MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Affairs in the discount market continue without change. Money is abundant, and the demand for it very small. Three months' bills are again nego tiable at 31 per cent. As these terms permit the brokers to obtain a small profit upon their opera tions, and enable the mercantile community to ex change their paper at easy rates, the subject of an alteration in the offi3ial minimum no longer Perplexes the commercial mind or engrosses its attention. A further withdrawal of £14,000 was effected at the Bank of England yesterday. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. The preliminary arrangements of the Royal Bank of India (lately started in Bombay) for commencing business in London are completed. The London and County Bank are the company's London bankers. Mr. Maculloch, formerly manager of the Agra and United Service Bank at Bombay, has been appointed the London agent, with offices in the East India Chambers, Leadeuhall street. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. B.2ntes were 67f. 05c. Dull. The English Stock Market is less buoyant than it was at the close of business yesterday. Consols, which had been fractionally higher, have returned to their original quotations, which are 93 s for money, and 93-1- 1 for the account. Toe New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 917 4 .2- 4 ; the New 21 ditto, 761; India Stock is 226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1091 2 ; and the 4 per Cent. ditto, 1004 101. In the Foreign Market a further downward ter.- dency is apparent, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 92-1 ; do., 1862, 711 - 1 ,-; do., Consolides, 521 53 ; Mexican, 421; Greek, 30! ; do., Coupons, 141 ; Spanish Passive, 351 ; do., Certificates, 131 ; Portuguese, 49Z a; do., New Loan 1 d H prem ; and the Confederate Loan, 63 65. The settlement of the account has been the chief business attended to in the Railw.y Share Market to-day, and prices have in several instances exhi bited more firmness. West Midland,NorthWestern, South Western, North Eastern, York, South and North Stafford have improved 5,=., and South - Western, 106.; Caledonian, however, have receded ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little change of importance as regards prices. Bank Shares continue in moderate request. Char tered of India, Australian, and China have im proved to 391 40 ; Union of London to 381-, I; India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 3 to 31 premium ; East London, 2 to 3 prem.

THE GRAND OLD STORY ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE PAGAN GODS !—ln I'axo, says Mr. Ansted in his recently published work on the " lonian Islands in 18 , 33," about the time that our Lord suffered his most bitter passion, certain persons sailing from Italy to Cyprus at night, heard a voice calling aloud, Timmins I Thallium who, giving ear to the cry, was bidden (for he was pilot of the ship), when ho came near to Pelodes (the Bay of Butrinto), to tell that the great god Pan was dead ; which he doubting to do, yet for that when he came to Pelodes, there was such a calm of wind that the ship stood still in the sea unmoved, he was forced to cry aloud that Pan was dead; wherewithal there were such piteous outcries and dreadful shrieking as hath not been the like. Milton al ludes to the circumstance in his " Ode to the Nativity"— The :onely mountains o'er, And the resounding shore, A voice of weeping heard and loud lament—. 111 E SUN, LW DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1863, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--This Day, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Marlin.) THE 31XLYLEBONE MURDER. Sarah Emily Mitchel, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. There were several other counts charged in the indictment. The prisoner was dressed in deep mourning. She was seated in a chair, and was held up by two female warders. When she was asked to (lead not a word was extracted, and a plea of not guilty was entered. Mr. Clark and Mr. Beasley prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Sergeant Shee. . The learned counsel, in opening the case, said the pri soner had been in the service of Mr. F. Chappell, of Liverpool, who led her astray, and the result was the birth of a child, which she was charged with having murdered. This person brought her to Lyndon, and tool lodgings for her at No. 108, Marylebone-road, where she had another which did not live, At this time she began to entertain feelings of jealousy towards Mr. Chappell, threatening to destroy both herself and her child.' As the question of insanity would be raised, he should feel it his duty to put into the witness box the medical gentleman who attended her, and who had examined her in order to ascertain her mental condition. Mr. W. Catherow, surgeon, of `Veymouth•street, said he had attended the prisoner on the 33 July, she was then in a very prostrate condition from excitement caused by jealousy. He calmed her and left her about half past four o'clock ; the same afternoon he was again fetched when he found her lying on the sofa with her throat cut, and the child was also lying on the bed dead. A razor was found near the bed. From the appearance and actions of the prisoner after she had inflicted the wounds, he was of opinion that she was labouring under some disturbance of the mental system. Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—She was nervous and excited from the first moment she saw him. Her second child was nit of full growth, it only lived about six hours. She had much restlessness and excitement, and he had to give her large quantities of laudanum to enable her to get any rest. She talked to him a great deal about Mr. Chappell. SI - 4e was provided with every necessary for her comtort except during the last three weeks when she re fused assistance from Mr. Chappell. She said she would have Mr. Chappell's affections or no money. Mr. Chap pell's lawyer came to witness and asked him to arrange terms of separation. He spoke to the prisoner on the subject, and from that time she refused assistance. His attention had been called to the prisoner's mind by the sister, who had frequently called upon him, and he ulti• mately asked Mr. Byam to meet him. Elizabeth Mitchell, sister to the prisoner, was then ex amined, and her evidence went to show that for some time back, in consequence of the jealousy she entertained of Mr. Chappell, she became at times quite unconscious. She always expressed and showed the greatest affection for her child. She knew Mr. Chappell had told prisoner that he thought it would be for the happiness of both that a separation sh.quld take place between them, and withthat view his solicitor would call upon her to arrange the terms of separation. He also had told her that neither she or her child should ever want for anything. Mr. W. J. Byam, of Welbeck-street, surgeon, confirmed the evidence of Mr. Catherow as to the state of mind of the prisoner. Dr. Thermo, of Camberwell, who attended the prisoner in her first confinement, in June, 1862, gave similar evidence. He was positive at that time that if she became a mother again her mind or body would give way, or perhaps both. He saw her again on the 2d of August, when the child was dead. His opinion was that she was maniacal. He saw her again afterwards, and up to . the last moment she was in a state of suicidal mania. Baron Martin said it was a question for the jury whether the prisoner was a responsible person. His own mind was clear upon the matter. Mr. Clarke said there was much more evidence of the same kind. The jury then turned round to consider, when Baron Martin told them that the charge against the prisoner was one of murder, and could not be reduced to manslaughter. Everything depended on the state of mind. The jury then acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. Baron Martin said that in consequence of their verdict, the propriety of which it was impossible to doubt, the pri soner must be detained in custody until her Majesty's pleasure was known. '[he prisoner was then removed from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WEST-END BEGGING NUISANCE —A tall ? strongly built fellow, named Daniel Sullivan, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. From the evidence of Wm. Gordon, 323 A, it appeared that he saw the prisoner last night begging at the door of the Junior United Service Club of the members 'as they entered or left. He saw the prisoner receive money of two or three of the members—who he (Gordon) had no doubt gave it him from fear—and he then took him into custody. On searching him at the station he found 4s. in his posses sion. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month with hard labour. A sturdy fellow named Casey was charged with a similar offence, 4s. 6cl. being in his possession at the time. He was also committed for a month with hard labour. Mr. Knox inquired of Inspector Bowles whether the beg ging nuisance complained of in Regent-street and Bond street was so bad as formerly. Inspector Bowles said that since his worship had sent all the persons charged to prison there bad been almost an entire cessation of the nuisance. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE HAYMARKET.-Mr. Joseph Matthews, of 18, Edgware-road, gentleman, and Mr. John Jones, surgeon, were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket. Mickleborough, 3 07 A, proved seeing the two defendants in the Haymarket, about a quarter-past ono this morning, pushing against the passers •by. He expostulated with them, telling them that in such a place their conduct was calculated to cause a great disturbance, and they wont on a short distance, but again repeated their unruly conduct, and Mickleborough then took them into custody. One of the defendants said they had been dining with some friends and got tipsy. Mr. Knox fined them 16s. each, or seven days, Two females, Lamed Ann Pearce and Emily Jervis,were next charged with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket, and assaulting Holden, 297 A. . .__. The case having been proved, they were committed for a month each. WESTMINSTER. ----- SPECIMEN or AN HONEST BOY.