MONEY MARIKET AND COMMERCIAL INTZLLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. 'Eno Balm return presents significant evidence of the low demand for money both in the private deposits and in the private securities. The former are little more than a fraction below the amount of last week, while the private securities have f a llen to less than sixteen millions, an amount at which they have not stood for the last eight or nine years. The bullion bow reaches nearly twenty-one millions sterling, and the reserve is approaching twelve millions and a half, though an advance of one million has been made to the Government in anticipation of revenue. These are the principal changes in the return, and, con sidering. the period of the quarter, they are important. ne following are the particulars : Decrease in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits... 109,587 Increase in Government Securities 1,000,000 Decrease in other Securities .. 125,325 Increase in Bullion ...... 188,848 Increase in Rest Increase in Reserve Bullion in both Departments ...... 20,964,840 Reserve of Notes and Coin Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 24,175,469 The return of paid clearing for the week ending Wednesday, September 23, as certified by Mr. J.

SERIOUS ASSAULT.—Ann Taylor, living at No. 6, Brown's-buildings, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with violently assaulting Mary Ann Morris, residing in the same house. The prisoner has been under remand for some days, the complainant, in consequence of the inju ries she has received, not being able to attend. She was now present with her head bandaged, appeared to be very ill, and gave her evidence seated. She said about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th inst. I was in a room which I occupied with the prisoner. We had a few words and I went towards the room-door, when the prisoner knocked me down stairs and kicked me twice in the side. I became insensible and remembered nothing more till I found myself in the hospital, where I have remained ever since. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner say anything to you at the time she attackel you ? Couiplaivant—Yes st.id, ( 4 You old I've got you now." Mr. Henry Case, house surgeon at the Middlesex Hospital, said—On the 9th inst. the complainant was admitted to the hospital, and she was scarcely sensible at the time. I found a serious contusion on the left side of the head, and a coutuseed wound under the chin, and they might have been occa sioned by a kick or a fall. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Do you consider the complainant out of danger ? Mr. Case—She still complains of pains in her head, and I cannot say at present that she is out of danger. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will again remand the prisoner for a few days, and by that time we shall be better able to judge of the condition of the complainant. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Mary Ann Bowles, a middle-aged woman, who has been in custody a fortnight, was brought upon remand before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding Mary Murphy. • The prisoner's husband was convicted last week by Mr. Paget and Mr. Benson, who both presided on the occasion, for striking a man named Lucas on the head with a hammer, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. The complainant, Mrs. Murphy, was now brought from the London Hospital to give her evi dence. Her head was bandaged, and she was in a very weakly condition. All the parties live in Providence-street, St. George-in-the-East. There was a disturbance there on the evening of the Bth of September, blows were exchanged, and the police interfered and dispersed the crowd. The prisoner's husband made a kick twice at a woman named Jordan. The complainant expostulated with him, and said he ought to be ashamed of him self to kick a woman in that manner. The pri soner's husband called her very bad names, and threatened her, and the prisoner took up a stone and threw it at the complainant. She was struck on the head, a serious wound was inflicted, and she fell senseless to the ground. She was re moved to the London Hospital, and had been under medical treatment. Charles Martin and Rebecca Gordon said that before the stone was thrown the prisoner's husband said, " Now, Mary Ann, take a fair aim and be sure you hit her." The woman fell as if she had been shot. Mr. Frederick Smith, house-surgeon of the Lon don Hospital, said that the complainant was brought there on the night of the Bth inst., at 12 o'clock. There was a wound on the forehead ex tending to the bone, and laying it bare. The wound was full of brick dust. Mr. Paget inquired whether the wound was in flicted with a brick or a stone. The witnesses described the prisoner to have flung a stone at the woman Murphy. The witnesses replied half a brick, and it was produced by a policeman named Burn, who said he found Mrs. Murphy weltering in her blood. He thought she would not live. The prisoner, in defence, said the complain. ant was abusing her husband, and called him a - cuckold. She did not throw the piece of brick at Mrs. Murphy. Mr. Paget had no doubt the prisoner threw the half brick, and it was lucky for her she was not before him to answer a charge of murder or man slaughter. Both the prisoner and her husband were savage and violent persons. The prisoner had not asked a single question in cross-examination to show she did u3t throw the brick. Ile sentenced the prisoner to three mouths' imprisonment ar.id hard labour. AN ABYSSINIAN OWL.—A fine specimen of the Abyssinian owl may be seen at the residence of Mr. R. Good, South-street, Yeovil. The bird, although quite young, is of immense size, and has a b3ak and talons more like an eagle than an owl.

