MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENtYtt Crry, Trro O'CLOCK. The Stock Markets are inactive, but the tone has been good, though the best prices have not so far been fully maintained. The Funds advanced a point, but they have since relapsed to the opening price without being sensibly weaker. Railways have fol lowed much the same course. They arc not so good as at the opening, but better than yesterday without any activity beyond that connected with the settlement. In the Foreign market the princi pal feature is a decline in American securities. Money is in abundant supply both in the open market and in the Stock Exchange. It is hardly possible to lend money. The terms for the best bills may be quoted at to 4 per cent. Consols opened firm, at an improvement of /, but have since returned to yesterday's price, at 921 to 921 for money and account. New and Reduced Three per Cents., 921 to 92/ ; India Five per Cents., 111 to 1111 ; Bank Stock, 240 to 242 ; Exchequer Bills, 225. to 275. prem. The demand for Foreign Stock keeps up. Turkish (1865) are I better, at 30f to 301; New Spanish 1, at 341 to 351 ; and Mexican 1, at 151 to 151 ; Greek show no change, at 12 to 121 ; Italian (1861), 42 to 421 ; Egyptian Railway Loan, 90 to 91; Brazilian (1865), 75 to 76 ; and Portu guese Scrip, 11 to 4 prem. American Securities are flat. United States Five -Twenty Bonds are lower, at 71/ to 711; Erie Railway and Illinois, each 1 worse, the former being quoted as 49 to 50, and . the latter at 871 to 88/. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have receded 1, to 24 26, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds I, to 22 23. Railways opened much firmer upon the scarcity of Stock for the settlement. There is now a rise of l in Great Northern, at 106 to 107 ; of I in Cale donian, at 73 to 731 ; of 1 in Sheffield, at 43* to 41 ; and Metropolitan, at 115 to 1151 ; of s in London and North Western, at 114 to 1141 ; of 4in Midland, at 103 to 1031; and 4in South- Eastern, at 67 to 671; in Great Western, at 45 to 45 1 ; and in Ch a th am , a t 18 ito 181. Lancashire and Yorkshire are quoted 122* to 123 ; Great Northern A, 1061 to 1071 ; and Brighton, 48 to 484. Upon the arrival of an official report of the con flagration at the St. John del Rey mines, the com pany's shares have declined to about 33, making the total fall on this account no less than £24 per share. The manager reports the fire to have been very serious, but the extent of the mischief cannot Yet be ascertained. The whole staff of miners are now at work clearing the mine. Bank Shares continue to decline. London and County are £1 lower, at 511 to 521 ; and Union of London, at 32 to 33 ; and London and Joint Stock, at 34 to 3 5, are 10s. lower. Alliance, 14 to 12 discount ; Metropolitan, 64 to 74 ; and Imperial, 18 t o 19. Atlantic Telegraph Preference shares are quoted prem. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. yesterday £12,000 in coin received from Lisbon Was sent into the Bank. The following remarks upon the prospects of the bullion market are from Messrs. 79uatta and G o ld sm id :—" Th e i nac ti v ity i n a ll de re—Ptions of sil ver st ill con ti nues , a n d the prices m ain without a lt erat i on, t h e on l y d eman d being for ; the Conti nent. The low state of the Indian exchanges_ ind uces many p eop l e to ant i c i pa t e i m p or t a ti o ns of silver from the East, but there must be a further decline of about 3 per cent. before such shipments can be profit a bl e. The arrivals of gold from America and i Australia have been on a large scale ; Or two unimportant exceptions, the wh but, with ono whole has been purchased for exportation, and there is still a fair !demand. The quotation of Exchange from New York, owever, is gradually declining, so that it is possible that im portations from that quarter may shortly cease." The Hermann has arrived from New York with X 23 0,500 i n spec i e f or th i s country, and the City of tendon with £236,400 in specie. Tho Atrato, from the We s t I n di es , b r i ngs £ 92,206 in specie. The °t rathdon has arrived from New South Wales in 88 ` La te with £12,828 in gold. The report of the Metropolitan B, auk (Limited) -ta tes after making provision for bad and doubtful debts, for interest paid to customers, as well as rebate and current expenses, the profit and loss account ex hibits a bal ance o f £12 , 392 6s 6d. (out of which an in terita dividend a tg t h e rate of 5 per cent, per annum w as paid to 30th June last), a result which, consider -I,ng the l ow rates of interest during the last year, will, is hoped, be deemed satisfactory. