MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD.—This morn ing Mr. Richard Stuart Line, the Conservative candidate for the representation of Plymouth, Mr. Frederick J. Helbert Helbert, and Mr. Horace Ed ward Chapman, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons taken out against them, charging them that they did, in the month of November, 1865, within the said City of Lon don, publish a circular announcing the formation of the " Merchant Company, Limited," which circular contained false statements in order to in duce Benjamin Henry Moore, of Moorgate-street Chambers, and others, to take shares in the said company. Mr. G. Lewis appeared to support the summons, and Mr. Sergeant Ballautine and Mr. Sergeant sleigh appeared for Mr. Lane, Mr. Metcalf for Mr. Hel bert, and Mr. Wontner for Mr. Chapman. Previous to the charge being opened Mr. Sergeant Ballantine asked that it might stand over for a week. When the case was first mentioned to him he desired that a full statement of the accounts the moment the prospectus was issued might be laid before him. He had but that morning received the document front Mr. Young, the accountant ; and he had notyet been able to master the figures in order to enable him to grasp the charge against the gentle men then in court. Mr. Chapman had but just arrived from France, which country he left imme diately he became aware of the charge made against him, so anxious was he to meet it. He would not state the result of the statement to which he had referred, but Mr. Lewis, if be felt so disposed, would be quite welcome to look over it. Mr. Metcalfe, on the part of Mr. Helbert, also urged that the hearing of the summons might be adjourned for a week. The Lord Mayor asked Mr. Lewis whether he had any objection against the application being granted. The learned Sergeant had stated that be had only received a certain statement, which was a great mass of figures, that morning, and therefore he did not think the request was unreasonable. Mr. Lewis said he should offer no opposition to the application of the learned Sergeant. All he wished to be known was that it was no fault of the prosecu tion that led to the delay. They had commenced matters of which full notice was given on the 17th of September last. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine hoped the summons would be adjourned for a week. The matter in volved occurred two years ago, and he felt he should be quite able to convince the court that the charge mentioned in the summons was altogether ground- Less. The Lord Mayor then directed that the hearing of the summons should stand over until Friday next. The court was crowded to excess during these brief proceedings. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ARTFUL ROBBERT.—Dennis Murphy and Richard Rowley, two young men, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Lewis, bootmaker, Nos. 6 and 7, Little Windmill-street. Mr. Lewis said about seven o'clock the previous evening, hearing a cry of " stop thief" from a young man in his employ, and seeing the prisoner Mur phy run down the street he pursued him, and lost sight of him at the corner of Denman-street. Some girls and boys told him that the man who had been running had gone into a public-house, and on his going into the house he recognised Murphy as the man he had seen running. He told him that he would charge him with stealing a pair of boots, and he denied doing so, and on being taken back to the shop his (Mr. Lewis's) shopman identified him as the person who had stolen the boots. William Lowe, in the employ of Mr. Lewis, said that on the previous evening the prisoner Rowley came in and asked him if he knew a person of the name of Taylor, and while explaining who Taylor was, the other prisoner (Murphy) came into the shop, took up a pair of boots and ran away, and in his flight threw away the boots, which he (witness) picked up. Mr. Lewis detained Rowley in the shop, and he was given into custody. A witness named Bates proved seeing the pri soners together just before the robbery, and Bett ridge, 45 C, proved taking the :prisoners into custody. Rowley said that he was in the shop asking for a person named Taylor, when soma one stole some boots, and then he was accused of being concerned in the robbery and given into custody, but he did not know the other prisoner. Murphy's mother, who was at the bar of the court, here called out, " You do know him, and you have been the ruin of him." Murphy made no defence. They were committed for trial. THAMES. VERY UNLADYLIKE CONDUCT. —Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, made an application to Mr. Paget on be half of John Thomas, late second steward of the ship Flying Cloud from Sydney. He said that the complainant had been subjected to assaults and great indignities from Mrs. Hughes, the " lady" of the captain of the ship, in the course of the voyage. On one occasion, and soon after the ship left Sydney, the "lady " asked the complainant to empty a certain utensil, which was full, and he de clined doing so, saying it was not his business to empty slops of that nature. Mrs. Hughes immedi ately threw the contents of the utensil over the complainant, and some of it hung about the hair of his head and his face. It was a very strong mea. sure to say the least of it. (A