt, and he cause of many of his b would shoot him. Mr. Arnold—" His brother Poles.". Witness—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold—He has got an exceedingly I r i s h name for a Pole. Witness—He is Irish, your worship. Mr. Arnold—Well, w h a t occurred a ft er thi s threat ? Witness—l took him by the arm and wa lk e d hi m out of the court-yard into the street, and I then persuaded him to go away, but:he said g. t h e --- Russians had kill e d man y o f his brother Poles," and tried to force his way into the gate again. Mr. Arnold—Was he drunk or sober Witness—Very drunk. Mr. Arnold (to defendant) —What have you got to say to this ? Defendant--I know nothing about it. Mr. Arnold—Was he sober enough to know what he was doing ? Witness—Yes. Defendant—l have been drinking this fortnight, throw ing my money about the streets, and treating every ono I knew. Mr. Arnold—This may turn out merely drunken folly, but I must know something more about you. You must find one security in £lO for your appearance here again on Thursday. Removed in custody. THAMES. DARING ROBERY ON rria RIVER.—John Holmes, aged 53, and Alfred Hall, 21, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 26 ingots of tin, weighing 7561 b., and valued at £37, the property of G. Ward and J. Harris, ]ightermen and barge owners. This was one of several daring robberies recently com mitted in the docks and on the river outside the docks. A SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL 'S—MONDAY. Settling on the past week's racing at Newmarket was proceeded with from an early hour in the afternoon, and the attendance of members to meet th e i r engagements as large. Money appeared to be abundant, and although a few com plaints were heard, still, upon the whole, the settlement of accounts was pronounced to be equal to the average of any great meeting. When it is also remembered that several were at Lincoln, the few accounts left standing over maybe well accounted for. Betting on the Cambridgeshi re was ar ried on at intervals during the afternoon, but it was not until latish that anything like a real demonstration took place. Limcsina, who was made such a hot 'un in the City in the morning, was in increased demand at Hyde Park corner, 100 to 30 having been taken to money, but at the close 4to 1 was demanded. Catch'em Alive was, however, the shuttlecock of the day, for after he had receded to 10 to 1, taken and offered, he rallied a bit, and when it was dis covered that the hostility against the horse originated in a ti mere "shave," he was once again reinstated as second favourite at 6 to 1, bilered ; but backers being still chary, they stood out for 8 to 1, at which they were accommodated towards the finish. Carnival had a host of friends at 100 to 8, and as the members were leaving the lawn 11 to 1 was booked to £5O. The attempt.to "bring" Summerside was a faiiure, 25 to 1 being taken and offered. 1000 to 30 was accepted three times about Borealis, and Jack of Hearts would have been supported at the same price. Birdhill and Roman Bee were friendless at offers of 40 to 1 each. Seve ral outsiders would have been backed, but the "long range" sought for was too much for the nerves of even the stoutest layers ; the longest price we saw booked was 2,000 to 15 twice about Myrtle. Forty " centuries" were accepted about Ackworth for the Derby.

Although the card was not of a very inviting character, fine weather, good fields, and excellent racing inaugurated the revival of the Autumn Meeting at Lincoln. There were five items of sport on the first day, which brought out 29 runners. The Carholme Stakes, for which five started, created considerable diversity of opinion as to which ani mal would be likely to produce the winner, and though 6 to 4 was at first taken about Lyra. she retrograded to 5 to 2 when the commissions for Blight and Fauconberg were executed. Sir George Strickland's mare, however, won the moment she was called upon. The whole of the four run ners contested the Selling Hurdle Race, which would have undoubtedly resulted in the defeat of the favourite had the rider of Cronstadt chosen to come away after clear ing the last hurdle. The Lincolnshire Autumn Handicap ended in the defeat of the two lavourites, Bally Edmond and Atherton, by The Monk, who won his owner another respectable stake. The Blankney Selling Stakes intro duced five starters, the whole of the entries ; and the win ner found a new owner in Mr W. Barber, who gave 105 guineas for him. The last race,. the Rifle Volunteer Han dicap Hurdle Race, had eight runners, and produced an excellent race between Hetman and Margery, the first named having passed the judge a length in advance of Mr. Marsh's mare; but as an objection on the ground of foul riding was lodged against the winner, the result remains in abeyance until this day (Tuesday). The following are de tails of the running : The Carholme Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for 2-yr olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 61b; certain penalties and allowances. Six furlongs. Sir G.

Fauconberg made the running, followed by the Lambton colt, Ess Bouquet, Blight, and Lyra, In the order named, until arriving in the straight, where Lyra joinei Faucon berg, and the two at the distance quitted their horses, and Lyra heading John Osborne's horse - at the half distance came away and won easily by two lengths; Ess Bouquet a bad third, and the other two beaten off.

They ran thus until arriv ing opposite the Stand on the far side of the course, where Cronstadt, who bungled at his fences, took up the running, having Annie Laurie in close attendance, Quarantine three lengths off, and Princess a dozen lengths in the rear. Pro ceeding along the lane side towards the turn into the straight, Qaarantine joined Cronstadt, the two jumping the last hurdle together. Immediately upon getting into the straight Cronstadt had his opponent beaten, and without paying the slightest attention to the remainder the jockey allowed Princess to get up, and she getting the first run, won by half a length. A bad third. There was no advance upon the selling price of the winner. The Lincoln Autumn Handicap of 10 soya each, 5 ft, and only 3 if declared, with 100 added; winners extra.

G o i n g up the Windmill-bill Doncaster was in front, but upon rounding the turn Earl of Surrey took a clear lead of Doncaster, who preceded Bally Edmond three lengths, and at the brick-kilns Atheratone dropped into the rear, and Bally Edmond, in company with The Monk, passed Don caster. There was very little variation until they came into the st rai gh t, where Earl of Surre y was joined by Bally Edmond and The Monk, the latter of whom waited upon the pair until reaching the distance, where he came away and won by four lengths; a similar distance separated the second and third; and Doncaster was beaten by two lengths from the favourite.

How Cos TUMEs AR E NATIONALISED. The Gazette d es Etrangers says th at t h e Annamite Am bassadors,struck with admirat i on of the actresses of the Fo i e theatres, have ordered of the costume makers speci mens of the principal female costumes worn in the fairy pieces at the opera and elsewhere. When asked what they intended to do with them, they said that they meant to adopt thew as the ordinary attire of their wives and daughters. Should they really carry their design into execution, future travellers may be reminded of Europe by seeing the princesses of Peau d' Ane, Aladin, and the Pilules du Diable appearing in the streets of the empire of Annam. Another French journal reports that the new European fashion for ladies next winter will be the enlarging of their love-locks, and pulling them down over the cheeks into an imitation of whiskers.