—John Garraway, a respectable-looking lad between 12 and 13, was charged with stealing a fowl under the following circumstances:— Alfred Lovelock, 336 13, said that at 7 o'clock on Tues day evening he was on duty in Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner and three other boys loitering round the shop window of Mr. Williams, cheesemonger and poulterer, 24, E lizabeth-street. Having his suspicions aroused, he watched them, and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner go inside the shop and steal a fowl, upon which w it ne s s went up to him, and, finding the fowl under his coat, took him to the station, the other lads escaping. Mr. Wilkins having identified the fowl, Mr. Arnold asked if there was any one present belonging to the lad. The prisoner's father here stepped forward. Mr. Arnold—Your boy is charged with stealing a chicken. What have you to say about his general conduct ? The Father—He's as honest a child, your worship, as ever stood upright in shoe leather. (laughter, in which the magistrate joined.) lam a French polisher, and sent him out with a job yesterday, when he got along with some other boys and they set him on ; and I hope you'll not send him to prison till the other boys are found. Mr. Arnold—That's all very well, but here the constable saw him take the fowl and took it from him. What have you to say, boy ? Prisoner—l am very sorry I took it. Mr. Arnold—l must say that, for "as honest a child as ever stood upright in shoe leather,' this is a most impu dent robbery. You are remanded for a week. The father here commenced inveighing against the con stable for not apprehending the other boys, and was turned out of court, declaring that his boy should not go to prison without them, and Plutarch refers to the same remarkable incident. QUEEN . MAE. By JULIA KAVANAGII—This is one of the best of the numerous productions of Miss Kava nagh's pen. She has long since established herself as a novel writer, and every fresh attempt gains her a larger circle of admirers. Her power of description is great, and she succeeds in setting her characters clearly before the reader. " Queen blab" is more charming than any of her former creations. The story will surely find much faVour with the public.—Observer. SIGNIFICANT !—THE SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS.—The officers of the " Empress's Dragoons," says the Paris correspondent of the Vines, gave a dinner a day or two ago, in the Salle Louis X of the Palais of Versailles, to the officers of the Cuirassiers and Lancers in garrison in that place: Marshals Magnan and Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, Generals d'Allonville and Pate, and several other officers of rank were among the guests. Covers were laid for 230. Toasts were, of course, given to the Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial, to the army, &c. On the health of his regiment of Dragoons being pro. posed, Colonel Pajol said, in returning thanks :—" Per haps the day is not distant when the Emperor will call upon us to measure our swords with the oppressors of a people so full of sympathy towards France. We will then, like those who have gone before us, let the world know the i advantages that may be derived from the combination of al the arms of c,ivalry." This expectation of a war with Russia—for it can only be Russia that is meant—was greatly applauded. The presence of two marshals and of other officers high in command makes the incident still more remarkable. Before the war in Italy there were indi cations of a similar kind. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27.—The Leviathan, in ballast, trading between Havannah and Mobile, and the schooners Condor (with general cargo), Flying Scud, and Vanguard, with cotton, have been captured by a Federal cruiser in the Gulf of Mexico. Advices from Beaufort, North Carolina, dated the Ist October, state that on the 29th September a large side-wheel steamer, apparently deeply laden, ran the blockade out of Wilmington. A LIVING WAIF.—The English schooner Theo dore, which arrived at Havre the day before yesterday from Newcastle, picked up at sea, about 10 miles from the Eng lish coast, a fine Newfoundland dog, which was standing oa a piece of timber about two yards long, forming part of the wreck of some vessel. other portions of which were seen floating near. When the dog, which is a 'my fine animal, saw tho schooner's boat approaching, it jumped into the water and swam to meet its deliverers. TWELVE MILLION BUTTERFLIES.—In the canton of Basle no less than 12,000,030 butterflies have been caught this year, and the Government has paid the catchers the not inconsiderable sum of 1,000,000 f. Natu ralists tell us that of every hundred of these beautiful in sects, forty-five aro females; and as each of the latter is estimated to lay, on the average, forty fruitful eggs, the destruction of these 12,000,000 is virtually the same as the annihilation of 216,000,000 caterpillars. Mr. RUSKIN has built a Swiss chalet on the mountain side overhanging Chamouni. Ile purposes to study the mountain effects throughout the greater portion of the year; and, if report speaks truly, we are to be fa voured with the result of his observations, in a volume of glowing Ruskinese. A VESSEL STRUCK BY A WllALE.