laugh.) The young man was a very respectable person, and had much self-respect. Mr. Paget asked Mr. Stoddart if he thought it worth his while to open such a case as the one he had mentioned. Mr. Stoddart—Yes, sir, I do. It was very un ladylike conduct on the part of the captain's lady to say the least of it. She once threw a cup of hot tea in his face, and on another occasion struck him with a saucepan on the face. Mr. Paget could not refusca summons if it was demanded. He could pretty well tell what would become of the affair. Mr. Stoddart—The young man thinks he ought not to be used in the manner he has been. The captain's lady was only a passenger, not an officer of the ship, and I think no man ought to put up with such treatment. Mr. Paget--Well, take your summons. I can not refuse that. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, asked where the ship was lying, and tho reply was in the Victoria Dock, Plaistow. Mr. Paget said that was in Essex, and he could not grant the summons. Mr. Stoddart said it was usual to grant sum monses in cases of sea wages and assaults at sea in whatever dock the ship was lying in the port of London. Mr. Paget—We hear the sea wages here for the convenience of masters of ships and seamen. I must refer you to the Essex magistrates for a sum mons. It will turn out no doubt to be a very trumpery affair. If the Essex magistrates think themselves bound to grant a summons they will do so. I leave the matter to their discretion. JUVENILE SWINDEERS.--Joseph Knight and Frederick Cowley, boys, the eldest about 16 years of age, were charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the pro secution for Mr Thomas Daniels, ironmonger, of 194, High-street, Poplar. On the 16th of Septem ber the prisoners came to his shop and asked_ for some bolts, locks, and hinges, saying they were to do the repairs for Mr. Macintosh, the extensive landowner and house proprietor. Mr. Daniels asked the prisoner who sent him, to which the prisoner replied ;" Mr. Rowe." Mr. Daniels said that Mr. Rowe should have given him a written order. The prisoner said—. " I was sent from the workshop in a hurry, the job must be done this afternoon ; you know me and you know my father; he has got into a very good job : anifitipg to prepare the work for Ur. !dada- tosh's residence." Mr. Daniels said, " I know your father is on that work, but where have you been for the last eighteen months ?" " Oh," said he, "I have been working at Havering, in Essex, on Mr. Macintosh's residence, but I am now here to do some repairs among the houses belonging to Mr. Macintosh." Mr. Daniels then gave the goods he required. Mr. Rowe, foreman to Mr. Macintosh, said he never sent Comley to Mr. Daniels's shop for the goods in question. Coruley was committed for trial. A. similar charge was then preferred against Knight. He went to Mr. Daniels's on the 24th of September, and presented a written order, purport ing to be written by Mr. Rowe requesting Mr. Daniels to deliver to the bearer locks,- bolts, and hinges. Mr. Daniels, forewarned by what had previously happened, did not part with his property, and ked the prisoner where he obtained the order. Knight replied that it was given to him by a man outside. Mr. Daniels sent a man with him to find out the person, but he was unable to point him out. He could not do so, and Mr. Daniels gave him into custody. Mr. Charles Young said that a counterpart of the forged order was found on Comley when he was arrested. lklr. Rowe said he did not write either of the orders signed by Benjamin Rowe, or give any one authority to use his name. Knight was also com mitted for trial. WESTMINSTER. " MATERNAL REGARD."—Emma Goodman, a middle-aged woman, with an infant in her arms, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself and child. Police-constable William Page said he was near Paulton-square, Chelsea, last night when he heard a child cry, and a female voice exclaim " Can't I do as .1 like with my own child"? He went to the spot, and on a step in the square found the defen dant sitting down. Defendant—Dear me, I was sitting on the pave ment giving my dear child the breast. Police Constable—The people around told me that the cause of the cry and exclamation I heard was produced by the defendant throwing her child upon the ground, and asserting her right to do as she pleased with it. Finling a large crowd assem bled I asked her to move on, but she abused me. I examined the child, and did not think it was hurt. Defendant —Dear infant, I was a-suckling of it. Policeman—l found, when she at last got up, that she was drunk and incapable, so I took her into custody. Defendant—l should have gone on, but I sat down to give the dear infant the breast ; that was all, your worship. I hope you will forgive me. Mr. Selfe—l never forgive women who get drunk with infants in their arms. You are fined 55., or seven days. 7IIE BELGIAN NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. BRUSSELS, Sept. 30. The general shooting at the Tir altogether closed last evening, and, with the exception of a special competition among the best shots of Belgium on the 11th of October for a challenge cup presented by the English National Rifle Association, and the prize presentation on the 19th of the same month, the proceedings in which so many