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent p e r annum (free of income tax) be declared, leaving ;t2,392 Gs Gd to be carried to the credit of profit and l ess new account. The directors of the International Financial Society na ve issued their report. The accounts show an available total of £45,118, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per a nnum free of income tax. Half of this having been paid by Way of interim interest in July last, the divi adend_ now payable will be 2s 6d per share. This, _alter providing for the nec essary amount to b e car !d .r 4, e the reserve fund, in conformity with Clause 25 of tarticles of association, will leave a balance of ,▪ u ,8 54 to b e carried forward to the next account?. directo rs h ave also decided upon recommending :Ciety t o to the sha re h o l ders the reduction of the capital of the torthis £1,500,000 i n £150,000 shares at £lO each, with £5 paid th ereon, and special resolutions purpose will be su b m i tte d to the shareholders after the termination of the ordinary business of the keeting. _ The half -yearly meeting of the Herne Bay, Hamp- T'o co n) and Reculver Oyster Fishery Company has been have for the 31st inst. ; and the Oyster Company ed.called their meeting for the same day, to receive the . di rectors' report ancrstatement of accounts. special general meeting of the New Zealand utst and Loan Company will be held on the 22nd s_., for the purpose of declaring an interim dividend. The following is the report of the directors of the Manchester and County Bank (Limited), to be pre sented at the half-yearly meeting, on Friday, the 24th of January :—" Including the ba l ance o f £4,156 4s 2d brought forward from the! previous half-yet , r, there is now a net profit r, P L £41,393 5s lld to be appropriated. Of this . amount the directors propose add £l5, will thus be Th') to the reserve fund, which raised to £120,000---to pay the usual dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, which together with the income tax, will absorb £15,203 12s ---and to carry forward £1,189 13s lld to profit and loss account of the present half-year. In order to make the paid-up capital of the bank an even amount 0f.£600,000, one hundred and one shares have been sold at a premium of £3 per share, being the market price of the day. The general business of the bank continues to increase ; and during the half-year a sub-branch has been opened at Colne. The ordinary general meeting of the Nortn Western Bank has been called for the 28th inst., to transact the ordinary business of the company. 'The directors of th e Birmingham Financial Com pany recommend a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum leaving a bal ance o f £ 1,155 to be carried forward. The report of the Victoria (London) Mining Com pany states that the directors are not able to declare a dividend for the past half-year, but, on the other band, to meet the existing liabilities, they have made a call of ls. per share, payable by the 10th of Feb ruary. A. Stock Exchange has been opened at Liege. The new Belgian law providing freedom in trade as to brokers has come into operation, and Brussels is now 1 free market. the same as London, Frankfort, Am sterdam, and G eneva. Th e rules of the Brussels Stock Exchange have been entirely revised with this view. duc The Hungarian L oan i s not expected to be intro in Paris before the 20th or the 22d inst., and it seems likely to meet with a favourable reception, both from the Bourse and from the public. It is estimated that 100,000 obligations out of the number into which the loan will be divided have been sub scribed in Hungary itself by anticipation. The excel lent harvest of last year has made money abundant there. Hungary will probably take one -seventh of the whole number of obligations.

Silver and Co.'s Colonial Circular :—"Victoria, Nov. 27, 1867. Trade has considerably improved. In breadstuffs, during the past fortnight about 36,000 bushels of wheat, and 1,600 tons of flour have been quitted. Sugars have been dealt in extensively ; 28,500 bags of Mauritius and about 16,310 bags of Bourbon have changed hands. In wool, 7,187 bales were sold in Melbourne, and over 900 in Geelong ; prices, 7d to 12d for grease, and 11W. to 2:*l for fleece. The J. M. Joshua and the Australian sailed for London on the 231, the former taking 4,753, and the latter 4,94 S bales of wool. The Duke of Edinburgh had a splendid reception on the 25th. On landing at Sandridge he was received by the Governor-General Chute, &c., proceeded thence I , y road to Melbourne, where the President of the Le.,.; s. lative Council presented an address in .the presence of 40,000 persons. The city was illuminated at night. A 37 oz. nugget of solid gold was taken from Gorman's Claims, Jericho, since last advices. 