—Captain Kirkham, of the barque Edwin and Lizzie, which has just arrived in the Mersey, gives particulars of one of those rare instances of a whale striking a vessel direct on the stem, and which in the case of his ship nearly caused her to founder, so tremendous was the shock she received. The Edwin and Lizzie left Prince Edward Island with a cargo of timber, and on the 12th of October, in lit. 45 1 north lon. 27 8 west, at half-past lin the afternoon, was struck by a large whale. Part of her cut-water was carried away, and the main stem cut right through to the wooden ends. This terrible blow, as might be expected, caused great alai m on board the vessel, and so rapidly did she leak that the pumps were instantly manned, and kept going night and day without intermission. Fortunately they were equal to the emergency, and though the Edwin and Lizzie (a new vessel) had seven feet of water in her hold, she was brought safely to the Mersey and docked. THAMES. A POLICE PENSIONER FlNED.—Joseph Burton, a beer seller, and formerly a police-constable of the K division, who has been In the receipt of a pension for the last four years, was charged on a summons with having his house °penal for the sale of ale and beer on the morning of Sun day, the 18th instant, before the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon, the same not being then and there for the ro• ireshment of travellers. George Clark, a police-constable, No. 14:5 K, said that he saw a little girl leave the defendant's house at half past l 0 o'clock on the morning in question with beer in a jug, At 11 another girl came out with malt liquor in a mug and another person went in. At 20 minutes past 12 a man came out with a bottle under his coat. It contained a pint of malt liquor. The defendant afterwards met him and abused him. lie was called a b• —•.---y scam p, and other opprobrious names. The defendant said he served no one on the morning in question, and the man who left his h ouse had some cod liver oil in a bottle, and he would defy any policeman to distnguish between cad liver oil and beer. Inspector Griffin of the K division, said the defendant had been three times convicted for selling beer during the prohibited hours on Sunday, and although he was a pensioner on the Metropolitan Police Fund, he was very abusive to the police, and had used very bad language. The defendant—Now what sort of convictions were they, no fines were inflicted. Griffin---On the first two occasions he was fined 25., end on the third couv!ction, 63. The defendant—There, 2s. costs, first time, 2s. costs the second time, and ss. fine the third time. The defendant was fined 10s. FIFTEEN TIMES CONVICTED,—A well-known and despe. rate thief, who gave the name of John Walbrook, was charged with stealing money from a till in the Shakspere Head public-house, in Jubilee. street, Stepney. Miss Grace Mare, barmaid, said—l was in the bar parlour this morning, and heard the jingling of money. I went into the bar, and saw the prisoner leaning over the counter, with his band in the till, which was open. He was in the act of taking some halfpence out of the till. He dropped them when he saw me, and rushed out of the house. I called out '• Stop thief," and he was caught and detained. Mr. James Griffin, laspector of the K division, said—l know the prisoner well. I believe his real name is John Middleton. He was here on tit) 221 of May last for opening a parlour window and stealing a watch. He was remanded, and when he was brought up a second time Hawkes, a City police-officer, proved twelve convictions against him. Two of :hem were at the Sessions, and ten wen , summary ones. I know of three more. Mr. Partridga—What became of him last time ho was here. Witness—Mr. Woolrych sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Dlr. Partridge—Then I shall commit him for trial. The Great Confederate Chiefs Be- Sketched. JEFFERSON DAVIS. "During the week, after the battle of Manassas, when the weather had cleared and the scorching July sun blazed again as of old, by common consent we all took to the woods, and encamped there. As for Jeff Davis,' it appears that when the rout of the enemy was complete, he had ridden without escort along the lines—but his features and figure were so well known that he was quickly discovered, and loud yells of delight rang out from our whole army. Taking advantage of the fall of the evening, he dropped in' upon our officers (many of whom were fellow-townsmen), or e z•niembers of the U.S. branches of Legislature) to have a quiet chat. As I had never seen a live Pre sident, my curiosity was on tha qui rive, and when his presence was whispered to me, I found him sitting at our colonel's tent door, with a circle of captains and lieu tenants, conversing very quietly on State affairs, but with no more animation or sign of pleasure than if a victorious army was not around, or a beaten one flying from him. In c i t i v n attire, with beaver hat, and smoking a cigar, he lis