&TONEY MAREIiT AND COMMERCIAL TELL7Ggrc,t: CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business was dull to-day, and shortly after open ing Consols were to be purchased at a reduction of ; but about noon the price of yesterday was regained and maintained. In Railway Shares the prices for most lines remain unaltered. In the Discount Market the rate for three months' bills is 1,1 and for loan 1 per cent. is still the rate on the Stock Exchange. There is no truth in the rumour of a further Russian railway loan. Some large amounts of gold are being withdrawn for Scotland to arrange transactions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The return of paid clearing for the week ending Nov. 4, issued from the Bankers' Clearing-house, signed J. C. Pocock, Deputy-Inspector, is as fol lows :—Thursday, 29th, £8,471,000 ; Friday, 30th, £27,198,000 ; Saturday, 31st, £13,019,000; INlon day, November 2d, 17,848,000 ; Tuesday, 3d, £10,101,000 ; Wednesday, 4th, 1,12,710,000 ; total, £79,347,000. We have received the following on the subf..!ct of Venezuela Bonds :—" Lord Stanley having given notice„an the Gazette of the 30th October last, that all British subjects having claims against the Go 'eminent of Venezuela are requested to forward the same to the British Legation at Caracas by the 9th of January, 1869, numerous bondholders have addressed inquiries to the committee of Venezuelan bondholders how they are to act i❑ consequence of that notice. The committee, therefore, beg to in form the bondholders that they will duly forward and present the claims of all the bondholders in due time to the British Legation at Caracas, and that they will strongly urge the British GJvernment nJt to allow that opportunity to pass without insisting on a satisfactory settlement of the Venezuelan debt. Bondholders desirous of forwarding their claims personally are at liberty to do so. We have rec,:ived the following letter relative to the Bank of Bombay TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln May last a commission was issued to in quire into the causes and circumstances attending the failure of this bank. The commission was issued under an Act of the Governor-General of India in Council (Act No. 17 of 1868), which re ceived the Governor-General's assent on 20th Way last. The commissioners opened the inquiry in Bombay, and took evidence, and have adjourned to England. Act 31 and 32 Vic., c. 63, of our Legis lature, gives the commissioners necessary powers in this country, and direct the inquiry to be held in public. The commissioners open the inquiry here on Monday, the 9th inst at eleven o'clock, at the India Office, in room No. 200. The share holders are anxious that the inquiry should have full publicity, and we write in their interests to draw attention to the fact that the inquiry is about to open. You may think too that the matter is one of public interest, and particularly as the com missioners are also charged by the Secretary of State for India to inquire into the connection of the Indian Government banks with the State.--We are, air, your obedient servants, GRAHAM AND LYDE. 2 and 2, Mitre-court Chambers, Temple, E.C., Nov. 5. _ _ • . A meeting of the importers of wool was held Yesterday for the purpose of fixing a day for the commencement of the next series of colonial wool sales; but in consequence of the uncertainty about the elections, it was adjourned to Tuesday next. At the half-yearly meeting of the West Flanders Railway Company yesterday, a dividend of ss. 6d. per share was decided. A dividend of 19s. per share for the past half year has been declared by the Vauxhall Bridge Company. The difficulties of a small Indian and Colonial agency were the subject of conversation yesterday afternoon, but the engagements are understood to be of a satisfactory character. The return, of one or two drafts has caused the embarrassment. Bills of exchange on the Government of Ceylon for 250.000 rupees were disposed of yesterday by tender at the offices of the Crown agents for the colonies. The minimum was fixed at ls. 1 lid. per rupee, r.nd the whole amount was taken at and above that rate. It appears that the Portuguese Government, having lately obtained a limited temporary loan at Paris and Frankfort at the rate of 16 per cent. ou the security of internal stock hypothecated at an extremely low price, are ilbw negotiating at Paris for a much larger loan to be introduced for public subscription. If the appeal be simply ad dressed to French investors, no remonstrance will be necessary here, but shauld the slightest attempt be made to obtain further sums in London the Whole history of recent Portuguese finance must be recapitulated, in which case the Gouernuaent may rely that not a shilling will be obtained from this Bide.