30,000 0. of gold passed through Kilmore last week with the Beechworth, Jamieson, and Ghia Ghin escorts. On 30th Sept. the number of mines in the colony was 66,243, of whom 18,092 were Chinese. The area f the land mined upon 818 square miles, and the quartz reefs reported to be auriferous, 2,421. The large s t num b er o f m i ners are employed at Ballarat (13,871), Castlemaine and Sandhurst come next in order. A favourable change in the weather has removed the fears entertained by the farmers ; and, although rust exists in many early fields of wheat, the late crops promise so well that it is anti cipated the supply will again exceed the demand for home consumption. It is estimated that the fat sheep in Victoria and the adjoining parts of New South Wales are 3,000,000 in excess of the present carrying capabilities of the land ; boiling down continues in all parts of the colony, but on too small a scale. Victorian Railway revenue for October, £16,956 ; Melbourne and Hobson Bay Rail way, for week ending 14th November, £1,968 against £2,190 last year. Imports to 16th, £9,801,723 against £12,233,454 last year. Exports, £9,688,348 against £10,040,723 in 1866.

Efforts are now being made to raise and move the wreck by degrees, until at length it is beached on the Cheshire shore. The work is necessarily slow, but it proceeds satisfactorily. REMOVAL OF THE MAGDALEN HOSPITAL—The old Magdalen Hospital, which has been established very many years for the reception of "unfortunates," and the reclaiming of fallen women, is about to be removed from its present locality in the Blackfriars-road to Streatham, and the committee appointed to make arrangements for the new institution have secured an eligible site, andrapid pro gress is being made for the removal of the old Magdalen and the erection of the now building. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT A SALE.—At the Hotel Drouot, Paris, the other day, a singular occurrence took place. At a sale of autographs were put up a draft of the will of Anne of Austria—another paper containing the inventory of the jewels of that Queen preserved in the Palace of the Louvre ; the will of the painter iiig nard, drawn up ,by himself; and that of the painter Rigaud. A notary stepped forward, and claimed thes3 documents as having been taken from among the papers in his office, and he opposed the sale by virtue of an order which he had procured from the President of the Civil Tribunal. The claimant has brought an action for the recovery of these documents. SAD CATASTROPHE.—A terrible occurrence is re ported from Mantes (Seine et Oise), in which 19 persons have lost their lives. A countryman named Fouchet laid a wager that he would drive a heavily laden hay waggon across the Seine on the ice. When half way over, the vehicle stopped and 28 persons went to the aid of the driver. Suddenly the ice gave way under the weight and all were swallowed up. Two boatmen, Bourdet Pinagues and Hottot, succeeded in saving nine persons, but the others were drowned. Among the victims was M. Canat, the mayor of Portchville.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) BALLARD V. GERY.-AN EXPENSIVE HUNTING BOX. This was . an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the rent of a hunting box, the amount of a bill of exchange, and the dilapidations done the box above mentioned. Mr. B. Rigby appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. iVills for the defendant. The facts were these :—ln May last the plaintiff, who has an estate near Malvern, in Gloucestershire, consisting of a house and some lands attached to it, and which is close to one of the hunts in that county, let it to the defendant, who is a gentleman living upon his means, and who is described as a man of jovial habits. The parties were on terms of intimacy, and continued to be so after the defen dant occupied the house. It was alleged, on the part of the defendant, that the house had been put into thorough repair by him, that it had cost £2OO, that he had from time to time lent him money, and that he had given him a bill of exchange ; and also that he had led a very jolly life then, the house being full of his friends, that they were up to all sorts of jokes between them, had pulled the place nearly to pieces, and this in a period only extending from July to September. The tenancy had been a yearly one, and therefore a year's rent could be claimed. The bill had been dishonoured, and the defendant refused to pay any thing. Defence was that the plaintiff had no agree ment, that he would not let the defendant have money, that he never repaired the place, and that no dilapi dations had been permitted. it was also alleged that the plaintiff had been in prison for debt, and was not likely to ba in a position to pay £2OO for repairs. To this it was answered that he had al ways paid those debts, and therefore that showed that he had money. A servant of the defendant proved that he had seen plaintiff give him money on several occasions. The jury, after hearing both the learned counsel, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—.