Jones f 4 the defendant. tfr. Davies;of watched the Case on behalf of the breaksmen. Mr. reVson, assistant-manager of the London ann North-We tern Railway, stated in the course of his evi dence th 9 Rule 0, page 110, which directs that " luggage trains shall be shunted ten minutes before a passenger train due," and which has been so often referred to in the curse of the inquiry, did not apply to the defendant, but vas drawn up for the guidance of the company's servants when a train belonging to a foreign corn patty was passing over the line. The rule was bound up with the general instructions, but it was under a distinct heading, and was so bound up simply to save the expense of two books. If he had been reported to have said at the coroner's inquest that the station-master and brealcsmen were responsible for Rule 0, lie had not sworn falsely. If he had said so, he had misunderstood the question. It was competent for the station-master, upon the arrival of a goods train, to order it to be put on the siding forthwith. Rule 100, page 37, states that "every officer of a station is responsible for the faithful and efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon all the company's servants at the station." The defendant was also amenable to Rule 102, which states that " the foremen on duty at stations are to regulate the goods trains as they do the passenger trains, and when trains are out of course to advise each driver and breaksma'n how long the preceding train has left, and where it has next to stop." The defendant is the foreman of the Llandulas station. On the 20th August the defendant was bound to have the line at the station cleared for the passage of the mail a sufficient time before it was due. There is no rule in existence which specifies a time. Station-masters are responsible for cer tain things, whilst a pack of luggage trains is in their stations ; but breaksmen are responsible for the discharge of their own particular functions. It is, of course, im possible for the station-master, standing upon the platform, to direct the actions of men shunting a train at some distance off. If a station-master knows the breaks men are leaving waggons upon an incline without properly breaking them, he is to blame. Mr. Wood said the next witness he had to call was Mr. Cawkwell. The evidence to be given by him being, how ever, merely formal, having reference to the leasing of th• Holyhead line to the London and North-Western Railway, it was admitted by Mr. Jones, and the attendance of Mr. Cawkwell was dispensed with. In reply to the inquiry as to whether the breaksmen were forthcoming, Mr. Davies said he had told the chief constable that if he would fix a time when he was ready to receive them into custody upon a charge of manslaughter they should be forthcoming. Richard Williams was subsequently called, but did not appear. SHARE LIST.

C Vatcrford & Kilkenn: Vaterloo & Inspector Owen said he had used every effort to find tile witness, but had failed. Mr. Wood said it had been stated that the breaksmen could be produced. So extraordinary an instance of con.' tempt of court had never before been witnessed in a court of justice in England. There were warrants out against these men, ordering them to appear to answer charges of the gravest character, and the bench and the public were told that their solicitor had held communication with th• chief constable of the county, and had arranged with him that the men should not be forthcoming till a certain time. He begged to state that it was his intention to bring the conduct of the chief constable under the considera tion of General Cartwright, her Majesty's Inspector of Police. The statement of Mr. Wood was repudiated by Mr. Lewis on behalf of the chief constable, and the bench suggested that Mr. Wood had better not bring such accu sations against the chief constable in his absence. At this juncture a policeman entered the room, and said he had just seen the breaksmen in the neighbourhood of the court. On being asked why he had not taken them into custody, he stated that his superior officers were there, and Constable Lewis, who held the warrant for the appre hension of the breaksmen, was also present. The officer further stated that Lewis did make an effort to apprehend the men, and that they were motioned away by their solicitor, Mr. Davies. Mr. Wood : Mr. Davies is liable to an indictment for this. Mr. Davies here entered the room, and the purport of what had passed was communicated to him. He said that in performance of his promise to the court he had brought the breaksmen up from Pensarn in a trap, in order that they might appear, not as witnesses, but as defendants on the charge of manslaughter. He brought them up to the end of the lane near the court, when he ascertained that they had left something behind. He got out and told them to wait, and in the meanwhile two policemen went after them, and they drove off in the trap. Mr. George (magistrate's clerk) said it was the duty of the advocate engaged in the case to aid in every way the ends of justice. General Cartwright said that it would be his duty to cause a strict investigation of the affair to be made. Mr. Davies was repeating that he had done everything in his power to get the breaksmen up to answer the charge of manslaughter, when Mr. Wood, interrupting him, said: From the position in which you have placed yourself, Mr. Davies, I think the less you say the better. It is in the power of my client to put the law in force against Mr. Davies, who has been an accessory after the act, but after the remarks of General Cartwright I shall advise him to leave the matter alone for the present. I have now to ask for an adjournment. The inquiry was adjourned to Saturday for the attend ance of the breaksmen, who had left Abergele by train. The police are in pursuit of the men, THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. FridaY, Sept. 25, 8 a.m. Nairn...... Aberdeen • • Leith .... Shields • Scarborough Yarmouth.. Helder .• • • Cuxhaven ..