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, arrived at the Castle this morning at ten minutes before nine o'clock from Balmoral. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT, An accident, resulting in the loss of four lives, as well as severe injuries to several other persons, and the destruction of a large number of cattle, occurred last night, shortly after ten o'clock, near the Bull's Pill Station, on the South Wales Rail way. The ordinary up mail train leaving Milford Haven at 5 p.m. had arrived at a point of the railway between Gatcomb and Newnham stations, and was proceeding at full speed, when, on round ing a curve in the line, it came suddenly upon a special cattle train, conveying a large quantity , of stock and several drovers, which at the mo ment was with difficulty mounting an incline at this spot. The first intimatioit the driver had of an obstruc tion was the red lights on the break at the tail of the cattle train. There was no time to sound an alarm. In an instant the Rob Roy, one of the powerful broad gauge engines belonging to the Great Western Railway, was upon the train, and com pletely crushed the break van and a large number of cattle trucks. There were six drovers travelling with the guard in his van. Of these three were instantly killed the guard and two drovers. A third drover died immediately afterwards, and the other poor fellows were removed to Glocester, suffering severe injuries. A great number of cattle were killed and injured, so as to render it necessary to slaughter them on the spot. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS. S. A.

ASSAULTS BY A GANG.—Chas. Joyce, 17 ; Robert Bunkell, 17 ; and Jas. Wheeler, 18, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with assaulting, with in tent, to rob George Howship, a plumber, at Lisson grove ; Robert Croft, of 44, Arlington-street, Camden-town ; ani Henry Hind, a stableman, of 89, Dane-street, Berkeley-square. From the evidence it appeared that about one o'clock that morning the complainant and others, after leaving their club at the Coach and Horses, Grosvenor-mews, were walking along Dane-street, when they were met by the prisoners, and two of their companions, who had bludgeons in their hands, and a row took place, in the course of which the three complainants were struck with the bludgeons, but not much hurt. The prisoners said they had been to Primrose wh2re there had been a row, and they there picked up the bludgeons, and while on their way home down Dane-street, the complainants and their friends pushed against them, and there mis row, and Joyce said that while on the ground lie was struck and kicked by one of the complainants. B. Webb, 112 C, said that Joyce was very vio lent. He forced on Wheeler a book called the " Boy Buccaneer." He had seen two of the pri soners hanging about the neighbourhood for some time, and doing no work. Joyce said he cDuld have a good character. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he did not think it was the prisoners' intention to rob, although it might have been so. He should deal with the case as one of assault, and flue the prisoners 40s. each, or a month in default. SHARE LIST. OR.DINARY SHAIIES AND STOCKS. Paid.

FEARFUL ASSAULT.—John Walker, aged 21, who was d. scribed as a shoemaker, of No. 56, Cable street, St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and disor derly, using bad language, and assaulting John Gallafeul, beerhouse keeper, at No. 200, White chapel-road, and Mrs. Mary Ann Gallafeul, Lis wife. He was further charged with breaking a large pane of embossed glass, the property of Mr. Gallafeul. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the pri soner. _ _ Mr. George Sheffield, house-surgeon of the Lon don Hospital, was the first witness called, and he said Mrs. Gallafeul was brought there last night with her eye fearfully lacerated. She would lose the sight of it, and he believed it would be neces sary to remove the eye.. Mr. Benson—ls the ball of the eye lacerated? Mr. Sheffield—Yes, sir. It was such an accident as might be produced by glass. Mr. Gallafeuil said that a few minutes before 11 last night he was called upon by his pottnan to re move the prisoner, who was making use of coarse language, and grossly insulting Mrs. Gallafeul. lie told the prisoner to leave the house, which he re fused to do, and with the assistance of Mrs. Galla feul he proceeded to remove him, and after much trouble ejected him from the house and closed the door upon him. The prisoner had no sooner reached the street than he sent his fist through a large pane of glass and smashed it. Its doing so some of the broken glass struck Mrs. Gallafeul on the eye, and divided the ball of it. His wife was im mediately taken into the neighbouring hospital. In answer to Mr. Charles Young, The witness said the prisoner did not get drunk in his house. He deliberately struck the glass with his fist. The value of the glass was £3. Mr. Benson—The prisoner has inflicted a fearful injury, which I hope he did not intend. After some further evidence the case was ad journed for a fortnight on the prisoner giving good bail. His mother, a shopkeeper, offered herself as a surety, and said she paid rates. Her bail was accepted. ASSAULT ON TUE RlVER.