£B9 10s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. SUNDAY EVENINGS FOR THE. PEOPLE.—The adjourned proceedings in this case were resumed to-day before the chief magistrate, Sir T. llenry. It will be recollected that on the first occasion a summons was taken out against the former pro- prietors of St. Martin's-hall, for an iufringemeni of the 21st of Geo. 111., cap. 49, by the giving of an entertainment on Sunday evening by a so ciety calling themselves " Recreative Christians." Mr. Baxter Langley was the principal mover in these " Sunday Evenings for the People," and they were instituted in a great measure by the Sunday League, whose object was to obtain the opening of certain public places of amusement on Sundays. The summons was originally granted upon the information of Robert Baxter, the chair man of the Lord's-day Observance Society. Mr. Clark (on the part of Messrs. Baxter, Rose, and Norton) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Besley (on the part of Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe) appeared for the defendants. The programmes issued on the occasion stated that there would be a musical introduction on the organ, then an address on the part of Mr. Baxter Langley, after which followed a variety of sacred music, selected from various oratorios, Miss Rose Hersee, Mr. R. Mason, and Mr. Welch being ad vertised as the principal solo vocalists. The plan of admission was set forth as being free, but there were various portions of the hall to which admis sion could only be had on the purchase of tickets. The great point to ba - decided was whether these entertainments were contrary to the Act of Geo. 111., the first s ection of which was to the following effect:—" That from and a ft er th e pass ing of this act, any house which shall be opened or used for public entertainment or amusement, or for publicly debating on any subject whatsoever, upon any part of the Lord's -day, called Sunday, and to which persons shall be admitted by the payment of money, or by tickets sold for money, shall be deemed a disorderly house, and the keeper of such house shall forfeit the sum of two hundred pounds for every day that such house shall be opened or used on the Lord's-day to such person as will sue for the same, and be otherwise punishable as the law directs in cases of disorderly houses." Sir Thomas Henry said the case had been post poned on the former occasion in order that both parties might agree upon a special case for the de cision of the superior courts. Mr. Besley said they had been unable to agree, and therefore they had to ask the Court to decide upon the terms of the case to be submitted to the Court for argument. Mr. Clark said the name of the actual person against whom the proceedings were directed was one case of dispute. Mr. Besley said he was quite willing that it should be clearly understood that Mr. Baxter Langley, who was connected with the Sunday League, should be looked upon as the actual defendant. That being agreed to, the learned magistrate thought the fact that tickets were issued and taken with the programme, would clearly s tato the case for argument. Mr. Besley thought that it also ought to be men tioned that the hall had been registered under the Toleration Act as a place of religious worship. Sir T. Henry said he did not recollect that any thing was said about that on the last occasion. Mr. Besley—The question the Court would have to decide was whether the Hall was on the occasion a place of public amusement. Sir T. Henry said that it would have to be de cided by the Court whether the registration under the act authorised such au entertainment as that advertised by the defendants. He thought if the case stopped at the announcement with respect to the issue of tickets, the court would decide whether the place was one of public entertainment or not. Mr. Besley was quite agreeable to that. Sir T. Henry th oug h t t h a t, as the hall had