POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 11.

MANSION-HOUSE.—E.II. Montefiore was brought
before the Lord Mayor on Wednesday, charged under
the following serious circumstances.
Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis
for the defence.
When the prisoner was placed at the bar in the cus-
tody of George Scott,' the detective officer,
Mr. Ribton said he had so recently taken up the case
that he was scarcely in a position to define the offence
with which the prisoner would be ultimately charged.
His instructions were so bare of facts and the prisoner
had been so recently brought over to this country that '
ho would merely call the witnesses, who had just arrived
from the Cape of Good Hope, in order to afford grounds
for a remand, and to give suchl evidence as would enable
the Lord Mayor to judge of the nature of the charges
which would ultimately be adduced against the prisoner.
He was perfectly aware that the Lord Mayor had no
jurisdiction in a matter which had entirely arisen at
Cape Town, but he thought that upon hearing the
evidence his lordship would be of opinion that such a
prima facie case of offence was produced as would justify
the detention of the accused for a few days, and thus
give counsel an opportunity of going over the evidence,
and submitting the case in a more tangible shape. The
learned counsel then called the following witnesses:—
Mr. T. Watson, of St. Peter's-chambers. Cornhill, said
—I was a director of the Cape of Good Hope Bank. The
prisoner came to me at the bank at Cape Town, and a
bill was presented to one of the other directors. I
saw it in the prisoner's hand, and he asked that it
might be discounted. We communicated our suspi•
cions to him as to the genuineness of the bill. He
said he was sure the three bills belonging to the set
of which his (the prisoner's) was one were genuine, and
asked for the money. The chairman asked where the
third of the bill was, as it was divided into sets, and
the prisoner replied that he had endorsed the third of the
bill in London, and it had been sent on to China. The
chairman said that would be a sufficient reason for the
house to decline discounting the bill. That was the sub-
stance of the conversation, and the directors kept pos-
session of the bili.
We understood the total amount of the set of three
bills to be 5,3001.
The witness, in cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, said
—I could not swear tbat I 833' the bill in the hand of the
prisoner himself, but it had been lying before him on the
table, and had been produced by Mr. Thompson.
Mr. C. Baring Young, of the firm of Baring, Brothers,
of Bishopsgate-street, said—The bill produced is not

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

The attendance yesterday at the cattle-show is said to
have been greater than on any previous single day since
the establishment of the club.

The adjourned meeting of members of the club took
place at two o'clock, the Duke of Richmond presiding.
The recommendations mooted at the annual meeting on
Tuesday for the improvement of the club, by increasing
the prizes, &c., were unanimously adopted, and the
amount to be hereafter awarded will bs increased from
8501., the present limit, to 1,2001. Important additions
have been made to the money prizes iu the Devon, /dere-
ford, and short-horn classes; and distinct prizes will in
future be offered for Sussex cattle, Norfolk and Suffolk
polled animals, long-horned Leicesters, Scotch horned
cattle, Scotch polled cattle, and Irish breeds. In the
sheep classes the prizes are very much increased for cross
or mixed breeds.' Long-wools not Leicesters, and shurt-
wools not South Downs, will hereafter receive an amount
of encouragement hitherto only bestowed on thoroughbred
animals. The pigs obtain their share of advantage, another
class having been added to those already existing. There
will in future be four classes, irrespective of breeds; the
first of pigs not exceeding four mouths old ; the second
above four and not exceeding eight; the third above eight
and not exceeding 12; the fourth above 12 And under 18
naeagq old,
4,,,-itibalreiratoelr- since the !trio; dahasprogreseed slowly-,
possibly in some measure owing to the extremely unfavour-
able weather for the butchers; but it is believed that the
prospect of the great.egricultural show in Paris; in April
next, may have induced many of the feeders to hold out
for prices which, under other circumstances, would not
have been dreamt of. In point of fact, the sales of prize
animals since the opening day have been scarcely worth
mentioning. The close of the exhibition to-day will pro-
bably present a different state of things.
Among the business transacted at the adjourned meet-
ing to-day was the leasing of the show for a renewed term
of five years to Mr. Boulnois, the proprietor of the Bazaar,
at an increased rental of 2001. per annum.

that the English fleet left on the following day,

remainder of the squadron in the afternoon. Their
destination was not known at Ajaccio. Before his

Intendant-General of Sassari (Island of Sardinia)."
"Whilst the French and foreign journals," says
the Toulonnais of the 16th, " are going through a
variety of evolutions for the purpose of informing
their readers of the affairs of Naples, of which
they evidently know nothing, the Mediterranean
squadron, commanded by Admiral Trehouart, re-
mains quietly in our port. Nothing whatever as
yet indicates that it is about to weigh anchor, and

mails of yesterday night were placed on board. 2,13. r
Oneida has about 60 passengers, among whom are PI,

STONE-THROWING AND A USEFUL WARNISG. —George
Bcnford, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr. Selfe
charged with throwing stones in a public road.
Several inhabitants, who are rate-payers of Stepney
and carry on business in the Commercial-road, attended
and complained of the dangerous practice of stone-
throwing. Many severe casualties bad hlppened, A
stone came through a large pane of plate glass in the
shop window 61 one of the deputation, and the mischiev-
ous urchin who threw it made his escape. A stone,
thrown by a boy last week, struck a gentleman on the
head and inflicted a severe wound. Neither p ireozu nor
property were safe, and missiles were flying about in
all directions from morn to night.