tened to all that was said, assented cr dissented with a nod o f tho head, and some time after, mounting his grey mare, a mbled off to Manassas, as unostentatiously as if he were t h e least person in the Confederacy. Since then I have see n the President frequ en tly on diff eren t fi e ld s o f b att l e, and have observed little change in his habitualy modest and t houghtful demeanour, although on many occasions his proud and victorious troops, unconscious of his presence, were rending the skies with their shouts, or charging the enemy with unexampled fury.'' " STONEWALL" JACKSON, "Stonewall" may be a very fine old gentleman, and an hones t, good-tempered, industrious man, but I should admire him much more in a state of rest than continually see i n g him moving in the front. And such a dry old stick, too ! As for uniform, he has none—his wardrobe isn't worth a dollar, and his horse is quite in keeping, being a poor lean a nimal of little spirit or activity. And don't he keep his a id es moving about! Thirty miles' ride at night through t h e mud is nothing o f a j o b ; an d i f they don ' t come up to t i me , I'd as soon face the devil, for Jackson takes no ex cuses when duty is on hand. He is about thirty-five of medium h e i g h t, strongly b uilt, so l emn an d years old, thoughtful, speaks but little, and always in a calm, de cided tone; and from what he rays there is no appeal, for h e seams to know every hole and corner of the Valley, as if he m a d e i t , or, at l east , as if i t h a d been designed for his own use. Ile knows all the distances, all the roads, even to cow-paths through the woods, and ("oat tracks along the hills. Ho sits his horse very awk wardly, although, generally speaking, all Virginians are fine horsemen, and has a fashion of holding his head very hi g h, and chin up, as if searching for something skywards ; yet although you can never see his eyes for the cap-peak drawn down over them, nothing escapes his observation. Hi s movements are sudden and unaccountable ; his staff don't pretend to keep up with him, and, consequently, he is frequently seen alone poking about in all sorts of holes and corners, at all times of night and day. I have fre quently seen him approach i n th e dead of night and enter into conversation with sentinels, and rido off through the darkness without saying, God bless you,' or any thing civil to the officers. The cons€ quence is, that the officers are scared, and the men love him. He was a student at West Point, but never remarkable for any brilliancy. IVhat service he has seen was in Mexico, where he served as lieutenant of artil l erY. At on e o f t h e b att l es t h ere hi s captain was about to withdraw the guns, because of the loss suffered by the battery, and also because the range was too grea t . This did not suit our hero ; he advanced his piece severa l hundred yards, and 'shortened th e di s t ance ,' dis mounted his opponent's guns, and remained master of the position , " To the above the writer appends the following note "General Jackson was never known to put his h orse out of a trot, except wh en d esirous of escaping the cheering of his men, on which • occasions he would raise his cap, discovering a high, bald fore head, and force his old 'sorrel' into a gallop. This oldsorrel' w ar-horse is well k nown throughout the army; with head down it seldom attempts more than a trot, bat stands fire well, and that may be the reason why the gene ral prefers and always rides him. Many gentlemen, im agining that the hero would appear to better advantage on a blood animal, have presented several to him, but they are seldom used. When our army entered Maryland, in Sep tember, 1862, in order to get in the rear of General Miles at Harper's Ferry, and secure the 14,C00 men under his com mand, Jackson's corps was stationed east of Frederick, and an influential citizen, in token of admiration, gave the com mander a very valuable horse, that he might appear to advantage. Jackson mounted in th e pu b lic street, and was immediately thrown into the mud I The old sorrel' was again brought forth, and the general ambled off, very good• humouredly, never essaying to mount fine' horses again." Statue of the Emperor Napoleon I. -- ~_ ___ The Moniteztr has the following on the statue of the Place Vendome :—" A modification which will be viewed with satisfaction by all artists is at this moment in course of execution at the column of the Place Vendome. The present statue of the Em peror Napoleon I. is to be replaced by one similar to that which was fixed on the column under the first Empire. It is well known that the Emperor, w i s hing to perpetuate the memory of the glorious campaign terminated by the. battle of Austerlitz, ordered the erection of a column with the bronze of the cannon taken from the enemy. This monu ment, begun in 1806 and terminated in 1810, was surmounted by a statue of Napoleon I. in heroic costume, in conformity with traditional usage. This statue, the work of the eculptor Chaudet, was taken down in 1814, and afterwards melted to cast the statue of Henry IV., now on the Pont-Neuf. A Royal