—James Kelly, a board ing-house keeper in Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Benson on a summons charging him with assaulting Walter Scott, a police constable of the Thames division. Mr. Cumberland, a barrister, appeared for the Board of Trade, who ordered this prosecution. The complainant was stationed on board the ship Somerset as she was coming up the river on the 27th of last month, and his orders w ere to prevent all strangers coining on board until the ship was moored iu the East India Dock. The defendant came alongside 'in a boat on the river, off the dock buoy at Blackwall, before the ship en tered the dock, and went up the fore chains until he reached the deck. The defendant then jumped on the ship's rails. lle was ordered to retire or come aft and see the captain of the ship. lie refused to do either, and made use of some rough language, and made two blows at the constable, which the latter avoided. The defendant then got into his boat, and took up one of the sculls, with which he made a blow at Scott, who was standing on a spare spar looking over the bul warks of the ship. The end of the scull hit the constable on the chest. In cross-examination the complainant said—l did not say to you, " I will have you before the devil will have you." Captain William Hicks, the master of the Somerset, said he gave the order that no strangers should be allowed on board until the ship was within the dock gates. William Sedgwick, an officer of customs, saw the defendant strike at the officer three times. For the defence, Kelley called Samuel Jones, ordinary seaman on board the Somerset, who said the constable pulled the defendant by the coat and said, "I'll have you before the devil has yon," and then took up a belaying pin and said, " I'll have you before the devil has you," and threatened to beat his skull in. Luke Burke said he rowed the defendant along side the Somerset. ➢ir. Kelly went up the fore chains and came down again almost immediately. The boat shoved off, and the defendant did not strike at the complainant with one of the sculls. Sedgwick was recalled, and said that the com plainant did not take up a belaying pin. Mr. Benson said an assault was wade out. The defendant had no right on board the Somerset be fore the ship was moored, and was attempting to break the law. No injury was done to the com plainant, and he should therefore inflict a miti gated penalty of 40s. and 28. costs. The fine was immediately paid. W ESTMINSTE R. SERIOUS CHARGE.—William Eadon, the son of a highly respectable tradesman in Westminster, was charged with being concerned with others in burglariously breaking and entering the house, 15, Coburg-row, Westminster, and stealing therein £75 in gold in a bag, with an extensive quantity of wearing apparel, the whole value near £lOO, the goods and moneys of Mr. Leaby, a general dealer. Mr. W. D. Smith, of Rochester-row, defended. On Saturday morning last, about five o'clock, the premises of the Leabys, who are very respectable, hard-working hawkers, were broken into and the property mentioned stolen ; the matter was placed in the hands of Morgan and Upson, detectives of the B division, who apprehended the prisoner at night in a public-house; the prisoner's landlady swore he left the house at 10 minutes to four that morning of the robbery, and came back at nine, having gold in his possession in the evening ; a witness, named John Causton, swore to his seeing two men near the spot at half-past five in the morn ing ; and the landlady's son, Richard Paton, swore he was there at a quarter to six with two men, and spoke to him It was elicited in cross-examination that Mrs. Paton, the prisoner's wife, quarrelled on the Satur day, and that although young Paton had se in the prisoner, as he alleged, early on Saturday morning, he did not give information till the Monday after noon. Witnesses were called as to character after an urgent address by Mr. Smith, and Prisoner was remanded, bail in £lOO being forth , coming.