been converted into a theatre, all proceedings in the matter had been d roppe d , b u t he presumed that it had been thought necessary t o proceed with the case with respect t o o th er p l aces . Mr. Clark said it was so. He thought if the registration of the hall was ma d e a p o int, there was no reason why Punch and Judy might not be re gistered. Sir T. Henry said that could be stated to the court. Mr. Clark—lt was an attempt to evade an act of Parliament, and therefore he felt it necessary that the greatest care - should be taken in agreeing to the terms of the case. Mr. Besley said the matter was, in fact, a ques tion between the Sunday League and the_Lord's day Observance Society. Mr, Clark said the fact was whether these mtetings were religious or irreligious and the de sire to hold them was an attempt to overthrow the act of Parliament The proper way to proceed, if the act was objectionable, was to go to Parliament and get it repealed. Various points were then agreed to as forming part of the case, one of which was that the associa tion should be described as an association for the development of religious feeling. l\ir. t i 3 t e o s 1 e /8 - 0 O. T e penalties th e p rosecu ti on go f or a Mr. Clark said he had no objection that the pro ceedings should be confined to the inflicting one he would not bind him selfpen a t l o ty a o n f y i t h 2 i o n o g ; e h l s o e i . v ever, Sir T. Henry had no doubt the entering of one penalty against the defendant would be found quite sufficient. A long discussion then ensued between the learned gentlemen as to the other terms of the case, Mr. Clark wishing to embrace a summary of the whole of the programme issued by the defendant with respect to the nature of the music performed, the lectures delivered, and the prices charged for the different portions of the hall. Sir T. Henry thought that the case was being unnecessarily lengthened, but he remarked that he had no power to close the discussion. The groat point to De decided wag whether the program me which it was not denied was performed, was an in fringement of the act of Parliament, and quite enough had already been agreed to raise that point. Mr. Besley thought that it ought to be clearly set forth in the case that no debating took place or was intended to take place on any subject what ever. Sir T. Henry thought no objection to that could be raised. It having been decided that one penalty only should be proceeded for, the parties then withdrew, with the understanding that in the event of any further difficulty arising both parties could again appear in court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A THIEF DETECTED THROUGII A DOG.—Eliza Edwards, described as a charwoman, was charged before Mr. Trywhitt with the following robbery : Mr. Charles Collins, microscope maker, of No. 77, Great 'litchileld-street, sail—Last night, in consequence of our dog growling, my wife, who was in the kitchen, called me down stairs, when I found the prisoner in a passage leading to the area. I asked her why she was there, and she said that a sailor who was up-stairs had brought her there. I told her to come into the kitchen while I found out more about her, and when she moved I saw at her feet partly screened three jackets and three dresses belonging to my servant. The prisoner pretended to be drunk, but was not. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was there any sailor in the house? _ _ Mr. Collins—No, sir. Emily Richardson, servant to Mr. Collins—The articles produced are my property, and of the value of £3. I left them hanging up in my bedroom. Police-constable Crouch, 70 E-1 was called to 77, Great Titchfield-street, and found prisoner in the kitchen. Mr. Collins charged her with stealing one of his servants' clothing, when she said that she was brought to the house by a sailor ; but there was no sailor there. At the station she said she knew nothing of the things. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you wish the case settled here or to go to a jury ? • Prisoner—Settle it here. Mr. Tyrwhitt —ls the prisoner known ? Constable—Not at present. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall send the prisoner to prison for three months with hard labour. I fear she is one of a race called " area sneaks." THAMES. ROBBERY IN THE WEST INDIA. DOCK.