MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England rate of discount remains
at 4 per cent., the directors not having considered
it necessary to make any further advance. This
resolution will, no doubt, increase the confidence of
the public, and the return to be published this even-
ing will, beyond doubt, show an increase in the
financial position of the establishment. The in-
quiry for accommodation has been of an average
character, but the official minimum has still been
required by brokers and others for the best short
dated paper.

It has been announced that the list of applica-
tions for the remaining shares of Cramer and Co.
(Limited) will close on Wednesday next, the 23rd
nstant.

It is announced by the directors of the East
London Railway Company, that in consequence of
the large number of shares already paid up in ad-
vance, the holders of the scrip certificates to be
fully paid up, on which an instalment of £BO will
be due on the 23d September next, may at their
option defer paying £5O of such instalment until
the 23d March, 1866. Interest will be charged on
such deferred payment at the rate of £6 per cent.
per annum.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were

The English Stock Market has continued to be
well supported at the improved quotations of last
evening. A rather firmer tone prevails, and much

The report stated that £160,263 had been added

LITERATURE.

How we are Governed. By Albany Fonblanque,
Junior. Popular edition. Pp. 214. Frederick
Warne and Company.

The selections already made by Mr. Frederick
Warne—from among all his many choice and valu-
able copyrights—of those works which are entitled,
according to his estimate of their merits, to the
honours of a popular reissue, augur IN ell, to our
thinking, for the prosperity of his house among
the ranks of our London publishers. They indicate
a soundness of judgment and a tact in discrimina-
tion that are alone to be acquired through the me-
dium of a lengthened and varied experience.
The present handy republication of Mr.
Albany Fonblanque's masterly little treatise
upon " The Crown, the Senate, and the Bench,"
' or, in other words, upon the ' general orga-
nization of the Government of the Country, will
serve of itself to illustrate the judicious character of
the selections here alluded to. How we are Governed
we have always regarded, from the date of its ori-
ginal appearance some few years since, as a work so
sound in its information, so lucid in its arrange-
ment, and so very suggestive to the reader of yet
further inquiry in regard to the important matters
upon which it treats, that it might be judiciously
adopted as a class-book in the elementary
academies throughout the United Kingdom. It is
an exposition, in the compactest form possible, of the
whole of the complex machinery of our institutions.
It is an epitome, so to speak, of the History of our
Country—or, at any rate, of the fruits of the
History of our Country—downwards or up-
wards, however we may like to express it, from the
remotest epoch to now-a-days, from the Heptarchy
to Lord Palmerston, from the first year of the
reign of Boadicea to the twenty-eighth of the
reign of Victoria. It sets before us, at a glance, in
rapid succession, everything of importance worthy
of note in regard to the Sovereign, the Court, and
the Cabinet—in regard to the two Houses of the
Legislature—in regard to the Church, the Army,
and the Navy—in reference to the Bench and the
Bar, the Courts of Law and Equity and their Pro-
cedure, and, together with all this, includes a
mass of other and, kindred matters of vital im-
port to the community. The Popular Edition
of this . equally instructive and entertaining work,
now issued from the press as a shilling book
by Messrs. Frederick Warne and Co.—being there-
by brought within reach of even the humbler class
of thoughtful Englishmen, of the artizans and of
the cottagers—has, we observe, been revised
throughout, and brought down in its facts to a
level with the present date, by W. A. Holdsworth.
The success it has already achieved, ought, as it
appears to us, under these circumstances, to be very
speedily doubled, if not even quadrupled. Simply
regarding the little work as an introduction to
Creasy's more elaborate treatise on the Constitution
—it is as the acorn is to the oak—or, in other
words, as Pinnock, Corner, and Goldsmith might
be, when all put together, as compared with Hume,
with Lingard, or with Macaulay.

AYLESBURY.