TQ rti§el.ll6lllt.] CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. 'FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, Dtovember 5. Under the improving and embellishing hand of rumour, the difficulty between M. Rouher and Marshal Niel is represented to be very serious. There is much, if not conclusive, evidence that the two Ministers engaged in something like a personal quarrel, that the , Emperor interfered, and that they had "become frienth; again." But it seems that Marshal Niel is not inclined to take this view of the situation. He does not conceal the fact that ho is in disagreement with his colleagues. He would have been content to remain in the Cabinet provided he might have preserved his autonomy, as it were, and remain at the council table the opponent of peace and the advocate of the necessity of war. But there must be some sort of concord amongst Ministers. It is said therefore, that Marshal Niel has again offered his resignation, but it has been again decl:ned. The last session of the present Corps L4gislatif is to be a very short one. It will be opened about the 15th of December, or a little later, and will close in March. Then we shall have the elections. The prefects have already been engaged in drawing up estimates of the strength of the various parties. In this work, which is done before every election, they seldom unneces sarily say anything unfavourable to the Government ; but this time they have been compelled to announce that the Opposition has made great advances. A mysterious disappearance has occurred, and no traces have been found of the lost individuals. M. Lecoq de Boisbandrau, a young and unmarried advo cate, was in the habit of undertaking longpedestrian tours. In September he started on a journey to Switzerland and Upper Italy, and has not since been heard of. His friends have now abandoned all hopes of again seeing him alive. The last heard of him was on the 29th September, at which date he left Scopello for Domo-d'Ossola; his trunk, which had been sent on to the latter place, arrived in safety, but the owner never appeared. On leaving Scopello he was seen with a stranger of respectable appear. ance, who also has not since been heard of. He may have been murdered, or he may have perished by the inunda tions, though his body has not been discovered since the waters began to recede. A curious hunting incident happened the other day at Anost. A deer was started, and, in some inexplicable manner, was lost near a cottage. The huntsmen searched for some time in vain, but, attracted by a noise in the cottage, entered. The deer had taken refuge under a bed, and an old woman, the grandmother of two terrified children, was endeavouring to kill it with a crutch. A somewhat extraordinary engagement has been made ny Mdlle. Nilsson. An English concert society has en gaged this charming vocalist for a space of two months, at the rate of two concerts a week. She is to receive £B,OOO, one fourth to be paid in advance, besides the expenses of herself and three persons. A very interesting incident—l hope it is true—is related of the jour des morts, the day when all Paris goes to pay its annual tribute of respect to the memory of the dead. In one of the most secluded alleys of the eastern cemetery, a young lady, clad in black, was kneeling upon a tomb with a wreath of imniortelles in her hand. In the morning she had waited anxiously the departure of her husband in order to attire herself in a black dress, wrap a large cloak round her, and go to the cemetery. The tomb on which she was kneeling contained the inscription "Alfred X—, born 1840, died 1862." Notfar fromher, on another tomb, was a middle-aged gentleman of some fifty years. The grief of the young lady was silent, but her neighbour loudly wept. The former got up to leave, and in doing so her cloak brushed against the gen tleman. He turned round and looked up ; it was the lady's husband ! She was young and had been poor, but with a reputation beyond all suspicion ; he was rich had taken compassion on her destitute circumstances, and had married her. The encounter was awkward. To the question respecting her mission at the cemetry, the inscription on the tomb, " AlfredX—, born 1840, died 1862," was thg sole answer. Cross-examination elicited the facts that Alfred X— had been the lady's lover, but had died before she had seen her husband. " But what tomb," sho inquired in turn, " were you visiting ?" This was a poser. The inscription above the grave which the gentleman had come to visit was "Blanche." He was pre cisely in the same case as the lady. The two quitted the cemetery, agreeing to come there that day next year. Que la rie ne soit pas jalouse de la most I The museum of the Louvre has been enriched by a large wooden seat, similar to those on the public promenades. This seat came from the Valley of the Tomb, at St. Helena, and was that on which Napoleon wed to sit in reverie, gazing out on the Atlantic. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL EtrORTS.