A sudden and considerable decrease in barometrical pressure has occurred since last evening in south-western districts, where readings am nearly half an inch lower than they were yesterday morning —a region of low pressure existing off the entrance of the English and Irish Channels. On our N.E. coast, on the contrary, the pressure has increased during the last twenty-four hours, and barometrical read ings in our islands are greatest at Leith and Shields, and exceed that at Cape Clear by 019 in. Temperature has risen on our S. and E. coasts :at Portsmouth the rise is 9 deg. Since last evening a fresh south-easterly wind blew in the S.W. of them islands, but on other coasts the winds were light and variable. This morning an easterly gale is reported from Cape Clear and Weymouth : another stations in the English Channel the wind is fresh from the S.E. Heavy rain has fallen in the S.W. of Ireland, where rain is still falling. The weather is cloudy and unsettled. The sea is rough on the Irish coast. Warnings issued this morning. TIIE OUTRAGE AT NOTTING-HILL.—Mrs. Russell is reported to have undergone a change for the worse, and it is now said there is very little hope of her recovery. The man who is alleged to have committed the crime has not yet been apprehended. TUE NEWCASTLE ACCIDENT.—The jury called together to inquire into the circumstances of the New castle accident have returned the following verdict : " We are of opinion that Mary and John Stokoe, and two others, came by their death by the upsetting and breaking of a bottle containing two gallons of diamond oil, the same igniting at the fire. Also, that the patentees, Messrs. B. Binning and Son, and their agent, Mr. Logan, have been highly negligent in not giving proper precautions to pur chasers of the dangerous nature of the oil ; and we con sider the handbill published by the manufacture's calculated to mislead the public. We consider the oil, from its highly inflammable character, to be unfit for domestic use. We beg to call the attention of the police and the county magistrates to the illegality of moving each dangerous compounds. We beg to thank I A 9 4' l Agijit.,,Vjaftfislo lulaiiiagutidaujohe Mr. Digby Seymour resumed his speech for the defence. He commented strongly on the fact that Mrs. Borrodaile resided for a considerable period in small coffee shops—places totally beneath the patronage of a colonel's widow. The prosecution had sought to make out that there had been no meeting between Mrs. Borrodaile and " dear William," whoever he might be ; but the let ters at once disposed of that theory. They spoke times and often of such a fact, and such was the logical sequence with which they were composed that it would be ridiculous to suppose that the author was under the influence of whisky. There was one letter more than the rest that bore the stamp of truth upon it, although it was unblush ingly said all was written under the dictation of Rachel. It commenced, " I thank you,for having taken care of my comb and my fresette, my own hair." He thought they (the jury) would be of the opinion that that was Borrodaile all over; it smacked of that inordinate personal vanity which was the one great and absorbing thought of the golden haired colonel's widow. Then, again, it was one of the extraordinary points in this case—who was Mrs. Lilly? He contended that that personage was the " granny " referred to in the correspond ence, although the counsel for the prosecution would have them believe it was Rachel—a circum stance altogether opposed to the whole of the evi dence in the case. Then, again, could they believe that such a passage in another of the letters —" I have given you all that a woman holds dear "--could a person even under the influence of whisky write such a tremendous admission as that. How could they interpret that passage, supposing they had read it in a book ? not, he was certain, as Mrs. Borrodaile attempted to explain it away when he put the question close to her. She said she meant her money, not her virtue ; but they would have to deal with an important fact, and as sensi ble minds he felt certain they could not come to the same conclusion. Mrs. Borrodaile swears that William was Lord Ranelagh, but on that great point be, like the jury, were entirely at the mercy of Borro daile, and all he could say was that such could not be the fact. Then, with respect to the photograph that Mrs. Borrodaile kept on her mantelpiece, it was said that it was Lard Ranelagh. But why was it not produced? Would any virtuous woman have done that which Mrs. Borrodaile admitted she had done with that picture? lie felt certain none would have so acted, and a more gross and lustful admission he had never heard in a court of jus tice. That would give them a greater iusight into the character of the prosecutrix, and he felt certain they would attach all that importance which such an astounding fact deserved. He proceeded to comment upon the evidence of Mrs. Borrodaile with respect to her offering to sow buttons oa Lord Rine!agli's shirts, and he advising his lordship to send his clothes to a job bing tailor she had discovered, all of which he designated as too ridiculous for belief. Was Lard Ranelagh the bootless, shirtless, hatless, and tat tered individual the prosecutrix wished the jury to believe? He felt they would not be of that opinion, but, on the contrary, that they would say by their verdict that "dear William" was the man, and not the nobleman whose name had been so largely mixed up in that extraordinary trial, concluded his speech with reiterating the opinion that the prosecution had altogether failed, and that the jury would do justice to the prisoner and acquit her of the charge made against her. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine in his reply said he should not attempt to imitate his learned friend and occupy an extraordinary space of time. He could not go with his learned friend in making appeals to feelings ; he did not think the case was of sufficient importance to do such, and he could not but think that a great deal of valuable time had been consumed in commenting upon mat ters which had nothing in the world to do with the case. According to his (Sergeant Ballantine's) view of the case Mrs. Borrodaile had been plun dered of money, pension, and everything she pos sessed, and he contended the prisoner at the bar had been proved to be guilty of the charge against her. He was greatly surprised when he heard his learned friend say that in the present case the world's eye was upon it, that trial by jury was in peril—that posterity would deal with the trial as a matter of history, but he must be pardoned for disbelieving all such high-sounding assertions. There was no doubt that large sums of money had been got out of Mrs. Borrodaile by means of a very gross and fraudulent character ; that she had been robbed and plundered of her last shilling, comparatively speaking, and had had the reversion of her pension secured to the prisoner. The ques tion was, whether the prisoner in obtaining ',these large sums from Mrs. Borrodaile had obtained them by the means imputed. It had been sought to be shown that the occupation in which the prisoner was engaged was not so exceptional as had been suggested, and the daughters of the prisoner had been eulogised for the part that they took in the mat ter. There was no doubt the case was of a very dirty character throughout ; if the prosecution was dirty, the defence was equally so, and he thought the title of procuress would better designate the occu pation in which the prisoner was engaged, and that this infamy of which she was thus guilty was of greater turpitude than the crime with which she was charged. The sooner such shops as Madame Rachel's were rooted out of London the better, and those ladies who visited them could not come out again without the paint being upon them, and there was no knowing where the injury would stop. They had bad an illustration but a short time ago of the length that a woman might be imposed upon by a recent trial, where the large sum of £60,000 was in question, and he could not make a better illustration. That the prisoner at the bar was a person of great craft and power of mind there could be no doubt, and when those sort of people got a poor simpleton with money into their clutches the result may very well be imagined. That Madame Rachel had Mrs. Bor rodaile's money seems plain to any person of com mon sense, for immediately after she got her firmly in her hold expensive luxuries were at once re quired, and just at this particular time an opera-box was started by the prisoner, not one of an insignificant character, but one in the most aristocratic portion of the house, namely, the pit tier, for which 400 guineas would have to be paid. Now, it must not be forgotten that just before this, notwithstanding the flourishing business which Madame carried on, she was behindhand in her rent, hut no sooner is the silly colonel's widow hooked than the ar rears were all paid, and the future rent re tained before it was due. The greatest amount of abuse had been lavished upon Mrs. Borrodaile as a worthless person, but he should be able to show that:she was a gentlewoman, a woman of honour, and a woman of the strictest virtue, who had been put through a slow process of plunder by the machinations and arts of the priso ner till she had been left penniless and friendless, and then was remorselessly thrust into jail because she could not meet her liabilities, claims which would easily have been paid had she not been so merci lessly plundered. And what had the poor woman got for her money ?

SUEZ, Sept. 25. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sumatra, from Bombay Bth instant, arrived at 9 p.m. yesterday. ALARMING ACCIDENT AT HULL. (Central Press Telegram). An alarming accident is reported from An old building, described as " Old Sugar House," Lime-street, fell at 11 o'clock this morning, burying no less than 40 persons beneath its ruins. The build ing has for some time past been used by Messrs. Walkers and Smith, for the storage of linseed. A large quantity appears to have been packed in the upper stories. The weight was too much for the building to bear, and the beams giving way, the house fell, carrying several of its neighbours with it. Forty people were buried in the debris. It is so far satisfactory to be able to add that three of the men who have been recovered are alive. Whether or not they are dan gerously wounded we are not informed. Two other bodies, however, had up to one o'clock been extri cated, and in each case the accident had proved fatal. The search was then still going on. LuNDON GAZETTE-THIS EVENING.