Yesterday afternoon the committee of the newly-
formed Association for Mutual Assurance against
Loss by the Cattle Plague held a meeting, lasting
nearly four hours, at the Crown Hotel, Aylesbury,
to draw up rules to be submitted to a general meet-
ing of members to be held next Wednesday. The
chair was occupied by Mr. W. Rose, of Eythrope,
and there was a full attendance of committeemen,
besides others who were deeply interested in the
subject, Messrs. H. Lepper and George A. Lepper,
veterinary surgeons to the Pleuro-pneumonia Asso-
ciation, being present.

Generally speaking, the rules of the society spe-
cially formed for assurance during the emergency of
the smallpox among sheep in 1862 formed the basis of
the rules, and certain points were reserved for the
decision of the body of members—such as, whether
assurance should be by poundage or at a certain rate
per head of stock, whether the cattle should be valued
at an average or a maximum amount be fixed, &c.
The rules having been drawn up,

Mr. J. K. FOWLER recommended that an appeal
should be made to the inhabitants of the county to
subscribe to a reserve fund, for he felt assured that
they, having an equal interest with the farmers in
the supply of wholesome meat, would on such appeal
substantially sympathise with them in the present
emergency. He and Mr. Fell, the secretary of the
Bucks Agricultural Society, had just had, in refer-
ence to the arrangements for its approaching annual
show, a letter from the President, Mr. Disraeli, M.P.,
who said he thought it was necessary to make such
appeal to the owners of the soil in the county, who
were, or ought to be, greatly interested in the pros-
perity of those farmers who were their tenants, and
he expressed his willingness to use his influence so
that the appeal might be well responded to.
The meeting decided to inaugurate the suggested
fund.

On the question of inspection of cattle various
suggestions were made, and Mr. DENCIIFIELD said
that the plague had come within six or seven miles
of Aylesbury, that diseased cattle were being carried
along the London and North-Western Railway al-
most daily, and that as there was a large number of
beasts brought into the Vale of Aylesbury from the
metropolitan markets every week the justices would
be justified in making some order on the subject.
Mr. SENIOR said that in his capacity as a magic_

At our corn exchange to-day the supply of old wheat
was small. The wetness of the weather caused a further

shown, the quality and condition of which were poor,
weighing from 601 b. to 611 b. per bushel. Beans, oats, and
barley were in better request at advancing prices.

THE GREAT FORGERY ON THE BANK
OF RUSSIA.

FURTHER EXAMINATION OF TILE PRISONERS

THIS DAY.

This afternoon the prisoners Ancenay and Nicholas were
placed before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough-street Police-
court, on remand, charged with being concerned, with
others not in custody, in fabricating notes of the Imperial
Bank of Russia.

Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr. E. Lewis defended the
prisoner Nicholas.

The first witness examined was Mrs. Morgan, who de-
posed to having washed for Ancenay during his residence
at Southleigh Lodge, Datchet, and during the time seeing
a man at work- with some papers on a table. There were
two work-rooms in the house, and Ancenay went into both
of them.

J. Hunt, a carpenter, living at Datchet, said he fitted up
some machinery, which might have been a printing press ;
he could not say it was for certain. He was certain it was
not a mangle. (Laughter.) Ancenay was not at the place
at the time, but he had seen him about Datchet.

Mr. Radnor, of Datchet, a pawnbroker, proved receiving
a photographic bath used for dipping plates in pledge, for
which he advanced him 10s.

Mr. Sleigh said that with the evidence already adduced
(which has already appeared in The Sun) was all he had to
produce that day, and on which he had asked for another
remand. He, however, thought that the prisoner Nicholas
should not be parted with at present.
Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate for Nicholas, and
contended that he ought to be discharged, as the evidence
adduced had not at all strengthened the case, as it appeared
quite plain that the boxes left with him and found at his
lodgings by the police were in fact merely for temporary
custody—that he knew nothing of their contents : at all
events, if the prisoner was detained in custody, that a
lesser amount of bail than £5OO would be taken.
_ _

Mr. Knox said he could not think of lettinf; Nicholas
go, as the forgeries were of a most extensive nature. He
would on this occasion take two sureties in £lOO each, and
himself in £2OO.