—Henry Murphy, shipkeeper, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a pound and a half of tea, three-quarters of a pound of colee, three and a half pounds of sugar, two and a half yards of canvas, and three pounds of bacon. Henry Young, constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, stated that the prisoner was leaving the West India dock at the principal gateway and searched him. He found the above-named property upon him, and ascertained that he was the shipkeeper of the Avon, a ship lying in the dock. He asked the prisoner to give some account of his possession of the property, and he gave several, none of which were true. The sugar, tea, coffee, bacon, and canvas were part of the stores of the ship, of which the prisoner was in charge. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. A VERY BAD THIEF.—John Smith, a coarse lad, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Paget on a charge of stealing two loaves of bread, the property of Rose Anna Jungblat, a baker of 4, Brunswick street, Poplar. A few days since the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutrix, put his arm over the brass guard at the corner of the window-board, and took away a 41b. loaf. lie ran away, and soon outstripped all his pursuers. Three hours afterwards he again en tered the shop and helped himself to another loaf. Mrs. Jungblatt called out, "There he goes, taking , another loaf." She gave information to the police and the prisoner was subsequently apprehended. The Prisoner---I never stole any bread. 1 pai 1 her for it. Mrs. Jungblat—lle has taken bread from my :hop very often. lie took two loaves at one time a fortnight before, and said, " Good bye, ma'am.' (A laugh.) The Prisoner—l never took any bread ; she gave it me. Mrs.-Jungblat—No, I did not. I cannot afford to give my bread away. A police-constable said the prisoner was con victed in June last for stealing a packet of corn flour, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. THE ALLEGED FALSE LIGHTS OFF WHITBURN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l trust you will give insertion in The Sun to the following copy of a letter from Mr. C. Hutchinson, collector at Whitburn, near Sunderland, on the subject of the oft-repeated charge made against the Whitburn fishermen of exhibiting false lights off that place, with the wicked object of luring ships to destruction. These fishermen have often dis tinguished themselves, as I know from many years' experience, by their zealous and daring services in saving shipwrecked crews; and, considering that they have come to a resolution not to go afloat again in the lifeboat of this institution at Whit burn to save life until this serious imputation on their character has been satisfactorily removed by a Government inquiry, I earnestly trust that im mediate steps will be taken by the Board of Trade to clear up the apparent mystery in regard to these false lights which has too long remained in abey ance, and which 1. sincerely believe is a libel on these poor, brave, and deserving men.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD LEWIS. Royal National Lifeboat Institution, 14, John street, kdelphi, W.C., Jan. 13. " Wbitburn, Jan. 10. " Sir,—The importance of the subject I hope will be a sufficient apology for trespassing on you with regard to the unfounded charges which are publicly made against the Whitburn fisher men respecting the false lights. A more base, cruel, and unfounded charge could not be made. I have, as ship agent, had the charge of nearly all the wrecks that have been on this coast for thirty years, and I believe there has never been such a thing as false lights. I have taken the depositions of most of the captains when they came on shore, who stated that they had not seen any lights to mislead them. The thing was set at rest when investigated by Admiral Collinson and others, but is again stirred up from a dis covery made by Captain Kirby. The fact is, the discovery made by Captain Kirby was put into the chimney of the hut, which is uninhabited, by some boys two years ago, to tease an old man who was then watching shipwrecked stores. The boys have come forward to prove the same. The report has had a painful effect on the fishermen ; they have had a meeting upon the subject, and passed the following resolu tions : Ist. " That this meeting, considering the unfounded charges which are publicly made against the Whitburn fishermen as a body of men, with regard to what are called false lights, here by pass a resolution to petition the Board of Trade to inquire into the matter on the spot by sending a commissioner for the purpose ; and 2d, that until some inquiry is made, the fisher men will refuse to give any assistance to shipwrecked sailors, either by lifeboat or any other way. Ido think it will be well if you can promote the object of an inquiry, as the matter, if fairly investigated, will, I am sure, free the fishermen and all parties from such a charge. A better body of men for exerting themselves to save life at the risk of their own cannot be found. It is a fact that nearly all the vessels which come ashore here are worn-out old colliers, which to the owners are better lost than otherwise, and the false lights, so called, a 'nice excuse for the captains.