John Phillicam, a police constable, No. 383 K,
stated that he saw the prisoner throw a stone
at another boy in the Commercial-road, and it nar-
rowly escaped a shop window. There were a number of
idle and mischievous boys constantly throwing stoner.
Mr. Selfe observed that the evil of stone throwing
had become so very serious that strong and effective mea-
sures must be adopted to put down the dangerous prat•
' tice. A young gei.tlemau who was being educated at
Harrow was struck by a stone thrown in the street a few
days age, and was likely to lose one of his eyes. He
seldom er ever left that court without observing boys
throWing stones, regardless of the danger which attended
such as abominable practice. He fined the prisoner
40. i., and in default of payment 14 days' imprisonment,
and he gave warning that he should inflicl the same
penalty (the highest he could award) in every similar
case that was made out.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1856.

A great change is about to be inaugurated in
the currency of Hamburg. Hitherto, in that
great commercial city, pure silver was the only
recognised standard of value. Gold was an article
of merchandise, which generally commanded a re-
munerative price, but it was not a legal tender,
and could not be represented by notes. The
trade and commerce of the country was entirely
based on silver, which was the sole measure and
representative of value through all the Hanseatic
towns.

For nearly two centuries Hamburg might be
regarded as the Paradise of the bullionists. A.
state of things existed in strict accordance with
the Joins-LoYD theory, and such as was manifestly
intended to be produced in due time in this
country. The Bank could not issue a single note
unless a corresponding amount of silver had been
deposited in its vaults. There it remained locked
up of no practical utility. It was practically as
if so much silver had for the time being been
sunk in the sea. The Bank of Amsterdam was
constructed on a similar principle, save that,
until within the last half-dozen years, a mixed
currency of gold and silver was there recognised.
After the gold discoveries in California and Aus-
tralia, however, the mixed system was abandoned.
Gold was excluded, and the Dutch establishment
was in every respect assimilated to that of Ham-
burg.
The heavy drain of silver to ladia and China
has, however, at length compelled the most
bigotted supporters of the ancien, regime to con-
fess that a purely metallic standard of silver is
utterly inadequate to the efficient management of
commercial transactions, and that the extreme
stringency of existing regulations must be abatcd
in order to avert a crisis of no ordinary magni-
tude. It appears that within the last five years
silver to the amount of 30,000,0001. sterling has
w
been exported to the East. The Celestial EMPE-

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The scenes that took place last night (Sunday) in the
Surrey Music Hall attached to the Royal Surrey Gardens
were such as can with difficulty be described, and which
will long be remembered by the many thousands who
locked to the place for the purpose of heating the Rev. C.
H. Spurgeon preach a sermon in the now hall. The ob-
ject of the rev. gentleman and his friends taking this
building was for the twofold purpose of making known his
religious views, and also for raising a sum of money to
build a new chapel, or, as ho terms it, a new tabernacle,
sufficiently spacious to seat the many thousands of his
hearers,‘Exeter-hall having been found too small to accom-
modate half cf the persons who regularly attendel his
minihtry. The consequence was that thus the largest ball
in or near the metropolis was engaged by the gentlemen
connected with New Park-strest Chapel for three or four
Sunday evenings ; and, although no citargo was made for
admission, it was publicly placarded and advertised in
most of the daily papers that a collection would 133 made at
the conclusion of every sermon to defray the expenses o
the hall and also for raising funds to elect the new taber-
nacle.

This appears not in the least degree to have decreased
the curiosity of the public, for as early as five o'clock, one
hour and a-half before the time announced for the service
to commence, thousands after thousands of ,wellniressed
persons, including men and women, and also a large num-
ber of.children, could be seen wending their way. towards
the gardens; and before the clock struck the bola of six
there must, at a moderate calculation, have been 5,300 or•
6,000 persons waiting in Pentou-street —the carriage-ways
leading to the entrance of the gardens, and indeed almost
every foot of vantage ground near, was liternlly besieged
by parties anxious to obtain admission.
By five minutes after six o'clock the whole of the three
spacious galleries were filled, the orchestra was also densely
crowded, in front of which, it should be stated, was
erected the pulpit in which the rev. gentleman was to
preach (rep. .By the time he took his seat, notwithstand.