Both prisoners were then formally remanded.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
from the opening of the bridge on the Bth of De-
cember to the 30th of June last were £2,088, but
of this amount there remained a disposable balance
of
.11,174. The directors proposed to retain £250
as a contingency fund, and recommended
that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
be declared for the period during which the bridge
had been opened. This would absorb £909, and
leave £l4. All present claims on the capital account
had been discharged, but for the works now in pro-
gress liabilities to a limited extent were being in-
curred.

MERSEY STEEL AND IRON WORKS.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was
held at Liverpool yesterday ; Mr. J. P. Horsfall,
M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the gross
profits of the year amounted to £24,362, and after
paying all expenses the directors recommended a
dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income-
tax, on the paid-up capital, leaving a balance of
£2,945 after writing off all the preliminary expenses,
to be carried to a reserve fund. The report was
unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors
were re-elected.

WESTMINSTER.

BEATING A WlFE.—Richard Carpenter, a painter and
glazier, was charged with violently assaulting his wife.
The complainant, a very quiet, harmless-looking woman,
on being sworn, said that she did not wish to press the
charge against her husband.
Mr. Arnold—Did the police see any assault committed?
Inspector Rolls—A constable saw defendant assault his
wife.

Mr. Arnold (addressing the wife)—l consider it my duty
to hear the case on public grounds, and shall therefore
hear the constable. I shall not compel you to give evi-
dence, although I should be very glad to hear you, as there
might be something in your account to extenuate your
husband's conduct.

Complainant—l would rather not say anything.
Sidney Inman, 205 B, said that at half-past 11 last night
he was in Flood-street, Chelsea, and saw defendant run-
ning after his wife, who came up to witness and said she
wanted protection. Defendant at that moment caught hold
of her, put his arm round her, and threw her down in the
road. He then threw himself on the top of her and bit her
face, and witness was obliged to pull him away from her.
He then said " If you dont't take me in charge I shall
murder her to-night."
Mr. Arnold—Did you see him bite her face ?
Witness—l did. She had marks of the same upon her,
and has now. He used very bad language to her. He
was drunk.

Defendant said he wanted to walk one side of the way
and his wife the other, and ho merely wanted her to walk
with him. He was drunk, and did not remember biting
her.

Complainant said she had been eight years married to
defendant.

Mr. Arnold observed that, as she did not give evidence,
he was left in the dark about what commenced the attack,
btit he should certainly restrain defendant's violence.
He was ordered to find good bail for six months. Ho
was locked up in default.

man died instantaneously.

WESTMINSTER.

BEATING A WirE.—Richard Carpenter, a painter and
glazier, was charged with violently assaulting his wife.
The complainant, a very quiet, harmless-looking woman,
on being sworn, said that she did not wish to press the
charge against her husband.
Mr. Arnold—Did the police see any assault committed?
Inspector Rolls—A constable saw defendant assault his
wife.

Mr. Arnold (addressing the wife)—l consider it my duty
to hear the case on public grounds, and shall therefore
hear the constable. I shall not compel you to give evi-
dence, although I should be very glad to hear you, as there
might be something in your account to extenuate your
husband's conduct.

Complainant—l would rather not say anything.
Sidney Inman, 205 B, said that at half-past 11 last night
he was in Flood-street, Chelsea, and saw defendant run-
ning after his wife, who came up to witness and said she
wanted protection. Defendant at that moment caught hold
of her, put his arm round her, and threw her down in the
road. He then threw himself on the top of her and bit her
face, and witness was obliged to pull him away from her.
He then said " If you dont't tako me in charge I shall
murder her to-night."
Mr. Arnold—Did you see him bite her face ?
Witness—l did. She had marks of the same upon her,
and has now. He used very bad language to her. Ho
was drunk.

Defendant said he wanted to walk ono side of the way
and his wife the other, and he merely wanted her to walk
with him, lie was drunk, and did not remember biting
her.