English Volun teers have taken part are finished. There was no ceremony at the close, but the directors have now the arduous task of setting out who are the winners of. about 600 prizes, which are given in different "series" for different shooting, some for highest points, and some for the greatest number of bull's eyes or bluncs made at certain targets during the meeting. _ _ _ It is generally believed that two English Volun teers will win the prizes given at the short range, the 250 yards, for the greatest number of bull's eyes, Mr. Bird, of the South Middlesex, having scored upwards of 200, and Mr. Russell, of the 29th Kent, being a close competitor with him. Mr. Farquharson, of Inverness, has reached the highest number of blancs at the long range, and he has also obtained the highest scores made in the long range cible fixe, and in the same range cible a volonte. The cible a volonte is a competition in which the competitors enter as often as they like, and when they make a good score they generally wait until it is beaten, and then enter again with the purpose of making still more points. For several days 20 in the cible a volonte stood the highest, and this was made by Mr. Farquharson and Mr. Bird with the Henry military breechloader, but a better 20, which is equal to bull's-eyes in England, was beaten by another score, which com menced with a carton. Mr. Farquharson at length scored 23 both in the fixe and volonte—namely, two bull's-eyes and three cartons at the 611 yards (550 metres), and this with the military-sighted weapon according to English regulations—namely, with immovable foresight of the knife-edge pattern, and the plain bar back-sight, while most of the com petitors had rifles fitted with military sights accord ing to Continental views—with bead fore-sights and back-sights, which afford a pure aim being taken without any such "blur" as is seen when the English notch back-sight is aligned. In the long range cible fixe, Mr. Duncan, of Cambridge, shoot ing with the Whitworth, and mechanically fitting bullets, scored 22 in the fire, Ensign While, of the 39th Middlesex, scored 20 with the Henry, Captain Scrivener 19, with the same weapon, and Mr. Henry, of Edinburgh, the inventor, scored 18, all of which scores will come in for some of the first prizes in this competition. Most of the Englishmen who came over here brought their Enfields only, but none of them at tempted to fire more than a few shots with the weapon in any competition except those which were restricted to the service rifle and ammunition, such as the King's Prize and the Anglo-Belgian compe titions. The Volunteers soon found that the late general weapon of the British service, but now only in use by the Volunteer service, would do them no credit against the small-bores used by other com petitors, especially as the service ammunition now served out from the Government stores to the Volunteer Corps is of the 1862 and 1863 date, and is not at all trustworthy. The English small-bore men were besieged with applications for a few shots out of any small-bore rifle by men who had brought over Enfields and a good stock of the Government ammunition, and were desirous of achieving the honour of taking home some plate stamped with the King's arms, but saw that it was impossible to win prizes with the Enfield loaded with the in ferior service ammunition, which has in some instances voyaged round the world before being issued to the Volunteer service. The brothers in arms were quite willing to assist each other, and after the Enfield competitions no service weapons were to be seen at the firing points in any active operation, and offers of the Government ammunition were made to be generally refused. The ammunition of the small-bores which first be came scarce was the costly Whitworth, but Rig by's, Henry's, Turner's, and Kerr's rifles were shot with the hardened cylindrical bullet, a good supply of which had been brought over ; but towards the close of the meeting they, too, became very scarce. The shooting with the " Henry " breechloader, the only English breechloader fired, was also stopped for a short time by a scarcity of the " Boxer " car tridge, which is used with it, for the success of the weapon at long and short distances had brought a good many applicants for its use, and the inconve nience likely to result from having weapon and no ammunition was got over by telegraphing for a supply, which was brought in by one of the last comers among the Volunteers. As several of those whose names were given as winning prizes in the King's Prize competitio❑ have won prizes in the other English competitions, there will be room for some other winners, and Captain Scrivener, of the Queen's Westminster, and Mr. Clarke, of the South Middlesex, will come in. The thanks of the competitors are due to the committee for the courteous manner in which all points were considered. The committee, in ar ranging for a new competition such as this, had a most difficult task, and they carried out their work with ability and =Mom funinoin. 111 ARKE2S-1111S DAY. CORN. The general tone of the business is quiet. The country markets, since Monday, were mostly dull, and, in some instances, rather easier. At Mark-lane, this morning, there was a fair attendance, and the tone was not worse. English wheat, of which the supply was light, moved off quietly at Monday's rates. Foreign wheat in fair supply on stock, but not offered o❑ lower terms. Demand, however, was dull. Floating cargoes of wheat were not attrating so much attention, and the secondary qualities are barely so firm. The flour trade is inactive, without change in prices.. Barley, beans, and peas are quoted fully as dear. Th.re was a good show of oats, for which a very firm demand was experienced, and rates were quite as good as on Monday. Oilseeds aro quite, but rape was firm. Oilcake i❑ moderate request, cud firm. NEW GATE AND LEADENHALL.