—Your obedient servant, " C. HUTCHINSON. "Richard Lewis, Esq., National Lifeboat Institution, London." SPECIAL CONSTABLES. LAM B ETH.—Yesterday evening a large meeting of the special constables of this parish was held at the Lambeth Baths, under the presidency of Mr. T. Tilson, J.P. Amongst those present were the Rev. J. Lingham, rector of Lambeth ; . Colonel Ewart, C. 8., Mr. Phillips, J.P., Mr. Burnett, J.P., Mr. Terry, J.P., Mr. Charles Cullambell, J.P., Dr. Dalby, J.P. ; Captains Knobell, Glubb, and Fowler ; Lieut. Hussey, Messrs. Menton, jun., Maull, Captain Driver, Mr. Long, Capt. de Salis, &c. The Chairman, i❑ opening their proceedings, said that they had asembled to show what Englishmen could do in the cause of peace and order. Their duty was to protect their own awl their neighbours' property in case of an emer gency which might call the police away from the parish. Ile hoped that there would be no occasion 'or their services, but if there should be he was sure :hat the Government would bc ably supported by the loyal, true-hearted Englishmen of the county of Surrey. (Cheers.) The Rev. J. Lingham moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting desired to express its abhorrence and indignation at the recent diabolical outrages perpetrated at Clerkenwell and elsewhere, whereby the lives of her Majesty's sub "jects had been sacrificed and numerous persons had been seriously injured, property destroyed, and the public peace disturbed ; and that the meeting was prepared and determined, as good and loyal citi zens enrolled as special constables, to sustain the authority of her Majesty's Government, and by all other constitutional means to aid in suppressing any disturbance which might arise. (Cheers.) The meeting also desired to express its thanks to the Government for the prompt and vigorous action it had taken to uphold peace, law, and order, and to maintain the authority and dignity of the Crown. The motion having been seconded by Mr. James Stiff, it was put to the meeting and carried by acclama tiou. Colonel Ewart said that he was very glad to be present at so large a meeting of this kind. He considered that great praise was due to the men of Lambeth for coming forward as they had done so readily and heartily. There had been, he was told, 2,800 men enrolled as special constables up to the present time, and they ranked, therefore, among the larger numbers of the different parishes. He was by profession a supporter of law and order, and it gratified him very much to see two large vo lunteer forces available for the protection of their homes and hearths--he meant the rifle volunteers, who were a military force, and the special con stables, who were a volunteer civil force. (Loud cheers.) Great thanks were due to the daily papers for the readiness with which they had published and made generally known the duties and orders issued with respect to the special constables. (Cheers.) lit was necessary that the special con stables should be drilled and practised to move in companies ; but it would be very inconsiderate to call out men who had been working hard all day in order to give them undue drilling ; although he was sure that if an emergency should arise they would turn out to a man. (Great cheers.) The principal requirements were that they should know how to move with rapidity, energy, and certainty. The object of this enrolment was, supposing that mischief was threatened in several parts of the metropolis at once that there would be a sufficieu t force available to be thrown on these certain points, and so effectually defend this large city. The special constables were to be looked to for the protection of their own individual parishes, so as to allow the police to be the moving body. The measures that had been taken were only precautionary, and he hoped there would be no need of their services. The Irish were as a body loyal, and he hoped that there were many present among their ranks. (Cheers.) If the Lambeth men were not called out they were not to be disappointed, but should re member that " prevention was better than cure," and that the movement had in all probability pre vented terrible mischief which but for this great and universal movement might have happened. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and after Captain Fowler had complimented the loyalty of Englishmen in general, and special con ' stables in particular at some length, the proceedings were terminated by those present singing " God save the Queen." During last week the employes of several large firms have been enrolled. Amongst them were those of Messrs. Clowes and Co., Messrs. Doulton and Co., the Lion Brewery Company, Messrs. Lawrence and Co., Mr. Webster (contractor), Messrs. Noble and Hoare, Messrs. Maudslay and Co., &c. The general feeling is very strong against Fenianism in this parish, and great numbers of working men have enrolled themselves as special constables. ST. BRIDE'S, FLEET-STREET.—Yesterday after noon Alderman Sir James Duke and Alderman Sir R. W. Carden sat at the vestry of St. Bride's, for the purpose of swearing-in the well-disposed inhabi tants who had previously given in their names as special constables. The vestry clerk, Mr. Edmunds, and the churchwardens, Messrs. Smalley and Lloyd, assisted the aldermen in swearing in the specials, who comprised the principal tradesmen and shop keepers, a few of the workmen employed at the City of London, gasworks (the majority of the men employed at this establishment having already been sworn in at Guildhall), and the workmen at the various printing-offices in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street; altogether more than 400 were en rolled, and the aldermen will have to sit on another occasion to swear in more of the inhabitants. Mr. Lockey was appointed superintendent, and Mr. Childs, of Stonecutter-street, and Mr. Heath, Bride-lane, deputy superintendents of the specials for the district. Hominy', &c.—Yesterday Mr. Bodkin and Col. Jeakes were engaged, for some time, at the High gate Petty Sessions Court, swearing in special con stables for Hornsey, Friern, Barnet, and adjoining parishes. A large number of persons have come forward during the past fortnight. A very neat armlet, bearing the initials of St. Mary, Hornsey, has been provided, and staves similar to those pro vided for the ordinary constables. The men em ployed at the Hornsey gas-works have been sworn in, and a meeting will shortly be held for the pur pose of appointing a superintendent and adopting other measures of organisation. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.—Messrs. White and Stilwell sat again yesterday,at the vestry offices, from eleven a.m. to eleven p.m., for the purpose of swearing in special constables, and the number en rolled for this division is now about 2,300. Upwards of 100 members of the. Havelock Rifle Volunteers, headed by Lieut.-Col. George Cruikshank, Major and Adjutant Hockley, and several other officers, were amongst those enrolled.. Previous to the com mencement of the proceedings they were addressed by Mr. White, the chairman of the bench, who pointed out to them that the enemies they would have, in the capacity of special constables, to contend against would not meet them fairly and openly on the field, but would endeavour togain their ends by treachery and by cowardly attacksupon the weak and helpless. Several officers and men of the 19th Middlesex (Working were sworn in. Men's College co r p s ) also attended, and ASSAULT BY GAMEKEEPERS. —On Monday, at th e Town Hall, llungerford, William Teal and Isaac Waters, the former head-gamekeeper to the Marquis of Donegal], were charged with unlawfully wounding llenry Rolfe, a basketmaker, at Inkpon. The prisoners were d r iving along a road ono night, when Rolfe put his hands on the back of the cart in the hope of having a ride. Teal, however, without a word, struck him heavy blows with a loaded life preserver, and, not satisfied with that, got off the vehicle and beat him most unmercifully. Rolfe stag gered to a house that was near, and for some time re mained in a precarious state. Ile suffered from concussion of the brain, and his life was in considerable jeopardy. The only reason alleged for the outrage was that Teal fan cied Rolfe intended to take some game out of the cart. Both men were remanded, the injured man being unable to leave his bed. " FREEING" IRELAND.—In a recent speech at Boston, United States, Mr. G. F. Train said—" Mr. Powers is on the stage, one of the rescuers of Kelly, who has just arrived from Manchester. I ask him, are there more men ready to take his place (meaning the places of O'Brien, Larkin, and Allen)? Yes, 300 as ready to die. Look at Clerkenwell : what if 20 innocent people died ? We killed a million for the negro. (Cries of " That's so.") Let them die zuau Dy ram No that uelund is au."