Complainant said she had been eight years married to
defendant.

Mr. Arnold observed that, as she did not give evidence,
ho was left in the dark about what commenced tho attack,
but ho should certainly restrain defendant's violence.
Ho was ordered to find good bail for six months. Ho
was locked up in default.

The biddings for bills on India took place yes-
terday afternoon at the Bank of England. The
proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, £169,300 ;
to Madras,
nil; and to Bombay, £97,000. The
minimum price was as before—ls. 100. on Cal-
cutta and Madras, and ls. 101 d. on Bombay. Ten-
ders on Calcutta at ls. 1111 will receive about 30
per cent., and on Bombay at ls. llid. about 80
per cent. above those prices in full. These results
show a very slight increase in the demand for means
of remittance to the East.

THAMES.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—Patrick
Moriarty, a tall, powerful Irishman, a shipwright, was
charged before Mr. Paget, with a violent assoult on Police-
constable Kalman, 344 K.

. -
Complainant stated that on the previous evening, at a
late hour, he was on duty in High-street, Poplar, when a
female came up, and complained of the conduct of the pri-
soner towards her. Prisoner was drunk, and on the con-
stable asking him to go home, he refused to move. An
inspector and a constable came up, and persuaded him to
leave. He then went away, and complainant proceeded
on his beat, and in passing by Commodore-court, the pri-
soner came out of it and said, "I only wish I could meet you
about a mile from the police station and I would show you
what I could do with you." I then tried to persuade him
to leave. Ho refused, and struck him, the complainant, and
closed with him. A severe struggle took place, and they
both fell. Complainant was obliged to strike him with his
strap upon his arm. He then went along with him a
few yards and fell on the pavement. He cut his forehead
by the fall. Police-constable 322 IC, came up, when the
prisoner was secured and taken to the station-house.
The prisoner said he was so drunk he did not know
what he did.

Inspector Griffin stated that the previous day the ship-
wrights went for an excursion to Rosherville, to the num-
ber of 3,000, and it was a day which has s,lways been
dreaded by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Yes-
terday it wont off more peacably than usual.
The prisoner was sent to the Rouse of Correction for
two months.

of his creditors. He was discharged on Saturday last by
the Court of Bankruptcy, but he was nevertheless detained

PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE CHARTERHOUSE
SCHOOL.--A very strong opinion has been expressed by the
governors, in reply to a circular issued by the head master,
in favour of the removal of the school from its present site
near Smithfield into the country, and a committee of
governors has been appointed to consider the matter. The
committee have just visited the property belonging to the
Charterhouse at Hallingbury, near Great Dunmow, Essex,

The Cattle Plague.

The following communication relating to the puri-
fication of cattle trucks has been addressed to the
various railway companies by the Board of Trade :
" Board of Trade (Railway Department),
Whitehall, S.W., Aug. 14.
_

" Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to request you to refer to my letter
of the 7th inst., addressed to the secretary of your company
enclosing a copy of a communication made to the Board by
direction of the Lord President of the Council, which, with
a view to prevent -the extension of the existing cattle plague,
urged on the directors of railway companies, as a public
duty, that they should take immediate steps for instructing
their officers to see that stringent regulations be made and
enforced to insure cleanliness in all matters connected with
the conveyance of cattle.

" in a more recent letter the Lords of the Council have
communicated to this department that it is imperatively
necessary that their Lordships should be satisfied that all
possible measures of prevention are being adopted to miti-
gate the severity, and to prevent the spread of this fearful
disease ; and have requested that this Board will ascertain
and inform their Lordships what steps have been taken by
each Railway Board to comply with the recommendations
made to them in tho above-mentioned letter of the 7th of
August.
" The Lords of this Committee are anxious to procure
for the Lords of the Council at the earliest moment the in-
formation with respect to railways for which they have
applied.
"I am, therefore, to bog that you will immediately com-
municate to the Board of Trade full particulars of the steps
which aro being taken by your company, and of any steps
which they intend to take, in accordance with the recom-
mendations conveyed to them in my letter of the 7th of
August ; and I am to add, that my Lords will esteem it a
favour if you will give to this matter your earliest possible
attention.--I am, sir, your obedient servant,

"W. D. FASE.
" The Manager of the - Railway Company."