CITELSEA.—The two Liberals in the field issued last even lag the following address :—" Gentlemen,—The third Libe ral candidate having in the most honourable and straight forward manner accepted the decision of the arbitrators, we. present ourselves to you as the representatives of the united Liberal cause. Out respective friends will materially aid in the triumph of Liberalism, will help to render hopeless a second party contest in the borough, and will confer a per sonal favour upon ourselves, if they will divido their sup port between, yours faithfully, CHARLESIVENTWORTH DILKE HENRY A. Roma." SHROPSIIIRE.— Sir Herbert Edwardes will be brought for ward as the second Liberal candidate for South Shropshire. Arrangements are being made for contesting North Shrop shire, and an effort is also being made to obtain a second candidate for Wenlock. WEST s urr om.—lt seems that Lord Augustus Hervey and Major Parker, the Conservative members for this divi sion are not to be allowed the privilege of a walk over. The Liberals have held a meeting at Bury, at which Mr. Charles Lamport, of London, was introduced as a supporter of Mr. ;Gladstone, and resolutions were adopted with tb view of carrying on a vigorous contest. MrunusEx.—A meeting of "constitutionalists" has been field at the Westminster Palace Hotel, at which a requisi tion to Lord George Hamilton, asking him to come forward in the Conservative interest, was adopted. PRESTON—Lord Edward Howard, one of the Liberal can didates, has declared himself a convert to the ballot. This change has been brought about by "his experience in Pres ton, and what he has heard." LICILFILLD.—Major Anson addressed a meeting of his con stituents at Lichfield on Wednesday night. lie said be had always been opposed to the ballet ; but, taught by ex perience, now pledged himself to vote for any measure that would really ensure secrecy. Duntrx UNIVERSITY. Doctor W(bb, Regius Pro fessor of Laws in the University, has addressed the elec tors on Liberal principles. He is in favour of disestablish ment as the only means of freeing the Church from the depraving influence of the State, and of securing the State against the dangers which have their orig'n in the unnatural position of the Church. SALISBURY.—Mr. Granville Richard Ryder, a cousin of the Duke of Beaufort, has issued an address to the electors. Mr. Ryder says :—" I protest against the proposed disesta blishment and ,confiscation of the property of the Church, but am proparod to concur in an extensive i9ctistri- D144.9A 9lkg ovvuum" Seven ran.

COTTON. LIVERPOOL, November 6. Sales probably 15,000 bales. Market steady. CORM—Since our last report the weather has become much colder, and last night we had a sharp white frost. At Birmingham, yesterday, there was a fait supply of English wheat, but the demand was dull, and prices were fully 6d. to ls. per quarter cheaper. In foreign there was little doing. Barley was quite as dear, but the demand was less active. Oats without alteration. Beans and peas were worth ls. per quarter more money. At Manchester there was only a limited in quiry for wheat; red qualities. however, maintained their valne, but white could be purchased on easier terms. Oats were quite as dear. Indian corn and other things unchanged. At the other provincial markets there was a seasonable supply of wheat, but the demand was quiet and no sales could be effected except at a reduction from last week's currencies. Barley was rather more plentiful, but the inquiry contiuuing good, full prices were obtained. Oats are still extremely scarce and dear. At Mark-lane this morning the atten dance was moderate. The demand in all departments was quiet, and but little business was reported, at beady last Monday's prices. Wheat, both English and foreign, met with a slow demand at rates barely equal to those obtained on Monday. Flour was dull, at merely nominal quotations. Barley is steady n value but buyers show less anxiety to put themselves iuto stock. Oats are not so much sought after, but nolders are very firm, as the Baltic ports must shortly be closed by the ice, thus cutting off this important source of Hors.—Borough.—We have to report a continued steady demand for all descriptions of the new English crop; most of the coloured hops have been sold for pale ale purposes, and tho London and Dublin porter-brewers are ` free buyers of thy middling sorts.. ner the the out me aub rest hen krou mnet is it I hen try, sSia, 3 of ha Liesti that the pita', t ire." of the eting. ieu' e ffect posed st the L a the TO 4