ordonnance of the Bth of April, 1831, ordered the restoration of the Imperial statue only ; instead of preserving the original cos tume the Emperor was represented in the dress he usually wore when with the army. This new statue was placed on the column in 1833. Since that date the change made in the costume has been much criticised. It must not be forgotten that this occa sion was a kind of apotheosis, and that, if it is allowable to give the statues which commonly de corate our public places the costumes habitually worn by the men they represent, it cannot bs the same with statues intended to surmount a triumphal column. The ancients were well aware of this, as shown by Trojan's column, of which the column in the Place Vendome is an imitation. The Emperor Napoleon 111., faithful to the reminis cences of the First Empire, wished that the effigy of the founder of the dynasty should be re-estab lished on conditions in conformity with tradition. The new statue, confided to the talent of lkil.ft n t member of the Institute, and cast by M. - is completed, and will be shortly put in its place. It e u b m a o ui t , holds in one of its hands the same w i n ged Victory as the statue had in 181 0 , and which has been comprehended h thirtynd ed with those of the column. At the B anie pre served, and the beauty of its lines willhtaimrme ba o t nise t the Emperor ordered this chan g that the present statue, con s e ec h ra e t c e years, and representing the military costume so well known th rou g hout the whole world, ought to remain before the oyes of the people and of the army ; and he ordered that a pedestal should be erected for it at the Rond-Point of Courbevoie, at the corner of tt.e Avenue de Neuilly. Thi s place is admirably ch osen for such a mo nument. The g round, which fr om the Are de Triomphe de l'Etoile declines towards the Seine, again rises on the other side of the river, and offers a rend-point which takes the name of Courbevoie, and from which several avenues branch off. It es in the middle of this place that the pedestal is being built, under the direction of M. Deb D, the archit ec t. The grandeur i _ and simplicity of the monument, as well as the beauty of the granite used in its construction, will form a worthy support to the statue of the great men." EXTRAORDINARY CASE, At the Ashbourn (Derbyshire) Petty Sessions, on Satur day last, before Sir Wm. Fitzhubert, Bart., Hon. E. W. K. Coke, Mr. F. Wright, and other magistrates, a most ex traordinary charge was preferred against Mr. James Clif ford, of Shardlow, for that he, the said James Clifford, of Broughton House, Shardlow, in the county of Derby, gen tleman, in and about the year 1804, at the parish church of Longford, did feloniously steal, take, and carry away one leaf from the parish register of the parish of Longford, con taining thereon the entry of the baptism of 'William, son of Mary Tatlow, of Bentley, dated Bth November, 1827, the goods and chattels of the then incumbent and church wardens of the said parish of Longford, against the peace of the late King George 111 , his crown and cignity. Mr. Clifford is a gentleman of independent means, having with others be come possessed of a large fortune, amounting to £40,000. The case, from its extraordinary nature, excited great into. rest. Mr. Quarles, solicitor, Nottingham, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Bristo we, barrister, it. etructed by Mr. Whiston, solicitor, D.;rby, for the defence. Mr. Clifford sat beside his solicitor in c mrt. Mr. Quarles addressed the bench at considerable length, and called the following important evidence :—James Lipscomb, parish clerk of Longford, said —I produce the register book of births, deaths, and bap tisms for the parish of Longford. The entries in it are from 1538 to 1812. There is a leaf extracted containing a register of baptisms from the year 1724 to 1729. Mr. Quarles here put in a duplicate copy of the Longford registry obtained from the court at Lichfield. In it was the entry of the bap tism of William, son of Mary Tatlow, on Nov. 8, 1727. When the Archdeacon of Derby made bis visitation, dupli cates of all registers were handed to him, and thus they were enabled to obtain a copy of the original that was stolen from Longford Church.—Wm. E wart of Derby,out of busi ness, said—l knew the late Mr. Thos. Sutton, of Shard low, and have seen him write his name. The certificate pro duced is in the handwriting of Thos. Sutton. I saw him sign it. I was the attesting witness. I lodged with him at the time." The certificate ran as follows :—" I hereby cer tify that James Clifford, at the request of my brother, James Sutton, of Shardlow, Derbyshire, did about, or in the year 1805, search the registry of Longford, Derby, for the bap tism of my late uncle, Wm. Tatlow, which he found there duly registered, and in my presence extracted the leaf con taining the same from the book. After obtaining this docu ment he, in company with the late James Minton, of Shard low, conveyed it to my late brother in London, making claim foe the parties interested to the property left unto them by Wm. Tatlow. Witness my hand