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.

The goods, cattle, &c., manager, has set apart 150
trucks expressly for the conveyance of foreign cattle,
and their use for the home trade is strictly pro-
hibited.

SOLWAY JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Annan, on
Saturday, Mr. A. Brogden in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
i:o n report, preparations had been made for press-
vigorously with the viaduct across the Sol-
That viaduct was, of course, the great
Ilvvaoyrkp.
Frith,
shareholders, directors, and the public
were interested intihndes
much more
construction of the line, and
would feel their m
saw considerable pro tress
madewitheasy when they
shorti way
the construc-
tion of that work. It seemed only a
Solway
across, as they stood on this side of the and
looked to the opposite shore ; but there was aaY
con-
siderable amount of difficulty, and anxious work to
be done, before they reached that side. The' dis-
tance would in time be shortened, because there
would be an immediate start made on the other
side, so that they would have almost as much work
going on from that side as from this. The
other works of the line were of an ordinary
character. As to the time when the railway would
be complete, the directors bad named in the
report that it would be completed
in two
years ; and he fancied there was no reason why,
with fair weather and no unforeseen circumstance
arising, that time should be exceeded. When their
line was completed they had a traffic ready waiting
for them to be brought upon it of some 200,000 tons
a year ; their line would reduce the distance which

traffic had to pass over in one case by 22 miles,
and in another case by 17 miles ; and there was no
possible reason why that traffic should not pass over
the line from the first day of its existence.
Mr. J. DEES seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.

Auditors were appointed, and the remuneration
of the directors was fixed at £2OO per annum. The
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

the prices of which vary from £6 to £0 per cwt. In year-
ling and old hops there is very little change to report.

WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS.

The report of the directors states that the re-
venue of the past half-year had been £2,842 less
than in the corresponding half of 1864, in conse-
quence of the disturbed state of the iron trade, and
also to some extent in consequence of the reduction
in the rates for traffic from the Cleator district, and
from which a temporary reduction of revenue was
anticipated. The traffic receipts for the past half-
year ending the 30th of June amounted to £22,778,
and for the corresponding half of 1864 to £25,620,
showing a decrease of £2,842. The working ex-
penses amounted to £9,096, against £11,232, show-
ing a decrease of £2,136. The revenue had again
been debited with £l,OOO towards the renewal of
the permanent way, and also with the cost of all re-
newals of the rolling stock. The balance available
for distribution among the original shareholders
was £7,943, and the directors recommended the de-
claration of a dividend at the rate of 64- per cent.
per annum, leaving a balance of £549 in hand. On
capital account £1,064 had been expended in erect-
ing a new water tank at Whitbeck and a new water
crane at Drigg, in the purchase of two new compo-
site carriages, and some additional machinery for
the workshops. The directors were successful in
obtaining the Act for making a line of railway
across the Duddon estuary. Negotiations after-
wards took place with the Furness Railway Com-
pany which resulted in a proposal from that com-
pany to lease or purchase the railway on terms
which the directors had considered it right to ac-
cept, subject to the approval of the shareholders and
the sanction of Parliament. The capital account
showed that £489,943 had been expended. The
capital suspense account showed an expenditure
of £6,769.

LAUNCESTON AND SOUTH DEVON.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Launceston on Wednesday ; Col. Archer in the
chair.

The report stated that the line had been opened
for passengers, and that in a very short time the
goods traffic would be commenced. It was Con-
sidered that the present traffic held out good promise
for the future. _ _

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on
the present position of the company, and expressed
his confidence that they would not be disappointed
with the investment of their money.
The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings.