On the evening in question the deceased came home in a state of intoxication and commenced quarrel ling, end eventually a struggle took place between prisoner and Johnson. The latter fell to the ground from a wound inflicted with a kuife. The prisoner ran out of the house, and: in doing so was seen to throw a knife away. The wounded man was seen by a medical man, but he very soon expired. The wound was the cause of death. The jury found the prisoner guilty of man slaughter, and the learned Judge sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

(Greatlaughter.) With respect to the conduct of Mr. Haynes he could not speak in too severe terms, and the jury no doubt would estimate at its proper value the testimony he had gilien. His learned friend had at great length and with great eloquence defended the character of the two young ladies, daughters of the prisoner, and asked the jury whether they would be prepared to convict them of perjury. Well, he (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine) thought they would if they were proved to have committed it. With all due deference to his learned friend, he had to say that in the whole of his experience he had never met with two young ladies who had told so many untruths in so short a time. The learned sergeant concluded an able address, and trusted that the jury would find the prigoner guilty. Mr. Commissioner Kerr then proceeded t) charge the jury, but the verdict is not expected until a very late Lour. THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. -- O (REUTER'S TELEGIUMS.) MADRID, Sept. 23. The insurgents are concentrate I near Seville. They have abandoned Cordova. General Novaliches has arrived at Mengibar, iu the province of Jean, south of the Sierra Morena mountains. General Calonge is marching on San tinder. The insurgents have cut the railway com munications. At Grenada the people commenced firing upon the troops, but were vanquished after two hours' fighting. It is reported that a rising has taken place at Ceuta, and that great agitation prevails in Sara gossa. Armed bands have appeared in La Mancha, and the people have commenced joining them. The insurgents in Andalusia are provided with munitions of war, money, and provisions. The ironclad frigate Victoria arrived before the town of Corunna and demanded its surrender. The Government authorities, however, refused to com ply. Almost the whole of the Spanish fleet is now in the hands of the insurgents, who are expected to effect a landing in Catalonia. The Queen has not yet arrived at Madrid. It is said that in the last extremity she will take refuge in the citadel of Pampeluna, near the French fron tier. Count Girgenti has left for Andalusia at the head of his regiment. A great review has been held at Madrid to-day. MADRID, Sept. 25, 3 a.m. BOROUGH HOP.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--Uri Tuesday night, on the banks of the Clyde, ab)ut a mile below Glasgow, a cab, with two occupants, a man and a woman, while being driven along the narrow river road close to Govan Ferry, was by some inexplicable mishap thrawn into the water at a point whore it is very deep. An alarm was at once raised by those who witnessed the occurrence, and a neighbour ing ferryman hastened to the spot in a small boat. flo arrived just in time to save the driver, who was on the point of sinking through exhaustion. But cab, horse, and faros had all disappeared under water. In a short time, however, several constables arrived on the spot, and the cab was dragged for and raised. The body of the woman was found inside, but her companion's body had disap peared. Tho search was continued all night, but it was not till next forenoon that the other body was found at some distance from where the accident occurred.

"NEW NAMES FOR THE NAM—It seems generally admitted that the monstrous ships which lately have been. added to the navy are by no means worth the monstrous sums of money we have paid for them. Our big men-of-war in armour, which cost half a million each, are said to be as useless and unhandy in a sea-way as the ob3olete old man in armour who adorn a Lord Mayor's Show. Yet still we go. on building them, and naming them the Hercules, the Irre sistible, and so forth; as if the use of strong words for their christening would suffice to prove their strength. Would it not be wiser to call a spade a spa le, and to name our naval failures in a way that at a glanoe should designate their worth ? 'When we launch the broadside iron-clads which now aro in construction, instead of calling them by names such as the Powerful, the Valiant, the Dauntless, or the Thunderer, let us christen them the Wasteful, the Ex travagant, the Useless, or the Blunderer. There is small doubt that the navy will be always dear to England; but that, pecuniarily speaking, - it is dearer than it ought to be, the doubt is smaller still. Names such as we suggest might possibly awaken public notice to this fact, and by calling ships the Costly, the Gander, or the Jackass, we should identify them faithfully with blundering authori `ties, who sanction tho construction and leave us to pay their Cost.—Punch, ~~►- at 100 Bt 2J ist 24 1' 0 10 100 WO 100 all 100 12y 'Co 100 1100 2 100 100 1061 7 141 14 106} i 29'72r, 29'89 29'64 29'84 19.94 f, 3010 s.