this 19th day of August, 1837, THOMAS SUTTON. Witness of the signa ture of Thomas Sutton —WILLIAM Ewa.nr." John Brassington said—ln 1816 I was 18 years of age. I knew Elizabeth Swindell. She was daughter of Thomas and Mary Swindell. In 1816 I accompanied Elizabeth Swindell to James Sutton's, Broughton House, Shardlow. We were shown into the hall. There was a mail-coach at the door. Mr. Clifford and Mrs. Sutton were there. I said to Clifford, "Are you Mr. Clifford?" He said, "I am." I said, " You are the man that went to Longford Church to obtain the register of Wm.Tatlow, which register you and Mr. Minton took to London the next day in order that Mr. Sutton might prove his relationship." My remark caused great consternation to Mr. Clifford, and he sank down in a chair, and Mrs. Sutton wes so alarmed that she did not speak for a minute or two. Thomas Bowen said—l am a bobbin-netter. I live at Derby. In 1851 I went to Shardlow along with Mr Gaskill and Mr. Hill. We went to Mr. Sutton's, Shardlow Hall, and afterwards called at Mr. Clifford's, Broughton House. I asked Mr. Clifford whether he went with Mr. Sutton to find Wm. Tatlow's register. He answered, "We went to Cubley, but I could not find it." I said, " You are the gen tleman that cut the leaf out." He replied, "It was a trick of youth," and asked us to have something to drink. Mr. Clifford also added that Mr. Sutton, of Shardlow Hall, was a nice gentleman, that he had done a deal of good in the village, had given the ground for the church, and had also got up a bazaar for the church clock. The Hon. E. Coke—What Mr. Sutton do you refer to ? Witness—The present Mr. Jas. Sutton, of Shardlow Hall. Wm. Gaskill, coal agent, Belper, corroborated last wit ness. Heard Bowen say to Mr. Clifford " You are the gen tleman that cut the leaf out of the registsr." to which he replied "I did, it was only a trick of youth." Anthony Stone—l live at Derby. I saw Mr. Clifford at Shardlow about a year ago. John Brassington was with me, and he said to Mr. Clifford, "Mr Clifford, did you not go to Longford to cut a leaf out of the book ?" He replied "No, I did not ; I only went to Cubley." Mr. Brassington then said "You went forward to Longford." Mr. Clifford made no reply and walked into his office. Mr. Brietowe made an able defence to the bench. Mr. Wright said—lt is my duty, as chairman of the bench, to give our decision ; and, in the first place, I must say that it has been very painful to us to hear the case, involving as it does so much on both sides. We feel, however, that the evidence has been straightforward, and that there has been no attempt to upset it, and although it was a long time ago we cannot help feeling that a leaf was extracted from the Longford register. From the evidence before ue, Mr. Clifford was the person who extracted it, and we commit him for that offence. We will take bail, Mr. Clifford in £5OO, and two others in £250 each. The decision caused the greatest excitement in court, Mr. Clifford and his solicitor being taken quite aback at it. The bail was entered into, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. The Empress Eugenie in Madrid. We have the following details relative to the visit of the Empress of the French to the Queen of Spain :—" Her Majesty left Valencia at 8 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, accompanied by M. Barrot, French Ambassador, Count Altamira, the Marquis de Villafranca, Princess Anna Murat,. Admiral Dupony, Mesdames Montebello, de Lour mel, and de Bescurial, and her Chief Equerry, the Marquis de Lagrange. Tha train arrived about noon at Almanza, where her Majesty lunched. At the station of Albacete the Empress was received by MM. Mon and Salamanca, who were in waiting to pay their respects and offer to her Majesty a collation, which she deigned to accept The Palace of Aranjuez had been prepared for her Majesty to take some repose, and to change her toilette, but she did not stop. After having received at the station the congratulations of the Marquis del Duero, Commander of the first military division of Count d'Espeleta Civil Governor of the district, and of several of the local authorities, she continued her journey. It was nearly 11 at night when the Royal train entered the station at Mad rid. On arriving there the Empress found the King of Spain, who had come to receive her in great state, accom• panied by the Infantes Don Francisco and Don Sebastian, and their several aides-de-camp and orderly officers. His ress, and p Majesty entered a Court carriage with the Em proceeded to the palace, followed by the suite in carriages. When the Empress and the King reached there the guard paid the usual military honours, and when the Empress alighted from the carriage the band of the Halberdiers played the " Royal March." The palace was lit up, and the halberdiers were drawn up on either side of the grand staircase. The Queen was in waiting, surrounded by her Ministers, the officers of the palace, the ladies of honour, the gentlemen of the chamber, and a number of Generals and high functionaries, The Empress had scarcely begun to ascend the staircase when the Queen came down to meet her. After making a profound salutation the Empress and the Queen affectionately shook hands and inquired after each other's health. The Empress then ascended the staircase leaning on the King's arm, and the Queen followed, talking to the Princess Ann, Murat. The official and usual presen tations afterwards took place in the reception room. It was past midnight before the Empress was installed in the apart menta prepared for her. —Galignani. AN ATROCIOUS YOUNG CRIMINAL.