The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is nt. 220. per £1 sterlh4. On camparing these rates with the English Mint price et £.l tis. 104 d. per ounce for standard ,gold, it appe.as that gold is about 2.loths per cent. dearer in London than in The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 108 k per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation. of gold from the United States. DIE MEDICAL SCHOOLS OF LONDOlC—Yesterslay the medical schools in connection with the various me tropolitan hospitals were opened, and at each, according to a custom which has long prevailed on the Ist of Oct., an inaugural lecture was delivered by one of the pro fessors. SIR JOHN COLERIDGE AND THE IRISH CHURCH. —A Devonshire man, of whom all England is proud—the venerable Sir John Coleridge—has declared his intention to vote for the Liberal candidate for the county, in order to express his approval of the scheme for disestablishing the Irish Church. THE NEW BUILDINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.—It has been arranged that, on the Bth of October, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will lay the foundation stone of the new,University buildings. The Princess of Wales will accompany him.—British Me dical Journal. THE VICAR OF LEAMINGTON AND MR. GLAD STONE.—The Vicar of Leamington male a speech at a meeting in that town on Wednesday night, in which he a'ated that he had written to Mr. Gladstone to tell him he withdrew the confidence he was not unwilling to accord to him, " as a man who gives such evasive and contradic tory answers to a plain question is a gentleman whose feet stumble on the dark mountains." Baron Louis Benas, of Liverpool, has written a pamphlet on £ a d., the gist of which is to recommend the retention of the " "as the English unit, preserving the nomenclature of pounds, shillings, and pence, while harmonizing Cie two latter into decimal fractions of the former. There are, he says, two models before us —France and the United States. " France, while her centime is the smallest practical coin, has the unit of a franc not large enough ; iu the United States whilst the dollar is a respect able unit, the cent as a fraction is too large." He considers the English pound sterling to b 3 the vary best unit in ex istence, and would thus subdivide the silver coins : —The new shilling should be the present florin, which would be the tenth of the unit—the pound sterling. The farthing he would make the hundredth part of that new shilling, which would be the thousandth dart of the unit, and call it a penny. Thus the three coins known to the kingdom woull be retained, the only alteration in value being con fined to the copper currency, and in that only to the ex tent of 4 per cent., the present number of farthings to the florin being 96, whereas by this it would be made 100. The pound sterling would then remain as now the unit, and consist of 10 shillings or 1,000 pence. The old five-shilling piece would be 250 pence, the old half-crown 125, the florin 100, the shilling 50, and the sixpence 25. The threepenny pieces would have to be called in, and a new tenpenny silver coin issued, to be exactly the tenth part of a florin, or the new shilling. Baron Louis Benas asks why should th 3 English adapt their coinage to that of other court tries? Surely Great Britain, whose financial transac tions are as great as many other countries combined, need not imitate others, let others imitate her. He ques tions the advantage of the international coinage, which would make the money of one country a legal tender in another. For instance, in the case of Italy or the United States, paper is the circulating medium, and always will be when a country gets into financial difficulties. A traveller from these countries has to commence by changing his piper into coin. " Gold cannot, as a rule, he used as the actu d medium of international commerce but rather as the representative. As remittances, bills of exchange are prepared, and even tourists prefer bank notes. Take the four countries, France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, that use the identical coin in their respective dominions, and the rate of exchange in their capitals is as frequently against the purchases or vendor as between "Paris and London." To illustrate the advanta g e of deci mals in calculations, a few questions are asked. "What per cent. is an income tax of 7d. in the pound? Who per ceives that ls. 4d. in the pound makes 1-15th part of his income?" In conclusion, the writer observes that his objectis more to urge the retention of the time-honoured L. s. d. than to demonstrate the efficiency or non-efficiency of the digferot 'yds= of ounenoy.