—On Saturday, at the Wigan police - office, William Metchinson, a powerfully built lad of 16, was brought before Mr. J. M ee k c h ar ged with no less than three diabolical outrages, and attempted outrages upon women. From the statement made to the magistrate it appeared that on the previous Monday a Mrs. Cunliffe, the wife of a farmer residing in the borough of Wigan, was passing through the Haigh plantations when she was followed by the prisoner, who attempted to assault her, but she escaped from him and took refuge in a house a short distance away. On the day following a young woman. of 25, named M‘Whinney, was pass i ng the fishpDnd in the plantation when the prisoner ap prdached her, and, throwing her to the ground, attempted to violate her. She struggled with him some time, and at length succeeded in extricating herself from his clutches. Information of these attacks having been given to the police they were, of course, on the look-out, but nothing was seen of the prisoner till Friday, when a person answering his description was noticed by a son of Mts. Cunliffe, and followed into Wigan, and these apprehended by a police constable. He was taken to the station and there identified by the woman. While this was going on in the office, another woman appeared to prefer a more serious charge — one of rape - -which had been committed on a short time previously, also in the Haigh-park, and on being placed before several young men, among whom was Metchinson, she at once identified him as the offender. The name of the complainant was Costellow. She resided at Gathurat, and was aged abont 20.

STATE OF TRADE: MaNctiEsTER, Oct. 27.—1 n export yarns a con siderable amount of business has been done at ex treme prices. In the early part of the morning the market was rather quiet, but later is the day a good telegram from India was announced, quoting the market at Calcutta much excited, with a con siderable advance in yarns and cloths, which ha d the effect of imparting greater strength and acti vity to this market. Prices advanced Id per lb ‘ , and in some cases sellers report ld advanf:e as cor a . pa►ed with la3t Friday. The market for these (l e _ scriptions of (shipping) yarns closes with a atrocug and buoyant feeling. A moderate business is e leo reported to have been effected in cop yarns a/. an advance on last week. Manufacturers hesitate din the morning to give the advance, but on the w hole a fair amount of business is understood to have been done, and the market for these goods is better than last week. Among the telegrams from is is one from Calcutta, dated the 13th of Oci ober, quoting 61b shistings, 8d per piece higher; 7Lb de., 8d per piece higher; 81b shirtings, 18d higher; and cotton also considerably advanced. In the cloth market there has also been some improvement. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market lest week checked, and, in fact, almost stopped business in calicoes, but the renewed activity at Liverpool of the last two days have been to some extent responded to here, and we have had considerable inquiry for most descriptions of cloth suitable to India, and many offers have been made. The dearer cotton,- market obliging manufacturers to further advam:e their quotations, these offers have in some cases be, ,m declined, and the business effected for actual ship, meat is understood to have been small. Some sales, however, have been effected to shippers, where sellers were willing to meet buyers at something under extreme rates. A fair business has been done in some cases at the full advance, but it is generally believed to have been of a speculative character. LEEDS, 27th.—There has been quiet but steady markets in the cloth-halls to-day. A moderate amount of business was done in meltons, tweeds, and ordinary black cloths; but as the early part of the day was very foggy, the attendance of buyers was rather small. At the close of the markets a fair amount ot heavy goods, such as pilots, witneys, left the halls, affording satisfactory proof that win ter fabrics are still in request by some of the retail dealers. Prices of woollen goods of all descriptions are very firm. The flax trade is busy, and both the raw material and yarns and threads are rising in price. Seldom have the flax-mill hands here been better employed than they are at present. NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a limited atten dance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the deman d hi gh prices lac e y arns was quiet, on account o f t h e Vt _ prices as k e d ; the amount o f b us i ness t ra nsacted was small, and extreme rates were m aintained.
